Profile Validation

The validation only concentrates on the map and mods and is only run using the validate button or on a manual server start. I have tried to make it as simple and fast as possible while hitting the most common problem areas.

Validation steps performed as are follows

Error - Server files have not been downloaded, server folder does not exist.
ii. Check if the server executable exists (ShooterGameServer.exe)
Error - Server files have not been downloaded properly, server executable file (ShooterGameServer.exe) does not exist.
iii. Check the server APPID (SE = 346110, SotF = 407530)
Error - The server files are for a different Ark application.

iv. Check if the map mod's map name matches the Map Name.
