[brittle canyon]

What kind of disk are you using? Have you done a recent defragment/ssdtrim?

[native wave]

m.2 SSD

[knotty perch]

Do we know what will happen where there are more maps available? Like do you need to pay another server full price to host a second map?

[brittle canyon]

Likely, yes. And they may even add on a "cluster" fee.

[native wave]

that was their plan before they released the server files to public

[sullen heath]

depends if you use Nitrado or not.....

[native wave]

nitrado, yeah you'll have to pay

[brittle canyon]

Self-hosted, or rent a server and install/run the game yourself on that, and it ends up cheaper.

[knotty perch]

gee it's becoming a game for rich people

[sullen heath]

becoming....?? ASE was exactly the same

[native wave]

There's always the official servers if you can't afford to host your own

[sullen heath]

and every other game.....

[native wave]

about $400 invested into running my own and couldn't be happier...and no monthly cost other than electric and internet which I'd be paying for anyway

I used to run a cluster on nitrado....so I know how expensive it can get.

[strong pasture]

Wonderful , players reporting Bookcase opening and searching is insta crashing them and tested myself to confirm ... great

[brittle canyon]

Yeah, inventory bugs not resolved yet.

[sullen heath]

hm... can not confirm

[wise kindle]

Bookcase? Modded or you mean bookshelf?

Sorry theres alot of mods with issues. If its modded that’s important.

[strong pasture]

Not actually sure if its case or shelf in game , but vanilla no mods

[stuck creek]

Finally we getting patch

[native wave]

yeah patch dropped an hour ago. may not be on nitrado yet

[sullen heath]

have you disabled "Menu Transitions"?

and HLOD

[strong pasture]

I am the host , I have no idea what most players settings are

[sullen heath]

well... are YOU crashing?

[vapid orchid]

Anyone knows which setting in the server files needs to be changed to make it possible to get 100% imprint?

[native wave]

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier

game.ini

[strong pasture]

I confirmed the crash is replicable , my settings are irrelevant as the host and not a player

[brittle canyon]

