[humble thicket]

some bases decayed despite players being there few hours ago, anyone know why this could happen? when i go do my rounds on my server, everytime i go near someone's structures they get destroyed for some reason despite the strucuture decay timer being high still

my decay timers lowest is 9days

[hidden spear]

Do you get more metal with a higher attack stat for the dunkleosteus? Or is that just with the anky?

[finite pawn]

Anyone who can check to see if my LAN cluster works for my run of the arks?

I just need someone to see if they can see and join it

[proven crypt]

i need some help here, i cannot transfer my survivor through my cluster

but my friend can, and i even did it earlier but now when i do it i just get locked in the sessions on cluster menu

[hexed thorn]

Anyone know about a ini files fix for the character creation bug on private servers? Hair on females clipping wierd and heigh slider not working etc.

[native stag]

hello guyz i just managed to move our server on new pc, but for an unknown reason i can't see the server in the list, anyone able to help me out ? I am scratching my head for 6 hours now

[lusty mountain]

I have the same problem and from what I've read the list is just bugged af

I cant see it in the list myself but people have been joining the server on and off so it clearly is showing for others

[native stag]

in my case no one can see it sadly

[north valve]

Could someone help me add Svartalfheim to server cluster? I have island and scorched earth set up but I’m not sure how to add a modded map ?

[north valve]

Also do the mods have to be the exact same for each map on the cluster?

[low dew]

@native stag few things to make sure your port forwarded you using your public ip for your server bats and your filters ingame are set correctly

@north valve yes otherwise you lose engrams

or creatures from creature mods

[sleek nacelle]

Yes and no we have svartalheim in my cluster. Folks know that if it doesn’t exist in vanilla but exists on svart don’t attempt to xfer it.

[sleek nacelle]

It’s the same as adding SE or another map. How do you host?

[low dew]

you could in theory add the svartalheim mod as a -passivemod to the other servers in the cluster that would allow the content to load like engrams and dinos and armor without having the map conflict

[near gazelle]

Anyone know how to enable the use of cosmetics on an unofficail server? I cant seem to figure it out, and there doesnt seem to be anything online that I can find other then showcasing cosmetics.

[low dew]

you craft the cosmetics if your refering to SE

then they will be in your cosmetics tab

[near gazelle]

No Im on the island, and im reffering to the custom cosmetics like the glass from wild card. I have the ones from SE and they work fine.

[native stag]

well here is whats happening, i opened all port like this so basicaly 27020 RCON tcp works, 7777-7778 27015 udp won't open and i really don't know why as it is the same process for all port...

[sleek nacelle]

Enabled by default

[low dew]

@native stag can you find your server on battlemetrics

[native stag]

hmm not sure where to look for this

[low dew]

is it running right now

whats the name of it

[native stag]

yes it s running, french connection test

[near gazelle]

Thats what I thought after you downloaded them but I right click on the house in cosmetics and nothing to select. I even tried using it on and officail server but still nothing.

[native stag]

api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr= i got response succes true but no info

[low dew]

@native stag nothing on battlemetrics with that name

are you using your pub ip or private ip

[native stag]

yes because for an unknow reason UDP won't open

private IP on dedicated server not the same as my pc

[low dew]

if its on a home network try your public ip

[native stag]

i ll try again

[low dew]

also are you trying to open that udp port with the server running it might not open if its occupied

[native stag]

i already did all about this even restart the server

still not working

[low dew]

hmm

[native stag]

i sended 3 pics to you as you can see all seems right but still not opening the port in udp

[low dew]

i dont know much about home networks

[native stag]

i also tried to stop the firewall but nothing, server is hosted by ovh

[low dew]

if your hosting at a data center then you will need ot use your private ip

[native stag]

never had issue on this and now 8 hours of scratching head

[low dew]

i dont think they have strict nats either

[native stag]

thats what i do basicaly

[low dew]

could be a bat issue

[native stag]

i am using ASAM

[low dew]

ohh

you useing a manager

[native stag]

yes

[low dew]

that was my next thing to recommend lol

[native stag]

hehe

[low dew]

you could try a full reinstall of the server if its just a fresh server with only ark maybe put a ticket in with ovh about the port

i use gtx for my dedi box

[native stag]

it s just a test server before i close nitrado yes

[low dew]

only thing i had to do was add an exception to the server exe

[native stag]

yes usualy nothing more to do

[low dew]

didnt have to manually open ports but if you shut down your fire wall then it might be a issue with the server

[native stag]

yes trying to contact support and see what s going on

[celest halo]

will never show a ASA server

[spare raft]

Good morning. For 2 days I have had a bug on my Cluster server... in fact on the 2 maps (SE and Island) there are duplicate dinos, structures and bodies of players in Lat 50; Lon 50 ... Do you have any clue on the origin of the bug?

[celest halo]

50,50 bug been around for like 8 years with WC

[spare raft]

Yes i know .. but i don't have this bug since ASA launch ...

[last drum]

I had this bug on ASA and it teleported one of my tames there randomly and when I found him he was stuck in a ball of dinos and structures floating in the air and was murdered instantly when he came into render

[spare raft]

Yep same ... but it's duplicated dino ... The original is in cryo ... >_<

same ID ...

[fathom bison]

I want to play with my friend but when i try to join it says timeout error

[carmine pulsar]

how do i make heatwaves and other weather events happen less on my se non dedi server?

[inner thicket]

So I'm trying to change the crafting requirements for element, for some reason the code I'm using is not working. Is anyone able to help with this?

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

[distant hearth]

tou can this in game user setting ini under header [serversettings] if you dont already have it , helps a lil with 50/50

[brave lynx]

Servers still laggy?

[pseudo latch]

Yep

[icy stone]

Anyone else still having transfer issues after latest update? My players keep losing all their stuff

[rose frigate]

what is the setting that allows people to build near supply drops, but the drop will simply land on top of their structure? ASA

[olive talon]

Gameusersettings.ini under [ServerSettings]
PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=True
AllowCrateSpawnsOnTopOfStructures=True

[rose frigate]

ty

[ashen stratus]

Yes and they wont tell us when its fixed

[hollow robin]

@proven prawn that last patch didint help m8 peoples servers are still lagging really bad and people are not getting any word from nitrado on anything about it somthing needs to be done

[distant hearth]

they dont care, they have your money, do your selves a favour an learn how to self host, bettter perfomance an less cost in long run

[brave lynx]

Are they ever going to fix character height and character hair issues with mods?

[hot kettle]

Hello guys, trying to play with a friend on non-dedicated. He plays via game pass, i do via steam. We can't see each others games in the non-dedicated list. Any idea why?

[rapid jasper]

Hey, i have some players saying that they can't fire cannons on platforms. Is there any kind of setting i missed that i need to change? Or is it an issue with ark?

[inner thicket]

The og cannon or a mod one?

[rapid jasper]

Og

[distant hearth]

non dedicated is not crossplay

[hot kettle]

So Gamepass / Steam would be considered crossplay?

[distant hearth]

i think that just a bug, leaving render an coming back or relog usually fixes it

[distant hearth]

yea lol , gamepass is just an xbox port

it will work on a dedicated server, if one you has good enough pc, internet an the effort to put into learning how

[bleak ivy]

as long as its not official PvP (up to unofficials) as it has no anti-cheat yet.

[tiny ermine]

we have not been able to transfer without losing our characters

and that is from the day SE dropped

[rigid dagger]

what is the setting that allows me to turn on pve mode

[jaunty vortex]

I don’t know, I’d have to google it

[olive forge]

is there a setting to speed up nights and slow down days?

[distant hearth]

serverPVE=True

[distant hearth]

yea, day an night speedscale ,
i used theese to make the game have longer day an shorter night in game user setting under [serversetings]DayTimeSpeedScale=0.74 NightTimeSpeedScale=4.57

[olive forge]

Perfect, thank you!

[cinder osprey]

Ive made a dedi server on my other pc and im trying to connect, but when i do i get a black screem. Any idea why?

[slow hound]

So my server is showing active, it's been triple checked, nothing is popping up

Doesn't show on the list

[inner adder]

Did you open your router ports?

[slow hound]

It's purely the server the other 2 servers show up

[twilit bone]

ok so on my unofficial server scorched map it wont allow players to build near the obs what setting can i change to allow this

please help

[strange inlet]

Not unofficial but, I’m tryna make a fun chill single player to beat the game on asa with not too much grind but also not completely easy, if you got settings pls dm, thanks

[rose frigate]

is there a setting for the generator count restriction? ASA

[near orbit]

Hey i have a one maybe stupid question my friend has game from epic i from steam how to invite him to play because when i host non dedicated he can't see my session
.Any ideas🤔

[rancid quarry]

my game crashed when picking up an explorer note, is this anything normal.. ASA btw

[vocal trout]

Hey friend are you on pve?
Pve blocks me from building certain places like at the Obs

So I switched to pvp

Also there's a setting that doesn't let you build by resource rich areas

And by Drop areas

[flat quartz]

[keen knot]

Hey I just got my own servers, set them all up and enables transfers, when testing to see if it works it just doesnt download the survivor to the next map. any advice on how to fix?

[lone dust]

can we not have dinos on top of quetz platforms ne more and if so how to code it to allow it

[near gazelle]

Can you not use the "Clean Glass Wall Skin" on unoffical pvp at all?

[wise kindle]

Its blocked on all pvp modes, seems hardcoded that way.

[void ledge]

Does anyone know what may have happened with my server? We updated them but now our Island map is only showing if we uncheck "show player servers" and we can't join it. It just times out. Any idea for a fix? We have SE and Island in our cluster

[trim yew]

try the update/verify the server... or reboot the server.

[void ledge]

We brought it down and made sure all the mods were the same as SE, and they worked and that map loaded fine. Did a reboot and still doing the same thing. Never had this issue before with a server. We will try verifying, hopefully that works. Thanks for the help

[dreamy pier]

I'm running my ASA dedi through steamCMD, is there a command I can type in there to see if/how many players are currently connected?

[void ledge]

And now we are stuck in a reset loop and both servers wont show at all. Did the patch break stuff? Anyone else having these issues at all?

[daring prairie]

How do I increase the claim timer of Dino’s ? It’s 7 days now but want to increase it to 14 days

[elder fox]

I have tried EVERYTHING to get alliances to work, has anyone figured out what’s up?

Orp off, pvp server, alliances enabled. Nothing, can’t even form one.

[daring prairie]

Yeah also still looking for it

I think they disabled it

[elder fox]

Drives me crazy

[daring prairie]

Yeah…

[real peak]

im trying to do a dino wipe and i cant get into admin mode. I set a password, tried using it and nothing, took it away, still no luck. Whatever i do, it just doesnt work. I even tried adding -ForceRespawnDinos to the start.bat file but thats not working either

[stark thorn]

Anyone using velo mod on se, or no if they are included anyway? I have tried a mod and cant find them. They are pictured on the release, but cant see them.

[stark thorn]

So are you able to enter gcm mode?

I always enablecheats password then cheat gcm.
If You got the gcm icon it has worked. Then enter cheat destroywilddinos

dc: arkstar if you want a server to play

[real peak]

i am not able to enter gcm mode

[desert monolith]

Stuck in a reboot loop again on Scorched. Anyone else? Same settings and mods as our Island server but is fine.

[marble condor]

Was in a restart loop 2 days ago on scorched too and just as you, same mods and settings as Island. I replaced my current save file with the next most recent backup and my server started to run normally again. Except for the extensive lag everyone is experiencing atm that is.

Was a 12 h rollback but at least it worked.

[jaunty vortex]

In console
enablecheats <password>
admincheat destroywilddinos

If your admincheat has worked you’ll get a crown symbol by your name in chat

[stark thorn]

i uninstalled all mods apart from cryos, structues and ammo box, when closed down, left it down 10 minutes +, restarted. repeated this until the crashes stop. i left the dino mods off since and have been ok

[median rock]

i’m about to transfer my sp character from island to scorched and i want to back up my island world and character. are the two files i need to copy Localplayer.arkprofile and TheIsland.ark for this to work? or do i need the copy the whole SavedArkLocal folder?

