unofficial-setup-help

[quartz pewter]

no you move from one complete side of the board to the other in one move.

If they want to make the bug do that ill take it

[rich cloak]

Ooo! I vote for that!

[quartz pewter]

This is a game riddled with console commands and crashes, the bug was the least of the problems to worry about sadly.

[rich cloak]

How come I can not connect to my Bug?

[quartz pewter]

battleye is literal spyware, consoles play at half frame rate, WE CANT EVEN CONNECT to our servers.

but the bug nerf came like wind. Because balance.

[olive sleet]

The solution is "don't play official", you are in the unofficial channel, you should know this

[quartz pewter]

My unofficial bug got the nerf too.

I will never play official, to much pissing in the chereos for funzies.

[copper gale]

-NoBattlEye

[quartz pewter]

oh, yea of coarse

[rich cloak]

I want to Romance my Dinos

[quartz pewter]

obviously. thats goes without saying lol

to the battle eye disable flag, not the fury talk. lmfao

[rich cloak]

I call it my "Love Bug"

[quartz pewter]

lets talk about something less controversial.

Is everyone super excited about the paid DLC stuff and the in game store coming?

[copper gale]

lol

[quartz pewter]

lol

[sinful trout]

Anyone know how to spawn capped dinos

[fading timber]

howd you know this was all i was looking forward to

i havent already bought the game twice and all DLCs to exist already lol

[copper gale]

with console cmd?

[quartz pewter]

arkids dot net

[quartz pewter]

that site has all the commands for all the items and everything, along with spawn commands

and an app for your phone.

[sinful trout]

Thank you

[quartz pewter]

your welcome.

Man can I not even wait until I have the ability to pay 19.99 for an asset from the epic games unreal market. booooy oh boy.

Imagine the ginger bread houses we will be able to build for the "holidays"

speaking of that, I wonder what time in June we will get the winter wonderland.

[copper gale]

does anyone here use IF statements for their batch file?

[quartz pewter]

I dont, but theres no reason why you cant.

[copper gale]

for the unoficial ark startup

[quartz pewter]

You can also tie into the steamdb to check for an updated build, if its there update it if its not dont.

[copper gale]

that could be fun

[raven wigeon]

lol babies are flying again

[quartz pewter]

false, i read that was fixed in the patch notes.

[copper gale]

Is there anyway to interact with the ark server console with python

[olive talon]

No need to circumvent the filter. It is pinned.

[native wave]

Yeah...had a couple of allos flying yesterday

[quartz pewter]

where is it pinned?

[raven wigeon]

well, i see loads of flying babies since last update lol

[olive talon]

In this channel.

[olive talon]

#bug-reports

[quartz pewter]

so the link to the steamdb is pinned somewhere in this channel, or are you just being vague for funzies?

[copper gale]

second pin

[olive talon]

...Click the magnifying glass, go to pins, scroll to the one that says "branch to check for unofficial patches".

[eternal crater]

Oh noo lol. Breeding was almost too painful before the patch cuz the babies would all fly

[native wave]

My base is already setup for flying babies....it's just an annoyance

[warm falcon]

So I'm looking into possibly using this Dynamic Config option for the first time ever in 8years...
Can someone perhaps explain some important dos and don'ts of how it works?
Say for example if I ommit the BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier setting from my Dynamic config, then what happens? 😮

[copper gale]

normally it should just go to the default number

[warm falcon]

Default number as in Official's default number, not my default config number. Right?

So then ommiting a value isn't an option if your default is different than Officials

[celest halo]

Then it uses default, or what's set in the normal ini file

Anything in the dynamic config file just overrides config settings

[copper gale]

To change the default config numbers you would be required to find the line of code somewhere in the ark dedicated code and that would be a hassle if you want different number than the config just change the game.ini file or the gameusersetting.ini file

[warm falcon]

I know how the "Default files" work, I'm asking how those in tandem works with the Dynamic config.
I read somewhere anything omitted from the Dynamic config when you enable it on server, uses the Official Network's defaults or something to that effect.

I already have my own default GUS.ini and Game.ini settings, I'm looking into the Dynamic to supplement the need to restart my server when-ever we want to do an event. But I don't know if I need every option possible to avoid adopting something OFficials are doing or it for some reason "using default values" that aren't in my own server's GUS.ini/Game.ini files.

[copper gale]

So if I understand correctly you wish to be able to change the .ini files without having to restart the server... right?

[warm falcon]

That is what the Dynamic Config is for

[copper gale]

didn't know that was possible... in fact with everything I know that shouldn't be possible

[warm falcon]

It's how WC does events on weekends and junk without restarting their servers

[dapper hound]

i hope someone rich with a lot of time to play ark sue em

[copper gale]

Normally the ark server should be accessing the dynamic config file constantly and you shouldn't be able to change that without shutting down the server...

[copper gale]

unfortunantly I have no idea how that works. I will try to see if I can do that

[warm falcon]

It gets it every few minutes from my understanding. On launch and again every so often looking for changes, but it's something you have to enable first which requires a restart to tell server to start checking it

[copper gale]

it's quite possible it doesn't work though because that is a ase thing... a lot of stuff from ase doesn't work with asa. Also the event is a mod they added which require a change in how you start up the game

[warm falcon]

Yes, holiday events that include items and what-not.
But EVO weekends and things like that aren't mods. And according to their wiki Dynamic configs are still a thing in ASA

[copper gale]

ah I see that makes sense

[warm falcon]

So again, I'm still just trying to figure out how to format the file and what is needed for it to work properly

[copper gale]

sent you a dm with a link try looking at that

[warm falcon]

Yeah that's where I had landed first, but it doesn't explain whether ommited values are taken from my personal server's defaults or inherited off WC's or what

[fading timber]

if that was the case, was only a guess, but i think it would be grounds

something is clearly going on tho and theyre only allowing speculatiion to run rampant by refusing to say anything

[dapper hound]

i genually belice everything you wrote above is not a theory, it is factual

[fading timber]

we wouldnt have to assume things like that if they wouldve immediately addressed it

[dapper hound]

this have changed a clientside (pc) 0 to a 1. this is suspicious enough

[warm falcon]

Oh I found it here: When you want to "undo" the config you should be changing it back to whatever your default is, so it can be read from the updated config and thus applied. Omitting any lines will not update those options.
So I guess only plugging what I intend to "change on the fly" is required 🤷‍♀️

[open ivy]

I’m still having the same issue I had all day yesterday plus having it again today “can’t retrieve address” BS

[copper gale]

from the look of it the dynamic config is a file you can overide with ?customdynamicconfigurl=<file adress>

[warm falcon]

Yes that's how to tell your server which config to use

[dapper hound]

but since we are assuming right, they just do not responde.

[fading timber]

ive lost like 90% of my players since most didnt speak english or join the discord and i have no way of telling them how to join

[warm falcon]

I'm a non-Nitrado server and folks find me just fine.
You search a server name, that's how it works now. That's what you tell your players. 😛

[fading timber]

and if i had to guess they probably ended up on nitrado servers

[dapper hound]

i feel you totally, i play these game since 20 days and they already pissed me off

[fading timber]

negative many of us are having issues, ahppy it works for you tho

[dapper hound]

most stupid comment written in this channel.

[fading timber]

ive run ark servers since we had the first ability to ever run one for ASE im well aware how this all works but thanks for your input

[warm falcon]

Just because your losing players or something? Or because you can't just input an IP into steam anymore?

[fading timber]

ive literally been in this discord for 7 years now lol

[copper gale]

same

[dapper hound]

just because you just written to search our server names, are you trolling or what?

[fading timber]

one instance of it working doesnt mean anything when many others are having issues

[copper gale]

in other words you can't find your server?

[warm falcon]

ASE isn't ASA though 😛
And you're talking about "I don't have a way to tell them how to join".
That's literally the only way to join on an ASA server. Is to search for it in the Search Bar. Or hope you appear in the top few 10k servers on the UnOffiical list that folks find your name appealing

[fading timber]

no sht you type in the name to find it, it's not working for alot, i had no visibility issues at all till the patch the other day and now even me locally i have a hard time joining and have to use m console

[rich cloak]

Lets not degrade the discussion in this channel like the others, ok?

[fading timber]

fake news you can join via console with OPEN IP:PORT

[livid pivot]

Two questions
Would "noundermeshkilling=True" work on ASA?
2.if so,where would it go?game or user?

[dapper hound]

i'm trying to fix this since 48 hours and man he came in says to search in the bar.... come on

[rich cloak]

Deep breaths

[warm falcon]

Okay bud, you seem to know what you're doing then you should be able to fix your issue fine.
If they were actively trying to hide servers they'd be affecting the lot of us.

[fading timber]

dont make demonstrably false claims there are other ways to join than name search

[fading timber]

it is affect alot smh, provide somethign accurate and constructive or just dont have input

[vagrant ledge]

Thats the one I have on my server, I cant actually tell you if it works as I havent tested it, but it would prob go into your gus, or -noundermeshkilling in your start bat

[fading timber]

the issue has nothing to do with us and everythign to do with their update

it didnt magically all break for alot right when update happened for no reason

[livid pivot]

What's the start bat? Sorry I'm so used to ASE's old settings that ASA confuses me at times lol

[copper gale]

start.bat is a file you create

[livid pivot]

I will put it into gus for now tho,I really hope that works

[vagrant ledge]

yeah start bat is if you are using steamcmd

[copper gale]

are you using nitrado?

[vagrant ledge]

but yeah putting it in your gus should work aswell

[livid pivot]

Yeah I'm on Nitrado

[copper gale]

yeah I know nothing of how they have stuff set up. but yes I agree with Krognet

[livid pivot]

Thanks yall! Hopefully this solves the constant needing to reload saves because someone got deleted

[vagrant ledge]

just a question, how are the getting deleted? how do they get outside the world boarder?

Cause only time I have been deleted is if Im getting grabbed by a tuso or breaking the speed barrier in gcm

[rich cloak]

I think some of the Border Wall kill issues, are based on Server <> Client performance issues, AKA "Sync", the server sees you out of bounds due to a sync issue, BANG you are deaded

[rich cloak]

Ya, GCM and Admin Fly has killed many lol

[vagrant ledge]

yeah was just thinking that desync could be the problem

[livid pivot]

They're flying around and getting a "destroyed by world barrier"

[vagrant ledge]

Only reason I remove everything on me if I need to use gcm

[vagrant ledge]

Are they flying close to the world barrier? either the roof or sides?

[rich cloak]

I keep a personal "Dump Box" for when I am going to perform "Risky" business

[livid pivot]

It's happened during:
-flying an argy near the swamp
-riding a rhyniognatha
-cheat flying

[livid pivot]

One i have a video of wasn't near any border and was fairly close to the ground

[vagrant ledge]

yeah got that too, lost 2 sets of item already cause I have forgotten to dump my stuf

[rich cloak]

Are you by chance using the "Speed Costume" MOD?

