Dedicated Server Reboot Loop (RESOLVED)
Every time I attempt to add the mod, the server goes into a reboot loop. I am using MES, Imber, Parallax, No Lightning Damage.

I am not sure where I might find more crash data, but I pulled the SPaceEngineersDedicated Log. I have included an excerpt:

OK, FYI I finally figure this one out and it was not related to the mod, it was related to Dedicated Server64 not updating the steam files correctly so the mods could be downloaded.

The discussion is here: https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/24978-1-201-013-dedicated-server-unable-to-download-some-mods

Basically SE is not copying the following files into the the right place:

steamclient.dll

steamclient64.dll

tier0_s.dll

tier0_s64.dll

vstdlib_s.dll

vstdlib_s64.dll

When the files are updated it just copies those files into the root of the dedicated server folder (that would be the install path you chose for SteanCMD to install SE Dedicated Server).

You need to copy those files to the sub-folder DedicatedServer64. Once you do that and start your server, it will update mods correctly.

oh yeah, the famous one nevcairiel and i provided the fix for, and Keen refuses to incorporate. these dll files were last updated by valve on 7/28/2022.

Sorry about letting this linger, but this was the first chance I really had to research the issue. I would not have been able to resolve it without that post you guys had on Keen as I was no where near familiar with the backed of how mods were downloaded.
