User story

Eco v11+ now require authentification to Strange Cloud to be able to start

Game

eco

Linux distro

RedHat 9

Command

command: start

Further information

When starting an Eco v11 server, the game fail to do so, due to changes on requirements:

You now need to setup (in ../lgsm/config-lgsm/ecoserver/ecoserver.cfg )
startparameters="-nogui -userToken=""

You can generate the token from https://play.eco/account

Other options are available, but usertoken seems to be the safest.

This should be at least indicated on https://linuxgsm.com/servers/ecoserver/#v-pills-install

Relevant log output

Failed to start the server. Exception was Exception: Exception
Message:Authentication to Strange Cloud failed. No authentication methods were available. Provide valid credentials ('-username' and '-password' or '-userToken' or '-steamTicket') or use '-offline' to start server in offline mode.
Source:EcoServer
System.Exception: Authentication to Strange Cloud failed. No authentication methods were available. Provide valid credentials ('-username' and '-password' or '-userToken' or '-steamTicket') or use '-offline' to start server in offline mode.
at Eco.Server.StrangeCloudLogin.Initialize()
at Eco.Server.PluginManager.InitializeAsync(StartupInfo startupInfo)
at Eco.Server.Startup.StartAsync(StartupInfo startupInfo)

Steps to reproduce

Install Eco with current lgsm setup guide
Start the game
Look at the log/console/ecoserver-console.log logfile

Can anyone please post the work around while this fix is backlogged?
I see the line that needs to be added, above, but I am not sure where that would need to be added.
Thank you :)
