Also is there anyway to make prime meat stack

[gilded copper]

The code for overriding max quantity is this: This is 1 code

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_CookedPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Here is for Raw Prime Meat
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Looks 2 of our our Nitrado servers are hung up in a restart loop, though one is not. Island and Center are not starting up but Scorched is. Our scorched gets less folks on it so maybe something special about the mods used there. Same mods on all 3 but someone might not have used one of them on Scorched. Not sure yet. I am not the owner so I can't do much other than report it here in case others are getting the issue and figure it out.

center update 3:
118 sarco
5 deinosuchus
1 rhynio

adding spawns for rhynio while modifying spawns on deino

also attempting to add some spawns of the deino to the oasis biome on scorched earth<---failed...need blueprint path

[native wave]

center update 4:
111 sarco
21 deinosuchus
1 rhynio

Like the deinosuchus level....need to get the rhynio spawning a bit more

[chilly venture]

For anyone looking for the blueprint path of the Deinosuchus it appears to be: "Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Deinosuchus/DeinosuchusASA_Character_BP.DeinosuchusASA_Character_BP'"

A little odd compared to some others but It seems to work for spawning em and presumable editing spawns

[native wave]

just like gigantoraptor. just confirmed on my scorched map

Deinosuchus for Scorched in the Oasis biome
5-6 around red ob oasis (not cave)
2 around green ob
2 around the very tail end of the canyons near the spires.
I did not touch the cave spawns of them on my map at all. Those seem mostly concentrated in the oasis cave, with a couple spawning in the grave of the tyrant
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesOasis_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Deinosuchus",EntryWeight=0.15,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/ASA/Dinos/Deinosuchus/Deinosuchusasa_Character_BP.Deinosuchusasa_Character_BP_C"),NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=200)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/Game/ASA/Dinos/Deinosuchus/Deinosuchusasa_Character_BP.Deinosuchusasa_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.03)))
and added to my spawn work wiki page

[native wave]

still working on the center spawns....more after dinner

[woven linden]

As a follow up, this was the "fix" that our server admin had to do for this last update. LOL

Was the trick really just force stopping it, waiting for 3-5min then restarting... maybe???

[fading thicket]

anyoone have the blueprint path for the deino and its saddle?

[native wave]

@fading thicket the path for the deinosuchus itself

Not sure if anyone has the saddle yet

[digital tree]

What's a good spawn code for the new dino

[lone slate]

Anyone else crashing on PS5 trying to load in to the center?

Rhynios up to 20, so bringing those numbers back down

[plain remnant]

Anyway to disable sky supply drops and keep cave loot crates

[distant hearth]

disable , not that i know of, you cud re code them to contain like 1 thatch wall or similar so there no point getting them though

[hardy finch]

Has anyone recieved the 49.5 update on Steam for servers? Tried to log in tonight and there seems to be a mismatch. My server is "updated" to the "latest" 48.16

[distant hearth]

age old cliche but, try switching it off and on again. restart steam , if wont update, restart pc

[hardy finch]

yea, tried all the above. Even forced a Windows update. I'll give it another shot tomorrow, could be a CDN region thing. Thanks for the confirmation tho that It has been pushed.

[native wave]

it definitely got pushed

[lapis quest]

Does anyone know if -passivemod for summerbash is working?

[broken halo]

I'm not getting my servers to show in search since update dropped I've shut them all down separately update/validate probably 4 5 times with waiting like an hour between shutdowns and even did the shut down wait 20 min then start up my last resort I'm shutting down server tower and restarting any other ideas I could try?

[lunar cloud]

can you confirm they are up to date looking at the logs ? you should see 49.5 as version as example below
[2024.07.17-22.46.15:360][ 0]ARK Version: 49.5

[languid plank]

update: i got it to work. turns out the pak files in my server did not update at all, so i manually updated them and it works now.

[broken halo]

Where am I looking for that at?

OK looking through the console for the GSM looks like it's still 48.12

Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...OK
Waiting for client config...OK
Waiting for user info...OK
Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)

...... this is what I get when updating I've been running the same cluster and program since launch why an error now ?

[lunar cloud]

Just googled Error! App '2430930' state is 0x226 after update job. and seems related to files being in use by another process. Windows is a clownshow when it comes to handling files by processes. I would reboot the machine, and then try the steamcmd command again just to make sure there is no zombie process still using a file that it cannot write to

[broken halo]

Yeah I did that twice wondering the same thing . I am cleaning some older logs and found some backups taking space on main drive I'm wondering if it don't have enough available so gonna give that a shot

Well seems like that may have been my problem. ?!? I didn't have enough clear space for temp files well I never said I was the brightest bulb I guess 😅

[digital tree]

Doesn't work says can't spawn on this map. Even though they naturally spawn on it.

[native wave]

something is stopping you from using the command.....granting myself admin and using that works perfectly on my center map. spawns a wild deinosuchus at my location

[native wave]

are you on single player or an unofficial server?

[digital tree]

Unofficial server

[native wave]

and you did enable cheats with the admin password?

[native wave]

or alternatively, setup the admin whitelist and add yourself using your EOS ID?

[lapis quest]

If anyone else is wondering, -passivemods for summer bash is working just fine

Server just got booted, no skins/candies/chibis missing

[native wave]

good to hear

[lapis quest]

Wierd that wc didnt said a thing about it

[native wave]

I haven't tried it on my server as I don't intend to disable any event mods. Just going off of other user's reports who said it was broken in various ways when trying to set the mod to passive. I suspect redownloading the mod when doing it might help people having issues

[native wave]

I should also note that this is only for ASA, NOT ASE. Deinosuchus was only added to the base game on ASA.

[digital tree]

Yes Asa admin cheats and gcm enabled. I use the code and it's says unable to spawn on this map.

They spawn wild on the maps but I can spawn them using admin control. For our in game admim Shop.

[languid plank]

ok, i need some urgent help/advice on this one: i got our new center map started and encoutered a couple of problems. 1) wyverns seem to have thier levels reset when i download them to the map. 2) i had a server crash shortly after another guy downloaded his character, his character and .arkprofile are now gone.
my question is this, i have a previous save of the island map from Monday that would still have his character on the Island map, if i load that will he be able to use his character even if his .arkprofile is gone?

[native wave]

I suspect it's the difference between Steam and Xbox. some alternative commands:

Parameters: Tamed(1)/Wild(0) Level (just leave it one)
cheat SDF Deinosuchusasa_Character_BP 1 150 1

Parameters: distance y-offset z-offset level
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Deinosuchus/Deinosuchusasa_Character_BP.Deinosuchusasa_Character_BP'" 100 0 0 150

Beyond that, it's probably a mod or the xbox client itself blocking you. I'm out of ideas

[native wave]

if the arkprofile is gone they will have to create a new character. If you have it from the island map, you can probably recover it, but the inventory will likely be empty. you can find their arkprofile file by getting their EOS ID. the file will be
EOS_ID.arkprofile

[digital tree]

Ill try it later

[hexed pine]

Alright server gods. I have one for you. I replaced the Titanosaur spawn with a basic brontosaur in the ini. No big deal. But now I am seeing brontos everywhere!! In biomes they should never spawn in. I am curious if there is a 100% spawn rate on the Titan normally if you replace it with another dino will it 100% spawn that dino over and over again. Is there a background limit # per map thing for Titans that normally keeps that in check but would not with another dino.

[native wave]

better to nullify the spawn than actually replace it with something

NPCReplacements=((FromClassName="Titanosaur_Character_BP_C", ToClassName=""))

[hexed pine]

Yeah I am all over that. I was just curious if anyone knew for certain if this was the cause of my bronto explosion. Looking to the server Jedis.

[native wave]

the bronto spawns may have a different spawn weight to spawn more....thus when you change the titan to bronto it used the higher weight....so that any area the titan spawns you get brontos spawning everywhere. I would say yes, that is the cause, unless you're not mentioning other spawn modifications you are doing

[languid plank]

yes, i am aware of how to identify the file.

[hexed pine]

Nope, that was it and what I had a feeling it was. Appreciate the confirmation. No more Brontopocolypse.

[native wave]

just making sure, not everyone knows, or think it's still the Steam ID

[lapis quest]

@native waveUpdating about the passivemods for the event

The event itself isnt working anymore, wild colours are still showing up on the maps tho

[native wave]

yeah not sure with the colors. Not a real important part of the passive mods anyway...that's mostly about just preserving any items

[hexed pine]

Trying to set some cuddleintervals. Anyone know if the new 8 hour time is static now or does it still fluctuate the way the original 3-4 hour one did?

[native wave]

finished posting all the spawn work I've done with the introduction of the Deinosuchus to my wiki user page:

[native dove]

Hey all, is there any way I can add the summer bash colors to my nitrado server without adding the summer bash mod? I do not want the mod, do not care about any of the skins and HATE the intro music every time I log in. Just want the colors. I see you can do stuff like “-pridecolors” in the ini but idk if there is one for summer bash.

[rancid marsh]

Anyone come across a no character in their connected players box on admin manager ?

Is this person looking to troll our map never seen it before.

[native scroll]

That might be a player that hasn't created a character yet, afaik

Anybody knows if/how you can "extend" the event on an unofficial server? We wanted to give our players one additional week of the summer bash but it seems like the event ended on officials AND unofficials, too. (Note: Using Nitrado)

[rancid marsh]

Yes sir just keep the mod running.

[native scroll]

I do but nobody can craft stuff at the smithy 😵‍💫

[rancid marsh]

I'll investigate and get back to you.

[native scroll]

Thank you very much in advance. 🙏🏼

[languid plank]

im gonna try to restore an island save point that had his character on it and see if him rejoining the server gets something since his character exists on the sever. if not, then he lost his character and we lost a crap ton of stuff. nothing that cant be replaced though

[hexed pine]

Wasn't all the event stuff crafted at the Mortal and Pestle?

[olive talon]

Nope, everything gets made in the smithy.

[novel pine]

How can i add the bot for offline tribe logs on my server so u get notified per discord if u get offline attacked

[raven wigeon]

my the center doesnt show on the list!!!

[hexed pine]

Yeah sorry I misremembered. So what were all those recipes for clothes and hats and swimsuits that were in the Cooking Pot?

[olive talon]

Those were event cosmetics in evolved, the ones in Ascended are the smithy

[hexed pine]

Ahh the differences. 🙂

[honest stream]

Hey guys
I’m playing in a an unofficial cluster and I got a bit of problem where I can’t transfer to another map when I do the game just freezes and I have to completely shut the game down and relog then download my character.
I’m on scorched trying to transfer to the center.
I’m on Xbox.
I’m using a transmitter.
Others seem to have the same problem on different maps and platforms.
I have waited on the frozen screen for up to 10min with no change at all.
Any help or experience with this one ?

[vague grove]

Next time you transfer and your on the upload go to the map you want to go and grab your character there, I've had issues getting home screened whilst transferring maps it takes a couple of attempts as it says load error. You should be fine

[cinder abyss]

What program do people use to create high quality server adverts in? Thanks!

