[distant hearth]

alot people moan nitrado are slow with there updates but tbh i cant really blame them , just sucks when its a major

[celest halo]

i dont use a server manager so needed something "fancy" to do it lmao

[distant hearth]

heh i dont care for owt fancy, if its functional , im happy

[celest halo]

all my servers are headless dont need no ui lmao

[upper sigil]

Anyone else's server stuck at "server will now restart"
But never does?

[grizzled flicker]

I just tried starting mine up and it won't, It eventually just timed out.

[glacial creek]

update and revert back a save pre the 58.47

the devs posted they reverted back a patch

[amber spruce]

how can you tell when ur save is before the patch

[grim sinew]

just an FYI 58.48 patch they just pushed broke dedi again on one of the maps

[cursive plinth]

why is the Update Still Deploying to 58.48?!!!?!!
?

[cursive plinth]

All the maps

[grim sinew]

it was 58.47, then just noticed 58.48 came through and the island updated and broken dedi's again

so i stopped updates on our cluster

[cursive plinth]

I would love to do that but it already pushed to mine

[grim sinew]

lemme know if you have the same problem

[edgy pasture]

58.48 is still deleting dedis content for me on my servers. Im having to try rollback to fix it

[hidden minnow]

I've been told even going back 9 hours the issue still exists

[grim sinew]

its the patch that is the issue. so it doesnt matter what save you load in

[lost siren]

So, problems are solved and still we loose the dedis contents? Will they ever fix it or we must just go on?

[edgy pasture]

I rolled back a day and still the same 😦

[tepid berry]

Thank you everyone who is posting here with their dedi issues. It absolves me of the need to update my own cluster, and saves me a lot of headache. If not for your brave sacrifice, I may be in your shoes right now ❤️

[cedar crater]

It kinda feels like unofficials have been abandoned by wc considering how fast they identifi3d and fixed the issue for official and how quickly they quit in favor of starting official servers...

[olive timber]

for whom did the fixy work and which version are you using

[hasty elbow]

They always fix Official first, Nitrado second and Unofficial last

[short scarab]

If its possible i would like to give it a try, my issue still persist with being unable to find the server in the ark server list. So maybe thats where the issue is still.

Sure

We both dont accept dms tho xD

Well i cant dm you or send a friend request :x

I think it should work now

I accept from this server

I personnaly wasnt able to see it in the list, i was able to connect to it via open tho.
I assumed the list issue was from epic having issues but since i still cant see it im not sure what to think

open dosent allow passwords afaik so i need to be able to see it

🤦‍♂️

Oh my god it was the player server

Why is that an option

So my server is considered unofficial-player server while a nitrado server is only unofficial right?

Makes sens

Well i guess it does

[frigid vine]

Read again my message. You need to wait for the Update with the fix. Afterwards you should apply your backup

Yeah saw it @Sapphire, but the patch was not released when Dragon36 tried to Recover his Backup.

So, with the latest patch dedis working well again?

[olive timber]

not in my case

[hasty elbow]

the last patch (4hrs ago) does not resolve the issue

I restored a 58.36 copy from a backup and its working fine

if your servers have not yet updated, ensure you dont automatically update them on start as you will get a version that will mess up dedicated storage and lose items

[frigid vine]

Crazy! 😯So, then i will still wait before updating. Thanks.

Yeah, my servers also still on v58.36

[hasty elbow]

except its not

I even got a fresh copy from steam and it deletes dedicated storage

cleared steamapps cache etc, still got the issue

from teh chat above it doesnt look like it

You can sit here all day and say its fine, but in many peopels experience it is not and the patch 4 hours ago, which is noted in steamdb is still broken

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frigid vine]

No, disabled my auto Update script Yesterday after i saw this confusion with the new parameters. Tbh not sure what todo because we don't use item and dino Cap.

I mean, for the mek/enforcers/scout only params its clear to me. But not this one with ItemQuality=200

They mean the quality like if you cheat Something? Cheat gfi XYZ 1 0 20?

[hasty elbow]

it's not, its a higher version and a diff of them shows they are different

it's not the steam version, it's the ARK version. Steam uses build tracking

yes it does, thats how depots work and 'changenumbers'

yeah I understand it and got it fixed and offering advice to the people above who are lost and have unofficial servers down waiting for another patch

I got a packaed 5GB difff that people can restore, but thanks for the advice 🙂

thank you for the advice though, your denials made everyone elses issues just non existant and they are just stupid people who know nothing though, right

why are you so triggered 😂

I didn't say it wasn't fixed for everyone, but in many cases it's not and I am providing helpful information with steamdb info to back it up and a solution. Cool your jets hero

[unborn ermine]

@hasty elbow thanks it worked!! 🙂

Not sure whaat Sapphire is on about lol

[raven vale]

all yall confusing me arguing >.< so we deployed the update from 5 1/2 hours again and ran into the dedis empty again sooo do we just redeploy it now?

[hasty elbow]

You're welcome 🙂

[hasty elbow]

I say no, @polar echo says yes

I updated it less than an hour ago and the issue persists with v58.48. Take backups of your server binaries and ARKs if you do anything so yo ucan restore if it doesnt work

the last update shown on SteamDB is 5 hours ago

[floral tartan]

Same problem here. The problem persists with 58.48. Most of the dedis are empty.

[raven vale]

oki so try reverting back to 58.36

[hasty elbow]

My clusters work with v58.36

[worthy current]

Does anyone have their v58.36 backup they can send over?🤓

[hasty elbow]

no issues with losts dedi items, just restore the ARK as well back to the last save before the update too when you revert to 58.36

[floral tartan]

how exactly can i reinstall the old version .36?

[olive timber]

but how do I go back to 58.36?

[hasty elbow]

I got a 5GB patch you can drop over the top, uploading it now

[unborn ermine]

Eps is a real one, thanks man 🤩

[olive timber]

I also have 58.36 on my test server and it runs without any problems

[worthy current]

if you want DM me the link

[olive timber]

link pls

[shrewd wagon]

i would do the same actually. Which files are included here ? I was trying to find out which datas are storing that files ^^

[edgy pasture]

How do we roll back server version and then apply the save rollback if theyve pushed the latest update on us? Im confused

[hasty elbow]

I just used BeyondCompare and grabbed the diffed files; you can probably get away without the PDBs if not using any hook addons which saves like 2GB

Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe
Content/Paks/ShooterGame-WindowsServer.ucas
Content/Paks/ShooterGame-WindowsServer.utoc

[flat cipher]

Thank you, thanks to you I was able to solve the problem

[hasty elbow]

you can also check on steamdb and look at patchnotes for the latest and it shows the files

I got a google drive link for the 58.36 files that were change in 58.48 - so you can revert them and get your unofficial server back up and running without waiting for WildCard. Can send link if your cluster is down and you need to revert. Add me on discord and ill send you the link 👍 This does not cover Nitrado - you are on your own waiting for their high quality service and WildCard to sort the issue.

[grim sinew]

sent request 😄

[unborn ermine]

Fuck Nitrado 😆

p.s @grim sinew I love your avatar!!

[grim sinew]

thanks!

[midnight harness]

so we on nitrado is screwed

[hasty elbow]

unfortunately, I don't think they backup server binaries - you'd need to make a ticket with them if it doesn't just resolve itself. Sorry friend.

[midnight harness]

anyone know a private server host i could use to switch my cluster over too? im tired of nitrado and the ongoing issues of trying have a server that can run without all the bs

[midnight harness]

well fuck that wont get taken care of for a least 24hrs. i rolled back my server already and the dedi issues happened a second time. not sure what to do at this point

[frigid bolt]

Hi, question about imprint settings, does baby imprint amount multiplier affect the final dino at 100% imprint or just how quickly you can get there? As I have it at 1.5 so you dont have to be so "on it" to get 100% (as i have faster mature speeds) but i dont want the actual final 100% imprinted dino to be any better than if baby imprint amount multiplier was just at 1

[lost siren]

So, are we loosing everything on dedis?

[fluid isle]

Does OSD drop quality is based on loot quality multiplier?

What does people set it to up t obe for balance?

[hasty elbow]

Yeah unfortunately rolling the map (.ARK) back is not enough, you need to replace server files for it to work correctly again as the rollback didn't happen or work. If you have a decent machine, you could download your save files and swap to local hosting and get it working; or hold your breath for WildCard to be working through it this late (it's like what, 4am their time?). You're kind of between a rock and a hard place.

[peak sapphire]

It won’t be any better. You can’t get more than 100% imprint regardless of the imprint amount unless you specifically change a setting that increases baby stats. It could go 40% 40% then 20% for the final, or even 45% 45% 10%. You’ll be fine.

[flat flume]

Any eta on a patch fix for dedis?

[peak sapphire]

Check #announcements for that. We won’t know until it’s posted there first.

[hasty elbow]

if you need to revert, I can send a google drive link to the old binaries to get you up and running (as long as its not nitrado)

[peak sapphire]

I’m leaving my servers offline until that patch. Safest option.

[hasty elbow]

I highly doubt there will be a patch to restore the lost items if they are already lost (Because data loss), restoring map and server version to prior (v58.36 or below) to the patch works fine, our cluster and 8 others clusters I've sent files to are up and running again fine - avoiding updates for now.

[frigid bolt]

ah ok cheers bro

[keen aspen]

@frozen fulcrum In here

[frozen fulcrum]

@rapid fulcrum

[hasty elbow]

@steep veldt - I didn't know this was possible but it's going in my toolbox of tricks. Legend, Thank you!

People with dedicated storage issues persisting with v58.48, Follow this guide if you need v58.36 server files.

[edgy pasture]

what guide?

[hasty elbow]

this post here (#unofficial-setup-help message) to download the files from an older depot in the steam client

[pseudo sinew]

If rollback the server, will I have the same problem the next time the server does a restart and updates?

[hasty elbow]

yes - do not update. You also need to rollback the save file to before it had the bad patch as those saves will forever have the items missing

[edgy pasture]

Im not sure what would be the point to use an older server version when theyre gonna push the latest one on us again like they already did

[hasty elbow]

You don't need to run the latest version, you can run any server version you want - just disable your update script 🙂

if you run a server v58.36, any client with a v58.x client can join it

[edgy pasture]

Youre gonna miss out on future updates and stuff tho

[hasty elbow]

the idea is to re-enable the updates once it's sorted and tested by others confirming the fix and no additional issues

its not a permanent solution, it's a bandaid to the current issue

[edgy pasture]

ahh i see

[pseudo sinew]

Does anyone know if the items getting deleted from using stack mods and dedis or just dedis are broken now?

[hollow solstice]

So like nothing in my players dedis again?

[willow veldt]

And after downloading, I have to copy paste it in my servers ?

[willow veldt]

If i load a backup before the update it's good ?

[frigid vine]

If WC reads this:
Thanks for you patch about the TinkerExploit. Next time, if you already add console messages what gehts deleted, can you please add more infos e.g. the tribeId or tribeName or playerEosHash that server owners can double check on their own? 🙂

Many thanks... now its really hard work to compare.

[stiff cape]

Do we need to disable steamCMD from trying to update?

[sullen barn]

anyone else have this problem of duped implants

my complete cluster have problems that players have duped implants

[hasty elbow]

Yes. If you use a .bat file, you can type REM in front of the line with steamcmd to comment it out/turn it into a REMark instead of an action to be taken. When you want updates again, just remove the REM from the start of the line.

