thx another question do i need " " around password?
i prefer to do that just becuase without the quotations "my password", wud not work, its fine if you dont put a space or special charachters, but can play up without the quotes , ie
?serverpassword=my server
this wudnt work, becuase of the space
?serverpassword="my password"
will work fine
still server not visible, tho i did check box for show player servers
you have port 7778 udp forwarded through firewall and router?
i did order a dedicate server for this and working on that machine, but maybe i still need to port forwarding
your telling it run on port 7778udp with the command -port=7778
so that port must be forwarded
if it still wont show, try using this as session name ,
?sessionname="Lostworldx3x10vanilla"
start out simple, make it work, then add on more complex parts.
and its UDP not TCP?
yes must be udp
the only tcp port used on asa is for rcon connections, which you dont have set in startline so didnt mention it
Did forward a port and did change name to your sugestion still dont show up
give it upto 5 mins to show up , you must forward the udp defined through firewall inbound and what ever else between server and internet, routers , switches , etc etc
I have
"ForceAllowCaveFlyers=True"
but for some reason i still cant fly in realms or magmasaur cave
try this is in the game user setting ini ,
bForceCanRideFliers=True
i think thats the line i used to make fliers useable everywhere on fjordur in ase
i did turn off windows firewall etc did even try server creation tool it says server started but i dont see it in the list. What i react to is it says server started and took like 12sec aint it used to be like 40sec? maybe it dont load a map?

this is my game.ini how much do i need to move to gameusersettings?
you can try connecting to it with using
open ipaddres:port
in the games command console, but it seems like something is blocking it to me,
Commandline: TheIsland_WP -port=7778
this is not how command line shud look if you used ,
start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?sessionname="LostWorld-x3/x10-vanilla"?ServerAdminPassword=XXXX -port=7778 -winliveMaxPlayers=70 -NoBattlEye
and the file path is correct, try doing it like this ,but make the start batch file and launch it in the same location as the arkascendedserver.exe
start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?sessionname="LostWorld-x3/x10-vanilla"?ServerAdminPassword=XXXX -port=7778 -winliveMaxPlayers=70 -NoBattlEye
what’s the best server to choose when making a server? Should i choose new york?
usually its best to go with the lowest ping/distance to the majority of the player base,
i.e i live in uk,europe , so that wud be a terrible choice for me for a server location
thank you. Me and my friend also live in the UK but we are thinking some American people will join so we aren’t sure.
i tend to go with german based servers from the uk , it seems to have better connection over the london ones, presuming your going through nitrado
is 84ms bad? is it difficult to run on?
itsnot terrible , anything under 100 i consider good , under 150 playable , over tghat you notice it alot
shud be noted i have terrible internet so i might not be the best judge of whats ok
Take the Ark ping times with a pinch of salt. It tells me the ping to my server is 80ms. It’s physically right by my knee 🙄
mine Scorched is bugged, you can't travel from it to any map, does anyone know how to solve it, it's the only one that's like this
check its using the same clusterid as all the others, the same cluster folder if its self host (non nitrado ) and theese lines in gus.ini
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False```
I already checked, everything is ok, it just starts the transfer and doesn't finish, and you can't even move the character, I've done everything and it doesn't help
specifically the no tributedownloads=false and preventdownloadsurvivors=false
will block people downloading on it
ah sry i cant help then if you checked everything
I wanted to know if anyone else is like this, because it was after the update
is there anyway to check changes in nitrado or when backups were ran? Hopped on this morning after overnight restart and rolled back about 24 hours
i’ve made my server, i can’t find how to increase certain levels e.g. i’m trying to make it so 1 level adds thousands to weight
anyone have any idea? (i’m on Nitrado)
add lines in game.ini
the base line is
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[<attribute>]=<multiplier>
as found here in the wiki , https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier
an example to add 1000 weight per point for players wud be
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=100
[7] = the weight attribute, =100 mutiples the default 10 weight for each point ,
thank you. Where do i find game.ini on nitrado?
ughh good question, ive not used them for asa , i think its on the left somewhere , under maybe file browser or summit like that , sry i dont really know as it was changed from how ase did it
Config Files, game.ini
i think i found the problem, evry time i start server i get a crashreport tho the exe file keeps runing, is this normal?
i havent checked my test ones since last couple updates, it wasnt normal , but its ark so i dont know now
[CrashReportClient]
bHideLogFilesOption=false
bIsAllowedToCloseWithoutSending=true
CrashConfigPurgeDays=2
that one is now noraml i guess, just updated one mine , cleared all crash files, and it generates this on startup
i’ve activated creative mode in nitrado but i can’t see it in game, any ideas?
Press start and see if it's on the menu. If not, open console commands and enablecheats password, then try again.
must have a admin password set , then use
cheat gcm```
this line in game.ini is no longer used in asa
bShowCreativeMode=true
it was an old ase line to allow consoleusers access to admin mode, doesnt do anything in asa
where do i input the admin password?
probably under general settings on nitrado
or you can do it in gus ini
i’ve set the admin password, i mean in game so i can have cheats
oh its the tilde key to open the command console on pc, not sure on console, see below by bee
everything i thank you, but it doesn’t seem to work. When i go into console commands and i put “enablecheats”, nothing happens
i’m not sure where i can put the admin password so i can become an admin
Type in your password after enablecheats
as a command?
Like if I were to do it,
enablecheats BeesAreCool
Yes
Whatever admin password you set with your nitrado server settings is the password you'd add after enablecheats
still didn’t work
my password is currently “kenzie”, so i put the command “enablecheats kenzie”
How do you know it didnt work?
coz cheats aren’t working
Which cheats?
gcm
Cheat gcm
i always just use cheat gcm , its the easiets one to tell if its working
yeah didn’t work
Do it twice
on a server u always need "cheat" before the actual cheat command , everytime
Lag can cause it to not work the first time
Is your password capitalized?
no
Wait, you arent adding quotes are you?
no qoutes , and yea dont use capitals on console for password, they have issues with it
no aha
i’ll restart server and try again
When you are setting the password, did you shutdown the map?
recheck the server ini files, make sure you have it correct,
nitrado server to make changes ,
wait 5 mins
make changes
save it
wait 1 min
restart it ```
Lmao will and i on the exact same wavelength atm
its the only other thing i seen causes issues with the admin mode
Yep. Password isnt set right. Im there too.
honestly 99% of nitrado config issues are from not doing the correct shutdown and wait procedure i mention above, sure it sometimes works if you dont wait,but it caused me so much headaches with not going through till i started to do that
half time i waited 10 mins tbh, i got into the habbit of shut down , go make coffee haha
The other 1% is ppl IMMEDIATELY making changes to their maps 5 seconds after they put the map up and ignoring the huge banner that says wait 1 hour till the server is done setting up before making changes 🤦♀️
actually thats more like 50% to be perfectly honest
patience is a virtue
Hey, tried making a special port for both of them
But it’s still not working
Also tried this, doesn’t work either : (
do both servers run from the same .exe or out of seperate install folders?
It’s from same exe
Maybe change the startup files to swap the ports between the two servers. If the problem switches to the other server you will know for sure it’s a port problem
If it stays with original server it has to be something with the startup of that server
Sounds good, will be testing that
Is running from same exe a problem?
no, it just changes how you cluster, how u have it shud work , u might want to also check these lines in the gus.ini
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False```
it worked, thank you all
i’ve got another question
and is there a way i can make it so everyone automatically unlock all engrams when they level up?
I should also add that I can upload my Dinos and items, and it also creates a folder named clusters with my steam id in it. It just shows no session when I clicked on travel, with both servers up and running
check the settings i mention above, notributesdownload=false is a common one gets missed
in the game.ini set this line,
bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true
just be aware , this unlocks tek at lvl 100
if you dont want it to do that , u need to add a load lines seperate, i do it using ark beacon app as its loads lines code
yeah that’s good, thank you so much!
No problem, added them and it’s gonna take another 15 mins for it to start up and join again lol
shud really check to see if they are there in first place then change if set true,
otherwise you cud end up with duplicate lines causing more issues
tell me how to fix the error - You have been kicked because the время
server did not receive your unique identifiers
Yep, I checked and I had the first 4 lines but not the upload lines before
Currently testing it out, but also I can see both server when click on join ark in the title menu, but not travel in between in game
Hi, I have a problem with my server. No one can build at tag level... I know an option exists and I enabled it... "?PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=false" False or true .. nothing
If it doesn’t show you the other server from the obelisk it doesn’t think it’s part of the same cluster. Retype both cluster ids to make sure there’s no funky hidden characters in one of them. Also make sure there isn’t a line in the ini files setting one of the cluster id to something odd Not sure if that’s even a thing in ASA but I would check anyway
Will be checking for that, also I’m on ASE for mods that I liked haha
Does this happen to everyone, or only happen to your character?
Friends in my server can’t see any sessions either
Advice should be same. Don’t think they changed much about cluster setup
ah ok, I misunderstood then. I thought you meant you can click on the ark in the menu but nothing happens.
