[peak sapphire]

Good. Because I’ll be getting a significant severance package from my company in a few months. Be sure to see me back here asking questions in late Spring 😅

[distant hearth]

yea my 10mb interwebs made me dig in files an get just what i needed

[frank egret]

jeez thats slow af lol

[distant hearth]

you dont need spend much to get a few servers running

[frank egret]

not at all

[distant hearth]

yep and unstable

[frank egret]

i think i spent maybe $500 on my first one to get thing sgoing

now i got a $6k rack so be careful lol

[peak sapphire]

Here in the UK that money doesn’t go as far

[frank egret]

i wont comment on that lol

used parts is the way to start

the most expensive part of my current setup was memory

mostly cuz one of my machines has 256gb of ecc ddr4

[distant hearth]

im uk too, parts suck in price here 🙂

[frank egret]

rememebr that when it comes voting time is all im gonna say toyall

[modern sandal]

does anyone have a problem where steamcmd only downloads up to the patch that added transfers?

i cant seem to get it to update

[frank egret]

what patch are you on?

[modern sandal]

33.78

[frank egret]

hmm

[modern sandal]

i've deleted the steamapps folder too and it just only installs that version

[distant hearth]

lol i bet ure running the update an the start command all on the same line

[modern sandal]

no?

heres my update script D:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "D:\Ark Ascended Server" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

[distant hearth]

oh dam, i had two people using the start an update on same command so server was starting an not updating, my bad

[frank egret]

let me try and update mine real quick

[distant hearth]

that shsud work just fine

[modern sandal]

yeah, it worked before but all the sudden it wont update

[frank egret]

ive had that issue before just kept runningth eupdate till it took

[distant hearth]

what does it do ? nothing ? or

[frank egret]

if its not updating then its mostlikely just validating files

[modern sandal]

i run it and it just says app is up to date

[distant hearth]

he doesnt have validate in so wont do that , dont think

[frank egret]

validate is automatic if theres no update

[modern sandal]

D:\Ark Ascended Server>D:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "D:\Ark Ascended Server" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930

[frank egret]

i stand corrected lol

could pull your save file, delete the server files and try a fresh install

[modern sandal]

i've tried that before but i could do it again

[distant hearth]

i wud add validate too, we all know how janky ark can be

[frank egret]

yea

[modern sandal]

omg that worked for some reason

thanks

[frank egret]

which thing lol delting or adding validate?

[distant hearth]

ark being ark

[modern sandal]

idk i did both at the same time

[frank egret]

lmao

[distant hearth]

lol eh well , it worked thats wat matters

[hollow rose]

Hey can somebody pls help?
I am trying to host an ASA server on an RDP (Vultr)
and when im followed the guide of Troublechute and Neddy on youtube and I cant see the server on my pc
I forwarded the ports on the windows firewall of the server, the firewall of the server, my own firewall and when looking the server ports it still appears closed the port and query port
but the RCON port is active when I run the server (27020)

[distant hearth]

asa doesnt use a query port, also unless you specify otherwise with -port=xxxx it defaults to port 7777 udp @hollow rose

[deft stone]

i did find it... im stupid... my server was not up to date...

[sonic lance]

Can I get some help with this I've tried running a server on 3 different computers all in different directories thinking it was a permmissions thing but I continuously get this error please help I'm running out of options here if you need more info let me know these are the errors from the "ShooterGame.log"

this line suggests to me it might have an issue with one the mods , im new at this so might be wrong , try making it run without any mods to start with

also make sure is updated

[hollow rose]

I changed it and still doesnt show on my server list, and on the server the port is still closed even after starting the server :l
the command line I use is
start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Asatest2123"?ServerPassword=<pass>?AltSaveDirectoryName=TheIsland?MaxPlayers=70?ServerAdminPassword="2123" -server -log -Port=7777

[distant hearth]

trying compare this to mine, just got update it, internet slow be a while

[sonic lance]

thanks appreciate the help

[distant hearth]

commandline has error in max player count , dont think it wud make it not be seen though ,

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Asatest2123"?ServerPassword=<pass>?AltSaveDirectoryName=TheIsland?ServerAdminPassword="2123" -winlivemaxplayers=70 -port=7777

no need to state the port if your using default 7777 but i left it in incase u want change it later date

[autumn falcon]

Hey all, Anyone here well versed in Linux / Wine ? im trying to get a ASA server running just running into issues, and im kinda new to wine

[distant hearth]

it probably shudnt matter but ark being ark, your not running latest version of the server, try updating it first to see if that helps .
im not sure how the new cosmetic mod thing works with it auto loading to the server

[lunar cloud]

i have it running in Proton which uses wine i believe. If you search GitHub for marcel-dempers you will find my Ark-Docker repo with docker conpose file and readme instructions, the dockerfile shows all the magic how to run in proton

[autumn falcon]

i think i have seen that, ive never used docker, i dont even know what it is , i just stated with linux so im still very green to it XD

I use LSGM to host most of my servers, And The ones that cant i just use wine to launch Windows EXE files, like Enshrouded and conan exiles for example

[lunar cloud]

I messed with wine a lot but ended up with proton as it was much easier to make it work with less dependencies, turned out pretty light weight

[autumn falcon]

The Issue i have been getting into is i made a .sh to launch the server, but the console flashes on then off, assuming like a crash. Im not sure if its a) i got something wrong in the line, b) if only one instance of wine can be open , or c ) I might of installed asa anon , which im wonder if thats causing an issue too. Idk lol

[lunar cloud]

try instead of launching the sh file, paste and run each line individually in a bash terminal so you get some std output. if it opens a window and closes its likely an error and you'll want to figure which line is crashing
You could also pipe it to a file so the results are printed to a file maybe it gives some clues

[hollow rose]

oh didnt know that, thx
but still nothing
it shows on netstat as UDP but no as TCP listening
and when checking on a check port page, the 7777 is closed

[distant hearth]

alot of the port checkers have issues with udp far as i know, im not good with network stuff at all tbh
i used battlemetrics website to search my server an see if there coming up, can take up to 10 mins after they been booted . but if not on there its a port forward issue mostlikely . if the server goes into ticking loop

[lunar cloud]

I have TCP closed on my server, only UDP is used for Ark so netstat command should show listening as UDP and thats good enough. As long as that port can be reached throughout your network stack (from the servers public IP , through any routers \ firewalls all the way to the process) you should be good

[cinder sphinx]

How do I turn on decay for bases unofficial sever pve

[distant hearth]

check if this line is in the gameusersetting.ini
it wud need to be changed to false for decay to happen

bDisableStructureDecayPVE=True

[cinder sphinx]

im using beacon

[distant hearth]

beacon just helps with ini settings , its an excellent tool but you shud really check them imo .

i have beacon an just quickly scrolled through settings an cudnt see the option for it in asa
might be i am not looking in right place though
you can try in beacons own discord i know some people here are in it and are very helpful

[cinder sphinx]

sweet thank you

[zenith stump]

hello here who would have the command line to create the cluster please thank you

[distant hearth]

nitrado server?

[zenith stump]

yes

[distant hearth]

you dont,
it has to be done in there ui, they havent sorted that out yet, shud have a notification about it, be next week i think it said

[zenith stump]

ah damn and you have a better option than nitrado for the servers?

[distant hearth]

well there is other ways , but have to host own either on your own pc/server or rent server space an manually install the server files etc . google will give u a start if u really interested in not using nitrado
takes a bit time an effort to sus it out

[zenith stump]

ok I thank you because on my server I only have 10 small mods and x10 farm and my server has 900 ping...

[distant hearth]

somehing very wrong with that or your internet or the location of server

[zenith stump]

the server and host closest to me (Germany we are French) I find that nitrado and really overrated

[distant hearth]

yea u shud get good connection there, im in uk an get like 60-80 on the german ones

[zenith stump]

us when we exceed 10 players online and sometimes less! we have ping at 800/900 lol

[distant hearth]

i would contact there support an complain , that is terrible

[zenith stump]

I've already done it he told me these because of the mods x) so I deleted everything except the smallest ones and that doesn't change anything I'm frustrated to see this kind of customer service

648.11 MiB / 10.00 GiB (6.33 %) lol

[humble thicket]

Hello, I cannot activate the cross server on the pterodactyl panel, I cannot create a shared file between two different cards which retrieve my character's saves via the command
-ClusterDirOverride=
I'm willing to pay for help, I spent all day yesterday trying

[jaunty vortex]

not sure how ping is calculated. it tells me my ping is 80 to my own dedicated server. it’s about 1metre physically from the PC i am playing on 🙄

[distant hearth]

i dont really know how works, networking is like black magic an voodoo to me .
let alone the display it gives in game must be some sort average i guess

[shell flume]

i can ship computer parts, i am from pakistan, used computer parts are dirt cheap here

what is this scam?

[jaunty vortex]

it should be the time it takes for a packet of data to go from you to your server. i suspect the figure being used is the time from Studio Wildcard’s server to the host.

When i play Minecraft, hosted on the same PC, it tells me the ping time is about 5ms

[distant hearth]

unless you switch battleye off , does it not have go through there server somehow then back ?

[jaunty vortex]

i’m playing without battle eye. it’s a private server. so i don’t know.

[distant hearth]

yea idk either , i shud test that if i rem tbh , or learn how network shit works lolz

[humble thicket]

you don't have an idea for my problem, you seem to know something about it

[distant hearth]

i know nothing much about linux or dockers
all i do know is u will need to somehow create a shared cluster directory for each server to save its data
maybe something about mounting a directory?

sorry i really cant help more than that

[humble thicket]

I created one at the root of the dedicate, another in the servers directly and I tested so many other things that I couldn't list them, I'm sure it's a small problem, nothing at all but I can't find the solution, thanks anyway

[distant hearth]

yea sorry , post your problem again as im sure theres someone in this discord will help as many do use linux , good luck

[humble thicket]

[glass bough]

I'm running into issues banning an Epic player. I have their player ID but their Steam ID comes back as zero (0). I can't find a way to filter the binary *.arkprofile files to find any extra information, and Google isn't really helping.

I just want to add this player to my banlist. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[opal needle]

Has anyone set up a cluster with a mod map with the island and successfully transferred a character? I can cluster island to island but a mod map isn't working for me.

[gilded terrace]

U guys ever had any issues with a tribes base just randomly disappearing? Like nothing in tribe logs nothing to do with admins, Dino’s that are out still out but everything else just gone

[still thunder]

krampus skin still isn't in the main game right?

[vital linden]

Yes. I clustered The Island and Svartalfheim.

[elfin citrus]

I have moro rex/raptor mod is it possible to put it on passive to be able and keep the rex , but not create them from the mod or spawn in the world.

[river tinsel]

do you guys have the issue with the Dragon being invisible randomly in his arena ?

[finite inlet]

Is crossark on nitrado yet

Please @me if anybody has info please 🙂

[vital linden]

No. Nitrado announced they would test this "new functionality" for a week before giving access to it. Player Servers (a.k.a. dedicated servers) can use it already.

[sacred kestrel]

We just had a players base disappear the other day. Have no idea why

[gilded terrace]

Yea same thing happened here that’s why I’m confused

[sacred kestrel]

Yeah. it was most likely a game glitch

[deft stone]

can i recommand not having space into the path of your server, like ASAServer it will help later on

[deft stone]

alot of people have the problem 😦

[west elbow]

i made an cluster between island and svartalfheim and i put svartalfheim mod and bouth maps but every time i transfer i lose my tribe

[vital linden]

There is an issue with tribe loss, but it doesn't happen 100% of the time. Make sure tribe name is same on both.

