Lost connection to server after trying to host
So I've been trying to work this out for a few days now (ever since the update really).
Whenever I launch my server, one of several things can happen:

- The texture packs of different mods get loaded and then I get put on the "make a character" UI despite still having a character on the server with my exact steam name. I'm too afraid to go through with the character creation in case it overwrites my actual character so I usually just click back from there.

- After loading the different texture packs, I start hearing the background music that normally plays while the "these are the end times" messages appear on screen and the game stops responding for a while, once the game responds again I see the "These are the end times" text and I lose connection to the server shortly after being forced to quit to desktop.

- Lastly and pretty rarely, the game will just boot up the server as normal, it will still stop responding after the textures load but it'll keep going to the receiving map chunks part and etc... before letting me in.

Obviously I thought these issues were from mods so I started trying to find which one caused the problem. So I would load up a server while putting on mods five by five from the original one. It ended up crashing when I got to Tsar's common library so I thought it was the culprit. However, I can launch Tsar's perfectly well on its own and with a lot of other mods, really it feels like the three scenarios I described above happen randomly and the third one only happens very rarely.

In short, I have been unable to distinguish a pair or group of mods that may be conflicting with each other. I thought Brita's weapon and armor pack conflicted with Tsar's but I can run a server fine with both of them on. I'm at a loss now.

I should mention that the server already had the "first scenario" problem in the previous update but I didn't pay it too much attention since it would fix itself after a restart. Ever since the update the second scenario has become much more prevalent however.

Here's the list of mods (in the order they appear in in the server settings) :

I have the same issue, it seems that this is a common bug in the new update maybe. I will be coming back to this post for an answer, hopefully commenting will give it enough attention. :steamsad:

I'm actually surprised someone has the same issue. I thought this was a very unique problem that only I had and I couldn't find anything about it by googling which is why I posted it here.

same issue
Kirara Nov 2, 2022 @ 12:52am 
same issue here. But sometimes the game runs just fine, sometimes doesn't.

I was testing some mods and found that the problem itself is with brita. when i remove it from my server it works as expected
I know what is causing the problem but I have no idea how to solve it.

Yep, same issue... It looks like everything works if I don't load Brita and the autotsar mods at the same time

Update :
Tried to enable one by one the autotsar mods, and it's the fjord mustard that makes the lost connection issue! I can't believe I finally found the problem, it's been 3 hours that I'm working on it.

Dude, when in doubt, turn them all off. car spawns are already rare. Better to sacrifice the autotsar's mods than the game, right?
