Tips and Tricks: Migrating Dedicated Server 7.2.2 to 7.2.3

Hello Folks.
As you know there were huge problems with the patch 7.2.0 up to 7.2.2. Before we start: Make sure to do Backups!

Possible solution for steam based dedicated servers and these errors:
 * https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoIssues/issues/5640
 * ~Random "can not load my map" errors
 * ~Random class errors after 7.2 updates

The update with Steambased Server were a bit difficult from 7.2.2 to 7.2.3.

Here is one solution what worked for many dedicated server owner:


 * 1) Do a complete backup for your "steamapps\common\Eco\Eco_Data\Server" folder.
 * 2) Locate "steamapps\common\Eco\Eco_Data\Server" on your private pc eg. your server
 * 3) Delete everything within that folder except for "Storage\Backups"
 * 4) Right-click Eco within the steam game browser and hit "properties"
 * 5) Make sure u have choosen "No Beta" under the "Beta" Tab.
 * 6) Wait a few minutes till steam repaired/updated eco
 * 7) Now copy all files from "steamapps\common\Eco\Eco_Data\Server" over your server folder
 * 8) Test-Run your server without backup world
 * 9) If the test was succesfull you can take your backup from "\Eco\Eco_Data\Server\Storage\Backup\Game-YEAR-MONTH-DAY-HH.MM.SS" and copy it into your "\Eco\Eco_Data\Server\Storage" folder. Make sure to overwrite correctly.
 * 10) Test-Run your server and revert all your settings.

Note: Make sure to backup first!

Sometimes..
 * user needed to open game.eco with zip/rar. There is a "version" file within the game.eco. In this file you rename "2,2" to "2.2".


 * Steam won't update the broken server folder correctly. If that happens you need to reinstall the complete game in order to get the updated server files.


 * it is good to ask someone for help in eco discord #support

Sorry for bad english. I hope it helps to fix your servers! greets~ Favilla
