i use reclaimed data center servers off ebay
i have 3
2 are hp dl380p gen 8 with 2 xeon 10core cpu's, both machines have 256GB of ddr3 1866mhz ram windows server 2019, these still run ark sa like a normal data center rental.
1 and the current in use is a hp dl380 gen9 with 2 xeon 12core cpu's and 256GB of ddr4 2400mhz ram windows server 2022.
the gen 8 on ebay or mine sell for $250. cad or $150. usd when fully setup with cpu's, and ram
the gen 9 $500-$700.ish in cad funds..
your best bet to host from home is what i do, otherwise to buy parts is insanely expensive, and you dont get commercial server grade parts for a desktop server setup.

yeah I'm running into that. Win10 Pro is going into EOL. M$ had to change their licensing terms to be per CPU so a dual CPU se up can be spendy

#

since I guess they weren't getting as many profits

#

to get the newest server version, I mean.

ahh,, i c.. thats wierd

Oh now that's easy, go to the mods browser and uninstall all mods. There's a button to do that. Then close out the game, give it a minute then open it back up. If you have cosmetics mods install those, otherwise login to your server and it'll install the mods. If the server is the one being a pain, you can clear the mods folder, with it stopped then restart the server to make it reinstall the mods

where are waypoints saved in game files? my map coverage has gone back to zero and all waypoints gone >.<

The game user settings ini file. Check the local files. Should be able to browse the files via Steam, it's in shooter game/saved/config. That file may have the waypoints saved.

Good evening, I have a problem, maybe someone can help me.

#

For 2 days I have had problems with the mods, it won't let me download any (pending) I already deleted the ark ship, I deleted the mod files and there is no way to install any mods, not even the official wild cards.

#

I also deleted any subscription or anything related to any mods

hearty jolt
#

They messed up a lot of stuff

#

But id reccomend redownloading your game as i had the same problem

tawny salmon
hearty jolt
#

Hmmmm

tawny salmon
#

Today I deleted ARK 3 times, I searched for the mod files, deleted them and downloaded them again and the problem continues, even with the wild card content it gives a problem.

#

I already sent a ticket but I don't think you'll solve it right away.

Was hosting a server back when ASA came out and had a bunch of the ark additions dinosaur mods installed and about to boot it back up but heard some of the dinosaurs were added to base game now. Is there any reason to still have the mods? Also is there a list of the ones they've added?

jaunty vortex
#

your modded dinosaurs won't be seen as the same as the in game ones. Not sure how you'd convert them

keen monolith
#

All the others you have to add as mods

#

So the acrocanthosaurus, the helicorpion, the deinotherium, the anomalocaris and the brachiosaurus

Oh and the edmontonia is premium tho

And the anomlocaris is premium to

#

You’d ask it to render the whole map and run the game.

Most PCs lack the RAM. (You need 16GB for the game and 10-12GB for the map, based on dedi server requirements).

Consoles definitely lack the RAM.

and instead of telling us they closed our ticket

nitrado? or? you didn't say if you were ASE or ASA either.

nitrado/apex are the only renters that can do ASA. you using a different one is probably your issue DesmoSip

dusty herald
#

guys this has nothing to do with unofficial servers but i want to host a non dedi server and my friend cant join it says connection timeout

bleak ivy

#

we are both on epic how do i do that

bleak ivy
#

are you on mobile discord or PC discord?

dusty herald
#

pc

raw gladeBOT
dusty herald
#

sorry for being annoying but where do i find the ip and port i am not that good with computers

bleak ivy
#

it says it at the top of it. the port is almost always gonna be 7777

dusty herald
#

at the top of what

bleak ivy
#

the message

dusty herald
#

oh wait so on the ip chicken web site

bleak ivy
#

one of many methods yeah DesmoSip

dusty herald
#

so i just type that in the command porp and i will join the server

#

and the port isint 7777 is that bad

bleak ivy
#

it should be, its the default port for ark.