Hi, on SE setup, does someone know how to succesfully do a -clusterdiroverride with spaces? (windows11)
i have spaces in my path, and i cant figure out how to get the working combination from \, /, ' ', " " . The copy from filemanager only recognise until the first space, and creates a folder.
(im trying to place cluster beneath the SavedArks so maybe the server shows up in steam transfer window too (in case someone already tried and know if woth trying) )

[distant hearth]

usually putting in quotes works
like this
-clusterdiroverride="c:\\my cluster\my file\saved"

[safe monolith]

how do i code both giga types in desert crytsal isles on nitrado for ase

[fresh plume]

i swear i tried it... But works now. Thanks ❤️

[fresh plume]

I'm overall having issues to run my dedicated SE cluster properly.
ATM:

• I host the game through steamCMD, and can join the servers with epic account without any problems. (at least now. it sure was a battle)
• In the mean time, my friend from the same network, but using steam. He adds the server to favourites through steamservers(ip:27015), it shows. He joins the game and the servers are visible under the favourites filter, but not the unofficial one. And so in the game, whenever he tries to transfer, the server list isnt showing our other map. (it listed a few unknown servers when we used the same clusterid as them, but finally i changed that)
  -I tried joining through nvidia geforce now, but that steam doesnt even recognise the ip:27015 as a server

Settings:
-start_server.bat -s:
-- cluster ids the same, -crossplay -PublicIPForEpic= MyPublicId -NoSteamClient
-- removed the altsavedirectory , so every map's infos are saved under the same SavedArks folder. (tried to keep kinda sorted by using the same directory, like first try, but in this case, i couldnt deploy from my transferred cryos)
-- -ClusterDirOverride= set to be the same SavedArks folder

• in transfer menu try with show password protected on and off too, with no luck.
• 27015, 27016, 7777, 7778, 7779, 77780 port forwarded on router and on firewall (even tried to disable firewall) (we didnt get a router from our internet provider: the one we got isnt able to port forward and allow access to the wifi at the same time. We bought a router, so the original machine can be set as a gateway. However we could just connect theese two together, and the original one works gatewaylikely without setting it as one (need to call customer service and identify ourself on phone to do so, so we just skipped it, as it works perfectly fine this way.))
• set up virtual Microsoft loopback adapter, for settings: use mypublicipv4 to 255.0.0.0 subnet mask

I read the internet, the discord, i'm clueless 😭

[plain remnant]

How might I nerf Argentavises to be a bit slower and have a bit less weight?

So has anyone had problems when attempting to uninstall the Love Evolved mod and replace it with Summer Bash? The last few times I tried it my servers never came back online and it forced me to reinstall Love Evolved and rollback.

hey guys, hoping for some help ( ive raised tickets etc ) still no help

For a few months now, there are only like 4- 15 unoffical servers showing up for me and sometimes I will type AUS or search by mod and 25-30 will come up and its like 90% of them are missing, thing is it has happenned to my friend now too ,has any1 experienced this any suggestions on hot to fix, ive reinstalled , verified, trying it on a new pc heaps of things

[hexed pine]

You have to modify the creature in Unreal and then turn it into a mod you can add to your game/server.

[plain remnant]

I thought there was ini settings for it

[last kestrel]

Anyone else here also having lag & crash issues with Summer Bash mod skins?
Seems theres been more lag on my servers since that mod install.

I think thats 2%, as 1 is 100%
low count to test there.

Anyone have a code for turning Element to Soap for server transfer?

[native wave]

there's mods that convert element for server transfer

[chilly coral]

I assume this is not a Mod or nitrado problem but i wanna ask here as well.

My friend had premium omega by Hexen. Weve been playing for weeks now. But then yesterday it's prompting him to rebuy it. It's still doing it a day later. I assume this is a cursed forge issue and not a mod specific issue or nitrado?

[native wave]

I like Transfers Ascended myself

[native wave]

should be a curseforge issue, for whatever reason it's no longer acknowledging they bought it. if it doesn't clear up perhaps contacting curseforge could get it fixed

[hollow nacelle]

Anyone know of any mods that’s causing the thatch to severely duplicate after being put in any storage place and then not being able to use the thatch

[chilly coral]

I assumed so. Thank you+

[lone lodge]

Good day loverly people. Question. I would like to add one mod to one server in our cluster. and make said items from that mod transferrable to other servers in the cluster but not available in the others. How do I do this?

[native wave]

has to be made a passive mod on the servers you don't want it available on

[lone lodge]

OK can you tell me how to do that please:) ty Mod=111111 -passive?

[native wave]

☝🏻

[honest drum]

Hy guys how can use Summon comands on my friend server ?

[lone lodge]

Thank you , so it has to be in both lines. Thank you. I'm glad I asked before trying this. I remembered seeing something like this at Christmas and I could not get it to work. Now I understand. Hopefully, I can apply it 🙂

[native wave]

yeah it was introduced just after the start of the year after they disabled the winter wonderland event. If you have any issues, redownload the mod you want to make passive on the server, sometimes there are issues with making a mod passive like that.

[lone lodge]

Ok, other question same topic, what if you have for example Forglar and it has its own dinos like magic dinos. this is my current problem How do i make it so ppl can take magic Pteras to Island ? example.

[native wave]

might get away with just adding the Forglar mod to the island. Without setting it as the map to use in the command line the items would still be loaded. if they start spawning on the island you would need to added it as a passive

might be best to ask wherever they have the support for the forglar mod...discord or whatever

[lone lodge]

Thanks Appreciate the answer. and i guess Forglar is my next stop . lol Currently I have it set up and stay and play and go home alone:P

thanks, and i js wanted to ask if their server for 7 $ for 4 slots r as good as normal ones

[olive talon]

That's only like a 3 day temp server, you'll have to pay more for longer

[trail nexus]

ohh I understand thanks for sharing tho and i think i will still take the g portal one because others are just too expensive

or i will look if i join someone with my friend

[willow crystal]

hi, we have ClubArk running on our server, but the loot there is a bit too low, so far I assumed that the SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier is in the Game.Ini with which I can influence the loot quality, but that doesn't seem to be the case? I changed the setting from default 1.0 to 1.5 but there is no change so far. What and how do I have to set for ClubArk to get higher loot?

[bleak ivy]

if you move your SP save to the dedicated you won't have to deal with the node respawn issue. its only singleplayer.

everything is in the map file except what is directly on the player and things to do with the tribe (who owns what, its just ownership)

[native wave]

going to test if setting a really high value for the loot quality has any affect. give me a few minutes

yeah it's not looking good. with that set to 4....the rhynio wheel produced nothing above apprentice. I started on the boxes for armor....and got an apprentice set of riot boots on a max drop roll of teal. Like what....apprentice on a max loot drop. I'll continue to try until I fill up my inventory. to see what I get

yeah it doesn't affect the quality at all. filling my inventory....vast majority of qualities are primitive, ramshackle, or apprentice. I got 1 journeyman scuba chest...that's the highest I got

[native wave]

so no, it has no effect

I get wanting to keep the quality under control but

1. As a late game player, I expect higher quality drops...so filling up my inventory I expect at least one ascendant...if not multiple
2. I should be able to tweak the quality with that command....but obviously can't

and it's a club ark reward so it isn't grindable...which sucks ass

looked through the server configuration list...but there aren't any other settings I'm not already using that might affect that

[willow crystal]

so no other settings to edit the loot quality for club ark? 😦

[native wave]

I already had the token reward increased and cost reduced

not that I've found

[willow crystal]

sad...

No...or more precisely....only way is switching to a dedicated.

[late estuary]

Are there working admin commands in ASA to change weather in Scorched Earth?

[native wave]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#CE

[plain remnant]

This is pissing me off so much… I can’t figure out if this is even a thing or what, or how to do it…

How do I make tamed dinos take less damage and deal more damage without affecting wild dinos in the .ini?

[bleak ivy]

the wiki says DinoDamageMultiplier and DinoResistanceMultiplier are for wild dinos.
TamedDinoDamageMultiplier and TamedDinoResistanceMultiplier for tamed dinos.

[plain remnant]

I tried changing those but they don’t seem to work?

[bleak ivy]

gameusersettings.

I'll check

[plain remnant]

Thank you 💜

Lets say I want Tames to take 25% less damage and deal 50% more damage, what would I do?

[bleak ivy]

I'd do TamedDinoDamageMultiplier=1.5
and TamedDinoResistanceMultiplier=0.75

if you change wild dinos it'd also effect the player, tamed, other wild, and structures

wait

yeah, thats right resistance is backwards. its not effecting my game btw. might not be in ASA

[plain remnant]

Thats what I’m seeing…

It doesn’t seem to work :\

Is there any way I could substitute it?

[bleak ivy]

I'm checking the wild version

more singleplayer issues. I'm gonna assume servers won't overwrite the settings. so the wild versions should work

[plain remnant]

Hmm?

I’m confused

[bleak ivy]

singleplayer for ASA seems to want to override certain settings so they can't go too high. I'm testing again with normal numbers

[plain remnant]

Okay

[bleak ivy]

yeah,
DinoDamageMultiplier=0.75
DinoResistanceMultiplier=1.5
that should give the settings you want

it'll effect structures and the player tho.

[plain remnant]

Wait, so it won’t affect wild?

just tames?

[bleak ivy]

no, it'll be everything that interacts with wilds.

so your survivor and structures included

[plain remnant]

Can you explain that a bit more clearly, I don’t get it

[bleak ivy]

everything will do more damage to wild dinos, wild dinos will do less damage to everything.

[plain remnant]

And only wild dinos?

Because I want wild dinos to take less damage so their torpor goes up slower

[bleak ivy]

you said tames here?
if you want wilds to deal more damage, and take less damage then
DinoDamageMultiplier=1.5
DinoResistanceMultiplier=0.75

[plain remnant]

Nonono…

What I have right now is, wilds take less damage so they knock out slower

But I want tames to do more damage so they can counteract it, and I’d like for them to recieve less damage too if possible

[bleak ivy]

what

[plain remnant]

Idk man 😭

[bleak ivy]

oh. yeah thats not possible since the tamed dino one doesn't work.

[plain remnant]

what the heck…

[bleak ivy]

you can only change players, wild dinos, and structures.

[plain remnant]

Thats so dumb, what? Is that a known issue?

[bleak ivy]

thats the setting. it doesn't work.

[plain remnant]

Yeah… I tried that and it wasn’t working, that’s why I asked. I hope this is something that can get fixed…

Now I gotta figure out what to settle on. Hmm.

[bleak ivy]

could lower player damage that setting does work

[plain remnant]

so the scalers, they don’t affect tamed ones at all? Only wilds?

[bleak ivy]

No, the scalers effect what they are for.

[plain remnant]

Oh, fair… so player weapons hit softer?

[bleak ivy]

DinoDamageMultiplier that effects wilds damage to everything.

TamedDinoDamageMultiplier that is supposed to effect tamed damage to everything but it doesn't work.

[plain remnant]

Ohhhkay….

So it’s really just [Wild]DinoDamageMultiplier
and [Wild]DinoResistanceMultiplier

[bleak ivy]

yeah but if you put the part at the start it won't work

[plain remnant]

Yeah ik ik

[bleak ivy]

PlayerDamageMultiplier and PlayerResistanceMultiplier also work.
too high player damage will just kill you with every attack tho 😂

punch I mean tools don't do recoil

[plain remnant]

So to get what I want…

I need to reduce dinodamage so they dont hurt as much, and reduce playerdamage so they knock out slower…

This way, my things will take less damage from wild dinos, but their ability to kill things won’t be affected?

[bleak ivy]

and you'll tame slower. not sure why you want that tho.

[plain remnant]

Because I’m weird!

I also feel strange when a massive dinosaur falls asleep from a few puny arrows

Welp, I think that solves it 😄

Thank you so very much, ya helped me figure out something in like half an hour that I couldn’t figure out for days

You’re tha best ^-^

[languid plank]

is there a setting that would cause dinos that i imprinted on to reset their levels when i download them?

it seems to be only dinos that i have imprinted 100% on

[wise kindle]

If the two servers dont have identical settings this can happen.

[languid plank]

it is using the same .ini file

[tidal hazel]

my friend crashes on xbox with primal chaos anyone know why

[hexed nest]

asm (ark server manager) is saying steam webapi key missing do I need ark to make a server or just key

i'm using another device to make a server, i'm also scared of using my main account so I'm using an alt

[wise kindle]

You shouldnt host more than one map off the same files. Its not a good idea. Seperate folders is recommended.

[languid plank]

i dont run more than one map at a time if thats what you are saying. im not clustering anything. and it hasnt been an issue before. we uploaded and left SE with some of these dinos and they were downloaded just fine. ive uploaded them from the island and downloaded them again and they were fine. its not all dinos either, only certain ones, and doesnt happen on every imprint. only thing that i can think of is that its taking the stat and basically saying 'yeah thats not right' and resets them to level 1. the wyvern eggs i had would do this as well. if i lose all of my imprints, thats fine, i have breeders that are downloading correctly so i can just rebreed them. its just like 'why?'

so if there is a setting that would or could cause this, thats what im asking for

[wise kindle]

Is this a non dedi?

[languid plank]

its dedicated

[normal pelican]

My friend and I willing to Play ASA, but he cant join the server. Hes currently playing on PS5 and just get that Connection Timeout error, same thing with PC, but with VPN on it works and he connects. Whats the problem with that and how to fix this issue to play on PS5?

