Can someone help me with a setting problem on Xbox I guess?

[thorny nacelle]

I can’t see the names on tames I have named. Only the type of dino and its level. Everytime I change the name, it’s still the type of dino and its level.

@sturdy zenith

[nimble wagon]

How do I make discovered map stop resetting?

[hollow robin]

is anybody getting this bug where trees are spawining inside eachother and tames are doing the same thing and is anybody getting abnormaly high ping with there servers

[blazing sorrel]

so i cant find my mates unoffical server on my pc, but i can find it on my laptop using the same home internet?

ive triple checked settings "show password protected servers"
ive even reinstalled ark and no luck

any ideas? the server is "3inthestink"

ive tried eveything i can think of or google 😭

[inner cloud]

@Bazr If you cannot see it on your pc and you're trying to connect from outside of the home network then that will be a port forwarding issue most likely as you say you can find it on the laptop when connected to the home network. If you mean both the pc and the laptop are on the same network and you only cannot see it on the pc then IDK...

[stable kayak]

I'm trying to setup a server hosted off of my pc, it WORKS. But whenever my friend tries to join it says "host connection timed out". I think it's port forwarding, i disabled my firewalls and did 7777 and 27015 for tdp and udp but it still doesnt work

[molten crown]

Can you run a steam dedicated server and play the game on two seperate devices and the same account?

[limber vapor]

does anyone have good breeding and imprinting settings they can share for nitrado servers? i am struggling big time on getting it down. Everything i try puts me at over 1day to breed again

[stable kayak]

you can run the server off of the same account you play with but you cant play the game on 2 pcs at once

[molten crown]

so I can't run the server on one and then play on it on the other?

[stable kayak]

If you mean run the server on one pc and play on another from the same account then yes, you can.

[molten crown]

k thx for letting me know

[stable kayak]

You just can't have the game itself open on two pcs from the same acc

[molten crown]

k, but you can have the dedicated server and game open at once?

[stable kayak]

correct

[molten crown]

k thx

[stable kayak]

Anyone have an answer for me, been trying to get this going for like 12 hours.

[north nova]

does anyone know if there are any settings i can change in the ini to keep inventory on death?

[wise kindle]

Nope need a mod for that.

[north nova]

do you happen to know the mod? my friend is on the verge of quitting because of that so was trying to work it out for him lol

[wise kindle]

There are several actually. Just search “death” and a bunch pop up each with* different options.

[north nova]

alright thanks

[edgy latch]

how does my friend join my undedicated server?

[molten crown]

how do you enable admin in your server, I can't get admin mode

[loud lotus]

@north nova death inventory keeper mod

Your can configure what your rent it to keep on death

[oblique oracle]

Hey I’m on Xbox and I played with my friends on my old Xbox one with the same account and it worked fine but now I got a series s and everytime I try to join their non dedicated server, it just says “message” “join failed” I also tried hosting and it said the same thing when they tried to join me. Anyone know why this happens/how to fix it

[peak sapphire]

Anyone else’s caves overspawning?

[north nova]

ok last question because im trying to fix a bunch of things now what setting is it that allows me to damage dinos i unclaim? atm i cant kill any dinos i dont want it just wont let me damage them and with me starting mutation breed im getting way to many dinos i cant get rid of

It also just wont let me damage my own dinos at all

[sleek sandal]

We've had 2 servers, hosted through Nitrado, turn into absolute unplayable rubber banding and a 50/50 glitch. Anyone else?

[heavy thorn]

anyone else have this bug or know how to fix it i put on mods and change the server settings but everytime i restartd my game is just changes back to how the setting were before and takes the mods off and this is on a undedicated server

[peak sapphire]

Unless there’s a mod, you can’t damage unclaimed dinos on PvE. The latter is a render bug, go out of render first then you can continue to slaughter your babies.

[bleak ivy]

make sure friendly fire is on as well. only your survivor can damage your own dinos.

[north nova]

I think that might be it, because I know my friend turned it off in his settings because we used his pc to host but then it decided to stop letting people join so we copied and pasted the ini files to a actual server and he has now quit playing but I got access to server so trying to fix everything lol

[tall plinth]

Has anyone come across problems opening a .bat file when trying to host their own server?

[bleak ivy]

put it in the same folder as the server exe or make sure the path to it is correct from its current folder.

[rustic zephyr]

what difficulty should i set the server as if i want the levels to be equal to official?

as in levels 5, 10, 15 etc up to 150

[fair widget]

Hey. So I an not sure if it's a game bug, or a server bug, but I have been looking for solutions. And I have asked it here before, but I have done more testing on this on SP.

I am playing ASA on Xbox on the unofficial Crossplay server. The server uses some mods. Mostly cosmetic.

While most people playing on PCs have no problem, the Xbox users can't place structures from Dwarven builders mod and from Dino +. I can craft the structures, and as I am placing them down - the just go back into my Inventory

First I thought that it might be some mod collision causing it on Xbox. But then I replicated the same thing on Single player, and I can place everything.

What could be the cause of this? Could it be some API problems? Some server issues? Or just Ark being Ark?

[distant hearth]

[final stratus]

When I join a friend's server, it crashes. The message "Connection interrupted" appears. But my friends can join and play normally. I only have this problem on the server. We don't know what to do. (Nitrado Server, Steam)

[distant hearth]

the server crashes or your game crashes?

[final stratus]

server

if i join everyone gets the massage "Connection interrupted" and the server is restarting

but if i dont join everyone can play

[distant hearth]

sound like you player data or the tribe you are in data is corrupted causing the issue,

in the server files you can try loading the anticorruption back ups for your character and tribe
i think nitrado actually has its own guide on how to do this iirc

[final stratus]

sounds good, i will tell him - thanks

[harsh crane]

Someone know how to use beacon.app with beaconloot for ASA for Mods ? Having a little problem that i cant add the additions dino mods paths

Open for Privatmessages

[severe bison]

Hey i have a problem so i can't get my server to update? its always reinstalling the server and i just don't know why ... that is my bat file to update the server. C:\Users\ijass\OneDrive\Desktop\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\Users\ijass\OneDrive\Desktop\steamcmd\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[open trellis]

does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of mods you can put on a crossplatform server? I thought there was one due to the memory caps on consoles?

[fervent tree]

Try removing the validate and I would remove the server files out of the OneDrive Folder, that's screaming for issues. Place them in a dedicated directory, not just your Desktop

[severe bison]

start steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ..\steamcmd\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

i have tried that and now its not reinstalling the server

[severe bison]

i have dm you

[jade pecan]

someone help me? My Svartal server doesn't want to start. It was disconnected the other day and since then it has not been activated

[wise kindle]

Console mod size is limited to 10 gigs total including map nods. Need to be careful what you add to your maps cuz it fills up fast. Individual mods cant be over 5 gigs each.

[open trellis]

cheers thanks.

[supple fern]

Hello anyone have idea why i cant build in mountain ruin (33 82)?
🥺

[nova moat]

may have a setting where you cant build near high resource areas

[distant hearth]

probably related to this setting in gameusersetting.ini

EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=True

change it to false if want to build near heavy resources

[scarlet ermine]

Are they ever going to fix trhe 50/50 bug? like seriously as a server owner is a fricken pain to deal with replacing BP's.....

[nova moat]

50/50 bug?

[scarlet ermine]

shit from all over the map teleports to 50/50 on the game map. Tribes structures

including vaults

[nova moat]

lol thats baller

cant just pick it up with a rhynio?

[scarlet ermine]

naw its all glitched together

[distant hearth]

UseItemDupeCheck=True

in the gameusersetting.ini
helps a little, but still get some 50/50 glitch shit

[austere mauve]

My server won't boot. I'm running another game and ark together i think theyre both using port 27015, anyone know a way around this?

[distant hearth]

@austere mauve the port shudnt affect the server booting an that port is just steam query port , so it wont matter for server boot up

[native stag]

hello guyz, does someone know the command line to put in the ini file to open map transfert and inventory/char download ?

[distant hearth]

it will depend if it asa or ase, if it clustered or not but relates to these lines in game user setting .ini

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

[grizzled meteor]

if you open map transfers others will be able to join as admin, at least if they didnt fix it yet.. this is for ASA

[native stag]

our server is passworded only running for friends, also i want try this to see if it fix the tek cave issue

[ionic idol]

Question: me and my friend have created 3 dedicated servers so far. Everything works well except that whenever there is an update we lose access to the server and get a “Host connection timeout” and have to start a new server to be able to play together. Everything I’ve seen on how to fix this issue just says to have the update lines in the bat file, but we already have those lines there, anyone know how to help? Also gonna send a pic of the bay file.

Nvm guess I can’t send a picture

[distant hearth]

are the servers updating properly ?

[weak elm]

what comp0any are you using for your dedi ?

[distant hearth]

u can just copy the text from the update batch file an paste it

[ionic idol]

It’s on my comp

[ionic idol]

You mean from the steam version?

[weak elm]

you should have a auto update button

usely dedi auto update itslef

[distant hearth]

oh you doing through steam app rather than through stm cmd?

[weak elm]

with ark update

[ionic idol]

Where?

[ionic idol]

The dedi is on my comp but we play on Xbox so I can’t copy paste anything

I was thinking maybe it’s worth it to buy again and download on steam just to have access to the bay files cause that’s the only thing I haven’t tried yet to fix this.

[distant hearth]

the computer your running it on, is it done via stm cmd, or via in steam itself

[ionic idol]

Sorry, steam cmc

[distant hearth]

so just copy the update.bat txt an paste

right click it for edit , then u copy txt, its just a txt file inside

[ionic idol]

Like right click on ark in steam?

[distant hearth]

no, the file your using to update the server ??????

[ionic idol]

Ok clearly I’m missing something basic lol

[distant hearth]

so with stm cmd, you have a bat file to start it right,
you also need one to update it

[ionic idol]

Hahahahahahaa I’m gonna kms

Lmfao

[distant hearth]

easy done, it wont auto update , you got tell it too

[ionic idol]

Thank you so much

I guess I’ve been misunderstanding all the articles I’ve been reading

[distant hearth]

yea it bloody confusing, the info is either plain wrong, or just confusing

[ionic idol]

Not sure how to start an update.bat file, would you have a link to somewhere that explains that?

[distant hearth]

there is two ways to run from pc, through steam app or through stmcmd

through stm cmd doesnt require owning the game

[ionic idol]

Yea I’ve got it through cmd

That’s so frustrating everything I saw just said to have “-updating server” and the +force_install_dir text to keep the server updating on its own

[distant hearth]

ermm no that wud only work in some sort script id think

[ionic idol]

Ok I’ll go scour the internet now thank you so much

[distant hearth]

i can tell you it shud look something like this , type it into notepad then just rename to say update1.bat , for the first server, repeat for the others dont really mater what u name

D:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir D:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

you will need to change the file paths to suit your install locations for each server , so
first part - D:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe
is where the stm cmd is installed on your pc
then D:\SteamCMD\steamapps\common\ark1\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\

is where the actual server you want to update is located ,
you can cut out validate if u want , but i think its better to verify after an update personally

[rustic zephyr]

how does someone join a private server by ip through epic games?

