OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 Command Not Working
Is this a server-ONLY configuration for the game.ini?
I entered this into my game.ini for my single-player world and for some reason, level 300 dinos are not spawning.

.....and this will guarantee the spawns after a dino wipe?

Also, do I need to change that value of 1 or do i just leave it?

Make sure to use kill all wild dinos command and let everything re-spawn with the new settings overide. Current dinos will not change so you have to get fresh spawns in to start seeing the higher level dinos.

Leave the value of the Difficultyoffset at 1

I don't think that worked. Unless i'm missing something, than I don't know because I entered that into the game.ini file along with the OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 entry and nothing passed 120 was seen. Highest I saw was a 114 on the Structures Plus Tek Transmitter...

Do you have singleplayer settings on or off? ... you need it off or it will override your .ini

Also.... these go in your gameusersettings.ini under [ServerSettings] not the game.ini