[west elbow]

yes, it is the same on both maps

[last night]

UP

[fringe stump]

anyone else had ascension problems on a self hosted server with transfers setup

greeted with an empty download character screen for all players

that said transferring working fine but not ascension :?

[mental narwhal]

Hello is there a way to use “simple performance mod” on a unofficial server or is it only for single player?

[wise kindle]

Neither is working fine.

[wise kindle]

Thats a question for that specific modders discord tbh.

[mental narwhal]

Ok

[late estuary]

If you read the description it's just a long series of graphical adjustments that can be done within the console. Try them out yourself and see what you think.

[mental narwhal]

I know how to do mods but it’s all clumped up, I’m only used to doing 4 mods

[late estuary]

The mod is just a bunch of commands you can run yourself, like r.volumetriccloud 0.

[simple ledge]

I've got this cofig setting for StackSizes because I'm trying to set Honey, Prime meat, and the like to a stack size of 20 instead of each their own slot. But my cofig doesn't seem to actually take when I start the server.

In my Game.ini I've got under the [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] section of the file, at the bottom of all configurations I have this setting (once at the moment but it will have to become multiple items)
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20, bIgnoreMultiplier=False))

Am I doing something wrong?
Adding multiple doesn't seem to take more or less, it just stays at default values

[humble thicket]

Hey 🙂

What do I have to enter in the GUS.ini to allow the download?

PreventDownloadSurvivors=true
PreventDownloadItems=true
PreventDownloadDinos=true

or

PreventDownloadSurvivors=false
PreventDownloadItems=false
PreventDownloadDinos=false

unfortunately does not work

[steep pawn]

so nothing this month

[wise kindle]

Notributesdownload=false may be required as well.

[steep pawn]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20,bIgnoreMultiplier=False))

no space when doing code

[simple ledge]

Ah, fair enough. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!!

And I can just add more of the same for multiple items?

