Servers not running latest mod versions? -Can't join

[infernaldragon5]

I've been getting this message for literally all the servers on my favorites list, which is like 5-10. Does battle eye have something to do with this? I swear Battle-eye gives me the malware vibe...

the mods have to match the ones clioent side and vice versa, the mods updated thmselves client side the server will have to be running the same updated version.

And what does BattleEye got to do with this ?

The thing is I see like 11 people in the server I play on regularly. If this was a server side issue those people would not be able to join.

they might have already been on before the mod was updated, mods WON't update while your ingame

Ah I see. Maybe some minor mod got updated recently.

Actually I take that back, my friend just logged in right now so something weird has to be up.

Update: 7 Aug @ 11:17am
- Reupload.

Announcement: All servers should refresh new wild dino spawns by executing this console command "cheat destroywilddinos". This will ensure that new leeches will spawn with leechblood.

Ooooold thread, but the same solutions applies, namely to simply update your mods (SERVER WISE) and then everyone can join again.

If a server runs with 11 clients connected and a "MOD" update is released then steam updates all those clients that arent playing/connected. but those 11 connected clients have an update pending. The moment they fully close down the game. Their steam will update too and when they start up the game, they will find themselves unable to join due to a mod mismatch

If the server update that particular mod again it will be fine.

NOTE:
There are rare cases that a client has problems with a mod, in this case, unsubscribe from all mods and connect to the server again. it will refresh the list of mods that the server is subscribed too and redownloads them all.

NOTE2:
Any mod related messages has "nothing" to do with battleeye, Battleeye is the same principle like warden is for blizzard games.

I am having the same issue. Any the most recent server I have been playing on, wont even show up on my survivor or favorite list.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but can anyone give me a quick run down on how to unsubscribe from mods?

[Windsinger]

- Exit the game
- In steam, click View > Server
- Click on the tab "Favorites"
- You will see your server listed there probably (if not, then under my survivors)
- If you get a message upon joining that there is a mod mismatch then you might want to contact the admin to check their mods.

For example ORP, had has 3 updates in the last 16 hours. every update means a server had to shutdown + update it's mods. This is not wildcard/server owners fault but a mod maker that simply releases a new version or bug fixes.

To check your subscribed mods, or unsubscribe,
- click library (in steam)
- click ARK
- Scroll down a bit and click on the workshop
- Browse > click on it and select "Subscribed Items"
- In the right, select "Date updated" and unsubscribe from the mods that were updated last (or remove all in case of problems)
- Connect to the server again and it will redownload the mods.

NOTE:
This will NOT fix a mod mismatch if there was a new release and the server owner havent updated his server yet. Since what the server does it telling you which modID it has installed. and your client downloads the latest version from steam. there is no mod being download from the server you're connecting too.

Go to workshop, on the right is a drop down saying "Your subscribed items" (or words to that effect). When the list comes up, unsubscribe.

As an adjunct to this old thread (in case someone else reads it). I saw mods and Battleye (BE) in the same sentence.

Most "modded" unofficial servers don't use BE. Mods aren't available on official - that does use BE. Totally unrelated.

Thanks guys. Guess I will have to wait and see if they update their mods. I unsubscribed from all mods, and the server showed up in favorites again, it redownloaded all the mods and now it disappeared from favorites again. Guessing that means they need to update the newer mods.