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=2
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.02
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=20
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=0.001
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=0.01
```  (Scale to what you need)

[sullen heath]

ok so you dont know....

[native wave]

mature and cuddle interval are the only ones that affect whether or not you can get to 100% imprinted

directly affect*

[strong pasture]

Is there a point to this line of questioning or did I just get unlucky?

[bleak ivy]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier is the best one to use.

its a direct multiplier for imprints

[sullen heath]

just saying disabling those settings solved the inventory crash for many players

[vapid orchid]

Didn't see that anywhere

[native wave]

ah yeah, haven't been using that one, even in ASE

[bleak ivy]

its not there by default, the wiki has it listed

[wise kindle]

Ah ok so its confirmed that disabling menu transitions can fix the issue. Thank you for that.

[strong pasture]

Then lead with that instead of "can not confirm"

[vapid orchid]

Why is it not there?

[native wave]

just not included in the ini file by default, like a lot of the settings

[bleak ivy]

they don't tend to put settings in by default, it'd be a lot of useless settings.

[vapid orchid]

Ok, so without that setting. Mature speed and cuddle interval. How did you guys set them so that idk 2 imprints are enough to get 100%

[strong pasture]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=10 in Game.ini makes everything smaller than quetz/rex 1 imprint 2 for the rest for 100% as long as BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1 is 1 it wont go higher than official stat boost

[native wave]

confirmed our flyer speed is working now

[bleak ivy]

without changing the BabyImprintAmountMultiplier, it'd be hard to allow everything to get to 100% in 1 or 2 imrpints. what is your mature rate?

[vapid orchid]

So just put that line in and the imprint should be easier?

[vapid orchid]

0.6 as of now

[bleak ivy]

your mature rate is slower then 1?

[white garnet]

did unofficial get 26.25 yet?

[vapid orchid]

Yea

[bleak ivy]

do you have singleplayer settings on?

[vapid orchid]

I think it is. The server isn't exactly mine a friend is hosting it but she isn't in here

[bleak ivy]

a rex would take 154 hours to grow up at 0.6 mature rate

okay, at 0.6 mature rates and singleplayer settings on. the lowest you can do for a rex with everything able to get to 100% is 6 imprints. bigger things need more and smaller things will need less.

cuddle interval being set to 0.52

[wise kindle]

Holy cow thats a long time

[strong pasture]

it just makes 1 imprint worth 10, so it depends on your imprint period multiplier and mature speed multiplier. I have my imprints period set to 0.0625 which is 30 mins intervals , and 24mature which makes dodos 35 mins raise gigas 11 hours

[bleak ivy]

0.6 means you are almost doubling the time it takes I have never seen somebody do that before 😂 a giga would take 467 hours

[wise kindle]

Yeah me either. Thats a heck of a long time for any raise.

[vapid orchid]

Ok. Well, we're still setting everything up so what would be the best setting to have a 3x boost on mature speed and get imprinting up to 100%? I'm a bit stupid understanding the values and how it affects the timers

[bleak ivy]

your mature rate is 3x not 0.6?

[final eagle]

Looks like unoffiical finally got the updates~

[wise kindle]

Single player settings messes with things. Gotta account for that.

[vapid orchid]

I want that as the end goal.

[white garnet]

yep i just updated my server to 26.25

[final eagle]

Same

[wise kindle]

How is it so far?

[bleak ivy]

is this a server or a non-dedi?

[white garnet]

literally just did it like 2 mins ago, ill let ya know 🤣

[vapid orchid]

dedicated self hosted

[wise kindle]

Ok ty 🙂 I cant see mine atm.

[wheat cypress]

hopefully a quick setup question regarding servers running on windows: Seems I can get the server to start and i have all the ports open and forwarded. I cannot seem to connect to my server which is fully open on the internal network. Im running server 2019 fully updated and with latest version. In the list I am not seeing my damn server.

[vapid orchid]

friend has her own hosting service

[bleak ivy]

I'd turn singleplayer settings off and just do each thing individually.

makes almost everything easier starting at 1 instead of the wild changes that it does.

[strong pasture]

Router ports forwarded as well? I made that mistake initially

[wheat cypress]

yeah

[wheat cypress]

yes, all forwarded

[vapid orchid]

singleplayer off. then Mature speed 3 and cuddle interval for 100%

[white garnet]

my server showed up right away and immediately im noticing that the microstutters that we were getting are gone, so thats a big plus already

[bleak ivy]

set the cuddle interval to 0.64.

[wise kindle]

Ohhh ok now im a little excited

[bleak ivy]

a rex will take 30 hours to grow with 6 imprints.

breeding is insane how long it takes

I will never get official peeps 😂

[ashen burrow]

I logged in and my baby has floated to the ceiling, how do I get it down?

ASA

[white garnet]

either just wait, or leave the area and come back. relogging can also work

[wise kindle]

Wait for the update, it should fix that. Or it’s supposed to anyway.

[wheat cypress]

I have these ports forwarded both udp and tcp: 7777,7778,27015,27016

[wise kindle]

Its also purely visual, re render it and it comes back

[native wave]

tell it to follow you and it will come down....though I had that happen to a bary of mine....and I hopped on to move it where I wanted. When I tried to hop off I spawned directly under it. After that I could not move and neither could my bary when I hopped back on. I had to teleport to the green obi to fix it

[strong pasture]

yeah thems the ones, Router and windows both forwarded. Cant think of any other reason why it wouldnt work

[wheat cypress]

are you sure? that doesnt make sense. how else would you connect to it on a windows server if the ports werent open?

[ashen burrow]

thank you

[ashen burrow]

thanks

[wheat cypress]

Ok, ill try just that since its an ASA server

[strong pasture]

having the other open if its not needed wouldnt stop connections however

[native wave]

sure would be nice if we had a query port....so we could check on the status of the server...get players online....you know..what we used to do in ASE.

[wheat cypress]

So with EOS why isnt my server checking in to query and be added to the list of avail servers

[native wave]

ok, that's the first mention I've seen that they had an API for querying information. Looking into it now

[wheat cypress]

does this mean that the query port does not need to be defined in the start bat file when starting the server up? Im trying to get people to be able to connect to my server

[stark path]

Anyone able to confirm if their servers have updated to the newest version? Mine seems to be stubbornly 26.11

[native wave]

nitrado or no? servers not on nitrado should be able to update. Don't know if nitrado has pushed it out to their servers yet

[stark path]

Yeah I'm on nitrado... For noooow lol

[white garnet]

lol it did not fix babies going to the moon, just hatched a few eggs and they all just floated up

[native wave]

definitely didn't fix it. had one of my bary's....which wasn't floating before....floating on login after the update

[wheat cypress]

ok gonna try that now. Just to confirm in the start.bat file, do sessionname and serverpassword need to be in single quotes, double quotes or no quotes at all?

but what about making the server password protected?

[strong pasture]

Holy hell just noticed Server Ram usage is sub 5GB thats a hell of an improvement

[white garnet]

double quotes if theres a space (no space dont need quotes)

[native wave]

mine is at 12GB....what it was before

[regal karma]

what server company do yall use? whats the best for reliability

[white garnet]

if youre wanting an ASA server the only option currently is nitrado, unless you just host your own on your hardware

[regal karma]

for self hosting

[strong pasture]

@regal karma its either self or nitrado , there are no other choices

[native wave]

one company that can rent you ark servers

you can rent servers out...you just have to set it up yourself

[marble kernel]

HELLO NO ! just rent a dedicated server anywhere and do it with steamcmd

[white garnet]

i guess you could do that too, i personally just have an old pc i stole from work to host my server 😛

[marble kernel]

You knw nothing there is tons of company renting dedicated server for low cost just do it manually with steamcmd

[marble kernel]

yeah but you expose your home ip if you host yourself

[white garnet]

meh, not worried. also its a private server so not a big deal

[native wave]

I was talking about renting dedicated servers with a generic hosting company....again the hole DIY part is required for that...ie steamcmd or something else (that uses steamcmd)

[marble kernel]

yeah true but its possible without nitrado you are not bound with them to make a server

[wheat cypress]

@wanton hinge just so you know, my username totally checks out. I had the server mode for PVE selected and my server is PVP.... this would mean my server wouldnt show up since i had filtered it out....

[strong pasture]

we have all done it lol

[wheat cypress]

lol

[ruby merlin]

shhh there is no other great options OVH is cheapest option for really good servers i wouldnt go anywhere else

[flat mantle]

Guys, can anyone help me with my ark survival evolved server?

I started a new server and configured it as always but I didn't see the command below.

OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=1

So when tamed a Dino LV55, its XP bar was like 1/10.
And they're levelling just like the 56 its his first level.

Is there any way to solve that and turn the xp to lv 56 get back to normal?

[ruby merlin]

get beacon and make it easy on you

@flat mantle

[flat mantle]

?

[ruby merlin]

i shopped around but for system specs and line speed best bang for buck

[ruby merlin]

ark beacon u can impoort yuour config files for editing it has hover over tooltips and easy plug and play settings

[swift shuttle]

why are all of the dino in my sp world low lvl's

i put it max in the settings

The map is the island

[waxen dock]

does anyone have to open extra ports to have their clients be able to download all available servers to join in their server browser?

[swift shuttle]

okay

override and offset increase the settings?

[rich cloak]

\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows
**GameUserSettings.ini**

[fair matrix]

something is very wrong with my mating timers. i have not adjusted any kind of mating interval settings, however they are all screwed up. example : mated 3 megatheriums same time. one of them can mate again in 1 day and 30 min....the 2nd one has 1 day and 15 hrs . the last one has 22 days ????? someone please help me

[vital shadow]

im using beacon

makes adminstration much easier

[fair matrix]

i dont need a manager. i havent changed any ini settingss regaurding breeding intervals, just the maturity speed.

besides, the dinos have DIFFERENT timers despite being bred at the same time. one of them is riduculous. i cant be the only ?

[wicked nova]

anyone have a cryopod mod that has had, little to no issues thus far?

[rich cloak]

I removed my Cryo MOD this morning due to the flickering the GUN portion was causing

[wicked nova]

alright ill continue waiting haha

[raw glade]

@karmic obsidian

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

[static moat]

The flickering is a mild annoyance at worst. The mod referred to has easily been the most popular and most stable out there with very little issues and quick fixes for the real problems that occur.

Check out the top Cryomod on CF by Pelayori

[hearty laurel]

iirc this happens when you breed multiple females with the same male.

[fair matrix]

is it suppsoed to ? will it not do that if i use the same male a few min apart ?

[hearty laurel]

I'm not 100% on the details of how it works, but I remember having it happen to me on ASE also, that's what it made me think of.

[wicked nova]

oh okay will do

[stark path]

Any guesses why nitrado won't let us update past 26.11?

[fair matrix]

tbh i dont rememner that happened on ase and i played for years. someimes the last female would be different than the others. i never saw it like this though. def not jumping to 22 days while the other ones are ` 1 day

[fair matrix]

im running on my own eqp and also cant update past .11

[white garnet]

i just updated a little while ago to 26.25

[stark path]

Really? Folks were reporting their personal servers were on the latest

[frigid creek]

I also just got the update to 26.25

[fair matrix]

id like to know how. delted the server minus the save and configs and redownloaded and still downloaded .11

[frigid creek]

I didn't do anything special, just my usual command:

start C:\Users\dfarr\ARKDedicated\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ..\server\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[torpid sinew]

I just tried with regular steam and steamcmd and got 26.25 on both

[fair matrix]

yeah im doing the same but instead of a batch im just running it through steacmd

wtf

im gonna delete the files and download from scratch..again. it def redownloads and validates but its not grabbing the new versions

[torpid sinew]

You sure you are in the right directory? If you don't type it exact or don't give it an install dir, it'll appear in a wonky spot

[fair matrix]

yes , when i delte the files the "ark server" folder is blank and after reinstalling ...they repopulate

[lapis pine]

So no one has figured out why tek suits don’t fly on unofficial but work on single player? Lol

[torpid sinew]

Excalibur, only other thing I can think of is it's a possible region thing 🤷‍♂️

[fair matrix]

NE us

[torpid sinew]

yeah so am I so that's not it

[fair matrix]

ohio lol

my first thought was that i was installing to the wrong directory as well , because i had done that before trying to install to "ark server" and instead installing to a newly created "ark" folder bc i messed up in cmd...but now this is the only thing on this computers ssd...and deleting the folders contenets and reinstalling confirms it is the right direcotry when it repopulates, so im lost. i thought everyone was being held back not just nitrado

[humble thicket]

Anyone had this problem? mods list not appearing, it was appear before but idk what happen, I tried verify files ,restart pc and still same no mods appear

[opal osprey]

nice, looks like servers can update to latest now

[quiet trellis]

Is it me or voice chat in game doesn't work at all?

