Starting From Scratch

Hello everyone!

Today has been, for lack of a better word, hectic. I brought the server down to perform an ARK update and something went haywire. The server somehow got wiped.

Falandir and I spent the last 7 hours trying many things to fix it. We did the following:

 - Verified Steam/ARK Update - Did not work
 - Rolled server back to most recent save - Did not work
 - Rolled server back to save before that - Did not work
 - Rolled server back to save before that - Did not work
 - Rolled server back to 4:15am Back-Up - Did not work
 - Deleted all mods and config files and reinstalled game on server
 - Reinstalled all mods and config files - Did not work
 - Rolled server back to save from last night -Did not work
 - Rolled server back to save from 2 days ago - Did not work

For whatever reason, the game is not reading any Saves or Back-Ups. Sadly, a wipe is the final result.  /cry

I'm sorry this happened and will help replenish items and resources. Sigh...the joys of starting back at level 1 on an empty map. If any of you lost dinosaurs you brought over from Aberration we'll help replace them as well.
