I have 60 fort and 3/5 pieces of desert gear are ascendant...don't have to worry about heat at all...even in the desert during superheat

I've made no adjustments to fort on the server side

[gloomy trellis]

Doing a couple of test servers. I use the clusterID and I am able to see the other map and transfer. However, when I get to the destination map, it makes me create new character. What am I doing wrong?

[native wave]

it's not able to write the data it needs so the other server can pick it up and use it

or the other server can't read it

they need to share a directory

[gloomy trellis]

I tried the clusterdiroverride as well... but I think you might have answered the question

I used the cluster folder for each map on each directory.

It needs to just be ONE directory

[native wave]

how I have mine setup: my maps are hosted in docker containers, each has it's own cluster directory. that cluster directory in each is connected to a common directory on the host. when files appear in the cluster directory of one they are available in the other

they can be separate directories, but you need to sync them in some way

I've done it with syncthing across the net before and had it working on ASE with a friend

[gloomy trellis]

I shared the directory and boom. Fixed. Thanks man... just needed some guidance.

[radiant oracle]

Can someone please tell me the line for enabling hardcore mode?

[fossil onyx]

Whats the deal with the likes of Games, Glam, and Guns (Sample), is this a mod you only load on a client or on the server side to unlock the skins for players?

[native wave]

@fossil onyx that's a client side mod...anything with skins for players or structures will be client side unless it includes stuff the server has to load, such as the dear jane mod...which has explorer notes it loads for players to find.

[fossil onyx]

Makes sense, i had ended up loading it on the server the day it came out and forgot about it. Until today that is when i finally took each mod off 1 by 1 to figure out which was killing my servers on start up.

[feral osprey]

i currently run a nitrado server where i recently put ark omega premium mod and i play asa using game pass on pc i opened the game try to join my server it tells me i need to buy a the omega mod so i do that and i have the confirmation email but when i go back into the game it still asks me to buy the mod instead of installing what i paid for and letting me join my server any suggestions on how to fix this ?

[proud perch]

Anyone else have a hosted server and only getting like 3-4 wyvern spawns total in the trench...? i remember on old ASE SE there use to be atleast 12-15wyvs

i tried 1.0 1.2 and 1.5 total spawns

[peak sapphire]

Did you buy the premium mod through the Microsoft store?

[feral osprey]

I bought it from my browser that opened from in game i tried to join my server and it asked me to by the mod so i clicked the button that opened chrome and then redirected me

[lunar cloud]

this is the same on my server and I've noticed the same on a few Livestreams I've watched

[peak sapphire]

I only asked because you’re using the PC gamepass version. Premium mods aren’t available for Xbox users yet because it’s going through Microsoft certification, so I would have thought it would be the same for PC gamepass users. My guess would be the mod version you bought has compatibility issues with the PC gamepass version if it wasn’t bought through the Microsoft store.

[compact forge]

Hetzner users here? 🙂 I could need some helping with ports opening

[short eagle]

okay so setting it to read-only was the key, but it's not stopping the items from appearing in loot crates. Any way to do that via ini, or does that need a mod?

[gritty raptor]

Is there a way to disable dinos dropping their souls for revival?

[rain drum]

So I having a problem. Me and my sister are trying to play ark together. But Everytime I try to join her and vice versa on a non dedicated server it keeps timing out

[bleak ivy]

non-dedi does that, gotta keep trying.
restarting the game and joining a server first then trying the non-dedi can help.

[rain drum]

Thx for the advice I'll try that

[alpine mountain]

Updated my unofficial server to 39.32 and everything was wiped except for my character. Anybody else get this issue?

[rain drum]

If my sister uses her hotspot would it connect properly?

[silk python]

does anyone know why you have to always move your game before playing it? like i have it installed but i always have to transfer my data before every single session. I have no idea what its cause is. it always takes an hour to play ASA sadly

[bleak ivy]

what do you mean? LAN should be the best. not sure if it actually helps tho.

[rain drum]

I was wondering if it was because we were on the same Internet that it wasn't working

[bleak ivy]

nah, that shouldn't cause anymore issues. its just non-dedi sucks

[rain drum]

Ah ok

That sucks Majorly.

[rain drum]

How many tries on average does it take for it to connect

[bleak ivy]

OH, right. try to join off the friendslist if you can, not sure if playstation ark can do that.

that worked for me on xbox when I was doing tether testing.

[rain drum]

What i been doing the whole time because I couldn't find the server in the list

[bleak ivy]

tried invites too?

[rain drum]

Yup

Also I use ase since i don't have a second PS5

[bleak ivy]

you are both on ASE right?

[rain drum]

Yeah

After almost a hour of trying I'm giving up

[cobalt girder]

Hello!

So I’ve been playing on an unofficial server on SE since its launch and up until recently I can’t find it. The servers up to date and it turns out for whatever reason the servers name was changed to ARK with a random number. It was changed back to its intended name but I still can’t find it. Was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and if they’ve managed to fix it. Thanks!

[peak sapphire]

The save has corrupted and wiped everything. Restore a backup as close to just before you noticed it first go missing.

[last hollow]

I am noticing a lot of people with Nitrado servers are having similar issues. Additionally, our server version is ahead of the most recent console version...

[peak sapphire]

I legitimately blame early access for that because it’s happened twice to me now on ASA but only a couple times over several years on ASE. To your second point, the server version will likely always be ahead of the client version, as long as the major version is the same it’s usually all good.

[last hollow]

This is the first time we've had an issue like this with the server, especially the shenanigans like it renaming itself.

[bleak ivy]

thats a nitrado issue, nitrado doesn't like to change settings gotta, turn off the server wait 5 minutes, make change, wait 5 minutes, start server.

[worn fractal]

Hi I am having an issue with nitrado setting.

I select the wipe dinos on restart check box, but no dinos are not wiped with he nightly reset and it gets unchecked.

[last hollow]

We've done several restarts. However my server renamed itself...

[bleak ivy]

did you wait 5 minutes before and after you changed it?

[peak sapphire]

That’s not the issue. The server wipes

[last hollow]

Last night a wee bit longer (because I honestly forgot about it).

[bleak ivy]

they said it renamed itself not wiped. if its wiping then the server probably isn't saving at all or a mod is messing something up.

[last hollow]

I didn't even consider the mods.

[peak sapphire]

Either way, from my experience the server has wiped each time it’s happened, not just renamed. Like all the config settings reset not just the map name.

[last hollow]

The rest of my settings appear to be correct

Mostly trying to remain optimistic, lol

[peak sapphire]

Your fortunate then. I have to redo everything every time.

[bleak ivy]

probably should talk to nitrado support then. if everything is resetting then its nitrado that is having issues.

[worn fractal]

Thank you will give it a shot tonight

[peak sapphire]

That’s not really a Nitrado issue as such. ASA removed an ini setting from ASE that could bypass the tickbox on Nitrado and wipe dinos on restart every time without manually stopping the server.

[bleak ivy]

what do you mean by this? the -ForceRespawnDinos commandline was removed?

the wiki says it still exists.

[peak sapphire]

ServerAutoForceRespawnWildDinosInterval=<value> doesn’t work on ASA. I used that on ASE on Nitrado to bypass having to manually stop the server and tick the ForceRespawnDinos box

[bleak ivy]

hmm, the wiki has a ? for that. if you are manually doing it then just run the destroywilddinos command tho.

[peak sapphire]

I’m just saying what worked on ASE for Nitrado doesn’t work on ASA. I got around it on ASA by installing the Automated Dinowipes mod. Works better than the ini ever did because you can customise what gets wiped and schedule them too.

[bleak ivy]

it probably isn't in ASA. that mod sounds better anyway tho.

not all of them were carried over

[peak sapphire]

It’s weird that it’s not. It worked a charm on ASE but then we didn’t have mods on console so we took what we had. This mod even has an option to wipe nest eggs, it’s great.

[olive talon]

That sounds like a mod worth looking into, thank you

[narrow bane]

Does anybody know what the official server settings are so that my server can have the same settings and not be boosted

Is it just default? ?

[olive talon]

Just default, unless you specifically want pve/pvp and flyers carrying wilds.

[narrow bane]

PvP server settings

[olive talon]

Just go through the settings then and check pvp. Turn off/on autodecay if you want that, etc.

[narrow bane]

Ok thanks

[pseudo saddle]

What's the best way to do a cluster, when the transfer server don't show up to transfer to, they are both on the same server, running ports 7777,7779 query 27105, 27017

a little bit of info also, we can connect to the island map using IP:port with no issues, but never see it in the server list, and if trying to transfer the other map server isn't there

this is on the local LAN also not across the internet

[fierce citrus]

Does anyone know how to change the maximum number of generators you can have, we have a pretty massive base, and already have 3 and we're trying to get a 4th one going, I don't see the option in Game.ini or in gameusersettings.ini, I added limitgeneratornumber=0 and limitgeneratorrange=100 in my game.ini but it didn't work

If that's the wrong command lines then I blame the internet lol

[bleak ivy]

are you on ASE or ASA?

[bleak ivy]

try LimitGeneratorsNum instead.
but otherwise there is a mod that adds boosters you can use instead.

also remember the S in generators

[fierce citrus]

@bleak ivy yea I figured that out on reddit, just me being a dumba**

[pseudo saddle]

ASA

@bleak ivy ASA, running on R710 running windows server 2019

Both my wife and I can connect to the Island map which is what we started on but can only connect if we start ark hit ` and run the open LAN IP:port to connect

[bleak ivy]

not sure, I run my server on a PC instead of a an actual server.
I can even transfer on lan which never worked on ASE.

[pseudo saddle]

Both servers are up and running, what's odd is I never had this issue with ASE, I had I think 3-4 up and running and could transfer with no issues across the LAN

The only changes were I was running Server 2012, but had to upgrade to 2019 with palworld, etc requiring the newer server version OS

and a new ISP, which should not impact the LAN connections at all

all ports are forwarded on the server and also the router since I did have friends that would connect from outside before with ASE

I could not see the server at all or connect till I ran that one command for certs that seemed to at least fix where we can connect to the server with that IP:port command now but still having issues

I had the server given to me from a friend that I used to work with, so I figured might as well put it to use lol

[stable hedge]

what is the proper format for multiple mods after -modid=?

[bleak ivy]

id,id,id like -mods=928597,942024,928708 (those are just 3 mods I use, don't remember which)

[stable hedge]

thanks.

[narrow bane]

Is there a way to reset server back to default settings still?

I remember there used to be red button that said restore default settings or something like that.

Never mind didn’t save it so I got them back

[lost oxide]

anyone have a link that recommends setting changes for 7900xtx? I'm crashing on low settings in a non-dedicated game.

[narrow bane]

This might sound like dumb Question to turn off prevent offline pvp do I just uncheck the box or does it being checked mean disabled

[oblique fable]

ok random question is it possible to turn off the pick up function of certain building parts?

like a ceiling or something like that

[humble thicket]

No

[oblique fable]

damn

[gloomy trellis]

ASE: Is there anyway at all to allow decay on PVE but NOT ALLOW players to destroy structures or claim dinos at the timers end?

I seriously do not understand on PVE why it allows dinos to be claimed or bases to be destroyed... when the structures are auto deleted when server resets anyway.

[narrow bane]

How do you enable single player settings on the server?

[gloomy trellis]

Should be.... bUseSingleplayerSettings=True Game INI

[narrow bane]

Thanks I will try it

[narrow bane]

Been trying to set this up for a couple hours now

My new server

Taking to long

But it’s worth it

[gloomy trellis]

Well I hope it helps. I do not use the singleplayersettings but I happen to be in my files, so I figured I'd try to help

[narrow bane]

I’m using controller so I can’t just copy and paste a lot thanks for help

[gloomy trellis]

Wait a min. You are using a controller to what?

[narrow bane]

I’m on Xbox so I can’t use a keyboard or mouse to set the server up have to type with controller

[gloomy trellis]

like via the nitrado website?

[narrow bane]

Yes

[gloomy trellis]

WOW.... that is wild lol Good luck for sure

[narrow bane]

Can’t you host your own on PC??

[gloomy trellis]

I have a WINDOWS/XBOX server on ASE... have to use nitrado

I have COMPLETE crossplay ASA server.

