Unfortunately, this is basically a server ad - with an added money incentive. Server-Ads need to go into our megathread though, so I'm removing this post.

I mean you can look at the staging version yourself, it's been on our website since a few weeks and is on Steam beta branches as well since last week, just keep in mind it's not a stable version yet, hence not released.

It's still in QA and will be released once QA is happy enough with it. QA held it for way longer than anticipated, hence an announcement will be made once we know for sure QA is ready to make an estimate.

Here is an idea as to what has been accepted and/or what the community has asked for and gotten to vote on in the past, these votes come from people who own the game on steam or through the website itself. Just a note on that for ya. Boats are the only really "confirmed" thing I can recall that woul...

On Windows this is typically an issue of missing VC++ redistributables:

As for Mac, I'm not sure, we unfortunately don't support that.

It's still bad at least.

So just start disabling drivers till it works?

Unfortunately, basically yes. The error itself does not report what software is the cause for it, so trial and error is the only solution.

Comment

No, but as rubble contributes a lot to server lag, many admins clear rubble (ir)regularly.

Any software doing anything with sound could be, including every driver.

This is an incompatibility issue with WWise Sound Engine that we use since Update 9.

Basically, it means that any sound-related software on your PC is not compatible with it, that is mostly due to outdated graphics drivers (sound part), sound drivers or very old sound-affecting drivers, for example from Webcams.

Another software causing issues is ASUS Sound Studio that got an update making it incompatible with all games using WWise recently. (If you got that, revert to the prior version or remove it)

Thank you very much for the fast and informative reply! I plan on running a long term server and using a 2km map, the 40 player cap will never see the full capped amount as I've only got about 10-12 truly active players.

Will it make a noticeable difference using HHD or SSD for storage?

Yes, SSDs greatly speed up the access to the database and hence anything law and statistics related, which often causes the most lags. I would never use a HDD for a public Eco Server.

RAM requirements are dependant mostly on world size and sophistication of play (how many laws are used and how complicated they are, for example). We officially only support a maximum of 4km². 32 GB of RAM is recommended for that size and a permanent player count of 40 players online that are very active, you can go with notable less for smaller words and less active servers.

For CPU you generally want a high frequency CPU, a CPU with many cores will not benefit Eco.

Storage depends on activity of the server and the time its running as well. White-Tiger needs about 10 GB per savegame and hence about 250 GB for all backups.

Next Update is 9.4. 9.3.6 is a hotfix.

The answer of KaleMaster is unfortunately wrong. Yes, you need a internet connection to play Eco, even in Singleplayer.

Ah cool, they are a special kind of bricks, though, that has specific traits, they got their own article on german wikipedia to explain that.

You can also sleep in a bed ingame, to fast-pass time.

While the bricks will get an overhaul in regards to their color (and potentially more color options as well), that is intended and there is no plans to change that. I wish I could send you the wikipedia article on what kind of bricks those are, but it's not available in English, unfortunately.