[ionic idol]

Ok I’m gonna try this now, not sure if I understand everything perfectly but thank you for all your help

[distant hearth]

Go to Host \ Local in the menu.
Click on Play Single Player to go into a single-player game.
In the single player game, hit Tab to go into the console.
Type open <server IP>:7777
If all goes well you should be able to join the game! 7777 wil be the defsult game port, if you changed it setting up the server then they need to change it to whatever u set the server up as
server ip obv the server ip you joining too

[rustic zephyr]

bruh

[ionic idol]

Should that all just be one long line?

[distant hearth]

yes copy as i posted, with the spaces as i posted, then just change the file paths to where your stm cmd an server is located

[ionic idol]

And this should just sit as a .bay file in the same folder that has there start.bat, steamcmd folder, and the other server folder? Or does the update.bay need to be in a specific folder with something else? Sorry if thats a dumb question, all this is really new to me

[distant hearth]

its fine, it can go where ever you like ,becuase you telling it all the file paths. mine are on my desktop so easy to get at .
all that batch file is doing is saying, open steam cmd, then at the file path you set , login anonymously, check ark server.exe for the latest version, update it if not latest version , verify the files, then quit stm cmd

[austere mauve]

are servers broken right now?

[ionic idol]

Oh oh I think I’m starting to understand, I would have to manually click the update.bat and it will run through all those instructions? If that’s the case then it looks like there’s another problem cause that file path doesn’t exist.

SteamCMD\steamapps\common\… doesn’t exist. Following that I go SteamCMD\steamapps\ and then all that is in steamapps is libraryfolders.vdf

To get to Win64 I have to go Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64

Again apologies if that means nothing or doesn’t make sense

[ionic idol]

^

[distant hearth]

as i said you need to put in the file paths you used when u installed stm cmd an the server

an yes you would need to click each time to manually update the server ,
i believe there is a way to set windows to do it automatically say once a day, but i havent got that far yet so u wud need google that part

[ionic idol]

Oh I didn't understand that ok

[austere mauve]

i got it up

[distant hearth]

im not very good at explaining, sry about that

[ionic idol]

Are you joking lmao, you've already helped me more in an hour than anyone else has managed to help in like a cumulative 15 hours

[distant hearth]

i try but i , dont always explain the little details very well , i just sort of presume people know file paths , but most dont i guess. plus it is always different for each install

[ionic idol]

In my start bat it the file path is start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe

oops didnt mean to send that yet hold on

[ionic idol]

In my start bat it the file path is: start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe should I paste \ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ into the update bat or should I paste \ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe?

[distant hearth]

server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ but that isnt the full file path , as it will be stored at say
D:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\server\shootergame\binaries\win64\

u will need the full file path , of where ever you told the server to be put when u first installed it

[ionic idol]

I think that is the full file path, arkascendedserver.exe is sitting right there in win64

[distant hearth]

and just to make it confusing, that doesnt actually work for me, yet everywhere says it shud, so i have to just point it at the server install folder , so D:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\server
in my case , as that where i installed it

[distant hearth]

it cant be as not even specifing the drive its stored

[ionic idol]

uhh

[distant hearth]

do this, find where your start.bat is , right click the win64 part next to the search box at top, then left click copy adress, paste that adress in notepad, it shud be your exact path

im gonna presume that the start bat is in the server location with luck

[ionic idol]

My Win64 isn't at the search box, but if that's all I need then I can just find it and copy the address and be good right, Win64 should be the last file in the path? Also when I copy the path it starts with C: not D:, is that a problem?

[distant hearth]

oh erm are theese ascended servers or evolved servers? i think i forgot to ask that

[ionic idol]

ascended

[distant hearth]

no no problem, i just have mine installed to an extra drive hence mine is D:
yours needs to be your path so if on main windows drive it will be c:

just how windows adds drives, it uses c as main , then extras are d,e,f,g , i have lots differnt drives lol

[ionic idol]

Ok so im gonna just copy paste the address for steamcmd.exe and for Win64 and see if it works I guess

[distant hearth]

chances are yours will be installed somewhere like c:\users\Program Files (86)\stmcmd
etc

[ionic idol]

yea i have some extra stuff like users and onedrive at the beginning

[distant hearth]

shud be fine as long as it pointed at the right place, i always thought onedrive was cloud stoarge for windows though, i might be wrong, not familair with it

[ionic idol]

Boutta find out

[distant hearth]

if the server is up to date it shud just verify its files

[ionic idol]

Ah I forget how to change the text file to a bat file, do you know how off the top of your head?

[distant hearth]

version 33.53 is the latest

[ionic idol]

jk disregard that

[distant hearth]

rename it , to .bat instead of .txt

if u dont have file extensions on, you have to allow that lol

[ionic idol]

How do I check the version

Also it looks like its updating right now

[distant hearth]

when u boot the server , it will show in the server window

6th line down

[ionic idol]

Fuck it didn't work, game version is 32.17 and I got the same host lost connection error

I really thought that would work

[distant hearth]

file paths must be wrong then ,i suspect it just installed a new server into the win 64 path lol
paste the line your using now for me plz?

[ionic idol]

The line to steamcmd or the line to win64?

[distant hearth]

the line u using for the update bat

[ionic idol]

C:\Users\85rap\OneDrive\Desktop\Games\Ark\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\Users\85rap\OneDrive\Desktop\Games\Ark\Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[distant hearth]

C:\Users\85rap\OneDrive\Desktop\Games\Ark\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\Users\85rap\OneDrive\Desktop\Games\Ark\Server +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

try that , it was how i had to do mine to make it work

everyone says point it at win64 , but i cud not get that to work for me

[ionic idol]

Ok trying right now

Holy fuck the game version 33.53 im gonna try to log on rn

[distant hearth]

failing that you might have to move the install locations an do some renaming for each server , i know someone else earlier had issues updating in the onedrive location

[ionic idol]

IT FUCKING WORKEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I could kiss you right now I would do naught naughty things

Thank you so fucking much

[distant hearth]

you will need to make an update file for each of the servers, pointing it at the location of each

[ionic idol]

We deleted the other servers lol

[distant hearth]

ok 🙂

well have fun 🙂 sry it took so long to explain , but glad got ther ein end 🙂

[supple fern]

thx it worked

and is there config which would allow me to build inside of that ruin walls?

[opal lantern]

Can somebody help? Why cant i join my bf his non dedicated hosted session. It keeps saying timed out.

I reaally dont know its frustrating me lmao, cant find an answer anywhere what to do.

(Evolved btw i forgot to mention.)

[distant hearth]

try this line in game.ini
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true

[supple fern]

that dont work

[distant hearth]

then i have no clue, maybe wc made it un buildable like near the tek cave ,

you can try turn on cave building if its a pve server , but even that wont help if its just a spot they so no you cant

[supple fern]

its not near cave which is strange because i can build inside of that ruin but soon as i want to place wall which would be little bit in that wall then it wont snap on foundation

but for some reason i can place large wall into that

[distant hearth]

sounds like ark being ark and frustating as hell

sometimes on ase, i cud get around that sort thing using a thatch ceiling, then snap the wall from that down, but it can change the snap point a bit

i havent done much asa building yet tbh

[supple fern]

that ruin isnt even symetrical 😢

[distant hearth]

they never are, always annoyed me in ase

[cloud ivy]

same thing is happening to me

[hoary junco]

does anyone know how to remove the crafting recipes for the cryopod and cryofridge on a nitrado server (ASA)?

[distant hearth]

in game.ini

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_CryoFridge_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

[hoary junco]

thank you ive been looking for a way for a good amount of time lol

[distant hearth]

i just pulled off google, looks like it shud work, if it doesnt lemme know an i will do it through ark beacon app/program

[regal star]

Where can I figure out how to overlap foundation calling and walls?

[distant hearth]

try this line in game.ini
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true

but ark can still be finicky an not always let you overlap

[regal star]

Not unless you add a mod that does so. Its the unfortunate price you pay for high breeding. May want to lower it to allow for imprint times.

you will need to allow the ports through the computer firewall and any aftermarket anti virus you may be running too ,
also can try a site like ipvoid to test the ports opened

[mighty bison]

When I adjust platform saddle numbers do I have to rebuild the saddle/raft to see the change?

[quasi minnow]

I am having issues loading into my unofficial server. I have never encountered this and have had it for over a month. I can see it in the list but when I try to load in I get kicked to the homescreen again. It has happened numerous times and i have restarted my xbox to see if it needed an update but nothing. The server is on and my friend is in it playing so it is not the server. Has anyone else experienced this?

[quasi minnow]

Mine is up and running now!

[grim berry]

Has there been linux dedicated server executable added yet?

[severe bison]

Hey guys so i wanted to get my SP save on my Dedicated server and it went alright i have everything but not all of my mod structures and items so some mods are loading and the items and structures are there but not all so i'm wondering what can i do to let them be there? What should i try? DM pls

[cosmic island]

If I started up an unofficial server, who is the best server host? I heard alot of bad stuff about nitrado. And also other than mods, what is the best app to help edit alot of the settings on server like people used on ASE?

[tardy pine]

Nitrado sucks as a host. Nitrato also has exclusive ASA commercial server hosting rights for the next couple years... So Nitrado is your only option.

[final stratus]

nitrado is trash - change my mind

[humble thicket]

Do you guys think we will be allowed to have a cluster through self host outside of Nitrado ?

Bruh.

[coral fox]

pleas\

can someone that is nice

[distant hearth]

id expect so, if they dont everyone will just go use a mod anyway so no point them not giving out the info how

[humble thicket]

use a mod to host a cluster? Uh ?

[distant hearth]

there already some mods that can do it last i heard

[humble thicket]

[uneven willow]

Yes it's already an option

[final stratus]

good to know, thanks chads

[pulsar spire]

any way to remove the cryo cooldown on private pvp servers? (with or without mods)

[rocky current]

My single player world suddenly is not allowing me to have more then about 40 slots worth of items? I'm not at weight capacity but I cant pick up anything else, anyone know what might cause this? I didnt get any new mods before it started happening

[wise kindle]

Kill your character and see if that fixes it.

[wicked vigil]

Just wanting to see if it’s just my Unofficial server, or if it’s everyone’s. I run an ASA server (soon to be cluster) through Nitrado. Population usually around 20-30 people. (2x/3x rates, creature mods, and building mods)

Server crashes usually 2-4 times a day (lost connection/Timeout to host) and the server rolls back to the last save (1-14 minute roll back).

Is there a setting or something I can do to stop the crashes? Or is it just Nitrado and the game?

[olive talon]

Sounds like your server hardware. Contact Nitrado.

[grizzled meteor]

🧱** Anti-Mesh False Positives - When will it end?** 🧱 or can we get at least a working option to turn off ANTIMESH for unofficial servers? at STUDIO WILDCARD

[wicked vigil]

Just sent them an email. Hopefully they can do something. Everyone hates the crashes and roll backs.

[tardy pine]

Can we find the name of an engram from the mod's manifest? I have a mod that I am trying to block a few engrem on, the manifest says
ShooterGame/Mods/KAS/Content/DS/MDS/PrimalItemStructure_MDedStor.uassetWould PrimalItemStructure_MDedStor be the engram name to use in the game.ini like this?```ini
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="PrimalItemStructure_MDedStor",EngramLevelRequirement=999,RemoveEngramPreReq=False,EngramHidden=True)

[astral ledge]

I usually have a guy who grabs EngramClass for me, but I don't think that looks like a proper EngramClassName.

Can anyone link me to the info on Winter Wonderland? Has the core data been added to the game, or would I still need to add to passivemods?

[tardy pine]

Still passivemode.

