[idle bison]

how do i set up a server so every lvl unlocks engrams but it doesnt unlock tekgrams till i beat the bosses?

[distant hearth]

easy way, use ark beacon omni app/program

[idle bison]

its for a nitrado server

[distant hearth]

its a load lines of code in the game.ini for each level an engrams

[idle bison]

ah gotcha

[distant hearth]

its the same way for all servers, coded added to the game.ini

[idle bison]

gotcha, could u send me a link in dms to the program?

[distant hearth]

its why half time people cant be arsed an just use the auto engram that also unlocks tek at lvl 100

[idle bison]

i want there to be some incentive to fight the bosses besides element

[distant hearth]

the link is in the pinned messages of this channel , it wont ley me dm u or im being dumb i dunno lol.

[idle bison]

gotcha

[idle bison]

i added you as a friend, should work now

[bleak horizon]

Hello all, wondering if i can have further help here. Im trying to transfer to a password protected server on my cluster however the obelisk wont let me check the boxes to choose filters. is anyone having this issue? its been like this for a while now and if i cant acess it i cant open my map. 😭

[sharp lake]

If you're on ASA, the EZ Engram Unlocker mod does it level by level

[sharp spindle]

Is there a place for us to advertise servers on this discord?
I looked but didn't find anything.

[sharp spindle]

@distant hearth thanks ❤️

[languid plank]

got a problem where i redownloaded my character and i am no longer in the tribe

[river tinsel]

hi guys since a week my server window is not closing when i stop my server, anyone having the same issue ?

[silver thistle]

are we back to restart loops with scorched ?

[gray rapids]

Anyone know How to make official Dino lvl clamp? Like u cant lvl Dino to more then 450?

[silver thistle]

u got beacon ?

[agile summit]

Is there a way to make bosses harder if so how?

[smoky fog]

Does everyone in the server need to pay for a creature dlc in order to login? Or just the host?

[olive talon]

Every user that wants to play has to pay for premium mods if they are active on the server.

[smoky fog]

Ohhh …alright. Thank you.

[gray rapids]

Yes, free version, i did use it for clamp on items but have not found Dino

[bronze heron]

I need help with making it so imprints are much more efficient for 100%

[silver thistle]

Search in general under everything else there's a destroy tame over level limit put in 450 there and ur good

[silver thistle]

U want more stats from imprints u mean ?or for instant 100% ?

[bronze heron]

Yeah each imprint it give like 30% so I don't have to do 10 every 45 minutes

[silver thistle]

U got beacon

[bronze heron]

What do you mean by beacon?

[silver thistle]

its aplication u can get either free version or paid version this allows u to do alll the settings u want from loot drops to breeding set up etc spawns its a must have for running servers

[onyx gale]

I have one particular player that when he joins my cluster, the server immediately crashes. Happens nearly every time he logs on and it causes the map to be down for 10-15 minutes. It happens on any map in our cluster, not just one.

He's very frustrated about it and people are getting frustrated with him. But he has no idea what's causing it. He's done a full uninstall/reinstall of the game.

Has anyone else experienced this?

[silver thistle]

is he cloud gaming the game ? sounds like its a them issue rather than ur server issue

[wispy night]

Hello there ! 👋
I'm playing on a private server hosted with Bisecth, I would like to transfer dinos from one map to another to be able to explore several maps
Is there anyway I could avoid my dino being reset to lv1 and base stats ?
I transfered one with cryo and it has been reset to lv1

[onyx gale]

Not that I'm aware of. And we agree it seems to be him and not us. My suspicion was a corrupted tribe.bak or maybe a corrupted character or something. But I wanted to see if anyone else had any experience with this first before I start the FTP process or we delete his character

[thorny stag]

Do some have a nice/fair unofficial server setting from nitrado that would share with me?

[feral topaz]

litterly need the cluster folder connected properly so this doesnt happen. can always take eggs over as they seem to keep stats once hatched

[thick niche]

Is anyone having an incredibly high ping on their server? I have over 100 ping on island and 300 on scorched

[elder plover]

there's alot of things that can affect that, ASA servers do seem to be harder to run than ASE so depending on your hardware that could be the reason (personally i've noticed higher ping on my ASA servers than I got on ASE) other than that if your running them on a VPS or something can you maybe change the region they're hosted in or something to get them closer to you physically?

[unborn trail]

Anyone know what the save file name is gonna be for center?

[rapid rain]

Question. Looking at nitrado to grab a server. Is the server from the website crossplay for steam, ps, xbox(both windows pc and console)?

[olive talon]

Yep

In your dashboard, you can select the platforms available.

[rapid rain]

Awesome thank you. It's been a few years since I messed with nitrado and asa is gonna be a learning experience on it lol

[olive talon]

It's pretty similar to ASE in regards to setup tbh

[rapid rain]

The mods are probably going to be the biggest difference for me

Also going to have to learn what coding I can transfer from my old ase. I want custom stacks

[olive talon]

Probably, but Nitrado's mod interface makes it fairly easy with crossplay. They'll only allow cross-platform mods if you have crossplay enabled

[olive talon]

Download https://usebeacon.app/

[worn fractal]

Does anyone have a non mod way to do automatic dino wipes(nitrado)?

[rapid rain]

I forgot about beacon. Maaaan I'm going to have to break out my laptop

[olive talon]

The force dino wipe on restart option

[worn fractal]

it unchecks after every reboot

[olive talon]

Aside from rechecking it or manually doing one then, a mod is probably your only bet.

[mental herald]

Here's a question that I'm sure has been asked a million times, but I can't find an answer anywhere: I have a private server through Nitrado on The Island. Am I able to upload myself and my dinos before changing the map to The Center and then download them? I think it worked with ASE, but I can't find anything about it working or not with ASA.

[languid plank]

that should work as long as you accept downloads

is it an issue if you transfer back to a server but no one is on and in the tribe? like the game not recognizing that you are in the tribe on that map?
like i transfered back one time and had this issue but i had tribemates on, so when i died, it recognized i was in the tribe and put me back in. right now it is not but i have no one on from the orginal tribe, so i cant for some reason rejoin the tribe.

[mental herald]

I've never heard of that issue before

Is there a box I have to have checked to be able to upload and download characters/dinos from my Nitrado server? I can't find that either.

Disregard, found in ini

[rapid rain]

I can do the enter setup thru beacon right? Mods too? And any tweaks to stats/rates?

[silver thistle]

can pretty much do everything through beacon all settinbgs mods etc long as the mod is on the beacon but most of the important ones are

[rapid rain]

I'm not going too crazy I want it similar to official with a few extras

[dusk belfry]

Hi all. I have an issue with my nitrado server. It keeps restarting and says an update is being installed. Then it restarts again and again. Any fixes?

[silver thistle]

useally caused by a faulty mod - i had tp reinstall Scorched completly this morning but lucky it was a fresh server

coz of the restarting

[dusk belfry]

Thanks. I added a mod and played for a few days but maybe I'll just uninstall it

[silver thistle]

yeah remove the last added mod and u probs find u be ok

[agile summit]

Hi guys is there a way to make bosses on a unoffcial server more difficult thank you

[uncut geode]

yes

[silver thistle]

there is on beacon

[uncut geode]

what boss are you looking for

[wise kindle]

Creature adjustments. Just add health and damage.

[distant hearth]

depends how u wanna do it really theres mutiple ways some effecting just the bosses , some ways effect everything

[native wave]

yay...my server for the center is all setup, just need to plug in the map name

[celest halo]

And update the server after they release the update that has it in it 🤣

[native wave]

that'll happen when I boot it up with the correct map name

[opal wave]

Hey guys I’m new here, I’m just wondering if anyone could help in dms or a call about running your own server, tired of playing severs with unfair admins so thinking about running my own, if any one could help with a few questions hit me up please, Ty

[silver thistle]

Recommend getting beacon and import from nitrado to that and do all ur settings on there

[agile summit]

is it the Wild damage and wild resistance?

[wise kindle]

Yep

[unreal jasper]

do we have map name for center yet?

[tepid berry]

TheCenter_WP like always.

Map names haven't changed from what they were on ASE

[grizzled meteor]

hi guys, regarding:
-ClusterDirOverride='C:\ASA\ClusterShare'
can it be that it dosn't take the attribute if there already is a folder \ServerXXX\ShooterGame\Saved\clusters in each server?

the servers can see each other but the sharing of the player files just dont work X_x cheeelp

[distant hearth]

it might not like the apostophe , shud be done with quotes
-ClusterDirOverride="C:\ASA\ClusterShare"

tbf with no spaces in the name it doesnt need them at all, but i prefer to leave them in anyway

[grizzled meteor]

i tried "" '' and without.. must be something else

[distant hearth]

both servers need the same id an same directory , on a drive they can both acess

[grizzled meteor]

i know

[distant hearth]

it wudnt matter about the other folder if the over ride is setup correctyl as it wudnt know to even look there

double check the command line is correct, no accidental spaces etc

[grizzled meteor]

looks like it just hates me

it is correct, but i start it via a pretty complicated powershell script 😄

well ill figure it out somehow, otherwise i may try filesystem hardlinking the folders in \ShooterGame\Saved\clusters

[vital linden]

Anyone know if we're going to be using TheCenter_WP for the map name?

[grizzled meteor]

this question is already 100 times in this chat 😄

[distant hearth]

most likely , nothing confirmed yet though

[peak sapphire]

Anyone had any luck adding creatures to spawns? I tried testing adding Rhynio to the swamp spawn entry in prep for The Center but ASA doesn’t want to cooperate.

[distant hearth]

pretty sure is fine if you add the full dino path, beacon app recently updated an seems to be doing that now too

[uneven flame]

can someone help me figure out why these dont work.

To hide a blueprint/engram
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MoroRaptor_GM_Egg_C",EngramHidden=True)

Adjust the cost of resources for an engram
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="MoroRexGenome2bp_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=(ResourceItemTypeString="DNA_Vial_MoroRex_C",BaseResourceRequirement=3.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False))

this is the best i can find using the manifest, and beacon. the mods discord isnt very active.

