Hey I'm Hosting a ASA Duo Cluster. Do I need 2 separate instance of server files or I can use one?

[quiet crater]

I'm hosting using steamcmd and I own the dlc on steam but it's saying I can't spawn the oasisaur on the map. Is there something I have to put in the bat file for it to recognize I own the dlc?

[fickle turret]

I wonder if he creates a bat file would he keep his island save

[polar gulch]

I made a bat file and it created a scorched map. But it didn't keep any of my other settings

[still bane]

Thank you!

[polar gulch]

Again this is all new to me. Back in the day for AsE I used a server manager program. Things were a lot easier.

[quiet crater]

So you think I can't have the dlc stuff on my own server? It's either official or non dedicated only?

[polar gulch]

They made ASM for ASA? Last I checked they said they weren't planning it.

[sour geyser]

Crashing whenever I try to look at my engams smh grrr

[frigid vine]

Anyone get it work to transfer?
I made my changes like officials

TheIsland
Allows only char upload, everything else is disabled

SE
Allows everything to upload and download

Still getting the Dialog on The Island "drop all items". I did. Yes also cosmetic tab and chibi

[sour geyser]

I crash

[humble thicket]

@zealous aurora sever 9156 is down please fix it

[sour geyser]

Maybe a redownload will fix it

Thanks

[slate bridge]

anyone when transferring between maps having a new dupe glitch ?

[oblique roost]

Did wild card send out another pid 0 code to unofficial servers? Ever since I updated im getting a constant pid 0 like back when they did the Christmas update and forced pid 0 on us all

[frigid vine]

thx

[polar gulch]

Do you happen to know who took over or have a link to which one you're talking about? I see a few projects others have worked on but seem to be abandoned for ASM?

I see one on github by Ch4r0ne?

I'll check this out thanks!

[humble thicket]

still no news/update about the restart loop 🥲

[polar gulch]

Does this work with ASA?

Ok. I DLed it and opened it up. Just noticed it says ASE up top. Was worried lol

[primal sequoia]

anyone get clusters working yet? able to transfer from island to SE?

[spiral citrus]

waiting on patchy mcpatchyface to chuck us all a bone :)

[polar gulch]

Current Version
Ark Server Manager - Always the latest version
Download here.

From the steamcommunity page link followed from the wiki page you sent me.

Yep I see the version number up on the top left. Do I need to specify somewhere that it's ASA and not ASE or?

[primal sequoia]

ok i just got clusters working - disable LoveAscended if you had it as a passive mod, and give your servers distinct names

[fickle turret]

Can your friends join you ?

[humble thicket]

yeah its been doing on since the release of the new update

[primal sequoia]

yes the players on my cluster can transfer

[severe bison]

@polar echo so i have my SE server up but i still don't understand the cluster thing

[pallid kestrel]

Did they fix transfers yet?

I.e, can you allow only character transfers

[still thunder]

it was? must have missed the announcement then

[hardy pelican]

still no word on the older windows server versions not being able to run the server anymore?

[low dew]

you can run it on normal windows dont see why you cant run it on a older windows server

[hardy pelican]

well you can't as of the latest update

[native wave]

window server 2019 and older has issues with the SE patch

running great with proton in pterodactyl

[hardy pelican]

i've made a bug report and a forum thread but idk how else to let them know

[native wave]

oh yeah I know....but it's how I run most of my servers

haven't tried to test transfers between my servers yet, but the cluster should be functional

have them unrestricted....and I'll get to it eventually

[uneven flame]

Anyone know how to enable transfers without item downloads that lest the cosmetic frames through?
also,
Scorched INI configs for the storm intervals and stuff, or the generator affected by storms?

[severe bison]

So can i use the same ports i did for my The island for SE too?

7778, 7777 these ones

or do i need to make new ones and which ones for SE?

[molten glacier]

Can we not allow Item Trasnfer on unoffical server when we want to do it?

[obsidian moat]

Anybody that can tell me a config option to decrease the amount of bonding kills needed for gigant? My baby’s mature fast and imprint amount is increased, but baby creatures seem to be asking for like 15+ kills which is impossible due to their growth rate

[low dew]

@severe bison if your running a cluster one of them needs different ports

2 servers with identical ips and ports causes issues

[severe bison]

So I made more then one port I made 4

I have two ports

[low dew]

you can use the same ip for both you just gotta change the port is all

[severe bison]

You can!

One is 7777 and the other is 7778

[molten glacier]

oh thank god

[low dew]

so if one is uesing 7778 and 7777 your new one needs to be 7776 and 7779 or smothing

[severe bison]

But it’s bugged right now

[low dew]

transfers work on my cluster just fyi so its not bugged

[severe bison]

Oh okey bc they said it’s bugged that’s why I said it

[molten glacier]

well that not supriseing me at all atm can even get ob my cluster because Server Version and Clien Version mismatch ^^ need a Clien Update but dont get one

[low dew]

problem is the voice of the few dosnt speak for the many

@molten glacier verify your game relaunch steam restart you computer

have you done all this

[molten glacier]

relunch yes didnt verfy game data yet i try that

[low dew]

i had to restart steam a couple times

[molten glacier]

i had the big 39gb patch

not more so far

[severe bison]

Ahhh

[low dew]

mine was over 40gb@molten glacier so strange

[severe bison]

Mine was the same

[low dew]

did you install scorched earth map from dlc

[severe bison]

Ah no mine was 42gb

[molten glacier]

so there is a 38gb patch AND i have to DL the Map extra ?^^

[low dew]

[molten glacier]

ah ok didnt do that xD my bad

[severe bison]

No

[molten glacier]

but still version mismatch even with my Island server

[low dew]

all i know is my patch was over 40gb for client so somthing is a miss on your end

i suggest restarting your pc

if that dont work head to bobs with probs as this chat is for servers not clients

[severe bison]

@polar echo so I have the cluster up but I can only go to another server not upload my character

[low dew]

@severe bison if your transfering to another server in a cluster it takes all your items with your on your persons if you have it set up correctly

for uploading it self theres a tab in the obelisk or transmitter for it

[severe bison]

yea i transferd over to my SE server

[severe bison]

Where? i only had the option to transfer over to another server

Can i turn it on again or is that not possible?

So do i need new ports too? for my se server

or can i use the 7777 and 7778 port

and what are the new ones? or where can i find them?

[grim saffron]

Why is it stuck on forever loading whenever somone tries to join my server?

[severe bison]

But where do i define which server uses which?

[grim saffron]

it also crashes whenever i try to join

[heady saffron]

I have deleted and reinstalled everything, used the same texts and file paths as I have for the last 4 months, arkascendeddedicated server will go through the update but the server will not even try to start,

[low dew]

@grim saffron donno could be many many reasons to why

[grim saffron]

only after update

[heady saffron]

Is the dedicated server just broke rn or

[low dew]

if it was we would all be down

[heady saffron]

I guess I don't understand why the same setup process and .bats don't start my server up like they have for months

[low dew]

@heady saffron if your having issues with bats i recommend getting a server manager

some times bat files are not for everyone

[severe bison]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword= -winlivemaxplayers=5 -mods="975282,941697,929420,946536,928793,937184,928708,940022,935528,940786,928597,931047,935408,928501,931874,969258,930032,949298,929785,936407,942008,933301,931877,930494,900062,912902,914844,926956,926259,983782,953108,930115,961601,932205,928824,961162,981391,963130,978862,946694,927131" -clusterid= -NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride= ``` this is my bat file there is no define for each port bc someone said it doesn't work anymore on ASA like it did on ASE but how i have my .bat file right her my friends can join and play with me! (ofc i removed everything personal)

[heady saffron]

It updates the dedicated server then just crashes, I don't get the SteamCMD box booting the server

[low dew]

sounds like a configuration issue ill stand by what i said earlier

lol

[severe bison]

fr?

so i use ?listen?port=7777 for the island and 7778 for SE?

[heady saffron]

Nope, goes through the update process then everything closes to computer OS

Oh

[severe bison]

TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7777?SessionName like this?

Thanks!!!

[jaunty vortex]

I think it will ignore ?port and default to 7777.

[severe bison]

that was explained to me too

i will do what Sap said and i will try it

there can't go anything wrong

@distant hearth ey yooooo

[distant hearth]

heres the fun part, if you dont assign a port , asa servers will auto just start the first instance with udp7777 , somehow if one server is running on the same o/s install the second server instance you start it auto assigns udp7778
?port= i cud not get to work, had to use -port= to manually change them from using 7777 and 7778
Obv if you running the servers from one instance/install it is likely different, i never tested that as have plenty disk space

i dont know why ?port doesnt always work , or wont work at all for some people

[severe bison]

-port= so i have to use this?

i'm confused

[distant hearth]

its not gonna matter for u anyway , if your running them on udp7777 and 7778 tbh , but i dont know, i have to use -port=
some others do too, some dont

[severe bison]

i will just try and see if it works

[native wave]

I found you have to use port in the command line if you are running anything but 7777

[severe bison]

if not i will do -port=

[native wave]

that's the only way I could connect to my SE server, it's the only other ASA server I've tried to run

[severe bison]

i could connect right away with no problems

its a bit weird but i will figure it out

[native wave]

despite defining the port in the GUS....it was still using 7777 for the game port for my SE server until I added the -port= in the command line with the port I'm using

[severe bison]

if i add both will it break my server? so if use ?port= and -port=

[native wave]

then the wiki is wrong

Session Settings

[distant hearth]

dunno never tried, aslong both on same port i imagine wudnt care

[native wave]

on the server configuration page

[severe bison]

What should i use now xD -port or ?port

[native wave]

-port=XXXX

where XXXX is the port you are using

[distant hearth]

i have to use -port=xxxx it is the only way i can make it change port number

[jaunty vortex]

Do you always start your servers in the same order?

[severe bison]

For me i didn't even have neither of them in my bat file lol

[distant hearth]

try one an use battlemetrics website, look up your server name and it will tell you what port its running on

[jaunty vortex]

Or there are tools which tell you the open ports on windows.

Google for currports

You’ll find it at nirsoft.

[hallow tiger]

Any update on PreventUploadItems=true issue with transfers for unofficial clusters ?

[spring cairn]

How to download survivor onto Scorched Earth? We replaced our map with SE, but when we go to "Download Survivor", it's empty.

[low dew]

lol

[hallow tiger]

ok thanks @polar echo

[spring cairn]

Surely we don't have to purchase 2 Nitrado unofficial servers side-by-side to transfer our survivor???????

[near snow]

You need to upload on island first then go to scorched and download.

[spring cairn]

I couldn't find the upload in the Tek Transmitter, do I need to upload somewhere else, or do we need to ascend?

[severe bison]

where can i see the port there?

[near snow]

Im Not sure if you can upload thing from transmitter

[spring cairn]

Alright, let me switch the map back to The Island and we'll all go to an obelisk.

