[native wave]

have you tried doing it the same way?

some hosting software will establish a rcon connection which will allow you to send commands to the server, the same as if you had the console in game

[coral steeple]

yeah i tried, didnt seem to change but then again the regular commands (cheat doexit) also arent working

i think theres a ton of dead invisible dinos at 50 50

[native wave]

can you try without "cheat" at the start

so just
destroywilddinos

[distant hearth]

torpidity is related to fortitude iirc ,
weight is easy enough with game.ini code

[young stream]

Ahhh yesss ty so much lol 😂 I’m just blind I guess

[distant hearth]

theres so many settings its hard to see them all

[winged shard]

Hi, i am trying to help my 9 year old who loves ASE. When trying to find mods for ASE on Xbox series X - purchased and game pass versions - we cant make the controller go to the mods button. How do I enable and find mods for him? I cant seem to find much about it which makes me question if it is possible

[olive talon]

Ark survival evolved doesn't have mods.

[native wave]

also doesn't help when settings aren't marked as working for ASA when they do. I've been trying to correct them as I find them

[chrome kettle]

So what is the command switch to launch Summer Bash on ASA?

[silver dragon]

I am having the hardest time getting my unofficial server back up, I had an event that destroyed my vm that the server ran on and had to start from the beginning also the router port forwarding table was cleared

Not having a perfect memory I have followed the guidance a a few different sites that say basically the same things and though the server is running it never shows up

Could it be there is another port to forward besides 7777,7778,27015,27020

[winged shard]

Thanks for responding, I was thinking that might be the case. I kept searching because I saw that mod button on the menu screen on Xbox.

[olive talon]

You will need to download Ark Survival Ascended for mods, it is on gamepass

[spice tendon]

Does someone know how to figure out which .arkprofile file belongs to a specific player? It uses a long string of characters

[wanton matrix]

they make linux asa server package like for ase?

[keen garnet]

Guys every time im in like the favorites tap of all my servers , my game crashes anyone know how to fix? I have verified my files, completely reinstalled the game and it did not fix it so ye

[lunar cloud]

they have not yet. But ASA server runs very well on proton on Linux

[distant hearth]

nobody knows yet its not been released

[distant hearth]

asa only needs a udp port to be listed an joinable , set with -port=7777 , it must be forwarded through firewall and router

[distant hearth]

you can have the player do command whoami in single player, this will give the eos id for that player (long string characters)

[spice tendon]

Doesn’t work in Asa unfortunately

[distant hearth]

hmm it used to work , havent done it lately though

if its self host you can watch the server console window , have them join, then it shows in there aswell when they connect

if all else fails , maybe this mod can help them, havent tested it myself though
EOS ID Helper (CrossPlay)

[coral steeple]

ill try this next time

for now i got a friend to log on and do a wipe

the game kept me at 50 50 so i couldnt leave with all the lag

[unreal orchid]

is there a griffen trap i can use for asa

[chrome kettle]

whoami

[idle dragon]

Is it better to play on dedicated server insted of singelplayer? Is the world active even if im not near? I have -preventhebernation or what it is on.

[robust nymph]

Be good if they allowed us to write 36 in game so we could use it colour dinos if they're bringing it out for the event.

[lunar cloud]

The world is not active even on dedicated servers if its not rendered. unrendered areas stay "frozen" until a player enters and renders it in. Even breeding stops when you are not online. The main difference is that timers (spoil timers etc.) are recalculated and ongoing on dedicated servers, where on single player it all pauses when you log off.

[clear pebble]

You can use 036

[spice tendon]

wierd issue. i have custom cosmetics enabled and you can only see others if you have the same one installed.

[gilded copper]

is there a way to block a resource from spawning? like if there is an item in a mod that i do not want out there, can i turn off it's spawning somehow?

[grim hamlet]

did u ever find a solution for this? having the same issue where i can join and do whatever in scorched earth, but as soon as i log off and try and relog in, it creates a new character.

[pulsar orbit]

#bug-reports

[grim hamlet]

bug reports cover unofficial?

[wise kindle]

Yes

[velvet wave]

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but for a lvl 90 carcharodontosaurus with 10x taming effectiveness setting how many rex babies do I need to sacrefice?

[humble thicket]

anyone able to help with a code to stack pyromane poop?

[peak sapphire]

Try PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopMedium_OnFire_C

[humble thicket]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopMedium_OnFire_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

doesnt work 😦

[peak sapphire]

That was recently added to Beacon but I had already tried that before it was added and it didn’t work then either. I’ve tried a combination of words and not had any luck yet. Don’t waste your time using the admin gun on a dropped flame poop either as that doesn’t translate to the bp path.

[tired basalt]

"ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItem_WeaponCompass_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString=" PrimalItemResource_ElementShard_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False))) "

"ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Element_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItem_WeaponCompass_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False))) "

is this acceptable code?

[blissful wren]

how to configure the multipliers to tame a Dino and configure everything like that on a server

[peak sapphire]

@humble thicket Mutton was bugged for a while and wouldn’t stack regardless of having the correct config line. I’d imagine flaming poop is way down on the priority list for bugs to fix.

[humble thicket]

do you know what the resource settings should be for singleplayer to prevent the bug that stops resources from not spawning back in after logging out?

[fresh plume]

Hello there, i've been trying to setup a dedicated server with SteamCMD using NeddyTheNoodle's youtube tutorial(no port forwarding, no cluster, no mod), but I cant get it to work via Epic(Steam works just fine.), any suggestions?
After research it seemed to need the port forwarding for epic, but i dont own a router, and my gateway doesnt have port forwarding option. So i tried [ Command Prompt and Configuring Windows Firewall from a redfishiaven website, but still desnt seems to work. What do i do wrong?
added ports in windows cmd with: netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 ........
the ports 27015, 7777, 7777-7999 ; to and from my own ipv4 adress

[leaden sundial]

Hey does anyone know which area on here to rant about non ded servers?

[jaunty vortex]

Which game? ASE or ASA?

[fresh plume]

oops, ASE

[jaunty vortex]

7777-7778 need to be udp. 27015 needs to be TCP.

Not sure how you can do this if you cannot port forward.

[leaden sundial]

Hey does anyone know which area on here to rant about non ded servers?

[fresh plume]

does it mean from 7777 to 7778 or from 7777-7778 to 7777-7778?😅

[jaunty vortex]

7777 and 7778 need to be UDP.

On my router you can write a range like 7777-7779 when you are forwarding

And it will forward 7777, 7778 and 7779

[fresh plume]

oh, thanks ❤️ , i'll try again

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve not made an ASE server for about 2 years so I might have forgotten things

[peak sapphire]

For singleplayer/non-dedi’s your best bet is to ask in #bobs-with-probs even though this channel can be used for it, it’s better to go with the other one for a quicker response

[fiery jetty]

Hi, i need help for dino settings for SinglePlayer, i want to replicate official stats but i cant find the values for official, and in my current world i get dinos with idk, intead of 4100 in hp, its a random number now, i get 4099.9, same with food

[pulsar orbit]

In this case yes!

[olive talon]

You can rant in #general or #ark-survival-ascended. #bobs-with-probs and this channel are for help, not for ranting.

[spice tendon]

i have custom cosmetics enabled and you can only see others if you have the same one installed. Anyone know why this is?

[distant hearth]

they added some new stuff to dynamic download mods for players that dont have the mod a few patches ago, maybe related to that, sry cant help more havent messed with it yet

[spice tendon]

That’s what I thought but this was the case last night as well

[distant hearth]

something to do with gus.ini
docustomcosmeticvalditaion=true

then it needs a whitelist of some sort, wether your own or the official

[regal bobcat]

Hello, I just wanted to know if Windows people could now play on the servers through Xbox without any inconvenience.

[north valve]

custom cosmetics dont work on private server any ideas?

[full oak]

Is there a mod with round windows for asa?

[chilly coral]

Is there just no way to get a heat wave to happen on Scorched ASA ps5 as admin? Ive tried the codes I found on google but nada.

[jaunty vortex]

Not PvP because there is no battleye. You’re good for pve though.

[muted pebble]

I’ve gotten it to work on steam pc

‘AdminCheat CE heatwave’ reliably works for me

[muted pebble]

Can’t just be a round window, you’ll want a full structure mod.
Klingers rustic, and the air boat mod have more round shape.

[muted pebble]

They work on my private dedicated. Ensure completely up to date, and they seem to be streamed in at play time.
For example, power rangers mod took about 2 days but eventually everyone can see them now

They don’t seem to begin streaming until someone uses them tho. But once in, people who don’t have the mod can still use the suits while I’m not online

[muted pebble]

Can you edit your INI, or are you on console?

[north valve]

When I add the mod project ID to the serverstart.bat it fails to install mods

[distant hearth]

custom cosmetic mods are not ever needed to be added mod id ,

[muted pebble]

Yeah, someone just needs to install it on their own client side, and the server will stream those assets to connected players over time

[north valve]

curseforge, we use klingers rustic building structures, but not as a custom cosmetic, but yet we have the custom cosmetics available to use in game

I tried to add clear glass wall mod ID but it fails to install

[muted pebble]

Ok, so, it’s probably not a custom cosmetic mod, it’s a structure variant probably.

[north valve]

oh wait, you dont add custom cosmetics to the bat file ?

[distant hearth]

two types of mods in asa , so it can be confusing,
standard mods need be added in server start
custom cosmetic mods are differnt an dont get added to server start

[north valve]

ohhhhhhhhh

[muted pebble]

The naming is 100% tricky

[north valve]

so I just need to download the mod from curseforge and thats it?

[muted pebble]

Yes, if others want to see it faster, they can also download it on their own

[north valve]

Do I need to put the files anywhere specific?

[distant hearth]

yep if its specifically a custom cosmetic mod

server owner needs to do some whitelisting if its not a mod on the official whitelist...
its tricky lmao

[distant hearth]

download them in game, not from website

[north valve]

very confusing lol

[distant hearth]

yea

[north valve]

not sure why it cant just be added to the command line like every other mod

[distant hearth]

its a differnt system, works differnt

[muted pebble]

Custom Cosmetics work this way because they are optional, and are not specific to a server

[native wave]

I like the terms mods and cosmetic mods. The former have to be added to the server. The latter are added on the client/game.
If it just talks about skinning buildings or players, it's a cosmetic mod. If it involves engrams or objects spawned into the world, it's a regular mod the server must handle.

[north valve]

ah so you're adding custom cosmetics to your GAME rather than to the SERVER

makes sense

[distant hearth]

yea server just auto handles the cosmetic mods

well did, sort of, now has be setup a bit lmao as they made it more complex

[muted pebble]

FWIW, I’ve done no special configuration with regards to cosmetic mods available on curseforge. It took a few days, but eventually everyone does indeed see my power ranger Dino’s everywhere

[distant hearth]

nitrado or self host?

[muted pebble]

Self hosted on Proxmox/Docker

[native wave]

one that seems like a cosmetic mod, but still needs to be added to the server is the Dear Jane mod. It has cosmetic skins but you are awarded them by objects you find in the world. The server must spawn those objects in, so it must be added as a mod to the server.

