Setting up Dynamic Configs on your Ark Server

Note: To implement dynamic configurations, your server must be operating on a Windows operating system. If your service is currently on Linux then please submit a support ticket for us to migrate you, subject to availability.

The dynamic configuration feature in ARK provides you with the flexibility to adjust certain server settings without the need to restart your ARK server, making it particularly convenient for hosting weekend events or making quick adjustments
