Hey there!

I am hosting a local multiplayer server using the in-game 'Host' button. My Steam username is "Dusty-Bun".

Symptoms & Errors:

  1. When attempting to grant admin via the external server console using 'setaccesslevel "Dusty-Bun" admin', the console throws Lua syntax errors due to the hyphen in my name, stating: '=' expected near '-' and '=' expected near '<eof>'.
  2. When launching the server and joining, the red "Admin" overlay button is completely missing from the left-hand UI panel.
  3. Instead of the Admin button, the UI only displays the "Client" button, "Crossed Axes" (PvP), and the "Debug Menu" spider icon.

Can anyone help?

Possibly a database corruption, go to %UserProfile%\Zomboid and delete the "db" folder there. Then retry.
