What does the new command line switch (-SecureSendArKPayload) actually do?


Recommended Posts

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" ?

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.

Why wasn't it just patched?  I can't see a benefit to having an optional command line switch.

Being optional is quite beneficial considering it may break some mods according to the patch notes:

There was an exploit on Win10 servers where people could upload admin command spawned dinos no matter what the settings the server admins had set. 

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?
