So i ordered a server, had it up me and some friends jumped on built a few things then I did a config change so there was no decay on buildings. After the server restarted it was a new map, we were all dead, and nothing we built or had was in the world. Any idea what could have caused this?

IF YOU ARE MISSING TEXTURES YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE DLC FROM THE STEAM STORE, YOU ARE USING THE OLD VERSION OF THE MAP!

Working fine now!

My server is up but I cant get in now due to Time Out issues. Also running TheCenter, none of my players can connect.

Offical word from Jeremy The Center Mod will be removed tomorrow (err today) shortly after The Center Official Map launches (the Official Map itself is being packaged as a Free DLC for Clients, and will automatically be included directly in the Server file package -- and don't worry, the server file package is being stripped of needless media and is now only 4GB for EVERYTHING And yes, existing TheCenter save data -should- be compatible though foliage will definitely reset. Cheers, Jeremy

But if they remove the Mod from the Workshop wouldnt it stop working on the server?

Did you do a "KillAllWildDinos"

TheEvilFrank (TheCenterMap Creator) has stated that when TheCenter becomes official tomorrow that the mod will be taken down from the Workshop. How is this going to effect our servers? In addition will "TheCenter" become an option for maps in our game control panel? Need to know this ASAP as the mod goes down in less then 12 hours. I would prefer to not have to have my server go down if at all possible. You can see it here http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/614734500/357285562487590629/

It is with great pleasure I am announcing {Con]stantine Ark - The Center. We have started our own custom server running The Center map, and some other awesome mods. The server is brand new and there are no structures. It was launched on 4/15/16. The server is set up with 5x Taming, 2x Gather and 2x XP. In addition breeding times are reduced by 5x!!! We have max level 120 dinos! We are running the following Mods. GlassMetal, Bridge, Stairs Mod w/ Rounded Walls, and ORP (Offline Raid Protection). Come join us! Click here to join http://arkservers.net/server/192.99.232.66:18316and click the IP adddress to connect. Server rules are as follows: No Offline Raiding (Obviously) No Blocking Cave Access No Turrets or Plant X Inside No Blocking Major Resource Spawns Leave the Noobs alone. Wait till they can defend before Raiding. Our rules are in place to keep things fun, and to not alienate anyone from the server. Gone are the days of getting completely wiped and feeling helpless. We allow raiding but we do what we like to call "Gentleman Raiding". Raid whoever you like whenever you like but don't completely wipe them from the server and ruin their gaming experience by having them start from complete zero. Raiding should be a challenge, not something you do in order to grief or make people waste their time by wiping them off the face of the ARK. Its more fun having the challenge of a good fight!! We also have player referral bonuses! Bring your friends to our server, play with them for 30 days! You guys will all get an Epic Loot pack and We will custom color a dino of your choosing. You can actually BREED this color into your future dinos! We don't just paint them! We run the following exciting mods on our server to expand your playing experience even further!

Took server Offline till situation is resolved. and Opened a Support Ticket

Restoring the backup did not fix the issue .... Everyone still had 50 levels of XP to spend. Our cap should be 80, No higher, and I have no idea how these settings were changed!

Attempting to restore Backup from 11;30pm PST Earlier this evening......

After tonight's restart (11:30pm) all of my players had levels that they could add. Some players are over level 120 now!! I made one change to the server configuration I changed difficulty offset to 1, and now everyone has points to spend and leveling WAY past max level (which was 80).... How do I change this back???

So it seems ArkOn has taken a dump and there have been no updates from the developer in about 2 weeks. The program will not run AT ALL on Win8 or Win7 at this point since its last update. All that happens is Kernel.DLL errors, and any attempt to contact the Dev has had no luck. Any other remote tools you guys would recommend? The CP just doesnt have enough features yet or I would just use that. Thanks in advance.
