I cant start server 3.11.0 (CPU does not have POPCNT)

[Spetznaz-NL]

I have downgrade it back to 3.10.2 and it works again.

CPU: E8400 @#GHz
Windows 10 Pro
4Gb internal memory

[TS.ChrisR]

Btw as a small update to this.

Next Server 3.12.0 (64 bit) will still require POPCNT but will tell to use the 32 bit instead when CPU does not has this feature.
The 32 bit version won’t have that requirement.

We decided to solve it that way because POPCNT makes the whole process a bit faster.
Anyone with old CPU will still be able to use the server then.

My question would be why do people still use 12y or even older hardware? Blows my mind every time I read this on the forum!

Because migrating a dedicated server which you can only access remotely is a painful process which requires a lot of time and you have to pay for two severs until the migration is completed.

There is ton of useful “old” hardware that is more than capable of running a voice server

If you are leasing a dedicated server and that host is not pushing for regular hardware updates you may be leasing from the wrong place. Most hosters would not charge for both during a reasonable migration period even. If they are charging for two servers while migrating, especially from such old CPUs, just move to a new hoster as they are doing it all wrong.
I still feel most of these issues are from private users that bought budget servers at auctions from hosters that upgraded their farms knowing they needed to for features their clients would need. As most has spoke of the cost to replace/upgrade hardware, not migrate to a new server.

And TeamSpeak agrees, but also wants to support the performance improvements provided by the new instructions in “modern” CPUs. So, starting at server 3.12 if you have processor not supporting POPCNT you can run the 32bit client. So when 3.12 releases to run the 64bit server you will need a 64bit CPU with POPCNT support to run it, otherwise run the 32bit server.

Is there a way one can follow this issue to know if it does get added other than just waiting for 3.12.0? If it doesn’t happen I’d like to know so I can decide if I need to upgrade my hardware or migrate to another voice solution.

[NakedViking]

I just tried the 32 bit version of 3.10.0, 3.10.2 and 3.11.0 and they’re all giving me
Unable to open licensekey.dat, falling back to limited functionality even though the license it shows is still valid for several months.

[NakedViking]

My server does not start properly. The process doesn’t crash but log file 1 is never generated and I can’t connect to it. It started happening around the same time this issue started for all the other people who have posted threads about this.

Soons as i launch the exe it shows in the bottom right then closes immediately

[BallisticY]

I have already tried to run it as administrator, run it with CMD, and delete ts3server.sqlitedb
no success with any

[TS.ChrisR]

Gues its old hardware the server is runnign on? you have to wait till 3.12.0 is public then.
Try 3.10.2 Index

[Stefan92]

@TS.ChrisR so who has old hardware they has 2 option:
1, needs to use the 32-bit version or
2, need to upgrade the hardware to newer to 64 bit version?

[TS.ChrisR]

1. Yes.
2. 64Bit support on CPU does not mean that the CPU supports POPCNT. In that case 32Bit version of server must be used then.

[Stefan92]

I misspelled it, i wanted to say as you wrote

[BallisticY]

This worked thank you

[JayDz]

When I start a fresh Teamspeak Server it is starting, I accept the license popup, I see the tray icon and then it shuts down.
Here are the crashdump and log files, does anyone know the problem?
Thanks!

[JayDz]

3.10.0 downgrade fixed it, something wrong with 3.11.0

[Stefan92]

@TS.ChrisR

SSE4 is a SIMD CPU instruction set.
But more important is that your CPU has POPCNT

If you don’t know this then just give me the name of your CPU and i will find if POPCNT is included.

@TS.ChrisR

CPU older than 2009 in general do not have that feature.
It was added around 2009/2010

you can upgrade just use the 32 bit version, check this

I cant start server 3.11.0 (CPU does not have POPCNT)

You should read the server log in case you did nothing else. You may also had problems with accounting and not with your CPU. No the server does not have any auto update feature yet.