[livid pivot]

Nope, lemme grab my mod list

[vagrant ledge]

ohh well thats another issue then, sure the noundermeshkilling might help prevent the deaths, but the actually problem seems to be something els

[cunning badger]

Hey would anyone know if ark ascended can be clustered with multiple island maps or if this will even be a thing? In ASE it had the “cross ark” setting but I don’t see it in ascended

[livid pivot]

Current mods:
-Additions Ascended:
•Archelon
•Brachiosaurus
•Helicoprion
•Deinotherium
•Deinosuchus
•Xiphactinus
•Ceratosaurus
-Utilities Plus
-Just Be Reasonable! (rhynio craving change)
-Custom Dino Levels
-Electric Power Amplifier
-Klinger Additional Ferry Boats
-Return the Beacons! (RTB) (Now cross-platform!)
-Crafting Skill Potion
-Super Cryo Storage
-Admin Panel

[rich cloak]

dont really want to see a mod list lol, are there any Speed Potions in there people are using?

[white garnet]

does anyone know if theres a setting to turn off the tribe log displaying tribemembers killing babies?

[vagrant ledge]

clustering in ASA is not available just yet, hopefully when scorched comes in march

[livid pivot]

There's no speed potions

There's nothing to enhance speed and I don't even have speed leveling enabled

[rich cloak]

Hrrrm

[vagrant ledge]

It could be the super cryo storage messing something up, I had that mod on my server and there was a few problems with it

[ruby merlin]

i also had to remove super cryo storage

[vagrant ledge]

Not sure if it has been fixed on that mod yet but the terminals went invisible for everyone

[ruby merlin]

it messed with my ui

[livid pivot]

I think yesterday's update fixed the terminal issue but I've been at work so I haven't gotten a chance to check yet

[vagrant ledge]

I have not yet removed it from my server (planning on doing it any day now) cause Im waiting for a few players to switch over to the other mod I added. So I could go in and test if it is causing issues, just cryo and flyer and the fly around for a bit

[livid pivot]

I used Pelayori's Cryo Storage until like 4 days ago,had alot of UI freezes when using the gun with that one

[livid pivot]

The weird thing is I was using Pelayori's at first,could cryo mods in general be causing the issue?

[vagrant ledge]

well I know in the beginning when cryo mods where new they cause alot of issues, thats why I thought it might be the culprit but not sure

[warm falcon]

So -ServerPlatform=All servers aren't supposed to be downloading PCOnly versions of mods, but mine did.
Any insight or help here?

[grand vigil]

so i tried everything i possibly could and still cant figure out how to make it to where the amount of points gained in crafting skill goes up by more then 10 when putting points into crafting skill. please please please can anyone help ive tried everything i cant think of

[fading timber]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11]=300

at 300 5 points into crafting will max any BP really

[rich cloak]

What % would that be In Game? any idea?

[fading timber]

uhh i can look i forget it's a few thousand tho

5 points in at 300 is a few thousand i mean im not sure what the jump per point is

[rich cloak]

Ok, well no big deal, but if you remember to look

[fading timber]

yerr will do

[tacit ether]

Are people still having issues not see'ing there servers?

[vagrant ledge]

Íf you are using mods I would recommend the Crafting skill potion mod, really handy if you dont want to waste points into crafting

[rich cloak]

When on the Server Browser window, open the Command Console window and type in "Ark.UseServerList 0" and hit enter. Now use the Refresh button at the bottom of the screen to see the server you set a filter for.

[tacit ether]

I know.. i have that already posted in my discord for people to use to join

just stupid ark hasn't fixed this already

[vagrant ledge]

There really should be a way to revert an update or if you could choose what patch you want your server to be on

[rich cloak]

While I do not disagree, I see that also creating a cascade of issues, Client and MOD compatibility to start

[tacit ether]

Imagine how much more successful this game would be if after 8+ years they stopped fucking over their playerbase lol

[vagrant ledge]

what you mean, WC can just fix those issues, right!

[lyric python]

[rich cloak]

The only thing I know about Battle Eye, is where to turn it off

[torn eagle]

Thanks ! It works

[copper gale]

clustering works for me when hosting the modded map svartalfheim and the island

[wise kindle]

Thats not a supported feature. Use at your own risk.

[copper gale]

really???

[wise kindle]

Not at all.

[copper gale]

good to know

[wise kindle]

The security holes there arent to be taken lightly.

[copper gale]

thanks for the heads up removing it

[wise kindle]

Best to disable all downloads btw, the number of people transferring in from single player with red guns is ridiculous

[rich cloak]

Look up -clusterid on the official WIKI, you will see a big red X for ASA, and that ID is the single source of authenticity / security to protect a cluster by default. If you use a MOD / Work around, "Buyer Beware"

[sterile bane]

Hey guys, long time ark player, new to the discord. Lookin for help on a recent problem lots of people seem to have and this seems like the right place. I run an unofficial dedicated server and recently it will not show up in the server list on Ark. We can all still connect via the "open ip:port" command, but I want to have a password and I can't for the life of me figure out the command for that. The wiki has some options for ASE, but they are unclear and what I've tried hasn't worked. Anybody know if this command can handle that? I play on steam. Thanks!

[rich cloak]

When on the Server Browser window, open the Command Console window and type in "Ark.UseServerList 0" and hit enter. Now use the Refresh button at the bottom of the screen to see the server you set a filter for.

[sterile bane]

Hmmmm, okay. I will try that. What does that do?

[kind bloom]

Need some help if possible. Last night I was hatching eggs, and breeding just fine with boosted rates on my server. I had the hatch speed set to 50, mating cooldown set to 0, cuddle to 0.01, and imprint to 100. Everything was fine and working appropriately, but I went to change the setting so that the eggs hatched a little faster and gestation was faster as well, bumped it to 75. Now everything is broken. No matter what I do, whether I set it to default setting or what, the hatch/gestation time is still 1-3 hours long. Why is this happening?

[rich cloak]

The Ark.UseServerList 0 command in ARK: Survival Evolved/Ascended is used to change how the game retrieves the list of available servers when you're looking to join an online game. More specifically, this command relates to the process of fetching the server list via the Steam client.

When you set this command to 0 (i.e., Ark.UseServerList 0), it tells the game not to use the new Steam method for retrieving the server list. This can be useful in certain situations, for example, if you are experiencing issues with the standard server list retrieval method.
Conversely, setting this command to 1 enables the use of the new Steam method for fetching the server list.
This command is typically used for troubleshooting or to bypass specific issues related to connecting to game servers via Steam. If you're not experiencing any particular problems with the server list, there's usually no need to alter this setting.

[sterile bane]

Awesome. Thanks for the info, I'll give that a go!

[sage cosmos]

you have to wait until the next cycle to see the changes take effect

[wanton hinge]

They could also just not break it.

[grand vigil]

do those go in the game ini or the gameusersettings.ini?

[sage cosmos]

huh?

[spring echo]

Yeah mine's been having "Invalid" issues since 12 hours ago. Not sure if it's affecting everyone.

[tardy pine]

Has anyone been able to get the giveitemtoplayer command to work from rcon? I am thinking about automating a new player starter kit for new joiners to my server but havent been able to get the command to work

[lone lodge]

Thank you has there been any news that they know we are having this issue at all ?

[solemn zephyr]

Working fine on my end

[wind shoal]

I plan on buying a server can I still use admin commands in game?

[grizzled wagon]

my server crashed yesterday and now when im starting it, it dosent work any more, i tryed to make a backup on the save files and made a new savegame bit it still dont come up in ark?

any tips on what to do

i checked the firewall and router

[tardy pine]

would you mind sharing an example of a working command? maybe I am missing some quotes somewhere or something

[solemn zephyr]

GiveItemToPlayer 859006601 "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Honey.PrimalItemConsumable_Honey'" 100 0 FALSE

The 859006601 being their spec ID.

[tardy pine]

Thank you!

[low dew]

@grizzled wagon have you tried direct connecting

[grizzled wagon]

no

[low dew]

@spring echo delete all mod folders from server and have server redown load the mods will typically fix that issue

@grizzled wagon try it and confirm the server is actually not running

@grizzled wagon you can also alternatively go to battle metrics and search for it

And see if it's online

And if you direct connect and get booted shortly after then we go to the next step xD

[wind shoal]

Can I give myself admin commands on my own server?

[solemn zephyr]

Of course

[wind shoal]

How so on ps5?

[low dew]

@wind shoal same way as PC through the console

If you have an admin PW set up on the server

[wind shoal]

Am I also able to give it to other people?

[solemn zephyr]

Yes, that's how servers have multiple admins

[jade folio]

For servers (not SP), is there a work around for adding creatures? I want to replace all pegos with ovis and the game removed the pegos but didn’t add the ovis. I know it used to work in ASE.

[brittle sparrow]

So my server went back down. It’s online. Battle metrics shows it’s online but it still doesn’t appear when I search the server

[rich cloak]

When on the Server Browser window, open the Command Console window and type in "Ark.UseServerList 0" and hit enter. Now use the Refresh button at the bottom of the screen to see the server you set a filter for.

[low dew]

@brittle sparrow have you direct connected to it yet does it let you in or boot you shortly after

[brittle sparrow]

Not just yet. I’m at work right now. It worked last night just fine but then my wife tried to get in this morning and it was gone again. Not sure what happened over night

[low dew]

@brittle sparrow are you renting from nitrado or running it on a machine

[brittle sparrow]

Running in my own server machine

[low dew]

@brittle sparrow if you direct connect to it and it times you out 30 seconds after getting in the problem lies in your bat

[brittle sparrow]

Ok. I know yesterday it had something to do with the listen? Part but that isn’t in my bat anymore

[low dew]

@brittle sparrow I remember I was helping another person with the symptoms I described

[wanton hinge]

Follow what Grabby posted up above. If your server is password protected make sure you apply the right filter.

[brittle sparrow]

Ok no prob

[low dew]

@brittle sparrow if the problem persists after you get home and you get the symptoms I described DM me and I'll walk you through setting up a server manager to handle your bat configuration and eliminate a majority of the headaches your getting

[brittle sparrow]

Oh is there a new manager? I use to use the one for evolved

[low dew]

Your playing asa?

[brittle sparrow]

Yea

I’m not using the one for evolved just saying that when I played evolved that’s what I used

[low dew]

Yes there is a manager for asa

[brittle sparrow]

Cool. I’ll try this suggestion first when I get home but then would like to use the manager. Would make things some much easier

[wanton hinge]

I'd suggest doing both

An ark manager will make your live 10x easier.

