[dull brook]

is there a chance I get corrupt data?

[visual skiff]

I don't even have it in my Game.ini

[lean anvil]

then add it and set it to false (Just incase it defaults to true even when it isnt there) never know might fix it :p

[dusky vapor]

Is there anyway to broadcast a message directly from the server console of my server? I have tried broadcast directly in the console but nothing appears to work.

[visual skiff]

I'll try

[snow thunder]

Been having a hard time researching this issue as haven’t found a solid answer, so wanted to ask here:

Raptors and Aggro in ASA:
I jumped on official servers and generally raptors will lose interest after a bit and if you have the stam.

But on my friends dedicated with nitrado , I help configure, raptors just don’t lose aggro and keep chasing if you’re not fast enough to get out of render range.

Is there setting in game.ini or gameusersettings.ini that affects this that we have have accidentally changed?

[visual skiff]

Didn't work

[nimble talon]

ONly thing I've used that visibly works in that console is Quit

[small spindle]

can someone please please help me and my friends figure out why our server isnt showing up after update?

[main violet]

this is for ASE can you assend in a cluster being if i am in a cluster that contains both the island and scorthed earth if i defeat the oversear would i assend to the clusters scorched earth?

[white cairn]

Is there any way to force enable alliances in ORP servers?

[nimble talon]

What do you mean? You just "ascend" by beating the boss and get more levels. At least that's how it normally works online, clustered or not

[wise kindle]

On completion it spawns you back on the island map if thats what you mean.

[nimble talon]

Does anyone else notice "DoTame" dinos deleting on restarts?

[wintry gale]

havent been able to play my own sever all day

this is bs

[frigid creek]

This happened to me when my game updated but my server wasn't up to date. Maybe the same for you?

[small spindle]

ill try

[wintry gale]

nah been like this all day have restarted server and updated game nothing

[dusty wagon]

i'm having that same issue.. whats up with it

[merry root]

You can also join your server ingame by opening the console (~ key on the keyboard) and type "Open ip:port"

[regal halo]

Hey quick question for people running dedis out there. To install mods to your dedicated server is it the same process as ASE? (Copy the mod files to /shootergame/binaries/win64/ShooterGame/mods/modsgohere) then add the ActiveMods=modid1, modid2 etc to the GUS ini?

[wintry gale]

timed out

[frigid creek]

I cannot get this to work for some reason, I can open the console when I am in a server, but can't open it from the main menu 🤔

[main violet]

ah so it woundlent send you to the clusterd scorthed earth

[wintry gale]

i opened it in server list

[merry root]

No you just type -mods=id1,id2 etc in the .bat file.

[wise kindle]

Nah same map.

[main violet]

ok thanks ile have to work somthing out

[wintry gale]

maybe they got a bunch of machines down idk

but it timed out

[regal halo]

That's admittedly much nice. Testing it out now to see if it works. Thank you 🙂

[digital berry]

any deathmatch servers?

[regal halo]

Well... it crashes my server on launch now xD Is the directory I posted correct?

[long lagoon]

No matter what I do for PVE you can still damage your clan mates

[proud perch]

so do you think custom levels are broke atm?

[wintry gale]

I think everything is broke

[dusty wagon]

anyone know why i cant find my server after the update?

[solemn zephyr]

Indeed

[regal karma]

is anyone unofficial experiencing extreme rubberbanding? Im trying to determine if its a player causing it to happen on my server or not

[woven linden]

Punt them to see if it fixes it? 🙂

[regal karma]

theres over 50 people logged in i cant kick them all

[woven linden]

Was just teasing, but yeah, that'd be a pain. LOL

But I remember ASE having something like that, where one player would cause others to rubber band depending on how out of sync timing wise they were with the server, so perhaps might exist here as well.

Could also just be the 50 people together or something to do with all the areas they have loaded at the same time.

[long lagoon]

no rubberbanding so far on ours

[regal karma]

yeah i remember on ASE having like 500 lamp posts and turning them off and on over and over would make the whole server lag/crash

[woven linden]

Or having a bronto swipe it's tail in the old days that had a huge melee and we had rates high. LOL

[hidden notch]

for anyone running a nitrado server or non dedi server and still getting crashes i found a solution to fix it remove ascended additions dinotherium mod did testing last night as soon as i added that it crashes server once removed stops crashing

[nimble talon]

Anyone have an issue with dinos disappearing on server restarts?

[dusky vapor]

Are you using a Cryopod mod?

[nimble talon]

I just installed it but it was happening before that

[dusky vapor]

Has anyone managed to find a working RCON tool or something that works to manage your servers ? I'm doing mine on my local machine but having no access to player list, or chat etc is lame.

Odd, I don't think I've seen that issue without a cryopod mod installed.

[nimble talon]

My taming rates don't seem to work either.

It says "Taming Speed Multiplier 6 " in the showmyadmin manager, but no matter what I set it too, it seems to stay the same

[final eagle]

Did that latest patch hit unofficial yet?

[celest halo]

yeah

[dire bane]

Alright it took me a while to figure this one out but when a mod you are currently using on your dedicated server is pulled it will cause your server console to crash. Open the game and check your installed mods to see if there are any that are unavailable. Remove it from your .bat file and try again.

specifically mod 928833 i believe it was auto engrams was pulled for violating content moderation rules.

[vague grove]

Babies are still falling through the mesh after the last update. I know have over 30 dinos in the mesh

[austere panther]

Modded?

[vague grove]

non modded

all are boss dinos Rex Theri and Megatherium all falling through the mesh

[summer venture]

make sure to report officially.

[vague grove]

I have just getting really annoying cause the next step for progression for me is running bosses

[nimble talon]

Is there a way to make wild dinos eat faster for taming?

[summer venture]

increase how fast dinos go through their food.

[nimble talon]

Haha, I figured, but what setting is that 😄

[vast garden]

Want a rock stable, well-balanced, medium boosted PVP server with active non player admins and weekly events? Join Alpha Ark 3x Harvest 5x XP/T/B, Weekly Events, Mods PVP PVE ORP, and feel free to dm me for more info.

[summer venture]

DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.5 under [Server Settings] in the GUS

[outer mantle]

anyone know how to modify the amount gained per imprint? i'm just in singleplayer

settings
mature speed 6
cuddle interval .01
grace period 6
lose imprint speed 1
stat scale 6

[long lagoon]

saveworld does not work on server console but does in game

[wintry gale]

so they just not gonna update us on our private servers huh'

[worldly nebula]

should be BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=

[outer mantle]

yeah but the setting isn't visible in the client.

i'll see if I can tweak the save if I can find it

[worldly nebula]

yah try set manually in [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] section of Game.ini (..\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows)

[outer mantle]

I'll let you know if that worked!

didn't work

[coarse tulip]

Nitrado isnt updating mods on restart. how do i force them to update

[wintry gale]

nitrado isnt doing alot of things ive tried completely removing the game from my pc removing mods everything and no one can see our server it was working fine last night

[bitter acorn]

when will we be seeing linux server files?

[torpid spear]

I know this has been asked a lot, but is the flyer speed leveling working yet, or does anyone have a work around?

[fallow pine]

Only one I can see is download a mod

[violet tide]

Is there a server setting to shrink the size of the grinder, furnace, etc...? or did that not make it over from S+?

[modern bramble]

I'm trying to override stacksize for the new berries, and having trouble with finding the right path.
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Berry_Verdberry",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000, bIgnoreMultiplier=true)) does not seem to be doing the trick

[agile gorge]

I have been running the flying speed costume mod since yesterday and its a nice work around for now and ive not had any stability issues. Only running the lowest speed increase costume via disabling the higher speed engrams as 500% speed is beyond overkill.

[opal needle]

You need an _C on the end of the item string

Probably no Berry_ either

[modern bramble]

I thought I tried that, i will try it again, thanks for the answer

cheat gfi PrimalItemConsumable_Berry_Verdberry 1 0 0 is the spawncode, so i thought it was berry_

[opal needle]

That item with _C on the end should be it

[violet tide]

is there a way to disable engrams?

[granite bluff]

anyone elss server not showing up but saying its online

[agile gorge]

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="NAMEHERE",EngramHidden=True)

replace the namehere with the engram name followed by _C

[violet tide]

tyvm, you're amazing

[quaint ether]

did you find a fix for this, im having the same issue

[queen marten]

Anyone else experiencing issues with joining your modded servers? Just constant "Missing Content" messages, getting booted to main screen and nothing happens, crashing, invalid mods etc etc. Everythings updated and has been uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times, and sometimes this doesn't happen at all. Just incredibly janky all around

[oak patio]

so on nitrido you can change the sever slots down to 4 but after i bought it it said it needs atleast 20 slots to start. is that true or what

[agile gorge]

the slots represent a preset amount of ram "per slot" and the lowest ram option that they can get the server to run on is the 20 slot amount according to nitrado.

TLDR: yeah 20 is the lowest for now on nitrado.

[oak patio]

I wish wild card was able to do something like Minecraft realms, like in game and cheap

[agile gorge]

or just not signing a deal with a predatory scum sucking blackhole of a company. the situation we had pre ASA was perfectly fine.

[oak patio]

like whats even worse is there still is a few SP issues and you cant max out teather distance any more

[agile gorge]

the expectations for ASA should have been set at the same as ASE in its launch era. realistic gameplay footage or god forbid a few live streams from the devs before launch day would have solved alot of issues. hopefully we will start to see better rates for bare metal style server rentals so the small amount of nitrado rentals can move onto a better service. the rest will get patched with time for the most part just like ase did.

[oak patio]

hopefully rn im praying ill have my fun for 30days and not pay another 25$ until the old maps come back

[visual skiff]

nop

[bright girder]

I have a player atm with a bug where they cannot place any building pieces or equip any handheld tool/weapon has anyone else seen this/ found a temp fix?

[visual skiff]

New day, New chance.

Anyone having a Windows Server Dedicated for ASA knows why my settings on Harvest, Xp & Taming arent working ?
(Boosted in the config, still at in in game admin menu)

[bright girder]

is it set to singleplayer by chance in the ini setting?

[visual skiff]

It is not

[visual skiff]

I had to manually creat Game.ini for it did not created itself
I also tried to use Beacon to manage config

[arctic sierra]

how i open admin menu on my server?

[brave lynx]

dose anyone know the ne wbroadcast command for rcon / server console window?

