ARK Server API is crashing servers on startup v310.29

[Eps]

If your server just updated and wont start without crashing and the crash stack shows unknown functions and no server version; ARK Server API is causing your crashes. Rename version.dll to stop loading Ark Server API to get them running without plugins.

Hold tight! Given that the functions are unknown, sounds like the debugging database(PDB) being from another version or build.

Crash Stack looks like:

The UE4-ShooterGame Server has crashed and will close
---------------------------
Fatal error!

yep, epic flawless Studio WC team

 

[Eps]

Looks like the PDB they deployed is not the one created when compiling the current version. Have to wait for wildcard.

The description of that update

Current Version: v310.29 - 04/15/2020

• Fixed multiple server crashes

It runs fine without ARK Server API. The debugging database is not the correct one, so their comment still stands true.

Thanks for this, literally started trying this today and thought I was doing it wrong - could not find any info about this error.

New server update was released and API is working again.
