[robust bough]

Ok well iv copied few messages to him hopefully we can get it sorted thank you all for your help.

[peak quartz]

server not popping up

[distant hearth]

can take like 10-15 mins for nitrado servers to show up once there started .
also check in the filters at top you have it set to all, not pve or pvp,
also in filters tick or untick passworded protected depending if set one or not

[peak quartz]

so just have the one thing disabled not pve/pvp

[weak fractal]

hey does anyone have an idea of why i see this chess board on screen when am in my inventory?

[distant hearth]

in game when searching for server there is filter at top, have it set to all

[peak quartz]

i know i got it looking up lulu land but idk if i even did everythign right

idk what i doing wrong lol but we see in 10mins

[distant hearth]

yea hopefully shows, the server shud show its running in nitrado i think somehwere.
sry not overly familiar with nitrado asa servers

[peak quartz]

same i i used to other server but u cna only get a server witht his one XD

server keeps restarting on it own

[distant hearth]

does it have mods added?

[peak quartz]

mhm not alot

jsut the ark love super cryo and plus item and super spy glass

[gritty nest]

hello, a friend and me want to play on non dedicated but the option to change the tether distance in the menu is missing (i looked at rules but its not there), am i blind or am i missing something myself?

[distant hearth]

remove them all for now, get the server to boot an start up an run for atleast 20 mins, then see about ading them, one at a time if need be .

[peak quartz]

ok

ok i showed up after i took mods off

[wise kindle]

I leave them for a full hour before ever touching them. If you do there is a chance it will reboot forever.

[distant hearth]

funniest thing out that list id suspect its ark love ascended causing the issue lmao
but yea defo leave it running to stabilise before trying add mods

[uneven flame]

So like GitHub raw file same as the bad words whitelist?

[peak quartz]

ty guys

[distant hearth]

your welcome, hope u get it all up an running how you want

[peak quartz]

same

now see if things are good like harvest so on i still didnt figure fiber thing out but i will research later

ok so far eveythign goo but how i up the stroage

last thing i wannat make it where u put 1 lvl in to wieght u get like 200

nothing to huge

[distant hearth]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=10
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=10

these two lines in game.ini make it so , each level added is 100 (10 x the default 10)
player for player stats ,
dinotamed for dino stats

so change the = part to 20 if you want 200 per level like this ,

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=20

wait for the server to be stable an running for while like we said before , then shut it down , wait 5 mins, add the lines to game.ini
then save it , wait minute an restart

[peak quartz]

ty i know i just prepairing so i can get all set ready for when i do restart

[distant hearth]

i recomend doing the dinos too or thy get over weighted fast

[peak quartz]

i do it after dinner and ok ty i do that to

[severe bison]

If I upload my character on my dedi server and try to join another server from will I still have my character to download?

@distant hearth do you know anything about it?

[distant hearth]

yea , no not really gonna work, most people have there servers have locked from downloads or in a cluster id now

[severe bison]

Or does in order to download a character on another map need the same host?

[severe bison]

But if they have it open we say

[distant hearth]

theres a ways to do it by uploading to single player, then downloading to the other map , if they are allowing it .
shitty server if they do coz its a bad loop hole

[severe bison]

Not single player

I mean from one dedicated server to another

[distant hearth]

i know but to travel to another not clustered , you have to upload from server into single player, then download from single player into the new server

its a bad loophole that really shudnt exist , but it does coz janky code

[severe bison]

oh okey

[arctic basin]

each player connected to my server brings around 20 ping points more, for 6 players the latency is 300 and above have you ever had this problem? I've never had this in several months

[distant hearth]

check your isp isnt throttling your download an upload speeds

[severe bison]

so if i want to make my own SE server and i want to transfer my character from the island to SE how do i do that? do i need to open a cluster and make them be online at the same time?

[arctic basin]

how i can see that ?

[distant hearth]

pretty much yea, theres aguid ein pinned messages how to do it

[distant hearth]

use something like speed test by ookla

[arctic basin]

mmm nope, i'm self hosting, connection works fine :/ this is weird

[distant hearth]

set it to a server in a location players are connecting from

[arctic basin]

Fiber by the way

[severe bison]

would be 32gb enought to run the game and 2 server at the same time? just for like 2 mins to transfer the character! i would close everything else in the meantime too

[distant hearth]

dont matter , isp are ass hats an throttle speeds sometimes if heavy useage

[arctic basin]

ok i try to do speed test

[distant hearth]

probably be fine

[severe bison]

i have now with both ark and server and chrome and discord and every other task 10gb left

[distant hearth]

running the servers is differnt to having playing on them an built up etc , they use less just idling

[rancid marsh]

Hello everyone - anyone's tamed dino health more than doubled since update?

The coding has not been adjusted and still set only to 1

[severe bison]

ah okey thanks a lot then!

i will probably upgrade to 64 gb in the future to have a big cluster for all my friends!

but i will probably need a new cpu then bc 6 cores wouldn't be enough

[distant hearth]

prob be ok , 6 core 12 thread modern cpu likely do 4 or so smaller server no problem. hard to judge as , mods, player count amount built on them etc all add extra useage

[severe bison]

yea still i sometimes peak 70% usage which is very much!

[distant hearth]

70% peak fine, its not 100% an flatlining

[peak quartz]

how u cange maps on the server

[wise kindle]

In Nitrado or selfhost?

[peak quartz]

nitro

cause started map with island

and wanted to change to test i got the map info and stuff but how i delete the island

[wise kindle]

Stop your map
Wait 5 minutes after the map is stopped
add the map mod to your map in the Curseforge mods section
Save
make sure the mod number is the FIRST in the mod list <-- super important
Save
Start the map
Wait 5 minutes after the map is up
Stop the map
Wait 5 minutes after the map is stopped
In General settings set
Map Name: Custom
Custom mapname: (enter mapname with an underscore WP here, example Svartalheim_WP)
Save
Start your map

[humble thicket]

anything I can do if my servers aren't showing up in the in game menu?

[distant hearth]

check there actually running if its yout own servers

[humble thicket]

They are

They even show up in the "favorite" tab, not on unofficial tho

So getting new ppl in without explaining how to join via ip on steam is hard

[distant hearth]

suorised abything shows in fav, that been broken for me since i first got ase and in asa

[distant hearth]

asa or ase?

[humble thicket]

ase

[wise kindle]

Same. Mine never works for more than a day or two.

[distant hearth]

getting new people on ase is just gonna get harder and harder, most people playjg it are on estabilished servers imo

[distant hearth]

i dont think mine has ever worked

[wise kindle]

Mine fakes you out. Works for like 2 days then poof.

Unless you mean favorites on Steam, if ppl are getting lost doing that, then you are getting full on Ark newbies and that cant be helped. Best to just make a help channel and create a step by step guide on how to find the map and save it in your Steam server favorites.

Else you are just gonna be repeating yourself blue in the face lol.

[slow crane]

Do we have a list of curseforge mods that are causing the restart loop

[wise kindle]

best if you list what you got tbh, its quite the list

[slow crane]

946237,930025,927084,900062,928793,928621,914844,912902,928501,908148,916922,912815,929578,933447,933588,929038,931877,935297,929684,943455,928549,931251,936269,928825,928708,929838,931549,930389,940786,931478,946536,946694,933980,947835,931874,935408,930366,929868,944651

Those are all the ones I'm running but I can send screenshots

[wise kindle]

how...
how many is that?

would need a list tbh, I cant look all these up man

[distant hearth]

too many

[wise kindle]

its alot, even for me. And I think I run too many.

[distant hearth]

lol ya , but atleast you know how an can do the time needed to fix issues

[slow crane]

36 mods I'll type em

[wise kindle]

Got me beat by 17 mods

[slow crane]

I sent a dm

[astral wedge]

We have a nitrado pvp server and we have 3 notable problems I was hoping to get help with. 1) after each log out and log back in, tribe mates are removed from tribe and the dinos that they tames are gone. Like not even in log. 2) was messed killed when Noone was on server. 3) restoing back up did nothing at all. Didn't roll back the server or restore inventory or undo buildings or return lost dinos. Super frustrated. Please help.

[vocal snow]

How much do you all pay monthly for a private server? Nitrado says it requires 26 slots to run but the packages are 20 slots and it's price is in euros.

[jaunty vortex]

I have 6, including gigantoraptor and Love Ascended 😱

[wise kindle]

Change your region to get Us dollar prices. Is around $17 for a 30 day sub, 20 slots.

[vocal snow]

But, the site says it takes 26 slots because of ur 5. So, I have to buy 2 bundles?

[wise kindle]

are you on the Nitrado app or the site? Cuz I'm only seeing one price when I go to the custom order page.

You can scale from 20 slots and up, and also the length of time

Hint: on the right side of the main Ark order page is a Customize Server button. Click that.

Also be sure you choose a server thats close to your location and not one thats across the country lol.

[vocal snow]

Lol..ok. good advice. I was on the site. This will be my first server so I have a ton to learn....lol

[wise kindle]

Rule number one: dont touch your map for the first hour.

Rule number two: wait 5 minutes after it tells you a map is started or stopped BEFORE making changes. Cuz the interface can lie to you lol.

Rule number three: dont save any changes without taking the map fully down first.

These will get you started 😉

[vocal snow]

You are awesome. Thank you so much

[wise kindle]

Np

[broken halo]

OK I've searched threads with no luck how do you recover a lost character on unofficial and before its stated I am server owner

[distant hearth]

easiest way is to load full server backup to before the charchter was lost

[slow crane]

So i removed all the mods but I still have a restart loop XD

Think my server is corrupt

[uneven flame]

so i still am having issues with whitelists for Custom Cosmetics and Badwords
GUS.INI
CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL"
BadWordListURL="URL"
Does the actual link need to have the quotes in the ini?
and are both seperated by commas?

word, word word, etc
OR
word
word
word
etc

and im using raw.githubusercontent/altairhalo/Test/main/ChatFilterTest
there is https:// and a .com in there just removed as i do not know if this is the correct one to get as everyone says raw file on github.

[snow fox]

anyone else have cryo sickness keep turning itself back on? i turn it off, and the settings are at zero... but it keeps turning itself back on

uncheck the stupid thing, save, looks okay. go into server and it's on again uggghh

[modest cove]

how do i run a server with my frends it kepps crashing?

[tame shard]

why does ark crash when i try to run a non dedicated server?

[stable bobcat]

Hey there guys! We've run into an issue on our unofficial modded server at Nitrado. Our structures are open and unable to be locked, only pincoded. What do? Thanks!

[wise kindle]

Are you hitting save when the map is fully shut down?

[bleak ivy]

cryo-sickness can't be turned off on PvP.

[wise kindle]

Ope yep this ^^

[wise kindle]

Comma separated and it has to be an http: not https - at least that’s what im told 🤷🏻‍♀️

[uneven flame]

what about quotes on it? remove them or leave them?

[wise kindle]

ForceAllStructureLocking=true, note that structures will need to be picked up and put down again to take effect

[wise kindle]

I dont think it uses quotes. I would try it both ways. Note that the url lists only work on pc only clusters. Crossplay is messed up due to too many filters.

[uneven flame]

ohhh that may be the bigger issue im facing then.

[bleak sun]

any idea why two mods I just added to my dedicated server won't load? it says both mods are valid then it doesn't load them when the rest of my mods load

[wise kindle]

Yeah if you are crossplay i wouldnt bother tbh. Till WC removes the MS and Sony filters nothing you do will help.

[wise kindle]

Shutdown and only add one. If it loads, then shutdown and add the next one.

[bleak sun]

ok thank you

[wise kindle]

Forgot to ask; is it a mod map?

[slow crane]

Nope island

My whole things just bugged I put a support ticket in

[wise kindle]

Yeah i guess try some saves. But I got nothing otherwise.

[slow crane]

I tried but the server saves only go back like 3 days and the other backups didn't do anything

[bleak sun]

tried for both, didn't work
the mods are cat ears and ride a dodo they're both cosmetic mods if that means anything

[wise kindle]

Some are broken right now but i noticed the broken cosmetics dont break your map, they just dont work atm. They will likely get fixed next week. Id try them again in a couple days.

[bleak sun]

ok thank you

[wise kindle]

The cat ears one I know is busted atm due to that last WC update. She needs a couple more days to get it fixed.

[merry path]

Does the ASE server require AVX2? The server refuses to run on my 3930k, and I have to run it on my laptop instead with a 4700HQ.

[compact goblet]

does anyone know where to find where/what the small tribes dynamic config url is

[haughty ether]

disablecustomcosmetics parameter does not work....I have read in Nitrado discord its not yet been added to their servers. Just checking in here in-case anyone has it working?

[marsh pilot]

sorry link got removed

[final eagle]

Hey Just checking in, is clustering now working in ASA unofficial? When they announced it can be enabled it was still buggy, just checking to see if they fixed it.