dusty herald
#

so shoud i type in the port that is says or the romote port

bleak ivy
#

should be the IP that the website lists. then :7777
open IP:7777

dusty herald
#

okay ty sm

low dew
#

you can also change 7777 to 27016 if you choose or 7778 if 7777 isnt working

#

@dusty herald

dusty herald
dusty herald
low dew
#

you running a bat file to launch your server

#

or hosted through trashdrado

dusty herald
#

what

#

my friend is hosting a non dedi

low dew
#

he needs to port forward then

dusty herald
#

is that hard to do

low dew
#

well to add to the firewall on his pc no you just open windows firewall and go to advanced then add exception should be a option to add a port number to it have him google how to add a port to an exception to windows firewall

#

alternativly he can shut his firewall off and see if you can get in

dusty herald
#

so first try the shut firewall of and then try the other option

low dew
#

yea

dusty herald
#

ok

low dew
#

thats what i would do

bleak ivy
#

non-dedi doesn't need port-forwarding but it would help.

#

the reason epic has more issues (non-dedi always has issues) is because it can't go through the platform.

low dew
#

desolate is right nondedi does always have issues

#

like singleplayer its at the bottom of wildcards list of things to look at or even fix

dusty herald
#

okay so shoud i still try the thing with the firewall or

low dew
#

dosnt hurt to try it

distant hearth
low dew
#

@distant hearth i remember with atlas you couldent even play single player lol

bleak ivy
#

I could Ferox_Think

#

I did switch to hosting tho because it helps stuff in ark lol.

low dew
#

you dont even have to use nitrado to host you can rent a vps and self host with a 3rd party server manager

distant hearth
#

it prob takes more pc resource to run the game as non dedi than dedi an the game, be interesting to test an see i guess, bet there aint much in it

bleak ivy
#

it's gonna be higher due to hibernation being disabled.

distant hearth
#

ah yea

low dew
#

plus then also playing the game on the same machine

bleak ivy
#

not by much tho. especially once the server calms down.

#

mine goes down to less then 3GB after a while DesmoSip

distant hearth
low dew
#

i dont kno wnough about nondedi to really help anyone with it i only use it to test mods

dusty herald
#

shoud he turn off every firewall or just public network

distant hearth
#

ive ran 2 ascended servers an the game on 32gb ram , doesnt like it lmao but it did what i needed when i was testing,
one server an game is not a problem at all on 32gb

low dew
#

my ark servers only use 500mb of ram up to 4 gb

#

sometimes they idle as low as 125mb of ram

dusty herald
#

guys its no working shoud we just try tommorow

distant hearth
#

you might b better just finding a proper server an both joining that

dusty herald
#

every server that we join is full of random builds

distant hearth
#

yea , just find an area that isnt random builds

wise kindle
#

look for a password protected server and join the discord for the password. Passworded clusters dont have these random issues.

Hello, I have a problem and could use your help.

I have my own Ark Asa server and yesterday one of our players was kicked out of Aberration and couldn't get onto the map anymore. We've tried everything but he still couldn't get onto it, so this morning he made a new character and I wanted to cheat him into his tribe, which strangely didn't work. When I then went back to my base to cheat into my tribe, it suddenly worked. I then went back to him to test it again but it absolutely doesn't work for him.

Does anyone know what could be wrong????

Any one else ran into your character being named "player" after transfer to another server?

#

Oh so it's just a common issue? I thought it might be a setting I had wrong

pallid kestrel
#

Aka, I can log into your server and make a base but not create a tribe, therefore there is no tribe to force join

pallid kestrel
thick spear
pallid kestrel
#

It’s only temporary and when you type your name still shows properly

thick spear
#

Yeah, sometimes it stops me accessing dinos and storage until I re-log

pallid kestrel
#

Oh that’s weird? I haven’t experienced that

#

So does that mean it's just a temporary problem and will probably be fixed soon and then I can cheat him into his tribe?

