Someone else may know more about the search quirks on battle metrics, but when in doubt that always seems to work for me. It is definitly steamcmd related as ark has the same issue. The current work-around would be to disable mod automatic updates for the server in the admin panel and manually upload/install mods for the time being. Ill have to look into it, but I have very limited time right now unfortunately. Two caveats - First is, the mod list isn't always/usually perfect, but I think it will be highly accurate for your purposes of, "is this server running mods yes/no?" Second I've found some wonkiness with their search function, if you're having trouble looking up the server you're interested in, make sure you are searching for the EXACT server name, capitalization and characters included. Its probably due to Steams recent major update. You can even join straight from battle metrics and skip the join system in Ark altogether. You simply need to check that there are no mods running (or that you're okay with the mods that are running), it even links to the mods steam page so you can see what things are. For any server you're thinking of trying, look it up on, mods used are listed on the server's specific page, and frankly a ton of other info I find helpful when deciding on a new server to play. However there's a pretty good work around in your case that just requires a little extra effort. Agreed Arks join system is ridiculous, but I don't think even makes the top 50 list of fixes the game needs. Okay, so what you really want to achieve then is understanding which servers are running mods, and which servers are not running mods.
