When I try to run “ARKDevKit.bat” I receive this message box, I have tried to re-compile it. Unfortunately I have to do it manually if so, is there a better solution anywhere?
You need to download the latest binaries from github and extract them into your Ark Dev Kit folder
Read this post and follow the directions where it provides the github link and your problem should be resolved