[distant hearth]

me either, im new to it all, so maybe i just did something wrong.
ii spent a couple days over the xmas holidays , messing with it working out what wud an wudnt work to try understand the batch files and setup

[lunar cloud]

you can transfer your character using a tek transmitter. I have my island and SE bases linked this way

[spring cairn]

I can only see "Travel to another server", no "Upload survivor" 😦

We only have one server, so swapping The Island to Scorched Earth without running two servers.

[grim saffron]

How to disable the new content on the island map?

[spring cairn]

Do you pay for two servers.

[lunar cloud]

nope, i run 1 server on Digital ocean and run all my ark instances there

[grim saffron]

some other things like boomerang are here and stuff i cant even get

[lunar cloud]

nah this is where nitrado falls flat. They charge per map. At the point where you have more than one map, cloud VMs become way cheaper

[grim saffron]

also whip

and i cant get silk

Pretty much just the ones that are impossible

[severe bison]

Worked Perfect! my SE server is using 7778 and my island server is using 7777

[grim saffron]

I wrote my own sever manager i will try to intergrate that cause it kinda ruins it having wrong map items

👍 just not the way i like to play but thanks

[heady saffron]

So, to inject myself into something I saw mentioned earlier. As far as ports are concerned if I have more than one server(map) the second and every map after the first I will use -port=777X in the same way I add mods and i would leave the ?port=777x? Completely out of subsequent start lines?

Alright

[grim saffron]

Yea but like i have a bigish server and it kinda ruins it having trains etc plus i am an avid programer im sure i could find a way to put it into my manager

wHAt?

[spring cairn]

Does that show up in Unofficial or Dedicated?

[lunar cloud]

yeah unofficial if you self host

[grim saffron]

I know thats how my manager works i already have it interacting with game.ini for config stuff

[spring cairn]

I thought we had to host via Nitrado since they made a deal?

[lunar cloud]

Nitrado owns license that allows them to offer commercial rent for ark servers. Renting a cloud server is different, you're allowed to rent an empty server and host your own server, you're just not allowed to sell those services

if that makes sense

so you can rent an empty windows or linux server from azure, google, aws, linode, digitalocean etc and install things yourself, or if you have some hardware you can do it there too

[spring cairn]

Yeah that makes sense, but I guess that means you are then responsible for updating the ARK when there are patches since it's unmanaged

[grim saffron]

Just confirming to disable engrams its just OverrideEngramEntries=(EngramIndex=142,EngramHidden=true)

[heady saffron]

Is everybody else stuck on 38.14 with their dedicated servers or am I the one that not updating correctly. Should it be 38.15?

[frigid vine]

We all wait for the update 🙂

[lunar cloud]

This is where you script things, or write your own programs.
I have cron jobs that backup my servers to offsite storage for example, RCON port allows you to automate most things

[heady saffron]

Thanks

[pallid kestrel]

So are we waiting for the next patch for unofficial servers to be able to have restricted transfers?

[lunar cloud]

I think they rolled a patch to official for it or had some issue on official with the transfers, so my guess is they're working on that next (i hope)

[spring cairn]

Any open source scripts?

[pale python]

Anyone is stuck in a restart loop on se?

Like always nitrado suuuucks

[serene pivot]

Hey, since the launch of ASA Scorched I can't download the last update of ASA on Steam. Anyone expecting the same trouble ? I need help

I mean I've got a Steam ASA game and Steam said there's an update and I tried to download it but it's stuck. I thought "unofficial" was like "community" help, sry if it's not the good channel I'm French and sometimes some language difference continue to trick me 😉

I just want to update the game, I don't even want to play on server or on solo.

But after I wanna try solo

Thanks

[lunar cloud]

i got my solution on github marcel-dempers/Ark-Docker

Runs on Windows or Linux as long as you have docker installed

[dapper hound]

how do i enable schorched in my dedicated server guyz?

in my launch .bat? thank you sir

thank you so much+

can i keep my old mods or they will nuke the server?

[orchid geyser]

So i have my GameUserSettings.ini set to allow transfers, but im not able to do anything other than just upload my character, and when i respawn it, its naked lol. help

am bob

[slim tendon]

asa ark item downloads are disabled on this server Is that normal?

I clearly have it enabled and can't retrieve it back lol

PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadDinos=False

[fallow birch]

Hi need help if possible we have a nitrado island cross platform server pve and have never been able to lock containers or smithys etc so have had to keep it PW protected we are about to open abse server can anyone help with being able to lock containers

[solid tide]

I have all that in my GUS.ini, but I’m not able to transfer still

[distant hearth]

check for this line too
NoTributeDownloads=False

[slim tendon]

Yeah I have that set on true since I don't want tribute transfers

[distant hearth]

in gus ini , under the header [serversettings]

ForceAllStructureLocking=True

[distant hearth]

that line is misleading, it blocks all transfers, you need it set false

[slim tendon]

Oh really. Will try it now!

[solid tide]

Yeah mine says false there too. I’m trying to transfer naked at this point but it literally doesn’t even show up on the ob. Only upload does.

[distant hearth]

if you only have upload option , it suggests to me the server is not clustered

[solid tide]

Ohhh how do I do that

[distant hearth]

well you need two servers/instances of server running, then cluster them together, depends if self host or nitrado on how u do it

[solid tide]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[fallow birch]

@distant hearth tx will try that asap

[slim tendon]

Ok that seemed to work thanks a lot. Now we still can't transfer to other server. Says: Transferring to another server failed please try again or contact an admin.
The cluster server does show up but when u press transfer you get that message.

I did add clusterID and clusterdiroverride

[distant hearth]

both servers will need that line false , if you didnt do that already

[slim tendon]

Yeah got that

[distant hearth]

hmmm.. both are using the same cluster id and clusterdiroverride path ?

[slim tendon]

Yes

[spare raft]

Hi all 😢 .. Win Serv 2016 every broken ?

[distant hearth]

check the batch files for both an make sure neither of those has notributedownloads=true, some people were adding it early on to stop single player transfering in

[slim tendon]

Nah don't have it

-ServerIP=78.46.109.176 -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -NotifyAdminCommandsInChat -clusterID=`` -clusterdiroverride="C:```"

[spare raft]

I'm currently trying to put it on another machine but the steamcmd tells me No Subscription... Whereas on the server machine it works very well.. a solution?

[slim tendon]

Is what I got (obv correct ID and override)

[spare raft]

// update_ark.txt
//
force_install_dir D:\ARK_ascended
login [Username] [Password]
app_update 2430930
exit

[keen ravine]

hey guys, my nitrado server keeps switching between installing an update and restarting but never installs the update or restarts

[jaunty vortex]

You may find you can’t use the root directory of C. Make a sub directory and use that.

[slim tendon]

Files were being generated there so should be fine?

[distant hearth]

login annoymous

[spare raft]

Good thx xD

Downloading 🤞

And on the other hand, how do I find the server data? They are lost in the game files on the server machine, right?

[distant hearth]

yea im lost too haha

[spare raft]

No no no !!!

[distant hearth]

by server data you mean ?

[spare raft]

I still have everything on the server machine.. I launch it from another PC while I find a solution on the server machine

Ok ...

I try

[slim tendon]

Hmm still says: Transferring to another server failed please try again or contact an admin.
Dont get it.

[distant hearth]

yea shud be , im not sure whats going on to not allow the transfers tbh, try -clusterdiroverride=c:\mycluster
or similar, just to rule it out as an issue

[slim tendon]

I had it set on: -clusterdiroverride="C:\ASA Dedicated Server\clusters\Endurance"

[solid tide]

So I did that, made the crossark id, put it on my scorched, reset server, but when I loaded in, it still just shows upload only. No transfering

I can’t save it, and then just restart?

Just wanna make sure I’m clear

Okay noted. Lemme try that

[distant hearth]

stop server, wait 5 mins, make the changes
save, wait minute, then restart server
use the same clusterid on both servers

[solid tide]

Got it

[golden nest]

I updated the server, but it's still on 38.1 not 38.18

For fuck sake, alright thank you

[meager vault]

Anyone know how to stop cosmetics/skins being transfered so the transfer problem be fixed.

[slim tendon]

Still not working after changing it to: -ClusterDirOverride="C:\MyARKClusterStorage"

[distant hearth]

you cant got wait for the devs to fix

[golden nest]

Can you try -clusterid="anything"

[solid tide]

So what exactly is the issue so I’m prepared for it lol

Ahhhh I see

I shouldn’t have that issue then lol

[slim tendon]

Nope still same line

[lilac osprey]

Anyone else server just stuck in a restart cycle. I have tried reinstalling, limiting the mods i have. Nothing is working and the server turned on for like 60 seconds then restarts.

[desert field]

Yes mine is too

[golden nest]

I'm more confused now, Steam tells me that the dedicated server updated 1 hour ago which is AFTER Scorched Earth update released, so how do I know when Scorched Earth is actually available for dedicated servers?

This system is absolutely atrocious

It literally just released...

[distant hearth]

as a last resort, use ctrl f on both server ini files and check for duplicate lines of the codes related to transfers. presume u already restarted both servers?

[slim tendon]

Already done that. None there

[golden nest]

Correct, and SteamCMD is telling me that it updated 1 hour ago, but what did it update then? Because it wasn't the Scorched Earth map on dedicated

[slim tendon]

Can I pm u the gus? So you can verify

[jaunty vortex]

Notepad++ has a plugin to compare files

[distant hearth]

yea sure

[distant hearth]

eh im old an stupid with computers, will have to try that , thx

[golden nest]

Your link says 1 hour ago, did you actually check?

[jaunty vortex]

I’m old too. I’m also lazy with failing eyesight so find tools to make life easier 😂

[golden nest]

I don't see a lock icon anywhere on the page, what am I missing here

[solid tide]

Omg. New issue, my character was in upload when I shut the server off. I load back in and I can’t download it. So I create a new one. Now when I try to use the admin panel at all, I immediately crash lol.

[golden nest]

Christ I see it now. If you click public, it doesn't actually show anything about public at the top. The "last update" references the playtest, not anything to do with what I actually clicked

Garbage design lol

[limpid glen]

Bobs tall tales stuff isn’t showing on my nitrado server. Anyone else having this issue?

[simple thorn]

Hey all any clue why my SE server will not load i have changed the map name to ScorchedEarth_WP in the bat file but dose not load the map 😦 any clues the server is running the newest patch and if i change it back from ScorchedEarth_WP to TheIsland_WP the server loads fine any clues?

it dose it if i use Steam CMD or just use steam it self for the server files it still dose it

[limpid glen]

But it should work as part of the games that’s what they said

And I can spawn the stuff in in admin but I’m not seeing the engrams

I’ve brought it.

