[white ermine]

set your steam account to online and launch it once in Steam, that should fix it (at least that's how it got fixed for me)

[brave cloud]

Remind me, whats the website to backcheck there's no Port issues on your server?

[sly storm]

You are a lifesaver! thank you!

[thorn obsidian]

Yes. Make sure you have MaxDifficulty=True in your game.ini, and DifficultyOffset=5 (5 being max level 150) in your gameusersettings.ini under server settings. If you don't have a game.ini, create one that looks like this in the same folder as gameusersettings.ini:
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
MaxDifficulty=True

Do a dino wipe after that.

[white ermine]

canyouseeme.org

[brave cloud]

Thanks!

[celest halo]

does that check udp ports or just tcp

[nova hill]

So is this right for my bat file? start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?QueryPort=27015?SessionName="ARKNATION ASCENDED"?MaxPlayers=70?ServerPassword=5150?ServerAdminPassword=5151 -nosteamclient -game -server -log also those are not my passwords hehe

[white ermine]

man i swear to god if that's been my problem this entire time i'm gonna throw myself onto the next shuttle to space and open the airlock with only me in it

[bronze bronze]

you should forward both tcp and UDP for this

[cyan burrow]

i used steamcmd to install it never messed with steam so what do i launch

[white ermine]

and at the very least, i've been doing that. Hasn't changed much, though, and canyouseeme still doesn't give me responses

[celest halo]

im going to guess it dont check UDP as i just tried it with my valheim server that i know is online

[mint peak]

Ah okay, only a 30 second cooldown here... Anyway, so yeah, personally hosted, dedicated ASE servers...

[obsidian sandal]

Has anyone added mods to their dedicated server yet successfully? If so could you provide a few steps so I can get the mod loaded?

[bronze bronze]

canyouseeme will also give a blocked response if the port is currently used

[celest halo]

even if tcp is fowarded it wont work if server is only opening udp

[ivory yarrow]

You cant check udp ports unless something responds

[gentle sail]

How can my cluster admins get a dedicated cluster set up? For asa

[bleak ivy]

fairly sure it means it no longer requires steam login. which should mean ASA will have self-hosted clusters

[mint peak]

Hoping to figure that out myself. We've been running Ark for quite some time, and there's a lot of our members wanting to move on to ASE

[split rose]

no one knows if clusters can be done yet

[celest halo]

when i use one that does UDP it shows as open for my valheim server, canyouseeme.org shows an error for it

[cyan burrow]

application error when launching .bat file 0xc000007b

[gentle sail]

They have a dedicated set up its just not showing

[bleak ivy]

yeah, still nitrado only

[lilac phoenix]

so i almost have my dedi server up, however, is it going to be possible to add mods in the future?

[split rose]

you can't use other server hosts for about next 7 years.

[thorn obsidian]

Let me know how that works for you! 😄

[gentle sail]

Theres a petition against that

[sonic pawn]

i had same issue, change MaxDifficulty to false, as max dif says in game force max level 150 dinos, worked for me setting to false.

[mint peak]

I thought the seven year thing was going to be for if WC/Snail failed to release by Halloween

[split rose]

petition was about something else that did get fixed few minutes ago

[cyan burrow]

application error when launching .bat file 0xc000007b any help plz

[gentle sail]

Theres a new one against allowing only nitrado to host

[rigid helm]

will be possible to download your server files from nitrado once the "what if" scenario with our own servers comes into play? Cause so far it seems pletny stuff is locked there

[split rose]

petition can't do anything about contractual obligations.

[sullen heath]

yeah, that wont do anything

[bronze bronze]

the massive fucking lawsuit lol

[split rose]

what

[celest halo]

this does udp www.ipvoid.com/udp-port-scan/

[solid herald]

I’m just happy player servers will actually be a thing now maybe

[bitter sable]

Can we get a fucking petition for Linux server binaries pls XD

[mint peak]

🤔 Well, apparently pointing out a certain law against creating a monopoly on a service/product is automodded

[rigid helm]

its nothing but lagfest on nitrado really.. andwe only have 26slot server rented for one month, every day huge several second lagspikes with occassional server shutdown and cople minutes of rollbacks.. we did not had lags like those in our own servers for 7 years straight

[obsidian sandal]

Has anyone successfully installed a mod to the dedicated server?

[cyan burrow]

application error when launching .bat file 0xc000007b any help plz

[obsidian sandal]

paste your bat file

[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)

[gentle sail]

Nitrado is gonna kill the game completely

[cyan burrow]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=Dragon Milkers?ServerPassword=bacon?ServerAdminPassword=asdasdgtggwggasfaf112515?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20 -NoBattlEye
exit

[ripe tundra]

O.o

[proven blaze]

need quotes around session name

[glad jacinth]

@plush crystal do you just sit on here and delete messages all day

[brave cloud]

Alright folks, question. Windows Server 2019 Standard, verified on router and Windows Firewall that the ports for 7777 and 27015 (set in .bat) are cleared. Going to CanYouSeeMe still says its not visible. Thoughts?

[supple gate]

can anyone share the harvesting settings they have?

[cyan burrow]

but i get the application error when it tries to launch arkascendedsever.exe

[nimble talon]

I noticed mine in the config is 7783 but it actually is using 7784 according to WIndows

[obsidian sandal]

try this:

start ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=Dragon Milkers?ServerPassword=bacon?ServerAdminPassword=asdasdgtggwggasfaf112515?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20?" -NoBattlEye

[celest halo]

that site dont check UDP, try www.ipvoid.com/udp-port-scan/

[brave cloud]

I'll do that.

[supple gate]

my server i hit a rock onces and it breaks hardly get resorces

[obsidian sandal]

make sure this bat file is in the same folder as ArkAscendedServer.exe

[bitter sable]

I'm going to name my server Dragon Milkers if you haven't already beat me to it XD

[plush crystal]

nah not really, been struggling with ark most of the day

[celest halo]

you also might need to foward port 7778 on ASE it was set port and port +1

[glad jacinth]

w response, micro aggression revoked

[cyan burrow]

says to errors for arkasendedserver.exe

[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

[cyan burrow]

lol

[charred garden]

Always deleting my messages for NO REASON. I just wanted to find my own discord kitten

[plush crystal]

Go outside and touch some grass might find a kitten out there

[charred garden]

Says the discord mod……

[thorn obsidian]

lol

[violet tide]

Can confirm, adopted a stray by doing this a month ago

[plush crystal]

thats awesome

[distant kite]

I just adopted a real kitten, gf thought we needed another cat and the little shit is chaos incarnate 🙂

[glad jacinth]

GROUNDBREKING DISCOVER, CATS ARE OUTSIDE, THANKS ARK DISCORD

[fiery solstice]

not sure what you mean by verified on router, but you might need to go to your routers settings (can be accessed by typing in the default gateway address in ipconfig of command prompt) and forward the ports. make sure the ips under the ports are set to that of the device which you are hosting the server on. I do remember when I hosted a server, my ISP was blocking it through NAT and I had to call them up to get them to fix it.

[brave cloud]

I'll try that, thanks. IPVoid says ports are open and filtered, so firewall is doing its job, but shouldn't be blocking traffic

[glass estuary]

Anyone wanna tribe up on a 20-50x

[brave cloud]

Verified by looking at my port forwarding and also setting DNZ for the time being, just to make sure.

[celest halo]

yeah i got open/filterd when i checked my valheim server with it

[fiery solstice]

aight

[rigid helm]

our cluster on ASE inclusing every single map, 3 moded server and 1 VIP map, thats 16 servers just for ASE, 4 conan servers and minimal ten more different project servers on our own rig paid from just our owner pockets and only other source of income is from voluntarily donations for lifetime VIP status.

Not even nitrado is forcing us to rent their sheety server, we even have to use money from people who are most likely not even interested in ASA as most donations came from conan people. And what worse, its not even working smoothly.

• there is no guarantee that we will be able to use save files once wildcard launches option to run dedi servers.

If i knew money goes to wildcard, I wouldnt had issues with buying licence on my own, but this entire nitrado is just so bad on every single page, we almost just shut down ASA project entirely today.. just 2 days in lol

[novel warren]

anyone have any idea how to add mods to servers x.x lmk please 🙂

[glass estuary]

Anyone wanna tribe up on a 20-50x

[celest halo]

you can run a steam dedi now

[bronze bronze]

considering the changes to the steamdrm stuff, i would assume we will get a cluster announcement soon

[bronze bronze]

you always could lol people just seem to have overlooked that part in their RAAAGE

[celest halo]

only for past 2 days

[granite barn]

Oh wait. We can host now? I was upset about that lol.

[bronze bronze]

we literally have been able to since like 12hr's past launch

[brave cloud]

Okay. Presuming the proper ports are open, and the server cmd window is operating, I see a cmd line stating "w.Runtime.HLOD= "1" - is that where the server should be at, code-wise?

[celest halo]

App ID 2430930 for dedicated windows only

[rigid helm]

aint that steam hosting that "test play" full of limitations ?

[granite barn]

lol. I bought it yesterday and all I could find was you had to pay nitrado

[rigid helm]

this pretty much...

[bronze bronze]

thats because people are reeeing and not spreading correct information

[granite barn]

thanks

[celest halo]

an hour ago they removed the limition of haveing to own the game to download and run it

[novel warren]

have any info on how to add mods to servers yet lol

[granite barn]

nice; do we know if we're gonna get a linux variant? Cron jobs help management so much lol

[rigid helm]

im desperately waiting on that announcement for whole day now.

[celest halo]

i have not seen any

[proven blaze]

9gb

[cyan burrow]

Got my server running thanks for the help all

[quiet trellis]

If I understand correctly we don't have a global chat anymore?

[novel warren]

ours went from 32g to 16g now with 36 people on

[pallid tendon]

Baby related ini edits go in gameusersettings or game.ini?

[bronze bronze]

the tldr is as it stands, for anything self hosted you can use what ever, for company wise nitrado has an exlusive 7 year hosting contract for ASA and ark 2

[thorn obsidian]

game.ini

[brave cloud]

Oh, I'm a dumb. I forgot I put a period in the server name. Yep, up and running. Thanks, rubber duckies!

[celest halo]

was announced 2 hours ago they removed the DRM ```v25.18 server and client - 10/27/2023 - Minor version for servers and clients

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

[pallid tendon]

Thanks

[silent horizon]

Hey, guys.

I'm trying to set up some settings for my dedicated server. Could someone tell me what settings go in gameusersetttings.ini and what goes into game.ini? Things like harvest rates, movement speed enabling, dino settings, and whatnot?

[quiet trellis]

empty server using 23gb

[bronze bronze]

have 15 on after restart and its at 11gb

[thorn obsidian]

movement speed enabling goes in game.ini, harvest rates and (I think) most dino settings are in gameusersettings.ini

[tidal igloo]

Anyone know hpw to fimd a server, didnt note it down n update deleted fav server, went into all and my survivors gone

[granite barn]

Yay; installing Server now 😄

[rigid helm]

damn, how could I miss this..

thank you, you really saved my sanity now

[silent horizon]

Much obliged. And there's not really a place I can check, right?

