This is an issue with the "Silkroad.dat". The error is thrown when the Silkroad.dat is non-existent. Some servers tend to rename this file because its "cool". Try creating a file named "Silkload.dat". Yes. SilkLoad not SilkRoad. Maybe it works, maybe it got renamed.
Also make sure your path to the Silkroad folder is not longer than 256 - strlen("Silkload.dat") (= 243) characters. Because, as you can see in the code below, Silkroad only supports up to 256 characters in total.
Check address 0x00DD29B8 if you need to know which filename it is.
