Nitrado will be conducting maintenance focused on Windows update. This maintenance will affect the whole official capacity hosted on Windows OS machines. Date: 17th of April 2025 Time and region: AU-SY 10:45 CEST (UTC +02:00: 08:45) JP-TO 11:30 CEST (UTC +02:00: 09:30) EU-MS 12:15 CEST (UTC +02:00: 10:15) US-NY 13:30 CEST (UTC +02:00: 11:30) US-MI 14:15 CEST (UTC +02:00: 12:15) BR-SP 15:00 CEST (UTC +02:00: 13:00) US-LA 15:45 CEST (UTC +02:00: 13:45) Servers will be unavailable for 15 - 45 minutes during the maintenance. Thank you for understanding.

Solution for the community servers issues with the missing walls and gates; Revert to a backup; edit the config file and remove those lines: <type name="Watchtower" cheatCheck="1"/> <type name="Fence" cheatCheck="1"/> in the cfgignorelist.xml before starting the server again and the bases should remain.

This was reverted due to false positives, keeping this setting in your config file will result in connected objects being wiped on restart.