I posted this in bobs with probs too, no luck, but maybe it's something with the way I'm doing the server configuration? I change the game.ini/gameuser.ini to match small tribes on our cluster, this is the first time it's happened (that we've noticed). Original post:

Anyone know why we lost all of our 4x imprint? Small tribe settings on an unofficial.

As an example with made up numbers:
4x weekend, I imprinted a rex, so it went to 500/500 health. After the weekend, when the server went back to 2x, the rex was showing 500/300 Health. Then after cyro it showed 300/300 health.

Same thing happened to everyone else's things they imprinted over the weekend. (rex's and giga's for sure, not positive if anyone did anything else)

# river pawn Did they black screen??

No, he didn't have that this time. When he tried to log in again, he only got to the SummerBash player and then it was over.

At least I was able to cheat him back into his tribe with the new character using the cheat

Summer bash??

Testing my new server cluster and Club Ark is just a black screen whenever I try to enter it. Can't even pull up menu to exit, have to back out to PS home and close. Not sure if I messed up setting it up or if this is part of the overall brokenness of Ark at the moment.

tepid berry

I'd say so long as you dedicate around 12gb-ish to each map on the cluster, you should be fine. Most of the time small servers will idle around 4-6gb, but on startup they can use a large amount of initial memory

i might be wrong its not something i ever changed my self

Alright

distant hearth

lemme check in beacon too see what it has for turrets

royal epoch
#

oh yeah perfect didnt think of that

distant hearth
#

i dont see anything there either, maybe there was a mod or plugin that did it .

it was a default setting BUT it could have been changed like you said

we use ss turrets and the setting is there for them

just i wonder what the default args are

let me go check my ini

# gentle sail nope dont have that enabled

ermm , im kinda at a loss tbh . those two things are what normally throw that issue .
about all else i can think is if you have any mods that might be messing it up by adding modded items to drop?

gentle sail
#

no I dont add mod items to drops

#

they got to work for those

distant hearth
#

some mods auto add items to them though

I am nice but not THAT nice
no I have all of that disabled and none of my other maps have this issue

if i think of anything else will tag you , hopefully someone else has an idea

So anyone else with the ability to test this? I got a "Moderate Mobile" trait on a Tek Chest piece, and I've already fired up a server with no mods, no addons, barebones. When I unequip the chest with E or T, directly into my inventory, the chest disappears.

If I transfer it to a vault, it's fine. If I try to transfer it to megalab, also disappears.

royal epoch
#

And what are you using for your settings?

#

Asm?

#

If so asm will overwrite your settings itself so make sure to tick that setting off in asm

gentle sail
#

what is asm? I use beacon and transfer it to my ini as I have to do everything myself

royal epoch
#

Ark server manager

#

When you use beacon beacon also has its own placement code at the bottom

#

What does that look like?

#

I dont believe you put all that in the ini itself

I've just tried adding a Club Ark server as part of my official ark cluster (never had one before) and it won't launch past the "ticking loop" phase. It never advertises for join. I've correctly port forwarded it, and included the same cluster ID launch arguments that work for all my other ark servers. I even deleted alot of the other launch arguments from my .bat file that dont apply to club ark (mods, server tribelogs, etc.) but I still can't get this to run. If I provide my .bat script could someone give me insight into why this isnt working?

dont add the club ark mod to your other servers tho just the one your using club ark with otherwise you get weird stuff happening @ashen nebula ask me how i know

Does the Cosmo spawn mod, just break spawns in Extinction? I went down to the Forest area, only to see no life what so ever.

is there anyway to change maturing speeds, egg hatching speeds and such on a hosted server (webhosted) tried this MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.1
Babycuddleintervalmultiplier=0.05
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=0.5
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=0.5
but made no difference i have tried wth 5.0 and 10.0 aswell

wheat sluice
warped cypress
#

and the difference between egghatchspeedmultiplier=0.5 and 10 was no diff hence why im asking what the actual scripts/commands are

wise kindle
#

Use new eggs. Old eggs show the old settings.
Mating intervals wont change till they reset.

