The reason nobody has replied is that a search for the same error comes up with the solution.

ERROR_GEN_ZLIB_2 is related to having textures that are too big. So the ymap you load does contain big textures. (and zlib can’t compress them).

@Syntasu A friend of mine, Dracuslayer, was getting the issue on a clean server, and before this update, I never received this error once. I’ve been using 2048x2048 image quality since creating a server in July and never had this issue until the March 27th update.
