[humble thicket]

@bleak ivy No offense, but all this oozes some behind-the-scenes-skullduggery. Non-dedicated is still just as unplayable in ASA as it was in ASE due to the 180m max distance from host(which still doesn't need to exist and shouldn't with Ark's world scale). If we do get dedicated servers it's been confirmed we're not getting clusters despite it being free up until Nitrado and Snail decided it wasn't.

ASA is a remaster in-so-far as Overwatch 2 is a remaster: A re-release to monetize the snot out of an existing title. I can be patient with bugs, crashes, and poor performance. I'm not going to be patient when after already supporting the game and devs, they're still trying to find ways to nickel and dime both myself and others.

I really don't envy moderators when the companies get up to some shady shit, lol. And to answer your question Dia, you'll need 2 copies of the game to host Ark Ascended separately from your client PC. Yet another nickel and dime.

[weary bramble]

You need an account with the game on it

[deft siren]

If I can't self-host my own cluster I'm out. Get your refund folks. Complete insanity that this is happening. This is one of the scummiest things I've ever witnessed from a gaming company.

[latent viper]

I know i'm probably late to the party and this has been asked 1000 times....but I cannot get my server to appear in the unoffical server tab in Ark. What am I doing wrong here?? haha

[tardy mica]

@severe marsh i get the same on my ded 2019 host, even logged in to steam

[scenic orchid]

going to try to shove this into wine and build a linux container image

[celest halo]

i cant selfhost anyway Supported Systems Windows all my game servers are linux, who makes a dedicated that only runs on windows? and a 15min slowmode still on after the release of the dedicated is not going to help anyone with getting help on running it.

[ebon oar]

i recommend not using beacon as i got kicked for asking a simple question and pinged twice

[wild nimbus]

💯

[eager hornet]

had to wait for slowmode to reply but on the server, after installing the dedi software, change steam to run in offline mode then launch the server and you should be able to still launch the client on your gaming pc to connect to it without having to buy twice, i tested it out and it worked for me to have both running at same time

[tiny aspen]

I got the dedicated server console log up and running so it's working!

[sage hound]

TY I was just asking about this

[rugged dock]

HERO that worked. Thanks man really appreciate it!

[wise vigil]

can someone pm me how to install that dedi software, my batch is still saying (No Subscription). Or am I doing something wrong? thnx!

[old hamlet]

the joke was that we get this ridiculous DRM'ed out version that requires steam guard to even update. but on nitrado their exe literally says NoDRM-Unofficial lol.

[halcyon rapids]

which setting do i change to increase rss on every hit?

[opal sierra]

I know that I need two licenses, that was not my question. But I was able to fix the "You'll need a new app to open this steam" message - You need to install the steam client on the server.... uncool... But well, after installing steam and trying to start the server the next error: "Application load error 6:0000065432" - sorry, had to wait for slowmode...

[foggy hare]

This is the issue my server is having ): I’m at work and had it good to go before I went to work, but my friend told me they can’t even add the IP address to Steam it can’t find it 😩 but on my side from what I can see on my phone my server is up

[fading timber]

where is the launch BAT

[hybrid quarry]

Cheers!

[fierce willow]

Do we know if there later on will be a Linux build for the dedicated server software? Or is that already out of the picture

[opal osprey]

i sure as hell hope so

[jaunty mango]

i did the login with my account downloaded the files from the appid posted but i am not seeing the arkascendedserver.exe in the binaries \win64 folder did i miss something?

[polar quartz]

Did not think wildcard could get any worse from the days of ark and atlas.... i was wrong lol

[dusky raptor]

whats a good pvpve unofficial server?

[vital shadow]

has anyone made it work yet and how?

[shrewd depot]

For those that installed the steam client to get the dedi working, are you sure you needed to even log into Steam after installing it? The server installs for The Front and Athos also require the steam APIs and a client install, but I never had to log into either. Just do the install and close after it brings up the login screen.

[echo mesa]

Trying to set up an unofficial small tribes server just basically official settings but small tribes- my game.ini is empty and I have no idea what I’m doing- someone HELP!!!

[severe marsh]

Yeah pretty much you can run a single server via command line and your server must have steam installed and running to work. Or it will fail to load the EXE with can't open that steam link. (Steam DRM)

This is honestly ridiculous they know full well that communities run up to 16 instances for clusters.

Also means when there is more maps unofficial won't be able to have multiple map clusters due to this money grabbing limitation.

And even with the above limitation they still only provide 17 servers per region for official. They want people to buy from Nitrado services.

But most of us know Nitrado servers are over subscribed and a crappy service, why would you ever choose to pay so much for a overcharged crap service.

[latent viper]

It sucks! Says my server is up and running but Ark cannot find it by server name, and steam cant find it via IP address.

[vestal cloud]

I managed to run the server on my miniPC and connect to it from my main PC. Even when it says its running, you still need to wait (i think it took over 5 min before it started). Just remember its TheIsland_WP now

[compact verge]

Mine did.as well.took time for it to list

[sharp siren]

Are harvest multipliers not even work?

[fading pecan]

anyone know how to change server settings on the nitrado interface, like gather rate etc?

[dreamy venture]

Send a nitrado ticket :3

[mortal wing]

Is nitrado really difficult to navigate??

[rugged dock]

Anyone know how to add password to config file for private server? I added "ServerPassword=" but it didn't work. Also, it seems like adjusting the player count in the configuration did not do anything? I know I'm in the correct file though because it did update the name in the server list (and I am able to connect so its actually online)

EDIT: also what is the port for the server?

[raw glade]

@crisp junco

This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment and server advertising channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.

[final eagle]

Anyone know the command for Dino wips for ASA? DestroyWildDinos doesn't work Says Command not recognized, even though it shows up in the filter commands when you're typing it in.

[opal osprey]

i used DestroyWildDinos earlier, worked for me

[bold flint]

Did they release server files for private hosting yet?

[burnt cave]

anyone know how to increase gather/tame rates? like make it a 2x server?

[spiral citrus]

anyone know where the setting is to enable PVE?

[empty bramble]

Tried to lauch the dedicated server with theisland and battleeye from steam and get "no internet connection". Like others failing to get it working via the command line

[lavish solar]

So here is how i believe it will play out.
The game doubled in price to prevent people from returning the game.
Most unofficial servers have told their players not to buy ARK SA because of the unofficial host policy.
There are so many of us who host massive clusters and now would need to beg Nitrado to allow us to host a cluster. (Cause lets be honest. no one wants to use Nitrado, so makes sense they would pull this move)
Honestly what I see coming.. Ark 2 will never make it to light..
I give Ark a year max without Dedicated unofficial servers then wildcard will be bankrupt as no one likes being limited

[stable canyon]

Did they mean November launch as in November 1st? Someone please tell me if you know!

[pale thunder]

Nobody knows, Ryan. It means anywhere between Nov 1st and Nov 30th.

[fickle mason]

so did we get a program or anything to even host our very own Dedicated Servers yet or no? I might have missed it but figured id ask

[sly root]

Does anyone know if megatherium fit in swamp caves on unofficial servers?!? @brisk mountain

[frail crescent]

Using my 15 minute timer to say, no

[wise vigil]

my windows machine requires an app to open the ArkAscendedserver.exe what do I need to use there?

[shell topaz]

Steam

[fast plover]

Are there any unofficial clusters yet running?

[next inlet]

Hosted server with 26 slots. Server name: Survival for all.

[opal sierra]

Ok, my dedicated server is now up and running. How can I tell the ark client to connect to it? For ASE the steam://connect/ip:port was possible, this does not seem to work (ports are 8888 TCP and 7777 UDP)

[barren bolt]

NO ONE KNOWS

[crystal rune]

9126 is down?

[tepid steeple]

Love this. Can't run server on my server, because I can't be on the same account for the game on my gaming PC XD

[still jay]

does anyone know how to fix wild dinos being doodoo levels? (in single player)

[glacial creek]

did you try family share?

[tender rose]

push

[snow tulip]

So I just refunded the game after I figured out that I really won't be able to properly run a cluster for ASA. So long and thanks for all the fish.

[scenic orchid]

use steam cmd to download server binaries. Google steam cmd if you don't know.

[old hamlet]

yes i did. authenticator and all. and you cant run the game (on another machine) at the same time as the server. it will disconnect your server. Thinking refund time for me as well. Reeks of ATLAS.

[rustic isle]

At least in multi you have to change difficulty to 5 (same as ASE). Then do a dinowipe

[frail anchor]

Clusters aside, just the fact that I cant host a single map server and play on it with the same copy of the game is an instant refund for me. Sad 😦

[vital shadow]

Has anyone been able to connect to thier self-hosted server????

[bitter hinge]

one that stays up for more than 30 mins

[sage hound]

You can run the server and play the game on separate PCs with one account. I JUST was able to log into mine. Run Steam on server PC then set it to Offline mode. THEN launch the server while in offline mode and you can sign in on your Gaming PC and log into the server. If anyone is curious this is the launch code I used start ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=Havensguard?AltSaveDirectoryName=Havensguard?MaxPlayers=20?listen?ServerPassword=xxxxxxx?Port=7775?QueryPort=27030?" -NoTransferFromFiltering -NoBattlEye -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -noundermeshchecking

[warm fern]

yes, but just one server for each pc

[worthy pulsar]

What appid you downloaded?

[celest halo]

if i have any info that can help anyone i will be @ you in bobs-with-probs as that channel only has a 2min slowmode vrs the 15 min here

[scenic geode]

What port must I open for it to be joinable by others though???

[tardy pine]

What does "Application load error 6:0000065432" mean? Any ideas on how to work around this?

Edit to provide fix.

1. Close the steam client on your server PC
2. Re-open the steam client as administrator

[mortal wing]

Apparently Nitrado is the only server provider for allegedly the next 3 years according to another hosting platfom. That sucks.

[atomic adder]

The only OFFICIAL server provider?

Easy way around this, a host could provide you with a a linux instance that happens to have an ark server set up to run, adn you just have to log in and run the executable.

[opal sierra]

default ports seem to be 8888 TCP and 7777 UDP, you can change the UDP with TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7779 - not managed to change the 8888 one yet. Also still not able to connect, even with these ports forwarded

[tardy elm]

Hello, if i rend a new dedicated server OVH, can I install Ark survival ascended ?

[deep flower]

Anyone have a working .bat file?

[raven valve]

[modern plank]

Anyone know a fix for not being able to add my ASA Nitrado server to me steam server list and not being able to find it in ASA server menu?

[twilit zealot]

anyone figure out how to enable movement speed?

[nimble talon]

Is this anything official? Or were people just refreshing steam db and are trying things before anything is officially launched?

[trim wadi]

if you relaunch steam client you can find the dedicated server install files there

[raw wolf]

anyone want this trade offer? I give you lots of store skins from primal carnage extinction, you buy me asa

[molten sedge]

I've got the server starting up, but I don't have any idea how to tweak the cfg file...

[nimble talon]

I get it but they may not have fully released it yet. That's my concern that everyone is getting upset but it's not actually released properly or fully

[opal osprey]

the nitrado news was posted early this morning, its not really new

[spiral grove]

what is the deal with unofficial? there are only like 5 servers appearing for me?

[leaden spoke]

I get an app configuration unavailable in the steam client. Thoughts?

[rugged dock]

my private server is up and running on a local box and my out of state friends are able to connect, as far as I am concerned this is all officially working now 🙂

[frail anchor]

If that works, thats a nice short term fix.. however.. that reeks of a work around that will just be patched later. Better to hold onto our cash until they officially support it.

[robust pier]

the server ini file has no port numbers or ip setting and no settings for the game

[fiery comet]

Anyone know how to increase gather/tame rates? I have the ini file

[trim wadi]

my server is up and running, used the command line arguements and most INI settings from my old ASE servers 🙂 worth a shot.