[frigid badger]

Are nitrado servers updated to 26.25? Or was it only the public version that was released?

How do you force an update? Our server is still sitting at 26.11

[hardy pelican]

has 26.25 fixed the memory leak

[woven linden]

I'm sure there is more than one memory leak yet even if they did fix your one. LOL

[rich cloak]

But, did they fix MY Mem leak?

[hardy pelican]

exactly lmao

[serene stone]

Anyone manage to fix spino spawns s and possibly drops on ASA The Island

[final eagle]

Lol I've counted 23 crashes now in the matter of 2 hours while trying to build lol yeeeaaah buddy...

[limpid cosmos]

Ive been crashing ever since 26.11 - F a t a l e r r o r !

[final eagle]

Been crashing since launch "DEVICE_ERROR_HUNG"

[spice crown]

Will the "random person got the admin gun" be ever fixed? I have put my server to password protected now

[woven linden]

Pretty sure there is a setting you need to do that doesn't allow folks to down load items or players from other "servers". Folks are setting themselves up with GCM or spawning items in and then transferring to your server. That said I'd keep the password on if it were my server regardless.

[steep solar]

theres a problem connection with the unofficial?

[frigid creek]

Getting a lot of rubberbanding/stuttering (not sure the correct term) since the update to 26.25 😢

[steep solar]

i install the mods and i having problems with the server

[barren yoke]

They promised to solve part of the RAM problem in the last update.
We forgot to check the map's RAM here and after 4 hours online, an ASA map hit 99GB of RAM, it crashed, everything lag. Congratulations, memory leak is great. 🤡

[frigid creek]

I wish I was still stuck on 26.11 lol

[barren yoke]

It is the download from external players, for some reason this is allowed by default, so any player can place items (or even characters) in the solo host's cloud and download it on any server that has not set this configuration to blocked.

[spice crown]

Thank you

[barren yoke]

No

4 hours online and a map reached 99gb of RAM

[woven linden]

I think this is one of the things to set on your command line. -notransferfromfiltering

I see some possible tribute lines for GUS file as well. Hopefully someone else here knows more as I am new to this.

In the wiki.

[nimble talon]

Hell is there a way to safely downgrade?

[barren yoke]

I really need a downgrade for the client. There's a "SlowFrame" warning coming up all the time now, there was a moment when my PC simply turned off. Even before the update it wasn't like this

[rich cloak]

You see that only when in Admin Mode

[barren yoke]

Notice at the top of the screen? no, this has appeared every now and then since the launch of the wing, but today it is happening every 2-5 minutes

[rich cloak]

Yup, i see it too when I am an Admin

Not too concerned about it really

[barren yoke]

Before, it was when there was a server lag or when the camera turned too quickly towards a large building while there was another program on the PC using video, now, just open the game and walk away and the warning is appearing

I'm not in admin mode. I took the day off to play. I had this warning even at the top of the volcano and there it was more than 70 fps (unlike the rest of the map where it doesn't exceed 40)

[viral viper]

so when are dedis gonna be able to update past 26.11 lol?

[sullen heath]

since a few hours.....

[viral viper]

about time

has anyone noticed it help at all with memory issues?

Like the updates say it does ig

[vapid orchid]

Noticed much smoother performance than before

But the server I'm on is self hosted on Linux and has been running smooth for the last week anyway except today before updating

[ruby merlin]

so i built in a cave memory usage jumped from 5gb to almost 10 i built close to a waterfall area on a cliff same results then i switched resource building block off built volcano jumped up to almost 15gb

build on the beaches stays at 5gb

going to do a wipe and reproduce at different ares but same type of terrain

[frail crescent]

In terms of memory on our server, server has been up for about 5 hours now and been sitting at 14.5 gb with about 18-20 ppl on

Usually by now it would be hovering 20gb

[tired vessel]

i havne't updated yet (still 26.11) and running over 18gb with 8 players... so that sounds like a nice improvement

anyone hear if there are plans for a native linux server? running via proton is working fine fwiw

[barren yoke]

Here are 3 ASA maps. 1 of them I didn't see how it was, 1 was normal (it turned on with 20gb, stabilized at around 28-30gb after a few hours), but the last one, out of nowhere exploded, hit 99gb and crashed

[vapid orchid]

Idk what exactly my friend uses for her hosting service but I know it is Linux and full mod support there

[fleet olive]

I've managed to start the ASA server in the background (windows task scheduler) and it consistently starts around 4GB ram. This has been v26.11.

[tiny finch]

anyone elses Nitrado server going down every 5-10mins? Was hella stable all evening but in the past hour the random restarts have been wild.

[ruby merlin]

It's crazy us dedicated ppl can run it days without a crash nitrado the preferred official host hasn't been stable a day yet

[tiny finch]

if i knew how to self host via a vm, I would xD

[wise kindle]

Instructions in the pins.

[rich cloak]

My Nitrado ARK Ascended server has not crashed the entire 2 weeks that I have have been running it

[ruby merlin]

@tiny finch not as hard as u think

[tiny finch]

I'm sure its not, its just a matter of finding the right VM provider and service

the setup after that doesn't daunt me

[ruby merlin]

Ovh

[wise kindle]

I havent had issues with Nitrado but there are full instructions in the pins on how to do it yourself.

[ruby merlin]

@wise kindle some have not but its in the minority looking through the discord chans

[tired vessel]

you dont need a VM host. I'd go VPS and run it in a docker container. you can get a Contabo vps with 30gb for under $25/mo

[tiny finch]

the how to is on the wiki too, i've already checked it out

[echo river]

anyone else having issues getting their dedicated server to update?

[ruby merlin]

@tired vessel Runs ok on a vps no lag or crashes?

[tired vessel]

im sure it depends, but idk i own my own hardware

[tiny finch]

the container is so i can run via Ubuntu? Or would you just cut the hasstle and go windows server?

i've never used a VPS before, so unsure what the container is.

[wise kindle]

Im sure. I have noted that bugs I see are seen in both camps so that’s reassuring.

[tired vessel]

i ran my server in a windows VM at first, then moved it to linux container. Performance boost when ditching windows was significant, despite the proton emulation. FWIW my desktop is also linux and I use it to play the game. My windows friends complain about crashes constantly, and I've hardy had any crashes

[ruby merlin]

Yeah I have had zero crashes just client crashes

Crazy how some do and some dont

[frigid badger]

How do you update nitrado servers? Is it automatic or do I have to trigger it?

[wise kindle]

It’s automatic. You can sometimes trigger it by rebooting if the update is available to your datacenter. I just take a nap and let it happen.

[frigid badger]

Have they pushed it yet? Our server is still sitting at 26.11

[sullen heath]

its out since a few hours

[frigid badger]

Hmm/

I'm seeing a lot of unofficial servers still on 26.11 so I wasn't sure if nitrado had the update yet

[robust junco]

They haven't they have a huge yellow disclaimer stating they know they are behind and they are trying to get wildcard to update their end.

Right at the top of the server settings page.

[frigid badger]

lovely

[hybrid widget]

Nitrado is still outdated, we are 5 patches behind ffs

[high condor]

Does anyone know why we cannot craft Thanksgiving event items in the cooking pot on our Nitrado Server?

[brave lynx]

are any other servers getting some rubberbanding on latest patch? (40+ players)

[marsh jay]

Ark is soon

[wise kindle]

Events aren’t technically supposed to work till Winter Wonderland releases. The only thing guaranteed are event colors and a couple odd bits and pieces of events.

[marsh jay]

I'm gonna soon every where

[high condor]

so that would be the reason the chibi recipes arent in the cooking pot then?

[wise kindle]

That would be the bits and pieces that arent there… cuz its not Winter Wonderland. Events are not supported until that event releases… At Christmas time.

[marsh jay]

Soon

[hardy sun]

What's the command in the UE5 server console to broadcast a message to the server? Broadcast / Cheat Broadcast / Admincheat Broadcast do not seem to work.

[tired vessel]

those are RCON commands. they dont work in the server console. You need to use an rcon client and config your server to use rcon

[hardy sun]

Ah is there one out there for ASA? I did note that cheat saveworld does work though. So thought maybe the broadcast would too.

[tired vessel]

any rcon client should work

[hearty laurel]

I haven't been able to get broadcasts to work with RCON, but cheat broadcast works for me in console as long as I enable cheats for myself first

[hardy sun]

Yeah it works in game in broadcast works but when I enable admin cheats the damn server lags and eventually times out. Haven't been able to figure out the reason yet.

[tired vessel]

broadcast doesnt work -- try serverchat instead

[hearty laurel]

ah, I'm not sure what might be causing that. I don't get that , sorry

[hardy sun]

ty ty

[hardy sun]

Yeah it's an odd phenomenon I haven't figured out. It eventually leads to a memory exception crash.

[hearty laurel]

ya can confirm those work in RCON too, I use that for now for my shutdown script since broadcasts don't

[hardy sun]

I've been using WindowsGSM. Doing everything manually I always screw something up lol.

[exotic notch]

Anyone know any solo servers dropping soon?

[woeful notch]

Does anyone know about issues with photo mode when enabling any mods on their server?

[zinc fjord]

Any ORP unofficials?

[viral sand]

Where do I find a list of unofficial servers to join?

[wise kindle]

#1110925695900713072

[fierce timber]

Server finally updated to latest build... and the rubberbanding is absolutely atrocious, lol.

Not to mention overall performance is way worse on this build too.

[carmine shoal]

Anyone else experiencing bad rubber banding on their active server since yesterday’s “improvement” server build?

[carmine shoal]

Ah okay, so not just me lol

[fierce timber]

Yeah, my temps have gone up by like 2-5 degrees on gpu/cpu

And nothing else has changed but the build

That combined with the terrible rubberbanding and fps trying to return to the first 2-3 days of ASA launch

Somehow the new update is way worse than previous, lul

Truly an ARK moment

[warm dock]

Anyone experiencing a pop up on servers stating You have been kicked by battlEye. Reason ‘client not responding’ is there a way to fix this?

It’s only happening on 1 server. Any other server I can join like normal

[olive sleet]

I've had rubberbanding since Client v26.21, server was not updated since v26.11. I suspect its a Client issue and not Server because of this.
Also related, joining a just-started server does not result in rubberbanding. Only after leaving and rejoining the server does this start.

[rough flame]

Any good solo pvp servers?

[frosty dawn]

Can someone explain to me why I have to log in and out TWICE every time I want to play because I can't open any inventories? Also.. why every time I go to log in do I have to search for our server even though it have it as a Faverote? Also why won't it come up in my Favs? Finally why do I have to enter the password every single time?

[rough flame]

Also happens to me.

[frosty dawn]

😥

[lyric python]

The answer is ARK

[spiral palm]

Anyone been having issues with spawns still? I haven't seen a Rhynognathia since I killed the first batch and Spinos and Rexs basically never spawn. I do not have any custom spawns set, all default.

I'm tempted to restart my world just to see if it's because I've been running the same save since day 3 after launch...

[lyric pagoda]

FWIW, after they fixed the spawn issue, I still had to destroywilddinos to wipe the map clean and basically get the spawns going "fresh"

[spiral palm]

ooooooh that makes sense. I don't think I've done that since they fixed the spawns.

[dry fern]

How can I send a broadcast message from rcon or remote server console not in game???

[lyric pagoda]

On the server favorites, it's because the game seems to query the server list and limit the results to some particular number. But favorites are seemingly handled as a filter after you get the search results... and like 99% of the time, your server is not going to be in that first response of some block of random servers, meaning when it filters the results it goes "nope, nothing here in the favorites list" and blithely continues on its merry way. But when you search, it gives servers matching that search and HEY, look at that, your favorite is one of the servers in that set! YAY!

Yes, this is very annoying.

(Entering the password every single time, though, that's a thing that was true even on ASE; nice as it would be, I don't expect that one to change.)

[lyric pagoda]

Just open an RCON session and then broadcast <whatever>

I do it all the time when I need to restart the server to pick up updates; I'll open an RCON session and listplayers to see who's on, then just broadcast If you aren't in a safe spot for a reboot, please inform Pax over on Discord. If everyone's in a secure spot, I do saveworld in my RCON session just to be safe (because the server has crashed on shutdown more than a few times and caused rollbacks) and then restart the server.

[cosmic urchin]

Has anyone had any luck with flyer speed on their nitrado server?

[rich cloak]

I use a MOD called "Sqaw's Flyers" and also "Speed_Costumes"

[wise kindle]

Mine works fine after the update. No mods needed.

[cosmic urchin]

It seemed like people were having issues with mods on nitrado servers causing them to lose structures. Is that not an issue anymore?

[rich cloak]

I have not lost a single structure due to MODs

I also do not use any "Structure" MODs

[wise kindle]

The heck

I dmd u @cosmic urchin

[cosmic urchin]

Thank you @wise kindle !

[wise kindle]

Np 🙂

[cosmic urchin]

I'm about to reset the server, just wanted to make sure this is right for the .ini file:

bAllowSpeedLeveling=True
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True

[wise kindle]

Without looking at mine, I think those are correct. If not lmk and Ill search my inis.

[cosmic urchin]

Thanks very much!

WOOO LETS GOOOOO

Thanks again, my buddies and I are very happy 🙂

[lapis pine]

Still no fix for tek suit not working? Lol

[supple glacier]

lol the 50/50 glitch just sucks up half our server. basically unplayable.

