Is it possible to create own spawn points on the island for the dreadmare or pyromane? Game.ini?

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(
NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesGigant_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Dreadmare", EntryWeight=1.0, NPCsToSpawnStrings=("DarkPegasus_Character_BP_C"))),
NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="DarkPegasus_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05))
)

I did this but it didn't work for me and crashed the server

[last magnet]

I did it in Beacon and someone did a mod adding Pyros to the Island

[distant hearth]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesGigant_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Dreadmare",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/ASA/Dinos/DarkPegasus/DarkPegasus_Character_BP.DarkPegasus_Character_BP_C"),ManualSpawnPointSpreadRadius=3000)),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="/Game/ASA/Dinos/DarkPegasus/DarkPegasus_Character_BP.DarkPegasus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

but tbh giga spawns are kinda weird,so no idea on what the outcome wud be

[last magnet]

I copied the Stag container in the Redwoods for mine

[grizzled wagon]

i just took the giga spawn cuz i want it to be rare

[distant hearth]

rarity is done with weighting and/or max percentdesire , but im not really the best person to help as it normally takes me alot of trial and error

[high jacinth]

Anyone else randomly have fear ascended stop working until restart of the server?

[fallen jolt]

Does anyone know the command to unlock the sleeping pod by ID?

[wet knot]

Hey guys quick question:

I am running a PVE cluster and club ark is behaving weirdly. Its not letting us transfer items off club ark (despite transfers not being disabled) and when you transfer from club ark to your actual server its causing items to go invisble in my inventory and I am suddenly at the item cap?

Does anybody know why this has become an issue at all?

[sacred kestrel]

Is there a way to make it to where cryro can be thrown around enemies

[crystal mango]

Is there a possibiliti to make the gen range higher or set more than 3 gens in an area without a moddet gen?

[distant hearth]

gameusersetting.ini
DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=true

[distant hearth]

game.ini
LimitGeneratorsNum=3
LimitGeneratorsRange=1

num , increase for more
range is how close it checks for more in range iirc setting it to 0.001 then allows unlimited to be placed as the range check is less than a foundation

[distant hearth]

the last update seems to have caused alot of this sort of issues, prob just got wait for them to fix it

[wet knot]

Ahhh okie!

[rustic garnet]

Hi, is anyone having problems with club ark skins not being transferred to the server? It only happens to me with the skins, with the rest it works for me

[sacred kestrel]

Thank you

How do I get it to where I can have the new creatures in drops. I can find the saddles with ark additions but when I pair it to drops the saddle is no longer there

[last magnet]

editing the supply crates, though I think they're in the yellow & red cave drops if they were added to the base game

[silent violet]

Hey, I am having an issue where several of my players keep having their profiles deleted when transferring maps, they transfer from say Island to Scorched, time out, relog, 2nd timeout, then sometimes they are able to keep playing their character others its as if the player profile never existed and they are asked to create a new one on either map. Any ideas on what could cause this?

[untold relic]

does anyone know how to get a dedicated server working for people outside of the network for ascended im able to join people in my network can join outside gets connection timedout

[rare bear]

anyone know how to fix the new map mod file from breaking

[haughty ether]

Just the last update, broken, hopefully there’ll be a fix soon. You can fast travel to fix it but don’t pick up the bag immediately after fast travelling. Only take what you need.

[haughty ether]

It’s in general settings - look for “saddle” section.

Make sure you have that checked as well as the ini, that box overrides the ini

[haughty ether]

You need to uncheck “disable downloading player info” in crossark, check you have

noTributeDownloads=False
In GUS INI.
But also ensure you have generated a cluster ID if you disable this.

[haughty ether]

Yes we are. Game bug I think.

[wet knot]

Thank you for the reply :D

[sleek nacelle]

Sometimes it happens if the harddrive the transfer is storing the character information is full.

[silent violet]

It shouldnt be full, im using a server with 10 hard drives raided together, its roughly 5tbs of storage and the only thing Im running on the server is my ark instances.

[silent violet]

Ill see if I can find that setting, and im pretty sure tributes is already turned off and ive made a clusterid and added each server to it.

[haughty ether]

That check box overrides the ini, thats why I said to check its unchecked. Just mentioned the cluster ID as didn't want randoms coming into your server from SP.

That check box is in the cross ark section where you check the boxes for allowing player/dino/item uploads/downloads.

[sacred kestrel]

Yeah, most the caves on my server are built in since I put artifacts in the drops so not everyone will be able to get them.
I Have the saddles in the presets on beacon but they dissappear once I've added the preset to a loot crate

[fossil onyx]

Does anyone know how to reset the bounty board rewards on a private club ark cluster?

[sinful eagle]

More servers having crash issues after adding haloween mod?
Will it stop if we remove the mod or is it from trashcard update?

[humble thicket]

my game crashes like once every 10 hours of gameplay since the halloween update came out. we have only one mod which is the event mod. cannot say if its because of that cuz we changed the servers right before the update as well.

[edgy pasture]

Has anyone found a way to lesson lost characters from happening? I tried the usestore conversion and it caused more problems than its worth. It gets a bit tiring having to restore characters from simple things such as just logging in to find its gone lol

[celest halo]

Gotta be something up with your setup, me and another player on my cluster transfer between maps 2-3 times everyday. Last time I had to restore a character file was because of a share setting not getting set right after a computer reboot

[edgy pasture]

Whats the share setting? I also have lost character from transfers from time to time too, but all i get told is its a known ARK issue and thats about it

[celest halo]

I use Linux and the NFS mount went read-only that time

[high jacinth]

Move from aberration to the island in my cluster. Log out to go to bed. Log in 9 hours later "create a new character" How do i fix this with my backups?

[edgy pasture]

Sorry I’m not sure what that means. I’m first time server admin haha what’s NFS?

[celest halo]

Network file system, used to share folders/files between Linux computers

[edgy pasture]

All of that is disabled on the windows pc the server is hosted on

[silent violet]

There is no GUI for my server, its all powershell and text file based

[haughty ether]

Aah ok sorry . Wrongly assumed you were Nitrado

[celest halo]

Yup windows used its own thing for sharing folder/files between computers, if all the servers are in same computer you don't need a network file share

[high jacinth]

I figured it out. Going through my backups somehow ark deleted my .arkprofile between the 11 EST and midnight backup

Does .ark profile physically move betwen servers in a cluster?

or is it just a unique per server .arkprofile?

[silent violet]

They move between servers, there is a global cluster save but the actual character moves between maps

[high jacinth]

Can there be a lag between the transfer of the .arkprofile file? I feel like when transferred from aberration -> island then immediatley logged of i caused an issue

[celest halo]

It moves that's how people lose it all the time, it goes from server save folder to cluster folder to server save folder. So if both servers don't use the same cluster folder character goes poof, or if both servers can't read/write to that folder character goes poof

[silent violet]

I think I found what may fix my issue, i didnt check the pinned messages recently

[celest halo]

Then there is the rare case character goes poof if you logout right after a transfer before the server does it's auto save

[velvet forge]

Does the taming rate include creatures that are passive tames? I always thought it did . . .

[celest halo]

That could of did it, see my message 2 up

[olive talon]

Yes

[velvet forge]

So then if I have 10x taming rates, shouldn't passive tames also be 10x as fast? Without the need for a separate code

[olive talon]

Should be yes

[velvet forge]

So then whats the point of let's say passivetameinterval ? Is that redundant? Or does the taming multiplier overwrite that ? Or do they function separately....

We have 10x taming rates but people are still asking about passive tames so I'm a bit confused as I thought w/10x taming rates it included the passive tames as well lol 😆

[olive talon]

Passivetameinterval scales how often players get asked to feed the passive tames, tamingspeed just makes it go by faster=less time between feeds

[velvet forge]

So you don't have to have both.

[olive talon]

I've never used both, personally. Taming speed is typically enough, even on lower rates

[velvet forge]

Thanks 🙂

[high jacinth]

@celest halo Can you actually track the .arkprofile passing through the cluster directory? I see steam IDs in there, but they don't have any file extension appended like .arkprofile

[celest halo]

Not sure never checked the folders while doing a transfer

[real zealot]

if we remove the fear ascended mod from our server would it also removeo our tamed dodorex, dodowyvern, zomdodo, and the skins/costumes?

[untold relic]

does anyone know how to get a dedicated server working for people outside of the network for ascended im able to join people in my network can join outside gets connection timed out?

[distant hearth]

Yes you Would lose them , the items are not in base game atm

[distant hearth]

You will need to forward the game port if asa or ports if ase in udp, through windows firewall and router(also any third party antivirus/malware you might use)

[untold relic]

if ive done all of that and still having that same issue is there any other fix?

[distant hearth]

search the server name on battlemetrics website and make sure its running on the game port you think it is if asa

[real zealot]

but when they get added is it good to remove or no? because its what happened with archelon when it was added to base game, we remvoed the mod and players lost their tames

[distant hearth]

archelon was differnt as the mod version of the tame was differnt to the base game version .
If in doubt when the time comes, make a backup, remove and test . If your not happy roll back to the backup

[real zealot]

would have to see how to do that with nitrado lol

thank you!

[distant hearth]

no problem , nitrado take auto backups every x amount of time, im not sure how often they are now tbh as havent used them for years

[untold relic]

thank you ill give that a shot and hope it works

[real zealot]

i know the location backup thing the one used for rollbacks (idk what it saves lol but definitely not the mods etc.) goes a minimum of 15 minutes for us, but as per nitrado backups like backups for settings, mods, etc. that idk lol

[olive talon]

Garuga and Myrmecoleon are working together on the mod versions being able to be converted to vanilla creatures so that you can safely remove the mods. You will need to join Garuga's modding discord to keep up with that content.

[real zealot]

thank you! do you have a link by chance? not sure if bot will delete it tho

[urban sentinel]

hi, i recently installed ASA with the xbox game pass, i downloaded the 150GO, and now im trying to launch it and it tells me that i have to do an update, but the update is literally the size of the game (156 GO). And when i try to skip the update it tells me that it will uninstall the game... What should i do ?

[real zealot]

lol thank you!

[distant hearth]

not really a question for this section, but allow the update, its going to d/l a smaller update then patch it over the entire game so needs the extra space

if you dont have enough space to install the update, you will need to make more space or delete the entire game an redownload

[last magnet]

I had an appointment so didn't see this until now. I did it a bit differently: I made a template preset in Beacon, and made sure the specific saddles I wanted was in it (I also have a few other animal mods that add saddles) and made sure that the minimum and max number of item sets matched how many item sets I had in each color drop including the vanilla ones. Otherwise it won't show up in the drops bc of weights.

[floral valley]

i been searching the last 2 hours and can't find the dreadmare addon or how to activate it on my unoffical server

[bleak ivy]

fantastic tames always spawn, there is no setting to enable or anything you need to do server wise.
just client side needs to buy it to use/tame it.

[wise kindle]

Use cheat listdinos command and then hit the ~ again to see the list. They average about 3-6 on either center or SE.

[sacred kestrel]

I wonder if that's my problem. The drop itself won't match the preset cause I don't want all dropping at once but maybe I forgot to readjust something

[floral valley]

oh.... so the dreadmare should always spawn are on the island? coool!

[floral valley]

ty for the tip

[distant hearth]

by default they only spawn on scorched an the centre

[floral valley]

oh... that explains a lot...

[pure haven]

is there an ini config for cryopods to reduce cryo prevention time after creature has been damaged?

[distant hearth]

i dont think so without using mods like dino depo , i checked through the wiki list too an nothing listed

[floral valley]

even on unoffical theres no way to turn off the cryo sickness if you throw out a dino if pvp is on? i turned off cryo sickness but dino still get it in pvp mode. its just 3-4 of my friends on it

[bleak ivy]

none of the fantastic tames will spawn on the island. its any map besides the island based on biomes.

[distant hearth]

nope need a mod to do that , dino depot works great

[bleak ivy]

best to use a cryopod mod. dino depot is good if you play ASA.

👀

[distant hearth]

lots of customization on dino depot too, so u can make it like a normal cryo if u wanted too lol

[cold brook]

Pelayori's is the most popular, I use SCS, both share most of their functionality with the old dino storage from ASE

[floral valley]

i used Pelayori mod but even in pvp it still turns the sickness on even if i have it off with the mod so thought maybe i had to manually change something in the server

[bleak ivy]

its most likely a setting in that mod. pelayori had issues when I used it so I switched to dino depot which is closer to dino storage.

