Updates for ARK are automatically installed by our system as soon as they are pushed on Steam.
While an update is being installed, ARK servers cannot be started or stopped.
This ensures that updates are installed as quickly as possible.
Depending on the size of the patch, it usually takes about 30 minutes until the update is available on all machines.
Once the update has been installed, the server can simply be restarted.
During the restart, the server will fetch the update.