#

Make your changes and test with new eggs/dinos.

wheat sluice
#

Ok, this question is probably asked so often.

If difficulty is 5, with no other changes. The max wild dino should be 150 correct?

I'm going for a simple 300 to be the max wild dino possible. So, Difficulty should be set to 10, right?
The Overide is what throws me off.

warped cypress
#

i accidently set difficulty to 200 and trust me that was not fun on the beach with these dilos

#

5 is for 150 so id assume 10 is 300

wheat sluice
#

Mhm, but if you Set the value too high. The loot gets better too, which ruins the difficulty

wise kindle
wheat sluice
#

So, I want high dinos, but without OP tools

wheat sluice
warped cypress
#

we got no OP tools or items but got continously touched by lvl 3800 dilos so no bueno

wise kindle
#

Your question was how to get 300 dinos.

wheat sluice
# wise kindle Are you setting dino levels or messing with other things?

Yeah, get level 300 wild dinos. As I look at the wiki, and online. It ties the difficulty value 1-10, but also have a chart showing that the higher the value is the greater % for loot. So, I wanted to still get level 300 wild dinos, and keep the loot only slightly better than what it is normally. At least, that is the goal if possible. Sorry, if I didn't explain prior. The question was evolving as I learned more.

wise kindle
#

Anyway 10 gives you level 300. Thats all you need to change.

#

You will want to test and see what you want. As a standard for level 300 you would only change difficulty to 10.

@warped cypress cant change settings while server is running needs to be shutdown

there are like 3 diffuculty settings people get confused, simple way if u want max level 300 dino is via ,

x is times 30
so ,
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10 , is 300 max normal dino ,
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5, is 150 normal , etc etc

Does anyone know of an issue on SE where wyverns and deathworms instantly despawn as soon as you get in render distance? I use der dino finder to locate them, and as sson as i get close enough the spawn disapears. been circling the desert for hours.

for wyvers, one ot 2 will spawn in, but most of what the mod finds disappear as you approach.

#

is acro a modded creature?

#

is it not like the archelon or cerato?

spice wyvern
#

Not yet. It’s a mod you have to add. I’m assuming you’re talking about the acrocanthosaurus?

pulsar sierra
#

yes

#

so its not official yet?

spice wyvern
#

Nope. Not vanilla yet. Still a mod

pulsar sierra
#

i see. i thought it was official. what about brachio? is that mod too?

spice wyvern
#

The bad thing is if you add the mod to your server you have to keep it once it becomes vanilla

#

Brachio is still a mod as well

pulsar sierra
spice wyvern
#

The creator is waiting for them to add them in as vanilla

spice wyvern
pulsar sierra
#

so all the modded acros will despawn when you remove the mod?

spice wyvern
#

Yup

pulsar sierra
#

id rather just wait then

spice wyvern
#

That’s why I removed it and the snake. I spawned them in on my server to try them out (waste of $5 on the snake) and when I removed the mods they poofed

pulsar sierra
#

is the gigantophis an ark addition creature?

spice wyvern
#

And you have to have the mod on your server

pulsar sierra
#

thats ass

spice wyvern
#

I’ll tell you now it’s also glitchy af

pulsar sierra
#

what about the lavyatin?

spice wyvern
#

Modded

#

Garuga’s mods are really popular and seem to do really well. They’re usually the best out of all of the modded dinos but I hate the fact that you have to leave the mod up after it becomes vanilla

pulsar sierra
#

so only acro and brachio are legit creatures coming for free

spice wyvern
#

I’ve heard talk that the Gryphons are next to be vanilla tho so I haven’t added that mod yet

spice wyvern
#

I only have 7-8 mods on my server to make the cluster less of a drain on the player. Too many mods can cause issues for a lot of people that play console.

