Please report additional concerns about mods not functioning related to an engine issue to the Aquatica Discord or the ARK Modding Community Discord.[/p][/*]
• [p]Potential fix for dinos/vehicles disappearing after game restart. Please report any subsequent issues with this to the Aquatica Discord thread [url="https://discord.com/channels/1356760803969204405/1407123745520484373"]here[/url].[/p][/*]
• [p]Fixed dinos in cryopods losing their class references after game restart[/p][list]
• [p]Note: This stops it from happening to newly cryopoded dinos, but does not fix ones that are already “raptorized”[/p][/*]

[/*]

[p]An initial fix for server character transfers for unofficial servers is being introduced. Official server transfers will be enabled after additional testing.[/p]

• [p]A specific chat for this fix has been added onto the [url="https://discord.gg/mjUMjrAqkF"]Discord[/url] server, under #「💬」server-transfers-chat. Utilize this chat as a way to not only help each other but help log the issues related to transfers if issues appear.[/p][/*]
