unofficial-setup-help

[celest halo]

still can with minor

[azure portal]

Oh yeah I'm super glad I'm not paying money for hosting. Did Nitrado ever lower their outrageous prices?

[hasty elbow]

Thats what I'm saying

[sterile osprey]

Paying for the server is half the reason why people run there own, nitrados support is terrible and its overpriced.

[regal tusk]

still dumb prices

[azure portal]

They dropped the minimum slots from 26 to 20, wow, still minimum $25 a month. What a sham.

[reef charm]

I run my own because my hardware is way better than what they allocate..

[native wave]

I bought my server off ebay and it runs in a rack down in my basement.

[sullen heath]

a minecraft server with 20 slots and 7gb ram is way more expensive ....

[regal tusk]

yeah thats what i mean, like if people are paying to host a server thats not official, theyre giving them more money and still have the shitty instability, makes no sense to pull unofficial down with a poor patch

[azure portal]

I'm just running it off an old pc I got in 2016, hahah

[sterile osprey]

yeah it sucks, there was a small period where nitrados paid servers were more smooth then offical servers. Even with the crashes every 6 or so hours.

[regal tusk]

do you guys host too like for others to join or just for yourselves?

[azure portal]

I have a few friends that play on mine

[regal tusk]

i vagely remember that!

[native wave]

I'm just up the road from an electronics recycler that gets stuff from all the companies in the area...including Whirlpool, who has their corporate HQ here

[sterile osprey]

I host as well, thanks to many of you in this chat.

[azure portal]

I'm on the west coast and my buddy is in New York and he gets a better ping to my server than to any of the east coast official servers

[regal tusk]

i bet ahahaha

[deep flower]

Got good specs?

[azure portal]

Not at all

[regal tusk]

trying to get my friend to set one up, his got a server running minecraft servers and stuff

[deep flower]

I hope 128gb of ram is good enough to run a big cluster

[celest halo]

right now got one friend that plays on mine with me

[hasty elbow]

runs fine on old Dell workstations for like 2015 with 32GB RAM 😛 - just dont go crazy haha

[sterile osprey]

should be about 4 maps

[celest halo]

my ASE cluster there was 8 of us on

[deep flower]

😭

[sterile osprey]

More without mods

[hasty elbow]

nope, got 192GB and its not enough

[azure portal]

i7-6700k, GTX 1070 (which doesn't really matter), and 32 gigs of ram

[native wave]

I have 384GB in mine, originally had 128GB, but I upgraded

[deep flower]

nice not bad!

[sterile osprey]

Yeah I am using about 25 gigs of ram with mods. Somehow While also playing only about 32 gigs

[deep flower]

Jesus

[azure portal]

It's my old gaming rig

[regal tusk]

when hosting your own its mostly ram or alot of cpu usage too?

[native wave]

it's all DDR3 though

[celest halo]

nice i only have 192 in mine

[wanton storm]

Play with 32 DINO GIGAS. 😉

[celest halo]

same lol

[sterile osprey]

My ram gets hit harder but I got a solid pc

[hasty elbow]

whats the processor?

[azure portal]

Doesn't really matter if you've got that much, haha, that's a sweet setup though

I want to get a server rack and also set up some NAS I'm just poor and lazy

[native wave]

slower cpu and ram, but more cores lets me run a lot of servers, not just ark. have an ASE cluster that is offline atm

[deep flower]

i am at 128gb of ddr4 at 3200

[ruby merlin]

That's just how your net companies work over there they throttle to other services if ones on compass and another isn't they throttle the net between the 2 it's disgusting practice

[deep flower]

with a Ryzen 7 5800X

[lyric python]

96GB DDR5 at 6400

[regal tusk]

nice nice, my friends should be fine then! keen to harass him to get it setup haha

[deep flower]

badass!

[ruby merlin]

And any signal leaving the US to another country is capped really low

[sterile osprey]

Its a process but one that isnt too different from ase

[azure portal]

I haven't really done the research on setting up clusters. Do you just run multiple servers on the same machine?

[wanton storm]

I same CPU. 😉

[hasty elbow]

ARK Server likes singel core speed. I ran ARK on Dell servers with 1024GB of RAM and the CPU needs high clock speed cores because the game thread isn't split up

[deep flower]

W

it was from my old pc and its getting worked like a dog rn lol

[regal tusk]

have the same question also haha

[native wave]

essentially same vm but run in different docker containers. Each has their own set of ports allocated

[hasty elbow]

becomes apparent when you get like 30+ players online how much it likes to hog single core

[native wave]

I use pterodactyl to run my servers

[ruby merlin]

All gaming likes single core that's why a lot of cpu that has more cores then ghz often get low ratings in the gaming reviews

[deep flower]

my sever cpu runs at 70-85 C all the time i wonder how long it will last

[wanton storm]

Pterodactyl good panel for games.

[azure portal]

Ahh interesting, so I'm gonna have to run VMs either way huh?

[native wave]

never had more than like 5 people playing on my servers. It's just for friends I game with

[wanton storm]

And SO installed, Ubuntu?

[hasty elbow]

not necessarily, thread safety can be designed into differnt games quiet easily, I think you are talkign about end user gamign not game servers

[ruby merlin]

If its amd them temps are normal

[native wave]

proxmox->Ubuntu VMs->docker

[deep flower]

yup! and sweet that makes me feel better

[azure portal]

I'm just running on windows so that's gonna be annoying for me, hahah

[hasty elbow]

set CPU affinity

[sterile osprey]

Is anyone having issue with arkon? I cant past through broadcasts externally. I can only pass it through in game admin commands.

[wanton storm]

->proton or wine?

[celest halo]

ASA uses more then one core on a server, just uses one heavier then the others

[hasty elbow]

yeah, had to make a new RCON manager in .NET, but no luck with broadcast

[azure portal]

Yeah I really should. My brother plays CoD on that machine too, haha

[timid tiger]

@celest halo backend steam bot on steamdb worked now..

[hasty elbow]

yeah - the Game Thread

[ruby merlin]

Amd run on average 20 degrees hotter then intel but have a higher threshold on safety temps intell usually say 110 is damaging where amd can run 130

[native wave]

I've always just wanted a system I could spin up servers for games I like to play...this lets me do it. Only server I've had issues with so far is Space Engineers as it prefers higher core speed for the physics

[celest halo]

yeah i seen it come back online

[native wave]

ASA is running on Proton, the ASE servers use wine native linux server

[azure portal]

Last update was 2 minutes ago to beta and stuff, so if this works shouldn't be much longer

[wanton storm]

Good men. 😉

[reef charm]

Proton uses wine

[deep flower]

thats insane i didn't know the temps could go that high

[native wave]

wait scratch that, I have other servers running on wine. ASE runs native

[wanton storm]

My test with Virtual Box and Pterodactyl with server Ubuntu.

[native wave]

and yeah proton is a fork of wine

[reef charm]

I just have all my servers run normally on a random Hyper-V VM on my Windows server

[lavish grail]

How long do yall think this is gonna take

[hard quail]

anyone know why i can join my unofficial server but my buddy who just downloaded the game cant see any unofficial servers? thanks in advance ❤️

[celest halo]

couple of hours

[sterile osprey]

is the server ran off your own pc or hosted through nitrado?

[lavish grail]

because of the new update, its not on unofficial servers yet

[hard quail]

hosted through nitrado

[celest halo]

they got the new version, your still on old so you can connect

[hard quail]

ohhh so ill need to update the nitrado server then so he can see it gotcha thanks ❤️

[deep flower]

oh god lol

[native wave]

I haven't updated my client...so I'm still on my server. got players who want to play, but can't right now because I can't update the server yet

[reef charm]

You ca'nt yet

[azure portal]

They haven't pushed the update out yet

[ruby merlin]

Sorry that was a bad way to try and simplify a very complex problem that would take me a Web page to explain

[lavish grail]

u cant update your server yet

[deep flower]

ark servers down rn

[hard quail]

oh so hes just stuck not playing lol is there a way to revert his game update?

[reef charm]

You can't update it. They screwed up the update bad and won't push it to unofficials yet. So your friend is SOL until this gets fixed - we're about an hour into the debacle

[ruby merlin]

Anyway really off topic so carry on

[hard quail]

ahhhh gotcha ok damn welp preciate the help ❤️

[hasty elbow]

haha, yeah it really depends on the game logic and if it can be implemented in a thread safe way, ARK and high tick games like FPS are notoriously hard to make thread safe

[compact goblet]

Is there a way to link unofficial server rates and events to official, or do I have to manually change the settings myself?

[ruby merlin]

Yeah I see you got what I was saying lol

[azure portal]

Multithreading / Processing is a pain in the ass enough when you're not dealing with a monolithic application like a game

[celest halo]

enable dynamicconfig

[reef charm]

Manually set. You can see the current rates in #server-rates to mirror it

[compact goblet]

2 conflicting answers O.O

[celest halo]

-UseDynamicConfig in the bat file

[compact goblet]

I have nitrado server.

Don't think there's a bat file?

[azure portal]

Doesn't dynamic config just allow you to change the settings while the server is running via http?

Does wildcard have a url you can point it to that matches official servers?

[celest halo]

do they have a startup options

[celest halo]

it points to there url by default

you have to add CustomDynamicConfigUrl to use your own url

[azure portal]

Ohhhh that's pretty cool tbh

[compact goblet]

Not sure. Can look in the server files

Not seeing one. Would it be in the same place as the arksa folder?