[distant hearth]

interesting, thanks for the info, i suspect they made it default to allowing it now then 🙂

[north valve]

thanks for the help guys

[muted pebble]

IMO, It makes sense that the curseforge route should always “just work” and modders should need to make tweaks to run custom/local content.
Consoles gotta be first class citizens

[distant hearth]

ark servers if dont have a command line setting or ini setting just default to x thing, id bet they changed it now, so thats good news, alot easier

[native wave]

exactly, the skins should be visible unless the server owner takes steps to blacklist skins

cureforge has been having some issues with load recently, which is probably why some skins weren't appearing initially

[distant hearth]

yea i think they underestimated the ark load lolz , kinda lame for a big company

[native wave]

literally every person downloading a new cosmetic they hadn't downloaded yet as they run into people in game....sheesh that hit them hard

[distant hearth]

but they knew ahead of time, its just incompetence that they dint allow for it or just , cudnt afford to throw up extra servers for the initial hammering, or didnt care

[muted pebble]

There should be LOD based mod streaming /caching as well. Load it in at potato quality and cache that on the dedicated server. Not fair to just beat the crap out of curseforge

[native wave]

once they download it they'll see them from that point on....but that's a lot more mod downloads to handle

[muted pebble]

I see it as bloated numbers. I could make a mod now, and have me and my friends run around downloading gigabytes of garbage on official

Whole new way to abuse

[native wave]

probably acting like WC does with official servers....throw some up that you think will meet demand...add more to meet capacity.

[distant hearth]

has to go through there certs though , so not quite that simple

[muted pebble]

They will cert almost anything imo. Have never been denied unless the game literally crashed on load.

[distant hearth]

not for official though , they only whitelist certain ones

[muted pebble]

I see, that makes sense as protection 👏👍

Hopefully they thought about longer than the 3 mins I just did

[distant hearth]

otherwise there be a load xxx skins u can bet ya life lolz

[muted pebble]

I am more worried about 8k texture dumps crashing potatoes

I recall some choice VR chat emotes which would make it through moderators, and then crash servers

Usually with a boat load of physics based emitters

[distant hearth]

i doubt curseforge wud let it through cert an no chance wc let it on official , so theres a two way filter

[muted pebble]

I’m happy with my power rangers for now.

Nothing like Mighty Morphin Power rangers systematically contributing to deforestation and population control of simulation dinosaurs and foliage

[distant hearth]

presuming it passed curseforge though, can whitelist it to ure own server

[fiery jetty]

Im on pc

[idle dragon]

so when im taming the dinos lvl dont get much, i just tamed a 240 and it came out to 263. what setting do i need to change for it to be normal?

PC singelplayer

[weary jungle]

Hey any1 here can help me about some question for cluster self dedicatet hostet?

[bleak ivy]

ask the question so people know if they can help

[bleak ivy]

make sure its a food the creature likes, and don't hit it while its down.

[weary jungle]

my Problem is if i travel to SE everything is fine my char name is there and i can spawn normal but if i Travel back to Island my name changed to Player and if i relog my char got deletet and i have to make a new one

so ill check everything twice but they got the same settings idk what i make wrong here

[distant hearth]

check if you can transfer items to the island server from SE , if u cannot look for this setting in gus.ini and server start command
NoTributeDownloads=True
if set true will cause that problem, must be set false

[weary jungle]

i can travel with items

[distant hearth]

ok that rules that out

[weary jungle]

the only thing is he didnt download my survivor right

[distant hearth]

on island server , do you have a tribe set ?

[weary jungle]

yes

but not on SE

[distant hearth]

i always set one, but it shudnt matter coming back to a server with one... but ark be ark,
double check in ini that you dont have duplicate of this line and it must be set false ,
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

[weary jungle]

GUS right?

[distant hearth]

yes,

i know it sounds daft, but its easy to end up with a duplicate line,
i copy the ini txt to notepad then use ctrl f to search for duplicate

[weary jungle]

i didnt added that line atm

[distant hearth]

you said both server ini was the same?

[weary jungle]

but atm ill try something and it looks like if i dont have a tribe everything is fine

i can travel betwen the servers and my name didnt changed to "Player"

ah and i creat the char on SE not on Island

[distant hearth]

shud have theese 7 lines in server gus. ini for transfer setting control

PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False

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

all set false allows full transfers

[weary jungle]

okay i will add them and try it out

Thx i will update this situation 😄

[distant hearth]

yea , i never tested without the lines added so no idea what it wud default too

[weary jungle]

so but i dont add them after ServerSettings or?

[distant hearth]

under that header yea ,
gameusersetting.ini
[ServerSettings]

if they are not there, add them in an see.
if they are there and set true , change to false

[weary jungle]

okay thx

[leaden cedar]

I've got about fifteen mods on my servers, yet I have 3-4 mod updates every day on my servers. My players are constantly complaining about it. Is there a solution to prevent these updates?

[distant hearth]

less mods

early access game thats getting frequent updates , combined with third party mods = alot updates .
choose your mods wisely, do u really need all 15 , i doubt it

thinking on it though, thats seems alot updates , u sure thats what server is doing?

i.e most servers only update mods if restarted manually or on a schedulded restart

[weary jungle]

so il tryed to travel with the ini settings but it didnt change anything but ill tryed some other stuff it only didnt work with the tribe i have if i make a new clean one it works fine too but if i make a tribe with my friend and give us all structures back it wont work

[lunar cloud]

Folks , im using dyndns tech for most things to route traffic as I dont have a static IP address. I've noticed when Ark server starts, it registers its current public IP.
But when the public IP changes, it requires a server reboot for it to "re-register" its new public IP.
Have any of ya'll got a work around for this or a way to use DNS instead ?

[native wave]

I haven't needed to....we don't have a static ip, but we get assigned the same one always. I don't see of a way to use DNS to resolve that. The best I think you can do is detect the public IP change and initiate a reboot of the server when it detects it.

[lunar cloud]

There seems to be an undocumented option -ServerIP=<ipv4_address>
Option found in Nitrado server setup. Expected to work in a -MULTIHOME context. Undocumented by Wildcard.
I am going to try test and see if i can pass a dns value in here and see if it registers on battlemetrics with DNS instead of IP.

[native wave]

probably related to PublicIPForEpic from ASE. I think someone tried to use dns with that too but it didn't work. Maybe it will with ASA?

[native wave]

according to Battlemetrics, their servers are in SW Michigan....all my servers read only 7km away lol

[glass aspen]

does Bob's Tall Tales work on Nitrado servers if the owner doesn't have the DLC?

[grim hamlet]

i am literally having the same issue with SE right now. havent found a solution yet sadly

[native wave]

It is a client side mod. It does not need to be loaded on the server. The Oasisaurs will still spawn on Scorched Earth without anyone on the server owning the DLC.

[wise kindle]

Yes. You dont need to own it to add it to the mod page.

[fading thicket]

the MaxTamedDinos setting is that per tribe or across the server?

[lunar cloud]

The setting -ServerIP according to WIKI is marked known for ASA, and not ASE. Interestingly, did a local test using a DNS value here, and it does register and shows up in game which is all good... But when setting that, it does not show up in battlemetrics at all. I was keen to see if its registers on battlemetrics as a domain value instead of IP. That would have given me confidence that when players try connect, it should connect using DNS as advertised by the server. As its undocumented i'll assume that will not work and rather leave that setting alone lol 😄

It kind of makes sense for nitrado and official to just use IP, as its all distributed systems, there is little value using DNS, as they will need unique ports for all instances if they are using DNS

[lucid solstice]

How would one use that command. Generally speaking if it doesn't show up on battlemetrics it isn't connected to the game. Since battlemetrics pulls data from the game api

[lunar cloud]

I have no idea. thought I'd give that parameter a try and was hoping it would advertise the server over DNS instead of IP. But it does not show up on battlemetrics when setting it as a DNS

[lucid solstice]

Can you find it in game?

[lunar cloud]

yeah i can. I have not tried connecting to it as it did not give me confidence the server it advertising itself over DNS. Was hoping to see the server address details in battlemetrics as DNS values instead of IP

[native wave]

could be they just resolve it to an ip on battlemetrics when they display it

I'd be interested to know what the API returns when you query the server

[weary jungle]

same didnt find a solution yet but i try some more stuff later

[weary jungle]

so i found out it happens only if i spawn in my bed if i take a normal spawn point around the map everything is fine too

[pure haven]

Looks like your character being deleted cause you log out immediately after transfer before map you transferred to did an autosave (default autosame interval is 15min i think). Do manual autosave with cheat saveworld and then log out or wait at least 15 min after transfer. I keep telling that to people on my cluster as we also had bunch of cases when characters being deleted after transfers. As for your name become a Player its a know bug and its just a visual thing, not really affecting anything

[split forge]

I am looking for help with an Ark Ascended crossplay server hosted by a server company
How do i view which players are online by name/can normal players see this?
what mod would you recommend for stack sizes?

[weary jungle]

thx for that info i will test it later

[native wave]

cheat ListPlayers in the console, and you have to enable cheats to be able to see it

[split forge]

is there a non admin way - so players can see or nah?

[native wave]

not with ListPlayers. You'd need a mod to have something like that

[native wave]

you might want to look at ark nucleus....it has a player list though I'm not sure that is visible to non-admins

not really using that feature on my server since I'm the only one playing on it atm

[split forge]

ill have a look - a lot of my friends are on xbox etc so dont use the typey chat 😦

[native wave]

doesn't say it's crossplay unfortunately oh wait, yeah it does

[grim hamlet]

this works, though isnt the solution: DIE
but when transferring back to the island, u gotta DIE again

[pallid kestrel]

anyone's items duplicating when transferring?

[rugged moth]

DinoCountMultiplier=1.5

Can someone confirm for me please where this line needs to go? Which ini file?

[distant hearth]

gameusersetting.ini under the header
[serversettings]

info can be found here for future reference
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[pure haven]

does DinoCountMultiplier even work in ASA? i tried to set it to 2 on Center and it did literally nothing

still same amount of dinos across the map

[sleek parrot]

You may want to also do a destroywilddinos command to start a fresh respawn of everything. It can help.

[pure haven]

i always start my servers with -ForceRespawnDinos in command line so dino wipe is not really necessary. just gonna take lots of time to wait for all stuff to respawn

[sleek parrot]

That works too!

[pale sentinel]

Is it possible to make Raw Prime Meat stackable, and if so, does it cause issues?

[distant hearth]

yes is possible an no issues if dont go crazy , we have it stack to 100 no problems

[pale sentinel]

How do you do it?

[distant hearth]

game.ini code

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[clever trail]

Anyone know why only my island map keeps crashing with this error ASA

Crash in runnable thread Background Worker #15

[distant hearth]

does the server have any mods on it?