I own it i just can’t see it neither can my pc friend he owns it too but neither can see the engrams

Not that I can think off. I only have new stuff. Like the transferable tributes and dinos

[dapper hound]

guys is the adventure frontier pack out already?

so the oasisaurus is tamable only if i spend the 30 euro?

lol i tought i could by only the adventure pack

[limpid glen]

On nitrado

[dapper hound]

oh i see... so they won't be included in the base game?

yeah now i get it, so is like an addition for those 3 maps

[limpid glen]

I can’t see any setting your on about is it a game or server setting?

But my pc friend has the same issue

Allow only specified engrams in false in the ini

It makes no sense. I have the engram are where they are mean to be they just arnt there. My of friend they don’t even show the section

[quiet trellis]

Nitrado servers still stuck in a loop?

[lilac osprey]

Mine is, i had to submit a ticket cause i have no what to do at this point

[sleek needle]

i think so i can not get mine to work

[chilly cipher]

From what I've read on another discord for one of the mods, people are saying certain mods are causing their servers to go into a restart loop. Some have removed said mods, whilst others are waiting for the updated Devkit to be approved, believe by Cursedforge. Hopefully that will resolve some of the issues.

[slim tendon]

So seems our clustered server can transfer over items but character transfer is still not working. Anyone else with this problem? Transferring to another server failed please try again or contact an admin.

[quiet trellis]

Yeah I believe we will have to wait for a devkit update for the modders to update their stuff

[lilac osprey]

Which sucks, i dont mind trimming down my mods, but i have 1 mod, which is on of the lighter stacking mods, and id rather not try to play without it.

Big sad

[limpid glen]

Anyone running a tirade server that’s wrorking?

Nitrado

[sleek needle]

well i have removed all my mods and server will still now show up

[chilly cipher]

We've been able to get our SE server up and running, I think that's only as we haven't yet added any mods to it. Our Island server isn't up and stuck in a restart loop.

[tall bison]

are there any mods equivalent to dino storage on SE?

[frigid vine]

Anyone found already a solution to disable all bob tall tales engrams (need only the engram classnames). This train is a joke...

[limpid glen]

I wish I could see the engrams. There’s obviously a mod out there that blocks them

[frigid vine]

No mod needed.. all is built-in: OverrideNamedEngramEntries

But cannot find the classNames for now. DevKit still updating

[quiet trellis]

So far Draconic Chronicles, Discovery World and Primal Chaos are confirmed to be causing issues since latest patch and some people having issues with Ark Additions

[sleek needle]

anyone know how to get my server to show up it will start just can not see it in server list

[latent garnet]

Hi, my tribe mate keeps disconnecting for no reason, he has same ping as me, re downloaded game and it happens 3-6 times I'm a hour. Makes the game um playable and we are desperate to find solution.

[quiet trellis]

Nitrado or ds?

[sleek needle]

nitrado

[quiet trellis]

Make sure you don't have any filters on at the top

[raven wigeon]

any1 having problems with clusters??? my island stop showing on the list, only SE appears

[chilly cipher]

Do you have mods running on it? We have the same issue, at least one of the mods is causing the restart loop, we are waiting for the mod to be updated to see if it resolves

[quiet trellis]

Is your island server up? Because lots of servers are stuck in a restart loop

[quiet trellis]

So far Draconic Chronicles, Discovery World and Primal Chaos are confirmed to be causing issues since latest patch

[raven wigeon]

@chilly cipherYes i have a few mods, but its starting ok, no loop

[chilly cipher]

Yeah it's Discovery World that's causing our issues. Same thing happened last update. Believe the dev kit has been updated and awaiting approval

[quiet trellis]

Every update the same issue lol you have to love the mod support

[quiet trellis]

If you can't transfer its an issue with the update itself. Need to wait for a patch

[raven wigeon]

@quiet trellisnop, i have both servers runing, only SE appears , the island doesnt show

[limpid glen]

Anyone able to see bobs tall tales engrams while running mods

[weary valley]

Can i deactive the custom cosmetic?

I have my server, can you Give me the Code für the gus.ini ?

[floral hatch]

So i'm trying to set up my SE map, and what i did was carry over the configs for my island map so the setting would be the same but i cant get it to show up as a SE map...what am i doing wrong?

nitrado

i changed map to SE in the general settings

yes

[stable field]

quick Q - Has Nitrado set up clustering yet ? can we link TI and SE on a cluster ?

[floral hatch]

yes

it couldnt be something in beacon?

i deployed before saving

but i'm obviously doing something wrong still

i just dont know what and our main coder isnt able to get on right now

[midnight perch]

there is an specific zone in scorched where some players are constantly crashing but others not, anyone knows how to solve this?

[floral hatch]

figured it out, had to do another full restart of my game to get it to show right

[pallid kestrel]

why is the train a joke?

[limpid glen]

The moro Rex mod. Causes the dlc engrams to not show.

[limpid glen]

Put the moro Rex mod on your server. It disables all the engrams from showing up

[frigid vine]

Another art of spamming structures on servers.

[frigid vine]

As i said: there is no need for mod. Just the ClassNames is enough and you disble it by INI

[limpid glen]

And I’m telling you that mod will disable all the engrams. I’ve just removed mods one by one and that mod causes all the engrams to not show 🤦‍♂️

[raven wigeon]

@limpid glenwhat mod?

[frigid vine]

But i want to use a mod? Where is the problem 😄

[pallid kestrel]

so you would advise disabling the train before i start up my SE server for the folks? whats the problem with it? people just running amok?

[tawdry rain]

Why in the holy fuck are servers stuck restarting AGAIN

[limpid glen]

Morosrexs

[raven wigeon]

Ahh dont have that mod!!

[frigid vine]

I want to disable all engrams of the paid DLC first, yes, to avoid mad players when i decide to keep it prevented. 🙂 The train is a really bad idea how it is implemented in my opionen.

[limpid glen]

I’m just saying that mod will caus the dlc engrams to not show that’s all

[frigid vine]

Yes thats cool but not the solution what i'm looking for.

[raven wigeon]

my only problem right now is that im hosting both TI and SE in a cluster and TI doesnt show up1!!! They boot up ok but TI doesnt show on the server list

[dire sierra]

Hi All, I'm looking for some help with my ASA unofficial server. Since the 30th march we have not been able to connect to the server (times out). The server is displayed and we have gone over the ports several times by 3 different people. By all accounts ports are open and work, as we are running ASE maps fine. Its just ASA server not working. Has anyone else had this problem? Any possible solutions? Thank you in advance.

[pallid kestrel]

Have you already seen it in action? It sounds dumb af already as a concept and if it involves players laying down tracks... jesus

[pallid kestrel]

Nitrado?

[dire sierra]

no ran on a private server.

[frigid vine]

There are couple of videos online, yes. And again: its my personal decision to prevent frustation for players if i want to keep this disabled items. its not my goal to keep it. But my experience shows that its better to hold things back, test it and braistorm how could it work on my clusters and then bring the engrams maybe back.

You dont need to like it, but also not to blame me 🙂

[pallid kestrel]

Completely agree with you on that part, I am not looking forward to implementing random ideas WC have had.. like adding a train into a game that is built around using dinos for transport. If I find a list of the naming conventions I will be sure to let you know

[frigid vine]

Thanks for understanding my opinion 👍 And another (for me good) reason is:
Its a survival game. I dont like a creature who can survive dead dinos (yes, also not if there is this 24h cd and it Revived as a baby)

And thanks ofc if you find the engram classnames. I'll also try to download asap the dev-kit.

[rich agate]

Best way to make a SE server is to copy and paste the server folder and rename it all?

Is there a guide up yet?

[fickle turret]

The bat file do you have one ?

[rich agate]

No, launching from steam launcher

Have made a second copy of the server folder, then a second executable in my steam library, changed the launch line to Scorched_earth P or something, but not launching..

Lauch line looks like this "ScorchedEarth_P?listen?AllowAnyoneBabyImprintCuddle=False?..."

[dense hill]

I have a bug with the weather events on my Scorched Earth server, the events keep coming one after the other without having a calm period. do you have the same thing? is there a line of code to enter in the game.ini?

[weary valley]

Unfortunately it didn't work, they're still there

[alpine quail]

Not a set up help question but felt like this would a perfect place to ask! What do people use to create server advertisements? Tried using Microsoft Word and it looks absolutely horrible 😂

[manic violet]

can anyone explain here how to add easter colours to nitrado server? there isnt a mod right?

[thorn musk]

hello my server the island crash after update please help me one idéa ?

when a player joins the server it crashes instantly

[solar orbit]

<built-in function input>

[weary valley]

can I travel with it?

[hot wolf]

any way to recover caracthers lost in transfer?

[dense elm]

So my Nitrado server will not start up it says it’s started then it restarts and does it in a loop for about 30 minutes then just fully turns off, I have mods on my server, does anyone know why this is happening ?

[hot wolf]

transfered and was greeted with make a new char screen

[weary valley]

But I want to deactivate items and dinosaurs

[hot wolf]

empty

[quiet trellis]

every major update works like this. It breaks the mods and we have to wait until the devkit is updated and the modders update the mods

[dense elm]

Bro why it’s so dumb, does anyone know of what mods may be crashing my server?

[quiet trellis]

the perks of running a modded server

I knew of a couple of them Draconic Chronicles, Discovery World and Primal Chaos are confirmed and some of the ark additions

[dense elm]

The discovery world mod is the only one I can’t remove basically, I don’t have many mods on my server but it’s a cluster and discovery world is the main one that we take tons of peoples Dino’s

[floral hatch]

it will be under cross ark

[stable field]

yea couldn't see it with my man glasses on, thanks for the speedy reply again 😄

[charred dagger]

To change my Nitrado server's map to Scortched Earth do I simply just change the "Mapname" to it?

[autumn knot]

hey guys, to run a dedicated, can I simply create a copy of the folder structure, change the map name in the launch command and good to go? It downloaded an update, but doesn't seem to want to launch the game, just gets stuck 'booting' in the console

may have worked this out, as usual, it is a user error 🤦‍♂️

[celest halo]

You can run both maps from the same install

[autumn knot]

changed the launch folder and map name, but didn't change the install folder

[autumn knot]

Interesting... didn't realise that!

[rich agate]

Is there a guide for this?

[celest halo]

Don't need a guid just make a 2nd bat file

[autumn knot]

I've been looking but there isn't... there's the dedicated setup page on the wiki, but it references the island

yeah its just a small tweak to the way the island is done from what I can see

[celest halo]

Change map and port and run

[rich agate]

Changed map in the launch line, still loading The Island

[celest halo]

You put right map name in the bat

[quiet trellis]

all you have to do then is to wait for the devkit to be updated and mods to be updated. nothing else can be done

[dense elm]

Do you know how long that usually takes?