[celest halo]

dont know, i dont use nitrado, i would check there dashboard

[reef charm]

I haven't used that before. Can you specify smalltribes for the dynamicconfig?

I match my server to small tribes rates so that would be nice

[celest halo]

if you knew the url for small tribes

[reef charm]

Yes what I am asking is whether or not there's an official URL for smalltribes. If it's defaulting to their URL like you said, then there's an official URL for their servers

[echo nest]

ok guys does anyone have a private ark server running on a linux instance?
I cannot seem to get the automods to work

[celest halo]

dont know if this has been updated for ASA but the urls for ASE are here https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Web_API

[reef charm]

Thanks for all the info!

[azure portal]

The smalltribes ini from that should still work, most of the server settings are the same

[rustic geode]

updated client now cannot access my server restarted it and all to see if it would update is the newest version available for unofficial server clients?

[azure portal]

I don't think they're up to date just by comparing that to the recent #server-rates post

[celest halo]

its not the same rates though

[echo nest]

Ok I cannot seem to get any mods to work. Wth. Anyone open to guide me?

[pure plover]

nope public branch still on 26.41 :/

[azure portal]

I run my server on windows unfortunately :\

[echo nest]

Should work the same I guess. But where do you put your Mods and how do you manage them if I may ask?

[celest halo]

-mods=modid,modid in the bat file

[azure portal]

^

In whatever file you use to launch your server just add that argument

ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen -mods=939228,928708,929578,933099,930389,932225,929420,930494 Here's an example

[rustic geode]

oh damn

[echo nest]

ohhh thats a new try

[azure portal]

How are you launching your server now?

[deep flower]

don't you need the -automanagedmods thing too

[azure portal]

I haven't needed to

[echo nest]

?GameModIds=569786012?ShowFloatingDamageText=true?AllowRaidDinoFeeding=true -server -log -activeevent=none -NoTransferFromFiltering -noundermeshkilling -UseVivox

[pure plover]

automanagedmods is depreciated with ascended

[echo nest]

but I guess GameModIds doesnt work

[deep flower]

ah okay

[azure portal]

Yeah, keep all that other stuff in there

Add the -mods tag at the end

[pure plover]

yeah syntax for mods in ascended is just -mods=xx,xx

[azure portal]

with all the mod ids obviously

[azure portal]

Except this I guess, haha

[celest halo]

that dont even look like a ASA modid most i have seen start with 93

[azure portal]

I was gonna ask about that too, haha

[echo nest]

I run ASE and ASA, both modmodifications to the server dont work

I just thought ASE Configs might work on ASA too, so I tried, but it doesnt

[azure portal]

Most of it is the same yeah but there are some minor differences

[echo nest]

What does ASE use for mods when ASA is using -mods tag ?

[azure portal]

They just said in general they're prepping to deploy the update

[celest halo]

ASE uses steam workshop, ASA uses curseforge for mods. modid s on curseforge is the project id number

[deep flower]

is Vivox still a thing?

[echo nest]

Oh god.

[celest halo]

ASE i had to download the mods and do a setting in GUS

[azure portal]

Yeah the mod you might be trying to use may not even be available for ASA

[fast osprey]

the game is a joOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOkke

[deep flower]

AllowCaveBuildingPvE - is this just for artifact caves or all caves

[azure portal]

¿ k

[echo nest]

ok, but first ASE, I cant even get the mods running there... Copied the workshop folder to Config/Mods, added to GUS.ini the ActiveMods=<modid> and still its not there

[azure portal]

I won't be much help with ASE, I did all that on G-Portal back in the day

[echo nest]

Yikes...

The Server is so bugged, I had to reinstall ASA 4 times, until it ran without crashing instantly >->

[young minnow]

How fast is your internet, DAMMMMMMMMMMM

[echo nest]

100gib/s on V-Server

[azure portal]

So if you have -automanagedmods enabled, then this will always update all your mods listed in your gameusersettings.``` This is what I was able to find @echo nest

[young minnow]

DAM

[deep flower]

That for ASA?

[azure portal]

ASE

[echo nest]

-automanagedmods autocrashes my server in ASE 😄

[deep flower]

gotcha

[cold brook]

automanagedmods is extremely not recommended

[azure portal]

oof

[echo nest]

Ikr, and all for the price of 15 bucks a month

[azure portal]

So I guess the only solution is to download the mods on steam via the workshop, copy the files to the dedicated server, then update the ActiveMods value in your gameusersettings.ini?

[echo nest]

Yes, and I did that, and prosumeably wrong

[regal tusk]

jesus wheres that through haha

[echo nest]

Germany 😄

[azure portal]

Who are you hosting with?

[regal tusk]

ooof will hurt me being in AUS

wwe have the worst internet in the world TBH

[azure portal]

And massive spiders to boot

[young minnow]

100%

[regal tusk]

that also^

i can deal wwith the creatures wanting to kill you

[echo nest]

Yeah, we have some providers sitting in Frankfurt an Munchen, being deadass cheap, and having the craziest Data-Stream ever. Even Steam cant give me that much downloadspeed as I have on the server.

[regal tusk]

but the internet, fml its horrible, its also one of the most expensive in the world! and we get crap all for it haha

[cobalt idol]

just confirm. atm the unoffiicial servers are not showing in the game server list, right?

[lyric python]

Why? In ASA?

[azure portal]

ASE, automanagedmods isn't a thing for ASA

[lyric python]

Yeah got confused for a sec. Ty

[thorn roost]

yes and connecting timeout

[cobalt idol]

thanks. i do not see any servers, i'm just confirming it is not a problem in my side.

[azure portal]

Apparently the issue with automanagedmods is when steamCMD isn't installed on the system. The ASE dedicated server only comes with a windows version :\

The server will try to run the windows version and then die

[bronze bronze]

hey @celest halo they released the major ver yet? 😛

[cobalt idol]

Not for unofficial servers.

[azure portal]

@echo nest I can dm you a link to a post explaining it and a possible fix if you want

[echo nest]

sure

[strong tangle]

why i cant see any unofficial server up?

[valid dagger]

in steamdb the public branch is updated, but my server is not updating e.e

[echo nest]

Gotta correct it, I just checked and its 10Gib/s not 100

[brave lynx]

WC hasnt pushed the patch to unofficials yet

[azure portal]

There's a version mismatch. We're waiting for them to push the update for unofficial servers

[strong tangle]

ty

[timid tiger]

server public is not updated

[echo nest]

Bruh, my provider officially limits Traffic outgoing to Japan and AUS

[regal tusk]

ofcourse it does, AUS is trash hahaha

[echo nest]

32 TB Traffic/Year for the world, except its 10TB/Year for Japan and Aus together.
Ah yes

[regal tusk]

hahahaha NERF

bro its bad here lol, my internet DCs daily

at least once a day

[ivory yarrow]

that sucks you must have a bad provider

aussie broadband or telstra never go out

if you want to spend the money

[winter granite]

When is WC gonna fix unoffical

[echo nest]

Bro wth did I just read:

for whatever reason in a 'dedicated linux server' set of files, the only SteamCMD files that are present are WINDOWS based

[winter granite]

Also wait... Did they release a Linux Server yet?

[lunar cloud]

nope proton is the way i run my server

[echo nest]

this exactly

[regal tusk]

deff do, im wwith TPG

i got told they were great, i was lied too haha

[lunar cloud]

ark on proton on debian in docker , on kubernetes 😄 living on the edge

[echo nest]

Also LinuxGSM Team is working on making ASA work on linux, but they rely on proton too right now.

[echo nest]

[timid tiger]

public server branch updatet

[regal tusk]

nothing yet, sucks

[ruby merlin]

i wonder how many servers will get switched to linux on the file drop

[strong tangle]

2 unofficials updated

[quiet trellis]

It will take an additional 3 hours for Nitrado...

[timid tiger]

Public was updated 2 minutes ago.

[regal tusk]

ooooo

[pure plover]

dollie just made the announcement

[olive wasp]

Server is updating now. Go team!

[echo nest]

90% for sure, since 90% on ASA are running on proton

[hexed warren]

did nitrado already announce something?

[timid tiger]

who cares about nitrado?

[ruby merlin]

devs are quick on the updates this time around last time this would have took days

[versed granite]

Most people running a server. But dont have the own Hardware/knowledge to do so.

[olive sleet]

To be fair the other times were only minor patches. This batch of patches is backwards incompatible

[torn void]

how do we make sure our servers have crossplay enabled?

[jovial idol]

When they will release the option server mod in settings

[manic coral]

I think you need to add -crossplay to your startup command

[jovial idol]

[echo nest]

Basically just get yourself a VPS with 16Gig Ram, having unlimited Players and all the customization options possible at half the price of nitrado.
People running nitrado just dont want to sit 5-6hrs there to get the server runnin

[carmine hare]

[ruby merlin]

pfffft 5-6 hours with beacon for ark and a decent manager 20 mins top

5 mins of that is port config and forwarding

[echo nest]

You forget the security my friend.

And actually gettin up to the point that you understand what you do is also time consuming

A pure beginner, never ever having a server hosted will need time to adjust and thats minimum 3hrs into it

[olive sleet]

The in-game Server List seems to show a lot more servers now, mine is appearing in the lsit without searching.