[cold brook]

There's ini options for it, look at the config options

[distant hearth]

im sur etheres a setting for it

[bleak ivy]

dino depot even has an ingame menu for console players

[floral valley]

ok ill try dino depot and see if it turns off pvp cryo sickness, tyvm guys!

[bleak ivy]

make sure nothing is in pelayori's pods if you are switching

[distant hearth]

pelayori shud be able do it if u dint wanna change, just look for its config

curseforge page prob has a link to it

[bleak ivy]

it does. it says cryo sickness should be disabled by default tho

pelayori has so few settings lol. 38 vs dino depots 210 😂

[distant hearth]

idk i ditched pelayori early on, it had weird issues from memory

[bleak ivy]

lots of people on console SP seem to have issues with it. probably just what fluff said, something something bad memory handling something something.

[lunar cloud]

dont know why they just cant add an ini to turn cryosickness off in all modes. silly that we need a mod for a simple flag.
and then slippery slope of adding a mod that has 100s of game changing features

[bleak ivy]

just change all the other stuff back.

its entirely possible in dino depot

I'm sure somebody has a copy and paste for essentially vanilla pods settings.

[distant hearth]

i mean i wudnt use stock cryos if they had the option, but there are a ton of default ini settings wc prob shud of added for unofficial

[bleak ivy]

one problem would be, now consoles are out of luck so it didn't help everybody to begin with.

[distant hearth]

consoles are always shit out luck, not much excuse now its x plat , single player i guess but that just never works right

[bleak ivy]

when like 80% of unofficials use mods, it doesn't matter anyway

[olive talon]

Dino depot thankfully has almost every configuration needed available ingame without ini settings

[bleak ivy]

I like the jump that fear did to servers 😂 almost gave the wrong answer. its 95% of all servers right now.

[broken halo]

Yeah true but some of have em for basic QOL that should have been placed base game like the cryo for example

[distant hearth]

did they ever add in the option to have more than one oasissaur per tribe?

[broken halo]

Not counting having to use mods for events though

[bleak ivy]

lots of settings should exist especially when you look between PvE and PvP
but when its already available mod-wise for the people that can switch unofficial and singleplayer not much point to add a base setting

[broken halo]

I mean really we could have left that a config setting

[bleak ivy]

don't think so

[distant hearth]

simple things that shud be options

[bleak ivy]

cryo sickness was never a config for PvP. it is by default disabled for PvE and does have a setting there.

[broken halo]

No I'm pretty sure we had a config for disable on pvp it's been awhile so I may be wrong

[bleak ivy]

assuming the simple thing doesn't break everything 😂 like a bunch of other settings coming with drawbacks.

[bleak ivy]

PvP can only disable the new cryo nerf. with the damage buff and whatever. not cryo sickness.

I say new lol. pretty sure its like 3 years old or more now

[broken halo]

Yes now in asa I mean on ase

[bleak ivy]

no, the new cryo nerf was in ASE.

when you released something it gave a debuff.

that one has settings for unofficials. and I believe disabled by default

[broken halo]

Like I said it's been a while so I could be wrong easily I an I'm sure

Wait are we talking official here cuz I was only referring to Un

[bleak ivy]

all settings are about unofficials. you can't change official settings lol

imo, when wildcard doesn't add a setting it means they want it to be a certain way, cryo-sickness on PvP, the new damage-no cryo thing. they don't have settings because thats what they want the game to be like.

or it breaks something/performance like tether does lol

[broken halo]

No I get that you just have me a little confused when you posted that it's almost contradicting in my head lol anyways new subject 😆

[limber willow]

When changing the game difficulty (I changed it from 0.6 to 3), do I need to start from a fresh world? Or will it change my current world saves?

[bleak ivy]

the slider is offset so it'll go back to 1.0
it'll effect anything that is a new spawn. just do the destroywilddinos command to get everything to respawn or just kill things and have them slowly respawn.

[limber willow]

Oh yeah I see it snapped back to 1.0. A bit confused by that, so I cant increase it past 1.0?

[bleak ivy]

there is a pin in #bobs-with-probs on how to override the difficulty. its in the ini not in the singleplayer menu

[limber willow]

ok tbanks ill check it out

[tepid berry]

Anyone else having an issue where your players transfer across the cluster, and they can't see their items? Or think maybe it's a mod I'm probably using?

I've been instructing them to kill themselves to fix it, and it does, but...it's so annoying.

[distant hearth]

its a game issue atm, just got wait till wc fix

[tepid berry]

I thought so, just double checking.

Thank you @distant hearth

[celest halo]

its really annoying when one of the missing things is your imprint lol

[tepid berry]

Yeah, cause then you gotta find a roof to jump off of

[celest halo]

or find a dino to kill you, then go fight it after to get your bag back

[mental rain]

I’m assuming this is a simple resolution that I’m completely overlooking. If I am hosting a server from a pc at home, and my other PC can find it on the unofficial tab + connect to it but the PS5 cannot, what am I doing wrong?

[tepid berry]

@mental rain it's usually that you have the wrong options selected in the server browser

[mental rain]

All filters are the same 😩

[tepid berry]

Make sure PvP/PvE/Map are the same

Those are filters that aren't shown at the bottom of the window

[celest halo]

you disable crossplay or install a mod thats pc only

[mental rain]

Yeah they are

[mental rain]

No mods installed.

[final meadow]

anyone else having issues on the nitrado web interface? loading super slow and when i go to save changes it gives me the cloudflare cant connect to host screen

[sly storm]

Hey guys, anyone had any luck rolling with the ASA server creation tool and allowing access? Got my servers all setup and succesdfully connect/play locally, but not from outside my network.
Gone thru the port forwarding, etc, but so far not having much luck so far

[mental rain]

Same.. can connect from PC but not PS5

[sly storm]

I can't seem to connect at all from the outside, no matter the device. All seem to be able to connect from the same network tho. Went thru and static IP'd the physical server, ensured inbound/outbound rules are good, even disabled the firewall entrirely... Still no luck... It's been kicking my tail for days, so figured I'd see if anyone here had better results.

They all pop in the server list, show good ping, and correctly queries the server version, but any connection attempt from outside just results in a "Join failed, connection timeout"
Even had the fiber guys come out and replace the ONT just as a precaution incase it was equipment related

[lunar cloud]

its a port access issue if you get connection timeout. Best thing is to use tools like nmap (you can download it for windows) and run nmap I think its with -Su for UDP port, and make sure you run that from outside your network against your public IP of your server, it will tell if the port is actually open and can reach target.

it could be port-forward thats incorrect, it could be wrong port protocol , people tend to use TCP instead of UDP , it could be windows firewall blocking the port on server, could be antivirus blocking it , or a misconfiguration of any of the above . Best proof is nmap against your public IP from outside network and it will rule all of it out

[sharp canopy]

Yo if anyones looking for a coder for their server please dm me

[true ore]

do you have any projects you have worked on?

[true ore]

dont you also have to have a staic ip as well?

[sharp canopy]

Ive worked on quite a few ASE servers but this would be my first time on ASA which shouldnt be any different.

If you have further questions please contact me.

[kind moon]

is there a way to see the full mod download size on curseforge

[lunar cloud]

kind of, so when your ark server starts up, it registers to be shown on the list. It will remain on the list as long as the server process is running. And as long as the port is accessible you can connect from the public IP regardless if static or not. However if the IP changes, it will stay on the list, but folk wont be able to connect.

I run my server on a dynamic IP and have a cronjob running on my server that detects if the IP has changes and notifies me, then i just reboot the server so it re-registers with the new IP. My IP changes once every 3 weeks or so, so its not a huge issue for me

[slate wave]

Just a question on server system specs, for a small server with 10 players max will a laptop with an i5 1035g 12gb of ram and 512gb suffice, i only plan to run 1 - 2 maps at a time. Ark ase

Im worried that the cpu is too weak and im not gonna spend 4 hours configuring just to find out it doesnt work well

[kind moon]

any mods?

[slate wave]

S+, awesome spyglass, realistic ballistics, upgrade station

[kind moon]

it should be alright but i dont play on ase but from my understanding asa needs more to run then ase and what you have should be enough

[slate wave]

Asa servers were a shitshow to try and run, single maps use 16 - 20gb ram so i decided to do ase first until i beat all bosses

[kind moon]

yeaa i run 2 asa servers with around 8G of mods not including amissa tho ive had multiple people comment saying they have never been on such a smooth server guess thats the power with private service provider XD

[slate wave]

Yep

I only intend to run a cluster in ase for now

And prep for the servers to be left on for weeks on end

[kind moon]

noice

if you ever feel like jumping on asa hmu lol

[slate wave]

Yeah i might wait till 2027 when the 6090 releases so i can build it for the memes and actually play asa on 4k 120hz

My laptop 3060 is not cuttting asa

[kind moon]

haha yea asa needs alot both of my servers use 2 AMD Ryzen 9 7950Xwith 16g ram

[slate wave]

Thats just how intensive ue5 is

Lumen is eye candy yes but also wallet candy

[kind moon]

XD yeah like $16k to run 2 servers

[slate wave]

At least ase can run on 12gb ram

But id wanna run my current save file as a dedicated server on a nother laptop bc

I literally go from 80 fps to 30 when i host non dedicated

[kind moon]

most of my players can run 100 fps which is nice

[slate wave]

Yeah ark is 100% for people who have money

But ill never forget the steal i got from asa, region prices let me get the game for 19 usd

And literally the next day they updated it to the current 40/45 usd

[kind moon]

noice

[slate wave]

But its truly ironic

When i got ase i was on a 620 uhd and couldnt play it

So it sat in my library for 4 years

And asa is gonna do the same until 2027

Bc my 3060 cant run it

Ahhh i miss my ps4 days

I had 2k hours on it and was mostly on island and aberration single player

[kind moon]

the main reason i play console

[slate wave]

Console is ehh for me

Psn doesnt have my country and xbox has shit exclusives

Excluding halo

[kind moon]

i play xbox idc about the exclusive stuff mainly care that it can actually play games tho XD

[slate wave]

Yes series x is insane spec wise

[kind moon]

yeaa i have series x will say the only "problem" it has is that it gets really hot it hasnt overheated on me once tho and i live in outback aussie so pretty stupid heat here ive ended up spending around $400 of little fans for it to help keep it cool which has definitely helped

[cold brook]

Hi folks my dynamic config url isn't working for some reason. It worked fine until I updated the configs generally (not changing this setting) I set it as customdynamicconfigurl="http:\localhost:80\dynamicconfig.ini" in GUS, on server load it drops the "" to customdynamicconfigurl=http:\localhost:80\dynamicconfig.ini and doesn't use the setting

I have -usedynamicconfig in the command line, and the file is reachable on the machine using the URL

[sly storm]

This is the likely culprit. After about an hour on hold with my ISP, found out they never actually setup or assigned the Static IP I'm payin for. Hopefully that is the red herring and I'll be good after they correct it today

[jaunty vortex]

You don’t actually need a static address if self hosting. You’ll just need a server restart if it changes.

[cyan girder]

Guys I can open Host non-dedicated session the island server but when I exit the server game is not saving the server so everything is deleting.I redownloaded game too but nothing changed And I need to create a new character everytime if I want to play. can someone help me pls

[real zealot]

can anyone help me with an rcon command for giving players ascension please

[kind moon]

just use normal in game commands

use them in the rcon tho

[real zealot]

thank you!

[kind moon]

im not %100 but thats how most rcons work just use normal ingame commands in there

[fickle crystal]

ok I am at a lose anyone know why my server people inventory is going invisible and not coming back

I have deleted and reinstalled all mods and some of the players have done it on there end as well

[kind moon]

wildcard issue i have having the same issue today you need to A tell players to check the cosmetics and put them into a storage box B fast travel using bed that will drop everything in the players inv and also reset the character and if best to not use TRANSFER all because that is a big cause of the issue

it shouldnt be anything to do with the mods i do know cyber structures had this issue a not to long ago but it was fixed but id suggest trying them things and if they dont work then it could most likely be a mod issue but like i said i was having the same issue today with myself and 2 other players and fast traveling fixed the issue

also make a bug report of the issue in #bug-reports so wildcard can hopefully fix it asap

[fickle crystal]

TY

[kind moon]

all good i know the pain lol

[rocky viper]

Hey guys, maybe you can help me. I am having an issue where Wyvern count on our scorched server is very low even if I up the dino count. Is their an .ini anyone can share that increases the spawn rates of wyverns at the scar?

