unofficial-setup-help

[bleak sinew]

Those might be useful suggestions too if they don't want to change the mod.

[celest halo]

Change weight scale so each point gives more weight or lower harvest amounts

[brittle canyon]

I believe this one is the player's weight:

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=15.0```

The one quark with modifying stacks with the vanilla ini settings is that if you enter and then exit creative mode your weight is reset to 100 until you respawn at a bed or somewhere.

[raven hull]

Is there any way to convert the steam id to this ASA id? I wanted to ban problematic ASE players

[brittle canyon]

showmyadminmanager or pull the EOS ID from the server logs when they connect. Steam IDs are not used.

So all the old ASE ban lists are no longer valid, and I'm pretty sure there's no way to convert to the new ID as it's a new platform.

[wheat cypress]

is there an ASA server settings manager to make changing the settings on a self hosted easier?

[brittle canyon]

No, not yet that I'm aware of. There's the ASM manager and a lot of the settings are identical on ASA. So you could use that to create the file and copy it over to the right ASA server folder.

[wheat cypress]

thanks. i was reading that creating the local server and then copying the GUS and Game.ini lines is a good start

just wanted something that had a little more explinations lol

[ruby merlin]

Beacon works with ASA it's what I use to change around

[robust junco]

Funny how they update official but always leave us unnofficial behind.

[wise kindle]

Beacon makes settings changes alot easier. Highly recommend it.

[ruby merlin]

@robust junco I get the feeling they are doing a good few patches official then stripping what we don't need and releasing to be quicker

Keeps us from having all the bad they keep getting

[robust junco]

Doesn't change how for months they implied it was going to be same version across the bored all the time. And now it never is and two consoles can't even play.

[wise kindle]

Agreed. Official is getting the test lab treatment. Definitely wouldnt assume that every update they get is good.

[wheat cypress]

is there a weight setting?

[robust junco]

Yeah but your better off using a stacking mod with reduced weight

If you don't already know how to code it

[ruby merlin]

@robust junco sometimes in the development world things don't work out like on paper

[wheat cypress]

item weight. would like to maybe take it 75% of the original though.

[wise kindle]

You would need to use a mod for that.

[robust junco]

Stacking mod reduces weight by 90%

[wheat cypress]

guess i gotta figure out how to get mods working then lol

[robust junco]

It's fairly easy just watch a five min YouTube tutorial

My server runs 64 mods with no issues

[wise kindle]

If reducing item weight is required then yeah. Unless you just want to increase carrying capacity, which also works without mods.

[ruby merlin]

@robust junco 64 mods I found 20 that's usefull what yhe hell u got in it

[robust junco]

Hopefully nitrado adds the ability to change mod order soon

[wise kindle]

Im kinda curious too. Im at 19 and pretty much set.

[ruby merlin]

And most usefull automatic doors mods

[robust junco]

You think that's a lot I seen one server with 6.5 GB of mods mine is only 3.7gb

[brittle canyon]

See my comments earlier today on a .bat file startup for ASA, has mods option there. Also, you can edit stack size and player/dino carry capacity via the ini settings as well. Examples also available if you scroll up.

[ruby merlin]

That's crazy

[wise kindle]

Oh been meaning to try. Any issues? Does it clash with the dwarven build set?

[robust junco]

I have ones that add dinos back add new dinos add tons of furniture and garden shit and cryod and a admin menu and spyglasses incubator etc etc

Gender swap potions other potions and tons more.

[ruby merlin]

No issues it just gives u a build option to turn a door or gate auto like u change walls to windows

[robust junco]

On nitrado?

[wise kindle]

Oh so it changes it on placement? Hmmm I need to peek at that.

[robust junco]

I love that mod

[ruby merlin]

@wise kindle yeah on placement

[wise kindle]

Im worried it will clash with CKF and the dwarven build mod.

[ruby merlin]

@robust junco so what your saying is u have evrry mod so u don't even need to leave your base or play the game

[wise kindle]

CKF is kinda important to my players. They love that mod.

[ruby merlin]

@wise kindle if it does I'm sure u can just pull it out

[robust junco]

Not even. And way to mod shame bro

My rented server having mods you don't like doesn't affect you one bit buddy

[ruby merlin]

Hell I don't mind I'm on a one player server want me to check in a bit for u

Just msg me the mods u think will clash I'll check

@robust junco lol I'm just playing with you I forgot sarcasm doesn't come across text

[wise kindle]

The potions are op tho. Not going there. Id be done with the game in a week 😂

[robust junco]

Lol no it does not

@brittle canyon I can't find your comment about mod list in bat file anywhere could you possibly pm me it?

[woven linden]

Still not on unofficials when I looked a few minutes ago, but Jat does go a bit into the memory protection on Twitter/X.

And I already, along with someone else, asked about when we'll get it. 🙂

[wheat cypress]

well that was easy....

[robust junco]

@brittle canyonif this is it C:\asa\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="NameMyServer"?ServerAdminPassword=AdminPassHere?MaxPlayers=20?port=7777? -mods=928621 -AutoManagedMods

it doesnt work on nitrado because there is no binaries folder or anything like a bat file in it

[woven linden]

That trailing ? here port=7777? won't work, though maybe it ignores that? No idea if that is the issue though.

Ah, and I've forgotten how Nitrado does things.

[wheat cypress]

ok so it shows the mod, now what happens if the mod doesnt show up in game?

[wise kindle]

Whats the mod?

[wheat cypress]

automated ark

[near gulch]

Any good solo unofficial pvp servers?

[wise kindle]

Oof um you might want to join their discord. There is alot to that mod.

[wheat cypress]

yeah... lol

[wise kindle]

#1110925695900713072

[brittle canyon]

Ah, I'm using a self hosted dedicated server. Not familiar with the Nitrado configurations. But there, if there's an area for startup parameters, add in the -mods=modID and -automanagemods

[wheat cypress]

i might just disable it

[swift remnant]

anyone know ini command to get rid of eels?

[wise kindle]

I removed it as it does ALOT of things that can cause issues with other mods. It has some bugs to get fixed as well. Id hit up the discord for setup info.

[wheat cypress]

anyone know a good working weight and stacking mod then?

nevermind ill look lol

[nimble talon]

Does raw mutton still not stack?

[brittle canyon]

Haven't tested with the latest update.... but as of 2 updates ago it was still not stacking. 😦

[wise kindle]

Thats so weird. Mine started stacking out of the blue with 26.11. I changed nothing. Just the same standard stack ini changes as all the other assets. It seems to be working for some but not for others. I should mention I run no stack or automation mods (no automated ark), dont know if that makes a difference. Just added dinos and decor mods.

[regal halo]

Question for dedicated server owners: are there crash logs kept somewhere? I've had my server crashing frequently since installing a couple of mods and Id like to know where the issue comes from.

[native inlet]

anyone has a ase pve server (no mods) that i can join?

[regal halo]

Check the #1110925695900713072 channel. Lots of options in there

[nimble talon]

What is the string for your mutton?

[brittle canyon]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))
This is what I have currently... can't validate if it's working at the moment but will check when I get back to my Ark/gaming pc.

[solemn zephyr]

I do, search Relinquished

[solemn zephyr]

We tested this in detail today.... No mods and they don't stack. But add cryo mod or MANY other mods and magically they stack (not referring to any stack mods)

[native inlet]

do you have a discord server for it?

[solemn zephyr]

Yes, code Vanquished (Relinquished is the PvE, Vanquished is the name of the PvP) we offer a bunch of games

[vagrant ledge]

Should be saved in you saved folder I think but dont bothet, ark crash reports are useless you wont get anything from them

[vagrant ledge]

And I second this mutton stacking just started working a few updates ago

[robust junco]

Has anyone tried the taco bell admin command?
When I do showmyadminmanager there is a list of commands to scroll through and one says taco bell. I'm scared to try it like it might do something bad...

[vagrant ledge]

Does nothing, atleast nothing I have seen when I tried it

[robust junco]

Woulda been funny if it made the taco bell 🔔 sound serverwide

[vagrant ledge]

Was hoping for some chicken wings to fall from the sky but guess we cant have anything fun

[woven linden]

Maybe it orders taco bell and sends it to your house, or maybe a WC developers house?

[robust junco]

Highly doubt it

[woven linden]

Well you're no fun. 😂

[mortal heron]

Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000400000077

CL: 451632

Anyone else having this error? The Game is unplayable for me... It crashes every 5min whenever I enter Inventory or move things around... really bugging me off

[vagrant ledge]

You dont know unless you try it right

[woven linden]

Not enough information to say. Would need a call stack.

[robust junco]

Are you using mods

[mortal heron]

It crashed without mods too, but yet right now I'm using Mods

[vagrant ledge]

Try chaning some video settings, a few people on my server tried that and it started to get stable

[mortal heron]

cant insert the whole text here, dont have Nitro

[robust junco]

Yeah well if you remove mods it can break it

So you may have removed them after they were already integrated with the server and now youve corrupted the data

[woven linden]

Well, can't say what it is without more information. 🤷

[robust junco]

Same way it happens with Skyrim or fallout

[mortal heron]

It crashed back on release already. I thought after the hundred fixes, it finally works. But no it still crashes

[mortal heron]

cant insert the whole Text here, dont have Nitro

[robust junco]

Do you have dlss settings on in rtx tab

If so turn everything in that tab off

[wise kindle]

Probably the Cryopods by Pelayori is probably what does it then.

[mortal heron]

Well i cant run the game with 20fps if I turn off DLSS off

[robust junco]

Right I use super cryo storage and never have issues the other ones are broken

[mortal heron]

I changed many things, to low. The Game runs at 50-70fps depends on the location

[robust junco]

Than your PC is the problem

Should run perfect without those settings

Turn your graphics settings lower

Fatal error is usually on your end not the servers

[mortal heron]

playing SP

[robust junco]

Exactly

[mortal heron]

I have a friend with a 4090 and it still crashes. Dont tell me it's my PC xD

[woven linden]

Maybe even just the top of the call stack can help, it could be anything. Could have nothing to do with Ark and you're just hitting a section of bad memory on your PC due to the memory it uses. There's likely no way anyone is going to guess without more information.

[wise kindle]

No issues with this mod. This is in reference to the cryo mod FIXING mutton stacking. This mod weirdly fixes the issue. Zero issues with pods with Cryopods by Pelayori.