[ruby merlin]

if therew messing with a nitrado server already they know a basic setup on configs and sliders beacon makes it 100 times easier i stand by what i said

[echo nest]

Ok, have fun getting your server hijacked in minutes 🙂

[ruby merlin]

now a newb i say maybe 2 hours top

[low dew]

updated server still cant see it still broken thanks wildcard

[jovial idol]

If your server is on Nitrado that's not wildcard problem

[echo nest]

Bro already configurating your remote login is more than 2 hours if you want to understand it properly

[low dew]

@jovial idol i do not use nitrado i use real steel

[jovial idol]

oh ok ok

[low dew]

i had nitrado for 1 week

[olive sleet]

Terrible movie.
But also I host on baremetal, my server updated and appears fine.

[low dew]

never again will i use nitrado lol

[jovial idol]

btw guys I need to unlock the possibility to build closer than air drop loot spawn location someone have the line for the ini about it or that's not possible ?

[low dew]

using nitrado is like paying someone to kick you in the knads over and over again

[regal tusk]

your own metal or hosting somewhere?

[bronze bronze]

i assume we only need -crossplay for xbox yeah?

[low dew]

@regal tusk metal from a a host

[olive sleet]

Own metal.

[echo nest]

Yes, nitrado is just people paying for an overpriced service thats limited by what they tell you. So basically you pay for sitting inside a cage.

[low dew]

lol pretty much drack

[lost kettle]

Any of the unofficial server owners been able to connect to their server yet or are we still getting the timeout?

[regal tusk]

i need to do that haha

[olive sleet]

Connected and playing right now

[low dew]

i cant even see mine anymore since the patch@lost kettle but i know its online accepting commands from battlemetrics

[lost kettle]

I'm still getting the Host Connection Timeout Lost/timedout connection to host
@olive sleet are you running any mods on it?

[olive sleet]

No mods

[low dew]

i run mods

[lost kettle]

ditto

[thorn musk]

no possible to joint my server 😦

[low dew]

@lost kettle whats the name of your server ill try to join it for lols to see if i can get on

[lost kettle]

have to connect via the console command the server doesnt show up on the list

[low dew]

direct connect has never worked for me

nvm

[snow mason]

Same here. Both client and server updated. Assume there's still an issue so will wait.

[low dew]

@lost kettle timeout

[lost kettle]

modded server ?

[snow mason]

No

[low dew]

i was able to direct connect to mine

[lost kettle]

yeah @low dew thank you for checking, I saw the connection come in to the server

[low dew]

then i was in the middle of the map naked then timed out so theres a serious issue thanks to wildcard

[lavish grail]

Been waiting to play on the server im paying for, for over 3 hours

[low dew]

same

[lost kettle]

dont pay for it....

[versed granite]

My client already updated to V31.24 just now. Can they just stop pushing out updates every hour

[lost kettle]

hosting your own isnt hard (he says, currently unable to connect to his server and having never been able to see it on the server list)

[low dew]

unfortunatly i live in a school bus and have sattilite internet so i dont have luxuaries of hosting locally on a machine

[lost kettle]

understandable in your situation rex

[snow mason]

haha, same here @lost kettle Always have to connect via IP. 😄

[olive sleet]

People already complain they don't update enough lol, which one do we want.

[low dew]

@olive sleet benice if they tested there broken updates first rather then just release garbage and break everything

[lost kettle]

oh yeah new client patch just dropped ~4-5 mins ago?

[versed granite]

I can understand a hotfix comming out fast. every other version can just wait. Be tested and then rolled out once a week for all platforms at the same time. Thats a way better way of working on a game.

[lavish grail]

Yeah I mean if I had a machine to run my own server on I would

Fuck you and your 3 little dots

[lost kettle]

works now

[lavish grail]

Ole dot dot dot ass

[lost kettle]

update your client, server version should be 31.23, client version 31.24

[manic coral]

Is there any way to fix dinos being invisible/flying upwards? Sometimes punching where they are supposed to be(they are there, the client just doesnt see its there) works but it is pretty annyoing

[low dew]

@lost kettle thats what i have still broken

[daring ferry]

How do u direct connect on ASA

[low dew]

` then type open plus ip and port

[lavish grail]

Just gotta wait for a patch that will lock us out of playing for 4 hours and that will be fixed

The game is so broken they update it every 12 hours so I’m sure one will address that sooner or later

[lost kettle]

hmm, try connecting to mine again?

[manic coral]

To bad 😄 i hoped there was a setting that fixes it like there are for some crashes 😅

[lost kettle]

that'll let you know if the problem is your client or the server

[olive sleet]

Sadly no settings to fix it right now, hopefully they patch it soon

[low dew]

@lost kettle i was able to connect

[lost kettle]

so your server

take your server down and run an update again

[manic coral]

Do you need to join a singleplayer First to do that? Have not been able to Open the console besides joining my sp and opening thr console then.

[lost kettle]

it will verify the installation

[low dew]

@manic coral no just in menu before you hit join

[lost kettle]

no you can ` open IP:port from anywhere in the main menu

[manic coral]

Alright just gotta be patient then ^^

[manic coral]

Mhh weird i gotta try that again, can that key be changed or is that a fixed key?

[daring ferry]

spacing between Open and IP?

[hot tree]

hi can someone tell me which mod you use to see the stats of the dinos?

[manic coral]

Yes

[daring ferry]

Yeah no worries just tried, says connection timeout

[olive sleet]

Can be changed under Settings > Keyboard > "Toggle Console" in the middle column**

[low dew]

lol

[thorn musk]

me too

[low dew]

i can join my server but cant play due to constant crashing

[manic coral]

Pretty sure i changed that to something else and it still didnt work, i always join the sp first and open the console over the settings that way. Will try that, thanks

[low dew]

the port for you is probably 7777

[ornate shell]

I cant join my server for endless timeouts . then it says waiting to join . have to restart client but same thing over and over

[low dew]

when ark outta prealpha

[neon portal]

Nitrado update live allready?

[low dew]

i play star citizen and i dont have as much problems playing that prealpha game then i do this game lol

[haughty pollen]

Is ASA meant to support cross ark travel yet? I know official hasn't enabled it, but is this feature even a thing in ASA yet? I'm trying to enable it to jump between island servers, but it just seems to let you upload your survivor and nothing else.

[low dew]

dunno should be similar coding to ase but im sure it will be fed up for a bit beacause wildcard

[haughty pollen]

yea fairly sure it doesn't work yet 🤦‍♂️

[ornate shell]

well I guess till WC sorts this BS out I will go back to my ASE servers since I cant join ASA server

[manic coral]

Does joining with 31.23(Server) and newest client work yet? Seen issues with people timing out so i just wanna make sure its working now before i update

[lost kettle]

works for my (modded) server

[young minnow]

It wont be out till Scorched earth comes out

[low dew]

@lost kettle still no work on my end

[lost kettle]

you said yours was hosted via nitrado?

[low dew]

no its a real steel machine

[lost kettle]

oh

[low dew]

its just rented from a host

[quiet trellis]

Nitrado just released the update for those renting the servers.

[low dew]

if you like paying someone alot of money to kick you in the knads you go with nitrado and there over priced garbage

i can run multiple ark servers with 70 slots for the same price as one nitrado server with 50 slots lol

[manic coral]

And you are on the newest client too? They dropped quiet a few Updates since i woke up today 😂😂

[low dew]

the uhh 27.24 or somthing

[lost kettle]

i cant verify what client build im on its the recent one

[low dew]

im on the latest i even verified

[manic coral]

31.24?

[low dew]

thats it

[brittle kelp]

ehh my server updated to 31.23 ... and I can't connect

[manic coral]

Mhh weird, guess i wait for more people to try 😄

50/50 is not worth risking it for

[lost kettle]

oh yeah i can, its in the escape menu... 31.24 is the client build im on

[low dew]

i had to verify my world wasnt corrupted and uploaded a empty save

it is indeed the patch from wc not the save

[lost kettle]

31.23 is the server build

[manic coral]

Is your client up to date (31.24)?

[low dew]

i did get into my server and i was naked in the middle of the map lol basically was connected but not connect then timed out after about 20 seconds

welp im off to bed im sure ill have a few peeved people in the morning when they try to jump on the server

[daring ferry]

Crashing non-stop

[low dew]

yeah i had that to if i didnt time out id just crash

[brittle kelp]

yes it is... I just someone react with restarting my system, I'm trying that now

[lost kettle]

myself and my wife are both connected to ours

[low dew]

@lost kettle must be nice

[lost kettle]

we are however on the same network as the server (which might be making a difference)

but Rex, you said you could connect to mine?

[low dew]

i did get on your server to and had the character creater

thats as far as i went

[quiet trellis]

My server is working fine with the last update

[brittle kelp]

restarted my system, and now I can indeed connect to my server again 😅

[low dew]

i also did a restart to

[quiet trellis]

What is the issue Rex?

[lost kettle]

whats your server ip rex?

[low dew]

timing out trying to connec to my server

i have it offline to protect peoples babies ill spin it back up tho

[lost kettle]

right, i can try connecting to yours if you like

[low dew]

sure

give me a moment the ip is 154.16.247.43:7777

[manic coral]

That would be nice, i also play with my wife locally 😄

[lost kettle]

... lucky man

[low dew]

i dont have a wife i live in a school bus

[lost kettle]

we're 21 years in... I mostly play with myself locally

[low dew]

server is running now

[lost kettle]

ahhhhh might it be a problem with battle eye?

[manic coral]

Oh well 5 years and i hope that aint changing 😄 but she is into games so unless our taste in games starts to differ i hope we play together for the rest 😄

[low dew]

your running no battle eye?

