Possible Solution to Dedicated Server running Mods after Aquatica Update**

**LIMITATIONS

*This fix is only for those who are using Ark Server Manager (ASM) on the PC and want to use mods.

*This fix is only for those who want to create a new server not repair existing ones.

*I am not a smart or techy person. Use google to help you with the specifics like logging in to Steam CMD etc.

*Don't update you're ASM Install Steam CMD files it since default is Aquatica and will break mods

*It worked for me but it may not work for you

*Sorry for possible typos

Steps...

Choose Beta Version pre-Aquatica Ark on Steam

Using SteamCMD input this "app_update 376030 -beta preaquatica validate"

However you can put that file in your ASM Directory it should be around 18GB

Don't update you're ASM Install Steam CMD files it since default is Aquatica and wont work with mods

More intelligent people than myself will hopefully comment and expand the discussion with clarifications to this solution

Bottom-line is that if you are starting a new server on ASM it will use the default Aquatica STEAMCMD Map files this solution just tells STEAMCMD "hey man I don't want the new update just give me OG Ark so I can play with Mods"