EG: REM steamcmd.exe <etc etc>

[celest halo]

Download depot command does work with steamcmd also

[keen sparrow]

After these last server patches I realized that I have three active (meaning not like the dead char ones) implants icons in my inventory , what the... ?!?!!? 😅

[edgy pasture]

Im seeing that too, and there's reports of slot capping being reduced

[frigid vine]

yes, but just respawn and all good

[small ice]

@hasty elbow Hey i added u

[pseudo sinew]

I picked up 1 stone and was slot capped. 😆

Eveytime I transfer maps all my items get deleted and turned into implants

[simple thorn]

Same on my cluster not sure how to fix it 😦

[marsh elm]

Having the same issue

[pseudo sinew]

It's been a mess since the update. Lost all resources in dedis (using mod dedi so rollback the server doesn't fix) and if you transfer maps you just end up with an inventory full implants

[wind ravine]

Guess I need to wait for wildcard's fix

[stiff cape]

So I downloaded the old patch. But I can’t stop my bat file from updating to the newest patch.

[celest halo]

Remove the steamcmd update line from your start bat file, it should be its own bat file anyway so server does an update when you want it to and not try and update every time you start it

[lost siren]

So, people from Nitrado are screwed?

Since Nitrado controls the server version, for us there is no way to keep an older version, right?

Well, I will just move on. Tell everyone to farm everything again and that's it.

There is a problem indeed, when people travels through maps, they loose everything, even new items

[brazen nebula]

I noticed that my dinos stop maturing after a server restart, when noone logged on in the meantime. Is there any way to circumvent this? Strangely we never had this issue with previous servers

[hollow arch]

Hi, does anyone know how to resolve a failed connection bug on a non-dedicated server? I'm on Xbox.

[gaunt berry]

Is it OK to reset servers to get it updated or is it bugged still?

[amber spruce]

i have and it seem s to be ok

[gaunt berry]

Ok

[true estuary]

My players are having duped implants. One of them has 12. They are also losing items when transferring between servers. The duplicate implants happen on transferring as well as just logging in.

[opal sierra]

Is there a way to disable the transfer without server restart for unofficials? Is it controlled like the dynamicconfig?

[true estuary]

Not that I know of. But, it is happening to them just on login as well. So, it isn't totally transfer related.

[celest halo]

QA team needs to be fired 🤣

[sinful aspen]

Are the issues patched for unofficial? I don't want to rollback just to have the issues continue.
And if we are on Nitrado we will have to wait for a new fix for the current version, right?

[celest halo]

They just posted another issue with it in #announcements

[lime matrix]

This is where hosting your own servers and using an sql based transfer system comes in handy......doesn't get affected by the usual transfer issues

[lime matrix]

Need to revert whatever server you are on back to a version before the issues started. If it's single player....well....think that will need to wait if on a console.

[celest halo]

Single player should be fine game client hasn't had any updates

[gusty pawn]

Is there gonna be a fix to getting our resources that we actually grinded in the dedis that went missing or should we just click uninstall now

[celest halo]

Click uninstall now, if items are missing they not in the current save file so now way to magically put that info back into it

[gusty pawn]

Yall had lost over 2000 people in the past 3 months according to pop check list for asa this is gonna cause the game to collapse

Use to be 4700 when I started back
2 day ago 2300
Today gonna be in the 1000s somewhere

Watch

[sinful aspen]

Lets be real, modders are keeping the game afloat.

[gusty pawn]

Ase is worse so I agree pop is dead on both games

[lime matrix]

yeah, visual storage is what saved our bacon for the most part on my cluster. That doesn't use any dedicated storage logic.

[thin kettle]

Hi! Noticed that unofficial server I am playing on has had several people losing character if error crashes the game during or soon after transfer. As far as I know server config uses old save storage system via .arkprofile files. Been looking into this topic and so far it seems to be an easy-to-restore thing that happens due to new .arkprofile file not being saved for some time after transfer (even though it's created).

I was wondering about:

1. Does anyone has experience of .arkprofile files vs "-usestore" method?
2. Does "-usestore" lessen the amount of such character losses? Do such cases happen if server is changed for new save system?
3. How would one restore lost character if server is running new save system?

[celest halo]

#announcements transfers are broken right now

[harsh forge]

Any suggestions on how we "disable transfers" while still keeping the servers online?

[jaunty vortex]

Turn them off in the ini files.

[harsh forge]

No way to do this live though?

[sullen barn]

What is your setup for cluster im thinking to move to own hardware

[sullen barn]

Good question

[gentle niche]

So my gameusersettings has revreted to default, lost all my configs wtf

[lime matrix]

For Ark ascended I'm using this to host a cluster with

ASA Host
AMD Threadripper 3990x 64 core CPU 3.2GHz base clock
1TB NVME OS
1TB NVME SwapDrive
256GB Ecc 3200 DDR4 Ram
10Gb lan links

an improvement to that would be to place the servers on an sas or sata raid 10 array for failure redundancy

[noble ledge]

Any one had issues with items poofing NOT related to transfering? Oo

[lime matrix]

Yes, sometimes you find said things at 50/50 depending on what it is.

Structures, dinos in cryos, etc

[noble ledge]

I had a players modded DEDIs empty .... last night he said all was fine and today EMPTY Oo

[lime matrix]

That's a known bug introduced from the latest patch

[noble ledge]

LOVELY ty

[lime matrix]

roll back to prior server version, restore from backup

personally i've just blocked dedicated storage going forward and using visual storage as our storage system from now on. Using our testing server for people to recover their resources from but that's it.

[noble ledge]

Yea Im not sure what backup it would even be Oo

[lime matrix]

depedns on when you loaded the patch

[noble ledge]

Hypothetically what if I didnt do anything.....

to "sort" it

will it sort

[lime matrix]

Then, have to wait on the public branch patch for the fix. Until then dedis on unofficial will be bugged

and that won't restore what's lost

meantime, download_depot 2430930 2430931 8183181302411212287 is the version before it went sideways

can use your steam client to download the files

then ftp if you have to

to load them

[jaunty galleon]

So i'm a little confused but didn't they rollback the update that broke everything? we're still losing items in dedi's

[noble ledge]

Exactly Im so confused lol

[lime matrix]

on official they fixed it

hence the need to revert versions and load from a backup

[noble ledge]

ok ty I will try a rewind and see ty

[delicate fable]

so they say Unofficial servers are recommended to update to this version promptly if on v58.47 if im on .48 am i out of luck?

[lime matrix]

That I don't know, I just saw this version go live

Well, the announcment anyway

[haughty cairn]

Don't update to .48, it does not fix the issue.

[lime matrix]

Then back to version .36

and reload a backup

[haughty cairn]

keep to .36 ye

[lost siren]

Nitrado servers 😭

[jaunty vortex]

.48 came out 12 hours ago. Should this not be .49?

[celest halo]

They little slow on the patch notes

[delicate fable]

lol my servers on a daily reset i was not aware what was going on until i got up this monring

[celest halo]

.49 should be attemp 1 at transfer fix 🤣

[haughty cairn]

i disable auto updates yetserday, we lost one server that somehow ignored it

had to roll it back to .36

[delicate fable]

can you do that on Nitrado servers?

[haughty cairn]

LOL, As if i would use nitrado.

i doubt it

[delicate fable]

lol i know they suck they the olny server host that had ASA i wish i had my own equipment lol

[celest halo]

I doubt Nitardo would let you change the server files yourself also

[flat flume]

Lets hope this update fixes dedis once and for all

[haughty cairn]

We rented machines from hetzner and use GSA, waayy cheaper than using nitrado

[celest halo]

It hasn't for most 🤣

[delicate fable]

ummmm thinking 🤔

[flat flume]

Update isnt public yet

[celest halo]

.48 has been out for like 12 hours 🤣

[haughty cairn]

we have 12 servers, we could not afford if on nitrado lol. We get 2 dedicated machines that run 6 servers each for half the price

can prob run 8 on each

[delicate fable]

i hear about hetzner but idk what i was doing if i got one i host 8 servers

[delicate fable]

are the ping good i am in the US?

[haughty cairn]

hmm, we have US players with no issues

[stray flume]

im so confused, bcs in the morning is version 48 and where is 47 version? x.X

[haughty cairn]

.47 broke everything, .48 was released later last night to try fix, it didnt, now they released the patch note lol

[stray flume]

is a little problem bcs in server i have 48 in the morning, and is problem with dedicated server - storage , now i test update and no have hmm 😢

[celest halo]

Why would you have one if your on .48 already 🤣

[scarlet pewter]

who has servers on version 48 How to solve the deposit problem? i have all the server in cluster on nitrado at version 48, Please help Me

[jaunty galleon]

yeah .48 didn't fix the dedi's, players are still losing items on unofficial

[delicate fable]

Can I DM you questions?

[haughty cairn]

yup

[delicate fable]

i send you a friend rq

[lime matrix]

I have servers on .48 but I'm switching everyone over to using visual storage on my cluster. Using our test server on .36 to recover their loot from. This isn't the first time dedis have been poofed

But, I don't use crapnado either

self hosted

[haughty cairn]

give me few, tryin mitigate WC damage lol

[untold ginkgo]

@distant hearth So we’re trying to test the element code now and it’s not working for us, when the map comes back up it still says 1k dust for 1 element, any other advice please?

[devout rampart]

new version out, ok, but so i re enable transfers or not? Isn't clear (no words about in the patch notes)

[lime matrix]

no

[delicate fable]

you good lol we all in the same boat

[frigid vine]

Hrello 🙂 Somebody else noticed that babys sometimes over night not fully grow up? It looks like the progress stucks and conintues after you're online/in range

[scarlet pewter]

in cluster have 40 Tribe I hope they release something to fix the problem otherwise I think we will close all the servers

[celest halo]

Not really a new version .48 was released 13 hours ago

WC just slow with patch notes like everything else

[devout rampart]

#InternetExplorer

[devout rampart]

Noticed from steamdb, thanks

[celest halo]

And it's still broken 🤣

[river tinsel]

still broken here too

even with one day rollback

[open vigil]

What day reset the arkpocalypse?

[noble ledge]

Yea going back to 2 days ago even didnt work for us

.37 is like over a week ago Oo

[celest halo]

Need to go back like 11 years for that 🤣

[boreal solstice]

After a restore and the .48 patch.
My dedies are still empty. Except Element Dust, nacotics and gazolines... :/
I'm not ready to simply loose days of farm.

[wind ravine]

still broken on my servers too

[humble thicket]

Anytime someone joins my server or if I join while someone else is already in it crashes it

[indigo fjord]

How to fix the dedy issues on nitrado host? Still have the last version and no relsove the problem?

Roll back server but nothing

[noble ledge]

Same hasnt fixed my issues either -_-

[dim totem]

Need to update
If using nitrado just restart servers.
Not sure the fix is fixed though 🤣

[noble ledge]

Its not.

Mine were "up to date" and still jacked

[dim totem]

I would say avoid getting on until they announce things are fixed (and then watch chats to see if people are saying it is/isn't actually fixed)

[noble ledge]

Yea just Ima server owner

trying to sort so my players can get their stuff back Oo

[indigo fjord]

Wilcard need to solve his problem

They broke and no fix the unnoficial,lol

[noble ledge]

ARK gonna ARK sadly

[dim totem]

I had them screenshot their tames, player levels, and inventories just in case something tragic happens lol
I've disabled transfers too lol
Trying to save them from themselves 🤣

[sinful aspen]

So the latest announcement isn't a fix?

