unofficial-setup-help

[dire shadow]

ill go test them out now. i was unsure as i tested them last night on an unoffical server and they still worked so i wasnt sure if the server was up to date or if they didnt stop those specific commands

[vagrant ledge]

ahh well if it stil works then it might be another thing they say they did but really changed nothing

[dire shadow]

still works on my unofficial where i am not the admin. gonna go check an official now

[vagrant ledge]

yeah had another player test and it stil works.. either its an official thing or a pvp thing not sure

[fathom meadow]

Anyone know a way around the constant roll backs when I restart my server? Nitrado is meant to auto save every 10 minutes and it's clearly not doing it at tge moment is there a way around this at all?

Like a command I can use so it saves before I take it down

[vernal rose]

Need help setting up an ark ASA server if anyone has any experience. Thanks

[dire shadow]

lmao they still work on official pvp

[vagrant ledge]

well doesnt surprise me haha

[opal osprey]

As admin, run “saveworld” from the console

[delicate smelt]

hey all - can anyone help - when I add the mod=927083 to my startup line, it crashes out to desktop saying unable to load mod. any ideas?

its for the Turkey Trial

[broken willow]

Enablecheats (password here)
Cheat saveworld

[delicate smelt]

hmm actually might be an old mod I already have not working rather than the TT mod

[broken willow]

So other people are having the same problem with their nitrado server repeatedly restarting and unable to start?

[distant hearth]

yes there has been mutiple people with this issue since the update

[broken willow]

I hate nitrado:/

[distant hearth]

even if you could use another provider, they all have issues

[distant hearth]

whilst you wait on nitrado to get it sorted, there is another work around but you need to learn how to take ftp backups of the server so , look into that if your bored

[broken willow]

I already have ftp backups

[distant hearth]

so you can just reinstall the game fresh to the server, load the back ups and your ini files. ive done this multiple times with ase servers

there is a risk of losing data if done wrong though

[raven wigeon]

server doesnt boot after this last update!!! any1 with same problem???

[median oar]

if im hosting from nitrado and i play ark through the xbox app but on my pc do i set it up for pc or xbox one?

[broken willow]

Thx I'll try this

[broken willow]

Yeah

[raven wigeon]

great

[distant hearth]

i always loaded the backup into my single player world first to ensure it was good, just im over cautious i guess

[raven wigeon]

what did they screw this time??

[distant hearth]

just set it up as cross play anyway, i think its like one box to tick or untick

[median oar]

how th do i set it up as cross play

this is my first time doin this

[fathom meadow]

Anyone know how to set up this RCON thing on nitrado?

[distant hearth]

id suggest watching a few youtube vids or something on setting up nitrado ark servers, there is a fair bit involved in it

[median oar]

k

[prime nymph]

anyone know where i could find the Official game.ini and gameusersettings.ini to setup a server with all the official settings?

[distant hearth]

nitrado has a guide on it for ase, id expect its the same on asa

[analog bridge]

Hello, I've got two mods running on my server (works just fine, got it booted and everything) - But everytime me or someone else tries joining the server, they ALWAYS have to redownload the mods taking upwards of 20 mins which is quite frustrating if your game has just crashed etc. Why is it that it needs to download the mod again after it has already done so once, twice or even more times?

[dry meteor]

Can't for the life of me get back on my friends server after the update, tried doing what was suggested but it hasn't worked, anyone know any other solutions? We all play on xbox

[unborn jetty]

does anyone know if cave creatures damage has been buffed? player on my server is saying they hitting higher numbers

[ripe yoke]

Tell them to download it before joining the server. This happened to me once.

[analog bridge]

Download it via the mod page in the game?

[ripe yoke]

Yes

[analog bridge]

Cause we've all done this, we downloaded it on our clients first. But haven't tried NOT downloading it on our clients before joining the server

[ripe yoke]

Normally you just download any new mods the the server installs and it works normally after but sometimes you have to re-download the mod again sometimes

[daring prairie]

For the taming speed. Do I need to add that in the game.ini file or gameuser? I did it in the gameuser and changed it to X4 but it’s not working

[distant hearth]

normal taming speed goes in gameuser.ini, passive taming goes in game.ini and needs to be less than 1 to increase it , so PassiveTameIntervalMultiplier=0.25 wud be 4x

do not ask me why they did that , coz it seems dumb ass coding to me, but thats how it is

[daring prairie]

okay thats not working for me. testing it right now and its still on x1

[distant hearth]

nitrado server?

[daring prairie]

yeah

[distant hearth]

did you stop the server wait 5 mins, change the ini, save it, then restart server?

[daring prairie]

yes. wrote it at the end of the file and saved it wenn the server was offline. i can try it again

[distant hearth]

check u dont have two instances of the code, usually they write there own line , so you just adjust that , it normally takes what ever instance is first but not always

[daring prairie]

TamingSpeedMultiplier=4

[daring prairie]

okay i will

@distant hearth Its working now

[analog bridge]

Narrowed it down to "svartalfheim" being the problem and seems to go "invalid" after joining the server once. Claims it needs to update but doing so doesn't seem to help :/

[prime nymph]

Where can i find the settings of official servers?

[distant hearth]

#server-rates

[prime nymph]

Not the rates, the actual settings. server strucutres amount, etc.

[unique matrix]

Can I get admin commands on a unofficial server, I own it and idk how to set it, I got everything set to true in the ini files that's needs to be and I got a password , I put in enablecheats (my password) and nothing. Do I need to whitelist myself? If I do how do I do it on ASA

[prime nymph]

to make a build server and have some fun with realistic official builds.

[distant hearth]

not sure sry

[thorn jungle]

@zealous aurora @proven prawn will crossplay between console and pc ever be possible on non-dedicated servers? or will we always have to setup our own unoffical server just to play a private session

[rich cloak]

Start here >> https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands , then if you have a specific question, ask the specific question

[dusky thistle]

sigh. links

[olive talon]

Please don't circumvent the filters. If it's not whitelisted, don't share it here. You can dm the user. Thanks.

[rich cloak]

I have been assuming the official WIKI is in fact Whitelisted

[olive talon]

Yes, I was not talking to you lol

[dusky thistle]

Was me linking ArkIDs, i didnt realize it was a whitelist thing. Saw your link and just guessed maybe it would work

[rich cloak]

Ok

As for linking the Official WIKI, it is a way to "Empower" people to solve their own questions

[dusky thistle]

Yea in a perfect world.

[olive talon]

Na, wiki is just one of the official links, so of course it's allowed.

[dusky thistle]

Is the whitelisted links available to see what they are? Things like ArkIDs, dododex, the ASB github etc are all useful ones in different places on here.

and safe*

[olive talon]

Dododex is allowed, again because its more official. I don't think we're allowed to just give out the whitelist.

[dusky thistle]

Fair, was worth asking.

Just to save some rejected attempts later if nothing else.

[wise kindle]

Note that fandom isnt the official wiki anymore, all that info is ages old. Use wiki.gg

[royal crow]

Help please. Tried setting up a non dedicated for me and a mate. If i choose the "Private Match" he cant find me, even if he searches. If i uncheck "Private" he can find me but then its open to random's joining. Is the Admin Password the same as a server password? No option to join via steam, we tried for 45 min then gave up. Why is it so difficult to host a session for mates to find?

[dusky thistle]

Admin password is for using ingame commands, server password is to join.

[royal crow]

Cheers, where do i find the option to set server password? Searched, but didnt come across it.

[dusky thistle]

that im not sure of, dont have a lot of experience with non-ded

[unique matrix]

@rich cloak ok so how do I get console commands on PS5 on a nitrado server, there is 0 about that in the wiki

Easy for y'all to send me to these steam accounts links but I'm on PS5 and no one video or wiki has help so I came here hoping to salve with some friendly Discord ppl, but I just get told to "figure it out yourself heres a link" and Everytime it's about PC and I watch to the end only to see that none of it was helpful. Thanks anyway.

Or read it

[distant hearth]

@unique matrix on xbox its pause menu then press the select button, ps5 prob similar it even tells u in the pause menu the button to press

[unborn jetty]

you have to turn it on in the settings first fyi

[unique matrix]

I'm on an unofficial sever

Did that

Set it to true in the ini too

[rich cloak]

The instructions to open the console, on console devices, is at the top of the page

[unborn jetty]

you went to settings > advanced and then turned on console access?

if so you should see a thing in the bottom left

[west nimbus]

Options, settings, advanced, console access. Then to use it press start and touch pad

[unique matrix]

Your not getting my question, I not ask how to open the console cam and menu, I ask how to make it work through nitrado, I know how to access it, none of the commands work unless I'm on single player

[west nimbus]

I mean your question wasn’t clear. To use admin commands you need to do

enablecheats your password

Then admincheat commandhere

[unique matrix]

I did that

[west nimbus]

But dinowipes don’t seem to work

[unique matrix]

Still didn't work

[west nimbus]

I mean that’s how it’s done but if commands aren’t working for you despite following enablecheats n admin command that’s a wildcard issue

[wise kindle]

Remove capitals from your admin password, its likely filtering the password cuz console has a bug with caps rn. Basically if you have capitals on console clients it REALLY likes to ignore your enablecheats line.

[unique matrix]

Tried that too

[wise kindle]

That fast?

[unique matrix]

I did all this eler

I said above I came here after all that

[rich cloak]

cheat destroywilddinos is the same for all platforms, if it is not working, there is something else wrong

[west nimbus]

its admincheat on unnofficial iirc

[dusky thistle]

i dont know of any commands that require admincheat

[rich cloak]

I use what I posted, and it is direct from the WIKI I linked also

[dusky thistle]

other than scriptcommand occasionally

[unique matrix]

Ok I'm out y'all are just thinking I'm stupid I guess I tried all this, yet I see ppl using console commands on PS5 on servers. So I guess Im beat thanks again for letting me know I just wasted 70 bucks.

[west nimbus]

70 bucks??

[dusky thistle]

Dont console commands have to be enabled in game settings for PS?

[rich cloak]

Other console owners do just fine with the commands, there is something simple being missed

[dusky thistle]

menu -> settings -> advanced -> console access?

[west nimbus]

the commands work fine for me on ps5 and nitrado server

Just dinowipe doesn’t seem to work for us but I reset server just before we log on to force a wipe

[rich cloak]

Have you tried an RConsole session?

[west nimbus]

what

[sterile osprey]

My servers crashing without a crash report, anyone got any ideas?

[wise kindle]

RCON commands are a better way to control your maps. Check out battlemetrics or search up RCON ark hosts for more info. There are several to choose from.

[rich cloak]

The cheapest way to run an Rcon for simple admin tasks is to install "RCON for ARK" on a smart phone, configure it with the data from your Nitrado page

[dusky thistle]

There's also ARKon desktop one if that is easier

[dusky thistle]

Running mods?

[rich cloak]

that can work also

[rich cloak]

I have local access to my Server, so ARKon is not a big help lol

[west nimbus]

im sure I’ll be fine we are only two people playing so

[zinc hill]

hey im having issues with group whistling not working on a server. no group whistles work and i have checked if the dinos are set to ignore it and they are not. is this bc of the update lastnight?

[dusky thistle]

Do you have the control group set to a different group?

[west nimbus]

My issue isn’t a setup issue anyway I was looking in here but I’m on my fourth attempt to download a mod in our server but it gets to 100% starts the download again gets to 100% and just crashes lol. Bf is on fine

[zinc hill]

im not sure how to do that

[dusky thistle]

are you on PC?

[zinc hill]

yes

[dusky thistle]

numpad selects control group, hit any number twice to clear it

[rich cloak]

Remove the mod totally from your local device, restart, then manually install the MOD before trying to connect

[sterile osprey]

Yes

[dusky thistle]

turn on extended HUD to show arrows over which creatures are able to "hear" whistles

[west nimbus]

I’m on ps5

[rich cloak]

It should be the same right?

