32$ for a dog water server or 32$ for a super self hosted server

[split rose]

Oh, you get about 600-800 a month in donations to keep a full cluster of 70 slot servers running?

[slate ravine]

the hosted server is actually decent for the number of players.

[lament briar]

Right, but the big question is clustering baked into our version of the dedicated servers, and for that we don't have an answer yet. No EULA or Press Release addresses it.

The partnership thing is a whole different argument to be made.

[slate ravine]

partnership was a necessary evil since Nitrado gave them 4 million and wiped out a million in debt

[nimble talon]

Ah, I see we found the Nitrado employee

[slate ravine]

have to sleep with the devil sometimes

[lavish wigeon]

yea think about heavily boosted servers when peeps get huge as tek walls and shit how much more of it its going to use its gonna start going up even more watch and see

[earnest mountain]

if you have a full cluster of 70 slot and everyone that plays on your map donates the $6 minimum ammount you can donate, then yes.

[sullen heath]

because snail games gambled away 1,5b .....

[slate ravine]

who me? lol I don't work for them. I work for a very very large multinational corp.

[shadow hare]

yep

[lament briar]

That's against EULA so be careful mentioning it

[lavish wigeon]

fuck the eula

[steep verge]

I’m not about to pay for a server when I payed $1000 to build a server pc. I refuse to support this until it is fixed.

[pallid tendon]

Good to see you brother, hopefully this shit show will clear up

[slate ravine]

EULA's are meant to be broken 🙂

[shadow hare]

I'm a realist. I don't expect it to lol

[slate ravine]

only $1,000 for a server. that is dirt cheap

[pallid tendon]

Fuck the EULA

[lament briar]

I mean I agree, I normally don't condone it, but in this case I'm fine with it. I'm just trying to protect your steam account because that's steam eula

[honest fulcrum]

You're always welcome back to Addicted if you wanna play some SE 😉

[steep verge]

It was only supposed to be for friends

[lavish wigeon]

tbh the fact that wildcard allowed this to happen is insane if this game flops its all there fault they fucked server owners

[pallid tendon]

Yeah, there is too much money to be made so im not hopeful either

[tough summit]

kinda its a bit grey as it modifies the windows service that ASA uses rather than ASA itself

[slate ravine]

still that is cheap. can't be good hardware for that price. but to each their own 🙂

[pallid tendon]

❤️

[lament briar]

Yeah, idk how it will go, but given that it's steam that would ban you, it's risky

[ruby pewter]

1000 USD is modern hardware go look at paint dry

[slate ravine]

I have never seen a server that cheap unless you are missing a zero.

[honest fulcrum]

Or other games

Can you tell I'm his recruiter LOL

[steep verge]

It runs amazing. We don’t need a good graphics card so we use the onboard

[tough summit]

its not against steams rules to my knowledge

[restive pebble]

For a lot of us self-hosters, our old gaming computer become our servers.

[ruby pewter]

You're clearly from an impoverished country where prices are inflated. @slate ravine

[native wave]

I have an old HP Proliant in my rack downstairs

[pallid tendon]

Haha, I think you recruited me back when I first played with yall actually

[slate ravine]

yeah I guess so. really if you get a cheap mobo and semi decent processor and ram you could probably do it

[lavish wigeon]

so @proven prawn what do u guys have to say about the subject this is serious and needs to be addressed

[honest fulcrum]

Probably lol. I recruit everyone LOL

[slate ravine]

lol love the generalization 🙂 been fun. you know what they say about assuming something

[celest halo]

nice i have an old dell R720 in my rack

[restive pebble]

That's all you really need to host for a few friends.

[lament briar]

Yeah, Idk where it would fall. I'm not gonna stop you by any means, just tried to give warning just incase

[ruby pewter]

Huh the irony in the assumption department

[tough summit]

idc i play single and official just wanted people to know it was out there (do with it what u want)

[ruby pewter]

[lament briar]

That's fair enough then

[pallid tendon]

Well, figured out my problem, only assigned one core to my Ark server, oops

[slate ravine]

anywho back to the nitrado sucks convo

[swift pilot]

Best method to load in to a capped server????

[native wave]

find one not capped? lol

[tough summit]

based o'clock

[lament briar]

You don't

[celest halo]

lol, i do min 2 cores to most of my linux vms

[honest fulcrum]

Fuck nitrado. We need a gif for this.

[lavish wigeon]

on it

[slate ravine]

I paid for a server till Sob3k gets his set up. I wanted an easy fix

[honest fulcrum]

I'm waiting.

[lament briar]

Did they fix people joining unofficials and giving themselves admin?

[celest halo]

a gif lmao, you cant even link to what someone said in this discord without it getting auto deleted

[lavish wigeon]

they are asking to be sued for false advertisement

[ruby pewter]

What's really going to ruin the appeal for this game is the amount of money you need to spend now vs ase. Paid mods, forced paid servers, price for the updated game. I'm surprised they are giving us the dlc for free at 40$ when ase was 60$ with no dlc

[slate ravine]

steam has nothing to do with this. it is all Nitrado

[native wave]

it's all nitrado...steam has nothing to do with it

[pallid tendon]

Yo-ho, yo-ho a Pirates life for me...

[grizzled crescent]

Why is wine so awful to use? I've been poking at trying to get asa server working in wine for too damn long.

[honest fulcrum]

Oh but there's tons of other discords to use it in 😄

[lavish wigeon]

because its not what they said on annoucement of the game

[swift pilot]

Best method to load in to a capped server????

[slate ravine]

technically it is. they just didn't elaborate on the fine print.

[ruby pewter]

How do you get in a bus full of people? You ride on top

[silk drum]

is ark ascended going to be on xbox gamepass⁉️⁉️⁉️❓

[stark basin]

For all thoses that have a server running but can't see it in steam servers, i can help, sent me a PM

[ruby pewter]

Prob what I'm going to do till it's all "fixed"

[slate ravine]

steam just enforces the publishers EULA

[honest fulcrum]

If it gets "fixed"

[celest halo]

in there eyes its not broken so nothing to "fix"

[river rivet]

What setting would help tools not need repaired so frequently?

[lavish wigeon]

not using them helps

[river rivet]

This is true lol

[ruby pewter]

Dinosaurs are your tools with no durability. You ever play ark?

[swift pilot]

Im saying is there any other way than sitting on server screen for 3 hours spamming join

[ruby pewter]

Nope, usually unofficial servers have reserved slots for people but not official

[celest halo]

thats why you go for refund through paypal or you cc company when steam says no

[sullen heath]

to fuck up your steam account....?

[ruby pewter]

Steam bans you if u charge back until you pay them

[lament briar]

Then get your steam account banned and lose all of your games?

[restive pebble]

You guy's don't have 1 steam account per game? amateurs. /s

[lament briar]

Haha pro gamer move

[ruby pewter]

For me as it stands 40$ isn't bad for a single player game. If it wasn't for the unexesarry self hosted issue it'd be a fun multiplayer game.

[halcyon river]

in case you have more than 2 i would recommend contacting steam support directly instead of a simple support ticket i have heard that can work if you explain issues such as performance

[ruby pewter]

Nobody

[lament briar]

Bro, I wouldn't play ark single player if it was the only game that existed

[viral viper]

just popping in to say fuck nitrado

[lament briar]

You'd probably lose unless you were rich lol. Most of the time they can just stall until you run out of money

[spare pike]

I tried to send support an email, and got "this account is no longer monitored" I could not see a single way to get ahold of a human.

[lament briar]

I mean you do you though, I wouldn't stop you lol

[halcyon river]

i have never tried to manually refund a game so sorry if i cant provide good examples but i have heard of people getting refunds with more than 2 hours when i direct contact with steam support so i just though it was worth mentioning

[lament briar]

I would cheer you on going up against Steam, even if I didn't think you'd win. But if you did though...

[heavy gyro]

anyone figure out how to get the taming rates/harvest rates etc verbage working?

[ruby pewter]

Urge mod devs to not make mods it'll force wildcard to pay them or listen to them and allow self hosted

[spare pike]

no problem... I wish i could find ANY way to get hold Steam that isn't some AI bot.

[halcyon river]

if i were you i would try to write a as detailed mail to the steam support as possible explaining why i would want a refund and hope for the best (i intentionally stopped playing at 1 hour 55 minutes in case i needed a refund)

[ruby pewter]

#EndNitrado

[bitter sable]

Yeah, one of those pro boner lawyers

[lament briar]

America in a nutshell

[junior vector]

what is the command to kill all wild dinosaurs?

[spare pike]

did that, returned as undeliverable. account is no longer monitored, but thanks for trying

[cosmic fractal]

yo im running 20 fps with a 3060 ti with lowest graphics anyone got a sulition

[lament briar]

Clouds and fog, I can't remember the commands

[bitter sable]

Yeah, add 20 and maybe you'll get another 20

[halcyon river]

well damn sorry i cant think of any better solutions was worth a shot tough

[jaunty salmon]

🍷 🥄
Fuck Nitrado, let people host their own dedicated clusters.

[lament briar]

Lol, I can get about 100 fps on my 2080 super, but you're right it undoes everything they added

[bitter sable]

Fuck Nitrado; all my homies hate Nitrado

[ruby pewter]

It's on unreal engine 5, it opens up possibilities for mod devs.

You can still have a good engine in a shitty car.

[spare pike]

i was at 5.5 hours before Neds video woke me up to this bait and switch trick.. almost got my avatar designed... 😆

[late sedge]

why is my unofficial server list not the same everytime

[restive pebble]

You can still try to get a refund. Just explain that you spent the time dealing with crashing and trying to get it to run at more than 10 FPS.

[halcyon river]

well nvm found a tutorial that might help will send it in dms

[lament briar]

Now is the car really that shitty, or is the engine the real problem because the people's older transmissions won't ever be able to handle that engine anyway.

[late sedge]

it makes it so awful to find the server i was playing on when i get kicked

[spare pike]

thanks much, will have a look.

[ruby pewter]

That's fair, you can try to be happy with what we have but we shouldn't be because we deserve more.

[celest halo]

hopfully this is a good change Changelist #20875912 12 minutes ago · 27 October 2023 – 21:23:28 UTC Added this app to package Anonymous Dedicated Server Comp (17906) ChangeNumber – 20875073 › 20875912 This changelist affected 1 other packages.

[lament briar]

I didn't come in with high expectations, I played Ark when it first came out lol, and I don't mind waiting, but it's hard to imagine that it's just the games unoptimized state is the only problem. Idk if the older graphics cards will ever be able to handle some of the UE5 stuff they are doing. So some people may just be boned.

[halcyon river]

good luck let me know if it works later

[jaunty salmon]

The game is actually better than ASE. Got in a fistfight with a ichty and won cause I could hit it.

