I usually play 7DTD in Steam offline mode. And I found today that this Epic Online Service is constantly flooding game console with its http requests. Of course, EOS can't reach its server from my offline PC but it is trying nevertheless. 2021-12-08T22:10:22 4110.137 WRN [EOS] [LogHttp - Warning] 0000017B9A35CD80: invalid HTTP response code received.

It seems this is the problem of Z2 mod. Its windows.xml contains links to the two online hosted textures. These two textures also are in the local mod's folder. But by default in mod's windows.xml the online path to the texture is active, not to the local asset. So, if you play Ravenhearst offline with no internet connection then you will get NRE red messages rain on the screen.

A little tip about obtaining ember: there is a lot of burning barrels on the roads in this mod 🙂
