Hi there,
I am looking to migrate my ARK Server from Windows 10 to Ubuntu Linux, but loading mods aren't working ?

It is a dedicated server hosted by OVH.
Hypervisor Proxmox 6.1
VPS powered by QEMU, not LXC !

The VPS is provisionned using
RAM 16 GB
CPU 4 Core
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS - amd64
uname -a : Linux gameserver 4.15.0-91-generic #92-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 28 11:09:48 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Network
filtered by IPfire firewall,
Ports opened: game + query + rcon (7777 + 27015 + 27020) tcp and udp
Outgoing traffic not restricted

installed dependencies instructions on the website
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update; sudo apt install mailutils postfix curl wget file tar bzip2 gzip unzip bsdmainutils python util-linux ca-certificates binutils bc jq tmux lib32gcc1 libstdc++6 libstdc++6:i386

Then added missing packages
sudo apt install netcat lib32stdc++6 steamcmd

ARK is starting with minimal modifications but still complain about

arkserver@gameserver:~$ ./arkserver start
[ INFO ] Starting arkserver: Check IP: 172.22.22.207

[ERROR ] Fix arkserver: Applying steamcmd symlink fix: ARK: Survival Evolved
[ OK ] Starting arkserver: LinuxGSM

ARK Server online, when I tries to connect, it disconnect me instantly telling me about mods version mismatch.

arkserver@gameserver:~$ ls serverfiles/ShooterGame/Content/Mods/
111111111 111111111.mod Ragnarok TheCenter Valguero

I tried to install Stucture Plus mod ID 731604991

GameUseSettings.ini :

[ServerSettings]
ActiveMods=731604991
[...]

Game.ini

[ModInstaller]
ModIDS=731604991

I reinstalled the linux VPS twice before opening this bug...
Help ?

Same issue here, seems to be related to any mod installs... output of the debug command (some parts omitted intentionally):

The "LowLevelFatalError" line is particularly interesting, since that is a Windows path.

A lot of work was carried out to improve ark mods. This issue should be resolved. However if not please raise a new issue.