[jaunty vortex]

TheIsland.ark is your island save game

[median rock]

ok so i copied that for the world but what about backing up my character?

[steep pawn]

im trying to make ASA drops for the server im on scorched earth one work but island doesn't any idea why

[marble condor]

Correct, localplayer.arkprofile is your character file.

[tropic edge]

Do your nests sometimes spawn very close together, so that sometimes 3-5 nests "hang together"?

[native wave]

Not really with those settings.

Haven't seen 2 or more in close proximity (within 10m) since I started using those settings

[tropic edge]

Great, then I'll give it a try too. Thanks for sharing 👍

[native wave]

The original ini setting I used from here had that problem. 2-3 nests together with like 3-5 gigantoraptors in close proximity

Helps having your own server to iterate on with the settings. I think I brought mine up and down probably 10-15 times while I played with the settings

[tropic edge]

Yea, definitely

[torpid escarp]

Hi i rented a server but at the start dinos are already lvl 130 can someone help me fix that

[tropic edge]

Yea, I've been testing around all day and somehow it was never what I wanted... if I want to reduce the total number of spawns, I just have to reduce EntryWeight, right?

[peak sapphire]

What do you want your max wild dino level to be?

[torpid escarp]

Not really looking for a max level i was thinking it would go up as my level go up. Im new to this

[peak sapphire]

Max wild dinos are fixed to whatever you set it to. If on default settings, wild dinos can range anywhere between level 5-150 with the latter spawning less commonly than the lower levels.

[torpid escarp]

Okay so but if i set it to like 100 they will range from 1 to 100 ?

[native wave]

Entryweight essentially determines the chance of spawning in that spawn group. lower = less likely to spawn.

[tropic edge]

Okay. If I want to have less, do I have to reduce "MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow" or is it enough to reduce "EntryWeight"?

[native wave]

just entryweight

MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow is the maximum % of the total dino population. It also affects it, but is more of a limit.

[tropic edge]

Okay, good to know 👍

[peak sapphire]

To keep it simple for now as you’re new to this, in general settings you’ll want to go down to the the gameplay section and untick enable max difficulty, then over to official override difficulty and change that to either 3.0 or 4.0. At 3.0 the max wild dinos will be level 90, and at 4.0 they will be level 120. Each difficulty number multiplies the wild dinos by 30 levels.

[torpid escarp]

Okay thank you

[peak sapphire]

Make sure the server has stopped for at least 5 mins as a rule of thumb before making any changes. Once you’ve made that change, scroll down in the gameplay section to wipe all wild creatures. Then on server restart the settings will take effect and you’ll ensure no lingering dinos above your new level cap will be in the world.

[torpid escarp]

Okay i will try to find that on my nitrado server

[torpid escarp]

All i have undet gameplay is wipe all creeature

[wise ridge]

Anyone have a fix for the lack of wyvern spawning in the scar in SE, we get 5 to 7 max respawn

[humble shoal]

can anyone tell me how can i play with a friend that plays on epic games cuz we tried to do what was in pinned but it just didnt work

[real peak]

just got home to try and this did not work at all. I have set a password in the GameUserSettings.ini but nothing is working and its so frustrating🥲

It makes no sense why i cant get into admin mode in my own hosted server

OMW it works now! In the start.bat file, i just moved the "ServerAdminPassword=" to the end of the string and that has finally worked!

[lean beacon]

hi im having issues installing modded maps, im having ''attach debugger now'' pop up any suggestions?

[quaint elk]

anyone know the lines to put in to allow transfers if artifacts and tribute items like venom, claws, etc,

[autumn elbow]

alrighty peoples i have a big problemo. I host a server on an xbox one s for ark survival evolved, it is dedicated and I play on my pc using the same wifi as the xbox through the microsoft app. yesterday i was unable to join the server as it would only load PrimalGameData_BP and then just take me to a join failed message, it is still not fixed today. I had a similar issue early on with the NAT types but I have checked all of that, what could it be?
I have reset both console and pc, unplugged my router and waited to plug it back in, made sure the nat type is open checked for updates on both systems, and nothing. My friends who also play on the microsoft store version can join just fine
So its an issue limited to my stuff

[autumn elbow]

wild dino resets

[thin wagon]

Anyone able to make custom cosmetics work on Nitrado servers?

[bleak ivy]

you need to use the CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL" in gameusersettings. adding that as is will allow all cosmetics.

otherwise you'll just follow the officials list

[sharp charm]

anyone got any ideas why all of a sudden wyverns aren't dropping talons or bags and lootdrops are dissapearing before they land?

[opal geyser]

Disable downloading player information
Disables downloading player information of remote servers. Does this option for a cluster need to be enabled or disabled?

Tried posting a screenshot but I cant...

When I do transfer it gets stuck when I hit spawn. Just says downloading.

[marsh elm]

Anyone a code that works to spawn a superheat ?

[trim yew]

i havent seen a way to start, only to stop

[trim yew]

possibly have the cluster setup wrong, both maps need to access the exact same location for cluster

[marsh elm]

Cheat ce superheat 1

Anyone having problems with wild phoenix spawning on map

[grim saffron]

On my server the rates are really low and when I try to change them it only changes it by a bit is there any way that I could get the default setting for each difficulty of single player?

[quaint elk]

Hey i'm working on setting up my server and want to do crosschat and a store and all that stuff but have never setup that kind of stuff before. Anyone interested in giving me a hand or mind me throwing questions at.

[orchid knot]

hi i am paying for 3 servers. and i am looking for staff who know how to add a shop to the server

add me and send me a dm off you are willing to talk in vc

[haughty badger]

When I do a destroywilddinos on my scorched server it keeps crashing. It's there a work around for this?

[native wave]

do you have extra ram or processing power the server can use...or are you pushing the limits on what your server can do? DestroyWildDinos definitely puts a strain on the server since it has to respawn all the dinos.

[haughty badger]

normally the 3 servers combined run at a total of aobut 22 gb, and I have 128 installed

[late estuary]

Does anyone know if a self hosted server could also host curse forge mods? I have a buddy who can set everything up, but we have no clue if we'd be able to use mods also

[haughty badger]

Yea you can. You call the mod id's in the command line

[stiff onyx]

anyone know a fix to have an ark evolved server go into the browser or show up online? i have all ports open and firewall is set up but no cigar

[haughty badger]

Turns out is wasn't the ram getting overwhelmed, but instead the ini edit I had just made to a spawn container

[native wave]

curseforge is the only way to run mods, of course you can. Just use the project ID from the mod page for the mod id

[stiff onyx]

anyone know a fix to have an ark evolved server go into the browser or show up online? i have all ports open and firewall is set up but no cigar

[native wave]

are you actually forwarding those ports to your server from your internet router

[stiff onyx]

both

it says the appid is invaild

[native wave]

app id for ASE is 376030 for dedicated server (linux, not sure if different for windows)

[stiff onyx]

when i start it it says app id 346110

[native wave]

376030 is the app id for both linux and windows for the dedicated server

[stiff onyx]

how would i have this corrected

the app id it uses is for the game itself

[native wave]

you are running a dedicated server correct?

[stiff onyx]

Yea

[native wave]

the client is a different app id

[stiff onyx]

ill send u a photo

[native wave]

no, you don't need to
346110 is the app id for the client
376030 is the app id for the dedicated server

[stiff onyx]

wont let me but it starts by saying setting breakpad minidump AppId=346110

im hosting it from a secondary computer

[native wave]

correct your startup script to use the correct app id for the dedicated server

[stiff onyx]

what would i do

[native wave]

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

[stiff onyx]

i am using asm for this but have another set up

im still failing to see how to vhange the app id

[native wave]

asm handles the server setup for you. you just have to point the proper ports from your firewall

it should tell you if your server is visible outside your network

[stiff onyx]

yea asm is the one using 346110

it says available but people still cant join it as it wont show up in ark and using steam game servers it ays the app id is invaild

[shrewd jasper]

Server 5543 official scorched earth is down About an hour

[native wave]

And this is for unofficial. you're posting in the wrong channel

[haughty badger]

That said i guess it brings me to my new question. Is there a way to increase the number of phoenix spawns on scorched? I tried adding them to the dunes container but that was causing the server to crash

[stiff onyx]

yea it says running and available

so idk

any ideas

[native wave]

should have led with you are using ASM. I haven't used ASM in a long while...even for ASE. I would go to their discord to get assistance

[stiff onyx]

dm me it elite

[native wave]

it lists the discord at the bottom of the steam community page for ASM

[stiff onyx]

yea i looked for it and it just says ni sessions foud

can one of u see if it shows up real quick in the steam game server

[native wave]

helping in DM

[haughty badger]

hooray my mute lifted.

Anyone know any way to increase the number of phoenix spawning on scorched earth?

[peak sapphire]

Increase their spawn weight and/or add them to another spawn entry. You’ll need a lot of testing to get the spawn weight just right though.

[haughty badger]

i tried adding them to the dunes spawn container and that caused my sever to crash

may have done it wrong tho

[peak sapphire]

You may have did the config right but messed up on the spawn weight by setting it too high

[haughty badger]

i had the weight at 0.01

or maybe i had it at .1

it was .1

can i paste a block of code in here or will that get me muted?

[peak sapphire]

Try adding it to a different spawn entry, preferably one that covers a smaller area. Maybe try and replicate the Oasisaur spawn entry as that’s in the dunes

[haughty badger]

it looks like others have so Im guessing id be safe. This is what i tried:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesDunes_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Phoenixboosts",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("/Game/ScorchedEarth/Dinos/Phoenix/Phoenix_Character_BP.Phoenix_Character_BP"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="/Game/ScorchedEarth/Dinos/Phoenix/Phoenix_Character_BP.Phoenix_Character_BP",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))

i tried to keep it low so it wouldnt add too many, but that was causing it to crash.
I used basically the same to add wyverns to the trench as my wyvern spawns were painfully low without editing and that works fine, but it really didnt like the phoenix one i tired

[peak sapphire]

I’m not sure if this will help but also try adding _C after Character_BP

[haughty badger]

oh crap. good catch. just swapped that and was able to dino wipe without crashing. I think that fixed it

you saved the day. ty ty ty

[humble thicket]

every time myy server restarts the weight that we have set to 2k base gets resetted to vanilla which is 100 any idea how to avoid this?

[native wave]

set gameusersettings.ini and game.ini to read only, assuming you have access to the inis

[lunar cloud]

also , the server needs to be fully shut down before making ini changes. If using Nitardo, need to wait longer to ensure its fully shut down

[haughty badger]

any idea where I can find the details on the Oasisaur spawn entry to then try and use that for the phoenix?

[main trail]

Any news on the lag issues ?

[hollow robin]

ok is there a way to shut off the chat censoring i have it turned off in my beacon but it still continues to censor everything my players cant evin say lol all we get is a bunch of *** its really earitating and we should be able to turn it off if we wish to on our personal servers we pay for so if there is a way can sombody plz let me know i know we could do it on ase but i cant find out how to do it on asa

[sleek nacelle]

bFilterChat has seemed to work for me.

[sharp vessel]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup a cluster for my servers but I have a problem with it, here's my example :
I'm transferring my character from The Island to Svart, I disconnect, there's no problem.
But if I'm transferring my character from Svart to The Island, my character became "Player" and if I disconnect, my character is lost.
Any idea about that ?

[native stag]

Hello guyz, so all my config are right but i still cant see the server in the list does anybody have any clue ?

[sharp vessel]

Okey, I find out why, it's a spawn problem, If you'r spawning in the nature (random location), you will have no problem, but if you will spawn in a bed, your character will become "Player" and if you disconnect with this problem, say goodbye to your character.
There's 3 solutions to avoid this problem :

• Not spawning in bed (if it's impossible, spawn on it, die and respawn)
• Spawn in a random location
• Not using clusters until this bug is fixed.

