Rip

[storm juniper]

ayo

[sterile anchor]

What

[storm juniper]

and they tryna cover it up

[sterile anchor]

It was a gif

[spring cairn]

Does this only affect your Extinction server? I'm having the same 0ms ping, and then timeout after joining (nothing loads).

[spring cairn]

^

[native wave]

the only time I got a timeout issue was when I didn't put the files in my center server to whitelist me for entry into the server

normally it would say I wasn't authorized, but for some reason it didn't, and instead just said the timeout

as soon as I put in the files, and rebooted the server, I got in fine

I got into my extinction server fine. It's becoming my new home since I can't play on my center server anymore without it regularly resetting to day 1

building a base and transferring stuff over...then wiping the server

[graceful gyro]

Lots of people are having this issue with only extinction, me included. Someone here earlier recommended running the server with the -usestore save method but I haven't yet seen evidence that it actually fixes the problem

[native wave]

I'm not using that save method on mine

[graceful gyro]

Haven't personally tried it yet because I like being able to see every players save data which makes for easy backups in case something happens (and something always happens) and once you use it I don't think you can switch back, at least not easily

[spring cairn]

Yeah agreed. I have had to restore player files separately to the world save on a few occasions.

Originally we did that when switching maps so we didn't need 2 servers online to transfer between.

[graceful gyro]

Yup, supposedly it's supposed to fix the issues from happening altogether because it usually happens from an error deleting the save data file and that won't happen this way but I'm still cautious

[spring cairn]

Yeah reading this message, it does sound like a arkprofile file issue.

[graceful gyro]

Which ig would make sense if people on official aren't experiencing the issue since official servers use it by default

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve been using that method since April. Willz has been using it a bit longer.

[spring cairn]

Do you find ease of moving/copying player data to other saves, etc. easy with this method?

There's a pinned message in this channel, does that BackupTransferPlayerDatas mean it will do both methods?

-BackupTransferPlayerDatas: Thats the tricky one, after many tests it was found that:
Using it creates a eosid.arkprofile on the savedarks folder, the same way as before, not that you gonna need, but they are there as an extra step in case you ever need to do a character backup.

Sounds like it.

[undone wind]

even with a brand new profile i dont think so, have tested removing the profiles and making a fresh one even reseting the map to do so and more

[jaunty vortex]

I’ve not needed to move player saves. As long as your cluster folder is setup correctly then transfers just work between maps.

[spring cairn]

Yeah we used it before we had a cluster (just 1 server) so I manually copied our player data. But we have a cluster now, so I guess I could try it.

[low dew]

theres a gui setting that needs to be set to false to otherwise you get the inf download nonsense when traveling between arks

[graceful gyro]

Have you or any of ur players experienced the timeout issues with extinction?

[spring cairn]

is this GUI setting you talk about related to using the new save method?

[spring cairn]

@undone wind I'm giving it a go now, and will report back.

[candid carbon]

ok so my game has been saying "host connection timeout" everytime i try to relog in a server i have a character on. weirldy when i respawn, it pretends like it doesnt exist. is there anything i can do to solve this? reinstalled the game, deleted all mods and it still isnt working

[spring cairn]

@candid carbon that's what we're chatting about above

[chrome tinsel]

Does anyone know what ASE server manager bots for Discord there are out there these days for PC/Steam? Or did they all die?

[low dew]

@spring cairn no its been around for a long time and the new save method isnt actually new thats been around for awhile to

notributedownloads=false is the gui setting

[spring cairn]

gotcha

[candid carbon]

sorry, didnt read all of it before, so did you get to fix it?

[spring cairn]

Well, my ping seems not be 0ms anymore, connecting now. 🤞

It didn't work, I still timed out after a bit (nothing loaded). The pinned message says to wait for the next autosave though, so I'll try again in a bit.

[candid carbon]

what exactly did you do to "try" fixing it?

it might work out for me, im really desperate right now and it bugging me out for days

[upbeat beacon]

My tribe and I are having this issue. We had another member kill us and we respawned and we're able to retrieve our items and resume from where we left off

[candid carbon]

same, been doign that too but its really annoying and idk why this bug even exists

[upbeat beacon]

Unfortunately our only solution until Ark rolls out a patch for now.

[candid carbon]

its really sad that this even is a thing, why is it still persisting after even reinstalling the whole game

[celest halo]

reinstalling the game does nothing for network connections to a server

[spring cairn]

The pinned message to do with the save -usestore

Doesn't seem to have worked for me though. The thing that worries me is the ENTIRE port times out, ARK server browser shows 0ms ping.

RCON port is open. Game port times out.

[graceful gyro]

Well that's certainly odd and shouldn't be happening... When searching mine up on the server browser it isn't 0

[candid carbon]

does it do the same when you join other servers?

[spring cairn]

We were on it earlier, all logged out for dinner. And now I can't get in and the port is closed.

Let me try join The Island one (we transferred away from)

[candid carbon]

when i join new servers with a new, respawned character it works fine, till i relog to the server

[spring cairn]

Okay, one of us was able to get in! wtf

He has 0ms ping too, but stuff seems to have loaded for them

[candid carbon]

he can kill the others so you could atleast all respawn and join in if that works out

[spring cairn]

Yeah, getting him to kill me now.

[candid carbon]

when my mate killed me, i could just respawn and play

and everytime you log off, you need to kill yourself so you can atleast rejoin

[spring cairn]

I forgot that managing an ARK server is a full-time job.

[candid carbon]

managing ark IS the full time job since the devs dont to it themself

[spring cairn]

Hopefully with the new save method should prevent this ark profile issue. (Once I've respawned my character)

[candid carbon]

oh what did you change exactly? might try it out too

[spring cairn]

Pinned message to do with the saving and -usestore etc.

At least miragedmuk/ASV was updated 16hrs ago to support the -usestore save files xD

[candid carbon]

this one?

where do i input all he commandlines?

[jaunty vortex]

Did you do the convert first time?

[spring cairn]

Yeah, all three -converttostore -usestore -BackupTransferPlayerDatas. I believe it has converted it. 🙂

[candid carbon]

where did you out the lines in? in ARKON?

[spring cairn]

I can't respawn my character, just get a black screen. This is cooked.

[spring cairn]

I use mschnitzer/ark-survival-ascended-linux-container-image so it goes in my docker-compose.yaml.

[jaunty vortex]

Ok. So once you’ve done that and issued a save world you can stop the server and remove converttostore and you should be good.

[spring cairn]

I'm finally in.

[candid carbon]

after your mate killed you or with the method from before?

[spring cairn]

The only thing I changed (since I was getting a black screen). Was in ASV, I hit these two commands -
"AllowPlayerToJoinNoCheck" and "KillPlayer" haha

But I don't know if either of those would've helped, since (a) I was already dead.

And I doubt it was the "AllowPlayerToJoinNoCheck" 🤷‍♀️

[candid carbon]

you can retry, just relog to the server and see it its still happening without being dead

[spring cairn]

Trying it now

You're right, I relogged and it has 0ms ping, nothing loads then I timeout.

So new save method doesn't prevent it.

[candid carbon]

so its most likely an ark issue and they need to fix it

[spring cairn]

Even after KillPlayer in ASV, I still can't stay connected. RIP

Guess we'll be waiting for the next patch.

[candid carbon]

which will be either today or after the holidays

[graceful gyro]

When u went to extinction did u make a new character or transfer from a different map

Because one of my players stopped experiencing this issue after they stopped using a transferred character and just made a new one on extinction, even relogged and was still able to get in

However, they only did this 6 hours ago and have only relogged twice since doing this, so it's hard to say if it's actually a solution or if the server is just being nice for now

[spring cairn]

We all transferred.

My mate was able to login fine, just me right now. The others are on a different game while I try sort this out.

I was able to get in once just before, but then logged out and back in to see if the issue persisted, and it did.

[graceful gyro]

A couple other players also transferred and they haven't had any issues with it, so it doesn't affect everyone so it's hard to say what's going on

[spring cairn]

I'm going to try brute forcing it, each time just running reconnect command, to see if it just comes down to chance

Just had one connect where players and dinos loaded, but no structures. I think if it doesn't load everything in time, it just gives up.

Just had a connect where some structures loaded, but no players or dinos.

I give up, no stderr logs or anything to go off.

[robust nymph]

How do we do this datastore thing?
I've got no idea how any of that stuff works with nitrado.

[errant ferry]

so I've got a weird problem where I've lost all my stuff in the server and I keep getting timeout. is anybody suffering from this as well I'm on a unofficial server hosted by nitrado. as well we're on a cluster and the map were i lost all my stuff was on the island

[trim yew]

Yes my only extinction server

[low dew]

@errant ferry likley nitrado it self is your problem

[spring cairn]

Yeah, I was trying to debug it for ages above, I gave up. Couldn't find a reliable fix, it seems if someone else is able to join, they can try kill off your character, then maybe you can get in, but it only worked once for me.

[charred vector]

Any fix for timeout issue ??

[errant steeple]

When I try to make a non dedicated session the game just doesn't load the map and I see nothing but the sky
I don't why that happens and it happened with me and my friend😭

[low dew]

@charred vector depends theres a few reasons you could be timing out

[charred vector]

All the players in my cluster cannot join even if I remove all mods

[low dew]

has it always been this way

are you self hosted ?

