Stuck with Unable to get file version size: epochserver.dll

[ProjectViper72]

Ok sorry I'm new to Epoch but not to Arma 3 server, and this is a new one for me anyways. I'm running a vanilla Arma 3 server with a fresh install of  the latest version of Epoch. So all looks good till I get the message below and the server then restarts and does this in a loop.

Unable to get file version size: C:\TCAFiles\Users\*******\****\@EpochHive\epochserver.dll

Here is my command line:

-ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -port=2302 -noPause -noSound "-cfg=A3DS\basic.cfg" -ranking="" -par="" "-config=A3DS\server.cfg" "-profiles=A3DS" "-servermod=@EpochHive;" "-mod=@Epoch;" -world=empty -autoinit

And here is the rpt file:

Any help or a point in the right direction would be very appreciated.

Try removing -world=empty and see what it does.

[ProjectViper72]

That's a default of my server provider I guess I don't have an option to change that.

try setting a custom command line then.

[ProjectViper72]

I have Host Havoc and I use the Custom Command Line Manager they offer. I used it to setup the command line above, and the is not an option to take out the "-world". This is the down fall of renting a server I guess. When I used to host servers at home, I could do a lot more with things. Do you think it's the issue? From the rpt it looks more to being a file issue (epochserver.dll).

[arc7r7]

I'm pretty sure everyone has that error in their rpt.log somewhere. Something is stopping your server from loading past that point. Most likely your command line. I've never seen quotations in a command line either. You might consider submitting a ticket to your host provider on this.

[ProjectViper72]

Ok yea I just did that. But as far as the command line, it's the same on my other 2 servers that run a different mod and they both have had no issues starting. But I'm not sure about this mod, it might be an issue with my host and their mod setup. Or even the database they use, I read somewhere on here that it requires a certain version database. Who knows lol I'm just stuck, but thanks for your help, and when I find out I'll post back here. But most likely it will turn out to be on my end and not the mod its self.

I get that error in my RPT everytime too. Seems standard. As Arc said, it's what ever's running next that's causing the problem

@OP, your problem is somewhere else - ignore the DLL. I get it too, it's appearing every time and it is a warning - not an error.

that warning appears, probably due to unsigned DLL. I guess arma3 warning us provider of DLL might be hax0rs!! but we all know and love and trust LordAwol and axeman (the man who will give us Epoch hoverboards, how can we not love him).

[ProjectViper72]

Yea sorry you all are right. I asked my provider and they toff me to reinstall the mod and if that didn't work, reinstall the server. So I went to reinstall the server and there it was, the issue, they had the "start database" in the section to reinstall the server lol. So where I thought the database was active, outit was not. As soon as I stated the database, boom an active and running server lol. Sorry for all of this, I have been used to the databases already running and not where I had to start it.

glad it's sorted!
