What hardware are y’all using to host? I’m looking into getting a server to host all maps when released but not certain of the requirements other than core count/ddr4 ram size. I’ve seen some things say 3ghz+ for CPU but I’m not dropping 10k on a new threadripper build. I’m currently renting a VPS with 2.6ghz and seems to work fine but not sure how many players it’ll support

We rent a Root Server by a German Hoster. Xeon Precessor and 256GB Ram DDR4
What’s the processor speed? How many players? Any lag?
we have a Xeon CPU E5-1650 V3 3.50GHz
asa is more ram heavy than anything, but you are going to have to balance on how many people will be on the maps . Id
HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697v2 2.7Ghz 384GB of DDR3
Purchased it from a local electronics recycler that does business on Ebay
There was some lag playing on Gen 2 on ASE originally, but all other maps I've run have run well. No more than 5 people on at a time though
hoping the improvements in UE5 will help with the lag on Gen 2
already thinking about getting another server for games that require more single core speed than my current one has
such as Space Engineers
Same
Im having a problem moving my Ark:SE world save from my windows dedicated server to a linux dedicated server anyone else ever have issues with this?
We had no problems with save games when moving from Nitrado to our host
I’m attempting to build a server machine. My old Asus g752 has almost had it
Leaning toward 2x gold 6154s but may be overkill. The E5-2697a may work well too
what I have setup is something I've wanted to do for a while. For a while I've been hosting off of my local machines (towers using my old hardware) in my office. I setup pterodactyl because it allows me to do exactly what I wanted.....spin up whatever server I want to run at any point in time. So I have ASE servers setup, Stationeers, Satisfactory, Conan, alongside ASA. I tried to run Space Engineers but because of the physics it requires a bit more horsepower in the CPU per core
scroll up a bit , i give the correct batch file to update an verify steamCMD server , just change the locations to where your installs are ,
be aware you just point it at the install folder not the actual .exe like you wud to run the server start batch file
I sent him my batch file. If you want I can send it to you too. It has some extras e.g. Check Firewall and Add Firewall Rules, Check for Updates and it has a crash routine
Oh that would be great. Haven’t had any issues until this update so I thought all my stuff was good to go lol.
This update makes no sense. I have 3 servers. All run the same mods and yet I can only get one server to come up and stay online.
i have 6 different servers and none will stay up
MOD: Prehistoric Beasts and MOD: Colossuscorpius
I’d be interested to see the code for that. I made a server recovery ps1 script that dynamically scans active servers and restores them if they crash. And another that scans ark for updates and runs scripts to start update protocols
mine are setup to update on reboot. so they won't update until the daily reboot unless I initiate it. allows me more control over the process
im old, i like manual, plus im dumb an cant make the scripts to do auto lolz.
with the amount dodgy updates they push out i prefer manual, dont want there half assed minor updates most time
it takes like less than 30 seconds to close server and double click the update batch file , make a coffee or two while it updates then restart server
I execute mine manually ATM because ark is a hot mess but task scheduler could just as easily do it. My script looks at the web xml which has the version info. If it changes, it rcon commands the countdown, doexit, update scripts and reboots the server
My script checks whether the task is still running and if it is no longer there, the script restarts the server
The scorpion mod is working on one of my servers while 2 are down. The mods arnt the issue its wildcard. Only suggestion is to tell nitrado straight you deserve compensation they are happy to charge you but don’t hold wildcard responsible you deserve added time
on our SE map it makes Problem
We don't have ARK servers at Nitrado!! That's why it's unnecessary to report the Nitrado!
Fair enough most people do
Anyone know why starting servers as background processes only use 1/10 of the system resources that they normally use?
And is there any downside
probably has an effect on the priority the server is given in using resources. so might see more lag if it needs more it doesn't already have
that is a guess. haven't really dove that far into windows server management
That’s the thing though, it hasn’t. Been running them this way via task scheduler for a couple months now and had no issues. Even my server recovery script is a background process and keeps the servers running completely in background
It’s a windows thing. With task scheduling, if you set your start scripts to run on system boot with out requiring a login it starts them in the background
Island for example uses 2gb of ram
if it works it works, i suspect they just use more resources as they need it, windows is pretty good at allocating ram useage to what needs it an giving more to what doesnt then reallocating as required
My The Island Server with 24 Mods use 13GB RAM^^
you will hear people moan like fuck windows uses alot ram, but it actually just uses as much as it can then reallocates if required in other places
no point in havig ram sat there unused right
People are having issues connecting via IP to my nitrado server? The server shows the correct IP when favourited but when you try and add that exact IP in game servers, steam says no server with that adress?
nitrado are funny with there ports , or were with ase, u had to use the ip adress then th port from next line down, i think it was listed as gameport. but you shudnt need to connect that way
Does anyone know if we can safely remove the Cerato and Xipha mod without losing the ones we already tamed from it?
Can anyone confirm this latest patch actually fixed modded nitrado servers
No, those are still modded creatures, they need the mod. The vanilla counterparts are separate.
Okay, thank you
nitrado hasn't releases the update yet so we don't know 100% yet (according to what i understood). The update should be available soon i think?
its out for steamCMD servers so u can just hope nitrado gets on it asap
Great if it’s not one company it’s the other and I’m getting a headache from players asking when imma fix it haha
ask them if they want maps with no mods.... bet most of them shut up an accept there will be issues around major updates
True that
when i ran alot ase servers , one was unmodded, that kept people happy whilst they waited on mod maps to get fixed, actually worked out well but i get it wont please everyone
on the cluster im playing on, island and svartalfheim are down. scorched earth is still up but i emptied all my stuff from my se base yesterday and moved to island 💀 i have no tames or loot on se. my character is blocked on island
yea , we call that "sods law" in the uk
just typical it happens that way
yo my servers still down
Can't post a picture but they are still on re-start loop
OH SH they just went online
the gameport is just 4 numbers
thats weird cuz we removed gigantoraptor from our mods when it was added to base game but they were still on our server tamed for those that had them
The gigantoraptor was always going to be added to the base game, Wildcard implemented it that way. Adding AA creatures as a vanilla counterpart to the mod creatures is different.
so if they were to add acro to the game, would we need to continue using the mod for our acros?
after the 43.8 update this morning my servers wont start unless i remove the mods from them
Unless stated otherwise by Wildcard or Garuga, yes. It is a mod creature, not the changed vanilla counterpart that Wildcard is implementing.
got it
both my servers keep crashing, thought I found a mod out of date, and one of my two stayed online, but then crashed again
Is there a general consensus as to which mods might be causing issues yet?
Update your server. It should be fixed.
Anyone else svart map not working?? I managed to get the other 2 working but not that one. They all run the same@mods tho
My cluster still isn’t rolling to 43
hellooo ive been trying to run my own dedicated server from a laptop with 16gigs ram, i tried doing it on my own with port forwarding and allowing it through the firewall, didn't work no matter what so i tried WindowsGSM, but still nothing. Console says the server is up and running fine and its utilizing my memory and cpu but I can't join it even as a host :( any ideas ?
i followed the tutorial by troublechute too ^^
Sorry friend. I’m having my own issues. I followed troublechutes guide and everything worked. Until this last update
Does anyone know if setting a tribe limit will effect established tribes
dumb suggestion have you made sure to tick "show player servers" on the server list in game?
one thing you may wanna do going forward though is to disable the spawns for the modded version or else your likely to end up with double spawns
Noted
yep :) can't even join using the 'open ip:7777' command
same problem? does it say its running but it's like it doesnt exist ?
when you say join it as a host are you running the client on the same laptop as the server or just another PC on the same local network?
both, cant join from the laptop or my main PC on the same local network
when i made the server on my own, i got a blank screen joining which at least was something... windowsgsm just nothin happens
I've been using asadedicatedmanager for my ASA servers might be worth giving that a shot, if you want send me a DM with your console showing it running and ill let you know if it looks right to me
thanks for your help :) ill send that over to you when i can
how can i mod my server im trying to add a way where u get 10x loot
Getting this error while I’m trying to update: app '2430936' state is 0x226 after update. Anybody know a quick fix? I googled but can’t find this error code specifically
im going to dm you a guide on setting up steamCMD servers for asa ,
its a in a notepad file and im not really the best at explaining things .
but it 100% works many have used it get servers working, u just need a bit patience to read it and understand basic windows file paths .
From it you can figure out your issues, id say a good 80% of the guides on the internet are wrong entirely or using old ase commands
how can i make it so the animals are higher level and u can gain more loot faster
what setting in nitrado do I change to decrese the cuddle interal so it come sooner??
