We are experiencing an issue while trying to host a co-op server in the game. Whenever we attempt to start the server, we receive a “Normal Termination” error, and the server shuts down immediately.

We have already tried a few basic troubleshooting steps such as restarting the game, verifying game files, and checking our internet connection, but the issue still persists.

Could you please help us understand what might be causing this error and how we can fix it? Any guidance or steps we should follow would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Your drive is almost completely full, this can cause errors especially when hosting, clearing some space may help.

Also I'm not seeing any logs without mods and the ones you are using are producing a lot of errors, i need you to try it without mods.

I understand what you're saying, but if we can log in without mods and cant't with mods what we gonna do?

#

Then that's a mod issue and not something I can help with, you can try enabling them one by one or half by half until you find the ones causing issues. I do know that a lot of people have been having issues with the Common Sense mod and I see that giving errors in your logs but there are many more too.

#

we have like 130 mods we will try to remove commonsense and try

#

again