[tardy pine]

Do you know if the engram names have to end with the "_C"?

[astral ledge]

They don't. Pretty sure it up to the mod creator. That could be the engramclass, just saying it doesn't look like it from my experience. And I'm still waiting for a pc upgrade to go thru mod files myself.

Trying reaching out to the mod creator to see if they can supply you with the class names. Visual Storage and Klinger mod creators were happy to supply them when I had asked.

[tardy pine]

It's a Klinger mod, there are some very recent messages in the discord there where the mods there are telling people to get lost and threatening bans for trying to find the class names. So trying an alternate approach

[jolly vigil]

i have allowed the ports they arent showing up still

[tardy pine]

ASA or ASE, what protocol did you allow/forward?

[jolly vigil]

ASA sorry im a bit on what you mean protocol

the ports are open in ipvoid

[tardy pine]

For the ports that you forward or open, there are 2 different protocols. TCP and UDP

[jolly vigil]

but they say filtered

i opened 7777 udp 7778 udp and 27105 tcp

on my router and my firewall

[tardy pine]

for ASA all you need is 7777 UDP, unless you told it to use a different port in the configs

[jolly vigil]

ok well the 7777 udp is showing up on my netstat but i dont need the queryport?

[tardy pine]

not for ASA, the query port is for the steam server browser in ASE

[jolly vigil]

ok so i can get rid of 7778 and 27015 from my firewall and my router?

[tardy pine]

yep

[jolly vigil]

so i dont need anything with tcp

[tardy pine]

And if you forwarded 7777 UDP to your server machine, and allowed it in the firewall you should be able to connect.

[tardy pine]

Yep, no TCP

[jolly vigil]

ok thanks also just checking cause just in case xbox can join steam dedicated server right?

[tardy pine]

Is your server PC and the PC you are playing from the same machine?

Yes XBox can join a steam server

Nothing special you need to do to enable it

[jolly vigil]

nah im wanting to play on my xbox and host off my pc

[tardy pine]

should work fine

[jolly vigil]

also i heard something about dmz?

[tardy pine]

do you have multilevel subnets? dmz = demilitarized zone, usually used in server farms or corporate domains

[jolly vigil]

im gonna say no

could it be my malwayrebytes stopping my friend from joining

[tardy pine]

can anyone else join? just not your friend?

[jolly vigil]

i haven't tried but i will soon i dont have many people with ark ascended sadly so i gotta wait

[tardy pine]

I can try if the server is up. Whats the name?

[jolly vigil]

sorry i had to do something

Yo I would like to set up my own server on xbox but I don't own a pc or lap top to do the coding is there people that do it or a company that does . If so.eone could point point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.

[grizzled meteor]

xbox wont be able to host a dedicated server properly, you need something with more power, you can also rent them online, but i would suggest in just joining a long term crossplay server as there are more servers then even players

[dawn mica]

anyone else having issues with high ping?

[rocky current]

for some reason explorer notes arent playing audio, is there a common thing that causes this?

[raven blade]

Wheres the unofficial serv named 2.0 it shut down yesterday and hasn't been opened again

[distant hearth]

theres asetting for it somewhere in the game options, possible u have it off

[grizzled meteor]

join the Gentleman PvP servers, they r always up 😛

[raven blade]

I'm not good at pvp

But seriously when do u think 2.0 server coming back up

[wise kindle]

Hate to break it to ya but there’s 10k servers out there. I doubt anyone in here is tracking the status of that particular server.

[native wave]

Anyone else seen evidence of a memory leak with their a server? It's a slow one but since the 20th mine went from 11GB at start to 76GB. Not letting go of memory properly /me thinks

[mint wasp]

I've seen mine go up to 26gb before it crashed due to no more mem. Since then I've upgraded to 192Gb so might be a while before it crashes again 🥹

But in all seriousness, I've for sure seen this myself

Have you experienced any abnormal lag spikes? I've had reports from players hitting 290 and also replicated it on other servers, I really believe it to be the island map so just trying to make sense of this lol

[tardy pine]

I have seen it. I push a nightly reboot on all my servers because of it.

[native wave]

Yeah I'll get an occasional lag spike...which is definitely the server as mine is on my local network. Just me playing on it right now though.

I have 384GB in mine so it'll be a good time longer before mine crashes out.

I had disabled my daily reboot after the issue with the irrigation popped up.

[tardy pine]

Seems like they fixed irrigation in the last patch or 2

[native wave]

Yep...which is why I turned my daily reboot back on last night

[tardy pine]

I'd say you have a decent sized memory buffer though

[native wave]

Useful for a leaky server now....cluster later. Can thank my ASE cluster for getting me that high...especially gen2

[slate bridge]

anyone having higher ping since last updayte ? im on ASA on a private dedi server with great spec. only using 35% ram and 18% cup. i got 5 maps running

[mint wasp]

Yep, seen a huge spike since about the last 3 updates really. Currently testing on the Svartalfheim map to see if this continues as I truly believe this is an issue with The Island map

[slate bridge]

ive got it on svart too XD

[mint wasp]

damn, well I think it's something on the WC side as things were actually smooth before their last couple patches

[humble thicket]

I've been seeing higher ping over the last few updates. First it was a smaller spike, going from 70-80 up to 90ish. A patch was released which brought the ping back down to its normal range. Over the last 2 patches, its been easily doubled that. Currently for the server it shows 171 before I click join, however once in-game it shows 260+

[devout turret]

anyone having issues joining servers on xbox ?

friend is trying to join getting "Joining Failed - Unknown Error"

[idle rapids]

hello , one person for help me with my server , please?

[tardy pine]

whats the problem?

[peak sapphire]

I’ve been posting about this for past few days as I thought it was to do with possible overspawns. Sucks that others are experiencing this problem but at least it’s not an isolated issue.

[humble thicket]

Honestly thats what we've tried to narrow down to, we're suspecting its to do with the caves tbh

[mint wasp]

Yep, after doing a dino wipe, my ping went from 80-90 > 20-30 but then not even 10 min later the ping was back to 80-90

It's def an overspawn issue but haven't been able to narrow it down. We think that if we can find the culprit, and then place a pillar (or any small structure down) it may help with the over spawn issue.

[idle rapids]

Then i open my server ,IS not appears on game and not join.

[neon socket]

Is there a case of corrupted data on your unofficial servers too? The 50/50 bug of duplicating dinos and structures is happening a lot. Furthermore, when we go into support with nitrado, the server comes back online, but apparently it corrupts days later and goes offline again.

[slate coyote]

why can't I add my friends ark server using an ip through steam when my friends can and the server is active?

[tardy pine]

• You dont see your server in the server browser?

• Did it ever work? Or is it a new server?

• If you are hosting it on your own computer, are you checking the "Show Player Servers" check box in the server browser?

[idle rapids]

It no longer works since the last update, before it worked perfectly, it is a dedicated server on a Windows PC.

[slate coyote]

no, it work for other friends, online hosting serice, yes

[minor skiff]

that's crazy, you renamed yourself to DMX? 😄

[tardy pine]

Is the game and server up to date? If others can join it sounds like a version problem. Servers hosted on windows PC require you to check the "Show Player Servers" check box in the server browser to show up

[tardy pine]

If on an online hosting service you want to remove that checkbox

[minor skiff]

restart steam on your dedicated server's host machine and check if ASA's server tool has an update.

[slate coyote]

I want to thank you so much, I had a unsolveble problem, and your pressence fixed it for know apparent reason. Thank you kind lad

he is update , and i have restart , and this on start ''Expensive Rebuild of LevelActors TMap for level PersistentLevel...

[severe bison]

Does anyone know how to a auto back up a Dedi server? i would like that my server gets a backup every 1 hour automatically without me needing to do that. Dm me pls

[tardy pine]

Batch files/windows scheduled tasks. I have a windows task scheduled to run this file every 2 hours, you can set the schedule to whatever you like when scheduling the task.

my backup batch file

set hour=%TIME:~0,2%
set hour=%hour: =%

del D:\Steam_Servers\ArkSA\Backups\%date:~0,3%\%hour%\* /Q /S

xcopy D:\Steam_Servers\ArkSA\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks\TheIsland_WP\* D:\Steam_Servers\ArkSA\Backups\%date:~0,3%\%hour%\* /Y /Q /S

Modify the paths to whatever works for your server. This overwrites backup files after 7 days.

[severe bison]

I do not understand how to do it on my own xD

So I open a .bat file and I copy these commands in?

[distant hearth]

ark servers auto backup every hour anyway unless told otherwise irrc

[severe bison]

I want a back up beside the Ark ones

So if a lot of Corrupted files happens like it happened to me I’m save yk?

[severe bison]

But where would I see those?

[distant hearth]

depends where you told it to save but they default to ,
shootergame/saved/savedarks/TheIsland_wp

unless your running a dual drive setup , i see no point in backing up to the same drive personally

[severe bison]

These saves you mean

[tardy pine]

yep. then google how to schedule a task in windows. and tell the task to run the batch file however often you want it run. Ark does auto back up save files as @distant hearth said. And it makes the backup files massive when you do it manually.

My backups folder is 241 gigs, yours would be close to twice that

[severe bison]

I know these but what I was trying to say is that I take my TheIsland_WP folder and copy it in another folder like every hour for my server incase something happens. I learned I need it bc after the last update my SP world got corrupted and with a backup I would have got it back easily

[severe bison]

Oh damn

So it’s not a good idea?

[severe bison]

But I fixed it and only lost 4 ingame days

[severe bison]

I don‘t even have the storage for that 💀😂

[tardy pine]

well, depends. maybe not every hour. and if your single player you would want to see if the game is running so it's not backing things up for no reason, complicates the batch file a bit. There are things you can do to shrink the backup size also I suppose, like target specific files (this would only be logical for single player/non-dedicated servers).

[mighty bison]

Guys. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. But for the life of me I can’t get the ceilings to extend any further on my rafts.

[severe bison]

No I don‘t really want to do that for my SP world only for my dedicated server.

[mighty bison]

I’ve been trying everything I can think of for like 3 days now

[severe bison]

So yea I think I just use the Ark backup files

[distant hearth]

you need to learn to understand the files ,
.arkprofile are the player saves
.profilebak are the player anti corruption backup

same for .arktribe an .tribebak

then world saves are
TheIsland_WP.ark curent save
TheIsland_WP_24.1..2024_12.05.49.ark backup save with the date an time of backup

[mighty bison]

I adjusted the settings in user settings ini and everything

[distant hearth]

TheIsland_WP_AntiCorruptionbackup.bak is the anti corrupt backup

[frail ferry]

am i doing something wrong, auto destroy on tames and stucture is not getting rid of them

[distant hearth]

in ase it was these two setting affected rafts and platform saddles, in the game user setting .ini
1 is default
PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=5.0
PlatformSaddleBuildAreaBoundsMultiplier=5.000000

but your probably still gonna have an issue with out mods as ceilings need support after 3 tiles i think it is

[mighty bison]

I got the ceiling mod. I put every number I can think of and it still won’t work.

[distant hearth]

prob need to check in the mods own discord then, i dint know there was one yet for asa tbh

we used to do in ase via splus an having no foundation support enabled

[mighty bison]

Well the mod works. They recognize ceilings as foundations but I can’t get them to go out further. Is there a limit to the number? Is 5.000 the max?