[noble ledge]

Nope not for unofficial

[upper falcon]

does disabling transfers actually help? anyone try?

[noble ledge]

When you say this do you mean there is a way to rollback the VERSION? Or do you mean rollback the save from when that old version was on?

[unreal grove]

i think the issue only happens if you transfer, at least that is my understanding

so yes by prevention?

[upper falcon]

ok thx, i havnt even been able to leave my base since all this madness started

[delicate fable]

lol we nitrado hosts are out of luck lol

[lapis jay]

Hi guys, I got server and we are using modes. Dedis are empty, my version 48. Is there any way to fix ? Someone told me that it is good idea to go back to 36 or we should wait for update from wc ?

many thanks 🍀

[lime matrix]

Does nitrado not have ftp access?

man, nitrado really is crap

[olive talon]

Has ftp, but it's like the bare minimum

[hollow ruin]

So patching and rolling back wont restore?

[celest igloo]

Hello..the dedis on my server are still empty...any solutions..? Backup..nothing helps..

[hollow ruin]

Hasnt been patched yet i was asking for when a working patch for nitrado is available

[buoyant yacht]

Do we need to restore a backup and roll back the version, or will a roll back fix the dedi issue? My last backup was right before I went into Alpha Tek Cave 😦 really don't wanna have to do that again

[tepid berry]

How many having the dedi issue are actually using the new save format? The one that requires the -converttostore to convert it and then uses the -usestore & -BackupPlayerTransferDatas flags?

[celest halo]

Save method should not matter that just moves players data to the world file instead of a .arkprofile files

All structures and structures inventory are in the main save no matter what

[celest igloo]

We have still this issue

[lost siren]

And now another bug. The black inventory weight one. Everytime I login, I put one thing in my inv, and the black weight appears.

I have to travel between beds to remove the black weight icon.

[shadow tulip]

is there not a way to transfer all on cosmetics anymore like if you have a bunch of chibis? you have to do them one by one into a vault now

[upper falcon]

And then comes right back once you go in your inventory again

[twin lantern]

@shadow tulip should be able to use the filter, or search bar. then move all across.

[shadow tulip]

ok, I was trying that. must have not clicked the right thing. I can do it taking it out of something but like placing them in vault didnt show a transfer all. ty

[twin lantern]

top of inventory should be 2 arrows crossing each other

[ancient bison]

Hello all, can anyone tell me how to configure turrets in the game.ini and the gameusersettings.ini, as they are doing 0 damage now (sorry for my english) on ASA

No one have any idea ?

[tepid berry]

Yeah, I'm not trusting that update until someone more daring than me confirms dedis aren't screwed up.

[celest halo]

It has nothing about dedis in the patch notes so they probably are 😂

[deep flower]

Oh god im with you guys haha

[celest igloo]

Should we restart the servers for the patch? Or is there something else coming...

[celest halo]

If you want to be an alpha tester go for it, I'd wait though 🤣

[celest igloo]

Oof haha

[celest halo]

4 patches in less then 24 hours don't look good 😂

[verbal spire]

Has anyone used Nitrado to set up a server? I need help connecting mine to my steam account and its reaaaaally frustrating. TIA

[distant hearth]

typical lack of QA i aint taking none lol

[celest halo]

You don't want to be QA that paid them to test it 🤣

[crimson mirage]

Hey, has anyone else done the updates on unofficial servers and the dedicated boxes still don't work?

[river tinsel]

still the same

[dense badger]

great

[river tinsel]

And I don't even know if there is a server restart it would probably happen again

[flat flume]

Has dedis been fixed for anyone by rolling back the save?

Since the latest patch was released

[river tinsel]

Nope

Nope

[peak sapphire]

Does the dedi storage fix from patch notes definitely work on unofficials now?

[unreal grove]

Does it fix the inventory glitch, none of my players are using dedicated storages

[river tinsel]

Nope and nope

[crimson mirage]

I updated to 58.8, then to 59.9 and it still doesn't work. I've restarted several times but unfortunately the fix doesn't work....

[keen monolith]

How do I make it so there’s no fall damage on my server, do I enter a specific code

[minor jetty]

MaxFallSpeedMultiplier=1
1 is default
increase the number to decrease fall damage
0,1 means a player wont survive a regular jump

[humble thicket]

My friend just rented a server and all dinos wild and tamed seem to be half in ground. Tamed ones are good till you get off. Even out characters are knee deep in ground.

[keen monolith]

Yeah that, happens on my extinction server Incertain spots mainly in the sanctuary

[keen monolith]

Ok thanks

[gusty pawn]

Are we gonna see a fix on our resources dollie or dollies crew

[soft smelt]

How do i change the maps on Gportal servers?

[minor jetty]

isnt there a dropdown menu?

[keen monolith]

Can you reset a server , like make everything go back to default

[soft smelt]

I selected scorched earth as a map. But the server won‘t show. It says it‘s online but when i reload the site it shows as offline

[minor jetty]

im not familar with gportal sorry

[soft smelt]

That‘s exactly what i try to acoif

[keen monolith]

I need to just reset my servers, they are so laggy and I’m non stop getting disconnected

[river tinsel]

i guess no one cares

[reef charm]

On a regular self-hosted server, there's a folder you can delete that basically wiped out the saved world/progress. Can probably do the same with gportal

[lavish gulch]

So there no way to go back to where all the dedicated storage were full?

Fucking annoying to have my whole server up ma ass when tehy update the game

[keen monolith]

I use nitrado

[reef charm]

I'm sure they have FTP support for game files

[keen monolith]

Ok thanks I’ll have a look

[reef charm]

You can never go wrong with regular backups

[crimson mirage]

Does the fix mean that the dedis will go away but the loot will be gone forever?

[distant hearth]

you will need to roll back the server to a save before they broke them , to get the loot back

[river tinsel]

doesn't work

even if you roll back 10 days

[distant hearth]

double check your server version on latest bout all i can think, all though they made a mess of server versions, i think,
v58.49 shud be latest

[river tinsel]

yes got it already

[halcyon onyx]

So on our solo duo server all maps are working besides the center it's not showing up on server list but every other map is what do we do?

[river tinsel]

but nothing change 😦

[gloomy yew]

so sorry if i missed the solution , are we still waiting for a fix because rolling back my nitrado server isnt restoring the dedi items

[distant hearth]

reading up it seems its still broken for alot people :/

[river tinsel]

yep, and no news

[solar granite]

💩 RIP Dedi Storage 🤡

[bright zodiac]

what dose host tether range do?

[remote zephyr]

any update on addressing connection timeouts for multi Xbox clients hitting a steam unofficial server for extinction?

[minor jetty]

i rolled back with previous version and dedis are filled

[river tinsel]

yep but that's not an option, when you will update to a newer version you will have the issue again

[minor jetty]

ye but every player can safe the resources in other storages. not all but important things like Element

[haughty cairn]

Disable auto updates, they are only server side, so people can still join. It's if they release a client side update, without fixing, then we screwed

[stark robin]

Hi 👋 I travel to other maps and all my stuff and my players also loose they're stuff 😭

[gentle niche]

Anyone that can help me with cluster setup? like ima need someone to explain like im 5 XD if i make a separate bat file with the new map name and new directory what else do i need to add?

[humble thicket]

I have a mod on my server thats called “just wants to cuddle” it’s for imprinting on baby Dino’s but it doesn’t seem to work do I need to add something to the files or should I just download a new mod for that entirely

[tepid berry]

@humble thicket probably need to ask the mod author about that.

[wise kindle]

You can try reinstalling the mod but the best thing to do is contact the mod creator by joining the discord and check to see if its a known bug.

[wind ravine]

At least you can rollback the version, I need to wait for nitrado

[sleek sphinx]

Does anyone know if it's safe for me to re-enable transfers on my servers?

[narrow fulcrum]

Hi,

I have an issue where the OSD loots don’t drop the amount they should, as indicated when I check them with a spyglass.
Even if I stop a Legendary after 36 waves, it still gives fewer items compared to an official server.
In such cases, the spyglass shows that there should still be loot remaining in the drop.
Additionally, even if I increase the quality of the drops, the OSD doesn’t apply it, only the cave loot does. On high multipliers, it also doesn’t give certain items like auto parts or traits.

Could anyone help with this?
Is this a configuration issue, or am I missing something?

[tepid berry]

Just applied .49 to my unofficial Island server, dedis are fine, nothing missing. Transferred with items, nothing missing. Time to upgrade the rest! 😄

Still "Fatal World Leak"ing on xfers though >_>

[merry pewter]

we have dino depot mod and when the dinos in fight with other dinos you cant take them in the soul ball ( is there a way to make it work even in fight with dinos )

[humble thicket]

It’s working now all of a sudden so ima just leave it

Seems like as soon as I say something whatever is acting dumb starts working properly right away

[last magnet]

that's usually how I get things fixed too, lol

I think the latest version had something that fixed my crash issue so far. took 12 minutes to boot up with 178 mods on the island. might be the fresh map too

[shadow estuary]

Is anyone able to help me with hiding an engram on my server?

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TeslaCoil_C",EngramHidden=True)
This is what I have been trying to put into my config files but it still shows up on in game engrams what am I doing wrong?

[last magnet]

it's actually OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Steampunk_TeslaCoil_C",EngramHidden=True)

[shadow estuary]

okay so is the Steampunk something needed for all of bobs tails stuff?

[last magnet]

I believe so, let me check

yep, you'd need steampunk for the part 2 stuff, Wasteland for Part 3 and Frontier for part 1

and make sure it goes into Game.ini for blocking engrams

[haughty cairn]

#1110925695900713072 is prob best bet

[tepid berry]

178 mods?! Holy hell, how in the world would you ever need that many?!

[last magnet]

I like building and collecting creatures

[tepid berry]

Is that literally every creature mod that exists for the game?

[last magnet]

nope!

[tepid berry]

That many mods are sure to cause server instability.

[last magnet]

it's for my personal use, not to have others play on it

I've had some issues, but mostly if WC changes things like BPs or a new map

[tepid berry]

Yeah, that's great and all, just be aware that you're likely to come across weirdness with that large number of mods. You're basically relying on a large number of people to keep their mods up to date, bug free, etc.

[last magnet]

well yes, I'm aware

I get rid of problematic mods if they have an ongoing issue, and pick from well known devs who fix their stuff when needed

plus a lot of my issues were hardware more than the software

[tepid berry]

How do you find problematic mods with that many? Divide and conquer? Binary elimination?

[deep flower]

178 mods good god!

[last magnet]

if they haven't been updated in a while, they go. if the mod maker stops making mods, I look for replacements

I remote in to the server, and make sure I have backups and I'll disable mods, then start up to narrow down

and that's after I go see in the various discords of any issues popping up especially after major versions

I also sort my mods by the dev recs and if not recommended it's global creature modifications/creature mods adding new creatures/structures/decor/weapons & misc/. so most structure mods are very stable, I keep an eye on Klinger's stuff bc they've had issues before, but not recently. It's the creature mods that can break the most, so they're close to the top so I can test w/o losing my structures/resources. I can always tame up a new creature, but I hate losing my bps/saddles/resources

[keen monolith]

I’m adding custom drops files to the coding, do I add that to game ini or game user settings

[last magnet]

game.ini

[keen monolith]

Thankyou☺️

[last magnet]

no problem!