[native wave]

means your direct connection to them is not good enough for a connection, but rerouting using a VPN works...so go with that. A VPN routes your connection to the VPN end point, potentially bypassing problem links in your direct connection.

[normal pelican]

so he needs to turn VPN on on his PS5 right

[native wave]

correct

may add some latency, but as long as the route isn't too out of the way, it should be minimal

[normal pelican]

okay thanks!

[bleak ivy]

even when you aren't hosting more then one map at a time. make sure you still have clustering setup. if you don't, you'll be going through the client uploads (like singleplayer/non-dedi) and it'll cause these kinds of issues.

[languid plank]

Alright, appreciate the explanation rather then just saying 'you shouldn't do that'. I'll configure it as a cluster and hopefully not have anymore issues.

[bleak ivy]

nah, you don't need to have different files. I don't it works fine

only issue I've had were mod files needing to be reinstalled but that has happened once.

its happened more times for my client then my server lol.

[languid plank]

Oh I just figured in need to add in the -cluster line I wasn't going to do different files lol

[unborn trail]

anyone using arkapi having bad issues since wc patch

[naive pilot]

hi hi. we have the forglar premium map and players are stating that they are unable to join tribes (ive seen it myself) they can make tribes but cannot invite anyone or even open the player info thingy (like holding y on console)... any idea why this would be? we have 3 other maps and have no issues there and the person who set up the map set it up the same way as the others,,,, any ideas???

[sacred kestrel]

How do I fix the gigantoraptor from having a ridiculously long timer before a feather can be plucked again ?

[opaque elm]

Its 24 hours. Is yours showing different?

[sacred kestrel]

Yeah 109:22:32:45

[robust nymph]

Need help with server countdown issue.
For ase and now for asa, the server restart, which is 300, will start countdown as normal and then randomly go to 300 again, usually 3 or 4 times and then will shut down during the 200s somewhere.
Is there is a fix for this. I've never been on a server that does this before, so not sure how she's done it. Was hoping it would stop with asa, but she's somehow coded it the same way on here but doesn't know what's gone wrong.

[stone igloo]

I need help with club ark. Running my own private cluster. I can join club ark and run around but if I try to launch any of the mini games my game crashes to desktop. I've tried wiping my club ark save files on the server but I must not be getting everything because I still have the same character after I wipe the save. Is the club ark character stored on my local PC? If so, which file can I delete to wipe it?

[waxen robin]

anyone else lose RCON when they updated to 49.7?

[opaque elm]

OH jeez..yea, thats an issue lol

[sacred kestrel]

Apparently it's glitched or something cause I went and tamed my own and the timers 8 hours. I don't know what caused it but the person that reported it to me said she's got 2 with crazy timers and 2 that don't

[iron bronze]

Has the summer base content been added to the base game? Or do we have to set it as a passive mod??

[crude thistle]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the cryo sickness permanently ?

[echo fractal]

use a mod for cryos

[native wave]

pvp or pve?

[native wave]

If pve: use

EnableCryoSicknessPVE=False``` 
in the GameUserSettings.ini
If pvp...you can't without a mod.

[languid plank]

is this client data going to be on the pc that i play on?

[brisk yarrow]

Which host yall use for ps cluster? Nitrado?

[native wave]

nitrado is the only option for them setting it up for you. there are many self-hosting companies, but you have to load the software yourself
For ASA at least

[distant hearth]

set as passive for now, they havent said its intergrated yet

[brisk yarrow]

Sry i should have mentioned. I mean ASE

[native wave]

not sure on options for PS hosting then

[distant hearth]

id go with g portal , personally never had issues and way better than shitrado

[brisk yarrow]

Wheres the difference? Thx for any suggestions

[frigid vine]

Fixed an issue with structures piling up at the center of the map.
Hrello 🙂 Is with this Patch the 50/50 bug gone? o.O

[distant hearth]

nitrado are notorious for poor customer support and poor server performance, pretty sure g portal are a lil cheaper too

[brisk yarrow]

I checked the prices but they don't seem to be that different unfortunately
Is there any way to get a discount?

[bleak ivy]

it should be going through singleplayer uploads. thats what happens when servers aren't in a cluster

[languid plank]

alright, ill browse for that file

[low dew]

someone say they need a dedicated server for asa and dont want to use trashrado

i got you fam just dm me

[lone venture]

[humble thicket]

hey is there a way to get all the events in ASE single player still?

[lethal panther]

Hello, I have a problem on my nitrated pve server. It is impossible to give tribe, alliance, access the inventory, etc. I have not touched anything that could cause that. Does anyone know the solution?

[bleak ivy]

summer and birthday should still work, the others won't really work since the assets were removed.

[austere rune]

i'm running both an ASE server and an ASA server with DifficultyOffet set to 1 and DifficultyOverride set to 7. this is having the desired effect of setting max wild dino level to 210, but... loot from crates sucks. i thought loot quality multiplier should be equal to difficulty value (7 in my case), no? does anyone know why loot crates have garbage loot?

[untold ginkgo]

Does anyone know the code for spawning the deinosuchus now that it’s been introduced in the base game? I can’t seem to find a code that works

[distant hearth]

you wodd need to increase the loot quality a bit, especially on the ase servers

asa by default has a bit better loot but you might sstill want increase it a lil

[austere rune]

why though? is the information on the wiki that loot multiplier equals difficulty level outdated and not true anymore?

[distant hearth]

i dont fully understand the relationship between difficulty and loot , but in my experience the default 1 , always needed increasing a little

fishing i wud do at like 2,5 , normal loot at like 2x , seemed fine for what i wanted

[austere rune]

hmmm ok thanks, did you change difficulty at all?

[distant hearth]

i never have, just the overrride for dino levels , then increaseedd the loot qualoity

[robust nymph]

Anyone found a fix to the decay timers resetting since wildcard did a decay thing a couple weeks back?

[tidal hazel]

hello i wanan kno what the 3day subscription means do i have to pay every 3days or does it run for 3days?
in nitra hosting website

[languid plank]

we have figured out that it has a higher chance of happening on creatures that i crashed on while uploading. i also found that we have enough stuff that came out ok from our lines that rebreeding is an option.

so nothing really lost, although my megalania farm is just gone. now to breed this 41000hp giga with high stat melee ones

[slim tendon]

Is there a way to restore/fix a _WP file? Even the 1st backup file from 3d ago isn't working. It simply is stuck at Booting.... If I remove the _WP file and let it generate a new one it works. So 100% it has something to do with that file.

[brisk yarrow]

Are the commands for expert mode (custom spawns and drop config and so on) the same for gportal as they are in nitrado?

[olive talon]

All ini configurations are the same regardless of how you're hosting.

[brisk yarrow]

Thank you.

[brisk yarrow]

Are there ini settings for the following 2 things:

Allow/disallow certain structures to be placed on platform saddles (better to say on specific platform saddles? Not in general)?

Allow/disallow commands for certain creatures to grab other certain creatures?

[compact goblet]

when you set passive mods do you need to have the mod ID in both -passivemods and -mods?

[distant hearth]

yes, preferably high up in the mod order too usually

[compact goblet]

thx

[wheat jewel]

my friend is in a different region and gets different un dedicated sessions how do we use the same region

i cant join his undedicated session and he cant join mine why?

[silver jasper]

Hello so I’m playing in a non dedicated world with my brother and whenever I try to transfer to a different map (for example the island to scorched earth) I don’t have the option to upload items or transfer at all, all I can do is upload my character and go to scorched earth with nothing which is not what I want to do. Is there a way to fix this?

[bleak ivy]

you upload your items in ark data. singleplayer/non-dedi can't transfer like on servers.
once you are on the other map you go to an obelisk and grab your items.
make sure only the host uploads cryopods, eggs (shouldn't transfer eggs at all tho), and dinos (should always be in a cryopod unless it can't go in one)

[silver jasper]

Ah ok didn’t know that I couldn’t transfer with items on me but I couldn’t find out the upload thing at the obelisk it just let me put the items in the inventory then I went to scorched they weren’t in the other ob

Not sure if something has changed from evolved

[bleak ivy]

you need to change the tab to ark data. instead of inventory.

it hasn't changed.

[silver jasper]

Oh there wasn’t an ark data option which was weird

I’ll go look again

[bleak ivy]

hmm, its called inventory now tribute is the obelisk's inventory.
wonder if I'm remembering wrong or if its changed lol.

yeah, that part has changed. found an ASE image and it was ark data

[silver jasper]

Hmmm that’s weird cause when I put the items in the inventory section there was no timer

[bleak ivy]

singleplayer doesn't have a timer

[silver jasper]

It doesn’t have the 24 hour delete thing?

[bleak ivy]

no, doesn't make sense to

[silver jasper]

Ah ok

Yeah so I’m at the obelisk in scorched earth and the inventory section is empty

Oh this is also weird I went back to the island press spawn on bunk bed and it spawns me somewhere else and I’m apparently not in my own tribe anymore

[bleak ivy]

that happens sometimes on singleplayer/non-dedi. ghost tribes get removed so sometimes it removes when you upload.
it can also just be visual and a relog fixes it.

[silver jasper]

Hm yeah I left the new tribe it made me died then was able to spawn at my base only able to open doors and ride a few Dino’s

[bleak ivy]

TakeAllDino and TakeAllStructure to get the stuff back. or ForceJoinTribe if the tribe still exists

[silver jasper]

But the ob thing is still not working

[bleak ivy]

its working for me

you aren't switching to a dedicated right?

[silver jasper]

Its non dedicated

[bleak ivy]

should work exactly like singleplayer.

[silver jasper]

Is it a setting? I turned all the transfer settings off because it says do not allow transfers but maybe I read it wrong

[bleak ivy]

does singleplayer/non-dedi have access to those? or are you on windows(xbox/PC)

the No X downloads are off right?

[silver jasper]

I’m on Xbox

What are the x downloads?

[bleak ivy]

these ones.

I was using it as a blank

[silver jasper]

Oh yeah I have all of those

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure those are the only ones the SP menu has access to

[silver jasper]

Yeah I looked around too those were the only transfer settings I had and they are all off like in the picture

[bleak ivy]

see what happens if you start it as a singleplayer.

[silver jasper]

Ok I’ll be a min

[bleak ivy]

I just tried on xbox, its working for me

[silver jasper]

If I switch it on single player does that mean I can’t play with my brother?

I assume not

[bleak ivy]

its the same save. so you can just switch back if it works.

[silver jasper]

Oh ok

It puts the item in the inventory but it doesn’t do an upload

[bleak ivy]

no idea. everything in the inventory should be uploaded.

you just leave it there.

[silver jasper]

😭

Oh I got it to work I turned the setting on tested it and it said items can’t be transferred then turn the setting back off and it works

[bleak ivy]

lol.

ark be ark

[silver jasper]

Haha ty for all the help

[wheat jewel]

my friend is in a different region and gets different un dedicated sessions how do we use the same region
i cant join his undedicated session and he cant join mine why?

@bleak ivy can u help me?

[bleak ivy]

do you mean non-dedicated? you are on the same platform right? ASA should show everything you just need to search.

[wheat jewel]

hes on steam laptop im on pc

but hes in a different country than i am and we both get different non-dedicated servers

[bleak ivy]

steam or windows(microsoft store/gamepass). non-dedi isn't crossplay

[wheat jewel]

hes steam windows im also steam windows

[bleak ivy]

the list you get is random, you use the search to find things.

[wheat jewel]

hes windows 11 i dont think that makes a difference

[bleak ivy]

no, OS doesn't matter.

[wheat jewel]

yea we both searched the number "20" he got different non dedicated servers than my non dedicated servers

[bleak ivy]

use something more exact then 20. there is a limit to the amount shown, it'll still be random if there is more then that.

[wheat jewel]

when i made a non dedicated server he uses the exact name yet it didnt pop up for him

[bleak ivy]

try joining through steam, non-dedi can take a while to work properly through the server browser.

[wheat jewel]

you mean the friends filter?

[bleak ivy]

the friend's list on steam.

