unofficial-setup-help

[bleak ivy]

just weird

[outer hazel]

is anyone able to help me or?

[bleak ivy]

if you are on the same network use the Open IP;port command.

[balmy vortex]

@bleak ivy Any chance you could point me in the right direction? My server went down from a brownout and now crashes on startup. What do I need to do? I have crash logs but I can't read the .dmp files.

[bleak ivy]

that also works from outside if you are port-forwarding tho

[bleak ivy]

the only guess I have is the corrupted tribe data issue 🤷

[balmy vortex]

Okay, haven't heard of that. Is it fixable?

[knotty lynx]

Does anyone want a tribe mate

[bleak ivy]

#1110949794907684965

[outer hazel]

i have tried, when i use the correct information, it just does nothing, when i use incorrect information it comes up with a timeout error, nothing shows in the server console either

[bleak ivy]

don't know if you can, all I know is the tribe data is causing the crash. if you have access to commands its easy enough to just recreate the tribe and claim all your stuff back.

make a backup tho incase its not causing it.

[balmy vortex]

Heard that, thank you so much for the lead.

Been banging my head against the desk for an hour.

[limber lynx]

there are now corrupted saves as well not just tribe files

[balmy vortex]

How do I determine what's corrupt and whats not? Just file size?

[bleak ivy]

thats not good.

[limber lynx]

usually file size but theres other factors as well

some of them are really obvious others not so much

[balmy vortex]

The server makes autobackups as it goes right? I tried to roll back to a previous save but no luck.

[limber lynx]

every 15 mins its not stopped by default

[balmy vortex]

Is it just the .ark file I need to change to properly load abackup?

TheIsland_WP.ark

[bleak ivy]

everything in that folder is saves.

the ark is the world, tribe is tribe, and profile is survivor

anything with bak are backups

[outer hazel]

^

[limber lynx]

nitrado server?

[outer hazel]

no, self hosted

[limber lynx]

ok thats a beast im not familiar with

[dreamy venture]

You probably have a random corrupt file you need to find. How I did ours was trouble shooting.
Make a backup of it all and then trial and error. Then revert to try again.

[bleak ivy]

not sure, I didn't change anything and it worked when I just launched it. did you set a password? have heard issues with that and the open command

[balmy vortex]

Okay I see.

[outer hazel]

nope, no password, another thing that happens is when i use the open command and then close the server it THEN tells me joining failed hsot closed the connection but there was still not even a recognition that it was connected on the server

[bronze bronze]

hopefully this server version gets pushed lol

[bleak ivy]

what port are you using?

7777 is the default

[dreamy venture]

I tried deleting EVERY tribe.file
Rebooted saw if it worked and then if not reverted.
Tried deleting ALL the player.files
Reboot and see if it works etc.

[balmy vortex]

Thank you, that's helpful.

[dreamy venture]

Tried deleting the paint.cache reboot try etc.

I had to duck with my server for a solid 3hrs to fix it the other night

[bleak ivy]

even the paintings can get corrupted this is worse then I thought

[balmy vortex]

Where is paint.cache?

[dreamy venture]

In that same folder usually at the very bottom if you search file size

[outer hazel]

yeah, im using 7777

but ive also allowed 7777, 7778 and 27015

[dreamy venture]

I sorted that folder 📁 by file TYPE and worked my way through it that way

[balmy vortex]

I found it, tyvm.

[dreamy venture]

If you’re using any of the extra bootup programs that check/verify the game update just run it normally.
Saves like 5minutes per attempt haha 😂 and then just run the program after if needed

[main raft]

yo so whats with the cancer 15 minute timer

oh not in here

[limber lynx]

you can change that

[balmy vortex]

Okay gotcha. I just launch from a basic .bat without an auto updater.

[midnight karma]

Anyone to increase the breeding range on single player? It’s so small

Anyway to increase*

[limber lynx]

i dont think there is one yet but thank you for the reminde

[balmy vortex]

@dreamy venture @bleak ivy Got my server back up, was a corrupted tribe file, thanks so much.

[flint fox]

is there a fix where the server is stuck Loading map indefinitely?

[torpid spear]

is there an ini code to chade what a dino eats? Like say the Achatina?

[dreamy venture]

Did you have to delete them all and go from there?

[dreamy venture]

Go up and read our convo I bet it’s the same issue of corrupt file.

[bleak ivy]

make sure the map is also set properly, sometimes its not actually loading the island

[flint fox]

I will try those in the morning ty

[hardy pelican]

still no server update in 6 days?

[glacial creek]

update just dropped here with my popcorn bowl 🙂

[marble kernel]

Why not pushing update for Unoffical servers ? do we stink?

[balmy vortex]

No, only had to delete the one and replace it with the backup.

[dreamy venture]

ahhhh had the easy enlarged corrupt file :3 ? thats nice

[warm flume]

Hey anyone who uses Nitrado servers, I have a question. If you switch over to Expert mode after you already have some progress on the server (bases built, animals tamed etc.) does it remember everything you have? Or does it wipe the server and start over?

[limber lynx]

it only affects nitrado

[balmy vortex]

Was 44kb. Thought it'd be larger

[plucky garden]

wc is shit

[ruby merlin]

server state for unofficial is running pretty smooth to be honest just a few things here and there

my servers uptime has been a good 10 days no crash

[pallid kestrel]

yes it remembers

[manic coral]

going by the rampage in other channels, i assume its a good thing 😄 last server update seems to have had alot of rubber banding that makes it unplayable and some were saying those patches are getting taken back 😄 so hopefully them not pushing updates to unofficial just means that we get the more stable shit haha
but so far, pretty happy with the current server version, had no crashes yet in a few days.

[carmine cipher]

I hope is the correct changel, i try on a dedi to put the multiplier taming and breeding to change in den game.ini or in gus.ini but its not working someone have a tipp?

[hardy pelican]

my server is still having big memory leak issues :(

[undone hearth]

When will version 26.15 be released on unofficial servers?

[manic coral]

that sucks :/

[manic coral]

TamingSpeedMultiplier=1.0 goes into the GameUserSettings.ini, i think the breeding stuff is correct in the Game.ini
Easiest is to make a singleplayer world and set all the settings you want there, then copy the two files or the settings you want over to your two server files (Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini)

[ruby merlin]

this really is the best way there is a lot missing in server configs u can add to your ini just add it in single player first

i try all my changes in single player first its such a time saver

[carmine cipher]

Yes i gave done,i make single play make the configs, taked the game.ini and put it on my server

[manic coral]

yeah it definetly is, my game.ini in the server was initially totally empty 😄 would be nice if all the settings would just be there, even with default values

[carmine cipher]

And taming multi is in the gus but dont work

[manic coral]

you also need the GameUserSettings.ini, not just the game.ini

[ruby merlin]

i think thats the desired effect but for some reason it has the same as your log files not correctlly posting all the info

[carmine cipher]

I know i have both

[manic coral]

its working fine for me with the files i created in the single player, i copied the whole Game.ini and for the server i only copied the ServerSettings section from the GameUserSettings.ini
if thats now working for you, then i can't help you. Also always make sure to only change the configs on the server when it is shutdown, otherwise it could overwrite the changed settings on shutdown.

[manic coral]

oh also all timers that have already started, will not change after the fact. so if your dino has a breeding/mating timer set for 8h, changeing the setting will not change that cooldown. it will only change future cooldowns/timers.

[strong pasture]

26.15 Still not available

[cobalt idol]

the main bug it is still present since almost 2 weeks ago. If ORP is enable, users can't access their things when they connect servers (dinos, boxes, etc). So they keep reconnecting servers until they can finally have access. Idk why so much time to solve this. Wc is really kidding with us. They'll simply keep loosing players day by day.

[ruby merlin]

i look at it this way yes a lot of reoccuring bugs from the first game have returned but the good thing is developers already know how to fix they just need to code for this release the patches nothing major new has come along so in a quick timescale we should be good again

[cobalt idol]

I do not really believe that. They're being slow as fuck to deliver really useful updates. At least until now. That's why ASA probably has the record for the steam game with most people asking for a refund😅

[ruby merlin]

not compared to first time around they are not

i played from launch day ASE and u would not be running a dedi as smooth as this within them first 6 months

still be trying to figure out how to get connected

also have a theory they will do bigger updates over time then small updates all the time

[cobalt idol]

Imagine making a game available that is not even in beta state xD

Worst than that is doing the exact same thing for the second time 😅

[ruby merlin]

developers do it all the time with mmorpg or online rpg because sometimes u just cant tell how something runs until u run with the limits on it

you can stress test something to the heavens but it dont mean nothing when u got thousands on there with a bunch of different setups playstyles configurastions etc

[cobalt idol]

How to loose clients fast... for the second time...

[ruby merlin]

not really because in a years time they will come back when stable

[cobalt idol]

They're developing + testing strategy is not the best one at all.

[ruby merlin]

game developers that build games with no end really do p[lay for the long haul

[cobalt idol]

I do not think so.. look ASE example 😅🤣

[ruby merlin]

i wouldnt say ASE was failure

i would say a lot of ppl got bored or moved onto other games that looked and felt more updated leadinbg us to here

[cobalt idol]

Exactly.. i have the same opinion..

[ruby merlin]

but if u look at the mods still beinmg developed for ASE and updated you will find a huge community just because official servers died unofficial did not

[cobalt idol]

Why they got bored? ASA will not be different. Asking for more money and do not even started with a new map? Just stupid.

Nothing new.. it just released and users are already bored.

[ruby merlin]

its just how it is with huge games online people move on come back move on again i wont mention any other company names but theres a huge one that this happens all the time

[cobalt idol]

No, i mean.. official servers are ok, unofficial servers are basically empty xD

[ruby merlin]

people are not bored yet they just waiting for their fav map to drop or content to come

dont take everything equaling boredom theres a lot of reasons why numbers are not high but sales are

[cobalt idol]

Sales are? I mean, are you informed about the refunds? Cause a lot players simply asked for a refund. So yeah, not so good for wc.

[ruby merlin]

but then again people asking for more servers tells me u have not even looked at the sales user numbers and are just complaining for the sake of it

the refunds from sales number isnt even 10 percent of sales

out of that 10 percent i say 3 percent are new players that never even played ASE and diidnt understand how arks development works

and the other 7 are most likely players that will return on stable releases

[cobalt idol]

I just bought the game because i host servers since ASE release. With ASE release, i remember that i played like 24h without stopping... with ASA release, i simply created the servers, connected and instantly got bored xD So yeah, probably i will only get addicted again when ARK2 releases...

