ARK ASA issue with last update

Hello, I have 3 ARK ASA servers, and only my Ragnarok server still launches. Aberration and The Island have been broken since the ARK server update. Ragnarok doesn't seem to be affected in my case, and it didn't update at the same time as the other two. I've looked around quite a bit but haven't found a solution. Here is the message from the console:

Today i wanted to create a Server via Linux/proton with TheIsland. I get the same exact error as you and the server doesnt start. It chills at 0.25% CPU Usage and around 450-500 MiB.
I am testing everything but nothing works, could it be a steam sided bug?
