unofficial-setup-help

[red juniper]

something you can try, i did this with my tribe mates character, make a back up of your character profile, then delete it fromthe server, then you create a new character and check if you are now able to play, if yes, then delete that new profile and put back your old profile in the server

[sage spear]

my friend is trying to find my character profile. he runs the server. where do you back it up. so we don’t mess this up

we found ARKPROFLE folders

[red juniper]

ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks\Extinction_WP

somewhere in this folder luck for .arkprofile files

[sage spear]

okay

[red juniper]

just need to figure out which one is your profile

[sage spear]

we did, crossing fingers

[red juniper]

hope it works, it worked for us

[sage spear]

he deleted the profilebak and the ark profile i was given the option to create a character. i created it and tried to spawn and the screen went black again and kicked me

[red juniper]

that sucks, well we tried

[sage spear]

yup, thanks for the help!

[verbal fossil]

Anyone here plays Xbox cloud gaming ? When ever I tru to join a server with mods it crashes

[red juniper]

do you get an error or sum?

as dumb as it sounds, do you have room for them to install?

search for this on the search box 'curseforge app' you might find an answer

aparently installing the curse forge app fixes that issue

according to what im reading just have it installed, open ark and let the game installl the mods

maybe those mods that are not installing, got corrupted during the failed install process, see if you can manually uninstall them in the mods tab

im just guessing tho

[somber arrow]

Anyone having trouble with OSD's not spawning on extinction?

[paper nimbus]

Hi is there a unofficial server me and my friend can join

[bleak ivy]

#1110925695900713072
this is for setup help.

[trim yew]

so for the Astraeos premium map... how would I go about running it on my dedicated server, since I have not paid for it yet but I have a few people in my community requesting it

[bleak ivy]

wait until its actually released. and launch it as normal. servers don't own anything.
you won't be able to properly moderate it if its a public server tho.

[trim yew]

me personally i wont be able to monitor it until i pay for it, but i have a moderator who is going to watch over it till i do. I am the overall admin of my cluster

just trying to prepair things

[jaunty vortex]

Yes. But the server I joined has 7 or 8 mods depending on events.

How many mods are on your server?

[marsh elm]

I always join through the browser unfortunately it’s happening to me and one of my admins

[worthy roost]

Can you back up a server and load it in single player?

Or well I’m pretty sure you can but how

[distant hearth]

yes you can , copy the server save folder from server to your pc(usually done via ftp), then move the save file for the map you want over to you single player save location.
The world save is simple an done, the player data , you have to then change the filename to match up with what single player uses

[celest halo]

Then go chop down the trees and break the rocks that are in your house 🤣

[lone lodge]

Good Morning all, Question please. The new Astraoes Map. when it comes out officially, will it overwrite the previous one, be a different map name etc?

[ivory quiver]

can anyone help me with this

So I play the game on ark survival evolved PlayStation 4, but now suddenly when I tried to join a server I get stuck on joining session for a while before telling me that the unknown error message what do I do

[low dew]

@ivory quiver sounds liek a bob with probs issue

[ivory quiver]

Ohhh that what that's mean thanks

[solar hill]

Anyone know if theres a way to adjust the "crafting requirements" for blueprints? Were using gportal for our server, and the requirements for BPs are insane.

[distant hearth]

you probably have the loot quality set high an are getting craszy ascendendant bp that cost a fortune?

[solar hill]

Yes, we're also using the eternal mod, so level is quite a bit higher. Would turning down the loot quality fix the ridiculous BP crafting costs>?

[distant hearth]

it shud help

can even go down as far as like 0.5 to try balance it

[patent heron]

Can I spawn a tamed reaper queen with regions color Id 6 what command would it be?

[solar hill]

Seems like it did; secondary question....were on Olympus map, anyone know why we dont see any "ringed/halo" drops? Theyre all just normal beacons

[quick escarp]

have the Winter Wonderland rewards/items been hard coded into the game yet or do I need to keep WW running even after Love Ascended starts this week so folks don't loose everything they worked for?

[pure haven]

they already been added to core long time ago

[quick escarp]

thank you. I must have missed the patch note for that one

[atomic sleet]

Is there anyway a friend of mine can play in a non-dedicated server with eachother that we made without paying?? I needed to aquire admin so thats why we wanted our own server

[jaunty vortex]

Depends on what platform they are on. If it’s steam to steam, PS5 to PS5 or Xbox to Xbox then yes.

[atomic sleet]

We're both on Steam, But I need help figuring out how to set up the server so if anyone could help me that would be, so helpful

[cerulean moth]

Anyone know when unofficial is releasing for Ark ultimate mobile edition?

[spare valley]

Hi does some unofficial ps5 servers have primal chaos on them

[distant hearth]

mobile has its own discord, best to ask there

[distant hearth]

#1110925695900713072 or look on a website called battlemetrics an sort the servers with that mod filter

[raw glade]

@cerulean moth

ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile:

The ARK Mobile official Discord can be found here:

Ark mobile discord

ARK Mobile players will always be welcome in this discord too!

[red juniper]

will be same map name, you will just need to change mod id, and will keep your progress

[lethal stream]

When the new map mod drops can we change our mod id also at releas or is it later for us?

maybe good to know we use a nitrado server

[wise kindle]

It should show up as a new map option in the map dropdown menu. No mod needed.

[distant hearth]

you think? i thought it was still gonna be a mod, but just added to official servers

[wise kindle]

Nah. Its a dlc so should be in the game and show in the dropdown like aberration, SE etc.

[distant hearth]

oh that make easy for nitrado users then, hopefully not to much delay either as nekatus is a partner/working with nitrado for that map

[wise kindle]

Yeah. Its not the DLC we would want but better than nothing I guess.

[distant hearth]

3 edits later an i managed to spit out what i was trying say lmao

[lethal stream]

Thx for all the answers, so another question... Will your progress be there or do we need to start at scratch?

[distant hearth]

id expect it to be lost if it is a dlc tbh

i dont know for sure though, might be best take a look in nekatus discord

[lethal stream]

Do u have a link for me ^^

[wise kindle]

Honestly I don’t trust it to transfer.
The Svart map was supposed to do the same when going from free to premium.
Yeah it tanked my map.
So I have no trust there.

[distant hearth]

i wont be able link it here, look up the mod on curseforge page and it will have the link to his discord

[lethal stream]

Thx 🙂

[distant hearth]

i just dont trust ark to work, lmao , anything new= broken

[lethal stream]

we transferd items and dinos from the island to astaeos

[wise kindle]

Im sure you did.

Im talking about the transition from free to premium.

[distant hearth]

i played the free version, i dont think i ever played the premium, i do own it , maybe thats why as it dint move the save file over, so long ago i cant actually rem tbh

[lethal stream]

Ah yeah its totally new for us always played on xbox 🙈

[wise kindle]

I had a player paying for a private map. Wanted it changed from the free version to premium. According to the Savrt discord, you simply shutdown and change to the premium mod and start it up.
Yeah that wiped the map completely.
Rolling to backups didnt work either.
They werent happy.

So Im just not taking that at its word lol.

[lethal stream]

ahhhh so okey we shall see

[lone lodge]

same, It sure didnt work that way, plus Premium has a lot of different landscape changes. parts or no base left were the results

[wise kindle]

Yep, Ark being Ark I guess.

[raven wigeon]

so to have the gashas produce stuff u need to be near them now???

can this be changed????

[lone lodge]

I know they work better when near them, we have a snow owl at nose and pego at the rear.

[raven wigeon]

yeah, but if u leave the map they dont produce anything

[lone lodge]

Yes, correct

[raven wigeon]

is there any option to disable that?

[lone lodge]

like dinos with producing eggs or doeds set out to get rocks etc. you must be in render or someone in render for them to work

[lone lodge]

NO promises if it will still work. "bEnableStasis" setting to "False" within the "Game.ini" file

[raven wigeon]

ill check

[arctic badger]

First off: apologies if this has already been asked.

Used to have a Nitrado server for Ark: Evolved. Had modded the servers via coding found online.

Just wondering if these codes are the same for Asa?

Thanks in advance!

[distant hearth]

some are the same, many have also changed , here has a list of most ini configs(code),
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
also ark beacon app/programme is very helpful with that sort thing, free version does alot, paid version does everything

[rapid flax]

Anyone having trouble connecting to a Nitrado server? Mine is giving me Joining Failed Unknown Error

[forest root]

Anyone having issues with wilds spawning inside of structures/on claimed land in their unofficials? I'm running an Unofficial dedicated and set up on herb Island. Resource nodes are suppressed as usual but wilds are spawning in and immediately around my base still.

[arctic badger]

Thank you 🙏

[lavish gulch]

does anyone know how to unbugg my custom cosmetics skins?

[lone lodge]

Me too, I have uninstalled reinstalled rebooted you name that I've done it and only about 1/4 of my skins actually showing my inventory slot for custom cosmetics

[glossy comet]

So we have a new dedicated machine we bought to start up a cluster and right now we're just testing. We have a couple of mods nothing big, server starts up uses maybe 7-8 gigs of ram then and hour later it creeps up to 18-22. This isn't only the one map its all 6 and not a soul is playing on them. Sorry for paragraph just need some honest opinions. Everything is vanilla, no rates have been raise or spawns either. Thanks

[lavish gulch]

same problem here literal all

[red juniper]

could be dinos over spawning, are you using a server manager?

[glossy comet]

yes gsa with. no dino mods, haven't increased spawns either

[red juniper]

could be a bug related to that manager

[glossy comet]

will try out the other manager and see if its the same and go from there thanks

[red juniper]

yup, i had this same high ram usage long ago, it was fixed with an update on the manager itself

[glossy comet]

good to know appreciate it

[jolly lynx]

Is there any way to remove/shorten cooldown on wild and all other titans for a server

[verbal spire]

So I've a query and maybe someone can help me. I've got a possible glitch on one of my Carlos and wondering if I can actually duplicate it or if ita totally random.

And duh can't add pics

But it's health is over 1 mil and it's melee is over 9k level 525

And didn't do anything but boost it's level

Carchar not carlos

[tepid berry]

There's a mod called 'Random Configs' that will let you reduce the cooldown timer. The King Titan world spawn is every 24hrs, I don't know how to change that one.

[lapis pine]

Is king titan broken?
Our wild Dino levels are 300. Gamma king titan spawned in at lvl 1,500 and completely wiped maxed out lvl Dino’s with 2 kits. Dino’s were Moro Rex’s and wyvern and pyromane with 255 mutations in melee, hp, Stam and weight, our Dino levels were lvl 1,950

Gamma shouldn’t of spawned that high of level

[acoustic granite]

I don't have anything restricting the Faso harvest rate but it's harvesting at official rates on my 15x, what could be causing this?

[lapis pine]

Harvesting or taming?

