v228.0

• ARK: Winter Wonderland Event begins!
• Massively improved game loading speed, & streaming times (reduced hitches), by using “seek free” packages (Note: this has added approximately 10GB to the game installation size)
• Rendering, & streaming, & CPU optimizations from console work
• Capability for mods to overwrite or add-to the ARK Island maps, which enables much more dynamic map mods (stackable too!)

Unversioned Hotfix: Client-side fixed an issue with crops appearing ‘super tall’.

Unversioned Hotfix: Server-side fixed Electric Prod blueprint being dropped by Winter Wonderland presents. Is not intended to be released yet 😉

V228.1

• Fixed crash that servers could get with some mod uninstallations
• Made server fail to start if LandscapeSublevel is missing (e.g. due to a failed content update), as that could cause all creatures to fall through the world.
