"File doesn't exist on the client"

[drake]

So, I'm trying to host a coop server to play with friends, but whenever I try to start it up, I get the message in the title. It says that X file doesn't exist in the lua folder. I delete the lua folder, and verify integrity of game files so they can be reinstalled properly, but nothing happens. Any advice?

If you are only playing with friends you can go to your server settings and uncheck the "Lua Checksum" setting, not recommended on public servers though.

Yeah, I'm only hosting to play with 2 more friends. I did what you said, but now instead of getting the file error message, on startup I get "Connection to host lost" permanently. Is this related or just some problem with my internet?

Interesting, it should not be related but it might, can you share what kind of error it is exactly that it shows with the Lua being missing?

And can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
You can use any file sharing website of your choice.

The lua error changes everytime, it's related to mods. It says that a certain Lua file is missing in the ProjectZomboid/Media/lua/client folder.

As for the logs, here they are.

Yeah not sure in that case, it doesnt show much in the logs only that the connection was lost, though before that there were some AIZ map errors, I would recommend experimenting by removing mods and seeing if the server loads without them, starting with the AIZ map perhaps?

That apparently fixed the issue. I'm not getting any lua or connection errors. Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me!
