hope it helps

It worked for a few days, but now i have the same problem again. Why does ist work fine so far and then again......? I have no idea what causes this crashes. I guess it ist a game of pure chance to find the reason yet.

[Meshane2]

i havent had the problem for several days...

until now.

i posted that i've had no problems. and then boom. i have the problem again. reinstalling the c++, directx etc did not help, i fear it's actually the daemon file that is the problem.

i'm going to try deleting different parts of the file individually to see if i can get to the root of which file is actually causing it. it may take some time though.

I agree, the reason for this might be the daemon file. But, take your time. I am not in a hurry.
It's like to look for a needle in a haystack.

1st deletion
cm_yo_daemon.exe
ran file check on steam.
no results. unable to run the game. multiplayer not checked.

2nd deletion
mysql folder
no changes after file validation, unable to go into 'local' game.
i was however, able to log into multiplayer.

3rd deletion
deleted the entire "performance_schema" folder
able to create 'new world' load into it, exit out, load into it again etc.
HOWEVER
when trying to load into my existing game
i get the following error

connection error. error code:
(CR_INTERNAL_DB_ERROR)

and while watching the 'server window' i note that while checking the 'stretchedcropmainenance' i start getting all sorts of 'red' and yellow warnings.
yellow...
db::mfRS(1 ms) select f_addGeoPatch(1.1.44 blah blah ...
then it goes 'red' with

errr ... noscope.. cmdb_addgenpatch()-db error
errr... noscope.. terraindeformer::_registergeochange() can't register geo patch in db.
db error #1035 function lif_1.f_addgeopatch does not exist. query: select f_addgeopatch(1.1.445.1.116894607) (please note that this number changes with each error... )

this tells me that basically my crops are jacked up... by the way, i just submitted a bug report about my damned carrots not reproducing when farmed (100 farming) fertilized soil, and on 'new' soil as well. 3 worlds, no carrots growing.

SO.. i believe its either corrupted vegitation OR something further, will continue to 'test' and let you know.

the fact that i was able to start a new world, enter it, leave and go back in again even with my current world being corrupted is encouraging..

[Meshane2]

please not that while 'loading server...' is on my screen for the 'new world' it takes a full 3 to 5 minutes for the server to load before i get the character selection screen.

i have been able to successfully create new worlds and enter them multiple times with no problems after having deleted the 'performance_schema' folder.

the problem appears to come in while loading my 'existing' world.
on the 'server' window the final error that i run into

server seems to load with no problems. then i get the following 'red' errors.

#db error #1305: procedure lif_1.p_issueIdRange_unmovable_objects does not exist. query: call P_issueIdRange_unmovable_objects(1.100); [T:DBIPrimary:0x7290]

then i get the same for 'movable' objects

THEN i get an interesting one.

db error #1305: procedure lif_1.p_yo_check_steam_accout_exists does not exist. query: call p_yo_check_steam_accout_exists (numbers).

...............................................................................................


is this an issue with the system not being able to validate steam or is it possible that the 'steam' file inside my 'world' has been corrupted?

or is it

THOSE DAMNED CARROTS?!

[Meshane2]

server error.png

i've checked the folder...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Life is Feudal Your Own\daemon\mariadb\data\lif_1

the red error files talk about movable and unmovable objects...

i have those objects in my folder, i'm going to attempt to remove them one at a time and see if i can load my world.

[Harald1050]

Hmmm, i have also yellow and red lines. But i didn't pay much attention to them as long as they game started. Maybe we can compare the content.
But anyway, very interesting news.

[Meshane2]

i tried 'copy paste' to move the 'movable and unmovable' object files from the usable world to my existing but apparently corrupted world..

no joy

[Meshane2]

another thing that i've noticed, immediately before this problem starts, i typically crash with a 'mutex' error...

not sure if it's relevant though.

[Meshane2]

ok, after trying to delete each file individually and replace it with a working file from each world, i've learned that you cannot interchange the files from one world to the next.

that being the case, it's impossible to figure out which files are corrupted and which ones arent.

long story short..

corrupted worlds tend to keep sql from launching.

if you delete your corrupted 'world' you can then start new worlds without any problems, assuming that your 'performance_schema' folder has not become corrupt as well.

the only viable solution i've found is to do the following.