[kind moon]

give me a min i might be able to help

[rocky viper]

appreciate you, thank you!

[kind moon]

DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=(wyvern tags), SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.0, OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true, SpawnLimitPercentage=0.0) and just fiddle with the settings i was having the same issue sorta had like 200 spawning at once XD but i imagine this would help also make sure you are dino wiping after changing something and give them time to respawn

[rocky viper]

thank you i will try this and get back to you! appreciate this, its been bothering me for a bit and i always put it off till today lol

[kind moon]

hahaha all good im glad i can help and i know that feeling only just setup shops on my other servers XD been putting it off for a while now

[rocky viper]

so something like this right?

DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Wyvern_Fire", SpawnWeightMultiplier=5.0, OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true, SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0)

Obviously the 5.0 I may have to tweak right? that's a lot? lol

[kind moon]

Yeap that should work and yea just tweak untill it feels right

[rocky viper]

do i need this?

[SpawnEntries]
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Wyvern_Fire", SpawnWeightMultiplier=5.0, OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true, SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0)

This goes into game.ini?

[sharp canopy]

Hello , does anyone know how to turn the bag menu color black instead of blue ?

[final nymph]

So does anyone else have experience running an unofficial non nitrado server cluster? I run one on a dedicated server but im having a repeating bug that I was wanting to talk to someone else very experienced in hosting. if you are, and don't mind messaging me, please and thank you

[distant hearth]

many of us do , if you have a specific fee free to post here an sonner or later someone will likely know whats up

[final nymph]

Well i have an issue that when someone transfers from 1 map to another and a crash happens, then their whole character gets deleted.

[distant hearth]

just the one specific player when they transfer and it actually crashes the server?

[pale wyvern]

Our servers appear to have been removed from the server list. It's been a little over a week now We have even tried setting up a new server on the same dedi ( it's currently hosting 2 clusters, 1 pve 1 pvp smoothly )

No server from that dedi is viewable on the server list anymore 😭

[wise kindle]

Do you search with the “player servers” box checked?

[pale wyvern]

yeah

It was workign fine since around february.

[wise kindle]

They disappeared back in February?

[pale wyvern]

stopped working about.. a week ago

[wise kindle]

Ah ok

[pale wyvern]

Nope, they have been in server lists since february, they stopped showing about.. 1-2 weeks ago ?

No changes were made.

[wise kindle]

Dunno maybe Will has an idea.

[distant hearth]

no ive no clue, it happended to a couple other people i went through everything i cud think of with them other than changing ip adress or machine

[final nymph]

No it's anyone and it's not a guarantee crash.. just often and if the crash does happen. Then poof their character is gone. But it can happen to anyone.

[pale wyvern]

We have actually reached out to attempt to change our IP w/ our datacenter

[distant hearth]

you will ned to figure out why the server is crashing first , thats no normal behaviour

[final nymph]

Our dedi shows up in the server list in game.

[pale wyvern]

As did ours until the last week or so

[distant hearth]

only other thing i can think is try a really simple name with no charachters or spaces in them for the server, "solaoark" or what ever

[pale wyvern]

And, I spool up w/ the exact same settings on a different server ( my dev server ), and it all works.

[distant hearth]

ignore my name thing then,it wud seem like some sort ip adress issue , for what reason i dont know

[pale wyvern]

We are a nowipe cluster, that sadly.. had to wipe due to a bunch of unfortunate problems when Ab launched, So we wonder if we had people do some form of server report and get us soft banned.

[distant hearth]

i dont really see how they could tbh, its your server you can do what you want with it in reality

[final nymph]

Agreed but im not entirely sure what's causing it to crash, and I don't know how to read crash logs etc. But I do have someone who might be able tom

[distant hearth]

once u have the crashing sorted you can look into using the other save method , just know it is not reverisble if you go that route. its in the pinned messages .
theres a load of us run it with 0 issues

[final nymph]

Another related issue is if someone transfers maps and then logs out soon afterwards then same thing.. character gone. Next time they log in, it wants them to create a new character

[final nymph]

Ok. What server manager software do you use?

[distant hearth]

yea thats been a issue since clustering released , the other save format stops that happening ,
i dont use a manager , do mine manually atm

[high jacinth]

Happened to me because .arkprofile didn't generate on the map i transferred to before logging out. Had to restore characters .arkprofile from a backup.

[distant hearth]

yea thats exactly what happens, sometimes if player logs off after transfering but before server save, the profile vanishes into the abyss

[final nymph]

Yeah that's what I have to do. I also think that's why the characters are being deleted upon crashing after server transfer also... just wish I knew why the often crashing.

[high jacinth]

i had mine start crashing today, but only after i added the trireme ship mod. Not sure if related.

[distant hearth]

Just the one server that crashes? does it have any mods or custom spawn coding that the others dont?

[final nymph]

No. Could be any map. And we run very little mods.

I think 5 mods maybe. And none of them game altering just QoL type mods

[distant hearth]

randomly crashing any map might be hardware related i guess, might wanna watch the cpu an ram useage when there busy make sure ure not pushing its limits

[final nymph]

Ok

[sharp canopy]

Anyone need a coder for their server?

[grave mason]

What is that?

[distant hearth]

or even just use summit like hw info an have it record hardware useage , see if you can tie a spike to when it crashes

[high jacinth]

Grafana Alloy + Prometheus + Grafana for monitoring ark servers

and send the alerts to discord via webhook

[pale wyvern]

Hrmm. I was looking at pointing the game servers to my Signoz cluster and add CLR .Net Tracing 😛

[vestal kestrel]

Im getting screen tearing along the left, right, and bottom of my screen and its exclusive to ASA, i've done the usual screen tearing combating things like V-sync and checking refresh rates, nothing works. Can anyone help?

[hoary canyon]

Hi there, I just got my hands on the game, I've always been a huge fan and player of Ark Survival Evolved, but with the country I live in, getting a pc that can run the new Ark Survival Ascended is difficult, I'm still trying to save up further, I got provided for my job a laptop with the following requirements and wanted to check if I could run the game with it, its a work pc that I get to keep after 1 year at the company, I did check the requirements on steam for the game but sometimes steam requirements aren't very accurate I've noticed:

NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
11th Gen Intel(R) Core i7
16 GB of RAM
Windows 11 64 bit operating system
DirectX 12

[kind moon]

Hey sorry I didn’t respond been asleep you shouldn’t need [spawnEntries] and yeah it goes into game.Iniq

[lost gust]

is there a RAM cap on the nitrado servers?
For example our Centre map is hitting 26GB of ram usage on Nitrado and is crashign with the EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW error.

[kind moon]

Damm that’s a lot how many mods you run I have about 32 around 8gb of ram and only push max 13gb ram

[lost gust]

this is our mod list - all pretty standard - the only one thats 100% cosmestic is Cliffan Wardrobe.
Pelayori's Cryo Storage
AP: Death Recovery
Griffins
Super Spyglass Plus
Custom Dino Levels
Klinger Additional Structures
Klinger Additional Rustic Building
Utilities Plus
Additions Ascended: Acrocanthosaurus
Element and Tribute Transfers
Maewings
Stop the Steal
Cliffans Wardrobe
Cybers Structures QoL+
Simple Trade

since day 1 - The island has been using 22-23GB of ram so never expected that we shouldnt be seeing 20+

will also note that our Center server has seen over 1000 Unique players

since launch which may add to it.

[kind moon]

Hmm that’s odd how many players you got?

Also you don’t need element and tribute transfer if you also have cyber structures because there’s a thing that allows you to transfer element and tributes

[deep turtle]

How do I know when nitrado server needs an update?

[lost gust]

during the launch periods - we get 30-40 across our cluster all day.

Cyber was a recent addition, but also the ele/tribute transfer is the smallest mod so that shouldnt be making anything crash imo

[lost gust]

they should be on the 55.12. If they arent - restart and they should update

[deep turtle]

Ok thank you

[kind moon]

I honestly don’t think I can help too much then I don’t use nitrado I use a private service provider and I haven’t had any of them issues we have 100 slots and have never crashed due to anything

[lost gust]

yea all good, was hoping that someone knew the cap to it.
I suspect its 32GB - whts require for base files which we might be close to hitting hence the crashes.

Ill talk to my mod team and see what we want to do.

What provider do you use/how much per month are they?

[rocky viper]

yeah i tried without it and it didn't work, would it be alright to have a copy of your .ini for the wyvern code?

[kind moon]

I use hydra gaming host and currently per server have 2 cord and 16gb ram which is $75 usd per month

[lost gust]

jesus christ.
yea cant move to something that pricey XD

[kind moon]

That code I sent is what I have in my game.ini I just replaced (wyvern tags) and replaced the numbers to 0.0

[kind moon]

Honestly yeah it’s pricey but god Damm I’ve never played on a server that is as smooth I’ve had multiple people say the same aswell

[lost gust]

yea but $75USD x 5 = $225 *1.6 for USD to AUD and it just isnt doable XD
But 100% if money wasnt a thing, id swap to anyone but nitrado XD

[kind moon]

Haha yeah I’m Aussie too so I do understand the price jump lol

I knew off the bat I wasn’t gonna use nitrado lol

[lost gust]

one day if i win the lotto... maybe but until then, ill sit in the poor nitrado land

[kind moon]

I just need to get more people in to make it worth while since we have 100 slots per map and aren’t even using a third of that atm

[distant hearth]

if u have 5 servers with nitrado you might wanna look into renting a dedicated machine and setting up the servers yourself . prob work out cheaper and run way better. just gotta want to learn how and spend the time doing so

[subtle ledge]

I was wonder if anyone had a solution to this problem. Me and a buddy are running a cluster and our astraeos map keeps restarting over and over and we've tried restarting, messed with the settings, deleted mods, and even deleting the corrupted tribe logs. It's only this map and it keeps crashing at about the 10 min mark

[kind moon]

Have you stopped it done the update and started it back up?

[rocky viper]

i even tried this:
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C", SpawnWeightMultiplier=2.0, OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true, SpawnLimitPercentage=1.0

still didn't work

[kind moon]

thats very odd are you with nitrado?

[subtle ledge]

It keeps saying its updating

[kind moon]

try and stop it and leave it offline for an hour or so and see if it finnaly updates

[rocky viper]

not at all, ive added rhynios to thecenter with no problems, idk what i am doing wrong here

[subtle ledge]

He said that it was left offline for a few hours earlier

[kind moon]

yeah that code should be working its what i use and it worked without problem let me double check everything

[kind moon]

maybe its the mod map issue try and get in contact with the moder

[subtle ledge]

Ok

[kind moon]

dinoSpawnWeightMultipliers-(DinoNameTag-"Wyvern_Character_Fire_C",SpawnWeightMultiplier-2.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage-True,SpawnLimitPercentage-1.0)

[kind moon]

give that a crack

in game.ini under shootergame

DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=”Wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C",SpawnWeightMultiplier=1.5,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=true,SpawnLimitPercentage=2.0)

[rocky viper]

will do, in a bit, and i'll get back to you, appreciate the help 🙂

[kind moon]

all good if that doesnt work i will be clueless lol first one is from online and second one is exactly what i have in my files i only replaced the wyvern tag with the wyvern_Character_BP_Fire_C

[celest briar]

So does anyone know through nitrado if me and a friend both have different accounts and servers rented is it possible to cluster them, or do they all need to be under the same account?

[distant hearth]

shud be fine ive done it before , just make sure both servers have identical cluster ids

ive even done it from german to uk nitrado servers, they must use some sort data sync for there shared folder directory

[kind moon]

i dont know about with nitrado but atleast with my provider they have to be on the same blade

[celest briar]

Yeah thats what a read about a different host is they all need to be under the same account

Couldnt find anything about it on nitrado

[subtle ledge]

Is anyone else having issues with astraeos specifically?

[distant hearth]

nope mines running fine , was on it a while ago

[subtle ledge]

Hm so ik it's not the map at least

[distant hearth]

prob shud note mines selfhosted

what issue u got ?

[lost gust]

55.16 crashing for anyone elses servers?

[rocky viper]

it didn't work, the wyvern pop stayed the same, i give up lol

[quick escarp]

We keep crashing Island and Center, but not the others so far.

[lost gust]

same here actually
Only those 2 crashing - other 2 are fine.

Reports of bases corrupting and disappearing

[quick escarp]

Good to know we aren’t alone

[kind moon]

sorry i couldnt help fix the issue

does anyone use the dino painter mod and if so do you know if there is a way to make it a one time use?