[cosmic urchin]

Damn, so some of the base I was working on got deleted. Not a huge amount, but some of it was floating in the air and a good chunk was simply missing. I'm not using any mods at all so I'm not sure why that would happen.

Does it get wonky with larger bases? My base isn't huge but it is a bit bigger than most I've done. It was mostly walls and lg walls that got deleted

[gleaming kite]

Can confirm since last update 26.25 all asa servers keeps ram usage at 11-12gb at least for last 12h

[obtuse acorn]

Contabo has really low core speed

[tired vessel]

lol 3.2ghz is plenty for an ark server

[obtuse acorn]

No its not

4Ghz + is recommended

Otherwise your server fps will go bellow 10 for sure with more than 20 players

[tired vessel]

i run a full ASE 12 server cluster, like 20 other game, and ASA on a 10 year old server.... its fine with over 100 players

[oak mulch]

Doesnt the new unreal engine for servers require more resources?

[tired vessel]

has nothing ot do with UE5 -- lots of other UE5 games I host take nearly no resources. Satisfactory for example

[oak mulch]

Oh gotcha just asking i literally have no clue tbh

im running my server fine on a laptop and playing on my desktop then again its just me lol

[tired vessel]

but yea, ASA server use a lot more ram the ASE. (~20gb vs ~8gb). ASA is easier on the CPU though since its multi-threaded

[oak mulch]

Makes sense. 16gb seems to be ok so far

[graceful escarp]

Anyone get the food and water drain to slow down at all? I have my settings, but the drain has not decreased at all

[vale plover]

fortitude stat lowers the drain and putting points into food and water will help a lot.

[onyx geode]

Has anyone been able to observe whether the RAM problem has really been resolved?

[graceful escarp]

Done all that. Was trying to get the ini setting, but it does not seem to be working.

Guess it is good that I am the cook.....lol

[vale plover]

on my server we just increased the per pt modifier for food and water and bumped fortitude to 5 per pt

i rock 200 food and water 90 fort and the drain is not bad

not sure if PlayerCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier is working atm

[versed granite]

Anyone else still has the rubberband/stuttering they started in yesterday mornings patch and then suposedly removed it with another patch. Our server is at 26.25 now and still having the little rubberbands

[regal prism]

yes 🥲

[unborn sinew]

we were okay till the latest update, now we have this little lag / rubberbands

[versed granite]

Yeah same here. Started yesterday morning for us. Before that all was fine. Patch notes of yesterday's hotfixes said to fix that. But dont see any difference.

[regal prism]

It was a lot better after respawning. Then the game crashed (device hung)... Re-joined the server... Left and rejoined since I couldn't open inventories. Very much still rubberbanding.

[manic coral]

is there any way to get back to the ealier version on a selfhosted server? i am guessing not? server was fine with 26.11

i dont wanna be stuck with the little rubberbanding for the next 7 days until we get a new update xD

[onyx geode]

I still have the feeling that the RAM problem has not been solved with version .25, I can't see that the server is releasing even one KB. On the contrary, the load is getting bigger and bigger. I will continue to keep an eye on this.

[tiny finch]

Hey folks, woke up to the 25.26 release, are we noticing improved performance with the new patch?

[warm dock]

No

I’ve lost the ability to play on my server and preformence wise rubberbanding is at a all time high

[spice crown]

Do I need to put =true after?

[manic coral]

the opposite for me, now i get little rubberbanding, was better on 26.11 so i would stay there if you can

for me 26.11 was running very well

[elfin pulsar]

rubberbanding usually has to do with your connection

[manic coral]

well i run the server at home and i got a lan connection directly to my server soooooo i hope that aint counting as a bad connection 😄

[warm dock]

Anyone know how to fix you have been kicked by battlEye. Reason ‘client not responding’

[reef sluice]

What are the recommended stats for the arena fights on fjodur? None of the videos ever say what stats they are using and I'm having a hard time getting past gamma

[warm dock]

I’ve tried uninstalling Ark and battlEye. I’ve cleared my mod cache, and I’ve tried the method from ASE but no success

[elfin pulsar]

i know someone on my server has rubberbanding since the patch but only 1 person

[manic coral]

if you could go back a version, i would recommend just trying it out, but since thats not an option i would wait with updating^^

i might try to keep the map and rollback the server and see if that works i guess 😄 should have a backup from the night before

[warm dock]

That won’t work, every time you restart a nitrado server it force updates to current version

[manic coral]

i dont have a nitrado server, its selfhosted at home, so i dont have to update 😄

[warm dock]

I wish it was self hosted

As of currently the only solid plan I got is to just leave it alone for a little while

[manic coral]

working great for me, currently rolling back without rolling back the saved files, i am guessing that works without any issue.
usually i check here to see if there are issues after an update, but the first 3 hours yesterday nobody reported any major issue or rubberbanding.
i think i somehow gotta control my need to update and wait atleast a full day haha

[zenith bloom]

I have this line in my INI files...but raw mutton still won't stack:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=50,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
Any ideas?

[raw glade]

@cursive yoke

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

[olive talon]

For some users it started working on it's own, but for others it still will not stack.

[zenith bloom]

Thank you!

[brave igloo]

Does ASE still use steam64ids for player saves? (trying to transfer from singleplayer to dedicated)

Seems like they're using a completely different ID. Some epic ID maybe?

[lyric python]

Lets hope this newest patch wont take 6 days to release for dedis

[lone stream]

mutton did not stack on our server - until we installed 2 mods which have nothing at all to do with stacks (Shiny! nad a spyglass mod), and now it does stack. Heard of another server owner with the same problem and the same solution, but completely other mods. Seems as if installing any mod triggers the mutton stack override to work. Ark at its best...

[unborn sinew]

Now this would be awesome, but I have a CryoPod and SpaGlass mod and this did not resolve the mutton stacking 🙄

[lone stream]

then it remains a miracle. We just were happy that it started working after we installed the mods (and we also just transferred the overrides from ASE and changed nothing)

[hybrid quarry]

I seem to encounter quite a few fatal errors, is this common in the single player game too? It doesn't seem to be affecting the server. Twice last night, it errored with me surrounded by a pack of raptors, not cool.

[unborn sinew]

Yes, on my ASE servers all is working fine. Will look at it later again as it is not a real issue at the moment. Flying sacrifice ovis in cryo when needed

[carmine shoal]

New patch will HOPEFULLY do something

[carmine shoal]

Usually within about 6h if it works well

[humble thicket]

Anyone had this problem? mods not appearing in mods list??

[carmine shoal]

Or they delay it if it doesn’t.

Has anyone else had problems with their PvE destruction timers not working?

[final eagle]

Any ark admins, can we have 2 PC-patch notes for server, one for Official and one for Unofficial so we can know when Unofficial patches are live? it'll make it easier to track unofficial patches so we can patch our servers.

[carmine shoal]

Quick question — if hosting multiple servers on a dedicated server (5950X with 128 GB of RAM) how do I go about splitting up the cores? Does it do it automatically?

Each server console mentions 16 cores and I’m wondering if all of the servers are trying to utilize all 16 or if it spreads the load.

[white garnet]

i cant get the stacking to work, before i added any mods and even after adding cryopods, super spyglass, and crafting skill potion. still wont stack mutton

[quiet trellis]

So I have an omni light on my motorboat it turns on and shows that is light up but it doesn't provide any light. Is that a bug with boats? Is it an issue with the server?

[mental jewel]

Use the steam api’s info endpoint and watch for changes on the public branch

[brittle canyon]

Also running into the same issue with mutton.
My setting currently:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))
Blueprint Path:
/Script/Engine.Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton.PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton'
Note: The _C works for all other stack size confiurations in the GameUserSettings file.

[viscid estuary]

Mutton stacking started working after installed mods for me, then, suddenly stopped working, then working again without changes. I guess it was something related to mods updates

[white garnet]

yeah all my other custom stacks work, just mutton is broken lol

[woven linden]

No, just add it as a switch. The wiki, which is in the pins, has more information.

[carmine shoal]

They knew how badly it was needed lol

[nimble talon]

Patch is up for public branch

[opal osprey]

wow, nice, that was surprisingly quick

[manic coral]

now the important question, is that patch any good 😄

[carmine shoal]

Does it help? Curious if anyone can report back.

[spiral citrus]

IF your character was jerky before the update, and the updates sorts it, DO NOT change your video settings or itll make your character f#cked again...

[carmine shoal]

Wait what lol

[spiral citrus]

updated our server to latest patch, character movement went back to normal, nice and smooth, slight edit to my video settings and the character is stuttering and skipping all over the place again

[carmine shoal]

That is… weird.

Coincidence maybe? What happens if you log out and back in

[spiral citrus]

nothing, tried all kinds of video settings, logged out several times, nothing taking it back to just after the patch hehe, oh well

[stoic meteor]

i got like 60 hours on ase and just bought asa am looking for players to teach me the game am down for whatever pvp pve

[carmine shoal]

Shot you a DM @stoic meteor

[final eagle]

I understand that , but if we can get official announcements would also be beneficial.

[vital shadow]

they have broken the game with all this rubberbanding

[regal prism]

Still feeling the rubber banding.. Which makes sense since the issue was introduced in client 26.21 and this patch was server side.

That said, i'm wondering if the inis mentioned for server patch 26.23 could help us?

Tweaked some ini values to reduce/eliminate rubber banding on servers with low frame rate or players with high latency

[stoic meteor]

i got like 60 hours on ase and just bought asa am looking for players to teach me the game am down for whatever pvp pve

[leaden lotus]

It happens to them that when they pass near a base they see the dinos flying

[carmine shoal]

Those ini settings were on the server side

And are assumedly already at play

[regal prism]

Correct, the only thing that comes to mind is that it modifies client side negotiation

[carmine shoal]

For sure, I’m just saying that it’s probably already implemented in what we have

And assumedly it did nothing.

[olive sleet]

Same here, still convinced it's at least partially a Client issue, like Client - Server miscommunication.
Unless its a backend issue through EGS

[carmine shoal]

Pretty sure WC just makes up patch notes at this point.

[spiral citrus]

yeah it started happening for me a few days ago after a client update

[regal prism]

26.21 (server/client)

Fixed an exploit related to movement speed

I can only assume that the client is being aggressive to prevent bad things from happening on official servers.
We can reasonably assume it's a client side behavior since we were stuck on server 26.11 when clients were bumped up to 26.21

[austere rune]

has anyone worked out a way to do noninteractive downloads with SteamCMD when using Steam Guard? you have to log in to steam to download ASA Server, but if you use Steam Guard, you can't automated this because it prompts you for a code when logging in with username and password... royal pain in the patootie

[vital shadow]

use annon

[austere rune]

i tried, gave me subscription error with ASA Server

[vital shadow]

when did you try?

[olive sleet]

Both ASE and ASA do not require logging in to download the server. Ensure you are using AppID 2430930

[vital shadow]

it did the first day, but they changed that very fast

[austere rune]

i just tried it again after having bought the game... apparently it's querying the local steam client to just check if it's in your library...

that's silly

[manic coral]

the login was only needed in the very beginning afaik, you can download as anonymous for a long time now

[vital shadow]

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir (path) +login Anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

this is mine, works fine used earlier today

in a batch file ofc

[austere rune]

tried that yesterday on a pc with no steam installed, it didn't work. subscription error.

[vital shadow]

try download a new steam cmd

[austere rune]

steamcmd auto updates...

[vital shadow]

and remove the old steamcmd install

[olive sleet]

Is the server already installed and you are trying to update it?
If yes I would recommend putting any SavedARKs and .ini's somewhere safe and wiping the server install

I used SteamCMD not an hour ago to update my server and it worked, all I can think of is a bad SteamCMD signature in the install location.

[austere rune]

is steam installed and logged in on the PC where you did that?

[olive sleet]

Yes
Though not running
// and does not trigger Steam to run at all

[vital shadow]

works with steam installed and without i tested it

[inner sinew]

is there anyone gottin a auto restart working for dedicated server?

[vital shadow]

you can use a watchdog batch, and arkremoteadmin to schedule and doexit

[inner sinew]

ok ty

[carmine shoal]

Does anyone know how to set automated restarts for servers with warnings on a dedicated (self hosted) server?

Is there a good guide on it anywhere?

[vital shadow]

you can still make it with arkremoteadmin

[carmine shoal]

Does it work for ASA too?

[median fossil]

Just FYI, I downloaded the official server files from Steam and used a batch file to run the exe, and I’m still able to play the game on a different computer. If id run the server through the steam client my other computer would tell me I’m playing a game on a different PC and can’t play. So that might be a good workaround for anyone having trouble with steamCMD