[zinc hill]

yeah nothing changed sadly

[dusky thistle]

Server crashing with no report I would start there and see if any are conflicting or could cause an issue

[rich cloak]

Numlock key on?

[zinc hill]

im testing with two megatherium both set to following me

[zinc hill]

yes it is on

[sterile osprey]

Its been running for works until this recent update

[zinc hill]

wait wtf its working now

[distant hearth]

updates often break mods

[dusky thistle]

turn on your extended HUD, across the top it should say Tame Ordering Group: [none] if no groups are set

[west nimbus]

All I can do is remove it from my installed mods but we had the same issue with dwarven builders n I ended up just removing it

[zinc hill]

i guess u cant double tap 0 to get rid of it

[dusky thistle]

otherwise it will say which group is active

[dusky thistle]

Unless you already had them in group 10, which means you disabled then re-enabled it. 0 is for group 10.

[zinc hill]

interesting

i have no idea what the group thing is but it may be smart to look up a video explaining it

im still very new to ark thank you so much!

[dusky thistle]

You can set specific dinos to listen to group whistles, instead of all. A bit more control when using many. the "Z" button by default assigns them to a group if you have a specific group selected. So if you set it to group 2 and then hover over a few dinos and hit Z on them it assigns them to that group, hitting it again removes them.

[zinc hill]

oh shit that explains alot bc when i go to lay down i press z alot on accident

[dusky thistle]

Use your extended HUD to see which group is active or which creatures are selected. I have my hotkey for it remapped but I believe it's H by default, though youd need to check keybinds to confirm.

[sterile osprey]

its been working all day but we did a boss fight and it was over

[dusky thistle]

Does it just repeatedly crash or when doing something specific

[sterile osprey]

We were healing our rex's after a boss fight and after it crashed once it crashes over and over

[distant hearth]

so its stuck in a boot loop after one crash?

[sterile osprey]

It opens let's you get on, then crashes immediately

[dusky thistle]

Does it reload the server and crash when someone logs in?

[sterile osprey]

Some players are saying there inventors are empty and I personally get on my bird

[sterile osprey]

No just crash

[distant hearth]

hmm weird, dunno, presume u contacted nitrado an waiting on them to sort it

[sterile osprey]

Unfortunately this is a dedicated server

With nitrado couldn't even play more then 6 hours

[dusky thistle]

Hmm. After a boss fight is odd time for it to act up. Can you get on and dinowipe quickly before a crash? Maybe something is hung up in boss arena?

[distant hearth]

sry my bad i got mixed up

[dusky thistle]

Only other thing I could imagine would be a conflict with items from boss, maybe stack mod + element or deco mod + trophies/flags

[sterile osprey]

No can't even log into admin

Don't have stack mod of a deco mod

[distant hearth]

can u roll it back to the last save you took, just to see if its the server or the game save thats iffy

[dusky thistle]

Maybe try rolling it back a bit

Without error logs its very difficult to say

[rich cloak]

Tribe data has been an issue for people lately, you can try removing your tribe save file and see if it starts

the file name is xxxx.arktribe

there should be an xxxx.tribebak file in there also

[west nimbus]

It says I don’t have enough space for the mod and to uninstall other mods. But I have the SAME mods as my boyfriend and his downloaded fine and he’s on the server fine. Do I have to uninstall ALL my mods?

[rich cloak]

as long as you are an Admin, and that lets you start, you may need to force take the tribe assest back

[sterile osprey]

how would I do that

ok wait I have a crash log it moved it into a new folder for some reason

[dusky thistle]

there are backup .ark files in the save directory. Close server. Rename TheIsland_WP.ark to .arkbackup and rename one of the backups to the current file name

[sterile osprey]

Dont see any besides the one

[rich cloak]

From everything being discussed across multiple Discord servers and MODs for Console, no one has a definitive answer to the problem

[languid plank]

Anyone every figure out a way around the inventory bug? Have a buddy that keeps crashing while opening his inventory. He is on steam

[dusky thistle]

Settings -> UI -> Disable menu transition animations

[languid plank]

Thanks I'll let him know

[distant hearth]

this dint work for me, i had to drop my graphics settings down significantly to stop it, but i am only on a 2080ti

[languid plank]

I know he has a 4070ti so hopefully it works for him.

[honest warren]

same. this is so annoying

[sterile osprey]

Does the dadeon healing glitch crash the server

[manic coral]

Anybody else unable to harvest silica pearls in a cave? I only get fiber where i am. All Pearls that are inside water in this cave i can harvest but everything that is on land i am unable to pickup. (50.1/4.6)

[west nimbus]

It’s just frustrating because it’s enough space for my bf cracking around with a ps5 rammed with games and I uninstall all my games when I’m done n reinstall when I wanna play yet I have no space to asa for mods? It’s stupid

[rich cloak]

Welcome to Early Access I guess

[sleek apex]

how would i what command needs to be altered to just increase tamed dino xp gain? dont want to affect player xp

[vagrant ledge]

What should the server FPS be sitting at with 8 people on?

[stuck crypt]

is ORP working now i stopped playing when i was getting offlined in unofficial servers when the game came out

[vagrant ledge]

working for me

[stuck crypt]

ok nice will have to check it out now and jump back in thanks

[vagrant ledge]

well the server stil has to enable it

[honest warren]

i rebooted and the space issue doesn't show anymore
still, these mods are a huge waste of time

[sleek apex]

everytime i reboot my server the settings end up looking like this in game.ini for some reason it does this for about 400 lines of code MaxNumberOfPlayersInTribe=6
AutoPvEStartTimeSeconds=0
AutoPvEStopTimeSeconds=0

How to turn OFF crossplay on my server? I.e PC only?

Thanks, already did the serverplatform one, but knew it couldn't have been it 😄

[gilded dawn]

Hey, got a question. I'm adjusting my server settings and noticed rhynio 'impregnation' only initiates ONE craving and they're coming out at level 37-47 rather than anywhere near 150 when the bronto was 150 and the female rhynio was 150.. Is there a way to fix this?

i did have my incubation rate at 20x for some reason. dropped it down to 5. Didnt change anything

[analog bridge]

What's your BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier? I'm not sure if it is the same, but this is defaulted at one, i tried 2 but it doubled the time between (I thought it would half the time between cuddles)

[gilded dawn]

0.05

[analog bridge]

I haven't seen any separate commands for the craving that rhyniognatha host gets. Do you get more than one imprint on normal baby dinos?

[gilded dawn]

havent done normal baby dinos yet

[torpid spear]

Does anyone know the breeding range of rexes? or if it can be adjusted?

[analog bridge]

See if they too get only ONE imprinting opportunity. I believe the cravings works similar and at similar rates as the imprintings

[analog bridge]

I believe you have to adjust everything the same, there is no unique to the cravings and the rhyniognatha (I believe) - Therefore you will have the same speed on all other dinos, it all goes hand in hand

[gilded dawn]

kk

[gilded dawn]

question, do you have to force feed the bronto or will it auto eat its craving?

never mind im an IDIOT

I was putting the food in the brontos inventory

im gonna go before i embarass myself more

[rigid helm]

anyones have issues with higher ping on unnoficials last two days ?

[lime pier]

anyone know how change settings in an ini file on a dedicated server?

[analog bridge]

No worries mate, I believe I did the same thing my first time 😄

[hollow robin]

yes i have a cupple servers one with mods and one without and they both are bad

[night berry]

Is their a way to setup so your server disables ORP on weekends at a select time?

[hollow robin]

anybody else having issues with the constant updating of the mods like mine took 3hr to finnish then it put me back to the server search page and when i try to join the server it just restarts

[wise kindle]

If the modder is submitting updates frequently you are gonna see this with crossplay. Until the system gets faster at approving crossplay mods you are stuck redownloading them until the 2 versions match. Not much you can do there. Im holding off on adding mods that are unfinished till they chill on updates. Once they are done messing with them, Ill add them to my maps.

[hollow robin]

ya the mods i have had and cant evin get in my own server its fucked

curseforge needs to get there shit straightened out

[wise kindle]

Its mainly the mod churn. The mods shouldnt be pushing updates every other day. They need to be testing their mods imo, instead of kicking out so many updates. Thats alot of churning for players.

[hollow robin]

right

[wise kindle]

Every 2 weeks or monthly is expected. But so many are pushing them weekly or even 2x a week. Thats crazy.

[hollow robin]

thats the thing tho the mod developers are tryn to get it so everybody can have the mods and curseforge is making it really hard due to PlayStation rn so the mod developers are putting patch after patch out to fix stuff when its not working and curse forge keep having them do this so its a mix of the to messing the entire system up

and yes the developers need to chill on the updates that are not nessacary to like adding stuff untill everything else is fixed then do the updates

[wise kindle]

Yeah I removed a couple that been doing that. Their mods arent worth that pain.

Its general crossplay, not just PlayStation. Less churn means less pain for players in the long run.

[hollow robin]

the problem is that i have is if i remove mods my community suffers and looses a crap tone of hard work and i loose players because of it so im kind of in a bind if i want to keep my players we have to struggle to get in

[hollow robin]

true

playstation was just an example lol

[dusky thistle]

I feel like a lot of it was that there's no barrier to entry for the mods and no QA along with it so a ton of people shoved out half working mods that end up causing massive issues in game just to be "first" to get one out. Even dumb issues like stack mods breaking crafting recipes because the honey doesnt work. nonsense like that.

[wise kindle]

I just put up a vote: keep the mod and feel the pain, or we remove it. Let them choose their poison.

[hollow robin]

ur right

[dusky thistle]

And balancing QoL with just being outright lazy for a lot of those mods.

[wise kindle]

Yeah im holding back on about 10 mods right now cuz of their constant churn. Ill wait for a better mod experience. My players are hella impatient but I just explain why Im waiting and they get it.

[hollow robin]

thats y b4 i add any new mods i test them on my test server first b4 i add them to the main server this way if there is any issues i dont get it in my main server also i can fully test the mod to see what works and what dont and see how much it updates

[hollow robin]

that does help

[dusky thistle]

Thats the way to do it. Nearly every "my game is broke" thread i see on reddit is because someone jammed their game full of 50 mods blindly and wondering why it bricked their save/server.

[wise kindle]

Same but I join the mod discord and track there updates and plans. If their are too many too often, I opt out. Doesnt matter how good or stable the mod is if its constantly changing.

[hollow robin]

right

[hollow robin]

ya thats y im in so many mod discords to keep an eye out on whats going on so i can let the community know

[wise kindle]

The churn got past you Im guessing.

[hollow robin]

must have today im late to the party lmfao

im also going on day 6 no sleep lol

[wise kindle]

I had to remove the dwarven builders mod a couple weeks ago cuz it looked like it wasnt gonna be left alone. So I feel you. Darn thing is huge too.

[hollow robin]

right the developers need to just let it relax 4 now until the rest of the issues relax the give new updates

get it working but dont add anything new for a bit

Hi everyone 😬. Anyone know how I can add the turkey event to my nitrado server?

[celest halo]

add the mod

[fresh python]

Hey all, server owner can't get mods to install at all. It acts like it's going to install and then just restarts. Any suggestions? PC.

[novel glacier]

after i installed the turkey trial and a few other mods after the big update the other day everything is spawning max 150 no matter what my settings are for some reason

sorry missed half of the message lets try that again

hello everyone! Wondering if anyone has seen issues with dinos spawning at different difficulty levels? I have been running with these settings for 180 max dinos since asa released on my nitrado server.