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier Default value: 1.0
Value type: float
Scales how often babies needs attention for imprinting. More often means you'll need to cuddle with them more frequently to gain Imprinting Quality. Scales according to BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier: if both set at 1.0 the imprint request is every 8 hours.
info from https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
higher level dinos is done with
OverrideOfficialDifficulty Default value: 0.0
Value type: float
Allows you to override the default server difficulty level of 4 with 5 to match the new official server difficulty level. Default value of 0.0 disables the override. A value of 5.0 will allow common creatures to spawn up to level 150. Originally (247.95) available only as command line option.
info from https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
gonna dm u a guide on setting up asa server too, alot the ones on internet are just wrong , server shows running but isnt joinable .
what about the loot being higher like instead of getting 1 wood each time
thats just the harvest mutiplier
harvest amount and harvest health
HarvestAmountMultiplier Default value: 1.0
Value type: float
Specifies the scaling factor for yields from all harvesting activities (chopping down trees, picking berries, carving carcasses, mining rocks, etc.). Higher values increase the amount of materials harvested with each strike.
leave the health alone imho, until u understand what it does
is it you that uses diskdrive memory to make up for less ram ?
basically the higher you set the health....the more hits it takes to get the total amount of harvest you get
ah sry, i cant rem who it was , im worse than a gold fish
hehe
i wanted to look into it more, they was using disk memory as a virtual ram , i just forgot to ask them how
do i put the stuff in the user settings?
depends on the setting, some go in gameusersetting.ini, some in game.ini
i be changing whats put in the game settings but that dont change anything
to change any settings on server , first must shut it down , wait a min, preferably 10 if on nitrado, make changes, save it , then restart server
so if i dont do that it wont work at all?
if the server isnt shut down, no changes will take effect
it shud also be noted some changes wont take effect with items already in the worold that have a timer
until the timer is run down
he's struggling to comprehend your knowledge
okay didnt have to do me like that
sry i apologize for that, i really struggle to explain things, so try to make it basic as i can
you have to go a bit lower then basic for him
running servers aint easy, took my dumb arse years to figure it out
yeah i can see that its hard just to set it up and make it actually work
even enabling cheats doesnt work
Were just tryna set up a 2 player server since already unoffical servers have hidden traps everywhere and it's a struggle to do anything
yea for sure , theres two tools that make it a lot easyer ,
this website https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
and ark beacon omni app/program, the free version of it does hell of a lot
cheats on a server you need to have an admin password set then use
cheat whatevercheatyouwanttouse```
see i did that but nothing happens
i tend to use cheat gcm first as i know its working then , anytime it doesmt is always a password issue
i.eenablecheats youradminpassword cheat gcm
if that doesnt work i knoiw its a password issue
if your setting the password via start batch file it must be the last ? command in the file
yo @distant hearth can i dm u
you can , but it late here , so i might take a while for a response sometimes
thats fine
thank you that would be very helpful
anyone know how to send a serverchat that appears like standard chat?
hey, seeing if anyone can help but me and my friends have a weird issue, we will play anywhere from 3-10min on PC and Xbox on scorched earth and it will close the game and give a "Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
(were running the game pass version of the game)
is the server up to date after today's update?
yes
so is it possible to switch from nitrado server to a self hosted server and keep everything?
thank you!! just wanted to confirm before we made the switch
How do I backup my Main Ark Data to keep a whole save I can reboot to? Our server is wanting to join Survive the Night when it releases on console on new characters. We then want to come back from that when The Center is out on our current characters.
in the map save directory you can just zip up everything.
The main files are .ark , .arkprofile , .profilebak , .arktribe , .tribebak , .arktributetribe
Those are all the file extensions i backup and save to cloud storage regularly every few hours.
I restore my servers regularly and works a charm
I tweaked mine to not backup the autosaves, or my saved zip was getting too big
I have it run every 15 minutes and nightly it backs that folder up to my NAS
In a LAN dedicated server How do u add like hatch speed? for like breeding and the AllowDeprecatedStructures=true command?
in the gameusersettings.ini and game.ini files
Hello, yesterday i solve my problem but now i have new one
When i go to join to the server ark fall down and close the app
So it should work?
yes, just looking for the settings for you
Like even if i put new commands in the game.ini file which is located at \ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer
this should also count in the LAN server?
cause i added the AllowDeprecatedStructures=true command in the DefaultGameuserSettings but it didnt work
needs to be in the server ini files, not on your game
wait wheres that?
Pretty much the same path. You are running a dedicated server?
LAN dedicated server
Im gonna guess this is for single player? \ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer
Hello, I'm setting up a Primal Fear 100x server using my PC with Ark Server Manager. Could anyone help me with the correct values for GUS and Game.ini ?
cause im confused if it would even work
where ever you installed server, follow this path
\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer
Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini should be in there
Ok
I think this is essentially a CPU problem. Try to remove unimportant modes
i can help you in your native language. Puedo ayudar en español.
envíame mensaje privado.
if the server is nitrado server, go check the dashboard in nitrado website and take screenshot if you can.
we can't post links, files, or photos here.
which is dumb. toubleshooting requires files and photos sometimes.
Alright then, if the CPU showing no value, thats mean you need to remove some mods, mods right now glitching on console so bad
they should just have an automod that detects nudity in photos and blacklisted words.
Hey, seriously, sometimes, you get someone that has no idea what you're talking about, and you need a photo of what they're looking at to help explain it...
I had to go in a screen share with one of my server mates to track down an issue. Sometimes words just are not enough.
agreed.
"NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Gacha_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_Base_C")" why does this not work?
where are you trying to use it?
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Gacha_Character_BP",ToClassName="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_Base_C") put this in your game.ini
fjordur
sorry, should've given more detail. i meant which file. game.ini or gameusersettings.ini, but follow the instructions in my previous message and it should work.
do the ASE draconic chronicles wyverns not spawn on fjordur?
CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_Base_C is the draconic chronicles crystal wyvern, this is what you are trying to accomplish, correct?
oh uh im just trying to get the normal one
but i tested it and gachas still spawn
yeah, it'll null out with a non-existent character BP.
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Gacha_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_C")
it throws a silent error and ignores the code if given an incorrect BP. however Gacha_Character_BP_C was correct my bad.
ok thank you
make sure you put it in game.ini
if i replace gachas do i need to replace the spawn rate of gachas or what i change it with?
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_C",SpawnWeightMultiplier=1.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=false,SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0)
you can put that in game.ini as well to adjust the spawn rates. change overridespawnlimitpercentage to true then spawn limitpercentage lower numbers reduces maximum spawned counts and vice versa. spawn weight just increases the likelyhood of spawn in the specific container, which will have no effect if they are the only creature spawning in the spawn container, but if other things are spawning there, you may block other things from spawning if you turn it up too high.
capitalised or not for the "true"
How to in TEK Launcher turn on VR support in game?
Really appreciate this can you tell me how you found this out
For ASA are the new dinos baked into the game or do we need to install a mod?
the 2 new dinos are now part of the main game
On dedi's , these new dinos - arethey mods or included in the game?
I know the creator has the mods, but i'm confused if WC has built them in?
gotcha - but the lat dino was a mod, I'm confused hah
There are 2 versions, the mod version and the now vanilla version
so they have added the two new creatures into the base game, so its just part of the game now
any one know why they did it this way with these 2 new, but with gigantoraptor it was a mod?
gigantraptor was never supposed be on island an they rushed it out, so it was easier for them do as a mod.
it is now in base game too
Mod became base game Dino. Gigantoraptor was a mod to add it in a quick way....then it became a base game Dino. The 2 new dinos were originally third party mods done by garuga. The gigantoraptor was a community voted official Dino done by WC. The recent additions were adding those two third party mods as base game official dinos.

Sorry, wrong thread
@ornate comet
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.
thank you
Easier to add a dino in a mod. No base game code changes so less testing required. (No need to run a full regression test because you’re not touching the game).
People - how to play with my friend by LAN?
i need help im new to ark on pc and this the only thing i see
Hello, tell me the admin team for spawn Ceratosaurus pleas
cheat gmsummon "Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA_C" 150
THanks
Any trick to getting a steamcmd dedicated server to show up in the list?
so after my dumb nitrado server updates, I can remove the ceratosaurus mod without losing the ones I already have right?
Unless Garuga or Wildcard specifically mention it being able to be safely removed, no. The vanilla and mod versions are different.
From looking in Garuga's discord, eventually you'll be able to convert the modded ones to vanilla and then be able to remove the mod.
click the "show player servers" filter in the bottom right. it's a very dumb filtration system that makes no sense, but i've figured out that it is required when looking for servers that are hosted through steamcmd.
sidenote, it also hides servers of people who actually know how to manage a server extensively from players who might prefer that, but are unaware of what that filter does. by having it unchecked.
Nitrado servers are shown on the list without "show player servers".
all servers should show regardless.
They did, before that option was added
that option should only hide nitrado servers upon checking it, not hiding VPS servers while it is unchecked. most people don't notice it, and even more people have no idea what it does.
Thank you, I'll keep the mod installed until I hear otherwise
I would if you want your tamed ones to stay, yes.
Yeah… I tried that but still not showing
I used my keyboard and was able to connect via console commands but it doesn’t show in my list
dm me your server name. i'll see if i can assist.
Make sure all of your filters are correct, switch to "all maps" also
so we got our own server now. It´s pve tho which is why flyers can´t pick anything up. Where in the Nitrado webinterface can I find the setting to enable the setting?
EnableFlyerCarryPVE or something similar to that
thanks I got it
My SE is still stuck in a dc loop for everyone, did the patch fix it for anyone??
I just started a server and commands are just saying command not recognized and when I add cheat infront of it accepts it but nothing happens
can i take love ascended off yet?
it was added months ago.
Anyone know why the new creature saddles would be craftable on scorched but not island ?
@glacial helm you can ask here for server setup help
i put difficulty override to 20 and wiped all dinos and restarted server but everything is still level 150 max what am i doing wrong?
Anyone know how I can fix my server chat filter? Common words are blocked, I noticed I have a textchatfiltertype=0 in my gameusersettings.
Set MaxDifficulty=false
does anyone know how i can make a ark for me and my friends i play on pc and they plax on xbox [ark evolved]
For ASE you need the Windows (Xbox) version for crossplay for starters. You can self-host a server on that game with Windows but it’s a little trickier and doesn’t work the same. I have no first hand experience of this, just remember seeing a long post thread about it on official forums. The only other alternative for ASE crossplay with Xbox is to rent from Nitrado - you’d still need the Windows version.
I am so confused...somehow our dinos can reach level 637 wild...even tho difficulty is at 7...we want max wild dinos to be 210
Cave dinos will reach double your max dino. Its the way the game is. You can recode every cave dino one by one to spawn lower via Beacon but its a bit of work there to do it.