That list is based on the cluster ID. I’ve had it show even when the server was unreachable for other reasons. Cluster id and query port are only two things I can think of that would stop it from even showing
WAIT. I had this happen in ASE once. Do you have passwords set? If so, make sure that option is selected from the connect screen that pops up in the obelisk. I fought this for like an hour couple years ago
I don’t have a password set sadly 😦
Well. It was a thought. lol
Just switched ports but it didn’t change anything
Can still see both server in join menu, but not travel in game
Yeah. I forgot this was only from the transfer screen issue. Ports wouldn’t be the issue if you can connect directly to both servers from main screen
I did some search on the net and saw someone saying that it might have to do with that ase is searching for server in unofficial when looking for cluster rather than searching for LAN, I have no idea how to get it to search though
The same options are at the bottom of the connect screen when transferring as when you connect from main screen. Make sure whatever options get the servers to show up there are set when trying to transfer
For me it doesn’t have the session filter selection, so I was wondering if that was the cause
Anyone know if the seed farm mod has a discord? I’m having some issues with it and need to add some game.ini stuff to get rid of the ultimate tek crop plot
Shouldn’t matter. I think that’s not there because it’s automatically filtering to cluster members
But other options can cause issues. Like the Show Password protected servers. Don’t remember what all is in that screen. Like I said it’s been couple years since I setup a cluster in ASE
pretty sure that is the issue, lan doesn't show for clusters.
its what I found when I did ASE clusters anyway.
Something really weird just happened, when I joined the destination server through main menu, i spawned as my old character and I can access to my Dinos in the obelisk, while I still couldn’t travel from the original server. But I guess it’s kinda fixed, now just for my friends to test if they can also do the same thing successfully. Have no idea how my character transfer even though I didn’t upload my character though.
Damn. Do you happen to remember how to fix it ?
That means the cluster save directory is working
I assume that’s good news : ) thanks for all the time and advice you gave
I didn't find a fix. since it was a private server I just used the ascend command whenever I wanted to transfer. (force upload like an ascension)
it should just be you having the issue.
I think there was a router setting that might've fixed it 🤷 but I don't remember.
Yeah, saw people with a literal essay about it, but the conclusion is if your router doesn’t support it, you’re still doomed lol
yeah, I didn't want to mess with my router so I just used the ascend command. who knows if mine supports it lol.
I see lol, will look into the ascend command more, thanks for advice!
its this one https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#Slomo:~:text=cheat OpenMap TheIsland-,cheat Playercommand,-<CommandName>
can just do ext since that one gives no levels.
I boosted levels so I just did gamma island 
Is it the “cheat extascend1” command ?
its cheat Playercommand EXTAscend1
I see, thanks a lot 🙂
Ok everyone, I'm still stuck. R710 server server 2019, found out ASA won't work on that server OS. Setup Hyper-V and started a win 10 ASA server, adjusted all forwards to new VM IP, and static assigned that IP via DHCP for that address, but still can't find the server even on the LAN
I assume you're trying to find it in game
Ive tried searching for it both in game and also trying to add via steam in game servers
but since you mention LAN, you might also be trying steam server browser, which doesn't work
ASA doesn't use the query port anymore
even tried adding it by IP to favorites, like the old ase server could
I tried by IP:7777
I also even tried running open IP:7777 in ASA at the menu but it don't work either
I'm stumped lol, I have ran ASE, enshrouded, palworld, etc servers with no issues
ASA is the first giving me problems, could my ISP be an issue?
yeah I've never gotten mine to connect via the open command either
it's the only thing else that changed, but with LAN I would think that would not matter
any kind of firewall setup on server 2019?
From what I read the LAN issue only affected people on the LAN with the servers. You said your friends can’t see them either? Are they on the same lan or connecting across the internet?
Just the default, but I have all the game ports open both ways
I have not tried with any friends yet, my wife and I usually only play on it
the open command can't use passwords. I've had no issues any other way.
non dedicated works for us with no issues also
I am not too sure, but I use zerotier to connect us. which I believe form a LAN connection?
that would be lan yes.
yeah last time I tried it was before the whitelists worked
I just disabled the password. I'm not port-forwarding so nobody can join anyway.
I have all ports for the games open, on the win 10 VM, the R710 server, and my router is forwarding all ports to the IP of the VM
nm
I have rules set there for the ports also
I usually do the advanced rules, and set inbound and outbound rules with TCP/UDP ports allowed
when looking for it in game, do you search for your server name?
Yes
k
I've tried checking and unchecking boxes, like player servers, and refreshing and never see it
best way for me to find my servers in the list since favorites is broken
Zero tier? I’m unfamiliar but a quick google seems like it is a vpn. Maybe that is what’s interfering. I just connect to my lan and then open port forwards on my router. No idea what issues a vpn in the mix would cause
player servers has to be checked otherwise you'll never see it. it only shows nitrado servers if you leave that unchecked
It just create a virtual lan server which my friends and I connect to, and it functions as if we’re in the same network (from my understanding)
it works like a VPN but it makes it so you can have lan connections through the internet. like hamachi
But putting the servers on regular lan and machine that is trying to connect to the servers on a VPN was one of the recommended solutions to the LAN servers not showing up in cluster problem
From what I can tell the server is up and running fine also, I can see the saving world, etc in the logs
I even went as far as connecting from server to router ports, bypassing my main switch to test and it didn't change anything
if my ISP is blocking a port or something could that cause it to not show up in the list
What does this mean?
Like putting machines on VPN to solve LAN connection problem was the suggestion?
I know before you had to allow 7777-7778, 27015 and then a port or two for the server to be seen on the list
that just makes it so its an outgoing connection instead. you would need to port-forward which I assume they aren't since they are using zerotier.
Yeah, I’m currently not portforwarding
No idea really. I just skimmed a post about the lan issue. Have you tried not using zero tier and use port forwarding in your router?
Well, I used zerotier so I don’t mess with my router haha
does anyone have a config example for custom cosmetics?
Right. But that seems an unnecessary complication. All the setup guides use port forwarding. Using zero tier would mean every player you want to access also be on it. Which basically makes everyone a “LAN” connection which seems to be an issue with ASE clusters
I'd just allow all of them. CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL"
yeah, but not everybody can do port-forwarding.
there are a ton of reasons why you wouldn't be able to. anything from the router to the ISP can make it be a no.
What is the URL to allow everyone
that is the URL to allow everything.
oh ok
Personally I’ve been the server holder in our friend groups and we already had zerotier set up wayyyy before our ark server, and even further back we were using hamachi. It’s certainly not over complication for us since we’re now all very familiar with the system
anyone else see this yellow message on server start up "Couldn't load mods library from disk
"
its just unfortunate that ark has issues with lan servers. afaik there is no fix, just gotta use the ascend command 
I understand. But it makes troubleshooting a pain since most of use will have no experience. :).
its just a lan issue, zerotier isn't doing anything
lol, at least I got a command to get around it, which is more than enough
yeah, I've been using that workaround since I started hosting on the win10(gamepass/microsoft store) client lol. when I switched back to steam the lan issue was still there so kept using it.
Yeah, I didn’t expect it to ran into these kind of issues since this game has already been around since 2016, and I thought this would be addressed in past patches
messing with the server browser would probably cause a ton of issues since its already really bad lol
Yeah. You would expect that. Does zero tier allow you to setup multiple “LANS”. Maybe putting the server on a separate LAN and mimicking the port forwarding between the two networks would fix it? And yes, I’m basically just throwing out wild guesses at this point. lol
Yeah, sadly ASA seems to have nightmare problems, I never had this many issues with ASE, and I ran I think 4-5 Maps clusted with ASE on the server before with no issues
So I might be stuck running non dedicated from my system till things get worked out, I also called my ISP to see if they are blocking anything just to rule that out
It’s possible to set up multiple networks, but I’ve already been dealing with this issue long enough and bug everyone with the resets every 20 mins lol. For now I’ll just enjoy the game. Thanks for all the advices. : )
half the issues with asa self host is people using the wrong server start commands,(old ones from ase), the servers show as running in tickingloop, but they arent joinable for some reason .
the best way to check , is look for the server name on battlemterics website, with tell you what ip adress an port its running on , if its actually running properly and the specified udp port is forwarded
I should test it but I think this issue is fixed for ASA (there is no lan tab anyway)
I should try out a cluster.
yeah battlemetrics don't see my server
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.
I have added this to the GameUserSettings.ini CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL but it does not work. The "" was automatically removed.
When the mods we have make the transition to ASA that’ll be our time to move lol, and I’ll probably need to come here for help again. But for now ASE is more than enough : )
only time thats happended for me was when i didnt have the udp port forwarded ,
asa servers sometimes dont work with ?port=xxxx , they always work with -port=xxxx far as i know
that is weird. are you on a nitrado server?
No self hostet, nitrado server are shit
oh, mine also removed it. weird, it should work tho
its not working 😦
make sure you restart your game, respawn, are using the new menu (next to folder view)
oh I haven't seen the new menu. It works! 🙂
I'll have to check that in the startup. thanks!
How do I add the dear jane mod to unofficial server? I can't manage to find the numbers anywhere online.
983782
found it online from the curseforge webpage that i cant link lolz
Thanks buddy. I looked at curse but didn't see it.
they really need to allow links to that site now its where all the official mods are held
Wheres it posted on curse? I must be looking in the wrong area.
for some reason, in my server, different tribe can enter each others storage? What’s the setting i can change this at?
forceallstructurelocking=true
They need to pin code them
you can double check here, i might typo it ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
the code didn’t work, i also couldn’t find it on the website
any idea where to look?
You can just pin code all your doors and containers. That setting doesnt seem to be verified for ASA
I can confirm it is fixed for ASA (just made a cluster lol)
use ctrl f to search a website an it comes up ,
ForceAllStructureLocking=true
goes in gameusersettingini under the header [serversettings]
it dont care about capitals so i had it right , it works in asa
Can’t get character transfers to work
Have same cluster ID with character upload download enabled but when transferring get stuck downloading character
self host or nitrado?