@charred vector

[charred vector]

It has been like that for only extinction map every other map is fine to join , yes I’m hosting from parsec

[low dew]

are the ports forwarded for your extinction server proporly ?

[hearty helm]

Hello, I can see there is now a fourth parameter in the custom cosmetic whitelist, is there any documentation on that anywhere? Thank you

[orchid escarp]

Hi, our max wild level is 300, so the tek creature have to be 360 like ASE? Tamed 540. But with spawn command level 300 it spawns with 540 and with 360 it spawns with 648. But thats not right

[low dew]

@orchid escarp if your spawning it in already tamed it will get its extra levels fro ma perfect tame

also spawning dinos will ignore the max level

can spawn a level 1000 with a max level of 300 lol

[orchid escarp]

But the cheat command ends with 300 and taming effect 50% it should spawn with 450 and not with 540. Thats the max tamed with wild 360. Isnt it?

[low dew]

type your command here

[orchid escarp]

Cheat gmsummon BionicRex_Character_bp_c 300

[charred vector]

Yes they are

[balmy lodge]

quick question how do i see my flak durability without having to hover over it and also how do i have my flak on the right side of my screen showing its durability?

[low dew]

@orchid escarp try this one cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rex/Rex_Character_BP.Rex_Character_BP'" 1 0 0 300

wait thats wrong

@orchid escarp this one cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rex/BionicRex_Character_BP.BionicRex_Character_BP'" 1 0 0 300

[orchid escarp]

@low dew cant copy, PS 🙈 dont work. Do you know if i can spawn with level a wild tek rex with the comman cheat summon BionicRex_Character_BP_C ?

[balmy lodge]

quick question how do i see my flak durability without having to hover over it and also how do i have my flak on the right side of my screen showing its durability?

[hearty helm]

I want to add some cosmetic mods to my cosmetics whitelist, but I don't know how to get the fourth parameter for them. My whitelist is based on the official one:

968851|1|1|364904551
968943|1|1|2209325699
972253|1|1|3587485861
1095556|1|1|???
...

[arctic sage]

it's the little line at the bottom of your armor that shows the durability, and you can't show it on the right side without maybe mods, if there are any that do that

[hearty helm]

should I just remove the fourth parameter if I don't know it? like so:

968851|1|1|364904551
968943|1|1|2209325699
972253|1|1|3587485861
1095556|1|1
...

[iron bronze]

Anyone able to get the Doggo spawn command to work? cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Packs/Wasteland/Dinos/Doggo/Doggo_Character_BP.Doggo_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150 is not working for me at all

[hearty helm]

cheat SummonTamed Doggo_Character_BP_C

[iron bronze]

Nope...dosn't work

Also, I need a wild one

[hearty helm]

it worked for me when extinction launched

didn't test since last update

but it should still work

[olive talon]

Do other commands work for you? Are you on Extinction?

[iron bronze]

Yea, not working for me at all...Although, I use Dino Depot and the command builder they made to spawn in a dino with specific stats and colours straight into a dinoball works

[iron bronze]

Yea and I tried both on The island and Extinction

[olive talon]

Very odd

[iron bronze]

Tell me about it!

[low dew]

yes the armadoggo command works not sure if you need to have bobs tall tails for it to work though

[iron bronze]

Well, I am trying to sort one out for a Patreon member so I home not! Plus, it has never been the case before

I just tried spawning a dodo and that worked fine

[low dew]

i just spawned one so the command works perhaps link the command your using

[iron bronze]

cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Packs/Wasteland/Dinos/Doggo/Doggo_Character_BP.Doggo_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150

[low dew]

thats one i used though i changed the 500 to 1

[iron bronze]

Nope...still nothing

[hearty helm]

so nobody knows how to get the CRC for a cosmetic mod? 😿 I don't see the info on curseforge

[low dew]

do you have bobs tall tails

could be the issue

[iron bronze]

No, I don't

[low dew]

to prevent people from spoofing the dlc

[iron bronze]

But the other tall tail stuff works fine

Yea, but you can't use them unless you own it...

Unless it's because it's not rideable?

[charred vector]

Doggo_character_bp_c 150 worked for me

[low dew]

true your spawning wild not tamed

[iron bronze]

Not for me

[low dew]

that command spawns em tamed

[distant hearth]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/736592-enable-custom-cosmetics-validation-on-unofficial/

[charred vector]

Weird

[iron bronze]

I mean...do I really have to buy it just so that I can provide my patreon members with the tames they want?

Do I really have to buy it just to test if that is the issue?

[low dew]

unclear to be honest

do you have another admin that has bobs that can test it

[iron bronze]

No, I don't think so

I will look into it

[balmy lodge]

yk the mod name?

[charred vector]

I think that’s the issue. As admin I have to buy all of the things like the dreadmare pyromane to spawn it , didn’t allow me before

[iron bronze]

What, like the Pyromain?

[charred vector]

Yeah I had to buy bobs and all that to spawn for others

[iron bronze]

That sucks...I will dm real quick...

[olive talon]

@balmy lodge #bobs-with-probs. This is for server setup help.

[arctic sage]

no, and i don't know if there is any that does it

[charred vector]

👍

[hearty helm]

Thank you 👍

[toxic hazel]

I've found you can only whistle command dlc tames if you do not own them, cant access them or anything

[iron bronze]

Yea, so for unoffical owners, we should be allowed to spawn them when needed really

[toxic hazel]

Ahh yea that the hard part huehue

[gentle bay]

hello, I have a problem with Ark Survival Evoled Epic Games, I can't find the server I'm looking for and I try to log in via IP and it doesn't work, how do I solve it, please help

[drifting dawn]

I applied the change on my server, I should have feedback of it tonight, so I'll @ you once I have it.

[unreal phoenix]

Hey my ark dedicated server won’t update. It says it’s on version 53.11. I tried to update through cmd but it says subscription required. Anyone know whats going on?

[severe wave]

ASADedicated Server Manager Decided to Instead of Offering everyone to Donate to them to help support them, That they now will charge you just to update your servers and Find Mods.

[unreal phoenix]

So I gotta pay to update my server?

[dusty jay]

has there been any news about winter wonder land?

[bleak ivy]

I don't think what they said is true.

[unreal phoenix]

Was about to say that don’t make much sense lol

[bleak ivy]

also 53.11 is a long while ago

that was 3 months ago

[unreal phoenix]

Yeah it’s been a minute

[bleak ivy]

probably just confused. see if you can just redownload.

[unreal phoenix]

Yeah I’ll just do that anyway I can move the map files to keep my progress?

[severe wave]

[untold granite]

have a mod question for y'all.. so if i purchase the say the livyatan premium mod for my server will it then direct my players on the server to the freemuim version or do i have to also install the freemuim version as well as the premium?

[severe wave]

My guess is that that is what they was using as its the only one i know that has a subscription

[obsidian ravine]

Im getting this trying to update my servers. Any ideas?

ERROR! Failed to install app '2430930' (No subscription)

I logged in anonymously as always.

[distant hearth]

anynone wanting to join the server will need to pay for the premium version of the mod too

[bleak ivy]

freemium shouldn't require ownership to use. its the entire point of it

[distant hearth]

its been playing up a bit, try it a few times, or reinstall stm cmd, just be careful you dont wipe any server files if u have them stored in stmcmd location
you can also just login with your gaming account details an get the update that way

[untold granite]

oh i thought the free version stopped making other players having to pay for it and still play on the server

[distant hearth]

i might be wrong, maybe its a new thing they have added

[bleak ivy]

it should. can read the documentation
#modding-announcements message
thats what it was made for. doesn't require it to join but modders can choose what parts they require.

[untold granite]

thank you.. i just wanted to make sure of the steps so i dont force anyone to have to buy anything. my luck lately i would do this wrong and and then have to remove a mod i pay for lol

[bleak ivy]

I'd just make sure its there before buying.

start a server with it and see if you can join

[untold granite]

very true.. thanks again

[devout rampart]

for the god sake, how to get rid of halloween event in the f**king Club ARK. Even with Winter Wonderland installed is still Fear Ascended

[bleak ivy]

wait until club ark is updated. don't think winter wonderland has updated yet either.

[devout rampart]

i hope will follow other server patch cycle. It's been months that i have my cluster club ark messed up.

[iron bronze]

I was just about to ask about winter wonderland lol...you know if there will be an announcement about it? (I'm guessing there will be)

[native wave]

So I've resorted to giving up on my quest to keep my Center server operational. Started moving stuff off last night after restoring the save once again. I can repeat that process of restoration for as long as I need to recover everything i want off of it. Once I do that, I'll wipe my Center server for good.

[iron bronze]

What is the issue with it?

[native wave]

It resets to Day 1 regularly on reboots

Fortunately I pulled a save off of it just prior to the extinction patch (as I did with all my servers)

[iron bronze]

Oh okay...that really sucks...at least you can recover it though ^^

[native wave]

something about the save is poisoning it and triggering the server to just start over with the map, so I think it's best if I just side step that and establish myself again elsewhere. Started by putting a small respawn hut on my Extinction server.