[frigid zealot]

Anyone else having problems with their server restarting constantly after the newest update? It keeps saying deploying update then just restarts. I've had players not able to find the map at all.

[heady wedge]

someone knows how to fix " invalid authentification token " when joining any unoffi server on ase

[peak quartz]

hello so i got my own server and so on but i cant enter creative mode to fix something i do all steps but it keeps saying command not recognized

[distant hearth]

if its asa you will need to do
enablecheats insertsyouradminpasswordhere

then use cheat in front of any command i.e,
cheat gcm
will give creative mode

[spring mirage]

Anyone had issues with nitrado servers overriding/resetting rates? Ours is setting taming, maturation, harvest, stack sizes.. etc. to default on restart

[zenith cobalt]

So, on Survival Evolved, why can we not see bags being dropped? What setting controls loot bags from players dropping their bags?

[blissful trout]

Anyone else not able to place crafting tables from mods? It’s green and it should place but just doesn’t.

[distant hearth]

asa has some option in general now to use official dynamic config files , make sure thats disabled .
also when shutting down server wait atleast 5 mins before making chnages, do the change , save it wait a minute b4 restarting

[distant hearth]

some mods are still broken i believe, can try reinstalling them , might possibly maybe help

[blissful trout]

Do you mean reinstall on my console or the server itself?

[hearty lava]

Reinstalling prob wont help. Ark released new packaging tools for mods. If mods are not repackaged using the new tool released a couple days ago then they will not work.

[distant hearth]

both wudnt hurt .

[hearty lava]

WC is atemping to remove INI commands that give unfair advantages and software holes some are using for hacking.

[distant hearth]

no there removing console commands, most of which shud never been in the game on non admin

[hearty lava]

Yes there is, or at least blocking for the adverage user. They have already blocked or removed quite a few.

[distant hearth]

what they shud done is have a button for clouds on or off, fog on or off and a slider for gras size scale imo

[hearty lava]

They have optimized every quite a bit so far

Clouds nor fog really afffect me that much any longer

[distant hearth]

i dislike them on, if im in a hurry to just do quick metal run , i dont want wait for a sunny day so i can actually see the mountain.
personal thing i guess , i like to have the option

[hearty lava]

Yes but they were meant to make it more realistic. The game looks so good with everything on high. UE5 is a beast.

[wise kindle]

I might be the only one who doesnt run these commands.

[hearty lava]

I don't. Personally I wish all wouldnt it would make PVP far more interesting. Then solos would have a chance against some higher players

[distant hearth]

for pvp its crazy theres any commands

[wise kindle]

Im still shocked ppl didnt expect these. Do ark pvpers not play other games? I gotta know lol. Cuz every UE5 game has realistic weather effects. Why would Ark not have these - they are part of the environment graphical improvements and do make it look incredibly realistic. This evidentially never occurred to the average ark player I guess.

[distant hearth]

seen some on youtube , watched for like 5 mines an there playing it looking like minecraft, no trees , no water just flat blocky shit

[hearty lava]

UE4 didnt and this is from UE4. Its human nature that they prove thier superority by dominating others, even if they are cheating.

[wise kindle]

same, i mean. Just play Roblox ffs lol. Its what they turn it into.

[zenith cobalt]

Looking for help on ASE, Abberation in particular. Everytime a player drops their inventory in a bag, the bag isn't there. Like it never existed. No bag, nothing. Is there a setting I am missing?

[wise kindle]

I think this was answered above.

Oh nope it was the other one.

Check your bag timer settings. Hold on I'll look it up. I'm guessing its zeroed out.

[distant hearth]

only settings i can think are if the spoil timers are set wrong

[spring mirage]

Thanks for the info I will pass this along 🤘😎

[zenith cobalt]

I set the spoil timers pretty high, but we have 2 maps, Fjordur and Abberation. When someone drops their bags on both, there's nothing there.

[amber wagon]

Unc is my good lil kitten

[wise kindle]

GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier might be the one to look at

[distant hearth]

@wise kindle GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier? i think, not sure if the others effect it
nvm u got it too

[wise kindle]

Scales the decomposition time of dropped items, loot bags etc. globally. Higher values prolong the time.

[zenith cobalt]

I have that set at uh

GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier=50

But the bags and dino bags from being dropped are not there.

[distant hearth]

thats are very high setting, might be its breaking it , try =3

[wise kindle]

yeah Ark math does like to roll over

[distant hearth]

certainly keep it under 10

[wise kindle]

that would make bag timers last for a year

[distant hearth]

sometimes with ark if you go over alimit thats no one really knows it defaults to 0

[zenith cobalt]

I'll try that.

I hope it works, cause Im not sure what to tell my players after this. They're getting mad over their loot bags becoming non-existent at this rate.

That still didn't work. And now they don't even have a death beam when they die.

And their bag from dying isn't there either.

[deft stone]

try using under 1 value... Sometimes ark take multiplier like x2, sometimes like divided by 0.5

[zenith cobalt]

Yeah, I tried that as well. Tha bag just doesnt show up.

They go to drop the bag and there's nothing there. Like it just deletes everything.

No bag, no inventory, nothing.

[wise kindle]

Do you have mods that auto pick up items? There are several mods that do this.

[zenith cobalt]

I'm on Playstation ASE.

[wise kindle]

Are you using Beacon? And are you fully shutting down the map?

HIt shutdown
Wait for 5 minutes AFTER it says its shutdown
Make changes
SAVE
Then restart

Cuz the maps always lie to you and say they are shutdown when they arent and then they dont take changes.

Cuz most changes cannot be done live, if the map is still running in anyway, it wont save.

[zenith cobalt]

I shut them down, and just noticed that they still show up in the server list.

So, in that case the changes probably aren't taking.

[wise kindle]

ASE isnt really supported anymore so you shouldnt be getting updates that would break this either.

I have no idea what else would cause that.

[tawdry thicket]

ok guys. I need help. I know this isn't the right place but I'm out of options. My nitrado server has been stuck in a restart loop for three weeks. I've submit 2 support tickets and haven't gotten a response to either of. I've read the forums, asked for help in the discord and watched dozens of youtube "fixes". and stil it's in a restart loop. someone please help.

[hearty lava]

Did you remove all mods and see if that fixes it?

[tawdry thicket]

yes.

[hearty lava]

Then somthing in your config is messed up or nintrado has a faulty server VM.

Delete your config and boot it to generate a default config.

Once it boot one time to generate default configs then change options one by one till it occurs again to identify the faulty option.

Could be something simple as a symbol in the name or a missing ";" somewhere in the config.

Nintra is probably in the hot seat right now because they killed ever modded server for a week. What kind of response did they send to the tickets?

[tawdry thicket]

Zero.

in three weeks I've heard nothing

[hearty lava]

Ok well yeah, then complete the steps above to get it fixed up.

[tawdry thicket]

I will do my best.

[hearty lava]

If you still cant get it working then ask for a refund and try again in a few weeks.

[tawdry thicket]

how do I delete and load default?

[hearty lava]

Use the FTP to manually delete or the nintro GUI should have options to wipe.

[tawdry thicket]

I think i'll just get the refund.

lol I'm just fed up with it

[hearty lava]

Understandable, doing your own server on a host is no easy feat for those who dont have some sort of IT server hosting experience.

[tawdry thicket]

I mean I learned fairly quick and I'm sure if I had my own equipment at home I could learn to host. I catch on quick enough and there are plenty of resources to get me started but I just can't afford it if i'm being honest

anyway. Thanks for the assistance. Maybe I'll try again in few months.

[hearty lava]

No judgement here. NP have a good one.

[deft stone]

we can help you too, its not that hard

search for ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server Setup | Host a FREE private server | Full Guide its a realy good start

on youtube

[tawdry thicket]

Thanks. I have to get a better pc first though

or something I can host on

[deft stone]

the server is not that hard on the pc, i host a server and play on the same computer

[tawdry thicket]

Well I'm on a laptop I got for school and Idt it will run very much. I play on Xbox

[deft stone]

give it a try if you have 16bg of memory it could be ok. No need for a super video card since a server dont use it.

[tawdry thicket]

I have an older pc in my closet with windows 10 on it. but it hasn't been powered on in like 5 years

[hearty lava]

It will be far more difficult for you to host on a PC at home than use a hosted service.

You will have to know about windows firewalls, and router port forwarding. Not to mention batch file creation for launching the server.

[deft stone]

the hardest part is to configure the firewall (windows and router) once those done the software (Beacon) can help alot

[hearty lava]

Most of that is handled with the hosted services with simple GUI input

True but there is far more to conisder when self hosting. All im saying.

[tawdry thicket]

yea but I can figure that stuff out. I've been forwarding ports for Open NAT since i was like 13 just so I can play cod

[old widget]

Does anyone know how to fix the space issue with mods? I am transferring from one map@to another and it’s been about 30m of downloading and reinstalling mods.

[deft stone]

same thing for ARK. you will be ok. couples of port to open all described into the video i gave to you. If you want a copy of my configs for starting let me know

[tawdry thicket]

Thanks I'll keep that handy. just dm'd it to myself

[wise kindle]

If you are jumping mod maps and both have totally different mods, there isnt much you can do about that. If they are on the same cluster, they need to pick a lane lol. Cuz you cant have everything. Its either one mod map or none - else its just removing and reinstalling the mod maps over and over again.

[old widget]

Same mods except the map mod itself.

[wise kindle]

yep, thats the way it is. Mod maps are huge and unless you remove the other mods and only have the map mods, this is how it has to be.

You likely only have 10 gigs of mod space.

If one map has 5 gigs of mods and a 3 gig map mod (= 8 gigs)

and another map has the same 5 gigs of mods and a DIFFERENT 3 gig map mod (also = 8 gigs)

Then you gotta remove one for the other every single time. Its a physics issue, both maps cant occupy the same space lmao.

[zenith cobalt]

Anyone with cluster knowledge (Rather coding for the maps) could you please DM me. My private map, hosted by Nitrado, doesn't have player loot bags, like how you drop your inventory and there's a bag, well mine doesn't and I'm starting to stress out over it because I can't find the setting.

It's got nothing to do with Global decay

Because tha'ts been set to 1 and there is still no bags.

[old widget]

Ok. We’re working on removing redundant mods anyways but surprised with the size

[old widget]

Let me check because I don’t have any issues with bags here.

I think there might be a setting

[wise kindle]

Definately look at the mod sizes. Some are INSANELY large for what they provide. Those need optimization and if they arent being worked on to do this I'd just kick them to the curb.

[old widget]

Thanks for the help. Always appreciate our helpers

[zenith cobalt]

It's for Survival Evolved.
On Playstation.

I don't know what I've done, but my payers are pretty upset about their bags not being there when they've dropped their inventory.

[distant hearth]

dm a copy of both ini files if you want , i can check through an see if anything weird going on. list of mods if any be good too

[zenith cobalt]

It's Evolved, so no mods on Playstation.

[wise kindle]

What is your GlobalSpoilingTimeMultiplier ?

[distant hearth]

if no mods got be a simple setting issue imo

[wise kindle]

Also, is this enabled? ClampItemSpoilingTimes

[zenith cobalt]

They're set 1 and false.

[wise kindle]

Lookign up ASE spoil/decay inis atm, theres several old ones

Eh I got nothing else then

Id just start telling them that until you figure this out, dont drop your bag. Drop items into a box or tame. But if those settings arent changing things I dont know what the issue is.

[distant hearth]

it has to be a ini setting issue imo
have someone double check it, its so easy to get duplicate settings or one just off etc ..
copy paste into notepad file so it .txt an use ctrl f to search

[wise kindle]

If you are using just Beacon, and not adding/subtracting settings outside of Beacon, it should be fine.

But if this isnt working I'd be deep diving my inis looking for duplicates too.

[lunar cloud]

Hey folks , have any of you noticed gasoline going missing in your generator over time ?

I am not sure if its the stacking setting causing it, but mine is set to be able to stack 5k

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Gasoline_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5000, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

I put enough gaso in for 300+ days, logged in the other day it only had about 200.
Then I bumped it to 1000 last week and today it only has 90

It seems since the last patch note where they improved dino eating algorithms. Not sure if this is a new bug or something

Another thing I noticed, I allow setting to stack hide to 1000. I noticed my vault had many slots revert to default 200 per stack.

[wise kindle]

This can happen if your map lost its ini setting for a bit, that would cause the stack to revert to official and eat the rest. So it would have shrunk each stack permanently.

Or your FuelConsumptionIntervalMultiplier reset somehow.

I'm betting the setting got lost and it got eaten tho.

[lunar cloud]

Yeah its super weird, ive used the ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity for stacking since ASE and never noticed this.
Will put some gaso in a box stacked and monitor it to see if its the stacking or the generator 😕

[misty thorn]

Does anyone know if there's a config line I have to put in to get the Custom Structure Skins to work on Nitrado private servers? It's still showing as "not yet usable" and I can't seem to install mods that use it. They just don't show up.