[quiet trellis]

Usually take a day or two for major updates, but since its a new map I am not quite sure

[rich agate]

Not using a bat, using the steam library

[celest halo]

not sure you can run both when starting it through steam

[celest halo]

bat one start C:\Users\Stolen\Downloads\arkasa\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="Server Name"?ServerPassword=Somepass?ServerAdminPassword="Somepass" -Port=7787 -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -serverrconoutputtribelogs -forceallowcaveflyers -notransferfromfiltering -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -EasterColors -mods=929420,933099,939228,928548,947033 bat two start C:\Users\Stolen\Downloads\arkasa\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?SessionName="Server Name 2"?RCONPort=27030?ServerPassword=Somepass?ServerAdminPassword="Somepass" -Port=7797 -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -serverrconoutputtribelogs -forceallowcaveflyers -notransferfromfiltering -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -EasterColors -mods=929420,933099,939228,928548,947033

[rich agate]

Problem is, all BAT guides are for using the steamcmd version. Don't know how to get it to work.

[hot wolf]

-passivemods not working with love evolved?

[celest halo]

should just have to change the line to the ArkAscendedServer.exe to where yours is with most of the bat guides

[distant hearth]

why not just use the stm cmd version ? i dunno ifthe steam library version will work running two instances

[rich agate]

Just the one i downloaded and started playing.

[celest halo]

it should if using a bat file to start them

[hot wolf]

same version

[distant hearth]

i guess it works but gonna run into issues when aberation comes out , as they have to share the same ini

[charred dagger]

If I change the map on my server will the Island stuff be lost?

[distant hearth]

yes if you dont make your own backup copies

[hot wolf]

anyone know if -passivemods works with love evolved

[distant hearth]

it shud and was working, but you know there is no need to have that mod active anymore, they put the assets in base game

[charred dagger]

do you by chance know which file it is exactly?

[hot wolf]

when i have it in passive it just starts the mod

[distant hearth]

it must be first in the mod load order iirc

[hot wolf]

it is

[tall bison]

any way to create an ark server for free to play with friends?

other than non dedicated since that has a host tether

[distant hearth]

well theres a few , but basically if you copy the whole saved folder(via ftp if your on nitrado) you shud be good,
or i can give you a break down of what each file does

[charred dagger]

well I can get into each folder, I just need to know which one is the actual stuff on the map. Is it a arkprofile?

[distant hearth]

not sure then, maybe they broke it somehow with latest update, but why have it passive still?

[distant hearth]

.arkprofile is each players profile that joined the map

the current world save being used is theisland_wp.ark
then theres probably tribeprofiles aswell,
just copy the whole theisland_wp folder, that way you have all the backups and anti corupt backups

[charred dagger]

ok so when I go into the server files its broken into 3 categories. arksa, restart.log, and stop

[distant hearth]

arksa\shootergame\saved\savedarks
i wud think is the location from memory
then u will see the folder called Theisland_WP

[stark apex]

Hey is there cross play for non dedicated servers?

[distant hearth]

no

[stark apex]

Damn that sucks thanks tho

[charred dagger]

yup got it. then just try and save that entire thing?

[twilit knot]

Hi , it seem some people make the server crash when they try to connect

[distant hearth]

yea to a safe location, i also copy an paste the ini files seperate and make a note of any mods i was using with it.
but i was looking after loads so , just easier for me to do that

[charred dagger]

yikes lol

[distant hearth]

sounds more complicate dthan it is , i dont explain very well

[dense hill]

I have a bug with the weather events on my Scorched Earth server, the events keep coming one after the other without having a calm period. do you have the same thing? is there a line of code to enter in the game.ini?

[distant hearth]

do you have any ini code thats changing day night cycle? its all i can think might effect that

[desert jasper]

Note: SE dedicated server fails to start on Windows Server 2016.

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/727943-asa-does-not-start-since-the-patch-on-winserver-2016/

[distant hearth]

ah something else they managed to break

[desert jasper]

It'll get fixed in due course. Just a lot of our members trying to cope with the overbearing feeling of anticipointment.

[distant hearth]

yea i bet

[snow swift]

The scroached dlc does it work with a Nitrado servers or is it just single player

[pallid kestrel]

yes it does

[sour sky]

does anyone know how to fix the infinite server restart loop, for nitrado

[ember condor]

hey guys i cant choose the scorched earth map on my own dedicated server (runs on my pc) is it a bug?

[tall bison]

how to create a free server to join with friends? since non dedicated has a tether?

[keen bluff]

If you find out let me know 🤦🏻‍♀️

[haughty badger]

Earlier in the day yesterday we had 3 of us who did the ascension cave. We beat it. 2 of the 3 had no problems but one of them keeps looping back to the download character screen. They select their char, select bed or zone to spawn in, hit the button and it takes them right back to the download player screen. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

[sinful hollow]

We run an unofficial server and want to disable transfers for the first few weeks of SE, only allowing character transfers. But the cosmetic skin place holders are counting as items and not letting people transfer their character over. Anyone find a fix for this that isn’t just opening for full transfers?

Also fix that works for us on nitrado crash loop is for an admin to get in and force a world save

[tall bison]

?

[keen bluff]

If it’s stuck in a restart loop, you can’t even log in, it never comes up to log in

[sinful hollow]

For that type we have to go into the admin panel on nitrado and force it down and push a recent save. Sometimes takes trying a few recent saves and results with a roll back on the server

[distant hearth]

its been broken since transfers firast released , just got wait for the devs to fix it 😦

[sour sky]

ill try it

[keen bluff]

Yeah unfortunately I’ve done that already and still in a loop…

[distant hearth]

you just change the map name in the batch file ,from Theisland_WP to ScorchedEarth_WP

[tall bison]

????

[ember condor]

i dont have a batch file, i startet everytime it over the steam layout

[distant hearth]

ah i see, im not sure if you can change it when running like that or how

[tall bison]

guess noone wants to reply to me

[ember condor]

there is just an option launch the map the island

[distant hearth]

yea sry i dont how you can do it without batch file to tell it to start with a differnt map

[ember condor]

np, thx anyway

[lapis quest]

Anyone found how to fix the locked thing for the new dino?

[zealous hazel]

If you want a server that doesn’t have tether distance, you’ll have to rent one.

[distant hearth]

step1 need a decent pc or spare pc , the server needs couple cpu core and upto 16gb ram to run ,
step 2 , u will need fairly decent internet
step 3 , google how to make stm cmd dedicated server
i have a basic guide i did in txt file but its not finnished, a few people did get servers running using the guide, it if u want me dm it to you

[tall bison]

sure

[winter ivy]

anyone seen when we are getting version 38.18 for transfer fix?

[distant hearth]

no news yet 😦

[winter ivy]

its ridiculouss, they rushed to get it on official then go home for the day...

[distant hearth]

mhmmm from what i seen on youtube of the map the whole thing seems a bit rushed and un finnished to me

[celest halo]

Unofficials are the outcast they don't really care about us

[celest halo]

They probably where more concerned with the DLC so they can get more money then they where with SE

[charred dagger]

all good, it wont let me download the TheIsland_WP as a whole.

[distant hearth]

yea prolly, im not even overly impressed with the dlc tbh and i dont like the bob shitty tale cartoon thing that a child drew, just me though , it just seems cheap an tacky

[distant hearth]

hmm not sure why that is, ive done it before using filezilla i think it was,
what ever just pull all the files one at time that are inside it , into your own folder

[wise ridge]

Anyone having issues with the api plug in?

Anyone have a fix?

[rotund light]

Do you have updated to the 1.15 API. It fixes some bugs with the latest ARK update.

[sonic pawn]

anyone having issues, with dedi servers no loading, they load in say the server on top of the cmd panel then turns off

i have checked every mod used and there working fine.

didnt have this issue till latest update

[shadow bear]

Everytime you execute it makes a log file in... I think /shootergame/saved/logs? Somewhere in there. Take a look in there and see if it has any info.

[wise ridge]

Server crash logs have API, we don't see an update for api

[rotund light]

It is on the new github page. It is not anymore on the gameservershub that is old.

[wise ridge]

Do you have a link by chance?

[thorny granite]

did they fix the tether bug yet guys where u cant turn tether off?

[olive talon]

No, and it's not a bug. That's intended.

[thorny granite]

so its inteneded that no matter how much u move the tether slider its the same?

cause i asked at launch and everyone said that it was a bug and they will add it soon at launch

[alpine quail]

Does anyone know how to solve the issue involving player only transfers? It says I have items on me, which I don’t, and thus cannot transfer. The only thing I can think of is the default custom skins that I can’t drop. I set “give default survivor items” to off, died, and I still have them.

Or the implant???

[empty peak]

you mean with Non-Dedicated ?

[thorny granite]

YEAH

[distant hearth]

its a bug with custom cosmetics, got wait for the devs to fix it or allow full transfers

[winter ivy]

Have to wait for the update

[alpine quail]

Ugh great 😡 Thank you for the info!!! 🙂

[empty peak]

even in ASE there was tethering you cant turn it off you need a Dedecated server

[thorny granite]

in ASE u can turn it up to say 1000000 (by manually typing) and it will the same as having it off but in ASA even if u change it from the lowest to the highest ther is no change

[hot wolf]

anyone have a clustering guide?

[distant hearth]

nitrado or self host?

[hot wolf]

self

[balmy rivet]

Set cluster id

[hot wolf]

had it working when they realesed clustering, cant get it to work now

[distant hearth]

if you look at pinned comments , bout 4th one down , there is an old ase guide, asa basically same, explains it enough .
its simple really just depends if u have the serveres in seperate folders or running from the same one

[balmy rivet]

And make sure they have the same directory. Are they on the same machine

[empty peak]

all I seem to get a the new map screen and Downloading in the bottom right

[drifting juniper]

Sorry if this has already come up its busy in here, is anyone (specifically NOT PS) having trouble joining the island since this update? I had thought it was maybe a mod issue but some of our PS5 players have managed to get on easy and get transferred over to SE, I'm on steam and I can't get mine or my partners game to join Island but both can join SE :/

Just wanting to figure out if it's an us thing or a widespread thing

[distant hearth]

first person ive seen mention it as an issue, tried the usual of verifying files?

[hot wolf]

seems like the servers cant write in the cluster folder

[drifting juniper]

I've verified our files, restarted server multiple times, updated mods manually, removed and reinstalled mods, restarted steam and pcs

[raven wigeon]

jesss when will they remove the valentines splsh screen??? It hurts my eyes

[drifting juniper]

I personally had this problem for ages until I upgraded my hard drive and it went then and other half has never had this issue. It just says timeout all the time, but others are able to join from PS so it seems like an us issue...I also restarted our internet manually

[autumn jay]

Hi,
Is there something special to do when loading the server to enable oasisaur ?
i'm not on nitrado, i'm hosting the server myself installed using steamcmd anonymous

(i own the dlc on my steam account)

[echo frigate]

Have they fixed the transfer issue yet where you start the transfer and it says downloading but hangs indefinitely forcing you to remake a lvl 1 survivor?

