@Geez majority of modded servers aren't able to be joined because of this error screen

Further information: It appears to be caused by folder names having to directly match mod names. Some mod names have characters that Windows cannot use in mod names

----this comes via the server console.log

I am a server owner, and not only do I see the screen you have posted, this is what pops up when people cannot connect.

I do not believe it is due to NOT having mods updated, I have all of mine updated and have not been able to get in since update to 1.12

Its to do with the mod name from the workshop and the folder name on the server AND the players PC all needing to be the same.

Which is insane the amount of problems it's going to cause. Steam doesn't update folder names so it'll just cause constant problems

I've already helped many servers work around the problem, doesn't mean it isn't a problem

So I'm going to start bumping this with user feedback when I have time and when I see it
