Wow - thank you for the response. There are 3 of your mods installed.
Perhaps I should have been more clear about what I meant by “new game”. I am building the server for another person. It was fully expected that when I connected for checking a character would have to be created. However, everything was wiped from the game save - buildings, pets, thralls, everything gone. Only map in the game is the exiled lands, no DLC or mod maps.
I have since had the person try to connect to the server after again copying in the single player game.db. Unfortunately, after the progress bar on the load screen fills after connecting, the game stays on that screen until it gets a connection time out (multiple attempts). The connection is the same one we used for our game. We ended our game (shut down the server) months ago so I used the same ports for this server as had been used before. To set up the server, I used the Dedicated Server Launcher by Toolguy: had to update the DSL to 1.7.2 as the one used before no longer works as Funcom changed the name of the executable.