[vital shadow]

yes, only thing not working is you cannot see players online

[inner sinew]

was there n update for arkremoteadmin github last update was 8yrs

[carmine shoal]

Curious about this too. If it still works that’s amazing.

[vital shadow]

im using it on daily basis, as its the only way to do DoExit withotu logging on the server

[inner sinew]

and ur running this on asc server?

[ruby merlin]

so those having issues with client crashing and not server crashes with lowlevel and hung switch game to fullscreen window 3 days since i had a crash

[inner sinew]

if so ill give it a shot

[vital shadow]

yes i do

[inner sinew]

ok

[icy path]

Is there a way to aid water dinosaurs with their mental health? We have lost a handful of sharks and a tuso because they surfaced too hard in the middle of the ocean and insta-died. Beaching themselves is understandable, but still problematic, but most are well in deep water. Is this something we need to live with or can we fix it somehow?

[carmine shoal]

Look in to anti-depressants.

[olive sleet]

You mean you're leaving them deep underwater and they're reaching the top of the ocean when you're away?

[icy path]

No, we'll be out in the ocean, or moving around the base. Leading on one shark, 3 others following. Open the gate, one shark piles up, gets out of the water and dies. Also had a tribe member leave it on follow while running on to the shore, sometimes they survive, sometimes they kill themselves trying to follow

[ruby merlin]

if theres no land around to beach themselves on there should be no way they just dying reaching waters surface

[olive sleet]

Beaching was always somewhat common in ASE so that may not be fixed for a while/ever, but the water-surface death is seemingly new.
I know wilds did and still do it a lot, but haven't heard of tames doing it

[icy path]

oh yeah, we've lost a few critters to surfacing well away from the beach

[ruby merlin]

i would move them seperate and without follow command for now also if your leaving them build a hitching post and hitch them

[icy path]

no hitching post in ASA

unless I just haven't found it?

[ruby merlin]

wait they removed the hitching post well that sucks

[olive sleet]

You mean the Dino Leash? That was Extinction content, that is one thing I wish wasn't released chronologically

[ruby merlin]

thats a must have needed to be added bk hopefully someone can mod it for now

dino leash doesnt work right now im having issues with it

and still with leash they would still move and most likely surface

[lapis pine]

Still no fix to tek suits not flying? Lol

[vestal veldt]

Prolly not considering ur not supposed to have them yet lmfao

[obtuse acorn]

This can't be true and no one should advise this!
3.2Ghz is for maybe 10/15 people.
You can read this almost everywhere on Discord where server owners can be found

[lapis pine]

What do you mean lol. You unluck them after the bosses on island lol. They are tek engrams unlocked after doing broodmother, mega and dragon…binoculars after overseer. I have completed all bosses and have the engrams unlocked. Obviously you haven’t unlocked them or know anything, so you’re no help.

[tired vessel]

I'm not advising it, I'm just letting you know you are wrong. It's true. Survival of the Littesr cluster... one of the oldest clusters in ark. There are no server requirements. You are making that up

[obtuse acorn]

I am hosting servers for more than 25 years so i am know what i am talking about.

[tired vessel]

Same here

[obtuse acorn]

For sure Contabo will give you ARK server mega stalls.
At least 2 years back.

[lapis pine]

Anyone know if there’s an .ini file change or server change to allow your tek suit to fly? It works on single player but not unofficial. I have all engrams unlocked after completing bosses and full suit with element. All tek functions like normal except flying fast

[olive sleet]

Not confirmed but highly expected to be a bug atm.

[tired vessel]

Possibly, that's why I don't use VPS. Your at the mercy of your neighbors. My setup is a LGA2011 server. I've migrated ASA to an epyc gen3 to test with no improvement. It's back on the 2011 and running well

[ruby merlin]

if it works single player and the gloves helmet all work then i think its a bug and have to wait on a fix spamming aint going to change that

[woven linden]

While you could get it from bosses, I'm surprised it works at all given we didn't even get it until extinction I thought. Some of what they do or do not add seems off. :/

[final eagle]

Is there a setting for PVE to allow euthanasia on dinos / kill dinos without enabling friendly fire... pretty sure there was a way in ASE

[lapis pine]

It’s not spam if you’re looking for valuable information instead of people who don’t know anything and all responses are “probably because you’re not suppose to have it yet” lol

[woven linden]

Why could we get tek but not cryos for example.

[lapis pine]

Tek suits have always unlocked on island after bosses.

[ruby merlin]

no tek was available pretty much early in the game other bits of it was added later but it was never an expansion gated

[woven linden]

Ah, must be misremembering then. I hated tek so mostly ignored it, other than cryos. LOL

[lapis pine]

Tek suit has and always has been unlockable after island bosses

[olive sleet]

Tek Suits were available on the Island after the game left Early Access in 2017.
Extinction was released late 2018 and included Cryopods, which were added to all other maps retroactively.

[woven linden]

Got it.

[lapis pine]

Haha we put the cryo mod on our server cause we couldn’t deal with all the Dino’s out anymore once everyone started breeding lol

[ruby merlin]

its spam when u ask the question multiple times in multiple channels and dont get the answer you want so ask again

[olive sleet]

same tbh lol

[lapis pine]

Considering the influx in comments. Things get pushed up quickly. If you only have one question, Repeating a question in hopes of reaching the appropriate audience is justifiable lol

But I got an answer from someone other than a smart*** so ✌️

[woven linden]

Also this question isn't really Unoffical specific, so a bit off topic. But there are a lot of folks here who know the answers.

[lapis pine]

I asked on unofficial because it works in single player, we aren’t on official so haven’t tested it 🙏

[woven linden]

Ah, I suppose, weird that it would work in single player but not server. Must be an issue with the server code tracking it maybe?

[icy path]

we added a mod to aid with that. Dino kill potion

[final eagle]

Was looking at that might add it

[ruby merlin]

have u tried giving yourself the engram from command i know u unlocked it but maybe the unlock is bugged

[lapis pine]

I did. We have a testing server we use to test mods before bringing over to our main server. Only worked on single player for now.

[woven linden]

Curious, what does it do or not do on server?

[ruby merlin]

i know theres an option to disable it on genesis in the ini but i dont think that would effect the island but u could give it a go as a lost shot u may be waiting a while for it to be fixed

[woven linden]

Like can you wear it and others see it? Does it not do anything? Does the tek gloves or boots do anything?

[carmine shoal]

Assumedly there’s a setting on the unofficial server blocking it

Check through all settings and troubleshoot.

[ruby merlin]

AllowTekSuitPowersInGenesis=True in gameuser settings try that

[lapis pine]

It doesn’t fly fast. You can press shift+ctrl and it will usually do the tek leg speed in the air. Everything works except that.

[lapis pine]

Yea we did try that, didn’t fix

It’s probably just a bug.

[knotty perch]

is it possible to enable egg droping from tamed dinos while they are not rendered by you or a tribemate?

[ruby merlin]

just check that your key config hasnt changed

[vivid spindle]

is it possible to get chibis on asa, if so how ?

[carmine shoal]

They can be spawned in

[vivid spindle]

ive tried and have been un sucessful

[wise kindle]

I have added them to drops. Only island dino chibis work.

[carmine shoal]

Any way you could share how?

That would be sick.

[wise kindle]

Beacon, its like magic.

[vivid spindle]

alot of the codes that i used on dododex are not working on asa like they did on ase

[carmine shoal]

But like do you add them to the game.ini or game user settings.ini or what?

[wise kindle]

Just change the chibi pool to only native island dino chibis. You wont get dlc chibis to work.

[carmine shoal]

Only Dino’s that are in the game currently work

[carmine shoal]

For sure, just curious what you actually add in to your config to get it to have a chance to spawn naturally.

[vivid spindle]

same

[wise kindle]

Its pretty much the same code for drops from my ASE map. All i updated is the chibi pool.

[vivid spindle]

would you be able to post the code line in here ?

[wise kindle]

I might be able to when i get home.

[carmine shoal]

Would be sick

[vivid spindle]

okay, id appreciate it 😁

it sucks that we cant put in our configs for clearing the water and only the admin code ewvery time

[wise kindle]

Ya’ll should just splurge on Beacon. Got it done in 5 minutes lol. Even created an island only dataset to use on other maps.

[vague smelt]

Can we post Servers here/

[wise kindle]

#1110925695900713072

[vague smelt]

Thx wow to many pretty sure it would just get lost in the crowd my humble lil server

[orchid knot]

My personal server just updated to 26.27 guys

[austere rune]

does anyone know how to set query port for dedicated server? the ASE method of "QueryPort=###" on the command line isn't working for me, my server process isn't binding the port...

[prisma musk]

qui est chaud de join en x10 ?

[wise kindle]

English please #1110925695900713072

[nimble talon]

ANyone figure out clusters yet by chance?

[wise kindle]

This is not enabled yet. Wont be until Scorched releases.

[nimble talon]

Ah so you can't cluste rwith the mod map?

[wise kindle]

Nope

[nimble talon]

Gives me time to get 128gb ram on the server then 😄

[tender tundra]

For some reason i cant download mods anyone know why?

[celest halo]

There is no query port it does not use steams network

[woven linden]

So maybe a server side speed limit, maybe for perf reasons, and/or a bug. Or they're doing something to limit exploits maybe so limiting the speed of anything faster than a certain rate. Only thing I can think of why server would differ here in the way you're saying. It sounds like it "works" but something is checking speed and limiting it.

[earnest finch]

My ARK server is all of a sudden NOT showing up (got like 20h on it, aka it has worked before, played on it yesterday)

[native wave]

relying on favorites to find it every time?

[earnest finch]

That is the way I usually find it yes, but it does not appear either on the unofficial page. The server has an unique name and has shown up before there

[native wave]

anything changed with it recently?

[earnest finch]

Has the game gotten and update?

[native wave]

there was an update yesterday for unofficial servers

and the day before that official got the update along with clients

[tender tundra]

.

[wise kindle]

Cuz you are on Playstation?

[tender tundra]

Pc

[hearty laurel]

oh goodie, they finally added proper garbage collection to the servers... Maybe now I won't have to run a memory trimmer on my VPS xD

[tender tundra]

I play both

[earnest finch]

Hmm maybe thats the problem, gonna check

[modern finch]

is cluster support for dedi servers implemented yet?

[wise kindle]

Not till Scorched is released.

[native wave]

really?

[wise kindle]

It got very mad at you. Its been touchy lately.

[native wave]

yeah apparently putting startup attributes and gus.ini entries is spam these days

[wise kindle]

Your description of "cant download" is pretty vague. Can you describe the experience and what means you are using to download the mods?

[wise kindle]

It was deleting every other message last night. Its improved slightly.

[native wave]

Try it a different way: (hopefully this doesn't trigger spam protection)

-mods=<mod id>,<mod id>

In GUS.ini under [ServerSettings]:
ActiveMods=<mod id>,<mod id>```

[floral flower]

gus or game?

[native wave]

gameusersettings.ini

[floral flower]

oh thx!

[native wave]

it's just shorthand for it 🙂

[lilac notch]

what servers have the highest pop for NA?

[potent sedge]

All are full

[lilac notch]

for unofficial?

[carmine shoal]

@lilac notch PMing you ours. Pop is always up there, especially in the evening (30-40 online)

[austere rune]

ah ok... that sucks... thank you for the info!

[thorn warren]

Anyone looking to tribe up with a mic and is good DM ME

[earnest finch]

The server is still not showing up

It clearly says it has started "... has successfully started!

[rain widget]

Anyone got any server event recommendations?

[tender tundra]

when i try to install it will start installing and than immediately quit installing

[native wave]

it usually takes a couple of minutes before it shows up in the server list for me after it says it has started

[tender tundra]

im in the mods list in ark single/dedicated servers

[earnest finch]

For me it usually appears within 30 seconds of it stateing that it has started

[orchid knot]

make sure to search for your servers name in unofficial cuz favorites is broken still.

[native wave]

yeah we covered that...he already did that

[rain widget]

are we able to use the turkey event for asa? im not seeing it in nitrados settings

[native wave]

unlikely, I think they said the Christmas event will be the first event they run. The base game skins and stuff aren't present, so I wouldn't expect anything from events to be in there until they actually run an event

[earnest finch]

FUCK it still does not show up ("No sessions found!")

[rain widget]

ty

[native wave]

ports used?

[earnest finch]

Looked into the router and the port forwarding and it seemd to be like how it was when it was working, even started up a old Minecraft server and it still worked, so the port should not be the problem

[patent grove]

Is the server password protected?

[earnest finch]

I dont think so, how do I see that?

[patent grove]

Should be in your .bat file. If it is password protected there is a check box in server list to show these.

[orchid knot]

if it was passworded you would know... you have to set the password for it to have one lol

[patent grove]

I couldn't find my server when I first got it running until I seen that box and checked it. Lol

[native wave]

you would also know because you have to enter it EVERY FUCKING TIME. Sorry, just annoyed whitelists are not working.

[orchid knot]

they didnt work in ASE either. my wife and I always had to put it in but we were both whitelisted aswell

[native wave]

