@undercover This is a widespread problem for all servers. The solution of replacing steamclient.so for Linux servers or the .dll on Windows servers works perfectly. I've been reading that some paid servers revert the steamclient.so version to the old version after a reboot; on IndiferentBrocoli, it worked perfectly. In our case, we applied it because it affected two different mods as of today, one of them a tile pack, and disabling the mod was no longer feasible.

mod isnt working please fix

None of the aforementioned fixes solved this mod not loading on servers. Only mod out of a 150+ mod list that caused this issue.

Just so anyone else having the issue knows, you're not the only one and yes it is this mod specifically.

How could I update the Windows stuff for the server via shockbyte control panel? I get no access to the Steam.dll's

Apologies for thinking its an issue caused by this mod, I will be updating the servers steam client

For those still struggling, I used this Reddit thread to troubleshoot.

https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/1lyw5ww/psa_for_all_server_owners_who_is_facing_steam_mod/

My server is hosted by Indifferent Broccoli (Linux) and I have Windows. To get the actual steamclient.so file I needed to replace in two locations in my server control panel, I joined the Discord linked in the Reddit post. In the #announcements channel, there's a thread titled "Server Unable to Updated Mods..." that has a direct link to the steamclient.so file you'll need.

I downloaded that file, backed up the existing steamclient.so files from my control panel, and replaced them. I then restarted my server and watched the Console tab to ensure it was working. Took about 15m to restart since I have ~250 mods, but the server eventually went back live and my crew was able to successfully join.

Hope this helps, good luck all.

in some way this mod is preventing my server from starting up, an error with updating or something, somebody knows how to fix it?

@LEXXXOLET How do I do that? I can't find the .dll files where you say they are on Windows.

LEXXXOLET

hes GOD

yay its working!

Server owners are advised to update their steamclient.so (for linux), you can get them at your steamcmd folder.

For windows, need to update steamclient.dll, steamclient64.dll, tier0_s.dll, tier0_s64.dll, vstdlib_s.dll and vstdlib_s64.dll. You can get them from steamcmd as well.

It is not a mod issue, it is PZ using outdated API.

fix it pls

@Alchemist thx you for fix!

Now worked?

Yeah i hope that the author has contacted steam support or tried to troubleshoot with steam to see if the issue can be mended.

guys its a steam error not the mod creator

fix it pls

fix it pls

As a temporary fix, just roll back to the last update from 19 January until they sort it out. I’ve tested it.

payaso

Thanks @Alchemist , you save my server

@Alchemist thank you for the Solution bro, I'm running 3 servers & one of em is PZ and this really helped a lot, straight up fix all of em.

@Reactor
In Nitrado you should have some FTP Credentials in your Dashboard.
You can connect yourself with an Client like FileZilla and basically move around files like in your local machine.

@ASINSINA same I just uninstalled it because it was breaking my dedicated server. Every other mod was fine just this one for some reason. Hope the issue gets fixed soon! Love this mod so much!

we had to completly mover our server and some lost a few things on map. but after installing this and moving server ports, were back online

@Omni This is a steam issue, not the mod developers issue.

i already deleted from my server. ;-( problem solved.
but...i need to know when i can re-introduce the mod again.
keep on! thanks @Scavenger

Is the mod working yet?

straigh long and spike hair with mod yaki hairs retexture - b42 (modid /YakiHRB42)
It becomes defective when using any type of hat except the visor.

Porque no te conseguís un trabajo honesto amigo?, tírate unas pruebas antes de subir a producción algún cambio "radical", si no rompes los servidores payaso...

@Reactor Oh, I do not know. I've never used Nitrado and I don't know if it's possible to transfer data via SFTP. Below is a new possible solution from reddit.

A new solution to the problem

@Alchemist Thanks for this fix

@Alchemist I use Nitrado,im not sure how to replace the workshop file with he one from my client? I cant just copy and past, do you know how?

me rompio el servidor no funciona

@therokito you can find "2447729538" by using ctrl+f. There should be 2 entries

broke my server :/

this mod eventually broke my server

@Alchemist Your fix worked, thank you so much.

@Alchemist
where is this "WorkshopItemsInstalled" section, thats what i cant seem to find

for fucks sake, it's easier just to get rid of the mod...

@Alchemist Thx

SteamCMD allows you to manually update the mod.

I see
Thanks for the information @Alchemist and @luliela

@Vingt-_Trois - Mods being uploaded, updated and rolled back are not being configured correctly by steam, and requires manual adjustment. Hopefully it is fixed soon

Fix from @Alchemist works like a charm ! Thx

@Vingt-_Trois try this fix. It is necessary only for the server owner. The players don't have to do anything. Yesterday, there was a similar problem with the Ammo Maker mod and it was fixed in a similar way. We found out that the problem only occurs on dedicated servers. And it will continue with each new update of any mod.

@luliela If repairing the configuration files as indicated by @Alchemist fixes the error, I don't think the problem lies with Steam.