[mortal heron]

and its the EXACT SAME Error

[robust junco]

4090 doesn't mean shit if it's not updated properly. Are you trying a fresh save ea time or a save that had mods but now youve removed them?

If youve removed mods then that's the issue

[wise kindle]

I think you might be thinking Im complaining about pod issues and Im not 😂

[mortal heron]

havent tried a fresh save yet, kinda dont wanna lose 30h of Progress ^^

[robust junco]

If not idk what the cause is

Well that's the issue I've had to restart a few times because I removed a mod and it caused this and couldn't be fixed

It's typically removing them that causes it not adding them. Haven't had it once in the past week and have 63 mods in my server

[mortal heron]

And it crashed again^^ With RTX off

[robust junco]

Yeah it said device removed and so it disconnected the device removed is probably a mod.

[wise kindle]

Nope read up. Some mods oddly seem to fix stack issues. Ive had zero issues with stacking or pod mods.

[mortal heron]

hmm I'll backup my safe and try to start a new <.<

[regal halo]

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x0000000000000018 ... yup I agree with you, their error messages arent much help xD

[wise kindle]

Is this a server? What mods you running? There is a couple common mods that can cause crashes depending on use. Which ones you running?

[woven linden]

Definitely does look to be a rendering/video card type crash. Also, sometimes you need to restart Ark totally to get some things to update in the settings.

But a backup and rerun without mods does seem like a good thing to rule in/out.

[mortal heron]

Nah its SP. Current Mods I'm running are: Better Trough, Egg Collector, R+ Advanced, Utilities+, Big Storage Box, TG Stacking Mod 10k, Super Spyglass thats it

[wise kindle]

Yeah theres a couple that tax graphics yet. Curious if Ark Additions is running as well.

[mortal heron]

And as I said, I had these crashed on Release Day. Same Error, same message

Mods werent even a thing on release, other than the Additions and those werent installed cause idc about them

After some research, I thought it could be memory leak errors etc. but no

[wise kindle]

I guess it would be easier to see if you encountered this on single player without mods. This would fully isolate the issue.

[mortal heron]

Yea I'm backing up my safe and start a fresh run with no mods and will try to redo the Crash. Cause it's 90% of the time crashing only when I'm in Inventory for whatevers sake...

[woven linden]

Ah, turn off inventory animations.

[mortal heron]

I can even speed fly through the Map and the Game runs smooth

[mortal heron]

I did... even in Engine.ini

is it enough to backup "SavedArksLocal"?

[wise kindle]

Sounds good. If you are still seeing this in sp with no mods and your drivers are up to date, Id open bug with wildcard. Cuz it isnt something you should see with no other variables.

[robust junco]

It's probably the rtx settings it's been a known issue since release and they have them on

[mortal heron]

They are off in my settings^^ and still crashed

[robust junco]

Ok than maybe your ark installed wrong

[wise kindle]

Oh hmm. Yeah so be sure to try to reproduce the crash clean sp with no mods and no rtx. Thats pretty important.

It would further isolate the cause and make investigation easy for WC.

[robust junco]

Sorry if I sound rude or condescending. Text comes off with more tone than I really use lol.

Honestly just trying to help find the cause of the fatal error

[mortal heron]

not offended or anything:D I want this matter to be resolved. As for now it's running

[nova dome]

i had setup dedicated server on ascended that configured with admin password and make 「AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt」 .but i cant use cheat command. why?

[vagrant ledge]

Asa doesnt use steam id so you have to set up admins a different way, or you can logg in each time you hopp on your server

[slender shale]

I have 2 installs of dedicated server on my local machine. Updating it via Steam works fine for the first, it does not update the other. I assume because the first is in the default install location. How would I go about updating the other after a patch?

[vagrant ledge]

Make a batch file for updating with the right path to that server

[nova dome]

Please let me know if you have a page that can help me with another way to set up an administrator.

[vagrant ledge]

Im on my phone atm so cant check, but search on google for something. You set it up with github

[nova dome]

okey, try it.

[slender shale]

I only see info on an update batch file for linux. Do you happen to know the line for an update batch?

[brittle canyon]

start /B /WAIT "" C:\Ark\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\asa +login Anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate -logout +quit

Change the force_install_dir path for updating for each install. (Windows BAT above... adjust for linux)

[vagrant ledge]

Well there you go haha

[slender shale]

Ty both

[warm marten]

I'm setting up a server this weekend. What is the best OS to use for ASA? Windows, Windows Server, or Linux?

[vagrant ledge]

Glad someone els could get you the code as im on my phone atm so would not have been able to get it

[slender shale]

Is it just the "C:\asa" that would change to for example D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common If that is where the ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server folder is Or does it need to include the dedi server folder in the path also?

[vagrant ledge]

If i remember correctly you do need the server folder aswell

[slender shale]

hmm. it didnt like that.

nvm im a dum dum. I didnt have the steamcmd.exe in there....

appears to be doing things. hopefully its updating the correct server..

[vagrant ledge]

Hope it works for you!

[slender shale]

hmm... it created an "ark" folder beside the dedicated server folder with \steamapps\downloading\2430930. hopefully that is temp and it moves it after.

[sterile osprey]

Anyone know why water dinos would be spawning on land? Redwoods in particular

[wise kindle]

Likely a bad spawn with cave dinos (they spawn too high out of the cave beneath and die)

[sterile osprey]

So how would I fix that?

[wise kindle]

You dont. You wait for the fix from WC.

[brittle canyon]

I believe 50,50 is in the redwoods... if this is the location you are seeing the dinos, they may be bugged dino's that are automatically getting teleported to the center of the map.

[sterile osprey]

Ok so the same type of issue as before. Hm I was wondering if that's why I was crashing out. Or the server was crashing out rather.

[slender shale]

Nope it just downloaded a fresh dedi in the side folder.

I think what happened is the update batch didnt like there being spaces in the folder name of the install location. so '+force_install_dir D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server' Just turned into common\ark

[vagrant ledge]

Ohh yeah it does not like that

[slender shale]

I'll just move it all to the \ark then

[vagrant ledge]

Guess you can do that

[next kindle]

Hi, I have a problem setting the maxplayer, in the sense that I enter it in the commands when the server is launched and it doesn't change and always remains set by default to 70. I also tried changing it in the gameusersettings but to no avail. thx

[celest halo]

use -WinLiveMaxPlayers= in bat file

[next kindle]

ok tried it and it works I also removed the maxplayer from the bat file. Thank you

[lean anvil]

anyone know how to stop the server auto restarting when theres a mod update

[jovial idol]

Hi, someone have a real result to set up difficulty on a nitrado server 3 days tried nothing work, i probably doing a bad thing but im lost tbh.
I want wild dinos lvl 300

[rich cloak]

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

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

[jovial idol]

oh its probably the "maxdifficulty" on false was not setup

well i will try ty

yeah i just see he was on "true"

[rich cloak]

If MaxDifficulty is not there or set to True, it will over ride the OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 and default it to "5" which = Max level 150

[nocturne wolf]

Hello

I have a question. I want to create a dedicated server on pc for ps4 player, how can I do?

[dire relic]

Is anyone having trouble with the gryphon mod ?

[willow hull]

Any brand new unoffical server?

[sterile osprey]

Like what?

[rich cloak]

There are 2 Grif mods I am aware of, what is the specific issue

[dire relic]

It’s keep telling me out of date and I update it but it keeps kicking me tell me battle eye query

[rich cloak]

As i do not allow Battle Eye, nothing I can say about it

[stark idol]

Does anyone know if the other ports still work like 7779 7780 27016 ? im trying to get a second server up but it just wont show in browser, i have one up with the default ports and its showing up ( i opened all ports trough firewall and router )

[abstract gyro]

Is building decay timers messed up on other servers? like ours resets daily whether the person logs on or not

[rich cloak]

Those are Steam ports, the Dediserver exe uses the Epic network now

Also, opening ALL ports is very dangerous

[stark idol]

i meant the ports that i use for the server not all

thanks a lot for the info tho, are the epic ports the same as for evolved?

[rich cloak]

Is this on a Server OS?

[stark idol]

i have it on windows server 2022

[rich cloak]

And you installed the Cert?

[stark idol]

on a rented root server

i installed a cert for amazon

tbh im not a specialist in this, i just used to own some servers on ase but that seemed a little easier 😛

i usually always managed to google my way out of issues but rn its pretty hard to find any info on asa

[rich cloak]

Open up 443 UDP, that is for Epic

[stark idol]

should i set this as the server port as well?

[rich cloak]

nope

The new Epic stuff had me going in circles on Server 2022 for a few days

I am only running a single ASA instance right now, so i can not help past that, but I used to run a 8 map ASE cluster on a single VM

The fact there is not a single accurate and cohesive document for the new ASA dedi servers is dissapointing at the least

[stark idol]

i just opened the port but still isnt showing up for some reason, i dont get it tho as im running a server that is showing up so i just did the same thing as in ase with the ports for a seconds server they just left us with no info at all

[brittle canyon]

Here's my startup bat as an example.

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

[nimble talon]

So I have a user that is having issues logging in, and he thinks I should delete his save, which I'm all for, but uh, how the hell do I know which is his? SteamID obv isn't it anymore lol

[brittle canyon]

His new EOS ID would show when logging in. Maybe he has a previous login to the server in the logs?

[nimble talon]

Oh I see

[stark idol]

ok i think i got it to work, i installed another certificate from amazon and besides that i removed the query port from the commandline i dont know for sure which one fixed it

[rich cloak]

Ya, the Cert matter is a gotcha for many

[stark idol]

thanks a lot 🤟

[regal pebble]

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if there's a way to modify the server IP address when adding it to a listing in order to avoid exposing the actual IP address where the server is located. My goal is to only reveal the reverse proxy IP address that directs traffic to the server. Is there a way to achieve this?

[honest pine]

Hi All, I would like to change settings on our server, if possible, so that we can mesh building objects. Is this possible? If so, any resources you can point me towards would be much appreciated.

[harsh forge]

Proxy the outbond traffic from the server through the inbound proxy.

[harsh forge]

You are looking for bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True in the Game.ini

[regal pebble]

Does the server share itself IP address to "steam servers list" to show in ark Unofficial servers listing, or it look on from what ip address request be made to list server then?

[brittle canyon]

If you are hosting from home... not many options unless using an external proxy server. But if you are doing that, why not just host the server itself in a datacenter somewhere?

