Gamecore failed to start on Windows 10 (inner version: 19044.2006)

[yuanjianrui]

I have copyed licence.dat to hok_env_gamecore/gamecore/core_assets, thanks for your kindly help on that. Then I add the folder " hok_env_gamecore/gamecore/core_assets" to the system environment variable "PATH" as some dll files needed by sgame_simulator_remote_zmq.exe are stored in the folder core_assets.

There is no directory named _ai_simulatorremote in hok_env_gamecore folder. I do nothing here.

Then I start the gamecore by first "cd hok_env_gamecore/gamecore", and then ".\sgame_simulator_remote_zmq.exe "2022" .\sgame_simulator.conf"

I get the following output on my screen:

The zmq socket for the second hero failed to start. Then I changed the port 35301 written in .\sgame_simulator.conf to some other ports (in order to avoiding port confliction), the gamecore still print the same error messages.

Do you know what is wrong here, and how can we fix the above issue?

[hongyangqin]

Do the servers running on port 35300 and 35301 work correctly?

[yuanjianrui]

It's not. It didn't work not only on 35300 and 35301, and also on many other ports when I changed the configure file .\sgame_simulator.conf.

[hongyangqin]

You seem to misunderstand my point. Before configuring the sgame_simulator.conf and running the sgame_simulator_remote.exe, you also need to start the servers working on the corresponding ports to process the game request from the simulator. Have you started the servers? And all the servers work correctly? Every time the server receives a request, a reply message is required to send back to the simulator even if it is an empty message. Please show how you start the servers and simulators to reproduce the problem.

Besides, the begin_ret:0 shows that the license.dat worked.

I had the same problem .I run ".\sgame_simulator_remote_zmq.exe "2022" .\sgame_simulator.conf" in the powershell locally and get "recv failed2: -1". How to solve this problem

[liyuxuan-academic]

I am having the same problem here and I would suggest an updated README.md, which would be a great help. Further to @hongyangqin 's reply, I wonder where do I start the mentioned simulator ?

I have the same problem..... Sorry for not knowing what's the mentioned simulator. @hongyangqin

[hongyangqin]

We commit a fix this week, please retry.

[liyuxuan-academic]

We commit a fix this week, please retry.

The recent updates seemingly only involve updates in README.md. Retrying according to new instructions does not help. It still yields outputs including recv failed2: -1 as this issue's original poster reports. Recalling previous replies in this thread, @hongyangqin mentioned something called simulator. My appreciation if maintainers could elaborate more over this matter. Like, Is simulator openly available? It is no where to be found in this repo at the moment.

yeah same issue here. Tried with the latest gamecore downloaded from https://aiarena.tencent.com/aiarena/en/open-gamecore. But still getting recv failed2: -1

[yang05941601]

Mark+1. I find that when I choose the "sgame_simulator_common.conf", it can work successfully.

[hongyangqin]

@liyuxuan-academic @TownYan

Please download the gamecore first and you can find the simulator at gamecore\bin

https://aiarena.tencent.com/aiarena/en/open-gamecore

@hongyangqin

1. Upon running this command, my system (Win10 21H2 19044.2251) shows the problem.
2. Please update the README.

[Amberjay18]

We commit a fix this week, please retry. Sorry, I still met this issue: _Read Conf file Error: .\sgamesimulator.common.conf Error,Parse Simulator Conf -2 BTW, please @hongyangqin update the README (there no folder named ai_simulator_remote, maybe named gamecore ???) Thank you so much.

[hongyangqin]

@Amberjay18 Yes, It is the gamecore. We provide the gamecore-server after this commit.

hi, @hongyangqin I have resolved this problem!!!thank you so much. BTW, how am I resolved it as below.

• First, I changed the sgame_simulator_remote_zmq.conf.example file content according to docuement, and renamed the file to sgame_simulator.common.conf.
• Second,I added the path of gamecore bin,lib folders to the system environment variables.
• Third,I started the gamecore-server.exe in the CMD before go ahead to gamecore bin folder.

Maybe this solution not suit for everyone, but you can try.

[hongyangqin]

@L3Y1Q2 Maybe you can try this on linux: https://github.com/tencent-ailab/hok_env/blob/master/docs/run_windows_gamecore_on_linux.md