[distant hearth]

shud be able go further id think , but 5 is 5x the standard limit so its like what 15 tiles further

possibly it wont go over 9.9 but never tested it further , so i dont know

[tepid berry]

Hey Wildcard! When are you gonna release those server updates to steam 'eh?!

2 patches now that unofficial servers aren't getting because Wildcard isn't pushing them out to us server owners.

[cosmic island]

What app do people use 2 edit settings on unofficial servers?

Not mods, but there an app I heard about where u can mod everything, u can even choose how long each Dino takes to raise and how long they take to get to juvenile, so it practically makes raising rates obsolete 4 the server

[distant hearth]

ark beacon omni , has a paid an free version, free version does alot stuff

[cosmic island]

Is that an app or site or both? @distant hearth

[distant hearth]

i think it just a app/program , not certain tbh, i have as a program on my pc

[severe bison]

That makes a lot of sense now thanks! And if i want to load a back up file I change the name from .bak to .ark right?

[cosmic island]

How much does a server cost per month on ASA from nitrado rn?

[distant hearth]

ive had for years, ace for baby settings

[distant hearth]

that wud be for the anticoruption backup if u need it , usually wud just rename the nearest dated backup

[cosmic island]

Isn't it like $25 a month for 20 slots?

[distant hearth]

no idea tbh, i think is like more as £20 in uk

u can go on there website an look

[severe bison]

20€ in Germany for 20 slots

[distant hearth]

if you have good enough pc an internet theres a couple ways to host your own aswell if u wanted to go that route

[cosmic island]

I wanna start up a simple pve server with 20 slots n some mods and customized raising, idrk how running a server works tho

Do I have 2 like do server restarts everyday and also update abunch of mods and deal with bugs?

I fs couldn't manage a server like mts

[distant hearth]

best thing is do a bit research on google an youtube, setup for ase servers is virtually same
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
that website has all setings but it looks a bit confusing at first

[cosmic island]

Or is it as simple as starting a solo world? I jus pay the server add mods then jus allow server 2 run itself?

[distant hearth]

its that simple until something goes wrong

[tardy pine]

Bugs yes. Restarts are optional but I do 1 a day and it works out well. mods auto update but if you get 2 that arent compatible then it creates hell

[cosmic island]

Wut could go wrong?

[distant hearth]

updates causing bootloops, corrupted data, mods updating an having a hissy fit, the list is endless

[mighty bison]

I just tried again. Put in the numbers you typed. Exactly and it still won’t extend further. Do I have to build a new raft?

[distant hearth]

oh yea probably actually, alot stuff in ark uses the config it its set to when made

i think rafts count as a tame so wud make sense it needs to be made new

[mighty bison]

Ok let me try that

[cosmic island]

Wut do server restarts even do? Jus Dino wipe?? I could jus use a command 2 Dino wipe tbh

[tardy pine]

Keeps memory usage down so the server doesnt crash or lag

restarts dont wipe dinos

[distant hearth]

i forgot to add the hassle of dealing with players, if they get meshed or something dont work right ewtc, got deal with that

[cosmic island]

Can I not make the server auto restart daily?

[distant hearth]

yes

[cosmic island]

How? I swear if I hv 2 pay 4 it

[distant hearth]

nitrado ones restart daily auto unless told otherwise

[cosmic island]

Oh nice

So running my own server with nitrado would be as simple as a solo world unless a bug happens

[distant hearth]

not quite , but similar , they have a ui that has alot the settings singleplayer does

better to learn to do it in the ini though imo, just a prefernce as not all settings are in the ui

[cosmic island]

Ngl idk wut ui or ini is although I've heard of both

[distant hearth]

but im a 40 year old dinosaur stabbing at a keyboard with two fingers an learnt how do it so im sure anyone can

[distant hearth]

ui is user interface

ini is just the txt file used by the server for the settings

[sterile breach]

Any friendlies in here who wouldn’t mind shooting me a DM, I’m really just looking to get info on running an unofficial server. I see a need and want to fill it. Lmk!
0 (zero) knowledge on the process.

Thanks!🙏

[distant hearth]

read up, we have just been discussing this exact thing 🙂

[sterile breach]

Thank you!

[cosmic island]

Lol

[granite jungle]

Beacon is your friend!

[mighty bison]

Didn’t work.

[distant hearth]

dam it, how are you altering the ini , they need to go under the correct header, with the server stopped

[wise kindle]

Stop the server, make changes and save, restart the server. And if its under the wrong header it wont work.

[distant hearth]

i add waiting times for nitrado servers, but thats more a precuation from working with nitrado servers an there laggy ui

[mighty bison]

Well. I can’t post screenshots

[distant hearth]

you can just copy paste the lines and the header they are under

[mighty bison]

Duh….sorry I’m kinda slow lol

PlatformSaddleBuildAreaBoundsMultiplier=5.0

PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=5.000000

[distant hearth]

under which header?
needs to be in gameuser.ini and under the header
[serversettings]

also , need to make sure theres no duplicate , i.e if there is a setting in there the same adding wont help, u wud need to alter the ones there,
only add lines if there not there in first place

[mighty bison]

Yeah that’s the right header

[distant hearth]

im at a loss then sry , its possible they dont work in asa , some stuff doesnt yet .
whats the mod name? im getting off soon, but can test it out tomoz an see if can figure it out, havent got much work tomoz so give me summit do

[mighty bison]

The mods I’m using are- better rafts, and foundation ceilings, additional boats, addition ferry boats

[wise kindle]

Might want to hit up the mod creators to see if there are ini settings for those mods that affect foundation/ceiling placement. Most likely there are. If not, you may have to remove a mod or two, in order for the default vanilla settings to work properly

[wicked vigil]

Are there any other server owners here experiencing the 50/50 bug and having items/dinos duped with server crashes? 😦

[wise kindle]

Better question is who ISNT experiencing either of these things lol.

[wicked vigil]

Sounds about right. 😂

I just wish my unofficial server would stop crashing. Happens 3-4 times a day usually. Got 25+ people on consistently, and everyone hates the small roll backs. I was wondering if maybe the 50/50 glitch was corollated with the “lost connect / Timeout to host” crashes.

[reef charm]

My server has never crashed, is that something you guys are normally seeing?

1000 days on the counter now. I just occasionally reboot for updates

[uneven willow]

Same

UseItemDupeCheck=True is your friend

[wicked vigil]

Not sure if it is population related or what. We never had crashes with low player counts, but now at 20+ we get 3-4 a day.

Not sure if its a bad Mod or what.

[uneven willow]

Probably, a lot of trash out there

[wicked vigil]

Only use the higher tier mods. High download/ratings. And nothing super crazy. Just building mods and added creatures.

[cedar hound]

What would cause my baby dinos want care timer to be over 33hrs when it only take a few minutes for it to reach adult

[coarse vigil]

I was hopping on to play my server that I host but when I started it, it hadn’t shown up on the unofficial server list

[wicked vigil]

Oh my god….I wish I could share a video here.
My unofficial crashed, so when it came back up I flew to 50/50 on a hunch and there was probably 200 duped wild/tamed Dino’s/structures in the air that started flying all over the place. Freaking nuts.

[storm pivot]

Yeah, it's annoying. Seems like that would have been fixed by now. Along with shop mods for consoles. It's funny they think removing that stops unofficials from monetizing. It doesn't.

[stable obsidian]

Hi can someone help me with a code in the bat file so the server would start after it crashes?

[inner cloud]

your baby cuddle timer multiplier set wrong would cause this

[cedar hound]

ya the description for it was back words wording insted of a higher number it is suppose to be a lower number

[cosmic island]

@cedar hound
Me personally I put my Imprint to 0.010 that causes the baby 2 have a 5 minute timer for Imprint

[cosmic island]

I wanna start up an ark ascended server, Ik u can go on the browser and buy it there, but I'm jus making sure I don't have 2 waste an additional $60 buying the game on pc jus 2 host the server? Can I host the server without owning the game on pc or no?

[inner cloud]

yes you can host it on PC without owning it, at least as a dedicated server (not as a non dedicated server)

[cosmic island]

Ty

[grave turret]

I've been searching, has WC said anything about ASA cluster setup?

[distant hearth]

nothing yet, hoping it comes with transfers on 31st

[inner cloud]

@cedar hound these are the settings I am running - regarding baby imprinting and mature speed timers... The thing to remember is the various timers are dependent on the base dino being tamed... I picked a middle range dino for assigning these settings which result in a reasonable timeframe to breed and cuddle a dino for casual players on my server as while not being so fast that the a normally fast grown lower range dino cannot be cuddled and also done so you don't need to cuddle the baby every few minutes - 1 cuddle and you are 100% imprinted...
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=0.5
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.02
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=1
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1000
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=50

[grave turret]

thx

[distant hearth]

so i just tested an it works fine for me ,
the only thing not working is allowing the extra height on rafts , which u arent using the command for anyway , bAllowPlatformSaddleMultiFloors

The better raft itself when u make it allows to go higher than a std raft anyway so not an issue for you

[cosmic island]

I added the stats bot to my discord cuz I wanna be able 2 see how many members is in server but it doesn't have any way of setting the bot up like mee6 and ticket bot, anyone know how I can setup the bot??

[cosmic island]

I'm using Beacon to edit server settings for a new server, and I'm looking at beacons default difficulty settings and I'm curious if this is even official settings?

Loot Scale: %500
Difficulty Value: 5
Override Official Difficulty: 5

For ASA

[distant hearth]

no not official settings , im pretty sure official default loot scale is just 1 or 100% in beacon ui , it also has some stat clamp overides in the ini , to clamp saddles to 124 armour max and guns to maybe 324% damage?
i cant rember the actual numbers but i do have the ini code to clamp it

[wintry scroll]

Is there a way to change stat multipliers for dinos or players on dedicated in asa?

[mighty bison]

I’m at work now. Would it be ok if I DM you later?

[distant hearth]

yes using the correct lines in the game.ini
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier

[cosmic island]

I'm using Beacon to edit server settings for a new server, and I'm looking at beacons default difficulty settings and I'm curious if this is even official settings?

Loot Scale: %500
Difficulty Value: 5
Override Official Difficulty: 5

Also wut r the official caps for "item stats limits?"

[solemn zephyr]

19800

[distant hearth]

cheers i literally just found it as u typed
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#ItemStatClamps

i knew id seen it somewhere lmao

[wintry scroll]

So I need to add them in manually?

Figures..

[distant hearth]

yes most server configuration that is beyond standard you need to add in , depending on how it was setup in the first place, if u already have the lines there, then they shud be altered

[wintry scroll]

I don't have any of those lines.. but it probably 'would' work if I added them.

[distant hearth]

it will work if you add them in correct place under the correct header,
stop server before making any ini changes , make change, save it, restart server

edit what is it your trying to achieve?

[wintry scroll]

I need stat modifiers access for customizing my server.. I noticed something on what you send involving levels overrides. I'll probably use that as well

Assuming it works 😆

[distant hearth]

level overirdes for players and dinos are not working yet in ark ascended, only for ark evolved afaik

[wintry scroll]

Oh ok. Good to know

[cedar hound]

Ya im gonna try a few different timers to see which best suits my mature rate

[cedar hound]

👍

[distant hearth]

use the beacon omni app/program
free version will let you adjust them to what ever suits your needs
and see the effect on each dino

[cedar hound]

i had that but for some reason everytime i update the settings it causes my server to go into a restart loop

[distant hearth]

so in beacon once u have the breeding how u want , hit export , click the game.ini
copy the lines out that you want, paste in the server ini ensuring to not duplicate what you have
or just transfer the numbers to your server manually typing in each setting

what ever way you do it, you still gonna have stop the server to make any alterations so.... better to just do it once, with the correct settings to suit your need

[cedar hound]

true i can just manually enter the numbers into my setting

[wintry scroll]

i placed PlayerBaseStatMultipliers[Weight]=5 (should give 50 points / skill point) in the game.ini

couldnt connect, so i wiped server. im in, lets see....

