na i cant do that this will be a public server i already have people playing on it..
I do it on mine lol
im not gonna go around and do it for everyones dinos that absurd

my players ones work like this dino does not
that's literally how my INI is and i can change all my players ones and they work just fine
Ok so pick one of those, just to see, and put a -in front of it paste it in steam server launcher thing
Then open file and see if it changes it. If it does just copy paste them all and server will force those setting no matter what
the settings are not being changed by anything there is nothign to force
the file is correct
booting the server does not change anythign all files lines are correct and in the appropriate place
Ok so earlier I was changing my player settings to 32 but everytime I launched the game it would change it back to 70. I then took the setting and put it in steam launch commands as 32 and now it is forced to be 32 instead of 70
ok well it isnt changing anything
Ok sorry. Was just trying to see if it would work lol. It's just a work around. I know there is no excuse for it not working as intended.
i appreciate it but there would be nothign for me to force as the file is not being changed when server boots
How do I get help with a question without using the ark website of any kind? Without using a ticket of any kind. Without submitting a bug report that never ever gets checked
I've tried in the past and nothing comes of it
Any mods care to weigh in? It has been shown the file is correct yet the game is not working we have no channels to do anything about this and are trying to operate functional servers for players it's exhausting at this point
I am running an ASA server through Nitrado. I was hoping that someone who plays on xbox would be able to join but they cannot see the server. Is there something I need to enable?
So there's no real way to get help here? Got it.
If ubask enough eventually someone may know an answer
I'm not gonna ask every 10 min lol
The ark websites don't help either. None of their forums or tickets have ever helped in the past
I did. Ot took all day and now I have a crossplay server that is functional lol
And all I'm asking is a simple question about settings and achivements
I don't think setting will affect getting achievements on xbox. My old lady been getting them on my server
Asa and ase help. Mostly Asa now. But I've stopped getting achivement for the last idk how many years. For ark only. I used to and now I don't. I tested it with Asa. I played with barely edited settings on medium difficult. Tamed a dino. No achievement in single player. Deleted my save. Made new one. Set all settings to default. Hit save. Hit play. Tamed a dino. And magically get the achievement.
So my question is. What does and doesn't disable achievements? I've tried looking it up and every single thing I see says you can play single player with VERY edited settings and it still gives achivements. Old and new ark. Yet I edit the settings at all and it disables them. Without admin commands on at all. Or creative mode.
I've played ever since ark came out on steam. Original ark. Same with xbox. I'm on xbox series x using Asa now
^ @heady walrus
That is likely not a Ticketable request, thus no response.
This sounds like a Steam issue given that it persisted across ASE > ASA. Nothing in-game affects whether they will unlock, you can use any console commands you want and it won't lock you out.
How do I get more mods on my modlist?
I'm on xbox if you're talking to me
How long has ark been released? On steam and Xbox? How many years? That's how long I've had the issue
I've cheated my way through a boss on og ark and got a achievement
Well I said my process today and how I got it to work
You're certain you're not unlocking them and it just isn't notifying you? I know PS4/5 has options to hide Achievement notifications.
Strange. I have a 3x server and xbox getting achievements on it.
I tested it. Changed settings a small amount. No achivements.
Put settings to default hard mode. Magically getting achivements
sounds more like a question for xbox
All I did was change xp and damage or something
It's only ever happened with ark tho. Never any other game ever
Which map are you doing this on.
And I don't get achievements whenever I play ark with any kind of change at all in settings. Player stats. Dino stats. Xp. Anything
I assume The Island but you never know
Any. Any map. Right now currently. Asa the island
But in the past on ase. All of the maps
It's the same issue persisted through several years on both games
Any time I edit my maps settings on single player I no longer get achivmeents
I have to play on default official settings to get achievements
Does anyone have a website that will setup a custom level progression with engrams for ASA? I can't seem to figure out what the max level in ASA would be right now. I have a code setup but it stops leveling at lvl 35.
Certain you can unlock achievements no matter your settings or commands used on ASE PS4/5 and PC, and ASA on PC, so this sounds like an Xbox specific issue.
That's what Google said lol. So idk. It's been years
You definitely have gotten achievements from other games?
Beel literally years and did everything. Especially on ase. All achivements stopped progress once I changed my settings
100%. I have over 100 games installed that I play and I've never had achivement issues before
On any game for several years. Just ark ase and asa
Bought ase today and thought I'd test out achievements.
Changed settings. Clicked play. Tamed a dino. No achivement all day.
Deleted all save data. Reverted all settings. Clicked play. Tamed a dino. Immediately got the achivement
Actually tamed several dinos when I had settings edited. No achivement. Tamed 1 with default settings and immediately got it
Oh and ark has never ever recorded my stats? Only ever time played. On ase. Kills. Tames. Deaths. Nothing recorded besides time played. Single player or on non dedicated
I can't send photos here tho to show it
No idea then. There's videos of people on Xbox using console commands in both ASE and ASA on non-default settings and they're getting achievements.
All thats left thats possible is some kind of Xbox account issue, but obviously highly unlikely and I'm not familiar with Xbox stuff so I can't really do much more
Yeah idk. I've never had any issue and I always just thought it was ark for several years
I guess I'll try again later on Asa and see if I get the riding dino achivement if I change settings again
anyone figure out the whitlist and admin lists yet?
If not I guess I'm forced to play on default settings
Does anyone have a website that will setup a custom level progression with engrams for ASA? I can't seem to figure out what the max level in ASA would be right now. I have a code setup but it stops leveling at lvl 35.
Does anyone know what the Max level is for ASA right now?
@knotty raven I got an achievement for exploring 80% of the map whilst flying around in creative earlier checking everything out and testing commands to get better fps, so idk man. Also forcetamed a dino, didn't get the tame dino achievement but when I rode it whilst still in creative it gave me the ride a dino achievement. I then turned creative off and continued to explore and tamed one normally and got the tame first dino achievement
Yeah Google says force tame doesn't work but some other command works for it. 2 different tame commands. 1 works and 1 doesn't. All Reddit responses say they can get achivements just fine with cheats and settings and commands
So I have no idea lol
I have no idea either lol, sounds to me like it's just straight bugged in general and it's hit or miss wether it disables achievements or not
Kinda sucks cuz I've always wanted to get all achievements for it. I know I've done them all several years ago already
Although it doesn't specify anywhere if it does or is supposed to disable achievements
Although it wouldn't be too bad playing with default settings. Only issue is breed timers tbh. Raising and breeding. I hate the timers
Yeah nowhere does it say is why I'm asking and googling it
Yeah it's not realistic for anyone who can't sit on the game 24/7
Cuz I feel like I'm the only one with the issue lol
Aka ppl wit jobs
Or any kind of life at all lol
Fr aha
Do unofficial servers count towards achievements?
Because I literally run a server with some friends on ase and yeah. Never progress on achivements or got any achivements in over 5 years
it should. I get steam achievements on my server.
Well I'm xbox but yeah I'd assume achivements still work? Although I've not talked to players on the server about it before tbf
the only wat to truly know is to test it, try a very easy achivement
anyone figure out the whitlist and admin lists yet?
Can you host a private dedicated server from pc and play on xbox? And how do i? Lol
I am the owner of a server with ASA. I set ServerPVE=True and AllowFlyerCarryPVE=True. However, after the update to v31.23, flyers are no longer able to carry wild dinos. I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this problem.
I did on single player ase and it worked until I changed the settings even in the slightest
only by using a website
Does anyone know wha the max level for ASA is right now?
what about "AdminListURL=file://"?
servers are different then SP
Well achievements wise. I explained situated a little further up
havent tried that, but i have a local only apache server running that i also use for customdynamicconfig
My game ini looks different then all YouTube videos about nitrado. I can't see anything about player setting like weight or for dinos. Help
try using the Beacon app
Does it matter that I play on xbox?
you need to add it yourself game.ini only has stuff that overrides default settings
are you using nitrado or a server on a pc, or a non dedicated
Nitrado's .ini files are pre-populated with all settings they allow you to change, even if you haven't changed them yet.