[distant hearth]

try this for the engram ,
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_MoroRaptor_GM_Egg_C",EngramLevelRequirement=999,EngramPointsCost=1,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

the other one the class path looks wrong to me, its usually like ,
ItemClassString="MoroRexGenome2_bp_C"

[uneven flame]

from the manifest i have this for it (theres like 3 or 4 genomes)
currrently as i have it when i am in game it shows no requirements to make, and is uncraftable.
when i tried other ways nothing changed for that engram
ShooterGame/Mods/Moros_Indomitable_Duo/Content/IndominusRex/DNAMachines/DNA_FullVials/Genomes/MoroRexGenome2BP.uasset

[distant hearth]

sry not sure then, mods can be finicky at best times

[pseudo lily]

server bob asking for help, i have bought a dell powerhub server to host my cluster, running winserv 2022, but im really struggling with ports, i cant even connect using the ip address of the host on my LAN network!! could anyone please help as to what im most likely doing wrong?

[distant hearth]

sent dm

[tepid berry]

As always, even if they release on-time at 10pm, it's gonna take an hour for it to hit SteamCMD for unofficials to download it in the first place.

[livid reef]

/Moros_Indomitable_Duo/IndominusRex/DNAMachines/DNA_FullVials/Genomes/MoroRexGenomeBP.MoroRexGenomeBP_C

i believe

[uneven flame]

yes that is the one you will have in your inventory bt not the blueprint for the engram i need to re config

Theres 3 variants all of which after crafting become the one you listed

[feral marsh]

Hey again! Looking for some tips on how to add things to the S+ ark item pull list? I thought i found the correct code for it (non-nitrado server by the way), but it hasn't worked following restart.

[rapid rain]

How do I add the mods? Like actually deploy them to my server?

[jolly dove]

Anyone having scarce spawning on both maps? Like the Island and SE are ghost towns in the higher level areas (such as the wyvern trench, arctic area on Island, etc) we're just not seeing good spawns in these areas, even after dino wipes

[worthy mauve]

Wyvern trench is pretty empty everywhere think it's normal. Ascended in general just has less dino spawns than se. seems like the longer my server runs without dino wipes the more populated it gets tho

[worn fractal]

when will i be able to make my nitrado server a center map?

28 mins?

[worthy mauve]

center launches in 27 minutes

[worn fractal]

but does nitrado update on the hour?

i was not here for scorched

[worthy mauve]

not sure don't use nitrado but i would imagine they will have it out fairly quick

can also keep an eye on the #announcements channel they have a countdown and talk about a deployment thread

[wise kindle]

With Nitrado we got the map within an hour of release if i remember correctly. Wasnt a really long wait.

[native wave]

public not updated yet

[grizzled meteor]

where is dat maaap 😄

[woven furnace]

normally nitrado had the map 1hour after the update on steam

[grizzled meteor]

not nitrado, real unofficial servers 😄

[woven furnace]

what you mean like a dedicated ?

[pseudo saddle]

Not sure if updated on server yet but there was an update earlier, guessing the map will be TheCenter_WP?

[lunar cloud]

According to #announcements deployment post, map name is TheCenter_WP

[humble thicket]

Is it up on unofficial yet?

[lunar cloud]

most likely not

[native wave]

not on public yet

[livid reef]

server update isn't available yet

[near folio]

can someone pls report here when it's availble?

[native wave]

unofficials can't update until the build hits the public branch for the server

[loud comet]

iirc scorched earth was like, maybe an hour after the map dropped?

[native wave]

yeah usually a bit delayed

[loud comet]

i don't remember exactly but it was sometime the same day for sure

[grizzled meteor]

if i would be able to find that steamdb link again 😄 does anyone haveit? where you see the branches

[olive talon]

Pinned messages

[native wave]

public not up yet

[grizzled meteor]

thank you Bee

[native wave]

note: don't automate checking the steamdb page or you will be temp-banned. they don't like that

[covert flare]

anyone know how to set the map on nitadro ? or do we need to wait some more

[native wave]

public hasn't gotten the update and neither has nitradopc

[covert flare]

bettt

[grizzled meteor]

sounds like someone knows what he is speaking of 😄

[native wave]

yep...got temp banned...learned my lesson 😄

[grizzled meteor]

same 😉

[native wave]

no update to public or nitradopc

[dim geyser]

public is up I believe

[loud comet]

idek why i'm waiting i'm legit gonna boot it up on my new server, make sure it works, and go to bed lol

[dim geyser]

my unofficial was updated

[grizzled meteor]

commitment! 😄

[silent violet]

is the name for Center, TheCenter_WP?

[loud comet]

mine still isn't promting an update

[livid reef]

TheCenter_WP

[near folio]

Priorities!

[silent violet]

ty

[grizzled meteor]

yas!

[dusty jay]

anyone else having issues getting the update on unofficial?

[lunar cloud]

its not out yet

[dusty jay]

got my center map setup rdy to roll just not updating

jeepers

[autumn falcon]

i got a update earlier but im assuming there is going to be another update ( linux host)

[left sable]

How do we update our nitrado server for the center?

[loud comet]

wait for the thunder god to tell us when it's out for unofficials

[grizzled meteor]

if he not got banned again 😄

[lunar cloud]

steamdb link in pinned messages has the link you can just view public branch and refresh every now and again.
currently still outdated by 4 days

[near folio]

Have you unplugged it and plugged it back in again?

[grizzled meteor]

what? the cdrom?

[latent yarrow]

How long does it usually take before I can update my server?

[grizzled meteor]

only wildcard knows, and vin diesel maybe..

[dusty jay]

how do you see this?

[stone fiber]

When hosting multiple maps what is the best way to assign ports to seperate servers, ie - TheIsland_WP - 7777 & 27015 , ScorchedEarth_WP - 7778 & 27016, TheCenter_WP 7779 & 27017 ? Would this be the way?

[lunar cloud]

steamdb info website, search for app 2430930 which is the number for ASA server. then check depots and public for unofficial. nitradopc branch for Nitrado

There is a link in the pinned messages on this channel

[dusty jay]

under public?

i see it was updated 36 min ago

[lunar cloud]

just on the depots page, it lists them all with "Time updated"

the main one is 34min ago yes, thats offical

[dusty jay]

kk

[woven linden]

Usually takes a while for the unofficials to get the updates.

[olive talon]

SteamDB is pinned in this channel as well.

[lunar cloud]

yeah generally 1-2hours

[woven linden]

A pro and a con. Officials get to "test" before we do. LOL

[iron bronze]

Hopefully not too long...it's almost 4am for me 😵‍💫

[final eagle]

The Center is TheCenter_WP as the map name right?

[grizzled meteor]

just go to bed, ppl will survive it if it launches tomorrow 🙂

[stone fiber]

Yes

[final eagle]

Op I see it thanks Harlequin!

[errant tiger]

I can't find The Center on nitrado, how do I get my server to have the map?

[smoky mirage]

What do I do if steamdb isn't properly seeing the update?

[woven linden]

It's not there yet. See above

[olive talon]

Need to wait for the patch to come to unofficial.

[smoky mirage]

Oh silly me mb

[grizzled meteor]

costs extra on nitrado 😛

[errant tiger]

Srsly...? How long will it take?

[iron bronze]

I will never let them win 💪

[olive talon]

As long as it takes. Keep an eye on steamdb.

[near folio]

7-10 business days for shipping and handling

[errant tiger]

An eye on what part of steamdb?

[lunar cloud]

if you scroll up, question is answered several times over

[near folio]

are we there yet?

[errant tiger]

I was just asking but ok w/e

[wooden tartan]

SteamCMD not yet.

[native wave]

no public or nitradopc update yet

[latent yarrow]

What am I looking for on steam db to tell me unofficial can update

[lone lodge]

Evening, keeping you busy in here i see. I have to have ports set since my main server is back east, and they are setting up a new bakery lol it may be a bit.

[lunar cloud]

@olive talon is steamdb link whitelisted for this channel ?

[olive talon]

No unfortunately it's not, but I have it pinned here which you can share or reply to.

[native wave]

here

[latent yarrow]

Is public the one that needs to update?

[lunar cloud]

yes public for unofficial

[topaz island]

yay - server in restart loop but this time around looping with "updating"

[native wave]

public for unofficial servers and I'm fairly certain nitradopc for nitrado servers

[latent yarrow]

Thank you sir

[lunar cloud]

nitradopc for nitrado

[woven linden]

public for ones not on nitrado. nitradopc for nitrado

[worn summit]

hello all, i too have a couple servers waiting for the update. The wait is typical i assume? Would it be better just to wait till the morning then go from there? Thanks!

[grizzled meteor]

public branch BEST branch!

[topaz island]

never a dull moment

[native wave]

nitradopc just updated

[loud comet]

i shall wait 10 more minutes and then tis bed time

[native wave]

public updated

[grizzled meteor]

RED ALERT!

[lunar cloud]

public is out!

[wooden tartan]

Looks that way.

[loud comet]

the moment i think about throwing in the towel

lmao well played WC, well played

[near folio]

are we there yet?

[autumn falcon]

Just got a Download for my linux host

[grizzled meteor]

Vin Diesel was with us this time!

[ornate raptor]

Update is live now

[woven linden]

Wow, that was faster than in the past

[coarse cloak]

Anybody know when nitrado will have the center up to add to my cluster

[native wave]

my server is booting up

[woven linden]

Yep, I see at least one unoffical center up now

[near folio]

are we there yet?

[humble thicket]

It's up on steam?

[lunar cloud]

yes

[humble thicket]

Wonder when Nitrado will get us the update

I need it 🫡

[near folio]

[ebon venture]

how does one update the dedicated server from steam, the version I have is 43.18

[hasty valley]

"Releasing for all platforms"

[topaz island]

"stopping server" in endless loop. nitrado for the win!

[hasty valley]

smh

[idle rose]

oh, I just verfied game in steamcmd and its downloading

[loud comet]

my server is working

[lunar cloud]

you use steamcmd the same way you installed it, to update, example: steamcmd +force_install_dir <C:\directory> +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

[hasty valley]

same

it's downloading the update

[idle rose]

I dont play or own this game, but I host a server in a VM for my gf. I have 0 familiarity with ark, but every time one of these new updates happen, I end up losing a whole night x.x

[grizzled meteor]

nothing is for free 😉

[idle rose]

finally got my server up

[spare brook]

that's the definition of love right there
or madness...... madness also fits 🙂

[iron bronze]

Is everyone's servers up and running? I am getting Cache refresh required this will take 10-20 minutes to complete...normal?

