zzzomboid

I asked support and they pointed out that I was trying to add the line to the wrong config file. To change the server language, the line language=EN should be added to the file "server/Zomboid/options.ini". In this case I had to change an existing "language=FR" line that was put in there by default. Putting the line in the correct file and rebooting the server worked like a charm. (Not sure if restarting is strictly necessary, just mentioning it in case just changing the file doesn't work for others.)

So what was the solution? Did you have to ticket for it? I tried adding the language=EN to the ServerPZ.ini but no dice.

So on a whim last night I picked up a zomboid server package from Citadel Servers and got it working OK until I decided to install some mods. The server ran fine after I updated the config, but I wasn't seeing any of the items from the mods so I figured it might need a soft reset. I followed the process here (requires login), and after that the server got stuck in this state: Error - Try updating your server I tried doing a Steam update (is that even what this message means?) and doing a full reinstall but it's still stuck in that "Error" state. Tried opening a ticket a few hours ago, no reply. Tried the live chat but they don't do support, only sales, and won't give me a ballpark estimate of how long it takes for a ticket to get answered. Really frustrated right now, I was excited for this little project but now I'm just stuck. If anyone could answer any of the following questions it would be of some help: Has anyone else ever run into this problem using Citadel Servers? Did you manage to fix it yourself and if so how? Can anyone else using Citadel Servers give me a wild guess at how long it takes for a ticket to get answered? A couple days? A week? I'm kind of nervous about this because it means that (in some wild fantasy land) if people actually started using this server it seems like it could go down for a long time and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Is Citadel Servers considered a "good"/reputable place to host a Zomboid servers? Are there better/other ones that people use? I basically picked a random one out of the forum post. Was that a bad idea? If I made a bad pick I'd rather cancel now and be out the $X I paid on it and switch to a better provider. OTOH if this is just a blip or my expectations are just too high, maybe I should wait it out? My only other experience with hosting providers have been webhosts, where a good one will typically fix the issue within an hour, so I don't really know what's normal for a gaming host. I am a total newbie at this and very lost. Any help appreciated lol. Thanks!