[worldly finch]

Any news on the Extinction Timeout Bug?

[native wave]

nothing from my end...for a short period I thought I had encountered it, but it turns out I just hadn't applied my whitelist files to my extinction server

[worldly finch]

Interesting, we've never used whitelist but i wonder if it would make any difference.....

[spring cairn]

I tried for hours many things, I gave up.

[worldly finch]

Same, it's rather upsetting

[spring cairn]

If there's a way to KillPlayer command when they're offline, that could assist in getting in.

[native wave]

I doubt it, but if you want to give it a shot, I somewhat recently reorganized the whitelisting section on the wiki https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Ark_IDs

[spring cairn]

I don't think the KillPlayer command via RCON was actually killing my offline player.

[cosmic pendant]

I have a unofficial server from a while back and I copied the settings from that server but for some reason when I start my Batch file it does not take those settings for my old save. Anyone know why that might be? I have been messing with this for a long time and cannot figure it out.

[mellow nymph]

im hoping they have some crash fixes when they drop the update today. My ab server is still crashing

[low dew]

@mellow nymph self hosted or nitrado?

send me your logs

[mellow nymph]

Self hosted, times out and crashes after a few minutes. Let me look

[low dew]

sounds like a bad mod

[jolly lichen]

hey guys, i have question plz... i have nitrado server, and i boost some setting, but they dont work... you have idée to resolve it ?

[low dew]

@mellow nymph if you have any of the ark additional creature mods can probably garentee one of em is no good

giant croc is one i can think of off top of my head

and a couple sea creatures

[iron bronze]

Dino Depot auto newborn pickup in terminals is causing server crashes too if you have Dino Depot

[mellow nymph]

yeah i ini disabled autocapture on all my servers this morning, but abb is still crashing

[iron bronze]

Make sure you don't have it so that you can change the Dino Depot settings in game...cos that means the Dino Depot save file will override the ini settings

[mellow nymph]

hmmm, i have the base game deino on there, but not the mod, i removed it when it went official

[low dew]

ah okay didnt realize it went official

[mellow nymph]

thanks ill check that!

[low dew]

probably ok then

[mellow nymph]

i dont see anything fishy in the log files

[low dew]

send me the log for your abb server in a pm

[iron bronze]

Best bet would just be to backup and delete the Dino Depot save file and then try

As long as you have the auto capture disabled ini, you should be good to go

[jolly lichen]

anyone have nitrado server ? pls

[low dew]

might be worth going over to the nitrado discord

or put in a ticket

[sterile anchor]

Still no fix to the black screen?

[prisma aurora]

Yo why when I press launch on steam the game does not show on but the music does?

[cosmic pendant]

I could really use some help. My daughter wants to play with me but the server settings are messed up. 😦

[iron bronze]

All messed up?

[cosmic pendant]

I started a unofficial server through steamCMD. For some reason it stopped working and would not update. I started from scratch and made a new batch file. I copied the settings and the save file from the old server. I got the old save to work but for some reason the Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini will not work.

By not work I mean it is still default settings

[iron bronze]

When you say will not work, you mean that the settings in the inis are not applying? Are you sure they are in the correct directory and that there is nothing from your old server like rcon password that doesn't match the new server?

[cosmic pendant]

I put the settings in the same spot I found them through the help of a video on youtube. I used the same password and server name. I have tried to start the server fresh and copy paste the text in the GameUserSettings.ini that is created fresh but nothing seems to change. I had everything working great before I started a new batch file.

I am new to this whole thing and it has made me very frustrated.

[low dew]

where you hosting your server

on a pc?

[cosmic pendant]

yes a laptop

[low dew]

download windows gsm and get the asa plugin

[cosmic pendant]

using SteamCMD

[iron bronze]

Might be better to let the server generate new files and then only change the settings you want rather than copying and pasting everything

[low dew]

ya windows gsm will handle that

[iron bronze]

Or beacon ^^

[low dew]

and make sure your not making a mistake in configuring

sounds like you might benifit from a server manager rather then trying to write a batch file on your own

[cosmic pendant]

Ok so allow it to start fresh and add lines to it?

[obsidian sandal]

Hey all. Anyone able to recommend a server manager that works well? Only looking at free ones ATM but if a paid one is out of this world fantastic I'll look at that too

[low dew]

windows gsm

[cosmic pendant]

I had it working fine before it stopped updating

[iron bronze]

I mean, maybe go for gsm...I don't know anything about hosting on steam cmd

[low dew]

i like it cuz its basic

[cosmic pendant]

What is gsm

[low dew]

and easy to set up

windows game server manager

[iron bronze]

I like beacon but I have never tried gsm so

[cosmic pendant]

it is a app on windows or something?

[bleak ivy]

the last manager somebody mentioned here went premium only

[iron bronze]

I can't give you the link lol

[low dew]

type in google windows gsm it will pop up

[cosmic pendant]

it is for free?

[bleak ivy]

most likely.

[iron bronze]

Looks like it's free

[bleak ivy]

I just meant be careful since its third party and they can change whenever they want.

[low dew]

gsm has been free forever and will probably stay that way

[cosmic pendant]

So it works similar to SteamCMD?

[bleak ivy]

steamCMD is how they are downloaded no matter what. (if you own steam ASA then the server files are also in your library)

the manager just does the config setup for you (assuming it works like ASM did for ASE)

[mellow nymph]

do you know what that setting is by chance? Its def the autocapture crashing it, i have it disabled but theres still something overriding that ini

[quaint swallow]

hey can ayone help me with a glitch. i am curently trying to log into my freinds nitrado sever and the base is gone and i have no engrams

[bleak ivy]

might've told the game to ignore ini with the config ingame?

[low dew]

@quaint swallow id join the nitrado discord or put a support ticket in with there support

[iron bronze]

It's the dino depot save file...what do you host on?

[cosmic pendant]

Thank you for yyour help

I should put GSM on the laptop I had SteamCMD on?

[low dew]

@cosmic pendant dosnt matter give it its own folder

it will download steamcmd on its own

you will have to get the asa plugin for it

[mellow nymph]

i use tc admin. i have the save file. just delete the mod setting folder? just dont want to accidentaly delete any stored dinos with my luck

[cosmic pendant]

asa plugin? what is that?

[low dew]

its what installs the server files and configures the server type asa plugin windows gsm in google

[iron bronze]

Bare with me ^^

[cosmic pendant]

I am sorry to ask so many questions.

[mellow nymph]

no worries, take your time im just browsing

[olive talon]

It's fine, this is the server setup help channel so it is for learning

[iron bronze]

can confirm

[flat grove]

Do we know when the mods will be fixed dino depot mostly. I would like to start breeding 😆

[humble thicket]

Anyone able to successfully get vanilla items to lock ?

[iron bronze]

The dev kit needs updating first and then the mod dev needs to recook the mod

So, it could be a few more days or maybe after Christmas

[iron bronze]

Use Cyber Structures mod...adds default containers that lock and so much more

[flat grove]

I knew that much just guess they decided to launch an update without essential elements as usual... lol

[humble thicket]

I seen that. But I have players that want to use vanilla items but you can't lock anything only pin code it. Also cannot lock or unlock Transmitters

[iron bronze]

Yea, well the only way I know how to do it is with the cyber structures mod

[rotund scaffold]

I have a problem that Xbox cannot enter the map The center and extinction someone knows how to solve it I have cross-play , Xbox and window can enter... it does not even let them spawn any help

[formal panther]

Why is my taming effectiveness dropping to 0 for no reason?

It’s also not eating after

[humble thicket]

Will this mod pull from dinos like aa ?
Like If I do a metal run and come back to base will it automatically pull the metal from dinos ?

[last magnet]

you can set up a TCU to automatically do it, but otherwsie no. You can also stand the dino in range of the forge and use the pull menu

I use both AA & CS bc AA lets me set up a list on the grinder to grind up armor & weapons I get from raiding NPCs

[peak sapphire]

Does the server setting not work?

[humble thicket]

I've tried a few different ways. I cannot get vanilla structures to auto lock

[peak sapphire]

And you have ForceAllStructureLocking=True in the GUS?

[humble thicket]

I have that code in my gamesettings ini

[peak sapphire]

Strange. Just tested my vanilla structures and they lock so not sure what else it could be 😔

[humble thicket]

I have bForceAllStructureLocking=1

[olive talon]

Try using "true" instead of a number

[strange galleon]

Anyone else having issues with the King Titan World Boss not spawning at the the cutoms time ment to and not showing up on map and not dropping anything?

I copy and pasted the command that they said to use to change the time but for some reason its only spawning once a day still at around 2:03pm EST but doesn't show up on map or when killed doesn't drop anything. I also put the command in server settings in the file but it doesn't do anything

[foggy plinth]

Anyone know a solution? My Ab server is stuck on version 56. And steam cmd isn't updating it right! And bc of that it won't show in the server list sadly anyone know a fix?

Tried multiple times to update it

It just reconfigures it for 2 sec then it says it's done, but it's not

[rapid zodiac]

Anybody have any good links for setting up a server using steamcmd for the first time?

