I am trying to whitelist myself to the server (why must you do this? it should know you're the host and automatically add you) and can't for the life of me get it to work. It says there's no user with the uid "KaiseiDeer" and I tried adding myself with whitelisting on, with it off and even edited the playerswhitelisted.json file to add myself and it still says there's no user with my name and I typed it in twice maybe three times making sure the spacing, capitalization and spelling was correct. Also I tried joining the server but it still says I'm not whitelisted. It's a no go and I want to get a server working for a friend and this is my test for that.
I also followed this discussion.
