[barren plinth]

Are the "gameusersettings" etc the same as in ase?

[ivory yarrow]

yall is it "TheIsland_WP" or "TheIsland" for the start command?

[bronze bronze]

[slate bridge]

Hey, anyone encountered this strange issue. I loose dinos after a daily restart on Ark ASA but not all of them. I’ve tamed that a day or so ago. Other people on the map having the same issue

[humble thicket]

does anyone know if you have to keep the [ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides] section of the game ini for a nitrado server? I created my game. ini template from a single player game but to me it seems like bloat in the game file for my server.

[gleaming kite]

Cryo mod on server ?

[ivory yarrow]

Anyone gotten the ASA server to run on a Windows 10 Pro VM via proxmox? Ive installed all the VC_redists + physX but cant seem to get the server to run.

[bronze bronze]

what is the command to see what specific dino is spawned?

[celest halo]

You have cpu set to host?

[ivory yarrow]

Yup

its currently set to it, but it did make it worse lol, It opened a gui on non host, and when on host it doesnt even get to a gui

[gleaming kite]

do Epic store have game and is it cross with steam like before ?

[barren plinth]

Is any1 running a server over steam cmd ?

[gleaming kite]

90% of servers

[lethal fjord]

Hello 👋
I have a question, Have you noticed on every rollback it takes us back? On the other server I play, it takes us back like 2-3 hours.

[barren plinth]

Where can I find the all Settings I can change???

[zenith bloom]

Anyone know when/if nitrado is going to lower their player count minimum?

[slate bridge]

Yeah

[gleaming kite]

rip ! thers only 1 cryo working rn and you defo have broken one ! why server owner not checking mods prior installing them lol

[slate bridge]

Bloody hell lol even though my dinos in my cryo are working and the dinos we are loosing are the ones let out ?

[gleaming kite]

any dino who was in cryo and after is left out will be gone after restart ! remove mod and every dine is gone now doto needing restart ! like cryo dleate it from save if used 1x time to make it easy lets say -- if use cryo its death sentence for dino after restart ! upon deleating mod dino in cryo gon and do to restart any dino you poped out of cryo in hopes to save will be gone to ! death is upon dinos with no option

[gleaming kite]

maybe try to roll back save befor cryo was added will keep dinos at that time ! if from start RIP server dinos

[slate bridge]

Yeah I’ll give it a go

[gleaming kite]

dont forget to remove mod before rolback

[lyric python]

What's the working Cryo mod? Does it not delete tames like the rest?

[celest halo]

Hmm others fixed there’s by setting to host, so not sure

[ivory yarrow]

Yea i get a odd error "Exception_Illegal_Instruction"
Which is odd since i dont get that error on non host

[celest halo]

I have never used proxmox, I have esxi on my box.

[ivory yarrow]

Yea fair enough, im not sure why it "Host" makes it worse. Ill try reinstall the vm

[feral nexus]

is there oil rocks above ground?

[woven torrent]

HAs anyone figured out the BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier and grace period yet? It seems way to fast

[old hamlet]

is there a way to increase the generator range? or increase the generator limit? we are finding we cant power large portions of our base

[old hamlet]

no i could never get it where it felt correct, but i increased BabyImprintAmountMultiplier in game.ini and it kind of compensated for it

[woven torrent]

I'll try messing around with that then. Thanks

[spiral sapphire]

Anyone get player list to show via RCON panel with ASM?

[gleaming kite]

dont think asm works on ASA

[brittle pewter]

Anyone know which parameter i need to adjust to get longer or infitite pickup times? its now on 15 minutes but want to get it longer

[gleaming kite]

Any one got raw muton to stack ?

[outer crag]

think so, i encountered the same

[gleaming kite]

i can make to stack anything but not raw mutton 😄

[past laurel]

Industrial cooker will not allow med brews to craft

[olive talon]

Is it connected to a water source? Does it have gasoline? Tintoberries and narcotics?

[past laurel]

Yes , you can see the crafting start , then dyes are produced and the crafting resets .

Loads of tinto narcs power and water

[frigid vine]

@proven prawn @zealous aurora can you please give an short update about linux-files for hosting? 🙂
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/709484-asalinux-did-asa-comes-with-dedicated-linux-server-app/
So many admins waiting for a short YES or NO. A time, when you will support it, would be also greate, if possible.

[vagrant citrus]

anyone else have random server shutdowns for updates but when you come back some tames are just gone ?????? anyone know how to fix this BS

[trim cosmos]

guys my ini doesnt work it worked properly yesterday but it doesnt now cansomeone help me?

[zenith patio]

server been running for 3 days perfectly fine. now crashed and wont start back up. keeps closing. starting then closing....
panicking a little.. anybody an idea?

[turbid garnet]

hey guys, I was wondering if there is an option to imitate official server rates for Ark: SE gen2 with gameusersetting. ini
if anybody could send such a piece I will highly apprecieate

[humble thicket]

anyone wondering if their pc could run asa dm me i have a pretty mid pc and i could tell u if u can run or not also 9109 down

[brittle pewter]

Did you try to update?

[hexed anchor]

Me too, i don't know why.

[hexed anchor]

There is no update.

[vagrant ledge]

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=True in Gus worsk for me, remember to always check if you structures need repairs or you wont be able to pick them up

[brittle pewter]

Yeah i found it. Thanks for the reply

[gleaming kite]

update ?

[zenith bloom]

Anyone know when/if nitrado is going to lower their player count minimum for server rentals?

[ivory yarrow]

Probably wont, since the minium amount of ram can do upto 26 people roughly without really needed to increase

[zenith bloom]

That sucks. Pretty expensive for just 3-4 people

[ivory yarrow]

Maybe when the server gets well optimized

[zenith bloom]

In my opinion anyways

[floral tartan]

Hi, after finally seeing my ASA server, I still can't join it. I always get the message "Login Failed - Connection Lost". Ports are correctly enabled, Epic certificate is installed. Tried again with an empty savefile, also unsuccessful. Does anyone have an idea here?

[hexed anchor]

Since this morning, impossible for me to launch my server.

Something make it crash.

[proven umbra]

anything we can do so dinos wont get stuck in literal every floor when they are maturing? they are getting stuck to the point where they wont even get free after you hit them

[sweet delta]

Anyone know what causes an ASA Server to not start after crashing once? It will not successfully start anymore

[proven umbra]

corrupted map / players / tribe

[sweet delta]

How in the fk man. Seriously?

[cold salmon]

Hi, can someone help me out. I have a ark server running but i cant find it in the serverlist. All the necessary ports are open(7777,7778,27015,27020) but netstat only shows the udp 7777 as being listened to.

[nova bolt]

Do you have to be on Nitrado to get the MaxPlayers setting to work? Or am I missing something as a person using a private dedi?

[north jacinth]

use in the command line -WinLiveMaxPlayers=XX to make it works for now

[nova bolt]

search for it. Make sure you don't have the pvp/pve filter on and if it is password protected, check that box too.

[sweet delta]

I just backed up to an older save though and issue persisted @proven umbra

[proven umbra]

yeah happened to me to. in my case there were corrupted player data. backup ur player data, remove all and see if the server starts

[sweet delta]

Okay easy

[nova bolt]

Thanks I added it to the end of my start command and it worked great

[hexed anchor]

The TribeData files in Server files looks to be the thing who make the ram leak issues

[spiral sapphire]

Im running an ASA server with ASM right now, it was up all day yesterday no crashes (about 8-10 concurrent users). Some ASM features dont work, but its still nice

[mental jewel]

Do backups and restore work with that setup?

[sweet delta]

@proven umbra I deleted all player data and left just the .ARK world save and its still not starting. World's cooked....

[proven umbra]

welp, try tribe data and pray. otherwise I am out of idea as well.

[celest halo]

27015 is not used anymore, query port is gone with it not using steam network backend, 27020 is for rcon won't show if that's not enabled

[hexed anchor]

It's tribe data, pretty sur at 90%

[sweet delta]

Yeah man I cannot find it tho

[cold salmon]

Ok, as far as i can see from netstat, ark starts with udp 7777 and tcp 8888 but i still cant seem to find it from outside the server

[white lintel]

Make sure you don't have a filter enabled on the Server list. Shamed to admit that's what happened to me!

Other than that, ensure your ports are forwarded on your router, and pointing to your server. Also, ensure Firewall rules are set correctly, as when you had to install steam client and dedi server from there it knackered my rules up. Feel free to message me if you like, though not guaranteed to be able to help anyway 🙂

[viral mantle]

I’m using 7777, 8888 udp and 27015 tcp. Server is working fine.

[celest halo]

And check show servers with password if you have one set

[hexed anchor]

I just did and my server started, it's on your data folder.

[sweet delta]

My server is stuck on Battleye loading. It's not ports or anything. The actual Dedi Server is stuck

[hexed anchor]

Remove Battleye

-NoBattlEye

[white lintel]

Try with the -nobattleye tag and see if it starts?

[sweet delta]

Typical. Can I DM one of you guys lol. Cant post here.

[white lintel]

Sure, though you'll probably need to friend me first sorry

[glad cave]

Do you have the Epic certificate installed? That was the issue for me.

[hexed anchor]

For some reason, something can increase the size of tribe file and it cause the crash of the server.

[delicate smelt]

Why don't the following work in ASA?
bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=True
ShowFloatingDamageText=True
StructureDamageMultiplier=0
bDisableFriendlyFire=true

[empty pollen]

Does anyone know why my nitrado server is constantly restarting?

[bleak ivy]

the first one had issues even in ASE. I'm using floating damage text so that one does work. can't say for the others

[delicate smelt]

Thanks Pum - I'll keep messing to see if I can get it working

[glad cave]

I’ve got the autoUnlockEngrams working, but I’m using ASM to enable settings changes.

[fiery comet]

Btw getting rid of the clouds using the console command (don’t have to be admin) helps with FPS

[bleak ivy]

make sure you are putting them into the right file, the wiki will say

[hidden flax]

Anyone know a unofficial server that is no wipe? Preferably PvP or PvE with Tribe Wars active. Looking for low rates & want to try out the Ark Additions dino's on ASA. ^-^ Thanks in advance for any suggestions. (Since slow mode is currently on.) Had a look through server ads, but was hoping someone here might have one to recommend while I look.

Oh deceptive slow mode was like 20secs. xD

[low fiber]

Anyone else having the issue that their turrets only start shooting after 5 seconds?(delay option is off)

[delicate smelt]

I can only find GameUserSettings.ini?

[coarse tulip]

Can confirm the first 2 work fine

[bleak ivy]

servers don't create a game.ini for whatever reason. copy the one from your game

[delicate smelt]

ahhh ok thanks guys

[neat stag]

bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=True goes in Game.ini

[coarse tulip]

^

[delicate smelt]

Thanks guys.. all working as it should now 🙂

[vast tangle]

My Nitrado server is now stuck in a restart loop too. Anyone know a solution for this?

[karmic obsidian]

Backup all server files, reinstall the server, re-copy the server files over, delete the corrupted Tribe (It will be significantly larger than the rest), Rename the corrupted tribes backup so it matches the original tribe file, restart server, play game.

[delicate lion]

is the in game voice chat not working? what button is it? im blind i cant find it

[coarse tulip]

Anyone found a fix for the SPAWNER FAILURE's ?

