Settings files for the server got overwritten again. I think that was the reason for the mods all missing. They have been replaced and the server restarted again.

Still no mods. Checking into the issue. There will need to be another restart.

Have copied the known working files to every instance of the file I could find in the directory. I even overwrote the default files. SO hopefully this comes up now working as normal along with the mods. Cross your fingers, I am.

I have run into 3 separate problems trying to get the server back up from this update.
1. Loading the wrong save. - The times on the save games obviously don't match my computer, and I have no idea what time they are using, so it's currently selective hunting and pecking based on the dates and times we do have.
2. The Server settings files for GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini being overwritten continuously. - I have no idea why they are being overwritten or from where. Some research did turn up that the server could force the load of default files if it detected an incorrect configuration.
3. Mods not loading. - See Problem 2.
4. Loss of engram points. - Also see problem 2.
Had a bit of trouble with the saves before finding out they were on a 24 hour clock. I loaded the newest one i could find.
As for the settings files, I still haven't found an answer to that. I have edited the set in the Windows Server directory one last time and what comes up is what's staying for now. Unfortunately, i need sleep and will be working the next two nights.
The mods seems to be loading now, though I don't know what they are now loading from. The GameUserSettings.ini file they are listed in no longer list them.
And somehow now, I went from from -2500 engram points to -4000 or so engram points. Hopefully this last startup will fix it, but not counting on it at this point. I'm leaving this for Fail to figure out.

Woot, semi-success. The good news, mods and engram points are back, and the most recent save. The bad news, the server saved during a time when the mods didn't load. So the most recent save is missing a few few things. Like stairs, and rounded building objects. Some rebuilding may be required.

Were the settings changed? I'm seeing some players complaining that the x5 tame might be turned off.

people are saying their giga tamed in 20 minutes, and scorp taming is fast. beaver takes 10 hours?
I can't verify this while at work. The file that should be loading is all fubar settings wise shootergame/saved/config/windowsserver. It's missing all updates/changes i made. the default file has all the correct info inside shootergame/config. Not sure what's going on here unless ark devs changed how it all worked. we should go down at some point and try and get the files in the correct spots.

We'll need to replace all the stairs or other building mods that were affected. Some people just might replace them on their own, depending. I believe Nashiq already made the announcement. I elect Dink to go around giving the materials to everyone! Kidding.

anything held up by temp pieces, (which would be really dumb of someone to do, but i did see some of that...) would have been destroyed as well.
from what i understand we just need to move the config values to the correct place and restart the server. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything at this point so we can just leave it as is until there's a lul in population.