[distant hearth]

no that wont work , it shud be ,
PlayerBaseStatMultipliers[7]=5

[wintry scroll]

the guide told me to put [Weight] .. should i change?

[distant hearth]

[7]= attribute for weight
=5 is 5x the standard amount

[wintry scroll]

ha, yeah something is.. off... cant lvl up to 2

thanks willis

[distant hearth]

its a little confusing but does give examples if you read down a little ,

[wintry scroll]

had like 8million xp though

i was the most experienced lvl 1 in ark HISTORY

[distant hearth]

lolz

you need to be careful messing with health an damage stats , as for what ever reason they dont use 1 as default

[wintry scroll]

this is true, i died to a dodo earlier configuring stuff

it was .. very powerful

[distant hearth]

🙂

[wintry scroll]

i hope they add level overrides soon - i remember a time when i had 420 max caps

dinos could be like 500+ depending on how you tamed it

[distant hearth]

dinos can still go over level, its just player levels at the moment i believe

[wintry scroll]

yes, from what i saw this is true. even some mods allow like lvl 1000s dinos (for whatever reason)

[distant hearth]

so if you set say overrideofficialdifficulty=10 you will get level 300 dinos

[wintry scroll]

my levels were glitched again, for whatever reason: it saved player data and wiped world and tried to apply my things (failed) resulting in weird xp glitch ha

creating a new character for the world fixed it though

also, this increased my stats 🤔 i wonder how to do it for skill/lvls

found it nvm

[distant hearth]

cool, basically same code just alter the atrribute number

[wintry scroll]

word

game.ini for these too?

[distant hearth]

yep

[wintry scroll]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed<type>[<attribute>]=<multiplier>

@distant hearth does this parameter require "<type>" to be _add .. or can i remove it?

[distant hearth]

remove

[wintry scroll]

thought so
ty

[distant hearth]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=5

wud be 5x weight per level for all dinos, the type is used if u only wanted say one particualr dino to be effected

[wintry scroll]

ah ok cool

[humble fox]

Does anyone know why my friends nitrado server is showing up on the list? He plays ps5 im on steam

[wintry scroll]

for ascended?

[humble fox]

Yes

[wintry scroll]

probably just a parameter you didnt ✅

[humble fox]

Our setting look the same ill keep trying thank you though

[stable obsidian]

Hi can someone help me with a code in the bat file so the server would start after it crashes?

[distant hearth]

it shows for him but not you or for you and not him ?

[cosmic island]

_

Ok so I'm playing ASA on ps5, I'm hosting a server on pc using Beacon, but I do NOT have ASA on pc, can I still put ASA mods on my server without downloading ASA? Or do I need 2 buy the game 2 add mods??

_

[wise kindle]

If it runs without mods it will run with them.

[cosmic island]

That makes no sense 2 me

[wise kindle]

The answer to your question is yes.

[cosmic island]

How would I add asa mods using beacon then?n

[distant hearth]

you dont, they need to go in the start up cmd

beacon doesnt do that properly yet for asa unless they recently updated it

[cosmic island]

Who is they?

[distant hearth]

your running the server through stmcmd right?

[cosmic island]

I'm using beacon I'm not sure about stmcmd tho

[distant hearth]

beacon doesnt run a server, its just for configuring server files

you have two options to run your own server from pc, if u own it in steam u can use a dedicated server tool from there,
if you dont own it, u need to download stmcmd and configure a batch file to install and then start the server, preferably another to update it

[cosmic island]

Ok

[distant hearth]

you will also need to know how to forward port 7777udp through firewall, any antivirus software and the routers ports

[cosmic island]

I'd probably go with the stmcmd, but configuring a batch file sounds very complicated 2 someone like me that doesn't have alot of experience with this kinda stuff lol

[cosmic island]

Ok ye I definitely don't know how 2 do that

So it'll prolly be best for me to use extra $60 2 buy ASA?

[distant hearth]

its pretty straight forward once u read a few guides on it, its just a line of txt that is a startup command for the server made into a .bat file

[wise kindle]

Under the General Settings tab, search for mods and add them there.

Add them like 354568,455335, etc

No spaces and comma seperated

[distant hearth]

that wont work for asa server on beacon , it uses the old ?mods=xxxxx,xxxxx still
asa needs -mods="xxxxxx,xxxxx,xxxxx"

[cosmic island]

I'm pretty sure I did see a setting called mod and it had a white line beside it for typing

[cosmic island]

So I prolly need 2 buy game

[wise kindle]

Thats the one. You just have to look up the mod number from Curseforge. Be sure its crossplay or it wont work.

[distant hearth]

no u dont need too, just need to learn how to set it up via cmd, plenty guides on interwebs

[wise kindle]

Btw Beacon will add the mod without using the cmd

[cosmic island]

I have like a total of 20 mods I plan to add and like only 3 say (cross-platform) beside them -_-

So I'll prolly have 2 make a console only server, no?

[distant hearth]

i dont reccomend this, especially not for someone new to server setup, its just asking for trouble.
if a mod is not crossplay it means its steam only for now mostly

[cosmic island]

I tried all 20 mods on ps5 single player they worked fine

[distant hearth]

if they work on console an you tested then shud be fine i guess

[cosmic island]

So ye imma prolly jus buy asa to setup mods, I'll eventually switch to pc anyways

[distant hearth]

is upto you, still gonna have to look up guides on how to do it an the port forwarding,
doing it via steam dedicated server itself is slightly easier i guess, but stm cmd isnt so bad once u realise what you need to do

[severe bison]

@distant hearth just wanted to let you know that the update part is working! my server updated to 33.59 🎉

[cosmic island]

Thx 4 the help

[severe bison]

But i need to restart it after i update it

so the update works

[distant hearth]

if u get stuck feel free to ping me, its not hard if i managed to suss it out anyone can 🙂
it takes like 5 -10mins once u know how to do it , its just figuring out the basics takes abit .
If someone else does it for you then it leaves you stuck in the future if anything goes wrong

[marsh kraken]

anyone know [EU]arcorporated ???

[granite jungle]

cluster open yet?

[wise kindle]

Theres probably 5000 clusters open. Take your pick.

[olive talon]

Cluster IDs are not available yet. Possibly on the 31st when transferring opens.

[woven zenith]

not sure if this is an unofficial setup question but i'm on an unofficial server trying to make a trap boat on a motorboat with all metal. i made the foundations and when i try to put metal dino gates on it it tells me it's too far away from the foundation and i cant place this structure on the foundation

[wise kindle]

Probably hit up #bobs-with-probs tbh for in game issues.

[woven zenith]

Alright appreciate it

[severe bison]

So i have a dedi server and i have ssome mods that aren't cross platform so now my PS5 friend would join and need to download these! is it possible or not tthat he can join me?

[velvet forge]

^all the mods need to be crossplay for other platforms to play together pc/playstation/xbox

[severe bison]

And if it isn't?

If i do the Port Forwarding is it for every server and i don't have to do it again?

[distant hearth]

when u set up a an asa server it defaults to udp port 7777
if u wished to have multiple servers then you would have to specify different ports for each server and open the required port that you set on each

[granite jungle]

thnks appreciated you!

[severe bison]

@distant hearth in which time periods does the server save?

[distant hearth]

by default every 15 mins if i rem right, then makes a back up every hour i think

[severe bison]

that is fantastic! and where can i view these backups?

[distant hearth]

presuming you didnt tell the server to use a differnt place then , shootergame/saved/savedarks/TheIsland_wp

[severe bison]

thanks!

What was the command for the max players again?

[distant hearth]

-winlivemaxplayers=x

where x is the number of players u want

[distant hearth]

here is the file breakdowns for the saves an backups

.arkprofile are the player saves
.profilebak are the player anti corruption backup

same for .arktribe an .tribebak

then world saves are
TheIsland_WP.ark curent save
TheIsland_WP_24.1..2024_12.05.49.ark backup save with the date an time of backup

[severe bison]

Thanks! That is usefull to know!

[severe bison]

How do i install mods?

i put -mods= into my start server .bat but its not working?

@distant hearth do you know anything maybe?

[distant hearth]

-mods="xxxxx,xxxx,xxxx,xxxxx"

like this ^

[severe bison]

I dm you

[leaden fractal]

hey dont know if this is the right place to post this but first time playing on pc and me and my buddy are trying to get back into the game but cant seem to find any servers? i dont know if im just lookign for it wrong or if nobody is actually playing the game, can anyone help me?

[wise kindle]

Make sure your game is updated and you may need to restart your pc and router to get a good connection.

[dusk hound]

does anyone know how to ban people from a nitrado server? nothing i seem to look up has the option

[leaden fractal]

no the thing is are there any populated servers and if so how do i find them and join them?

[wise kindle]

Theres around 50k servers of all kinds, PVP and PVE. If you cannot see ANY of them, there is something very wrong with either your game or your internet connection.

[frank egret]

The game is dying and quick cuz wc is shit and a bunch of liars

Ppl finally got fed up and then palworld and enshrouded launched

[wise kindle]

Palworld runs better and is a great game. I cant blame players for jumping ship. Ark runs like absolute shit and its not improving anytime soon unfortunately. WC doesn’t make progress and fix issues with any sort of urgency.

[frank egret]

Palworld did something wc refuses to do too, multi threaded world processing

I have a server I have 5 cores to and I’ll be damned if it uses all of them all the time

I actually hope it tanks, maybe they will finally pull thier head out of their asses once they start losing money even worse then they already are

[wise kindle]

I’d wager most of the game code was never rewritten to take advantage of most of the engine’s abilities. Its an unfortunate copy and paste update. But anyway, this is server setup, so I’ll leave this be.

[celest halo]

palworld has a bad memory leak with there linux dedicated server

[wise kindle]

Tbf they arent comparable. Ark has had weeks to fix their leaks. When Palworld is the same age, then were can compare.

[celest halo]

true but arks are not as bad, i can run ark for a week without restarting and it only use up to 50% of ram, palword in 3 days is at 80% used out of 32GB

[olive talon]

Let's probably move palworld content to #general. Thanks

[frank egret]

they didnt rewrite anything the entirety of asa was literally copy files over and they hit a few check boxes for UE5 features and redid the terrain of the map to make it look like they did alot, they did a weeks worth of shit and charged us for a new game, fuck wc and fuck snail, im bout to drop all 30 of my servers for good and call it quits with them

[brittle echo]

So with console mods size bug finally being fixed and mod sizes going down, do we know if nitrados end is gonna shrink down to match? On my PS5 all my mods sizes went down by about half but on nitrado its still bigger. Ex. Svartalfheim is now 1.8 gigs on console but on nitrados end its still 3.3 gigs

[wise kindle]

I seriously doubt Nitrado will decrease mod limits. No one wants that.

[brittle echo]

Thats not what I asked, the mods themselves have gone down in size on console but still show the bigger size and take up more space on the server. So even tho on console im using 5 gigs my nitrado server is using 8 gigs for the same mods

[wise kindle]

And dont make the mistake of comparing the size of the client version with the server version. They are both very different and its the same size server side whether its Nitrado or selfhosted.