[brittle pewter]

I also get a lot of spawn failures. What does it mean? I cant see whats its trying to spawn

[gleaming kite]

same

[burnt cave]

Does this setting still work for cuddle timer reduction?
(game.ini)BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=2.000000
I added this and restarted server. Cuddled the dino and the timer after was still 8 hours (default).

or do all these settings need to be in the gameusersettings.ini now?

[vagrant ledge]

I actually have 1 log file with failedwaterdinospawns and its only piranhas or coels

[brittle pewter]

Ah i see now in the log its only piranhas for me

Great. I hate them 😂

[vagrant ledge]

yeah but you have 3 different types of failures. Water, land and caves so not sure whats failing to spawn on land and caves yet

[vestal cloud]

wonder when theyll fix it, server is up over 5h and got 14 spawner failure

[brittle pewter]

I only see failed water spawn txt in the log

[vestal cloud]

im getting some Land_C_### mostly, only one water

[burnt cave]

what is the steamid to install via steamcmd?

[vestal cloud]

2430930

[vagrant ledge]

yeah sadly on the same page, I really want to know what els it is. But the overall dino count seems off its telling me there are 20k stasis npcs atm but it really doesnt feel like it. I think alot of dinos are spawning either in walls or outside the map cause I have seen some head sticking out

[brittle pewter]

Where do you see that stat?

[vagrant ledge]

setcheatplayer 1 and you will get some active stats for the server

[brittle pewter]

Ah going to try that

[karmic obsidian]

Is anyone else playing on Fat Isle 2xXP 2xGather 5xTame 2xStack the best Unofficial server around?

[vagrant ledge]

no

[vast tangle]

Interesting. When you say "the corrupted tribe", we have only 1. I see a "1735641459.arktribe" (at 200kb) and tribebak file in the dir. Is that what you mean? If we delete the *.arktribe file will that wipe all our progress?

[viral mantle]

Anyone notice that TacoBell is a command in the admin manager?

[mild lion]

Good morning guys, any update on flyer leveling speed yet?

[ashen escarp]

saving in ascended sucks....... had my saves wiped about 5 times

dont care kiddo!👍

[mild lion]

@ashen escarp if you dont care why are you posting in unofficial thread?

[hexed anchor]

In fact yes, but needed to run the server, so keep a backup

[atomic adder]

because he does care lmao, he mad

[mild lion]

@ashen escarp Angry man needs a nap

[summer venture]

I was trying to mess with it yesterday and couldn't seem to get it to work still. I'm running the server and tweaking it to find a balance as I go. Wish the servers came with the same rules as singleplayer preset in the game.ini

[ashen escarp]

I do not care about how you feel about the game👍 completly irrelevent for me

[torpid imp]

What setting do i change in my ini to raise taming speed?

[coarse tulip]

Yet you complain about saves in the wrong chat like we care about how you feel about the game? cmon now kiddo. its not that bad.

[mild lion]

@ashen escarp hope youre day gets better buddy

[glacial creek]

this wiki is being updated with asa settings that work, and unknown, and dont work..
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[mild lion]

@summer venture I woke up restarted the server and now player speed leveling is gone

[vagrant ledge]

TamingSpeedMultiplier=2.5 in Gus

[torpid imp]

Gus?

[celest halo]

yes

[vagrant ledge]

Gameusersetting.ini

[mild lion]

I havent changed anything dunno why things are getting over written

[torpid imp]

ah kk

[summer venture]

Makes me wonder if they disabled it for servers to fix issues with stability

I wish we had a console command list built into the server manager.

[mild lion]

Yeah true I wish ASM was still being updated

[hexed anchor]

When they will fix the memory leak on dedicated server, hell.

[mild lion]

I really hope soul balls come back

[stuck crypt]

Has anyone figured out Offline Protection yet

[empty dagger]

Question, is there a discord server for Ark Modding?

[rich magnet]

Does anyone know how to create a whitelist on Nitrado? looks like I can't reach anything on the dashboard or via FTP

[onyx pollen]

Yesterday the game crashed on our private server others can access the server but I can't get into any server now. I deleted the game and reinstalled it still stuck on the loading screen. I validated files as well can anyone assist please?

[bleak ivy]

is it a black screen?

[onyx pollen]

No it's the normal loading but never goes past it

[bleak ivy]

never got that one try launching singleplayer then joining.

[harsh tide]

Not sure if anyone can help on this. I'm running ASA on windows server 2019. I've opened ports, changed ports, disabled firewalls. I can't get a consistent connection to the server. One moment its working fine, and the next I get timeouts. Most of my community members can't connect, and the ones who can are only able to intermittently. I rent a machines from OVH, and also have UDP rules set for ASA, I did try to disabling their firewall. Nothing ive tried works consistently.

I should mention that command-line options seem to have no effect, the game is running with default ports no matter what I do.

[onyx pollen]

ok yes singleplayer let me join.

[agile wasp]

Hey ya'll, when I launch the server through Steam, the server console isn't visible.
The serve goes up and everything but I can't see the CMD, when I hover over the icon in my taskbar all I see is white, anyone got a clue what this is?

[summer venture]

I didn't like that either. Doing it the steamCMD route was better imo.

[agile wasp]

It's weird because the first few days it worked with no issue.

[summer venture]

It's weird to me that ark has a console but doesn't have a shit ton of different server management applications like minecraft does.

[brave lynx]

are clusters working in unofficial? like do we know if -NoTransferFromFiltering is working to prevent download sfrom outside the cluster?

[gleaming kite]

isnt renting vps against EULA its stil comersial as 3th partie gets paid so you can run asa server

[woven heart]

anyone playin on the UDA servers?

[stark knoll]

Launch with -NoBattlEye

[torpid spear]

As far as we’ve been told, clusters are not available right now

[stark knoll]

DynamicConfigUrl also doesn't appear to work at the moment.

[onyx pollen]

ok i can single but still can't the unofficial one

[delicate smelt]

Thanks for the link 🙂

[onyx pollen]

Ok thanks to @bleak ivy I found out I can play on single player after a crash last night. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Verified files etc. I just can't play on official or unoffical servers it gets stuck at the loading screen. Can anyone assist?

[karmic obsidian]

`I'm playing on Fat Isle 2xXP 2xGather 5xTame 2xStack , the best Unofficial server I've found so far

It work

[wise kindle]

Transfers arent in the game yet. Supposed to be added in December with the Scorched Earth release… or somewhere around then anyway.

[burnt cave]

So is it correct in assuming that there is no longer any game.ini file and all the server settings are located in the gameusersettings.ini?

[soft basin]

my server no longer shows up?

[tall solar]

i need help / What is the difficulty offset for TheIsland Acsended?

[coarse tulip]

No, there is a game.ini, but you have to populate it. tou can use the one for singleplayer as a baseline

[celest halo]

there is a game.ini file you need to make it if you want to add settings to it

[sinful vault]

my game keeps crashing with a d3d12 problem is there a solution ?

[burnt cave]

I spun up a server and it didn’t generated one though. And it doesn’t seem like the settings that would normally be applied to game.ini actually work if placed there (such as baby maturation rate, cuddle intervals, etc.)

[celest halo]

for some people it was made after shutdown of the server, its just empty. For others its never made

[tall solar]

What is the difficulty offset for TheIsland Acsended? to get lvl 150 Dinos

[coarse tulip]

you can just set MaxDifficulty=True and it will set them to 150

[vestal cloud]

scale x1, offset x5

[coarse tulip]

Thats where i have mine and they work (in the Game.ini)

[burnt cave]

Odd, I’ve tried changing the cuddle interval (from 8 hours to 4) and it doesn’t work. Same with decreasing the radius at which stuff respawns around a structure. Both of these have typically been in game.ini for ASE, but these settings don’t seem to work

[violet dawn]

my server doesn't install mods (crashes) and doesn't show up on the list

[tall solar]

thanks ur doing the Lords work

[coarse tulip]

Weird. im still not 100% on some of these setting, some of them i cant even seem to get working at all. so idk if its user error or just something on their side

[tall solar]

only 2 days of trial and error now i can finally play

[tardy pine]

How do you guys handle auto restarts and updates?

[soft basin]

[2023.10.30-15.44.30:479][ 27]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Cave_87 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, DISABLING!

whats this mean?

[tardy pine]

Game couldnt find a suitable place to spawn something and stopped trying. This is a normal error. Informational

[unreal tapir]

My server has lots of them too.

[soft basin]

ah okay, for some reason my server no longer shows up

[tardy pine]

That error wouldnt be why

[lean anvil]

is anyone else running into a issue where randomly a pile of structures will just appear in the air at 50,50 and you will spawn in that mess

[vestal cloud]

im at 50,50 atm, nothing out of the ordinary

[austere panther]

Modded structures or vanilla?

[unreal tapir]

the failed water ones on my server seem to be Piranha's as there is a failedwaterspawn file but not for land or caves.
[2023.10.30-10.02.56:307][191]Failed Spawned Dino: Piranha | 0.9x (Location 75767.715503, 231124.947908, -14425.467587)

[tardy pine]

SOunds like something that hackers do in rockstar games lol. U on official?

[austere panther]

Modded structures have this problem if the structure wasn't setup properly.

[soft basin]

would higher creature count cause the issue?

[lean anvil]

Unofficial and no mods

[tardy pine]

Yeah, more spawn attempts would be made. But it isn't something that is an issue really, it's more of a "spawner tried and failed, so it will stop to prevent the system from trying to spawn the creature an infinite amount of times."

[lean anvil]

it will just pick random structures and put them at 50,50 lmao its weird seems to happen alot after restarts. Its like the saving of world is breaking

[soft basin]

i mean for my server to all of a sudden not be showing up, i was playing on it earlier

[tardy pine]

Those errors are on every server, even in Ark SE.

[unreal tapir]

Its the word disabling that worries me. If the spawner cant spawn maybe due to dino count or that the spawner has a dino on it then i hope it will try again later and not just disable that spawner. People are saying that they are not getting dino spawns in after some times and I wonder if this is teh cause.

if its just a informational log and it will reenable it after a while thats good

[tardy pine]

They "should" re-enable and attempts a new spawn after some designated amount of time. It's possible that the spawners never re-enable, but that would be a game bug and not a server issue.

[unreal tapir]

Indeed.

[tardy pine]

But those errors would never cause a server to stop showing up in the server browser like Wurthless is mentioning.

[unreal tapir]

yup thats a different issue

[soft basin]

i understand that, im not asking about that specific error, im asking that since i increased the dino spawn count, would that prevent the server from appearing?

[unreal tapir]

Can you rcon to the server? are you sure its loaded correctly and not hanged.

[tardy pine]

Not unless there is some kind of bug in the game. It really shouldn't though, the server initializes before any spawns are made. I would look more in to firewall/port forward settings for the server not showing up

[soft basin]

i have no idea what that is lol i just know that like an hour ago it was fine, now it doesnt pop up in search and nothing on nitrado says anything otherwise

[violet dawn]

Mine isn't showing up too

[unreal tapir]

if you ask in Nitrado's Discord they will help. There are lots of people there will ing to help troublesoot the issue.

[tardy pine]

Sounds like a Nitrado issue

[vale rover]

@slate cosmos @bleak ivy @hallow heart @obsidian jewel The Server Ads channel is full and cannot post any more for Unofficial

[violet dawn]

Mine isnt nitrado is dedicated server

[tardy pine]

Was it ever working or did it just start not showing up?