We have Dino depot had issues when extinction dropped but has been fine since it updated

tardy cradle

The multiplier works. But not on asa berries

#

I don't know what the problem is 😄

spice wyvern
#

I use one for my cluster on unofficial with absolutely no issues. I was unable to find coding to stack things how I wanted but instead found a mod through curse forge that had good reviews and was a small size. It’s worked for what we wanted and you’re the first person that’s judged me for it

distant hearth
#

stack mods are evil do not use them unless console singleplayer, they will cause you big headaches down the line if you use them

#

99.9% can be stacked via ini

#

yea thats always a fun one. where my dinos go

#

mutton an prime, for a while, wyvern milk for a bit, all work fine now though. might a fracture gem on extinction still dont stack, or maybe they fixed that now havent checked

spice wyvern
#

Well it’s a mod I have never had the intention of removing because I know it will cause issues if I do. The creator updates it fairly frequently and I’ve not had any issues on the cluster since installing it. It was my first time editing the ini and the one thing I was having trouble figuring out other than torpidity

distant hearth
#

its fine till it breaks an u lose everything , or if u ever want to change crafting costs an find out you cant

# tardy cradle I don't know what the problem is 😄

this is the code to indvidually stack the new berries to 1k

you can set cave flyers in the ini , but i left it in the batch file for u , doesnt matter really which way is done

What i mean is when u go to setup another server , how do you plan on doing it?

gentle niche
distant hearth

ase needed alt directories set(for clustering off a single server install), asa doesnt, it auto does it

so i was just gonna do the same bat file but replace the map name, add the cluster ID and clusteroverride

mine sit in say c://arkclusterisland
then c://arkclusterscorched
c://arkclustertestserver
c://arksvartelfhiem
etc etc

gentle niche
#

So doing a single install, will it create a separate folder for scorched earth with save files etc ? i thought thats what the altdirectory does, that way i could have different ini files within the saved folder my current path for my bat fle is:

Desktop > steamCMD > steamapps > common> ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server > ShooterGame > binaries > win64 >

#

and saved folder is

Desktop > steamCMD > steamapps > common> ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server > ShooterGame > Saved >

distant hearth
gentle niche
#

OOHHH i see what you mean

distant hearth
gentle niche
#

it wouls be the same ini as the config is outside of the map folders in configs

distant hearth
#

see it can be done in the batch file , like u have -forceallowcaveflyers
but they get really complicated an long doing that lolz

#

some are ?commands, some are -commands an its just a whole mess imho

gentle niche
#

So when you say you have yours in c://arkclusterisland you dont njeed to have it in the steamcmd/steamapps/Ark Survival Ascended Dedicated Server/Shootergame directory

gentle niche
distant hearth
# gentle niche So when you say you have yours in c://arkclusterisland you dont njeed to have it...

you can instruct stm cmd to install the server files where ever you want , i use a batch file for that too a sthe same one is used to updat ethe server , heres an example,
start "" "C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

this is launching stmcmd from the location i installed it on c drive , forceinstall is make a new folder if there isnt one there already with the name specified , logging into the network as anon , installing or updating app 2430930(the ark server files) then validtaing the files (you can skip this part out ) then quitting the stmcmd program/exe

gentle niche
#

Is there any disadvantage to me having it in the directory i currently have? i dont want the auto update/ validate i like to do that manually coz you never know with the patches they release lol lots of bugs and breakages recently

distant hearth
#

the batch file i gave above is to manually update, same as u i do not want to auto update lolz
as mentioned above having from one install is not a problem, especially if you are going to use the same ini for both server anyway .
if u wanted differnet ini for each server id say go with seperate installs

gentle niche
#

So having my server files in:

#

Desktop > steamCMD > steamapps > common> ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server > ShooterGame >

