help Server wont start

[lcally]

I have set up a server and it was working fine until i found out that the server lost power. since then i have been unable to run the server. When i user the server launcher it starts to run in a window but then goes off screen before i can read the messages in the window. Clients just time out when trying to connect. Any help would be gratefully received

I would say start a new world, as missing EnvArgs mean the world is borked anyway.
I am by no means an expert, but I do run a home server for my family.

many thanks have created new world and thats seems to be running ok now

you could now swap the map.sqlite files and see if it loads.
Do make backups of both the old and new map.sqlite files though.

EnvArgsEnd is a classic error when a server crashes.

Just removing the env_meta.txt file in your world's folder will solve the issue.
This file just contains the time of day (and game time), and it will be recreated on next start.
