ARK autosave interval is too long
Applies to ARK: Survival Ascended.
What it looks like in your config
AutoSavePeriodMinutes=120
What causes it
A long autosave period means a crash rolls every player back to the last save, losing whatever they did in between.
How to fix it
AutoSavePeriodMinutes=this means a crash loses up to this minutes of progress for every player. Around 15 keeps the rollback small without saving so often it hitches.
