I don't have any setting related to crossplay but it hasn't been an issue before today

[distant hearth]

what sort of server?

[clear bronze]

Dedicated hosted from steam

[solid hound]

Is anyone currently able to get their un-official/self-hosted server working where friends can join as well? I'm having issues joining remote/non-LAN.

[distant hearth]

make sure they tick the , search player only box

[raven wigeon]

haven't updated yet to the last version but yes, my pvt dedicated server is running fine!

[brittle stump]

I've been runing one since we were allowed on a spare computer

[clear bronze]

Not on Xbox

[distant hearth]

there is a search setting now that needs to be ticked evertime someone goes into server search for player hosted servers, make sure people are ticking it on when searching

[solid hound]

I keep getting the Joining Failed - Connection Timeout error. Any suggestions?

[distant hearth]

yea it shud be there , search player only or summit ts called, in server page

[clear bronze]

Unless they are bugging they are saying there's nothing there

[clear bronze]

Your ports might be messed up, that's what happened to me a few days ago

[brittle stump]

Have you tired using a port forwarding utility to make sure the ports are open, that was about the only issue I had. Has it ever worked or just stopped?

[distant hearth]

i dont know then but i think it might be related to that, i dont se why it wudnt be there for xbox when it is on other systems

[brittle stump]

Oops tried to post a lint to the one I use and it got deleted lol

[clear bronze]

I'm not sure but it's not listed as being a thing in the Xbox patch notes while it is for steam and PlayStation

[distant hearth]

oh , thats really odd, i wonder if they can join using the ark.useserverlist0 command?

[clear bronze]

No I don't think they can access the console through the menu without a keyboard

[distant hearth]

yea they can, sry i shud say can access menu , but have go single player first

[solid hound]

Never had it work externally, friend just got the game, but ports are forwarded in my router and firewall, and my other ASE servers on that computer and another are working fine too.

[clear bronze]

What ports do you have open

[distant hearth]

basically they acces it through single player, enetr it, then go back search page. pain in the back side but worth testing

[clear bronze]

Alright I'll tell them to test it out

[brittle stump]

try a test to see if t he ports are actually getting through. I had issues with mine.

[distant hearth]

its all i can think of till wc sort there dumb arse menu system out that they upodated 3 times an made worse

[clear bronze]

Yeah for real. Just stick to one thing and make it work lol

[solid hound]

I have 7822, 7823, 8888, 32330

[brittle stump]

Set 7777, pretty sure thats the default unless you changes it in your config. I had 7777-7785 and 27015 - 27020 forwarded on mine. Its from when I was running clusters before but adding 7777 and 27015 should do the trick

or post you launch command if you could

[solid hound]

I've updated in my configs to run outside of other active servers.

[clear bronze]

Do you have multiple servers at once?

[languid plank]

i give up on getting this mod thing to work

[loud yoke]

Question. My server is always coming up with players: 70. Im using steam cmd and i tried adding it to the launch arguments as well as the gameserversetting ini but the server always reverts and ands 70 players back to the bottom of my ini in a different section

[brittle stump]

mine does the same lol I gave up. Only like 8 people know the password so I'm not to worried lol

[solid hound]

@clear bronze @brittle stump Just one server for ASA on this machine, and no others running while testing:

I think I've gotten my full startup (minus private info)
ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?MaxPlayers=70?SessionName="ServerNameReplaced"?Port=7822?RCONPort=32330?RCONEnabled=True?ServerPassword=ServerNameReplaced?ServerAdminPassword=ServerNameReplaced -WinLiveMaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye -Crossplay -game -server -log

[languid plank]

this winterwonderland crap better work though

[clear bronze]

If you're only doing one server I think you should just do 7777. It's the easiest and it should prevent any issues which you are currently having. If any other games use 7777 just disable them until you need to use them.

[solid hound]

I'll do that, I think I have my ASE, on another box (same router though) running 7777/7778. I'll get back to you and let you know what that does, one sec.

[clear bronze]

Yeah. You can do other ports but I think at least one is required to be 7777. And 7778 is not needed in ASA anymore

But make sure to do 27015 in TCP as well

[brittle stump]

I have mine set to have the ports open on both TCP/UDP - limited modem crap. Maybe try that though and see

[solid hound]

It's set for TCP/UDP, and is 27015 still required, I've seen so many posts about that going away completely, or at least, for now, until more servers are added since it's a query port.

[clear bronze]

I believe the setting for query port is not needed but the port itself is.

[solid hound]

Ahhh okay, one sec, because just 7777 didn't do the trick, received the same error, works totally fine on LAN though 😄

[brittle stump]

I left mine open just in case. I did hear the same about 27015

[solid hound]

I'm restarting the server now, hopefully that does it, I have a friend "itching" to play LOL

[brittle stump]

Have you tried a port forward utility to check? Just goolge that and the first option should be te same one I used to make sure mine was actually working

[celest halo]

27015 is not needed ASA dont use steam network so no steam query port

[clear bronze]

Ah ok

[celest halo]

i only have 7777 and 7778 UDP forwarded

and a friend can connect to mine

[solid hound]

I'll give that a go now, and also trying what @celest halo suggested with adding the old 7778

[brittle stump]

also maybe silly but making sure the ports are being forwarded to the right IP address, you mentioned you have another system with ports being forwarded to them

[minor holly]

Thinking about setting up a server with a couple mods any advice ?

[distant hearth]

do the research an learn how to set it up properly on what ever platform you chose and how to fix problems when they arise, keep backups of the data

[solid hound]

Yeah, it looks like it was due to a conflict within the range of the other ports I missed it by 1 stinkin' port number. Trying again now to verify after fixing that blunder.

[minor holly]

Where should I start and should it be pvp or pve I wanna get a good server going where it’s not to booted but not to offical

[distant hearth]

start with learning how to start a server, the rest is irrelevant till you know how to set one up

[brittle stump]

YEs keep backups! I lost our map file a few weeks ago and we lost 20 real days of play time on our server. I back up daily now lol

[lucid solstice]

I am having this same problem, have you found a solution?

[brittle stump]

hope that does it

[solid hound]

@brittle stump @clear bronze You guys are awesome, much appreciated, that did the trick!

[brittle stump]

woot woot!

[clear bronze]

Nice!

[lucid solstice]

I missed the solution, I need it too 🤣

[lucid solstice]

I have a script that autoremoves backups older than a week, just to keep the save files from. Being too bloated with Extra backups

[solid hound]

download port forward utility, use trial version, check to see if the ports are actually open, and, make sure there are no conflicts of ports in your router.

[lucid solstice]

Where do you find the trial version?

[brittle stump]

just google it and its the first link. Can't post it here gets deleted lol

[solid hound]

Can't post links LOL, but Google.com > port forward utility > first link portfotward

[brittle stump]

samething happened when I tried to post it

[solid hound]

Scroll down, Get it Now, free trial, install, click trial on bottom-left when launching, bada-bing

[deep flower]

If you want I can try and help you out, i got time to kill

[distant hearth]

careful doing that, the mods get a bit uppity about circumventing un authorized links, just coz ya know idiots try to put bad stuff

[solid hound]

Kk, will edit/delete, one sec

[distant hearth]

its annoying, but other wise they have read every link an make sure safe blah blah , idiots that post stupid crap ruin it for everyone

[deep flower]

one idiot earlier posted a steam phising link and they disabled all links/media

this is why we can't have nice things....

[deep flower]

woah! i can remove the quertport= from my gus.ini ?

[brittle stump]

yuppers

[deep flower]

🔥

What does everyone have their harvest health set too?

It is pretty confusing. Does 1.5 HarvestAmount + 1.5 HarvestHealth = 3x resources?

Wondering what the rates should be for a 2x server. Don't like 1 tapping trees with a prim hatchet though

[lucid solstice]

I'll try that when I get home

[distant hearth]

personally i only changed harvest amount , have it 2 x all time, this in ase balanced out to official as they wud have 3x 4x etc

the asa server i play on atm is 1x an honestly its not grindy

[deep flower]

Okay so leave HarvestHealth alone yeah?

I agree 2x feels PLENTY on ASA

[distant hearth]

i always did , just never saw the need to change it, but i believe more health = more hits it can take, so if u 2x health with 1x harvest u wud get 1x the amount from each hit but it cud take say 2 hits , efectively u got 2x the amount but hit it twice . thats a simplification as i can explain lol

ps im not good explaining

[deep flower]

ooooo okay I might change it over if its 2x the resources

[distant hearth]

the thing is it changes with weapon quality, so later game witch adscneded axes etc high level tames, u get more an more

[deep flower]

yeah and thats okay, rn its like running around 1 tapping every tree in the forest with an axe. feels weird

[distant hearth]

its mostly down to personal prefence, some tress fall easier than others aswell lol

[deep flower]

true but im talking about them lil redwoods 🤣

[distant hearth]

oh lol , i think they shu dtake quite afew hits haha

[deep flower]

harvest amount does affect farming crop plots though i think

i wish they were 2 different inis

[distant hearth]

not that i ever knew or realised but i may be wrong

crop plots just depend on there growth rate an the stack sizes, u get out whats in it

[deep flower]

hmm my stack sizes are 1000 and the crops only go to 150

berries go to 300. i wish they went to full stack size

[lucid solstice]

1x is pretty grindy for taming, especially at the start when your first berry tame takes an hour or 2. I like 3x personally for just chilling

[distant hearth]

oh thats right , they ignore the stacking . i dont think i ever did change that , probably is a way

[lucid solstice]

There is a way to have better stacking on crops

[deep flower]

how so?

[distant hearth]

ah the taming is higher, i was ment the harvesting an xxp

i rem now i ran s plus, there plots wud stack higher, its mod only

[lucid solstice]

I like 2x xp, because the late game grind for levels is a pain on 1x when you are solo

[distant hearth]

ive not found it an issue , i di dhave a bit of a note an alpha killing spree to get the indy cooker unlocked when i was lik elevel 90 or summit

maybe it was lvl 80, i never eme the unlock lvls

[lucid solstice]

Well, the grind from 90 to 105 is as bad as the one from 1 to 90, and 105 to 120 is like double

[distant hearth]

meh that grind is kinda mute to me on pve,im like lvl 97 an bout do gamma bosses , started on 8th nov been going at a relaxed pace. tek bed free xp get me rest way once i unlock it

[lucid solstice]

There is no tek bed on asa

[distant hearth]

ohhh ? what lol my dumb arse thought dragon unlocked it?