[ruby merlin]

ark 2 same concept if your bored now wont u just be bored then too

i see your counter arguement is based on u getting bored and not actual facts or data so with that i bid u goodnight im bored of ther debate

[cobalt idol]

Seems it will not be exactly the same concept. And new map will come at least. ASA coming exactly with the same maps, is boring...

I mean, players want to see new maps... not the same maps as ASE..

[ruby merlin]

players understood this was a remaster and not new content we got exactly what u we knew for months we would

it seems you are the one who misunderstood that

[cobalt idol]

I know this is a remaster... that's why i'm saying that is boring 😅

[hot tree]

everyone got it now. thx for ur opinion

just play something else

[sage dew]

im having trouble setting up a dedicated server for me and my friends to play on, any one here setup a server before? using the !fritzbox?

[hot tree]

u need to google the ports and open them

[ruby merlin]

i suggest use ASA manager for first timer its straight foward

[sage dew]

are the ports always the same regarding the country? (im kinda new to htis)

[cobalt idol]

You can still use ASM (not working 100%), just edit the config with ASA appids and new binary name.

[ruby merlin]

yes ports are always the same

[hot tree]

yess it the game ports not urs. all ports normaly closed so u need to open it for every game

[brave igloo]

Can I host on a Linux machine or is Windows a requirement now?

(or win vm)

[lusty mountain]

Only windows for now but you can use proton to run it on linux I believe

[hot tree]

does someone have good settings for the cuddle times to get 100% in a reasonable time?

[blissful shard]

My server isn't bad with the cuddle time but it isn't quite perfect

[humble thicket]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Configuration_Files

[blissful shard]

Full imprints in 1-2 hours roughly

[humble thicket]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=4

goes in game.ini

Scales the percentage each imprint provides. For example, if an imprint usually give 10%, setting this multiplier to 0.5 means they would now give 5% each. While setting it to 2.0 means they would now give 20% each, etc. This multiplier is global, meaning it will affect the imprinting progression of every species.

if you make it 10, you will need one imprint to complete if 5 you will need 2 etc

[hot tree]

thanks alot

You're very welcome. 🙂

[nimble talon]

ALRIGHT! Another server update that isn't pushed to our damn branch!

[obtuse acorn]

They have deleted the update message.

Anyone have seen the message itself? I like to know wat was inside 😛

I hope more memory optimisations

[nimble talon]

It looked like it was just an exploit fix

But I more want the .15 that is supposed to have memory opt, one of my servers is definitely leakin memory lol. gets to around 25GB after a day

[obtuse acorn]

Yeah we have the same mate.

[dusty swallow]

Maybe someone can answer this for me. We've set a cap at 714 for Flak. Now, in the drops, I found a 1300 Flak pants. When I craft them, it shows 1300 / 714. What counts now? 714 or 1300?"

or is it now overcapt?

[summer venture]

I agree, I think alot of people rushed to get their character and a few dinos maxed out asap and are now waiting for the other maps, so many people were used to their clusters and having constant environment changes at a whim. I personally never hard core played, so im enjoying myself doing stuff I never have and even using mods for the first time. (mainly QOL mods) I am learning to dev in UE5 and playing the game is showing me great ways to utilize systems and ways to tweak those systems that don't work the best. It's been great. I also already plan to buy and setup a server for my own clusters just because.

[summer venture]

I would say that the properties for the drop is over riding the max you created. I would think the cap you created is only for crafted.

[dusty swallow]

what you mean that 714 counts ?

[summer venture]

blueprint crafts and regular crafts are different, you would need to try to figure out how to change the cap for blueprints themselves. I think it overcapped the max you set.

Honestly, have someone shoot you or have dinos attack you and see how the durability works. If you get them below your maxxed cap, then try to repair them, see if they only repair to the cap.

[supple ginkgo]

anyone had any issues with carrying structures with the Rhynio on ASA? My ded server is having a seizure when I try carrying something

[pale wyvern]

hrm. I have been toying w/ remaking the Smart Breeder as a website.

[nimble talon]

No lie I opened a server with official XP rates two days ago and there are people nearing the cap already and have tons of tames, like, I don't understand when they sleep.

[nimble talon]

My buddy only ever carried a vault, and it did it just fine, didnh't know it carried other stuff

[supple ginkgo]

kk, my vault is warping all over the place and is invisible on the rhynio. This also makes it impossible to place down, and the rhynio cant land ever. Really strange

[summer venture]

People have it down to a science.

[opal osprey]

has anyone been able to connect to self-hosted dedi with RCon yet?

[nimble talon]

To be fair I never have used rcon, but I can try lol

[celest halo]

I have since day one

[nimble talon]

What do you use to run the commands, and is saveworld working with Rcon? Doesn't work on the stupid giaant terminal

[celest halo]

Custom Python script

[nimble talon]

ah

[celest halo]

Sending SaveWorld works for me I get a log entry saying saving world and a world complete line after sending it through rcon

[opal osprey]

ok cool, turns out it was a mistyped admin password lol

[celest halo]

Lol

[serene granite]

is 26.15 out for private servers ?

[celest halo]

Nope

[serene granite]

kk thanks

[celest halo]

Only been like 69 hours since the patchnote for it, and no messages about why it has not been released to unofficials

[wise kindle]

Was it an update then? Did it hit officials? I missed that whole thing.

[olive sleet]

SteamDB shows a lot of activity with it, seems like they're updating it a lot and don't want to break anything by releasing it now

[left ice]

This should be more apparent to me, but I'm struggling to turn up a consistent answer so hopefully one of you fine people can help - if I set up custom drops in ASA (I'm using Beacon to do this), will the SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier alter these at all, or are custom drops in the ini absolute?

[celest halo]

All that activity started 2 days after that patch

Most is from yesterdays patch, that they went and deleted

[humble thicket]

Nitrado mods said "It's a a minor patch" ... meanwhile: the last 6 were as well

[celest halo]

It is only a minor patch. Only major patch we got was 26.2

It's more the fact that WC announces a patch for PC then does not give it to half of the PC community and says nothing about it

[humble thicket]

💯

maybe the patch will make all servers official so they are waiting lol .

[stray axle]

my friend had the same thing in the redwoods like if the vault was bounded to a area or someting and as soon as he goes out of that area the vault got resetted to the pickup place.

[ruby merlin]

more then likely they hol;ding off on the patch because it has the cross play in it

[supple ginkgo]

strange. In my case the vault was hoovering in the air, and nothing I did could make it drop or make the rhynia drop it. Couldnt land or anything. I ended up removing the resin in his inventory, and then everything just poofed, no bag or anything 😛

[thick saddle]

mine was dysoning in the air

[olive pecan]

26.15, please? My ORP has an inventory bug

[sacred veldt]

did you found a fix?

[alpine flame]

so the patch came out 3 days ago. its still not out for unofficial? pathetic.

[white garnet]

Has anyone gotten the custom stacks for raw/cooked mutton working? It worked in ASE but cant get it to work in ASA.

[lofty sedge]

Not currently.

[white garnet]

ok, thanks

[thick shell]

My friends and I have a private server running for ASA and I need to clean reinstall windows. Will I have access to my same character on our server? If not, can I somehow recover access to it?

[white garnet]

if its not the server that you are reinstalling windows on then yes you will have the same character as that is tied to your account and not your computer

[thick shell]

Awesome. It's via steam ID then? Thanks

[white garnet]

essentially yes

[thick shell]

Perfect. Thank you.

[quasi sierra]

Mine started working today for some reason. I didn't change the ini file, didn't have an update, it just started working.

[white garnet]

wtf? lol, it still isnt working for me, thats so weird.

could you copy/paste the line youre using for mutton? make sure i got it right...

[wise kindle]

Mine started stacking last week. I changed nothing. Be sure to actually manually try to stack them, its doesnt auto stack them after it started working.

[white garnet]

hmm gonna get a new sheep and try again lol

[cobalt wasp]

Can anyone DM me the config files for a server that is equivalent to small tribes rates and rules? changed the rates but now dinos only get like 3 hide a kill where you get like 70 by hand lol

[solemn zephyr]

Get beacon, load the defaults, and adjust as needed 🙂

[cobalt wasp]

Beacon? like a supply drop?

[solemn zephyr]

Beacon, the ini generation app, linked in the pinned comments.

[steep hollow]

can anyone help me with OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino, i have it capped att 500 and when i increase it, it goes back to 500

im using primal fear

[sullen heath]

Is the memory leak on ASA Servers known? like using 100gb ram after like 15 hours

[robust junco]

Is anyone else's dinos not laying eggs?

[celest halo]

I would guess so, seeing the number of patches to fix memory usage

[robust junco]

Can I change the load order of the mods on my server through ftp settings. Every time I try it through the curseforge mod page on nitrado it just randomizes the order.

[frail crescent]

^^ another reason to not use Nitrado

[austere panther]

Mod order should almost never matter. The things that make it matter are either because the mod was designed around them, or the modder just doesn't know any better.

[opal osprey]

does clustering and transfers between the island and svartalheim work currently? or will that come with scorched earth release?

[finite token]

Anyone else's self hosted dedicated server's stuck on 26.11?

[opal osprey]

yes

[finite token]

Awesome I figured that was the case. Just wanted to double check

[opal osprey]

i dont think they've updated the anonymous branch yet

[celest halo]

they havnt updated unofficial and at this rate we prob going to skip over 26.15 lmao

[proven ore]

Where i have to put command like ItemStatClamps[3]=19800 on my sinlgeplayer server, on the command line didn't work so idk

[fleet olive]

Lol. V26.11 ftw. Odd indeed this was missed. Perhaps they forgot?

[fleet olive]

I tried setting up a cluster the other day and could not see the cluster via the transmitter. Perhaps that is currently disabled?

[opal osprey]

gotcha, thanks, likely it is

[lapis pine]

Nope! I have no idea what’s going on. No one seems to

[ruby merlin]

you guys also getting the huge pile of stones spawning in harvested spot bugs on your server

if i remember this was a major crashing problem with ase looks like its happening on mine

only started after i started using a deodicurus

[bronze bronze]

by the sounds in other channels, 26.15 and 26.18 aint so nice lol

so take it as a blessing

[wise kindle]

Thats what I'm thinking. We may be being saved here and not know it.

