How do i restart the server as an administrator

Julian

i only get a blue chat window with a status block. it says i have to restart as an administrator to configure the firewall, but i have no idea how to do that

Hi Julian,

Once the blue window shows, the server should be running. Can you take a screenshot of the error message?

its not letting me post any pictures here, but this is what I get in the server chat

I figured out what went wrong - i only got the Server, but i needed the Client as well

Glad you figured it out. Don't forget to get the free stuff. It'll make testing a bit easier.

I'm still getting this message, what do you mean when you say you need the client as well? because I've been using the Client software but it still says LAN only mode

I just downloaded both the server and client I am getting the same messages. How do I correct. I have 4 other players in the room with me, they can see an option to join, but it keeps giving an "error joining server" "no session token available for the user" message.

Same problem. Windows 10, Server v3.0.3.0b. I launched the server software after download and get the "restart server as administrator once" message. Tried launching the app to Run as Administrator (Search for the server app from the Start Bar, right click the app icon, click Run as administrator). But the app doesn't open at all when I do that.

I opened and ran the client download next (Client v3.0.3.0b) and then launched the server. The only difference was that the server opened in LAN only mode and an error stating  "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:32000 could NOT be opened using either NAT-PMP or UPnP" could be the AT&T router doesn't have one of those options on or is blocking that port. I will see if I can get to the router admin page to check.
