Server was running flawlessly on Alpha 17.1, went to play today and got the version mismatch message and so I updated the server using the steam command. I then added the new config options and removed the old ones per the notes on the update. Now the server wont start and just outputs this when I put in the status command...

 
Linux Dedicated, Alpha 17.2 update, Server no longer starts

I updated the server per the management scripts that I used to install the server using the command

Code: 
sudo 7dtd.sh updateengine --force --stable
updated the config with the new options and removed the old ones per the update notes

Now the server wont run at all.

I've even tried experimental and nothing.

when I launch it from the scripts it says it started but then if I run the status command it says not running. No info in logs at all.

I also took out all the new options and replaced the old ones trying to get it to run and do something. Right after the update and upon running the start command it would output nonsense like this

Code: 
/home/sdtd/instances/Caprica/config.xml:62.40: attributes construct error
 <property name="XPMultiplier” value="100"/>
                                        ^

I think there is something wrong with your double quotation characters, one of them is different:

<property name="XPMultiplier” value="100"

I had this problem when copying the new settings from MadMoles Post that the double quotatien marks were wrong/differed in encoding/whatever :)

Good luck!

This is correct. No clue why they put such bad code in the patch notes.

Well see its funny because I actually noticed that last night right before I posted the config file and I must have missed one but I swear it still threw out a list of all the new commands and the three errors each one created. Idk...during this message I have putty up with the config in nano, I'm about to sit here and literally type out each one by hand in case the font is trying to copy over with those weird quotation marks and just keeping it messed up. Might even have to delete and remake the config file...idk...I will inform on my results.

I dont know but obviously they goofed on the notes, I cant be the only one that has had this issue by copying it over line by line.

 
omg. That was a stupid reason the server wasn't working. A F'ing quatation mark? lmao well thanks guys, it seems to be working fine now. Only thing I noticed that I figure I'll ask about is this while it was loading up...

2019-03-05T00:02:33 58.122 WRN Loaded world file from different version: 'Alpha 17.1 (b9)'

Is this going to be an issue later on, like the update from 16 to 17 where you had to start over?

No, that shouldn't be an issue. a17.1 saves are compatible with 17.2.