[lucid solstice]

Nope that's ab

[distant hearth]

ah dam , oh well , even more reason look forwar dto my fave map

[spiral palm]

Anyone happen to know what line in the .ini file to modify to enable steam and console crossplay? Self-owned dedicated server.

[light parrot]

Is there a way to get past level 135. I have server set up to go well past it and I just ascended character and still can’t level up

[winged pollen]

Should be auto enabled

[spiral palm]

oooh sweet! thanks!

[minor holly]

Anyone wanna set me up a discord for my new server 🤣 if not does someone wanna help me set it up?

[heady pagoda]

I believe there's still a bug preventing players going past 135 regardless of configs and ascension.

[latent finch]

Does anyone know a good mod for ammo boxes?

[minor skiff]

I want a new player to spawn in with a crafting bench, 1 metal foundation, and some tools... How would I go about doing that?

[lucid solstice]

So I did this. When i do the port finding tool, it finds my server on port 7777, but I still cant connect to it

[lucid solstice]

I take that back. Somehow its working now

[native sluice]

Is there a way to set up autodecay yet?

[vagrant ledge]

Autodecay has been working, only problem is the timers reset on server restart

[latent finch]

idk about spawning in, but ive been using Resonant's Shop Mod. Just added a way to put limited purchases and so I have my starter packs as one time buys (set to free)

basically they can grab the starter packs once but at their own convenience. they dont have to risk losing the starter before finding a place to set up

[native sluice]

The server I play on the timers are going down but auto decay isn't a function from what I am told

[bright tusk]

any fix on how to check the "Show player servers" . Ive push the box and spammed the button but im not getting any ticks.

[vagrant ledge]

Ohh yeah now that you mention it I have not seen it work yet, never seen the timers reach 0 cause of server restarts

[delicate smelt]

Morning all - the last few patches have made it difficult for my unofficial server to populate in the server browser. It use to work flawlessly, but now for some reason I can't find it in there without serious amounts of refreshing and ticking and unticking of options. Any ideas why this is now an issue and is there a fix? Thanks

[delicate smelt]

Found that "Ark.UseServerList 0" resolved it

[unreal canyon]

Anyone can help me with harvesting settings on my server? With my therizino i get like 10k fiber and 30 berry's its a 3x harvest server.

So the fiber is like a 100x harvest server but the berry feels like 0.5 harversting and nothing i have changes seems to help..

[low dew]

Pretty sure that dino don't harvest berries efficiently the harvest setting is global

@unreal canyon

[unreal canyon]

Yeah idk what happend but my ankylo also gets 60metal from a note on 3x

[tranquil spade]

Ark pls remove all player hosted servers and do only nitrado

Player hosted servers are the scum of this game and we should all use nitrado

[ripe yoke]

No everyone has a right to host from their own equipment or use other providers.

[tranquil spade]

Great then sign the petition

[low dew]

Oh joy more clowns

[ripe yoke]

Indeed

[low dew]

Fact he didn't even read what u said says it all lol

[ripe yoke]

lol

[tranquil spade]

You sound like a nitrado user

[low dew]

The block feature works good to no need to feed the 12 year old trolls

[tranquil spade]

Sucks to not have plugins on your server🥱

[jovial iron]

So how can I get the event if I already use a command-line argument which is -preventhibernation.?

[junior monolith]

Hey, are cross playform unofficial still disabled?

[heady pagoda]

events are just mods now, you just add the id in your mods section of your boot command

[sullen heath]

that depends on the server owner

[tidal hazel]

i need support i have all settings to lowest everything off n rtx settings is on performance im getting only 9-12 fps could someone help me fix this

[sullen heath]

system specs?

[tidal hazel]

i5 11400h rtx 3050 16gb ram

[tardy pine]

Put in a space and add another argument.

-argument1 -argument2 -arg3```

[sullen heath]

should start with more ram,but this is not the channel for this

[tidal hazel]

what channel?

shud i go to

[sullen heath]

#bobs-with-probs

[tidal hazel]

ty

[olive talon]

This channel is ok. It's relevant here too.

[tidal hazel]

help pls xD

[sullen heath]

huh... throught its server only ^^

[olive talon]

Figuring out how to make things run sounds like setup help too.

[distant hearth]

are you trying to run it in 4k or summit?

[red depot]

also looking for this

[tidal hazel]

no

[tardy pine]

Check you Nvidia settings in the Nvidia control panel, those can override your in game settings. Also if you have a 4k screen, the 3050 isn't going to be able to handle that with ark

[tidal hazel]

i only have 1080

[sullen heath]

also your GPU is worse then minimum requirement

[red depot]

how do you add the winter wonderland event to a nitrado server?

[tardy pine]

Can't, not out yet

[distant hearth]

for asa, when it releases you add the mod

[red depot]

ahh gotcha, i thought it released already lol my b

[signal leaf]

How does one slow day night cycles asa ?

[tidal hazel]

dude im on my laptop lol so no comment to ur help

[distant hearth]

DayTimeSpeedScale=0.74
NightTimeSpeedScale=4.57

theese two settings in the game user ini, there 1 by default, the settings i have there make nights short

[tidal hazel]

i set my nvidia settings for ark well tried to

[signal leaf]

Ok cause bein up like 2 weeks shouldnt be day 165 in game..

[distant hearth]

game days are alot faster than real life days

[sullen heath]

well you asked why you get only 12 fps.... and thats why

[signal leaf]

Ya but i want raptor clause be there longer lol not 2 gifts and done haha

[tardy pine]

Update driver, crank down resolution scale in options. And turn off fog and clouds. Fog and clouds are heavy heavy gpu functions

[distant hearth]

make the nights longer then i guess? not really sure what his spawn raate mechanics are

[tidal hazel]

blud i benchmarked my pc specs and it said everything passed on minimum so pls dont lmao diss my specs

[signal leaf]

Thx for ur help

[sullen heath]

min requirements is a gtx 1080, and a mobile 3050 is like 80% weaker then a gtx 1080.....

[olive talon]

Yeah you'd have to make nights longer for it to drop all of the gifts. Too short and it'll only drop one or two.

[distant hearth]

no they dont hit minimum , you are gonna be lucky to get 30fps in 1080p, everything low, clouds off

[latent finch]

you can definitely cross plat unofficial. our server is up and running. its just a few check boxes on Nitrado

[tidal hazel]

i can send u a link off my pc passing benchmark test with the official app to test it with

[sullen heath]

tbh those are never valid

[tidal hazel]

i also seen youtube vids with laptops same specs as mine

[tardy pine]

Benchmarks aren't going to fix your problem man

[distant hearth]

idont care about pics or benchmarks, they mean nothing, i know what it takes to run the game

[tidal hazel]

ima just block u lmao

[distant hearth]

that laptop is the equivelant to a 1660 super, its the gpu i had before upgrade

[sullen heath]

sure... block the people who want to help 😄

bruh just dont

[olive talon]

Run all of those commands.

Then try running it.

[heady pagoda]

its quite possible that an EA game which has not been optimized will perform worse than a benchmark tool. so the benchmark might look good but the game still struggle to run

[tidal hazel]

ty bee atleast ur nicer then the others

[distant hearth]

just being honest from real world experince, sry

[olive talon]

I'm not, I'm just finishing it for you so you'll stop arguing while they're attempting to help.

[tidal hazel]

i seen videos....... that give 40-50 fps easily with same cpu and similiar gpu as mine

in my eyes visual aspects are bigger then words

not here to argue or trying to js

[olive talon]

You'd need a video on your exact product to get better information. Similar is not it, and laptops run worse than PCs.

[tidal hazel]

well video had 5600h which has same performance as an i5 11400h

and it ran at 30-40fps with less res scale tho

[celest halo]

I get 40-50 with a 2080ti with most setting in median some on high and one or two on low at 1440, a 3050 should be able to do the same

[tidal hazel]

^

[sullen heath]

oh no... it wont

[tidal hazel]

sum1 on my side thankgod

[distant hearth]

2080ti is a way better card, its what i have now

[red depot]

i heard someone has a mod to transfer servers anyone heard anything else about that?

[heady pagoda]

i have heard a lot of talk, seen nothing from the talk tho

[sullen heath]

a 2080 ti is 180% faster then a laptop 3050

[nova meteor]

Does anyone know if you can currently cluster servers in ASA? Like the Island and Svartalfheim together?

[olive talon]

Not yet.

[nova meteor]

Booo, do we know if there's been an offical statement from WC about it?

[olive talon]

There has not been

[heady pagoda]

if you trust modders and do some digging there is something

[nova meteor]

Can you point me in a direction for that?

[tidal hazel]

im in a unoffic server n its not mine

[red depot]

they said "server transfer when scorched is launch" or something along those line

however i heard talk about a mod for server transfers

[olive talon]

You're still able to use those commands. They are console commands, not admin commands.

[heady pagoda]

curseforge is as far as ill point - this is def a "use at your own risk" kind of mod

oh and im fairly sure you have to pay for the cluster mods ive seen

[nova meteor]

Ok, I'm looking and don't see anything yet

[tidal hazel]

ohok ty

[tidal hazel]

hey cud u check dms pls bro

[red depot]

where did you see that at? 👀

[heady pagoda]

in the mods description

[red depot]

but where did you see the mod at? lol

[clear iris]

Tried googling this and searching the wiki and didn’t find much, which means it probably doesn’t exist, but is there any easy method for the server reporting its status to an http request or anything? I.e., so I can have a “server: online” type of message showing that is fairly accurate (I can already do it using just online & offline actually with messages in batch when launching the server, but was hoping to have a better / more accurate updating by the server itself communicating its status (I.e., accounts for the server actually loading too)

[heady pagoda]

BattleMetrics uses RCON to accomplish this task - if you're trying to do it from scratch i have no idea how hard that would be, ive never built an RCON web tool

[tidal hazel]

im guessing its not possible for my laptop to run ark ascended smoothly even 30fps :/ with my specs at all honest opnions (i5 11400h rtx 3050 16gb)

[distant hearth]

its never gonna run great, all settings low, lock it to 50fps use the in game console commands to remove clouds , turn anything rtx off , make sure nothing else on the laptop is running(youtube,web browsers etc) , you can get it to run just about

[tidal hazel]

cud u pass me commands bro also srry abt b4

wah fps u reckon im able to atleadt reach w ur suggestion tho

[distant hearth]

read up, beemerry listed them, the main one is , r.volumetriccloud 0

[tidal hazel]

ok cheers

[olive talon]

@tidal hazel commands are here.

