ARK

ARK splits into two engines and two anti-cheat surfaces: Survival Evolved on UE4 and Survival Ascended on UE5. They detect differently, patch at different cadences, and ban hardware differently. This tag covers both. You'll find post about the ASA-vs-ASE decision tree (when one license isn't enough), how community-server admin tooling matters more than the anti-cheat itself for long-term bans, the item-ESP feature set we ship for tribe raids, and the HWID coverage that works on either version once Cleaner is on. Read this before you pick which ARK license to buy.