[celest halo]

.18 is prob the one they did last night then deleted the patch note for, so know that one is really shit

[bronze bronze]

it was, it was explot fixes and debug tools for them

but then after it deployed every official server on it was rubber banding like mad

[dusk crater]

I started hearing people's microphone's going off in game. Someone in the server discord said they experience the same thing and believe it is to do with when individuals are running bosses that sometimes the microphone audio gets fed to other people around the map. Anyone else run into random microphone audio they weren't meant to?

[bronze bronze]

bet you feel silly now

[sonic raptor]

Mau

[raven wigeon]

any idea why my ark dedicated server only appears if i search for it?? doesn't appear on the Server list, but if i search for the name it shows!!!

[nimble talon]

Probably because there's hundreds if not thousands of servers and they only show 200

[celest halo]

theres like 34k

if you go by battlemetrics

[bronze bronze]

its limited to 200 thats why lol

[plucky copper]

Looking for people who wanna admin/moderator role and learn it and possibly profit I need help so lmk

[vocal meadow]

anyone know why my server says started on nitrado but doesnt show in the session list, even if i type the name in?

[wise kindle]

There is a “global” chat setting that if enabled is supposed to broadcast player mics across the map. That might be enabled.

[barren shell]

Why’d my message get deleted tf

[regal karma]

hey anyone know how to host unofficial server off of a dedicated machine instead of fucking with nitrado?

I can buy a server but i just dont know how to connect it to ark

[wise kindle]

There are guides in the pins.

[pseudo sentinel]

Do you have a password?

[grim nova]

Anyone having an issue adding a password to their server? I am hosting on my PC and when I dont have the password argument the game loads fine for all of my friends internal/external to my network. However because of randos dropping in I am trying to set a password and adding it to either the batch or the GameUserSettings.ini or both results in a black screen loading in with no log of the connection on my server console. Remove the argument game plays like normal and I see the IP's connecting in the server console. Weirdest thing.

[timber stirrup]

Is there a way to ban players from a dedicated server outside of using the main server ban list url from Ark? We have some players banned on our ASE cluster we want to make sure are banned on ASA.

[olive talon]

Showmyadminmanager while ingame

[timber stirrup]

yeah, sadly that means i have to go through and enter each one individually. I was hoping there was a file url we could make. similar to the admin list.

Thank you for responding.

[bronze bronze]

maybe we will get this one

[cloud sorrel]

Lol haven't even let us have last update

[bronze bronze]

last one was buggy as hell

be thankful they didn't push it

[native wave]

doesn't stop them from patching the client though...hopefully I can still login considering my client started patching after I logged out due to a bug after hopping off my argie

[white garnet]

when its a "minor" patch itll be compatible, only when its a "major" patch will you need to update both

and typically major will have an increase on the first number

[native wave]

That's an assumption. breaking changes over several versions can develop when you don't update a branch people depend on

That's how it SHOULD work

[white garnet]

ive never seen it work differently with either ASE or ASA so far

[obsidian sandal]

Is there a way to allow flyer carry for wild dinos/tribe dinos but prevent it for non-tribe dinos ?

[shrewd depot]

You'll be fine. I logged into my dedi after the client updated.

[native wave]

still waiting for mine to patch

[median fossil]

My server hasn’t updated since 26.11, is anyone else having this issue?

I run the update command on steamcmd but even the steam app won’t update it

[native wave]

they haven't pushed any of the recent server patches to public for dedicated servers

[median fossil]

Ohhhhhhhhhh ok that sucks haha

[native wave]

26.11 is still latest for public

[median fossil]

Thanks, I thought my system was busted

[fleet coral]

Has anybody been able to get svartaheim working?

[robust junco]

Has anyone else's dinos now been laying eggs on their servers?

[wanton glen]

Anyone know why Steam CMD won't update the server after telling it to

[native wave]

[wet timber]

Does Nitrado allow for adding stuff into the commandline now on Ascended? Trying to add -noundermeshkilling so our dolphins stop dying when the slightly touch surface the wrong way.

[robust junco]

Where do engram override command lines go? In game.ini or gameusersettings.ini?

[wet timber]

Game I believe

Does anyone know if you change the difficulty level on the server, does it affect the boss or just wild dinos?

[robust junco]

Can someone help me. For some reason no dinos on my server lay eggs except when mating

My layeggintervalmultiplier is at 1

[gentle terrace]

i think that setting only affects the timer between mating

the eggs have a chance to drop same as poop

[robust junco]

Yes but in a week of my server being up my dinos haven't played one egg

[gentle terrace]

are they decaying?

[robust junco]

Layed*

No I have a oviraptor

[gentle terrace]

do you have an oviraptor?

do you have raw meat with the oviraptor?

if not, he's eating the eggs

[robust junco]

But it doesn't eat the fertilized ones...

[gentle terrace]

oh i don't know for sure, i think it will maybe

[robust junco]

Yeah when I mate them it picks those up and no issues

But even when he's off I'm not seeing eggs from my dinos or wild dinos

[white garnet]

ovi will eat fertilized eggs

[lunar cloud]

my ovi works great, but i do have feeding trough nearby full of meat+berries so he does not eat eggs.

[robust junco]

So do i

My issue is that no dinos are laying eggs on my server

My friends are having the same issue

[white garnet]

then youve got something bugged

[neon portal]

Is there an ini setting to increase range for feeding troughs? Doesn't seem to find anything 🤔

[robust junco]

No but there's a mod with a trough that has a huge range

[north escarp]

how high you guys have DinoCountMultiplier

[neon portal]

Y i noticed but hoped it wasn't necessary xp

[olive talon]

Mine is on 1 for SP

[neon portal]

Feeding range for vanilla tek trough bigger then?

[lunar cloud]

Maybe the Ovi is not taking into account your modded trough ? and eating all eggs instead ?

[north escarp]

I just notice no enough dodos and low dinos on the starting areas, no idea why.

[robust junco]

But then it would still be eating the fertilized ones

[oak patio]

hey is anyone else gaving issues with their nitrado server? like i turned off my server to change settings and now it will not work

[wise kindle]

try a vanilla trough for science.

[white garnet]

you should probably put a ticket in with nitrado support. even if other people are having the same issues, tickets help them track things

[robust junco]

Yeah I will and I'll try adding meat to its inventory but it's wild dinos now dropping them and my tribe mates as well and he's not even using a ovi he just never sees any. Last week I was finding them in the wild and around my base then it just stopped a few days before getting a ovi.

I've also tried to use a mod that has a machine to pick the eggs up but that didn't work either

Was only picking up fertilized eggs

[wise kindle]

Just for science since I have heard of some very weird feeding issues with some of the modded troughs.

[robust junco]

Yeah I'll try that when geforce now stops updating

[wise kindle]

I'm curious if that changes anything. Let us know.

[robust junco]

Ty for the help

[white garnet]

and youve doublechecked in gameusersettings.ini that the setting is exactly this: LayEggIntervalMultiplier=1

?

sorry i think its actually in game.ini

[robust junco]

I'll check again later but I think those settings are under game.ini on mine

Yeah and I've tried 0.01

[white garnet]

might wanna do a verify on your server files

have validate in your steamcmd command when you run it for an update, if you dont already

[robust junco]

It's a nitrado server I can't do that

[white garnet]

oh

might open a ticket with nitrado, its possible theyd have an answer for the problem

[robust junco]

Yes that's what all my mods do and the server

Yeah that's my next step if I can't figure it out.

[teal shell]

anyone have a sec help me test something see if you can join my server

[lyric python]

When are they going to drop that damn update?! Come onnnnnnnnnnnnn

[ornate raptor]

Just to confirm, unofficial is still on 26.11, right?

[serene granite]

yeah. 😦

[ornate raptor]

which is 7 days and 2 updates ago?

[rose vine]

I think Unofficial is always going to be an afterthought

[serene granite]

Better to screw up official servers and have us in unofficials alone.

[rose vine]

First they fix official and client, then it seems they need to do groceries, house cleaning, walking hte dog, then update Unofficial server files 🙂

[rose vine]

Sadly all clients get updated at the same time. forced. So then you can't join your server anyways 🙂

[sturdy pilot]

@zealous auroraAnd where is the update on unofficial servers? What nonsense?

And where is the update on unofficial servers? What nonsense?

[serene granite]

i dont get why people ping devs

you know they busy ?

[warm lake]

How to update the server to v26.21?

[ornate raptor]

I think that is only for major versions

[rose vine]

Not, at the moment

[sturdy pilot]

The update came out on the off-server, but not on the neo-server. And what are they doing?

[hearty laurel]

Yeah, only if it's a major update, but it sure would be nice to actually get some of these performance fixes on the servers used by the majority of their playerbase... =\

[ornate raptor]

yeah, 21GB memory usage is really terrible

I remember being upset when ASE maps used 5-7 GB

[warm lake]

my server used 70GB+ memory

[rose vine]

THat is true, but this is the second time in something of a week they have an updae that is also server side. Which is perfectly fine for me. But let them at least synchronise the update on official with Unofficial

[ornate raptor]

Seems a bit unrelated....

[humble thicket]

My 70 Slot ASA use 9GB with 31ppl connected atm, how u can get 21GB?

[sturdy pilot]

???????

[hearty laurel]

Mine's sitting at just under 5GB, but I don't have many players myself & I use a memory trimmer app that runs every so often to keep it down.

[sturdy pilot]

Русский встудию

Молодцы

[humble thicket]

lol empty i aldread see 6-6.5GB

[ornate raptor]

I am at 11.4 on start-up with no players connected.

[sturdy pilot]

что за бред?

Where is the update to unofficial servers?

[humble thicket]

What platform are u using? cpu? ram?

[devout lark]

Where is the update to unofficial servers? @proven prawn@zealous aurora@brave summit@stark warren

[sturdy pilot]

Looks like we'll have to connect all the YouTubers who have unofficial servers.

[ornate raptor]

Its an HP ProLiant 380G8p G8. Dual Xeon E5-2690v2 Procs, 64GB RAM, SSD OS and SSD game drives.

[sturdy pilot]

@proven prawn@zealous aurora@brave summit@stark warrenyou sell a crude game for $40, but there are no updates and optimizations for all servers. What kind of developers are you?

