The Modding Limitation
- Steam: Uses the Steam Workshop for mod delivery.
- Epic Games: Does not have a native mod downloader for Ark.
- Conflict: Because Epic players cannot download Steam mods, Crossplay only works on Vanilla servers. You must disable all mods if you wish to allow Epic players to join.
Implementation Steps
- Go to the Startup tab in your Game Panel.
- In the Additional Arguments field, add
-crossplay. - Ensure the
ActiveModsfield is completely empty. - Restart your server.