[tidal hazel]

ty

[distant hearth]

i wud guess about 30-50fps, each system is differnt, the more thing syou turn off, higher fps but the game looks like minecraft lol

[tidal hazel]

xD

it actually did lmao look like playdough

[clever tendon]

So has anyone figured out why we can't raise player levels yet?

[tidal hazel]

added u if u coo with da

[clever tendon]

@tidal hazel do you know if we can raise the player levels yet?

[tidal hazel]

i have no clue bro/sis

[clever tendon]

Bro please

[tidal hazel]

what?

have u legit maxed ur dudes level

[clever tendon]

You said bro/sis just answering with bro

[tidal hazel]

alr O.o

[jagged basalt]

Hard capped right now until we get Scorched

[clever tendon]

Dang it was so looking forward to raising the players to 400 on my server. Welp back to the drawing board

Thank you guys

[tidal hazel]

why does the unoffic server im in keep reupdating and downloading/installing same mods each time i join it

[vagrant ledge]

either CF is broken, or the server you are on hasnt updated those mods. You have the lates update for them but the server doesnt

[tidal hazel]

fair

wahs cf

[neat girder]

Is it serious that WildCard is going to maintain this, prioritizing only Nitrado servers to appear on the unofficial list and forcing us to activate a new option to show our servers?

[tardy pine]

For now anyway. They say its to fix exploits but I'm not convinced.

I personally think it's so they can segregate them and pull analytics from nitrado servers to fix performance issues, not because they are 100% against us self hosters, but because officials run on Nitrado hardware, and officials are utter shit right now

[neat girder]

It's complicated, I see several servers experiencing difficulty in reaching a good audience due to this option.
Not everyone knows, I saw some people report that this option was not released on Xbox and PS5, I don't know if it's true.
If it's the public there, I don't even know how they're doing to get in.

[tardy pine]

Yep, it's complicated and I hate it. I lost some players due to it as well

[vagrant ledge]

Curse forge

[wanton hinge]

They could also just let us save our settings like Ark.UserServerList 0 so we don't have to enter it in each time we start the game.

That or save the filter for "Player Hosted Servers" instead of that resetting on each restart too.

[heady pagoda]

they wouldn't need to create a visible filter checkbox to divide the analytics - they know exactly which IPs are Nitrado's cause they run them so they could just simply pull info based on IP

[tidal hazel]

Is this bad news….

[pine frost]

Why do they build up obelisks and chests with notes!!!!! ELIMINATE

[tardy pine]

I owuld even be ok with the favorites list saving so I dont have to type in the server name every time but... you know

[gleaming ocean]

or if open ip:port?password worked

[cursive gazelle]

can i set the max level players can level up too??

[distant hearth]

not at the moment , it seems to be locked

[desert shuttle]

Hey does anyone know how to code modded saddles into drops

[solemn zephyr]

Yes

[sullen heath]

btw, People who cant click the "show player button", change resolution scale to 100% or use windowed mode native resolution, that should fix it

[compact rain]

Does anyone have problems with Draconic help guide?

[distant hearth]

this shud be pinned, must be a dozen a day ask why that button wont work

[wise kindle]

The Draconic discord said there is an issue with it atm and to disable the engram till they can fix it - or just tell your players not to craft/use it right now.

[compact rain]

Thank you. People are having issues within my server atm with it.

[wise kindle]

if you need a link to their discord, dm me and I'll shoot you one.

[tacit ether]

When do you think Ark is going to recombine the good servers with shitrado?

[timber valve]

Is there an official modding/dev community I can join?

I have some questions about map creation.

[wise kindle]

the mod channels is a good place to start.

[timber valve]

I must be lacking the permissions. I will check them again. Thanks!

[wise kindle]

Check your roles under Channels and roles at the top of the discord.

[timber valve]

Found it. Thanks! 🙂

[frigid vine]

Hrello! Has your servers still colored dinos? Yes... Mod (Turkey Trial) is removed and Dinos wiped 2x times.

[heady pagoda]

I'm pretty sure the colors were part of the mod. I'm still running the mod and still have those color dinos spawning

[frigid vine]

Yeah, but like it said: we have the mod already removed and the server rebootet incl. dinowipe. Still having colors what seems wrong.

[wise kindle]

Do you have the ActiveEvent=TurkeyTrial or some other event like this in your inis? I know the colors for these still seem to work.

[frigid vine]

Nope. No other start-parameters or similar.

I can try ActiveEvent=None but afaik this parameter is deprecated for A:SA

[wise kindle]

They did add/change alot of the base dino colors in ASA. You might be seeing those.

[carmine cradle]

anyone narrowed down a cause of the cave overspawning issue?

[wooden saffron]

do babies not get taming levels anymore? or is this a new setting we have to configure on nitrado servers?

[distant hearth]

pretty sure baby only gets taming levels if you tame parent, killing parent results in the level its at

[wooden saffron]

gotcha, thank you!

[worthy rapids]

Has anyone experienced server lag when server pop reach 20/30 players? I'm trying to understand if there is anything I can do on my end. CPU usage is only about 25% with plenty of room for memory. Disk usage isn't spiking either.

Server is generally very responsive, but there are lag spikes that increase in frequency the more players I'm getting.

[low dew]

@worthy rapids you rent from nitrado ?

[timber stirrup]

What’s your network utilization look like?

[worthy rapids]

no, OVH, dedicated machine

[timber stirrup]

I would check your network. We use ovh and have an ase cluster running, Asa, and Conan all at the same time without issue. But we also have a 2gb up and down.

[worthy rapids]

It's sleeping

2761 mbps download 1889 mbps upload, no spikes when lag is happening

That same server was running 10 ASE servers with no issues. But 1 ASA server with 30 people on it is quite bad. I don't know if that's the game or there is something I can do on my end.

[low dew]

Could be server tick rate dropping

[timber stirrup]

and they push nvme disks too so it shouldn’t be that. Honestly it’s probably something with the game. 20 people population probably = a lot of structures and Dino’s. I plan on pushing cryopods hard when they release. I’ll hand them out like candy. We hit lag once or twice when scratching 20, but not too bad. And we booted some scum so that helped.

I was wondering about the server tick rate too.

[low dew]

You can check the tick rate in-game by hitting esc

[worthy rapids]

I'm monitoring the server fps, it's hovering around 7 fps, but then it freeze for about 2 seconds.

[low dew]

If it dips below 10 you will have problems

That's probably your problem then

Low server tick rate

[worthy rapids]

how many players you guys got?

[low dew]

I got 12 mine hovers between 25 and 45

[worthy rapids]

ok, save file size?

[low dew]

Few gigs

Try boosting your page file size

You might see improvement on performance

[worthy rapids]

not page file size, save game size, mine is around 400 mo. About 400 unique players, but about 30 active on peaks.

[low dew]

That's fine boost your page file and see if it helps

[timber stirrup]

You have 400 unique players on one map! The island no less. Where do the Dino’s spawn with even 1 base per 5 people.

[low dew]

@timber stirrup dosnt mean he has 400 players lol just means 400 unique IPS have joined now stuck around is different

[worthy rapids]

yeah, about 400 .arkprofile created sinch launch

[timber stirrup]

True. It would be nice if there was a cleanup you could do.

[low dew]

There is you see date modified the oldest ones typically mean they don't log in

[worthy rapids]

well, I mean, you can clear them, but I don't expect any changes in performance

[low dew]

I recommend you boost your page file to the recommended MB which you can find on Google if you haven't changed it already

I think it's 2.5 x the amount of ram u have for max and 1.5 x the amount of ram for min

This was the first thing I did getting my rack server lol

[worthy rapids]

I can give it a try, just can't right now

I have 81920 MB of page file for 128 gig of ram

[low dew]

It should be hell of a lot more then that

[worthy rapids]

yeah, I'll increase it

[low dew]

Should be 320000 for max

192000 for min

[chilly kernel]

How can I edit the loot table for drops on ascended?

[distant hearth]

easiest way would be with the beacon app/program unless you know all the spawn codes etc all ready

[low dew]

there not editable as far as i know for asa

it will crash your server this is what ive heard so i cant confirm if its true

[distant hearth]

i havent tested it either , so possibly your right. i will have to test an find out

cant see why it wud crash the server though, unless someone tried something crazy

[low dew]

yeah i donno i didnt really inquire more on it its just the few times ive seen people ask they say it dont work

[heady pagoda]

my edits using Beacon worked fine

[distant hearth]

beacon shows all the drop paths to be the same ase , i can only think it wud crash if someone tried to go crazy

[heady pagoda]

check out the community projects, theres an ASA template

[quartz pewter]

Anyone have the gfi names for the turkey trial emotes from the mod, they seemed to have disappeared off the emote menu for some reason.

[distant hearth]

ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level60_C",bAppendItemSets=true,ItemSets=((SetName="ele",MinNumItems=1,MaxNumItems=2,NumItemsPower=1,SetWeight=1.1,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=true,ItemEntries=((EntryWeight=1000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_Element_C"),ItemsWeights=(50),MinQuantity=1,MaxQuantity=10,MinQuality=0,MaxQuality=0,bForceBlueprint=false,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0),(EntryWeight=519,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C"),ItemsWeights=(50),MinQuantity=1,MaxQuantity=1000,MinQuality=0,MaxQuality=0,bForceBlueprint=false,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0)))

this an example of an ase drop adding element an shards , it comes out the same for asa

[main patio]

Where can I find unofficial pvp server list for Xbox?

[quartz pewter]

The wishbones are GFI wisbone 1 0 0, but there is literally no documentation anywhere for the event mod. kind of ridiculous.

[odd flower]

anyone know why i have a player that cant see my server on the server list

[quartz pewter]

#patch-notes

Wireless crafting is broken also for black pearls, shows the ammount of metal instead of pearls in the ui. And shows 0 for black pearls when you turn off wireless crafting on metal. lol

[low dew]

@odd flower because they need to select show player servers

you have to select that to sort the trash from the good servers

[lofty junco]

When is ragnarok coming to asa

[low dew]

July @lofty junco

[odd flower]

I told them to do so but they still can't find it

[fallow marsh]

Anyone have an idea why adding GlobalVoiceChat=True under the gameusersettings wouldnt work?

