Dedicated Server hangs after mounting Pak files - does not respond to network connections #18

Description

@Tealk

The StarRupture dedicated server starts successfully but stops responding after mounting the Pak files. The server process remains running but does not accept network connections on port 7777.

Problem:

After the log line:

LogPakFile: Display: Mounted Pak file '../../../StarRupture/Content/Paks/pakchunk0-WindowsServer.pak', mount point: '../../../'

The server becomes unresponsive. Nmap scans show the port as "closed" (not listening):

PORT     STATE  SERVICE
7777/udp closed cbt

However, the server process is still running:

Z:\home\steam\server-files\StarRupture\Binaries\Win64\StarRuptureServerEOS-Win64-Shipping.exe 
-Log -Port=7777 -ServerName=StarRupture -MULTIHOME=0.0.0.0

Environment:

  • Docker Image: indifferentbroccoli/starrupture-server-docker
  • Wine Version: wine-10.0 (Debian 10.0~repack-6)
  • Container: Running under Docker with proper port mapping (7777:7777/tcp and 7777:7777/udp)
  • Parameters: -MULTIHOME=0.0.0.0 is set

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start the container with default configuration
  2. Wait for server to fully load (Pak files mount successfully)
  3. Attempt to connect via nmap: nmap <ip> -sU -p 7777
  4. Server does not respond

Expected Behavior:

The server should initialize the network layer after mounting Pak files and listen on UDP port 7777 for incoming connections.

Actual Behavior:

The server process hangs silently after Pak file mounting. No further log messages appear, and the server is unreachable from the network.

Logs:

The server completes mounting all Pak files but produces no errors indicating initialization failure. Wine-related errors (OLE, setupapi) appear but are non-blocking. The server simply stops progressing after this point.