[fiery wadi]

I'ma need a bit of help here real quick. I have only done port forwarding once for a minecraft server and that was when I was on a different internet connection form a different provider. I could not find port forwarding in the settings of my router but I found IP and Port filtering. By the settings it seemed to be the same only that I had to type in the IPv6 instead of IPv4. I can't post a picture here but I can describe it.
I needed to add a Source address and Destination address, the protocol, and the source/destination Ports. I made 4 rules. 1. allowing all UDP traffic from all source ports to my server's 7777 port and 2. doing the same for all TCP to my server's 8888 port. 3. and 4. do the opposite so they allow UDP and TCP traffic from my server's 7777 and 8888 ports respectively to any destination address and port.
Will that work or do I need to keep looking? Cause I can't find any port forwarding setting in my router, my managed switch, or even my wifi access point at all.

[spiral grove]

why are there only a handful of unoffical servers up?

[severe marsh]

Yup time to review and re fund the game, can't run a server and then go play other games on my steam at the same time, without messing about with offline mode. Then it is only a single server rather than a cluster.

[native wave]

likely just nitrado servers if people have been able to get them up. no official server files or app id have been released to allow selfhosted servers to run an unofficial server

[waxen ingot]

Server hosting as bad is it sounds?

[rustic drum]

Just so you know, Nitrado have released a statement saying that self hosted unofficial servers can run only 1 map, NO more, if you want clusters you need to go with Nitrado themselves and rent off of them, you can run 1 map and if admins want to play on that server they need another copy of the game, refund the game!!!!!!

[molten sedge]

btw, launch server, put steam in Offline mode, then relaunch worked for me to bypass needing to use second steam account. What are "-game, -Server, -log for?

[still jay]

pretty sure that fixed it. Thank you.

[fiery comet]

Anyone know which ini setting fixes tame/gather rates

[rain imp]

game.ini I believe

[robust pier]

it's not in there

[hollow ruin]

Do i need to install ark the game itself as well on the server? I run theisland_Wp and full startup for the server is less than a minute and i dont see any game files loading in content folder

[native wave]

that's a non-starter if they will not allow people to run servers like they used when self-hosting

[narrow hill]

How do you connect to a private server. As you can't seem to add asa servers in steam to your favorites yet?

[opal sierra]

Are we allowed to reverse engineer the server if we did not get the EULA notice people shared? 🙂 Also RIP Ark Server API without reverse Engineering

[fiery comet]

I am in the game user settings.ini but can’t find the tame/gather

[thorn obsidian]

Where did they release this statement? I can't find it.

[rustic drum]

I'll have to DM you cause no links on here

[vestal cloud]

i tried launching a second instance of the server but my poor miniPC has only 16GB ram and the second instance crashed after startup

[south lynx]

there is a task list scanner on the dedicated server executable that checks to see if another ArkAscendedServer.exe process runs and then closes out with the error message "ArkAscendedServer.exe already running. You can only run one dedicated server at a time."

[tardy pine]

Please send me that link as well

[bitter sable]

I reached out to Nitrado support with feigned interest in renting a server and asked if there is full FTP access. My thinking is if we can get the dedicated files from them it might be possible to run our own server.

They said:

"Due to the fact that the game is new at the moment it is not possible to use FTP, so we appreciate your understanding.

We hope that in the coming days we will be adding more features (including FTP as in the rest of our games) so you can have a more complete experience."

[rain imp]

for those of you not seeing the game.ini in your nitrado webpage, you can upload your singleplayer one and change settings there

[north spade]

Why does it feel like 5x on my ASA server is a lot lower than on ASE and how do i fix it?

[rustic drum]

Anyone wanting the link of Nitrado confirming that clusters will NOT be happening on self hosted, just ping me and I'll DM you, refund the game!

[opal osprey]

my windows VM is still installing (had planned on doing linux), so i haven't gotten a chance yet

[molten sedge]

I'm trying to run a dedi right now, but there's no info on how to config it and I'm a noob. If someone wants to DM me and help me I'd much appreciate it, I have the server starting successfully I just don't know how to configure the command line in the bat for server naming, etc..

[river tinsel]

i've been able to download server files on my machine, but when i launch the exe, it says that i need a new application to open that link. Is it because my steam account is on my computer, not on the machine ?

[old hamlet]

well i refunded. good luck ladies and gentlemen.

[severe marsh]

It works but you need to install steam onto the server and login so it can run the DRM EXE that they gave us.

The system is stupid and a massive money grab, honestly surprised WC haven't even commented on this mess yet.

[steady sapphire]

Anyone know how to change server settings like hunger/xp gain gathering rates on nitrado?

[bitter sable]

Wrong chat. Nitrado is an official server host. This is unofficial discussion

[polar quartz]

Trying to get a Refund myself. 3 hours tho so see if steam will allow it lol

[rustic drum]

I'm the same, let's refund this absolute dumpster fire of a game that has been ruined by Nitrado, I know of at least 10 people in my server community that have refunded, if we CANNOT host a server what is the point of the game

[scenic geode]

Thanks, I got it working and is joinable. Now just to figure out if I can do custom rates

[nimble talon]

@proven prawn @brave summit you guys need to get an official statement on this. Because currently. This is extremely detrimental.

[old hamlet]

ill come back around when nitrado is done taking their cut, if that time ever comes.

[fiery comet]

Anyone have the .ini u use or found for better gather rates, faster gaming etc

[frail atlas]

@proven prawn @brave summit really not happy with this literally false advertising we need a statement on it

[twilit zealot]

wow. thank you so much

[naive finch]

Link?

[rustic drum]

@proven prawn @brave summit Why can't we host more than one server on one account? Why are we forced to use Nitrado? Why cant we have the option to run a cluster? Why did you advertise that self hosting was a viable option, when it clearly isn't

[molten sedge]

the parameters in the built in .bat for start server are -game, -server, and -log... Not sure what to do there to make it work.

[plain egret]

??

[severe marsh]

You can't even boot one without steam on the server and you need to run steam in offline on the server so you can actually use steam on your gaming pc.

The whole system is a utter cash grab zero care for their community and gamers.

[jolly sentinel]

Have we tried launched the dedicated server directly from the steam launcher? Has anyone found any success? Me and this other guy got the server to run and are able to join locally but no external ips are able to see it yet

DM for discussion i can probably make a group. Primarily looking for linux users

[steady sapphire]

Who wants to tell him

[austere sigil]

what in the uneducated did i just read

[scenic geode]

Yes. It worked for me and multiple people have joined the server. Now I am just trying to figure out how to do custom rates

[fiery comet]

Anyone have some admin commands yet? Or they the same

[plain egret]

nitrado ruined the game / unoffi

[rustic drum]

Anyone wanting the link of Nitrado confirming that clusters will NOT be happening on self hosted, just ping me and I'll DM you, refund the game!

[thorn obsidian]

definitely -not- paying nitrado after this BS lol

[white garnet]

@proven prawn could we get a game.ini with default official server settings so we can use it for our servers and then change what we want? thanks.

[nimble talon]

@rustic drum I'd like this please. Thank you. Love your comedy btw, sad to not see it anymore

Does anyone have any information if ARK Ascended supports the query protocol?

[knotty wren]

I'm trying to set up a server on Nitrado, but there are no options for exp / gather / tame rate etc. How do i change those settings?

[rough crater]

Can you still ask ASE questions or do they get ignored because of the ASA hype craze?

[crimson sable]

does anyone know if you can max out thether distance on non dedicated like before, and if you still get teleported to the host if you fly over a cave?

[hollow ruin]

does the server machine need Ark ascended the game to run? my content folder in steamcmd is empty... and the server starts in 20 seconds.. ovbiously not loading the map..

[dusk ferry]

I'm trying to set up a server on Nitrado, but there are no options for exp / gather / tame rate etc. How do i change those settings? I tried putting it both in gus and Game.ini, but it still wont work.

[low dagger]

brother, ASA questions get ignored too. Wildcard can barely be called a company at this point, they behave like a group of scammers

[fiery comet]

I’m also trying to find out. Anyone know how to fix these ?

[sacred furnace]

refunded 🙂 ASE is still viable (and I can host a cluster/play at reasonable framerates) and I won't give more of my money to these scam artists

[knotty wren]

Yeah, i tried copying my game.ini into the empty one they provide, but that didn't work

[scenic geode]

you can use a dedicated server tool on steam to setup a server,
The ports are 8888 UDP and 7777 TCP

1 per account, and afaik you can change the rates in the normal config route

[rough crater]

and scammers they are.. unless you have a NASA strong pc you can't play this game.. even so the game still crashes for ASA. i saw it.. i don't own ASA but still a scam

[nocturne isle]

Imagine testing games for free and support shitty developer like them, they told u, they just need ur money
Better get a refund

Console on top

[tepid steeple]

Interesting. set it to 5x taming, admin panel shows it's 12.5x taming XD daheck

[gleaming edge]

EVERYONE REFUND. DON'T SUPPORT THIS CRAP!

[dusk ferry]

How do i increase the harvest settings on nitrado?

[low dagger]

i dont own (yet maybe) either, i used to be involved in hunting down shitcoin developer scammers and they literally act exactly like the wildcard team, its scary and fucking disgusting these goofballs call themselves a legitimate company and are treated as such by steam, they are lucky ark turned into something great

[knotty wren]

Go spam in general if you're just going to whine. Or better yet, go do something else. You look like a freaking loser sitting around here complaining.

[scenic geode]

Would anyone mind testing if they can see my server I want to make sure that others can see it - [Muffins ARK]Custom Rates, Small Tribe!

[rough crater]

How would you feel is someone would tell you exactly that in your face?

[idle parrot]

I can see it

[rigid helm]

whoever still did not gave up, make sure u put server pwd for your communities, "admin glitch" still wasnt adressed properly and people are still somehow able to get into godmode/cmd and destroy everything 🙂

[next inlet]

there is any as of yet. later to come

[knotty wren]

I'd take it as solid advice, and go do something else. If you're that upset, refund the game. The rest of us are looking for solutions, not just being sad babies. Go away.

[simple dome]

if you figure it out let me know lol

[humble thicket]

Cry stay mad

[rough crater]

But nobody is forcing you to read every single shit line that comes in to the channel. learn to filter info man..

You're here too, except ur saying BS and we are calling out real fucking issues with this incompetent studio.

Ur literally spending the same amount of time here but instead of getting any sort of point across ur being a nuisance lmao....

Also I dont have ark, I want ark, but it seems that at this point it is genuinely one of the most unplayable games ever released.... How about BE FUCKING TRANSPARENT??? idgaf f they delay till 2024, just stop lying saying everything will be completely on track when its all bs man, stop defending absolute bs it makes you look like a clown

[timid tiger]

server running but server is not ingame in server list

You were able to host without going through Noobtrado? Am I reading this correctly?

yeah same basically, we're just playing on normal settings, besides the UE5 crashes cuz i do things too fast lmao

[rustic drum]

Just refunded, goodbye Ark!

[earnest mountain]

If someone is willing to who got the server to work, and managed to run it on their separate server pc as well DM me how? I tried running it in offline mode on host pc but steam still seems to recognize that the dedicated server is running from my game pc, which prevents me from running the game

[fiery comet]

I found like two things I could change and just scanning through for more possibilities. I have my old .ini from my other server so comparing that too

Cumbag, copy of the first, worst than the first game. It the only thing I can say, the game is lagging so much with my 3070 I can only run it on low. I’m disappointed foreal of wildcraft. I returned this cumbag instantly.

[shy shoal]

You’re the real MVP!

[knotty wren]

You're a hero! Thank you. I figured it was something like this but was having a hard time finding the specific commands / entries. Thank you for the help.

[shell topaz]

Update your graphics drivers, and run it on Medium. My 3060 gets a solid 60 fps on 1080p, but that plummets on Low

[leaden hamlet]

anyone know commands for better fps?

[low dagger]

BOOKMARK

[rough crater]

in ASE, is there a way to backup your character info without having the game running? say you want to do character transfers in local host to another map to get dinos. I ask for a way, because of crash during transfers and you loose it all.

[opal knot]

turn it on on the settings, than touch ESC key, you will see console buttton

[pallid tendon]

Anyone able to find the harvest, tame, food, water, etc multiplier values in the configs yet?