[devout junco]

hi, i need bit of help. i downloaded ark and the fjordur map as well ragnakrok. from epic games. i want to play with my friends in this 2 maps but the game when i play it only lets me play on the original map the island. when i click the map fjordur to play it sends me to the fjordur addon. what do i do? the game already 130 gb for me.

[native stag]

anyone able to tell me why i am always getting timeout connection when trying to connect to my server

[wise kindle]

For Xbox we are stuck with this till WC removes their filter. Its a combo of WCs filter and Microsofts filter creating a nightmare. Settings do not fix it, we have to wait for WC to remove their filter cuz its the filter clash thats creating the issue.

[native stag]

any server owner who can help me out on this ?

the setup is brand new, no mods, nothing just a vanilla server, after many try and restart i keep getting timeout connection

[wise kindle]

Sign up for Battlemetrics and verify your map is actually online.

[native stag]

it is

[wise kindle]

How long has it been up?

[native stag]

on battle metrics ?

[native stag]

or the server itself ?

[wise kindle]

🤦🏽‍♀️

Are you using Nitrado or selfhost?

[native stag]

Ah ok well Im Nitrado. Maybe a selfhoster can help you. Be sure to check the info pinned in the channel as well.

i did all guide, google and all the usual way but nothing is pointing at this... i am desesperate lol

[quiet trellis]

send me your launch parameters

[native stag]

running on ASAM

[quiet trellis]

Did you port forward?

[native stag]

yeah the server is forwarded and showing in server list

[quiet trellis]

showing in the list doesn't mean the port is open

[native stag]

yes but i did try them and it s open

even tried back on evolved without issue

[quiet trellis]

Show me your set up on ASAM on dm

[native stag]

maybe i ll do a start bat just to try

[sharp charm]

anyone know why our server just randomly stopped showing loot drops/wyvern drops/deathworm drops and boss drops? all the desert ones dont show, the orbital ones come down for a few seconds and then vanish, deathworms and wyverns don't drop talons or bags atm :/

[slate nexus]

Tf is this, server went down then impossible to join it once started even with backup

[icy stone]

When this last patch came out and they put out an Asa update. If players didn’t update and transferred to another map, would that cause inventory loss? I’m trying to figure out if transferring to SE was an isolated problem because of that or transferring is still messed up right now?

[vital linden]

Strange bug. I have The Island, Svartalfheim Premium, and Scorched Earth clustered. No issues transferring between maps. All items come with you, whether you spawn in a bed or random location. You can carry items in inventory (including Pelayori cryopods, and TG Transfer Element) and/or upload item stacks into inventory, etc. Are you sure your cluster is setup correctly?

[sharp vessel]

Hello !
Did you clustered your servers from Nitrado or selfhosting ?

[vital linden]

Physical dedicated server at home. Are you on Nitrado?

[sharp vessel]

No'p, I have a machine that I bought with 3 servers, no host from Nitrado, do you have a tutorial or something that it can help me ?

That's weird because I follow all steps from tutorials and many persons are complaining about that, that's weird

[vital linden]

No, but you clearly have game servers running. You're just having problems with transferring. I use WindowsGSM, but regardless of how you manage them you just need (1) your Commandline to include "-clusterid=Whatever1234567890" without quotes on all game servers in the same cluster. And if you use an alternate directory, you can also use "-ClusterDirOverride=D:\WhateverPath" for server files. (2) Make sure your GameUserSettings.ini with "PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadDinos=False"

Official ARK Wiki has good info in server config section.

If you did 1 and 2 already, then I don't know why there is an issue, unfortunately.

And just throwing this out there, if the problem is spawning in a bed, I assume you already tested with a vanilla ARK bed and it has the issue (in case a mod bed was the problem, which seems unlikely, but who knows).

[sharp vessel]

I'm using PowershellGSM on my side, I already do this, the cluster is working except this bug of lost characters cause of beds, idk why

[vital linden]

Bizarre. Hopefully, someone else will see this and have something to offer. 😦

[last drum]

Anybody know why I can't get any of the wildcard mods to work? Gigantoraptor and dear Jane are both installed but the notes or dinos never spawn

I've tried reinstalling but still nothing and I only am using some simple mods other than that

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, maybe it's some cases, I don't know, btw, during the time that Wildcard will fix this, I haven't allowed download/upload of survivors, the rest is working without that

If I put a premium mod on my server does everyone have to also pay for it

[native wave]

yes

[untold mason]

does anyone have an example of the settings I need in the ini file to allow my Scorched Earth vs Island maps to transfer pretty much anything I have other than trophies on my cluster?

opps - wait - i cut past aweful fast from the wrong channel. i think i see the answer to my ask just a few lines above

[distant hearth]

GameUserSettings.ini under header [serversettings]

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

change them if there already there, or add them if not

[rose frigate]

is there a way to turn off the "tame was recently injured" cooldown for the cryopods?

[untold mason]

tyvm!!! i am having a hard day trying to remeber stuff - got a migraine I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy atm and my focus is trash /facepalm - this helps a LOT

[distant hearth]

none that i know of, unless just use a cryo mod

[untold mason]

wierd - i put in those settings you gave me. I cant transfer bee hive? odd thing to refuse as it isn't a trophy

but if i drop the hive i can transfer

[wooden tartan]

on official servers is this true or false? EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=False or True?

[quaint elk]

in a cluster is there a way to allow transfer of items like titanboa venom, argy claws, element (without converting), and artifacts?

[humble thicket]

yo i need help making a non deticated server

[peak sapphire]

As far as I’m aware you need a mod for that. I’ve never seen an ini to allow those type of transfers.

[tepid stratus]

So why do I still have a respawn timer and cryo sickness after disableing them on my nitrado settings? Am I missing something

Also what are some good not broken breeding rates ya'll use?

[onyx saddle]

does setglobalpause work

i can make myself fly and godmode but cheat setglobalpause true doesnt do anything

[inner adder]

does anyone know if having the Gigantoraptor in my mods list will make it spawn on scorched as well? I don't want it to.

[native wave]

you have to add spawn points to get it to spawn, it does not spawn naturally on Scorched Earth

[inner adder]

thank you

[upper pendant]

Does anyone know to stop ASA from resetting all the settings I changed everytime Ileave the world, it is very annoying

[native wave]

single player?

[upper pendant]

yes

[native wave]

could modify the ini files under ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows and set them to read only after you do it.

[upper pendant]

even if I changed the settings in the game?

[native wave]

settings you changed mid game or at the start of a new world?

[upper pendant]

start

[native wave]

if it's not saving the settings after you're done playing, then you need to preserve them some other way. modifying the Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini then setting them to read only should prevent the game from changing them back

you would not be able to change them in game if you do this

or at least, it would be for that session only

[upper pendant]

ok thanks, another question, how can I get the dinos to be in intervals of 5 all the way up to 150, I seem to be getting them in levels 1, 8, 36, 72, etc.?

[clear pebble]

Anyone else experience like this intense color blackout on your screens when you enter caves that slowly fade and as you move come back?

[native wave]

if they are different then that means you changed the difficulty and the max level is no longer 150. The level increments are set by your difficulty level. 5.0 difficulty results in max level 150 and increments of 5

[upper pendant]

but I keep geting them at dif levels, its odd

[native wave]

did you change the difficulty?

[upper pendant]

I have maximum difficulty on

it is set at hard which is 1

[wise kindle]

Known bug. Run r.VolumetricCloud 0 | r.volumetricfog 0

[upper pendant]

nevermind, it has apparently fixed itself, thanks

[native wave]

from the wiki "If the "Maximum Difficulty" checkbox is enabled (MaxDifficulty=True in ShooterGameMode_Options within Game.ini), Difficulty is set to 5.0 and all other related settings are ignored. However, The Island is the only widely proven special map that would completely ignore the "Maximum Difficulty" checkbox and therefore if it needs extra ini settings to change the dino levels."

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Difficulty

[upper pendant]

I just tested if the stats would stay even with the read only solution and they still revert, whyyyyy?

[native wave]

did you use the existing world or start a new one? @upper pendant

[clear pebble]

Ok thank you, I'll try that

I don't like using these codes because I'm not affected by them anywhere else

[native wave]

setting them to 1 instead of 0 when out of the cave will fix that

[clear pebble]

I understand that... thanks

[pseudo saddle]

anyone able to give a hand with a Windows Server 2019 dedicated that I can't even connect to on the LAN, I have port forwarded all ports on the server firewall and also the router but still can't see the server, I have ran enshrouded, Ark evolved with no issues but can't get the ascended one to allow connection

I can ping from server to client both ways with no issues also

[upper pendant]

I made a new one everytime ive change the settings

or at least im deleting the data

[native wave]

create the world, set your settings....start your game, then while in game, go into the config folder and confirm it has your settings in the ini....and set the Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini to read only

then don't start a new game and use the existing game next time

[upper pendant]

let me try

[viral island]

hey, so I set up a cluster and was able to upload my character, but when downloading the character it just sits downloading and never finishes. Does anyone know whats up?

[upper pendant]

so I alreagy check inis and everything is fine, now when I leave the game they should remain right?

[native wave]

if they are set to read only and you use the existing game, yes

[upper pendant]

ok

ok it worked thank you very much

[native wave]

no problem

[trim yew]

DM you with a tutorial about cluster setup

[viral island]

Ya, I have it all set up. I have it set to allow uploads and downloads, and the servers are visible in the obelisks. I can transfer over and upload my character, but in the other server the character just downloads for forever

[trim yew]

can you DM me your launch argument for both scorched and island

[wise kindle]

Same. I hate them. But atm its the only thing that fully eliminates that bug. Its so annoying.

[clear pebble]

It's the fog one that clears it not the clouds btw

[solemn sluice]

Anybody else get connection lost issues when downloading their survivor on a cluster? I was thinking it could be something stupid like too many engrams like ASE

[next stag]

Anyone know the game.ini line(s) to add to get more spawns in the Wyvern trench?

[sharp vessel]

Hello guys !
I tried to go more deeper on my cluster problem that I spoke about yesterday.
When I transfer my character from The Island to Svart, the characters files are not coming with it when I spawn. So I can spawn, use my character but if I disconnect, my character is gone, anybody has this problem and know how to solve it ?

[wise kindle]

I remember transfers between Svart and any other map have a very high tendency to delete characters. No one knows why yet. Might have something to do with it.

[sharp vessel]

Can we considere this is a game problem and not "a configuration from me problem" ? xD

[echo mesa]

Is there a way to determine which items can be transferred to another map or not? We have some items we want to make transferable between maps that currently aren’t

[native wave]

trophies and element (except for element dust, only in ASE so far) are not transferrable

as far as I know a mod is needed to make them transferrable

[subtle citrus]

Anyone have any idea what setting controls Tent damage over time, my tents aren't losing health at all and I can't figure out why

[wise kindle]

Like alot of these issues, probably.

[distant hearth]

try this on test servers , ireally dont know if it will help or not, i used it in my test ones and cudnt see any change in the files , so maybe they default to it ... who knows as wc , never give us info

are you using -usestore by chance? that fixes a lot of issues but you'd need to convert the data to use this if you aren't already using it.

lil — 
backup your data, run server w/ -converttostore and -usestore and then on your next run you can run w/ just -usestore and should be okay going forward. hope that helps! ```

this was a response from one the devs when i asked about unofficials deleteing chars on transfer

[sharp vessel]

Okey, so if I understand this correctly, I need to put on my launch parameters -converttostore and -usestore for the first launch, end the servers, remove -converttostore, let -usestore and launch ?

