JellyFish Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 As the subject says I have a issue when using my server to switch between DLC maps. The old .ark files for the worlds I have previously used are getting wiped from the save file. Is this an intended feature or is there a way to make sure these files do not get removed? Thanks.

Larkfields Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Do you have separate folders for each map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best practice here, as Larkfields pointed out, is to use ?AltSaveDirectoryName=FolderName in your command line. Here's an example command line that I use on one of my servers: START "Gen2" /min "D:\Servers\ARK\live\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe" CrystalIsles?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20?AllowCrateSpawnsOnTopOfStructures=True?AltSaveDirectoryName=CrystalIsles -clusterid=ClusterName -NoTransferFromFiltering -NoBattlEye -servergamelog -usecache -structurememopts -noundermeshchecking -noundermeshkilling -nosteamclient -game -server -log You'll end up with a folder in your Saved folder like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