[acoustic granite]

Harvesting.
Nothing in the code mentioning faso but gets 14 flint per rock on 15x Harvest

Increasing melee didn't up it by much and that's with 500 melee

[fathom tinsel]

Jumping into the convo at random, need to read the history. I found that every other update/server reboot it seems like my enhanced harvesting get's broken. I wait for the next update to restart the server now. It is very annoying and I have posted this before but no one else has responded to my posts about it. I host a dedicated server (PC) on Linux.

[lone lodge]

I have realized if you hold your cursor over each one it'll tell you what they are. And even though the skin to us is blank it shows up like it's supposed to

[noble pulsar]

unknown error when joining nitrado hosted unofficial server, anyone with an idea what happend ?

[gentle niche]

considering buying bobs tall tales, i already have SE on my cluster, will it mess anything up?

[wise kindle]

Nope

[gentle niche]

so my existing server save will remain the same just with the added dlc stuff?

[wise kindle]

Yes its fine. Its not connected to your save.
You can purchase without issue.

[gentle niche]

awesome thnk you 🙂

[jaunty vortex]

The Bob’s dlc content is already in game. All buying it does is unlock it for your use.

[chrome tundra]

🤡

[raven wigeon]

hello, any1 having issues with extinction map stuttering???

its the only map that does that!!!

[raven wigeon]

micro lagging

[humble thicket]

anybody knows what changed since astraeos is becoming official dlc, we have it as a mod map. do we need to change anything? is it for free?

[raven wigeon]

also are the decays working on pvt servers?

[tepid berry]

That's kind of a question I have as well - is the map name just going to be "Astraeos_WP" without the "-mod=" bit when it gets officially released? Or are they going to designate a special name for it...I guess we have to wait and see.

[lapis quest]

I believe Nekatus is gonna work on the dlc only from now

[lapis quest]

Yes, Astraeos_WP, there's a few QA servers running with that map name on battlemetrics

No other mods, just the map itself

[tepid berry]

Perfect.

Ty, that means I'm all set up and ready to go for launch.

[merry silo]

Is this the right channel to ask about how to startup my steamCMD server and make it show up on an Xbox server list?
(It’s visible in Steam, and tried adding -crossplay to the command line but no luck)

[jaunty vortex]

yes

you don't need to add crossplay, it's the default.

How are you starting the server?

[merry silo]

I saw people say that it was the default on Reddit too. One sec I’m going to switch to my pc so I can copy/paste

[merry silo]

I'm starting with a bat file in windows ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?listen?SessionName=ocelot?ServerPassword=password?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=10?ServerAdminPassword=password -ServerPlatform=ALL -NoBattlEye -crossplay

[merry silo]

I have tried it with/without those -parameters at the end, no luck

[austere needle]

are u hosting on your own gamingpc or useing an differend system ? / if differend system make sure u have all certificates installed (just install epiclaugher)

[merry silo]

Not sure what you mean by using a different system

[austere needle]

i mean a server or an other pc as an server

[merry silo]

It’s just using steamCMD on my pc. I don’t know what Nitrado is but I’m not using that

And I didn’t buy anything through Microsoft store

[arctic sage]

so you have a pc with the server and you want to connect with your xbox? can the xbox see other servers, can anyone else see your server (say from a pc), maybe portforwarding or something like that needs to be enabled?

[merry silo]

Yes, I am running it on my pc as a server. I can connect to it on my LAN through steam, but not from the Xbox on the same LAN and yes Xbox can connect to other servers

All of my windows firewall rules and port forwarding on my router should be good though too

[arctic sage]

is it running now? since i can't see it on my pc (just to check we are talking asa? i don't seem to find it when searching for ocelot

[celest halo]

Most of that is wrong for a ASA server

And going by map name that's ASE, and ASE does not have crossplay between steam and xbox

[jaunty vortex]

Try that.

[celest halo]

You forgot to fix map name for ASA

[jaunty vortex]

True

[devout elbow]

Anyone know how to enable the love ascended mod on unofficial clusters?

I entered in the command after jumping into admin mode, but it doesnt appear to have worked.

[bleak ivy]

it hasn't released yet.
its a mod on ASA, same as last year.

[devout elbow]

Thank you!

[distant hearth]

shootgameserver.exe is for ase so he wont ever get the xbox working on that server

[jaunty vortex]

Nope. No crossplay.

Really wish Wildcard had separated out ASE changes from ASA.

Deleted my post, it won’t help.

[merry silo]

Oh no- Xbox can't connect to Steam server for Ark Survival Evolved? There are some fools on Reddit who claim they've done it! What about using the Ark Server Manager?

[merry silo]

Is there another way I can run a server o a PC for xbox players?

[celest halo]

ASE is only crossplay steam to epic

[merry silo]

darn

[jaunty vortex]

And no mods either.

[merry silo]

My server is running now and should ve visible to steam players if anyone wants to test for me (to ake sure i did actually forward my ports correctly) server name is ocelot

[merry silo]

Oh bumer too, my son at least wanted the strctures plus and dino storage

[merry silo]

Should I tell him to move on to ASA? Is it a different purchase? Is it better/worse?

[celest halo]

ASE only steam can use mods

[bleak ivy]

if they aren't on next gen then it doesn't matter.
ps5, xbox series, or a good enough PC.

[merry silo]

he has series s

[bleak ivy]

technically works but has issues

[merry silo]

does ASA support crossplay xbox--> steam with mods?

[celest halo]

Good luck series s with mods on ASA has issues

[merry silo]

oh shoot

[bleak ivy]

yes, all ASA platforms can crossplay and have mods.

you'll be fine on unofficial with a few mods. just don't build big bases or have tons of dinos out

also stay away from structure skins

[celest halo]

Or use a cryo mod most that I have seen have issues on the s

[bleak ivy]

there was an update that caused issues. they are fixing it. currently effects all consoles.

[jaunty vortex]

Series S doesn’t have the RAM for a load of mods, sadly.

[bleak ivy]

hard to trouble shoot on console since they give 0 info 🙃

my series S doesn't have issues on my server with dino depot but plenty of others have mentioned it.

I would assume its mainly singleplayer.

[celest halo]

Yeah I see alot of people with an s have issues with that one in there discord

[merry silo]

So I will delete everything that steamcmd downloaded for ASE and follow a similar path for ASA except 2430930 for Survival Ascended, based on using instructions from here good? https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

[merry silo]

him and one friend

[bleak ivy]

I meant the dino depot issues singleplayer takes more strain on the device since its running everything.

[merry silo]

So "Dino Depot" mod is ok? Any others as minimum recommended?

[bleak ivy]

custom dino levels

fixes level distribution.

[merry silo]

ASE server named ocelot is running now, can you let me know if you see it? (to make sure i did actually forward my ports correctly before I remove and setup my ASA) password=password if you want to actually test connecting

Thanks everyone!

[distant hearth]

asa works differntly and only needs the game port fowarded anyway , in udp

[merry silo]

ok- I'll update that when i get there, thx

[surreal moon]

anyone having issues with any servers that dissapeared still giving a timedout/unable to connect error?

reinstalled the server still no luck

[remote ether]

Can anyone help me with an ini configurations (I have the BaseDeviceProfile.ini file already configured with the ini settings I would like but the configurations do not work on the game.) I turned off allow single player settings, validated files, etc.

Before I’m asked… No, the configurations aren’t used to set up a server, it will be for pvp.

[red juniper]

fresh serevr or a server that was working fine before?

[kindred ledge]

Does anyone know the code to enable flyers on abberation

[bleak ivy]

CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads=true in gameusersettings.
I think you also need to enable cave flyers

[kindred ledge]

Would that work with the new map

[bleak ivy]

astaeos doesn't have a dino block does it
enabling cave flyers is all maps that have caves that block flyers.

[kindred ledge]

I thought at one point it was said that it was a flyer free map by the creator

Could be wrong lol

[wise kindle]

Its not anymore. The masses talked him out of it.

[kindred ledge]

Ah ok

[bleak ivy]

wasn't that svart? can't imagine a 264~km^2 map being no flyers lol.

sounds pain

[wise kindle]

Svart was locked down for ages and ppl started adding mods that allow fliers so he eventually gave up on it.

[slow ginkgo]

Hey guys, I've been using -usestore on my cluster for the last 3 months and it's been great, today lost our first character but I've been using -BackupTransferPlayerDatas . Just noticed i have no .arkprofiles anywhere in my install folder. Am i missing something or does it not work to backup profiles?

[stable ledge]

What’s the _WP for official Astraeos?

[errant tiger]

Isnt it the same as the modded version, Astraeos_WP?

I dont know for sure but that's what Im tryna find out ^^;;

[safe helm]

If you use the dropdown on nitrado web interface it puts the custom map name in for you.

[scarlet stone]

if I find anything to differentiate the free version and premium version (if you're hosting both), I'll post it here so everyone knows

for nitrado and dedicated

[fringe tulip]

and for non-nitrado servers ?

if someone has an nitrado server could look at the startup params would be cool

[wise kindle]

They hide alot of the startup. But im sure it wont be hard to figure out the map name.

They just said the mapname is Astraeos_WP for the DLC in Nekatus discord.

[lone lodge]

Good evening, SnowDragon, can you tell me what i will need on the server? do I still need the Mod or will selecting the map do everything? ( I have both modded and non modded servers)

[somber arrow]

I know patch dropped about 5 seconds ago, but does anyone know what the character ID is for Maelizard?

[wise kindle]

Its a dlc so you should not need a mod, just update your server and your game and it should be there.

[wise kindle]

Maybe maeguana_bp_c ?

[hasty elbow]

update just popped on steam for unofficial servers

[lusty turret]

no it didnt

[hasty elbow]

check steamdb

[wise kindle]

Its out on Win10 Xbox

[lusty turret]

already did

[tranquil pewter]

Actually is the server update not available for unofficial ... Think need little bit time

[hasty elbow]

me too, it dropped like 60s ago

Last Record Update 14 February 2025 – 06:04:33 UTC (1 minute ago)

[wise kindle]

Oh sorry I meant the client is out.

[slow ginkgo]

in all seriousness; if you have issues with server updating, rename steamapps folder to like steamapps__ and it will be forced to verify the data and it will pickup new downloads

good luck unofficials out there 🤞

[unborn ermine]

Some people have rocks for brains honestly

Thanks Eps 🙂

[buoyant yacht]

What is the Map Name?

Astreos_WP

[bleak ivy]

no

Astraeos_WP

[rapid creek]

Do we need a mod id for love ascended?

[bleak ivy]

927084

[tacit marsh]

I can just use that as the map name, and it should update accordingly? I keep thinking I need a mod ID to add with it like with Forglar.

[bleak ivy]

astaeos is not a mod, its a DLC.

[tacit marsh]

Right. I'm trying to add it to my cluster.

[bleak ivy]

should just need that map name. no mod.

nitrado may take longer then self-host

[tacit marsh]

Welp, all of my maps keep timing out trying to update lol

[errant tiger]

Mine keeps timing out as well, any reason or anything I can do about it?

