@jagged basaltIt's something with the files, my server is offline and still shows on the list loooooool

@jagged basaltNvm ur right, WC brains are peanuts... who would think of doing this... jezzzz

[atomic adder]

Does the Ark dedicated server not save the world occasionally?

I had the server running for a few days and just tried quitting with a DoExit to see if it would save the world first, it does not. Seems I've rolled back at least 24 hours, too...

[manic coral]

Never recommended it

[supple ginkgo]

I turned off turkey trial, and my dedi stopped crash looping at least. Still not possible to see it in the browser though....

[violet tide]

have you tried Ark.UseServerList 0?

[harsh forge]

By default, the server will world save every 15 minutes

[supple ginkgo]

yes. its the same

[atomic adder]

Nevermind I'm an idiot

[harsh forge]

No, just learning. We've all been there 😉

[stuck tinsel]

what is Item dupe check ?

[unborn jetty]

you can place everything u need to auto save,shutdown an restart the server in a single bat file

use rcom to save and shutdown also to send messages to server about the restart xx minutes/seconds left

heres an example of restarting 1 server

TIMEOUT /T 300
rcon.exe -a 0.0.0.0:27030 -p PASSHERE command "ServerChat Server Updating And/Or Restarting in 10 Minutes."

[unborn jetty]

Does anyone know where atlas devkit is would like some assets from it

[summer hatch]

Anyone on console rented a server through nitrado? Can yall tell me about yall opinion/experience?

[maiden bramble]

so upset bought the game and every server i play gets slammed by an update

[tacit ether]

come play my server 🙂

[trail sundial]

Its the same servers for Computer. Nitrado servers are bad, but if you don't want to dive into port forwarding and learning basic server setup it may be your only option

[tacit ether]

port forwarding and setting up a dedi is stupid easy and takes 5 minutes lol

Just comes down to if you have a good enough PC to host it or not

[distant hearth]

or if your internet is good enough

[tacit ether]

doesn't take to much, i host 12 map ase cluster and ASA server from 2 pc's

[pseudo latch]

Anyone help a brother out, so i added the correct code for BBS to spawn in sauro dinos inventory but it's not working on ASA doea anyone know where this is happening?

[wise kindle]

Theres a lot of bugs right now, it may just be another bug in its own right.

[pseudo latch]

I did wonder 😕😕

[teal talon]

Anyone using the oficial Ark Dedicated server tool from steam?

[teal talon]

Are you using the official tool or using SteamCMD?

Could I ask you for the link also pls?

[tacit ether]

Steamcmd

[teal talon]

With SteamCMD, are you able to see your servers on unnofficial list? Tried every trick, I'm only able to log with ip connect

[tacit ether]

yep.. but only if you checkmark the box

[little carbon]

Curious if game servers need dedicated gpu or if I can use my old hp server with 12 cores to host?

[teal talon]

Which one? Player serverss?

[tacit ether]

ye .. can't see it unless you check mark the players server box

[teal talon]

Could you DM me your server manager took please?

[tacit ether]

which is stupid .. but that's wildcard.. fuckin shit up lol

[teal talon]

'aight... I haven't been able to have it show up anyways, even with that checked

[tacit ether]

sounds like you don't have your ports forwarded correctly then

[teal talon]

I did follow the official wiki though... opened 7777, 7778 et 27015 in both protocols already, and added a rule in my firewall

[tacit ether]

go to battlemetrics.. does it show your server online?

[teal talon]

Never tried actually, lemme start server & check

[teal talon]

It was indeed on and showing on battlemetrics when I was playing like 2h ago. Right now I just launched, it still appears offliine

[grim nova]

What version is your server currently running?

[indigo jolt]

Any idea when clustering will be enabled?

[solemn zephyr]

Likely when SE drops

[gleaming merlin]

Anyone else after yesterdays update experiencing a join fail? I double checked all settings and I see no issue and I see no update to the server settings

[red depot]

is it possible to ad the cryopods to unofficial with the official changes?

[rose jackal]

yes, server i'm playing was turned off until solving this issue, we see server but joining is impossible..and we decided together to turn i off to not get our baby dinos die

[sullen heath]

check "show Player Server" and refresh

[rose jackal]

it solving not seeing server problems, not 'failed to join' issue
and it was question about 'experiencing a join fail'

[sullen heath]

it also fixed failed join, because now you see the server with the correct versions number

at least it does for all our comunity server people...

[rose jackal]

what if server is updated to 32.27 and you see 32.27 on server list, how it will solve that?

becouse then will inform admin about tries but we running out on possible runs of server

to not get ous whole server rhynio raise

to die

[sullen heath]

idk, i can only say that no one on our server has problems to join that way

[rose jackal]

ok, well at least we can allow ourselfs for another 2 tries to run still

ok, issue is different becouse they tried it

[sullen heath]

uhm... the Server cant be 32.27.... its 32.24

just checked

do you also type in the first few letters of the server name?

[rose jackal]

my mistake, you right with number

yes, we seeing it but cannot join but we found issues as i contacted with admin

[sullen heath]

oh what was the issue?

[rose jackal]

there is something with ip...battlemetrics is seeing diferent

[sullen heath]

hm

[rose jackal]

that really is

he decided to use informatic help for it tomorrow

[atomic adder]

I'm trying to run Ark SA server in a windows container. It runs fine, unless I add mods. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I assume that Wildcard is using some specific tool to fetch the mods and the windows base image doesn't have that tool baked in.

[fading timber]

i dont understands how t hey made finding servers even worse after a second announcement they claimed theyve fixed it

my server is absoultely visible i am running on my local yet now i cant ever see it at all and have to force join with console

[sullen heath]

blame Nitrado

[fading timber]

it's more them bowing to nitrado than nitrado, theyre just benefitting from it

nitrado isnt doing the patches

[sullen heath]

Nitrad may force them....

contract.... you know ^^

[fading timber]

well, still their fault for getting into any agreement where they could be forced to do stuff

the fact theyve added a button for player servers and it has to be clicked every time shows theyre making it take more steps and be more difficult

[distant hearth]

dunno if you played ase, but it was the norm , patch, then 3 after to fix the broken patch

[fading timber]

ya ive played snice day 1 haha

[distant hearth]

lolz then you know the game wc plays, rush shit out , breaks more shit than it fixed, 8 years later still broken hehehe

[fading timber]

ik but still annoying especially after all this time and this just feels more malicious than it does accidently

[teal talon]

32.21 apparently. I run the most common SteamCMD command to update so it should be latest available no?

[sullen heath]

actual server is 32.24

[teal talon]

Is there any way I can update through steamCMD then otherwise than the regular .bat?

[sullen heath]

that i dont know, not the admin of our server

[analog chasm]

Anyone else's Server Command Line Args just disappear?

[lavish stone]

i had a question how would someone update a mod with the bat file as server ? ( never did it)

[vagrant ledge]

It will auto update when you start the server with said bat file

[lavish stone]

ooh okay thanks alot for that info ;)

[low dew]

@indigo jolt in march

[normal hazel]

hey after updating my server i can no longer login in local or online and the ports are forwared it get's stuck at booting

[distant hearth]

#patch-notes

[normal hazel]

i mean even with the command open: and my ip local no longer works

[lavish stone]

your game is that updated too? ^^

you see other servers with the updated version:

[distant hearth]

if the server is stuck in boot loop thats another issue

[normal hazel]

yes

but it worked fine but after the update i can no longer login locally or online

it just kick me back to the menu

[distant hearth]

what sort or server~?your own or nitrado?

[normal hazel]

dedicated sorry

i forgot to mention

[half frost]

Why these new update don’t let me find my server ?

[distant hearth]

ok im only used nitrado stuff, but theres alot people in here run there own, im sure they can assist , more information you can provide the better though .

[low dew]

@half frost click sort player servers

failgames has filters to filter nitrado servers from our servers

[normal hazel]

oki thanks again !

[distant hearth]

@low dew failgames love it

[low dew]

@proven prawn cuz ya know any ideas latley comming outta failgames office lacks in intelligence

[half frost]

9074 just banished for me

[low dew]

if your talking about official servers @half frost your in the wrong channel

[half frost]

Oh ok my bad thanks 🙏

[low dew]

it does say UNofficial help

[half frost]

[normal hazel]

well now i have a black screen ugh

[clear bronze]

I'm getting connection timeout on my server. I just got a new router and I'm pretty sure I setup the ports correctly but no one can connect. Help please

[low dew]

@clear bronze have you tried direct connecting to it

[clear bronze]

Not yet how do i do that

[distant hearth]

double check server and client are fully updated, only time i got blackscreen was if i wasnt on latest

[normal hazel]

same here everything was working fine i think it might be a bug

[normal hazel]

i will try this again thanks !

[low dew]

@clear bronze find your server on battlemetrics grab the ip then in the main menu of ark open the console ~ and type open ip:port and hit enter do it twice

@clear bronze then talk to me again if it lets you in to the point of seeing your character and if it boots you 30 seconds later

[normal hazel]

i get this src\vstdlib\strtools.cpp (2923) : Assertion Failed: V_RemoveDotSlashes failed for "..\F:\Ascended".

[clear bronze]

Ok

[low dew]

@clear bronze make sure you dont have a password on your server also if its a nitrado server no one can really help you here

[clear bronze]

Nah its not nitrado

[low dew]

kk good man

[clear bronze]

and i do have a password will that mess things up?

[low dew]

yes

I removed the password. And I type 'open ip:7777' right?

[wanton hinge]

How are you hosting your server? Though steam dedicated or steamcmd? Are you using a batch file to start the server, if so please share the batch file in this chat.

[normal hazel]

i still get a black screen even after checking for an update

[clear bronze]

steamcmd. I could never figure out how to edit the launch perimeters for steam.
start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=Chaosbin?ServerPassword=4567?ServerAdminPassword=admin?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?Multihome=<174.108.xx.xx>?MaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye -crossplay -multihome -automanagedmods -mods=927131,914844,916922,926956,900062,929420,908148,930494,929506,931874,928988,912902,931047,927083"

[wanton hinge]

If the server is hosted on the same pc, you will need to go to your cmd prompt, type ipconfig, then use the IPv4 address to connect. A command like this open 192.168.x.x:7777

You shouldn't be using Multihome or QueryPort.

Automanagermods doesn't do anything for ASA either.

