Backup Server wont load saves

[><(((*> Blub]

Hi, got a problem, i wanted to host my own server for me and my friends, i downloaded the savefiles from gportal and put them into my own server, but if we connect we have to create new charachters.

i tried nearly everything to figure out why, in the save folder there is a player folder, i guess the names are the steam id of the players, but the server will make new ones, if i rename the old ones to the new id's it wont work, if i delete some savefiles from my own appdata\local folder it wont even work, what makes it even worse, the waypoints and map is gone on the official server if i delete files there, if i copy them into the id of the "new" server, it wont work either

i cant figure out how the server is handling save files at all

i have a second pc which i want to run with our world, for my understanding, i downloaded the dedicated server, started it, connected, so that the server is creating the world data.

i copied over the Level.sav, LevelMeta.sav and the Player folder and i cant see any reason why the game just dont want us to login with our already leveld charachters.

infact, the buildings are there, nothing gone, but cant use our camps cause the new charachters are not in the guild



did i missed something? everything works so far, but to start from scratch sucks alot after 3 days of continous playing/farming xD

I'm trying to achieve this to. I have the need to be able to reliably upload existing save data to VMs using automation. I feel like it has something to do with the hash directory that gets generated inside of /0 but i can't say for sure yet.

Need to record your old servers /0/<hash-directroy-name> that is set in your GameUserSettings.ini file as DedicatedServerName in /Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer and then change the /Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini DedicatedServerName on the NEW server to the same hash
