Local Server Mod Selection Mismatch

Conan Exiles PC Discussion
1

I have setup a local dedicated server and been playing with this arrangement for several days. Now all of a sudden, I am getting the message “Your current mod selection does not match the server’s mod selection”. Nothing I have done so far gets rid of the error message. I have:

  1. Rebooted multiple times, often after one or more of the actions listed below.
  2. Verified the integrity of the Steam client game files. Once verified, the pak files were copied to the dedicated server’s workshop folder.
  3. Deleted all of the Steam client mods, verified, and copy to the Dedicated server’s workshop folder.
  4. Delete all the mods in the dedicated server’s workshop folder, start the server, once the mods have been downloaded, copy the server’s pak files to the Steam client Workshop folder. All mods in the client and server Workshop folders had the same size and timestamp, but I copied over them anyway.
  5. After each of these I started a single player game, all mods appeared to have loaded just fine.
  6. Unsubscribed and resubscribed to each and every mod.
  7. Deleted all mods from client and server. Let the Dedicated Server Launcher update the server mods and the Steam client update the client mods.
  8. Deleted all mods from client and server. Let the Dedicated Server Launcher update the server mods. Copied the server mods to the client.

This is getting very tedious.

Pay extra attention to the order of the mods and that there aren’t any duplicates etc.
The mod list of the server and the client need to be identical, so the same order, same number of entries etc.

Otherwise if you’re using the exact same pak files and the same order, then you will be able to connect.

Also make sure to actually compare the modlists, not any graphical UI representation of them…
So the file you want to look at is ConanSandbox\Mods\modlist.txt both on the client and the server.

Thanks Xevyr. I did that initially, but will do so again. Will have an update here in a bit.

That did it. That’s strange because I was only playing on the local server, so I’m not sure the order could have gotten out of sync.

Thanks again.

You’ve tried everything I would have done, except one thing.

Unsub from all mods in steam.
Restart steam,
Launch game let steam reinstall mods client side, by reading the server mod list.

I don’t know if this will work, but it has for me in the past.
Good luck.