[fast plover]

Can u send me the thing

[opal osprey]

Hopefully WC is taking note of how much outrage there is about this and will backtrack and make good on the ability for us to host our own clusters like we could with ASE

[fiery comet]

In your Nitrado Dashboard > Under Settings > Click Config Files > Change to gameusersettings.ini under [ServersSettings] > copy and paste/change numerical values as you need
XPMultiplier=5.0
TamingSpeedMultiplier=5.0
HarvestAmountMultiplier=5.0

[tepid notch]

Bro still I paid a 3070 for this ? I can’t even enjoy the game. They are doing the same one as atlas. I’m really disappointed.

[vital shadow]

guys i have issues opening cmd ingame, any ideas?

[shell topaz]

I cant stress how big of a difference even 1 graphics driver update makes to UE5's latest updates

[celest halo]

i wish the dedicated ran on linux, clusters would be nice also but not needed till more maps are out

[pallid tendon]

You a real one, thanks fam

[opal osprey]

100% agree

[limpid olive]

someone know settings for private asa server for more tamingspeed?

[fiery comet]

I found this, it was posted by someone earlier and no prob!

[shell topaz]

Itll get there, there's builds for it, just not ready yet apparently, and we'll rage if we can't have private home run clusters by map#2 😂

[modern pelican]

when I try launching this, i get a messing say i need an app to open that

[rough crater]

ook.. maybe i should come back when chat calms down about ASA craze so that i can ask my ASE question and get helped

[opal osprey]

i mean, at the rate its going... i have to assume WC see's the amount they've hurt themselves with this

[sudden rock]

Are private servers on Nitrado running okay?

[odd otter]

Might be able to help, can I ask what's the prob?

[boreal anchor]

Just a reminder setting the default harvesting rates too high will cause lag after certain values are hit, this is due to...well poor coding choices, the workaround is to change and set each default value for each individual item in game.ini to specific harvesting values. However the downside is this will take knowledge of each individual known items ID and location and is extremely tedious/time consuming. But it will eliminate the lag you recieve from high rate values.

[celest halo]

my game server box is linux and dont really feel like installing a windows vm just to run an ark server

[polar quartz]

Steam Refunded me : ) even tho hours where over 2 hours.

[low dagger]

yea i got all my brothers to refund it quick before them 2 hours was over

[arctic smelt]

How do I get nitrado connected to beacon? I've always used gportal

[native wave]

refunding until the self-hosted server issue gets sorted. Don't get good enough performance to do a single player run. Need a linux version and an app id for the dedicated server to even consider running a server. I'm done with running dedicated servers of Ark on Windows.

[shell topaz]

It's not Wildcard's fault, they have overlords they have to listen to. They're just working hard to fix thr very many problems the forced launch has caused

[ashen burrow]

How do I connect to my dedicated asa server?

[pallid tendon]

App ID: 2430930 Ark Dedicated

[fiery comet]

In your Nitrado Dashboard > Under Settings > Click Config Files > Change to gameusersettings.ini under [ServersSettings] > copy and paste/change numerical values as you need
XPMultiplier=5.0
TamingSpeedMultiplier=5.0
HarvestAmountMultiplier=5.0

[frosty marlin]

anyone know whats up?
server console arkaascendedserver is saying "Full startup 17.13 seconds" Number of coresa 6. But I can't see it over lan at all.

[sharp drift]

You must login to the steam account that owns game should be noted to this. One server per ASA steam account

[dense juniper]

so for a dedicated server should we use steamcmd and do it from there or use the dedicated server tool? can we still join on the same machine

[limpid olive]

can i just copy and paste? because i dont have these values

[tiny aspen]

Can anyone connect to their self-hosted server from the external IP? I got the server to work but only locally 🤔 Other people get timeouts when trying to join...

[burnt cave]

does anyone know how to set it so the dinos levels are in increments of 5 up to 150?

[rough crater]

sent you a DM..

[sick dome]

where is the dedicated files?

[gray current]

so you are all ok paying for this crap....what about clusters we used to be able to run! WC is behind all of us with a spikey pole and no lube!!!!

[ashen burrow]

Why can't find my dedicated ASA server from nitrado?

[polar quartz]

no thats why i refunded lol

[ashen falcon]

Why are we acting like this ark was supposed to be so much greater than the last ark? Ark has always had problems hello. There’s always going to be problems just the way it is. You can’t tell me that ASA don’t look 100 times better because if you do your PC is trash get a better one.

[severe marsh]

Refunded till they add proper community servers and support.

[rapid creek]

You understand this has very little to do with the way the game looks, right?

[boreal patrol]

The problem is Nitrado not WC

[fiery comet]

Sent u a DM

[simple dome]

this works??

[plain locust]

can someone dm me asa commands to make me boost fps

[celest halo]

its WC for making the deal with Nitrado and for not paying them for ASE servers

[glacial creek]

did you setup the server using the anonymous bat in that post further down?

[pearl jay]

why 180 meter max distans between persons

[undone swan]

same

[gray current]

uninstall and reinstall ark SE

[sudden rock]

Are private servers on Nitrado running okay?

[rustic drum]

sounds stupid put what ports are you using and are they forwarded?

[stuck leaf]

Hosting on our own PC servers and clusters is the very basics of ARK Communities. I'm holding off on buying ASA until this is a clear and easy feature to access. Never gonna subscribe to Nitrado and especially not a these price levels...

[boreal patrol]

No thats Snail

[dense juniper]

so for a dedicated server should we use steamcmd and do it from there or use the dedicated server tool? can we still join on the same machine

[gray current]

Yep, and the price gouging is a free perk! LOL

[tiny aspen]

Game: 7800 (7801 UDP), Query: 27028, RCON: 37031 (not that RCON matters)

All forwarded to the correct IP & protocols

[severe marsh]

I know what you mean like £100 for a single 100 slot server could get a banging dedicated server for £100 a month and run like a 8 server cluster on it.

It is so obviously a money grab and zero care for their community that actually makes the game a success.

[obsidian sandal]

hey all -- our server owner states that ASA doesn't have an option to change the xp/harvest rates. is this true?

[rustic drum]

Was that the standard ports the config shipped with? No idea tbh, but I think a LOT of other people can't get external IPs to connect, so you're not alone

[opal osprey]

they'll have to add them to the config file

[hollow ruin]

why is my server starting in only 20 seconds? why is the content folder not populating with files? im so confused

[plain lagoon]

Anyone know if it will be possible to host own server at some point or is it just nitrado for next 7 years? 💀

[fiery comet]

Yup

[tiny aspen]

It's not standard as my 13-map ASE cluster is already using these ports hahaha. Maybe I'll run a test with the standard ports and put the ASE server with those ports offline hmmm

[sudden rock]

thanks

[brazen heron]

Is ark ascended gonna be on windows? Or just steam

[viral viper]

Theyre just trying to fuck everyone out of more money like for once they just need to do the right thing and give us the fucking RIGHT appid not the shit one where we have to buy the game over and over and over its bullshit and incredibly scummy and im about to just refund this garbage at this point

[celest halo]

windows (xbox game pass) be next month when consoles get it

Got my server up and running, thanks @sage hound for the launch commands

[boreal patrol]

lots

[obsidian sandal]

if i use steamcmd and run this command: app_update 2399830 will that get me the dedicated server files ?

no they are blocking it somehow

no it will not APPID APP TYPE NAME 2399830 Game ARK: Survival Ascended 2430930 Tool ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server
you also need to login with an account that owns the game cant use anonymous

my nitrado server is stuck on constantly restarting, is there a fix?

tether is still a thing??? How is it that every other game released in the last 5 years has figured out how to not have tether?

Server files of Asa with the corrupted nitrado deal is being cracked so far successful.

That lasted less than 24 hrs.
Updates will follow

[obsidian sandal]

oh thanks i used the wrong app_id. thanks for correcting me @celest halo

[shell topaz]

You cant download it anonymously, need to provide credentials. It requires the ASA license

[tiny aspen]

Soo, has anyone managed to set up a ASA dedicated server that allows external connections? Mine only seems to accept local network connections but all the settings seem to be configured correctly...

[cosmic stone]

I tried it with the login and still nothing however if you get the files you may be able to update it regardless waiting for files to transfer so I can test it

[harsh stump]

does anyonr know how to add a password to a non dedicated server

[stuck leaf]

Yeah right on. I'll continue to play on my own ASE 12-map cluster. Own server hosting...a feature we had for 8 years! How could this not have been planned for this REMASTERED launch is beyond me.

[gleaming kite]

do this !
in steam cmd when its open
login steam ID pasword hit enter

[plain lagoon]

4mil nitrado deal is why 💀

[plucky sparrow]

Do not buy nitrado servers lads ... Do not do it ... Owners should not participate in this scheme!

Server files are being cracked unofficial private hosting remains a thing wether they like it or not.

[tranquil spade]

fck nitrado

Hey i am having a crashing issue on solo i looked it up and it said it was trying to access ram that isnt a valid adress can anyone help me out?

Wont happen. Waiting for dedicated server pack to be launched just hope it wont take long...

[short vortex]

Console: AdminCheat @obsidian oyster

[plucky sparrow]

Plugin devs modders and server owners are working on it ... Be patient do not support nitrado

I ask again do not buy your servers there it is being solved!

[half kraken]

Are there some inis for asa bc my fps is fuking burning

[tulip hollow]

what do you mean?

[still jay]

will ASM exist for Ascended?

[celest halo]

dedicated server appid is on steam already

2399830    Game    ARK: Survival Ascended
2430930    Tool    ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server```

you also need to login with an account that owns the game cant use anonymous

[opal knot]

If there are no private dedicated servers, I will ask for a REFUND... and stay only with ASE servers,

[obsidian oyster]

Is it a different key on ASA for the console than on ASE? because tab isnt working and I dont see anywhere in settings to turn it on

[plain lagoon]

How do u access that tho?

[plucky sparrow]

They are not planning to release it ! Read the nitrado news ... It's a monopoly scheme.

However it is being solved. Just calm down those that hosted before and know plugin devs ... They know it's not gonna last

A deal was made with plugin devs which is not met. There is currently a team looking at the situation the first unofficial private hosting servers will go live wether nitrado likes it or not.

[wild mantle]

Indeed, not sure if it's straight forward. Could you explain more?

[short vortex]

@obsidian oyster it’s in settings I forget where I’m at work atm. But I changed my keybinding to tilde instead of what it was. Find it and change it to your liking

[misty gate]

you can install the dedicated server without steamcmd from here: steamdb.info/app/2430930/history/

Thank you!!!

[white garnet]

I have my own dedicated server running right now, not through nitrado. It works guys, just take a minute to figure it out.

[short vortex]

Why you keep copy pasta(ing)?

[opal knot]

Do not install, start but stop after

[still jay]

so ASM will probably exist for ASA?

[wild mantle]

thank you for confirming, windows only I assume?

[plucky sparrow]

Likely

[wintry saddle]

can you give a brief step by step?

[worldly dagger]

ASM is no longer being developed, so unfortunately not.

Might end up being something similar though.

[bleak ivy]

you can just launch it through steam, doesn't matter if steam signs out after when you launch ASA I mean

[obsidian oyster]

I found it, its in the pause menu settings, not the ark settings. Called "Console Access" in advanced. Thanks for the help

[celest halo]

to run the server you need steam open. and its for windows only no linux dedicated

[shell topaz]

In offline mode it works fine

[white garnet]

@still jay i hope so. @wild mantle im using windows, yes, not sure if theres any linux support yet.

[fiery comet]

For us server renters for the ini file

[short vortex]

No problem! Sorry I couldn’t pinpoint it to make it easier on ya. Have a good one🤝

[still jay]

I really liked ASM...😢

[misty gate]

my nitrado server doesn't work, but my dedicated server that i hosted on my pc is working lol -- i'm connected to it and it shows up in the server list.

i installed the dedicated server on the same pc i'm playing on, using windows, from steamdb.info/app/2430930/history/. you can just click install at the top, no steamcmd needed.

[worldly dagger]

Me too :( I just checked in on their FAQ last night though and it says they are not developing a version of ASM for ASA.

[flint fox]

does the server you host can it be password protected?

[regal halo]

How did you get the server to start after that? Im trying to use a bat file with command line settings but it's just opening a steamcmd session.

