ARK: Survival Evolved

Additional Lighting
Crash/Disconnect bug
My server has been periodically booting one of my players who happens to play on a mac. The rest of us are on PC and generally don't have any problems. Many times when she is disconnected she cannot then log back in because she is still 'connected' to the game. Until I use arkon to boot her or 10 or so minutes pass she can't log back in. For additional oddness, there is a specific item 'Primitive Handheld Lantern 02', causes her to immediately disconnect upon seeing it. We first noticed this about a month ago when I had one of the lanterns in a box.

Through process of elimination, (ie: pulling and replacing mods till we could replicate it) I've determined that the additional lighting mod is causing it. We also noticed through trial and error that she cannot see the mod table or any of the items even when subscribed, downloaded and installed to her mac through steam. We just tested it and yes she could not see the table or the lantern in my hand, yet she was blocked by it... and when I stuck the lantern in a box and had her open it she immediately disconnected and her toon fell asleep. But she could not log back in.

I don't know why this would only be occuring on a mac client, but I figured it was odd enough that I should report it. I actually really like this mod and I am using it to set up RP spaces around the map for the players with cool special effects (fire rings, fireflies and so forth). So if there's anything I can do to help let me know.


Thanks!

This is actually a problem coming from my end. I've cooked the mod without the Linux files.
Players on Mac are apparently the only ones using the files, resulting in problems.

I plan to add them back in the next update. This should fix it. :steamhappy:

Thanks I'll check it out soon as my server comes back up.