[clever trail]

Yes the same as Center and Scorched and they don't crash at all

[distant hearth]

doesnt mean much, backup save files, remove all mods, test server, if it doesnt crash, narrowed down the issue an add back one at a time till find issue

if it still crashes with no mods, remove save files aswell, test, if all good then u have a point to start at
if it still crash with no mods and no save files, remove ini files , test etc etc
its the only way i know how to fix them , i cant understand crash files unless they say something specific tbh

[civic tinsel]

Did they change they way difficulty offset and difficulty works i cant get dinos to spawn past 150

[distant hearth]

theres a setting in game.ini that needs to be false, iirc its
maxdifficulty=false

[solemn zephyr]

Yep, have set it to 0 to block all wilds with success on an event map.

[civic tinsel]

thx man

[scarlet geyser]

anyone wanna play some ark?

[languid forge]

In Ark Survival Ascended how do I force unofficial server to redownload mods?

Do I use? cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart

[distant hearth]

doing that will make the server redownload on the next restart, works fine on unofficial self hosted servers, not sure about nitrado though havent tested that

[languid forge]

Using SteamCMD and Batch Files

[distant hearth]

100% works

[warm plover]

Is anyone having issues with breeding not working and incubation timers on eggs not reducing?

[languid forge]

Thank you

[muted pebble]

custom settings?
They are really tricky to get right imo

[distant hearth]

beacon ark app/program makes breeding settings really easy , can adjust each one an see the effect on all dino, the free version will do this

[warm plover]

Yea custom. I have had them set for a while now. Not changed them and today breeding and hatching just stopped working all together. I'm assuming there is a live update about to be announced and someone Ctrl V'd in the wrong place 😂

[distant hearth]

check your ini files, see if they got reset, also if nitrado make sure hasnt selected the official rates option setting in general

[warm plover]

Thanks I didn't check the rates as I know I hadn't touched them. But they are all the same. I'll keep thinking how this got weird

[rain sluice]

With the addition dinos added like the Ceratosaurus, do we still need the mods downloaded on the maps, or are they fully part of the game and the mods not needed?

[distant hearth]

there part of base game, but a differnt variation to the mod, if u had the mod on before,i dont think its been transitioned yet to allow removing it.
check in garuga discord to be certain as im not certain but think u still need keep mod

[rain sluice]

Ok thank you

[hearty arch]

is there a option to change the reviel timer for the buried trashure cheast?
cuz it seems like it is a pay to win item cuz enemys will not be able to see or find it so i wanted to balance it by reducinge the reviel timer!

[long lagoon]

if players are wanting to purchase bob tall tales dlc do i need to add it to the dedicated server

[distant hearth]

no, dlc content is already in the game/on server

[long lagoon]

cool

players are telling me even tho they have the dlc the items do not show up in the engrams

I am running the server from steamcmd not steam launcher

[distant hearth]

doesnt matter, the server files are same, i suspect the players with issues are windows store/xbox app pc players, i believe there is still an issue with that platform and the dlc ..
i dont think that has been resolved yet

[long lagoon]

they are steam users on pc

[distant hearth]

odd, far as i know that shud just work

[long lagoon]

yeah they are telling me in single player it works but when connected to the server then a no go for them

[distant hearth]

sry then im not sure, hopefully some one else comes along that can help

[long lagoon]

yeah they going to un learn all engrams cause they aparantly used a crazy potion to learn them all so that might be the problem

[lunar cloud]

yeah it sounds like a mod issue
The bobs DLC does not require server owners to turn it on or configure it or anything, it should just be available and people who own it can use it.
I've had bugs where it thinks I dont own it from time to time even though i do, but then i just restart the game and it fixes it

[long lagoon]

Thank you all for responding

[grim hamlet]

anyone have an idea why when i travel to another server i have to die to get the character file to save to that map or i lose my character?

[cursive lily]

can someone help my friend setup his server please msg me it says we cant find his ip address for the server

[cursive lily]

@lunar cloud

@distant hearth

[cursive lily]

@sleek parrot

someone just help plz

[native wave]

sent dm

[native wave]

resolved....setting port forwards and putting the server in the DMZ was the cause of the problems

[low dew]

anyone get a massive memory leak on there dedi box when using scorched earth map

im talking up to 30gb of ram useage on that garbage map

[weak ice]

Hello guys, I hope you are doing fine.

I'll be starting a server with my friends (we are about 5 people), and I was wondering what host to choose? We are going to play normal ARK for now, no mods or anything fancy, just a private server for us.

Thank you in advance!

[low dew]

@weak ice you only have 2 options trashdrado or renting a server box with root access from gtx really

[haughty nexus]

Is it ok to have multiple mod creature packs downloaded

Like prehistoric beasts and discover world

[fervent tree]

Depends on the packs. Some work with each other, some don't. For some you find information on the mod page, for some you don't. If you don't find anything on their mod page and nothing on their discord your only chance is to try it yourself and see what happens

[main depot]

Is there a way to use a remote-exclusive join list? For admins you can use AdminListURL - also for banlists etc. you can use a list in the www ... but how do I do that with exclusivejoin? UseExclusiveListURL, ExclusiveListURL, PlayerExclusiveListURL don't work. Would be helpful for Nitrado as you wouldn't have to maintain the whitelist in their interface for every map. Maintain a list - done.

Or alternatively a mixed operation: whitelist or password? Why? If you have several maps with Nitrado, you have to maintain the EOS ID on all maps. If no admin is available, there is simply no whitelist entry. Too bad for the player. In a mixed mode, he could join with a password until he is on the join list.

[jaunty vortex]

Would definitely agree with mixed operation. Having to stop and start the server to update the list is a pain.

Having to maintain the same list across several servers is definitely a pain.

[native wave]

never had issues with it. mine hovers around 8GB of memory used. How many people do you have playing on it?

[low dew]

@native wave not enough to justify 30 GB of ram uaeage

[native wave]

Got any mods?

[boreal solstice]

Hello,
Today, I start my island server (last play on sunday) And it's day 1. All is gone... All tribe or structure.
Anybody had this issue. I made many backup so I try to restore some.
Thank for your help.

[sacred kestrel]

Any know what code I have to run to auto decay inactive bases. It currently will allow structures to be destroyed but I want structure to disappear cause of meshed structures that i can't find

[fervent tree]

Literally what you're doing already. Restore backups until it works. Try around restoring different things. I never had to go back a lot, it was always pretty obvious where the save broke by the size of the savegame. Didn't have it happen often but it did happen to me and it's pretty stressful until it works again 😅

[summer isle]

how can I solve NON-DEDICATED HOST TETHER DISTANCE so I haven't started it on my server anymore, because it annoys me?

[wise kindle]

Play on a server. Tether is non negotiable.

[summer isle]

Well, the problem is that I want to play alone with a friend and I would like to remove the setting that keeps teleporting him to me

[wise kindle]

You cannot remove tether unfortunately.

[summer isle]

But I wouldn't be able to teleport him to an extremely large distance in this way, I don't know, how would he have to be at the other end of the map and I be at the other end and then why should he teleport him?

[wise kindle]

You have to have tether on non dedicated. Its hard coded into the game. If you dont want tether you have to play on a server.

[summer isle]

Well, if I put it on an extremely high number, doesn't it work to teleport it from a greater distance? That I would not want to enter a specific server because I have mods and I would like to play with them.

[low dew]

@native wave yes it could be a mod issue but I run 3 servers only scorched is affected

[wise kindle]

I think you can try it tho that usually doesnt help. I assumed you did try this and thats why you want the tether gone.

The only way to do this is to play on a server.

BTW, there are a proximately 10,000 unofficial modded servers out there to choose from. I'm sure you can find one that suits you.

[summer isle]

Thank you very much for your help

[stark thorn]

Is there issue with boss dropping ele on center?

[lapis quest]

No

They spawn a drop for each boss once theyre dead, sometimes it takes a few mins to show up

[sullen hawk]

hello, how do i make my friend NOT Teleport to me when we are playing non dedicated ark?

[fervent tree]

You don't. The setting is still broken in ASA afaik. You have to play on a dedicated server for "independent" playing

[sullen hawk]

ok thx!

[hexed pine]

INI Question: I uploaded my old single player game to my dedicated server so others could join and I am curious if all of my personal settings from /Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings in the GameUserSettings.ini like audio and video are being pushed out to the other users.

[distant hearth]

far as i can tell they have no effect on the server at all, just sloppy wc code imho

[final gazelle]

How do I play on a server or host one

[wise kindle]

I feel like this needs to start in #bobs-with-probs

[final gazelle]

Okay thanks

[uneven flame]

does anyone know if there is a way in ASA to disable the death essences from dropping?

[lucid fulcrum]

Weird question but does anyone know how to summon Dino’s with admin commands now? The GMSummon command wasn’t working so idk what else to try

[astral lotus]

in ASA you can use also use SDF command its
'Admincheat SDF Dino_character_bp 0 150 1'
The 3 numbers define how the creature is spawned, the 1st one is 0=wild 1=tame, 2nd is the level and the third number has to do with loading into memory according the ark wiki, ideally have it set at 1. so if you wanted to spawn in a tamed level 420 dodo have it set up
'Admincheat SDF Dodo_character_bp 1 420 1'
hope that helps.

[lucid fulcrum]

Okayyy. That works. I forgot about that command as well. It’s been awhile.

Thank you so much☺️

[astral lotus]

You're welcome! Its one command I use a lot! Its like GFI but for dinos. 🙂

[lucid fulcrum]

Yeah I use GFI a lot but for some reason didn’t think of that command for Dino’s lol

[livid reef]

in windows firewall, if i have the specific port opened for the arkascendedserver.exe, i timeout on trying to connect from out of network. but if i set it to all ports, i can connect. the specific port i'm setting it to is the same port as what i have in my session settings in GUS as well as the same argument for -port=#### in my launch arguments. is that not the right port to be opening in windows firewall?

[knotty fiber]

🫸🫷 time out are you trying to connect your server port to a program on your PC ?

[livid reef]

i'm trying to open the port for the server in my firewall

[knotty fiber]

Oh

Sorry I can't help with that I just wanted to ask before I said anything that may throw you off.

[gilded copper]

I bought the Pyromane, but I cant spawn it in
cheat gmsummon "firelion_character_bp_c" 150
Is that the right code?

It tells me "not allowed to spawn on map"

[knotty fiber]

What map you spawning it on

[gilded copper]

center

I just bought the Fantastic Tames DLC, do i have to do something special to be able to tame them in my unofficial server?

[knotty fiber]

Sorry, I did research it look right from what I read.

[gilded copper]

maybe i need to restart my server....is it a mod i have to add?

[knotty fiber]

Nope not that I'm aware of.