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...
```?

[steep pawn]

ive got a 8k code on stacking

[simple ledge]

dayum

[steep pawn]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=...

[olive talon]

https://pastebin.com/0sVVqdTT

[steep pawn]

for each item you want to override easy way is to have it typed out and copy and paste items

[simple ledge]

Yeh, alright. Thanks!
All I needed was the Prime meat, Prime Fish Meat, Mutton, and Honey 😅

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20,bIgnoreMultiplier=False))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="RawPrimeMeat_Fish",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20,bIgnoreMultiplier=False))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="RawMutton",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20,bIgnoreMultiplier=False))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="Honey",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=20,bIgnoreMultiplier=False))

Right?

[steep pawn]

looks good

[simple ledge]

Awesome thanks!

[gaunt haven]

hey can someone help me with some save files and singleplayer saves? my character got deleted (once again) switching arks on singleplayer and wondering if i can save my character after completing alpha overseer
i was going from rag to aberration
please feel free to dm if you know what youre doing thank you
im on ase 🥲

[simple ledge]

I just updated the Game.ini according to this, then restarted the server. Had a 3 minute Rollback of the server, but no chage whatsoever... wtf?

[floral apex]

Does anyone know how to put ark additions saddles in drops?

[bleak ivy]

your item class strings are wrong.
PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C
PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C
PrimalItemConsumable_Honey_C

just a heads up that mutton seems to be having issues.

[simple ledge]

The Raw Fish Meat is good?

Or should be PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C?

[bleak ivy]

PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C sorry didn't see that one

[simple ledge]

Thanks

[slate bridge]

anyone got the the ark custom cosmetics to work yet ?

[late estuary]

Yes but the way they implemented them on console is ridiculous. We don't get a menu. We have to spawn each item on the list till we get what we want. There are hundreds of cosmetics. And every time you change it, it goes to a different spot in your inventory if you carry dyes

[leaden cedar]

Hello, one of my players is having an issue; he can no longer use his inventory. Regardless of whether it's a chest or his own inventory, nothing gets added when he picks up items. Additionally, he can't see anything at all. He is the only one on my server experiencing this issue. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

[hollow rose]

well, couldnt make it work but I followed a guide to run the server on linux and it worked there lol

[humble thicket]

Many THX 😄
That was it 😄

[opal needle]

Thanks for the info, I'll have to try a different map and see if it works. Were you using just the -clusterid and -clusterdiroverride

[vital linden]

Yes

[frail ferry]

anyone have a variant of /defeatboss commands that work on asa?

[limpid glen]

Does giveallbosses not work?

[shell ice]

anyone have a way to cluster servers yet? I have a server that's been getting a little to populated and I wanted to cluster another one to it so we have two maps to work with

[distant hearth]

, see the pinned messages in this channel

[shell ice]

does that work for ASA?

[distant hearth]

does what work ?

[shell ice]

the link you posted yesterday, I see it was posted in 2016 🤣

[distant hearth]

oh right sry , yea same process, just depends how you have the two servers setup

[shell ice]

got it thank you so much

[frail ferry]

it gives the upgraded implant for all fights through all expansions, but unlocks nothing

[meager fox]

Im trying to edit the stacking amount for element shards but it doesn't matter what i do i can't get it to where i want it to be
can anyone help me through this problem?

[distant hearth]

what code u using?

[meager fox]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString=“PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C”,Quantity=(MaxItemQuanity=1500,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[distant hearth]

looks correct to me making it stack to 1500

[meager fox]

right now for some reason its stacking at 250000

[distant hearth]

thats weird, like its not using the ignore multiplier part

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1500,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

i pulled the code from beacon to double check

looks fine, maybe try stopping the server , repaste the line in game ini , save it an try again .
if your on a nitrado server wait 5 mins after stopping it to make any changes

[meager fox]

ill try your code just incase theres a letter that i dont see that i missed input

[distant hearth]

just remeber any stacks already in game will stay that size till you break them down

[meager fox]

right

crossing my fingers

[meager fox]

I just did the command to spawn it in and still stacks up to 250000

[distant hearth]

ermm, double check you dont have a duplicate line in the ini , copy paste it to a txt file an search , only other thing i can think of

[meager fox]

just did ctrl +F and there is only one line that uses elementshard

this is so weird

im also banned in nitrado discrod server for some reason lol i never texted in that discord

[distant hearth]

i have no clue then , maybe a bug or something. what happens if you remove the line altogther ? what stack size you get then ?

[meager fox]

ill check

[meager fox]

250000 lol

[distant hearth]

send me a copy of the ini , i will triple check it for you . other wise it must be a bug , presuming your shutting down the server , waiting 5 mins, changing the ini, saving it . wait a minute, restart server

[meager fox]

im getting rid of a stacking mod that i added and see where im at with elementshards stacking

i was still able to adjust everything else even with the mod but thats the only thing i haven't tried yet

[distant hearth]

oh lol, if you have a stacking mod it over rides anything the in the ini

usually the mod will change the item classes as they adjust the weight of them too

i dislike stacking mods, my advice, dump it , use the global stacking multiplier for most stuff, then add the custom stuff like prime meat etc seperate,
then change the dino an per player level multiplier to suit the amount you stack

[meager fox]

Bro ive been stuck on this for HOURS!!!

it was the stacking mod

[distant hearth]

yea i despise them

plus if they ever break, poof all items gone

[meager fox]

true i didn't even think about that lol

[wise kindle]

This looks like a dedi box number.

[lavish current]

i am trying to setup a server for the first time, i have it running on my pc. i can see the server on my xbox under unofficial, but when i try to join, i get Join Failed. Connection Timeout after about 30 seconds of it trying to join. on my pc i have udp and tcp ports open for inbound and output rules under the firewall for ports 7777, 7778, 27015. i am launching the server with just the value for SessionName, and the -mods=927084 and -ServerPlatform=ALL in the command line. any ideas on what could be wrong?

[distant hearth]

u only need the udp port open, u will also need to allow it through your router or what ever is between server an internet

[lavish current]

Thanks! 👍

[distant hearth]

np also -serverplatform=all isnt needed they default to that

if u want to change the server port use -port=xxxx
asa uses only a udp port an defaults to 7777 for the first one running

if you get into using rcon an stuff, thats tcp port i believe , but just to make it run an be able join its the one udp that u set or the default

[frail ferry]

Is center still on for this month?

[ivory sail]

is it possible to make a dedi server for pc and xbox?

[distant hearth]

asa yes full crossplay
ase-only microsoft store and xbox

[ivory sail]

oh ok thanks for the ibfo

info

[lilac palm]

Anyone else not being able to use the clear glass wall on thier server? Can do the sofa etc but clear glass wall is not showing as an optionwhen applying the cosmetics, is there a known issue/fix?
(btw works on my single player but not on my server)

[naive panther]

do servers still update mods on startup? on our cluster the love evolved mod is out of date and restarting does not fix it

[jaunty vortex]

that’s because there is not a newer version on Curseforge.

[naive panther]

so there is a newer version but not available on curseforge?

cause my client got a newer version

I uninstalled my mod locally and reinstalled it. Then I checked my servers join page and it said "Installed". While joining it still installed the mod, joined the server and after disconnecting it shows the mod to be out of date again

[wise kindle]

Clear glass does not work in pvp mode.

[main trail]

any news on onofficial transfers ?

[naive panther]

it is released

did not test it yet though

[main trail]

not from nitrado ?

[wise kindle]

Not from Nitrado, no.

See pins.

[main trail]

ah yes thank you very much

[normal canyon]

Is anybody else losing wheir character when transfering on unofficial server.

[wise kindle]

You and a couple thousand others. Known bug. Dont try to transfer again till its fixed. If it ate one character it will eat more.

[normal canyon]

ok thanks

[past dust]

Is there a command to force the server to redownload mods?

[celest halo]

- Fixed an exploit
- Fixed a crash
- Added admin server command "RedownloadModsOnServerRestart"

<@&735187057231790152>```

[past dust]

Thanks. I thought they added it but was having trouble finding it.

Is that an in game console command?

[celest halo]

Not sure never tried it, but by them saying admin server command I would think it's a in-game console command

[round creek]

What do we want cluster IDs when do we want it…. Last month!

We want cluster IDs please stop robbing me! 🪧

[distant hearth]

wc have released the info, if your on nitrado, then try your protest in there discord

[round creek]

They released how to do it… but they didn’t enable you to do it… Nitrado banned me because I asked for the info 😂😂😂

[distant hearth]

its enabled , just nitrado dragging there heels, non nitrado servers can cluster

[round creek]

Well I mean I did try to show the moderator how to answer a question quite politely

Oh so Nitrado robbing us now. These companies really just taking turns bending us over

[distant hearth]

see pinned messages in this channel

[round creek]

You mean the clusterid= [Clustername] I mean Nitrado said it’s WC stopping it

Well that’s what “Al” tried to say before he banned me for telling him to give me an answer cheaper to buy a server rack at this point

[empty peak]

cheaper to buy a rack lol

[round creek]

ASE was ok with Nitrado this is beyond a joke 😪 can’t promise anything or plan anything for your player base at all

[empty peak]

I mean Nitrado could just put it out untested but it looks like they are doing there due diligence by testing the feature

[round creek]

Hey guys stay on this one map with no auto decay for 3 months and try not to kill it pls k Ty

They told me WC are doing the testing

[empty peak]

how long ago ?

[round creek]

Wasn’t that WC announcement on Friday?

Here’s how to do it. It’s possible on this update we are testing it

When I went to clarify on Nitrado he called me illiterate but never answered so I’m in the dark

[empty peak]

wc put it on offical servers first for the testing

[round creek]

Apparently I get my ini off google 😂

Want to punch that fat cnt Al I’m the head tbh

Bro can’t even answer people on Nitrado asking simple questions has no clue

[empty peak]

well if you read the statement from them ?

[round creek]

Are you talking about WC update from Friday?

Like I say went to Nitrado for clarification and got nothing but shit talk

[empty peak]

read the pinned message in this channel

[round creek]

Can’t power cut on my phone atm can’t find it for the life of me copy paste pls

[empty peak]

this

[round creek]

That stack size

Oh now I got it. Yeah but read between the lines that’s what I asked for clarification

[empty peak]

what lines lol

[round creek]

Ok so al on Nitrado told me WC was testing it

[deft stone]

this is problably a command you execute directly on the server (there is a smale icon in the right corner you must push to have acces to the command line in the server windows)

[round creek]

Nevermind I see what your saying I guess Nitrado mods trolling me 😂

That Al guy should’ve been a crusty sock I swear

[empty peak]

before that patch WC was testing it

[past dust]

Is there any prefix? Or do I just type the command?

[round creek]

Yeah so I went to Nitrado to clarify that post he started kicking off at how it’s WC not Nitrado and I’m an idiot

Just stupid tbh such basic shit these 3 companies are flopping on so hard. They get way to extra .

3 months and the one map they release barely functions

[deft stone]

for saving i type cheat doexit, so its possible you need to type cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart

just thinking if you want your server to update mod on each restart there is a command line option -AutomanagedMods

the RedownloadModsOnServerRestart dont work on my side

[celest halo]

That option don't work with ASA

[deft stone]

No need to update existing mod: Clean Glass Wall (Sample) (972253)
No need to update existing mod: Custom Dino Levels (928708)
No need to update existing mod: Love Ascended (927084)
Mod valid: Clean Glass Wall (Sample) (972253)
Mod valid: Custom Dino Levels (928708)
Mod valid: Love Ascended (927084)
it does it by himself?

[distant hearth]

yea it auto checks if the mods are uptodate on server start an downloads update if needs to

[celest halo]

Yes it auto checks for updates on its own

[distant hearth]

to just save , use cheat saveworld
doexit will save an shutdown server

[celest halo]

Redownloadmodsonstart is not to update them it's to have the server do a full redownload on the mods

[deft stone]

yes but it do nothing on my side

[distant hearth]

it will force a full download of the mods on next server start

[deft stone]

nothing if i have to redownload i will juste delete the \Servers\servernamehere\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\Mods folder

[distant hearth]

yea that works just as easy

[tardy pine]

Anyone having issues where transferred players are renamed to "player"?

[oak jolt]

Can anyone help me setup a sever so we and my friend can play in it

[latent finch]

does anyone know how to setup a cluster on Nitrado? there's no crossark page like there was on evolved and i tried adding a cluster ID and have had no success. not sure what it is im doing wrong

[latent finch]

thank you

[tardy pine]

What are you needing?

@distant hearth char gone, servers have been running 24/7

Bug Report: Unable to Join Nitrado Server on Xbox Cloud Gaming