[narrow bane]

I’m on asa

[gloomy trellis]

ASA much easier to deal with for sure 🙂

but the fact you are still trying to code up the server via the web on xbox is wild... you do not have any pc or phone at all?

[narrow bane]

I’m on my phone right now in discord

[gloomy trellis]

I would suggest using the phone to code in... ive never done it but seems it would be a little better.

[narrow bane]

I’m almost done though

Pretty sure

I want to boost the weight for players and Dino’s I think

[narrow bane]

Do you know how to set max dinos per tribe 250 is kind of low

Any know how to set max Dino’s tamed for a tribe

And boost weight for dino and players

Those are the last things I need to finish server

[native wave]

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=1.0
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=1.0
set the 1.0 to whatever you want for weight...in the game.ini

as for tame limit....there's a server wide and a personal in gameusersettings.ini
MaxTamedDinos
MaxPersonalTamedDinos
also
MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit
and with that
DestroyTamesOverTheSoftTameLimit
MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit_CountdownForDeletionDuration
"Dinos above the Soft Tame Server Limit will be marked “For Cryo” and display an icon and a timer indicating how soon they need to be cryopodded before they are automatically destroyed. Dinos marked and dinos destroyed by this system will be logged in the tribe log. This differs from the standard tame limit, as it still allows new players to join servers and tame creatures above the 5000 limit, whereas previously, they would not have been able to tame or breed creatures at the server cap. You can define the soft tame limit with MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit. You can define the time (in seconds) before tame's autodestruction with MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit_CountdownForDeletionDuration."

I haven't found one per tribe though

@narrow bane

[spare raft]

Hi, I wanted your help to configure my server (again)...
I would like to extend the time before destroying structures is possible in PVE.

Also some clever kids have fun leaving their dinos in reproduction 24 hours a day... I would like to increase the difficulty so that if they don't take care of them they don't become adults. (I don't know if it's clear :D)
"MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.025
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=30.00
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=20.00
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.02"

[distant hearth]

PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1

Specifies the scaling factor for structures decay times, e.g.: setting it at 2.0 will double all structure decay times, while setting at 0.5 will halve the timers

As for the dino issue you have couple choices, either increase baby food consumption rate , or increase overall maturation rate.
use the beacon ark omni app, the free version will allow you to setup breeding mutip-liers an see the effect on each dino, much easier

[distant hearth]

maxpersonaltameddinos=250

find that line and change it 500 to double the tribe tame limit

[spare raft]

Thx 😄

in game.ini or GameUserSetting.ini ?

[distant hearth]

gameusersetting.ini if its there already, change it,

server configs and there locations can be found here,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[drowsy current]

(ARK Survival Evolved) yall know how to configure Dino Storage V2 to be only accessible only at whatever level cryopods unlock at? Also, do yall know some great mods that I can add in a Lost Island playthrough? thanks!

[fallow drift]

What do i do if im kicked from a server and it tells me stop your low-level double opening behavior

[young stream]

Anybody having an issue where everytime you add a mod it puts server in a restart loop and when you go to remove said mod again server is still doing the restart loop?

It’s rather annoying ☠️

My settings have not been messed with at all, all we did was add a mod and it did it (assuming it was a bad mod) I removed it server kept restarting in a loop and now I have to do a backup each time I try to add a mod bc now every mod I add causes the server to be in a restart loop even after I remove it

[agile magnet]

Guys how do i hatch eggs? I tried to put them close to a fire it didnt work

[dire sundial]

So, I have ran my own dedicated ASE servers in the past. Used to work fine. I try setting up an ASA Island/Scorched cluster. I can connect directly using ip:port address in the command window from main menu. Battlemetrics sees the server online. Servers do not show up in server list in game. I cannot add servers to favorites via ip in steam. I cannot connect to servers over wifi on local network. I cannot connect to servers over WAN.

I have contacted my ISP, no help. They do not block ports or use a Carrier Grade NAT. I contacted Netgear and they helped me troubleshoot for around two hours, trying to find an issue in router settings to no avail.

I have done everything as I should including setting up firewall rules. Is there a guru here that can help me?

[distant hearth]

i think you wont be able to add favourite in steam as asa now uses eos , epic online services, not steam for servers .

asa servers are kinda fussy about there commandlines, sometimes things work some times dont, alot the servers i see are using either wrong or outdated commands .

start simple , use simple commands and see where u get at , a classic example is ?port=xxxx wont always work, -port=xxxx always seems to work .

so alot people think there server is running xxxx port they set but in fact its just running default ports.

maybe share start commandline if u want, just xxxxx any data u dont want to share

[dire sundial]

Stand by

[distant hearth]

an example of my start that i know works ,
Start C:\arkserver1\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willzlaptop" -port=8888 -winlivemaxplayers=10 -nobattleye -clusterid="willzlaptop" -clusterdiroverride=c:\asacluster

[dire sundial]

startisland.bat:

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=Zoltan's_Island_10x?Port=7779?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=70?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -NoBattlEye -clusterid=cluster6969 -notransferfromfiltering

Startscorched.bat:

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?SessionName=Zoltan's_Scorched_10x?Port=7781?QueryPort=27016?MaxPlayers=70?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -NoBattlEye -clusterid=cluster6969 -notransferfromfiltering

[distant hearth]

check on battlemetrics ,see what actual port the servers are running, likely 7777 udp and 7778

i can rewrite the start commands for you or just tell u whats wrong

[dire sundial]

battlemetrics shows 7779 and 7781 as intended

I see the discrepancies and will make adjustments and get back to you

[distant hearth]

thats good then , its hit an miss if ?port= works

[dire sundial]

I notice you don't have ?listen

[distant hearth]

?listen not needed
?queryport not needed its a steam ase port
?maxplayers= is now changed to -winlivemaxplayers=
it defaults to 70 so leave it out if u want or add =10 etc respctivelevly for amount players u want ,
-notransferfromfiltering not needed if you have a clusterid set thats unique , yours sort of isnt

i always just use -port=xxxx as i never had that not work

[dire sundial]

so both servers in the cluster just need 27015 forwarded for query?

[distant hearth]

no they dont need it at all, the query port was for ase steam servers, asa runs on eos , they only need a udp forwarded that is set with ?port= or mostly -port=
luckily ?port= works for you , it wont for a lot people, especially if there on home versions of windows

[dire sundial]

I'm going to change it anyway, does ASA use peer ports as ASE did? eg. port listed at 7777 but forwarded ports required were 7777 and 7778

[distant hearth]

not as far as i know , i run mine on 7777 island, 7778 scorched, 7779 svart , no issues

[dire sundial]

10-4

New command line for island:

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Zoltan's Island 10x"?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -port=7779 -NoBattlEye -clusterid=cluster6969 -notransferfromfiltering

Server's now appear on server list with "show player servers" checked

[distant hearth]

yea i dunno why there so fussy but they are, they run but not fully it seems sometimes

u will also want to use a clusterdiroverride shared folder, if your running them from two seperate .exe

[dire sundial]

Attempting to connect via WAN rn. Connection over wifi resulted in timeout error

Sorry, by wifi I mean WLAN

[distant hearth]

ughh, i cant really help with that soz, im terrible at networking. i just know they need what ever port u set with -port=xxxx forwarded through the inbound firewall on computer and through the router/what ever between you and internet

edit , must be forwarded udp

[dire sundial]

Joining failed connection timeout.

If you would like to try to connect to see if it works on your end that would help lol.

Can search "Zoltan" and toggle player server check. Or 73.203.16.140:7779

[distant hearth]

yea will try incase its loopback issue, gimme sec

[dire sundial]

I have a loopback adapter set up on the desktop running the server. I do not have it setup on the laptop

[distant hearth]

i get timeout error on both servers, its always been a port forward issue for me in the past when i seen that .
double check the port you are using for each server is forwarded in udp
firewall and router

[dire sundial]

Alright let me check the firewall rules

[distant hearth]

i do them inbound and outbound, but i think they only need inbound tbh

when i first install and run a server it also asks me if i want to allow the arkascendedserver.exe through, i always say yes, not sure if thats important or not if specifying ports .
i will have to test next time i have free time if saying no messes it up

[dire sundial]

There was a rule that was blocking it for some reason.

[mental narwhal]

What is the Tamed max level fire wyvern spawn command? I had a crash and lost several Dino’s, including my insane wyvern

[dire sundial]

Trying again

[distant hearth]

[mental narwhal]

Ok ty

[mental narwhal]

Is that with the imprint bonus?

[distant hearth]

doubt it , but not sure

[mental narwhal]

I had a level 260 I think imprinted it

I will see how to imprint as adult too

[distant hearth]

yea u wud have to goole it, i dont think its possible to imprint on a spawned adult

[dire sundial]

@distant hearth It appears to be working now if you would like to try to connect again

[distant hearth]

yea ure good now, i just joined to check, both servers are fine 🙂

if u get stuck clustering them, ask in here , but likely u will need shared folder

[native wave]

Absolutely need a shared folder for clustering

[distant hearth]

not if running off same .exe install location

[dire sundial]

They are clustered already, I checked to see if transferring worked last night

But yeah, there was that mysterious blocking rule that I deleted and I the exception I made earlier was different from troubleshooting. Thanks for your help.

[distant hearth]

your welcome happy arking

[mental narwhal]

Is there a command to do that

[stone crypt]

anyone know how to allow i-variants on a map in my cluster w/out having the i-variants mod on all my maps?

I should have the ports forwarded properly... but that's not the issue. It's not even starting the server properly it seems.

[lunar cloud]

if the batch terminal is not closing and you can see the server in task manager (windows) or top (Linux) and you see Number of cores in log, it generally is running
If you cant see the server in game its either a filter wrong on the client, or your ports are getting blocked. You should see it on the battle metrics website which is useful to test listings

[golden nest]

Also, with how you've setup your password, it's making the Server Password : -----?ServerAdminPassword=----?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20

Because you've specified the password as everything after it. Use: ?ServerPassword="Password"?

So either move your password to the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] or change the formatting within the command line args.

[lunar cloud]

If you cant see it in listings its a networking, generally a port issue

Remove the server password from your command line arguments to the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] as I've stated, if you go to that file you will see everything after your password is written there. So It's not even applying the network configs you've specified

[timber pelican]

It doesn't get to the point it MAKES a GameUserSettings.ini

Wait, no.

Im dumb. Okay. How to transfer said lines? IE, under which header

[lunar cloud]

no it doesn't log anything else except for garbage collection or hiccups, on ASE and ASE, that log generally mens the process is running. So its not crashing or stopping.
But its known if your comman line formatting is wrong, the server can prevent the network portz from listening
So important to wrap strings in quotes, like passwords and more importantly, session name.
In your startup, add quotes around it. if using a bat or PowerShell script you may need to escape it like SessionName= \"Revival\" etc
In your commandline in log you can see there are no quotes around those and its a known bug that the server fails to listen on ports if those are incorrectly parsed

[golden nest]

ShooterGame>Saved>config>WindowsServer>GameUserSettings.ini

Then find ServerPassword= in there, make the password what you want, then remove the ?ServerPassword=? entirely from your bat file

[timber pelican]

I as kunder what header BECAUSE it's not in there by default.

[golden nest]

.... [ServerSettings] as I've said...

[timber pelican]

You did not.

Or.. .nevermind. I missed it. Apologies.

I'm just annoyed right now. Thank you for the help.

I don't know why it's not writing the settings to the .ini

[golden nest]

Server setup is annoying, it's all a big step by step process

[timber pelican]

I've only ever done server hosting for Ark through third party hosts for #30 a month, hah.

[golden nest]

I'll see if I can't find ya a preconfigured bat file

[timber pelican]

Wheee... I got it to show up. Invalid Authentication Token

It also lists the map as "ShooterEntry"

[golden nest]

If that's the case, change your query port to 27016 instead. Your steam Client automatically uses 27015, so if your game and your server are on the same query port within the same machine then you'll have that issue They're separate machines

[timber pelican]

Alright, I'll give that a shot.

Still invalid. Steam is not running on the pc attempting to host. (Two seperate PCs)

[golden nest]

Hmm. My final solution would be to disable the Firewall on the hosting PC and see if that fixes the problem, could be a blocked port or program.