[visual skiff]

showmyadminmanager in the console

[sweet delta]

Any way to make Auto Backups sooner? On my Dedi Server, it's currently only doing every 3 hrs by default it seems, and currently, I need them done sooner as ASA is unstable asf at times

[bronze bronze]

this is a fun one... player crashed, logged in out of tribe.. forced them back into tribe but now one dino that was with them is just missing and aint showing in the tribe dino list lol

[agile gorge]

wife took the cat in the divorce.

on a real note, asa seems to struggle with reporting things in logs when you are offline or dead. if you crash while mid air and log back in dead alot of the time you wont get a death beacon. im gonna guess their tame stayed as theirs when they logged back in but was not remerged with the tribe when you forced them back in. no clue where it went however. try looking at cords 50,50 thats where all good glitched items and dinos go to die.

[vestal ingot]

use setcheatplayer 1 and check the server report rate (fps) if it dips to 2-3 your probably having issues.

[fallow pine]

Anyone having the issues of Loot Drops near the volcano disappearing when you get close, and re-appearing when you move away from it?

[agile gorge]

glitch related to elevation I think ,or might have to do with the cave inside volcano trying to load a bit further out than it should, if you sit at the door to it things start to load in and out and the audio changes a good bit.

[fallow pine]

I suspect you are correct, as the audio changes on the slopes as well, which then indicate it is loading the cave interior, and deloading the outside areas

[native wave]

There's a lot of assets around the volcano that get loaded and unloaded while you move about...in addition to what acer said I've seen most of the map get stripped bare of everything...just from being on the volcano

[bronze bronze]

which may also be whats causing alot of the sea based crashes to

[worn knot]

How do you uninstall mods from a unoffical steamcmd server, every time I remove the mod from the ActiveMods list and delete the files it keeps re-appearing when trying to join the server

[fathom bobcat]

The server setup mod but the server did not start successfully, but crashed, why?

[worn knot]

Nevermind I figured it out, I had the mod listed in GUS.ini as well as the batch file start command also

[quaint ether]

do you have any mods enabled?

[patent drum]

Did anyone else have issues with Nitrado yesterday? Basically we can access our server now but it's completely reseted and there are no back-ups available. I'm still waiting for Nitrado to get back to me.

[visual skiff]

I tried with & without, same problem

[quaint ether]

i just tried mine with no mods and yea same issue

ive tried putting the command line in game.ini gameusersettings.ini and in the start bat, have had no luck

[visual skiff]

yep same..

[white lintel]

For the cost of server you'd expect a timely responsd

[patent drum]

They have told us they are looking into it but will reach out to us when they have more information. It's infuriating since we are almost one day offline, we can enter the server but we're not going to start all over from scratch.

[white lintel]

Pretty poor show, shame you can't offer to take your custom elsewhere to make them work faster

[final eagle]

Is anyone elses privage hosted server not updating past 26.2?

[white lintel]

Two mins and I'll check

[white lintel]

Mine isn't updating past 26.11

Though I normally have mine update once per day at 4am, did try and force this though

[final eagle]

I see so they probably did not update unofficial to 26.11 and it's only official so far, they really should separate patch notes and state official / unofficial servers.

[white lintel]

I can only see 26.11 in patch notes for discord

[final eagle]

Yeah official has been updated but I don't think they pushed it to unofficial as yet. I've noticed that unofficial gets it later but we haven't gotten any of the patches past 26.2

[visual skiff]

Alright i found it, I had DynamicConfig enabled, I removed it fromcommand line and it works like a charm

[modest garnet]

Hey Guys, are your loot crates in Caves are broken too? On my unoffical server i found 500+% shotguns and 250+ saddles?! Max Dino lvl 150 loot quality 1

[vale rover]

PLS HELP!! ORP does not work on my server. When enabled, no one can access inventory of owned structures.

[final eagle]

Just did it again manual update and it worked.

[vale rover]

yea they are OP

[jade folio]

I know it’s an unknown at this time, but I hope Xbox/Wins can host their own private ded server on ASA like ASE. I noticed there still isn’t a ded server button option on the ASA steam version.

[mental jewel]

Steam version is under tools for ASA

[quaint ether]

i dont seem to have that, and still no luckl, glad you got yours workingthough

[arctic sierra]

not working.. how do i make myself admin?😭 its a self hosted server so fm

[visual skiff]

non-dedicatedd ?

[arctic sierra]

yea

[visual skiff]

So you are admin mode by default
If you are the host

Otherwise you gotta ask the host password (he define it when starting the session)

[green dirge]

What's the line of code that lets you pick how much engrams people can get

[arctic sierra]

my fault, its dedicated.. im fairly new to this & the admin pw i have set will not work when i try joining with it

[visual skiff]

Then, in some GameUserSettings there is a AdminServerPassword field, you gotta write enablecheats <password that is in the .ini> in the in game console

[arctic sierra]

gotchuu, appreciate you❗️

[wintry gale]

Still haven't fixed unofficials huh

[marble kernel]

Hi anybody managed to run an unofficial moded server with a community (4ppls or more) to run without random crash's ? im on a dedicated server no nitrado sh..

[rapid sundial]

IS anyones egg laying rates in kibble farms basically non existant? Mate boosted and ovi boosted I have seen ZERO eggs yesterday and today while being around my dinos a ton.

[rapid sundial]

Nevermind I am a dip...Forgot about the OVIRAPTOR changes and instead of going to my egg collector mod my ovis kept snatch them up...Yep

[nocturne mirage]

has unofficial had server issues?

[marble kernel]

for me and some admins running modded server yes

[native wave]

Self hosting has been mostly trouble free. Nitrado has been a different story

[marble kernel]

i just wanna know if its mandatory crash if u mod the server

[native wave]

Added a mod last night to my server...no crashes yet

[marble kernel]

just 1 ?

[mighty topaz]

no I have several mods but a few are very unstable (not mine but a few i tried)

[native wave]

So far...going slow as mods are young for ASA

[marble kernel]

How many ppls in and how much time running without a reboot ?

[mighty topaz]

only 2 and my server auto reboots every 24hrs also, nitrado has been completely trouble free for me

[marble kernel]

so you already rebooted server ? and no problem after that ?

[mighty topaz]

literally 0 problems with any corruption or server crashes, just dont do stupid shit thatll crash it and ur good

[marble kernel]

except adding mods , i have done it in the state of the art no funky shi.

and what's the mods that u are using on your server ?

[mighty topaz]

ive had mods since day 2 of release i think, no issues like I said but I usually vet the mods and only mod in necessary stuff. I have:
-super spyglass
-AA
-tg stacking 10k
-meat spoiler
-better tranq
-griffin
-sqaws flyers
-titanosaurs ascended
-death inv keeper
-timeless liopluero
-super cryopod
-find my lost dino

[marble kernel]

damn.... do you mind sending me your game.ini and gus.ini so i can investigate ?

[marble kernel]

thx dude

[wintry gale]

i cant even see our server and it like 8 of us that cant

[marble kernel]

search the name

[wintry gale]

you think i havent done that?

[native wave]

Are you using non standard ports?

[wintry gale]

its nitrado

[mighty topaz]

stop the server completely, wait for 2 mins and then start it up

[dusky radish]

Overrideplayerlevelengrampoints = 10000 , is that a line that will give players on server more engrams than the stadard to be able to level everything?

[wintry gale]

whats that do give it a chance to reset?

[mighty topaz]

yes it gives you everything but you have to click them all as opposed to an auto unlocker - I do this to avoid corruptions

[dusky radish]

is this why my character has stopped leveling ? I got some engrams while messing with mods and now it says i have -47 points and I do not gain any xp what so ever.

[mighty topaz]

yes and also makes sure it fetches updates from the steam server, if that fails the server might no be starting due to a bad .ini argument or a bad mod or corruption

[mighty topaz]

i think so yes, though, i have never been in that situation myself but i think it does do that

[mighty topaz]

also i think that makes it so level 2 is the level that gives you the 10k points hence the line before it is level 1

[wintry gale]

it was showing it was running but couldnt find it at all even with direct connect

[dusky radish]

Curioius how your baby settings work in real time. How long does it take you to hatch an egg and how long does it take you to 100% imprint before its fully grown?

[sly spade]

Hey guys. I just want to double check something. If I run my single player save as non-dedicated. Does that mean it acts as a server and other people can join me?

Is there a tethor (distance that they can go between me and them?)

[mighty topaz]

yeah that happened to me when i first set it up but it was so early i just reset the whole server to factory settings

[dusky radish]

Yes and Yes. The tether is like 300 meters max Ive tried to cheese it but I think the setting is server not client side.

[mighty topaz]

I am not sure my gf does all the egg hatching and stuff I usually just tame stuff and build haha sorry ( its fast though i think like 20 mins)

[wintry gale]

its also two servers we have we cant find our pve and pvp

[alpine echo]

Anyone know why i cant see drop beams on my server?

[mighty topaz]

if its ASA then its a bit weird at the moment, I can see mine but sometimes they phase in and out its probably a bug

[alpine echo]

mine arent even phasing in and out theres just no beam. cant even find a drop unless i hear it lol

[dusky radish]

I think they phase out when you lower settings. I had a hard time seeing them on low on a laptop but on high on my main pc they never disapear hmm

who knows why

[mighty topaz]

Requested mods failed to load on server.

[native wave]

Unload mods until you find the culprit

Not all are stable

[fathom bobcat]

Only one other server can be used normally

[celest halo]

did you set r.VolumetricCloud 0

[humble thicket]

if you have credit money on your nitrado account how do you transfer that money back to you paypal

[clever trail]

Nope don't have it anywhere

[alpine echo]

@celest halo nope

[celest halo]

hmm that only setting i know that makes it so you cant see them, global illumination settings normally just makes them either glow or not

[barren swan]

it's global illumination on low iirc, try medium

[alpine echo]

alright we will try that

yep that was it thanks!

[hot sigil]

There is no EU unofficial servers with more than 4 ppl or it's me??

[stark idol]

Is there any option to decrease the ram usage? im on 16gb ram usage w 5 players online

[blazing shuttle]

change "global illumination" to medium or higher, the beams aren't visible on low

[queen zinc]

I'm currently using 1.5 gather rates, but I would like to increase the harvest health. Breaking a huge rock in 6 swings with a pickaxe doesn't feel good. If I was to increase the harvest health to 2x, what would I need to increase the multiplier by to equal it out? 2.5?

[stark idol]

you dont change the farming mulitiplier just the harvest health

[queen zinc]

I was lead to believe that the harvest health doesn't increase any resource yields. Just gives you the same resource yields with more work.

[stark idol]

thats exactly what it does

[atomic adder]

I enabled ORP and now nobody can access their inventories. Any way to fix that?

[queen zinc]

So 1.5 gather with 2x health is still 1.5 gather, just 6 picks per bush. Rather than 3.