1. delete performance_schema
2. delete the offending/corrupted map/world
3. validate files on steam
4. restart game

i have not figured out how to salvage your map/world if and when i do, i'll post it.

[Bluddworth]

Although I have really enjoyed playing on another player's server, the version of the game is called "Life is Feudal: Your Own".

I took that to mean "Your Own Server", which is apparently not the case.

When is there going to be a patch to fix this bug?

I will try that. But i fear i have to start all over again. Still i can't join a server (ram error). I will see where this all leads. Maybe with upcoming fixes and patches there will be a way for me to play. But thanks again for your support.

[Meshane2]

I'm still working to figure out a way to avoid losing the world. i have managed to retain the world in the sense that i didnt have to create a new one. but, my character, and all of the buildings, mines etc were gone.

with any luck they'll be squishing this bug soon and we'll no longer need to worry about the sql data getting corrupted.

[Harald1050]

Yes i hope so too. Meanwhile i started again from the very beginning. I have some experience doing so.

[Bluddworth]

I still can not create a world, even with firewall and antivirus off; even after having deleted files; even after using other work-a-rounds suggested here.

Local Server Can Not Be Accessed (Timed Out) is the message I keep on getting.

Can someone actually post a screen of that the "Server Console" looks like, so I know what to look for.

Thanks

[Harald1050]

After the recent upgrades/patches i can't play anymore. To create a world takes at least one hour before i stop because it is ridiculous to wait any longer. And: i still can't join a game. I deleted the game. It doesn't make any sense to try to play yet. Several months later this will be fixed.....hopefully.

Cheers........

[Deranth]

I played for three days straight and I decided to take a short break. I shut down the server and went out for a bit, when I came back the server wont start, I can't make new ones. I haven't tried the daemon deletion fix because I was hoping that there was a new fix that doesn't require deletion of my world since it's been months since the last post in here.

update animal_breeds set
^power_hit_base_speed_min = 3,
^power_hit_base_speed_max = 8,
^alertness_range_min = 10,
^alertness_range_max = 20,
^ru->
%

My server gets this far, and then the window grays and windows pops up asking me if I want to search the internet for a solution.

[Neosky5k]

I having the same issue. The server was working just fine for a long time, after some updates it just decided to not pass the animal section.

[Fenrir1969]

tried the delete daemon folder and verify through steam and it works but not on the first go you have to run the game twice for it to take effect (well i had to anyway) and of coarse you start at scratch again, but then at least you can play the game and it is an Alpha

[Sempavieh]

This problem seems not to be solved.
I still get the Error Message "Cant access local Server".
Even after installing all redists, deleting the folders and so on.
Is the only way to have your own server to build up a dedicated one?

[Ergabbo]

Whoah, this is crazy. It's been a while and it's still not solved.

I tried solving it without losing character information, but I haven't been successful at all.

What happened to me was that I was playing and the power went out in my town, when it came back I tried to open the game/server again and I get that same damn message

update animal_breeds set
^power_hit_base_speed_min = 3,
^power_hit_base_speed_max = 8,
^alertness_range_min = 10,
^alertness_range_max = 20,
^run->
%

Before that, I had no problem at all...

As Deranth said,

"My server gets this far, and then the window grays and windows pops up asking me if I want to search the internet for a solution."

Now, maybe it has something to do with the animals in the world, so I tried starting it with 0 animals but I get the same error. Then I tried just creating ANOTHER new world with totally different settings and I still get the same error, so I think this is not a Database error, it's more like an external error.

I hope this information helps someone smarter than me to figure out the problem without deleting all the information and character data

[Alandro]

Hello i try the fix, i lose 60h of game , now i have the same problem after 40h, i dont want lose my save again !!

Give me a real fix please

HO! the real problem is not server acces, but the server not start lol, how acces to a server not started lool

I continu to find a solution today (delete and replace files of my save)

[KatoNamus]

Hi Everyone. Thank you all for the info in this thread. It didn't solve my problem though so I had to scratch around a bit to get a workaround, which I'd like to share.

