We switched yesterday from 4netplayers to ArkServers, everything good and fine, server running good. But i wouldn't write that post if i didn't hit a obstacle. I did changes some server files which got replaced after the startup of the server in to standard game files again. I have checked "Leave uploaded files intact"  aswell but it still does the same thing every time when i startup the server even if the option does state "We won't change any game files unless we're installing a new version of the game". We are in a problem atm, those of use who do have EPIC GAMEs ARK are unable to play because we wanna use MODs on the Server and without that file changed there will be non MODs, those of us who have SteamArk have tested the server and everything working fine but still the majority of my friends do have EPIC GAMEs ARK so we do have a huge problem atm. In case someone does know a solution or i did miss a option which i think i didn't pls help my friends and me out. :D

BTW i did try to change file permissions aswell in to read and execute but it didn't help.

"Automatic File Repair" off aswell still the same problem.

This server specifically uses the APP ID of the ARK game. While it will leave the files intact, there is still a very low level protection on the server to prevent people from turning the game server into a warez host. I understand that may feel a bit misleading, but core game files are the only caveat.