You'll have to either add things you want (check pins for the Server Configuration that lists all settings) or use an app like Beacon that will add them for you
On nitrado
nitrado has a few restrictions
Guessing beacon is something I need to do on laptop
Idk why they changed it. I did it on ase no problem
Can I add just a few. My main thing is weight for character and dino
yes, you might be able to DL the files, edit them, then copy and paste the lines
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=10
dinos multipliers arent working tho
Is there somewhere I can just copy paste game ini with the player settings
there is probably a file somewhere
that goes in game ini under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
Does it matter where I put it
Ok so I can make that the first line?
sure
Lol thanks
this is honestly really annoying that this does not work and there is no way to get a fix for it i dont know why i thought running a server for this version would be any less headache
have you tried using PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add instead
yee
So that worked for my character weight. Your telling me I can't do that for dinos
Don't want to sound rude. But like is that an instance thing or across the board problem
Ight going to try and see because your instructions worked perfectly for the character
ive run many servers for ASE and stuff i know what i am doing it just is not working
lmk what happens
Like I said what you told me to do worked so I believe you. Just didn't know if that is happening to everyone
others claim theirs is working but people say alot of stuff
this is ark all settings work for half of the people lmao
just like server showing in the list, works for some, dont for others
Lol I changed it and restarting now
good luck hope it works for ya!
Lol do you also have the perfect breeding settings
ive given up at this point ill just keep trying to ask here randomly maybe someone will know at some point ive tried everything i can
haha tbh it's all pretty easy to set and you can find examples of files online
Yea I looked for a solution to the weight thing. Watched 9 videos no help. 8 seconds talking to you fixed lol
they did push another patch an hour ago (i have not updated to it yet)
ahahah glad i could help
i did but no changes to my issue
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration is also a big help if you never set one up before
I did a few on ase and I was pretty straight forward. I feel like now shit is missing. Snd I'm not pro like sobe
or you cheat for alot of the settings and make a non-dedicated then copy over settings from it
ahahah i like to think i am then i sit here for hours like this and cant fix it
im sure this has been asked a 100 times today but is there anything special you have to do to enable crossplatform on a server?
easiest way IMO is to set everything in the singleplayer menu almost of of it is there then copy the game.ini and GUS.ini into your server
Sobe you might as well be speaking mandarin. Thank you for the easy instructions
biggest problem most people have is they used ASM for ASE and dont know how to manually set up a server
i started running them before ASM existed ahahah
actual boomer
i ran mine on linux so never used ASM
linux is king for servers
i made ansible playbooks for adding servers to my ASE cluster
so no one knows about the crossplay for console ?
it has been said in here it's enabled be default but i cant confirm
i saw that too but only in one place
i dont trust info i cant find in multiple locations lol
for sure ahahah
whats name of your server
search triden and it shoul dbe the only one that pops up
itll be apparent when you see it
did your dino weight work?
im also gonna assume not all mods are crossplatform?
anyone having any issues on xbox where every time you go into single player it starts a new game?
Anyone know how to enable flyer stats on a server (Xbox)
'SERVERPLATFORMTYPE_s': 'PC' its running in PC only
im gonna assume it defaults to that due to the mods im runing?
There’s like 3 mods console can use
Sobe I think it did
i have super spyglass plus, super cryo storage, and qol+
They’re Alledgedly going to be adding the mods daily
dam well that's good, super odd then tho because i copied them directly from mine which is not working lol
you selfhosting or is it through nitrado
I won't lie I haven't played in forever. How much should q level boost weight up on dino
self hosting, i dont give garbage server hosters my business
Nobody knows the commands for enabling Flyer speed?
look in the wiki it has a list of all the settings
pretty sure it varies between dino but if you change the multiplier with points added it retroactively will change them so you would see different totals when you restart
you only have 1 mod on it, i just dont know what mod has the id of 928793
i have at least 5 mods
I only ever see pc ones
correction 4 mods
Yeah nitrado is terrible, am I capable of self hosting a dedicated server on Xbox though?
It’s okay 🫠
Yea my brother let all the 6 dinos we had die soooo yes
But a low level raptor was getting like 100 per level
i might have had the wrong server, just found an other one
[NA]Tridentisles_5x_PVP
yeah had wrong one
and thats y i dont play official lol
Alr plus aimbot
How does tethering work?
that one is full crossplay 'SERVERPLATFORMTYPE_s': 'PC+XSX+WINGDK+PS5'
ah ok cool, where did you find that info?
i got a script that check EOS back end
Definitely did not work
tehtering means that other pl;ayers can go past a certain distance from the host player
the weight?
is there a copy of the official GameUserSettings.ini somewhere?
which weight setting are you changing thers three different ones that effect tames at diferent time in their "life"
im aware ahaha
Yea it didn't work I lied to you
just checking lol theres a huge gap in knowledge base here so you never know what someone knows
ok so something is up then
totally feel you on that
@frank egret
im no expert but ive been doing this long enough and have hosted server on several OS's for the last 8 years so i got a little knowledge lol
ye same ive had servers up as long as we have been able to
Anyone experiencing food not adding the taming percent that it should? I put my rates into DodoDex and it is requiring way more food than it should. The only things a really changed are taming/breeding rates.
got 2 full 12 map ase clusters running still
check dms
my player weight works but the dinos dont, i tagged you in a reply above that contains what's in my game.ini
yesterday i got it to work once when i noticed that under game.ini everything that was under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] was also under [ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides] but now theyre all gone and changing it or adding it under the other does nothing
you will react to tickets somehow; cheaters run around; they raid; they don’t even let you get up on the bed; and you don’t give a damn
thers gotta be another setting thats conflicting with it
i wiped everything and did it all from new before still same issue
idk what could even possibly conflict ahah
you dont have amod that effects weight or anything like that right?
stack mod ya
that might be whats conflicting with it then
but my player weight works fine
palyers and tames arent coded the same i guess
ill try removing it tomorrow and see
i dont think so tho becaus eyesterday when it did work by adding it under the section where it shoudlnt work i had the mod on too lol
if it worked before then y change it lol?
could also try affinity and tweak it till you get the desired outcome
because i didnt realize i had HP set too and it's way too high
tame, affinity nor add or wild do anything lol
is that the only settings in your game.ini?
is this for server settings or SP?
can try validfating files ont eh server that sometimes has fixed stuck settings like that for me in the past
i already did an entire wipe of everything
thats fair lol
newly installed entire game and server
DM me and ill take a look further and test it out on mine and see if we can come up with a solution, i gotta get to bed tho got work in the am
who knows im over it and tired at this point it's late if anyone thinks of anything feel free to DM me
ahah word will do
if anyone wants to make a local admin list work here is how:
in game use "cheat listplayers", and copy the long ID after your player name.
make a txt file, put that ID in the file, i put mine in D:\ASAserver\ShooterGame\Saved\server\TheIsland_WP, name it what you like ex "AdminList.txt"
in GUS.ini under [ServerSettings] put a line as fallows:
AdminListURL="file://D:\ASAserver\ShooterGame\Saved\server\TheIsland_WP\AdminList.txt"
this will make it so your admins wont have to type in the cheat password everytime they login
If I buy a server from nitrado is it easy to change it's settings the same way I can edit them in a non dedicated? Like tame speed, day cycles, etc
How can i join my friends non dedicated xbox session while im playing on steam???
does this friend have crossplay enabled?
i dont know if non-dedicated can do crossplay
how do we enable crossplay
if you can it would be in the settings before he starts the non-dedi
hmmm
Sorta, alot of settings are on the ui(but no where as many options), or you can either edit the ini files, or just upload your initial settings you already have setup from your local files.
anyone on xbox willing to see if they can see my server and try to connect to it? Its password protected but at least get to the password section,
SQSDA-PVE
hmm they pushed a client update with no patch notes lmao
Has anyone figured out how to join non dedicated servers cross platform yet? It’s still not popping up for me
Nevermind, I think it’s because they had an update for PC but not for console.