[honest pine]

Thank you!

[regal pebble]

Setting up reverse proxy server is not a problem. The problem is in a listing. On server startup, it adds itself to servers listing with itself IP address, but I want to modify this IP address

Maybe there is some configuration to change advertisement/listing IP address that be added to listings?

[brittle canyon]

I know there use to be an option for public ip... not sure if it works on asa...
-PublicIPForEpic=0.0.0.0

Would be added to the command line for starting the server if it works.

[regal pebble]

Thank you. But this argument seems like for Epic games, but I want to set up this for Steam. Please, note that I don't mean listen address argument. I mean argument that will modify server IP address that is added to section "Unofficial servers" in game itself.

[brittle canyon]

Steam is not used in ASA game listings. They are using Epic Online Services.

[regal pebble]

Ah, okay... Thank you for pointing this. I will try your argument

[celest halo]

server dont show in steam servers list at all, ASA does not use steam networking it uses EOS

[regal pebble]

What do you mean "EOS"

[celest halo]

Epic Online Services

[regal pebble]

This is as an argument for server startup or this parameter needs to be added to game server config file?

[celest halo]

that wont do anything with ASA

[regal pebble]

Do you know how to change this in ASA?

[lapis trench]

is making the distance for host barrier on multiplayer worlds bugged? my friend turns up the setting but it doesnt work

[ruby merlin]

yes u can set manual ports so u can run multiple servers i have had to because i run an ASE server too and uses same ports

also u will need this to run clusters later

[celest halo]

the ingame server list dont show ips

[regal pebble]

In your opinion, how players get connected to server from in-game server listing? Without ip address? Maybe I need to throw my knowledge into trash bin and poop on it?

[brittle canyon]

The IP addresss may not show... but anyone with some technical knowledge and identify what public IP address they are connecting to.

[ruby merlin]

wouldnt be so easy the game converts the connection to server name only its not like a web adress u can reverse lookup

most servers run on remote machines with incredibly strict users and passwords even if u could get the ip it wouldnt do u much use

[brittle canyon]

Open CMD and run redacted after connecting to a server. You'll quickly see that it doesn't matter if the name converts it to a "name only" or not...

[rich cloak]

Any experienced IT person can figure out the real IP, but not go9ing to go in to that in here

[brittle canyon]

And dedicated hosting can be ran on a home pc with none of hte usual datacenter/network protections.

[ruby merlin]

how many pc u think nowadays isnt firewalled and protected

[rich cloak]

@regal pebble I am curious what your concern is with the public IP being exposed?

[ruby merlin]

we dont live win 95 days

[celest halo]

i said it dont show it, didnt say they dont use an ip to connect

the ip the server uses to connect EOS is the one people will connect over

[brittle canyon]

You know, it's easier than you think to bypass a firewall... but not getting into that here. The person wants to setup a reverse proxy which is a good method of protecting a server and specific server address incase of bad actors.

[ruby merlin]

its not as easy as u think

anyway we are getting way off topic lets move on

[celest halo]

and EOS gets more info that it should, it gets ip server is told to bind to, ips server is bond to, and public ip server used to connect to EOS network

[rich cloak]

Excuse me, I have to step away and get my tin foil hat

[frail crescent]

What in the nerd lingo do these last patch notes mean?

[rich cloak]

Some stuff was fixed, maybe, and some stuff may still be borken, maybe

[frail crescent]

Thanks???

[rain widget]

plant species dont seem to be spawning on my server?

[onyx pollen]

Does anyone have the INI or know how to turn spawn time on bed down please for Nitrado servers?

[undone hearth]

version 26.36 is available for update or not?

On unofficial server

[rich cloak]

My solution is to place more beds

[ruby merlin]

bunk beds as many as u want

[brittle canyon]

Not on public branch yet... check steamdb for 2430930 - public depot

[autumn eagle]

damn restart loop ... 😦

[bronze bronze]

apparently it might be now, asalive was updated 7 mins ago

[brittle canyon]

asalive is WC's servers. public is our dedicated servers and nitradopc is Nitrado hosted servers.

Current status:

NAME DESCRIPTION BUILD ID TIME UPDATED
unoff_beta 12737410 12 minutes ago
npc_beta 12737403 13 minutes ago
asalive 12737395 9 minutes ago
qa_staging 12737395 14 minutes ago
public 12728284 4 hours ago
nitradopc 12728279 4 hours ago

[celest halo]

and if live was updated again 7 min ago they not on v26.36 any more either

[cold cradle]

For ASE is there any way to fix not being able to join a friend's world? We're both using steam and the error message is host timeout

[rain widget]

plant x doesnt seem to be spawning anywhere on my server is there a setting where i could have turned this off by accident?

[worn belfry]

When nitrado servers just crash crash and crash some more. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[cosmic urchin]

Has anyone had any luck using admin commands to get the tek binoculars? Ideally I would just unlock the engram and make it myself, but the command to unlock it isn't working. Do I need to actually kill the boss even with the admin commands to unlock it?

[wise kindle]

Yes unless you change ini unlock files, you need to run alpha tek cave to unlock it. But you should be able to craft one in your inventory while in GCM.

[celest halo]

crafting it dont matter, cant use it if you dont know the engram

[wise kindle]

Isnt he in GCM?

Cuz he is trying to use commands to spawn them in.

[cosmic urchin]

I'm new enough at this to not know what GCM means but I did activate cheatmode <password> and can fly and such if that's any indicator.

[cosmic urchin]

Any idea where to find that ini file?

[wise kindle]

After you do cheat password, do “cheat gcm” then look for it in your crafting inventory. Then just hit E.

[celest halo]

dont need GCM to spawn things

[wise kindle]

Yes. He said he cant get the spawn command to work. Gcm spawning in your inventory is the next best way to get a set of binoculars.

[cosmic urchin]

Does gcm unlock all engrams permanently for that character?

[wise kindle]

No only unlocks for that session.

Gcm unlocks all engrams.

[cosmic urchin]

Gotcha, thanks. I guess I'm looking for a less heavy handed approach. I don't mind digging into the ini files if need be, just want to make that item specifically easier to obtain.

My buddies and I were expecting to take down a few bosses to get it but didn't realize it's the very last thing you can unlock.

[wise kindle]

Might want to look i to getting beacon so you can configure your engrams as you please. Will make your life a ton easier.

[cosmic urchin]

Beacon?

[wise kindle]

Checks the pins for a link to Beacon

[cosmic urchin]

Oh wow

[wise kindle]

The other, easier option is to install U+ Utilities mod. It adds a version of the binoculars as a low level unlock. Pretty much the same item.

[cosmic urchin]

Gotcha. We were staying away from mods because it sounded like people were having issues with building pieces disappearing after automatic updates

safe to assume that shouldn't be an issue though if you aren't building with modded pieces right?

[wise kindle]

I havent seen issues with this one, its pretty light compared to most.

You can try it, if you see weirdness its easy to remove. Its small too.

[cosmic urchin]

Cool, thanks for all the tips!

[stuck creek]

Are unofficial updates being left behind again

[celest halo]

always

[robust junco]

Is unnofficial still on 26.27?

[celest halo]

no

[vagrant barn]

Anyone running Into issues with Nitrado ASA servers crashing when you add mods to the server??? Are there any fixes to this?

[bronze bronze]

what mods

[vagrant barn]

Cryopods & the "Addition Ascended dinos"

[bronze bronze]

some of the Addition Ascended dinos are known to have crashes atm

braci, xeni and deip which i just butchered their names but you can figure out which from those lol

Additions Ascended: Brachiosaurus
Additions Ascended: Deinotherium
Additions Ascended: Xiphactinus

those

[idle oar]

Im using the nitrado expert settings, and these two setting refuse to work: UseSingleplayerSettings=true, DisableStructurePlacementCollision=true

Ase btw

[humble thicket]

In nitrado settings is there a way to increase dino spawn rate? I feel like ASA is empty

[idle oar]

DinoAmount=1.0 is default, up that

[humble thicket]

where is that setting?

im on the nitrado settings

[frigid drift]

day 2 asking for 10.000 water in cooker

[humble thicket]

I dmed you @idle oar

[oak umbra]

I have a dedicated ASA server locally in my home that my family play on and a few days ago there was some update to address movement or maybe it was rubberbanding on live and ever since then we have now noticed very small rubberbanding when moving, like micro rubberbanding and is annouying. Since my server is only for like 4 people max, is there any server setting to improve this issue or undo what may have been done. Just confused where this issue come from.

[torpid spear]

I think its a comon issue. I have seen it and a youtube creator was experiancing it, Syntac.

[rain widget]

does sdfride commands work in asa?

[oak umbra]

I could be wrong but I think the patch that happened just before this annouying micro rubberbanding when moving was 26.21 and could be something this change. "Increased server performance: adjusted threshold for combining network movement message, resulting in average 80% less network-movement operations". If it was that, is there away for a dedicated server host to change this.

[lyric python]

Does this work? I remember that spawn increase didn’t work when the game first release

[queen remnant]

Anybody know how to update their server on Nitrado?

[celest halo]

restart it

[robust junco]

does anyone have ini coding to make all the kibbles not take things like focal chili or bee honey?

[sterile osprey]

Anyone know how to allow strucutres to stack?

[olive sleet]

v26.38 is out to Public

[oak umbra]

I can confirm that the new 26.38 patch fixed the rubberbanding movement on my dedicated server.

[rich cloak]

I worked for about 4 hours today on my Dedi, the .32 update caused a MOD conflict scenario that prevented the server from loading. Thats the risk of using MODs in an early release state lol

[regal prism]

Oh please? 🥲

[oak umbra]

Yeah, still working without movement issues now. Hope it resolves it for others.

[olive sleet]

Does it work for you if you leave and rejoin the server? Mine works after a fresh server boot but after leaving and rejoining I lag around again until the server is restarted

[oak umbra]

ill give it a try

[sterile osprey]

Anyone know how to set server announcements with Arkon

[regal prism]

Still feeling the restrictive movement 😦
Could have sworn the movement issue was introduced by a client update (26.21)

[olive sleet]

^
Servers may have benefited from the change but I'm also fairly certain its a Client issue given it began of Unofficials before the update went Public, and after the Client update.

