No longer able to join modded DayZ Server

Greetings !

Since yesterday i am running into an issue where i cant join any modded Server in DayZ. I am using the DZGUI external launcher because the native Launcher doesnt work on Linux. That has been working flawless until yesterday. Now i am getting a Data verification Error, missing PBO, basically the Sever telling my client that i dont have the required mods isntalled (as far as I understand it :sweat_smile: ).

What I tried already :
-reinstalled every Mod
-reinstalled DayZ
-switched Proton Versions
-reinstalled DZGUI
to no avail…

The last thing i did that could “possibly” have something to do with this was trying to create a docker container running steamcmd with a dayz Server on it. Once i was done fiddling around with it I wanted to join my regular Server and the PBO error occured. I thought that there might be a conflict with Steam as I started the cointainer with network=host (two instances on the same adress?)so i already removed the “System/container” from my authorized Devices to rule that out.

I am running Fedora 40, everything is updated.

I really dont know what else i could try so I would be really happy for basically ANY Input or Idea. :smiley:

Have you tried on a Windows machine to get a baseline of “is the server functioning correctly”?

Perhaps run it under strace and grep for what pbo it’s looking for that it can’t open

strace -f /path/to/app 2>&1 | grep .pbo

Thank you so much ! This def led to finding the Problem. The Game was searching in the wrong directory. I have no clue on why this would happen from one day to another but atleast its working again !

:pray:

@gnif provided the Linux command, which led @Kuvl0 to the cause of the issue: The Game was searching in the wrong directory. @Kuvl0 doesn’t know why the game would correctly search the correct directory one day and then search the wrong directory sometime in the future. I marked this thread as solved and made a post so that if anyone else has a similar issue, they know what to try.