[misty gate]

@flint fox yes, it's a setting in one of the ini files
@regal haloi literally just started it in steam while the game was running. it started right up and i was able to find it in the game within a minute or two

[shell topaz]

Just launch it through Steam, don't need SteamCMD. (Since it only works on Windows anyway)

Edit: for the guy below me, it's a command line argument

[keen dragon]

hello do you know how to deactivate Battleye on an unofficial ASA server please?

[regal halo]

@misty gate @shell topaz Thank you both ❤️

[wild mantle]

So I should literally install steam on my windows server? Apologies haven't needed to do this before

[bitter sable]

might be able to do it in Linux, ASA has Platinum support on Proton DB

[humble thicket]

anyone with an rx 5600 ?

[still jay]

My router doesn't have loopback capability. Will I be able to host a cluster server on the machine im running on and transfer between maps, or will it be like in ASE where I had to run the cluster on another machine and use a vpn to connect to it?

[leaden hamlet]

40 fps all low i got one

[shell topaz]

If youre using steamCMD on a proper server OS, then you just need to provide your credentials to steamCMD, then the previously posted batch file should work

[keen dragon]

or do you know why I find myself ejected from all the game servers regardless of which one in a loop when this afternoon I played for more than 5 hours without problems on my server? I'm taking two timeouts in a loop

[humble thicket]

u got ini on?

[wild mantle]

thank you

[bitter sable]

Everyone in this chat is desperately trying to get more servers up but Wildcard left us all in the dark here 🙃

[plain lagoon]

Anyone know where the config file is in the dedicated server files?

[atomic adder]

Why does the dediserver talk to epicgameS?

[astral temple]

does anyone know how to run a server on and play the game on a seperate pc, going offline mode doesn't work

[tardy mica]

is there a full list of launch commands for dedi somewhere? is it the same as ARK:SE?

[merry sundial]

Hi, I have a dumb question. I have setup my server password through Nitrado but I keep getting invalid password when i enter it

[shut trout]

If you're using the steam server exe is there a way to password protect that server?

[ashen patrol]

Just when we didnt think ARK would get any worse. Wildcard said "Hold my beer"

[bitter sable]

I'm still mad they ruined SOTF XD

[tiny aspen]

FINALLY. The BBR ASA server is now fully operational! The ports had to be registered I think, but players are connecting to a self-hosted ASA server. I can confirm it is working! (If you want to see feel free to join through my profile this is not an ad, just trying to help)(

Does anyone have any info on starting a dedicated server with mods? I tired moving the mod folders to the server directory and adding the mod IDs in the launch options (like ASE) but that didn't work

[shell topaz]

• Install the dedicated Server
• Run Dedicated Server
• Wait for it to finish booting
• Go into Offline Mode
• Launch ASA and join

question in unofficial servers is there movement speed?

[celest halo]

histroy shows 3 changes, but public branch was last updated 12 hours ago

ASA dedicated/self hosting servers ARE WORKING! The BBR ASA Island server is custom-hosted (not on nitrado) and online! Keep trying folks, it's possible^^

[indigo harness]

ah you're right

[plain lagoon]

Geez. I gotta search for the variables than -.- Thx for info 🙂

[shell topaz]

#fanart-and-screenshots for Screenshot of "Offline Mode"

[vagrant ledge]

Got my dedicated server to work with server password and other setting so it does work 🙂

[winged nebula]

by default, the GameUserSettings inside of the Ark Dedicated folder is pretty barren. I recommend spinning up a non-dedicated server with the settings you want in-game and use the newly generated GameUserSettings on your dedicated server. (Taming Speed will be there)

[hollow ruin]

anyone know how to add the mods to their privately hosted server?

[steady sapphire]

Anyone know how to make sure nitrado doesnt lose data when you stop the server

[sonic umbra]

thats the way the game writes it in its files and that how we should be adding them to the server```

[merry sundial]

How did you get the password to start working.

[lusty rivet]

-NoTransferFromFiltering is working?

[plain lagoon]

That is so smart thanks a lot!

[vagrant ledge]

Legit just put ServerPassword= anywhere under [ServerSettings] in GUS.ini

[drowsy estuary]

Still working on it, I found the actual mod files, but I can't figure out how to get the server to load them

To setup your own dedicated server. A quick and dirty guide.

You need the steam client on your server box (some people need to run as admin). You can either install ASA Server using the Steam client or use SteamCMD with this command (If you dont know steamcmd just use the steam client.)

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir c:(Where you want it installed) +login (Your Username) (Your Password) +app_update 2430930 validate +exit

Remove the () and enter your information.

Once you get the server installed, have the steam client running logged in to your account that has ASA and set it to offline mode. (Click steam at the top left and click go offline)

Create a .bat file with this code and put it into the same folder as the ArkAscendedServer.exe.

start ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=(Name you want your server)?AltSaveDirectoryName=(Save file name, do not put an actual directory here no spaces.)?listen?ServerPassword=(server password)?Port=7775?QueryPort=27030?" -NoTransferFromFiltering -NoBattlEye

Remove the () and add your information

Run it once to get your default server files and wait a few minutes. Close the server program after.

Open the game on your PC and create a non-dedicated game using the settings you would like to have on your server. Once you start the non-dedicated server it creates the ini files you can use to change settings on your server. Copy the gameusersettings.ini and game.ini file from \ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows on your PC and put it into the folder on your server \ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer.

Run the server program again and it should start with your custom settings. Make sure your ports are forwarded (I cannot help you with this you need to know how or figure it out yourself) and then join the server and play!

This is what worked for me, I do not take responsibility for anything if it doesn't work. If you need more help ask in the channel and hopefully someone can help you.

[humble thicket]

i keep getting a notification sayinging joining failed??? when trying to joiin a specific server

[silver glen]

Was just about to ask ty

[tiny aspen]

Just to help people get their dedi server up and running:

• Be sure to install the dedi files through steamCMD while being logged into your account (appID: 2430930)
• After installing, make a file called run.bat with the following content:

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=xxxx?QueryPort=xxxx?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=xxxx?MultiHome=xxx.xxx.x.xx?SessionName="xxx" -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs -ForceRespawnDinos -game -server

Rename the xxxx to your own info!

• Port forward the chosen ports in your network settings.
• Run the server once, let it finish initialization and close it so that it generated the files.
• Change any setting you'd like in the GameUserSettings.ini/Game.ini as you choose
• It might take a while before your server is listed in the server browser, should show up after a little while!

EDIT: Ah I see someone else beat me to it hahaha

[junior trout]

What -game, -server and MultiHome do?

[hollow ruin]

anyone know how to add the mods to their privately hosted server?

[honest fossil]

Are we sure we can change the ports?

[white garnet]

you should be able to change ports but i didnt want to risk it lol

[velvet parrot]

Y’all think my 1650 super can run this game?

[loud sphinx]

Any word on when a linux server will be available? Windows tortures me...

[tiny aspen]

I ported those over from ASE config, multihome is for clusters so I set that up in advance. As for -game and -server I just figured those could be useful 😅

[junior trout]

Makes sense, tks

[potent dirge]

Anyone know how to fix the Join Time Out error? We just bought a Nitrado server and we can't join it cause we keep getting this error. 😠

[normal bramble]

Are you dense? You can't host a server AND play on it yourself, AND you need to buy the game for every server in teh cluster, IF clustering is even supported, which isn't confirmed yet

[vagrant ledge]

Hmm odd Can you chose server name?

[white garnet]

@normal bramble you can host and play at the same time. I am doing it right now.

[latent comet]

Hey, trying to set up a nitrado server atm, is there a reccommened server settings I can paste into .ini?

[merry sundial]

yes that is working

[hybrid quarry]

On the same, or different computers?

[north spade]

@normal bramble can u help me with the gameusersettings.ini?

[normal bramble]

The config is identical to Evolved.

HarvestAmountMultiplier=2.000000

Put that in the [ServerSettings] section of GUS.ini

[umbral horizon]

Any idea when they going to realase events for ark survival evolved?

[floral wedge]

Are the server issues just official or everything?

Cause I’m wanting to buy a Nitrado private server soon.

On different computers. You can't run a dedicated server machine, due to Steam's one machine in use per account limitation

@white garnet - interesting. We tried this but it wouldn't run when steam was in offline mode. Might try again now that it has been running in online mode. Thanks for the tip.

[north spade]

does it need the .0 cuz thats all that i have different

[merry sundial]

it was already in the GUS.ini when i got there near the end of [Server Settings]

[thorn obsidian]

How do I make myself an admin on my dedicated server?

[white garnet]

yes start steam in online mode then switch to offline and you can start the server by using the batch file, dont need to start it using steam

[latent comet]

anyone able to get harvest multiplier and xp multiplyer working?

[vagrant ledge]

hmm then Im not sure why it wont work for you but does for me

[normal bramble]

No, it doesn't need the trailing zeros, I just copied by GUS.ini from my ASE cluster that was set up using ASM. If yours isn't working, I'm not sure what to tell you, but ours is working using that

[latent comet]

are nitrado asa server settings interchangable with ase settings if I copy and paste?

[atomic adder]

can anyone who has their server running and is connected, can you netstat -aon | findstr {yourPIDhere} and tell me what ports look like for your ark server PID? You can find the PID in task manager details tab.

  TCP    127.0.0.1:8888         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       32256
  TCP    192.168.88.81:6917     34.237.104.122:443     ESTABLISHED     32256
  TCP    192.168.88.81:7087     54.211.69.220:443      ESTABLISHED     32256
  UDP    0.0.0.0:7777           *:*                                    32256```

[rancid oyster]

can I not change harvest multiplier on nitrado?

[buoyant raft]

Has anyone been made aware of what the code is to allow speed leveling on unofficials?

[hidden minnow]

interested in this as well

[latent comet]

does anyone have a recommened list of server settings I can paste in (nitrado)

[austere sleet]

Wait a Moment... it will never be possible to host a server on a Linux Root? is this a legit information?

[white garnet]

@latent comet create settings in singleplayer then copy the game.ini file to your server

[vagrant ledge]

If you want I can try to help you in DMs instead

[merry sundial]

sure

[latent comet]

you're a gem

[opal knot]

only work on the same machine

[fast plover]

Has anyone got an actual cluster / dedicated server running yet?

[white garnet]

not a cluster but i have my own dedicated server running, scroll up for a guide i wrote

[honest fossil]

Can you run the netstat -aon | findstr {yourPIDhere} powershell command and post the output?

[latent comet]

how long is it taking for nitrado servers to show up when putting them online?

[opal knot]

Tomorrow is refund day

[bronze bronze]

the offline steam trick does work for those wondering just did it

[low dagger]

[narrow loom]

hey I had a wild idea for a unique mod I refer to as a Bio-Hazard Mod. In this mod, you could make Biohazard Rounds that would give different diseases, parasites, virus, ect. based on how it was made; i.e. combine feces + bullet = Fecal Round (Effect: 10% chance to cause Blood Poisoning) as an example. Of course expanded upon, and have antidote system to counteract the infections. Are there any modders that have thought about, or would be interesting in undertaking this mod endeavor? If so, please reach out so I can stay up to date on the progress.

[fast plover]

Will there be any way to make a cluster ?

[white garnet]

@honest fossil gonna be honest i just fuck around with this stuff as a hobby, i dont know what youre looking for there or what a PID is lol

[hollow ruin]

anyone figure out how to add the ark additions mods to private server?

[stiff stream]

how do i open console in singleplayer? the tilde key or tab (setting i saved) doesnt work

[celest halo]

noone knows, and prob wont till the first DLC is released

[wild mantle]

Question about your guide, thanks btw! Do you need the steam client installed if you use steamcmd?

[junior trout]

Using BattlEye in unofficial server is a thing?

[fast plover]

Couldn’t ppl try it running 2 island maps?

[white garnet]

@fast plover i dont know, i doubt theyd prevent it in the future, currently its probably not possible unless you use VMs

@wild mantle yes, from what im seeing you do need the steam client installed and running on the server

[regal knoll]

can you turn on auto engram learning?

[honest fossil]

Just trying to figure out why joining aint working. My dedi server loads fine and can be found in the server browser. Joining just doesnt work so im thinking it might be something with the ports, as Im not using the default ones.. or at least trying to use custom ones.

[ebon hinge]

Anybody know which number is for crafting skill multiplier in GAME.INI... PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[x] <- I cant seem to find crafting at all, just want instant craft on unofficial.