Nitrado
check these settings ,
NoTributeDownloads=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
most people miss the notributedownloads=false
if set true it blocks all downloads
Appreciate it
Thx all for trying help me and i guess more ppl have same problem- run dedicate server and dont see their server on list. We all was thinking it regarding portforwarding, but i found post in internet with same issue that helped me solve my problem. I had to install somthing called "UnrealEngine Dedicated Server Install Certificate Script" after that install all issues was fixed.
I get errors trying to run that, not sure I trust that either
I just tested my servers from my kids computer. Both servers are running on my pc and he was able to connect and transfer from one to the other
yeah, ASA doesn't have a second tab for lan so it works.
oh yeah, that thing...only applies to windows servers. information for it is up on the wiki. Never had to do that with my servers as they run using proton in Linux
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.
Yeah. But it’s Ark. Never hurts to verify. 🤣
I did lol
lol. 🙂
crap, wonder if that would work with my server
I missed that. Hehe
You running Dedicated?
worth a try. sorry, I knew about it but obviously, since I've never done it...not in my thought process when troubleshooting usually
Yeah, poweredge R710, running windows server 2019
Good evening, I have a problem with my clustered server. When I launch my 2 instances only the one which is launched in 2nd works. The 1st tells me connection timeout exceeded. Whatever card I throw first or second I have the same result. a help ?
Are you running both on different ports? Sounds like the second to launch is taking over the ports
Yup ports its differents
It had been working for several months and suddenly it no longer worked.
if its asa servers, try using -port=xx to change port, half time ?port=xxx dont work
If I run The Island in 1st and Scorched in 2nd Scorched will run very well. If I do the opposite it will be The Island which will run perfectly well. Not a port problem
it sounds to me like the seconf server that you starts becuase it will default to port 7778 udp , an that port is open .
doubles check u have port 7777 udp open, sometimes a router can update an mess with the forwarding
I’d comb through my ini files too. Just to make sure an extraneous port setting didn’t sneak in. Can’t you put the port in game.ini also? Or was that ASE only?
If you start one server and don’t start second can you connect?
ase thing , asa i only cud get to change port usinf -port=xxxx in start command .
what they do is first server you start runs udp7777 default, then the second defauklts to 7778, etc etc etc
at the 1st no
Only the 2nd
That doesn’t mean they aren’t stomping on each other’s ports for some reason. That just means they both have working ports
So running only one server never works?
No
asa only needs the one udp port open to connect an play on the server , it defaults to udp7777,
most servers are running on that unless u specify a port using -port=xxxx ,
if one server is running on 7777, the next server instance started , defaults to udp 7778 unless told other wise with -port=xxxx
use battlemetrics website , search server name to see what actual ip an port there using , to verify
I’d go through every step of setting posts again. Including port forwards in the router and server’s firewall. And verify my startup scripts haven’t gotten messed with. Check game port and query port every step
asa doesnt use a query port, thats the old steam port, asa runs on eos
If that doesn’t work, I’d probably try something silly like setting up a third server. Start all three and see if it is only ever the first server that breaks.
two possible ports for ASA: Game Port (UDP) and RCon Port (TCP), and you generally don't port forward for the RCon port unless you know how to secure it.
anyone know the command to tp to a player?
Cheat Teleporttoplayername (igname)
OK I FOUND IT !!!!!!! ..; It's Satisfactory Game which shares the base ports of ark. We manually change the ports of ARk but they still take the authorizations of the Satisfactory port
didn’t seem to work. the persons name is “proongles” so i put the command “cheat teleporttoproongles”
you need a space
No, cheat teleporttoplayername proonglea
Or whatever you spell that
glad u found it
worked thank you!
that'd do it
What was the ini line for autounlockengrams on ase?
Thanks!! Wasn’t aware of this. I unforwarded my query ports. No reason to leave a hole in my firewall
in the game.ini set this line,
bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true
just be aware , this unlocks tek at lvl 100
if you dont want it to do that , u need to add a load lines seperate, i do it using ark beacon app as its loads lines code
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.
fun thing, you can start and run and join an asa server with udp port 7777 forwarded using just this batch file in the smae location as the exe
start arkascendedserver.exe theisland_wp
it will default to port 7777 an set a random name for it the gus ini
tbf u dont need start, only put that in so it auto closes the batch file lol , i spent a few days over xmas messing with the start commands to figure it all out
Does that enable Battle Eye by default? Cause I hate that thing. lol
yea it wud , needs -nobattleye to disable that
K. Thanks. 🙂
Hey guys
Me and my Friend made our own Server with Nitrado and we tried to change our Harvesting/Baby Mature Rates.
Harvesting is on x100 but we only pickup 3x stones. But if we harvest with pick axe/hatched we get a good amount. And Mature Rate is on like 50x but it doesnt do anything. Babys still growing super slow and imprint timer is still on like 4h..🤔
Is there something wrong with the most recent server update? My server has been crashing roughly every 20 minutes since then and unfortunately I don't have a recent backup
Hey all, I got some progress, I installed those certs on server 2019 and got the server started back up. I can't see it in the list but when trying to do the open IP:port I now get wrong server password, I can't seem to find how to get the password to take, I tried the open IP:PORT?password but still gives wrong password
going to test without password and see if that works for now
Hi! I started a server yesterday and it is stuck in restart mode. I tried reinstalling about 3 times and nothing works. The only time the server comes up is right after a reinstall before I change the settings.
Ok, got the server working sort of, had to use the open command with no password to be able to connect, but had a really funny thing happen. I spawned in, and my wife shortly after, and we quite literally shit ourselves to death.... no idea what setting is messed up.
What kind of settings you got? Super boosted?
Most were default other than the usual, IE xp boost, gathering, etc
So no help on seed farm mod discord as it seems to not be alive anymore. Would this be the game.ini to remove the two engrams?
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekCropPlot_C",EngramHidden=True)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_UTekPlot_C",EngramHidden=True)
I need to go though and see something was messed up lol
"NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Sauropod_Character_BP_Rockwell_C",ToClassName="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_Blood_C")
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Gacha_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_Blood_C")
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Gacha_Character_BP_C",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.5,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0)
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_C",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.5,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0)"
will this run?
Im trying to launch a dedicated server but I keep getting a few errors that pretty much tell me that MS Visual C++ Redistributable is not installed, even though it is installed. Any fixes?
I would say download the all in one for all versions
there is several that different games use, IE 2005, 2008, 2015, etc
that fixed it, thanks
hi my unoffical server hosting through nitrado has a small amount of wyevrns in the scar
im having an issue on nitrado where i cant activate admin commands i will put in enablecheats then the admin password and still being unable to use any
Anyone have spawn code for treasure maps
Pinned messages. Beacon link has spawn codes.
cheat gfi PrimalItem_TreasureMap 1 0 0
is it possible to not put my mods on my start.bat file? I would rather have them in a ini file so I can simplify the launch bats when hosting a cluster
anyone know why this isnt working for the seed farm mod am i missing something? SF maybe? OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekCropPlot_C",EngramHidden=True)
their discord is basically dead. i cant figure out how to get rid of the tek and ultimate tek crop plot since they are able to make BBS
i'm looking for some help setting up a crosschat and store plugin for my server that uses sql anyone got any knowledge of this process i nothing about sql
try this way , might work ,
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Tekcropplot_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)
Have not tried it, but the WIKI shows ActiveMods is still supported by both ASA and ASE and can be get in GameUserSettings.ini
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#[ServerSettings]
finally switched to scorched earth, and overnight all my server settings went to default. wtf
We got three maps all clustered via the code, we can travell and all that, but before travelling we have to upload everrything at an obelisk or a transmitter or a drop, if we dont do that our inventory gets cleared, and we cant travel directly, we have to upload our characters, how can we fix that?
We are hosting on ase via nitrado
What do you mean by travel directly?
Without having to upload character, restarting game, loading onto the target server
Are all your maps set to the same cluster id?
You're in the wrong channel for official servers. This is for unofficial and single player.
How do I find the Mod ID on curseforge to add to the ActiveMods= ?
Looking at added the Rustic building mod but don't see the ID anywhere to add to the server to have it download
Project id = mod id
oh, sweet, well that's obvious lol, thanks!
No problem. Yeah curseforge does their own thing...since they serve multiple games
Got it, will clients auto download the mods or do they have to download also? I know with ASE bigger mods had issues with downloading before
They should download automatically, but they sometimes get stuck. In those cases just have them download from the mod menu before joining the server. I post a mod list in my discord for friends playing on my server so they can do just that.
So to update on the server here. those certs worked, but we both still have to use the open IP:port command to connect, can't see them in the server list at all
Sounds like something is still blocking the server list from seeing your server.
Might also just take time to show up.
Yeah, I wondered if something my ISP too
Yeah, the exact same one, it‘s a custom one tho
I know I have everything forwarded correctly, since I have ran ASE clusters and all with no issues
Some don't like customers putting up services on their connection unfortunately
Hmm
but I have switched homes and ISP since
so the only other real factor that has changed
Anyone having issues with the new horrirdevmod cosmetic mod ps5
I want Jordans and a hat 😂
Ensure you have NoTributeDownloads=false in your game user ini
umm... hwat?

Ok, thanks
It is like that
on my dedicated server, my friend just lost his character and items due to a crash during transfer. Im not too worried, as i can admincheat his items, but how do I fix this happening again?
and your cross ark has no check boxes checked?