[distant hearth]

you self host rigght?

make the ini files read only, asa keeps overwriting them randomly

[distant hearth]

i think you add the customcomestic line to gus.ini and it activate sthe official whitelist

[misty thorn]

Thank you! I'll give this a go.

[distant hearth]

CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL"

[wise kindle]

Some of the cosmetic mods got busted with that last update, so they wont work atm regardless.

You do need to add the mod numbers via an ini entry that points to an http (not secured socket) site with a text file that lists them out.

The approved list can be modified by modifying the following option in GameUserSettings.ini
[ServerSettings]
CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL" <- add the path to your URL here

[distant hearth]

kinda weird, but from what i told, that line makes it use the official list

for custom list you need your own web link

[misty thorn]

so if I actually use "URL" it'll point ot the official one? that's weird, but I'll try it first

will that change the tab showing as 'not usable yet' though?

[wise kindle]

Its weird, I didnt add the entry, but I could use the glass mod - but it removes it when the map reboots.

Im guessing its needed to keep the stuffs? Idk

[misty thorn]

urk

[distant hearth]

honestly i duuno. its typical wc an give half info

[wise kindle]

Barely half lol. It feels like everything we find out is trial and error.

[distant hearth]

hey heres how to cluster use clusterid=
yep wont work for 99% people as u need the diroverride or to use altsavedirectory

[wise kindle]

lmao, ope

[misty thorn]

i'm not even trying clusters yet...i'll settle for getting one server working consistently lmao

[distant hearth]

clustering is easy enough, but its still buggy asf , wc side , they got do something about the map not always taking player id to its save after transfer

[wise kindle]

btw here is the results of my transfer testing so far:

Transfers work but there are a couple issues.
They work fine if EVERYTHING is enabled. But there is this:

No blocking items or tames etc. If you block items or tames you get transfer errors (you are carrying items that cannot be transferred to this server, please drop items... etc. On naked characters)

Meaning everything needs to be false here:

notributedownloads=false <--- verified correct for ASA
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False

If any of these are set to true, you get the error telling you to drop items.

Also, DO NOT use the upload tabs for anything perishable. It will eat:

• Eggs, especially fert eggs
  it spoils away some from stacks, if your stack is large you will only be missing a few. If it is small you may lose the whole stack.
• Recipes, especially unstacked
• pretty much anything with timer is effected

If you transfer these items on your body you are fine and will go thru with no issues with a complete inventory. The perishable issues seem to only apply to uploaded items into the obelisk inventory tab.

[distant hearth]

i tried tagging skittle when he was answering a few questions , but no response

thats alot testing , gg for doing that, heklp a few out im certain

[wise kindle]

wish I could pin that

[distant hearth]

if you catch bee around, ask her , im sure she will

[wise kindle]

I'll try

[distant hearth]

its valuable info

[wise kindle]

I did NOT test transfers across modes tho. Thats just PVE to PVE. I dont have PVP maps to use lol.

[distant hearth]

it will be same, game doesnt care if pvp or pve as far as transfers concerned

[wise kindle]

Thats my thought as well.

[distant hearth]

i shud prob edit that , the game shud not care if pvp or pve lolz
but with all the weird bugs , who the hell knows

[wise kindle]

They have been making more pve verses pvp changes to the game, so i guess its not out of the realm of possiblilty. Like even the glass cosmetic is mode based now.

[distant hearth]

yea but thats just differnt url for the whitelist
but again , who the hell knows since no concrete info haha

[wise kindle]

I'm not testing that lmao. Nope.

[distant hearth]

lolz

[lunar cloud]

Yeah i self host, my directory is owned by a steam user. Do you just set the two ini files as readonly before starting up the server and that is sufficient ?

[distant hearth]

oh ermm , how you seeting serve rup, through the steam app, or through stmcmd?

[lunar cloud]

I use linux , so steamcmd for setup, i create an unprivileged user as steam so it does not run as root , what I do is copy my ini files to the expected directory before server starts , so i keep my original ini somewhere else
Then i give steam user full ownership of the game server directory.
I have seen folk recommend to set ini as read only as the server tends to mess with them. Thats kind of why i keep a copy elsewhere as source of truth and then cp them across to the target folder on every startup

[distant hearth]

actually shudnt matter , set them as read only in properties with the server stopped,
just remeber that you did that if u ever want make changes, as you will have change back to read an write
too alter them

ah sry i have no idea on linux commands, but id assume there is one to make a file read only

[lunar cloud]

yeah i just give full ownership to steam on the entire game directory.
I will add a few lines just to mark those ini files as readonly and give it a test

[distant hearth]

yea , works on windows, having themset readonly ,
only one time i had a issue updatin server when they added lines to the ini . so now i switch them back to read an write b4 i update ,
bit of a hassle but better than it keep over writing ini

[wise kindle]

In Nitrado the game likes to reset our settings as well. Glad we arent alone.

But the clue is usually when all our stacks flip to official.

[lunar cloud]

It kind of makes sense that the server messing with the ini is a root cause. as I noticed my 1000 stacked hide going back to 200 before

This issue seems magnified since the recent "improvements" to dino feeding

[wise kindle]

Its super annoying cuz I have to fix it and then rollback to get my players resources back

[misty thorn]

huh. Now my server is unavailble and Nitrado has 'been informed' and I am to be patient

Insert muppet flail gif here

[wise kindle]

ope they messing with stuff on the backend again?

[misty thorn]

no idea. their web service is pretty spotty.

[misty thorn]

yeah, nothing is working. i can use character and dino cosmetics, but the structure one is still disabled

[north forge]

Hi,
I just setup my dedicated server on a linux vm .
Currently have ragnarok map but I also want to add Crystal Isles.
Does anyone have a 101 for this usecase?

[hearty lava]

Each map will need to be a separate dedicated instance. Not VM, but the VM must have resources for running multiple maps.

Im assuming your on ASE, so you will also need to reasearch clustering

[north forge]

not using ASE

[hearty lava]

Hmmm, wasn't aware the other maps were ready for use on ASA

[olive talon]

Crystal Isles/Ragnarok is not available on ASA, either as a mod or an official map. Nor is the dino mod for Crystal Isles, which is why they said you're on Ark Survival Evolved (ASE).

[west plinth]

can anyone tell me why some unoffical servers have an icon to the lefft of the session name?

[distant hearth]

it shows if there using battleye anti cheat or not , icon means it on

[zenith cobalt]

At this rate, I'll pay someone to come code my two maps for me so that way I know I'm doing them right. I hate that I can't get it right, and I tried wiping one to see if maybe taking it back to it's original settings would work and now it's stuck in an infinite loop of restarting.

[distant hearth]

boot loops is just one those things, 9 out 10 its not an ini issue just mods or a corrupt save ,
no need to pay ,
1 - ask or google whats the problem
2- i highly recomed beacon ark omni to help with ini settings
3- if u get really stuck , dm me the ini files , preferably copied into noted pad an as a .txt file , i will look over them see if anything weird for free,
but it might take 12 hours or so for a response , if im at work, sleeping etc

[west plinth]

thanks for that information

[distant hearth]

you can pay someone to fix it / look at them, but what happens next week/update when it happens again ...
your in the same boat without a paddle
if hosting a server is not really for you/ too much effort, i suggest find one to join that suits what you want

[west plinth]

message me , maybe i can help

[zenith cobalt]

I had one map just fine.

Then I clustered Abb to it, and it's just gone downhill since.

[distant hearth]

clustering shud not cause issues , nitrado or self host ?
if self host an both maps run off the same .exe you need to use ?altsavedirectory=

[north forge]

I'm using steamcmd and run ragnarok currently, i want to add another map on same

So I assume I need to open another ports for the new map?

basically run 2 instances?

[wise kindle]

Is it pvp? Cuz i know you have to jump through some other settings to whitelist that on pvp. Its mainly a pve cosmetic.

[stiff tulip]

is there a good place to go, for help/advice when setting up ASE dedicated server stuff? or is that stuff handled here as well?

[distant hearth]

most people here can help with ase too, just give as much info as you can, who hosts it, what issue you have etc

[stiff tulip]

cool. it's mostly a Q around, is it possible at all to make ASE run on a LAN only, with no WAN connection. it maybe as simple as it won't work without the WAN, and if that's the case then so be it. but I really want it working without the WAN, on a separate LAN.

so far I've not been able to make it work proper with the modem turned off. my modem and router are separate hardware pieces so really all the modem does is open the WAN connection.

[distant hearth]

this link gives some info on server ports ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

there is a link from me in pinned messages that will help with clustering two server

[distant hearth]

ok i am not good good at network stuff, but yes it shud work , however you will have to join the server using the server ip adress and port ,
using console command ,
open ipadress:port
i.e
open 196.192.164.22:7777

[hearty lava]

196.x is not a routable IP Youre gonna have issues if you try and use that.

[stiff tulip]

OH... 'f me. I totally forgot about trying the console to connect. 😛 thanks. ima give it a try.

[olive talon]

It was an example IP, not a literal IP

[distant hearth]

it was an example of an ip adress for the purpose of showing the command input .
the post states to use the servers ip adress an port

[hearty lava]

Oh my bad loosly paying attention.

[deft stone]

yes its possible but you will need to use cheat Open IP:Port?Password cause it will not be listed on the server list

[stiff tulip]

fair, and thanks.

[distant hearth]

since its on a local network , i wudnt use a password
i believ it can be buggy or not even work using a password

[deft stone]

worst case, setup a white list

[stiff tulip]

still, I can drop the password if I"m not letting it hit the wan. that's fair enough. alright, back upstairs for some testing.

[deft stone]

but realy not needed

[misty thorn]

Nope. PVE. I put in a ticket. I think I may need to reinstall.

[north forge]

Does anyone use DoExit to refresh server ?

So it restarts with e.g a system service

[distant hearth]

cheat doexit , shud save the world an shut the server down

[fringe grotto]

Okay so, im trying to play Xbox One X Ark evolved right, been playing all day with game pass and all of a sudden it says I need game pass to play.

Ive got game pass, I can use ANY other game pass game too, and been playing all day and suddenly it just stops working. Yes ive restarted, hard reset, etc.

Just says unable to complete action, please check account privileges, like wtf

[stable bobcat]

Good evening all! When adding to the Gameusersettings do we add to the top or bottom of the file?

[hearty lava]

Depends on what your adding. However, bottom of the file if the command doesnt fit in any current cat's on the file

[stable bobcat]

We want to add this;

Gameusersettings: ForceAllStructureLocking=True

[hearty lava]

So put it in any category with similar commands.

[stable bobcat]

I think his main question is does it go at the top of the list of similar commands or the bottom?

[hearty lava]

Doesnt matter but I say bottom. Just remeber where you put it in case it makes some mess up.

[raw wagon]

So getting a little stuck with adding custom cosmetics, does anyone have a clue what the URL part is meant to mean here CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL" or is it literally just as is

[scenic bloom]

if i make fenrir spawn naturally via config, will it be tameable via knockout?

[wise kindle]

If it doesnt take effect at the bottom, move it up into the large server settings section.

[wise kindle]

Its a knockout but will likely despawn once de rendered.

[scenic bloom]

despawn even after I tame it?

[wise kindle]

No i mean if you are spawning it for players to tame. If you are just spawning it for yourself just use gmsummon commands.

[scenic bloom]

Oh no Im just adding it to the spawn containers so it spawns naturally

[peak quartz]

ok so that super cry storage mod is not same in my server as it is in my brother server?

[north forge]

Any1 recommend me a baaic mod I can install to immediatly see if it works?

[haughty pollen]

Anyone else having issues with Gigantoraptor never actually spawning in?

[pure haven]

hello does anyone know why i cant join my server using command 'open ip:port' but i can find server in server list and join there. server doesnt have any password or anything?

[distant hearth]

my best guess is you have the ip adress or port wrong, look the server name up on battlemetrics website and it wtll show the ip an port its using

[pure haven]

oh yeah it was a wrong port even tho its a port my hosting service was showing me. thats weird

[distant hearth]

if its your own servier , put the mod early up in the loading order,
i.e love ascended, then gigantoraptor mod

[distant hearth]

sometimes they show another port on hosting services ,called gameport

[pure haven]

ah well good i tried it out myself and notice it was wrong

[naive panther]

does anyone know what settings are available for a SOTF server? The wiki shows old settings that do not work

talking about ASA SOTF btw

[spiral geyser]

Has anyone been able to change the settings for Gigantoraptor on a server

Specifically for plucking their feathers

Waiting 24h is unbearable

@ Me plz whenever you respond, i have this muted lol

[fickle sinew]

Get mor gigarraptors. We have five and breeding more. 24 hours for that huge increase above 50 percent to put a stat in worth the wait

[spiral geyser]

yes but right now its if you have the stat you want on your dino. if your best tamed stat is oxygen, then your feathers are gonna be oxygen only.

