It's hard to tell what the issue might be in isolation, when does this happen? is it causing the game to crash?

Can you share your logs.zip file found in %UserProfile%\Zomboid?

Are you running any mods?

I am, same mods from 42.16

If you disable your mods and start a new save does the error continue to happen?

It’s on a dedicated server can’t really do this, however I know it wasn’t happening until I move the save over to 42.17