[icy mauve]

Do I need to remove the turkey trial event mod from my server?
Will we keep all the items etc? will it auto remove all turkeys? As we still have them on our server and we can still farm wishbones

[cursive gazelle]

anoye dealing with fast time issue?

my server was 71 days and i did a restart, and now is 713 💀

[manic coral]

I only added tek binocular to white drops, but that is working fine and the swrver has not crashes once since launch. I am also using beacon to edit stuff. No idea if it crashes if you stwrt going crazy with editing Drops. Just to share my experience 😄

[wise kindle]

I had this, had to roll back my map cuz the time skip was crashing it out repeatedly.

[karmic valley]

it's a mistake

The game expel alone from the tribe

The game kicked me out 20 times for no reason.

I already restarted and deleted the game

[cursive gazelle]

i discovered was a mod i was using in my case, survival ambient mod

[wise kindle]

Mine was just a general game corruption, I dont use that mod.

[icy mauve]

Do I need to remove the turkey trial event mod from my server?

[harsh pilot]

What’s the imprint command for asa I tried setimprintquality 1 it won’t work

[deep flower]

I also wonder this. I think Turkeys and Logos will go away but HOPEFULLY cosmetics will stay.

[icy mauve]

so, I should remove the mod to stop the event?

[deep flower]

Yep! That would stop it.

I will be replacing the turkey event with the winter wonderland event tomorrow

[jade folio]

I always play PVE but I want to start killing my baby Ovis. I play with my kids and we are all on the tribe. Should i switch to PvP or just enable friendly fire?

[wise kindle]

enable friendly fire - but note that if you have unclaimed babies you cannot kill them. Claim them first then kill them.

[violet tide]

If you enable friendly fire, you also have to be aware that you can now hurt each other, so if you're caving together, you need to be really careful

imo safer to just enable pvp since you're all in the same tribe

[celest halo]

Hold a sword and hold e on the ovis should give an option to kill it in PvE

[icy mauve]

clear, will do that as well

[languid plank]

Hold a pickaxe or an axe, hold the interact till the wheel menu pops up, select slaughter. Harvest that glorious mutton.

[humble thicket]

Any Xbox players on unofficial having issues with up on the dpad and left trigger not doing anything? My controller works, not sure if an update to a mod can cause this issue.

Restarted game multiple times.

[harsh pilot]

What’s the imprint command for asa I tried setimprintquality 1 it won’t work neither will setbabyage

[solemn zephyr]

Gotta put cheat in front

[harsh pilot]

Much appreciated everyone I’m an idiot and fast traveled forgot to enable cheats again 😂

[winged cave]

Having the same issues on PS5. The hotbar seems to be completely broken. Even tried removing mods. Nothing is working. Not even the admin Red Gun under unoffical servers.
@zealous aurora is Wildcard aware of these issues since the latest update. Game is pretty unplayable at the moment.

[wise kindle]

Remove the Return the Beacon mod @winged cave

It has a bug that remaps the LT and associated dpad controls. The modder is working on an update.

[sullen heath]

if you cannot click the show player server: change reslution scale to 100 or windowed mode

[wise kindle]

Remove the Return the Beacon mod.

[winged cave]

Thank you very much. I will try that now.

[humble thicket]

Beautiful.

[elfin tapir]

Is there any way to acess your Game.ini on console? (Even if you have do something convoluted.)

On Xbox and trying to increase my item stack size without touching the hot mess that is the current line up of stack mods

[cyan linden]

Anyone know if we’re ever going to be able to host our own server on an Xbox? Unsure of who to ask for an official answer.

[hearty wedge]

have you tried running the wingdk (Xbox PC app) client to see if it syncs the save data from the Xbox that includes the .ini files? I'm pretty sure it does for the big .ark file, so there's a decent chance it's just the whole /SavedArksLocal folder. Then you'd be able to sync it to PC, modify it, play again on PC to automatically upload it, then sync it back to Xbox.

Other than that, if you have access to a computer with 16+GB of RAM, you can just host your own dedicated server for free (pinned messages have good instructions) -- that can be nicer for a bunch of reasons anyhow

[elfin tapir]

I didn't even know this was a thing. I'll try it out when I can and see of it works. Thanks for thr information

[faint fulcrum]

I have my own nitrado server, how can I change the raising rate ??

[distant hearth]

replied in another channell

[delicate sage]

How many connections would 2 gig symmetric host for ASA?

[grizzled meteor]

many

30 users use about 1.5 MB/s upstream

i have a question.. is it only me that dislikes the split of unofficial server to nitrado and so called "player servers" which are the non nitrado unofficial servers.. why don't they make a tab for Nitrado Servers explicit and leave the unofficials be unofficials... i have to tick the "player servers" checkbox everytime to find my own server.. not even favourites are working without ticking that checkbox again... i know you have a deal with nitrado but letting us serious unofficial hosters down that way.. im not sure.. becaus ASE only survived because of us unofficial hosters as most official servers wasnt playable because there was too little GM attention. is it only me that feels this way?

[sullen heath]

its their way to try to kill off unofficials

Nitrado forced them to do it i guess

[distant hearth]

funny thing its probbably caused more hype about non nitrado non officials lolz

[cyan linden]

I just wanna be able to host a server on my Xbox lol

[distant hearth]

xbox can barely run the game, let alone host an do it well

[grizzled meteor]

yea but come on, they can at least save that checkbox tick in a local variable so you dont have to tick it again everytime... a seperate tab for nitrado servers would still make more sense tho

don't try to host a server on xbox 😉 i bet it would even apply the bad chat filter they have on global chat for everyone 😄

[celest halo]

Lmao they can't even get favorites to save and that's been there since day one

[grizzled meteor]

i know.. how can you create such a huge game and not be able to store a local profile

[celest halo]

IDK I figured with 8 years experience making an other game they would of learned how to save a favorites server listing

[distant hearth]

they never figured it out for ase, same devs, makes sense they still dont know lmao

[grizzled meteor]

maybe opensource the ASA launcher so we can contribute and store a nice json array in a text file with the favorites 😛

[cursive gazelle]

does anyone play 600lvl difficulty ?

[distant hearth]

used to on ase

[cyan linden]

I haven’t had any problems on Xbox playing by myself, in a server, or just non dedicated with friends. It’s been great besides the tethering.

[distant hearth]

i dont want to sound rude, so dont take it taht way, but compare it too a medium pc playing the game an you wud be suprised how much its already capped down for xbox . the tethering is odd, not sure why they do it

[marsh drift]

Hi, I'm new to programming servers, I'm looking for someone who can help me.

I want my server to be able to raid offline but it's harder, i.e. when the tribe disconnects the turrets and the base health increases.

Can someone tell me how to do this? thnks

[distant hearth]

i dont think that is possible , you have orp on , or off, there isnt any settings i know that can change the item/turret base health that way

[heady pagoda]

this can be achieved with plugins but i dont know of any mods that can do it

[marsh drift]

anyidea?

[cyan linden]

All good no offense taken. I definitely know it looks and runs way better on Pc. I just play Ark on my Xbox more than I do Pc. I hosted an ASE server on a second Xbox that had a profile in a family plan so it wasn’t really any additional cost other than buying the game. Just wanted basically the privacy of my own server to customize with a few friends playing too. Buuuuut I don’t wanna pay nitrado lol

[heady pagoda]

google for something that fits your game version (SE or SA), has the features you want and is at the price point you're willing you pay

[wanton hinge]

Nitrado is an amazing host. They got top of the line hardware and guaranteed no lag. They can guarantee your server won't be filtered out too!

[sullen heath]

you forgot something

[wanton hinge]

Oh sorry. Their prices are super cheap and affordable.

[sullen heath]

still missing the /s 😏

[rugged tendon]

can you cluster for ASA or no ?

[sullen heath]

no

[rugged tendon]

thanks

[distant hearth]

not with out mods at the mo and there kinda sketchy

[rugged tendon]

thanks

[errant fox]

Is there a way to turn off the censoring on the server or at least modify it? I'm trying to color a dino for someones order and I can't use the number 3, so I can't change that region.

[sullen heath]

you cant, its a microsoft thing

[errant fox]

yeah I figured just wanted to check in. wish there was a mod for it lol

[odd flower]

can we direct connect to a server for ASA?

[wise kindle]

Use 003 instead of 3, or 036 instead of albino white 36.

[solemn zephyr]

Can try 03.

I know on ase 10 was blocked for console but 010 would work

Snow beat me to it! Legend

[errant fox]

Yeah I figured it out guys I just wasn't paying attention to where it was going just assumed it was the censoring like they do some of these other colors

[broken ruin]

is there a way to disable chat filter on a hosted server? xbox players are getting things like the number 14 bleeped out, super random things

[distant hearth]

nah, its microsoft end that filters xbox chat far as i know

[tacit ether]

Just do what I did and what everyone else has done lol go post shitty reviews on steam and google till they fix there fuck up with nitrado

[solemn zephyr]

Everyone calls it a fuck up but doesn't think it's not a quickly recoverable fuck up...

They took out an almost $5M line of credit with Nitrado to even launch this game

And then went back and did another $7.5M

I get the Nitrado hate stability wise, but from a business standpoint - they've done their thing hands down.

[wanton hinge]

Bad business decisions are the community's problem how?

[torpid wedge]

Maybe Nitrado should use some of their money that they have to make their service not suck.

[sullen heath]

pff... max profit for lowest effort

[torpid wedge]

Lmao. The bottom line is happy, then who cares, right?

[gloomy lake]

anyone else getting server restart loop bug with nitrado today?

everyone once in awhile, my automated restart bugs out and the server just gets stuck in a restart loop

[solemn zephyr]

No one said that.