[regal mountain]

Get rid of the nitrado deal, I shouldn’t be forced to use one server provider. Horrible business decision

[fiery wadi]

.

[knotty edge]

hello, trying to run dedicated server (self-hosted), but the server is not showing up on the serverlist. any fixes?

[shrewd quail]

Someone needs to mod item weight reductions while the market is ripe for the taking

[clear spruce]

This. It's pure greed to railroad us to Nitrado for server hosting like we used to do.

[upper flume]

@white garnet where to find the singleplayer ini

[hollow ruin]

where are mods stored im so confused.

[eager locust]

since the devkit came out, does that mean mods are gonna be coming in now?

[white garnet]

@honest fossil i just used the ports rosie posted in their batch file, i assume those are defaults. i forwarded those ports and it worked on the first try

@upper flume the file path is in the guide, make sure you start the singleplayer game or it wont exist.

[scarlet lichen]

anybody found a workaround for using steamcmd anonymously? i'm not buying the game again to run a windows server lol

[olive forge]

I refunded. If they get this working like ASE I'll purchase again.

[viral reef]

same

[celest halo]

curseforge has some mods now, they just mostly dinos and a 60% finished map

[celest rain]

How do you do the offline mode on a dedicated windows server when there's no GUI?

[regal mountain]

It’s pathetic, imagine not allowing your playerbase to host their own servers and forcing them to use a provider

[regal knoll]

can you turn on auto engram learning?

[upper flume]

@white garnet found it thanks

[fiery wadi]

I installed the dedicated server but when I use the Run.bat all I get is this:

Redirecting stderr to 'C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd\logs\stderr.txt'

Ah alright thanks! Might have forgotten that 💀

[sharp granite]

So there's this girl I like right, but she doesn't play ark. Is that a red flag?

[white garnet]

@bold flint should be able to, performance might be a problem though

[whole reef]

does anyone know how i can up multipliers for breeding and taming in nitrado? is it same as ASE w the game.ini thing?

[obsidian thunder]

What’s this I’ve heard about only being able to make asa servers if you only have 10,000 people in a discord?

[indigo coral]

can you check your dm please? would you be able to explain this to me

[ebon hinge]

That's what I am trying to figure out. I just want instant craft... Cant figure out

i was able to set the server but i can't reach it, anyone good on port forwarding ? i've set some stuff but i don't think it's enough

[mortal galleon]

google change Stop hosting exclusivity for ARK: Survival Ascended and you can read about it

[lusty rivet]

ArkAscendedServer.exe already running. You can only run one dedicated server at a time. Shut down the running server if you wish to run a different one.

I bought a dedicated Nitrado server earlier today, it works and I can play on it, but is there a way to customize more options like stats per level and taming speed and stuff?

[granite inlet]

Hey, we have set the server but we can't see it ... someone can help us ?

[peak forge]

what about two separate pcs, same steam account

[ebon prawn]

thats what im trying to figure out too, it looks like inis are the same between the two games so i wonder if copy/pasting what should be there would work

[ebon hinge]

Grab your GAME.INI from singleplayer, copy+paste in Nitrado and change values there.

for leveling movement:
bAllowSpeedLeveling=True
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True

[toxic heath]

Is the Game.Ini same as ASE?

[wide dock]

has anyone game.ini which is literally like small tribes official?

[vital token]

Is Nitrado the only way to host unofficials or can you do it if you have the hardware yourself? (For ASA)

[hollow ruin]

anyone get any of the ark additions to spawn?

[nimble talon]

Well, I know it's not that many people, but so far my little community is on board with a refund if we don't get any change on this, having to buy a seperate account for a dedi server, not that big a deal, but then to know we can't do squat with just one account. It's a huge disrespect.

[jolly vapor]

any way to auto unlock engrams on level up, hate the points system

[bleak ivy]

same way as ASE

[wise kindle]

They are broken atm. The modder is working on a fix.

[hollow ruin]

ty

[peak forge]

is this true:

• Create a new steam account for your server
• Buy a second copy of the game on that account (the 1st copy is the one you want to play on)

The future:
• Create a new steam account for every single map expansion they release for ASA
• For each of these accounts, buy a copy of ASA

So based on their current design, ultimately we are looking at 12 additional steam accounts and 13 total purchases of the game (your main steam account + 12 servers)

The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, Fjordur

OR

Pay Nitrado an OUTRAGEOUS amount of money per server because they have a global monopoly on commercial server hosting. ```

[bleak ivy]

just let steam log out when you launch ASA, the server still runs

[bold flint]

Does anybody think a tool like ASM will ever be released by another third party for ASA?

[deep flower]

anyone know if there is a game.ini file to adjust mating intervals, etc. ?

[nimble talon]

That is 100% correct

[vernal trail]

Anyone getting a battle eye client not responding error when attempting to join unnofficial servers? I get booted with that error after Helena cutscene

[still jay]

is there a way to enable the markers for your dropped loot? (the green beams)

[bleak ivy]

its not tho, you can just let steam log out when you launch ark its working for me

[neat stag]

@peak forge You do not need to buy another copy. Just run the Server with steam in Offline Mode

[fiery wadi]

When I click on join game it instantly backs out again. Is that because my steam is set to offline or is that just a problem right now?

[bleak ivy]

or that

[merry root]

What ports are the servers running on?

[peak forge]

is it the steamcmd server download or just base game/sp with settings?

[nimble talon]

That's not a solution, that's a workaround. Sure, it "Works" but that's not the right way it should be done, nor should it have to be done that way.

[wise fern]

Volkove made a guide on how to do it without buying another copy

[bleak ivy]

seems to have been removed

will have to rely on water tanks I guess

[lime matrix]

Even with this cumbersome process it's still cheaper in the long run to run your own using vms or small dedicated boxes

[neat stag]

Just the regular steam client. You can probably do it with steamcmd as well, but thats more faffing at the moment

[junior trout]

CraftXPMultiplier for example is a thing with XPMultiplier? Like, base xp * XPMultiplier * CraftXPMultiplier or the specific XPMultiplier overwrites the XPMultiplier?

[cunning thistle]

Woooow is there a way to retrieve your save file?

[sullen skiff]

ASA...make the game look better...take away dedicated server support that was a huge reason for its success. Give us a cookie cutter solution. Wonderful job guys. 👏

[potent fjord]

hey all, for everbody having troubles setting the multipliers. Add the multipliers to your gamesettings.ini and not to game.ini. This are some of the values u can add there.
XPMultiplier=3
TamingSpeedMultiplier=10
HarvestAmountMultiplier=10
PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0.5
PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.5
DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=0.5
PlayerCharacterStaminaDrainMultiplier=0.5
DinoCharacterStaminaDrainMultiplier=0.5
PlayerCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=2
DinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=2
ProximityChat=true
AllowFlyerCarryPvE=true
AllowCaveBuildingPvE=false
ForceAllowCaveFlyers=true
DinoCountMultiplier=3
HarvestHealthMultiplier=10
PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=4

Add it to the first section of the ini

[native wave]

waiting for the linux binaries. my refund has been accepted and is pending. I just want the same support for self-hosted servers we have for ASE.

[bronze bronze]

you guys do know you can run multiple server.bats right? lmao good god the amount of misinformation is insane

[nimble talon]

They check the file against other running copies

[bitter sable]

I'm going to see if I can get it running with WINE. Wish me luck XD

[analog chasm]

The dedicated unofficial server situation is absolutely unsatisfactory. Fix it ScamGames and WC.

[shrewd quail]

[granite inlet]

[regal mountain]

Nitrado banned me from their discord for telling them to get rid of exclusivity 🤣

[ember stream]

someone needs to make us an unofficial vanilla server

[simple bloom]

I'd join that

[junior vector]

Is there any 100% accurate information compiled about hosting your own servers? I see a lot of talk in here, and I have no idea how it works. Can I host a server for me and my friends to play? And not LAN, since that stupid host tethering makes it unplayable

[sullen skiff]

I should have spent my $40 on a lap dance.

[toxic heath]

Is the code for changing stats per level the same as ASE

[worldly dagger]

It's not too late.

[hybrid loom]

[deep flower]

what about egg hatching speed and mating invervals?

[bitter sable]

If I can get this crap running in Linux I'll have a very easy to use docker compose file for you

[hardy sun]

So we can't run a dedi from steamcmd and if I use Steam itself I can't play? What am I missing? There any documentation anywhere on how ASA dedi's are setup?

[potent fjord]

those can be done at in the game.ini,

[nimble talon]

Well, as of now, the lack of an announcement in regards to this, is extremely telling, so likely we're screwed. Nitrado is trash, and the greed is abhorrent.

[balmy iron]

thank you so much

[void chasm]

I refunded, I'll buy it again once/if they sort this server bullshit out

[delicate mantle]

does anyone know the date asa will come to console

[haughty plinth]

I understand the need to buy a copy of each map to host, but why would I need to create a new steam account for each map? Would one additional account owning a copy of each expansion not function?

[latent comet]

ive got a pve server going but theres still friendly fire in a tribe... how can i prevent this?

[kindred shore]

You don't need to buy more copies, just run steam offline!

[jaunty salmon]

Breaking the EULA? 😲

[hardy sun]

I'm missing something here. Using my account to setup my server and can't play because my account is "in use"? I am confused a bit. lol

[haughty plinth]

Well even doing it the "legit" way, I don't see mechanically how I'd need a separate account for each map

[inland geyser]

does anyone know if theres a specific setting for boosting engram point gain per level?

[void chasm]

You can either play the game on your Steam account, or run a server, not both at the same time

[granite inlet]

I have do all of volkoves/mitch guides and i can't see my server ...

[polar dagger]

Stop hosting exclusivity for ARK: Survival Ascended

Unofficial server hosting will not be possible! Either server teams are not allowed to host servers, or they are forbidden to make money with the server license. As a result, servers can no longer be paid for, and server teams will work hours to end up financing the servers themselves. We have to stop this, sign the petition now.

[junior vector]

Thanks, trying it out now!

[jaunty salmon]

Because that's what the license (read: DRM) says:

When you purchase ARK: Survival Ascended on Steam at launch, you can create one PC private server (“Steam server”) for free use, allowing you to invite friends or other community players to share experiences across the revamped ARK maps. With the “Steam server” , there will be limitations that you can expect, including that you’ll be limited to creating a single Steam server for your Steam account, requiring authentication before starting.

[hardy sun]

Nope you can do both. Just figured it out.

[west pagoda]

Are we gonna be able to host our own servers? Currently I can't find anyone to host a server. No one's offering

[keen fractal]

anyone know if there will eventually be unofficialy servers like 100x servers or liek MTS and stuff

[white garnet]

make sure your ports are forwarded and you are not filtering out passworded servers @granite inlet

[fiery wadi]

Do I need to activate port forwarding to let my fiancée play with me (on a dedicated server hosted on my PC), who is on the same network as me? Or can he join by simply joining the local ipv4 like in a lan party?

[wise fern]

lol we have 1000 messages talking about how to host an unofficial server and people getting it working, and then a bunch of people keep coming in saying its impossible... like wat?

[weary summit]

why does my friend keep crashing after like 2 mins of playing. anyone know? dm me please!!!

[whole reef]

pls someone help lmao im so confused and theres no info online

[paper sigil]

Well, technically, it's possible, but just 1 map. When the next map launches, it's not possible to get a cluster started because of these stupid limitations

[frail crescent]

Because in order to get it to "WORK" it needs workarounds. ASE was never this way and they are just litterally trying to stretch every $ possible from an already hurt economy.

[clever basin]

has anyone figured out how to set a unlimited tether distance for non dedicated

[white garnet]

@fiery wadi probably yes, with ASE it still went over steam to connect to a lan server, stupid i know but if its not working then open the ports and hopefully it will work

[polar dagger]

you cant run a cluster on a single server, is the licence from nitrado

[wise fern]

a lot of games have the issue of requiring a liscense for the server app to work, then shortly after release it gets fixed... this is definitely not a new problem

[glass geyser]

@white garnet Could you help me pls i getting an error when i try to start the server, im pretty sure it's with the installation but update don't correct anything, im getting "Application load error 6:0000065432

[fiery wadi]

Alright thanks!

