• Hot-fixed an issue preventing clients from joining servers. This issue is caused by servers running a very large number of mods. This issue prevents clients from joining servers by not counting mod dependencies toward the listed mod count. We have created a fix address this issue on heavily modded servers. If you have this issue, please take the following steps.

  1) Make a mod on the workshop. This can be an empty mod with no function.
  2) Add all (or part) of your server mod list as dependencies to this mod.
  3) Use this mod on your DS in place of the mods you added as dependencies.

  Players will not be able to use the advanced mod filter and will not see what mods your server needs in server details. They will, however, be able to join.
  If you still have this issue even after taking the above steps, check that your server description is not too long. Server descriptions should be 200 characters or less. We may add this limit to the server description field in the future.