[bronze bronze]

because you're to busy being angry instead of reading 😛

[obsidian sandal]

you always could host.

[bitter sable]

Going to see if I can get this working in virtualbox... do I have to buy windows to run a server?

[rigid helm]

I was busy with taming doedicurus with 10sec lag spikes last 3 hours

[jaunty galleon]

I can't even find where mods are stored in the local files for the client lol

[granite barn]

@bitter sable shouldn't need to

[thorn obsidian]

The way I figured it out was hosting a single player game, changing the settings in game, and seeing where each setting went in the .ini files. That's the only way I know of to check for sure.

[celest halo]

for now we only have windows binaries
no ETA on linux ones

[novel warren]

it was a really roundabout spot ill type it out

[scarlet lichen]

I see some servers up that are running 25.18 but when I try to update mine on steamcmd it says already up to date..any ideas? i'm running 25.15 currently

[molten sedge]

Raised my difficulty and now drops are OP, any way to work around that? I just wanted higher level dinos..

[silent horizon]

That'll have to do for now. Thanks!

[brazen wave]

Is anyone having issues on there servers with dinos spawning? '

[quiet trellis]

you guys know how to enable global chat? Or is that not a thing anymore?

[celest halo]

try without validate in the steam command

[jaunty galleon]

I have found that it does still use the ActiveMods=XXX in the ini so maybe changing that and manually copying the mod files could work

[proven blaze]

To setup harvesting/taming settings you need to use the Dynamic config system from ASE.

[radiant shell]

Congrats to "Awesome SpyGlass" for the first mod conversion of ASA, 0 downloads! And I'll be the first >:)

[novel warren]

steam>steamapps>common>ark survival ascended>shootergame>Binaries>win64>shootergame>mods

[granite barn]

Same Startup system or does anyone know of a wiki for ASA servers?

[novel warren]

we are gonna give that a try will let you know

[pallid tendon]

For faster tame interval, do you want a lower or higher number?

[spiral palm]

has anyone gotten custom ports to work or are we still stuck with the default ports for self-hosted servers?

[pallid tendon]

I dont see it???

[granite barn]

I can try after I start up this initial and let ya know what I find.

[obsidian sandal]

it's definitely there. i installed it but trying to figure out how to get the damn thing active on my self hosted dedicated server. there's no infromation explaining how to do it

[hardy verge]

Anyone know a way to see the MOD ID of a mod here on ASA????

[nova hill]

is it suppose to say ticking loop at the bottom?

[spiral palm]

ty ty

[granite barn]

just realized I might need to change the map name lol

[jaunty galleon]

Does anyone know how to join a server, should it show up ingame in the server browser? all my ports are open and should be the same that i used for ase but i can't find my server when it appears to be running

[nova hill]

that is my problem too

[celest halo]

TheIsland_WP is the map name for the bat

[static hamlet]

My asa server app quits as soon as it attempts to load the map, not sure what is going on

[devout rain]

how are some of you getting your servers to pull 25.18? Ours is stuck in a loop

[eternal geode]

(I asked this about a week ago and didnt get any answers so imma try again)
A question for those hosting their ARK server on a dedicated server/VPS: I have the misfortune of having to use windows to host an ARK server, however I wish to install a control panel for use with ARK and perhaps some other game servers. Does anyone have any recommendations/experience they would like to share with me that work with Windows 11?

[celest halo]

curseforge website has a project id, dont see a mod id

[granite barn]

Mine just was automatically on that. Have you alreayd updated?

[devout rain]

ours has been trying, its stuck in a boot loop and it downloads, installs, shuts off restarts and tries to pull again

[granite barn]

I was thinking I might just write something in C

[nimble talon]

Mine is fine, showed up in the list too

[celest halo]

right now it can only be hosted on windows so no misfortune there lmao

[cyan burrow]

My server i dont see just saying ticking loop on bottom

[bitter sable]

I am trying to get it "working on linux" through virtualbox, I tried WINE last night and it was not happeing XD

[nimble talon]

Mine took about 15 minutes of being up to show

[spiral palm]

I built my own control panel web app in JavaScript and Python since I couldn't find one I liked. But the https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup has one recommended at the bottom of it I've heard some people like. (if it still works)

[celest halo]

ARK Server Manager does not work with ASA

[verbal pewter]

Thanks for reporting on WINE....now I don't have to test it.... lol

[bitter sable]

I knew it was a long shot but I had to try

[scarlet lichen]

Fuck you. Congrats and I'm jealous lol

[woven marten]

Ark server manager barely worked for ASE.

[hardy verge]

That's the mod id. Just figured it out.

[spiral palm]

Ah. Strange... my web app dropped into controlling my ASA server with no issue... guess that software works differently

[coarse walrus]

Would you be willing to share? 😄

[eternal geode]

Well im working with ASE

[spiral palm]

sadly no. It's in pre-alpha stages. I've considered making it public on Github but I'd need to put substantial work into it to get it public friendly.

[coarse walrus]

All good

[eternal geode]

Is ARK Server Manager really good?

[woven marten]

Use CMD methods.

[eternal geode]

The intention is that people who dont have access to the machine can have 24/7 access to the server management panel

[delicate hill]

Are the servers down

[celest halo]

it might let you do settings that are same, but dont think it will install mods now that they not steam workshop, and if appid is hard coded it wont update/install the server miss read thought you where play ASA not ASE lmao

[cyan burrow]

do u just add the game ini file or is it located somewhere else

[sonic pawn]

i got my server up and running ons erver pc, but does anyone know how to install mods yet?

[molten crane]

i was about to ask the same question

[obsidian sandal]

i tried to mimic the way mods are added on single player but it didn't work for a dedicated server, so I am also waiting for guidance on how to add mods

[graceful jay]

Does anyone here have experience running a Proxmox HA cluster server? I just have some basic questions i wanted to clarify if someone doesn't mind.

[urban musk]

yes

[serene cypress]

is anyone getting the UnknownFunction Fatal Error crash when trying to start the server?

[graceful jay]

@urban musk ill dm you

[cyan burrow]

server not showing cant even find it from ip adress

[nimble talon]

Mine is fine, but it keeps overwriting the game settings lol, do we just set it to read only?

[pallid tendon]

Is awesome spyglass causing rolling restarts?

[cyan burrow]

mine stops at wp.runtime.hlod and says ticking loop

[white ermine]

Is there a list of server settings somewhere (like leveling/breeding configs/etc.)? i might've missed it. if i did, i apologize lol

[nimble talon]

That means it's running

[white ermine]

whoops i didn't mean to reply to you 🤣

[celest halo]

i have not seen one, most been using ASE settings

[icy aurora]

Is there alot of unofficial servers that had corrupted world files? Both servers we played on has been fully wiped within 1-2 hours

[cyan burrow]

yeah mine aint ethier lol

[tawny elbow]

something about the Awesome Spyglass mod on curseforge smells off... the original mod on steam is about 3MB, the one on curseforge is 63, and that mod author is a complete unknown. I'd be sus at this point about that one

[cyan burrow]

i dont see one gameuser ini in file and thats it cant find out where to change files at for breeding etc

[olive sleet]

hahaha I think the AMP community is working on a Template for running the server, but aside from that there's no plans for an ARK Server Manager equivalent that I know of

[obsidian sandal]

the awesome spyglass discord has stated the original mod creator has disappered and this version is a stolen one. someone downloaded it and tested it and says it doesn't even work.

[vital shadow]

any1 gotten transfers working yet?

[tawny elbow]

it got pulled, the placard is there, but if you click it, 404 error... so much for testing and validating mods before they get posted

[obsidian sandal]

lol transfers don't exist right now

[vital shadow]

i mean on unoffical

[slate ravine]

well there you go lol

[obsidian sandal]

transfers.do.not.exist.right.now

[cyan burrow]

how do i mess with my server settings???

[tawny elbow]

seems like try and do what you did in ASE because nothing is documented for ASA

[celest halo]

edit the ini files

[nimble talon]

I pretty much just copied the server settings section from my ASE server and saved it in read only, if you don't it overwrites it

[vital shadow]

so where do you get this from?

[nimble talon]

There's only one map...

[obsidian sandal]

it's common knowledge bro. clusters are not a thing yet.

[vital shadow]

it is possible to have 2 server with same map my dude

[obsidian sandal]

the MF option is not available right now. there is no such thing as transfers or clusters right now.

[vital shadow]

HOW DO YOU KNOW? where do you have that infomation from?

[honest fulcrum]

technically there's svart as well

[celest halo]

nitardo dont even how clusters what makes you think the steam version will

[split rose]

yes it is but clusters won't be a feature At launch, ARK: Survival Ascended will not support CrossARK or server transfers. This feature is expected to release when the Scorched Earth DLC releases in 2024.

[obsidian sandal]

how do I know? i pay attention to what's going on.

[split rose]

that's literally on nitrado and if they don't have it then we won't for sure

[vital shadow]

thanks this is useful 🙂

[dry quarry]

wasn't SE coming out in December

[nimble talon]

Younger generations have tons of information and don't know how to use it lmao

[lilac phoenix]

any suggestions on my status being stuck at ticking loop?

[split rose]

thought so too but that's the direct quote so uhh?

[nimble talon]

Idk if it was you that asked, b ut that means it's running, should be a green dot

[jaunty galleon]

I have the same issue

[lilac phoenix]

right but its not showing on unofficial though

[nimble talon]

Likely because your ports aren't properly forwarded, would be my guess

[obsidian sandal]

ticking loop is normal mercury. mine is saying this but i have multiple people playing on the server just fine

[lilac phoenix]

how do i go about properly forwarding?

[nimble talon]

Depends on your internet setup, used to be a site called portforward. com but idk if it still exists.

[static hamlet]

I've seen video of people's logs saying "something something server has started successfully", mines not doing that, just sitting at ticking loop

[nimble talon]

It says that for me, b ut it is before FUll startup time, which is odd, but it's there

[nova hill]

I have ports 7777-7778, 27015-27016, 2720 all open for TCP and UDP on my windows server and still nothing! nothing shows up :/

[granite barn]

anyone have a valid startup batch? Not sure what's going on with mine or if it's working, but not finding anything promising. Getting Spawner Warning now in the console, so at least that's something xD

[serene cypress]

anyone encountered the fatal error server crash with the UnknownFunction error logs?

[restive pebble]

Thanks for finding that!

[lucid slate]

Yep

[nova hill]

I get that spawning thing too

[swift bay]

me too

[granite barn]

oh okay, so the server might still be booting up

[brazen goblet]

This is a really generic error code. It could be one of hundreds of problems. If you are on your own hardware install the physx redist from nvidia. Also find the visual C all in one redistributable.

I think the spawning error is for everyone and just a bug in the code.