[topaz island]

nope

[native wave]

my server is running

[cobalt idol]

Tht's normal in arkapi...

[native wave]

just updating my island server so I can transfer

[iron bronze]

Ah okay...cool beans

[coarse cloak]

The Map stil lost up for me on nitrado to select, has anyone else found it? Would it work putting custom then entering the map name

[echo mesa]

Okay someone explain to me like I’m dumb, I have nitrado, I don’t see it as an option

[topaz island]

it hasn't deployed to nitrado map database yet

[coarse cloak]

Nitrado has not got it available yet

[native wave]

nitrado has their own process

[echo mesa]

Of course they don’t lol

[idle rose]

Does anyone have ASE hosted in a linux VM? When I first tried to set this up, it wasn't supported and we had to use Windows. I am wondering if that may have changed and if anyone might have gotten it set up.

Just trying to gauge if it's worth trying again.

[covert flare]

im just trynna to start my other server so i can get off this sandstorm filled heat wave no water dogshit map

[keen sorrel]

I gave up trying and used a Windows VM in Proxmox. I think someone said they had it working in Pterodactlyl though

[grizzled meteor]

gotta love scorched 🙂

[lunar cloud]

Nitrado has to wake up the UI devs via pager to add "The Center" to their dropdown menu 😂

[idle rose]

YO, thats exactly what I am doing! Proxmox ftw 🙂

[native wave]

yes it works in pterodactyl via a proton egg

[silent violet]

hypervisor go brrr

[lunar cloud]

I have it running very successfully using Docker. marcel-dempers \ Ark-Docker on github

[loud comet]

interesting to see how windows reduces ram usage on the other servers when it caps out

i guess that's expected behavior.

[idle rose]

Thank you so much 🙂
Will give this a shot

[silent violet]

Anyone have an idea how to remove a process lock? 2 of my 3 launched just fine but the 3rd is being locked somehow

[lunar cloud]

ive written a bash program called arkmanager inspired by the ASE one
Allows you to stop, start, update, backup , restore maps.
there is a docker compose file to start instances and ini files to enable\disable maps
I run it on Windows using docker for my test purposes, and then in the cloud a use Kubernetes. (There is YAML in the kubernetes directory if you are interested)

[autumn falcon]

Steam App Id for dedicated server still 2430930?

[idle rose]

This is a professional right here.

[humble thicket]

Indeed 💪🏼

🫡

[lunar cloud]

@idle rose if you need any help, just open a github issue on there and i can clarify things \ make improvements to it

[open heart]

All 3 of my servers are updated... Center is running... Clustering is functional... Now if only my client would finish updating lol

[woven linden]

If only Nitrado had similar scripts. They're awful. Often get restarts or updates but they don't do a save before doing it so you get a random rollback depending on the last time it saved. 😦

[lunar cloud]

same. my custer is all running 3 maps (fast cloud internet) .. but my client internet (local pc) is a bit potato

[covert flare]

only if nitardo would update

[reef flax]

Commandline: TheCenter_WP?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?etc... does this look okay?
"booting..." for minutes and minutes

[woven linden]

I'm seeing nitrado servers up

[near folio]

are we there yet?

[idle rose]

Thank you, will do. I may be popping up on there when I give this a shot a little later.

I have been trying to host and figure out issues on my own without any help, so I super appreciate this.

When I was asked if I could host a private server for a game I didn't know anything about, I said sure, no problem, I had no idea what I had agreed to.

[lunar cloud]

all good! you're welcome 💪🏽

[valid urchin]

hi i need help, i set up a server with nitrado but in game when i kill a dino it disapears immediately without me being able to harvest it. also when puting wood into campfire it turns all of it to charcoal immediately... where did i go wrong?

[river breach]

Would anyone happen to know the map name for TheCenter?

[bleak ivy]

TheCenter_WP

[stable granite]

The center isn't on nitrado?

[river breach]

Thank you, kind person <3

[olive talon]

Not yet.

[covert flare]

still waiting so sad

[idle rose]

Looks normal to me, it took a while for mine to start too. If any doubt, verify files in steamcmd, I did that about 20 minutes aog and it downloaded the update

[native wave]

query port is uncessary. ASA does not use it anymore as it does not use the steam api

[idle rose]

Thanks, works fine with it in there and I just never thought to take it out.

[loud comet]

surprised how easy it was to clone my server and boot up the center knocks on wood

[prisma summit]

How long usually after an update does nitrado roll out their update?

[naive mauve]

2-3 hours after steam

[stable granite]

Few hours or so

[fringe stump]

all my servers updated -> Steam

[vocal jungle]

Does any one else have the Center for a map option on Nitrado?

[worn summit]

my nitrado servers have updated to V 45.14 just cant pick the center map yet

[naive mauve]

same^

[loud comet]

classic nitrado ngl lol sorry friends

[final eagle]

Got the server up anyone know if clustering works for TheCenter? clustered it and not showing (Steam)

[naive mauve]

its ok, i loaded a single player, couldnt find 1 shasta

[stable granite]

Nitrado is updating right now

For me at least

[left sable]

is there something you have to do to trigger an update? @stable granite

[stable granite]

Dunno, I logged out and logged back in

[vocal jungle]

If you stop your Nitrado server, change the map to Custom and then use this map name TheCenter_WP. Then restart it.

[covert flare]

click restart on your server and pray it doesnt get stuck in restart loop

[wooden gyro]

Mines been updating for the past 40ish minutes

[river breach]

My server hosted privately, as others have said, never boots

[pseudo saddle]

I got lucky with mine I think was able to add it to my cluster, and oddly SE and center came online with mods but the island crashed out

[covert flare]

so before I bring all my shit from my other server over here... should i trust the "custom" and then "TheCenter_WP" as the map?? is this going to cause issues in the future?

[urban ore]

I was wondering that as well

[covert flare]

Idk should be fine? but do i change my map to "The center" instead of custom later? or do i just leave it as it?

[errant tiger]

Is this a solution from Nitrado?

[covert flare]

this is a solution a bunch of random people said in nitrado discord, i did it and it works like im on the center on my nitrado server

[urban ore]

For Game Hosts
Map Name: TheCenter_WP

in the thread of information they put this so it makes sense

[covert flare]

Nitrado dev just said "The update is live, we are currently working into adding the map into the options" so we might as well just wait probably for safety reasons lmao

[urban ore]

i wonder how long that will take

[covert flare]

between wildcard and the dogshit nitrado who knows

[urban ore]

not wrong there lol

[ornate raptor]

ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheIsland_WP?listen?port=7895" -UseServerNetSpeedCheck -WinLiveMaxPlayers=20 -notransferfromfiltering -clusterid={clusterID} -UseBattlEye -nosteamclient -game -server -log

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Server is starting and getting to 'tickingloop'. I have ports forwarded and local firewall disabled. I still cannot fdind my server

[true fractal]

Anyone else having issues with servers staying in an updating/restarting loop, and no ability to force close the server?

[sullen gorge]

@true fractal yes

[short palm]

F

[urban niche]

Yes. T_T

[covert flare]

The map should be up on nitrado now for everyone !! @urban ore

[dull apex]

Did you try checking the box for player servers when searching?

[sullen gorge]

Just got my server to update and restart

[urban ore]

Thank you ill go check

[sullen gorge]

Nevermind I think it is in a restart loop

[urban ore]

yep its up just refresh your page

[worn summit]

can confirm nitrado ready to go

[mossy prairie]

They really need to fix Nitrado's restart loop problem

[prisma summit]

How do you get the server to update? Just refresh nitrado? (Xbox if it matters)

[hollow robin]

good luck with that they say all the time its fixed when it constantly breaking they cant fix anything its dumb

[hollow robin]

u have to wait for nitrado to get off there ass and fix things so u have about a week

[ornate raptor]

I did

[gilded copper]

my unofficial server isn't showing up anymore....?

[ornate raptor]

Host is up (0.0016s latency).

PORT STATE SERVICE
7895/udp open|filtered unknown

Port is exposed to the public... Am I missing a peer port or something?

[ornate raptor]

Does ASA Dedicated use TCP?

[dim matrix]

Have you updated your client and the server client?

[gilded copper]

no updates are showing available. nitrado JUST updates about 10 minutes ago, but my game doesnt have an update yet.

[raven wigeon]

whats the center map name to put on dedicated server??

[bleak ivy]

TheCenter_WP

[raven wigeon]

yjx

[gilded copper]

don't put that for custom map

i did, my server has not show back up yet even after going back to scorched

[bleak ivy]

are you on win10 or xbox?

[gilded copper]

i use the xbox app on my win 10

[bleak ivy]

can you see center in singleplayer? thought it didn't update yet.

[gilded copper]

my game has not updated yet. nitrado finally did so center is now a map option. before i was told to put center_wp under custom map to get it to update. did not work >.>

[river tinsel]

do you guys get a no session find when you join a server ?

[spice canyon]

Yes

[bleak ivy]

#announcements officials is down.

[river tinsel]

on unofficial

[bleak ivy]

make sure you update.

[spice canyon]

We did

[bleak ivy]

they shouldn't be down on mass. nitrado may still be having issues tho

[hollow hemlock]

Yeah the WC network is doing something. Our dedicated, non-Nitrado unofficials are doing it too.

[bleak ivy]

hmm? I can still see a bunch of unofficials.

[hollow hemlock]

See yes, but try to join

[river tinsel]

yeah but you can't join them

[tired vessel]

i can see them, but i can't connect to any -- just hangs when trying. I can see the connection from my server log, but the character never loads its session

[bleak ivy]

hmm, yeah.

[river tinsel]

i think when they say official network down, it's the whole network

[hollow hemlock]

Seems you gotta just keep trying to join. Took a dozen or so tries but eventually lets you in

[tired vessel]

when connecting to new servers that have mods that I dont use, I've notice the mod downloads sit at 0% -- i suspect maybe a curse problem?

[winter ocean]

I cant join the servers either, unsure whats goin on. Also gettin a popup telling me to repurchase a premium map

[bleak ivy]

its curseforge.

