PC Patch Notes

[Lukian]

I will be updating these patch notes as they are rolled out. You can find these patch notes at: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/708761-asa-pc-patch-notes-client-v2527-server-v2527-updated-10272023/

Winter Wonderland Mod Removal
With this patch we added a server launch parameter that will be needed when you disable Winter Wonderland to prevent losing event cosmetics/items.

For servers hosted with Nitrado, they will be adding a checkbox soon/ASAP to add the launch parameter specifically for the Winter Wonderland event.

• Due to the conclusion of the event, the Winter Wonderland Mod will be disabled on Officials. However the removal of the mod poses potential data loss risks to items/skins earned during the event.
  
• As an interim solution (before integrating mod elements into the core game), we have added a "-passivemods=[ModID],[ModID]" command line option. This option will disable a mod's functionality, while still loading its data, serving as a temporary measure until a permanent solution is implemented. The passivemod command line should be used in conjunction with "-mods=[ModID],[ModID]", where the passivemod's ID is listed first.
  
• Example: -mods=927090,ModID,ModID -passivemods=927090

v33.15 (server and client) - 12/20/2023 - Minor version for servers and clients

Bug Fixes

• Using Cryopods on dinos with specialized harvesting levels no longer removes those levels when deployed.
  
• This will also refund any missing level up points on currently broken dinos.
  
• Disabled the enemy check for Cryo deployment on PVE servers.
  
• This can be overridden in GameUserSettings with DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=False
  
• Using Cryopods no longer removes Nuetered/Spayed state on dinos when deployed.
  
• Fixed a server crash.

Additional Changes
Soft Tame Server Limit - These changes are still disabled by default on all platforms, but here's a look at what's to come.

• Implemented a new Soft Tame Server Limit, default value set to 5000 dinos.
  
• This functionality is currently DISABLED BY DEFAULT on Official and Unofficial servers, but can be enabled with the configurations further down. We’ll be looking to enable this on our Official Network in later January depending on the impact of cryos on our servers.
  
• Dinos above the Soft Tame Server Limit will be marked “For Cryo” and display an icon and a timer indicating how soon they need to be cryopodded before they are automatically destroyed.
  
• Dinos marked and dinos destroyed by this system will be logged in the tribe log
  
• This differs from the standard tame limit, as it still allows new players to join servers and tame creatures above the 5000 limit, whereas previously, they would not have been able to tame or breed creatures at the server cap.
  
• Soft Tame Server Limit configurable settings:
  
• GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
  
• DestroyTamesOverTheSoftTameLimit=True - enables destroying tames over the limit, default is false
  
• MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit=5000 - set the server-wide soft tame limit
  
• MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit_CountdownForDeletionDuration=604800 - set the timer for destroy in seconds

v33.11 (server) v33.9 (client) - 12/21/2023 - Major version for servers and clients

Cryopod & Cryofridge Release

• Cryopod and Cryofridge have been added and are now level 50 unlockable Engrams
  
• When a Cryofridge is placed, they take 5 minutes to "activate"
  
• Cryopod can only be released within range of an "activated" and powered Cryofridge (range set to 6500 currently)

• Cryopodded dinos can be stored and displayed on the Display Case structure
  
• Cryopod configurable settings:
  GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
  DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=True - will ignore the enemy player/structure/dino checks. Defaulted to true on PVE/Official Network
  AllowCryoFridgeOnSaddle=True - will allow Cryofridge to be placed on rafts/saddles
  DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True - will disable the Cryofridge requirement for releasing cryopodded dinos

Survival of the Fittest Release

Nothing wrong with posting the notes. Bunch over time been asking for them any way. I tried get a thread started to get peoles pc specs and crash details to make it so maybe some one could see a pattern... but either got ignored or simply buried in 1,000 hate threads lol

Just kinda weird to be in a burning room and have one guy walking around in it giving updates on how the tablecloths have been washed, then has to ask "oh? what do you mean fire? could you describe the fire?" like bro which rock are you living under.

Sorry for the delay. All patch notes are updated.

I wish I could clean up these arguments happening in this thread.

I am appreciating you posting them OP.

I'm still waiting for the patch note that says fixed "all" crashes. Lol
I really do appreciate these notes though 👍👍

I would settle for "fixed CLIENT crash" even just one, stop fellating Nitrado and solve issues your customers are having instead.

Just saw this. No worries! I enjoy doing it. Helps keep us all informed.

I see newest patch did focus on single player :-) Thats cool that we getting patches now not just servers.

I dont know, I have noticed changes.

Someone know what exactly is this?
"Prevented clients from using specific nanite console variables to hide meshes"
Are the commands to hide some bushes like the old .ini?

Btw thank you for posting here the notes.

It's likely to prevent people from editing the .ini file further like they did in Survival Evolved. PvP players would hide almost everything and make the game run better and make it easy to see players without all the random mesh getting in the way.

About that inventory crash... nope. Not fixed with the v26.11 (server) v26.9 (client) patch today.
At first I went an hour or so without crashing while accessing inventories, then it suddenly started doing it again... with a vengeance.
Keep trying =)

Patches are slowing down it seems. Hoping they will release something meaningful soon.