[modest wraith]

whats the best hosting website to rent a server?

[tepid berry]

There's only 1 official place you can rent a server for ASA: Nitrado. Unless you rent a VPS and then set up the unofficial server yourself that way.

[worthy rapids]

On my unofficial server, bp of armor, weapons and saddles are too high compared to the official server. What needs to be set in order to have the same settings as official?

[bleak ivy]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#ItemStatClamps:~:text=and without spaces.-,ItemStatClamps,-NOTE%3A The
ItemStatClamps[1]=19800
ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

[worthy rapids]

And I guess ClampItemStats to true?

[bleak ivy]

yeah.

[worthy rapids]

Do you know if we can wipe all existing items that are over the cap? (I'm not sure if the previous items would get scaled down automatically?)

[bleak ivy]

"WARNING: This will permanently change the stats of any existing items so make sure to backup your current save before modifying and playing with the clamping values."

[worthy rapids]

awesome!

Thanks a lot!

[bleak ivy]

there are also the new ones for ASA #patch-notes message
don't know exactly how they work tho.

[worthy rapids]

Do you know if I should do all 0-7 instead of only 1 and 3 for all official values and set them all to 19800?

[bleak ivy]

officials just sets those 2 afaik.

[worthy rapids]

ah kk

[bleak ivy]

don't think the others really change much besides dura.

[keen monolith]

Is there any other way I can buy mods on Xbox, the in game mod list doesn’t work, for days I’ve been trying to buy nemesis but it just says try again later

[bleak ivy]

that is the only way to buy mods. something could be wrong with your account settings.

[keen monolith]

Nah I’ve bought mods before

It’s just the last couple days that have been poop

[keen monolith]

What do I put for Auto pve end and start

[stable remnant]

How do I set up a nitrado server for free

[distant hearth]

you dont, there paid for servers, all you can do is search for one that exists and join that

or rent your own

[wise flame]

Nitrado is paid for they don't do free servers

[indigo fjord]

Any solution to empty dedis on nitrado servers yet?

[stable remnant]

I was told that self hosted server was free

[keen monolith]

U can go in to create server on the game

But public servers aren’t free

[distant hearth]

self hosted is free, has nothing to do with nitrado, you need a pc thats good enough to run the server and good internet, time an patience to learn how

[keen monolith]

Better just paying like 20-30 bucks a month

[distant hearth]

err no lol, nitrado servers are awful , self hosted run way better

[keen monolith]

Well I don’t have that choice on Xbox lol

[distant hearth]

not a good reason to say better to rent nitrado

[keen monolith]

Don’t have to rent nitrado there’s other sites

[distant hearth]

not legit for ark ascended ,
ark evolved g portal are ok

[keen monolith]

Ehh I’ve never really had to deal with it tbh, I’ve always been apart of someone’s server, until like a week ago, I just want to play my own with friends and my own choice of mods

I got an extinction server with primal nemesis and a astreaos server

[boreal solstice]

At home, My old ten years old PC is our server and I play with my wife and childs. We are on PS ans Xbox 😉
For ASE I had paid Nitrado but it was really bad.

[boreal solstice]

Don't see anything yet... :/

[worthy rapids]

I've set the ItemStatClamps to 19800, but I went to a cave and the first BP that drop is at cap at 298. What do I need to change to get official rates? I also have OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 @bleak ivy

[dense badger]

Personally I don't think they care about the dedi server to spend time to fix it dedibox

[upbeat pier]

My PS5 singleplayer keeps crashing as soon as it's opened, what can I do?

[river tinsel]

If you use the cs mod, he fixed the problem, dedi are now filled up

[sturdy summit]

hello
i need help for ASE server (Bearbeitet)
i have start script for my ASE server and after mod update talk my ase client the server have not the mods was my client have (Bearbeitet)

[gentle niche]

My server isnt backing up properly all of a sudden :S i get the anti corruption back up but thats it, no other back ups, usually theres a bunch with the time and date :S

[boreal solstice]

In my script I personnaly do a copy a the start and at the end of the server.
I don't trust this random auto backup System.

[sturdy summit]

nice support from dc
I wonder why there is this dc eigl if there is no support in any way

[celest halo]

That's why we make our own backups and don't rely on WC making backups

[gentle niche]

do you just copy the save files somewhere or is there a way to automate it? just a bit strange like i said before i used to have quite a lot of them, in my config files the server autosave is set to every mins :S

[celest halo]

I have a Cron job that runs every hour and makes a .tar.gz file of the full saved folder and moves the tar.gz file to an other computer on my lan

[deep flower]

Hey stolen did you update to the new version yet or you still waiting?

[celest halo]

and keeps 36 of them

[celest halo]

Will be doing it when I get home now that CS has an update out

[deep flower]

Ok cool I did see that yeah

[celest halo]

Going to do my test server first

Then if that works do one by one on my cluster checking each as I go

[gentle niche]

I have no idea what that is lmao 😅 can you explain how to do it if you don't mind please

[celest halo]

I run mine on Linux, windows don't have crontab or native way of making .tar.gz files

[dense badger]

What's this

Mod ?

[gentle niche]

oh 😞 manual copy and paste it is then XD

[gentle niche]

Whilst you're here......im trying to set up my first cluster, if i copy my current BAT file and change the map name and directory name, do i just need to add the cluster ID to both of the files? is there anything else i'd need to do?

[celest halo]

There is a pin from @jaunty vortex with a Powershell script for doing backups in this channel

[river tinsel]

Cyber structure

[dense badger]

Thank you

[celest halo]

Maybe I run all mine on different VMs so need to set the clusterdir also, not sure what's all needed if they on the same comp

[jaunty vortex]

Might need updating to add other maps. Although it’s not too difficult to see how.

[dense badger]

@river tinsel if I add the mod will it do anything ?

[celest halo]

Yeah was for @gentle niche , I use Linux so my way won't work for them lol

[gentle niche]

Whats the benefit to running them on VMs?

Sorry i'm a bit...computer illiterate XD i just about managed setting up a server lol

[celest halo]

Nothing really, let's me keep them totally separate and my server runs a hypervisor so everything is a VM

[river tinsel]

nope it's only if you have it already

[dense badger]

Dam 😢

[frigid vine]

Do you mean really NPCReplacements(...) or also ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer(...) broken?

[pure haven]

what i meant is that NPCReplacements wont actually replace any dinos as it should, its only use is to block spawns but not replace one dino with another. Spawn containers command are working fine if you know how to use them

[olive talon]

NPCReplacements has been broken since ASE unfortunately ^^

[frigid vine]

Thanks for reply. Ok, i'm using the second method, but i'm unlucky. Simply wanna replace the default spawns for carno island (via ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer).

[pure haven]

are you using Beacon omni for editing or you doing it manually?

[frigid vine]

I'm using the beacon tool.

Sadly i can't post the code (too long). You wanna a DM?

[pure haven]

sure you can send me

[verbal spire]

So neither i or anyone else in my server can pickup foundations/walls/anythiing once placed. IT's only allowing it to be destroyed. I use Nitrado for my server, can anyone help me ? TIA

[fossil ginkgo]

Any server still empty dedis? How to fix that?

[fathom dust]

anyone know good mod same like GameserverApp ?

[bleak ivy]

make sure that drop didn't exist beforehand. check the loot quality setting, make sure its at 1.0

[violet latch]

hey, is there a way to increase how many times the wild king titan spawns? I know I can change the time but I have ppl from different time zones playing on my server.

[worthy rapids]

I've ended up putting SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier=0.4

For some reason, 1.0 is almost always giving out cap BPs in red cave crates

[bleak ivy]

officials may change it, no idea.

[worthy rapids]

I wish they published all official settings somewhere

[bleak ivy]

does 0.4 work? wiki says 1.0 is the lowest

[celest halo]

Don't we all, but it's been 10+ years so I don't see it ever happening

[worthy rapids]

yeah it works, tested at 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 and 1.0, the change is obvious

[toxic hazel]

If using modded ones, the mod creator will need to fix them then you can restore a backup. I know CS, B+ and Klingers have been sorted already

[worthy rapids]

I wonder if it would be possible to get that info by using -UseDynamicConfig and fetch the setting used by the official servers that way. I'm not sure if the file gets downloaded locally for us to see.

[toxic hazel]

Yeah I believe it just reads it from the link, it wont download it

[worthy rapids]

yeah, that's what I thought. Maybe it would be possible to read the values in game with ShowMyAdminManager or maybe a mod that gives out more data.

[merry pewter]

we have dino depot mod and when the dinos in fight with other dinos you cant take them in the soul ball ( is there a way to make it work even in fight with dinos )

[buoyant yacht]

Is there a way to spwan more than one stack of an item?

[bleak ivy]

that stuff is whats in #server-rates

[bleak ivy]

look for the damage check setting. don't know what its called but dino depot has the ingame menu

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure you can only spawn in 1 stack. bigger stacks raises that limit tho.
just use the command multiple times or stack commands with |

[buoyant yacht]

Oh you can chain commands together that might work, I was gonna do a script but that might be faster

[merry pewter]

from ingame or files?

[bleak ivy]

doesn't matter, do whichever way you do the other dino depot settings.

[merry pewter]

so the mod we can just install and uninstall it and not change anything on it
idk where we can find the dino depot settings..

[bleak ivy]

if you are ingame its in the radial menu while you have admin.
if you mean files then its in gameusersetting the curseforge page has a link to all the settings.

[celest halo]

There is not much in the official dynamic config file

[merry pewter]

there is nothing about the curseforge page in setting of what i see
but im try ingame x.x ( should i hold the gun with me or ? )

[bleak ivy]

yes. the part is configuration, has a link to a google doc

[fathom dust]

can we change alpha dino loot ?

[jaunty vortex]

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=true
in GameUserSetrtings.ini

[tepid berry]

Soooooooooooooooooooooo -- heads up - StasisKeepControllers; even though it's marked as ASA compatible -- Currently causes my server to crash shortly after startup.

[humble totem]

can someone help me, im strying to play ASE with a friend of mine but i have a game from shared library, and it doesnt let it me join bcs, its a shared library? can i just host?

[wise flame]

Going through nitrado isn't self hosting, nitrado are the host so you pay them for their servers

[merry pewter]

yeah found it in game thanks

[gentle niche]

why do i keep losing element? :S

in storage

[valid escarp]

does anyone know what kind of specs would be needed for servers

Like if I wanted to host island through extinction

[valid escarp]

Hardware wise

[bleak ivy]

don't need much besides RAM. good CPU and 64GB RAM.
each server uses 7-12GB RAM. will be outside that if they don't have many people and can go way above that if they have a lot of people and mods.

[jaunty vortex]

Even mods are not too painful unless you add a load of dinosaur or structure mods

[valid escarp]

Don’t plan on much mods if any at all

[valid escarp]

Ram speed matter much?