[violet dawn]

Im just testing a new machine, old machine was working fine, this new one don't

[onyx pollen]

Ok help guys I see that my game is version 25.33 but servers are 25.44 steam isn't updating the game how can I force it to? I went to properties and told it to always keep updated high priority and to allow in background.

[tardy pine]

My first thought there is port forwards. Have you configured your router to point to the new machine?

[violet tide]

Do I need to enable RCON from the startup options? Or can it be enabled in GUS [ServerSettings]?

[violet dawn]

Im using windows server, already gave the server permissions and allowed the game ports through firewall

[unreal tapir]

can you ping it?

[violet dawn]

wdym ping it?

[hybrid widget]

there are some updates that only require server update, current one seems to be the case, you should have no problem conecting

[delicate smelt]

is admin setup the same way as ASE - AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt?

[onyx pollen]

I had hoped this was the problem of why I can't get past the loading screen 😦

[unreal tapir]

I cant post links in the channel but use google to ask "how to use ping to check a server is online"

[inland vale]

How to find the server again after you left it? Cant find it also favorite doesnt work

[unreal tapir]

use last connected, or use the name in the search box

[inland vale]

both not working

[violet dawn]

Ye the ping works

[unreal tapir]

ping is very basic did you check teh ping to the port not just the ip.

as its not a hosted server there could be many reasons. If the server is online properly and you still cant see it its likely to be firewall or port forwarding that is the issue.

[silent horizon]

Is there a Cryopod mod that actually works yet? Or are we still ironing out the bugs?
Also is the flyer speed ini setting working yet?

[hexed anchor]

[violet dawn]

I have firewall deactivated to test, still not showing up :(

The server is still sending spawner warnings so I assume is theorically working?

[unreal tapir]

IS it on a proper server or a PC. If its on a local network i.e. 192.168.x.x (or equiv) then you may need to do router config. You may be able to use a DMZ

[violet dawn]

Its a hetzner machine

[unreal tapir]

Yes it sounds like the server is up in the server application its more about making it public facing. But you really need to know how to do that. There are so many different setups that could be in place so not easy to troubleshoot remotely

[soft basin]

@unreal tapir i figured my issue, it was stupid lmao

[unreal tapir]

thngs to check, Firewall (local machine), Firewall (router or switch), IP forwarding, Port forwarding, ISP settings, NAT, etc etc oh and any Virus software too

[brave lynx]

does nayone know the ini to disable ark data downloads

[unreal tapir]

Glad its fixed mate

[silver prism]

GOOD NEWS PEOPLE
I talked nitrado and after the server improvements they took their price down from 35$ to 25$. Its not ase prices but its a step in the right direction

[soft basin]

literall what happened was that the name of the server got changed somehow and i had to go back and change it lol

[unreal tapir]

if you used a reinstall that would have reset yes. Not stupid mate its all learning 🙂

[soft basin]

nope, server didnt reset, just the name/pass/motd

[humble thicket]

anyone know why i dont have .ini files

[light mortar]

Hey I have a server and when I got in to play after an update the server erased and mi save I went to the backup saves and those don't work either anyone knows why?

[wispy perch]

any good 3/4man servers? for new players keep getting raided every night on official

[quartz cairn]

anyone else having an issue with lack of dinos/creatures on there unofficial ?

[hexed anchor]

No fix yet about memory ram leak on dedicated server ?

[celest halo]

nothing more then what is said in #patch-notes

[delicate smelt]

Does "AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt" work? I can't seem to get admin so I can wipe the wild dinos?

[worthy glade]

Can someone give me a TLDR on the state of unofficial servers, nitrado, and the crashing / wiping of all progress???

[celest halo]

dont think so, havent seen anyone get it to anyway

[delicate smelt]

Unofficial is on - you can host your own server now, no comment on Nitrado - never used them.. Game still crashes - still being worked on 🙂

[hexed anchor]

Hell..

[worthy glade]

You can use any third party server hosting service?

[celest halo]

if there not a game host provider

[worthy glade]

All the unofficial servers I’ve played on are still having issues with forced updates from nitrado causing wipes. Longest that any server has lasted is 24 hours

[honest raptor]

is there a way to activate the events on unofficial servers yet?

[celest halo]

you can rent a vps and install it your self lol

[celest halo]

someone said it was same way as in ASE and they had the easter one active

[worthy glade]

Has anyone been able to play unofficial without server wiping every 12-24 hours?

[delicate smelt]

My private one is working just fine..

[worthy glade]

What server host are you usi N

[delicate smelt]

I'm not.. I have it hosted on a server box in my own home. I use it for non commercial use 🙂

[worthy glade]

Yea I guess I don’t understand how this works. There is not clear information. Nitrado exclusivity agreement is now void? Server admins I am talking to say you still need to use Nitrado

[delicate smelt]

You can host your own server on your own PC fine, but you cannot (as far as I know) rent a server from anyone other than Nitrado.

[coarse tulip]

^

[worthy glade]

And that server from your own pc can accommodate multiplayer?

[delicate smelt]

Yes, within the confiments of my PC and Internet connection

[celest halo]

Nitrado is the only GAME hosting provider you can go with, but you can host your own if you rent a computer or have one to run it on

[worthy glade]

So the rented servers from nitrado are the ones havi by wiping issues?

[delicate smelt]

no idea. I don't use them. I expect many teething issues with the Game and Servers at this very early stage.

[worthy glade]

Every server I’ve played on has been plagued with issues - only to culminate with. Nitrado pushing a forced update which results in the server having to be wiped and progrsss reset

[delicate smelt]

Welcome to Early Access 🙂

[worthy glade]

I’d rather just play ASE, no?

[snow thunder]

Our nitrado has been up since launch and we’ve taken all updates. None have forced us to wipe our server

[coarse tulip]

Personal preference i guess lol I host my own server, and not had a single issue

[delicate smelt]

Many people feel the same. It's a matter of personal choice

[worthy glade]

When I search for unofficial servers there are only like 50-60 total

[delicate smelt]

I'm assuming there is a limit to the amount it returns

[worthy glade]

Most with really low population, high ping, or both

[coarse tulip]

The server browser only shows a limited amount at a time, just keep refreshing etc

[snow thunder]

If you do password protected there are more. Ours is invite and doesn’t show up unless you specify to search for password protected

[worthy glade]

I’m looking for a good unofficial community for me +4 friends. Slightly boosted rates

[celest halo]

you doing that search with show servers with password unchecked, think most unofficial have passwords on them

[worthy glade]

Any tips on where to start?

All unofficial servers I’ve been on are having the wiping issues so far - would love to find one that’s a bit more stable because all of us are getting pretty exhausted starting over every 12 hours

[celest halo]

right now nope, with servers getting multiple updates a day anything can change, and there is no linux support for dedicated servers yet so some people are not running one

[quartz veldt]

I havnet had a wipe issue with my unoffical. I did have a issue for a bit with dino spawns failing but a few restarts with forcespawn seems to have fixed

[coarse tulip]

You are welcome to see if you like mine, its 10x 6man pvp with a few mods. just started slowly getting people. but if not your forte, no biggie but i havent had to wipe anything at all. Its Elysium Royale non password protected

[valid dew]

Are they releaseing new servers? if i buy I would like to start around day 1

[celest halo]

official added more the other day who knows if they going to add more again

[snow thunder]

Probably some more after they stabilize things, but that’s mostly a guess

[celest halo]

i would guess more also after they fix it, but we dont know what they going to do with servers once console and crossplay get released

[quartz veldt]

i wouldnt expect to many more for now if console do release next month. They are supposed to add crossplay servers after console is out for a little while. So i would assume they are trying to keep the number lower for that reason.

[nova cipher]

I am seeing a ticking loop on my personal dedicated server. Is that normal?

[vestal cloud]

yes it is

[pallid bone]

Hey I have an unofficial server with nitrado and I'm trying to do dino wipes to help with respawns but I can't get admin to work. I do everything the nitrado tutorial says perfectly but no commands are recognized. Is there another setting I need to check or do I have to do something with the rcon port?

[nova cipher]

I can't access it at all and I do not know why

[lapis onyx]

yo I know this is kind of a weird question but I was playing on an unofficial server yesterday and it went down and its still not up and I am not in the servers discord, is there any way to find out what happened to it if i dont know the servers discrod

[celest halo]

green icon and ticking loop is what you want to see

[violet tide]

Do I need to enable RCON from the startup options? Or can it be enabled in GUS [ServerSettings]?

[vestal cloud]

if on nitrado ASA works like ASE, you should be able to go to console there and use commands from that console too

[neat stag]

I do mine in GUS, works fine

[violet tide]

Okay thanks

[nova cipher]

Wait I think I know why, my server is running 25.41, but my PC is at 25.33

[vestal cloud]

server version vs game version?

[lusty plank]

anyone elses tames disappear every time the server restarts ?

[violet tide]

Are you using one of the Cryopod mods?

[lapis quest]

Anyone running asm on asa right now?

[lusty plank]

yes i do

[violet tide]

That's probably why. All of the cryopod mods are having that issue

[lusty plank]

ah ok. so never cryo my tames and im good

[nova cipher]

How do I update my PC from 25.33 to 25.41

[violet tide]

Mods are just all around wonky right now it seems. The SuperSpyglass mod is completely changing people's appearances for some reason. Seemingly unrelated to the Spyglass. I'd steer clear of mods for the time being

[celest halo]

server and client are not on same version right now

[stiff prism]

How do I increase tame limit?

[celest halo]

but i also thought latest client was 25.27

[nova cipher]

How do I update my client, it is showing that it is updated

[celest halo]

there is no client version 25.41

[nova cipher]

So I just can't play?

[tiny aspen]

The BBR (the community I host) now has full chat synchronization (Discord <-> ASA) & live Discord player lists for ASA^^ Come check it out if you like!

[celest halo]

minor version numbers dont need to match between them

[inland heart]

Anyone else notice that all of the unofficials have to keep going down and having to wipe to put them back up?

[celest halo]

they dont update the client everytime they do a minor update to the server, they are differnt programs and on differnt version numbers

[misty vine]

Is anybody else’s game freezing and then crashing while in the inventory or crafting/engram menus?

What’s really weird is that this only happens to me when I’m near an area with a lot of trees or environmental objects, but if I’m on a beach or somewhere open with not much around, it doesn’t crash at all for me! I don’t believe this to be a graphics issue because I’m getting like 60-90 FPS even in the areas with a lot of objects.

Is this still happening to you or have you found a way to fix it??

[nova cipher]

Ah, I can't see the server locally at all and I am at a loss. The last error I have found was "Unable to connect to the server, app ID specified by server is invalid"

[quartz veldt]

Pretty sure its a Memory error.

[misty vine]

No work around for this at the moment or just play the waiting game? Haha

[quartz veldt]

i dont think there is a current work around i just turn off volumetricclouds/fog and keep my settings at high and hope for the best. Also if you have frame gen on turn it off its a litte more stable that way

[nova cipher]

I also got " Joining Failed" UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection.. Elapsed: 20.00, Real: 20.01, Good: 20.01, DriverTime: 20.02. Threshold: 20.00, [UNetConnection] RemoteAddr: 192.168.1.12:27013, Name:EOSIpNetConnection_2147475268, Driver: PendingNetDriver
EOSNetDriver_2147475269, IsServer: No, PC: Null, Owner: NULL, Uniqueld: Invalid

[quartz veldt]

thats seems to be equivalent to a timeout for server lagged response or server was full

[tardy pine]

Can a bat file send RCON commands? Or interface with the server at all?