Difficulty Offset=1.5714
Override Official Difficulty=6

[distant hearth]

the trial mod likely reset the custom level you was using

[novel glacier]

i checked my ini and it seems to be correct as that is what i thought too

[distant hearth]

check in the general settins too, nitrado can weird out sometimes if the basic setting isnt set the same

[celest halo]

is extra life bonus rates enabled

[distant hearth]

p.s u might need to switch it back to basic view to check that

[novel glacier]

so the difficulty offset on the general tab still says 6 and the extra life event is disabled. i even removed all mods that affect dino spawning and restarted the server and ran destroy all wild dinos command and still spawning at difficulty 5

[celest halo]

is MaxDifficulty set to false

[novel glacier]

enable max difficulty is checked on the general screen

[celest halo]

MaxDifficulty makes them 150 max

[novel glacier]

interesting i will try that and let you know

thanks so much

[celest halo]

and MaxDifficulty being true over rides OverrideOfficialDifficult setting

[novel glacier]

thanks again ill stop back in a few and tell you how amazing you are once i test it lol

it seems to have worked. thank you so much for the help! it is truly appreciated

[zenith bloom]

Couple questions…Looking to set my private server from PvE to PvP but I’d like to disable friendly fire between tribe members and allies. Is this possible? Secondly, the reason for wanting this switch is so I can use a creature to kill hatched babies that haven’t been claimed yet…has anyone found a solution to be able to kill unclaimed Dinos with tamed creatures without just open free for all of pvp?

[quiet trellis]

if you are able to use a mod, I'm using dino potion. It is a mod that just adds a dino kill potion, they cost 1 fiber to craft, the mod is super light and crossplay. As for your question, yes it is possible to change to pvp and disable friendly fire

[wise kindle]

Elemental damage kills babies on pve. Wyvern fire, mana breath etc. There is also a dino death potion that does this. Also Pelayoris cryopod kill gun takes them down to 1 hp. Pretty easy to dispatch. Theres a couple ways to kill babies on pve.

[zenith bloom]

The potion mod would require access to their inventories though right? Aka I’d have to tame all of them?

[quiet trellis]

Yes

[zenith bloom]

I’m trying to be able to hatch 50-60 eggs, snag 1-2 mutations, and dispatch of the rest of them without individually taming all of them

[quiet trellis]

I mean if you are the admin and are just playing for fun on "PvE" just spawn a blink rifle, change to destroy and go around shooting lol

[zenith bloom]

I am the admin but don’t go into admin mode without need to lol

What I’m looking for may not exist…isnt there a mod that has a euthanize gun or something like that?

[quiet trellis]

You just need to go into admin to spawn the blink rifle, then you can go back. The cryo mod has the neuter gun that also allows to kill, but I'd assume you need to tame first as well

[vernal hamlet]

anyone know how i fix chat? i am playing on steam on a private server with xbox crossplay and when an xbox player types all i see are asterisks

[jolly cedar]

filter? or xbox's profanity filter

[vernal hamlet]

they can see my chat as far as i can tell

[olive talon]

The ingame filter that you're supposed to be able to change on unofficials, I just don't know how or if it even works. I sent them here for help

[zenith bloom]

Does disabling friendly fire work on pvp servers? And what all does it disable specifically? I’d assume you cannot damage tames or people in your tribe? What about structures of your tribe, and creatures, people, and structures of allied tribes?

[hollow robin]

ok so this is weird i have a player that has used some mod stuff and built with it yesterday when they logged in today it was all gone i went to check it was all still there he just cant see it and they cant see the engram or anything, other players can see his build and they have the engram does anybody know whats going on

[meager tide]

My server did a daily restart and has started through nitrado but isn’t in server list.

[vivid spindle]

how do you cluster two servers on ark asa ?

@plush crystal

@bleak ivy

[meager tide]

I’m pretty sure you can’t cluster at the moment.

[vivid spindle]

thats weird, then why do we have transmitters ?

[wise kindle]

Have him remove the mod and restart his Xbox, then reinstall it.

[wise kindle]

So you can start bossfights from your base.

[vivid spindle]

so we cant cluster yet ?

[wise kindle]

Not yet, its not a feature atm.

[craggy mist]

anyone here that can jog a response out of the nitrado discord? we've had DOZENS of servers get stuck with an unfixable server restart loop today, and there are tons of unanswered tickets and posts, yet there hasn't been any announcement, discord conversation from any admins or nitrado staff, or even a single sentence that even acknowledges that they are aware of the problem that is keeping hundreds of players from playing on the servers that they paid to rent from the only server host that is allowed to sell them.

[viscid estuary]

Pelayori's cryopods

[hollow robin]

ty

[hollow robin]

we have had to force stop servers and start them over

[craggy mist]

we've tried that, and rolling back the server, nothing seems to work. seems to be the case for a lot of other servers too. some have completely reinstalled the service and still are stuck in the same loop.

[sly void]

Anyone help? I can't get the message of the day to work. I tried adding "Message=whatever my message is" within gameusersettings.ini but it doesn't show up

[hollow robin]

its bugy sometimes mine works sometimes it dont

[hollow robin]

did u add a daily restart setting if so take it off compleaty thats all messed up people that add that get a restart loop

i had that problem and once i took that off and force stopped the server it started right up no problem

[sly void]

there's not another setting I need to enable?

[hollow robin]

no u just have to manually restart the server once a day thats all i do and its fine

get rid of that daily restart that u have and force stop the server u should b all good

[peak sapphire]

Automated tasks aren’t the cause of the issue but the hardware itself. It’s easily resolved on Nitrado’s end that usually results in transferring over to different hardware. You manually restarting your server can cause a restart loop just the same as the automated task. I had this issue on ASE then transferred hardware and been fine since. Hasn’t happened on my ASA server yet and that’s been auto-restarting since ASA launched on Xbox.

[sly void]

i'm hosting a dedi on my personal PC

[peak sapphire]

MOTD needs to be in its own section within the gameusersettings:

[MessageOfTheDay]
Message=text
Duration=seconds

[sly void]

That did it! I tried that before, but the server overrided the ini file when I restarted. Had to shut it down, edit the file, and then start up

Thank you so much!

[peak sapphire]

No problem at all 🙂

[sour light]

Hi I need help

[rich cloak]

The URL embeded in that looks suspicious

Thank you

[gentle flower]

What mods are a must have and what mods are not ?

[frigid vine]

Another question:
the planned incoming cryopods in december: will be built-in in the core files or again via mod?

[olive talon]

The cryopods will most likely be added to vanilla, instead of a mod, but we won't know until more info is given.

[frigid vine]

Thanks for the quick reply. I hope also for the first one (built-in vanilla / core files). 👍

[solemn zephyr]

Not been my experience at all.

I have scheduled daily restarts, some maps modded, some not. Zero restart loop issues since week 1 when there was tribe corruption.

Most common things causing restart loops right now are players breeding tek paras, and dino mods.

[austere rune]

is the Crafting stat broken? my players are finding they get garbage benefit from fully investing in Crafting...

[empty comet]

Keep in mind right now the Blueprints (and items) can be over the "official cap" (dunno if that's changeable in inis), so it's not impossible that a super-high BP ends up simply crafting the capped item.

I'm unsure how this affects Unofficial, but on official it gets clamped back to normals caps on server restarts.

[austere rune]

i don't think so because we're able to spawn in higher armor pieces with the Shop plugin, which seems to be limited by the cap

[empty comet]

Yeah but if the mod follows the official cap properly (unlike the game itself 🤣 ...) It might work properly. Unless you're implying you're building properly clamped (mod-capped) items and not getting the expected results.

[amber veldt]

Hey does ascension always makes you lose your kit you at the end in ASA? Playing on an unofficial and instead of getting the download your char screen we got the respawn screen and lost all items. Does anyone else have this issue or is there a fix server side adjustment that can be made?

[austere rune]

nah they're building vanilla items from vanilla blueprints. just seems mindwiping to Crafting is either truly awful when doing actual crafting rolls or is glitched... the highest item he got out of an 89 BP was 100...

[empty comet]

Well, keep in mind our max level is 135 again instead of like 205 or something. It also depends on what's being build (ie: Carbo saddle have lower ratings then, say a raptor saddle). But all in all I can't say since we're waiing on having a bunch of BPs before mindwiping on my server :p

[solemn zephyr]

If the server has uploads and downloads off ( as they should to prevent single player transfers) then you get the respawn as if dead instead of being uploaded.

But your stuff in your dinos before completion is the work around.

[amber veldt]

Can shoulder pets be brought in? We did it w shotguns and tek suit

[full oak]

Can PS5 players play together with PC players on an unofficial dedicated server which is not hosted by Nitrado?

[empty comet]

Should be, you can bypass most of the cave with the Archeopteryx, if that's allowed I don't see why they'd prevent others.

[amber veldt]

Yeah noticed most games are allowed in but when you tp to boss fight don’t think everything gets tpd

[empty comet]

Oh going out. Dunno why that wouldn't work, never looked into that tho.

🤔 I'm wondering if that's when the 50 limit applies, because you can bring in more than 50 in the cave...

[dusky thistle]

They are. I did shotgun method with micro on my shoulder to dump gear in after and worked fine.

[humble thicket]

what do i do if my mate is having where his series s every time it loads in he get kicked to home screen and he keeps getting kicked and are pal can join are server fine on the new xbox?

[languid plank]

This worked, thanks a lot.

[flint pecan]

Everytime i stop my nitrado server and restart it it gets set back a bit. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[unborn jetty]

has anyone had players ask about damage increase in cave creatures and boss's ive had people saying they are boosted yet i left all creature damage multipliers default

[wise kindle]

Players always say that about caves tbh.

[unborn jetty]

is it even possible to change those settings using ini?

cause i dont see a cavecreaturedamage multiplier or anything like that just the cavedamage one for structures

[wise kindle]

Nah you would have to buff or nerf each creature individually. Would be a huge pain.

[unborn jetty]

thats what i was thinking

[wise kindle]

Caves are late game and require bred imprinted tames, med brews, shotguns and other preparations. They arent meant to be easy. If they aren’t preparing well, I wouldnt be touching your settings.

Some of the island caves are difficult and some players cant deal with it. Tell ppl to go in groups and be prepared. The caves are no sweat if you go in ready for them.

[dusky thistle]

For harder caves they’re just far higher level so boosted by proxy. They’re not boosted otherwise. Boss is changed by server difficulty setting but that’s about it.

[dry vessel]

Does anyone know if its possible to make the Liopmeurodon a permanent tame? Even without the boost. Or would lure it in a trap without taming work? Thanks

[wise kindle]

There is a mod for that.

Timeless Liopleurodon
By Findire

[dry vessel]

And without a mod? Its for my unofficial server and i don't want to prevent epic games players to join

[wise kindle]

Not possible unfortunately.

[dry vessel]

Thanks for the info 👍 even the wild one disappear if i dont tame it but keep it in a trap?

[wise kindle]

It has a hard coded timer to go poof. Nothing you do can change that.

[dry vessel]

Ah man, that sucks. Thanks for the help

[pliant ocean]

has anyone been able to get custom player levels to work on their server?

[past cloak]

I have looked and looked but haven't seen anything mentioned, but I was wondering why no one is discussing or looking into the mods constantly needing updated on xbox. We are trying our best to keep our player base but lose players every day due to frustration because they want mods but they have to update then anytime they relog or loose connection which can take up to an hour or more. This is a huge issue and I don't see anyone addressing it.

[brittle umbra]

hello can pls someone help me

[wise kindle]

If you are using mods where the modder has chosen to submit changes frequently then you are going to see constant churn with your mods like this.

Best to hold back on mods that are in heavy WIP or even moderate WIP in some cases, or you are going to be constantly redownloading it. @past cloak

Its not a matter of addressing it, its just self moderation. Dont use them if they arent finished.

