GSA Mod Crashes Servers
By Kozenomenon
The guide is simply here to raise awareness that the GSA mod for Ark: Survival Evolved can and will crash servers.
Until its owner makes a fix, this mod is not compatible with any of my mods, and I will not provide any support to anyone using GSA mod.

GSA Mod Not Compatible w/ Any Of My Mods

I wish that I did not feel the need to post about this.
But alas, it has been weeks and there seems to be little inclination on the part of Max, GSA mod owner, to push the very simple fix that is needed for his mod to stop crashing servers.

Once he fixes his mod I will remove this entire post.

Here is a conversation I had with Max on the ServerAdminHub discord.
Since this conversation it seems that the GSA Test mod has been updated on 11/29.
But there it sits. Meanwhile, anyone using his mod with any of mine could likely be experiencing constant crashes. :/
What Crash?
I have posted the details for what can happen when mishandling HTTP responses in an Ark mod.
This was on the Ark Modding Discord.
Max, GSA mod owner, is aware of this issue as well as the simple fix (next section).
The Simple Fix
The fix is quite simple.
Validate your input. Kind of duh.
