Modified

No, I did not modify the egg

Expected Behavior

we expect the server to save the current status after a stop

Actual Behavior

Steps To Reproduce

Setp 1: Dayz egg install (https://github.com/pelican-eggs/games-steamcmd/blob/2db252b510589e256a2bf130e1e1f749ff4baa60/dayz/egg-pterodactyl-day-z.json) Step 2: restart the server

I have the same issue with pelican egg, i put all but nothing works..

Just got a potential lead on this issue. Give me some time to investigate.

So... turns out SteamCMD serves different server files for the same DayZ Server App ID depending on if the account used to sign in owns the game (a different App ID) or not. (insert the biggest facepalm ever here)

It appears that downloading it with an account that does not own the game yields a valid serverDZ.cfg template file, but does not provide the required ./mpmissions/ directory or mission files contained within it (this causes loot tables and persistence to not work). Downloading with an account that does own the game yields a valid and filled ./mpmissions/ directory, but also an empty serverDZ.cfg file with no default values in it. I am going to have to (begrudgingly) work on a revised install script that accounts for these two scenarios.

In the meantime, @Tetra2k, could you please manually create a ./mpmissions/ directory, download this official release of the mission files, place the folders dayzOffline.chernarusplus and (optionally) dayzOffline.enoch in the ./mpmissions/ directory, and test to see if persistence works.

hello, I have the same error and have already tried your last message. But unfortunately it didn't help, the error still comes after stopping the server.

as info I have an account with DayZ. I have exchanged all files in ./mpmissions/ folder with the officel release and my serverDZ.cfg file looks like this:
