====== Preaquatica Version ======

<sub>:!: ACC ARK runs exclusively on the preaquatica Client Version.</sub>

===== Why does ACC use Preaquatica? =====

The current ARK Live Version receives frequent updates that often introduce
instability, broken mechanics and balance issues. These problems cannot be
controlled by us and negatively affect long-term PvP gameplay! **The preaquatica Version** is a proven and stable build without disruptive ongoing changes. This allows ACC to provide a reliable and consistent survival experience!
