DinoCountMultiplier does not work, set it from 1 to 1.5 to 2 it doesnt register a change

[hybrid lark]

dino count setting changes only applies after dino wipes

hopefully they release a patch today to address the NPCZoneManagerBlueprint bug.. it really clears out the world lol

anyone having issues with private server coming back up?

[midnight osprey]

yes

well i mean it comes up fine...but i have yet to get into it. ive ran dedicated servers for years and had no problems getting a game server up and running, but this has to be the most insane ridiculous thing with Ark Survival Ascended. No matter what I do, i cannot connect to the server. it's ridiculous!!!!! is there some problem i am not aware of that's going on?

[analog shard]

our server keeps restarting and then going back down

[somber parcel]

Has anyone else had an issue with flyer speed leveling not working on private dedicated? I've been trying everything I can think of and thus far I've been unsuccessful. Tried starting a single player game and copying the game.ini files, tried setting it at command line on startup, nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Driving me nuts.

[nova cipher]

I have not been able to connect at all either

[analog shard]

never comes up on the server list either

[nova cipher]

I even use the join ip:port and it still does not load

[midnight osprey]

same here...says no server found. never shows up in list either ingame

[gentle turret]

That doesnt fix it, I can go to showmyadminmanager and see its still set to 1.0

[zenith bloom]

Do we think nitrado is ever gonna lower prices back to an affordable rate?

[nova cipher]

I have tried everything, IO have two errors that I believe is their side though

[somber parcel]

I've got a private dedicated working and I think it can be connected to externally, I find it in the list anyway.

[peak warren]

any small tribe orp servers?

[midnight osprey]

assuming version 25.41 is the current. i tried updating minutes ago, nothing newer came up

[silent meadow]

@somber parcel @midnight osprey Willing to jump in a chat for troubleshooting?

[midnight osprey]

and that app id is 2430930

would love to if you don't mind

[celest halo]

voice chat is down on this server right now

[nova cipher]

I can host it in my server

[somber parcel]

Yeah I can jump in a VC for a few to help. I spent a loooong time getting this working, so if I can save you some time I'll try.

[celest halo]

they broke the bot so closed VCs here till its fixed lol

[midnight osprey]

ive been at this for 48 hours now LOL

[wet timber]

Anyone who runs their own dedicated server figure out how to install mods? I have -AutoManagedMods -mods=[ModID] in my batch file and it creates a new mods folder, but the mods aren't installed and the server crashes after about 10 seconds of being open

[gentle turret]

Hey Again just wondering DinoCountMultiplier does not work, set it from 1 to 1.5 to 2 it doesnt register a change ive changed it in game and gameusersettings .ini's to no avail

[languid narwhal]

Does anyone know what happened to the Black island server?

[olive pecan]

Hi guys, my server started crashing. Did you get this error?

Fatal error!
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000001f00000115

[celest halo]

that might not work, it dont have a green check on the wiki for ASA

[grim anchor]

I ran to where I died and my bag is no where to be found, I harvested all the bushes in the area and its no where, I died to a alpha btw

[flint fox]

is there a command to type into the server to save and close it?

[gentle turret]

where is the ASA wiki? is there a different way to increase it?

[celest halo]

exit or doexit, depending on where you type it

[celest halo]

ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[stone fiber]

Just looking for confirmation from the masses but: Unofficial server hosting for ASA is at this point very difficult if not nearly impossible using linux command line headless servers?

[celest halo]

there is no linux binaries

[stone fiber]

yep thats what I thought

[stone fiber]

thanks

[grim anchor]

anyone to find my bag easily, it just is gone I guess

[old hamlet]

Did they forget to add the power outlet or are you supposed to not be able to fully power a base?

Does anyone know of a config option to increase generator range and/or limit?

[celest halo]

wireless power

and a lot of gens lmao

[old hamlet]

yes but there is a small radius and you can only put so many generators in an area. we have tons of dark spots

[celest halo]

if thre is a config option dont think anyone knows it, most of what we know is from ASE

[hasty perch]

any fixes to the failed spawner issues?

[old hamlet]

yea thats where im at too. im asking in the modding disc maybe they know something we dont lol

[queen marten]

im starving this argy im taming and he got hit, is is taming effectiveness gonna stay at 100 because he hasnt had any food in his inventory yet?

[gentle turret]

wait so if DinoCountMultiplier is still i nthe game but isnt the normal setting is it just a different setting?

[grim anchor]

how to safely close ark server without data loss?

I keep running into this problem I’ve tried messing w shit it was working fine a hour ago now the server won’t launch

I’ve seen a few ppl with there server crashing w the same issue

[stone shore]

Anyone know why you can't toss out cryos using the loyalty cryo mod asa

Get error can't deploy

[celest halo]

that one has 33 comments on the mod page about issues people have with it

[stone shore]

With loyalty cryopod mod?

[celest halo]

yup

www.curseforge.com/ark-survival-ascended/mods/loyaltyark-cryopods/comments

[stone shore]

Should i use the other cryopod mod then?

[celest halo]

last i looked other ones had bugs where dinos get deleted after server restart

[stone shore]

Hmmm

Im gonna try the other one

[gentle turret]

Anyone know exactly how to set DinoCountMultiplier In ASA since the old way doesnt work?

[distant vine]

how do you enable flyer speed leveling

[rigid sandal]

For ASA does anyone else feel their unofficial server has boosted melee stats when trying to play with official settings xD

[turbid totem]

i havent been able to connect to unnofficials at all

[nova cipher]

So far we have seen that the Dedicated servers are not compatible with Windows Server OS

[torpid spear]

On ASA has anyone figured out how to not have admins put in the password for cheats on a dedicated?

[mossy orchid]

Have you figured this out, I'm in the same boat myself....

[solid gulch]

ASA 25X/Modded Drops is mine and it's been working fine all day. I've been waiting for crashes but havent gotten any. I have the Deino, brachy and Cerato installed, too. So, I thought surely this isn't going to work but seems like it is IDK what the issue is. Hope it gets fixed.

[bronze bronze]

bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True in game.ini

[proven pendant]

Where do you load the command line code to automate tasks on server startup I don't see that option on nitrado. I am attempting to forcerespawndino and the autoforcerespawnwilddinointerval, but I cant find where to place it on nitrado

[mossy orchid]

Pretty sure I have it but I will double check later, thank you.

[hybrid lark]

ive read here earlier that flyer speed wont work due to a bug that needs patching

[mossy orchid]

Oof thanks

[hybrid lark]

anyone here can confirm that they have flyer speed enabled and working?

[somber parcel]

Yeah seems to be a bug. I've tried everything but it simply doesn't work for dedicated servers unless they changed the config attribute for it. Lots of stuff online with people having the same issue.

[hybrid lark]

doesnt work in single player either afaik

[somber parcel]

Ah okay. Didn't know that, haven't even tried single player.

[hybrid lark]

we need someone to make a classic flyer like mod for ASA

[ivory yarrow]

Anyone been able to connect to their own self hosted server on a local subnet? Ive got one running on a windows 10 VM, but cannot connect. All firewalls are off. It doesnt show in server browser, but also "Open IPADDR" doesnt work either.

[somber parcel]

Direct connect doesn't work as far as I can tell. But once it shows up in the server browser it will use your local IP to connect.

[ivory yarrow]

Hmm, im not sure why it doesnt want to show up

[somber parcel]

Id need to see your startup script.

[ivory yarrow]

start .\TheIsland\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?ServerPassword=RogerThat?ServerAdminPassword="abcefd"?ServerPVE=true -NoBattlEye -NoTransferFromFiltering -log -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs

[somber parcel]

Uhh.

[ivory yarrow]

server name is defined in .ini

[bronze bronze]

does the PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player dynamicly change? so i could temp change it for the stupid heat bug and then back when its fixed?

[gentle turret]

Howdy does anyone know exactly how to set DinoCountMultiplier In ASA since the old way doesnt work?

[somber parcel]

I'm not running on a VM. Maybe that? The startup script looks fine. I have multihome=publicIP on mine but I don't know if that's actually necessary.

[summer venture]

Did you get this to actually work? I've yet to see it work.

[ivory yarrow]

Yea thats the thing, im not using a public IP. everyone that connects will be done so via a VPN

[carmine shoal]

Hey guys, quick question — I run an unofficial server and we are noticing that the dino stats are significantly higher than they were in ASE, even with the default game.ini — all the numbers look fine to me when I look in the config. Is this just how ASA is or what?

[somber parcel]

I don't think you can do direct only. It has to be discovered via the server browser.

[normal thunder]

I’m hosting a non dedicated server but my friend who joined cannot harvest or put on clothes. I gave him tools but they turned to blueprints in his inventory. It’s like he’s on visitor mode from minecraft. Anyone know how to fix?

[ivory yarrow]

Ive had a local server show up in the browser before, with just private IPs, just doesnt want to work now

[somber parcel]

I think it's a change with ASA

[midnight osprey]

I installed every C++ Redistrible that I saw on my gaming machine into my server with hopes that could be it, but no dice

[somber parcel]

But I don't know for sure. It could also be the VM. I know windows server has issues. But it's possible that it's just anything on a VM,

[normal thunder]

someone please 🙏🏿

[silver glen]

Is there any guides on making a whitelist?

[hybrid loom]

is there baby argys around the map? if so where and are there nests?

[pulsar falcon]

anyone know how to get a nitrado unofficial server to show up on the server list? I have friends playing on the server but I cannot see it or join

[hybrid lark]

@pulsar falcon is it password protected?

[jagged locust]

Anyone know how to fix servers getting stuck in a reboot loop? Not my server, however everytime it seems to crash the admin lets us know its stuck in a reboot loop and has corrupted tribe files. The fix the first 3 times was to wipe the server. Its been going strong the last 40hours or so and there is allot of progression lost if we wipe. Hoping to get an answer for the admin on finding the corrupted files without reseting everyone

[pulsar falcon]

it is not password protected. just not showing up on the list when I search for its name

[neon portal]

Lost all my dino's that way. XD no mods here for the first month.

[hybrid lark]

mods still need a lot of testing, most of them are very fresh off the devkit right now

been testing them on single player and a lot of them are just bugged and not finished

[neon portal]

Yeah they can't perform magic.

I have this a lot in my nitrado logs.

[2023.10.31-00.59.00:609][420]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Land_29 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, DISABLING!

Anyone any idea what and why it happens?

[hybrid lark]

@gentle turret did you figureit out yet?

[gentle turret]

Nope

[gentle turret]

its definitly a setting but not changeable in the ini

[hybrid lark]

have you restarted your server? what i would do is stop the server, go in the settings ini and change it there then restart server and wipe wild dinos

cause i started my server now and it's set at 0.65 like i set it

[bronze bronze]

it seems to be a bug currently everyone gets it, it eventually empties the server and you gotta restart to spawn back in

i noticed its gotten worse the last few patches

[neon portal]

Ok perfect. Thanks for the heads up. Gonna have 2 daily restarts instead of one. 🙂

[bronze bronze]

I'm doing every 6 with auto restarts

[hybrid lark]

@gentle turret in gameusersettings under [ServerSettings]
DinoCountMultiplier=

[graceful meadow]

unofficial servers, stable and not flooded 😍

[neon portal]

This doesn't work on my server. Stays on 1.0 ingame (ShowMyAdminManager)

[lean anvil]

I wouldnt trust showmyadminmanager 😛 Its getting plenty of the stats completely wrong

[gentle turret]

This works??