[clear bronze]

I was trying to enable crossplay and mods and people just told me many different things

[wanton hinge]

Crossplay is enabled by default.

[clear bronze]

Would be more up your ally for a startup

Try that first and we'll see if people can connect. If you don't mind passing me the server name and I'll try on my end.

[clear bronze]

Alright

[wanton hinge]

Keep the password off for now while we test this

[covert sierra]

Any help with this?

[quartz pewter]

It would be great if people stopped reading howto's from ASE and applying the same logic to ASA. Might solve alot of everyones problems, just saying.

[clear bronze]

I agree, but I look up how to setup an ASA server and it feeds me information from ASE.

[wanton hinge]

A lot of things from ASE are still working for ASA. You can't blame people for trying.

There's also an entire wiki page that goes over everything regarding what works for ASE/ASA in a nice laid out chart

[quartz pewter]

Just that command alone, ?listen is not what people think it is. MaxPlayers is now WinLiveMaxPlayers

I could only imagine what the INI looks like

[clear bronze]

ini is the same

[wanton hinge]

My startup is scuffed.

[clear bronze]

Server is called "Chaosbin"

[quartz pewter]

Check the pinned messages for the server configuration wiki article, I would post it but this discord is full of whiny mods that have an authority complex.

[wanton hinge]

It's more of the automod just blocks all linKs

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[quartz pewter]

No the whiny mod came in and scolded me for sending someone to the steamdb site the other night

[wanton hinge]

I mean if I get scolded for posting their wiki information from the pins, I'll laugh

[quartz pewter]

I did.

[wanton hinge]

Connection timed out, I think it's your ports.

Let me query your server through the EOS API

[clear bronze]

Hmmm okay, also it seems my mods stopped working

[wanton hinge]

You probably just need to fix the -mods or whatever in the startup

[clear bronze]

and how would I do that?

[wanton hinge]

Post your startup again

[quartz pewter]

lmfao

[proper flame]

ok in even shorter - getting host connection timeout since 2 days or so ago, connecting through open IP:7777, dedicated steamCMD server. Sending bat file in next message so auto mod hopefully wont cry.
Any idea why its not updating the server? Still on 31.37 based on Server console

paste your entire launch string, replace the password with **imnottelling **instead of brackets.

rocket surgery

errrr

[clear bronze]

Do you need to have anything else to enable the mods? I have pretty much this exact same setup now but the mods are noot working @quartz pewter

[wanton hinge]

Apparently it won't let me say that word

[quartz pewter]

so much was wrong with that. culture was eng instead of en

[wanton hinge]

Is the culture even needed for english lol

[quartz pewter]

no

but a website told everyone too at one point back in 69

and now, its the new bigfoot.

[wanton hinge]

Check the little box for Show Player Servers

[quartz pewter]

@willow crown welcome to tech support my name is bob. your in queue, your number is 1541151412321254.25.

[proper flame]

yes sadly. had some very weird german english mixups without using en. will try that command line and will see if it still wont update. weirdly enough it worked just fine until recently

[willow crown]

Thanks Bob

[quartz pewter]

@proper flame here is my assumption on what is going on. The greatest gaming company in the world is changing things internally that are conflicting now with old commands no longer in the game.

[wanton hinge]

Did you check it then hit the refresh button again?

Sorry have to ask. 😛

[quartz pewter]

When you use things that dont belong there, the greatest gaming company in the world doesnt expect them to be there.

[wanton hinge]

Ruben what's the name of your server

[clear bronze]

@quartz pewter @wanton hinge I have -NoBattleEye and -mods in the command line but this comes up in the launch of the sever. "Server Initializing with BattlEye Anti-Cheat Protection. If you do not wish to use BattlEye, please launch with -NoBattlEye"

I don't think the "-" things are working

[quartz pewter]

@clear bronze let me see your command one more time.

I got it hold on

[clear bronze]

TheIsland_WP?SessionName=Chaosbin?ServerAdminPassword=Private?Port=7777 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -NoBattlEye -mods=927131,914844,916922,926956,900062,929420,908148,930494,929506,931874,928988,912902,931047,927083

oop, lemme see if that does anything tho because its been doing this for a second. the mods not working

use that one exactly like that

[proper flame]

still host connection timeout and server console saying im at version 31.37 ,_,

[quartz pewter]

See if it works.

[clear bronze]

Alright

[quartz pewter]

@proper flame update your server

[proper flame]

it should. got a server updating line in that bat file
start SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ..\server\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[quartz pewter]

It doesnt seem to be. lol

[clear bronze]

Nah, mods are disabled. Someone told me to use a third party launcher which had been working but I switched back to the .bat because i've been getting connection errors.

[proper flame]

well yeah xD
But why cause it worked before. or do i need to add anything else in there? used that guide thats pinned in here

[hot wolf]

i fount putting servername and passwords in like SessionName="Chaosbin" is good for spaces

[quartz pewter]

@clear bronze check all the mod id's. I dont know if the server craps on itself if it sees an invalid ID. I would imagine the greatest gaming company in the world would put a failsafe in for that. but you never know AMIRITE???

[clear bronze]

It worked on the third party launcher. But this just does not want to work. But yeah i wouldnt doubt that would also be the case

[quartz pewter]

You know what I just realized? AI is destroying the planet.

I just saw at least 5 articles, with guides on how to do an ascension server. All with your command worded exactly the same.

All with the malformed launch command still using stuff that ASE used but ASA doesnt, like the queryport.

[static saffron]

What is my best option for starting a server for just 2-3 people? I don't need 20 slots so the Nitrado prices are kinda crazy for what I need lol

[quartz pewter]

@static saffron run your own.

[static saffron]

Like the option where they would be tethered to my location?

[sullen heath]

or look for a good community server

[normal condor]

Hey, I had the same update code in my bat file and also couldn't update last weekend and a user on here, Stolenvw, suggested this: " delete the appmanifest_2430930.acf file in server install dir/steamapps and run the steamcmd update again" and then I updated manually in steamcmd instead of using the bat file and that fixed my issue last week! Unfortunatly I'm now stuck on version 32.12 and can't update again and don't have that file to delete to fix it anymore 😅

[quartz pewter]

no, just run the dedicated server on your own. its free on steam obviously.

[tardy pine]

If you have an old (decently powered) laptop or gaming rig laying around, you can run a dedicated server without tethers from your house for friends. Apart from the electricity cost which is marginal, it's totally free

[supple ginkgo]

never delete files. Rename them until you are sure :S

[quartz pewter]

@supple ginkgo not with steamcmd, it has zero issue with running and healing itself from just the main executable.

It needs no man

[normal condor]

Lol well I didn't delete it, I moved it to my desktop so I still have it... I guess I could try throwing it back in the right place and see if it magically updates 🤣😂

But since it was preventing me from updating in the first place, I figures if steam cmd needed it it would reinstall it, and it didn't

[wanton hinge]

I rather not expose my home network to people. 🙂

[proper flame]

haha, give me a couple mins, ill try^^
Its updating something at least now

[quartz pewter]

@proper flame This will blow your mind, the SERVER downloads pre rendered videos, that it never uses. You know, just to waste time and bandwidth.

[normal condor]

It did allow me to update last weekend by removing that file, but now I can't update THIS weekend so it may not be the best fix ha ha

[tardy pine]

Copy and backup the entire folder contents of ArkSA\ShooterGame\Saved Basically all of your configs and the game save. Delete the ark sa server and reinstall it. 100% chance to fix the problem

[quartz pewter]

check out the ShooterGame > Content > Movies directory. 4.77gb of pure time waster.

[teal talon]

To fix the same issue, I reinstalled like mentioned here then updated through SteamCMD directly instead of bat file and it fixed. Now on v32.24

[distant hearth]

not sur eif anyone picked this up but , -NoBattleEye is spelt wrong in that command

[quartz pewter]

I bet you its not.

[distant hearth]

its supposed to miss the e?

[tardy pine]

Need 2 E's bud. -NoBattlEye aint cutting it

[quartz pewter]

BattlEye is a name brand, not proper... but ok.

[proper flame]

it just downloaded that file again^^
I guess ill just reinstall the server

[wanton hinge]

It's BattlEye not Battle Eye

[quartz pewter]

lul

[tardy pine]

Yeah I guess your right, the wiki has it as "-NoBattlEye"

[quartz pewter]

Phew, im relieved.

[wanton hinge]

The brand is Battleye

Just a play on words from their end

[tardy pine]

glad I could help, didn't want you to stress on it for too long

[distant hearth]

sry i just randonly noticed it, i dont actually know the command , just looked weird to me tbh as i was catching up after being afk

[quartz pewter]

@wanton hinge I think your wrong, I was told definitely by two different people.

[plush geyser]

did something happen again where the unofficial servers with mods are not showing up again with the latest patch?

[tardy pine]

and they were scholars at that

[quartz pewter]

@plush geyser Yes, the greatest gaming company in the world had another go at learning to code.

[distant hearth]

yep they added a nice player only button thats half broken

[tardy pine]

only half?

[quartz pewter]

@tardy pine it works perfectly fine, you cant connect to the servers anyway why bother showing them?

[plush geyser]

okay thank you

[quartz pewter]

If you think about it, they are making it less stressful for everyone.

[wanton hinge]

It's originally from Battlefield. Hence they did BattlEye.

[quartz pewter]

@wanton hinge it should be called rootkit. imho

[wanton hinge]

Lmao

Nah that's warden

[clear bronze]

Okay I have a question. If I wanted to move everything from SteamCMD to the steam launcher server how would I do that?

[quartz pewter]

kernel level access to your entire machine to stop people from wallhacking in a game that doesnt stay running for more than 45 minutes where your body stays right where it crashes. Let that sink in.

[wanton hinge]

That was Warden for Blizzard xD

[tardy pine]

Just copy the saved folder over from the steamcmd install to the steam install

[wanton hinge]

All anticheats are really intrusive.

[clear bronze]

Alright, and how do I configure what's on the .bat to the steam launcher? Like server name, pass, and mods?

[wanton hinge]

It's literally the same thing.

[quartz pewter]

@wanton hinge thats battleye also, warden couldnt catch honorbuddy either.

