I’m running it (just fine) on Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, if that’s any help.

Are you sure it’s the Tool (Dedicated Server Launcher) that require Direct X, or is it the actual “Dedicated Server” game?
Like, do you get an error when trying to run the tool, or is when trying to deploy/launch the game server?
Thank you for the response. I do not get any issues when I run the tool. I’ve been able to do the setup, port testing, install, everything works great.
When I try to launch the server it complained, as you said in your documentation, about the VC2015 C++ distro and DX. I was able to get the VC distro stuff on and it only complains about DirectX but for the life of me I cannot find anything that will install on that machine. It’s Microsoft Windows Hype-V Server 2019 Core. It’s a leased dedicated box from OVH and uses their OS template. I do not have access to the box physically, drives, or USB ports.
I’ve tried DirectX web installer, it fails right off the bat with a fatal error. Trying to run the UE4Prereq setup results in a fatal error with the message stating: Windows server roles and features cannot be automatically installed or uninstalled using the windows features control panel. “The following command cannot be executed: FONDUE.EXE /enable-feature:NetFx3 /caller-name:mscoreei.dll” See Attached. 
No, server 2019 core does not have a GUI. Things run fine in powershell and I see the Tool running in a window as you normally would.
I’ve honestly no idea regarding this Core Server, I would personally suggest asking to the OVH people, they probably know about that, I doubt you would be the first person encountering this issue 
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I originally had more luck running on Linux CentOS 8. I know it has little to nothing to do with your tool and more to do with the UE4 engine and how limited CORE actually is.
Bonjour, je n’arrive pas activer le message qui préviens avant le restart du serveur, quelqu’un peut m’aider svp
Il existe un mod qui peut le faire. Nous utilisons https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1853186105
pour faire nos messages de redémarrage du serveur.
I have another suggestion, has to do with the whitelist, occassionlay I have this weridness where the whitelist… gets wiped, yet the whitelist doc still has all the information, then I have to go into conan and do the whitelistplayer id commands all over to reload the list, could you look into a way to show the whitelist or reload the whitelist for these kind of issues?
Idéalement l’Anglais est recommandé, ca augmente les chances que quelqu’un d’autre puisse aider.
Est-ce que les autres messages apparaissent, si vous mettez un message en bas a droite et appuyez sur “Send” est-ce que le message apparaît? Si non, est-ce que vous avez bien activé RCON avec un mot de passe?
Don’t you have the backup feature enabled?
The whitelist is supposed to be saved with the rest of the files, is it also wiped in all the backups?
le RCON est activé, mais a chaque fois que je met le mot de passe, une fois redémarrer, le champ de mot de passe Rcon est vide, et aucun message, et de plus j’ai essayé de faire sens un message, ça ne marche pas non plus 
Typiquement ce genre de changement, il faut le faire quand le serveur ne tourne pas: Il arrive souvent que le serveur décide de réécrire les fichiers INI, et tout ce qui a été modifié dans le DSL entre temps est annulé.
Pourriez vous tenter ca.
- Stopper le serveur
- Mettre le mot de passe RCON
- Cocher “Enable” RCON
- “Save Changes”
- Démarrer le serveur
yup backups happen with ever reboot… but ive not tryed restoring the backup to get the whitelist back… though i think i know what causes it… if i use mcron to whitelist someone… instead of going in game and doing it with the console command… it breaks things…
merci ça marche super

Whitelisting IN GAME with the console commands does work fine, but doing the same thing with the rcon command, breaks the whitelist file?
Hello i have problem my server not sowing up on list and cant connect with ip ports are fine external and internal ip are statick . launcher says all ports if fine . it sows up on local not on internet
I believe these are two separate problems:
- For the “can’t connect”, there’s a know issue with accessing the server from the same local network, so if you are on the same network, instead of using the external (public) IP, try the local IP of the server and see if that helps.
- For the fact it does not show up on the list, I thought that was fixed, but apparently no (could be many things), so one thing you can do is to setup a discord webhook and have your players join it, when the server start it will say that the server is ready and can be join, so your friends can use “direct connect” on the specified IP and port.
See if that work, then we can eventually look at the details about why your server does not appear.
weird bug. I restarted my server like 5 times today (closing the white empty window and restart in the app). Last time I restarted the app wipe all config and return to default values. Why ?
Edit: My game config was also reset to default, WTF???
Weird, I’ve heard of “losing the password”, or things like that, but never losing it all.
So let’s start by the begining:
- Which version of the Dedicated Server Launcher are you using?
- Any reason why you are not pressing the OFF switch instead of closing the window (not that matters, just to know…)
- Have you setup the backups so you get a copy of the ini files, gamedb, whitelist, blacklist, etc…
Now, just to figure out if it’s the launcher or the server, one thing you could try is
- Click on the top line that shows Server XX/YYYY (path to the exe) to open an explorer window to the game server
- Click on the blue icon with a gear at the bottom left, to open an explorer window to the ini files
- Make sure all your settings are correct
- Press Save Changes
- Quit the Dedicated Server Launcher
Then, multiple time try that:
- Check in the Game.Ini, Engine.ini and ServerSettings.ini that all the parameters are correct
- Manually launch the server from the explorer window
- Close the white empty window
If at some point the settings disappear, then it was something in the server itself, not the launcher.
Edit: My game config was also reset to default, WTF???
Do you see any warning or errors in the game server logs?