Description:
When attempting to join my hosted Nitrado server for the game Ark survival evolved on Xbox Cloud Gaming, I consistently encounter an error message stating "Server notification: Could not retrieve address." This issue persists despite various troubleshooting attempts. Interestingly, my friends who are using Game Pass on Windows PC can successfully join the server, indicating that the problem may be specific to my setup, dedicated and non dedicated servers are working fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
Launch the Ark survival evolved game on Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Attempt to join the hosted Nitrado server.
Encounter the error message "Server notification: Could not retrieve address."
Retry joining after performing the following steps:
a. Close the game and allow sufficient time for all processes to load properly.
b. Reboot the MacBook Pro M2 2022 and close all running applications.
c. Test single-player mode, which works without issues.
d. Attempt to reconnect to the server, only to receive the same error message.
Test different web browsers including MS Edge, MS Canary, Safari, and Chrome.
Experiment with MS Edge and Edge Canary to determine if the browser choice affects server connectivity.
Observe that while friends using MS Windows Game Pass can join the Nitrado server successfully, I am consistently met with the error message, indicating a platform-specific issue.
Confirm that joining unofficial PC sessions on Ark survival evolved is not possible due to the encountered error, although playing on a player-dedicated server is feasible and functional.

Additional Information:
Platform: Xbox Cloud Gaming
Device: MacBook Pro M2 2022
Despite extensive troubleshooting and testing across different browsers, the issue persists, suggesting a potential compatibility or configuration issue specific to the Xbox Cloud Gaming environment on macOS.
Friends using Game Pass on Windows PC can join the Nitrado server without encountering any errors, indicating that the server itself is operational and accessible to other platforms.
This issue obstructs the ability to participate in multiplayer sessions, limiting gameplay options and potentially impacting the overall gaming experience for affected users.

[wise kindle]

Anyone know anything about Macs? I havent ran one since 1995 tbh so I have no experience.

[wise kindle]

Have you joined an unofficial with that OS before. Often the platform has to be identical with the ASE version. So the server would need to be hosted by the same platform. Im not entirely sure you can play a steam hosted map with a mac.

[civic kestrel]

It isnt a steam hosted version. It is hosted for the Xbox one

I am the one of the Friends of Klets btw, the one that hosts the server by Nitrado

[wise kindle]

Thats still a version mismatch in ASE. ASE isnt crossplay.

[civic kestrel]

But he isnt playing on the mac version of Ark but via Xbox game pass Ultimate via cloud gaming

Is that still a mismatch than? since it is also xbox and not mac

We have already played quite some hours on a Non dedicated server, but switching to unoofical pc version seems to break it for Klets

[wise kindle]

Might be, the cloud really isnt the version as far as I know, its just a means to connect. Win10 can use it cus it supports Win10 and Xbox and is considered the same platform. Cloud on a mac might not work the same.

Non dedi is VERY different from unofficial.

[shadow urchin]

why is it VERY different?

[wise kindle]

Its a completely different mode.

Its hosted client to client not host to client.

Tbh this is the first time Ive ever seen someone try to connect this way.

[shadow urchin]

oke, we have an xbox one server

[civic kestrel]

I just logged in into his xbox game pass to start the game via cloud gaming on my windows pc and had the same issue. So that means that it isnt a Mac OS issue but a Xbox cloud gaming issue

I am out of ideas atm on how to fix this, got any?

[wise kindle]

I unfortunately dont use the cloud service and ASE isnt really supported anymore. I have no idea.

[civic kestrel]

Okay, thanks for trying anyways:)

[shadow urchin]

is it an Ark issue or a Nitrado issue?

[hazy silo]

might be best to join a cluster that's already configured

[wise kindle]

I have a large playerbase that used cloud daily but I no longer run ASE maps. I dont think its Nitrado but I dont know for sure. The game has had issues before, I dont know what the current ASE issues are atm.

This is all on the old version with a corner case connection method. It could be alot of things.

Make sure the map is up to date is all I can think of.

[shadow urchin]

so basicly i need to buy an xbox or an pc

[wise kindle]

Wait one sec.

[shadow urchin]

i am on version 962.6 an the server is on 962.2

[wise kindle]

Ah nvm i keep forgetting this is ASE.

Yeah I got nothing.

[shadow urchin]

yes bc asa cant go with xbox cloud

[shadow urchin]

this isnt an issue/

[marsh elm]

Anyone able to give me some help I’ve just started using beacon and set all engrams to auto unlock except tek when leveling but after doing a boss fight no tek has unlocked any ideas ?

[humble thicket]

When is single player getting fixed???

[wise kindle]

Which fight?

[wise kindle]

#bobs-with-probs

[marsh elm]

Brood

[wise kindle]

Thats odd. Kill your character or bed hop to refresh it. You still cant craft tek in a replicator?

[marsh elm]

I’ll try

[wise kindle]

Use the obelisk to craft your replicator then give it a try.

[rose dune]

Yo

[faint pebble]

If you are in admin you can complete the boss fights but get no engrams from it

[grave turret]

is anyone getting the server clusters to work? Mine shows the transfer, but when I "arrive" at the next server it forces me to create a new character and my old character is lost

[distant hearth]

if your running the two servers out of seperate folders you will need to make a common folder an point them both to it using -clusterdiroverride= pointing at where the folder you make is

theres a guide in the pinned comments

[grave turret]

did that -- file shows up in the folder too

[distant hearth]

no idea then , its buggy asf at minute, lost char, deleted char, removing from tribe etc etc

double check u dont have anything blocking downloads in the start command or the ini ,
notributedownloads=true
will block it

[grave turret]

yeah...I think it probably is the bugz -- go notributedownloads=true allowing the uploads/downloads -- got the filtering on -- made sure the permissions in the directory are good. I think at this point I need an overnight think session, but thank you

[distant hearth]

this blocks it completely , remove it or set it false
notributedownloads=true

[round birch]

@presidentpuss @grave turret @grave turret @grave turret

[grave turret]

I thought it has to be true

else it allows copying to other servers

[distant hearth]

read the line it blocks it , -notransferfromfiltering stops outsside transfers

no tribute downloads

remove or set false to allow downloads

[grave turret]

trying now

[round birch]

Agree withw1llz123. I had this issue as well.. I also call. -multihome= server Ip. That and the shared save folder sorted for me. I also made sure all the uploads and download options were set in game user. Ini

On the 4 maps

[distant hearth]

if i understand it right, multihome is used if you have differnt ip adresses for each server?

[round birch]

U could poss b right. I used that under ase where I used my nas as the backup folder.. But set it in asa on each map so it does not get confused... I poss could remove multihome as I really believe my issue was the clusteroverride

[distant hearth]

ah well if it works it works lol
half the trouble is there ass backwards coding to me ,
like why wudnt the notributedownlaods just be tributedownloads ,true/false lol
im not a coder but if thats an example of what they have deal with no wonder shit gets messed up easy

[grave turret]

well, I got further, now I have a download character screen -- just no characters listed - Going to hit the rack and attack it in the morning. Thank you

[round birch]

U r altering the. Ini file with the server shut down aren't you?

[distant hearth]

gl an post back if you dont figure it out , id check your other filters are correct too

[lunar cloud]

Or IsNotributedownlaodsNotEnabled=true 😁

[grave turret]

I had a bourbon instead of sleep -- found I needed to do a bind mount vice symbolic links since the servers are in different folders. It works now. Thanks

[wise kindle]

Sooo the solution was bourbon. Now we know.

[grave turret]

exactly!

[twilit knot]

Still having issue with cluster, sometime .profile never reach the new server :/ maybe 5 to 10% of transfert end up with character lost....

[blissful trout]

Can we cluster with Nitrado servers yet?

[tepid berry]

So they release a "minor patch" without pushing it to steam and then ping the entire steam role? :[ -- I guess I'll try again 8 hours from now...

[spring cairn]

Looks like Nitrado reset the [ServerSettings] section without my consent. So need to restore a backup.

Has this affected anyone else?

[spring cairn]

My players were complaining saying they couldn't see the server, the GameUserSettings.ini file has been reset, and thus the passwords and server name were too. So have to rollback and it's impossible to know who has joined since.

[rain wolf]

Hi, I have a question. When will The Center map for my Nitrado server be a mod?

[quaint stag]

Hi, I've had a problem since yesterday joining an unofficial server, a message pops up lost connection Time out host. Xbox does anyone have any solutions.... There was a hard reset of the console, internet reinstall ark mod nothing helps

Ark survival ascended??

[olive talon]

Center hasn't released yet.

[rain wolf]

Ok but will it be a mod? for my Nitrado server?

[olive talon]

They have no given any info, but it should be a map, since it is a DLC.

[raven wigeon]

is it safe to remove the valentines event, coz its so crappy!!! lol those love bugs are annoying!

[vital linden]

Not until they announce the mod files are part of the of core game files, but you could use their disable parameters they announced for Winter Wonderland, since it took them forever to add to core game files.

Otherwise you lose crafted holiday items.

[shell flume]

when i type cheat saveworld in console of dedicated server, it does nothing

or its supposed to be like this and give no response

[fallow moon]

Are waiting on wc or nitrado for the premium mods of console?

[olive talon]

I'm a volunteer for the discord. I do not know.

[fallow moon]

Ahh you are I do apologise

[hollow shell]

having the same problem

[quaint stag]

Any solutions?

[hollow shell]

normally a hard restart fixes the problem but not this time

[hollow shell]

lmk if you find a fix

[quaint stag]

👌

[solar tundra]

When will transfers be available on Xbox/PlayStation?

[simple thorn]

Im having probs my self i can see my servers at the obs but it will not let me upload at all, all setting are set right just says try again later. god i love Wildcard sometimes

has anyone got the cross ark to work on deli servers yet?

[distant hearth]

yea loads people got it working ,if you run the servers out of seperate folders/directories you will need to make a shared folder for them , see pinned messages in this channel second one down has a link for how to do it

[untold turtle]

Just to clarify we only need to make it a passive mod until they integrate the files? Once they are in we can straight up remove the mod without losing things?

[vital linden]

That's how they explained it for Winter Wonderland. I never made it passive, but it makes sense.

[untold turtle]

Yea the general consensus for our server is to keep it up until they add the files in. I may give it a day or two after that before I remove the mod with how buggy things have been 😂 Just wanted to make sure I didn't have to keep it in the passive list after that (Our server wasn't up for the winter event).

[vital linden]

Once they said the files were in, I removed the mod entirely and created items remain still. My holiday lights and tree are still up in my base.

[simple ledge]

I'm trying to turn off cryosickness and the debuff you get from cryopods in my server. I've tried so many combinations of settings, and now I'm trying another one. But I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
In my GameUserSettings.ini I have the [ServerSettings] section and all the way at the bottom I have these four settings. (Looking back I have PvE set to 0)

EnableCryoSicknessPVE=false
EnableCryopodNerf=false
CryopodNerfDuration=0
CryopodNerfDamageMult=1
CryopodNerfIncomingDamageMultPercent=0

This is my current attempt at trying to fix the cryopod stuff. But if someone can help either verify that this one will work, or another setting that should do it. Please help 😅

[distant hearth]

EnableCryoSicknessPVE=false
EnableCryopodNerf=false

its these two

[simple ledge]

fair enough. Thanks!

[deft stone]

in pve its faisable, in pvp its not 😭

[distant hearth]

yea pvp you wud have to use a mod

[simple ledge]

So in PvP there's no escaping the Cryo stuff?

[deft stone]

the cryo sickness no, but you can disable the required fridge

[simple ledge]

I'm talking Ark Evolved, not Ascended 😅

[deft stone]

good

[simple ledge]

I'm staying away from Ascended lol

[deft stone]

same use the mod : Cryo Sickness Protection

[simple ledge]

I'll just set PvE back on 😅

[deft stone]

you cant kill babies on PvE ... take a look at the mod its realy cool (and missing from ASA)

the mod just craft one item that disable/enable cryo sickness

[simple ledge]

I have S+, I can kill any dino (including babies) on PvE 😁

I have always done it without mods tho...
I've always had a list of mods that I use.
S+, Automated Ark (all 7 of em), Upgrade My Dino, MindWipe my Dino, Best Eggs, and Kibble Station (and maybe NeverBreak)

these ID's
731604991,2007400172,2007418454,2007411835,2007430597,2007441758,2007447056,2007461356,751991809,2128782723,1961542614,1535453399,719928795,1364327869,821530042,1657570103,1931415003

[deft stone]

yes i understand, i use like 3 mods and this is one 🙂

[simple ledge]

fair enough

thanks for the help tho

[deft stone]

modid:1971287279

take a look at it you will not regret

[simple ledge]

thanks tho!

[grave turret]

Mine are working now -- I don't know DELI servers, but I'm running three using docker-compose on Linux -- kind of a difficult setup, but it is working great

[humble thicket]

how can i lower the meat harvested from a dead dino? when i harvest using the Alpha hatchet i get kicked from the server, i have my harvest at 10x, it was 25x, then 15x and now 10x which is good for the resources using the Alpha pick (btw im using the Primal Chaos mod) but when i use the pike or hatchet Alpha i get kicked, i dont want to lower the resources any more and remember changing something on my main server but i forgot what is was cause i run a boosted server, was a 50x but with asa certain things make you crash when you harvest at high rates so now its 25x but the harvesting dinos was still kicking us but now i can not remember what it was i changed

