Originally created by @Shebuka on GitHub (Mar 15, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3376

User Story

The new version of LinuxGSM added -savedir parameter to vhserver that is causing the game to not recognize the current savedir and points to a completely different location.

Basic info

Distro: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Game: Valheim
Command: start
LinuxGSM version: v21.2.1

Further Information

May be caused by the fact that the -savedir parameter is escaped by ' (single apostrophe).
#3266 and #3370 may be the ones to look at

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Update to v21.2.1
Start server
Enter the game and observe that it's a completely new world
Find that you now have /home/vhserver/serverfiles/'/home/vhserver/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim' folder (folder named ' and folder named Valheim')

Expected behaviour

That it point to correct location

Had this same issue. The -savedir should not have singlequotes.

I have put a temporary commit into master to hopefully resolve the issue until I can get home. Just update LinuxGSM

Please can someone test and let me know.

many valheim lgsm dedicated servers are offline due to auto-updates from this change, i'm trying to figure out a workaround to bring it back online with least impact. any advise from people also encountering this?

remove the quotes or -savedir from parameters.

I have done a temporary commit to try and fix it until I get home in a few hours.

so run

./vhserver update-lgsm

and that may also help

For now I've opened the common.cfg of my server (in ~/lgsm/config-lgsm/vhserver) and added startparameters="-name '${servername}' -password ${serverpassword} -port ${port} -world ${gameworld} -public ${public}".

Can't test the fix as there are people on the server right now.

Doesn't seem fixed. _default.cfg still includes single quotes: -savedir '${savedir}'

@Alvar195 The quotes are needed for paths with spaces in them. The fix is not to remove quotes.
