  Want me to post the compose settings also?

Now it fails to launch and I get this error

The container is working as expected for me and should have no issues. Are you sure that the JSON is not malformed or something like that?

What do you mean with a new repo?

Two things could be the cause:

• Malformed JSON
• Broken savegame

EDIT: Please keep in mind you have to stop the container/dedicated server first, then edit the config files and then start the container again, otherwise you can see such issues or your changes will be simply discarded.

Okay, in portainer it ask would you like to Re-pull image and redeploy I don't was just thinking repo that was my fault. But i had changed the server description and name so maybe that was causing an issue with the saved info I will delete the saved info and try again. also thank you for being so responsive!

It was something in the JSON.. Is it okay to update the ServerHostSettings.json once a server is made? or will that break the saved games? seems like it broke it to me but maybe I messed something up when doing so.

[ich777]

Ah, you edited the message, please always create a new message for visibility.

It is possible and saft to edit the files for a already set uo game server yes. Just keep in mind to edit it with the correct editor and not change the formatting, most of the times WordPad changes the formatting to Windows instead of Unix and this can cause such issues.

…and as said above please stop the container first, edit the files and then start the container again.

[ich777]

Is the issue now resolved or does it still give you issues?

[ich777]

@Staticvi any info on that?

[ich777]

Closing due to no further response.
