If you are encountering a different workshop item version of the server error in Project Zomboid, you are not alone. This workshop error is common when Project Zomboid receives an update or mods become outdated.
To fix workshop item version is different from server error, you need to update your mods or remove them. Begin by locating and deleting the following folder called 108600.
- Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent108600
After deleting the above folder, find and delete a file called appworkshop_108600.acf. You can find this file in the Steam Workshop folder itself.
Restart steam once the acf file is deleted and let the mods redownload. Following these steps will allow players to join servers after mods are updated, but there are a few additional steps if you are hosting the server.