[jaunty vortex]

not really

[bleak ivy]

faster is better lol

[valid escarp]

Like should I go for a ddr5 build or ddr4 is fine

[bleak ivy]

DDR4 is fine

[jaunty vortex]

I run these

Super Cryo Storage (933099)
Death Recovery Mod (930404)
JVH Blueprint Maker (951440)
MarniiMods Hairstyles (949521)
Nevermore Taxidermy (949298)
Utilities Plus (928621)

[jaunty vortex]

go with cheap. Having a boat load of RAM and a fairly recent CPU is the main thing. You don't even need good graphics, just enough to put a display on a monitor

[valid escarp]

Makes sense

I have a 6700xt laying around so I was just gonna throw that in

So I have overkill in graphics lol

[jaunty vortex]

I have a Ryzen 5700G with 128GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM and 2TB of storage, which is ample

[valid escarp]

That’s a good bit

[jaunty vortex]

I run 8 Ark servers and a ton of Minecraft servers though

still have 40GB free

[valid escarp]

I was considering a 12400f so seems like I should be fine

Just gonna need more ram lol

[jaunty vortex]

that would be overkill

[valid escarp]

Yeah I just saw a good deal for it

[jaunty vortex]

you're not going to be held back by it, put it that way

[valid escarp]

Plus I heard that you should apparently have like 1 core per server just so you know it’ll be fine

[valid escarp]

Plus with the 6700xt I could actually use it for some games

Like if I have someone over

I was looking into having ecc ram but do you think it would matter much at all?

[jaunty vortex]

my CPU is running around 13% right usage now

[valid escarp]

I would have to find a specific mobo that supports it

[valid escarp]

Ic so worse cpu would def be fine

Maybe a 12100f then

[jaunty vortex]

running the server isn't that heavy duty, despite what it's actually doing (i.e. running a simulated world)

[valid escarp]

True

I do kinda want it to be able to run some games as well

Just cus

[jaunty vortex]

probably want more RAM then. if you run Ark on the same hardware, don't use 7777 for any servers. It will clash

[steep vessel]

can someone help me i get two times at this day need to do a new charachter and now i cant join my tribe can someone from wildcard help me

[valid escarp]

Good to know

[valid escarp]

Should I try to get ecc supported ram and mobo or just get stuff that’s a good deal

[jaunty vortex]

if it's no more expensive you could. But you won't need it. you're not running something mission critical

[valid escarp]

Fair

I know a good bit about computers but pretty much nothing about server hosting lol 😅

[jaunty vortex]

I'd probably be looking for something as low power as possible if it's going to be on 24x7

[valid escarp]

Makes sense

do you think 64gb would be enough for like 4 servers with minimal to no mods?

Or maybe bump it up to like 96

[jaunty vortex]

you'd get 6 servers on that

Like Desolate Pumpkin said earlier

[valid escarp]

They said up to 12gb so I was tryna be sure

Well 7-12

[jaunty vortex]

average 10GB per map

some use more, some less

[valid escarp]

I’ll probably make a list for both am4 and lga 1700 to see what’s cheaper

[vague gale]

Can we all stop paying for anything else they push out, until they give us what we want. Make them struggle just the way they make us struggle with the lag and b s 1x raising

[celest halo]

I'd only do ECC if running Linux and using a zfs file system

[valid escarp]

What ram speed is best for a more budget oriented one?

[valid escarp]

I doubt I’d be doing that so I won’t need it then

Thanks

[jaunty vortex]

go with whatever is cheap and you can get a lot of. Oh and compatible

[valid escarp]

Compatibility is key

[jaunty vortex]

From memory, Intel CPU's prefer tighter timings, AMD like bandwidth

[distant hearth]

ddr4 is fairly cheap now days, even in 3200, but as long as its matching kit be fine, dont mix an match unless you absolutely have too , bench test it alot too if mix match to ensure stability

[valid escarp]

Yo it’s w1llz

Been a while

[jaunty vortex]

I tend to buy Crucial/Micron because the warranty and support are good

[distant hearth]

i was sick for a couple weeks , been busy catch up onmissed work

[valid escarp]

Been a lot more than a couple weeks lol

[jaunty vortex]

they replaced my nvme drive when it wouldn't firmware update. Let me keep the existing one

[valid escarp]

Hope you feeling better tho

[valid escarp]

I was planning on getting like a p3 plus I believe

[jaunty vortex]

have a look at T500

My main rig has 3 of those. 2TB, 2TB & 4TB

look for something with a decent TBW figure.

i.e. how many times you can write to the drive

[valid escarp]

I think like a year?

[valid escarp]

I gtg for now but could I add you and we continue this later?

[jaunty vortex]

600TBW for a 1TB drive is good. 1200TBW for a 2TB, etc

[valid escarp]

Maybe throw a couple lists together

[jaunty vortex]

sure

I'm no good with intel hardware though 😉

you can post it in here, others can comment too then

[valid escarp]

Do they allow links?

Ig I could just type it myself lol

[jaunty vortex]

no, just post plain text specs

[valid escarp]

Maybe we throw together an am4 as well then

I fr gtg now so thanks and see you later

oh wait you have to add me

Doesn’t let me add you

[delicate fable]

dose anyone know where the players save files at on nitrado server?

[lunar cloud]

I've noticed an issue with Crypod timers. It seems the Crypod timer internally uses its own expiry timestamp and calculates its expiry time based on the timestamp it stores minus current date\time.
Issue with this is when you stop your server to take a break for couple days and start the server again, the Cryopod calculates its expiry and everything over date immediately expires and dies. The Cryopod does not consider server uptime as part of its calculation.

Anyone else experience this ?

[stable remnant]

Why do people put that cyro fridge thing all over the map?

[celest halo]

thats normal for most things, most things go off a real time timestamp

[viscid holly]

someone know the file name of the cunning cave?

[lunar cloud]

thats a pity, really poor game design if thats the case

Something is definitely going on and not even sure if thats the case. I have local instances of my same server running. Those servers have also been paused, but when started all the cryos are fine and there is still thousands of gasoline in the generators.
When i restore the last backup to it, cryos are dead and gasos are gone in the generators.

Luckily I have made backups now of the local instances and overrode the backups to restore my real servers.

Im not even certain if its a timestamp issue anymore as one set of old saves worked , but another similar dated saves did not 😕

[loud raft]

Hey all, I'm trying to host a non dedicated server on my pc for my friend to join on Xbox but it says failed to connect when she tries to, any help?

[reef charm]

I think you need a dedicated server for that...

[loud raft]

When I try to host a dedicated server I can't seem to play the game, it just takes me to a black screen with server info

Im on the windows store version

[dusk dove]

Hi everyone, me and my pals are planning on creating an unofficial server. To do this we’re looking for a coder, payment involved. Send me a message if your interested 🤩

[reef charm]

What are you doing that requires a programmer? Just curious

[dusk dove]

Were planning on starting a fiber craft server so we need someone to code it for us 🤞🏼

[distant hearth]

cheaper to buy ark beacon omni, unless you really dont want to spend a few hours learning how use, it does fibre craft coding at the click of a button ,

i cud prob help you out but i wont be around much next couple days and off to bed now, dm me exactly what it is you want if its simple and i get chance over the weekend will do it for nowt

[verbal spire]

need help, I added someone to my tribe and about 2/3 of my dinos became "unclaimed" and I have no idea what happened? Its saying i have to wait 7 days to claim

[patent heron]

Does anyone know the exact command it would be to spawn a giga with 120 melee and random the rest of the stats and a stego with 120 hp and the rest random

[distant hearth]

not possible i know of, just have spawn a few in an get as close as possible , then destroy the others

[patent heron]

Ok I thought it was thanks

[distant hearth]

maybe some mods can do it , idk , but never known an normal command that can do stats

[bleak ivy]

think dino depot can.

might not be able to do random since thats a weird request could just do a random outside the game from the remainder of the level when making the command 🤷

yeah, you have to be exact. get the level you want to give and randomize the rest out of game when making the command.

[bleak ivy]

there is the spawnexactdino command but that is a super long command that will crash the game if even 1 thing is wrong lol.

[distant hearth]

never heard of it lol, i suppose the fact its possible is a bonus

[bleak ivy]

I'd just recommend using dino depot since they have a command builder. otherwise just don't? lol. spawn RNG dinos until you get one.

[distant hearth]

ohh i see theres a command builder app for that exactspawn command, i guess that makes it easy for people. will have rem that

[bleak ivy]

dino depot the mod has its own to spawn them in the pod

I imagine there is one for spawnexactdino as well, but who knows if it still works

lot of those old stuff for ASE stopped running.

[distant hearth]

yea i just seen a disclamier for that command you gave lol,
Warning:
Creatures spawned with this method are broken until cryo'd.
Maybe even twice. You have been warned!

[jaunty vortex]

You should be able to do a non-dedicated server between Windows Store and Xbox.

[bleak ivy]

dedicated server hosting through the game can't be played while hosting.
non-dedi between PC xbox and xbox are crossplay for both ASA/ASE.

[heavy ore]

How do I disable cheats on ASE pc?

[edgy phoenix]

I'm host of a few Nitrado servers with difficulty set to 10 and lots of high level blueprints, meks and tames on the servers.

I've avoided this recent update because I was worried that it'll destroy a lot of players legitimate blueprints and meks, is it safe for me to download the update now or should I be doing something first?

[distant hearth]

nitrado servers usually restart delay and will just update then anyway even if you tell them to ignore minor updates.
likely you are on the latest update and dont realise ,
can check in the log files an see what version u on

[robust nymph]

Can we not use spyglass and stuff from tames anymore?

[edgy phoenix]

What?

I chose not to update. I am giving you that information, I'm not confused about which version I'm on.

I'm on 58.36 and haven't updated in a week.

I'm wondering, when I update, will it wipe the high level meks or blueprints?

[bleak ivy]

they should be optional settings I doubt they have defaults.

[distant hearth]

im saying nitrado servers do not usually give a choice of what version you are on , they are set to auto update when they do the daily restart

[olive talon]

Nitrado doesn't have any settings for those force wipes atm, so it should not wipe any. It also doesn't have the maxblueprint configs yet either.

[olive talon]

Both of my servers have auto updates off, but one will auto update anyway while the other will not.

[distant hearth]

oh i see is that a new setting then ?
they used only have only an option for ignore minor updates untill next restart,(they wud literally kick u out mid game to take a minor update with no warning).
Then everyday the server would shut down to do nitrados full backup of files, on restart it wud auto update to what ever version was latest

[olive talon]

I just never set up automated restarts and have the minor update option turned off. My island server stayed on 58.36 until today when I updated it, while SE updated on its own despite having the same settings. Nitrado is just goofy.

[distant hearth]

ugh weird, they used restart every 24hrs on there own , no matter what, all we cud do was control the time it restarted, which always varied by like 5-10mins anyway lmao

[edgy phoenix]

My servers don't daily restart, they haven't updated, they aren't set to auto update and I'm just asking if this new update will effect all of the high level meks and blueprints on my cluster. Why are you ignoring the question and assuming that I don't know what I'm saying?

[distant hearth]

apologies , they have changed the way they work and i hadnt realised. bee answered the question above

[edgy phoenix]

Thank you for this response. Do you expect that they're coming? We had an issue in the past where every tame above 450 was wiped, which was a lot of them. Because they added a new setting that came forced with an update.

[olive talon]

The command launch options shouldn't be added as a default, since Nitrado doesnt have launch params. The new settings might come eventually though

[celest halo]

WC didnt add that forced set setting that was all Nitardo's doing

[upbeat pier]

I've gotten rid of all my mods and deleted my old singleplayer save but I'm still crashing on PS5

[midnight harness]

anyone with extinction server having issues with PlayStation players constantly DCing? they dont have any issues on any of the other maps i have on my cluster besides extinction and they are all configured and running the same mods

[autumn tree]

Anyone down to make a fresh pve extinction save?