[distant hearth]

yes , thats how it was explained to me and seemed to check out when i looked it up on the wiki,
i honestly dont know if asa is using the new save system or not, by default . i tried a few times since to ask an havent got a response.....
end day if you have full server backups ure good anyway , so it cant hurt nothing

[distant hearth]

oh you wud need to wait 15 mins minimum for them to auto save or use cheat saveworld in admin to force a save for it to take eefect on the first launch of -converttostore

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, lucky me, I had traumas from Gen 2 some years ago with a corrupted map with no back-up, enough for me, I create back-up every 5 minutes now lmao, I will try that and let see if it works on ASA

[vestal parrot]

So I’m currently trying to configure a mod settings for a server I admin (Pelayori’s Cryo Storage) and I’m trying to implement FullyGrownBabies=False (to prevent baby Dino’s from growing up upon release from cryopod) but I’ve tried a few different ways with no success. Any and all help is very much appreciated!

[distant hearth]

not familiar with the mod but best advice i can give is try the mods discord, all the good ones have there own discord

[vestal parrot]

I tried but with no response so far so I thought someone here may know

[distant hearth]

i use super cryo storage and it freezes babies upon putting them in pod

[wise kindle]

Is it under the pods bracketed header? i believe you put that under the [Cryopods] header in the ini. If its not under the header it wont take effect.

[lone lodge]

Hi all, i have a issue, we just switch to fiber optics internet, new modem, opened ports can see the servers in the list but it times out and will not let us enter it except lan.

[sharp vessel]

To continue this problem, do you know where the save is store ? I'm trying to understand where it supposed to be at the end xD

Oh, it seems to be on the global save, nvm, I understand

[solemn sluice]

where is that located?

im trying everything to fix my issue

i get connection lost when downloading my survivor on the cluster, but if i mind wipe before i transfer, its fine.

[sharp vessel]

Generally, the global save is located in :

YourPath\ark_survival_ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks\TheIsland_WP``` if you are on The Island

It called "TheIsland_WP.ark"

[solemn sluice]

oh it saves it into that file?

[sharp vessel]

If you follow what @distant hearth said before yes, if not, each character has it's own file

[solemn sluice]

i didnt see that post lol

[distant hearth]

that sounds like an issue with an engram from a mod tbh

[solemn sluice]

oh really?

i thought it was just becuase too many engrams

like how ASE had issues like that

[sharp vessel]

Okey, as I see, now, when I travel from a server to another, the server create a file in SavedArks call "TheID.arkproftemp", I can assume it's good, but I will try my best to broke the game and see if it works lmao

[distant hearth]

possibly but the fact mind wiping makes it ok.... seems like on emod is having an issue between the servers on transfers, just a eductated guess, i dont know if u have mods or even wht type server , cluster system , but that wud be my first thing to look at

[distant hearth]

yea best way when testing, try an break it how u were before an see what goes on

[solemn sluice]

i have 100+ mods lol and they are on both servers

[sharp vessel]

100+ mods, omg

[distant hearth]

brave man , gl

[sharp vessel]

Have fun trying to know which mod is broken lmao

[solemn sluice]

i know, i spent days figuring out RR Medieval Structure mod was causing issues with other mods lol

[sharp vessel]

Now, I shutdown my servers to see what will become the tempprof, they are deleted, let's see when servers are on if it works or if my character is gone lmao

Hmmm, my character is not gone, that's... kinda... cool, I guess ?
I'm not satisfied enough, I want the game to broke my character

[distant hearth]

well yea i mean if it was gone before an now not , then it was a good test and verifies we all need to use -usestore on new asa servers .
i suspect nitrado is using it as u dont hear of that issue from those servers so often

[sharp vessel]

The fact that I tried on The Island is not enough for me, I travel to TI from Svart, disconnect = no problem
Travel back from Svart to TI, disconnect = no problem
Shutdown the servers, reboot, reconnect to TI = no problem

Now, I'm gonna try one last thing, travel to Svart, disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, shutdown and reboot to see if it's good or not

I can't trust WC anymore xD

[distant hearth]

best way , never trust, verify for self

[sharp vessel]

"I'm a kind of scientist myself"

[valid ridge]

Hey all,
I got a dedicated server which I turn on whenever I start playing with my friend and off when we are done.
We are currently on day 15 with the server and are entering the wyvern trench on Scorched Earth (ASA) but there are almost no wyverns in the trench. I've flown around for two hours and only found 8 wyverns total. Anyone got any idea why there are almost no wyverns spawning?

[sharp vessel]

Hmmm, I rebooted Svart and... my character is not gone... Can we assume it's good ? xD

[sharp vessel]

Try to wipe wild dinos, maybe

[wise kindle]

The trench is a large scar with minimal spawns. 5-8 is about average.

[distant hearth]

never , iwudnt trust it but its a good start

[sharp vessel]

I'm gonna do my best to break it, but if not, we can be disappointed from something working for one time xD

[distant hearth]

the day i trust ark to do what i expect , likely i get heart failure hahaha

[sharp vessel]

Same...

[valid ridge]

I booted up singleplayer to check, there's way more throughout the whole trench. They seemed to spawn in groups of 5. Only the start of the trench already had 15 wyverns

[distant hearth]

yea , the annoying thing is , its not documented for asa servers, so not many know of it, i just hadnt had chance to test but was told it like a month a go

[wise kindle]

Sp spawns are different. Server spawns are around 5 typically.

[solemn sluice]

try to force close your game when you cluster transfer

like a "crash"

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, cluster for ASA is very young, like a month ago, so, there's few tutorials but there are some problems who nobody encounters or know how to solve properly lmao

[valid ridge]

even with use singleplayer settings turned off?

[wise kindle]

Yes, what you are seeing is typical for hosted maps. Honest. I see it all day long.

[valid ridge]

Well alright then, kind of annoying to find milk with basically no wyverns spawning. Managed to get the eggs just fine as nothing came after us...

[wise kindle]

Single player spawns are not representative of every game type.

[distant hearth]

you can use beacon to add more wyvern spawns, just be aware it usually takes osme testing an fiddling about to get spawn weights right

[valid ridge]

Never heard of Beacon before, I'll look in to it. Thanks!

[wise kindle]

Or just add milk to your drops.

[sharp vessel]

I'm trying my best to break the game and my character, god, now it's impossible, I t'm trying all the possibilities to make it possible, but, with -usestore, it's impossible damn

[distant hearth]

this is awesome info, thanks for testing thoroughly , tag me if it causes issues, i think i will add it to the guide im working on to make asa servers for beginners]

[sharp vessel]

Man, I think the game won, it works so perfectly now... I'm not able to break my character from any moves...
This guide will be a life savior ! You will save hairs, computers and brains with it !

[solemn sluice]

cant wait to use this after i fix my issue lol

[distant hearth]

i just made a simple txt document to help people self host as well, i despise nitrado hahaa

[sharp vessel]

Can't blame Nitrado for the exclusivity but can blame them for not communicate settings to help us

[distant hearth]

i got lucky gaining that info, just happen to ask lil about it one day and he replied , he is one the devs that does server side official work

[sharp vessel]

Lucky us, this dev is an angel xD

[wise kindle]

Id argue WC doesnt tell Nitrado how any of the settings work. Id also argue that half of their own WC staff dont know either. It appears to be an environment where information sharing isnt an internal employee attribute. Ever.

[distant hearth]

id bet nitrado are using the -usestore on there servers though, nitrados just done have the same save issues with transfering self host do...
but on the whole they seem kept in dark must admit

[inner thicket]

Anyone having issues with crafting overrides? Can't seem to get mine working

[distant hearth]

some work, some dont , its kinda pot luck and as usuall no info what does work or doesnt

[inner thicket]

Good to know, so it's an engine issue? I thought it was weird that the exact same code I used to use for a:se didn't work for for a:sa. And do any mods exist that I could use to fix it?

[distant hearth]

yea i think game side issue for ones that dont work, i dont know mods, i try use as few as possible.
just depends what u trying do, best bet id say is search curseforge websitefor a mod might do what u want

[inner thicket]

Right on thanks for the info. I'm trying to change the crafting reqs for element. Don't seem to be many mods that do it, unless I overlooked them. But I'll take a look since we don't know if a fix will come any time soon

[echo mesa]

Anyone else’s servers go down? All of ours on cluster kicked us same time not sure why

[solemn sluice]

i dont think its a singular mod causing my issue with engrams, i feel like it is literally having too many engrams when jumping clusters

i went through and batch deleted mods until i was able to download my survivor properly on the cluster and then from there went through all the mods that was deleted

so im only able to get through properly if i delete a bunch of mods, thus cutting down engrams

[solemn sluice]

[marsh elm]

Is there a way to change spawn location of the loot drops cuse I want to change deep sea drops on island to different location

[wise kindle]

Might be a mod for it, otherwise no, thats hardcoded into the map.

[sharp vessel]

Dang, that's not possible, except from a mod or if you are a Wildcard developer lmao

[wise kindle]

In case ppl ask, there is some issue in Nitrado with player connection errors atm. I'm seeing it on the NY datacenter. Seems very widespread atm.

[strange snow]

Guys, when portforwarding in my router, i have 4 spaces where i can write my ports in... first i have Source Port (start and end space) and then i have Destination Port (start and end space)
I made UDP and put 7777 in both start and 7778 in both end, also have a UDP for 27015 where i literally copy pasted it in all 4 spaces and then in TCP i got 27020 everywhere... will this be fine? or is this wrong

[strange snow]

my friend is still getting the joining failed issue... this kinda gives me depression rn

[lean iris]

i’m pretty sure you need to have 7777 in both start and end, not different numbers

same for 27015, although i don’t remember which one is tcp and udp

[lunar cloud]

Ark does not use TCP for connections, only 1 port is needed for the game server and its UDP protocol.
If you are setting an RCON port and want to remotely manage your server , that one is TCP
ASE used to have Query port which is not needed in ASA

[static adder]

Anyone else having problems with transferring players on their cluster? Nothing has changed today and it was working this morning. It stopped this afternoon. Any advice?

[mental rain]

Since the drop of SE, we’re having issues on our cluster or island and SE.

The stat multipliers all work on island. When Dino’s transfer to SE their stats drop to vanilla settings nerfing the heck out of them and us as players our stats do the same. When we return to the island, all stats return to the higher amounts.

Anyone having this issue? Is there a fix?

[native wave]

did you include the same stat modifiers in the config file on SE?

I modify weight on my servers. and it works fine on all my maps

[wise kindle]

Your settings arent duplicated (the same) on both maps. Do a line by line check and verify they are identical. Also verify you do not gave duplicate lines that have the wrong settings, that could be overwriting things.

[tender nimbus]

Just updated the server to 39.27. now all clients are getting fatal error and locking up there pc when they join....love to post the error but cant upload a pic....anyone getting the same issue?

Hi everyone, question from a panicked newb. Last night I transferred from Island to Scorched on unofficial Nitrado cluster. Haven't been able to get into my Nitrado server tonight at all (assume patch-related?). Worried about all my stuff/tames still stuck in the obelisk. Their 24hr timer is running out....since the server is down/inaccessible, does that 'freeze the clock' so to speak?

[primal shell]

Anyone know when I start a non dedicated sever it ask for a password and how to change it. Anytime I invite my friend it ask for one but I didn’t set one. For ps5?

[lone dust]

ne one know ini setting to allow transfer of trophys ie argy claws ect to other server thruu transfer or did they break that as well

also am getting a werid error i have never seen when on the island like 500 rexex justfall from the sky then dissapear sometimes it crashes your game sometimes they kill you we just do a destroy wild dino code but i wanted to know if ne one else was having that issue

[trim yew]

so far, my cluster I can travel between my maps fine... just lost my character name lol. its says "Player" now instead of "GuberX"

ive just made my own server for me and my friend (on ase) but have a problem
for me the server works fine every thing works good but when i switch accounts to my second account and try adding the server via view -> game servers -> fav it says it cant find a server on the ip
my friend tried joining with his account and my second account he can log in via his account but not via the second acount pls help

(tried contacting steam support they dint help)

(btw i have all the anti hack things off and second account can play any other server fine so nothing to do with that)

[rich oar]

Enough to tranfer ( upload items) and download on thr other map island and scorched

@distant hearth thanks I Will be look after work , need to get this working.