[torpid spear]

Sounds about right

[stark idol]

its a normal bug since they "fixed orp" on my server it just fixes itself after a while but it will keep happening to random players @atomic adder
Yes @queen zinc

another way is to let any of their tribemates reinvite them

[molten fossil]

My whole Ark SE cluster has been crashing repeatedly since asa released, did anything change in the server software? mostly an error with FHangThreadWater

[stark idol]

dont do it yourself as the commands dont all work and the only way is to claim dinos and structures seperate and if they have turrets their dinos die xD

[queen zinc]

If you wanted to keep the same resource gain per swing, but increased the harvest health to 2x, how would you equal out 1.5 gather to 1x harvest health? 2.5 gather 2.0 harvest health? So it's the same resource gathered per swing? Just more swings.

[stark idol]

if you mean per stone, i guess you use 0.75 harvesting / 2x harvesting health

or 1,25 if your gathering is 2.5 now

that will get your the same amount of resources but more swings

[neat girder]

Come on WildCard, when will you fix high RAM usage on servers?

[blazing shuttle]

how much RAM your server is using?

[neat girder]

34GB RAM with 6 online players.
The server is only online at 12pm

[blazing shuttle]

that's a lot

[solemn zephyr]

Nope. There's a take tribe command

[quiet trellis]

Anyone found a fix for random structures, beaver dams, wild dinos being teleport to 50 - 50 coords on the map in the sky?

[solemn zephyr]

The red gun 😄

[quiet trellis]

Hm that would make sense I remove traps around the server but why would it tp wild animals and beaver dams?

[wise kindle]

Its a very old bug. Have to wait for a fix.

[quiet trellis]

Fair enough thank you guys, at least I know I am alone on this one lol

[wise kindle]

Yeah its pretty annoying.

[pallid kestrel]

Has anyone managed to get both ORP and tribe ally active on a PvE server?

[opal osprey]

those of you running your servers on a local VM, is your OS installed on an SSD or HDD on your server?

[thin anchor]

BattleMetrics RCON should work for you

Yes, BattleMetrics

[worn crown]

Hello everyone, let's see if you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it, since I don't know how to put this launch code, I run the server through a file called StartServer.bat, the code is as follows

echo off
echo
echo Starting server
echo
start H:\Yayo\ArkAsa\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=[POPEYE?Port=?QueryPort=?MaxPlayers=100?MaxNumberOfPlayersInTribe=10?ServerAdminPassword= –USEALLAVAILABLECORES -

NoBattlEye - my problem is that this code –USEALLAVAILABLECORES does not work for me since I have 2 processors with 32 cores and it only recognizes 16 where they should be? and the 100 players how do I get them to recognize it not just the 70. Thank you very much and great work

[dusky vapor]

$10 a month tho, it's not really worth it for my circumstance

[worn crown]

And one thing that I have realized is that if it is possible to help, I do it with all humility, the server crashes are due to some mods and I realized that I was removing them one by one until the server was up, as the mods were constantly updated. They don't give it time to update and when I looked at the logs I realized it. I hope it helps someone

[celest halo]

if things have not changed from ASE –USEALLAVAILABLECORES is not a start flag for servers

[merry root]

Im using ARK RCON "ARKON" you can find it by googling ark arkon and it should show a steam post

[deft wind]

how can i cap PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11] ?

[wooden haven]

does anyone know why my friend cant see or join my server but i can, (I have portforwarded correctly, and I can join via local, and my full ip address aswell as through the ingame server system any clue)?

[clever trail]

Hi Chaps

Why si my ini file's content removed everytime i start my server (ASA)

this is my startserver file content
[start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen? -NoBattlEye -mods=929110,929420,929902,928621,928677]

[merry root]

You can always see your local server even if its not port forwarded. So theres probably another issue here.

[clever trail]

Can you see the game under the Unofficial servers?

[wooden haven]

yes

[clever trail]

what ports did you forward?

[wooden haven]

7777,7778,27015 and obiosuly through my firewall aswell

[clever trail]

TCP and UDP?

[wooden haven]

yes

do you want to try and connect/just see if its in your server list

[clever trail]

Sure thing ASA or ASE?

[wooden haven]

asa

[clever trail]

Oky checking now

[dusky radish]

sometimes third party FWs and Anti malware or anti virus can affect the server connections. For some reason my malwarebytes was blocking external user traffic to the server. Assuming your hardware ports inbound rules have been created and you port forwarded your router. Also if you have multiple routers you will have to create multiple forward rules on each.

[obsidian sandal]

how well has the sqaws flyers been working for you? i am hesitant to add since he provides no way to view/give feedback either on the mod page or a discord link.

[mighty topaz]

it just replaces the base flyers with new identical flyers but that can speed level works fine

[turbid sage]

anyone had issues with low lvl alpha doing insane amount of damage

[obsidian sandal]

i know what the mod does, was just curious if it had any crashes/bugs/issues with the mod. I've been salivating for the ability to level speed on flyers.

[topaz fiber]

my game keeps crashing, not sure if its server or a mod I have installed. But I keep getting this message, any advice?

[lime matrix]

Not with the old version, are you running an asa on the same machine as ase? If so i'd be looking at your memory statistics to make sure. Look up a utility called Intelligent Standby List cleaner.....it's come to be quite necessary on my host machine to keep free ram clear.

[lime matrix]

I'd emphasise "mostly" trouble free with the corrupted tribe files and a few cases of world saves going kaput here and there. Though a well prepared backup archivist tends to get through those without tooo much headache.

[covert hound]

Hey, does someone know if i can play with my friends who have Ark on Steam, and I have the game on Epic games ?

[clever trail]

When i stop my ASA server the ini configs i added gets removed/reset to default

[woven linden]

Make sure you aren't editing while the server is running. If you are not doing it while running then which settings are not being saved?

[obsidian sandal]

Anyone have a download link for ARKON? the ones you find through google no longer work.

[clever trail]

Yes i know server is off

like the MaxPlyers=70 i want to set to 40 but everytime i start the server it still shows as 70 and when i stop seerver its 70 again

[obsidian sandal]

you need to use -WinLiveMaxPlayers to set max players with ASA

[wooden haven]

does anyone know if expressvpn blocks connections

[earnest musk]

Anybody know a good unofficial pve server? I tried drexonica but their rules were really restrictive and made it impossible to progress in certain areas of the game (couldn't have 2 bases and couldnt have irrigation because it "took up too much space" so no kibble or veggie cakes for my tribe). Looking for something chill with not too many people. I want freedom to build how I want, within reason. Any recommendations are welcome.

[obsidian sandal]

what rates are you looking for

[clever trail]

Ahhhh it works thank you

[obsidian sandal]

np

[clever trail]

Then another thing that is very controversial. can you enable speed leveling on character and dinos in asa yet and if you can what is the setting called?

[obsidian sandal]

you can for players. the code for flyers doesn't actually work for some reason

bAllowSpeedLeveling=True in game.ini

[mighty topaz]

There's a mod that makes the flyers speed levelable

[clever trail]

and is that under
[/Script/Engine.GameSession] or server settings?

[obsidian sandal]

under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]

[obsidian sandal]

familiar with it. would rather get it working without the mod though.

[mighty topaz]

Can't

[molten fossil]

no not currently running ASA on this server, it currently only has 91gb of ram, but it hasn't hit 100% use

[molten fossil]

you can always try my cluster, usualy it's very stable

[wise kindle]

The setting will likely be fixed later. I am waiting it out as well. It works on single player, so it will come to unofficial soon enough.

[obsidian sandal]

yep i'd rather wait and have it work through the command vs a whole mod. this mod is brand new, doesn't allow comments/feedback so i'm sketch of it atm

[vapid creek]

whenever i relog into a server my Map is reset are there any fixes for it? Couldnt find anything online

[molten fossil]

I'll give it a shot

[wise kindle]

Same. One line of ini verses a whole mod you cant control is kind of an easy decision for me.

[gleaming kite]

LowLevelFatalError [File:E:\ASAContinuous\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Util.cpp] [Line: 873 wtf ! after update its unplayable

[silent tiger]

Anyone having good server settings to share ?

[patent drum]

Are you using nitrado?

[tardy pine]

turn off "OfflinePVPProtection"

[tardy pine]

Define "good"

[vapid creek]

yes

[patent drum]

I'm also having issues, crashed yesterday evening and it reseted the whole server, I would have to start over from scratch unless they fix it..

[solemn zephyr]

Just load a different save point

[lime matrix]

The details are in the message, d3d.....nvidia control panel make sure your default open gl renderer is set to your gpu and not auto

[lime matrix]

have you checked to see if any one of your tribe files are inflated? if you find one that is abnormally large purge it.

[patent drum]

where would does files be? trying to look in the files but I can't locate them.

[lime matrix]

in the world save directory, .arktribe

[gleaming kite]

tnx man ! il try it out ! It was on auto selected gpu now

[high coyote]

Clusters disabled?

[solemn zephyr]

Correct. So make sure you disable transfers in your INI so people don't come with single player stuff

[wintry gale]

Have they fixed servers yet

[raw glade]

@inner thicket

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

[high coyote]

Ok thank you

[craggy hamlet]

Does anyone else randomly crash after opening your crafting inventory?

[olive talon]

Just crashed after closing a storage box inventory, just a bug that they're gonna have to fix.

[wise kindle]

Hmm 26.9 was supposed to address that crash.

[agile gorge]

everyone else's juvenile tames still flying off in to the sky?

[full prism]

Hi all, I am opening up a private server and I’m trying to make the initial weight unlimited and customize the supply drop loot. Does anyone know what server configs I would use for this?

[indigo turtle]

Is ase unofficial dead now asa has come out? Or are there still some popualar unofficial ase servers?

[craggy apex]

anyone know if you can save nitrado save games locally to your pc on ASA?

if so, can this be done with crossplay enabled? Can I connect on PS5 and then download the server save to my laptop?

[frigid vine]

Hrello! Is there any guide for the ?SessionName in a start.bat how-to correct escaping the string? #asa

[solemn zephyr]

First, you don't wanna adjust base stats unless you want lag. I suggest making 1 pt into weight = unlimited.

Second, all of that is VERY easy to do with beacon. Especially loot drops.

Look for beacon in the pinned comments (meaning WC themselves recommend beacon )

@indigo turtle some no wipe ASE servers are doing great right now.

@craggy apex you can download the backups using FTP. Yes.

[indigo turtle]

@solemn zephyr How do you find them? When I search on arks search list for unofficial severs by players, the highest players I can see is 6. but I think my search is bugged and not showing the actual highest players

[full prism]

Okay. That makes sense. I don’t see beacon in the pinned messages. Can you please share a link to the message you’re referring to?