...it was a rex...a 637 rex
alright it´s a mod map issue
Nitrado server keeps rebooting, goes to updating soon as it goes to restart. It's done this like 10 times now, any suggestions?
Mine kept doing the same thing until I removed the Ceratosaurus and Xiphiactinus mods, now the only one not working is my Svartalheim map
is it hard to edit commands on a LAN dedicated server?
what do you mean by this? if you mean ini that has a file just like singleplayer to edit.
if you mean ingame commands you use enablecheats password (if you set one) to become admin.
can i do that without removing the shiny mod tho, not sure where else it comes from
Anyone able to help me with regards why alpha leeds aren't spawning on my server? 🤔
I’m playing single player console on the island and I’m trying to find a way to set difficulty to 5, can anyone help me all my Dino’s keep being increments of 4 help😭
set max difficulty to true or check the box for it
The Shiny mod hasn't caused me any issues
then where does the ceratosaurus come from?
Ceratosaurus is a base game dino as of Friday. See the Community Crunch and Fridays patch notes.
thx
Can anyone help me with a problem? My game after this update every time I look ahead the fps drops from 50 to 10 how to solve it?
Does anyone here know if there is a guide in ark wiki or here if it is possible to make a .bat for copying and pasting folders into a new directory and also have it rename it (like island into islandxx-xx-xx for the backup date)
Found a post on stackoverflow which seems to do it and I assume if it can do it with files it can do it with whole folders.
I mean is that its kinda confusing setting up a LAN dedicated server for me on where to add in commands and stuff
been a while since i've looked... is there a linux server for ASA yet?
This coming Friday ?
You can't take the cera mod of yet ...
I testet on our uofficielle server and it becomes to white raptors in cryo
Because you cannot remove the mod. It's separate from the base game xiph.
It was added to the base game 3 days ago, see #patch-notes. Regardless, you cannot remove the mod if you don't want to lose your modded tames. See pinned messages.
Anyone here know how to setup cluster on a dedicated Linux ?
Did they fix it yet at work
Make sure to keep an eye on #announcements and #patch-notes for any news regarding mods for Microsoft versions of ASA.
Thanks
Last Friday. Please read thru the patch notes. I was answering where the mod came from, not if it can be removed. The dino is already in the base game. You CAN remove the mod but any Ceratos you tamed previously will poof. Garuga is going to add a method to keep them at a later date so it can eventually be removed.
Nothin yet. We still cannot play and waiting.
This is crazy this the whole weekend and still
that it is, they should of rolled back the client/servers till they had it fixed. to me it shows how much they care about there player base giving apologies and saying its priority 3 days ago means nothing
It’s the console approach. Sony and Microsoft approve everything released.
So out of nowhere on a server I play on, it crashed and then when everyone was logging back in all of our engrams were red and showed 999 is there a fix for this?
ASE or ASA? have you tried joining with IP
Shutdown, reapply your ini files and start back up again.
Ok. I’ll let the owner know
Sounds like your ini settings wiped. Reupload them
Thank you
anybody knows why when i put the command settings for hatching and breeding it doesnt work?
im doing a LAN dedicated server and i put them in ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer in the game.ini file but shit is not working
dinos still have a 24 hour breeding interval
#Nitrado #Unnofficial server #43.9 version
Does anyone have a problem with random things disappearing from random people please?
Things from vaults such as structures, items from dedicated storage, elements from engines or dinos?
Random vaults or refrigerators or dedicateds are epmty.
After the server rollback, everything came back for some people and disappeared for others.
How are you checking it didn't work? Them setting normally only affect new timers and don't change ones that are already running
at first we thought the setting were setted for it to be at max 24 hours since it was at 0.4
then we changed it to 0.04 and i tamed some random dinos to breed
interval was still 24 hrs
You put them under the right [section] in the game.ini (not home so can't check section header)
I did put them under the settings that they were supposed to be placed under
unless they are supposed to be in the GameUserSettings.ini
does anybody have any ideas for a server hosting service i tried using nitrado but it broke after 1 or 2 months
instead of the game.ini
I Think they go in game.ini, I use dynamic config for them settings so I could be wrong though
gcmt and gcmp commands work but can not place items whitelist removed so technically password will not work because of whitelist not being represented this is something evolved got right in this regards as far as console ive seen password for console can not be set up if there is no place to put a admin password in the first place any plans for fix??
i chat gpted this XD let me see if the instructions it gave me works
Apex
I fixed the problem
Instead of putting it in game.ini i gotta put it int he User one then add the session name in the session settings
I’m intrigued lol
Here’s an odd problem. I have a 2 server cluster. My friends can join my scorched earth server with no problems. But when they try to get onto my Island server, which is my original server, that had other people on it, it times out. Even from inside the cluster. Running mods but nothing crazy and the mod lists are identical. Any ideas friends?
firewall
I have port forwarded everything. I have had people on the same server before. I haven’t changed any ports or anything. I moved but my ISP unlocked everything. I have Open NAT.
thye only take effect once any timers in the world run down.
so they will have to wait out the current timers, any eggs , babies etc already in the world wont take new settings . must be fresh in the world with the new settings
You need to specify the ports that the servers are running on in their configs. They can't share the same ports either for Steam Query or for the game port. Then you need to make sure those ports are forwarded to your PC from your router
It being "open" doesn't apply - the router needs to know which device on your network to forward that traffic to.
It’s 7777 I just checked battlemetrics
And what is the other server running?
7779
And the query ports?
25015-25018
So one server is 25015 and one is... 25017 I assume?
ye but before the settings didnt work tested it with new dinos
Yessir
well now since 1 of the settings that wasnt working is working now i rather ask gpt for help than go on reddit to figure shit out
Then it's likely a firewall issue. Your port forwarding is not setup correctly or there is a seperate firewall interferring somewhere
are you stopping the server before opening the settings to change them?
took me like hours piecing information just to start a server where i could just ask gpt to give me the 6 steps instructions
yep always restart the server when changing settings
Maybe my 7777 is jacked up. I’m going to hard set it to 7778 and move my other one up. Question, if I keep adding servers to the cluster do I keep walking the port up??? Is there a limit??? Ty in advance homies.
you just need a port and the next one up available. different programs use different ports, so you just need to make sure it's not taken already
like port 80 is typically occupied by http requests
No limit, just keep increasing the port values. Just make sure you forward them correctly. For UDP ports, you want to forward that port and the one above it. For TCP you can just forward it directly
o7
for note asa doesnt use or need query ports , that is the old ase server listing port for steam.
asa runs on eos and just uses the one udp to connect and be listed
For real?
yep 100% , alot the server start up commands are completely wrong for asa , heres an example of mine that will work fine ,
Start C:\arkserver1\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willzlaptop" -port=7777 -winlivemaxplayers=10
Yeah that's basically what I have, I just had a query port going because I assumed it was still using Steam for the server browser API
I can cut that out now. Thanks for the info
port 7777 is default and not needed if that's the port used for the server
Still best practice to specify the port so that it's consistent across multiple servers
mmmhm , have fun not adding it if u have a cluster 🙂 the servers will switch between 7777 and 7778 depending which is started first 🙂
it's actually not recommended to put info in the launch parameters vs putting them in the ini
specify the port in GameUserSettings.ini
good luck trying that in asa
i have a cluster running like that in asa
i cud not get it work, the only way i can change an asa server port is by using -port=xxxx
I have my ports specified in my .ini actually, although for some reason I had to append winlivemaxplayers to my bat file in order to get it to correctly show in the list
Probably user error on my part, but haven't cared to troubleshoot it
under [SessionSettings] in GameUserSettings.ini, have "Port=####"
my island is set to 7777 and scorched set to 7779 that way
You don’t need them 2 apart either
max players is only via the launch param
yea i know the correct place and header, it wont work when i set them up, maybe they fixed it now , maybe i somehow got it wrong .
others have said ?port=xxxx will work, again alot people it wont work for
I do it your way, W1llz. Not had any issues.
yea it works, i know it works that way so recommend it.
im gonna test via ini again when i get chance though, just becuase im curious now lolz
If only there was official documentation.
yea we can dream
if you do try that, make sure it's not in both launch params and the ini at the same time
im curious what would happen if they had different ports specified
i think it wud go from the launch parameter first as server reads those first before reading ini far as i know , otherwise you cud set mods an stuff in the ini id think
i'm inclined to agree, but i wonder if ini would overwrite it
dunno, i find out when i get a chance 🙂
I wouldn’t bet against it writing the launch parameter into the ini file
how do you make modded ark evolved server load mods faster?
better hardware
anything else?
more optimized game
how
lol you cant do that. the game is badly made
true
hardware is all you can do on your end
these mfs want us to buy a 30$ game and they dont even optimize it
Soo not sure if this the correct channel for this but I was wondering if anyone else has had troubles running mods on their servers/solos?
