"In the installation directory for the dedicated server, you'll have a steamapps folder. Just delete it, as it only contains mod info, including Steam's manifest. If there's an issue with the manifest updating (or it thinks its already updated), the game won't download the mods.
It should then work the next time you start the server."


For hosted servers
go into steam and into the game's properties, browse local files, inside the PZ folder, delete the entire steamapps folder.

Many thanks, I am going to try just that.

hi, has this been found out to work? im having the same error and i tried doing what you said, but it still shows the error

@bacon I am looking at the error myself and am trying to find a end-all solution to understand what is going on. I am going to need some time though, so be patient.

@authentic peach, i think i have figured it out. i tried the solution that was recently commented on the discussion thread you linked above.

basically what I did was copy the 2335368829 folder (authentic z mod folder) from
"...\steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600"

and pasted it to "...\Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\steamapps\workshop\content\108600"

and replaced the folder in there, seems to work now

@authentic peach

it worked! the solution i did above seems to work fine now!

True that @bacon's solution worked for me too. GJ tho :)

The solution Authentic Peach proposed also worked. So now we know of 2 methods!

Can you add " [FIXED"] to the title of this discussion so people know?

This didnt help me at all.