They worked perfectly in ASE...I know, I've been running a whitelisted cluster for a while

[orchid knot]

never worked for us

[native wave]

if you have a whitelist your server does not need a password...if you had a password anyway, that's why you had to enter it every time

if you whitelist your server you can leave your password blank. it will not allow those not on the whitelist to connect

[solemn zephyr]

If you turn on winter wonderland now you do see gacha clause

[native wave]

interesting what assets and code they included in ASA

still don't have my hunter hat skin...in either ASA or ASE despite earning it in all the ways I'm able

[wise kindle]

Some events work, but not completely. Its hit and miss.

[native wave]

gacha clause might have been left in just cause it would have been the first event they planned on

[autumn spade]

A group of friends and I are trying to configure our rented ARK ASA Server to run just like an official Small Tribes Server. We are going to play each of the maps as they come out and beat the bosses like we should have done many years ago.

What I am looking for is the game.ini file that has the Official Small Tribes server settings. For whatever strange reason our Server did not even come with a game.ini file installed. There was one there but it was blank I should say.

TL:DR: I am looking for a copy of the game.ini file from a Small Tribes Official Server.

[solemn zephyr]

No one will have that right now since data mining doesn't exist.

I suggest getting Beacon and building it up yourself

[blissful shard]

I got my ini settings my setting up a single player game then copying the game file into the server ini file. That is probably the best bet currently and you'll likely have to tweak some things here and there

My server is all tribes of 1-2 casual players so our dinos are a little on the powerful side

Hello everyone, as always, great work and thank you for it, my question is what command is for the imprint to increase more than the maturation on a dedicated server? since I am not able to regulate it. Thank you so much

[floral flower]

Good afternoon! I needed a little help, my server was working, but when I added the mod lines it no longer worked, I removed it and put it back as it was before, but it no longer appears in the list of servers, I will send you the configuration line of the initialization .bat, of course, with the data of the XXXX server.

call
C:\ARK\server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?SessionName=[SA]Os Catarina [SA - 3X tudo + mods + stacks]?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxx?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=xxxxx?QueryPort=xxxxx?Port=xxxx?listen -UseBattlEye

[patent grove]

Try. -mods=xxxxxx,xxxxx,xxxx

[floral flower]

Yes, I tried this line, it downloads the mods, but the server is not available, I forgot to back up the previous .bat file so I don't remember if I removed the mods line and ended up removing something I shouldn't have.

[wise kindle]

How long are you waiting for the map to come up? When mods are added it can take a bit for them to install.

[untold sedge]

where can i find a list of rcon commands?

Is there a way to up the effectiveness of shocking tranqs using ini files?

Hello everyone, as always, great work and thank you for it, my question is what command is for the imprint to increase more than the maturation on a dedicated server? since I am not able to regulate it. Thank you so much

[native wave]

I think the reason you are not getting an answer to your question is because it is difficult to understand your question. Are you looking to trying to make sure you reach 100% imprint before the baby matures?

[olive talon]

Go into game.ini
Type in BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=10
Save and exit

[floral flower]

could someone test if my server appears in the list? in battlemetrics it appears as online, but it doesn't appear in the game for me

[SA]Os Catarina [SA - 3X tudo + mods + stacks]

[solemn zephyr]

Shows for me, 70 slot

[ornate shell]

I am wondering has anyone been able to cluster servers yet? was wanting to try with a Mod map to the Island

[floral flower]

thx bro! for some reason it doesn't appear for me, I'll try reinstalling the game

[ornate shell]

I find I need to search for the server name to find mine

[solemn zephyr]

Before that, I'd make sure your filters are set to all and you don't have pass protected selected.

[tame hamlet]

oi.. on our server whenever i take a mindwipe and begin leveling up, once i reach lvl 54, the server crashes.. anyone else have issues? autolearn engrams is on

but, i didnt have this issue last night.

[solemn zephyr]

Sounds like a mod issue

[tame hamlet]

only mods on here are custom dino levels, binos, silent fab, any colour sets, solo farm, pvp scoreboard, and cryo

[solemn zephyr]

I still don't get why people are using the binos mod when they are in the vanilla game.

But either way, sounds like you have a broken engram set to unlock at level 54

[tame hamlet]

hmm, i dont think silent fab was on there last night tbh

we have the binos mod because you dont have to get it from ascension.. it just becomes a fabricator craft

[solemn zephyr]

I mean, you can set the engram to auto unlock without the need for another potentially server breaking mod (talking about during updates)

[tame hamlet]

ye, all of the engrams unlock.. which may be the issue. i believe i took the mindwipe before they added the auto tek engrams

[timber marsh]

anyone know how to read crash reports? my dedicated server crashed last night and every time I've tried to run it since, it crashes on launch and gives me a crash log, but I can't make heads or tails of it... I've tried validating server files, I've tried loading from a back up. I'm honestly just confused.

[vagrant ledge]

check if you got any corrupted arktribe files in your save folder

[timber marsh]

what would I be looking for? what does the corrupted file look like

[austere rune]

i just set up a new server and my players are finding their engrams get refunded when they die... it's super weird, like they're getting a mindwipe every time... does anyone have any idea what can cause this? we are using mods but none of our mods are supposed to do this lol

[gleaming kite]

Tribe file corrupted in save games folder

[solemn zephyr]

Mod issue, not Ark specific

[vagrant ledge]

a normal arktribe file should be around 1-50kb a corrupted one can be a few hundred

[austere rune]

tbh that's part of why i'm asking here, i figured it might be, but i was hoping maybe someone had seen this issue before

[timber marsh]

the only one I have is 44kb? would I just delete the xxxxx.arktribe file? or is there something specific I should be looking for, there's also a xxxxxxx.tribebak file

[vagrant ledge]

44kb seems normal to me so might not be a corrupted file

[timber marsh]

I have no other idea why it's crashing, I wish the crash reports were of ANY help

[vagrant ledge]

Do you have any mods?

[timber marsh]

we've got a few, but the server was working fine with the mods we had prior, and we were able to launch the server world w/ mods in a single player game with the same world

[vagrant ledge]

going back to this is there only 1 arktribe file?

[timber marsh]

I have 1 arktribe file, but I also have a tribebak file as well

[grim dock]

Are there any servers that wipe every now and then and also have ORP?

[vagrant ledge]

How many players are there on the server and how many different tribes?

[timber marsh]

one tribe, 5 players.

[vagrant ledge]

What you can try and do is remove that file (can save it on your desktop for now) and then try to start the server

[timber marsh]

That actually did it, so it was a corrupted arktribe file. Thank you so much

Is there a known cause for it? also will we have to remake the tribe

[vagrant ledge]

Well then haha didnt rhink the file size could be that small for a corrupted file, I have only seen file around 300-400

[timber marsh]

Yeah, that's what I found when looking up stuff before coming here

[vagrant ledge]

Dont use the ping mechanic that the only thing I know of, and if you are lucky you dont have to do a new tribe

[timber marsh]

the pings are what causes it??? that's really unfortunate. I thought it was command related

[autumn spade]

If someone had the game.ini from ASE I could use that.

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah think someone here mentioned it, think its the rally point you can set out on the map

[vagrant ledge]

The normal ping seems to work tho, atleast for me and my tribe, but to be safe maybe dont use that either

[timber marsh]

It looks like it's just the rally points from what I've seen, and it's a known issue.

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah then normal pings should work without issues but you never know haha

[timber marsh]

thank you for your help, I was losing my mind.

[vagrant ledge]

No worries glad I could help

[stoic owl]

is there any goos high pop servers rn

#1110925695900713072

[random path]

Anyone know of a pve server that is exactly official rates and style?

[wise kindle]

Ok but just so ya know, this is the channel where folks go for settings and configuration advice. Not the best place to ask 😉

[robust ore]

It says Unofficial Discussion?

[rustic depot]

🗿

[robust ore]

Wouldnt settings and configuration advice be bobs with probs?

[wise kindle]

Keep reading the description 😉

[leaden hedge]

This is for unofficial setup specifically.

No server ads or recruitment outside of the appropriate channels, thanks.

[robust ore]

not even asking for advice about unofficial servers?

[leaden hedge]

Please read the channel topic.

[robust ore]

Im far from the only one misunderstanding the title of the channel though, should probably rename it to make it more clear.. im not gonna read the fineprint on every channel if its not clear what it is from the getgo

but whatever, ill look elsewhere

[leaden hedge]

Yep, it could do with a name change for sure. We've already taken down that suggestion, thanks.

[burnt cave]

So my server restarts daily. Some things my players have noticed is that the restart resets the claim timer for abandoned structures (tribes that no longer play on the server). This is a PVP server with ORP enabled. Is there a setting that is causing this or just a current bug?

[wise kindle]

Its a bug. Mine does this on PVE as well.

[burnt cave]

Ok thanks for confirming

[analog bridge]

Anyone that owns a server and could help me guide through where I need to look to find cause for "slow frame detected 300ms"? I see no spikes in cpu, ram or disk usage so I'm not sure why this would come about.

[nimble talon]

Is that on the server? I thought that was a client thing

[stark idol]

Can anyone explain me how to install mods correctly? when i add activemods="idhere" in gameusersettings and -mods="idhere" in commandline it wont load the mods

[harsh forge]

have you tried without the quotes?

I'm not using quotes and it's working fine

[analog bridge]

when I'm admin on the server i get those messages, i assumed it was server related since i had to be admin

[harsh forge]

This is tick delay. Nothing super concerning unless it's spamming or the number gets too high.

When my world saves, there's a 750ms slow frame.

there's also some spam right after server load, but it goes away withing a minute or two

[analog bridge]

Yeah it's only about 400ms at times, but it seems that after the 2 most recent updates, im sort of lagging about when running, looks almost network related but I'm connected on LAN so it shouldn't be the issue :/

[stark idol]

im not using quotes, it was just for example my bad xD

[latent yarrow]

Anyone knows how to access admin commands on a dedicated server? I am a first time server hosted and have figured out pretty much everything except that through various videos and google searches, however I cannot get admin commands to enable. I have admin logging true as well as admin password in the Gus.ini, and also have the admin password in the batch file. Any help would be appreciated

[lunar cloud]

any of you have issues with rcon running a basic broadcast but getting Server received, But no response!! ?

all other commands work

[stark idol]

broadcasts dont work

[autumn eagle]

We are still waiting on a flyer speed fix right?

[wise kindle]

It should be fixed. Its fixed on my maps.

[autumn eagle]

I’ve been out of town for a few days so I haven’t been on. Appreciate the answer!

[wise kindle]

np the fix came with the last update

[woven linden]

Depending on where you put the admin password on the command line of the batch file it can cause an issue signing in. Found out the hard way here. I just removed it and kept it only in the INI file. If you do want it on the command line it needs to be the last of the block of text.

So instead of this: ServerPassword=<join_password>?ServerAdminPassword=<admin_password>?Port=<port>
You'd be sure to do this ServerPassword=<join_password>?Port=<port>?ServerAdminPassword=<admin_password>

If you look at the INI file you will see it as a long string of text that is not just the password.

I updated the wiki page with that change just in case someone else copy/pastes the wiki instructions. Hopefully it's right, it seemed to be the problem I was hitting and someone else here helped me figure that out. 🙂

[nimble talon]

Yea I've noticed weird stutters with the latest update

[frail ferry]

can we get cluster IDS plz

[lofty sedge]

I wish

[astral mulch]

Is there a fix for mods saying invalid and not being able to update yet? Also causes crash??

[frigid badger]

Any fix to the black hole at 50/50? We'd hoped the updates that dropped would've fixed it but we're still getting structures tping there...

[mental jewel]

Any idea how to link the buildid to the version number?

[cloud sorrel]

mod creators have to update their mods after WC releases new builds... some are not as fast as others... i would not run mods in this turbulent beginning because too many updates for modders to keep up with

[astral mulch]

nah gang the mods and stuff are working just fine for my friend witb the same mods on the same server

[latent yarrow]

I’ve tried that already and still doesn’t work. Both with it at the end of the batch command and removing it from there and it just being in the ini

[cloud sorrel]

well then there is a problem on your end if they are proven to work good luck

[humble thicket]

I know this is unofficial but does anyone know why on ASA, official servers are unclickable for me? I wanted to get a official server but I can't even seem to click it.

[brittle canyon]

Anyone have a script that will automatically save and restart a dedicated server?

[somber kestrel]

Try removing the "ServerAdminPassword" from the command line in the .bat oh sorry I didn't see you had already tried that