[solemn zephyr]

No links are allowed here. Just Google beacon ark app or scroll down in the pinned messages

[craggy apex]

Previously before crossplay, FTP wasn't a feature for console servers. I am assuming it will be now? (for crossplay servers)

[solemn zephyr]

They say Xbox and PS will get everything Steam previously had.. ASA has it now, so I would assume so.

[indigo turtle]

Thanks @solemn zephyr I'll give that google a go

[solemn zephyr]

Its the 7th pinned message from the top... and NP

[pallid drift]

Is anyone else struggling with really bad server lag and missing walls and floors? Every time my community logs into ASA we have missing walls, floors, ceilings, etc.

[frail ferry]

anyone found a good mod for setting up in game shops?

[frail ferry]

you checked 50 50? might be floating there

[obsidian sandal]

Anyone figure out a way to stop baby dinos from floating off into the ceiling limit ?

[pallid drift]

I just checked. That was the first thing I did. There wasnt anything there sadly... 😫

[frail ferry]

😦

[pallid kestrel]

Anyone using the custom Dino levels mod without issue?

[arctic sierra]

allowflyer speed leveling dont work?

[wise kindle]

Default ini settings yes. Works well so far.

[wise kindle]

I believe this is still not fixed yet.

[fair matrix]

how does the teleportcreaturetome comand work ? i cant get it to do anything and my giga is stuck bugged

[wise kindle]

No idea. I just ghost in, ride the dino and cheat fly it out. Or pod it out if you have any pod mods.

[fair matrix]

i dont have and pods and i would ghost it out of the mesh but hes actually not in the mesh

[fair matrix]

hes in between 2 buildings and i cant access his inventory or ride his saddle anymore , if i put him on follow he walks in place. something is up with him idk what tho

[arctic sierra]

thank you for lmk

[wise kindle]

Pick up a couple pieces of the two buildings? Not sure without pods theres an easier way out.

[fair matrix]

if i could send you a screenshot youd be baffled lol

[wise kindle]

One trick that might still work; set it to follow another dino. Then leave the dino in a spot far enough away that the giga is running to try to get to it. Then go out of fully render then back in. Do this several times. Keep him n follow like that over server reset even. Eventually he should pop out of it, doing so when you render it in and before the buildings render in. This is how we would get stuck dinos out before cryopods came out on official years back. Worth a try now.

[obsidian sandal]

sit does not

[mighty topaz]

Use squaws flyers mod and do destroywilddinos

Also hit all your current flyers with the bat and it converts them too

[arctic sierra]

doin that rn

[urban totem]

Does anyone here know how to, or if it's possible to increase generator limit?

[torpid spear]

is there a way to prevent stasis? that way I can do offline breeding

[quaint ether]

anyone know how to set harvest rates after last update, not sure what happend but it has reset back to defult, in the ini file though it still says 7 not 1, ive tried changing it to 7.0, ive tried putting it in game.ini gameusersettings.ini the server start bat file. and have had no luck getting it working again, ive made sure single player setting override thing isnt on. its a self hosted dedicated server, recently added mods, but even without the mods i am having this issue.

[astral lotus]

Does ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer still work in ASA? I tried it in Singleplayer Gami.ini as test using the beacon omni alpha to generate the code but none of the dino NPCs are spawning within these containers.

[swift rock]

Hi, it looks like all modded servers are out of service. They are all with 0 players, cant join server because the preload page with mods list is empty and the game doesnt understand.
Am I the only one ?

[lyric python]

Same ! Looks like Overwatch is down?

[white garnet]

nope, having same issue as well

[lyric python]

Why in the world is our mod status tied to overwatch being online

[white garnet]

is that a curseforge/overwolf issue then?

[cosmic wyvern]

same issue here, tried restarting my server twice. no dice, none of my players can log join

[lyric python]

I tried a manual deletion & reinstall of mods and 0 luck that too

[swift rock]

yes because you can join and see people on non modded servers
only modded ones are impacted

[white garnet]

well this is annoying lol

[rigid venture]

getting ' Could not load information for enabled mods. Please make sure the mod IDs you have entered are valid.' on nitrado web interface doesnt matter if you click or enter manually. going with these hacks is one of the worst choices in a massive batch of worse choices wildcard have ever made

[swift rock]

I hope that the staff is aware of the situation...

[bronze bronze]

looks like curse mod server is down

[worldly nebula]

@rocky chasmlooks like much more people here have the mods/curseforge problems

[dire relic]

not letting me get in whats up with that ?

[mighty whale]

Yessir just want to see if im alive and curseforge be buggin

[dire relic]

whiich mod is that from curseforge ?

[mighty whale]

all the mods

[cosmic wyvern]

all the mods

[bronze bronze]

curseforge is down so thats all the mods

[dire relic]

so imk guessing you wont be able to go one the server ??

[rocky chasm]

uh oh

[dire relic]

so all my dino that are in cryos are gone ?

[white garnet]

only if you removed the mod from the server...

[dire relic]

oh ok

[swift rock]

wait is the only safe solution

[rigid venture]

so between game crashes, nitrado being garbage and curseforge being cursed got one helluva game here

[dire relic]

how long is this server going to be down

[white garnet]

yeah a lot of kinks to work out

[mental geyser]

Nitrado being a dogshit company isn't a kink to be worked out.

[wise fern]

sometime between now and the heat death of the universe the server will be back

[white garnet]

@dire relic i wish anyone had an answer for that

[dire relic]

thank you man really stressed over here lol

[wise fern]

guess it's time to catch up with my beavers in timberborn... they've been feeling neglected

[spring heart]

I bet it’ll be up faster than y’all think

[fast osprey]

The fear of not being able to login and check your base because of this empty mod list...

[rocky chasm]

LMAO

[frail crescent]

So....im assumign Nitrado network is down?

[coarse tulip]

Its not nitrado. its curseforge

[frail crescent]

Or whomever, Curseforge/Wildcard, who the hell ever runs it

[coarse tulip]

3 different entities, 1 shared vision, equally bad problems 😆

[fallow pine]

Why did they move away from Steam Workshop? Because of Cross platform support?

[wise fern]

yes

[ivory yarrow]

Next person to make a ad free mod source for ark (like modrinth for mc) gonna be rich

[hidden notch]

is there a eta for the curseforge issue thats causing nitrado to not start up?

[obtuse acorn]

Curseforge.dogshit

[tired vessel]

you should all open support tickets with nitrado. that'll probably get it fixed faster 🤣

[obtuse acorn]

Its not Nitrado this time

And don't use Nitrado please.

[tired vessel]

but if you do.... open lots of support tickets

[obtuse acorn]

They will just ingnore as always xD

[frail crescent]

There are so many better hosting companies out there. Ours spent DAYS trying to get us a work around to play ASA, up until WC gave in and released dedicated servers back to everyone.

[versed granite]

Not much choice on that one sadly. Unless running a server on own equipment.

[fallow pine]

Not just Ark that sell out to make money,

Scum was bought by GPortal, and have stated they do not plan on releasing Dedicated Servers, so you know

[sudden raven]

Sure there is just boycot them

[mighty whale]

Modded servers banck up now or?

[obtuse acorn]

Just rent a dedi

[fallow pine]

Who is really at fault, them for being greedy, or us for letting ti happen over and over....

Them for sure, but you know

[versed granite]

Where other then Nitrado can you rent a Dedi? They have exclusive rights

[obtuse acorn]

it not that hard to setup your own server on a dedi

[obtuse acorn]

That whas only the case for the first days. The have removed the DRM already.

[swift swan]

if you rent a bare metal server they cant say anything or own your own

[frail crescent]

They have exclusive rights to Game Hosted Servers, not dedicateds. Dedicateds you can choose to use however you see fit.

[wise fern]

build a small box with a good processor and ram, dont need a video card... host all the servers you want on your own

[versed granite]

Okay, good to now. Server I'm playing on is a private server. Not Nitrado. Never crashed in days. Just a daily restart in the morning.

[obtuse acorn]

You can do that with second hands hardware for about 400/500 euros

[wise fern]

oh for sure, easy

[frail crescent]

But you also can open yourself up to DDoS attacks if you dont have proper firewalls in place.

[wise fern]

if you're hosting public servers maybe

[obtuse acorn]

True but there is ddos protection for 30 usd per month when needed

[wise fern]

if you're just hosting dedis for you and your friends, generally dont need to worry about it... unless your friends are giant douches lol

[lone dust]

i have tek parasaurs and helicopter bees on my island are yall seeing the tek paras

[white garnet]

most ISPs have basic ddos protections in place already, obviously more robust solutions would cost you but if youre running a private server for you and your friends then you have a near 0 chance of anyone trying to ddos you

[obtuse acorn]

Just don't share your ip everywhere

[mighty whale]

Does modded server work now?

[wise fern]

eh IP isnt hard to find, DDoS isn't exactly an easy thing to do, nobody is gonna do it just for funzies

[frail crescent]

Nope, still down

[lone dust]

you must got enemies brotherrrrr

[versed granite]

Not yet, Curseforge is working on it.

[mighty whale]

DO they have an eta

[obtuse acorn]

True but most scipt-kiddies are not the smartest kids

[sudden raven]

Is it curseforge for sure?

[frail crescent]

Dunno what made you think that, but no.

[wise fern]

your basic home router is generally good enough to protect against script kiddies

[versed granite]

No ETA yet. Just a small announcement for now.

Ark Mod Download issues
There is currently an issue with downloading mods automatically when joining ARK: Survival Ascended servers.
The team have been notified

[obtuse acorn]

Not against 20Gbps+ ddos attacks

[white garnet]

i dont think theres been any official word on the problem

[wise fern]

thats what im sayin, you're not gonna get DDoSed... thats a pretty rare thing to actually happen

[obtuse acorn]

True

[white garnet]

lol people arent going to spend that kind of time effort and resources on a ddos for an ark server

[obtuse acorn]

For sure it happens

[wise fern]

like it's really not something any private server host needs to worry about... i've been hosting private servers for like 2 decades and have never had someone even try to break in let alone DoS me

[obtuse acorn]

It are just free services that they use for that

Just enter the ip and push on start

[white garnet]

has it happened more than 0 times? probably yes. do YOU need to worry about it? absolutely not.

[frail crescent]

Ive just been in IT for too long, I just try to account for all security variables. Didn't mean to spark a whole debate about it lol.

[wise fern]

im in IT also, its just not a thing that happens to private users

[gleaming whale]

mod issues anyone else ?

[obtuse acorn]

I am more talking about community servers

[white garnet]

yep its down

Ark Mod Download issues

I know, it doesnt happen to everyone. Btw where is that Notice posted at if you dont mind?

[modern bramble]

anyone experiencing mod download issue?