[wise kindle]

Go to #general chat please. This chat is to help owners with setup issues.

[humble thicket]

I'm using 7900X / 128Go DDR5 6000 / 2To Nvme Gen 5, maybe server files are optimised for new system.

[hearty laurel]

All but Jesse are on DND, so they won't get the pings & I don't think repeatedly pinging them is gonna get us anywhere >.>

[fleet coral]

Looks like there is no ETA on svartalheim

[ornate raptor]

Might be the case. I am not too upset about it yet. As we get towards 12 and 13 maps and needing 300GB ram I might be a tad annoyed.

[wise kindle]

Im hearing we wont see any other maps on Nitrado till SE comes out. So we are stuck with Island for a bit.

[fleet coral]

I see thanks, heard that as well

I heard SE won’t come in December either.

I hope nitrado gets cluster working once they get it working

[humble thicket]

i hope my 128go should be ebought for all DLC

[ornate raptor]

I know my 64 wont be

[humble thicket]

I think with futur optimisation patch maybe we can get 8-10Go per map so 12x10Go :p

[ornate raptor]

well there are 12 maps in ASE plus at least one planned additional for ASA, so 130ish maybe? If they can get the server side memory down to ASE levels that would be awesome.

[robust junco]

So after ark patched on GeForce now and I restarted my server and let it update all of a sudden my ovi is picking up eggs

No idea why it wasn't for the past week

Ovi raptors can still be trapped in a cage or a 1x1 of railing right because the only thing I can think of is it was glitched out of its trap when I relogged

[pure plover]

Current server version for self hosting is still stuck at 26.11 for everyone correct? Wanna make sure I'm not the only one

[robust junco]

Yes

[pure plover]

sadge I want those optimzation updates

[viral viper]

bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True Does anyone know how to make this work ? Ive entered it everywhere possible and no change within the server and yes im still stuck on 26.11 says its up to date @pure plover

[robust junco]

Pretty sure that doesn't work on asa

[viral viper]

does it not?

[robust junco]

I had to use a mod that makes it work

[viral viper]

Its a setting in the actual game smh thats so silly

[pure plover]

The new building system probably has a boolean to toggle it but idk what the new name would be

[viral viper]

and also why tf are dedis not getting these fucking updates bro

[robust junco]

Arkitect structures remastered has its own ini settings that seem to make it work at least with the structures from the mod

[pure plover]

Have you checked your client side ini for the in game setting to see if it just has a different name now?

[robust junco]

Yeah I agree and we should be able to edit the load order of our mods

[robust junco]

How do you do that the admin manager?

[viral viper]

I have and its the same but like the real question is why arent we getting these updates 💀

[pure plover]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows should have all your ini files for singleplayer

[viral viper]

Like are these updates just for officials lol? Are nitrado servers getting them or

[pure plover]

I'm not sure honestly either I self host so can't test

[viral viper]

ahh i use a dedi and it just tells me its up to date

[pure plover]

I'd guess official servers are probably getting the "asalive" branch which just had an update on steamdb but idk if nitrado hosted ones are also on that branch or the public branch like all self-hosted servers have to use

[viral viper]

just annoying like we need these optimization updates esp for the fucking memory leak issue

[hearty laurel]

There's a "nitradopc" just under public that has same update time as public. I've been assuming that's theirs.

[viral viper]

one server goes up to 20 gigs thats absolutely nuts

[fickle raven]

There is a nitradopc branch that I assume nitrado are using.

[pure plover]

Oh yeah i see that branch ty for pointing it out

and yeah looks like it is also still on ver 26.11 since it was also updated 7 days ago

[fickle raven]

The update 3 days ago was never pushed to the public branch either

[unborn sinew]

also wondering why Official are getting updates but not private servers

[pure plover]

"public" and "nitradopc" both were last updated 7 days ago on steamdb yeah

[lyric python]

'Public' was updated 3h ago

[fickle raven]

Not for the dedicated server app ID it wasn't

[robust junco]

Has anyone figured out how to change the load order of your mods on nitrado servers?

[pure plover]

does changing the order in the command line not change load order?

[sturdy pilot]

Let this nitrado go through the forest

[robust junco]

What command line

All there is in nitrado is a list of the mod IDs on the page you select mods and changing the order of them doesn't do anything

It always resets it to whatever order it wants.

[austere panther]

What mod are you using that requires first load order?

[robust junco]

Pure form or something like that

A mod that takes away the base cloth you wear when you spawn and replaced it with you know natural form

😆

[austere panther]

It replaces the pawn instead of just the mesh, but why...

That makes it non-stackable with a lot of other mods.

[robust junco]

I have no idea

I don't make mods lol

I even asked the creator why he didn't just make it a skin or change the base mesh but didn't really get much of a response

[glacial creek]

which of you hardware server owners are hearing voices right as arksa server crashes? this with global voice chat off

[robust junco]

Don't have that issue on nitrado but I think I have the voice chat volume off. I've heard of people having it happen on official.

[glacial creek]

ahh ok thanx for response ill let it sit for a while n see if others have had the issue. i have rendered it just wondering if others are having thier servers crashing because of it regardless global voice is off.

[wet timber]

Anyone elses Nitrado server just reset all their settings to default, and the server doesn't even appear on anyones game?

[bronze bronze]

voice isn't causing your server to crash, you're hearing everyones voice because the game is no longer sending the positions to the voice component so everyone hears voip in those small moments

[trim wadi]

Haha I heard the same voices even if I was solo on my server during the initial first few day crashes

[glacial creek]

thats not the same as a populated server with players i know thier voices, and being were on discord together testing it.

anywho.. i have code i wrote to control internet bandwith to prevent your server from ddos'ing itself to cause fatal error.

[trail magnet]

Does anyone know what to change to get the dino imprint to be 100% with one imprint? Everytime I imprint it's 1%.

[pure plover]

In Game.ini set BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=25
Any value above 25 shouldn't do anything differently as the lowest percentage per imprint is Gigas with 4%, so increasing it by a factor of 25 should make all tames get max imprint off of a single imprint interaction

[trail magnet]

Thankyou!

[rugged hemlock]

Anyone know how to force update a server to get it on the newer releases?

[pure plover]

latest release available to the public is still 26.11

[rugged hemlock]

I have the desync the game is unplayable ughhhhhhh

[oak mulch]

Does having the nobattleye command in your bath file mean people can cheat?

bat file*

[snow summit]

ppl can cheat regardless batlle eye was bypassed like 5+ years ago sucks to see them using it still

[left vine]

ive tried as much as 10000 im still only getting 4 percent per imprint, i just dont understand

[versed granite]

Anyone else has like mini rubberbands since last update?

[left vine]

patch notes says they fixed that

[versed granite]

For me it started it XD

[left vine]

oh no, i hope not.. im still waiting for the update to finish

[versed granite]

Its not like full rubberbanding. But like mini's Its anoying XD

[dense marsh]

Can you update yet? My steam cmd server is still .11

[pure plover]

Yeah the latest client update introduced a micro rubberbanding issue and the fix is implemented serverside but only on official servers for whatever reason

unofficial is still on the older build I'm not sure why it still hasn't been pushed to the public branch

[fervent siren]

yall think there’s a way to intercept the server connection and add like a middleware ip checker before the actual server login

i wanna add a layer of software that basically forces a steam account to have one ip be used for some time that way i can reduce account sharing on my server

[pure plover]

I think the server will dump ips and steam ids of anyone who attempts to connect somewhere (not sure where tho tbh) and you could maybe write some program to automate adding those to the server whitelist?

not entirely sure how you could go about writing something that's capable of doing that though

[pure plover]

what do you have your baby maturation multiplier set to?

[left vine]

i have baby mature speed set to 5

[native wave]

Was definitely getting some rubber banding while riding my new spino about the map...but that's the only place I noticed it. That server update sure would be nice now.

[pure plover]

I think it's also tied to that value as well as the imprint interval multiplier values so maybe try messing around with all of those to see if it is any better

[versed granite]

Anyone has the 26.23 Server update available for unofficial?

[opal osprey]

negative

[bronze bronze]

not released like the rest lol

[pure plover]

I expect we'll probably see it pushed to unofficial after xbox release comes, devs are probably getting that shit out asap since the console community can't chill out (not gonna get into discussion about it here, general is already a cesspool lol)

[loud sphinx]

are we getting any of these updates we're being pinged about @proven prawn or is it just bait?

[strong pasture]

so Unnoficials are 3 patches behind now?

[bronze bronze]

technically yeah, but apparently we are lucky about the 1st to because of the rubberbanding and other issues they had lol

[strong pasture]

yeah I must admit , even with 70 players on at its peak a lot of the performance issues officials seem to have that require the patches we are just not seeing but then I made sure the PC running the server and only the server has a 6 Core R5 3600 and 32GB ram and NVME drive not something nitrado could afford to do and make any profit lol. Most people self hosting wont be throwing up the servers on the absolute bare minimum of specs becuase they dont have a profit margin to look out for

[bronze bronze]

careful you will be lynched for using common sense 😛

[strong pasture]

The server peaks at around 14GB usage , I should be able to run 2 servers on that box when clustering (if) becomes available to self hosting. There is absolutely no way Nitrado is allowing the server to use what it wants I bet its all 6-8GB limited Virtuals

[bronze bronze]

apparently the new patches reduced it back to like 8 again

[olive sleet]

I definitely have that rubberbanding issue on my server :/ I assume its client-side as the issue began for me after the last game update

[strong pasture]

what's your upload speed ? I am seeing on average about 100kb/s per player

[olive sleet]

with only me on the server with 8 ping it is pretty severe rubber banding.
My upload is not great, only about 10MB/s but I haven't had this issue with 5 people on before now

[strong pasture]

for 5 people thats fine , and I misread the second part of it starting last patch

I must admit nobody has mentioned anything about rubber banding on mine. I wonder is anything hitting high usage ? ram, cpu etc

[pine lodge]

[strong pasture]

Is the server installed to a HDD, SSD or NVME SSD?

[pine lodge]

What is this

[raven wigeon]

hum... unofficials are still on 26.11????

[olive sleet]

5% CPU, 12GB RAM of 32GB, no disk usage. Convinced it's the Client and not the Server since yeah, Servers are still on 26.11 and I'm up-to-date on the Client

[strong pasture]

That is a point considering we are 3 patches behind now , bound to have some conflicts

[versed granite]

Ours is on 26.21 since last night. But now got severe rubberbanding.
Its a own hosted server. Not true Nitrado.