[wheat jewel]

wait wdym

[bleak ivy]

when you click on somebody on your friendslist there should be a join game button. pretty sure thats how non-dedi is supposed to work, and the reason why its not crossplatform.

[wheat jewel]

so rn i should host non dedi and my friend should boot up ark from joing me from steam?

[bleak ivy]

yeah, that should be how you join it.
non-dedi is known for connection issues tho so it won't always work. ASA has also been having more recently not sure if it was fixed.

[wheat jewel]

ill try it rn

[wheat jewel]

tysm it worked

[wise ferry]

[ionic dome]

i need help
anyone else's steam update asa and then go to download the full asa game again and wont let you play asa even though you alreadly have it downloaded then wont let you delete asa when you try to delete it to reinstal it? (im playing thru steam) i can provide screenshots of the matter. i have a friend where the same thign happened to him aswell.

[bleak ivy]

the first thing is just how steam patches ASA, it patches the entire game so 120~GB.
it'd be steam that is having those other issues as well, make sure its done and you didn't cancel it or something

[heavy jay]

hello all so i have an issue with players on my server not being able to unlock notes as if they are bugged is there a way i can unlock them for them with a command ?

[plain remnant]

Is there any way to change which wild orphaned babies can be imprinted on?

Like to apply the “orphaned gigantoraptor cannot be imprinted” to other dinos?

[tender charm]

anybody else know about this issue? anytime i try to imprint a creature, the thing only shows "tracking info" and never anything else no matter what creature i try it on. ive tried going through and removing some mods and it would stop but i just started removing 2 mods at a time and when it went away, i re added the mods that i removed but the problem didnt come back, so now i think its just ark itself...

[dense plaza]

So nobody knows why battle Eye has taken all of my memory on my computer ?? Interesting

[dense plaza]

And it seems my post has been deleted

[dense plaza]

Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall battle, eye without messing up my ark game

[plain remnant]

So the summon commands use blank_character_bp_c

But the .ini for spawnweight uses DinoNameTag=“blank”

the second of which doesn’t contain any of the bp_c stuff…

I’m confused, is the “dinonametag” just whatever the summon command says but without the extra?

[native wave]

they have specific names, and it's not always what you expect: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Creature_IDs

[plain remnant]

Thanks!

[tiny aspen]

Does anyone know how the wild Wyvern spawns in the World Scar on ASA Scorched Earth on a dedicated server can be improved?

The current spawns are abysmally low and I have already tried using the Game.ini to add more to the npc spawn containers as well as increase the spawn weight in the specific spawn containers but both options do not seem to work at all…

For reference: I’ve tried both ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer & DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers to no avail

[waxen hinge]

hey hey im playing on my server ark survival evolved and my hits seem like they do no damage but i hit the creatur and blood spreds everywere so what is the problem

[haughty badger]

Not sure if im missing something. When people that dont have a custom cosmetic downloaded they are not seeing it at all in game. I am using the official whitelist and have DoCustomCosmeticValidation=True in my GUS, but still no luck. I thought that with the recent changes people would still be able to view without having to exit the server and download.
What am i missing?

[wheat jewel]

is it possible for steam to join a non dedicated session with epic games?

[haughty nexus]

Is there a way to add spawns from the center and scorched earth onto the island? Like pyromane

[cyan trail]

Any recommendation for a good ‘server manager’ for ASA? I’m soon leaving Nitrado to set up my own cluster on a dedicated PC. Not a coder, so looking for something with a nice GUI to manage/tweak settings. There’s one that costs like $100 and a bunch that appear free..not sure where to start.

Nvm I got it to work

[jaunty vortex]

I’m using Brad’s ASAM.

unofficial cluster transfers often remove accounts, like they dont appear in the "download survivor" screen, but theyre in the cluster folder... how do i fix this?

[native wave]

make sure all servers involved can read and write to the shared cluster folder

i have no custom perms, so i donnt see how it couldnt

it works majority of the time.. its just randomly doesnt work sometimes and deletes the characters.

[pure haven]

the problem of wyverns in not that they spawning bad its that they despawn for some reason. if you restart server with forcerespawndino command line you will get your 20 of each wyverns but they will poof very soon so problem is not with a spawn. something make them despawn like crazy

so trying to increase their spawn not gonna do much

Hey!

I have set my server on my laptop following this video: [ ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server Setup | Host a FREE private server | Full Guide ] [ search it in youtube because link is not allowed ]

I successfully set up the server, I am seeing this message in the server log cmd window [server xxx has successfully started]

I have completed the port forwarding

Now I want to connect to this server from my PC,

but my server is not showing up on the unofficial servers.

So How to connect to this server,

NOTE: My laptop and PC are on the same network.

It would be great if I could just connect it to with local network, If not I don't mind connecting it via the internet.

[rain coyote]

so,..... noone knows?

People here able to help me out with my The Island cluster server?
I have 3 servers and the other two have around 7-11gb memory on startup and start up in 40sec.
My the island server since a week or 2 max suddenly spiked to 27gb on startup with no players on and it takes around 840sec!! to start up.

I have no idea what the reason is. They all have same mods+plugins. Of course the island server been around for some time but we do have decay active.

Also not sure how many wild dino's the island normally has. That could also be a cause for spike if that's bugged. 🤷‍♂️

[fiery jetty]

I play Singleplayer, i need to add "-OlympicColors" to something or its already on?

[austere rune]

what's the map name to use in the server start command for The Center in ASA? is it TheCenter_WP or just TheCenter?

[celest halo]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup has a list of the map names

[elfin forum]

Started a server today, hosted by nitrado. Can't find it in serverlist. All offical solutions from Nitrados guide were tested. Problem is still there. Can someone help? (Fyi it is not the first time starting a server but till now the guide always helps)

[rugged moth]

Can someone share the Loot box spawn command for The Center for Ascended? Or a link where I can find the list of commands

[grave shale]

hey all, can there be two colour parameters running at the same time on a server? ie, can i have -PrideColors and -OlympicColors and get a mix of both?

[glad flax]

I’m getting a memory leak on my center map. It has happened before and I believe it to be mod related. Since I run the same mods on the other maps on my cluster, I just disabled it until there was a mod update and then tried again.

I actually came in here to see if anyone else was reporting spikes of ram.

[hot sequoia]

Yall im having an issue and need help. Im trying to play ark ascended and it gets me all the way into the offical server screen. I click on the server I wanna join and it says I need to install the summer bash and says press x to install. So I press x let it load and it gets to 100% and kicks me out. Sometimes it goes back to the server screen and says it’s downloading summer bash then Kicks me out. Any ideas?

[glad flax]

Try uninstalling Summer Bash from the mod page. Then re-install it from the mod page.

I was having trouble at first and this fixed it for me. Hope it works for you.

[livid reef]

cannot ride on any flyers on center as of today. updated server and tried rolling save back to last known time riding flyers was allowed, tried removing mods and verifying files and i still cannot mount flyers. any other suggestions?

[austere rune]

i have 5 servers, 3 with official maps and 2 with mod maps. my 3 official maps are happily binding the port i set to ?Port in my start command and are running just fine, but the 2 mod map servers aren't binding any ports when i start them even with the ?Port parameter in the launch command. does anyone know what can cause this?

[slim tendon]

What mod is it you have a leak with? Since I use these mods on other clusters for quite a few month I didn't have any trouble with it.

[native wave]

you might try using -port= instead. I use nothing but that and have no issues. both should be valid but for some reason one or the other doesn't work properly. Don't know why...just how it is.

[austere rune]

my issue seems to relate to the mods. i don't see them in the mods folder on the server, like the server isn't downloading them. not sure why because the id is definitely on the -mods start parameter...

[native wave]

might try adding the mod map to the mod list of one of the servers that is actually running so it'll download it. then copy the files over to the mod map server and try to start it

[bleak ivy]

thought you were supposed to run the server on the island so it downloads the map then restart with the mod map

[willow crystal]

We are having problems with one of our The Island maps. All savegames are broken, instead of starting with our server name, all bases and co, the map only starts with “PVP” as name and with day 1. The savegame is still 460MB in size but does not seem to load.
The last working savegame is two days ago, every new save from this save on is automatically broken.

What can I do now?

[lunar cloud]

I've had a save game go corrupt like this without any mods..
Never rely on the incremental save games as you'll be forever at the mercy of Wildcards code.
Instead, create a backup script and copy + zip the files and send them to a backup hard drive or cloud storage

I dont think corrupt saves are recoverable unfortunately

[willow crystal]

We create backups twice a day apart from the normal saves, but these backups are also defective...

[lunar cloud]

ouch.. im actually considering rebooting my servers daily.. i think the only way you can detect it is booting up more often so the save is re-read and validated

the problem is when its corrupt, the autosave keeps writing the corrupt iterations back to file

and high server uptime makes it worse

[willow crystal]

we have a reboot every 24 hours... i think we need to shut down this map and move all the players to another map ...

[frigid vine]

Hrello. Is it possible that you somewhere upload your savegame and send me via DM a link to the archive? Would like to have a look.

[heady monolith]

Hi my servers been stuck in a restart loop could anyone help me fix it?

[uncut osprey]

I'm wondering this too... does it go in the .ini somewhere? lol

And if I still have Summer Bash active will it mess up or will I just get extra colors if I add in the Olympic ones?

[late estuary]

If it's Nitrado, go to their discord

[last magnet]

It goes into the startup parameters line

[uncut osprey]

For single player? I don't think I have that.

Ope never mind I think I misread lol.

[last magnet]

It can be set via Steam. I don't know how on consoles

Steam is Manage > Properties> launch properties. I have -preventHibernation -OlympicColors -EasterColors -PrideColors in mine

[late estuary]

Hello - I'm a server admin with an emergency. I just accidentally.killed one of my favorite dinos with the admin gun 😦 Is there ANYTHING I can do to revive this guy? He sadly did not drop death essence

Please anyone, his corpse hasn't decayed yet

Can I do anything with his sample number? 782823461

[hexed pine]

Server rollback is about the only thing I can think of.

[naive pilot]

question.. our previous server owner changed the spawn for unfertilitized egg and now our dinos drop eggs like crazy. were wanting to lower that cause now we have shadow drakes in the wild dropping an insane amount if eggs (about 155 eggs in one minute to be exact.. i tested it lol)

how to we reduce this amount? i looked in the game ini thingy and it says this

LayEggIntervalMultiplier=0

what do we need to do to make unfertilized egg laying slower?

[bleak ivy]

only steam and servers can use the launch options. consoles and windows don't have it. (not sure on epic for ASE)

[wide spire]

If we added Forglar to our cluster, would every member of the cluster need to purchase the map to use it? Or just the host? Thanks for the help!

[olive talon]

Everyone

[pulsar bay]

i wanna play on a non dedicated session with my friend but he is on steam and im on epic

can someone telll me how can i make a server like that

[cinder abyss]

He should’ve dropped a Dino soul in the death bag. Use an Oasisaur to revive 😊

[cinder abyss]

Changing the 0 to a 1 should put it back to the normal rate

[robust nymph]

Anyone know a destroyall code for weapons?
We have a mod tool that needs to be removed. Got the engram name/Blueprint name but need to know if there's a code to use with it.

[cinder abyss]

You need their engram pathway. I did this for JVH’s Redwood trees. In game.ini - OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName=“engram name_mod name?_C”, EngramHidden=true)

The Mod dev should have the info you need

[robust nymph]

We've done that already, but the ones on the map are still available. We're trying to get rid of them.@cinder abyss

I should have explained myself better.

We've removed with an ini, so that no more can be made, but that ini doesn't remove ones that people already have.

[olive talon]

I'm not entirely sure if this one will work, but you could attempt it
https://arkcheat.com/commands/destroy-actors

I've never used the command myself, but you could try going into like singleplayer and using the command first to see if it does work

[cinder abyss]

Is there a fix for Tekgrams locking every time I log back in? Have to keep mindwiping to get them back 😞

[olive talon]

Are you using commands to get the tek engrams?

[cinder abyss]

Nope, I did the bosses. I might try removing the Auto engrams mod and see if that helps

[olive talon]

You could join their discord and see if there's a current bug with it, but without doing that you can remove the mod and just use the vanilla unlock system if you're unsure

[pallid kestrel]

Items in inventories duplicating when transfer

anyone have a fix for this or know the cause?

