SOLVED: Plex Arcade: Can't start any games. Different errors on different clients

I can’t get Plex Arcade to work. I’m just trying to use the built in Atari games, so we can leave cores aside. I set up Parsec and linked accounts and that looks OK. My system should be compatible:

  • Windows 10 server, not headless
  • Plex version 1.23.2.4656
  • Plex not running as a service
  • GPU is Intel in a Haswell i5-4300 (supported according to Parsec)
  • DirectX 12 installed
  • Plex Game Transcoder is in Windows Firewall
  • Remote Access is set up and working fine
  • Hardware transcoding for video is set up and working fine
  • Plex Pass subscriber
  • Intel video driver is 20.19.15.4568

Tried to launch games on Plex for Android, Plex Web (on latest Edge), and FireTV 4k. I get different errors on different clients, and at different times including:

“Error: An unknown error occurred”

“Unable to start game session.
Error code: 99 (Game Server)”

“A critical error occurred.
Error code: 6 (Unknown)”

“An unknown error occurred.
Error code: -1073741819 (Unknown)”

I’ve also gotten others including -6 but I didn’t write them down. I’ve tried restarting the server, looking through forum posts, and going through the logs but so far I haven’t been able to get it to work.

Here are some excertps from logs, I can send more if needed:

I can’t think of anything else to try. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, isn’t it always the way. I restarted Plex Server again (I already had before) and it is working now. Heck, I’ll take it. New issue is after loading cores compressed games don’t work but I’mm move that to a new thread. Leaving this here in case anyone else needs some encouragement to just try restarting again.

I’ll save you the effort. Yes, for some cores you are correct, whilst the scanner will find the zipped the core won’t play them zipped.