[raven wigeon]

@versed granite Yay, and it starts lol... glad i didn't updated!

servers were running so smooth and now they start breaking them!

[strong pasture]

Kernel32.dll has a request given to it by the game that required it to access something in Ram at the address given above (the 0x000 gibberish) but it could not access it so it got stuck and crashed. It happens , its not fatal just reload the game. These issues will calm down as more patches fixing the memory issues release.

[plush narwhal]

Anyone know what's going on with the unoffical server update, offi is on 16.23 and unoffi cant go past 16.11

[wanton imp]

Afaik they didn't publish the server files for the updates to unofficial dedicated servers yet (even pulled some back maybe)

Guess there are issues

[marble kernel]

Can we have an official statement about why we cannot get the patch for dedicated servers ? do we smell fish ?

[heavy trellis]

Can confirm my own server is stuck at 26.11

[snow thunder]

Honestly dedicate is probably so low on their priority list, we’d be lucky to have their attention for an official statement until a few months after ascended has released on both consoles

[marble kernel]

Screw them

[solemn canyon]

I assume, they test the patches on the official nitrado servers to get most likely errors before releasing an update to the normal unofficial branch ... seeing the errors on official over the last three ( not released to unofficial )patches, I would most likely thank them, that these updates were not released yet to us.
But going with the actual update ways, i think we will get shortly after everything is stable again an update for the unofficial servers 😉

furthermore it would be worse if they would "test" on unofficial servers before releasing the update to official 🙂

[pine lodge]

Thanks, does get annoying, i thought it was maybe my graphic settings but my graphics card should be able to handle it on high setting. So knowing i just need a patch is better to know

[valid dagger]

course, is not a hosted server, is hosted by client, fot that reason u have the last update

[random sorrel]

Have you noticed that dinos collect less material by farming?

[pine lodge]

Any news on the dlcs btw

[gleaming kite]

Try increasing paging file size on hdd yo have ! Reduced this error for me from 10 in play session to 0

[pine lodge]

Im not sure how to do that

I just searched it If it is to do with ram, i do have 64gb ram 🤣

[frail atlas]

Our server a steam app id update this morning unoffical and since then the game version is still 26.11 but we now also have the micro stutters/rubber banding did this happen to anyone else?

[loud sphinx]

i guess the changed expectations for networking are now baked into the client but since we didn't get the server update: tough luck

[frail atlas]

Thats rough we just have to wait then

[ruby merlin]

wouldnt be suprised us not getting these patches isnt a deal with nintrado to push down the performance of unofficial until they are stable to pull in more money why hire their servers when u can run a dedi cheaper and more efficiant

but i gurentee them bug reports came from unofficial server owners who have timwe to diosect the logs and error report

[mental jewel]

No need for conspiracy theories.

One of the patches we missed had extra debugging turned on. That’s not something we want on our servers.

[ruby merlin]

to be 3 patches out now somethjing smells off

not a concpiracy theory lol just an opinion and me poking fun

[mental jewel]

And unless it changed overnight the Nitrado unofficial servers branch was still at the same version as the public branch yesterday.

[ruby merlin]

nope if u looked there branch changed yesterday

they got 2 in one

[valid dagger]

true

[ruby merlin]

did you use the clamp setting in ini and increase the health of the resources

mine farm more then i can

[valid dagger]

I dont change that config. I use vanila. And yea, I have the feeling that the dinos are farming less now

[lucid haven]

If you look at ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server on SteamDB, the last update was the 7th november for the Public branch.... the rest is behind a password

But if we can avoid the rubberbanding the last update have given everywhere els, i'm happy enough to wait haha

[wanton imp]

Ye, at this point I'd much rather have them publish stable improvements, more so to the client than server but there's much work to be done in both
Crashes and general performance already spoil the experience more than enough, don't need to add risky rubber banding issues on top XD

[opal osprey]

99 little bugs on the wall, 99 little bugs, take one down, patch it around, 108 little bugs on the wall

[ruby merlin]

rate multiplier seems a little off recalculate

[stuck creek]

Why aren't servers being updated?

[cobalt idol]

Why the fuck we so not have access to latest 2 server updates?

[stuck creek]

I don't know why wildcard is behaving like this, so fucking stupid

[cobalt idol]

What a lack of responsibility!

[bronze bronze]

you don't want them

be thankful they are saving you from the official issues lol

[cobalt idol]

Official issues? You mean general issues! 2 weeks to solve simple things. most part of the updates are useless. are we dealing with really professional devs? seems not.

[summer venture]

I feel like they're holding off on a lot of patches for after the certs go through and the games launch for everyone to be up to date. Wouldn't doubt that they have a big update waiting for all systems.

[olive sleet]

Jesus you guys are hostile.
Servers and Clients were far more unstable at launch. the updates we've gotten so far have drastically increased stability and performance. That isn't to say it still needs work, of course it does, but the workload they have on their back right now is crazy.

• They have to sort all the Official Server issues
• They have to sort Singleplayer issues
• Dedicated Server issues
• Generally improve performance
  Whilst they're trying their best to get the Console released sorted and through Microsoft and Sony.
  To call them useless is purely an insult to the devs. Hate a company all you want, not the people who haven't done anything wrong.

[ruby merlin]

man i cant think how crazy this channel will be over the holiday season when they take a break

tbh unofficial doesnt make them money and wont reaslly be a priority for any company we lucky we got what we did

[nova axle]

Me and some buddy are thinking about renting a server but non of us have ever done it I know you can change the setting in the initial files but none of us know what to change everything to .. we want it to where raising dinos takes a day or 2 and taming take like 10 mins tops .. alittle xp boost to stats but nothing to crazy we all work full time and don't want to have to wait days raising dinos.. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share the ini files with me

[ruby merlin]

get beacon for ark its a great tool for first timers

just point it to where your ini files are and if u hover over an option it will give an explanation

easy to deploy updates so tinkering to get them to your liking is straight foward

[stuck creek]

Hard copium.

Seeing unofficial servers being left behind is just a massive disrespect to everyone who bought their game

I don't give a fuck about what they are doing, unofficial are one week behind in critical stability updates, showing they actually don't care about players outside of their servers

[olive sleet]

It's been a few days since an update to Unofficial Dedicated servers. Do you really think we've been abandoned and forgotten because they're extremly busy right now?
There are issues in the current versions of Official Servers that they obviously want to sort out before pushing to us.

They obviously do care about players outside of their servers or they would have never gone back on the DRM, nor updated the tool ever since launch at all.

[ruby merlin]

this also trying to get it released and stable on xbox and ps5 has to be top priority right now they need the revenue to hit target

[wise kindle]

I dont want these updates till they are stable so Im happy to wait. Let the officials ride that roller coaster.

[celest halo]

We get to ride half the roller coaster, client is updated to everyone.

[wise kindle]

Im ok with this. No touchy my map.

[ruby merlin]

no spawn radius for resources vanilla is 12 foundations length wise right is that working for u guys it seems to ignore this rule on mine

[olive sleet]

Sounds right for my server. There is currently an issue where trees, foliage and rocks appear to respawn very close/inside structures when logging in, but it disappears after a few seconds.

[patent drum]

Anyone running nitrado and still stuck at 26.11? I'm trying to restart the server to update but it's not updating.

[olive sleet]

All Unofficial servers are at 26.11 currently.

[lucid haven]

The Nitrado "Unofficial" is higher than 26.11.

The game is playable, yes it have issues here and there, but they are working on it.
Just remember when ASE was in EA state 🙂 This is a next gen engine they pused it to, so ofc we will have to wait some time for a propper pulished game.

[timber stirrup]

soo, how do you restore a tribute terminal at an obby that was demolished? and wtf can you do that to begin with?

[olive sleet]

I've only seen Obelisk terminals destroyed with a DestroyMyTarget admin command or an Admin Gun set to Kill.
As for restoring it, all I can think of is rolling-back a save.

[timber stirrup]

yeah, that's what i'm pretty sure happened.

[solemn zephyr]

Server restart or spawn one in

cheat spawnactor "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Structures/TributeTerminal_Blue.TributeTerminal_Blue'" 160 0 0

[timber stirrup]

by restart do you mean reset to day 1 wipe style?

[olive sleet]

Restart = Shut Down, Start Up
Turn it Off and On again lol

[timber stirrup]

i'll try it again. it didn't appear to be working.

yeah, sadly that does not work. guess it's a spawn in

[random sorrel]

Any command to solve resource collection with dino for my server?

[timber stirrup]

can you elaborate?

[sick tundra]

I know ASA is the focus now, but when I start each map for my ASE cluster, they all say server is attempting to run new years event, but I have it set to no events. Does not affect startup or game play at all, just curious if anyone else has seen this.

[olive sleet]

To my knowledge this is normal. Doesn't affect anything gameplay-wise

[stiff swift]

Sooooooooon

[sick tundra]

Thank you.

[lapis pine]

Anyone know if there’s an .ini fix that will allow the tek suit to fly at Mach Jesus? Works on single player but not on unofficial. All tek suit pieces function as intended except when trying to fly fast in the air

[rose vine]

Whole day's work and the unofficials are still at 26.11. Nice 🙂

[severe pawn]

The achatina paste did not achieve a stack of 1000. Is the code in ASA the same? PrimalItemResource_SnailPaste_C

[viscid estuary]

yeah, no updates for unofficial so far

[brave igloo]

I'm having some trouble setting up a dedicated server on a win10 vm on ubuntu server. Ports are definitely forwarded, tested with a python program and canyouseeme. I'm running it on 0.0.0.0 (tried localhost & local ip), port 27015, query port 27016. Trying to find the game in Steam Game Servers says "Did not find any servers at that address". Any ideas?

[vivid spindle]

everyone still having to enter the admin code to clear the foggy water and tek terminal area ?

i cant find another way to clear it up for my server.

