ASA PC Patch Notes: Client v31.38 - Server: v31.41 (Updated: 11/27/2023)


Recommended Posts

Current ARK Official Server Network Servers Version: v31.41

v31.41 (server) v31.38 (client) - 11/27/2023 - Minor version for servers and clients

  • Fixed a bug on dedicated servers where the Dino Replication range was not scaling properly based on player counts (higher player count servers scale this number as there are more active Dinos on the server to save performance).
    • Changed the logic so that on PvP it only adjusts the replication range for small tamed creatures and wild creatures, rather than all tames.
    • Can be disabled using the server startup param -disabledinonetrangescaling
  • Fixed a bug where players would sometimes fail to connect to a server because it hadn't properly cleared out their previous attempt
  • Fixed a few client crashesc