[ruby pewter]

With state of the art programs you need to meet it with hardware. Yes the game is unoptimized but atleast it can be fixed. So we can just hope it gets better. High settings are for good PCs

[elder fox]

there is a petition on change dot org Stop hosting exclusivity for ARK XD

[ruby pewter]

Link? Dm? I need to sign

[celest halo]

dont know what branch its part of, could be branch for nitardo

[jaunty salmon]

Petition won't do anything. People just need to not renew their subscription for the server and starve Nitrado out

[lament briar]

Yeah it doesn't specify which it's for

[celest halo]

steamdb just list it as a change

[ruby pewter]

It says it affected more than 1 package

[celest halo]

public branch has not had an update in 12 hours

none of the branches have had an update yet last one was cachechecks 2 hours ago

[restive pebble]

hoping that's what i think it is. Not holding my breath until we get some official details though

[celest halo]

same or till public branch gets an update and we can check it

[sturdy kiln]

Is the server config command to lock containers the same as it was in ase?

[ruby pewter]

It just doesn't make sense to me, no self hosting + ability to charge for mods. Why would you pay for hosting AND mods.

[celest halo]

same Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...OK Waiting for client config...OK Waiting for user info...OK Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0) Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0) Update state (0x61) downloading, progress: 0.25 (23068672 / 9213724273) Update state (0x61) downloading, progress: 0.80 (73885656 / 9213724273)

[restive pebble]

Also really want linux binaries. I hate running a windows server...

[celest halo]

yeah same i got it downloading on my linux box, so not going to beable to see if it runs lmao

[ruby pewter]

welp mobs dead

[dusky cape]

Okay do y’all’s ports appear to be closed but the server appears on your list?
Can you see me says my ports are closed but they appear in my list

[candid veldt]

Is there a linux server build now?

[celest halo]

steamdb does not say linux yet, and the download is at 50% so wont know if there is linux binaires till its done

[candid veldt]

Ah.. Nitrado is having issues, so looking for other options...

[frail crescent]

So did anonymous dedicated get re-enabled?

[celest halo]

its looking like it, its downloading for me with anonymous login

[grizzled crescent]

Uhh. My download is going through with anonymous atm

[frail crescent]

Im more concerned with starting the server up w/o credentials

[restive pebble]

Awesome, I hope it's intentional.

[grizzled crescent]

Darn. Still not Linux files tho lol

[slate ravine]

what issues is Nitrado having besides people hating them. my server is running great right now. knock on wood

[torpid spear]

I have one setup with my account, would I have to redownload to get it anonymous?

[celest halo]

only Win64 binaries in it

[sullen heath]

with 70 people playing on it?

[slate ravine]

oh no I only have 26 spots

[restive pebble]

speaking for myself, I don't want to pay them $2400 a year for something I've been doing with ASE for years for basically free.

[grizzled crescent]

Anonymouse was removed 😦 (according to the changelog on steamdb)

[frail crescent]

I wouldnt expect Linux anytime soon. Think that will be like on the 3rd or 4th thing on list to get done.

[candid veldt]

Yeah mine was running great until it was in a restart loop. And rolling back doesn't have any effect. Enjoy every moment you still have 😛

[restive pebble]

I think it was 6+ months before ASE got linux binaries.

[celest halo]

should just beable to change the steam command to use anonymous

[dry skiff]

Try restarting it and watch how you will have to wipe your whole server :)
Happened to a lot of people

[slate ravine]

mine was doing that last night but didn't have an issue today.

[dusky cape]

I’m guessing that means they rolled back the 1 person license limit

[torpid spear]

Dope I’ll give it try when I get home

[hardy radish]

whats the best way to host a server right now for a small group of like 5-6 ppl?

[celest halo]

yeah it did

[uncut shale]

What does this change do? Is this the thing prohibiting clusters?

[nimble talon]

Started 33 minutes ago, let's you download without login

[frail crescent]

And now its gone again lmao

[slate ravine]

I really hate how you search for a guide and get clickbait articles that don't tell you how to do it or what the appid is

[sturdy kiln]

I’ll ask again Is the server config command to lock containers the same as it was in ase?

[lament briar]

Don't know what it is yet

[uncut shale]

Gotcha

[celest halo]

you can get the appid from steamdb, but its 2430930

[frail crescent]

If it using Anonymous login, it means it wouldnt be locked behind 1 account, 1 server

[slate ravine]

thanks. been a while since I installed it

[junior vector]

What is the setting I need to change to have normal dinosaurs up to level 300?

[frail crescent]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10

[lament briar]

Be crazy if they removed it again, so that they could add the requirement back lol

Although idk why that code would have been touched unless they were changing it to something else

[celest halo]

the added it 3 times and removed it the same amout lmao

[lime matrix]

Multihome doesn't work so use netstat -b -n and shift your port pointer to whatever it happens to be listening on. It tends to bind to all adapters

[opaque aspen]

looking for a good pve server ;}

[lament briar]

We are waiting for you to make it for us bro

[cinder hare]

Yup I had the same issue. You need to add +1 port range to your port and query port

[opaque aspen]

got it!

[obsidian sandal]

mine is about to go live. it's 3x XP, 5x Harvesting, 9x Tame.

[lament briar]

I want a good 2x harvest pve server I want it to be slow lol

[unkempt inlet]

Anyone know the script line in the game.ini file that controls Harvest Yield?

[obsidian sandal]

no cuz it goes in the gameusersettings.ini

[bleak ivy]

its the same one from ASE

[slate ravine]

ok when I try to do an app_update logged in as anonymous it says no subscription again

[ruby pewter]

I plan on making a vanilla 2x harvest server once the self hosted shit is ready

[lament briar]

Same configuration as original game files

[obsidian sandal]

you have to log into steam to download the dedicated server Syphen

[frail crescent]

And its back on again! lmao

[slate ravine]

someone said they changed it to anonymous a few mins ago

[lament briar]

Yeah they removed the package, whatever package they added let you download it anonymously

[obtuse sedge]

Anyone having issues with maturation? It's not going up at all, and I cant feed the babies either

[obsidian sandal]

orly

[celest halo]

lmao

[frail crescent]

All I can say, if they actually follow through with this, they will win back alot of players

[lament briar]

Try it now, you should be able to anonymous

[cinder hare]

Believe maturation is bugged. But thats with settings. Its super low even though I set it max on my dedi server

[slate ravine]

I just did and it said no subscription

[lament briar]

Weird, they may have added the requirement back in. Those engineers crazy bro

[bleak ivy]

it keeps going back and forth lol

[celest halo]

yeah, i still wont buy it till they make the linux binaries

[slate ravine]

unless someone gave me the wrong app id

[versed pasture]

hmm weird seems like other ppl aree not having issues? might be case by case

[cinder hare]

Yeah it is apparently

[celest halo]

yo-yo mode achieved lmao

[bleak ivy]

try 20876234 (I don't know what any of this means lol)

[lament briar]

Yeah I think that's the server app id

[slate ravine]

shrug. I had to log in to download it

[celest halo]

appid was right they keep on changing it

[versed pasture]

that sucks. me and @obtuse sedge have 3 bbys trying to grow up

Locking containers too?

[cinder hare]

I did

[celest halo]

same lmao

[bleak ivy]

probably, I've only tested the ones I've used (I just copied my ini over lol)

[loud sphinx]

did anyone get MultiHome working?

[lament briar]

I just want to know what they are doing, whether they keep breaking it or what lol

[sturdy kiln]

Well if they can lock then yay

[bleak ivy]

probably just wait a couple hours for when they decide to stop messing with it

[boreal patrol]

is there a way to cap health to a certain number and let the rest of the stats go as high as they want? had a atlas server that did that before so im curious.

[grizzled crescent]

I am between finding it hillarious and finding it irritating. I think I am just going to go get sleep. I've been working on this crap for almost 24 hours straight.

[celest halo]

download the dedicated server Anonymous, nope login to download it, nope Anonymous, nope login........ they cant make up there mind lmao

[lament briar]

I mean there is no telling how long what they are doing could take, that's just how it is doing that

[frail crescent]

I just hope this is for the better.

[pearl forum]

Can we add a kill all Dino’s command on server restart with Nitrado? Went through ini settings and don’t see anything. The way they decided to remove so many options is dumb.

[bleak ivy]

fairly sure that was a launch option for ASE.

[pearl forum]

Yeah it was but not on ASA.

[viral viper]

so can we host clusters now?

[celest halo]

no one knows

[bleak ivy]

I've heard nitrado removed a bunch of stuff, doesn't mean it doesn't work

[viral viper]

fuck nitrado

[vagrant ledge]

Also try to move some setting from gus to game.ini if they dont work, some of the settings worked for me that way

[bleak ivy]

and some options just aren't working right now, like non-dedi tether

I think speed leveling also isn't working

[vagrant ledge]

Works for me

[bleak ivy]

flyer speed as well? heard issues with that one

[pearl forum]

Yeah I have tried some of the original commands and some work some don’t. Best thing is to set settings up in single player and copy files over to Nitrado. When I tried the kill Dino’s command I’m getting a error and still only have 40 Dino’s across the island it seems like. Nothing is spawning. Lol

[violet dawn]

flyer speed doesn't seem to work for me

[vagrant ledge]

yes workes for me Im pretty sure, just logged out so cant really remember

[river tinsel]

People who has been able to run the dedicated server, are you on windows server or another os?

[celest halo]

they been yo-yoing it

[violet dawn]

Also, anyone has been able to use mods in dedicated server? ActiveMods doesn't work now

[restive pebble]

it's windows only right now.

[river tinsel]

Yep but windows server or a normal windows os?

[viral viper]

Are they trying to make it where we cant host im guessing?

[thick kraken]

windows any windows but I took mien down to update earlier and have not been able to get my back up and @violet dawn I have been working on trying to get modsall day

[bleak ivy]

I'm on windows OS but both should work

[violet dawn]

F, it's strange because in nitrado the "ActiveMods" setting isn't in gus or game.ini, seems to work differently as ASE, but I cant spy other nitrado folders for info :(

[ruby pewter]

2430931 is the dedicated server right?

[fast plover]

Just don’t buy into nitrado.

[vagrant ledge]

Okey I take it back flyer doesnt work

[celest halo]

no its 2430930

[thick kraken]

not sure Im not useing nitrado they can piss off. I have my own box im hosting on

[ruby pewter]

2430931 is also the dedicated server according to steamdb

[thick kraken]

app_update 2430930 validate @ruby pewter

[graceful jay]

Everyone who buys nitrado gets the pin of shame

[violet dawn]

I had credit from years ago and rented 3 days servers just to spy their configs and port them over to my dedicated xD

[warped cradle]

since there is not an official hardcore server. we rented one open to the public
UnOfficial with Official Settings:

NA-PVP-Hardcore-TheIsland01

[celest halo]

i get No app was found matching this AppID. when i look for that id in steamdb

[thick kraken]

smart smart lmk how that goes

[violet dawn]

But mods seem to work completly different from ASE to ASA

[soft basin]

hardcore pvp? damn thats rough

[split rose]

am i looking at wrong place or did EULA change?