[obtuse acorn]

And now i wanna play xD

[wise fern]

this entire conversation has been about private users hosting dedicated servers for themselves and their friends...

[obtuse acorn]

Yeah my bad.

[reef heron]

Are nitrado servers down?

[white garnet]

yes its down

[modern bramble]

woooooow that means no one can connect to their servers unless its vanilla. this is crazy!

[wise fern]

correct

[white garnet]

that is correct. if you have mods on the server, then you gotta wait lol

[modern bramble]

cough cough steam didn't have this issue 🙂

[vestal pecan]

does anyone know any good whitelisted ASA servers to play?

[white garnet]

yeah steam also wouldnt allow epic games, microsoft, xbox, ps, or any other platform download mods from it either, so it was a necessary change to have cross platform capabilities

[frail crescent]

No, you just had to Unsubscribe and Re-Sub to EVERY mod that updated

[white garnet]

you can probably find something in the server-ads channel

[white garnet]

if you had to then you had some problems. mods auto updated without issues for me.

[sweet delta]

Yep. My dedi server cannot be joined. CF Mods aren't loading This is bad. lol

[stone shore]

I unsubbed and redid it on my nitrado server and still getting the issue

[frail crescent]

I know I wasn't the only one. Had communities repeat the same thing. Sure if you left it on for a few hours, it would eventually kick in, but for the most part, it wouldnt recognize it was updated and steam would just be sitting there.

[fallow pine]

He was talking about with Ark when it was hosting mods on Steam

[plucky sparrow]

what fucking crackhead is in charge of project management of ASA ... get fucking fired !!! for real tho , youre actually useless

[frail crescent]

Completely different issue /forehead.

[wise fern]

calm down man, not the end of the world

[obtuse acorn]

Calm down

[brazen glen]

whats up with all the floating rocks??? lol

[stone shore]

So what's causing all the mods not to work

seems curseforge servers are having some issues

Guess Ill download the DevKit, and fart around, try to learn it

In ASE there was a problem with the client-side representation of babies getting stuck in foundations and such as they grew. I kind of wonder if they didn't solve that by yeeting the client-side representation of the baby up, then letting it land 'on the surface' correctly...

But if so, it's had hilariously unintended consequences inasmuch as the babies get launched into orbit (or embedded in the ceiling if indoors) -- though it seems to be entirely client-side, because if you use the tracking icons they'll still point to the spot the baby should be were it not currently undergoing astronaut trials in the Island's local space program.

[brazen glen]

also whats up with my server crashing and loosing like 20min of progress and levels but if i pick up explore notes i cant pick them back up after lossing all progress gained from them?????????

[somber fiber]

I could be wrong but I believe the explorer note data is stored in your Arkprofile file, which is saved separately from the primary game save.

[plucky sparrow]

thats an issue in your server config , only compliment i have about ASA is stability , we run 60 to 100 players never crashes.

wooly penguin launch a fix for the save data issue , again the game relies on outside WC fixes nothing changed

[brazen glen]

to be fair its actually my game crashing not the server but sometimes when i alt f4 i shut the server down lol

[plucky sparrow]

well there is your issue , its not running a world save

[somber fiber]

yep

[brazen glen]

how do i fix that?

[somber fiber]

do a cheat doexit instead of alt f4

[plucky sparrow]

i mean it runs a auto worldsave on proper shutdown , but you can do a manual one by using cheat saveworld in the rcon

[torn void]

yo dawg i cant load mods any idea whats going?

[smoky aspen]

all servers with mods aint working atm 😦

[plucky sparrow]

the great new curseforge system is going on.

[lyric pagoda]

See, this is the problem when you use a site that literally has Curse in the name. If it was BlessingForge I'm sure we'd all be fine! 😉

[torn void]

im in full panic anxiety on 11

[brazen glen]

ya my problem is when my game crashes the game wont close without an alt f4

[urban totem]

Anyone have any idea if it's possible to increase generator limit?

[white garnet]

that is actually the reason you see titanosaurs flying when they spawn in, its because they kept falling through the ground or getting stuck originally.

[sweet delta]

CurseForge was the worst idea IMO. I wish we stayed on Steam Workshop.

They did this to allow Cross platform mod support. Which is terrible

[obtuse acorn]

It was fine when it was working

[plucky sparrow]

you running a local host or what ? dedicated servers simply have a rcon window that will not shut down on a alt f4 completely lose steam cmd

[sweet delta]

It's very finnicky

[bronze bronze]

even the steam workshop can go down lol

[white garnet]

how is cross platform mod support terrible? sure theres some bugs and issues but calling the entire feature terrible is a bit stupid

[restive laurel]

this is so stupid lol

[plucky sparrow]

ima agree with you cause i know who you are

[sweet delta]

I'm aware. But when you're a modder and have to use Curse Forge systems. It's a lot of a downgrade mate. Steam Workshop never failed for us modders.

[brazen glen]

im using the dedicated server tool on steam

[plucky sparrow]

bruh

[restive laurel]

when has workshop went down lmfao

[brazen glen]

should i just use steam cmd?

[plucky sparrow]

yes

[brazen glen]

ok 😦 lol

[lyric pagoda]

Yep! It's an easy (albeit moderately hilarious) solution to the problem -- I might've done something more complicated with a downwards box trace and taken the Z of the first hit result, added some small "safety value" and spawned the dino there, but I also suspect there's some (probably terrifying) reason why they didn't take that path.

[brazen glen]

Is running ark ascended server manager for steam cmd ok instead of running a bat file?

[obtuse acorn]

Bat files give you more control

[brazen glen]

ya i dont plan on doing anything crazy thou i just want default ark

[plucky sparrow]

this shit just feels like they gave steam players all the trash from console. it is not a improvement by far , people saying something else clearly do not have not created mods nor have they ran servers for longer than a week

users dont even have a steam ID , the way the USER ID are set up is just a disaster for plugins mods , a basic hash , come on now.

curseforge was a mistake , 1 the UI is horrible , 2 the way mods are installed make it that there are alot of CLIENT side issues , which is worse cause the avarage player does not have the knowledge to fix it ... the amount of tickets we get where we endlessly have to explain how to reinstall mods is breath taking.

[lyric pagoda]

I feel like that's not entirely true. Steam Workshop had its occasional woes as well. It never took down the entire unofficial server ecosystem, I grant, but there were absolutely weird and annoying quirks. Like where an update would be pushed and then just fail to download for some subset of people.

[sweet delta]

Updating via SteamCMD was finnicky at times. Yes. I get that.

I personally never ran into Mod update issues when using ASM though. So 🤷‍♂️

And that was over 8 years. So the odds?

[plucky sparrow]

ocasional cache issue only on specific mods ugh ugh will not mention names , which was an easy fix > clear mod ID cache redownload done

[sweet delta]

Yeah for sure.

[bronze bronze]

should have seen TF2 days of workshop lol

[sweet delta]

WC is aware and onto the issue ASAP now. It shouldn't be down for much longer 😄

Patience!

[restive laurel]

we back baby

[lyric pagoda]

There was a stretch of time where occasionally SteamCMD would just download borked copies. I will grant you it was less frequent with self-hosted servers using ASM, but for hosted solutions it still had a couple of stretches of time where it would just... randomly not work right. And the way Steam would download mods into a workshop directory and then ARK had to copy them into its own Mods directory was... uh, I'll go with 'inefficient' and leave it at that.

But my point was more just that "Steam Workshop had no downsides and never experienced any issues" is not strictly speaking true; it did experience issues, and among the downsides were "friends who had ARK on console could not play on the same servers as those of us who had it on Steam."

But I absolutely grant you that it never borked things to a degree remotely like what we're presently seeing.

[white garnet]

can confirm, its working again

[glossy yarrow]

yeees working 👍

[obtuse acorn]

lets go!

[plucky sparrow]

@sweet delta dropped you a DM havent spoken before but i might have something that might interest you

Me and my stepdad play it

[slate slate]

Hi. Not new to ARK, not real good. Have always played by myself and don't have a real idea. I travel and play on an iPad, looking to join a group who will help me learn.

[empty comet]

wtf you can't advertize the Official Ark Mobile Discord on this Discord... Anyway, Go look for that as I doubt you're playing "remote play on a PC" which sounds like a terrible idea to try if it even works with ASA... And we can't trigger the bot to post it either.

[stone shore]

Has the mod stuff been fixed

[true furnace]

hey any idea where i can find eqqus? havent found one yet

[empty comet]

I saw some North of the redwood island on the [North side of the] beach

near the usual bronto/rex spawn spot, annoyingly for taming. I guess you can argy them tho.

they were low levels so I ate them :p

Which now painfully reminds me I didn't have one for my first 145 argy taming try which fell in the water #$#(*$

[dreamy island]

Anyone ever had someone join your server and give themselves admin? No password was entered for it the guy just gave himself admin so im confused.

exact same thing just happened

Anyone know what's up with the unofficial server outages

Server suggestions for a solo?

[tardy pine]

You too ehh? About got mine working how I want it to

[tardy pine]

Luckily I had backups from before they trashed everyones bases

[woven linden]

@tardy pine @viral viper Are either of you two hosting on your own computer or on Nitrado? Using any remote tools for admin? Using any mods?

Are you the only admin? Are there others who you have let admin? Are you using password only for getting admin or are you using the ini files for that? Definitely seems suspicious.

[muted python]

Any duo pvp fresh wiped servers?

[gleaming kite]

If you go on any boss with gcm it wont unlock engrams

[white lintel]

Windows GSM has Discord integration to allow specified users to stop/start/update the server. Also provides status updates.

What is it you're trying to have other users do?

[tardy pine]

Hosting on my own server PC, no publicly available remote tools for admin (I make my own) and rcon ports are closed externally. Admin password for me only, no other admins. What seems suspicious?

[mental jewel]

Yep! Just about got mine done too.

The biggest draw of writing my own bot was providing a kickme command so that people stop texting me to kick them when their client crashes.

[empty comet]

ASA's much better at kicking players out when you get disconnections thankfully

[tardy pine]

Do you have the users verify their character in discord before they can use the command on themselves? Like a database to link networkid to their discord user id

[woven linden]

Well, suspicious that folks are getting into your server without you letting them. Are you running any mods?

EDIT: Just trying to narrow down what the root issue might be here.

[empty comet]

I mean if he programmed his bot I figure he's knowledgable enough to make sure you can't send fake commands through it - or if so, he'd know about it... The level of knowledge to make a Discord bot is still quite high :p

[mental jewel]

I am debating on doing that manually or having them link their steam and discord accounts through openid

I have a small private server so it’s an easy one time setup in the config file for me

[tardy pine]

Ohh its a public server, no password for entry. The weird thing is that people come in and have instant admin. Like they did some memory hacking and put themselves in cheat mode. Something that should only be possible if the game is not server authorative (cant tell if it is or not). If they used the admin password to elevate it would be in the game logs

[woven linden]

Right, I wouldn't expect the client, except yours, to store creds unless entered.

