Ok, we finally got this working on our server. Here's what EACH player did, and I've included images:
 

Admiral Snerpe's (REINHART's) Map Fix:

1) Verify game files and download any missing files.

2) DELETE the LocalProfiles and MapImagesCache folder in the game directory's "/ShooterGame/Saved" folder.

3) CREATE a new MapImagesCacheFolder in the same location, and also create "ServerGrid" there as well.

4) Inside MapImagesCache create a folder called 19711119 (or whatever server ID)

5) Obtain map .jpg files.

6) Rename them EXACTLY like this, or you will have no map: http://prntscr.com/m4mxgt

7) Double-Check that you have this file structure: http://prntscr.com/m4myjs and that you have the same files from MapImagesCache included in the ServerGrid folder.

Launch ATLAS

9) Connect to any region, and pray to Davy Jones that we've fixed this thing!

Is there anything we have to do on the server side? This still didn't work for me, it makes me think I have something wrong on the server config. Do we need to have the server ID folder in the ServerGrid folder locally? Do we need to rename the map images on the server the same way as we renamed them locally per steps above? I might just try making a whole new server at this point and giving up everything I have to get this working.

Not only did it not work, but the server .json files from the new version of the tool made my server not launch at all, thankfully I backed up the originals. I'll give discord a shot another day, thanks for your help.

if you have Discord, you can get help in 64Gaming, they are pretty good there

Thank you, I'll give that a shot if this doesn't work.

I'll give that a shot and re-export my maps. Hopefully there's no issue importing my old .json file to make the map with the same new version.

so you used the 'Local Export All' option?

Yes, and then copied the files from the export folder to my server ServerGrid folder in /ShooterGame/

I did read somewhere some hosters use all JPG's ..
I havent tried using JPG for all mine as I let the map editor create mine

The map editor made mine, too. I'm using the latest version most likely, I just installed it like 3 days ago.

how many servers you have ?

Just one, one cell. I only have the MapImg.jpg file and CellImg0-0.jpg files.

the only map the server has is the one you need , if thats not there, then the maps dont work .. thats located on the server in folder ...ShooterGame\ServerGrid\
There would be one called   MapIMG.jpg and one for each cell .. CellIMG_0-0.png , CellIMG_0-1.png   etc.......

Wait, are they supposed to be PNG files? Should IMG be capitalized? Because mine isn't, it's .jpg and only the I in IMG is capitalized.

My computer had no map cache to clean, I have followed every instruction, re-exported the map images multiple times, still it's messed up. I'm also running a home server on another PC.

Additionally, some other people are unable to even connect to my server, but others can with no issue. This game is broken as all hell, much worse than Ark ever was for me. I'm about ready to write this game off for good.

None of these options have worked for me, and I have followed them to the letter. Is it possible that we can fix it by manually adding the files from our server to the local client map cache folder? Can anyone with working maps please post me the exact file names of the cached maps on their local clients so I can try it?