[boreal anchor]

Only the ingame search functionality is working, look for the name of your server. From Nitrado web dashboard, under Settings > General > Base settings > Its the server name, if you set a password make sure to checkmark the show servers with passwords option in ARK as well. If you still can't find it after all that and the server says its online. Contact their support.

@glass geyser try running as admin like niklas said and let me know if it works i will add it to my guide,

[haughty plinth]

Aye, but that reads to me as per map, a single steam server per expansion you own. Not really a gamebreaker. I don't think it means a single steam server overall. There's also some direct quotes from Nitrado saying Self-hosting won't change from how ASE worked, so I think there's just some confusion on the announcement, but that's just my opinion lol.
To have only a single company allowed to rent out servers and control all components of the release of files is a monopoly, and would come with legal issues, no petition needed lol.
We'll have to wait for more official notification.

It's not. You can pull up the SEC documentation on the agreement.

[quaint hornet]

Does anyone know why my admin commands won’t work? I have coded everything correctly but it will not let me do commands

For anyone who needs the specific harvest multipliers for the new berries for their game.ini, here ya go:
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemConsumable_Berry_Verdberry_C",Multiplier=3.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemConsumable_Berry_Cianberry_C",Multiplier=3.0)
HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemConsumable_Berry_Magenberry_C",Multiplier=3.0)
You'll just need to change the numbers as you need em.
As far as I'm aware the old ASE multipliers still work yes!

[violet dawn]

maybe im just dumb but assuming you or me have a powerful enough machine to run two/three servers on the same machine it should be possible to have a cluster in one single steam account, is like copy-paste server files to duplicate the server and change the map and ports on the second server and boom more than one server in one machine?

[gusty rivet]

For any multiplier does the ASE game.ini work?

[thorn obsidian]

Forwarded ports but my server still isn't showing up. Just to double check, what ports do I need to forward?

[glass geyser]

Nop still not, i figured out that it's the ArkAscendedServer.exe that is not working but i can't seem to get him to work even in adminstrator
PS: im can running ASE server without problems only ASA is blocking
Do i really need to put steam in offline, or do i have to let it online ?

[haughty plinth]

It definitely would be, class action lawsuit would be fairly simple, regardless of whatever they signed between WC, Nitrado and Snail.
But the way it reads so far is very similar to how Last Oasis was setup. You had to setup a community steam account, buy the game, and then you could run your tiles. Future expansions (had that game survived lol) would require another purchase, but not another account.

[celest halo]

i have a machine that would do it if can get the server to use differnt cores lol

[merry root]

@thorn obsidian Make sure you have ports added in the firewall (on your pc) and port forwarded on router. You can use 7777 port and query 27015 just like ASE.

[glacial creek]

this server consol is cool its got a built in rcon

[burnt quartz]

Was here for the same thing. We can't adjust harvesting, stam, dino stats etc.

[white garnet]

@glass geyser to run the server and play on a different pc steam needs to be running and in offline mode on the server.

[drowsy estuary]

Does anyone know how to load mods on a deticated server yet?

[fast plover]

How do you connect to it once all done?

[haughty plinth]

The restriction/licensing could also be limited to cross-play, since Xbox and PS profile information is (from what I understand) protected. But we'll see when the dust settles.

[boreal anchor]

Yes they should work, I know smacking a rock with a doed with just 100x harvest settings lags the entirety of an ARK server so i figured other people probably need the list of the items, I have them all I'm just not sure if I can post the message here lmao because its like 50 lines long

[tranquil spade]

are shop apis working yet?

[violet dawn]

Anyway we should be getting an official guide/statement about how this is gonna work, I understand that rn there are more "critical" problems they have to deal with, but 90% of ASE were community cluster servers and if they plan to indirectly "force" people to use nitrado its their death as a company

[torpid talon]

anyone got admin password working?

[white garnet]

@fast plover in the in-game server browser, make sure to choose unofficial at the top, check the show passworded servers at the bottom then search the name in the top right is easiest way to find it

[analog cipher]

what setting and where do I need to chagne to enable movement speed leveling?

[frosty marlin]

having the same issue atm. Says Full Startup but even iof left running for an hour it never becomes avaible on even localhost.

[fiery wadi]

Anyone know how to add the new creature mods that ASA released with to a server?

[celest halo]

bat file can go anywhere aslong as it has path to the exe and permisions to it

[frail atlas]

the offline mode on the game server doesnt work it still tells me that i am already running the game on another pc

[jaunty salmon]

It really isn't. It's spelled out in their agreement, with enough legalise to cover their arses. You don't HAVE to rent a Nitrado server to host an ARK game. You just have to use them to achieve the functionality you had with ASE. Now, if the only option to play a non-official game was to rent from them forever, maybe. But it's not a perpetual exclusive thing. (It could very well be in several years you can do what they do, but not right now.) But that's not the case here. And it's something you agreed to by installing the game. (This isn't me defending them. It's a garbage setup. But not something that you can sue them over.)
And in simple terms, there's a reason that clusters are called "clusters". IE: multiple servers.

[white garnet]

@junior vector I put it in the same folder as the exe, probably best

[raven notch]

So like with the Dev kit, we can't self host still right??? Want to know if we can host multiple maps without using nitrado

[tardy mica]

@frail atlas yeah you can only host a dedi on the same gaming machine you have ARK:SA on really. it works fine

[analog cipher]

That isn't true

We have our private server running the dedicated via cmd line and running ARK SA with the same account on another machine with others playing on the same server

[fast plover]

May sound silly but do u have to have a password on?

[gusty rivet]

I need a game.ini because there isn't one from Nitrado, which is a complete ballache. You're basically hosting a server that's running official settings, that's unofficial

[dusky cape]

the ports are changing for me every time i run it and use netstat
what are the ports

[frail atlas]

i have a separate PC running the ASA server but even in offline mode launching it with a bat file it tells me the game will close

[hardy sun]

It should generate one after your first launch.

[round gate]

1500 player limit in NA @zealous aurora @proven prawn I was my money back

[boreal anchor]

I created a singleplayer, grabbed what i needed from that game.ini, and went from there, I used an older server provider that did the same thing a couple years ago.

[merry root]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=32315?SessionName="YourServerName" -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs -ForceRespawnDinos -game -server

Use this if you want. Make sure you portforward 7777, 27015 and 32315

[analog cipher]

Did you install using steam or steam cmd?

[hallow violet]

I was able to remote download the listing ASA from Xbox using the app but can't do anything with it 🫠

[low dagger]

is that real? lmfao i literally about to purchase but fuck that, ill check back in when xbox releases maybe the steam shit will be over

[white garnet]

@fast plover no you can leave the serverpassword option out of the batch file code and you wont need a password. i just put it in for people who want it. delete everything between the ?'s and one of the ? as well so it will look like this instead listen?Port

[frail atlas]

Steam from the steam DB link people were sharing it adds it as a tool in your steam library, when i tried to install with Steam CMD it was erroring

[hardy sun]

You have to log into SteamCMD with your account. Even then when you try an run the downloaded exe it requests steam.

[loud sphinx]

any progress?

[scarlet lichen]

i've got my batch file in the same directory as as the ArkAscendedServer.exe file and when i launch the bat it says can't find the ark exe file...thoughts?

[analog cipher]

We installed via the steam cmd on our server. What was the error? Did you login with your un/pw or were you trying to do anonymous?

That account will need to be logged into steam as well to run, but then it seems to work and allow you to run ASA on a different machine

[ashen burrow]

How do I join the dedicated server that I'm renting from Nitrado? When I type in my IP, I get 'Failure, Did not find any servers at that address'

[low dagger]

haha bro it is like full time job to be able to play this game with minimal issues

[thorn obsidian]

Still can't find my server in the list despite port forwarding. Any ideas?

[boreal anchor]

Only the ingame server search functionality seems to be working. Copied from earlier: look for the name of your server. From Nitrado web dashboard, under Settings > General > Base settings > Its the server name, if you set a password make sure to checkmark the show servers with passwords option in ARK as well. If you still can't find it after all that and the server says its online. Contact their support. (edited)

[dusky cape]

same as me , it just doesnt work

[gusty rivet]

It didn't xD my game.ini is completely empty.

[torpid talon]

anyone had luck with admin password?

[frail atlas]

I get update state (0x0) timed out watiing for update to start, bailing
error app 2430930 state is 0x202 after update job

[ashen burrow]

thank you

[loud sphinx]

works just as in ase for me

[boreal anchor]

The price we pay for taming and riding dino's into valhalla

[dusky cape]

anyone got their dedicated server to work after portforwarding?

[thick kraken]

So when I have my ark server running it doesn tallow me to go into offline mode

[obsidian tree]

Is there a dockerized Server already available?

[cunning thistle]

Is there anyway we can ask Nitrado for our save?

[low dagger]

i wanna buy but steam is withholding my funds

[bronze bronze]

really? iv had it set like ase and no dice lol

[loud sphinx]

[ServerSettings]
ServerAdminPassword=

and you're good to go

[sharp steppe]

Can i run asa on a 1550 super

[analog cipher]

If you are up for it, try again and these are the steps that I used setting it up

1.) Install Steam CMD
2.) Run Steam Cmd
3.) run -> force_install_dir <install_dir>
4.) run -> login <username> <password> [<steam guard code>]
5.) run -> app_update 2430930 validate

If you run into issues, feel free to update and I can see if I can help

[low dagger]

i think u could pull off low settings(?), once they optimize a bit more. But im not educated in gpus

[thick kraken]

also do we no longer need the peer port?

[pastel bolt]

So are there limitations with the steam server currently available to use? I'm reading it's only available for Windows? Any other restrictions?

[frail atlas]

So actually it works if i run it from C drive but if i set it use my E drive it gives that error maybe steam CMD needs to be installed on that drive too

Edit: Its a brand new NVME 1TB i got for ASA its been formatted as usable space since i gave it a test before

[analog cipher]

How much space do you have on E drive?

[thorn obsidian]

Anyone know where ArkAscendedServer.exe is located?

[pliant jungle]

im able to average 60fps on medium settings which is cool

[pastel bolt]

I'm about to ask for a refund because this just isn't worth it. Buying the game a 2nd time for a graphics update was already rubbing me the wrong way... but paying them to essentially take away our ability to host servers. 🤮

Thanks for your help! we have found it (may battleye doesn't help for this)

[bitter sable]

Some progress. In a steamcmd ubuntu docker container I was able to download the server files

steamcmd +login $STEAM_USERNAME $STEAM_PASSWORD +force_install_dir /home/steam/ark-ascended +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

However it didn't download the ArkAscendedServer.exe file so now I'm stuck. I was going to see if I could run it with wine like so

wine ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=asa?AltSaveDirectoryName=/home/ark-saves?MaxPlayers=20?listen?Port=7775?QueryPort=27030?" -NoTransferFromFiltering -NoBattlEye

[gusty rivet]

Where is the file nested?

[frail atlas]

Its a brand new NVME 1TB i got for ASA its been formatted as usable space since i gave it a test before it seems to be unrelated to ASA issues may just be issues installing onto another drive when steam cmd is on C

[boreal anchor]

[modern pelican]

anyone been able to get the dedicated server tool working? It works over my local network, but cannot be accessed outside of it. I have verified my port forwarding and firewall are not preventing access. It seems like the server just isn't allowing outside connections

[balmy quarry]

Can I get clarification from anyone? Is it possible with Volks guide that I can host and play on the same pc?

[bitter sable]

also I was not able to do an anonymous login with a GSLT token. I had to use my username / password and do an interactive 2FA auth (not good for automation)

[dreamy venture]

Gonna be laggy as hell …also no because you need to buy it twice

[bronze bronze]

yeah i tried that, and then using enablecheats doesn't turn it on bahah

[pastel bolt]

Can you force platform to windows?
https:// developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Cross-Platform_Installation

The real solution is for everyone to just seek a refund and refuse to buy the game until they get rid of these ridiculous restrictions and renegotiate their deal with Nitrado.

[winged sinew]

anyone got any adivce for a friend who has tried every single optimisation, settings, console commands and his game crashes pretty much instantly when he joins?

