Rollback Ark Server Manager server version
Hi this is in the ASM Discord FYI

Server Details -> Branch Details -> Branch Name

Type preaquatica into where it says 'Live'

Then hit 'Upgrade/Verify' & wait for it to rollback to the preaquatica version.

I've just tested it and It works. Obviously you also need to select the branch in your clientside steam settings too.

does this work for nitrado based servers

This is just for people using Ark Server Manager. If you use that, it should work absolutely fine.

For privately hosted servers, I have no clue.
Cant find the Setting to Configure that, can someone explain this a little more to me?

In Ark Server Manager:

Scroll down to the 'Server Details' section
Then where it says 'Branch Name' and 'Live' underneath it.

Select the box where it says 'Live' and copy preaquatica in there.

Save, then hit the 'Upgrade/Verify' button on the right.

Then start your server. Should work fine.

Thank you so much! Saved me a lot of time trying to figure out what to put in there. <3
Thank you, but now I have a new problem. My game is on patch 358.26 (even if I'm on preaquatica branch), but my server is on 358.24 (did the preaquatica branch too). I can't connect to my server, what should I do...?

358.24 is last version for servers (and epic), 358.26 is last version for steam (before aquatica). they should be able to connect because the major version (358) is the same.
Problem solved. Thank you
what is the fix?
You beautiful bastard...
Fix is to set the client version to Beta -> pre-aquatica, and not update the servers.
Note:
For your Client Side on Steam:
- Right Click ARK > Properties
- Select Betas
- Under Beta Participation, Dropdown and select "preaquatica - ASE : Pre-Aquatica"

Also, you don't have to have ASM to be able to revert back either, you can use the `-beta` flag
Just uses `-beta preaquatica` when using SteamCMD to install or update.
Thank you so much for this information!
So under branch name, in ASM, it should be "-beta preaquatica" or "preaquatica" instead of "Live" ? Any caps or space/dash?