[nova cipher]

I am local with Cat-6 and the only user

[quartz veldt]

is it a fresh server?

[woven linden]

Have specs been listed as to what the server specs are for ASA? All I've heard mentioned was 16 GB ram, but not sure that's still the case. Having a hard time finding official docs on this as I can't even seem to find it in the store. Was able to get it via steam cmd.

[violet tide]

Only if the RCON client has that capability, i think i read. Not an RCON expert here, though, so take this with a grain of salt

[nova cipher]

Yeah, the VM is not though. I hosted my ASE server on it

[quartz veldt]

you might have a corrupted file. Alot of people are having issues with i think its a way to large tribe file.

[nova cipher]

I have reinstalled about 5 times at this point and it auto-updates on launch

[quartz veldt]

yea there are a bunch of people today complying about servers not able to make it online after the new update

[celest halo]

been alot of that since day one, and each update

[worthy glade]

only issue ive been having is anyone using nitrado for unoficcial hosting has had to wipe their server every 12-24hrs due to forced updates

[nova cipher]

I spun the server up about 30 mins after dedicated servers became available

[jovial shadow]

I'm happy I can finally play single player

[stray solstice]

Has anyone found a way to ban people on a server even if they are offline?

[nova cipher]

As long as it isn't just me. I will play single player and export the fils to launch my server when we can host

[quartz veldt]

But i was gonna say i would wipe it and try logging in again but you already did that so im not sure i can help. I been doing a nitrado server. Might host one my back up pc later but had already grabbed a unofficial server.

[nova cipher]

What kills me is that I work in IT on custom applications and I have exhausted everything I can think of. I was told the other Data Centers (Besides Nitrado) were experiencing the same issues. I can live with it if it isn't just me haha

[obtuse stirrup]

so is it me or is it broke the Ceratosaurus mod broke with not able to equip the saddle ? or can you Equip the saddle to it finally tamed one but when drag saddle to it does not equip it ?

[quartz veldt]

Lol definatly not just you. Nitrado servers have been having similar issues for alot of people. I only ran into dino spawns breaking so far. But finally got that to start working again

[nova cipher]

Single player crashed for me too, but I will give it another go

[nova cipher]

Thank you for the help

[wet timber]

Weird question. Yesterday my server ram usage was averaging ~10 gigs. I haven't updated it but now it's somehow average ~3.5 gigs. How did this happen? I'm still able to connect and everything's working just fine

[quartz veldt]

NP wish i could have helped more i was stuck trying to get spawns for like 6hrs. Had 1/3 of my island with no dinos. I only get the D3 crash. Some spots way more often than others

[nova cipher]

I might just lest the dust settle at that point. Give it a month or two

[quartz veldt]

@wet timber they published some updates for ram usage but also more of the island might be in stasis than when last checked

[celest halo]

that or half the dinos died freeing up the ram lmao

[wet timber]

I'm aware that they pushed updates, but no way does it shoot from 10 gigs down to less than 4

[quartz veldt]

Actually Stolen has a point. Alot of servers have failed spawn 20 times so its disabled errors.

[raven notch]

Hey does anyone know where i can find the game.ini files for official small tribes pvp and pve, want to copy the settings over to a private server.

[dreamy venture]

Is there a way to save your settings like when you do volumetricclouds etc?

[terse widget]

When is MultiHome support going to be added!

[celest halo]

sometime Dec is my guess

[terse widget]

I certainly hope it's sooner than that.

[celest halo]

thats when i seen they going to add/allow transfers

[rigid helm]

any server owners here ? - not rented

[atomic adder]

👋

[worthy glade]

Any channel to research unofficial servers?

[wild path]

is there any reason why my friend wouldnt be able to join even tho im port forwarding from router and on firewall. hes just getting connection timeout error

[graceful jay]

So they better optimized their game?

[barren plinth]

Does some1 know a good way to advertise a unoffi?

[celest halo]

none that we have figured out, alot of people are having that issue from time to time

[simple thorn]

Hi all anyone have a clue how to add mods to the bat file thanks

[quartz veldt]

@graceful jay to some extent but also after they spawn the game takes a while to stasis more of the island and its dinos/ some dinos spawns are disabling when they fail 20 times. @mel did you port forward all 3 ports?

[rigid helm]

do you have issues with high ping caused by dinospawns ?

[celest halo]

-mods=modid,modid

[wild path]

but its constant he just cant join

[atomic adder]

Lol no, I actually have an issue with no dinos spawning.

[simple thorn]

thank you 🙂

[quartz veldt]

add the force dino respawn command to your GUS then do a couple restarts and it should "fix" it for a little while. Also dino wipes can sometimes fix no dinos spawning

[atomic adder]

If you've increased spawn rate and/or have an older CPU the amount of dinos spawning absolutely could increase your ping.

[wild path]

theres no way to just invite right?

[barren plinth]

Then my bat just shuts down

[rigid helm]

i mean, rest of the 16 ASE servers and tenths other projects runs fine, just ASA have 100 ping once all dino spawn - and we havent really increased its rate dinomultiplier is at 1

[turbid plume]

Servers Been crashing most of the day ?

[humble thicket]

Has anyone figured out how to get the settimeofday code to work on ASA? I tried 08:00:00 like ASE but it didn't work....

[turbid plume]

Just managed to get a 2 hour play session in though

[humble thicket]

I've been playing on my server for the past 5 hours with no issues.

[vestal cloud]

my server's at 10h atm

[humble thicket]

Do you have mods running?

[turbid plume]

Good news

[celest halo]

my bat is and it works fine start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="Some Name"?MaxPlayers=10?Port=7787?ServerPassword=Somepassword?ServerAdminPassword=SomeAdminpass -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -serverrconoutputtribelogs -forceallowcaveflyers -notransferfromfiltering -mods=928988,928717

[safe basin]

I noticed that the System Requirements for ASA are 16GB Ram with 32 Recommended.... This begs the question - Will moving from 32 to 64GB help in any way?

[turbid plume]

Yeah

[rigid helm]

can you force max view/render distance for servers ?

[humble thicket]

I had the same issue on Saturday when I set up my server, but I had mods. I removed the mods, and since then, very little crashing.

I think I saw that Nitrado was having issue runnin mods on dedicated servers for now....so it's best to just remove them until they give the all clear.

[sturdy kiln]

Given the memory leaks the server client has, I assume the same exist in the player client so it will help with longevity

[atomic adder]

Are you certain the dino spawns are the cause?

If you dino wipe is your ping better for a short period?

[turbid plume]

Thanks 😊

[vale path]

idk if this is the right place for this, but are you able to make your tether distance in non dedicated any longer than 3?

[sick breach]

Do quetsals spawn with baby questz

[rigid helm]

after dinowipe ping is on its usual - 20. but that lasts up to hour, as it starts increasing as dino spawns. once they fully spawn its about 100 again

Also, its only when where is 30+ people. on 15 people ping is aboout 50-60 with 5 people ping is 20

[atomic adder]

Very strange. Specs of server? My guess is its just an ASA optimization issue, and the game isnt running as well on your platform but its hard to say. I havent monitored my own to see if the ping changes like that.

Is the 100 ping on the same network or from the internet?

[celest halo]

30+ people spread out over the map and full dinos = lot of dino path finding to do, i can see why ping is lower with less people or dinos

[atomic adder]

Yeah, might not even be your platform, I may be having the same issue but I play locally so havent noticed.

Haven’t had many join my server yet.

[blazing rose]

24,99USD for MINIMUM 20 slots is insane. That’s what a monopoly does. For ASE I’ve been paying about 30USD for 4 servers… with a minimum slot space of 10 through GPortal. Please take this into consideration, and get rid of the artificial monopoly you’ve created.

[rigid helm]

its actually simple, more people on, more dinos rendered, higher the ping. And it seems its not just for our server, even some more populated officials have same issue.

[celest halo]

you forgot about that ASA needs 2x the ram as ASE does, so can run 2 ASE servers in same space as 1 ASA

[atomic adder]

Yeah I was just comparing to your ASE servers you were stating they ran fine, hence its likely just unoptimized ASA.

[blazing rose]

But the price is roughly 4x…

[atomic adder]

Thats what happens with monopolies 🙂

[brazen goblet]

the ram isn't the cost tbh. Its the electricity and CPU time. I personally think it costs them at least $15 a month for a 20 person server before labor and tech support.

[blazing rose]

Exactly my point. Lol

[celest halo]

was higher when nitrado said it was 3x the ram usage lol

[lapis quest]

Not even that, 5 hours running a map and it keeps increasing the ram usage untill it crashes.
Hope they fix that reaaaaally soon

[blazing rose]

It was HIGHER before? That’s madness.

[atomic adder]

ROI on memory is absolutely more expensive though. Electricity is a COB.

[violet tide]

Where can I download ARKon from? (I know links aren't enabled here, so if someone could PM me or just give me a rough idea). The link in the dude's steam thread isn't working

[lapis quest]

We have a map running for almost 6 hours right now, is sitting at 60 gigs ram

[brazen goblet]

I don't like monopolies

[barren plinth]

Its not

[blazing rose]

A monopoly removes the drive for fair market prices. Since the company can set the price to whatever they want and we are just stuck.

[celest halo]

yeah they lowered the price after one of the updates dropped ram usage

[blazing rose]

What was it before?! 😱😱😱

[rigid helm]

intel XEON E5-2699V4 + 256GB RAM + 4x 500GB NVME + 4x 250GB SSD

and ping is just for ASA server, nothing else isnt affected, even for our owner who is usually sitting less than half meter away from server, he have about 80 ping when rest of us sits on 100

[celest halo]

min was 26 slots and think around 35

[blazing rose]

…. That’s madness. Why so many slots?

[brazen goblet]

Tomixus; single core thread speed is more important than multiple cores. I would suggest messing around with the spawn limits of more trivial dinos. Like more than halving the coels.

[celest halo]

they blamed the slots on it needing 16gb of ram

[blazing rose]

That’s weird. What would have happened if that many people actually logged in then?

[atomic adder]

Yeah those high core count Xeons are not optimal for ark servers. I doubt ASA multithreads well if at all, so the ASA server is probably bogging down once more starts happening.

Try giving the ASA server priority, might get assigned a better core.

Could also see if you can lock the server into a higher all core speed, everything will run better but hotter.

[rigid helm]

we have been thinking about disabling coels completely, as in normal island I think they eat up to 6000 slots? same goes for Meganeuras and Titanomyrmas those together have same ammount, but along those, you need to decrease overall dinomultiplier to something as 0.8.. which isnt exactly greatest solution..

[brazen goblet]

if its pve the turrets also use ais and I would limit to 20

[celest halo]

from patch notes Improved server performance slightly by optimizing multi-threaded movement logic so it does some multi-threading how well who knows

[atomic adder]

Thats amazing to see thanks for that call out.

[lament lake]

nm

[orchid knot]

Just wanted to throw this here, I made a video on starting the ASA dedicated servers, "Helpful Hunters Guild" On Youtube. 😄 Wanting to help out

[atomic adder]

Still though, any survival dedi server is going to love saturating one or two high frequency modern cores. If you self host I recommend builds with consumer gaming CPUs lol.