[marsh elm]

Anyone else having a problem with cosmetics messing up players inventory

[grand hull]

How do I add a admin password onto my server?

[kind moon]

does anyone know any dino painting mods

[kind moon]

is there a way to add dreadmare spawns to island and modded maps?

[kind moon]

okay soo i think i have another option for you its a little hard to setup but once you have it setup its bloody amazing ill have to dm you the link for it

[untold relic]

even after forwarding all the required ports and putting in the required script im still having issues having friends join my dedicated server they are just getting the error "connection timed out" i can connect locally on other devices it shows up on battlemetrics and i have it all on the same ports what are they or am i doing wrong?

[wet knot]

Hey guys im a bit stumpt, club ark for me isnt transfering items from the Club ARK to the main maps for me via the obelisk despite downloads + uploads being enabled on both maps and they are BOTH clustered. Any ideas?

[dawn warren]

Guys, I'm really in need of your help please.

Since Aberration came out I did a small break.
Returning to our old server it seems all players are currently stuck on their current level and cant gain any more XP.
No Settings were touched.
May a kind soul have an idea how to fix that ?

[indigo dagger]

So, my wife and I LOVE the Halloween event and want to keep enjoying it this year right through the holidays. Am I correct in thinking that if I keep it isntalled, we can enjoy it as long as we like?

Hi I just setup a server for me and some friends and I’m trying to fine tune something but I’ve noticed when I open inventory sometimes screen freeze and I will rubberband in place for a few seconds can any help?

[wise kindle]

Its a bug. There is a client side fix just released that may or may not help.

[timid iron]

is there a way to download mods fast ?

[untold relic]

even after forwarding all the required ports and putting in the required script im still having issues having friends join my dedicated server they are just getting the error "connection timed out" i can connect locally on other devices it shows up on battlemetrics and i have it all on the same ports what are they or am i doing wrong?

thats for players though? what about dinos

these are the settings for tamed dino , changing the values will effect how much a tamed dino gets into a stat per level up 
see here for more info , 
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier

[distant hearth]

this is usually a port issue , is it for asa or ase server?

[untold relic]

ASA

[arctic sage]

yeah probably port forwarding, or firewall that blocks remote connections

ops, you said you did the forwarding, so i would check firewalls

[distant hearth]

asa use just game port, needs to be forwarded in udp through windows defender firewall, the router(anything else in your network between the device and internet)(and any antivrus/malware programs u might use)

some people have issues using 7777 udp, try 7778

[broken halo]

Are they searching with the player server box checked

[kind moon]

Does anyone know how to allow foreign Dino’s and if it’s a line of code and what that line is

[mental rain]

Literally the one you wrote is for Dinosaurs

[mental rain]

^^^^

[distant hearth]

gus ini
CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=True

[kind moon]

Isn’t that to
Be able to transfer Dino’s.

I’m looking to spawns say dreadmare onto island

[distant hearth]

correct , sry i misunderstood, you can code other creatures onto the map yea, its a bit of pain and im terrible at it ,
here has info on it, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Creature_Spawn_related
i use beacon to do it though, bit easier an its still a struggle to get the weights right, to get just a few spawning instead of hundreds or thousands haha

[kind moon]

I was trying to use beacon to do it but couldn’t figure it out lol

[distant hearth]

oh go to the help tab in beacon, then look for config editors, ark ascended, creature spawns, explains how do it

[teal quarry]

Yeah and when I changed it and force tamed a dino it came with the stat already

Unless I got really unlucky

Because I set food to 300 force tamed a Stego and it came out with 30000 food no levels

[cyan girder]

Guys I can open Host non-dedicated session the island server but when I exit the server game is not saving the server so everything is deleting.I redownloaded game too but nothing changed And I need to create a new character everytime if I want to play. can someone help me pls?

[distant hearth]

try entering this in command console
cheat saveworld before exiting game

[cyan girder]

Its not saving

I already tryed it

[teal quarry]

by the way if I level a stat then change the stat per level amount will it scale with that?

[distant hearth]

using any sort of antivirus/antimalware that might block the game from writing to disk ?

[lost gust]

any word if the server issues are being looking at from the latest version?

[upper anchor]

What issues?

[untold relic]

they can see it just not join

[untold relic]

i haven't tried 7778 but ive tried getting my routers fire wall to get it through there ive got my fire wall letting those ports through

[untold relic]

ive gone through all i can get access to through windows firewall and routers fire wall is there another by some odd chance im missing?

Is it possible to host club ark from a pc but have it connected to my nitrado cluster

[wooden folio]

Hi ! I set up my unoffical serv , i can join with open ip:port but can't find it on the list , is there a way to resolve this ( to make it show on the list ) ?

[olive talon]

Nitrado can only be clustered with nitrado

[olive talon]

Check "show player servers" if it isn't a nitrado/rented server

[wooden folio]

it work thanks ! 🫶

[wooden folio]

Is there a commande to join with open ip:port but with a password ? 🥹 I tryed ip:port?password but it say wrong password ( and i'm sure it's the right one )

[olive talon]

Make sure it is case sensitive

[wooden folio]

Yup , I check again it's the good pw , but when i try to join it tell me wrong pw

I can join with the pw when joining from list , but not with ip:port?password

[unborn smelt]

Hello does anyone know if club ark unofficial is still broken? I run a modded cluster and recently added club ark, we have it properly installed and we can transfer players to and from but items will not transfer.

All settings are right though all transferring is enabled.

[olive talon]

You cannot transfer anything into club ark

Regardless of settings

[astral magnet]

has anyone had problems with mods placing other mod items? like when i try to place a ultra ammo box it will place as a mystery box from a whole different mod. same way for placing a arkomatic item it will place into a INx cave building structure

also has anyone had problems with their servers randomly ping spiking to either 100-1000 ping and or crash but allow people to instantly load back in? im assuming its a mod issue but have no clue what mods to take off

[unborn smelt]

Yeah I know that but I need to transfer stuff off of it..

[olive talon]

It automatically uploads to your cloud.

[unborn smelt]

Yes I said it's not working

I have all the settings done right and it still doesn't work.

I have gotten 3 people to look at the instance and it's set up right but no items will transfer off.

It doesn't make sense that I can transfer perfectly fine and use club ark on my cluster but I can't travel off with anything earned even though all the transfer settings are done right.

[hot hazel]

Do the dev plan to give us more options to customize club ark ?

[unborn smelt]

can anyone please answer this?

[toxic hazel]

If cannae port forward might be under a cgnat by ya isp

[teal quarry]

does anyone have rough estimates for the other maturing and stuff for 60x maturing

because an entire wyvern has grown up and its not ready to imprint :(

[vital mantle]

I could give u some settings I configured in beacon. I could just take a picture of the stats for you. Like what mating interval, breeding interval and speed multipliers and stuff. I have my server set to 1 imprint every animal, 100% imprint everytime.

[teal quarry]

yeah please

[vital mantle]

Inbox sent. Won’t let me post in here

[thorny fox]

Hi i am sure this must have been asked before but I play on a server (I am not the admin but trying to find a fix) and the max level dino is supposed to be 300 but I think the server setting is having an issue and due to that nothing over level 150 spawns in the wild. Can someone please help with exactly what settings need to be changed in order to fix the max level cap to 300.

[vital mantle]

If u already changed the setting to make higher Dino’s. U have to restart the server. Turn it on and off. Then u have to force respawn all wild dinos

Their not spawning in because there’s already low level dinos taking up all the spots. Once them dinos die they will be replaced by higher levels if that makes sense

[thorny fox]

Thank you for getting back but the admin did the wild dino wipe already, I think the setup is done incorrectly so I was looking at what changes are needed in the ini files for the max level to be changed

[quick escarp]

You may also want to install a mod that allows you to skew the dinos towards the higher end. Otherwise you have range of 1-300 instead of 1-150 so there are a lot of low level dinos still. I’m at work so I can’t tell you what we use but we are using 1-240 heavily skewed to higher dinos.
Do bear in mind that if you bump Dino levels up, you will have level 500 alphas in the caves and all the trash mobs in boss fights will be twice as rough too. Makes for some fun fights tho

[thorny fox]

Thank you as well and yes I was able to convince the admin to install the custom dino level mod, but idk what settings they have done for the mod but it's not working either. So either server setting or mod setup settings would really help us. We are ok with the higher levels in caves and mob fights but we just want higher wild dinos to tame because all we see is under level 100 in the wild and off chance we see a 145 or 150 dino in the wild but nothing higher

[teal quarry]

does anyone know how I can add custom recipes? I'm not using beacon just gportal

the only things I can find use a website which doesn't exist anymore

[quick escarp]

I’ll look it up this evening and let you know.

[thorny fox]

Thank you very much

[wise kindle]

Also be sure that the setting MaxDifficulty is set to false. This is a setting thats meant for single player and it will cap your max dinos to 150 when used on a server.

[vital mantle]

@thorny fox tell them to get the beacon omni. In there it lets u do all of that. It has a “difficulty” setting. And you can adjust it to whatever u want. For example I got mine set on wild lvl 600 which makes wyverns max lvl 899 but I have difficulty set at 1.0 min and override at 20.0 and that’s giving me Dino’s from lowest to my highest of 600. Keep in mind certain Dino’s are effected differently. Like smaller Dino’s. Bats and stuff will be lvl 1k but not common. If u set some interval to 5.0 in there. It’ll make 5 Dino’s spawn at each spawn instead of 2 so you’ll get 5x the amount of Dino’s. Which is a lot. The more Dino’s you increase your server with. The more lag you have.

[thorny fox]

Thank you for the detained explanation I will check it out and suggest the same to the admin

[wise kindle]

And check MaxDifficulty

It will cap your dinos to 150

[thorny fox]

You mean the check box? I was reading on nitrado forums to uncheck the "use maximum difficulty" box and than set the difficulty offset etc settings.

[wise kindle]

You need both set but ppl set this for true mistakenly. Setting it to true will cap your dinos to 150 no matter what you set elsewhere.
But yes in Nitrado General settings you UNCHECK the MaxDifficulty box to get levels over 150.

[bleak ivy]

also don't use offset, keep that at 1. override it.

[thorny fox]

Yea so I think that's the issue we have on the server. I have asked admin to check that let's hope for the best. Thank you for your help and response. If that fixes the issue I will be sure to come and let you know here

[bleak ivy]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty

[wise kindle]

This as well.

[wet knot]

Bumping this because we cant get it to work still :c
Does anyone have any potential soltuions? Its all properly installed and the correct permissions are given. But no one can transfer anything off the map. it doesnt appear in inventory OR the obelisk

[wise kindle]

Nitrado?

[wet knot]

Nah we are using AMP, but its the equivalent of just using normal server tools.

We have set the entire thing up correctly and its clustered within our server. All the other servsers allow you to upload and download things properly in the obelisk but.. club ark doesnt seem to send things to your character when you download FROM club ark back to your main character.
You are meant to make a new character on club ark when you join it from another server on the cluster, right?

[bleak ivy]

yes, also ark data is account based not survivor based.

[wet knot]

Yeah I thought that was the case

[wise kindle]

Ah ok no idea. I only know Nitrado.
Nitrado has a special server type specifically for Club Ark. was going to confirm if thats what you had.
I dont know about self hosted.

[wet knot]

It should be tied to the account rather than the survivor, which makes it even more confusing.
Because when you get stuff on club ark it says it gets automatically uploaded but once you go back to your main character and check the obelisk theres nothing there :(

[bleak ivy]

could just be your server manager, haven't used one for ASA. heard most have issues.

[bleak ivy]

have you tried putting stuff into it?

[wet knot]

well thats the thing, we are the server manager lol.
We are running it off of a mach ine using self hosting techniques

[wet knot]

Putting stuff into the obelisk on club ark or on other maps?

[bleak ivy]

other maps

[wet knot]

On other maps it works completely fine, I can upload an item on the Center and download it on the island ETC

which makes it all the more weird..

[bleak ivy]

AMP is a server manager.

[wet knot]

Oh I see, I was more under the impression that AMP was just a virtualisation to allow me to manage the server. But I see what you mean

[bleak ivy]

club ark only has club ark on it mod wise?
make sure club arks settings are the same as everybody elses.

[kindred shale]

does anyone want to play a psn server with me looking for people who want to play. PVP SERVER

[wet knot]

Yup, club ark has the same settings as every other map.
Ive tried it with Just club ark as the Mod ID and with ALL the mod ID's and neither of them work :c

[bleak ivy]

you only want club ark.