[wheat sluice]

I'm working on a PVE server..., but this isn't the place to ask. Nor is it ready xD

That being said. Is there a site or so, that allows your to test server settings? I plan to make a particularly harder version of natural game that will be PVE. Oni want to change how things effect you in game. From fortitude, to hazards will be much harsher, and unforgiving if you mess up.

Not sure if I have to just buy a server and test it out one by one, or if there is an easier way.

[distant hearth]

this is the place to ask , its all about helping with server setup

[wheat sluice]

figure that would be recruitment

apologies

[distant hearth]

Thre isnt really a site that allows you test , most people have a test server or test alot before allowing public on it ,
here has a list of most server settings,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

Ark beacon omni app/programme will make your life alot easier, get the free version an have a look at what it can do!! Then decide for what u want to do it wud cost something like $20 for a year though, but believe me its so nice when u learn how use it .

Either way u decide to go , most of the settings are multipliers so be carefull how crazy you go on them, damage and resistance multipliers, food an water drain etc, u can adjust them to far easy etc etc .
make food an water drain too fast, you will just login, pass out then die lol

[wheat sluice]

Yeah, I ran one way back in ASE, where like on aberration. Mushrooms were more deadly and such. Most of the changes are to the creatures. Finding a healthy balance where Wild is still dangerous even with tames. Buffing up their states while minimizing our own. Then adjusting traits and mutations for specifc roles in the tribe. It was a lot of fun back in ASE so, I'm woring on recreating it in ASA

So, I wanted to ask if those settings are still similar for ASA server set up. I think Nitrado is the only one atm, and I wasn't that famaliar with it

I usually used Gportal through syntac usually.

[gentle sail]

okay so my wood stone and metal all have the same hp is that normal? how do I fix that?

[wheat sluice]

Anyone know a safe amount of slots to allow for a server? or should I ask ahead and order accordingly? No real point in spending extra if only a few want it right?

[distant hearth]

you can always upgrade if needed. most servers dont get very busy all at same time

[jaunty vortex]

Minimum 20 on nitrado. If you want less you need to run your own.

[humble thicket]

wich mod are you guys using to get higher dino spawn levels? it seems that the custom dino levels isnt working anymore

[distant hearth]

can we expand on higher dino spawn levels?
As in higher maximum spawn level? i.e 150.
Higher amount dinos on map ?
or using custom dino levels to alter the amount of higher or lower levl dinos you see on the map ?

[humble thicket]

using custom dino levels to alter the amount of higher or lower level dinos you see on the map <-- This one

[distant hearth]

can you post the code you use to set it up ?
i.e i use rag type levels so have it set like this in my gus,

MaxDeinonLevel=30.0
MaxDrakeLevel=38.0
MaxLevel=30.0
MinDeinonLevel=1.0
MinDrakeLevel=1.0
MinLevel=1.0
MinMagmaLevel=1.0 MaxMagmaLevel=30.0
WantsEqualLevels=False
WantsHighLevels=False
WantsRagLevels=True```

[humble thicket]

and the mod is working on your server? because on mine isnt working/have some issues

one of the bugs is this one

Creatures that should always be level 1:

• Meganeura
• Titanomyrma (Soldier & Drone)
• Trilobite
• Piranha
• Coelacanth
• Sabertooth Salmon
• Ammonite
• Cnidaria
• Leech (and Diseased Leech)
• Eurypterid

[distant hearth]

none of those are supposed be only level 1, they use same lvl settings as every other dino

[humble thicket]

and thats one of the issues i get, those dinos have also levels like meganeura lvl 150😅 and i used the same ini as you or close to it)

going to try a plugin and see how it works

[distant hearth]

i dont get it lol, meganura in hard caves go way higher than your normal dino max level.
which is worked out by 30 times "Y" where Y is the overrideoficialdifficulty value set in gus.
i.e 30 x 5 = 150 max lvl normal dino to spawn , or the default 30 x 1 = 30 max level etc .

cave dinos spawn way higher than normals in some caves

[humble thicket]

oh true! in caves those dinos have higher levels, that's true. let me restart with a dinowipe and see if it works good with your ini. ty buddy for your help 😉

[distant hearth]

there is a formulat to work out the max level of cave dinos too, i just cant rem what it is

[brisk verge]

Hey all, has anyone got a proper fix for the dedicated storages showing blank contents?

[languid forge]

Can someone please help me understand this? I am playing Temptress Lagoon. When I am outside my Metal Base, my Heat Resist is 711. However, the moment I walk inside my base and the home icon appears with home buffs, my Heat Resist drops to -483, causing me to start dying. This situation is perplexing; it seems I am better off living outside because it is too hot inside any base. Even in a wooden base, my Heat Resist drops from 711 to -109.

Is there any way to adjust the base buff on my dedicated server?

[crystal mantle]

ypu can host and play a the same time. on the same account even. just cant play a player on the host machine. i can host 3 maps and still log on and i get a fps 20+ when i do.

Context matters. They are hosting through the game which means ASE. They are playing through Xbox which means they can't host with the out of game tools.

[rocky pendant]

So I have a cluster on Nitrado for Ascended. Only 2 maps for now, Island and Extinction. Someone else in the same house with their own computer is trying to get on the Extinction server, but always ends up Timing out.
They've never been timed out on The Island. What I found interesting is that if we transfer a character from The Island over to Extinction, everything seems to be fine. But for some reason, whenever we try to log into Extinction from that PC straight-up, it always seems to be guaranteed to Time out. Currently, there are 4 of us playing on this cluster, and I haven't heard of this constant timing out happening to the other 2. I don't ever seem to time out either.
I'm inclined to believe that this has nothing to do with Mods since both servers have the exact same mods.

Any help/Advice here?

And to be more specific in case it helps.
They are able to get into the server, but are essentially invincible, No Dinos anywhere, and are able to walk around for less than a minute before getting timed out.

From my perspective, their character stops sleeping, but will immediately go back to sleeping before they can fully load into the server

[rocky pendant]

I stand corrected. After talking with my friend who is helping pay for the other server, turns out the other one is having the same time out issues specifically when it comes to Extinction.

[merry pewter]

is there a command to revive last dino died ?

[restive heron]

I’m loosing my mind how do I find server boost history on Nitrado

[bleak ivy]

probably taking too long to load so the server/game is disconnecting them

[versed hollow]

I host a crossplay cluster and I have certain members that are unable to join for a long period of time(timed out error) and once they do they disconnect a while after then get the same issue but there are other people on the same platform playing/joining the servers with no issues any help would be greatly appreciated

[rough brook]

Is there a cheat for the Tribe Tower to speed up the process?

[delicate fable]

anyone know how to lower the spawn rate of corrupted dino for OSD

[violet latch]

hey, i am trying to figure out what time the king titan spawns on my server. I know it spawns at 1900 local time but who's local time? I am on nitrado, I guessed that since the time of the server reset is set at 6pm and its 6pm for me that maybe it would be my time. I put in the setting into the GUS ini "WorldBossKingKaijuSpawnTime=16:00:00" and waited for 4 pm my time last night. nothing happened. So i checked for what the UTC time was compared to mine and thought maybe it would spawn this morning at 8 or 9am... still nothing... any help would be appreciated

[little ocean]

Does anyone know how the new item max quality setting works?

Im trying to get it to work on sp but quality is still standard max

[bold fox]

Me and my friends have a problem with our sever it won't let anyone join but nitrado says the sever is running fine and we even tried restarting the whole sever and we still can't join if anyone can help we would really appreciate it

[spare raft]

Hello, I have a problem with random ping rises. What could this be due to? I didn't have any at the start of the server and now I have them quite regularly. I have mods (Klinger Structure, Boat, Ferry, ASR, Circa'sRP, Garuga dino mods, Autodoor, etc)

[brittle schooner]

We seem to be having similar issues that just started a little bit ago, there are some on the servers but most of us time out and cannot connect

[bold fox]

Yeah still don't know what I should do we are still trying to fix it

[brittle schooner]

I’m guessing it may be a wild card issue again being that it’s only affecting some people and not everyone

[bold fox]

Yeah probably just sucks though my PC and my Xbox friend tried wouldn't work and my PlayStation won't work either probably just gonna wait for wildcard to fix it

Yeah I need to change my thing to PlayStation

[brittle schooner]

Yeah unfortunately that’s the only way, I can see 2 on my extinction server, 1 on scorched and island, 0 on abb atm, so it’s not a nitrado thing or nobody would be able to get on

[bold fox]

Yeah they will probably fix it in a patch

[tardy shore]

good evening i need help to config starter mod ascended

[keen monolith]

How do I make something in the game where only admins can use it

[versed hollow]

same had my cluster wipe today and only half can get on other half gets timed out, some have been able to join over time just to disconnect an hour later and have another fail to join

[bold fox]

Yeah I hope they fix it

[pure haven]

thats a first time we had a crash with this error message in logs and it only happen on one map on our cluster

[misty river]

In ARK ASA, in the solo game, no one appears on the aberration map

[low dew]

@pure haven that crash is a pretty generic crash can be caused by a ton of things most common culprits are mod conflicts corrupted mod files asa being asa

@spare raft your cause is probably poor internet connect on the server or client or just poor quality server or your maxing out the resources on the server and being throttled whos your host

[small ridge]

Unofficial nitrado pve server we just bought and set up today. Currently trying to hop on and it will not load us in, just keep getting “connection failed - lost timeout connection to host” Our internet isn’t the problem either.

[low dew]

nitrado is probably the problem

#worstserverhostever

[small ridge]

What is a better option for server hosts?

[shadow tulip]

ok i got 2 people after a rollback that keep getting lost connection when joining the map or trying to transfer to the map. everyone else can join just fine. Is like they are blocked or something

nothing allows them back on the map, i redgun their old bodies, moved them, tried another save, had them make a new character....nothing works

[low dew]

@small ridge lots of self hosting options out there like qonzor

[forest root]

Need some mod help.

Specifically, wanna install paleo ark ascension into the Unofficial I run for my friends. I found it on curseforge, but on the nitrado curseforge mods tab under settings where I can install/search through mods, can't find it. I can find the other paleo ark mods, but not ascension.

Can I get past this by finding the mod id code and putting that in with the codes of other active mods

Nvm I found it by searching for the mod author rather than searching for the mod name weirdly enough. It didn't even show up in the six pages given when I searched the name exactly

[pulsar night]

how can my friend on epic games join me and my friend on steam on a server?

[radiant goblet]

how do i login in ark whenever i try to join a session it just syas im not loged it ??

[visual tapir]

So I have building and dino decay set but the buildings and dinos aren't coming up for demo or claim. It's like the timers are resetting after every server restart, any idea how to fix it?

[restive heron]

Is there a way I can increase my player count then decrease it later. Like say upgrade it to 35 one month then decrease it to 20 when I add a cluster?

[grizzled flicker]

Does anyone else on nitrado servers have issues with platform saddles being unreliable ? We keep desyncing around on quetz platforms/the zepplins and can't figure out why. Ive tried playing around with a few settings, turning off speedhack detection ect.

