tried uninstalling didn't work

Can you try doing a full reinstall?

First, uninstall the game, then go to "Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid" and make sure there are no leftover files or folders there.

After that, go to “%UserProfile%\Zomboid” and delete everything there except the “Saves” folder.

Then just install the game again and see if that helps.

The problem is that on the new version, there are 5 files of the new F1 guide on the host and only 1 on the client. And if the client updates the client (Deleted/reinstalled/checked the integrity), the client still does not download these 5 new files. And does not allow the player to enter the server. I hope the developers will see my SMS.

[red osprey]

those are old files that probably weren't deleted from previous version. A clean reinstall of the whole server on the last update makes them go away

[hollow thunder]

In version 42.17, there is 1 file in the folder E:\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\lua\client\SurvivalGuide or 5?

This means your server has the extra file

Reinstall your server files, remove any leftovers

[hollow thunder]

Okay, thanks, but what about this problem? In the admin mode. This problem has been haunting me since version 41. I've tried absolutely everything I can. I even reinstalled Windows already

He also can't hit with a weapon and can't shoot.

Also, 2 out of 5 players suffer from the same problem.

Mods enabled?

[hollow thunder]

Yes, a small number

[mystic dock]

Can you reproduce it without any mods

[hollow thunder]

We once tried to run an empty server without mods during the transition, and the result simply shortened the time, but later, after 30 minutes, everything disappears exactly, and if you start teleporting around the map, it speeds up the process of losing textures.

[mystic dock]

Could you share logs from that attempt, or share the server IP so I can join and test it for myself once it happens in those circumstances without mods?

[hollow thunder]

Yes, of course I will send you messages?

The zombie folder from realistic car physics is bugged at the moment, just delete it from the steam zomboid folder

@mystic dock, so you know for others now

It doesn't get removed on game uninstall, because it needs to be manually put into the game folder

And @grand sphinx
