The 'Live Tuning' system is a dynamic configuration system which will allow server hosts to easily modify supported game properties without the need for mods. All that is required is a simple edit of a json file, and you're good to go! As you can imagine, this new dynamic configuration system will provide useful options for server administrators, especially as we grow it out to support more properties. For the modding community, this system is also very powerful. Modders may have actually seen it before in the property details panel. When you add variables there is a checkbox for "Live-Tunable". Checking that box on properties will opt them into the system. By doing so, this will allow server owners to tweak mod settings on the fly without the need for mod updates. As the system evolves, we hope to add more options and expose more values to tweak. The 'Live Tuning' system provides ways for server administrators to offer dynamic events in a quick, simple, and straightforward way. For more information on the 'Live Tuning' system and how to set it up, check out the following thread. We'll be adding more details as the system continues to expand: Networking & Live Game Improvements One of our constant priorities is monitoring the live-game and server reliability. Over the past few weeks, we've noticed an increase in reports about server instability. The causes of server instability may range but our engineering team has been hard at work diagnosing the root causes. In a past Community Crunch we noted that we've been working on technical changes behind the scenes to increase server performance and mitigate some of the attacks we're seeing against the servers. We've made improvements to mesh detection, added more protection against DDOS, and fixed various exploits/cheats that could be used to intentionally crash servers. Since deploying those changes we have seen a noticeable decrease in some of the server instability reports and attacks we were seeing. Although things have improved, we will continue to work against malicious players who intend to ruin the experience for others. Structure Stasis Changes We've made some changes with a focus on improving performance. This reworks how structures are loaded/unloaded on the server. The simple idea is that fewer calculations take place at a given time with the new system so the server doesn't have to do as much. Something to note is that the performance gains are more noticeable when more active structures are present (so think really busy, large bases) and an increased number of players on a server. The structures are now broken up into a grid, when a player logs in they are assigned grid cells appropriate to their location, and the structures in those cells are loaded. That way not all are loaded. This setting is enabled by default on Official Servers, and Unofficials can now opt-into using the new system too by setting the following server parameter in their commandline: -UseStructureStasisGrid This will work on both PC and Console, but we highly recommend that it is not used on servers with mods, as there are some assumptions made about structures in stasis and this could cause issues with modded content, however in a future devkit update, you'll be able to opt said structures out of the system to avoid the issues. TLDR: Predominantly busy servers with a lot of players and big bases will be seeing the most significant performance gains. Official Discord Our Official ARK Discord launched a few weeks ago and it's thriving with 35k users already!

ltbosox Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 You want to reduce in game lag on servers? The easiest thing you can do which would have the highest positive impact would be to implement an official Discord bot that would relay tribe logs and have customizable event alerts that could be added to any Discord server. That way people don't have to stay logged in, rendering huge bases, to stream logs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus base rates were doubled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccz2887 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Sweet! It’s awesome to see the holiday season come back around to Ark! The new ghost creatures that’s gone be wild!!!! For some reason I foresee my self going “wth” A LOT this fear evolved event. New chibis, new dino colors and new ghost creatures nice looking forward to it. In regards to rates yeah I slight boost in harvesting rates would be nice but seriously they did just go to permanent 2x, and from what I’ve seen yeah it is 2x. We will probably be getting 2x breeding and 2x xp. I’m thankful that we’re getting 2x breeding a lot more, remember the months that players would have killed for a 1.5 breeding event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizarDcw Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 What they honestly need to do , to revive the game is fix all duping, meshing ,hacking (basically all cheating methods) and also make a ban for insiding because its killing the game(new tribes cant be made and megatribes dont recruit randoms) they need to do all that, then wipe all official servers and let players start again clean. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
