Server doesn't boot after hotfix

[Darquinn]

Hey everyone. I am copying and pasting this here from another thread.

I strongly recommend that folks try this. It worked for us on our dedicated private server (1.7.9) and we have our 14 mods running now without issue.

@Testerle

• download a database tool for SQLite (e.g. DB Browser for SQLite => https://sqlitebrowser.org/)
• stop your server/game and download your game.db
• save a backup of this unmodified game.db in case you messed it up
• open it in the db browser
• go to the table actor_position
• sort by column class and search for entries that start with /Game/Mods/…
• delete all rows of old mods
• save the game.db
• upload it to your server/copy into your game and start again

That being said, when mods are deleted/unsubscribed, these rows really should be wiped clean from the DB file and they are not. This shouldn’t be a step that admins have to take.
