timedout/lost connection to host, Dedicated server issue since 1.6.1
Since I installed the 1.6.1 update, I can not enter my dedicated server, every time we try to connect either player just charging is completed, the message "TimedOut / lost connection to host" appears.

I've tried everything, restore backups, reinstall the server, reinstall the mod ... several times, and always the same result ... "TimedOut / lost connection to host"

The last thing I tried is to create another dedicated server from scratch, without any character or saved construction, a clean installation, but after creating the new character by giving enter the server, the same, "TimedOut / lost connection to host" so I have concluded that it is a problem with the new update.

I read in the comments note that there are more people with this problem, wanted to know if there are more people with this problem and if there is any solution or any future update that allows us to play again in the Primitive plus dedicated server

Got the same issue with this mod. I can run my server without this mod on both maps but once I start this one up again I get the timeout issue. Sad thing is my server is 6 feet from my gaming rig. . . so close yet so far away *sad face*

Same here with my server since last patch

Having the same issue when logging into the unofficial server (Center) I usually play on. I was however able to get on the official Prim+ servers (both on Island & Center Maps) and an unofficial server (Center). All of these servers I have never played on. I was able to create a character, level up enough to build a thatch 1X1, log and relog without issue.

Exact same thing going on my unofficial server. On The Center, ever since the Primitive Plus Unrestricted (and ark too) updated, it's constant kicking.

ARK: 242.8 (client and server).
Running Primitive Plus Unrestricted.
TheCenter map.

Same issue.

Everything was running great until the update, with several users on. Now only people in certain locations on TheCenter map can login. If they walk to a "crash zone", they have to wait until they get killed as they can't respawn.

Upon timing out, you will notice a few files need to re-verified for integrity, though the people who can login seem to be fine whether they do this or not. This is probably not related as the people who can get online have noticed the same corrupted files even after logging in.

I was able to get on once with Low Memory Mode (though it might have been a fluke), and took 3 player steps before being kicked to timeout.

Interestingly, if I join the game via the Steam servers list rather than in-game, I get an "assertion failed" error message similar to profile errors where file verification is the usual fix. Joining through the game, it just says timeout.

It should be noted that I've tried:
* Reinstalling the mod both client and server
* Deleting and reinstalling TheCenter map
* Deleting player local profiles in the saves folder
* Using a backup .ark file for TheCenter in the saves folder from before the update
* Reverified file integrity repeatedly

It should also be noted that I CAN get into the game through singleplayer, which might mirror the other user here who said they can join official prim+ servers with both maps but not the updated server.

EDIT / FIX (of sorts):
I ended up completely deleting the "TheCenter" map folder in "mods". I then deleted the "steamapps" from my dedicated server which is where updates are stored. Upon doing this, I updated the server via the steam updater and it redownloaded TheCenter map.

I was then able to login to ALL areas, and all of my PLAYER data was saved including learned engrams, however all structures were deleted and so were all tames. Small price to pay when I can at least login and play again. A hotfix would have been nice.

Just an FYI, after the 1.62 update I still couldn't run without the timeout issue. I then deleted the conversion mod from both of my systems, server rig and gaming rig. Went ahead and let it reinstall, since I did not unsubscribe, then copied it over to my server rig. Fired it up and BINGO back in service. Thanks for the update and for doing this mod. . . . errr total conversion mod (rolls eyes) we know how some people are around here. Thanks again.

Anyone still having this issue? I think I found a fix for you. Send me a PM if you're having this problem still after 1.62.

@MONSTER I sent you a friend request-we are still having this issue on our server that uses the center map.