[native wave]

No

[gilded copper]

Odd. I couldnt even forcetame the wild ones, it tells me i need to buy the dlc for it lol

i'll reboot my game, maybe that'll help

[knotty fiber]

👍

[gilded copper]

It's working now

[native wave]

Turn it off and turn it on again (essentially what restarting the game does) fixes a lot of issues 😁

[stiff swift]

@proven prawn @zealous aurora could we look into a fix for lava on center causing dash boarding when in that area and no being able to even log back on, I play on a series x with 5g Wi-Fi with Ethernet cable going from my router straight into the back of my Xbox and never had this issue before I’m built in a pearl cave on center and every time I go near big side it dashboards and can’t log back in until my friend with a high end pc come and kills my player, I request this with loads of respect and would mean the world to me if y’all could look into this, thank you very much

[fervent tree]

Are you opening it for udp or tcp? Default if not stated otherwise is usually tcp, but the game needs udp. I don't know any specifics for windows firewall so I can't help you further unfortunately, I just allowed the exe in general if I remember correctly

[lunar cloud]

On your server, check your public IP by Googling it.
Then you can look into tools like netstat and nmap , it will allow you to scan your server public IP to see if the port is reachable. Something like nmap -p U:<port> <public-ip>
If its not open, something is blocking it. Generally your router needs to forward the Ark UDP port to the server. So 1) Router, then once it gets to server, 2) you need to make sure UDP port is open on windows firewall. Run the command till you can see its open and you are done

[toxic hazel]

The Bash gonna be a mod or startup command to add, do we know?

[lapis quest]

No info yet, i guess it will be a command

[toxic hazel]

Thought being so close they might have said but couldn't see 😂

[lapis quest]

Unless there's a minigame or something extra to do, i dont see it beign a mod because there are just some new skins.
I just wanted to know if there are chibis :/

[toxic hazel]

My mate got a chibi titanosaur, am jealous haha 😄

[tacit linden]

Hi, how can I stop cryo dinos from being transferred between maps? (Using Pelayoris mod)

[uneven flame]

Is there a way to disable or limit the death essence

[cyan trail]

On Nitrado, whenever I delete/remove the Club Ark mod (which we’ve never even used since we don’t have an extra server to host it on), it resets my server back to day 1.
This a common issue?

[wise kindle]

Not at this time.

[wise kindle]

This will happen whenever you add or remove a map mod, yes.

[cyan trail]

So I just gotta leave it there forever even if unused?

Thanks for your response btw.

[wise kindle]

Your decision mate. Use the mod or not, freedom of choice.

[cyan trail]

My understanding is that I cannot use it unless I set up a second server. So I was just trying to clear up space by dropping it.

[high forge]

Yes it uses it's own server as it's a modded map, but you don't require to add it to other servers in the cluster.

[wise kindle]

Its a full conversion map mod. So a dedicated server would be needed, just like Svartalfheim, Forglar or Amissa.

[cyan trail]

This was my mistake I think. I never should have added it to my Center server.

[high forge]

If you added it to a already ran server I think you could just remove the mod and change the map back to what it was originally and your save should load.

[cyan trail]

When I remove it, it sets my server back to day 1 on The Center. Oh well, lesson learned I suppose.

[high forge]

You could restore a backup

[cyan trail]

That’s what I’ve been doing. But that brings back the Club Ark mood too.

*mod

[high forge]

Could try restoring an earlier backup, remove the mod if still there and change the map back to the centre. Sorry I don't use nitrado to know exactly how it is. Just don't start the server, I'm sure your center world saves should still be there.

[cyan trail]

Thing is, I started this server for The Center right around when Club Ark mod came out so I stupidly added it on day 1 without fully understanding how it would work. There isn't an earlier backup without it lol.
But thank you for your help!

[warm knot]

how to enable summer bash on my private server?

[high forge]

It's not out yet ;p

[warm knot]

ufff

[junior gull]

I'm looking to set a few artifacts on thr map in a custom spot is there anyway to always make them respawn there and how do I go about setting them in that spot

[distant hearth]

nothing ini wis i know can do that , wud have to be mod

[silver kayak]

Hi, is there a way to up the tame limite on a private server ???

[lapis quest]

MaxTamedDinos=8000
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=150.000000

Gui.ini

[distant hearth]

yes , its done with this line in gus.ini
maxpersonaltameddinos=500
find the line an change it to 1000 to double it

i forgot the global one but usually thats not an issue

[lapis quest]

It is on our server lol, should not be a problem

[silver kayak]

Nice thank you very much guys 🤟

[distant hearth]

lolz , got a lot breeders then 🙂

[lapis quest]

Yeah, everyone and their alt accounts

[distant hearth]

lmao

[north parcel]

Hello everyone sorry for my english and if the question got answered thousand times. But how can i activate old Events on a unofficial hosted g portal server at ARK SE? Pls dont tell me that there is no way.

[distant hearth]

its been a while since i used a gportal server but i think in there general settings is an option set to events

[lapis quest]

Events wont work on ase anymore, we still activate them on the same dates as asa because colours still work

[north parcel]

But it doesnt work. No summer event active. But i activated it in the settings. No special colours and no event items.

[lapis quest]

In that case, if you want just colours, you must activate them using a plugin or mod. Im aware that few event commands wont activate even colours

If i am not mistaken, summer bash is one of them, i was even preparing the list to use on our ase servers:
4, 11, 100, 94, 93, 59, 83, 88, 85, 74, 76, 10, 67, 12, 19, 36, 18, 79, 1, 2

[distant hearth]

gportal support is usually pretty good, try contacting them, last time i had an ase server with them the events worked, but ase was still being supported then

[lapis quest]

Since oficials servers shut down, event commands are only working for colours, even some of them wont work at all

Theres nothing we can do without wildcard files

[distant hearth]

i knew the events themselves dint wotk , thought colours did 😦 , can custom code the ini to spawn dino with colours but i expect its a pain in the backside ..

[lapis quest]

We do custom colours most of the time, using them on gen1/2 might cause crashes tho

Atleast the people that still plays evolved enjoy colours

[distant hearth]

i dont play ase anymore or look after any servers so a bit out of touch tbh

[fast path]

is there a way to see who made a player note as an admin???? I'm running a shop on a private server

[wise kindle]

Player note?

[long lagoon]

is there a way to chat across the asa servers

[native wave]

that definitely sounds like a feature of the mod that give you the shop...or some other admin mod or plugin

[native wave]

plugins in the server api would be a way. can't do them on my servers though

[lucid solstice]

Definitely would have to be a plugin

[knotty fiber]

Does anyone know if mutation potions mod only helps it give stats mutation, color mutation or something else?

Nvm figured it out

[sharp oriole]

Hi alll

So do you guys recommend to disable automatic restarts in nitrado so my Xbox and Microsoft players can keep joining until they fix the cert ?

[grave shale]

my friends have a nitrado server and even when automatic restarts are disabled it still turns off the server whenever theres an update

🤷‍♀️

[merry thorn]

well, then your updated steam and ps players won't be able to join 🙂

pick the lesser of two evils i suppose

[tepid berry]

Someone mind posting here when the update comes through? (Unofficial ASA server)

[native wave]

not yet

[high forge]

mod id 927091

[native wave]

ok, maybe we don't want the patch....seems a problem with tek turrets

[maiden flower]

all unoffical servers are now gone what got broken

[native wave]

unofficials haven't updated yet as they haven't dropped the server patch for them yet

and they probably aren't going to drop it with the problem with tek turrets people are reporting

[sage surge]

Just another day in paradise.

[tepid berry]

The patch is already released. The 1hr delay is usually steam waiting until the files are at all of their CDN endpoints

[native wave]

not the public branch for servers

[tepid berry]

That's why some people can patch their servers before others, etc

[native wave]

or nitradopc

public 6 days ago
nitradopc 6 days ago

client update is out but you can't join a server running a different major version

[sage surge]

I'm just chillin enjoying #general

[native wave]

I'm chilling playing the game...haven't let my client update yet

[sage surge]

I don't really play these days, I'm just a humble community manager.

[bleak ivy]

steam updated my ark but I haven't played in like 2 weeks anyway

[uncut osprey]

I hadn't played in like two months or so, went in the other day and my game was running so choppy. I almost thought I was playing ASE on my old PC lolz.

[native wave]

I just been playing on my own servers...no one else on them. enjoying mods. recently started a Xmas in July event for myself 😆

[bleak ivy]

my SP was playing so bad but my server wasn't having any issues. turns out there were tons of baby frogs under my house.

[uncut osprey]

Loool

[bleak ivy]

always check if your dinos are breeding 😂

[native wave]

this is why I use dino depot

pelayori's is good too last I tried it

[bleak ivy]

Its an old save from like 6 months ago, I put it there for testing stuff (so I didn't need to spawn in dinos to test with).

[native wave]

ah

I really want to try their quetzal fix

[bleak ivy]

it just so happened in the backup my frogs were breeding...

[uncut osprey]

whoooops

[sage surge]

My servers use SCS.

[stiff nest]

So can someone tell me why other users on my server from Nitrado, can find and join them. But I am not able to find it

[native wave]

Clients that have updated will not be able to join unofficial servers as they have not been updated yet

they have not pushed the patch to the public or nitradopc branch for unofficial servers

[stiff nest]

Awwww thanks!

[round spire]

Ok Ty

[sweet delta]

Club ARK mod hasn't even updated yet unlike what the patch notes state. So unsure of what the go is there too.

Everything is whacky. Feels like this was all rushed last second on WC's part. We're scattered.

[native wave]

day before holiday in the US....yeah it was probably rushed

[wooden tartan]

I just need this patch to be pushed so I can get the o servers back online and go to bed lol.

[silent violet]

literally the worst part about these updates, near midnight release time

[tepid berry]

@wooden tartan I feel that

[wooden tartan]

@tepid berry Sup. Looks like it has most folks up lol.

[grim hamlet]

as its only 2pm for me, this isnt that bad

[tepid berry]

Yeah. Just waiting for someone to excitedly post "its updating!"

[wooden tartan]

Almost 23:00 here.

[native wave]

just about midnight here

[tepid berry]

Luckily my servers have been pretty dead since the abb delay announcement. So I don't have many banging down my door to get into the servers again.

[silent violet]

4 minutes to midnight :/

[broken halo]

Lucky lol besides I'm getting twitch I neeedss my fix 😆

[wooden tartan]

I have yet to get a pm. But my folks know what the deal is by now.

[broken halo]

Truth

I got about 7 or so but they all know by now

[native wave]

I just play on my own servers by myself...have them up for friends but they haven't gotten ASA yet

I decided to hop into my steam client before the patch...good thing I did

[broken halo]

Has anyone been watching steam to see

[wooden tartan]

I have. Not yet. 😦

[native wave]

they haven't announced the patch for officials yet, and they are definitely going to delay any public or nitradopc patch with the troubles this one has had

not really bothering to check until it goes live for official

[broken halo]

Yeah sounds legit

Kinda been bouncing back and forth between official and un just to see if anything loads up

[rugged marten]

Anyone got any idea how long unofficial is gonna take tonight?

[wooden tartan]

No clue. Most of the time its no longer than an hour. But officals are not even up atm so who knows.

[broken halo]

Sorry left the magic 8 ball at the other house

[native wave]

I'd add at least an hour to whenever they deploy it for official

dollie
"small progress update: a candidate server/client should be ready shortly, QA will then need to verify, if that passes we can proceed and we'll post in ⁠announcements"

[wooden tartan]

Might just wait till the morning.

