First rule is to never run a binary file using root unless absolutely necessary.

Create a user if you haven't already by useradd and if need be the groupadd commands.

Should you have created the home directory for that user, it should look something like this /home/{user}/ where {user} is the user you've added or logged in as.

Place all your files there and run GC from there Smile

If you run GC with -f parameter like so:
Code:
./GameCreate.x86 -f


Then you can view the consol and see what GC is trying to do. Make sure the files are in their relative directory and the way GC attempts to fire up the server... Perhaps post back the log?

What game server are you trying to run?

You can also add:

log-file gamecreate.log

To your gamecreate.ini file and it will write a log file instead (without -f).