[iron bronze]

Anyone unable to join the extinction server, any admins not able to die like they are constantly in god mod on extinction and anyone not able to update mods when joining a server? lol Shit is happening xD

[analog mason]

I need help, I’m trying to log into my unofficial server and when I do I can’t move and everything is gone around me. After a minute or so it kicks me out. Is there a fix for this?

[wide forge]

Is there a way to hide or disable a engram from btt? I tried using the ingame name of it (the name visible with the green admin gun) but it doesnt seem to work

[main quest]

Looks like the Winter Wonderland MOD has not been updated since March....Is it not officialy out yet?

[leaden cedar]

Hello, I’m experiencing time-out issues on extinction. It seems like it’s caused by the mods. Here are the ones I have active, if anyone knows which ones might be causing the problem :

Winter wonderland, super spyglass plus, admin panel, improved egg incubator, cliffans wardrobe CDM (armor and clothing), automated ark, indomitable duo, peloyori’s cryo storage, klinger additional rustic building, arkitect structure remastered, solofarm mod, dwarven builders mod, wall’n’floor decor and jvh landscaping

Thank for answer

[golden nest]

I don't need help with setup, all I need help with is stopping the dedicated server from creating a ton of backups called: "mapname_WP_12.1.34.134_13..341.23.ark" constantly. I make my own programs to autoback up my saves, I don't need the game to do it for me every 2 hours it looks like. Does anyone know how to stop the game from making constant backups? It's writing useless data CONSTANTLY for no reason at all

[native wave]

I know of no way to stop the game from generating it's normal backup saves

it works with one file at a time

[formal bone]

Superspyglass, admin panel and shiny! Are showing out of date for me too causing time out, tried uninstalling closing down and reinstalling but something is definitely playing up with mods since the release.

[dreamy aurora]

Why are people automatically removed from the tribe on my server when they spawn in a bed after traveling?

[wise kindle]

Remove admin panel and if needed, roll back a save.

[leaden cedar]

Without these 3 mods you still have problem?

[formal bone]

No, with the mods on my server. I try to update but they attempt to install again when I log in to the server. Then I time out

[leaden cedar]

The wildcards updating kit dev and destroy all server

[wise kindle]

That’s normal.
It will do that till both the client AND server mod versions match.

[native wave]

shiny did get an update

[humble thicket]

anyone here hosting on auxilex, ultahost, gravelhost or bananaservers?

[stiff cape]

If someone finds a way to bump up the Dino count on extinction let me know. The map seems to ignore everything I try

[iron bronze]

Looks like they have changed the Winter Wonderland mod image on curseforge! Looks like it might be soooon! 🤞

[wispy schooner]

Anyone having issues with Giga/carcha spawns on nitrado? I've seen 1 giga since drop

[lone hull]

Hi, I'm running a private server for less than 10 people on a separate server machine. We just use the SteamCMD console to run it. When the big update hit last week, we couldnt update right away because of RL issues. On Saturday I finally had time to run an update. I started up the server, which seemingly went fine, only for the server to shut itself off about 2 minutes after it was ready to advertise for join. There is no error message, no crash message. I am not versed in what logs I should be reading to see if there is indeed something wrong. There is nothing obviously wrong with the physical hardware, like no overheating or network issues.

When the server window shuts down, the computer itself behaves fine both before and after. However, I have considered the possibility of a RAM issue due to too many baby dinos on the server. Could that even be a thing though?

Alternatively, did the extinction update also massively increase server demands for Island? Our cluster is only Island and Center, and I'm not even starting Center right now.

Any insight on what log to check or what the issue could be would be appreciated.

[stiff cape]

you need to pull up your logs and see what it says. could be a mod issue

[flint oasis]

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000 Sooooo wtf I changed a setting and now no one can get back in

[lone hull]

Yeah so which logs should I be looking at? There're multiple log files in multiple folders.
Shootergame->saved->logs
Shootergame->saved->crashes
Shootergame->saved->config->CrashReportClient

[novel spear]

We are running into issues on our unofficial nitrado server aberration. We have some QoL mods on, and logging in, the player shows no items in inventory, no Dino’s tamed at our base, and our base is basically missing…

We have tried server backup, and map backup, with no avail. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated.

This started right after extinctions release.

[low dew]

@novel spear join the nitrado discord or put a ticket in

[flint oasis]

We had this same issue for a while on Personal dedicated server when it first came out. I had to restart the server and place the files back into it. I constantly save files because of bs like this

[willow crystal]

do someone know what kind of error this is? we have it on some maps with less players...

LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\j\workspace\RelB\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Private\HAL\MallocBinned2.cpp] [Line: 1496]

[fathom tinsel]

Update just dropped in the last hour or so.

[sweet rapids]

is it the same mod ID as last year?

[graceful gyro]

yep, same mod id (927090)

[sweet rapids]

so is it literally the same event? or did they change some stuff? (aka have they been lazy or not)

[graceful gyro]

they have added some stuff to it

[graceful gyro]

what kind of QoL mods? if its dino depot the server may be crashing due to the terminal picking up newborn babies

[pure haven]

update is out for unofficials?

[haughty cairn]

how do we enable winter wonderland on unoffical?

[iron bronze]

Looks like it

[haughty cairn]

i was asking how to enable lol

[iron bronze]

The event?

[olive talon]

Add the modID

[graceful gyro]

same way as adding any other mod

[olive talon]

Or add the mod if on nitrado

[haughty cairn]

I though was added to game files now?

[olive talon]

The new content requires the mod, the new stuff has not been added to the base game yet...

[fathom tinsel]

This is the mod ID for WinterWonderland. All you need to do is add it to your mod list and restart the server.

927090

[haughty cairn]

ye, i know that lol, all good, was getting confused lol

[fathom tinsel]

Also, even if you do the letter to raptor claus you can still chase him down after the gift(s) are delivered.

For the packages he dropped before in earlier wonderlands.

[dry brook]

anyone having issues with Yuty's not spawning on any map since Ext release?

even adding a custom spawn isnt spawning them 😄

[gloomy yew]

we have updated our servers and they are not showing up why not

[harsh forge]

Your server didn't update

Still waiting for unofficial

[bleak ivy]

public got updated. no idea if it went through nitrado tho.

[humble thicket]

Hey sorry
Do we remove Fear Ascended then add winter wonderland?

[gaunt berry]

Yes if you want it active

[fathom tinsel]

sigh Waiting on the server update is always a pain.

[humble thicket]

I figured
The Fear Ascended stuff should stay right?

[gaunt berry]

Not sure I think

I always change the event to a new one

[iron bronze]

My servers are updated and can be found...now just waiting for curseforge to stop having a fit lol

[fathom tinsel]

Dinos that already spawned and cosmetics you got. Not sure about decorations. They disappeared in ASE when the event was over and we didn't play fear evolved last year in ASA.

[junior prawn]

Does anyone know way my Wandering king titan is not despawning he has bin hire for the last 10 houers

[humble thicket]

Awesome that's mostly what I was concerned with.
Thank y'all ^-^

[gaunt berry]

No worry

[fathom tinsel]

When I can eventually see my server and log in ill let you know..... We have plenty of skele skins on dinos.

[iron bronze]

Fear ascended stuff was added to the main game a while ago now

Yea, Nitrado can take some time

[fathom tinsel]

I just restarted my self-hosted unofficial, this is the buildid I am on. 16821197

Oh, and I could not see my server when I tried to join, going to try again.

[bleak ivy]

@harsh forge assuming you deleted because you saw it did lol. 30 minutes ago.

[iron bronze]

You updated your game?

[fathom tinsel]

Yes, fully updated. Just checked, still cant see the server in the browser. Going to verify local files.

[bleak ivy]

make sure both updated. steamCMD has been having issues updating properly. (checking version numbers when the server is launched as well)

[harsh forge]

Yes, sorry my script is running against a steamdb-api and that hasn't updated for some reason

[iron bronze]

Build is 58.21 on my servers if that helps anyone. If anyone is able to get into their servers after updating, please let me know. Can't get into mine because of curseforge

[devout rampart]

server crash at this step: "cleaning up modid 927090"

[fathom tinsel]

What is the problem with CF? I don't see errors on my server logs.

[iron bronze]

Nothing with server log...just saying "Failed to load content" when trying to join one of the servers

[fathom tinsel]

Ah ok, well. I can't even see my server at this point so you are doing better than I am x.x

[pure haven]

servers crashing on startup fialing to update mod

[lone lodge]

Question, what is the event name? for command line?

[pure haven]

yeah same thing here

self hosted unofficial

[iron bronze]

You don't need it, just add the mod

[carmine goblet]

So good old WC fucked up the update huh lol

[abstract glade]

Oh, looks like I'm not the only one getting a crash when I try to enable winter wonderland. That's... good, I guess.

[native wave]

My severs came up fine

[iron bronze]

Able to get in?

[fathom tinsel]

ModID 927090

[carmine goblet]

My servers are up but you can't connect wont load content AND the winter mod won't even update or install in my mods list

[native wave]

Haven't tried...eating dinner

[iron bronze]

Good luck ^^

And I had WW active beforehand

[abstract glade]

I had winter wonderland active on my server before and it seemed to be working fine, but it was the previous version of the mod. This just-updated one seems to be no good.