[wet knot]

Yeah even with just the club ark mod ID though it still doesnt work sadly

[bleak ivy]

yeah, sometimes they bring issues with them.

[wet knot]

stinky AMP

[wise kindle]

Adding the other mods may create other issues. Just so you know. Its meant as a stand alone mod.

[wet knot]

Thats true!
I originally ran the instance of Club ark with no other mods other than the Club ARK Id itself

and it still didnt allow transfers

Sorry for the rather impossible question its just very puzzling

[wise kindle]

Might want to change that permanently to only that mod. Its how its meant to run.

[wet knot]

Yeah agreed, ive put it back to only having its one mod. ill have to try again and see if it works but it did not the last time sadly

[wise kindle]

It likely wont fix it if your manager is in the way but it will prevent other issues.

[wet knot]

True that

[bleak ivy]

I'd say re-setup all the transfer related settings, if you can get to the ini make sure there are no duplicates.

make sure its clustered as well

[wet knot]

Yeah that'd be an idea. im pretty certain I removed all instances of duplicates but I will double check that.

Yeah its clustered, its got the same ID and all. Because it also shows up on our clusters list when you press the club ark button

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure club ark is special in showing there.

[wet knot]

Yee

[bleak ivy]

heard some other people have seen club arks they didn't own but maybe they were nitrado and both were unclustered 🤷

[wet knot]

Oh how strange, yeah thankfully we dont have that issue. Only our club ark shows up when joining and only our servers show up when leaving

So its clustered correctly, its just very strange and specific these issues im having.. I thought it was a Wildcard issue because they posted about fixing similar issues we were encountering! But once we updated and tried again it still didnt fix it

Thank you for the help y'all! Ill... let you know if theres any conclusive resolvements :3
(if not im going to throw club ark at a wall lol)

[jaunty ocean]

how do i make it so my server can be seen on xbox

[bleak ivy]

servers by default are crossplay on all platforms. if you are self-hosting make sure player dedicated (not exact) is checked. and xbox only is unchecked. the rest of the filters for your server.
after you search, press the refresh button as well.

[river tinsel]

anyone having issue regarding the custom craft, the custom craft in my game.ini is working on island but it doesn't work on the other maps ?

[delicate sage]

I’ve had an issue with 3 clustered servers lately as of yesterday. All been up for a week just fine and suddenly just the Club Ark shows as joinable (vs 55.16). All three show online on battlemetrics. I checked my router pinholes and everything. The server says it’s up and running.

[slate bridge]

If i put a premium mod on my server like the new medival one, does everyone on the server have to buy it ?

Also anyone having issues when you transfer from one map to another on unoffical, they crash/timeout and then you can log in

[shadow vortex]

I wanna set up my own cluster on asa. Never done this before can anyone help out? This will also be through my own dedicated PC and not 3rd party.

[distant hearth]

what do you mean by custom craft as in how much a recipe costs? do you use stack mod?

[distant hearth]

have you tried joining them with
open <ipadress>:<port>
you wud need to remove the password to test that though

[distant hearth]

yes everyone wud have to buy it to play on server

[river tinsel]

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts

[distant hearth]

depedning on how the servers are setup depends how you cluster them

[river tinsel]

same game.ini, same mods on all server but only island is working

[distant hearth]

do you use a stack mod at all ?

[river tinsel]

nope i've tried with only one mod (Cyber structures)

[distant hearth]

ok thats weird , if the code is correct it shud work fine

[river tinsel]

i know i've tried everything...

[wise kindle]

Tried it without the mod?

I only mention this cuz I know that mod does a lot of things, dont know if it effects it or not.

[river tinsel]

yeah but it's not logic cause on Island, it's working with every mods

[distant hearth]

100% sure its in the correct place of the game.ini? theres two headers in there for asa so putting it at the bottom wont always work

[sharp canopy]

Anyone lookin for a coder?

[river tinsel]

it's at the end of the game.ini under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

i mean everything is under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

[distant hearth]

yea thats the correct one

[wise kindle]

post your code

[river tinsel]

only the map change

[delicate sage]

I will try it when home.

[delicate sage]

When you say open, where am I putting this command?

[river tinsel]

can't post here

too big

[distant hearth]

oh yea , in the commad console

[distant hearth]

dm me a copy from a server its not working on, will take a look

[river tinsel]

Done

[distant hearth]

kk will take me a while will dm back

[river tinsel]

Great thanks 🤞

[broken plank]

Hello guys, how to trigger transfer cooldown (the 15 min timer) on dedicated servers?

Also, how to make Kibble for example be a "transfer once" item like on officials? In a sense that you can move a kibble to a different server but cannot get back with said kibble.

Didnt find this information anywhere

Tried starting the servers with -UseItemDupeCheck but no luck

[broken plank]

This transfer cooldown setup must be really obscure, can't find info anywhere

[wise kindle]

Not sure any of that can be set for hosted servers as the timer is based on the time between official saves, which is 15 minutes. If it is available it would be listed it in the wiki.gg server configuration pages.

[prisma slate]

Could anyone possibly point me to what may be the problem? I think it's a port forwarding problem. I recently added a second map (scorched earth) I'm able to join it but other members can not. I've forwarded 7787 as I believe that's what the new map needed. Is there possibly another port I'm missing?

The ones that are currently forwarded are 7777-7778 and 7787-27016 the tool I use is suppose to handle this for me, but maybe I or it missed something?

Possibly just missing another port? Or is it possibly something else all together? I use the the ASCT for my servers. Unfortunately can't post a screen shot for context. I have both servers running together though, incase there's a possible problem there? But since I can join I want to think it's just a missing port? But I'm not sure which one at this point it would be. Query maybe? For scorched? I did just add 27016 Anyone else I guess use the ASCT tool and run into this kinda thing?

Mainly asking despite trying the second port, cause I can't test it quite yet, but just want to try and narrow it down.

The other server has been joinable and working, kinda uncertain why the scorched earth one isn't letting others in.

[distant hearth]

is it for ark ascended or ark evolved?

[prisma slate]

Ascended

[distant hearth]

ascended only uses the one udp game port ,it doesnt use or need any others except the rcon port if u want to use rcon .
search the server name on battlemetrics website, it will tell you what port its running on.
by default they use 7777udp for the first instance running , then 7778 for the second one started, and so on , unless otherwise set
alot of the managers dint set the ports right early on, not sure if they do now

[prisma slate]

Gotcha, yeah I'll take a look. I know for my abberation map it forwarded 7777-7778 but I'll dig and see if maybe it's using something else. Been waiting for my users to help me further test.

[distant hearth]

not sure why it wud do that as it wud only 7777 if thats what its running on .
its easy enough to do them manually , i wudnt trust a tool to do it an u will have to manually do it in your router anyway

its prob using old ase server commands an potentially not setting the port how u want , that seems most common thing managers/tools get wrong

[prisma slate]

Probable. Guess we'll see here when I can. Ports the only thing I could conclude to as well.

Thank you!

[broken plank]

But what about the consumables being a "transfer once" item? Potions Kibbles etc

I read the entire server config page

Found nothing

If it's not on server config page does it means it's impossible to replicate this behavior?

[distant hearth]

probably, ive never seen settings for that sort thing, maybe a mod or plugin can do it, but dont know for sure .
that page has the majority of settings that are known

[broken plank]

I see

Played on officials for so long that I find weird being able to transfer potions kibbles and consumables without any penalty

Between servers in a cluster

[distant hearth]

i just looked through beacon an cant find any settings for it there either so , they either dont exist for unoffical or are just unknown

[broken plank]

Does that means any dedicated server around here runs like this? No cooldown to transfer on ob, no penalties on consumables etc?

Thank you for looking it up, sir

[distant hearth]

yea it wud seem so, i dont ever remeber there being a cooldown on items ,just dinos and played unoffical for years .

[broken plank]

Ok, thanks

[wise kindle]

Yeah ive never seen a setting for that.

[wet knot]

Hello ive got a really confusing question

so im setting up the ItemStatClamps using Beacon, and the thing im meant to put in game.ini isnt syntax corrected?

ItemStatClamps[1]=59400
ItemStatClamps[2]=39600
ItemStatClamps[3]=65530.000000000

I just put this at the bottom of Game.ini correct?

[slim turret]

help 😦 other players on my cluster (self hosted) cant join the Aberration server anymore... I can join the server without any problems.. I deleted all the mod aswell as the whole map folder with the WPs and tribe datas in any case something got boken there but didnt helped :/ I also moved the Map to one of the other cluster maps but the problem stays.. JUST with ab, they can join the other maps without any problem

[wet knot]

can someone walk me through stat clamp like im 5 years old pls i hate it lmao

[thorny fox]

Admin confirmed after unchecking the MaxDifficulty box higher level dinos are spawning, thank you both for your help!!

[wise kindle]

Np

[distant hearth]

gameusersetting.ini under the header
[serversettings]
ClampItemStats=true

Game.ini under header
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
ItemStatClamps[1]=19800
ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

if you want them like offical use

[wet knot]

thank you 😭

[distant hearth]

np , edited as missed the toggle off lol

[distant hearth]

search for the map name on battlemetrics website an find out what port the server is actually running on

then makle sure thats forwarded correctly

[slim turret]

Port is 7778 in my script an on this website and they cant join the map if I put it on one of the other servers

[distant hearth]

so you changed the port to a port u know works for another map an it wont work still?

that other map wud have be shut off for it to use the port

[slim turret]

I dont changed anything with ports or stuff like that, I just changed the map name today from ScorchedEarth_WP (which was running SE the last weeks) to Aberration_WP and copy pasted the savefolder for tribe- and mapdata.. like I do with all maps we use

[distant hearth]

usually if only you can join local an not anyone else its a port forwarding issue

f its asa it only uses the one udp port for connecting , thats set with -port=xxxx , where xxxx is the port number u want to use, this then needs to be forwarded in udp, through windows defender firewall, you router(anything else between device an internt)(plus any antivirus/malware you might use)

[slim turret]

I dont changed the port or did anything else and the problem begun with just one player a day after his character vanished while transfer from center to AB, the others players dont had this problem first. Another player also lost his character while transfer and than all others are also unable to move to AB

They see the AB server, they can join the server but the game is crashing for all of them.. even if they try to log on directly on ab

[distant hearth]

crashing is a differnt issue to not being able join

[slim turret]

yeah sorry that was a bit missleading 😅

[distant hearth]

crashes the server or just the player ? which ever way it wud seem like corrupted .arkprofiles tbh

[slim turret]

just the player, but they all have this problem (beside me)

Ideleted all profiles from the AB map to see if there is any corrupted

We had some weird issues the last weeks with transfer... I got the classic "empty" inventory bug on center and wasnt able to respawn in my bed.. another player had empty storages on AB...

[distant hearth]

what about data in the shared cluster directory ?
using any mods that might cause it ?
have they tried making a new char on ab an seeing if still crash ?

[slim turret]

they cant join the AB server, they get the crash every time they try, either tranfser or log in straight onto AB

Where can I find the shared directory? or are these the files with numbers and latters in the cluster- cluster name folder?

[distant hearth]

yea those are the eos id for each player in that folder ,
if they cant make a new char without crashing thats an odd issue.
id try without any mods first if you use any ,

[slim turret]

thats the first thing I tried, I cleared the modlist and than deleted the whole savegame, but I will try if they can join after deleting the eos ids

It cant be the playerprofil on one of the other servers, right?

[distant hearth]

unlikely if they cant make a new char

those ids contain data for anything they have in upload across the entire cluster, so back them up before deleting for test

[slim turret]

sure 🙂 I hope this will fix this :/

[delicate sage]

Disabling password. Gave it a test and it says invalid password. So I assume I can see it that way. What would cause that?

[distant hearth]

if it say invalid password the server still has password set, it is a way to test if the server is running fine is all , if u can join the server that way you know its actually online an running fine

[delicate sage]

Joined it

With password disabled

Why wouldn’t it show in the directory?

[distant hearth]

not sure , others have been having issues too with servers not showing up

[delicate sage]

I used the local ip. Should I try Public ip?

[distant hearth]

i dont know , im terrible at networking, just what ever ip the server shows as running on in battlemetrics , thats the one used by everyone to join

[delicate sage]

Got it. It should be public one then. The computer probably has to go out beyond local to broadcast the server parameters.