#

is fine, rather than a separate one like you have

#

sorry its: Desktop > steamCMD > steamapps > common> ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server >

distant hearth
#

or as u are just have the one an run mutiple batch files from the same install

gentle niche
#

or any name for that matter

distant hearth
#

the name doesnt matter , just the contents , call it crashedagain, brokeagain, maybeoneayarkbegreat
aslong as you know what one does what its all good
i generally name them for the map they start ]

gentle niche
#

omg not crashedagain brokegain lmao that seems very appropriate tbh XD thank you so much you have made it so simple, literally a diff map name and diff port, all the online instructions were wildly complicated

distant hearth
#

yea no problem, i have a written txt guide i did if u want it, but i dont really explain things very well tbh and kinda gave up on it lmao . but many people have used it to instll an get server running an setup.
i dont think u need it though, seem have a good grasp of whats going on now

gentle niche
#

just for the future if i were to do separate installs what would i put for my clusterdiroverride=

distant hearth
#

technically any name to a file path to a drive on your pc,
i prefer simple so go with the drive letter and cluster so its in the root of the drive an easy to find .
i.e D://cluster

that will make a folder in the d drive called cluster

gentle niche
#

OOOOH so it doesnt even need to be within the server directory? thats good to know! i might buy another ssd so i can do separate installs lol seems cleaner

distant hearth
#

they load slower, in game gets a slight bit more lag in busy zones but not by much

gentle niche
#

if i get a bigger ssd, could i just cut and paste the whole steamCMD folder over to the new one or would that fuck anything up lol?

distant hearth
#

you can xd , but be careful when it comes to updating that you dont wipe the save files (ask me how i know hahahaha)
good job i keep backups

gentle niche
#

So atm when i do updates, because my server files are in the steamCMD directory i just do the following:
I launch steamcmd then enter: login anonymous, app_update 2430930 validate, exit

#

never needed to specify the dir

distant hearth
#

thats fine, i just like to have it one click from my batch file, its what ever works for you 🙂

#

you can set the batch file to update that directory if u want, doesnt matter where alsong as it know the correct path

gentle niche
#

so i could make a separate bat for updating?

distant hearth
#

i then have the batch file copied to my desktop so there all in one place, easy peasty

distant hearth
gentle niche
#

What would i put in the bat for updating if you dont mind 😅

distant hearth
# gentle niche What would i put in the bat for updating if you dont mind 😅

i posted it above, u just need to change the paths to the ones you use ,
at a guess yours might be set under a user account but its the two file paths that start with drive letter you need change to suit your install . just make sure you use the very first part of the server folder i.e for you prob its called
ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server
start "" "C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

#

if you get the file path wrong from the force install part, it will install a fresh server to the location you told it too lol

gentle niche
#

see thats what confuses me, everyone says to input the "force_install_dir" into steamCMD, but ive never had to specify the directory, is that because my server files are already in SteamCMD rather than a separate directory? i literally do login anonymous, app_update 2430930 validate, exit and it always updates fine

#

so maybe i could do:

#

start C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

#

this is my path C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\steamCMD

Well, you're not able to bring things to club ark, so there shouldn't be anything in your inventory anyway

#

Oh you meant obelisk inventory, that part shouldn't be happening afaik

#

Otherwise officials would be having words about it

Yeah i accidentally skipped over "cluster" and somehow only read inventory, sorry

But snowdragon is here and probably knows more, thankfully

Club Ark will wipe your obelisk. No idea if it is intended but havent found a way to stop it from happening.
Happens everytime i win something from Club Ark. It goes into the obelisk and wipes anything that was there prior.

#

Its untouched in the bug reports so makes me think it’s intentional.

#

It appears to have been broken since launch. Hasn’t worked since ASE.

Hi all, hosting cluster (ive done this about a year ago and no issues). Basically, running through steam CMD- currently scorched and Island, i can transfer between the two. However when i look into the saved folder of the server where the data and ini files are kept, the 'config' folder seems scorched specific I either want all maps sharing one INI or All on seperate ini either will do, so long as i can alter the settings. (never had this issue previously so not sure whats changed since ive been absent, before all my maps (3 of them) shared an INI as soon as i specified in the bat file it was a cluster.