[low dew]

DM me later when you want or need help with a server manager will only take 5 10mins mins in a call to set you up

[fast elm]

hi I see my server I join connection time out

[low dew]

@fast elm you renting from nitrado or hosting on a box

[wanton hinge]

Probably UDP issue. I need coffee

[fast elm]

docker

[wide plinth]

Hey so I plan on setting up a server and im doing an ad.
However Im running an RP focused server instead of PVP or PVE. Which one would you all say it would fall under? (as there are rules for war and such, meaning that PVP is an element of it, however there are also rules for not killing on site, which I would have thought is a PVE thing | sorry if this comes across as a bit of an ad, I just dont really know where to ask).

[solemn zephyr]

Personally I'd do it as PvE to prevent trolls, and organized wars can be done using the tribe wars feature.

[delicate sage]

Can someone link the manager for ASA? My thought is that the file structure is identical and the commands are all the same, so it should have been easy to make Server Manager work for ASA (it is literally just writing to the game .ini which seems to follow a similar structure to ASE)

[fading timber]

game

[delicate sage]

If you change the game ini it updates the game user settings.ini. In any case, only make the changes in one.

Rather, if you make a custom .bat file with launch parameters, it will update the game.ini.

[low dew]

@wide plinth i run pretty much what your wanting to be prepared to write alot of rules lol and depending on how many will be playing will determine if you gonna get any bad apples i have around 15 people with cross play

[delicate sage]

Every server needs a villain

[low dew]

@delicate sage google asa server manager chr4one has a good one

@delicate sage theres a line betwen villan and ahole that dosnt follow the rules

[wide plinth]

Yeah I've played quite a few RP servers in my time (on different games), I already have a near incomprehensibly sized set of rules.
But thank you for the heads up!

Also yeah, I wont be afraid to ban people if they are just being bad apples.

[wide plinth]

There is villain (groups that get into lots of arguments and who the server will unite against and declare war on), and then there are people who get banned.
Luckily I already have a villain faction.

[low dew]

@wide plinth how i have mine set up is everyone gets one base a safe zone only raidable by adminapproved wars

everything in the open world has to be casually rped out and extra bases are considered outposts that are fair game to be raided with a strict no offline raiding polocy

seems to be working so far lol

[wide plinth]

I have a raiding and a war system in mine (raids have to be alerted to the staff team to avoid it being seen as griefing, but cant outright destroy bases) and when it comes to bases everyone gets to claim a region of the map, which other players can contest by destroying the regions "capital" (main base, denoted by a flag in the center), which will free up that chunk to be taken by others again (and of course a victory condition can be to just take that region).

[low dew]

i guess there simlar in a way i like to be hands off so i dictate the rules acordingly

[wide plinth]

Yeah.

[low dew]

nothing worse then being spammed constantly doing admin stuff i dont need that lol

[delicate sage]

Ah yes I see that the Chro4one ASM is the one based off the original. They swore up and down there would be no port to ASA lol.

[dusky thistle]

Thinking back to breeding changes, there was supposed to be config to set the maximum a stat could be. Its still capped at the old 255 on official but supposed to be configurable on private servers. What are the config settings that dictate that?

[low dew]

@delicate sage the origonal developers are gone

[delicate sage]

Well that’s good. Or bad. I’m not sure.

[low dew]

its good cuz now other people can pick up the work rather it being just one group

[delicate sage]

As far as system requirements. Is there a big difference in ASE server vs ASA or roughly the same?

[low dew]

if your got 16gb of ram for asa your good

1 core but have another available just in case

i sit at about 9gb running asa server

[delicate sage]

I was looking at my RAM usage the other day for 2 servers for ASE and realized that a Steam task was utilizing 4 gig all by itself. The ASE servers unloaded use about 1 gig depending on map.

About that one core.

So I currently use a 5600G 6 core 12 Thread. But the servers are passworded and only have, at a max, 5 people. Even then, the CPU never exceeds much over 4% utilization with 2-4 servers running. I was thinking of switching out that proc for a 3000G which is a 2 Core 4 Thread - going to test this weekend in any case. If the other servers are just sitting idle, they wouldn’t be using much of the physical cores anywho?

I try to keep most of the maps running simu

[low dew]

[celest halo]

Should have a min of 2 there is some multithreading in the server

[low dew]

[delicate sage]

It sounds like the server will only ever use 2 threads. But if multiple instructions are being sent to the same core, does it just cause latency.

I mean, if only a small percent of the processor is being used, shouldn’t the scheduler be able to divide the server tasks fairly efficiently?

[celest halo]

My VM has 8 right now on start up server uses them all, while running I see some usage in 3-4 of them but no way of telling if it's the server using them or windows, only one has high usage

[delicate sage]

Yes, I observe the memory climb up to about 8 gigs per server as it is loaded into memory from SSD. It then reduces to about 1 gig. But I never see the processor ramp up.

[delicate sage]

This is for ASA?

[celest halo]

Yeah

[low dew]

@celest halo it will use all the cores unless you tell it to only use one in the commandline

typically it wont use more then what one can handle by it self as far as % goes

ive honestly never seen it jump past 20% useage on a busy day

[delicate sage]

Yes you can set affinity. My finding on that was that setting affinity affected the server tick rate and made it laggy. Apparently the windows scheduler does a good job vs setting specific affinity.

[low dew]

my server tick rate sits around 45 fps

[delicate sage]

I would set 5 servers to 0 & 1 2 & 3 and so forth.

[low dew]

right now its using 10%

[delicate sage]

Ideally I think you want it at 60?

[low dew]

you wont see 60

game is far to unoptimized for the tick rate to hit 60

most ive seen is 45 typically bounces between 25 to 45

[delicate sage]

I never tested, but I can believe it.

[low dew]

just hit esc ingame in your server

you will see the tick rate in the lil info box

[delicate sage]

I run the server off the backhaul on my mesh network. I thought it was amusing we would have ping well under 30 across state lines lol.

New server setup will be a 3000G with 32GB ram. Trying to get it to run under 100 watts total draw.

Eco Ark Server lol

[grizzled wagon]

@low dew i can find it on battlemetrics but not in ark

[low dew]

@grizzled wagon have you direct connected to it

take the ip off battle metrics open your console type open ip:port

might have to do it twice then report back with what happens

[low dew]

@wanton hinge dosnt always work

some times the issue is the server it self not the search function in game

thats why i get people to direct connect first to determin which one it is

[wanton hinge]

Well its a simple 2 second thing to try. 😛

[grizzled wagon]

@low dew can you direct connect throw ark or use the "Game sererver" on steam

[low dew]

you can do it ingame of ark

[wanton hinge]

open ip:port

[low dew]

just open the console in the main menu with ~

[grizzled wagon]

okey thx

hmm it worked

[low dew]

wait about 30 seconds

[torn void]

how do you check the tickrate?

[low dew]

let me know if you time out @grizzled wagon

@torn void if your on the server just hit esc you will see it in the little info box on the right

[carmine goblet]

Any else notice their server memory usage dropped? Mine was always around 11 to 15 depending on how many are on and now it's only at 7 with a few people on. It was never that low even at idle.

[low dew]

@carmine goblet its working normally nothing to worry about

[grizzled wagon]

@low dew no timeout, thx for the help 🙂

[low dew]

@grizzled wagon in that case it is your search bugging out use the little fix koz suggested with Ark.UseServerList 0 in the console

[grizzled wagon]

i can see it now, tested it before but i didn't help

[grim nova]

Only issue with pointing people at direct connection first is you need to give the disclaimer that if they have a password they need to remove it before testing this way or they will end up with a false positive since the direct connect command does not currently function with passwords

[low dew]

@grim nova it will just black screen if they have a password its not a big deal

[grim nova]

Yes but that literally is a false positive you are saying "If direct connect doesn't work then you can determine which it is" if you don't mention password and they don't know its a false positive thinking its a network or configuration error

[low dew]

i look for a specific symptom which has been super common is where you get in see your character move around then time out

along with the search function which is been a issue latley to

[grim nova]

You also tried to push back on that yesterday saying it is supported, just saying make sure to give people the info if you are going to suggest it.

[low dew]

the direct connect with passwords isnt supported but its a easy as removing the password and trying again

[grim nova]

Which is exactly what I said... Hence the suggestion when telling people to attempt direct connect let them know password is not supported lmao

[low dew]

[steel scaffold]

Why is the server list for console so bad? Like it only shows 10 at a time and it’s random every time u refresh

[near dirge]

I saw someone earlier saw using the full name in the search under favorites tab finds there unofficial server. It just worked for me too. Turkey mod only with no password.

[low dew]

cuz console is bad and pc is master race

[rich cloak]

Welcome to a few steps back in respect for that statement

[low dew]

number 1

[lilac timber]

Does anyone know how I can get the maximum dino level above level 150 on my private server? OverrideOfficialDifficulty dont do anything

[wise kindle]

It is, but you probably have MaxDifficulty set to True. Set it to False and then start back up and do a cheat destroywilddinos.

[lilac timber]

thx

[rich cloak]

When MaxDifficulty is set to TRUE, it over rides the OverrideOfficialDifficulty setting, and forces it to 5, which = level 150

[native wave]

Yeah forgot about the max difficulty part in my answer earlier. Because we needed ANOTHER setting for difficulty

[rich cloak]

I believe, it was intended to be a simple way to set to Official levels, but that was long ago

I do not think it is even in the WIKI any where any more, but it is still effective

[tight plank]

ok y’all new patch dropped looks like it should fix our issues but we’ll wait and see till its public

[tacit ether]

v32.24 (server and client) - 12/14/2023 - Minor version for servers and clients

Updated how unofficial servers are listed to prevent errors and exploits
To see non-commercially (non-Nitrado) hosted Unofficial Servers, please enable the checkbox "Show Player Servers" and refresh the session list
Fixed some session listing bugs

I like how they had to specify "non-nitrado" like they knew they fucke dup

[tight plank]

ya fr

[fluid arch]

That's super interesting. I can't confirm if I'm using "dynamic config" (need research) but for example the holiday event started automatically for my ASE server the other night. All I needed to do was ripple my server once I noticed the new splash screen on the client. Server picked up the event automatically on startup.

I'm really thankful ASE functions this way. It's very easy/ low touch

[rich cloak]

It is Public, i just updated

[tight plank]

this new patch better work im tired of people asking every 5 min “I cAnT sEe mY sErVeR”

[tight plank]

awesome

[tacit ether]

you enjoy it!

[dusky thistle]

Does anyone know the config parameters regarding the stat point caps? They removed the 255 cap on unofficial and said it would be for server admins to decide, but never saw the actual config lines to set those.

[tacit ether]

I literally just copy-pasted my files from ASE over to ASA... What are config files?

[grim nova]

Where did you see an announcement regarding the removal of the 255 cap?