Anyone know how to have a steam server reset if it crashes?
Few different ways, if your good with batch code or vbs you can make a script for it
Mine hasn't crashed all month, but I reboot it every 6 hours
Haven't gotten any good with batch. I just use the steam command for mods, player count etc. Every time I use batch it just screams about my paths when I know they are right lol
anyone wanna kiss in front of the tek cave
There a command I can put in steam? Lol
You have to use the full path and use quotes to cover for any spaces in the path.
There is something you can do on the start file if the crashes are due to memory leaks
Pid be down to invite u to pc and screen share if you felt like tutorializing me lol
I'd do that tomorrow for sure. Just got in bed though
Crash logs don't even exist for the last 2 crashes
There is a ui tool called windows GSM that helps you manage servers. I've never used it though
its good
There is also a program called "restart on crash" but your game server will need to be started with a batch file for that one
I found the crashes. Nothing stands out just a exception access violation 0x000000000000064
what is the gameusersettings that is causing folks that complete the overseer to drop all their stuff upon ascending?
Anyone else experience that after last update ”allowflyercary” in pve dont work?
That sounds like memory filled up how frequent are the crashes?
open up the crashstacks file
Every few hours. The rig that it's running on has 64 gig of ram.
Hmm. Mine has 16gb and runs solid 24x7
With ryzen 9 7900x cpu if it matters
Only mods on it are the "official " Dino mods
I am also playing on said rig lol.
the brachi, xin and deiph are known crashers
i butchered the last ones name but yeh
Deinotherium
Noooo not the deino
I'll yeet them next crash I guess. Hopefully noone has tamed some.
I'd look for why it's crashing personally. But if you don't care and just want to reboot it. And you trust third party software, Google "restart on crash". I've used it before and didn't notice any weird stuff. It passed my AV scans
brachi is a R crash so as long as no one uses the R function is ok
Ok I'll check it out
Made by majorgeeks
Sure looks fishy lol
It does lol. I scanned the hell out of it, and you should too if you choose to go that way.
Personally I automate my servers with batch scripts now
Hmm link said it no longer exists
Windows GSM is probably more reputable but I dont know if it will reboot when it crashes
If you’re sure the taming multiplier is right, a common issue is if you did or didn’t toggle the “use single player settings” option.
I figured it out. For some reason, nitrado servers do not add all of the possible settings to the ini. Just had to manually add some of the settings. Thank you though. Also, I plan on not enabling sp settings.
I'll try n figure batch stuff out again
You guys now when they will have cluster support?
Best guess is when scorched earth come out
thats not scheduled till first dlc map comes out
You'll essentially want to monitor the windows processes for the ark server and if the process is missing then do the thing to start the server and wait 2 minutes before checking again
Did anyone figure out the new loot container BP/ID for bosses?
If it were something like c or js I could think of how to do it. But bat? What listen? Port? If false exe.
Anyone on Xbox who still has their old ASE Nitrado server, make sure to enable expert mode and that will switch your game.ini and gameusersettings.ini into the correct format for use on ASA. All my settings from previous servers were saved into notepad so it was a simple copy and paste. Obviously settings have changed so you’ll still need to test.
You could do it in js also. No matter what language the logic is mostly the same.
In batch you use the timeout and goto function. Similar to a settimeout function in JS that calls itself after the timer to create a loop
TASKLIST | FINDSTR ArkAscendedServer || START "" "C:\startarkserver.bat"
timeout /t 60 /nobreak
Goto BEGINSCAN```
Your not pinging anything or checking ports, your looking for a windows process, basically the list of things in the task manager
anyone been able to fix that outdated mods onm server makes client reinstall mods all the time?
Is it possible to mess up your server while adding adjustments and mods??? I just added a bunch of stuff and went to restart it , not my server isn’t showing up when I type in my name
It’s been like 10. I just panic restarted again rn. I’ll give it like 20 before I start crying
Lmao I’m obviously a noob
3:19 sever finished restarting.
Currently refreshing like a mad man
whats it called?
Marty , password protected
Nitrado says the state is ✅
Marty's Ark?
It’s just Marty
ooh mb
what settings did you change?
I also added chibis and tek stuff to my loot drops 🫣 idk if that matters
i myself modified drops and those work
Did I break my server lmao
did you use any software to edit the setting? ea beacon?
I used beacon Omni
strange, i do the same
Is someone available to give some advice?
I don’t think so , I think I left that alone
I’m bummed lol. Hopefully I figure it out
try turning it on
On the ASA unofficial.... how do i chabge taming speed? Its nowhere in the ini
yes i have the same problem
its not pre written, gimmi a sec
i can still carry my own dinos but the carry of wild dinos seems to be broken on servers with PVE Enabled
EXATLY same goes for me. And this happend with patchesh yestarday before it it was working fine
yes, same, and today patch do not fixed it
GameUserSettings.ini
put it under [ServerSettings]
TamingSpeedMultiplier=1.0 This is default
@wicked cave
@vital shadow tank you
np
That will work for xbox yes?
yes
K thanks
I wonder if beacon changed the name of my server lol
Yep
On nitrado it said untitled project 1
I think I see it lmao smh. I’m gonna restart the server again, with the name update
dw it will get fixed in like 2 or 3 years.
So if self hosting do I need to edit my launch arguments to allow Xbox players to find/join my server? its been running since launch and working fine for steam users.
i dont think you can yet
yeah i tried many things but no way to fix it, i even tried the old option name with b prefix
nothing to do
also tried to include it directly in my startup script, still not working
i even tried to add it in the game.ini file 😄
im not 100% but i heard something in line console users not being able to join self hosted servers at all
well that's lame if true
-crossplay in my bat start file allow my firend from xbox to join me
guess ill wait till my buddy gets it installed and work from there
nice, thanks for the correction 🙂
@gray rapids thanks!
-NoBattlEye -crossplay -mods="928793,928988,928603"
i seen some saying that Battle Eye was the problem
when i had .crossplay after mods it did not let him join.
make sure you have -automanagemods as well
yeah i have nobattleye already
@heady walrus the code I edited above should work, just set the path to ur start script
Still soon?
@vital shadow just an update, I’m logging into my server now . Thank you very much 🤞🏻 we figured it out lol. You got me to think of the possibilities
I've got xbox players in my server
btw for ppl doing selfhost
this batch script auto restart on Doexit and crash

ranom LOL, So I enabled crossplay as well as winterwonderland event on our casual server, getting Gachaclaus and Tek Parasaurs now on the Island (ASA)
how did you enable that?
I just added -ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland -crossplay to our server startup bat, not sure if crossplay is required, I was just messing with new options.
the tech parasaurs are strange
I never made a start script I just launch from steam.
Anyone have an exemple for sending a rcon command for ASA Dedicated ?
(If possible in powershell, but python will do fine aswell)
you can use code formatter in discord

I don't think it's -crossplay anymore
Think it's individual commandlines for Xbox and win10 cross play
Is anyone else having an issue where no matter what name you pick it always displays as human?
on that start/wait do we put the path to the exe?
hey, I am setting up a server for me and my mates, but not sure if we should turn certain ini files (such as babycuddleintervals) higher or lower than 1 - is there a video or something I could watch to see these questiosnj?
not if you have the batch file in the same loaction as the ascended exe
Server keeps removing my batch script 
ok im gonna do that rq
i do that and then make a shortcut and put it on desktop
Now that i think about it I think it did that to me too
Tried to create a gist of it since the bot here keeps removing it
LOL 🤣
I personaly use an app called beacon. Its very eazy to setup all your server setting with this tool.
