I'm not sure why but we have been unable to get Genesis to load on our server. Every config file I've made just loads The Island when specifying serverMap="Genesis". If I use the same config file and change the serverMap to any other map name those maps load just fine, it's only Genesis that won't launch. If I try to use one of my other config files for different maps and change the map name to Genesis it also loads The Island.

Config file:

arkserverroot=~/ARK                                     
arkbackupdir=~/ARK-Backups/Genesis
ark_AltSaveDirectoryName=/Genesis
arkopt_ClusterDirOverride=~/tgwbcluster
arkopt_clusterid=tgwbcluster
afkflag_NoTransferFromFiltering=true
serverMap="Genesis"                                               
ark_RCONEnabled="True"                                              
ark_RCONPort="32330"                                              
ark_SessionName="TGWB on Genesis"                                  
ark_Port="7777"                                                     
ark_QueryPort="27015"                                              
ark_MaxPlayers="20"

It's a pretty basic config, at this point I took out any mods just to see if they could be causing issues

Here's are a couple of log entries from the arkserver.log file, both used the same config. The first one with ScorchedEarth_P I was testing other maps to see if the config was the problem. Scorched Earth loaded fine with this cfg file.

Any help would be appreciated.

What is the output of arkmanager status @Genesis? It should show a Server build ID of 4729387 as at 2020-02-29 20:30Z

Just double checked, that is the current server build on my server when doing a status check.

Odd - I tested here with a clean Saved directory, and using serverMap="Genesis", I got the Genesis map.

Ok, maybe something is messed up with my install of the game on that server. I'll try wiping it and reinstalling. Just gave it another shot

Still The Island.

The second server is one I have running through LinuxGSM but I'm not going to lie, I definitely like the server tools here better.

Looks like something was screwed up in the install of the game on the server. Wiped out the ~/ARK folder and after an arkmanager install everything is working now.