[bitter sable]

@pastel bolt I'll try that thanks

[indigo harness]

only things left I could advise is windows/driver updates, not a clue what else could help at that point

[silent birch]

Looking for a rp server with svartalfheim

[shrewd quail]

Someone needs to mod item weight reductions while the market is ripe for the taking

[indigo harness]

few commands were found that improved frame rates by quite a lot, but you have to use the console and you have to re-do it every time you restart the game, though it’s not that much of a hassle for how much it can affect performances in a lot of cases

[thorn obsidian]

Seconding this

[river tinsel]

I still can't find my server even with the firewall off...

[analog cipher]

Yes, we have a running dedicated server. Trying to get all of our settings updated, but we have had 3 people connected.

[timid tiger]

Server update is out

[modern pelican]

Mind sharing your launch cmd?

[gleaming kite]

my server listed but cant conetc ! Connection timeout msg 😦 ports open

[merry root]

If you guys are having issues with ports you can check them via canyouseeme (search on google)

[analog cipher]

Server Launch Command is

ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen

This was after we ran the command to get the server started which got our GameUserSettings.ini which we then configured.

ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName=<ServerName>?ServerPassword=<JoinPassword>?ServerAdminPassword=<AdminPassword>?Port=<ServerPort>?QueryPort=<QueryPort>?MaxPlayers=<maxPlayers>

Still trying to figure out how to get movement speed leveling working, but other than that it is awesome

[indigo harness]

people are figuring out dedicated servers and a few of them are up and running, but nothing major for now since it can only be run on Windows as far as we’re aware, no info on official servers unfortunately

[pastel bolt]

Anyway, good luck to you all... I'll be back if/when the monopoly deal comes to an end. Until then, I won't be supporting Wildcard, Snail, or Nitrado. 🤮 Treat your players better.

[dark crypt]

Any way to make yourself admin on nitrado dedicated server?

[limber mist]

anyone elses server keep restarting?

[rugged burrow]

Can you not run steamcmd on linux and run the dedicated server that way?

[indigo harness]

they are figuring it out so not sure, saw a few people talking about it though

[lone birch]

I've never created mods before, but let me ask any of you with knowledge something. The Dev Kit that was released on the EGS.. will any mods made with that also be useable on Steam versions? Console? etc?

[misty gate]

has anyone gotten dino difficulty to work? i have mine at 5 and wiped all wild dinos, still not working

[torpid forge]

this hacking problem is laughable. People can just join ur server and make themselves admin even without the password lmfao. Someone just ruined our entire day's progress for over 50 players.

[celest halo]

they dont have linux binaries yet

[glass geyser]

How can you force your game to update ? my game is in 25.7 and my server in 25.11

[dark crypt]

How did you wipe dinos? i am unable to make myself admin

[compact goblet]

anyone know how to set a nitrado server to the same difficulty as official?

[bleak ivy]

don't think there has been a client update yet.

is there a way to change harvest multiplier, taming speed etc on nitrado servers? couldn't find settings

[celest halo]

they just updated the dedicated server 14 min ago on steam

[misty gate]

you'd have to be admin to do it, you just do enablecheats [password], and then admincheat DestroyWildDinos

but it didn't work, even with setting difficulty to 5

[lone birch]

Yes you have to add the lines into your GameUserSettings . ini file

[humble thicket]

hasnt been working for me even in the ini files

Did anyone already made an pterodactyl egg for ARK:SA ?

[indigo harness]

no cuz no Linux option yet

[near cave]

Anyone got a good server ini they can post in here

make sure you set an rcon password or this will be abused quickly

I downloaded the Asa server from steamcmd but can't find the settings folder for the port and taming speed. Can someone help me?

[gaunt mantle]

are the spawn codes different on ASA?

[near cave]

where do you put the harvest amount for a server into

[lone birch]

GameUserSettings . ini and just put in HarvestAmountMultiplier=X(where X is your desired number)

[viral viper]

Well me and my tech admin figured this dedicated server out without using a steam acc with the game and all ill say is wildcard are pricks.

[crisp lake]

anyone know how to change my nitrado breeding/harvest rates? its not an option

[latent comet]

make a singleplayer settings and then copy it into the server

[scenic ferry]

What's the ID please?

[analog cipher]

it won't be there until you launch the server for the first time.

[limpid cosmos]

That's what I thought but I've started it twice and it hasn't added it in

[bronze bronze]

that nitrado bill must havebeen huge to make a exlusive contract lol

[dreamy venture]

How can i get the breeding timers and xp on my server ? I can't find the ini message me if you can help

[split bridge]

real talk tho how long until we see some of our favorite mods ported?

[limpid cosmos]

App Id is 2430930 for the server. Just can't get settings to pop up

[analog cipher]

What mods are your favorite?

[brazen goblet]

eh; depending on size; up to 3 months. Some won't port

[jaunty salmon]

Never the way things are going. Many creators are bailing out of ASA if the server hosting crap doesn't change.

[patent mortar]

Is there a list of settings I can change on my dedicated server?

[coral birch]

Copy the GameUserSettings.ini from your local save.

[bleak ivy]

most of the settings from ASE work, so the wiki page will have those.

[split bridge]

yeah, I think biggest bummer is ECO making her own game now, I doubt, and she shouldn't prio moving things to ASA

Sven from castles and keeps works on fortnite customs fulltime now I think

And I somewhat agree that creators should bail....$35 a month to host a server for me a like 5 other people to play on is egregious at best

[rose phoenix]

how do i change the amount of weight stat i gain per level I put into it? doesn't seem like it's the same line from ASE

[loud sphinx]

does anyone else have serious problems with inventory updates and crafting on dedicated servers?

[fluid fable]

I hosted a non-dedicated, a friend cant see it, anyone know why? -- what port do i have to forward?

Can you see? If you can then its a port issue.

[dreamy venture]

Is there a dummy guide for installing it from steamcmd?
Do you actually have to log into your account or just install it the public way?

He has to filter for password protected

[tulip mantle]

Can someone help with setting rates on Nitrado server. I have this in the beginning of the [ServerSettings] in the GameUserSettings.ini but still getting 1x rates.
[ServerSettings]
PlayerDamageMultiplier=3
XPMultiplier=3
TamingSpeedMultiplier=3
HarvestAmountMultipler=3

[whole rover]

What are the nitrado terms everyone speaks of

[gusty rivet]

So I added to the game.ini, saved and restarted the server and it doesn't work.

[modern pelican]

does anyone know what the setting is to allow moving the foundation placement up and down like you can in single player?

[limpid cosmos]

You have to type login username and then type the password of your steam account to sign into the cmd.

[thick kraken]

anyone else having issues going offline on server box?

[white garnet]

@dreamy venture search for my quick and dirty guide to set up your own dedicated server, i posted it a few hours ago

[dreamy venture]

Ty Ty!

[zenith kayak]

Being the only partner and therefore having the ability to charge any amount they want on top of the shitty servers and bad customer support. Nitrado is sadly pure trash

[tulip mantle]

Where is this posted @white garnet

[coral birch]

Toutorial HERE

[white garnet]

@dreamy venture and yes you need to use your username and password for steamcmd as for some reason the server license is tied to your account

[brazen goblet]

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=True

in GUS.ini

[lament heath]

So my friend did an unofficial server with his computer, I keep trying to join but it gives me the message joining failed connection timeout. Any clue what could help?

[crisp lake]

trying to find the file i guess?

[modern pelican]

Not pickup, the ability to literally raise and lower the foundation

[limpid cosmos]

Can someone send me the gameuserfile.ini settings from a steam cmd server please

[brazen goblet]

That might be the clipping thing then. bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True
in Game.ini

Run the server program once and it will create the settings file in the \ShooterGame\Saved\Config folder

What is this?

[empty comet]

Dedicated server is a joke

[rugged burrow]

What you mean?

[jaunty salmon]

Check out NeddyTheNoodle 's latest video. He breaks it down completely. tl;dw - You can't host a map cluster like you could in ASE; your only option is to a.) buy multiple copies of the game, or b.) rent a Nitrado server

[timid trellis]

at 40$ a pop

[empty comet]

What Kaoru just said. It's an insult to my intelligence. (not what he said, lol, how the server licensing works). I asked a refund.

[limpid cosmos]

I ran it a few times already. Thw only items in the saved folder are crashreportclient, windows server and consolehistory.ini

[rugged burrow]

Host from steam? There is a dedicated server (will have to be on a windows VPS/VM/Dedicated box

[timid trellis]

Pretty sure it only lets you host 1

[brazen goblet]

I was surprised that Neddy didn't know the game was releasing EA without cluster support until SE.

@limpid cosmos most of the configs from ASE work. DM me for individual commands.

bAllowSpeedLeveling=True
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True
in game.ini if you want speed leveling. It is disabled by default; but feels balanced.

[empty comet]

You also need a DIFFERENT steam account for each license in addition to a VM/Different server. This is completely stupid. We have 0 guarantees they'll allow us to use clusters.

[modest nexus]

I can't even enjoy non-dedicated with a single other person. Disregarding the asinine tether limitation, the game likes to randomly crash every so often with no warning and you end up losing any progress made from when you logged in to the time of the crash. Could be 10 minutes, could be 3 hours depending on how long you went without crashing.

[scenic orchid]

In my ubuntu container, I have it downloading fine with:

/usr/bin/steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir "$dataPath" +login $steamUser $steamPass +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

However running it in wine is failing so far.

Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x16 &
DISPLAY=:0.0 wine64 "$dataPath/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe" $serverMap?SessionName="$serverName"?ServerPassword="$serverPassword"?ServerAdminPassword="$serverAdminPassword"?Port="$gamePort"?QueryPort="$queryPort"

Adding the WINEDEBUG=+all flag before the wine64 binary is the only way I can get any usable logs at all. Even then, I am not sure exactly what the problem is. It seems to be trying to look for the files in the wrong spot for some reason... It has been way too long since I've tried to set something up with wine. I hate it.

[inner walrus]

I’m looking for like 2-3 people for a nitrado server. I have 3 people already and want a couple more to split the cost with. We’re all in college so it won’t be super pvp heavy but chill and just have a good time.

[stiff mirage]

@zealous aurora 2141 is down

[rugged burrow]

OMG you're using it with wine. This is crazy stuff. I can't believe we've been brought to this.

[timid trellis]

I am having this cool issue where the server starts, run for about 3 minutes then crashes, hoping the release a less broken version of the server software.

[dusty owl]

is voice chat not working for some?

[empty comet]

Went from being amazed to now being so furious about this change

[scenic orchid]

I am trying to. I suspect I am still missing some libraries - I just need to figure out which ones. All of my game servers run in containers in my kubernetes environment. I've got 2 2u servers with dual cpus and 128GB of ram each with a gigabit fiber connection. Might as well do something fun with it 😄

[fierce timber]

Anyone else not able to level their flyer’s speed?

[rugged burrow]

Excellent, I love that. I set up a Ptero server on my unraid server in a VM and used the egg's but it's become unstable.
Definitely dont image there will be an Egg released for ASA though.

[regal halo]

Has anyone been able to setup a server on a seperate machine from their game client? Im trying to run an ASA server from my serverPC whilst running the client on my main PC but since it requires a steam connection it doesnt look like that's possible. Anyone have a solution for this?

[celest halo]

put steam on server pc in off-line mode

[somber talon]

what is the appid for the dedicated version?

[rugged burrow]

SteamCMD should get around this?

[hardy sun]

Anyone got the ASA line for admin password in the ini?

[regal halo]

2430930

[scenic orchid]

I've heard of unraid, never really taken a look at it. I just use ArgoCD to manage all my deployments into my kubernetes environment, which is an edge distribution called k3s (k3s dot io in your browser if your interested in that)

[empty comet]

No the exe actually needs Steam running

[fringe vigil]

i keep trying to change max players down from 70, anyone know why it keeps reverting?

[rose phoenix]

anyone know how to change per level state gains?

[tender kettle]

i got a basic 10x server going if anyone wants to join. no rules simple pvp while official gets going
BeachBoB 10x

[somber talon]

Lets try it:) Thank You!