Anyone on Nitrado having issues with the File Save not actually saving progress?
are you using cheat SaveWorld
@near snow okay I'll look at it now, thank you ❤️
or enablecheat - password - the saveworld
I mean.. If I'm online, sure I can do, right? But when I'm not available... lol
just lower your auto save interval
For xbox compatibility, we only need to add: -crossplay ? Any problem of having "-crossplay -nosteamclient" ?
Yep that's all thats needed
i have "-crossplay -nosteamclient" is that a problem?
I do ASA_Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe %map_name% -NoBattlEye -crossplay -mods=yadayadaya
I have it on 600 Seconds (10Mins) and it hasn't saved once in 6 Hours
I do not think you even need it. I was crossplay without it
That is spooky
-nosteamclient is for epic compatibility
Yeah, annoyingly frustrating too lol
You dont need -crossplay its just crossplay by default
how long does that script take to reboot server?
so i want epic + xbox compatibility, that's why -crossplay and -nosteamclient
Anyone using a nitrado server have an issue where every character name is Human but shows the correct name in the character sheet?
Hmm I cant join on xbox now using that script. Just times out. But if I use regular launch I can. Any ideas?
The script I sent?
no maximon ^^
can dm
Send it to me too so i can check if i need to edit something in mine. thanks
oh well
hey, I've just sent my server to become online (with Nitrado) and cannot find it on unofficial servers, how do I fix anyone?
be sure you tick the right checkbox at the bottom of the screen, like the password protected
that was it, thank u heaps
Nitrado is so 💩, the server is stuck in a "Restarting", "Installing update", "Server Started", "Restarting", "Installing update", "Server Started", "Restarting"...
It's brand new ffs.
How do I force stop it, so I can just do a "Reinstall"?
I can't reinstall because it keeps restarting, and saying the server is busy.
Its not just nitrado the server i run from home got the same problem. Closed steam completely and now i can get back into the server but it keeps reinstalling the mods first before you can join
I don't know if this is the right chat for this question but, me (im on xbox) and a friend (their on steam) were trying to play together on a non-dedicated server but their name didn't show up and when I tried hosting and them joining me they couldn't find me either, but we were able to join the same official server, so is it that cross play doesn't work for non-dedicated or is there a way to let us play together?
I think for now you have to stick official or your own unofficial dedicated server. Far as I am aware no one has being able to get crossplay to work with non deli
Ohh... ok, that's a shame cuz we were so excited to play ark together again
But thanks for letting me know Ninja
so i have not enabled crossplay all mods that are crossplayable seem to be stuck ion an infinate download loop i took out these mods and left non crossplay mods in they are fine are we being forced into running a crossplay server or is it just a bug
ask them to start the game without battle eye and try again
Are non dedicated servers private? If not is there a way to make them private? I've never used non dedicated before (used a spare xbox for dedicated server for ase). Sorry if this is the wrong chat for this question
Ok, but can you elaborate on what you mean by battle eye?
Hi there, is someone available to help me test the crossplay? I do not own an XBOX so I can't test if my server is available 😅
Anyone know where to turn on floating damage numbers for my dedicated server? One of the few settings I can't find in the files
it's the anti cheat included with the pc version of the game, when they are starting the game from steam, they have 2 option, start the game with or without battle eye
it seems, this anti cheat is blocking connection from console to pc games
it seems it's also a problem for dedicated server
If they are restarting the game chosing the right option, you should be able to join
Is anyone available to check the server connection on XBOX? 😅 Thank you in advance^^
What's the server name? I can search for it
Perfect, thank you very much!
Server name should be: The Beach Bob's Resort (Crossplay Test)!
I think it should be up already 
Ok, thanks jericho and koz for your help, hopefully it works for us when we are able to play
I can see it and it's asking for a password. Is that all you needed?
If you mind, could you try joining? I'll DM the password!
Sure
Huge thanks to @quiet crater for testing the XBOX/Steam connection which seems to be working perfectly! The BBR is now officially crossplay 
hey, with my server (nitrado) where do i go to change harvest multiplier?
please, can you share with us your changes to make it crossplay with xbox ?
Hey everyone I’m having issues with setting up breeding rates on my nitrado server. I’ve added the multipliers but for some reason after I restart server it does not work. Help please.
had the same issue, not sure what we doing wrong
I put this under server settings in the gameusersettings.ini
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1000
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=2.5
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=80
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.01
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=3
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=185
This is for nitrado server on pc
I only added -MULTIHOME and -crossplay in the commandline parameters 😅
Though I do have to add that the mod support is a bit janky at the moment, I tested an unmodded test server and that worked so far.
I think it will just take a couple days for the dust to settle on crossplay mods and the mod devs have the time to update them properly

ok, if i'm right, the -crossplay is not required for ASA
thx for sharing
I wasn't sure, as the wiki mentioned that the config exists for both versions, I figured it wasn't an issue to add it anyway 😛
and MULTIHOME=True can also be used in the GameUserSettings.ini
Sure no worries, once some mod updates that we use are cooked on CF I'm gonna test a server running those mods again
Yeah it's similar to ASE but I'm using a script to handle auto-reboots and such so it's easier to just dump it in the commandline 😅
At least I got the crosschat/tribe log sync working for ASA on multiple servers so that should fit the crossplay nicely^^
all hail the logs 🙏
i still have problems with the tribe logs not working fine on ASA, i'm still investigating why
What do you mean exactly with tribe logs not working? 🤔
fine in game, but logs files on the server are empty
probably missing one parameter somewhere, it's at the end of my todo list 😄 i didn't checked it yet
It goes under game.ini
Disconnect the radar from the seat, maybe that will work, oh wait, never mind
lol
Hmmm that's weird. I'm using the following commandline parameters: -ServerGameLogIncludeTribeLogs -ServerGameLog
Dude the cooking / review time for mods is so bull shit
So annoying how long it’s taking
I got some more commandline parameters but those are just for my ASA <-> Discord chat/tribe log sync 😅
Did you have to do anything besides adding -crossplay to the start command?
Crossplay is enabled by default... -crossplay is an ASE only launcher argument
-ServerPlatform=PC -pconlymods will deactivate crossplay
Ah that is great to know, thanks
Yeah turns out it's working by default 😅
My dino multipliers for stats don't work either. Idk if breeding does I haven't made it that far to test. 100% tho stats multipliers do not work
Must be a Nitradoh thing
cross-ark is not implemented until SE is released. And crossplay dedi is enabled by default
Ok so how do you stop single player downloads
Can very easily download your uploads from single player
just disable it in the INI settings
I’ve been looking everywhere did simple setup didn’t switch game.ini tab
-notransferfromfiltering
I have this question as well because if I disable uploads/downloads what happens after overseer
You pick a spawn on the island like after you die
you can do these also, what i put would be for your BAT. these are for ini
Restricting Transfers
By default, people will be able to transfer characters, tamed dinos and items between your clustered servers. If you want to restrict what can be transferred, you have access to these command line options that you can specify when launching your servers.
?PreventDownloadSurvivors=True
Disable downloading characters from the cluster to this server.
?PreventDownloadItems=True
Disable downloading items from the cluster to this server.
?PreventDownloadDinos=True
Disable downloading tamed dinos from the cluster to this server.
?PreventUploadSurvivors=True
Disable uploading characters to the cluster from this server.
?PreventUploadItems=True
Disable uploading items to the cluster from this server.
?PreventUploadDinos=True
Disable uploading tamed dinos to the cluster from this server.
they go in [ServerSettings] section within GameUserSettings.ini
So how do you stop single player downloads and allow transfers?
-notransferfromfiltering
Oh ok that goes in game.ini?
Launch argument
anythign outside the cluster ID wont be able to be transfered, if youre clustere then do
-NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=whateveryourclusterIDis
Can I cluster 2 island maps?
Not currently no
What tab is the launch argument?
You’re all amazing!!!
Sorry I’m a Bob with this
Thank you!