[autumn ether]

Any way to add mods to my self hosted without the bat file? I have it running off the steam tool instead

[pulsar falcon]

yeah idk what the deal is with my shit. my friends can find the server by searching for its name but when I try to search for it it says no servers found...

[lavish vapor]

my server wont boot at all idk whats wrong with it it was working perfect last night i wake up today and it just hits me with tribe errors

[gentle turret]

I used DinoCountMultiplier=1.9 there and it didnt work

[lean anvil]

Make sure you have show passworded ticked if your server is passworded 😛

[pulsar falcon]

it isnt password protected

[hybrid lark]

@gentle turret did you stop and restart?

[lean anvil]

tried connecting through console? connect ip:port?

[neon portal]

🤔 that's annoying xD

[pulsar falcon]

that also does not work, neither does trying to add the server via steam view

[lavish vapor]

any have any clue about fixing random fatal error thats stopping my server from booting?

[lean anvil]

Honestly I think the count is fine. Just with SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_ being spammed in console so often theres probably alot less spawning then should be

You could also try SpawnWeightMultiplier though. You have to specify a dino tho

[ember egret]

anyone help with maturation speed and taming speed

[gloomy lake]

anyone know if PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=3.0 is still working? this would boost weight per level

[hybrid lark]

@gentle turret also I noticed something is weird with the way the numbers are written, I'd recommend setting your single player to 1,9 and then looking at the gameusersetting of your single player to see how the game actually wrote that cause for me setting it at 0.65 it was written like 0.649999976 and with that number it shows at 0.65 in myadminmanager in game

you can try to use mine and after a restart see if that changed to test my theory

I prefer when there's less dinos for immersion personally, I dont want a map covered in dinos everywhere so I found 0.65 was really nice after testing a few

[neon portal]

It does, i have it on 1,5.

[gentle turret]

yes I did also im trying to do more than 1 and it doesnt work with more than 1 is the issue

[gentle turret]

I might try SpawnWeightMultiplier but the issue is i havent seen a giga on my server and barely see things like spinos rexes ect, its a personal server just me and one friend but I was gonna buff all dino spawns since my server pc is tanky

[hybrid lark]

that's weird

[gentle turret]

have you tried going over 1 with DinoCountMultiplier=?

[hybrid lark]

with my 0.65 i had like 3 gigas on my map

[gloomy lake]

you sure? i have it on 3 and can't notice a difference

[gentle turret]

[ServerSettings]
DinoCountMultiplier=2.0 like that right? on ASA?

[hybrid lark]

tbh just leave it on 1 and if you want a giga just spawn one..

but yes that example looks fine to me

[pulsar falcon]

ugh, everyone else I have search for the server is able to find it immediately but it doesnt show up for me.

[gentle turret]

It’s more than just gigas, it’s a lot of overworks Dino’s but thanks

[hybrid lark]

overworks?

[neon portal]

Took before and after screenshots.

[gentle turret]

Overworld oops

[neon portal]

U placed it in game.ini right?

[delicate island]

After a restart, 6 tames poofed from existence. Anyone else run into this?

[hybrid lark]

@pulsar falcon you can add a server by ip from steam window and connect to it from outside the game it will launch the game for you and join a game (at least that's how it worked with ASE)

[pulsar falcon]

tried didnt find a server at that address

[delicate island]

no rollback

[hybrid lark]

have you ever connected to it so far?

[gloomy lake]

ya

[pulsar falcon]

nevermind, I am a fucking idiot lol

[neon portal]

I should double check again then. Maybe they ducked it up.

[boreal sluice]

Even better I've got a server I'm hosting on a separate machine, I'm not new to servers, int he other office however it shows in the list but every time someone tries to connect it gives a timeout error, I'm about to give up on this game.

[scenic orchid]

what is listening on port 8888? I specified game port as 7777.

[gentle turret]

Have you tested above 1.0? or maybe its capped at 1.0

[gloomy lake]

I’m testing it again now

[neon portal]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=1.499989986

This is mine. Maybe you have to keep their weird numbers xD

[jade storm]

Unfortunately that doesn’t work currently for ASA

[gloomy lake]

I’ll try that, Ty.

[timid tiger]

Asa no longer uses the Steam network. Therefore you no longer need a QueryPort. It's completely useless on a server. The QueryPort is ONLY for the Steam network.

That's why the Steam Server Browser doesn't work.

[pulsar pebble]

What's the process for transferring a Singleplayer World into an Unofficial? Is it similar to ASE, or does Nitrado block that?

[gloomy walrus]

Where can I ask Wildcard to allow us non-dedicated players to increase tether distance or remove it all together from ASA?

[autumn ether]

How do I add mods to my self hosted server when using the steam dedicated hosting app

[still jay]

does anyone know how to enable loot beams on dead body?

[gloomy lake]

yeah its not working for me...

i did PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=3.499989986 and nothing changed

[pulsar pebble]

Tether distances is completely broken right now, I've tried messing with it in the files too. It's a #bug-reports but I assume its a known issue by now

[gloomy walrus]

Thanks! Still, better add another report to it so they hurry it up.

[neon portal]

@gloomy lake send u a friend req. Will test again after work and will let U know in pm. Will be in few hours tho.

[summer venture]

I've gone from 12-14gb of ram usage on my pc to about 4-6gb of usage for the dedicated server

[pulsar pebble]

There was a patch about that like a day or two ago, they've been working on the memory usage

[summer venture]

the 12-14 was about 24 hrs ago so would make sense.

[neon portal]

Anyone has experience with

ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=1
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=1

I'd love to have the trees etc spawn again closer but not IN my base. Any suggestions.

[hybrid lark]

try at 0.75

[pulsar pebble]

That radius defines the area around both the player and the structure that allow resources to spawn. IIRC, the value closer to zero decreases that distance. 0 would be directly on top of you, and anything past 1 is farther than it already is

[dry willow]

they got a server manager for asa yet?
i been working on a server watchdog script in the mean time. works really well

[gentle turret]

I will try later but even if it goes down to 0.75 there has to be a way to make it go up right?

[pulsar pebble]

values > 1

[gentle turret]

Im trying 1.5 and it doesnt work

[dry willow]

[pulsar pebble]

Have you confirmed the resources in question have completely respawned?

[gentle turret]

Oh oh sorry I was talking about DinoSpawnRates

[pulsar pebble]

Oh mb, I thought you were talking about the resource spawns too

As for that, I'm pretty sure 1 is the Hard-Cap but dont quote me on that

[gentle turret]

my bad too I misread

[neon portal]

@pulsar pebble @hybrid lark tyvm

[gentle turret]

Yeah im still stuck on Dino Spawn rates / how to increase them all 😦

[sleek hatch]

Is there a server that has pvp but no raiding just pvp

[dry willow]

isn't asa supposed to come with a battle royal mode?

[pulsar pebble]

Survival of the Fittest will return, it's just not out yet

Turn down your respawn time lmao

[sleek hatch]

Intrestimg the clasic spam evwry channel to get a response

[pulsar pebble]

Im pretty sure this channel is for setting up Unofficial Servers and Modding

[pulsar pebble]

Im pretty sure that one is just the slider from 0% - 100%, I dont think you'll actually notice higher numbers unless you double, triple, etc

[pulsar pebble]

PvP seems to be default, so might just need to browse around Unofficials to find one that doesnt have raiding as a norm

[hardy pelican]

could you guys let me know if you're still getting the memory leak problem with the new patch

[pulsar pebble]

I haven't been, I assume the patch yesterday solved a bit of it

[hardy pelican]

the patch yesterday didn't fix it

[pulsar pebble]

How's your hardware? Everything else been working alright?

[hardy pelican]

I've got 8 ASE servers running fine, still got another 70gb of ram free but when the ASA server starts using 50+ gb of ram it starts crashing my ASE servers lol

[agile gorge]

im assuming flying speed leveling is still broken?

[pulsar pebble]

I'd advise holding off on that for now if you can, they're changing a lot very quickly so that ASA server is going to be angry and volatile for a bit

[hardy pelican]

it was fine on patch 25.18 before the patches after caused the memory leak

[bronze bronze]

ok that script is awesome.. where would one get it? 😛

[dry willow]

sent to ur dms

[bronze bronze]

Much appreciated

[formal mauve]

Are the unofficial servers having issues too?

[bronze bronze]

all servers will, they use the same software

[formal mauve]

Yeah just realized that was a dumb question makes sense

Thanks lol

[pulsar pebble]

Haha exlcusive rights agreement go brrrrrrr

[bronze bronze]

that... means nothing in this case or what was asked, even if there wasn't if the server software is using 30gb, its gonna use 30gb self hosted, nitrado, insert any server hoster

[shut oxide]

Yo bois have yall experimented with the building changes reguarding death walls and turret towers?

[pulsar pebble]

Just means you can only blame one party

[bronze bronze]

yeah, wildcard.. this isn't a host issue stop being dumb

[pulsar pebble]

Not sure what a death wall is, but turrets got a huge rework. Generators have an AoE now instead of cables, and I've seen some crazy things like putting turrets on the bottom of ceilings too. I dont PvP much, but assuming that may add some extra spice to your tower designs

[pulsar pebble]

Ouch. I'm trying my best you know. :(

[shut oxide]

if you look in building screenshots I already started brainstorming lol

[pulsar pebble]

Electric and Tek generators have pretty decent max ranges, and the new structures means modifications will be much smoother. I'd say try to add more turrets to a smaller surface-area to condense it down a bit. With the top-bottom approach you can theoretically double the amount of turrets per unit of building, so keep that in mind. And you may not have to armor the center as much, as no cable = no weak points that would break the entire network. Maybe either multiple central gens or a top-bottom approach can spread your power distribution without creating areas of focus that will take down the whole network. As always, more gens=longer uptime if that tower comes under fire

iirc, a tek gen may be able to power the entire tower as shown, so that is something to consider

[shut oxide]

A gen powers that whole tower

[pulsar pebble]

So if you can place it in an area where the turrets can protect it, and the wall can soak a lot of hits, they might literally be forced to fight just the turrets or waste more resaurces attacking the base. And the buff to foundation range means you can also make it a LOT more spindley than before, much harder to hit at range

[shut oxide]

All the pillars are connected and are connected to the ground if the walls go the turrets are still there

[bronze bronze]

did we ever figure out if the dino population increase worked?

[shut oxide]

i could also remove all the walls and leave a center and just make it only pillars and see if turrets from the sider could shoot through

[neon portal]

Are there allready skins in the game that we cn spawn?