[distant hearth]

yea ,it must do that through the .exe somehow as they often show up on the public lists without having the port they use for incoming connections forwarded .

that actually might be something worth checking, that the server.exe is still allowed through windows firewall

[delicate sage]

Yes, I checked that. Win firewall is forwarding all ports. It’s showing the correct external IP on battlemetrics. I noticed there was no query port specified in the launch .bat so added that. Thought that might be it but no dice.

It’s weird that Club shows up not not the other two. The other two have essentially the same settings with the ports offset.

[gray pond]

hi

can somebody help me pls, i want to play in a non dedicated server w my friend and it doesnt let me play it

[distant hearth]

asa dont use a queryport, thats for ase steam server listing, asa uses eos,Epic online services.
what i dont know is how the server sends the data to eos to tell it its online an them to put it in the server listing page , i suspect with a few people now having similair problem its an issue on eos end of things, since battlemetrics picks the servers up no problem

[celest halo]

more then likely an ark thing, im pretty sure battlemetrics gets its info from EOS

[wise kindle]

Non dedicated is known for constant connection issues so this is expected.
Are you on ASE or ASA?
And what platforms do you both have?

[gray pond]

what is ASE and ASA

we both have the game thru epic games store

[wise kindle]

Ark Survival Evolved
Or
Ark Survival Ascended

Ah ok you are ASE

[gray pond]

we both have evolved

yes

[wise kindle]

Yeah so non dedicated is known for constant issues.
Tbh you are better to find a dedicated server to play on imo. The connection issues wont go away even if you do get connected one day. Its a constant battle.

[gray pond]

sooo we can try it and try and eventually it gon work but its not stable

[wise kindle]

It might work but then when you go to play again, its the same story. Its never consistent.
If you have the time to keep trying go for it. But if you dont, look at the unofficial pve dedicated server lists.

[delicate sage]

Guess I’ll take out that query port then lol.

[distant hearth]

server just ignores anything it dont need aslon as format is correct but yea , not needed,
are you naming the servers something weird? using special chars or anything like that ?
its so odd that the clubark one lists but none of the others

do you run seperate installs for each server? Tried a fresh server install? i presume there all on the latest version since u can join via ip:port

[delicate sage]

Looks like it took out QueryPort without me having to remove it.

Might be a little strange. They are listed as Shinma’s_Island, Shinma’s_Scorched, and Shinma’s_Club

[distant hearth]

the two things id try are, a fresh instal and/or just using say "shinmasIsland" for a test

[delicate sage]

I’ll see what happens. I’m not sure how to handle the cluster save dir back up.

[distant hearth]

Start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="myservername" -port=7778 -winlivemaxplayers=10
i know without the quotes around the sessionname in batch file it doesnt like any spaces,special chars etc

[delicate sage]

I’ll try the quotes

First, then fresh install

[deep turtle]

What version should my ark server be for nitrado ?

[delicate sage]

Quotes didn’t work.

[distant hearth]

#patch-notes v55.16

[deep turtle]

Thank you

@distant hearth

[delicate sage]

Fresh install didn’t seem to work either.

[jade osprey]

Recently launched an ASA cluster on a windows box, we ended up experiencing the profile loss issue when players would transfer between maps. The pinned message apparently offers a fix for this, but I am unsure of those parameters should be added as launch parameters or pasted in a config file, it does not clarify.

[celest halo]

It says to add them to your command line, so they launch parameters

[wise kindle]

If the modder did not provide a way, you are stuck with it.

[wise kindle]

This is a bug with ASA non dedicated and you will have to wait for them to patch it. Probably wont be looked at for a very long time tho. Non dedi isnt a priority game mode.

[spare raft]

It's not a mod .. it's a vanilla item ...

[wise kindle]

Ok to edit vanilla items would require a mod to add this functionality.

[frail heron]

is it possible to restrict RCON-commands only for the server where the ARK-Servers are running? Meaning, that I cannot call RCON from another machine?

[celest halo]

Firewalls are very good at blocking external sources from connecting to a port on a computer

[delicate sage]

You would restrict the RCON ports on the router and leave open on defender firewall. In the custom launch .bat you can indicate the port you use for RCON (27020 is default and increment by one for each server thereafter). You would modify the inbound/outbound rule for Ark Ascended server to block the RCON port in question.

[shrewd mural]

Having an issue with people duplicating by transferring fast between servers, is there a way to put on say a 20-30minute timer on unofficial clusters on items? i can't seem to find anything but would appreciate any help 🙏

Boosting because same 😩

[distant hearth]

Unfortunately not possible for unofficial. maybe theres a mod or plugin that can do it,
other than just gonna have warn players that if caught doing it on your servers they will get punished, banned or w.e action u want to do

I've been checking it and it just won't let me mount the dreadmare on my server

[flint bramble]

Just dropping in with a quick question. Is there any reason why a player on Series X wouldn't be able to connect to my dedicated server, even though clients on PC Gamepass can? I don't think its a port forwarding issue, since the PC gamepass clients connect just fine, but the Series X clients get a timeout when trying to connect. I do have crossplay enabled for ALL consoles/storefronts. The Series X client also appears to have the same game version that my wife and I have on pc, as well as the other PC gamepass client that is connecting remotely.

Sorry for the wall of text. lol;

[bleak ivy]

ASE or ASA? mods? if they aren't on the same LAN network then it could be a port-forwarding issue.

[flint bramble]

ASA, no mods. My wife and I are on the same lan as the server, but ive had a friend connect from his house over an hour away on PC Gamepass. Now that I have other friends on Series X trying to connect, they keep timing out. I've tried disabling battleye, and specifying which crossplay systems/stores to allow, or just allowing all of them and no change.

[upbeat compass]

they have a server ad section for this... https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/1110925695900713072

[humble thicket]

what is the alternative to nitrado? I'm fed up with them - they change my IP whenever they want and something still doesn't work

[bleak ivy]

if ASE steam/epic there are a few options like gportal. always will suggest self-host if you can.
if ASA, self host is your only option other then nitrado. you can also rent the hardware and self-host on that as well

[humble thicket]

its selfhosted can be linux ?

[bleak ivy]

I don't use linux but it does say linux on the dedicated server page

[celest halo]

ASE can be native linux, ASA don't have linux binaries

[gloomy kernel]

Hello, we on the console have the problem with ASA that only half of the servers are displayed. Does anyone also have these problems?
We have the servers at Nitrado

[heady flax]

Hey yes, the same problem with the Xbox. All my servers are not displayed, only others..

[gloomy kernel]

Showing 4 cards Forglar, Astreos, The Center

The rest of the servers are shown to me as online on the Nitrado dashboard but do not appear in the list:
The Island, Scorched Earth, Amissa, Svarthalfheim

[bleak ivy]

yeah, people were saying that for a while, thought it was added.

[heady flax]

I have the same problem! But I don't think the problem has anything to do with the map; it's just that there are random servers that aren't displayed.

[gloomy kernel]

Yes, that means waiting for patch or bug fix
Wonder if PC players have the same problem

[heady flax]

I think this only affects consoles because our updates are always available a little later than PCs. I think the error is with nitrado, because if it was an Ark update problem it would have to affect all servers and not just a few individual ones.

[gloomy kernel]

In any case, thanks for the quick reply. 😊
For the time being, there is no choice but to wait

[heady flax]

I found the solution!!! Make a new cluster ID and the servers are back 😁

[paper nymph]

Hey everyone, just installed the game, and the Mods List page isn't loading or doing anything? Its just blank.
Does anyone know why this could be or how to fix this?

[ashen moth]

Does anyone know how to enable active colors? The server does not refresh the active color dino

[wise kindle]

Have your friends do it then.

[opal condor]

Does anyone know a sollution to a gitch in my world my whole ragnarok world reset to day 1 my survor is level 1 al dinos gone same for structures i still have files from the map but dont know how to fix it or what to do with it. oh i forgot to mention i randomly spawn on a mountain this is the second time this happend the first time i spawned on the same mountain (Im pretty new new)

[jagged arch]

If i upload stuff on a nitrado server and switch map, will everything thats uploaded still be there like character, dinos etc?

[distant hearth]

if you didnt get it working yet , shud be like this
ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Bermuda Triangle"?ServerAdminPassword=xxx -WinLiveMaxPlayers=50 -Port=7777 -NoBattlEye
You have a space in the seesion name so its needs quotes around it
?listen and ?queryport arent needed
at the end of query port u have a ?, so the server is waiting for a ?command
serveradminpassword is set with ?comannd not, space-command and must be the last ?command string
-log does nothing

[shy socket]

hey man, thank you so much. Saddly i already solved that problem and another appeared. It must be my Hardware, because if i setup exactly the same server on my gaming pc, the server is working. I had to connect locally and shutdown the server for getting .ini Files.

But i can‘t login into my server because it‘s in another Network at Hetzner.

Any idea?😅

[distant hearth]

if your running it on windows server version you need to do this , https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Windows_Server_editions
must also be win server 2019 or newer i believe

[shy socket]

It runs on my Win Server 2022 VM. Everything is set up with Proxmox.

[distant hearth]

no idea on virtual machines and im hopeless with linux , but you will have two firewalls to contend with, maybe 3 , what ever windows uses, what ever version of linux u have uses , possibly the vm software and then hetzner own system
It shud be noted that ark ascended only uses the one UDP port with incoming connections, set with -port=xxxx where xxxx is the udp port you want the server to use

queryport is an old ase command for steams server listing

asa runs on eos system for server listing

[cyan girder]

I want to open bro I need to wait my friends to play

[wise kindle]

Non dedi isnt very consistant. I cant really recommend any way to fix that, sorry.

[cyan girder]

So can anyone know how can I fix this

[shy socket]

Yes you are right, i have two Firewalls (Windows and Hetzner). You can put it directly without linux in between, thats quite nice with a dedicated IP for the VM.

Wow thank you, you helped me a lot! I listened to the ports and thought my problem are the ports because it shows up only 7777. My problem could be further the VM then and i have to search. THANKS!😁

[distant hearth]

you can try to use this command from in game to join ,
open <ipadress>:<gameport>, i.e open 196.145.12.55:7777 to join server ,
you can search the server name on battlemetrics website and see if its listed there an what ip adress an port the server uses also.

i suspect with the windows on the vm you will still need to install the certificates from the link i gave in a previous reply

[shy socket]

its not showing up, i checked that. Neither i checked the whole process without firewalls just to be sure. I think it has to be a software problem on the VM or something. Maybe you have an answer for things i‘ve read in the internet.

Do i need anything except SteamCMD, the server itself and the two softwares C++ and visual studio? Maybe it‘s because of an incompatibility because of drivers or OS

[jovial zephyr]

anyone know how to fix a black map?

[distant hearth]

steamcmd is just used used to install and update the server

The arkascendedserver.exe is the actual server process

If the correct software wasnt installed then the server likely wudnt run, usually when correctly intsalled and running they will have green status dot in the server window and say in the console window line somewhere ,
advertising to join .
Did you do the certificate install from this link correctly ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Windows_Server_editions

[shy socket]

No i don‘t have installed any certificate. But the Server is not starting anyway, i have an orange dot and it says ticking loop. On my gameserver it wasnt a problem, i have connected with ingame console and manually connect.

[distant hearth]

what batch file are you using to start the server on the vm ?

[shy socket]

thats my batchfile, yea i didnt have done any changes you've said. I will do it now 😄 i was on tv lol

start "" "C:\arkserver\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe" TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=Bermuda_Triangle?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27020?ServerAdminPassword=xxxx

But the exact same batch file is working on my home system so its not because of that

[distant hearth]

ok shud be fine but you stil want to quote the session name if using special char in the there just incase, plus it has all the crap it dont need as i explained earlier ,
this is better to rule out issues ,
start "" "C:\arkserver\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe" TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Bermuda_Triangle"?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27020?ServerAdminPassword=xxxx -Port=7777

[shy socket]

i tried the login with open IP:Port, it doesnt worked. I will install the certificate now maybe it works then like magic 😄

[distant hearth]

yes you will want to install the cert but that s mostly for server listing , but needs doing anyway so might aswell

by default asa servers run on port 7777udp, so although ?port=7777 seems like it works now, it wont if you try to change to another port, so use -port=xxxx so u dont get issues in future

[shy socket]

Yes i will let it on 7777 for now. What changes you've said i have to do with ServerAdminPassword? I think it should be correct, i already logged in with that.

start "" "C:\arkserver\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe" TheIsland_WP?SessionName="Bermuda Triangle"?Port=7777?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27020?ServerAdminPassword=xxxx

[distant hearth]

although that is working on port 7777 , you shud be using -port=7777 how i showed

[shy socket]

Okey thanks, i've done all that. Certificate is installed and server is still not running 😄

i will reinstall the whole thing.