[drifting juniper]

Hi, I have a nitrado server and I don't have the DLC and they are spawning in the desert on the outskirts for us

None of our players have the DLC currently

[echo frigate]

I read somewhere the oasisaur spawn regardless of the dlc, but you have to have the master tamer achievement from bobs tales to tame them. Take that with a grain of salt, haven't verified myself.

[drifting juniper]

If you have a lot of titanosaurs spawning it might be worth reducing those or removing them and dino wiping see if that makes them start to spawn

[tardy pine]

Did they ever fix the transfer problem last night?

for unofficials?

[obtuse pawn]

Had this issue, our Island is in a restart loop.

[charred swallow]

Anyone know if gigantoraptor mod works on scorched?

[obtuse pawn]

Are cluster servers still not working properly? v.v

[autumn jay]

ok so probabaly just the ability to tame it is conditionned

[drifting juniper]

Yeah when you approach it, it says you have to have the DLC to tame it

[drifting juniper]

Ours isn't, I beleive a lot of the infinite loop issues are due to particular mods which makes dealing with is problematic. Weve been extremely lucky that we reduced a lot of mods before the rollout of scorched

[obtuse pawn]

Aw man. Do you think it's too late for me to yeet some?

[drifting juniper]

No you can, but the issue with that is your players will lose any mod items then

[obtuse pawn]

Right. Frick.

[drifting juniper]

Last time this happened we just basically said sorry guys but between losing your progress and items and waiting for a mod fix to cook we pick the mod fix and you'll have to wait. They were all pretty okay with it

Bit different now with a new map to play though

[obtuse pawn]

Yeah. Our group is mostly family/close friends so I'm not too worried about a revolt lol!! I’m gonna try taking a few out at a time, see if I can narrow it down.

Is your server clustered??

[keen bluff]

Has anyone figured out what mods may be broken yet?

[obtuse pawn]

I'm gonna try to narrow that down.

I have to assume it's a system overhaul mod right?

[drifting juniper]

I know primal fear or chaos or whatever its called is one of the ones causing issues. Usually building mods can be a problematic one too, but we've got a few in and like I say I've got people able to join the island. Scorched for us is on core mods only installed custom dino levels, stop the steal, peyaloris cryos and my mind has gone blank hang on... edit: pull it! Is the final one

Also yes clustered, we've had players successfully join the island and transfer to scorched with character and items (obviously no modded items not on scorched) intact, but a player has just transferred back and lost entire invent

[hot wolf]

my servers is not making any files in cluster folder, any ideas?

[keen bluff]

No clue… I’m trying not to remove mods yet because a lot of mine are building mods and that’s a lot of bases gone 🤣

[obtuse pawn]

Same boat here 😭

We have the ASR and the Rustic ones, but I think that's it

[keen bluff]

Same

[drifting juniper]

Give me two secs ill edit this with mods I've got on the island that are running and working

Klingers additional structures
Arkitect structures remastered
Klinger additional rustic
RR medieval deco

We've got ark additions heli, xiphan, deinosu, cerato, deinothe
Moros indomitable duo
Pull it
Peyaloris cryo
No untameabkes
Super Spyglass
Stop the steal
Custom dino levels
RR Star Farm
Gigantoraptor

That's all the ones working for us on the island

[river shard]

can anyone help me?

[teal shell]

how do i enable both maps in cluster on asa manager

[rich agate]

Using the steam version of the dedicated server, i can't get it to launch Scorched Earth. Command line starts with ScorchedEarth_P, but it always adds TheIsland infront of it upon launch.

[obsidian sandal]

Shouldn't it be ScorchedEarth_WP for Ascended?

[teal shell]

im using the asa manager i canty post pics but do i need to have 2 seperate profiles and run them simutanasly

[whole wyvern]

Is there a good "how to" for setting up a self-hosted cluster somewhere?

[obtuse pawn]

Check pins

[teal shell]

thats kinda what im looking for

[distant hearth]

pinned comments bout 4th down, is an old ase guide, its pretty much same for asa

[whole wyvern]

oh, awesome, thanks!

[distant hearth]

if u use servers from one folder just add ?altsavedirectory=xxx -clusterid=xxx and if you run from seperate folders use -clusterid=xxx -clusterdiroverride=xxxx,
specifying a path to a shared folder for both servers
where xx is your names / filepaths

[charred swallow]

have you been able to see if gigantoraptor works on scorched? I know it's not supposed to be for that map but i figured if it's a mod it might

[hot wolf]

my servers wont write in it

[celest halo]

Don't need alt save dir if using different maps

[distant hearth]

then they have issues with permissions. did you copy files from another drive setting it up or summit? anyway the .exe needs to be given permission to write

[celest halo]

Each map is its own folder in the save folder

[distant hearth]

good to know , thanks, learning every day 🙂

[hot wolf]

how? tried running ArkAscendedServer.exe as admin with no help

[distant hearth]

hmm wud of expected that to work tbh

[celest halo]

Cluster folder should only have something in it if you upload an item and don't download it or transfer your character

[drifting juniper]

I've not put it on scorched, that's something I plan to try later when a lot of the teething problems are worked out

[hot wolf]

it was working fine when they relesed clusters

[charred swallow]

Fair, that's probably the best call tbh. Thanks for replying!

[hot wolf]

trying to put items in obelisk, they just go away

[distant hearth]

so what made it stop? did u change something? add a mod or plugin or ?

[celest halo]

Oof disappearing means it's not even using default folder

[hot wolf]

no, not running any mods... just stopped playing and waited for SE

[hot wolf]

uploading item to ark...
then nothing

[distant hearth]

when i had it setup wrong it wud try to upload items then just timeout after a while

[normal canyon]

Is there any fix for the Api yet

[hot wolf]

what was wrong?

[frail crescent]

So is the server 2016 issue still a thing ?

[obsidian sandal]

looks like it. i have yet to find anything that fixes it yet.

[distant hearth]

i hadnt set the -clusterdiroverride=xxx correctly, it was a simple typo on my part

[hot wolf]

i tried with and without it, makes no differece

[frail crescent]

God damnit, they haven't even acknowledged the issue

[stray axle]

what is the map line for scroched earth for steam cmd? the island was TheIsland_WP

[obsidian sandal]

ScorchedEarth_WP

[hot wolf]

ScorchedEarth_WP

[stray axle]

thank you ❤️

[distant hearth]

check your ini settings, make sure none are blocking transfers, asa is prone to over writing them ,
failing that just try setting a new directory for them , thats how i wud try fix it

[dusty turtle]

i have also problems with server 2016... 😭 -> The procedure entry point SetThreadDescription could not be located in the dynamic link library

[obsidian sandal]

same. most likely we will have to wait until WC pushes a patch to fix it.

[snow crow]

Excuse me, a question, does anyone know why I only get pves on the official servers?

[dusty turtle]

they also have problems, so i read it

[distant hearth]

probably trying to use windows store version of asa

[north valve]

To play scorched earth do I just change the command line on my server startup from TheIsland_WP to ScorchedEarth_WP?

[dusty turtle]

i use the Steam Version via cmd.. how do i get the windows store server version??

[snow crow]

In that version only the pve servers appear?

[limpid glen]

Anyone noticing a severe lack of wyverns on SE

[distant hearth]

sry its unrelated to server setup? windows store version of asa is not allowed on offical pvp due to no anticheat

[distant hearth]

windows store version of asa is not allowed on offical pvp due to no anticheat

[distant hearth]

ah i see now, they broke older versions of window server , just got wait for the devs to fix it

[snow crow]

I understand I had that problem, thank you very much king

[hot wolf]

still a no go

[north valve]

Anyone knows?

[limpid glen]

Anyone noticing a severe lack of wyverns on SE

[distant hearth]

do you use any api or such on server? another person here one the api he used was blocking it for some reason

[tepid swallow]

Does someone know how the server launches with incorrect ports? Like how I set it on 7777 but it gets listed on 7779(on battlemetrics)? (but also consequently don't show up on a list?) and all we did was to wait for the Scorched earth update to hit? It was working prior to this.

[distant hearth]

use -port=xxxx in the batch file ,
where xxxx is the port u want to set

[tepid swallow]

-port and the ?port?

[timber stirrup]

any idea how start.bat files get out of whack? I can copy a working one, edit the mapname and save it, and then i get the error that it can't find ScorchedEarth_WP?listen? blah blah blah.

[distant hearth]

i have to use -port=xxxx , ?port=xxxx will not work for me

[tepid swallow]

Oh I see I will try that!

[hot wolf]

api?

[north valve]

To play scorched earth do I just change the command line on my server startup from TheIsland_WP to ScorchedEarth_WP?

[distant hearth]

plug ins tthat do stuff on server , if u dont know then im guessing you dont have one . im not overly familiar with it, something to do with the person using a sever manager

[tepid swallow]

Thanks this worked atleast to the point the server shows up again!

[hot wolf]

then no

[distant hearth]

yea, its a weird thing with asa servers, some say ?port works , it wont for me, using that just makes them use default ports 7777, then 7778, then 7779

[distant hearth]

sry idk then , double check the batch files make sure there isnt anything blocking transfers an that there both set using same id an dir override

windows 10

[tepid swallow]

Funny thing is that it worked up until when I restarted them all for Scorched Earth but the -port seems to have fixed it now!

Win11

[distant hearth]

hmm, interesting, seems like thats the difference an likely why doesnt work

[frail crescent]

@proven prawn please acknowledge the issue with Server 2016. We need information about this and cannot start our servers!

[distant hearth]

yea they will run on like 7777 default for first server, then the second that starts with another running defaults to 7778 , etc etc

[humble thicket]

Any modded/plugin unofficials able to run servers with stability? Last WC updated was for a fix in 1.5 hrs, then after several hours an update, now radio silence for 9 hours.

[distant hearth]

yea its interesting but wud make sense why ?port works for some an others have to use -port

[celest halo]

?port was for ASE, ASA uses -port

[distant hearth]

lmao , i suspect it wud work, i think home versions of windows are ignoring the ?port for some odd reason

[inner cloud]

All I can think of off the top of my head is you do not have the right path set in your batch file for scorched earth? I still cannot even launch my server due to the EntryPoint issue

[celest halo]

You also using amp witch could be auto changing it when it starts the server

[inner cloud]

@polar echo do you know if anyone running windows server datacentre 2019 is having the same entrypoint issues?

damn....

[limpid glen]

Anyone noticing a severe lack of wyverns on SE

[inner cloud]

Just about to install 2019 eval, with datacenter license on the way damn it...

[rich agate]

Anyone know why this bat file doesn't start the server correctly? start C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_P?listen?Port=7779?QueryPort=27017?SessionName=xxx? -nosteamclient -game -server -log -crossplay

[celest halo]

Map name is wrong

[rich agate]

merci

Still not working >.<

[celest halo]

Also looks like spaces in your path and no "

[rich agate]

ah, i think its working now...