[celest halo]

ASA don't use steams network so it won't show in steams server list

[white latch]

ase

[celest halo]

ASE you need to forward the query port for steam to see it

[white latch]

i did all ports are forwarded

btw ive tried it on the same divice different accounts that shoulnt mather right

ive so far:
updated gpu and cpu, edited registry and turned down all the settings

still every 2-3 mins in a game i crash

[true estuary]

Anyone else's Scorched Earth ASA unofficial server stuck in a reboot loop this morning where it says updating and restarts, is up for a minute and then does the same thing again?

[supple owl]

updated bios, windows and adjusten nvidia settings aswell now

[ashen stratus]

Does anyone know how to increase turret damage when players are offline. Or whether that is even possible?

[compact forge]

What gpu you have? and what ASA version you are using xbox or steam? Because our player is using xbox app on pc and he has the same problem.
He did almost same things as you and: verifyed game files + even installed the game again but still his game is crashing

[supple owl]

yeah also xbox game pass, i just found out that apperantly they released a update this morning that broke the game for xbox users on pc, there are hundreds of reports witht he same thing

after 2 hours of troubleshooting fml

i never played this game and download it right after devs breaking it lol

guess well just have to wait

[celest halo]

Welcome to ark, where something is always in a broken state

[wet crane]

how long do you recon it'll take for them to fix it

[compact forge]

at least some information about the situation. Always something with the ARK 😄 Same was with ASE and same is with ASA 😄

[drifting lance]

On Island Map?

[supple owl]

im done with it before i even played it lmao

[supple owl]

yeah

[drifting lance]

yeah, I'm in the same boat

[celest halo]

Depends how many report it and how bad it is, and with console it's normally longer then with PC, there's normally a dely from time Microsoft gets it and it is on Xbox

[supple owl]

how longd you reckon?

[celest halo]

Not even making a guess, it's been 3 and half hours since there last server patch announced and unofficials still don't have that

[supple owl]

like days? weeks?

[true estuary]

Well, my unofficial 20 slot server for SE is stuck in a reboot loop that I can't get to stop.

[supple owl]

ngl might just get in on steam its only like 10 quid

[true estuary]

TI is doing just fine. Seems to only have affected SE>

[compact forge]

You can force stop it with Shift+K when you are on Nitrados web interface.

[true estuary]

Thanks. I have force stopped it, performed a game restore (multiple different ones). None of it helps. My server is down and my players can't play.

I was just wondering if any other unofficial server owners are seeing this issue.

[compact forge]

What your logs says? Database corrupted?

[celest halo]

My SE sever on 39.23 is running fine but I also self host and don't use nitrado

[compact forge]

My TheIsland and SE servers running fine (both Nitrados sh*itty servers)

[static adder]

good morning everyone. Quick question - my mods keep downloading everytime people in our cluster trasnfer maps (same mods on every map) Im not sure how to fix this as they shouldnt have to download them everytime... Does anyone have any advice?

[supple owl]

welp just got it on steam now haha

fixed ig

[true estuary]

No, the logs don't show anything unusual except restarts over and over.

[compact forge]

One time I had to load backup (time before server was not in restart loop) five times before I got my server back to working. Also I am using my own backups, not Nitrados. And to be clear you have been using only backups from first column?

[drifting lance]

Seems like a bad precedent to reward them for making game pass terrible.

[supple owl]

yeah but i canceled my game pass so should compensate a bit

[chilly moss]

Hello Guys. for Wild Dinos lv300 the GameUserSetting.ini code is the same?
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 or DifficultyOffset=1

[bleak ivy]

override the difficulty to 10

[chilly moss]

thanks

[true estuary]

Yes, just game restore backups right now. I don't want to have to do the server restore option if I can help it. That rolls it back an entire day and I had new players who joined yesterday so that will effectively erase them and they will have to start over. It might have to happen, but that would stink.

Also I have a ticket in to Nitrado and they restarted the server and closed the ticket. Didn't even stick around long enough to see that after they restarted it, it just stopped again. Such a poor support experience.

[compact forge]

Thats why I am doing own backups. No rollbacks (usually). Do not use autorestarts because of those server can go on restart loops. Do own backups before restarting/updating the server. At least then if/when server goes to restart loops then you have backup near.

[compact forge]

Indeed. Nitrado does not have very good customer support. Usually they can not help you. Luckily I have hosted own servers on ASE over 9years and now ASA from pc day one.

[chilly moss]

another question. if i want make wild Dinos more aggressive and make more damage is this code in Game.ini right?
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[0]=1.5
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[1]=1.5
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[2]=1.3
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[3]=1.3
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[4]=1.3
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[5]=1.3
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[6]=1.3
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[7]=1.3
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[8]=1.5
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[9]=1.3

and it only make it als wild with more resistance and damge and more, if i tame it one the stat in not OP? right?

thanks for answer best regards

[pseudo glade]

anyone having issues placing tree taps on there servers?

wont let us says no foundation below

[white latch]

coulnt find anyone online with the same problem

[drifting lance]

Do you have one of those tree platforms on the tree first?

[pseudo glade]

yes

standing on a tree platform it shows the tap being green

but says no structure below. Its a vanillia platform

and a vanillia tap. Seems mighty odd like WC broke something

[drifting lance]

Google says big red wood tree at least 11 units high.

[pseudo glade]

its on the correct tree im trying to do this. Its not a tree, platform or tap issue. I was just curious if this is happening to others and ifg they had something to fix it like a setting etc

[chilly moss]

help me

[white latch]

is there anywhere else than this !@# place to ask questions cuz in discord you ask a question someone afther that creates a post 1000 words long and you never got helped i got banned from the reddit server a long time ago and i onstely dont know why or how to appeel

[drifting lance]

Have you tried the ark forums?

[wet crane]

is there any way to change the server build on nitrado servers to 39.26?

[peak sapphire]

Is your question unofficial setup help related?

[trim yew]

I added my cluster folder override and then name the cluster the same for all servers ..

-ClusterDirOverride=\\Desktop-5gekv6t\shared\Ark\Cluster

-clusterid=GuberCluster

My cluster is remote from the server

[rich oar]

thanks but i don't undestand

[harsh bobcat]

guys i want to imprint 100% on baby in one or two cuddles.what settings do i put

@peak sapphire

i cant post picture here

of my settings

[peak sapphire]

It depends on your baby mature settings. Also what platform do you play on?

[harsh bobcat]

pc

can i send u screenshot in dms?

[peak sapphire]

You can if you would prefer but if you have the ini configs lines I can work it out for you in here also

[harsh bobcat]

sent u on dms

[north valve]

is there a command line that reduces SE heatwave duration?

[native silo]

use beacon its great for getting the perfect taming and breeding settings

[lone dust]

Is there still a restart loop going on with the island???

[weary garnet]

How do you make it so prime meat and mutton stack ?

[peak sapphire]

I spent many hours testing settings myself before I knew Beacon was a thing. It’s a great tool but it’s always good to know how things work also. I think I’ve only ever used it for editing dino loot boxes.

[peak sapphire]

Do you have a global stack for other items and/or do you want them to stack?

[weary garnet]

@peak sapphire everything else is stackable , besides the prime meat and mutton

Trying too help my friend with the stacking of those two items

[peak sapphire]

Do you want a set stack amount for them or to follow the global stack amount? For example the global is set to 10 so they also stack in 10’s or you have the global set to 10 but want them to stack in 5’s etc

[compact forge]

Unofficial or official? If unofficial then you have to fix it by yourself/server owner

[weary garnet]

Our stacks go up too 2k

[peak sapphire]

If you want those items to also stack to 2000 try these lines in the game.ini:

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=2000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=2000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=2000,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

Just replace the 2000 with whatever you want the stack to be

[sand zealot]

how i join my friends server? non decated it keeps saying failed to connet

[broken tinsel]

Is there a better explanation on how to do the txt file for adding building skins to my servers?

[icy stone]

Is it just Asa or did I miss something in my settings? I know ase on pve auto locked everything. Asa some stuff that would normally be auto locked is open for anyone to grab stuff from.

[jaunty vortex]

if it's non-dedicated you can't from Steam

[weary garnet]

Thank you

[distant hearth]

pretty sure you need the line
forceallstructurelocking=true

[icy stone]

Ahhh thank you so much!!!

[distant hearth]

im going off memory but think that right, you can check on the wiki if not

[icy stone]

And that would go in the Gus.ini and not the game.ini right?

[sand zealot]

we are both on epicgames

[jaunty vortex]

ASE?

[distant hearth]

gus from memory, hold on check quick

[sand zealot]

ase? whats that

[jaunty vortex]

Ark Survival Evolved

[sand zealot]

yes

[jaunty vortex]

oh, I don't know then. Most people here are playing ASA now

[icy stone]

Thanks so much. I didn’t realize it had to be put in. I thought it was an automatic thing until people started stealing stuff on my server 🤣

[distant hearth]

yep coreect, just checked here
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[icy stone]

You’re amazing! Thanks again!!!

[magic osprey]

can anyone help with nitrado? i have everything ready was trying to check out and everytime it just gives me an error and i cant seem to fix it

[woeful summit]

Why can’t i join any server, I keep getting stop on the join server screen, can someone help me please and thank you 🙏

[gloomy trellis]

Anyone else having PC/WINDOWS players constantly crashing after this update?

[trim yew]

i havent crashed yet... my server is not updated yet since the last one though

[topaz raft]

does anyone know how to launch an ASE server with the timecapsule beta? i know its possible (or at least was) since they made servers for it back when they launched it

[tender nimbus]

Yea...game pass version is broken since last nights update

[gloomy trellis]

Yup. Had someone switch to steam and is perfectly fine. UNREAL

[tender nimbus]

Yea im almost there to. Game pass versions of multiple games in the past bit have veen having the same issues getting patches/hotfixes out quickly.

[drifting lance]

Be strong man! Don't reward bad support with more money. It's not your fault they botched this.

[tender nimbus]

Thats the thing tho... im not sold that wildcard is dropping the ball...you can forsure blame wild card for the broken patch, but with that being said all the versions been fixed except for the game pass version. Im "assuming" that the hotfix is already and just waiting for Microsoft to approve and release it...... feel free to correct me on any of these assumptions...

[drifting lance]

The steam version supports dlss. Which the gamepass version does not. I think that’s possibly why the steam version doesn’t have the problem in the first place. So it may be a platform issue. Not just deployment speed

I noticed this in pal world too. It’s built with Xbox as the common denominator.

[wise kindle]

Gamepass = Win10 Im guessing? Cuz my gamepass ppl arent seeing this on console.

[tender nimbus]

Yea...

PC game pass....my bad

[drifting lance]

Someone another channel has said that their pc gamepass friend with an AMD gpu is unaffected while their Nvidia gpu is a no go.

[tender nimbus]

I have a buddy with intel cpu and amd gpu...anouther one has amd cpu and gpu. I have intel cpu and nvidia gpu,....were all having the same issue. All using pc game pass

I also have a buddy on xbox and he has not been affected and he hasnt stoped bragging...

[drifting lance]

Well then. I don’t know

[distant canopy]

So i got a server today for the first time and it keeps on saying im not authorized to join this exclusive server idk what to do about it

[trim yew]

self hosted or from a paid service?

[distant canopy]

Paid nitrado

[trim yew]

there is a guide on nitrado about the connection thing

[distant canopy]

If you need to u you can dm me

[trim yew]

i cant post links here

[trim yew]

[old widget]

Has there been issues with Scorched Earth ASA with losing the character and not able to download your character. The games makes you start a new player and the old character is still in the game. Then the admin commands are not letting us force join the tribe.

[solid hound]

Need an expert here 😄
I'm wanting to setup the official maps and mod maps, between 2 different physical servers in my home, in a cluster. How do I get the ASA instances to communicate and allow transfers between the 2 servers?

I've already tried mapping the cluster dir as a network drive, tested with just this.
Also tried creating a symlink with it as a junction and symbolic link, no avail.

