[OldBloke]

Servers updated to v269.2

v269.2
- Fixed a bug where in the event of a rollback, players who recently used the CrossARK transfer system could lose their characters.
- Fixed the bear trap to avoid turret exploit. Bear traps only damageable by explosion now (or demolishing)
- Reduced Flamethrower Damage from base 100 per second to 30 per second.
- Flamethrower Direct Damage is now affected by Armour.
- Flamethrower expensive foliage particle effects now eliminated for everyone except the local player using the weapon
- Chainsaw not able to attack whilst running
- Tripled the effective "ammo" of TEK armours, so they last 3x as long per element
- Shield blocks should block whip stuns/item drops (and trigger the cooldown), and whip stun on players reduced to 1 second.
- Implemented a new value to reduce indirect torpor (Gas grenades, tranq).
- Chitin, Metal, Riot, and TEK Armours now reduce incoming torpor.
Chitin:
Direct Torpor Armor Mult: 0.07 (Was 0)
Indirect Torpor Armor Mult: 0.035 (Was 0)

Metal:
Direct Torpor Armor Mult: 0.15 (Was 0)
Indirect Torpor Armor Mult: 0.06 (Was 0)

Riot:
Direct Torpor Armor Mult: 0.25 (Was 0.25)
Indirect Torpor Armor Mult: 0.12 (Was 0)

Indirect Torpor Armor Mult: 0.7 (Was 0)

Indeed. The Raggy update was pulled you'll notice :sideways:

[Penfold]

Hmm. Hopefully though the crashing situation will improve.

Servers updated to v271.0

v271.0
- Game.ini [ShooterGameMode] bUseTameLimitForStructuresOnly config option, which if true will make Tame Units only be applied and used for Platforms with Structures and Rafts. Defaults false. Tame Units on Non-Legacy Official PvP now have this true (thus in effect disabling Tame Units for Dinos without Platform Structures).
- ?bRawSockets server option now has correct performance (server stalls eliminated), as good or better than Steam sockets
- Fixed some boss exploits.

v270.1
- Client: Fixed Tek Armor clipping into view when using Tek Sword
- Client: RMB should no longer activate the "charge" attack of the Tek Sword & Gloves when cancelling structure placement
- Client: In the Inventory Menu, Shift+HotkeySlotBinding while hovering over an item will equip it into that HotKey Slot #. Control+HotKeySlotBinding will remove the item from the corresponding HotKey Slot (putting it back into your regular Inventory).

Servers updated to v271.25

v271.25 - No notes
v271.24 - No notes
v271.23 - No notes
v271.22 - No notes

v271.21
- Fixed impact decals that were not rendering.

v271.2
- Fixed a method that was being used to push characters underneath the ground (Requires Server Update.)
- Fixed Fertilizer getting durability reset when using Deposit Action (Requires Server Update.)
- Increased Ragnarok Boss Arena max time to 40 minutes (Requires Server Update.)
- Fixed a server loading crash that some mod-users were seeing (Requires Server Update.)
- Fixed remote keypads not working properly on certain legacy servers.

v271.17
- Defaulted dedicated server ?bRawSockets mode to not use threaded networking, seemed to generally be a net performance loss in our analysis. Can still be forcefully enabled with -forcenetthreading

v271.16
- Fixed an spawn issue with Ragnarok Golems
- Changed TekLight structure settings to use "Tek Tier" properties (damage resistances)

v271.15
- Further improved performance of ?bRawSockets servers by eliminating threading "critical sections"
- Added -nonetthreading option for bRawSockets servers to only utilize a single thread for networking (useful to improve performance for machines with more servers than cpu cores, on Linux in particular)

That explains why I'm having issues doing the patch...Looks like we were both running it at the same time.
