ARK: Survival Evolved

ARK: Survival Evolved

Auto Torch
Updates,
hey i appreciate how much attention your paying to this mod lately but could you tone down the frequency of the updates a bit and compile them all into bigger updates less frequently as in every 2 or 3 days instead of every day, only reason i'm asking is because as you know heavily modded servers take anywhere between 10 to 25 minutes to restart every time we have to update for mods or game versions etc well i run 4. it's getting a bit time consumeing lately and i'd really hate to have to take your mod out until your updates calm down .

Agreed - The fact that you're updating so much is great, but maybe you could fit things into bigger, less frequent ones?

i understand your situation, but i work on my mods when i have time for that. this is by no means an official item or DLC where you could maybe expect something like an update schedule. as loong as steam auto update and ARK's handling of mods work as they do, this will not change.

So reduceing frequency of releasing updates stops you from working on the mod how?

Yeah, I'm uninstalling the mod for this very reason. The mod will update on the client, but not until the server is restarted, so we get into a situation where players cannot connect until I restart the server. The updates are too frequent, I can't keep up.

Yes please, my private server always times me out after an auto torch update until I restart it.

So there's no fix coming for those of us that can't use it due to it causing us to crash and not being able to rejoin the server until it's restarted?

well that should make everyone that can use it happy anyway. Many of us have removed it because the game becomes unplayable. Time to find an alternative.

well perhaps instead of being down on the mod and throwing a pity party, you should maybe help try to track down WHY it's not working correctly on your server or SP game and see what you can do to help the dev fix it.

I'm all for updates and bug fixes etc on mods just not with such frequency that you spend more time rebooting your servers and waiting for them to come back online than you do playing them. Really good way to tick off a playerbase and lose them.

If I were a dev I would create my own mod. I have no idea what is wrong with his mod, only that if we try to place a torch we crash, get a timeout error and can't re-enter the server until it's restarted. I'm not the only one having this problem. The comments have more than a few reporting this and so far they have been ignored.

Having your server crash whenever you go near it, or try to place it will also tick off your player base and anyone having this issue has already had to remove it and thus they're lost. I like this mod, but right now I think it's time to look for alternatives since the people "needing" colored torches are happy and so the dev is happy.

I run 4 servers none have this issue. Have admins do a fresh install of all server mods. Then verify servers game install. Players do the same. If that doesnt work use the anticortuption save to rollback to by renameing it to replace current save .
Leutian Kane 18 Sep, 2016 @ 6:49am 
And if NONE of that fixes it then remove mod and use bulk crafters torches in it work the same just dont have timers

A. Well aren't you impressive. Doesn't matter how many servers you run. Like I said, read the comments, I am not the only one.
B. I AM the admin. This started on a clean install.
C. Already removed like I said.

Discounting everyone that has this issue just because you don't want to have to deal with another update is every bit ridiculous as the dev ignoring everyone that has this issue.