[native wave]

I've gotten it to work across the internet between me and my friend using syncthing on ASE

over a network that is rather trivial

and by internet I literally mean the internet. I'm in Michigan he's in New York

now for ASA I'm using mount points in docker containers to share a host directory with all the server containers but only on my machine

@solid hound

[pseudo saddle]

Anyone able to give a hand with a Windows Server 2019 ASA dedicated server that can't be seen on the LAN? I have all ports forwarded on router and allowed in the firewall on the server also, but can ping both ways but can't find the server either via in game or trying to add via steam game servers.

[solid hound]

@native wave Yeah, locally on one Windows machine it's working fine, second one works fine too, but when trying to cross between, it breaks when trying to upload or download survivors. It recognizes the cluster, but can't make the transfer over the LAN for some reason.

Are the server containers you have running on a single device or multiple?

[native wave]

one device, one vm on that device, multiple containers in that docker instance. The thing with syncthing is it treats it like a normal directory, just syncs between the syncthing clients...unlike a network drive

can even do stuff like only sync one way...make one client master....but the way we did it was just a straight sync. if files showed up there it put it on the other machine

[tall bison]

if i disable automatic extention on nitrado i assume i wont be charged for the following month?

[serene kernel]

correct.

[trim yew]

I've got a cluster where both servers are on different machines and there is a LAN shared folder I used for the cluster

[solid hound]

I can't get that working in windows for some reason.

[trim yew]

mine is done using windows, so maybe i can shed some light

[solid hound]

I'll have to give that a shot if I can't get the LAN one working.

[solid hound]

Sure, sounds good!

[trim yew]

you know how to make a share folder for the LAN network?

[solid hound]

Yup, I have a shared folder and also tried mapping as a network drive and pathing to it in the cl-args

[trim yew]

okay, well mine is not as a network drive, it is just a network folder I share to the LAN. with your shared folder/drive can you see it on other machines or in the Network area in the explorer

[solid hound]

Yup, yup.

[trim yew]

okay, how do you have your cluster arguments set for both maps?

[solid hound]

One set to local folder on main machine, second is to the network path.

[trim yew]

the local one is set to the same area the network path one is?

[solid hound]

Yes. Network path points to the same location as the local.

[trim yew]

so for instance... example...

local machine: C:\ark\cluster\myclustername
lan machine: \\shared-drive\myclustername

[solid hound]

Haven't tried it exactly like that, let me give that a go real quick. Should I shutdown the main servers or nah?

[trim yew]

both mine are like this for the cluster arguments...

-ClusterDirOverride=\\Desktop-5gekv6t\shared\Ark\Cluster
-clusterid=GuberCluster

[solid hound]

Gonna test now, wish me luck 🙂

[trim yew]

🤞

[solid hound]

Almost tempted to invest in Threadripper if these couple of things don't work 😂

Is the cluster data stored on one of those 2 machines and you're using the network path, even on the local machine?

[solid hound]

You are a scholar! That did the trick! Thank you very much! 🙂

I just had to change the cluster dir to the network share on the primary (cluster host) machine as well!!!!!!!!!

[native wave]

always better if you can avoid loading extra programs

[trim yew]

Awesome glad it works

[broken tinsel]

I finally figured out how to add the txt file for cosmetic mods on my servers, below is the instructions if anyone has been wanting to know how!

Adding Cosmetic txt File to ASA Nitrado Server

1. Log in to your Nitrado account
2. Click web interface button of the server to enter Dashboard.
3. Under Tools, click File Browser.
4. Go into Arkasa/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer
5. Click Upload file, click and open the txt file you created.
6. Open the added file and put this file path into the GameUser.ini file on beacon.
7. Save in Beacon then deploy.

[autumn light]

How do i change the map of a steamcmd server?

[lunar cloud]

The map name is one of the first arguments in the launch command. See wiki
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[atomic shadow]

Anyone know a reason as to why one of my servers shows up in the arc search but not the other? They are both up and show in battlemetric and you can connect to them using the IP link etc

[autumn light]

thank you!

[woven yew]

I just set up a new SE server last night and in game text chat seems to be disabled but I can't find anything wrong in the settings. Has anyone had this happen?

[distant hearth]

check for these lines in game user setting ini , make sure false

bfliterchat=False```
only two i can think wud effect it

[native wave]

@sturdy zenith

[slate cosmos]

thanks.

[woven yew]

thank you so much. I would have never figured that out

[autumn light]

do you know how to save and exit the world

[last drum]

Do the studiowildcard cosmetic mods not work on singleplayer? None of them are showing up and it won't even let me "activate" any of the mods. It says I have them installed but they don't show up in the mod list. On PS5

[deep flower]

Could you add custom cosmetics mods to your server .ini and if so, would there be any benefit?

Some players don't really look through the mod list and would be cool to add some custom cosmetics to my server for them but idk how it works

[pseudo glade]

does anyone have a direct contact for the JVH mod Author? There latest update has broke tree taps and they do not have a discord or a place really to report issues.

[sharp vessel]

Hi everyone !
We're using K+ on our servers on ASA but we want to change because K+ hasn't what all S+ had in ASE, any suggestions ?
I checked Super Structures Ascended but I'm not sure it will be enough at the moment...

[native wave]

Super Structures is slowly adding what it had in ASE...and considering adding stuff that was in S+ that it didn't have in ASE

And by K+ do you mean Klinger Additional Structures?

[sharp vessel]

No, K+ ASA created by kplusbot
I will check functionnalities of Super Structures on my local when I have the time, to see what the mod has and what it doesn't have

[native wave]

right now super structures just has the pulling functionality and the tools, they are still working on adding more

they have a plan posted to their discord

[sharp vessel]

SS doesn't have structures like S+ had ? Like Sheep Herder, Farmer, etc.... ?

[native wave]

Not yet

This is their release schedule...obviously falling behind

Release 1 - Pull System - November
Release 2 - Tools (some won't release initially like transparency cycler, model selector, etc) - November to December
Release 3 - QoL Structures - batch 1 - December to January
Release 4 - QoL Structures - batch 2 - January to February
Release 5 - Core Building Structures - February to March```

[sharp vessel]

I was doubting about it because I have read the description of the mod and it says that there is not all the functionnalities of S+ atm, so, I don't know if a mod has it, because some items from S+ are not in K+ unfortunately :c

[native wave]

K+ is closer to what you want right now. Super Structures started when the S+ creator took a break...and tried duplicating the functionality of S+ in ASE. The same mod in ASA has a good start, but has a ways to go still

[sharp vessel]

To be honest, I will keep K+ because it's good for the moment, I really hope SS will be awesome in the near future !

[native wave]

I don't follow SS close enough to know if they have announced why the delay...I just know what shows up in my game. I like the implementation so far though

[jaunty galleon]

So when setting up a self hosted cluster is it advised to run each server from the same directory or should i make a new installation for each one? mods and settings will always be the same but i'm just not sure if this will cause any problems.

[tired basalt]

can you decrease the spawn rates of specific dinosaurs, and can u get dinos not native to a map to spawn in the wild by replacing them into another dinos spawn table

[distant hearth]

my prefernce is seperate directory/installations , the use cluserdiroverride for a shared cluster folder, both way work so its upto you

[distant hearth]

you can, its tricksy and always fun messing with spawns, i recomend ark beacon app if you want to try it

[radiant oracle]

Is anyone able to tell me if it’s possible to adjust the trike charge damage but not the regular attack in the ini?

[distant hearth]

not posible as far as i know, the two are related to the one damage muliplier

[radiant oracle]

Thank you 🙏

[long lagoon]

Having troubles where after the server starts up i can not find it in the server list and i can not find it via steam servers. I have ports forwarded through the router and I have no firewall on the server to try to connect to it. Is there any way to direct connect to the server and any ideas of why can not see it through steam or on the game server lists? ASE works just fine but I shut it down to do ASA with the same exact ports that were working with ASE

[distant hearth]

asa uses only a udp port for players connecting and not all ase start commands work with them , try something simple first like,
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="myservernamehere" -port=7777 -winlivemaxplayers=10

[long lagoon]

I can connect direct via local and public ip with port 7777 in the comman line but steam does not see it and it does not show up on the server list. I just found a post a few min ago how to direct connect. I will try your suggestion tho and see what happens

[distant hearth]

steam wont since they no longer use steam query port,asa is done via epics eos sytem

[celest halo]

I been useing QOL+ on my server and CG Structures on a local world, both have items s+ had. Both are also missing items though or have ones that are not fully working

[long lagoon]

ah so anything i need to do special since now they are using epic

[distant hearth]

nothing more than i put above, if the udp port its running is forwarded , epic services will pick it up

[long lagoon]

Good news it worked with what you told me to do

[distant hearth]

yea asa is fussy on its start commands, it shows server in ticking loop, but isnt actually fully onlin some how, some times

i like to keep start command simple as poss an do rest through ini , you will want more commands on that for clustering etc , but once u had it running once u know if anything u add messed it up

also as theere frsh server , add this to the command -usestore

[long lagoon]

what does that do

[celest halo]

Ewww I would never use that setting, or unless I had too

[distant hearth]

makes the server use the newer save format that ase used , it will help alot when u come to clustering servers an cause less data transfer issues
can look it up on the wiki if u want somewhere here
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

[distant hearth]

people having transfer issues , used it an fixed all issues , ase servers in later stages were defaulting to it,
one of the devs recommended i tried it to get past save issues after transfer an it works

i suspect nitrado servers an officials use it , they rarely have the issues unofficial self host were with player data just being deleted

[sharp vessel]

I'm thinking about it but I think there also missing items because some maps are not here too

For example, Tek Elevator came in S+ when Aberration was released

[celest halo]

I haven't had any issues with player data on transfers, and I rather have player data saved to it own files then saved in the world file

[long lagoon]

I will give it a try if i have issue hopefully i dont crossfingers

[sharp vessel]

The paramater that gave @distant hearth is working for my cluster, I saw that with him, so, I can agree with him about -usestore

[celest halo]

Much easier to restore a player when they have there own file then having to roll back the full server

[distant hearth]

when i tested it i still had the .arkprofiles and .arktribe etc seperate , i did only do it briefly though as was busy . so i shall not recomend anymore untill tested further

[celest halo]

You have to convert to store when switching an already running server to get old users using it

yea, does it still keep the .arkprofile etc seperate?

[surreal grove]

yea but the other with the same mods are starting fine,...

[distant hearth]

ah well, ignore me , like i say , not very good on crash reports sry

[sharp vessel]

From my experience from these 2 days with it, it create temporary profiles (That you can take like a back-up just in case) and delete it to store it on the main save when the server will shutdown

[surreal grove]

i suck at them too:)

[distant hearth]

in the main save file, is it still split into .ark, .arkprofile etc or is it just the one .ark ?

[sharp vessel]

It's the map save, for example TheIsland_WP.ark, yeah

[celest halo]

The engram for that is in GC Structures haven't tested it, GC don't have a dedicated storage yet though, QOL+ has a dedicated storage but is missing other things

[distant hearth]

ok so your pulling a backup from the cluster directory, good to know

[sharp vessel]

So, some mods have functionnalities that others don't have, someday, we will have a mod with all the S+ functionnalities lmao

[distant hearth]

its like the same thing , just a differnt way to skin the cat

[sharp vessel]

Yeah, and if you have a problem, the map save can take care of your character and if you need, you can keep temporary profile to backup, it will work

But, atm, there's no due to do that, the proftemp is carrying the cluster, even if you crash or disconnect

[distant hearth]

will just have time how long it keeps the profile in the cluster directory , then to work out how often to back it up

[sharp vessel]

Even if the tempprof is not created, the main save keeps getting your character

[long lagoon]

You mean delete the temp or the actual profile

[sharp vessel]

Deleting the actual profile ? What a crazy mind you have xD
No, when the server is shutting down, it deleting the tempprof to save in the main save, so you make sure your character is not lost

It's like writing something in the main save and throw in the bin the rest which is useless because it already exists

[long lagoon]

ok

Did the commands for password protection change also

[quiet tide]

"I have two different Linux servers for ARK: Ascended. I was told that internally one could travel in a cluster, meaning with character upload and download, but this doesn't work with two different external servers. They are connected in the cluster via the ID, but character upload and download doesn't work; I can only create a new one."