[hollow hemlock]

Yeah I had that as well - I had to manually go to the modlist to download/update any mods. Then go back to the server listing and kept trying

[bleak ivy]

non-modded servers are joinable

they are most likely updating for playstation premium mods and the entire thing is down

[tired vessel]

yup, confirmed i can join unmodded servers first try

[bleak ivy]

noticed because it was trying to reinstall all my mods

I just got in btw so its probably fine now

[tired vessel]

same

[bleak ivy]

so it was just some curseforge issue. it should be fixed

[bleak ivy]

should be fixed now, I got into my server.

[winter ocean]

Just noticed on my end too, Excellent!

[bleak ivy]

it was curseforge, should be fixed now

[tender nimbus]

yea me to after the update

any way of joining a password protected server on the console?

ive tried "openxxx.xxx.xx:1234? password"
and still pops up wrong password.

[native wave]

password doesn't work on the console command

[vital token]

How does setting up an unoffical server with Nitrado work with paid DLC like Bob's Tall tales or Pyromane?

What happens to players without that paid content?

[bleak ivy]

they just can't use it. they can join just fine. no setup on the server host's end either.
both's content are in the core game just requires the DLC to use. (bob's tall tale items vary)

[tender nimbus]

they get to watch the kool kids with there cool hats and stuff

[vital token]

So if a player owns the pyromanes, if they give a non-owner a cryo with pyromane or unclaims one, the non-owner cannot use it in anyway?

[bleak ivy]

if it works like the oasisaur, you won't be able to claim it. but you can use it if its in your tribe.

the oasisaur just needs it to tame/claim

[vital token]

Another question, I havent done Nitrado since ASE, does setting up the mods work the same way, and what about premium mods?

[bleak ivy]

premium mods require everybody to own the mod to join the server. premium mods should work the same as normal mods.
I don't use nitrado so don't know for sure but should just have a spot for mod IDs

[tender nimbus]

if i dont want my server name to show up in the list can i just block port 27015?

[vital token]

Are there other ways than Nitrado that don't involve the host owning their own hardware?

[bleak ivy]

ASA is just nitrado.

and self-host

[tender nimbus]

rent a didcated server

[vital token]

are there utilities for self hosting like there was with ASE or is it just setting up a non-dedicated server on the ASA client?

[flat skiff]

Is the shastasaurus a downloadable mod or is it just in the game

[vital token]

thats what im thinking but idk how it works for ASA vs ASE

[bleak ivy]

you can host a dedicated server through steam (either download with steamCMD or just the tools section of the client)
I keep hearing about different server managers but I don't use any for ASA.

[tender nimbus]

pretty much the same

[flat skiff]

Are my messages invisible

[bleak ivy]

its just on the center. its a normal dino.

[flat skiff]

Thank you

[tender nimbus]

there pretty much the same, downloade the server files frome steam plug ur settings open ur ports and away you go

[bleak ivy]

yes

[flat skiff]

And the pyromancer

[bleak ivy]

spawns on the center, requires the DLC to tame.

[vital token]

@bleak ivy @tender nimbus thank you

[flat skiff]

wtf

[vital token]

if i have a second PC, but with older specs, can i still host the dedicated server for an ASA map? It was able to play ASA but on way way lower settings

[valid urchin]

hey i need help. i set up a server on the island through nintrado and whenever i kill a dino they immediately disappear. cant harvest meat. where did i go wrong and how do i fix this?

[tender nimbus]

you dont need much of a pc for you and ur buddies.

[vital token]

sweet

is there a simple guide or video for that, that you know of so i dont have to come back here a million times asking about how to set up rates and connecting and stuff?

[bleak ivy]

there is a guide in the pins

[vital token]

youre the best pumpkin

[wispy schooner]

Anyone else having their fert eggs spoil immediately since patch

[sly minnow]

Heyy I have a problem with the textures of the game, I even see the map blurry all the time, also my character is blurry. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[pale latch]

This might be a super dumb question but is there any way to remove the need to type admincheat for authorized users

so e.g. instead of admincheat gcm it would be gcm

[tender nimbus]

so after i updated my server files.

• my server no longer shows up in the list
• i use console to direct connect and after loading for 10 sec it says host timed out
• i try again and it loads i hear dinos and my game locks up

moral of the story, dont update your server files unless you have to.

[raven wigeon]

i take it u can-t take in and out stuff from the center for the next 2 months right_

[humble thicket]

So in the Center in the underground part. It won’t let us build on our server. Even tho we have it set to let us build in caves. Why can’t we build down below. Keeps saying there is no snap point which makes no sense when I’m trying to put down my first foundation. Anyone have any ideas?

[river tinsel]

big issue regarding FPS on the Center

big fps drop 😦

[upper anchor]

what is the official map name for center that i must write in my batch?

[native wave]

TheCenter_WP

[upper anchor]

thx

[toxic bluff]

whats the coords for underground?

[humble thicket]

Well the enterance that is my favorite to use is 35.8 48.6. There is other enterance but I don’t care for them. @toxic bluff

[valid urchin]

😭 well dont help me then

[raven wigeon]

im getting fps drops on island and center after update

and stuttering

[young zenith]

yo i want to download center dlc, but steam says i cant because i dont have enough GB left

but i have like 100 gb left a

[toxic bluff]

TY! trying to find the coords for the one you can fly a bird into but im glad i found it now

[silver thistle]

U do that via curseforge on nitrado, then ther4 is a line on beacon in general where u add the list of mods to it that way as well

[humble thicket]

Can’t fly a bird into this one. You gotta cryo pod your tame and swim down into the hole. Then jump off the waterfall and fall down into the water. Then you go to the small island and throw your bird out. But it’s so fun

[young zenith]

can someone help me?

[molten palm]

Good morning everyone 🌞 Does anyone know of a mod that is comparable to RR Boxes, other than Automated Ark? A mod that perhaps includes something that puts fertilizer from Dungbeetle into the plant pot? And takes the harvest out of the plant pot?

[tawdry wraith]

Anyone having issues with difficulty? We have it set to 7.0, offset 1.8571 to produce wild levels up to 210 but it seems to be defaulting in increments of 5 General settings have 7.0 difficulty is there a setting that needs to be changed.?

[compact goblet]

Anyone else not getting cave spawns in the center?

[native wave]

just overrideofficialdifficulty=7.0 should be enough to get 210. offset not needed

[tawdry wraith]

Yeah we have it set to that in the INI and in general settings but it seems to be spawning dinos in increments of 5

[native wave]

as I said, getting rid of the offset would be my first thing I would change

[tawdry wraith]

just leave it blank or remove that line from the INI, because previously that was required for it to work?

it wasnt working before we added the offset so i dont think thats the issue, '

[agile summit]

Is transfers open for centre

[heavy bough]

@tawdry wraith You need to have MaxDifficulty=False in game.ini

[raven wigeon]

was the patch only for officials_

[tawdry wraith]

I thought that was the issue! i will try that it was set to true.

[spare token]

What is the Map name for TheCenter ?

[peak radish]

i cant install the center and im playing ark via xbox game pass, when i try to install it as an addon a blank window pops up and never loads the option to install.

any ideas?

[agile summit]

TheCentre_WP

[raven wigeon]

did the update rolled out for pvt servers?

[native wave]

yes

[raven wigeon]

mine isn't updating!!!!

[native wave]

you talking about the latest bug fix patch?

[raven wigeon]

yes

[native wave]

then no, they haven't pushed it to public yet

[raven wigeon]

ahhh, typical

[fathom meadow]

Anyone help me at all, I have the arkitect structures remasters mod on my servers, it was working fine. All of a sudden yesterday I’m in gcm and go to craft some asr structures and they were no where to be seen… also bases that were made from asr have gone missing too from players bases is there a fix for this? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the mod, it’s 1st on the list as well

[native wave]

so my main lost his name in transferring from the island and the center and back again

just named Player now

will check again tomorrow. headed to bed now

[deep laurel]

Is the mod still listed on curseforge?

[fathom meadow]

Yes it is mate

[deep laurel]

Do you have a backup of the map file?

[fathom meadow]

You mean do a roll back on the server?

If so I’ve done that and that didn’t work either

[deep laurel]

Weird, have you reached out to the mod developer if they have a discord to see if anyone else is having that issue?

[fathom meadow]

I looked on the curseforge page where his mod is and tried to look for a dc but couldn’t see anything

Which is annoying lol

[deep laurel]

Yeah that sucks I tend to avoid mods that don’t have some sort of support listed to see how active devs are

[molten palm]

I sent you a pm with the ASR discord

[agile summit]

Centre transfers from island isnt working on my server but trasnfers from scorched to centre are

[left anchor]

Does anyone have the MAP ID for the center?

[native wave]

TheCenter_WP

[left anchor]

Cheers

[clever trail]

Anyone know if clustering is working now?

[native wave]

working fine (mostly). though after the center launch my main lost his name and is now just "Player"...noticed just before logging off for the night

[willow veldt]

Anyone know why I can't build in the subway cave on The Center ?
AllowCaveBuildingPvE=True is ok

[native wave]

there's a few things broken on the center....like cave flyers enabled still ends up dismounting you in certain caves

[clever trail]

Not able to see my servers on in-game browser but can see them on battlemetrics and i think thats why i'm not able to see them in the travel to another server window

[native wave]

they have the same ClusterID, use different ports, and share a directory they can all read/write to?

[clever trail]

yip this is the settings i'm using -clusterid=qwerty123987 -ClusterDirOverride="C:\MyARKClusterStorage"

[native wave]

hope that's not actually your cluster id....you should not post that publicly anywhere

[clever trail]

no that is not it just a placeholder xd

[native wave]

k, just making sure 🙂

battlemetrics can see them but you can't....that's odd

doesn't really have anything to do with the cluster if you can't see them in the in game browser

if you couldn't see them in the cluster browser but can see them in the in game browser...that would be a cluster issue

[clever trail]

It also don't make sense but if i change my clusterid to something general like cluster1 i can see other peoples servers no problem

[clever trail]

i'm not able to see them there at all

I'm selfhosting from South Africa and no one here with a self host machine are able to see their server in the server browser, everyone has to join with the open ip:port command

[native wave]

they are responding to battlemetrics as they should right? They don't appear offline or anything

[clever trail]

Yip battlemetrics can see them no issue. can i share the battlemetrics link here?

[native wave]

nope

[clever trail]

Its even seeing my Center map i just added like 10 min ago

[native wave]

your internet has a public ip assigned?