I've never once seen an invalid authentication token error before, something isn't right

[timber pelican]

I'd forgotten to tell Norton to piss off with its firewall, but even then when turning it and windows defender off it still errored

I'm getting a connection timeout error a bit after the invalid token error.

I Just tried flushing the DNS cache

[golden nest]

You can always attempt to disable BattlEye by putting "-NoBattlEye" without quotes at the end of the batch file and seeing if that has any affect

[timber pelican]

wait... That might do it.

Nope. Still errors, but that was a possibility at least

[bleak ivy]

question, isn't it aberration?

[golden nest]

I'm officially out of ideas then. If the ports are forwarded, not blocked by a firewall, battlEye is disabled, and the bat file is configured properly then by all means it should work

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure the map is called Aberration_P not Abberation_P

[timber pelican]

... This probably will help. I'm a dumb and mistyped it 😄

[golden nest]

Okay that's pretty hilarious, I thought it was originally Aberration_WP, and missed the mispelling of Aberration after verifying it wasn't _WP

[bleak ivy]

I always spell it wrong so I often check lol

[timber pelican]

Okay. I got a lot more "working" buuut... the -noBattlEye code did not work

Commandline: "Aberration_P?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?-NoBattlEye"

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure both battle and eye have an e

[golden nest]

Needs a space between the ? and the -

[bleak ivy]

okay nah it doesn't. its just the space

[timber pelican]

Alright, seems we're finally in business!

anyone have any idea why after two weeks my gameusersettings on my hosted server got reset to complete default..?

[eager patrol]

Hi, while working on my server today I suddenly cannot see items inside anything else's inventory but myself, if I try to move an item it also disapears. From what I can tell it's not affecting the other members in my tribe but I can't see anything, even engrams in crafting stations.

Anybody know this or how to fix?

[burnt seal]

Do i need to port-forward to host a dedicated server for me and my friends to play on

[bleak ivy]

if you are on the same network no, if you aren't then yes.
there are ways to go around it like what hamachi did. (not sure if thats still a thing)
zero-tier is one that works, its kinda confusing tho.

[fair finch]

hey so i'm trying to configure my cryopods and chambers and such to cost less to craft, but i'm having issues getting it to work. can someone tell me if this line is correct? and which ini to stick it in?

• ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=ItemClassString="PrimalItem_WeaponEmptyCryopod_Mod_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Thatch_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)

[native wave]

no I don't think so, give me a second and I'll post what it should be

[fair finch]

thanks

[native wave]

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItem_WeaponEmptyCryopod_Mod_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Thatch_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

I think that goes in game.ini

[fair finch]

ty i'll put that in and pray lol

[native wave]

my understanding is you want to set the crafting requirement to 10 thatch only right?

[fair finch]

yes

[fair finch]

😦 it didnt work

[native wave]

double check those quoted strings, if it's not that, then likely there's bugginess with adding that command. It should be in game.ini and the formatting of that command I posted is correct (triple checked it against the wiki entry for the command)

in game.ini under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]

that's where I have my overrides for item max quantity to increase stack sizes of items

[humble thicket]

A friend of mine has been having issues joining my un-offcial ARK Survival Evolved server she has tried joining through its IP via Game Server in steam but to no uveal, at this point i could use some ideas on how she can join. though i might have run out of soultions....

let me know with a ping if anyone has any tips for my friend to try

[native wave]

Does the server show up in the steam server browser?

And how do you have it hosted? Your own machine, cloud provider, nitrado?

[humble thicket]

its hosted Via Scala Cube

[native wave]

can you answer my other question please?

[humble thicket]

it does not show up when i search it in the game servers bar where it says server name. the name of my un-official ARK Survival Evloved server is : DawnOfTheAges[DOTA] ARK server

[native wave]

you enter the ip and query port correct?

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx

[humble thicket]

yes i did

[native wave]

then it sounds like you do not have ports forwarded to your server correctly

[humble thicket]

but it does show in my favorites when i added it

for the first time

[native wave]

can you play on the server?

[humble thicket]

yes i can

[delicate smelt]

whats the easiest way to setup a dedicated with single player settings? I only play with a couple of mates on a private server, and we do our own thing, so single player settings seems like a more enjoyable experience

[humble thicket]

been playing on it for a while now

[native wave]

it's possible the location where the server is, is not accessible for your friend

[humble thicket]

ahh...okay i'll see if i can change the location via Server panel

[native wave]

yeah, try a different location for the server....might help her to connect

looks like they have plenty of locations around the world

[native wave]

ASA or ASE?

[delicate smelt]

ASA

[native wave]

easiest would be nitrado...but it's not the best. Setting up for single player settings just requires using bUseSingleplayerSettings=True that would be done through the nitrado interface. There are other options other than nitrado though, but you would have to set it up yourself

[delicate smelt]

yeah I've a dedicated server non nitrado

[native wave]

bUseSinglePlayerSettings would be placed in your game.ini

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

[delicate smelt]

would that be as good as "Small Tribe" server settings? Are they the same

small tribe seems to be:
4.5x XP, Harvesting, and Taming.
4x Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation).
0.5x Mating Interval.
1.5x Hexagon Bonus.

not sure what single player is

[native wave]

you'd have to setup your ini's to be like small tribe if that's what you want

[delicate smelt]

yeah, is there a wiki for that do you know please?

for all the settings I mean

[native wave]

linked the appropriate wiki page above

has everything you can configure and what ini it needs to go into. also has information on what settings do or do not work for ASA vs ASE

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

[delicate smelt]

ok but there is no .ini I can download that saves me having to work out each one? 😄

[native wave]

check out beacon in the pinned comments, it can help you write the ini's

[delicate smelt]

thanks - really appreciate the help

[native wave]

Anyone have good settings for imprint interval/growth time for babies? we have things set up but getting timing for that is hard when we dont want long wait times as everyone has jobs

[summer saddle]

Our nitrado server isn't showing up in the unofficial list, we have both Xbox and steam players who for the last few days can't find the server in the list. Everything appears OK on the nitrado site - what else should I trouble shoot or try and restart a few more times?

[restive pebble]

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=8
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=0.125

8x mature speed
1/8th eat speed so they aren't hungry hungry hippos

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=62.5
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.002083333

Imprint every minute, but total number of imprints is baseline + 0 or 1 (due to rounding).
For example a Dilo normally takes 2 imprints, but with these settings they may take 3 due to rounding.
What this allows for is doing all your imprinting back to back easily. You can spend 5 minutes fully imprinting your dilo at the start, or an hour in, or just before it's fully grown.

Does the Tamed Dino food drain setting work?

I have the Dino food drain set to 1, and added wild Dino food drain multiplier to 2, (game user ini) and seems that the Dino food drain is overwriting it. Or is Dododex Dino food drain multiplier different than the wild Dino one when I enter it?

[olive talon]

Oh item stacks lol I thought you meant the player slot cap, which is not changeable.

Change them like this-

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=10000, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))`

[burnt seal]

do i have to do that with every item?

[olive talon]

Only for items that do not stack, like prime meat and honey, and mutton etc.

For the rest you can use this, just change the number after testing ingame to see what it multiplies to-

ItemStackSizeMultiplier=3

[jaunty vortex]

Can’t overstate the usefulness of this. You can easily scan down the lists to make sure 100% tames are possible with your settings.

[last hollow]

@peak sapphire and @bleak ivy thank you for your help when we were having server issues. I just wanted to comment in case someone else was having similar issues as us last night (server not showing up, name changed randomly) that we put in a ticket with Nitrando and they sorted it within 24 hours with no data lost for us.

[burnt seal]

whats the diffrence between "Gameserversettings.ini" and game.ini

[bleak ivy]

they are different files that do different settings.

[burnt seal]

The mod files arent showing up in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods to add them to my server

[short eagle]

Event ended a few weeks ago.

[bleak ivy]

your server will download the files when you tell it what mods to run in the bat file.

[cloud shoal]

I know that the official server has ended the event, but does that mean the unofficial server is ending at the same time?

[short eagle]

from what I can gather, the launch setting was set to stop working when the event ended

[burnt seal]

why are all the dinos in my server soo low level

[oblique fable]

Hey all i was wondering if there was a location for mod engrams in ini files?

[gritty raptor]

on my server imprinting takes 8 hours per, how do i lover this? my setting is BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0001

Hey so I have an issue here. I have been trying to rent a server for hours and I'm stuck in numerous endless loops. On the app I click to recharge, I select the amount and then I have no more options... so no card details from me then. Nitrado do you want my money or not???
On the website (on mobile using desktop site) I click to recharge and I asks for log in. After that it wants some details such as my name. The confirm button t the bottom does nothing. Again, nitrado, do you even want my money?? What a terrible website and app.
When I click on support it asks me to log in. After that it tells me to log in. After that it tells me to log in. After it tells me to log in. After that....you get the picture

[distant hearth]

best to try the nitrado discord or there support, not something anyone here can help with

use thar ark beacon omni app/program, the free version lets you chamnge each setting untill u figure out exactly how u want it(shows the effect of each setting on all the dinos)

[raven tinsel]

Yeah I’ll try that then hopefully they will come to handy and help out at least…

Has anyone had an issue loading the Winter Wonderland mod and having baby abominable snowmen spawn? It's allowing me to claim them after killing the parent and I don't think it's supposed to happen

[thick adder]

How do you tell the difference between "Premium" and normal mods? I have regretfully rented a Nitrado server and I can't tell them apart. I had finished assembling my load-order and server configurations to introduce a few friends to Ark for the first time and while attempting to launch and test the server stability it immediately asked me for 20$ on top of the 80$ I dropped to rent the sever. I'd like to deselect the paid mods as I won't ask my friends to fork up 100$ just to play with me but I cannot for the life of me tell them apart. I'd REALLY like to avoid having to shut down/relaunch the server/game for each individual mod. Any tips?

I've been at this since noon and would just like to play with my friends.

[bleak ivy]

best to check ingame to see. I don't see any filtering on the website anyway

[thick adder]

I have the game loaded and on "Join" you are prompted with "1 x $1 Mods : Total $20". No clear distention across Nitrado, CursedForge or the game.

[bleak ivy]

what mods are you using? you have to check the mod browser ingame. when joining a server it should also tell you the mods. should have a crown over it.

[thick adder]

The crown only appears over the server name. Not any mod specifically, I can get you a list if you'd like but I'd hate to inconvenience anyone with my issues. Is there a website I can use to cross reference them myself?

[bleak ivy]

I can't find anything on the curseforge website there aren't many

just post them I'll check.

[median axle]

currently trying to figure out how to decrease the creature care timer. no matter what ive changed its always 24 hours. we do not want to wait 24 hours for creatures to grow up. especially if we want to imprint them. using nitrado.

[distant hearth]

the best thing for breeding settings is ark beacon omni app/program ,
use it to configure the breeding exactly how u want, it tells u what each setting does and shows the effect on every dino if u change it .
once u have the settings how u want , stop server, wait 5 mins, change them in your game.ini , save settings , restart server .
Be aware it only affects new eggs /babies born into the world, any old ones in the world will still have the old settings

[median axle]

huh

as i said we are using nitrado so i have no idea how this transfers over to their weird. website interface.

[distant hearth]

i just explained how to do it , you will have to use nitrado guides or google to figure it out if none of that made sense

[peak sapphire]

Once you’ve set up using the beacon app, it gives you the option to post the configuration lines, you then copy and paste the config directly to Nitrado on the game.ini page found in settings>config files>game.ini

[median axle]

i dont want to download an app to manage a server...

[distant hearth]

all server settings are found here if u want to do it manually , its hard to work out the times for breeding though
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[jaunty vortex]

You can do it the hard way and struggle to calculate the settings that keep 100% tames or you can use Beacon. The free version will do what you want.

I’d go with the easy option.

[median axle]

okay yes but what setting in the nitrado settings even affects the timer for that.... thats all i need at this point

because nitrado is not showing it to me in its own settings panel

[jaunty vortex]

There’s several affect taming and mature speeds. And they go in game.ini and gameusersettings.ini

What W1llz said is correct.

[peak sapphire]

You don’t have to. I made my own database to calculate breeding/imprinting settings through internal testing. I’ve only ever used beacon for dino loot tables, everything else I manage manually through the wiki server settings. Beacon just does it for you, it’s an invaluable tool.