[lean goblet]

Can someone help me code my fiber craft through nitrado or beacon

[grim sinew]

log out of steam (dont just close it) and log back in

[urban pelican]

do you just type ForceWipeTinkerExploitNoDinos or is it cheat ForceWipeTinkerExploitNoDinos or admincheat ForceWipeTinkerExploitNoDinos?

[celest halo]

its a start command argument

[molten glen]

Hey does anyone know where I can find a list of plug ins for servers?

[true thunder]

Set up a new unofficial server (steam pc) for my 2 friends and I, and I just cant get the stupid thing to work for long enough for us to even play. we enter and then just get kicked about because something along the lines of 'connection timeout/lost connection to host'. I've made plenty nitrado servers that had almost 0 issues with connection time outs, but this time around its just not letting anyone in. We got to play last night and that was literally it. Can't play anymore.

Its so annoying and im so sick of it. I just wanna have fun with my friends, must it be this difficult???
Extra note: Whenever its not working, it says it has 0 ping (as opposed to when its normal and says 81 ping). Idk if that has any correlation with the connection issues or if it can help find the root of the problem but there it is.

[true thunder]

Update: Nvm I got a refund bc I hate dealing with Nitrado servers 💀

[dusk parcel]

what do i do when my server just wont let me connect to it

i've tried loading a backup of it and that didnt work

i've restarted it multiple times and it didn't work either

Hey can anyone help me set up a server I’ll pay for your time if need be just wanna get set up asap

[teal shuttle]

So we haven’t played on our server for a couple weeks, and today it’s not showing on the list. Nitrado keeps updating and restarting but it’s not doing anything. Any advice?

[lean goblet]

Can someone help me code my fiber craft through nitrado or beacon

[lone slate]

Is there something wrong with imprinting on extinction. My settings are the same across whole cluster and I’m getting weird 1% imprinting only on ext.

[teal shuttle]

Yeah I thought it was an issue with their last update but thought also they fixed it. We didn’t touch the server in any of that time so idk what’s up. A friend is going through the code currently. I hope she can fix it otherwise it being Sunday here I don’t seen any help from nitrado. And we work weekdays :/

[grim fog]

wild dinos dissapearing as soon as they die tried changing decay multiplier but nothing changing can anyone help?

[river tinsel]

I hope someone can help. Partner joined my private server, but when i went to approach him to invite to tribe/alliance all our tames went red (unclaimed) and there is a reclaim timer for 7 days. Can anyone help me resolve this, I've had to end all my tames because of this timer and it was ALOT of work getting them.

Both not working any help ?

[sharp skiff]

I keep crashing for no reason on unofficial there's no harmfull mods or whatsoever no over spawning dinos just when I go little further I crash and I have to wait so much for it so I can join back I have an series s so I would not think it's my console

Just need something to make my gameplay smoother and I don't crash

[lean goblet]

Dm me if u can walk me through coding my ark server

[wise kindle]

Not to be the barer of bad news but the Series S is the worst performance platform for ASA and crashes with this hardware are quite common.
If you wish to avoid these crashes, you will need to look for a series X or PC.

[sharp skiff]

I see alr

Thanks

[cold marten]

Im trying to figure out why the dedicated server I am setting up will not show on the unofficial list. I've gone through many guides, wikis and tutorials with no success. I can connect to it with the open command in console, aswell as other people, however it will not show on any list.

[lean goblet]

Dm me if u can walk me through coding my ark server

[grave cargo]

i want to customize loot drops but cant use beacon due to having a chromebook

[winter nimbus]

Im trying to figure out why my dedi box have lost all items is there something i missed unofficial server pve and they are locked away but not just our the whole server has this issue ? weird one any idea's

[lean goblet]

if htere is a exprienced coder dm me plz

[lean goblet]

dms

[valid wigeon]

so im playing ark survival evolved with a few friends on a non dedicated server and some settings need to be changed so i changed them but im not noticing any effect anyway to fix this?

[green oar]

Need a little help, set up an unofficial server nitrado is saying it’s up and running but I can’t find it

I’m pretty sure I need it to say insuluna_wp and I didn’t have that last bit. Well let ya know if it works incase someone else is as dumb as I am 🙂

Would help if I spelled the map name right also…

Still not showing up…hmm

I figured it out had to uncheck steam and spell the map name right

[humble thicket]

Need an Admin

[verbal spire]

did you restart your server? Ive found i need to save settings and restart the server for changes to take.

[valid wigeon]

i figured it out

[verbal spire]

its a global thing, alot of people had the same issue

[sage mesa]

Custom cosmetics won’t dynamic download on my servers. Not sure if it’s a setting or the system just doesn’t work properly. Anyone know of this issue?

Most players on the server are console

[wise kindle]

Custom cosmetics are client side mods.
You dont install them on your server.

[sage mesa]

Right, but they’re supposed to background download for players to be able to see other people’s, no?

[bleak ivy]

for dynamic downloads you need to set it up in the whitelist.

if you are using the official whitelist then those should work if dynamic downloads is enabled (I think it has a setting)

[latent lynx]

Can anyone rec a server host that's not nitrado

[bleak ivy]

if you are doing ASA, you can only use nitrado or apex (owned by nitrado)
you can do self-host or rent a base server and self-host on that.

[latent lynx]

Oh gross nvm thanks

[green oar]

Figured out my issues had the name wrong and also had steam checked to join. And I created a pvp server for pve but still had pve checked when looking for the server lol

[wise kindle]

Apex, a bit better than Nitrado.
If you are looking for one for the old ASE version you can go with gPortal.

[latent lynx]

G portal is my fav i wish they had asa

[sage mesa]

I have *some* custom cosmetics whitelisted so they can be used since they’re not on the official list. Even they don’t seem to work though

[gritty gale]

Anyone able to explain how setting up a cluster works? Just the part of how/what you have to do/pay to get the cluster

[spring cairn]

Destination server crashed shortly after transferring and it rolled back. Source server and destination has no character to download, how do I recover a lost survivor?

I can see my player has a <steamid>.arkproftemp do I just rename this to .arkprofile and then suicide my player?

Okay, that .arkproftemp just got deleted by the running server. ffs

The player files are in the cluster folder, but they're not showing in-game to download from...? clusters/<clusterid>/<steamid>

The .arkprofile file isn't even there, I assume because we're using -usestore save method.

There are some .arkprofile but not for the players affected by the destination server rolling back after crashing.

I am rolling back the Source server to see if our survivors are saved there. It's just really bizarre that I can literally see the affected player's files in the clusters/ folder, but they're refusing to show in the game.

[distant hearth]

depends on how the servers are hosted . a cluster is just two or more servers linked together. If renting from nitrado for example its differnt method to if you have your own machine at home running servers

[spring cairn]

Rolling the source server back to when we were on it, and then transferring again worked. But that is so hacky, like what.

[teal shuttle]

This is annoying. Nothing we have done has gotten our server back up. I don’t want to wipe it. If we have to then I’m done with this stupid game. Too much money for such crap service

[lapis quest]

Ive noticed this a few times since we started using -usestore, fortunally using -BackupTransferPlayerDatas creates a eosid.arkprofile to make a backup

[distant hearth]

can you list what you have tried? i dont want to repeat things to you if you already done it , presuming shitrado server?

[distant hearth]

does this still work, last time i was messing with one my test servers, it wasnt creating the .arkprofile :/ i shall have to look into it again when get time

[lapis quest]

Yeah, i had to make some backups lately, once in a while a character still vanishes

[teal shuttle]

It’s stuck in a restart loop. We have tried to force stop, restart, remove mods, use a backup from several days ago.

[distant hearth]

when force stop it , does it actually stop ?
i presume you have also put in a ticket with them , if not do so anyway , can always cancel it if you get working

[lapis quest]

Question for yall running uno servers, Are you using the 450 dino cap from officials? (assuming the new numbers from breeding base+mutation+lvlup)

[teal shuttle]

Yeah ive put in a ticket. And it will say stopped. Then it’ll show it’s running for a few, still no sign of server in the list and it starts the “server restarting” loop

[distant hearth]

how long have you left it stopped for? i dunno why but often just stopping them for 30 mins to an hour then starting them will mak eem work again .

[teal shuttle]

I’ve left it stopped overnight

Well, tried to. It starts the restart on its own

I’ll force stop and it still goes to the loop.

[distant hearth]

kk rules that out 🙂 , have you checked in the log files to see if it gives a crash error ?
Is also worth checking in save files to see if theres a .ark-journal file , that file indicates corrupt sql files , but can usually be repaired with alot effort

after that, my next step is to ftp connect to server , make a copy of the save folder onto local computer. then reinstall the nitrado server .

[teal shuttle]

No crash error. I will have to look into the other.

[distant hearth]

have a check of the latest shootergamelog file , read the very last line of it, sometimes it can point at an issue too

[green oar]

Good luck. Might be a couple days before nitrado gets back to you if your lucky

[teal shuttle]

All I’ve seen is “restarted more than ten times. Something seems to be very wrong.” 😂

[distant hearth]

usually with a load chinese characters that one, unless there programmer has changed since i last had a shitrado server

[teal shuttle]

That’s just hilarious to me

[spring cairn]

Yeah we have that too, I can see .arkprofile for active players, but I have a feeling when you transfer they delete the files.

[bleak ivy]

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

[stable ledge]

Is there anyway to prevent duping without the nitrado setting?

[sharp cobalt]

How do I play Ark with my friend from Epic Games? When I try to enter his server, it gives an error

[bleak ivy]

read the pin.

#unofficial-setup-help message

[gritty gale]

So could anyone explain the cost/setup of getting a cluster? Do I need to buy multiple servers and link them or can I actually buy a cluster of servers?

[jaunty vortex]

Depends on how much work you want to do. If it's Nitrado it won't be cheap.

Or you can rent your own Windows or Linux server and install the Ark server on those, which will be cheaper

[placid mural]

I installed Ark from the Microsoft store and I just get a blue screen with the ark logo and then it closes (Ark from steam and epic work fine)

[gritty gale]

I’m trying to set one up on ASA, is that just gonna be expensive regardless? Also I’m on console

[green oar]

@coral solstice so your trying to get the levels higher but not have those levels distributed?

[coral solstice]

not exactly i want to do so wild dino's have food,stamina,speed and oxygen have 0-little stat points and instead the stat points goes to healt,damage or weight (i have beacon)

[jaunty vortex]

Nitrado is expensive. You could probably rent a Windows server and host all the current maps for the same price as two nitrado servers for a simple cluster

[green oar]

Man that’s not impossible I don’t think but gonna have to add some lines to your ini

[coral solstice]

yea i know i asked chatgpt and deepseek they both send me this script (in the game.ini): [ServerSettings]
bUseSingleplayerSettings=False
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="Health",Multiplier=0.3)
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="Stamina",Multiplier=0.15)
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="Weight",Multiplier=0.2)
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="MeleeDamage",Multiplier=1.0)
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="Food",Multiplier=0.0)
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="Oxygen",Multiplier=0.0)
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="Speed",Multiplier=0.0)
DinoLevelWeightMultipliers=(StatName="Torpidity",Multiplier=0.0)

the script should do so health stamina and weight have a little chance to get stat point but damage should have a higher chance like rolling with a cube

[green oar]

I feel like that should work?