[clever trail]

Jip its through a datacenter and my ASE cluster is working perfectly no issues

[tawdry wraith]

Thanks for your tip earlier about Maxdifficulty=true to false this allowed my custom level base settings as well as my dino levels mod to do increments of 7. the goat 🙂

[native wave]

I'm afraid I don't know then, definitely more of you just can't see the server on the in game browser than a cluster issue though

[clever trail]

Oky but thanks anyway

[heavy bough]

You're welcome, glad it worked.

[willow veldt]

Anyone know why I can't build in the subway cave on The Center ?

AllowCaveBuildingPvE=True is ok

[hardy pelican]

was the cryo bug on unnoficial?

wow

and they still haven't given us a patch

[heavy bough]

You mean, the hotfix is not available at all, or only for Nitrado users ?

Oh ok, so even dedicated servers not hosted on Nitrado can't update ?

Thank you, I didn't know that, much appreciated.

[novel oasis]

Any settings guides that go in depth on how each setting affects the game, most guides I've followed have me gathering resources, xp and tames at silly rates which makes for a boring experience imo.

[foggy stream]

Anyone know how to fix stuck at refreshing ark inventory at tek transmitter?

[raven wigeon]

what was the problem with cryos?? is it safe to open my private server?

[frigid vine]

I'm also interested. Whats the current problem with cryopods?

[waxen pebble]

im not seeing official servers

[clever trail]

My dinos stats reset when uploading from scorched and downloading on Center

[frigid vine]

What do you mean by stats reset?
The stats which you have already leveled before? So means you start at the initial tamed level?

[clever trail]

I had a lvl alomst 300 with HP at almost 10k and after downloading the lvl stayed the same but health back at 510 (that was base)
But it looks to only affect dinos not native to Center

But i'm able to live with that so is my players thanks

[toxic hazel]

Maybe like the Cera glitch? had to cryo the cera and throw out to show norm stats

[fallow marsh]

Anyone else have an issue with uploading character from scorched and going back to the island or to the center and character not listed? We have two servers through Nitrado.

[foggy plinth]

CWorkThreadPool::~CWorkThreadPool: work processing queue not empty: 1 items discarded. this error came when i was downloading Server for The Center

what do i do? should i reinstall?

[inner cloud]

has anyone had issues with the center where your server shows up but times out on joining?

i'm running a cluster and the other maps are working just fine... all ports are forwarded correctly, rcon control is working for the centre just fine

this is what's showing in the server window (edited to remove certain info)
Server: "[AU][PVE]ScallisGaming_ASA_The_Center" has successfully started!
Commandline: TheCenter_WP?listen?Port=<forwardedport>?QueryPort=<forwardedqueryport>? -clusterid=<myclusterID> -clusterdiroverride=<myclusterdir> -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -serverrconoutputtribelogs -ServerPlatform=ALL -WinLiveMaxPlayers=16 -usebattleye -mods=929902,939234,929521,929868,928793,929420

shows up in battlemetrics just fine etc

[snow cave]

anything goin on with last update? my server is set to auto update and ever since 45.15 its not showing up in my client list anymore (my client is xbox live tho and i understand there may be issues with the latest patch)

its not network connectivity, i can see the packets flying

[distant hearth]

on battlemetrics does it show as running the port you think it is , often ?port= doesnt work and has to be done with -port=

Side note asa doesnt use a queryport so not needed ,?listen not needed, it defaults to all platforms and using battleye so -serverplatform=all and -usebattleye not needed

an example of a simple ASA working batch file if port 8888 udp is forwarded through firewall and router
Start C:\arkserver1\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willzlaptop" -port=8888 -winlivemaxplayers=10 -clusterid=<myclusterID> -clusterdiroverride=<myclusterdir>

[inner cloud]

cheers for the additonal config info - the listen port is showing just fine in battlemetrics it's the exact listen port it's configured for

[distant hearth]

hmm ok, was hoping it was a simple port error, usually when they timeout its that , the other thing is the servers sometimes show as running but arent actually running properly, its a weird thing asa does.
Worth trying it without the mods , just incase one is causing an issue

[inner cloud]

i can view the server screen - physical hardware

i think it might be a mod - am running a sp game with the mods to check

[distant hearth]

yea people have had it where its in ticking loop ,status green , but its not actually running properly for some reason and always timeouts on connecting

[inner cloud]

so will also try a restart - for the nth time on the server 😄

[snow cave]

am i reading correctly that its the xbox client that is scuffed atm with connecting to the latest version of the unofficial server?

because my server worked fine up until the 45.15 update last night

and is actively showing up in BattleMetrics as polling

[slim turret]

Anyone else havving issues to find center ingame?

I added the map to the cluster but we cant find it. Nnot ingame if we search the name and not if you try to travel trough the arks :/ but the map is online

[inner cloud]

same result with no mods... frustrating to say the least...

[snow cave]

curious, @inner cloud what client are you using to check for the server?

[waxen pebble]

are official servers down on steam? It says no sessions found for both official and unofficial

[distant hearth]

yea, my next step would be to try a differnt port,forward that an see, if that doesnt work, verify the files or a fresh install , then get it running and joinable with the simplest batch file i can

[distant hearth]

working fine for me

[inner cloud]

already did a different port - that was one of my first things I decided to change just in case it was a port clash (which it shouldn't as each of my physical servers use specific port ranges in blocks for the port forwards for the games that run on them and the games then are configured to be within the range allocated to the physical server... will have to do a verify for sure. it's showing up in the terminal at the oblelisk in scorched earth but timing out on joining from there as well

[foggy plinth]

One question I have now the Center Server set up and the port for it, I used 7779 do I need to give it permission in the Firewall too? For 7777 and 7778 i'm not sure anymre

[distant hearth]

yes every port used needs to be forwarded through firewall and router

[foggy plinth]

When I started the server, my Windows defender asked for permission and I pressed allow, is it done now? I really don't remember doing that with the other two parts but what ever

[foggy plinth]

I know why

You have to select all maps at the top (the bug is back ...)

[distant hearth]

thats giving the server permission, but it will still need the port that you define forwarding in order to allow incoming connections

[waxen pebble]

wow, i wish someone said that sooner lol. im already reinstalling the game cause i was worried my babies weere gonna die

[foggy plinth]

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7779 -Protocol UDP -Action Allow
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Outbound -LocalPort 7779 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ASA Server" -Direction Outbound -LocalPort 7779 -Protocol UDP -Action Allow```

[foggy plinth]

Could that look like that?

[snow cave]

only servers that show up are 43.18 in unofficial when youre using xbox based clients (pc or console). my server is running 45.15 since last night so doesnt show up. RIP

[distant hearth]

yea is fine, they only need udp port

[foggy plinth]

oh okey yea i made both now

But tbf isn't it a security risk opening these Ports? Like anyone could try to connect to them right?

[foggy plinth]

LOL

Now they might 🤣

[edgy escarp]

windows XBOX DIES

[snow cave]

yes techincally you could put a WAF in front of it and inspect what packets are being sent to your ports to detect exploit attempts..... but thats overkill

but thats why we have patches and updates to close vulnerability in exposed internet applications 🙂

[distant hearth]

i guess so , but likely you have a load ports open anyway , most computers do... anything on the internet technically carries a risk

[foggy plinth]

It probably is yea and I can deactivate the Port via my router if I want too then nothing could breach anyway but opening them all the time I open up the server is annoying xD

[snow cave]

thats why they invented Upnp which is what most of your games use to punch open ports on-the-fly

[foggy plinth]

I don't think anyone got hacked by now, bc they had there ports open for there Ark server🤣

[snow cave]

if youre running a dedicated server, maekse sense to statically map the forwarded ports and not rely on UPnP which is a gross thing to exist in the first place

[foggy plinth]

It doesn't even matter that much bc my firewall only lets people take a connection to the server and nothing else

[snow cave]

well not to derail this into a security thread, but if your server is running code that is exposed to the itnernet and that code has weaknesses such as remote code execution vulnerabilities (buffer overflows, use after free, etc.) they can essentially run code under the context of your server and then pivot from that host to whatever else it has access to on your internal network. unless you setup the server in a segmented part of your network

[dusky radish]

is center ready for home private servers? Whats the map name switch to use in the start.bat?

[zenith stone]

Yes, use TheCenter_WP

[hollow crypt]

is pyro kitty a mod i have to have on the servers or is it base game content?

[foggy plinth]

Base game content like Bob Tall tales

[hollow crypt]

wait can i dlete the mod for bobs tall tales if its base game then?

[spare echo]

Why I can’t play center on pc Xbox

[languid forge]

Is there any way to implement the below setting to make sure everyone that logs into my server that is automatically applies them?

• R.VolumetricFog 0
• R.VolumetricCloud 0
• Grass.SizeScale 0.5
• Grass.DensityScale 2

[pure haven]

Is there any way to check name tags for modded creatures besides asking mod devs for it? Can beacon show it?

[zenith stone]

You can remove them from your library so you do not have access to them but the content files are baked into the base game so that you can see people's builds and clothes that are using them

[hazy viper]

They dropped the map without it passing cert on windows 10

[cold brook]

Hi folks, Center won't start for us due to a mod. Anyone happen to know what mod it could be before I start taking apart our modlist piece by piece?

[languid forge]

Did you look in your server console. It makes validates each mod, should tell you which one is invalid

example:

Moving ../../../ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ShooterGame/Mods/83374/.temp/940786_5382034 to ../../../ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ShooterGame/Mods/83374/940786_5382034 ...

[cold brook]

Sadly all mods show valid but worth a try thanks

[languid forge]

compare to your mods codes, the invalid one will not display. so just need to do process of elimination.

@cold brook I found this out when my cosmetic mod was removed. Had to find the code that was not valid by searching all the valid codes.

[spare echo]

I mean windows 11

Why I can’t play the center on window 11

[fervent tree]

Windows 11 = Windows 10 = XBox in regards to updates for ark.

Steam and Epic are independent

[cold brook]

We have 18 mods on the server, 18 mods show as valid. I removed the 4 Ark Additions we have and the server starts :)

[spare echo]

L Microsoft

[spare echo]

Is it available now?

[zenith stone]

Incorrect. The updates and how they are applied are down to the delivery system, Steam, Epic, Xbox Game Pass, etc.