[tidal arrow]

can anyone help me make a dedicated server in ark for me and my friends tried but we are very confused we bought the game but havent played it so it would be a waste if we dont play it

[chilly moss]

Hello Guys. i put this command in game.ini its that right?
[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesWater_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="SPINO",EntryWeight=10.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Spino_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Spino_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.000000)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesMountain_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="REX",EntryWeight=10.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Rex_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Rex_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.000000)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesGreenDesert_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="CARCA",EntryWeight=1000.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Carcha_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Carcha_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesBadlands_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="GIGA",EntryWeight=1000.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gigant_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gigant_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))

i do the console commands destroywilddinos. but i don't see more spawn.

[native wave]

formatting is fine. Yes in the game.ini, but three things may impact their ability to spawn:

1. you may need the full blueprint path for each creature in both NPCsToSpawn and NPCClass for the Limits. So instead of just
   Gigant_Character_BP_Cput
   /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Giganotosaurus/Gigant_Character_BP.Gigant_Character_BP
   Basically if you go to the creature page on the wiki and look at the expanded spawn command...everything after 'Blueprint' in the quotes

2. you're missing two commands I had when I got Gigantoraptors to spawn on SE:

NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1),
ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500

I set the former to just control the percentage chance by the Entry Weight.
I set the latter so they are spread out a bit and are more randomly placed.

3. I took a shot in the dark on whether or not the Spawn Containers for SE would be the same for Canyons on ASA as ASE...luckily, it worked, it may or may not work for all the containers...YMMV. It would be good to report back on what Spawn containers actually work for ASA.

You'll probably need to modify the values of the entry weights....as those values you have are rather high. Look at the values for Scorched on the spawn entries page
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_entries#ARK:_Survival_Evolved-0
The highest you see is 1....such as for the Thyla in the Badlands. If you set it to something like 1000...you're basically not going to give any other creature a very high chance to spawn. I would bet with your settings you're going to have a lot of each of those creatures spawning....like a lot. More than you probably actually want.

[chilly moss]

thats right. i have more creature a loot.... but its right in the game.ini its the code to put?

[native wave]

yeah in the game.ini. I think the biggest thing stopping the spawns is not using the blueprint path. It would probably work for a creature that naturally spawns on SE, but not for creatures not native to SE. You have to give the blueprint path so it knows where to get the creature from

[chilly moss]

ah ok. i think i do with the command string complet. ''/game/primalearth/...''
i will try

[native wave]

spino, giga, and carcha are not native, so their blueprint paths would be:
/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Spino/Spino_Character_BP.Spino_Character_BP
/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Giganotosaurus/Gigant_Character_BP.Gigant_Character_BP
/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Carcharodontosaurus/Carcha_Character_BP.Carcha_Character_BP

[chilly moss]

in the command i put also "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Giganotosaurus/Gigant_Character_BP.Gigant_Character_BP'" right?

[native wave]

shouldn't need Blueprint and only one set of quotes

"/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Giganotosaurus/Gigant_Character_BP.Gigant_Character_BP"

[raven wigeon]

is it normal to loose all stuff when u kill the manticore on Se?

[olive talon]

Transfer everything to a dino before the fight timer ends.

[raven wigeon]

yeah, to late lol, lost all stuff

[olive talon]

Spawn it back in if it's your server. There's not a config to change it. Use #bobs-with-probs for general ingame questions, this channel is for setup help.

[chilly moss]

HEY BRO. I TRY RIGHT NOW. BUT DOSENT WORK. I DO 2 THE COMMAND DESTROYWILDDINOS

[native wave]

kill the capslock

[native wave]

#3 on my list will cause them not to spawn at all if those spawn containers don't work

YMMV = your mileage may vary....in other words, it may or may not work for you

[raven wigeon]

Yeah it's my dedicated sevrer, but i dont like to use admin powers to do stuff so ill just have to handle it lol

Hi there! In our cluster whenever we download from Island to SE, if nobody is already online, it will not automatically join the existing tribe. The tribe will only be joined on download when someone else is present at time of transfer. Is there a fix?

[clever tendon]

I am having Issues with breeding was breeding two rexes that have already been bred lvl 1000 and the child came out to be around 900 is there something I was doing wrong or coding wrong?

[native wave]

You can try using the spawn container I used for my gigantoraptor ini entry....just replace the NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString with "SE_DinoSpawnEntriesCanyons_C" for one of your entires. If it works the creature will start spawning in the central canyons of the map. I would just try it on one to see if you can get it added to that spawn container and have it spawn. I know that container works as I got gigantoraptors spawning on my SE for ASA

[chilly moss]

i try

[last lichen]

is there a way to arrange the mod load order for the nitrato asa servers?

[broken halo]

Us of Ark cluster if you wanna check it out is good

[distant hearth]

asfaik which ever ones u add to the server first in the list load first ,
if not then potentially using this in gus ini under [serversettings] will change the order
Activemods=modid,modid,modid,modid,etc,etc

@wispy ether

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

[solemn zephyr]

Highly suggest getting the app Beacon. You can dial in your breeding down to the second

[distant hearth]

this is what i try tell people , after 10 mins sussing it out, u can nail every setting for each individual .
ive used it for years an its so easy

[solemn zephyr]

Yessir, you and I tend to always be on the same page

It also makes mod managemenet 1000X easier

[distant hearth]

for couple years i struggled with breeding settings, they wud be ok, just not perfect.
i stubmled across it looking for info on customising drops, found the breeding settings part an fell in love haha ,
it has literally saved me days of my life an much less stress

[native wave]

I've been using the same breeding settings I created back when I started running my own servers around the time ragnarok became a dlc

[late estuary]

Is there an ini setting to make harvesting debris disappear faster?

[narrow thorn]

Any recommendations for Discord server status apps/bots ??

[fluid token]

has anyone allowed water intakes pipes anywhere like in old ark?

does any one know if that is a thing still in asa?

[limber atlas]

What you mean

[fluid token]

Like in ark survival evolved you used to be able to allow a water intake anywhere on the ground without water and it would work

[olive talon]

That was with the s+/ss/n+ mod, not without

[fluid token]

ohh riiight

[limber atlas]

Yeah wondering why I was confused lol

[fluid token]

ty ty im goignt o find somethign rn XD

[raven parcel]

If I am on PC, can I play Ascended with my friend on PlayStation ? if so, what are the specifics ? does it need to be a hosted server ? I tried on Evolved but apparently PlayStation can't crossplay there ??

Worse case scenario we can play evolved together on Switch but...no mods x.x

[peak sapphire]

Ascended is crossplay for every mode except non-dedicated

[raven parcel]

Even for PlayStation? I couldn't find the right answer online

[peak sapphire]

Yes. Full platform crossplay between Steam, Xbox series (+ Windows excluding official PvP), and PS5.

[raven parcel]

And I have to pay / host the server then ?

[peak sapphire]

Self-host is an option, Nitrado is the only renting provider but you can rent machines to self-host as an alt solution.

[raven parcel]

But to cross play it has to be a hosted server ?

[peak sapphire]

Dedicated server or official

[raven parcel]

Okay, thanks !

[last lichen]

thanks, I got them re ordered, I think. . . but I'm still having issues with the upgrade station items not being place able.. . 😮‍💨

[oak heron]

Anyone else having time out issues? My Nitrado server is green state and my server log shows some randoms playing but my regular PC and PS5 players can't get in?

[ornate oxide]

Helena bot

[jaunty vortex]

Looks like that’s only Nitrado, sadly. Or am I wrong?

[native wave]

nitrado only for now. site says they are working on Xbox integration next followed by PC servers

[ornate oxide]

Yeah I use it with nitrado

[near folio]

Hi there! In our cluster whenever we download from Island to SE, if nobody is already online, they will not automatically join the existing tribe even if previously invited. The tribe will only be rejoined on download when someone else is present at time of transfer. Is there a fix?

[native wave]

sounds like the tribe file isn't being updated correctly

check permissions of the file and if it can be written to

[marsh blaze]

How do I fix being stuck on the screen that says PrimalGameData_BP when i try to join a non dedicated server?

[narrow bane]

How to make baby Dino’s not take forever to want care

And growing up faster

Because they want imprint in like 4hrs and I want it sooner like 10 minutes or something

[lavish gulch]

Does anyone know a way to stop dinos from dropping death essence on servers. or to make it in a way that the time of its decay its almost instant, like a ini setting on nitrado or a way to just block them from dropping?

[native wave]

All in Game.ini
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier - multiplies the amount of imprint each imprint gives. Setting to 2 when it gives 10% would make it give 20%.
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier - lower = more frequent cuddles
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier - higher = faster baby growth

[native wave]

nothing I know of

[swift bridge]

Hey so I have a singleplayer save that I would love to use on my new dedicated server. I don't care much about the world but more so about the character. Does anyone know if I can upload a character on singleplayer then download it on my own server. I know you cannot by default but is there a setting for it?

[drowsy current]

Anybody know possible reasons why friends get lost connection on my dedicated server? Trying to see if I can do something about it, I've also read somewhere that it could be ARK's network disconnection doing its thing.

[native wave]

ASA or ASE?

[compact goblet]

On my cluster if I transfer servers and then exit before the world auto saves my character gets lost forever. Anyone else have this? Or have solutions?

[drowsy current]

in ASE

was hoping to identify the issue before we start again, they are busy right now so its perfect lol

[native wave]

So they can see the server in the server browser, but when they try to connect, they get lost connection? @drowsy current

[drowsy current]

They can play like normal but after awhile they just get disconnected randomly

[native wave]

that seems to be problems with their or your internet connection

[native wave]

is your connection to the server on the same network?

[drowsy current]

if it is then I can't fix it lol

I'm using playit.gg for portforwarding stuff

[native wave]

don't know how reliable that is

[daring lichen]

Anyone know why my taming would be back to official? It was on 25x for a week and today is official I have checked and retyped the code to make it 25x but still not working.

[native wave]

making the connection more complex than a standard server connection. bound to cause some issues

[drowsy current]

yeah it is what it is, I can't portforward here since ever isp is behind cgnat

I wish I could though, makes it easier for me to host servers for some friends

[celest halo]

Some ISPs that do cgnat will give you an IP that is not cgnat for more money a month, not sure how much or if you want to be giving them more money

[drowsy current]

Yeah I'm not about to do that lol

[celest halo]

Don't blame ya most charge to much as is

[gray tundra]

I have a question.. wonder if anybody has had the same problem or maybe knows a sollution.
When trying to stack Wyvern milk using:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
It doesn't seem to do anything.

[distant hearth]

yea theres a couple things asa wont stack, unsure why, maybe they changed the code slightly for it or it needs full blueprint path

[gray tundra]

So trial and error ? or you think there is a channel to get that answered with certainty ?

[distant hearth]

pretty much everything with asa has just been trial and error so far lolz
here or the ark beacon omni discord wud be the best place for answer i wud think

[sonic wasp]

heyy sorry i have a question, i play ark in epic games, how do i invite my friends to my non dedicated server?

[livid reef]

trying to set up my own cluster
issue occurs when i attempt to transfer
i get to see the map and it tells me to pick a spawn point, but when i click spawn survivor, the spawn button becomes downloading and gets stuck... i've tried restarting my client and both of the clustered servers. the cluster dir override and cluster IDs match between the two servers

clicking create new character allows me to click a button for respawn existing survivor, but doing that returns me to the map to select spawn point, but the spawn button says respawn (random location) but is disabled

[celest halo]

Both servers have read/write access to the dir you set

[livid reef]

they do

[celest halo]

Both servers on same computer? You check it's making a file in that folder when you try to transfer

[livid reef]

same one, yeah

the file is named my steamid

[celest halo]

Not sure then, only time I seen that problem was from when one of the servers could not read the file the other one put in the cluster dir

[livid reef]

i figured it out

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

no tribute was allowing the character to be seen but not downloaded

it was also preventing uploaded items from being downloaded

[celest halo]

Glad you figured it out, I forget all about them settings

[fathom jetty]

Im running a nitrado server for Scorched Earth and we are 107 days into the game map. Can someone help me and tell me what might be the reason that Wyverns arent spawning in the World Scar. Ive tried to restart the server and destroywilddinos command but nothing seems to be working

[robust sky]

Not sure if this is the place to ask about this, why are the water veins all over my scorched map “dried up”? Any water vein I approach just looks like a sandy pit and a well can’t be placed. I do know I can spawn in the vein using commands but maybe someone knows of a fix so I don’t have to respawn every single vein.