[latent yarrow]

I’ve tried that as well with no success

[somber kestrel]

when I had that issue my problem was that I had extra arguments after the "ServerAdminPassword=(password)", probably not your problem though

[latent yarrow]

Yeah I have it as the last bit in the command. I’ve removed it from the batch file and just have it in the ini. Pretty much all the common solutions I’ve tried.

[somber kestrel]

Yeah that sucks. I have it in the middle of my command line and at the bottom of the [ServerSettings] in the GUS. If yours is the same as that you really shouldn't be having the issue :(

[olive sleet]

Are you running the server now and trying to add it through restarting the server, or is the server currently shutdown and you are still setting it up?

[somber kestrel]

The only way I've found to save the server is with admin commands. Not sure if there's another way to do it, since Ascended doesn't seem to have an outside console. I just do enablecheats (password) and cheat doexit whenever we're done

[median fossil]

Ascended supports RCON, sorry if this has been discussed I just jumped in here and saw your message, if you go to the GUS ini and add “RCONEnabled=True” and “RCONPort=27020” (or whatever port you want to use) you can connect with whatever the admin password in your ini is. Just don’t edit the ini when the server is running or no changes will take effect

[floral flower]

Any tips? I've added -mods=900062 in launcher .bat and Activemods=900062 to gameusersettings and yet the server won't add the mods. I'm trying to set up an ASA server

[neon portal]

Can I see a game.ini file from someone. People claim our dino's have more melee then they should have with their points. But all I boosted a bit should be weight gain each lvl invested after tame.

[floral flower]

i use ARK remote admin, same i used on ark evolved, its works fine, can setup messages, timed mens and etc

[north pier]

Can you share any specific examples?

[olive sleet]

Here's my Dino health stats for my server. I believe this is pretty close to vanilla but very slightly boosted.

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[0]=0.14
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[0]=0.43```

Also **make sure** that `bUseSingleplayerSettings=` in `Game.ini` is **False**, as this messes with a lot of stats.

[somber kestrel]

mine are the exact same as her's^

[neon portal]

Any chance you cn share it for stats number 8? That's the melee lines.

[olive sleet]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[8]=0.14
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[8]=0.4```

Health and Melee are the only stats I've changed as well

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[8]=1
Wild just for clarity

[neon portal]

Mine are basically the same. 🤔 Must be in their head. Tyvm! @olive sleet

[olive sleet]

Hahaha no problem

[marble estuary]

anyone know why if you do instant levels it only shows a low number of level ups even though you can get to max? I have instant leveling on my server and it works weird now

This didn't work. The drops just vanish a few seconds after they spawn... can anyone shed a light on the issue?

[zealous dragon]

Would anyone be able to confirm if this game.ini option works in asa?
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamedQuetz_Character_BP_C[9]=1.2
It supposedly works on ase for altering the attributes of specific dino classes.

Or is
TamedDinoClassSpeedMultipliers=(ClassName="Quetz_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=1.2)
the only option?

[cosmic urchin]

Does anyone know how to enable admin commands on their Nitrado server? I looked it up and it says just add your steam ID but I don't see where to add it.

[humble thicket]

You can set an admin password on your server setup in the General section. Then run enablecheats PASSWORD in the command bar when you're in your server 🙂

[cosmic urchin]

Ok we have a password set and I'm in the server trying to use the command but it isn't doing anything as far as I can tell

The server has been reset since the password was made

[humble thicket]

It won't tell you it worked, test it by doing cheat fly

[cosmic urchin]

oh snap

lets gooo! Thanks very much!

[humble thicket]

No problem! Have fun 🙂

HELP! I can't increase the max wild dino level for my ASA server 😔 I followed the guide posted by Nitrado and did everything they recommended but I'm still seeing dinosaurs capped at 150 and below even though my DifficultyOffset is 2.7142 and OverrideOfficialDifficulty is 10.0. Does anyone have any advice?

I've already ran the cheat DestroyWildDinos command to wipe all existing NPCs

[cosmic urchin]

Followup question: My friends and I want to unlock the tek binoculars before killing the very last boss. I used the cheat command from the ASA wiki ||cheat unlockengram "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Engrams/EngramEntry_TekBinoculars.EngramEntry_TekBinoculars'"|| and nothing is happening. I then used the command to just give me the item which it did but said I need to the engram to use it. Is it because I haven't taken down any bosses yet?

[rich cloak]

\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows
**GameUserSettings.ini**
[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10

**Game.ini**
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
MaxDifficulty=false```

[humble thicket]

Oh I have to switch off MaxDifficulty in Game.ini?

[rich cloak]

good question, do you? if it is set to "True" then it over rides the 10 you have set and sets it to 5 which = 150 max level

[humble thicket]

Ah I had no idea haha, that seems like a counter-intuitive setting

I'll test the settings you've given, restart the server and wipe all wild dinos. I'll give you an update if it works 🙂 In case it does, thank you in advance!

[rich cloak]

Well it works for me and others

[humble thicket]

Are you using Nitrado as well?

[rich cloak]

Not anymore since I completed my own hardware setup, but I used my settings and my Save from my Nitrado Server

[humble thicket]

Oh cool! Well, good job on that, it's more than what I would be able to accomplish haha

[rich cloak]

Keep in mind, that even with those settings, the Wild Spawn curve is weighted to the lower levels, so you will have look around a good bit to find spawns over 250

[humble thicket]

Anything above that dreadful 150 cap is fair game to myself and my friends 😓

[rich cloak]

I feel it is good the over 250 are not too easy to find also

[humble thicket]

Yippee, it worked!

First dino I spot is a 230 🙂 Thank you ever so much, and I hope you have a wonderful day 🙏

[rich cloak]

You also, and a great weekend

[humble thicket]

And you!

[lyric python]

Are there any way to not have mods update automatically? Its so annoying that some mod updates are broken and deletes our players' stuff and such. Would be much better if we could do it manually

[rich cloak]

That depends entirely on who is running your server, and if it is Nitrado? well, good luck?

[lyric python]

No lol thank F that it isnt Nitrado. Is it possible to do if we're hosting ourselves?

[rich cloak]

yes, just do not run the "+app_update"

In my case, it is a check box to uncheck

[lyric python]

Ty!

[rich cloak]

Err actually a box to check that says "Disable Update on Server Start" the needs to be checked

but there are multiple ways people are dealing with that matter

ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_C",MinItemSets=1.000000,MaxItemSets=1.000000,NumItemSetsPower=1.000000,bSetsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,bAppendItemSets=True,bAppendPreventIncreasingMinMaxItemSets=True,ItemSets=((MinNumItems=1.000000,MaxNumItems=1.000000,NumItemsPower=1.000000,SetWeight=1.000000,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1.000000,MinQuantity=1.000000,MaxQuantity=1.000000,MinQuality=1.000000,MaxQuality=1.000000,bForceBlueprint=False,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0.000000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItem_WeaponElectronicBinoculars"),ItemsWeights=(1.000000))))))
This didn't work. The drops just vanish a few seconds after they spawn... can anyone shed a light on the issue?

[manic coral]

check a few messages above your question, Grabby LaToosh answered a similar question and i guess you can calculate the rest yourself 😄

[proper egret]

I just bought a nitrado server, but I cant find my server in the search. I even tried adding it via ip on the steam server thingy but its showing that theres no server there? I havent changed any of the settings I just started it a bit ago, got these logs

[rich cloak]

I suggest heading on over to the Nitrado Discord

[celest halo]

It will never show in the steam server thingy, it uses EOS not steams networking. In game list if you have a password set you need to check the box to show servers with passwords

[proper egret]

ah thats good to know ty, I do have the setting ticked yea, it also is vanilla so has no password

im gonna give it a bit more time and if it still doesnt work ill check out the nitrado discord ty

[woven linden]

Thank you so much for the channel name change. 🎉

[undone hearth]

Hello everyone, has anyone solved the riddle of how to make mutton turn into a stack

[quartz nova]

Is there a mod yet that fully replicates Dino storage v2 and the pull/move items to storages from S+?

[nimble talon]

Pelayori's cryo pod mod is pretty close to DS and there's one called "puller" for pulling items

[frozen basin]

Hey guys, anyone know what is the limit ? 25GB/30GB/35GB ?? or what
Enabled an out of memory protection for servers. In the event that a server reaches an excessive amount of memory, the world will be forced saved and the server will be restarted to prevent crashes or rollbacks
Server will simple restart or there is any countdown ?

[celest halo]

Don't know and unofficial don't even have that patch yet

[rich cloak]

Ya, that is not yet released to "Public"

[quartz nova]

Is there one that has s+'s hand terminals that lets you automatically share bullets to turrets?

[woven linden]

Good question. My first guess would be that once it detects OOM errors it would then do that behavior, though that could be tricky as saving and restarting might not occur if they hit an OOM when trying to do those tasks.

[olive talon]

@opal flare this channel is for setup help, you can use this channel for help with coding.

The modding channel is for creating mods.

[rich cloak]

OOM? Everquest? "Out of Mana"?

[woven linden]

Out Of Memory.

[rich cloak]

Ya, i know lol, but the reference made me chuckle

[woven linden]

Oh, LOL Just wanted to be sure, not as many folks might know.

[brittle canyon]

In a way, I suppose you could consider electricity a form of Mana.

[rich cloak]

Is anyone using "White Listing" on a dedi? is it working?

[brittle canyon]

I've tried setting up a whitelist, but haven't been able to get it to work.

[rich cloak]

I will try later today

[brittle canyon]

Thanks! This helped. Ended up grabbing ARKON.

[brittle canyon]

Let me know if you get it to work! 😄

[celest halo]

Have not tried whitelisting but got admin list to work

[rich cloak]

Hmm, well that is a plus

[brittle canyon]

Oh? That's another one I haven't got working yet. What'd you have to do for the admin list?

[rich cloak]

both are just a matter of using a steam/64 ID

Nitrado how ever is not yet supporting it, But I am on my own hardware

[brittle canyon]

Ah, may work for the admin list then. The issue I had with the whitelist was that the server files never read the whitelist file.

Also self hosting a dedicated server.

[celest halo]

Add AdminListURL="url.to.txt.file" in GUS, then in that file put the id that's shows when someone connects to the server in the server console window

[brittle canyon]

Oh, awesome! Thank you!

[rich cloak]

Just paste this in to googlefoo >> how to get my steam 64 id

[celest halo]

It's not a steam 64 id

Server uses EOS networking not steams networking

[brittle canyon]

Also, incase anyone needs a startup bat file, this one I wrote has been working well. Will update and relaunch the server whenever it closes/crashes.

echo (%time%)[Checking for updates]
start /B /WAIT "" C:\Ark\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\asa +login Anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate -logout +quit 

echo (%time%)[Starting ASA]
start "ASA_TheIsland" /HIGH /WAIT C:\asa\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Ark server#112345"?ServerAdminPassword=123456?MaxPlayers=20?port=7777?ShowFloatingDamageText=True? -mods=933099 -AutoManagedMods -NoHangDetection -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs
echo (%time%) WARNING: ASA closed or crashed, restarting...

timeout /t 30

GOTO ASAStart```

And for server backups, configure a windows task to run this bat file ever hour, or whenever you want for server backups to run.

start /B /WAIT "" 7z a -r "C:\asabackups\ASA_TheIsland_%DATE:~-4%.%DATE:~4,2%.%DATE:~7,2%._%TIME:~0,2%.%TIME:~3,2%.%TIME:~-5%_Backup".7z C:\asa\ShooterGame\Saved\ 

[celest halo]

That could be trouble auto update after a crash

[rich cloak]

I never allow an update unless I run it myself intentially

[brittle canyon]

True, though haven't run into an issue yet. I also keep a backup copy a version or two behind as just in case.

[woven linden]

That first script works? A "start" normally creates a separate context, so I'm not sure how it would work, I would think it would just keep looping trying to spin up a new instance of the server. A start normally doesn't wait and you can't get an exit code.

[brittle canyon]

The start waits with the /WAIT command and will not progress until that process exits.

[sterile osprey]

Did you write a restart warning in there and if so how?

[woven linden]

Sorry, I just saw that. Need more ☕ 😂

[brittle canyon]

It runs only after the server has been shutdown. For restart warning, I'd use RCON and something like ARKON to set a scheduled restart message and shutdown the server.

[woven linden]

I suppose it won't know if you just exited normally though would it? Maybe get an exit code? Or maybe my brain needs more coffee. LOL

Like say you were manually exiting the server.

[sterile osprey]

I'll check it out thank you

[brittle canyon]

That sounds possible. I'd need to do some reading on if the exit code is returned with start and if I can store and check the value.

[woven linden]

Well thank you regardless, that's helpful script code for sure.

[rich cloak]

Batch file writing, a lost art these days mostly

[brittle canyon]

True... though if you want to make money with lost arts... learn Cobalt. 😄

[rich cloak]

Do you have a good Autoexec and Config sys for me? I need to optimize my Queem

[woven linden]

LOL

[brittle canyon]

lol. 😄

[woven linden]

Don't forget those registries!

[rich cloak]

Getting the Token Ring drivers loaded is a nightmare

[celest halo]

