Title:
Server crashes when friend joins server
Launcher Version:
Friend's launcher is 1.4.11 and the launcher for both server machines is 1.4.11
Modpack:
Infinity Evolved
Modpack Version:
2.4.1
Log Link:
Details of the issue:
I have a server running on a dedicated linux machine which runs fine for most of my friends but when one particular friend tries to join, the entire server is taken down.

This started roughly when I transferred the world files from my home machine (where the server was previously located) to a dedicated linux server. I chose to download a copy of the server files for a higher version than the one which my home machine was already using (1.4.1 as opposed to 2.3.5).
I didn't want to lose any progress that we'd worked towards so I just copied over the files from my home server's "world" directory into the linux server's "world" directory. For this reason, the server had to remove a few items from the world to do with forestry. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.

I created an exact replica of the updated server on my home machine for him to try to connect to without taking the main server down and tried the following steps to no avail:
- Removing any files with his username in the title
- Wiping any files containing his username in human readable form. ( I don't know if his name is stored anywhere where it's not actually readable)
- Deleting his .dat file (it was last modified right after his "baub", "baubback", etc files were deleted)
- Deleting the world.dat file and renaming the world.dat_old to world.dat in case they were conflicting
I'm pretty tired right now so I might have missed some things that I tried but I'm pretty sure those are all I did.

If it helps to solve this, I checked his world\logisticspipes\names\username.info file and it basically just contains a bunch of [NUL]s as opposed to a few [NUL]s followed by a small string of characters (not nuls) and then more [NUL]s which everybody else' info files contain.

I asked my friend and he doesn't remember seeing any of the removed forestry items (I sent him a list of the removed item names (even if the names were pretty vague ^^)

Resolved. I found another file under world/logisticspipes which was also full of nulls. This likely belonged to my friend. I deleted it and he can now connect without breaking the server.