[humble thicket]

Is it just me or did console get more mod space 🧐

[naive panther]

@manic marsh sorry for the tag, especially cause I am unsure if you are the right person to contact, but this is somehow mod related. I am trying to host a SOTF tournament and set up a modded server on my root and so far it works fine. I can not change the options from GameUSerSettings.ini to i.e. set the tribe size. I followed the wiki and currently have this in my gus.ini:

EnableDeathTeamSpectator=true
MaxPlayersPerTribe=2
MinPlayersToQuickStartMatch=20
MinTribesToStartMatch=10
PreventBosses=0
PreventDinoSupplyCrates=0
PreventRetameBoss=1
PreventSpectator=0
PreventTribes=0
TimeToQuickStartMatch=120
TimeToStartMatch=600```
Any settings in there are completely ignored by the server. I already tried [SOTF] as group header, but that did not work either. SO far I did not find anything in the DevKit and even after weeks noone had an answer in the ARK related Discords (Modding, here, Gameservershub etc.) so this is my last straw. Can you at least point me in some direction where to look? This would be really awesome

[obsidian ravine]

Can someone who has custom cosmetics working on unofficial DM me. Or answer here if you have the quick answer....I havent added anything to my config yet so my understanding was that it would match official. However when I right click on the custom cosmetic slot I dont even get the Custom Cosmetic option on the list the last menu item is split stack. Do unofficials have to maintain their own whitelist or can they somehow opt into officials? For clarification Ive added no config allowing or denying Ive just installed the mod on the client and tried to use them.

[distant hearth]

The approved list can be modified by modifying the following option in GameUserSettings.ini under the this header thats already there
[ServerSettings]
CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL"

if you just add that line , i think it just uses the official list

[rain bobcat]

can anyone help me with getting my server launched, i have a picture of the command box so it must be in dms, the server wont even show up on my own machine

[rugged moth]

Is anyone having issue with SCS mod in Ascended where the Terminals are not picking up eggs and babies while all players are offline?

[wise kindle]

I dont use that mod. What do they say in the mod discord?

[rugged moth]

Nothing so far

[wise kindle]

I'd ask in there tbh its your best bet for an answer.

[rugged moth]

Trying to, but the creator is not there. Posted a bug there so we'll see. I was hoping someone had the issue already and might know how to resolve

[chrome hamlet]

How can I get players to join my server?

[wise kindle]

Create advertisements and advertise in reddit, facebook and discord channels that allow it.

[lime dust]

Hi I’m for someone/people who are interested in making mods for a server I’m starting up. Message me if you’d like to help / be apart of the team

[stiff tulip]

Just out of curiosity, can you specify a different location for your saved arks in SP? or is that hard coded?

[slim mortar]

How do I turn off download data

[wanton glen]

Anyone else having issues with there server being stuck in a crash loop I rolled ours back to a previous save it starts to load and then says server 0.00 sec and waits for about 1 min and shuts itself off I also tried removing all mods and starting it same thing

[deft stone]

its fixed, you cant change it

[stiff tulip]

thanks, and bummer.

[gloomy trellis]

is structure decay still not working?

[arctic basin]

hello ! what is garbage collection triggered please ?

[robust nymph]

No idea of you've found an answer or even if what I'm about to say is what ya looking for haha. There's a section up top in your inventory under the c for crafting, that looks like an eye. That's where I find the custom stuff. It's all filtered and stuff. Using it from the cosmetic tab is ass and hard to use.

[pure haven]

just leaving "URL" not gonna do anything. gotta add a proper path or url address to txt file with mods id. found this guide:

1: Open GameUserSettings.ini 2: add this line to the GUS.ini file: CosmeticWhitelistOverride="Your-Site.TLD/Path/To/CustomCosmeticsWhiteList/file.txt"(perhaps it also works with file path, haven't tested) 3: Inside this file.txt you add the Project IDs of the Custom Cosmetics you want to add, in this case it is 975527 4: Make sure to save both files and restart your server; from now on you should be able to add new custom cosmetics to file.txt without having to restart your server

there is also url for official servers custom cosmetics but i cant post link here

[naive panther]

can you send that link via PM? I am looking into this atm, too, and for now I wiant to allow what officials have

[distant hearth]

this is good to know, i knew how to do custom, was told just adding the line , for some reason made it work , also wud like actual url, if you dont mind dm me it , thank you

[naive panther]

and is it going to [ServerSettings]? Can't find that setting in wiki

[distant hearth]

yes

[naive panther]

do I need to add these mods to my startup parameters aswell? I remember something about mods not being dynamic yet

server startup params oc

[distant hearth]

not with the custom csmetic stuff, there client side, the server just has them already activated if client has them

[broken halo]

It's a management of sorts kinda like a cache dump is what I was told either way it is normal so no worries 👍

[naive panther]

I added the official URL to my gus.ini now and when logged in I can see icons for custom cosmetics (player, dino and structure) but how can I use a cosmetic from one of the mods?

[naive panther]

oh I see, I was missing quotes, sorry

still only see the generic icons, nothing from the mods. Is there any way to verify the setting is working? Do I need to activate mods on my client somehow?

[distant hearth]

just need to have them downloaded client side , then have what ever is needed in inventory to use the mod armour ,helmet etc ,

[naive panther]

I have all the cosmetic mods installed that are allowed on official, have a complete set of armor and still only have generic icons. I tried right clicking but I can only equip i.e. the armor icon, not applying it to my flak chestpiece. When equipping it there is nothing visible

maybe this is a layer 8 problem, never used cosmetic mods so far ^^

[pure haven]

yeah same. i tried to add url to that official txt file but still nothing works

not sure how to get a proper path for txt on my server

@distant hearth do you host your server with nitrado? maybe they have custom cosmetics integrated by default

[distant hearth]

no, i just have a couple test servers on my pc that i was playing with , getting ready for when more maps out etc .

try leaving it with just the letters url, i presume this wud make it ignore looking for the list . Thats how someone else told me to make it work, i havent tested it .

The other way wud to test is to just point at a .txt file in the drive and add the mod ids in seperate lines like you wud with admin whitelisting etc

1111111
22222
33333
44444

[pure haven]

@distant hearth im using a server hosting service so im not sure how to make a proper path if i create a txt there

[distant hearth]

i wud assume you have acess to the where ever the server is stored on the hosting service , since you needed it to set up the server in the first place

[naive panther]

according to this Discord comma seperated is already the right way to do this

[distant hearth]

good point, it may need to be that way for a txt file

[naive panther]

if we could somehow verify that the server is even loading the file...

[distant hearth]

yea sry i cant test nothing at moment as having a fight with my computer lol

[naive panther]

lol, all good, checking SP now, having the same issue

I know I had the glass walls working in SP

and when I opened the inventory it showed me glass walls and I "unequipped" that skin

but how do I chose a skin in the first place? xD

according to youtube you right click and have a menu entry "Custom Cosmetics", I dont have that at all

neither in SP nor on server

[deft stone]

I think if you leave an invalid URL it just default to accept them all

[distant hearth]

this was what i thought tbh

[naive panther]

is it possible custom cosmetics are just broken atm? Asked one of our Admins and he said he used them a lot but cannot get them to work now

[deft stone]

not impossible, i cant see any giganto rapotor on my server, but cosmetics are working

[distant hearth]

the mod needs to be high up in loading order

[deft stone]

i put it first in my list on my server

[distant hearth]

that what worked for others that cudnt get it to spawn :/

[deft stone]

i have the love evolved mod still active, i think it might cause a conflict

[distant hearth]

shudnt do , everyone has it activate or in passive pretty much

[deft stone]

i didnt dinowipe cause i have a cute spino i want to tame

[native stag]

hello guyz, i am trying to find out how to remove the corpse from inactive player. Can someone tell me how to do so ? thanks

[deft stone]

PvE server i presume?

[olive talon]

If you can see the corpse, just use cheat destroymytarget

[deft stone]

if you want to clean your server : in the saved games folder, delete all profiles that arent active. You need to know the id of the active one...

[severe pawn]

On a server where we have the island, we put the Svartalfheim map in cluster. The next day about 6 users logged in... even on the island... it went out to create a character... (with the character physically in its base) does anyone have an idea?? thank you

[deft stone]

if you have no password or whitelist set, the server is open to everyone by default

[oak mural]

What is the gigantoraptor mod ID?

[deft stone]

MOD ID 975282 : Gigantoraptor

[oak mural]

Thanks

[languid plank]

still having crashes with the Gigantoraptor mod unfortunately

[hearty helm]

Hello, I'm not able to configure my server because Nitrado's web panel is missing some of the launch options. I tried to open 2 tickets: In the the first one they did not understand what I was asking for and in second one they just told me these launch options are not supported yet.
These are the launch options I need to configure my server:
"-AutoDestroyStructures"
"-culture=<LANG>" (it's set to English, without possibility to change it)
"-NoTransferFromFiltering" ✅ (this one they finally added it! I saw that this morning)
Also having these launch options would be nice (I just think they are less important so that can wait):
"-DisableCustomCosmetics"
"-UseDynamicConfig"
"-CustomNotificationURL=<URL>"
"-NoWildBabies"
I'm posting this here because I've been waiting for these options since 4 months and now I'm getting desperate. Hopefully someone who has more direct contact with Nitrado's development team can tell them about these options. Thank you.

[hasty hatch]

Guys how much ram do i need for a server with 25+ mods for ASA?

[distant hearth]

ase or asa ? it will also depend on how many players? how heavy are the mods, minor or total overhauls etc

[hasty hatch]

Sorry ASA

will edit

[distant hearth]

player count roughly ? type of mods , roughly ?

[hasty hatch]

not sure but lets say 10-15

[distant hearth]

id say 12-16gb be fine

might get away with less , but better to play it safe an have no lag

[hasty hatch]

i m at a provider he has 15gb ram and i have 21 mods they said i need to remove mods or upgrade
the server spec are:
● Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4.7GHz
● Unlimited CPU Usage
● 15GB RAM
● 2Gbps Uplink
● DDoS Protection up to 2Tb/s

21mods

it is ddr5 i think

[distant hearth]

shud be fine , but it is alot mods, so it can cause issues,
early acess game an lots mods , headache

what problem you have ?

[hasty hatch]

it fils the ram slowly to max

and then it gets stuck

[distant hearth]

have the server restart once a day

[hasty hatch]

yes i have

[burnt moon]

Anyone having issues with a nitrado servicer not recognizing that you have it set to "no decay" for structures and/or dinos?

[hasty hatch]

but it fills in like 1h i think, the weird thing is when we play it dosent seem to do that.

only when no players

[distant hearth]

not sure then sry .. test it no mods, see if does same ?

[fierce narwhal]

where do i put my mating setting game.ini or the gameusersetting.ini i would just put it in the game.ini file but im hosting it using a pterodactyl panel and it only has a gameusersetting.ini file

[hasty hatch]

ok thank you

[deft stone]

if i remember well there is in both files... you can use Beacon to help with that

[distant hearth]

yea most of em go in game.ini iirc

[jade sandal]

Is there a list for all mods that work on official?

[distant hearth]

beacon is a godsend for breeding/mating settings

[deft stone]

i just remember there is one or 2 options in gameusersettings.ini ... confusing

[fierce narwhal]

do you need a nitrado server to us it?

[wise kindle]

Best way is to look at the download list when you go to join an official map tbh.

[olive talon]

Not at all! You only need Nitrado for the direct import.

[deft stone]

no its just an helper program

[fierce narwhal]

ok thanks for the help

[distant hearth]

no its a program can get, the free version great .
alter the settings, press export an u can see what it changed in the ini

[deft stone]

couple of settings from the gameusersettings.ini ...

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=2
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=2
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=2
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.5

[distant hearth]

naw there all game.ini , im like 99% anyway without actually checking

[deft stone]

think your are ok... i realy need to clean my configs files XD

i have them since 6-7 years...

[distant hearth]

lolz

[native wave]

How I was on ASE. When ASA came along I cleaned them up

[distant hearth]

i used to be like that , till you try fault find....
then im like nope , they got clean an minimal as possible

[wise kindle]

This is what I did too
Tho I'm convinced there is a still alot of code I'm using that isnt used in ASA but they just arent telling us

[deft stone]

it could be fun if they add a save option on the server console to save a clean set of configs..

[worldly mantle]

Can someone help me on the Svartalfheim map, every time I enter or change the map I get that I have to create a new character. Someone, why could this be the problem?

[wise kindle]

Single player?

[worldly mantle]

No, it is not official with the island group.