[distant hearth]

only other thing i can think is to make sure the server.exe is allowed access through the windows firewall.
sry i cant be more help, im just not familiar with how it works on a vm, , if its allowing permissions to the server to connect or not etc through linux and the vm

[shy socket]

Yea i already tried that. It's ok, i like challenges and that's why i do that 😄 i won't even play on it because i setup server all the time 😄

i mean my motivation is to play on it, but mostly i'm longer on settings everything up than playing on it haha 😄

[shy socket]

NO WAY i solved the problem! I installed it with the "ARK-Ascended-Server-Manager" and it has started! I don't know, if i am allowed to pos the link in here so just google it 😄

[vital dagger]

has anyone ever had your map fog of war reset as well as all your explorer notes? It happened when my pc blue screened earlier today

[fair mauve]

I miss the structure skin for custom cosmetics. The skin for dinos and characters are there. Does anyone know where I can get it back?

[untold ginkgo]

I was told couple days ago by a moderator to message here about the issue with the uploads I was having and my message got ignored. I’m asking again for help please, somewhere I can post the video of the issue I’m having. I spent 5h yesterday reinstalling the game and I still get the same issue: my implant disappears when I transfer and I can’t upload anything or it starts flashing a message with the “refreshing inventory” and lose whatever is in the uploads just vanishes the moment I download it. Can somebody please help? This is not only affecting me but also players in my server

[bleak ivy]

just drag the skin to an empty spot should come back. at least did for me.

[distant hearth]

if its affecting other players on the server, it points towards a server side issue ....
You will need to contact who runs the server an have them look at it

[untold ginkgo]

Not everyone has it thou, it’s random players on both platforms, Xbox & Steam

[distant hearth]

that being the case the fact it happens to other players on the server still points to a server side issue imho. only way to be 100% certain though wud be to test on another cluster i guess

[cyan girder]

Guys I can open Host non-dedicated session the island server but when I exit the server game is not saving the server so everything is deleting.I redownloaded game too but nothing changed And I need to create a new character everytime if I want to play. can someone help me pls.I am not using any antivurs and I tryed to admincheat save world thing but its not worked can someone help me pls I want to play with my friends(its ase-steam)

[untold ginkgo]

So what setting could it potentially be messed up or I should look into? I haven’t changed anything so not sure what could be wrong

[distant hearth]

depends on the server, if its self hosted, nitrado or someover host provider. but Id be looking at potentionally corrupt .arkprofiles , if theres others on the server that can transfer freely between them no issues

[untold ginkgo]

Nitrado, unofficial @trail elm

[distant hearth]

u can try nitrado customer support, might get lucky

[cyan girder]

Can someone help me pls

[wide lily]

help please "client not respondet" solution?

ofi

[echo frigate]

A:SE - player cant connect.
Plenty of players on the server already, so i know its not a server side issue.

He has downloaded the game, the map, the mods, all the search criteria is good verified through screenshots that it matches mine exactly.

I have also given him the ip and walked him through putting it in his server list through steam and server doesn't show..

Also gave him our battlemetrics link, and joining through that fails.

If i look at my friends list on steam, i have the option to invite other players to play with me on the server, but when i click him on steam theres no option to invite to play.

Soooo.. what should I do now?

[distant hearth]

can they join other servers with no issues?
is it a battleye issue?if so you can turn that shit off server side

[unborn smelt]

Hiii can anyone help plz? My players on my modded unofficial clusters are having a timeout bug trying to pull dinos from transfer dinos won from club ark.

[echo frigate]

Our server doesn't have battle eye and they've tried launching with and without battleeye active.

They /can/ see other servers but they are only seeing 80 ragnarok servers.. total. So something is clearly wonky. hahaha

[distant hearth]

idk how many ase unofficial there are now tbh, but if you think its an issue maybe have them try off a differnt internet connection as a test, wifi hotspot from phone or w.e if possible

[distant hearth]

self hosted, nitrado or other?

[unborn smelt]

Self hosted.

[distant hearth]

all running from same .exe or from seperate installs/.exe

[echo frigate]

That's not an option for testing.
And I see 400+ rag servers

He's currently verifying files, which you know takes a hot minute. When he's done with that I'll try asking him to connect to an unrelated server and see if that works.

[wet knot]

We are using AMP as our server host, we can transfer every single item out of club ark apart from Cryopods. The only thing I can think of is because we have the cryopod engram disabled?

[distant hearth]

yep thats exactly the issue, you have to set the engram to like lvl 650 or w.e isnt achievable to hide it ,
if you hide the engram itself it stops them working for what ever weird ark reasons

[wet knot]

Interesting! I thought as much! Thank you for confirming before I Test!

[unborn smelt]

TYSM

[wise kindle]

Its great, then till the end of time you have to answer the constant questions about why theres an engram thats too high to be unlocked.

Fun times.

[distant hearth]

im suprised people actually notice tbh

[wise kindle]

oh yeah they ask a couple times a week. Its constant.

[distant hearth]

lol , id be tempted to just leave the dam thing in then, if there dumb arses wanna see an use an normal cryos its on them pmsl

[wise kindle]

I thought of that tbh! I was thinking of making it cost like 1000 element each.

If they want it that bad, here ya go.

[tacit cradle]

whoever made hosting a dedicated server for ark survival evolved so difficult needs to end up in the deepest parts of hell fr

dont like the fact we have a tethering feature for no reason? ah yes than just guess 30 different ports you need open on your network to host a server without it headass

[stable gate]

Does anyone know if you can host a non dedicated ASA server and go to other maps? Or will you be stuck on that map with your character?

[dire sierra]

Hi All, Can anyone tell me whether they have patched the issue with running dedicated servers on windows Server OS 2019? Last we tried there was an issue with running Unreal engine. Does it now all work?

[distant hearth]

shud work fine , just server versions need the certificate installed to list i think , see here
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Windows_Server_editions

[timid sonnet]

does anyone know how to change the amount of crafting skill per level in singleplayer?

[tribal sedge]

Anyone have any answers for why our unofficial dedicated server is running an extreme amount of CPU? It was using 200% at most and then after the dreadmare patch it started using up to 800%. We use a linux based server with a pterodactyl panel if that helps. All of my servers are starting to act up but Island is getting to be the worst.

[fair mauve]

How? I don't see the skin. So i can't drag it. I can only see the skins for Dinos and Charakters

[bleak ivy]

try reinstalling the one you have downloaded. restart ark as well (sometimes cosmetics need that after downloading)
if officials make sure that one is whitelisted (if its not your unofficial ask the owner) https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mod:Custom_cosmetics

[fair mauve]

I haven't downloaded anything. After the skin was gone I installed a Klinger mod. but it doesn't help either. Restarted the game but still nothing

[bleak ivy]

which cosmetic are you talking about then? you need to install them to use them.

[fair mauve]

I send you a DM with a Picture

[bleak ivy]

if you mean the placeholder thing, just grab the custom cosmetic structure you want and drag it to an empty spot on the left inventory.

[broken halo]

I've use windows and ram usage has increased some havnt noticed cpu usage up but have noticed extreme climb in ping across the board 😉

[fair mauve]

So i don't need the Thing? I can place the skins now. But I thought I needed it. What are the three things for then? Dino, character and for structures? I do not understand

[bleak ivy]

they are for that. it just creates a new one if you don't have it for some reason

[broken halo]

Any one else running pve servers notice decay timers have stopped working they seem to almost reset with restarts

[fair mauve]

OK. I can place the skins without the placeholder. So is it pointless or not? I just don't understand it. But thanks, at least I can place skins that way

[broken halo]

I thought my community was just a bunch of wack jobs 🙃 ( honestly they mostly are) but now I'm starting to notice it but not on all maps

[olive talon]

Enable both pve and pvp decay timers, usually fixes most bugs

[broken halo]

Thanks boss I blanked out and didn't even think of that lol 😆

[hasty hatch]

Is there a way to adjust the amount of Wild Babies spawning on my server ?
If not how to disable Wild Babies ?

[brisk verge]

Has WC disabled the auto decay functionality again? There have been no changes to my server configs, but none of the structures are showing a decay timer

[cyan girder]

Guys I can open Host non-dedicated session the island server but when I exit the server game is not saving the server so everything is deleting.I redownloaded game too but nothing changed And I need to create a new character everytime if I want to play. can someone help me pls.I am not using any antivurs and I tryed to admincheat save world thing but its not worked can someone help me pls I want to play with my friends(its ase-steam)

[delicate sage]

Non-dedicated session is technically more like peer to peer, but I do think the save is only on your side. Do you have a savedarkslocal under shootergame\saved?

[dire wharf]

community crunch 381
Breeding Changes
This one sounds scary, we know. Our Product and QA teams were freaking out about it, but generally, our intention hasn’t been to change the strength of creatures but to make the implementation cleaner. Previously, mutations were based on a creature's wild stat multiplier, and now we’ve given it its multiplier. This has led to some creatures receiving some buffs/nerfs in particular stats, but we intend to rebalance this over time as we evaluate their roles in the meta. We’ll want your feedback on that :).
We have NOT FIXED getting more than 20 mutations,*** but we removed the 255 cap* so that servers can specify a cap.** We’ll leave it as is for our Officials (255), but it’s open to adjustments.

what happened to this?

[tribal sedge]

One of our servers uses an incredible amount of ram all of the sudden. And our players have noticed issues with ping, lag and crashing. Was hoping there was a reason but looks like it is just the game being broken

[broken plank]

Something really weird happening on my dedi server right now.. It has default values for everything, but I just dropped 17 Large Crop Plots + Plant X Seeds and 4 of them suddenly became Fruitling (final stage) while the rest is still Seedling (first stage of crops). Any ideas? I'm really confused

I have no mods installed

[rustic garnet]

How can I change the level cap of the dinosaurs and the character in ASA? I'm in game.ini but I can't find it

[broken plank]

It's worth noting that was the first 4

@distant hearth any ideas Mr Willz?

[distant hearth]

not a clue, some sort weird bug is my best guess

[willow crystal]

hey is there a server setting, a mod or a plugin with which you can allow players to build right next to each other? it's about a pve server and a special housing map, players should and must be able to build very close to each other without being in the same tribe or in an alliance. in ase there was a market torch in the capitalism mod that allowed this, in asa i don't know anything about it yet.
do you know of anything?

[neon musk]

Hello, is anyone able to help me out

My server is not showing up unless i press refresh with it searched in the search bar. Initially it will only show me like 40-50 unofficial servers at a time. When it does show after the refresh, I am not able to connect because it says Lost Connectiom/Timeout connection to host.

[neon musk]

Anyone???

[cold brook]

I would check the logs on your server to make sure it's actually connectable, whether you attempt to connect appears in the log. Make sure your mods are updated, make sure all your configs etc are set up correctly including command line

To me it reads like the server hasn't initialised correctly, OR that you are having a personal issue with connectivity

[neon musk]

I restarted it , i’ll have my brother try and hop on. Otherwise idk. Is your version of Ark 55.21? or 55.17?

[rustic garnet]

I have wanted to build something underwater, but it seems to prevent me, how can I deactivate this?

Does anyone know how to enable unrestricted building?

Does anyone know if with this mod I have no restrictions on construction? Mystic Plus (M+) [(S+) Structures Plus Conversion

[last magnet]

well first give people more than ten minutes to answer, rewording is not going to make them answer faster, secondly try bIgnoreStructuresPreventionVolumes=true in [ServerSettings] in the GUS, and check EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes is false in the same section.

I presume it's a server not SP on console.

and structure mods don't remove building restrictions, they just give different looks.

[wet geyser]

pve decay timers are not going down, they go down and tick down but then reset on restart

[distant hearth]

set both the pve and pvp timers the same, seems to fix it for most people for ark reasons

[wet geyser]

ok will do, hopefully it will fix it, it is anoying to log into the server knowing a person has been gone a week and the timer is still at a point like they loged in that day

[crystal anchor]

how in the world do i add the modded skin cosmetics to my unofficial server? from what i can tell its supposed to be client side, but i cant figure out what im supposed to change server side so i can see them. its been driving me crazy xD

[rustic garnet]

Does anyone know how to enable unrestricted building?

[arctic sage]

turn on pvp, and tick some checkmarks on the server that allow you to build near stuff like drops

[robust nymph]

anyone found any ways to get the decay timers to work on pve yet?