[elfin pulsar]

the only movement issue ive seen is my spino skipping frames while turning

[olive sleet]

if you do some A,D spamming (just move left and right) its very obvious

[oak umbra]

So yes, I disconnected and then rejoined and the issue is now back. I also closed the game and rejoined and still no good. Well that sucks

[regal prism]

if you use a bed to teleport it makes it better... for a little bit

[oak umbra]

But I do know the recent patch did fix it at least on first startup and first connect since before the patch it was always doing it.

[olive sleet]

[sterile osprey]

Is there a way to stop the server from being force updated

[native wave]

How do you host it?

[uneven musk]

issues with servers atm

cant see a bunch of unnoficial ones atm

[cloud sorrel]

@uneven musk when that happened to me I had to uninstall AND delete all the folders on my client rig... 5 other in house computers could.play on my server but I couldn't till I did that

[spare brook]

all of my players are having the same - servers not visible

[uneven musk]

good to here, same with the server i play on

thank gosh i aint the only one

we tried a server restart and everything but nope

[lyric python]

Can any1 recommend a working incubator mod that works kind of like in ASE without being OP?

[sterile osprey]

Nitrado

[native wave]

fairly sure that's all automated with no ability to prevent a patch

[sterile osprey]

Unfortunate, we keep getting hit by these patches and it forcibly installs with no warning

[elfin pulsar]

you can set asa to only update when you tell it to

[native wave]

Polling the players on my server to see if they have any issues...so far I've spotted none. Also no one has responded yet...too early in the morning for most.

[spare brook]

Thankyou for checking Thunder God 🙂

[queen zinc]

What setting do you change in your ini to increase the structures on rafts and platforms

[fast epoch]

hey, what a certificates needed? I have one but after last update my server not show it web, idk where find another

[dapper pilot]

servers not appearing in the browser. cant connect to our server..

[olive umbra]

Hi I need help we have hit the 250 tames limit on tribe how do we increase this limt sever limit has been raised to 50000 and has no impact at all

[olive pecan]

I can't see my own servers, wtf?

[dawn plinth]

where did you get the certificate?

[left vale]

hey guys, I've got a few questions. I'm running a steamcmd dedicated server on a ryzen platform without a dedicated gpu. could I improve speed with a proper gpu or in other words: is the dedicated server utilising a graphics card (cuda cores for example) or is it all calculated by the cpu? I often see this red message inside my game logged in as admin that says that frames are lost. is there a way to see how many fps the server is running at?

[dawn plinth]

setcheatplayer 1 should show it when in game

[olive pecan]

gpu not needed for hosting

[karmic junco]

Hi there!
Okay what am I doing wrong?
Egghatchspeedmultiplyer wih wyvern eggs
I set up a new server yesterday (like I did 20 times before) - and somehow the egg hatch speed doesnt change for my wyvern egg.
I set it to 10, 20, 50, 60, 5.0, and stuff like that. I even went to god mode, took the old eggs and ate them and waited for new in case the timer only changes for newly layd eggs.

Where is my mistake? What did I forget?
The option is in my game.ini and I changed i manually and also in the webpanel to see if it makes a difference.

[deft wind]

Does anyone else have the problem that the ASA server suddenly no longer appears in the list?

[olive pecan]

sadly, most of us...

[oak umbra]

mine shows up if searched by name in unofficial. Still find it strange when its in my fav I still have to enter the name in search for it to show up even if its the only server. And also fav seems to lose my server after updates.

No, dedicated server in my house. Could also be why it is showing up.

[cosmic stump]

Mine is also dedicated in house, but it's not showing up witht the latest update 😦

[ruby merlin]

game wont let me open the join game tab in menu

[olive pecan]

im sure they're tryin to fix somethink like "unofficials showing on official tab" and they broke everything 😄

[oak umbra]

Isnt there away to join a server from the console, if you know the ip that is. Maybe that would work as a workaround for now.

[ruby merlin]

yeash sure i do its open IP:port

but wth why is it doing this all of a sudden

[olive pecan]

it does not work for me 😦

[ruby merlin]

its not working for me either like wth devs u screwed up bad this time

[olive pecan]

yeah, it tries to connect, but a error popup appears

[deft wind]

@proven prawn any news why the servers are no longer displayed in the ingame list?

[ruby merlin]

we cant even play@proven prawn wont even let me open server list kicks me back to main even unofficial host players

[oak umbra]

Yeah not sure why some cannot see their server and others do not have that issue. I wonder if it has something to do with their servers startup settings for the server or other server settings. Here is mine, keep in mind it is only for family locally, so dont care about cheaters and so on. "TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=<sessionname>?XPMultiplier=0.25?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27020 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -insecure -NoBattlEye -noundermeshchecking -noundermeshkilling -noantispeedhack -NoHangDetection -nosteamclient -game -server -mods=<listofmods>"

[ruby merlin]

screw it shut my server down since i cant get on it at all and just have to wait i guess until somethings fixed in client

[olive pecan]

bad day to troll us

[copper umbra]

Having the same issue

Some servers have already fixed it but idk how

[oak umbra]

If anyone has a server that is not showing up and is okay sharing the name, I can try searching it on my client since my server works. This way you can tell if its a client issue or server issue.

[ruby merlin]

i cant even get in the list the issue im having

[oak umbra]

What client build do you have? Mine in game shows up as 26.25 (CL 451632)

[copper umbra]

It's a server issue

[oak umbra]

well luckily not my server

[ruby merlin]

26.25 too

[oak umbra]

not sure if it would help, but try verifying your game files maybe.

[ruby merlin]

did that thinking maybe client update was stuck nothiong

[oak umbra]

well that sucks. Strange one.

[ruby merlin]

i see ppl are playing in other channels

so its not game wide which makes me think i been put on a ban list

i dont play official so no idea how i would end up on one

so is it just random banning and i hope not

i can load single player

[oak umbra]

I dont think a ban would prevent the game list from opening. It would be you join and then it disconnects or something like that.

[ruby merlin]

im about to try a reinstall on client

[spare brook]

Looking in here, the "not showing up" problem isn't just one or two servers.
Mine is self-hosted. Server pings perfectly well, instance is started and running fine - server unfindable by anyone in my playerbase (not just one person unable to find)

[copper umbra]

Same over here

[oak umbra]

Have you tried verifying server files?

[copper umbra]

ye

[olive pecan]

+1

[olive pecan]

of course we did

[humble thicket]

hello, if I rent a nitrado server now will it be available to xbox players when the game is released on the console?

[olive pecan]

I have a PVP server and I started a new PVE last night, 9 hours ago, both were findable and playable. New client update were installed this morning. Me, and no one in the community can see the servers now. I don't think is a server (our) side.

is it the moment to nitrado host? 😄

[oak umbra]

The last update was a server side update and not client. There was a client update hours before that but did not see anyone reporting this issue till some time after the server update happened. If you by chance had a backup of your server before the update, maybe you can restore to that and just avoid updating it till they address what ever happened.

[olive pecan]

I didn't update my servers when the issue started. This is not a single issue to my own servers. This is a massive issue to most server owners.

[spare brook]

I updated my server and verified files after the issue started. Was hoping the patch would resolve it, but nope.

[olive pecan]

Tried to update servers, verifuing files. Tried updating OS, tried restarting the OS, tried making a new server, tried.....

[spare brook]

There were some steam/valve issues overnight... don't know if that could've impacted anything

[oak umbra]

Well since my server is on my local network, maybe why I have not had any issues related to finding it in the server list.

[olive pecan]

External people can connect to it?

[ruby merlin]

yeah if its local it will be easy discovarable

but i bet external no

[oak umbra]

I have not had anyone try external recently, so it could be the case.

[ruby merlin]

reinstalled client problem persists

my server is still on last update so it is not a server problem

also it wont update to new version if one was released today no idea why

i have exhaustyed what i can do

just going to have to wait

[oak umbra]

I switched my PC over to my mobile phone hotspot with my LAN disabled and was able to find my server and connect without issue. On another topic, ASA seems to run fine over mobile internet.

[nocturne wolf]

Hello

I want to create a server from pc for ps4, How can i do?

[topaz basalt]

does any 1 have a fix for your server not showing?

asa

[olive pecan]

just wait... we tried everything

[topaz basalt]

inx apperanly managed to fix it

[oak umbra]

Are you running a server on a hosted bare metal service or running your own hardware?

[ruby merlin]

well go ask them how

[spare brook]

posting a bug report incase they don't see discord chat (lot of noice in discord)

[olive pecan]

what/who is inx? apologize my english 😦

[ruby merlin]

looks like a big pvp server they have a discord

[olive pecan]

oh I understand

[spare brook]

is there anyone experiencing this problem - that is on Nitrado?
is it only hitting self-hosted instances?

[oak umbra]

Not on Nitrado, not having issues.

maybe everyone that is having issues happen to be on the same hosting company.

[olive pecan]

😐

[olive pecan]

don't think so, mine is from spain and as I told, it were working fine 9h ago. Are you self-home-hosting a dedicated or "non-dedicated" server?

oh, ASE in the same hosting, same machine are visible

[spare brook]

Mine is on a server in a datacentre - I rent the machine. So isn't a home/low-bandwidth issue. IP pings fine.

[oak umbra]

Its a dell server running the dedicated server from steamcmd

no, the only reason i asked about host was in case the host had some kind of outage, which does happen. But it sounds like diff hosts and locations so most likely not that.

Its just strange, I have the latest client and server, with nothing special setup. Just port forwarding for my server and it seems to work fine externally. Very strange.

The next place I would check if I was having this issue where no one could see the server, would be the server log. In case anything suspicious is being reported. Who knows, it could even be a mod that everyone maybe using. I have seen mod bugs do some strange things, like make client side water and grass stop interacting, and another that bugging out the UI. Both mods had nothing to do with the bugs they caused.

[rich cloak]

My self hosted server has also become inaccessible since last night

My current ISP is Comcast

[oak umbra]

Also comcast here, gigabit. No issues yet , hopefully it isnt coming for me in the future

with it working and then not working, and there was no client update or server update or server stopping, it really sounds like an issue with the server hosts network/ISP. But also sounds too wide spread, unless there is some kind of world wide outage, like when Level 3 crapped out.

Not sure how ASA game list populates, like if they depend on some third party service that is having some kind of outage and only effecting some areas. Hopefully they can find the issue.