First, an explanation of my problem; it wasn't so much the server not working as the client timing out before the server was ready. The client then just sits there while the server eventually finishes and then sits and waits for the client to connect.

I dug around a bit and found the scripts folder which has been very enlightening. In two of those files I found that you can get to the client's console with [ctrl]+[`] (the grave/tilde button, next to [1], under [esc]) and there you can use this command to have the client connect to the local server again: startConnection("127.0.0.1:28000")

So, the steps are:
1. Start your client and create a world
2. Watch the server's console window. You should see a bunch of white, yellow, red and green text scrolling by (eventually).
3. If the client gives you the Timed out, unable to access local server message, just click okay.
4. When the server shows the 3 green lines where it says it's connected to Steam and what your Steam ID is (or something like that) switch back to the client.
5. Press [ctrl]+[`] and type or copy & paste this: startConnection("127.0.0.1:28000")
6. Press enter. You should now be connecting to your server.

I hope this helps. It's very unlikely that it'll fix everyone's problems, but for those with similar issues as I had, this should do the job.

Also, I only got it working right before I had to get to bed last night so I haven't played much yet and I'm currently at work (hoping my boss doesn't play LiF: YO, or at least doesn't have this problem ) so I don't know whether or not this will affect saved data or not.

[FoxtrotTango7]

Just a quick addition to KatoNamus's post. I did everything you said, still wouldn't work. Then I changed the IP address in step 5 to my IP and it works. So for example I type in for step 5 startConnection("xxx.xxx.x.xxx:28000").

Perhaps the underlying problem with this whole issue is that the game uses the wrong IP to set-up a private server or just isn't finding mine and others and just using a default.

[Hosamov]

After two hours, I saw the two fixes above this post, and found they worked for me... At least to get the screen to create my character. Thank you!

[Leighton]

i cant find where " \Steam\SteamApps\common\Life is Feudal Your Own. " is i am running windows 8.1 can someone help me when i search it in my files it says it cannot be found and to check the spelling

[NikeSXT]

Well, I'll explain my problem first.

I have the problem 2-nd time already. Both - after I was forced to shutdown my computer while server still working. Meaning - if you exit the game, but not close server window in proper way and shutdown your computer - your database will be corrupted and next time you start LiF - server won't start at all.

Workaround, where you delete daemon folder, then backup missing files - worked for me. Still I lost my world and all created characters.

The idea I wish to share - is not fixing some files and replacing some of them in hope you'll get your stuff back. Its about making a backup of whole daemon folder after you finish your game session. Every time. So, in case of emergency you'll lose you progress of maybe hours of gameplay, but not days or weeks. This is what I'll try today. I'll create world and characters, will play for some time and cut some trees. Exit, backup, load again, then simulate crash to corrupt database. Then I'll try to restore backup and to see what does it do.

I'll keep you guys informed.

[NikeSXT]

Allright. Backup is working. Step by step now...

1. Exit game client.
2. Close server console window properly.
3. Find and open this folder: ..\Life is Feudal Your Own\daemon\mariadb
4. With WinRAR - or any other similar program - backup the \data folder and move it somewhere, like My Documents or whatever. Or... just copy \data folder wherever you wish.
5. Got "Local server can't be accessed" message next day - fine. Restore \data folder and that's it. You'll lose, of course, all progress made from backup point, but at least all your "60 hours of gameplay" will be safe.

[Tremax88]

ok like everybody else i tried playing the game, did all the steps in this topic and other topic too, tried the quick fix; worked the first time, then figured out i need to do this EVERYTIME i want to play, then again i downloaded mysql because the dedicated server said it could not connect to mysql still not working.

now i am a little disapointed and sad, i did try to play this game on 3 computer now, but the same problem arise everytime. i don't know if it's something i do or if it's something else. but i am really angry to have lost that 40 ish dollars on a game that i can't even try.

( btw NEVER played the game at all cause it doesn't work )

pls someone help me.