[tacit marsh]

I was really hoping to be faster than nitrado when I built a server for this lol

[bleak ivy]

no idea, mine updated

haven't launched it yet tho I'm gonna back up my saved folder lol

[tacit marsh]

I got Island up, Center keeps struggling.

[somber arrow]

Have just updated my servers, the day count on them seems to be incorrect when at server browser

Aberration jumped from 1500 days to 3000+. Not logged in yet to see if that's actually changed anything

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure that just happens.

[tacit marsh]

Weee it's good now!

[raven wigeon]

any1 managed to run a server of the new dlc?? do we need to buy the new dlc for the dedicated server also?

[scarlet stone]

he's still releasing that guide that talks about free version and premium version and how to host both. but in the meanwhile, if you want the DLC version, you have to use Astraeos_WP for map name. This counts for both Nitrado and Dedicated

[raven wigeon]

im using that name, but everything turns black when i try to login

[errant tiger]

How did you get yours to work?

[tacit marsh]

I just kept updating until it stopped timing out. It's slow, but working. I still don't have Astraeos up though.

[bleak ivy]

servers don't own anything.

[raven wigeon]

still, im having black screen when i try to login

[errant tiger]

My server's console keeps saying connection refused while waiting for rcon connection when I put the Astraeos_WP map name in

[slow ginkgo]

seems everyones getting the black screen

[raven wigeon]

@slow ginkgoAhhh, fell better then, not the only one!!

[cloud shard]

Is there a way to find the meguana's code name? My server is on the island and I would like to offer it as an event reward. (I assume lovebirds are findable?)

[bleak ivy]

heard its maelizard. no idea if thats true

[slow ginkgo]

ive got a sneaky feeling the steam client didnt push as some peeps don't have the download button for the map, they can buy it multiple times if they want though

bam, called it

[vale fiber]

I am also

[void juniper]

you can use super cryo storage to find the name

[cloud shard]

I am new.. is that a mod or command?

[void juniper]

its a mod. but you can just use it on single player

[charred zealot]

STEAM It couldn't be created on a standalone machine, and I didn't even receive a new map download package

[tacit marsh]

Are the right ports added?

I deleted the install, and starting over.

[vale fiber]

do you need the astreos mod to load the map

[tacit marsh]

Nope, just Astraeos_WP

[vale fiber]

hmm

getting black screen

[tacit marsh]

Allegedly

[merry root]

Bad update

[vale fiber]

client side?

[tacit marsh]

I've had no success of my own with Astraeos just yet.

[merry root]

Yep steam issue

[errant tiger]

Wdym by the right ports?

[fathom tinsel]

Could they please stop doing major updates right before the weekend? PLEASE?
I don't want to restart or shutdown my server now since I feel like I am going to be in here tomorrow wondering how to fix it for the weekend.

Someone needs to teach them what "Read Only Friday" is.

[cloud shard]

This one was for Vday event.. so they kinda had to do it today

[fathom tinsel]

They should have published the updates at the start of the week even if they only went live on a small set of internal or beta servers to test it. You get what I'm saying.

[wise kindle]

yeah nah, this should have come out on Tuesday and the mod can update whenever. These shouldnt have been tied together imo.

[frigid vine]

Good Morning. Any issues known with the Major Update? Or its safe to Update this time?

[fathom tinsel]

I am not currently willing to restart my sever to check. I was about to shut it down for the night (usa) but now I guess ill leave it running.

[fluid shuttle]

update broken

[tacit marsh]

It's working for me, aside from Astraeos

[fathom tinsel]

Well, guess im not restarting my server for the next week. Probably. sigh Every time guys, every time.

Want to hire a few of us for QA/QE? I bet half of us would do it for free.

[frigid vine]

Can you specify? Steam issues or the Update Breaks something in-game?

[fluid shuttle]

Steam is having issues. I believe it wont let us open the map

[fluid shuttle]

Look at the announcements

[tacit marsh]

I'm in extinction now on 61.14

[frigid vine]

Okay. Thanks. The map is not important for me. We will not host a 30% complete Map:D

[cerulean galleon]

im guessing no one is able to get past ticking loop for Astraeos servers?

[fathom tinsel]

Every, single, time. Something. It is always something. I know it is not always their fault but really, EVERY TIME.

[frigid vine]

Saw it. But this Messages says nothing specific too

[fathom tinsel]

With a message like that just assume if you update the server or your client and you are a STEAM player it is broken until it's not.

[cloud shard]

hmm.. Love Bird didnt come up on the gene scanner..

Maeguana did though..

[tacit marsh]

I'm now and forever will be an Astraeos loop ticker

Oh shit, it's up!

I deleted the install files and redownloaded. It's up now.

[errant tiger]

Where are the install files located?

[tacit marsh]

I set mine up in a specific way. I'm using Ark Server Creation Tool though.

[rough flame]

Heya how do I set up astreos after I buyd it because I changed the map to astreos but nitrado still says modded map

[tacit marsh]

And now I am become black screen 🤦‍♂️

[cloud shard]

I dont seem to be seeing any info on love birds

[rough flame]

Anybody that know how I do setup astreos on nitrado

[dusky thistle]

Set the map name to Astraeos_WP

[tacit marsh]

Then blackscreen

[rough flame]

Yeah but how it only says astreos modded map

[dusky thistle]

Just put custom map name then type it in manually.

[rough flame]

No astreos _wP

[teal pollen]

just got an update on steam

[rough flame]

Alright i did that let's see

[bleak ivy]

its Astraeos_WP

[teal pollen]

anyone get an update for server side yet ?

[pure haven]

was anyone able to startup astraeos server? not the modded map one

looks like it doesnt even load the map. just stuck in loop

[dusky thistle]

Yea mine is up and im on it now

[pure haven]

are you still using activemodmap config in gus?

[dusky thistle]

no

[pure haven]

and was it clean install or safes transferred from modded map?

[dusky thistle]

Never played on the modded version

[molten fog]

My astraeos nitrado server is on day 356 and I've tried to start on new save, and changed to custom map. How do I start day 1 on new map?

[pure haven]

hm interesting. dont mind sharing your server startup line?

for some reason my server completely skip the map load even tho i put map name and everything right

[rough flame]

You need to wipe ur server re instal the ark on the nitrado if you use nitrado

[dusky thistle]

Nitrado hides the command line like there's a nuclear launch code embedded into it, otherwise I would.

[pure haven]

oh its nitrado

[fathom tinsel]

They think there are not THOUSANDS of us that run our own private servers. I run my server on Linux using emulation. How much do you want to bet they might too and don't want you to know?

[rough flame]

My server seems to hanging in starting server

And would not.g9 to server is started

[bleak ivy]

because its Astraeos_WP

[rough flame]

I typed that in

[lone pike]

Curious if anyone here has ever tried to remove some of the engrams from Arkitect Structures Remastered? I have the engrams names and the code appears to be correct to me, but still isn’t removing the items. They don’t have a discord I can ask in either. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏻

[bleak ivy]

you put this up here

[rough flame]

I did custom then beneath the custom the right map name

[dusky thistle]

Astroturf_WP

[rough flame]

What

Wich one is the correct one now

[cloud shard]

Anyone having anyluck finding the spawn name for Maeguana or any details on Love Birds?

[lone pike]

If your using nitrado, the dlc is listed now

[molten fog]

There's a option for astraeos dlc on nintrado

[dusky thistle]

Astraeos_WP

Thats record time for them updating their UI

Usually 4-6 weeks

[rough flame]

Oh yeah I see

I hope it wil start my server now

[somber arrow]

This look like the right edit to have Maeguana spawn on beaches of The Island?
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesBeach_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="MaeguanaSpawner",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Maeguana_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Maeguana_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

[rough flame]

It still won't start stil getting stuck at starting server

[dusky thistle]

Did you uninstall the mod for it?

[rough flame]

I think

[rare trench]

Mine is still saying no sessions found

[raven wigeon]

ahh, everything running smooth now

[cloud shard]

Im not sure... I cant get the summon command to work with that BP_C string

[dusky thistle]

It's Maelizard in the command

it works with that

[cloud shard]

ok. that solves that :0) Now to keep trying things until I find love birds :0) its not as easy as just putting lovebirds in though.. i tried that

[dusky thistle]

Summon Rhynio_Character_BP_LoveBug_C

You can use cheat ListDinos to get the actual paths to anything you need

[cloud shard]

thats the Love Bug, Love Birds are new this vday according to the announcement

[dusky thistle]

LanternBird_CHaracter_BP_LoveBird_C

[cloud shard]

wow.. that command.. is a wall of text. How did you search that so fast?

[dusky thistle]

Its at the very bottom and I had it up already

from looking for maezard

[cloud shard]

huh.. gmsummon didnt tame it..

[dusky thistle]

the earlier parth of the BP path sorts it a bit so you can exclude all the primaldino stuff and just look for map names in the BP path

I did notice that

[cloud shard]

so.. looks like a larger featherlight.. with halo, heart glasses, and angel wings..

I guess I cant post images.. but.. I would say.. 3-4 times larger in size.

[rough flame]

I don't.have the mod installed and it still won't start the server

[hallow hill]

Anyone know how to transfer the astraeos mod save to the premium version. Im on the series x. The mod page stated your saves would be transfered.

[rough flame]

I have buyd the dlc on my xbox so I don't need to buy it on nitrado right

[dusky thistle]

no you dont buy anything on nitrado

[rough flame]

Wel then I don't get why my server won't start

[jaunty vortex]

Including servers 😂

[peak sapphire]

That’s a PC/server function because you won’t have access to the save file on Xbox

[rough flame]

It whas stuck at starting server now it says nothing no server is started only server is offline /20 slots

Not 0/20

[dusky thistle]

There's always the possibility that a mod youre using could have been broken by the update and is causing issues.

[hallow hill]

@peak sapphire wish the mod was clear on this. So i just lose everything and have to start over. Such crap really

[rough flame]

Wel i trie with no mod for now then

[dusky thistle]

Well if it loads with no mods then you know. Then you can start adding back till it breaks again.

[jaunty vortex]

It’s a major update. Mods often break. Especially ones that have not been updated in months.

[dusky thistle]

so far I can tell you that nucleus, depot, and the cliffan wardrobe isnt the cause

[true estuary]

Anyone else having issues logging into the dlc map after buying it? It is installed on my server and I bought it but when I try to join it says I need to go to the store to install it and then when I click accept on that l, it takes me to the store which just says,"Already owned. It looks like you already own this." Just a close button and I'm stuck in a loop. ???

[peak sapphire]

I feel your pain. It’s the main reason I use servers due to console limitations.

[dusky thistle]

tried restarting steam to refresh ownership and all?

[hallow hill]

@peak sapphire i dont even think i could start a server and transfer the save that way. As it wont even load the free verson of astraeos since i got the premium

@peak sapphire i can load the premium verson up just fine starting new. But the mod one i get nothing

[rough flame]

Deleted al stil won't work

[true estuary]

Mine isn't steam. It's xbox. And, yes. It got a big install after I bought the dlc map.