[rustic fern]

Yall do know that nitrado has to update on their end as well....right

[fathom tinsel]

Same

[carmine goblet]

I had it running on my server before too and now its fucked lol

[iron bronze]

It's most likely just curseforge having a meltdown because everyone is adding the mod

[fathom tinsel]

Many of us are self-hosting. Not nitrado.

[rustic fern]

Ah

[abstract glade]

Only if I am using nitrado, which I do not since I have a machine for that rather than paying Nitrado $25/server/month for lower quality hosting

[lone hull]

Who in their right mind would use nitrado if they are on PC?

[iron bronze]

I like pancakes 🥞

[lone lodge]

Thanks i wasnt sure if that auto set colors up. ty

[graceful gyro]

where do you check if the public buildid updated? cuz i use api.steamcmd.net to check if its updated and it hasn't changed yet

[jagged arch]

How long does a nitrado update take? Its been updating for a while now

[harsh forge]

yea, same 😉

[bleak ivy]

its pinned. steamDB

pretty far down now

[abstract glade]

Ah well, I can go without the mod/event for a moment, I think. I'll just watch and wait for the apology along with the one day extension to the event, or whatever.

[fathom tinsel]

According to the announcment you don't need to do any cmd switches for colors. Unlike the fear event.

[graceful gyro]

ah i see, ty

[iron bronze]

It's not Wildcard...it's curseforge

[bleak ivy]

you can also just have steam tell you if you own ASA on steam. download the server software in the library and steam will say when it has updated

[fathom tinsel]

I guess that technically works. Seems like a waste of disk space and bandwidth though.

[wheat edge]

I see I'm not the only one with mod/event issues today? Our Island server has Fear Evolved on it at the moment and it won't launch, nor would our Extinction server while wonderland was on?

[bleak ivy]

I just run my server through that instead of steamCMD lol.

[fathom tinsel]

I think you have to disable all other event mods to use the wonderland mod.

[bleak ivy]

hasn't had any issues as of yet.

[fathom tinsel]

I'm running -unsupported- under Linux with proton and some helper scripts....

[bleak ivy]

yeah, obviously a windows only thing lol.

[fathom tinsel]

Honestly, I never have problems that are not problems the windows hosted servers have. It's always been a problem with a update.

[wheat edge]

We're not trying to add wonderland to fear ascended, it just straight up won't launch while fear ascended is enabled

[fathom tinsel]

Oh, they must have mucked something up then. I disabled fear already since I was moving to wonderland so I don't think I can help with troubleshooting that.

[bleak ivy]

most issues are gonna be just public not updating. or settings/launch options being messed up.
except the windows driver for proper servers or whatever happened.

[vale fiber]

this is a mess

[iron bronze]

I feel really bad for Wildcard...I am probably the only one but...must be really stressful

[bleak ivy]

fear probably broke. lots of mods broke when extinction released.

[fathom tinsel]

(normal) I know they work hard but this is SOP for major updates or releases of any kind from the company.

[lone lodge]

57.17 broke something, i have a lot of ppl timing out as they try to enter.

[wheat edge]

we've actually had fear running on 57.17 the island for quite some time, but this patch definitely horked something

[radiant pine]

Its a curseforge issue it seems

[fathom tinsel]

#announcements message

[bleak ivy]

thats the content failed to load thing

[fathom tinsel]

This is why you don't use 3rd parties like Curse. It's in the name guys!

[abstract glade]

Yeah, I've had one or two of these happen as well. Only workaround that consistently worked was traveling into the server from another server, but then saying no when the game asks if you want to override your character.
And of course, that would only work for one login. Process has to be repeated every time from a server that works.

[rigid eagle]

My server is crashing every time I start it up now

[lone lodge]

your lucky if its 1 or 2, but I have a good 50% that got in and stayed in extinction when it came out. but the 57,17 came out and nobod can transfer after that , time outs, losing characters, pita

[abstract glade]

Well, it's probably one or two because I have a tiny little server that's not up very often for just a few people, lol
But yes, it's a pain

[iron bronze]

My servers have been fine other than the mods breaking a bit...people have been getting in pretty fine

[fathom tinsel]

Well, im off to read and watch some random videos or something. This usually takes a few hours to sort out and it seems like there is little we can do about it.

[iron bronze]

I have a cluster server questing...

Is there a way to just upload my survivor (a bob i made on extinction that i want to keep) and just keep him there so I can move my other more established character to extinction? The only option that i have is to move to another map not to "upload" him.

[fathom tinsel]

ehh, no joy here. Server is still not showing up.

[iron bronze]

If your having issues where your server isn't updating, try renaming the steamapps folder to something like steamapps.old then start the server again

[graceful gyro]

i think with the new update it should solve the issue

[graceful gyro]

hard to say though cuz my game is still updating

[fathom tinsel]

Oh, yeah, that is why my server is probably not searchable. Still seeing this.
A server update is available. Updating server to build ID 16828472...

Maybe another temp-file thing or something? Like the last update. Guess ill look for that.

That is after 2 restarts.

no tmp files it looks like. Guess ill wait for another announcement.

Looks like they are redeploying stuff anyway. Probably some change to the patch or something.

[supple urchin]

well our update created an sql corruption... smh

restore from back up... corrupted that too

[fathom tinsel]

After this event I am moving everything to ZFS and going to do filesystem level snapshots before every update.

[supple urchin]

We didn't even add extinction to our cluster.. that's how much faith we have.

[fathom tinsel]

Just need to do a delayed roll out. Let everyone else suffer for 3-5 days then roll it out to your stuff...
I thought that was what QA/QE was for though.

[supple urchin]

That's what we usually do. But now we've had to shut down the entire ASA cluster because the update has corrupted the map saves, and restoring backups corrupt too..

[fathom tinsel]

That sucks. Lots of progress lost I bet.

[final oracle]

Anybody else stuck updating their server? Like it won’t go through and keeps saying “a new update will be installed now…”

IPC function call IClientAppManager::GetUpdateInfo took too long: 43 msec
Error! App '2430930' state is 0x202 after update job.
Server update completed successfully.
---server update complete---
----Starting Ark Server----
Using map: TheCenter_WP
Error: Server files not found. Please ensure the server is properly installed.

[stiff cape]

Make a whole new folder. It will redownload the server. Then just switch over your save folder

[fathom tinsel]

Easier said than done but Ill try it. Im not running this on windows. Its in linux /w proton and docker.

[graceful drum]

Should I reinstall 12 servers for this?

[graceful drum]

same

[stiff cape]

Some of my servers updated on their own. Only had to do it to a few. But yes super easy to do on windows.

[graceful drum]

i use debian 12 docker server

[fathom tinsel]

yeah, I am on trixie/sid

I still wants to do this.
A server update is available. Updating server to build ID 16828472...

I don't think a new folder/install is going to fix that.

This seems to be the problem.
IPC function call IClientAppManager::GetUpdateInfo took too long: 49 msec

[clear birch]

Just crashing non stop when trying to get on. F

[balmy plover]

yeah what i did is i added a kill me button on Discord so users can kill their characters. thats the only thing that seems to work

[balmy plover]

get someone to kill your toon

[stray axle]

is summerbash and fear asended now baked into the main game?

[bleak ivy]

summer has been for months, fear has been since release I believe

been over a month

[stray axle]

oh really we use nitrado and where unaware that summerbash was baked into the core game. we used the special code to make it running on snooze mode so skins got not deleted when fear was released.

[bleak ivy]

yeah, they usually say in #patch-notes
fear didn't get one tho and it was just removed from officials no passive mod stuff.

[stray axle]

soooo if we want the winter wonderland and not lose club ark skins from fear do we need to make fear pasive this time?

[bleak ivy]

shouldn't its already base.

[stray axle]

okey i did not saw the fear baked in the patch notes this time. so i was wondering 🤣

[frail ferry]

so do we justr add winter wonderland mod agaiun?

[fathom tinsel]

Then you cross your fingers and hope your server restarts properly.

[frail ferry]

thats everytime you restart nitrado

[fathom tinsel]

I am self-hosted and that is the problem every time they do a major release of any kind.

[broken halo]

Welcome to the wonders of wild card

[frail ferry]

and since they got contract with asa they dont even have to be good

[sweet rapids]

hm my servers wont update on my windows machine

[fathom tinsel]

I have self hosted since the begenning of ASE. Maybe I just hate myself.

[vapid elk]

Same, never pay for what I cna do myself

[broken halo]

Sounds weird but restart the pc

[spice tendon]

Is nitrado still down/stuck on reboot with this update and winter mod?

[sour sky]

my game keeps crashing everytime i try to join my server. anyone else having the problem?

[graceful drum]

@low haven Why are our servers not updating?

@proven prawn ?

@stark warren

??

[fathom tinsel]

another post in the announcement channel. Guess they are working on it.

[vapid elk]

Yea, seems that is the reason no mods. So taking a break

[sweet rapids]

🤦‍♂️

[jagged arch]

My server wont update ...

[charred vector]

I can join all of my maps except for extinction , ports are fine , no firewall, what is the fix for this ?!!

[stray axle]

look at the #announcements

[barren vortex]

Update done but now getting content failed to load……

[graceful drum]

I'll wait till morning, I'm going to sleep

GN

[mossy hull]

was my sht deleted tf

ahah oh well

[raw glade]

@mossy hull

This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment and server advertising channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.