[atomic shadow]

Ignore my dumb a$$, I had the Maps Filter on set to scorched 🤣

[distant hearth]

they need a shared cluster directory/folder, its done using the command -clusterdiroverride=xxxx
but i have no idea how to do that with linux servers sry, hopefully its enough info for you to dig further an work it out

[quiet tide]

@distant hearth you mean idoverride ?

[celest halo]

You need to set up file sharing between the computers and share a folder to use for cluster data

[distant hearth]

no i mean a directory over ride, other can prob explain it better than me sry.
both servers must have the same cluster id an , a directory/folder where they can both access and share data

[quiet tide]

But how can i share?

[celest halo]

Network file sharing, Google it to figure out how that's is way past the scope of this channel

[tired basalt]

Is that compatible with your own ark server? (Steam/EG)

[distant hearth]

yea all the spawn entries can be changed in the game.ini files ,
beacon just helps with the coding

[tired basalt]

Do you have to set the server up first, then edit, or edit and put them into the server?

[distant hearth]

i recommend getting the server to work first ,
that way you know if any edits you made cause it crash ..
just how i prefer to do things, saves troubleshooting and headaches later

[rugged garden]

Anyone here now how to stop cheaters from download stuff on my Ark survival evoled server to download stuff from they singleplayer (transfer is off)

[distant hearth]

set a cluster id or use -notransferfromfiltering in start command

[tropic edge]

Can anyone else no longer deactivate the "EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes" function?

[rugged garden]

dosnt work

[distant hearth]

shud do but no matter, if it just the one server use
notributedownloads=true in the game user setting ini under[serversetting] header
this blocks all downloads to a map

[rugged garden]

nah its cluster and u can just download dinos from singleplayer with cheats and thats my problem

it was a old exploit and ark posted a command in they patch notes to prevent that but i cant find it anymroe

[distant hearth]

once a clueterid is set it shud block it from happening tbh , ive never been able transfer in from single player after using it

no idea why -NoTransferFromFiltering wudnt work either for you, sry thats all i know of how to stop it

[lunar cloud]

console commands cheat saveworld and cheat DoExit will do that. You can use RCON utils to run these remotely without having to be in the game if your server has RCON port exposed
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#SaveWorld

[last drum]

Do the studiowildcard cosmetic mods not work on singleplayer? None of them are showing up and it won't even let me "activate" any of the mods. It says I have them installed but they don't show up in the mod list. On PS5

[bleak ivy]

Cosmetics don't need to be activated. Restart ark, respawn, and make sure you are using the correct menu (button next to folder view)

[last drum]

Oh I have to die?

Tysm that makes sense lol

[bleak ivy]

Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. Ark is ark

[humble thicket]

Does anybody know why when am using phioma it doesn’t want to farm berries?

[eternal lake]

Anyone noticing wild creatures disappearing? (not killed, just no longer in world)

[upper pendant]

How can I fix my and my dinos feces just falling through the ground? @native wave or anyone else?

[native wave]

WC has to fix

[bleak ivy]

Get a dung beetle. Should pick it up anyway.

[upper pendant]

what is WC?

[bleak ivy]

Wildcard. The devs need to fix it.

[upper pendant]

ok thnx

[golden nest]

Cluster isn't configured properly if this is the case

If you go to the survive the ark website, it has a whole configuration guide on how to setup.

You need more than just the ID, you need to use the directory override argument on both servers and assign them to the same location. Then make sure they both have the same ID and you should be done

[celest halo]

you only need the directory override argument if your running the maps from different installs

[golden nest]

Safe to say they are if the clusterid isn't enough

[lime matrix]

So what's the deal with the server software overwriting some settings with previous values and not others or making duplicate entries in the gus.ini even when editing the file when the server is off?!

Gah, can't get anything done since it keeps reverting things

[radiant oracle]

I know you can adjust damage resistance for specific species in the ini but is it possible to change the health instead?

[distant galleon]

hi

i have ark but my dads pc sucks lol

[tulip crystal]

@everyone trying to see if someone can help me tried to look it up but no luck im trying to join unofficial ark server and it will not connect ill try for an hour and it will load in then kick me with in seconds once im in though it works just fine my buddy gets in just fine every time though my PC is ethernet and works great on every game i play only issues on this game and seems to be more than just this server if anyone can help me solve this problem id be grateful

[lime matrix]

no

[lime matrix]

a few people are having issues connecting, you can always try the direct connect route byt hitting ` at the home screen and punching in open address:port

not sure if it's related to the server platform launch parameters either. Like for instance if the server is running with a mod that isn't cross platform and you set it to run ALL instead of PC. That sort of thing

That could cause some issues possibly

[wise kindle]

Theres a bug with win10 dc’ing on log in. Only temp fix i know of is to have someone kill your character. Spawn back on the beach verses your bed. The bug may return tho, it doesn’t seem fully fixed yet.

[wanton hinge]

Sounds like a firewall issue.

[lime matrix]

No, was just them

all the rest of my players were connecting fine

So seems sporadic

[trim yew]

are these people who are trying to connect live with you or other places? just curious cuz LAN play no need to port forward/firewall but if outside your home network will require port forwarding and firewall passthrough

[wanton hinge]

I had a similar issue with one of my old hosts, OVH. They have a game firewall that had to be configured alongside my ip tables. It would prevent certain people from joining while others had no issues.

[lime matrix]

All over the globe, no land party. It's just one person from new zealand that was having issues. Everyone else was fine....so my guess it was local to them

[dire sierra]

Does anyone know if WildCard have fixed the problem with dedicated servers not working on Windows OS 2019 and earlier?

[jaunty vortex]

does it need to be used with -newsaveformat as well, do we know?

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

[distant hearth]

not that i know of for asa , this is exactly what i was told when i asked a dev about issues with self host servers randomly deleting .arkprofile from the server after transfer ,

are you using -usestore by chance? that fixes a lot of issues but you'd need to convert the data to use this if you aren't already using it.

Me-no havent heard of it 

lil -
backup your data, run server w/ -converttostore and -usestore and then on your next run you can run w/ just -usestore and should be okay going forward. hope that helps!```

i havent had a chance to test properly but someone else in here who was having the issue did , they just said they cant make it break after using this method , despite trying to make it break

[jaunty vortex]

Yes, I used your info, thank you. But also cross references against the ark wiki. I couldn't see any difference.

1. Started server with -converttostore and -usestore
2. Saved server
3. started server with -usestore
4. connected to server

Didn't see any difference in the savedarks folder

I'm not yet running a second map, however, although I do have the cluster options in my server startup

[distant hearth]

no i didnt either , but i only briefly looked at it, i just havent had time to delve deeper, work is busy asf

[jaunty vortex]

being busy is not a bad thing. I found a steam post that said that you should get a temporary profile file when connecting and it should be merged back into the main save, but as with all things, people are not really sure how it should work

From the steam post

"After that, each time you will connect to a server, your .arkprofile will be "TheID.arkproftemp", and will be store in the main save of the map (For example, your character will be in TheIsland_WP.ark". And each time your servers will be shutdown, this "TheID.arkproftemp" will be removed and store in the main save."

[distant hearth]

thats pretty much how it was described to me by the guy that tested it , once u transfer to another map

the only thing i can think wud need to do is figure out how long the temp prof stays in the cluster folder, that way cud make a periodic backup of it , then if for some reason was an issue where player lost data , cud add the tempprofile back into the cluster folder, ready for download onto a map .
Atleast thats how i imagine it cud work lol, again need to test

[jaunty vortex]

OK, I didn't check the cluster folder, so there could have been something in there

I'll need to give it another shot and see what it does

[distant hearth]

yea, until you transfer charachter to another map , i think it just stays same , then upon transfer is when it does what ever it does, im not smart enough to figure out how it combines the temp profile into the whole map save

[jaunty vortex]

feels like nothing bad is going to happen if I do switch over on that basis

[distant hearth]

its ark, test test test first haha 🙂

[dusk belfry]

So I'm switching to scorched earth from the island on my nitrado server. Should I save my island map locally or can I trust my island map to be there in a month or 2?

[jaunty vortex]

W1llz123 could also have said save, save, save

if you can, take a backup and store it locally

[distant hearth]

if you change map, you will lose the data, needs to be stored locally, then preferably backed up on summit too for extra safety lmao . depends how much you value player data, i always kept double backups

[jaunty vortex]

My server manager backups up locally every 15 minutes. Then nightly that gets backed up to my NAS

[dusk belfry]

I read that nitrado will make a separate folder for scorched but I plan on coming back to the island to finish up. I guess backup is the answer lol

[severe karma]

Hi I have a question to ask is it possible to play ark with a friend but we have ark epic when we create a non-dedicated server a connection error (connection delay). Thank you for your reply

[distant hearth]

oh actually , it might possibly do it like that now for asa, good point, i forgot it changed. still it takes 5 mins to connect via ftp an pull the save, id do it anyway

[dusk belfry]

Thanks. I don't really trust nitrado lol

[distant hearth]

i wudnt, they once deleted one of my worlds, entire server wiped and said oops , nothing we can do, ever since i kept my own backups lolz

[severe karma]

Hi I have a question to ask is it possible to play ark with a friend but we have ark epic when we create a non-dedicated server a connection error (connection delay) so I cannot join how to do it . Thank you for your reply

[compact forge]

Where people are renting dedi/root servers? 🤔 Wanting to change my two servers to dedi/root.

[jaunty vortex]

Which version of Ark? Evolved or Ascended?

[severe karma]

evolved

[jaunty vortex]

Are you on Steam?

[severe karma]

no Epic

[sharp vessel]

I can recognize my writting here xD

To be clear about these commands, after 3 days of testing it on my cluster, things I can tell you about @jaunty vortex @distant hearth, it's that :

• When you are transferring your character from a server to another, your character profile is stored in the "cluster" folder and duplicated in the "SavedArks" as "TheID.arkproftemp" and stays until the server is shutting down, after that, the server will keeps this save in the main save (Ex. TheIsland_WP.ark) and each time you disconnect, your character can't disappear because the map save is keeping your save.

For some persons, it can be rude to do that because you can "lost" your character forever but the thing I can tell you, you will not, if you have back-up freqsuently, there is no risk, I was betrayed by ASE 2 months after Gen 2 was out with a corrupted back-up, never again.

To be honest, I tried everything to broke this damn parameters, nothing broke

Even connection crash or game crashes didn't broke it

[jaunty vortex]

Thank you, DollarZeus. If I’d known you were here, I would have credited you 🙂

[severe karma]

Epic Do you have a solution?

[sharp vessel]

There's no problem, like @distant hearth, I want to help servers owners, I tried during 2 days to find a solution and he helped me to find this, so the only credit granted is for him xD

[jaunty vortex]

Are you both on Epic?

[severe karma]

yes

[severe karma]

?

[jaunty vortex]

Try being patient. None of us is paid to come here and help.

[severe karma]

OK no problem but do you think it's possible?

[jaunty vortex]

I believe so, I owned it on Steam.

From what I have read, you need to make sure you're running the game with No Battleye and unofficial servers only.

Firewall ports might also be stopping the game from connecting. Make sure it's allowed for public and private networks.

You may also need the ports to be forwarded on the router

[severe karma]

Ok thank you, but I have 2 questions how to run the game only with No Battleye, how to transfer the ports on the router?

[jaunty vortex]

Open Epic Games Launcher -> Go to Library -> Click the 3 dots next to the title "ARK: Survival Evolved" -> Select the top option "Play ARK: No BattleEye AntiCheat, Unoffical Servers Only"

Regarding the router, I have no idea. They are all different. I would google for your router make and model and port forwarding. Somebody will probably have made a guide.