[harsh tide]

Anyone runing into scirpt issues this week? I was using PS scripts to automatically update servers but they are now failing to check steam versions of the game. Wondering if steam made a change. ARK survival evolved. They dont currently work on either game but up until yesterday-ish they were.

[drowsy sonnet]

Make sure you all have downloads disabled because rn ppl are able to bring stuff over from single player into ASA just like they did on ASE. i hear there are lots of servers that are getting hit by these muppets so keep an eye out and check your settings guys n gals

[feral glacier]

Do I need a start.bat to add my mods to dedi server?

[olive pecan]

AWS?

I am not using mods, full vanilla

[oak umbra]

You need to add -mods=id,id,id to your server startup command line.

[feral glacier]

Is that in the gameuser settings?

[oak umbra]

Are you running ASA server or ASE and is it the dedicated server from steam library or from steamCMD

[feral glacier]

Asa dedi from steam

[oak umbra]

So right click the dedicated server in the steam library and go to properties and then look at the launch options. In the text field below you would add -mods=id,id,id from curse forge

[feral glacier]

Ahhh ok tyvm I’ll give that one a try ❤️

[oak umbra]

np, after you add that and then start the server, it will download and use any you had listed.

For anyone that is having the movement rubberbanding issue. The server update a few hours ago did fix it but only on server reboot and first time connecting. Reconnecting after with no reboot of server will have the issue still. But did find and tested for a while that if you die or use a bed to travel, it fixes the bug till you disconnect and then will need to do it again.

Ideally I would like to schedule something like that, what's the best time to do it?

[olive pecan]

ey bro, what did you do? help us! 😄

[oak umbra]

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier , I think your issue is the spelling

[daring plinth]

[oak umbra]

Amazon Web Services

i know how to search in google " aws meaning " , now i need how can i use that in my server ty btw...

[rich cloak]

Running / Hosting on AWS can get very expensive

[woven linden]

Yeah, same with Azure. I looked. Luckily I have a friend who I worked with in Ops who has his own server rack at home. 🙂

Haven't tested my server lately with the latest updates from the last few days so not sure it's working though.

[white garnet]

is it EggHatchSpeedMultiplier that affects how fast the rhynio baby explodes my dino?

[karmic junco]

It´s written correct in the ini and also in the webpanel

[olive pecan]

Hello guys, I found a fix for "server not showing".

we have to install/update an amazon certificate, I found a post with a powershell script to install them. Just update the certificates and restart your machine

[celest halo]

ones from here should work for that https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Windows_Server_editions_and_crossplay_with_Epic_players

[sudden mirage]

@olive pecan you just ran the power script to update it?

[woven linden]

While that cert seems legit to me, please make sure to not just run any script that updates your certificate store without understanding what it is doing and where those certs are from. Opens you up to bad things on sites you shouldn't trust as if a cert gets added to your root cert store you are open to having "bad things" happen. I had never heard of AmazonTrust before and find it odd that there isn't a root cert already that trusts certs from AmazonTrust. :/

[olive pecan]

yep, the urls are from amazon

[woven linden]

Even more puzzled that I didn't get it from installing the Epic Games related components already on my machine where I do development from.

[olive pecan]

you can just download manually and check them

[woven linden]

Most people don't know how to "check them".

This really should have been done a better way. Like even part of the server components.

[olive pecan]

ASA does not uses steam for server forwarding, it uses some amazon system to connect all platforms

[sudden mirage]

how do you check or update

[olive pecan]

people who migrated to AWS solved the problem, ofc

[sudden mirage]

i ran the powershell script and still broken it was working yesterday before the certificate expired

[olive pecan]

restart your OS

[sudden mirage]

how do you check or update them

[woven linden]

Likely that wasn't your issue. I've not had to do any of this yet my server worked fine. Though haven't tested it in the last few days so maybe something changed.

[sudden mirage]

i did a few times 😭

[woven linden]

Ah, but maybe it's because I've not had someone using the Epic Games version of ASA, so maybe that's why I haven't had to do this.

[celest halo]

a normal windows 10/11 install should of had the cert already. some version of windows server for some reason dont come with it

[olive pecan]

yeah, I am using win server 2022, also could be the reason

[celest halo]

you can get it from the wiki link i posted also if you dont want to get it from reddit

[woven linden]

I looked, but maybe not in the right spot. I looked where that script puts it. My server is Server 2022, didn't look there, but don't see it here on my Win 10 computer. 🤷 I'll come back to this if it's an issue.

[olive pecan]

you're 100% right

[weak cobalt]

any issues with joining dedicated servers? Updated server to 26.38 and it's showing it's up but unable to make connections. Was working up till today. Wasn't sure if any of the updates yesterday caused any problems.

[indigo fossil]

Not sure if this is the right section to be posting but me and my mate have a Nitrado pve cluster server on ps4/ps5. Now once we finish an island we like to upload any dinos we worked hard with to take into a solo world but we've now realised you can't do that with a cluster, so wondering if anyone has any work arounds to upload them or is it just not possible? Without a cluster there was no issue transferring dinos
Please tag me in any replies as well or I might miss them

This is plain old ark not asa btw and we also use Beacon

[woven linden]

You cannot transfer from ASE to ASA. Maybe you could do something with a mod where it copies properties somehow? But it'd need access to ASE data. Other option is for you to spawn something in and set it to the values you last had. Though I don't think you could do mutations without a mod.

Also, get a copy of your nitrado server, I think they still support ftp, not looked as I don't need them for now.

[indigo fossil]

We didn't mean transfer from ASE to ASA, simply transfer to a solo world in ASE and not the online server so we can keep the dinos once we are finished with the server

[woven linden]

Ah, I am not sure, maybe? I know there is a bug now where you can transfer ASA SP to ASA server unless the server has it blocked, and it's not blocked by default. 😦

Also, you can get a backup of the server and might be able to run it on a local windows server, not sure if the same data would work in single player. Never tested that either.

So upload a test dodo to transfer, like how you do it for a cluster, then start single player and see if it is there.

[indigo fossil]

I don't think you can run a ps4 server on Windows? I've never tried that

And oh yeah we've tried that anything we uploaded once the cluster is made isnt accessible in single player
Things made before the cluster is but not after

[woven linden]

There might be a setting on your sever that blocks transfering out, so make sure that is undone.

"out" as in out to a non cluster server.

I don't think you can run a ps4 server on Windows? I've never tried that
Ah, good point, probably not. There are probably different IDs as well for the players.

Going to guess someone might have tried this out, I'd do a search online to see. Heck maybe even ask ChatGPT or some other AI.

[indigo fossil]

It appears our cluster is segregated from all other servers and we can't find anything to change it

[woven linden]

I don't know as much about cluster setup, but I saw a bunch of things related to it on the wiki which is in the pins. Search for "PreventUploadDinos" on the settings page.

[frank egret]

anyone having having issues where your servers just randlomly stopped connecting to the steam network?

[frank egret]

my server just randomly stopped showing up in game and in battlemetrics, cant figure out what theproblem is

[ruby merlin]

still cant get in the join game list just backs me back to mainh screen

wth is going on

[frank egret]

wouldnt surprise me if this has to do with nitrado

[weak cobalt]

I'm noticing something similar. I'm on Windows 2022. I of course have the epic cert on the box. I had no issues until today. I direct connect but it never goes through. If I stop the server I get the message on the client that the host disconnected the server.

[frank egret]

for me i was playing with some freinds, game crashed and then i couldnt see my server in the list so i decided to restart the server after i restarted steam to no avail. now no one can connect to it and battlemetrics shows it as offline

this was 2 hrs after updating to the latest patch

[weak cobalt]

Yeah something wonky is going on. What os are you on?

[frank egret]

server 2019

[woven linden]

How long does it normally take after starting up for it to show up in battlemetrics? I'll see if mine shows up but guessing it takes a bit to show up there.

[weak cobalt]

Gotcha. Might be a Windows server issue.

[frank egret]

mine has been instant after the first day of launching it

[weak cobalt]

Something they changed broke it for Windows server.

[frank egret]

really dont wanna spin up a windows 10 vm just to test that theory lol

[stark idol]

I reacreated my server using beacon, everything works fine except the admin password. ?ServerAdminPassword=test in my commandline but for some reason it automatically pastes my whole commandline into the gameusersettings, when i manually change it it will just add the whole command line. Any ideas?

[frank egret]

put it in quotes

[stark idol]

if you mean the commandline i already have it in quotes

[frank egret]

i had that issue at first but i put the server password at the very end of the string right before all the - commands

[stark idol]

im going to try this

[frank egret]

been doing this for 6 years and ive had less issues hosting ASE at this point

[woven linden]

Yes, do this, and/or remove it from the command line and only have it in the ini.

[weak cobalt]

I'll give it a shot when I get home.

[stark idol]

Yesterday i had the same issue, then i found a amazon certificate and installed it with powershell after that it was visible again, ill try to find it

[frank egret]

tried that too

[woven linden]

Ok, started up my server, version 26.27 (not updated for a day or two I think) and not seeing it in battle metrics. Seeing if I can find it via the game.

[stark idol]

make a update only bat

for it to update if it wont work with ur normal bat

that did it for me

[woven linden]

I have one, I wanted to test it on an older version first.

[frank egret]

if your on an older patch then its not the patch thats causing the issues it seems

[stark idol]

it might just be because he is a couple patches behind

[frank egret]

i can see servers in game that are 10 patches behind and can still connect to them

in fact out of the 60 or so they list randomly only maybe 3% are patch 26.38

[vivid ruin]

Seems like a solution is to update amazon certificates (AWS) used by Epic Online Services (EoS) Used by the Unreal Engine that is used for ASA and for reason (i don't understand any of this really) don't update/re-issue when expired

and have to do manually

[stark idol]

Putting the password at the end of the command line worked thanks a lot 🙂

[frank egret]

nice at least someone has there stuff fixed lol

@vivid ruin already tried that

[vivid ruin]

yeah i read now he did that yesterday 🙂

but didnt work for you?

[frank egret]

that would also make more sense to me if i was runing the game in EGS

[ruby merlin]

got a link to the download?