[spring cairn]

Ooo, new patch. Did they fix the timeout issue when connecting to the Extinction map?

I'll update my server and see if I can get in. 🤷

[barren vortex]

I’m on astraeos but still timing out after the hour update

[humble thicket]

Patience. And pray maybe 😂

[charred vector]

I fixed it , the complaining worked

🤣😂

[humble thicket]

Oooh how did you do that? It's still bullying meee

[charred vector]

Deleted the whole ass map configuration and started a new one fresh with a new port and rcon

[lime sphinx]

This game is a double edged sword folks hahhaha

[charred vector]

Just gotta delete it and say FU and fresh slate it

[spring cairn]

So the new patch didn't resolve the timeout issue on connect? 😭

[charred vector]

The patch did nothing 🤣🤣 a fresh slate with anger worked

[humble thicket]

Ooooh! I will complain more and more so 😂

[charred vector]

Yes let’s do it together maybe it will work

[charred vector]

What are you hosting from

[uneven gate]

is the graphic card GTX 3060 okay for ark? bc i ordered it yesterday

[fathom tinsel]

a quantom based gfx card is not enough for Ark.

[humble thicket]

Germany

[charred vector]

What hosting platform **

[uneven gate]

i don’t need high quality tho bc rn i have a geforce gtx 1650 or sum and its bad like very bad

[fathom tinsel]

A 3060 will probably be a lot better, you might have to drop some settings still. I am on a Radeon RX 6800 XT so I can't give you much feedback for the nvidia card.

[uneven gate]

that’s no problem

[fathom tinsel]

I used to use a gtx 1080 with ASE and it was ok after they optimized stuff but I never used it for ASA.

[uneven gate]

i can put all on low and be fine

[uneven gate]

oh

ye it’s working but a bit laggy when i’m at a base

[fathom tinsel]

try getting rid of the volumetric stuff for weather. That helps a lot. Also, drop quality a little on dynamic shadows.

[uneven gate]

how ? i started playing ark yesterday so i don’t really know much abt it

[fathom tinsel]

Ugg, I can't post links apparently. Search for ASA: Performance Guide + schnett. That should help (its on github).

[uneven gate]

okay thank you very much !

[cunning slate]

Are unoffical servers not showing up?

[uneven gate]

yes

[fathom tinsel]

If you are lucky they are....

[cunning slate]

I am not what one would call lucky.

[fathom tinsel]

Same, I have not been able to get into my self-hosted dedicated since the patch earlier today.

[regal dune]

I feel that

[uneven gate]

i literally died in the water

it’s 3 am i need sleep

[fathom tinsel]

Probably a good idea. Though I usually say sleep is for the weak. Have a good rest of what you have left of a night/morning. x.x

[cunning slate]

Yea was having dinner and my game super crashed (had to restart win11), rebooted to see a steam update, then a server patch, and now I don't see it.

[uneven gate]

nothing much, just buying some presents

but i need my stuff so

[fathom tinsel]

Merry Christmas 🙂

[uneven gate]

🤗

[cunning slate]

Thanks @fathom tinsel at least I know I'm not crazy.

[uneven gate]

and i need to find good dragon eggs for my friends as a christmas gift

💀

[vapid elk]

3d print them

[uneven gate]

no i mean in game

[vapid elk]

Yea, meant it as a joke

Will see myself out now

[uneven gate]

ooop

do i need to turn off the „filter not with mod“

[wide zinc]

You guys unofficals not working too? It’s showing servers but says can’t find mine.

[fathom tinsel]

FINALLY! This seems to work for me at least.

Stop your server.
On your server, locate the file appmanifest_2430930.acf.
Remove every single one of them.
(Including any that have .tmp after them).

Start the server, then wait for probably 10-30 min for the server to re-download files.
This worked for me on a self-hosted dedicated running under Linux with proton and on "The Island" map.

You will probably find it somewhere like this.
ServerFiles/arkserver/steamapps/
And
/ServerFiles/arkserver/

I am on PC though, Don't know if this will work for everyone.

[uneven gate]

why are some other servers online?

[wide zinc]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out too. I guess Curseforge is having issues and it’s causing issues with servers?

[spring cairn]

What does this fix sorry?

[fathom tinsel]

Could not see self-hosted dedicated in browser or join it in any other way.

Make sure your client is updated too though.

[sterile anchor]

I mean they are working on a fix with curseforge as stated in announcements 💀

[vapid elk]

Weird I can seem the unlocks for all my mods, downloaded the updated mod. But nothing I built using mods exists

[uneven gate]

but i literally died w my 3 friends

i was lucky i had more time then them and save our stuff

[fathom tinsel]

I could not even see my server before. Now I can and when I joined it I did get the update.

[sterile anchor]

So ur good then

[uneven gate]

i already did an update off 188GB i think

[fathom tinsel]

Well, at least I can get into my server again. That is improvment.

[uneven gate]

i can’t

[sterile anchor]

Ye, I haven’t been able to test my issues yet since I keep fatal erroring when opening the game after the update 🙈

[wide zinc]

I’m hoping my Nitrado servers update.. apparently they hadn’t updated yet.

[uneven gate]

but why aren’t all servers down

i literally see other servers

[wide zinc]

I don’t think anybody can answer that really. Just unlucky on our part

[uneven gate]

fr

[vapid elk]

Only updated 1 server in my cluster.

[uneven gate]

😭

[vapid elk]

And my current server works fine except no items from the mods

[uneven gate]

im joining on a server rn and it’s all black and laggy

im very lucky our friends had 10 min more then we and saved our items in hope our characters don’t get deleted

[tepid berry]

lol

[cunning slate]

Did this but it still doesn't work and doesn't seem like my server is trying to re-download anything.

[uneven gate]

i don’t recommend going on the server rn just wait and hope it gets fixed ig

[spring cairn]

I am able to join my Extinction server now since the update. 🙂 v58.21

[uneven gate]

what does this numbers mean of servers?

[vapid elk]

I wish my mods worked :(

[uneven gate]

like wdym what gets deleted

[modest rune]

is winter wonderland a mod again this year?

[fierce timber]

I've wiped my Unofficial Ab server back to all default Nitrado settings (reinstalled game server itself), no mods, etc, and all of the "upper level" areas/walkways/etc on Aberration in both the Green/Blue zones still refuses to spawn even a singular creature at all, like their spawn container/nodes are broken or something in all of these areas.

Surely this is a Nitrado issue and not ASA? It was also broken in my SP world, but wiping to a new fresh SP world/save state fixed the issue there. But nothing works to fix it for this Unofficial Nitrado server.

[uneven gate]

is it normal that i already did the update?

right before all went down

[cobalt onyx]

Is whatever is happening with curseforge/the update the reason I can't get my unofficial nitrado to come up ?

[fossil scaffold]

yeah man that suk

[sweet rapids]

Anyone have any idea why my servers wont update? they are still on 57.something

[uneven gate]

what about unofficial servers? are they going up

[humble thicket]

Nitrado or else?

[sweet rapids]

Rented windows server, not Nitrado

[humble thicket]

I think that's why maybe. They gave nitrado exclusivity and priority so 🤷, maybe

[native wave]

nope....doesn't explain how my self-host in my basement server is updated and running fine

[sweet rapids]

hope there is news soon, 4.20am and I want to get my cluster running for the players before I fall asleep

[native wave]

if it doesn't update....try...try...try again

[sweet rapids]

I been spamming the thing for the past 2hrs

[severe wave]

My Basement server keeps saying its updated but its not.....

[native wave]

yeah getting the 0x6 error on my Center server

Island, Extinction, and Club Ark of mine updated though

[sage path]

can we add the winter event to unoffical?

[native wave]

yeah, just add the mod 927090

[sage path]

lol this a scam?

[mental hound]

Anyone know if the colors are baked into the mod this time or separate command line argument to add?

[native wave]

you an idiot? wtf kind of question is that?

[fossil scaffold]

😂

[sage path]

it was a joke lmao

[fossil scaffold]

do not take it

[clear birch]

Is there new version or still 58.21?

[native wave]

58.21 is what you want your servers on

some of mine are throwing the 0x6 error and refusing to update....1 of the 4 I was running is doing that, one other I've tried is doing that

and for my client I went into the mod menu and updated my mods there instead of relying doing it while connecting

[uneven gate]

i already did the update

before the crash i’m confused

[native wave]

some servers are not updating as they should...displaying a 0x6 error instead of updating. check your server version to make sure it's actually up to version 58.21

[uneven gate]

our server is down too

but i did an ark update right before it crashed completely

[sage path]

but dumb question where do i add the mod?