[eternal moss]

For anyone who has more than 3 people on their server willing to share their server settings with me? I would like to increase my server population

[rose frigate]

so, i have the vanilla cryopod deploy/capture range restriction turned off in my server, is there a way to remove/reduce the "this creature was recently injured and cannot be captured" timer?

[uncut nacelle]

I've had the hardest time getting mods working on my survival evolved server. I tried adding them manually, adding an argument to the batch file and setting active mods but nothing seems to work. Anyone know what to do?

[dim gale]

hi guys, im playing fjodur, i wanna increase the spawn rate of monsters inside all snow caves. is this the right way to write the code?

[ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer]
NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="what do i put here"
NPCSpawnLimits=(NPCClassString="wat do i put here", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=2.0)

so effectively this should double the spawn rate? am i right

[solid tide]

Is someone willing to pm me to help me out with the QOL mod? I'm having a hell of an issue just trying to get most of the engrams to show up 🤦‍♀️

[tidal cosmos]

Any way to give someone who lost their character on an unofficial all of their explorer notes back? (They had them all)

I heard that give max level is currently giving rockwell aswell on ASA, is that true? 😦

[solemn zephyr]

Sounds like you have "no tribute downloads " turned on. Which has this adverse effect

[rose frigate]

it's outdated and broken. use cybers structures instead. he's awesome and keeps the mod updated! also, yes, CS QOL is cross platform! 😁

[pseudo saddle]

Looks like the Rustic structure mod is broken, just tried logging into the server and all storages and doors from the mod are gone, tried restarting the server to see if an update but nothing that I could tell

[daring lichen]

Anyone know how to code to add more element to boss drops?

[fervent tree]

That's usually a mod loading issue. Check the server logs if it loads the mod actually. For good measure delete the mod folder on your server when it's shut down before starting again. That forces it to redownload all mods

[distant hearth]

beacon omni app/program makes it super easy, pretty sure free version can do that too iirc

[daring lichen]

Okay thank you @distant hearth

[wanton hinge]

You can try out my open source ascension bot that does tracking, chat logs, rcon control, etc. I can't post the github link in here though.

[deep flower]

Is anyone else having a problem with their server where players lose access to their characters and are forced to make a new one?

Deathworms aren’t dropping black pearls

Nvm it’s working, but it’s only like 6 black pearls. How do I ramp it up

[lunar plank]

If anyone can help, I'm struggling with joining my unofficial dedicated server...

I can connect to it using 127.0.0.1 on the hosting PC, but not with the local IP and not using another PC.
Port Forwarding is set to query port: 27017(BOTH) and port: 7777 (UDP)

The .bat set to: "C:\ArkServer\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=<funnyname>?ServerAdminPassword=<stuff>?ServerPassword:<stuff>?Port=7777?QueryPort=27017?MaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye"

I tried joining via console in the game using IP, using the server listing, and through Steam > Game Servers but it doesn't show up.

EDIT: I also allowed the game server through the firewall

What else can I troubleshoot?

[distant hearth]

asa only uses a udp port to connect and play , 7777 is default, this shud be forwarded through windows firewall, inbound, i do outbound too but prob not nesercary , any other antivirus software u might be using and through the router .

the start command for asa has changed a bit so u wud want ,
C:\ArkServer\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="<funnyname>"?ServerPassword="<stuff>"?ServerAdminPassword="<stuff>" -port=7777 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=32 -NoBattlEye

-port=7777 isnt needed really as defaults to 7777 but i left it there incase u ever want to change it in future is easy to do so . I wrap the server name an password in quotes as they will work then if they have spacs in them , will not work with spaces if no quotations. i also set the admin password as the last ?<commandhere> as othr wise it dont always work
Hope that helps

[peak sapphire]

Not sure if this will work on Deathworms (a buff is coming soon with next big patch anyway) but you could try the following line in the game.ini:

HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",Multiplier=2.0)

[lunar plank]

Unless I'm missing something, there's nothing really different about this, except removing "listen"

[distant hearth]

i removed ?listen and ?queryport
i set ?maxplayers to the correct asa form, -winlivemaxplayers=x
i moved the ?serveradminpassword to the correct location in the comand line and changed ?port=xxx to -port=xxxx

[lunar plank]

Wait, how would it know what port to use if you don't set queryport?

[distant hearth]

queryport is the old ase steam server port , asa uses eos and only needs udp port that is set via -port=xxxx

the queryport was just used for the ase server to connect to steam an show in server listings afaik

[lunar plank]

hmm. gonna try the changes now

[distant hearth]

mhmm sometimes just the quotes help, if you use a sever name with a space i.e
?sessionname=my ark server
wud not like it but
?sessionname="my ark server"
works 100% fine

[drowsy ocean]

On Xbox?

[wise kindle]

Works in every platform, unless you are console single player. If so, this is actually the wrong channel.

[radiant oracle]

Can anyone tell me the line for removing gamer tags from the floating text names so it’s only their characters name?

Also the line for making text chat local only please

[grim saffron]

Have you checked it’s the right ip have you ran ipconfig?

[humble thicket]

how do i play ark surv evolved modded with friends?

[dim gale]

hi guys, is there a mod that simulates raids? like i can set x amount of dinos to attack my tribe etc

[dim gale]

If not, another way - how can i make dinos ALWAYS aggro on me? Like via walls and stuff? Is there a mod for that or setting?

[native wave]

ServerPassword should have an = not a : after it @lunar plank

[mental garnet]

Hi.

[wintry vale]

Me and my friend are using a nondedicated server to play, when we tried to play abberation whenever we entered a new area it did the pull/teleport to host thing no matter the distance set between us. (Its the same way with caves on other maps. We both have to go since Ill be teleported anyway.) Does anyone know a way to fix that?

[distant hearth]

thx, i missed that

[distant hearth]

there is no fix, just the way non-dedicated is, it will drag each player into new loading zones

[tired basalt]

does anyone know why "ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Egg_IndominusRex_Fertilize",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="Seed_Test",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))" wouldnt work?

[native wave]

format looks good. Is "Seed_Test" a valid resource type string for that mod?

[finite jetty]

I'm not sure where else to take this, so if I'm in the wrong channel please say so.
Is there a way to override the difficulty level on ASE for the switch? I haven't been able to find anything online.
If you have an answer, please ping me, thanks!

[tired basalt]

its berrybush seeds i believe

[native wave]

Assuming those items are correct...should work. I can't say for sure as I have never played with that mod.

[lunar plank]

Thanks, it's running. The only issue I have now is that it's not asking for a password when folks log in. Any ideas?

[lunar plank]

Ooh, that might be the issue

[surreal grove]

hey i have a member in my server that hjas been playing for a long time at our server... he did log out yesterday on the Island after he transferd from SE. Today it says he need to make a new character... i can go in to the game and see him sleep in his bed. What can i do to help him. He is on Console

[native wave]

You can also setup a whitelist if you want...so your players don't need a password to connect (remove the server password if you do this)

[lunar plank]

That was the ticket, thanks. Yeah, setting up a password just seems slightly easier. I don't have a lot of players who play on my server, so nbd.

I'm still not entirely sure what got the server up and running last night, though. Apparently my buddy was able to join right before I shut it down to make the .bat changes that @distant hearth suggested.

[distant hearth]

sometime they can 5-10 mins to show up in the lists

[wise kindle]

Some of mine take 20 mins to pop up. I think they stand in front of the mirror like teenagers prepping for their first date.

[pallid kernel]

Hello, I have a problem on my ascended ARK server; I have stegosaurus statue-type creatures spawning everywhere on my maps, and I can't figure out which mod is causing this. Have you ever encountered this type of issue? Thank you.

[native wave]

Yeah time to boot up definitely increases as more stuff is built on the map

[native wave]

Take a backup of the server. Eliminate mods one by one to determine which which is causing it. Can do it without the backup but you might lose stuff.

[wintry vale]

We are unable to run a dedicated server since we each only have one pc. Is there another server type that could change that?

[distant hearth]

if one of the pc is good enough can play game and run server, just need learn how set it up , if not rent a server from nitrado(easiest option) or rent from anywhere and setup your self.
if one the pc has 32gb ram can setup a dedi on it .
plenty options just got do a bit research

[tired basalt]

"ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Egg_IndominusRex_Fertilize",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="ApexDrop_AlphaCrystalWyvern",BaseResourceRequirement=1,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))" I changed the item and it still has no effect

[native wave]

ASA or ASE? Wiki says there's no confirmation that works on ASA yet

of course, that doesn't mean it doesn't, just that no one that has tried to use it has edited the wiki to confirm it works...as I am doing with ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer right now, which does work on ASA.

[hollow hemlock]

On a dedicated unofficial server, we've been noticing since the SE release that unrendered babies ignore maturation rates for growth and as a result grow very very slow when unrendered. For instance, our rates are 10x maturation, so for instance a Theri takes 11.5 hours to fully grow. But when growing completely unrendered, after 12 hours, the baby has barely made it in juvenile stage. No server downtime, no rollbacks.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Tried searching around to see if there were other reports of it and possible fixes, but couldn't find anything.

[native wave]

I'm the only one that plays on my server right now, so when I disconnect, all my growing babies are out of render. They grow as expected though. I'll usually plop down a baby at night and by the time I reconnect it's fully grown. There doesn't appear to be any pause when server empty on ASA, or anything for hibernation on dedicated servers.

[blazing ruin]

how to i enable Dlss settings? i have a 2060 super and i want to use frame generation

[faint nacelle]

Serv always crash when Tek cave boss

[river tinsel]

hey guys, are you having like invisible wall on scorched ?

[native wave]

only supported on 40 series cards. maybe there is a way to enable it....but I have no idea since I use an AMD card

you could use the dlss enabler mod on nexusmods to replace dlss with FSR3 though...which allows for frame generation and there is no limit to 40 series cards.

but also this isn't exactly the place to discuss this.

[bleak horizon]

anyone able to figure why xbox chat is so bad cant even type name of my server in server search bar?

bfilterchat=false

nobody replied

An access violation error message isnt a ban btw. Just to clear that up. Its actual extremely common error message and has nothing to do with your gameplay status. A ban would give you a pop up window stating the ban.

Anyone having issues with placing some structures from mods on unofficial servers?

Can't place any GDG structures or the dino depot stuff. Some of Klingers structures too.

Went into GCM to see if a fresh structure would help but then those started placing as other mod items entirely. Tried to place the dino depot storage box and it places a JVH Landscaping mod tree.

[fluid token]

does anyone know a good d+ nanny replacement? seems like the mod has been let go

no updates so it hasnt been working right

[native wave]

I've been looking for such a mod...as development has stalled on Super structures (supposed to be back this month). All the options I've found seems to be broken in some way. I have a partial solution using peyloris cryo mod. It at least will pick up babies for me. It can also grow and imprint babies, similar to the nanny. I have not used those options yet, so I don't know how well they work. I use it only as a baby auto-pickup system.

[onyx gale]

Are Scorched days inherently longer than The Island days? We have servers for each, the settings for day/night cycle are identical, but im getting much slower time passage on Scorched. I'm trying to figure out if something is wrong with my settings or if this is just how the game is.

[low dew]

did they ever fix the desync with trains when there traveling for a long time then hit a junction

[humble thicket]

I need help, I can’t get admin access on my nintrado server to work. I own the server but I can’t log into admin mode. This is on ASA and I play on console and yes I have console commands turned on. But my password. Doesn’t work

[ivory token]

Hi,
I ask the community about experiences about the RAM consumption of the server.
I plan to fit ASA cluster, preferably Island, Scorched Earth and the upcomming Center in one machine. It will have 8 core (Ryzen 7000 or 8000, 4.2Ghz+ ) and 64 GB RAM. The cluster will have 10-20 active users spread on those maps, several hundreds tames and PVE setting.
Can this machine run this in a performant way or I need to target more RAM.
Thank You for your insight

[lunar cloud]

one thing i always bring up, Ark (ASE and ASA) functions really well on Virtual Ram too. On average an instance uses about 8-12GB RAM at a time so you're looking at about that x 3 ( each map)
Dont be afraid to throw another 64GB as Virtual RAM.
I run a two map cluster with just 8GB physical and added anouther 64GB as VRAM and it works a dream.
I have only 1-5 players.
CPU is likely the biggest factor. I run a small 4 core and it works perfectly for us.
Think when you push around 20+ users is where things get intense CPU-wise

[bleak horizon]

Hey sorry to bother you was this in game.ini file ?