[late estuary]

Is there an admin command that can give engram points one at a time? I know you can force learn certain ones or learn them all. I just want some extra points for whatever

The more mods we add the fewer points we have to go around

[native stag]

this option might corrupt the save and i dont want this to happen

[lunar cloud]

There is a config option called OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints , not sure its available for ASA, but you can specify the points to gain per level.
Example: You need this line per level. (More info in Ark WIKI)

OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=5 #gives 5 points at level 1
OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=10 #gives 10 points at level 2

That may help give little more points per level than official so you can unlock more things etc.
Not sure about a command

[late estuary]

Great solution! I do think I came across that before. I'll take a look!

[lunar cloud]

The ark wiki has all server options and tick box for compatibility between ASA and ASE
Some options are still marked as ? for ASA but it does work, so may be worth a test if you can spin up a quick throwaway server

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

[late estuary]

Thanks man!

[fluid token]

anyone know how i get my eosid in ark?

[humble thicket]

dinos on my unofficial server are not laying fertilized eggs. Does anyone know if this is a bug and what can I do to get it fixed? It started happening just today, the last update on the server was yesterday when we added the gigantoraptor.

[slim mortar]

So I need help on my partner's server everyone bed respawn is normal but mines 30 mins even if I login

[deft stone]

hooo for those who the cosmetics are not working anymore... there is a new button into the inventory... click on it you will have a list of avalaible cosmetics 🙂

[hasty hatch]

The server ASA i have with 23 mods is having a weird issue with the ram, when there is no players the ram increases slowly until riches max and it gets stuck at:
cli: auth: rcon: dial tcp : connect: connection refused
waiting for rcon connection...

The host provider spec are
● Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4.7GHz
● Unlimited CPU Usage
● 19GB RAM
● 2Gbps Uplink
● DDoS Protection up to 2Tb/s

Pls help someone, i have been on this issue couple of days now

[tepid swallow]

I am interested in hearing if there is any answer to the question above me too. Buy I also want to ask how well I can host a server assuming I am using a router rather than fiberconverter directly but I cannot use static IP due to my ISP not providing it as a service to private persons. Can I just skip it or how does it affect my hosting capabilities. Would I have to restart the server each time the ip refreshes? I will look at my router some more because it did mention something that sounded like static ip but it does confuse me if it is something the ISP is supposed to hand me rather than a toggle setting in the router.

[lunar cloud]

ASA server generally uses between 6-10GB and remains there. If it's constantly increasing it sounds like a mod has a memory leak more than likely

[hasty hatch]

I think i found what is causing the issue, looks like the Human NPC mod had no limit to spawning villagers now i set it to 200 so i will see if that change anything 🤓

[pure haven]

Should i be worrying if i see ImportText (DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers): Bad quoted string at: every time i start a server. Im trying to reduce spawn for maewings with DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=”S-MilkGlider_Character_BP_C",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.1,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=false,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.1) cause i dont have Beacon omni. Am i doing something wrong or should i just ignore that warning?

[distant hearth]

the server is telling you that the line is wrong so it cant load it ,
lemme see if i can find how shud look

try dropping the quotations wrapping the dino name tag

[deft stone]

or just look at the first quote its not a standard one

” vs "

[distant hearth]

good catch, i missed that

[pure haven]

oh true didn't notice that 😅

also is it ok to put blueprint path instead on nametag cause i dont know name tags for modded dinos

[distant hearth]

the example i looked at dint use quoatations, so two ways for your to try now

[pure haven]

yeah it was without quotations cause it probably was using proper dino tag

like Allo for Allosaurus instead of Allo_Character_BP_C

maybe i should ask mod devs for tags then

[distant hearth]

possibly ,

[deft stone]

quotation are used when there is space into the string. as they are none you should be ok 🙂

[pure haven]

ok thanks i will try without quotations

[marble condor]

Has anyone else experienced that loot crates in caves does'nt spawn after the latest update? Im on a unofficial server. Also another thing I noticed just now as I logged in was that my Gigantoraptors is not adult as they should be, they're just at 40%. Im on a rented Nitrado server and never had this issue before. Almost seems like the server has been in a complete stasis over the night. It has been up and running.

[distant hearth]

the only time ive seen loot crates acting up is if the setting to enable random ones is used .
brandomsupplycrates=true iirc in the ini , not sure if nitrado has a tick box option for them in general settings !!

is possible the server rolled back a bit on a daily restart ? with the other symptoms

[marble condor]

Ok ty, I dont have this setting brandomsupplycrates=true in any of my .ini files so as long as it is not a newly added standard feature on nitrado servers it should not be on.

[distant hearth]

it wont be standard , so thats good you dont have it

[deft stone]

I had this kind of problem in my single player world, thats why i made a dedicated server at first place. Can it have a link with the stasis options?

if its not render distance of someone it wont move/spawn...

[marble condor]

I guess that could be possible, I think I need to monitor this peticular issue a couple of days to check. Its almost as the server was in hibernation otherwise and hibernation should not be a server thing unless Nitrado is experiementing with server performance.

[marble condor]

Yeah in single player everthing shuts down when you close the game as it should. Exactly as you say that is one of the reasons to play on a server in the first place to make progress even when you're not online. If this is not a 1 time issue I would not be surprised at all if its Nitrado trying to pack in more servers on the hardware they use by lowering the server performance of the servers that are up right now.

[marble condor]

Hmm, don't know actually, I have'nt tampered with anything stasis related so unless Nitrado or Wildcard has made some changes without announcing it, it should not be that either.

[arctic perch]

Hi Folks. Wanted to lean on your expertise here.
I've got a server I'm hosting, but when I launch the server I get the nasty error Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (serverUnreachable)
If I remove the mods list from my .bat file and start the server, things work fine, but the moment I add even a single mod, no matter which one, I get the same error.
Anyone else experience this issue and find a way to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[hazy silo]

Anyone else having issues with character transfers on unofficial ?

[distant hearth]

where the server is stored on the disk drive, go to ,

shootergame\binaries\win64\shootergame

in there is prob two folders, mods and modsuserdata

delete both , then add 1 mod using the start parameter
-mods=xxxxx
where xxxx is the mod id u wish to add .
Test to see if it works

[distant hearth]

what sort of ussues, nitrado server or self hosted ?

[hazy silo]

nitrado, can't download characters is seems.
uploading and joining another map works but stuck on downloading

[distant hearth]

The servers clustered must share the same , cluster id.
They must also have the settings correct for each server ,
especially check that notributedownloads=false

[wise kindle]

Ive had 2 players with this so far. No idea why this is a thing. Their characters are just stuck in the ob.

Other players are fine.

[distant hearth]

did the two players in question have more than one char in upload?

[wise kindle]

They did. And I dont get it.

[distant hearth]

for some reason it breaks when u do this, i dunno why yet

[hazy silo]

oka that no tributedownloads, might be it, i'll try disabling tha t

[distant hearth]

mmhmm that blocks all downloads

[wise kindle]

Yeah and I dont see an easy way to resolve it.

[distant hearth]

i think its an issue wc side, with the new eos id system.
For what ever reason , it glitches an just says nope i dunno which char to download so i refuse to do anything

[hazy silo]

cheers dude

[deft stone]

they can maybe have 2 char if they upload one create a new one and upload the second one 😦

one trick could be to ask EVERYONE to empty the transfert and delete the cluster files

[wise kindle]

Oh THAT will go over well lol.

I'll just level a character up, its fine lol. Its happening no more often than the normal lost character issue from ASE tbh. Its not that bad.

[hazy silo]

right lol

[distant hearth]

it wudnt work anyway, as the players in question wud lose there chars , since there currently stuck in the cluster directory , not on a map the data wud get deleted

might aswell just delete there specific eos id out of the directory , but same result, lost char

[wise kindle]

yeah whats weird is the ob will only show one character, but you know there are 2 there. Its just a really weird bug.

[distant hearth]

i suspect there well aware of it since it happens on officials all time

an interesting test wud be to move the broken .arkprofile from the cluster directory , into the map save folder .
This in theory wud let them download a char , once loading the map there .arkprofile is saved on .
If i ever get my stupid computer working right i will test more ..

[arctic perch]

As odd as this is going to sound..... I was running my server on a laptop via WiFi. It was running flawlessly for days. Decided to move it into the room where the router is and provide it with a dedicated wired connection to the router. After connecting it via wired connection, that's when things went sideways. For testing, I unpluged the ethernet cable and tried again and viola....back up and running. Makes zero sense to me, but hey...if it works, it works.

[halcyon rapids]

Is ark more stable on higher end pc's?

[distant hearth]

not really

[halcyon rapids]

i really want to play but it only seems to work on potatoe pc's and i have 4070 ti and it always crashes its frustrating

[distant hearth]

some sort network issue there id imagine , which im hopeless at , like you say , if it works it works

[distant hearth]

shud be fine on that , heres a list of things to try ,
try these things one at a time and test to see if it helps
rtx stuff on is a common one(dlss,framegeneration etc), so turn it all off
disablemenutransition setting, turn it on, is off by default
disable hlod setting, turn it on
lock fps to monitor fps(hz)
foilage interaction setting, turn off (can cause little floating rocks though 😦 )
also can try this command in game, ark.vertexcountscaling 1

[deft stone]

the server really not need hi end pc

[deft stone]

the only reason i see is maybe the firewall doing thing cause the server change is IP address. maybe the nat is not pointing on the new ip

for sure the ip was change. But you can fixe it on the ethernet card at the value it was on the wireless

[distant hearth]

it dont really matter if the port forward is done right, for asa only need to allow the one udp port used to make it work , default udp7777

[deft stone]

yes but it should nat back to the on lan computer by its ip adress

if you plug the cable make sur you disable the wireless it will help

[arctic perch]

I'd moved the port forwarding to the new IP once it was assigned. Again, the odd thing about it was, I could remove the mods from the bat file and the server would run, but the moment I added the mods, the server would fail and say the Mod Server was Unreachable. Just bizarre.

[deft stone]

did you disabled the wifi, juste in case because if both where actif at the same time the routing could be disrupted

[worthy roost]

If I download the Saved folder from my Nitrado server, will I be able to restore it by replacing it in a new one?

[deft stone]

normaly the saved folder conaint everything you need, (maps, player, tribes saves, config file and cluster file)

so moving it from server to server transport everything. Just make sure you didnt use a folder redirect options (for the map and the cluser file)

[tulip mantle]

I'm having an issue with transfers where it's just stuck on Downloading when trying to spawn after transfer. Anyone have an idea what's wrong?

[deft stone]

<Sarcasm> Nothing ARK way to do thing </Sarcasm> excuse me too easy

[tulip mantle]

I hear ya. Been really frustrated with hosting ASA servers. Much worse than ADE even, and if you're not using Nitrado, it's even worse. I don't use Nitrado btw.

[deft stone]

i probably can help you, but i have no idea on the no dowloading... can you go back to your original server? Do you have any backup?

[tulip mantle]

I got it fixed

[deft stone]

ho

[stiff tulip]

does anyone know if the "URL" part of CosmeticWhitelistOverride can be a file path? or do you need to use URL formats?

[tulip mantle]

It's the setting "NoTributeDownloads" If this is set to False it breaks it.

[deft stone]

if you dont want to filter, just leave it to "URL" it default to accepting all cosmetics

you can also try something like file://c:/folder/folder/file.html but dont know if it work

[stiff tulip]

cool, but if you wanted to filter, could use use "C:\blah.txt" or would you need it to be "file://c:\blah.txt" or is it currently unknown?

ah.. ok.

[deft stone]

my idea is the server should have acces to the file://

[stiff tulip]

letting them all load for now is not a big thing I suppose.

[deft stone]

if you dont install the mod on your server they will not be avalaible anyway

[stiff tulip]

ok... just to make sure I understand proper; on the server, you have to specific the modID's for the custom cosmetics (as well as any other mods/maps) for them to work to start with? if so, why is there a whitelist? I just kind of assumed (bad I know) that you didn't have to load the custom cosmetic mods on the server, that it was a client side thing, and the server whitelisted which ones the clients could use.

[deft stone]

probably client can bring their own personnalisation so probably you are right saying client can bring their own...

[distant hearth]

your assumption is correct the custom cosmetics are client side , server has them auto activated .
what you can do is change what list it uses for allowed cosmetic mods

or disable with a server start command

[deft stone]

so no need for the server to load the mods?

[distant hearth]

nope , there activated

[deft stone]

ok thanks that explain the white list

[stiff tulip]

cool. I suppose I'll have to do some testing this weekend to see if I can get the whitelist working from the local directory. I really don't wanna spool up a webserver or deal with my own domain to host that file. seems messy.

[deft stone]

i second

@stiff tulip let us know the result if you do some test... im curious, i have no idea of the file format, if there is a way to have the official whitelist file.

[distant hearth]

i think it can just be done from github
however im also fairly confident a local file wud work , same as does for admin whitelisting etc

[vital linden]

Yeah, was going to recommend GitHub. I use that for JSON files for the WBUI2 mod.

