Error

[fervent knot]

Friends, how can I fix this error?

[hidden oyster]

Is this happening while trying to join a server?

[fervent knot]

Yes, when I log into the server after creating a character, everything is fine on the admin account. The server is hosted.

[hidden oyster]

The server may not have updated correctly. You will need to perform a clean install on the server. Is it hosted by yourself or through a third party host?

[fervent knot]

At the entrance of hosting providers. I understand that a world wipe is necessary? We want to avoid this.

[hidden oyster]

You shouldn't need to delete your saves when performing a clean server install. It is best to contact your hosting provider for support with this.

[fervent knot]

Could this be because we updated to 42.17? Could it be a mod issue?

[proper cloud]

that's the 42.17 update, got a vanilla server and have the same problem

[hidden oyster]

It is because of the update yes, something went wrong when the server was updating and the best fix is to perform a fresh install of the server files.

[fervent knot]

Do I need to install all the server files on the server again?

[proper cloud]

backup your save before, then try a reinstall and add your save then, I'm trying it righ now

[fervent knot]

Be sure to tell me if you were able to solve this problem.

[proper cloud]

Yes it works.

What you need to do is to get your save folder and you .ini files, reinstall a clean server from scratch and put your save folder and your .ini files again in the server, should be working

[fervent knot]

Do I need to unplug the multiplayer switch after updating it? So I don't lose my save?

[hidden oyster]

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean

hey ya, im having the same problem, but when i checked the files in the exact path, the file is missing like the game says and it throws the error at me in the save i played before it updated, but once i made a new save and played, it let me in even tho the file was still missing. im guessing the server can have the luachecksum turned off to fix this no?

[hidden oyster]

You can turn the luachecksum off but it's not recommended. You can try deleting the "media/lua/client/survivalguide" folder entirely and then running update on the server, I've had success with this on my own server.

[candid shadow]

could maybe getting the file from someone else work? i mean its just a copy and paste thing for the lua file

it could work no?

[hidden oyster]

deleting the folder and running update or doing a fresh install is recommended

[proper cloud]

No your client is good, the server has too much files in this folder, should only be one.

[candid shadow]

will check it out, thanks

[candid shadow]

also wouldn't that mean no one can join? other friends joined it normally was just me getting errored