[woeful umbra]

Can anyone help me set up a 5x annunaki on single player Xbox

[robust nymph]

Didn't work but thanks for the attempt

[olive talon]

Ah, sorry. That's the only command I could think of. Short of personally removing each item from everyone, I don't know what else you could do

[pallid kestrel]

nobody? 😦 I searched this discord and saw a few people asking the same question but it always goes unanswered

[olive talon]

Because it's an ingame bug, we can't fix it. File #bug-reports

[proud lotus]

I’m having some problems setting up my own ark server specifically with Stam drain, water train, food drain, and how much damage my character takes being way to much and dealing way to much, anybody know good settings?

[autumn orbit]

Guys can I play a world between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Pass (on a laptop but still Xbox platform). I want to have ark on my PlayStation for my girlfriend and then ark on my laptop for me and play a non dedicated session or something. Like LAN i guess

I jus don’t wanna install the giant game twice jus for it to not work

[willow crystal]

maybe, its 460mb i will see if i can send it

another question, can we remove summer bash mod without loss from anything?

[olive talon]

Nondedicated is not crossplay

[plain remnant]

Hey, is there any way to disable certain wild babies without turning all off?

[distant hearth]

no, its all off or all on , only setting we have

[uncut burrow]

is anyone having this issue where harvest rate multiplier is capped to 10x on singleplayer?

[bleak ivy]

a few of the settings seem to be capped on singleplayer, not sure why it was changed in ASA.

[tidal hazel]

Has anyone crashed with 15+ mods in xbox?

[lunar cloud]

i would expect crashes to happen with any number of mods

[lilac shell]

We Play ARK evolved. My friend and I want to play with each other, and wanted to ask if steam Players and Me (I downloaded ARK through the Xbox App on pc) can play with each other

[heavy bough]

Sorry to be late. I know my message won't help you with this particular dino, but in case it happens again with another dino : just target the corpse and use the command CryoMyTarget. It will cryo the corpse. Then, when you'll uncryo it, the dino will be well alive, but with only a few HP points. Cryo him again. Then uncryo him and let him heal. As surprising it is, it works to revive dinos as an admin, without any mod.

[uncut burrow]

is there no solution at all?

[olive talon]

No. ASE only has crossplay with Steam-Epic, and the two Microsoft versions.

[lilac shell]

alright thanks

[modern quarry]

will the summer bash mod still work even after the event is over

[frigid vine]

okay let me know

[native wave]

all event mods work after the event is over

Before I shutdown my server cluster (just me playing on it so not affecting anyone's ability to play) for my little break from the game, I was running Summer Bash with Winter Wonderland

[lilac shell]

me and my friend both play on steam ASE, but we arent able to see the same servers, any idea why that might happen?

[bleak ivy]

not that I know of, even editing from the ini doesn't work. you probably have to be on a dedicated server to have them higher.

[gilded copper]

i have my settings to have max wild dino level be 150, but suddenly there are now dinos over lvl 300 and 400s

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5
DifficultyOffset=1.0
This is what I have, so how are there dino's spawning at such high levels? (no they are not in caves)

[distant hearth]

do you have any mods on the server? those can effect dino levels

[gilded copper]

I do have mods, my server has been up for most of a month and this past day is the first im told about these high level dinos spawning

and they're not the mod dinos, theyre the base dinos

I did a dino wipe. Checking to see if any more high levels are still spawning.

[distant hearth]

if there spawning high level outside of caves, double check the ini for duplicates and give a list of mods, there are many that will cause higher levels to spawn

holy shit thats alot mods i dunno what half them do , do you even know ?
quick glance , spawn blocker, z-dino varinats , s- dino variants ,effect spawns an can produce higher lecvels

[gilded copper]

So far only higher levels spawning after the wipe are dinos in caves.

[distant hearth]

thats supposed to happen, how the game is coded

[gilded copper]

Yes, each mod has a purpose. Most are small download size. I have a RP server.

[distant hearth]

download size has nothing to do with how a mod effects the game

[gilded copper]

I know that part. Just the rex's i was told about were definitely not in caves lol

[gilded copper]

oh i know i was just defending my large amount of mods i have on my server LOL

could those dino mods affect the wild spawn levels of base game spawns? it wasnt any modded dinos that spawned that high leveled

Today is the first day i'm finding them at such high levels, and i've had these mods for weeks.

[distant hearth]

honestly i dont know, id have to read through each mods description on curseforge and see, im to lazy for that haha.
any mod that messes with spawns can have weird out comes, in my experience. More mods = more troubles so i tend to try an use minimum amount

[woeful umbra]

Anyone know why my world difficulty keeps reverting back to 1 when I put it on 5

[charred gull]

Is there a setting or mod that allows dinos to breed when offline/out of render. Cuz the seem to only breed while im near them

[jaunty vortex]

How many??? That would likely crash a console player.

[distant hearth]

there isnt a setting for it, unsure on asa mods , back in ase days u either used s plus hitching post or made pens that trapped dinos but allowed for them ro be set to wandering

[distant hearth]

seems its not crashing but yea, is kinda crazy imho lolz

[jaunty vortex]

Xbox app on windows at a guess. I’m thinking of those poor Series S players though.

[magic echo]

Players trying to get to artifact of the devourer now on ASA the island and cant move due to the lag caused from excessive onyc thats spawning in the cave. Is this a new glitch with a new update? Also seems like and the brute with meg's same issue

[late estuary]

That's amazing, thank you! I ended up realizing I had to harvest him to get the death essence, so I did that, spawn an Oasisaur, kept it fed and 24 hours later had my boy back lol

[zinc bloom]

Holy cow my server would be ripped apart

[distant hearth]

been an issue since release, if u dont have people running caves regular then dino wipe regularly to help

[neat wolf]

Hello

[zinc bloom]

Is it just me or things spawn on asa way faster than ase

Kill 3 icthyornis and 3 min later 4 pop back up

[charred gull]

It is indeed faster

[zinc bloom]

Yeah and they spawn inside your structures too, have a fully enclosed base and dodos moschops trikes paras keep spawning inside

[gilded copper]

I do have alot of mods, but its only about 10gb to download-i've seen servers with much more than that. Is that really alot? Most of the mods are not even 1 gb.

[zinc bloom]

Do you play on series s?

[gilded copper]

I do not, but I have players that do. Is it the amount of mods, or the total download size?

[charred gull]

The total download size i think

[zinc bloom]

my ark goes crazy whenever there are many assets in one place, tames, structures

There's always a mandatory crash leaving base and when entering

Same for caves

[zinc bloom]

Is there a setting to reduce spawn rates...?

[charred gull]

Idk

[zinc bloom]

Understandable have a great day

[charred gull]

I typically don’t have any problems so never looked into it. sorry

[zinc bloom]

Got a jacked pc innit

Us console players are having it bad

[distant hearth]

cheapish pc run it fine, i built mine out old secondhand parts , cost bout £600 in total

[distant hearth]

download size has no effect to what it does in game

[buoyant kelp]

Hello, I have an issue with my server. Suddenly, the maximum level for players changed from 105 to 100. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

[zinc bloom]

Nice

[distant hearth]

i got lucky, had some free time over winter so reasearched what parts were good value an how to put it together

[zinc bloom]

That's nice, i live im brazil so any pc is worth a fortune, 600 pounds is 5x times a brazilian real

30 k essentially

[distant hearth]

uk isnt cheap for parts for parts we pay like 2-3 x usa prices

[zinc bloom]

Damn

[distant hearth]

i spent alot time bidding on stuff on ebay a searchig for good deals , £280 of that budget was on a old 2080ti gpu

[zinc bloom]

What a quest

I just buy pre built 💀

[distant hearth]

yea it was frustating , yet fun

[magic echo]

I did a wild dino wipe with a restart and it did not seem to help do I actually have to do the dino wipe in game

[zinc bloom]

Like taming a carch

[distant hearth]

if ure on a shitrado server yes, there button to dino wipe doesnt seem work atm

look at a wild dino , run the command in game to ensure it worked

[zinc bloom]

I use nitrado, why is it shite?

[zinc bloom]

But i can confirm this works

[magic echo]

ok wonderful that is what I am using I know it does not seem to hold and I have to keep checking the box.

[distant hearth]

all i can say is, u will see over time. i had to use them for ase xbox servers for like 5-6 years, was always issues . main thing is customer support if u get an issue is awful

[zinc bloom]

There's a mod called dino tracker which, well, track dinos. You can open it to see if the dino count went to 0

[distant hearth]

yea its always a one time in there own settings

[zinc bloom]

Mhm i got charged twice to pay the rental and to this day no reply from them

[rustic ocean]

Thank

[zinc bloom]

The server works fineish tho

[distant hearth]

fingers crossed it continues that way 🙂

[charred gull]

Im on ps5

[distant hearth]

there is an in game command to show the dinos spawned on map , cant rem it off top my head though

[zinc bloom]

Runs fine, yeah?

[charred gull]

Yea

[zinc bloom]

Nice

The box series s struggles

App closes when multiple entities in a location

[charred gull]

Damn

[stone nest]

Hello, we’ve been getting a lot of ‘Server hitch’ issues. One said blood frenzy, another said stone pillar, etc etc… Is there something I need to do with the server to fix the hitches?

[untold iris]

have question im playing on pc i bought genesis season pass and i cant launch gen2 cuse it shows You dont own this dlc but in my dlcs it shows that i have it does anyone know soloution?

[jaunty vortex]

It’s not just space on disk. It’s the RAM needed to run the game and mod data.

Consoles tend to have about 16GB shared between graphics and operating system/game (Series S has 10GB).

Typical PCs would have 16GB of RAM just for the OS/game and a further 8GB or more dedicated for the graphics card.

[woeful umbra]

Anyone know why my world difficulty keeps reverting back to 1 when I put it on 5

[tepid berry]

That's normal. Change difficulty override instead of difficulty

[woeful umbra]

Ahh il have a look

[brave dew]

how can i play with my friend in epic games?

[analog oracle]

Did you ever figured this out my friend?

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=10, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
doesn't seem to be working under game.ini

[toxic hazel]

Try it without the space before the ignore multiplier bit

[analog oracle]

will try it now

[toxic hazel]

Other then that it looks exactly the same as mine which is working

[analog oracle]

Nope, still didn't work 😦

for wyvern milk specifically...

i havei it both under the shootergame section ingame.ini and tempoverride

for other consumables its fine, raw prime meat for example

but wyv milk won't

[toxic hazel]

Mines just in the Game.ini right at the bottom

Lemme get and paste it quick

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

[analog oracle]

yea its exactly the same except you changed it to 100

[toxic hazel]

Yeah haha

I've only got it in the one place, the Game.ini

[analog oracle]

i'll try it with 100... maybe it works lol

[toxic hazel]

Just checking but you are stopping the server then changing it right?

[analog oracle]

im testing on single player

[toxic hazel]

Ahhh, should still work maybe hahaha

[analog oracle]

yea it should as i could make it work with other items

but still, changing it to a 100 still didnt work, i coppied pasted exactly like yours

[toxic hazel]

Maybe fully close game and change if not doing that?

Other then that not really sure maduude

[analog oracle]

yea its all good, ty for trying though

[shell cove]

Hello I am wondering if it is possible to get help for the settings in my server in ASE, but it is not a non dedicated server?

[humble thicket]

hey is dathost a good website to buy a server

[craggy tulip]

Does anyone know where you can set up in single player that you can set up Tke cannon and heavy cannon Max limit is 100 would have to increase to 600 for ark survival ascended

[tough oracle]

Idk if this is the place to ask this but I would like advice, I want to host my own server so I can make it how I want it. I have a gaming pc but that prolly won’t be able to host and play right? Would a gaming pc be able to host and play all the ark maps with maybe 3-4 ppl on it at a time? If so would I have to leave it on 24/7? If the power goes out do I lose my servers and stuff?

If not do I need a server pc and then play from my laptop and Xbox?

Trying to be as cheap and budget friendly as possible while also being able to upgrade/handle ark ascended

Any input would be very appreciated!!