[distant hearth]

you can try using this line in the gameusersetting.ini , i think it shud help your issue

UseOptimizedHarvestingHealth=True

i think it will be looking for a 24 hr time stamp, so 12.00 or 12.01 , if u want just pve though there shud be a setting that you tick to enable pve (i havent seen asa nitrado options page so not certain)

[finite inlet]

Any news on nitrado transfers 🙂 please @ me if you can help 🙂

[deft stone]

look a the pined message you will have your answer

[finite inlet]

How do I do that lol

Done

Ty still the same bs

[deft stone]

yes they said a week its been 4 days...

[normal canyon]

Does anybody know if they are going to fix transfers on unofficial my character profile keeps getting deleted after I log back in after in transfer to another server in my cluster or is that not a thing.

[gaunt schooner]

If one wanted to take a break from ARK for a bit, but save the world on their dedi server. What all files would need to be saved?

[deft stone]

\Servers\ServerName\ShooterGame\Saved

this folder have the config and the savegame

[fierce edge]

Hey everyone I was just wondering what settings do you all have on your single player I just can't get my mating and imprinting right I want them all to be quick but for some reason I'm getting like 7 hours to wait on mating and imprinting like 30 40 mins this is really frustrating

[severe bison]

is there a cap of armor saddles and weapons? and lvl cap for my dinos?

On unofficial server ofc a dedi server

[peak sapphire]

Make sure bAutoPvETimer is set to false (unticked) then put a value of 1 in both the AutoPvEStartTimeSeconds and AutoPvEStopTimeSeconds options and this should resolve your issue.

[fallen sundial]

Hello Guy i am wondering if it s possible to édit the the island map to make our own cave and if it still the the island map when people looking for your

Server*

[peak sapphire]

Weapons cap around 755 and saddles cap around 356 or something (can’t remember the exact number but it’s around that figure).

[severe bison]

on unoffi? bc on official its way lower

[peak sapphire]

Official uses a separate setting to cap the figures

[distant hearth]

officials run code to clamp item stats lower

[severe bison]

ah okey so your number should count to my server? i didn't do any changes

[peak sapphire]

By default it will reach the hard cap at around the numbers I gave above without you enabling anything.

[severe bison]

Alright thank you very much!

[peak sapphire]

For further reading just in case you were curious https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#ItemStatClamps

[severe bison]

Alright thank you!

That thing looks so big lol there are so many commands

[peak sapphire]

I usually refer to the wiki’s server config page to increase my understanding of specific settings. Very useful resource to learn from.

[severe bison]

i really never used that side bc it confuses me since there are so many commands and things i don't understand

[deft stone]

BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.001041667
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=100
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=500
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=250
LayEggIntervalMultiplier=25
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.00025
MatingSpeedMultiplier=25
PassiveTameIntervalMultiplier=0.25
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.5
TamingSpeedMultiplier=10

[wise kindle]

No this requires creating a map mod with the dev kit and submitting it to Curseforge for approval. If you would like more information, install the dev kit and follow the youtube tutorials on how to create Ark mods. Its no small feat as map mods take months to develop.

[deft stone]

I use a program called Beacon to get those number. you can use it to evalute something that will fit your needs but those setting give a mating inteval of 2min, and a full grown 2min with 1 imprint (100%)

[fierce edge]

Thank you so much x

[hazy solstice]

does anyone have an issue with dinos not laying eggs? I have tried everything from adjusting rates, staying next to my dinos, moving ovi around.. no dinos are dropping eggs and I am at a loss at this rate

[river breach]

does the ability or need to set cluster override dir still exist?

[deft stone]

yes

[river breach]

How would I do it? Same command in the launch args?

[deft stone]

yes

-ClusterDirOverride=path

[river breach]

Thanks!

[vague sparrow]

my server has been stuck in a restart loop for the past 5 hours what is going on? it keeps installing new updates and i cant stop it.

it was fine before love ascended but its just nonfunctional now

[wise kindle]

Try to get it stopped and roll back to a save point before the machine started rolling.

[vague sparrow]

alright

[wise kindle]

You nay need to try several of them to find a good one.

[vague sparrow]

might need to wipe honestly as there arent too many people yet and nobody has really started

will it wipe my configurations?

[wise kindle]

The reinstall will wipe everything - its like you just put up the map.

[vague sparrow]

alright. can i paste the file settings back in

[wise kindle]

Yes.

[vague sparrow]

alright. ill do that im lucky since not many peopel are on my server

[wise kindle]

Make sure that you wait for at least 20 before you touch it tho. It needs to run some scripts and restart a couple times to finish. If you interrupt it, it wont run well.

[vague sparrow]

thanks

[vague sparrow]

i think i may need to contact nitrado support. I reinstalled it and im just watching it as its restarting and shutting down every minute. unless that is supposed to happen during a reinstall. its restarted around 15 times now and has said "server installation is running" around 15 as well

[wise kindle]

Leave it alone for a full 20 minutes at least.

[vague sparrow]

alright. ill check back in 20

[olive talon]

I usually give it 30 minutes to an hour before panicking

[wise kindle]

I have had them take a bit longer but just leave it till its done.

[olive talon]

Nitrado loops are weird

[wise kindle]

Ive never had a reinstall go bad either. That works 100% of the time.

[olive talon]

I don't think I have either

[unborn jetty]

Quick question, how do i remove an event mod but keep the cosmic items people earn from it, i recall a post about this and it involved a second variable but i cant find it

[distant hearth]

passivemods=modid
unsure if it works on anything other than winterwonderland though

[wise kindle]

Gotta wait till they say its good to remove first. Remove it early and you lose event items.

They have to put the permanent files into the game yet. Why this isnt done at launch we dont know. But we gotta wait for an allclear.

[unborn jetty]

alright and adding it to that make its so you cant obtain those cosmic's anymore correct? I also have to keep it the mod in the normal mod spot right>

[distant hearth]

yea so u leave the mod in place, then add the passive part aswell into the server start/launch command , be aware thats not a thing nitrado servers can do, only self hosted!!!

then that shud in theory disable the mod but leave the assets from it that people have already

[vague sparrow]

i gave it 30 minutes and exactly at the 30 minute mark it fixed itself. thanks

[distant hearth]

check in your game.ini
you want this line set to false

bAutoPvETimer=False

for what ever reason you are setting it true ,
if using beacon do not select the option in auto pve , use auto pve timer .

to set pve in beacon its done in the general setting header .

if doing it through nitrado ui
check in the nitrado general settings if you have that option turned off or on, u want it off

[peak sapphire]

I get the same issue as OP when I change general settings so I preemptively change those values to 1 and it’s good to go. As long as they don’t alter general settings, the issue won’t arise.

bAutoPvETimer is set to false, this isn’t the issue OP has

[distant hearth]

hmm yes i see now , sry, so much text i got a bit confused, i just do settings in ini , and havent seen what nitrado general settings are for asa

[peak sapphire]

I rarely change general settings either because the ini auto changes the general settings and vice versa. However there are a few settings in general that don’t appear anywhere else such as ‘ForceRespawnDinos’ for example.

[distant hearth]

yea its irritating the way nitrado does things. not sure if that one still works in the ini for asa tbh
its akward as most setings from ase work but odd ones dont

[peak sapphire]

The issue is when you alter general settings and hit save, the values for those 2 settings related to the PvE auto timer default to blank making you set a value each time. It’s annoying but not game breaking as setting them to 1 works for me.

[hazy silo]

are they any server host that has the cross ark feature available as yet ?

Hello, can someone help me? I have entered the -clusterid(...) on my pterodactyl. The tabling itself and uploading items work but I can't spawn with the traveling character on the other server. The "spawn" field is not clickable and the char is no longer displayed to me

[kindred gulch]

Hi all,
I'd like to store my cluster data in S3 and not as a simple data folder on my asa instances (with pterodactyl). The -clusterid=*** does create the clusters folder, but how does the -ForceS3ClusterStorage work ? Does it still exists in asa ? It seems you have to place a amazons3bucketcredentials.ark file, but what do I have to put inside ? what are the variable names for the S3 endpoint, the bucket and the keys ? Or do I have to use some environment variables ?
I'd really like to use this method and not have to make a network file sharing mount point.

can anyone get in a call wit me and help me do the ip think because made the server and port forwarded and everything i just need to make sure u can join cuz im trying to play the game with my friends

[blissful trout]

Anyone know how to enable transfers on Nitrado servers?

[olive talon]

Not available yet, check pins.

[normal canyon]

I had it enable on my servers and character profiles kept getting deleted.

[main quest]

I have a Private Server I host on my own Hardware and I cannot seem to get the Cluster/Transfer to work properly

It Times out when trying to Upload items

It will Upload a Creature, and as long as you stay in the Creature tab you can download it, but once you leave that TAB...Poof, Dino GONE

It will let you try to travel off server, but says it can't and to try again later.

Any Tips?

[normal canyon]

Put this in your startup bat file -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=cluster1 -ClusterDirOverride=E:\ClusterSave
Put in under GameUserSettings.ini ServerSettings
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=True

[main quest]

-ClusterDirOverride=E:\ClusterSave

Is this line create Data specific to the Cluster?
So I could direct it to G:\ASADS\Server-PvE-Cluster\ClusterSave in order to keep my PvE Cluster Info all together? "Server-PvE-Cluster" is the Folder that my servers Currently Save into

[normal canyon]

yes just make the folder clustersave

[main quest]

Thanks!

[normal canyon]

you will lose your character after a couple of transfers when you relogin

I am told there is some type of bug

but i got it to work

I think there needs to be a patch

I tested it but still lose my character after a while try with mods without mods with moded maps without moded maps it doesn't make a difference.

[wise kindle]

If your map is not fully shutdown when you hit the save button, it will not save changes. Also you have to hit the save button and wait till it says its saved the changes. Always have your map fully shutdown when you make any changes. It can take several minutes, up to 15 for heavily loaded maps, to fully shutdown.

[main quest]

Thanks, I'll leave Characters Transfers off for now, We want to test some MOD Maps and beable to use our Dinos and Items

[gusty rivet]

Has anyone figured out a way to get above level 135 yet? I've tried all sorts of ini settings. It just doesn't seem to have an affect.

[peak sapphire]

The issue is that when OP changes the general settings, the 2 settings associated with the aute pve timer despite that being unticked, reset to a blank value that you must change back each time. I had this same issue but it’s since gone away after I set them to 1. Now it only happens every now again unlike every time like OP. It’ll become a non-issue if OP ignores the general settings and only makes changes directly from the config files.

[wise kindle]

Thats a bug. I see this every day,

I just add zeros and call it a day.

Please no books man. Im tired lol.

[peak sapphire]

Yeah it’s annoying but there’s no need to alter the general settings unless it’s only found in there and not the config files.

[wise kindle]

I believe its just a web interface issue.

[peak sapphire]

Yep. It’s a non-issue blown out of proportion

[wise kindle]

No worries. I will just let others help you. Have a great day.

[haughty badger]

What does the noTransferFromFiltering do?

[wise kindle]

This is used to prevent players from uploading items/characters/dinos from single player or other clusters onto your map.

[haughty badger]

Ohhhh. Ok. Ty

[wise kindle]

No worries

[deft stone]

yes but it will be overrite next time you lunch the server 😦

[wise kindle]

Ty for this. I was wondering the same thing and almost did this 😂

Damnit 😅 I mean I'm doing this in 4NetPlayers, so I think itll be fine for now.

but thanks!

[quaint stag]

Hi

I have found a solution that no longer causes the error.... I removed the reser game to clean up the cookies Reinstalling Ark and it became a mod and to turn on the map itself I used a different internet connection I used a hotspot with tel it went without a problem

[tight agate]

Hi y'all
I tested setting up a cluster today. The servers are connected and I can travel to the other server, select spawn point. After clicking on "Spawn Survivor" the button changes to "Downloading" and is greyed out. And that's it. It's not connecting me to the other server.

I entered into the GUS the preventdownloadXYZ to false.

Any idea what that might be?

[distant hearth]

also check this is set false if you have it
notributedownloads=

[tight agate]

I think I have that as command line entry.
Should I remove it from there and add to GUS?

[distant hearth]

if you have it as ?notributedownloads=true, either remove it or set it false
they default to having it set false if its not there iirc

[tight agate]

I am away from my computer but I used the -No... version if I remember correctly.
Will check and try again

[distant hearth]

it might be -no i was going off memory tbh

[hollow shell]

is this for singleplayer or for rented server?

[willow veldt]

Hi all ! Does anybody have problem with mods limit storage on Xbox ?

[wise kindle]