[errant tiger]

Many hours later and this stuff still aint workin? Ive got my map set to the right one and all it does is send the server into an infinite start up loop

Is this happenin for anyone else?

[rough flame]

My nitrado astraeos won't start at all

[dusky thistle]

Try setting map to custom and pasting Astraeos_WP into the custom map name instead of using the dropdown, no idea why that would or wouldnt work but dunno what else to try.

Thats how mine is set

[true estuary]

My server is started Fine and I can see it in the list but just a loop of telling me the required dkc is not installed, sending me to the store, and then telling gme I already own it. Can't log into the server even though it is up and running.

[peak sapphire]

I’m not suggesting you do that besides you still wouldn’t be able to transfer the save regardless. For future reference though, transfers to and from maps also work between SP and servers.

[peak sapphire]

Hard restart your xbox

[true estuary]

Already have. Still the same thing.

[hallow hill]

@peak sapphire oh i know transfering from map to map works on sp. But saves i didnt think so. Untill the mod stated it would. But the way i see it as of now is that saved is burnt since it wont load.

[peak sapphire]

No saves don’t on console, but I’m saying the map transfer works the same between SP and servers as long they aren’t in a cluster.

[hallow hill]

@peak sapphire when you mentioned servers alow save files to be transfered i had a shimmer of hope 😆. But thank you for conferming that i cant. Saves me time

@peak sapphire yes im aware of transfering works i do that frequently switching from map to map on sp.

[peak sapphire]

Might be worth addressing this with Nekatus on their discord.

[hallow hill]

@peak sapphire whats their discord?

[misty river]

And no one cares that in a single player game on the aberration map, no one will spawn

[dusky thistle]

Changing the game mode oddly enough seems to fix that for whatever reason. PvE->PvP or vice versa

[hallow hill]

@misty river ? I dont understand the question

[rough flame]

Even with the island my server won't start

[peak sapphire]

I’ve DM’d you a link

[misty river]

in a single player game..It's very cool...

[hallow hill]

@peak sapphire got it. Thanks for the help

[rough flame]

Stil not working with any map pff

[dusky thistle]

Nitrado right?

[hardy pelican]

what's the map name for custom servers

[dusky thistle]

Astraeos_WP

[hardy pelican]

ty

[buoyant yacht]

Anyone elses server crashing when loading up the Astraeos Wardrobe mod?

[dusky thistle]

It likely needs to be updated after patch if its definitely that causing it

[rough flame]

Yeah nitrado

[buoyant yacht]

So far all my normal mods load fine and the Astraeos Structures loads, still testing the creatures and ship

[rough flame]

It says now after force starting a new update wil me installed but it take to long

[dusky thistle]

I do have to do a force start/stop now and again if it gets hung up starting or updating

[peak sapphire]

Thats a custom cosmetic so should only effect your client surely?

[rough flame]

My other server works fine only this one that I want to be astraeos is not

[buoyant yacht]

different mod

[teal beacon]

Soo, I thought the new map was a freemium? Allowing you to play on the premium map if you haven’t bought it? Just stuck in the free zone.

I’ve gone to load back into our server and since the game updated, it’s telling me I MUST download the paid dlc to access it..

[buoyant yacht]

nvm im an idiot

it is a cosmetic mod

[upbeat beacon]

Can you guys explain what would happen if I changed the cosmos config lines? Like how would these make the cosmo act what would change on it.
MaxCosmoWeaponAmmo=-1
CosmoWeaponAmmoReloadAmount=-1

[chrome girder]

anybody else nitrado astraeos map not letting them join

[dusky thistle]

Are those real options?

[rough flame]

Mine won't even start the server

It's stuck on restart or update

[dusky thistle]

Wasnt it doing the update finally?

[rough flame]

Yeah then it got stuck again

So I force stopt it en then restarted it

[chrome girder]

on the nitrado side it says its up and running but when i click on the server it keeps tryna say connection problem then it started saying i dont have the required mods but i do

[dusky thistle]

Did you load the dlc map and not the mod version?

[chrome girder]

yeah dlc not mod

and i paid and downloaded the dlv

[dapper oar]

My server with v61.14 does not appear, is it on the old Astraeos map, does that influence?

[rough flame]

Same but mine stuck everytime

[dusky thistle]

check your messages

[teal beacon]

Does the DLC release mean the mod version can’t be used unless the dlc’s bought?

[rough flame]

It's runningggg

But now it says /20 slots

[dusky thistle]

ignore that for now and see if it shows up on list

[rough flame]

Now nitrado did restart it on his own

[dusky thistle]

when it first boots up and dashboard hasnt updated it says that sometimes

[rough flame]

Now the update downloading again

[bright aurora]

Can u tame lovebirds

[rough flame]

Now restart again whutt

Wel il check

Lol now both my servers not showing up extinction and my other

What is it with nitrado lol

[rugged tendon]

Did you remove the
ActiveModMap under GUS?

[rough flame]

Yeah it finally says up and running but can't find both my servers in the unofficial server list

[haughty ether]

They are still looking into servers not showing, there was a status update in the Nitrado discord last night

[rough flame]

Oh can you send the discord link private

[dapper oar]

Why my server astraeos mod map dont appears??

[teal beacon]

Have you bought it ?

I’ve just come to find out the whole free part of the map still being playable was lies and you HAVE to purchase it

[haughty ether]

was not lies, its been stated many times, so many people thought this was free dlc and its not

[haughty ether]

done 🙂

[teal beacon]

I never said it was a free dlc? I knew it was a premium. It was suppose to of been freemium. Meaning you had to purchase the map to get the entirety of it, but you were still able to use the free part if you didn’t

[haughty ether]

you don't lose your save from the free version, but the new dlc is not free Its not a mod, its DLC its different , not freemium - thats a mod

[dapper oar]

So what happens to those of us who have a server hosted on that map?

[rugged tendon]

Its currently bugged. There is a free seperate version and paid version. I believe wildcard knows of the bug and is working their best to fix it.

[teal beacon]

Thankyou. So I was in fact right

[dapper oar]

thank you!! some information helps...

[teal beacon]

Whenever I go to join the mod map it’s taking me straight to the dlc page to buy it… I have a server full of people that can’t do that 😅

[rugged tendon]

Yes. Just for some reason you can't play either atm from reports I've heard and read so far.

[chrome girder]

is anybody able to get into their nitrado server on console?

[haughty ether]

yes all my servers are accessible - but I haven't got Astraeos if thats what you are asking

[chrome girder]

yeah i can’t get into it it keeps saying i don’t have the mod downloaded but i do

[haughty ether]

best to join the nitrado discord, i am sure i have seen that mentioned in there.

[weary yew]

cannot get my steam cmd to update server to 6. whatever stuck on 5.91

[solar granite]

Same, excpect Club_Ark...

[jaunty vortex]

I’d delete the contents of your steam apps folder. Specifically the acf file.

Then try updating again.

[celest halo]

There’s a thing about that in #announcements

[main depot]

What is the ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer entry in the game.ini to let the Maeguana spawn on other maps?

My current attempt:
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString=‘SnowGrasslandsUnderArea_Spawn_C “,NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName=”Center_SnowGras_Under_Maeguana’,EntryWeight=0. 10,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Blueprint/Game/ASA/Dinos/Maelizard/Maelizard_Character_BP. Maelizard_Character_BP‘))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString=’Blueprint/Game/ASA/Dinos/Maelizard/Maelizard_Character_BP.Maelizard_Character_BP’,MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.10))))

I have also omitted the ‘Blueprint/Game/ASA/Dinos/Maelizard/Maelizard_Character_BP.’ - also no success. I did the dino wild kill.

[teal beacon]

Has anyone got the discord for Nekatus?

[peak sapphire]

Check DM

[pure haven]

you bp path is wrong. its missing _C at the end. all bp paths in asa end like that

[celest halo]

Bp paths do not end like that class names do

[pure haven]

in asa they do. load up beacon and try to edit any spawn containers and see how bp path looks like in asa

[manic token]

i'm struggling to get a self-hosting astraeos server to start. I'm using map name Astraeos_WP. Other servers in the cluster start fine and are showing version 61.14 but astraeos just gets to "Full Startup: 5.20 seconds, Number of cores 24" in the logs but doesn't fully start. Had this with atlantis and turned out i hasn't added the mod id. is it the same for this?

[pure haven]

is it freshly installed server or you had modded astreos installed on it before?

[manic token]

fresh

[celest halo]

Spawn containers use class names not BP path

[pure haven]

in ase yeah. thats outdated wiki info for ase but no asa. try to edit any spawn container with just class names and see how its gonna work

trust me my dude i edited lots of spawn ocntainers for my cluster

[pure haven]

try to just load map first without any mods or configs. i did full reinstall for my server and just loaded blank astraoes map and after added configs and mods. didnt let me load it too at first

[worn belfry]

I'm starting to convert my unofficial from free astreos to paid astreos.

is the folder i need to rename: shootgame/saved/savedarks/astraeos to shootergame/saved/savedarks/astraeos_wp

[pure haven]

i recommend you to install a fresh server and add your saves and configs there, it will create a proper save folder for you. installing it on top of old modded server might not work well

[main depot]

THX!

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SnowGrasslandsUnderArea_Spawn_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Center_SnowGras_Under_Maeguana",EntryWeight=0.10,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Maelizard/Maelizard_Character_BP.Maelizard_Character_BP_C'"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Maelizard/Maelizard_Character_BP.Maelizard_Character_BP_C'",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.10)))

Works 😉 Missing _C and ' ' for Blueprint-Path. Now optimize EntryWeight, MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow - Balancing 😦

[worn belfry]

ack. over my head 🙂 need coffee. your advice is appreciated

[manic token]

Thanks. I tried without any mods or config but still nothing. All other servers are reporting a start up time of 60s+ whereas here it's a few seconds. Doesn't seem to recognise the map name at all. hopefully redownloading the server files will sort it 🤞

[bitter heron]

Hello, the Astraeos Mod is no longer displayed in our server list since the update. I have restarted it several times but it doesn't help. It simply doesn't appear anymore. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Likewise, I haven't been able to access the Insaluna web interface since this morning. It always says that Nitrado already knows about the problem and is working on a solution and that I should try again later. Thank you in advance

[humble thicket]

where did you add this? gus.ini? or g.ini?

[distant hearth]

its game ini , but will only work for the map and area he is adding it too and might not have the weight balance right

[manic token]

yeah redownloading server files solved the issue. thanks @pure haven

[humble thicket]

so if i add the code to my island and center, will the dino start spawning on island and center?

[distant hearth]

prob not, it will needed coded to an area on each of those maps , see here for more info ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Creature_Spawn_related

[bold mason]

Does anyone know if i update my asterous map will it swap the paid version automatically or stay the free version?

[distant hearth]

the free version is a mod , the paid version is not, they shud stay seperate

[bold mason]

Ok cool.

[main depot]

game.ini and not balanced. Spawn only near the Ice-Palace (?). I still don't know how to set MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow and EntryWeight correctly. I currently have 31,000 dinos on the whole map and 26 of them are Maeguanas.

