Hello,
I just stood up a new 7 Days dedicated server and am running into an error that I've never seen before. When the client attempts to connect everything gets to the EAC verification and the EAC verification completes successfully (as you can see from the server logs), but then the game client just crashes to desktop. Judging from the error message in the server logs "Client logged in but sent unencrypted message, dropping!" it looks like the game client isn't SSL encryption is packets with the server and the server doesn't like this. Only problem is going through all the game options and additional parameters that can be passed at run time for the game client I see nothing about enabling encryption.
Is there a way to force encryption on the client or is this problem as simple as the Game Server and Game Client version don't match?

Edit:
Just as an update I've verified both server and client versions, both are Alpha 20.5. I was hoping the problem would be something that simple, but guess not.
Thanks,