[dusky thistle]

They just don't atm. No matter what you set it its hardcapped at 135. Even if it shows you have 300 levels to spend, it stops there.

[past cloak]

I figured as much. We deleted alot of mods we previously had and slowly added some back in. However the same few mods will need updated every re log. It's as if the update doesn't save or something.

[brittle umbra]

why have some guys pve modus

[pliant ocean]

IDK if it works on xbox but on PC when you join the server, if you click cancel on the mod list that pops up and then hit the join button it will skip that

[brittle umbra]

on a pvp server

[wise kindle]

What happens is:

There are 2 version of the mod, server and client.

The modder shoots out an update, it gets approved for client first. Everyone downloads it.
The server version doesnt get updated for several days. As a result, the game wants you to run the newest version, so it makes you upgrade the client... then when it goes to get on the server, its says OH you are on the wrong version and makes you download the old version again.

So you download it twice till the server version is finally updated.

Its buckets of fun.

Morale of the story, be very careful what mods you use right now. If they are being constantly updated, dont use them yet. Wait till they are out of WIP.

[brittle umbra]

pls help

[dusky thistle]

What?

[past cloak]

I'll let the server owner know. It just sucks because I'm sure most of the mods are still in wip or whatever. But in order to attract players they want all the cool new shiny mods

[wise kindle]

A good portion are and will be for a very long time. If people would like to run these WIP mods, tell them single player is their option but for now, you cannot add mods that are in constant flux as it just creates an unstable server environment.

[brittle umbra]

why have some guys pve mode on her base but the server is pvp

[dusky thistle]

Im sure they'll recover faster from having to play the game a little bit than having all of their stuff deleted every few days.

[wise kindle]

Likely a mod, you should really be asking this in your server discord. They can answer these questions much better than us.

[dusky thistle]

idk what pve mode is? If its an ORP server then they cant be attacked offline. But you can't have PVE mode on just one base.

[brittle umbra]

ah ok

but were i find my discord for my server

[past cloak]

Appreciate the insight guys. We have been feeling very conflicted over here

[brittle umbra]

?

u know were i find the dc from my server

[dusky thistle]

You have to ask in the server. Whoever owns whatever server it is.

If they even have one

[brittle umbra]

ah ok thanks

[wise kindle]

Be strong and patient lol. Thats all you can do right now.

[languid forge]

Running a PvE Server via Steamcmd, Is there a way to prevent all damage to strustures and Tames from wild creatures while offline? I am seeing options for PvP, but not finding PvE options.

[dry vessel]

If you mean custom max player level, on ase, yes i do, aswell as the custom leveling curve

[wise kindle]

ORP does work on PVE, just turn that on. PreventOfflinePVP=True

[languid forge]

Wiki says that ?PreventOfflinePvP=true is in the Command line. So does this mean that I have to add to the .bat files?

[wise kindle]

you can use it there or add it to your ini files

[languid forge]

add to the game.ini or Gamesuersetting.ini?

[wise kindle]

GUS.ini

[languid forge]

Thank you

[flint oasis]

Anyone have a fix for the overspawning in the caves? It is really bad in the water caves we can't even get inside without getting level 300 alphas plus the 50 something megalodons with alpha boost to top it off .... Thanks

[gray garnet]

Has anyone else experienced your game crashing on ps5 everytime you try to level up or use an engram? its made the game unplayable for me :/

[dusky thistle]

Go slower, use a xbow to pull them out a few at a time.

[flint oasis]

I am looking more for I don't know... A server setting for possibly no more overspawning? No more 4-5 alpha spawns in caves with over 100 alpha boosted megalodons on top of each other? Possibly?

[royal drum]

How can I increase memory limit for mods on PS5? Wtf they limit it to 3gb

[wise kindle]

I dont think you have that power. Its something between Sony and WC to work out. They did manage to get Xbox to raise the limit to 5gigs, so I expect them to raise this with PS as well. It is limiting alot of gameplay right now.
There are several mods I cant add to my cluster right now as it will exclude my PS5 players from getting on our maps. So its a problem they are aware of.

[dusky thistle]

Thre isnt one

[dusky thistle]

You can test-pilot this and see if it helps. Places a limit on megalodons to 50% of the capacity. No guarantees but cant be worse than what you're dealing with.
Goes in game.ini

[flint oasis]

Woah thanks ... I will use this as a last resort thing since it is an addition to the Game.ini I was hoping my settings were just wrong lol I prefer not to add too much to the files. I will if I absolutely need to though 🙂 I appreciate the help ... sorry if I got snarky with ya I just wish WC would fix it prior to making us spend time and money. I have never had such a love/hate relationship with a game before 😄 I also don't want it to change across the map. Which I believe this would do. I am enjoying the other challenges just not it killing my dinos in the caves (underwater) for no reason. The bugs are insane in the bug cave too lol I think it is a cave overspawn issue with the game itself for some of the private servers.

[dusky thistle]

This only changes the spawn entry for that specific cave, nowhere else and all it really does it put a limit on the sharks. The rest is what the default data was anyway.

Just didnt wanna leave that data out and risk it nixing the other creatures by mistake.

[flint oasis]

Oh cool thanks 🙂 Ahh Yeah I see where it was cave lol is that for both underwaters or one of them? So much here my eyes are crossing reading it lmao

[dusky thistle]

Nah thats specific to west cave. East cave has its own entry since it doesnt have mosas and does have dunkies.

It's also not nearly as bad about the overspawn by default

[flint oasis]

We went into East cave with 3 very good not mutated but good Mosas fully imprinted and leveled... 150+ armored saddles and all three of us got bled out and killed within 2 mins roughly? The amount of dinos pinned us against the walls... its rough on my server lol

[dusky thistle]

Mosas attack range is BS for a cave, theyre far to chunky and easy to get pinned with their aircraft carrier size turning radius. Truthfully with West cave I would leave basi back and hop up onto the very shallow/shoreline sections or grapple the ceiling and shotgun the alphas to death and whatever else was loitering around.

[vagrant ledge]

Anyone know where to look when my server starts crashing randomly during the day? started yesterday

Server FPS jumping around at 15-20 with only 5 online

[dusky thistle]

If its around certain time of day with certain people on, i'd find out what theyre doing. If theyre overwhelming it somehow. Either with mass hatching or something. Depends on what your rates are too, a guy in here yesterday was crashing his own server because he had gathering so high it was overwhelming the server.

[vagrant ledge]

Our rates are pretty low just a bit over standard, but thing is it can crash after just a few min or hours

[dusky thistle]

Mods? Could be something trying to load that only gets opened/rendered every now and then. Hard to say without knowing even remotely what is happening beforehand. Would need to hit up whoever is on at the time and ask what they were doing just before crash, whether its a corrupted dino spawn somewhere or corrupted item in an inventory.

[languid forge]

I added bAllowUnlimitedRespecs=true to my game.ini file as Wiki states but doesn't seem to be working

[distant hearth]

pretty sure that goes in gameuser.ini

[vagrant ledge]

Got a few mods yes but nothing crazy, and I check yesterday what people were doing and even when everyone was just standing about doing nothing in their bases it crashed shortly after starting it again. Seems to be somewhat stable atm

[distant hearth]

nvm ignore me , i was wrong

[vagrant ledge]

But yeah will start removing a mod each time it crashes if it does again

[distant hearth]

if you already have a cooldown , it probably wont take effect till that cooldown ended

[vagrant ledge]

random thing but try with a big T in True, legit seen that being the case for some people

[dusky thistle]

The usual culprits atm are cryopod mods and stacking ones, but both have risks for removing as well. Maybe also try a token dino wipe to make sure there isnt a spawner thats gotten broken along the way. It shouldn't but wont hurt to try.

[vagrant ledge]

Yeah might check on our cry mod we have, and I have been doing daily dino wipes

[languid forge]

Anyway to fix the cooldown now?

[distant hearth]

ive never known the capitals to make any diffence in any of the ini codes, maybe just got lucky

[dusky thistle]

If they've respecced then no, you have to wait it out.

[languid forge]

Any admin commands to reset stats before timer?

[dusky thistle]

Nope

Not that I've ever found anyway. Could maybe maybe try SetStatsOnTarget and see what it does on a person

[distant hearth]

out of curiosity would speeding the game world up- work? i suspect not

[dusky thistle]

But 100% no idea if it works on pepople

[dusky thistle]

Technically it would but the max speedup is 10x but if they idled for 2.4 hours

[manic sail]

How do i trigger the turkey trials on my nitrado server?

[dusky thistle]

install the mod

[distant hearth]

add is a mod in the curseforge part lik eany other mod

[manic sail]

thats weird

so after can i delete the mod and it wont fuck up my data?

[dusky thistle]

yea

mod just enables the crafting recipes and lets turkeys spawn, everything relating to items is in core game code already

[distant hearth]

@dusky thistle better than 24h i guess, or just roll back to before you took it haha, never had the issue as always tested servers before i let people on them

[manic sail]

cheers

[languid wave]

Hi all, been looking online but unable to find information. If I started a non dedicated server on ps5 to play with my brother with tether option. If we enjoyed it and decided to pay for a server, would we then be able to take those saves to a nitrado server or would we need to start again.

[dusky thistle]

For PS5 probably start again, I dont believe you can access the files needed to copy over to a ded server.

[rustic spire]

Hey I’m on ps5 and my game is showing I only have 4gb worth of storage when I am supposed to have 10gb

Of mod storage I mean

[frigid vine]

Hardware Specs?

[vagrant ledge]

just moved everything over to a new system so Im not entirely sure what the specs are just know its an epyc cpu and around 100gb ram

[formal acorn]

Hi all i face issue with my nitrado server ( Egg hatch speed ) even i change the setting to 10x it stay to 1x any one can help ?

[dry wren]

Hey I have not been able to see my server for 3 days now since the update dose anyone know how to fix it

[distant hill]

i can see my server its just unplayable sense the update

i know thats not what ur asking but was saying your not the only one with the problem had that ealier

[dry wren]

Ik I just wanna fix it and nitrado seem to not wanna help

[distant hill]

yup same here bud been waiting sense the stupid update for it to be fixed and they dont even got a support page

[vagrant ledge]

to get around a bug where you aren't seeing servers on Xbox, exit out of the Join Session list, re-enter it and then disable the "Xbox-Only Multiplayer" button. Be sure to hit refresh!

[ripe yoke]

Be sure to wipe wild dinos to encourage turkey spawns

[frigid vine]

sounds like cloud/VPS?

[bold cairn]

Hey everyone. I just setup a dedicated today on steam and it runs fine on my ps5, but my friend can't join? Does he need to port forward too?

[vagrant ledge]

No friend of mine got the hardware at his office

[gloomy belfry]

If you can connect while on your own network but other users from other networks can't. It's most likely on your end as far as setting up and port forwarding the proper ports.

[native oxide]

is their a way to check for dino spawns with a command to check if any are spawned on the map

[wise kindle]

on pc, doesnt work on console

When you open your command line and hit the button twice, nothing shows up?

theres a huge list there

[wise crypt]

Is there something wrong with Nitrado right now?

I can't access serwer on web

[formal acorn]

my server configuration not apply to my server
example egg hatch 10x it stay 1x 😛
4 hours now with this iissue not solved yet

[buoyant copper]

anyone who know how i can make cutom drops

[gloomy belfry]

Yea but it's a pain in the butt

[jagged basalt]

If you get Beacon, it’s a breeze

[gloomy belfry]

Hmm dm me

Yea I suppose you could do that

It's a pain either way. I prefer the type it out myself way but yea you can use beacon and do it that way.

