This server requires authentication from central servers

Description of issue

Anyone that attempts to join the server be it a local or public connection will immediately be kicked with the message: "This server requires authentication from central servers"

This usually means that the server is either in offline mode or has some authentication configs misconfigured.

Solution

Set the following configs in config_gameplay to the corresponding values:

preauth_challenge true
online_mode true

Notes

  • You can find templates for the configs in the same directory LocalAdmin.exe is located in under the ConfigTemplates folder. Do not modify these!

I still have issues!