[vivid ruin]

i just followed the reddit page

[frank egret]

if a steam server has to do that then theyre doing something wrong

[ruby merlin]

link redit page please

[vivid ruin]

won't allow direct link, need to replace dots

[vivid ruin]

yeah its not EGS its that the game itself is using the unreal engine and EOS to communicate, which in turn uses amazon

[frank egret]

i guess that makes sense

really wish they would release a linux server build

that certificate issue would also make more sense if everyone was having this issue from the jump but that reddit post is over 2 weeks old as well

[vivid ruin]

yeah, dunno how long certification lasts,

[olive talon]

I know you're helping each other, but rather than circumvent the link filter, please dm it to each other instead. I know it's an inconvenience, but it is part of the rules ♥️

[ruby merlin]

ok so certificate updated

i still can not access the join server list in my client

i dont think im having same issues as you guys#

[frank egret]

think im in the same boat as you snipe

there is one thing i havent checked tho, is anyone else running mods?

[ruby merlin]

actually half my client doesnt work i cant change settings i cant save them if i click gamepad it locks up i cant even exit settings i then have to keep hiting escape to quit

[frank egret]

wtf

[ruby merlin]

mine is definatley a client issue

[frank egret]

validate files?

[ruby merlin]

done and a fresh reinstall

it was ok last night when i headed to bed

only staerted after i got up today

i wish i could drop vid files in here

funny no developers are around today either

[frank egret]

of course not lol

mine started around midnight last night (PST)

i love all the new stuff but its things like this that make me kinda regret buying the game so early

[ruby merlin]

i give up i cant even get a refund im just going to uninstall and drop my server no reason this should be happening without an answer from an official source they even aware of the problem

this is the bug that broke me

[frank egret]

i dont blame you im almost to that point myself

i got 24 ASE servers i host i can go back to lol

[ruby merlin]

yeah i got a cluster going thats where im heading too

[frank egret]

the no linux server support shoulda been the red flag i listened to

[rich cloak]

Is anyone hosting a Dedi on W10 or W11 and that still works?

[frank egret]

im bout to spin up a win 10 vm and see

[rich cloak]

I am willing to run mine on a 10 or 11 VM in the short term, if it works

[frank egret]

i want my linux support

[covert perch]

heya anybody know how to change the tame time in nitrado servers?

[frank egret]

tame time?

[covert perch]

yea when i want to tame a rex or smth

sorry for bad english :p

[frank egret]

taming speed setting

[covert perch]

doesnt exist on nitrado settings

[frank egret]

its under gameusersettings

[covert perch]

my PT needed 2 hours lvl 50 lol

[frank egret]

might have to manually add it, im not sure how nitrados UI works tho. its probably as trash as the rest of their stuff lol

[covert perch]

lol haha ok

thanks

[frank egret]

ive also just noticed my "fresh" server download doesnt have all the other settings files just gameusersettings even tho the server is running currently

i dont think the servers are fully starting

[covert perch]

i thought only nitrado had servers to give

[frank egret]

nope, they backtracked on that day 3 lol

you can host on your "own" machine now

[rich cloak]

Nitrado has servers that "Take" (your $$$)

[covert perch]

lool i didnt knew that what is the best server in your opinion?

[frank egret]

how shady nitrado is, is what makes me instantly think this is their doing

the best server is one you host on your own hardware lol

other then that get a baremetal and run a windows vm on it

[covert perch]

oh man thats

im not that computer guy xD i dont know how that works. to start the nitrado server was a mythic for me

[woven linden]

Ok, had to reboot my computer that I play ark from (likely due to a bunch of other things I recently installed and a windows update) but was able to connect to my ASA server just fine. Self hosted, it's on an older version of the server on latest client. Server version is 26.27. Not going to update it if this is a problem for a newer version. It wasn't showing up in battle metrics until a while after it was started.

[frank egret]

are you hosting on the same machine your playing on @woven linden ?

[ruby merlin]

ok so fixed half my problem do not run the game in borderless window mode

i switched it back to full screen and can now access server lists

[woven linden]

Nope, and it's hosted on Windows Server 2022 Standard. Running ark client from a Win 10 pro computer.

I also didn't do anythiing with those certs on that server.

[ruby merlin]

now its just all about getting my server to update

[woven linden]

Are folks not able to connect using the Epic or Steam version of Ark? Maybe look for errors in Event VIewer or Ark log files?

[hoary sedge]

Hello, I've been encountering a bug on my Ark server since yesterday where I'm not able to view item information. When I hover over an item, neither the name nor any details are displayed. I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thank you

[woven linden]

I suppose it could also be that the servers I connect to for the Ark "network" are local to me, I'm not too far away from Seattle. Maybe it's a location issue. I am going to guess that they have some servers set around the world for the Ark "network" for it to show up in the game.

[frank egret]

im close to seatle as well

[woven linden]

Ah, well then that rules that out. LOL

[frank egret]

infact i work in seattle thats how close i am

[woven linden]

Though you could route differently than I do.

I'm about 90 miles north.

[vagrant ledge]

not a bug, there is a keybind for it (cant remember what it is right now) but in your inventory you will find a button with a ! (I think) in it at the top, click that

[woven linden]

Not sure what else to narrow down for the problems others are having with their servers. 😦 If I could reproduce it I would look further into it but I cannot repro.

[frank egret]

update your server lol

jk

[woven linden]

Ok, will have to sometime soon and can roll back.

Will take a bit...

[wise kindle]

lmao everyone is local to Seattle

[frank egret]

seems that way sometimes lol

[woven linden]

Server started, good start. LOL
ARK Version: 26.38

[frank egret]

give it about 2 hrs lol thats ho wlong mine was updated before i had issues

[rich cloak]

ya mine was fine for a while also

[woven linden]

Ok, was able to join just fine.

[frank egret]

the game crashing is what started all the problems for me

[woven linden]

Ah, could be something locally corrupted.

[rich cloak]

then I logged in to it, and logged out a while later, after that, the server could not be found

[woven linden]

How long?

[frank egret]

no one can see my server anymore

even battlemetrics

[rich cloak]

I tried fresh everything, and same issue

[woven linden]

Weird.

[frank egret]

yep, and i had ppl on it when i myself couldnt see it anymore

we all logged for a server restart and bam no one can see it now

[woven linden]

Ark client, at least for ASE, seemed to cache things which caused problems. Clearing the cache, on Xbox, was a pain. No idea where it'd be stored with the steam client.

[frank egret]

in the steam settings thaeres a clear cache button, butlike i said battlemetrics cant even see it. i reinstalled the server fresh and even tho the server is currently "running" theres still the singular gameusersettings settings file all the rest are still non existant which get populated upon first start of the server

[weak cobalt]

did win10 work? I'll build out a vm if you haven't tried yet

[frank egret]

im building out th vm right now, had to rememebr the proxmox seetings for win 10 lol

[woven linden]

You likely already tried, but maybe test some of the ports that need exposed from a remote location. I can see mine in battle metrics, and pings keep working.

[weak cobalt]

totally missed my 2 hours of c# grinding today to work on this problem. It sucks.

[frank egret]

so heres the kicker i could still control and talk tot he server via rcon both local ip and public ip

[weak cobalt]

right

[frail crescent]

Has people's server become more rubber bandy since last week's network patches ?

[weak cobalt]

I was able to doexit on the server so it's live on my end.

[spare brook]

Thankyou - certificates solved for me

[frank egret]

after the cert install did you restart the machine?

[spare brook]

yes

[weak cobalt]

I tried that ealier. Still no go for me

[frank egret]

you runing a vm @spare brook ?

[spare brook]

No - bare metal

I actually sent the link/details to my hardware host and asked him to "solve" it for me!

[frank egret]

oh lol

so now my vm wont start back up wtf lol im bout to give up

[woven linden]

I suppose it could be some option that is different for others. I turned off battleeye for example. But could be other setting differences.

This is all I have in the command line. A bunch of the others are in the ini that were a problem in the command line. For example I moved the passwords.
TheIsland_WP -NoBattlEye -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -serverrconoutputtribelogs -forceallowcaveflyers -notransferfromfiltering

[frank egret]

as useless as battleye is i keep i ton jsut to deter cheaters

i mgiht have to give that a shot

[woven linden]

Sure, maybe test it for a second without if you can get your VM back. And then turn it back on if that's not it. I doubt it's that, but who knows at this point. Though don't want to waste too much of your time with my "ideas", as it could be something totally out of your control. 😦

[charred vector]

Hey does anyone know what I can do to fix obstructed building ? I already disabled the structure placement collision but still it doesn’t let me place things like I was able on ASE helppp

[rich cloak]

I am manually building a W11 VM to try that

[frank egret]

some reason when i luanch my win 10 vm it bucks my server2019 vm wtf lol

@woven linden what settings file did you put the prts and all that in?

[woven linden]

So you're launching a VM from your local computer? How are you hosting?
Password, servername, admin password, and then any settings for game play differences, also some settings for not allowing downloads.

[frank egret]

nah i have afull on server rack lol

[woven linden]

Can't think of anything else obvious. I didn't change any default ports.

[frank egret]

have 3 server machines all running proxmox

im saying did you put them in gameusersettings or gamsettings?

[woven linden]

Someone else configured the port forwarding for me so I cannot tell you what those were set to. I'm running on a VM on someone elses gear.

I put them in the file they say they go in from the wiki. I think they were the GUS.

[frank egret]

i have the ports and all that fine, been rinning ase servers for 6 years so im well versed in that side fo thing slol

[woven linden]

Yep, hence why this is a puzzler.

I'm not doing anything special that I know of.

And you tried spinning up a brand new server in a different folder?

[regal halo]

I've had issues with launching ASA servers as well where players could see the server but not connect to it. The only workaround that I found (weirdly) was to launch an ASE server on those ports. Have a couple of people connect. Shutdown ase then launch ASA server and voila, magically worked.

[frank egret]

nah i just deleted the server files in the folder and ran the install batch file

[woven linden]

Makes me think something is getting cached on the Ark server side of things and you blew that cache away by doing that.

[frank egret]

it was broken before i did that

[woven linden]

My server is password protected, maybe another difference? I'm out of ideas here. Are you able to join and find other servers just fine? Though it not showing up in battle metrics makes me think it's somehow not getting something out to the ark network.

[frank egret]

yea i can see and join other servers no issue

[woven linden]

Also, I mentioned looking in EventViewer for something there, seems it's not putting any logs there so ignore that. LOL Next time I start mine back up I'll see if it logs to anything other than the Logs folder in the Saves.

[frank egret]

thanks

[woven linden]

I would hope it would log something if it cannot get onto the ark network of servers but I don't even see a success log entry.

