Currently after the update my server instant crashes when trying to load my backup world. If I remove my world and let it generate a new one it starts fine, any idea what file could be busted that I could maybe fix? Making a new world every update is making us not even play anymore lol.

Error that shows on the cmd is pasted

Dedicated server from Epic not steam

Goo day sir.

It's really hard to toell, are yo urunning your serever on linux? We are currently working on a linux native server app to avoid various complications connected to deploying win application in linux enviroment.

however thigns that yo uare describing sound like a corrupted save issue.

If your last session happened before Sunday the 19th and you now cannot load into the game, it is most likely that your save is corrupted and cannot be restored.

On Sunday, April 19th we have released an update that backups your saves automatically every time the game or the server launches, so if you have played a session after Sunday 19th's update you have a save back up.

HOW TO RESTORE BACKUP FOR THE DEDICATED SERVER

Shut down your dedicated server.

Go to:

  • \R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\Default_Backups\
  • Find the relevant backup folder. Backups are named by date and time.
  • Copy the required files (folder + AccountDescription.json) from the chosen backup folder.
  • Paste them into the corresponding RocksDB folder of the active save, replacing files if needed.

I've had the same issue in a couple clients cases - the game produces backups that are unusable and crash on launch.

The log says it is looking for a MANIFEST file in the database that doesn't exist in any of the backups or current world files.
