It's most likely due to an update. We'll have to wait for a fix from the developer and hope that not everything is seriously broken there.

it works for me and other users, no idea what's going on for you

worked for me

Same thing, did everything as stated but no one can connect

@Fort_Thread Starvation try to host lua dedicated server by running it's executable (run 'cmd' in game directory, then launch from console lua dedicated server executable), if it launches then you can connect to it either IP (127.0.0.1 or localhost) from the game and install it that way.

Alright, I'll try that when I have the time, I'll update the post later

Turns out I'm still unsure on what/how to do on the parts you've said, so perhaps I need a Simpler procedure or dumb it down a bit maybe I could understand it more.

In any case. New update on my attempts now it Crashes the game with the following log :

Update again : I just solved it by just downloading the Lua by manually, turns out it's not hard as it seems. Just followed the "Using Lua from Scratch" and it's just simple as copy "this" and place "there" (Using the highlihgted text Use the latest-version of Lua for Barotrauma).

I have a definitive similar issue with Lua installation process.

For some reason or another, after hosting a multiplayer server and entering "install_cl_lua" key prompt command, it gives a brief pause for about 10 to 15 seconds before giving feedback, then prompts that there is a missing package or something.

Basically, it isn't finding what it is supposed to and my Single Player Campaign is "Lualess." It doesn't appear to be installing client-side at all.


*(Side Note)* ~~~ I will disable the "Aliens (Xenomorphs, neomorphs, etc)" mod and test if the Lua will install without it being active. ~~~