[celest halo]

they are still working on things for the dedicated, they have new builds in test branches

[dawn plinth]

ive spent the last 2 days trying to get a dedicated working, do they actually work?

• Server port 27135/27040 show listening on server
• externally port 27135 is not open, port 27040 (RCON) is
• firewall specifically set to allow all ports binary uses, also separate policy for TCP and UDP ports used
• reduced server name to ASCII characters in case of issues
• tried running with and without battleye, no difference
• new steam DRM update allows server to run without Steam being installed and logged in
  ... still not working, tried on 2 different servers

[brazen goblet]

Munki, DM me an invite to a discord and I will take a look over things with you; if you are willing.

[viral viper]

Hi jw is 25.18 out for dedis to download?

[cyan burrow]

how long do u need to wait for server to show up

[sonic pawn]

took only 1 minute for mine to after got to tick status

[spiral palm]

so my server's doing the same as a lot of other peoples': not showing up in the game browser. from what I can tell it's not opening the query port. is there some magic to this? lol. I'm using this in my startup script and have this set as settings in [Server Settings] Start-Process .\ArkAscendedServer.exe 'TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7799?QueryPort=30011

[viral viper]

anyone able to answer this

[nova hill]

It's not opening my ports either

[sonic pawn]

yes

[obsidian sandal]

i saw a dedi that was 25.18

[granite barn]

are port and queryport actually passing? Mine were just logging them into the admin password

[celest halo]

its been out for 2 hours

[glossy kraken]

how do i connect to a server with the open command and input a password?

[ripe kindle]

Been having same issue, only difference is that I can connect and see the server but people ion the same house on same netowrk do not see it, along with steam's favorite's section showing it as Ark SE Ragnarok map

[sonic pawn]

issue i do get if anyone knows issue, the server console says spawn warning a lot then spawner failure failed to spawn 20 time sin a row

[cyan burrow]

does queryport and rconport need to be same???

[spiral palm]

no I didn't have that issue. mine's jsut not doing the thing lol

[obsidian sandal]

they need to be different

[topaz solstice]

restart

[nova hill]

This is the odd thing, I have ASE setup on my server too and it uses the same default ports and it works fine. ASA using the same ports won't even show up or act like it's running, says it is but nothing.

[brazen goblet]

How is your firewall set up? By executable or port? If the former it explains things.

[lucid slate]

Anyone successfully running the newest patch with a save from a prior one? Ours is crashing on startup now

[nova hill]

I have the exe setup for both servers and I set the port manually for each server.

[wild mantle]

Saw your message on the steam forums, we seem to be having the same exact issue

[nimble talon]

Whatever port you specify, just like the old ark, you need to open the port after it, so 27135 and 27136, at least that's how mine worked

[glossy kraken]

anyone else had an issue where occasionally ark server will open as a white box and not actually show anything?

[nova hill]

My ports are settup like so 7777-7778, 27015-27016, 2720 so all of those are open for both games.

[wild mantle]

And if you have the .exe added as a catch all exception on UDP/TCP you shouln't need to specify the ports anyways

[nova hill]

I have both games added and I even tried taking away the manual setting of ports and still same thing.

[urban nest]

anyones install say 2%

[wild mantle]

Add me?

[glass schooner]

I'm having trouble with a friend joining my new server. My wife in the same house can join, but not my friend remotely. I'm assuming this is a firewall issue because of that. Anyone know how to check if my friend can ping my server to verify he can communicate?

Or anyone know why I can't "Invite to game" on Steam?

[nimble talon]

You're late to the party bro, we know all this already

[cyan burrow]

i want my server to work in my house but its been up for 20 mins now still hasnt showed

[tawny elbow]

they already released the SteamID requirement

[lucid slate]

They've already rolled much of it back lol

[sullen heath]

did you sleep the last few days....? ^^

[tawny elbow]

no, that part is still under contract, but you can run as many of your own servers as you want

[celest halo]

dont need to pay anything to play with my friends, when i can host my own server. should not realy on bad info from youtube

[lilac phoenix]

im getting a server console crash after ticking loop any suggestions on what the issue could be?

[olive sleet]

No other 'providers' can host servers, but we are free to host our own as we please again

[lucid slate]

Did it start after the newest update? Mine's crashing on startup now and it was fine before

[lilac phoenix]

i just tried it with the newest update

[celest halo]

only time my dedicated is offline is if i shut it down

 Install
 Watch
App ID    2430930```

[tawny elbow]

I think Tucker is confusing non-dedicated with dedicated unofficial

[celest halo]

i think he has be miss informed by youtube lmao

[lucid slate]

Those videos were accurate, they're just stale now

[olive sleet]

^

[tawny elbow]

well, that too... Nooblets did the same thing today... even his info was wrong before the changes...

[lilac phoenix]

yeah i crash at 18 seconds in each time any ideas?

[lucid slate]

In the same boat looking for a solution, unfortunately

[celest halo]

some where not accurate when they where posted, i have had the appid for the dedicated since yesterday morning

[olive sleet]

The only thing I agree with Nooblets about was this self-hosting issue, but has been resolved now. Otherwise I think he just likes milking minute things as ARK destroying for clickbait.

[lucid slate]

Ah, true - A few were saying "no unoffical" rather than "you can only have one". To be fair, though. Only allowing one could still kill clusters when multiple maps are out

[thorn obsidian]

Well to be fair to Nooblets and them, we had literally no idea they'd remove the Steam DRM as soon as today lol

[bronze bronze]

na they just farmed the rage for views don't even try and justify it

[tawny elbow]

right, but it was the careful use of words, his video implied there was no way to play with friends when in fact, he could run a server with his steamid, but you could not host it with anyone other than nitrado if you wanted it hosted. but you could rent a vps or use a space PC and do it

[olive sleet]

You had to buy a second copy of the game just to host an Unofficial Dedicated server, so there essentially was no unofficial.

[devout rain]

Anyone elses Nitrado server still stuck on a boot loop?

[celest halo]

true but you could still self host a server, and we still dont know if steam version will get cluster support when it comes or crossplay support

[obsidian sandal]

that is not true at all, you did not have to buy a 2nd copy of the game to host an unofficial dedicated server.

[thorn obsidian]

I am justifying it considering the rage was justifiable in the first place.

[sullen heath]

you never had to

[cinder hare]

I didnt have to, i just used my account and put it in offline mode, then started the dedi server from a .bat file and boom. No 2nd copy of the game

[olive sleet]

You did, attempting to play the game with a server running would sign out the server. The 'workaround' was to allow the server to be signed out and still running, but that was fixed, requiring a second copy of the game before the DRM was removed today.

[cyan burrow]

been up for 22 mins now still dont show on ark

[lilac phoenix]

can anyone provide me their bat file lines so i can cross reference there has to be something i put wrong to get a crash

[cinder hare]

Im literally running it like that..... right now. With no second copy.

[viral viper]

Not true ive been doing that since the beginning

[obsidian sandal]

you have no idea what you are talking about. i've been running a dedicated server since the files were first released. i only bought 1 copy of the game and i'm running/playing on the server as we speak

[celest halo]

yeah but selfhost lets you rent a vps (hardware) to install and run it on, just need to know how to install/run it

[olive sleet]

Because you don't need to now, they removed it like I said.

[tough gate]

mine is working on local computer but when i try to run it on my server it just crashes 1 sec in

[cinder hare]

Ive been hosting my server like this since yesterday

[viral viper]

but im still doing it that way even now lol

[serene cypress]

You're right, it was a bit vague. The crash file lists kernelbase.dll, arkascendedserver.exe, ucrtbase.dll, kernel32.dll and ntdll.dll, all with the UnknownFunction, doesn't seem to give me much to go on. Tried physx redist and the latest visual C redist and neither made a difference

[dawn plinth]

tried that, thanks but didnt work

[olive sleet]

What do you mean 'even now', it updated on Steam's end, nothing will have changed for you but will have changed for those who couldn't before

[bronze bronze]

and thats not going to change.. people seem to forget theres a contract in place for 7 YEARS lol

[lucid slate]

Seems like at least 4 of us are having startup crash issues - Anyone hosting a server should avoid updating for the moment 😅

[lyric python]

Someone said that Nitrado backed off and let us self host and it was posted in here but I can’t find anything - can anyone point me in the direction?

[obsidian sandal]

are you running 25.18 @lucid slate

[celest halo]

App ID    2430930```

[olive sleet]

Look in #patch-notes , latest update.

[cyan burrow]

if i put ports wrong does it make server not be seen

[lucid slate]

Not sure on the version number, but I just updated to the version released 2 hours ago

[obsidian sandal]

you have ALWAYS been able to self host, what is going on with this mis-information lol. they removed DRM but they always allowed you to run a self-hosted server

[brazen goblet]

Often a game is made with a prior years visual c. But I think it's only a 50% chance of being the cause. You could try running sfc or dism

[cinder hare]

exactly and you could run it without a 2nd copy

[olive sleet]

With a second copy. Again, before the DRM was removed it was briefly 'fixed' and you couldn't both host a server and play the game on the same Steam account. The update history is literally there on SteamDB

[celest halo]

yeah they still doing things with it also, there test branches are on newer builds right now NAME DESCRIPTION BUILD ID TIME UPDATED unoff_beta 12559159 1 hour ago npc_beta 12559149 1 hour ago qa_staging 12559141 1 hour ago public 12557882 2 hours ago

[obsidian sandal]

dude. i have been running dedicated server with 1 copy of the game since it was released.

[lucid slate]

I could see that if we didn't have a server up and running since yesterday. That generic error we're getting on startup is new, specifically to this verison

[fiery comet]

Anyone know how spawn codes work for asa? Cheat gfid gigasaddle populated but doesn’t work (I have my own server and am admin)

[bronze bronze]

iv been hosting off of one steam account and playing since launch... soooo

[grizzled crescent]

Do we have Linux files yet?

[jaunty galleon]

isn't it gigant not giga?

[celest halo]

nope

[bronze bronze]

don't expect them for awhile

[restive pebble]

Nope, I hope soon, but with ASE it was a few months.

[fiery comet]

Oh my b yes I used gigant

[olive sleet]

Again, it was possible to do so at the beginning, then hours before the latest update it was 'fixed' and you couldn't do that anymore, and then later the DRM was removed altogether.

[cinder hare]

Its some people who have little to no knowledge in how to forward ports. They spew stupid information, like this guy who thinks you couldnt host a dedicated server. There are most of us whove been doing it since yesterday. I have a guide if you wannt to message me. But it requires some basic knowledge of logging into your router and forwarding ports.

[grizzled crescent]

Darn. Ty!

[jaunty galleon]

You can always hold shift and press . to access the admin menu and spawn them in

[lucid slate]

Not disputing that you could have one instance running, but removal of the DRM means you are no longer limited to a single server/map per steam account. That's a huge deal for clusters

[celest halo]

yeah im not even running one right now, i dont even own ASA and wont till i can run a dedicated on linux

[cinder hare]

I havent had a change in my server..... so not sure where this 'couldnt do that anymore' is coming from. Literally nothign changed on my end, ive been running a server since yesterday. It hasnt gone down or anything. Not sure if thats for people who just decided to make a server today but for those who have had dedicated servers running we've been abl eto do it, with or without the update.