[tardy pine]

That should all be saved in the config files at this point. but you can still add command line arguments in a steam game

[wanton hinge]

Blizzard had to nerf Warden because of how intrusive it was. EAC is pretty bad too

[quartz pewter]

warden was good for catching cheatengine lol

[tardy pine]

@clear bronze I think in steam UI they call them launch options. there are guides on how to modify them

[tardy pine]

Not better then EAC, EAC is boss

😄

[quartz pewter]

You know whats easier than using SteamCMD for the updating?

[tardy pine]

I wrote a discord bot to handle it all for me so, that's easier long term

[quartz pewter]

Using steam, dragging a shortcut to your desktop and putting your launch command in that. Then let the steam app worry about it.

[wanton hinge]

I use pterodactyl. Its just apart of my crontabs

[quartz pewter]

Yea. please dont get people on that road.

Imagine that problem solving that would ensue

[normal condor]

pretty sure the file is SUPPOSED to be there, mine just got corrupted and thats why it wouldn't update last weekend, and it not redownloading when it updated might be why it won't update now 😅 . I'm trying the reinstalling and moving over the save folder thing that MoonDoggie suggested now, hopefully that works for both of us 😁

[clear bronze]

Is there a replacement for the .bat in steam?

[boreal sluice]

So needless to say after all I am reading here... it's a WC issue that my server is not showing up, it has mods, etc etc and we have to wait for a fix?

[supple ginkgo]

pretty sure yes. I just downloaded a fresh server with nothing custom, and nobody can see that either

[boreal sluice]

oh hell...

[wanton hinge]

Rented or self hosted

Nitrado servers and player hosted servers are separated by a filter. You need to hit the "Show Player Servers" filter at the bottom right.

[molten coral]

and when we search it by name and still doesnt show, whats the answer to that?

[normal condor]

Thank you sooooooooo much dude! This worked! I'm up to date, up and running, and all my stuff is there! Also, now I know I only have to save backups of the Saved folder in shooter game and not the WHOLE server folder like I have been 😅 So my hard drive thanks you too ha ha

he's a wizard. He cant help it

[boreal sluice]

But his name wasn't HARRY

[supple ginkgo]

xD

[molten coral]

I was just bored

For your information it’s Gandalf to you

[wanton hinge]

Gandalf the Repeater

[boreal sluice]

It was about to be "annoying" in half another second lol

[distant hearth]

lol

[quartz pewter]

Man looks like everyone is going to have to flock over to nitrado to play the game they bought with their friends. Luckily there is a way. Amazing that Nitrado hit that streak of luck!!! What would we do without them.

[molten coral]

That’s a fire name Ngl

[sullen heath]

idk our community server works fine

[supple ginkgo]

but have i messed something here, or am I going insane?

[quartz pewter]

@supple ginkgo no, they seperated the paying customers from the surfs

[wanton hinge]

Not sure mate. Can't really speculate unless we got more info.

[boreal sluice]

Same that filter doesnt work for us or ours either

[supple ginkgo]

The servers been running for over a motnh with no isses until yesterday. Annoying, and the players are going nuts

[wanton hinge]

What's the name of your server Ging3r

[sullen heath]

not a single one of our people wasnt able to join after making sure to check "show player server"

[boreal sluice]

message is blocked if i tryt o tell you

[wanton hinge]

I also wanted to mention you have to hit the little box inside Show Player Servers

The button itself doesn't work. You have to make sure to click the tiny little square and make sure its checked off

[supple ginkgo]

yean its amazing UI work right there

[boreal sluice]

but seeing that update yesterday for servers in #patch-notes from Ced I can assure thats what did it

[distant hearth]

like i dunno bout conspicary but making the button work if u only hit that tiny white square is kinda suss

[boreal sluice]

did all that 😦

[wanton hinge]

Try messaging me now

I keep forgetting I turn off DMs

[tardy pine]

Glad to help!

[boreal sluice]

yeah i hit every little part of that box and its a NOPE

[sullen heath]

hm...maybe make a game file verification

[tardy pine]

check the box, hit refresh, uncheck the box, hit refresh, if it doesn't show, recheck the box, hit refresh... it's painful

[proper flame]

yep, setting up everything again also worked for me. hope we wont have to do that all the time tho xD

[wanton hinge]

Moon send me your server name

[tardy pine]

Mine is working fine, did you want to play on it?

[wanton hinge]

Sorry not you, I meant @supple ginkgo

[tardy pine]

Mine has always updated ok so I don't think it's an issue with the game files or update process, you guys probably had some corrupt files somewhere.

[normal condor]

Someone last week said that using the update command in the bat file sometimes causes issues because it tries to start the server before it finishes updating. I'm switching to using SteamCMD for updates from now on for sure 😅 Just to be on the safe side

[tardy pine]

Ahh ok, so that depends on how you do it.

If you have a batch file like this

start startarksaserver blah blah blah```
then the update will start and then the game will start while the update runs and that can corrupt files... easy fix if you know batch code

