Well I was hosting a map in multiplayer and suddenly my game crashed, I opened it normally and when I went to host again the following message appeared (was playing on current build) https://prnt.sc/JmY_nPvgWzbO https://prnt.sc/JmY_nPvgWzbO https://prnt.sc/JmY_nPvgWzbO

i created a new single player with the exact same mods.

#

#

Depending on your OS you can google : how to find User folder

#

I'm not able to comprehend the instructions given in that forum, could you show me step by step on resolving this issue?

#

You need to search this path manually, it's said where. C drive can be found in Your PC folder.

#

You can screenshot your folder if you can't go further

#

I managed to navigate over to the pz files

wet sluice Jul 17, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

Next "Saves"

Find your world in one of these files, should be in Multiplayer folder

#

Now you can follow the rest of instructions , back it up

cursive jackal Jul 17, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

how would I back it up? Just copy the said folder and paste it elsewhere?

wet sluice Jul 17, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

Correct

cursive jackal Jul 17, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

#

i can't seem to find the map_ver.bin

#

#

wet sluice Jul 17, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

Then open the new game save folder that you created. From there copy the “map_ver.bin” file and paste it into the broken save folder.

#

Wrong folder

#

You need to find this file in a new single player folder you created just now

cursive jackal Jul 17, 2023, 5:58 PM

#

where can i find the single player folder?

#

oh no worries i found it

wet sluice Jul 17, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

Did you create a new single player game with the same mods?

#

it's in the same folder

cursive jackal Jul 17, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

#

i copy and just paste it into the backup folder i made?

wet sluice Jul 17, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

Copy it and paste it in the Multiplayer save

#

in servertest_player

cursive jackal Jul 17, 2023, 6:03 PM

#

i think i did it

#

wet sluice Jul 17, 2023, 6:04 PM

#

There is another solution in the same post

cursive jackal Jul 17, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

i deleted the tbin file

#

this caused me to be able to access the server

#

but zombies in safezones respawned and i'm guessing this goes for everywhere else

#

is there any other issues that comes from deleting the file

wet sluice Jul 17, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

That was mentioned in the fix 🙂

cursive jackal Jul 17, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

is that the only issue?

#

what about electric shut off days or how many days i've been alive?

#

did that reset aswell?