[river tinsel]

hey guys, are you having the feeling like you're having invisible wall on scorched when you are riding a dino, same as desync ?

[distant hearth]

gameusersetting.ini under the header [serversettings]
if its there an set true change to false, if its not there add it in

[bleak horizon]

thanks so much

[bleak horizon]

does it matter where i add it in under the server settings ? just worried i currupt it 🤣

[distant hearth]

no doesnt matter, aslong as it under that header, main thing is to check its not already in there and set true

[wise kindle]

Be sure you are typing in the password correctly, enablecheats typeyourpasswordhere then use something like Cheat fly to test it out.

[fallen jolt]

Guys, does anyone have a way to remove the high ping from the server? I have a server that hits 400 ping when you jump it seems like you are stuck in the air running, is there any configuration that improves the server host nitrado?

[brisk river]

Hello survivors.

I have nitrado servers with the Island and Scorched map. on maps, always after reset, Dinosaurs, platforms, players, buildings, tower and other items are transported to a specific location on the map.

Creating a veritable pile of dinosaurs and items.

Has anyone been through this, can anyone solve it?

[fallen jolt]

Bug 50/50?

[copper osprey]

Hello. Does anyone know how to activate the 15 minutes cooldown to upload new inventory item ?

[tired basalt]

My server is pvp, but i cant raid someones box bc its "offline damage protected" whats wrong with my code?
"PreventOfflinePvP=False
ServerPVE=False
bDisableFriendlyFire=False
bAutoPvETimer=False"

[distant hearth]

PreventOfflinePvP=False

set it true

[tired basalt]

uve gotta be kidding me

[distant hearth]

read it , lol, ass backwards coding

prevent =true means it stops it

[cunning urchin]

my server added those modded creatures that will come into the game eventually, but does this mean theres going to be two sets of creatures doubling the spawns and everything? Maybe the cretaures they add later will be optional? Seems really messy.

[tired basalt]

is anything else wrong or just that?

[tired basalt]

what mod?

[distant hearth]

they seem ok to me

[cunning urchin]

ark additions i think

the name of the mods are so generic its hard for me to recal sorry

i know thats vague but its the ones everyones using half the time

[distant hearth]

unknown but highly likely the modder will remove them from mod once there in base game

[tired basalt]

its not working , its under "[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]" in game.ini is that right?

[late estuary]

Has anyone else on Series X noticed the significant downgrade in texture quality since recent patches? I don't think it's caused by mods. Wondering if anyone knows what's caused it

I know there's a console command to force load all textures to max, but that leads to crashing eventually. Even though that's how things in game looked normally prior to the SE launch and subsequent patches

[distant hearth]

yea , check its not duplicated .
if nitrado server, stop server wait atleast 5 mins, make changes , save it, wait a minute, restart it .

its possible becuase the server was set to allow orp, u will need to wait for all current cooldowns to expire before new settings take effect

[tired basalt]

what happens if it duplicates?

[distant hearth]

never know which one is taking effect, true or false

[tired basalt]

is there a way to allow meshing so its not a pain to build, but not like so much u can build bases in the mesh?

[leaden cedar]

Hello, one of my players is having an issue with BattlEye, and we haven't found a solution yet. Does anyone know what to do?

Network failure message = You have been kicked by BattlEye. Reason 'client not responding'"

[errant fox]

I keep getting this structure is too high above the platform when building on a raft what setting do I change for this?

[clever tendon]

I have a question can you now change the levels for players yet?

[bleak ivy]

highest is still the official max at least on my server.

[fallen jolt]

Guys, does anyone have a way to remove the high ping from the server? I have a server that hits 400 ping when you jump it seems like you are stuck in the air running, is there any configuration that improves the server host nitrado?

[fluid token]

Yea that’s what I have for now waiting on super super structures mod to come out wi the more 😦 Ty Ty for the reply

[native wave]

See Jer's reply to me just after mine. Going to give QOL+ a try. Looks like it has promise. No comments on the page which is why I think I avoided it previously.

[muted slate]

does anyone happen to know how to fix a bug where the blueprint for foundations doesnt show up in smithys or replicators?

[earnest otter]

Yo my ark world is crashing but other world doesnt crash

How do I save my progress and reinstall if possible?

[jade lake]

trying to play with my friends on ASA, im on steam theyre on xbox pc

how the hell are we supposed to play together?
youtube etc isnt helping much, running non dedicated rn.
i mean im in shock tbh, first i cant have multiple saves and now i cant even play with my buddies

[frozen wind]

can't seem to get my Ark Ascended server to let me join and Steam cant see there is a server on the IP the only thing that sticks out is it says ticking loop I have been up for about 18 hours trying to fix this Can some 1 plez help

[rigid maple]

play unofficial

[rigid maple]

Have you tried restarting your server with a back up save

[frozen wind]

I just downloaded it

[rigid maple]

if that doesn't work put a ticket in to your server provider

[frozen wind]

there is not 1 it dedicated

[rigid maple]

Well that sux

[frozen wind]

wow ty that sooooooo helpful

[rigid maple]

Lol sorry I actually play unoffical and run a server never played dedicated

[frozen wind]

dedicated means it is a server that's not run by someones game hosting sites use the same dedicated servers (I think is I remember right

[rigid maple]

Well sorry I couldn't help

[jaunty vortex]

Dedicated means it’s a server running on a PC and not just someone inviting you to play in their game on their PC or console. It runs all the time and not just while playing.

You have official dedicated, which is Nitrado. Then you have unofficial dedicated like the one I run on my own server

[jaunty vortex]

It doesn’t show up in steam, that was ASE.

[rigid maple]

I will stick to my unofficial

[frozen wind]

what do you mean by this

[jaunty vortex]

I mean the server browser in steam was for Survival Evolved (ASE).

If you are running your own dedicated server, I would recommend

1. don’t run it on the same PC as your game unless you use a port other than 7777 and have a load of RAM (32GB or more).
2. check your ports are set correctly.
3. check your firewall allows the ports through in both directions
4. check your router is forwarding the ports you set up to your server

[frozen wind]

in your Steam app for the desktop go to view then game servers that is what I am talking about and the ports are all done right I have checked and checked like 8 times but for your point 1 what do you mean I should change the port from 7777

[jaunty vortex]

I mean if you run the game from the same pc as your server, they will argue over who gets to use port 7777

There is no server list in steam for ASA, it’s all in game now and managed by Epic, not by Steam.

[frozen wind]

will that part does not matter at it does not show up in-game anyways

[frozen wind]

how much do you know about the servers?

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve been running my own server from home since the game came out.

It runs on a dedicated PC. I have 25 years experience in telecoms and IT.

[frozen wind]

I sent you the log does any thing stand out to you

[jaunty vortex]

No, it looks fine. You can lose query port. ASA doesn’t use it.

[drowsy current]

If I config Paleo Ark to just spawn its creatures, it won't affect Acro spawns right? the config just makes it guaranteed Paleo Creature spawn (ASE)

[drowsy current]

Also I notice in steam page of ARK Additions, that Ceratosaurus has a spawning problem? (ASE)

[frigid vine]

Hrello. Any workarounds for filtering chats?
XBOX Players complains a lot that they only see stars ****** in the chat. I tried to turn off the chat filter (even it should be deactivted by default) bFilterChat=False but it doesn't help. Any other ideas?

[fervent tree]

Microsoft forces very strict filters, nothing you can do about it except complaining to Microsoft

[bleak horizon]

sadly im the same its a microsoft issue for sure 😦 ive added the coding in too! hopefully they find a fix soon!

[frigid vine]

thank you both! 🤞 its part of this huge patch incoming this week

[icy granite]

hey people, i need help

i can not enter in server with mods, all most connection expired, anyone have some ideia ?

[amber veldt]

Ayoo can anyone help me troubleshoot something must use Xbox

[willow apex]

Anyone know the ini code to increase upload limit higher than 20 creatures and 50 items on unofficial?

[tired basalt]

"PreventOfflinePvP=True" under "[ServerSettings]" in game.ini doesnt work, neither does putting it under "[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]" in gamesettings.ini , despite other code working under these. What is the issue?

[drowsy current]

anybody know why I'm only seeing lowest level 15? I have not seen level 5's during my testing today in singleplayer. I need them low levels for breeding

[fathom moon]

Most likely because that setting should be under the [ServerSettings] section of GameUserSettings.ini

@tired basalt for reference: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#GameUserSettings.ini

[fathom moon]

MaxTributeDinos and MaxTributeItems -- both are also under the [ServerSettings] section of GameUserSettings.ini

[tired basalt]

it is

sorry i said it the wrong way around

[willow apex]

not showing on mine, do i need to add it?

[fathom moon]

Are you stopping the server before making the ini change? Do you have serverPVP also set in your ini? Or PreventTribeAlliances? If so, what are they set to?

[fathom moon]

Yes add MaxTributeDinos=20 and MaxTributeItems=50 within that section, obviously replacing 20 and 50 with whatever numbers you're looking for. The wiki says not to go over 273 for Dinos or 154 for Items though, for reference.

[tidal coral]

Why tf is it so hard to open a Ticket for a Mesh base ??
OMG .... !

[tired basalt]

ServerPVE=False

i think tribe alliances is on true

[bleak horizon]

r u coding via nitrado or using beacon?

[tired basalt]

beacon, making changes then putting it into nitrado

[fathom moon]

And you are stopping the server + waiting for it to stop fully before uploading the edited file, correct?

[tired basalt]

yes

can i send u my code and u have a quick scan? sorry bout this

[fathom moon]

Sure, no worries. For reference I don't have much experience with Beacon/Nitrado specifically but I run my own self-hosted dedicated server so we should be able to figure it out even if it takes a little longer

[steady kettle]

Does anyone know how to set it up so that I don't have to put in my "enablecheats" command when I log into my server? I just want to already be in admin mode.

[native wave]

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

ASA uses EOS ID, ASE uses Steam ID

[steady kettle]

I've done that with no luck 😦

And I'm using Nitrado

I created the txt file with my EOS on the first line.

[native wave]

perhaps Nitrado has a different way. That, I don't know

[steady kettle]

Yeah I got it.

[fathom moon]

Check your DM's, apparently copying/pasting information directly from Nitrado's site is being flagged as potential spam by the discord bots and being removed

[steady kettle]

Okay

[solemn shard]

can anyone help me. im trying to join my friends non-dedicated server and when i press join it says joining his server. after like a min it says Connection Timeout. Someone please help im going insane

[distant hearth]

you both need to be on the same platform, ie xbox and xbox , or ps5 and ps5 .
if your are both on same it is still a bit hit an miss, some isp block incoming connections, so might be worth you hosting and have friend try join

[wise kindle]

So with Nitrado, double check that all those settings are set correctly in the General settings page as well as your ini. Nitrado will default to the General settings page if the 2 places conflict. So be sure that page is in line with your ini.

[fathom moon]

I checked their ini file earlier and the PreventOfflinePvP variable wasn't actually in there anywhere to be found, presumably from not having stopped the server entirely before changing it. There was also a few other variables that were probably causing issues due to being doubled/tripled and/or in some cases just not being an actual variable name at all.

[distant hearth]

i ran through how to change nitrado setings with them yesterday,
people still wont listen to me when i say need wait atleast 5 min after shut down server to make changes.... nitrado ui is laggy asf

[jagged epoch]

Can people with the windows 10 game play on steam servers?

[wise kindle]

No worries just letting them know that the gen page has to match or bad things happen.

[bleak ivy]

ASA is crossplay on all platforms. the servers themselves decide if platforms can play. win10 is often disabled due to no anticheat on PvP including officials.

for ASE crossplay is
steam to epic (without mods)
xbox to win10(gamepass/microsoft store)
playstation, switch, and mobile are alone.