put the batch file together with the ***call*** command in place of the ***start*** command
```call steamcmd update blah blah blah

call startarksaserver blah blah blah```

if you do it that way the operations fire in the same cmd window and the update **will** finish before the game tries to start

[normal condor]

I was definitely doing the start command lol

[proper flame]

oh that would make sense. the guide pinned here has both in one file, both with the start at the beginning

[normal condor]

thanks for the lesson! I didn't know anything about the call command lol

[tardy pine]

This is the batch file I ran before I moved all that in to javascript. notice the "goto" function at the end, this sends it back to the ":first" marker in the code when the ark server exits. so if you want to update the game you just run "doexit" from rcon or the in game console, and the server will close, auto update, and reboot without you having to do anything at all

:first

::Updates the server
call D:\Ark-SA-Update.bat

::Starts the server
call D:\Ark-SA-Start.bat

goto first
exit

:: comments out the the code so things like "::Updates the server" dont actually run in the cmd window

[tardy pine]

yeah thats no good, hopefully they update the pin. or if they pin my message i'll clean it up to be more instructional

[proper flame]

just confirming, changed both start for call and it updated correctly

awesome, i guess many people will have this issue xD

[normal condor]

Thank you so much!!!

[tardy pine]

np

[lament willow]

I've set up a serv and voice chat works but radios just don't seem to work any help please?

[worn hill]

on my cmd server it says ARK version 32.24 but on the game it says 32.23 is that why my server not showing up? i don't see a update on steam?

[plush geyser]

may have to click on the bottom right corner that says show player servers that is what I had to do with mine in order to see it if this is for unofficial server

[worn hill]

it is for unoffical. last time i clicked on it the server showed up but now it doesn't. i've tried to change the server name and everything but there's nothing there.

[jovial iron]

Why is it everytime I delete server password on nitrado and then I save changes the password comes back? I don’t want my server to be locked. I want anyone to join if they want.

[distant hearth]

are u deleting it in ini or general settings ?

[tardy pine]

shut the server down and then change it. the game is probably overwriting the config file when it closes

[alpine shard]

How do I make unofficial servers visible again?

[jovial iron]

Okay, my server was already shutdown. this time i just deleted the password without saving and then i just turn on the server it still shows password as blank this might do it.

[jovial iron]

also couldnt find a server password line in the game.ini or gameusersettings.ini that would have been an easy fix. lol

[distant hearth]

with nitrado servers , always shutdown ,wait 5 mins, change general settings first save it. then change any ini and save it. wait a minute, restart. foing this worked 99.9* time over last 5 or so years ive dealt with them

[jovial iron]

ah thanks! i did not know this. This time i was able to go in my server without typing a password. lol

[uneven flame]

My character is gone, I have checked every map

[barren flume]

I want to setup a server through a server rental company is nitrado the only choice still?

[distant hearth]

for ark ascended , yes

[sullen heath]

if you know how its done, a root server also works

[pseudo jolt]

Could use help with my new server please and thank you

Hey anyone have a nitrado server just got one and for some reason it was for primitive so I reset the entire thing now I can't find xbox server for game and I just want to player on survival

[distant hearth]

nitrado server? is it for ark ascended or ark evolved? i will presume evolved since asa doesnt have primitive plus

[pseudo jolt]

Yes evolved sorry I forgot to put that

[distant hearth]

what have u done so far other than install the game on it ?

[jovial iron]

how do i make myself owner of my server?

[pseudo jolt]

@distant hearth I changed settings to what we wanted and I was able to find my server I went to play but it said I needed to change to primitive and I went to settings unclick primitive game play and now I can't even find my server

[jovial iron]

like in-game

i remember there was a way to do this so i dont have to put the admin pass everytime

[distant hearth]

its been a while since i di dit on ase, did you set it up as pve or pvp, i think you can chnage ase search options for both, try this incase u set it wrong

[distant hearth]

i never knew a setting like that, always had to use admin password in ase , far as i know

[jovial iron]

oh okay. i think the difference was back then i was running a dedicated server, i could make certain people admin.

[distant hearth]

pretty sure even then u had to put the password in, i might be wrong though , my memory is terrible

[jovial iron]

so is mine. but now that you mention it, i think you're right. lol

[pseudo jolt]

@distant hearth just tried changing those settings since it's just me and the family and the server still won't show up turning server off and on since changes

[jovial iron]

I do wish there was way to make the game darker at night.

[distant hearth]

here is how i always did nitrado servers,
turn off, wait 5 mins .
make all the change si wanted in general settings, hit the save button, wait a minute ,
go to advanced view an make any ini changes i wanyed ,saving the game user and game ini after each was edited,
wait a minute.
restart server , wait 5 mins so the listings can update an show the server

sry for typos, its 1 am an had a few drinks 🙂

[haughty eagle]

trying to set up my first server for asa, but getting the eror VCRUNTIME140_1.dll is missing...

anyone had this, and/or know what i might need to do?

[pseudo jolt]

@distant hearth I'm In sadly ill be loosing alot of work from non dedicated server but I did move me and husband's survivors to save and my rex

[distant hearth]

you shud be able to move the save file over , unless it got corrupted. you wud have google how an watch a few youtube vids but it is possible via ftp

ive not done it from non dedicated, but have from single player to nitrado and nitrado to single pplayer . it was long time ago so dont rem specifics but it is possible

[runic hull]

there a trick to get the server to show in the regular unofficial list besides paying for nitrashdo server?

[distant hearth]

u done th eplayer server button thing?

[runic hull]

yeah, its just a really poor system

[wanton hinge]

Look at the wiki. You have to set an admin file.

This time around you use your EOS ID

[spring echo]

If I enabled events in Nitrado for ASA, the event rates don't override custom rates, right? I can't really remember.

[dreamy venture]

Does anyone know the ingame codes for removing these?
Metal Behemoth Cellar Door
Tek Behemoth Cellar Door

[haughty eagle]

vcruntime.dll missing even with the visual c++ redist installed and reinstalled many times

wtf is going on? what am i missing?

the file is in my system32 folder

so its not missing

[spring echo]

Ah. Turkey trial DOES override custom server rates. wtf

[solemn zephyr]

You can use adminlisturl but use the eos ID instead of Steam ID

[fresh python]

Hey all... Started a server today and for some reason dinos aren't leveling as soon as they are tamed like they should. Tamed a 15 doed and it's gotten no levels after hitting rocks. What would this be? TIA

[drowsy tiger]

Did anyone else have their harvesting rates reset on their server? If so how do I fix this?

[zenith sundial]

Anyone have a server my buddy and I can join?

[random obsidian]

Ark101 its PVE

[zenith sundial]

Anything I should know of like rates or starter mounts?

[random obsidian]

5x harvest 10x Taming no starter dinos

[tardy pine]

@zealous aurora Are you or the team able to share the URL for official server small tribe dynamic configs?

it sure would be handy to help keep up with official event rates

[zenith sundial]

Yeah doesn't come up

[brave lynx]

the fact that favorited servers dont show is such a sick joke to ark community, or that button is saved. unreal

[humble tiger]

Favorite servers never saving and also all the unofficial servers don't show at 1 time. Refresh gives a new list each time. Not even stating the fact "show player servers" is now a setting turned off by default... wtf they doing??

[sullen heath]

trying to kill unofficials

[wanton hinge]

My favorites work fine.

[sullen heath]

until a major versions update....

[celest halo]

so did mine today and my self host server showed with out checking "show player servers"

[wanton hinge]

It's like 50/50 at this point with it.

The developers need to just scrap the whole segregated bull with the server list.

[celest halo]

there alot of things they need to do but they been doing most of them for 8 years with ASE so not holding my breath on them changing

[wanton hinge]

Like it's one thing to have a official and unofficial list, but why does the unofficial list have to be Nitrado servers then player hosted on a small activated filter.

The button doesn't even work. You have to click the small box within. lol

[nimble talon]

Because Nitrado are jackasses, doubt it was WC that did that by choice. seems absurd. Stupid AF to use Epic's trash system too when Steam already works well.

[wanton hinge]

Only thing I disagree with in that statement is EOS being bad lol

[celest halo]

does steam networking even do full crossplay

[wanton hinge]

Prob not

[celest halo]

i dont think it does either, i run a valheim server also and when you turn crossplay on for that it switches from steam network to playfab

[tardy pine]

It doesn't, matchmaking and relay servers are required for any kind of crossplay with steam networking. And because of Fortnite, EOS is designed specifically for crossplay

[fading timber]

NOOBLETS just posted a video on everything ive been saying lol

theyre intentionally doing this with the servers

[wanton hinge]

Yeah I just saw the video. It's such a stupid change.

[fading timber]

^^^

[wanton hinge]

THe game doesn't even remember the button either. You have to check it each time to find the server. lol

[fading timber]

8 years it has worked fine now they wanna make some BS up about why they need a convoluted process to login in now

[maiden bramble]

ANYONE got an unofficial server up thats not hella modded

[fading timber]

yes

[wanton hinge]

We went from having 30 players online at any given time to just straight dead because of these changes.

[maiden bramble]

name?

[fading timber]

big same yo

[maiden bramble]

dm it

[wanton hinge]

Most complaints are people saying they can't find the server. I wonder why. lol

[fading timber]

i had a bunch of german players who decided not to join the discord and now theyre all gone and i cant even let them know how to force login or anything

[lapis lagoon]

Any1 know any ps4 servers not hella boosted

[proud violet]

So if the events are mods now (unofficial) does that mean when they are over and the mod removed then all of the stuff from the mod will be gone as well? Before when the events ended you still had the chibis and clothing cosmetics and everything. Just wondering if I’m wasting time even trying to kill these turkeys lol

[wise kindle]

Cosmetics stay. Only the turkeys, wishbones and candy disappears when you remove Turkey Trials.

[supple ginkgo]

chibis aswell

[peak sapphire]

Each official event mod will come with a patch of the goodies getting added to the base game so that they aren’t lost once the mod is unistalled.

[frank egret]

thers a file in the patch that tracks if your nitrado or not, anyone find it yet so we can all delete or modify it?

[frank egret]

@proven prawn yall need to fix this problem now, this is straight up horse sh*t that its even a thing

tired of this garbage, yall just shi*t on us ppl that want to play on our own stuff our own way and its time for this crap to end. we know what is happening and why knock it the f**k off

probably gonna get banned for speaking my mind but i dont care anymore

we all need to quit being nice at this point

[vital linden]

I have 'AllowFlyerCarryPvE=true' on my PVE server, to allow for players to carry wild or their own tamed dinos with flyers. Is there a way to maintain this, but also prevent people from picking players, too?

[frank egret]

afaik its all or none

[vital linden]

That's what I think, too. Just wanted to ask around.

[lapis lagoon]

Where do I find old ark unofficial servers? With a wipe

[frank egret]

old?

like ASE?

[uncut talon]

Hello, could someone tell me how it is that the number of items is not displayed on the storage tek? Is there a line of code to add or a parameter to check on Nitrado? Thanks in advance

[supple ginkgo]

hold the use button on the storage box and enable it

thats how it was on evolved at least

[uncut talon]

I'm on ASA, I don't think I've seen a button like that

[frank egret]

should just work, it does on my server at least

[uncut talon]

I think it must be a nitrado parameter but I can't find it

[frank egret]

the fact its a core game structure it shouldnt be configurable at all so...

unless its a modded structure

[peak sapphire]

Hold Triangle on the storage box

[uncut talon]

no it is not a moded structure, it is basic tek storage

[uncut talon]