[pulsar pebble]

I didnt hear back from the other guy, I couldnt get it to work

[bronze bronze]

what was the setting? ill give it a go soon on restart

[pulsar pebble]

In the game menu, Max Count under > Game Rules -> Creature

Since its there, I'm assuming the ini part is under GameUserSettings

[lean lotus]

anyone else having issues with the arkascendedserver.exe binary not loading the command screen properly, it's loading in the background and I'm unable to view it or anything

nvm it was off screen somehow

[gentle turret]

Can I not slide it past 100? in the settings file?

[pulsar pebble]

In the settings file, you put any number you want. My concern was it may only be between 0 and 1

[sharp moat]

Anyone having problems with Local non dedicated server mods not working for anyone except for host?

[pulsar pebble]

There is a lot of issues in nondedicated right now. Aside from mods, I've also noticed that trackers, tames, waypoints, tethering distance, and taming progress are all exclusive to the host

[tawdry finch]

Unofficial Server Exclusive now?

[gentle turret]

yeah i cant go past 1 in the settings file

it only registers 1 as max, is there a bypass? My server csan handle it I used to run 3 times on ASE

[sharp moat]

I figured it would be buggy as was obvious with new release. I just wasn't sure if it was an isolated case with me. Host can see mods, but people joining can't even see mod engrams or mod dinos

[tawdry finch]

Singleplayer mod unlock button

[modest pecan]

We can’t see our server, anyone else notice this?

[pulsar pebble]

A lot of the Ark Additions dinos are broken right now, and I've seen others not able to see modded engrams as well

[sharp moat]

Np then. Will await a fix on that front. 😊

[brave lynx]

Is there a fix to the bugged arktribe files yet? I've been having to manually delete them for about a day on restarts

[sleek hatch]

wait what are the like dinogate walls called

[pulsar pebble]

It may not physically be allowed to bypass that on ASA. I personally dont know the override setting to that particular stat, so you may have to go find that

[warm wyvern]

How do I ask the ARK dev a question? to find out if they can increase the distance between the host and the player in a non-dedicated server it's 200m ..

[wet timber]

Does nitrado allow for inputing custom command lines?

[pulsar pebble]

answered in pve, same answer

[warm wyvern]

Would you like to correct it? or it's voluntary to rent a Nitrado server...

[pulsar pebble]

As of now, only a full server is immune to that tether limit. I've tried several ways, and can confidentaly say that As of Now, there is not a functional solution to the issue

[agile gorge]

no , I sent a ticket a few days back about this and was told its being worked on. feels bad man.

[subtle condor]

I keep seeing this error (and others like it) in the server console. "!!!!!!!!!! SPAWNER FAILURE: NPCZoneManagerBlueprint_Land_C_233 had 20 spawn failures in a row @ 0,000000, 0,000000, 0,000000, DISABLING!" Any idea why it's happening? What does it mean?

[hexed anchor]

You can still host your own, for free i mean.

[warm wyvern]

How ? Not dedicated server ?

[hexed anchor]

With the SteamCMD

[warm wyvern]

How please ?

[visual crag]

I think everyone is seeing this

[violet tide]

Most of the water spawner errors are Piranha. I disabled them and that got rid of most of the water spawner errors. I'm not sure how to figure out what's causing problems in the land spawners though

[pulsar pebble]

Maybe compies? Lot of those little buggers around

[subtle condor]

Do a Google search for "ARK Survival Ascended FREE Dedicated Server Guide" and look for the website TCNO. That is the tutorial I followed. I built a Windows VM on my UnRaid server and am running it on there. It runs pretty smooth!

[white lintel]

Exactly what it says. The Dino spawner is trying to spawn a Dino somewhere on the map, it's failing for whatever reason (blocked? Under mesh? Etc) so it's disabling that particular spawn location. Nothing to worry about

[violet tide]

The problem is as more spawners disable themselves, there's fewer dinos on the maps

[subtle condor]

That's what I was kind of thinking but wasn't sure. As long as my tamed dinos spawn I'm good. 🤣

[warm wyvern]

but I need 2 PCs right?

[shut oxide]

Correct

[pulsar pebble]

And if you are paying your own power bill, have fun

[white lintel]

There's been no info for how these work, or how long they're disabled for.

For example, a spawn point could be an area, in which case, at times could fail, or it could be a hard coded set spot, and if the latter there'll likely be hundreds, if not thousands of them on the map.

Equally, these could actually re-enable when the server is restarted or updated, so we may be seeing the same disabled status multiple times.

Also, if you're concerned about having no dinos, why no teleport directly to the location and see what's actually there, then you'll see whether you'll even notice it being disabled or not

[violet tide]

They're always at 0, 0, 0

[subtle condor]

Yep!

[white lintel]

Ideally, but not essential. Though if you're asking the question it's likely you'll struggle to do either

[violet tide]

Sometimes, though, the server spits out a "FailedWaterDinoSpawn" log file

and that one has exact locations and names which is how you can narrow it down to mostly piranha

[pulsar pebble]

Jellyfish are having issues to rn btw

[stuck breach]

Anyone find a fix for the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address error after restarting a server? None of the backups are working either.

[subtle condor]

Not necessarily. You could probably run it locally. But you could also use VMWare Workstation Player to create a Virtual Machine that runs on your computer. I just have a 2nd computer because I want to keep it online 24/7.

[subtle condor]

After what I went through playing tonight, I don't care if I never see another Piranha again!! Lol 🤣

[white lintel]

I'm sure you could probably install SteamCMD, along with dedicated server and run that and the game simultaneous.

However, I should caveat that with its probably not recommended running both on single piece of hardware.

If you're planning on running that way, just to non-dedi

[violet tide]

Lots of people here are running both on the same hardware with no issues (other than the ones everyone is having). Myself included

[warm wyvern]

OK thanks. I still hope that they will give the possibility of increasing the distance... especially since the adjustment is present but does not work.

[subtle condor]

Yep! You'd need a pretty beefy computer to run both on a single machine. I used SteamCMD on another computer and it's been running smooth. I setup Windows backup to save File History from the Saves folder. I tested restoring a save and everything worked fine.

[peak sapphire]

In case this hasn’t already been answered, the default dino stats are based on ASE 2015. After the great dino nerf in early 2016, dino stats were reduced way below the default 1.0. You’ll find the correct stats in the server config page on the Wiki

[warm wyvern]

R 5600X / 3060TI / 16 Go de RAM ?

[subtle condor]

I had hoped they would remove the tether all together. It's incredibly stupid and massive open world games like Elder Scrolls Online and World of Warcraft don't have a tether. Ark shouldn't need one to function either... I could understand with the past generation consoles but everything we have now should run it no problem.

[warm wyvern]

in addition to leaving it, they reduce it 😅

[elfin sky]

Are dodo's or compy's stronger because a dodo is big but bird and a compy is small but does bite because he is dino and i have army of both and wanted to make them fight to the death but my game crashed and friend of mine does not want to say if dodo or compy is stronger and he saw the fight and i was wondering wich one is more strong but i don't want to make 2 armies again

[subtle condor]

My unraid server is a Ryzen 7 3800X, 32GB Ram, GTX 1050 (I'm using a virtual GPU for the VM so this doesn't matter). The VM I created has 4 cores and 12GB RAM. It runs fine. My actual computer I use for gaming is Ryzen 9 5960X, 64GB Ram, rtx 3080ti. I'm able to run on Ultra with max settings and get 40-50 fps consistently.

[warm wyvern]

OK thx

[ivory yarrow]

do you have issues with servers not showing on the server browser page?

[subtle condor]

I've had issues with mine or my friends not showing up. Usually we just search for it and it shows up. Sometimes we have to refresh the list about a dozen times and then we can find it.

[hollow ridge]

Running ASA on proxmox adds an additional 6 watts to my proxmox host load for a total of 12 watts consumption at the wall. (I5-10500, 64gb ram). It’s a trivial amount of electricity usage. Host on its own is 6 watts, running Asa takes to 11-13.

[ivory yarrow]

Hmm ok, im running mine on a proxmox windows 10 VM, and it just doesnt show up whatsoever, no firewalls no nothing

[hollow ridge]

Have you added port forwarding to your router Rai?

[ivory yarrow]

its all local, everyone connecting is using a vpn
or is already local

[hollow ridge]

And they can access other resources on the vpn?

[subtle condor]

My server showed up for my friends before I port forwarded. They just weren't able to connect until I port forwarded it.

[ivory yarrow]

Yes they can, i host ASE etc

[hollow ridge]

Remove vpn from the equation and see if they can connect via internet rather than tunnel

[ivory yarrow]

It works if i run the server on my local machine, it shows up, just not this VM

[subtle condor]

Do a Google search for "ARK Survival Ascended FREE Dedicated Server Guide" and look for the website TCNO. That is the tutorial I followed. Cross reference the commands and firewall rules it has you create.

[hollow ridge]

Is the vm sat on a different virtual network?

[ivory yarrow]

Yea i followed that one already, did the firewalls rules.

@hollow ridge the VM is locally for me, but for people using the VPN its different, but everything is routed properly. Its just the VM (server host) doesnt want to advertise its server to the browser server.

I read somewhere about needed to install a AWS certificate because windows didnt allow it, but ive lost it.

[subtle condor]

Is proxmox running on another computer or the same computer? Have you ran "ipconfig" in CMD? I was having issues at first because I thought Ark would use the same IP as my server but I didn't realize that my VM was able to grab it's own. Once I knew it was a different IP I didn't have any issues.

[hollow ridge]

^^^^ if it’s not host network you will have a routing issue

See if you can ping your host machine from the guest

[ivory yarrow]

2 different machines, 1 promox, 1 is my windows desktop**

its all on the same subnet for me. I can remote desktop into the win10 VM. and everything is allowed and routed.

[subtle condor]

I never read anything about an AWS cert. Only prereqs I needed to install was C++ and DirectX

[orchid fjord]

Nitrado

Last server update causing server to not start. Won't update, won't start.

Stuck in restart loop once again.

[subtle condor]

Have they tried to search for your server by name? It should show under the unofficial servers tab in the main menu.

[ivory yarrow]

Yup nothing.

if i host the server on my local desktop. They can see and join from the VPN to my PC. But it doesnt work on the proxmox VM.

[subtle condor]

Are they using steam? Is proxmox running SteamCMD?

[ivory yarrow]

Yea everyone is using steam. and I installed using SteamCMD yes

[warm wyvern]

Do you know if the resource map is the same as on The Island from Evolved? What if the dino spawn map is also the same?

[subtle condor]

What if you press ~ in the main menu to open the console then type in "open <public ip>:7777" so if your public ip was 74.234.98.12 (for example) you would type "open 74.234.98.12:7777"

[stuck breach]

Found a corrupt tribe file (much larger than all the others) after replacing it with the backup one the server starts

[ivory yarrow]

I aint using the public ip though, no portforwarding. It doesnt work with local IP either, i was told open is bugged

[white garnet]

does override max quantity not work with mutton and lambchops anymore?

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

ive got several other max quantity codes working right but cant seem to get mutton working

[hollow ridge]

Open works fine for my friends in the US to connect to me

[subtle condor]

Open worked for me too

[ivory yarrow]

Hmm ok then. something is blocking connection with port 7777 then i guess.