[severe karma]

Ok thanx for help

[jaunty vortex]

If you're using a netgear orbi, then I can help with forwarding as it's what I use

[severe karma]

ok, for the router it's the person who hosts we agree and otherwise I didn't understand the stuff with the firewall?

[jaunty vortex]

the firewall and port forwarding will be for the host

This is just what I found by googling, I have not done it myself

[severe karma]

ok, which ports to open? does it change depending on the router? and for example I'm in France I'm at I'm at free what is it?

[jaunty vortex]

7777-7778, 27015 are UDP. 27020 is TCP

[severe karma]

thanx you

[undone loom]

I uploaded my character on The Island to an obelisk. When I opened the game later, I downloaded it again on The Island. During the Helena cinematic the game crashed and when I re-opened the game my character was lost. It wasn't in the downloadable characters and the game wanted me to create a new character.

I don't know about Ark files but if the character I played is in the files somewhere, and there is another file that stores the characters in the "Download Survivor" tab I can move the file to there and download my character on The Island.

Although I don't know about the files as I said, so if someone knows about them please help me do what I explained. Thank you.

[tired basalt]

Is there a way to make sure admin logs are in public chat? And will they still be there if you log out and back in?

[maiden harness]

so how would one go about turning on the evo event?

[celest halo]

its not a WC problem, its UE 5 not supporting windows 2019 any more

[rocky pecan]

Does anyone know how to obtain ASA ID for PS5 and XBOX players?

[rose frigate]

anyone else having issues with the gigantoraptors? taming, in particular.

[latent yacht]

lol this update sent my nitrado server in a tailspin.. endless "restart loop"

[timid wyvern]

Please help,

I'm a ps5 user, playing with nitrado, I bought the dlc today, but the dlc engrams don't show up, but I can tame an oasisaurus, and I can see the treasure locations,

the mods I have installed are

・HK cryopod and Cryofridge
・AwesomeSpyglass!
・Colossuscorpius
・CliffansBackpacks
・BigTents
・Shiba Inu Companion

Do you know what the cause is?

I'm using a translation app, sorry if it's hard to understand

[tardy pine]

I think there are engram filters in the game, try making sure the bobs tall tales filter is on

[stable berry]

Hey guys is there an egg mod to guarantee the best hatch values

[real ingot]

Hey, don't suppose anyone might have blueprint/spawn code for the Lightning Wyvern Chibi. I've got all the others however this one eludes me? It doesn't follow the same convention as the other 2 wyverns

[dire sierra]

Do you know if this something that can be changed or fixed in the future?

[celest halo]

Don't know how you going to fix unreal engine 5 not supporting an old OS

[tired basalt]

"DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10"
These are the difficulty setting on a server, and dinos spawn either under lv50 or like lv700. whats a fix?

[wise kindle]

MaxDifficulty needs to be false and do a wild dino wipe. Also you will still levels up to 700 in caves. With that setting you will see between 10-300 level dinos. Use the Custom Dino Levels mod to get the spawns to lean more on the high end if thats what you are going for.

[tired basalt]

what are the commands for max difficulty to be false and how do i do a dino wipe?

[wise kindle]

Maxdifficulty=false

Cheat destroywilddinos

[tired basalt]

so i set that to false?

[distant hearth]

game ini , maxdifficulty = false
otherwise it locks to 150 dinos

overrideofficialdiffuclty=10

this is a mutiplier, the default is 30 so u get 30 x 10 = 300 max level dinos
antime making dino changes after you log in game,
then do

cheat destroywilddinos```

thx was being lazy an didnt look it up 🙂

[wise kindle]

This ^^

[tired basalt]

ty

[distant hearth]

thanks to snowdragon for correcting my level mistake tbh , its been a while so i tend to go with educated guess, failed me this time hahahaaha

[tired basalt]

it doesnt seem to be killing the troodons chasing

[hot pivot]

Hello I am trying to make a server with ASM and I seem to have an issue with some engrams. I cannot craft bow, slingshot and arrows. They are just yellow and it says that I need to learn them first.
If anyone have any idea how to fix I would be greatful

[tired basalt]

Does it only kill dinos around me? Or just all dinos

[distant hearth]

only wild dinos, all wild ones

[woeful harbor]

what is the easiest way to run a sever so me and my friends can play without a tether

[hot pivot]

asm

or buy it from somewhere

[drifting lance]

You got a spare machine or enough performance ceiling to run a server on your rig?

[odd palm]

why cant i place turrets on trains even with OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true

[pulsar spire]

Can I set RCON server settings on the command line, similar to -port=<port number>, or do I need to do it in GUS.ini necessarily?

[distant hearth]

pretty sure its done with with ?rconenabled=true?rconport=xxxxx
where xxxxx is the port you wish to use,
might wanna check though the wiki to be certain

[frigid vine]

Hrello! Is that Dear Jane mod, and the earned skins, bonus level persistent, also if you remove the mod someday?

[delicate smelt]

can Game pass players connect to steam servers yet?

[solar glacier]

Is anyone having issue with their Nitrado servers atm? All items in my inventory are invisible but my weight keeps increasing as if it’s in there

[silver ibex]

does anyone have a problem with intenet shutting down /restarting when downloading ark mods? this is the only game that does that for me... SUPER ANNOYING!

[pseudo saddle]

Anyone able to give a hand with Windows Server 2019 ASA server issues? All ports are forwarded on server and router, but I can't add the server from Steam favorites on the LAN. I can also ping both ways, from server to client. But can't see the server from either game servers in steam or from in ASA itself

[tardy pine]

I think they always could, just not official or certain Nitrado servers (anyone that has the platform blocked)

[tardy pine]

You mean your internet router resets when you download an ark mod?

[tardy pine]

I assume the windows server 2019 instance not a rented virtual machine, but a server physically running in your house? If so, then make sure the firewall ports are open for incoming connections to the ark server executable. Also, what do you have for the start batch file? It would be helpful if you post it here without the password if you have the password in it somewhere.

[pseudo saddle]

Let me get it, and yes it's a R710 poweredge server not rented on the same LAN network

[tardy pine]

Probably not a server 2019 issue but a game config issue. Either way a copy of windows server is not required, you can run it on a normal windows 10/11 operating system. Just an FYI 😉

[celest halo]

steam favorites list will never work with ASA it dont use steam networking, and server 2019 dont work with ASA since the last update

[pseudo saddle]

I use Brads digital server manager for the start bat part

Ugh, any idea on when a fix will be released?

[celest halo]

there wont be, newer versions of UE 5 dont support it

[tardy pine]

Well dang, with that. I guess you could run the ark server in a windows 10 VM that is hosted on the windows server 2019 instance. Just have to do some forwarding to the VM for that to work @pseudo saddle

windows 10 "trial" versions dont really have a shut off date so you wouldnt need licensing. Unless you have MSDN then go for a nice pro version with RDP support

[pseudo saddle]

Ugh, I have the server static assigned and all ports set, etc. I literally just got server 2019 to run a few other game servers like palworld, enshrouded, etc

Not sure if I could upgrade to a newer version if that would help

but not sure it would work with the semi older server

[tardy pine]

Windows server OS is great for virtualization so you can still use it for Ark

the windows 10/11 media creation tool will let you download a .iso file for the windows OS that you can boot in Hyper-V on the windows server OS

plenty of detailed info on how to do that on google

[pseudo saddle]

Thanks, working on getting hyper v installed on the server now

Will just need to tweak dhcp reservations to point to the VM instead of the server itself on the router forwarding

Just will need to enable another NIC on the server for the VM and connect it to the 3850 switch, etc

little bit of work, but thanks all, never thought of running Win 10/11 VM for ASA

[tardy pine]

The extra work kind of sucks but VM's are quite powerful for certain things. Let us know if you get stuck again.

[pseudo saddle]

Will do, I should be good but if I need any help will be sure to reach out, thanks again

just sucks the engine don't support a server OS

[celest halo]

end of life for server 2019 was jan of this year, not much is going to contune supporting it

[pseudo saddle]

Got it, might need to see if the R710 can be upgraded to a newer version

[slate nexus]

Hello, I just wanted to ask why I can't eat in the game. I've died several times. Does anyone know why? ( I’m a beginner in ark ascended) that’s why I don’t know everything yet

[velvet root]

Anyone know the CustomLiveTuningUrl to use for Small Tribes rates on a dedicated server. The Wiki has a URL for ASA but doesn't say which rates that will pull.

[timid wyvern]

Thanks for the reply, I have the filter turned on and nothing shows up, but it does show up in single player

[oak yarrow]

Hey, is there a way I can set up a PvE personal map that’s password protected that can crossark with the other PvE map that is NOT password protected?

[dusky radish]

could I allow my private server to let players build turrets on the bobs tales train?

[bleak ivy]

as long as they are clustered, they can join.
they all can use different bat files so different passwords should work

[oak yarrow]

Okay, thank you so much

[bleak ivy]

when transferring does it prompt a password tho

[oak yarrow]

I don’t know, we haven’t been able to get the server to stay up

[bleak ivy]

I think it does but I didn't use a password when I was clustering.

[celest halo]

it does ask if the server has a password

[grand cedar]

Anyone know if the Winter Wonderland event can be turned on a nitrado scorched server?

[robust sky]

Anyone know why throny eggs aren’t counting for regular kibble anymore?

[velvet root]

I know it would in ASE. I accidentally had a password on one server but not the other in a cluster. It would prompt for password when trying to travel to the password protected server but not when going back.

[velvet root]

Maybe one set of ports is making it through the firewall but the other isn’t?

[pseudo saddle]

@river hull Might need to try to up the port by one more, I usually skip 2 for both query and game ports, IE 27015 and 27017, 7777 and 7779

[compact forge]

Same here. Did not get it working.

Where are people taking dedi/root servers to run ASA servers?

[distant hearth]

if in europe , ive been recommended hetzner

[compact forge]

I did look that provider but I could not decide what would be the best option for running two servers with little mods and about 20 players on each. 🤔

[distant hearth]

32gb ram and 6 core cpu i imagine wud be overkill, but better to have more than not enough, all though i believe you can get upgrades down the line anyway if u wish

[compact forge]

That kind of I have been thinking but on other channel some said that 32gb could not be enough. Should need about min 2x20 to run to ASA servers with same computer 🤔

[distant hearth]

depends on mods an player count,for 20 per server you shud find 32gb adequate , id think it will use 10-12gb per map at most, they have improved the ram useage over time
my test ones sat idle only use like 6-8gb

[compact forge]

Indeed. I have also seen max 10gb ram usage from the asa.

[distant hearth]

what ever way you look at, with 32gb ram they will run alot better than nitrado ones hehe 🙂

Thats true 😄

No 32gm ram computers left but with 64gb ram still cheaper than renting 2xnitrados bad servers 😄

anyone know how to stack fertilizer

I run my entire cluster on an 8GB memory cloud VM. I enable VRAM and bump it up to 64GB. If you want to save cost i would 100% recommend just use virtual memory. It runs ASA server perfectly fine and you will not notice performance difference. VRAM uses a little disk I/O but for ASA its negligible perf difference

That could be also a good choise 🤔 I have to think about it.

Another thing id highly recommend if you know how to run Linux, i would ditch windows server for ASA completely. Windows itself uses a lot of compute and is bloated, especially for me where i like to use a tiny cloud VM, i dont want the OS to even use 10% of CPU just to idle.
ASA runs like a dream on proton using Docker, so with a linux machine you can squeeze more juice out of your hardware.

guys im setting up a cluster for my asa server and have a qustion, i will need -clusterid=<CLUSTER_NAME> -ClusterDirOverride="<PATH>" in my start.bat file but about DirOverride, if i want to have a directory on my C:/ do i need to create a empty folder or it create automaticly? olso how do i properly type it just : -ClusterDirOverride="C:/FOLDER_NAME"

[jaunty vortex]

I would create the folder you want to use.

[jaunty vortex]

Yes.