ok and then I have to go where

[frank egret]

then there is no toggling it on or off in settings other then the radial menu

[uncut talon]

ok, thanks anyway for your help

[frank egret]

dumb question but did you put anything in it yet?

@uncut talon

[uncut talon]

Yep

[frank egret]

hmm

so it shows the item icon but no numbers, interesting

[uncut talon]

Yes that's it

[frank egret]

is it just one container your trying to use or multiple?

thats pretty odd bug to have too

[tacit ether]

so is winterwonderland active? or was teh post just a tease and they aren't releasing it for awhile

[frank egret]

tease

[wise kindle]

The post says the 21st.

[uncut talon]

Multiple container

[carmine cradle]

anyone narrowed down a possible cause for overspawning in caves?

[frank egret]

garbage coding?

[drowsy tiger]

Are the harvest rates just broken or does x5 not work?

[frank egret]

have mine set to 5x and it seems to work

[drowsy tiger]

I have it set in both config files and the general settings and it still isn't adjusting...

[frank egret]

single player?

[drowsy tiger]

Was working yesterday to

yes singleplayer settings

[frank egret]

have fun with that, ive spent hours trying to get settings to work right

[fresh python]

same

[drowsy tiger]

... Spend more time fixing the server then playing on it

[frank egret]

if your in single player then your not actually running a server

[fresh python]

i can't get beacon to download correctly either oof lol

[frank egret]

setting thing sin SP is different then on a server

[drowsy tiger]

I switch it back and forth

[frank egret]

between single and nondedicated?

[fresh python]

i'm setting up an unofficial

[frank egret]

is it the server side that wont download it right?

[drowsy tiger]

bUseSinglePlayerSettings=True

[frank egret]

ah

thats probably whats throwing it off, you have a conflict somewhere

[fresh python]

it starts to import right after i downloaded it and it won't get past that without just closing

database updates

[frank egret]

very confused what your talking about

[drowsy tiger]

It differs the stat multipliers I know but SP should make the rates higher idk

[frank egret]

@fresh python is it in game thats doing it or when your installing it on the server?

[hearty wedge]

Yeah, if you're going to spend the time to tweak your settings, I'd highly highly recommend turning bUseSinglePlayerSettings off and just hand-editing the values you want. Having magic multipliers all over the place that you can't see just makes things a nightmare

[frank egret]

yea and changing rates like that after the save has been live for a bit makes things weird

[fresh python]

I am talking about beacon for PC. Basically the only reason I wanted it was to fix the dino exp not being right for the level. It wasn't gaining xp so I tweaked numbers. Now for a 211 argy it's showing xp is 53/60

Shouldn't that be higher? Also trying to figure out how to increase mating speed

[lapis lagoon]

Yea

[fresh python]

Not the intervals but quicker mating time

[frank egret]

um use the unoffical server filter in game

[lapis lagoon]

It's mostly dead servers

[frank egret]

you lookin gfor pvp or pve?

[lapis lagoon]

Pvp

[frank egret]

and ive found some decent servers on ase, just sort by player count

[frank egret]

211 argy?

[lapis lagoon]

Ok thanks n yk the server names u found I might check it out

[frank egret]

the exp starts from the level of post tame/hatched so yea it is possible a 211 argy has that kind exp numbers

[frank egret]

not off the top of my head theyre rather lengthy

also depends on what kinda rates your looking for

[lapis lagoon]

Ok

[frank egret]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#[ServerSettings]

[true hawk]

damn thanks i been spam clicking that shit and restarting my game for an hour now

[delicate sage]

Well, setting up the 3000G as a test for running Ark SE server, I will say it seems to do OK. The cpu (apu) will hit max utilization for a brief moment when loading in, but then falls back down to well under 5%. I’m going to run a Killowatt meter on it for a few days, but I thought it weird that Core Temp reports the cpu using less than 5 watts even under load? It’s running on a 80 gold PSU, so hopefully it’ll be super power efficient.

[wintry spire]

Hi. Is there still a problem?

[languid forge]

People hosting using Steamcmd is there any way to setup automatic server reboots?

[lavish stone]

you could use the taskmanager in a way to do so i guess , or google there are plenty ways :)

[languid forge]

I have researched and unable to find an answer that is why I am here.

[lavish stone]

you running on windows or linux?

[languid forge]

Windows

[lavish stone]

i googled 5 mins, already found a few scrips, want me to send it to you in dm?

not quite from ark, but you can convert it to ark etc, or just google ''steam cmd auto reboot servers''

[languid forge]

I was searching wrong it seems, but I still do not understand how to add this to my bat file. (first time running)

[lavish stone]

you might have to put it either in the cmd folder or in the ark folder

and sorry i cant help better, i normally dont use cmd either, i will use a tool soon for this.

[proven fern]

anyone else have issues with their nitrado server crashing when someone starts a boss fight?

[fading timber]

it's exhausting trying to counter and make up for their intentional and malicious actions

[north escarp]

Anyone knows how to make bosses harder?

[fading timber]

cant

[north escarp]

They just stupid easy with a perfect tame 0 challenge.

[fading timber]

it's a hardcoded thing and bosses scale with wild difficulty, only way is to prevent high cap saddles and keep HP low, but that's not really hard just they take more dmg

[fading timber]

i solo bosses with wild unbred tames and lowcap saddles it's way too easy

[north escarp]

My buddy did the boss for the first time the other day and he was like “we spend so much time collecting all the stuff we needed and this boss fight took 3min…”

[fading timber]

yup

[proven fern]

when i activate an event mod on an unofficial server, for example the winter wonderland mod when that event starts, does it affect the rates at all? or does it just add the event items and creatures

[fading timber]

i farm alpha monkey for element mostly and yes it literally is about 3 minutes to just whistle the rexes attack target and sit and wait lol

[fading timber]

it just adds the event

[proven fern]

thx

y’all know about boss fights crashing unofficial servers? was kinda hoping that wasn’t just an issue with my server

[fading timber]

like players crashing out or it crashes the whole server

[proven fern]

whole server

[fading timber]

that i havent experienced and not sure about

[proven fern]

damn

thx anyway

[fading timber]

youre using nitrado?

[proven fern]

yea

70 player slots

[fading timber]

i dont see why their servers would crash upon a boss fight, i would submit a ticket maybe doesnt sound right

[proven fern]

yeah my other admin submitted a ticket last night

[fading timber]

hopefully they can help ya!

[proven fern]

i was asleep when it happened, yeahh

[grand gorge]

I can launch dedicated server from steam and host/connect to my server just fine. But when I try to use a .bat file to launch my server it gets stuck and never launches the server. Any advice?

[fading timber]

your bat is probably not using your server info/config file

[languid forge]

Anyone using steamcmd, and .bat files to run their unofficial server that can help me?

I am trying to do two things:

• 1. Server rebooted automatically daily at 7:00 AM ET,
• 2. Automatically update the client when patches are released but I cannot fix it out.

This is my first time running a server using steamcmd and .bat files, used to use Nitrado many years ago.

[fading timber]

im not sure if we're able to automate the update check yet

pretty sure we cant have it broadcast a timed shutdown and it would just turn the server off if so with no warning

This is what I have in my .bat file right now, how would I go about changing it to use my server info and config file

[solemn zephyr]

Incorrect.

@north escarp you can change the damage and resistance of the bosses to make them harder.

[fading timber]

where, it has aklways been hardcoded

it has onyl ever scaled with wild levels

[solemn zephyr]

Never has been hard coded. You can generate the code in beacon under the creature adjustments tab, select the boss dinos, and adjust their wild damage and resistance multipliers

[fading timber]

i mean you can just limit HP and saddles it the sasme thing that is not hard

[vagrant ledge]

To be honest personaly I would not have it update automatically, incase there is an update that breaks something you cant revert it, I always wait a while to update my server to make sure new patches are stable

[fading timber]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/650747-boss-difficulty-and-game-difficulty/

DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_Easy",Multiplier=0.33)
DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_Medium",Multiplier=0.33)

this is not making it harder tho

it's jus a DPS race no matter what you do, there is no way to actual make it more difficult thorugh mechanics or anything else

[solemn zephyr]

For wild damage, "greater than 1.0 increases wild creature damage"

On resistance, "Less than 1.0 increase the amount of damage taken"

If you make them take less damage, as well as deal more damage - that is harder by definition.

And yes you're right, not by mechanics, but you definitively stated you can't make them harder when you can. That's all

[vagrant ledge]

To make bosses harder just wait for genesis 1 and 2

[fading timber]

harder is way too subjective of a term

DPS race is not hard, it take more or less time is all

[solemn zephyr]

It's almost as if you're forgetting you can crank their damage... more risk = harder

[fading timber]

that's not harder tho, it the same exact thing lol

there is a line between one shot dinos and pointless and you still sitting there waiting till it dies

alpha monkey dies with 8 wild rexes and decent saddles, if i scale dmg then i take more in and adjust, even at 20 dinos there isnt a damage threshold you can reach where it's any different, taking more damage is not synonmous with being a harder challenge

even if i scaled it higher wow, im just tanking now while waiting out their killing it, like it always is

[distant hearth]

do u have single player setting son ?

[fading timber]

yes wild 150

my rexes ar 38 HP 39 DMG and they shred alpha monkey in under 3 minutes

[distant hearth]

single player makes everything eaier, tames get more from each point, bosses are easier etc, atleast in ase worked that way

[fading timber]

that's official lvls of points

no it's no single player if that's what you meant

ive run servers for this since ASE had the option too im aware of how things work ahah

more damage is not just inherently somehow a harder challenge

unless you scaled it for 255 HP rexes and capped saddles youre just wasting time on trying to find a balance. most will never even breed to that lvl before they quit and then youre just stopping others from doing bosses

[distant hearth]

wild rexes wont shred alpha monkey on any server i ever played, other way around

[fading timber]

fake news

mine are literally wild levels of points on a difficulty 5 server

38 HP and 39 DMG are wild possible points on official play

[solemn zephyr]

Sounds to me like you have adjusted stat multipliers on your dinos.

Just saying. Please don't go on another rant

[fading timber]

no we did not

HP and DMG are default points per lvl, max the tmaing in lvls is possible quick yes but that is all

[lavish stone]

just leave it, not everyone listens :)

[fading timber]

i know i dont know why i bother explaining anything lol

can hand them it to their face theyd still say ThAtS NoT HoW iT WOrKs

[lavish stone]

i know you can do it too with just new bred rexes not bred into stats on those

[fading timber]

anyone who has actually played a time worth a dam would know you could

we literally did alpha moneky on official ASA in under 24 hours lol

[lavish stone]

jup we did it like last week, we did had a saddle bp tho, but you do not need higher bred lvls for the bosses

[fading timber]

ascension in less than 3 days, both on official ASA

[fading timber]

i wanted to bring mine in line with 255 HP and max saddles and stuff but most will never breed that far and we would be preventing most from even completing a boss, which again is not hard, you just spend more time to complete it

[lavish stone]

ive only bred 255 into hp and melee on ase when i had mods, i will not do this again, feels such a waste, just doing it a few times untill i get tired and move on hehe :)

[fading timber]

ya servers like fibecraft and stuff i can cap HP in like 3-4 hours lol

[lavish stone]

ooh jeez.. lucky i play on my own server :)

[fading timber]

once the QOL+ mutator actually works it wont take too long on my server either but youd still have to do the work, which is not hard

[lavish stone]

with mods its not hard at all nope

[fading timber]

it's still default mutation chance and it doesnt work right now, waste fo element

[lavish stone]

pretty much ye

[fading timber]