They are working on it
Thats exactly what he said, now you are catching on! 😉
Launch parameters override the ini, that's how you can run multiple maps from same install folder
ah. i was wondering how people were doing that
ok so im looking to cluster my servers together and havent done it before, what do i need to do
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Cross-ARK_Data_Transfer has info on setting the cluster id and cluster dir
thanks
Ok..thx
Hello there, CustomDynamicConfigUrl not working with commandline ?
hello, somone with experience in makeing gigantoraptor spawning in se?
i used this
[ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides]
bUseCorpseLocator=True
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesCanyons_C",NPCSpawnEntries=
((AnEntryName=Gigantoraptor
("/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=
(1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=
((NPCClass=/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C
but is not spawning nothing
is the code right? what file i need to modified putting this inside?
dunno bout the code but its under the wrong header
what you mean? im completley new abouth this kind of things
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
you shud have that header in the game.ini
that code wud go beneath that
you currently have it under this header , [ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides]
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bUseCorpseLocator=True
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesCanyons_C",NPCSpawnEntries=
((AnEntryName=Gigantoraptor
("/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=
(1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=
((NPCClass=/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C
like this?
in the game ini the top header shud be [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
u put that code beneath that
but i also noticed the code is wrong as there isnt any closing parenthesis
can you help me fix it?
no sorry im hopeless with spawn entries, best advice i have is look into ark beacon omni app/program..
although i think spawn entries are paid version .
you can try here too for all the free info ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
ok but when you say there is no closing parenthesis, what do you mean?
so you have the code opening a load brackets (
but there not closed at the end . with )))
for any opening bracket it needs a closing bracket
realy thanks
there is no one more expert of spawing command? pleased ive tried everithing but its not working
the code looks like one another user here posted to me , thundergod
i believe it works fine if it inputted correctly and it has the updated file paths so it shud work in the correct location of the game ini .
stop the server , wait a few mins, edit the files, save it , restart server, dino wipe and see if works
Adjust numbers as needed. you were missing some parts of the ini entry
edit: was missing a comma and removed the spaces
you were missing the start of the "NPCsToSpawn=" completely
and this should be putted in the game ini file? it can work even for other creature changin the bp and location?
yes, in the game.ini. I've only tried it with the gigantoraptor. worked for me...others have tried it with other dinos and not had success
just copy that code lines and put at the end of the game ini file, right?
yeah
i already told you it needs to go under the correct header, it can go anywhere under that header on its own line
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
shoving it at the bottom wont wrok becuase of asa using another header
game.ini only usually has the one header
gameusersettings.ini frequently has more than one
ase did , asa now has this header too [ShooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides]
its normal that is sooo much longer than the other lines?
yes, it cannot have spaces
yea its alot code
any strings usually should be enclosed by quotes ""
like "/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"
I also didn't check for correct paths in that....if you get them from the wiki they should be correct as I corrected it on there recently
you mean the code you wrote now over there is not correct?
but does the corpse locator actually work?
I was the one that corrected the path for the Gigantoraptor when it got moved into the base game, so unless someone else edited it since, it should be correct. The one located under spawn command on this page: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Gigantoraptor
yea , they fixed it using that override if i rem rightly, its been a while since i played it deffo was fixed last time i played , i.e gave the death beam out the sky
ok thanks a lot , realy helpfull, and lets hope it work , testin right now
yeah no one has edited it since I did
mmmmmmmmm it crushed 2 times, not a good sign
try this instead:
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesCanyons_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Gigantoraptor",EntryWeight=0.15,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/Gigantoraptor_Character_BP.Gigantoraptor_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
no entry weight was assigned
edit: missing an ending quote
I also added to the Max Percentage part as it wasn't in your original ini entry
adjust Entry weight and Max Percentage to get the right number you want
what those number means? i mean what i have to change for what effect?
if you look at the spawn entries page, you'll see the general numbers for entry weights they give everything for the various maps (ASE is behind a tab via this link) https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_entries#ARK:_Survival_Ascended-0
When it chooses to spawn a new dinos in a spawn group the weight will raise or lower the chances of that dino being picked.
The max percentage is the max percentage of all dinos on the map
there are somewhere the entries for SE? cause here i see only the island
not yet. I took a shot in the dark trying an ASE spawn container entry for scorched
ok thanks a lot, realy
I've been playing an ark non-dedicated session with some friends lately but the guy hosting it doesn't want to play anymore, I was wondering if its possible for him to somehow send me the world file and is it possible for me to then host it myself instead of making an entirely new world?
never tried it but moving a save over should work, just drop it in the same directory they have it in within your installation
It's been a minute for me for the update that added them to the base game, but is it safe to remove the Gigantoraptor and Ceratosaurus mods?
gigantoraptor yes. ceratosaurus will be distinct from it's mod version, so if you remove it, any dinos of that mod will go away
Is there any difference between them aside from being base game and modded?
I think I saw that garuga was looking for a way to convert existing dinos over, but nothing exists right now to do that
I think they made some adjustments to it before adding it to the game, but I don't know the details of those
Alright, thank you. I will remove both of them in case I get double cerato spawns lol
ok @native wave im trying a thing
now that the gigantoraptor work, im trying to see if the same thing can be done with the evo giga of the paleo mod
im trying using the same code changing the zone and the bp
good luck
it already crushed 3 times, but i notuiced i was missing 2 )) at the end of the code, now i correct and re-try
every line should have a comma if additional entries follow it, and every bracket should have an ending bracket
no , down again
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesDunes_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="EVO_Giga",EntryWeight=0.15,NPCsToSpawn=("/PA_EVO_Pack_01/Dinos/EVO_Giga/EVO_Giga_Character_BP.EVO_Giga_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 35"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/PA_EVO_Pack_01/Dinos/EVO_Giga/EVO_Giga_Character_BP.EVO_Giga_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 35",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
it seems correct to you? @native wave
ok thanks
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesDunes_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="EVO_Giga",EntryWeight=0.15,NPCsToSpawn=("/PA_EVO_Pack_01/Dinos/EVO_Giga/EVO_Giga_Character_BP.EVO_Giga_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=1500)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/PA_EVO_Pack_01/Dinos/EVO_Giga/EVO_Giga_Character_BP.EVO_Giga_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.01)))
looks like you were trying to force spawn a level 500? All it wants for that parameter is the blueprint path (and you had a few too many quotes), which I've slightly changed in both cases as I think the _C is necessary.
no problem
never enough
So if I read this right I can now remove the Gigantoraptor mod from my Nitrado server with no issues?
Yes
How do I create a server for cross play?
how do i limit how many tames a tribe can have out on ASA
I have a problem with a unofficial server ad.
Will not delete, will not edit (although it will delete the main information), cannot repost And cannot delete ad
I had a problem with my server directory.
(I've asked mods for help but no use & deleted and reinstalled discord just to be sure)
You posted one an hour ago you will have to wait the 5 hour cooldown. Also they can't be edited
@plush crystal thank you! You're the best!
We have a player who we previously banned in our server, we then went to unban her to let her join again however every time she tries to log in she is banned again. It keeps re-banning her even though we have unbanned her, is there a setting we accidentally enabled to re-ban?
in the GameUserSettings.ini file. setting named MaxPersonalTamedDinos
under [ServerSettings] header
Have they released Linux binaries for the server files yet?
Hey guys - Does anyone know the official Gigantoraptor creature ID path ?
Work with the command line ? 🙂
Anyone got a hemoglobin cocktail engram ID
-UseDynamicConfig in the bat file and CustomDynamicConfigUrl= in GUS if you want to use a custom and not official rates
URL I use http don't know if it works with https on ASA, ASE https didn't work
This is crazy still no update wtf wildcard. It's been since friday
It’s Microsoft certification that’s the issue. You need to wait for them to approve any updates (along with Sony for PS5).
Wish I could run a server though my other xbox
Has anyone figured out, what number is set the mating interval too if I want 8 hours in between Rex mating?
matingintervalmultiplier=0.2
will give them a cooldown timer of between 3h36mins and 9hrs36mins
You cant get exact as dinos mating cooldown varies between them , i used ark beacon omni app/program to get th einfo, i highly recomend it , so you can get exact how you want, the free version does all the breeding multipliers
anyone know the giga raptor blueprint path for a saddle ?
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Gigantoraptor path in the spawn command dropdown
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Gigantoraptor_Saddle in the spawn command dropdown
Hello, tell me the command to spawn the oasis of the dinosaur please
Is that definitly the official path as its not like the normal saddle BP ?
ASA Nitrado . Disappearing characters, dinos, resources. What's the problem?
Nitrado
Happens to my server too. I’ve had people lose resources and podded dinos. I’m on unofficial dedicated.
Okay so
I know this has been gone over a billion times, but I'm confused on port forwarding
I added 7777, 7778, 27015, and 27020 to mine, and while I can join the dedicated, my friend cannot
What’s the name of your server?
Ottopia
I don't have any mods or anything added to it, at this point I'm just trying to make it joinable
It’s showing on Battlemetrics. Although it’s showing two servers. One dead, one alive
The dead one is the Nitrado server we were hosting, it's been down for 2 days and we're fed up.
So I decided to use my laptop as a dedicated host.
I'm not sure if it's something I did wrong or what
well, you have one that is alive, sent the screenshot in DM
if it's ASA, you only need 7777 and 27020 from your list of ports
asa only uses the udp port, doesnt need query port , not used or needed .
it needs to be forwarded in firewall incoming rules and through the router both as a udp port with what ever port you set, default is 7777udp
I can say without a doubt the path for the gigantoraptor itself is accurate, I'm the one that changed it on the wiki (not the one that found it...that was TacticianLyra) after it was added to the base game. It's what I'm using on my Scorched map to add it to spawn containers. The saddle gfi I have not verified yet....it's what I found when I looked up the saddle on the wiki
yeah the pathway for the dino is definitly correct, thank you for adding that, trying to add it to my starter kit but its the saddle that im having a problem with xD
Hey, does anyone know why I can't find any servers? I still play ASE because of the maps and stuff, but since last week I can't find any servers, no matter how long I wait to search. Does anyone know why that is? If I cancel the search and try to restart, it says no servers found and I can't press refresh. I always have to restart the game. But then no servers are found either! (Console)
"Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Gigantoraptor/PrimalItemArmor_GigantoraptorSaddle.PrimalItemArmor_GigantoraptorSaddle'"
got it from beacon and confirmed it in game
You legend ! 😄
gotta give credit to beacon....they had both the gigatoraptor and faso saddles on their site
Thats amazing, been searching for ages haha
faso and gigatoraptor saddle blueprint paths have been added to the wiki
How anyone runs a server without Beacon is beyond me.... just wasting hours of your lives lol
Anyone know why console admin mode doesn’t work on servers but works fine in solo play?
