Studio Wildcard has released Ark Survival Ascended update 33.15 for PC, which is a minor update addressing some recent issues. Read on for what’s included in today’s Ark Survival Ascended update.

Ark Survival Ascended Update 33.15 Patch Notes

• Fixed an issue where all users would transmit audio when the server was shutdown
• Added additional logging for server management

Winter Wonderland Mod Removal

With this patch we added a server launch parameter that will be needed when you disable Winter Wonderland to prevent losing event cosmetics/items.

For servers hosted with Nitrado, they will be adding a checkbox soon/ASAP to add the launch parameter specifically for the Winter Wonderland event.

• Due to the conclusion of the event, the Winter Wonderland Mod will be disabled on Officials. However the removal of the mod poses potential data loss risks to items/skins earned during the event.
• As an interim solution (before integrating mod elements into the core game), we have added a “-passivemods=[ModID],[ModID]” command line option. This option will disable a mod’s functionality, while still loading its data, serving as a temporary measure until a permanent solution is implemented. The passivemod command line should be used in conjunction with “-mods=[ModID],[ModID]”, where the passivemod’s ID is listed first.
  • Example: -mods=927090,ModID,ModID -passivemods=927090