[broken halo]

Well who wants to start a non dedicated we can all join 🤔 😆

A room full of server hosts what could go wrong

[wooden tartan]

Well looks like the servers will stay offline for the night for me lol. Time for this fella to call it a night.

[late matrix]

Yup they did a bad one

`Fatal error!

[vale fiber]

Why release client files first all the time?

[ionic field]

Frosted Flakes ! Serialize()

perfect time to do those OFF-SITE / USB DRIVE server backups huh 😉

[late matrix]

Some of our player could not get in after the patch so I went and updated ours and poof.... ark doing ark things 😫 It was expected TBH

we do 4 world saves an hour so a roll back would not be too bad for us

[native wave]

they release official server and client at the same time and delay the public and nitradopc branches for unofficial just in case of bad patches like tonight's

[ionic field]

hopefully they "hawk tua" and get that QA passed "Spit on that thang" push out the new patch fix soon, was all pumped for the first ASA Taffy Swirl :SummerBash 24 , like the rest of y'all "ya get me" - LOL -

[vale fiber]

Gotta be a better system than this

[tepid berry]

You think they'd be writing regression tests by now given how often they break systems.

[finite isle]

Keep getting no sessions found

[tepid berry]

That's because there are no sessions!

All servers are down right now because Wildcard f***ed up the rollout.

[finite isle]

oh ok thank you 🙂

[grave shale]

hey, ever since adding the new summer bash mod my (own) server client just crashes 🤷‍♀️

either it’s that or the new patch just wondering if anyone is having this problem

[craggy prism]

all

[grave shale]

nice

[native wave]

they haven't pushed the patch that came with the release of summer bash yet

[grave shale]

ah so the mod just doesn’t really exist yet .. ?

[native wave]

mod exists, but it may be incompatible with the previous patch

[grave shale]

i see, thanks :) i’ll just try it tomorrow

[native wave]

yeah it should probably be updated by then

they just pushed the official patch to the asalive branch

public and nitradopc have not been updated

[modern ice]

Somehow, after leaving official due to the oversized amount of issues it has it seems they found a way to attack our happy place even when we came together as a group and subscribed to our own servers

[craggy prism]

just got a client update 100meg more than the previous update, but looked like it was verifying lol

[spare brook]

another depot update 5 mins ago
cross your fingers

[modern ice]

Me and the cult was just trying to do some good ol American summer bash'n

[placid pine]

hey guys, i was wondering how i'm able to apply the summer bash updates on my unofficial nitrado servers. i have one on the center and another for ark club ty!

[modern ice]

Use the curseforge mod

[native wave]

don't until the server patch drops that came with the mod

public and nitradopc have not been updated yet

[placid pine]

ohh okay thanks

is there an easy way to check the status on the nitrado end?

[native wave]

look for the steamdb links in the pinned comments

[hard rapids]

lmao not again

[chrome cypress]

my server is showing version 47.22 no updates available thru steamCMD what version are you guys on?

[spare brook]

still crashlooping on start even after newest depot update 😐

[tepid berry]

@chrome cypress it takes about an hour after they push to be able to get the update

This is normal....be patient.

[hard rapids]

xd...

[native wave]

that varies quite a bit...sometimes minutes, sometimes hours

[hard rapids]

taken days before

[native wave]

indeed

[glass elbow]

Push the update for unofficial servers!! @proven prawn @zealous aurora @stark warren

[dawn geode]

Case #46371 @glass elbow has been muted for 2 hours.
Reason: Mass Tagging

[modern ice]

We could all go troll an official server while we wait

[steady kettle]

Any word ?

[native wave]

nothing yet

[craggy prism]

day off 😢

[tranquil bluff]

yeah me to and no ASA

[native wave]

I don't get any days off

caregiver....

[modern ice]

Dang official is so bitter haha

Trolling is easy

[tranquil bluff]

Cant they make a direct ip link in the game were we can copy our IP in to it?

[modern ice]

Looks like other tek stuff on official is broke now, so probably go back down

[sharp vessel]

Hello ! Anyone else has problem with the mod Summer Bash ? The mod keeps crashing my servers when the mod is put on them.

[native wave]

don't load it on the older server version

[modern ice]

Yes, literally everyone

They done us all dirty

[ionic pier]

I think I'd prefer the game to never be updated again except for map releases

[sharp vessel]

Gotcha, I was not sure it it was the server version, we need to wait the next deployment GREAT

[modern ice]

Pulled the whole plug

[native wave]

public and nitradopc have not been updated yet

[sharp vessel]

I was happy to see spawns in the underworld of The Center but now... I'm not this happy anymore lmao

Because of this bad gift we got 😭

[modern ice]

Good news is, we can be gods and bless our worlds with increased rates and anything their hearts desire

[native wave]

yeah, looks like good patch notes...I would take the current patch with the tek suit issues since I don't have tek unlocked yet on my servers and I'm the only one playing

[modern ice]

We got some tek but not enough to care if it's broke, long as gens work haha

We're old school

[native wave]

underworld spawns....quetzals fixed...dear jane being integrated

[ionic pier]

we host Omega so if we increase mating interval rate the bosses get hella strong lol, XP wouldn't hurt tho

[plush jetty]

Looks like tek suits are broken and people losing items like 15k poly….

[idle copper]

Are all the unnoficial servers down?

[tawny idol]

Yes we’re stilll awaiting an update…

[toxic hazel]

Is that why I can't start my servers xD fair nuff

[plush jetty]

It’s a broken update yet again…

So hold your breath lol

[idle copper]

Woo hoo

[tawny idol]

Live without your TEK suits you’ll be fine for a couple of days geeez

[sweet delta]

Someone give us the build password for asalive dammit. Promise we won’t abuse it wildcard

[modern ice]

Yeah. Just let us touch it

[plush jetty]

Wdym? The servers went live earlier but tek guns were bugged, so they took servers offline for 4 hrs only to release another broken patch.

[modern ice]

We have been good server admins

[sweet delta]

I want to touch.

[toxic hazel]

I only just powered mine down to add summer bash, silly WC

[plush jetty]

I can live without my tek suit, they’re gonna bring down the servers again to fix it

[tawny idol]

The new patch broke Tek suit jump ability - sure they can live without that for a day. Just release it as is.

[toxic hazel]

My servers have updates available that jus came through o.O

[tawny idol]

Really?

[toxic hazel]

Apparently, ya, says update available on my manager whereas like a minute ago they did not

[native wave]

both public and nitradopc have been updated...

nitradopc may have a delay because nitrado does their own thing with their own branch

[toxic hazel]

My servers are now starrting after the update as well 😮

[sweet delta]

Public branch is updated

[native wave]

gotta remove my attempts at fixing quetz first before I restart

[jaunty vortex]

Presumably we don’t need any command line switches?

[tepid berry]

Yep, I started updating my servers now.

[modern ice]

It has been a pleasure serving with you all

[native wave]

summer bash is a mod, so no command line switches

[tepid berry]

927091

[jaunty vortex]

So event colours are in the mod?

[modern ice]

Yes

Event is the mod is the event is the

[chrome cypress]

steamCMD update live!!!!

[native wave]

yay quetzals

[compact goblet]

how to setup a club ark server?

ClubArk_WP?

[native wave]

BobsMissions_WP

add the club ark mod as well, and only that mod

you cannot transfer a character to it...but you can transfer stuff off of it to another server in a cluster

[compact goblet]

thx

[pure haven]

hm i added summer bash to my servers but i dont see any holiday tab in cooking pot. does it not working properly or its not same as ASE?

[native wave]

check smithy

[pure haven]

ah yeah its there 😃

[native wave]

also....yay underworld spawns

[compact goblet]

no summer bash mod for club ark?

[native wave]

It got it's own makeover for the summer....though not entirely sure. It's not a normal map

I would say don't apply it to club ark

[compact goblet]

kk

[lost gust]

Nitrado updates taking some time for everyone else?

could it be summer bash mod being bad stopping the boot?

[idle copper]

Yea mines taking ages to update

[dull apex]

Criminy, the latest patch has further bloated the RAM cost of my running servers by a full gigabyte, and I'm not even running Summer Bash.

[lost gust]

ouch - my island map will be at 25GB then :/

[dull apex]

I think it might be the forced Dear Jane integration that literally nobody asked for.

[lost gust]

yay - fun - more bloat - my biggest painpoint is the Ping issues with nitrado ngl

Australian server - If an US or EU player joins - EVERYONE gets pushed to their ping - so we have 280-330 ping constantly :/

[dull apex]

Ouch

[lost gust]

and you cant region lock soooo GG

[dull apex]

Would be nice to be able to do that

The headache I get is when people use Chinese characters in their names and they just show up as blanks.

[lost gust]

and only other server host ( apex hosting ) is 3x the cost so sadly just not justifable -
I tend to rename those people - not gonna deal with nonames

[dull apex]

I'm not using Nitrado or Apex, there are some smaller hosts out there. The price you pay is that people have to check "player servers" and therefore you're harder to find.

[lost gust]

you have to check "player Servers" anyway with nitrado so wth
But does your host have region locking as an option or max ping allowable?

[dull apex]

No region locking but I'm in the US and have never had issues with Australian players joining.

[lost gust]

yea - sadly we are the most populated PVE aussie server so we tend to get anyone new + some international people which just ruin the ping

[compact goblet]

got club ark running on self hosted but says download is dissabled. how to fix that edit: FIXED

[hexed pine]

Is there anyway to opt out of official server events? My ini files show no event ids or mentions yet I have technicolor dinos and summer recipies on the cooker. Thanks.

[compact grove]

Managed to fix servers showing in unnoficail list by
Right click ark/properties/betas/public test realm.

But my clusters club ark is now not showing, is everyone having this problem?
Any fixes?

@compact goblet how you get club ark to work, mines disappears from server list but rest of maps on cluster are there

[compact goblet]

what does your start.bat look like

make sure its updated too

[compact grove]

I'd love to answer that but have no clue what my start.bat is haha

[compact grove]

Anyone?

[hot glacier]

same

[jaunty vortex]

Don’t add the mod?

[compact grove]

If you find an answer please let me know @hot glacier ,
Kupo said something about start.bat but I'm to stupid to know what that is haha

[hot glacier]

I usually understand a lot about server configurations and I don't know what it is either XD

[undone wind]

start.bat is the commandline

[compact grove]

@undone wind and what must I do to it?

