Dedicated server freezes on login

Hello im having an issue equal this this post, Server Freezes .

I tried this:

1-running on two machines,

2-run it clean 3 times on linux and windows.

3-put mods, removed mods

Idk how to fix it. Here is the log on linux. https://pastes.io/serverlog

For now i only found this issue with a modded version, this happens a few hours after playing. When it happens sometimes i can spawn but i cant interact with anything. I tried with many different mods. The unmodded version of  the game had no issues that i noticed, but im sick of playing vannilla.

Im almost certain it has to do with the profiles, but theres no error, the only hint is sometimes in the log when i try to enter or exit the UID shows -1

For starters, read your log...

2025-02-18T13:16:30 0.065 WRN The open files limit is too low (1024) and may cause crashes. Recommended is at least 10240. Follow these steps to increment it:
- Open /etc/security/limits.conf with a text editor: 'sudo editor /etc/security/limits.conf'
- Add or update the line: 'max soft nofile 10240'
- Save the file and exit the editor
- Apply the changes: Log out and back in or restart the system


This is covered in the Pinned support FAQ as well. Not configuring this will cause the server to freeze or crash.

Server only just meets min spec. You don't have the overhead for extra mods. Sure it's a "modern" CPU, but it only has six usable cores. It looks like this is probably running in a VM since only four are seen. If you did not assign the VM four primary physical Performance cores. Not a hyperthreaded core, or any of the completely useless eight E-Cores that CPU has, you will have issues. Also note that min spec is 8GB RAM, and you barely have that assigned to the VM. If you add mods, especially an overhaul mod, you need to add RAM. 12GB would be the suggested minimum. That would appear as 12288 MB. 8GB is 8192 MB, and you have assigned 7941 MB.

I will also note that Unity requires 8GB Swap. Default when configuring Ubuntu is 2GB. Not allocating the proper amount of Swap will cause the server to error and crash.

Mod is installed incorrectly. It is loading from the appdata folder before the other required mods are loaded. So basically you are putting the chicken before the egg. Mod is incapable of running properly when it is loaded before the framework for the mod is loaded.

Put all of the mods into the Mods folder for the dedi client. Harmony needs to be loading first, and with your current setup it does not do that.

im sorry i forgot to put the windows log, my machine has 32gb of ram. here is the windows log, i had to use the task manager to kill the 7d2d server https://pastes.io/output-log-dedi

 
Did what you suggested, but even with mods on \steamcmd\7d2d\Mods , now i was able to enter but could not interact with nothing, the only difference was some warnings from litenetlib and had to kill the server from the task manager, could not performe a shutdown. Here is the log of that https://pastes.io/output-log-dedi-1

Thx for trying to help me out


Mods installed on the clients? It could be a firewall/antivirus/router firewall issue too, the install folder and save folder need exclusions.