[hearty wedge]

How are you configuring it? If it's via an .ini change, you have to shut down the server, make the change, then start again. It'll overwrite any change you make while it's running as soon as it shuts down and it doesn't apply until it reloads. No clue about hosted servers but I assume they work the same way in that regard.

[formal acorn]

i stop / edit / save until finish saving / then start the server

[celest halo]

selfhost or nitardo

[real dome]

Quick question. I have a breeding area set up away from my main base. I have it set so the dinos mate, the eggs incubate and get sucked into a Soul Terminal. Everything was great, but recently it seems nothing happens, unless I just sit at the base, no mating, incubating, hatching.

Is there a way to make sure that part of the map is always active if I am away doing something else? This is on ASE.

[loud comet]

is there a tether on self hosted dedicated servers?

[distant hearth]

if u use s plus, setup a hitching post an have the dinos set to wander

[distant hearth]

the new settings will only apply to new eggs if i rember rightly, so any eggs produced before setting change are still on old timers

[ripe yoke]

Non dedicated yes

[humble thicket]

Why did teleporters stop working for my players? anyone else have this issue? me and my admin can use them in gcm but players can't on my pve server, they was working fine till the last update

[gentle flower]

Anyone else has trouble shooting whit getting the server online and staying online

[livid pivot]

Is anyone else having irregularly high ping?I usually run 20-30,it's been going from 50 to 70 today

[hazy crag]

Is there a way to edit the multiplier stats of an individual dino?

[random crow]

Is there a way to see how many people are connected in steamcmd?

[cloud sorrel]

you mean a seperate hosted server then you join from a client on the same computer (or a different one) or just your playing and a friends joins your game? if a join game yes if its the dedicated versions then NO

[cloud sorrel]

are you running turkey trials? if so I think this overides custom settings

[peak moon]

Wait, the wiki says, "It is not possible to self-host a cross-platform dedicated server or a server for a platform other than Steam." is that accurate?

So even if I wanted to, I'm not able to purchase my own server hardware to run a crossplay server with my wife and son on console? God this company

[random crow]

I use an old laptop, gen 3 i5, 16GB DDR3, to run steam/steamcmd server that hosts me and friends on Xbox, and other friends on steam

[peak moon]

It runs ASA acceptably?

[random crow]

Beautifully. Search YouTube for Neddy the noodle ascended server

I tried to post a link, but this channel doesn’t accept it

[peak moon]

and to be clear, crossplay works fine on it

[random crow]

Without incident. Running turkey trial atm

[peak moon]

Great, thank you

[oblique lotus]

Anyone else having issues with timeouts on a dedicated server? Seems that when this happens a reboot of the server itself fixes it (full machine reboot, not just quitting ASA server).

[indigo spire]

is there a way to clear just trees but leave all rock nodes?

[manic coral]

Working fine here, i do reboot the asa server once a day but i dont reboot the underlaying server

[viral lance]

Can someone explain to me why the server I am already overpaying for isn't even available for me to play on? Everything was fine when I went to work 8 hours ago? Did wildcard make this mistake too or is nitrado too busy scamming us to do the thing they loaned 4milllies to do

[dim goblet]

hello, is there some codes i can use to get rid of seagulls pegos and microraptors from my ps5 nitrado server? some help would be appreciated/ thank you very much in advance.

[vagrant ledge]

There is, if I wasnt on my phone I could get them for you, but a quick google search and you should find them, its the same used in ase

[dim goblet]

i think i found it mat e

is this im pretty sure

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Pegomastax_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C")

goes into game.ini

[vagrant ledge]

Yes that the one, if you want you can remove the dodo bp and just leave it blank "" with that it will just remove them and not spawn extra dodos

[dim goblet]

oh nice thank you

[austere panther]

You could just use the Spawn Blocker mod to just stop them from spawning.

[dim goblet]

im running vanilla server. i just absolutely cant stand the mechanic of nom nom your shit so theyre gone. but thnk you for the tip. ill bear in mind if i make modded in future

[marsh elm]

If I need honey to stack in hives what code can I use and how do I set mindwipes to unlimited uses per day

[frosty dawn]

Ok so we just noticed that when we imprint babies it dosen't matter what they ask for, walk, kibble, berries etc... as long as we got up to them and press "E" they are happy. Anyone else got this issue or know how to fix it?

[dim goblet]

A baby pt ate my pickaxe for its imprint lol

[upper sluice]

😅

Pickaxe in Last slot?

[manic coral]

You are asking the right questions!

[dim goblet]

Yeah

[ruby merlin]

Which puts a pick in last slot

What kind of madman are you🤣🤣

That's a type of anarchy I'm just not up for

Anyone else notice baby dinos mostly following males but what we know about them in history it was mostly females who looked after them unless it was a heard dino

And the baby is almost always opposite sex and mate buff activated

[manic coral]

I can agree with the following mostly males, dont remember if the opposite sex is also a thing but i'll keep my eye out from now on

[dim goblet]

i put all my tools in the end slot, chute in first slot and then weapons.

[peak sapphire]

Might explain where my parachutes went ha

[late matrix]

Does anyone know if Cryopods have INI settings to limit how many fridges and cryopods players/ tribe has?

[cursive gazelle]

on what difficulty you guys play, on nitrado server? do you stick the max 150 lvl or do more?

[mint wasp]

We recently discovered players are able to download survivors, items, dinos (saved or by spawning them) within single player and from other servers, but not limited to just PvP > PvP. This means that players can upload/download from PvP > PvE and also from PvE to PvP. For now we've disabled downloading survivors, items and dinos to our servers but as you can imagine, this isn't ideal.

Has anyone been able to successfully disable single player and other server transfers to your dedicated setups for ASA? Meaning if transfers are enabled, were you able to isolated transfers to just your cluster? Looking at the wiki it shows that this isn't working for ASA, only for ASE. However, I'm curious if any of you are able to confirm that this does work with ASA? I tried -NoTransferFromFiltering and -clusterid along with -ClusterDirOverride but neither of them work.

This is a major issue and massive exploit!

cc @zealous aurora

[vagrant ledge]

Disable any downloads, dont remember the correct name but you should find them in your gus I think

[sweet bridge]

has anyone managed to run any kind of api on their server? to pull data from like player list, number of online players, discord interaction, etc? anybody using something related that could give me a hand?

[marble locust]

Anyone know how to make INSTA IMPRINT setting on singleplayer?

[robust kindle]

is there any way to enable movement speed on unofficial right now? The switches still don't do anything

[olive talon]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1000 in game.ini

[mint wasp]

Thanks, it's already disabled

[marble locust]

not gameUserSettings.ini?

[olive talon]

No.

[vagrant ledge]

Well by disable I mean set them to true, they are set to false from the start

[rich cloak]

GUS ini
[ServerSettings]
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadSurvivors=True
PreventUploadDinos=True
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=True

[mint wasp]

💯 yep, they're all set to true, so that is disabled completely for now.

noTributeDownloads=True
PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadSurvivors=True
PreventUploadDinos=True
PreventUploadItems=True
PreventUploadSurvivors=True

Unfortunately I don't see this being addressed until Scorched Earth comes out 😕

[rich cloak]

It is a Server Admins responsibility to manage the Downloads and ability to do so.

[marble locust]

still not working

[mint wasp]

Did you read my post at all? 1) I mentioned that I've already disabled those to start. 2) What I'm saying is that it's broken and the command line arguments in the wiki are not working for ASA. This is why I'm posting about it because the command line arguments do not work 3) What I'm looking to accomplish is to isolate transfers to just our cluster since the command line arguments that worked for ASE, do not work for ASA.

[rich cloak]

I have read all of the available information regarding server configuration, many command line options are depreciated or removed, the INI work as exepected and as described

Also, Clustering is not implemented yet for ASA

[mint wasp]

The INI does work yes, however this disables them completely. That's not what I'm looking for because we still want to have that ready for when additional maps come out. We want players to be able to use the supply drops / obelisks but isolate them to just our cluster.

[rich cloak]

It is simply not an option yet, welcome to Early Access

[sweet bridge]

I just had a player logging in to my server and spawning at the "black hole" that existis in the middle of the island. His other body is sleeping on his bed. Has anyone had this issue?!

[stray axle]

turkeys on my server are not spawning and i did a wild dino wipe. and the server mod is installed. anyone tips on how to find turkeys i'm flying for an hour long and did not find any turkeys.

[rich cloak]

Various people have issue with the 50/50 location, to the game engine it is 0/0 and things the engione not track go there, because they have to exist some where, the issue has been around since 2014 when PC ARK Launched

[mint wasp]

lol this would have sufficed to start with 😉 thanks

[glacial shadow]

Anyone else having issues getting a Svartalfheim server to show up on the server list?
I ran both an Island server and a Svart server on 1 dedicated box (5600x and 128 GB) for a couple weeks with no issues. I could run them individually or at the same time, with no issues. We quit playing Svart for a couple days due to the mod issues with having to download it every time you loaded in. Since Nekatus sorted that issue out, we thought we'd start up that server again. The server loads fine on the dedicated box, gets all the way to the "ticking" status with no crashes. But I cannot find it on the server list.

Did not change anything on my startup file before having this issue.
Also worth noting that my Island server still starts and runs just fine.

[sweet bridge]

Interesting. And any fix was ever found or something?

[rich cloak]

It seems to be related to performance tuning, I am sure they will be reviewing it as time passes, it is very early in the release

[sweet bridge]

Thks for the info

[rich cloak]

In the mean time, I suggest NOT trying to block the location as some persons have suggested, but rather look at the servers performance and how it can be improved

Things like setting the Harvest rates to obscene levels, people using admin fly or creative fly add to syncronization issues on a server

[queen widget]

Hey I've been trying to find out how to spawn in blueprints. Dose anyone have the command?

[olive talon]

Gfi item <quantity> <quality> <blueprint>

Gfi argentavissaddle 1 10 1

Will give you one ascendant blueprint

Or should

[queen widget]

Thank you

[olive talon]

No problem, you can look for specifics on https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki

[ruby merlin]

I had problems with turkey spawns due to additional dino mods I had installed

I removed the mods and used vanilla spawns again atm the game does not like u messing with any spawns

If you set a custom spawn for something then something will get removed from the map I don't think this is intended but an actual byproduct no one has mentioned

[olive talon]

Turkeys are working fine on ours with multiple dino mods

[ruby merlin]

Ok but are u missing anything from spawning or maybe spawning just 1 or 2 have a look around

[olive talon]

Everything is spawning fine, and has been since we activated the event.

Turkeys spawn on the beaches and the jungles.

[stray axle]

sorry but i can litterly find no turkeys in my whole world xD and already waited like 1 hour after destroy all wild dino's and i searched every beach, grassland jungles swamps and forest for 2 hours cant find that turkey anywhere. i can see the outfits in the smitty so the mod is working sort of...

[olive talon]

Are you on singleplayer

[stray axle]

unofficical dedicated server we are running ourselfs

[olive talon]

Shouldn't be any issues then, they're very small though so it's possible you're mistaking them for dodos as well.

[stray axle]

i see and killed plenty of dodo's and other dinos no turkey has been seen or eaten and i eat and kill everything i see on my flight.

[ripe yoke]

Have you tried wiping wild dinos to encourage turkeys spawns

[stray axle]

yes and i also waited 1h long for every dino to spawn again. like 3 times already XD

[winter nimbus]

I’m in the process of updating mods and then I’m going to join the same server as Mellanie so we can have two pairs of eyes searching for turkeys.
Question do ya’ll have activeevent=turkeytrial in command or only the mod?

Also any of you running the eerie dinos mod? Wonder if that might screw with spawning.

