Firedragon 49 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) The reason is, there is a huge Bug that prevents users from connecting to private hosted atlas servers. How or why? To add the mod, you put the MODid to your ServerGrid.json The server downloads the mod when ShooterGameServer.exe starts up (version XYZ, the current version of the mod(s) from steam) The client / player connects to the private hosted atlas server The client downloads the CURRENT version from steam Here comes the problem, IF between the time when the server downloaded the mod(s) and the user tries to connect the owner of the mod decided to update, we have two different versions of the mod running on server vs client. >>>> ERROR: Make sure the server uses the actual version of the installed mods or contact... There is NO way that this will work! There are communities with 100 players and above. A few modders update their mod 5 times per hour, the only choice is currently to remove ALL mods to play and no wait. Not all players know the hoster of the atlas server It makes no sense to reboot the server 100 times per day just because one decided to update their mod Removal of mods can have HUGE side effects depending on what it does deliver Having steam deliver the CURRENT version is a problem if the version prevents from connecting to the server I guess there is no way to have atlas server auto download and activate the newest version of the mod itself without disconnecting all players and or rebooting it. The best choice is to have ALL clients to download the same version the server currently uses, either from steam (backlog version) or from the server itself!!! If there is a need to update the mod (bcuz of bugfixes or adding features), the better choice is to reboot atlas server at a given time or when the used manager fetches the next atlas update. When the next client connects after this, it can download the newer version of the installed mod like explained above!

Dayneh 0 Posted August 19, 2019 I think the best choice is to have the server to quit downloading the mods everytime I server starts and only download the mod whenever you completely shut down the server cuz right now if you go into another Zone and three other server startup it downloads all the mods mods again even if they're updated or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
