A Persistent world is designed to run with a specific set of files which they will provide for you to play with. Having the wrong files can cause issues when you play, especially with files in your override or ui directories. The first time you play on a given world you should remove ALL such files. It is recommended that the first time you join a world that you inspect these folders for files you downloaded from the vault, or ones that happen to have been put there by other persistent worlds. If you've used other worlds that use an installer such as WorldGate, Audolo, or something else there is a good chance something is in your folder you do not know about.

  • A Persistent world is designed to run with a specific set of files which they will provide for you to play with. Having the wrong files can cause issues when you play, especially with files in your override or ui directories. The first time you play on a given world you should remove ALL such files. It is recommended that the first time you join a world that you inspect these folders for files you downloaded from the vault, or ones that happen to have been put there by other persistent worlds. If you've used other worlds that use an installer such as WorldGate, Audolo, or something else there is a good chance something is in your folder you do not know about. Some worlds use do this for good reason, custom classes, gods, and races all require that you do this. And this issue was not really understood to be a problem until recently. Some are campaigning for override free servers, which is really impossible for these worlds at this point. To do so would require a server wipe of all their characters, removal of features that are integral to their worlds, and for the most part starting over. However these worlds should work to minimize the issue by analyzing which files can go in hak's, and only putting the bare minimum files into the players override folder. Care should be taken because files that work for players, do not work when in the toolset, which can lead admins to think they need to be in the override when they do not. The interesting thing is that players who use content from the vault are not the cause of problems in this regard. These players see the notice that overrides should be removed, and because they downloaded said files themselves, they know enough to remove them, themselves. However those who play on persistent worlds tend to use an automated installer. These players don't know where the files actually went, so they assume they have no files that are a problem, and it is only after the issue is troubleshot by the PW admin who is dealing with the problem, do the files show up. Therefore i recommend that all Persistent World's install files for the override to the desktop, and have the player manually move them to their override folder. This will cause some players problems who cannot handle this, but by the same token these are the same players who cannot handle removing them, and it keeps your decision to use overrides to being your problem. Once the files are in the override folder it is fine for the installer to update all the files specific to your server in the given folder.