Client or server side?

[willow veldt]

Client side

[wise kindle]

If its telling you that you are out of space, you can try to install each one individually. Dont leave the mod page till its done. You might avoid the message doing it this way. Mine lies and says its full all the time when its not.

[willow veldt]

Ok thanks, I tell it to my players

[wise kindle]

If that doesnt work they do need to check how many mods they got installed, cuz there is a limit. Not sure if they checked that yet.

[willow veldt]

We are making it now 😉

PC is life, no problem with that 😂

[wise kindle]

I had a player tell me he didnt “have that many” installed. I asked him to count them and he had 67 mods! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I had to break it to him that his mod space isnt infinite on a console 😂

[willow veldt]

OMG 67 mods 🤣

[wise kindle]

Right??

His single player must have been a mess lol

[willow veldt]

That's really strange, because a player have 2To free space but a limit of 5/6 Go for installed mods....

There's no way to change this limit ?

[wise kindle]

6 gigs? It should be 10.

[willow veldt]

6 on XBox

[wise kindle]

Something isnt right

Should be 10.

Has he tried reinstalling the game (worst case scenario) but I know that fixes mod space issues.

[willow veldt]

Yeah I've ever read it, I tell it to few players, they gonna test it. Wait and see

Thanks for your answers 😉

[tepid swallow]

So, I am progressing on gathering pieces for my Ark server computer where i plan to host cluster(s)/couple of servers.
I got 1000/1000mbps up/down
I got a 1080 card. (Since i was told the server hosting computer just need it for the screen)
When it comes to RAM i have been aiming at getting 128gb RAM but wonder what specs are more important to match between ram and cpu. Is the ryzen 9 5900x better than ryzen 7 5700? Or should I aim for one of the 7xxxx ryzen cpus?
What is better for server performance/stability since i plan to have the servers open with 20-32ish slots. When it comes to space I aim to have a couple tb's but it is my lack of knowledge for what impacts server perfomance the most out of the hardware i get I would like help with if possible!

[distant hearth]

ive looked into this a little bit, enough to know everything u list is overkill, id suggest doing a bit more research tbh
things to think about ,
a- noise
b- power consumption
if noise isnt an issue then you can pick up rack servers pretty cheap,such as ebay item no. 155197020081

The gpu is only used for display , the 1080 is way overkill , if u want to repurpose an old desktop or gaming pc , then maybe a r7 5700g , throw in the amount ram you need and a couple small ssd, one for backups.
at a rough guess 2 cores ,16gb ram, 12gb sdd space plenty for each server instance (im still allowing to much tbh incase wanted go more slots with a load mods )

[tepid swallow]

The gpu is my old one so that is why it is a 1080, noise isn't a problem thankfully. Powerconsumption would be a noticable thing but unless this computer would draw more than my existing computer and whitewares effectively doubling my powerconsumption on its own I believe it would be fine. As for overkill, I like going a bit above. Assuming I will host most maps when they release for ascended. And i was told approx 10gb per map. But i would go 128 because I want to imagine that maybe I host more than 6 maps. And the price difference for me when it comes to ryzen 9 5900x and r7 5700g was small enough that price wise it doesn't matter to me if it brings an actual increase in performance and stability.
As for the cores i have heard 3 different things now. 2 cores from you 8 cores from friends, and "as many cores and threads i can get" but that is where research was confusing at first but you are right, I am researching into it after work.

[jaunty vortex]

if you’re buying a new CPU then the 5700G will save you power on the 1080. the knock on effect will also be less heat and therefore quieter fans.

[distant hearth]

you aint gonna be neeeding 8 cores per server instance . one server instance i count as 1 map

[jaunty vortex]

my goal was low power for a machine that was going to run 24x7.

realistically, even if you’re running 6 maps, are you going to have 20 people on each? or is it 20 across all 6 maps?

If the latter then 60GB+ RAM is your goal and an 8 core CPU will cope.

a 5600G would probably be ample to be honest.

[tepid swallow]

I think it is just how I like to think, which event should I want to have covered the most. But yeah, 20 people less likely, hosting all released maps as they come will be what happens so i would like to have that covered.
But I will take the 5700 option then. Since i have no idea what to do with parts not yet mentioned like mobo or when i have a break to look at the server rack w1llz mentioned.

[jaunty vortex]

for the mobo i use the Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2. mainly because it supports 2.5Gbps ethernet for backups. it will take up to 128GB RAM. Only downside is only the first nvme slot does PCI-E 4.0 but if you’re using a 5700G that doesn’t matter anyway as it only supports PCI-E 3.0 (which is still overkill for running a server).

if you can still get them, an A520 will be fine too. you’re not building a powerhouse machine, you’re going for low power low heat, low noise.

I stuck an ID-COOLING DASHFLOW 240 in the roof of my PC case to cool the CPU. It dumps most of the generated heat straight out the case that way. with no plugin cards there’s very little to obstruct airflow through the case. with hindsight, i’d have gone for a case with a mesh front. But there’s not much heat so it probably doesn’t matter.

[tepid swallow]

Thanks for the information again! I will take it with me to the store this thing will be built.
But for my understanding then, this computer would be able to handle more than just ark servers or it would be quite capped on hosting the ark servers?

[jaunty vortex]

it will almost certainly do more than just run ark servers. I mean, the 5700G is still a capable CPU that will run basic games happily.

RAM and to a lesser extent disk space will be the limiting factor if you want to host more on it.

[tepid swallow]

Well that is why I look at 128. But that would be my limit. And disk space if 2 980 or 960gb ssd plus whatever HDD i use foe backups and space will do then I will count it all as covered

[distant hearth]

dont do what i just an drop the only dam m.2 drive screw i cud find on the kitchen floor, only for it to vanish into the abyss grrrr

[jaunty vortex]

yeah, if you chuck a big spinning disk in there for backups, you’re good. just set it to spin down when idle.

I backup to a Synology NAS. my drives in my server are 500GB for booting (overkill but originally everything ran of it) and a 2TB drive for the server files (also overkill currently but i had it spare).

[tepid swallow]

👍 alright. Is there any fancy raiding(not actually sure what it does but from the quick late night reading it looked like it was the setup for backup) i should do or what is the backup process? And I apologize running all these questions here now instead of looking into it more after work so thanks again.

[jaunty vortex]

no need to raid. it will just over complicate things unless your wanting to do this as a business?

[tepid swallow]

Oh no, not at all. Simply saw someone mentioning soft raid which is why I felt the urge to ask.

[jaunty vortex]

i’m still looking for a good, reliable server manager. the one i use does manage backups but it has a lot of other commissions and the dev has gone missing in action.

[tepid swallow]

Manager like asm for evolved?

[jaunty vortex]

yes.

[deft stone]

I think what is the most limiting thing for ARK is the speed of the harddrive Just think about the lag when the ASE server save (each 15 minutes). i think your better have multiple small hd (one per map) than one big. The size of the map file is not that big and you can always have a background task copying this map to a backup hd. My ASA server is on an M2 hd, and it take exactly 30 seconds to launch (great amelioration from ASE that take more than 2 minutes).

[raw glade]

@long zenith

This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment and server advertising channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.

[jaunty vortex]

i wouldn’t run the server files from a non-SSD. I do back them up to one nightly. given you can shift 3GB/s of data or more from an NVME drive, i don’t think there’s an issue running multiple maps from one.

[deft stone]

no there is no, just telling what can be optimize. make sure to start them on different schedule to make sure the 15 minutes save timer dont fall at the same time

[charred nest]

I suck when it comes to ini Creation and i see every server advertising all these different rates, how do they calculate all these numbers , is there a repository for 5x 4x 10x preconfigured ini files. or an app i can use?

[deft stone]

this is only one settings into the ini file : HarvestAmountMultiplier=5
Give a try to Beacon (server config helper app)

[wise kindle]

Beacon is the go to for server configuration and ini generation. There is a free version as well, tho the paid version is a bargain imo. Link is in the pins.

[charred nest]

i got beacon, still trying to get the intricacies figured out. figured some one woulda made a program to generate an ini by now

[deft stone]

there is so much options, 500+ its realy hard to configure. i work on my ini files since the last 5 years and i found new options each day... There is an app for ASE. ARK Server Manager, i find it easier than Beacon, but you will have to find the difference between ase and asa config files... not a lot but there is

in the first days of ASA i used the single player mod to generate base ini files and i compared them with those from ASE, and find my way like that. There is difference between singleplayer ini files and servers one

The ini section of the files are different but all options are the same

[distant hearth]

that's exactly what beacon does , it generates the two ini files from an easier to understand u/i .
there is no such thing as one fits all, as everyone wants different things

[wise kindle]

I like it cuz i can write my own code and then just import the live configuration and have a save file. Its the perfect backup.

I write, confirm it works and back it up.

[distant hearth]

yea i have dozens of differnt setups from all the servers had, looked after , ran over the years . Sometimes handy to just pull an bit code for modified drops or summit from an older file save me figuring out the weights an shit again

[wise kindle]

SAME

I pulled stuff from 2 years ago for ASA. Super handy.

[deft stone]

I like it but i prefer the inteface of ARK Server Manager,

i find it easier to understand

beacon was realy helpfull for finding the good settings for breeding speed / imprint

[distant hearth]

yes awesome for that being able see the effect on every creature

[wise kindle]

I like the spoil/decay timers and day/night info. Super helpful.

[deft stone]

do you have multiple installation of the server binaries or you use only one? My configs are done with only one installation

and can host all the maps

[wise kindle]

I use the different profiles for each map. The Base applies to all maps then the profiles are customizations on top. All maps can be in one file or you can make it easier to understand and use several files. Only issue is you have to make changes in each file compared to just one change in one file. If thats what you are asking.

The Beacon discord is full of helpful ppl as well.

[deft stone]

i think i have a good understand of the configs, i have one ini files, and i launch my servers with different batch files that have "personalize" configuration on the commande line. like the port and the map name... i was just woundering

[distant hearth]

i can do both ways now, i only had nitrado or gportal servers before so had to do each seperate . now i have couple test asa servers im learning to setup with cmd line, honestly i prefer a clean start line an just do it ini . personal prefence

[deft stone]

i have a command for you if you do batch files...

XCOPY "C:\ASA\Servers\ShooterGame\Saved\ServerName*" "C:\ASA\Servers\ShooterGame\Saved\ServerName %date% %time:~0,2%h%time:~3,2% %time:~6,2%sec/" /e /i
XCOPY "C:\ASA\Servers\ShooterGame\Saved\clusters*" "C:\ASA\Servers\ShooterGame\Saved\clusters %date% %time:~0,2%h%time:~3,2% %time:~6,2%sec/" /e /i

[distant hearth]

oh a backup command , nice

[deft stone]

it make a backup of the server and the cluster directory with a time stamp each time you lunch the server 🙂

just think to removie some time to time 🙂

[charred nest]

wish they would bake that into nitrado

[wise kindle]

Its under the Backup section of Nitrado, under the game saves section.

[distant hearth]

shud be a way to set that to overwrite after say 12 backups the oldest one, i was reading about it somehwere

[deft stone]

yes you can do something to delete files older than x time

forfiles -p "C:\what\ever" -s -m . -d <number of days> -c "cmd /c del @path"

[charred nest]

@wise kindle all i see under automated is stop and restart

[deft stone]

something like that

[distant hearth]

if the server is new, it wont have generated any backups yet

[wise kindle]

Not in General settings, under the tab for restoring saves… the tabs on the left.

[deft stone]

In ASE after 15 minutes of play i had a backup like that : TheIsland_24.05.2023_10.18.36.ark, i nearly never have one of those with ASA any idea?

[charred nest]

i have to ftp in and makes backups now

sorry save them offline

[wise kindle]

Ah no. Usually have at least a couple of these onhand.

[deft stone]

i think i must play 3h to get one

[wise kindle]

If that works fpr you thats more accurate imo. Less depending on Nitrado to have all the saves on hand.

[charred nest]

nitrado suxx for that

[wise kindle]

For ftp?

[charred nest]

no for help in general

[wise kindle]

Oh lol. Most hosts are ass. Nitrado is no different. At least they can tell your servers apart, unlike some hosts I know.

[charred nest]

had a sql corruption due to a mod crashing, had to roll back to an earlier save, didnt fix it, asked them to roll back server and got oh im sorry we cant do that

this was the response from them Hello, thank you for your reply.

Sadly, only the backups shown on your webinterface are available,
It is recommended that you make local copies of your backups via FTP regularly.

[wise kindle]

The sql corruption can be fixed but you have to run a fix on the files and, at least in my experience, it doesnt always work. Best to just reinstall and then reapply your backup files.

[charred nest]

i mean if i had better internet i could spin up my own server or two, heck i could do a Always On availability group for that mater

[distant hearth]

crap internet why i cant run my own 😦

[deft stone]

what is the SQL you talk about? i never used nitrado

[wise kindle]

I have great internet, i just dont like computers 😂

