Problem Description

Issue

I have installed multiple mods and ran the Update to install them all. I then go to Start the server and the only thing that is in Console is ‘cmd’ but never updates with anything else.

Also, I have looked in every log file that I could find and there is nothing stating there is an error or issue with a mod.

UPDATE: If I remove the mod ID’s from Load Mods and delete the list from Update then click Start then I get a bit more in the Console as seen in the below screenshot.

Reproduction Steps

• Create a new DayZ server
• Configure it and add the list of mods to Load Mods
• Go to Updates and add the same mod ID’s there
• Update the game to install mods
• Click Start

Did you follow the guide? DayZ Server Guide

[Cupara]

Yes I did. Same issue even after that.

Could still be a configuration issue. You will have to show your mod settings to verify

[Cupara]

That’s fine, what do you need to see and I’ll gladly post it here for you to view.

Something else, I removed the entire list of mod ID’s from Updates and then tried starting the server and I get messages in Console that is cmd followed by powershell on a new line.

The mod-related settings - Steam Workshop items, Load Mods etc

Settings for mods look fine, as far as I can tell. Have you checked that all mods are downloaded when the server is updated? No timeouts? Also check that all the symlinks are created OK in the base directory

[Cupara]

I can confirm they are not being downloaded to the directory steamapp/workshop/content/221100 so I can positively say the symlinks are not being created. They are downloading the mods directory to the base directory where the DayZServer_x64.exe is located. I assume that is a problem?

[Greelan]

Steamcmd does not download directly to the base directory.

[Cupara]

Ok I was wrong, it did download them to steamapps/workshop/content/221100 don’t know what I was thinking or where I was looking but I took a second look and they are there.

Anyway, yes it downloaded all of the mods when the server updated, no timeouts either.