Regarding pcs, it’ll be prebuilt cause I have no knowledge of building a pc yet

[jaunty vortex]

Anything quad core or above , 16GB RAM and a 500GB SSSD will run a server. Built in graphics would be good enough.

[elfin folio]

hi all. working on setting up an ASA server on Ubuntu 22.04. I'm an experienced sysadmin/network guy, but not familiar with ark. my son wants to try a local server. going through the docker compose, I'm not quite sure how to handle the different subnets situation. all my servers are on a diff vlan and subnet than the wifi network my kids would be connecting. i know in servers like plex you can set what subnets are 'local', wondering if you can do that her?

[toxic hazel]

Run mine on a optiplex 5050, the i7 one and runs asa servers fine, just put more ram in mine. Can pick one up about £100

[gloomy trellis]

Known Bug? Any who why the gigantic raptor plucking feather shows a ridiculous amount of days to pluck again? I believe it changed after a server transfer. Just curious if it’s a known bug and is there a fix?

[spark arch]

I've tried setting ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity to prevent DungBeetle's inventory from filling up with Pyromane shit, but other shit stacks with the specified number of items, but not this one.
I think the class is PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopMedium_OnFire_C, anyone know how?

Stacks.
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString='PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopSmall_C',Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString='PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopMedium_C',Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString='PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopLarge_C',Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString='PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopMassive_C',Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Not stacked
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString='PrimalItemConsumable_DinoPoopMedium_OnFire_C',Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=500, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[vocal chasm]

any1 know the fix for "cant connect to xbox live"
windows 10

[haughty cairn]

Does anyone know if ASA has same settings for max dino levels as ASE, as in the highest it can reach before you can't add anymore from breeding/leveling etc?

[bleak ivy]

officials has level 450 as the max.
unofficials set their own. (there isn't a default)
if you mean the game's itself max, I imagine its higher since mutations and wild are different now.

the settings should all be the same

[cinder abyss]

Does anyone know the Nanoh’s Ascended Accessory Admin Config Remote spawn command for PS5? I’ve tried what it says on the mod description but no successful

[haughty cairn]

so if we didn't we one on our unof, there won't be one?

[bleak ivy]

there will be the game's true cap but doubt you'd need to worry about that unless you are playing 20 difficulty or something.

[haughty cairn]

No worries, thanks for responding 😊 our players were asking, and we didn't have a clue 😂

[last magnet]

I think it's 88 levels for dinos once tamed

I have a maxed Theri and I had to do a mind wipe bc I changed stat multipliers and she only had 88 levels to add

[bleak ivy]

yes, dinos get 88 player inputted levels

[patent drum]

We have configured a reward store to our cluster using GSA. Anyone who has an idea of what command we can use to spawn a tamed and spayed tame in a cryopod to the player? We've managed to generate items but not tames.

[humble thicket]

Is there an issue with the engrams? That might've been caused by the recent server update by wildcard? Because all primal chaos engrams is now 999 on my server and I didn't do anything but to restart it earlier to update. Tried redeploying the ini on beacon and still nothing. Any idea on how to fix this? Thank you

[olive talon]

I know one of the cryopod mods allows it and there are probably plugins for it, but I don't know of a vanilla way

[humble thicket]

Is it possible to run a server from another computer in my home and still play ark ASA (not from the same server computer but from a different computer) on the same steam account?

[distant hearth]

you can make a server on one pc using stmcmd , then use the other pc with steam account on to play on that serbver

[humble thicket]

I don't need 2 steam accounts?

[distant hearth]

no , not if uyou use stm cmd , i will dm u a guide i wrote, its a lil complicated but easy enough if u can read ok an follow the instrunctions

[humble thicket]

Thank you so much, i really appreciate it. Also, are the players tethered to the host in this scenerio?

[distant hearth]

no

[humble thicket]

awesome

[distant hearth]

the pc the server runs on works like a dedicated machine, so aslong as its running and connected to internet, can join an play like any server thats rented

[sour ice]

How do i play with pc and PS5.? Do i have to buy a server.?

[robust nymph]

Any fixes for the demo timer resetting all the time yet?

[deep flower]

characters on my unofficial server are constantly getting unpaired from the user and makes them create a new one. anyone else having this problem?

[chilly coral]

hi i need some advice

my nitrado server center is in a restart loop but the most recent back up for it is 15 hours past which is unusual? usually saves every few hours.

i went through the database and tried all my options there for today but all of them caused an infinite restart (where it wouldnt go live at all and wouldnt shut down). i did get force shut down to work.

im not sure what to do besides do manual back ups and not automatic restarts for it anymore. this is the second time in a week but none of my other servers are giving me issues.

how can i prevent the restart loop and is doing manual back ups my only solution?

[clear pebble]

Is there a dev or someone who might be able to give me some information on what the CRC formula is for the Custom Cosmetic validation thru steams command?

[bold skiff]

This has happened to a cluster I'm playing on too for Center, I think WC messed something up

[bold skiff]

Fixed when @zealous aurora ?😔

Haven't been able to play a Center server for almost a week

[lunar cloud]

server going into restart loop almost always a mod issue causing startup crash

[pseudo glade]

This is a constant issue. Best thing to do it restore backups on a test server and allow them to bring there toon back over

Come on update

Get to unofficial servers already

[vital linden]

steamdb shows new build finally.

[brittle viper]

So is the patch making it difficult for psn players to join friends servers? My two friends are in the unofficial server they own but they are on pc and Xbox and I can’t seem to find their server which is password protected. I have the boxes checked like I’m supposed too but it just won’t show their three servers

[lunar cloud]

maybe linked
#announcements message

[honest meadow]

My unofficial server isn't showing up either. I'm on pc. But the server is crossplay enabled. Is that why?

[native wave]

took a while for mine to show up on battlemetrics (longer than usual I think), but they all came up before I took them offline again

[dreamy pebble]

My cross play server is up still. Will it just go down when the update finally goes through for xbox?

[trim yew]

steam server is updating for me

[native wave]

if your cross play server hasn't gone down for the update, that means it has no update script to auto-update. The server files have already been released. If you don't update the server you can continue to play on it until you update either the server or your client

[broken halo]

So has patch hit steam then ?

[lunar cloud]

yup, 51.3 available and working

[native wave]

all my cluster servers got updated and started up fine

[broken halo]

Thanks guys I been on descendants so didn't do my usually routine 😅

[foggy lichen]

I’m having this exact same problem- glad I’m not alone and no fixes that I found

[grim hamlet]

when trasnsferring between maps?

[deep flower]

Nope just randomly. Could happen to someone who hasn't transferred maps in weeks. Server restarts or updates don't seem to cause it either.

[grim hamlet]

i had the same issue when transferring from maps.
"dying" fixed the issue for most accounts.(dying and respawning saved their files properly)
the other accounts with the issue, it seemed their save file was a little corrupt and they had 2 profiles in 1 (eg. same character, tribe, etc, but different stats).
the fix for those were deleting their save file, creating a new character and force levelling/tribe join/ownership etc.
hopefully that gives u some ideas

[sharp meteor]

is anyone having any issue updating club ark on there unofficial cluster?

[wanton glen]

Our club ark and PC only maps updated fine it is our 6 crossplay maps that are screwed up

[sharp meteor]

do u have a cluster through steamcmd? for some reason whenever a club ark update comes out my server just constantly tries to update the mod by reinstalling it even if its already updated in some never ending loop

it always says 'mod requires upgrade/downgrade' everytime in the start up notes can never fix it

[brave aspen]

Yes unfortunately it is a nitrado issue I helped build a server that has the same issue and that’s the only way we could seem to get it to work properly

[robust nymph]

Its frustrating. It started when wildcard messed with decays a few weeks back and now have completely ignore that they've messed stuff up. Heaps of people have written about it, but I'm yet to see it acknowledged

[quaint tinsel]

is there a way to increase the quality of the club ark pulls?

[sharp meteor]

Yo does anyone have any experience with 'Ark server Creation Tool'? And can tell me if it's any good or not?

[toxic hazel]

No but I use ASADM which is a server manager that i think it pretty decent

[heavy bough]

Hi guys, I noticed that since today, official servers don't require the mod Summer Bash anymore, so I guess it's in the core game now ? I suppose we can remove it safely from our unofficial servers ?

[red prawn]

Yes

[sharp meteor]

Is there any tutorials on how to set up ASADM?

[toxic hazel]

I'll send dm to discord, May help out

[sharp meteor]

Cheers appreciate it

[bold skiff]

It's happening to all Clusters I've played on that run on a XBSX

And they've all said it's a WC issue related to RAM or something

[lunar cloud]

mods usually break servers 99% of the time and prevents it to start properly. You can look at .crashstack files in the log folder
If you are running out of memory (self hosting) then you need to either add more memory \ add vram \ reduce load on memory
If you are using Nitrado and running out of memory , you need to contact their support
not aware of any WC issue related to memory and problem is likely the greedy Nitrado hosting company giving you little RAM to run on.

[bold skiff]

Is this fix for it constantly crashing though? Cos that's not really what's happening anymore. You can join the server but it's at a constant 1k+ ping

[lunar cloud]

if you're using nitrado and its going into a loop, you can contact their support if their infrastructure is the cause
If their memory is running out it will crash and start again etc.
If a mod is causing the crash, it will do the same.
If its a mod , you could restore your server to a "copy" and remove 1 mod at a time until it eventually starts and you can locate the troublesome mod. Its a pain though

[heavy jay]

How does club ark work for unofficial is it mod or do I need to set up a whole extra server for it I'm a bit confused?

[bold skiff]

I'm saying it's not in a loop though. It's just at a constant 1k+ ping but joinable. Every other map on the cluster is fine, it's just Center

[lunar cloud]

the center is quite resource intensive when i compare it to my other instances. Ive seen a similar complaint here before about Nitrado and the center and they opened a ticket and apparently Nitrado had to do a backend tweak to add memory or something. Might be worth to open a ticket with them

[bold skiff]

Ok I'll look into it, thank you fore the help

[lunar cloud]

The 1k ping also indicates to me the server has load issues

[jaunty vortex]

Whole new server with a different map and it is a mod.

[willow crystal]

we want to end the summer bash event, is it save to remove the summer bash mod or will it delete items?

[olive talon]

I haven't heard about it being integrated into the base game yet, so I would leave it on until a community crunch or post in the #announcements lets you know it's safe to do so

[willow crystal]

ok thanks...

[spare brook]

that summer-bash splash screen is a mortal offense to your senses 😄

[olive talon]

It's a little loud XD

[cloud notch]

Is there a way to stagger servers booting up?

[grim hamlet]

i removed summerbash about a week or 2 ago. pretty sure they said its good

havent had any issues with it removed

and nomore "SUMMER BASH"

just had a suss, i removed it when they said summerbash has ended

[heavy bough]

Since latest patch a few hours ago, the Summer Bash mod is not required on official servers anymore, so it's a strong indication that its content has been integrated into the base game. Devs just forgot to mention it in the patch notes.

[olive talon]

Thank you 😊

[toxic hazel]

You still got the summer bash cosmetics?

[swift goblet]

All my maps on my cluster, steam CMD, won't launch properly. I've uninstalled all mods except for Pelayori's Cryo Storage. Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall the mod without losing everyone's stored Dino's?

[grim hamlet]

all the chibis and costumes if thats what ur meaning yes

except i cant confirm the bbq/weapon skins. nobody ever tried them/bought them

[toxic hazel]

Nice! If you still got them after emving it's defo integrated, thanks!

[olive talon]

Smol update regarding Garuga's Ark Additions modded content

[lunar beacon]

Can some one help me to get the weight on my server up

[tepid berry]

Anyone else running a cluster having any kinds of issues with .arkprofiles and .profilebak disappearing completely for players? It's like the ARK server is just up and deleting them entirely. Doesn't happen often, but it's really annoying. Sometimes it happens when they are xferring between the cluster, other times it's just after I've rebooted (even though I'm doing a proper DoExit)

[distant hearth]

alot people have the same issues its common on asa , you can looking into the alternate save format but that cud be troublesome too so reseach an see if u want to go that route .
it involves using -converttostore -usestore and -BackupTransferPlayerDatas

What this does is change the save format and combine .arkprofile with the world save .ark
in testing this has proved to help with the issue you describe

just be aware if u decide to use it , backup all data first seperately to avoid any issues shud they occur

[tepid berry]

Thanks @distant hearth - I'll look a little more into those.