[subtle condor]

Copy and paste those firewall rules from the tutorial I mentioned into a Admin powershell window.

[ivory yarrow]

Done that, i tried turning the firewall off as well
Netstat shows something listing on udp 7777
the ip addr is 10.8.0.223, and i am trying open 10.8.0.223:7777

[hollow ridge]

And try losing the vpn. You’re not gaining anything ping or otherwise by using it. Is it WireGuard per chance?

[ivory yarrow]

Im not using the VPN to try to connect. Its all local, and yes its wireguard

[hollow ridge]

Rai your clients will be on a different subnet.

[subtle condor]

Do a network scan for that ip. So if you can get a Mac address or name. If you can get the Mac you can Google the first 6 characters.

[hollow ridge]

Look in WireGuard and see the ip allocated to the WireGuard server

If you were 172.16.1.x it’ll probably have allocated a 10.x.x.x

[ivory yarrow]

I dont see why that matters, if i cant connect to the server from PC to Switch to Server then wireguard is the least of the problem

[hollow ridge]

You said you can connect but your vpn users can’t

[ivory yarrow]

No i can only connect, and they can connect If i host the server on my actual desktop

But no one can connect and server doesnt show up if hosted on the VM

[hollow ridge]

It’s a routing issue. Remove WireGuard from the equation and have your host connected to via clients with a direct ip. It’ll work. I had the same issue with Homer on my network at home.

[ivory yarrow]

But im in the same subnet as the server. Im not even using wireguard to try connect

[hollow ridge]

You should be able to connect locally. If not make sure the rules are correct both in the server host AND your host op system

[subtle condor]

You mentioned something was using port 7777. I would figure out what it is. If there is a conflict that could be an issue.

[ivory yarrow]

Its a brand new windows VM, ill try change the ark server port and use open on that

[pulsar pebble]

That’s not as bad as I thought it would be, pretty cool

[dry brook]

push the update to unofficial servers already 😄

[subtle condor]

You could try sending a support request to Ark but it'll likely take a week or two. Since they're busy already

[ivory yarrow]

Yea ill probably just wait a tad, n see if fixes with any updates

[subtle condor]

You could try starting from scratch again and see if it works.

[tribal depot]

Sorry seems to advanced for me

[ivory swift]

np

[tribal depot]

Did you change anything in the main configuration files?

[ivory swift]

nop nothing

I play the game and after random time, the game crash

[tribal depot]

Oh sorry its the game itself the isn't working?

[ivory swift]

yes it is working but it look like this game is a big bug with little game...

[deft elk]

yea 😢 . been rough ever since

[ivory swift]

True

[tribal depot]

The game has been slightly buggy since yesterday

Especially server's and mods

[humble thicket]

I'm having the same issue but minus the VM. Run the server on my machine, works perfectly. Run it on my server and can't connect. It's not a firewall issue as I can completely disable the firewall and still not connect. Running netstat -ab on the server shows Ark listening on UDP 0.0.0.0:7777 and nothing else. I can literally copy the directories from the server to my desktop and it works!?!?

[ivory yarrow]

Yea its odd, are you using a a adblocking dns?

[brave lynx]

does anyone know what is causing .arktribe saves to be corrupted?

[tribal depot]

Would appreciate the check

[humble thicket]

Nope. 1.1.1.1. I've spent almost 6 hours on this issue and can't figure it out. It's like the server isn't actually listening on the correct network interface on the server. They're considered closed to anything trying to connect. Using the MultiHome argument with the server IP didn't change what netstat returns.

[ivory yarrow]

for me netstat says its listening on all interfaces, hence the 0.0.0.0

[humble thicket]

Sorry, I meant it's like it's not actually connected to the interface, despite listening on all interfaces, if that makes sense.

[ivory swift]

and we paid 40€ for this... 😡

[tribal depot]

Silly question is this personal run server and not rented? Ran on / by personal network?

[ivory yarrow]

ah ye. im not really sure why its not working, the machine has internet, all firewalls are off. It just doesnt wanna work lol

im tempted to install ark on the actual server host n see if that works lol

@tribal depot Yes it is

[ivory swift]

try maybe to put the IP from this machine in DMZ in your rooter

[humble thicket]

Yeah. It's the Steam dedicated server on a personal machine.

[tribal depot]

Okay are you running on a 5ghz network channel or 2.4?

[humble thicket]

I had the same idea but no graphics on the server means I wouldn't be able to run it.

[ivory yarrow]

Its all wired.

@humble thicket Yea i do have a gpu i could pass in

[humble thicket]

Wired ethernet. I can connect to ANY other service on the server perfectly fine (remote desktop for example).

[stable merlin]

Im running a server on nitrado and I set the max level of Dinos to 300. When venturing most levels I see are below 100 and till now I only saw 2 that were level 250+. Does anyone know if theres a setting which needs to be adjusted for the chance of spawning higher levels

[ivory yarrow]

Yup same for me, even ASE worked

[tribal depot]

Ok ty

[humble thicket]

Yep. Exactly the same situation. I can run my old ASE server perfectly fine.

[ivory yarrow]

im gonna try run a hairpin portforward and use the router as a connection addr (.0.1 etc)

[humble thicket]

I'm going to have to assume it's a bug in the ASA server. One interesting difference is that the server won't show up in the Steam servers list regardless of where I run it.

[ivory yarrow]

Well apparently they dont use steam servers in ASA, they call back to a server on AWS cloud (i heard, not sure if correct)

[humble thicket]

That's what I assumed.

[ivory yarrow]

I read somewhere, someone needed to install an AWS https certificate for it to advertise the server on the browser, but i cant find where i read it

[humble thicket]

Meh, that's a future me problem.

[brave lynx]

Has no one else encounter corrupted tribe data on their dedicated servers?

[wet timber]

In case you didn't already fix it, I did manage to get mine working. The -AutoManagedMods should actually be lowercase. So -automanagedmods. Then it started up properly and it made a new folder in the same directory as the server executable which had the mod inside. After that I just had to add the mod id inside the "gameusersettings.ini" with ActiveMods=xxxxxx

One other issue I had though was that I couldn't confirm whether or not it was actually working. The mod was supposed to add a section into the gameusersettings file for me to edit but it didn't, I had to copy paste that in manually. But after I did that I tested everything out and it worked just fine.

[pallid kestrel]

Anyone else still getting corrupt tribe file based update loops?

[brave lynx]

I have to delete corrupted tribe data every restart

[harsh stump]

Does anyone know if I would be able to host a server off the pc I’m playing on with 32gb on ram and a i9 12900k

[brave lynx]

if 70 players, it'll be close

[harsh stump]

I have like maybe 10 people max playing

[humble thicket]

I can confirm my issue is not port, router or firewall related. Wiresharking the connection from both ends shows that there is traffic going to the server via the correct port when using open in game. It's that the Ark server itself is not responding. So it's either that it's not bound to the interface, despite listening on 0.0.0.0 or it's just ignoring the connection completely. An interface problem seems more likely due to it working if I literally copy the files over to my computer. As for where to go from here, no idea.

[elfin forum]

Hey do anyone else have Problems to start and find your own Server for the first time?

[brave lynx]

10 people wont be an issue, my system only goes to 40GB of ram at 70 pop, when there is only like 15, it's like 12-15 GB. However, the ram usage fluctuates quite a bit. Your CPU wont care about the server, as the server can only use 1-2 cores anyway.

[ivory yarrow]

Yup same, just tested with wireshark. Udp is senting and receiving from server, with good ports

[celest halo]

Your server have the epic certs

[bronze bronze]

the epic cert will help people also having trouble finding it in the list

[ivory yarrow]

teach us the way

[celest halo]

ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup under crossplay with epic part

[bronze bronze]

yup

[celest halo]

They use the epic network with asa instead of steam

[ivory yarrow]

cool will look

[celest halo]

Witch is why you don’t see a query port open on server

[ivory yarrow]

hmm it says windows 10 will have them, but i guess not. will install anyway

[bronze bronze]

whats the volumetric clouds turn off command again?

[ivory yarrow]

r.VolumetricCloud 0

[bronze bronze]

ty

[timid tiger]

install on your server the epic certificate to root thrust and then works..

[ivory yarrow]

@humble thicket it worked

[rose vine]

Anyone knows if Wildcard is already looking into the Spawner failures on private servers?

[still jay]

anyone having issues with corpse loot not having a green beam shooting out of it?

[ivory yarrow]

they are

[barren plinth]

They need to fix rockets etc ASAP

[rose vine]

❤️

[hexed anchor]

So they fix memory leak issues for dedicated server at 80% ?

[humble thicket]

Well I'll be damned! Not something I would have thought would affect a direct connection over a local network...

[harsh stump]

so i have a server up hosted off my pc but when i try and join the screen on the game just turns black and never loads but the game doesnt crash anyone know what could be going on

[humble thicket]

Thanks for the solution! Would not have thought that'd be the problem.

[hexed anchor]

It's a game problem, not you're server !

[ivory yarrow]

how much ram you got?

[harsh stump]

32 gigs but the ram isnt the issue because i was just hosting the server and joined another server with the game running and my ram usage was only at 78%

[barren plinth]

I also had that, i Tried joining multiple times, then it worked

[harsh stump]

let me keep trying

[barren plinth]

Gpu ram

[harsh stump]

a server has nothing to do with a gpu

[barren plinth]

I had that issue, was running the Server localy and then my GPU was out of memory

[harsh stump]

hosting a server doesnt use your gpu

[barren plinth]

Ik, but I still had that issue

[harsh stump]

weird idk. but i have more then enough cpu power and ram to run a server for 10 people not sure why its not working

[barren plinth]

Whats the Problem?

[harsh stump]

the black screen when trying to join the server

[barren plinth]

Just try to join multiple times

[harsh stump]

i have it doesnt workj

[still jay]

anyone having an issue picking up fish? It used to auto pick them up after i killed them but now I cant pick them up at all

[celest halo]

They say that but in normal WC fashion have not released the update to public branch yet

[hexed anchor]

We got update on it in my memories, this morning

[celest halo]

I checked steamdb public branch has not been updated in 2 days

Asalive branch got one 6 hours ago

[celest halo]

That is a local webserver listening on localhost

[hexed anchor]

But we got an update !

[celest halo]

Mine is still on 25.41 and says upto date

[hexed anchor]

hm strange

[coarse tulip]

Anyone know how to use rcon for asa dedicated server?

[hearty pivot]

same here, can't even join the server without the unetconnection error

[red summit]

with the servers crashing due to tribe corruption anyone know a faster way to give the tribe back to the player ?

[scenic frigate]

Same

[scenic frigate]

What is the current solution? Just want to know in case

[red summit]

doing each part bit by bit

[celest halo]

I'm not home so don't even know if can connect to mine, could last night though

[red summit]

because the tribe is corrupted you cant use forcejointribe you have to do bit by bit

[dull oyster]

cheat takeallstructure/takealldinos then just create a tribe add the player and pass leadership on to them

[red summit]

dose this work tho ?