[violet dawn]

And we haven't gotten any official documentation on how to actually modify dedicated servers so no info about modding them 🤡

[celest halo]

it changed its now ```By using this Software (ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server, the “Application”), you agree to the following:

The Application is intended and allowed for Personal Use only. Running the Application for Commercial Purposes is not allowed. Commercial Purposes includes any revenue generated by operation of the Application which exceeds Application operational costs or tipping.```

[thick kraken]

Yeah the bing chat gpt ai told me to install the mods in single player then drop the folder in my server so i tried that havent been able to get my server back up today, blown it away and rebuilt it like 4 times now

[restive bone]

5157 is down

[pearl forum]

Don’t have much of a option otherwise I wouldn’t 😂

[celest halo]

with the EULA change looks like Anonymous download is here to stay (if they dont change it again)

[swift pilot]

any help on how to set up an auto clicker???

[brave cloud]

So, what, can people start hosting Clusters now with that wording?

[violet dawn]

Well maybe someone figures it out and shares the info with us, or the actual developers make a guide about how to actually use the product we have bought already, but the second one sounds like fantasy to me tbh

[frail crescent]

Sure you do, wait a week or so until this whole mess clears up

[split rose]

probably not clusters yet since even nitrado doesn't support that, might not even be a thing in the game yet

[celest halo]

no one knows how clusters are going to work, or if the steam dedicated will support it or if that will be only a nirtardo thing

[thick kraken]

unfortunatly i agree

[violet dawn]

If that becomes a "nitrado" thing half of discord will burn wildcard/snail down, myself included

[cyan burrow]

server with good rates and no wipe

[thick kraken]

let me install server files under Anonymous

[celest halo]

agreed, but till we get the next map who knows what they going to do

[violet dawn]

ye we will have to wait for scorched to drop and hope for the best

[brave cloud]

Can players install files under Anonymous currently? Has that changed from yesterday?

[split rose]

yes like 4 times

[celest halo]

yes that has changed since yesterday

[violet dawn]

Apparently you can download anonymously now

[thick kraken]

It jsut let me do it

[brave cloud]

Oh that's actually a good change. Strange, and unexpected.

[celest halo]

they updated the EULA also to reflect that

[cosmic fractal]

dose anyone have same problem as me running 15 fps with lowest graphics possible im on a 3060 ti

[split rose]

can you run multiple servers or still only one?

[torpid talon]

#FreeASADedicatedServers

[brave cloud]

So the EULA has been updated, you can now install anonymously...but you need Steam open and its still tied to the account usage to limit you to one per account/purchase of ASA? Am I getting that correct?

[celest halo]

yeah but you can put that in Anonymous also

[violet dawn]

With all the hate they were getting (earned tho) I was expecting something like that tbh, literally everyone has turn against nitrado xD

[split rose]

last patch of public branch was 13h ago so that might change but who knows

[celest halo]

new EULA nothing about needing an account with the game to run it ```By using this Software (ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server, the “Application”), you agree to the following:

The Application is intended and allowed for Personal Use only. Running the Application for Commercial Purposes is not allowed. Commercial Purposes includes any revenue generated by operation of the Application which exceeds Application operational costs or tipping.```

[brave cloud]

But they haven't even announced the DedServ files publicly, either, so who bloody knows, lol.

[violet dawn]

And how exactly are they actually monitor if server owners are earning money from their servers lol

[thick kraken]

Not sure i just unistalled client steam, currently when I launch my bat file it opens and isntaltly closes with no errors. Anyone know the command for removing the new CMD to use the built in windows one instead

[celest halo]

who knows lmao

[ruby pewter]

The new Eula is fine, I literally just wanna host a vanilla and modded server for anyone to join and my friends

[serene shore]

Anyone running it on proxmox? I get a kernel DLL crash

[violet dawn]

It's not like a nitrado employee going one by one checking bank accounts and paypal stuff xd

[brave cloud]

"Oh no, no, I don't charge people to play on my server. I charge people to get DISCORD permissions, that just HAPPEN to have server connection info. Totally not the same!" >...>

[ruby pewter]

Amp is based

[celest halo]

way i read the EULA that would not work as you can collect money to pay for the cost to run it

[torpid talon]

yes new eula seems to allow the collection of money to cover hosting cots

[celest halo]

old one did also, only change is the needing an copy of the game and one server per copy/account

[lament briar]

It did that already, the main thing that was changed was the steam account requirement

[ruby pewter]

Based is a good thing

[median torrent]

It’s only $2000 for the whole year 💀🤌🏽🤦🏽‍♂️

[ruby pewter]

That's okay, you're based. 😎

[violet dawn]

"No mr.nitrado Im not charging for the ark server, Im charging for discord permissions and emojis" lol

[brave cloud]

TELL ME I'm wrong! lol

[ruby pewter]

I tried to use pterodactyl it was just too confusing so I'm waiting for asm to release an asa version

[celest halo]

yes mr nitrado im charging for the ark server, i am not making a profit it all goes to the cost of running it

[brave cloud]

The dev for ASM is no longer with the product, as much as I would love to have ASM for ASA I don't see it happening.

[ruby pewter]

I'm sure the beacon people will take the lead and charge us

[junior vector]

Does anyone know how to change difficulty of server? I'm not sure what file to put the settings in, or even what the settings are. I want normal dinosaurs to go up to level 300

[graceful jay]

I can try to take a look if you want

[celest halo]

i never used ASM i ran my ASE cluster on linux, i made an ansible playbook to install and admin the servers

[thick kraken]

@violet dawn any update on mods? im reinstalling steam on my server box checking if a log in is still required

[celest halo]

yeah i didnt mess with docker, i had each server in its own VM on my esxi box

[graceful jay]

I’ve been looking into this a bit, I’ve never used ansible before but do you think using Kubernetes instead would accomplish the same thing (or both at the same time, I’m kinda new to it)

[serene shore]

Proxmox really isn’t the problem. I don’t think. The game downloads fine. I have steam running. When I go to launch the bat file I get the server console screen for about 6 seconds then I get a crash log of. [CrashReportClient]
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true
CrashConfigPurgeDays=2

[violet dawn]

Not really Its midnight rn where I live so im probably going to bed and deal with it tomorrow, It has been a busy day fighting the configs xD

[serene shore]

In the crash dump it references kernel DLL

[restive pebble]

I was able to download the server files but I'm getting failure no license when I try to start it

[celest halo]

could prob do it, but ansible and kubernetes are two differnt things

[serene shore]

Way different. 🙂

[graceful jay]

Well yes, I guess what I am asking if it’s a one or the other type thing or you could use both. Trying to figure out the most efficient way to run many many game servers

[brave cloud]

So you're able to install the program via SteamCMD via Anonymous, but you can't run the program without Steam open and logged in? ....What's the point of that?

[thick kraken]

alr sounds good get some rest m8

[serene shore]

Ansible will help you build them out.

[wheat atlas]

EULA is changed and we can download now the server version with steam cmd , but trying to run it still miss the license.

[split rose]

might still need wait for files update, who knows what they have in there

[thick kraken]

same thing here

[restive pebble]

That is correct, download, install anonymous, but cannot run it without a license.

[celest halo]

i dont use Kubernets i tried it once and it used more resorces then my docker swarm set up uses so i stopped using it, and my game servers i dont run as docker images, i run them in there own linux vm

[nimble talon]

So if the EULA changed and the Anonymous flag was added, maybe they understood they screwed up.

Or, worse, we've all been upset and it was like that to prevent NDA stuff or something

[onyx portal]

just switch steam to offline mode before launching the server. currently running server with my account and playing on another pc with the same

[celest halo]

you try having the steam client open and not logged in

[restive pebble]

If we get linux binaries, and the ability to self host properly. Proxmox and LXC containers work great.

[brave cloud]

Well that's just....special. Wake me up when they allow anonymous run and we get an actual ASM-like program from the Community. What a joke this release has been.

[long saffron]

On my server I have my max level set to 210 and my supply crate loot quality set to 5.0 but the loot I get is way too op. What value should I put it to make it balanced?

[junior vector]

Does anyone know how to change difficulty of server? I'm not sure what file to put the settings in, or even what the settings are. I want normal dinosaurs to go up to level 300. I can't even get it to work on a LAN server... wtf

[restive pebble]

no joy. open but not logged in just exited immediately.

[wheat atlas]

well public realeses not just touched, so maybe if they update the public ones we might have a way with out license or somthing, nothing confirmed

[celest halo]

might be a check in the binary hopefully they remove it when they update the server, it has not had an update in 12 hours

[split rose]

yeah, last unoff_beta was touched just slighlty after they added it to anonymous so might be that

[wheat atlas]

but there are many changes on the test branches

[restive pebble]

Very well could be. I do not currently own the game, and have no intention of actualy hosting unless i buy it, but if they clean this mess up I will certainly buy it.

[vagrant ledge]

DifficultyOffset=10.0 in Gus worked for me

[graceful jay]

That’s a thing? XD

[celest halo]

i dont own it either, and all my vms are linux so i wont buy it till i can run it on linux. im not installing a windows vm on my box

[split rose]

always has been but didn't do anything in ASE, it does now

[slate ravine]

anyone know why I would be getting this when launching server with the bat file. Application load error 6:00000065432

[thick kraken]

you need to have the steam client installed and logged into your account for licsence verification

[slate ravine]

wierd have it logged in but still gives me that

[junior vector]

what is gus? oh, GameUserSettings

[vagrant ledge]

Gameusersetting.ini

[junior vector]

How do I know what server settings go in Game.ini vs. GameUserSettings.ini?

[lament briar]

look at ASE server guide for the config I think it's the same

[wheat mirage]

Anyone have any luck with ORP?

[dreamy venture]

Anyone have random lag on their servers?
Any suggestions on settings to help it?

[wheat mirage]

Copied over my settings from ASE and no dice.

[orchid geyser]

Where is taming speed setting on ark ascended?

[slate ravine]

how long after starting the server should it take to show on the server list?

nm I was on favorites instead of unofficial

[brave cloud]

Anyone else watching NeddyTheNoodle's live stream on YouTube right now? He started about ten minutes ago.

[cursive gull]

Anyone know why this setting isn't increasing the dino weight at all on my server? It stays vanilla no matter the number. I have this in the game.ini

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[7]=50.0

[spare pike]

yes

[dreamy venture]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=2

weird

[leaden spoke]

\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini -> [ServerSettings]
...
TamingSpeedMultiplier=X.XX

[spice crown]

Is it normal ? I can't see who's online in the server...

[leaden spoke]

I started the server to generate initial configs, then a local non-dedicated server, then edited/copied those over. Got most of the settings. Many but not all are the same from ASE

[thick kraken]

any one know what this is? wp.Runtime.HLOD = "1"

[hard lantern]

NeddyTheNoodle earns money from G-Portal afil links.. so he was salty he will lose income!

[leaden spoke]

I used a local, non-dedicated server to generate the initial list of settings for both files. INote, I found the server needed to be shutdown before I edited the files.