[vagrant ledge]

activeevent will active the event thats stil in the files from ASE, so you only want the mod

[rich cloak]

cheat listdinos and check the list

the results of that command will get placed in your copy buffer so you can paste to a notepad

There are 0 Tamed (0 female 0 babies) and 38 Wild (0 female 0 babies) of BlueprintGeneratedClass /TurkeyTrial/Dinos/Turkey/Turkey_Character_BP_Event.Turkey_Character_BP_Event_C in the world right now

@stray axle

delete your message so the post goes together xD

[winter nimbus]

Thanks! We removed that line and placed turkeytrial at the top of the mod list (also have eeriedinos and that apparently can also screw with the turkeys..). We now got turkeys spawning!!

[vagrant ledge]

ahhh well glad its working now 😄

[rich cloak]

"eeriedinos and that apparently can also screw with the turkeys." that would be called "Fowl Play"

[stray axle]

hahaha i'm very happy that i can eat Turkeys now ommh nomh nomh

[heady walrus]

Anyone test if removing turkey trials removes all the rewards from it yet?

[distant hearth]

a few people tested it an the only thing to go was the wishbones

[heady walrus]

Nice. Thank you.

[empty peak]

when I tested it was the wishbones and the candy that was removed

[delicate sage]

Anyone familiar with server hardware or have experience with running Ark SE servers? I am currently running 3-5 clustered servers on a 5600G 6 core. I am downgrading the server to a 3000G 2 core (lol) as I have noticed the server doesn’t seem to be overly compute dependent, but more RAM dependent. Does anyone know what the reduced number of concurrent threads will have on the server? As it is, with 5 people logged, the 5600G never exceeds 4% utilization.

[rich cloak]

ARK is dependant on Processor Speed for performance, and I would go with 3 Core rather than 2

[alpine scaffold]

Honestly, ive always ran my servers on pretty shitty hardware. As long as you have around 8GB per cluster, you should be fine.

Ran a server with like an i5 core duo and surprisingly held 10 people without stutter. Had 16 gb ram though on that machine

[delicate sage]

I assume, though, at such low utilization, the windows scheduler will optimize thread use. My thought is just to load the system up with as much RAM as I can. The server will likely never have more than 5 people concurrently.

8GB per cluster sounds about right. I notice it ramps up initially to about 8GB on some maps, then will frequently drop to about 1G.

[ebon zenith]

How do i add svartfalheim to my ark server on nitrado?

[delicate sage]

I know the processor “tick” speed or server “fps” is linked to CPU being at least 3 GHz. It’s funny, but GHz is starting to be a rather confusing classification for chips, because 3Ghz on a Intel Raptor Lake is WAAY different than 3Ghz on a Bloomfield.

Since the game was made in 2015-2017, I’d assume we’re talking 5th and 6th generation Intel 3 GHz.

[abstract grotto]

quick question, i upgraded for asa and now have a spare i7 7700k, 1070, 16gb ram pc - is that sufficient for me to run a server - just need a yay or nay really

actually reading up, guessing it is 😄

[delicate sage]

Way more than enough. You can take the GPU out, as I believe the 7700k has integrated graphics.

Yes, has Intel HD 630 graphics.

1070 is still a decent card. If you don’t have another machine to put it in, you could sell it, otherwise, it will just idle in the machine and waist electricity (10-20 watts I’d imagine)

[abstract grotto]

tyvm, good idea if not needed - ty!

[delicate sage]

I’m trying to build the most energy efficient server, thus the downgrade from the 5600g to the 3000g. 3000g is a 35 watt part with integrated graphics. Your concern with the 7700k is with the power consumption, but as long as it’s not under full load, I don’t think it’ll be using 130 watts.

[abstract grotto]

yeah i guess it all adds up over time, something i hadn't considered, might even be worth selling that system and going for something more handpicked for the job

[delicate sage]

I have an i7 920 I’m almost tempted to use, but the RAM on that machine is finicky (it uses Triple channel) and I’d be hard pressed to upgrade it to 32gb.

And it likes to run too hot for my tastes.

[manic pine]

is there a console command or some other way to display the server side tickrate/fps?

[frigid badger]

Is there some way to set up a cluster without opening transfers on ASA? We opened transfers and had someone transfer in with admin abilities and spawn in an overseer...

[sly geyser]

Looking to host a cluster on ASA would this mini run it . Only expect about 5 people to play at a time.

Minis Forum EliteMini HX90 mini PC

Ryzen 9 5900hx 8 core 16 thread CPU
32gb 3200Mhz ram (dual channel)
128gb m.2 SSD
Windows 11 Home
Expansion slot for 2.5" SSD or HDD

[steady snow]

“setcheatplayer true” should show server fps. False to turn it off.

[harsh forge]

client update, no server update. Yay!

[crisp maple]

Is anyone able to help me understand exactly how to hide certain engrams from players?

[icy path]

far too small of a hard drive. CPU and RAM should be good

[sly geyser]

Yeah I seen that. I'm just trying to stay away from that rabbit hole of building one. Cause I'll go overboard lol

[alpine scaffold]

If you are setting up ASE, use Ark Server Manager as it creates an ini file for you to configure this. I cannot say the same for ASA :/

[crisp maple]

Ah yeah we are on ASA.

[alpine scaffold]

You have a great chance that it uses the same ini file for this. Maybe id look up how to do that manually online or download and configure this portion in ASM first then manually copy/paste the ini file over to ASA's folder.

[alpine scaffold]

Make sure you set a Cluster ID (somewhere in the Game.ini I believe) and set it to a random high number value and make sure all servers in your cluster is set to the same number, and never give this out to anyone.

[distant hearth]

clusters arent availbe for asa yet

[crisp maple]

Which INI file would it be and how can I find the names/IDs for engrams that are part of a mod?

[distant hearth]

@crisp maple u wud need to go to the mod authors discord to find that information if its not on the mod description page

[manic pine]

thank you - is there any way to do something similar from the server console or via rcon that wouldn't require me logging in as a player?

[crisp maple]

I've been looking on their Discord but it doesn't seem to be listed and the author is saying they don't have time to help me and I'm not even sure what I'm looking for ._.

[distant hearth]

onlt the authour will know what the spawn code are if there not listed on the discord , sounds like a shity mod to me tbh. I might be wrong but , its simple info most authors post

[icy path]

anyone else having issues seeing their server? Mine worked this morning but since my client updated I can't seem to join. Still shows as running on the host machine though

[distant hearth]

theres always issues just after an update, servers take longer to update than clients

[gleaming ocean]

Server update isn't out yet

[modern finch]

lookin into this not showing up thing with my server too, i see a trend in the unofficials, the only ones i can see are not using mods.

[quiet trellis]

Did Nitrado release the update yet?

[distant hearth]

it typically takes nitrado 30 mins -2hrs to update, on ase . so id expect the same on asa

once had to wait 8 hrs, but they blamed wc for not releasing it to them

[gleaming ocean]

I'm waiting on the Steam dedicated server to update. Took about an hour last time, so hopefully any time now.

[fossil sparrow]

Unfortunately, when major client updates occur before the "public" repo on steamdb, all Unofficial servers go away.

[quiet trellis]

Nitrado at least for me they are 3-4 updates behind when they release something lol

[violet tide]

The thing is, I see plenty of unofficial servers using 32.17, which is what my server is using, and it's not showing upit's not showing any servers w/ mods

[gleaming ocean]

32.21 is the new one

[distant hearth]

it takes time for them to roll it out across like what 40k servers, might even be more now

[violet tide]

yes i know, what I'm saying is, we aren't not seeing the server because it hasn't been updated, because we're seeing old version servers still. there's something else going on

it seems like servers with mods aren't showing up for some reason

[modern finch]

i restarted my alt server and it now shows up on the list but it says no mods, when i join everything looks to be okay and modded

[violet tide]

i'll try restarting again i guess

[modern finch]

it seems like it took longer then normal to show up tho

[distant hearth]

some major updates break mods, then the server wont work etc etc, til the mod is updated, more mods = more headaches when updates come . in my experience

[fossil sparrow]

The update mentioned something about "Server Listing Refactor". I s'pose that could cause the indexing for the server list to be a bit wonky for a while.

[violet tide]

yea possibly

[fossil sparrow]

... once we can upgrade our Unofficial servers.

[granite crystal]

how to turn off a server so i can update it ?

[harsh forge]

pull the power

[fossil sparrow]

On a private server, just send doexit via RCON.

[alpine scaffold]

Cut the power from your building

[eternal lake]

We need a pinned "how to RCON" tutorial.

[violet tide]

yeah it took mine a very long time to show up and also shows that it's not using mods

[spring echo]

"A new update will be installed now" -> Nitrado. Hopefully it's not a mod...

[real dome]

Is there a command to kill all unclaimed Dinos. My breeding got out of hand, and I cant even move when i get on the server

[willow crystal]

since the update earlier there seem to be problems finding servers? i have two online, there are players on both, but when i search for them in the ark browser i only find one of them, even if i activate password protected (which both maps are not) the same hit appears, what's going on?

[eternal crater]

Yeah there is one, you have to have cross hairs over an unclaimed dino and it's something like destroytribedinos

Make sure to save 1st

[fossil sparrow]

In theory, DestroyTribeDinos while looking at an unclaimed dino will destroy all unclaimed dinos. They're considered their own tribe.

[real dome]

Thank you

[eternal crater]

See #ark-survival-ascended

[willow crystal]

what do i see there? dozens of people are writing, where exactly is there any information as to whether the whole thing is due to the patch or something else?

[fathom bobcat]

Why can't mod servers be shown in the list?

[raven wigeon]

hello guys, my server has 2 mods but it shows on the server list has if it has no mods at all!!!! Any1 having thus issue??

[quiet trellis]

Did it update for you?

[spring echo]

Noooooope. Likely some addon.

[hot wolf]

broken for me aswell

[silent robin]

Most recent steam update for ASA now makes it to where cannot find unofficial server, already done steam.cmd update command, verified, restarted still not showing up on server list. Was literally just on it and had to quit game, went back on and saw an update and now cant find server. Anyone know what to do?

[spring echo]

Nitrado inconsistently shows this list:

Current map TheIsland_WP
Version 32.17

Sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't......

[raven wigeon]

@hot wolf yeah but i have the mods on the server , just checked and the betterfeeedings are there

[hot wolf]

my server wont even show in the list atm, did show 2 mins ago. but the game chrashed when i tried joining

[silent robin]

that's where I'm at, steam updated the game and now cant find server after 5 attempts

[distant hearth]

£50 says that in a couple hours time theres an influx of people, my server wont restart, just keeps restarting what do we do,
Welcome to ark updates evryone:)

[modern finch]

the public depot in steamdb has not updated yet

[alpine scaffold]

Upon a server restart, it wont be posted right away but take a minute. Especially after the turkey trial update I noticed this.

[sweet bridge]

is it just me or with the new update the servers passwords get saved?

[fluid arch]

So lemme get this straight. Events are now going to be "mods" that will require manual server admin config every time? (referencing the mod ID in startup params)?

How is this better than events being automatically released with no need of server admins to manually enable something whenever wildcard decides to drop an event?

[spring echo]

No idea. My server still hasn't got the update from the looks of it.

[modern finch]

i know right, its massively different then the old why when you had to restart the server and add this line to the launch -ActiveEvent=TurkeyTrial

[sweet bridge]

So... you'd rather have events start automatically on your server without you having a say-so?

[olive talon]

Plus if the event is a mod, you can add multiple at once and have year round events

[rotund moon]

Is there a way to check that (or even get notified) without trying to update the server?

[olive talon]

Have it pinned in this channel

[modern finch]

ill send you the link im refreshing

[wise kindle]

I like the option of Christmas in July. Call me crazy idc.

[olive talon]

Me too

[olive talon]

I wasnt meaning for you to send me the link. It is already pinned here. I was replying to SnowDragon.

