solemn kestrel May 31, 2023, 12:53 AM

#

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 12:53 AM

#

solemn kestrel May 31, 2023, 12:54 AM

#

How are you hosting it?

Steam CMD? Virtual Machine? Web host?

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 12:54 AM

#

#

yeah tats what im using the pz dedicated server tool

solemn kestrel May 31, 2023, 12:55 AM

#

Have you edited the server.ini file at all?

If you see a line in there that says "luachecksum=true"

Change that to false

#

See if it works then

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 12:57 AM

#

Do you like to set-up a Project Zomboid server and you like to administer your PZ Server.ini and Sandboxvars.lua manually after creating it with the ingame server-editor? Or do you like to understand

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 1:03 AM

#

it says to do esc>hosts> edit config is that in game?

#

i still dont see %UserProfile%\Zomboid\sever\

#

in my files

#

#

i think thats what i need

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 1:48 AM

#

@solemn kestrel i dowloaded the .lua files

#

but still dont have serve.ini

#

but i turned the setting to false

solemn kestrel May 31, 2023, 1:48 AM

#

ocean compass <@659964708262117377> i dowloaded the .lua files

Its a file that you need to edit before running the server

#

downloading it and editing it elsewhere doesnt help

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 1:49 AM

#

idk if the file i edited was it

#

but it says servertest

#

do you want me to send you the log

solemn kestrel May 31, 2023, 1:51 AM

#

If you have edited it in the file path for the server to =false

Try to run it again and see

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 1:53 AM

#

#

just says getting server info

#

Infinite "Getting Server Info"

Hello everyone, I've been trying to host a server for the first time, got around 40 mods up, booted everything up and I got stuck on the "Getting Server Info" step during the loading time for 40+ minutes. I've just been wondering if anyone got the same issue and if it's fixable. My setup is quite...

How did you install the server exactly?

#

If you did not use SteamCMD, I recommend using it:

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

#

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

#

nvm

ocean compass May 31, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

now it says servernot responding

short nymph May 31, 2023, 6:35 PM

#

Are you sure you are using the correct IP to join it?

#

And can you share the error message that you seemingly get with SteamCMD?

ocean compass Jun 1, 2023, 1:41 AM

#

im not getting an error message from steamCMD im getting it from pz saying sever not responding and im using my public ip to join it worked last time

ocean compass Jun 1, 2023, 2:33 AM

#

its still not working

short nymph Jun 1, 2023, 9:04 AM

#

Use your Local IP if you are joining your local PC

ocean compass Jun 1, 2023, 3:16 PM

#

so my ip4

#

it worked but now its just saying getting server info

ocean compass Jun 1, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

@short nymph now what

short nymph Jun 1, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

I am not sure what you mean by that.

#

Are you saying the local IP does not work either

#

Are you sure you are using the SteamCMD version?

ocean compass Jun 1, 2023, 7:46 PM

#

im using steam cmd my ip4 worked its just saying getting server info

short nymph Jun 1, 2023, 7:49 PM

#

Could you share the logs again in that case?

ocean compass Jun 1, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

where are the logs i dont see them in what folder would they be

short nymph Jun 1, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid

ocean compass Jun 1, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

thanks

📎 logs.zip

short nymph Jun 2, 2023, 8:44 AM

#

ocean compass thanks

Thanks, this is fairly unusual. Generally this error either shows up if you are trying to connect to a Steam server without Steam or if you are trying to a server with the wrong version

#

Neither of which seems to be the case here

#

Are you able to join any random public servers?

ocean compass Jun 2, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

short nymph Are you able to join any random public servers?

the join server button is gray so it wont let me join

#

nvm it letting me press join server i need to put my username and password

#

so it lets me play in public servers

short nymph Jun 2, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

Right, so it would be a problem specifically with the hosted server, which file are you using to launch it?

ocean compass Jun 2, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

StartServer64

short nymph Jun 2, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

And you are definitely using the SteamCMD install right? That you installed manually

#

Since the other cause is usually from the Steam version

#

It works on some PCs but not on others

ocean compass Jun 2, 2023, 7:07 PM

#

yeah i installed it right

#

it wont let me open the server now

short nymph Jun 2, 2023, 7:12 PM

#

What do you mean by that?

ocean compass Jun 2, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

it just dosent open the server up

#

ima try to restart and make a server again

short nymph Jun 2, 2023, 7:14 PM

#

That is certainly not enough info, what kind of error messages do you get?

ocean compass Jun 2, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

idk i delted all the files already

#

thanks for trying to help

#

im going to reinstall the server