[ruby merlin]

looks like one beaver dam spawnming only ion one spot at a time checked everyday never more then 1

its starting to look even more like they just ported the code from UE4 to UE5 but it puked the patches

[celest halo]

Game runs on udp so canyouseeme won't see it that only checks tcp, game uses EOS and not steams network so there is no query port and it won't show in the steam server list

[celest halo]

Lol some of it looks like they used the original code and not the patched stuff

[ruby merlin]

more then likely used an AI to do a lot of it they diid do it rather quickly looking at time frame from announcement

you running a dedi or a nitrado

you have many users

see i have mine locked and im only one on so mine runs smooth been up over 10 days except when i have rebooted to change some ini

never had a crash

i should open it up and invite a bunch see what happens

[brave igloo]

How do I join the server then? 😄

[celest halo]

In game server list

[ruby merlin]

im running 19 mods stable

seems its an issue with volume of players

i never go above 5gb ram usage and i took 64gb for my dedi just because i heard memory leaks

[celest halo]

I have 2 players on mine no memory leak and no crashes

[ruby merlin]

so must be a user thing

[celest halo]

I do sit around 8gb to 10gb of ram usage

With 1 mod

[ruby merlin]

not bad when u think of the users

[celest halo]

Nice

[ruby merlin]

whats the server ping like

[vivid spindle]

too bad there are not ark asa developers that will check your unofficial server and give you feedback on your servers code...

[celest halo]

I say masking by the external program freeing ram it thinks server is not using anymore

[ruby merlin]

whats the server ping sitting at

i have a funny feeling the leak might be between the client and the server communicating

[vivid spindle]

i understand, yall are doing some amazing work with bugs and patches

[celest halo]

Servers probably not using the ram so I'd don't crash when it disappears, problem is server is not releasing it when it's done with it

[ruby merlin]

the dedi a new dedi or is it running an old processor

[celest halo]

Mines on an old Xeon from like 2012 lol

[ruby merlin]

ddr3 ram

[native wave]

That's what mine is running on...ddr3

[celest halo]

Yeah pc3-10600R ECC

[ruby merlin]

if so thats most likely the cause of higher ram usage

plus the processor might be struggling a little

[mental jewel]

I was sitting at 10 before the last patch, but I am seeing results similar to yours now. Much more reasonable.

I run a low pop server though

[celest halo]

Mine only using around 8gb right now

[native wave]

Mine is at about 12GB with 4 players

[ruby merlin]

yes there is a huge correlation between 10 users and 20 by the looks of things

[celest halo]

[gaunt vortex]

i just tried updating, still on 26.11

[native wave]

Yeah definitely want to upgrade storage

[woven linden]

For the memory leak it could be a combination of things. Could be number of players, could be a specific mod or setting or could be a specific thing the players are doing. I haven't hit it yet as it's only my daughter and I playing on a server. If I get a leak I'll see about getting a memory dump and then figuring out what is leaking and reporting it.

If there are any devs here with servers reproducing this issue you should be able to get a dump and analyze it, either using something like WinDbg or Visual Studio. Luckily for us WC is giving us the symbol/pdb files so you can get a lot better information for figuring out what's leaking.

Again, if I can repro this I'll try to get the data to WC so they can fix it. Assuming they don't already have the data.

And by "devs" I mean non WC devs who know what I'm talking about. LOL Or even someone with a bit more technical expertise with code.

[celest halo]

I got lucky, mine came with the 8 SAS drives

[ruby merlin]

unrelated note i miss s+ structures auto doors and gates

[native wave]

The super structures dev is working on bringing it to ASA to make up for the lack of some s+ stuff on ASA

Super structures was a a spinoff from s+ when he took a break

[ruby merlin]

i hope so some of the functions saved so much time and effort

[frigid badger]

So... anyone know when we're supposed to get the updates that have been pushed to official servers? Still sitting at 26.11...

[tiny finch]

when is an update past 26.11 hit unofficial servers?

official is on 26.23 now.

[frigid badger]

Hoping one of these patches fixes the black hole at 50/50 that keeps taking half of people's bases and random creatures.

[native wave]

No idea when

[opal osprey]

Soon™ (meaning anytime between now and after it happens)

[opal osprey]

yeah, thats the biggest issue we're having on our server

[frigid badger]

It's ridiculous.

We've had players quit because of it now -.-

[tiny finch]

I both hate and laughed at how accurate this is. Well played xD

[opal osprey]

had an Alpha meg and a few Basi's spawn up in the sky at 50,50 along with about 200 Onycs yesterday, that was fun

[torpid sinew]

I remember the old 0,0 flying invisible turrets killing everyone lol

[opal osprey]

i do what i can... and i've been there before lol

[native wave]

Haven't seen the 50/50 issue on my server yet

[frigid badger]

We have it every crash/

[tiny finch]

I've seen one server in the list still running 26.8 no idea why xD

[frigid badger]

Every single crash. It's insane.

[opal osprey]

our server hasn't ever crashed, but it happens every restart

[frigid badger]

Ours crashes often, but it's also a massvely populated server so we kind of expected it.

^

[opal osprey]

yeah, we have like 6 people on ours

[frigid badger]

We average 50-100 people on average lol.

^

[native wave]

Mine isn't crashing. But I also only have 4 people. Have a Daily restart setup

[frigid badger]

Our server owner is the one that pointed out the issue with rally points causing the crashes and provided the evidence to WC

and yet with the new info on ram leaks he's given them... crickets

so at this point we're just hoping, i guess lol.

We can't even make it to the restart. Nitrado just keeps turning off the server when the ram usage spikes, without warning or a worldsave.

[native wave]

Only have 1 mod, though soon adding a second.

[woven linden]

Well, that sucks. At least getting feedback that they got the info would be nice.

[frigid badger]

Yeah, nothing yet so far on the data he's given them for the ram issues

[native wave]

My situation is different...so giving information on why it might be different

[woven linden]

Has he given them crash dumps or just letting them know it's happening?

[frigid badger]

We're swithing off of Nitrado soon to see if we can solve any of our issues cause about half of our 'crashes' is literally just nitrado stopping the server for no apparent reason.

[woven linden]

Oh, not self hosted, getting crash dumps I'm not sure is possible.

[frigid badger]

He's given crash dumps as well as information on what he thinks might be causing it (i'm not tech-y enough to understand it)

[tiny finch]

Do the Devs ever look at/reply here, like could they offer an update on why we don't have the updates? haha

[opal osprey]

yeah, i'm moving our server onto a self hosted solution shortly, just doing some final testing

[frigid badger]

Yep

@opal osprey Yeah, we were hoping to wait for a linux version but... not worth the wait.

[opal osprey]

same, i'd greatly prefer a linux VM for less footprint

[frigid badger]

In good news i suppose, our ase servers are running beautifully! xD

[opal osprey]

lol

the issues we had with ours were self-induced

[native wave]

Nitrado definitely isn't the only host...just the only one that will setup the ASA server for you and rent you the server. I think you'll have better luck on a different host but it's more work to get it running.

[celest halo]

Same for now mine is in a windows VM, will move it to Linux if they release the Linux binaries

[frigid badger]

We self host our ase servers, and had planned on self hosting asa as well

[tiny finch]

what kinda VM spec is needed for self hosting?

[native wave]

You can run it with proton....that's how mine is running on ubuntu

[tiny finch]

anyone able to throw out or dm some tips for someone considering it?

[severe pawn]

The achatina paste did not achieve a stack of 1000. Is the code in ASA the same? PrimalItemResource_SnailPaste_C

[celest halo]

Yeah I didn't want to deal with proton lol, had a win10 VM installed and not running on my box so was just easier to start that and install ark

[native wave]

Might be broken like mutton is now

[severe pawn]

👍 ty

[tough saffron]

cant wait 🤓

[opal osprey]

i was able to get mutton to work, stacks up to 500 now using this
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

haven't tried the paste, i'll look into that today

[final eagle]

Anyone know what the BP for the crates bosses drop? trying to override them but can't find the BP names online.

[native wave]

Cool guess I'll give that a try

[orchid knot]

Anybody else having the issue with your server even after running the app_update validate it stays at 26.11?

[heavy trellis]

All unofficials are on 26.11 at the moment. They haven't pushed the updates out for us yet.

[orchid knot]

oh okay good to know ty

[celest halo]

We don't get to play with the new updates till after official breaks them 🤣

[grave saffron]

theyll be broke anyway, at least I get to play a few hours tonight without new issues then!

[upper furnace]

Any active chill servers with rp/pvp? Or pve? Dm me pls

[burnt cave]

is there no way to up the crafting queue amount for the industrial cooker? crafting 10 kibble at a time is tedious

and you can't do autocraft cause then it just makes dyes

[violet tide]

Am I missing something or have none of the past 3 server releases been pushed to steam yet?

[burnt cave]

you are not missing anything

[violet tide]

ok, thanks

[burnt cave]

nitrado hasn't pushed anything out past 26.11

[tough saffron]

geez

[sullen heath]

nitrado doesnt develope server software....

[burnt cave]

I never said they did? they are hosting provider and haven't pushed out the latest code to any of their servers so my comment was to reflect that WC hasn't released that server code to them either

[sullen heath]

i guess i missread

was thinking "pushed out" a patch somehow 😄

[burnt cave]

hahah true enough.....

[crisp adder]

Quick question, what settings should I use to get 100 percent imprinting?

[peak sapphire]

On ASE it was: DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossSpider_Easy_C
DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossSpider_Medium_C
DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossSpider_Hard_C

DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossGorilla_Easy_C
DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossGorilla_Medium_C
DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossGorilla_Hard_C

DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossDragon_Easy_C
DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossDragon_Medium_C
DinoDropInventoryComponent_BossDragon_Hard_C

[solemn zephyr]

Not the same anymore as a drop spawns when you complete it, you don't access the bosses inventory

[peak sapphire]

Oof

[ashen burrow]

I just had a twin baby iguano float to my ceiling on birth, anyone have any experience with this?

[past dust]

Why is the latest version for servers 26.23 but unofficial servers can only update to 26.11?

[fierce timber]

4 days since the last update + two more newer updates since then, but still nothing has been updated/sent out to the Unofficial servers. Yikes.

[past dust]

Exactly! And many of the updates deal with memory usage. I wonder if they don’t want to reduce their min package due to better performance?

[lean lotus]

So uh anyone know how I can kill my player from the server console? I got stuck in a pit

[celest halo]

Hover over your implant for 5sec then right click and respawn

[lean lotus]

thanks lol

[fierce timber]

Well, after 4 days Nitrado finally has an announcement at the the top of the server browser control panel, lol. Talk about delayed.

"Dear customers,

We are aware of the newest update for the servers, rest assured that the Nitrado team is collaborating to make this content available in all of our servers as soon as possible.

