EOS issues running a shiny new dedicated server

[risingfish]

I haven't run a server since A19 and a friend and I are going to start playing again. I've been trying to setup a new dedicated server, but I can't connect to it, and it's throwing a bunch of EOS errors at startup. Even using the local I.P. I can't connect. I've made sure to add folder exceptions to Windows defender so that isn't in the mix.

Anyone know what these are, and if they would stop me from being able to connect? Well, looks like I can't attack photos so here's some of the log lines:

Have you updated/installed your redistributable? Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn Grab 2022. Not sure if that will do it or not.

[risingfish]

Thanks for the response, I just verified it was current but repaired any way. Still no dice. It looks like there is something wrong with an SSL cert in there. Anyone know if there's a way to turn off support for Epic so it just doesn't run that code?

[NekoPawtato]

Shot in the dark here but I recall someone making a thread about the SSL certs for epic a while back, maybe it could help?

 

[Jugginator]

Yeah that next link was the next step, although I'm not sure why you're missing a cert, it seems very rare. you sure your OS is up to date? You shouldn't have to manually grab the cert unless you just really don't want to update your system.

[risingfish]

I'm running Windows 10, but it looks like I don't have the latest 22H2 update. I'm downloading and installing it now and will report back when it's finished. If that doesn;t work I'll follow the instructions to manually get the SSL cert.

[risingfish]

Installing the latest Windows 10 update didn't work. Manually installing the Amazon CA cert did work though, so it's working now. Thank for the suggestions @NekoPawtato

and @Jugginator!

[Jugginator]

Well, glad that worked. I haven't used Windows 10 in some time now, perhaps it's due to the EOL for win10 and only win11 is getting an update that solves that.

[risingfish]

Yeah, could be. I didn't know Amazon was CA now, and that must be a new development, so I could see only Windows 11 having it by default. I bought a little HP EliteDesk G2 that I use for windows game servers, but it doesn't have TPM 2.0 so can't be upgraded to Win 11. Might good to put the fix in a KB article somewhere for folks using old computers for servers.

[Jugginator]

Ah yeah that makes sense. Indeed, they became a CA I think 2 or 3 years ago, some dynamic intermediate certificate deal they have going on, honestly cert-tech isn't something I have really been keeping an eye on. I'll add that to the common solutions; it certainly should be somewhere in a KB article.
