project zomboid having a tough time hosting a coop

[Cpt.Price]

i have purged the game from my pc and then reinstalled the game. running a coop with no mods seems to be impossible now. can someone help me get on track to at least understanding the underlying problem?

[Cpt.Price]

i have alot of logs saying things like this

LOG : General , 1712014037956> MISSING in SettingsTable: ChatStreams

that's part of the logs i think might help. if you need something specific, pleas let me know.

What kind of error do you get when you try to run it? Since you did not specify that, only that its tough to host.

[Cpt.Price]

To be fair, i don't know what i'm looking for. I will be trouble shooting for around 5 hours today trying to learn more, and anything i find i will post.

[therealiimarco21]

Can you run a solo game? If so, it might be an issue with the settings you have for the world. Or try lowering the server memory (the GB).

[Cpt.Price]

At the moment, i do know, if i Prompt a -nosteam launch i have no problems.

If i verify the game integrity, prompts (missing 1 folder reacquiring 1 folder) almost every time.

it loads server but wont connect, when launched without -nosteam launch option.

[Cpt.Price]

i can run solo fine i will do a bit of trouble shooting and reading cmd prompts.

[Cpt.Price]

I have found out if a log like this appears

LOG : General , 1712015271996> ERROR DoubleConfigOption.parse() "ZombieConfig.PopulationStartMultiplier" string="

it means nothing. As one adjusts the settings, if you remove a setting and retype something.
for the time it was blank it will prompt this log for the corresponding setting that was edited.

example:
Population Start Multiplier = 1.0
Population Start Multiplier = ...

LOG : General , 1712015271996> ERROR DoubleConfigOption.parse() "ZombieConfig.PopulationStartMultiplier" string="
LOG : General , 1712015271996> ERROR DoubleConfigOption.parse() "ZombieConfig.PopulationStartMultiplier" string="


Population Start Multiplier = 1.2

and then the error log stops.

this log is null, as it is impossible to leave a setting in a state where there is no value.

[Cpt.Price]

porting issue? maybe, this is all i can come up with at the moment.

[Cpt.Price]

the server responds when pinged, but?

well i am stumped, but this is what i came across.

[Beard]

It just looks like a memory issue, how much total RAM do you have and how much are you assigning to the server?