[cold brook]

Presumably there will be an update direct from WC with reference to windows releases

[fervent tree]

Yes, and XBox and Windows 10/11 (Store or Game Pass Version) share the same delivery system. Steam and Epic have an independent delivery system

[jaunty vortex]

Don’t need gigantoraptor, it’s in the game now.

[spare echo]

So you mean there is something wrong and they will fix it tmro?

[fervent tree]

Yes, they haven't got the certification from Microsoft yet. They'll release it when they get it

[hazy viper]

I didnt mean to type windows 10 lol. You can't get the update on windows in general

[smoky seal]

Is it possible to remove this cryopod option on nitrado ? "Capture Prevented: Creature Recently Injured"

[spare echo]

When you think they will got it

[languid forge]

Is there any way to implement the below setting to make sure everyone that logs into my server that is automatically applies them?

R.VolumetricFog 0
R.VolumetricCloud 0
Grass.SizeScale 0.5
Grass.DensityScale 2

[toxic hazel]

Ports should be showing in this command line, I had the same issue before because I had my ports were listed in the wrong section of the ini files

[native wave]

yeah if the game port is different from the standard 7777, it needs to be in the startup command line with -port=xxxx

[toxic hazel]

Would also double check they are listed under [SessionSettings] in the GUS.ini and not anywhere else in there

[tacit thistle]

I am unable to start my server with TheCenter map. I keep getting this error : Plugin 'ChaosVehiclesPlugin' failed to load because module 'ChaosVehicles' could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.
I don't use any plugin for my server. Any idea?

[silver dragon]

My server does not start with TheCenter either. But I don’t get an error code it just stays on booting, in a way it behaves as if it booted because the dot turns green but no

[brazen forum]

Can someone help me, it's my first time playing and when I want to enter a server it gives me a connection error

[silver dragon]

I tested the server with other maps changing only the map name in the command string, the server works for the other maps no issues which means my firewall and such are configured fine

[slow basin]

Anybody have Blueprint path for pyromane?

[trail elm]

Anyone else seen or heard of a fix for the cryos being able to cryo any players dino. Or is this a waiting on WC situation.

[olive talon]

Known bug

[trail elm]

Thank you, just wanted to check.

[long lagoon]

My game.ini file is empty. When i place a config in it and start the server the game.ini becomes empty again

what i am trying to do is increase the levels on the dinos

[buoyant lintel]

anyone ready for ark 2 and wants to tribe lmk

have a lot of excperience 7500 hours in ark 1 and over 7 servers with bases

[native wave]

set the game.ini and gameusersettings.ini to read only

[dim matrix]

You'll need to edit the gus.ini and not the game.ini

Under "Server Settings" you're looking to increase DifficultyOffset and OverrideOfficialDifficulty

[long lagoon]

ok but shouldnt there be stuff in the game.ini right now if i set it to read only it would be empty until i put something in it

[dim matrix]

You can get a rough breakdown of what the multipliers will produce if you check out the difficulty section of the wiki

[native wave]

you put what changes you want, then set to read only before starting the server and it will not be able to overwrite the files

[long lagoon]

will do

[native wave]

but also I believe @dim matrix is correct, the changes should go in GUS.ini. the read only is still necessary so the server does not remove the changes

[marsh elm]

Hey guys quick question why could players transfer from scorched to centre and not straight from island in my cluster ran on nitrado

[native wave]

you can refer to the wiki for where certain settings go https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[native wave]

does the center not show up in the server list when transferring from the island?

[marsh elm]

Yes

Sorry I mean you are correct it doesn’t 🤣

[native wave]

so scorched can see center and the island? can island see scorched?

[marsh elm]

Yes island can see scorched

[native wave]

what can center see?

[marsh elm]

The server was originally a mod map and was a private server we just wiped and set it as centre

I’ll ask I’m currently not online

[native wave]

does it still have a password?

[marsh elm]

No checked that first and they can leave scorched the normal way

[native wave]

are they all on hosted on the same server?

and internet connection?

[marsh elm]

I figured it out both servers had the same name

Thanks for the help

[native wave]

oh that could be it lol

sometimes helps just to double check all the configurations

[ornate raptor]

Anyone want to sit in a VC and help me figure out what I have messed up?

I know the ports are forwarded, I can see them via port scan from outside my network. I know the servers are started. I know they have correct names. I cannot see them listed at BM or in the server listing directory. When I attempt to join directly with the open commnad it does nothing.

[native wave]

likely a firewall issue somewhere on your connection

[ornate raptor]

That was my thought, but I can see open ports from outside my network

[strong lava]

Anyone have a work around for not being able to find your nitrado server in the server list?
Both of my friends on console can find and join it, but since i changed the map filter (and back) it's not showing for me in the server browser

[ornate raptor]

sudo nmap -sU 69.10.125.226 -p7895
Starting Nmap 7.92 ( ) at 2024-06-05 12:40 CDT

PORT STATE SERVICE

[native wave]

if BM isn't seeing them then they aren't reporting to the EOS API correctly

[ornate raptor]

Does that need a different port?

[fluid sparrow]

Help

[ornate raptor]

or a different service?

[native wave]

no, ASA servers only operate off of one port, the game port (and optional RCON port)

[fluid sparrow]

I've got the new dlc dino, now I can't get back into centre map

[ornate raptor]

netstat /aon|findstr 17324
TCP 0.0.0.0:32342 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 17324
TCP 10.0.1.30:61099 108.157.142.120:443 CLOSE_WAIT 17324
UDP 0.0.0.0:7895 : 17324

All I see are the RCON and map ports for the game's PID

[distant hearth]

asa only needs the one udp forwarded through firewall and your router/what ever between you and internet to work , start with a simple batch file first , get it working and joinable then go more complicated.

[ornate raptor]

The get it joinable part is what I am after right now

[distant hearth]

eample of simple btach that works for asa

Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willzlaptop" -port=8888 -winlivemaxplayers=10

[ornate raptor]

start G:\ASA\servers\TheCenter\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe "TheCenter_WP" -port=7899 -UseServerNetSpeedCheck -WinLiveMaxPlayers=20 -notransferfromfiltering -clusterid={clusterID} -ClusterDirOverride="G:\ASA\cluster" -UseBattlEye

thats my batch file. It launches the server

[distant hearth]

you might want to give it a name

[ornate raptor]

Server: "Crossark714-ASA-Island" has successfully started!

[distant hearth]

you dont need usebattleye they default to it being used

[ornate raptor]

it has the name in the config file

The island server was working and joinable wirth this config not long ago

well, the one I posted is for my center map, but the only difference is the port. 7895 instead of 7899

[distant hearth]

did you forward 7895 inbound in firewall , then also in router

[ornate raptor]

yes

[distant hearth]

hmm not sure then, prehaps a port conflict, just try a complete differnt one

[ornate raptor]

This is a scna from outside of my network showing the open port

[distant hearth]

also check in the gus.ini after server started , might be its giving it some random default name

i always prefer to do it in the batch , asa likes to randomly wipe the ini

[native wave]

setting the inis to read only is recommended. I use 444 for the permissions on mine. I can still edit them in the pterodactyl interface

[distant hearth]

i set mine read only , if i need to edit i just switch back

[native wave]

noticed one thing: ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?....

that's how my command lines are setup

no quotes...they are not necessary so long as there are no spaces

my command line for my center map:
TheCenter_WP?listen?AltSaveDirectoryName=ASACenter7783?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6.0 -port=7783 -mods=928793,931877,928548,912815,928708,928597,939228,930404,931047,928621,927131 -NoBattlEye -exclusivejoin -NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride=/ThunderCluster/ -clusterid=nope -WinLiveMaxPlayers=15 -oldconsole -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs

[distant hearth]

?listen not needed but generally aslong as the format is correct it just ignores what it dont use

[native wave]

yeah don't think it's needed

[distant hearth]

100% its not needed, mine dont use it

the dodgy guide i wrote dont have it in an bout dozen people now set up server from it

[exotic stone]

hey guys me and my mate are playing ark at the moment and my mate owns the nitrado server so my question is if i was to rent my own nitrado server would we be able to transfer dino to eachothers maps

[native wave]

server name is in my GUS.ini

[native wave]

yes so long as you have the same clusterID setup

[distant hearth]

if you setup the crossark with the exact same id yes

[distant hearth]

when i was messing about learning about batch files and the servers in winter, i tried to get the simplest one possible ,
u can use
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP
it will start the server assign it a random name in gus.ini an run on port 7777udp

[native wave]

works, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it unless the bit of OCD I have kicks in

[distant hearth]

if it aint broke dont fix for sure

[native wave]

currently gotta see if I can get my main's character name back...got lost in the transfers I did yesterday

[ornate raptor]

I could see this bieing an issue if the servers were not starting, but they are

[ornate raptor]

Trying this now

[native wave]

and character name back on logging back in...strange

[distant hearth]

ark do like to do the weird ark things, had that once before and relog fixed it

[native wave]

I noticed it just before I went to bed last night as I was finishing up a tame of a (turns out) worthless 180 rex (max level for my server)

missed out on a good 180 rex that got stomped by a brachi when I couldn't lure it into my trap

[spare raft]

Hi boys, I have a problem (again :p) ... I use ARK Rcon Admin ... and since this morning is break ... I can connect that ... I use a Public IP and port is good because my player game on my serveur .. Do you have an idea ? 😢

Sorry for my english, I'm French (Baguette)

[ornate raptor]

can anyone try to direct connect to 69.10.125.226:7895 ?

[hot chasm]

hello, when i try to join my own dedicated server, i see that an ip adress is incoming but on my pc i just get a black screen. any help?

[solar furnace]

Hi! Is Nitrado showing The Center as an option yet?

[distant hearth]

everyone

[distant hearth]

shud be

[distant hearth]

pc is good enough to run server and game at same time?

[bleak ocean]

Can you help me how do I deactivate custom cosmetics? Transferring to a new map is a

[ornate raptor]

I am still not having any luck. I even installed a clean server and started with the only flag in the batchfile being the map name and port. Stock configs and all...

[hot chasm]

does anyone know shastasaurus saddle spawn command

[distant hearth]

it wud point to a port forward issue to me, can u test it on one of your other ports that you know is working? just temporarily ,if nothing else rules that out

[distant hearth]

cheat gfi PrimalItemArmor_ShastaSaddle_Submarine 1 0 0

[ornate raptor]

Tried on a new port as well as taking my working ASE Island server down and using the 7777 port from that. Same result

[broken halo]

So cosmetics still blocking transfers I see has anyone found a work around?