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64
your launch BAT is under there
"TheIsland?SessionName=MyServerName1?AltSaveDirectoryName=Save1?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015" -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=cluster1
Oh I’m setting up xbox servers not steam
if youre on nitrado i am not sure what their UI looks like or where to navigate on it
Yeah nitrado
well it would be a similar file structure either way
Appreciate the help
Your better off getting Beacon if your on Nitrado
yerr sorry im not familiar with nitrado
Beacon won’t be ready yet
I'm using Beacon
Most ASE stuffs compatible
I’ve never used beacon always just read through nitrados pages and steam forums
ok ive helped ppl someone help me plsssss lolol my dino multiplier settings do not work there is nothing more i can try
Are you sure your ini is getting written to your server?
yes because underneath my dino settings are my player ones and they are working
Odd for sure,, working for me

i removed the ADD and Affinity ones to post it but theyre also in there, none of the dino ones work at all tho
is there any limitations/requirements for cluster id?
that is exactly how it is suppose to be in the right place but does not work. i do have a stack mod but i removed it last night to try and was trying it on a clean install server and alas it still did nothing
Are you checking dinos already tamed before those settings? Or checking on freshe tames after?
both
hmmm
i truly do not know what is wrong because i have it all set right and as i have countless times before this
your code is correct
i only have AA, utilities plus, 10k stack mod and solofarm installed
i guess i can try removing solofarm maybe that is somehow stopping the dino changes idfk im honestly over it, server been down all night everyone annoyed with me like it my fault
Have you tried changing the "_DinoTamed" number strings to shorter strings? maybe ASA is not handling those long strings properly?
Let me generate something in Beacon to test
i got it to work once by adding the dinos lines under [ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides] instead of [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] in game.ini but now that doesnt work either
should be how it is defined because there is 3 other types of the dino settings too and none of those are affecting anything either
so i only have low level dinos spawn in the highest i found was lvl 80 and i have settings as in official so max lvl is 150 anyone any idea how or why
Tamed Per Level only has 8 entries.. you have 10
i copied it direct from singleplayer so idk
what did it generate for you
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0]=2
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[1]=2
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[2]=0.999989986
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[3]=0.999989986

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[9]=3
will try thanks, shouldnt matter tho as the numbers are still defined to the appropriate stat
Can't post a screenshot of Beacon for you
il try it but it shouldnt matter as the end numbers are still associated to the correct stat
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] is correct
yerrr
just makes me not even want a server up tbh this is how it is suppose to work so i really dont know and i dont wanna spend another 8 hours sitting here today trying it, there is nothing more to try buit just keep repeating it
Hello Somone know the fix for Raw mutton stacking ?
Have you done a Dino wipe?
What I am seeing on the WIKI is that only 0 thu 9 are valid for "PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed"
yes im aware thanks tho
it could have 100 numbers there it doesnt matter as it only read what is in the [ ] at the end
I think it’s still bugged
Oh man. the same problems still exist as in ASE
lol now the server just doesnt appear in the server list at all im actually over this sht
no i dont know how xD cant get admin acces on xbox smh
enablecheats "adminpassword"
-ForceRespawnDinos add to your bat
ya that didnt do anything as i thought
Are you running Nitrado, a dedicated, or a non-dedicated
nitrado
Sorry... if I hear of something I'll ping you
Did you set it up?
yeh
thanks appreciate you trying
Please help me .. I made my server cross play for all platforms but now steam players can’t join. And they already built up in my server and I don’t want to do them dirty like that. Why isn’t it showing up for them?
Then you need to make sure that there is an admin password in place. Then in game use the command “enablecheats pasword” then I think “destroywilddinos” I could be wrong on the exact wording of the last one
To be honest, the spawn container on the Island have low pop and low levels.. 150s are rare. Just have to kill the wilds until you get a high level
I just tested ran through overseer and my server is dropping my inventory in the overseerer arena like uploads and downloads are prevented I have
Launch Options
-NoBattlEye -UseDynamicConfig -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=blahblahblah
GUS.ini
noTributeDownloads=false
PreventDownloadSurvivors=false
PreventDownloadItems=false
PreventDownloadDinos=false
PreventUploadSurvivors=false
PreventUploadItems=false
PreventUploadDinos=false
Is there something I am missing, sorry I feel really stupid right now.
how do u get the command prompt on console xD it aint the same as 0ase
Well clusters arnt a thing yet so that could be doing it
That I’m not sure, google might be your friend on that one
it was happening before I did the cluster thing as well and I had it wide open to singleplayer uploads/downloads
Are spawn locations and names the same as it was for ASE?
Right now editing spawn containers is bugged and will crash
Please help me .. I made my server cross play for all platforms but now steam players can’t join. And they already built up in my server and I don’t want to do them dirty like that. Why isn’t it showing up for them?
Maybe it’s the upload survivors and items being false
Do you have people playing on console? If not you can try making it not cross play
enablecheats and my password doesnt do shit
its weirddd xD
is this a launcher command or server setting ?
Yes a lot of console players. But In nitrado I have it so steam windows and console can play. I added that when it dropped yesterday and now it locked out steam players when they built up
you dont get a confirmation, just try whatever cheat you want to use
i see alot of people recommend trying the fly cheat to confirm if its working
i did but the cheats dont do anything if i enter them and the dino wipe doesnt either
Anyone know how to fix it so the online game chat stops censoring basic words including the word THE on AsA for unofficial setup?
Yeah fly is a quick one to try
it doenst work at the moment! Wilcard didnt put it in!
make sure the admin password you enetered in the setup/config does not have a leading or trailing space
look at the moment there is no unoffical Travel Crossplay server between two maps because it doenst work
Whaaat when will it work? That’s so unfair for the steam players that already built up and why would it give me the option for it
okay i can use fly etc but the destroywilddinos command doesnt do anything or do u need to restart server after u did it
i think when SE comes out mabee tomorrow nobody knows
check unoffical servers there is no single one out how have the option to travel between maps
Cheat destroywilddinos then fly around in admin mode to make stuff spawn back
Cross-ARK and Crossplay are two seperate things
sorry yes.
I mean it’s not even traveling between maps. I’m saying cross play. With steam and Xbox
sorry thats possible we have allready a lot xbox player on ourer map
If you are on Nitrado, shut the server down, reapply your crossplay settings and restart the server
Ok I’ll try
I saw something on cross play not being available until December but I don’t get why they would make that wait.
I hope it isn’t true
Cross-ARK will be available when SE drops
Yeah I’m not worried about that. Just the fact that my steam players can’t join after I made it cross play for Xbox
I don't know how Nitrado is activating it in their web admin, so I think maybe ask them in their Discord
Ok thanks
What’s the ini for auto engram unlock?
tried removing all mods still same issue
can anyone recommend decent mating intervals and taming speeds, imprints etc? dont wanna be stuck for hrs messin w that stuff
Well I'm as stumped as you are... no clue
ya at this point ive defin exhausted every possible thing to try and have confirmed through multiple avenues that what i have is correct so fck me i guess thanks game
Where is your server?
running on my PC here
Separate box then you play on?
na but i never have
if that was the issue then none of the lines would work in the ini not just a small portion specific to one thing
they did not only mess up the German translation of the dinos. Argy can no longer carry wild dinos as long as the server is set to -culture=de. And who knows what else does no longer work.
Workaround: set the server language to -culture=en
I was just curious
for sure
oh, thx, i tried many thing to solve that problem, i'll try that
Is there a way to fix my users having to re-favorite or my server just out-right not showing up on favorites? Couple of them plan to stop playing because of it.
Wildcard issue
Well, might as well call my unofficial server dead then. Irritating users into playing on official seems to be their play.
Pretty sure Favorites are bugged across the board
This is not true, players can travel between servers on my cluster!
Having to search for the server isn’t that big of a deal.
Although, it's a bit different than usual
Big enough deal for my users complaining about it lol
Do they need a helmet?
hello guys, can someone help me make a non dedicated server?
change the server name to aaaaaaa to make it an easy search for persons too lazy to type?
