Can't join dedicated server after 1.25 update
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

Hello,

I know it's not a PC bug but don't know where to submit this issue.
Please accept my appologies for posting this here.

After the 1.25 update we couldn't join our dedicated server anymore.

We're running under GNU/Linux (Rocky Linux 9) but some searches on the Internet showed we were not the only ones, and that same issue happened under Windows.
Cf. https://steamcommunity.com/app/221100/discussions/0/4333104908736681387/

I've then notice this in the journalctl:
"Mission script has no main function, player connect will stay disabled!"

That took me to those threads:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1d37x6c/server_125_mission_script_has_no_main_function/

After reading those I've then checked and realized mpmissions folder was empty.

Tried a fresh install of the server, no mpmissions folder at all.

Then I remembered that, even though it's recommended to use a dedicated Steam account to install server with steamcmd, you do need a account that owns the game to install mods.
So i tried to run the update with my own player account, which owns the game of course, and everything is back in the mpmissions directory and we can join our server again.

Regards,