[violet tide]

Is there a way to broadcast via RCON?

[fallen granite]

so my server did a daily restart and now its not showing up. it says its running can anyone help? can PM

[alpine sable]

Somebody in here said his server name got reset to default, so I’d start by checking that server name is still what you wanted.

[celest halo]

i run mine on a box with 2 E5-2670 lol (its only a 2.6ghz base clock so do notice lag from time to time depending on the game and how many cores it will use)

[fallen granite]

still a no.

[silver obsidian]

Hi, I'm trying to open an ASA server on an ovh machine... after following a tutorial, everything works fine, but I don't see my server in the unofficial list... anyone know why? here's a preview of the .bat

[spiral sapphire]

Im using ASM - Cant broadcast, but can global from it

[violet tide]

ASM... I'll look into that. Thanks

[hexed anchor]

Even dedicated server as memory leak

[rigid helm]

Thanks for a feedback everyone

[spiral sapphire]

Word is that WC turned off Broadcast

[sturdy kiln]

Oh I know, our poor 70 player one keeps hitting 70gb in 6 hours

[timber cloud]

OS is windows server?

[hexed anchor]

bro imagine..

[silver obsidian]

yes

[timber cloud]

DM

[spiral sapphire]

The only place Ive gotten Broadcast command to work is from the "ShowMyAdminManager" UI

[chilly river]

Can anyone tell me something about this message?SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Land_136 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, DISABLING!

[spiral sapphire]

Naa, i get a ton of those

I ignore them and server hasnt crashed once 🙂 ```!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Land_191 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, DISABLING!

[violet tide]

i can't even get that UI to show up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sturdy kiln]

Don’t have to imagine I’ve watched it kill the virtual machine twice

[spiral sapphire]

You have to EnableCheats <adminpassword> first, then type ShowMyAdminManager (can just type Admin and then select it with tab)

[violet tide]

Ah yeah okay, I had been prefacing it with "cheat" like you do almost every other command on a server. That particular one doesn't need it, it seems

[spiral sapphire]

Lots of them dont, but also, some are listed, like cheat quit

[hexed anchor]

What they wait to give a damn fix..

[chilly river]

I thought it might have something to do with the fact that no new dinosaurs are currently spawning

[craggy swallow]

does anyone have a server that i can join

[spiral sapphire]

And a lot of the commands onl;y work from the admin manager UI, not if just typed in console, its wierd.

[spiral sapphire]

No, ive seen that before (not on mys erver, but others) not sure if it measn server needs a restart, or you are at dino limit on whole server (there is a default max number of dinos)

[sturdy kiln]

I imagine they've got a lot of fires they are dealing with, ceds not Twitter says more coming today probably so maybe we can start meeting demand of our players

[lean salmon]

Maybe cause you play on a Server

Showmyadminmanager only works in singleplayer

[violet tide]

got it working

[coarse tulip]

Not if you are an admin lol, works fine for servers

[lean salmon]

Fr? Cause it dont Show up in escape menu

[chilly river]

That's right...but I never had that problem with ark! Then I'll do a restart. It's been running since 7pm yesterday without rebooting...

[serene cypress]

Has anyone gotten spawnweight to work on asa? Trying to disable spawns for a couple species but it doesn't seem to work like ase did

[coarse tulip]

you use console

[mystic kiln]

Are unofficial servers fucked with updates? Was playing a server a couple days ago and the owner said ark is fucked

[lean salmon]

Ohh so "cheat showmyadminmanager" ?

[mystic kiln]

Apparently has to completely wipe the server?

[lean salmon]

Mine still works fine since they released the Server files

[mystic kiln]

Huh, alright. Weird

[lean salmon]

Maybe he used mods that fucked up his Server

[wispy bone]

Having an issue that picking up casteroids with argies makes them fall through the ground everytime. No mods on our server any idea how to stop them from meshing

[warm steeple]

Hi all, when I start the server I see the application in the windows bar, but I can't see the interface. Does anyone know why?

[earnest jungle]

How do we add an admin whitelist? Steamid file doesn't seem to work anymore

[solemn zephyr]

Cheat broadcast message

Works fine for me in game

[violet tide]

Yeah it seems that console or adminmanager are the only two options. Would really like to be able to broadcast without being logged into the game. Hopefully they fix it (or someone figured out how)

[cyan burrow]

anyone have a stack size multiplier command for my game ini

[native wave]

I've been using Arkon for ASE...not sure if it works for ASA though

[celest halo]

parts of it work with some setting changes

[lucid jungle]

Stack size multiplyer is at the very bottom of general settings in Nitrado, no need to add manually

[native wave]

good to know

[cyan burrow]

not using nitrado got a dedicated

[lucid jungle]

in that case google Ark Server_configuration to answer any needs on your server config in the future

ItemStackSizeMultiplier=<float> in the GUS ini

Word of warning, this can really cause weird issues of duplication

[opal osprey]

Arkon works just fine for ASA

[violet tide]

I couldn't find a download link for arkon. The steam forum link doesn't go anywhere

[opal osprey]

copy the link and paste it into its own window, it was doing the same thing to me, but it worked when i did that

[violet tide]

woo. thank you that worked

[opal osprey]

np, DMed you the link just in case

[orchid tusk]

I need help, Im' using nitrado, have a basic modified game.ini but my dinos are getting 0 exp with or without it. Does anyone know what can cause this? MaxExp override is 1

[rugged inlet]

ASA switched to using "Online ID" instead of Steam ID. You could try putting your admins Online ID inside that file to see if that works. I have not verified if it works but it's worth a shot

[violet tide]

I couldn't get any IDs working with whitelisting. I'm assuming it'll be the same problem with admin whitelisting, too.

I tried steam id, online id, steam name, etc... nothing would work

[lucid jungle]

Do you have OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=<value> in the game.ini?

[jade moat]

Anyone having issues with Ark Addition mods right now?

[celest halo]

i dont think they have whitelist it in there, i also tried using custom dynamic config and that dont work either

[lucid jungle]

I get kicked when crafting or moving items, only happend since AA install, thats it so far

Worth noting I havnt heard my players complain of anything like I have seen yet

[vestal cloud]

whats the use of the .arktribe file? needed to remove mine cos server didnt want to start (it was over 1000KB) and i dont see any difference in game after removing it

[earnest jungle]

Annoying, hopefully they fix/add it

[lucid jungle]

Have you tried adding the IDs direct to the ShooterGame/Saved/AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt via the FTP

[rugged inlet]

We are having the same issue. The last 3 restarts I have had to remove a tribe file that was 10x the size of the others. If you delete it the tribe members will login without a tribe

[earnest jungle]

Yeah, also attempted on my self hosted server and nothing. Have to log in manually every time

[random saffron]

Anyone having issues where mods keep becoming outdated or invalid on the server side? How do we update them on server side? Only solution that we can find is removing and re-adding the mods. Happenning daily.

[lucid jungle]

Oof yeah, I would say itll need fixed. Did you verify the IDs you're adding are the same as the ones the game detects on a login?

[vestal cloud]

thats wierd, after deleting it and going in game im still in my tribe with my firend (we're the only ones playing) even tho i deleted that file. I think its a backup of the .tribeark file as its now the same name and size

[loud sphinx]

does anyone else have the problem that direwolves bug through the ground after being grabbed by argentavis?

[earnest jungle]

Yeah, tried the ones that it spits out in the server status window etc

[lucid jungle]

Was an issue I had in ASE if I was too close to the ground and grabbing any small creature with an argy. Seems like you reset their reletive position to the arg's claw and it happens to mesh

[loud sphinx]

even if i drop them from very high they will no longer collide with land
even teleporting them out makes them fall through

[burnt timber]

Hello, after last update my server shuts down in the start up prosses any ideas why?

[lucid jungle]

Id say ask over on Nitrado's discord then, see if anyone has any insight there

[lucid jungle]

Thats a new one, your argy disables collision of the wolves... I got nothing there, sorry lol

[loud sphinx]

all my argentavis do... which is kinda unfortunate

[lucid jungle]

I would almost say its a server issue, backup the items specfic to your Ark and reinstall the server software then load your ark back on it

[rugged inlet]

Check your tribe save files. You probably have one that's massive and causing your server to fail to start. Delete that file and it will restart

[violet dawn]

Anyone knows how to fix this crash when trying to add mods?

"Requested mods failed to load on server."

[burnt timber]

Where do i find those?

[vestal cloud]

saved folder, .arktribe file

[rugged inlet]

in the SavedArks folder

[burnt timber]

Found them thanks! nothing weird will happen if i delete those?

No huge files just a couple KB

[rugged inlet]

Well that's been the issue for our server. One of the tribe files was massive preventing the server from starting up. I deleted the one single file and it started up without issue

[orchid tusk]

It is the default 1, but i am getting 0 exp. Can you help me understand what that means? the max exp I can get is 1 if that is set to 1?

[lucid jungle]

Default showing in the implemented update is 0 (update 189.0) and N/A on server config. I would get rid of the item altogether and test or set to 0 and test

[earnest jungle]

Hmm. Utilities+ and Meat Spoiler seem to be causing me some server crashes

[tardy pine]

Thank you for this! I have been looking for a way to send RCON commands via batch files

[carmine ember]

Is there an issue for server with rockets doing additional damage from the structure resistance setting?

[orchid tusk]

TY

[glossy kraken]

is there a guide to install mods yet?

[lucid jungle]

Yes, if you google Ark Survial Ascended mod install there is a guide and some videos

[violet tide]

Get the Project ID from CurseForge, put -mods=xxxxx,xxxxx,xxxxx in your startup file, as well as -AutoManagedMods.

[supple jackal]

Why do greenhouse corners not provide greenhouse effect?

[burnt timber]

Server wont go past initializing any fix? think it has something to do with mods

[fluid arch]

Disclaimer: If this is the wrong chat I apologize please redirect me where appropriate.

I had a question regarding ASA's server app (steam app 2430930). I noticed that right now I see the following differences between ASE and ASA:
steam@debbie:~$ ls ase/ShooterGame/Binaries/ Linux Win64 steam@debbie:~$ ls asa/ShooterGame/Binaries/ Win64

Is it intended that ASA will not support Linux servers?
or
Is there a separate app ID for the linux dedicated server?
or
Is Linux support "coming soon" and just not delivered yet?

[glossy lark]

why is it that when i click install on svartalheim, the bar for downloading it comes up and then joes away without filling up?

[boreal steeple]

anyone else getting fatal errors when trying to press join server

[delicate lion]

why do i have no console when joining my dedicated server? i can do broadcast on it but the console is the annoying one only acessable on clicking bottom left? how do i enable the better console?

[burnt timber]

Tilde key

[tribal depot]

Anyone having issues with mods and getting into a game?

[delicate lion]

i set different keys for the console its not opening it. my game has to be in english or what the issue? talking about ASA

[burnt timber]

Are all your key bindings set or not? if not you might be bugged

[delicate lion]

like i put the console on tab key and it recognize the key but when i press tab nothing happens. the only console taht is useable is the blue interface one. and im logged in as admin on my dedicated server

[violet dawn]

I cant download some mods in my server, just crashes when trying to open it

[warm steeple]

What is the mods directory?