Cross play & Cross server transfer are both possible! I was even able to take items with me from server A to server B through the upload system^^
No, but expecting a feature to work isn't unheard of.
True but it’s technically a new game on an engine that WC is still trying to fined the ins and out of. Plus they are far more focused on the back end performance side right now.
Sounds like a skill issue, as they are re-fixing issues that have been, for years, fixed on ASE.
Anyone know why I can’t find my own nitrado server on steam?
It's not a Steam query any more.. its EGS
UE4 and UE5 have some coding differences that could make things perform differently then each other. So what they expected to work when they moved it over might not work the same after. And in part yeah it is a skill issue, this is why they decided to do SA instead of push ark 2. That way they could get their feet wet in UE5 to make ark 2 the best it can be.
Can someone please explain why our characters have stopped getting EXP midway through lvl 38 when im using a custom EXP ramp override. I've used programs to make the code and i KNOW it should be correct. We are running a dedicated server (nitrado) with the code going to lvl 125 ASA.
tell me your cluster
for us there was many bugs
and we talk about Island to Island server not a Mod MAP
Ah well that might be different then
I've tested transfer between Island - Svartalfheim and took some items with me
thats works but also a lot of bugs
both seem to be working properly
bugs and open to exploits
the exploits is the biggets problem
Mitch tell me your Server then i can download a 1000 Level giga ^^

Is anyone else having issues changing breeding values? Mating interval/incubation/maturation speeds all seem to stay default no matter what I set for values in game.ini
I am unable to find an Xbox server with Crossplay enabled on my Windows Store version of Ark. They just reenabled setting and restarted server, still nothing
I had the issue where I would make a change, but then had to reset the surver for anything to take over. Have you tried that?
yeah I've restarted it a bunch and tried several different values
I know that clustering itself isn't a thing yet (was released with SE back in 2016 ASE) but doesn't the no filtering commandline argument take care of that?
Regardless, the cluster is safe^^
same for me with dino stat multipliers
guys, I'm having troubles with steamcmd, everytime I try to use force_install_dir it doesn't find the folder I am leading him to
@hardy verge mods broken by latest updates?
We have next to no mods due to the cross-platform crap. None of them would effect exp in the slightest. Just AA, Utilities+ basically.
is that any way to activate the death beacon on asa???
So I don't know if this is a user issue or a server issue, I can join my server with any PC in the house and the server is from OVH but someone said they get connection timedout but it works fine for me. Can someone be nice enough to test it for me hehe
@charred dagger have to restart it for most changes to take affect...the ini's tell the program what values to plug in upon start ..it won't revisit the ini till a restart
No death beacon in vanilla ASA
It was the same for like password and name changes too.
PVE SERVER?
Yes it's PVE
i see it
Is there anyway to change the UI so dino names and things are a different color? The pale yellow aint doing it for me.
but i cant conect
how do you know what it's called?
If you want to avoid all issues, always shutdown your map, then make your changes and save, then start it up again.
#i see it but i cant conect
@dusty swallow Are you connecting to ARKNATION ASCENDED 10xH/G/B/T ?
nope wait i try this install mods
Hi, I am running a dedicated server for myself and a friend. I have it all set up and working but had a question/problem. I have my gameusersettings.ini all set but there is no game.ini file in my server files. I have the one from my single player game. Can I just copy it over?
i cant join!
yes
Well crap, I wonder why I can join by no one else :/
Yes
I've been running a server for myself and my friends, we havent had any issues since the updates pushed early yesterday morning. everything seems to boot fine but then none of us can find the server in the server browser
i can send screenshots through DMs if anyone can help, i just want to be able to play with my friends today and not have the server stuck offline still
@charred dagger @near snow Thanks!
Does it come up if you search it?
nope
okay this may sound weird, but i am playing asa and i really miss the bullet crafting redux mod from ase. i'm trying to change the crafting recipes for all the bullets. this might be a stupid question, but under ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts could i change BaseCraftingResourceRequirements to be less than 1? Say, 0.5? Is there any chance tht would just make it multiply the amount made?
I would double check that the ports are forwarded correctly just in case
already ahead of you, completely redid them already
On both the router and the pc firewall?
yup
i would verify the server files just to make sure its updated properly
If a server can't be found usually its either because its not updated or ports aren't setup properly
so heres the weird
in my .bat file its coded to verify and update the server every time, however, im now noticing it says ark version 26.11
any reason why setting up a password on my dedicated server makes the server unjoinable because it just makes you download all the mods then sends you back to the home screen?
but that doesnt make sense considering it worked until they released XBox
that be why it dont show up if its still on 26.11, clients only show server with same major version number
A solution to fix the carry of wild dinos: put your server in EN with -culture=en just tried it and it fixed the problem
this shows before my updating script finishes running though so im not sure what to do
That is odd as my Client shows all versions
you try running just the steamcmd update part
I am hosting a server and I am having issues with character inventory being dropped during an character upload/ascension. I have all the preventXYZupload/download set to false. What am I missing?
mine only shows servers that start with 31.
still showing 26.11
how did you code your bat file to do tha check and auto update? i need to get that added to my bat file.
what the window show when running the steamcmd
nah i pulled it up after
how can i add the auto update code to my bat file?
DMed you
thx
basically i just removed the part in my .bat file to turn the server on and left only the update portion, ran the update, restored the .bat file to its original version where it would turn the server on, turned it on, and nothing
How can we tell what mods are useable for crossplay on curseforge?
go to the server install dir/steamapps and move the appmanifest_2430930.acf file somewhere and run the steamcmd again
Can I play on an older version of the game on a server. I was playing on a server last night on unofficial, but the game update came out this morning. My game updated but the server didn’t, is there any way I can play it
To force an update, rename the \ShooterGame***Binaries *** directory, then run the update command with the "verify" included, it that should force an update of the Binaries
Has anyone on Xbox had issues activating admin commands on password protected?
thats pretty much a full reinstall doing that
I don't know why they just don't add back an admin whitelist
None the less it should resolve the version issue
running this now
make a txt file, put that ID in the file, i put mine in D:\ASAserver\ShooterGame\Saved\server\TheIsland_WP, name it what you like ex "AdminList.txt"
in GUS.ini under [ServerSettings] put a line as fallows:
AdminListURL="file://D:\ASAserver\ShooterGame\Saved\server\TheIsland_WP\AdminList.txt"
That how I have to do major updates, reinstall and it updates the needed files. Always make a backup first.l
removing the manifest file normally fixes it also
anyone having an issue with mods not updating on a dedicated server? we have the -automanagedmods but they don't seem to be getting updated
i noticed with the update comand in the startup bat that it does not have a wait step to ensure update is finished before it starts the server
this may be why restart and you see the update go but the server version isnt hitting correctly
automanagedmods dont do anything on ASA, it should update them on a restart
@celest halo i love you
interesting. even though we took them off it still seems to be trying to redownload them when we connect
even though we have restarted it multiple times and stopped and started
yeah i threw a pause on line 6 and added another space
that would also mess up the manifest file
god dude @celest halo you are a massive lifesaver
@stoic sable no need for pause line, add /wait after the start command for update and if the update takes longer than the pause line youll be ok. if its shorter than it will start sooner.
you can delete the file you moved it should of made a new one in the folder
pause makes it so i have to manually press a button before itll go start the server tho
You mean ark still is downloading mods when you connect to your server? uninstall the mods on your game and then just connect to the server and it will install them, should stop after that
I think I tried that last night but will try again today.
when I do that though it says they are outdated locally when I stut the game down and launch it again
Hey everyone! I have a Nitrado server and I can’t get my settings to lessen the food and water drain. I did PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=0 in gameusersettings.ini but it’s not working. Anyone else having this problem?
cant use 0 do .01
I believe 0 won't change anything
I tried .01 too and it didn’t help
so just to be clear since the mods are managed by curseforge they should be updated on the server automatically on reboot with no additional action
So I tried zero just to see if it would stop it
Yes
true, but with the wait you can schedule restarts and also make it a service to start the server
true
Does anyone know if the server scale settings are the same for Ascended as they were in Evolved?
when I do this on server start it updates the GUS.ini and adds in extra \ like this
AdminListURL="file://C:\GSM\\servers\\serverfiles\\ShooterGame\\Saved\\SavedArks\\TheIsland_WP\\AdminList.txt"
i use a website, for mine so not sure what it does when cheating it to a file on the pc
ohh that works too thanks
can you set it to LocalHost?
i have a local apache running on my lan with out ssl i use for that and dynamicconfig. someone else tested it with file i just copyed and pasted what they put in here last night
What would be the URL on LocalHost on the same box?
localhost or 127.0.0.1 should work if there is a webserver running on the same box
That's what I thought.. I'll try it
Is there a fix for the 50/50 glitch? Server I'm playing on appears to be worse than any others I've seen. Dozens upon dozens of wild tames and structures appearing there. And seems to cause server crashes.