[undone wind]

you want the map set to be BobsMissions_WP and the -mods= to have just the club ark mod id 1005639

[lofty flicker]

start.\ArkAscendedServer.exe BobsMissions_WP?SessionName=1GamersbegaminClub?ServerPassword=(yourpassword)?Port=7781?QueryPort=27017?MaxPlayers=20?ServerAdminPassword=(yourpassword) -NoBattlEye -serverPlatform=PC+XSX -clusterid -noTransferFormFiltering -servergamelogincludetribelogs -WinLiveMaxPlayers=20 -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -Mods=1005639

thats how my club ark one is. and it works pertecetly

[hot glacier]

Does anyone else find that their server keeps restart constantly?

all the other servers on my cluster are gone now (assuming needing a restart for update) but club ark is up

[hot glacier]

Mine are fine now, but the island never finishes starting 😦

[jaunty vortex]

You don’t need query port, that’s ASE only. It’s crossplay by default, so unless you’re excluding PS5 players, you can take that out. You can change port so it’s -port=7781 instead of ?port

[lofty flicker]

Dont have ps5 players on mine, so left it off. It added the ? Marks on its own after i ran it once. Works tho, so im not gonna mess with it.

[clever trail]

mine also closes before starting

[hoary panther]

🌞 Anyone know where to find the Summer Bash Event Skin spawn codes? TIA ❤️

[stuck orchid]

How do we add the summer bash event 🤔 the other events were a mod but there is no summer bash mod or atleast we cant seem to find it lol

[jaunty vortex]

Yes there is. In the patch notes.

Server 48.8/Steam client 48.7/PS5 48.4 - 07/03/2024

Summer Bash Event is live! v9

• Mod ID: 927091**
  --Unofficial server owners can apply this to their servers by adding "-Mods=927091" into their commandline
  --More info can be found here: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-416-summer-bash-roadmap-update-and-more-r2333/

[rancid marsh]

Hello - how do i enable the summer event on nitrado ?

[wooden tartan]

Its a mod so you will need to install the mod on your server.

[junior phoenix]

Anyone else having issues starting their server with the new mod? Mine seems to crash every time, I have been removing mods and the same issue happens every time.

[river hornet]

hello can someone tell me a good server thats not modded and no huge boosts and the island, because every server i joined was shut down

[wooden tartan]

Have you updated your server to 48.12?

[rancid marsh]

Thank you kindly 🙂

[wooden tartan]

Np at all.

[wooden tartan]

Is it a Center server by chance?

one of my three servers crashed when starting it up. But it seems to be fine now. Hmmm.

[junior phoenix]

Island, I am re-running the steamcmd update validation to make sure it's updated.

[wooden tartan]

For sure.

[native wave]

have summer bash and winter wonderland running on my servers...they don't seem to conflict

[wooden tartan]

To hot for winter lol.

[native wave]

xmas in july!

[wooden tartan]

True lol.

[native wave]

just amused it works

[wooden tartan]

Well the o servers are back online and doing ok for now. Good times. @native wave did you stay up last night and wait for the patch?

[native wave]

yeah but only because the previous night I was up until 4am waiting for my father to get his final bed for the night in the hospital

(he's home now...just a brief stay)

[wooden tartan]

That's good news.

[native wave]

so now I'm pulling an all nighter to reset my sleep schedule

[junior phoenix]

That was it, I updated the server this morning and thought it took, apparently it didn't so when I ran the update again it's up and happy. It's the simple things LOL

[wooden tartan]

I only know because I tryed to add the mod and start one of my servers before the patch got pushed and it crashed on me lol.

[lapis quest]

Anyones else server got all their dinos out wiped post patch?

We just started the event 20 mins ago, every base got their dinos deleted

[wooden tartan]

Not that I know of. Man that would not be good.

Do you host it or is it Nitrado?

[analog oracle]

Yea thats happening

theres even video proof if you want i can dm you

[wooden tartan]

Send it to me as well if you would @analog oracle

[lapis quest]

Self host on a datacenter, looks like a LOT of servers are having this

[late obsidian]

Please can someone help me how do I get summerbash working on my servers

[wooden tartan]

It's a Mod @late obsidian You will need to install it. Do you host with Nitrado or self hosting?

[late obsidian]

Nitrado

[wooden tartan]

Man that's no good. I wonder if its a mod that's doing it or if it's for sure the patch.

[late obsidian]

Do I need to turn off any colour events already on

[wooden tartan]

You will need to go to the mod sections of your server and install it there I do think.

Its not the same as adding colors. That was just a check box for you guys I think. This you will need to install in the mod sections of your server.

[late obsidian]

Ok will look again, once added where do people get the event stuff?

[wooden tartan]

That I don't know. I don't play the game just run a server lol.

[bleak ivy]

the smithy crafted with different jerky. there is the shark costume in club ark tho.

[late obsidian]

Ok thank you

[wooden tartan]

When you are looking at your server dashboard look over to the left and find CurseForge Mods. Click that.

[late obsidian]

Very helpful thank you I have added just needed the stupid man's guide thank all for your help

[wooden tartan]

Np at all.

[viscid path]

Soo I've had my server a few months now nothing has changed but arks normal updates now my server is broken and crashes immediately and no one can play any ideas on what I can do here thanx in advance

[granite gale]

It's been a while since I've played so it could've been fixed but is the tethering fixed for non-dedicated?

[manic iron]

Did a dino wipe as I’m trying to reduce the number of spawns of a mod dinos (Draconic Chronicles) via ini commands and the beaver spawns after the wipe is very low with only 3 on the entire map. Is this normal? Will they eventually spawn more?

[waxen robin]

Why did half the dinosaurs on my cluster disappear after latest update?

[cosmic panther]

Did they ever get the server patch released and working?

[waxen robin]

Remove the mod they just added to the game

[viscid path]

What mod was that sorry I didn't notice it

[waxen robin]

Read their announcement

[viscid path]

OK thanks

[waxen robin]

Dear Jane I think it was. When I removed it from the mod list, the server stopped crashing

[analog oracle]

can you answer dms?

[jaunty vortex]

That’s in the game now. You’d have been trying to add the same notes twice.

[pseudo glade]

is the summer bash event out?

[dawn coral]

Anyone know the spawn code for the shark skin

[wooden tartan]

It is out.

[pseudo glade]

what do i have to do to enable it on my servers

[wooden tartan]

Add the Summer mod.

[pseudo glade]

ahh its a mod

[wooden tartan]

Indeed.

[jaunty vortex]

Does nobody read #announcements and #patch-notes ? 🤷‍♂️

[wooden tartan]

Some times lol.

[pseudo glade]

its not posted very clearly

[late estuary]

Just double checking - if I run a Nitrado server and play on Xbox and want to check out Club Ark for my server, I'd have to rent another server just for Club Ark? I can't just add the mod??

[distant hearth]

correct, it works like a mod map

[late estuary]

That's rough. Thanks man

So we'd have to do it like when we switch between Island and SE

Do you have to upload your character to get into Club Ark?

[distant hearth]

you can always just join any old one or official one if you want to check it out

[distant hearth]

no, its like a sepeerate charcter you create when joining the club

[late estuary]

Oh interesting

[distant hearth]

its fun for a bit, worth checking out i guess. the rewards you get arent nothing special, so u dont miss out much not have it as a map clustered in

[tired basalt]

When I start an OSD, the shield goes up, then goes down, and then it just goes thru the 5 waves with nothing spawning, and then it lets u get the rewards. Is there a fix?

[ionic pier]

once Aberration comes out by club server is probably going to switch. Only thing from club that's cool is the chibis

[rugged marten]

Hey guys im trying to join my friends unofficial and half the time it doesn't show up and the other half I try to join and it says "connection timeout" any tips?

[placid pine]

quick question. are the summer bash event colors automatically applied when i install the mod for my server or do i have to change something in nitrado server settings for that? tyy!

[idle sluice]

our dinos on our cluster disappear too, any ideas?

[wise kindle]

is it a non dedicated map?

[wise kindle]

yes but be sure to do a wild dino wipe or it will take ages to see the color change

[nimble apex]

Hey im trying to set up a unofficial server but the console keeps saying ticking loop. Can anyone help me fix it?

[placid pine]

okay thank you ill try that out!

[distant hearth]

its supposed to say ticking loop once its running

[nimble apex]

ahh its still not showing up after port forwarding

[distant hearth]

search the server name on battlemetrics website, see what port its running on

[nimble apex]

Okay i found it, but im not able to join the server. It says, invalid password

but i dont have any password set

[distant hearth]

you must of set one somehow, check the commandline (start.bat file) and the ini

[nimble apex]

Commandline: TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=RatsUnited?ServerAdminPassword=2255?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20

[distant hearth]

TheIsland_WP?SessionName=RatsUnited?ServerAdminPassword=2255 -Port=7777 -winliveMaxPlayers=20

is the correct way for asa but you will have to check the ini for a server password

[nimble apex]

how do I check that?

the ini i mean

[warped glacier]

have they firgured out custom drops yet?

[nimble apex]

did you mean gameusersettings.ini?

because I just added a server password and its reflecting that in the ini, but still keeps telling me invalid password

Wait actually it just worked, thanks

Now can someone tell me how to make the server PC only?

[distant hearth]

pc only as in steam only ? or windows store only ?

[nimble apex]

steam only

[distant hearth]

-ServerPlatforms=PC

[nimble apex]

cool, and where do I put the mods to get them to work

[distant hearth]

TheIsland_WP?SessionName=RatsUnited?ServerAdminPassword=2255 -Port=7777 -winliveMaxPlayers=20 -ServerPlatforms=PC

[devout rampart]

Any hint on Shark costume not unlocking to anyone on my cluster?

[distant hearth]

-mods=<modid>,<modid> added to command line

[nimble apex]

awesome dude, thank you for your help

[distant hearth]

its got by doing the shark mini game on the clubark thing

[devout rampart]

Completed several times, 4 other player and me, mo costume unlock, already rebooted server

It doesn't appear even with lock on skins shop in map

[distant hearth]

probably bugged like everything else then, sry

[devout rampart]

Only the inflatable Rex (locked)

[devout rampart]

Ty

[distant hearth]

i dunno if the spawn commands been released for them yet, cud try doing it that way

[devout rampart]

No command found till now, i'll wait

Just wondering if other unofficial servers are fine with skins unlock

[distant hearth]

havent tried it to find out, hopefully someone else comes along that has and can help further

[distant hearth]

If you did the shark mission and if you can't find the shark costume in your inventory, just die and respawn , it will be in your inventory

found in another channel, worth trying

[nimble apex]

Hey sorry for bothering you again but now my server isn't showing up on battlemetrics or ARK:
Commandline: TheCenter_WP?SessionName=RatsUnited?ServerPassword=DaltonRoberts?ServerAdminPassword=2255? -Port=7777 -winliveMaxPlayers=20 -ServerPlatforms=PC -mods=929420,975282,928621,900062,928597,929110,935408,930494,928501,929902,929299,933158,1008144

[distant hearth]

? marks are the start of a command not the end of a command

you have one ending the command

before space - commands

[nimble apex]

So remove the ? after 2255?

[distant hearth]

yes, it shud not be there

it can also take like 5-10 mins for a server to show up in listings, is ussually faster though

[nimble apex]

gotcha

[distant hearth]

i also told u wrong on the server platform command, shud be like this , no 's'
-ServerPlatform=<plat1>[+<plat2>[...]] Allows the server to accept specified platforms. Options are PC for Steam, PS5 for PlayStation 5, XSX for XBOX, WINGDK for Microsoft Store, ALL for crossplay between PC and all consoles. Note: Steam dedicated server supports only PC and ALL options. Undocumented by Wildcard.

pulled from the wiki here ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[nimble apex]

Alright it worked, now how do I change my server harvest settings?

