Problem Description: When adding a to the Welcome Message in Project Zomboid instance > Configuration > PZ Server Settings only the first line of text before populates in the servertest.ini welcome message section after instance restart.

Alright, let’s see what’s happening with that welcome message in Project Zomboid!

So you’re adding text to the “PZ Server Settings” and it’s only showing up till the first line break after a restart. Looks like a line break issue might be messing with your setup here. Let’s try trimming those custom line breaks (<LINE>) and use the standard newline format (a plain old “Enter” or \n) in the game settings:

  1. Head into the AMP web interface.
  2. Enter the “PZ Server Settings” configuration.
  3. Replace <LINE> with a direct press of the “Enter” key for each new line.
  4. Save your settings.
  5. Restart your instance again.

Sometimes it just comes down to weird formatting! If the issue still persists, let me know, and we can dig deeper!

Solution. works as intended. The issue is that I was putting in carriage returns in the Welcome Message text box which I should not do. All text should be a single line but with where you want your carriage returns to appear in game.

PZ Server Settings Welcome Message example:

Survive together on Discord: https://discord.gg/4BYWnYGxCf<LINE>Safehouses can respawn you but can be looted.<LINE>Can recover some skill points if you craft a skill journal, keep it updated, and read it after respawn. Keep it safe! Time fast forwards if everyone sleeps.<LINE>PvP enabled

FYI there are several instances where I was trying to type

<LINE>

but it does not seem to appear in my replies. Hope this helps!