Anyone have a fix of any sort??
is steam installed on your server ?
the real steam app, not steamcmd
i know some people had to install it, even if it wasn't running
at least for steam servers
i didn't said you want it 😄
I didn’t see that when I wrote that guide, I’ll check
you can try adding a -nosteamclient to you start script but not sure it will solve the problem
thx i will try
-culture=en mistaken not locale 😄
if I use -culture=none can I be an evil player?
Odd, it did that for me too, have you tried a restart to see if it works a second time? With the double slashes
Some reason I can’t enable flyspeed leveling
There was a glitch that they hadn’t work out yet, but when I updated my server yesterday it was working. Is that option set to true?
SomeHow -culture=eng did change my session name to some random and olso did set pveFlycary to false and server was not ServerHardcore=False
ServerPVE=True
anyone else having problems with mods after the update yesterday? i only have steam checked off on the platforms list and its still not working
Not in game rn
Zen Rowe — Yesterday at 5:26 PM
It's being worked on. Nitrado is aware of the issue``` Zen's reply to this yesterday ```Pope Thoro I — Yesterday at 3:48 PM
only u + works on nitrado servers for some reason xD```
Not true my argie had speed level ability last night after the major update
thanks
my argie has it also
But is your argent moving faster tho?
Anyone know the ini to Auto Unlock engrams?
yes
yes
Yes I put like 5 points in and normal speed was the same as the original shit flight.

can we change mutation chance on servers?
I am using a MOD for flyer speed, and use my points elsewhere, but thats me
How many ascension levels should there be in ASA? 20?
15 for tek cave + 5 for chibi?
I want my player level to be max at 152 before ascensions, but the level is capping at 135
My player xp is what it should be for level 152 but im only 135
I have level code for all ascensions as i imported from ASE, should i remove those that are not needed?
If I join a server with mods do I have to install the mods everytime I join cause I'm trying to join a server with mods and already had all mods installed before hand and I'm still having to install them all again
Its some kind of loop bug
Ok
Does anyone know how to raise tame speed on the Nitrado servers?
In ASE singleplayer can i upload my survivor and dinos and switch arks or do i have to cluster single player as well? also what if im hosting an undedicated server with 1 other person?
Yeah it is, I actually just got it to work
Is anyone’s server crashing randomly right now? Or did I download too many mods
Config setting to increase max number of tames for a single tribe?
do crafting overrides work on dedicated asa servers? it's not working for me; here's what i have tried to change some of the ammo recipes to, but literally all of them are still the standard crafting recipe. did i do something wrong? it's near the bottom of game.ini:
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleBullet_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleShotgunBullet_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleBullet_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

i copied the template off the ark fandom wiki's server config page
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=
i've also tried it spaced out like this:
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(
ItemClassString="PrimalItemAmmo_SimpleBullet_C",
BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=(
(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",
BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,
bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),
(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Gunpowder_C",
BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,
bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)
)
)
needs to be a single line

I need help getting my server settings correct. Is anyone good at it? I was trying to get "imprint times" around 7 minutes but I ended up with 01:11:00 for an argy
Is anyone’s server crashing for no reason??
Can someone test my server again to see if they can connect?
You got any mods?
List them if so
10-4! might be able to help you out
how do I increase engram points so people can learn every engram?
I got U+ , brachiosaurus , ceratosaurus, deinosuchus, xiphanticus , helicopron , basalisk, rock drake, rhynio craving change , tpc Rex, upgrade station , automated ark, s Dino, stacking mod 10000/-90% weight , ez engram unlocked, cryo storage gun thing, better oviraptor
A lot 😂 I think it’s the stacking one or the T. rex one
its most likely going to be TPC Rex, Better Oviraptor, or brachiosaurus/xiphanticus
So yesterday my Nitrado server shut down for what I assume was an update sense it had a countdown, and ever sense the tracking list hasn't worked,all dinos say "updating info"
So I had the Dino one yesterday, it was fine. Ima take off the oviraptor and tpc Rex
brachiosaurus/xiphanticus were crashing servers but they just got updated and possibly fixed, def try those other ones. Stacking mod works great
Can someone help me with baby imprint server stats?
Last LANG update is making me MAD! We're just pressing double space to fly in creative 😄
Command not recognized: volar
It is translating every word in the game, wtf?
Baby Imprinting Stat Scale Multiplier: 1.00
Baby Imprint Amount Multiplier: 1.00
Baby Cuddle Interval Multiplier: 0.15
Baby Cuddle Grace Period Multiplier: 10.00
Baby Cuddle Lose Imprint Quality Speed Multiplier: 1.00
These are my current settings and i'm getting a 1 hour and 11 minute between imprint timer on an argy. I am hoping to get it down to 7 minutes.
IA's for fast translate is not recommended, even commands are translated
i tried that first but that didn't work either. or do you mean every one of them needs to be on a singular line
wiki says each entry must be placed entirely on a single line and without spaces.
is this not that?
Has anyone been able to det the url configs to work on self hosted ASA servers? (all URL's have the http colon slash slash added in my file, just trying to keep the mod bot happy)
AdminListURL="localhost1/adminlist.txt"
CustomDynamicConfigUrl="localhost/dynamicconfig.ini"```
None of these show up in my configs and I have them listed in my start file
cant tell in discord if it is or not lol
How do i enable crossplay in my dedicated server?
its enabled by default if selfhosting
Awesome thank you
I have a local admin list working
in game use "cheat listplayers", and copy the long ID after your player name.
make a txt file, put that ID in the file, i put mine in D:\ASAserver\ShooterGame\Saved\server\TheIsland_WP, name it what you like ex "AdminList.txt"
in GUS.ini under [ServerSettings] put a line as fallows:
AdminListURL="file://D:\ASAserver\ShooterGame\Saved\server\TheIsland_WP\AdminList.txt"
i'm pretty sure it is, do you know anything else the problem could be?
When starting my Ark Survival Evolved Linux server there is an error that mod ... failed to install. I noticed this always happens to the first mod that is being tried to install. For the following it says "Success". How is it possible to fix that?

do they show in a webbrowser on the same pc the server is on
Nvm
your AdminListURL also has a 1 after localhost
i never had my ASE servers download them i just uploaded my clients mod folder to the servers
What kind of settings do i need to change for that? Just use the "ActiveMods=" in GameUserSettings and remove the Modinstaller in the Game.ini?
or do I just copy the mods to the server folder and leave the ini files as they are
i only had ActiveMods= in gus
Hello everyone. I was just wondering if any Xbox players have started up their own servers with nitrado yet. Looks like they only have pc servers available but does that matter currently with ASA
Yes I did, it’s very easy if you have used nitrado in the past
Same maps, they even come with crossplay enabled.
Hey, is it possible to change where an item is crafted at? I am trying to make the tek binocular available after a certain level and make it craftable in the fabricator.
Haaaa Thanks a lot, i just tested it and it's ok !!