None
Also one of the guys just traveled over a dino(baryonix) from gen 2 to ragna and it got set back to lvl1
If u want I can send you ini via dm
sounds like your server settings are not identical , or transfers are messed up, no sorry I havent time to check through INI just now
Well the only things that dont match up are the points per stat(on gen2 higher than on rag, and only by a little bit, also gen2 has a stackmod and autounlockengrams)
No worries, still thank you
fixed
Could the issue be that the maps are split between two nitrado accounts? But it‘s even between those of the same account
Shouldn’t be. I’ve clustered ASE servers before on different Nitrado accounts
Oke, well Idk whats the problem then, thanks tho
my scorched is using 3.1
it has 2 players on it
I'm self-hosting lol
No, a dedicated 
both task manager and the server console say 3.1GB(task manager shows just under 3GB) 🤷
now its at 3.2 
wonder if something is capping it
its not lagging at all tho so doubt it.
ASA, I think I would know what game I'm running lol
my ASE used more 
granted I had a bunch of mods
I always bring up resource monitor
task manager wouldn't be wrong on usage would it lol
3gb is extremely low... 7gb scorch and like 11gb island
my island also uses 3gb 
it is definitely being capped, SE just dropped to 2GB lol
still not lagging tho 😂
that would be lag..
Is it in a docker or a VM?
How much ram does that PC have?
okay island is using 7GB 
it just finished loading
it was using 3GB when I first started hositng tho
There we go lol
SE is still on 2GB tho
No pics or links here
my alt just died 
yeah, no idea. maybe its just being nice to me 🤷
since the island is at 7GB its not a cap thats bringing it down.
I'm trying to become a moderator 😁
You host on windows? got my server running, but cant find it ingame. Even on the same pc....?
are you on the same PC? make sure you are filtering right.
Is there a way to disable certain commands on a Nitrado server? Like to allow admins to use commands, but not creative mode.
same PC could have issues, try joining via IP.
Open IP:7777
and same network?
LAN shouldn't have any issues appearing. mine show both in the browser and transfer screen.
Yeah cant find, even on same network, they are both on wifi on the same router.
make sure you enabled "show player servers" and "show password servers" if you use one.
tried al possibilities
just gotta join through IP then. make sure there isn't a password set.
Any ideas on this? We have a backup from a couple days ago that works but any after that dont work... server restarted on its own earlier and doesnt work and only backup that works is 3 days old now. Nothing in log indicating error, just stuck in reboot loop now
nothing
is your server actually running? what does the console say?
send it private
it looks right
maybe disable battleye.
it should be disabled
maybe remove the IP part
and quary port.
I just put the 7777 port part
did you figure out why its happening?
Hi friends. Not sure if this is the right discord to ask in but my fiance is having an issue with audio when playing Ark and speaking through discord on his Xbox series X. We’ve done the unplug reset and the bluray reset. Randomly when he plays the audio will go really crackly. Whomever is listening to him on discord also hears his audio go crackly as well. And when it happens he usually can’t close the game, he has to fully turn off his Xbox and turn it back on again. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!!
I have a problem, I probably turned something off in the options and now I can't see the light when the drops are supposed to fall. there is no light/ray that shows where the drop is.
thats just something xbox has right now. the light settings being on low is the problem. gotta wait for a client update to change that.
Thank you.
So we have been trying to set up an ark server since 2pm this afternoon and no server hosting has EVER been so painful for us.
We are setting up a server through Nitrado, and nothing has gone right, ESPECIALLY with the server actually showing up on the server list. We got it to come up and running after a overly painful server set up through the host where we actually had to wipe and restart (we didn't do anything incorrectly, it just wouldn't work. Their support also did nothing to help us so we decided to do it ourselves before requesting a refund if it came to that). We ended up having to take the server back down because the harvest rates were MESSED up.
But anyway... Why does it take 30+ minutes to show up if it does show up at all? And why does setting a password on our server cause it to break and get into reset loop. Taking the password off fixed it.
We are playing Windows 10 Crossplay + Steam
Does anyone have suggestions for making disabling a large number of engrams in the ini easier?
Our server is having continuous character losses apon crashing when transfering between asa scorched and Island. Is this happening to anyone else?
ours is too. has to do with game crashng
Have you found a fix?
or know of someone that has?
No, ive asked a couple times
its almost entirely client side when it happens i think
Its not our server crashing either its individual players T_T
yeah
dang we'll keep trying
the best i can tell you is to not have any items on you when you transfer
keep that to a minimum
We have the means to recover player saves but its getting annoying
how do you do that?
is there any way i could ask you or your server owner how to do it
cause it just happened to my friend again the other night lmao
is there a list for the ASA scorched earth spawn entry containers anywhere? i'm trying to get the gigantoraptor to spawn on scorched earth on my dedicated server but the spawn entries from ASE don't seem to work, which makes sense. what i tried was "ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesBadlands_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="BigChicken", EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))"
they aren't listed on the wiki....just had to guess when I made a similar entry for the canyons
SE_DinoSpawnEntriesCanyons_C is accurate for SE for all but the easiest part of the canyons in the center of the map
this is the page I used to get that: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_entries#ARK:_Survival_Evolved-0
so this line should work then?
that's the spawn container from ASE....but if that's not working then it must be something different
oh i see what you're saying
yeah i wish there was an easy way to find spawn containers in ASA
I used the canyon one from ASE and it happened to be the same
yeah looking to see if there's an admin command to list the spawn contianer info in the console or something
i'll try it with the canyon, thanks
it was a headache trying to find it anywhere, the only info i could find was spawn commands which wasn't what i was looking for
didn't try it without that, but that worked for me
thanks for your help
not a problem
Anyone know the command for making crop plots not need sun
How do I increase tribe tame limit?
i've got "MaxPersonalTamedDinos=2000?MaxTamedDinos=15000?" in my server start bat file.
then "MaxTamedDinos=15000
MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit=5000" in my gameusersettings.ini
I no don’t think putting that in your startup will work. Unless you are on ASE?
MaxTamedDinos=15000
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=5000
I think these are what you want?
I've just pasted it into my gameusersettings and it's worked
thanks for coming back to me
is there any problem with the servers? i cant connect to my server, no1 can!!!
Looks like it
In ASA you need to reference the dino's full blueprinth path instead of just "xxxx_Character_BP_C"
Hi guys,
I have server on Nitrado and i want to had a message before my server restart like "the server will restart in 15 minutes " and have a countdown every 5 minutes anyone know the command line
Thank you in advance!
is there a setting to prevent unrendered stasis/hibernation?
my specific issue is, i left a tame (baby bronto) next to a wild theri to kill it off because i didnt want to do it my self, i flew away while it was getting attack and it was not until I came back into render the next day that the bronto was finally killed.
is there any setting to fix this?
If I wanted to start my own pvp cluster what is the price per month I’d probably end up paying?
couple hundred $ at least, depending on how many people you want to support
Command for underground crop plots
Don't know of a command like that....tek crop plots allow for that though...but aren't in ASA yet
underground? wut
Without sun
Ok I was thinking some kind of meshed plots but that makes more sense.
Does anyone know how to setup a chat linked to discord from the game? Is it difficult to do?
I’ve not seen anyone do this yet. It may need information from Wildcard on any API calls.
It’s on a server I’ve played on, I want to help a new server I’m on do it, I’m on console and the chat is rubbish
Is there a simple way to replace scorched dinos with like Island dinos? I have tried the command below and it removes pego's but doesn't add stegos.(I am running a server for small kids and trauma victims so I need to make a few changes while keeping the game fun)
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Pegomastax_Character_BP_C", ToClassName="DStego_Character_BP_C"
If you know the admin, can you ask them how they did it?
The ascension-bot on GitHub might do it, from a quick scan
I don’t know them, but I did ask and all they said was they use GSA
Which I’ve no idea what that means and felt rude asking for more information as they seemed busy
Hello , I am first time Ark player playing in single player , I was just wondering if the Easter event is over & if not how would I go about activating it.
I presume they mean GSM, which is a server manager. You can add to it to support different games. I’ve not used it myself.
This is best asked in #bobs-with-probs as this is the unofficial server setup channel.
Thank you
Ah okay, thank you for your replies! I’ll keep googling and see if I can find anything else out, I’ve become an admin for the server I’m on and I hate that I can’t chat and help ppl, I have to go to discord to tell someone else to chat for me 😅
You could buy a cheap usb keyboard? I did that for my nephew who is on Xbox.
I know the guy who writes the server manager I use is keen to integrate game chat into discord.
It’s opening up the chat I’m struggling with I have to button bash so much, but the past few hours no matter what I’ve tried I cannot get the chat to pop up, I’d be willing to try it tho, don’t feel like a good admin if I can’t chat and help ppl
I think with the keyboard plugged in, you get the same options as on PC. So / should open a chat window. I’ll ask my nephew
You cant even type the word "the" in xbox right now.
I know it sucks 😂 so much gets censored, I’ve wrote whole sentences that are completely censored, I can deal with that tho, even tho it’s frustrating and thank you John, that would be amazing if it works the same as PC
My nephew hits / on his keyboard to open the chat box and then types his message
No way, oh that will be a game changer, literally. Thank you so much for your help!
It made his life easier just logging in with the passwords!