[atomic adder]

Has Wildcard state any intention to build the linux binary for ASA server?

[dull oyster]

yes it works I did it last night

[celest halo]

They have not said much at all about the selfhost dedicated server

[bronze bronze]

they have been kinda busy

[ashen burrow]

Has anyone attempted to ask for the pay in difference. A server use to be I think $29.99 vs the now $24.99

[olive talon]

https://youtu.be/-c6T97wkY38?si=3SBJrJfKZvJ0E3q4

[cobalt cave]

Any predictions on console date??

[slate lichen]

Prob one or two weeks still until it gonna release

[wild path]

done that friends can't join

[olive talon]

That was found by one of our community ambassadors @south wave , I have not attempted it.

[tribal depot]

Early November is my guess

[ivory yarrow]

its a good guide still, worth the pin

[kindred patio]

still on 25.41

[atomic adder]

@wild path can they see your server they just get rejected when trying to join?

[wild path]

yup

[delicate lion]

bro the game even loses the ability to display favorit servers or recently joined so if you didnt save the server numbers ur up for a guess

[wild path]

connection timeout every time they try to join

[mild lion]

Sounds like a port forwarding issue

[atomic adder]

Go to taskmanager, details, find the ark server and find its PID. Then run netstat -aon | findstr {PID} in powershell and tell use what it shows

[pallid kestrel]

Anyone know what might cause corrupted tribe file?

[atomic adder]

probably forcibly closing the server while the tribe file is being updated maybe? Either by server crash or manually closing it.

[wild path]

in the processes ya?

[atomic adder]

There is a tab on the left called "Details", but you can right click the process and click go to details

The details view is where the PID is

[south wave]

Sounds like a network issue then, not a hosting issue xD

Try reset router, forget and reconenct to network

[atomic adder]

Also, you can turn your firewall off completely as an easy way to make sure that isn't the issue. Then you can turn it back on if that fixes it and make sure you add the ASA server to the firewall exceptions

[ivory yarrow]

Is it running on the same machine? or do you have 2? Are they on the same network?

[wild path]

i usually have it off

[wild path]

i run it on my machine yes, i can connect everytime with no problem, they just cant

[ivory yarrow]

You have portforwarding set up?

[turbid totem]

im getting this as well

i havent been able to play since launch

[wild path]

mhmmmmm

7777 7778 27015 27020 on both

[atomic adder]

try forwarding 8888

[rigid helm]

i might be dumb, but where did you find modids ?

[wild path]

i just did that lets see

[merry root]

Mod ids are project ID's on the curseforge website

[deft wind]

Project ID = MOD ID

[humble thicket]

Has anyone got whitelisting to work? I know they now use OSS ID's instead of Steam64 ID's but it appears the game doesn't read the PlayersExclusiveJoinList.txt file anymore.

[rigid helm]

thanks

[turbid totem]

port forwarding could be the connection timeout issue?

[wild path]

still connection timeout

[deft wind]

and u need only the start parameter -automanagedmods -mods=<MODID-1>,<MODID-2> With ASA you no longer have to write anything in the game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini for mods

[atomic adder]

And you definitely have your 7777 and 7778 UDP forwarded right?

[wild path]

mhm

[hearty pivot]

if you get it sorted why that timeout happens, I am interested we have the exactly same issue

[turbid totem]

yes please @ me as well im having the same issue

[celest halo]

27015 is not needed, 27020 is only needed if using rcon, 8888 is not needed

[atomic adder]

@wild path what is your public IP?

[slender shale]

Fix for this?

[ivory yarrow]

You probably shouldnt just sent this

[wild path]

it's public

[sage swan]

Does ASA use the same lines of code for server coding as ASE?

If not, does Beacon support ASA to help code the server a little easier?

[ivory yarrow]

I guess, i guess i personally wouldnt just incase

[pallid kestrel]

yes, some haven't worked, enable flyer levelling, mutton stacking and ORP (pve) haven't worked, but the code is all the same for everything including things like auto engram unlocks

[clear bronze]

Has WC said anything about dedicated servers for Win10 version?

[sage swan]

Sweet, thank you

[summer venture]

people can literally screw your life up with your public IP, "public" isnt literal.

[celest halo]

Most of GUS and game ini files are the same, something's don't work on asa that did on ase

[proven umbra]

so flyer speed is still not working?

[atomic adder]

@ivory yarrow anyone who connects to his server once its online will know his IP

@wild path I can't ping your 7777 and 7778 so something is wrong with the port forward

[sage swan]

I'll have to find out what else doesn't work then as i mess with it

[static cedar]

I've noticed breeding settings don't seem to work currently on unofficial servers

[celest halo]

You won't get a ping reply even if it is right

[summer venture]

Well, he will also know their IP, if you're doing a public server you should be using something to mask it.

[ivory yarrow]

Yea i know

Also if..... what Stolenvw said

[atomic adder]

What are yall saying? Are yall all using proxies? If you are self-hosting a server of any kind you are quite literally exposing yourself to the internet.

[junior trout]

Ppl, you updated to 25.49 on server with success? Mine keeps at 25.41

[celest halo]

.49 is not out yet for public use

[junior trout]

F, thank you brotha

[atomic adder]

How so?

[celest halo]

It's a normal WC release they update official then hours later release for public

[celest halo]

The server listening on udp port don't know what to do with a icmp ping request and ignores it

[atomic adder]

I didn't do an icmp ping request

nping --udp -p 7777 107.145.66.100

[ivory yarrow]

more the fact icmp doesnt even use ports lol

[celest halo]

Ping default protocol is icmp

[ivory yarrow]

that only really works if the server is programmed to respond to the format of such request. If it isnt it probably just drops the junk data

[atomic adder]

Just try it against my server, it replies and confirms my server is online

then try it against yours, then try it against @limpid wave

[atomic adder]

You know what I was ahead of myself and was misreading the output disregard what I said lol

[wild path]

i mean i sent it to you, did I type anything wrong or it's just an isps/router diff LOL

[ivory yarrow]

I tried it and my cli just closed lmao

[atomic adder]

This is a command you run from powershell not ark

[ivory yarrow]

Yes i know

[celest halo]

www.ipvoid.com/udp-port-scan/ will show Open|filtered if its forwarded right

[ivory yarrow]

my PS was not responding for like 2 seconds then closed. i think i have a broken nping

Can someone who is online test my server please? Had joining issues yesterday [Savage Beasts]

[neon raft]

Does anyone use Nitrado to run a server?? and how the heck do I make myself n admin?? I can’t do any admin cheats or nothing like that

[tribal depot]

Type enablecheats and password

Then type in normal chat to see if it worked

[ivory yarrow]

cant see it

[neon raft]

I’ll try it again but it doesn’t seem to work! I can’t do destroywilddinos or volumetriccloud notta

[tribal depot]

Put cheat infront

[ivory yarrow]

you can do r.VolumetricCloud 0 without admin

[neon raft]

For some reason on my server it wont let me! I can do it on single n official but it won’t let me punch anything in, I’ll get to the puter and try again

[tribal depot]

Cheat destroyWildDinos

Should work if admin is enabled

[neon raft]

and to enable admin you just enable cheats n password?

[flint pilot]

Battleeye files could be corrupted

[tribal depot]

Yes

[neon raft]

this is for ASA not ASE too if that makes a difference

[tribal depot]

So for me :

EnableCheats Password
Showmyadminmanager
Cheat Destroywilddinos

[neon raft]

I’ll giver a go, you on xbox I take it?? I was gonna try n help look for your server

Perfect, thank you

[summer venture]

Wish they would fix the flyerspeedlevel already, i even downloaded the devkit to try to find it and the host barrier blueprints and they did not include them... cant even make a mod for it using their blueprint.

cant fix something i cant turn off or tweak...

Also, if someone enjoys a faster paced game with little time to play But still hard to kill/survive I can share a notepad with the settings i have found to work for now.

[mild lion]

@summer venture sure could I take a look at them?

My server is really highrate with 600 dinos but still need to tweak a few things

[neon raft]

Do you have to make yourself an Admin?? or aslong as you put the password you’re good

[summer venture]

Sure, wife and I feel it's not bad for only having an hour or 2 of a decent sleep night and still getting to play 😂

[mild lion]

Password only works just fine @neon raft

Anyone played on the mod map? Any good?

[white tartan]

I took a look and found an area that wasnt complete so turned it off.... feels and looks nice though

[mild lion]

The Island is hella boring imo so thinking about trying it out hopefully they are updating

[frail pond]

anyone know where the dwarven forge is on svartalfheim?

[fair matrix]

Is there a line i can add to my server settings to disable saddle durability while keeping the durability mechanic on other items ?

[fiery comet]

Anyone else having their nitrado server keep shutting down without their knowledge??

[mild lion]

Your best bet would be to look through all the configs @fair matrix https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[fierce citrus]

Is anyone having an issue with nitrado servers where some creatures will be unexplainable disappearing when you log back in?

Nothing in tribe feed at all, not on tracker just vanished

[mild lion]

Sounds more like a mesh problem with the game itself

[fierce citrus]

Mesh problem?

[mild lion]

Yeah like falling through the ground or through walls

[fierce citrus]

That would make sense but I feel like I would still be able to track them right?

[mild lion]

You can track them

[fiery comet]

If u are using the cryopod mod yes this happens to me

[fierce citrus]

Yea they're not showing up at all, and for some reason it's specifically Argus

@fiery comet that makes a lot of sense all the creatures that disappear have been in cryosickness or have been in a cryopod now that I think about it but it's only been the argies for some reason

[river tinsel]

hey guys someone has been able to force to join tribe as an admin ? the command doesn't work for me

[rich magnet]

cheat forcejointargettribe?

[mild lion]

Yup that mod has alot of problems and the creator said hes trying to fix it

[fiery comet]

Ok my server keeps stopping and restarting I am not touching it..nitrado.. any ideas ?

And @fierce citrus yes I lost all my Dino’s with cryos

[river tinsel]

doesn't work

[fierce citrus]

@fiery comet mine was doing that earlier, if you reload the page enough times it'll let you force stop the server and then you can restart it from there

Sadly I can't remove the cryopod mod yet because my friend on the other side of the map has dinos in cryo so it'll delete them if I get rid of the mod

[barren plinth]

Is there any way to remove the leafes of trees in ASA?

[fierce citrus]

Are the other cryo mods any good? I know there's like 4 or 5 others atm

[river tinsel]

is the anti raid off working ? did someone try ?

[barren plinth]

Please switch to steam cmd...

[fiery comet]

If the Dino’s were ever in cryo, they will still be deleted even if they aren’t cryo’d now. All Dino’s every used with it are considered gone once u restart the server anyway

No cryo mods are working right now

[mild lion]

@fierce citrus I decided to not use the others cry mods. Im gonna wait for Dino Storage V2

[fierce citrus]

Oh okay then I'll just remove the mod and give him the admin code so he can spawn them in at the level they were, because he has a breeding pair of max level argies

[gloomy lake]

Is anyone else having a lot of issues with the mods in Nitrado not staying up to date with versions of the mods in game?