[torpid wedge]

Been dealing with that sporadically for 7 years

[wanton hinge]

They seem to be filtering away the community

[distant hearth]

right, its always fun reinstalling game an hoping that it might cure rather than wait 3 days for shitrado supports, luckily it wasnt a super common thing when i had ase servers

[solemn zephyr]

So, I see both sides.. on ASE, Steam was about 30% of the "community"... PS and Xbox were FORCED to used Nitrado (minus the few PS people who used trash GPOrtal), at the end of the day I can't hate Nitrado for making sure they get their money back when Snail Games USA failed to pay the bill

[uncut copper]

what would help with performance in ark

[distant hearth]

r.volumetriccloud 0 in the console command gains like 10 fps for me

[uncut copper]

alright

[distant hearth]

also makes it so u can actually se whn ure up in the volcano gathering metal

[uncut copper]

(if im on the island)

but nice

[gloomy lake]

If I remove a mod when my server is stopped. Then readd the mod before I start the server…. Does that do anything?

[distant hearth]

yea the volcano on the island

[gloomy lake]

I’m thinking the griffin mod is causing me a problem but I don’t want to remove it and destroy everyone’s griffins lol

[distant hearth]

not really other than making you press buttons

[gloomy lake]

That’s what I figured…

[distant hearth]

so here is what you can do. check when the last backup was note its time an date , if its nice an recent, have no one go on server, remove the mod ,start server an you test. if all good , then mod janky. it not , reinstall mod an load the backup that you noted befor an server is in same state

[wise kindle]

On Nitrado maps it can fix issues with the mod. It makes your map reload it on restart, provided you are hitting the SAVE button after you remove it and hitting it again after you readd it.

[gloomy lake]

Got it

[gloomy lake]

And that’s not gonna remove the existing tamed creatures for a creature mod?

[proper condor]

I will be renting a nitrado server probably later tonight when I get off work if theirs anyone who don’t mind and has time to walk me thru it this is the first time doing one plz dm me

[wise kindle]

No because you didnt start the map up between saves.

[rustic falcon]

Question on Single Player as I'm testing some things. I don't recall how my single player server was started, but I wasn't able to pickup dinos with flyers.

I now have Flyer Carry "On", but still can't pick up dinos. I've only tested with flyer tames that I had previously. Do I need to release those tames and retame or do anything else for the setting to take hold?

[ornate raptor]

Does anyone know if there is a setting to increase the effectivness of the rhynio cravings?

[low dew]

if i was to guess and this is purly a guess it would probably fall under imprinting effectivness @ornate raptor but i cannot confirm if thats true or not

[distant hearth]

rhynio craves are a seperate thing to imprints , so no other wise u wud be able use the imprint glitch/bug on the cravings ,
The cravings are generated in the host somehow, far as i know there isnt a setting for it yet

[low dew]

Stupid bug is a glitch / bug got nerfed it's pretty much useless tame

[distant hearth]

i can pick up a yuty an very slowly drop it in a trap, bout all seems good for

[low dew]

You used to fly fast picking up stuff now it's slower then the turtle on the beaches

[distant hearth]

i never had one wen it flew fast , soo i guess im lucky not to know lolz

[low dew]

This was before they patched it you can go back through the patch notes and see

It basically flew full speed carrying

[distant hearth]

yea everyone on server i play was moaning bout, they was considering adding the mod to change it back

[low dew]

There's a mod to make them useful again oh man I must have this it's a hard enough animal to tame to have it nerfed like that sucked

[wanton hinge]

True

Still want my Player Hosted Servers filter to save.

[snow fox]

anyone have success replacing pegos and/or itchys with otters or dung beetles? my script removed the pegos and itchys, but doesn't want to replace

[distant hearth]

shud just be this in game ini, dino wipe after
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName=“Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C”,ToClassName=“Otter_Character_BP_C”)
(FromClassName=“Pegomastax_Character_BP_C”,ToClassName=“Dungbeetle_Character_BP_C”)

[snow fox]

that's exaclty what i'm using actually lol

[distant hearth]

hmm , potentially they changed it in asa but i doubt as every other seems same , do you say it just removes the dino u want to replace

tried one at a time? might be they need same line but comma instead two seperate instances

[snow fox]

yeah, it does remove them. it won't replace them

i'll give that a shot. i appreciate your response!

[distant hearth]

no problem, id deffo try just one see if works, but i thought it shud how is lol soooo..

[wispy schooner]

Pve nitrado question: is there a way to make structures locked by default on pve? Added a line of code to the bottom of the user settings ini but the only thing players can lock is doors and gates

[distant hearth]

ForceAllStructureLocking=True in game user ini

[wispy schooner]

It didn't work :/ but I put it at the bottom under the server message :/

[distant hearth]

check the ini first for that code, if it set to false make it true, if it not there add it

[wispy schooner]

Ima go double check that

[distant hearth]

nah needs to go under [serversettings]

[rustic falcon]

Any potential feedback to this? It seems that any setting changes, even adding mods don't make it into Single Player.

[wispy schooner]

Ima go move it right meow

[distant hearth]

easy mistake , done it myself, also had it where i added an the one in there over rides becuase it was above an set false lol

[distant hearth]

are you starting the game , playing for a bit and saving it?

[rustic falcon]

I have saved the settings if that's what you mean.

[wispy schooner]

Trying it now added it in the blank line at the bottom of ther server settings section, does it need a space between each section? @distant hearth

[distant hearth]

you need to play in the world for a bit , then save

[languid forge]

After removing "Turkey Trial" from your unofficial server, did anyone notice that a few of your tames were removed as well?

[distant hearth]

no but it looks neater if you do have a space between headings and easier to find things later on

[rustic falcon]

just the act of saving, while in game, will make settings changes go live?

[distant hearth]

thats what others have reported, they have to do the settings, play game for a bit, save there world/game w.e , then they seem save properly . im parroting becuase i dont play singleplayer

[rustic falcon]

I guess worth a shot. Just strange not being able to get the Flyer Carry setting to take hold

[wispy schooner]

You rock that fixed it

[languid forge]

I am running an unofficial server via Steamcmd. I removed the Turkey Trial event yesterday from my server and many people in the server are reporting their event colored tames just vanished. Wtf. I thought the mod would not remove tames...

[midnight atlas]

Anyone know how to edit the boss element drop amount on the island?

[distant hearth]

depends on which one, beacon app/program is your friend with drop coding m theres a free version

[midnight atlas]

Just wondering if there was some handy INI i could toss in and edit easily

[distant hearth]

each boss and level of boss has a differnt drop, so you gotta code them all seperately

[past field]

Anyone know if there's a way to undo the change that made brontos and stegos worthless for getting berries?

theres the code to add 50 ele to monkey easy , the rest you can work out from it

[grizzled meteor]

linux binaries when?

[half elbow]

Hey everyone! I need some serious help. My server is completely borked due to ARK bugs.

[grizzled meteor]

oh no

[half elbow]

I spawn in, and I don't have my survivors implant, with any of my items. Nor can I craft anything, and I must kill my character to gain all of this back.

But when I respawn, all of my dinos saddles disappear, and I cannot ride them. However, rejoining causes this entire loop to happen again.

[grizzled meteor]

never had something like this, you have no backup?

[half elbow]

I do not have a backup. I'm still setting up the server and testing values before I began backing up.

I never thought it'd be this broken.

[grizzled meteor]

how can saddles even disappear?

[half elbow]

They disappear from the inventory of every dino in the world.

[grizzled meteor]

very fancy

[half elbow]

They ghost though, they're not actually gone.

Just like my character inventory when I login.

[grizzled meteor]

sounds more like a client issue?

can you test it on another pc?

[half elbow]

I cannot. I do not have another PC or console.

I also play solo for the moment.

[grizzled meteor]

did you verify your gamefiles?

[half elbow]

I can try doing that, one sec.

[grizzled meteor]

yea try that.. this does not sound normal ^^

[half elbow]

The ghosting of my inventory happened since I began playing on the server. The saddles disappearing did not, and I do not have mods on either side.

[distant hearth]

likely your save file for charachter got corrupted , find where game is installed go to , shootergame/saved/localprofiles/ and delete that playerlocaldata.arkprofile , be aware this will reset all your settings, graphics, prefences ,keybinds etc
happened to me on steam version

[half elbow]

It is a client side bug, both of what I speak of. And looking up in this Discord, I'm not the only one who's had this bug.

The issue for me, is it's looping, and I cannot get rid of it.

[hearty wedge]

How big are everyone's TheIsland_WP.ark files relative to how many players/tames are running around? I just found a bizarre issue in the save data (filed a bug for it) and I'm wondering how bad it could really get; I'm pretty sure that tames that get heavy use end up with tens of thousands of empty values in their save data and can bloat to many hundreds of kilobytes (maybe even more) in the save data; my server is super tiny (two people) and >5MB of the 91MB save is coming from this (growing) bloat on <20 dinos

[grizzled meteor]

500mb each file

9gb in total atm, growing

[half elbow]

If you look in the #ark-survival-ascended and #general chat, I'm having these issues.

[distant hearth]

didi u try what i suggested?

[grizzled meteor]

do what @distant hearth told you, if it dosnt work reinstall the game.. make sure all files got deleted before

[half elbow]

I am right now, I'm waiting.

No files were broken from what I can tell.

Let me wipe my player profile.

Will this wipe my character from the server or no?

[grizzled meteor]

no

players are stored on the server not local on your client

well depends, do you run a dedicated server?

[half elbow]

Yes

[grizzled meteor]

is your server on another machine?

[half elbow]

Yes

[grizzled meteor]

yea then go.. you can do what ever you want with the client

character is stored on the server

[half elbow]

All my settings and stuff are the same, and it appears to have worked. I'm not sure yet, since it could be by chance. However, thank you if it did.

I'll let you know after playing for a few more days.

[half elbow]

^

[grizzled meteor]

willz always have the best hints ^^

[half elbow]

Oh! I wonder, if it's because of all the fatal crashes I've been having.

I've been crashing nonstop.

[grizzled meteor]

most likely

[distant hearth]

wont help, crashes d3d12 related?

[grizzled meteor]

disable menu transition ingame

[half elbow]

Yes, d3d12

[half elbow]

I've always had it disabled. Since ARK Survival Evolved 🤣

[distant hearth]

anything rtx related , turn it off, if you still crash turn off foilage interaction

[half elbow]

I am on AMD, I don't have Nvidia.

[half elbow]

I also already turned that off for performance

[distant hearth]

hmm , your first i seen with amd crashing

[devout robin]

anyone know how to resolve error! App '2430930' state is 0x602 after update job?