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Pegomastax_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Stego_Character_BP_C")
Your syntax isnt finished. Need the closer
no, otherwise it would be to resource hungry. And you probably mean stasis. Stasis cannot be disabled, at least the range got a bit larger in comparison to ASE
Looking for anyone who has used the "Starter Mod Ascended" Mod. Have questions about setting it up since the mod page on curseforge has like...no information x__x
Guys, is anyone else having a problem with losing a character in an unofficial transfer?
@fallen jolt I pm’s you
Anyone else have there nitrado server restart as ark#……after daily restart and rollbacks aren’t solving the issue
Ok
The wyverns on my steam server are very scarce and if I get them to follow me out the trench, they disappear. Has another else seen this on your servers.
faslo the torpor not going up is that a code issue or just game
This happens to us on restart frequently. I just use Beacon and push the configuration back to the server and restart it.
Wild Dino Wipe will fix this sometimes.
What is Beacon? I'm having this issue right now
Beacon is a tool that helps you configure ypur Ark server. It is much easier to understand than the Nitrado web interface and it also shows you all of your options which you can't see in the web interface.
faslo the torpor not going up is that a code issue or just game
They changed it so you can't lure them out like in ASE. The "poof" back into the trench after they lose interest in you
Just looking to confirm where I enter this so I can have my server setup for cross platform. -ServerPlatform=ALL I currently have it in the Bat File and My Friend still cannot join
Is there a way to alter max wild dino level without altering the difficulty setting?
I just rented a nitrado 3 day server but it won't start up it this a issue with ark or nitrado?
did you try to contact nitrado support? when you started the server, how long did you wait for it to fully load? it can take time, especially on the 3 day purchase one may not get priority access
It's been restarting for 5 hours
did you put any mods?
Just one the spyglass
remove the spyglass and see if that does anything, if not contact their support. that's why they are there, to help with issues like that
Ok
"shouldn't" take longer than 15-25 mins to roll up for the first time
How do you set up a server to run a command on startup?
actually managed to get server status running for my servers using Gatus via the Pterodactyl API. And it alerts to my Discord...though the customization of those alerts leaves a lot to be desired.
Anyone else with problems with 50/50loc on The Island? It started a few days ago making the server ping high as heck
Most people have had that issue over the years, also happened on ASE, not sure what the fix is if there is one
Guys, is anyone else having a problem with losing a character in an unofficial transfer?
Yep, still happens once in a while
We r doing backups often for our players over here
I can't download the character it appears to spawn him and when I click it says downloading
We have them on evolved aswell, but on asa is making the map unplayable (might be a coincidence idk), its been a week that our server is running on 350+ ms
Oof, does admin rifle deleting everything there make it run better
Temporarily yes, but once you leave the area it starts to spawn wild dinos nonstop
I got a screenshot last night with over 100 wild dinos stuck on that position (dimorphos, argies, pteros)
Is 50/50 not the garbage collection location? Where Ark dumps everything it’s not sure about
Yes it is
But once that garbage is visible to players, it makes the server a lagfest
hi is it possible to change the amount of stats one level give for example right now weight goes up by 10 could i change that to 100
Your answer is yes, yes you can
thanks
Running dedicated server from pc.. one day i changed my screen to a better one 4k. now when i start the server its teeny tiny text. anyone know how i make it bigger again.. ive already enlarged it in windows and that worked for ALL the rest of the net and pc stuff. just not this window.
We got three maps all clustered via the code, we can travell and all that, but before travelling we have to upload everrything at an obelisk or a transmitter or a drop, if we dont do that our inventory gets cleared, and we cant travel directly, we have to upload our characters, how can we fix that?
yo im trying to add a shadowmane to the big valguero cave but for some reason theyre not spawning
ive added this:
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="VAL_TwitchBioWater",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="shadowmanecave",EntryWeight=0.2,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("LionFishLion_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="LionFishLion_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))
am i missing something?
full name of that biome spawn container would be "VAL_DinoSpawnEntries_TwitchBioWater_C" @quasi slate
im trying to add this ip (ark.ethdom.com:7718) to my playservers on steam but it says its not right or something i wanna play on lost islands on this ip how do i fix this
its something bou the adress
anyone know the Fasolas blueprint path? i cant get the one i found to work
that's not an IP...that's a domain
try 74.204.80.18:7718 instead
but also, is this for ASE or ASA? If for ASE, and you're trying to add it to the game servers windows on Steam, you'll want to use the Query port, not the game port. If for ASA, stop trying, you won't be able to add an ASA server to the steam server browser, as it no longer uses the Steam API. It uses the EOS API
ah lost island, yeah, use the query port and the ip I typed above (replace 7718 with 27015 or whatever your query port is) and it should show up in the steam game server window
ty
Hey quick question, I set up a Server with my friend, the problem is we have the constant storm bug where the next Storm queues before the first is over, how do I solve this or turn off the Storms? 🥲
No way to solve it or config to turn off storms, it's just an issue ingame. You can use commands to stop them for a few minutes.
That´s bad but Thank you! Do you happen to know the Command for this?
You seem to know about much, do you happen to know about my issues aswell?
do you have any kind of restrictions on transferring?
No, none
It‘s the first time that happened to me, on all my other servers I had it set up the same way, only difference was I used the pregenerated crossarkid, this time I used a personalised one
so you have the 7 settings needed for that:
noTributeDownloads=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
Yeah
in the GUS.ini?
Just checked again, they are the exact same in the GUS
have you seen the transfer files actually get put into the cluster folder?
I'm leaning to it more being some sort of permissions issue with reading/writing the files
I honestly dont know how to check it since Im hosting that server via xbox
thank you
hosting the server on an xbox? not sure of the permissions involved on an xbox
what do you mean hosting on an xbox? nitrado? or are you talking non-dedi?
what difficulty setting would I need to see a max level of 160?
whatever 160/30 is. *which pretty much means you can't.
Me neither, but I feel like it‘s a rare bug tbh
Yeah bought the server via my xbox on nitrado
do you manage it via your xbox? or do you have a login for the nitrado site?
i manage it over the nitrado account linked to my xbox and phone so sorta both
and you're renting multiple servers through them and transferring between them?
On my phone it‘s better for the ini tbh haha
Well one Im renting to my console and account and two over the console of a friend
And transfers dont work at all
not sure if nitrado support linking servers on multiple accounts. All it should require is the same clusterid, but I don't know if you can link them. Normally clustered servers require a shared directoy where they can place the transfer files
I linked servers before on multiple accounts and back then there was no problem
for instance, I used to run a cluster with a friend on ASE. We both ran servers locally (me in Michigan, he in New York), but we had to setup syncthing to sync the two directories between our computers
But the problem is even between the two servers hosted on the account I dont have access to rn
nitrado to nitrado clustering is fine, they setup a shared folder for the main clusterid .
you cant cluster from say a nitrado server to your own pc though
So the different accounts arent the problem?
then you'd probably need to talk to nitrado about why it's not working
differnt accounts never caused an issue in ase, since the process is same, i assume not an issue, but its ark....
check the filters on all the servers in the cluster, but i cant see that being a problem, its a weird issue
I dont know that cross account clustering is a thing in ASA. It would not surprise me if it wasnt. Alot of things changed when they went crossplatform.
How can I make a friend in ASA Admin and increase the tethering distance?
I put a setting in ark se, it means that the water and food does not decrease, how can I remove that?
you can filter by platform.
Yes. But we dont know that Nitrado supports cross account clustering in ASA.
you changed theese two settings in game user setting.ini , switch them back to 1
PlayerCharacterWaterDrainMultiplier=1```
thought nitrado says they have to be on the same account
But if you have information to the contrary for the guy above please help him out. He has been posting everywhere for days.
its a randome weird issue, if they can see each map from the obelisk, then the clusterid is fine,
they can transfer items via obelisk, so the shared folder is working fine
what they cant do is transfer with items on them.... weird if the above two work fine
Ok, well I just bought another one on my account where I only had one and set it up, got a friend to test out if it works now, if not Ill text nitrado if it still doesnt work, thank you
What is the best s+ equivalent in ASA, I'm having trouble finding consensus.
I already did, nothing somehow
Well it‘s on ase anyways haha
I've been using Super Structures Ascended but it's development seems to have stalled out. They have plans to duplicate what they did for ASE...but only have the pullings plus tools done so far. The others I've seen have issues and haven't convinced me to switch yet
Yeah we had QoL+ and that too seems to have stalled
but they have no discord, i saw SS ascended at least had that
i suppose i can poke around
development on a lot of mods stalled with the lead up to Scorched and has only resumed with a few mods, very hit and miss right now
👍🏼 thanx 👍🏼
no problem, if u want slight boost set them at 0.8 , thats what i tend to use, still tricky when first start , not so annoyying once estabilished
Does anyone know how I can setup Nitrado or Beacon so that I don't have to put 'enablecheats' to become admin on my server? Is there something I can do to the backend that allows me to be admin as soon as I log in?
Nitrado should have an admin whitelist in the settings, add your steam ID
What if I'm on xbox?
Maybe your account ID?
My pc players keep getting a timeout issue. Sometimes killing them will fix it temporarily. Does anyone know of a permanent fix. They are us based and the server is uk based
Do you know if when we host a dedicated server on our PC it must be on 24/7? And do you know if this will damage the PC?
you can turn the server on an off as u please , generally its considered the server will just be on 24/7 for others to join but doesnt have to be
as for damaging pc, i have no idea what you mean by this , its just software that will run on it.
Okay i understand thx a lot .