[distant hearth]

thats weird asf , im kinda at a loss now then sry ...
especially simce u did a fresh server install
just to check you can join other maps fine right? its not a client side issue

[ornate raptor]

I can join other people's servers

[distant hearth]

cool, was just checking as a last straw tbh

[ornate raptor]

I even see an aws instance connecting to it over 443 so I know it can communicate out to the public. I am so confused. I played on the island server for months.

[distant hearth]

island server still works if you try to get on it now ?
its not uncommon for routers to update an wipe out any custom port forwarding...

[ornate raptor]

No, I cant get any of my ASA maps to work

My ASE cluster is up and running just fine though

I have done external port scans to prove that my network and firewall are not the issue.

[distant hearth]

you on a server version of windows?

[ornate raptor]

the port specified in the launch command should be the only port needed, correct? There is no listeners or query ports in asa.

Windows Server 2019 with Windows firewall disabled

[winter kindle]

hey anyone know how to increase the maxiumum mods i can have on my dedicated server from 3 to 5?

[ornate raptor]

Standard edition\

[distant hearth]

if so someone else had a similar issue with server version an they had to install some certificate or summit ...

[ornate raptor]

You know, I kinda remember that. Something to do wit epic root ca

[winter kindle]

hey anyone know how to increase the concurring mod cap?

[distant hearth]

yea summit like, its the only thing i can think of

[broken halo]

Didn't think there was a cap except for space wise

[distant hearth]

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

[ornate raptor]

rebooting the hardware then we will see

[distant hearth]

if it doesnt work, hit it with a hammer, thats my last resort lmao ]

[ornate raptor]

got a hammer?

[broken halo]

Hey will you know of a fix for transfers to be turned off and still allow character yet?

[distant hearth]

shud work fine now

[broken halo]

Nothing working man that socks I've been following along when did it all start ?

[distant hearth]

really ? damm i felt sure that was gonna be the issue

[broken halo]

It's not I tried it today with center hoping to go the way official does but cosmetics still blocking

[ornate raptor]

Guess its back to ASE for me and my crew

[distant hearth]

if u set the ini like this , shud be fine

PreventDownloadDinos=True
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False```

I did read something about an issue downloading from cloud though, the work around they have is to direct transfer map to map not from cloud

[ornate raptor]

I have had both Island and SE running in ASA, but when I tried to launch Center it all quit...

I even spoent way too much money upgrading my server just for ASA. Nothing like Dual 10 cores and 256GB of ram for an ASE cluster

[broken halo]

Are you using a GSM or just through steam cmd ?

[ornate raptor]

I use Ark Server Manager for ASE and steamcmd for ASA

This is really dumb. I can see it reachout to the listing server...
TCP 10.0.1.30:51502 108.157.142.61:443 ESTABLISHED 9348

TCP 10.0.1.30:52285 54.221.246.55:443 SYN_SENT 9348
That is epic's listing server

[broken halo]

I have similar tower build just dual 12 core and been running 4 maps of Asa now 5 with center im using windows GSM to manage em its not as user friendly as some its pretty simplistic

[distant hearth]

there on v45.15? i know the answer yes but just to check

[fair shadow]

Can I host a player dedicated server from Microsoft Xbox?

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve got Island, SE and Center running but I use Brads ASAM.

[ornate raptor]

yep.

[distant hearth]

doesnt help that ced the clown cant type an put 43.15 in patch notes , coz its not importnant right

[distant hearth]

no, that wud be non-dedicated

[fair shadow]

How do I go about setting that up?

[ornate raptor]

THe servers are running and making connections out to the world. I can see them from outside of my network, I just cant connect to them or see them in the server listings. Have had several friends try

[distant hearth]

dunno , prob just follow instructions on screen ? its just glorified single player

[broken halo]

Dang you type fast lol

[fair shadow]

It doesnt even let me choose that option or The Center Map lol

[jaunty vortex]

Definitely all on different ports? Are people choosing the right filters?

[distant hearth]

lolz im slow , i stab at keyboard with two fingers and have to look at it ... old an never learned to touch type

[broken halo]

I'm on my phone so that might be why too plus I'm old lol

[ornate raptor]

Ports are good. I can see them close when I shut down the server. As far as filters, Show Player Servers is selected and its named crossark714

[distant hearth]

oh 100% it wud take me five mins to type a single sentence on phone, i dont get on with them very well

[broken halo]

I haven't been on Xbox in years but I can't imagine it doesn't have a single player option every version should

[broken halo]

I look it up on ps5

Are any of them up right now ?

[distant hearth]

did you try naming it something else incase someone else got that name,
use something simple yet unique, like,
sessionname="killzallcentremap" as a test

[fair shadow]

It only allows me to do a scorched earth and the island map though

[ornate raptor]

I have removed all of the server side configs and let it give me the random name. It still didnt work

[jaunty vortex]

Does it show in battle metrics?

[broken halo]

@ornate raptor I sent you a dm it's an option to try maybe

[distant hearth]

if ure on windows version, i think they still dint release it on that yet

[fair shadow]

😦

[jaunty vortex]

Which is mad when Xbox is approved.

[broken halo]

It should be available but then again I don't have a clue honestly

[distant hearth]

seperate entities i guess, i dunno how it works tbh, the whole thing is a shit show imo

[broken halo]

Truth

[fair shadow]

Yeah I just got back on diablo in stead, not worth my time rn

[jaunty vortex]

IIRC, Xbox is running a bespoke copy of Windows with the dashboard front end. So you’d think they wouldn’t be that different to approve.

[sharp oriole]

Hey guys soooo I’ve seen a couple of Xbox people having issues with the buying of the center map and my question is if it isn’t somehow included in gamepass already since I have access to pyromane cats because of my subscription of GP which is how I play the game

[broken halo]

The map itself should be free not a purchase like the pryomane

[sharp oriole]

Oh ok so why some people are getting the you don’t own this map issue you know ?

[broken halo]

That's a good question I haven't seen that yet

[distant hearth]

its not released on windows version of game yet

[broken halo]

Ooh really wow

Wildcard strikes again

[distant hearth]

from dollies post in #announcements
The Windows version of the game is still being certified, and we should know more about its status tomorrow.

[vocal wigeon]

My game wont update on xbox 😢 been waiting for so long....

[distant hearth]

wrong channel and everyone elses not having issues. u might waana hard reset the xbox

[vocal wigeon]

sry i meant on xbox app on pc

[tacit thistle]

I am unable to start my server with TheCenter map. I keep getting this error : Plugin 'ChaosVehiclesPlugin' failed to load because module 'ChaosVehicles' could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.
I don't use any plugin for my server. Any idea?

[distant hearth]

try reinstalling or verify the files ?

[thorny stag]

Can someone pass me a good server nitrado settings, thanks

[distant hearth]

not possible, everyone has a differnt idea of good , better to work out what u want an set it up,
ark beacon app/program is good for helping with that, the free version does alot an is awesome for setting up the mating/breeding

[thorny stag]

that makes a lot of sense thanks

[distant hearth]

np , like i can give u my settings and u might hate them, plus mine are for pve , u might be wanting pvp...
its worth spending the time , learn what the stuff does, so in future you can set it easy

[sharp oriole]

He does look like PvP

[thorny stag]

Yes i would love that, at least i can an idea of others settings

[distant hearth]

kk will dm them to you , but i guarantee it wont help without knowing basics

i will note they have custom game ini config to add elemt to the drops, so u will need to delete that part if u dont want that

[severe patrol]

Does someone know we're i can buy an anti Mesh Plugin

[gilded copper]

still no update for windows?

[whole haven]

No.

[gilded copper]

is the wait for the update on windows the reason why i cant find my unofficial server anymore?

[topaz mango]

I have a personal server but it’s not showing up today when I open the game, anyone else having this issue ?

[gilded copper]

me lol

[distant hearth]

if your on windows version, yea, it hasnt got the update yet

[gilded copper]

so i cant even play on my scorched earth server until the update comes through?

[distant hearth]

if your on windows version, correct

[topaz mango]

Perfect 😑

[gilded copper]

Well Dangit

[wooden tartan]

lol booo

[distant hearth]

major version with server and client has to match... u all got just wait for the cert to go through

[gilded copper]

well guess im forced to adult T.T i look forward to the announcement when windows updates

[untold turtle]

Trying to be able to use my admin commands but extra lines got added to the end of the admin password in my .ini and every time I go into notepad and notepad++ to remove and save, when I launch the server it comes right back again.

[eager patrol]

Is the center up for personal servers yet?

[wooden tartan]

Yes.

[eager patrol]

mmm not seeing it as an option For ASADedicatedManager

[signal oyster]

i cant find my server since the outdate yesterday

[meager fox]

is anyone else having problems with center in a restart loop

[wooden tartan]

nitrado?

[meager fox]

i think so

im getting a SQL database is corrupt

and i dont have a back up for it

[wooden tartan]

Dang I cant help you with that. I would shoot there support team a msg for sure.

[meager fox]

they take forever to respond

and for some reason im banned from their discord

its a damn headache rn lol

[low dew]

whats the map id for the center is it TheCenter_WP?

[keen sorrel]

Yes

[distant hearth]

yea

[stable wasp]

Has anyone figured out how to adjust spawn level distribution on a nitrado ASA server? We are tired of low level gigas and rhynios lol

[distant hearth]

custom dino level mod, set it up for ragnarok levels,

or higher if u want

[stable wasp]

I was seeing that that mod hasn't been updated since 2023 so I was a tad worried about that lol

[native wave]

I'm still using it. works well

[distant hearth]

works fine , lots use it

[native wave]

have it on all of my servers...just equalizing out the levels across the board

[stable wasp]

The 1M downloads one right

I assume lol

[native wave]

1.7M

[stable wasp]

Gotcha

[native wave]

project ID 928708

[stable wasp]

Gotcha, how do you mess with the settings for it lol

[native wave]

gameusersettings.ini you add a section defining your settings

[distant hearth]

it explains on the curseforge page for the mod

[stable wasp]

Ah

[native wave]

yeah it's quite well documented....one of the mods I've been using from the start

[stable wasp]

Yeah I promise I'm not helpless I'm just trying not to blow up my server😂

I've run servers in the past but ASE was a whole different ballgame

[native wave]

you're in good hands with that mod 😄

[distant hearth]

theres not much differnce, most settings same,

[native wave]

can't say the same for some of the mods I've tried

yeah between ASE and ASA, it's more about functionality that may not be implemeted on ASA because of the rush to launch

[stable wasp]

Wait so nitrado doesn't have the preset customdistrib section, do I just put the command for high level in the ini?