[graceful jay]

he should be salty

[brave cloud]

And? He's one guy, but let's be honest with ourselves - when has a monopoly ever been good for the consumer base?

[split rose]

i mean, probably, doesn't make this entire situation any better, hopefully when public branch gets updated everything will work like it should've from the beginning

[leaden spoke]

In \ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini ->
[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=1.5714
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6

I host my own server but Nitrado has a good guide: server.nitrado.net/en-US/guides/ark-survival-ascended-difficulty-level-server-guide

For 300 use:
[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=2.7142
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10

[novel warren]

anyone know how the new player id converts to steam id

[snow thunder]

Is there any way to enabled or buff character speed on a Nitrado server with ASA?

[nimble talon]

Damn that announcement nice

[agile wasp]

Oh hell yeah

[spare spruce]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[brave cloud]

That's....interesting.

[thorn obsidian]

wonder what Nitrado's excuse for their ridiculous pricing will be now, they used RAM as an excuse before

[fading lion]

That announcement feels like good tidjngs for this channel. 6gb reduction (40%) is wild.

[brave cloud]

So true.

So with those Patch Notes, can we get someone to check that we can launch without Steam login?

[celest halo]

branch has not been updated yet

so dont think it will work yet

[zenith rover]

i will do that now

[agile wasp]

The 6gb reduction is dope as hell, am I understanding the removal of the DRM resulting in the fact that we don't have to fluff around with different computers and accounts anymore when making our own dedis?

[split rose]

yessssssss

[spare spruce]

yep we can have multi servers againn

[trim elk]

You read my mind. They need to go down 40% in price. Otherwise they are pooping into theyr own mouth.

[jaunty salmon]

@proven prawn If that patch notes for the server is what I think it is, thank you guys so much for actually listening. ❤️

[languid vector]

You guys can't help but keep messing up more can't you? What in the actual fawk are you doing? Are you actually trying to delete your playerbase? Might as well just take the game off store and proper test it before you release. What the fawk.

[balmy quarry]

YES. WILDCARD GREW SOME BALLS

[shrewd depot]

I feel like indefinite pooping is more a feature than bug though.

[hard lantern]

wow they actually listened to the community.. shocking!

[agile wasp]

The update has potentially fixed a MAAAAAAAAAJOR issue, calm down maybe.

[balmy quarry]

god i hope this means the server hosting is just liek ASE. hosting clusters in that game has been easy

[thick kraken]

can we put mods on them yet though

[trim elk]

I am just wondering, how you suddenly can optimies the server to take 6GB less... like realy, what was changed exactly.

[split rose]

could've updated depot before patch notes though lmao

[timber karma]

Its literally an early release, it says if you arent ready to deal with bugs wait for the full version release

[torpid spear]

do we need a new appid for it now or can we still use 2430930?

[white garnet]

wheres this announcement i missed?

[snow thunder]

#patch-notes

[agile wasp]

Check patch notes pc.

[celest halo]

they did patch notes before updating the branch

[balmy quarry]

steamdb eula update too

[green cipher]

use the same just updated with anonymous login

[pseudo pendant]

so guessing patch isnt up yet then ?

[torpid spear]

thanks

[white garnet]

oh im dum i was looking in announcements 😛 and thanks @snow thunder

[alpine sigil]

wait can we make our own ded servers now?

[boreal anchor]

do you have high harvest rates?

[leaden spoke]

Potentially a lot of stuff can contribute to that. I assume the goal was to release in Oct so needed to refactor the code base. Likely just keeping too much in memory that was not needed. Getting customer data was likely the key

[dense orbit]

Does this mean that we can finally host our own servers, like we could with Ark server manager?

• Steam DRM has been disabled for the ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server & Anonymous Depot has been available

[brave cloud]

I'm still waiting for the Crunch, and want to confirm that we now have DRM removal for running the server program, not just the install.

[balmy quarry]

anyone able to get the dedi server files to update?

[leaden spoke]

Yes, for ~40 hours now

[agile wasp]

@white garnet You seem to be one of the more knowledgeable ones here that I've seen, am I correct in we don't have to use seperate PC's/accounts anymore and no need for offline mode stuff anymore?

[split rose]

it literally says that, we just have to wait for files patch because for some reason they released patch notes before updating public branch

[honest berry]

Am i reading the patch notes right... clusters are back for self hosting?

[spare spruce]

correct

[dense orbit]

Yes!!!!

[celest halo]

nothing about clusters in there

[languid vector]

An early release lmao? The game is out since 2015. All they had to do is copy and paste the code and ask chatgpt to translate to 5.2. Nothing more nothing less.

[stuck vault]

damn this server is chaos

[white garnet]

according to theory that should be the case, we should be able to run server and game at the same time regardless of offline mode and also we should be able to run multiple servers as a cluster

[stuck vault]

30 minute cooldown in general jesus

[deep laurel]

steam drm disabled?

[timber karma]

to a certain extent yes, but they also didnt have to release it yet. They gave us access. If its so easy maybe you should join the development team, show them your coding skills.

[latent bough]

yup

[zenith rover]

im able to connect Anon to do the update.

[tardy pine]

what is the default difficulty for an Ark server? I dont see the settings in the settings ini file

[alpine sigil]

lets go bby

[stuck vault]

someone cracked it already even though it aint worth the pirate

[white garnet]

LOL i wish it would be that easy

[trim elk]

The only sad thing is, we wont get Ark Server Manager for ASA as the dev stepped down. So, yeah... maybe somebody can make a similar tool with the time

[green cipher]

the crack was there even before asa lanuched lmao. it was crackable with steamless

[languid vector]

Where is the fking transparency, where is the fking honesty? Where is the live stream to introduce the Dev team and tell us about the "new" ark? All they do is excuses after excuses and delay after delay. Realese a trailer on Xbox community only to realese it on pc. Worste company EVER.

[white garnet]

I'm hoping someone else will make one

[wise fern]

and everyone was goin nuts about how ASA was a scam and big evil corporation was just doing a massive cash grab because they couldnt run the server and game at the same time... except they could and the DRM was just an oversight, kinda like i said yesterday

[dapper solar]

My PC’s motherboard set on fire and it’s completely fried. I’m still in disbelief. Don’t try to play below the minimum specs. Edit- Probably also a combination of my old wires behind the desk too but still.

WARNING be careful

[split rose]

where is using a proper chat for correct things?!

[stuck vault]

and it shouldve been free as an option

[timber karma]

Then why are you still here?

[stuck vault]

hey all the chats are shitty rn

[thorn obsidian]

I'm willing to bet they don't change it, and they say nothing.

[zenith rover]

i can do steam anon to patch, but the update isnt pushed yet, still Steam DRM on the exe.

[languid vector]

Do you still not realize it's a money grab?

[tardy pine]

I haven't set a board on fire since the Athlon 64 came out. How did you manage?

[tardy mica]

Steam DRM has been disabled for the ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server & Anonymous Depot has been made available bout fin time

[dense orbit]

Oh damn, I didn’t realize that… yea, hopefully someone can make something similar

[stable notch]

heck yeah

[lean nimbus]

Lol your funny, Wildcard Studio never done that, when Ark first got release, there was no ads about the game or anything they drop a trailer and launch game (sure they where Indie studio at the time) but it's how they do things, they don't need follow other studios and company.

[deep laurel]

sorry i forgot to check the other games in my library that have 6k plus hrs. Indeed your right years of enjoyment horrible horrible ( sarcasm )

[agile wasp]

Every single product you consume is a money grab. Something being a money grab doesn't mean what you think it is. Move to the correct channel doofus.

[wise fern]

do you not realize that if you dont want to buy a product that you're not forced to?

[stable notch]

also another question, i saw that nitrado had the rights to ALL ark game in regards to hosting.
is unofficial ASE servers still a thing or did they got shut down as well?

[trim elk]

Me too, I can kinda code, basic stuff but not sure...would take me too long to do 😄 But honestly, that tool have so many features that make managing clusters a cakewalk. Especialy the discord bot, my family can start/stop server on demand from my ASE cluster as I do not have enough RAM to have all maps running at the same time 🙂 So... yeah.

[dapper solar]

My game froze after rendering too much and as soon as the black smoke came out from the fans I force shut down windows. But my PC won’t turn on anymore , it literally set on fire

[languid vector]

I do, that's why pc is paying to be beta testing for Xbox. Brilliant move. Normally U get payed to find bugs.

[agile wasp]

Ah, yes, beta testing, for a completely different infrastructure, makes sense.

[wise fern]

first off beta testing on a pre-purchased game has been a thing for 2 decades, welcome to gaming... secondly, i chose to buy the game, if you dont want to buy the game then fuck off

[gilded bough]

Do we know system specs recommend for running a dedicated server? Is it the same as ASE?

[spare spruce]

Unofficial is still a thing 🙂 And as per the latest update potentially in a very good place.

[tardy pine]

North bridge is fuggin gone bro. Wow lol. Complain to the board manufacturer, safeguards should be in place to prevent fire hazards. Probably a defective board.

[split rose]

it's not, assuming their "lowering ram use by 6GB" is correct it would be about 2 times higher

[stable notch]

bro, the xbox runs also directX..... thats literally where the x comes from

[languid vector]

Lmao. Are U a new gamer? No it has not been a thing for 2 decades. Up until this day you hlget payed to beta test. If you don't wanna see that, you are clearly lying to yourself. But whatever makes you sleep at night princess

[keen sorrel]

My beef with that program is it would take 5+ minutes to save settings.

[dapper solar]

It’s old and my wires didn’t help. I’m still in shock and just pondering what happened. I just want others to know so hopefully their PC’s don’t set on fire too when playing

[agile wasp]

That's..not..uh..relevant.

[wise fern]

you're a complete idiot if you think this is a new thing... lol i sleep very well at night thank you. you're sitting over here raging at a game though

[bronze bronze]

Oh thank god ram reductions lmao

[white ermine]

Are people still having port issues?

[trim elk]

Yes, sometimes it takes longer to save profies. But usualy when You set up the map, you dont change them that often anyway.

[scenic frigate]

What about CPU? Is it double too?

[scarlet lichen]

unfortunately yes

[tardy mica]

new non-drm version same appid number?

[bronze bronze]

Yeah they just switched it off

[white ermine]

dammit alright, thanks

[stiff prism]

So since nitrados excuse was ram, we should see those min slots come down right?? Lol

[lean nimbus]

I hope someone make's a server management program like from long time ago.

[glossy kraken]

nope 🤑

[torpid spear]

anyone got the update yet?

[pliant ocean]

is there somewhere with info on ini settings? trying to change breeding rates and the old ini code doesn't seem to work

Game.ini

LayEggIntervalMultiplier=0.25
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.01
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=50
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=55

is what I have but argy still has a 3+ hour breeding CD, am I missing something?

[agile wasp]

In a beautiful world that would be the case, it won't though.