hopefully they fix it, i am basically doing that process with out turret damage tho, if people wanna raid on ours you do HAVE to breed and make good saddles or the turrets just slap you, then people cant just walk onto the server and raid with wild tames

[lavish stone]

wildcard need to fix alot of stuff hehe

[fading timber]

that's a mod issue atm, their mutation chance mulitplier needs fixing something about it changed with ASA

[lavish stone]

they could still fix that even if its the event mod issue

[fading timber]

the mutator is suppose to guarantee a mutation every birth but it's only doing it by the default chance

[lavish stone]

thats not worth to use it then untill fixed

[fading timber]

yer just a waste of element hahaha

[lavish stone]

jup forsure

[grand gorge]

Need help figuring out why my bat file is not pulling my server info/config

[verbal flicker]

You mean for scheduled restarts, or if server crashes?

If need auto-restart after crash (And on windows) Powershell works fine. Throw me a DM if would like a small script to do it. (Easy to implement)

[still ingot]

Hello it is possible to editing HP of gigan tamed like this ? [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.07)
DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.07)
TamedDinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.35)
TamedDinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.24) But for HP ? i don't find this on internet if you know?

[north valve]

guys whats the best order for mods?

we use dinos, storage, a few item additions

[fading timber]

structures should always be at the top too

[north valve]

structures vs storage?

[fading timber]

yes afaik structures>storage always been that way

[north valve]

we use a storage structure mod lol

Visual Storage Container

[fading timber]

like i have AA > arkomatic> 10k stack>cryos>others

[north valve]

where should turkey trial go?

[fading timber]

i havent used events as a mod tbh we always just had a command line change

if i had to guess i dont think it would matter for that but i may be wrong

[torpid spear]

Just put the mod id with the rest of your mod ids and your good to go

[fading timber]

you mod ID is your load order you cant just put anything wherever you want that is not accurate

[torpid spear]

No load order in Asa isn’t a thing anymore. They made it that way because of cross play

[fading timber]

where did you read this and can you prsent supporting evidence, it absolutely does matter as consoles load the mods in order also

what would crossplay ppssibly change lol, the game still has a priority order for which mods are loaded first

why would they provide a way in game to sort your load order if it didnt matter lol

what, if orde rdidnt matter why would they code a function to order your list in the game, that makes zero sense

there is no supporting evidence to show order doesnt matter unless osmeone can present it, it always has and does matter now there are literal guides for ASA on order and how to

[quartz nova]

are you allowed to offer cash prizes to players for events on unofficial servers?

[fading timber]

you can do whatever you want with your own server

donations, cash events, sell dinos, there are no limits to what a server owner wants to do

[torpid spear]

In single player it doesn’t save the order when reloading after you close the game. You have to reorder them every time. I’ve seen many content creators say that is seems like it doesn’t matter. On my server, of which I have like 15 or so mods, I don’t have mine ordered. None of the mods I’ve seen have said that it requires it to be in a specific order. That being said I don’t have anything that requires a major change to the game like a map mod and such. Those ones are the only ones I would suggest putting first in the order. Other than that it really doesn’t matter.

[fading timber]

ok so no evidence got it

"it works for me" is not evidence

and why would a mod owner tell you when for 8 years we have always known there is an order and countless guides on mod ordering

[tough dirge]

Is there a way to increase text size in the server console? I game from a couch on a tv and it's super tiny. Seems to ignore windows text scaling

[fading timber]

chatgpt will even tell you correct mod ordering

literally every game i know that you can mod has a suggested mod ordering structure

if there is an article or a post or somethign from DEVs stating i doesnt matter please present it, otherwise even with what it might appear to be, ordering them properly is of no harm

major overhauls>structures>stacks>storage>every thing else that yes, doesnt really matter the order

[torpid spear]

ASE there definitely was a requirement for mod order. Can you provide evidence to the contrary on ASA? Like I’ve said, I’ve seen many content creators say that it didn’t matter, it’s just good practice.

[low dew]

No load order for cross play how ever there are some PC only mods that required to be in the front of load order it's ones that mod your character

[fading timber]

No because they did not state any changes so that is speculation.. The proof we have is how it always worked and nothing has been said otherwise outside people assuming. What we do know is ordering them properly is of no harm and possibly not having them in order might cause problems. Better to use a tried method than asusmption based on a few comments from random people

We have 8 years of a working method there is no reaosn to just wing it and is ill advised

[heady pagoda]

didnt you already experience a mod from ASE not working in ASA cause they made changes to ASA? im not sure you know what you mean when you use these words.

[fading timber]

a multiplier not working properly is not the same

[heady pagoda]

mutations work differently, lmao

[torpid spear]

They haven’t given us an official anything on setting up a server for ASA. Everything that we did from the release of this game is all guesswork. Yes most of the setting and setup is the same but most of the rule book got thrown out the window when they released ASA. There are quite a bit of settings that are renamed or removed. You statement of “the proof we have is how it always worked” is invalid because of the changes they made with the game. ASA and ASE are 2 different games, yes same fundamentally but different none the less.

[tough dirge]

This is argument seems rather pointless guys

[fading timber]

either way i stand by it's good to suggest and order your mods 🤷

[torpid spear]

Yep

[torpid spear]

That’s what I said by good practice. But it’s not a requirement

[fading timber]

and really moot because every game that uses mods mostly all have an order

so saying ASE VS ASA doesnt mean anything, try modding skyrim VR and not ordering your mdos LOL

[low dew]

@tough dirge agreed but someone needs to have the last word apparently even if it's mostly false information

[fading timber]

there's nothign false other than claiming it changed and having no proof, that is literally misinformation

[low dew]

I suggest taking it to a dm so people that need help with there servers can receive it

[tough dirge]

Give it a rest dude

[high jacinth]

My server should be listening on my configured steam query port right?

[fading timber]

yes the hlep is to order your mods

there is no harm

[tough dirge]

Indeed. You've said your peace. Move on.

[fading timber]

stating un proveable stuff like "it changed" is not helpful

present evidence it not hard

[low dew]

It doesn't matter no one cares

[heady pagoda]

i dont think ASA does - could be a "yet", could be a "not anymore" cause pvp

[tough dirge]

I agree, there is no harm. No need to keep spamming the chat

[fading timber]

no one is spamming but you guys tryna say something else, it coudlve ended at yes, there is no harm and is good practive

[tough dirge]

"You guys"

[fading timber]

yes you 2 people saying irrelevant stuff

[high jacinth]

Interesting. How does steam query servers to populate the "join server" list then? Using the game configured game port? (default 7777) ?

[languid forge]

Scheduled automatic server reboot at 7:00 am ET. Is it possible?

[tough dirge]

What have I said? I asked a completely unrelated question only to see it burried by a completely pointless argument lol

[low dew]

@languid forge you running a nitrado server?

[languid forge]

Running Steamcmd and bat file

[low dew]

@languid forge it's possible from what I hear though I haven't figured it out for myself that's not helpful I know lol

[languid forge]

Been googling it and it isn't very helpful either

[low dew]

I run a server manager I suppose I could set up a macro to run at different times to do it

[heady pagoda]

i dont honestly know the technical side - so i could be assuming too much and its maybe just a block on player queries now. steam server browser hasn't shown me ASE or ASA servers for months

[low dew]

Server list for what ever reason doesn't populate servers

[languid forge]

@low dew thank you for the info though

Do you know how to do automatic updates?

[high jacinth]

I ask because im running ASA on ubuntu. Increased my open files limits, turned off the firewall, and can see Ark running and listening on the default 7777 port, but it won't populate in the list of servers to join in Ark.

I expected to see my server listening on 27015 as well hmm

[low dew]

@languid forge like when you restart your server??

[tough dirge]

Have you set up a bat to start your server? You can run auto updates that way. I'm not sure how you would tie that in with scheduled reboots though

[heady pagoda]

do you have Show Player Servers checked? nitrado got WC to hide non-nitrado servers behind it

[low dew]

Yeah you can have your bat verify / update each time it runs

[heady pagoda]

and theres also the Ark.UseServerList 1 command you can use from the game menu

[high jacinth]

OMG REALLY

[languid forge]

Yes, when I manually restart the server daily, is there a way to automatically scan and process any needed updates without having to open Steamcmd and do the force install blah blah

[high jacinth]

that was it lol. Hours wasted troubleshooting AWS and linux for nothing

[low dew]

Yeah the newest joke filter from wildcard because nitrado mad there not getting as much business as they like

[high jacinth]

@heady pagoda thank you so much

[heady pagoda]

damn that sucks! glad its fixed tho

[languid forge]

@low dew can you DM the bat file information for that?

[heady pagoda]

there's a discord bot out there that can notify you about updates but i think you still have to customize the command based on that info

[low dew]

@languid forge you can tell your bat to run steam cmd and verify I don't have the code off hand but if you give me a few mins I can find it

[languid forge]

Yes, give me a moment and I will DM you.

[tough dirge]

Ah. I tried to send it here but it got flagged as spam haha

[dreamy venture]

Does anyone know the ingame codes for removing these?
Metal Behemoth Cellar Door
Tek Behemoth Cellar Door

Still need to remove cellar doors, code isn't right....
Remove Metal/Tek Cellars
cant find the correct code for them
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MetalTrapdoor_Large",EngramHidden=True)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekCeiling_Large",EngramHidden=True)

[distant hearth]

PrimalItemStructure_Ceiling_Door_XL_Tek and PrimalItemStructure_Ceiling_Door_XL_Stone

are the spawn codes so , aummingly you cud just the endings

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="Ceiling_Door_XL_Stone",EngramHidden=True)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="Ceiling_Door_XL_Tek",EngramHidden=True)

[dreamy venture]

I'll give those a try 🫶
Thankyou!
I Couldn't for the life of me find those, where were they?

[distant hearth]

beacon asa spawn codes

[low dew]

The code goes in your game ini just figured Id toss that out there just in case lol

Womp womp

[dreamy venture]

I was looking on Ark-Unity and it was wrong for those cellar doors 😛

[low dew]

[dreamy venture]

On Beacon also if i search in the Engram Control and search "cellar" nothing comes up for me, do I not have mine set to ASA or something? is that a thing?

[distant hearth]

ive always just used beacon, didnt even think to check tbh , its never failed me yet

[charred vector]

Anyone know the code for ark to boost crafting skill , I feel that no matter what I do the crafting doesn’t get better I want people to use low bp and get it crafted high help plz. Ark nitrado

[low dew]

You can Google the spawn code to get the blueprint path which will have the code in it

@charred vector there is one to boost it per level

[charred vector]

Well for the player settings I want it so all the players can have high level craft skill high to boost it. Do you know the code ? Or I have to google that

[low dew]

One second let me find it

[distant hearth]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11]=100 in game ini, they will have to use a couple points in skill

[charred vector]

Thank you so much

Thank you !

[low dew]

Someone beat me to it

[distant hearth]

already had beacon open lol

[charred vector]

Hahaha thanks both

[dreamy venture]

why doesn't my becaon "Engram Control" show the cellars? 😕

[distant hearth]

needs to be asa, there differnt

[covert portal]

howdy, im starting a local game but dont know if "Difficulty Level" value is the same as "Difficulty Value/Offset" ?

[low dew]

@covert portal difficulty 1 and set off set to 5 if you want max wild dinos to be 150

You can play with it from there

[covert portal]

