Server won't update


Recommended Posts

Tried updating my server to the latest version (189.0) and no luck. Server reverts to ver 188.1 which is 2 updates behind. Started a ticket , no response yet. My server id: 7710

We're checking into why the new ARK update broke the Start/Stop/Restart button.

I was finally able to fix my problem.

 

Here is what I did:

 

-Backed up my entire "Saved" Folder

-Cleared all launch parameters

-Migrated to new server

-Once new server is "ready to join", stop it.

-Deleted the new "Saved" folder, and replaced it with my backup.

-Navigate to Shootergame/Saved/SavedArk****/ Delete or rename the following: AntiCorruptionBackup, FailedandRestored, NewLaunchBackup

-Refresh your control panel, load from a backup that exists BEFORE you performed the v189 upgrade.

-Add your launch parameters

-Cry tears of joy.

That is not necessary and not advised for a fix. What basically has been happening is the Steam servers are being overloaded and could not acquire the files properly resulting in failed downloads. This is really a Steam issue and not on our end. It has been resolved and I haven't had an issue (yet) when ARK updating. I am locking this thread and future discussion about not updating should be discussed here:
