We're looking into this at the moment and will work with Humble to make sure any outstanding keys have been allocated.

The latest patch notes for PC can be found on SurviveTheArk.com

I wouldn't recommend playing on the Official Network with a modified binary, you'll risk getting flagged by BattlEye. We are looking into Linux/Mac issues atm and hope to have a patch out which resolves the issue as soon as possible.

Could you guys try now, we pushed an update a few minutes ago.

Aye, we had made some changes to placement so it's understandable that there may have been issues until patched. Good to know it's all working though :).

Originally posted by The Talented Wilford Brimley: Several things are acting weird now. We can't place campfires or double doorframes. Ramps don't seem to be placeable either. I'll try disabling some of the mods.

It's definitely updated to the latest version, right?

v304.44 (or v304.441 if you grabbed the patch released last night).

Otherwise, let me know the name of the server (or you can link me to the battlemetrics), I'll log on and check it out.

Originally posted by Captain Crunch: My server name is cereal killers ark server, I run it through a hosting company. You are welcome to use mine as a test if you need to. Like i said updating the server did "fix" the issue for now but i haven't gone through all the structures.

Oh, so you can use S+ structures after the server was updated?

Originally posted by Eliandra: Hey, year we have 2 Servers with the same problem.

We tested few things.
Now we can place vanilla Ark Structures. But no way with mod items.

We cant update the Server or mods cause there are no new Versions

Originally posted by Captain Crunch: I think it could be, seems to be just S+ structures from what i can tell so far. I am hopping the updates i did to the server have fixed the issue. S+ may need to do an update as well, not s...

Could I know what server you're experiencing this on?

I don't think there are. The amount of work it takes to create new creatures is really high, there aren't many mod authors that make new unique creatures rather than modify existing ones.

We're having some authentication issues with that account. We'll get that updated shortly and make sure to stay on top of it!

@ Derptini & Styxx42 you are most welcome! Happy to provide some insight where I can.

Originally posted by Ostseekrabbe: Hmm I remember having posted a couple mails explaining roundabout 7 undermesh-exploits to the intended address many months ago. The oldest is over a year now.
Never got a reply from the devs, for instance that they've read it.
Most of them are fixed now, but heck took that long.

We always read our emails regarding exploits. They won't receive a response most of the time unless its for a bounty. In regards to undermeshing exploits, if it involves map issues then they typically take longer and we try to do more at once vs a single one here and there because it takes a lot of time from o...

Metrics refers to some of our backend data that we use to track various things. One of which is mesh detection. Updating it just means we've likely added, adjusted, or removed some of the data points we are collecting going forward. In the case of mesh detection this could be location on the map or data about a specific "joint" of a character or dino. It's mostly meaningless to everyone but us in the studio but we want to be upfront about what the patch is for.

ARKpocalypse servers wipe every 30 days. The next wipe will be on the 23rd

As Ancient said, the timestamped ones are backups of your current save (Ragnarok.ark). You can revert to the backup save at any point by renaming one of the timestamped files to just 'Ragnarok.ark[\b]. Make sure you keep the original Ragnarok.ark file though in case you need to go back to it if something is wrong with your backup save(s).

Not being able to load the full list usually is attributed to your connection. In short its an issue querying with Steam. As above, I'd recommend trying to use battlemetrics or similar sites for a more comprehensive list as these work on a cached system rather than direct Steam query like we have in-game.