[fierce citrus]

Also if anyone doesn't have it, the custom Dino level mod is working wonders on my server😂

[fiery comet]

That could be months btw

[fierce citrus]

Yes, I usually just uninstall and reinstall all my mods in the mod page before I join server @gloomy lake

[fiery comet]

I can play even tho they say out of date and they work fine. Also the death inventory keeper has been working great

[gloomy lake]

Im afraid to install mods on mine because I don’t want it to prevent people from being able to easily join lol

[fiery comet]

It doesn’t prevent people. The process is a lot better than it was

[mild lion]

@fiery comet yeah its alot better than my dinos disappearing lol

[fierce citrus]

We were using the death inventory keeper mod for a bit one I heavily used for single player ASE and it ruined the experience for this game so I immediately removed it lol

[rain widget]

mods cause restart loops currently apparently

[fierce citrus]

@fiery comet I'm going to test the loyalty ark cryopods mod in single player and let you know if it's good or not

[fiery comet]

Some of the cryo mods need a mind wipe and such to work too which I’m not doing. And yes lemme know

[fiery comet]

Is this why I’m continuously seeing restart on my server and can’t get it up at all ?

[deft wind]

Us the mod HK cryopod and Cryofridge - 928641 all problems should be resolved

[fierce citrus]

@fiery comet I have autoengrams installed so it hasn't been an issue for me so far no mind wipe needed

[fiery comet]

Has this been testing?

[cunning pond]

are each survivor files saved as one file or for every survivor its own file? (ark s e)

[deft wind]

I tested it and there are no more problems when restarting
at least with me

[fierce citrus]

Okay

[cursive wigeon]

been running servers on Win Server for years and never have had a problem... even with ASA since day 1 the DS went public.

[fierce citrus]

Yea loyalty doesn't work

[fiery comet]

Interesting. Does it require anything special or more plug and play when downloaded

[rain widget]

if you have mods yes i have this issue without mods but most are getting it with mods

[deft wind]

is plug and play and the Cryopod and Cryofridge can be crafted in inventory

[celest halo]

Dedicated server update is live to public now

[fiery comet]

Is this a new thing? I didn’t have this until today

[rain widget]

nah mine started 2 days ago its been a big thread in the nitrado discord for a couple days now we dont know if its nitrado or ark

[fiery comet]

So u have their discord by chance? This is a weird bug for their servers.. doesn’t look good for them

[cunning pond]

anyone know why i cant search for mod id on ark server manager

[fair matrix]

Patch notes ?

[celest halo]

Patch notes been out for hours #patch-notes

It says I have no access to that

[deft wind]

is there a ASA server manager? or the old one?

is there something we need to enable for server mods to auto-update? i have automated ark installed on the server, and have restarted twice now and the mod version on the server is still two versions behind

[celest halo]

Is it possible to enable flyer carry of private servers?

[celest halo]

[olive sleet]

oh you're right, no clue what my server updated to around that time then

[celest halo]

steamdb public branch

[whole copper]

i was just able to download 25.49 on my server from steamcmd

[cunning pond]

i got it now dw

[feral nexus]

why cant i see drop beacons of light

[rain widget]

anyone know what specs are needed to run a dedicated server

[cursive wigeon]

a LOT of memory, depending on player activity it can go from 20g to 100+g within 12 hours

[celest halo]

they changing

[fiery comet]

Ok I may end up installing this. Trying to fix my restart loop now tho :/

[fierce citrus]

Yea like I said just reload a crap ton of times and then forces top your server, and uninstall and reinstall mods before you login to your server it should stop it hasn't been doing it to me anymore

[neon raft]

@tribal depot It worked dude!!! Thanks buddy

[tribal depot]

Np happy to help 🙂

[tribal depot]

For me I stopped my server for 10 minutes and restarted, after a few restarts it started working again

[fiery comet]

Ok I am trying this then. I have left it off around 15 min so goin to start it back up soon and see

[tribal depot]

It should do a few more restarts and then work

[feral nexus]

why cant i see the beacons from loot drops >.<

[tribal depot]

What mods do you have? I did remove a few and also saved my configuration after a few changes

[tribal depot]

Sounds like a visual bug

[lapis horizon]

same here, I only see pinging rings coming out of it when it falls, and when it lands- no beams or anything.

[silent spindle]

Hello, i am curious if anyone has figured out how to connect Water Pipes to say a Cooking Pot, or how to extend the range from the ocean to ur base?

[feral nexus]

yee only things i can see is the rings too ye

[celest halo]

Did you set r.VolumetricCloud 0

[feral nexus]

yup

[fiery comet]

Ok it’s restarted and now looping. So guess we shall see

[celest halo]

That might be why, I seen someone say setting that makes it so can't see supply drop beacon

[tribal depot]

Finger's crossed

[feral nexus]

ohh how do i turn i back on

[tribal depot]

Put a 1 not a 0

[celest halo]

Setting to 1 should turn it on

Is there something specific you need to do to enable VOIP on dedicated ASA servers?

[celest halo]

That's probably from global illumination settings

[feral nexus]

ohh

ty it was the global illumination!

[celest halo]

You're welcome

[fiery comet]

Ya technical issue and annoying. I like nitrado until today

[low crane]

Hey when using a steamcmd and running the server 2 questions:

1. I port forwarded but it is not showing up in the unofficial / non dedicated lists, is there a command I am missing in my start up arguments? (I can access the remote server via console open <ip> command)
2. Is there a way in the game settings INI file to add password? (not on the start update commands which I think is just ?ServerPassword=<password>)
   ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="dino dash"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20 -log

[celest halo]

Don't know if you missing a command when can't see your start arguments lol, you have the epic certs installed on the computer?

[low crane]

lol fair enough ill update the above.

[fierce citrus]

Yo anyone wanna join my server, we'll be doing a couple 100 days, server will wipe every 100 days right now I just need 2 other people, just message me if you're interested

[elfin sky]

pls 😦

[elfin arrow]

I can't get my dinos to spawn with high level even with override diffiulty, is it normal ?

[tribal remnant]

hi anyone know a solution to my friend not being able to search for my non dedi? my bf can find and join no problem but our friend can’t

[fiery wadi]

Just went here to ask this. I forwarded the ports and can join my server via public IP via command box. But I can't find it in the unofficial server list. Anything I need to do to get it there? Or any way to add the IP to my favorites or something?

[celest halo]

Script looks fine, queryport is not needed anymore. You have the epic certs installed from here ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup under crossplay with epic part

[low crane]

I don't but I will add them, I thought this was only for -crossplay start up argument or is it all the time now?

[celest halo]

ASA now uses epic networking full time

It don't use steam network backend anymore

[low crane]

Oh gotcha thanks

[celest halo]

Witch is why queryport is not needed and never gets opened

[robust kindle]

has anyone else noticed a massive drop in framerate since yesterday?

[low crane]

Great that will likely fix that issue. You seem versed in the server realm. Do you know when setting the password on a server to test in the console is it open <ip>?<password>

[celest halo]

Not sure, never used console to connect to server

[turbid garnet]

is there a way to increase tether distance?

[deft wind]

Is there a ASA server manager this announces restarts on the server via rcon?

[somber talon]

Has it any solution for low dino count and respawner error messages?

[analog plover]

someone know how i can allow to level up the flyers speed?

[wicked geyser]

So the official is deploying 25.52, wonder what's changed in it.

[rigid helm]

hopefully dino spawn fix

[violet tide]

not likely. they're focusing more on stability fixes than gameplay fixes

[hollow lintel]

Is there any way to run more than one server using steam's asa dedicated server tool? Or do I need to switch out the save files?

[rigid helm]

this must be recent bug, til yesterday everything was just fine, apart the high ping due to high pop

[manic edge]

Anyone know the Ini command to remove the generator limit?

[cinder hare]

Crash in runnable thread RHIThread

Anyone get this crash in dedicated server when your usually in an inventory of a smithy, or box?

[fringe wolf]

A box next to a fire

[olive pecan]

I had this error making the server unloadable

[cinder hare]

The server comes up and down fine, and I'm able to get in every time. It happens every so often but usually when im going into an inventory :/

[olive pecan]

Ok, mine is similar, a crash on the startup:

[hearty pivot]

Any1 have a solution for not being able to join a dedicated server of our own, the host can. I can join other servers just fine. Ports are open followed the instructions is in the video that in the pinned messages. The server files was missing game.ini which we did add ourselves.

[celest halo]

who knows they not good with doing patch notes for every release, and are worse at keeping public up with official

[rigid helm]

for how long you guys have the issues with dino spawns ?

[fiery comet]

Hmmm I just love paying for a server that doesn’t work thanks nitrado

[celest halo]

on and off since day one

[tender root]

is there a config, that enables building on volcano in ASA using Nitrado as a host?

[junior vector]

Is there any way to see who is on my dedicated server without logging in myself?

[celest halo]

have not tested it but ListPlayers through rcon should work

[scarlet lichen]

has anybody got RCON port working? i've opened 27020 but only 8888 is being opened on 127.0.0.1 and its some epic games error code that I get

[rigid helm]

We actually didnt had issues til yesterday, we tweaked some rates.. to decrease total dino count while trying to maitain ammout of "normal" dinos by lowering spawn percentages for dinos that do not hae much use. This whole operation, just to decrease server ping, that one could go up to 100 once map gets fully spawned with 30+ people on.

Well, now its max 60ping but no dinos on half of a map

[junior vector]

RCon? Is that just the server console? it didn't seem to work there

[floral flower]

I have my server running and showing up for everyone, but I can't switch from pvp to pve, what field in game.ini do I need to change to switch to pve? and another thing, I can't put the server name with spaces, just everything together, is there a symbol I can use in the initialization .bat file so I can use a space between the words?

[junior vector]

It should work with spaces, mine does. start ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=Kataris's Server?AltSaveDirectoryName...

[celest halo]

rcon is a remote admin protocol

[junior vector]

I've just been running commands in Server Console; how do I use rcon?

[rigid helm]

Rcon works just for player list, chat and simple commands such as kick or dinowipe... no broadcast and several other commands doesnt seem to work

[scenic orchid]

Yeah but for what? I can't find that port documented, that is my question. What service is this?

[hard flare]

my server showed up after i did a steam update to the latest verison and added the epic certs from here https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Windows_Server_editions_and_crossplay_with_Epic_players like Stolenvw suggested.
i only did Trusted Root Certification Authorities with local machine, didn't even bother with the server restart, but i also use tcadmin to host my game servers so who knows.

[celest halo]

just shows an error message when you go to locahost:8888 in a browser on the comp server is running on

what its for who know but only thing that can connect to it is the comp thats running it

[junior vector]

Oh, has anyone found a fix for all the spawner failures?

[scarlet lichen]

epic certs shouldn't be needed if you if you're running a windows 10 vm right? only for windows 2012/2016/etc servers?

[hard flare]

im on server 2019

[celest halo]

for some reason some win 10 installs dont have them, a few people on win10 installed and it fixed it for them

[ebon zenith]

How do i remove host barrier/tether distance?