[lost kettle]

my server is no battle eye

[low dew]

let me rewrite the batch and see

[lost kettle]

i just tried to join yours and had to restart the client to run battleeye

im trying to connect now

[low dew]

i joined your server with battleeye

i know the server is up because rcon is working

[lost kettle]

if you have battle eye on it just ignores it when you join my server with no battle eye

I'm not getting an error message trying to join yours

oh it will be downloading mods, this may take a couple tries

[low dew]

i noly have a few mods

like 12 to be exact

[lost kettle]

i got kicked (it may hgave been a legitimate timeout due to the mod download speed)

[manic coral]

Maybe its a mod causing issues?

[low dew]

might be battleeye :/

[quiet trellis]

could be an outaded mod for sure

[lost kettle]

give me a couple goes

kicked

try a batch without the no battleeye flag

[low dew]

ok

i already took a backup so nothing we can do to break the server

[lost kettle]

good thinking 🙂

[low dew]

alright starting with no bat eye

[manic coral]

I always backup my whole vm and just roll Back 😂 also nightly backups of all my vms

[low dew]

i have a back up manager

[manic coral]

Never needed it except for rolling back an ark version 😂😂😂

[low dew]

takes a copy every 1.5 hours about 12 of em

[manic coral]

Better have them, then need them 👌

[lost kettle]

kicked again

[low dew]

i dunno it was all working great up till the patch

[lost kettle]

might be a mod compatibility issue, i'm running:
Utilities Plus - 928621
Cliffans Backpacks - 930170
Better Rafts - 929347
Maewings - 929521
Super Cryo Storages - 933099
K+ ASA - 931973

[low dew]

i have 2 of those lol

[lost kettle]

yeah i just get kicked from yours

im gonna assume its a mod compatibility problem

[low dew]

lol i got in 20 sec then kicked check this out im gonna send u a photo

its like it starts to render in then it times out

my base

[lost kettle]

try a blank world file?

[low dew]

i just time out right away on a new save

[quiet trellis]

guy was having this issue on my server, he had to change hotspot in his house to make it work. Try flushing DNS and restarting your router

[low dew]

my internet is a bit different but ill try

[lost kettle]

weird that i'd be having the same issue though

[low dew]

i donno

might get fixed in the morning or start working

[thorn musk]

I have two servers on a dedicated machine
a modded pve
and a no mod pvp test

I get kicked out after 20 seconds on 2 servers

[low dew]

yup nothing works i think its a hit or miss with unofficial servers and people

[thorn musk]

just crazy 😥

[low dew]

this is nothing new while good devs test there patches wild card just releases what ever garbage they download from epic games marketplace

ase was just as bad for the first 9 years

off to bed to try again because i like ark and am a sucker for punishment

[lost kettle]

lol sleep well

[wise solstice]

Hello, friends. Is it possible to add comments in the config files?

No. I want to organize my configuration files with comments

Like using a hashtag as header.

[lost kettle]

I dont believe the ini files can deal with comments but I could be wrong

[wise solstice]

That's what I kept seeing, but the posts were old so wanted to see if anyone had any updated information

Thank you

[lost kettle]

xml is nice for that 🙂

[spring dragon]

Just gotta figure out what key you can use to make it a commented section. When I was writing lua scripts we used the - - two minus signs made it a comment if we wanted to do a whole section it was - - [ ] - -

[quiet trellis]

Usually for ini files the default is ; for comments, I have't tried with Ark but its worth a shot

[dire relic]

Are servers up yet ?

[lost kettle]

Your unofficial server will need to be updated to 31.23 and your client will need to be updated to 31.24

[quiet trellis]

Yes

[hexed anchor]

Someone know how to enable Xbox cross-play on our dedicated server please ? 🙏🏼

[sharp grove]

anyone know how to disable it? thanks

[hexed anchor]

It's not by default i think.

Should be a flag to enable for that but i don't know how

[low dew]

It's -crossplay in the command line as far as I know to enable but could be wrong

[hexed anchor]

I just want to be sur, because flag can be different with Ascended !

[hexed anchor]

Do we have any confirmation about this friend ?

[low dew]

Majority of server settings and command lines are from ase so I don't see why that wouldent work as well

[carmine shoal]

Hey guys, how do we enable crossplay on a non nitrado server?

[hexed anchor]

Thanks by the way friend !

[hexed anchor]

We'll try -crossplay flag

[mental jewel]

It is, but when the server starts up it will strip them. I tried to do it as well.

[quiet trellis]

Have you tried using ";" for the comment?

it should work

[mental jewel]

No I used hashtag which is another comment character.

It read the file but removed the comment lines when I started and stopped the server.

Do you have ; lines persisting across restarts?

[quiet trellis]

I'll dm you, bot didn't like my asnwer lol

[rich cloak]

Try and use [Test Comment] and see of that stays

[wise solstice]

For me it removed both ; and hashtag

[mental jewel]

That would create a new section of the ini. Not really useful for inline comments.

[quiet trellis]

what might work is that if you put the file in read only after making the change. That way the server can't overwrite the files. But that might stop you from updating some stuff from the console in-game

[mental jewel]

What I did was create a template ini that gets copied into the server directory with all my comments.

A bit longer process but it works pretty well.

[tiny tapir]

any luck with RCON broadcasts for ASA ?

[quiet trellis]

I believe it doesn't work for now

[mental jewel]

I switched to using serverchat instead

[carmine shoal]

Good idea, will try this.

[quiet trellis]

serverchat works but without being able to use richcolor the yellow text wall is quite bothersome

[humble thicket]

hi guys so i disable movement leveling on my server but the wild dinos are way to fast u cannot outrun them what server setting can i change to make them slower

[mental jewel]

I use it for a shutdown countdown when I update so that’s a feature.

[mental jewel]

I don’t think there is a setting for that. You would need to add back in movement leveling if you want to be able to outrun them.

[quiet trellis]

Yeah that works, I made a bot so I automated that part using the serverchat for the 15m countown and the restart command itself

[humble thicket]

i think i need to change the wild dino movement i see it in my INI but they are numbered 1 to 10 so i am not sure what number is movement speed

[quiet trellis]

should be 7

wait not 7 is weight

[rich cloak]

9 is speed

[quiet trellis]

yeah 9 my bad

[humble thicket]

thank u il try editing 9

[mental jewel]

If it’s the PerLevelStatsMultiplier that won’t affect the wild Dino base speed though.

[rich cloak]

Ya I have never changed any wild stat level myself

[autumn jay]

Hi, is someone experiencing problems with with the parameter AllowFlyerCarryPvE=True it seems to not work anymore from the latest patch

[stuck bison]

my unofficial server does not update, do anyone knows what can be wrong?

[quiet trellis]

check if it isn't duplicated, you might have another line with False below. Also make sure its in GUS.ini

[autumn jay]

only one line containing "carry" and it's place in the good file

[thorn musk]

can you reach the servers where you are timaout?

[stuck bison]

found the prpb thx

[sly cedar]

What was causing the problem?

[manic coral]

Without mods its working fine for me 👍 just updated and tested it

[crimson parrot]

@quiet trellis @mental jewel @hearty laurel My workaround to broadcast not working over RCON has been to use setmessageoftheday / showmessageoftheday for server shutdown countdowns

[carmine shoal]

That’s pretty smart.

[quiet trellis]

I use my bot with serverchat, lot easier and I can set automated from my discord server

[limpid walrus]

Does anyone know if Nitrado will have support for ASA at launch on Xbox? How did it go for pc launch? We’re servers available to buy day 1?

[dense elm]

anyone know why some including my unofficial server is down? and others are not?

[quiet trellis]

You have to update the server to the latest version and your client as well

[limpid walrus]

Maybe an update on the rental end

[dense elm]

ok thanks Ren

i use GeforceNow atm so ill check my back end (giggedy)

[quiet trellis]

Yeah servers were available at launch, so I'm assuming it will be the same for xbox. Even though they don't have an option for the crossplay yet enabled. I think they will enable after release

[limpid walrus]

Hell yea Ren thanks, hopefully we get a smooth rollout today on both ends

[dense elm]

dont listen to people in general chat btw on performance, last 4 or 5 days been ALOT better

[quiet trellis]

I hope so, at least I don't think it will be as rocky as it was for pc at the start since things are starting to get stable

[lost valley]

i play on a nitrado server, when the host enables crossplay, will it wipe the server and start again?

[jaunty galleon]

Does anyone know what would cause a server to not download the latest version of mods? i've got a bunch (not all) that says they're out of date whenever i try to join my server that ends up downgrading them to the version before the latest, i've deleted everything several times and had files redownload but it hasn't helped

[dense elm]

is the server itself up to date?

[jaunty galleon]

Yeah i can join fine after it forced me to download but my mods are no longer the latest version

[dense elm]

thats weird, expect the unexpected today with xbox launch

[thorn musk]

personally I install the mods manually via the curse forge site

[dense elm]

i use the mods list option at main menu but it also prompts me when i join but i use GeforceNow so everytime i load in i have to redownlaod mods

[vital shadow]

so its not only me who needs to redownload mods all the time?

[manic coral]

Is beacon omni a subscription based service only or can you buy a permanent license?

[vital shadow]

permanen, but you choose how long update support you want

10 $ per year

[manic coral]

Ah alright i thought its only a limited time to use it. Thanks 😄

[olive heron]

the option just appeared on my server and i enabled it, it didnt wipe my server. alot of the mods are'nt crossplay tho which is a bit of a shame but hopefully they will update them to work

[near snow]

Where is that crossplay thing you enabled located?