Have you done a Dino wipe after saving

And stop the server then restart it

[coral solstice]

Yes i did the cheat destroywilddinos and its a singleplayer i did close ark and relaunched it

[coral solstice]

But sadly that didnt work either :/ right now im trying to launch a new singleplayer and test it there

[green oar]

Hmmm might need to go to smarter minds than myself tbh

[coral solstice]

😦 sad but ty for trying

[olive talon]

These values don't exist, that is why I told you not to rely on AI.
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[green oar]

See smarter minds than my own

[celest halo]

AI is dumb 90% of the time when it comes to server config settings

[coral solstice]

Omg, do you know what i can do?

[green oar]

Yeah I did it but it was simple settings I have changed before so I knew it was right when I asked lol just couldn’t remember the exact config until I asked

[olive talon]

Creature's stats when they spawn are entirely RNG, unless you've got overhaul mods that change them, and as far as I know, there aren't any that just remove stats.

[green oar]

Yeah only one I know of is changing the amounts for leveling up

[coral solstice]

yea and thats not it but might bump that up extreamly

[novel mortar]

I’m not sure if there’s a channel for help in single player settings

But how do I make my crafting skill go up like 10000% on 1 skill point

[coral solstice]

either change it in game.ini or get beacon (pay 15usd and then you can cahnge it easily)

[novel mortar]

I tried the playerbasestatsmultiplier [11] and it just disappears when I start the game (yes I’m saving before I open ark)

[novel mortar]

Idk why but game ini isn’t working for me

[coral solstice]

okay

go in here: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor game.ini

change D to whatever drive you have it on

[novel mortar]

Alright, I’m in the ini

[olive talon]

[/script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11]=1000

[coral solstice]

yea i couldnt find the [11] tahts why

[olive talon]

It's in beacon.

[novel mortar]

Yea I’ve tried it, I save then close notepad but when I open the game and start the map it doesn’t do anything

[olive talon]

Make sure you're placing it in the correct file, that you don't have doubles, etc.

[coral solstice]

where do you change the crafting multiplier beacon or in the direct game.ini?

[novel mortar]

Direct game.ini

[coral solstice]

okay then i think (im not sure) you need to add the
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[11]=1000 (under the PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[6]=1.000)

[novel mortar]

Ok ill try that next

[coral solstice]

then it should work + remember to save the notepad and clsoe and relaunch ark

[supple topaz]

on my server we cant transfer to abb without losing our character ever sincen this crap went down and our SE server does not even show up in the cluster and we have tried everything to get both working and neither want to work. Is anyone else still have this problem

[sage mesa]

I'm compiling info to try to get this working now... do you know what the CRC is and how to find it if I'm not on Steam?

[bleak ivy]

nope

[sage mesa]

I may just stick to the official whitelist then. There’s very little reliable info I’m finding for some reason

[bleak ivy]

since it uses command line. its probably only on steam and PC xbox

[sage mesa]

I’d think they would give some sort of example or info on how to do a whitelist but the best info I found was on a mod description and it still wasn’t exactly enough to help

[bleak ivy]

the link I posted is the example lol

[sage mesa]

Yeah….. it’s.,, something

[safe elm]

anyone any idea why I would do nearly 3x more damage to the roaming king titan boss in my singleplayer world?? I have singleplayer settings disabled and no damage multipliers or whatsoever...

[gritty gale]

I thought ASA servers could only be hosted through nitrado?

[olive talon]

Renting hardware can be from anywhere, Nitrado (and Apex, also owned by Nitrado) are the only ones specifically hosting Ark Survival Ascended servers with a contract for a few more years

Like, Gportal wouldn't be allowed to host Ascended servers, but you can go to Windows and rent some hardware/game servers for Ascended

[gritty gale]

So essentially if I wanted a cluster right now with all maps it would cost an arm and a leg?

[olive talon]

Through Nitrado, yeah. We're paying almost $50 a month for just 2 servers

[gritty gale]

See how do I go through windows if I’m on console? Do I have to have one of my buddies use his pc to set it up?

[olive talon]

John would probably be better answering that

[jaunty vortex]

Or you can rent a server just with windows on it. Maybe 64GB RAM and host 6 maps yourself.

[olive talon]

I only know how to do steamcmd/nitrado

[jaunty vortex]

Yes.

[gritty gale]

And will that be crossplay then or is it only gonna be pc and Xbox? I’m on PlayStation and so are my friends

[jaunty vortex]

My server is under my desk. 🙂

[gritty gale]

Since it’s through windows and all

[jaunty vortex]

You can have anyone join.

[cobalt loom]

So I have someone who transferred from Club ARK with some winnings to Extinction, then back to Club ARK without taking the winnings out of the transmitter. He ended up losing all those items. Is this normal behavior, or is there a setting I missed?

Transferring between other servers the uploaded items stay just fine, but going back to the Club removes all the uploaded items.

All transfers are open on the Club and the servers in the cluster.

[gritty gale]

Okay, thx, I’ll have to do some further digging and research because this server hosting thing is completely new to me

[jaunty vortex]

You can use pretty much any pc with 16GB RAM to host one map. You don’t need to rent a server.

I host mine on a PC at home.

[green canyon]

Any one know how to turn off cryosickness on a pvp server

[bleak ivy]

mods

[green canyon]

Any recommendations?

[bleak ivy]

dino depot. tons of configs. can make them work exactly like normal pods if you want too.

[green canyon]

Perfect thank you !

[covert comet]

Hey guys I’m wondering how to get a server for me and my friends to play on anyone able to help me understand my options?

Do I have to have a pc to host a server or can I purchase jt on like their site then set it up like the settings and stuff on the console when I join it?

[last magnet]

you can rent a server from Nitrado, they have directions on setup or you can buy a PC and self-host, but that requires some knowledge and ability to look things up

[spare glen]

Has anyone figured out how to breed dinos while offline? in ASE I used the hitching post to keep them out of stasis and dino storage to capture the babies. Now in ASA I have dino depot but even if I use the dino leash and put the dinos on wander they are still going into stasis it seems.

[last magnet]

I self-host bc I don't want to pay Nitrado $30/mth per map. I'm cheap like that lol

[teal shuttle]

Well cool. They fixed it within the day.

[covert comet]

So I don’t need a pc to buy one I can buy one and then load it up on console and customise the setting and stuff?

[thorny pulsar]

On version 5.81, -ForceWipeTinkerExploitNoDinos was added. Do we have to add this permanently on all map?

[bleak ivy]

yeah, you can do it from your phone. playstation may even have an app I know xbox does.
the main way is their website.

[celest halo]

you dont have to add it at all if you dont want

[covert comet]

So just get app and buy and it will be there?

[bleak ivy]

make sure you buy it for the correct game/platform.

then you just setup the settings you want or whatever

[tepid berry]

This is a hallucination by ChatGPT; this is not how they are formatted.

[bleak ivy]

gives me a different hallucination lol

[tepid berry]

You're looking for PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed or PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild

[bleak ivy]

its also not possible. you can change the distribution in base ark

[bleak ivy]

they want to change the distribution not change how much each stat does

[tepid berry]

You can change the multipliers per point spent, but not the distribution of points

[covert comet]

So buy ps5 server will appear there then I can sort it?

[bleak ivy]

if you are ASE it'd be ASE ps4 I think. ASA would just be ASA server.

ASE isn't crossplay so make sure you buy the platform you are playing on.

[covert comet]

So asa since I’m ps5

What’s the app name?

[bleak ivy]

if you are playing Ark survival ascended then yeah it doesn't matter the platform since its crossplay

[bleak ivy]

would assume its just nitrado. thats what its called on xbox/PC.
most use the website

[covert comet]

Do I need like connect my ps5 account or like make a password to show I’m owner?

[bleak ivy]

you just set a password on the server so everybody needs it to join.
I assume you make an account on the app.

but it won't connect to the game

Country would know more

[covert comet]

Ok thank you sorry for so many questions

[distant hearth]

if you have zero clue what your doing, go to google, type in how to setup ark ascended nitrado server and spend a bit learning how

[olive talon]

Set up a nitrado account, rent an Ark Survival Ascended server. Everything within the server (setup, settings, etc) will be on the Nitrado website and will rely on you being signed in on Nitrado.

Once you have bought the server, you must give it time to set up. You cannot instantly configure it.

[covert comet]

Ok so I can’t do the settings on my console it has to be their website?

[olive talon]

https://server.nitrado.net/en-GB/guides/ark-survival-ascended-server-configuration-guide

[bleak ivy]

you should be able to. just would recommend a K&M

[olive talon]

You can do it from the app/website on your phone, from the app in the Playstation store if it opens to a web browser, a pc, etc.

[covert comet]

Ok I got it

[olive talon]

I do most of my settings just through the website on my phone, the app is wonky for me

[covert comet]

Thank you both very much and again sorry for so many questions I just had no clue and all the guides I saw just didn’t tell me anything

[olive talon]

You're fine, that's what the channel is for

[bleak ivy]

doesn't look like playstation has an app anyway. you'll need to use the website or phone.

[covert comet]

Il use phone

[cold marten]

I have set up a dedicated server and I can not find it on the server list. I can join it with the open command via console, and others can join it aswell, but it will not show on the unofficial server list. Any ideas?

[covert comet]

Hey guys I’m back again I have sorted my server and got it up is it at all possible to add mods to it?

[gentle niche]

Try putting Ark.ServerList 0 in the console and then refresh

[sleek furnace]

Hi, if i buy ark ultimate edition i unlock all versions of ark?

[bleak ivy]

ark ultimate survivor edition is ASE with all DLC. it does not include ASA (which also includes all ASE DLC, just not the new fantastic tames and Bobs)

[green oar]

If I want to change the map on my server how do I do that? Testing a few out to see which ones I want to cluster but not sure if I just shut it down and change the map name and stuff

Like is it a difficult process to change maps on a server

[bleak ivy]

nitrado or self-host?

[green oar]

Nitrado

[bleak ivy]

think you shut the server down, wait a while and change it in the menu. should have a spot for map.

[green oar]

Yeah It does, just wasn’t sure if it would auto reset everyone playing on it, didn’t know it was just as simple as switching the map

[bleak ivy]

if you want to keep the old map, I'd definitely back up the save

[green oar]

Ahhh nah not worried about keeping the old map. Us 3 are just running playing a bit and exploring maps to see what we really love and what not

So not concerned about losing progress

[nocturne spindle]

But does anyone crash the map ur on when u transfer?

[nocturne spindle]

No, I don't think so. It's only when a player launches King titan that the map crashes.

I keep trying to tranfer from ext to astraeos and it freezes when i transfer. And then the map just goes down for like 15 minutes

When I try to transfer from extinction to another map I crash systematically

[junior jewel]

Hm

[junior jewel]

But ext doesnt go down?

Hello, I'm looking for a command to disable the transfer of a resource

game.ini

[junior jewel]

Not sure how to do that ngl. I think some mods can tho

[nocturne spindle]

No, the map doesn't crash. It's the players who crash quite regularly. I get the impression that Ext isn't stable at all.

[junior jewel]

Ye thats what im thinking. Tho the devs said thwy patched a crash issue and an exploit issue for unoficial yesterday

[nocturne spindle]

Unfortunately with Ark nothing is ever sure lol

[junior jewel]

Yeah🤣

Fixing game breaking issues (optional)

[frozen atlas]

on my server people manage to duplicate because of crashes

[junior jewel]

I made a dude lose his character 3 times before realizing the issue

Im gonna offer him loot to get him started
