Weird error on dedicated

[skippy0330]

so i run two dedicated, both the exact same seed ect. one server updated to 16.4 flawlessly. the other, not so much.

The second server refuses to start properly. I've even tried rolling back to an older save. I get this error in console:

2017-10-27T05:12:36 8.906 INF StartAsServer

Looks like you have a corrupted file.

No idea if you can fix the files by steam at your provider

 

[skippy0330]

it can't be corrupted. this is a backup of the file from two days ago, and just started happening on 16.4. it works on 16.3

Looks like the installation dont like the Electricity save file

Not sure which file this was , power.dat maybe

Maybe try to run it after you delete the file. (Should delete all wires)

 

[skippy0330]

oh dude! i was just thinking that. going to give that a run

 

[skippy0330]

update - that worked. didnt even lose wires either!

I'm so used to things being complicated and looking for the impossible that I did not even think that the error could be as literal as an issue with the actual power.dat file that was probably just sitting there mocking me

Thanks, you saved my bacon!

P.S. This issue was in Alpha 17.2 Stable release.