And do you know un general how times we need to set in motion this software ?
you will have to install and setup the server an forward port etc needed, after that you can stop and start it when u want.
just like opening or closing any other program/software ...
google or youtube will have some guides on how to install it
Okay Thx 🙏🙏
Ok, need a little help, set AllowFlyerCarryPVE=True in my GUS.ini but still shows false in admin manager. Is the setting different in ASA?
I believe its bAllowFlyerCarryPVE=true. You can double check on the ark.wiki.org/ server configuration page
You can directly link the ark.wiki.gg links. One of the few allowed
hey i setup a server on my pc
and i can join off my pc but me and my friends cant join on xbox
any ideas?
ASA?
yea
Is crossplay enabled?
how would i check
Or is this a non dedi ?
its dedicated
You would need to add the correct line to the startup to allow for other platforms to join
like on the start bat?
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration look up “-serverplatform=“ to see specifics
Yes
My friend is trying to start up his own unofficial server but he doesn't know how to put in unlock all engrams on level up how does that work
Is your server showing up in the server list?
yes
just fails to join on console
even switched it to -ServerPlatform=PC+XSX+WINGDK+PS5
still didnt work
You may have some port issues. What ports are forwarded and opened up in your firewall?
I dont selfhost, but if you list your port settings here someone will be able to troubleshoot the issue. Its the most common issue when selfhosting maps.
ive port forwarded before and people have joined on their pc before
and i swore its worked on consoles even when i didnt add -ServerPlatform idk why its came to be a problem
If you think the issue lies elsewhere, go for it.
I do not use that start param at all on my server and we have multiple console players
default is all platforms.
I am having issues with my cluster populating on the server list. Are we tracking any issues with the latest update ?
Been fine for 6 months. New issue for me.
Had 40 people on before I restarted them 2 hours ago to update to latest version
They still haven’t populated on the list.
anyone have any good settings to help babies grow within 30 min and imprint be somewhat possible? We have been playing around with the settings and doing drastic changes to try and get some improvement. Nothing seems to have an effect hardly
Lower the baby cuddle interval
If you want all dino's to be breedable in under 30 mins a Mature speed of 500 and imprint period of 0.003 dodo's and quick dino's would only take 1 minute 51 seconds rex's and such would be 11 minutes 6 seconds and giga's would be 29 minutes 16 seconds all could be imprinted to 100%. Keep in mind you would have to perform imprints every 1 minute 26 seconds however so you would have to be on it the entire time on breeding with all possible wants in your inventory. I would suggest increasing your imprint amount multiplier as well to something like 2 because imprint windows will be super tight.
Look at Beacon. It calculates it for you
what is the cheapest server host with whom you can modify the settings? (xp x2...)
no need for too many slots we will be max5
Anyone other than Nitrado will give you that because you’ll be renting a server and then installing an Ark server yourself, which gives full control.
Nitrado have a monopoly on hosted Ark servers.
ok thx
I am on steam, can we play on undedied server with my ps5 friend ?
I bought a server from Nitrado about 2 hours ago, my friend can join it (PS5) but not me (Steam). However, I checked and the server allows all types of platforms. do you know why ? help me please
Can anyone help me? My Server keeps restarting and in the game Log it says:ERROR!!! FAtlasSaveManager::LoadOperationSql: SQL database is corrupt and the save game is compromised! Exiting...
You have backups
if i click them the server loads them,says updating and then keeps restarting
Might have to try an older one depending on when it got corrupt, or make a copy of the player profiles and remove them to see if it's a player profile or the world save that's corrupted
how do i delete one player profile?
If using a hosting site probably have to do it through ftp, I selfhost so not fully sure with hosting sites
I'm getting very frustrated. I keep getting disconnected for the past week. Lost time out connection to host or the game just crashes in the middle of a boos. It needs to be fixed and I cannot find a way to talk to any of you guys
For the past hour she's got disconnected like six times and I keep dying thanks to getting disconnected
All I can do is stay in my freaking base
What is this base simulator?
still doesnt work, ive tried multiple backups, server backups and game backups, i use nitrado, and it just doesnt work. is this because of mods? or could this be because i used the savegame command and then shortly after shutdown the server
Thank you i think i fixed it
I set the setting i used start with backup, and used and older one
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

Not many links are 😢
Yes, those are official.
I'm having the same, and I tried deleting my save data, deleted my character profile from nitrado, deleted all the mods and still getting the dashboard all the time, even when I say in my base doing nothing I dashboarded, I hope someone can help me out idk what is wrong and idk what is happening
Mod question - Is there any recommended type of mod load order, depending on type of mod?
Like dino additions before building structures, etc?
Usually it's overhauls first, or content that changes graphical stuff. A fair few mods tell you "this must be first" or "clean and stackable"
For sure - "this must come first" mods are always pretty clear about it. I more mean for the rest, that don't really state any particular spot matters. I know I've seen a general guideline list before. I'm wiping and restoring and thinking about switching my mod LO a little. Not sure if it'll matter though.
Yeah unless it's specifically an overhaul (like primal chaos, or krakens better dinos), you're most likely fine to add them however. I usually do larger mods first and then smaller mods, if that helps.
Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking too. I just have so many now... the more you add the more you seem to start wondering... or could just be me lol
I think I only run like 11
Hey I Bought ARK LONG AGO and it was on my brother steam account, he isnt playing ark but is playing other games so I asked Him to share it with me so I dont need to buy it again, but when I try to log in I keep getting this errror '' Shared accounts cannot play on this server". How to fix it please?
I saw one fix was to add AllowSharedConnections=False in server settinngs in GAmeusersettings ark folder, I Did it but didnt help. Please help me fix this and play ARK on SERVERS
hey is someone able to help me out with my ark, every time i go to add a server through steam it says ip incorrect even if i simply copy and paste it from the website saying the servers up
ASA I'm guessing?
no evolved, im still installing asa and was gonna play around a bit on a modded server
You using the query port?
i went onto steam then game servers and tried to add the ip from there
Right...you need to append :(Query Port)....after the ip....so like 123.123.123.123:27015
yea i had that at the end of the ip still wasnt working
don't you put the other port after 
I don't even remember anymore. ingame uses the other port
In the steam server browser you use the query port
i dont believe it is
if you have the other port, try connecting ingame using Open IP:port password
i have tried probably 20 different servers all havent worked\
its usually 7777
but sometimes different
check battlemetrics to see if they are even online
i did that as well
Something else is interfering
Is there anyway to disable the essence when dinos are killed?
My server is saying SQL database is corrupt and the save game is compromised, what can I do to fix it? I’ve tried reloading 5 previous saves already but no luck
Nvm I fixed it
Hello, is there a way to see the command “listalldinos” on console? I am having trouble trying to get acro to spawn on SE, and already tried a bunch of stuff
Only with Win10 or Steam afaik. You have to see the command line or be able to paste to a word processor to see the list.
thats not a command 
its definitely not a setting.
@mental narwhal I would suggest using one of the dino finder mods.
I think he means listdinos
Doesnt work too well on consoles unfortunately
is there a way to increase the range of the
"shelter buff" im trying to breed multiple wyvrens but even with a ton of ac units a 10Lx10Wx6H room will not give the buff.
Best to breed wyverns with standing torches, much easier and more effective than AC units. Fireplaces can also help
any time i try to join a server i get in and disconnect after 10-15 seconds anyone hjave a fix for this
very annoying when i have a sandstorm inside my house or thick fog. reee mechanics
Join the same map on single player, this loads the map into memory. Wait about 5 minutes, then exit to the MAIN MENU. Then join the Nitrado map.
thanks, do i have to move around the map or is just sitting there ok
Id run around but its more just waiting a bit to let the game load in the map fully. It should help you get past the login lag that likes to kick you back off again.
If that doesn’t work, you may need to have someone kill your character so you can respawn. Hopefully you dont have to do that tho.
I don't see that command either 
I know there is a command that does that. it saves to the log file which consoles can't see.
Cheat listdinos?
I use it all the time. Lists all dinos on the map.
I don't see it on the wiki Lol
Try it. Its super handy for checking spawns.
Idk what that is. But this was what i been using since ase to check spawns. Lists all tamed and wild, as well as the sex and maturity (babies).
It exists. Honest. Built right into the game.
No lie.
ark save visualizer. its essentially a better larkator if you know that.
lets you see everything that is on a save, from structures to dinos to dropped items 
probably just something missed. I see listplayers so just a version of that.
if it goes into the console then you just need a K&M for it to work on console.
if that mod that disables hibernation works that is probably need too.
this one doesn't give you the specifics that getallstate does 
Its not on the wiki. It still works perfectly. It lists it in the command line and also auto copies it to clipboard. You can hit ~ to see the list or paste it to a text document. Not really a thing on console, even with a keyboard.
if it goes into the console then you can use it there.
Where would you view or paste it?
On win10 yes
I guess i need to see a console with the ~
what
The command line
Yes i get that, im saying i need to try it with a keyboard and have it honor ~
~ is the shift version of the button btw. `
And bring up the pc command line
I get that… god nvm. I said i need to try ut
When i tried to hit ~ on a keyboard on my series X it did nothing before, you are saying this works now. Im saying I need to try it.
fairly sure it worked in ASE as well
not sure why they would allow K&M support but specifically remove the console 🤷
Ok i get it.
The ascension bot does indeed feed the in-game chat to discord webhooks. It also allows users to type in the specified channel and have their messages broadcasted to all servers automatically.
