Current top priority issues:

• Updated Dev Kit

• FPS and Level Optimization

• Server Issues

• Core Functionality

In the meantime, the ‘preaquatica’ branch will remain available.

Patch notes (v360.14)

General Notes:

• Added server setting to control the ability to place Floating Foundations in air

• In GameUserSettings.ini, under the ServerSettings section: PreventFloatingFoundationsInAir=True

• The Floating Foundations setting is enabled by default, the command line above would disable this setting.

• Fixed Floating Foundations being placeable too high above the ground when not underwater

• Fixed not being able to place Cannons on non-Aquatica maps

• Border walls no longer causing random deaths

• Fixed various foliage and mesh hole issues

• Continued FPS optimization

Dinos/Tames Fixes:

• Fixed being able to place structures on Ocepechelon saddles

• Fixed water dinos not being able to target Cymathoa

• Fixed Abyssal dinos losing their Underwater Walking ability on game restarts

• Dinos who were not intended to be able to equip infected barnacles by design are now unable to equip them.

**This update will require a minor server downtime of 1 hour to official ARK: Aquatica servers. Servers with the highest population will be prioritized. **

This update will be pushed starting:

**9:00 PM UTC

5:00 AM CST 2:00 PM PST 5:00 PM EST**
