Where are you moving zone.exe, world.exe, etc from and where do you move them to after you compile ("clicking on build" and watching a lot happen on visual studio.) What are the dates on the executables (zone.exe, world.exe, etc) in your server folder?

I suspect the answers to these questions will solve the mystery.

Hmm I haven't moved the zone or world files anywhere ... where are the news ones placed when I update?

The ones in my server folder are dated 1/3/2015... I found the updated ones and I bet that was the issue... I didnt place the new executables in the server folder .. silly mistake thanks everyone

It's always the little things. Glad you figured it out. Hope it works.