Is there anyway to disable the essence when dinos are killed?
or maybe only allow for the essence of the players dinos to be dropped. I did not realized that all players dinos drop essence
I'm having an issue with the cryo sickness. I added the cryosicknes time in seconds and enabled the below settings under the gameuser.ini file but the time does not show up. Am I missing something?
EnableCryopodNerf=True
EnableCryoSicknessPVE=true
I’ve got a couple issues I’m hoping someone can help me with.
- I can’t get Maewing or Wyvern eggs, or the tame, to spawn in but I can get rex eggs to spawn.
- My Force Tame command isn’t working either.
Any idea how to fix this?
I’m on Nintendo Switch, Unofficial Nitrado server for ASE. Map is Extinction.
Did the boss on scorched and when we loaded back in all the gear was gone. Is ark back to making you put everything in the Dino or is there a fix in Nitrado settings?

anyone elses unofficial server stuck rebooting since the automatic restart?
in non dedi, wat is the setting to make it so dinos breed faster? instead of 5h till they breed again i want it kinda instant
Reduce the mating interval down to 0
iirc it wont accept 0 as that defaults it to 1, use like 0.0001
okii than k u
Hello everyone. Just picked up a Nitrado server for Survival Ascended and have it set to PvE. I'm trying to build near a cave but it won't allow me to place anything down. I'm not IN the cave, but outside of it. Anyone able to provide some insight how to correct this?
AllowCaveBuildingPvE=True
So that is just not inside the cave but in proximity as well?
Wasn't sure so thought I'd come to the best spot to ask. 🙂
yea , theres another aswell depending on the particular area you try to build, one sec i try find it
EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=False
that one with cave building allows building almost anywhere, there is the odd exceptions
Ok, thanks for the advice. I'll add both to the settings.
Hi, I'm having issues with the voice chat not working on my server. Does anyone know how to fix this?
yea both go in game user setting ini, under [serversetting] header, if they are there change accordingly.
nitrado might have options to change them in there general settings, sry not familiar with asa nitrado general settings
GlobalVoiceChat=True
I didn't see them. I'll have to add them into the settings file. 🙂 Thanks again.
can i had proximity voice chat with it?
no problem, before adding, check they are not there and set wrong first 🙂
I know CaveBuilding isn't there. I searched for it earlier but wanted to confirm before adding it in.
hmmm , honestly i cant rem ,
try looking here an searching for chat to see what options there are ,
yeah already done nothing seems relate to voice chat except GlobalVoicChat so i gonna try it ty
is there a setting override to allow multiple tamed oasisaurs?
not that we know of yet,maybe they add that in at later date , prob not ....
Hi, has anyone had the issue that when u crossark the island and scorched that your engram points go negitive after transfer? If anyone knows a fix that would be great.
usually it happens if you dont have all the same mods or settings across both servers
ok ill work on that thanks
hello, i have a problem on custom server, there are almost no wyvern spawns. i go into single player with the same mods installed and the trench is completely stacked with wyverns, i go on my server and the trench is nearly empty with just 2-3 spawning at a time. there are always 10-20 eggs spawning with some stacked into eachother but there is no challenge in getting them. I have wiped and restarted the server multiple times. is there any way to fix this? Also on the island there are considerably less spawns, is there any way to increase the Dinocountmultiplier past 1?
can anyone help my server keeps instantly crashing and i dont know how to figure out whats crashing it
Hello someone knows what is the maximum level in unofficial servers
Do we can change the level of the character
had the same problem, fixed it by removing 2 mods that werent even serverside mods (bunny ears and Gnome).
how'd you figure out what mods they were?
removed the mods one by one untill the server started
oh god thank you
yeaa....
Hey guys, if one wants cannons to operate normally on platform saddles on their server but does not want turrets on quetzals and such how can they achieve that?
Hello. My server keeps crashing on startup. It was running fine until 1 hour ago. There has been no update or modification... any idea?
"LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\j\workspace\RelB\Projects\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\Private\ShooterEngine.cpp] [Line: 2187]
Not all mods were installed. Check the log for CFCore errors."
im hopeless with error codes but this part here wud have me verifying files and seeing if any of my mods recently had an update
Not all mods were installed. Check the log for CFCore errors.
i think CFCore = curseforgecore , i.e mod core files
i believe they shud work correctly with default settings, but there is a known bug with them that is yet to be fixed.
leaving render or relog often fixes cannons not shooting correctly from platform sassles
Update server ?
verify files be my first step, i have my update command do verify aswell, so for me . i run my update batch file, it wont update as none availble , but it will then verify files .
likely not going to help you , as it seems a mod is causing the issue an they check for updates upon each server start , then download the updates if needed
Won't the default settings allow turrets anymore? That's what we want to avoid
by default turrets arent allowed on platform saddles afaik
same ... my .bat is my update ^^
So they changed it? cause they were at the start of ASA but I haven't been on official in a while
that was just a typical wc fuckup, like the fact they allowed people from single playe to d/l to officials lolz
or the latest genius that i think is now fixed, lets block item downloads to a map, but give u 3 chibis from s.e ascension, yea they tested that well..... right
for me it was a bunch of deimos mods
Looking for help on the baby food consumption. Our babies are eating so quick. When I turn the number down, does it slow it down?
Value type: float
Scales the speed that baby tames eat their food. A lower value decreases (by percentage) the food eaten by babies.```
info from , https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
Thank you. 🙂
just the joys of mods :). there fun till they dont work right
😢 Garuga mods !!! xD
Quick question. How does DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier affect taming? I’m thinking of lowering this value. Will it slow down taming?
you want TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier, so it doesn't affect taming
Thank you.
Appreciate the help everyone!
We’re trying to slow down just the babies food consumption.
Does that work for them too?
for that you want BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier
Thanks
no problem, both settings I use in my ini
what does it mean when it says no subscription when i enetr the app id and how do i fix it
trying to host a ASA server
So I did a wipe and restore yesterday and got stuck in a restart loop. Nitrado got back to me and I've resolved that and brought my server back online. But now I can't find it in the list, even searching by name. I think I'm missing something really dumb here. In my Nitrado General Settings, the "servername" no longer says what my server should be, it's now a generic "Ark #xxxx hosted by nitrado.net". Is this why I'm not seeing my server? Do I need to change this to... what it should be? lol
FWIW searching for that generic Ark #xxxx didn't find it either..
highly likely the name is its your issue, asa randomly likes to reset the ini files to default , prob set it to pvp an ure searching pve
Good call, Ill check the PVP thing too.
to save headaches in future, have the filter set too "all" instead, as often if the serever is pve an u search pve it dont show, all is just guarantee less stress
You were 100% correct on the PVP thing. Saving changes and then bringing server back up 🤞
Hmph. It made me remove the special character from my server password. That's dumb.
if u havent already copy paste the ini file txt into notepad on a local machine , that way you can easy replace it when it happens again
Yeah I made backups before I started my wipe/restore
Any time I make ini changes I back them up to my computer
good move, id recomend ftp back up the save files too, rare u need them,but theres always that one time... lol
Yeah I backed up the entire arksa folder lol
Need to do it a bit more often
hey guys how do i fix the issua were you can Install an app id because it keeps saying no Subscription
Same issue with few wyverns, and they are dumb as well. You figure it out?
Server will not boot up and just instantly crashed with Low LevelFatal Error, same as above member mentioned. Went through all the mods and removed 1 by 1, updated ect. still crashing upon boot. Started after the update today. Any ideas
also removed all mods, same, crash. Started up The Island server i have on a cluster on the same machine, works perfectly as it always has. Just SE that started crashing today.
the same thing started to happen to me on both maps, after restarting the servers.
It's only happening with the official servers, svartaflheim is running without any problems!
anyone have a good recommendation of something similar to ark advance for ASA? mainly looking for better lighting, either no fuel or generator powered would be best, Thanks!
anyone else having problems booting their server when they add mods?
Anyone find a soulution to the LowLevelFatalError for not loading modss and server crashing on boot?
LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\j\workspace\RelB\Projects\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\Private\ShooterGameInstance.cpp] [Line: 824]
Requested mods failed to load on server.
My server keeps crashing on startup
It basically intiilizes the mods but it doesn't aknowledge any of the game files. I'm not getting any errors. Nothing is just loading and it crashes before anything happens
"User context not loaded from disk" could have something to do with it although im not sure.
Does anyone have an ini code to spawn gigas on SE first asa? Normal replacement or adding does not work
For some reason when I place a vacuum compartment, it isn’t letting me open it after I unlock it. It shows up red. What am I doing wrong?
hello is there not a command to allow crossark transfer of tribute items and trophies and element?
I changed the DifficultyOffset to 1.5 in my Fjordur dedicated server last time I played and I wasn't able to find Lvl 6 (Made OverrideOfficialDifficulty to 6 so max lvl is 180) Is it because of DifficultyOffset?
i keep getting stuck with thunderstorms, can a server restart fix it? im not the host or anything but im just looking for solutions
Can anyone point me in the direction of documentation on how to setup back ups when using windows server dedicated boxes to host the game?
To backup you just run saveworld via RCON when your server has RCON port exposed. Then you can write a script to compress the saveworld folder (ark and profile files) and copy it somewhere.
anyone know why is that?
Does anyone know why my players are disconnecting after transfering? Running a cluster on self hosted. When it was on nitrado there were no disconnects after transfer
Hello, yesterday I updated my servers. Following that my servers will crash almost immediately while still loading in the server client. I've checked the logs and the issues seems (I think) to be with KERNEL32.dll. I can post the entire crash log if someone wants to read/look at it. I've attempted to trouble shoot on my end. I'll happily take any suggestions. Thank you.
this is happening to everyone using dedicated servers
Thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one. Have a good day.
