Help Anyone help " Illegal characters in path"

[Gezza]

Only way i can get the server to run is if i wipe all characters >.<

Just delete the archived character file that has invalid text as its name.

 

[Gezza]

Yeah i already deleted all the achieved files.

Make sure the server is off and closed, delete the archived player files. Then relaunch the server. That should fix it

Cheers, but the problem persists. I still get the same error message. I have attempted several times with the server exited.

You might need to delete your ADB file inside your server directory. Worth noting: In your server’s config Ini, edited the archive months to 999, it can be found at the bottom of the config file.

run the server in debug mode, add a breakpoint to the "saveArchivedCharacters" and when it hits that player - update the name to something sensible, then let it save as normal.

alternatively, just change the code slightly and add a try/catch around that code to skip over the saving when it errors.

I'm guessing the issue happens because character names like that have been allowed in code due to chinese character sets - but windows doesn't like saving a filename in the format.
