    It all hangs on importing the prefabs. for some reason it can't import the epd files.

    Never tested on a W2k16 Server before. Maybe no read access for epd? Try to start it as administrator.

    Did you switch to 6.0 on top first, then you should get the option DropDown "Drop Behaviour" "always/threshold" in asteroid resources.

    there's literally not even a prefabs option in the config file. when i add one to it, it deletes it. the prefabs folder is right where it needs to be...

    No because it assumes the prefabs lie directly in the content folder, you cannot choose the prefabs path (for now)

    well the path is

    C:\empsrvr\Content\Prefabs

    and I set the default folder to C:\empsrvr\

    so I'm open to ideas. I should have known I'd be the one person this doesn't work for :( I am the walking embodiment of Murphy's Law

    As soon as I hit select folder to select "C:\empsrvr\", it gives me Error importing prefabs

    Might just be a read access error? try the normal steam folders and see if it works. If it works there its a access problem

    that souldn't be the issue, i'm working on a network share, because my server is in another room, Win 10 Pro though, empyrion dedicated is installed in c:\GameServer\Emyprion - Dedicated\ and epd is on my workstation here. So even over network in c:\ or whatever it should't be an issue at all.

    Yeah, I wasn't entertaining that as a possible option. It's able to pick up the content folder when I hit import content folder, but it throws the prefab error when I try to load prefabs, and the sql error when i hit edit on the drone base for a playfield. I haven't tested what other buttons cause the error, but I don't have time for this right now. I've got users going nuts for me to update, and spending hours working on something that should save me hours doesn't work right now. I'll mess with this later, as I'd really like to see it working. It looks like the answer to my prayers.

    See attached.

    Happens if I run normal or as admin. Have tried setting various compatibility options as well.

    yeah, i think i found it.

    you don't have a scenarios folder in your Content folder. I'm guessing this isn't a 6.0 server then?

    EPD assumes a scenarios folder as well, because there are also some prefabs in there.

    Will fix this right away, so that it works without scenarios.

    it is a 6.0 server, but we don't use scenarios. Easy enough fix, m8. thanks.