Anyone know how to make element transferable between maps? Like using it to craft compasses or soap
It affects all server owners i guess...
On our cluster the same... 50/50 bug.. and also sometimes losing items and dinos randomly. It's often frustration.
Hope they will fix that one day or they lose more players over the time.
it's not your fault, pleinx. It's affecting us all
Thats exactly what i said 🙂
Nvm…it was just a setting that wasn’t turned on
My buddy released a nice mod called 50 50 cleanup that will clear 50 50 on restart for you
When they fix it, it'll be great.
Its not the problem the clean the things. The problem is that items/chars/dinos not only get cloned to 50/50. Another problem with 50/50 is on (for now we found this issue only on SE) that if you remove at 50/50 e.g. a foundation, it could happen that in the players base this foundation disappears/destroys.
Now you can imagine what happend, if you had cryofridge on top of that foundation.
Thats why i decided in my cluster the admins and players: keep out of 50/50. We only remove the dinos there if they cloned. If not, we give the dino the players back.
Its annoying and needs lot of manual affort.
So be careful if you remove things from 50/50 since SE release.
So nice idea with mod, but really bad for the players which playing on this servers.
Odd, I have not seen that at all. It's only been duplicated items and killing the players at 50.50 actually fixes their character.
-passivemods=6666,5555,4444```
Is this the correct way of using this? and where do i place it in the INI configs?
hey guys still having issues hosting a server, i forgot who pinged me saying to dm them, but here’s my console when i start the server (ports forwarded, firewall allowed etc etc..) and on battlemetrics . com it says my status is dead
well i would put my console but cant put images lol
those are server start commandline arguments, they do not go in the ini and it wud be the wrong way to use them how u show
^^ my console if anyone has advice
Yes, get beacon, it will make your life 1000x easier when configuring a server
-ForceRespawnDinos -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -noundermeshkilling -mods=9999,8888,7777 -passivemods=6666,5555,4444
like this then?
almost, the passive mod argument is used to make the mod assets avail;ible in game whilst blocking its other effects , so u wud be ,
-mods=9999,8888,7777 -passivemods=9999,8888,7777
It is unknow if it works with any other mods than the two wildcard used it for when they had issues
i deleted it but it really isnt an issue, anyone can find it wuth the info u gave , plus they default to port 7777
Before SE it was only cloned. But like i said, its not longer only cloned. We had this seen in Action. Me at 50/50 who destroys the structures, the other in the origin base of the Tribe.
Or, its like you have to wait for the next server restart. That could be possible. Then its only a Clone after rebooting
lol ok, removed it. unfortunately still timing out when trying to join and don't see it on the server list.
no worries, i never worry bout it, it just an adress like any other adress, peopl get overly worried about it.
as for the joining issue, are you 100% certain port 777udp is forwarded inbound in windows firewall and your router and any other antivirus software u might be using
yep 100%
Which could be why the mod is working so well for me, because it just demos at restart.
Just sharing my experience
even have 7778, and the other one when i dont remeber off the top of my head
aight gimme a few minutes , gonna try join it myself to confirm there open then
sure thanks for your help : )
sometimes people get nat loopback issues, i dont know what it means or how to fix it as i know next to nothing on networking. some isp also block incoming connections, will test if i can join , that will confirm if the issue is with you or the server and its forwarding
asa only needs the one udp port that you set to be forwarded , then its joinable
i looked into that too, i don't have NAT loopback from what i looked into my isp, and it does not block connections it says as well.
dunno, my brother has made servers for other games before and had him help me out, not sure whats goin on
Yeah it could be possible that WC checks already after restart is it clone or not. So means the structures at 50/50 Not longer synced to the origin base.
Do you know which command he is using in the mod to destroy the structures/chars/Dinos?
Because i have all the Data. Means i have all structures/dino IDs already. Is there Something Like "Cheat destroyStructureId 1234556"?
Or a CCC Cheat? This i have too (x,y,z coords)
Can someone tell me how to transfer things from se to island? Do I have to go start over on a se server?
officials still has scorched downloads disabled so if you were to join it then yes, only your survivor could go.
unofficials and Singleplayer is up to the owner.
it times me out too, you will have to recheck your port forwarding as something is blocking the connection
No, I dont have the source files. I imagine it's using a combination of AOE destroy commands, but thats purely speculation. I also get a discord webhook output to let me know how much has been destroyed, and how many things are slightly outside of the radius and not effected
Okay i'll checkout his DC.
Can you send me a example of the Report please via DM?
i got rid of an antivirus for my websites, seeing if that does anything 🤷♀️
yea any antivirus will block incoming connections, you would of needed to put an exception through it too
tbh imo a/v are just a scam, windows defender does its job better than most those things
well good news, i can join from my internal ip which i couldn't before, but still timing out with external, so I'll see what I can do about that
well thats a step in the right direction, atleast you know it was a port forwarding/connection issue 🙂
my network was on NAT only which can be an issue, it's changed now so that should help, gonna restart the server and test it with external ip
Have they not updated the server version on steamcmd yet? I'm still showing 41.28
your quite a few behind on that , been a major version since
steamcmd is saying it's up-to-date. Something I'm doing wrong?
app_update 445400
likely yea, update batch file shud look somrting like this . but using with your file paths
start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit
validate isnt strictly needed but it takes a few seconds an i like to uses it
2430930?
thats client number iirc, see how i did it above, i know that works
yes
ah, dang. Yeah, I was running the update on the wrong app id. Thanks!
apparently 445400 is sotf
i see lol, well i just updated mine an the latest version is v43.12
yep, just updated to 43.12 also. I'm glad too... I didn't want to have to go into steam and pull the older client again 🤣
I don't run my server using beacon...it is only a source of information via a web search. Turns out if you go through this page:
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
and select the entries you want to include, you can build your own inis and startup command. That's exactly what I did when I built my ASA servers after wanting to clean up my existing inis from ASE. Stuff like breeding settings are settings I've been working on since around the time Ragnarok originally launched. Sure, if you're just jumping into server hosting, Beacon can be a big help, but it's absolutely not required to run a server.
never had issues with 50/50 on ASA. And only a couple times on ASE.
never had issues with disappearing dinos, items, or inventories.
Hi there, question, does anyone know the level limit on items that can transfer to scorched earth? My game crashes every time I try and transfer my level 755 ascended axe or any high level ascended Dino saddles to scorched. And it’s a friends private severe… would love info on how to solve it or if it’s even possible
Does anyone know why the fertilized eggs on my server stack?
How to connect 2 LAN dedicated servers to one cluster?
Aight actual tip for those having frame issues in SP: turn off fluid and foliage interaction
it ain't the dinos, it's the environment
Cannot believe, sorry 🙂
All have this problem over time and if the players and buildings increase. Also the officials.
is anybody elses unofficial server crashing on startup, I load in and it imeediately crashes, everytime
I've restarted my server, and removed a couple mods as well, but it's still not working, I'm on xbox series s, and if you're just going to try and roast me for what platform/console I play on don't even bother responding unless you have an actual solution to the issue
What mods do you have? Nevermore Taxidermy and the latest Super Cryo Storage will cause this, for example. It looks like Taxidermy has at least partial details for the Wyvern Zombie Fire from Fear Evolved in ASE and it looks as though this may be crashing the server when SCS does a dino scan on server startup.
I do have scs, but removing it would get rid of all those dinos I have cryoed, is there any way around that?
Nope. My server is down until it can be resolved. If you have issues with mod combinations, I’d suggest posting it in the SCS discord.
Okay thank you
Sent you an invite in case you don’t have it
I moved from PS to PC i have a good number of 4K hours and joining back from a long break from the game, i oringinally was an Owner of an Alpha on a Small Tribes server which unfortunately go raided by speed cheaters. I'm hoping to join a Small Tribes on Assended, I can do pretty much anything my main skills are leadership pvp and base design. I'm very active and around so feel free to DM me.
CosmeticWhitelistOverride="URL"
Doesn't work. Is there another code?
Maybe only like 15% of cosmetics we've tried actually work.
Some will show in the cosmetic list, like ones from spotlight vids but can't apply them to anything
Ive just redownloaded ark and my whole pc lags out everytime im on a local server
I have 32gb ram and a 3060 before i uninstalled it this was never a problem any help? i have 10 mods installed
The cosmetics from the lastest crunch are not on the oficial list
They said it's added, but the link still outdated
Hi, i have not played since some years but now i want to make a server for me and my son. Ark server manager is crashing so there is an app or a way to make my server easily? i dont want to modify the files directly. Tanks
Hello, I have a problem, some of my players have a problem with the following mods: Klinger Additional Rustic Building | Arkitect Structures Remastered, they cannot pose the structures of this mod, while the others can. Someone know why?
Random question but was the level override ever fixed? At launch it would cap you at 135 regardless of what you set up the ramp/max level to be.
if i try to join my server it says joining failed connection timeout what do i need to do
Ask the players who are having issues to remove and reinstall the mod.
update server work
Anyone having issues with players not being able to connect to servers?
Nitrado , ark Asa I have a PvP server but no option for tribe alliance is there a line of code I can put in so that the tribe can have 1 ally with only 2 tribes per alliance
Beacon doesn't "run servers ", it simply builds inis with a nice gui.
To each their own. You can stay dialing in breeding since rag released where someone could use the free breeding multipliers section of beacon to dial their breeding down to the second in under a minute.
If people choose to make their life harder by not utilizing purpose built tools, more power to them!
Not really, it's now 155
yo i cant join my server without crashing
So the override still wont let you exceed what the normal cap + bonus would be then?