[distant hearth]

i use it with no issues but is only so much testing i can do with just me on a test server , i know a few others are using no issues too

[tepid berry]

Can you run it on 1 server, but not others in the cluster? Or does that make them incompatible?

[distant hearth]

no it wud have to be all or none

[tepid berry]

That's what I figured.

[distant hearth]

becuase u basically wont have .arkprofiles any more

u run -coverttostore and -usestore on the first startup , then after that u no longer need the -converttostore

[tepid berry]

Hmm - and if someone loses a character and I'm using -usestore? What are my options for restoring the character?

[distant hearth]

with backuptransferplayerdatas u wud have to figure out which id then put it back in the cluster save folder for the map they transfered too and hope they can spawn in.
ive not tested that part yet though , as not had chance, but i can say i tried very hard to break transfers using that save method an it worked fine everytime

[tepid berry]

Alright, well - guess I'll play with that in a duplicate VM and see how it all works.

Thanks again!

[distant hearth]

yea , if u do use it please tag me an let me know how goes, ive told like a dozen people so far over a few months but only one person gave feedback, they have no issues using it

[tepid berry]

Wiki says this is the default save method for official servers, but unofficials use the broken ish? ffs wildcard.

[distant hearth]

yea im not really sure, i got the info from one the devs when i asked if they knew about the issue , then looked more at it on the wiki

i presume they dont give out the info as nitrado users cant do it , an they make up the bulk of un officals

[flat flume]

We’re having battleye issues on ARK Evolved unofficial servers (not ascended)

Everyones getting query timeouts on unofficials @proven prawn @zealous aurora @stark warren

Happening on all unofficial servers

[olive talon]

It's happening on all games with battleye

[flat flume]

Okay good to know

[jaunty vortex]

Can confirm. No issues after 4 months but I’ve only been going between club Ark and the island.

[sweet portal]

Hey can someone gel me with ASA Its still crashing

[wanton glen]

@anyone running steam CMD as a dedicated cluster we finally got our up and running our issue was the Net Projectile mod just to let anyone know that might be having issues

[icy kettle]

I get inventory timeout when trying to download crypodded dinos that got reward from Club Ark onto my server. All other items download fine. Just cryopod dinos keep timeing out

[silent crane]

Is anyone else having an issue of people getting kicked from Battle Eye on their servers?

[queen bluff]

The admin of the unofficial I play on said they're holding off adding Club Ark to the cluster, because they heard there are exploits. How true is that? Is it a big problem?

[brave fossil]

Hi could anyone provide assistance on getting Custom Cosmetics to work on nitrado, I can't download them from the mod section, they just don't appear and I'm all out of ideas

[tepid berry]

Pyro bag bug back for others? Just had a user complain they podded their pyro and bag lasted almost no time at all.

[spark arch]

Custom Cosmetics are not server installations, but individual local installations by the player.

[brave fossil]

And how is this done?

[grave shale]

heya, this might be a me issue but has anyone been having problems with their servers having random ping spikes? im hosting from my own computer (not the one i play on) and it hasn't had issues up until the update released yesterday

[bleak ivy]

you on the game install the mod and then join the server. unofficials do either need to whitelist specific ones, open to all of them or use the official list https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mod:Custom_cosmetics.
there is also dynamic downloads which is tied to the whitelist system, which again needs to be set up (and maintained) by the server owner

default is the official list btw.

oh, once its installed. sometimes they require a restart of the game. when in game there is a custom cosmetics button next to the transfer all arrow.

[quartz ocean]

can anyone help with portforwading ive done every step and configured the firewall but my server is not working

i can only connect from lan

[grave shale]

hey again, turns out my dedicated server is using 10 gigs of memory which it shouldn’t be usually it’s a lot lower, and i don’t know why this is happening all of a sudden

any advice would be appreciated

[bleak ivy]

what map? any mods?

[grave shale]

the island, i have greenhouse glass fix, cyrus critters gecko, pull it, and summer bash

only me and one other person play on it

[bleak ivy]

10gigs isn't unheard of on the island

[grave shale]

yikes okay 😬 its just been a lot of rubberbanding and issues today which it usually doesnt have a problem with

[bleak ivy]

yeah, how long has it been running?

[grave shale]

maybe itll settle on its own 🙏 i just restarted it this morning i usually turn it off every night

[bleak ivy]

that can happen too sometimes its just spikes for no reason. PC could be doing something as well.

[lunar beacon]

Can someone help me why is my server keeps restarting

[dim oar]

After setting up a second server in a cluster I transferred to scorched with all my items but when going back to the main server all the items in my inventory disappeared, had to relog like 4 times for them to show again, thought I lost my big bug friend, anyone else have this issue before?

[heavy jay]

@lunar beacon a mod probably still needs to get updated usually fixed within a day or two

Anyone use any of the shop mods that they recommend one I have one set up on gsa but new players don't really like having to make accounts and the orders don't always go through

[uncut burrow]

are settings still capped on sngleplayer?

[proud tulip]

Can anyone help me, i wanna play on US servers but my ARK is on EU servers. How can i change that?

[keen vector]

hey. players are not gaining exp after level 50 on my server. Beacon says that "Ascension is Required" after level 50 - is there any way to change this?

[sharp vessel]

Hello !
There is an issue with the game or CurseForge at the moment ?

My servers timed out, I tried to reboot them, they crashed with "server unreacheable", reboot properly but keeps timed out

Welp, I checked all the possibilities for now, on 4 servers, only one is up, the one with less mods.
So I'm assuming, there is a problem with one of my mod, I can't confirm but it can be a CurseForge issue, a mod update but not available for servers or just a problem with the game

Because nothing changed, my servers were working 1 hour ago

Okey, now, my servers are starting properly but unable to connect to it

I'm going crazy between these errors and problems

There's no reason my servers will have problem, nothing changed between now and 1 hour ago, I think, there's a problem with one mod specifically

And now it's working, WTF

I'm gonna go crazy, send me medical reinforcement, I think I really need it, 8 years with ARK and I'm always surprised how it's possible to broke the game some hours and come back without noticing it.
Now, I'm dealing with these problems between ARK and CurseForge xD

And now, it's not working again xD

Okey, I now why, that's not the game, that's not CurseForge, that's not a mod, that's OVH (My machine host)

[pliant acorn]

Good evening everyone. Is it possible that the decay timer is still not working? On our server the timer resets after every restart. Or was there a separate command for the command line?

[humble thicket]

Has anyone experienced bald characters on SteamCMD?

[tepid berry]

Perfectly normal. It will go down over time as the server puts certain things into stasis.

[plucky heart]

Anyone know why transfers of items don't work for club ark on our cluster? My players can't take their loot back with them anymore

[jaunty vortex]

Is the cluster ID still the same?

[plucky heart]

Yes it is and all transfers are open. The bank vault and everything are even missing

[tepid berry]

@plucky heart If you see the items in your inventory on ClubARK, then it's already in the 'uploaded' inventory. for that character. Are they getting a downloads not allowed when trying to download them?

[plucky heart]

The ark data inventory is empty

Before the bank vaults went missing though it did give the downloads not allowed message though. They poofed with the Summer Bash update

[chilly coral]

how do you ban a player from your personal server who is not online? we found players breaking the rules severely and admin panel option is broken at this moment

[plucky heart]

They should be in your player control in the Nitrado webface for the server

[chilly coral]

that only works if they are online 😦

[grave shale]

whats up with the rubbanding all of a sudden ? i get teleported back then stuck in one spot like im glitched on something

[tepid berry]

There are so many things that can cause that. Client-side skins for floor tiles, for example - now that the clients are downloading them can cause rubberbanding for example.

[grave shale]

thank you for the info, i restarted the pc hosting my server and it seems to have resolved it

spoke too soon 🤷‍♀️ seems to have reduced it i guess

[thin wagon]

Anyone using dynamic config with Nitrado?

[bleak ivy]

if you are walking through a skinned door, they are often not synced with the auto-open feature.

[jovial fossil]

Anyone know why I can’t join unofficial servers on ase? I’m on pc trying to play windows ark

[bleak ivy]

#1110925695900713072

[jovial fossil]

I need help not a server ?

[bleak ivy]

oh, any server or just a specific one?

sorry

[jovial fossil]

Any

[bleak ivy]

are you crashing or just DCing or can't see them

[jovial fossil]

I can join single player and player dedicated but when I try to join a unofficial it says “joining failed could not retrieve address”

@bleak ivy

[bleak ivy]

could be just internet issues. thats just a "can't connect" error, could be anything.
are they modded?

[jovial fossil]

It’s ark evolved

Popular server and I have pretty good internet

[bleak ivy]

evolved has mods on steam.

[jovial fossil]

It’s windows/xbox version

[bleak ivy]

ah, you have the wrong role.

[royal fulcrum]

Anyone else having issues getting into the game? My tribe mates keep trying to get in but just keep getting ark game servers aren’t available for any server even official ones we are all in different parts of the USA and don’t have the same internet provider or anything

[jovial fossil]

Ahh

[bleak ivy]

make sure Playstation only isn't checked.

[jovial fossil]

I’m on pc but play windows ark just can’t join any Servers other than single player or player dedicated

[bleak ivy]

the PC role means steam/epic. windows ark is xbox/win10

[jovial fossil]

Ahh gotcha

Anything I can do to fix?

Like so I can play the game

[royal fulcrum]

We did make sure that’s also why we tried to get into official servers just to see but it just keeps saying game servers aren’t available. We were trying to get into the server I have and it’s not even showing up anywhere the list of servers just say 0

[bleak ivy]

make sure you updated, make sure set the filter to all maps and both PvE/PvP, etc.
if it shows no servers at all something is wrong on the client side or the game just updated

[jovial fossil]

?

[royal fulcrum]

Okay thank you that’s kinda what I figured I haven’t heard of any new update since yesterday and we all did the update it’s just so weird

[bleak ivy]

no idea, windows doesn't have that many troubleshoot options.
could try the reset button in games and apps, if you host a dedicated server on the client it'll wipe it tho, SP will be fine as the cloud has it.

[tepid berry]

This is a support channel for setting up unofficial servers; you may get better help in a different channel; maybe #bobs-with-probs for example.

[grave shale]

i dont have any custom cosmetics or skins unfortunately

except for greenhouse glass fix but ive had that forever and it's a mod

[pliant acorn]

Does anyone have an idea how to fix the decay timer? on our server it resets the timer after every server restart

[feral ibex]

Doing the same for me all of a sudden

Anyone willing to chat with me about a restart loop I’m stuck in. 11 maps in total but just this 1 I can’t sort out and have tried everything I usually do

It says in my log files ‘sql database is corrupt and the save game is compromised’

[feral herald]

anyone know what the official add per level on health and damage is? i just tamed a rex and it seems op for its level

[floral jasper]

not letting
anyone poo in my non dedicated server anyone know why?

[tame needle]

How to i raise and lower the spawn rate of dinos, and why do my dinos do like 500 dmg but wild ones do like 20 is there a way to fix that too?

[late matrix]

is anyone else having issues getting the dinos won in Club Ark to be allowed to to be downloaded to the map? I keep getting a "retrieving Ark Data Failed" Error when anyone try to get the tames they won in to the cluster

[wise kindle]

Yep. Been like that since launch. No idea why.

It would be amazing if they would fix that and also make the difficulty settings actually affect the level of dinos distributed.
On a max 300 server, getting a max 150 dino as a prize kinda sucks.
Nitrado opened up the setting so we can apply it but it appears to not actually affect the levels. (And I know this because with overridedifficulty=10 my players shouldnt be getting a level 5 dino.)

[stiff hinge]

im trying to make my ark ascended server fibercraft but i cannot find the correct coding is anyone able to help

[vital perch]

Anyone know why when i set my player level to 300 max it caps me at 155 instead of 205 before ascension? I need a fix for this its super annoying

[prime abyss]

I dont believe there is a way to increase your player level in ASA are you on ASE? @vital perch

[native wave]

no way to increase without a mod

and no, I don't know a mod that does that

[trim yew]

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

[feral herald]

i just tamed a rex and it was lvl 130, but it seems a bit to strong for the level, i also have a problem that when i level him up for exemple in melee and health it goes up very much. can anyone help me?

