dedicated server problem with all mods(Resolved)

[eXistenZ]

since midnight my verygames server doesn't work with modded saved world

apparently there is due to an update at this time

I have this in my log files

Have you updated your copy of the game on Steam?

I use VeryGames too, and everything is (mostly) working just fine.

[eXistenZ]

Yes my copy is up to date but the server seems not
"This world can not be loaded. It has been created in newer version of the game."
I tried to repair it and reinstall it with no effects just can launch new world without any mods

Try going here:
http://www.verygames.us/support.vg

Click 'Support IRC'

Ask someone for help (They have support people in there, it's faster than making a ticket).

Give them a moment to respond.

Tell them you want to update your server to the latest version of the game. I was back up and running in 30 mins.

Also, make sure you are backing up your server files.

I set up a script on my computer which runs every 20 mins, automatically goes via FTP, downloads all the files (except the mods.. faster), and zips them onto my system. This way if something goes way wrong, I can go back.

Resolved Big Thanks to Bean


On VG servers when saving to times your setup pannel, it will erase data in sandbox.sdl so take care to click once and launch server

[Delebre]

You're welcome dude :D

Yeah, I don't know if it's just his server (I didn't test on mine yet), but if you save your config twice in a row (without refresh), the second time erased the sandbox.sbc file to 0 bytes.

So this means you should ALWAYS make backups of your server at least once or twice a day (or more!).

Has anyone figured this out yet..... Beans solution may be fact but it does not apply to me!

[eXistenZ]

it is an old problem I think yours is different can you explain ?