[distant hearth]

start C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?Port=7779?SessionName=xxx -nosteamclient -game -server -log -crossplay

?listen not needed, ?queryport no longer used
a \missing , ?port=xxx may or may not work, we think it works on windows server versions but not home version, also a ? in wrong place

[errant fox]

They fixed transfers yet?

Lol that makes sense

[inner cloud]

about right

[wide plume]

anyone here know how to get the steam server app to launck scorched and not the island

[gloomy sentinel]

have you guys been able to allow the download of items between servers on your cluster?

[jaunty vortex]

Do you need -game and -server?

[stiff onyx]

anyone know how to change the server tame rate?

[distant hearth]

no i never used them , id have to look up what they do on the wiki tbh

u can start an acended with just arkascendedserver.exe from the exe location .
it will default to port 7777udp and assign it some randome name, that can be found in the gus ini

[wide plume]

how do i set up the bat files

[jaunty vortex]

Shows them under client only options. I think both say the same

“This is an option to start the Unreal Engine Editor (i.e.: the Ark DevKit) the uncooked assets. There is no use for the command on either the client or server.”

[distant hearth]

Start C:\arkserver1\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willzlaptop"

this will start an run an asa server from my .exe location , name it willzlaptop and the server will be joinable an fine to play on aslong as i have port 7777udp opened for incoming connections
you only need start at the beginning so it auto closes the batch file ,

[timber stirrup]

Trying to get that going i wanted to see how the update did first with it. Hard part is that making some changes in teh game.ini or gus.ini that aren't present in the gui seemed to have broke it.

[alpine quail]

Is it just me or Ark? Testing transfers before giving the green light for my server. I’m able to transfer but then am stuck on downloading survivor, eventually forcing me to close the game. Character lost, every time.

[timber stirrup]

yeah, it was the gus changes for things like babymaking. I've used beacon a bit, that'd be cool. does it have issues with putting in the code for Automated ark, or qol stuff? or is it just changing some of the regular settings?

[sleek needle]

do u not get dessert clothing any more

[alpine quail]

Thank you! Guess it’s just best to create a new character for SE then 😩 lol

[distant hearth]

double check both server ini are set correctly and the cluster id are the same etc , if u can transfer but not download survivor , seems like it might be blocked on the server you travelling too to me

[alpine quail]

Will do, thank you!!

[pure haven]

@distant hearth for ports ?port= not working in asa for sure but -port= does work well

[distant hearth]

the one must people miss or forget to check is that this needs set false
NoTributeDownloads=False

[void tusk]

Anyone else can't open the inventory of the wild oasisaur?

[thorny sage]

is there a way to make item and dino downloads working on my nitrado server? cryos go poof and downloaded dinos get reset to level 1

[raven wigeon]

can't go from SE to island, it says i have items, but im empty

[pure haven]

We just had problem with ports on our cluster where all ports got mixed up and all batch files was using ?port but real ports that was showing up on battlemetrics was different

[stiff onyx]

wheres the game config folder??

[void tusk]

yes
i think its because of ForceAllStructureLocking=True

[pure haven]

Fixed it by replacing ?port with -port and everything worked again

[stiff onyx]

wheres the game config folder?? for a personal server

[pure haven]

Win

Win 11

[distant hearth]

i bet they were setting to 7777, 7778,7779 etc, it auto does that if the port isnt assigned , ?port=xxxx we think might only work on server versions of windows

[raven wigeon]

is there any fix for the going from SE to Island empty?? it says i have stuff , but i dont have anything

[rich agate]

Where do I put the port numbers? In the BAT file?

[distant hearth]

it seems to much coincidence now right, that home versions cant use ?port

[stiff onyx]

wheres the game config folder??

[inner cloud]

Shootergame/Saved/Config

under that path for the configs typically for servers

[stiff onyx]

thx

[distant hearth]

ini configs ?shootergame\saved\config\windowsserver

[brave obsidian]

Hey everyone, my ARK SA server doesn't want to update, steamCMD tell me this : Update state (0x11) preallocating, progress: 0.00 (0 / 11489889063)
Error! App '2430930' state is 0x202 after update job.

how i'm supposed to do ?

[distant hearth]

yea , well only for me as test servers , till more maps come out then i probably rent a dedi machine

[distant hearth]

what command you using to tell it to update ? it shud look similar this ,
start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

your file path will be differnt is all

[stiff onyx]

where would i put tamingspeed multiplier?

[distant hearth]

validate isnt needed but i use is as crap internet

[brave obsidian]

start "" /b /w /high "%SteamCMD_Dir%\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "%Server_Dir%" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

[distant hearth]

you wud adjust it in the gameusersetting.ini , shud already be there

[distant hearth]

hopefully someone else can help with that, i not sure what the thing is doing, maybe a powershell command? im not that adavanced an do it manually

[jaunty vortex]

It’s the same binaries though. I have trouble believing they would make a different version for a server OS.

[spare raft]

Any new for server 2016 ?

[distant hearth]

me too, just seems weird to me a sever version can use the ?port

[spare raft]

😢

[brave obsidian]

my server always use this command since jan.2024 and never did me that, wierd

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve used both but I was also only running one map.

[brave obsidian]

well i think i found the problem.. not enough storage space, 539mb remaining on local disk lmao

[jaunty vortex]

You’re passing arguments to the same binary though. I’m running my server on Windows 11 Pro. I have used both methods. But I only used port 7777 so it may have defaulted to that port.

[amber shell]

can someone helpo me with server settings? i want 3x server but im confused

[distant hearth]

oh , not good

[plush dust]

still no update to fix this restart loop wow ... realy don't understand my fresh server with scorched work fine with same mods but my island now got blackscreen and a restart server after 1min with exis4ting character and with new character able to join but still got the restart after 1min

[distant hearth]

best cry to nitrado, worst host providers ever, theres a reason many ,many people learn how to self host lolz

[brave obsidian]

this was it, added some storage space and now it download the new update

[distant hearth]

i will never give nitrado another £ of my money an still have to deal with there shit for friends etc lolz

[plush dust]

give me the 101 course on hosting please😭

[distant hearth]

i used them for years, with ase server , xbox version so no choice, was always a nightmare

at one point i was sort of managing about 25 servers, alot for differnt people , that were friends, or friends of friends etc lolz,
every major update kept me very busy for a day or two

[light lily]

Hello, i'm only to have error when i start a dedicated server?
i have this error procedure input point setthreaddescription not found

[distant hearth]

to self host from a pc?

[plush dust]

ya lol

[distant hearth]

bout dozen of them were affiliate servers, i have a friend that used stream, then ended up doing other stremaers servers etc over the years

[light lily]

Because the patch of SE?

[distant hearth]

i will dm u a guide i had starting working on, its not great but a couple of people have got servers working using it .
i havent had time to edit it properly as i dont always explain things well

thats how much nitrado annoys me, i started making a guide to help people self host lmao

[dusky radish]

Whats the name of scorched earth to put in a map variable? Like : theisland_WP?

Is it scorchedearth_WP?

thank you

[distant hearth]

just so u know it doesnt have the ? mark on the end , that ? is used to start a command line argument

the more that do it the better, if i can work it out , anyone can , maybe nitrado will get better , hahaha but i doubt it

[loud comet]

i can't find it on the wiki, anyone remember what command line it is to make your MOTD last longer?

[plush dust]

thank you for the link but im already lost after 2 lines omg and like i see i need Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version is that free and realy never work with that omg im the greatest noob !!! lol

[distant hearth]

[MessageOfTheDay]
Message=xxxxxxx
Duration=20

in gameusersetting.ini , 20=the seconds it lasts

[plush dust]

can yu run 2 server at time on same pc ?

[distant hearth]

if pc good enough yea

[loud comet]

ty friend, much appreciated

[distant hearth]

i run 3 on mine without an issue but , it depends on player count, mods used, specs etc

[obsidian moat]

Asking again because nobody knew earlier, is there a config that correlates to the amount of kills a baby needs for the gigant bonding? My babies mature fast and the imprint amount per cuddle is raised, but babies in the gigant saddle still require an obscene amount of kills that isn’t possible before they mature

[dusky radish]

Would I have to add any lines of code If I wanted to start a bobs tales scorched earth? Or does the clients themselves simply have to just purchase bobs tails to unlock engrams and etc?

[distant hearth]

yea that is about what i figure nitrado are using, i suspect there kinda cheating an using some sort shared resource virtual machines, so if one server not using much it passes on to one that does

[loud comet]

did unofficial get the patch to fix transfering?

[spiral citrus]

nah, its only been 15hrs

[distant hearth]

i havent seen anything related to that , as usuall wildcard treats us like mushrooms

one of theese days a wc dev will come in this channel an actually see the headaches they cause by not sharing or being clear on the information released when they add things

[loud comet]

you have great optimism my friend

[distant hearth]

prob 50% or more of there community is unoffical ,not to mention the extra revenue from rented servers through nitrado, one can expect just a little more info.... one day

[serene shore]

when you guys have the server launched do you just see the ports
UDP 0.0.0.0:7777 :
Im not seeing the query port show up

[distant hearth]

asa doesnt use a query port, that was for ase servers running through steam

[celest halo]

Yup, we make them the most money and they treat is like the black sheep of the family 🤣

[cursive oasis]

i tried to steamcmd the server file for SE and it gave me a DRM error happen for anyone else?

[wet heart]

anyone having issues where a new nitrado server is stuck in a restart loop after just changing the name and map?

[distant hearth]

possibly, no one knows there finaces xactly, you wud figure they paid off the loan with asa sales revenue

[stray axle]

i dont get the start bat file to work for the scorched earth server first time i'm trying steam cmd. anyone who can help on what code is good for a start bat file? my updater works only not the start file.

[loud comet]

I don't really understand why unoffical server version is lagging behind in the first place?

[distant hearth]

nitrado? if so u want to leave it running for like 20 mins before making any changes

[plush dust]

porocessor intel core i7-12700 ,video card geforce rtx 3080 , motherboard asus prime z7290-a memory kingston hyperx fury 16gd ddr5 5200 masterwatt 750 watts et6c it seem ok for that ?

[blissful trout]

My server is not constantly restarting but when someone tries to connect to it, then it will restart and give them a time out error. 😞

[distant hearth]

interesting , might be someone smart can figure it out for non nitrado

[distant hearth]

1 server be ok

[dusky radish]

Could I simply copy the folder using steam cmd i used for my theisland_wp and just rewrite in scorchedearth_WP?

I suppose I would have to also back up and delete the save file or would starting a cluster be easier?

[celest halo]

Most of them just query EOS for server info 😂

[distant hearth]

it wont play an run a server on 16gb ram , wont be a nice experience anyway

[plush dust]

and i imagine if i host 1 i can't crossark with a nitrado sever <

[wet heart]

that might be the problem ill do another reinstall and let it sit for 20 minutes thank you

[distant hearth]

no nitrado wont let you do that

[plush dust]

so im jam with nitrado

[distant hearth]

best you can do is pull the data from it an move it to your own , or to a rented server you setup self . its worth doing the research, nitrado are a headache

[gaunt basalt]

Anyone got problem on Unofficial transferring.