[distant hearth]

anyway its gpu related, so usual crap, turn down setings a till it dont crash

[half elbow]

Fr xD

Also, did this new minor patch really fix fog when you use r.VolumetricCloud 0, or is that a coincidence?

Because now, it doesn't make the world clear. It just cleans the clouds.

[distant hearth]

that code has only ever removed clouds, its the only one i use so i dunno bout the others , the fog everyone complains bout on the mountains is actually that there in the clouds

[half elbow]

Ohh LOL

That sucks actually

[distant hearth]

anyway i got get some sleep, hope you get it all sorted

[half elbow]

Thanks for the help! I think that did fix my issue with ghosting items.

[devout robin]

idk what is happening, i was able to play for the first few weeks, took a 2 week break and wouldnt work anymore, tried again today and it still wont go

[grizzled meteor]

copy your saves away and reinstall the server, some files are broken I think, I hope your saves are well.. thats why i full backup the whole server every hour including all game files 🙂

[grizzled meteor]

anyone found out how to use "broadcast" via rcon?

[jovial iron]

Which nitrado settings do I use to allow me to build on ruins?

[haughty pollen]

Has there been any further news on when transfers will enable so private servers can have multiple maps

[jovial iron]

We don’t have more than one map yet.

[haughty pollen]

On private we do

[sullen heath]

we have..... mod maps

[haughty pollen]

Svart….

[sweet bridge]

Guys I'm having issues, can't deliver items to players via console/rcon. can someone help me out? I know the command is giveitemtoplayer but it doesnt seem to work

ASA btw

[gleaming ocean]

I think bIgnoreStructuresPreventionVolumes or EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes

[ripe yoke]

Transfers won’t happen till scorched earth is released

[covert elbow]

So does anyone know how you trigger Winter Wonderland event on a nitrado server ?

[grizzled meteor]

its not released yet, its a mod

´If you would like to enable Winter Wonderland on your private servers, please the mod ID to your server command-line launch arguments (-mods=modID). No other changes should be necessary to activate the event.
We'll share the mod ID in the patch notes when the event goes live.´

[jovial iron]

How do I cancel nitrado service?

[delicate sage]

Anyone have their PSU go up in flames playing ASA lol?

[south wave]

no...

[ripe yoke]

“In order to exercise the execution of the contract, the customer has to explicitly inform Nitrado. This can be done via mail, over the phone or by email, including your decision to revoke this contract”

[grizzled meteor]

-clusterid= when?

[shrewd snow]

I have a PS5 setup question. If I want to play 2-player split screen local, do I have to customize all the settings to mimic official servers, or is the game delivered that way?

Also, for 2-player split screen local, do I need 1 copy of the game, or does each player need to have purchased it?

[olive talon]

As far as I know, there is no longer splitscreen co-op for ASA.

@dapper hound this is not the correct channel. You can use #general for complaints. Thanks.

[hollow pilot]

Is there an issue with servers

Unofficial Is not showing up at times it’s says disconnect

[scenic beacon]

Anyone have any good settings for a server for a few people with high Dino density?

[warped talon]

I cant get the Svartalfheim map to show up with my nitrado server. ive got the map name set to custom and Svartalfheim_WP named in it, but the server will not show up?

Any Tips?

The server goes into a restart loop

[deep flower]

Do you have any mods?

[warped talon]

Yes but the server was working perfectly fine before adding Svartalfheim

[deep flower]

Some mods crash on the map.

[distant hearth]

one mod might be clashing with svart. its ussually best when adding a map to just the mod map first , get the server to boot, then bring it down an add others

[warped talon]

so remove all the others and try adding one by one?

[distant hearth]

get the mod map to boot first, before anything else

[deep flower]

DM me your battlemetrics if you feel comfortable, i can tell you

But yeah do what willz said

[warped talon]

okay

[deep flower]

The Dienosuchus for me works on island and crash loops on Svart

[white pasture]

We are having an issue with some people being able to join our server, but others can not see it in the in game server browser. Nothing has changed on our end of the server at all any ideas on what could be causing this? (This is not a Nitrado hosted server it is a server just running on a windows machine with all ports properly forwarded)

[distant hearth]

they are pressing the player server button thingy?

[white pasture]

no it just flat out say no sessions found

it is a dedicated server still just so you know

we are running the ark server stuff just on windows compared to paying for nitrado. Saves a ton of money

[hollow pilot]

What’s with the servers keeps saying lost connection timed out !?

Is this a Nitrado ? Issue

[distant hearth]

is this ase or asa?

[white pasture]

asa

[odd flower]

Anyone know why I can't see player names on my server I have the floating names set to true am I missing something else?

[white pasture]

and yes I have hit the refresh button many times to see if it was just bugging out (did it for like 5 minutes)

[distant hearth]

do you have your own settings set to show them, i.e just a you issue or everyone

[odd flower]

It's a everyone issue

[white pasture]

But I can join the server via the open IP:PORT

[distant hearth]

they added in that extra button you have to check each time you try join a player server now

[white pasture]

it is a dedicated server though

or does that still count as a player server since it is not Nitrado

[distant hearth]

yea a player server mate

[white pasture]

that is so dumb

[distant hearth]

yep

[distant hearth]

is this a nitrado server?

[odd flower]

No but the problem happened with a nitrado server

[deep flower]

ETA on Winter Wonderland?

[distant hearth]

oh , thats weird for it to happen on two servers, you sure not a typo, its easily done

[odd flower]

I will check for the 4th time but I didn't see any typo it's odd it just happened a while back after once a update happend so I though maybe it was a bug but idk

[distant hearth]

[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings]
bFloatingNames=true

it is like that , under that heading for ase, i havent seen a asa server but wud expect it go in same place

[odd flower]

That's what I have in the gameusersettings so idk I am 100% lost on thay issue for my server

[distant hearth]

it doesnt go under [ServerSettings] just to make sure you got in the right place

so it shud be under the second heading in the game uer ini, double check that there isnt an instance in there that says false

[odd flower]

I will check this when I get home

[tacit ether]

Don't use garbage ass Nitrado would be my 1st tip.

[regal iris]

Anyone know the official WildMaxSpawn for theriz? Them things are over populated I want to lower it

[blissful trout]

Anyone else’s server being glitchy? I cannot use the tool put in my up arrow spot and my dinos won’t do the left trigger attacks!

[torn eagle]

For people who struggle to start their own local server (or not local), the script I created " Naarin/ARK-Survival-Ascended-Server-Batch " on GitHub. It is basic but does the work well!

[distant hearth]

there are some mods that have been causing theese issues

[blissful trout]

You know which ones by chance?

[distant hearth]

sry i dont, worth checking the discord of the mods you use

[desert knoll]

did you uninstall turkey trial?

[outer frost]

Can anyone help? Trying to change the stacking amount for fiber/hide/org poly and a few other things, not sure on what code to configure it with. Any help would be muchly appreciated 🙌🏼

[warped talon]

Have to with ASA

[frank egret]

no you dont

[tacit ether]

LOL

[torn eagle]

You can start you server on your own machine

[tacit ether]

No you do NOT.. nitrado is garbage

[frank egret]

have been able to do that for over a month now lol

[peak sapphire]

What’s the minimum costs of running a server on own machine?

[deep flower]

NITRADO 💩

[frank egret]

what do you mean by cost?

like buying the parts and stuff or electic bill wise?

[deep flower]

Depends how many maps you want to cluster

And you got to pay for good internet

[tacit ether]

I run an ASE cluster and ASA server on 2 machines and my electric bill is like $5 more LOL

[torn eagle]

if you have 6+ cores CPU you can host a small server on 2 cores

[deep flower]

and a good PSU battery backup costs about $80

[distant hearth]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_Organic_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=180,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

this in game ini stacks org poly to 180, adjust as needed and alter class string for the other items

[tacit ether]

The costs of building a machine to host games from is a FUCK ton cheaper in the long run vs. giving $ to shitty server hosting companies like nitrado

[frank egret]

100%

[deep flower]

1000x . those rented servers are trash specs

They split 1 giga machine into 100 computers

[frank egret]

i built a 32 core 64 thread beast with 256gb of memory and watercooled it for less then $1500

[wise kindle]

Remove the “Return the Beacon” mod it has a controller bug.

[deep flower]

🔥

[distant hearth]

my internet cant handle it, i gonna look into renting server space or something when s.e comes out

[torn eagle]

doubt ?

[deep flower]

Nah thats about right. What speed ram?

[frank egret]

got two 16 core xeon cpu for $30 a piece and a dual socket board for $150

2666 i believe and its ecc

[tacit ether]

what store did you rob for 2x16core xeons for $30?

[frank egret]

ebay lol

[tacit ether]

and what chinese store can i buy em from

[frank egret]

ill send you a link to the one si have

[torn eagle]

oh i see it is old xeon cpu

[tacit ether]

I got 2 xeons in my poweredge at 40cores 😛

512gb ram

[frank egret]

mine hit 3.8 ghz and are on water so they just stay pegged and cool

[deep flower]

DDR3 ?

[tacit ether]

4

[frank egret]

ddr4

[deep flower]

hot damn

[frank egret]

and its samsung memory

[tacit ether]

mines not water cooled.. no clue how to watercool a poweredge R720 LOL

[frank egret]

memory was the most expensive part

[deep flower]

8 Sticks yeah?

[tacit ether]

put a fish tank on top of it?

[frank egret]

mine are in a rackable chassis too

ive got a 25u rack

[deep flower]

What about your download/upload speeds

[frank egret]

just made a plate for the top of it and cut a hole for that big alphacool rad

[tacit ether]

My poweredge is a rackable version.. but it's just sitting on a table on blocks 😛

[frank egret]

wanna say i paid like $200 for my 4 post rack

running 24 ASE servers on that one machine

[tacit ether]

and WildCard said we weren't smart enough to self-host

[frank egret]

its not that we arent smart enough it that we are better at it lol

[distant hearth]

you cud cut a hole in a box an throw it in, likely still better than nitrado

[blissful trout]

Thank you! There was an update to it but it doesn’t look like it fixed the problem. I will uninstall it for now.