[celest halo]

they pushed a patch to fix server list lmao

[dusky thistle]

From Community Crunch 381
Honestly, there are a fair number of changes on the gameplay side:
This one sounds scary, we know. Our Product and QA teams were freaking out about it, but generally, our intention hasn’t been to change the strength of creatures but to make the implementation cleaner. Previously, mutations were based on a creature's wild stat multiplier, and now we’ve given it its multiplier. This has led to some creatures receiving some buffs/nerfs in particular stats, but we intend to rebalance this over time as we evaluate their roles in the meta. We’ll want your feedback on that :).
We have NOT FIXED getting more than 20 mutations, but we removed the 255 cap so that servers can specify a cap. We’ll leave it as is for our Officials (255), but it’s open to adjustments.

[carmine goblet]

I was wondering why I couldn't find my server since it worked fine for so long lol

[grim nova]

Interesting have yet to see any type of gus for it, but its also WC and any of their promises are 50/50

[dusky thistle]

Yea documenting things is a bit of an issue which is why i was wondering if anyone had run across it. Kinda like the configs for changing generator limit/range. Just another one that was stumbled across

[rich cloak]

The new patch seems to resolve the server list issue, Huzzah!

[dusky thistle]

This probably jinxed it.

[wanton hinge]

Did I read that correctly lol

Nitrado rented servers are separated from player hosted by a filter.

[rich cloak]

People will still come here that do not read and say thier serevr is not listed, and then I can paste in Did you check the new box that says "SHOW PLAYER SERVERS" in the bottom right side?

[jagged basalt]

My server shows without that setting

[rich cloak]

Where should I send your participation ribbon?

[unborn jetty]

thats sneaky of wildcard tho

[wanton hinge]

It's totally to prevent "exploits"

[rich cloak]

It indicates what many suspected, that Nitrado get special treatment

[jagged basalt]

I was just offering what I noticed. Two steps back for respect

[tacit ether]

Nitrado is complete garbage

[grim nova]

They kind of have to Nitrado is the only thing that kept them afloat, hence the shitty proprietary deal

[native wave]

Well they already have their own branch

[rich cloak]

Ok, so that is over, what is the next rant on the list?

[native wave]

Mine are: ports, clusters, whitelists

[rich cloak]

Would really like the White listing implemented

[tacit ether]

Snail Games selling Wildcard to a better more competent company should be what's next 😛

[native wave]

I hate having to type the password. I don't even use the admin whitelist for myself

[rich cloak]

Ya, Whitelisting is more secure IMHO

[tacit ether]

Where is the Admin Whitelist in the files?

[rich cloak]

you make it yourself

[tacit ether]

yeaaaaaa i figured lol

[dapper hound]

so seems we got a fix

[rich cloak]

It is not hard to do

[dapper hound]

thank you all for these days support @rich cloak

[rich cloak]

ASA does NOT use Steam IDs! use "cheat ListPlayers" in the console to get player IDs to use
Add to the GUS ini, Note that the path and file name is specific to MY server setup for one of my servers.
I can not help with the correct path needed for a Nitrado Server

In the GUS INI
[ServerSettings]
AdminListURL="file://C:\\ARK\\config\\AdminList.txt"

Of course, a person can READ the Server WIKI

[tacit ether]

Reading is for chumps

[old hamlet]

Yes, and this filter is off by default. And resets to off every time you open the server browser.

[solemn zephyr]

"Why read when you can ask?"

Never made sense to me.....

[old hamlet]

coffee stain

[eternal crater]

Ugh. Just saw this. Simply maddening "solution"

[balmy vortex]

Yep, this is bullshit.

[lavish stone]

atleast we get the server back in a way

could havebeen worse, and not at all anymore, even its just horrible what they did

[stuck wigeon]

Tell me this ain’t Nitrado bringing the self hosted guys down. What a fckin joke

[frigid vine]

Anyone gets the last update? App '2430930' already up to date. still on 32.17

[shrewd depot]

Showing 32.24 on mine.

[lavish stone]

this is nitrado yes,.. they want them for you to rent on their network

hope they will undo this at some point

[stuck wigeon]

But host on garbage machines and don’t support plugins. This shit is infuriating

[frigid vine]

start bin/steamcmd/steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir F:/servers/testserver +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit you see any fault on my side? Tried also with validate

[lavish stone]

yep i know , even if they would, i would never pay for a server what i can do alot cheaper on own network

[stuck wigeon]

Exactly, I can run 4 70cap maps on my 1 OVH bare metal machine for like $40 more of the cost of 1 nitrado server

[shrewd depot]

Same as what I have, I don't see anything there.

[lavish stone]

i just upgraded my hardware to 128gb ram, i can run like 6-7 maps if they take around 10-15 gb ram

[frigid vine]

Weird. Tried also to install new server, testserver-2, same version. Seems steamcmd does not fetching the correct latest version.

[lavish stone]

could be a steam issue too

but your commandline is correct
i use mine same like yours

+app_update 2430930 -validate +quit (at the end)

[fallow marsh]

Simple question I hope. I want to increase the tribe tame limit. Private server. Just need the ini and where to enter it! Thanks

[stuck wigeon]

Spend 10 bucks on Beacon, you will thank me later

[lavish stone]

most settings are the same as ase, you tried those?

[fallow marsh]

Im not sure what the setting actually is. The server is set to 5000 max tames and 250 tribe limit by default.

Im on xbox btw. Not sure what beacon is.

[frigid vine]

Yeah the +quit im using too, but the batch-file itself. Currenctly i'm debugging via cmd.

[lavish stone]

try this, change path
@echo off
start "" steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "H\Ark Survival Ascended" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 -validate +exit

[frigid vine]

"-validate" and "+exit" never saw before tbh. Maybe you mean validate +quit but this is already in my batch file, i just removed the quit to see the output

[supple ginkgo]

Anyone having issues with 32.24? My self hosted server (dedicated machine) is booting up the server, but nobody can see it in server list or connect to it with Open [IP]:[PORT] anymore

[lavish stone]

this works perfect for me, i never made any bat file before, i got it from someone else too, ( still waiting for a tool :) )

[frigid vine]

You can use WindowsGSM. I removed it last night. Too many problems at least. So i wrote my own framework.

[lavish stone]

i wouldnt even know where to start doing that, im just waiting for a tool :)

[queen harbor]

Probably related to today's patch which hides self hosted dedis?

[supple ginkgo]

thats what we thought, but following the instructions with ARK.ServerListing 0 etc it still wont show up, so there is something weird going on

[jagged basalt]

Try checking the box “Show player servers”

[stuck wigeon]

GSM has a ASA plugin that supports ArkAPI, has worked great for me so far

[supple ginkgo]

did that, nothing

[lavish stone]

aah like that, ive seen that too, wasnt sure if i would add it

[wind shoal]

I just made a server and can’t find it

I searched the name and couldn’t find it

[distant hearth]

nitrado used unlimited setting for ase servers so prob same on asa, u want to look for this line in gameuser.ini "MaxPersonalTamedDinos=0"

[wind shoal]

How would I find it

[lavish stone]

make sure to click Show Player Servers only

if its not from nitrado

[wind shoal]

It is from nitrado

[wet cove]

nitrado is doing an update, give it a few minutes

[fallow marsh]

I already have that set to 500
Does the 250 override that setting?

[distant hearth]

setting the line i wrote to 500 limits your tribe to 500 tamed dinos, setting it to 0 is unlimited

[fallow marsh]

Thats the problem though. It still didnt increase to
500. Ill try that and let ya know what i find. Well, when the server is back online. Lol. Thanks for the help

[wanton glen]

Ok does anyone know how to correct the issues with the latest patch we have our own dedicated PC server on our end updated to 32.24 but when loading in to the server on ark end it shows it as 32.21 and gives all of us trying to rejoin a mod mismatch error

[distant hearth]

the way they code stuff is weird, its possible 5000 is to high for it to recognize

[wind shoal]

I still can’t find my server and everything is up and running

[fallow marsh]

@distant hearth which is odd since that is a number untouched

[distant hearth]

oh sry thought you changed MaxPersonalTamedDinos

[stuck tinsel]

So nitrado have advantage with server i pay 150$ per month ??

Nice fking game

[fallow marsh]

I changed max personal tames to 500 but the max total tames are 5000.

[distant hearth]

i see, try the personal to =0 , its kinda a wrongly worded line, as it does the combination ofa tribes tames

[fallow marsh]

I have it entered on line two under game ini and that would be directly under shooter game.

[distant hearth]

it goes in gameuser ini under [serversettings] , make sure u dont have two entries as that confuses it

[fallow marsh]

Lovely, i found that information awile ago for where to enter it. Obviously they were wrong. Will try this now!!

[distant hearth]

im going by how ase was setup and asa so far uses everything the same

in the ini configs anyway

[jagged basalt]

You are correct

[delicate sage]

So silly question, but is there any reason to have an ASE server bother to check for updates since it is officially retired

[craggy holly]

Did you get an answer for this anywhere? I have the same issue.

[wanton glen]

It is Nitrodo holding us up

[jagged basalt]

Shut down the sever. Double check it’s up to date. The restart will automatically update any out of date mods. Then have everyone check their clients to make sure all mods are updated

[craggy holly]

I have done that. Several times now. I confirmed the server is updated but it's still showing in the Ark Server List as 32.21 with three people on the server. I even pulled my server down, left it down and refreshed the game sever list and it doesn't leave the list.

[jagged basalt]

Are you two in Nitrado Discord?

[wanton glen]

We already did that server is showing correct on the PC end and all 12 players but Nitrodo already release that they need to patch there end and should be out soon

[craggy holly]

I read something about the patch just not being pushed out to everyone yet. So maybe it's just that we're on the back end of getting it?

Oh, I'm on a dedicated server, not Nitrado.

[jagged basalt]

I’m surprised Nitrado is behind.

[wanton glen]

Yes on Nitrado discord

They aren't behind on there paid servers just on the private PC servers that routes through there systems

[jagged basalt]

@craggy holly I’m on dedi too. I have the recent patch. Maybe Steam update issues

[wind shoal]

I still can’t find my server on ps5

I just paid for it

[wanton glen]

It takes time for a newly paid server to show up with install and everything

[wind shoal]

Even if it says it’s running?

[distant hearth]

contact support, but i will say it can take upto 30 mins to show up if it was all setup correctly

[wind shoal]

Ok

[craggy holly]

Hmm... maybe. After seeing more of what people have said, I think it's just a delay for us to get it. Everything seems to be updated and fine (our server, me, other players) and we're just waiting now.
I might wait to patch moving forward. xD
thanks for the help, all.

[wind shoal]

How do you know if ur even updated?

[magic widget]

anyone having issues after the update with constant restart cycles?

[frosty bramble]

Hey fellas, just got my ASE server up and running. Was able to connect to if from a pc on the same network, but my friends are currently unable to join. I've made sure to port forward all the neccesary ports and allow them through Windows Firewall, but still no luck. Anything I might be missing?