where is offset?

[distant hearth]

actually i just checked an the engram is possibly wrong for asa, prehaps a bug , but i went off there spawncode so prob why not worked for you

[covert portal]

on the island

[dreamy venture]

how do i swap beacon to asa instead of ase? 😐
i feel dumb n ow lol

ohhhh

[low dew]

Your running non dedicated ?@covert portal

[distant hearth]

when u start a new project it asks, ase or asa

[covert portal]

yes, host/local

with tether etc

[low dew]

I don't knowuch about non dedi im not at my PC DX

[heady pagoda]

lmao can't post wiki links

Difficulty Value = (1 + DifficultyOffset) * (Official Difficulty - 0.5) + 0.5

[dreamy venture]

mine doesnt ask 😧
new project just makes a new one

[distant hearth]

make sure beacon is updated to latest version

[dreamy venture]

Doing now 😅

[covert portal]

hm but that is what was confusing me. as when making a local game, the only options related to difficulty are the "Difficulty Level" slider and the "Max Difficulty" checkbox

[heady pagoda]

these values are in the ini files, you can overwrite them directly in the file but every time you leave game it will save what your UI has as the config file overwriting your direct changes

[low dew]

@covert portal i believe setting maxdifficulty to true will cap the dinos level at 150

so you wont be able to set it past 150 for wild dinos

i could be wrong but thats just from the few times i seen others talking about it

[covert portal]

true thank u

[dreamy venture]

ahhh fawkers they charge yearly for ASA too 😛
i was like i have OMNI but guess ill buy it for that too

[distant hearth]

i just use the free version, paying doesnt get you much extra

[solemn zephyr]

I have the opposite mindset and like to support creators

[torpid spear]

anyone else running into a issue that the are turkeys suddenly not spawning

[charred vector]

Ok so I did 300 x for the crafting skill per level and it still is only leveling 10 per , what am I doing wrong ? Is there a setting I have to enable or a different code ?

Could anyone see if my server is able to be joined? Name:Chaosbin

I've had some issues with my ports and im still unsure if it's open

[charred vector]

Someone helped me !!! Thank you

[solemn zephyr]

i agree, but here is way more of us then there is of them and to be fair alot of us probably know more about coding and stuff then they do. shouldnt take long to collectiviely overcome their trash tactics

hello, since the last server update, mine it is now showing listed anymore (no nitrado), i think i did everything and more. Someone had the same issue?

ARK (ASA)

[sullen heath]

you have to check "show Player Servers" and refresh, always

Thank you for your answer, but i already did many times. 5 hours with this issue

omg, and i did again, and now it is showing listed. this cant be reasonable

[rustic stag]

Hello everyone, I have had a bug for a while now I crash for no apparent reason, not in the same situation. But I still have the same 3 messages... Does anyone know what to do? I am desperate because I am the admin of a server and I cannot manage it correctly under these conditions

[covert portal]

can a larger egg be used for a smaller kibble recipe?

[dusky thistle]

no. has to be tier it calls for. You can use higher tier kibble to tame dinos that need lower tier though

[native wave]

you can also use lower tier kibble....but it's very much worse than using their preferred foods. Found that out when I tried to use superior kibble on a thyla yesterday instead of cooked lamb chop by mistake (was taming a bary around the same time so had both with me)

[hearty wedge]

anyone found an ASA equivalent (via mod or otherwise) to ASE's AllowPlayerToJoinNoCheck? Particularly to make a "private" (password-protected) server that doesn't require password input every time

[lime matrix]

So currently when it comes to running events on unofficial servers using the mods, swapping to the event mod will effectively poof all event assets of the previous event on removal is my current understanding. So instead of wildcard patching out event assets we are just doing that ourselves now when removing mods.

The mods I would hope to be made to respect the -activeevent= launcher so as to run their respective content.....when its called

[distant hearth]

you just remove the mod from server, but can add it anytime if u wanted to run the event again. the stuff like skind setc stay wether mod on or not

[hearty wedge]

what's the difference between removing -activeevent=turkeytrial vs. removing -mods=xyz though?

[lime matrix]

Oh? did they build those into the game asset files then?

[distant hearth]

activeevnt does nothing in asa

[distant hearth]

yes

[lime matrix]

good to know, now I can quell the concerns of my playerbase

[hearty wedge]

yeah mod rewards are base game, keep-forever items; it's just the event currencies, colors, and special spawns that are tied to the mod being enabled

[distant hearth]

people here tested it when mod first came out, u will lose the bones if collected, so make sure use up before remove mod

[inland frigate]

is there a way to make the the non dedicated tether distance longer so it's not stuck on 200m

[distant hearth]

no

[low dew]

@inland frigate yes there is by getting a dedicated server lol

@distant hearth you will only lose the bones not the skins or other rewards

[native grove]

If I get ark on the Xbox is there a way for me to download it on my pc later?

Like without paying for it again

[low dew]

yes and no

you could probably use your account from xbox app on pc to get it but you wont be able to download it on steam without buying it again

@native grove

[jade folio]

That’s how I set up my server. Just go to Microsoft store and download onto your pc.

[humble thicket]

like @low dew stated cause you own it on xbox series console you get it free on xbox pc app. but minus is atm xbox pc players cant join official due to batte eye issues. so unofficial and pc dedi and single player only

[prisma mango]

I was told to ask here.

Anyone have any issues where they cant connect to a nitrado server for more then a few minutes but they can plan on the official servers? Buddy of mine cant get to my nitrado server from his computer but he can from other computers. already done restart of router, updated all drivers. He can log on when going to a friends computer that is hardlined but his is wireless.

[low dew]

@prisma mango nitrado sucks put a ticket in with nitrado

[solemn zephyr]

Sounds like a firewall issue.

@low dew thats not a Nitrado issue if the dude can log in from a diff PC lol. This would be client side.

[low dew]

nitrado is always a issue

[prisma mango]

ive never had an issue with them but it can't be server side.

[low dew]

add an exception for ark in your firewall and it will likley fix your problem

[prisma mango]

but that doesn't explain how he can connect to offical servers and not Nitrado server. I figured it should be either all or nothing. lol

[low dew]

so let me get this straight he can get on his server for a couple minutes then what

he times out ?

@prisma mango

[prisma mango]

Yes he times out after a few minutes but he can play solo all day and even play official with no issues

[low dew]

anyone else have the same issue joining your server

[prisma mango]

nope

and he doesn't have it from other computers. which is why I lean towards being on his end i just dont know what to look for or how to fix it

[low dew]

cuz timeing out after joining typically is a issue with the server if his firewall was blocking him he wouldent be able to join at all

his character could also be buged

[prisma mango]

He hasn't been able to join the server from his computer yet but to make the character and log in. It crashes shortly after the spawn animation is done playing. He gets a host connection lost error

[low dew]

could be multiple things but since i dont know anything about nitrado oter then there trash i donno how to help i dont run a nitrado server

[prisma mango]

When he logs on another computer in the house he is find playing on the server.. It is only when he logs in from his computer

[low dew]

i run a rack server and dont have any of these issues

[prisma mango]

whats the monthly on that run you?

[low dew]

80 bucks but i can run multiple ark servers or any other servers i would like so pros and cons

[prisma mango]

damn for 80 I have 3 months on my nitrado but it is only for Ark so

[low dew]

i can run up to 16 servers on this rack lol

so like i said pros and cons

@prisma mango pros being way more freedom to host what ever you want with as many slots as you want another pro is your not lining the pockets of a scumbag server host cons being its a bit more expensive and its a little bit more work to set up

[prisma mango]

yea I use to run the server off my computer or a secondary computer but that was getting annoying so I just went the route of Nitrado. This is the first problem I have ever had with them.

[native grove]

Thanks to all that responded

[lean anvil]

anyones server straight up crashing since the latest update?

can tamed dino flyer speed be increased with any method yet?

[quartz nova]

why is DisableImprintDinoBuff set to true as the default on my new Nitrado server? doesn't that mean imprinting is disabled?

[distant hearth]

no , it means u dont get the extra 20% or w.e it is when u ride ure own imprinted dino, fuck knows why they default it that

[distant hearth]

yea if ure own server just enable it

[quartz nova]

thanks some of these defaults seem crazy

stuff like 'XPMultiplier' is not even in the nitrado config, only the specific ones per xp source

[distant hearth]

ini code it

literally use there general settings to get the base, then do everything in i ni

[hearty laurel]

Sooo, am I missing something or we got no info on 32.28? o.o

[long lagoon]

Is anyone else's dedicated server not showing up since last update

[hearty laurel]

Non-nitrado?

[long lagoon]

correct private server

[hearty laurel]

They made it so we have to check "show player servers" at the bottom to see non-nitrado servers =\

[long lagoon]

ah let me try that

That worked thank you

[quartz nova]

[tranquil spade]

this nitrado server divided bs is great, 0 pop on the player hosted servers now

[spice tendon]

[fathom glen]

Hi so 2 questions. First currently non tribe members can spawn on each others bed, how can I stop this? Second I can't seem to use admin commands i don't know if I'm entering it in the wrong area or what.

[lament turtle]

Hello, I am not fluent in English, I have a question, I wanted to play Ark with my friends from Epic and me and my friend use Steam, they have version 358.17 and we have Steam 358.21 and when I try to host a non-dedicated session, I can only play with my friend from Steam, I wanted to know if it is not possible to have this game crossplay between Steam and epic or if the problem is our incompatible versions, if so, how can I solve this so that we can all play together?

[sullen heath]

crossplay on non dedicated is not possible

[lament turtle]

Oh, thanks

[celest halo]

teach messed up also, them ini files have been there so has that agree to terms in GUS since atlest the 9th they not new from the patch on the 14th

[heady pagoda]

we also agreed to these things when we accepted the game terms. but i doubt folks thought about how ASA terms could be diff from ASE.

[celest halo]

yeah and the agree is under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings] section not [ServerSettings]

but teach saying all them things showed up on the 14 is just wrong they been there lol

[heady pagoda]

all those files were created on my pc on Oct 26th - suspiciously close to when i installed. teach might want to keep to in game content.

[celest halo]

yeah i have a backup that has the date of them as 12/9 lol

all my other backups i had i deleted

anyone update there server to the version they released 3 hours ago with no patch notes for it yet

[sharp citrus]

None of my taming/breeding settings seem to work. I have everything setup correctly in the ini and gameusersettings but for some reason everything stays the same. Any help?

[stray kayak]

Asa anybody else have issues with nitrado server stuck in a reset loop?

[dry fern]

32.28 patch notes?

[hearty laurel]

I updated to it hours ago & haven't noticed anything at all different, so I guess do with that information what you will lol

[gloomy lake]

yo... does anyone know how i can move an unconcious player body on pve server as admin?

im trying to deal with some bodies i banned for harassing other players

[wise kindle]

Redgun them and let them decay. Thats about all you can do there in most cases.

[gloomy lake]

how do i get the red gun?

can i teleport their body somewhere else?

[sullen heath]

there should be guides for admin commands somewhere no?

[heady walrus]

How could I get the server to update to latest version in the batch file?

Moved server from pc I play on to its own hardware

Steam is complicating things now

[languid forge]

Right now, I am using for my Task Scheduler to taskkill ArkAscendedServer.exe, Update my servers than start them again every morning automatically and works great but maybe one of you an help me further?

• 1. How I can put a server message that tells players how long before server reboots?
• 2. How can I save servers before I Taskkill?

Please reply, @ Me or Directly message. Thank you in advance.