Sadly
anyone knows how to fix
Gonna have to start removing mods till it lets you join
When did I say it "run servers"? I know what it is and what it does. Stop with the condescending bullshit.
my loading if i want to join just takes to long how to fix it
Wasn't my intention at all. Apologies if I came across that way. Your first line was "I don't run my servers with beacon "
Hoping just a miscommunication
@everyone
please help me i cant join a server and its taking to long and then it just returns me to home page
pls bro i cant do anything
"Using beacon"...as in a tool I use while preparing to run the server. I use vs code instead...though just for editing files. I can also manipulate docker containers with it, so I could, if I wanted to, actually run my servers. I don't though for my game servers, I use pterodactyl to manage those.
Anyone happen to know what the spawn command is for Abyssal Xiphactinus??
Why is it that everytime I join any server, the server is just gone after a few days. I put all the work in building then it disappears. This is on official and unofficial servers and it really just makes me not want to even play
Can you transfer between the modded maps. Like make a big transfer cluster
There's no connection between official and unofficial servers. So you are just unlucky that the servers you have joined have gone down. Official servers have a lot of problems and frequently have downtime.
Unofficial servers are run by player for players. Some are rented (nitrado run a lot, but there are other hosts if you selfhost), some are run on their own hardware (like I have). Reasons why servers go down range from crashing to save corruption, to mod conflicts causing crashes, to the owners not being able to pay their bill, hardware failures, or the owner just not wanting to play anymore.
Unless you run your own all of these you will probably deal with at some point. Just keep trying to find a stable server...or get the hardware to run your own, or go to single player where you don't have to deal with servers going down, but single player can have its own issues.
Oh yeah I know official and unofficial are different and I get that official servers are up and down often.
I have a friend who has created unofficial servers and she even has issues with the game telling her her server doesn't exist anymore after she's even played on her own server a few days
Running servers for an early access game is a mixed bag. I had one of my servers go down because they changed the blueprint path for the gigantoraptor and didn't tell anyone. Over came that so now waiting for the next thing to go wrong.
Join clusters that advertise how long they have been up and say things like "no wipe" and you will likely have better luck. Some clusters just werent made for longevity. Best to look for the ones that are.
I wanted longevity, so I got the hardware to run my own. Renting servers is not a way to ensure longevity. Been there done that..
Hate nitrado now. The greatest control you have is when you run your own.
I’m trying to make a word, but in the Dino amount it doesn’t let me put more than 1.0
Tell us something we dont all share lol
I dont think you will find ANYONE that likes them.
But if you live in the boonies, not alot of choices there.
I don't live in the boonies...but not near a big city either. All you need is decent internet access. You're not forced to use nitrado if you can selfhost it...and that includes renting hardware. Buying hardware can get expensive...helps if you have a local electronics recycler that deals on ebay and gets hardware from a local worldwide corporate hq. Local pickup is a great way to avoid shipping charges.
If you host on nitrado...they control what can go in their forms, and you can't do anything about that.
Okay
And power that doesnt go out.
it used to be this in gus.ini for ase , but you do not want to go higher on a nitrado server , they lag enough as it is ,
DinoCountMultiplier=1
higher is more , lower less
Which is why they limit the form
the form is just there shitty laggy user interface , it just makes it easier for anyone that is to lay to google the actual ini lines
I wonder if they validate entries. Just because they limit client side doesn't mean they check for valid values...and there's always browser inspection tools
And if they don't do that...that's not great for security of their systems
i dont know what they do on the user interface side but you have full access to the ini anyway , so can be edited however you want. I learned lessons over the years dealing with them , better to just do it yoursef as 90% of there support no fuck all and cant even be arsed to use google
am i able to add mods to my switch nitrado server or are they not compatiable on switch
Probably a question for the Nitrado discord tbh
no mods on switch version
bump
if you want a mod spawn command , best place to try is the mods own discord
Hello everyone, im just tried to create a dedicated server but i failed. Can someone help me with creating server please
i can dm you a guide i wrote in txt file to make an ark ascended server on windows , a few people have got servers running from it
im just thinking normal ark not ascended, but i will be appreciate it
it wont help for evolved , the commands are a lil differnt .
theres millions of guides on internet for evolved , or try here
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup
thank you so much, i will check it ofcourse
and how to do cluster servers : )
to much codes, im so confused 😄 @distant hearth thank you so much
its simple enough once u understand it , get one server up an running first , once u can join that. worry about setting the next one up and clustering them
I'm looking for the base game spawn command
you didn't ask for the base game command, you asked for a modded version https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Xiphactinus
you can find the base game command under "spawn command" on the right side
looking for a mentor : )
Yea, I just got told that the veriations of the modded versions were not added to the base game versions...for some reason...but yea, thanks ^^
yeah they are only adding the base versions of those garuga dinos
does anyone have a private server that uses the "dynamic config" option to follow official rate changes and know if i was to change the actual breeding to 2x permanent instead of official would the rates still auto change and leave the breeding stuff alone?
@lapis quest most of the mods don't work on unofficial. There's a whitelist ini we can add that's meant to make all custom cosmetics work, but it doesn't. There's 6 pages of them and maybe 2 pages work. Most of the rest either don't show up in game at all or do not can't be placed onto anything
dynamic will always override anything you set manually,
live with official rates or, set it something like 4x permanantly an leave it alone.
or setup your own url for the 2x u want and change it each time official does its rates
I know, we use the oficial link on our server
I was talking about those they showcased on last weeks crunch
The official link?
servers use official's list by default.
There was whitelist url thing you posted a bit back, that allows all custom cosmetics. But it doesn't. Is there one that work?
@bleak ivy
it works for me. where did you put it?
I'm looking for an admin who will share her/his experiences with me.
Hi guys can anyone help me at all… I purchased a Nitrado server for Asa via windows 10 app for my Xbox, I set everything up named my server done the coding deployed it and everything. Added the mods I wanted and went to start up the server and it’s constantly restarting like it’s in a loop. I’ve tried reinstalling it on the web interface through Nitrado and that hasn’t worked. What else can I do apart from wait for Nitrado to get back to me with a solution?
@bleak ivy in the Gus
Tried it with and without the " cos when ya copy and paste they " vanish.
Where in Gus did you place?
Fancy weapons, skin cosmetics dedicated, modern structure skins and deimos cosmetics female all don't work. Can't attach them to anything in cosmetics screen and don't attack the outlines either.
I put mine under server settings. mine doesn't have the quotes.
Anyone used the Desmodus mod for ASA? I think i've managed to get the spawn mapped, but the saddle item listed on the mod page doesn't list an Engram ID so it can be force added. any suggestions?
Join the mods discord and look for the mod faqs channel. If it doesnt have a discord, request this information in the mod page comments on the curseforge website.
"request this information in the mod page comments on the curseforge website." which they can totally disable leaving you no recourse to get the information about the mod you need. If I get in that position with a mod, it gets uninstalled.
I messaged the creator, hoping for a reply. We'll see I guess. If all else fails I'll command it in...
In which case you are sol, and shouldnt use the mod. Btw, did you mean to tag me? I was helping to answer a question.
was responding to what you said....adding that bit of info, so yeah
Ah ok then. Likely good to tag the og as well. As the expansion would serve his interests better I think.
true
it annoys me when mod creators don't offer basic support like proper documentation for their mod. if you're going radio silent, at least have adequate docs for it
Same. Several popular mods have no discord and no comments enabled. I end up panning them to the dismay of many.
of course....WC devs don't update their wiki for the most part and rely on volunteers from the community to do it...which is documenation for their game....so not exactly setting a great example
Thanks I'll try that
Thanks a whole bunch.
They're working 😁
There a way to fix megalosaurus spawns on SP? I only ever find a single one on the map at any given time, always in the same cave
Does anyone know how to fix the Mini map resetting thing?
How to disable mesh killing on pve server or its disabled by default?
Anyone else having issues transferring?
There's always issues transferring. It's an at-your-own-risk thing.
Does anyone know how to fix the Mini map resetting and explorer note resetting?
is it safe to remove love evolved yet?
Mine did that when I made my new server about a month back. Only way I got it fixed was reinstalling the server a few times until it finally let me in the do the coding
i did that almost instantly, and my players retained their emotes.
Thank god lol. I have been waiting for an announcement forever about that but haven't seen anything
anyone else having issues updating servers to 43.14?
yeah, my players retained the emotes from each of the event mods.
the emote items even still existed.
Has anyone had problems with the mini map resetting as well as the explorer notes?
what did you do that may have caused this? was it just random, or have you erased any save files, and/or done a recent rollback/backup load recently?
things like this can also happen when moving files, so if you have transferred hosts at any point recently, your save files may have gotten corrupted, and if you have a set of backup saves that you know are from before this happened, you could try replacing your current files with those.
I am throwing this question out there so anyone can reply to it but if i check eventviewer it tells me shootergame (it is a computer just hosting cluster) runs out of memory. But 128gb memory i thought was more than enough for the 4 servers i run right now. And sometimes the os freeze. I can move the mouse but explorer and all software is dead. The only constant i have seen now is that there was an update to windows defender the computer downloaded around the same time. This has happend 2-3 times now.
- do i have to do something to allocate more memory to ark servers?
- does anyone else gave problems hosting servers on win11 and it freezing? Win11 pro, 128gb ram, ryzen 5700g, 2tb ssd.
Hi, I have a question. I am currently playing on an unofficial server that I host myself on ASE, and I was wondering: if I get the DLCs and my friends don't have them, will I be able to enjoy them (have access to the DLC-specific crafts) or will it not change anything? Considering we are on The Center.
Yes. By default on ASE, you need to go to the DLC map and learn the engram there. That way you need the DLC.
Therefore "unlocking" the engram needs the DLC as you need to go to that map to do so. For example you need to go to Aberration to get the Climbing Pick.
