    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.

Hey @Michidul,

not sure what is causing this atm but I get this -2305843009213693952 weird id in the Permissions DB under the Steam ID column. It only shows up when a certain players logs in and even after wiping the player completely from the servers.

In arkon this players steam id appears normal and also registers normally in the arkshop

Any ideas!?
 
Make sure you are running the same version of the API that is currently posted on this site. You might want to just reinstall the API just to be sure but about 2 months ago there was a patch to fix this issue.

Thanks for the heads up, I do have v3.4 installed but I will try downloading it again and re-installing it.
 
@Michidu, the negative steamid -2305843009213693952 is still showing up in my permissions DB even after re-downloading and reinstalling the API any ideas!!?
 
Big FYI The permissions version in the ArkAPI download is not the same as the latest version if you download the permissions plugin you can confirm this with the dates inside the zip files.

The FIX is, update the permissions after you update the ArkAPI

Cheers