[distant hearth]

i wud try just the direct adress first as the url
C:\customcosmetic\customcosmetic.txt

shove a text file in that folder with what u want whitelisted

[stiff tulip]

I'd like to keep everything local to the same file structure if I can. it gets messy having to host files elsewhere.

[distant hearth]

i dont think it particularly even cares about the names, just they have to point at .txt file it looks for

[deft stone]

and the file must be a list of mods id (one per line)?

[distant hearth]

that im not sure as havent been able test ,
ive been told just use commas an all in one line
modid,modid,modid

[deft stone]

i love what they made into the server windows for the mods (more verbose) but i dlike them to add more infos as a QoL

like some stats on the server, what is working what is not...

someone haveing knowledge of nitrato server configuration ? How do you activate : -NoTransferFromFiltering on those?

[distant hearth]

you dont/cant

set a cluster id
this shud stop single player joining .
use the nitrado cluster id generator an it give srandom string leters an numbers .

[deft stone]

thank you

i never ever use nitrado i dont want to pay them something

[halcyon rapids]

think its working fine but im getting a 144hz monitor am i able to max out the refresh rate with that one?

[distant hearth]

depends on resolution , im going to say likely not though , 144fps is alot for asa

[deft stone]

144hz will do noting on the fps, but the resolution will

[north forge]

I have a server running on my linux vm , how do I enable sopmeone to always be admin?

[north forge]

nvm figured it out , add them to ark/ShooterGame/Saved/AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt

[wispy yarrow]

Hey guys using Beacon, am i able tp customise one loot crate eg hard snow caves and just export that only in beacon free version? Tired of a vault full of asc rex and giga saddles and zero theri bps

[distant hearth]

i think the free version does it, however its been so long i had paid i cant 100% be sure .

set it how u want in beacon, the press the export button .
look in the game ini it shows and highlight the line u want, copy it an paste into your server

[wispy yarrow]

Thanks! There probably isnt a way to increase drop rate of red land drops? I can only play about 2 hours a day if im lucky, havent seen any up north or carno island in weeks.

[distant hearth]

increase no, if u went to enough effort you cud copy the red drop contents and overwrite other drops to be the same though ...
effectively same outcome .
just be aware asa drop contents and weights arent fully known yet , there is a community beacon project thats seemingly close

[wispy yarrow]

Oh that sounds like a good work around, thanks!

[fleet hatch]

im trying to connect to a dedicated server but it times out on joining failed?

all the ports are forwarded and firewall ,the server works with ase but just doesnt work with asa,it shows up on the server list and everythig

[distant hearth]

for asa server to work it just needs the udp port forwarded through router/switches etc and inbound firewall exception, also through any anti virus you might be using. default is udp7777 unless you tell it otherwise using start command -port=xxxx

is it running the latest server version ?

v35.13

[fleet hatch]

yes

[distant hearth]

has it ever worked?

[fleet hatch]

yea it worked like a month ago

also worked on ase and every other game

[distant hearth]

ase an asa are differnt they need differnt exceptions

they use differnt start parameters , etc
just becuase it shows in the lists does not mean your pc or router etc is allowing incoming connections to it

[fleet hatch]

say 7777,7778 27015-28030 forwarded both tcp and udp

[distant hearth]

yea those are ase ports , like i already said , asa only uses a udp port

[fleet hatch]

only use udp?

[distant hearth]

try running it on a differnt port and forwarding that , i.e use -port=8888 in the start batch file .
u can use battlemetrics website to check if its showing and what ip adress an port its using .

seems to me like a forwarding issues tbh

[fleet hatch]

ok i changed the port

and it works, thanks

[karmic grove]

How can i get into a steam ark server just bough ark on pc nd every server is dead havent played in like a year nd half but when did all the servers die i used to play xbox so never played steam

[wise kindle]

Steam has a much lower playerbase atm so this is expected tbh.

[bleak ivy]

the majority of players still on ASE are playing singleplayer or private servers. public unofficials players are going to be way too spread out.

[jaunty vortex]

Are you running the server on the same PC as your game? It needs different ports of so, the game will grab 7777

[hasty hatch]

Can you increase beehives spawning on a server with a setting command?

If yes anyone knows pls share the setting command

[deft stone]

Hi, i have an idea of what is not working... The DinoNameTag is not the Entity ID (Bront : Entity ID : Sauropod_Character_BP_C, NameTag : Bronto) you should use Bronto in the command.

[deft stone]

i have an idea DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=Bee,SpawnWeightMultiplier=10.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.5)

dont know if it will work or not

[pure haven]

yeah i was thinking about it but i dont know name tags for modded dinos. i tried with entity id for now and feel that it works

[deft stone]

take a chance with S-MilkGlider

or juste MilkGlider

put multilpe line worst case 🙂

[mellow wasp]

where do i apply passivemods command if im using webui (not nitrado) , i see startup command with lots of stuff in it should i just add to to the end of it or something?

kinda figured out what mod was causing issues but dont wanna completely disable it to not lose tamed modded dinos

[deft stone]

TheIsland_WP?... -mods=927084 -passivemods=927084 on the command line

[pure haven]

i see this in startup command -Port=50110 Svartalfheim_WP?listen?MaxPlayers=20?SessionName=""?Port=50109?QueryPort=50111?RCONPort=50112?RCONEnabled=True$( [ "$SERVER_PVE" == "0" ] || printf %s '?ServerPVE=True' )?ServerPassword=""{{ARGS_PARAMS}}?ServerAdminPassword="" do i put it somewhere here?

[deft stone]

-Port=50110 -mods=927084 -passivemods=92708 Svartalfheim_WP?...

you have alot of thing not working anymore into this line

[pure haven]

it was just a default thing i haven't changed anything in startup myself (just removed session name and admin pass before posting here)

[deft stone]

?MaxPlayers=20 is replaced by -winlivemaxplayers=20

?QueryPort=50111 no need anymore

[pure haven]

well everything was working fine but Z-dinos update broke something so i was trying to disable it without removing. tho i already contacted mod dev and fix is underway now

[eternal lake]

Do we need .ini entries for the Gigantoraptor saddles to be added to loot tables? (I have a mess of entries at the end of my GUS.ini for Char and Rhinio but I overwrite my .ini files on every server startup.)

[deft stone]

normaly the saddles are addded to the red (and yellow not sure) drops when you add the mods

[pure haven]

hmm interesting.. seems like i dont have access to edit a startup command line on my server webui page. im using gravel host and its my first time running a server. so how do i use any of command lines for the server if i ever need to use them for something

[wise kindle]

There are typically ini settings equivalents that you can use instead. Lack of startup bat file access from hosted services is common.

[pure haven]

so is there a way to add passivemods command to ini somehow?

[wise kindle]

Can you ping Curseforge from the ip?

[wise kindle]

In Nitrado its a checkbox in the UI. Ask your host if you dont see this there.

[gloomy trellis]

Is the decay system still not working? >.<

[wise kindle]

Probably not blocked then.

[wise kindle]

Decay seems to work. Decay demo tho, that seems to be broken. I have to manually demo everything.

Was Curseforge down at the time? It is subject to internet outages as we all are. As well as slow net speeds causing timeouts.

Selfhost needs a bunch of ports open. Um, someone will be along that knows the ports. Im more on the Nitrato hosted side of help.

Ok, well I got nothing lol. Can you send an open post with the specific issue you are seeing? Sounds like a bunch tbh. And as I said Im not the one that knows the answers here. Best to list issues and leave it open to all.

Dont tag me = open post

[distant hearth]

asa server to show up an be joinable , only needs a udp port open, through router /switches etc, any antivirus software and inbound on windows firewall , the default is 7777udp
can be changed with -port=xxxx , where xxxx is the port number u wish to use .

If it its not booting becuase mod issues, delete the mods folder, remove the mods from the start command (-mods=modid,modid,modid)
then try again, you need to get it booting clean before anything else and on the latest server version V35.xx

[silver wharf]

Any Server Pro's here?
We're currently trying to set up a cluster with Svartalfheim (PC only) to our Island Server (Crossplay), hosted on our Root-Server. Unfortunately, we can't download characters. W're uploading them on the Island, travel to Svartalfheim and try to Dawnload/spawn them. But instead of spawning the Characters, we're directed to the window for creating a new Character.
Specific Up- & Downloads are granted ... any ideas, what we might missed?

[halcyon rapids]

what refresh do i want for 4k 144hz monitor?

[distant hearth]

they will likely need to use a shared cluster folder , if there running in seperate folders , using -clusterdiroverride= xxxxxxxxxxxxx
where both point to the same folder/directory location on the root server
there is a bit of a guide in the pinned messages of this channel

3rd one down

[silver wharf]

Wow amazing, I'll check that and try it on our server

[silver wharf]

We have created a new Folder and used it at clusterdiroverride, but no content was saved to that created folder, nor the both server sided folders. Have we missed something?

When trying to travel, we can chose a spawning area, now waiting with a greyed out "Downloading" button, but nothing happens

[distant hearth]

if its on a windows server, it shud create the folder for you at the adress you tell it when you transfer . both servers need the same adress for the folder
Also check this setting
notributedownloads=true

it shud be set false

the folder it makes will shows the the directory name u set , then inside is another folder with the clusterid name, inside that is where it stores transfer data , ready to go to the server save files .

sem to me like one your transfer settings is wrong tbh

[wise kindle]

btw if this is seen randomly, i noticed the game doesnt like to have more than one character in the obelisk. It can decide to not let you download any character at that point. So best to tell ppl to not store them there. You tend to lose both.

[obsidian prawn]

are ark saves like minecraft saves where you can just upload a singleplayer save to the server

[silver wharf]

I've completely overlooked this :

notributedownloads=true
it shud be set false

We set it to false and now it works. Thanks or your support ❤️

[deft stone]

the save game files can be uploaded to a server and will work, with some modification to the profile and tribe filename, but the config files are different

[obsidian prawn]

what type of modifications must be made? and what changes must be made to the tribe filename?

[deft stone]

let me find on my savegame

you have 3 files :

TheIsland_WP.ark
LocalPlayer.akrprofile
number.arktribe

the localplayer.akrprofile must be rename to you steamIDNumber.arkprofile (i use dedicated steam server)

juste start a fresh server, join the map and the server will create the file for you, just rename the localplayer to new name and overite the files into the server

ho cool server 5178 is version 35.9999

[halcyon rapids]

what refresh do i want for 4k 144hz monitor?

[west plinth]

Anyone know if you can change the rhyniognatha craving setting so that one craving will give you 100% ?

[deft stone]

i never hear about those kind of settings

[wise kindle]

I dont think that exists. Maybe with a mod, but its not a game setting atm.

[west plinth]

Okay , thanks if anyone find anything can you lmk? Maybe changing the babyimprintingstatacalemultiplier setting?

[wise kindle]

That effects all baby imprinting, but not cravings. Bug cravings are a completely different set of mechanics.

[west plinth]

I was on a server that one craving was the same as doing all 5

Didn't see a mod that stood out but I did notice that imprinting babies mad the stats sky rocket

[wise kindle]

Maybe its super boosted? No idea. I guess super boost your stats and experiment lol. Tho not sure if you want to make every dino a monster. Unless its fibercraft or something.

[west plinth]

True , im trying to text it on single player but it's a little bit difficult, might have to see on the pc

[wise kindle]

Id just spawn in the cravings and be done with it tbh. Would be easier than trying to figure all that out lol.

[west plinth]

That wouldn't be the goal

The goal is to make the rhy use one craving and get the max benefit. I'm figuring If it works with the imprint stat I can just super buff the dino stats making tamed creature worthless but making babies normal based stats

[wise kindle]

ah ok, go for it.

[late estuary]

Is there an ini setting that controls how fast harvested resources disappear? I'd love to make them vanish faster if possible

[west plinth]

Like when you harvest something how many times you hit it before is destroyed?

[late estuary]

No like after youre done harvesting and the broken stones fall around you and slowly disappear and sink into the ground, or trees. I'd love to make them go away faster

[blissful trout]

If I need to reinstall a structure mod, is there a way to do it without deleting all the current structures people have built with the mod? Maybe save the game then stop the server while I uninstall and reinstall the mods? I don’t want to delete any of my players stuff.

[deft stone]

stop the server, wait 5 minutes, make a backup, unisntall reinstall, restart watch if it work, if no restore the backup

[wise kindle]

Harvest health is I think what you are looking for.

[deft stone]

no it wont make the broken ressources disapear faster

[wise kindle]

Stop the server, WAIT 5 FULL MINUTES, remove the mod, SAVE, readd the mod, SAVE. Then start your map back up.

[west plinth]

I get what you are saying now , my on my system I see that but on my brother's Xbox he never saw it. So I'm sure it's some kind of graphic setting

[deft stone]

or nanite command?