However, if you are admin, you can set values in the game.ini which allow you to auto unlock these types of engrams so you dont need to go to the DLC map to learn it.
For example, Climbing pick entry is EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ClimbingPick_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=34)
That will give you the engram automatically at lvl 34, i believe even if you dont have the DLC for aberration
hi i try to download an ark server but i get this
Steam>app_update 376030 validate +quit
Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)
Error! App '376030' state is 0x202 after update job.
Hi hi
Just a quick question
Port forwarding has nothing to do with being able to see your other server in your cluster if you're only locally
@warped grove Can confirm this works as I did it for my Rag server. I just went one step further and changed the crafting requirements of each engram to the base game equivalent as best I could.
Do you own the DLC ?
You don't have to own the dlc to enable engrams on ASE
I tried the exemple of the climbingpick but it's seem to dosn't work. But I can give myself the item.
Also, my game.ini file was empty, I don't know if it's normal or not
That seems like a different problem. The config file should work.
maybe I had to put it in the GameUserSettings.ini ?
You'll need to add the shootergame header if it isn't there in game.ini, it is usually empty if you haven't done anything yet.
what is the shootergame header ?
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
I need to put that in my game.ini ?
and after I put the thing for the engrams
Put this first, and then any game.ini configs under it.
Alright I gonna test it rn
@rose frigate I know I had to erase and restart the whole map due to corrupted files before and everything was working just fine. I do not currently have any back ups that are recent since I do back ups once a week. I probably should do once a day to be honest. How do I solve this issue of constant resetting of the map and explorer notes? So replace files from an older point like a roll back. I don't know if it is happening to anyone else though too so I have to see
okay it work thx !
Does anyone know how to solve the issue of map resetting and explorer notes resetting?
Afaik the Map and explorer notes are entirely client side. So if you reinstall your PC or something similar they get lost
So there is no way to fix it?
I never moved any files or anything through this character though?
How do premium mods work on servers?
Server owners can host the mods without buying it, only players who buy the mod can join the server
That’s a bit annoying. I think it should be optional like tall tales. 🤦🏻♂️
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix the map and explorer notes resetting everytime you log in and off your server or is it just a character thing? Some others said it's not happening to them so not sure what's going on?
sounds like a corrupted character save to me
When you did the data erase, that's when everything got reset. You can't prevent this.
So in other words I am screwed
I have a character save from a different point in time but I don't know if it has the same issue.
I guess I can Try it and see what happens I guess
anyone good at crash reports that i can dm
What should I do if this continues to happen with my character should I erase and make a new character?
Do you host the server on the same pc as you play?
Yes
I play through PS5 but host server on PC
How do I go about this issue because I don't know what to do?
Well, that looks like a problem coming from the ps5, explorer notes are server sided and stored on your character files. You cant see them while playing on the ps5, but still have it on the server
The same thing happens if buy a new pc to play ark, map/pings/notes will be gone but remains on the server you play
Something is not saving your data on the ps5
I could try killing my character off and respawn a new one would that work
Anyone know why I can't place structures on herb island ? Keeps saying no ground or snap point, ? I know we can build here I have an entire base here already but I can't place foundations ..
Is there any way to verify files on the console?
You should start on that
How do you verify files on PS5
Verifying the game licenses and see what that does
I believe that worked thank you
does any1 know of a mod for ASA to function basically like dino storage V2 did from ASE? like the picking up newborn automatically, the soulgun, the deleting cryos, all that, and also a mod that has a transfer tool, like the one from SS and S+ from ASE, i have a mod which has the pulling system, but not the transfer tool
Yo guys, so I have a ark server and whenever I place something in the game.ini folder and restart the server, the folder is empty again?
right now i have a mod that does some of the Dino storage V2, but some of it is locked behind tek tier
are you saving when exiting?
All changes to that file need to happen with the server off
It didnt work
Yea
/ home / container / ShooterGame / Saved / Config / LinuxServer / Game.ini
Trying to insert this server change: bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true
Or does it need to be like:
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true
Has to be under that heading
Makes sense
i keep on getting this error when i try to download an ark server

what am i doing wrong
Hello everyone. I'm looking for an admin or server creator who will share her/his experiences with me.
Anybody use windowsgsm for server management?
super cryo storage is virtually same as dinov2 far as i can tell
how are you trying to download it , just typing in the steam commad window? maybe try this but change the install directory part "C:\Arkserver1" to where you want it to go
+force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 376030 validate +quit
i found out that the problem is i need more storage
i gave it like 32 or 64
now 128 gb
hi guys, we are trying to setup a ASA server, everything works but the gamesettings are not pulling through even though they are visible in the ini file
weird thing it is picking up certain things, like tame rate and gatherrate, but XP rate stays vanille while we have set it to 5
any ideas because im at a loss atm
we tried as well with singleplayer ini files, but no avail
if its a nitrado server, stop it, wait 5 mins. make the change in gameusersetting.ini
xpmultiplier=1 is default , change that to 5. save it, wait 1 min . restarts server.
if that dont work, double check you dont have a duplicate line an make sure in the general settings you dont have it running one th offical rate dynamic config fileds
self host wont have that
i might of mixed up where it goes, just gonna load beacon an check for you
oh greaat, many thanks
checked , i was right first time it goes in gameusersetting.ini
under the header
[serversettings]
XPMultiplier=1
its likely already in there an just needs changing to 5.
Id check you dont have a duplicate and obv stop the server, make the change,save it , then restart
try this line in game.ini under this header
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
GenericXPMultiplier=1
if its there ,change to 5 , if its not there add it
im sure it shud be xpmultiplier in gus.ini though, unsure why it not works for you
were at a loss too
im almost willing just to rent out a server because of this, the XP grind is really too hard in vanilla
but I cannot stand the fact that I cannot get it working 😄
im pretty sure its something stupid we are overlooking
the server manager isnt writing over the ini by chance?
i do mine manually so no idea what that manager is actually doing
alterantively you can add them in indvidually in game.ini but the global one shud work ,
BossKillXPMultiplier=5
CaveKillXPMultiplier=5
ExplorerNoteXPMultiplier=5
GenericXPMultiplier=5
HarvestXPMultiplier=5
KillXPMultiplier=5
SpecialXPMultiplier=5
TamedKillXPMultiplier=1
WildKillXPMultiplier=5```
Who's got the secret to disabling this cosmetic stuff so I can disable item transfers. Tried ticking the button in general setting but didn't work. And then I added the disablecustomcosmetics in game user ini.
Still shows up in game
Anyone able to help me with a config?
I’m trying to get a dino to only spawn on carnivore island but I’m not sure if the config I put in my game.ini file is correct
your best bet is to show your config line for that action and if it is wrong, someone will be sure to correct you lol
Turrets on my server are hitting 6x the official damage. Any idea why? Dinoturretdamage is set to 1
does singleplayer settings lower the levels of dinos spawning in?
it is an occasional bug, their stat component failed to load/spawn properly. it should be fixed by a reload, or by uncryo for tames
My member got pinned by an invincible manta lmao
how does a manta pin something
it should also be incapable of doing damage if it has no stats, or at least very little..
Yes. Be sure to set MaxDifficulty=False or it will be very low levels.
singleplayer settings itself shouldn't change levels.
The crossplay version of svartalfheim is in a boot loop for me suddenly after restarting it. This whole situation with a bunch of versions of the same map is a bit crazy. I've paid for the premium version, I should be able to host it for my players. The crossplay version hasn't gotten an update in who knows how long. It should have the full map by now, excluding the caves.
this isnt a server setup question but i have no access to any servers in the 'join ark' menu on ASE anyone know how to fix this?
So I’m trying to spawn this creature only out on Dead Island. So far I have seen any spawn but is it because the spawn rate is at 0.02? Or do I have something incorrect?
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMonsterIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="DragonMountain",EntryWeight=0.25,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Dragon_Character_BP_Fire_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Dragon_Character_BP_Fire_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02)))
Maybe set your setting to all maps. There was a similar issue on ASA
yeah brother i just realized my stupid mistake, i had the bottom left drop box set to favourites
Anyone know if they are working on that we on a uofficielle server can keep the cera we have as a mod
Anyone has good settings for Ark mobile ? i'm renting a server
@fast raft
View pinned messages.
Ohhhhhhh ! Thank you 🙂
So we have a map clustered in.
Shows all the other maps on the list.
But uploaded items are only available on that map, none of the others.
(Map is a clone of our current map, used to retrieve lost characters.
So uploads/downloads etc are all enabled.
The other 3 maps are all linked, uploaded items available across all 3.
Just not the test server we use to load backups on.
It seems to be isolated for it's "ARK Data" (uploads).
Any ideas as to why this may be?
does your test server have the same cluster override dir?
i cannot join my server anymore it crashes or it lets me in the server (i can hear the game sounds) then it goes black and i get returned again and it says that the conenction to the host is lost. any way to fix it
Verify files
Make sure mods are updated
whats wrong with the search funktion on ark hp ? (Please wait 1,794,738 seconds before attempting another search) wtf
anyway i was searching for a solutution to fix my widescreen. now its just cutted on top and bottom. just zoomed in. that not what widescreen support is ment with 😦
verify files like in steam?
Yes
dunno if this is the right channel to ask in, but is there a way to transfer a character from an xbox account to steam account? i'm playing on my own unofficial server.
it's ASA
Anyone else have issue with Patches just not coming down to steam sometimes. Steam CMD seems to be much slower than using Steam Tools itself, so i typically resort to using Steam Tools and then copying the files out. But this time we are several minor patches behind and nothing is coming down. SteamDB is consistent with this, shows it hasn't been touched. for 3 days.