[main depot]

I don't really understand the interaction of the two values yet. MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow is clear = what percentage of the WHOLE spawn in the area may be Maeguanas ... 10% is a bit much - I think 5-6% is enough ... But EntryWeight?

[sweet rapids]

EntryWeight - a value between 0.0 and 1.0 (0% to 100%)
How often a dino is "considered" for spawning. The higher the value, the more often this particular dino is chosen when a dino is spawned in an area.

[main depot]

I had found that too 🙂 But I don't really know what a good value is - especially in combination with the other value. Theoretically, the other value could be very low, EntryWeight very high - but would then be cancelled out by the other value :). So it means finding a mathematically good solution 🙂

[tepid berry]

I'm having the same problem @manic token is -- Using "Astraeos_WP" as map name, and it doesn't seem to recognize it, doesn't load it up. Just hangs there not loading any map at all. Server memory sits at 800mb (which is usually the case when it can't find a map), and just says 'ticking loop'

[merry root]

Map Folder: Astraeos_WP
Map Name: Astraeos_WP.ark

[manic token]

@tepid berry i just renamed my server files directory and let steamcmd redownload everything

[tepid berry]

@manic token did that too - did fresh download, tried validating, still not recognizing it.

[manic token]

do you see ark version 61.14 in the logs?

[tepid berry]

Yep.

I'm downloading another fresh one now shrug

[manic token]

tried without mods/custom config?

[tepid berry]

I'll try that next.

Welp, that seemed to have worked somehow.

Thanks.

[rotund scaffold]

Another update to ruins the mods again 😕

[echo stone]

Hey yall, Im looking to add the love ascended to my cluster, but im wondering, is it the mod i need to add, or is it a code? The information they provided suggested a code, and the picture shown on the mod looks like last years love ascended

[lost siren]

Nitrado?

[lost siren]

It is the same picture from last year. Don't worry, it is the same mod and the same event, lol. If it is Nitrado, you put the code in the mods input text and that's it, Restart the server. If it is not, probably you will have to download the mod, from curseforge? Looking for that code?

[echo stone]

im on nitrado, im pretty new yet and still learning. lol

[lost siren]

If you need any help, PM me. I run a 8 map cluster in Nitrado.

[echo stone]

That would be awesome! I dont have anyone to ask advice too lol

[worthy finch]

Are we using last years love ascended mod?

[wise kindle]

yes

[raven wigeon]

any1 with xbox or ps4 can check if a server with name PTserver appears? Just enabled xplay on all servers and i wanna know if the servers appear!

[fallen jolt]

Working?

[red wave]

When i joined my singleplayer world i could only create a new character so i joined and when i found my old base, my other character was there with all the dinos and stuff, but it wasnt me, it was just a weird statue. How do i get back to my old character?

[humble thicket]

can anybody help me increase tribetame limit from 250 too 500? my settings are:
gus.ini:
MaxTamedDinos=5000
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=5000
g.ini:
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=5000

[dull bear]

Whats the map ID for Astraeos?

[wise kindle]

#bobs-with-probs is a better place to ask this

[gentle sail]

How can I get asteros to run on my cluster? I tried just adding it and it doesn't work

[barren vortex]

Are there instructions that we can pin for all migrating astraeos to the premium version?

[celest halo]

lol you think WC gives instructions on how to run it for unofficial servers, they didnt even give us the map name we just guess at it 🤣

[gentle sail]

Lol that's true. I mean I tried putting it on like a normal map and it just doesn't show up on my server

[fading lion]

Speaking of, Astraeos_WP still isn't working on my linux / POK-manager setup. Just like the trouble I had with ClubARK, it loads in 2 seconds and never advertises (same behavior if I make up a non existant map name). Extinction and Island came up on version 61.14 just fine

[celest halo]

i havnt tried yet, at 26% on my download of the server to new vm for running that map lol

[wise kindle]

Steps for Astraeos mod users who want to continue their saved game in DLC;

• Stop Server
• In General Settings, Select Astraeos (DLC) in the map dropdown, clear "Custom Mapname" and save settings
• In Curseforge view: Remove Astraeos mod ID from the mod list or deactivate the Astraeos mod tile and SAVE
• Rename the Astraeos folder to Astraeos_WP (via File Browser or FTP)
• Start server

from Nitrado ^^

[gentle sail]

There is no general settings for the server I'm using to host

[wise kindle]

These are Nitrado instructions

[gentle sail]

Well that's why lol

[barren vortex]

Thanks

[cedar rivet]

Do you have to add wardrobe and structures to curseforge mods or is it part of dlc

[wise kindle]

Those are Custom cosmetics, so no.

[cedar rivet]

Ty

[valid needle]

Thank you. Prior to this version I had to manually add the map ID to the ini file. Do you know if I have to manually remove that or leave it and doing your steps should work?

[distant hearth]

the weight needs adjust depending on the weight of everything else in the spawn, its pretty tricky to sus out, i just do trial an error, even with ark beacon omni which helps imo

get a load of them to spawn, then dial it back

[fleet cosmos]

Is there a way to disable flyers on only one map in a cluster? Turning off their spawn won't work, members will just move their tames from other maps, but if I put bForceCanRideFliers=False in the gameusersettings.ini then I can't figure out how to make it apply to only one map vs all of them.

[wise kindle]

No, this isnt a mod.

[fickle bough]

I'm an xbox/xcloud/pc player because I downloaded it to play on my pc and I can't create a server to play with friends without having the problem that someone far away managed to help me make one to play with friends

[grave sigil]

The free version of the Astraeos map (Mod) is not loading at all, is that right then WC, are you going to force everyone to buy the paid version if they want to keep their progress on the map?

[peak sapphire]

Probably not desired but there’s a No Flyers mod that will sort it out for you. It won’t stop transfers but grounds them, prevents potential taming and stops breeding.

[fleet cosmos]

Thats what I ended up doing for the time being. I just want the flyers grounded, but the mod
prevents spawning/taming as well. bForceCanRideFliers makes it to where you can't mount flying tames, which is all I really want, but from research it looks like I'd have to set up my cluster differently to apply seperate .ini files. We were just trying to make new maps a little more interesting before we explore the whole thing in two seconds from the sky lol

[loud hawk]

Any steps for people who want to continue to use the mod instead of the DLC?

[celest halo]

Is that one of the settings that can also be used in the start bat, I haven't looked but a lot of the setting can be set in the start command

[fleet cosmos]

I tried it in the start.bat but it didn't work, I may try again later without the b in front and see if that works! I also looked into just make a mod myself/editing the no fliers mod but asa mods look more complicated than the minecraft ones I use to piddle with so I moved on from that plan 😂

I'm self hosting a two/three map cluster on steamCMD with a dedicated PC as an added tidbit in case anyone comes along with an answer 🥲

[celest halo]

Yeah not sure if it would be a - command or a ? One in the bat without doing some looking or if it will even work there, other option is kind of pain and involves having two ini files and switching them depending on what server your starting

Servers only read the ini files at startup, once they running they don't read it again. Servers write the setting they where using back to the ini when they shutdown, so if doing the swap method you need to keep a copy of both somewhere and copy it to where it needs to be before starting each map

[livid marlin]

I just need to find out what the version for astreos paid name is. Extinction is Extinction_WP but im assumimg it isn't Astreos_WP for the paid map

[celest halo]

Astraeos_WP

[livid marlin]

Certain this is for the paid one, not the free version?

[celest halo]

Your question said paid one

[quaint quail]

I'm fighting with a similar thing right now; server wasn't picking up on the new map.

[livid marlin]

yeah i know. Just making sure. Due to comments being made here

[quaint quail]

I completely removed the binaries from the server, (preserving the saved maps), and re-ran the steamcmd installer. Server now seems to be detecting the new map.

[livid marlin]

i did see someone on nitrado say there's a mod that's needed for Astreos as well. Unsure however

[celest halo]

No mod needed for the paid dlc version

[livid marlin]

Thanks

[shy marsh]

Anybody having the issue where it says you don’t own the map but then when you click to buy the map it says you own it?

[wise kindle]

Yes and I know several others with the same issue.

Reinstalling the game or restarting the platform doesnt help either. It appears to be a store issue.

[celest halo]

There was an announcement made about it so WC knows about it happening #announcements message

[shy marsh]

@celest halo & @wise kindle Thank you

[quaint quail]

Yup, my community has confirmed that it's working too, (I don't even have the game installed right now, let alone purchased the DLC), so can confirm as well that there's no mod required on the server side. The lover's event DOES seem to be compatible though, as expected.

[celest halo]

Yeah looking at my servers log file mines seems to be running fine with 13 mods on it, I don't own the dlc and not home to login to the server if I did own it 🤣

[errant tiger]

Can anyone help? I've got a server constantly refusing to start up with the new map, it just says connection refused in the console while waiting for rcon connection
It is ONLY the map causing this issue btw as removing all mods doesnt help and changing the map to The Island makes it start up just fine

[celest halo]

You using the correct map name

[errant tiger]

Astraeos_WP ?

[quaint quail]

Try removing all binaries and reinstalling from steamcmd.

[errant tiger]

Didnt work 😔

[quaint quail]

Not sure then, I removed Engine/, Manifest*.txt, ShooterGame/{Binaries,Content,Plugins}, and steamapps and was able to get it working.

Probably excessive, but not sure specifically which file was causing the issue, so just used a shotgun approach.

Then additionally, ensure you're not having any port conflicts anywhere if you're running multiple maps. (each game map + rcon must be a unique and unused port)

Lastly, check firewall rules; I had to update UFW to include the additional port, (UDP/7007, TCP/27007 in my particular case)

[celest halo]

I'm not sure either mine was a fresh server install on a new VM Astraeos_WP was map name I used

[quaint quail]

I noticed, I skimmed through the depot to see if anything looked weird, but the game server had those new files. But yes, I chock it up to Steam doing something weird with the assets. I believe I had this same issue when Extinction was released, the new map wasn't detected until I purged the game assets / reinstalled.

[silk pond]

in asa aberration my dinos dont spawn in im on pc how can i fix?

[distant hearth]

pretty sure that was due to steam changing how the server updates were listed, as no wwe can only the public ones, before we cud see al the test /beta ones, nitrado ones etc

[teal beacon]

Is there still no news on the fix’s between the paid map and the free map? Still unable to access our server after 12 hours

[terse goblet]

trying to set up my ASA server using the ASASM software on the wiki, and while installing/updating, the steamCMD windows closes, canceling the download. this happen to anyone else?

[errant tiger]

Ay Im not sure which one worked either but removing Engine and Shootergame worked! Steamapps was not the issue and I did not remove the manifest so it's one or the other lol

[quaint quail]

Nice, that's good to know, but I'll still probably include them in my --reset flag. Never know when the manifest breaks again.

