User using custom content is blocking people from downloading mission file

[USteppin 2]

Hello, I have a user on my server right now that I guess is using some type of custom content that is causing all new users that are connecting to the server to be stuck on the "Receiving Data..." screen. All the users that were currently on the server also got the error but they were just able to hit close and continue playing, this is only effecting users that are connecting. The error is: "No entry 'config.bin/CfgWeapons.U_PMC_CombatUniformRS_BSGPSB'."

Anyone know if there is a way to fix this or stop allowing people to use such content that is completely breaking my server?

Screenshot 1 shows the error, you hit close and then the user is getting stuck at Screenshot 2

Screenshot 2, user just gets stuck here and nothing will download

Are you sure its not the mission?

[USteppin 2]

100% positive it's not the mission. We've played it every night for 2 weeks now without problems. A user connected, that screen popped up for all the users currently playing in the game, I then tried joining the server and got the error and was stuck in the lobby.

then a faulty addon seems the problem

solution: verifySignatures = 2; and add keys for addons you want to allow on your server

Cool, will research that function, thank you.

if you are running the dev patch, maybe the patch broke the mission, thats pretty common

No we are running the public version, using no addons. I've restarted the server and added verifySignatures = 2 now so we'll see if the problem persists.

Just so I know in the future.. how would I go about finding which player was using that mod and causing this problem? Would it show up in a log file somewhere so I could verify and kick them?

basically no (it can be done with some higher level scripting)

with verifysignatures noone with any mod that isn't allowed by server ( bikey in /keys directory ) will join so don't worry about that