[obsidian sandal]

agree that is fantastic

[dawn plinth]

using Port Query, on the local server, the specified ports in the commandline arent even "Listening" appears its an issue with the dedicated server executable itself?
only thing that works is RCON

[fiery comet]

Hmm isn’t working

[serene cypress]

lol, I tried that last night and supposedly repaired some components but still the same. Server OS is win10 on proxmox, could the virtual graphics emulator be causing an issue? Never had this issue running ASE on the same server, so I don't have any suspected causes for it

[celest halo]

i have my own esxi box, but not running a windows vm on it. windows is a resource hog

[ivory iron]

anyone else getting spawner issues on theri dedicated server? I have 5-150's spawning at difficulty 5, but there are still 1-50s spawning in

[cyan burrow]

cant i see someones bat file plz

[cinder hare]

Have you tried to run the server with a .bat file if your hosting your own dedicated server? I haven't had any trouble with listening at all and my ports have been forwarded fine.

[olive sleet]

If you tried to self-host a Dedicated server yesterday, not the first day of Dedicateds, yesterday, you would be hit with the error
ArkAscendedServer.exe is already running. You can only run one dedicated server at a time. Shut down the running server if you wish to run a different one.
if you tried to launch the game.
Steam saw the game and the server as the same app, you literally could not do both for a brief period yesterday. If you hosted from the start you were unaffected since your server was already runniung, but trying to put one up during this time didn't work.

[jaunty galleon]

I'll have to check if they removed it in the latest patch but if you have admin it should open

[sonic pawn]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=[UDA] Undead Army [2XP/5H/12T/D300] - 2.5x Stats?ServerAdminPassword=lol?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=100?" -NoBattlEye -nosteamclient -game -server -log

[cinder hare]

Well when you put it like that with the details that makes more sense. The way you were making it sound was how I was taking it. That dedicated servers that have been running have had an issue. I cant speak for those who tried to do it beforehand since Ive been unaffected. Thanks for the clarification

[brazen goblet]

And I assume you tried verifying the server files and using a basic set of .ini files

[celest halo]

load on mine is never that high to make alot of heat or noise

[cinder hare]

You might be thinking of enterprise (company) servers. They are very quiet and little to no heat honestly. (the home ones)

[serene cypress]

yep, tried verifying, tried re-downloading all the files through steamcmd multiple times, no luck

[celest halo]

mine is a enterprise server, just not running full load

[cinder hare]

Well what I mean is a enterprise company using it at high capacity

[rain geyser]

anyone had the issue of Tames not gaining XP?

[cyan burrow]

do i open rcon port or query port

[olive sleet]

Open query. If you're not using or don't know what RCON is, keep it closed

[brazen goblet]

Seeing as most servers seem to have just broke on this evening(for me) It could be a different manifestation of the same issue. A power outage just started unexpectedly here so my texting is more limited. Does the error code hint at what is happening? Normally there are some actual functions listed that give a hint. Also what is the mood situation. I am assuming unmodded.

[celest halo]

yeah, some of my linux vm's are using 14mhz and 1 gb of ram so its close to idle most of the time lmao

[cyan burrow]

ok

[autumn ether]

How do I change the egg hatch &baby growth rates/ breeding time rates on a selfhosted dedicated of asa

[reef sluice]

anyway to get around Nitrado? if not im just going to refund the game

[celest halo]

and if opening it set a password on it

[olive sleet]

[lilac phoenix]

[CrashReportClient]
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true

[agile gorge]

Anyone get bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True working or is this just toast now? put it in both game and gameuser inis

[pseudo frigate]

I'm going crazy here! I am trying to setup a local dedicated server. I am 100% certain my port forwarding and firewall rules (with hairpin NAT) are correct since I'm using the same ports as ASE (not currently running tho). The bat file look correct and it starts loading but it gets to the line "Primal Game Data took 1.28 seconds" and then the command prompt window just disappears. Firewall logs don't show anything being blocked. Has anyone had this problem? Also, I just installed CMD and I'm running the BAT from the WIN64 folder in the updated SteamCMD app location.

[celest halo]

run your own is only way, they have exclusive hosting rights for 7 years

[lilac phoenix]

any ideas?
[CrashReportClient]
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true
CrashConfigPurgeDays=2

[serene shore]

im getting the same thing

[dire sparrow]

I deeply regret not being on earlier to see any responses to my question. I apologize for asking again. What in the hell is going on with Nintrado? I've heard a lot of bad things the past few days. Between them and Asa. That and is there any way possible to get mods on ase console without fucking up my system?

[autumn ether]

Anyone know how to change the egg hatch &baby growth rates/ breeding time rates on a selfhosted dedicated of asa

[slate ravine]

is cheat saveworld not working now?

[glossy kraken]

has anyone managed to get an asa server working with playit.gg?

[serene cypress]

no mods, fresh install with just the game.ini and gus.ini changed. If you want, I can DM you the contents of the crash file but it just lists those handful of dll files and arkascendedserver.exe with all lines showing UnknownFunction []. Also, the point in the server console that it crashes at is when it's loading the map data

[slate ravine]

I cannot for the live of me get my world to save manually

[brazen goblet]

Please do.

[celest halo]

you try enablecheats (password) and then admincheats saveworld

[fiery comet]

It opens and when I click item it doesn’t appear in inventory

[slate ravine]

yeah neither cheat saveworld or admincheat saveworld is working

[static hamlet]

same, im pulling out my hair

[cursive wigeon]

exit will auto save the world

[celest halo]

thats all i got from doing a quick search of the discord, i dont have it so cant test myself

[slate ravine]

so exit from the ` menu?

[tough gate]

anyone else has problems with the console just closing after 1 sec?

[static hamlet]

Yes

[obsidian sandal]

if you are admin you just do saveworld that's it

[cursive wigeon]

you can type it in the console window

[slate ravine]

yeah doesn't look like just saveworld is working either

[obsidian sandal]

Has anyone figured out how to get mods working on dedicated server (non nitrado) ?

[static hamlet]

have you figured out how to get the dedicated server to actually run?

[serene shore]

for those that have it running are you running it on bare metal with a video card or a virtual machine?

[slate ravine]

my dedicated server ran fine when I started it

[cyan burrow]

i have mine running on a virtual machine

[versed pasture]

whats everyones settings and what fps you getting?

[serene shore]

are you on vmware , proxmox , etc

[obsidian sandal]

you don't need a video card to run a server. though to answer your question i have an actual server in my garage mine is running off of

[static hamlet]

just to be clear, my server is NOT working, im on proxmox, win10

[humble thicket]

Has the admin panel been removed for controllers? I thought I just had to click L3 + R3 to bring up the admin panel.

[serene shore]

I know, but im getting kernel errors in the crash logs related to video drivers.

[serene cypress]

same here, proxmox 8, win10. never had issues running ASE, now can't get the server to actually run

[serene shore]

same , tested with server 2016 and now win 10 proxmox also

[quaint hornet]

Anyone know why my Dino’s won’t spawn higher but I have coded it correctly?

[static hamlet]

What is yours doing? Mine will open the console, and attempts to load map data and immediately closes

[serene shore]

mine testing has been the same @static hamlet

[serene cypress]

same, yellow status light, attempts to load map data, crashes

[half wadi]

Do we need to reinstall the server with anonymous on SteamCMD now that DRM is gone? Or will it just not require steam anymore automatically?

[jaunty galleon]

So does anyone know how to enable admin on your self hosted server? enablecheats doesn't seem to be working

[serene shore]

should. but im running into the same issue

[slender shale]

Are there any links yet to batch file guides?

[static hamlet]

I'm curious if the only people making the dedicated servers work are the ones who went the original route of installing the steam client, and not through SteamCMD...

[slate ravine]

I installed mine through steamcmd

[static hamlet]

and its running? @slate ravine

[half wadi]

I stalled mine through SteamCMD, I just put steam in offline mode when running the server

[slate ravine]

yes it is

[serene shore]

i have tested both ways same thing

[static hamlet]

can you share your batch file?

[olive sleet]

My server's Ports are also not 'opening', but it appears to be communicating with the Server Browser. I assume the Server Browser is currently overwhelmed and that many of our servers are actually working, just not visible. Waiting on my refund for ASA to come through so I can buy it again to test though lmao

[slate ravine]

what is your exact issue?

[rapid creek]

My server fully starts, it's taking saves but I'm getting Connection Timeout.

[static hamlet]

Mine will open the console, and attempts to load map data and immediately closes, yellow status light

[river fog]

hey lads i was wondering if you can help me please
I run an OC ark cluster in Australia and I dont know how to edit the harvest rates on ASA. I cannot seem to get beacon to work. i was wondering if anyone could lend me some help 🙏

[slate ravine]

start C:\arkserver\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="Servernamehere"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20 -NoBattlEye

[rapid creek]

Why NoBattleEye? that was my issue with this error

[slate ravine]

I only host friends

[rotund dagger]

Are we still able to play on old ark survival evolved servers. Or have those also closed since ascended came out and only those are available.

[rapid creek]

I'd try it at least, see if it gets further.

[jaunty galleon]

you need to open your ini files and change it

[slate ravine]

you can still connect to it with battleeye though. it just doesn't enforce it

[honest fulcrum]

You can play on the unofficial ones

[river fog]

im hosting it on nitrado?

[slate ravine]

although to be fair I did copy my ini files from Nitrado so you might have something wrong with your INI files

[slender shale]

I'm running this batch file and cant figure out what is incorrect causing the issue below.

start "" "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe" TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="Servername"?ServerPassword=password1?ServerAdminPassword=password2?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20 -NoBattlEye

Everything I start the server it writes this into my gus.ini
ServerAdminPassword=password2?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20

[obsidian sandal]

multiple issues

[slate ravine]

not sure if the order matters but yours is a diff order from mine

[serene shore]

can you dm me the ini without your stuff in it

[lilac phoenix]

how do i edit harvest amounts and such?

[celest halo]

my so many """

[rotund dagger]

Awesome thanks. Ive been thinking of making a comeback just not on remake ark and wanted to be sure before i installed and committed

[slender shale]

bc it wasnt ready the spaces inthe foldername

start "" then the path in " lets it read the whole path

[slate ravine]

I mean the part after that.

[static hamlet]

Yeah, I think that might be where im messing up, there seems to be an issue with ini settings

[slate ravine]

this is what I have for mine. start C:\arkserver\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="Servernamehere"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20 -NoBattlEye

[serene shore]

if i click on the exe i can get the server running and reach ticking loop but its not getting something passed to it

[obsidian sandal]

@slender shale you need to put the BAT file in the same folder as the ArkAscendedServer.eve and then your bat can look like this:

start ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=SERVER NAME?MaxPlayers=20?ServerAdminPassword=PASSWORD?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?" -NoTransferFromFiltering -NoBattlEye -nosteam

[quaint ether]

everytime i launch my bat file, it launches steam and trys to log me in

[lapis flame]

Hello, when I press the button for a new ark world, I am loaded with an ark already with some progress, do you know if I can have multiple worlds?