[humble thicket]

does anyone understand the reason for the crash?
"Last Replicated Actor Allo_Character_BP_C_2145848344
Last Remote Function Client Notify Torpidity Increase" ?

[quiet trellis]

Yep, nitrado host

[magic widget]

yeah same here

[fair cloak]

same

[quiet trellis]

They force a restart where the servers were working without warning lol and break the server, gotta love nitrado

[magic widget]

i see some are up though so wonder whats causing it

[distant hearth]

nitrado? if so it often happens, you can try stopping the server for 5 mins then restart it, failing that contact there support

[magic widget]

we have d one it

[quiet trellis]

it's just not working even though they said the servers are updated

[magic widget]

hmm

[fair cloak]

i keep getting unknown error

[distant hearth]

for ase there was a setting in general, only restart on major updates, is that still there? if so enable it

[smoky pulsar]

some of our players are getting unknown error and some log in just fine.

[quiet trellis]

Server is updating right now on Nitrado

[magic widget]

all of the people on ours are getting unkown error

[quiet trellis]

yeah it shows in the game list but the server is not up

[magic widget]

Nitrado is updating again? @quiet trellis

[quiet trellis]

Not a thing for ASA unfortunately, they literally forced restarted all servers hosted with them

[distant hearth]

ah thats crappy 😦

[quiet trellis]

"We restarted your game servers to update them with the latest server patch. The update is necessary to ensure that the new client versions will find your servers in the server list. If you experience further issues please contact our support."

Only if worked lol

[jagged basalt]

WC has zero integrity with testing their “fixes” before pushing live.

[frigid vine]

The Server Browser in ARK is really Rocket science....

[distant hearth]

i mean they never did fix favorites in ase, so i guess it was to much to ask for asa to work

[jagged basalt]

My server console says 32.24 and my server showing in the client is 32.21. lol

[frigid vine]

But its sad tbh... A simple built-in feature didnt work.

The favorits only works until you close the Game. Console players have everytime to remember their Server and search for the Name. Mostly without Keyboard. terrible ...

[jagged basalt]

Favorite has never worked for me

[frigid vine]

In ASE only via Steam > Servers. ASA until you close the Game. So yes, we can say it never works

[jagged basalt]

This entire Nitrado separation from self hosted dedis is ridiculous and is just causing issues.

[frigid vine]

Not sure where is sometimes the problem by WC. The Devs or the Manager? I could not sleep if i would work there and simple features Like e.g. the server browser, favorits, graphic-settings, did not work. Don't wanna start about the game bugs. That's another topic, its EA, its fine.

[quiet trellis]

They are so greedy that they will end up losing a lot more than they would have earned without the exclusivity

[wooden saffron]

nitrado is blaming the issue on mods so far in the discord lmao

[quiet trellis]

ofc lol

[jagged basalt]

Nitrado always blames issues other than themselves

[wooden saffron]

right

people without mods are having the same issue with the restart loop nonsense

[jagged basalt]

I hate Nitrado with a passion. I was a customer for two years. Saved money by self hosting with less headache

[quiet trellis]

I really thought being exclusive they would actually deliver a proper service 🤡

[jagged basalt]

Oh I saw what was coming.. it won’t stop

[wooden saffron]

either way they get paid, why put in more work lol

[quiet trellis]

but I guess no competition, no need to actually work 😂

[jagged basalt]

When I had a server location in California that was tracerouting to Germany, I just laughed

[arctic hatch]

I can't even get my server to start i get this [2023.12.15-00.03.58:101][ 8]ERROR!!! FAtlasSaveManager::LoadOperationSql: SQL database is corrupt and the save game is compromised!

[proper jacinth]

This added checkbox for unofficial servers is just bullshit

[arctic hatch]

they didn't even do a server backups before they applied updates

[latent finch]

anyone else's server in a constant reboot cycle?

[quiet trellis]

everyone with nitrado atm

[supple ginkgo]

Yes

[jagged coral]

Hey, I'm getting an error where when I try join my own server I get "Unkown Error" with no more information, However I do notice that on my client The server shows as build version "32.21" yet the server console says "32.24".. Any known fix for this?

[latent finch]

it said it was good to go, it started up, now its just infinitely rebooting

i swear theres a new ark patch every 5 mins

[latent finch]

most servers are updating right now

[jagged basalt]

Same on my end.. just have to wait for incompeCard to fix it

[latent finch]

and Nitrado for that matter. I would've gone w/ Gportal 100x over if they didnt make a deal with Snail Games/Wildcard

[jagged coral]

I host this server myself on a dedicated machine, I've just rebooted it to try and get it to auto update (which it did), the only problem is that my client is seeing the servers build at "32.21" when that is incorrect and the servers version is "32.24".

[jagged coral]

incompeCard?

[jagged basalt]

Wildcard is incompetent

I’m self hosted too.. same issue

[thorny wagon]

Anyone know how to enable server transfers? Some clusters are doing it already

[jagged basalt]

Cross-Ark is not officially enabled

[quiet trellis]

Probably using plugins since transfer are not enabled

[thorny wagon]

Yeah. Can't find any info on it. I'd like to temporarily allow character transfers for people to move to another map

[quiet trellis]

Check on GMR plugins for arkapi

Probably can find something there

[thorny wagon]

Thank you I'll check it out

[rich cloak]

If having trouble finding your server in the Browser >> do 10 Jumping Jacks and then 10 Pushups, go to the kitchen and eat exactly one RAW egg, drink a glass of milk.
Use the restroom one time, even if you do not need to.  Now return to the computer and try again.

[distant hearth]

u forgot DO not pass go

[proper jacinth]

WC shouldn't forget that we run their game for people to enjoy. And there is a lot of us. It's not smart pissing off an entire community

[vivid tartan]

anyone having issue with the game crashing when trying to log in

[arctic hatch]

don't forget to open chat with customer support with Nitrado and ask for a week credit for this down time folks they must realize this will cost them money

[supple ginkgo]

they should be fairly used to it by now

[vernal rose]

I am still having issues getting my password to work on my dedicated server. It will not show up in the browser with a password but it will without one after a decent bit of time. My bat file is as follows :

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?SessionName=Rottingcarcuss?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27021?ServerPassword=Honda?ServerAdminPassword=Honda2023 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=20 -MULTIHOME=0.0.0.0

[low dew]

@rich cloak pc number 1

😄

@vernal rose im glad we all get your admin password to

[vernal rose]

Lol like I wouldn't change the info after putting it there

[low dew]

server password i think goes into the gus ini

[celest halo]

it can be in the bat

[vernal rose]

I have read so many varying arguments about where it goes and I promise I have tried in any spot possible. Without the pw I can direct connec to the IP before it shows up in browser

[celest halo]

on the server list you check show servers with a password

[low dew]

@vernal rose i recommend getting a server manager then and save all your headaches

[vernal rose]

Yes and I have also searched for servers with my player on it now that they added it to the filters

It is super weird I can connect to it via IP directly with no pw but can't do it with a pw and also can't find it on the browswer and I had it running for about 8hours today to come home and find nothing lol

[low dew]

server manager will solve all your problems if your running on a non nitrado server

[vernal rose]

I am but I guess I was trying to learn for myself too

[low dew]

latley from helping people most of the issues are from bat files sometimes messing with a bat file just isnt worth it when a server manager can configure everything for you making it easier

[fading timber]

lol they deifn didnt fix anything and only made it worse by forcing people to click the player servers button everytime

[jagged basalt]

You can remove the Query port.. it’s not used in ASA

[vernal rose]

Any ideas on why my pw won't work and server won't show up?

I feel like I am fucking something very minor up in this whole thing

[formal pier]

Is there a bug not leting you join unificial server right now?

[jagged basalt]

I put my password in the GUS

[last nebula]

I think so, I cant seem to join my own server ever since they updated couple hours ago

[wind shoal]

Can’t join my own server aswell

[formal pier]

And it just says unknow error

[last nebula]

yep same

[quiet trellis]

Nitrado is having major issues, they said they are aware but there is no ETA for a fix

[wanton glen]

Yah it is the server end not the pc server end they get us to pay for the game and the screw it all up as par

[maiden bramble]

nitrado scamming

[wind shoal]

That’s what it feels like I literally bought my first server during all this

[distant hearth]

unlucky timing that

[soft tusk]

Same issue here console players are on my dedicated box server yet all PC clients cannot join since 32.24 updated on it.

[wind shoal]

I’m on ps5 and don’t see my server at all

But on the website it says it’s up and running

[distant hearth]

whats the server name and is it set as xplay? i can check if its showing for me if u want

[soft tusk]

Same the server logs show it online and there are players on it as i talked to them via Rcon and yet no PC players can join as it throws the good old "Unkown Error" message

[wind shoal]

It’s called LiquorStore

[soft tusk]

not sure about PS players as relying on players from my server for answers

[wind shoal]

I don’t have crossplay setup let me do that real quick

[wind shoal]

Ok u can check now

[buoyant furnace]

Yup same here i cant join my regular server on PC after updating the game

[distant hearth]

it will take a while to restart if u just stopped it to mke changes

it dint show for me, but im on steam so might been why

[wind shoal]

Nah I did the restart and it says server started now

[distant hearth]

the web browser or app will say that , but it generally takes 5 mins for the ingame lists to update

[wind shoal]

Ahh

[distant hearth]

sometimes its less, i just norm give it 5 mins an then i know im good lol

[distant hearth]

its not showing in game for me, i tried both passworded an non passworded, then i tried searching just liq, i get a load of other servers doing that but not the one you named

[wanton hinge]

Not only are servers now separated based on a little "Show Player Servers" check. The button doesn't even work correctly unless you click the actual tiny little box inside of it.

[wind shoal]

I don’t think ps5 has that option

[buoyant furnace]

2 hours still same issue here

[distant hearth]

the odd thing is, the search now takes like a minute, where as before they messed with it a few days ago, it was almost instant

[soft tusk]

Yes, my server updated at 10pm UK time and PC players have not been able to join since yet console players are on i dont know what console they are using though

[distant hearth]

i can see my normal server that i play on an it is xplay , so its just some servers it wud seem

[native wave]

no issues seeing my server...don't even need to click "show Player servers" on my definitely not-nitrado server

[soft tusk]

Are you on 32.24 and using mods ?

[native wave]

yes, already loaded into game once

[wanton glen]

Is it showing the correct build? our updated and on pc end it shows the correct build but on the ark server end it is still showing 32.21

[native wave]

not in the server list, but according to my server console it's 32.24

I was also finding and connecting fine to mine after 32.21

[wanton glen]

ours just gives us an unknown error trying to log in

[buoyant furnace]

same

[dense fog]

I see an old listing for my server with the wrong version if I dont have the "show player servers" checked. if i check that and refresh then i see my server with the right version and can connect

[native wave]

same

[buoyant furnace]

That worked for me now in my regular server TY

[dense fog]

but if i dont have the check box and i try to join the listing with the old version number it fails with an unknown error.