[burnt timber]

I had the same thing but i chaned my language on my pc and after that it worked

[tribal depot]

Its saying invalid and not installing correctly for me

[delicate lion]

pfff i will try english game language first

[burnt timber]

Same problem overhere looking for a fix

[violet dawn]

mine just crash, says something about Requested mods failed to load on server.

[lucid jungle]

Console key is not tab any more, its `, he key above the tab

[delicate lion]

wait how do i change the language of the game to start with

[violet dawn]

Let me know if you fix it pls

[lucid jungle]

add -culture=en to the launch options

[lone ferry]

unsure on linux support but it needs to be ran on windows server, you can do this on linux virtually with wine or proton (I use proton)

[tribal depot]

I will reset my server and see if it fixes it

[lucid jungle]

Which mods, never know if they are good or not

[tribal depot]

The dino mods

[fluid arch]

I've used WINE a long long time ago and had "unsatisfactory" experiences. Any luck with Proton? Did you get one up and running? How fussy was it? Happy to learn something new if you feel proton is a good option.

[violet dawn]

In my case is svartalfheim

[lucid jungle]

If you havnt played much, then I would do a full reinstall. if you are on Nitrado I always suggest doing the uninstall, install another game, then vice versa

[burnt timber]

@lucid jungle its the ark additions dino's

[delicate lion]

yeah the game console works now... when the game is in english with add -culture=en to the launch options

[lucid jungle]

Nitrado warned that launching that map wouldnt work early on, maybe its still an issue

[earnest jungle]

It's a general problem with curseforge right now. Can't download mods without trying repeatedly even via the in game mod menu

[tribal depot]

I was playing, left the game and tried joining back then it broke. same with another player

[lone ferry]

well i wanst able to get wine running, but ive had my proton 1 up for 2 days

[violet dawn]

Im using dedicated server and I have seen videos os people hosting svartalfheim on dedicated so

[earnest jungle]

Ark additions dinos definitely work since mine were fine like 2 hours ago

[lucid jungle]

Right but Nitrado is just dedicated servers on the back end, same issues may translate. Just a thought, I dont have that map so not sure 100% sorry

[tribal depot]

Leave and join back and let me know?

[violet dawn]

I think it may have something to do with "large" mods, like svartalfheim or additions, bc if I download Utilities + for example I have no issues

[eternal pike]

tysm

[lucid jungle]

Same except for the ceratosaurus being invisitble when killed, thats pretty annoying

[earnest jungle]

Like I said it's a problem with the curseforge service, mods aren't downloading updating etc so the server will error out if you didn't have it installed already

[tribal depot]

any fix?

[earnest jungle]

I had to spam like 30 times to try to DL a random mod via the menu in game just to see if it was working lol

So prolly wait a bit and try again later

[tribal depot]

ty

[sharp moat]

Anyone having problems with mods in Local undedicated servers not working for anyone except host?

[fluid arch]

Sounds good, I'll keep it in mind as a backup option. For now I'll wait to see what the official response is. I'm hopeful Linux binaries are coming as the precedent has been set with ASE that Linux is supported. Frankly running a windows server (and using WINE/Proton) is not something I'm willing to financially support. I'll wait on official Linux support before purchasing.

Curiosity question, when you stood yours up with Proton did it "just work" or did you need to configure some things manually (for example with WINE you'll have potentially endless configuration flags to set to get it actually working in my experience).

[burnt timber]

I think everybody is dowloading atm so wait times i gues

[tribal depot]

yeah issue with the mod support

[celest halo]

with ASE linux binaries didnt come till months after

[silent horizon]

I'm assuming we're all having the same issue with mods causing the bat file to not launch?

[burnt timber]

wrong reply my bad

[sharp moat]

Works for the host but not the people joining. Can't see modded dinos or items or even engrams.

[tribal depot]

yeah they wont install

[fluid arch]

ok awesome, I was wondering what the history/timing was with ASE. Thank you! You answered a question I've had but didn't ask 🙂 Edit: By the time I came along to ASE Linux support was already there so wasn't clear on the rollout history.

[silver obsidian]

Hi, can anyone help me?
I am at OVH on a serverwindows, during all the creation of the server ASA zero worries but at the launch, I do not see the server in the unofficial list...
Here's my bat file just in case; the ports mentioned in it are open.

echo Authenticating with Steam...
cd /d "C:\steamcmd"
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server" +login anonymous  +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

echo Starting the Ark Server...

[silent horizon]

Odd... it was working just fine earlier, like two hours ago. What changed?

[burnt timber]

Bat file is launching server just doenst go past initializing stage

[tribal depot]

I rent a server and sadly cant get on

[tribal depot]

Not sure waiting for a fix

[lucid jungle]

Make sure your filters are clear and if you have a password on make sure you have 'show password protected servers' checked

[earnest jungle]

The curseforge servers prolly shitting the bed

[silver obsidian]

already checked...

[burnt timber]

Probably...

[lone ferry]

yeah it didn't just work, quite a bit of time went into fixing issues external from the game server but on the machine

[lucid jungle]

Whats the server name

[lucid jungle]

I assume since you're using the 'no battle eye' trigger you are launching Ark without battleeye on?

[simple thorn]

Hi all again lol Has anyone been able to get cross ark working?

[celest halo]

lmao maybe in December

[simple thorn]

i mean linking a 2nd server to my island server

[celest halo]

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.

[simple thorn]

god dam it lol

[lucid jungle]

Not until Scorched Earth from what I understand

[fluid arch]

Thank you for your feedback. I'm happy you've got it up and running. I'll step back and monitor. Looks like the dev shop has plenty on their hands atm. I suspect Linux support is a minimum of a few months out as others have mentioned. I refunded my game but will stay informed. When Linux support comes out I'll be back. Sad I can't participate yet. Happy for others though. Enjoy!

[hollow edge]

Anyone have problem when try to download mods ? i can't download some mods but others yes :/

[humble thicket]

I'm also having issues downloading mods for some reason.

[elfin forum]

Hey guys, we try to create our own server. We already started it but we can't find it with steam or in the list ingame. Is anybody here who had the same problem and could help us

[ornate shell]

so it seems you can not build close to drops . Is there something i need to add to my ini file to change that?

[violet dawn]

Welcome to the club :)

[humble thicket]

Glad i'm not the only one. :) Is it just downloading/updating mods on loop for you guys as well?

[violet dawn]

My dedicated server straight up crash when adding one more mod to the list, something about Mods failed to load.

[humble thicket]

Mine is up and working, but updates > returns "no sessions found" and boots me back to the main menu
Rinse, repeat

[violet dawn]

Early access moments again xd

[humble thicket]

Gotta love Early Access.

well, now it's down to downloading/updating 5 mods down from 6. Guess i'll be doing this for the next 3 hours.

[violet dawn]

Best curseforge performance be like

[humble thicket]

Curseforge is also disgustingly slow. Takes me 10 minutes to update one mod

[coarse tulip]

mods be broke af

[proud star]

Curseforge API is down right now

[violet dawn]

RIP CurseForge

[clear sage]

rip

[violet dawn]

Well that kinda explain why my server just doesn't download more mods, the crash message could be more "explanatory" though

[vestal sable]

What are the Minimum Hardwarespecs for the dedicated server? (CPU/Features)

my (old) ark server runs fine (4 small Servers) on a Phenom X6. But the ASA-dedicated won't start (.exe closing after 3 seconds. No Error Messages, logs or something)

[misty skiff]

Has a fix been found yet for the mod download issues? or are we still just waiting it out / spamming install and praying it works eventually?

[terse kiln]

it wont work until the api is back up

wasting your time spamming it

[misty skiff]

I just got told this in the server I play ons discord: Go to your folder : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame and delete the folder "Mods" then launch again steam and it will download it I tried it and was able to download the utilities + mod right after restarting the game

[tribal depot]

Now my server keeps restarting lol

[fair matrix]

i have been trying to do a dino wipe and i cant get cheats to work . ihave a admin password in the gameusersettings and in game i am tying in the console enablecheats password is this not right ?

[cloud sorrel]

I cannot get my dedicated server to accept food and water multipliers.... Soon as we get warm can watch the water go down rapidly or if hurt food goes away worse than on official servers...

@fair matrix type Admincheat then the command

[fair matrix]

i think my character is not admin. how do i make that happen

[cloud sorrel]

With the admin password makes you admin

[fair matrix]

if i type in admincheat Destroy

[cloud sorrel]

Destroywilddinos

[fair matrix]

if i type in admincheat DestroyWildDinos nothing happens. if i type in enablecheat password nothing happens if i type in enablecheatcharacter true nothing happens i have tp be missing something

[cloud sorrel]

Are you providing a password or the word password?

[fair matrix]

i am playing dedicated that i am hosting on my own eqp - i am not playing on te host machine

[cloud sorrel]

Did you add a line to make an admin password?

[fair matrix]

i am replacing the word password with my password i have defined in the ini

i have ServerAdminPassword=Password in the ini

[cloud sorrel]

Try showmyadminmanager

[spiral sapphire]

you have to EnableCheats <adminpassword> first

[fair matrix]

i now see the admin menu

[latent viper]

Hey guys! My mods on my unofficial server are not downloading in the game...is this a new bug they're trying to iron out or am I overlooking something?

[spiral sapphire]

then you can ShowMyAdminManager or other commands, some commands do not work from Console, only from the ShowMyAdminManager UI

[summer star]

Is there a chance that I could join a server without getting killed ?? Or am I always going to get killed

[simple thorn]

curse forge api is down

[cloud sorrel]

The ones that are purple need Admincheat the white ones can just be the command

[latent viper]

Okay, great lol

[simple thorn]

np

[fair matrix]

thanks guys it worked !

[latent viper]

Any estimate on when that will be fixed?

[cloud sorrel]

I fought the purple commands for a while till I remembered the Admincheat part...been a minute since I ran ASE servers

[minor whale]

does anyone know why i cant level my flyers speed even though i selected the setting?

[spiral sapphire]

funny is i can run SaveWorld from ASM RCON panel, or from ShowMyAdminManager UI, but not from Console.

[wise kindle]

Is doesnt work atm. Its likely a bug.

[opal osprey]

Anyone notice either a slowdown in dino spawns after their server has been up for a while? like, whole sections of the map are nearly empty after a while... and would you know how to resolve that?

[native wave]

pretty common complaint I've seen, might be due to them trying to keep the servers up while diagnosing the memory issues they have

[fair matrix]

i have a fix for that !!!
do a dino wipe and then add this to your batchfile
start D:"Ark server"\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe -ForceRespawnDinos TheIsland

[native wave]

yeah, basically a dino wipe every server start

[fair matrix]

vegetation is blocking the wild spawns as an error. it will get fixed. this will force spawn them out of the sky

[cyan burrow]

how do i enable admin on my server

[bronze patrol]

Does PVP protection work ?

[fair matrix]

its not a dinowipe every start its forcing things that cant spawn on the ground to pop in anyway same way in ase sometimes a raptor might spawn inside a rcok that might happen with that code but at least its populated

[scarlet lichen]

if anybody is using PowerShellGSM tool from the ark wiki gg site to manage their ASA server please reach out to me. I have a few questions. I'm got some unexpected behavior happening rn on my server

[floral flower]

Does anyone know how to change the experience and harvest settings in gameini? I couldn't find these options in the file

[bronze patrol]

You need the Game.ini file as well for that

[floral flower]

ganeusersettings.ini?