[serene portal]

hello can someone tell me how to join on my own un-official server?when i trying to connect server says:IP for incoming account 0002736eae484f038ee42dba69046fee - IP(and my console ip) but i have black screen on the console

nevermind

i must wait soooo long

[low dew]

there is a fix for a server not updating i cant fully remember the full description of hte fix but it has somthing to do with deleting the appmanifest from the server files and running a update

[sage surge]

What's the map name for dedicated servers?

Is it Astraeos_WP?

[gentle sail]

We can't use asteros until there's an update. The server we rent just messaged us and said there needs to be some kind of update so idk

[west wigeon]

Not sure if y'all have asked this/found a solution, but checking to see if anyone knows how we go about getting Astraeos on Qonzer?

[fathom tinsel]

In a previous update deleting this file was the fix for the server not updating.
appmanifest_2430930.acf
ServerFiles/arkserver/steamapps/
ServerFiles/arkserver/

[low dew]

pretty sure it still is

[spice wyvern]

Does anyone have a spawn code for the maeguana?

[tacit marsh]

Yes

[errant fox]

Cheat GMSummon "Maelizard_Character_BP_C" 150

[spice wyvern]

Can you spawn it on any map or only Astraeos?

[errant fox]

Tested it just fine on The Center.

[spice wyvern]

1 more question (sorry for being a bother): do you have to buy the DLC to have the maeguana?

[errant fox]

Nah it's in the base game now.

[spice wyvern]

Nice! Thanks! Wanted to offer it to my cluster but didn’t want to get Astraeos

[errant fox]

Fair

[dreamy flicker]

I cant even seem to get steam to notice if files are missing from the install directory

[teal beacon]

Have they got their act together yet for the Mod version?

[gray prism]

If I hosted a nitrado server with premium mods I have purchased would others that join get access to them for free on that server without paying?

[gentle sail]

No everyone who wants to join the map has to buy it

[gray prism]

I see, thank you!

[valid needle]

So I know someone mentioned this but I can't find it. I have my own nitrado server and was play astreos before it was released. I wasn't gonna go to the new one just yet but when I get on it made me buy it, then I can't download it on xbox.. any suggestions

[lean anchor]

Any issues saying this host lost connection on a map when there's no network issue

[merry silo]

So I realized after much banging head against wall and then some great support from people here that crossplay Xbox-->SteamCMD is not available for ASE. Sooo started over, my son bought ASA for his Series S and now I can't get my server online. I am testing using api.steampowered... /ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress.... (can't paste the link here). This is what I used for my startup bat. Do I have issues here? ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName=ocelot?ServerPassword=password?ServerAdminPassword=password -MaxPlayers=10 -Port=7777 -QueryPort=27015 -crossplay

[dreamy flicker]

no they are fine

[tacit marsh]

Are you using a physical server or VM?

[merry silo]

physical, windows 11 Home

[celest halo]

ASA uses EOS not Steam for backend/match making you will never get a response using the steam api

[dreamy flicker]

@echo off
echo Authenticating with Steam...
cd /d "C:\steamcmd"
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

echo Starting the Ark Server...
cd /d "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64"
start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7774?QueryPort=22183

i use this as a bat file

@merry silo modify where required, are you running more than one server?

[merry silo]

No just one, and -crossplay isn't needed?

[dreamy flicker]

you have the normal steam app installed correct?

[merry silo]

I have both steam and steamcmd installed

[dreamy flicker]

okay cool, you can make this easier on yourself

install ark dedicated server in the actual steam app

[merry silo]

oh??

which uses less cpu/ram?

[dreamy flicker]

you can copy your save over to the install directory, still use a bat file to,launch the game with command line stuff

[dreamy flicker]

its pretty much the same but easier to update

in your steam library, you will likely have a drop down box that says games

click it, enable tools

[covert nymph]

Anyone know how to add time to a server with the new UI on nitrado for xbox?

[dreamy flicker]

in your games list you should have ark deedicated server

[merry silo]

do i have to be logged into an account that owns ark ascended though? My so bought it on his acct on xbox

[dusky zealot]

are Nitrado servers having as bad as a time as other server hosts?

[dreamy flicker]

I'm not certain, but i can see a lot of other servers that i dont own the game for in my list

[celest halo]

QueryPort is not used, listen is not used and ?Port should be -Port for ASA

[tacit marsh]

I use Ark Server Creation Tool. It's extremely easy.

[dreamy flicker]

works fine for me, i have a whole cluster up using it

[tacit marsh]

No need for that, the server doesn't own anything, it just runs the cluster.

[celest halo]

you lucky if ?Port works it dont for most on ASA

and things not used it just ignores

[dreamy flicker]

yea dunno what to tell you, search thedaysafter in password protected servers, they all up and running fine

[twilit wasp]

I'm looking for a pve cluster me and my friend can join were coming back to ark since ark evolved and don't have as much time and just wanna breed and do bosses and stuff

[celest halo]

yeah not used things dont keep it from starting it ignores them, the ?port works for some people, most need to use -port to get it to run on one they want it to and not default one

[tacit marsh]

Mine is Seas of Cheese. You're more than welcome to check it out.

[merry silo]

Can someone test this? I just started it with start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName=ocelot?ServerPassword=password?ServerAdminPassword=admin -Port=7777

[dreamy flicker]

what the server name? @merry silo

[celest halo]

ASA is also kind of smart if you dont have port in there at all it will try default and if its in use it will add one to it and try again lol

[twilit wasp]

What pop do you usually get?

[tacit marsh]

Did you open the ports on your router? There's a lot going on here lol

[merry silo]

yes, but i did not remove the 27015 udp

[merry silo]

ocelot

[dreamy flicker]

na im not seeing it

[wraith kayak]

anyone know the best way to save in game structures/ move/ restore/ etc ?

[tacit marsh]

Is there a firewall rule on your server for the port?

[celest halo]

its up and running

[tacit marsh]

Pop? It's called Coke where I'm from 😂

[twilit wasp]

Population, like how many people usually

[merry silo]

Cool- How did you check that?

[dreamy flicker]

@merry silo I gtg but good luck

[tacit marsh]

You can search for it on the Battlemetrics site

[oak glade]

I setup a server using asa dedicated manager. everyone is able to see it in the unofficial listing but only people on my local network are able to join. I have my rcon and server port setup in port forwarding. I feel like if those were the issue then it wouldn't show up in the server listing right?

[celest halo]

i got a custome made script to check EOS api 😂

[tacit marsh]

I think we have about 8 active players, several others who refresh bases, and some random people that join and stop playing by the number of beach shacks I see with expired timers.

[merry silo]

I wonder why it thinks i've been up 7 days lol and there is another Ocelot (mine is ocelot)

[terse goblet]

I need a recommendation. I have a purpose built server that I used to yes ASE dedicated servers on with the ASESM software. Now I'm trying to set up a ASA server but all of the server managers I've tried are confusing as heck. Anyone know a software that is simple enough to use, has properly labeled tabs, and isn't the one listed on the ark dedicated server wiki

[tacit marsh]

I don't know if it's listed on the wiki, but Ark Server Creation Tool has worked very well for me.

[quaint quail]

I made an installer for ASA, though unless you run Debian or Ubuntu won't do you much good. No experience with windows server environments, (windows + server just doesn't compute in my head)

[celest halo]

one i found is on day 11, and on older version, so needs an update to show ingame

[terse goblet]

It's basically a windows 11 os running on a lenovo thinkserver

[tacit marsh]

Omg I wish I would have come here when I was setting my cluster up. Ubuntu so lean

[merry silo]

I was running one yesterday for ASE trying to get crossplay to Xbox but no lck of course

[quaint quail]

yeah chuck, it works great; native support for systemd, starts automatically, restart on crashes automatically.

[celest halo]

"SESSIONNAME_s": "ocelot - (v59.32)" is one i found current version is v61.14

[merry silo]

oops, that reply was for this comment. So- As a total noob to running an asa server, should i let it run this way wit steamcmd, or run it through the regular steam app as dammdaniel was suggesting?

[quaint quail]

Working on adding support for a force reset script right now, (thanks to the issues I ran into with Extinction and Astraeos deployments...)

[celest halo]

thing they posted was steamcmd also

[merry silo]

Hmm, I don't see that version stuff- How would I upgrade? I just installed it today using the force install dir etc My ip is 35.133.153.202 and it says rank #61335

[celest halo]

run install command again, and make sure start script points to same dir you installed it too

[merry silo]

app_update 2430930 validate is what i used. Is it ok to run it again on top of the same dir?

[celest halo]

yeah thats how you update it

[merry silo]

Ctrl+C doesn't stop the asa serer, is there a correct way to stop it? or can i just close the shell?

[celest halo]

i normally do a doexit over rcon lol, but it should also work in the console window

[humble thicket]

can somebody help me understand: we have Astraeos mod map, we still have the map mod itself. if we now delete that mod, will we lose all the progress on the map?

[quaint quail]

Yes Jadwell; you need to move that over to another map save, scroll up through history for specifics.

[wraith kayak]

anyone know the best way to save in game structures/ move/ restore/ etc ?
which mod ?

[merry silo]

I just updated it and restarted- How can I see that version info you saw? I don't see that on batlemetrics

[celest halo]

its up to date now "SESSIONNAME_s": "ocelot - (v61.14)", battlemetrics dont show that i get it from EOS

[fallen jolt]

Does anyone know how to change a creature's spawn to be able to add the maeguana's?

[bronze smelt]

they are spawning just look around

i just found like 2 or 3 in 20 min

so they are kinda rare ...

[fallen jolt]

Nah, for add in other map

[merry silo]

Ah- (I don't know EOS) Any recommendations on "must have mods" for asa on Xbox series S that I should load on my shiny new server for my teen?

[bronze smelt]

ah idfk

[celest halo]

i play pc not sure what ones are S friendly

[gentle sail]

is there any info for a fix for unofficals who cant get their servers up?

[dreamy aurora]

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? My ASA server won't start and gets stuck in a "Ticking Loop" after displaying the number of CPU cores. It doesn't fully boot up, even if I wait for a whole day.

[quaint quail]

Are other maps working but just not Astraeos?

[gentle sail]

yep

all my other maps work not Astraeos

tried every form of "do this" that everyones been saying

[quaint quail]

Stop all game servers running, delete Engine/ directory and ShooterGame/(Binaries, Content, Plugins) (keep Saved; that's where your maps are). Re-run the steamcmd installation.

[gentle sail]

I dont know how to do all that. my partner tried that

[quaint quail]

Then not sure; that was the trick that worked for me. Otherwise common advice is check your -Port setting for the map and ensure the firewall is open for that port.

[gentle sail]

I dont know how to do that. this is my first time putting Asteros up and my first time running a server

[quaint quail]

ok, how did you install the server in the first place? Did you follow a guide talking about what steamcmd commands to run or did you use a server manager?

[gentle sail]

I rent the server through Auxilex

I would show you but this area doesnt allow that

[quaint quail]

I've never used them, but if they're a game host provider, they probably offer support in some form.