[fiery zealot]

can someone send me a copy of their game.ini, idk how to find mine

[rugged burrow]

So you can't just use steamcmd.... Thats wild

[empty comet]

Well, yes you can download it but then you still need Steam

[dawn plinth]

when i try and execute ArkAscendedServer.exe i get the error "You'll need a new app to open this steam link"?

[charred tide]

guys for nitrado where are the rest of the settings? like harvesting amount etc. im so lost

[analog shard]

HI first time visiting here. I am 100% sure this has been asked but how are the private servers from Nitrado handling Ark? are 10 slots running pretty smothly?

[copper needle]

Can we customize the game rules for double taming speeds for a server through Nitrado? Anyone know?

[rugged burrow]

Wow, Thats lame

[brazen goblet]

same as ASE

[graceful rover]

how to ban someone via nitrado? i have cheaters on my server?

[jaunty salmon]

10 slots are for ASE only. ASA is a minimum of 26. And they're not very good. ASE couldn't handle mods.

[bitter sable]

Yeah that's also where I hit a wall. I knew getting it to run in WINE was a long shot but I had to try XD

[scenic orchid]

Well if this actually does require steam client to be running.... that's a problem.

[rugged burrow]

Using Wine is a good way to lose half a day haha

[brazen goblet]

ASA is doing ok. Its not the best server frame rate though. Its definitely a resource heavy game.

@266280669179543552 I sent you a dm. If they are offline there are other methods.

[wild plume]

I tried to do that on my server but I gave up after a while. Just gonna wait for Linux binaries which hopefully they are released at some point.

[empty comet]

Offline mode doesn't work, running the server still reports it as "running"...

[analog shard]

i mean 60 fps?

[coral birch]

Probably BattleEye doesn't like wine, keep in mind to start the Server with "-NoBattlEye"

[swift jackal]

clown company

[celest halo]

default should be no battleye, they have a -UseBattlEye arg

[upbeat flare]

im trying to host a server but the max level keeps capping at around 70 anyone know why?

[coral birch]

Oh, good to know. How did you find out?

[bitter sable]

no way I'm going to buy this game AND michaelsoft bimbos just to run a server lol

[celest halo]

steamdb page for the dedicated

[rugged burrow]

You dont have to but windows? Just use it in free mode?

[last aurora]

what is a good unoffical server cluster on PC???

[bitter sable]

nah I'll just play a different game lol, I'm not managing a server if I can't use docker

[rugged burrow]

Fair but also, Damn

[celest halo]

same im not installing a windows vm to run a ark server lol

[rose frigate]

Anyone else using nitrado server? Are we able to change the taming speeds and like resource multipliers?

[ivory yarrow]

Did they say they wont support linux?

[thick kraken]

anyone else have status Ticking loop at the bottom of their command prompt

[fierce willow]

They said pretty much nothing so far

[bitter sable]

mabye microshaft will get their shit together and support containers on linux, until then fuckem

[upbeat flare]

im trying to host a server but the max level keeps capping at around 70 anyone know why?

[coral birch]

Sorry, can't find it. Can you specify?

[rugged burrow]

I mean, it's better than paying $45 AUD to Nitrado

[brazen goblet]

yes, but nitrado doesn't have the easy gui set up yet

[celest halo]

steamdb.info/app/2430930/config/ sorry wrong person @coral birch

[lilac carbon]

i kinda need help with nitrado server settings editing

[ivory yarrow]

so we are only limited to 1 server, per account? Is that machine or 1 map?

[coral birch]

Oooh, i was even reading it but didn't recognize. Thanks 😄

[celest halo]

true but im not even buying the game if i cant host a linux server lol

[lilac lily]

The whole self hosted as server situation is a joke. Making people buy a second copy of the game to host it? No clusters? Yikes

[fierce willow]

Its actually more troublesome that theres no offical statments about it

[brazen goblet]

Its quite possible the whole situation is a misunderstanding; but the messaging has been awful and we need a show of good faith from the involved parties

[ivory yarrow]

I mean the eula stated by them on steam store is dumb as well. (store.steampowered(dot)com//eula/2430930_eula_0)

[celest halo]

good luck, they havent even said the dedicated server is available

[proud forum]

I run serwer and it says that it loads the map, but nothing happens and the CPU or ram consumption does not increase.?

[red hatch]

can u change tether distance for dedicated?

[fierce willow]

dedicated doesnt have tether

[lime matrix]

Been getting that too, my guess is a dns connection bug

[brazen goblet]

100% agreed on the eula etc.

[coral iris]

This may be a stupid question but I am actively seeking the education so any help would be appreciated.

My husband and I are experiencing crashes and it seems that the only time the world saves (with the exception of using a console command to force save the world) is when you exit to main menu. This has resulted in us losing an hour of progress, a half hour of progress, and so on. Random intervals and random causes. We both have computers capable of running ark smoothly.

My question is if we go with Nitrado (as the only available option it seems) and do a dedicated server for a month until the crashes are hopefully fixed, can we get the dedicated server save file so we can do non-dedicated in the same map? Or is it a matter of once we start with the dedicated server that's it, we're 100% locked into that monthly payment if we want to keep playing our specific world save?

[earnest jungle]

just to catch up, they released dedicated server appid right?

[ivory yarrow]

No, but we found it with steamdb.

It is windows only.

It is limited to 1 map / per steam account

VVV Nope

[red hatch]

i meant non-dedicated can u change the tether distance?

[lilac lily]

Its unacceptable. And a huge slap on the face for all the community. I can understand a commercial server deal (only nitrado can rent servers) .

Forcing people to rent by taking features away is so greedy

[split sleet]

pls send me a pm, anyone have a nitrado server for asa how did you go about coding in better rates?

[clear spruce]

@arathluir Part of me thinks Nitrado told WildCard they will be official server hosts only IF they also get to be the exclusive host of all servers.

But there is pure assumption and only thing that makes sense to me. Or else WildCard made a scummy deal to railroad us to giving Nitrado money.

[lilac lily]

Since when anyone needs to buy a second copy of a game to host a server and only on windows.... Joke joke joke

[uncut shale]

Why are people “forced” to rent, did they remove single player? I haven’t touched the game yet since I’m away at college and download speed sucks 🤣

[still jay]

it was snail games who made the deal with Nitrado, probably because snail is out of money and Nitrado paid them.

[sturdy kiln]

I think you missed the use of the word community there

[ivory yarrow]

Because a lot of us want to be able to host our own servers for our groups. But we cant host more than 1 map at a time. No private clusters or anything.

[hollow crown]

For changing the Breeding Multipliers where do i have to change these Strings, GUS or game.ini ?

[jolly sentinel]

does anyone know the direct connect command for the console??

"connect xxx.x.x.x" results in "command connect not found"

[uncut shale]

Gotcha, didn’t know you couldn’t make your servers private. I was just confused because a lot of it sounded exactly how old ark was, so I didn’t understand the issue outside of the obvious server uptime problems which comes with new releases

[clear spruce]

So Snail Games makes the deal and then exits stage for everyone else to deal with the fallout?

[lament briar]

You think that Marc Diana and them had no clue about it before Snail made the deal? I am asking what you think lol

[still jay]

I have no idea. I'm just saying snail made the deal.

[sturdy kiln]

They get their money, not sure how steam refunds affect it, or their reporting sales to investors

[compact girder]

The official servers of ASA is on Nitrado too. How come rental ones works smootly and officials keep crashing???

[brazen goblet]

rental are less complicated tbh

[ivory yarrow]

Because rented arent getting 1000+ people tryna join a 70 player server

[tawny falcon]

the nitrado statement needs to be the only thing mentioned in discord right now to gain visibility, general is not awares

[regal radish]

Anyone having issues getting dinos to mate in singleplayer or hosted servers?

[lament briar]

Snail Games won't care even a little. But that's not really Wildcard's choice in that scenario, if Snail made the deal.

[tawny falcon]

the players need to know

[compact girder]

I watched NeddyTheNoodle video about the hosting issue. He was damn furious

[balmy quarry]

Does anyone know how to add mods to a private dedicated server?

[uncut shale]

What was it

[earnest jungle]

disappointing, thanks for the intel

[bitter sable]

This may be a stupid question but if you are hosting a server from inside the game is there any way to turn off host teathering?

[glass geyser]

in ASE at least nope

[ivory yarrow]

nope

[twilit nacelle]

Check out NeddyTheNoodle recent video!

[tired lava]

whats the command to turn on movement speed leveling in unofficial

[boreal rune]

Welcome to nitrado friends🤢🤮

[compact girder]

Refund is 48 hours

[void chasm]

I played for 4 hours, Steam still refunded me

[somber talon]

How to change the MaxPlayers setting? I changed at command line, and in the .ini, but after I started the server its change back to 70 whatever i do.

[lament briar]

So if I'm understanding that correctly, then when another map comes out, you won't be able to transfer to the new map? (essentially guaranteeing that you pay nitrado if you want to transfer between servers on unofficial) Idk how the clusters work, or if you could have a second steam account on another PC to host a second server and put them in a cluster. It has been too long since I looked at them.

[somber talon]

sure, but i tried to decrease

[charred summit]

what value are yall setting RaidDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier to?

[near cave]

Is it possible to fix how low dinos spawn in the island

[dense sequoia]

where are multipliers at in nitrado

[charred summit]

gotta edit config files and import to nitrado server

[keen sorrel]

Dedicated will always be better if you have the knowledge and resources.

[median solstice]

anyone had any luck restarting servers since patch?

[still jay]

ima be pretty miffed if I cant set up a cluster for my friend group

[lament briar]

I mean it's 100% that it says you get 1 dedicated server per steam account for self hosted

[ivory yarrow]

same, im just waiting for a official message before my 14 day refund time is up

[keen sorrel]

Same here. It should be the bare minimum for this game. Private Dedicated clusters should be allowed like they were before. Without it requiring a second steam account and a second copy of the game to run the server because that makes no sense.

[dense sequoia]

which ini are the multipliers in for nitrado?

[bitter sable]

I suppose if you buy multiple copies of the game for each server you still can't cluster them right?

[upbeat flare]

im trying to host a server but i cant level past 30 and whenver i do i lag out of the server

[ivory yarrow]

Good questions, but i dont wanan manage like 7 steam accounts just to have a cluster. Nor do i want to buy the game 7 times

[lament briar]

I don't really know, you may can cluster them. But this is what it says for the EULA:

Running the Application is only allowed with a Steam login that owns ARK Survival Ascended, with one Application instance allowed per login.

[pseudo pendant]

yes and no you'd have to run each server in a separate VM all networked together it just becomes more hassle and more overheads since you need a separate steam account for each server and factoring each server roughly uses around 14+GB ram while empty

[jolly sentinel]

how do we change tame rates and such via config?

[shy shoal]

Noticing an issue that every time I log back into my server, I'm sent to respawn instead of to my character. Any idea how to fix that?

[gleaming kite]

Lawsuit started 😉 90% of win ratio

[worthy elk]

My dad gonna come back before these servers do

[bitter sable]

I'm going to assume they don't even support clustering at all even if you have multiple copies. That seems to be their intention.

[elfin harbor]

Quit making us use nitrado there server are trash and their customer service is just as worse!!!!!!!!!!! Let us choose our own server provider or host our selves!

[rugged dock]

You know what is a fun fact? I have been running the dedicated server on a machine in my home for hours now with all of my friends playing on it. It is sitting at 7gb of memory being used. So how does Nitrado justify charging a price premium while claiming it takes 15gb of memory to run? It couldn't just be greed could it?

[lament briar]

All I'm really getting out of it is that if you want to be able to have cross ark transfer on your dedis, then you're gonna have to have multiple PCs and accounts that own ARK to be able to do it. If they don't support clustering at all if it's not the same steam account, then 100% I will be the most disappointed that I've been in a long time with the game. And I don't even host dedicated servers myself.

[still jay]

you can try. They might give it to you.

[keen sorrel]

Nitrado is pure garbage.

[native wave]

did you even try to refund...got mine with 2 hours played in single player. waiting for linux binaries

[lament briar]

I mean that's good for a vanilla server, but I imagine it would increase by a lot more than that when mods get involved.

[jagged apex]

Yall should have thought about this before spending two hours on a game that at its current state was unplayable. I don’t understand the thought process
