Larkfields Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hi All. The latest patch notes say a new command line switch has been added. Does anyone know what it actually does or prevents, and what is the "creature upload issue" ? Quote Fixed an exploit Added a command line unofficial admins can opt to add to protect against the creature upload issue. This can be done by adding -SecureSendArKPayload to the cmd line. Please be aware this may have an impact on some mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wasn't it just patched? I can't see a benefit to having an optional command line switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they can't or this is just a temp mitigation until they actually fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being optional is quite beneficial considering it may break some mods according to the patch notes: On 11/30/2018 at 12:02 AM, StudioWildcard said: Please be aware this may have an impact on some mods.

Was this definitely Win10 servers only, didn't affect Steam? If so, why did they add the cmd line option to the Steam version not to mention talk about it affecting some mods?

Volunteer Moderator Joebl0w13 Posted June 4, 2023 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2023 As far as I could tell it only affected the Win10 version. They must have made it optional so Steam users can opt out in case it does break some of their mods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