[fluid arch]

I've never had to add a line in ASE for an event.

[fluid arch]

I think that's pretty clear in my initial comment for pretty obvious reasons. Events are NOT mods and yes I'd like to be on vacation and not prevent players from being able to start an event until I add some flag manually.

If the impetus behind adding this as a "mod" is to allow server admins to take manual control (presumably to skip events) then allow us to choose auto vs manual.

[lone lodge]

Ok, So I have updated but it doesnt update my server, I show 32.17 as well. However, I can see it in battlemetrics and can use Tilde and url to open the server and enter it. However it does not appear on the Ark Ascended Server list.

[wise kindle]

There is a client side update. Till you get that, you wont see your server.

[spring echo]

My client is v32.19, but server is still v32.17 and I can see and connect. Idk if this is just a Nitrado thing tho.

[unborn jetty]

that normally means something corrupted

[distant hearth]

yea , all fun an games, then the 2-3 day wait from nitrado support if u dont know workarounds

[wise kindle]

yeah I've heard it both ways. Some can see them some cant.

[alpine scaffold]

Nitrado might of either have not enough bandwidth to start the update process or the Steam DB hasnt received the update.

[unborn jetty]

steam hasnt received it

[spring echo]

Or it's just Nitrado doing Nitrado things 😐

[distant hearth]

i thinks its wc this time, since neither steam cmd or nitrado can update server yet

[celest halo]

its WC doing WC things and not releasing it for unofficials yet like always

[spring echo]

I blame Nitrado anyway, merely for existing.

[unborn jetty]

im self hosted so only use steamcmd normally takes an hour or so before unofficial receive the update atleast it appears that way with "major" updates

[distant hearth]

its a joke tbh, i mean they know there going to release an update, is it so hard to give veryone a heads up so there ready - i.e steamcmd people an nitrado people . plus the dam player base , like hello more than 10 mins notice wud be nice

[rose jackal]

you should, friend have private server on his own machine

it works, he restarted serwer half an hour ago

currently playing

ofc saying about dedicated servers, not undedicated session

[chilly sable]

is this only for server setup help?

[wise kindle]

Yep

[chilly sable]

ok thanks

[distant hearth]

general server help it seems tbh

[wise kindle]

Unofficial*

[distant hearth]

this is prob the best room in the entire discord as far as decnt people an sensible responses

[chilly sable]

i just wanted someone to check my specs to see if i can run this game good enough

[wise kindle]

As a server or as a client?

[chilly sable]

idk what that means, I just want to play singleplayer if that helps?

[distant hearth]

#general or #bobs-with-probs

[chilly sable]

oh thanks ill ask there

[fathom bobcat]

Is the server list issue resolved now?

[unborn jetty]

not til we get an update for servers i dont think so

[modern finch]

i have never had an event just turn on for me, were you using official dynamic config? if so they still can set that up to do things with mods in the future your just in a beta game right now.

[modern finch]

oh whoops sorry!

[broken crater]

at least have an option to allow this. I personally wouldnt, but more options, the better

[modern finch]

we are waiting for server version 32.21 to hit the public branch so we can update our dedi servers.

[carmine cradle]

seeing some people in here saying theyre on, but we are currently unable to update to 32.21 on unofficial dedicated?

[modern finch]

if you restart your server and wait about 10 minutes, it shows up saying it doesnt have mods. it seems fine, but strange

[unborn jetty]

well i think ps5/xbox an winstore can play still but steam clients cant atm

[modern finch]

this too, my console players are uneffected

[unborn jetty]

its only cause steam client is v32.19 once we update servers to v32.21 from v32.17 they should appear on the steam clients again

obv once we get the update lol

[mint wasp]

where do to go to see what version we have on the steam client?

because I can only see one of my servers now

[broken crater]

main menu, bottom right corner

[celest halo]

i could see and connect fine to my 32.17 server with the 32.19 client

[mint wasp]

for what tab tho? Library?

[broken crater]

very first screen.

[unborn jetty]

it does seem like it will show 1 server random tho, i have 13 up lol an yeah i could connect to the 1 that would show up

[broken crater]

of game when launched

[mint wasp]

ah your talking about in the game

yep ok checking

yeah I'm on 32.19 but only the one server shows

[broken crater]

direct connect still works for me (using console and typing "open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy") but liist just isnt populating

[mint wasp]

before the update some palyers said they were able to join via the favorites that it would show there but not under unofficial but now it's not if I unfavorited it

doesn't show up in unofficial at all

[broken crater]

try to direct connect until they fix this

[distant hearth]

favorites has never ever worked for me on ase or asa

[shrewd depot]

Favorites only works for me on ASA after I've found it in unofficial, until the server gets a new update. Then it's gone again until I find it in unofficial. Even then, I have to use the same search term in Favorites I use in unofficial to actually get it to show up.

[mint wasp]

yep thats how we did it before as well, but now it's not showing anymore I'll try the direct connect but I'm curious, how long is it until we get the 32.21 update on the client?

[carmine cradle]

im not particularly savvy, how do we direct connect on asa? i used to know how to do it via steam on ase but its not the same any more

[mint wasp]

ok thanks, direct connect worked but only using my internal IP external was a no go

[carmine shoal]

New server build still not out?

[broken crater]

at the main menu, press the tild key (~) above the [TAB] key. Then type

open ipaddress:port

[vital linden]

Major version updates hide the server if the server isn't up-to-date, and SteamCMD can't get the update yet for unofficial servers. Typically, someone on an out-of-date client could still connect to an out-of-date server.

[carmine shoal]

Yep and not vice versa

[mint wasp]

curious why it takes one week?

oof

[celest halo]

this update is not even a Major its a Minor if you go by version numbers

[vital linden]

Yeah. that confuses me.

[mint wasp]

Thanks for the help, much appreciated

[hot wolf]

any way to direct connect to pw protected server?

[broken crater]

think its the same way if im not mistaken

[alpine scaffold]

This doesnt matter. WC will prevent newer clients connecting to older servers if the version release isnt compatible or creates instability.

[celest halo]

when its a major yes not a minor im on my 32.17 server with the 32.19 client

[carmine goblet]

Would a Dual Xeon 12 core 5650 @ 3.06ghz be good enough with 64gigs of ram for ASA servers or should I look for higher clock count.

[alpine scaffold]

I dont know much about CPU usage on ASA but this honestly looks overkill for one. For a cluster its perfect

[carmine goblet]

I am aiming for 2 or 3 servers when the other maps start to come out too

[alpine scaffold]

Yeah youll be just fine with that. Ran ASE on a core duo and 16GB of memory. No server lag after reaching 10 players max. Youll have plenty of wiggle room for 3 servers

[carmine cradle]

i dont seem to be able to direct connect, im hitting ` then typing open blahblahIPaddress:port but its just doing nothing

[modern finch]

Public branch was updated, you should be able to update your dedi server now everyone

[mint wasp]

If that's overkill then I def broke the bank with what I just orderd 🤣

[spring echo]

:Prayge:

[alpine scaffold]

Oh shit... tbf, its memory your should mostly be worried about. 32-64gb is something I recommend entirely. ASE was 16gb at a minimum. ASA is probably 33gb but havent gotten that far yet.

[mint wasp]

is 192 Gb enough 🤣

our PvE server runs around 18 19Gb normally so I'm not surprised

[alpine scaffold]

Jesus your CPU is gonna give out before your RAM runs out of memory

[mint wasp]

lmao got that covered with 32 cores as well my christmas present to myself lol

[peak ferry]

32.21 update is out, anyone having problems with mods not working?

They are in the start line just like before, but the server browser says there no mods and when you join the server it locks up your game

[low dew]

Wild card getting patches from epic game store again ...

[earnest thorn]

Anyone else having the issue of crossplay servers not being visible on Steam Client after update?

[peak ferry]

Im having the opposite problem, my server is showing up even when its been offline for a bit

[worthy thistle]

not just cross play all i cannot see my unoffical server at all after update

[modern finch]

update didnt help, still taking a very long time to show up one the list. still waiting to see it from starting up after the update.

[solemn zephyr]

Experienced this myself, just waiting it out at this point

[modern finch]

it was about 5 minutes from when the server is normally joinable to when i was actually able to join it. so just be patent when your starting your servers back up, its just being very slow right now

[earnest thorn]

Mine has been up at least 15min but ill keep waiting

[worthy thistle]

feel like im way past that

[earnest thorn]

More importantly xbox players can see it instantly

[modern finch]

wildcards done it again >.>

i have a personal server, not rented from nitrado, that might make a difference

[earnest thorn]

I also have a personal server

[modern finch]

guess not

[earnest thorn]

Ive also been able to test multiple steam clients at different locations as well as xbox/ps clients at different locations and no console players have the issue only steam. (No Windows PC tests avail)

[primal orchid]

unofficial server running updated from 10 minutes ago still not showing up in my client side running 32.21. self hosted steamCMD and steam client.

[earnest thorn]

I feel like this was easily avoidable with proper testing

[stuck tinsel]

no server no nitrado are not working now ?

[vital linden]

My ShooterGame.log shows [2023.12.12-22.15.37:059][ 0]ARK Version: 32.21

Can't see server in list.

[earnest thorn]

It would at least feel better to get some kind of acknowledgement that they know something is broken

[vital linden]

I have seen one other unofficial in the list with 32.21, but most of them not. The one visible as 32.21 has BattleEye disabled.

[winged pollen]

I run 2x Xeon 6154's at 3.0 Ghz base clock and after running a server since launch, I shopping for MUCH higher clocks right now.

[eternal crater]

Me

Thought it'd fix once the update pushed through but no

[earnest thorn]

I do believe its a client side bug as like i said the console players can see it right away. Also my server didnt show up on steam client with 32.17 OR 32.21 so it isnt specifically the server update it has to be client

[eternal crater]

I haven't had issues with steam client on my cross play server til this afternoon

[earnest thorn]

Same it has to be the most recent Steam Client update

[worthy thistle]

i was fine, heard feed back others couldnt see my server. closed the game, it updated, i couldnt see the server, tried to get an update for the server, wasnt one. no one can see server now.

[earnest thorn]

This is actually exactly what happened to me. Disconnected to investigate and now no one on PC including me can get back in

Xbox has no issues though

[worthy thistle]

I've announced to my survivors that i have taken the server down to prevent their breeds for starving and missing imprients while we cannot do anything, and that i'll bring it back online once I see more positive feedback here.

[distant hearth]

issues with new update it seems, lots of similar issues 😦

[rich cloak]

My server went missing after the 32.21 update also

[distant hearth]

i just get a black screen when try to join, the nitrado server hasnt updated yet 😦

[quiet trellis]

yeah don't recommend updating atm

[eternal crater]

as far as we've noticed it seems limited to modded unofficial

only servers showing up on unofficial are vanilla

[vital linden]

Yeah, I only see servers with no mods under unofficial filter.

[mint wasp]

Yep, another one for wildcard :fml:

[eternal crater]

yo try now. my modded server just showed up, says no mods but mods are still working

[earnest thorn]

How long was it up before it showed

[mint wasp]

using open <public_ip>:<game_port> will work for your players but for me internally I had to use my internal ip probably a NAT loopback thing on my router but that does work

[earnest thorn]

Im interseted to know if u can actually connect and it isnt broken

[eternal crater]

took 40 mins

[earnest thorn]

Where do you run that command at

[mint wasp]

It's a solution ya'll can provide to your players for now as work around but I personally don't like dishing out my public ip, just my 2 cents

[eternal crater]

and yeah I'm in game mods are working, but on server list it says not modded

[earnest thorn]

I had not luck with Steams internal server favorites

[mint wasp]

main menu in the game just hit "~" key

[earnest thorn]

This guy is a literal hero

[eternal crater]

yeah you can look up the server on battlemetrics and it gives you the command to enter to join along with public IP

[mint wasp]

just passing on info I was told here as well

[earnest thorn]

Goes to show we can clearly actually connect and the list itself is the issue

[odd flower]

anyone else's server not updating to 32.12?

