[1.205.023 b1] Server Bug causes NUL after a random save.
Frequent enough issue every few weeks/months that at random my sandbox_config file will corrupt and the world will no longer load anymore.
I honestly couldn't tell you how to reproduce it, just let the world run for a while, people joined here and there, but other than that, it was mostly an idle world.
you may have to let it run for a few minutes, may have to let it run a few weeks or even a month or more... it's seemingly a random occurrence.
However, i did figure out that it occurred during a save, and right after that, the entire save turned NUL.
save 2024-08-19 105111 is the unaffected save. This should load up fine.
2024-08-19 110111 is the save where the sandbox_config was overwritten and turned into NUL and will not load. they are 9 minutes apart as far as the backup goes.
I included the log file, you can go to the very end of the log to see the NUL error out. after this happens, the NUL takes over the sandbox_config and causes the world not to load and boot loop repeatedly.
This could be an edge-case, but I have seen a few others say they have similar issues with NUL overwriting configs.