[steady sage]

Is anyone else having the issue where you cannot actual click "Show Player Servers?"

Like I verified files, restarted Steam, restarted computer.

[wanton glen]

I tried checking the box and it still didn't show in that collum just the original

[distant hearth]

u have click the lil tiny box inside the button

[native wave]

also same

[steady sage]

I have been but it just doesn't .. do anything.

[harsh lotus]

Warning, if you play on a Non Nitrado server you cannot seee that server anymore unless you click the tab show player servers. Nitrado cant compete with self hosted dedis so they make wildcard beat them into the ground, Nitrado has forced wildcard to show nitrado servers show first when you click on unofficial, and all non nitrado servers are hidden by default and you must click show player servers to see any non nitrado. Nitrado knows they cannot compete with self hosted dedis so in a desperate attempt to bring in money theyve did this.

[distant hearth]

oh , tried restarting? for me the button didnt work but , clicking the lil tiny white box did

[steady sage]

Yeah. :( Restarted computer and Steam. I'm not sure what else to do.

Didn't know if anyone else was having that issue.

[distant hearth]

might sound odd, but try like joining singleplayer the quit an go back to server page , it was something that worked in ase once when they messed up server listings

u cud also try switching to official, then back , to see if it will un jam the button i guess

[steady sage]

That was a good idea. Tried both but sadly didn't work.

[distant hearth]

if ure internet good i guess next option is reinstall , i honestly cant think of anything else

i try avoiding reinstalls as my interwebs is crap, but sometimes its a last resort

[steady sage]

Okay, so I deleted my game settings and it worked in case anyone else comes looking.

[waxen robin]

anyone know of a way to disable a specific dino from breeding?

I tried this but it didnt work. found it on a reddit post, likely a troll
PreventBreedingForClassNames="Achatina_Character_BP_C"

[steady sage]

Like all of a dino type?

[waxen robin]

like, i dont want achatina to breed on my server

[wind shoal]

My server still isn’t popping up yet

[waxen robin]

only the achatina, so i want it to be disabled completely, all variants of it.

[dense fog]

thats the right line it goes in the Game.ini not GameSettings.ini but accroding to the wiki they are not sure its valid for ASA only ASE

[waxen robin]

i put it in for achatina_character_bp_c and with out the C and it isnt disabling it unfortunately

in Game.ini
PreventBreedingForClassNames="Achatina_Character_BP_C"
PreventBreedingForClassNames="Achatina_Character_BP"

both didnt stop the breeding.

[dense fog]

yeah they list it as Default value: N/A
Value type: "<string>"
Prevents breeding of specific creatures via classname. E.g. PreventBreedingForClassNames="Argent_Character_BP_C". but its confirmed for ASE and a ? for ASA so its probably not implemented in ASA settings yet

[quiet trellis]

PreventBreedingForClassNames=Achatina_Character_BP_C

Have you tried without quotes?

[waxen robin]

i havent

[jagged basalt]

You'll have to neuter the snails to prevent breeding

[jagged basalt]

It was an outdated mod issue for me on the server side that would not update. I deleted it, started up the server and that fixed it. So prob Curseforge issues not updating some mods

I take it back... not fixed. Definitely a Curseforge issue for me

[spring echo]

I've got issues now as well. Unknown error.

Also mod issues, since they love all being invalid. That's fun.

[sage surge]

Yeah it seems wildcard broke something... The issue for me at least is that I am seeing seeing my server listed as v32.21 with 6 people on when the server is now v32.24 with only 2. Since I just did the restart.

[spring echo]

Ah meant to be 32.24 Server AND client version, but mine is still v32.23 client. Wut.

[jagged basalt]

Mine is showing and its been shut down for an hour 😄

[sage surge]

Some were able to get on by checking the new "Show Player Servers" check box but for some reason I can't check that box.

[spring echo]

Click the actual small box. Like it's not like the others, you have to click the mini checkbox...... box

[sage surge]

O... lmao... stupid WC

[spring echo]

Even after clicking it, I get "Unkown Error" :\

[distant hearth]

there seems to be an issue, where if u dont click the player only button in the server page, it lists an old version of the server

[sage surge]

Thanks. Now I am seeing the version of my server running v32.24 and now I am joining.

[spring echo]

Ah I had to refresh myself. What a weird thing.

[sage surge]

Yep me too.

[jagged basalt]

lol.. combination code clicking in the menu just to join a server

[jagged basalt]

This fixed it for me

[spring echo]

Bruh. Update has broke a few things, hopefully it's patched quickly?

Ok so that's a word that for some reason you cannot say in here. Weird.

[distant hearth]

hah like the last 3 patches that were to patch the update that initially caused issues

[spring echo]

Imo it should be roll ed____ back?

There we go. Idk why that word gets your message deleted?

[distant hearth]

weird, but yea i guess they cant do that

[wind shoal]

I still don’t see my server popping up on ps5

[wooden saffron]

did you try the single player workaround?

[wind shoal]

Yea it didn’t work

[wooden saffron]

oh dang

[jagged basalt]

Is it set up for crossplay or just PS5?

[wind shoal]

I have all platforms checked so I assume so

This my first time buying a server

[jagged basalt]

name of server? I'll see if it shows up

[wind shoal]

LiquorStore

Its restarting right now

Ok it’s up now

[jagged basalt]

Its showing for me

[wind shoal]

Wow

[jagged basalt]

In your client menu, do you have Show Password Protected Servers selected with a check?

[wind shoal]

No

[jagged basalt]

add it on your PS5

then refresh

[wind shoal]

So u see the server just called “LiquorStore”

[jagged basalt]

yes

[wind shoal]

Idk why I’m unable to see it

[jagged basalt]

Its because of the menu bug they haven't fixed

[distant hearth]

it also now shows up for me, i just checked out of curiosity, im on steam version

[wind shoal]

Idk why it isn’t showing on ps5

My friends on ps5 can’t see it either

[jagged basalt]

Just need to play around with the stupid menu refresh and the search box

[distant hearth]

u defineately enabled ps5 x play with the server stopped and saved it after , then restarted.
Generally its best to stop server an wait 5 mins before making any changes

[jagged basalt]

Might be the crossplay settings in Nitrado

Crossplay is enabled by default... so I don't know how the boxes are in the control panel

[wind shoal]

I have every platform checked

[distant hearth]

even though it will show as stopped in nitrado , i always wait 5 mins as often its not actually stopped just there ui shows it stopped

[jagged basalt]

Can he stop the server, uncheck the boxes and restart it to test?

I haven't been a Nitrado customer for over a year now

[distant hearth]

since ps5 cant see it then i guess not as all we can test is if it shows with steam checked

[jagged basalt]

Well, I would stop the server, wait 5, make the changes, hit save and restart

[wind shoal]

Stop the server then uncheck what boxes?

[jagged basalt]

all the platform options

Nitrado tech support is worthless, so I'm just going down a list

[distant hearth]

i havent even seen the ini files of nitrado for asa, so i dont even know if you can just write the server options in there rather than using the general tab . Atleast its a step closer though as wasnt showing at all an hour ago

[distant hearth]

ther eok once they actually get back to you 3 days later lol

[jagged basalt]

lol

those items are for launch arguments, so I don't remember where the bat file is to look

I don't want him to get into Expert Mode yet to throw him off in the control panel'

[latent finch]

anyone else still have their server restarting in a constant cycle? i cant get ahold of NItrado and i've tried launching from backups. nothing is working

[distant hearth]

its a hardware issue there end, unless u know how to wipe the server and reinstall from a ftp backup, then not much u can do but wait for them to sort or it fix itself

and even doing it from ftp backup doesnt always work lol

[latent finch]

awesome...

[wind shoal]

We found it!

[latent finch]

i hate nitrado

[wind shoal]

It was on pvp instead of pve can anyone explain how to change it?

[distant hearth]

general settings , shud be an option to change it from pvp to pve

[jagged basalt]

Not sure how that caused it

[distant hearth]

stop server , wait 5 mins, make the change, save it, start server

[jagged basalt]

unless he had the filter looking for pve

[distant hearth]

i dint know there was a filter, mine just shows all, but i havent looked that hard

[wind shoal]

Just made the change wish me luck

[tardy pine]

anyone elses server dead tonight?

[covert orbit]

facts is there no unnoffical servers up or what'

[distant hearth]

some are up definetately

[tardy pine]

they are up... that setting pushed players to nitrado

[distant hearth]

player servers are showing for those that have been passing through after they press the button

[carmine goblet]

I got some support tickets from some of my reg server players that they got an Unknown Error when trying to connect. It seems you have to select Show Player Servers and hit refresh and then connect and it works. If you try to connect right after you search for the name it will give you an error. I hope they fix this bug soon.

[tardy pine]

a few people joined my discord and we were able to work it out. but all the players that arent in there... gone

[carmine goblet]

Yeah we are really slow tonight for players too :/

[jagged basalt]

showing as pve now

[split sleet]

Nitrado servers are caught on a constant updating loop with newest update

[low dew]

nitrado is rubbish

[torpid spear]

I was to have an auto meat or organic polymer farm on ASA does it have to be on PVP? I’ve always played on PVE and I have never tried to make one and I was thinking about it.

[split sleet]

Did yours fix??

[distant hearth]

im like 95% sure it does need to be pvp or your dinos wont attack the unclaimed babies from the farm

bPvEDisableFriendlyFire=false in the game.ini might let it work but have a feeling that only lets you hurt claimed stuff

[torpid spear]

Thank you! Also because I've never done it, what's the consequences of changing my server to PVP?

[distant hearth]

anyone on the server can attack anyone else and destroy all there stuff, dinos etc

[torpid spear]

i meant settings wise. There are only 3 of us on my server and we are all in the same tribe

[distant hearth]

well u will be able to shoot each other so that is always fun , other than that not much differnce really, make sure u dont let unknowns on the server or they will probably mess up ure stuff

[loud yoke]

What kind of server manage executables are you running to help your servers

[torpid spear]

I just have to turn off friendly fire to stop being able to hurt eachother and our tames

[distant hearth]

in pve u use bPvEDisableFriendlyFire=true to disable friendly fire, in pvp its always on i think

[jagged basalt]

you can shut off friendly fire in pvp... but that won't effect what the goal is to farm

[torpid spear]

im just using a .bat file to start my server and beacon to edit settings

[latent finch]

it has not. i tried restarting with a back up and nitrado just told me it takes 24-48 hrs. no way to contact them other than a ticket, and im sure they wont refund me the 2 days they're gonna take to respond

[loud yoke]

@torpid spear yeah i use a bst for that . I also use one for a robocopy for backups

[torpid spear]

so turning off friendly fire will allow us to dispatch the unclaimed babies

[jagged basalt]

If its a hardware issue causing the loop, Nitrado has to compensate

[split sleet]

They responded to my ticket via email. Goto general settings restore from the latest back up like legit latest. And click before you search for servers show player servers itll fix the unknown issue message

[torpid spear]

as far a i know, there isn't a server manager yet for asa, which sucks

[jagged basalt]

There is but still in early dev

[latent finch]

I tried that. i have it put as the latest save file and it just keeps restarting

[split sleet]

Find a spot to where you can shut it down

[split sleet]

Pmd you

[ancient yacht]

Still an issue with PC players unable to see unofficial servers with mods in the server list?