[clear birch]

Do you have mods on @clever drum

[uneven gate]

yes

i think

i can’t find our server

[native wave]

if you think it's on, and you can't see it, it's likely still on the old version. when the major version changes (57->58) clients will not recognize a different major version they are running

[uneven gate]

we do have mods

it’s not my server

and it’s a private one

[native wave]

just because you have mods doesn't mean you will crash. some mods may cause it (Dino Depot is one right now if you leave autocapture enabled)

[uneven gate]

im german

i don’t really understand that much english

[sage path]

some mods make it crash some dont

[rigid eagle]

Still crashing on every log

[uneven gate]

i don’t even find the server

[neon haven]

Hey small question- to enable winter wonderland on unofficial nitrado server, do i just go to the web interface and put the ID in the active mods ID box under the curseforge tab? 🥴

Its a console server so when the announcement mentions putting it in a string I'm not sure where else that would be aside from that ID box on the web interface

[wide zinc]

Pretty sure that’s how it works. That’s how the other events worked.

[native wave]

yes, for nitrado you put it in the active mods dialog box. The mention of adding it to a string is for self-hosted unofficials that add it to the command line string, which you do not have access to

[neon haven]

Perfect thank you both 🙏 does the position of it matter or can i just add it towards the end of it?

[native wave]

it can matter, but the mod on curseforge will usually specify if it needs a specific position in the mod list

[bleak ivy]

usually its just overhauls being first

[native wave]

yep

the event mod doesn't care where it's at

[neon haven]

Perfect- I knew the mods usually mentioned it but had no idea how to move a mod "up" the list as it were since its just click to add on the interface, but it makes sense then that that ID string would need to reflect the proper order

Y'all helped loads, ty! Get to surprise the other players on the server with the event being active then

[static quail]

Anyone know if there is a command to give all explorer notes to another player

[sweet rapids]

I don't understand what I am doing wrong anymore. now my server is stuck on this "Ticking Loop" at the bottom of the console

Only my club ark started, other maps don't want to ><

[sudden sierra]

Y'all are getting your nitrado servers to work? I'm stuck in the endless restart loop

[sudden verge]

Two questions
Will stop the steal mod interfere with the wonderland mod?
And do I have to restart my server for the mod to work?

[native wave]

you always have to restart for a new mod to work

and that mod affects pegos stealing I think...so yeah it might affect the pegos in the wonderland mod

[sudden verge]

Ok thanks.

[final oracle]

Are the servers fixed now?

[cobalt thunder]

how to fixed "joining failed connection timeout''

[native wave]

depends on your server...if it can update and you have no mods crashing it..then they're good

[oblique geode]

I guess they still have not patched PS5 related bugs. Everytime I try to join my Nitrado server the application crashes. We never installed the winter wonderland mod and the reboot was forced due to the update and now no one can access the server.

[native wave]

some servers are having trouble updating...it errors out in trying to update. Just have to keep trying until it updates and you won't be able to see it until it updates if you already updated your client

[flint nimbus]

anyone else crashing joining an unofficial?

[oblique geode]

We can see it and it says all required mods are installed and up to date but as it tries to join the PS5 application crashes. From the Server interface it never says a player joined.

[native wave]

for the one crashing, are the mods on that ps5 client updated? check by going to the mod menu before connecting, update there if needed, then try to connect

[oblique geode]

Yes all 5 players are on PS5 and having the same issue.

[young dove]

For the record, relevant or otherwise, this is happening for PC Steam players as well. All my servers are running, but nobody can log in due to CTD with fatal error.

[flint nimbus]

how do u fix the server crashing sorry

[young dove]

My servers aren't crashing. The clients are when they try to join.

[oblique geode]

Same here

[flint nimbus]

yea the server goes up but crashes anyone trying to join

and its only one map

ext

[young dove]

Alas this is not the case

It's every map, at least for me.

[rotund scaffold]

Same boat

[young dove]

I run a multi-map cluster with The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and The Center

[flint nimbus]

same

all my maps are functional except extinction

[young dove]

All maps are inaccessible and the client crashes no matter which map my players try to connect to. In this case, our clan's home bases are on Center, and we all crash when joining that.

[quick flame]

Is the naughty or nice shit still in the game

[young dove]

What like..the Winter Wonderland stuff?

[humble thicket]

So is everyone having issues joining unofficial?
Seems pretty widespread

[native wave]

if your servers aren't updating, yeah, you're gonna have problems joining. there also seems to be issues updating mods on the client when connecting (update in the mod menu worked for me)...and beyond that, some seem to be getting crashes connecting with everything updated

it is possible to get connected and play though if you have everything updated.

[severe wave]

If My Server Tool Won't Update to the latest, what file should I remove to force it to redownload the newest one. Server is still stuck at 56.18

[humble thicket]

Everything is up to date, servers are in the list, hit join, closes ark sends us to dashboard. 58.21 is the current version correct?

[native wave]

complete reinstall. that's two major versions behind, pre-extinction

[native wave]

correct

[severe wave]

So Remove All But Saved Arks and SaveGames?

[native wave]

yeah backup the Saved folder and have it reinstall from scratch

saved includes the save files, config files, and mod configuration save files

[flint nimbus]

idk its only one map in my cluster trynna fix it im lost

[tough bough]

My game keeps crashing trying to join my server

[flint nimbus]

has anyone found a fix to unofficial servers crashing?

[rigid eagle]

Has wildcard addressed the unofficial issues at all?

[flint nimbus]

dont thin so

[spark citrus]

i fixed my server by removing mods 1 by 1, it was super painful but for me ez engram mod was bricking my game. hope this helps someone

[native wave]

ty mods

[native wave]

yeah until we have a confirmed list of mods that cause crashes, this is the way to do it. the only one I know of right now is Dino Depot, but the crash can be avoided by disabling autocapture and not using admin recovery
and now, Easy Engram mod

[spark citrus]

yeah its weird because its client crashes, not server crashes. at least it wasnt for me

[flint nimbus]

yea same

[native wave]

yeah, same with dino depot

[flint nimbus]

its client crashes but for one map and the others

are fine

[rigid eagle]

Did you use a different mod?

[spark citrus]

yeah i had like 8 other mods that worked

if you mean a different engram mod, no i didn't

[fathom tinsel]

Here is my mod list. Sorry, its a PAIN to actually name them because of how curse works.

  - MOD_IDS=929110,931047,941145,928818,950914,942024,930366,929665,947982,955623,946841,939228,930491,936145,929977,945254,940564,958343,935809,928506,935410,941461,946694,930115,947835,935528,928597,947033,932365,930494,935399,935408,927090

They all work, it includes stuff like QoL+, Super Tranq's, Super Spyglass, etc..

I used to have everything followed in a collection but then they "updated" (broke) their website.

Now I would have to google every single one of these to re-follow them again. (Oh, we are pc gamers)

[native wave]

recommend replacing QoL+ as it hasn't been updated in almost a year, I switched to Cybers Structures QoL+ (Crossplay)

[humble thicket]

Great mod was worth switching over

[fathom tinsel]

I should just make a scraper where you can put in a list of mods and it spits out the projects/names/etc with links.

[bleak ivy]

it already exists. curseforge lookup

been around for a long long time for minecraft

[spark citrus]

super odd you cant seach mods by id on curseforge

[rain bobcat]

where do i add the mod code to put the winter wonderland event on my dedicated server

[native wave]

cflookup . com

[fathom tinsel]

The fact it needs to exist at all and they don't do it themselves just show's how bad they are at what they do.

[untold tree]

my servers seem to be running now after tonights update. the only issue at the moment - I have an unassembled enforcer in my inventory. it says "use this item to assemble a new enforcer" but wont allow me to use it. Am i missing something please?

[native wave]

put it on your hot bar and activate it?

[viscid gale]

How do I fix server from crashing

[untold tree]

legend... thank you 🙂

[viscid gale]

Do I need to uninstall each mod until it lets me load in

[humble thicket]

seeing a lot of people with dino depot and EZ engrams id start there if you can.

[native wave]

one by one, yeah

[bleak ivy]

every place has issues. 🤷 somebody made it before curseforge did so they didn't need to. (this was long long before curseforge was overwolf or twitch)

[untold tree]

admin panel has a light version as a temp fix, and the shiney mod seems to work if that helps anyone

[bleak ivy]

dino depot is just the auto baby capture and admin recovery. easy enough to avoid.

[native wave]

Trying to build the list so if anymore are found, tag me or dm me
If you do not have any of these, you may need to remove your mods one by one to find the one causing crashing. If you confirm the removal of a mod fixes your crashing, please tag me in a post or dm me the mod id so I can update this post.
A verification of your install of ASA may also be useful.

Mods currently causing crashes:
(this is an uncertain list, stuff to try)
**Ez's Engram Unlocker (PC/Xbox/PS) (929912) ** - Choose one:
-remove the mod
-just put bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=True in your Game.ini and remove the mod for good.

HUD Stuff Durability (1084185) - remove the mod

Previously listed mods (have been patched):
Dino Depot (942024)

pin pls?

or make your own and pin 🙂

[humble thicket]

Ah good to have that detail thank you ^-^

[bleak ivy]

death capture as well it seems

was checking the dino depot discord for updates on the update lol

its dino depot's death capture not a mod lol

[native wave]

oh

[native wave]

never used that feature, so out of sight out of mind

[bleak ivy]

I didn't either. thought it was a bit cheaty I also left on the damage timer.

[native wave]

is that like, capture a dino on death's door?

[bleak ivy]

yeah, can specify the death type as well.

this is for unofficial setup. all I know is #announcements
I would just go to sleep.

