Why does my server show offline?
- First make sure you've added your server into the database. You can do so with the code below.
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.server (id, name, ip, inner_ip, ageLimit, pk_flag, server_group_id) VALUES (1, 'Paragon', '127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.1', 0, 0, 1);
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.worldstatus (idx, status) VALUES (1, 1);
Why does my AuthServer say "Non-registered world server X.X.X.X"?
- Make sure the server is in the cohauth
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.server (id, name, ip, inner_ip, ageLimit, pk_flag, server_group_id) VALUES (1, 'Paragon', '127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.1', 0, 0, 1);
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.worldstatus (idx, status) VALUES (1, 1);
Why does my DBServer say "login failed for user sa" when starting?
- Most likely you've entered the string wrong in account_server.cfg or another file.
- It could be that the sa account is still disabled as well. Double check SMSS to verify.
- If you've entered it correctly make sure restarted the service after the changes from the guide.
Why does my DBServer say "invalid login to DBServer" when I try to join my server?
- Most likely you forgot to change the launch parameters of your client when you moved away from using NoAuth.
-patchdir score -patchversion 2019.04.19 -auth IPOFYOURSERVER -noversioncheck
My AuctionServer is running but why players can't list items?
- Most likely your auction_server.cfg is incorrect.
ShardIp 127.0.0.1 SqlDbName cohauc SqlLogin "DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};Server=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Uid=sa;Pwd=YOURL33TPASS;"
- Start AuctionServer64.exe
Why is my MapServer displaying popups?
- Most likely your server.cfg is set to -filedebug. Change to this -nopopup to no longer see windows from it.
How can I prevent MapServer from getting popups that prevent loading until acknowledged?
- Add this to servers.cfg:
- MapServerParams "-nopopup"
Why aren't my Architect Missions aren't publishing?
- Most likely you are missing the "missionserver" folder. Create one in the root of your server directory and start MissionServer again. For me this is C:\COH\missionserver.
How come my server says "Paragon" and how do I change it?
- (empty server list)
- Paragon
- Cryptic
- Bree
- Undying
- Phoenix
- Rebirth
- Resurgence
- Titan
- Unity
- Torchbearer
- Unstoppable
- Perseverant
- Indomitable
- Timeless
- Everlasting
- Excelsior
- CoHWorldServer_17
- CoHWorldServer_18
Examples:
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.server (id, name, ip, inner_ip, ageLimit, pk_flag, server_group_id) VALUES (1, 'Paragon', '127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.1', 0, 0, 1);
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.worldstatus (idx, status) VALUES (1, 1);
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.server (id, name, ip, inner_ip, ageLimit, pk_flag, server_group_id) VALUES (2, 'Cryptic', '127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.1', 0, 0, 1);
INSERT INTO cohauth.dbo.worldstatus (idx, status) VALUES (2, 1);
How do I start Events
- In-Game you can use the following commands to start events.
/shardeventstart scriptdefs/Holiday_11_Event.scriptdef
/shardeventstart scriptdefs/Halloween_11_Event.scriptdef
/shardeventstart ScriptDefs/SpringFlingEvent.scriptdef
/shardeventstart ScriptDefs/NemesisPlotShard.scriptdef
- There is also "/shardeventstop" to stop said events
What configuration files do I need to create?
- You need to create auction_server.cfg, chat_server.cfg, and servers.cfg. Crust Fire created a php script which will make these for you.
- Crust Fire's Auto Config Generator (Source)
Where is the i25 source and how do I get it?
- What we do not have: We are missing the I25 source at the moment. No, it has not been scrubbed. We were told that was in the works two days ago. We have not received it yet. No, that does not mean it is being "Withheld", it means it is going to take time. Please do not continue to spread rumor and disinformation. Once we have the scrubbed I25 source, I'll update you again.
What Operating System do I need to host this?
- So far users have tried many different combinations without issue! Below are a few of the most common.
- Operating systems
- Windows 2012 Server R2 Standard
- Windows 2016 Server Standard
- Windows 2019 Server Standard
- Windows 10 Home
- Windows 10 Professional
- Windows 7
- SQL Server
- SQL Server 2017 Express
- SQL Server 2017 Dev Edition
- SQL Server 2012
Why is i25 using the wrong network adapter?
- If you have two NICs you might find that the i25 is using the wrong one. Some users have performed a hex edit to MapServer to correct this.

How do I move characters between accounts?
- SQL to move hero to another account. Useful if you want to move characters created on fakeauth to an actual authserver account.
- SYNTAX:
UPDATE [cohdb].[dbo].[Ents] SET [AuthId] = your account id, [AuthName] = 'your account name' WHERE [Name] = 'your hero name'
- EXAMPLE:
UPDATE [cohdb].[dbo].[Ents] SET [AuthId] = 1, [AuthName] = 'AccountName' WHERE [Name] = 'HeroName'
- You can view characters in the database by doing:
SELECT * FROM [cohdb].[dbo].[Ents]
Why am I getting an error when trying to setup the AuthDB?
- Most likely it is a named piped issue. The article below has helped a few users.
- SQL Error 08001
When I run AuthServer.exe I get an error about config.txt
- The fix for this is pretty straight forward. For some reason you are missing config.txt. This file for me is in c:\coh\etc\config.txt
How do I add AuthServer to the Community VM?
- Open up ODBC Data Sources.
- Click File DSN then click add to the right.
- Choose ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server. Click Next.
- Enter AuthDB into the box and hit next then finish.
- It will then say something like ‘Which SQL Server would you like to connect to?’
- Type localhost\SQLEXPRESS and hit next.
- Choose with SQL Auth enter sa into username and the password you use previously.
- Tick choose change default database to and select cohauth and hit next.
- After this hit finish then ‘Test Data source’ this will test the auth database connection to your main database.
- Next you need to update your servers.cfg.
- It should currently look like below code.
DBServer 127.0.0.1 18717 ShardName ShardName //AuthServer 127.0.0.1 2104 DefaultAccessLevel 0 NoStats 1 UseFakeAuth 1
- Change to look like the below code
DBServer 127.0.0.1 18717 ShardName ShardName AuthServer 127.0.0.1 2104 DefaultAccessLevel 0 NoStats 1 //UseFakeAuth 1