[frank egret]

im gonna kick myself in tha ass

so i removed al the settings inthe command line that are in the GUS and bam its back

[woven linden]

Cool, but weird. LOL

Wonder which one is the problem.

[frank egret]

i had a similar issue day 1 of it not liking spaces inthe session name so i guess it makes sense, it was probably conflicting with itself some how

[woven linden]

Ah, wndows and spaces in names of things are not our friend. 😂

[frank egret]

yea, got to used to linux i guess lol

[woven linden]

Bites me too often. I was having issues with the admin password so I gave up and shoved most all of it into the ini files.

[weak cobalt]

You're back up on windows server?

[rich cloak]

Wait, your server is now visiblae after that?

[woven linden]

FWIW the name of my server has no spaces. Maybe WC changed something with that. Would be silly if that was it but...

[frank egret]

i had that same issue, moving it to the very end of the command line fixed it tho so i just left it alone, it is odd that it started having issues in the middle of runing tho

[rich cloak]

I never use spaces in a server name, for the last 20 years

[frank egret]

yes im back up and running on server 2019

[woven linden]

LOL Yeah, I often do that as well.

Awesome!

[rich cloak]

Well poopy

I guess i will start moving things

[frank egret]

now to go back and change all the settings that got reset lol

[weak cobalt]

what does your start bat look like?

[frank egret]

wow it blocked i tlol

[weak cobalt]

here's mine start ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?listen?" -UseBattlEye

[frank egret]

hang on gotta get around discords censorship

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP -NoTransferFromFiltering

[weak cobalt]

Interesting

[woven linden]

Oh, ha, thank you HNLA. 😂

[frank egret]

so if you want battleye you dont have to specify, only when you want to disable it does it need to be inthe command line

[rich cloak]

And you are just running the bat manually? not using any manager?

[frank egret]

just manually

used to linux so its my default way now lol

[weak cobalt]

Manually although I created an app for managing it through a gui haha

[woven linden]

Once I figure out RCON api I am going to write my own as well.

[frank egret]

wish bletch was still doing the asm thing

[weak cobalt]

there's a new one being developed. I made one similar and it's gotten traction.

it's open sourced if you want to build off it

[woven linden]

I have a tinfoil hat, writing my own. LOL

[frank egret]

one of the co-devs for asm has been working on one that will work with any game server

[woven linden]

Ah, might do that and compile it myself in that case.

And contribute back if I find anything interesting.

[weak cobalt]

it's on github as Limitspassed/ASAManager

[frank egret]

think i sen a link for it

[weak cobalt]

possible I posted it on reddit.

[frank egret]

i might check it out

[weak cobalt]

It's built on C#. I'm all for the community adding in extra stuff and making it better.

[frank egret]

could try pulling from ASM and just change stuff around since its basically the same settings config as ase

[weak cobalt]

I don't think ASM was open source

[woven linden]

Fork created, thank you. Even better is I know c# WAY more than c++ so can help where I can there.

[weak cobalt]

Sweet. I know a little bit. I've been learning it and used this as a way to build ontop of my knowledge. Later today I'll be hitting it some more:

3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Late Afternoon Learning

• Spend 2 hours learning C# or whatever project I’m wanting to learn

[brittle canyon]

Ah, taking over progressing the ASM > ASA manager work?

[weak cobalt]

I started when I heard the ASM dev was stopping development. I'm a bit limited though so made sure to make it opensourced so it can be built more from the community.

[errant bay]

does anyone know how to increase the number of engram points earned per level in single player?

[left ice]

Is there a place where we can share crash logs to help identify issues? I'm at a loss with what I'm looking at as to why our dedicated server (not nitrado) is crashing every 20-30 mins.

[regal halo]

I tried submitting mine to bug reports yesterday but idk how reliable that is in terms of getting things fixed soon

[left ice]

Yeah, that's what I've been doing too. Hope they can identify a fix quickly

[regal halo]

What error message have you been getting?

[deep river]

okay, how does one disable the stupid "useVivox setting" that the game seems to want to use for launching the dedicated server on steam? me and my friends are all steam, so we don't NEED vivox, it'd just be bloat.

[left ice]

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x0000000000000018

[regal halo]

Exactly the same here

Are you running mods on your dedi server?

[left ice]

Any idea what it relates to? I'm scratching my head right now

[modern finch]

i found a dino wipe every so ofter helps with that crash error

[left ice]

Yeah a handful, but it's been mostly stable until this evening

The only change is we updated to 26.38

[left ice]

Ah interesting

[spring ruin]

is anyone server not showing up now my server is not on the list anymore out of no where

[regal halo]

I've had these crashes since before updating to 26.38

[modern finch]

im still trying to get my server visiable again after the 26.38 update i did this morning, not sure when it became un-joinable but is taking up my whole morning

[spring ruin]

same

[modern finch]

epic games updated a cert yesterday, which i updated on my server, but that didnt fix it, tired reducing my lauch command line, that was mention above, but that didnt help either.

[frank egret]

are you hosting your own @modern finch @spring ruin ?

[spring ruin]

yeas

[modern finch]

yea, windows server 2022 vm on esxi 6.7 server blade

[left ice]

I'll try a dinowipe and report back

[frank egret]

and i thought i was fancy jeez lol

[frank egret]

did you put the stuff you removed from the command line into the setting sfile?

[spring ruin]

vc @frank egret @frank egret

[frank egret]

which one

[spring ruin]

ill start one

sent fiend RQ

[woven linden]

FWIW That Access Violation error could be anything and could be for a totally different reason for different servers. The call stack might help narrow it down.

[modern finch]

yea

Well that's the first of many

[woven linden]

Eww. Weird that it is missing the symbols data to make it more readable

[regal halo]

Yeah they dont make this readable at all tbh xP

[woven linden]

Well I did see a symbols file before with the server install. It's the large pdb file. It can be used to resolve the call stack to something more readable, but requires some expertise to do so. Need a debugger.

It's not easy to figure out if you haven't done it before

[left ice]

So after the wild dino wipe we haven't crashed yet, probably not causative but could be. Hell, there's no harm in trying

But otherwise the crash logs are a total mystery to me, no idea what I'm looking at tbh

[robust junco]

Has anyone been able to change the kibble recipes? I tried to do it with code I made on beacon but it doesn't work.

[left ice]

Nvm - another server crash. Same error.

[woven linden]

Maybe ask around to see what someone might be doing at the time to narrow down the crash. If I get a server crash I see about writing up how to get nore info from the crash dump file.

I see the symbol file there with my install.

[knotty perch]

hi guys, i tried various settings but in can figure out to setup my nitrado server with loot scaling with ASE number (124 armor saddle max, 298% weapon dmg max etc). By any chance, does someone know to achieve just that?

[rich cloak]

I was having a server crash issue, then I discovered that my MOD load order was at fault

Now I still can not make my server visable sigh

[robust junco]

Thank gosh I don't have that issue cause you can't change the order on nitrado and I have 63 mods on my server...

[woven linden]

Mods could definitely be it. Going to guess that many don't handle errors well, though no idea how well errors are handled with Ark, guess it has issues as well given past history.

[rich cloak]

Make a full save backup, then remove ALL mods and see if the server starts, if it now starts, then put them all back and remove one mod at a time

[sterile osprey]

Anyway I can read the crash report to find out why it crashed

[queen remnant]

Is there any way to increase spawn rates on servers?

[sterile osprey]

Use an application like beacon, it should help you with that a bit easier but yes you can do it through your ini files for the server.

[deft wind]

Is there a solution to make the ASA server appear in the list again?

[pastel geyser]

hey

So am i supposed to set the Difficulty to 1 and the offset to 5 to get the official levels? Or is it different?

[rich cloak]

If you want "Official" levels, which happens to be **GameUserSettings.ini** [ServerSettings] DifficultyOffset=1 OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5

you can set you can set **Game.ini** [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] MaxDifficulty=True which will force OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5

Or To get level 300 Wild Spawns, Dedicated OR Single player

**GameUserSettings.ini**
[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10

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

[regal halo]

I had one as well. I get the funny feeling the AA mod might be behind it, idk if you have it on your server

[knotty perch]

does this config set the loot numbers to ASE standards as well?

[rich cloak]

Those settings are for Dino levels

Some loot adjustments are included in that, but that is not something I have been concerned with

[knotty perch]

i don't know how they configured official servers for loot number, when ASA released it was crazy numbers and they scaled them down to ASE numbers. But it seems that without tweaking anything the loots scale to insane numbers

[rough crater]

hello. i wants that insane numbers.

what are the ini tweaks for it?

i mean for ASE single player

[velvet adder]

Yeah, I found it how to put dino to 600+ but it's about player part, we can't get over 135, did you find a way ?

[rough crater]

i need to boost it up because of purple drops i keep getting primitive blueprints

[knotty perch]

there is a supplyCrateQualityMultiplier if set to 1 and max difficulty On you should have very very high numbers

[rough crater]

my max dificulty is 5

[rich cloak]

I have no looked at Player level yet, but just as in ASE, that is a much more complicated configuration

[rough crater]

where do i find that settings? is it in GameUserSettings.ini?

[regal halo]

SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier=2.0 in your Game.ini (NOT GameUserSettings.ini)

But purple drops have been rather disappointing anyways, even compared to blue ones.

[rough crater]

only 2.0?

not 50.0?

[regal halo]

Whatever number you want. We've been getting ascendant gear/BPs very frequently from blue/gold/red drops with 2.0

[rough crater]

nice but how many items in a drop? i seen servers that give over 20 items in a drop

i mean i seen them on youtube

[regal halo]

Can be 5-6 can be 10-12. Depends on the items

[woven linden]

But where are the crop plot BPs? Is this even ark?

[regal halo]

It's ASA, you get 50 irrigation pipes instead xD

[rich cloak]

a setting above 5.0 in that can result in bluprints that are nearly impossible to craft unless you cheat in the resources

[regal halo]

Good point, even 2.0's BPs can be insane

[rough crater]

really??

[regal halo]

Got a 577% dmg sniper rifle blueprint which is great but better cough up that 5k polymer PER rifle

[rough crater]

starts to store snails in his soul trerminal like no tomorrow.

[rich cloak]

Also, unless running a stacking MOD, no device or inventory can hold enough resources to craft those BPs haha

[rough crater]

only 5k polymer? no problem.. penguins need to go extinct anyway hehe

ultra stacks is the best mod for ASE

[left ice]

AA mod? No, don't think so!

