Some players reported getting a time-out-connection issue when joining our server lately.

This is probably caused by the low download rate that Ark gives to install the active mods used our server when joining for the first time, this takes some time and Ark sometimes bounces the log-in request when it takes to long.

Several log-in attempts wil work but might take a long time and cause frustration so to make this a lot easier i strongly suggest you pre-download our 4 biggest mod files through Steam by hitting the Subscribe button on the following workshop pages:

Hope this helps you out!