[distant hearth]

if you have good internet, prob worth getting a cheap pc, to run a cluster on ddr4 ram is cheap enough now

[loud comet]

unofficial is still waiting on the patch to fix transferring, no ETA currently

[distant hearth]

transfers are sort of fine if you allow them fully with items an dinos, they broken an wont work if you dont allow that

[loud comet]

ohh that's good to know

[distant hearth]

12 hours left on my ark game update lolz, i hate my internet

[loud comet]

:/ i was blessed by the universe to have good internet

[distant hearth]

the joys of living in the middle of nowhere in the uk

[small shore]

any solution for SetThreadDescription ? after update it doesnt let the server to start up... self-hosting

[distant hearth]

nothing yet , its a issue with older versions of windows server , update the version or wait

[astral cloud]

Bummer I was just coming in to see if there was a patch to fix it yet lol

[small shore]

so i would need windows server 2022 then... ?

[hardy finch]

Currently running a cluster with Island and Scorched on Windows Server 2019

[mystic swan]

Any ETA on the issues causing Unoffical to not transfer characters to SE?

[distant hearth]

im suprised people still use older versions tbh, keys arent terrible priced now days if you look through google

[astral cloud]

Well i guess I have to figure out if it's time to upgrade or wait

[hardy finch]

Windows server 2019 works just fine.

[distant hearth]

yea i get everyone dont use keeys, not really sure why when u can buy retail cheap , but oh really? wow thats ermm scammy with the cpu core thing

[inner cloud]

keys are not the issue, but once you start getting up over 24 cores...

[distant hearth]

i guess im just old an used to crap , 24 cores seems crazy haha , i guess i shud stick to mechanics haha

[inner cloud]

the 2019 data centre license I bought will work fine for my 12 physical core dual cpu server... but too bad if I upgrade the server to a more current system with a lot more than 16 cores.

[sleek parrot]

Anyone know the new commands to clear the storms on SE? The ASE commands don’t seem to work.

[inner cloud]

I have 36 physical cores across 6 cpu's in 3 servers... thankfully the 2 that run the ark SE cluster and other games are able to run under linux 😄

[loud comet]

is there really that much advantage with running windows server vs regular windows?

[inner cloud]

it's why I went for the 2012 R2 version of the server initially - wasn't worried about being hacked (very limited access to the server from the outside) wasn't worried about updates etc as the games normally running on that machine work fine... It's just ASA that has basically forced me to update to a license model I DO NOT LIKE lol

remote access and management is why even at home 😄

[loud comet]

can't you set up those features on regular windows?

[gaunt basalt]

No I have transfers for items and characters enabled but everytime I transfer and click download after picking spawn it sticks on that screen and nothing happens, lost character twice 😑

Sucks! I'm trying a new cluster I'd see if that helps 😞

[loud comet]

what's the command to restrict transfers from servers other than your cluster?

[craggy wraith]

Hi, did anyone ever had a problem with spawing in a modded dino? I try to spawn in an Acro for Ark Additions, but I keep getting a message "Not Allowed in this map" And I don't have or find the according setting to turn it off

[hot wolf]

would someone with a working cluster mind sharing config with me?

[stray axle]

how do i make a scorched earth server with steam asa dedicated server with Library?
(not steam dmc)

[hot wolf]

same way

[stray axle]

installed the program and just click on start? it does notting

[hot wolf]

still need to make batch files and config

[stray axle]

how?

[distant hearth]

the only setting i know relating dinos an maps is ,

CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=true

you can try that , game user setting ini , under [serversettings]

[stray axle]

i tryed following steam dmc and bat file script things on youtube but they all fail very hard and are not working. i get it to install but it wil never start up.

[cursive oasis]

is this the right app id 2849450 for asa SE

[loud comet]

do i need to add something other than my steam ID in the AllowCheaters file?

i put just the steamID and it didn't work

[distant hearth]

i will dm you a guide i was working on, a few people have got it to work using it

[hardy finch]

Dm'd you my working bat files

[craggy wraith]

Hi, thanks for replying, the weird thing is, if only affects the Acro. All other modded dino's I can spawn in. It affects both my singleplayer & my 3 servers. I tried that setting, but still get that message. That setting should only have affect on Abberation.

[loud comet]

ah so there's no way to whitelist admins currently?

[celest halo]

No

[loud comet]

NGL sapphire you're a goat for chilling in this channel and being so helpful

[celest halo]

It's same app id you been using since October for a ASA server

[stray axle]

that would be very helpfull 😄

[distant hearth]

yes it shud only effect ab, i just thought maybe on a hunch it might work, kinda odd, have you tried in the mod discord?

[distant hearth]

sent it, you shud be able just use the start batch file part of the guide, but honestly, id reccomend doing the stm cmd server route, much better control

[loud comet]

ugh not being able to whitelist admins is problematic for someone who wants to run and open server and stream, i guess i'll just hide the command console when i enter it lol

[distant hearth]

you can whitelist on self host, not sure about bnitrado

[oak flame]

Good evening, I have a problem with my server restarting by itself every time I restart it.

When I delete the save everything works fine but when I put back a save I had made the server reboots in a loop.

Do you have a solution please? thank you

[celest halo]

It does work been using it for a few months

[loud comet]

how does one go about this? or is there a guide you can point me to?

[distant hearth]

they fixed it a few updates ago, i had it working , but havent tested latest update, still downloading lolz

[craggy wraith]

No, not yet, I can't seem to find a working discord invite link to his discord.

[spiral citrus]

AdminListURL="websiteURL" for whitelist admins

[distant hearth]

crap ermm i think i just pointed it at a .txt file on my d drive , inside that i just put my eos id

[spiral citrus]

works fine for us

[covert heron]

How are nitrado Server That you Pay for ? Are they worth it can you add mods can you Play on Scorched Earth ?

[spiral citrus]

server 2019

took a few attempts, pastebin raw format worked a treat though

[celest halo]

AdminListURL="URL/AllowedCheaters.txt" works fine for me

in GUS

[loud comet]

ok so, create a text file called AllowedCheaters.txt, put your EOS ID (Which you can get from your implant?), and then add the command line AdminListURL="URL/AllowedCheaters.txt" where?

am i understanding this correctly?

[celest halo]

implant is not EOS ID

[loud comet]

how does one find their EOS ID then?

[celest halo]

think ShowMyAdminManager shows EOS, or the console window when you login to the server

[tacit ether]

What server manager are ya'll using for dedi servers?

[celest halo]

none

[hardy finch]

SteamCMD

[tacit ether]

Just running it off files?

[celest halo]

thats not a server manager lol

[distant hearth]

you can also get it from the server window when connecting, also the eosid.arkprofile if u look at in text , will have the char name , so then u know who it relates too

[ocean crater]

Hey, since official is totally full and no sign of new servers, I have set up a dedicated on my PC (same as I play on but different SSD). I have done the SteamCMD part, server set up ok and runs, but I can't connect for love nor money. No view of it when I search in the server list, I have tried console command 'open 127.0.0.0:7777' and I either get nothing or a black screen

[hardy finch]

I meeaaan, thats what I was alluding too

[covert heron]

How are nitrado Server That you Pay for ? Are they worth it can you add mods can you Play on Scorched Earth ?

[tacit ether]

I'm running ASA off bat files atm but wanted to switch to a manager to make it easier lol

[tacit ether]

Nitrado is shit lol

[distant hearth]

did you do port forwarding? also sometime the server show running but just wont let you connect if its been setup wrong

[covert heron]

Then which Server Provider do you recommend

[ocean crater]

Not sure tbh, new to this - I did change inbound port on my wf.msc settingd

[wet heart]

anyone having issues where a new nitrado server is stuck in a restart loop after just changing the name and map? I did let the server stay on for over 20 minutes before shutting down and making the changes but still in a restart loop

[distant hearth]

the router also needs to allow the port used in server setup through, udp7777 by default on asa

[tacit ether]

LOL nitrado is garbo.. just run a server yourself of your PC or rent a server

[covert heron]

Is it True That they Prevent Virtualised private Servers Form Working

[ocean crater]

will give that a go

[distant hearth]

so it came on for 20 mins an ran fine? but then u changed one setting an it boot looped?

[wet heart]

yupp trying to make it a SE server not island

[distant hearth]

ughh bloody nitrado, i wud install another game to the server anyone doesnt matter , let that install an run 10 mins.
shut it down wait 5 mins
then reinstall ark, let that install an run atleast 20 mins ,
shut it down wait 5 mins ,
chnage the map ,
save it ,wait a min , then restart it .
let it run 10 mins or so. then shut it down , wait 5 mins an make rest changes

[wet heart]

ill se what i can do thank you!! Ill be back if it fails lol

[distant hearth]

if what i suggested fails u have to bug nitrado as its just a bad server

[modest rune]

Is the transfers issue fixed yet?

[distant hearth]

no

[modest rune]

Dam, hopefully they roll that out soon

[distant hearth]

fingers crossed

[celest halo]

It's only been 15 hours since they fixed it for officials, unofficials might get it sometime this week

We get it next big patch in a few months 🤣

[modest rune]

In theory, it's just something they have to push to nitrado. Besides, nitrado runs the official servers too.

[distant hearth]

i think wc just rent server space from nitrado for officials an run them there selves

[gritty kite]

Do you have to pay for a server?

[celest halo]

That or they just renting rack space in the Datacenters with the amount of official servers it's has to be a few racks worth of servers

[loud comet]

doing the adminlistURL worked for me

[distant hearth]

for your own yes, even though people say free with self host, still got pay for leccy, internet, pc maintencence etc

[loud comet]

i uploaded it on github, i can DM you the link to the instructions i followed

[gritty kite]

Can you even make a server (not singleplayer) on ps5?

[distant hearth]

yea i wudnt want there bill each month

[clever trail]

Anyone know what the map name is for SE as the wiki is still not updated

[loud comet]

did you make the file public and raw?

[clever trail]

The island is TheIsland_WP

[distant hearth]

no, u can do non dedicated but thats just glorified single player using p2p networking an kinda crap

[celest halo]

You using link to raw file or normal one with all the http bloat

[gritty kite]

Ty

[celest halo]

That very odd, you check for random whitespaces in the file

[pure haven]

Can try gravel host. Been using it for month for my server before switching to self hosted. Didnt really had any problems with them but i dunno if they have option for clusters

Also nitrado is not only who hosting ark already

Quite a bunch of other less popular providers but not sure about their quality

[loud comet]

Is there really no way to favorite servers anymore?

[covert heron]

Is gravel Host Good and Save ?

[covert heron]

Does it allow mods and has it scorched earth?