[humble thicket]

Soory mb

[fathom tinsel]

In case anyone is looking for this info on mods that I have working currently (PC) as of tonight.

[sterile anchor]

those people saying its dollies fault is actually stupid

Just ban this man holy

[fathom tinsel]

Looks like they used GPT to make some spam. Lame.

[sterile anchor]

true

[native wave]

current mods I have working (dino depot config modified to avoid crashes): https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/User:ThunderGod97/cluster/Extinction

[sterile anchor]

the black screen when i join extinction is finnaly gone! I CAN PLAY!

[native wave]

lol, just got my first attack of the human npc's I added to extinction....rex go chomp chomp

[peak goblet]

This page saved our cluster ez engram was def the issue

[bleak ivy]

was wondering what mod. checks list and its called human NPCs ASA 😂

[native wave]

yep....they build villages, tame dinos and occasionally attack. had a raiding party visit the area I'm still building my base in

[bleak ivy]

based on the description it seems like a smarter sir 5rm8

[fathom tinsel]

Its in my mod list. #unofficial-setup-help message

[native wave]

the archers use tranqs, so not totally worthless against my rex

[fathom tinsel]

You get nice loot from them sometimes. Not amazing but not bad.

[fathom tinsel]

They will bolo you or your smaller dinos too. Just be aware.

[native wave]

oh yeah, expecting anything and everything

[little hound]

Does anyone know when Nitrado and WC are going to be back up for us unofficial players

[rigid eagle]

EZ Engram was updated today

[fathom tinsel]

They get annoying after a while. They also don't seem to spawn as much as they were on our map anymore but maybe that is part of the update and the extra dinos/mobs.

[native wave]

is it good (non-crashy crash) after the update?

[rigid eagle]

Still crashed

[native wave]

ok, just want to keep the mod list in the pins updated

[little hound]

^

[magic orchid]

I can’t even get into my own server. It crashes my entire game

[little hound]

Same

[magic orchid]

Ever since extinction I’ve been having issues. Should add on those lost days to my paid time

[little hound]

Ever since the update I can’t get in to the server

[native wave]

make sure your server is actually updating, some servers are having trouble updating

[native wave]

check the mod list in the pins by me...for mods that we currently know cause them

[little hound]

Ok I’ll check

[native wave]

if it's not listed, you'll need to remove one by one until you don't crash to find the one causing it.

[magic orchid]

Ex engram is one for me

[native wave]

mod id?

[soft iron]

I’m trying to join my friends on non host dedicated and it just says joining invite 0/28 but me and my friends have all the same mods. When I let it do it. it goes up to 5-8/28 and then just resets by sending me back to the menu.. pls help bruh I can’t play with my group.

[magic orchid]

929912

Meant EZ* Engram

[native wave]

ty

[magic orchid]

That’s the one in your pinned message right? That’s causing issues

[humble thicket]

How can I turn decay timers on ?

For pve sorry

[native wave]

I believe so. the point of the pin is to list the ones causing issues

[native wave]

Value type: boolean
If True, disables the creature decay in PvE mode. Note: after patch 273.691, in PvE mode the creature auto-unclaim after decay period has been disabled.```
```DisableStructureDecayPvE     Default value: False
Value type: boolean
If True, disables the gradual auto-decay of player structures.```
in GameUserSettings.ini

[opal crystal]

I

[scarlet stone]

so,

1. that game crash (not server crash) was caused by EZ engram unlocker? (I already did Dino depot when Extinction came out)

2. How do you get verified in this discord?

[native wave]

one of the game crashes was caused by that mod...doesn't guarantee there aren't more

Honestly, I can't remember how I got the verified tag... @bleak ivy can you help with this...how did I get this? lol

[untold tree]

thanks for creating the list of working mods... i hate crafting kibble... this vending machine is so cool 😆 👌 never knew it existed

[bleak ivy]

that role isn't used anymore. old users just still have it

[native wave]

ah ok

I'm old...I got it 😛

[bleak ivy]

all public roles except bob squad are in id:customize

[native wave]

and that poglin one

[bleak ivy]

meant the ones that you give yourselfs. didn't know a better word

[humble thicket]

Thankyou

[buoyant yacht]

@peak sapphire Did the dino wipes resolve your spawning issues? Still not getting a whole lot spawning here still

[gusty quest]

How does one get the map data and built structures and stuff as well as character and dino data off of one server and apply it to a different server. Not talking transfer through an obelisk but like copy pasting files

[pine fractal]

Hey guys trying to set up our Extinction map for our cluster. But flyers aren't working. Turned them on, allowed them to be rideable. But literally nothing is working. Even copy/pasted our codes from Scorched to make sure

Anyone else having this issue?

[humble thicket]

are there christmas colors for the new event? if yes, does anyone know the argument for it?

[umbral carbon]

Using a Nitrado server and constant crashes on both PC and Xbox, ping is 0, nothing loading in upon log in. There are mods to this server, had just added the Christmas one. Any help?

[cloud rain]

.

[peak sapphire]

Nope and but I noticed there’s only half the population you’d expect to see on a map this size. 16K vs ~32K on The Island.

[native wave]

we've started maintaining a list of mods causing crashes in the pinned comments. check those. other than that, remove one by one to determine which is causing the crash

[cloud rain]

Anyone started an extinction map?

I’m trying to figure out why the flyers are not rideable , I’ve check every setting and it works on scorched but on extinction they not rideable ( and yes I did put saddles on them 🤣 )

[toxic hazel]

Just wondering if update issues are still present?

[meager vault]

Can you change the stack size of Currupted Nodes & how to do it?

[iron bronze]

Don't know who to direct this to, but could you or another mod/admin please tell all the devs and Discord staff thank you for all your efforts and merry Christmas from me and my community members! 🎄

[native wave]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_CorruptedPolymer_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=50, bIgnoreMultiplier=False))
In Game.ini
setting ignore multiplier to true will ignore the resource multiplier that affects the drops of the nodules. with that it just uses the max item you enter. without that the amount you enter is multiplied. You can use this on a lot of items, just use Class Name from the appropriate table here: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Item_IDs

some resources in the past have ignored these lines due to incomplete coding by the devs....if it doesn't work, use it with or without the multiplier to see if it has an effect.

[native wave]

They seriously don't get enough thanks for what they do for the entire community.

[iron bronze]

My point exactly!

[native wave]

they and this game are why:
I continue to help out here
Do the editing I do on the wiki
And just try to promote the game with what friends will listen to me

[iron bronze]

Same really...apart from the wiki stuff ^^

[native wave]

yay I fixed the updating on my Center server. had to delete the appmanifest_2430930.acf from the steamapps folder on my server. it validated, and updated to the latest.

it was getting the 0x6 error

[iron bronze]

Ah, thats why it worked for me when I renamed my steamapps folder then lol

[native wave]

yup

[iron bronze]

Sorry, if I knew that was your issue, I would have said ^^

[native wave]

it is an issue on a few of my servers, but not my extinction which I've been playing on

[iron bronze]

For me it was only and issue on my extinction server lol

[native wave]

and scorched updating

[iron bronze]

🎉

[native wave]

looking at that file...several of the values were zeroed out....might be why it was hanging up

compared the old one from scorched to the new one

[buoyant salmon]

Is anyone still crashing when they load up the game for the unofficial servers

[native wave]

check the mod list in the pins for the mods causing crashing right now

[buoyant salmon]

Sorry, where do I find the pins @native wave

[jaunty vortex]

No, they don’t. Ark is an incredibly complicated game and I’m sure the devs get a lot of pressure to get things out. Likely sometimes before they are ready. It won’t be devs that set the dates.

So yes, all credit to the people working behind the scenes, the community staff and the volunteer moderators.

[buoyant salmon]

And Ty for responding

[native wave]

upper right on desktop discord, click the search icon on mobile

[buoyant salmon]

Ty

Ok I’ll take down ez unlocker I think that’s the only one I have out of the two I seen on the pins list

@native wave

[native wave]

trying to build the list so if anymore are found, tag me or dm me

[arctic sage]

good pins, but might want to add, how to do it? with say dino depot.
gameusersetting.ini
[dinodepot]
AllowTerminalAutoCaptureNewborn=False

[pallid monolith]

anyone knows why my non dedicated server doestn spawn like any dinos i can only see like 40 on the hole map

[native wave]

pretty sure for single player and non-dedicated the spawning of creatures is directly tied to the position of the player or the host in a non-dedicated session

[pallid monolith]

yeah but theres a command to deactivate that but i dont know which

[native wave]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/203535-patch-259-hibernation-single-player-settings/

[pallid monolith]

yes its that but where do i put the command so it works

[native wave]

You can disable this setting by adding the following setting to your steam launch parameter / non-dedi launch command

[pallid monolith]

ok thx

[sonic gust]

What do i need to do to stop crashing on official servers?

On ps5

[native wave]

no idea....I would chat with people in #bobs-with-probs

this is for unofficial and single player

[sonic gust]

Well thats shit

[tranquil pewter]

i have a stucked wild king titan in the west / left map building, not hurtable actually, cant really move, server restart didnt remove him, kill command didnt remove / kill him, remaining time is stucked too, any ideas how get him away?

DestroyWildDinos worked 😄
