Hi guys. I've been having an issue for about 2 days now where my server settings are not changing when I adjust them. I always adjust both 'DefaultGameUserSettings.ini' and 'GameUserSettings' (this one is in 'CleanSourceConfigs' folder) so that they're identical but since I copy and pasted all of the settings from one file into the other it doesn't seem to be responding to any changes. Below is exactly what both files look like inside: [serverSettings] DifficultyOffset=2.000000 NewMaxStructuresInRange=2000.000000 DayCycleSpeedScale=1.000000 DayTimeSpeedScale=1.000000 NightTimeSpeedScale=2.000000 DinoDamageMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerDamageMultiplier=1.000000 StructureDamageMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerResistanceMultiplier=1.000000 DinoResistanceMultiplier=2.000000 StructureResistanceMultiplier=2.000000 XPMultiplier=1.000000 TamingSpeedMultiplier=3.000000 HarvestAmountMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.250000 PlayerCharacterStaminaDrainMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCharacterStaminaDrainMultiplier=1.000000 PlayerCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=1.000000 DinoCountMultiplier=1.000000 HarvestHealthMultiplier=1.000000 PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1.000000 ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=2.000000 I honestly have no clue why it's not working as so far I've managed to fix any issues with the files on my own but this one baffles me completely. Thanks in advance for you help guys!

I've just bought an Ark server and only change the host name, password etc the basic stuff on the main screen. It's been saying 'Loading' since I bought the server and to be honest I think I'm going to just ask for a refund because this is ridiculous. How difficult is it for a server to work when only basic information has been changed on it? It also displays the Ark version as '???'