[harsh pilot]

Anyone having issues with DAG structures and QOL

[pure haven]

It does allow mods and modded maps but im not sure if it got updated for SE yet. Might wanna ask their support. I swapped to self hosted already and not using gravel host anymore

[harsh pilot]

I get dashboarded when I join island atm

[undone hearth]

Hello everyone, I have this problem, on the server players cannot access the wild oasisaur inventory, tell me how to fix this

[pure haven]

They did buy a dlc? Cant interact with it if they didnt buy dlc

[undone hearth]

Yes they have dlc @pure haven

[void tusk]

run into the same problem. With activated ForceAllStructureLocking it is not possible to tame the oasisaur

[undone hearth]

@void tusk thank you very mutch

[timber stirrup]

might be the formatting of the url. depending on where you keep it you might need to do something like "file//C:\folder\whatever.txt" that's what i use, or a publicly avialable share somewhere

[pure haven]

Wait really? Doesnt official servers also have structure locking enabled. How ppl tame it there

[void tusk]

normaly every pve server should have locked structures by default. But if i deavtivate this setting all new chests are open ...

but then i could tame the oasis lol

[mystic swan]

If the owner of a server buys Bobs Tales for his/her server on Unofficial can anyone in that server use the Bobs tales without buying it? Or every person in that unofficial server has to buy it?

[void tusk]

everyone need to buy it

[distant hearth]

its linked to player accounts, everyone that wants to use the dlc stuff has to buy it

[nocturne citrus]

How do i switch my server to scorched earth?

[mystic swan]

Ahh gotcha Ty

[pure haven]

They dont need to buy it to play on server but if they want dlc content they need to buy it

[ocean crater]

That didn't seem to work. It looks like it will connect (ark sphere/world screen) then just goes black or I get the following: Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000002fc9

[stark thorn]

is there velos on SE?

[marsh elm]

Anyone getting constant timeouts on the island ?

[distant hearth]

velos were exctinction

[distant hearth]

that looks like a client error not a server one, is the pc capable of running a server and the game ?

[clever trail]

Is clusters allowed yet?

[distant hearth]

yea have been for months but there is issues

[clever trail]

Non nirado

[clever trail]

Ohh oky, and issues?

[subtle wedge]

What is the level name for Scorched Earth on Ascended?

[bleak ivy]

ScorchedEarth_WP I believe

[subtle wedge]

Thanks

[clever trail]

Like i have island up and running like a "tap" but now the Scorched i got the map up end also working added the clusterID and the clusterdiroverride but the 2 don't see each other

[distant hearth]

you can have full transfers with items an dinos , or no transfers, as item restrictions break it atm due to custom cosmetics

[deft stone]

same cluster id, same savefolder?

[clever trail]

yes same clusterid and the savefolder is also the same path as the 2 maps are seperate installs on the same machine (2 folders for the 2 maps)

should anything be added in the ini's?

[distant hearth]

also check the transfer filters in ini and command line
notributedownloads=false
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False

both servers

[clever trail]

I'm using a bat file to start the server so should i just add those args next to one another with the "-" before

and also in the game.ini or gameusersettings

[distant hearth]

no,. those can go in gus ini , they may already be there, just make sure set to false, if u have commands like that in bat blocking them, delete the command or set false

[clever trail]

Oky will quickly check thank you so far

[celest halo]

Adding to both bat and ini is a wast of time, anything set in the bat overrides what's in the ini

[clever trail]

Oky added them and starting both will test and revert

[distant hearth]

they shud be set to that as default iirc
but dont sup[pose it hurts to add an make sure , aslomng as they wernt there beforehand

[celest halo]

Seperate installs is a waste of HD space if your using the same ini settings for both maps

[distant hearth]

i like the bat to be clean as possible, seen weird issues where server runs but dont actually be able join otherwise

[clever trail]

I know but the info on asa and the server is so limited that i'm afraid of having them together. Will probs sort it out later thanks

[slow turtle]

Hey, could someone send me Seetings for ark asa for a private server that I can maybe do copy paste, everything should go pretty quickly like taming etc,,,, it would be great if someone could help me pls pn me ❤️

[hasty valley]

I have a question about rates configuration and dynamic config. I have a 4x rate server but I would like to "participate" in EVO events like official. If I use dynamic config this doesn't seem to be possible as the rates are adjusted to the dynamic config. I'd be fine if my normally 4x server was boosted to 8x (2x evo) or even 12x (3x evo) but it doesn't seem to be an event multiplier as much as it is an override. Thoughts on how I can have my servers participate?

[celest halo]

Only thing I put in the bat is overrides that I want different for each map, common settings for all maps are in the ini files

[distant hearth]

i been running mine in seperate folders, the bat is clean as can be lolz

[woven linden]

If my server that I'm setting up locally shows up in battle metrics, shouldn't I be able to see it from within the Ark Client UI?

I haven't spun one up since around when ASA came to consoles, so maybe something has changed. I can see it in battle metrics, but cannot seem to see it on Xbox or via steam. It could be that maybe it's going out but not coming back in or maybe I have something else wrong. But I would have thought if it shows up in battle metrics that it was found.

In the client UI I am showing the player servers along with checking the password box as it has one. On the server I set -ServerPlatform=ALL I think I have it allowing the FW through and port forwarding on my router set up properly. Using default ports and allowing 7777,7778,27015 for the ports.

[leaden magnet]

so the level of my moralitops on my onofficial just randomly got reset to 1 and not gaining xp? any ideas of what could have caused it is it a server thing?

[distant hearth]

manually change the rates when u want, or set up your own dynamic config file an host it

[hasty valley]

make sure you have tcp/udp for 7777

[woven linden]

Pretty sure I did, but I'll check again, thank you.

[hasty valley]

I was thinking about watching the official one and running a transform job on a local copy when changes are detected....

[distant hearth]

asa only needs a udp port, default is 7777udp
u will need to allow incoming connections on it through firewall and router
-serverplatformall is not needed as it defaults to that

[celest halo]

TCP is not needed

[hasty valley]

sweet

most portforwards default to tcp initially.

so make sure udp was specified.

[woven linden]

Huh, well, I'll remove the serverplatform all, but if it shows up in metrics with all doesn't that mean it's seen and should show up?

I definitely was doing udp before, but didn't have tcp as I thought I read it wasn't needed like others indicated.

[clever trail]

Nope still can't see either no matter where i am

This the is startup file i'm using

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?SessionName=""?ServerAdminPassword=? -AllowSpeedLeveling -port=7779 -servergamelog -RCONEnabled -NoBattlEye -clusterID=123456-clusterdiroverride="C:\ASA Cluster" -mods=929110,929420,929902,928621,927090,947733,927131,914844,926956,945368,955932 -passivemods=927090

All that changed is the map name

[distant hearth]

not always , sometimes it will show but not allow incoming connections for what ever reason, im not good with network stuff so unsure why

[hasty valley]

i just forwarded both, it was easier for me - tcp for RCON.

[distant hearth]

i can see a few errors with spacing, 1 sec

[clever trail]

And i added the above to the gus.ini

[distant hearth]

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?SessionName=""?ServerAdminPassword=? -AllowSpeedLeveling -port=7779 -servergamelog -RCONEnabled -NoBattlEye -clusterID=123456 -clusterdiroverride="C:\ASA Cluster" -mods=929110,929420,929902,928621,927090,947733,927131,914844,926956,945368,955932 -passivemods=927090

[obtuse scarab]

when I play single player it defaults to PVE, I have it turned off but every time it reverts to PVE

[distant hearth]

?listen not needed the -clustersiroverride dint have a space befor eit

[woven linden]

Ok, well, I'll mess around with that more. Something is "right" outbound but obviously I'm missing something if it doesn't show up in the real game UI. Thanks again. I do know they changed where you can find it in the client UI but pretty sure I'm looking there in "player servers" for an unofficial that is on a local computer.

[rich agate]

I can connect to my server via direct IP in the console, but can't see it in the server list... Help?!

[distant hearth]

u also dont need to be using passive mods atm, its all been moved into base game

[clever trail]

Oky thanks will quickly try

[woven linden]

Well, I also see that battle metrics is also showing that the server is responding to queries. :/ So strange.

[clever trail]

ahh oky i just left it their when the xmas stuff was there

[deep laurel]

anyone have an idea why my character gets lost if i logout on scorchedearth but not on the island , servers are in cluster

[distant hearth]

yea shudnt cause an issue but not needed

[celest halo]

Should also added ?RCONPort= if running multiple maps from same computer

[distant hearth]

try using a differnt port like 7778 with -port=7778 and forward that , i dont have an issue on 7777 but others have reported they do

[distant hearth]

rconport is for rcon connections, so if u want to use that u will need it on each server and on differnt port for each

[woven linden]

I thought 7778 was used by something else. But I'll try some variation of that as well.

[granite birch]

Are the servers still in loop?

[celest halo]

They have rcon enable in there bat so they definitely using it

[rich agate]

I can connect to my server via direct IP in the console, but can't see it in the server list... Help?!

[native wave]

there are only two ports the game (ASA) uses, the game port (default 7777) and the rcon port

[distant hearth]

ive used 7777,7778,7779,8000,8888 for testing , i know those work so i just say them, any shud work if its not conflicting with summit else

[clever trail]

thanks

[native wave]

if you're using something other than 7777, you need -port=XXXX in your command line to set the port for the server. There is no peer port, there is no query port

[distant hearth]

most people just copy an paste random bat off the internet , i was one those till i spent a few days seeing what was actually goin on

[clever trail]

I've changed the .bats and starting again.

Will test and revert again

[rain wolf]

When will they solve the problem of item-free transfers? for nitrado ASA servers

[ocean crater]

It should be. I'll try and set it up on my husbands PC and see if it runs there. If not I guess I am stuck in this queue trying to join the official one he's on. Thanks for your help

[celest halo]

When WC feels like giving it up

[slate nexus]

Is it normal that even without mods my Island still in restart loop :''( ?

[spiral citrus]

there will be a transfer dlc we will all need to buy

[hasty valley]

No. My unofficial island server has been up.

[hasty valley]

Cluster transfers are working fine, make sure all the mods are the same.

[clever trail]

Nope still not able to see one another

[hasty valley]

then your cluster keys aren't matching or both servers can't read/write the same location for cluster access.

[slate nexus]

I've removed all mods, disabled cluster... Since the update no way to launch it

[celest halo]

They don't work if you disable items

[clever trail]

My 2 mservers are both in root of C: and i made sure to have both keys the same

[hasty valley]

I assumed that wasn't disabled since we're discussing transfers, but good call. The also won't transfer is the servers aren't powered on.

[clever trail]

it should be like this?
-clusterID=123987

[marsh elm]

Anyone able to help me as to why I’d keep getting a timeout on an island server . No new mods

[echo nova]

is there any way to finde your caractere like the server nummber u were on ?

[broken tiger]

Anyone hat the problem of constantly crashing while a server transfere? i selected my other server and now If i want now to join any server, my game just crashes.