[gentle sail]

they said its a wildcard issue and that we basically are SOL until wildcard offers a patch for it as our map when trying to boot up just shuts back down

Astraeos is not working currently and the server hangs upon startup. It seems that Wildcard will need to release a patch in order for it to work properly.

is what we were told

[quaint quail]

well there's your answer. If you had system-level access to the VM, I can provide steps to assist you, but since you don't have that level of visiblity, you may just need to sit back and wait for the provider to fix it.

[restive heron]

Hey guys did anyone else’s servers randomly crash?

[gentle sail]

oof

[gentle sail]

thanks hun your amazing

[lime matrix]

I had this problem last night, took setting up the server on my win11 host instead of my win10 host. Had also tried deleting the server files except for the game.ini, gus and map files. For whatever reason it would not load the map on the win10 box but did on the win11 one despite the same settings and server file distributions ( literally copied the server files from the same folder to both boxes ). If I wasn't already bald would have pulled all my hair out from midnight last night. But it's running now at least. Only thing that changed really was the local IP address for multihome being on a different box as far as the configs are concerned. Threw me for a loop

Not sure if this is tied to the same bug affecting some clients not able to download mods under win10 or not

[gentle sail]

I dont have access to all that. I rent a server so I dont know what to do other then to sit up shits creek without a paddle

[lime matrix]

So you have a win10 vps?

[gentle sail]

no idea what that is lol

[lime matrix]

virtual private server, use remote desktop to manage thing in it

[gentle sail]

all I have access to is Logs, map name and mods for map and selecting map info

[lime matrix]

like having another machine but just remote

[gentle sail]

nope

[lime matrix]

Nitrado hosted?

[gentle sail]

no Auxilex

its a other host

[lime matrix]

Nitrado subcontracted?

[gentle sail]

not that I know of

[lime matrix]

bold of them then...

[gentle sail]

I dont know if it will allow me to send a link but this is it

my.auxilex.com/index. php

[drowsy vortex]

Hey before updates and patches i was good to go into my pve server, now i dc loop badly and im on steam. Is there anything i should do on my end or is it pure wildcatd bug

[maiden current]

Ive been having the issue with steam cloud not syncing and battleye tells me it blocked loading a file and idk how to fix that ive tried reverifying and restarting so many times

[quaint quail]

I was thinking the same thing. A number of providers, (myself included), offer dedicated game hosting, but we're offering just bare-metal or VPS accounts at the end of the day, which is far from stepping on their toes. Coming right out and advertising "ASA Game Hosting" is quite bold.

[lime matrix]

I know, there's a surprising number of them out there too. Game hosting came up on the reverence discord a day or so ago and once more there was another example doing the same thing.

[gentle sail]

lol I pay like 200$ for 9 maps

[quaint quail]

Yup, sounds about right.

[gentle sail]

but its 50 player slots and good amount of memory and CPU

[quaint quail]

Have you experienced any micro-lag issues with their offering? ie: when you go to build something and it takes a moment before it snaps in place?

[gentle sail]

no

surprisingly it has done REALLY well just this asteros thing gets on my dang nerves

[lime matrix]

I couldn't comment on what their backend is like to make a guess at the reason

Just know the grief I had to go through this morning on my own hardware

[gentle sail]

we had one issue of crashing but I had messed up a mod lol

[quaint quail]

Interesting. When we were running on Xeons we were getting that sort of microlag, (from what I heard from the community it was similar performance to that of Nitrado). Personally that was wholly unacceptable and we had to switch to AMD Ryzen processors.

[lime matrix]

Yeah, I run threadrippers for both my ark machines to ensure core saturation isn't an issue with high clock speeds

[gentle sail]

yeah I heard nitrado was hella expensive and I want to have all the story maps and extra. lol so I feel like the 200 a month for 9 maps with good memory cpu and 50 player slots wasnt a bad idea

[thorny abyss]

Hello, I am facing a problem. I cannot download the mods.

[quaint quail]

Exactly! Despite having 60-some threads available at the bare metal, the game not being threaded appropriately resulted in one thread just getting overwhelmed continuously.

[lime matrix]

Yep, learned that lesson early on when I started out. Used to run things off my old amd ryzen 7 relying on hyperthreading.....until i got in the habbit of watching the process monitor......ebay and a rack later.....much happier.

asa while a "little" better at spreading it out....now needs around 6? to run optimally...

If you have already deleted the two folders under the shootergame directory for mods and moduserdata, downloaded the curseforge desktop app, flushed your dns resolver cache or reset your winsock network....there's not currently a known fix.

[thorny abyss]

I deleted the game and downloaded it again and the problem still exists

[lime matrix]

This is also known to not fix it, you on win10?

[thorny abyss]

yes win10

should i change it to win11 ?

[bleak ivy]

unlikely to be the issue lol.

This one is running 10 ASA maps, all the officials save for Astreos which is on the other 32 core win11 box and a few mod maps.

[lime matrix]

You can setup a VM and install ark to it under win 11 and download the mods that way. We don't know what the issue is yet that's causing it.

[quaint quail]

Impressive, those 4.3GHz threadrippers really are a beast!

[lime matrix]

That they are, it's why I like em so much. Had considdered epyc but liked the higher clock speeds

[quaint quail]

Are you running any virtualization under the game servers or are they sitting on bare metal?

[lime matrix]

bare metal

[teal beacon]

Have they fixed the mod version yet?

[quaint quail]

Yeah, you need the higher clock rate for this game, though the 128 threads are just a tad overkill.

oh wow.... looking at that data, that single chip is actually wired as two discrete CPUs! (note the NUMA nodes)

[lime matrix]

lol, well I keep the threads separated 1 per core using process lasso to ensure I don't get anything waiting on latency

But that's just me being a bit ocd

[thorny abyss]

Ok thank you very much

[lime matrix]

Yeah the higher core count cpus are built that way with a bridge between them

Though, my 32 core chip is a single node

[quaint quail]

well that explains the crazy thread count. Am I right in my assumption that the single chip supports 3TB of system memory too?

[lime matrix]

I think the threadripper architecture that isn't the WS model is only 256gb, but that might just be limited by the board. I'd have to look at the full spec sheet

I know Asrock had a server board specifically for the TR chips

"This MPU supports up to 256 GiB of quad-channel DDR4-3200 memory." So sayeth wikichip

[quaint quail]

ASRock is where it's at, with their built-in IPMI. And that's sad, but understandable. I think my Xeon boards max out at 768GB per CPU, (x2 cpus per chassis)

[gentle sail]

@lime matrix am I able to pm you with screen shots and see if I can get help with this since server side is doing me in

[lime matrix]

Ram is going to be my biggest bottleneck for sure but split between the two systems should cover that. Got the two machines clustered together this morning over a 10Gb network link

[lime matrix]

Should be able to dm me some

Think I have that enabled

[quaint quail]

Have fun with that support, I'm going back to deciding how I want to enable mod ID management in this script so I don't have to keep going into a half-dozen service files to manually swap out mods everytime WC has a new event.

[lime matrix]

Lol, Yeah, I just left a blank box at the top of Uaca's managment tool. That seems to do the trick

[stark sparrow]

Hey everyone, trying to make a dedi on ASE (ms store variant). My ini doesn't seem to be working at all, the in game settings are all good, but custom stacks for prime meat and stuff, custom spawns and auto unlock engrams are not working, does anyone know how I can fix this? As far as I know all the commands are correct (used the wiki for most and the auto engrams come from a pastebin that I found on a reddit post).

[teal beacon]

So is the mod version even get fixed? Or what’s the go there

[quaint quail]

I would suspect that is up to the original mod author, but seeing that ownership of that mod got transferred to WC, (or however that worked), I doubt the original author will be continuing work on it. I may be entirely wrong though, I dunno. Just my uninformed speculation.

[teal beacon]

Mod authors said it’s up to wild to fix and to be patient. But I haven’t heard a single thing from wildcard in relation to it. So I can only guess they just don’t care.

[quaint quail]

Seeing that the mod and the DLC are two separate code bases, I doubt they'll backport anything back to Curseforge.

[teal beacon]

Leaving the mod version still down and unusable

[quaint quail]

Yup; that's pretty common for projects that get forked. (Not always, but that's certainly the more common result)

[shy marsh]

Has any figured out how to get the new map to work if your on the PC but using Xbox game pass to access it? It’s still saying that I don’t own the map but when I select the option to buy the map it’s telling me I already own it. I’m trying to just do a solo map.

[loud hawk]

Just curious how many people bought the DLC because the mod stopped working?

[spice wyvern]

Is there coding to be able to put a teleporter on a boat?

[fading ferry]

why is every wild dino hitting me for thousands of damage

[hollow robin]

ok i have a question i am converting my astraeos server over to the non mod version so if i do this will this wipe my server and all player stuff or is is as simple as just load the new map and take the astraeos map mod off

[spice wyvern]

Cuz your damage settings are wrong

[spice wyvern]

If you go by how other mods work, I would assume it’s going to wipe everything

[fading ferry]

how and where

Hey everyone, trying to make a dedi on ASE (ms store variant). My ini doesn't seem to be working at all, the in game settings are all good, but custom stacks for prime meat and stuff, custom spawns and auto unlock engrams are not working, does anyone know how I can fix this? As far as I know all the commands are correct (used the wiki for most and the auto engrams come from a pastebin that I found on a reddit post). Pasting again, because it didn't get any response, not trying to be annoying just want some help.

[glacial creek]

anyone else server transfer broken?

[unique edge]

Yo anyone wanna play ark?

Like deleting the charakter or stuck in download by transfer to or off Astraeos ?

[wraith kayak]

anyone know the best structure saver mod for ASA ?

you know to save buildings, restore etc copy n paste

[dapper oar]

Hello, I bought the DLC in the Microsoft Store on PC, but when I enter the servers it tells me that I should buy it, does anyone know how to fix it?

[dawn plinth]

im trying to setup the Astraeos map but it doesnt seem to load? name is Astraeos_WP right?

did a complete redownload (even used my steam account with paid DLC)
it just loads instantly, but then stuck on ticking loop and doesnt load map, tried other maps and shows loaded..

[pseudo shadow]

hey i need a bit of help.
I am playing Fjordur with a couple of my friend we just got an argy and i was going to tame an ankylosaurus but when i went and found one i wasn't able to pick it up with the argentavis

Hosting a dedicated server on windows 10 using ASADedicatedManager and it feels like my dinos are gaining very little stats when I spend my level up points. I'm use to official server settings but this feels way lower. I don't see any options in the manager or ini files that would help. Am I missing something?