[serene shore]

pull the new update

[slate ravine]

it did that to me the first ime.

[obsidian sandal]

@quaint ether update the dedicated server it will remove that from happening

[celest halo]

have you updated

[jade condor]

does RCON work for servers yet? I tried it but it won't connect to my server

[quick wolf]

What all ports do you need open for the server? I have 7777, 7778, 27015 all forwarded and my friend keeps getting timed out when joining did i miss any?

[quaint ether]

wasnt happening a few hours ago after the update, but now is, yes i did update

[slate ravine]

they removed the steam DRM so update and it should stop happening.

[obsidian sandal]

monkeyboy, update again

[lapis flame]

Hello, when I press the button for a new ark world, I am loaded with an ark already with some progress, do you know if I can have multiple worlds?

[opaque anchor]

Xbox players just play in geforcenow. Runs smooth I'll upload a video on YouTube showing how to do it and the steps. You do have to play with keyboard and mouse though.

[serene shore]

@slate ravine can you share your GameUserSettings.ini?

[slate ravine]

playing right now. would have to connect to RDP so can't right now

[agile gorge]

was the flying speed leveling working in sagle player at one point? i have it on for single player and my hosted server neither of which are working now.

[swift bay]

has anybody been able to get player stats increased? The old one doesnt seem to be working

[obsidian sandal]

sure have

[cyan burrow]

what all ports do i need to open Port=7777?QueryPort=27015

[slate ravine]

you are running un modded ?

[obsidian sandal]

In Game.ini have this:
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[1]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[2]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[3]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[4]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[5]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[6]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[8]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[9]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[10]=1

Change the numbers as you want them to be

[slate ravine]

I have 27015, 7777, and 7778

[cyan burrow]

ok

[lilac phoenix]

does anyone have a gameusersettings.ini i can copy to get all the multipliers and such

[swift bay]

thats whay i have, its not working

[obsidian sandal]

you have that in Game.ini and not GameUserSettings.ini? You have the numbers changed to something greater than 1 ? because it is definitely working for me.

and you have [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] at the top ?

[slender shale]

I changed to match yours. Cant figure out why every time I restart, it edits the GUS with this whole bit into the adminpassword line, rather than just the adminpassword:

ServerAdminPassword=password2?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?

[swift bay]

Thanks, I will double check it all.

[tired silo]

is there any way to increase the amount gained when leveling up na atribute

[tropic quarry]

anybody know how to modify tame rates and gather rates on nitrado servers?

[hybrid linden]

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

Does it mean that people can host Dedicated clusters?

[obsidian sandal]

clusters do not exist at this moment so no one knows for sure

[ripe kindle]

Having same problem as you Mystrix

[hybrid linden]

there are 2 maps available for unn, so it can be

[lilac phoenix]

how do i access admin mode after entering a server

[obsidian sandal]

no, because clusters are not activated at this moment.

[hybrid linden]

ok so, back to point... people canhave dedicated servers?

[serene shore]

whats your setup again? serverwise

[obsidian sandal]

no they cannot because no one can setup a cluster right now

[delicate fox]

People can have dedicated servers. There is only 1 map available. Clusters are not available, I do not think, even with same-map clusters [2 different island servers]

[slender shale]

May have found a solution to it writing the extra. Sorting a few things then will update.

[serene shore]

some people have it working some dont

[brazen goblet]

People have had a dedicated server. They seem broken ATM. Transfer settings are available, but I haven't been able to upload things yet so the feature seems fully disabled.

[hybrid linden]

Needy the guy that do the ark lore vdeos says it was made availabe (host as many servers as people want) so thats good

[obsidian sandal]

Yes, people can have dedicated servers. That was always available from the get go. The only difference is now that people don't need a license to run the dedicated server anymore.

[celest halo]

@slender shale i just loaded a windows 10 vm and used start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=testing?MaxPlayers=10?Port=7787?QueryPort=27025?ServerPassword=somepassword?ServerAdminPassword=someadminpass -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -serverrconoutputtribelogs -forceallowcaveflyers -notransferfromfiltering and got no erros on it starting, cant check connections dont own the game lmao and didnt set up port fowarding to test

[slender shale]

I think my issue was corrected by also putting hte serveradminpassword at the end of the batch file, before the parameters. Checking on it now.

[cerulean wraith]

how do i use admin cheats? enablecheats doesnt seem to be working. im tryna wipe the dinos

[celest halo]

all passwords show right in GUS

[lilac phoenix]

so i created my own dedicated server with an admin password but how do i actually make myself admin in game?

[static hamlet]

Did you get it working? Im still pulling my hair out here with it just exiting out

[serene shore]

same im thinking its something in the ini

[static hamlet]

I just deleted everything and am going to start from scratch

[spiral palm]

i still can't get mine to list on the browser. It starts battle eye despite me using -NoBattleEye and doesn't start the query port i specified////

[cyan burrow]

yeah did same still dont show in server list on ark but it shows ticking and running

[nova hill]

Ractrin what version of windows are you running?

[spiral palm]

Windows Server 2022

[nova hill]

See I knew it! you're the 3rd person including myself all using windows server and we all have the exact same issue! it's something to do with windows server that is not working with the ASA software and it's not opening the port like you said.

[obsidian sandal]

fyi i'm running windows server 2016 and have had zero problems

[spiral palm]

dunno if @granite barn is your 3rd person but they're using 2019 and are having the same issue as me.

[serene shore]

I have tested with server 2016 and windows 10 , they are virtual with no luck

[nova hill]

All of us are running 2022 and even tried 2019 and its the same thing

[static hamlet]

I'm just using win10, but can't get it to work

[spiral palm]

I used SteamCMD to isntall and update mine, did those whos are working use the Steam app to install theirs from tools? I wonder if that's the difference.

[cyan burrow]

how do u set it up through steam done with steam cmd

[serene shore]

if i run the ArkAscendedServer.exe the console will stay open for a while in the tick loop. but it doesnt open any ports.

[nova hill]

I tried both before they removed the DRM and even after they removed it and all the same thing. The port is never opened

[celest halo]

i just used steamcmd for my test on windows 10 vm

[nova hill]

So the steam version of the server and the steamcmd version both did the same thing for me, never opening the port at all.

[spiral palm]

actually it does open ports. Mine opens the custom "port" i set, which is 7799, it jsut doesn't opent the queryport.

[serene shore]

can you share you gameusersettings.ini

[nova hill]

Yeah mine opens 27020, 7777 but not 27015

[obsidian sandal]

need more information. your BAT file and what you put in the BAT file has no control over opening a port. that is done through your router

[nova hill]

I am running this off a server in a datacenter not from my home lol

[cyan burrow]

mine just shows the command from the bat files through the server and thats it

[obsidian sandal]

how exactly do you think the server from the data center reaches the outside world

[nova hill]

Well yes I know that but it's not a router issue from the datacenter they already checked it

[spiral palm]

Not at the moment, I'm still tinkering with it to see if there's something in it that's causing the issue. Also for those with this issue, you can see what ports it opens with this command in powershell: netstat -ano | select-string "(get-process *ark*).id"

[obsidian sandal]

if the port is CLOSED, then either the router or the firewall is blocking it. have you tried disabling the firewall on the server ?

[nova hill]

My ASE server is the exact same as my ASA server down to the ini files, the only thing different is the ASA server software. ASE working 100% no problem. ASA never opens the port

[stiff prism]

what's the server settings for mating interval, hatch speed, mature speed, and imprint? can i use the same settings as ASE?

[opal sky]

learn to use a firewall not disable it.... people like you are reason data breaches happen

[nova hill]

The firewall is set correctly and yeah don't ever just disable the damn thing lol

[spiral palm]

i'm testing on my LAN, inside my router's network, and my server's firewall is currently disabled for testing reasons until I get this sorted out.

[opal sky]

im still waiting on linux before i buy

[static hamlet]

I can't even get the damn console to stay open...

[celest halo]

i dont even run a firewall on my linux vms, thats what the router is for

[nova hill]

It's something in the ASA software because my ASE same ports works fine. ASA same ports never opens the queryport.

[opal sky]

that is so bad you rely on router routers dont alway update and have lots of vunrabilitys

[obsidian sandal]

lol you make it sound like i recommend disabling a firewall for a production server. for testing purposes to determine the root cause of a problem it is fine. you can always reenable it after the test. good luck fixing your issue. back to playing my server.

[serene shore]

yah no luck. when i run the bat file the console only stays open for 6 seconds then crashes, if i just run the .exe for the server it will stay open but no ports.

[slender shale]

Has anyone been able to connect to a dedi hosted on the same lan? Do you use the public ip + port or queryport?

[winged egret]

gonna be waiting until like 2027 for a stable linux build lmao

[opal sky]

i might go out white hack all these windows servers with no firewals leave littel notes on your drive saying fix it bro

[spiral palm]

oh yeah i noticed that too. If there's no commands following the EXE the game defaults to quite litterally nothing and therefore does nothing.

[opal sky]

if you are on same network you should be able to use 127.0.0.1

[bleak ivy]

use the command, can use it in singleplayer or the main menu
open IP:PORT password

[bronze bronze]

fyi, enablecheats (password) in console and then type your commands in

[bleak ivy]

some people have had issues with password so unclear on that

[spiral palm]

I saw you recomend this yesterday, this crashed my game LMAO

[leaden spoke]

privateIP:port not the query port

[bronze bronze]

thank god a mod got that lol

[reef sluice]

thank god they gave me a $4.40 discount so I can pay $300 on a server I could have ran for free 🤡

[bleak ivy]

if you type it wrong you go to a black screen. it works tho

I use it to connect to my server

[spiral palm]

ahm then yeah i typed it wrong cause all I got was a black screen XD

[bronze bronze]

but you can run it for free?

[opal sky]

just dont host with nitrado ill have a docker setup soon on github that dos it all for you
unless someone beats me to it

[celest halo]

my linux vms only have one thing running on them, and in there own vlan and router is upto date and not a home consumer router

[opal sky]

sounds good

[celest halo]

they in 2 vlan if you count the one the host box is on, then the ones the vms are on in the host box lmao

[lunar cloud]

My Ark ASE runs well on Kubernetes, waiting for ASA linux support to drop first and stabilize first before I consider buying

[lyric python]

How much ram does a server take up compared to ASE? (Self hosting)

[zealous dragon]

16GB idle on the island for me

[slender shale]

I am hosting on my machine, and playing on my machine, connecting fine. Trying to get my son to be able to connect from same lan. Using my lan 192.168.1.4:7777 password

doesnt seem to do anything.

