If joining fails
Both server_packages.sii and server_packages.dat are required in .local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2. A packages-not-found message needs an export from the game; reinstalling the server tool does not create that custom export.
- Open Console and wait for the game or world to finish loading. Save the first error if startup stops.
- Use the joining method above with one client on the matching game version and required content.
- If entry is rejected, compare the exact error with the password, edition, map or authentication checks above. Keep the working save while testing.
