I'd like to report an issue affecting Project Zomboid dedicated servers managed through LinuxGSM. The server's library needs to be updated to resolve Steam mod authentication failures.steamclient.so
Problem:
Project Zomboid servers are experiencing issues with Steam workshop mod authentication, causing mods to fail loading or authenticate properly. This appears to be due to an outdated library.steamclient.so
