Bought a server and trying to get it to boot up. Installed some mods on there and every time I hit start, I see the wheel and then it just ends up stopped again. I was wondering where are the server logs for bootup. Looked in the log folder but didn't see any errors that would indicate my issue. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey there. I have been using survival servers for a couple of months now and it has been fantastic! However I tried to install a few mods and im hitting a wall. Regardless of which mode I install I get a Fatal Error on the client side. At first it was just me and the 6 other people on my server were able to connect just fine. After trying various ways of launching the game, I was able to get it to connect to the server, I had to add the server to my favorites then launch ark from steam. Join Ark > Favorites > Join. and it launches fine. Any other way, Command line, Recent servers from steam etc causes the fatal error. Seeing as i had found a work around I was content with the resolution, especially where I was the only one have the issue. Well, Until last night when all but one of the people connecting to the server started getting the fatal error. When I removed the mod on the server side, everything began to work perfectly again regardless of how the game was launched. I tried various mods to rule out if it was the particular mod. All threw a fatal error. So im not sure, is this a server side issue? some weird client issue? Steam perhaps? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Game Server ID # 15168