What version is the server running, looks like last update for unofficial servers was 4 days ago
if you want the max level to be 180, just set the OverrideOfficialDifficulty to 6. DifficultyOffset works with the map difficulty value, which varies by map (and I don't know what value Fjordur sets that to). OverrideOfficialDifficulty should be overriding the Difficulty Offset, but it might be messing with the difficulty. You don't need Difficulty Offset if you have OverrideOfficialDifficulty set.
So i finnally just figured out the issue. (At lest for myself). It has something to do with the mod number 968943, which if i remember correctly was one that studio wildcard had on the front page/scroller of the game. It had something to do with adding colors to lights and stuff. ( I could be very wrong. But this seems to have fixed it on my end all of a sudden). Also current server that I have is 39.32
That's the Games, Glam, and Guns (Sample) skins made by wild card 🤣
Yeah I was just asking if DifficultyOffset just messes with LVL 6 spawns since I haven't found one.
it shouldn't affect it if OverrideOfficialDifficulty is set....but since you have both settings I don't know for sure how each map will treat that
Hi guys. I've been running a dedicated server on my PC for about 3 weeks now and all has gone well until now. Turned my PC on, tried launching my starttheisland.bat and it opens for about 3 seconds and then immediately closes.
from the wiki: "For consistency and clarity, it's generally recommended to use MaxDifficulty or OverrideOfficialDifficulty whenever possible. These settings directly set the final Difficulty value (to 5.0 or whatever is provided, respectively) with no variation between maps and no further calculation involved."
naturally it is.
So it seems to be something to do with mod number 968943. Or at least for me it was. Try removing that from your start batch file and see if that helps.
I don't have that particular mod installed but I went ahead and removed all mods I had enabled, and that seems to have allowed it to launch. Thank you.
I’d try re-adding them one by one and see which one breaks the game. Let us know what you find out.
Server launched successfully. Now, I did have the gigantoraptor mod enabled with 2 of them tamed, what happens to them when i uninstall the mod and then reinstall it? 😆
Gigantoraptor worked.
Dear Jane worked.
Gnome's early Tek Binoculars worked.
Krazy Cosmetics is the only one I have yet to add back.
100% Krazy Cosmetics is the issue.
As long as you don’t start the server with mods uninstalled and not set to install, you should be fine. You can empty the mods folder and then start it so they reinstall, for example.
has anyone looted any ascendant desert armor BP's? if so where? cave drops or surface? the drops on my server are awful, i'm getting stone and arrows most of the time.
I"m pretty sure there's not an INI setting for loot specificily (just the overall difficulty setting) so maybe i'm missing something?
I got some early on from purple through red surface drops....but the loot quality decreased at some point
is there a way to increase the quality without increasing the dino levels? without something like beacon I mean?
SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier
I saw a change early on with the quality of the loot drops...still pretty high but it definitely dropped from launch on scorched
I definitely started it with the mod uninstalled because I needed to see if it would start without mods installed. I reinstalled gigantoraptor and did a backup from last night. Hoping this will restore them. But honestly I'll take losing the gigantoraptor over my server
I might just need to setup beacon. I really don't want better loot from everything in truth, I just want SE specific items to actually drop. right now they're just not on my server. from any drops. since SE launched, i've been on the map every day, and some days for copious hours, I've done all the stuff, tamed all the things, and I have a total of 4 desert armor BPs, 3 blue, 1 purp. I have maybe 10 desert armor Items, and zero... ZERO flame throwers, chainsaws, boomerangs, etc...
I got one flamethrower from a desert drop, that's it though
the problem is....the loot table for those drops include stuff not needed on SE....like sap taps....a lot of armor that isn't real useful in the heat....etc
instead of being specialized for the map, they are generalized for everything in the game.
well, we're basically done with the meat of the map for the most part. we'll keep it in the cluster cause 1) it's the only other official map, and 2) it is a fun, well designed map. but my peeps are a bit tired of not getting any actual map specific drop items.
I get scorched stuff regularly...but also a lot of island stuff like fur armor even
I've gotten a lot of small scorched stuff, like cactus broth and oil jars. The actual scorched gear is difficult.
I don't know their specific results, but mine are paltry at best. and I don't know how to increase the chances of map specific loot without seting up beacon, which i've forgotten how to do it's been so long since I used it.
also... I"m not using nitrado, I"m self hosting a DedServ cluster so I think beacon is a bit less easy to use in that regard if my info is up to date.
you'd have to modify the loot table for those drops, which gets really fiddly and I would bet some of those settings from ASE don't work on ASA yet
If you restored from an older backup you’ll be fine then.
You can just copy and paste the files over, it's not difficult
SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier <--- Just to confirm, this just increases the quality of the items you find in the drops, not the quantity?
sadly not
hey, i'm running an unofficial survival ascended server, after restarting the server yesterday i got the message, that one of the mods isn't installed right. After some testing i found the mod. a friend of mine doesn't has the problem with the mod. So how can i force a redownload and reinstall of the mod from curseforge because simply deleting the corresponding folder from the mods folder inside the serverfiles didn't work?
Unfortunately no. I restored from last night and gigantoraptor mod is installed again and my gigantoraptors are gone. Unfortunately. But it's not a big deal.
Do you know which mod it is?
"Klinger Additional Skin Cosmetics Rustic GreenHouse" ID 974416
So farther up in this mornings thread, John T Angle suggested to DeadChamber to go in and emptying out the mods folder so that they re-install. Maybe try that?
Tried it yesterday but with no luck, but going to try it again later, maybe it reinstalls after a daychange.
that's also why i asked if there is a way to force a redownload, maybe some cached files are corrupt or somthing
can try in game Redownloadmodsonstart think that is the command they added to force a redownload of mods on server restart might need cheat infront of it
It’s something I do when there’s a new version of a mod.
But I also backup every 15 minutes.
is this entry in ini files ok to lower vulture spawn on scorched?
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=”Vulture_Character_BP_C",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.25,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.5)
thanks I will set something up with windows scheduler!
Are a lot of mods broken at the moment which in turn is stopping dedicateds from loading properly?
a lot of mods haven't been updated since like December or so....when we started to get into a content drought. modders stopped modding and updating. Some are coming back and updating, some aren't. I know Legends, the modder for Super Structures Ascended, took some time off and is planning to come back in May. It is wise to check in on the mods you run to make sure they are being actively updated. If shit breaks, it's likely because the mod hasn't been updated in a while.
have a list of mods and server running fine
All of them were working this morning lost power and now server wont start
probably a corrupt back up
even if i load a fresh no save world data, just stops out on like 5 or 6 mods
you deleted the mod directory?
I don't run those 3 :\
i did indeed will try again
does deleting mods and the other folder lose your data ?
deleting the mod folder is not the same as deleting the mod data.
it saves it in a diff directory (the mod data)
you dont do routine back ups you can restore from? (ie entire directory back up/restore)
loaded that and it did the same thing on a fresh vm spin up
and i even tried a month old backup as well
Haven't tried it yet but tried adding the mod back into the mod list and still no serverstart with the mod but looked at the logs again and it doesn't seem to get registered to install it. But it is in the startup -mods=xxx,xxx list 🤔
run the steamcmd updater/validate
So deleting ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\Mods & is ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\ModsUserData safe as well?
i managed to fix my servers by deleting this mod: 974416
Is there a way to make the game remember which engrams you have disabled? I've noticed that it keeps resetting every time I re-launch the game
Hey guys how do I fix the issue were it says the app I'd is wrong?
It keeps saying app Id failed to load
Is anyone else having problems with using game.ini files they don't apply for me
I'd be wary with the mod user data
How to open ports on Hetzner? 🤔
This might be a dumb question, but does having a higher spawn level for wild dino’s cause lag on a server?
Never noticed a difference
@distant hearthAre you using Hetzner?
World temperate is too high all the time
I get it, im in a swampier area, it is not 52C indoors. Thats like 125f, it is NOT 125f right now. I cant do anything because im dying of heat stroke, cant leave because ill die before i escape the pre-heating oven temperatures and all my stuff is still here, cant stay because even indoors im dying of heat stroke. Cant tame a mount that reduces temperature because i just started so i dont have the capacity to do that, not to mention, again, dying of heat stroke.
Ive had to dump basically all of my points into fortitude to try and survive, but no, too hot still.
Is there a console command that can lower the max world temp by a few degrees or something? because i cant stop dying due to the heat.
There is no console command for that. Build adobe house 100% (foundations,walls and ceilings/roof). Use ghillie suit or desert. Better give better protection for heatwaves.
You can also increase fortitude, though it doesn't help a ton
I have 52 and it does not help 😄
Just make fortitude go up 5 points per level instead of 2. The sweet spot to not die is around 160 fort so it’s up to you whether you want to continue wasting points or enjoy the game more.
Hey guys ! Is it possible to make storms less frequent?
No but possibly coming with a future patch
Hey! I’m running an unofficial server and suddenly it starts to restart the server and it keeps restarting nonstop… I’ve no idea what is happening. Does anyone have the same problem? Can it be the mods? Help 😭
I'm unable to place modded items in my server but im able to place them on singleplayer any fixes?
if its crashing its most likely mods
Thanks, I’ll try to uninstall them…
Hopefully it won’t break the map
The 50/50 glitch is terrible