[sterile isle]

Is anyone having problems taming Dino’s? None seem to be taking damage (fighting back/fleeing) besides ones with babies. None will get knocked out either no matter what tranq I use.

[lofty bison]

Hi can u help me pleas?
LastJoinedSessionPerCategory=" "

this setting is duplicated in the settings after every restart of the server. Manager then reports a duplicate file because of this and crashes

sry my eng

[pearl narwhal]

Just started renting an Ark server, can I add more mods and change rates when the server has been running a week or two

[jaunty vortex]

Yes

[pearl narwhal]

Without disturbing anything already on there?

[jaunty vortex]

Yes. Although you may find some things don’t change. If you’ve hatched eggs or have baby dinos growing up, they won’t do so any faster.

[pearl narwhal]

Okay perfect thank you

[jaunty vortex]

Anything new will pick up any changed rates.

[pearl narwhal]

I want to bin off the clouds haha. Oh and speed up baby dinos maturing

[rich oar]

Has anyone had issues of the oasissaur helping to break tribe tame limits?

[neon portal]

Does ‘XPMultiplier=2’ still work in the game.ini or do I have to adjust every exp by itself (kill exp, harvest exp, etc etc)

[lone cradle]

hi im looking for a good server manager for asa someone know one?

[jaunty vortex]

Yes but we can’t share links.

[distant hearth]

does work but will be in gameusersetting.ini

[neon portal]

Aha ok ty

[runic osprey]

Anyone know what happened to DinoCountMultiplier for ASA ini files? Just set up my Nitrado server, and spawns are very sparse with dinos to tame/kill for food.

[jaunty vortex]

Takes about half an hour for everything to finish spawning in if you are starting from fresh.

[fathom moon]

That setting is generally duplicated in the ini and wouldn't cause a crash. Can you post a screenshot of the error you're getting?

[lofty bison]

I solved it. Thank you.

LastJoinedSessionPerCategory=1
I save this in game user setting and it worke

[fathom moon]

My bad I was totally reading the variable wrong too. Glad to hear you got it figured out!

[native stag]

is there someone would could help me on port with ASA please in PM ?

[nocturne shale]

I've been having an issue on my server, people are complaining about no gigas spawning. How can you fix this because u haven't seen any either I think I've seen a carcharo once but that's it and don't they share spawn points?

[fathom moon]

@native stag check DM's

[serene granite]

Did they drop the big patch to us yet?

[fathom moon]

They updated #patch-notes 20 minutes ago so I assume so?

[celest halo]

11 min ago only about an hour after officials got it

[serene granite]

I guess it’s in nitrado’s hands now… I’ll check there thanks.

[celest halo]

You can never go by that, there has been releases in patch notes that unofficials never got

[fathom moon]

Major patches as well? I'm still new so I assumed a major patch for servers and clients would apply to unofficial as well lol

[celest halo]

Majors we always get but they can be 30min to 4+ hours after officials get them

Minor patches I have seen be 24 hours behind a few times if we even get it

[fathom moon]

Ahhh ok fair enough, thanks for the info!

[celest halo]

They use officials as a testing ground, so if they find issues right away with a major we normally don't get it till they fix the problem

[fathom moon]

That makes sense, I can appreciate that.

[native wave]

Having issues seeing my servers in game. Can see them locally and it has updated my discord with the status. Can see them on battlemetrics as online, but nothing in game when I search for them

I'm fully up to date across the board...they just aren't showing up in the game server browser no matter what I search for or boxes I check

remember to check filters you have set at the top....doh

[finite field]

thank you, i took off all the top filters and found our server

[native wave]

glad I could help with my own screwup lol

[foggy plinth]

TheIsland_WP_31.03.2024_05.53.51.ark why does this say the date it was made and how did it happen, and can you make that manually? Does it happen when i type Saveworld into the command bar?

[haughty badger]

Is the update out for unofficial yet?

[native wave]

yes

[jaunty vortex]

autosave

[slate bridge]

anyone else game instant crash from the new patahc ?

[foggy plinth]

Autosave? The Game makes it on it self?

[slate bridge]

patch

[jaunty vortex]

yes

[foggy plinth]

When opining it?

[native wave]

I had one hard lockup....but refreshed my amd settings and it hasn't since

[slate bridge]

As soon as i enter the password i crash

[foggy plinth]

for the server?

[slate bridge]

yeah

[jaunty vortex]

AutoSavePeriodMinutes= in gameusersettings.ini

[foggy plinth]

uhh good to know

[slate bridge]

all players on server crashing

[native wave]

I locked up looking for my servers on the server browser screen

[jaunty vortex]

under server settings

[foggy plinth]

is it already there?

[jaunty vortex]

it is on mine but then I use a server manager so I don't know if it is there by default

[foggy plinth]

it is

default is AutoSavePeriodMinutes=15 what does this mean?

Does it mean it makes a save every 15mins?`

[jaunty vortex]

Yes. So if you restart without saving, that’s the most you will lose.

[foggy plinth]

And what if the game file gets corrupt?

[woven sorrel]

same for me

[slate bridge]

Its a mod i believe

Definitly a mod, i tested on a map with no mods and it works perfectly

[native wave]

no issues after my first freeze. on my servers I swapped Super Structures Ascended for QOL+, just to make the switch, not troubleshoot or anything. No issues after doing that, though I don't know the status of SSA after the patch.

[prime leaf]

Might be the best place to ask... how do we know we can update our servers once there is a patch?

[native wave]

look for the steamdb link in the pinned comments, to the dedicated server page for it....when the public branch gets updated, then you can update your server. nitrado has it's own system though. This only applies to non-nitrado unofficial servers

steamdb links

[frigid vine]

Hello guys,

Can somebody confirm this issue?
After the big patch, go to the island coords 91,7 / 50,5 and observe your Server-FPS (setCheatPlayer 1) and CPU usage (taskmanager).

The Server-FPS drops from 30 to around 5-10! The CPU goes from 3-5% usage to 40-50%

[prime leaf]

Thanks.!yeah we are hosting ourselves.

[jaunty vortex]

I don't know, I have a script that runs every 15 minutes to backup my server save files

[frigid vine]

#unofficial-setup-help message
Found the issue! Massive overspawn in the caves. Over 72k wild dinos on the map! We restart the server every day incl. dino wipe.
Now i did a manual wipe and the server fps are more stable now. This needs to be fixed.

[native wave]

yeah cave spawns have always been an issue on low pop servers. normally they are regularly run, so they get cleared out. low pop servers don't run them as often....so it becomes an issue you have to mitigate

[foggy plinth]

Me too for my server just asking for someone on SP

[jaunty vortex]

you could do the same on sp though, just needs pointing at the right place. Mine is basic, just a powershell script called by task scheduler every 15 minutes

[golden bramble]

anyone know how can i force my server to update? its hosted on my pc with the steam cmd stuff, for some reason it hasnt actually updated yet even though ive run the update file like 10 times now and its still on version 39.6

[foggy plinth]

I do the same but only on the start up of my server

[foggy plinth]

But i think he will just do Manuel backups for now

[fathom moon]

If you configure something like Google Drive to sync the game folder(s) it will save up to 100 file versions each time the file is saved that you can restore later. E.g. TheIsland_WP.ark would save a new version in the file history every time the file was modified (in this instance, every time an autosave or saveworld happened in game, so at least every 15 minutes by default), and you can pick from those which to restore from.

@foggy plinth just lmk if you want to know more about that or would like help with it, it's pretty quick and simple to configure

[foggy plinth]

But doesn't that need a cloud? Like Google Drive costs money right?

[fathom moon]

Google Drive is free for up to 15gb of storage, which should be plenty for your save file(s). From there you can go up to 100gb of space if needed for $1.99/mo

[woven sorrel]

I found the mod that poses a problem for me: return the baecons. I removed it it works fine

[foggy plinth]

Oh that’s cool but I think he is fine with doing it manually but still thanks for that offer and that idea I never thought you could do that! Maybe in the future I need it! 🫶🏻😁

[slate bridge]

same ! 🙂

[gaunt shuttle]

Help me pleace, i have a error in ARK Survival Evolved, What happens is that it doesn't let me play the nitrated servers and tells me "union failed, the address could not be recovered" I'm almost sure it's something on my wifi although I don't know what it is, my wifi is very fast but I don't know what the problem is 😦 I have a year with this problem, I don't know what to do

[native wave]

My servers have been down since April waiting for the patch (and I was off playing other games). Getting a crash on my ASA scorched earth map on startup. after the patch it came up and was stable. then after I was done taking care of things with my main on the island, I switched over to my alt on scorched. I had died in the spot I spawned. Nothing on me. Shortly after that I lost connection to host. I decided to restore from a backup in April. Now my server crashes every time I startup. Running the same mods on it as I am on the island

[tawdry rain]

It's back to the same thing. Every update, love that in the laundry list of 90% SE issues, this wasn't one of the fixes. Servers rollercoastering

[native wave]

ok, looks like my scorched started this time

but I can't connect, lost connection to host. immediate "left this ark" message in the server console

[golden bramble]

is the update not out yet for steamcmd servers or something? i keep running my update file and its not working (yes i checked for typos and its all good on that front) Ive run the file like 12 times today and its still stuck on 39.6

[native wave]

update is out on the public branch

[golden bramble]

why cant i get my server to update then?

[native wave]

no clue

[obsidian falcon]

Jw, I have a server that is updated to (v41.23) but the xbox players who are updated can't see or connect to it. They say that the xbox version is on (v41.18) and they can not see any server including mine. I can see it and connect on the windows 10 version though? Is there any way I can fix this or is this an issue everyone is having?

[celest halo]

If you still on 39.6 you haven't been able to update for over a month, there was like 5 updates since then before 41.23

[golden bramble]

then how do i actually update the server then, i was playing on it just fine last night

[celest halo]

Might have something to do with this ```Quick Patch Update:

Later today, we'll be deploying the major version patch without Premium Mods in order to get the fixes out sooner. Premium Mods are still going through the cert process and we'll follow up next week with more info on when they'll be available on console```

[celest halo]

Run the steamcmd you used to install it

[gritty raptor]

ASA:
For higher dino levels I had to turn off maxdifficulty and higher difficultyoffset, right?

[distant hearth]

update batch file shud look summi like this, just change the file paths to your locations
start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[golden bramble]

thats what i got put in, im running steamcmd atm to try and update it and i think its working, keyword think, we shall see

[wise kindle]

powershell by chance?

[jaunty vortex]

yes, powershell

[celest halo]

validate shouldn't be in there

[golden bramble]

UPDATING THROUGH STEAMCMD WORKED!!!!!
idk how or why my server update file didnt work but i guess it only works for mods, but i opened steamcmd
typed login anonymous
app_update 2430930 validate
let it update and then typed quit
and then i started my server and its now on 41.23 so now i know how to actually update it lol

[distant hearth]

i like to use validate, for one my internet sux and two if no update it verifies the files so i know its working just no update availble

[celest halo]

You run validate on your game before you start it every time also

[distant hearth]

no just after every time i take an update

[jaunty vortex]

it's a good time to check for any corrupt files, to be fair

[gritty raptor]

Guys I bought a server, set it up and all, now I bring it up and after like a minute it shuts down immediately, why is that?

[jaunty vortex]

have you a load of mods?

[gritty raptor]

Yeah, but less than some other server, could it be because of that? If so imma remove some

[native wave]

after a big update mods are frequently the cause of server issues

[wise kindle]

duplicate those mods on single player and process of elimination will tell you which one it is.

Return the Beacons mod is broke with this update btw, in case anyone had login issues.

[gritty raptor]

Ok, will do that

[golden bramble]

my general rule for stuff like that is get rid of any that you know you may not use first, otherwise just get rid of 1 at a time, and keep restarting the server until it stays up and then you can rinse and repeat while re adding them when you find the problem mod, you can also try to do it on singleplayer but ive never had much luck doing it that way

[gritty raptor]

Problem is, we prob gonna need most of them at the beginning already, atleast I will, I dont know bout the others, but I just kicked out some mods that arent necessary

Hope the server stays up now haha

Because otherwise idk which mod to kick🤣

[golden bramble]

if it doesnt work youll just need to do process of elimination, take one off restart server, when it stays up, then you can try readding your mods, just obviously not the one that was making it crash lol

[wise kindle]

Usually the structures mods are guilty, but they did a bunch of visual updates in that patch. So could be alot of things unfortunately.