[tacit ether]

the ASA PC i built.. the case was delayed 5 days from shipping.. I actually THOUGHT about putting the PC parts in a cardboard box to launch the server

[frank egret]

could aslo just get an external rad bracket and have it on top of the schassis

[distant hearth]

you dont actually need that mod anymore, the ingame tracker takes to body now an doesnt disapeer like used to when get close

[frank egret]

also got 2 other chassis and all three are in the same water loop

[tacit ether]

I hope a seal leaks

[frank egret]

can remove them without killing the loop as well, if anyone wants some tips or advice on rack building feel free to hit me up

oh they wont lol, been watercooling for about 10 years now never had a leak

its all about prep and testing

[outer frost]

Is there a place I can find all the item names?

[frank egret]

google it, theres even sites that will let you select the items and make the code for you

or theres a guy that posted a list and you can just copy paste the lines you want

[distant hearth]

dammit cant link, google beacon asa spawn codes

[tacit ether]

I legit googled em and copy and pasted em into my files and tweaked em how i wanted

[frank egret]

same here

[scenic beacon]

Is there a library for different setups for a server? Looking for a good set of settings for a solo/3 man server with boosted rates but not too op

[tacit ether]

considering you can host a 1-3 man server off a fisher price computer... i'd recommend just goin on solo and messing with settings till you like em.

[frank egret]

yea then you can just take that ini and paste it into server files

[scenic beacon]

Cheers will give it a go

[wise kindle]

He just put out an fix for it today, it will take a day or two to hit the server side. I removed it and will probably readd it when it hits server side.

[tacit ether]

Everyone is different.. it's honestly alot of plug and play.. pick 1 setting at a time and test it.. if you like it leave it.. and go onto the next one.

We can help ya if you get stuck on a specific setting though

[distant hearth]

i remember first time trying do an ase server it took me weeks, dint have a clue what i was doing, but all the info is on google , just gotta take the effort

[tacit ether]

lol same took me 5-6 weeks of testing and adjusting, 2 years later i still end up tweaking some settings

if my player base votes on something specific they want adjusted

[distant hearth]

makes sense , especially if a player base changes over time etc

[tacit ether]

ye.. im not the type of server host to tell my player base to fuck off like wildcard 😛 i'll change settings lol

[scenic beacon]

Yeah hadn't even thought of doing it like that honestly, spend a few hours fiddling with it on the nitrado page but either felt too op or like there were no dinos around so will have to mess around with them a bit

[tacit ether]

you're going to run in to a shit ton of issues with nitrado lol their servers don't work right

[scenic beacon]

That's actually really cool to hear lots of server I've played on admins refuse to adapt, what kinds server do you run?

[distant hearth]

asa does seem to have less dinos in places, or feels that way to me

[scenic beacon]

Yh I'd noticed lmao

[frank egret]

you woul dbe better off paying someone else less and get more lol

[tacit ether]

I only self-host a 12 map ASE cluster and an ASA server.. i used to host a Rust server for 3 years but shut it down

[frank egret]

never did a rust server, got 24 ASE servers a asa server, 7dtd, valhiem, and few other random ones ive had freinds request

[tacit ether]

I don't host a server unless i can commit my time to running it. otherwise i'd host more

[frank egret]

linux or windows?

[tacit ether]

Windows

[frank egret]

with the ase maps you would get like 50-70% better performance with linux

[scenic beacon]

No that's fair honestly better to focus on having a few good servers that you can manage than a load of then you can't rlly manage in a good amount of timr

[tacit ether]

possibly.. but i self learned what i know now to host what i do

i'm not learning Linux LOL

[frank egret]

i did the same thing

tbh linux is pretty simple most of the stuff you can just copy paste off sites

[sick tundra]

How are things looking performance-wise overall?

[frank egret]

i have a server manager i use on linux that works pretty good and to change settings i just ftp into the server and change them in notepad like you would in windows

it does take a bit more to setup in linux but once its done the rest is easier to manage

even setup the dynamic settings stuff

[tacit ether]

even if it runs better.. i don't host ASA on the same machine as my ASE. the ASE clusters been online with no issues for 2years. I've had friends try to get me to learn linux

[distant hearth]

if my missus put out more , my perfomance might increase lolz, you gonna need be bit more specific

[tacit ether]

I never took the time to learn linux because on Rust, the anti-cheat has issues with linux and doesn't work right

[frank egret]

i do the same i have my two ase clusters on one machine and my asa on another and the other games i run on a third machine and can manage everything in a single web ui'

[tacit ether]

Isn't ark supposed to release the x-mas event today?

[distant hearth]

yea no eta yet though

[tacit ether]

It's probably delayed til Feb

[frank egret]

probably gonna be a bliind drop like the turkey on elol

[distant hearth]

in theory it shud just be a mod that drops, but we will see if they need an update to break more things too

[frank egret]

yep

[tacit ether]

I just cant' believe how badly the fucked up this game launch lol

[distant hearth]

i was expecting after all the years of ase issues, i wasnt dissapointed

[frank egret]

anyone that wasnt expecting it hasnt been aroun dlong enough lol

[tacit ether]

oh no.. i was expecting the server issues/bugs.. What i wasn't expecting is attempting to monopolize hosting to a shit company.

[frank egret]

if you paid attention you woulda seen it coming

[distant hearth]

oh right , that was on the cards, they monapolized xbox servers for ase

[frank egret]

i saw it coming as soon as it went from free to paid and then more when it came out snail was having money issues

[distant hearth]

especially when it came out they borrowed from nitrado

[tacit ether]

I might of saw it coming.. just wanted to be in denial of it

[frank egret]

sounds about right lol

everyone needs a bit of wishful thinking now and then i suppose

[tacit ether]

I had no issue paying for a terrible remaster.. but they fucked this up by involving nitrado lol

I'm pretty sure the player base would support the game

[distant hearth]

if i used stm cmd to make my own server , just for myself to learn how, wud the data when playing the game be uploaded an downloaded, or just go through computer, sry im not really very tech savvy

[tacit ether]

if you use steam CMD.. all player data, map data and tribe data is saved in 1 file under saved

[frank egret]

that depends on how you set it up and whether you forwarded ports or not

[distant hearth]

ok thanks, i will just play around, nothing to lose, basically just wanna learn how it done tbh for the future

[tacit ether]

he said he wasn't tech savy trident 😛 it's saved on the PC 😛

[frank egret]

thats fair

[distant hearth]

i understand basics an know how to google, i will be fine 😛

[tacit ether]

google and youtube.. who needs school!

[frank egret]

right lol

[tacit ether]

If it's online.. it's true!

[distant hearth]

yea aint that right, i learnt bga repair on xbox 360 frrom google, youtube and forums

[frank egret]

just gotta be careful what you google sometimes not everything on the internet is tru elol

[distant hearth]

good point, im used to sifting through useless crap though

[frank egret]

good skill to have these days lol

[distant hearth]

i actually dont do it no more i never really kept up, i know how but its such a pita and the equipment isnt exactly cheap

[frank egret]

you would be surprised what you can do on budget if you look hard enough

[distant hearth]

worst thing is getting good quality supplies, as i was only very small scale , it was difficult to get good quality consistantly

[tacit ether]

I bought my poweredge R720, 40cores and 512gb ram for $950

[frank egret]

ebay was my freind when building my main server, the other two were from stuff i had laying around and just upgraded over time

[frank egret]

thats not a bad deal, i went 4u just so i dont have to hear that crazy fan noise

[tacit ether]

Mine doesn't have fan noise tho ?

[frank egret]

really? were the fans changed out?

[tacit ether]

Nope.. it was delivered a little dirty and noisy at first.. but i don't hear the fans anymore

[frank egret]

are they still on lmao

[tacit ether]

I however hear the FAN i have running in front of my PCs LOL becuase in a small 10x12 room with 4 PCs.. it's hot as FUCK in here! so i have a fan blowing out the door

[frank egret]

ah thats y u cant hear them lol

[tacit ether]

😄

[frank egret]

touche

i have my rack right next to me so i needed the quiet

[tacit ether]

I keep my house as 68 and my computer/gaming room is like 80

[frank egret]

hence the watercooling

i got a pretty good size room that my stuff is in and in the summer i wheel a portable ac in here

winter time i just open the sliding door lol

[tacit ether]

I live in the country on LP.. i can't afford to have heat escape

[frank egret]

im in a split level so he upper floor stays pretty warm even with the downstairs door open

[celest halo]

I don't hear the fans in my server either, buts it's normally not under that much load where the fans need to run high

[frank egret]

the other server gear i have came out of a data center so theyre configured to not give a crap about noise

has them high flow delta fans in em

[tacit ether]

I got no clue where my server came from lol

[frank egret]

being an actual server it probably came from a data center or a small business

[tacit ether]

i'm guessing a big company

[frank egret]

yea when they upgrade they just throw the whole unit out and typically a recycle place will come get it sort through whats good and bad and then resell it

[tacit ether]

it blocked me from saying my server has a sticker stating it's rack number?

[frank egret]

i was building an extension for amazon so i got to see how all that stuff works

[celest halo]

My server fans are only running at 3,250 rpm right now, both CPUs sitting at 40c

[frank egret]

yea i got two chassis i snatched from work with rack numbers and one even had the boot usb still in it

[tacit ether]

my cpu's are sitting at 20-24c atm

[celest halo]

17c inlet air temp and 29c outlet temp

[frank egret]

both mine are sitting at 33c with fans at 1500 rpm

using the arctic p12's

[celest halo]

Only using 182 watts so not much load on it lol

[frank egret]

not bad

my whole rack is pulling 400w

that modem router switch and 2 machines with 20 fans

[celest halo]

Don't know what my rack is pulling, there is the server, 2 tower PCs and network gear in it 🤣

[frank egret]

closer to 15 fans actually

[tacit ether]

What's your internet speeds? I'm capped at 1gb :/

[frank egret]

you dont have a UPS?

same here 1gig

to be fair thats all i need tho, runs the servers and streaming on the tv and stuff with no issues

[celest halo]

Have 2 of them in there, but they not rack mount kind

[frank egret]

do they not show power draw?

[celest halo]

Not home so can't look lol

[frank egret]

i killed one of my UPS trying to do a fan mod lol

[tacit ether]

What about modem/router/traffic?

[frank egret]

was the looudest thing in the rack and i got bored lol

[frank egret]

what do you mean?