At the moment, your server connection should not be affected by this. If this is not the case, please contact support.

Best Regards, the Nitrado Team"

[stuck creek]

Update unofficial when?

A word about the reason at least?

[fierce timber]

Whenever Nitrado feels like it, apparently. No details given whatsoever as per usual.

Could be later today, could be next week. No way of knowing.

[upper furnace]

Any active chill servers with rp/pvp? Or pve? Dm me pls

[past dust]

Because better management means less resources. Means Nitrado can’t justify requiring min 20 seat server. That means less money per server.

[fierce timber]

I doubt it will be lowered more than 2 slots potentially from the current updates if it even does at all.

[celest halo]

It not even them WC has not updated unofficial branches in 8 days

[fierce timber]

Unfortunately, I feel like 20 slots minimum will be the final number until Nitrado loses its exclusivity in 3 years and can't price gouge people anymore due to other providers being able to provide the same services but for less.

[fierce timber]

I've seen the Unofficial Steam DB get updated countless times since the last patch for unofficial, and it always correlated to a new unofficial server update prior to being stuck on 26.11.

[celest halo]

 nitradopc        12643734    8 days ago``` shows 8 days ago, live branch just got one like 6min ago

[nimble talon]

Gotta love those patch notes that are useless for us

[celest halo]

they did betas for unofficial 2 hours ago so hopefully we see something soon

[final eagle]

Anyone found a fix for DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG error or WC hasn't fixed this as yet.... wayy to common especially when accessing inventory

[fierce timber]

What are your graphics settings on

[final eagle]

HIgh - RTX (DLSS Quality + FG) ON

I have a 4070

Tried on medium and with DLSS and FG off still occurs same frequency

[fierce timber]

That tells me nothing

I need exact setting values/what tier

So like, Effects quality: is it low or epic

I've heard people having issues with CTD/error code due to certain graphic settings, and have also had similar issues when changing stuff in-game or at certain timeframes.

[stuck creek]

no matter what you have fps are trash

[ruby merlin]

turn off RTX

[stuck creek]

also nice yet another patch neglected to unofficial servers

[final eagle]

Doesn't change the result

[ruby merlin]

it did for me hmmm

im running a 4090 and only issue i had was with rtx on

[final eagle]

Res: 1440p
Graphics preset = High
Advanced Graphics = High
View Distance = High
Textures = Epic
Post Processing = Epic
General Shadows = High
Global Illumination Quality Epic
Effects Quality = High
Foliage Quality = Epic

I have tried this on Default LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, EPIC settings With RTX ON AND OFF Still a crash every like 40minutes - 3 hours sometimes it'll happen literally every 3 minutes

[fierce timber]

How much RAM

[final eagle]

32GB.

[stuck creek]

As I said, it doesn't matter what graphics settings you are running, the game has massive performance issues

[final eagle]

i5 13600k

[fierce timber]

Turn down foliage/effects to low

Game roughly looks the same from what I can tell without the major draw they take. Also turn off interactive water/foliage (pretty big fps sink for only seeing like 5% of the interactions or less).

[topaz cradle]

For real, what's with all the delays for us

[fierce timber]

I mean, I get 70fps on average outside of swamp areas with my custom settings. But everybody has different parts, specs, drivers, etc.

[stuck creek]

They just hate their playerbase

[fierce timber]

Could be a huge combination of things

[stuck creek]

What pisses me off so much is their silence in this

[wanton imp]

FG just causes my game to crash within the next 10 mins or so, keeping it off it will still crash but far less frequent

[orchid coral]

been wondering that myself. I think the last patch was around the 7th. I can't find any information about it

[final eagle]

Does not change regardless if on and off, my friends (RTX 3080) also have the same issues especially one friend who has a 3080, i7 13700k 32gb ram he gets it waayyyy more than I do

[fierce timber]

My Steam is getting the client updates just fine. Just the dediciated unofficial server that's being shafted currently, sadly.

[celest halo]

Last was 8 days ago

[final eagle]

I

[fierce timber]

Do you use any form of overclocking on memory/core clock?

[final eagle]

I'll try this and let you know

[fierce timber]

I mean, it'll mainly just make your system use way less resources

[final eagle]

Nope everything is default and I have LP 1 and 2 set to stock.

[fierce timber]

If it's encountering memory cap/memory issues

[frigid badger]

unofficial patch when

[final eagle]

AKA not what the motherboard manufactures do and kick

[final eagle]

I'd like to know this as well my server still sitting on 26.11

[frigid badger]

Yeah lol

It's been like 8 days

[fierce timber]

Because I've had very few crashes outside of the first 2-3 days of ASA with these new patches/changes/fixes/etc. If I change Effects to High/Epic from low, or vice versa, I would eventually 100% get a CTD/error code.

I honestly can't tell the difference on 1440p with effects being on either setting, but obviously low gives much better fps. Foliage is the ground clutter slider from ASE, more or less.

So I just have it to low, which is still far more than ASE had for minimum value.

Without the ground looking completely empty/barren/bland

[final eagle]

I know DXGI error is a UE5 5.2 common error but many developers were able to fix it on the back end.

[fierce timber]

Who was it that said opening their inventory was causing crashes?

Was that you too or somebody else?

[celest halo]

Looks like they did an update for the client also (don't see a patch note for that lol)

[lyric python]

Release the damn updateeeeeeeee(s)

[fierce timber]

Allegedly for some people, turning off Menu Transitions in the settings fixed the issue for the inventory crashing. But it didn't work for everybody, so no guarantee.

[final eagle]

Wonder where that is

nvm

[fierce timber]

I always have it off by default because I hate the wasted time on going through all the inventories of things since I spam/check stuf a lot of the time.

I also force ASA to run max performance + specifically select my GPU (3080 Ti) in Nvidia Control Panel for ASA itself.

[frigid badger]

Reducing global illumination and disabling menu transitions increased my fps a ton

[fierce timber]

Yeah, global Illumination takes a ton of resources

[frigid badger]

I went from 15-20fps to 60-90

Currently have it set to medium and it still looks really good

[merry thorn]

would you rather they spend their hours fixing the game or holding your hand and telling you it'll all be ok? the game is literally early access, so issues are expected.

[frigid badger]

But I can move lol

[fierce timber]

Yeah, I'm low for effects/foliage, high for everything else except anti-aliasing, and anti-aliasing at epic.

[frigid badger]

They could literally just release the patches for unofficial too...

[fierce timber]

I get around 70-80 in normal areas outside of swamp/lots of water reflections areas at high Global Illumination

If I turn GI to medium, I get a pretty steady 80 fps when capped to 80

[static moat]

Woo. Another update that won't be fucking available to Server Owners.

[merry thorn]

you would have liked the rubber banding issues from last night? let official be the guinea pig

[stuck creek]

idgaf about issues being expected, i do give a fuck about why they arent updating unofficials too and not saying anything about it.

[patent grove]

Use a whip or just punch and aim at the floor just under them. It will bring them back down. Its a visual bug but they are still there, may notice you get interference when walking in the area underneath them

[stuck creek]

we paid the game, why arent we getting the same updates.

[fierce timber]

This is at 1440p resolution. 80 on resolution slider, not 100. 100 compared to 80 is barely noticeable with side-by-side screenshots, so I just leave it at 80 for the fps increase + use Nvidia sharpening at 25-33% to get crisper image without the big fps dip from 100 resolution.

[native wave]

I had rubberbanding on my server after the client update last night. I'd like if we could be brought up to the same level to prevent that...and also get the additional updates they have applied to gameplay

[azure portal]

Yeah it's pretty weird that the public depot hasn't been updated in 8 days

[stuck creek]

set the game slider to 100 and type r.ScreenPercentage to 80

its TSR, Unreal engine 5 built in upscaler

[fierce timber]

Explain what that does for me

[stuck creek]

superb quality compared to DLSS or FSR, which is not even in game yet

[fierce timber]

What?

I have DLSS on, but super-resolution off. SR is what makes the image blurrier for me/less crisp.

Without DLSS, my fps is halved almost.

[final eagle]

annnnnd inventory crash 🙃

[fierce timber]

Is it vanilla? No mods?

[final eagle]

SP yes

Server side no, both same crash.

It 100% imo of course is the island. I also have a background dedicated svartelheim session as well and haven't had a single crash, this is giving me The Center vibes all over again

[fierce timber]

Yeah, not really sure. I had inventory crashes within first 2-3 days of ASA launch, but nothing since. Only crashes I've had since are when tabbing to different program when loading into game/server, or when switching certain graphical settings to higher value.

[shy cipher]

did this new update get released for unofficials? or are we now 4 updates behind?

[fierce timber]

4 behind currently

[shy cipher]

#toxic

[native wave]

Hey @proven prawn you guys forgetting unofficial? 8 days since any update and now we're missing bug fixes we could use

[severe plank]

I have found where the PC players hide.

[raven wigeon]

The devs should post “minor update for OFFICIAL servers” coz for what i see private servers are being left out again just like the old ASE lol

[shy cipher]

they are establishing the gap between official build and unofficial build so nitrado can get more subscriptions ofr servers just to stay uptodate

[native wave]

actually starting my breeding....so breeding range would be useful

[raven wigeon]

The range of the feeding sucks completely

[native wave]

nitrado hasn't gotten an update yet....it's last update was 8 days ago too

[marble kernel]

Still no update for us ????? r u fu..in kidding me ?

[wise kindle]

Im just like this 🍿 watching officials burn. Im ok waiting for updates that are worth sharing.

[raven wigeon]

Yeah but nitrado sucks and they dont give a sh@& about the buyers lol

[severe plank]

They are more busy with releasing the game on Xbox. I hope..

[marble kernel]

They release it for officials so why not for us too ?

[severe plank]

Wait, they didn't release it for unofficial?

[marble kernel]

yep

[celest halo]

Because we the stepkids they don't care about

[severe plank]

Ok I see the bullshit now.

It's literally copy and paste.

[raven wigeon]

Private servers are still on 26.11

[shy cipher]

youd seem to think

but we are still on 26.11 while official is nice and toasty on 26.23

correction 26.25

[celest halo]

They on .25 now 🤣

[native wave]

I don't give a crap about what official is on....I give a crap about missing bug fixes

[celest halo]

Didn't you know the bugs where only on official servers

[shy cipher]

everyone say this next line... in the tone of sponge bob... "4 updates later...."

