I have a fresh B42 Server and brand new STEAM CMD install that will never load.

I attached a log if anyone can help me figure out whats going on. They are both fresh installs...

what method are you using to run your server? this

    java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: C:\Users\mix74\Desktop\WGSM\servers\2\serverfiles\..\Zomboid\mods at WindowsException.translateToIOException(null:-1).

stand out

broken folder structure or permission issues maybe?

oh! maybe the recent security update that blocks .. in paths? I don't know wgsm, but remember seeing it mentioned a lot as having issues after that update. a search turned this up https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1484124817459380255

oh, that fix is rolled into Beard's repo now 🙂 check this one out https://github.com/DoctorBeardz/WindowsGSM.ProjectZomboid

That's exactly what I'm using

[runic dock]

your plugin is the current version v1.7.2?

[abstract marsh]

let me check

gona download latest and try again

[runic dock]

I don't know WindowsGSM, but I'm pretty sure that relative paths like this are a problem after recent security updates

I think that's what the latest plugin release addressed

otherwise, hopefully someone with WinGSM experience drops by

[abstract marsh]

is there a way to auto update plugins? lol

trying it now

[runic dock]

that I do not know good luck!

[abstract marsh]

it worked lol