[wise kindle]

Yes. Clients are different than server versions. They will be different sizes.

[brittle echo]

They weren't before the most recent fix to PS. I used the exact same space on my PS as I did on the nitrado server

[wise kindle]

Likely cuz PS mod system was broken. The fix now shows the true sizes.

If you would like more info on how servers handle mods, hit up the modding channels. They can explain sizes better than I.

[regal star]

Is there a reason y when I try to let a Dino out the cryopod it say I’m not nearby a cryofridge ready? And is there a way to fix it

[humble thicket]

If your on a server theres a line you need to add to the gameusersettings.ini if your on single player then i dunno if that works

[regal star]

Can u help me with the line

[humble thicket]

DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement =True

[regal star]

Kool

[humble thicket]

Add that to your servers gameusersettings.ini

Under the [serversettings] header

[fathom meadow]

anyone know when transfers are open for nitrado?

[abstract ether]

Morning! Sorry to ask again but anyone had the issue after install a mod ps5 users show xbox controllers , character creation is broke , hairstyle too, and imprints doesn’t show . I tried everything: delete the mod, use a new ini, change the server to an own machine , reinstall the game … I can’t wipe of course players have progress , any idea?

[abstract ether]

They announce that will be able 24 but I don’t see it yet

[fathom meadow]

yeah thats what i thought, i checked for the crossark option in nitrado under the settings section but havent seen anything 😦

[brittle echo]

I had that with the Felis mod, I just wound up removing it

[raven wigeon]

Lol, 11 player on asa vs

Damn phone, 11k players on asa vs 23k on ase

[abstract ether]

I removed mods that I installed when it’s happens and nothing 🥺

[raven wigeon]

any1 used the addmutation comand??? how does it work?

[brittle echo]

Ah sorry thats the only mod that did that to me and removing it fixed it for me. I would recommend starting a singleplayer session with all the same mods (if you're running a server and if the bug replicates in singleplayer) and removing them one by one to see if it fixes

[round blaze]

hi all from italy, can someone help me settings unofficial pve server for having pvp events on it? I would organize pvp events for my players but i don't understand how i do it

[frozen atlas]

Good evening, I am currently experiencing a problem on my server. People manage to transfer dinos and items via their solo games to my server. What to do ?

[nova moat]

this

[distant hearth]

turn off transfers

[frozen atlas]

How ? @distant hearth

[distant hearth]

depnds on the server, nitrado might have just tick box options for it, if not need to do it in gameusersetting.ini

[frozen atlas]

do you have the order please

[distant hearth]

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False

theese lines effect what can come on the server , in the gus.ini

set to true to block things coming on the server an prevent uploads as required

[frozen atlas]

Should I put a space between the two?

[distant hearth]

no doesnt need it, i just broke it up , to allow you see easier the group between the two.

i presume your new to running a server?
if so make sure u shut it down before making ini changes

if the server has those lines in already, change them to true to block the option for each line.
if the server doesnt already have them , you will need to add them , under the
[serversettings] header

[frozen atlas]

I didn't understand, do you have a screen?

I don't have these lines currently

[distant hearth]

no, u will have to use google an look up how to run a server, everything is on the interwebs, youtube videos etc
it will vary from differnt providers how you do it

[distant hearth]

if you dont have the lines then they need adding into the correct ini, under the header i stated

[frozen atlas]

if I set false it doesn't work@distant hearth

[distant hearth]

of course it doesnt, i told you they need to be set to true 🙂

[frozen atlas]

Sorry...

[distant hearth]

its fine im not great at explaining things

[outer crater]

hello
i have the game on steam and my brother have it on epic games and we don't have the same servers and can't create ones and we want to play with eachother but don't know how. any help ?

[empty comet]

You're talking ASE I would gather, you have to make a unofficial server and enable the -crossplay option and the -PublicIPForEpic. I don't have it, so I can't help much more than trying those out... Documentation: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[fresh python]

anyone else having issues getting past searching for servers? i've tried official and unofficial. server owner is having the same issue(hes UK i'm US)

[empty comet]

See #announcements

[fresh python]

ah thanks

[magic viper]

I need help , im trying to join my friend's non-dedicated server but i dont get any window telling me to put a password can somebody please help me find the issue

[empty comet]

I just answered you in #bobs-with-probs, see #announcements, the issue is true for unofficial also.

[gleaming kite]

any 1 else having problems that no unofficial servers is showing

[devout rampart]

for admins having issue with the official network down, tell to players to use the old Epic ASE trick "open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7777" (or whatelse) from console command. For people having issue loading console on main menù, change hotkey (e.g. F1). Bonus: unreal 5.2 work even with dns ( "open www.XXX.com:7777" )

NOTE: doesn't work with password protected servers.

[cursive gazelle]

Has someone set up an dedicated server on ionos, I need help showing the server in the game, console(ps5) and pc?

[modern finch]

this worked like a charm, thank you, i posted to my discord so my members can join again

[distant hearth]

dont for get to prss the player hosted server button when searching

[devout rampart]

@slate cosmos or @olive talon can you temp pin this or make your post in another section?

[cursive gazelle]

i did, but i dont know if i have to but add some params when you start the server

[distant hearth]

i dont know, depends how you told the server to start, on what port etc

[slate cosmos]

hum not sure sorry

[untold turtle]

Is anyone else still having problems seeing their server on the join list? I updated our server and it still isn't showing up, but I'm seeing a rotating list of 200 servers available. Any ideas?

[frank egret]

find a new game lol

[devout rampart]

try temporary my solution up here (20 message ago). Network is still recovering.

[distant hearth]

epic is having issues with the eos id system, due to high traffic lolz

Update - EOS Matchmaking (Sessions and Lobby services) are offline due to an issue.
We are working to bring this back online, and as part of this we'll be performing a force restart. An outage to existing sessions will be noticed, and services should come back after the restart.
Jan 25, 2024 - 20:46 UTC

[untold turtle]

Ah it's a password protected server, so I guess it's just the waiting game then.

[tacit ether]

Anyone know why my ASA server automatically closes now after launch? I;'ve changed nothing in weeks and now it won't start up lol

[modern finch]

might wanna update it if you have done nothing in weeks

[tacit ether]

I've updated the server to new releases lol I meant i've changed 0 settings.

all I've done it restart it to apply updates and now it won't launch

[distant hearth]

any error messages? anything in the logs? any mods on it ? mods get updated randomly an cause issues

[modern finch]

👆 thats a good point, a simple restart of a server will cause all the mods to update, that could create a conflict that didnt exist before

Crashes can typically be found here
\ShooterGame\Saved\Crashes

[tacit ether]

No mods no error msg's

It just closes after it says "server has successfully starrted"

[distant hearth]

you can try verify files , just incase theres an issue there

[tacit ether]

I'm pretty sure i've done that using the validate cmd line

Oh, i do still have 1 mod.. the winter wonderland one.. they said for players tokeep there stuff it has to stay on there?

Or can we remove the winterwonderland mod

[distant hearth]

not really sure where to go from there then, if there no crash reports or anything in logs.
last resort can try using the anticorruption world backup .
or simply copying everying out of TheIsland_WP folder for now an see if it starts fresh like that

[distant hearth]

no cant remove it yet, or players can lost some in game assets from it

just make sure to copy the save folder TheIsland_WP somewhere safe before messing with anything so you dont lose an data

[tacit ether]

I don't run mods.. i run plugins, I removed all the plugins and the server started. So now i get the joys of re-adding the plugins 1 by 1 to findout which one is being a ***

i hate this game sometimes lol

[distant hearth]

yep love hate game

[tacit ether]

now you know if there is no errors and the game just closes.. plugins aren't working 😛

[severe pawn]

Hello, a player, it happens many times that when opening an inventory he dies, and nothing appears in the log. The inventory remains in a bag. I reinstalled the game and it's still happening. Does anyone know what it could be? Thank you

[cedar valley]

My players seem to recently be experiencing random disconnects from my dedicated server during server saves - when I'm logged in as admin, I see the usual slowframe alert of ~1100ms when the autosave triggers but that's always happened. Seems to be a timeout issue occurring --- anyway to adjust this or recommended settings to prevent this? For ASA

[wispy yarrow]

Hey guys, am i able to change the font or at least the size of the font on wood/metal signs for a server?

[vivid spindle]

got an issue of only consoles with flying straight up ground dinos and players floating instead of walking, not happening on pc though.

[cursive gazelle]

hi, i need help to display a ark sa, dedicated server for ps5, i setup a server on ionos i follow all steps, the server start and i have the crossplay option, but i cant fin the server??

[distant hearth]

is the server running properly, in the server window you shud see in bottom left a small green circle an ticking loop ?
did u do the port forwarding?
asa servers are crossplay by default, what crossplay option did you set ?

[cursive gazelle]

in my case is a vps, and yes i opend the ports

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=<SERVER_NAME>?ServerPassword=<password>?ServerAdminPassword=<ADMIN_PASS>?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye

my command line

[distant hearth]

yes but it will be running windows right?, then inside windows when you start the server via stm cmd, it shows the server window

[cursive gazelle]

yes

the status is green

[distant hearth]

@cursive gazelle start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=<SERVER_NAME>?ServerPassword=<password>?ServerAdminPassword=<ADMIN_PASS> -WinLiveMaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye

not that it shud matter since the server is started in status green with ticking loop, but , it was using some incorrect commands for asa

[cursive gazelle]

thanks, but it not shows :(, the server start okay the status is green and all but nothing

[distant hearth]

whats the server name? i can check if it shows up for me on steam ,
that can help narrow down if its a port forwarding issue or anything like that

[cursive gazelle]

ElWayuGGDS

[distant hearth]

that one does not show up, i get one with a very similar name,
ElWayuGG

so it wud seem that there is some sort issue with the port forwarding ,
asa needs port 7777udp forwarded unless u specify -portxxxx ,xxxx being the port you assign in the startup .bat

[cursive gazelle]

yeah that my nitrado one, ElWayuGGDS that one is the one im trying to setup on ionos vps

[distant hearth]

id recheck the port forwarding, do it again if needed , its all i can think it would be since the server is actually running in ticking loop

if there is any firewall on the windows version thats running it will also need to done through that inbound an outbound

[cursive gazelle]

im going to dm you to send you a screenshot

[edgy latch]

my unofficial server says that the server is live but i cant find it in the server list, is there some way to fix that?

says ticking loop, and i have "show password protected" and "show player servers" on with no other sort parameters

server config says that the game is on version 33.59

[inner cloud]

@edgy latch check port forwarding to make sure you're forwarding the right ports on your router, check windows firewall to make sure the dedicated server can pass through the firewall on the ports you are using. Try pinging the server ip locally to make sure the server is at least visible to the local network. Setup rcon and an rcon port for your server and see if you can login to the server via rcon. These are all things you can try to determine the issue... Most likely portforwarding and/or windows firewall settings are the issue as that is the most common mistakes people make setting up any server

[devout rampart]

if ASA, no need of QueryPort and MaxPlayers is "-WinLiveMaxPlayers"

So it would be as there:
start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=<SERVER_NAME>?ServerPassword=<password>?ServerAdminPassword=<ADMIN_PASS>?Port=7777? -WinLiveMaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye

(bonus, if you don't set "port" and remove the argument, ASA will use 7777 anyway)

[distant hearth]

asa wont set a port like that anyway , it changed to -port=xxxx. but it just defaults to 7777 unless told otherwise so dont need it unless mutiple servers on one machine

[finite rose]

Hello, everyone.
So, I'm trying to setup my first dedicated server on linux and the installation process has worked just fine through steamcmd.
I've been able to boot up the server as intended and the logs tell me that the booting process was a success. The server shows up on Steam's Game Servers browser where I can set it as a favorite. The problems begin when I try to join the server, as I can't find my server in the game's server list, not even in the favorites tab. If I try to join it through Steam's server list, it just throws me the "unable to query server info for invite" error.
I've been trying for hours to apply every solution I could find online, mostly port forwarding solutions, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know what could cause this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I'm almost giving up on this. Thanks is advance.