Unless it's doing something dumb like the server passing some data to the client that can be cracked/inspected.

[tardy pine]

Yeah that could easily be a json array. linking steam wont do anything because players in the game dont use the steam ID :/ unless you found a way to fetch it. Player ID's seem to be some kind of epic games network ID

[woven linden]

And any mods? Wondering if someone got clever with a mod to get at admin passwords or some other means of getting admin.

[tardy pine]

exactly my thoughts, but I cant find where those creds would be passed. No mods at all

[woven linden]

I suppose there could be some built in admin that WC forgot about. 😦 They did forget about one that folks found out on officials. :/

[tardy pine]

the other option would be to use a tool like CE to override the console but that should only be possible if the client has network authority. And it really really shouldnt

[tardy pine]

Ahaha, if its on officials it's probably hardcoded in the files, and also on unofficials also. gold star to WC 🌟

[empty comet]

the [in-game] console just sends a "UE packet to the server"; if someone found a way to bypass the password for packets (ie: toggle the player's admin flag) - or even found that the server can accept packets that aren't avaiable in the "unhacked client", it'll just accept them...

[woven linden]

Or a token they found. Yeah, but they said they fixed the one on servers. Though I've been doing development/testing long enough to know that developers often make the same mistake elsewhere. LOL

[mental jewel]

Ah, but Listplayer lists their steam name followed by their online ID.

You need the online ID to kick them so the parsing listplayer requires both. First looking up their steam name, then kicking them if they are logged into that server.

That has the advantage of openid forcing authentication and preventing impersonation or fat fingering a huge user ID

[tardy pine]

Very true, their steam name is truncated though if it is over 14 characters long. I even pulled apart the character save to see if the full steam name would show for one of my players and it was even truncated in there. That method should work for most users though

[wise kindle]

Are your transfers disabled? Theres an exploit where you can import your character with gcm from single player on servers. Its a bug atm, just turn off all downloads to prevent it.

[tardy pine]

That whole system breaks down though if you will be allowing crossplay

[tardy pine]

Is that a backdoor for folks getting admin?

[woven linden]

Sounds like it, or at least resembles admin.

[wise kindle]

Yep. Just turn off your downloads for now. Its a bug.

[mental jewel]

Easy enough to just use starts with matching.

The only real edge cases are identical names on the server at the same time.

Which gets back around to just putting it in the config

[woven linden]

Also makes sense given what you saw and didn't see happen in the logs.

[tardy pine]

Identical steam names should be a super marginal issue. How are you looking up the steam names? Is there a steam API for that?

[tardy pine]

I appreciate that bit of information. I'll shut off the transfers right now.

[wise kindle]

Np

[mental jewel]

Yep! The ISteamUser api

[clever trail]

Oky so i've been searching forums and yt vids on info but it's so inconsistent it makes me wane hurl🤮

Where can i get a accurate example gameusersettings ini file with explanations next to what stuff do?

Like the max players ( -WinLiveMaxPlayers) how the sh!twinds should we just know that?

I wana have a ASA server and know what to actually set and not just freeballin it

Any help will be appreciated

[woven linden]

It's in the wiki. But that is still not complete yet for ASA.

[clever trail]

Link please because there are so many that claim to have "the most updated and correct" info

[mental jewel]

Go to single player, use the UI to build out the settings you want and then look at the game user settings.ini file and game.ini files for single player.

The sliders in the game have help text.

[woven linden]

Pretty sure I cannot post a link. Search for "WinLiveMaxPlayers wiki" in google and it's the first hit.

Ah, and it's pinned here as well.

[mental jewel]

It’s not perfect and command line switches are not going to be there but you can quickly test the settings

[woven linden]

If you do it that way make sure to turn off single player mode or what ever it's called, otherwise you get some settings you'll likely not want on a server.

[tardy pine]

like ultra extreme godlike easy mode

Thank you!

I asked yesterday hw to find ase unofficial servers and someone pointed me to beacon. I've took alook and I can't see where I can search for active unoficial servers. Anyone help me understand?

[hushed flame]

AllowedCheaterSteamIDs work ?

[mental jewel]

Beacon helps with configuration. It’s not a server browser

Try battlemetrics

[indigo turtle]

@mental jewel Oh I guessthat guy misunderstood me yesterday then. Is there any good way to browse active servers on ase? I think my search on the actual game is broken since I've been told there are a good few unofficial servers doing well but most of the ones I can see have 0 players.

[vernal talon]

is there a way too change player level in setting servers?

[mental jewel]

Battlemetrics site is probably what you are after

is there a way too change player level in setting servers?

I'm trying to enable my sister access since we like having our own tribes and Dino's but we like helping each other where we can. Allowing allies access to boxes and not everyone was a good feature in ase.

[wise kindle]

Pin coded doors/storage is the only way that I know of. Alliances have never granted any sort of outside tribe access. Only thing it does in ensure they wont get shot by your turrets.

I can't seem to add a pincode to the fridge or industrial forge

Ive heard that ORP is possibility disabling pin coding. Regardless its a bug atm as pin coding is supposed to be available with or without ORP.

[slate ravine]

is it possible with dedicated server to get the server to listen on a different port? I put a different port and different query port but it stops showing up in the server list if I do that

[mental jewel]

You need to open the ports in your router

[obsidian sandal]

i am able to "cheat ghost" without issue as admin. i don't need to do admincheat

[solemn zephyr]

Good to know!

[obsidian sandal]

my server is set to listen on 7799 and 27057 and works fine. make sure you port forward whatever ports you want to use.

[slate ravine]

yeah I had em forwarding.

[olive pecan]

guys, I can't open inventories since last update, I updated my dedi last night (24h ago aprox.). Someone with same problem?

[slate ravine]

was trying to run two servers and second wouldn't show up even with them on different ports

to start it with a different map you just need to put the map name as the first thing in the command line right?

[tardy pine]

Yeah, you also have to put the ports you want to use in the start file arguments, ive never had any luck getting the gameusersettings ini to do anything for ports.

open them in the firewall and obviously port forward.

[slate ravine]

I am trying to get it to start with svartleheim map

[tardy pine]

Make sure you spelled it right in the start file, and make sure your adding the mod to that server

Map Name: Svartalfheim```

[slate ravine]

I thought you put it in the command line. like so start C:\arkserver\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe Svartalfheim_WP

that is how the command is formatted for the island map.

[tardy pine]

I also assume it's an ark survival evolved server right? Not survival Ascended?

[slate ravine]

ascended

[tardy pine]

I don't think that map is available for Ascended. I have been wrong before though

[slate ravine]

the map is for ascended also off curseforge.

[tardy pine]

take off the "_WP" from the name then, see if that does it

[gleaming whale]

has anyone figured how to host multiple servers on a single dedi

anyone here run a PVE server for nitrado? we want to lock all structures placed but only thing can do is pin code some thing? aint their a option to force lock?

do you put this in the override certain settings section?

[bronze bronze]

put it in your gameusersettings.ini without the ? or in your launch arguement with the ?

[gleaming whale]

is cluster working yet

[bronze bronze]

why would it, new map aint out yet

[wise kindle]

Clustering wont be enabled till December when SE releases.

[woven linden]

So it's not clustering if say you had 2 island maps and wanted them connected? No idea as I'm new to setting up servers for Ark.

[solemn zephyr]

Correct

So you make sure you disable all downloads and uploads so people can't come from single player with spawned stuff

With all the unofficial servers is it even worth trying to make ads and all that?

me or the other person 🙂 I coppied the one off Nitrado after I couldn't get it to work locall

it was in the gameusersettings.ini on there

[woven linden]

If you use the command line for the password make sure it is the last of the line. Or remove it from the command line and only have it in the ini.

[hidden notch]

i see if i can spot anything for you if you want just send a pic of the gameusersetting.ini

[fringe plover]

Anyone know the most popular PVPVE servers to play? With dedicated servers for PVP? I’ve looked in server ads, but there’s too many to see

[quartz flower]

anyone on PVE unoffcial know how to apply the rider bonus for imprinted dinos? for nitrado i have 100% imprint but icon not their unless doesnt work in ASA

[fallow pine]

My understanding is, so long as DisableImprintDinoBuff is not set to true in the GUS.ini should be applied

[quartz flower]

like is the rider icon suppose to be their like from first game?

cuz its not

[half fern]

Its ark additions and Nitrado

[glossy timber]

is anyone having issues joining an unofficial server where the server just isn't appearing in the list? my husband can find the server fine and join, but it wont appear for me and i can't join my husband when he is in game.

[fallow pine]

I am about to spin up my test server anyway, I will imprint and test

[midnight karma]

Is there a way to change level distribution? So it’s weighted towards top end?

I have max difficulty box checked but the distribution seems still to be weighted towards the low levels on the island. Rarely anything over 130

[buoyant shell]

How to turn off mods automatically updating on a Nitrado server and then restarting the server with no warning to those playing?

[plucky copper]

Are we able to create clusters yet? I haven’t tried

[native wave]

The mod Custom Dino Levels...highly recommend it

[fallow pine]

I stole a baby dinosaur, imprinted on it, and cared for it, got the notifcation saying it imprinted, however its imprint didn't go up,

Also wasn't showing the imprinted player name either

Forced it to be me, set imprint to 100, still didn't get rider buff

Rider bonus may not be a thing anymore.

[native wave]

More than a few basic functionality of ark things broken...thanks nitrado for rushing the game out

Couldn't do the exclusivity and just let them finish the game...had to set a deadline

[fallow pine]

Not Nitrado,

This is happening on self hosted dedicated servers I would imagine, so this is a Studio Wildcard / Grove Street Games thing

Not that I am defending NItrado, I personally do not use their service(s), so you know, take from that what ever you will

[native wave]

Yes the devs are responsible for developing the game...but nitrado set the deadline with their contract. That forced the devs to set priorities...and some things clearly got deprioritized

[wise kindle]

Setimprintedplayer is broken atm. I opened a bug on it.

[fallow pine]

Is it? What is it doing for you? I got it to imprint based on my name and ID,

But yes, I am still not getting the rider buff

[wise kindle]

I can claim a baby and get the buff and the baby showing my implant character ID and all that. Can 100% imprint it. But I cant set an imprint on a creature with admin commands. It seems to set some kind of global index number for my character, instead of the implant ID number. So it appears to be busted right now.