[distant kite]

Quick question about modding, when doing custom ini directly related to mods, for example alpha everything, do I just put those directly at the bottom of game.ini? Been trying to change a setting on one and it's not taking

[viscid estuary]

Usually mods related settings goes to the Gus.ini

[viscid estuary]

@distant kite

[harsh lotus]

scummy so scummy

[distant kite]

thank u

[red yoke]

Hello any admin on? I saw the msg regarding the issue to join the unoffical, I have been clicking the show player server for an hour now. Its not getting ticked at all. like what should i do??

[round lotus]

any admin know how to solve wild dinos being way too fast? current settings are unplayable and i don't know what i did that would have changed that

[plucky pewter]

@zealous aurora Stop catering to nitrado. Stop trying to blacklist unofficial server owners

Fix the shitty menu and stop hiding servers

[native wave]

Make sure you are clicking in the checkbox. If you are...idk then

[mystic axle]

fr, wildcard is just stepping on their own feet every chance they get, it's like a hobby to them

[real tendon]

Click the Player Check Box, THEN HIT REFRESH. you should be able to log in

[trail sundial]

Shoot if a server is favortied too it should just bypass that setting. This is just dumb. Causing so many issues for server owners hearing a constant "Cant conenct"

[wind shoal]

How to enable speed leveling?

[real tendon]

@trail sundial What i am noticing When logging in. MY Server Build is 32.21 But when i Check off Show Player Servers and refresh It updates it too 32.24

[peak sapphire]

Player or dino?

[wind shoal]

Both

[peak sapphire]

Both will be in game.ini; for dinos it’s bAllowSpeedLeveling=true
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=true

Also you’ll need PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[9]=
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[9]=

[wind shoal]

What’s the 2nd part for?

[peak sapphire]

How much you want the speed to go up by. For me, I use 3.333 for the player so it goes up by 5% per level

[wind shoal]

Which file do these go under?

[peak sapphire]

What are you using; singleplayer or dedicated server?

[wind shoal]

Nitrado server

[peak sapphire]

Go to settings>config files and in the game.ini section, add those lines

[wind shoal]

So behind the = u put 3.333?

[peak sapphire]

Only for the player. I use 2.0 for the dinos but you can change it to whatever your preference is.

[wind shoal]

And I do keep that [9] there right?

And put whatever number I want after the equal sign?

[peak sapphire]

The [9] is for the speed stat specifically

[wind shoal]

So after the equal sign I put the number of multiplier I want?

[peak sapphire]

Correct. Check out https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Stats_related

[wind shoal]

It all worked thank you

Is there a way to level movement speed with land Dino’s?

[peak sapphire]

bAllowSpeedLeveling=true should cover both player and dino. Flyers needed the extra line

[wind shoal]

I see movement speed on ceratosaurus but couldn’t level it

Maybe because its a modded Dino I’ll try it on a OG Dino

[frozen atlas]

Hello everyone, I come to you because I can't get enough of prime meat, mutton and honey. Can you help me please ?

[peak sapphire]

Increase harvest rate? Increase stack?

[frozen atlas]

my stack is 1 ..

for prime, honey

[peak sapphire]

So when you say you want more, what do you want help with specifically?

[frozen atlas]

I can't increase their stack on the game.ini

[peak sapphire]

What do you want them stacked to?

[frozen atlas]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

it does not work

[nova dome]

Can someone help me? My server isn't showing up in the server list. The 'SHOW PLAYER SERVERS' option is checked, but my server doesn't appear. This option is unchecked when my server does show up. However, an unknown error dialog appears when trying to connect to my server.
my server version is 32.21.

[peak sapphire]

Do you have the ItemStackSizeMultiplier set in the gameusersettings?

[frozen atlas]

Yes ItemStackSizeMultiplier=10

[old swan]

Wiped server, now i get a unknown error every time I try to join??

also, I did a fresh install and it still shows the server to be day 163 in the server browser

[verbal flicker]

Seems last patch broke the server browser. Those who get "unknown error" - Maunal connection works fine. Open console and type open xxxxxxxx (server ip:port) and hit enter.

Servers show up with incorrect version and player count - also give "unknown error". Thx WC 😄

[peak sapphire]

Just wanted to see what you had set. Mine works and it looks identical to yours except for the values themselves. I can’t figure out what the issue is

[old swan]

shit is dumb

[old swan]

cant even join a server when I do that

[peak sapphire]

@frozen atlas try ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=False)) it should still stack at 1000 but will include the multiplier set in the GUS

[frozen atlas]

It's good thx 🙏

[verbal flicker]

Works just fine for our players. Open console (works from menu or browser even), open 123.456.789.123:1234 and hit enter. (with your ip of course :D)

Not that we should have to resort to such measures of course -WC please sort this mess...

[smoky terrace]

Not really sure where to ask this but I have a random ass floating number in my base that only goes away if I turn the hud off..... how did it even get there?

[old swan]

now I cant even check the box "show player servers"

[smoky terrace]

It's a blue #1 the same size as my character and it changes angles depending on where I'm standing, its weird af

[lavish stone]

You sure its not a waypoint?

[smoky terrace]

Yeah it's not a way point, I wish I could upload a pic

[trail rock]

Have a bug on an unofficial server where harvestable items disappear when you go near them like rocks, trees etc. eggs don’t incubate. Server has been rebooted multiple times with roll backs but not fixed it. Anyone experienced this/have any ideas on what it could be.

[old swan]

yeah, I can't even join my server using that, fuck nutrado and wildcard

[verbal flicker]

No idea why not working for you :/ I do however, agree with the sentiment expressed. 🙂

[old swan]

we had the 50/50 bug so bad it crashed our server every time we started it, now we wipe it and can't even fucking join

[lavish stone]

No clue then sorry ^^, reset some settings or repair game if thats a thing on xbox

[verbal flicker]

50/50? (I really should stay on top of things better..lol) We have been having random server crashes for a week+, yet had zero before... Something i should be aware of?

[old swan]

at the coords 50/50 parts of peopels bases/peoples offline bodies/tamed/wild dinos

all show and can't be destroyed etc...

[verbal flicker]

Ouch.

[old swan]

said offline bodies that show up can be looted which leads to duped items

[verbal flicker]

Ty for the heads up! Will keep an eye out for it.

[old swan]

crazy they can get away with this, multiple peoples servers aren't functioning properly and nitrado lines their pockets and says "sucks to suck"

[sullen heath]

go root server, say *** nitrado ^^

[old swan]

easier said than done

[sullen heath]

hm...idk but im sure there are many tutorials out there

[old swan]

I don't have a extra pc to run the server from

[sullen heath]

you dont need one, even renting a root server is WAY cheaper then nitrado

also way better hardware

[old swan]

crazy that my server shows up on battlemetrics yet no one can join it lmao

[lament gull]

its shows ingame?

[old swan]

nah, can't even join it via console commands

[lament gull]

u on Nitrado?

[old swan]

yep

[lament gull]

then u have to mark the new button

[old swan]

where is that?

[lament gull]

its working inverted, right bottom

[old swan]

it won't let me click it is the issue

[lament gull]

clic exactly on the square

[lament gull]

still not let u clic?

[old swan]

it let me but not my friend

[tender tree]

Hello im an admin on my friends server. ive had to use comands to help someone out. is there a way to disable all the cheats ive enabled without logging off if so could someone tell me the command cheers

Just so it saves me relogging every time

[raven wigeon]

w so, everyone getting an error conecting to a server???

[indigo bison]

well i got a message on my nitrado server about a an update that cause a bunch of servers to go in to restart loop anyone else in this boat ?

[lone stream]

my players keep reporting that they get "unknown error" when they try to join my server. It's self hosted, and the server itself is fine. What the heck did WC break with the last patch?

[distant hearth]

they will need to press the "show players server" button when looking for it, this in itself is half broken as you need to press it exactly in the centre of the little white box inside the button.
Otherwise the game seems to connect people to an old page that shows a phantom version of the server from before the update

[dusk frost]

Any way for console players to get access to their ccc coords? On pc it copies it to your clipboard but that doesn't work on console. Even a way to just show the numbers so it is possible to copy them down manually.

[raven wigeon]

yep, no1 can connect to my pvt dedicated server, "unknown error" for every1!!!! Last patch Def got broken for us dedicated server hosts!!!

[nova dome]

my server version up to 32.24 but server list show up 32.21 and unknown error does appear

[raven wigeon]

@nova domeyeah, looks like we are stuck!!

[minor skiff]

depends what commands you have used. one example cheat walk disables cheat fly

[nova dome]

yeah its not just me...

[minor skiff]

LOL my game.ini is 6MB ☠️

[lone stream]

that's my advice for my players at the moment: "tick the Player Servers box, and don't forget to re-tick it every time you start the game. Because it gets lost at each restart like your favourites. And then try until it works".

Sometimes I have nasty thoughts. Like "is it really just bad luck that the non-nitrado servers get all these massive problems?"

[minor skiff]

nah luck isn't the case. it really is just pure incompetence. they aren't paid enough

[nova dome]

If you check "show player servers", does your server show up? my server is self hosting. My server is not showing up.

[minor skiff]

these 'player servers' y'all are hosting, are they the same concept as player dedicated servers on ASE before unofficials were a thing?

I'm yet to play ASA since i'm away on work business.

[raven wigeon]

@nova dome i have a dedicated server, not a self hosted server!!

[minor skiff]

there is an important difference between these @nova dome

[arctic obsidian]

Yeah have the same issue currently

[nova dome]

Sorry. I just wanted to tell you that my dedicated server is running on my server machine.

[distant hearth]

the server lists are showing like an old cached version if u dont tick the " show players server" button, refresh , then search

[nova dome]

In fact, the server list appears to be out of date. However, when I tried this operation, the server list was not updated. Restarting the client and server did the same.

[raven wigeon]

@nova dome u just need to check that box if u have a self hosted server!!!

@distant hearthyes, my server is empty but shows 8 players in it, those were online last night when i updated!!!

