guarantee u it isnt a ram issue. same thing happening to me even though it used to work just fine

#

u can try aborting every 5-10 minutes until it works. for some people it works for some it doesnt

faint siren Jul 26, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

another thing u can do is verify file integrity

#

and get the newest steam api

sweet fractal Jul 26, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

I have done an asinine amount of fixes for this, verified the files, tried vanilla, uninstalled EACH and EVERY mod, REINSTALLED EACH AND EVERY mod, cut the mods to the bone, nothing worked

#

it's extremely frustrating

faint siren Jul 26, 2025, 4:46 PM

#

you know ive done the same thing

#

and nothings worked for me either lol

#

lmk if u find a

#

solution lol

@sweet fractal @faint siren both of your issues pretain to the one talked about in https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1394252791966601226

#

its to do with the server failing to update/download mods from steam. I'm dealing w/ the same problem rn

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 12:00 AM

#

#

#

shell garnet Jul 27, 2025, 12:06 AM

#

shell garnet Jul 27, 2025, 12:43 AM

#

already have. It keeps getting hung up on server mod downloads/updates

#

it's been random mods. first Lifestyle, then a food mod, ect

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 12:44 AM

#

yeah, im not sure if its mod based

#

im thinking its an update

#

bc

#

this happens now

#

though. have ou found a solution?

#

you*

shell garnet Jul 27, 2025, 12:45 AM

#

faint siren im thinking its an update

you mean a mod update?

#

or a steam update

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 12:45 AM

#

shell garnet you mean a mod update?

no a pz update

#

or steam

#

this exact same modpack worked a while back

#

but me and my friend have not been very lucky in finding a solution so far

#

ranging from steamcmd to taking out mods. same issue

shell garnet Jul 27, 2025, 12:48 AM

#

yeah its hella annoying

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 12:59 AM

#

shell garnet yeah its hella annoying

hey so it’s definitely a mod issue. problem is WHICH bc we booted it with (ok funny but still) exactly ONE mod and that mod was common sense and it was all just fine. guy told us to keep rebooting every 5/10 minutes but that didn’t help. apparently we didn’t do it enough but i am at the brink of insanity and i cant handle rebooting anymore

shell garnet Jul 27, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

what does reebooting so often do?

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

shell garnet what does reebooting so often do?

who knows bruh

#

apparently fixes the issue by itself (???)

#

me and my friend booted the server with less mods. it worked

shell garnet Jul 27, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

for me the culprit was Sapph's Cooking

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

is your mod pack huge?

#

EAIT

#

WE HAVE THAT

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

shell garnet for me the culprit was Sapph's Cooking

shell garnet Jul 27, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

faint siren Jul 27, 2025, 1:07 AM