[knotty perch]

Does someone know what are the OverrideOfficialDifficulty and DifficultyOffset on official servers? We have strange loot in supply crate, tools with 400%+ and saddle way above 124 armor. We didn't increase the supplycratemultiplier

[native wave]

difficulty on official is 5.0

[solemn zephyr]

And offset of 1.

Sounds like you may have single player settings not set to false.

[knotty perch]

oh, im gonna check now

[native wave]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty is all you need to set...I have mine set to 6.0 for 180 max level

[knotty perch]

bUseSingleplayerSettings=false so no it seems to be okay on that front

me and my friends just want 150 dinos and supply caret by default to 124 for saddles and weapons/tools to 298% max

[lofty sedge]

The difficulty level won't effect your supply drop loots. ASA has better loot in drops.

[fierce timber]

Loot in ASA is actually worth going for now, unlike ASE.

[native wave]

I'm using the default supply crate multiplier after messing with higher numbers...don't need higher with the loot in supply drops on ASA

[fierce timber]

Maybe it gets lessened slightly moving forward, who knows. But currently that's just how things are.

[knotty perch]

so it's normal to have these huge numbers now for loot drop?

[native wave]

yeah

[knotty perch]

how high is max for saddle & weapons now?

i saw hatchet with 408%, saddle with 200+ armor

isnt it too high? i mean espacially for saddles, 124+ armor is insane

[worn fractal]

sure you can find that but good luck finding a rex BP

[knotty perch]

we didnt find a ton of these high loots though, so it's still rare

[barren yoke]

Meanwhile, we stay here, having to restart every 2 hours due to RAM leak, setting an alarm in the early hours of the morning. Receiving complaints from players due to frequent interruptions and suffering from bugs caused by the difference in version between server <> client

[knotty perch]

so you have the official server experience but on private servers, yikes

[onyx geode]

I think it's intentional. They want to force players onto the official servers regardless of losses. There is no other explanation for such behaviour.

[vital shadow]

mine has been running smooth for the lat 8days

[brittle canyon]

@proven prawn @zealous aurora, any status on the timeline for when the public server branch will be updated?

Alternately, what is the process to be granted access to the asalive or unoff_beta branchs?

[knotty perch]

it would be a loss of money for them and nitrado since they have a monopoly contract with them

[vital shadow]

no need for restarts or anything

[barren yoke]

We made a comparison with ASE here and adjusted it until it was similar, as there were players taking 1000% BPs.
They are combining the improved drops with Lipleurodon. Note: Our item cap is 755% 🤡

[strong pasture]

plenty of ram available ?

[knotty perch]

dead lord...1k%....

[vital shadow]

24gigs

[onyx geode]

Let me guess: You have some tiny server with a handful of people on it.

[vital shadow]

for that vm

[barren yoke]

The tip I give is to block the tame and remove the lipleurodon spawn and adjust the drops to less than 1 and compare the quality

[knotty perch]

what's a lipleurodon?

[vital shadow]

wlp 22 ppl nowhere near full 70

[fierce timber]

Since going back onto the server I help manage after these past few updates, now that my client is updated and the server is not, the performance is closer to that of the first 2-3 days after launch and constant stuttering/rubberbanding, lol.

[barren yoke]

I wish it was an exaggeration, but really the combination of lipleuro + cave drop was generating these absurd BPs. F donations

[strong pasture]

aye seems to be very ram hungry BUT when allowed to have whatever it wants , smooth server

[fierce timber]

Devolving performance

[vital shadow]

i mean the esxi has almost 200gigs so i will just keep topping up

[barren yoke]

A neckless plesiosaur that has passive taming with 1 honey. When taming you get a 6h drop buff, making any drop you get close to increase the quality absurdly

[onyx geode]

Then you must be a supernatural being or have a patch level from the future. Because you clearly stand out from the crowd and don't seem to be experiencing problems that have clearly been fixed according to the patch notes. At least on the officials.

[scenic orchid]

I have my server capped at 32GB of memory. If it tries to go over it gets OOM reaped and restarted. But my server is just for a small group of friends.

[knotty perch]

is it an official thing or a mod?

[vital shadow]

waht hardware you running, is it rented or home hosted?

[onyx geode]

Root server

128GB RAM, i9, etc.

[vital shadow]

os?

[brittle canyon]

You know what... I wonder if I can patch the server files with the updated files from the client...

[onyx geode]

Windows Server 2022

[barren yoke]

The maps already start consuming 20gb of RAM, when it reaches 35gb it starts lagging, at 40gb it is a critical alert, 45gb runs because it will crash, 50gb becomes unplayable, crashes the server or the PC

[barren yoke]

Vanilla creature that has existed in the game for years but that no one remembers. Until now.

[olive pecan]

how? my server only uses 12gb/16gb

[vital shadow]

no virtualization?

[knotty perch]

good tip thx dude, didn't know of this one

[barren yoke]

ark_fandom_com/wiki/Liopleurodon

[onyx geode]

No

[strong pasture]

Different hardware , different results , not everybody will experience the problem

[barren yoke]

BOT won't let you send links, replace _ with . It's his wiki

[strong pasture]

SSD/NVME?

[vital shadow]

just strange, what i9?

[wise kindle]

Wiki.gg is a bit more up to date. The fandom site is archived.

[warm marten]

Well loot does scale based on difficulty. 1=100% 5=500% 10=1000% boost. Wish I could post pics

[vital shadow]

nvme

[strong pasture]

I am wondering if that is the difference, I am also NVME and its smooth as butter even capped

[knotty perch]

Do you have a recommandation to have ASE official settings for 150dinos and capped loot drop % to 124 saddles and 298% weapons by any chance?

[onyx geode]

I don't care. There are enough with this problem. And apparently a patch has also been released. All we want is an up-to-date patch for everyone. And no discussion about whether a few might not have the problem.

[vital shadow]

hows the core count?

[knotty perch]

i try to find it online by it's very confusing

[barren yoke]

Check that your players haven't discovered this glitch, here when we blocked it, there were dozens of complaints that they could no longer tame this beast. Players were already used to getting super-improved BPs, in addition to the game's CAP, and no one had notified the administration

[olive pecan]

+1

[strong pasture]

6, R5 3600

barely see anything above 10% utilisation

[vital shadow]

yea also ahveing 6 on the vm, and also amd.. do we see ppl with amd cpu's having problems?

[strong pasture]

literally my old gaming rig set up to host

maybe.. most servers are intel based so.....

[vital shadow]

mine is abit older 2990WX

[barren yoke]

I wasn't the one who configured it, but I know the value was 0.2x. I just don't know which of the settings

[knotty perch]

okay i'll try some config, thx dude for the infos

[barren yoke]

It is still possible to find 500% BPs in caves

[vital shadow]

@strong pasture do you also have rubberbanding issues? all my player reporting rubberbanding when strafing and tps is solid 30

[strong pasture]

Nobody has mentioned anything yet beyond a slight input lag , so whilst I seem to be affected, it's not unplayable just annoying

[vital shadow]

it would be nice if they wanted to drop that patch soon

[strong pasture]

@vital shadow but I do feel like NVME , and however much ram it wants to take is probably reducing the issue's impact

[vital shadow]

indeed

as long there only one map..

[strong pasture]

well there's that , I'm hoping cluster becomes available before SE launches and less ram usage, on the rare occasion the server has hit 100% ram NVME's speed covers its ass with the pagefiling but players do notice when that has happened. 32GB per map is an absolute nuts expectation

[vital shadow]

no wonder officials are dying

[strong pasture]

Aye , there's not a chance officials are running anything faster than SATA SSDs and if they are being used to pagefile... That servers going to be about as stable as a rowboat in a hurricane

[opal osprey]

looks like theres a new server patch... that likely won't hit unofficials for another week

[vital shadow]

or ever

we probaly gonna skip all these

[topaz cradle]

I think it came out 8 mins ago?

[vital shadow]

LOL

[outer quartz]

NA-PVE-TheIsland5246 is not official anymore and showing up in Unofficial.. I posted this in the PvE discussion and now it's gone from my list?.. Whats happening XD

[vital shadow]

true, its out

[topaz cradle]

lol

[strong pasture]

yay 26.25 server

[fierce timber]

Soon™️

[trim wadi]

our flyer movement speed increase is now working after the update

[frail crescent]

Omg we actually do exist for updates!

[frail crescent]

Wait what? Can anyone else confirm?

[solemn zephyr]

I'll test now and report back

[obtuse acorn]

Hopefully the decay timers are going to be fixed soon also.
I am getting tired from removing left bases and spam manually on our ORP enabled server....

[versed granite]

Do report back please 😄

[brittle canyon]

Updated to 26.25 and successfully running/loaded into server.

[frail ferry]

i just noticed this today, i am like how the hell are some of these still here.....

anyone know if rocket glitch and bee dupe glitch are fixed yet?

[native wave]

because nitrado forced them to launch by November...so they deprioritized some things

[solemn zephyr]

Nitrado hasn't updated me yet

[native wave]

I'm updating my server, but my client is also updating, hopefully I don't get the 2% installing bug again

[versed granite]

You having a Nitrado server or a own hosted server?

[brittle canyon]

My own hosted server.

[versed granite]

Thanks, I let our server host know 😄

[versed granite]

Hope you will get it soon to. Bet Nitrado will update there servers soon to

[brittle canyon]

Depends on how Nitrado handles their updates. I see the nitradopc branch has also been updated... so it should be avaiable to them as well now.

[native wave]

nitrado branch updated at the same time public did....so presumably it's going through qa and integration for nitrado's servers (oops, forgot, we're talking nitrado here)

[solemn zephyr]

Usually within 2 hours, they roll them out in batches across different data centers

[strong pasture]

Fixed mating range Christ its now 7+ foundations distance for yuties ....

[native wave]

I'd say it's been fixed then lol

gonna lead to bigger bases if you got more than one mating pair

[strong pasture]

yeah we literally just had to play "wheres the daddy" to turn it off

[vagrant ledge]

Can confirm you can now lvl flyer movement speed if you have it turned on!

[frail crescent]

Confirmed on

[wicked crescent]

anyone on xbox got the lothium discord code i cant find it and the join message aint loading lol

[native wave]

can't confirm because for the second day in a row, I get to reinstall the game again due to the 2% bug in patching the client @proven prawn
