v35.6server (35.4Playstation client) - 02/26/2024 - Major version for servers and clients

Love Ascended Mod Removal

  • Servers will need to use the launch parameter that we added previously when you disable Love Ascended to prevent losing event cosmetics/items.

This option will disable a mod's functionality, while still loading its data, serving as a temporary measure until a permanent solution is implemented. The passivemod command line should be used in conjunction with "-mods=[ModID],[ModID]", where the passivemod's ID is listed first.
    • Example using Love Ascended: -mods=927084,ModID,ModID -passivemods=927084