[leaden spoke]

25.18 is taking just under 10,516 MB before players

[opal sky]

it will drop to about 8 gig i think once fully stable

[nova hill]

My ASE with mods and such takes around 4 to 6 gig and ASA is freaking 16gigs, why the hell is that?

[opal sky]

because they want people to use nitrado

[bleak ivy]

try disabling the password. passwords might be broken right now for the command.

[slender shale]

will try that.

[lament briar]

Anyone hosting a 2x pve server? I wanna mess around

[bleak ivy]

where are you typing in the open command btw?

[cyan burrow]

i just need to know why my ports arent opening

[lyric python]

8GB isnt too bad! Seems like 32gb isn’t enough for a cluster once more maps drop, might have to upgrade to 64 then!

[slender shale]

On his rig at the main menu, hitting tilde to open console

[bleak ivy]

try doing it from singleplayer.

[leaden spoke]

10,618 MB with two players

[slender shale]

you mean Create in the main menu, where you see SP non dedi? or loading a sp game?

[bleak ivy]

yeah, then doing the open command from there

[cyan burrow]

anyone else haveing problems with opening ports

[lunar cloud]

if its anything like ASE port-wise, there are hidden ports that always confuse people. There is a server port and a query port. You need those open, but if its like ASE you will also need ports serverport - 1 and queryport + 1 open too

[cobalt idol]

It is corrently possible to create ASA cluster? (4 servers)

[opal sky]

nope not yet i dont think

[cobalt idol]

did you tested?

[slender shale]

Nope. If I do it playing on the same machine it is hosted on, I can see in the server window "IP for incoming account - IP 192.168.1.4

When he does it, after disabling the pw, still does nothing.

[opal sky]

going off whats been said so far

[lament briar]

some people were testing earlier, but no one has gotten it working yet, so may not be enabled yet

[cyan burrow]

anyone that has a running windows server can u tell me what ports u guys have

[queen marlin]

maybe try docker or sum or like a container of windows or similar

[opal sky]

7777 7776 27015 27016 for deafault should be fine open them and test again

[bleak ivy]

thats strange, its working for me and I'm on a second PC.
make sure the format is correct.
open 192.168.1.4:7777 password

[terse widget]

Is there any info on how to change settings?

[celest halo]

no because we can read At launch, ARK: Survival Ascended will not support CrossARK or server transfers. This feature is expected to release when the Scorched Earth DLC releases in 2024.

[opal sky]

lol

[terse widget]

like disabling pvp etc

[fast plover]

Has the patch notes made us able to host dedicated ??

[lament briar]

yes

[quaint ether]

im having the same issue, typing it all correct and just getting a black screen, though my games now running at 400fps

[queen marlin]

my server seems to be working and playing it on same pc

[bleak ivy]

what does the server say?

I've had the server startup wrong. it doesn't load the island and then you just get a black screen

[slender shale]

100% is exactly that. I can connect from my pc hosting it. He can see it if he searches the ark server list, when he tried to connect it just goes back to title screen.

[bleak ivy]

and you are both on the same network?

[slender shale]

yes

[bronze bronze]

we been able to since the dedi files dropped 12hrs after launch lol

[slender shale]

We've tried public ip, which is static, and local ip.

[lament briar]

You'd use local IP for sure in that scenario

[queen marlin]

are u port forwarding correctly?

[slender shale]

yes ports are good. I host a 12 map cluster ASE from same rig.

[bleak ivy]

if they are lan they don't need to

[quaint ether]

the server isnt getting any requests in, both the server pc, and gaming pc are on the same network

[queen marlin]

in order for it to register it does on seperate machines

[slender shale]

I dont believe ports are the issue, we connect on ase all the time.

[bleak ivy]

try disabling password to see if thats the issue.

[queen marlin]

I was having issues till I fixed router settings

[quaint ether]

ok ill try that

[bleak ivy]

not on lan. lan won't need portforwarding as its all internal to the router

[novel jay]

does anyone know the fix for invisible mod dinos for a non host player on non dedicated

[lament briar]

I've never needed to port forward for lan, maybe some windows firewall stuff, but never port forwarding. I play from mobile hotspot and I can't port forward, and I can connect through lan

[bleak ivy]

Lan is internal so it should never require it

[lunar cloud]

For troubleshooting , you can use tools like nmap to test open ports , nmap <ip-of-server> and you can even check ports 7777/6 and 2015/6

[bleak ivy]

port-forwarding is for external stuff.

[queen marlin]

but this is ark + nitrado

they like making it unnecessarily difficult

[bleak ivy]

I'm on 2 different PCs and not using port forwarding.

[lament briar]

right, but I'm telling you that I have a mobile hotspot hooked up to my router, that is my internet, port forwarding is disabled by the phone company. I can connect via Lan on 2 different pcs.

[queen marlin]

either way will need to port forward for others to join 😅

[tired silo]

anyone by change have the inis for a 5x server hate now nitrado does it

[queen marlin]

I can prepare on for you dm me what u want specifically

[bleak ivy]

if you want external peoples yeah. we are talking about lan tho, people in the same house trying to connect lol

[quaint ether]

took out both pass and admin pass, still same result, btw thanks for helping out, i know theres alot going on in here atm

[lament briar]

lan is very important for me using a doodoo mobile hotspot, it's the only way we can play when the signal is bad lmao

[bleak ivy]

yeah. its very strange. I may be able to do some testing on my own.

[opal sky]

i wonder how self hosted peopel gonna solve random ddossers

[slender shale]

I removed the password from my batch, but not the gus. it was still pw'd. so trying again .

[lament briar]

I had trouble with the password command earlier when I was testing

[crude narwhal]

Hi all
It seems that you can run the server anonymously.
Please tell me how to run steamcmd anonymously
Thank you in advance

[bleak ivy]

should be able to now

[lament briar]

steamcmd +login anonymous

[fiery comet]

Is breeding broken? My unofficial has the hearts for trike but no eggs ever

[crude narwhal]

thank you

[bleak ivy]

let me check

nope, mine laid an egg

[fiery comet]

Thank uuuu

[lament briar]

have you modified the breeding settings in the inis, just curious

[static hamlet]

I installed the server on my main gaming pc, and am now getting the same error as some others:
wp.Runtime.HLOD = "1"

[fiery comet]

Mine keep giving each other hearts. They aren’t on wonder. Hmmm maybe I accidently modified the breeding ?

[bleak ivy]

possibly, or some other issue. I have changed lots of settings (copied my ASE settings for the most part)

[bronze bronze]

i think thats a normal message? i get that on my server and its running fine with 40 peeps atm also the new ram usage is smexy

[lament briar]

It's supposed to say 1, that means good

[fiery comet]

I have the 0.5 for mating multiplier.

[static hamlet]

Ok, that means theres something wrong with my server then

[covert swan]

Are item class names the same as ASE? Trying to configure custom stack sizes with the ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity settings I had previously.

[fiery comet]

Ok so lay egg and mating interval are not 0.5 ?

[bleak ivy]

most of them will be.

[quaint ether]

so...im an idiot. i forgot a capital in one of the command lines, is working now

[bleak ivy]

auto-engram lists are the same so those as well

[spice flint]

Does editing the gameini for making prime meat stackable work for anyone in ASA ?

[bleak ivy]

it is working for me, copied straight from ASE.

[lament briar]

Yeah wp.Runtime.HLOD = "1" is part of UE5, it means world heirarchy level of detail enabled, 0 would mean disabled

[spice flint]

could you give me the string? My old one doesnt work for some reason

[covert swan]

HAH. So funny--that's the one that keeps giving me issues!

[coral kite]

so i have server running on second pc my mates can see it online when ever they join it always times out 3 different mates all getting same issue. is that a port forward issue or firewall issue maybe

[loud sphinx]

yes

[static hamlet]

what other required software would need to be installed for a server to work? Like runtimes and such

[spice flint]

haha thats good, i thought i was the only one xD

[bleak ivy]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

make sure its in the right spot

[lament briar]

Yeah, if they are connecting from a different network to your server and timing out, it's firewall or port issue

[spice flint]

where did you put it pum?

[bleak ivy]

under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]

[spice flint]

in the gameusersettingsini right?

[bleak ivy]

game.ini

[spice flint]

ohh 😄 that was it i guess

[balmy flint]

@zealous aurora will the fancy admin panel ever be re-enabled on unofficial?

[covert swan]

Ahhh my raw prime meat was the only one missing my _C
Ty pumpkin!

[spice flint]

you saved my day pum ❤️

[next crater]

quit

[lament briar]

I don't want to

[lucid slate]

For what it's worth, this is a problem for any online service. We see minor attacks multiple times a month at this point. You either pay for separate ddos mitigation or rent hardware/VMs from services that includes ddos mitigation, though separate mitigation is usually extremely expensive

[humble thicket]

how have people gotten the "Survivor of The Center" achievement? Theres no wait to physically get to the center.

[bleak ivy]

there is probably a command or something

[rain widget]

anyone elses nitrado server in a restart loop?

[celest halo]

steam shows 0% for that one on global stats

[humble thicket]

0.8% players have it unlocked.

[celest halo]

lol page im looking at shows 0%

ASA Dedicated Server Still has a massive memory leak issue, has anyone else noticed?

[humble thicket]

i dont even know how to get the max level achivement. it wont let me get any higher.

[white garnet]

anyone know the setting that changes the max tribe tame limit? i cant seem to find it

[serene cypress]

my crashlog is the exact same, still haven't found a fix

[slender shale]

@bleak ivy @ripe kindle and I figure out our issues with Lan connecting. Mine was I was runnign the server w/o BattlEye, while my sone had BE turned on... matched it up and connected first time.

[humble thicket]

any clue on how to get "Maximum Survivor"

[bleak ivy]

good to know

[lament briar]

yep, I figured it would be something simple that was being missed, glad you got it figured out

[celest halo]

nope

[static hamlet]

im just wondering if im missing a runtime or some other prerequisite

[celest halo]

i didnt install anything extra with my win10 vm on esxi test

[static hamlet]

hmm, ill try a nice reboot then

[torpid spear]

noob question, should I make the ini files read only and which user or group to I change to read only

what does this do
bRemoteInventoryCraftingShowAllItems

[lament briar]

that has to do with any inventory that isn't your own player inventory

bLocalInventoryCraftingShowAllItems=True
Stores the folder view setting for your regular inventory.

bRemoteInventoryCraftingShowAllItems=True
Stores the folder view setting for other inventories.

[bronze bronze]

nope?

[rain widget]

anyones nitrado server just keep restarting over and over?

[distant vine]

what do i set the difficulty for max 180, i put 6 but i havent seen anything above 140

[abstract raven]

Is there a channel to advetise your server on? o-O

[brittle crane]

recruitment

[abstract raven]

yea not seeing it for some reason

[spare depot]

server is running but wont appear in the server browser? do i need to add it manually to my favorites like ASE?