Never played with cobalt, but did know TCL (most people don't even know what it is) back in the day 🤣

[brittle canyon]

I grew up with an Apple II in the house as a young child. Them 5 and a half inch floppies was fun. Was too young to program at the time, but did have one program that allowed me to draw things by giving it math formulas and command loops.

[brittle canyon]

Ah, tool command language... never did work with that one myself. Not even sure what it was primally used for.

[rich cloak]

I am still a child, just not young

[celest halo]

I used it mostly for IRC eggdrop bots

[brittle canyon]

Our brightest minds and best researchers are simply children that never learned how to grow up. Always inquisitive minds.

[woven linden]

I can't even remember which my first was, but Apple II was likely close to it. May have either been a Timex Sinclair (membrane keyboard and don't bump that memory expansion or else poof), maybe a tsr 80. Pretty sure I'm hitting OOMs in the brain. 😂

[woven linden]

Same

[rich cloak]

ok, we best drop the Off topic or a MOD will get angered

[celest halo]

But tcl could also be used for web applications

And it was cross platform 🤣

[woven linden]

Is it possible to "freeze" a world on a server so I can just go around it and time doesn't pass? I could do something with saves, but I just want to free fly around and check out the map in preparation for another server we'll join. Just want to keep the world as is, my daughter and I play on it.

[rich cloak]

Have never seen such a thing

[brittle canyon]

Lookup the playersonly command.

It's also really simple to backup the saves folder and restore that to before messing with anything.

[rich cloak]

Hmm thats interesting

[brittle canyon]

Also, one more small ARKON command I'm setting up for world restarts...

wait 240
serverchat [Server] Server restart in 1 minute...
wait 50
serverchat [Server] Server restart in 10 seconds...
saveworld
wait 10
exit```
Edit: broadcast is borked... serverchat suggested until fixed.

[woven linden]

I've done it for other games, but wasn't sure the process for ark as it has multiple save files. Is there a good read on how to do that? I back up but haven't tried to restore.

Luckily I haven't "had" to restore yet... just jinxed myself I'm sure. 😂

[celest halo]

I just backup the save folder

[woven linden]

Same but wasn't sure which files to put back. All of them?

[rich cloak]

minuets = minutes

[celest halo]

I have taken the world file and player file from my dedicated and loaded them locally before also, just have to rename the player file

[brittle canyon]

Bah... can't even link to previous posts. 😦

[woven linden]

Uh, oh... got caught. 😂

Yeah, that's weird.

[celest halo]

Nope can only post links from the ark GG wiki

[brittle canyon]

Anyways...

7z a -r "C:\asabackups\ASA_TheIsland_%DATE:~-4%.%DATE:~4,2%.%DATE:~7,2%._%TIME:~0,2%.%TIME:~3,2%.%TIME:~-5%_Backup".7z C:\asa\ShooterGame\Saved\

The C:\asa\ShooterGame\Saved\ folder has all the saved game data and whatnot... just make a copy and then overwrite with the backup to load.

[celest halo]

I do all, but probably could get away with the world file, and tribe/player files

[woven linden]

But I did get the backup command, just wasn't sure if I could just copy that entire folder back and be good. Thank you for the information as now I'm a bit less paranoid about a restore. LOL

[rich cloak]

I have my Synology box make a complete VM backup daily, just in case

[woven linden]

Mine is a powershell version as I do that a lot at work now so I know it better. LOL Heck was using it even before it was publicly available. 😂

[brittle canyon]

Love using powershell. 😄

Makes my day job easier... and apparently the rest of my admin team can't use it very well... Or I should say they struggle more than I do. 😦

[woven linden]

There is a "watch" command for powershell if you want to get clever, though have it wait a bit after it sees new files.

[celest halo]

Right now I'm not making any backups, all my ASE scripts where for Linux

[woven linden]

Yeah, even with all the years I struggle now and then. 😂

[brittle canyon]

Hmm... if that's the case... could watch the main ark world file and backup after it's been written to?

[rich cloak]

I have a PS for to backup all of my games that have a local save, many many headaches resolved with that

[woven linden]

Yeah, I haven't fully implemented it yet, let me see if I can find what I started to test with.

[young temple]

im using windowsgsm and my asa version doesnt seem to update to today patch

[celest halo]

My Linux scripts used to make hourly backups and tar.gz them so they didn't take up as much space lol

[nimble talon]

That's because it's not out yet on the public branch

[brittle canyon]

Once working, that'd save a lot of disk space! Would also like to implement backup cleanups as they age out. 1 day: when game saves, 2-3 days, hourly, 4+ days, once a day

[celest halo]

That's what I did I would keep 36 hourly backups

[nimble talon]

https://steamdb .info/app/2430930/depots/

[celest halo]

But that was with ASE that ran on Linux without using proton

[woven linden]

I don't remember where I ended with this as I moved on from it but here's some "watcher" code using PS.

Get-EventSubscriber | Unregister-Event
$watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
$watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = $true
$watcher.Path = 'C:\TestFileWatcher'
$watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $true


$action = {
    $path = $event.SourceEventArgs.FullPath
    $changetype = $event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
    Write-Host "$path was $changetype at $(get-date)"
}
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher 'Created' -Action $action
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher 'Changed' -Action $action
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher 'Deleted' -Action $action
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher 'Error' -Action $action
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher 'Disposed' -Action $action
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher 'Renamed' -Action $action

#$null = New-Item -path 'C:\FolderWhereStuffChanges\file.txt' -ItemType File
#Get-EventSubscriber | Unregister-Event

I think one issue I ran into was with how the game I was trying to use it for was doing saves. They were doing it in a weird way that made that code harder to make work. They have since changed how they did saves as it was causing problems. LOL

[nimble talon]

So is save world the way you write it in ARKON? Cuz saveworld doesn't do anything for mine

[brittle canyon]

Hmm... using folder watcher there. May want to change it to monitor only a single file as the main .ark file is really the only one you care about.

[brittle canyon]

Yes, using it in ARKON. And it should be 'saveworld' without the space. I typoed there.

[woven linden]

Right, was just some messing around with it, didn't quite finish it and moved on.

You don't need all those events, was testing which ones did what.

[celest halo]

I don't even use save world, it does saves every 15min on its own, and doing exit in servers console window does a save before shutting down

[nimble talon]

Yea mine says it's set to 15 minutes, but those ark files are at least an hour and a half apart

[celest halo]

Or a doexit in rcon

[nimble talon]

Oh I use Quit, figured they both do the same thing

[brittle canyon]

Yeah, that does work. Though the issue with the autosave is when you want to give the players online a headsup when the game saves as sometimes it may lag while saving.

[celest halo]

The dated backups are like every 2 hours, the 15min save is on the main world file

The do backup command that worked with ASE I could not get to work with ASA

[nimble talon]

So for this command you wrote out, if you RKON the quit command will it restart automatically?

I really need to learn CMD and PS, but I work mainly with linux shit at work lol

[brittle canyon]

Yes, if I have it exit via the RCON, the .bat file I have will restart it.

[celest halo]

We just need the Linux binaries like we had for ASE 🤣

[nimble talon]

Sweet, is there a way to hide that giant ass console? lol

[brittle canyon]

If it wasen't for widows still having the stability in terms of running games, I'd be running linux 24/7 :S

[nimble talon]

Oh nah, it's RDP for me, that's why mine is Windows server :D, that and shares are so much easier to setup lol

[celest halo]

ASA is only game server I have on Windows, all my other ones are on Linux

[brittle canyon]

Having good GUIs makes things much easier... for example, unraid shares which can be setup for mac, linux or windows. 😄
Edit: Actually, I think they took out the mac shares recently. 🤷‍♂️

[celest halo]

I don't use GUI for my game servers normally

[nimble talon]

No doubt on that, some of the guys at work know linux inside and out, boggles my mind to see them type out commands off the top of their head, I don't have the storage in my brain for that, but I know the spongebob song

[celest halo]

My ASE cluster I made ansible playbooks to control the cluster

[brittle canyon]

Yeah, don't need GUI for a dedicated server. But is nice to have a GUI to manage said server. Being able to see information at a glance rather than having to enter various commands to pull it is a timesaver.

[nimble talon]

ASM controls mine, the person that made it is doing god's work for sure

[nimble talon]

There's zero information on the ASA Gui though

[celest halo]

Yeah, mine was on Linux vms so no ASM for me

[brittle canyon]

Yes, but info is available via the RCON.

[nimble talon]

It's pretty awesome, sets up scheduled tasks for updates and restarts, and everything is hidden too

[brittle canyon]

Indeed! Can't wait until someone ports this to ASA.

[celest halo]

I had that in playbooks, also had a playbook to install a new VM on my box and install/setup a new ark map

Just hit play and it would ask for map name, then set it all up and install all the mods I was use, and make the NFS shares and cronjobs for doing backups

[nimble talon]

So is this normal to see in ARKON when you do a broadcast? "[09:51:42] Server received command but the command had no response."

[celest halo]

Also made a discord bot that would let me do dino wipes and server shutdowns lol, and send server messages

[celest halo]

Don't know if broadcast works I use serverchat

[sterile osprey]

Is anyone seeing structures randomly spawning in the air? Idk if this is a setting I put on by accident or something

[woven linden]

Curious how hard it would be to hit the port and do commands with powershell. Might have to investigate how RCKON works.

[rich cloak]

at 50 / 50 yes, known issue

[sterile osprey]

No known fix I'm guessing

[woven linden]

Likely if null, put at 0,0 which translates to 50,50. LOL

[celest halo]

Should not be hard, I use rcon through Python for my discord bot

[rich cloak]

Some people use Admin and remove them

[woven linden]

I meant without RCON at all, likely it's just an API that has some standards... I hope.

But good to know.

[barren swan]

It's a pretty common protocol, there's already a powershell implementation most likely. "Source RCON Protocol"

[pine karma]

Anyone else experiencing a lot of stuttering when walking the past few days?

[celest halo]

Valve has a thing on "source rcon protocol" with info on packed sizes and all that

[rich cloak]

It is called "Rubber Banding" and yes, server needs a reboot

[woven linden]

TIL Thank you both. I just assumed it was something specific to Ark. LOL For some reason thought RCON was a play on ArkOn. 😂

[celest halo]

Nope there is valves source rcon, then there is a battleye rcon protocol also. I don't know of many games that use the battleye version

[woven linden]

Now to go and OVER engineer something... 😂

[celest halo]

Most games I have delt with that use rcon use the source version

[high coyote]

so anyone else havnt problems with going into caves and crashing?

[sterile osprey]

Is that happening to everyone on the server or just you?

[high coyote]

everyone

[brittle canyon]

Yeah, caves are unusally lag heavy as you load/unload resources from entering/exiting.

I think all the stacked resources within also add to it... little tip: Take a theri to the easy cave, raise it inside and have it gather berries and whatnot. 😄

[woven linden]

Oh wow, not thought about that for babies! Great idea.

[candid jay]

Was there a Dino damage decrease ? My players are saying a spino that did 600 damage now does 300. Checked single player and seems maybe this is the case ?

[brittle canyon]

Water buff applied or not?

Also, there is now directional damage. So head shots do more.

[candid jay]

Don’t think so. Tried with a Rex as well

[woven linden]

Also, I think... yeah what Zanna said.

[candid jay]

I did notice the directional also

Tried with a Rex with 750 damage and it was doing 255 only and once randomly it did 1450 damage lol . Didn’t seem right

[woven linden]

Maybe it's a nod to Mortal Kombat fatality moves?

[candid jay]

lol

[bleak sinew]

This is a question for modded ASE servers. If I swap from Chief Stacks 500 to Chief Stacks Large will players lose all the stacked items they had before the change?

[brittle canyon]

Can't answer that as not familair with how those mods change the stacks. Backup the server and test it.

Typically though, it would make anyone lose items that are modified by a specific mod.

You also don't need mods to change stack sizes.

[pliant wharf]

Anywhere to promote my unofficial server?

[raven hull]

How do I ban players using their Steam ID on Asa? Do I just put the ID and apply? Does the old banplayer id work?

[celest halo]

ASA don't use the steam id

[brittle canyon]

GUS.ini: ItemStackSizeMultiplier=100.000000

Game.ini

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_CookedPrimeMeat_Fish_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_CookedPrimeMeat_Jerky_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

[celest halo]

Easy way is to do showmyadminmanager and click on the person and hit ban

[brittle canyon]

The ID is also shown when a player joins the server.

[bleak sinew]

@brittle canyon Thanks for the reply. I want to make a suggestion on the server we are playing on because OMG we have a 10x harvest with vanilla stacks basically. Like you hit a tree once and you are encumbered.. it's getting to a point where it is really annoying. Even dinos get encumbered after harvesting one node or tree so I'm just trying to find a solution to this problem.

[brittle canyon]

Ah, then you also want to use the game settings I mentioned above, but also modify the player and dino weight scaling.

Dino weight:

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=50.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[7]=10.0```