[trim yew]

trying out stack mods on my server for ASE, so far 3 I've tried are giving me issues, 2 of them wont allow me to unlock a few main engrams, and the other one makes those engrams I couldn't unlock not visible to craft inside the table. anyone using a stack mod on their servers that don't seem to have these issues?

[distant hearth]

code it manually

[solemn zephyr]

Stack mods are pointless and cause many issues. Just set your stacks via the ini

[trim yew]

lol, i see fair enough...

[distant hearth]

if its on a server then ure game ini likely has code for perlevel stats mutipliers

[solemn zephyr]

Highly suggest never using a mod for something you can do via ini

[trim yew]

tbh i didnt know it could be done there... didnt look that far as the first time i came across a stack mod was in ASA lol, never looked into it before. but thanks for the info 🙂

[solemn zephyr]

NP, highly recommend the program Beacon. Info is in the pinned messages and will make your life so much easier

[distant hearth]

the info can be found if you dig around google, i prefer to use beacon omni app for it, makes it easy but you do have to pay i believe for that part

[trim yew]

i have beacon downloaded, used it a few times in the past

[modern quarry]

how do you update mods on steamcmd

[distant hearth]

i normally set the global stack size, then add extra code for the few things that doesnt effect

also adding code to allow p;layers and dinos to have more weight per level to accomodate the bigger stacks

[distant hearth]

each time server restarts it will check for and download any mods or updates

[chilly coral]

now another one of my maps is in a restart loop. this is so annoying. any idea if theres any known mods causing restart loops?

ive hadded 5 in the last month, 3 in the last week.

one of the 3 ive removed as of last night since it didnt work as intended

[distant hearth]

none i know of specifically but any mod can cause it , along with a load other things , asa likes corrupting data for fun

[chilly coral]

its a different map everyday all of a sudden and im pulling my hair out lol

[distant hearth]

there updating the game so often, if u have alot mods is just ineveitable, i consider more than 5 too many and over 10 just asking for trouble atm till its more stable

[chilly coral]

yeah i know 😦

[distant hearth]

its a nitrado thing mostly, self host servers seem to get alot less issue , i suspect they cram too many server instances onto one machine

[solemn zephyr]

Check your log files > shooter game and see the bottom line. Do you have an sql corruption? If so it's an easy fix with no rollback

[vital perch]

Asa

[wise kindle]

155 is max on ASA, no way around it without a mod... if one exists that does that.

[prime abyss]

Yes there isnt a mod yet that changes player levels and the INI changes do not work

[prime abyss]

you can just do your ascensions and get max 155 atm

[feral herald]

its on singleplayer

[vital perch]

Its that without doing the ascensions i haven't run them yet so im not sure if itll add more after or not

[prime abyss]

u can do commands to ascend on another map to test

[distant hearth]

try #bobs-with-probs im not familar with single player settings, so more likely get help there, id bet you changed some settings thats made it that way

[feral herald]

ok, thank you

[hexed sparrow]

Anyone know how to set up for bosses to rarely spawn in the overworld? Wanted a more fun dangerous threat to roam around the map sometimes? Not sure if it's a mod or an ini setting

[distant hearth]

prob easiest to find a mod for that, i imagine it be a nightmare coding into the ini

[prime abyss]

Theres a mod for bosses to spawn naturally

and it has an ini to change the spawn chance

[ember belfry]

when will nitrado servers get v51.9?

[jaunty vortex]

They’ve only given it to official. Unofficial Nitrado and unofficial “the rest of us” are still waiting. They may not give it to us.

[ember belfry]

thankyou, no one in nitrado server could give me an answer

[jaunty vortex]

you can always check the steam DB to see the release state

#unofficial-setup-help message

[ember belfry]

would you have a link?

[jaunty vortex]

just posted

[ember belfry]

thanks got it now

it says puplic - 4 hours ago, does that mean it became public and just waiting on nitrado at this point?

[jaunty vortex]

you're looking at Client, not Server. Public Server was last updated 3 days ago

[brave fossil]

Thanks for the help

[quartz flower]

is summber bash merged into full game yet?

[jaunty vortex]

questionable. Not seen anything in the release notes to say it is

[toxic hazel]

Yeah it is all good to remove, I did and stilll got me stuff

[dusk belfry]

So I'm about to transfer back to the island from scorched. I created a backup on my pc using Filezilla. I just have to upload that save and change the map to the island correct? And do I have to select all the mods again for that map? I'm super nervous lol

Or if I change the map to the island will it have my old save already?

[lunar cloud]

I would personally use a safer approach and just spin up a new server for the island. then restore your island to it, add it to your scorched as a cluster , then in-game transfer your character and things over using obelist\transmitter, then take a backup of your scrorched map (final backup), then download your scorched backup data and keep it somewhere safe. Log into Island make sure all is cozy, Then shut down scorched.

[rich heart]

I am looking to set up a server/ maybe a cluster for me and my six friends. We all play on Xbox/ Xbox app on windows so I know we may have less options. Anyone know a hosting service or tips for getting something like this set up?

[olive talon]

Nitrado is your only option for ASE.

On ASA, the only official one is Nitrado also, and some Nitrado owned companies like Apex, but you can host one from a pc if you have the extra hardware and enable crossplay.

[bleak ivy]

ASE xbox/windows can also host from another device/client but it won't be a proper cluster but with the ascend command you can still transfer between maps

[rich heart]

We would be on ASE. I have heard less than stellar reviews of Nitrado. Are those valid/ what grievances do people have with it?

If we were to use a spare device to host what specs would it need?

[bleak ivy]

for 7 people a decent PC I imagine. its mostly ram and a CPU tho.

[olive talon]

Nitrado is the only rentable host for Microsoft on ASE

[livid reef]

if i understand it correctly: for customizing beacon loot, each beacon variant gets it's own override. right?

[trim yew]

pretty sure you would have to do each lvl beacon if you wanted to modify all of the beacons

most of my knowledge comes from the wiki.gg for most of my games lol and trial and error too 😛

ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems=(SupplyCrateClassString="SupplyCrate_Level03_C",MinItemSets=1.000000,MaxItemSets=1.000000,NumItemSetsPower=1.000000,bSetsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,bAppendItemSets=True,ItemSets=((SetName="Cliffans_Backpacks",MinNumItems=1.000000,MaxNumItems=1.000000,NumItemsPower=1.000000,SetWeight=1.000000,bItemsRandomWithoutReplacement=True,ItemEntries=((ItemEntryName="Backpacks",EntryWeight=1.000000,MinQuantity=1.000000,MaxQuantity=1.000000,MinQuality=1.000000,MaxQuality=1.000000,bForceBlueprint=False,ChanceToBeBlueprintOverride=0.000000,ItemClassStrings=("PrimalItem_BasketBackpackTier1_C","PrimalItem_MountainBackpackTier1_C","PrimalItem_SatchelBackpackTier1_C","PrimalItem_TravelBackpackTier1_C","PrimalItem_TravelBackpackLanternTier1_C","PrimalItem_BackPouchTier1_C","PrimalItem_FestiveBackpackTier1_C","PrimalItem_ScrollBackpackTier1_C",),ItemsWeights=(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0))))))

what am i doing wrong?

[livid reef]

thus far i haven't found the item nor it's bp in a white drop. i've also tried setting bAppendItemSets to false to force a drop to the set items but when i render the beacon, the server removes the beacon (sign that the override failed)

i've also tried EngramEntry vs PrimalItem

How to i raise and lower the spawn rate of dinos, and why do my dinos do like 500 dmg but wild ones do like 20 is there a way to fix that too? And all my wild dinos are like lvl 6 to 9 on average highest I've seen is 52

[charred orbit]

ur settings

[tame needle]

But what do I do to fix it

[trim yew]

great place to start looking...

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

for instance...

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[8]=1

putting that into the game.ini would let the wild dinos damage to be 1x

[livid wadi]

how to config my server? map and name?

sorry for my english, i am 🐒

[trim yew]

in what way are you running the server. via steamcmd, nitrado or a third part manager?

[livid wadi]

steamcmd

[trim yew]

okay, look for the shootergame folder in the server files

from there goto Saved\Config\WindowsServer\

[livid wadi]

ls
Compat.ini DeviceProfiles.ini Engine.ini Game.ini GameUserSettings.ini Input.ini Lightmass.ini Scalability.ini

[trim yew]

open up GameUserSettings.ini
goto the botom of the file and change the "SessionName" to the name you want

[livid wadi]

How do I join my Nintendo switch friend ark server while on Nintendo switch? He made a non dedicated world and I see it in the session list and clicked on it with the right password and it just put me back to the hub screen, it won’t actually join me in.

[trim yew]

makes me wonder if he needs to open ports on his network to make it work... not 100% sure as its nintendo switch but yeah.... could give it a try

[brave aspen]

Sounds like he will need to open his ports to make it work so u are able to join but with the switch it’s hard to tell

[river tinsel]

hey guys, it the comand giveitemtoplayer working for you ?

Anyone else having a problem with auto decay timers are resetting at daily restart

[compact forge]

We have. Started when summer bash came.

[marsh elm]

Ok so I’m not going crazy 🤣

Started the same time for me must be the event

[compact forge]

Your server using summer bash mod? We are still using it on our cluster. We are removing it end of this month.

[marsh elm]

Ye still using it hopefully removing it fix’s it

[compact forge]

We hope too. Little bit annoying 😄 I even made new inis to check if there was something went wrong when summer bash event was released.

[marsh elm]

Ye everything looks to be correct so just thought I’d ask in here 🤣

[compact forge]

We had something wrong on our inis what was from pc day one. Even when decay settings were correct. Had to do new inis for our new maps to fix issue to get decay working (before summer bash release). So sometimes it is a good idea just to do new inis.

[marsh elm]

Do you use beacon ?

[compact forge]

Yes and no. Some ini change are quicker to do without beacon.

[marsh elm]

Ye but in theory it’s supposed to help avoid these problems right 🤣

[compact forge]

Yep. But even when beacon did show that our decaytimers were right those did not work (talking time before summer bash 😄 ). Had to do new inis with beacon from defaults to get those working. I did never find out what was wrong on those old inis what was from pc day one.

[toxic hazel]

Just a Q - Anyone know of a mod for setting PvP to certain areas of the map or to set PvP on just weekends? I know there's a Auto PvP Timer for Daily use but wondering if there is something for weekends out there

[hushed fern]

QUESTION okay so I'm on PS4 and been playing for a while, but I've noticed like, 3 maps that don't have any dino spawns and no matter what i do nothing spawns, has anyone been able to get dinos to spawn in like, crystal isles?

[drowsy dagger]

Hello I gotta question about making my dinos higher levels I'm on Xbox and I don't know how to do it

[jaunty vortex]

I guess us unofficial people are not getting 51.9? Nitrado special 🙄

[bleak ivy]

that happens sometimes.

[jaunty vortex]

Oh I know. But chances are whatever is fixed in official would likely benefit everyone.

[stiff cape]

Seems to be dedicated servers as well. Our Xbox players are constantly crashing because of it

[livid latch]

Any suggestion on a cpu for a gaming pc that runs ark ASA server at the same time as playing ASA? Right now im on a 5950x and want to move up to 7000 series..7800x3d? 7950x3d?

[trim yew]

yeah mine are still 51.3

steamdb shows the public was updated 4 days ago... so not the current one

[chilly coral]

AllowedCheaterAccountIDs.txt
can anyone tell me what this file is? i dont recognize it but ive seen it for the last week or two now and im not sure what it is. - its in my nitrado server files.

[celest halo]

They don't care if unofficials have an exploit still, they only care about officials

[trim yew]

its to allow specific players to have access to admin commands

[chilly coral]

if i delete it, will there be any damage? admin will just be using codes as usual right?

[trim yew]

ifs the file is empty it will do nothing.

only server admin can add steamID64 numbers in there

[chilly coral]

kk that would be me then. thank you!

im in a restart loop issue on center again, 3rd day this week and every reset i do is causing a loop and roll back. i cant figure out what the problem is