[nimble apex]

I think it should be fine, It allowed me to join and all the mods work

[distant hearth]

its likely ignoring the command though becuase its wrong, so it just skips over it

[distant hearth]

in game settings are done via the ini files , the link above has the settings, pretty sure that one is gameusersetting.ini under the header [serversettings]
harvestamountmutiplier=1

is default, change it to =2 to double it

[nimble apex]

It says the changes need to be made in the game.ini

but I dont have one, is it safe to make my own?

[distant hearth]

i was going off memory so i am prob wrong, the wiki knows better than my memory 🙂

[distant hearth]

yes you can make one

[nimble apex]

cool

[distant hearth]

must be called Game.ini and put in the same location as GameUserSetting.ini

[nimble apex]

alrighty

[distant hearth]

i also just checked the wiki an it says its gus.ini

[nimble apex]

gus.ini not game.ini?

[distant hearth]

thats what the wiki says

it also goes with what i remember

[nimble apex]

gotcha

[distant hearth]

gus.ini=GameUserSetting.ini
incase u didnt know, sry i shorthanded

[nimble apex]

So all these new entries go in the game user settings then

[knotty fiber]

So how do I update my version on Nitrado? it's still on 48.12.

[distant hearth]

no, you have to check the ini first, if the line is already there , alter it .

ONLY if its not there do you add it, duplicate entries cause headaches

[nimble apex]

alright thanks

[agile barn]

Hi all, does anyone have issues with wild dinos spawning inside their base, like literally inside? Foundations all across and still spawning. Do I need to adjust a setting please?

[tired basalt]

does anyone know why OSD's wouldnt be spawing enemies? I can't use the extinction map until it's fixed because OSD's are basically free loot

[sour imp]

Me and my friend went in a wyvern cave, took a lvl 165 egg and went out, in the base, my friend checked his inventory for the egg, just for the egg not to be in his inventory. (I don't have the egg either) So we went back to the cave and the egg and nest weren't there (My friend saw the nest dissapear when he grabbed the egg. Does anybody know what happened? Is this a glitch or something else?

[distant hearth]

it happens if the cave hasnt be cleared for a while, the eggs have a spoil timer and despawn as soon as picked up

[nimble apex]

hey how do i make a server name with spaces in the command line?

[sour imp]

oh that sucks it was a lvl 165 egg

[distant hearth]

wrap it in quotations

[nimble apex]

thanks

[distant hearth]

i.e
?SessionName="Rats United"

[nimble apex]

and how do I change it from PvP to PvE

[distant hearth]

done in the ini

[nimble apex]

cool

[distant hearth]

serverpve=true
iirc, check on the wiki though

[nimble apex]

yep that was it

[distant hearth]

some of them i rem, most not lolz, too may for my small brain

[nimble apex]

Yep got the server working, all the mods and settings I added are working and i was able to remove the password with no issues

Thank you again for your help

Is there a way to download a world's progress from another server I was paying to be hosted?

[stone igloo]

I got my cluster updated for summer fun mod but anytime I try to join club ark, the game crashes. Any ideas?

[ocean island]

I have a cluster with club ark connected (same cluster id) but rewards that I gain aren't being transferred over to the obelisk on the main maps, why is that? does anyone else have the same issue?

[distant hearth]

nitrado or self host?

[distant hearth]

dont add the mod to the club ark server

[ocean island]

self host

[distant hearth]

do u have a shared cluster directory/folder set?

[ocean island]

Yup, il double check that.

[distant hearth]

hmm not sure then sry, works fine for me on test servers

[stone igloo]

I tried it both with and without and it crashes both ways

[distant hearth]

it shud never be on a club ark server , so it might have messed up some files ...

backup your saves, verify the files and try again, if still crash , remove save data an store somewhere else for safety, test again, if still crash, reinstall it

[ocean island]

Thank you, I didn't have the cluster dir linked properly!

[stone igloo]

Removing the save fixed it. thank you!

[fickle basin]

Any invincible dino on Scorched since last update ?

[distant hearth]

np, you might be able recover the corrupt saves if u need them , its 50/50 on if the backups work or not

[stone igloo]

Thanks but its no great loss. I'm good starting fresh.

[lone slate]

Anyone having issues with placing TEK turrets and the shasta saddle being hella glitchy??

[distant hearth]

pretty much everyone, they broke those along with other stuff with the last update

[molten dome]

Anybody know how to enable auto turrets on train carts

[glad flax]

My Club Ark server won’t get out of booting. No mods. Any ideas?

Does anyone know how much ram Club Ark is consuming?

[wise kindle]

Rollback to a previous save.

No idea on ram usage tho.

[glad flax]

This is a new server. Haven’t set it up before

I’m going to attempt to verify install and update and then retry. I’ll update. Just in case anyone cares/runs into the problem in the future. Happy 4th if you guys are celebrating. Regardless I hope everyone is having a great day.

[devout rampart]

You need club ark mod 1005639

[distant hearth]

mine with no one on currently says 0.6gb ram

edit , in comparison my centre with no one on says 4.8gb
i checkied in task manager an its accurate

[devout rampart]

2-3 gb

[wise kindle]

Also be sure you setup the correct map name: BobsMissions_WP

[serene granite]

i added the summer bash to my the center server, server is stuck in loop.
anyone know if there is a bug with the summer bash in the center?

[wooden tartan]

Are you on a Nitrado server?

[serene granite]

Nods
☹️

[wise kindle]

Shutdown and pick a save to rollback to.

[frigid vine]

Because the Servers going over the time into virtual memory. You have to enable those columns in the taskmanager.

[distant hearth]

sry i have no idea what that means? if they were using virtual memory wudnt it bump the disk usage ? im a computer n00b tbh, know enough to be dangerous

[floral marsh]

is there a way to force higher level spawns on on story maps? like make more lvl 100+ dinos spawn? xbox server btw and i have beacon+

[distant hearth]

theres a mod thats very good, not sure if its x platform though, custom dino levels

they can also be coded with beacon in ini but its a alot effort imho

[fallow orbit]

Where can I go if i have an issue with playing? the screen is buggy, it moves to the top left corner and the rest of the screen flashes

[weary jungle]

Got the same issue i changed some grafik settings and its fixed but witch one idk 😄

[fallow orbit]

oh really? could you give me any sort of clue what it was

[weary jungle]

idk i changed everything to middle settings and set up view distance to high

[fallow orbit]

ill maybe reset my graphics and see..

thanks for the tip

[fair bobcat]

I think I found the answer to this through trial and error. Make sure that Summer Bash is also installed on your Club server.

[glad flax]

Thanks everyone. It’s up and running strong

[glad flax]

Just lost my character transferring to club ark??? Wtf???

[wise kindle]

You dont transfer to club ark.

You select club ark from your pause menu while in game.

Button says “Club Ark”

[native wave]

yeah you have to create a new character to join club ark

[distant hearth]

it never let me transfer when i tried it ,gave a warning that char wud be left on the map in the postition i tried from(obelisk or tansmitter ) i did not try downloading a char to it from cloud though, maybe that upsets it ... unless they made another new bug

[glad flax]

That’s what I did. It told me I’d be lying on the ground but I’m not. My character is gone.

[glad flax]

Ya I hit accept and it’s gone. Be wary friends

[distant hearth]

just roll it back then to before u transfered , hopoefully that can work.
might be i dont have issue as use a differnt save method to most

[glad flax]

Tried and it didn’t work. I’m going to have to just reclaim everything. No big deal but I am wondering if it is indeed a big or something to do with my system. But I have no issues transferring in my cluster outside of this.

[wise kindle]

Weird. Had players playing on the map and no issues.

[glad flax]

I will add it ran great and I played all the games fine. Didn’t know anything was wrong until I tried to get back into my center map.

[wise kindle]

You used the button in the pause menu to go to Club Ark? Cuz not sure what happens if you try a different way. Works without issue via pause menu.

[glad flax]

Yes. I used the menu to get into, and leave the club.

[wise kindle]

Weird. Sounds like you got Arked.

[glad flax]

Agreed. Wish it wasn’t while raising Shasta 😂

[distant hearth]

i dont understand how u got ark'd , but ark do weird ark things.
i can only think somehow the .arkprofile got corrupted when going back to the server whilst updating the eos id with the data from the club ark

[wise kindle]

Its Ark. Literally anything can happen for no reason.

[glad flax]

Maybe since there was no save folder for the server, the file went no where and then poof gone??? The server hadn’t saved yet. What do we think

[late matrix]

Has anyone had issues with getting the shark suit skin to unlock for the cluster? We have completed the mission several times but did not seem to unlock the skin. Nothing on cosmetics, smity, or transmitter. any insight would help

[distant hearth]

some have said , if u respawn char it shows up, worth a try

uhoh server update, im off bed , have fun with boot loops 🙂

[left lake]

Can ASA be self hosted?

[placid pine]

i dont have to apply the summer bash mod to my nitrado ark club server, right?

[tepid berry]

Yes.

Anyone here run their ARK server cluster under proxmox or other VM solution? Do you run your cluster on a single Windows VM? Or do you use Kernel Samepage Merging/Memory Overcommit across multiple Windows VMs with a mapped cluster drive? (KSM doesn't work with LXC/Docker containers, so you can't overcommit memory with those)

[grim sinew]

We use proxmox with a windows VM

[tepid berry]

So it just sounds like you're using a single Windows VM running the whole cluster with most of the memory dedicated to that VM?

[grim sinew]

currently yes. Though i did have a ase vm and do still have a palworld vm

[tepid berry]

That's the way I'm doing it now, but since I learned Proxmox can de-duplicate memory/drive space I've been migrating over to a "tiny10" VM per each ASA instance, and so far I've got 3 clustered servers running in ~12gb of ram. Wondered if anyone had done this and ran into any issues.

Since all the assets of the Windows VMs are the same, Proxmox sees the same data across all 3 VMs and just uses a single copy of it - in theory.

[grim sinew]

may i send you a dm?

[tepid berry]

Sure thing.

[devout rampart]

yes, is installed.

[devout rampart]

yes, you need it. Map and mod.

[fickle chasm]

Hey I own a dedicated server and sometimes players are losing their characters when they transfer or after the server restarts anyone having the same issue?

[pure haven]

Hello, can someone point me to where i can purchase or download plugin that makes decay timer to be cluster wide and not just per map

[fickle chasm]

Check out Lethal Plugins Plugin Name: ASA: Lethal Decay Ascended

[pure haven]

thanks!

[fickle chasm]

Yes on a dedicated machine

[frigid vine]

Your system has dedicated (the sticks in your mainboard) and virtual memory (on your harddisk). If the system and application detect and allows to use the VM(=VirtualMemory) it will move the memory from dedicated to VM.

