    Hey Guest, I’ve got some exciting news to share! 🎉

    Starting this December, I’ll be moving the entire GameServersHub website away from WordPress and rebuilding it in Next.js! This upgrade will bring incredibly faster speeds, smoother performance, and a modern user experience that sets the stage for everything coming next.

    In 2026, GameServersHub will be entering a new era. I’ll be revamping the entire platform from the ground up and launching a brand-new, fully modernized marketplace. It’ll feature a cleaner design, improved functionality, and better tools for both creators and server owners.

    On top of that, development has already started on the GameServerListing project at https://gsl-six.vercel.app/, which is expected to launch in early Q1 2026. This new system will make discovering and managing servers easier than ever before.

I'm just getting started with learning this amazing API, and I'd really like to be able to test new builds of a plugin I'm working without having to restart the stupid Ark server every single time.

I assumed that was what the config option "AutomaticPluginReloading" was for, so I set it to "true" and restarted the server, but I'm not able to install newer versions of my plugin while the server is running because the current files are in use.

Have I got this completely wrong, or am I just not doing it correctly?

Many thanks for your help.

You need to name the plugin like so "name.dll.ArkApi" for 'AutomaticPluginReloading' option.