[olive heron]

in the general section

[stuck bison]

In the start.bat was an update line. I made the update in a separate bat file an startet the old bat file with update line. Then the download started. Dont know why but it worked 😅

[vagrant barn]

Is it now possible to add the Svartalfheim map for NITRADO? I now see an area to choose custom maps, where yesterday i didn't

Also its showing as a crossplay feature

[marble kernel]

Looking for it since 3 weeks pm me if u got some news

For Crossplay i just have to add -crossplay to my script ?

[tiny tapir]

smart thanks.

[lone lodge]

Good morning, is anyone else having issues getting thier ASA to update?

[raven wigeon]

how we enable crossplay for the xbox?? -crossplay ??

[valid ruin]

Will all mods be available on Xbox on release or will they need to be updated by creators?

[near snow]

Same question here

[flat horizon]

im hosting a world on the island, to play on all maps on ark plus the story as well and
just have some fun with the game and enjoy, im hosting the game and the world will have
mods on it. discord is required to join so we can chat and enjoy good conversations with
others and im looking for new friends as well so hit me up please.

[placid heart]

How do we enable crossplatform

[nimble talon]

Do we know if we will get Ragnarok with ASA?

[spiral canopy]

What is a good difficulty setting for Nitrado server for 3 ppl? We've only played small amount of ASE, never beat any bosses. There are so many conflicting opinions on this. Should I just use Nitrado guide to set 150 max level dinos at 400% loot?

[dense heath]

Can you run dedicated servers off an Xbox like ASE? Dev response please:)

[olive sleet]

All DLCs (Scorched Earth to Genesis 2) will be released into ASA over time.

[vapid rover]

Morning, anyone else having issues with their server? The server updated and looks up, but we can't find it when we search for it. (it's been working great up until now)

[nimble talon]

Yea but I wasn't sure if Rag was included since it was originally a mod map

[frigid badger]

Are decay timers broken? Nothing is decaying. Every crash and restart the timers go back to max.

[raven wigeon]

@frigid badger yeah, it needs fix, anoying coz the servers are getting packed with crap

[frigid badger]

Yeah my admin team are trying to keep up with it but it's getting so hard to keep up with the bob huts

[undone swan]

does any one know if there is an a way to tell if a mod is cross play compatible ?

[carmine shoal]

Anyone else having issues with mods not downloading properly atm?

I assume it’s a Curseforge problem

[undone swan]

mods seem to download fine ingame

[real raft]

so, after updating my server, all my mods have been deleted.... I see that nitrado now has crossplay setting, so i disable them, only steam one is active, but the mod page keeps telling me i have them all enabled and keeps me from reinstalling them...

[coarse tulip]

Yeah, they already confirmed the center and rag will be returning

[real raft]

so now i have to wait untill they fix it or it will delete all my progress (dinos)

[nimble talon]

Ah awesome thanks! Rag is a great main base for clusters

[bronze patrol]

Do we need a special setting for enabling crossplay ?

[jaunty galleon]

Thought it was just me but they do seem to be broken

[undone swan]

im selfhosting decated and mods seem fine

[jaunty galleon]

only some mods seem to be affected at least in my case

[carmine shoal]

I imagine the server version for the mods is out of date

A restart may fix it.

[real raft]

i was using cryopod, death recovery and crafting skill potion...

restarted at least 5 times, nothing helps

[swift sleet]

Any other xbox homies ready to be disappointed in an hour when Nitrado inevitably doesn't have console servers ready, and when they do mods won't work for some reason? Glory to the Nitrado monopoly!

[rigid helm]

Anyone here tried to use **Beacon Omni ** to fix ASA loot tables ?

[undone swan]

they did say servers wont be up right away didnt they ?

[swift sleet]

Officials

[manic robin]

any one have trouble joining a xbox player while im on mcirsoft pc?

says joined failed over and over no matter what we do

[undone swan]

aaah nitrado servers yeah wouldnt suprise me if its a giant mess with them lol

[swift sleet]

I've already accepted I'll be forced to play Non dedicated with my partner for at least a few days while Nitrado sorts themselves out

[rigid helm]

dont even try officials, trust me lol

[swift sleet]

But I want beacon omni and actual server customization now

Oh I don't play officials

[rigid helm]

I need someone with beacon omni

[undone swan]

i am fortunate to have a few older servers so i can self host

[rigid helm]

just to let me know if I can fix the goddamn blueprints that way.

[swift sleet]

You could ask in the beacon discord?

They are nice

[real raft]

whats wrong with the blueprints?

[rigid helm]

everyone is rolling with 755.3 crossbows/longnecks/shotties with 1400 flak

[real raft]

damn

[valid ruin]

From what I've seen on the Xbox version, only mods right now are the supported ones like Additions and Svartalheim

Which will make a lot of non-officials servers not joinable as you need to download the mods they have installed

[swift sleet]

As long as I can have cera and Deino I'd be happy

[rigid helm]

loot multiplier was 1.0 same was for fishing multipliers, we decreased it to 0.5, then to 0.1.. but it seems its not workign what so ever

[real raft]

and because nitrado assumes you automaticaly want all the crossplay, they force you in it and delete al the non-supported mods...

[rigid helm]

cause rest of the mods needs to update for crossservers, wont really take long

[valid ruin]

I really hope not, but we shall see

[quartz pewter]

Does anyone have any info on the status of -exclusivejoin not reading any of the new ID's from anywhere? I have the AdminListURL working correctly but as far as I can tell the exclusive join is just not working in the server itself.

[raven wigeon]

I created a cluster with that new map, but when i play the game doesnt show the option to travel to another server

[rigid helm]

Its happening already, couple modders even with (console ready) update just now stated it wont be possible to make it crossserver right from the beggining due to... well I dont rememebr this part because its console, therefore unimportant for me

[scarlet lichen]

i'm having the same issue. not sure if you needed the certs for your server but I had the old ones. they updated to new ones 11/18 so you have to uninstall the old certs, restart, install new certs, and in theory it should work. However, I have the same issue still. client and server versions are 31.23, servers looks to be running without issues, but not visible in the list 😦

[rigid helm]

they dont have clusters ready just yet, onl thing that is cluster able to do now, is being able to transfer stuff from singleplayer

[valid ruin]

Yeah I expected that, we'll see how long it takes. Frustrating but it is what it is. Hopefully, moving forward, mods will be automatically eligible for all platforms

[quartz pewter]

Considering XBOX is just a crippled low end pc, I really wish they would worry about getting everything working correctly on the PC before wasting all this time on consoles. If it doesnt work well on good hardware it definately wont on cheapo hardware.

[whole perch]

So the Mods when you enable cross play all vanish... So just be cautious everyone who already had a server set up and choose a bunch of mods. Almost NO Current mods you have added are compatible for Cross Play with Xbox once you enable the cross play everyone loses all the moded items and the mods are removed automatically.

[vapid rover]

The server checks for updates everytime it starts up, and it updated this morning when I started it. But the 'Ark Version' always shows as 26.11. Has that got something to do with it?

[quartz pewter]

The current server version available on steam is 31.23

[vapid rover]

Huh... I thought it updates everytime it starts? It looks like it's doing that?

[rigid helm]

well, its much easier to optimise game for console, I woudlnt be surprised if game looked and worked much better as thats more typical. I play on my 2060 (laptop) graphics without issues on high, well couple console commands to help but still.. you kinda have to optimize it all alone

[quartz pewter]

If your back on 26.11 your definately not up to date, they pushed the 32.23 at like 1:30am

[vapid rover]

How do I update? It looks like it checks for updates every time it starts

[quartz pewter]

yea im gonna call BS on that one. I play on a 2070 and it is barely fluid 30fps in open areas with things set to medium. If you get rid of the volumetric clouds and fog, you will gain about 15-20 fps but whats the point at that point, just go play ASE. There is no way a laptop discreet graphics card thats a 2060 will out perform a real 2070, just from heat shed alone.

[fading timber]

what would be the easiest way to update the server mods

[quartz pewter]

I believe its only curseforge

[fading timber]

no i mean like automated ark says it's out of date on my server

[quartz pewter]

no idea sorry. I dont mess with mods yet because the game isnt stable enough without them to be honest. I think all the mods are specifically going through overwolf tho, no longer the steam workshop.

[sage bay]

I am also getting this problem, normally it auto updates when I restart the server but it isnt today

[vagrant ledge]

there is something wierd going on with mods atm, everytime I close the game I have to update some of my mods everytime I join my server. And if you have the mods in your start batch file they should auto update when you start the server

[vagrant ledge]

Try making a batch file just for updating

[ruby merlin]

Same issue I'm having not found a solution yet

[vapid rover]

ooh, I like this idea. Is there a suggested source/website for the code to put in the batch file?

[civic moth]

has anyone reached the mutation cap on an unofficial server yet? im trying to find out if the mutation cap of 255 is 255-base levels = number of mutations available or if you can hit 255 mutations regardless of base levels

[fading timber]

deleting the mod on server and client seemed to work just now

automated ark was doing it for me and just kept redownloading

[vagrant ledge]

ohh might have to try that

[fading timber]

not ideal but it seems to have worked

[jaunty galleon]

i've been trying that for a while and hasn't worked lol

[sage bay]

this fixed it for me

[fading timber]

dang, ya when i just loaded a few minutes ago i had no AA engrams and it just kept downloading but i deleted the whole mod folder for it on server and client and now the engrams are back

[jaunty galleon]

be careful because from what i've noticed these "updates" are actually downgrading to the one before the latest

[fading timber]

well technically it didnt "update" since i deleted both folders entirely, it's a new install

[vagrant ledge]

ohh so deleting them and redownloading them fixes the engrams for the AA dinos?

