@Andre Aquila <Aquila Industrial> LOVE your work and when i had a dedicated server i had no problems but this time around with a hosted server i keep getting this. For what its worth this most recent time i am only useing your mods as they worked flawless in the past. It is not only happening with the server side but also on my local install

Your profile's lockfile has somehow became corrupted. Delete the something-lock.json file with your profile's name from your game install directory. -# Rule logic: https://regex101.com/r/qVEqAj/ -# Responding to failedparsinglockfile triggered by @McCovican

Yeah thats my install location whats up? Can you not run mods on any drive but c? Thats seems incredibly inefficient.