[wheat lotus]

any fixes to the failed spawner issues yet?

[celest halo]

no

[celest halo]

dont think you can yet

[vagrant ledge]

Im trying to move over to host my server with a bat file.
But the bat file think this whole line is the admin pass for some reason ServerAdminPassword=<ADMIN_PASS>?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=50
I do change the admin pass to ours but why would it do that?

[celest halo]

put ServerAdminPassword as last thing in the ? line

[vagrant ledge]

so after maxplayers?

[celest halo]

yeah

Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=50?ServerAdminPassword=<ADMIN_PASS>

[vagrant ledge]

ohh it was that easy haha well ty!

[celest halo]

you're welcome, and if MaxPlayers=50 is not working and server is showing 70 still add -WinLiveMaxPlayers=50 to the bat

[vagrant ledge]

right before the admin pass I guess?

[celest halo]

after

[vagrant ledge]

aight okey

[celest halo]

with a space before the -

[hybrid lark]

Stolen do you have a by any chance a tutorial on how to make the server manually? The PowershellGSM works really well but it doesn't support mods (so no auto update for mods possible) was wondering what is my alternative if i wanted a server with a mod without going through Nitrado, since I can host on my second machine at home

[celest halo]

dont know if there is one BeeWitched pinned a youtube video, i have not watched it (at work) so not sure how it says to set one up

[plain urchin]

Spawners are fixed in the next patch and dammit I cannot wait!

[celest halo]

hopefully they dont wait 11 hours again to update public branch

[scarlet lichen]

what does the PC-only online mulitplayer flag do in the server list? aren't all the servers pc only?

[green cipher]

unofficial steam servers are only pc. nitrado server will be cross platform when consoles gets to play

[celest halo]

could just be a setting so its there when crossplay comes out

[vagrant ledge]

Okey quick question how come any storage or station is open for anyone even if we are playing pve?

[hasty perch]

lets go dino spawners are fixed

[torpid forge]

Well, the patchnotes claim.

We wont know for awhile until deployment.

[celest halo]

lmao i believe it when i see it, wont be first time a patch note said something was fixed when it wasnt fully fixed

[torpid forge]

Omg like their patch that claimed significant performance improvements.... I think i got like 2fps extra.

[hasty perch]

I mean even a slight fix is better. Our server will not spawn gigas or char

[scarlet lichen]

holy shit balls folks. installing the epic game certs fixed my connectivity issues on windows 10 vm running in vmware esxi 6.5 hypervisor

[torpid forge]

Yea mine neither. It seems like the only things that really spawn regularly are a handful of the least wanted dinos

[fiery comet]

I wish nitrado would fix their crap

[celest halo]

nice

[torpid forge]

What crap? I haven't seen a single issue so far that is Nitrado's fault, except pricing. Absurdly expensive.

[hasty perch]

we have up our dino spawn to 1.75 and that helps. Also notice if you leave the server run and not dino wipe for some reason fixes it. But on our server the rhynothigia instant spawns

[torpid forge]

For me, increasing the spawn rate just made it so there was an even more insane number of enemies lol.

My server had more megalodons than water. (Sarcasm, but it was a lot)

[fiery comet]

Their servers keep looping restart and stop. Unplayable

[hasty perch]

huh weird for us we never really had a over spawn issue. It is so weird who different servers have different things

[hybrid lark]

still no news on someone that is working on a new ASM? cause this whole running a server manually is a huge headache if you want a modded server without proper mod support

[celest halo]

i have not see any, but i also ran my ASE servers on linux so there was no ASM for me lol

[hybrid lark]

Actually there's one being developed just saw it on the server managers discord so there's hope!!

[vagrant ledge]

Okey quick question how come any storage or station is open for anyone even if we are playing pve?

[indigo basin]

I've disabled supply drops and yet It still says "can't place "Blank": Too Close to supply crate drop location."
I've also added "AllowPVEStructuresNearSupplyDrops=True" to game.ini and gameusersettings.ini
My whole base is kaputz due a drop landing in the middle of it

[rich magnet]

I had a lot of crashes and made these changes (worked for me, was probably the menu transitions but I'll keep everything like this for now):

• Turned full screen to windowed full screen
• Disable Menu transitions in UI menu to 'ON'
• Turned off all RTX DLSS settings

Lower fps but no crashes since

[quartz cairn]

Anyone else's direwolf look like, Ted where his stuffing in the wrong place? I'm going to get a screen shot lol

[pallid kestrel]

Okay multiple tribes on my pve server have lost all their Dino's and structures to what looks like a red gun. Checked logs, no admin commands used by anyone other than myself. Happened a couple days in a row now. Anyone else having this issue?

[violet tide]

creative mode gun, sounds like

[fallen scaffold]

is there a way to enter console commands on my dedicated server without joining the game and being an admin?

[celest halo]

rcon

[cinder hare]

Ive been able to do it from the .bat file console that pulls up if you have @ echo written in the command that pulls up the log for it. I tested it and was able to change time of day without being in game.

[fallen scaffold]

I don't have a .bat file. I am only running it through steam

[silent crest]

Any PlayStation players wanna play on my server ?

[cinder hare]

ah have it through steam but not steamcmd. Just through the .bat file

[celest halo]

rusty.sadface.co.uk/download/ARKon/ARKon.zip need rcon setup in the ini files to use it

[scenic orchid]

Do we have any influence over how the server logs? And by default does it rotate the log file?

[pallid kestrel]

But how could it be a creative gun if nobody has logged into admin mode or used any commands

[cinder hare]

Did they push that update for the spawner issues yet? I havent received the download.

[spiral sapphire]

i just got a server download when i did steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[fallen scaffold]

I don't think so. Haven't seen the download either

[celest halo]

-servergamelogincludetribelogs    Include tribe logs in the normal game logs. Note that this is required to get the logs from RCON (using -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs). Additionally, it will display them in the application's console.


-ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs    Allows tribe chat to be displayed in the RCON, in addition to global chat. Requires -servergamelogincludetribelogs``` bat file options

[pallid kestrel]

So nobody knows of any exploits to red gun peoples stuff without admin commands?

[spiral sapphire]

havent checked version yet, but it did update (and hadnt earlier)

[cinder hare]

I havent heard anything yet.

[pallid kestrel]

Cause none of the Dino's death are in the server logs, just appear as killed in tribe logs, server logs show my admin commands and everything but no foul play at all, and this is like the 10th tribe affected

[fallen scaffold]

@cinder hare I just changed my steam setting to allow updates while playing games and a download showed up

[cinder hare]

Have you checked IPs logging into your server? Might be a hacker/exploit. I would check to see who logs into your server then.

[scenic orchid]

Hmmm.. Not quite what I am looking for. I don't want the server to log to a file at all. If the option to modify where it logs to specifically is not configurable I am going to hijack the file with a symlink to stdout. That is why I am also curious if it rotates the log file, because it won't be able to rotate a symlink lol

[pallid kestrel]

I can see who logs in but how do I identify the exploit?

[cinder hare]

Ok cool, thanks! I'll try that

[fallen scaffold]

yw!

[quasi chasm]

Do mods work in unofficial?

[cinder hare]

I mean, just being aware of whose playing and whose new. Down to deductions, there isn't a sure fire way but if you didnt do it and there is no other people that have admin commands and its showing in the tribe logs they died and the structures disappeared. I mean it could be a bug/glitch.. (cause it had happened on the old ark awhile back) Idk what to tell you :/

[pallid kestrel]

Yeah idk either its just so frustrating and these players are absolutely hating me right now lmao

[cinder hare]

It definitely sucks, I 10000% understand. It is a new game, there are bound to be issues and problems... Just make sure you change your admin password. Do you have a password on your server? I mean other than being aware of who everyone is and what group they are playing with, it'll be hard to track down someone being bad especially if it doesn't show in the logs.

[pallid kestrel]

That is the line I have been repeating daily 😭 I appreciate the support

[scarlet lichen]

enablecheats command isn't working for me. i've got server password and serveradminpassword set, any ideas?

[fallen scaffold]

I'm still having issues with spawn failure but I'm sure they'll get it fixed eventually

[cinder hare]

I still didn't get the patch lmfao

[hasty perch]

they rolled out a fix, it may just take sometime before nitrado gets it out to the public

[fallen scaffold]

I'm talking about my private dedicated not nitrado

[hasty perch]

ah

[cinder hare]

Did you do a dino wipe just incase?

[fallen scaffold]

not yet, trying to figure out how to set up a server console lol

[cinder hare]

Gotcha

[celest halo]

i have -servergamelog set and it makes dated logs, so dont know if it does by default or not

[humble thicket]

How do I destroy wild dinos with in on unofficial

[coarse tulip]

Anyone know how to increase generators in range limit?

[fallen scaffold]

I tried DestroyWildDinos in my console but nothing showed up after

[cinder hare]

cheat destroywilddinos

[humble thicket]

Didn’t work done multiple times

[cinder hare]

Mine doesn't show anything when I do it but then again, its on a .bat file console.

[fallen scaffold]

ok so I'll have to be in game and see if it works or find a log file

[cinder hare]

And your in admin mode?

[celest halo]

public branch has not been updated with it yet

[humble thicket]

How do I

[fallen scaffold]

ok thank you

[cinder hare]

[cinder hare]

[humble thicket]

Ok thanks

[wheat lotus]

where do you see this at

[cinder hare]

prob steam database

[celest halo]

steamdb.info/app/2430930/depots/

[gusty rivet]

So according to support, the game/ini configuration does not support custom levels yet? I've done the custom setup in game.ini however my max level is only going up to 135?? Any assistance would be great.

[cinder hare]

I have to do a command in game after every restart to keep the levels. But you are right, they do not stay unfortunately.

[glossy kraken]

anyone else having issues with the server not launching on 25.49? the console opens but it closes after ~10 seconds before fully initializing

[gusty rivet]

So in other words, we can't have custom levels as of yet?

[silver obsidian]

Hi question!
Do you know how to configure the game.ini for multipliers?

No way to succeed I tried everything, even get the .ini of a game solo and modify the rates for my server but apparently it does not take them into account ... a solution?

[humble thicket]

It worked thanks

[celest halo]

if you have mods it can happen if it cant find/download ones you have listed in the bat

[cinder hare]

You can just its not automated, you'll have to do this command cheat setdifficultyvalue then the value you want afterwards. I set mine to 12 to get 350+ then I do cheat destroywilddinos Then everything after that spawns at the 'custom' levels. But you have to do this everytime the server goes down and comes back up.

[rigid helm]

did you used just the vanilla cryopods ? - as same thing happens to dinos who have been uploaded into obelisk

[cinder hare]

You're welcome! 🙂

[rigid helm]

so if you play without cryopods, dinos occasionally just fall under mesh, if you play with them they straight up disapear 😄

[gusty rivet]

That's not the way I did it. I actually did it this route via game.ini LevelExperienceRampOverrides= Insert xp & levels

[junior vector]

I can't connect to my server anymore after updating.. It says I need to update 2 mods, then asks for my password, then kicks me back to the server list. Anyone else having this trouble?