[jaunty galleon]

i reinstalled and completely deleted the install folders for my server and the game, that also didn't work for me lol

[fading timber]

ya it just did for me now

[vagrant ledge]

ohh I need to do that then

[solid sand]

When we get our unofficial Nitrado servers, will we be able to cluster 2 Island maps together? Like we do for ASE?

[fading timber]

i had no AA engrams like 10 min ago, turned server off and deleted the mod folder from client and server, booted server and rejoined now theyre back

[crisp swallow]

anyy decent unofficial pvp servers to play on steam right now

[manic coral]

hey, currently i join my server locally via console "open IP:port", is there any way to add that to the steam favorites so i can join via the normal ark browser?

adding that manually in steam doesnt seem to find a server at the ip/port but i can definetly join it

[fading timber]

favorites arent working

ive joined my server from an external PC other than what i have it running on here and i know it works and is open but i can not favorite either and others who i know run servers said it just doesnt work

[celest halo]

server dont use steams network so steams server list cant find it

[quartz pewter]

Steam still only lists ASE favorites.

[manic coral]

that sucks haha, is there a way to join via console and a password? "open IP:port passwort" or something like that?

[rare scroll]

ENABLE CROSSPLAY Option NOW AVAILABLE ON NITRADO

[queen zinc]

Says it messes with mods. Gonna hold off on that one and let other people test. One wrong setting and your server is going to explode.

[raven wigeon]

now we need to figure if and how we get the xplay on our own self hosted servers

[rare scroll]

Facts, we need a guinea pig lol

[manic coral]

-crossplay to the start params should do it?

[quartz pewter]

Ill give you a hint how thats going to work especially after them being forced to allow dedicated servers in the way they did and lose out on revenue...

[snow thunder]

You're basically right, I was messing around with our server this morning after it was all avaiable a few hours ago. Basically no mods are crossplay compatiabled and if you do enable crossplay, you wipe all the mods off the server that are PC only.

We use automated ark, so it'd be horribly bad. All structurs would have been gone and everything inside them

So, it's basically now a waiting game for mod authors to port their mods to crossplay, if they are going too.

I had to disable crossplay, add all the mods back, restore from backup and then everything was working ok after that.

[thorn musk]

Hello impossible to join a private server that I opened I get timed out after 20 seconds

can you help me please because I see servers running with players but impossible to join mine... thank you for the help

[fading timber]

AA will be theyre tlaking about it now in the discord for it

[torn void]

how do u enable crossplay?

[upbeat flower]

Does anyone know the INI setting for private servers to enable crossplay? (Not nitrado...)

[quartz pewter]

Man, did they make the font for the armor and damage percentage TV friendly or what. My dead grandmother would be able to read that size font.

In the inventory.

[undone swan]

yeah its really odd

[vagrant ledge]

sadly did not work for me..

[quartz pewter]

They really need to sort out this -exclusivejoin issue. Im getting sick of typing in the password every time the game crashes. The favorites list working would be nice too but baby steps.

[nimble talon]

How many crashes you getting? I haven't had em for a while

[quartz pewter]

It really depends on what your doing. It seems to happen very often when you are in your inventory or in a crafting structure. I think the ones im mainly seeing are UI related.

[native wave]

-exclusivejoin works, we just don't know what id to use or the id presented with whoami doesn't work

[clear bronze]

So does anyone know if unofficial automatically has crossplay enabled?

[native wave]

unofficial have to add the crossplay option to the command line to enable it...and apparently that will clear any mods that are not crossplay enabled

[blissful shard]

Depends on the server

[ashen nebula]

Anyone know how i can update my dedicated server? When I boot it it's sstill showing v26.11

[quartz pewter]

Yea exactly. I set up a gist for my admin list and that works great. I just wish I knew if/what the ini variable was for the exclusivejoin. I have monitored what files it access's and it does read the PlayersJoinNoCheckList.txt file but it doesnt do anything with the ID's in it. Same ones that work for admin aka the new ones.

[hasty perch]

Question anyone seen how to turn crossplay on for their servers?

[native wave]

yeah I use the whitelist on my ASE cluster, and I'd really like to use it on my ASA server and eventual cluster

[quartz pewter]

Thats probably a subject they are going to be tight lipped about for a while I think.

[hasty perch]

I thought xbox/windows just released and crossplayed is enabled

[quartz pewter]

Probably a nitrado secret

[clear bronze]

Is there a way to see which mods are console enabled or do I just gotta ask the person on Xbox what they have?

[ashen nebula]

I have this in my .bat file "start SteamCMD>steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ../TheIsland/ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit" but it's not uppdating my server. Still shows v26.11. Anyone know how to fix?

[lapis quest]

Do we need to do something so console players can join uno hosted servers or it's enabled by default?

[vagrant ledge]

Make a new batch file just for updating

[hasty perch]

thats what I am trying to figure out saw nothing on nitrado end for an option

[undone swan]

how is any one supposed to know if mods are cross play or not whats thte point of a single place for mods (CURSEFORGE) if you have join every mods discord to find out what is happening ?

[lapis quest]

Hit me up if you find something pls

[undone swan]

a simple tag on the mod with pc only or cross play would be simple and affective

[lofty sedge]

Agreed!

[ashen nebula]

I don't know how to do that lol, I followed a youtube video to set up my server in the first place. They said it should auto update when i run it.

[celest halo]

because mod authors can be a pain and they disable comments on curseforge so you have to join there discord

[fading timber]

dangg

[native wave]

no indication I've seen to know what mods are enabled for crossplay on curseforge

[lapis quest]

Should be the the ones from the video so far

[undone swan]

cureforge forces modders to select pc only or cross play why cant they add a tag for it simple things to avoid confusion seems to hard lol

[quartz pewter]

It may not be on the steamcmd side of things yet. The actual steam client itself updated at like 1:30 am or so automatically. They may be using two different back ends for each way

[lone lodge]

I have the same issue

[vague cradle]

So how do we make our dedicated servers crossplay

[lapis quest]

Everyone is trying to figure this out lol

[willow crystal]

Is there a way to switch off crossplay on the server?

[vague cradle]

Okay just checking lol

[quartz pewter]

Oh boy its gonna be one of those days where every 5th comment is someone new asking how to enable cross play. The only thing I can tell everyone is wait until the developers tell you how or you find a youtube video.

[blissful shard]

For unofficial (Nitrado) you can set the platforms allowed through general settings

[ashen nebula]

so does this mean there is nothing I can do other than wait?

[white cairn]

Anybody know how to unlock tek binoculars in the game settings for everybody since crossplay can't have super spyglass mod?

[lapis quest]

Alpha tek cave

[quartz pewter]

So all someone has to do is do that and send us their config.

[white cairn]

In the game settings...

[vagrant ledge]

I dmd you

[native wave]

yeah I meant through curseforge. obviously the mods in the video should be enabled. Only saw that video after you posted about it

[lone lodge]

I have this and no luck that way either

[white cairn]

Like it should be "cheat UnlockEngram and then a path for the tek binocular engram? right?

[humble thicket]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[blissful shard]

My unofficial server is PC only

[willow crystal]

ok as i understand it no one knows how to switch crossplay on or off?

[tardy pine]

@ashen nebula

mine is like this and works, maybe the validate tag makes it update

call C:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "D:\Steam_Servers\ArkSA" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[vagrant ledge]

Do you have it so it validates too? and what I do is if I see that its not updating then I keep running the update batch until it works

[blissful shard]

Depends on what you are talking about. Unofficial servers have an option in general settings

[tardy pine]

yes

[blissful shard]

Official and dedicated/local servers are a different topic altogether.

[torpid karma]

@proven prawn when will be official today

[willow crystal]

can you tell me the option?

[celest halo]

validate should not be in your steamcmd for doing updates

[blissful shard]

Go to General under the Settings tab. At the very top there are Platform Options where you can check or uncheck PC (Steam), Windows (Microsoft Store), or XBOX.

[willow crystal]

ah no... i talk about dedicated server...

[autumn jay]

Hey,
Do someone else have trouble with the parameter AllowFlyerCarryPvE ?
it seems it's not working anymore from the last patch on server
my birds can't carry anymore wild dinos

It was working before and i didn't changed anything to the settings today

[lone lodge]

How should it be? Mine is also "Update App 123456 validate" Mine has been fine till this last update.

[vague cradle]

It works tho.

[tardy pine]

can you tell me why? I'll need more then "shouldnt do that bro". I have it on all my update files for all my games and it's never given me a problem

[quartz pewter]

Ill check right now

[lapis quest]

Steamcmd works just fine, there's no asm out yet

[celest halo]

Note:
Validation will overwrite any files that have been changed. This may cause issues with customized servers. For example, if you customize mapcycle.txt, this file will be overwritten to the server default. Any files that are not part of the default installation will not be affected.

It is recommended you use this command only on initial installation and if there are server issues.```

[nova hill]

Has anyone figured out how to turn on cross play yet?

[autumn jay]

thx

[tardy pine]

Thank you! This is helpful information

[quartz pewter]

Nope no problem here, my Rhyniognatha picked up my rex just fine.