They do yes. And for you other comment about the 1. it's a typo, in the config i have 127.0.0.1 but changed to localhost here so it would be easier for some people to read
Just wanted to shoot you and Update, it was the Rex or oviraptort one I believe . Hasn’t crashed since
Also, I’m new here, I found beacon Omni to be super clutch and helpful for any modding 🤍🤞🏻
Sidenote, can we add Dino’s ourselves or is that strictly thru mods
Thats a clever way to make a URL, thank you! Does the AdminListURL property show in the gameusersettings.ini?
i opened it in a notes app and it seems to be all in one line, no spaces
‘Installing mod’ every single time I load into server. Taking ageeeeeees
It helped but I still have a problem.
Current Situation: I was able to join the server and my dinos were still there and I had my inventory with my tools.
BUT: The whole house we build with S+ is missing (I still have a save file I think). Where exactly do I copy the mods to so the server recognizes them
server folder/ShooterGame/Content/Mods
Good to hear! and for right now it can be done through mods. However once more maps get released you may be able to do it through the config
okay also something i realized which has been goign on for a while but i didn't really pay much mind to before:
two separate of each ammo have been showing up in the smithy, e.g., but there seems to be no difference between them? like they have the same name, same recipe, everything. i did get a stacking mod a while back but since then i did do a mindwipe on my character and relearned engrams; every time i have done this the same thing happens
The solution is not from me, someone else posted it here before. I just relayed it to Apagon because we were speaking about that bug earlier
It seems it doubles the backslashs upon survey start up but it still work. I’m not sure it. Will after another restart
We tried this but I can't fine their name when I look in the non-dedicated servers
Unluckily didn`t work. The house is still missing and the other mods also don't work. In the session list it also doesn't say "YES" under "W/MODS".
In regards to mods, I've had them on my server for a while, but the server doesn't actually host the mod, is that a correct understanding?
-mods=928597,928793,939055,900062 -AutoManagedMods launch parameters
add in bat file to get mods running
Any fixes for this?
Ill try that
just use your mod id 😄 this from my PVP server 😄
Does it matter where i put the parameter?
positionwise
things need to be in the right header area
i just got a nitrado server for me and my cousin to play but im having issues setting it up on the website anyone able to help?
-ClusterDirOverride="E:\Ark cluster" -clusterid=arkania1 -mods=928597,928793,939055,900062 -AutoManagedMods -NoTransferFromFiltering
ignor other settings 😄
$TheIsland? -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid= -server -log -NoBattleEye
oh ok
-AutoManagedMods this after mod id to get update on restart
ok. ill be right back after testing
-AutoManagedMods does nothing on ASA
it do
Im still on Survival Evolved
it dont
Sorry if i didnt mention it
well.. a new problem has appeared. Mod Version Mismatch.
For Xbox mod users have you been able to do a map change mod like dwarves build and add a Dino also?
the server doesn't show up in the session list. I can only join via the Steam Game Server browser and then I get the Mod Mismatch
could someone help with a tether distance issue? We're changing the distance but its still tethering the same
Stolenvw he can sort it !
Admins of this discord need to have a separate channel for each ASA and ASE. That way it doesn’t get confused and people don’t get the wrong info
in asa ^
Has anyone figured out a way for xbox to join a non-dedicated steam server
Yeah pretending like ASE and ASA are the same or that ASE doesn't still exist is frankly asinine.
Do you have time to help me with the Mod Version Mismatch?
Or someone on steam to join a non-dedicated xbox server
not sure why it saying version missmatch if you copied them over
Offline Raid Protection not working? When i enable and log on, I am unable to access inventory of my structures/tames. I have it set to 10mins
I am getting the immediate lost connection to server followed by would i like to enter a queue to join even though the server isn't full, has anyone found a fix for it yet?
This is a bug that relogging should fix.
yea i tried and still no. restarted the server as well
Is your server set to PVP?
yes
I have never had it on our PVE server.
Why would you need ORP on PVE? lol
Because other people can grief you with wild tames?
true
Wild creatures in general, even without the involvement of other people.
If you play PVE you probably don't want to log in to your stuff dead for any reason like that.
Is anyone able to help me with figuring out how to do this please
Alright so whats the info on setting up a selfhosted ASA server for crossplay
dedicated non-nitrado etc
I just wished I knew who 2 join my friends non dedicated server
As that's the only reason I bought the game
crossplay is enabled by default on a dedicated selfhosted
i dont know if crossplay works with a non-dedicated
Can anyone try to connect to my server, it works for me but nobody else and it's hard to troubleshoot with it working for me lol
Thank you
Anybody know a fix to items disappearing from your inventory when crashing while building? So far only happens with pillars but that still sucks
when your game crashes it loads up the latest save
maybe it saved before you had the pillars
On a Server aswell?
server saves every 15min
Anyone know why blueprints on my server are way higher in level than they should be
is your game crashing or the server?
Client crashes, server is fine
Question.
Why is it that most settings I put in the gameusersettings.ini file are overwritten when the server boots, and the only way to set them is by adding the configuration to the start arguments?
And for game.ini everything is overwritten unless I set the file as read only (then the settings apply)
Seems like a bad design, or I'm doing something wrong. With every setting it's a toss up of how ill have to make x setting actually work in game
ASE or ASA? Nitrado server? using a Server Manager or Command line start?
ASA, Dedicated on my hardware. Command line start
The wiki says to set things in the gus.ini file, and the game says "haha, no, erase that"
The only thing I have found is over written when command starting an ASA server are things that are either not implemented yet or wrong syntex/spelling or wrong location
what lines are being changed for you?
in game user settings these ones don't stay if I enter them in the gameusersettings.ini file itself
MaxNumbersofPlayersInTribe=6
ServerAdminPassword=%password%
BanListURL="http://127.0.0.1/banlist.txt"
AdminListURL="http://127.0.0.1/adminlist.txt"
CustomDynamicConfigUrl="http://127.0.0.1/dynamicconfig.ini"
RCONEnabled=true
in the game.ini file, it is completely erased when the server launches unless I set it to read only. This is what I have in there

you editing and saving the file while the server is off
Looking, the first one is misspelled, should be MaxNumberOfPlayersInTribe, Also should be in game.ini
Can you not run a dedicated sever anymore on xbox?
Yeah, it still overwrites it, it worked the same on ASE for years, so I was wondering if I was doing something wrong
Good catch, thank you!
ServerAdminPassword= should be in the GUS, and not sure that it works as an argument
Hey so whats the deal with mods? How do i know which mods on cureforge i can use for my server that xbox people can still join
For me it only works as an argument, I have some other scripts that use it also for server management so having that set as an argument lets me keep it dynamic. I'm fine with that one but it still gets overwritten if I take it out of the start file for some reason
One message removed from a suspended account.
RCONEnabled looks good, should be in the GUS
I can not speak to those WEB URL you are using, I only use this one example AdminListURL="file://C:\\ARK\\config\\AdminListVDG1.txt"
That works for you in ASA?
Not sure what to say about that game.ini stuff you posted, I have no issues there
Yes, I am only running ASA at this time on a 2022 VM
what do we gotta do to level up flyer speed
I use a MOD for ASA, works well
Bro unofficial is unplayable. 180m tether distance??????
Rent a server
Or spin up a dedicated on your machine files are free
If your PC can handle it
Server will use up to 16 GB of ram and 2 cores
i use -AllowFlyerSpeedLeveling in bat file
Join my dedicated server
Nah mate need my own but wildcard just thought that they'd make me pay to remove a tether
Only other option is to spin up a dedicated server on a another machine
Thethering is there because the xbox cant render the whole map at once
tethers on pc as well
I was gonna by the game twice once on xbox and one on ps5 to have one of my consoles run the dedicated like I did with ase but it ain't an option anymore
free if you got a PC or laptop laying around. performance will vary on older hardware but it could probably handle a few players
I'm getting a cheap gaming laptop for christmas so I guess I'll have to do
Might aswell join it cos I've nothing else to do
