The following basic guide will show you how to switch between different versions of Ark Survival such as Ark Survival Evolved, Ark Survival Evolved 2 or Ark Survival Ascended
Note: We suggest you stop your server prior to making these changes.
WARNING: This will delete and remove any saved data, player data, mod data and game files
as it switches to a completely different version of the game which are not compatible with each other.
2. Here you can see on the side panel on the upper left of the screen "Game Switcher" here you can click this to switch your game service to the version of your choice.

enter in a new server name, Rcon admin password and under advanced you can also schedule it for later.