[fallow pine]

What ID are you using

cheat SetImprintedPlayer <Name> <UE4ID>

You can get the UE4ID number by opening the showmyadminmanager, and copy player ID

Unsure if this is broken since changeover to UE5, but I was able to set the imprinted player to my character named "StultTest"

[wise kindle]

Yeah same process.

Its just showing a 10 digit number, completely different from the number we try to set.

It will say the correct name of course, not the number.

But imprinting hatched or claimed babies works fine for me.

[violet tide]

Is there a way to show locations of dinosaurs with admin commands? In single player, I was able to use HibernationReport <class name>, but dinos don't hibernate on servers it seems so that command isn't working. ListDinos shows me all the dinos in the world, but doesn't show me their locations.

[fallow pine]

Are you referring to the Sample ID?

[wise kindle]

Implant ID.

[spiral portal]

Anyone's servers suddenly have issues? Worked great a few days ago. Now when I create the server it says it's up, but not in the server list. When I try to use open IP:7777 it says I have an invalid password and cannot input the password. Tried updating the server, no luck.

[cloud sorrel]

when this happened to my server I had to uninstall the client software and delete all the leftover folders and then reinstall... 5 other computer in the house could see and play on my dedicated serveer but mine... server was fine something in the client glitched and i could only join offical servers

[gritty falcon]

👋 Wanted to check out ASE after a couple days of ASA, I noticed that all servers are pretty much empty in the server browser. I checked Steam charts, and it says that about 25k people are playing right now. Where are all those big servers that I keep seeing these fancy PvP YouTubers playing on? I've got the feeling that something is wrong on my end. The most populated server I can see has 15 out of 250 players.

[spiral portal]

Turns out my server WAS out of date. SteamCMD doesn't like spaces so C:\Ark Server was not acceptable, I had to use "C:\Ark Server" to get it to the correct directory.

[cloud sorrel]

@spiral portal glad you figured it out

[agile gorge]

nvm I was not running beacon alpha

[round creek]

Can anyone tell me if cheats can be used on unofficial Nitrado Server using Console Command?

'Allocator Stats for binned2 are not in this build set BINNED2_ALLOCATOR_STATS 1 in MallocBinned2' in ShooterGame.log in nitrado, if you know the cause. Anyone know the cause of this?

[brisk burrow]

My server updated about 20 min ago and still down anyone else? Figured probably mods and game need to update too at some point to show back up again

[pine field]

Have you found a solution? I'm really annoyed spending hours killing level 90 and below trying to find higher levels

[native wave]

saying the same thing I told them: The mod Custom Dino Levels...highly recommend it

[silver warren]

anyone have any expirence changing crafting costs of items?

[whole pewter]

hey, what about non-stacking raw mutton ?

[west spruce]

Anyone available to help me with a mod i created that cooked fine but isnt showing up in game?

[thick pond]

will there be a 4x event this weekend again ?

[humble thicket]

Probably only showing you a set amount of servers. Probably be easiest to find out the name of a few and then check them out. Like the one I’m on sometimes caps out at 70/70 (pve though)

[solemn zephyr]

Beacon makes that extremely easy

[final eagle]

Anyone have an ideas on reducing ram cost with ASA currently with 8 mods, only the island I took down my ASE cluster and it alone is eating 30gb of ram out of my 128 I'm intending on having all clusters ASE and ASA until ASA maps are out. Wondering if there are some launch commands I can push on it or some optimization I can do.

[lavish wyvern]

does anyone know why my breeding settings aren't working?

currently using:

[lilac phoenix]

im working on creating mods and such, is there somewhere i can go to talk with other modders?

[stark spoke]

I was under the impression it wasn't possible to host your own unofficial server in ASA, wasn't that why Nitrado was under so much fire past couple of months for that exclusive deal? I don't get it, could someone please explain to me like I'm 5? Is it possible to host your own server using your second PC? Will it get listed as unofficial server in-game? If that is true then why was Nitrado under so much fire by the community? Thanks.

[celest halo]

You have that in the game.ini file

[frigid juniper]

Yes they added it to the anonymous repo so you absolutely can run your own on your own hardware. Even before they did that you could but each one needed to be tied to a steam account that had bought it.

[lavish wyvern]

is that different than gameusersettings?

[mental jewel]

A bunch of YouTubers can’t read contracts and spread a bunch of misinformation. Those same YouTubers have deals with other companies like GPortal so …

The Nitrado contract always had an exclusion for private hosting.

[lavish wyvern]

oh i see it. thank you!

[celest halo]

They couldn't read the Eula for the dedicated server either

[celest halo]

Glad you found it, at work so couldn't write back right away

[lavish wyvern]

I appreciate it 😁 got me on the right path either way

[ashen burrow]

Is there a fix to dino's falling through the foundations?

Seems to only fall through the foundations on my screen. A friend of mine does not have this same issue.

[wise kindle]

There was a fix 2 patches ago. Are you all up to date?

[craggy apex]

Any predictions on if Nitrado will lower minimum player count on servers any time soon (if WC have announced anything about lowering server RAM usage)

[white lintel]

I doubt it

[wise kindle]

They did this a couple months after Gen 2 was released. It could happen again but I wouldnt rely on it.

[unique trout]

Is there a reason server wont start once you add -mods="id1,id2" into start script?

[raven arrow]

So, my game crashed, and I got the report, can anyone decipher what the problem may be? (its from ASA)

You try it without the "

[unique trout]

I tried with and without.. Same issue, everything works if i just remove -mods from script

[celest halo]

You double check the mod IDs, I know it can hang if it has trouble downloading the mod

[unique trout]

Also did that.. seems to be broken

[wise kindle]

How long are you allowing it to start? It has to load mods and that can sometimes take a bit.

[unique trout]

Just closes itself after around 10 secs. tried loads of times

It stops on Ark Version line and closes after 10 secs.. Does not even get to the Primal game data took 0.x secs

[ashen burrow]

I believe so, yes

[quiet trellis]

Any fix for the structures being teleported to 50 - 50?

is it okey if my friends dm you his name is lupus_arctos. he runs the server

[winter nimbus]

Heya, Im the one who runs that server. d to wait for pc restart

[quiet trellis]

yeah that's fine

[ashen burrow]

Anyone know a fix to dinos falling through the foundations? Only seems to happen on my screen.

A friend of mine, on his screen, the same dino's have not fallen through the the foundation but on mine they have fallen through.

He will whistle them up and they will walk up to normal position.

[dusky radish]

When decor mods ? I need more stuff to make bade pretty.

[junior vector]

Is flyer speed leveling fixed yet? Also, does anyone know why my dino stats keep resetting to vanilla values when I restart the server, and then I have to restart it again to fix it?

Uh oh.. restarting didn't fix it this time.. Does anyone know how I fix the issue where my dino isn't affected by config?

Cryo'ing the dino fixed it, weird

[ashen burrow]

Is it normal for everyone here to not be able to access any inventory's until you re-log, EVERYTIME?

[gray scarab]

im looking for a server to play on where do i find it?

help me out pls

[white garnet]

client and server versions dont always match, if youre able to connect then youre fine. if you cant then update the server

[waxen nova]

What are some good unofficial servers? Any wiping today?

[white garnet]

check the server-ads channel, might be able to find one there

[waxen nova]

Thanks, does any1 know a good pvp server with good pop? Preferably wiping soon

[misty turtle]

how can i update my server on gportak

[white garnet]

i dont know gportal, sorry, best bet is to contact customer support

[ancient crescent]

In Asa can you do the thing in ase where one device can host a dedicated server and then other devices can log in and play on it?

[white garnet]

not sure what youre meaning other than a standard dedicated server, if thats what you mean then yes.

[ancient crescent]

Yeah sorry didn't know how to phrase it, thank you

[hearty wedge]

As far as the platform flair goes, we don't know for sure yet on Xbox + WinPC, but the reversal of Steam license use for the dedicated server is a positive signal that hopefully suggests they don't ship console without a self-runnable dedicated server. That'd be horrible but isn't entirely without precedent in other games

[undone swan]

any one have any ideas last week launching server worked fine now today when i try launch it get to initializing and then just closes ?

[white lintel]

Self runnable server? You expecting to run a server directly from yuor xbox?

[eternal crater]

If anyone's looking for a tool for running an ASA dedicated server with auto updating, discord integration, welcome messages / broadcasts, etc. you're welcome to try out the program I wrote to use on my server, just published it to github. Search "arkserversuite" on github.

[white lintel]

@eternal crater are you able to advise what it does that WindowsGSM doesn't? Genuine question btw, not trying to be a....ya know!

[eternal crater]

Not sure. I used ASM in ASE, didn't know gsm supported ASA. You can look at the readme and see. Obviously less polished than GSM; I've just been throwing together the code after work.

But at least it nicely integrates rcon and steamcmd for routine events, etc.

[ashen burrow]

Bump

[undone swan]

have the same issue was working fine last week updated and tried to launch today and get the exact same problem

[cobalt idol]

someone with tribe problems? Some users reported that when they access the server, sometimes they can't access their own boxes or dinos. Reconnecting the server sometimes solves the problem.

[undone swan]

check if you have mod 928833 that is what causing mine to not start looks like it was for me the auto engrams that was removed apprantly

[silver warren]

i just want to know if it changes the cost of bluueprints as well

[solemn zephyr]

Yes it does 🙂

[silver warren]

Sweet thank you

[half river]

Can anyone tell me if unofficial servers are running any more stable than the official network? I'm a console player, just curious if most of the issues are just for official servers.

Hi all, random noob q (only just started playing this game and its brilliant)

The icean metal platform, do i need to fill the center space with foundations? Or can i get away with using ceilings (but then will i be stuck placing certain things???)

[brave lynx]

does anyone know the broadcast RCON command? broadcast message doesnt work

[barren swan]

You can use serverchat message instead @brave lynx

[brave lynx]

oh niiiiice!!

[woven linden]

Is there a list of commands you can use via the server application console? For ASA. I only found a quit and save command mentioned by someone here, but couldn't figure out where to find the documentation for the actual server application. quit and save is most of what I need, but was wondering if there were other commands you can do from there.

[echo torrent]

Anyone know why Nitrado servers are restarting like every 10 minutes now?

[wanton glen]

Anyone know why my unofficial dedicated server would be giving players a Joined TImed out after removing a mod?

We tried resetting the router and we also ended up reinstalling the mod and put it in the load order it was originally at but the ony player that can connect is where our Dedicated PC is we allso checked the portforwarding and powered down the router and restarted to make sure it wasn't an issue with port forwarding

[barren swan]

Sounds like a port issue, maybe the server didn't shut down fully and started listening on another port (e.g. 7778 instead of 7777). Try to run netstat -an | grep UDP to see which port the server is listening on.

