Trouble integrating PlayFab C# SDK with DarkRift server

I've recently been learning how to develop a multiplayer game with an authoritative server outside of Unity, and using DarkRift has been quite easy so far. Now I want to have the server to connect to PlayFab, so I downloaded the C# SDK. My problem is that when I build "PlayFabServerSDK" into a .dll, add it to the server's plugins folder, and then run the server, I get the following error in the console:


[Error] Plugin E:\DarkRift Server\Plugins\PlayFabServerSDK.dll failed to load:
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
at System.Reflection.RuntimeModule.GetTypes(RuntimeModule module)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes()
at DarkRift.PluginManager.LoadPluginsFromFolder()

Our C# SDK is built using the Newtonsof.Json nuget package.

In your project, go to references, and click "Manage NuGet Packages..."
Browse
Find and install "Newtonsoft.Json"

Our project is set to use "v6.0.3", and the latest version is "v8.03".  So, this is pretty far out of date.  If you experience any problems using the newer version of Newtonsoft.Json, please let us know.

An extra note about importing a DLL:  You can use the dll, or you can copy the PlayFab Sdk source code into your project, whichever is easier for you.  Both should work, though the dll might be a little better for updating your PlayFab Sdk in the future.