BUT: that doesn't mean you can run e.g. 3 asa-servers with 8gb memory but 64gb VM. This will be slow down the performance of the asa-servers. It works, for maybe 1-5 players, they will not noticed the bad performance.

[tidal birch]

So my girlfriend added the ark summer event to our unofficial server yet we do not have the shark outfit, went and unlocked it on a official server yet still cannot find it. Any ideas?

[lapis quest]

It has to be on ur own server i believe

It's typed on the outfit ''club ark reward''

[tidal birch]

Thank you ❤️

[raven wigeon]

any1 having problems with the new summer bash mod on the center server

mine crashes on start, it runs fine when i remove it!!!

[novel quartz]

Hi anyone have an idea of how I can solve my problem, I'm trying to join my friends' non-dedicated serv but it still marks me connection timeout? (we have several mods and I'm the only one who can't join)

[tired basalt]

OSDs are bugged on my server, is there a way to disable them temporarily?

[languid forge]

never mind, figured it out

[distant hearth]

why not just use it like this ?
start C:\Server\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:\Omega-Server\TheCenter_WP +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

[languid forge]

I am updating 3 servers and rebooting them daily using Task Scheduler

I forgot that I changed the name of the folder there my Steamcmd file is so that is why it wasn't working.

[distant hearth]

ah lol, easy done if name changing , i keep mine in simple locations so i dont forget

[languid forge]

When I just started hosting servers, I followed a video that had me put the SteamCMD inside the server folder for each one and through trial and error found that I just need 1 folder for all servers, 1 folder for SteamCMD, 3 for 3 servers, 1 for backup, and 1 for cluster data.

It now looks much cleaner

[jaunty vortex]

Be nice if those patches were released to unofficial 🙄

[royal loom]

Hello anybody got crashing with server v48.12 and The Center map? Suddenly our server started crashing today every few minutes. It was fine yesterday.

[hot glacier]

Is there a way to modify the quality of the Ark club rewards for non-officials? The awards are for official but in unofficial it is very low 😦

[native wave]

the same commands that work for hexagons on ASE work for the tokens on club ark in ASA:
BaseHexagonRewardMultiplier
HexagonCostMultiplier

[hot glacier]

no, not the quantity, I mean the quality of the prize, the % cap of armor, weapons, etc. is different in unofficial ones, and that's why all there is is low loot 😦 @zealous aurora

[worn belfry]

Our unofficial server somehow reset back to day 1. Is there any way to rollback to a previous save?

[distant hearth]

dont think there is a way yet, as there prob in there own loot crate containers, hopefully beacon data mines in a figures it out ]

[native wave]

haven't tested it yet but it could be affected by the beacon quality level

[distant hearth]

if its nitrado there shud be a option there somewhere to do a server roll back, i havent used them for asa so cant give more help than that,
might be worth try there discord

[worn belfry]

We're using gravel host

[distant hearth]

no clue on that, try there support, hopefully there keeping backups

[hot glacier]

I tried it and it didn't work, I hope it's something that we can change in the future, thanks anyway 🙂

[distant hearth]

a quick google shows there is an option on the left hand side of the server screen for backups, look in that

[worn belfry]

There wasn't any unfortunately.

I was thinking maybe something in the savedarks folder. I have a auto save from couple hours ago but no idea

[distant hearth]

have to contact there support then, the websites says they keep backups but its kinda shady tbh as there not supposed to offer ascended servers

[wise kindle]

You are reset then. Best to setup some auto daily backups at minimum. You may need some powershell scripts to get the job done but no idea what gravel has for options. Most hosts have backups systems you can configure.

[worn belfry]

Alrighty, thanks 🙂

[south whale]

Hello nice people, anyone know how to add artifacts to supply beacons? Asking for a friend that doesn’t have patience to run the caves on center 😋

[distant hearth]

easiest way is with ark beacon app, i think the free version edits loot drops but not certain

[royal loom]

If anybody is wondering, it was probably caused by a mod adding owls

[languid forge]

Does anyone know how I can allow my unofficial server to keep unpaused while no one is logged into the server? I would like to allow my creatures to keep breeding, and my farms to grow without leaving my system on logged into the game.

[gilded copper]

I set the CryopodNerfDuration to 10 seconds, but a player told me her tame was still taking over 10 Minutes.

Did I miss something, how do i adjust to fix it to a lower time?

[wise kindle]

Pretty sure the number is in whole number minutes. 10 would be 10 minutes. Maybe try 0.1

[half hound]

Since 48.12 my servers (Island, Scorch, Center) are all crashing after Added Explorer Note Entry: DEARJANE_EXP_NOTE_7. Self-hosted, not using Summer Bash mod, not trying to add Club to my cluster, wasn't previously using Dear Jane mod, validated with steamcmd. TIA! 🙂

[gilded copper]

It says it's in seconds
"Amount of time, in seconds, Cryo Sickness lasts after deploying a creature from a Cryopod."

Also: Sometimes the night restart messes up the server: such as i have brontos and ptera's removed, and someone told me they saw some last night. And each day I get on(around this time) all my signs have been wiped and are left with . . .

[slender wave]

Is there an official Discord channel to request help troubleshooting why my unofficial servers do not appear in the list anymore?

[distant hearth]

here

provide as much info as you can on server type an what you tried so far

[lapis quest]

Nitrado or selfhost?

Non nitrado uno servers wont show up on the list unless you click on that fcking ''show player server'' button

[slender wave]

I brought up the island in February, and scorched earth about a month after it was released. So far I have checked port, forwarding on my firewall router and verified that my IP address has not changed. I have turned off the firewall of my server and still do not get, my server listed on the unofficial list. I have checked the filters on my client machine. I have one user that is running on Xbox remotely. My client PC machine is on the same network as the server, but only connects through the official website. My server names are monkeysoup1 one and monkeysoup2. We have always had to search unofficial servers because my server never appears otherwise.

Show player is checked

[wise kindle]

Dunno then. I disable it on my cluster. Its just a massive pain in the ass.

[gilded copper]

I might have to do that as well.

[slender wave]

My servers were searchable on July 3

[lapis quest]

Let me see if i can find it on my ark

Its showing just fine on battlemetrics tho

[slender wave]

What is battle metrics?

[lapis quest]

A serverlist website

Nvm, geforcenow is updating, cant check right now

[distant hearth]

what ports do you have forwarded?

[lapis quest]

Battlemetrics is showing his server as 7777

[slender wave]

I have the standard ports forwarded

[distant hearth]

ye 7777 and 7779

[distant hearth]

there is no standard ports

[slender wave]

7777-7781

[distant hearth]

they default to udp 7777 if not told otherwise

[lapis quest]

The new server patch came out 12 mins ago, did you updated?

[slender wave]

Not yet, let me give it a try

[distant hearth]

ok that shud be fine, server version is a good point

mine are now taking the latest update, hopefully v48.16

[willow grail]

would a ryzen 5 5600x and 32gb ram be enough to host a server for friends

[distant hearth]

yes, shud be able run two small servers on that spec

[willow grail]

a pvp server with 5 people total (Will it lag like crazy when a few turrets shoot) i wont be playing on this pc it will be standalone, also i will run one at a time and will add mods

[distant hearth]

shud be no issues for that player cpount

[willow grail]

even if 150 turrets were shooting at once ?

i remember i had a nitrado server a while back which had 10 slots for ase, and it would lag like crazy when more then 40 turrets would shoot, which ended up ruining the experience

[hardy marten]

if you want an application to help with your servers launching and being clusterd you could possibly host more than 2. i have 4 that run at the same time no issues

[willow grail]

how many players do you have on a server, and is it pvp?

[distant hearth]

i dont know for certain , but expect it be fine, nitrado servers kinda suck

[hardy marten]

it was pvp originally but i switched it to pve recently. but theres only 6 of us usually on my servers

[willow grail]

yeah worst case scenario i could move some of my ram in my main pc into the server one, making it go from 32gb of ram to 48

[willow grail]

did you notice any lag when alot of turrets would shoot etc

and how easy is it to add mods to a server, i already saw the video on the ark server tool which looks quite easy to use

[distant hearth]

wudnt reccomend that, ram prefer to be matched an in dual rank , adding sticks that arent matched can cause issues

[hardy marten]

idk i never haad turrets going but my little brother spawned 150 argentavises for no apparent reason and it wasnt terrible

[willow grail]

it would be 2 sticks of 16gb, and 2 sticks of 8

[slender wave]

My servers are now showing in the list. Thanks w1llz123.

[distant hearth]

dunno about mods on a tool, i do it manually, so just have to add
-mods=<modid>,<modid>
to my start command

[distant hearth]

yea never really a good idea, might work, might not, but honestly you should be fine with 32gb for one server an that player count, probably 2

[willow grail]

alr thanks alot

damn, nice to know

[hardy marten]

if anyone wants an app to launch your servers, clusters and do mods etc etc lmk

[willow grail]

isnt that the server tool on github by ragonz

[hardy marten]

nah i have my own actually

[gilded copper]

My admin on my server runs on xbox series S and she gets kicked back to homescreen several times while she tries to play. Sometimes she'll get lucky and get in but it doesn't last long.
Is there any way to help her fix it to where she can stop getting booted?
I'm sure there are alot of people that play just fine

[distant hearth]

theres a whole bunch of them , hopefully they been updated by now an get the command lines right for asa

[willow grail]

whats the best server tool in your opinion to use ?

[distant hearth]

wudnt know, i do it manually, is easy enough once u understand whats it doing

[willow grail]

fair

[hardy marten]

tbh i never seen any server tools until i made one

if you want a demo lmk might as well try it, way easier than doing each maps ini settings seperatly

[willow grail]

alr thanks

[distant hearth]

asa servers dont need much to run, a good enough pc,simple batch file,
Start C:\arkserver1\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="willz laptop" -port=8888 -winlivemaxplayers=10

this wud start an run a server from the location i set on port 8888udp, call it willz laptop and limit it 10 players

[hardy marten]

thats fine and all until you want a cluster to access all the maps and be able to adjust them at the same time\

[distant hearth]

easy enough just add a cluster id an a clusterdiroverride locaction if u run them from seperate exe

anyway its just my way, i understand others like to use managers , i havent a clue on how they work so leave them alone, i only know basics

[hardy marten]

yes but that doesnt save time, my problem with servers is i hate adjusting the ini files for each server individually, then adding mod id's to each one. i can just do it in a push of a button now.

[distant hearth]

oh i see ,most of the managers ive seen dont do the ini stuff

[hardy marten]

if you wanna try it too i dont mind, super simple setup i just know most people hate dealing with the setup and just wanna play the game lol me personally ive even wasted so many hours configuring the server its ridiculous. some days didnt even get to actually play it

[distant hearth]

thanks for the offer, i use beacon for my inis

dm the link though will check it out when get time , always interested in new things 🙂

[hardy marten]

sure thing, ill send you a link to the website however if you wanna try it youll have to message me. its not a live download right now.

[distant hearth]

np and will do