[humble thicket]

fix dedis

[indigo turtle]

Anyone know how to find unofficial servers on ase? I've tried battle metrics but I search the servers and I can't find the servers that are shown on there.

[ashen burrow]

You have to add the server by server favorites in steam/epic

by ip address

[cobalt idol]

Some users reported that when they access the server, sometimes they can't access their own boxes or dinos. Reconnecting the server sometimes solves the problem. someone knows a possible solution?

seems it is related with PreventOfflinePvP=True

there are already several users talking about this problem in reddit.

[indigo turtle]

@ashen burrow I'm not sure what you mean by that, can you explain it more? Also is that a way to search for severs? I want to search for most popular unofficial servers

[ashen burrow]

It's in the pin

[red hatch]

anyone know why changing non dedicated tether distance wont change?

[frigid creek]

I wasn't able to increase it so ended up just running a dedicated server 😆 I have since heard some people were able to increase it by updating in the GameUserSettings.ini (and making the file read only) directly rather than the game menu but I haven't tried recently.

[red hatch]

do u know how to get to the gameusersetting

[spring oyster]

did anyone get incubation times to work?

change my to 5 and didnt change anything with the time ingame

[mental jewel]

All the breeding settings are the same as ASE

You can test all the settings on Single player. (Make sure you have use single player settings off)

[spring oyster]

I do sadly

[past field]

Are there any obvious things that cause a server to run but not actually go online? I have a dedicated machine for a server and can seemingly get a dedicated Ascended server running but then can't connect to it via LAN or via IP through the steam server browser. I've forwarded ports 27015, 7777 and 7778 for the pc the server runs off of and added ArkAscendedServer.exe to my firewall allowed list but cannot get it working

[inner verge]

breeding range broken no one seams to be bothered

[mental jewel]

It doesn’t use the steam network so the browser doesn’t work.

You have to search for your server in game

[reef grove]

When doing a custom paint on a Flag/canvas will it show up for tribe mates?

[past field]

Gotcha, I'll look there again. It wasn't on there last night before I got annoyed enough to quit but I've fiddled with it more so maybe it'll show up now. Thanks for the heads up that the server browser in steam doesn't work with it.

[young minnow]

I found my tribe mates have to relog back in to see it

[reef grove]

Cheers

[mental jewel]

If you have password protected it make sure you have the show password protected checked

[past field]

Yeah I know that bit. I've run servers through nitrado for ASE a handful of times but doing it on my own machine in a new game is making it much more difficult

Something else I noticed that I wanted to make sure is legit- my server runs in like literally 2 seconds where it took about a minute to boot up for a guy in a video I watched. Does that mean my installation is screwy and skipping a bunch of steps or is it just because I don't have any data on there yet since I haven't been able to get anyone connected?

[deft echo]

does anyone know where i can find people interested in playing a private server and doing things like taming all dinos and alpha ascension? ive searched various discords/subreddits to no avail

[mental jewel]

As long as the console says the server is booted it doesn’t really matter how long it takes.

[wanton glen]

Our server does exactly that and is an unofficial dedicated server but not considered private

[main crest]

My carno that i have disappeared but it doesnt say it died, i cant track it either

[past field]

I'm not in front of it but I believe the console says "ticking loop". I presume that means it's running?

[mighty topaz]

You'd be surprised what tech servers run on sometimes

[past field]

That's kind of the thing, though. The rig I'm using for a server is a 3770 on an old optiplex q77 board with 32GB of ddr3. It's a decade out of date lol

[ivory yarrow]

Yes thats running, and if your server was a first boot it can be really short since it isnt loading the ark.

[eternal gyro]

on island what difficulty offest do i need to spawn max 225 etc.

[past field]

7 would put you at 210 or 8 would be 240

[ivory yarrow]

max 225 would be

1.073
7

[gaunt tangle]

Is there anything special you have to do in windows 10 to run an ark server? I've installed steamcmd, added firewall ports, port forwarded, everything ican think of. but STILL cannot see my server in the unofficials.

ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="[US][PvP][RootSoft]TheIsland01"?Port=7770?QueryPort=27000?MaxPlayers=70

[ivory yarrow]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Windows hoping this link works. Go here and read "Windows Server editions and crossplay with Epic player"

[gaunt tangle]

installed the cert, still do not see the server however

[ivory yarrow]

Does it show Ticking loop on the gui?

[gaunt tangle]

ahhhhhhhhh, it was something to do with the specific directX and cpp runtimes that they recommend

my goodness that was alot of trouble lol. I had installed cpp redist and directX - the latest ones. Just needed to specifically install the ones they recommended

[ivory yarrow]

;/ , yup

[past field]

Hot damn that may be my issue as well. I'll have to check into that more

[young minnow]

Nope

[olive talon]

Wrong one. Didn't realize my phone "autocorrected" it 🫠 this one

[young minnow]

No issues either

[olive talon]

It was me being dumb. I forgot to hit save. 😪

[fallow pine]

Is there a dino equivalent in the server settings of the PlayerBaseStatMultiplier?

Still unable to increase flight speed regardless of settings, so was going to increase the base flying speed of dinosaurs, BUT, I do not seem to see that setting

[swift pilot]

how do you fix the leach glitch on dino, it wont allow me to remove them????

[merry thorn]

wrong channel for this, my dude. be less desperate.

[swift pilot]

Be less desperate, tf you on about im asking a question in a channel that says discussion weirdo

[ivory yarrow]

this is more the server hosting technical chat, probably best to ask in #ark-survival-ascended
Im also not sure how to fix your issue, cant punch it? Or is there a soup thing to feed your dino?

[worn knot]

Hey so I've set everything up according to that guide, windows ports are open, router ports are open, certificate has been installed and re-started my server but still no dice, is there anything else I can try?

[ivory yarrow]

ASA or ASE?

[past field]

I'm having the same issues here. Crazy frustrating, huh? Server is running but just will not show up in the server browser in game.

[gaunt tangle]

Which ports are you guys using?

[past field]

I know that Nitrado told me that some servers just won't show up in the in-game server browser and that you have to use the steam server browser instead with ASE but that evidently isn't an option with ASA. And I have 7777, 7778 and 27015 fowarded

[worn knot]

ASA

[worn knot]

Yeah it is frustrating! I wish there was official instructions from wildcard without having to guess a lot

[past field]

What's worse is watching a video where a dude has it just work immediately for some reason then mine doesn't

[gaunt tangle]

try this - open up UDP and TCP port ranges 7700-7800 and 27000-27100

[worn knot]

I'm using the same ports too, from what I've gathered from https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#[SessionSettings] is it possible that 7778 isn't needed or at the very least not tested enough

[past field]

I'll try the throw-it-at-the-wall approach and just open a ton of them to see what happens lol. 7700-7800 and 27000-27100 are all wide open now

[gaunt tangle]

Also completely disable your firewall. Turn off public, Domain, and Private. For testing, of course. to narrow down the issue

[past field]

currently booting ASA so we'll see if it did anything

[gaunt tangle]

I also specifically needed to download the directX and CPP Redist linked in the wiki. I noticed after that, it worked. I agrree, latest should work just as well, but it wasnt for me until I downloaded them specifically

[worn knot]

Hmm maybe I'll try temporarily to test
I can see within resource monitor: ArkAscendedServer.exe has the following listed under the Listening Ports

Address | Port | Protocol | Firewall Status
IPv4 Loopback | 8888 | TCP | Allowed, not restricted
IPv4 unspecified | 7777 | UCP | Allowed, not restricted

No dice for me. Firewall is off now. Gonna spam refresh some more now

and I made certain to have the exact c++ and dx files installed. Hoped that would be the issue but I couldn't be that lucky

[worn knot]

What's odd is I can see my server is on and is able to be searched within battlemetrics

[gaunt tangle]

server name?

[past field]

Part of me wonders if it isn't the same as with ASE where some servers just won't show up in the in-game server lists and we just need to wait for steam to add it to their server browser

[worn knot]

Yeah I noticed within the Server Browser there is two entries for Ark Survival Evolved

[gaunt tangle]

Curious if mine shows up -- RootSoft

[past field]

One of those is SotF, I believe

[worn knot]

Mine is Nat Solo

[past field]

Mine doesn't show up on the battlemetrics site

[gaunt tangle]

yeah i dont see anything named "Nat Solo"

[past field]

I see Nat Solo with 1 player on and it's on day 35

[worn knot]

Yeah that's the one

[gaunt tangle]

Interesting. Wonder why I cant see Nat Solo

[worn knot]

Maybe you have some filters enabled, its PvP with no mods

[gaunt tangle]

Nope. No filters. Hmm. Can you guys see "RootSoft"

[past field]

Yeah I see a bunch of RoofSoft

[gaunt tangle]

Well thats good those are showing up at least.

[worn knot]

Yeah same here theres quite a few

If I check canyouseeme.org it says my ports are closed for 7777 / 27015, all my other services are listed as ping-able 80 / 443 etc

[gaunt tangle]

It says mine are closed too, not sure what thats about. Since theyre obviously open lol. People can join and see the servers in the server list.

[past field]

start C:\ArkServer\server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe "The_Island_WP?listen?SessionName=MangoLand?Port=7777?QueryPort-27015?MaxPlayers=20 -NoBattleEye

does this look right or is there something wonky in the command that'd be screwing me up?

[worn knot]

Yeah it's weird. It's something on Steam/Epic's side possibly or something they're still figuring out at Wildcard

[gaunt tangle]

yeah try this.

ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="MangoLand"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20

yours has weird dashes in places it shouldnt, as well as quotes

[worn knot]

I don't have a quote for the TheIsland_WP part but everything else looks okay

[past field]

My server wouldn't start until I added the quote for some reason. Idk I'm going off of two separate youtube videos on ASA, an old ASE video and the wiki guide so it's a mishmash

[cursive laurel]

Using windows server ?

[worn knot]

Windows 10

[dire relic]

What’s the deal with all these crashes ?

[past field]

welp I think you fixed it for me, Root_

[gaunt tangle]

Glad I could help 🙂

[cursive laurel]

Hmmk, likely not the issue then as I believe win 10 has the certificate already, but we had to install a certificate relating to EGS on our windows server machines as they would not show up, showed up instantly after install

[past field]

I think my whole problem was the extra _ in the map name

[gaunt tangle]

You also had a - on QueryPort which needed to be an =

[past field]

I'm loaded into the server on my game rig. Hot damn

[dire relic]

Is anyone else having this crash server problem ?

[worn knot]

Yeah I installed the certs as per the wiki but still didn't help, ah well I'll see if there are any further developments in the next few weeks
