Hello René! I’m sorry to hear that the automatic DB upgrade failed. In order to figure out what happened and what can be done about it, we will need additional information.

Hi René,

I did reply to your ticket 79852 earlier.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,

I have the same issue, any fix?

Yes! Backup them first but then deleting both the .db (version 4 and 5 if they exits) files did the trick for me! Can be found in "%ProgramData%\RoyalServer\“

Hope it will work for you to!

René

Today, we released Royal Server 5.02.50708 which addresses this issue.
