Fix invalid JSON in a RAGE Multiplayer server configuration

RAGE Multiplayer uses conf.json. A missing comma, an extra comma at the end of an object or an unescaped quote can stop the server from reading otherwise valid settings.

conf.json

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and download the working conf.json.
  2. Make one intended change in Files, keeping quoted property names and valid JSON syntax.
  3. Use Startup for Server Name because the template writes that managed value into the file.
  4. Keep the bind address, allocated port and resource directories unchanged during the test.
  5. Start and inspect the first configuration or resource error before joining.

Check the result

If parsing fails, restore the saved file and repeat the edit. Use the project’s config reference for additional keys; configuration from another GTA multiplayer platform is not compatible.
