By changing the version on the panel I'm referring to changing a string ( i.e. '100.4534' ) that is used against the running servers version. If there is a mismatch, whether from us needing to update on our end or failed SteamCMD pulls, then an outdated message is shown.
 
We're aware of the servers affected by this and are working towards a resolution. In the off chance we've missed you, please provide the server ID and we'll get you sorted out. 
 
I'll be flipping between here and support today, so I'll do my best to get to you ASAP

Please only post issues that you have found a working solution or workaround for in here.
This is NOT intended to be a place to complain about a bug, and is only a community based thread for helping each other fix issues that you have already discovered a solution for.

@smittyinky Working on this right now!

Looks good to go here!

If the provided database backups do not restore accurately, the data corruption might have stemmed prior to the date that we offer roll backs (up to 30 days prior) which we do not have archived backups for. It is quite rare when a full wipe is required to resolve corrupted data. To attempt to prevent this from occurring in the future you can make manual backups as a fail safe. I do apologize and I know how frustrating it is. There are several mods that apparently corrupt world data, certain in-game random occurrences, and other yet-to-be known reasons. I surely hope that the ARK developers bring this to attention and provide, at the very least, a detailed log file for data corruption occurrences.

Difficulty Value and Difficulty Offset
Instead of fixed difficulties such as Easy, Medium, and Hard, the difficulty is expressed using a number currently between 0.5 and 4.0 (or 5.0 in The Center). This number is known as the Difficulty Value and is controlled by the DifficultyOffset option. The Difficulty Offset is a floating point number with a value between 0.01 and 1.0, with a higher number representing a higher Difficulty Value. Note, however, that setting the Difficulty Offset to 0.0 will result in a Difficulty Value of 1.0. The default Difficulty Value if the Difficulty Offset is not set is 1.0.
To calculate the Difficulty Value for a specific Difficulty Offset, use the formula
 
DifficultyValue = DifficultyOffset * 3.5 + 0.5

and round to one decimal. To calculate the Maximum Creature Level for a given Difficulty Value, simply multiply by 30.This works because the Maximum Creature Level scales linearly with the Difficulty Value, and a Difficulty Value of 1.0 results in a Maximum Creature Level of 30.)
 
 
Values are accurate, if you experience higher levels post change to your GameUserSettings.ini then you need to do cheat destroywilddinos, then restart your server.
 
i run my server @ diff offset 18 but wont get any higher then 600 (but this is mod related)