[small fog]

where do i go to buy a unoffical server for ark ascended

[sullen heath]

Nitrado is the only way, if you dont know how to setup your own server

[small fog]

thanks

[sweet bridge]

One way to do it is trough RCON and sending commands. For example to save the world it would be "saveworld" and to broadcast you can maybe just send chat messages (not 100% sure what the broadcast command is).

[small fog]

if i pick pc for the server will xbox players be able to join ?

[sweet bridge]

If you're talking about nitrado, after you rent you have the toggles on your dashboard to choose which platforms can join

[languid forge]

Never used RCON

[sweet bridge]

Its a protocol mostly used in gaming, if you google a bit you'll understand it quickly. The server has rcon built into it. You set up a pwd, a port, etc, and you can connect to it if you have an rcon client installed on your computer

Kinda like FTP for example but, instead of file transfering, its used for communication between admin and server.

[languid forge]

Googled RCON and RCON Ark but not fully understanding.

[sweet bridge]

I can't post links here, and I'm typing from my phone, but if you Google "rcon ark tutorial" there's a couple links and videos that will show you what rcon is and how it works. If you install an rcon command line client, you should be able to use your task scheduler to send rcon commands and do what you want.

[languid forge]

Thank you

[sweet bridge]

No probl

[covert portal]

did metal mtn on the island get changed to volcano?

[sweet bridge]

Pretty sure this is not the correct channel for that question 😅

[covert portal]

oops sorry :x

[proper condor]

Anyone know how to set a nitrado server to not allow offline raids

[supple ginkgo]

anyone know what todays server patch did?

dont see any notes

[pseudo latch]

Anyone have any ideas why moded dino inventory drops off BBS isnt working for sauro and spinos
Also beaver dams cant seem to be modded?

[dusky thistle]

General settings under pve category. “Prevent offline pvp”

[proper condor]

Ty set you one more ? In dm

[sweet bridge]

Is it working? I thought Offline Raid Protection wasn't working yet

[rocky hamlet]

It's handy for when you want to add the server to a service you can set a preStop command to connect to your server and issue a Save World

[vestal sequoia]

hi everyone, I'm running a nitrado server, loot quality is at 1 and people are dropping 450% crossbow and other weapons, how is this possible?

[woeful sun]

Dm me ur ini files I’ll look

Also some values in Asa changed compared to ase caps

[elfin forum]

Hey guys, one of our servermembers has a higher clientversion then our server and can't join our server anymore. What can we do?

[supple ginkgo]

I assume you tried to patch the server?

[manic coral]

Update the Server or if he is running the ptr version he needs to Downgrade to the normal version

[pseudo latch]

@zealous aurora can you inform me why adding BBS to dinos and altering beaver dams isn't working please, correct codes, dino wipe done etc
Thankyou

[rigid helm]

anyone have issues with players (like all of em) being kicked out of a sudden lately?

[warm badge]

I would like to know more about the addition of the trace, nitrado query, and live link files to my configs on a non-nitrado server? Also, why is it necessary to list non-nitrado servers separately? This feels sketchy. Are y'all now collecting info on these servers? I left using nitrado to have more privacy and control over my own server. This feels unnecessary.

[heady pagoda]

those files were added when the game was installed - i know at least half of them are just part of the way UE works for how servers are listed and characters are created. please dont tell me teach got you here too...

[warm badge]

No, I noticed the additional files this morning when looking through. They were not there previously before the change to the how servers are listed.

I want to know what they do.

[heady pagoda]

what day were they created on? you have to open up the properties menu to see

[warm badge]

Hadn't done that. Looks like they've been around, guess I just missed them. Hadn't noticed them until today when I went searching after the latest change to how servers were listed. Regardless, I would still like to know what they do.

[rigid helm]

yeah set it to 0.7 thats equivalent of old ASE, but you need to disable liuprerodon as well since his buff overwrite values to max regarless of what do you set in

[heady pagoda]

k, next step is opening them - did you?

[warm badge]

Yes, and I see nothing in them, but why are they even there if they do nothing?

[rigid helm]

Southernfried31 — Today at 15:26
Everyone that has a unofficial non Nitrado server, please look at your ini files after the last update. There are sketchy ini files that were introduced to those non Nitrado unofficial servers. Agreement terms, utility tracking, ect.
They are trying to shut out or track us and everyone that plays them. And the new way you have to find these servers, ridiculous. Everyone look into this, its very sketchy and they didn't even mention any of these changes. Has to be a privacy law they are breaking at this point. Everyone please just look and raise your questions to hold WC accountable.
(from ark chat)

[heady pagoda]

im out, not hanging around for the tin foil hat parade sorry

[rigid helm]

I dont blame him, since last patch we getting random mass kicks every now and then, its weird at most...

[heady pagoda]

there's just no chance at dispelling misinformation when its copy pasted just cause it sounds spicy

its VERY easy to make things sound spicy

[warm badge]

What have I copy pasted? I am just asking a question after several of my players experienced issues finding my server. We figured out that it was because of the new option thanks to the announcement that we all missed. Now, I am trying to figure out what these files do or could do.

[rigid helm]

idk, they introduced some files, they didnt listed them, nor they tell us what those are for and all of the sudden we have issues on our dedi. Maybe it is just some weird coincidence, but I came here searching for answers about my issue when i just run into two guys claiming something about weird files in ini

[warm badge]

What impact could it have on player experience? Before I start buying more equipment to host servers and getting more players, I want to know what all these things do. The words trace, link, and nitrado in my configs seemed like something that might impact privacy or connection.

[heady pagoda]

you should read the TOS if you want to understand coulds. but given how much youtube cover this has gotten already from folks who didnt think to check the created date, this is just a mine field made of arguments and speculation.

[warm badge]

Great... now, I have to read... lol. Was hoping for something more than a "Read the TOS" answer.

Also, isn't the whole "TOS" subject to change at any time given the early access state of the game?

[delicate sage]

I just noticed in Nvidia control panel there is an option to set global AI frame rendering even for 2060 RTX

[heady pagoda]

im not a lawyer. but when making hardware purchasing decisions the TOS is very important so you dont make more than you should back

do you have two mods that reference the same structure? or maybe a mod out of date?

[warm badge]

"So you don't make more than you should back"?

[solemn zephyr]

Nerdy, you might want to add some more layers to your tin foil hat!

[warm badge]

Great! So, asking questions gets me labeled a as a conspiracy theorists. I'm actually assuming it is harmless, but want to know if I'm making a worthwhile investment or not.

Thanks. Great community here...

[patent juniper]

hello can someone help me with a server configuration pls? i want to turn of the auto dino decay and structures decay on my private server i used 2 commands but both dont work :/ the counters are still there (ark ascended)

[warm badge]

To be clear, I'm not someone trying to make money off of the game that I didn't create. I just want to be able to tell my community that their data is safe. Forgive me for being curious.

[solemn zephyr]

I was being a smart ass due to all of the privacy comments.

As if wildcard is out there creating profiles for players and their daily actions as if they're people in a grocer, gotta get that data!!

Meant no harm!

[heady pagoda]

this depends on PvP or PvE - these examples would turn off decay in either mode

PvPStructureDecay=False
DisableDinoDecayPvE=True
DisableStructureDecayPvE=True

[patent juniper]

@heady pagoda thanks alot ❤️

[warm badge]

I appreciate that.

[heady pagoda]

i dont think you can get between WC and them - everyone agrees to the TOS separately and WC is going to get whatever info they deem relevent to improving their EA title within the limits of the TOS.

[warm badge]

True

[heady pagoda]

like, this concern had an expiration date and it expired when they consented to the TOS

[warm badge]

I think my more practical concern is the decision to separate out the non-nitrado servers. Why is that necessary? It honestly just feels like one more layer of making it difficult for people to join non-nitrado or non-official servers, especially since you have to click the button every time you log in to see the player hosted servers. Even if it saved that checkbox, why do those servers need to be separated out? My guess is either (conspiracy) they want to segregate the player hosted servers for some data collection reason... Or, (my actual theory) they want people to know they are joining a server that could actually put their data in the hands of non-WC, non-Nitrado entity, making them more vulnerable in some way?

[heady pagoda]

they dont need to give us a check box to seperate the data from the servers - if it was this they would simply do it behind our backs.

its likely as simple as, they want the server list to load faster.

[distant hearth]

unfirtuneately the made the lists load slower lol

[warm badge]

Fair. I just don't think it is that simple. They made the change and didn't explain it, so it leaves a lot of room for speculation. I would like to hear something from WC as to the why officially. For more than anything, so I have a way to shut down the concern I am hearing from my friends. lol

As for the data collections bit. It is a bit naive to think WC, Snail Games, or Nitrado isn't collecting data on players for their own reasons. Online data is incredibly valuable to any company these days. That goes both ways on the side of protecting data and utilizing data though. My point is, without a response from Nitrado, there is too much room for speculation as to the why. It would be nice to know, but I also realize we may never get a why.

[delicate sage]

Ok, if you have a 2060 RTX you can enable Frame Generation as a global setting (even though Ark SA will state Frame Gen not Supported) and increase Max Frame Gen to 4 and it makes a HUGE difference.

[heady pagoda]

i know they are collecting data, thats part of making an EA game better and making money in todays world. we consent to this via the TOS and it gets recoreded in our GUS file. if you want a respose from Nitrado, maybe try their discord.

[warm badge]

I'm less interested in Nitrado and more interested in WC's response. Anyways, I gotta get ready for work. Been nice chatting. Well, nice once I wasn't being treated like some crazy conspiracy theorist even if you may think I'm being a bit nuts... Well, because aren't we all... lol

[heady pagoda]

but this is the channel where folks from the community help others with server setup - not the ask WC a question channel (this does not exist). so of course its gonna seem like spreading a theory instead of looking for a WC response. tweet at them or something directly.

[quartz pewter]

You can literally see every single file internally of the game, when it was updated and the patch notes on steamdb. Just because you dont know where to look, or how to notice shady things doesnt mean everyone is wearing a tin foil hat. In fact just the fact that you dont have some concerns is more of an issue in my mind.

[winter sand]

Where can I find the official stats for percentage gained from each Dino level? Anyone know what it’s set at?

[quartz pewter]

There are in fact some serious privacy and or anti consumer concerns going on right now in general surrounding a lot of different diverse subjects in relation to this whole situation as a whole.

[wise kindle]

Why are there Xbox Only checkboxes on Xbox? And why are there PS Only checkboxes on Playstation? Why segregate? They are trying to keep us apart man.

[heady pagoda]

have you looked into Dododex yet? i think they have this data in their app/web page

[winter sand]

Yea I just wasn’t sure it was correct for ASA in the Dododex app

[quartz pewter]

@heady pagoda Its not like the owner took all the money and tried to open an electric car company that failed or anything, then decided to charge for a thing they said were going to be free, then borrow millions from a server company and funnel all the server hosting to them. Nothing like that right?

[severe pawn]

on the server, with a maximum consumption of 8% CPU... the server framerate is 2.5 fps maximum. Does anyone know how to solve it or what could be causing it? On the same internet line, with another machine in Evolved we have about 20fps.

[quartz pewter]

Your right, its all above board. What was I thinking.