[mint wasp]

So now we wait? @zealous aurora Don't know if you can see this but this is a big issue.

[olive pecan]

Hi guys! Is it viable to use one single game installation and use multiple instances/servers with custom save folders? 😐

[mint wasp]

yeah it's the update that screwed it up...again

[olive pecan]

I got the update a few minutes ago

[vital linden]

I tried the open command via console, but timed out and I had a prompt offering to wait, so it says waiting to join session. Hope it connects eventually.

[odd flower]

that why every server is showing no mod's?

[icy path]

that's what I have as well

[mint wasp]

Yep.. using open <public_ip>:<game_port> will work for your players but for me internally I had to use my internal ip probably a NAT loopback thing on my router but that does work

make sure to use the game port (typically 7777) and not query port (778) or steam query port (27015)

[odd flower]

see for me i cant get this mod to install keeps wanting me to install it over and over and over again

[mint wasp]

Which mod?

I had that happen many times, I fixed it usually by uninstalling the mod, and joining the server with out the mod then letting the server install it for me

Can't say it'll work every time but it has worked before, specifically with the AA mod

best bet is to just uninstall all the mods (from the MOD LIST menu) and using the open <public_ip>:<game_port> workaround for now until wildcard fixes this

[hot wolf]

anyone know how to do the open command with a password?

[odd flower]

what do you mean by this open <public_ip>:<game_port>

[mint wasp]

Try open IP:PORT?PASSWORD

Can't say that it'll work but it might?

[mint wasp]

in the main menu of ark hit the "~" key

you'll get the console at the bottom
then type in open <the_public_ip_address_for_the_server>:<the_game_port>

so it'll look like this:
open 123.45.67.89:7777

not a real IP but the port is usually 7777 for the game port

[desert roost]

and if you need the password you insert a ? between the port and the password?

[vital linden]

When the update says 'Server Listing Refactor' and 'Should now see all the available servers and filter them properly', and none of the unofficial servers with mods display, I just stare at the Early Access disclaimer and try not to break stuff. At least the community helps itself.

[mint wasp]

I can't say that will work as our servers aren't password protected and not on nitrado but it's a solution that some people have suggested online for ASE. So not sure if that'll work but I can't test it to give you a definitvie answer

[desert roost]

I tried it and it says invalid password (password is correct I checked it)

[mint wasp]

Since I can't use links in here go to Google and type in: how to use the ark console open command with a password it's the second one that comes up for me

[desert roost]

server is not on nitrado

[mint wasp]

ah ok yeah then I'm not sure but it's good that it says invalid password at least it noticed your characters

try with the ? and use a space after the port and if not try without a space and just password

[hot wolf]

get invalid password with no password attemt :p

[mint wasp]

also try maybe ?ServerPassword=xxxxxx after the port?

that's what you'd use as the command line arugment so that's just a hunch

[hot wolf]

my server came up in the browser and i tried connecting....
Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

[subtle gyro]

i cant open the console command line from the main menu

[sweet bridge]

is it only my server that shows "no mods" when there are mods installed? nitrado here

[subtle gyro]

how are yall connecting?

[mint wasp]

in the main menu of ark hit the "~" key
you'll get the console at the bottom
then type in open <the_public_ip_address_for_the_server>:<the_game_port>

if you can't get the console you'll have to possibly enable it in your game settings

forget where tho tbh

[subtle gyro]

my console is bound to the up arrow usually

[mint wasp]

ah mabye it's confilicting with something? try changing it back to "~"

[subtle gyro]

anyway its enabled, and its not working

nvm i got it

[winged pollen]

Our work around to find servers is got Favorites Tab in server browser, while in there, type name of server in search bar and it will pop-up in the list, as long as you had it favorited

[mint wasp]

that was ours too before the 32.21 update 🙂

that update borked the favorites

[desert roost]

tried with different variations and spaces. Couldn´t make it work

[mint wasp]

sorry to hear that, maybe keep trying to look on google for how to use the ark console open command with a password maybe you'll find something. Sorry can't be more help there

[desert roost]

no worries thank you anyway

I am doing that right now 😄

[mint wasp]

Gotta bounce ya'll duty calls. Hope everyone finds their way back in to ARK, good luck survivors!

[odd flower]

i am seeing some server's at 32.21

[lone lodge]

So the server update for our private servers is not available yet? I cannot yet pass 32.17

[vital linden]

My server is on 32.21. It did update.

[lone lodge]

ok ty

[vital linden]

There is an issue with PC players unable to see unofficial servers with mods in the server list. If you are on a dedicated server, you can check your ShooterGame.log to see the ARK version.

[subtle gyro]

has anyone figured out how to remote connect with a password

[hot wolf]

nope

[subtle gyro]

ive tried removing the turkey trial mod from the server and still nothing

[vital linden]

Someone above shared that you can launch ARK, and open the console with the tilde key, and then paste your server IP address and game port into the open command (for example, "open "12.34.567.890:1234") and hit Enter to try and join the server, even though you can't see it.

[subtle gyro]

my server has a password

yeah now when i try to do it the game just black screeens all together

what the actual fuck

[desert roost]

same

[subtle gyro]

i am going to throw things

[vital linden]

I'm just expecting a new client update for PC. Studio Wildcard always so quiet.

[jagged coral]

How can I setup exclusive join or at least a whitelisting system for my server? It seems to be completely different in that regard to survival evolved.

[rich cloak]

That is not yet functioning for ASA

Admin list is working how ever

[plush geyser]

So the update disabled mods for unofficial? My server and other servers show up but all say no mods. My server has mods tho.

[jagged coral]

Hmm... Alright thanks.

[jagged basalt]

Client bug

[jagged coral]

Mods are working on my server with the latest update.

[lone lodge]

Yes I use the direct link often, however I have a problem maybe you can help me. I have now got the server updated to the newest version I can direct link to and init however I cannot get it to show in the server list now.

[cerulean peak]

yeh im having issues where only one of our server is showing on the unofficial list

[vital linden]

That is the issue we are waiting for Wildcard to resolve. We can't see our modded servers in the unofficial list.

[mint wasp]

Hey ya'll back for a few min and found this:

cheat Open 198.51.100.1:7777?Password123

[lone lodge]

@vital linden Thank you so much appreciate you.

[mint wasp]

perhaps try it from single player?

[plush geyser]

You are running 33.21? I see no unofficial servers with mods I’m thinking this update caused an issue for all unofficial servers running this latest version.

[mint wasp]

yeah it's borked the modded servers

[rich cloak]

32.21 is causing very widespread issues for people

[severe pawn]

check in favorites

[vital linden]

Not there.

[mint wasp]

It really is, how do we get this infront of the devs so to see this, I tried to ping Dollie but no answer

[jagged coral]

Sorry I apologise, seems it is not working.

[plush geyser]

No worries, just glad it’s not an issue unique to just my server. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

[rich cloak]

go to the Game Support catagory above and open tickets

[jagged coral]

Yes, wildcard really need to test there updates before they release them... It's stupid they release an update without testing.

[rich cloak]

There are many Official servers on 32.21 that have people logged in, that was their test

[jagged coral]

With mods?

[rich cloak]

I imagin the Turkey mod is there

[jagged coral]

I don't know why you are defending them, there is obviously an issue with unofficial servers not listing mods, this IS an issue they could've avoided by doing a more detailed test.

[plush geyser]

I show no official servers currently up that would be running mods so hopefully they are aware of the issue

[rich cloak]

Stating things I see is not defending anyone lol

[quick shell]

disabling the -mod didn't help, server still doesn't show up

[vital linden]

I submitted a bug to SurviveTheArk (link in bug-reports channel), and I see a couple other bug reports for the same issue. Hopefully, they will resolve tonight.

[subtle gyro]

i would like to point out that official servers dont show "w/mods" either despite turkey trial being a "mod"

[rich cloak]

Ya, it seems that IF and WHEN a server appears in the browser people can connect, even if the mod column says none

[subtle gyro]

one guys ive been talking to deleted the entire server except the saved folder and rebuilt it from scratch and that worked for him

i tried the same thing and that has not worked so far

[rich cloak]

I am not willing to go to that extreeme lol

[subtle gyro]

another guy ive been talking to had his server show up after about 40min of runtime so maybe it just takes forever to pop up in the list?

[plush geyser]

My server shows up but has no mods I don’t think that will solve this issue

[rich cloak]

Right now, wait and make tickets is all we can do

[subtle gyro]

im gonna just start my server and check back after awhile to see if it pops up

[rich cloak]

Ok, after a ~25 min wait, my 32.21 server just showed up, and says No Mods. I joined the server, and ALL Modded content is secure

[subtle gyro]

thats, great to hear

[sweet bridge]

For PVE server owners: does anyone have any solution to help with breeding when it comes to killing babies? I already have friendly fire on so players can claim and kill them melee one by one but this takes a long time for someone who's opening 100's of eggs a day. Anyone found any solution? is there any mod that can help with this? or maybe an "opt in pvp toggle" mod so players can turn on pvp, kill the dinos, and toggle it off maybe?

[subtle gyro]

the likely explanation for this is since this was an update to how the servers are LISTED the system could be better in some aspects but slower than others, such as recognizing a server is up

[peak ferry]

theres a dino kill potion mod we use

[subtle gyro]

shot gun to the face after it hatches works pretty well

[sweet bridge]

@peak ferry how does it work?

[peak ferry]

you feed it to a tame and it dies

so we can kill the babies with bad stats

[sweet bridge]

seems a bit better than having to kill them with weapons

[peak ferry]

we cant kill them otherwise with friendly fire off and no S+ gun

[sweet bridge]

not the optimal approach for mass killing but a small improvement

whats the name of the mod if you dont mind sharing?

[peak ferry]

"Dino kill potion"

[deep sundial]

I mean just one shotgun bullet works lol

[sweet bridge]

actually nop not really

[subtle gyro]

thats what im saying

[sweet bridge]

not sure if its because its friendly fire but no, it doesnt kill them fast nor easy

[peak ferry]

friendly fire is disabled and you cant kill unclaimed either (released ones)

[deep sundial]

I mean unless yoy don't know how to fire the gun it really does lol

[subtle gyro]

insta kills for me

[peak ferry]

Do we have a demo gun mod yet? I couldnt find one the last time i looked

[vital linden]

Starting to see "Yes" in W/MODS columns for unofficial servers. Still can't see my server yet.

[dapper hound]

The funny thing is that player on console see my server easily and are able to join

This is only a clint side problem with the PC version

[distant hearth]

its the usual update broke something an needs an update game we always have to play

the milding annoying thing, why have a test server if u aint gonna test updates

[plush geyser]

So I just brought my server back up seems like they have now fixed the issue my modded server is showing properly and is working 🙏🏿

[quick shell]

must be nice

[hot wolf]

nope

[vital linden]

Server has been up and running for almost 2.5 hours now. One of my players has been playing on it (via open command), but I still don't see it in the list. /facepalm

[quick shell]

I tried the open command too and nothing

[jade pumice]

can you specify server password in open command?

[quick shell]

allegedly? the page I found was for ASE but still just got 'invalid password'

[jade pumice]

rip ok ty

[pallid radish]

Any work around for unofficial servers not showing after the 3.21 update?

[quick shell]

not if it's password protected

[pallid radish]

Mine is not password protected

[quick shell]

then you may be able to do open IP_ADDRESS:PORT

[pallid radish]

Some players are on the server others can't see it
