(It'll probably require two steps - tar.xz decompresses into .tar, then you extract the tar, both steps with 7z.) + +#### Troubleshooting + +##### My character's stats are decreasing after each login** +You changed your profile's XP rate to way higher than what is supported. Maximum supported XP rate is `5.0` for normal players and `10.0` for Ultimate Ironman players. There are no plans to change the maximum supported XP rates in the future. *Requests to change it will be ignored.* + +##### The console log keeps repeating `Still waiting for the server to start...`** +There are two known things that can cause this: + - You have extracted the files to a path containing spaces, e.g.: `C:\Users\My Name\Documents\2009scape`. Move the directory someplace else where there's no spaces in the path. + - The MySQL server has failed to start. Make sure there is no `mysqld.exe` in the Task Manager and that there are no other database systems running in the background. + +##### The MySQL server says `bin\mysqld.exe: Can't change dir to '' (Errcode: 2 "No such file or directory")`** +You have moved the game directory after launching the game for the first time. To fix this: +1. Close the console log to shut down the server software. +2. Locate `db/data` directory. +3. Edit `my.ini` file located therein: + 1. Locate line `datadir=`, where `` is the path displayed by the error message. + 2. Change the part before `/db/data` to the path you have moved the game directory to. + 3. Save the file, close your editor. + 4. Restart the server. +4. The server should now start properly. If it doesn't, verify the path you entered is correct.