[uneven frost]

How will I know if my server is cross-play or not

[blissful shard]

Dedicated is unofficial... do you mean non-dedicated you host through your PC?

[uneven frost]

Just -crossplay?

[rich cloak]

Works fine on my server

[willow crystal]

hosting on my own rootserver

[autumn jay]

Humm thx then idk why I have the problem …

[lone lodge]

Yea mine is set up to validate on update bat. ty for this though. I cannot get it to update though. its stuck on 26.38

[celest halo]

prob have a messed up manifest file

[lone lodge]

Did you set it up via the server option in steam as well?

[quartz pewter]

make sure to shut down the server completely then check the ini. If you edit stuff with the server running it will overwrite it.

If you mispell something it will delete the line

[autumn jay]

Yeah I did it I even tried to force the parameter by adding it with the ? In the boot script

[quartz pewter]

AllowFlyerCarryPvE=True under the [ServerSettings] section

[valid ruin]

Does anyone have an Xbox dedicated server with mods? Can’t get onto any of the ones I was looking at as other mods not available yet

[quartz pewter]

mods will only be on xbox if the developers of those mods choose

[olive pecan]

why is the game now in english? last update changed the lang?

[autumn jay]

yeah that's what i have in GameUserSettings.ini i also tried to move it in Game.ini just to try but it didn't solved anything

[placid heart]

So nobody knows how to set crossplatform yet?

[spare isle]

is there anything i need to add to the command line or ini files to allow crossplay for xbox and windows store?

[quartz pewter]

only nitrado.

[placid heart]

Bruhhhh

[tardy ravine]

Does anyone know how to adjust the screen size on console?

[quartz pewter]

yea get a pc.

[tardy ravine]

Half of my hud like my hp and stamina isn’t even visible to me

[placid heart]

Someone buy a nitrado server enable crossplay and send the config lmao

[raven wigeon]

usual crap, nitrado...nitrado...nitrado!! they suck... really bad

[valid ruin]

Yeah I know, I’m wondering if anyone had an Xbox-only server with mods that will work on console

[quartz pewter]

thats what im saying, so we can find out they use a different build lmfao

[lone lodge]

can I DM you?

[blissful shard]

My Nitrado server has run flawlesly since the game released 🤷🏻‍♂️

[placid heart]

Probably

[olive pecan]

thats a good idea

[quartz pewter]

said no one ever about that company

[blissful shard]

Better than all the official servers based on what I've heard from friends lol

[placid heart]

Us dedicated owners are getting screwed

[blissful shard]

I have had one server crash since release. Otherwise it runs smooth as butter with zero issues.

[quartz pewter]

I havent had any server crashes at all on my in house server, just client crashes

[lone lodge]

me as well , at least till this update. runs great no lag etc. 18 ppl on it

[willow crystal]

since the last patch some mods on unofficial servers are delivered outdated. example dwarvens builders mod: current version is the 15, the server is automatically delivered the 2, accordingly everything that was built with it is broken.

latest info would be to switch off crossplay on the server, how could this be done?

[blissful shard]

Haven't hopped on mine yet today since I'm working. Their update/fix schedule coincides great with when I'm able to play lol

[lone lodge]

I cannot get mine to update this time

[bronze jackal]

so like.. is it normal for servers to crash as quick as a slinky going down the stairs? like the server cant even stay online for more than 20 mins

[clear bronze]

So does anyone know the line to enable crossplay

[blissful shard]

That sounds like official according to some of my gaming buddies 😂

[lone lodge]

I only had that issue with i added dino mods. took them back off and all was good.

[lone stream]

WC fiddled with Argentavis somehow? Sometimes the species is called "Silver" instead of "Argentavis", no problem. But they nerfed dino carry? An argy can't even carry a dodo now, while a pteranodon still can. (PvE server, and AllowFlyerCarryPvE=true)

[bronze jackal]

and the server i have only has 2 mods.. the spyglass mod and the crafter's potions mod.

[lone lodge]

take them off and add one at time, see if they are causing the issues

[little badger]

is anyone with a pre-existing steam server not been able to get the crossplay to work this morning? We checked the box in nitrado but nothing propogated to the ini and xbox players can't find the server

[olive pecan]

nope, it's not normal. I've got 2 servers on the same machine and I had 2 problems (tribe file bugged and amazon cert.). Nothing about server crashing or restarting...

[placid heart]

I tried enabling crossplay to the command line server wont go up or show up in server browser

[little badger]

never mind we discovered the issue and xbox players can join now

[placid heart]

Post the config lmao

[olive pecan]

share the info. lol

[little badger]

it wasn't a config it was battleye

[placid heart]

Yes but what is in the config that allows crossplatform

[stoic sable]

are there issues with unofficial servers right now? i brought my server offline this morning for the update and now it says its online but none of us can find it

[olive pecan]

should we disable battleeye for crossplatform?

[placid heart]

Bc just -crossplay don’t work when added to command line

[little badger]

we just checked the crossplay box in nitrado and restarted, initially xbox palyers still coudln't find it, but after we disabled battleye they coudl find it

[blissful shard]

Give it a restart

Mine wasn't showing up until I restarted it despite it showing online

[placid heart]

See when I enable crossplay neither can find it and steam can’t find it

[stoic sable]

im on my 4th restart

[placid heart]

I’m dedicated hosting as well

[nova hill]

do we just add the -crossplay to the cmd line and that is it?

[fathom meadow]

i tried to import my files from beacon to nitrado and it says no servers found? any one knoow why? i have purchased the nitrado serverand says it is online but i cannot import those config files over from beacon to nitrado any help would be amazing!

[placid heart]

Not working for me

[maiden perch]

Does anyone know how to set up the harvesting higher on a server? I don't see any of the exp breeding taming or harvesting multipliers

[nova hill]

I wish I had an xbox to test if my server was working lol

[carmine cipher]

not work for me too

[placid heart]

I just seen something

Nitrado might be restricting it for dedicated hosting

[carmine cipher]

maybee

[placid heart]

Which is so shady

[frigid vine]

Hrello Guys 🙂 Is there maybe a group/discord/or similar already existing? I looking for some players who joining (maybe for 5min) a self-hosted server to check a little bit the hardware and performance.

[placid heart]

Nitrado people send us ur configs lmao

[hardy sleet]

Yo, host for @little badger here. It's a Nitrado server, and so far the .ini isn't showing the crossplay settings. Disabling battleye seemed to fix things. We have an xbox player connected now.

[placid heart]

Really

Has anyone dedicated tried disabling battleeye

[carmine cipher]

yes

[willow crystal]

so no one knows the ini option to disable/enable crossplay? 😦

[carmine cipher]

not working

[snow mason]

Mine's always had battleye disabled.

[carmine cipher]

Mine too

[placid heart]

If y’all disable battleeye there’s no anticheat

What’s the perks of disabling it

[carmine cipher]

i know i play only wiht friends with password

[spare isle]

@placid heart to allow crossplay put -crossplay in the command line (i run my own server and can confirm this works connected to my pc server with ark from the windows store/xbox)

[hardy sleet]

Nitrado shows these as the ".ini options:"
crossplay-enable-pc
crossplay-enable-wingdk
crossplay-enable-xsx

I would assume you can make those =true, but not sure which .ini they belong in.

[placid heart]

Ahh ok makes since

[snow mason]

PvE only on mine plus very low player numbers. Even lower after today's updates. lol

[placid heart]

I did to but server said it was online but couldn’t find the server

[spare isle]

are your ports open on your router

[placid heart]

Yes I been playing on it for a while lol or do I need to add ports for Xbox and ps

[wild mantle]

Did you also need to disable battleeye to allow connections?

[spare isle]

no

[placid heart]

No haven’t tried that yet

But I guess I need to port Xbox ports as well?

[spare isle]

no you only port forward the server ports

[placid heart]

Yep they are ported been playing on it for a while with friends

[spring ruin]

what is xbox ports ?

[placid heart]

My community has been playing as well but when I add -crossplay to command line server says it’s up but I can’t find it in the Asa server browser

[snow mason]

Same here and just times out when I connect via IP. Been like it since the last updates earlier.

[placid heart]

When I take -crossplay out server starts and I can join through steam

[spare isle]

@placid heart the command line should look something like this:

Commandline: "TheIsland_WP?listen?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=xxxxx?SessionName=!ArkSanity 10x PVP MODS?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?WinMaxPlayers=50" -mods=929713,928793,929420,928548,940022,939351 -automanagedmods -nosteamclient -crossplay

[desert monolith]

Nitrado keeps telling me "Please restart the server once to get the latest server version." But I've restarted several times and it has applied multiple updates but still can't find the server in-game.

[olive pecan]

-nosteamclient -crossplay? I will test

[snow mason]

I'll give the -nosteamclient switch a go. Nothing to lose 🙂

[placid heart]

No steam client?

[willow crystal]

-crossplay, only if this option is set then there is a server crossplay? and if i dont want to use crossplay?

[placid heart]

Why no steam client?

[olive pecan]

to allow no steam clients? dunno 😄

[placid heart]

I want steam clients lmao

[olive pecan]

to "also" allow no steam clients?

[celest halo]

not going to do anything -nosteamclient Used automatically by client (ShooterGame) to launch the server from HOST\LOCAL menu. Launching the server (ShooterGameServer) directly or through a script using this option will have no effect and will be ignored.