[last magnet]

[this is the setting (https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier) Default is official, I have mine boosted a touch. like 3x defaults

it goes into the game.ini file

actually it's like 5x

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0]=1 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8]=1 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[9]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[0]=1 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[8]=1 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[0]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[1]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[7]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[8]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Affinity[9]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[0]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[1]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[2]=3 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[7]=3 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[8]=5 PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[9]=3

the ones without entries are defaults

the link above should have for which stats are which. I use beacon so it's more user friendly to build the ini

and I think the stats editor is one of the free ones but I don't rcall exactly since I paid for the Omni license

[glacial creek]

i figured it out..
when i switched my Astraeos saved file to the new saved folder for the dlc upon joing the server it timed out not noticing at the top of screen in red letters said the server already had a char uploaded to the cloud, so i rejoined Astraeos not through transfer, got that char downloaded, logged out back to the server i was in, and transfer to astraeos, and of course it says theres a char on the server already "overwrite" and yes. thats how to fix that error.. wierd, but atleast Astraeos saved file is running now 🙂

[glacial creek]

i fired up beacon lastnight to get the code for the love ascended stuff n things, and well upon adding them to the ark shop config they donot do anything when go to buy them 😦 just the love bug love bird and the lovely fishing rod

[robust cipher]

Odd issue, i cant seem to be able to passive tame any dino's, we tried disabling all mods but the prompt to feed isnt there ( Ovis and sweet cake is in my hotbar 0)
Dino Food drain is default 1
New Nitrado server, Astraeos map

[viral bone]

Question: Are the love evolved colors automatically applied with the mod? Or do I have to use a command?

[somber arrow]

automatically

[remote zephyr]

It affects unofficials too, for me especially for Xbox clients. it has been a problem since the update with extinction launch. I have submitted a bug, tried many troubleshooting steps and nothing. I would love to see it acknowledged. We have servers that for all intents and purposes are single threaded to Xbox clients for 2 months now.

first client can join, whoever the next client is gets connection timeout failures. it is so repeatable

[viscid holly]

anyone know the summon command for the supply drops on astraeos?

[sharp wren]

Developers, why don't they work under the mountain and in similar places on the Astraeos map

[foggy plinth]

What is the map name for Astreos?

Is it the name and then _WP?

[glacial creek]

yes..
and if your wanting to use your already saved ark file there will be 2 folders now, one named just astraeos and one named Astraeos_WP put your old save into the new folder to make it work.

[worthy rapids]

Is there a way to make the Maeguana spawn on the island for example? A mod or some other means?

[foggy plinth]

Need help pls

I start my .bat file and it closes? Can this be bc of a wrong server name?

I found my mistake xD

[languid plank]

So I'm trying to run my multiple servers at once right now, and we keep getting a connection time out when joining, any thoughts? It worked when I just had 2 servers going but now I have 5

[jaunty vortex]

all on separate ports? All ports forwarded and allowed through firewall?

[remote zephyr]

same, we run 8, all worked fine till extinction release. it appears the first person on is usually OK, the next player trying to connect is a timeout everytime.

we used to be able to still have multiple concurrent players on older maps, but now even that is dicey

it's been 2 months, most of our family has just moved on to other games. it's way to frustrating to keep trying

[quick nebula]

Hello all I'm setting up a single player game on ASE and asked ChatGPT something and got some code for game.ini I've never seen before is this real? I like the idea of losing XP on death so I wanted to check with the Discord to see if this was real or not since not everything ChatGPT has told me is 100% true ever
XPPerLevel=1.0
PlayerXPLossOnDeath=2.0

[bleak ivy]

that is not no. hardcore mode makes you go back to level 1 tho.

[wise grove]

Hey All, I'm running my own PVE server on ASE..looking for new players to join on Crystal Isles... boosted xp and resource rate along with taming rate. Message me for more details

[quick nebula]

shouldn't you do that in the Recruitment channel not the help channel?

[tawny loom]

my nitrado server keeps shutting down automatically before it even shows up in the mod list. i havent had any issues since astraeos launched until now. is this a known issue?

[languid plank]

i forgot to that, thanks for the advice

[left agate]

I can only see 30 unofficial pvp servers currently is there a problem right now? Or is it on my end? This is on ps5

[low dew]

@tawny loom donno you will have to ask nitrado 90% of the people here do not use nitrado

[tawny loom]

yeah, i already put in a ticket. i asked in general chat and they sent me here. figured it was worth asking. thanks though

[low dew]

@tawny loom good luck with nitrado you will need it

[gritty flare]

Does anyone know why I can’t use custom cosmetics on my servers? I am running the servers on my own hardware if that matters. The built in cosmetics work but the downloadable ones can’t be applied.

[lusty hearth]

whats the best free way to make a dedicated server with mods to play on crossplay?

[dreamy flicker]

host it yourself

[lusty hearth]

i know

im saying how

[bleak ivy]

its either self-host or nitrado. you can also rent the hardware

[lusty hearth]

ive tried asct and astd manager they both didnt work

[bleak ivy]

there is a video guide in the pins or the text guide on the wiki. https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

[lusty hearth]

ty

[bleak ivy]

do it manually. using a manager causes issues.

[lusty hearth]

ok gotcha

[dreamy flicker]

install ark server from steam,

save this as a bat file to start the server, edit where needed

@echo off
echo Authenticating with Steam...
cd /d "C:\steamcmd"
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

echo Starting the Ark Server...
cd /d "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64"
start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=7774?QueryPort=22183 -clusterid=name -ClusterDirOverride="G:\ARKASAClusterdata" -mods=

[lusty hearth]

ok tyvm

ill let you know if i got it

[dreamy flicker]

i run a full private cluster using this, for one server this will do fine

[lusty hearth]

gotcha ty

do you think i can run the asa dedicated tool with my mac?

[dreamy flicker]

oh no clue

[bleak ivy]

probably not. its windows only

[lusty hearth]

ah ok

[vague cradle]

any of you been getting a lot of server out of memory issues after the latest updates? plenty of ram and assigned memory to the servers just seems more of a code memory issue for shootergames.exe and not hardware

[distant hearth]

this is kinda funny, its wrong

[distant hearth]

you wud need some sort of windows emulator for the mac, i dont even know if that exists, prob does

[low dew]

@lusty hearth use windows gsm not all managers cause problems bit of mis information trying to write a bat file then trouble shooting if your not fimiliar with doing bats will cause you more headachs

ew mac

good luck with your fruit computer

XD windows gsm might actually still work on it though

[distant hearth]

if windows gsm is working fine, then thats prob the easiest way, i still prefer a simple bat file tbh

[low dew]

im lazy windows gsm does everything for me automatically from restarting to updating to updating mods when required

virtually hands off

[lusty hearth]

do i do windows gsm then?

[distant hearth]

i dont like asa to update auto lol

besides i use a very very simple bat file

[low dew]

i do because i have a pretty agressive backup system that backs it up so if wildcard botches a update no time loss really

[lusty hearth]

oh your saying i can run windows gsm on mac?

[low dew]

i never said that i said it might still run you would have to go to there website and look

[lusty hearth]

oh

[low dew]

and see if mac is compatible

[lusty hearth]

my fault

yea its windows only

ill try it to make a server

[distant hearth]

its a windows file, you will need some sort of emulator or virtual system running windows on the mac

[lusty hearth]

ah ok

[distant hearth]

prob also have manually forward the game port through the mac, but all that info will be on google if it is possible

[lusty hearth]

thats too much work for me lol

[low dew]

i think mac is gonna cause you the most greif then anything else

[lusty hearth]

yea

it doesnt show asa is support for game server

[low dew]

how many servers are you looking to run

[lusty hearth]

one

me and my friends

[quaint raven]

Did anyone give you response? I've been trying to find one as well

[lusty hearth]

i will use the .bat way then

[distant hearth]

custom cosmetics are a pain in the fucking arse tbh ,
u either or use the offiical white list or do a load of learning on how to whitelist your own (not simple or straight forward)

[humble thicket]

Heyi have a private server and i have been trying to edit the ini file for tamed dino weight eveyone or anything i watch says its the number 7 for weight but it always changes food can anyone help with this to what number is actuall controlling the weight in that ini file?

[distant hearth]

7 is weight, see here for more info ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PlayerBaseStatMultipliers
i.e tame dino weight x 10 per levl added wud be this in game.ini iirc ,
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed_Add[7]=10

[low dew]

@humble thicket and those settings need to go into the game.ini

[humble thicket]

7 made the food go up not the weight

[distant hearth]

4 is food

check for dupe lines, if u use any weird mods i gues sthey cud mess with it , thats unknown territory

[humble thicket]

i get that pbut i changed 7 and it made the food go up lol

k ty

[distant hearth]

7 has been weight for like a dozen years , it hasnt changed , unless a mod can mess with it( i only use like half dozen mods as many are still too buggy for asa imho ) the game it self has more bugs than the jungle

[humble thicket]

kk ty guys

[lofty cedar]

whats astreaos mod id for isntal

[low dew]

dont think its a mod anymore

[distant hearth]

it changed to a dlc map

[low dew]

i think its a over priced dlc map

[lofty cedar]

yeah trying to install dont i need a map number for mod spot?

[distant hearth]

not sure if u can still get the incomplete free version as mod, prob can, any mod id can be found on cursefoge website, they just call it a project id to complicate things

[lofty cedar]

oh i know that more trying to install on my cluster so trying to make sure it starts as right map

[distant hearth]

i didnt think it was a bad price tbh, the reskinned maewing is a clear money grab from official users though lol
edit- plus the rushed release, i bet when its done its well worth the money, but as a half finnished map i guess its speculative if asa lasts another couple years

[distant hearth]

you shud just be able change the map name if server is running latest version

[lofty cedar]

sweet thanks couldnt remember that part

[humble thicket]

anyone have a good ini for tamed animals with a good weight because no matter what i do i cant get the weight to go up at all!

[lusty hearth]

for the start server i have the right command argument but wont start

[distant hearth]

what are you trying to achieve , weight per level added in weight stat point, increased weight on taming? increased weight from wild ? theres many ways its done ,
this is the way to add 100 weight i think it it per level upgraded in dino weight
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=10
it needs to be put in game.ini, under the header thats already there, [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] with the server switched off

Check first if the line is already there, if it is change the number . duplicates lines are headaches, always check first !!!!

[distant hearth]

what is the right command argument?

[lusty hearth]

ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?SessionName=<server_name>?ServerPassword=<join_password>?Port=<port>?QueryPort=<query_port>?MaxPlayers=<max_players>?ServerAdminPassword=<admin_password>

that shud start an ark evolved server if run from the same location as the .exe is installed

[humble thicket]

thats what i have

[lusty hearth]

oh

[distant hearth]

thats just pulled from a single player file? your editing a server or single player game?

[humble thicket]

server

on nitrado

[distant hearth]

stop server , wait 5 mins, delete all that ,
then just have this line under the header (plus your other stuff if edited)
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=10
save it, wait a few minutes, restart server, shud be good

[humble thicket]

k

ty W1llz

[distant hearth]

you have aload single player settings , they shud work but idk what else is in your ini , if you have say busesingleplayer=true , it prob overrides any changes

[humble thicket]

kk

[distant hearth]

anything with , =0.999989986 is essentially 1
the servers default to =1 , so u dont need to add the lines

[lusty hearth]

it doesnt work i put it in win64
