Commandline "-automanagemods" not working

[Amicus]

The commandline "-automanagedmods" doesn't seem working anymore after the v245 updates.

Dose anyone has the same issue or any idea to fix it?

Thanks

I have found the same problem

I added the MODIDs individually into the game.ini as well and it is still not updating.

Anyone else smart enough to resolve this issue?

I couldnt find the script anywhere myself, not after searching google a bit.
But I figured out where to install steamcmd manually so it works.
cd Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD
mkdir Linux
cd Linux
curl http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz > steamcmd.tar.gz
tar -zxf steamcmd.tar.gz
./steamcmd.sh
Let it do its update and all that.
exit steamcmd.
The game will no long seg fault on start, and it will download the mods correctly.

For windows users:
step 1:
Make sure this folder exists, if not create it
Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Win64

Step 2:
copy steamcmd.exe into the folder.

Step 3:
Launch steamcmd.exe
and wait till its done updating

step 4:
launch your server.

it should now automaticly update your mods again.

it worked for me.
only thing that didnt work is the delition of .mod files from advance.
the fix i wrote, is for the autoupdater not showing up at all. and not the updater not updating the correct files, and .mod files!

guys why don't you just use the ark server manager that updates everything automatically or use a third party tool like this one which also updates the mods automatically?

Because many of us already tried such tools in the past and found some things which aren't working.
For example if a mod creator is removing some content of a mod, this isn't removed with a few updaters out there. They only override the folder instead of first delete it. This can cause for example connection problems for some players.

The same with config files and this server managers. If you for example change the max player XP and then want to change it back to default, this doesn't work in some of this managers.

Because of such bugs, i stopped using any tools. Never had any problems again since i started to do all with my own scripts.

that's interesting. i never used tools that caused problems like that. the auto mod updater i linked delets mods automatically if they don't exist anymore and the server manager changes everything like you want it and even has buttons to set things to default values. but well you made your bad experiences and i can totally understand why you don't want to use tools like this anymore. lets hope the developers fix the command soon