[distant vine]

you cant add it yet manually, check if the show password protected servers is shown

[bleak ivy]

#1110925695900713072.
use id:customize and id:browse to configure your channels

[abstract raven]

Ahh thanks 🙂 I see it now

[celest halo]

or just right click on channels & roles and click show all if you want to see them all

[mellow zodiac]

Anybody else still not able to get the server files anonymously on steamcmd? Still saying no subscription

[glacial creek]

any server setting yet to by pass the 135 level cap?

[timber stirrup]

I have them, just can't get a server running. takes 15s to start full game, which i can't believe is true and then can't find it in game. Having the same problem with nitrado

[lament briar]

I am downloading right now with anonymous steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +exit that's the command that I used

[spare pike]

I am starting an ASA dedicated server. Is the startup script batch file just cut and paste with ASE? Or, are ther ediffernces I need to know before I do something stupid? Any help would be great.

[celest halo]

i used same one from ASE with one change map name TheIsland_WP

[white lintel]

How do I connect to my own server on same network? Working and visible for everyone else except me

[grizzled crescent]

Map name being TheIsland_WP

[spare pike]

excellent thanks much. If i can ask one more? For a LAN only server for my family, what are the differences between SteamCD and windows server (downloaded from tools in steam)?

[grizzled crescent]

So I have been seeing things about the new eula. Do we have a copy of the old eula to compare it to?

[fleet coral]

What is this for?

[lament briar]

I told you what it said, that's all I know bro

[loud sandal]

Anyone know how to start a non dedicated server? Every time we make one my friends can’t see the server or join it whatsoever.

[fleet coral]

Is it because inventory is accessible by anyone and locking it down

[lament briar]

I think it's for the folders when you are using folders

[celest halo]

old 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.

[slender shale]

If ConsoleAccess=True in GUS, that should allow console commands yeah? Doing r.VolumetricCloud 0 works, however other things like show InstancedGrass does not. Ideas?

[bronze bronze]

whats the new one then lol

[grizzled crescent]

Thank you! 🥳 The new one is

With no mention of the one per login and no reverse engineering

[celest halo]

your welcome, i had posted both versions in here before so was not hard to find the old one

[grizzled crescent]

I must have missed it in my search cause of the sea of mentions for the eula. And also cause sleep has not been great the past 2 days.

[celest halo]

yeah i did a seach on my name, because i new i had posted it

[cyan burrow]

can i get someones bat file mine says cant find the file

[slender shale]

Do you have it in the same folder as the .exe?

[cyan burrow]

yeah

[queen marten]

Anyone know if override game difficulty even works? Set mine to 5.0 and dinos are still spawning at level 4 :I

[celest halo]

[slender shale]

DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10

Gives me lvl 300

[queen marten]

Are both of those in the gameusersettings.ini?

[slender shale]

yes

[queen marten]

Insanely clutch of you sir/ma’am/none of the above

[slender shale]

My pronouns are was/were thx for asking.

[dreamy venture]

Was working all night and now the server crashed and it just keeps crashing when trying to reboot..
Anyone know why it won't reboot ? 😦

[slender shale]

In SP I can do 'show InstancedGrass' and it turns off all the clutter. On the dedi, I cant. ConsoleAccess=True in the GUS. Any ideas of how to enable those sorts of console commands.

[kind elm]

They are going to give away all the maps with handles?

[queen marten]

Any idea if adding mods on nitrado will add the new dinos to a seever thats alr been running? Do they just spawn in over time like regular dinos?

[celest halo]

not sure why, but people on nitrado have also been having problems with servers being stuck in a loop when trying to reboot

[whole copper]

is anyone else totally unable to connect to a server on LAN? I am hosting a dedicated server on another PC on my network, and i've tried join ip:port from every menu and within a singleplayer game

[regal bramble]

how do you enable admin commands with nitrado, and how do I change the settings via ini?

[celest halo]

make sure BattlEye setting is the same on both client and server

[whole copper]

is the command still the same? -NoBattlEye at the end of the launch command?

[celest halo]

yeah

[whole copper]

okay, double checked that it's disabled for both client and server. my server pc's windows firewall is totally disabled as well so there shouldn't be anything blocking the connection on that front

[celest halo]

not sure, last person with that issue had battleye disabled on server and enabled on client and could not connect, and could once they disabled it on client

[whole copper]

let me try enabled on both

[cyan burrow]

does the server show it opening ports when its luanching???

[regal bramble]

anyone pls help

[whole copper]

i see it opening 7777 in the resource monitor, not 27016 though (the query port i set it to use)

is it supposed to output log messages in server console about it? because i'm not getting that

[glacial creek]

open your consol in game and type enablecheats pass*

[regal bramble]

that did not work

[whole copper]

set your admin password on nitrado, use enablecheats <adminpassword> in console

[glacial creek]

then you were given wrong password contact them

[regal bramble]

nvm i'm dumb lol i literally put pass lol

[cyan burrow]

i dont think so just wandering y i cant see my server

[glacial creek]

SLOW DOWN like im suppose to know your pass LMAO

[whole copper]

the open command uses server port and not query port right?

[celest halo]

it should but not sure

im holding out on getting ASA till they drop linux binaries for the dedicated, so dont have to game to test with

[nova vector]

does anyone know if you can recieve income from an unofficial server now?

as in donations and such?

[celest halo]

that all depends on what you consider income, and how you read the EULA

[nova vector]

donations to keep the server running, none of the old ptw kits and stuff

[grizzled crescent]

According to the updated eula

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.

You can get enough to cover operational costs, but not more (assuming I am reading that correctly)

[nova vector]

ah so donations are allowed

[earnest jungle]

I'm sure this has been answered 3500 times but the removal of drm lets us run more than 1 instance of the server software now without having to do the offline mode thing right?

[hollow otter]

yup as long as it doesnt exceed your hosting cost, but lets be honest that seems like gray territory as long as your not making thousands

[glacial creek]

how you should look at is copywright, you can download it, you can use it, but you cant re-distribute it for a fee, meaning if you trade money for stuff n things in game thats re-selling thier game.

[bleak ivy]

it says "tipping" as well. you can still make money. probably just doesn't want renters.

[glacial creek]

someone donates to you for the hell of it thats a whole other story you never tried to sell nothing for

[nova vector]

so as long as the server doesn't have pay-to-win kits and such, and the money is strictly donations to keep the server running, everything's all good?

[hollow otter]

yes

[glacial creek]

yup

[nova vector]

perfect, thanks guys

[celest halo]

yeah tipping pretty much makes it so people dont need to pay to join the server

[hollow otter]

man i wanna play ark again

[glacial creek]

enjoy

[cyan burrow]

its opening my 7777 port and been running for awhile still dont see server

[glacial creek]

ya on my paypal link it states all donations used for community, and server upgrades, and or power usage.. and thats it

[celest halo]

you open 7778 also

[cyan burrow]

my command dont state it does it need to my bat

[celest halo]

with ASE it was port, port +1, and query port that had to be fowarded

[quaint ether]

where do you find game.ini? i cant seem to find it

[glacial creek]

anyone hosting a 2nd server yet for testing? i have it launched its in the server listing but times out joining,, and its a direct copy of my current running one.. hmmm

[celest halo]

it didnt show for me till after i stopped the server

[cyan burrow]

i got 7777 7778 and 27015 all portforweded

[quaint ether]

ive stopped and relaunched the server twice, still havent been able to find it,is it in the same folder as gameusersetting.ini?

[celest halo]

yeah

[cyan burrow]

my resourcemoniter says that 7777 port is opening when i start it been having it up for awhile and still cant connnet

[hardy sun]

There documentation on the Unreal Console to do server updates / saves / restarts / broadcast? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

[graceful jay]

what pages says this? Do you have a link?

[celest halo]

store.steampowered.com//eula/2430930_eula_0

[silent monolith]

so with that backtracked will we be able to have our own servers?

[quaint ether]

still hasnt shown up for me

[celest halo]

you always could have your own

[silent monolith]

i mean like with the Ark server manager

[hardy sun]

Is ASM working with Ascended yet?

[celest halo]

Ark server manager is reported to be not getting updated for ASA

[graceful jay]

so command line only?

[dreamy venture]

How do you make sure the server is periodically saving backups? Mine is only every 2hrs 😐 ?

[celest halo]

might have to just make it your self, mine was empty when it showed up

[rain patio]

How to Secret Cheat Menu I can't do it.

[glacial creek]

HEY ALL..
please support this guy github[dot]com/sh1ny if you want a game panel for ark ascended,, im watching this chat,, and well i took a look and yes 7hrs ago someone posted a template for windowsgsm
im gonna set it up right now myself..
and its windowsgsm[dot]com

[silent monolith]

I cant seem to find this link

[celest halo]

just add the https part to the front

[serene cypress]

I believe I've found a fix for the crash, if you haven't fixed yours yet

[celest halo]

link is also on steamdb.info/app/2430930/info/

[static hamlet]

I gave up for the night, was going to try and install it on my other bare metal server in the morning

[vast kettle]

has anybody gotten flyer speed to work?

[silent monolith]

thank you do we just download this now?

[serene cypress]

I managed to fix mine by changing the cpu type on the guest to host, rather than the generic KVM cpu, it also worked for @tough gate

[static hamlet]

Oh, nice I was gonna consider that but wasn't sure it would matter

[tough gate]

^this solved it for me too

[static hamlet]

I'll get my ass out of bed and try it myself. Is that changed on the proxmox side?

[tough gate]

yea

[silent monolith]

okay do you have to own the game to get the license for this?

[tough gate]

nope, you can download as anonymous via steamCMD

[warm lake]

Is your MaxPlayers=20 useful?

[silent monolith]

how do i do that?

[neat comet]

Hi guys, we have been running a server on our windows root since noon yesterday. Everything was running fine until I wanted to insert the saves from the old server. Console opens, server loads and then the console closes. We deleted the solution saves and everything set to 0, everything works again. Now 8 hours later and with 70 active players and over 300 player saves we had to restart the server because of a hacker. When restarting, the same problem as at server start. It does not load your own save files. Save files deleted? everything works. Now we have inserted all the save files one by one and found that the player saves and world saves work and the server starts. As soon as we insert the tribe saves the server does not start and the console closes by itself. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

We're getting this error: Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000d0000000e

CL: 449352 0x00007ff79b1f35de ArkAscendedServer.exe!FWeakObjectPtr::operator=() [E:\ASAContinuous\Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\UObject\WeakObjectPtr.cpp:30]

[serene cypress]

yep, in the WebUI, under the hardware section for the VM, click on Processors, then click edit, change Type to "host"

[old wolf]

Strange thing that I noticed. in the savedarks folder, look for a tribeprofile file that is like 250k - 300k in size. if you see one, delete it. had this happen twice on ours so far.

[static hamlet]

blah, now I have to remember my proxmox info

[old wolf]

all the other will be tiny, but one

[neat comet]

Thanks i try it

[lyric python]

Instead of asking 30 questions that's probably been asked before; Is there a guide to self hosting now that its possible? A link or video in my dms would be very appreciated!

