Do you have any mods enabled? Does the issue happen without any mods?
#Unexplained increase in loading times + Host server issue.

Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
And how much RAM are you assinging the server?
From the logs:
LOG : Network , 1699787837629> 632,831,612> [12-11-23 21:17:17.629] > ZNet: SetKeyValue key='mods' value='modoptions;CatsReadMod'
Shows that you have mods enabled
This is the last log though
Meaning they are not deleted
They are in the logs you sent
I recommend removing them again and then testing it again
Then send the logs again
This time send the console.txt and coop console.txt files instead
As those are the most recent

omfg this guy, he's not the one hosting our server, initially we tried opening our server and our guy couldn't load in, and then while debatign what to do we downloaded some and tried but couldn't get in again (we did NOT delete any mods, this guy)

These last logs just show that you tried to launch the server and then nothing, server has not loaded yet
I am not sure what the issue is in that case, can you explain the problem?
Who is "him" in this case? You or your friend? Did it happen in the logs you sent?

Did you shut off the game after it happened?
Since as mentioned, there is just no loading happening in the logs
Exit the game in that case and then share the logs again
Since the game needs to be turned off for the logs to update fully
Still mods
At this point I recommend doing this. Delete the "mods" folder in the Zomboid folder
Then create a new settings file for a server, keep everything to their defaults
Then start the server
I am not sure what that means
Create a server without mods and just start it
= Server opened without mods
Are you certain that you removed the mods from both the Mods and Workshop tabs