[grim oriole]

no, game.ini

[fair matrix]

anyone know why i cant pick up a wild bary with a argy ? i can pick up other dinos but not the baryonyx

[karmic obsidian]

Because only Quetzals can pick up Bary's

[floral flower]

where i can find, server or steamcmd folders?

[dawn birch]

anyone wanna play PvE with me on my server?

[fair matrix]

lame this is from dododex about the barys Can you carry a Baryonyx with an Argentavis?
You can use an Argentavis to pick up the Baryonyx and drop it into the trap, saving you some

swear i carried them with argy on ASE

[quartz cairn]

Did the latest server side update fk anyone else my server is stuck in a constant restart?

[rigid helm]

both Fishin and Crate loot quality still set server cap for everything? or they are just way too op to begin with ?

[bronze patrol]

You can find it if you create a local single player first, or make your own https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[bronze patrol]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Game.ini

[junior perch]

Anyone from here playing on the Ark SANCTUARY #69 server?

[floral flower]

thankyou!

[autumn ether]

any way to add mods to a self hosted server yet?

[worthy glade]

Hey all - looking for a home for me and my 4 friends. The unofficial servers we have played on since release have been plagued with wipe issues, wiling every 12-24 hrs. Looking for slightly boosted rates <10x, PvP, low ping for NA, and a solid medium pop.

[bronze patrol]

I have a server running in EU - LGSDK, runs smoothly and is active

[celest halo]

yes

[spiral sapphire]

Did structure limits on rafts change? Anyon eknow?

[bronze patrol]

Anyone know if the offline raid protection works when configured ?

[worthy glade]

How is the ping for NA players?

[autumn ether]

How?

[bronze patrol]

Don't know m8, check it in server browser 🙂

[celest halo]

-AutoManagedMods -mods=modid,modid in bat file

[autumn ether]

the bat will handle downloading and installing them?

[steady loom]

is there any 5-10x out with fast raising yet or no?

[sour holly]

ok, server is running, ports are forwarded, etc etc, how do I actually find and join it in ark T.T

[short hearth]

Can anyone help with Nitrado? Trying to do a dino wipe and server admin can't figure it out.

[sour holly]

5x soon T.T

[reef sluice]

what is the best unofficial pve server to play rn (im from uk)

[velvet spoke]

I like protozz gaming

[tribal depot]

PvP server Savage Beasts 😉

[velvet spoke]

Uncoupled u can try that one friendly ppl small community of very active players

[bronze patrol]

Anyone know if the offline raid protection works when configured ?

[tribal depot]

If anyone is having Mod issues uninstall the mods and reinstall manually

[tribal depot]

Hey

[velvet spoke]

Any anyone got dinospawn multiplier to work

[tribal depot]

Ensure "EnableCheats" is on and then DestroyWildDinos

Sorry "Cheat DestroyWildDinos"

[reef sluice]

whta do you mean by this?

[karmic obsidian]

Dino reference tables are broken. If you clear out caves for some reason only beetles will respawn

[glacial creek]

hey anyone know the correct way to split up ownership of structures? tried to help a tribe and mine and thiers is mixed, tribe goverance was on tribe owned everything, and i play admin solo no tribe yet say i own it..

[velvet spoke]

Regular ark u can add dinospawn rate multiplier with increases amount of dinos on a server since these are like playing pve with 10 dinos on a map

[karmic gust]

Seems like you can't start your server if curseforge is having problems even if you have manually installed all mods

[tribal depot]

My server restarted 5 times before it started working again

Then we had to reinstall the mods manually

[velvet spoke]

Mods seem buggier then when they were on the workshop

[cyan burrow]

project id on curse website is for mods right???

[opal osprey]

They used to be able to carry a bary, but the drag weight got changed so the bary is too heavy now for an argy

[jade wedge]

are all unofficial servers having random crashes/shutdowns/rollbacks every 2 hours or so? curious if to start on a new server or not but no point if its the same everywhere

[velvet spoke]

No crashes

[tribal depot]

No rollback also

[velvet spoke]

We have not crashed once.

[jade wedge]

really

[autumn ether]

my server has also not crashed over the last several days

[jade wedge]

the one im on is every 1-2 hours with 10 min rollbacks, me and 3 tribe members looking for a server we can actually play without problems every hour

[tribal depot]

Day 1 plenty of issues but the only time server's go down is when updates come out

[lament heath]

Is there a guide out there to add mods to a self hosted server?

[tribal depot]

Try Savage Beasts EU server low ping

[velvet spoke]

Protozz gaming if your in na

[final eagle]

Add the mod ID to your bat file (found on the right side of the mod page in curseforge

[jade wedge]

we're EU, but we want a high pop server

[tribal depot]

If more join then pop will be increased

[lament heath]

My friend said hes running it out of steam and doesnt have a batch file.

[velvet spoke]

We only have 15 on most days

[tribal depot]

Hard to get people lol

[velvet spoke]

Yeah only reason we have most ours is we been running ark servers past 5 years lol

[tribal depot]

We restarted ours after a 2 year break Facebook group has plenty in but most don't play anymore

5 years is dedication

[velvet spoke]

Ark ⚛️ s famous for being messed up first few months lmao

We had full cluster just turned it off to start on ascended cluster lol

[tribal depot]

Definitely will be an expensive cluster haha

[velvet spoke]

Yeah but we enjoy it so worth it and I don't expect the nitrado monopoly to last

[celest halo]

lol or 8 years

[tribal depot]

It's the people we meet that makes it fun

[velvet spoke]

They were bad the first year after that it was exceptable messed up but ok

I'm a pre kibble cryopod day one player got it first day of early access

[tribal depot]

I'm a plant x quetzal player from 2016 😂

Then they got banned 😦

[whole copper]

do mods that are installed on the server automatically update on a server reboot?

[tribal depot]

They should do

[tulip hollow]

Thinking about starting a 60 slot server would anyone be interested in joining?

[lapis vessel]

Is there a trick to getting the enablecheats command to work on self hosted servers? I want to respawn all the dinos, but not matter how many times I type enablecheats mypassword it never works.

I've done it a million times in ASE, it's just not working on ASA

[reef sluice]

what region?

[fiery pewter]

Hey did the mods update recently? I tried to install the it for the unofficial, then I manually uninstalled and reinstalled and cant get in the unofficial, is the server outdated cause it didn't update with the mods yet, if anyone knew?
(deinosuchos for example)

[low crane]

For people trying to run a dedicated headless linux server, google "cdp1337 ARKSurvivalAscended-Linux" and github. It will be a script to install on Debian 12 using proton no GUI.

[frail atlas]

Please can anyone at all tell me does offline raid protection work on unofficial ?

[coarse tiger]

has anyone else noticed bugs dont respawn in their caves?

[fair matrix]

dino wipe, then put -ForceDinoRespawn in your batch file spawns are bugged asf rn

does anyone know why no one on my server can see loot crate beems ?

[coarse tiger]

do you have volumetric clouds off

[fiery pewter]

I dont see then either xD

[valid dagger]

44GB consume for one server, ridiculous

[coarse tiger]

they are invis without them

[mental jewel]

I had this problem. Put the passwords in the GUS and not on the command line.

[barren plinth]

Are there any good unoffi pvp servers rn? ( ASA )

[mental spire]

we have the same issue, just restart regulary till they fixed it

[mental basin]

Anyone with a 7800xt gpu know how well ark ascended runs with it

[lapis vessel]

That did it. THANK YOU!

[mental jewel]

👍🏻

[lapis vessel]

Now we wait for things to respawn.... All the players wanted a respawn and now they are complaining there's no dinos. lol

[fair matrix]

no i sm plsying on high settinfs

[naive panther]

is there already some kind of solution for the spawning issues? map seems way to less crowded and in console we have a lot of errors like this:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Water_46 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, DISABLING!

also in some caves dinos dont respawn at all

[floral flower]

try install, run and login with valid steam account, works only for me

[fair matrix]

i have a fix for that !!!
do a dino wipe and then add this to your batchfile
start D:"Ark server"\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe -ForceRespawnDinos TheIsland

[woeful plinth]

how many rockets does it take for stone foundation/wall

[naive panther]

wild dino wipe did not help, gonna do it on restart and check then

[stone shore]

can anyone tell me how to turn on player speed leveling on nitrado

[fair matrix]

adding -forcedinorespawn to the start batch will fix it

[junior vector]

Is the bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling setting still broken?

[stone shore]

i want player speed leveling idk what to add to my coding to enable it

[fresh atlas]

So, I've been running my own server for several months using Ark Server Manager. I realize it doesn't support ASA, so I setup an ASA server manually but used all the same ports as my old server. It seems to start fine, but I can't find it in server list and can't use console to connect to it directly. Any ideas?

[tulip hollow]

NA

[fresh atlas]

Does ASA require some extra ports, or something else I'm missing?

[junior vector]

bAllowSpeedLeveling=True in Game.ini

[stone shore]

tysvm

[floral flower]

instal steam and login on server machine

[stone shore]

that was the last thing i needed to do for my server to be good to run

[fresh atlas]

yep, that's all good. do i need to login using SteamCMD as well?

[celest halo]

you dont need steam on your sever or need to login to it

[sour holly]

its all active, nmap reports ports are open.

its called "ASA Reforge"
can anyone see that server ?

[floral flower]

only appeared in the list of servers when I installed the steam client

[fresh atlas]

I do vaguely recall a while back having to login with SteamCMD or create an API key or something.

[celest halo]

mine shows up fine and i used Anonymous with steamcmd

[sour holly]

how do I login to steamcmd actually

[blazing stump]

has anyone fixed the kernelbase.dll crash?

[crisp latch]

Any idea how to add that on nitrado?

[wary island]

for ASE there was a setting to enable it

[lapis vessel]

What's the best way to shutdown your dedicated server so that it saves?

[deep flower]

use cmd saveworld

[wary island]

as an admin ingame type saveworld into the console

[sour holly]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Land_C_202 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, DISABLING!

Whys this keep showing ?

[crisp latch]

Ok, I'll check the settings, make sure I'm not being derp

[deep flower]

its an Ark thing lmao

[lapis vessel]

Thanks! @wary island and @deep flower

Man I wish there was some feedback on that command so I know it was doing it. lol

[sour holly]

who can help me out with getting it to show up on the list 😎 I have everything done or running but it isnt showing in the listings

[deep flower]

It should show feedback, you using RCON?

[fresh atlas]

Same problem here!

[lapis vessel]

Don't tink so, since I don't know what RCON is. I always used ASM so doing it all from a command line is a new thing.

[summer venture]

The ports changededitI think, but if you look up TroubleChute, his website has the Windows PowerShell string inputs to use to open the ports for your server.

[fair matrix]

anyone else have an idea why we cant see light beams from loot crates ?

[deep flower]

DM me

[spiral basin]

Does anyone know the code so i can build in button cave. For my nitrado server

[summer venture]

AllowCaveBuildingPvE=True in your GameUserSettings.ini

[modest turret]

ARK:SA I need to use admin to make myself a tribe founder of an existing tribe. Ive enabled cheats. showmyadminmanager works fine. I've tried looking at buildings and dinos owned by said tribe and running the command forcejointribe ForcePlayerToJoinTargetTribe 0 using both cheat/admincheat prefix and without prefix but I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? Or is the command ddifferenty in ARK:SA?