[serene cypress]

if you have console or SSH access, there's a way to set the cpu type to host from the CLI, I just don't remember what it is, I rarely every use CLI with proxmox

[old hamlet]

does anyone know ini setting to prevent/allow building on obelisks?

[cobalt idol]

Do not forget that you will need to give back this tribe ownership to the affected users 😉

[mellow zodiac]

where are the dino tame speeds and hatch speeds and all that located in the server files?

[silent monolith]

how do i download anonymously thru steamCMD?

[old hamlet]

spread between game.ini and gameusersettings.ini

[cobalt idol]

+login anonymous

[glacial creek]

did anyone figure out a server settings for flyer speed?

[mellow zodiac]

any reason why i only have gameusersetting.ini?

[old hamlet]

its not generating a game.ini for some reason. start a single player with settings u like and use the ini from that. personally i copied my stuff over from ASE and it worked

[cobalt idol]

yes, game.ini is not generated. use one from ASE server if yo want.

[glacial creek]

launch the server 1x

[tough gate]

i sent you a PM

[old hamlet]

its possible to get ASM to half-assedly manage/update/configure ASA but its ... not great

[quiet stump]

Question, will self hosted dedicated servers still be accessible/searchable by name in game if port forwarded?

[neat comet]

So i Need to Check every Time when the server dont Start the Site of the saves ? Thats a Bad way 😅

[cobalt idol]

yeah.. not fully working..

[old hamlet]

did you modify the asm.exe.config file?

[cobalt idol]

for sure

[old hamlet]

you need to add anything new to ASA to your additional args... like winlivemaxplayers etc

[cobalt idol]

problem is that the things that are not working are in the binary 😉

[old hamlet]

you will have to add mods that way too. zen posted somewhere how to add mods i dont remember where but its -mods=1234,5678,9999 and server will auto install them

[cobalt idol]

no, using the same as ASE, you just need to edit the server executable name and map name to the ASA ones 😉

[brisk barn]

Are mods even on asa yet

[old hamlet]

yes

[mellow zodiac]

how do i properly close a server?

[old hamlet]

but you still need to add some extra args once you change exe config. if u want your maxplayers to work anyway

not at all @brisk barn

[brisk barn]

I’m assuming ase mods might carry over to asa? But it’s a different engine so

[celest halo]

nope

[leaden spoke]

@mellow zodiac in the server console window, click the carets on the top right and in the RunCommand box at the bottom that shows up enter: exit

[celest halo]

ASA mods are through curseforge not steam workshop

[cobalt idol]

no. i only added the slots number in asm panel.

[neat comet]

Did Someone run asa Server With ArkServerManager? I Tried it yesterday but he instantly Downloaded survival evolved.

[glacial creek]

use windowsgsm

[cobalt idol]

ofc. you need to edit the executable config with ASA info.

[neat comet]

Atm We Are starting the surver With a .bat

[old hamlet]

Changes needed for ARK Server Manager.exe.config - from user "Lethal"

      <setting name="AppIdServer" serializeAs="String">
        <value>2430930</value>
      </setting>
      <setting name="ServerExe" serializeAs="String">
        <value>ArkAscendedServer.exe</value>
      </setting>
      <setting name="ServerProcessName" serializeAs="String">
        <value>ArkAscendedServer-NoDRM-Unofficial</value>
      </setting>

[glacial creek]

scroll up and read my post

[potent bear]

does anyone know if wild dinos are able to breed in the wild or do babies only spawn in?

[old hamlet]

keep in mind it is not perfect, ASE is not ASA but its close. you still will have to keep an eye out for anything you gotta manually port over and/or manage

but you can add custom launch args and ini settings. unconfirmed for me personally if it will auto update, if so, thats worth it on its own.

[static hamlet]

WOO, that worked!

[flint fox]

does anyone know why the loot in the drop pods are way to good? like getting an acendant anky saddle out of a blue crate?

[modern tangle]

Shhhhh

[hardy pelican]

ty

[cyan burrow]

off to bed hoping it starts working tomorrow lol

[serene cypress]

awesome, glad to hear it!

[mellow zodiac]

whats the way of increasing resource gather multiplier?

[celest halo]

im off to bed also, been up for 21 hours

[mellow zodiac]

how do i switch my server from pvppve to only pve?

[humble thicket]

Tf is pvppve

[bronze bronze]

they mean pvpve which is the default setting

[humble thicket]

Ye i only know pvp and pve

[bronze bronze]

theres technically no true pvp mode 😛

[olive sleet]

PvPvE is just what ARK is, Players vs Players, and Players vs Environment (dinos)

[torpid spear]

im surprized that there isn't any mods yet

[olive sleet]

most modders only got access to the devkit yesterday

[agile gorge]

awesome spyglass was up for about 20 minutes and got pulled back down for violating gameplay guidelines , was id 83374

[lunar moat]

@zealous aurora server 2318 down for 3 hours 41 minutes

[dawn geode]

Case #36504 @lunar moat has been muted for 2 hours.
Reason: Mass Tagging

[torpid spear]

I know they did,. starfield had mods within an hour of it being live. I just thought it was odd

[lyric python]

?? Isn't that the purpose of a mod - how did it violate gameplay guidelines lol

[hoary lava]

Throwing up a server in the next 30minutes or so. Nothing special, just something reliable for pvp 🤗

[olive sleet]

The real Awesome Spyglass on Steam Workshop was 3.8MB, the one on ASA was around 60MB, so it was doing something fishy.

[agile gorge]

just a guess but idk if it was actually uploaded by the OG modder

[lyric python]

sounds fishy indeed then

[agile gorge]

i have the rar from ehn it was up , it looks like it has a bunch of holiday uasset files in it , stuff refering to turkey and wreath

so might have had stuff in it that should not be "out yet"

[olive sleet]

it could have been just the old ASE event .uasset files, but still has no place in an 'awesome spyglass' mod

[gleaming kite]

Any idea whats with Spawner error in logs !

[agile gorge]

Wreath_icon.uasset and turkey.uasset , no other dino asset files , everything else seems in order as far as naming convention.

[digital kayak]

I can't join my dedicated server if it's password protected. It just claims I'm using an invalid password even tho I know for a fact I'm using the right one

anyone else have that issue or just me

[torpid spear]

The dev kit is a little confusing. but that might be just me. I have some time with UE but not much. I understand now why there isn't mods yet lol

[agile gorge]

worse then ASE dev kit? iirc ase one was also kind of a mess.

[torpid spear]

I’m not sure but its definitely learning curve

[rain patio]

How to access the CHEATS

[swift bay]

Tilde

[agile gorge]

~ enablecheats <admin password>

[rain patio]

To access the cheat menu just press the . Button while holding [SHIFT]

And you will be greeted by the cheat screen containting all sorts of options:

It doesn't show up in the secret cheat menu window

[glacial creek]

if you all want a free game panel get WindowsGSM theres a Ascended template

[vestal cloud]

do i read patchnotes correctly? we dont need steam client anymore to run the server?

[neat comet]

I got the Adminpasswort the the bat start but ingame i cant enablecheats

[old hamlet]

where did you find the ascended template

[glacial creek]

scroll up you will see it 11:25pm post

[karmic moat]

Hi! does the server files have linux support?

[vestal cloud]

anyone know how to make a manual world save in UE5 console? saveworld doesnt work

[old hamlet]

didnt see it, ill look around

[glacial creek]

stupid server here wouldnt let me re link my already post,, theres the windows link and the github

[winged egret]

For ARK SE, has anyone figured out how to comment in a ini file without the game just clearing them? tried using // and ; - both are cleared on boot 🤷‍♂️

[neat comet]

U Start Over servermanager?

[winged egret]

in pterodactyl; but for some reason its just removing anything I put in the commented line

[river tinsel]

Does anyone tried to host a server on windows server yet?

[neat comet]

Is your Server startet With ASM?

[neat comet]

Yes Running Atm

[winged egret]

shows its just starting using cd ./ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/; ./ShooterGameServer with general startups after - unless im misunderstanding. just the default parkervcp egg

[river tinsel]

Which version are you using?

[neat comet]

U mean App Id?

[river tinsel]

Which version of windows server

[neat comet]

2430930

[river tinsel]

Like 2019, 2022?

[neat comet]

Idk atm im on work 😅

[glacial creek]

im using windowsgsm as of 30min ago on win 2019, before that bat file from the moment the server was released

[river tinsel]

Great, do you see you server in game?

[glacial creek]

ive had players in it steady since it launched lol

your welcome to look its RENEGADE GAMING

[scenic wadi]

can anyone help me find a server that I was playing on all day today now i cannot find it?

[river tinsel]

Did you open any port?

Cause I was on windows server 2022 and I couldn't see my server in game in any case

[glacial creek]

yes theres a server history in your steam account

[scenic wadi]

Where do i find that? I was checking steams --> view ---> game server

[blazing stump]

Wait so do we have linux files or not yet

[river tinsel]

Did you open any port on your windows server 2019 ?

[blazing stump]

And has anyone tried a dedicated server on win11? I keep getting kernelbase.dll unknown function crash

[glacial creek]

grrr my nad that was a different server game lol both games and both servers are brandnew

[scenic wadi]

For whatever reason I go to the history of my steam game servers and i have 2 ASEs under teh drop down but no ASA/

[glacial creek]

yes you need to open theinbound ports

[tardy mica]

@blazing stump this? Fatal error!

CL: 449432
0x00007ff8a1bd49b9 KERNELBASE.dll!UnknownFunction []
0x00007ff7c00bf6ca ArkAscendedServer.exe!UnknownFunction []
0x00007ff8a186d88d ucrtbase.dll!UnknownFunction []

[blazing stump]

That's the one

[tardy mica]

yeah mine just started doing that too after recycling the server

[blazing stump]

How did you fix it?

[tardy mica]

havent been able to yet,. tried an old save but same result

[blazing stump]

Ok well glad to see I'm not alone with this issue

[river tinsel]

thanks 🙂

[obsidian tree]

Is there a linux Server already?

[blazing stump]

I've been asking around, I'm not sure

[river tinsel]

which host provider do you use ?

[obsidian tree]

Might have to refund if I cant play with my mates

[deep wren]

any other unofficial servers crashing then rolling back repeatedly?

[desert star]

IDK if my server is crashing but every time I start it, it just stops and says "an update will be applied" and then closes shortly after

[crude narwhal]

Hi all
please tell me how to disable this setting "Ark Data Downloads Allowed"

[desert star]

Okay yeah, at least if it's with Nitrado I have a pop-up now saying there's an issue going on with my server and that they're working on a solution. Unfortunate timing since I was just about to get on :/

[warped notch]

I have resolved a similar crash on start issue multiple times now.

It's a pain in the peepee; however, I had to manually move out xxxxxxxxx.arktribe, one by one, from the saved directory and relaunching the server.