[frank egret]

it takes time sometimes hrs

also the in game server listing is broken af

also which version of ark are you hosting?

[finite rose]

Do you think it could work if I just let the server run for a few hours and then try to join again?
I thought that by setting the server as favorite through steam with the server's public IP would bypass the need to find it in the server list.
The version is the newest one available on linux, 358.17.

[frank egret]

no is it ASA or ASE?

two different version sof the same game essentially one is a remake

[finite rose]

It's Ark Survival Evolved, steam's app ID 376030

[frank egret]

did you forward your ports?

[jaunty vortex]

Are you running it in the same PC as you play Ark? Because they will conflict over the ports in use.

[cursive gazelle]

no, is a vps

[jaunty vortex]

So you are renting it?

[finite rose]

yep, ports 7777, 7778 and 27015 , both UDP and TCP

[frank egret]

whats the server name @finite rose

[cursive gazelle]

yes

[jaunty vortex]

I bet your provider is blocking the ports.

On their firewall I mean.

Or their router is not forwarding them properly.

[cursive gazelle]

i opend the port on their ui they provide for me, the have that setting,

cant send a sc here,

[jaunty vortex]

I host my own from home on a dedicated PC.

everyone I’ve seen with issues has been trying to do it on a virtual that they rent.

[finite rose]

Server name is just "Jofraniac's Ark"

[frank egret]

ip

[finite rose]

I'll send it through DM

[frank egret]

ok

[cursive gazelle]

did the same steps on my pc, and it work, the server show up, xD🤣

welp

so i did set the multihome param on the vps server and the server show up !! xD

[gusty jungle]

Is it possible to whitelist list players and admin in ASA?
If so, is there any guides or information that you can give to help me get it setup?

[distant hearth]

glad you got it working, what do you mean by multihome?

[cursive gazelle]

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7777?MultiHome=IP_ADDRESS -NoBattlEye

[severe pawn]

Hello, a player, it happens many times that when opening an inventory he dies, and nothing appears in the log. The inventory remains in a bag. I reinstalled the game and it's still happening. Does anyone know what it could be? Thank you

[jaunty vortex]

Set passwords for both?

I don’t think other methods that worked in ASE now work in ASA.

[sharp nebula]

is anyone elses Nitrado server bugging out? Mines keeps saying that it's restarting over and over again. I've tried stopping it and starting it again but then it goes back into the same loop

[jaunty vortex]

You’d be better going into Nitrado’s discord and asking them for help.

[echo bloom]

How do I join the different servers

[solemn zephyr]

#bobs-with-probs

[jaunty vortex]

Google for “how do i join an ark survival ascended server”

Loads of guides on how to join

[scarlet ermine]

Both of mine are doing the same, thinking one of the mods is corrupt. I'm running Arkomatic, admin panel, solo farm, and peloyri cryo

[wise kindle]

Usually grabbing a good save fixes that.

[tardy pine]

In ASA, when using the cheat SetImprintedPlayer <NewImprinterName> <playerID> command, does the EoS ID work or is there another ID for the player that I need to use?

[distant hearth]

it used to be off steam id, we now doesnt exist in asa, so id say try the eos first, hope it works

[tardy pine]

I've seen the player ark id come up sometimes in the listplayer command... sometimes... very rarely. hopefully it doesnt want that

[distant hearth]

hopefully, if not try have them give u the implant id, but i doubt that works, its possible it just doesnt work at all for asa atm

[wise kindle]

You have to use the EOS id for the command now.

[tardy pine]

Thank you

[wise kindle]

Painful unfortunately

[distant hearth]

did ced mix up client an server again ?

[wise kindle]

Idk. Feeling pretty disgusted with WC updates lately. The game runs like crap and Im losing confidence that they can optimize it again. Grrrr.

[sharp nebula]

The caryo one is the one I have too. Hopefully it's not that because I have soooo many dinos cryod

[sharp nebula]

I got an email back from Nirtado. They told me to try and rollback to another save

[wise kindle]

Yes, grab a good save. This usually fixes the issue.

[cedar hound]

anyone know what code i have to put in my ini to have the engrams auto unlock as you lvl

[distant hearth]

you can use this in game ini , but it unlocks tek at lvl 100 without defeating bosses ,
bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true

the way to do it with out tek unlocking is line by line, i just use beacon for it , but it wud look similar to this,
EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_StoneHatchet_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=2)
EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Spear_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=2)

etc etc for each engram and level, its a lot lines for all

[cedar hound]

oh ok i thought it was a single line but thank you

[distant hearth]

you can us ethe single but as i say , the side effect is tek auto unlocks at lvl 100

[cedar hound]

i dont mind that

[unique sable]

Is there anyway of changing the max tamed dino lvl that it caps on I been breeding my rexes im at 274 and it won't go any higher

[cedar hound]

whats the code for that

[distant hearth]

you can use this in game ini , but it unlocks tek at lvl 100 without defeating bosses ,
bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true

[cedar hound]

thats fine some of my players dont want to have to fight boss fights to get them so i agreed to auto unlock them

thank you

and does it amtter where i put it

[distant hearth]

yes , it has to go in game.ini and under the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] header (that header is likely already there if its an established server ), if the line is already there as false change it to true

[cedar hound]

thank you

[scarlet ermine]

I tried a roll back and it's doing the same thing.

[late estuary]

Anyone else having issues launching the server web interface on Nitrado's site?

[distant hearth]

its nitrado it often has issues, best thing is join there discord for updates tbh

[late estuary]

Makes sense. I'll look for their discord

[gusty jungle]

i have passwords on both but I was hoping to setup exclusive join like I did with ASE.

[jaunty vortex]

Doesn’t seem to work 😢

[gusty jungle]

Hopefully they will get that functionality added soon. I loved on ASE when I could just whitelist me and my friends and didn't have to mess with passwords at all.

[humble thicket]

Hello guys, how do I add admin whitelist for my server?

Adding allowedcheatersteamid doesn’t seem to work

[distant hearth]

if its for asa steam ids are no longer used, it goes from eos ids,
i cudnt get it to work using those, i googled it an found a few pages with various methods that other s said had worked for them , but still havent figured it out myself

[humble thicket]

Yes it is for asa

[distant hearth]

yea in that case it needs eos ids, thats as much as i know sry ,

[humble thicket]

Thanks I will googling on how to get my eos id

All the info on internet seems pretty much outdated

[distant hearth]

oh that part is easy, u can pull it from the server or from in single player , or from the save files an open each in a txt file , bout 4th line down gives the name of who it belongs too

[round haven]

Hey guys! I having trouble with BattleEye and was wondering if anyone could help?

I have recently redownloaded ARK (Survival Evolved) after a few years, but I am unable to join any server with BattleEye enabled??

It just says "Kicked by Battle Eye: Client not responding"

When i first downloaded it, i could join some servers for like 5 mins before getting an error message and getting kicked off. However, after verifying my game files I can't even join these servers :(

[regal star]

Can any one guide me to a place where I can get a loot drop settings?

[loud lotus]

@scarlet erminethat isn't always the issue, it is a known problem with Nitrado servers. need to open a ticket

@regal stargoogle or Beacon Free

[regal star]

I got beacon nd I asked google can find anything that helps. Nd beacon is complicated for me. I don’t know a lot bout computers

[loud lotus]

what are you doing, just trying to boost the type of drops?

drops on my servers are boosted

ASA or ASE?

[regal star]

I’m try to get boosted on my server

ASA nd would love to get boosted drop from each one.I got only the main ones but had to pay to get them done and it half way done at that

[loud lotus]

give me a few to get you the code

[regal star]

Ty

[loud lotus]

@regal stardrop this into your game.ini settings SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier=10.0

[regal star]

Ty

[sharp nebula]

Yup, same here. I'll email them again

[loud lotus]

I had the loop issue a few minutes ago. if you stay on the server page long enough and it won't shut down, there is actually a popup that happens that will allow you to shut down or restart. After telling it to shut down and then wait a minute or two and restarted all was fine.

[river tinsel]

anyone is reporting random invisible Dragon in his arena ?

[nimble wagon]

is there a code to add into ini for Mutation when breeding breed so many it all 0

[inner cloud]

not really an ini setting, but there are mods that allow you to feed dino's a potion or a special kibble that then guarantees mutations

the one we run is imprint kibble which gives 100% imprinting and rapid baby growth when fed to a baby and 100% guaranteed mutations when fed to a female dino who is on mating

you can also configure it for your server for however many levels the mutations add as well as the option for additional mutations

[odd coyote]

Unable to access Tek cave, despite having all items needed, is anyone else having this issue and if so how did you resolve it?

[wise kindle]

My Steam players are having this issue.

[river tinsel]

ok i'm not alone then

[wise kindle]

I havent done a ton of testing but when its started by my admins on Win10 or Xbox, its not invisible. So might be on the Steam side? Needs testing.

[river tinsel]

both console and steam having the issue regarding to my testing

[wise kindle]

Weird. Its another wonderful random WC bug that will probably never get fixed. Lovely.

[stoic gale]

how do i setup an unoficial server

like a private server hosted to play with friends

[distant hearth]

google it, there are like 6 ways , if u count non-dedicated aswell
some paid , some u can run from home computer if its good enough and you have good enough internet

[stoic gale]

and is there anyway to play cross play?

and im talking about ark not asa btw if u misunderstand

[distant hearth]

if its asa yes , dedicated servers are crossplay, not non-dedicated though

[stoic gale]

so its impossible in ark?

[solemn zephyr]

ASE?

[stoic gale]

yea

ase

[solemn zephyr]

Steam can crossplay with Epic only on ASE

[sharp nebula]

I gave this a try and it's still stuck. I emailed Nirtado and they told me to use a backup, which I did and I'm still stuck in the loop.

It's been 2 days now and I've sent them another ticket. Hopefully they can fix it on their end 😅

[stoic gale]

how

[olive talon]

https://pingperfect.com/index.php/knowledgebase/82/Ark-Survival-Evolved--How-to-connect-to-server-Steam-and-Epic.html

[torpid ferry]

My Nitrado server is stuck in a restart loop, I tried using the backup and that did not work. Does anybody else have any ideas? Nitrado has not gotten back to me yet & it has been doing this for at least 24 hours but possibly longer

[distant hearth]

you can try the nitrado discord or forums,. if u have mods you might find one those is acting up.
you can load anti corrupt backups if u know how
mostly though, general users just have wait for nitrado to sort there shitty server out

[regal cipher]

Nitrado is ignoring help requests. I have posted on their discord and created ticket 1.5 day ago. Got no response till now. It’s a shity company and theirs deal is hurting the whole community.