Still on 43.12,
.13-.16 have not come down
Its like they are pushing to a different branch in the depot other than the public one
This used to have almost a regular cadence, like public branch would always be one behind nitrado, and 2 or 3 behind official. Now its totally random, sometimes we get the patches instantly same time as official, sometimes we are days behind. I see people getting them though, and I am not sure how, usually its just a few servers, maybe they have access to other branches.
@lime bolt Having the same issue, especially with server only patches
they are pushing to a different branch. ASALive has been updated, Public is still on the previous patch
Thats what I feared, its fine I suppose most of the time. Occasionally they update client with major but dont update public server for hours, so then you are just waiting 4-8 hours or whatever. Can be frustrating when serious things are in patchnotes though going out but can't do anything about it.
Minor patches are a crap shoot on when/if unofficial will get them
I feel like it was never bad like this on ASE though
There has been minors unofficial has skipped over
I run my own bot to check steam for releases and only check WC's patchnotes when my bot says there's an update
Ok well then how about the weirdest part for me. Sometimes SteamCMD doesn't get the patch for hours even though it is in public and it comes down to SteamTools. Has anyone but me experienced that?
They probably checking different steam server
public has updated
Thanks John!
It takes steam a little bit once they get it to send it out to all there download servers
I must just be the most unlucky ever on steamCMD this time around. It's so far behind usually that i built my own process to savegame, backup my whole directory, robocopy the new files from steamtools directory, then boot back up
I keep checking these links. One is for server, one is for client
I normally can get it from steamcmd withing 1 min of steamdb showing it updated
Or right after my bot finds it updated on steams api
you have a bot to check? Show off 😄
Nice
I have bots to check for updates on all my dedicated servers (ark, palworld, valheim)
are they yours or are they publicly available?
Mine they part of my server bots that monitor if servers are up and who is on them. There is a game update notifier on GitHub I did use in the past befor making my bots, I'll dm ya the link
Any experienced coders/people who have setup or made servers around to give me a helping hand lmk dm me please :))
I haven't played for over a week and cant see my server now...worked before np...any ideas?
Its my own server ran from steam dedicated on same pc i play on btw
Are we still waiting for the PSN patch? 😂
Anyone know how to hide an engram from ASA, I have this in the game.ini and it is running fine but it just wont hide:
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ModernBed_C",EngramHidden=True)
try this,
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ModernBed_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)
Had that before but Ill try again hoping I maybe fat fingered it or something
yeah no go, not sure why though
but thanks for trying
some stuff just doesnt work in asa no idea why, like stackin golden hesporanis egg , just cant get it to work
Can anyone tell me how to fix my character having invisible inventory?
easy , delete the game, go play something else .....
if you want punishment ,
1- leave render range in game an come back
2-kill self in game
3-relog into game
4-switch it off an on again (at the plug for atleats 5 mins)
5=delete the shit and download again
6-if the above failed to work , no idea
i have a cluster of 2 servers. They're setup the same with the same mods but one server the mod work and the other the mod does not work. what could cause this?
cud be something as simple as it works on island map but not on scorched earth/any other modded map.
cud be it needs reinstalling on the server it dont work on....
wud need alot more details, start with , what doesnt work?.... it crashes the server or ? what did you try sdo far to fix it? self host or nitrado server?
server is stable. when you click join server it shows all of the mods your server has. the one thats not working doesn't show the mod but in game you can see the engram but you cant unlock it.
try this when logged into the server, use your password to get in admin.
cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart
cheat DoExit```
thanks ill try it
it will force the mods to redownload on restart basically giveing them a clean install and hopefully fix any corrupted files that might cause the issue
im not sure if nitrado respond to the doexit command, you failed to mention if was nitrado
yes its nitrado
kk if it doesnt shut down the server after you enter it , you will have to manually go into there u/i anf restart the server
Does anyone know how to add /jump command to server ?
Had update at 12 today and my server is still at 14.3 instead of 14.6. What's going on? I've restarted it and everything I've known to do before in the past and nothing. And it is nitrado
Does anyone know the name for the Ceratosaurus for use in the ini?
@placid imp
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.
Can you add premium mods on ps5? I see the category in game but it’s just blank with no mods showing.
premium mods are not supported on playstation yet
Has anyone figured out the vanilla hemogoblinc cocktail engram entry? We're sticking with using the mod Ceratos so we disabled the vanilla ones from spawning, but now trying to hide the vanilla engram since we've heard it can't be used to tame the mod ones, and there's basically no way to distinguish which is which.
I haven't played for over a week and cant see my server now...worked before np...any ideas?
have you patched your server in that time frame? there was a major patch exactly a week ago - if your server hasn't patched, but your client has, you won't be able to see the server in the list
I could be very very wrong but back on unofficial servers on ASE I swore there was a server that all their egg incubations were the same timer wise no matter what the Dino or what the level. Is that a thing or did I have a fever dream 😂
Question is there a limit to how many mods a server can have or a size cap for a dedicated server
Hello,
I have a question about the custom skins - how can I use them? I have my own server and they don't work there.
The skins are installed on the server and client.
I know that you have to drag the skins onto the blueprint but it doesn't work...
yo i tried it doesn' t work
EngramEntry_HemogoblinCocktail_ASA_C

How do you change the stats dinos get when imprinted?
for example the amount of health a dino gets when imprinte
Is anyone on PSN with mods working
you cant change the amount from an imprint , but you can change the amount an imprinted dino gets per level added with this iirc, see the link for examples
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[<attribute>]=<multiplier>
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier
So for example, if i imprint a dino 100% and it goes from 17k hp to 35k theres no way to change the amount to say for example 17k to 20k?
not that i know of
maybe
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier
@agile summit this, i was wrong sorry
tottally forgot about that one, its not something i ever change, thx for reminder
yes , 0.5 would half the amount added, 2.0 wud double it according to beacon
perfect thanks

Hello. We will set up an ark server to play with friends, but when we open it from the ark server manager, it does not open. Can anyone with knowledge help?

Hello. We will set up an ark server to play with friends, but when we open it from the ark server manager, it does not open. Can anyone with knowledge help?
I got a suggestion today from a player in my community stating we should turn hibernation/ stasis off on our unofficial server? I would imagine that would be a nightmare for lag and latency, beyond what we already experience with this game. Has anyone else done this? He claims he's never played on a server that intentionally had stasis activated? I've never heard of a server that didn't...
If I want to change the egg hatch speed and maturation speed. Can I just change them then do a restart or do I have to take the server down before and after
Ark only uses 7777 correct and it should be under the UDP protocol, just want to make sure I am doing this right since I deleted my first server and am trying to help another friend set it up on his system
dedicated servers automatically have stasis disabled , its only non dedicated and singleplayer use true stasis
stop server, wait 5mins, makre the changes, save it, restart server
7777udp is the default port yes .. only one it needs forwarded to join an play it . sending u a txt guide i wrote on setting up asa server
Okay cheers, was hoping we could do a quick restart
Ok
dont be tempted t rush, nitrado servers you need to wait the times for the ui to update to thew server
Oh makes sense, cheers
So why would this player believe it's off on my unofficial server?
no idea, its a dedeicated server right?
Yeah, it's my unofficial Nitrado server
probs player doesnt understand how they work then ....
Fair enough lol
Friends, the server gets stuck while starting up, what should not be done? The timing of the server startup pattern is not visible.
My server does not appear in the servers list
I watch memory/cpu usage, when it calms cpu and has about 6-7gb of ram, it shows up not long after. the window doesn't ever show activity past the first bit
Is there any chance you can help me in detail on this issue?
.
just ask your questions here. I needed to set up multihome ip, open ports in system firewall, forward ports from router, then it was listed.
if I used -automanagedmods it hung after downloading the mods, but I fixed that with a symlink, now it's good
Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what the problem is as this is my first time opening it.
I don't want to use mods. I want to play Ragnarok with a few friends.
what are you on, and what have you done?
I am trying to open a server with the Ark Manager application from VDS. I say start but it doesn't work.
"Ark Server Manager"? VDS is windows? do they give you an IP, just wide open?
Yes they give a rope and it is wide open. windows vds
SteamSocketsOpenSource: gethostname failed ()
I get an error saying
so should be basically DMZ'd, no need to forward ports..
not familiar with the server manager unfortunately, running on linux
does your VDS have multiple network adapters? You'd need to do multihome setting then
that error is from client?
I don't know, unfortunately I don't have enough information on this subject.
check that ports for ark are open. you may need to do something in windows firewall or even possibly a vds dashboard, depending on provider
does anyone know why my server does not show up on the server page.. BUT.. when you type the name of my server and hit refresh it shows up
does anyone have the blueprint path for the cera since its in the basegame now?
Hello, my stego are white and glitched asf, it already happened to someone?
The session list probably caps out but if you can still find it through search, I don’t see any real problem. I’ve noticed the auto-favourite function resets with every update deeming it a pointless features from my experience.
my session list is only like, 72 servers ish... is that the normal?
I've setup custom drops that work on my island server however when i try to paste them over to se they aren't working
anyone know why
s.e uses different drops to the island
Ah i see, i'm using beacon and i dont see any way to switch the custom drops for scorched earth?
at the top in middle , is maps button, click it and change to scortched earth
will that auto change my saved drops to the coding for se?
so i can paste the new exported game ini in the nitrado scorched ini/
no u will need to edit the scorched drops
right got it now thank you very much
Is it fine if I run both servers with the same rcon port? Or will this mess something up?
each server will need its own rconport if you are going to use rcon to communicate with them, if you arent going to use rcon, just leave it out
It says the server is started, but it doesn't appear in the servers section. What is the reason?
Hey, can anyone help me with an Error Message a friend of mine gets, after he tries joining our server?
Let him join multiple times that will work
If it didn’t work then idk
