when i host a server and start the game it pops up the debug console and if you press the x to close it, it sends you to the menu. it also says some line of text in the debug console

Warning: Tried to restore enabled packages multiple times / without performing a backup

even when turning off all mods, it still doesnt work.

you don't have client side lua.

1. install lua for barotrauma mod (you probably already did this)
2. host a server
3. press f3 and type in "install_cl_lua"
4. restart game

thank you.

hold on it says command not found

nvm

having this same problem. Cslua is updated, red text in the top left corner, i tried hosting both with and without the lua executable, stripping down the mod list, nothing.