[gritty raptor]

So I just did that and now am left with the same mods as another server had, still my server keeps going down, what could it be now?

And the other server is up btw

[native wave]

yay....got back in my character on scorched earth. Not sure what it was. Made a backup of the character profile. Took those files off server (no other player profiles on the server, and just my tribe) and transferred my island character over. Found my alt character's sleeping body in the base there. Tried to move it, but that crashed the server. Reconnected with main to my scorched server after it came back up. Didn't try to move my alt again. Transferred my main back to the Island. Restored the back up of my character profile, but deleted the tribute file (had nothing stored there anyway). Was able to load it and connect using my alt on scorched. Shortly after that though....a few minutes, the server crashed again.

[golden bramble]

you may need to delete the save file rq or just try and repair the server, nitrado should have a button to do that, cant remember what menu it would be under though

[gritty raptor]

Ill look for it, thank you
I just bought the server and no ones been on it since haha

[gritty raptor]

Which one?
arksa
restart.log
stop

[wise kindle]

ah I wouldnt go and delete files unless you know that file is the issue. js

[gritty raptor]

Alright, I just now realised the island file was still on it, could that be the reason

[wise kindle]

Id just start going thru mods and see what hits.

[gritty raptor]

But the mods I have left now are the same a different server has aswell and that different server is up, so shouldnt it work for me aswell?

[golden bramble]

honestly i would just contact nitrados support, im blanking on their menus atm and am not gonna be much help, sorry

[native wave]

scorched seems to have a crash. can connect to my character there, but it crashes after a few minutes

[gritty raptor]

Do they have a written support? Cause I only know about the hotline and tbh i cba to call someone at 10pm

[leaden cedar]

Hi someone know how work "Allowedcheatersteamids" and "allowedcheatersaccountids" i'm trying but i cannot get admin with this

[native wave]

ASA or ASE?

[leaden cedar]

ASA

[wise kindle]

Is it a map mod?

[gritty raptor]

Amissa

[wise kindle]

and Amissa is ok?

[gritty raptor]

Yeah, since other amissa servers are up aswell

[native wave]

and you use your EOS Id in allowedcheateraccountids.txt?

[wise kindle]

It sounds like something is different. What are the mods?

[golden bramble]

forgot i cant post links, just search nitrado support on google or go to their website and click on support and click on customer support

[leaden cedar]

yeah i get online ids on the game, and i put it on, and that doesnt work, i dont know why

[native wave]

that text file is in "ShooterGame/Saved"?

should be working if it is

did you restart the server after doing that?

[leaden cedar]

yep, and i already restarted ofc, but still dont work idk

[native wave]

not sure then

[gritty raptor]

Primal chaos, AA, Descended, Admin panel, Qol+, Imbue and upgrade station, Dragonic chronicles, Crafting skill potion, Utilities plus, Super spyglass plus, Ap death recovery, Shiny! Dino ascended, Mutate madness, Ultimate tranqz, Ludopark casino, omega teleporters, super cryo storage, rr floating platform, amissa, ez engrqm unlocker, ez stack mod, gg economy, xiro addutions, cyrus critters(both), love ascended

[wise kindle]

oh my

[native wave]

yikes

[gritty raptor]

Yeah a lot😭

[wise kindle]

Primal chaos AND Descended?

and Shiny?

[gritty raptor]

Yup, cause my friends couldnt agree on one

[wise kindle]

holy smokes

[gritty raptor]

And since other server also had all three i thought yolo

[leaden cedar]

maybe because i'm on nitrado?

[wise kindle]

Well, you have 3 conversion mods there. Should really only be running one cuz they do conflict.

[native wave]

the file isn't getting wiped with rebooting the server is it?

[gritty raptor]

So just say „idc about yalls opinion and I now decide which one we take“? Ok Im fine with that haha

[untold turtle]

Does this mean Gigantoraptor can be migrated to the passive mods list in the server settings?

[native wave]

not sure if Nitrado has a UI to configure whitelisted admins

[leaden cedar]

nope, but nitrado support tell me i have to use an website for doing that, like pastebin

[wise kindle]

you can remove it completely

[untold turtle]

Sweet thank you!

[native wave]

doesn't need to be passive modded......just take it out

[native wave]

possible their build requires that....don't know. it may not be able to use a local file

[wise kindle]

Im not sure where to start there tbh. But if you want to experience each of those conversion mods to the fullest, they should be run separately. If your buddies want these mods, tell them to cough up money for more servers lol.

[native wave]

they run on a different branch than public does....the one I (and all non-nitrado servers) use

[leaden cedar]

alright, i'm gonna try to understand, thank for answer

[gritty raptor]

Alright, well Ill just keep the one with the most content, hope it works now tho haha

And he went down again😭

[gritty raptor]

Ok, will try that in a sec, thank you

[wise kindle]

yeah you are gonna have to just go one at a time to see what works.

I usually just replicate the build in single player and then just remove one at a time to see what works.

[gritty raptor]

Also possible, but it seems easier just doing it by pulling up the server over and over again, still thank you

[native wave]

I can't keep my Scorched server running. Crashes a few minutes after I connect with either character I have in my cluster.

seeing if a new character can connect

[distant hearth]

there was just another update to help server crash, but no sur ebe your issue as it summit do with trains

[native wave]

nothing with trains on my server

and crashed....took almost 20 minutes this time though with the fresh player

[rose frigate]

my server did not update to 41.24. is this intended?

[native wave]

nitrado or not?

[rose frigate]

no. this update has broken crossplay for my server.

[flat wigeon]

turn on logging for gameplay

see if you can correlate the timestamps to your crashes.

[remote mauve]

steamCMD refuses to update, just keeps getting stuck on progress: 97.34
HELP!

[distant hearth]

mine is stuck at 97.84% , my guess is the download location is over loaded, just have to wait it out an try again in abit

[remote mauve]

Good to hear that I'm not alone in this. Now stuck at 99.46

[distant hearth]

mine did complete eventually

[lone cradle]

i want to update my server but it says Encountered error downloading chunk someone know why?

[remote mauve]

Eventually got it running by creating a separate update batch file and waiting (impatiently).

[wise kindle]

This massive patch went WAAAY too well for a WC update. Did they hire a new test team?

[lunar plank]

Ha. I ran updates and now I don't see my dedi server listed at all....

[native wave]

2 out of 3 servers aren't crashing for me. shut them down and going back to fallout 4 until the game patches crashes or mods update to eliminate theirs. not really in the mood to troubleshoot mine right now

was looking forward to moving my thyla breeding over to scorched....but with the crashes, just not going to do it now

[native wave]

make sure you clear any map filters on the in game browser

[lunar plank]

Huh.... I looked up myserver (which I cant find in game) on battlemetrics.com, and it is saying the server is responding to query. Does that mean my server is up and I just can't see it?

[native wave]

yes, you are likely filtering it out

[lunar plank]

It's set to the same thing as before. Show password protected servers, and show player servers

everything else is off

[native wave]

and the filters at the top show all maps and have your chosen play mode (pve/pvp)

top of the column filters

[lunar plank]

yep, those settings are all good

[native wave]

if battlemetrics can see it then it's up and running. just gotta figure out why it's not displaying in your in game server browser

[dull oyster]

any idea why downloads wouldn't work on unofficial servers?

for some reason the transfer looks like it works but when it pulls the next server it doesn't show a character to download or spawn with, downloads/uploads have all been enabled and notributedownloads have been set to false on all servers, I can't quite figure out why it's not wanting to work

[lunar plank]

Hmmm. is it possible the server didn't update? I have only used ASM before, so I'm still unfamiliar with running servers directly with Steam CMD

[native wave]

likely a permissions issue with the source serve not able to write to the cluster directory, or the destination not able to read from it

[lunar plank]

It's not working for one of my players, too

[dull oyster]

what would be the way to circumnavigate that, the transfers were working prior to the patch

[native wave]

@lunar plank here's the proper way to update a steamcmd server....adjust paths appropriately

[native wave]

not sure then....if all that was done is updating....it should still be working. I confirmed transfers on my cluster are working after the patch...helped me figure out why I couldn't connect to my scorched server

[lunar plank]

Yeah, that's what I have and ran. I'm just wondering if it failed to update correctly.

[lunar plank]

Is there a way to see what version it's running?

[native wave]

it displays it when starting up

when it displays the memory stats...it'll list the game server version just below that

[lunar plank]

Thanks! And as it turns out, my instincts were correct - it didn't update. Running it again. Fingers crossed...

[distant hearth]

self host ? is so they need a shared cluster folder if running from seperate exe, using -clusterdiroverride=xxxx
where xxxx is the location of shared folder

[dull oyster]

well, they're unofficial I have my own machine to run them, they all have their own perspective folders underneath a master ASA folder

[lunar plank]

It worked. Thanks friend

[native wave]

@distant hearth he said it was working priror to the update

[distant hearth]

they will all need to share the same clusterid and directory with the override,
then it comes down to settings, u have the notributes which most miss so i dunno, id check that ini didnt get wiped

[distant hearth]

ah thx missed that bit

[dull oyster]

it didn't I double checked that prior the notributes are set to false, all preventuploads and downloads as well, the cluster ID works fine because our servers show up in the ob and you can transfer to however when it comes to spawning its not there to download

[distant hearth]

100% recheck your ini files, on all servers, asa loves to randomly wipe them back to default for fun

[distant hearth]

ughh ok, u seem to have covered pretty much all i can think of then.... possibly they broke it with latest update, wudnt be first time.....
i wiud recheck all settings on all servers just becuase that s me an i triple check everything whn having issues .
failing that might just have wait it out an see if others having same problem

[dull oyster]

that's what I was afraid of I just wanted to double check and confirm because I might have missed something but nothing seems to be off

[distant hearth]

mine test servers are still downloading so i cant even test to confirm sry, be a few hours yet before they get done and im off bed, hope u figure it out

[tropic edge]

Has anyone already removed the Gigantoraptor mod and is playing on SE? Do they spawn if you have the config in Game.ini or do you still need the mod for SE?

[solemn zephyr]

From what Ive heard, several people removed it without issues. None vanishing. Still spawning. Same BP path as well which leads me to believe its true.

I have mine set to remove at daily restart.

[native wave]

No issues removing it on mine

[native wave]

You still need the ini code to have them spawn on SE. They do not naturally spawn on the map.

[dusty jay]

anyone able to get the new update on their server

mines still 39.37 after updating

[lunar cloud]

yes, updated via steamcmd with no issues

[dusty jay]

anyone using windows gsm have the same issue?

[cursive viper]

Anyone know why my non dedicated says “no session found” for all my friends after the recent update?

[native wave]

make sure they have their server browser filters set appropriately....above and below

[limpid steppe]

Anyone know why my unofficial server would say build version 41.25 instead of 41.24?

[narrow surge]

Apologies if I'm in the wrong chat, point me in the right direction if so thankyou.
Question pertains to unofficial, admin commands and the notorious 50/50
On a daily basis usually after server refresh, admins will clear 50/50 of Dino's and structures with the Killaoe structures/Dino command.
In my time doing this since ASA came out this works well, but I have come across 4 individual structures (2 on each map) that are simply to the best of my knowledge... are Indestructible!!! And are still there to this day, can not remove them, redgun, kill commands, claim and demo, tried everything we know.
Is this a common glitch, and is there any known fix or command to remove them?

[scenic tangle]

Anyone know why a server would be crashing on startup after the update?

[keen canopy]

Is there anyway to increase the number of members you can have in a tribe on unofficial servers? For survival evolved

[native wave]

MaxNumberOfPlayersInTribe

[keen canopy]

through the console?

[native wave]

game.ini

console commands usually don't stick over a reboot....so ini settings are the way to go for things you want to stick

[cedar pond]

Does anyone else’s server completely crash after doing the manticore in scorched earth????

[keen canopy]

Alright thanks, I assume it needs =<> as well?

[queen spindle]

what settings can i use for lets say a wyvern so i can fully imprint it and it fully grow in about 10 minutes at max? on ASE
