I host my Ark server on my PC at my home on Windows 10. If you are doing the same thing and want to play on Valguero I suggest you make regular backups of the saved games. There's not much of anything you can do about hosting on a console but with the PC you can make regular backups of your maps and save them in another location on your hard drive. hopefully this is useful for some of you. I host on PC and play on XBOX , You can do the following 1. C:\Users\yourusernamehere\AppData\Local\Packages\StudioWildcard.4558480580BB9_1w2mm55455e38\LocalState\Saved\Maps this is the saved game location for those hosting using Windows 10 2. Highlight all of the folders, right click and save to zipped folder or if you use winrar add to archive and rename (I use Ark 7-29-2019 1105pm for example) 3. Cut the zip/archived file and paste it somewhere else like My Documents in a folder called Ark backups *4. If you have transferred off another map and into Valguero, and you are not spawning into your character but are being asked to respawn at a random location like a new character, and you have a backup already, reload the backup so you can get your characters back and go to C:\Users\yourusernamehere\AppData\Local\Packages\StudioWildcard.4558480580BB9_1w2mm55455e38\LocalState\Saved\clusters\solecluster and delete the files from here. This folder is where the uploaded character data is stored and once deleted you should be able to switch maps. Only do this if you have transferred and can't load your uploaded survivor.
