ARK update 271.2 Patch Notes
- Fixed an issue where fertilizer would occasionally restore its lifespan.
- Fixed an exploit which would allow players to get under the map.
- Fixed a bug where remote keypads sometimes wouldn’t work.
- Fixed a server startup crash, primarily affecting mods such as S+ & more.
- 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.
- Fixed a spawn issue with Ragnarok Lava Golem Boss.
- 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, especially on Linux).
- Baby Bone Scalings & Gestation Setups now stack from Mods, and Dino Entry Icon now stack from Mods.
- Fixed client side dino initialization crash.
- Fixed issue with local events on the client.

ARK update 271 Patch Notes
- According to the latest ARK patch notes, 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).