[distant hearth]

yea , they screwed it up an somehow it pulls an old directory

[tacit ether]

Why the fuck did they even mess with the server listings to begin with.. Snail games needs to pay back Nitrado to get rid of their garbage ass

[nova dome]

show player servers
true - my server does "not" show up
false - my server does show up but old serever session maybe last night

[tacit ether]

myself and my players all have to click "Show player servers" for my server to appear

[nova dome]

Seriously? Did you guys play on that server last night?

[tacit ether]

Yep

[nova dome]

oops

[tacit ether]

people on the server everyday.. still have to checkmark the box

[raven wigeon]

@tacit ether if the server is self hosted u have to click that!! if it's a dedicated server u don't!

[nova dome]

me too. i play with my friends everyday

[tacit ether]

Im just failing to understand why Snail games felt it was needed to serperate the 2 to begin with

why not just leave the listings the way they were.. now my players have to click a fuckin button to join and new players can't see it without clicking

[raven wigeon]

damnn, can't post a nice pic with a small brain in it!!! lol

[tacit ether]

lol I feel like snail games is doing everything in their power to ruin this game

[brave lynx]

Everyone told me a few days ago that I was a conspiracy tinfoil hat for suggesting that WC was intentional f'ing with server lists to screw over unofficial servers.

Hate to say I told you so (to the deniers), but it looks like WC is doing everything in their power to kill off their game before SE.

[raven wigeon]

Well , my bad review of the game is done!

[latent finch]

anyone else have a player whos able to open up the admin command panel?

[raven wigeon]

well not the game itself, but the server part and the suport for the users is crap

[latent finch]

its the one by clicking both joysticks or shift + "."

[latent finch]

that's because Nitrado is dogshit

the worst thing they did was make it so you can only play w/ Nitrado

[raven wigeon]

@latent finch im using my own dedicated server at a small datacenter i have at home, funny is the official network is on V32.23 , private serversd are at V32.24 loooooool

[latent finch]

oh so its not JUST nitrado, its just the game in general?

[raven wigeon]

yep, they screwed the update really bad

[jovial iron]

Hey guys, how do I add stat multipliers in nitrado. It’s been forever since I’ve done this in ase.

[arctic hatch]

Nitrado didn't even have the audacity to send out a server warning that they were going to do restarts they didn't even do a backup after they shut them down they just restarted them with update my entire save file got corrupted

they won't even give out compensation which is sad so there's probably a lot of us who's servers got rolled back and lost progression they won't give conversation because they know you can't do anything about it because they're the only host

[jovial iron]

It says I need expert mode which is supposed to be at the top of general settings but that option does not exist on mine.

I’m gonna have to cancel my subscription. I guess nitrado isn’t worth it yet.

[latent finch]

yup thats what happened to me last night. luckily it was only 2 hrs but still. it was 6 hrs of trying to get the server back up

[olive talon]

You can contact Nitrado support, or join their discord to ask for Nitrado specific questions

[jovial iron]

Isn’t there an ini setting and just edit those values to my stats and it would work in my server?

@olive talon

[olive talon]

Should be under something like engine settings, it's been a while since I've used Nitrado.

[jovial iron]

Yeah engine settings doesn’t exist. But I remember it did in ase.

[olive talon]

I'd probably ask in the Nitrado discord, it's been a very long time since I've used Nitrado so I wouldn't be much help. Their discord should be available on the site, or just search for it in the discord server search, gg/Nitrado

[jovial iron]

I think I got it. Basically I found a steam post where you basically copy your game.ini files the section where you multiply your stats and just paste them into the nitrado ini files.

Now I am starting the server and hope for the best. 🤣

[olive talon]

Good luck!

[jovial iron]

Yeah I just copied from my single player settings. No reason why it wouldn’t work. Haha

Damn. I guess no more waiting 10 min after starting up a server for it to come online after restarting. But I noticed I fucked up and made it PvP. 🤣

[olive talon]

That's not always a bad thing, pvp mode has a lot more ease with settings, like automatically having flyer carry lol

[jovial iron]

Weird. Was checking my server settings and pve is clearly checked.

Unless there’s another server named Lian Yu. 🤣

[olive talon]

Make sure its not like placed twice somewhere

[jovial iron]

Should I uncheck everything that mentions PvP?

[olive talon]

I'd read what each option does, sometimes inchecking turns things on/off when you don't want it on/off

[jovial iron]

I’m really only doing this solo. If people does join that’s cool too. lol

[olive talon]

I don't know what other content Nitrado has added for ASA that would be different from ASE

[nova dome]

my problem is fixed. maybe server list cache refreshed.

[raven wigeon]

@nova dome how u refresh it?

coz my server shows 32.21 in the server list, but in the server computer shows 32.24

[nova dome]

I shut down the server, left it for a while, tried again, and it fixed it.

Not sure why it was restored.

[jovial iron]

Found the culprit. In my gameusersettings.ini file. Under server settings it shows ServerPve=false. lol

[raven wigeon]

im reboot ing the server

[jovial iron]

So someone else does have a server named Lian Yu. lol

So it is stuck on joining server?

[raven wigeon]

i get stuck on unknown error when i select the server

server says it's on 32.21 but the dedicated server window shows 32.24

lol

[jovial iron]

My server says 32.24 and ark is 32.23.

[raven wigeon]

mine says' 32.24 on the server window but on the client server selection shows 32.21

[nova dome]

shutdown after Left for 1 hour. try it

[jovial iron]

Had to restart my pc. Ark wouldn’t close.

Maybe I should cancel my subscription and just play single player. Since nitrado doesn’t work yet.

[supple ginkgo]

Its not only nitrado. Self hosted dedicated servers doenst work either

games should really stop hiding behind the early access crutches

[raven wigeon]

lol, my server is off and it shows on the online list!!!!

can some1 confirm it plz and search for a PTserver

[covert sierra]

Hey guys, I'm trying to add dinos to spawn on my Fjordur server and I can't for the life of me figure out what I did wrong.

These are the dino spawns I'm trying to add:

`ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Fjordur_DinoSpawnEntries_SwampWater_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Bloodstalker",EntryWeight=0.3,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("BogSpider_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="BogSpider_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSnow_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Amargasaurus",EntryWeight=0.3,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))`

The issue I'm having is that the bloodstalkers are spawning all over the snow instead of the swamp, and the amargasaurus aren't spawning at all. I already did a wild dino wipe after applying the changes and waited a couple of hours to make sure the repopulation finished completely.

[jagged basalt]

You can’t edit spawn containers right now. It’s breaks them

[covert sierra]

Ah my bad, forgot to mention this is on Evolved, not Ascended.

[jagged basalt]

I should have seen it was Fjordur.. my bad

[stuck tinsel]

the button show player server not working for some people

you need to click on the checkbox and not the button + some people when click the checkbox nothing happen

F*ck nitrado

[tacit ether]

We're all hoping ARK will fix their fuck up and just make all servers visible.. like it was before they decided to separate self-hosting from garbage nitrado.. but it seems unlikely they'd listen to their playerbase lol

[inner sinew]

got to love this new update that screws over dedicated server hosters. so if they dont have the show player servers checkmarked we dedicated server hosters wont be shown in the unofficial ark list. only pple hosting servers from nitroda are showing in the list. and its off by default what i great freakin updte that wasnt needed

[sharp vessel]

Hi everyone !
I saw some messages before but I have the same problem and I don't know how to fix it, the server is update on 32.24 but in the game, it is on 32.21 and we can't join it, how to fix that ?

[vivid tartan]

Is anyone else having issues with the Nitrado server turning off wild Dino wipe

[tacit ether]

Nitrado is garbage and has more issues than WildCard.. Good luck with that

[inner sinew]

if u cant see ur server in the list u need to put a checkmark in the show player server to see ur own dedicated server or if ur a nitrado server hoster u need to uncheck the show player server to see ur nitrado server in the list

[sharp vessel]

Ye'p, I find an answer on the steam forum, dang, that's weird for a solution xD

[inner sinew]

they have seperated dedi hosters and nitrado hosters

[sharp vessel]

Tbh, I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but I take it, now it works lmao

[manic coral]

They made this intentional, its just a weird way to try to move people to nitrado servers...probably something with their contract i assume....

[inner sinew]

it is

[low dew]

Imagen paying a bunch of money for a garbage server box shared with 50 other people's servers nitrado just provides over priced trash

[brittle chasm]

nitrado wont restart my server no matter which baxkup i choose.. What to do?

[inner sinew]

going to need to make some reddit threads uner ps5 ark and xbox ark to make sure console players know about this

[manic coral]

I mean they back paddeled and allowed independent servers to be hosted only because of the huge shitstorm 😂

And now they try to make it right for nitrado i assume, or abide by their contract as good as they can

[low dew]

@brittle chasm put a ticket in with nitrado noone can help u here

[brittle chasm]

ok

[inner sinew]

im using windowsgsm to host my servers on my dedi but its annoying that they havent come out with a auto restart option.

i got to manually do it was looking at arkmanager

[low dew]

@inner sinew there are ways I'm told you can write a script to do it your get tools to do it maybe a macro ?

[inner sinew]

but its in experimental stages

[low dew]

I use a server manager from chr4one

[inner sinew]

make a bat and setup reschduler

[low dew]

Works quite well no auto restart tho

[inner sinew]

ah

[tacit ether]

was gunna say.. ChronosWS is developing and pefecting a manager

And he fixes mistakes nearly instantly if brough up by ppl 😛

[inner sinew]

ill look into it ive been trying out a few ark manager programs but windowsgsm was the easiest

[tacit ether]

There is a "server manager" discord server...

not sure if I can link it in here lol

[inner sinew]

dont think u can im in alot of discords i might be in the one ur talking about dm me it just in case

[tacit ether]

hehas a link to their website in there i believe

where u can DL the manager and use it

[inner sinew]

ya i was using them and testing i on another dedi i have

[tacit ether]

i haven't switched to using it yet.. but i will be prolly after the holidays.. im just self -hosting from batch files

[inner sinew]

was having issues tho when new updates drop for the game wasnt updateing properly so im holding offf on it

[tacit ether]

I got high hopes for ASM:A since ASM works well

[inner sinew]

so true asm is nice

[magic dagger]

is there a way in the INIs to turn off the auto tracking when you start taming?

[raven wigeon]

still no info on the Unknown error when trying to connect?

[nova dome]

nope

[frozen atlas]

hello, I have a small problem in my server. I have no height limit. When you fly too high, you die. The barrier does not exist

[austere mauve]

Why is my server on V32.24 but my Steam installation is on V32.23???

[full oak]

Hosting a server at Nitrado is bullshit, it's just bad.

[jagged basalt]

In the server menu, click on the Show Player Servers box and put a checkmark in that
Then hit refresh
then in the search field put in your server name
hit refresh again
It's a stupid menu bug that is causing all the troubles

[raven wigeon]

@jagged basalt ???? Thats for self hosted server's, if i tick that the server doesnt even show!
