getting the following error trying to start a freshly installed 7d2d v14.7 server.

serverconfig.xml keeps getting defaulted to “true”, but I think should be a numeric value based on the information below
<property name="EnemySpawnMode" value="true" />
<!-- 0 = Disabled 0%, 1 = Very Low 50%, 2 = Low 75%, 3 = Medium 100%, 4 = High 125%, 5 = Very High 150% -->
Steps to reproduce:
- Install 7D2D v14.7
- Try to start server
- Server fails to start
Actions taken to resolve so far:
attempted to modify the serverconfig.xml manually, but it keeps getting overridden.
