hi, what are you searching for? your homepath?

to know what is your homepath , simply open the console and type "fs_homepath"

Press windows button and r at the same time. Type in %APPDATA% and press enter. A list of folders should pop up and Daemon or Unvanquished will be among them. There should be a file called crashlog.txt in main.

EDIT: I'm not on Windows atm but I'll jump on tomorrow and post some more troubleshooting info (if I don't then bump the thread).

Looks normal to me... The hitch warnings are just warnings saying that your server "lagged" for 926 miliseconds [Its basically the server freezing for that time period] and it's normal to find it when starting up.

Admin.dat hasn't been found because you never created one, but you don't need one anyway, unless you're planning on having people administrate your server apart from you...

Also, i'm not so sure about this:
