Changing items players spawn with

I was referring to going into your ark\shootergame\saved\savedarkslocal folder and making a backup of TheIsland.ark file (ex. TheIslandBackup.ark) and then going into the client and starting a game with your mod. But, if you are simply looping back to the main menu, then there is something else wrong. If you were attempting to play on a previously saved game with modifications to the playerpawntest, the changes would not take effect until you reset the map. Oddly enough, your character doesn’t have to be reset. As to why you can’t get past primalgamedata_BP loading, is your primalgamedata_BP_(custom) parented to the original? Is your testgamemode_(custom) duplicated? In test game mode you need to set the player pawn class to playerpawntest_(custom).

My PrimalGameData was not parented to the original, if I do that it causes the ARK Dev Kit to crash when I try to test it inside the PIE. I did, however, parent it, upload it, re-download it, and try it again with it parented to the original with no difference in my ARK game. My TestGameMode is duplicated (from Generic Mod as all the items are) and I have set the Default Pawn class like in your image linked. I’ve tried it both ways, neither of which change the outcome in the PIE (both work) nor the actual game (revert back to the main menu). I also am getting some load errors in the Dev Kit when I start it so maybe I’ll just re-install it and see what happens.