[wise kindle]

Lower health harvests faster. Unless you mean making a harvested tree go poof? In that case, revert to ASE lmao.

[deft stone]

no he want the ressources once "broken" or empty, to disepear not staying on the floor for 10 seconds

[west plinth]

They are talking about the debri

[wise kindle]

ASE. Thats the tried and true solution there lol.

[late estuary]

Yeah harvesting debris

[deft stone]

maybe if he lower the video quality they dont appear?

[wise kindle]

Complete lack of realism comes by default 😉

[west plinth]

Sounds like a hard question and you would have to have understanding of how to disable visual effects 🤔

[wise kindle]

Sounds like you can experiment and figure it out.

[west plinth]

If you get any clues lmk I can try to help , seems like an interesting question

[wise kindle]

I just wait a sec, for it to poof. Lasts about a sec for me on Win10.

[late estuary]

I play on Series X, and feel like the debris does stay around just a little too long

[west plinth]

Look into -lowmemory but mostly seems like a client side setting

[late estuary]

What do you mean look into -lowmemory?

[west plinth]

What I'm finding is that when you have low memory the game doesn't do the debris for structures and nodes the xbox s vs the x. So this is kind of where my knowledge hits a wall. I'm sure you could run a command to change your Clients setting kind of how you can turn off grass. But idk how to find that quickly

[sacred kestrel]

Is transferring for anybody else now working ? Current setting are disabling item download and disabling item upload. But my inventory is empty. Was working earlier now its not

[night ermine]

has any ever had this problem on ark windows 10 where it just wont launch fully,my game just keeps instantly blue screening and quits out, i recently transfered my files to a new pc and this started happening. any help would be much apricated

[sharp siren]

wrong channel, but by bluescreening, you mean the PC is crashing, or what exactly? any specifc error message?

[stone shore]

Is hosting a steam ase cluster a good idea would it get anywhere

[night ermine]

When I go to launch ark the game just goes to a frozen blue screen then quits out

[stone shore]

Have you tried redownloading

[sharp siren]

which version of ark, what hardware, has you played it previously on the same hardware?

[lucid orchid]

If I download the mod dev kit, can I edit existing mods?

I would just try it, but the kit is like 400GB download

[severe pawn]

I have a big problem. We have had a server for months... and a few days ago we added the Svartalfheim cluster. Since then, several players have had their PC deleted, practically all of us... even several times... the PC is not deleted at all times, and without an apparent pattern... the only thing in common is that everyone at some point moment we switch to the svaltarhein map. Does anyone know what could be happening?

[deft stone]

No they are compiled, you need the sources to edit them

[lucid orchid]

@deft stone Ruh roh. Thanks for the response!

[deft stone]

Maybe you can talk with de developper to get a copy, or ask him for the change you want

or... create a new one but i dont think it so easy to do

[pure haven]

Any reason why on my server with SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier=1 and MaxDifficulty=True people was able to get saddles with more than 124 armor from cave drops? i thought those are setting that official have or am i missing something?

[deft stone]

this is normal, i also think that the servers are affected by the evo event on weekend. I always get better stuff when an evo x2 is on

[sharp moat]

Non dedicated server multiplayer, modded, anyone who isnt host can't placed modded items down. Modded items are fine however. Engrams cant be unlocked either for non host as it's -99999999 points etc.

[robust bough]

We have had all dinos stop consuming food via inventory or trough. Any ideas? Just done server restart

[deft stone]

it was a change, they change the way dino consume food

[distant hearth]

officials use item stat clamps, the wiki has the info on it , i cant rem them off top my head , but search for them an they come up

[deft stone]

to lower the charge on the server they will eat less often but more each time

[robust bough]

Any idea where this was posted nothing In patch notes

[ripe finch]

Does anyone know how to set a single player like official settings? I want the level increment of wild Dino's to be in 5's but I'm still seeing level 28's. I set it to hard difficult, maximum difficulty is enabled, single player settings are off and did a Dino wipe

[deft stone]

Patch Notes

Added a new Cosmetics UI, accessible via a button inside the inventory screen
Optimizations to tamed creature eating. Creatures will now scale how often they look for food in troughs based on how hungry they are, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

[robust bough]

I dunno how I missed that thank you

[deft stone]

No problem 🙂 I had a hard time finding it back 🙂

[robust bough]

So we done a server restart and it’s still happening we got baby’s that won’t eat from there inventory’s

Baby tuso Foods dropped from like 3500 to 1000

[deft stone]

try forcefeed them to not loose them, many people report the same problem 😦

[robust bough]

Wow ok yh that seams to be working. I think they will be podded for now

[severe pawn]

I have a big problem. We have had a server for months... and a few days ago we added the Svartalfheim cluster. Since then, several players have had their PC deleted, practically all of us... even several times... the PC is not deleted at all times, and without an apparent pattern... the only thing in common is that everyone at some point moment we switch to the svaltarhein map. Does anyone know what could be happening?

[sacred kestrel]

Is anyone else having issues with transfers? I have mine set up to not allow item transfers. It was working around 2 yesterday from what I was told but by the evening time I kept getting an error message telling me transfers aren't allowed but only thing on me was the implant . I really don't wanna allow item uploads as it's a pve server to pvp. But I don't know what else to do

[opal geyser]

Is showmyadminmanager working for anyone else? I have cheats enabled and other commands work but this one wont pop up admin manager.

[vital linden]

I run a couple of ASA clusters, one with Crossplay Svartalfheim and one with PC Only Svartalfheim, and haven't had the issue. I assume you added a matching clusterid parameter to each game server.

-clusterid=Whatever123 needs to be in the Commandline

[wise kindle]

This is a known bug with disabled item transfers. Not much we can do about it really, but the issue will disappear if you enable all transfers (character, item and creature). We do not have an eta on a fix.

[wise kindle]

Disable max difficulty and do a dino wipe. You will see 5s there after.

[sacred kestrel]

Ahh fiddle, I guess for now I'll see if I can disable item downloads to the pvp and re-enable item uploads on the pve side of things

[wise kindle]

This may still cause the issue. It seems to occur whenever anything is disabled, it stops character transfers. Unless that got patched anyway.

[sacred kestrel]

I have a feeling your right, but I'll bring the server down tonight and give it a shot and report back

[wise kindle]

It’s intermittent as well, which makes it so frustrating to test for. This game 🙄

[sacred kestrel]

Yeah I was so confused when I was told it worked earlier but quit working later that day , so frustrating

[restive knot]

so i have the love ascended mod disabled with -passivemods in the startup. love bugs are still spawing. do i need to remove the mod from the gus.ini?

[gloomy trellis]

My apologies for delayed response. That is what I meant. The decay is best used so we do NOT have to manually remove and clear up space and resources off the map. Crazy this is not fixed..

[severe pawn]

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I have that command set. The thing is that from time to time, when entering the game, it tells us to create a new PJ. (the old PJ is still there sleeping on the map) it's pretty random. And it happened to us a few days ago that we put on Svartalfheim. We change maps with the PJ... all good, but from time to time... it no longer lets you, and forces you to create new PJ. It has happened to all users before or after.

[wise kindle]

Silly question but did you do a wild dino wipe?

[restive knot]

no, but i have been killing love bugs and they still respawn. do i need to do a wipe?

[wise kindle]

Yep. That should get rid of them if the mod is properly set to passive. Cheat destroywilddinos

[restive knot]

thanks. will try that

[opal geyser]

Is showmyadminmanager working for anyone else? I have cheats enabled and other commands work but this one wont pop up admin manager.

[wise kindle]

Yep it works. Cant say offhand why it wouldnt.

[opal geyser]

Weird... It just doesnt pop up when you use the command.

[wise kindle]

You got any admin mods running? Or anything with admin window pop ups?

[opal geyser]

Not that I know of.

[silver wharf]

We just wanted to setup Servertransfer with only Characters are able to transfer. no items, no dinos. So we only set preventcharacterupload and preventcharacterdownload to false, rest is true.
We stand at obelisk and want to travel, but game says, "Items not allowed - The Server you are currently on doesn't allow transferring items. Drop your items and try again."
Our Inv is empty, we already killed ourselfs to clear, and used the "ClearPlayerInventory" cheat at console. But nothing works.

Any ideas, what we might missed?

[distant hearth]

you missed nothing, its just broken at the moment, the devs need to fix it

[silver wharf]

So only transfer with item transfer on is possible?

[distant hearth]

atm yes its seems so

[silver wharf]

oh bummer, but thanks for clarifying. We where close to driving nuts ^^

[scenic bloom]

for custom supply crate configs, do "MinNumItems" and "MaxNumItems" control the total quantity of whats in the crate? or the amount of entries at once?

[distant hearth]

its been a while since i redid loot crates , but from memory its the items in each set that can be included in the drop

[scenic bloom]

im trying to make a custom supply crate that gives all 9 entries 100% of the time, (50x congealed gas ball, 50 blood pack, etc)

i tried using beacon, but the mod i had wasnt there

[distant hearth]

so if u have a set with max item 2 but there 5 items, it will only choose 2 items from the 5

[scenic bloom]

so i set it to however many entries there are not the total quantity of items?

and then the "minquantity" and "maxquantity" control how much of each item there is?

on the wiki it says "Note: this value is still limited by its set MinNumItems and MaxNumItems values"

[distant hearth]

1 sec lemme load up beacon an refresh my memory

[scenic bloom]

ty

[distant hearth]

ok so if i rem right , to do what you want, have 5 item set , minimum of 5 sets , maximum 5 set have each set have 1 item in the set and have the same weight , then prevent duplicates

test it with the reroll feature in beacon, but that shud give 1 of each item u want every time ..

sry if i didnt explain well

[young stream]

Can anybody tell me where I can find the setting to increase wild Dino levels? Or the code I have to implement in the ini files if I have to do it that way 🫶🏻

[scenic bloom]

it worked thank you

[olive talon]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty

[scenic bloom]

DifficultyOffset=1.0

[scenic bloom]

and then this

[young stream]

Tyyy you guys I found one but didn’t know I had to do the other one too so that was prob why it didn’t work lol

[scenic bloom]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 for dinos to spawn at 5, 10, ..., 145, 150
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6.0 for dinos to spawn at 6, 12, ..., 174, 180. IF you do this one MaxDifficulty needs to be false or it will cap at multiples of 5

[distant hearth]

its easy to work out, as its x30
so overrideofficialdifculty= 5 , makes 5x 30 = 150

[scenic bloom]

whats the highest number the override official difficulty can be?

[distant hearth]

dunno in asa but dinos tend to break if they go over like level 1200 iirc

[scenic bloom]

nice

[scenic bloom]

okay so basically i change the minNumItems and maxnumitems both to 8, and it did the same thing as min and max 325

[distant hearth]

well becuase you have no duplicates , it can only do the the things it cant duplicate . im not really sure what you wanting to do . u said 5 things an guaranteed so i told you how to do that .
if you want 325 things or 8 things , you need that many item sets

[vital linden]

Do you use Nitrado or a dedicated server for your game servers?

[scenic bloom]

basically i want it to always give 50 congealed gas balls, 50 blood packs, 20 mutagel, 50 clay, 25 shell fragment, 10 charge batteries, and 50 fungal wood. I got confused because the actual config calls it MinNumItems but beacon calls it minimum entries, so beacon made it easier to understand

just bad wording is all

[vital linden]

If you use a dedicated server, try adding this to Commandline: "-ClusterDirOverride=D:\Ark\servers" without quotes, where the name of the folders may be different, but the path should end with the folder name (in my case: servers) where all your server folders are located in that cluster. In my case, I have server 4 path to ShooterGame like: D:\ArkServer\servers\4\serverfiles\ShooterGame

[distant hearth]

no problem , so you have it working now?
as you have 7 items, u need 7 item sets ,
each set has the amount of each item u want in with 100 weight ,
shud do the trick

then min max sets set to 7 an no duplicates

[scenic bloom]

and i misscounted oops

yeah i got it working, thank you man

[distant hearth]

yw , it is kinda confusing but easy once u suss it out , sry it had been a while an i dont explain well

[distant hearth]

this seems slightly overcomplicated to me tbh , but it works .

i just set each server start command to
-clusterdiroverride=D:\arkcluster -clusterid=xxxx

then when you go to transfer on server it creates that folder an inside it will be another folder with the clusterid ,xxxx
inside that is where it stores the data ready to go on the map after using a transfer

[deft stone]

just like that you can also use -clusterdiroverride="D:\FolderName with space..."

[olive talon]

Discord configuration can be googled. This channel is for unofficial server setup, not discord.

[novel pine]

And does someone know why i keep getting killed while restarting my server?

[past jackal]

can somone help me

[wise kindle]

Gotta explain the problem and then we can give you an answer to that question.