[distant hearth]

yea, u have the option to access an edit the ini , so you stop server, go in the gameusersetting ini , add the header and options as described on the page

[stable wasp]

Yeah I've heavily messed with the ini just haven't manually inserted

[native wave]

iirc, if you manually edit it, you can't go back to using their interface. I don't know if they have updated it since I last used them (several years ago) to allow switching between them.

[stable wasp]

[Custom level distrib]

Command down here?

[distant hearth]

oh i foregot they added that, didnt it let you just change it in game now ?

[native wave]

It's been several years since I ran an ark server with them. I just rememeber it was one or the other when I was using it. If you switched to manual, you couldn't use the interface without resetting the ini changes

[spark quartz]

My ark dedicated server is running and I can join it and play but my friends cant see it on the steam server list does anybody have any tips or help??

[wise kindle]

If its ASA, there is no difference. The config files section is there from the beginning.

[peak quartz]

How do I set harvest, breeding and hatching speed up in single player I am a person who learn by showing

[sharp oriole]

Hey guys can anyone tell me admin command to give levels to a survivor that is not you

[tight cedar]

Hey i didnt know where else to ask this but, if i add livyatan to me and my friends unofficial server do they all have to buy it as well to play or will it still be optional for them? ive already bought it im just curious

[wise kindle]

Yes

[tight cedar]

well darn...

Theres like 5 bucks gone

[errant fox]

Anyone else have a restart loop after this last update?

[nova pumice]

Asa I have a map that’s modded is there any way for me to say disable a spawn point on said map? As someone wants to build a base in the ruins of it

[clever tendon]

can anyone help me with this error and how I can fix this?

[2024.06.06-05.12.42:851][ 11]ERROR!!! FAtlasSaveManager::LoadOperationSql: SQL database is corrupt and the save game is compromised! Exiting...

[drifting quarry]

Does anyone have a server that won’t start up after update? My scorched earth server won’t start up.

[polar bay]

Our server got wiped after the update, the saves got corrupted somehow

[clever tendon]

same here

[tawdry wraith]

jw what setting it is to change to increase unfert eggs laying time?

[lunar cloud]

ive had this happen on an unmodded server. Suspect is was because the process was unexpectedly terminated while it was writing to the save file (it writes every 15min by default).
Luckily i have a job that backs up my saves regularly, so restored a save from a backup and all good.

[hard wave]

Does anyone know why the server I'm on won't let us transfer either directly or by uploading our characters but only allowing us to transfer items and dinos. We have all the 3 maps that are supposed to be clustered. We were able to transfer when scorched earth dropped but then it stopped working.

[jaunty vortex]

Getting very tired of having to wait hours before the updates posted in #patch-notes actually become available to anyone other than Public Nitrado

[native wave]

anyone had issues with not spawning at placed beds when transferring?

thought it was the location of my base, but I tried my first bed on the center, and it spawned me near blue ob as well

[vagrant ledge]

Anyone can figure out why my server wont start?

[native wave]

well ok, this time I replaced my simple bed with a bunk bed, but also formed my tribe, which I hadn't done yet. Spawned on my bunk bed as I should

[native wave]

most likely it's a mod issue ("Requested mods failed to load on server."), remove one at a time to see which one causes it to fail starting

[vagrant ledge]

Doing the same without any mods at all

[raven wigeon]

arkon isnt working anymore on asas

[river tinsel]

are you able to see the laser color of the supply crates on console ?

[undone plaza]

Any ps5 players fixed the issue with nitrado servers not correctly displaying ps controller shortcuts, showing either white boxes or xbox shortcuts
We even made the server ps5 only

[pure haven]

does anyone have a good guide of how to install and run plugins for ark ascended server?

[oblique rover]

Hello, I have a problem, every time I want to join or leave a tribe the server crashes. Did that happen to anyone else

[oblique pewter]

What’s the error? Do you have mods added?

If you have mods take the time to remove them one by one to see which one is causing the issue

[oblique rover]

No error occurs, the server just closes. Yes I have mods and plugins

[oblique pewter]

Take em out. This isn’t normal behavior from the server and either or is messing with something

[celest halo]

You mean anyone besides official, unofficial nitardo hasn’t been getting it till unofficial steam does

[spare raft]

Hellooow again ! I have any problem ... My Server (steamcmd) crash with this message in my Crashtalk :
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000002cdb6fa70 ...

Can you have any idea for this problem ? ...
Since this morning

[jaunty vortex]

Yes. Nitrado public (asalive) gets it and then the rest (nitradopc, public) seem to be forgotten for several hours

[oblique pewter]

What’s the rest of the code. We are missing the actual class function

[spare raft]

Fatal error!

This has been an unofficial thing for YEARS. They use official as their test dummy and then we get the patch after. It’s a blessing.

[celest halo]

If we ever get the minor patch, sometimes they just skip us

[oblique pewter]

There’s a tick issue and by the looks of things a character issue? How much ram you got on your server?

[spare raft]

43 use / 64 Go

40min ~ 43max range

Arg

[oblique pewter]

Ugh stupid bot. There is a Reddit post that talks about this. Ark is notoriously rough of people’s specs and this is one of those cases

[spare raft]

Specs ?

[oblique pewter]

If you wanna know the depth, look up “ark expectional access violation” and it should be the top Reddit

[oblique pewter]

Your CPU, VRAM and RAM

[spare raft]

Yes but .. yesterday have no problem 😕

[oblique pewter]

Have you added anything recently within the last 24 hours?

[spare raft]

Actually i have 3 player in my serveur .. Yesterday i get 12 players ...

[oblique pewter]

Mods, plugins?

[spare raft]

No ...

Reconfig my port just ...

[oblique pewter]

“This crash is caused by the Windows Timeout Detection
Recovery feature and is a result of Ark not chunking process requests properly. There is nothing you can do to fix it but you can get around it for now.”

[spare raft]

How ?

[vagrant ledge]

Yesterday we did some maintenance on our actual server and as of today non of our servers wants to start we get this crash

And its not mods cause 1 of the servers is new without any mods installed at all

[regal kernel]

i started my server with TheCenter_WP and the entire startup takes only 2 seconds this cant be right?

[oblique pewter]

Over clocking your CPU and GPU. Making sure your ram is using its full speed

[oblique pewter]

This is a mod issue, take out mods until you can finally start your server

[spare raft]

Process as : 16%
Memory : 66% ...

[oblique pewter]

Right I understand that but you gotta realize ASA is a HUNGRY game. One second it’s at 16%? 1 micro second it can just shoot up to 101% and crashes

Another thing people said that can help is running your server as an administrator. This makes it so the cache can run faster

[spare raft]

Hm okay

Thanks for ur time

[vagrant ledge]

getting the same thing on a non moded server

[oblique pewter]

As a player? Or your server?

[vagrant ledge]

the server

[oblique pewter]

Interesting, Reddit is the best friend let me try to research for you

[vagrant ledge]

aight tyty!

[oblique pewter]

It’s all talking about mods. And port-forwarding. Even with them deactivated it still causes the issue because of the memory of the mods in the files. And I bet all of this wasn’t a issue before CE release. it would make sense if outdated mods/files from mods being a problem :(

[vagrant ledge]

hmm not really sure what could cause it then, cause its the same thing even with a freshly installed The island server

[oblique pewter]

Is it cluster linked to the modded servers?

[vagrant ledge]

we have a cluster but I have tried without that too

[oblique pewter]

Is the cluster all being run on the same box? Because at that point I’m still learning towards the side that there is file that shouldn’t be in the directory

[vagrant ledge]

tes

[oblique pewter]

Might have you winner here, is there a way to verify your files for the servers? You using steamCMD?

[vagrant ledge]

yeah I have tried to verify a few times with no luck

[oblique pewter]

Damn I’m sorry mate I’m all out of juice then. It’s def something with mods. There’s a reason my cluster has been a modless cluster since SE ASE. It can only cause more problems

???

[vagrant ledge]

No worries you tried and Im gratful for that, but yeah guess I have a busy day trying to figure this one out 😄

[barren orchid]

Anyone's center server not booting up? Just restarted mine and it closes itself when loading the map, happens with the island map also but weirdly, not scorched.

[oblique pewter]

I’ve seen this as a trend recently with peoples clusters with mods. Do you have mods?

[barren orchid]

Yeah i do

[barren orchid]

i have 4 on there atm

[oblique pewter]

Yeah.. I’m starting to think mods play a bigger hand when updates on ASA than I wish to admit

You can try removing them and see if it helps but past peeps say it doesn’t or does

[barren orchid]

ok mate. will give it a try

[oblique pewter]

Other than that you’re waiting for the mod devs to update their mods to the new updated ASA. It’s like Minecraft mods being version 1.7.10 but playing on 1.12.2

[hard wave]

If it works let me know

[barren orchid]

Sadly, didn't work

[hard wave]

what did you do?

[barren orchid]

I removed all the mods on the island server and tried booting it. Same thing happened that it closed itself when loading the map

[hard wave]

trying clearing your cache files then waiting 5 minutes.

[barren orchid]

Do you know where i can find those?

no worries if not, i'll get on google

[trail elm]

Was that patch last night to fix the cryopoding other tribes tames also?

[hard wave]

Not on pc

[void juniper]

Is there anybody else having issues with their players having to create a new character when they have an existing one on the map? It seems to only be happening on the center for us

[oblique pewter]

Like they lost their toon type of thing?

They had to create a new toon but can still see the previous toon like laying on the bed?

[void juniper]

Yes, exactly this

Some however can log into their existing toon but are not in their tribe anymore

[oblique pewter]

It’s been a issue forever my cluster is at 40 tickets of people losing their toons

Only thing we can do is have preventatives. Turning off default items is a big contender