[bronze bronze]

Don’t think it was ever said, we just assumed based on self hosted usage

[keen sorrel]

When you're troubleshooting settings it's a literal nightmare of waiting. 🤣

[thorn obsidian]

No, they definitely said it.

[fervent bolt]

hey guys, are wild baby dinos supposed to mature too fast to fully imprint on? or did my server come with some weird rates

[stiff prism]

ARK: Survival Ascended pushes the limits of hardware with overhauled Unreal Engine 5 graphics, dynamic water and interactive foliage! As a result, running ARK: Survival Ascended game servers requires a lot of memory (14-16 GB), and especially compared to ARK: Survival Evolved game servers (5-6 GB), it is around 3x higher. The high server hardware requirements lead to higher pricing on our end and is reflected in the required 26 minimum slots. Unfortunately, there is nothing Nitrado can do about the high RAM consumption and the corresponding minimum slots, but we will constantly evaluate the required minimum slots based on the RAM consumption.

[tardy pine]

I'm actually amazed right now. First off I'm glad your house is still in place. But overclock protection has been built in to pretty much any board for the past 10 + years. Even if you werent overclocking it should have caught the temperature spike and amp draw overload and shut down. Even if it's old you should harass the manufacturer, they might throw you a new one, or an upgrade. That shit isnt supposed to happen anymore lol

[radiant shell]

Yo guys did we win??! last update

[wise fern]

there's definitely some wonkiness with imprinting times

[white garnet]

Make sure you put those settings under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] in game.ini

[agile wasp]

We seem to have, at least this channel won our battle.

[languid vector]

In what world am I raging? I'm clearly pointing out this is a scam team. They made 1.5bil and used it up on a failed ev company. Now they are moneygrabbing to fund ark2. This is my favourite game of all time, it's just the company behind it that keeps screwing up time and time again. All they had to do is host a Livestream and be transparent and honest to the costumers. But no, they released the trailer on Xbox platforms to release it for PC. Worst decision ever.

[radiant shell]

LET'S GOoOOOoO

[fervent bolt]

any idea if it's with all baby dinos? or just wild ones?

[keen sorrel]

Wait, win what? Do we have private clusters again?

[junior vector]

Is there a setting to slow down dino torpor drain?

[spare depot]

Linux support for dedicated servers out yet?

[agile wasp]

You're mixing up snail and wildcard.

[bronze bronze]

General rule of thumb for imprint is if it’s x10 speed your imprint needs to be.1

[near light]

it's just you can install server anonymously for now, nothing say more

[spare spruce]

Waiting for Neddy the Noodles reaction to this news now

[pallid tendon]

Anyone tried using ASM to manage Ascended?

[keen sorrel]

It's a start for sure

[leaden spoke]

I am not an expert but I believe the algorithm is
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=(max level/30)

I am going to change mine and do a cheat DestroyWildDinos to confirm

[radiant shell]

he is reacting right now on stream, bro's happy

[midnight elk]

He's livestreaming now

[fervent bolt]

I didn't change any of the breeding rates it came with, maybe they came funny. I'll try mess with them, thanks

[trim elk]

What do You mean troubleshooting? I usualy dont have problems the settings to not work. When I first started using it, 90% of my confusion was not understanding the settings and their implementation in server correctly. 🙂 But I know what You mean. It is and old app, which is good and bad at the same time. So Yea...

[spare spruce]

oooooooooo I must findi t

[brave cloud]

He's been covering it live, best advice I've seen is to wait for the Crunch this evening (roughly 15minutes from now).

[wise fern]

in the world where you said, and i quote "Where is the fking transparency, where is the fking honesty? Where is the live stream to introduce the Dev team and tell us about the "new" ark? All they do is excuses after excuses and delay after delay."

[thick kraken]

its pretty great lol, however does anyone got their server to run with out steam client yet?

[radiant shell]

don't think so, my goofy internet doesn't allow me

[loud sphinx]

when update files? 😢

[pallid tendon]

Working on reinstalling my test server now

[woven torrent]

Check the Nitrado site, its right there. Cant link here

[pseudo pendant]

havent been able to get the update yet lol

[torpid spear]

anyone got the update yet?

[whole copper]

they haven't updated the dedicated server app yet

[bronze bronze]

Oh, didn't know but thanks

[digital atlas]

Has anyone managed to actually host a private server yet now? I got one up earlier but can't see it on the server list

[cobalt idol]

yeah. still same version.

[leaden spoke]

Mine is, yes

[agile wasp]

Yeah mine's been running.

[thorn obsidian]

Ditto

[pallid tendon]

Im able to DL the server files Anon

[pseudo pendant]

yeah i dont see mine in the list untill i type in part of the name in the search bar even while having it under favs

[heavy trellis]

Yeah mines been running but not everyone can see it in the server list, two people specifically

[ivory yarrow]

So we happy now can host multiple?

[woven torrent]

No problem. Hope they lower their pricing now. They say they might when ram requirements go down

[onyx portal]

anyone know how to get damage numbers to display?

[white garnet]

youre looking on the in game server list and have ports forwarded?

[digital atlas]

Interesting ok guess I'll keep trying

[loud sphinx]

ShowFloatingDamageText=True in GameUserSettings

[onyx portal]

thanks 😄

[languid vector]

So no arguments on your side, just another copy and paste.if you read chat it speaks for itself. Have a good day btw 😊 kisses

[wild mantle]

Has anyone gotten a connectable self-hosted server running on Windows Server 2022?

[pseudo pendant]

has anyone gotten ORP working on asa yet

[digital atlas]

Yup

[junior vector]

Can anyone please confirm what the difference is between PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed and PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add and PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity?

[glossy kraken]

have you tried connecting through console?

[trim elk]

Nothing beats 0$ costs running it in the garage on old PC with 64GB ram and electricity covered by solar, no extra cooling needed 🙂

[brave cloud]

My server setup keeps my house nice and warm during the winter months, and its definitely cheaper than baseboard heating! 😄

[white garnet]

hey thats a good idea i should put my server in the garage now that its cold out lol

[graceful jay]

how big of a panel did you get for that?

[digital atlas]

Console from the client?

[woven torrent]

For sure, i just hope they get less money and start charging normal rates now. Not everyone is tech savvy enough

[glossy kraken]

yeah, console command open ip:port

[compact verge]

any one have in an issue that dino disappear right away when killed wild

[frail crescent]

Did the update drop yet or is it still waiting to upload?

[scarlet lichen]

server update dropped

[languid vector]

1st is the stats of wild per level, 2nd is the taming bonus and 3rd is the bonus added to stats when you level them when they are your Dino

[celest halo]

steam db still says public 12551683 14 hours ago

[proud kestrel]

so this change means in return that while, nitrado is the only host, you could still just rent a server and setup an dedicated like before? So there might be an ASA Server Manager soon too?

[frail crescent]

Yeah thats what im going by, but getting contradicting comments

[trim elk]

No extra panels needed. I have solar on house anyway. The PC I am running the family server on use around 50-70W max during load. So it is nothing.

[digital atlas]

I haven't tried that... where and how does that work? Do I join a random server first or just single player or somewhere else?

[graceful jay]

genius

[west nimbus]

what’s with the lack of server providers? With people telling me that it’ll be cross play (I pc and my bf is ps5) I seen gportal aren’t a server provider for asa? If we play pc/ps5 together would I also be able to play ps5 if my beefy laptop can’t handle? (It played ase in med to high before I upgraded my ram n it currently can play bg3 in ultra)

[compact verge]

any one have in an issue that dino disappear right away when killed wild

[languid vector]

Are you still there bro? Or you actually taking in the chat with all the complaints?

[wintry fjord]

Hopefully! I like "ASM Ascended" more 🤣

[glossy kraken]

should be able to use it anywhere, main menu or in game, just put open ip:port in console. not sure 100% if it works though cause my friend was getting timing out issues when he used it

[woven torrent]

What kind of CPU would i need for a small, say ten slot, server rig?

[scarlet lichen]

internal IP or public IP for the console command?

[celest halo]

nitardo has exclusive rights for being server host provider for 3-7 years (no one is sure on how many years)

[white garnet]

@west nimbus the laptop could probably do it on lower graphics settings

[cobalt idol]

"v25.18 - 10/27/2023 - Minor version for servers" how much time to be available @proven prawn

[stable notch]

nitrado only, except you self host apperently.... the last one is still being discussed, bc wildcard just took a step back from the nitrado frick

[languid vector]

Please take on consideration that I have10k hours on ase. Once you get 5k. We can talk again, please let me know

[west nimbus]

I think with my ram upgrade it would play ase on high considering it plays bg3 on ultra with no issues since ram upgrade. But could I play with my bf on ps5 now? I’m okay being unmodded to just play with him he doesn’t have a pc

[digital atlas]

Ok ill try that thank you!!

[wintry fjord]

they never said with ASE, what makes you think they will say for ASA?? 🤣

[torpid spear]

I still don't have the update

[storm girder]

Does anyone know if there is a code/string to add into the ini file to allow for a greater player carry weight? I looked in both the game.ini and the gameusersettings.ini and didn't see anything.

[glossy kraken]

"Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, for the period commencing on the date of the Cooperation Agreement and ending on the expiration of the seven (7) year anniversary, to grant Marbis the exclusive, non-transferable, global, and irrevocable (i) right to (A) provide the Company with official servers to host and run the games titled “Ark: Survival Evolved” (“ARK SE”), “Ark: Survival Ascended” (“Ark SA”) and “Ark II” (“Ark 2”, together with Ark SA, Ark II" + a bunch of other legal garbage

[west nimbus]

ugh I don’t like nitrado customer service but ty for fast response

[agile wasp]

Get bent, Nitrado

[brave cloud]

Wait. They only have irrevocable rights to provide Wildcard with Official servers? Wait. Wait wait wait. Does that mean they've opened the door for other server hosting services?!

[glossy kraken]

nah that was the bunch of other legal garbage

[white garnet]

bro youre still on that? let it go man...

[celest halo]

when was that agreement made, we could be a year+ in already on the 7

[atomic adder]

70 watt ark serveR? X Doubt

[glossy kraken]

july 26th, 2023

[rustic drum]

wheres this from?

[wintry fjord]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7], like in ASE

[west nimbus]

But gportal and such can still provide ase servers so confused?

[sullen heath]

no

[iron crane]

the whole contract terminates when they are paid in full

[ivory yarrow]

So 31st of October, if the debt plan was followed

[storm girder]

Thank you so much 🙂

[glossy kraken]

thats also covered in the rest of the legal garbage, "(but specifically excluding the servers which continue to host Ark SE in its current version, which shall be governed by Section 6.2 of the Cooperation Agreement)"

[brave cloud]

Yeah the Steam EULA probably blocks others from launching servers, pursuant to the "can't make money off of" bits. Damn,.

[languid vector]

Well I kinda presumed we were in the middle of a conversation. Lol.