I hesitate to say something is fixed tho, cuz it always comes back.

[distant hearth]

lmao yea im sure they can break a fix

[charred nest]

We're the free diag and tier 2 support

[wise kindle]

I don’t think they do ANY recursive testing. Thats why we see bugs come back. They fix it then never look for it again.

[distant hearth]

nitrado support , half the time in here too

[deft stone]

yes i think they could implement better testing before go live, they did a PTR for the turkey trials i think and it went with nearly no bug at the go live

[pseudo glade]

so i just had one of my patrons from my server upload his character and then when he transfered to svartal from the island his character was lost. Now it wont let him download it on either of the two maps and is causing issues. (Just tested it for myself and was able to transfer back and forth). Anyone have an idea how to restore this character for this dude on my server?

[wise kindle]

Create new, and level it up. Its a known issue. Transfers are far from safe atm unfortunately. Hundreds are lost everyday.

[pseudo glade]

that was my guess. I was just curious if theres a way to restore

[wise kindle]

Not that we know of, sadly.

[pseudo glade]

i tried clustering in an backup but when the dude tried transfering over to island or svart it said his toon was already uploaded

[wise kindle]

It seems to be hit and miss random. Tho it seems if an account lost one character, its extremely likely to lose another. While others seem to have no issues. Its rough rn.

does anyone know how to add a password to a windowsgsm server?

is it just -serverpassword=PW?

[vital linden]

Are you wanting to put a password in the game server, so players have to enter it to connect?

[pseudo glade]

yes, im patching in a test server so this person who lost there character can at least get there gear and i dont want anyone joining but me and him

[vital linden]

Just add "ServerPassword=Whatever123" in the GameUserSettings.ini file. Requires restart.

[pseudo glade]

feel like ive done this b4

didnt work on windowsgsm but will try again

[vital linden]

WIndowsGSM doesn't govern it.

I use WGSM for my ARK game servers. Each server has it's own Config files in the Saved folder of the server directory.

kay not 100% noob just didnt work last time i added a password using this method

will try again

[shy mural]

hellooo, how are you doing? Can I play ARK survival evolved with my friend? Im on EPIC games and she is with xbox game pass

[deft stone]

not sure ase was cross platform

asa is but not ase

[wide swallow]

how do i make a fibercraft

[deft stone]

what is a fibercraft?

[late estuary]

So just leave it like that, and don't use an actual URL? There's no official whitelist URL?

[deft stone]

i just dont know but it work ok for me wiht only ="URL"

[wise kindle]

Evolved is not crossplay, sorry.

[late estuary]

That's so silly

[deft stone]

it probably just trust everything like that

[shy mural]

thanks 😥

[ancient pond]

is there a away to make it to boost stats when leveling? i dont see anything on nitrado

[balmy rivet]

Anyone having issues updating to most recent patch?

[ancient pond]

pumping alot of points into fortitude and its not doing much to help

[balmy rivet]

Do you have a sever manager or using steamcmd?

You need to edit the stat gain per level in your game.ini

[ancient pond]

im using nitrado

how do i get a server manager

[balmy rivet]

That's for self hosting

How do you edit values on nitrado? Like changing harvest and baby maturation etc

[ancient pond]

what do you mean? i can change them those but not much to do for player stats

[balmy rivet]

ill dm you a screenshot

[frail ferry]

go get Beacon program for ark.

[maiden bramble]

how can i make it to that only primal chao and other modded dinos only spawn?
its alot of default animals spawning

[wise kindle]

They usually get killed off by primal dinos. Most ppl leave it as is. The only option is to block spawns for each dino individually.

[maiden bramble]

how do i do that?

Hello. maybe someone can help me. we have the following problem. we host our servers ourselves via root. At the beginning we had already played Asa on it and had taken a break. Now we can no longer find our server in the game. Uninstalling and reinstalling the server had no effect. has something changed? does anyone have a tip? windows servers

[hazy silo]

try joining via the IP

Does anyone have transfers working on unofficial clusters as yet ?

[distant hearth]

nitrado no, self host yes, see pinned messages

[hazy silo]

is it disabled by nitrado? and other server host? or is there just no point and click solution in the interface ?

[distant hearth]

just nitrado have it disabled atm

[honest wadi]

How i can join via steam with id? There is no Joice

[jaunty vortex]

In the Console, type open <server ip>:<port number>

[hazy silo]

add it to steam, google if you don't know how to

[honest wadi]

That was not the question. I know how to add it to Steam and it doesn't work. I also have another gaming server. I'm not new to this topic. I asked how it works in the game itself.

[lunar cloud]

Don't think you can add ASA server to steam. You open the game and search for your server. The server registers itself with an epic service once it starts given you have the right udp port open and server is configured to expose that port. Also your router/firewall or anything in front of the server needs to allow the port to forward and not block it.
Nothing else changed

When searching your server make sure you check the right filter checkboxes, like password protected etc

Other thing, make sure your server is up to date, else your client can't see it too

[honest wadi]

thanks for the reply. we have already checked and all ports are active. tcp and udp . the server is also on. but is nowhere to be found

[distant hearth]

asa only needs a udp port to show up in lists , check server is on the latest version , v34.xx
can also use battlemetrics website to search the server name, just incase its an issue your side .

[honest wadi]

Thank you very much for the quick help. I'll try it out and let you know. ❤️

[lunar cloud]

also check the logs, make sure actually reaching to the point where it would be exposed.. i.e

[2024.02.17-09.58.31:802][  0]Server: "xxxxxxx" has successfully started!
[2024.02.17-09.58.41:921][  0]Full Startup: 192.92 seconds
[2024.02.17-09.58.41:921][  0]Number of cores 4

if you are not seeing at least the logs up to the cpu cores, then the game is not running.
Also check open and listening ports with netstat
If you're running mods and they cause issue then your server may not listen on the udp port and not fully initialised

[ocean bolt]

Is the MaxTributeDinos= setting working correctly on your ASA?

[regal shard]

Hey friends, i'm playing ARK Evolved with my friends, and when trying to join a non dedicated server they created, I get login failed, my network works perfectly, and i can join other public ark servers, any help plz ?

[finite inlet]

Bruh when will nitrado enable transfers

[jaunty vortex]

ask Nitrado. they have a discord.

[glass elbow]

where is the update for servers? still not getting it, tried steamcmd update a couple times

[jaunty vortex]

good question. i’ve not been able to get it either. guess it’s not released to Steam yet

[verbal bison]

One of their employees on their discord this morning said he wasn't aware of an ETA...

Embarrassing

[wise kindle]

Given how busted transfers are, they can keep them till they fix the damn thing.

[long zenith]

So i'm thinking about buying a VPN server to host a server, is it hard to setup tho?=

or would i be better off buying nitrado server* ?

[distant hearth]

its a not easy but not hard, how much reseacrh did you do already?

[long zenith]

Not much honestly. I'm just wondering if 17 euro a month is worth

[distant hearth]

i highly doubt you can get a 17 euro a month vps that can run asa server

[long zenith]

Yeah i'm taking that thought away, so im thinking about just doing nitrado.. The only issue is i dont know how to do with the mutation and breeding setting.. I'm gonna run 1x xp, prob 2-3x taming

[distant hearth]

most that stuff is easy ini settings, do a bit research, spend the time if you really wanna do it , ase settings almost identical
beacon ark omni is a good tool for ini configs ,
plus
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration lists everything
the beacon link is in pinned messages of this channel
google an youtbe has most info if you look for it

[long zenith]

I need some more help with baby settings. I need somewhat "Inbetween" settings. I dont want a baby to be fully grown in 5 minutes, atleast some time to feel like i earned it.

This is what I have set on the server i run

[long zenith]

So how long does it take to breed a baby with that?

[jaunty vortex]

depends. 20 minutes maybe?

[long zenith]

Can you check what your cuddlegraceperiod is set to and the babyimprintamountmultiplayer?

and thank you ❤️ appreciate it big time!

[jaunty vortex]

will be defaults. what i shared are all the changes we made.

[bitter wave]

i want to join my friend in ark but i cant cause everytime i do i cant see his sever anyone know how to fix it

[oak raft]

Is Nitrado down my server has been stuck in starting up all

[pseudo glade]

how do i replaced someones tek engrams if they were forced to remake there character?

[wise kindle]

Easiest way is to walk them thru the fights and red gun the boss tbh. The other option is to look up all the engrams and run each command on their character to give them each engram.

Imo the red gun fights are a ton faster.

[pseudo glade]

cheat GiveTekEngramsTo <UE4 ID> <GFI Code>

[wise kindle]

Yep

[pseudo glade]

why doesnt this work? UE4 ID turned into what?

[wise kindle]

Oh idk I dont use them. Its too tedious.

It might be the EOS number

[pseudo glade]

tried with the EOS ID and it dont work

[wise kindle]

Ah idk tbh. The old boss fight commands also dont give engrams anymore either. So many commands are broken.

[pseudo glade]

so annoyed with wildcard. Come out with a command list for ASA already

[wise kindle]

Seriously

[oak raft]

@pseudo glade them actually do something right for once in they’re miserable life 🤣😂 by the way, we only have five days left of February and still no center map

But ShowMyAdminManager should bring up a list of administrative commands your welcome

[pseudo glade]

Not a list that works

[wise kindle]

Agreed. That list is 99% useless tbh. Its too hard to navigate and tells you nothing about its variables. It creates more work than it removes.

[oak raft]

Yes but you can use it to give engrams can you not ?

[oak raft]

My ark server is stuck in reboot mode after I wiped it for being stuck in a reboot mode Nitrado is trash

And all I did after I wiped it was name it and put an admin password on it

[wise kindle]

Did you let setup finish? Usually wait at least an hour after you start the rebuild. If you interrupt it, it can get stuck in an unrecoverable loop.

[honest wadi]

We tested everything as you explained to us. our server is online, we see full startup and all 6 cores. in battle metrics the server is also online. Still we can't find it in the game itself anymore.

[mellow wasp]

where is the file configs of keybinds?

[distant hearth]

When searching for it in game, make sure the filters are correct , on the bottom right is a checkbox for player owned servers , this must be ticked .
The box for passworded or not , ticked or not as apropiate
At the the top set it to all instead of pve/pvp,
then search the server name and hit enter

[honest wadi]

Thanks for the help. The filters were correct. the problem solved itself. Today everything works like magic again. typical 😄

[mellow wasp]

Help????

The bot need a update xd

?x6 = spam xd

[loud fox]

Hi I want to build 2nd PC for NAS purposes and setup unraid on it, and now its better to setup vm on it to make ark server or better to use docker?

[feral ibex]

Anyone else having issues on their server with shoulder pets randomly dying?

[tribal parrot]

So I have created a undeadicated server for my kids to play with me and we have a few mods. Everytime my son tries to join it loads the mods it kicks him back to the store page and he has the game so not sure what is going on

nm he did not have the Ragnarok map

[tidal arrow]

can anyone get in a call wit me and help me do the ip thing because i made the server and port forwarded and everything i just need to make sure u can join cuz im trying to play the game with my friends

[snow lotus]

Can anyone give me code for loot crates trophy spawn please

[tribal parrot]

Actually still having problems with my kid joining. We downloaded the Ragnarok map now it is timing out when he tries to join my non dedicated server. Says failed to join and just times out. We have verified integrity and restarted the computer and steam he has fiber internet so connection speed is not an issue. any help would be appreciated

[distant hearth]

non dedi isnt really a server there finicky at best, p2p networking to a singleplayer world. try it a few times , if it still wont work you might need to forward the ports, some antivirus,firewalls and routers block incoming connections

[tribal parrot]

ya just don't want to pay for a whole server if my kids are only going to play it a few days so was trying this. will look up how to forward the ports cause it has been a long time. Thanks w1llz123

[distant hearth]

np hopefully you get it working, if u have a half decent pc, can setup an dedicated server on it, will just take a bit time an effort googling how

[tribal parrot]

Might be an option and would be able to relearn how to do that again. Any place you can point me to that has good instructions?

[distant hearth]

not really , i only learnt how do asa but think ase is very similar , i did it from youtube and google , just spent a few hours watching vids an reading . there simplest way i know wud be to use the steam tool and make it work that way .
try the ports first anyway , might just be that blocking the connection especially if they can find it in the list

[tribal parrot]

would I just forward steam ports you think?

doh I was not fast enough lol. can you private message me it?

[distant hearth]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

i just got the wrong wiki lol, that lists the ports needed so ,theese 3 shud do it
Port Purpose
UDP 7777 Game port
UDP 7778 Peer port (always Game port +1)
UDP 27015 Query port (for Steam's server browser only)

[tribal parrot]

Awesome thanks

Really thanks for all the help

[distant hearth]

np , like i say still might not work , non dedi are kinda weird tbh . im not overly familiar with

[tribal parrot]

nope did not work but thanks anyway. Will look into setting up a server on my comp as the next step.

[distant hearth]

ah damm , find a guide on how to do it through the steam app, you basically press a button in steam to show tools then find the dedicated server tool

[tribal parrot]