[rich cloak]

I feel if a person is going to go to those extreemes, you may as well just use an Admin Cheat and summon everything /shrug

[regal halo]

Hmm then it might not be coming from that. For me that was the heaviest mod I have running on my servers

[rough crater]

nah man.. i jokes

[rich cloak]

I just changed my load order and the crashing stopped

[regal halo]

Huh, that's not a bad idea actually. Ill have to check if automated ark is on top

[left ice]

I've since just tried mixing the load order up and removing some extraneous mods that we haven't really utilised, and so far it seems okay

60 mins no crash anyway

[regal halo]

Though I doubt the other mods are causing conflicts. I've only got superspyglass and the additions dinos.

[left ice]

All the additions ones?

[regal halo]

All of them

[left ice]

I find some of them were causing problems, particularly the sea creatures

I think the Xi was crashing servers when spawning in Pirhana spawns in shallow water

[rich cloak]

I think it is more a matter of MOD X and MOD Y wanting to rule a specific attribute and they are duking it out

[regal halo]

That might do it. Who likes the Xi anyways? xD

[queen remnant]

What's beacon, and how can I do it through the INI?

[left ice]

Yeah try that! Let me know if it helps ❤️

[rich cloak]

Bacon is processed vegetables

[rough crater]

whats the best way to move your characters across arks/maps in ASE without loosing them on spawn due to crashes? is it possible to move them outside your game? as in moving files manually instead of in-game? i'm talking about single player

I lost like 10 characters so far and had to redo all the bosses, and its just not fun when your game crash and character gets lost

[regal halo]

Not sure when it comes down to SP

[rough crater]

its ok. i just hope someone has a better idea.

[bleak ivy]

best thing I can think of is make a backup before moving your character.
you can't bring items/dinos without going through ark data but survivor should just be able to copied over from the arkprofile file (no inventory, just stats, engrams, etc.)

[rough crater]

Ok. Is there a guide of what files do i need to grab and where they are located at?

[bleak ivy]

Steamapps>common>ark>shootergame>saved> or,
right click on ark from the sidebar in steam>properties>local files>browse>shootergame>saved
after that it depends on the map. everything in there is a save file, copy over the arkprofile that is it. I'd backup everything in that folder tho.

[rough crater]

the island

i'm playing on the island map

[bleak ivy]

I think it'd be better just to leave a copy in the old world as well and just move dinos/items through arkdata, each map has its own person. there are commands to do the ascensions.

[late carbon]

Tek suit boosts are not working correctly on my dedi while flying. Control+Shift isnt doing the boost. It works in single player, is this a setting issue?

[tardy pine]

Is the thanksgiving event something I can turn on in ASA?

[bleak ivy]

soon, see crunch for details.

is the 28th soon?

[rough crater]

I might need a bit more info or a guide if there is any on whats best way to proceede

[bleak ivy]

I've never had to do the copying of files to move people. I never had the crashing on transferring issue when I played SP, I host my own server now tho

the best way I can think of is just copy the arkprofile file into all map saves (if you don't already have a survivor there) and just use commands to sync ascensions when you do them.

or just backup the saves before transferring so you can go right back if it crashes/deletes

[dawn plinth]

my servers stopped showing in the game browser yesterday, i have the EOS certificate installed, did they change it?

[tardy pine]

Thanks for that. Do you know of any other events I can turn on in ASA that would allow my players to make the Chibis?

[dawn plinth]

where did you find this new certificate?

[celest halo]

theres prob none, if they plain on doing events as mods

[bleak ivy]

none are out yet. I think you get chibis from the overseer but I might be wrong

[feral glacier]

so i added the -mod=id,id,id thing to my steam launch but now the server wont start and just closes, how do i go about this?

[native wave]

yeah, ascension....seen it done on official on a stream

[celest halo]

wrong modid, problem downloading it, mod was removed from curseforge. there a few reason why it crashes when adding mods

[rough crater]

i have no arkprofile files anywhere in my game in the island saves or next to them

[bleak ivy]

do you have a survivor made

[rough crater]

yes

shes level 110

[late carbon]

anyone know?

[feral glacier]

alright.. time to go through them all then i suppose.. this should be fun lol

[bleak ivy]

it should be a .arkprofile

[regal halo]

Add the -automanagedmods argument as well. Also makes sure your modIDs are correct, its not the full string of the modfile just the first 6 numbers.

-automanagedmods -mods=900062,908148,912902,914844,916922,926956,927131,928597,929420 As an example

[celest halo]

should be LocalPlayer.arkprofile if its a single player game

[rough crater]

sent a dm... hope thats ok

[bleak ivy]

are you on an official save?

[rough crater]

yes the island.. on ASE

[bleak ivy]

I meant was it taken from an official save with the commandline options?

[rough crater]

no

[bleak ivy]

that is strange

load into the map and see if it appears.

[rough crater]

i'm playing the map as we speak

for past 3 hours+

i am playing with mods but that should not affect the fact that i don't have that file

[bleak ivy]

no, afaik the only reason for it to be gone is the commandline/launch option that combines it into the .ark file

[rough crater]

is it suppose to be in SavedArksLocal folder or LocalProfiles profiles folder?

[bleak ivy]

it should be with the .ark file in SavedArksLocal for the island. localprofiles has the localarkdata or something. its whats uploaded

[rough crater]

hmm

so whats there to be done if you do use the cmd line/launch option?

[bleak ivy]

all you can do is backup before transferring.

[rough crater]

ok , you mentioned the alternative to use console cmds to ascend and send items over to the main map?

is there a page or website where i can check them out? I mean the cmds for that

[rough crater]

I guess.. thanks for the help and for your time.

[modern finch]

ark wiki for dedi server setup, they have updated the part about the epic games certs

[sterile osprey]

I wonder how to take the save file off server to use elsewhere

[rough crater]

via a weird app called FTP..

[rough crater]

its called filezilla

[sterile osprey]

Oh? Ok thank you I'll look into it

[rich cloak]

FileZilla FTP app, free and easy to use

[rough crater]

just one warning.. the app is a weird one.. make sure you download and test it on a thow away pc like a virtual machine before installing it for real

[rich cloak]

I would not call FileZilla "Weird" lol

[celest halo]

file explorer already included with windows lmao

[dusky vapor]

Is there no way to have RCON actually display logs live like the console? Using getgamelog everytime I use a command to see the response is annoying lol

[rough crater]

a few years ago.. more like 5+ years ago i downloaded it and came with a trojan because i clicked the wrong place to download it. if you have no ad blocker/antivirus it can lead you to other unwanted trojans.

anyway have all a good night. i'm off to bed.

[sterile osprey]

Have a good one

[bleak ivy]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#Slomo:~:text=cheat OpenMap TheIsland-,Playercommand,-This command is

[modern finch]

My server is Visable and working again, it was 100% the Epicgame Certs. There are updated instructions on the wiki for dedi server setup on how to remove the old ones and install the new ones, follow it carefully!

[rich cloak]

Link?

[modern finch]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

[glad cave]

perfect, been having this issue too - thank you for sharing the solution!

[dusky vapor]

What ARKon is that ?

[rich cloak]

I was just making progress getting it running on a WIN-11 VM haha

[sterile osprey]

I'm thinking I'm going to have to run my own server, I'm getting memory crashes on nitrados server quite often

[rich cloak]

Ok, I followed all of the new Cert directions, and my 2022 server is back to being viewable, Huzzah!

[rich cloak]

Thank you for passing that on!

[sterile spade]

anyone with a server know how to disable stat values above dinos heads? (health,weight, etc.) making it lag really bad

[dawn plinth]

love how ZERO communication went out about admins should update their certificates

[gloomy hinge]

Hey guys, got an odd thing going on wondering if anyone has tried this. Want to transfer my ASA world from my dedi server to my local PC for singleplayer, only the game goes crazy with crashes every time I try to run it after copying the files and renaming to localplayer etc

[unborn sinew]

Hi All, anyone else experiencing a lot of mini Lag´s / jerking since the last to patch releases .

[celest halo]

i only got that to work when client and server where same version number

[gloomy hinge]

Thanks Stolenvw I'll give that a try, it certainly is given messages about conflicting dodo Character BP and then talks about cooked shader maps from unknown threads. Ill try checking version numbers etc

[frigid vine]

A question about crossplay: it will be possible that Xbox, PS and steam (PC) users can play together right? Do i remember that correcly? Or only Steam players and console players?

[bleak ivy]

in ASA all platforms will be able to play together. (xbox series, Playstation 5, windows(MS store), and steam)
in ASE its steam with epic (no mods)
xbox with win10(microsoft store/gamepass PC)
and switch, playstation and mobile are alone.

[frigid vine]

Thanks for the great and quick reply. Thank you!

[sterile osprey]

I'm I tried having the dino count on my sever and my ram usage hasn't changed at all?

I've tried both - DinoCountMultiplier=0.5 and - setdinocount = 0.5
And I'm not seeing a change

[ruby merlin]

did u do a dino wipe after setting it

if u change anything to difficulty wild dino lvl etc it wont take effect until u kill all wild dino in game

[sterile osprey]

Understood I'll have to try that

[frigid badger]

Anyone know if there's something we can do to fix this bug with the black hole at 50/50? Every single fucking crash we have to go clean out 50/50.

[olive pecan]

Hello guys! I'm trying to increase Achatina Paste stack by ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity but it's not working. Looks like it's not the same blueprint as ASE, dunno. I am using "PrimalItemResource_SnailPaste_C", other resources/consumables are stacking well. Some ideas? 😦

[quick swallow]

So whats the deal with the epic certificate? Since today epic players cant even see my server (jsut running on a win10 system), i did the crl install, reboot but to no avail.

[rich cloak]

NOTE: -ActiveEvent=TurkeyTrial

[olive pecan]

do we have events in ASA? colored dinos?

[rich cloak]

I guess we will see!

[rich cloak]

I can verify, that command does work on the current Ascended version

[ruby merlin]

user ini or gameusersettings

or game ini

[rich cloak]

server start command

[ruby merlin]

ok ty

[fair veldt]

We are having the same problem, it's so buggy that we have just stopped trying to run a server

I wish I could just play ark on a dedicated server

[quick swallow]

normaly on windows 10 (non server) it would just fix itself, but no idea what exactly happened today that made it stop working