[tawny juniper]

get rid of swamp aids

[agile wasp]

You literally just told the dude you had more gamerTM hours than him so his opinions were invalid, that's not a conversation.

[west nimbus]

“Unfortunately, due to the existing exclusivity agreement around ARK: Survival Ascended, we are currently unable to provide you with the best game experience that you are used to. However, we will of course continue to be your partner for #ark-survival-ascendedSurvivalEvolved.” You sure on that no still?

[glossy kraken]

ok i guess i'm not allowed to share that ducument lol

[rapid creek]

Did they open up anonymous install?

[rustic drum]

not yet but it looks like it'll release in a while

[spare pike]

yes they did

[sullen heath]

yes, evolved is not ascended....

[rapid creek]

It's working now I just kicked off an install

[torpid spear]

yes we are waiting for the update to push

[celest halo]

install yes, running not till its updated

[devout rain]

anyone elses Nitrado server stuck in a boot loop with the new update?

[west nimbus]

I said ase not asa

[ivory yarrow]

Actually they can it says up to server costs and “tipping”

[iron crane]

the earliest the contract could end is Nov 5

[rustic drum]

yes 3 times in the past 2 years, their servers are terrible

[brave cloud]

Yeah but that would still stop groups like GPortal from hosting unofficial servers since they wouldn't simply be operating "at cost".

[devout rain]

beleive this has to do with the new update they rolled out directly, im not seeing 1 unoffical server with the new server version

[languid vector]

No I didn't, I asked him to take in consideration that I have had 10k hours.

[sullen heath]

OH... easy missread, so yes 😄

[mellow zodiac]

with the new update can we now host and play on the same machine?

[ivory yarrow]

Oh yea for sure, but it allows like self hosted public clusters that allow donations

[agile wasp]

''Once you get 5k, come back.''
Just stop dude, you're embarrassing yourself.

[torpid spear]

they didn't change the appID for 2430930 right?

[brave cloud]

Here's hoping! Still waiting for the spicy Crunch shortly.

[west nimbus]

for the price of gportal was good customer service n very open when there’s issues in their end. Always had great service with them so im a little peed

[languid vector]

Lol.

[brave cloud]

https ://steamdb.info/app/2430930/config/ lets you check the update times, to figure out when it gets updated.

[opal osprey]

Niiice like those patch notes

[white garnet]

should have just left it at kisses my dude, now you just look like a child

[humble thicket]

Still no linux binaries ?

[indigo sinew]

is there a Linux binary too ?

[trim elk]

I found out, the server actualy do not use that much of CPU if You mainly have only couple maps running at the same time and You have only kids/family friends playing (usualy around 7-12 players on at the same time). So I used old I3 which, yes, is under load when the guys are playing, but server lags are occasional, and maxed out the RAM slots on board, sticked one SSD, and it realy have low power consumption.

[leaden spoke]

internal if your client is behind the firewall.
note you need to port forward UDP/TCP 7177-7178 and 27115 for this launch command:
ArkAscendedServer.exe" "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=<ServerName>?MaxPlayers=30?listen?ServerPassword=<password>?MultiHome=<publicIP>?Port=7177?QueryPort=27115?" -NoBattlEye

I will lock down TCP once I confirm it is not needed. My client is connecting with UDP but I think the QueryPort might be TCP.

[celest halo]

dont look like it, still says Supported Systems Windows

[humble thicket]

meh

[knotty folio]

I heard that Steam DRM on the server has been disabled, but Steam still starts up when I try to start ArkAscendedServer.exe from bat. Can it be avoided?

[celest halo]

public branch also still has not been update, last time was 14 hours ago

[gentle terrace]

has anyone figured out the ini code for baby mature speed? We put in BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10 but it doesnt seem to be working

[celest halo]

server has not been updated since they said that

[bleak ivy]

its working for me, using the same one as ASE

[gentle terrace]

okay, and you just put in the gameusersettings ini?

[bleak ivy]

goes in game.ini

[gentle terrace]

oh okay

[celest halo]

need to wait till they drop v25.18 to public branch, version now still has drm in binary

[knotty folio]

I see, I don't know why it was announced when it wasn't made public, but thank you. I'll check again tomorrow

[quartz stone]

Anyone know eta on v25.18 to unofficials?

[celest halo]

its normal, they always announce before updating public branch

they did it every time with ASE announce, update offical, then some hours later update public

[leaden spoke]

dumb question, where are the patch notes?

[dreamy venture]

Anyone have the how-to for steamcmd ark update?

[celest halo]

#patch-notes

[storm girder]

When those of you that changed your .ini files and had to log in as a single player game to get your game.ini file to popluate, and then copied it over into the nitrado system, did you also get a section at the bottom (on line 130) that says "[ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides]"? And do we need to keep that section? It seems for me to get any change to take place, I have to make changes to both the top part that is titled just "[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]" as well as that Tempoverride section.

[hushed wedge]

Anyone here know how to enable admin coimmands on an unofficial server, and then destroy all wild dinos, in Ascended?

[dire sparrow]

I've seen a lot of day one vets that have channels. That have said numerous things. I just want to get some clarity. What is this issue I keep hearing about Nintrado and is it true? The fact that they would want to charge a yearly subscription. Or make it physically impossible for people to use that engine. I'm just curious to what exactly is going on. Is there going to be a possibility of us to use Nintrado on Ark survival ascended or no? That and does anyone have any recommendations. On how to download and use mods on console for Ark survival evolved? I have so many questions. But I have not been able to ask or haven't found the correct people to ask.

[white garnet]

@hushed wedge same way as ASE have an admin password set, use enablecheats password, then cheat destroywilddinos

[leaden spoke]

Not [Tab] button in game but [`] button above it

[south lynx]

Will the new server branch have strings attached commercial impact or are we still back to square one? It's all or nothing.

[celest halo]

new EULA ```By using this Software (ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server, the “Application”), you agree to the following:

The Application is intended and allowed for Personal Use only. Running the Application for Commercial Purposes is not allowed. Commercial Purposes includes any revenue generated by operation of the Application which exceeds Application operational costs or tipping.```

[spare depot]

are linux server files out yet?

[south lynx]

Lol what a joke

[celest halo]

no

[spare depot]

any idea how long that might take?

[celest halo]

nope, but people said when ASE launched it was a few months for linux binaries

[spare depot]

that sucks, im not tryna spend 40 dollars so i can play with my friends

[celest halo]

im hoping thats not the case, im not going to buy it, till i can run the server on linux

[keen sorrel]

Run a Windows VM for now? Or no ability to?

[glossy kraken]

"Such Games Exclusivity shall not apply to non-commercial, non-monetized servers owned by end-users themselves and for such end-users' own use ("Excepted Servers"):"
i think this clause is why we're now being able to host as many servers as we want. nitrado shouldn't have any authority over user hosted servers

[astral sandal]

anyone able to get ORP working on their unofficial? The command lines dont seem to work as they did in ASE

[spare depot]

server pc isnt running a OS interface as to allocate all recources to running the server so unfortunately no

[keen sorrel]

Dang :(

[celest halo]

i can run a windows vm on my box but im not running a resorce hog OS on it to run a server that needs min 16gb of ram on its own

[agile wasp]

ORP's a mod, it's not out for ascended yet.

[brittle stream]

Hello some of you also have issue with mob respawning on unofficial and/or have a solution for it ? (dinos just barely not respawn after being killed, for example I cleared carno island and more than an hour later no dinos had respawn)

[queen bluff]

I was reading the Snail Games/Nitrado contract that was linked to. Was going to post the relevant section, but @glossy kraken beat me to it 🙂

[thorny cradle]

So basically, if I open up a server, I can accept donations but can't charge people to play correct?

[south lynx]

The monopoly is the bigger concern. This isn't enough. Nitrado cannot be the only host to allow people to create servers.

[glossy kraken]

can't sell stuff afaik, it's not really clear

[agile wasp]

I mean, this is what that means, anyone can create a server now no questions asked.

[celest halo]

im not a lawyer so not saying correct, but that is how i read it

[south lynx]

No. There is still an EULA against "commercial" hosting.

[thorny cradle]

it's what it sounds like to me. I mean yeah. no selling ingame stuff for money, no charging people to play on the server, etc. But you are allowed to accept donations, cause that's what Tipping essentially is.

[graceful jay]

Would they really go through the effort of suing its customers for accepting donations is the real questions

[nimble talon]

That's not out of the realm of most game Eulas though

[glossy kraken]

they wouldn't sue just blacklist you from hosting

[graceful jay]

true

[lament briar]

I mean that's fair, but I personally was way more concerned with them preventing us from hosting several servers to make a cluster. I don't really care about them making a deal with Nitrado, even though I really dislike Nitrado.

[ivory yarrow]

Use win 10 ltcs or whatever its called then a debloater

[celest halo]

Commercial Purposes includes any revenue generated by operation of the Application which exceeds Application operational costs or tipping.
way i read that i can charge people to play on it aslong as its not more then the cost to run it

[agile wasp]

As far as I know, operational can also include costs for upgrades to the server, which noone can enforce really.

[old hamlet]

i value my labor as admin at $200/hr

[glossy kraken]

this is all very vague, like who determines how much hosting the server costs

[ivory yarrow]

Yea and then donations as well

[old hamlet]

and ya i got a few k $ in equipment too

[ivory yarrow]

My guess that was written by someone on quick demand and not an actually lawyer

[south lynx]

It's directly targeted at server hosting companies. They don't want anyone but Nitrado selling or renting game servers

[brave cloud]

But you could also run a server and, sake of argument you make more than "cost", you just roll those funds over to the next month and maintenance, just hold it all in lieu and be fine. You can't spend any of it unless you are doing upgrades or maintenance. That's my understanding of it, even if you make a few hundred thousand.

[agile wasp]

Exactly, it's completely unenforceab le.

[celest halo]

still a hog, i can run a linux os with only 1gb of ram and 14mhz of cpu usage

[old hamlet]

that's my read of the commercial clause too. i dont think nitrado gives 2 F's about private server donos. its just an anti-competitive clause

[south lynx]

They will blacklist IPs from connecting. They can easily enforce it

[old hamlet]

you say that like IPs are permanent

[glossy kraken]

nah, thats got a lot more scary words in it
"SGUSA shall promptly (i) inform Marbis in writing if SGUSA becomes aware of any in-fringement of the scope of the Exclusivities ("Infringement") and provide Marbis with allrelevant information relating there to available to SGUSA and its Affiliates, and (ii) take all commercially reasonable action to ensure that the Infringement is promptly ceased and related damages or other payments are promptly recovered from the infringer.

Marbis shall be solely entitled to any damages or other payments recovered from the in- fringer in connection with the Infringement. Upon Marbis' written request and subject to approval by SGUSA's counsel, (i) Marbis shall have the right to take legal action in lieu of SGUSA - whether in court or out of court - against an Infringement (ii) SGUSA shall, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall (A) issue any deed, declaration or other statement as may be reasonably required or helpful to confirm or perfect Marbis" right to take legal action against the Infringement, and (B) provide Marbis, at Marbis' cost, with any other reasona- ble assistance (e.g., as may be required to establish the existence of, ownership in or right to use the relevant rights)."