[spare raft]

Hi it's me again. I have a new problem ... On my server I have big rollbacks in I. Wearing the connection is stable whether it is machine or client side. The server is not even at 30% CPU / GPU usage For a good month now I have this problem and I can't find where it could come from.. Any idea?

[arctic sage]

rollbacks are serverside as far as i know, since server is the boss, is there enough room to save on the server disk / are the saves getting corrupted

[olive talon]

Turn on both pvp and pve timers

[olive talon]

Cf is fine now, or should be

[wise kindle]

Serverside you do nothing.
Client side tell players to look up videos from “Mikies Gaming Oasis” on how to use the new cosmetics system.
Its confusing as hell and also note that some cosmetic mods dont seem to work with the new system and may just be broken.

[spare raft]

These are mini rollbacks in the game. The game freezes for 2 minutes and resumes as it was. We go up to 1000 ping while on the server side (machine) everything is fine and there is no loss of performance.

[broken plank]

Hello everyone, even tho CropGrowthSpeedMultiplier is default to 1.0 without even configuring it, I've configured it on game.ini to 1.0 aswell but it doesns't seems to fix. Plant X is taking way less than real time 12h to fully develop. I mean, in 1h is already on Midling crop stage.. Why is that so? I believe only CropGrowthSpeedMultiplier can influence this behavior?

I have -UseDynamicConfig on launch options to import official rates automatically on events etc.. But I don't think that would be the reason

[arctic sage]

maybe look into dynamic loading of cosmetics, that could be a cause

[spare raft]

The server lags when there is only one person connected and on a map where there is almost nothing built... that's why it's fishy

[regal iris]

Is there an Ini setting to make server voice chat global? I’ve never used the in game chat before. Always discord or Xbox app. Trying to eliminate those

[wise kindle]

globalVoiceChat=true

Lets you hear all the little kids breathing down the mic all day long.

[regal iris]

Thanks is that already in there or do I need to insert it

No little kids on my server lol

[wise kindle]

No idea tbh, its under GUS

[regal iris]

Thank you; just want to stop using the public general discord lobby and cut out half people using the Xbox app on their phones cause they are on PlayStation. Just simplify the voice chat

[brisk verge]

Hey all, is the decay timers working ok on your servers?

[pliant acorn]

Have anyone a Idea how to work the Afk-Kick-Timer on unofficial Server? The Settings in de GUS and Game.ini are right, but it dosen't work.

[broken halo]

No I'm trying to find settings in wiki right now

[brisk verge]

None of my server configs have changed and the decay timers for buildings + dinos were working fine. I'm just wondering if wildcard has changed anything in the most recent patch like they did a while ago

[broken halo]

Yes they had to of it's the same on my end I'm searching for exact lines to put in from wiki but no luck it says not asa compatible so not sure

Everyone says use both pve and pvp decay lines but wiki isn't helping for exact coding

[distant hearth]

PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1
DisableStructureDecayPvE=false

[broken halo]

Will to the rescue thanks

[distant hearth]

i havent tested it , maybe they broke it again but everyone says you need them to match

oh gameusersetting.ini btw

[broken halo]

I'm gonna test it now on one map we shall see

Under gus or game?

[distant hearth]

wait i might of given the wrong ones sry , im half asleep

[broken halo]

Ooh I can wait lol

Get that coffee going 😋

[distant hearth]

it shud just be theese two in the gus,
PvEDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=1
PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=1

i was prob thinking of something else, is that what you already an it no longer working?

[broken halo]

Yes minus the dino one it always seems to be default working without adding in that one

[distant hearth]

you will also want to check that this is set falsee,
DisableStructureDecayPvE=false

[broken halo]

And the weird part for me is some maps it's working normal and others it's resetting with restarts

[distant hearth]

ark being ark then most likely , try it with both settings in an make sure the disable is false

[broken halo]

Doing it now on 1 map to test

I'll let it run through and try and update ya on it tomorrow

[brisk verge]

those are the settings I was using, but the timers aren't showing on structures nor dinos. Do you know if WC have disabled it, do you remember they disabled it a few months ago because of an issue with the transfers?

[rustic garnet]

what is the friend option called?

[flat merlin]

hi i have an overlightning menu bug can someone help ?

[broken halo]

Not that I've seen I'm trying willz suggested fix I'll try and post what I learn tomorrow

[slate bridge]

Anyone have an issue when every time they transfer to another map on unofficial, it times out then you can enter ? Been doing it for a month or so now

[unborn falcon]

what would be the recommended specs for a PC to host servers on?

[cloud shoal]

No cryopod update yet? Only officially?

[distant hearth]

thats gonna vary greatly on how many maps, player count , mods etc etc

[distant hearth]

unoffical dont need it, we already the had option to turn the fridge requirements off

[unborn falcon]

I’m just gonna say a server for me and at most 3 others. Just one map

[distant hearth]

asa server will need prob 12-16gb ram , depending on the map, the cpu like 1 of its cores ,

[unborn falcon]

and if I’m correct you can’t run both ASA and and a server on one pc right?

[distant hearth]

the more players, mods and built up the map is, the more resources it will use

[distant hearth]

you can but you want a pretty decent pc with minimum of 32gb ram and 6 core cpu

[unborn falcon]

alright thank you

[distant hearth]

mines 32gb ram, r5 5600x and a 2080ti, can run 1 map an play on medium settings

[unborn falcon]

i got a r7 3700x, 32 GB and a 6700XT. If anything I’d need to upgrade the CPU

[distant hearth]

nah that cpu be fine, prob stronger than mine, server really isnt that heavy on cpu

well until you get into large player counts an stuff all over the map that is, for just a few friends u wont have issues

[unborn falcon]

alright thanks for letting me know. I just actually upgraded RAM just so I can use the Devkit properly so it’s good to know I won’t need to really spend much of anything to self host

[latent coral]

has anyone here configured multihome for multiple rigs on a self hosted setup?

[celest halo]

Is it still happening, is down site I check says curseforge is back up

[brazen tulip]

Thank you 🙂

[flint oasis]

ASE does have crossplay but I havent used it since ASA came out. I do apologize.

[valid rock]

idk the problem like i invite him he joins and its says invalid invite

[flint oasis]

Are you using nitrado or gportal? Or is this off of your pc? You have to open ports in order for others to join a pc server. If it is you inviting to your game that is weird...

[valid rock]

i dont use server i js go to xbox ase and singleplayer and invite him ir make a dedicated server whatever that it

[flint oasis]

I am not well versed with the consoles. And I hate telling other people this, but google server settings setup for xbox dedicated servers. You must be missing something. Good luck!

[distant hearth]

non -dedicated is notoriously buggy, its just glorified p2p singleplayer, keep trying an if u get lucky it might work, or have them try host the session

[humble thicket]

how i can auto reset wild after restart at nitrado? any .ini code pls

[distant hearth]

you can try this but unknown if it works for ark ascended
gameusersetting.ini
[serversettings]
ServerAutoForceRespawnWildDinosInterval=100

the value is in seconds , so setting it to 100 shud mean , that after 100 seconds, the NEXT time server restarts it will do wild dino wipe

Has anyone else had an issue with the Club Ark mod wiping their other servers. I've been running 4 maps and Club Ark fine. But noticed some of the award skins didn't seem to be transferring back over when characters returned. So I tried including the Club Ark mod id in the startup for the other maps thinking maybe the skins were linked to the mod. And it wiped the other map saves on server startup. Is that expected? 😂

[distant hearth]

yea it will do that since its a stand alone mod, like a modded map . remove the mod, switch back to what ever map the server was runing an hopefully your data will still be there

its not supposed to be added to other servers that are running a differnt map

[shadow bear]

That seems so weird to me. Yeah my script auto archives my saves on every shutdown so the data is safe I am back up and running.

[distant hearth]

not sure whats weird about it, its a small modded map

[shadow bear]

I guess I would just expect any other maps just to ignore map mods. Any idea where those skins are supposed to show up? They show as unlocked in Club Ark, but I cant find them anywhere when I return to a map. Said something about a wardrobe?

[distant hearth]

i have no idea now, they changed the whole system recently, some event items get made in smithy,so you wud need halloween mod on to make.
some are default survivor items and you have to respawn to make them show

#ark-survival-ascended message

[shadow bear]

Classic Ark, its never straightforward.

[abstract mulch]

I’m having trouble finding my ark Nitrado server am I doing anything wrong?

[distant hearth]

new servers can take a while to show up, search for it in unofficial , make sure you dont have xbox only selected an at the top make sure its set to all maps an all, not pvp or pve, they default as pvp

[flat flume]

did you figure this out ?

Any ideas on when fixing the dupe when people transfer with items from mods dupes the inventory

[last magnet]

I've only duped by accident when a tribemate logged in and got dc with stuff in nventory (cryos and resources for the new map) and I got the stuff out of his inventory then he got the login to stick and we had doubles of several dinos

so I imagine that's how they're duping

at least one method

[long needle]

Idk if anyone has had this issue. Im hosting a new server through Nitrado with the center and Forglar on it. Everything runs great but when steam users transfer from one map to the other and select your spawn point you can hear it load in but you get stuck on tthe map untile you get kciked to title where it shows a timeout lost connection to host error.
I feel like i tried everything on the internet to fix this. Id anyone has any clue what i can do id love some advice.
Its not a firewall issue before that comes up lol

[last magnet]

i've had that happen on a Nitrado server (the island to SE) so I think it's something on Nitrado's end that causes it. no excess inventory, engrams, cosmetics?

[iron bronze]

I take it Fear Ascended needs to be set as a passive mod, right?

[robust nymph]

It happens to xbox players too. It's been happening randomly for a few days and most of the time it dupes ya items.

[rotund scaffold]

There any mod that can help me to defend the structure from primal dinos?

[lapis quest]

Yeah, hoping that wc announces when we can remove it

[iron bronze]

I have been testing and it looks like a lot of the stuff is in the base game like the skins and stuff, but my admin panel mod isn't showing everything and I am still not sure enough to remove the mod from my main servers

But yea...hopeing they say something soon 🤞

(They need to make a server owner announcements channel really)

[lapis quest]

Tell me about the summer bash ones

I made some extra copies once the event was up and i still have them, but those ones that you get as default once spawning are all gone

I'm not sure what to do

[iron bronze]

God knows...for me it was winter wonderland skins

I hope you figure it out though!

[lapis quest]

I was still receiving them before the custom cosmetic thing was changed

That new tab is so confusing sometimes

[austere rune]

my ascended players since Aberration's release are only able to level to 95 max without ascensions/notes but it should be 105, is there a server setting that can limit max level like this? or anyone know what can cause this?

[olive talon]

Have you added any level configs or use any mods that add it?

Server owners: for the Fear Ascended event

[austere rune]

i did add exp requirement configs but they go up to 205 and don't seem to even work heh

[wise kindle]

WC thank you for the mod storage increase to 50 gigs!

Was well needed.

[lunar echo]

Yo sup guys.. Can so.eone help me with something? I am facing some issues hosting an ARK SERVER. If someone can help me figuring it out

[silver thistle]

[limpid walrus]

[silver thistle]

Confirmation I wish I didn't have to do lol

[limpid walrus]

[silver thistle]

Aww with forglar mate u probs stuck at 3111 right out 3125 or what ever ??

This is due to there last patch couple days ago just leave it and it let play out don't back out or it corrupts the mod had this for 3 hours yesterday trying to fix the server

[limpid walrus]

yikes, yea thats exactly what happened, and i already backed out once lol thanks again unintentionally

[silver thistle]

Yeah just let it play out it's annoying but better than broken lol

[wise kindle]

Has to be done to reset space. Cant do it without wiping those.
Its worth it.

[silver thistle]

Ow I'm not that bothered just lose a hour game time lol 😆 when u work 12 hours shifts 1 hour game time is alot to miss lol

[upper anchor]

Did you figure out a way to prevent/fix it?

[frail ferry]

Never, I just started using ark save viewer and looking at stuff that seemed kind of duped lol and banning the tribes

Would love a fix

[wise kindle]

The price we pay for space.

[lofty berry]

For Xbox only though by look of it 😭💔

[wise kindle]

Sony needs to step up and approve the expansion.

[lofty berry]

Have they actually said they are doing the expansion though? I haven’t read the latest crunches so if it’s been on there then Iv missed it lol

[void juniper]

So our players dont lose the zombie wyvs when we take the mod off correct? Since everything is in the gamr

[wise kindle]

They said they are working with Microsoft and Sony for the expansions. Sounds like Sony is lagging.