ok cool. Will do. Have to head out now but thanks again for the advice

[wise kindle]

I didnt see this asked but are you all on the same platform? Such as all on Steam pc? If not thats the issue. Non dedi has no crossplay at all. Even epic cant connect.

[tidal arrow]

can anyone get in a call wit me and help me do the ip thing because i made the server and port forwarded and everything i just need to make sure u can join cuz im trying to play the game with my friends

@distant hearth

[distant hearth]

im not good at networking stuff so no point me trying do call, all i can tell you is only port 7777udp needs to be forward for asa server unless uo told it otherwise using -port=xxxx
use battlemetrics website to check if the server is actually online an showing in the lists , will also tell you what port its running

[tidal arrow]

thx

[scenic bloom]

anyway to remove the cryo cooldown on pvp for ASE? Ive tried changing the gameuser ini files and its not working

singleplayer steam*

[distant hearth]

for pvp no, u wud have to use a mod, i reccomend dino storage v2

[scenic bloom]

Ah damn okay, thank you alot 🙏

[tidal arrow]

i dont understand why it is not working i portforwarded again but it still didnt work

and i used port

im in the sever but its telling my friends its not the correct

[distant hearth]

does it go into ticking loop? is it latest version ? does it show on battle metrics?

[tidal arrow]

1.no 2. i havent updated in about 1 week so i dont think small versions stop the server 3. for some reason it dont show on battle metrics

but im in the server

[distant hearth]

first lets work some things out, its a dedicated server ? its ark survival ascended?

[tidal arrow]

yup dedicated and no its evolved

[distant hearth]

okay , thats differnt, evolved needs other ports opened to run

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

[tidal arrow]

yess ive opened 7777-7778 and 27000 -28000

[distant hearth]

and there on same system ? steam or?

ase is only x play between steam an epic or win10 an xbox(only way to do that is through nitrado ) afaik

[zenith stump]

Hello, players on my server no longer see the contents of their chest, but I see them in admin, do you have a solution? we tried (suicide and team kick it doesn't work)

[main trail]

Anyone knows if the 50/50 teleportation bug is due to a mod ?

[zenith stump]

no just ark

[tidal arrow]

yes same system and steam

[distant hearth]

idk know then, u did those ports in windows firewall, any a/v you have and the router ?

[tidal arrow]

everything is working fine i think n i did them but its just the ip

[distant hearth]

yea sry i cant help further, seems like a network issue to me .
might be worth contacting your isp an seeing if they allow ipv4 adress for game servers , ive heard some dont unles you ask

[tidal arrow]

they do because couple weeks ago someone helped me and they joined my server and everything

now im trying it wit my friends and its not working

[distant hearth]

some isp dont use static ip adresses , so possibly it changed , wud have to google for what your ip adress is atm

[cunning trail]

Where do I set -clusterID=[clustername] ??

[distant hearth]

nitrado server?

[cunning trail]

No

[distant hearth]

then in the start launch command

[cunning trail]

Ok, so the samenplace I put the active event mod correct?

[distant hearth]

u will also need to use clusterdiroverride= an point it at a shared folder if u run the servers out of differne folders/directories

[cunning trail]

I have different pcs for each server.

I use windows game server manager to boot up the server

I was under the impression I had to put in ini files.

[distant hearth]

not sure how to do it from differnt pc, but they will need a shared cluster folder, you will have google it, ase worked the same way

[distant hearth]

no its a server start launch command

[cunning trail]

Ok. I believe it'll be the same place I put the event mod

Thank you

[oak raft]

Gotta love paying 24.99$ for a server to half to wipe it then start it up only for every 30 seconds it restarts for no reason at all

Nitrado best server provider on the planet 🤡

[distant hearth]

they suck, glad to get away from them .
not sure what steps you have taken to resolve the issue though .
my way was , install another game to it , leave it an hour, if that wudnt boot , its a hardware issue an they sort it eventually

[oak raft]

@distant hearth I emailed them told them I wasn’t happy and that I want a refund because my server has been like this for the past 3 days I have wiped it fresh 4 times did the save file back up bs and nothing seems to work either. It gets stuck in booting up or get stuck in every 30 seconds restarting I only have 14 days left on my server any so if I can’t get it to work before then I’m not going to be buying it again

[distant hearth]

install another game to it, that completely wipes its save data folders . wait an hour, if that is running an stable, install ark, wait an hour for it do its shit an be stable .
then an only then do i start to customize it,
shut down , wait 5 mins, add my ini , save it, start . leave 10 mins ,stable, shutdown an add save files

[wise kindle]

Set up a selfhost map and be done with it.

[oak raft]

And a friend of my bought a server yesterday and his server is doing the exact same thing mine is doing

[oak raft]

I don’t have a second PlayStation to do that with

[wise kindle]

You have to use a PC to selfhost.

[oak raft]

Or a pc to do that with

I’m using my iPhone for most of my server changes

[distant hearth]

i found a semi decent server rack on ebay the other day for £140 , wish my internet was good 😦
cudda ran it out in the shed easy

[wise kindle]

Cancel it and find a nice unofficial to play on. Theres around 14000 crossplay clusters and even some mod maps to play on.

[oak raft]

Yes but not a lot of them don’t run the Primal chaos mod

[wise kindle]

A couple hundred of them do.

Or Smallworld is fun lol. Enshrouded is coming to console as well.

[oak raft]

I only play pve

[wise kindle]

then go to the Chaos discord and look in the server ads for PVE maps.

In the server ads section? I dont think so.

Look, I'm giving you solutions. Not sure what else you want to hear man.

Now the Primal Fear discord yes, thats a toxic place.

Primal Chaos tho, no. Ive have very good interactions with those folks.

Both of them? I havent had a bad interact on either of those discords.

You might want to look at other games tbh.

Sounds like nothing is going to work for you on this game.

Ok Im out. Have a great day.

[cunning trail]

Anyone experienced character deleting when respawning after transferring from a different server?

[wise kindle]

a couple hundred are deleted every day. Its very broken. No known fix. You can try to see if its on the old map but nothing else can fix it. And it is random.

[cunning trail]

Ok thanks. Finally set up on my servers. Luckily tried on test character first. Look like my cluster will wait lol thank you. @wise kindle

[wise kindle]

It used to be a couple thousand but most ppl stopped trying to transfer, so the number is probably down alot lol.

[wise kindle]

np

[cunning trail]

Yeah, it appeared to work. Gave option to respawn. Then after choosing respawn point it showed create a character screen.

[wise kindle]

it seems to do the same thing with eggs as well. It needs alot of work. Nitrado hasnt even enabled it yet cuz they want to do "more testing". My guess is they dont want the deleted character backlash yet.

[peak sapphire]

If the safe transfers is what Nitrado are taking so long to test, not the implementation of the UI since it would be mostly a copy and paste from ASE, what does that say about WC?

[cunning trail]

Wym with eggs? My breeding been going great

[wise kindle]

eggs get deleted on download

[cunning trail]

Oic. Ive avoid the obelisk after early game uploaded dinos and couldn't download them. RIP to that first boss army

[wise kindle]

yeah thats my guess.

Imagine they enabled it and the sheer onslaught of tickets from deleted characters they would get. Absolute nightmare. WC wont even answer their character tickets, imagine a service that still needs to convince players to not cancel their maps.

For Nitrado it will go bad very quickly.

[wise kindle]

yeah its been bad but in ASA its just so much worse.

[cunning trail]

Yeah, and it would be fully warranted. Players should be able to expect it to work upon it being enabled. Not "transfer at your own risk" leaving it off is right choice

[cunning trail]

I used 3rd party software to sync my own folders on my cluster on ase and it worked great. But files are a bit diff this time around, still learning

[distant hearth]

nitrado support doesnt even know how to fix lost char , might aswell talk to to a mcdonalds drive thru employe

[peak sapphire]

Be interesting to know if non-Nitrado servers are experiencing the same level of problems with transfers.

[wise kindle]

they do, they all come here

[distant hearth]

they are, most just know how fix it

[cunning trail]

Yes, mine aren't nitrade.

[sweet bridge]

is there any way to use frame generation without getting constant crashes? I have a 4070 ti super. and i am crashing all the time,but when its the FG is off its all perfect for the most part

[distant hearth]

no

[wise kindle]

Not until they fix the crash tbh

[sweet bridge]

the new nvidia drivers (1 day ago)helped a bit i did not crashed for about an hour but then it started again....

[distant hearth]

just disable the shit , lower gfx if u want fps until forever knowing wc, they arent the only ones having the issue

[sweet bridge]

i am running now without Frame generation and i haven't a crash since... I Cannot tell if its a game issue an nvidia messing with Unreal engine or a lil bit of both... too bad though cause with FG its so buttery smooth at ultra..

[distant hearth]

my best guess, bit of both

[wise kindle]

Its the game. Its always this game.

[distant hearth]

nah, nightingale has same issue

also doesnt sem like my gpu either as crashes randomly with it off an other rtx stuff off

[wise kindle]

lol nice. Only on nvidia?

[distant hearth]

specifically rtx stuff , not heard of amd issues but dint look very hard tbh

[wise kindle]

I just blame the game. I update my drivers and still crash then I just end up on my console, cuz its doesnt crash. Its a sad state of affairs.

[distant hearth]

yea game industry as whole just makes games to work on console then trys to have the pc version work it seems . shift in dynamics

[cunning trail]

Fr 😭 it's a sad truth.

[wise kindle]

70/30 console/pc speaks volumes tho. At least for ASA. I dont understand why this is so difficult tho.

[distant hearth]

easier make game for console they have one set hardware that never changes , pc has a trillion differnt combos

[wise kindle]

Truth

[distant hearth]

combine that with impatient younger generation that just whats it now an working flawless , the market goes the way of the money

[wise kindle]

ugh dont remind me

[distant hearth]

anyway unofficially , ark works ok , officialls, i have no idea how people play that shit

[wise kindle]

I dont want ok tho. I want solid transfers, a visible dragon and my fps to not suck lol.

[distant hearth]

we can all dream

i doubt ever get solid transfers though, always gonna get the random server crash or internt d/c in middle transfer . joys of running server, sorting that out

[wise kindle]

I am looking forward to SE tho. I miss that map.

[distant hearth]

mostly im looking forward to what they do with it , was the last ase map i played, was doing a map to map run through again when they annouced asa so stopped there

[cunning trail]

Is dragon invisible every time?

I've avoided dragon to date. Beat alpha monkey and spider fine.

[wise kindle]

no thats what sucks. Again its random.

[cunning trail]

I have a shitty Rex army I may give it a shot with. But I agree solid transfers and a visible dragon is all I want lol

[wise kindle]

It can even effect the dragon boss phase in the Overseer fight. Darn thing disappears when it turns into the dragon mid fight. Have to bring a parasaur to find it.

[cunning trail]

Oh wow, parasaur it is. Thanks.

Is there a way to override the cryopods setting that prevents cryoing a recently injured dino?

[young minnow]

No sadly

[tender garnet]

just had an issue with character on my DS and my character seems to be deletd. My friend however can still ee my corpse in game, sleeping.

how can I claim this as my own (I am the server admin)

i’ll keep you posted. i traded in a 3060 Ti today towards a 7800XT

Is anyone down to grind a server with me

[deft stone]

Try the program named BEACON you will have an easy way to do it

[gusty quest]

How exactly do I know how to layer my mods? I'm a nitrado user on Xbox and am unfamiliar with steam. Guides I've seen say to look at the steam workshop to look for a green, yellow, red puzzle piece icon but most of my ASA mods aren't listed or I'm having trouble finding them. The active mod section is also moved for ASA and I'm unsure wether I can just copy, rearrange, paste.

Is there a guide or video up for ASA and Nitrado?

[heady forum]

Anyone have the nitrado discord

[vital linden]

Sent to you in DM

[heady forum]

@vital linden ty

[south wave]

Wdym by "layer" your mods?

If you mean mod order it's largely irrelevant. Unless some mod you use is tagged as "total conversion" or "map" it doesn't need to load first

[gusty quest]

That is what I mean, but I've had some mods break. Especially ones that introduce new creatures and items

[distant hearth]

if you try to add conflicting mods any order wont really help , but as a rule thumb on most games
total overhaul mods first,
structure mods next
dino mods
then w.e else

[south wave]

Yes

[spring cairn]

How does clustering in Nitrado work? Do you have to pay for 2 servers (full price) to run both maps? Is there a discount for multi server billing? Or can we swap between the two maps freely on the one paid server? Thanks.

[distant hearth]

when they eventually enable it, you will need two seperate servers , dunno if they do discounts, prob not tbh

[spring cairn]

I guess time will tell.

[raven notch]

Hi guys question for ASE

I want to enable mutators on my server but what will be the most balanced way to do it? for example 1 pulse a day on one ancestrial line or high element cost

[distant hearth]

i always just did it through the splus ones, an left it be, if people wanted to farm for the ele to do it they cud.
still takes quite a lot time an effort to get the muts stacked

[raven notch]

guess i will just nerf gen2 ele or increase mutator cost

[normal canyon]

Any word on when they are going to fix server transfers

[distant hearth]

ah yea , gen 2 ... shud be be able just up the cost
almost certain there an ini setting for s plus version

[raven notch]

I have the INI already yes

[silver kayak]

Hi, is it possible to transfert character and stuff from official to à private server on ASA ??

[distant hearth]

no