[south lynx]

For a server hosting company yes IPs are static.

[celest halo]

in court you would have to prove it, if they sued you

[old hamlet]

well yeah, the point of the exclusivity is to keep other server hosting companies out of the game. i agree

[opal sky]

you can accept cost + tips 10% or cost is a good tip
now cost is subjective

electric bill
internet bill
pc to run on

most high end dedis with windows cost about

200$ +10% * player slot /player joined seems fair for now lol

[lament briar]

They can make you prove it in court and you'll have to provide receipts. If you can't then you'll lose. So they would make you show the costs and where you spent the money.

[old hamlet]

im saying if they ip ban joe schmo from hosting because he took donos. he can just migrate to a new vps. or do some other method for changing ip.

[vestal ingot]

i didnt think ip tracking was even valid in court anymore

[south lynx]

Yes it basically means they are ready to lawyer up and sue the fuck out of small business game server hosts in order to enforce their Monopoly

[brave cloud]

Freedom of Information act, or Internet Privacy Policy? Tricky either way.

[lament briar]

No, it's meant more for other hosts. Same thing FiveM did. Even FiveM wasn't capable of monitoring every individual server. But they could do that if someone reported your server and brought it to their attention if you are making a ton of income.

[vestal ingot]

its bascially impossible to prove though, there are a million and 1 ways to spooof an ip and even force the ip onto others so...

[old hamlet]

my cost is equal to the nitrado monthly cost for a 150 slot server + equipment costs + utilities + labor as admin valued at a rate that i determine

[opal sky]

if nitrado is a good comapny they will cacnle the agreement once they make loan back

[south lynx]

Yes other hosts are small businesses...

[split rose]

lmao they won't.

[opal sky]

yes my rate as a sys admin is like 40$ a hr

[thorny iron]

Anyone know how to fix asa constant crashing

[thick kraken]

damn dude mines like 25

[brave cloud]

Ooooh, that's a good point @old hamlet Does this also include, not just hosting for private servers, but the cost of administration (in terms of employees) to keep service uptime?

[rigid pebble]

How do I save command settings without having myself to re-enter commands when relaunching game? It keeps reseting everytime i launch game

[wheat mirage]

Thanks Wildtown

[agile wasp]

Could one not argue that ones operational costs mirror what Nitrado is asking for a monthly server per person?

[opal sky]

no

[old hamlet]

also any meals consumed during the operation of said servers.

[vestal ingot]

^ and driving an hour in a company car to pick up parts etc etc

[opal sky]

because they alaready have so many servers in bucket and the amount of server they host pays for there head cost

[lament briar]

I mean you could, but that doesn't mean that they would agree lol

[agile wasp]

Hahah, that's fair, my lawyer is rusty.

[brave cloud]

Go whole hog and claim the room you use in your home as storage/office space on your taxes!

[woven torrent]

So how would that work with renting a bare metal server?

[celest halo]

you could but in court you would have to prove that

[olive sleet]

just woke up, awesome to see self- hosting has been returned to the ASE level 💛

[white garnet]

lol so many people talking legal stuff that know absolutely nothing about how it works.

[opal sky]

the cost to rent + 10% tip per player joined

[brave mortar]

is that what that means?

[glossy kraken]

you can sell shit up to the costs of running the server, after that you can only be given donations

[opal sky]

if u go by general tiping rules in america

[sullen heath]

are you sure about that....?

[lament briar]

It would depend a lot on the lawyer most likely. Because they would have the advantage with it being their game and their EULA. But FiveM did this with Zap and basically used it to fuck with any other hosting providers that tried to package the server to a vps, and they didn't really mess with individual servers unless they were extremely grievous

[agile wasp]

Guilty as charged, but it's fun to discuss!

[celest halo]

that would be 20% lmao

[vestal ingot]

as a home business you can claim a room as a business expense if you only have business equipment in that room.

[brave cloud]

Mhmm, that's what I do for my cybersecurity business.

[vestal ingot]

exactly 😉

[olive sleet]

says it Iin #patch-notes
might take a couple hours for Steam to apply it

[graceful jewel]

PVPVE no offline raid server Brand new. 5x hmu for details

[split rose]

over exactly what?

[agile wasp]

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't anything at all involved with the server be subject to costs of wear and tear?

[sullen heath]

But does this also enable server clusters?

[woven torrent]

So technically a company could rent out a server for profit and customers could just install the files themselves

[opal sky]

avaerage server to run this would cost 100-200 $ maybe more
if only cheaper on nitrado cause they share machines maybe 1-5 server per machine

so 200 +1400 in tips
per month

[lament briar]

Close, but you do still have to buy the game for every additional server that you want. It's a step in the right direction though for sure.

[mellow zodiac]

can we host and play on the same machine yet?

[vestal ingot]

hardware, electricity, internet bill etc etc etc

[brave cloud]

As long as you keep your records/reciepts in check, you would "in theory" do just fine.

[split rose]

no? that was removed from EULA

[celest halo]

again if they sue, you have to prove everything or you will lose

[vestal ingot]

yea you have to prove it but if your doing taxes its already kinda done

[glossy kraken]

"Such Games Exclusivity shall not apply to non-commercial, non-monetized servers owned by end-users themselves and for such end users' own use ("Excepted Servers")"
nitrado shouldn't have authority over end-user servers if i'm reading this right. so i doubt that one account per server thing will last with all the backlash it's gotten

[lament briar]

The server itself still checks for an account when you go to run the server. I haven't tested whether it checks if that account is already running a server though. But you can download the server anonymously now

[opal sky]

look as i said bare metal 200$ a month tips 20% per play in total cap
so tips should not exceed that and you should be fine 1400 usd is alot for me

[vestal ingot]

or it should be or u need to keep better records lol

[celest halo]

you pretty much need to be a none profit lmao

[split rose]

no, dmr was removed, it's just not updated yet

[agile wasp]

The patch hasn't been pushed yet, that's why.

[lament briar]

Oh okay, so that's what that patch was then, sweet.

[graceful jewel]

PVPVE no offline raid server Brand new. 5x hmu for details

[agile wasp]

get outta here with that username, wrong channel too dude.

[graceful jewel]

Point me in the right direction mutt

[lament briar]

Sorry about that, I'm on my phone so I didn't see the update in the patch channel

[celest halo]

#1110925695900713072

[old hamlet]

the new build has not been pushed out yet - you will still see steam login and exe checks on the current build of the dedi unless the message below mine is right then lets goooooo

[brave cloud]

New version just got pushed a minute ago!@

[elfin haven]

Im honestly shocked there is no tek sword

[split rose]

wrong well branch

[celest halo]

steamdb still says public 12551683 15 hours ago for dedicated server

[lament briar]

They are releasing content similar to how it was released in the original ark that's why there is no tek sword

[arctic sand]

my ark is stuck in v25.16 and all the servers are in v25.18, I would submit a ticket but i need to be verified and when i click the link they have to be "verified" it sends me to a complete white page where i cant do anything can someone help me please????

[old hamlet]

dollie did nothing wrong

[elfin haven]

basically now you are forced to soak every base and every bit of ammo to raid someone

[tulip gulch]

hey guys i'm just scratching my head with maturation/imprint settings for my server in my game.ini can someone help me to get something that dont take too long and still can 100% imprint the dinos please ? 🙌

[glossy kraken]

dedi server is 2430930

[austere stump]

If I were to host a ASA server through Nitrado (while I make some upgrades to a secondary PC to use for running a server) would I be able to transfer the server from Nitrado?

[celest halo]

that number is build id not appid

[split rose]

that's build id

[lament briar]

That's a stupid ass petition

[opal sky]

they might charge you for your data

[old hamlet]

public build is the build you get when you run app_update so

[slender shale]

From personal experience yes, you can download your backups from nitrado and use them on your local server app. I've dine that several times from nitrado.

[robust nexus]

Is changing the max level of dinos the same as before?

[zenith rover]

update out

[split rose]

yeah public just got pushed

[austere stump]

Awesome, thank you!!

[celest halo]

is now public 12557882 37 seconds ago

[vestal ingot]

if anything dolly needs to get paid more lol... cant believe she can deal with some of this shiz xD

[tardy mica]

yup new one is downloading

[celest halo]

maybe if i have seen a post from her in here over the past 2 days but i havent

[restive pebble]

beat me too it

[opal sky]

anyways they have to sue host to get your info
then try sue you personally

your server gonna have to be making 10s of thousands before they come after you just incase you have recipts and they dont wanna loose

[naive river]

if i buy a sever from nitrado will it have the same horrible delays as the official servers?

[lament briar]

FiveM was never able to stop the individual servers, the most they ever really got was the host to take your vps down. It'd probably be the same for ASA.

[opal sky]

but good luck sueing server host that start offering bare metal or vps servrs with instuctions on how to install your self

[past crane]

probably, nitrado hosts official servers too

[lament briar]

Haha, that's exactly how they did it, they weren't allowed to host the files, so they just provided instructions on how to download and install it.

[celest halo]

yeah i dont see them spending the money to go after someone or in less its worth it for them

[knotty field]

I've been seeing things how nitrado will ban any hosted server that take donations to run the server is that true?

[olive sleet]

do you? It says Allows Anonymous Download which means anyone can download without logging into Steam.

[opal sky]

no you can take cost to run plus tipping

[agile wasp]

Operational costs and tips are fine.

[opal sky]

so tipping rules is 20% per player slot by amreican standards
so 200$ a month + 1400 in tips

[zenith rover]

I confirm update is working without Steam installed on my dedicated machine.

[past crane]

no you don't have to buy the game for every additional server anymore. The only real issue with what they have now is that it isn't available on linux yet

[sly storm]

hoping someone here can assist me, but trying to set max wild dino level to 450 on private unofficial server.
MaxDifficulty=True(game.ini)
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=15.0(gameusersettings.ini
did dino wipe after saving the files and restarting the server.... what am I doin wrong?

[lament briar]

Don't know. I know that you can download it anonymously. If they removed the DRM, then the account check is likely gone altogether

[zenith rover]

That is correct no more DRM i was able to launch my server without steam installed at all.

[restive pebble]

it appears to be runnign without a steam login

[wild mantle]

Were you able to get it running on 2022? Sent a friend request as well

[celest halo]

it is they removed the account check part from the EULA

[lament briar]

That's great news then

[restive pebble]

Any news on clusters?

[zenith rover]

im going to test a 2nd instance now. 1 moment

[celest halo]

new EULA ```By using this Software (ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server, the “Application”), you agree to the following:

The Application is intended and allowed for Personal Use only. Running the Application for Commercial Purposes is not allowed. Commercial Purposes includes any revenue generated by operation of the Application which exceeds Application operational costs or tipping.```

[restive pebble]

running 2 at the same time, and having them in a cluster are different. i'm not sure what the instructions they have to setup a cluster, but I really hope they aren't as janky as ASE

[celest halo]

all the account check and one server per account stuff is gone

[severe marsh]

Yeah it all worked fine once I installed steam on the server as the EXE had DRM on it and needed steam to run.