Are you running the servers from one install location, or seperate installs of the .exe???
you have a clusterdiroverride set which is usued when you have seperate installs(.exe's).
yet you also have altsavedirectory set which is used when running from one install(.exe) in ase(asa doesnt need to be told this as it saves to seperate map folders/directories anyway by default)

As a side note you can remove theese commands as not needed in asa, ?listen, ?queryport, -crossplay
You alse need -winlivemaxplayers=8, not ?maxplayers=8
Alot of times ?port=xxxx does not work an the servers use default port, better to set with -port=7777 for one server then =7778 for the next , 7779 etc etc

@tribal salmon I used linux.. I moved away from it as linux is costly on memory with Ark. By as much as 18% per map. more than windows. Also the ark servers are more difficult to manage than the windows versions

I have 2500 hrs in it and to be fair Iv been lucky on the whole with issues but yes it does definitely get worse as things are added. Dread to think how bad it will get for people even by the end of this year nevermind once all the maps have released.
PlayStation for a start needs more mod space and there needs to be a ‘Purchased’ tab in the store too since you can’t ever just see which stuff you have if like me you bought a few things in the sale

Hi yall, Is there a trick to retain engrams from passive mods unlocked?
Say, you are on mapA with an active mod containing a craftable, unlock it and transfer to mapB with that mod passive, then back to mapA, you'll have to unlock those engrams again.
Any hacky workaround is welcome, thanks!

It's been like this since the launch of ASA not even kidding. I've been tracking it since then.

Not really. ASA is really unoptimized but even then with any decent PC you could run ASA ngl.

So if you were running a server on Hyper-V, and took snapshots, and then restored a snapshot at a future date, would your server be able to "go back" To previous time points ?

lunar cloud
# wraith kayak So if you were running a server on Hyper-V, and took snapshots, and then restore...

yes, the ark server process dumps its world+character data to a save folder. If you restore point on hyper-v it would have those files at that time.
Alternatively just write a script that backs up that folder + zips it and saves it with time stamp in the name. That way you can stop your server , extract any backup of any time and replace the save folder and you technically restore to that point

wraith kayak
#

Ah okay so technically all you need is the save folder.

paper nimbus
#

Hello does anyone have a unofficial ark server me and my friend can join

# wraith kayak Ah okay so technically all you need is the save folder.

thats right, if you did a fresh install, all you need to do to recover is your ini files (configs\settings) and the save folder and start the server up you'll be back where you left off.

i do regular restores whenever there is a major patch to test my backups.. a backup is useless if you dont test them.
I've had them fail in the past and ive also have save files be corrupt, and had to revert to older saves.. so make sure you test em

Hey survivors, I just switched our server to the Astraeos mod map and I just now read that by tomorrow (for us in Germany it should release tomorrow) the map is joining the official map cluster instead of being a mod. Can we play normally now or will the progress be gone when the map releases, do we need to manually switch or sth else? Should we wait until it releases or are we goot to just play? We only ever played the official maps so far, so any answers are welcome!

# fleet olive Thanks for the reply! Yeah, been looking around and haven't really found any goo...

If only we could without the hits. I remember there were some different "versions" of stasis through the years but ark has always had more reasons than it should for you to sit in a chair logged in to render Dinos etc. Especially with the new bots only working when rendered and Dinosaurs only eating/Mating etc while rendered. But also means your stuff isn't attacked by anything unless rendered/loaded so it's a double edged sword in terms of utility. If it's just you and a few friends on 1 server without 100s or 1000s of creatures out you could probably get away with it.

It would make is so long as SOMEONE was online your stuff would be going but then having more people who might be online would cause performance and mem issues so that would be a balancing act.

so i run a cluster and for some reason a player who has played for months just get kicked after 30 secs after joining. he tryed to use a obelisk and his screen just flashes with Refreshing Ark Inventor, and then kicks him.

we tryed to create a new character for him, it keeps him online, but again if he open a drop or obelisk it will do the same. and when ever he reconnects it kicks him after 30 secs
also tryed this on the other maps aswell

then on our test server i remove all mods with a fresh install, and it's the same story. he has tried to verify files, using geforce now,vpn and etc, all same story
but joining any other server than mine it's all good

does anyone have a remote clue what's going on?