[spiral basin]

I have

[summer venture]

I'm kind of annoyed that thr server's normal game.ini and gus.ini have nothing you need to change how you want to play. But you can load a single player how you want it and copy and paste the script into your server .ini

[fair matrix]

how to i "niceley" shutdown/restart server

[summer venture]

Ah. I haven't personally tried to yet, but I imagine it's just broken like the host tether is.
@fair matrix "Quit"

[spiral basin]

Oh k

[hardy pelican]

@modest turret does the tribe have any players left in it

[modest turret]

yes but nobody has access to it. had an issue with backup file.

we had to create a new char but old char are just sleeping lol

[hardy pelican]

maybe just make a new tribe and cheat takeallstructure

and cheat takealldino

[modest turret]

ahh let me try...

[harsh tide]

Does anyone here rent servers from SoYouStart?

[orchid knot]

Hmmm now my server window pops up but closes as its loading the map

[modest turret]

Thanks It worked perfectly! 😄

[deep flower]

one of your tribe files are corrupted

[orchid knot]

How the heck did that happen?

[junior vector]

Is the bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling setting still broken? Have the devs acknowledged it?

[deep flower]

Ark's server update broke it lol

[orchid knot]

How do I fix that with ASA I havent had to do that in a good while in ase

[barren plinth]

Is there an unoffi which has changed boss loottables

[deep flower]

dm me ill help you

[rugged inlet]

Has anyone figured out a way to see structure info while in spectator?

[delicate lion]

how do i change he rates of xp for my sevrer iw ant everything 200x

[golden lily]

Am I the only ps player here lmao?

[hardy pelican]

no worries

[barren plinth]

what?

[delicate lion]

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
XPMultiplier=200
HarvestAmountMultiplier=200
DinoHarvestingDamageMultiplier=200
TamingSpeedMultiplier=200
MatingIntervalMultiplier=200
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=200
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=200
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=200

will this work on dedicated

[barren plinth]

Ja klar, dann ist alles x200

[delicate lion]

ok mal testen

alles umständlich gemacht von server host bis etc junge junge

[undone totem]

Has there been talk of adding a worldsave or something to the automatic shutdown of servers when a mod gets updated? The rollback on 15min backup intervals isn't great but when it happens multiple times a day, there has to be a better way

[harsh tide]

ARK: SA running on windows server 2019 - can be found in the browser. Randomly accepts connections. Windows firewall rules have been added, tried disabling the firewall. rules were also added to the network firewall (SoYouStart).

Has anyone experience something like this? I don't know if its a windows firewall issue or a network issue. Ive been trying to get this game working for our community for days. Our other ark servers are configured the same way and work fine.

[naive panther]

@fair matrix thx, worked fine

[delicate lion]

dosent work on dedicated it seems

[fair matrix]

its so broken i have to restart every 30 min

[vagrant ledge]

not all of those goes in to game.ini, you need to move xp,harvest and taming to Gus instead

[delicate lion]

i only have a gus ini

[young minnow]

These settings only go into usersetting. The rest are game.ini

HarvestAmountMultiplier=200
TamingSpeedMultiplier=200
XPMultiplier=200

[dry brook]

todays the day we get a patch to fix memory leak surely 😄

[naive panther]

xD I wish, our most crowded map was at 88 GB tonight

[vagrant ledge]

Got confused cause [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] is from a game.ini

[delicate lion]

\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer -> i only have GameUserSettings.ini

[celest halo]

so make a game.ini

[dry brook]

holy damn!

[young minnow]

Have you lauched the server? All the files should generate once you load it at least once

[orchid knot]

How the heck do you update mods? keeps saying this one is outdated but there isn't an option for updating them

[delicate lion]

yeah the server is joinable too however its only generating one editable ini file... i will create the other one now and try again

[celest halo]

game.ini is not being made for a lot of people after a start/stop of the server

[fair matrix]

PlayerCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=2
XPMultiplier=2
HarvestAmountMultiplier=2.5
TamingSpeedMultiplier=4
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=2
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=-1
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=4
LayEggIntervalMultiplier=2.5
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=2.5
MatingSpeedMultiplier=2.5
MatingIntervalMultiplier=2
DinoCountMultiplier=1.5

[naive panther]

I think you need to stop it via DoExit

[shy saddle]

How to join a modded server? All the mods are up to date but always reinstalls them?

[fair matrix]

put those and adjust in your gameusersettings txt file

[orchid knot]

type Quit in the server window

[junior vector]

Is there a mod or server setting that makes it so Arthropluera don't 1-shot armor and weapons?

[vagrant ledge]

Just dodge hehe nahh but I dont think so atleast not now maybe later on when its more stable and more mods comes around

[junior vector]

oh well, I'll just disable them for now

[sturdy kiln]

So has anyone tried to trigger fearevolved on an asa server to see what it does.

For science! of course

[vestal sable]

Is anywhere an Infopage with server-requirements? Needed CPU-Features to run the dedicated?

[fair matrix]

wno assets for it but u can spawn in ab dinos

[cinder hare]

anyone know the line in the files where you can change at what level the dinos spawn? We want 300+ level cap for dinos.

[fresh atlas]

FYI, I did login to SteamCMD and re-downloaded and followed TroubleChute's steps for firewall ports and still no listing. 😦

[junior vector]

I use:

DifficultyOffset=2.7142
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10```

in GameUserSettings.ini, under [ServerSettings]

[spice crown]

We got a cheater in our server

[random saffron]

Anyone just having mods break and become invalid or out of date? Like running any mod is mad risky.

We just had the stack mod say invalid. Removed it, put it back on, and it deleted all items farmed/harvested/crafted while it was installed.

[cinder hare]

Thanks!

[boreal sluice]

Has anyone here found a "fix" for the connection timeout when trying to join a dedicated server? It's visible just times out, and noone else can join.

[junior vector]

Am I typoing anything here? Or should this setting work? (It's all on one line)

NPCReplacements=((FromClassName="Pegomastax_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C"),(FromClassName="Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C"),(FromClassName="Arthro_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Scorpion_Character_BP_C"))```

[random saffron]

Just a warning. This doesn't always work and we don't know why. We did that exact thing and it didn't work.

[queen marten]

Anyone know why my mods keep invalidating randomly cant join my server because the mods arent "updated"

[delicate lion]

ok i got the multipliers working its just in the server settings category in gameuser.ini no game.ini needed... i suppose the gameini is only if you non dedicate host.

[cinder hare]

Thanks, it seems there are a few settings that don't work correctly.

[random saffron]

Yea. And we are learning that mods are just too risky.

[delicate lion]

also my server has 1000 players slots now

KEKL

[sturdy kiln]

How in the world do you control that servers memory usage?

[delicate lion]

check this unofficial server name = 1000Players200xALL
1000 slots lets go kappa

[patent grove]

Anyone else having issues launching a dedi with mods today? Worked fina all weekend and tried to do a restart and it will not start with mods.

[delicate lion]

wonder how much a 1000 slot sserver would cost by nitrado ? 50k lul

[queen marten]

yes its exactly the problem im having, they all say installed until I try to join then it says invalid on most of them then I crash

[patent grove]

guess cursed forge to a dump

[queen marten]

just gonna play without them until nitrado/ark or whoevers fault it is gets their shit together

[glad cave]

Make sure you have the Epic security certificate installed. Once I did that, my server showed up.

[glad cave]

have you installed the Epic certificate?
link is at ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Operating_system under the heading "Windows Server editions and crossplay with Epic players"

[grim anchor]

mods on my server say "out-dated" do they update automatically, im confused?

[celest halo]

they would if curseforge wasnt having issues today

[sour holly]

anything special I gotta do for windows 10 to host this server ?

[pale wyvern]

Does anyone know how to force save of self hosted dedicated server?

[glad cave]

use command "saveworld"

[sour holly]

its running on a vm

[pale wyvern]

In game or on the server console?

[glad cave]

server command. I use rcon to send it

[pale wyvern]

Ahh I've never heard of RCON - really new to this, is that a tool to help manage your server? Thanks for quick reply btw

[floral tree]

anyone know why on our server after completing bosses that tek engrams show a red 0 that wont unlock tek? When double clicking to unlock the 0 disappears but will reappear upon closing inventory and reopening the engram page

[fair ermine]

hey i wanted to ask if your still able to host/do a coop server on ark 1?

[hybrid lark]

I think i'm just gonna play ASE until there's a proper server manager like ASM for ASA

it's too much of a hassle to try and run a server right now, can't figure out how to install mods

[delicate lion]

can som1 try to connect to unnofficial -> 1000players200xall ? i need to know if i need to open ports

i can return the favor if u need ;D

[celest halo]

-AutoManagedMods -mods=modid,modid in bat file

[tight ocean]

Des québécois qui se recherchent un serv ?

[hybrid lark]

@celest halo where is this bat file? do i need to create it myself if so in which folder?

[silent meadow]

Big Ups!! Thanks mate

[hybrid lark]

I got a clean install from PowershellGSM right now

[celest halo]

how you starting the server if you didnt make a bat file

[rough flame]

How do you add the speed stat for dinos and flyers on nitrado?

[hybrid lark]

it's a script not entirely sure how it works i'm used to just use ASM

[turbid fractal]

I have heard that 16GB RAM are the minimum for a self hosted dedicated server. Is this correct or do you guys think that 8GB would be enough for a 5-10 ppl server?

[celest halo]

it look something like this start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="Some Name"?MaxPlayers=10?Port=7787?ServerPassword=Somepassword?ServerAdminPassword=SomeAdminpass -forceallowcaveflyers -notransferfromfiltering -mods=928988,928717

[pale wyvern]

I set up my first dedicated server today and it happily took up 15GB with two players...

[celest halo]

8 is not enough, it will do almost 16 with noone on it

[pale wyvern]

Sadly this didn't work for me ://

[turbid fractal]

Oh boi, thanks for sharing guys. How much more RAM does it need for each addtional player on the server?

[hybrid lark]

shouldn't be that much ram per player but 16Gb is a minimum

[naive panther]

anyone knows the itemclasses of the new berries and seeds?

[turbid fractal]

Okay I see. Then I probably will need to rent a bigger server than I thought 😄

[celest halo]

there is also a memory leak right now, some people are seeing it hit 40gb of ram

[hybrid lark]

ok @celest halo i will try to localize the file that has that script in it for you where is it located in the server folder or outside of it?

[celest halo]

the script you use to start it could be anywhere

i have mine on the desktop, some have it in servers binary folder with the .exe file

[hybrid lark]

i have a launch script from PowershellGSM it's the tool linked on the wiki

[red hatch]

what should i set the tether distance to for it to actually change it

[sullen epoch]

is there a way to know which server i was last on?

[celest halo]

i dont use PowershellGSM and looking at its github editing its start script would not be fun

[timber stirrup]

so question, i see the settings in the game.ini for certain things like baby cuddle and egg multipliers. I also see them in the Gus.ini under the test mode [/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/TestGameMode.TestGameMode_C]
Does one overwrite the other? for instance BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=700.000000 seems a lot higher than i want.

[hybrid lark]

thank you that's very helpful

[hybrid lark]

yes it's a bit of a pain to decipher how he made this script, I might just delete and follow the troublechute tutorial
