Hi, thanks for highlighting this, glad to hear you got it sorted.
I'll look into why skins mods seem to work differently, and maybe add a warning that they need to be subbed in the game mods section to make them work.
The solution I settled on was to change the default behaviour to set the Session name in the .ini file, rather than via the command line. Hopefully this will fix the issue you were having, let me know if it is still not working.
By default, the session name is now set in the GameUserSettings.ini file rather than on the command line, to mitigate a possible bug in Ark that causes it to always use the default port of 7777 when there are spaces in the session name.
If your server is running but not showing up in the server lists, it's usually because of port forwarding issues, but it can also be due to missing root certificates. This caused me a few hours of frustrated hair pulling when ASA first came out. I followed the instructions here and it fixed the problem for me.
I'm still trying to come up with an elegant solution to this, it's taking a bit longer than I'd hoped because I wasn't able to work on it over the weekend as planned. But, I'll try and get an update out asap.
