To Reinstall Fresh Mod Files

1: Close Ark, Exit Steam

2: Delete every file/folder in your mods folder (Ark/ShooterGame/Content/Mods) EXCEPT for 11111111, CrystalIsles, Ragnarok, TheCenter, Valguero, or any named map.

3: Delete every file/folder within: Steam/steamapps/workshop

4: Start up steam, it should redownload all fresh mod files, if not then start ark then exit ark.

5: Let Steam finish downloading workshop content.

6: At the Ark main menu BEFORE you join a server or start a game, make sure it finishes installing mods (white text at bottom right corner of screen)


If you are using a server host and having mod problems, it is best to do this on your client computer, then copy your mod files/folders to the server's mod folder. Because sometimes the host company caches corrupted versions of mods.
