 +  * If your system does not have enough memory (RAM), the server will start and abruptly die **with no errors** after loading many of the files.  1GB is known to be too low, 5GB is the MINIMUM RAM you can have but, you should have 6GB or more to be playable.

 +  * NPCs/dynamic content missing/gone/not re-spawning- You probably set LandClaimRadiusMultiplier to "0" Set it to AT LEAST .2 and restart your server.
  
   * Engine.ini parameters ServerPort, Port, and QueryPort do not work.  You can not run two (or more) instances of CEDS on one machine and have the additional servers show on the Official Server List. When you start additional servers on the same machine the port automatically increments (7777-->7778-->7779).   * Engine.ini parameters ServerPort, Port, and QueryPort do not work.  You can not run two (or more) instances of CEDS on one machine and have the additional servers show on the Official Server List.
