Resolution
This is an issue with the Server Config file.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tyco\CrossFire (assuming C is the installation drive) and open up the “SoftwareHouse.CrossFire.Server.exe” as shown below:

Open the file and at the start you will see:


The configuration of the file is repeated twice in the same server config file. All you have to do is to keep one set of configuration data and remove all other.
Save the file.
Perform repair of the victor Application Server.
Now the services will start.