[cinder hare]

Yeah I tried to edit through the game files and it wouldn't stick for me. The only way i can do higher level dinos is by doing the command in game after every restart

Wait are you talking about player levels?

[gusty rivet]

Oh that's rather aggrovating. Doesn't that also change the quality of the drops? (Which I don't want it to do) the alternative is the mod

[coarse tulip]

Anyone know how to increase generators in range limit?

[cinder hare]

I thought you were talking about dino levels XD ..... derp its been a long night for me :p Sorry!! I haven't changed the player levels if that's what your talking about, only dino levels. But it didn't change the drops for me. There still just as good, and they still operate as normal 🙂

[gusty rivet]

Both player & tamed max level.

[glossy kraken]

do you know if theres a way to downgrade a server till the mod gets updated?

[cinder hare]

Ah ok, not sure about that - just whatever wild dinos spawn at 🙂

[celest halo]

i dont know of anyway to

[tranquil spade]

does does elite ark keep thier servers running?

[sharp moat]

Anyone still having problems using mods on local undedicated servers? Host can see mods, Anyone else joining cannot.

[scenic skiff]

How can I get the netid of a game? To give a dino imprint to another player, the command apparently requires it

[glossy kraken]

did you add mod id to ini and start file?

[junior vector]

why did my initial baby "Wants care in XX" timer go up to 1 day 16 hours??? They fully mature in 3 hours on my server, and the cuddle timer doesn't seem to affect the initial care timer.

[sharp moat]

It's a local server, so I'm not sure how that works.

Idk what the ini even is really

[glossy kraken]

oh non dedi, not sure

[fallen scaffold]

Can you do an in game claim transfer? That would be the easiest way to give a player a dino. Spawn it in claimed for you and then unclaim it

[scenic skiff]

That does not give the player the imprint raider bonus.

[obsidian sequoia]

Any one have an idea when Nitrado makes the latest version available, unofficial seem to be on 25.49 when official is on 25.54?

[junior vector]

wtf I changed BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier from 5 to 0.2 and the babies still have 1 day and 16 hours till first cuddle????

[olive pecan]

After several hours, I fixed my problem... How? 1st, starting the server without players and tribes (it worked). 2nd, starting the server with player, no tribes (it worked). 3rd, starting the server N times (N = tribe count) to find the corrupted tribe file.

At the end, one tribe was corrupted and I could delete them and start again the server, not a full wipe. Thanks god.

Does anyone know of any projects/docs/etc. that deal with or explore ASA's new save format yet? A bunch of tools used various libraries to read ASE's .ark files to extract GameObjects, Properties, and whatnot, but ASA now wraps things up in a SQLite database that appears to change (and improve) things considerably. I've gotten as far as reading the name table out of the SaveHeader database row in the custom table and figuring out that the "game" table has GameObject UUIDs as keys, but enough seems to have changed that reverse-engineering whatever primary/foreign key relationships are in play now with just a hex editor is a bit "challenging."

Official updates first, then unofficial. Usually within an hour of Official finishing, my maps are updating.

[celest halo]

WC released it nitradopc 12584724 2 minutes ago now its on nitrado to update it

[obsidian sequoia]

👌

[spiral sapphire]

Nice, just upgraded to 25.54 and had no SPAWNER FAILURE notices

[olive pecan]

[spiral sapphire]

Hehehe, possibly 🙂

[celest halo]

lmao

Heya guys! Ive got a couple questions regarding server settings if anyone would be so kind as to send me a DM!

[silver obsidian]

hi anyone have a working game.ini for dedicated server... no way to set my multiplier even after trying to get the solo game.ini...

[vagrant ledge]

Is there a way to increase min dino lvl? we have 150 max atm but its really rare to see anything over 100

[white ermine]

not that I know of, but you can always increase max level in general, which would give you what you're looking for
just with a side effect or two 🤣

[vagrant ledge]

guess thats true haha I know in evolved I had to use a mod to do it

[echo torrent]

Do you guys know if the override difficulty also increases quality from supply drops? We set the override diff to 5 and the first drop I looted has ascended saddle and hide armor. I would like the dino max level to be 150 but I dont want overpowered drops :p

[white ermine]

what you see is consistent with what I see
i'd wager it does, and i don't know a good workaround

[echo torrent]

So guessing there is no way to get 150 dinos without getting OP gear then

[white ermine]

not now, likely soon down the road if a mod comes out or they add INI parameters to adjust it
unless someone else can chime in with a way they fixed it

[vagrant ledge]

I just think the supplie drop are really op atm something is off with them

[echo torrent]

I see. Also, is there any way to increase the amount of engram points you get per level? Or have a way to have all engrams unlocked as you level up? There is a console command that unlocks EVERYTHING at any given level but we dont really want that

[vagrant ledge]

You do have this SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier= you can tinker around with and see

[hearty wedge]

I believe dollie did mention in a reply that there's a known issue with supply drop loot quality being too high and that it's on the list of things to address once the other fires are slightly less warm. Just too good across the board right now

[echo torrent]

Has anyone here tested base difficulty loot drops and the override diff=5, to see if there was any difference? Might be that the drops are "OP" no matter what difficulty you set

[hollow harness]

Can custom maps e.g Svartalfheim be run on a dedicated server yet?

[mighty yacht]

everytime i load into the game my game freezes on the spawn screen and i cant close the game with alt f4 or task manager.. anyone know the solution

[junior vector]

Has flyer speed leveling been fixed? Or is it still broken?

[scarlet lichen]

maybe in console if that works type open MainMenu to get back to menu

[mighty yacht]

i’ll give that a try but i’m mainly trying to find a fix to why my game is doing this.. never did it before the patch last night

[sage swan]

I've seen someone hosting one with it, whether it worked or not idk

[brazen goblet]

Anyone have the problem where the dedicated server is crashing when loading?

[vagrant ledge]

check for corrupted save files

[brazen goblet]

is save corruption likely atm?

[vagrant ledge]

yeah think everyone has encountered it at this point

[celest halo]

Mods or corrupt save/tribe file are 2 main reasons

[vagrant ledge]

^

[brazen goblet]

whats the fix for the corrupt mods?

[celest halo]

Mods delete mod folder and let it reinstall them

If it crashes again see what ones it didn't download and remove the id for them

[brazen goblet]

Also from what I see it isn't forcing clients to disconnect for updates anymore. Is that right?

[sharp moat]

Fix for Non-Dedicated Servers not working with mods, step by step Guide:
First off, go into your local Files for Ark, for that right click on it in your Steam Library and select Manage>Browse Local Files
Then go through ShooterGame> Saved> Config> Windows
There open "GameUserSettings"
Press CTRL+F to open a search Tab
Search for "mods" and look for "ActiveMods=

There you will find all the ID's for the mods you have installed. You might find that the mod number list is unusually long, as it was the case with me.

Fix:

Use the Search Tab we just opened and Copy into it the first ModID you see in that list. ModIDs are seperated by commas btw.
Search for it. If it shows up multiple times, Delete any number after the Second entry, Example:

2390,85044,9604,8734,9047,2390,85044,9604,8734,9047,2390,85044,9604,8734,9047,2390,85044,9604,8734,9047
from this to
2390,85044,9604,8734,9047
This.
You can see the numbers repeating, we will have to delete them to fix that.

Also i Disabled "Use Singleplayer Settings" in "game Rules> Rules.. Dont know if that is relevant but i did that in tandem to my previous work.

Guess on what goes wrong:

I take it that the game installs the mods multiple times over itself which isnt an issue for single player but is one in multiplayer, as the non dedicated server cancels out double digits as it may produce an error code, thus ignoring any mods that are double in number.

Would love feedback from other people if it helped them,. might be able to carry it to the Devs.

[brazen goblet]

if the server has a save file corrupt, will all the saves it makes later be corrupt?

[raven hull]

the patch was only for nitrado servers?

[late carbon]

Are there any mods for new player protection yet?

[wild plume]

Does anyone know how to add admins to a file on a dedi server of ASA? It used to be in AllowedCheaterSteamIDs

[echo torrent]

Is there any way to unlock all engrams as you level up?

[blazing stump]

anyone using proton to run their server?

[scarlet lichen]

finally have a dedicated server running, now to add mods. where is the mod folder on the server? and do I just add the mod ID to my .bat script and the mod folder and thats it? or does the mod ID need to be in gus.ini or gami.ini as well?

[spiral sapphire]

No whitelisting we can find, just sharing adminpassword

[merry root]

just use -mods=xxxxx

[brazen goblet]

It looks like this likely will still work

[wild plume]

Cool, that's what I thought, thank you

[merry root]

Wrong place to post about your HotDogWater server.

[tribal depot]

Rude.

[echo torrent]

What's the default max level for dinos?

[still jay]

does anyone know why I can't drag fish that I kill anymore?

[scenic skiff]

Does anyone know how to deactivate the autocrafting of dyes in an industrial pot? is very annoying

[silver obsidian]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10```

doesn't work in gameusersetting? no dino above level 150, and lots of level 5/10...

[brazen goblet]

did you wipe dinos?

[silver obsidian]

Yes

[brazen goblet]

Did you edit the config while the server was running?

[silver obsidian]

no I exit my console each time I make a change

[restive smelt]

Can't either, very annoying when trying to tame an otter. Other people have also noted this bug, so I'm guessing they have to fix the bug before we can tame otters again.

[still jay]

dang, ok. Was trying to tame an otter for my friend

[celest halo]

not sure, hopfully it wont

[bitter sable]

Still no word on native Linux servers! However if you search this chat for "linux" you'll find last night a few people posted about how they got it running with a custom version of proton. I was able to get this working in a docker container.

[rain radish]

Docker sounds pretty nice! 🙂

[bold scarab]

Not sure if this is the correct channel but does anyone know of any good pve unofficial servers that are accepting players?

[marble crypt]

@bitter sable did you by chance use the old ase docker and manipulate it?

[sly storm]

Not sure if everyone is aware(just found it myself) but you can now lower your slot count from 26 to 20 on Nitrado. Saves ya 8 bux a month for those that don't have larger playercounts.

[hasty perch]

did they actually fix the spawners or just delete the log?

[sly storm]

Completely remove the difficultyoffset=1

Fixed my server

[mild arrow]

Hello Guys, got Problems with Breeding on my Private Nitrado Server. I got boosted my Taming, Harvesting etc.. But Breeding didnt work.. anyone can help me? pm

[still jay]

looks like the patch broke refining furnaces. When I open the inventory of mine it detaches the mouse from the game lol. Was able to fix it by rebuilding it.

[silver obsidian]

I only put this line in the ini? OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10

[merry root]

Have you cleared the dinos with "cheat DestroyWildDinos" and let them repopulate?

[silver obsidian]

Yes

[merry root]

Very weird.

[sly storm]

You can have other settings in gameusersettings.ini but the two you listed seem to cancel each other out somehow. Just remove the line that has : DifficultyOffset =1
Save, reboot server, and do a Dino wipe