From the looks of it DRM is being removed but will take a little while for steam to update it.

[zenith rover]

Confirmed i was able to start 2 instances.

[agile wasp]

@zenith rover I choose to believe you, and for that, I celebrate.

[wild mantle]

Ah, were you able to connect to the server via the server list too?

[zenith rover]

i am celebrating right now. i can now run a PvE and PVP server seperatly 🙂

[severe marsh]

Never tested that far just tested to the point of it running. But don’t see why it wouldn’t

[brave cloud]

Can confirm, install and running of the program from SteamCMD anonymous.

[lament briar]

Best news I've heard today then

[celest halo]

now we just need linux binaries lmao

[glossy kraken]

wonder how many server accounts are gonna refund now

[zenith rover]

Im super hyped!

[wild mantle]

Could you check? That is where I am having great difficulty, can't see it or connect; and I was able to get it working locally so easily just not on windows server 2022

[olive sleet]

Great job Wildcard, thanks for listening and changing fast 💛 Will pick the game back up now and start hosting for some friends <3

[pallid tendon]

Does the value for baby mature speed still work in the ini?

[lament briar]

Bro, I tried to tell people to not buy server accounts yet until we know for sure lol

[white garnet]

yes

[agile wasp]

Big W, now we just need some genius to make an automatisation tool for the .ini and servers will be a breeze.

[zenith rover]

i will be testing Linux functionality shortly here.

[brave cloud]

Big facts right there.

[olive sleet]

You can set up your Singleplayer settings, and then copy the .ini files to your server for easy config.

[celest halo]

i have it downloaded on my linux box, but not trying to get the windows binaries to run

[severe marsh]

I refunded in protest of the stuff they have now gone back on.

Do you have firewall on your server enabled? Could be that.

[wild mantle]

I already added the ports, but the dedi server adds an exception automatically so it should work out of the box. I never had to open ports on my local computer for example, just forwarded the ports

[agile wasp]

Kinda? There's a bunch of server exclusive settings that aren't touched by singleplayer, but that is a way to make it way smoother yeah.

[supple gate]

can anyone ping me on the settings to use to get 2x gathering with dinos and without them?

[smoky crown]

are all Nitrado servers having issues? we haven't been able to get into our server since midnight last night

[wild plume]

I actually have it all installed and pre-setup on my Linux server ready to go, they just need to throw me the Linux binaries and off I go :), we're so close, gimme!

[celest halo]

i dont have it set up, im not buying the game till i have the linux binaries lmao

[orchid knot]

Has anyone had this pop up in their dedicated local server? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Land_465 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, DISABLING!

[proven blaze]

steam dedicated server still wants Steam ASA license.

[orchid knot]

It is happening in land_465, water_107 and water_413

[main apex]

Yo

[celest halo]

did you update it

[white garnet]

yeah ive been getting it a lot, and several other people have gotten it too

[agile wasp]

There's no way it does, because it's launchable without steam.

[violet tide]

yeah I can't figure that out.

[proven blaze]

I just installed it 15min ago for the first time and it wouldn't launch at all w/o steam client, and when I installed steam client it required login and popped up saying no licenses. I'd post SS if i could upload here

[white garnet]

@proven blaze is it running 25.15 or 25.18?

[celest halo]

it ws just updated like 17min ago, maybe you got the old version

[violet tide]

They just updated it 13 minutes ago

[split rose]

if you started download more than 17 minutes ago it's probably still old version

[restive pebble]

I tried setting up a cluster like you would with ASE and it seems to be ignoring it. However the string ClusterId does appear in the server binary.

[bitter sable]

Any word on linux servers / docker support?

[celest halo]

nope

[sly storm]

hoping someone here can assist maybe, but trying to set max wild dino level to 450 on a private unofficial server.
MaxDifficulty=True(game.ini)
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=15.0(gameusersettings.ini
did dino wipe after saving the files and restarting the server.... what am I doin wrong here?

[celest halo]

no linux binaries

[bitter sable]

Supposedly there is a steamcmd windows container but I don't know anything about windows containers. I think it's pretty new still.

[violet tide]

Anyone happen to have figured out whitelisting? I've tried with -exclusivejoin and PlayersExclusiveJoinList.txt but I keep getting denied when I try to join

[restive pebble]

yeah, but linux is just nicer in every possible way ;-)

[bitter sable]

Maybe I can run windows in virtualbox and deploy a container there. Removing the DRM is huge. Having to 2FA to start a server was rediculous XD

[hallow verge]

will they come?

[serene shore]

im at a loss, i have run ark server from when it came out. 20+ year of IT. have my own servers ( vm's ) I can dl the game via steamcmd or the steam client. when i run it from my bat file <start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName=Mostly Harmless Server?AltSaveDirectoryName=TheIsland?listen?ServerPassword=thepass?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015? -NoTransferFromFiltering -NoBattlEye> it only runs for 6 seconds before giving me a crashdump. but if i run it from the steam page it stays up with a tick loop but doesnt have any ports that its listen on.. wtf is this shit

[bitter sable]

Yeah. If I have to use michaelsoft binbows I want to isolate and automate it away as much as possible so I don't have to smell its shit 😆

[celest halo]

your guess is as good as mine if they will

[thorn obsidian]

Try DifficultyOffset=15 instead of OverrideOfficialDifficulty=15.0, that's how mine is working

[frozen basin]

anyone have link to new EULA ?

[proven blaze]

lol, yup i just pushed while I was in here typing messages.

[white ermine]

yeah, we've been dealing with this all day too. There's a lot of us that are having port listen issues, guess we just kinda have to wait until it's fixed

[orchid knot]

I don't even have a game.ini for the server it literally only gave me the gameusersettings ini, and ive been able to play on my server twice now, with my wife on there aswell

[hallow verge]

aa

[serene shore]

dm if you find anything

[white ermine]

will do

[serene shore]

ill do the same

[wild mantle]

Try resetting your world files

[hollow hemlock]

Has anyone been able to get the breeding config settings working for ASA? We have increased them on our server, but not seeing a difference in game.

[bitter sable]

I mean they love monopolies so much maybe they want to make sure microshaft gets a turn on us

[scenic orchid]

god damn it lol

[vocal socket]

Not through nitrado

[wild mantle]

I still can't see my server on the server list myself, I was able to get it working locally just fine just not on my server

[serene shore]

it doesnt create the saves yet

[celest halo]

store.steampowered.com//eula/2430930_eula_0

[lilac phoenix]

so i had this issue (dont ask why) but when i made the name of my server all one word it worked

[wild mantle]

What OS?

[white ermine]

yeah, i've tried everything under the sun for this, but for some reason it just simply won't stick on my server. I will keep looking but I think i'll just have to wait for updates

[vocal socket]

BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=
MatingIntervalMultiplier=
MatingSpeedMultiplier=
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=
bDisableFriendlyFire=

none of these seem to work with nitrado servers putting in game.ini .. even tried in gameusersettings.ini for giggles

[serene shore]

server 2016

[thorn obsidian]

Did you put the breeding settings in game.ini? Not gameusersettings.ini?

[wild mantle]

do you have the latest C++ dist installed?

[serene shore]

yes

[wild mantle]

I've gone so deep I know exactly what's wrong I think but I am still not sure how to fix it

[celest halo]

did you update it in the past 25min

[hollow hemlock]

I thought ASA only used a GUS, unlike ASE. If it also uses the Game.ini like ASE, then no, we didn't do that. We put all our normal Game.ini config into the GUS

[white garnet]

it does use game.ini and gameusersettings.ini for the server

[proud forum]

Delete MaxDifficulty=True in game.ini file

[nova hill]

OK so installed new version of ASA server and I have the firewall setup for the program and the ports and the server loads and it seems fine but nothing will show up via the ip and port or even 127.0.0.1 and the port number. Also it says ticking loop at the bottom of the server window any idea what I could be doing wrong?

[proven blaze]

you need quotes around session name

[candid zinc]

@serene shore i send you a kit and some explaining on this server

[thorn obsidian]

Yeah it also uses a game.ini. Create one in the same folder as your gameusersettings.ini if it's not there, and put something like this in there:
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.1
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=25.0
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=20.0
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1.0
LayEggIntervalMultiplier=0.5
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=8.0
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.05

[wild mantle]

I would check your config formatting then, odd; I hadn't had these issues in 2022

[supple gate]

why did nitrado have to make it a pain in the ass to setup servers to change rates?!?!?!

[humble thicket]

When will mods be added? Ones like S+ and awesome spyglass

[celest halo]

when you port them over

[thorn obsidian]

Awesome spyglass isn't -as- needed anymore since the tek binoculars do what they did now

[white garnet]

once the mod makers update them

[hollow hemlock]

Awesome, thank you! We'll give it a shot.

[spare depot]

anyone know if nitrado has any sort of refund policy or anything?

[humble thicket]

Still the tek binoculars arent accesible early game and youd have to hold them to see stuff

[celest halo]

and dont the person that made S+ work for WC now

[bronze bronze]

server update come out yet?

[clear spruce]

Profit before quality and service.

[thorn obsidian]

Yes.

[bronze bronze]

awesome, cool

[nova hill]

Same thing even with "" around the session name. :/

[wild mantle]

they do, I have gotten some refunds

[spare depot]

do you know how it works? i may succumb and just buy a server but ive heard they are known to be shit and i would like a refund if that is true

[cyan burrow]

whats the update code for steamcmd to update ark dedicated server

[celest halo]

2430930

[thorn obsidian]

app_update 2430930

[obsidian sandal]

has anyone figured out how to get the mods to work on self hosted dedicated server? I added ActiveMods= to the GameUserSettings.ini I am curious if i have to preload the mod onto the server, and if i do, where exactly I put it. do I mimic single player ?

[cyan burrow]

cant u login anonymous now or do u still need a account that has it

[wild mantle]

I bought one, it sucked, I got a refund like 12 hours later lol

[swift bay]

sorry, to butt in here, trying to set up on a dedi, game downloaded etc, but not appearing in the game listing. ports are opened, any ideas?

[thorn obsidian]

You need to log into an account for this update, but after this one, no.

[cyan burrow]

ok ty

[celest halo]

dont need to for this update,

i downloaded it and dont even own the game

[thorn obsidian]

oh really? I had to for whatever reason

[cyan burrow]

what u login as stole

[molten sedge]

Anyone had luck increasing spawn levels? Haven't seen anything over lvl 25 on my server.

[celest halo]

Anonymous

[woven wraith]

you need to do a dino wipe island is noturious for low lvls

[median jewel]

can we run them anon now or what?

[viral viper]

Is this update live now?
