Strange errors on dedicated server

[BradM73]

Hi guys,

I'm running the current release version of the dedicated server software, and we've kept things up to date except for beta updates.

I'm currently running in to an odd error which has actually been going on for months, though it doesn't seem to affect the server.

Posted is an excerpt from the server.log file

We get the almost non-stop. "Error: Unable to open zip file C:/Users/thomas gamla dator/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2013/mods/FarmingSimulator2013.exe'

It doesn't seem to affect the server that I can tell. Everything seems to run normally, but I can't figure out what zip file the server is trying to open.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

There is a file in your mods folder, which is called FarmingSimulator2013.exe, and the game is trying to open it, get rid of it and problem solved..

[BradM73]

That was it! I swear I must have look exactly at that file a zillion times but was afraid to delete it. LoL. That seems to have done the trick!

Thanks for the help.

Glad I could help, .exe files arent supposed to be in the mods folder, so there is almost no chance something bad can happen when you delete them

[BradM73]

Yea, the person I share the server with must have done it. I only upload mods through the server website. No idea how that got there. lol.