[past jackal]

ok

[distant hearth]

silly , i can help, drink more beer 😛 hehe

[past jackal]

my friend and i are trying to start non decicated server he is on epic and i am playing on steam we are tyring to connect to each other using command in cosnole "open [IP]" but it doesnt work

[wise kindle]

Dont temp me man lol

[wise kindle]

yeah they arent crossplay. So that wont work.

[past jackal]

no it does work

we played few months ago but we forgot how to do it

[distant hearth]

only on a dedicated server are they x play

non dedicated always have to be on the same platform

[wise kindle]

You likely just invited him to your single player or you were on someone dedi server and played together.

But a non dedi HAS to be the same platform. That mode is not crossplay.

[past jackal]

no. he started non dedicated, and then i joined my single player and just typed "open[his ip adress]" and it worked

[olive talon]

On ASE, epic and steam are crossplay with nondedi

[olive talon]

Nondedi is buggy as shit and doesn't always load. You'll likely have to try multiple times.

[wise kindle]

This is news to me. Maybe you can help him lol.

Its never been told that it has ever worked as intended to me.

[past jackal]

we tried multiple times and we dont know what are we doing wrong

[distant hearth]

they are ? well hell, learn summit new everyday, thxs bee

[olive talon]

Yeah it works, just is annoying and half the time not worth it.

[past jackal]

what is ASE?

[olive talon]

Ark Survival Evolved

[past jackal]

can you explain me how to do that, we forgot.

[olive talon]

Sec

[wise kindle]

non dedi is NEVER worth the time imo lol.

You would win an argument with a stop sign faster than you can get non dedi to work as intended.

[olive talon]

For a non-dedicated session between Steam and Epic on ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED:
The person hosting needs to use the website https://www.ipchicken.com/ to get the host ip , and then give it to the other people that want to join it. Port is either 27015, 77777, 7777

Person that wants to join the non-dedicated needs to do this-
Step 1: Join a single-player game of ARK.
Step 2: Click Tab to open the console.
Step 3: Obtain your server's connection information in the format of IP:PORT.
Step 4: Type: open IP:PORT and press enter.

**If you'd like a link to a website for extra details, https://pingperfect.com/index.php/knowledgebase/82/Ark-Survival-Evolved--How-to-connect-to-server-Steam-and-Epic.html
You'll likely have to have them try rejoining multiple times as non-dedicated is buggy.

Do not use this video unless you are creating a server to host from your own pc.
If a non-dedicated session still does not work, and your pc is good enough, you can try this:

Here have some copypasta

@past jackal ^

[olive talon]

Agreed but some like it

[wise kindle]

Um so... is that in pins?

Cuz I aint gotta copy that everytime someone asks that.

[past jackal]

bro what is this, this is too complicated and we didn't use port forwarding or anything like that

[olive talon]

It used to be but I'd removed it once ASA released, I'll pin it again

[sick vector]

yo

I am that friend of his, how do we get port?

[olive talon]

It's not complicated at all. There's even a website linked.

Read the message and follow the instructions.

[wise kindle]

ty! Cuz non dedi is NOT something I want to explain to people. I dont wanna shoulder that burden lol.

[celest halo]

Don't even think we can copy past that, bot would kill us for the links 🤣

[past jackal]

yeah but we used to know how to connect in like 30 sec and didnt use any port or anything like that we used Radmin VPN

[olive talon]

You used a port every time you joined previously.

[past jackal]

nope i have a clip

[sick vector]

Ay, one question if I am on epic and he is on steam who needs to open non dedicated and who needs to join it? I thinks its me who makes non dedi but not sure?

[distant hearth]

that vpn was just doing the connection for you

[olive talon]

This is the only way I know how.

[distant hearth]

it shudnt really matter , but if you want to continue from where you left off, then who ever originally started it , needs to be the the one to host

[wise kindle]

VPNs are magical, except when they arent.

[deft stone]

so it means that the server will not show in server list you just need to open it directly with the open admin command

[olive talon]

coughs like nondedi

[past jackal]

yes correct thats how we used to connect, but it doesnt work now

or we just dont know how, forgot

[distant hearth]

yea there great for making my 10mb into 6mb lolz, but they have there uses ... moving along

[deft stone]

open IP:PORT <password> just in case

[past jackal]

yes we tried like 10 min ago, i watched my old clips how we did that but idk what are we doing wrong

[sick vector]

I remember I hosted non dedi and when I joined world he wrote in adimin commands open IP and thats it

[distant hearth]

ip adresses change often, unless have requested a static one, use bees link an get the new ip adress

[sick vector]

Then he would be in loading scrn and after that he would be in my world playing

[deft stone]

can you test if the server answer to the request with a port checker website?

[past jackal]

wdym on radmin it says they are same ones as before

[deft stone]

that could by a firewall/nat configuration missing

[past jackal]

idk i remember i was doing smt with Escape from Tarkov private server trying to open port myb i did smt

[sick vector]

so can we or cant we play?

[wise kindle]

Ya'll need to follow the steps detailed in bees post above. Thats the extent of our knowledge on the subject.

[cinder elk]

Hello, is there anything I can do to prevent it from showing me where the host is during a short session?

[sick vector]

we are on different patches?

is there differenceor is it bcs steam and epic

[distant hearth]

just the major versions need to match , i.e 356.xx or 366.xx etc

aslong as both on say 356 major , it will work , if its going to , non dedi are finicky at best times

[olive talon]

No. Nondedicated will always show the host and always have a tether.

[sick vector]

Is there any other way we could play just together or?

[hollow robin]

ok so i need some help yall my server i have had up since day one and it has the same mods its had since the second week of the serverbeing open i have not changed anything on the server and now all of a sudden its randomly restarting its not in a restart loop but it is just a random restart thats not my daily restarts i have for it, it could b 2 hr then it will restart it could be 20 min and it will restart i have contacted nitrado they didint help in any way not like i didint see that comming lol but do any of yall have any idea what could be going on

[oak creek]

Not sure where to put this but all the gigantoraptors on my server look like their feet are tied together lol

[olive talon]

Ingame bug, not a server setup issue. #bug-reports.

[wise kindle]

This is likely lag related.

[wise kindle]

Shutdown the map, WAIT 5 FULL MINUTES, remove all mods, SAVE, readd all mods, SAVE. Then give it another try.

You may have to grab a restore point to get it back to a good state as well.

I had a map doing this since reset last night. It seems to be a weird mod install.

[distant hearth]

1- mods can cause issues despite they did work fine an you havent changed them, the game updates, the mods update

asa is an early access broken asf release, add in third party mods an you have a recipe for disaster

2- asa likes to corupt save files , it does is for fun

3- nitrado servers are poop ,

so how do we fix this?
first step, learn how to ftp connect to the server an take full manual backups of the save files an what each does ,

second step, try with no mods (becuase you now know how to reinstall a full backup properly from step 1 )

third step, mods are all good but issues still happen, load anticorrupt backups for the world save, player saves and tribe data saves

fourth step cross fingers an pray to the ark gods

[hollow robin]

thank yall for the help ima try all yall said lol

[timber ice]

Can anyone help me? Have a brand new map with no mods and can't even put a point on my character without it crashing and nitrado isn't helping me at all. I'm so tired of not getting any help from them. 😩

[lucid solstice]

This really should get pinned imo

[lucid solstice]

Server crashes? Or client

[timber ice]

I can get on but I can't do anything. I have 27 points to put on her and when I try to nothing happens then it just shuts down. And all I'm getting from nitrado is that it's the mods but I don't have any on that map. Ugh it's very frustrating

When it just shuts down it retarts the map

[lucid solstice]

Not aware of anything special, I run a server just fine on an old intel

Could be an issue with the windows server?

[distant hearth]

cloud one is intel ?

[lucid solstice]

When it says querying server mods. Do you have mods installed?

Does it work not trying to install them? With no more information about said mods/system it looks like it's trying to download them, but can't find the mods.

But it doesn't crash?

[coarse mural]

how do u play windows 10/xbox servers on pc do u just install it through the xbox app? (ase)

[lucid solstice]

Is it running on the right port in the tasks? Because that sounds like it's working just with port issjes

I mean it is ark. Half the time it'll have port issues

There is an issue with Asa when having ports open that it doesn't realize that the port is open. Not sure why that happens, but sometimes with everything setup it won't work without a little push. I don't see why that would be causing the other issue though

Does it say anything else in the logs?

Hmm, weird.

[late estuary]

Anyone know an ini setting or otherwise that makes harvesting debris vanish more quickly?

[distant hearth]

what is the start batch file for that server, out of curiosity ? blank anything u dont want public with xxxxxxx

[lucid solstice]

That's a lot of mods

Have you tested each individual mod?

I still think since it's not crashing when you run it without mods that you have a minor port issue

So you were able to join it with the amd cpu?

Unless there is some unknown issue with a specific Intel cpu, I am inclined to think that's not the issue though. Like I said, I run it fine on an old intel

I have done it both on win10 and linux

[distant hearth]

straight up i can tell you ?listen is not needed, server shud ignore lines it doesnt use but i like to be clean ,
?port=7777 is no longer used , they default to 7777 , use -port=xxxx where xxxxx is the port u want to use i.e -port=8888

also alot mods, , what happens if u start the server without any ?
might also be worth changing the port using -port=xxxx , sometimes they have issues on 7777

edit, asa servers only need a udp port to be visible in lists an joinable(if the port is forwarded correctlt inbound in firewalll and through any router/switch etc)

[lucid solstice]

Hmm, that might be it then.

If server win doesn't install dependencies, (which is terrible design) that might be the issue, but likely few if anyone has run into that issue

What's stopping you from just using Linux?

Yeah I get that

[frigid vine]

Is that a typo in #patch-notes 🤔 Sounds more like a Server Patch, or?

Or do they mean non-dedi Servers?

Ah now they edited:) nvm

[distant hearth]

i exentesively tested the batch files to see what wud wud work minimum,
get a server to work with the bare minimum then , add things was my theory .tjis is for a machine running no other servers, so

Start arkascendedserver.exe theisland_wp?sessionname="my server"

this will start the server , make it run on the default udp port 7777 and name it my server
if this doesnt show in the lists an let you connect , then there is an issue with the firewall/or port foraward
(if the machine has other servers , add in -port=xxxxx with your choice of port number , being sure to forward that udp port )

[distant hearth]

yea typo i guessed soon as saw it

[frigid vine]

Yay... Really nice when i read Server RAM optimization

[lucid solstice]

You have your server set as a dedicated ip?

[distant hearth]

it has to be, they must be using some sort firewall, ddos protection , something?
im not good with network stuf, but i doubt they leave it wide open

[lucid solstice]

I just really find it weird that it can't run with the basic settings

[distant hearth]

ark doesnt have ports as such, it uses a udp port that you tell it to use

[lucid solstice]

That's what makes me think it's not the cpu though.

27020 is a steam query port , not used in asa

ah my bad,apologies , network stuff not my strong point
anyway the rcon port is not needed to make the server show in listings and be joinable
its a very strange issue have for sure ,
i just cant help feel its network related

If it was a regular win10 issue I would 100% say it's a network/port issue. But the way you are setting it up is different enough from what I have done that it's hard to say. Without error messages or logs it's really tough to diagnose

There isn't anything inthe error message you posted that makes me think it's anything more than a mod issue though

[vital linden]

Likely Nitrado, and nothing you can control.

[lucid solstice]

That does show up in a lot of mod related crashes though

Yeah that does sound like dependencies. Possibly corruption, but I am assuming you did fresh installs

[distant hearth]

just a last random thought, the server is on v35.xx right?

sounds daft i know but worth checking in the sercer window, i once had trouble becuase i had the update batch typo

[lucid solstice]

So it's probably not corruption. In which case it seems your diagnosis is correct, I just don't know how to fix it 😅

[distant hearth]

its annoying asf , it shud work, bugging me why it doesnt lolz

[lucid solstice]

You could just run it on Linux for now and port over the save files when/if you can get it to work

Amd is generally better for ark

[distant hearth]

what data ceneter is it? all the ones i looked at were way to expensive for a couple servers, so im waiting for maps

thx will check them out

[lucid solstice]

I find that Asa uses so much hardware that it's cheaper to just run my own hardware than rent it. Which is crazy

[restive knot]

i run my server on the same box that i play on. no issues. currently have 3 others that play as well.

[distant hearth]

i have shit internet so not an option for me, oher wise i wud do that 100%

[lucid solstice]

I just got a refurb Dell from amazon for like $120, works for small time servers. But probably could run up to a 70 player one

[restive knot]

@distant hearth yeah, ISP can be an issue. fortunately i have gigabit fiber in my area

[lucid solstice]

That's fair. I actually got it for a different reason, but ended up using it for ark too

[distant hearth]

lucky , im on an old copper dsl line , one day they will upgrade maybe lmao ...