Anyone can reccommend vps? 😀

[distant hearth]

if u learn how to setup a server through stmcmd , then any shud be good, practice on ure home pc, if unsure

[regal cipher]

I know how to do it. Just wonder if some are better and maybe cheaper 😀

[distant hearth]

cheaper no, u will pay more atm i think , prob if u can do it through linux get cheaper, just have google search it i guess

[reef nymph]

Hello!

I'm sure you guys have had your fair share of people asking for help regarding setting up their own dedicated servers and... Here's another one!

Quick rundown:

• I have the server running via SteamCMD. Seems to be fine.
• I have set up the local machine with a local static IP and set up DNS servers properly
• I have set inbound rules in windows firewall to allow 7777-7778 and 27015. TCP and UDP
• I have forwarded those same ports on my router and directed them to the local machine static IP. Both TCP and UDP.

My ISP is giving me a dynamic IP. Do I NEED to have a static IP supplied for this whole thing to work out? Or is something else wrong? I can't find or connect to the server.

Using PFPortChecker and testing the ports they say the packets never get there.

[distant hearth]

is it for asa or ase?
are you telling the server start with any specific port?

[reef nymph]

ase

I followed the guide on the official wiki that said port 7777

in the .bat file that starts the server

[distant hearth]

also trying setting the ports outbound too, through firewall, any a/v an what ever between u an the internet(routers,hubs,switches etc)

[distant hearth]

yea shud be using 7777 then if u have ?port=7777

[reef nymph]

will try setting outbound ports on windows firewall now

yes, it says ?port=7777 amongst other things in the line of commands issued through the .bat file

[distant hearth]

if the server shows as ticking loop with the status green dot its running fine,
might worth tryiing connect via the ip adress,
in game console cmd
open <ipadress>:<port>
i.e
open 192.168.174.245:7777

[regal cipher]

https:// youtu.be/oHWW66pxolA?feature=shared should help you setting things up

[reef nymph]

Really appreciate the replies!
What do you mean by the green dot?

The CMD window for the server says that the server is started and that it occasionally saves the world. I guess that means its healthy and running?

I tried adding my ip adress I get from whatsmyip + the port 7777 into the steam servers list but it just says "did not find any server at that adress" 🤔

[ripe imp]

Server 5265 cannot get online. Some people can..but a bunch of us cannot

[distant hearth]

bottom left of the server window its running , left of ticking loop it shud show a green dot , im sure its running if its do world saves etc,
got be some sort network issue imo

[distant hearth]

#bobs-with-probs or #server-reports , this channel is for unofficial servers

[ripe imp]

Ahh

[reef nymph]

I'm a bit sceptic regarding user made tools and softwares 😬 But that would potentially work for Survival Evolved server as well?

[distant hearth]

no it wudnt work, asa only really needs port 7777udp forwarded to work, ase needs more,steam query port to show in listings etc

[reef nymph]

but theoretically it should work if just the ports are forwarded correctly and the server runs?

[distant hearth]

not really as it wud give you the wrong version of the game, u wud have to change the app i'ds etc ,

here is the ase ports neded, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Network

[reef nymph]

Yeah, so if those ports are opened and forwarded to the local machine it should be fine

And the firewall on said machine let's those ports through aswell

[distant hearth]

i dunno about networking much tbh, so im cant really help further,
my limit of knowledge is , port forward through firewall of local machine (and any a/v software it may be running) inbound, i did outbound too, but i think they are already open outbound ,
port forward through what ever between the computer and anything it uses to connect to the internet (hubs,routers,switches etc )
in my case just a router, so was easy enough

[regal cipher]

Ionic has a good tutorial with scripts explained. For ASE o would use one of the existing provider. Akliz worked fine for me when I had minecraft server.

[distant hearth]

the scripts only help with setting up the server, in this case , the server is up an running.
the issue is no connection due to w.e reason,
likely port forward issues

post the start bat here(copy paste the txt),(blank out or xxxxxx the names an passwords if u want),
might be something simple like a typo in the port numbers (i doubt it though )

[reef nymph]

Thank you!
I will post screens of firewall ports and server bat and router ports tomorrow!

Got called in by wife to put kids to bed 😅

[spare brook]

Question folks - does multihome work for you?
I'm wondering if I've got issues with my configs or if I'm trying to do something that just doesn't work.
Can anyone confirm they have multihome / set IPs working?

[clever quiver]

I am playing a dedicated with 4 friends but rafts seem super bouncy compared to a couple weeks ago. I changed a few platform settings but the raft is under 10 structures still everyone just bounces rapidly. Anyone experienced this or know a fix?

[late estuary]

What does the admin command TacoBell do? Lol

[quiet trellis]

Any way to force settings in a server?
For example I want to force r.VolumetricFog 1, so people don't disable fog

[olive talon]

Not that I am aware of. I know there is a mod to allow users to autorun commands, but not a way to force it.

[loud lotus]

@sharp nebulayeah, they don't really give two shits about customer service being they are pretty much the only hosting service for ASA

[sudden raven]

Anyone know a decent service to rent servers from.

[warm zephyr]

Does anyone know how to get golden hesperornis eggs to stack?

Using beacon and it doesn't seem to be working

[reef nymph]

I got the server working and was able to connect to it 👍
I had to call my ISP and request a public IP. The rest was setup correctly.

Thank you for the help yesterday

[serene ibex]

Uhm is there an option to upgrade my implant with admincheats like if for example just the extencion one

Pleas someone

[tacit ether]

not that i know of.. but you can go into any boss and just redgun it and get the implant

[serene ibex]

Thanks

[mighty bison]

So after making a ticket. And researching everything I can online and even posting in Reddit. I have yet to find or solve an issue with my server regarding extending the platform saddle.

To clarify I am raising the numerical value in the ini. File. I am also doing that after I shut the server off. I have mods like the ceilings-= foundations one. I have remade the raft. I left the line of sight and came back. I got the better rafts mod. I’ve literally tried everything.

[late tapir]

Me and my friends are trying to get a ark server hosted on nitrado to run
We cant get it to show up in the server list and if we try to connected it with steam it just says anw.-id invalid
anyone know what we need to do?
**
for anyone looking this up later
We fixed it by giving the server more time to start up even tho it said on the website it was already started
maybe at most an hour idk**

[wise kindle]

Did you ask the modder if there are ini entries for their mod? Mods can overwrite vanilla settings making your ini changes not work. Might want to ask the creator of the mods you are using.

[mighty bison]

I went on the mods discord and posted this ““Having issues increasing my build limit on ASA (rafts). I’ve tried changing the settings in the ini. Is there something I’m missing?”

I got a warning about black listed words and a mod banned me.

[wise kindle]

Klingers mods?

[mighty bison]

Yes

[wise kindle]

Lmao yeah. So you are sol then. I dont use his mods for this reason. Cant get any support from him.

[distant hearth]

i did reply to you a few days ago,i tested an was working fine on steam version , what is the exact issue you have ?
becuase u will need the ceiling mod to work to go out further, is that mod xplay? i.e works on console?

[wise kindle]

Tbh it’s probably the mod causing his settings to be overwritten.

[distant hearth]

once u get past 3 ceiling tiles on a raft, any raft ,u cannot go out further without that ceiling tile foundation support mod working , it tricks the game into thinking the ceiling tile from the mod is a foundation
then u can use 3 more standard tiles

[mighty bison]

Yes sorry. I couldn’t find you after. And my wife left town and I got busy.

From the research I did adjusting the platform saddle boundaries should allow you to expand much further than the normal 3-4 ceilings.

[distant hearth]

not without using the ceiling tile mod, as the game cannot support more than 3 foundations out

[mighty bison]

I got that mod. Still don’t work.

[distant hearth]

does the mod work on land ?, i mean when i tried it i went out like 18 tiles on a raft

[mighty bison]

I didn’t experiment on land. I only really want it for the raft. But I can try .

[wise kindle]

Wait, what all mods are you using? Maybe there is a conflict.

[distant hearth]

i installed all same mods an it was fine

im thinking that ceiling tile dont work on console

[wise kindle]

Yeah, but is that all of them?

[mighty bison]

Yeah. I don’t have many

I just want my raft a little bigger ☹️

[wise kindle]

Ok I'll assume thats it then.

[mighty bison]

I have to step out. Can I dm you guys later?

[distant hearth]

the only way it can ever work is if you have some sort building mod that does away with foundation support,
im avoiding mods on asa till everything more stable so havent looked into many yet

[distant hearth]

tag me in here, if im awake i usually see it

[cold brook]

Hola fellas not really a server setup problem but I have a player on one of my ASE maps who can't craft anything from blueprints, and can't do craft all or craft # in most crafting stations. We've done the standard things - do they have the required resources, are they using the BP in the right crafting station, etc. All seems normal. One of their tribemates can craft all and craft # as expected from the crafting tables and is able to craft from the blueprints without issue.

Has anyone encountered similar or have any suggestions for resolution? Search results are not helpful particularly for this and I've expended all my server and game knowledge at this point

[grave turret]

I've searched the forum but appears we still don't have a working way to grant admin like ASE did with AllowedCheaterSteamIDs?

[pearl swan]

I can't, for the life of me, remember how to make loot drops so they are consistent every time. Like I had a server where if a player saw a green drop they knew exactly what they would get from it every time because it was always the same. I can't remember how I accomplished that. Any help?

[distant hearth]

you would of edited the loot drops i expect, probably with ark beacon omni

[pearl swan]

Yeah for sure. Just can't remember how to make them consistent every time

[distant hearth]

the only way i know to do that is via custom loot tables , using beacon

[pearl swan]

Yeah there's just a setting that involves set minimums and stuff that ensures they are always the same. When I test them now they do have the items I chose just not the same amount every time.

[clever quiver]

Are rafts more bouncy than a few patches ago? My server only has 4 players and look like they’re on pogo sticks riding rafts. Is there anyway to up the tick rate like a command like -high or -lowmemory?

[cosmic island]

Ok so I'm starting up an unofficial server today, and I jus have a few questions.

So I have beacon downloaded and I already did all the settings for the server, I did see 2 options "import" and "export" so I have a feeling they might come in handy

I have asa downloaded and I'll be buying the server from there, now the question I have, is once I buy the server, how will I be able to add mods and implement the beacon settings onto the server?

[stoic gale]

how do i join my friends singleplayer server in ase? epic to steam

[wise kindle]

Are you in the Beacon discord? They have a great help section and really nice moderators there.

[cosmic island]

I also jus noticed on console, it has 91 tabs of mods, while on pc I have 139, am I able to use pc mods for a cross-platform server?

[wise kindle]

If the mod isnt on console its probably not crossplay.

[cosmic island]

All the mods I wanna add to my server work on console so I'm sure they r fine for crossplay, but idk about all these pc mods that aren't available on console

[cosmic island]

Ah OK, well that kinda sucks

[cosmic island]

No, can u send me a link plz

[wise kindle]

dmd

[stoic gale]

.

[earnest coyote]

Where in settings on nitrado servers can I find where to lock everything smithy/vaults etc. it doesnt give me any options in the game (ase)

[distant hearth]

if there isnt a setting under the general settings for it,
you will need to alter or add this line in the gameusersettings .ini , under the header [serversettings]
ForceAllStructureLocking=True

[mighty bison]

@distant hearth I’m back

@wise kindle I’m back

Let figure this out shall we

Let me pull up my apps