[spare isle]

some players will lauch the game outside the steam client straight from the folder for better performance so steam does not run in the background

using -nosteamclient just means you dont need steam running in the background players using the steam client can still join

[placid heart]

Ahhh see I’m using ptero panel on my own server hosting I own so I’m not all that worried about that lol

[snow mason]

It's kind of a blessing in disguise i've been unable to get onto my server. Means I've had to do some actual work 😄

[real tendon]

What do you have going on? Dm me

[placid heart]

Got it

Crossplay is now working lol

[lapis quest]

-crossplay?

[placid heart]

I made a mistake lol putting -crossplay in arguments instead of flags

[clear bronze]

whats the full line?

[placid heart]

Yep as far as I can tell it’s working idk if Xbox can join bc I don’t own an Xbox

[placid heart]

Just -crossplay in ur command line

[clear bronze]

gotcha

[placid heart]

Add it to the end

Now if Xbox can actually join idk I need someone to test lol

[chilly flame]

any one know how to adjust harvest settings on nitrado. is there a config setting i need to type in? Right now i have "HarvestAmountMultiplier=100" and it doesnt seem to adjust what im getting with my primitive tools

[lapis quest]

Need to find a tester lmao

[placid heart]

Same lmao

[willow crystal]

and only if you set -crossplay in commandline the server is cross? without this line the server is pc only?

[placid heart]

I believe so

[lapis quest]

Got a guy who owns the game on xbox, he's gonna try

[placid heart]

Alright plz let me know

[nova hill]

Anyone have an xbox to see if my server shows up lol

[placid heart]

Someone’s finding out rn for sure

[ruby merlin]

i cant seem to get my mods to update on server

[nova hill]

I wish the server browser in the game would says like cross-play enabled or something like it does for w/ mods

[ruby merlin]

anyone able to help me out

[lapis quest]

He's asking this: Did he say it put a line in the server console or anything?

[placid heart]

Xbox still can’t find my server lol

Nitrado secretly restricting us 😂

[lofty sedge]

Did you enable crossplay?

[placid heart]

Yes

[stuck tinsel]

So guys to make it work, only need to put -crossplay ? or do we need to edit port orhter settings etc ?

[ivory slate]

Idk how to add mods thru nitrado, can someone guide me a little bit… I can install u+ but not any of the Dino’s. Why!!??

[lofty sedge]

Probably their filters then. It does work.

[gusty quest]

So do I have to go through the nitrado app again for Xbox or can I do everything from my computer?

[lofty sedge]

If you're on Nitrado, do it in general settings.

[placid heart]

What filters

[heady walrus]

So -crossplay did not make it joinable, it shows up but it just times out connecting.

[lost minnow]

Ive just launched a server called OceWar PVP 7X can someone from Xbox see if they can see it? it should be crossplay enabled.

[placid heart]

No there filters are normal

[lofty sedge]

Whatever filters are for your server. Pve/pvp. Name spelled correctly.

[heady walrus]

I have one called Wild Ark if another xbox player could try as well.

[stuck tinsel]

no nitrado

[heady walrus]

The one in my living room isn't working so I want to see if it's server issue or ark issue.

[stuck tinsel]

So guys to make it work, only need to put -crossplay ? or do we need to edit port orhter settings etc ? On personnal dedicated, i'm a mod creator but can't test it because not working

[placid heart]

There filters are right

[ivory slate]

Can someone help… idk how to install mods. I tried YouTube but it’s all PC installs. Idk. Im so lost and confused. Im on Xbox and want to install in my server that I just paid for

[placid heart]

Do we need to add ports for Xbox?

[autumn jay]

is you server in PVE ?

[lofty sedge]

crossplay-enable-pc=true
crossplay-enable-wingdk=false
crossplay-enable-xsx=false

These if you are not Nitrado

[blissful shard]

If you're talking about a Nitrado server there's a mods tab

[lost minnow]

ive enabled theese

[lofty sedge]

Set them how you want.

[stuck tinsel]

thx, in game.ini or gameusersettings.ini ?

[lofty sedge]

Should be GUS since they are launch parameters.

[ivory slate]

Yeah. I clicked U+ that one worked, but none of the Dino’s are installing

[lofty sedge]

Is your server pve or pvp?

[placid heart]

PvP

[lofty sedge]

Have them try pve then.

[placid heart]

Is this for dedicated?

[heady walrus]

In gamesettings ini or steam command box?

[placid heart]

I’m confused why

It shows up no where at all

[lost minnow]

Someone from Xbox DM me

[blissful shard]

None of those mods are crossplay if you're talking about the Additions Ascended

So if you have crossplay enabled on the server, those will be auto-uninstalled

[ivory slate]

Meaning they don’t work on Xbox? / the island

[lost minnow]

someone from xbox search Ocewar and see if they can see a server pls

[lofty sedge]

If you have crossplay enabled and you have restarted and you're SURE then there's no reason it shouldn't be working. Password protected?

[placid heart]

Nope

[blissful shard]

Correct. The mods themselves have to be crossplay mods to work on a crossplay server. The ones that will work all have the Crossplay tag I believe

[placid heart]

Where would I put these to try

[ivory slate]

So there’s no way for me to get these extra Dino’s on Xbox? Not yet? Or can I figure out how to turn off cross play in order to use them

[heady walrus]

Gus I assumed was game user setting

[ivory slate]

I’m sorry for the questions, I am completely new to this server stuff

[carmine cipher]

not now thew modder must put in on crossplay

[blissful shard]

The entire library of mods is only available for PC (Steam). They have to have crossplay support to be used for anything else

[heady walrus]

Would no -battleye cause it not to work crossplay?

[ivory slate]

Awe man, hopefully soon they update it. I would love the new dinos on Xbox

[clear bronze]

Well xbox has ark additions and a few other currently

it has 2 pages of mods

[livid pivot]

How do you disable cross play? Because additions is on Xbox but can't be enabled for servers due to cross play. I've already unchecked PC and Windows

[marble kernel]

is anyone having to redownload all mods at every connexion to the server ?

[lofty sedge]

Sorry. Which platform? Dedicated or unofficial?

[blissful shard]

The Additions mods aren't marked as crossplay through Nitrado which means they likely only work through PC (Steam) right now.

[celest halo]

you restart the server after making the changes

[placid heart]

Dedicated unofficial

[lofty sedge]

Not sure where you would put launch settings on dedicated.

[livid pivot]

Then why do they show on Xbox's mod list if they can't be run on a Xbox only server?

[placid heart]

So it’s command line?

[ivory slate]

I only see like 2 mods for cross play? Am I missing something here?

[fierce citrus]

Hey does anyone know what good taming speed is

[livid pivot]

Server is currently off also

[frail ferry]

any idea why crossplay servers dont list....

[marble kernel]

Look the youtube vid in announcement for compatible mods

[blissful shard]

With xbox only just having come out today I'd expect it to be anywhere from a couple days to a week before a lot of mods get crossplay support especially with this week being a holiday weekened for the states

[ivory slate]

The ones they announced don’t work lol it’s okay tho.. I can’t expect much from day one

[worthy rapids]

Hi Poison Ivy! I'm just setting this as well.

So just double checking with you, I need "-crossplay" in the command line as well as have theses in my GUS?

crossplay-enable-pc=true
crossplay-enable-wingdk=false
crossplay-enable-xsx=false

[marble kernel]

damned so we have to remove all mods for crossplay to work ?

[blissful shard]

If they are showing up on the list with crossplay enabled they should work. Could just be a lagging update on the mod side

[lofty sedge]

Let me double check. I'm in so many discords talking right now. lol

[worthy rapids]

👌

[ivory slate]

Only 2 have cross play on it U+ and that svartalfheim map mod

3*** chaos creator

[willow crystal]

this if you want crossplay or if you DONT want crossplay?

[raven wigeon]

0

[void ledge]

Does anyone know how to remove a specific dino spawn from a server? Not much online in ways of guides for setup yet

[heady walrus]

So my server shows up for xbox players but they all timeout trying to join it

[lofty sedge]

Losing track here. Sorry. If it's self host, no one knows yet for sure.

[worthy rapids]

ok thx

[lofty sedge]

Those are command lines.

So yeah not sure yet.

Waiting game again.

[dusky vapor]

i am self hosted and have not put anything in my settings for crossplay and have xbox players on my server 🤷‍♂️

[worthy rapids]

ouhhhhh

[heady walrus]

You have any mods dl?

[dusky vapor]

yeah

and i would imagine they are not all crossplay compat yet

[heady walrus]

I changed all the mods in mine to ones that were crossplay compat, they are downloaded on the xbox and it is just constant time outs. No one can get in, but I can get in on pc.

[ivory slate]

Is there copy and paste settings that I can put in the game user settings on nitrado

I’m so confused Lmao

[fair matrix]

I want to put the lines I type into cmd to update the server into my batch file I use to start the server. Is it as simple as adding the lines (force_install_dir) (login username) in front of the word start in my batch file ? Any advice ?

[placid heart]

So we got lied to

[ivory slate]

My brain hurts, I can’t find shitttt on the internet lmao

[placid heart]

I got a screenshot from nitrado support saying steam servers won’t be compatible with console till 2024

[frail ferry]

so i have to uncheck steam ?

[icy tiger]

Hi Guys - I've purchase a Server from Nitrado for Xbox etc... Sorted the Settings, Server has started and can't find the Map. Anyone else having this issue? I've been running a 20 Cluster on ASE for a long time and that shit was simple

[lapis quest]

Yikes

[placid heart]

Yea but that’s bullshit over what wildcard says

[lapis quest]

Looks like a update may come then?