[celest halo]

Server I can vpn into to see what it's doing

[tacit ether]

I feeel like my router is shit for the traffic i have

[frank egret]

i have a ubiquiti dream machine

with the 24 port ubiquiti switch

[celest halo]

Nice I have the UDM SE

[frank egret]

was well worth the littl emore

have had zero issues with this equipment so far

had a $500 assus router before this and this thing blows that out the water

[celest halo]

And a 16 port uniquiti switch and 2 access points

[frank egret]

ubiquiti is the way to go imo

enterprise level stuff at consumer pricing

[celest halo]

Yup, even if it's over kill for my 300/10 internet 🤣

[frank egret]

had a network engineer buddy of mine turn me onto them and i havent looked back since

better to be overkill then under perform lol

[tacit ether]

welp... i was to busy not knowing that even existed, so that's on my "to buy" list now lol

[frank egret]

they make link aggregation stupid simple too

[celest halo]

Mine is over kill I even have SPF fiber linking the UDM SE to the 16 port switch

[frank egret]

same here lol

was a $20 cable so why not have it

[tacit ether]

welp.. you girls have fun. i'm off to make lunch

[frank egret]

only thing im gonna change is either swap or add a 24 port poe switch for when i do my security system

[celest halo]

Don't know what mine was but it's fiber then SPF modules not a one peace

My 16 port switch is poe

[frank egret]

would need multi mode fiber for the spf to be siongle port

[celest halo]

That's how I run my access points and the one cam I have set up

[frank egret]

the way that is, one port does incoming traffic the other does out going

single mode fiber stuff is typically cheaper

got to learn all this fiber stuff at work

[celest halo]

The sfp modules I have are multi port, cable I have has 2 fiber ends in each side

[frank egret]

multi mode and single mod fiber cables are differnt int he connector and fiver itself

port and mode arent the same

multi mode fiber is basically multi layered fiber, one layer handles incoming other layer handles out going

so you get both in a single fiber rather then two seperate fibers like we have

[celest halo]

Ones I have are multi mode modules made by ubiquiti

[frank egret]

send me a link plz

[celest halo]

they only 1gbs, thats all the switch would handle switch is old

[frank egret]

ah i see what your saying, so the transciever is multi mode cuz one transciever is handling both in and out bound but the connectors and fiber your using is singlemode

[celest halo]

want to update it with switch that has 10gb sfp like the UDM SE has

[frank egret]

you can get transcievers that do just one single mode port each but its kind of a waste of spf ports lol

[celest halo]

yeah

[frank egret]

to be fair unless you had some crazy equipment going that needed that kinda back haul connection id just stick with what you got for now, if anything just add another spf of what you got and aggregate them

[stuck wigeon]

Anyone been able to get auto destroy decay structures to actually work?

Structures will decay, but won’t auto destroy

[celest halo]

Yeah, at some point would be nice to update my Nas to 10gb though lol

My desktop has a 10gb lan port so wouldn't need to update anything on that, just switch and Nas box

[pulsar stone]

Can someone help with me cross play pc windows-Xbox series s

[solemn zephyr]

What's the issue?

[vale flame]

Okay, so more then likely a dumb question, but does mod load order matter for a crossplatform server through nitrado? I have noticed that a few mods I add aren't working and I am wondering if it is because of load order, but I am completely unsure.

[distant hearth]

do the mods that dont work specifically state they need to be first ? anything like that ?

[wise kindle]

Also which mods dont work? And are you using a mod map?

[coarse tulip]

Any update on when the WW mod will be live?

[distant hearth]

no news yet 😦

[vale flame]

All the mods I am using don't state anything about load order sadly. I am also running into an issue where my players don't have an invintory...

[distant hearth]

player iventory issue is often a corrupted character file client side, unless its just into a specific mod item that causes it . mods are gonna be a bit buggy, they always are tbh

[vale flame]

Is there a way to fix the inventory issue without removing any mods?

[distant hearth]

they can delete there player data if on pc, not sure on xbox/ps

be aware doing so deletes map pins, game settings an such though

[vale flame]

I had someone remake their character, but that seemed to make it worse.

They even lost their impant

implant*

[distant hearth]

the thing with remaking charachter is some data is server side, some data is client side . so it cud be the data is messed up both sides, that wud be unlikely but i suppose possible with all the issues

id have them try delete client side data first , that has fixed it for most people

[vale flame]

I will let them know that. For console players, would wiping the server completely (sending it back to day one) help? Sorry if I am asking so many questions x-x I am new to all of this

[distant hearth]

in theory it shud, but they might also need to delete game and reinstall it too though. With so many people having issues i think id try server wipe first if you are inclined to go that way , have no mods an test .
If you know how to ftp connect to the server you can save any data you currently have , incase its just a client side issue ,but look into it an learn how do it first if you worried about losing game progression

its a case of working out, is it just console players with the issue, if so what caused it? or is it both pc an console, if both, does deleteing pc client side data fix it

[vale flame]

I will be sure to do more research. Thank you for taking the time to answer all my noob questions!

[distant hearth]

no problem , we all been there once trying learn all this stuff aint super easy

Question: several times on unofficial after a server crash - items go missing! It isnt roll back, it isnt filter setting, and I'm solo. I checked my dinos last night then 2 min later a crash and when it came back up all of my items in storage were gone. This happens in my vaults, Fabricator, smithy, fridge, my inventory and dinos inventory. Anyone experience this, have a fix, or know if it's a known glitch?

[tacit ether]

Are you self-hosting or using Nitrado?

[sleek sandal]

Nitrado

[wise kindle]

50 50 glitch? Did you check 50 50?

[vagrant ledge]

check so you are not in a different tab or what to say in inventories, had a player on my server that said he lost all items in inventories and after a while he said he was in some kinda different tab. Or if any of the filters is on so it only shows specific items

[hearty wedge]

How big are everyone's TheIsland_WP.ark files relative to how many people/tames are around? E.g. mine's about 95MB right now with a very light two people playing fairly casually.

I found a weird issue with my tiny server's save data (filed a bug for it) and I'm curious about how bad it can get; tamed dinos appear to have their saved status accumulate tens of thousands of empty entries as they're used that add up to a lot of wasted space -- for my 95MB file, something like 5MB of it is just coming from the bloat. If that has server runtime implications and it scales to the number of tames being used, well... that'd be bad.

[plucky parcel]

One of the unofficial server files I was given to work on parsing was 310mb.. contained 30k wilds, 3.2k tames, 91k player placed structure pieces and 122 active players. Haven't done any checks on location data with no matcing game object data to see if there are any orphaned entries though.

[modern finch]

mine is about 200mb we have 8 active players and i have spent about 600 hours on my map\

[rustic fern]

anyone know why some series S players are getting dashboarded upon joining our server? They have tried other servers with the same mods and are loading no problem and only have a problem with ours......any advice would be helpful

[reef charm]

Does anyone know the official link to the current SmallTribes dynamic config rates? Apparently we can't post links in here, but I was using the arkdedicated smalltribes ones, but they seem way off compared to actual officials. Might still be for ASE

[wanton snow]

Hey. I have a question. If I turn off the turkey trial event mod on private server, will I losem all the chibi, skina and colours for dinos, that showed up because od the event?

[solemn zephyr]

No just lose the murder turkeys and wishbones

[solemn zephyr]

Do you have a tool for this by chance? I'd be curious to analyze mine

[wanton snow]

Oh god, that's good, I was afraid to turn off this mod xD

[sullen heath]

you also lose the candys

[plucky parcel]

Yeah I'll dm you the link to my git repo.

[solemn zephyr]

Thank you

[plucky parcel]

Had to friend request you.. wouldn't let me send message as we don't share a server (this one?) or you have messages blocked.

It's on the STA forums though - Server Administration section - Ark Save Visualiser (ASV)

[solemn zephyr]

Accepted

[latent wing]

Idk If it only happens to me, but when I fix any glitch on Genesis 1 it literally says "Added: 0x Hexagons", even in host/local or any server, it also happened while there were official servers. Does anyone know about this?

[rustic fern]

I seen others asking about this but no real solution given or confirmed

Some people on our server are getting dashboarded upon joining the server (they are on the Series S) and others with the same system are not. The people getting dashboarded have tried other servers with the same mods and have no issues. Any suggestions on what is causing this so we can fix this?

[frank egret]

they removed the hexgon rewards long time ago

[peak sapphire]

It seems Xbox got the ‘show player servers’ button with latest update because I didn’t see it there before

[latent wing]

oh I didn't knew. thanks bro

[white pasture]

Is anyone else having an issue where if you add the winter wonderland to your mods list it causes your server to crash on startup?

[frank egret]

no worries had to look it up myself a while back when one of my players brought it to my attention

WW is out?

[peak sapphire]

Yep

[white pasture]

mod is

[frank egret]

did you remove turkey trial?

[white pasture]

causes my server to crash on startup though

[white pasture]

yes

[frank egret]

put the WW mod in first?

[white pasture]

no I removed turkey trial then added WW into the mod list. I am running a dedicated server on windows so I have to get the mod ID and everything.

[night matrix]

What is the Mod ID for it? I can't find it anywhere 😦

[native wave]

927090 on the curseforge page

[white pasture]

god I forgot about that lmao

[night matrix]

I saw it delete your message Glitch, that sucks

[night matrix]

Thank you! I appreciate the ID

[frank egret]

put WW as the first mod in the list, if that dont work you have another mod thats conflicting

[white pasture]

best place to look is curse forge

[night matrix]

I searched there and it won't pull it up

Now it's showing up

Timing... lol

It's a thing

[white pasture]

gonna try that rn

[wise crypt]

Hello, is it only me or something is wrong with the serwer list on ps5?

[white pasture]

still not working. I wonder what mod could be causing issues

[wise crypt]

I do not see any unoficial serwers

[white pasture]

make sure to check the show player servers thingy. That allows non Nitrado servers to show up

[wise crypt]

When i click that only 2 serwers appear

I have the Nitrado one by the way

[tepid berry]

I threw WW on my dedicated server, and server just crashes upon startup.

[wise crypt]

But it was right 2 hours ago when I was playing

[white pasture]

same here

[tepid berry]

Moved WW to front of mod list, back of mod list, nothing changes it.

[thorn cape]

think its because the server update has not dropped yet

should be coming in 10 mins or so according to people

[white pasture]

yeah idk what it is. I am looking at CrashContext, and nothing in there points to mod confliction or anything else
