[pseudo kernel]

oh, i see

[gray spire]

The ini line I got was to override the official whitelist, but shouldn't mods that are on the whitelist be usable by default without me having to do anything to the ini? The Astreos armor skins are working fine, it's only the Astraeos structure skins I'm having an issue with.

[gloomy cloak]

How do I play astraeos on single player when I bought it and it tells me I don't own it

[bleak ivy]

no, you have to add everything. the official whitelist gets overrode when you use your own.
the entire things is to allow unofficials to choose which ones can be used. it'd be dumb if all the ones on officials are forced

[bleak ivy]

make sure you are putting the structure skin on the placeholder item. or an empty spot in the inventory. they don't go on structures and most can't go directly on the hotbar.

[keen bough]

it took one of the dev's for ASCT to actually help to figure out the issue... Ark Server Creation Tool randomly decided to jump 15 ports... the default Query port for Ark Ascended is 27015 it shifted and is now trying to listen on 27030... such an confusing issue the Dev wanted to see the json file to see what glitched...

[elder hill]

I'm trying to get my save from my Nitrado server and I've got myself a PC to run the server.

I downloaded all files from Nitrado via FTP
I imported them into my PC's server and my character saves are gone?

How can I start the server with a back up? So that all my saves are there (I had the save for the map with bases etc just not player data.

[keen bough]

you are going to want to look in your saved ark folder for a 32 Character file with .arkprofile and .arktributetribe those are your character and upload character files

the files will have matching number/letters ending in .arkprofile and .arktributetribe

an example E:\ARK Ascended\ARK_SA-Island\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks\TheIsland_WP

though I am not sure how Nitrado file formats are layed out

[elder hill]

The .arkprofile etc are in there. As I said I downloaded the entire "ShooterGame" folder from Nitrado. So those would be there an it don't work for some reason, it worked fine when I was transferring Nitrado to Nitrado. So maybe they gave weird file directories?

[hollow robin]

is anybody having issues where the loading screen is just crashing and when joining servers it gives this warning that cant load

[empty vale]

just started a server on ASE on Nitrado but it wont show me my server on the list and i cant join from steam IP either

[waxen stirrup]

How do you use modded maps on it? i downloaded amissa, put it in the mod folder thing, changed to custom map, amissa_WP and it still wont show up (i also hVw the map downloaded on my xbox

[forest furnace]

is there a way to allow maeguana to spawn on any maps not just astraeos ?

[obtuse dome]

On our server all ASR structures take a heavy burden on the frames and load for ages. Only since recent update from some hours ago... anybody got a clue. Troubleshooting is ongoing mod cache emptied still same bs 😅

[void oyster]

Your product twist has started to load the processor very heavily and not use the graphics card!

[celest halo]

Patch notes said he changed all the glass, so it might be it loading/switching the new glass looks

[obtuse dome]

Thank you we shall try to change the glass. It does looks messed up

[hardy marten]

there is a "maeguana spawn everywhere" mod just install that

[hardy marten]

make sure A is capital in Amissa_WP

@waxen stirrup also you need to add the maps mod ID to the servers mod list

[distant hearth]

the nitrado server might of been running the alternate save method, if thats the case, u also need to run that on the server ure switching too

[jaunty vortex]

Nitrado official do. Is it reasonable to assume the rented ones do too?

[distant hearth]

its all mixed atm, some servers run it some dont, the impression i got was they switched to a home machine so.... assume they arent i guess

[jaunty vortex]

Yes, but if they have a save file from Nitrado unofficial is it not likely to use the same save method as the official ones.? As you suggested.

[distant hearth]

yea some nitrado servers are using it , i not 100% sure on this but i believe any server rented after extinction released with that note about -usestore in the patch notes, from nitrado is using it

[jaunty vortex]

I’m guess they may not have gone back and converted old ones?

If I were Nitrado I’d want all my servers working the same way.

[distant hearth]

yea i wud thought so too, but last time i was helping someone about month ago , they didnt have any .arkprofile on a nitrado server so it had to be running -usestore when they tried to switch to work

yet older nitrado servers still have the .arkprofiles

[jaunty vortex]

They may still exist after a conversion? Pretty sure mine did when I converted my Island server. They just never updated and eventually I got brave enough to move them out of SavedArks and restarted the server 😂

[distant hearth]

yea thats true, but then it shud of load the old outdated .arkprofiles right? if -usestore is not used, justy guessing here tbh, me an you prob been on usestore the longest

never had an issue but i will say i havent played ark much in the last 6 months

[jaunty vortex]

Yeah I think I must be on about 10-11 months now.

[distant hearth]

about that i shud think , anyhow its an issue thing for them to test i guess, add the command , if it works all good

[humble thicket]

How can I setup a dedicated modded server to play through lan (radmin vpn) on ark survival evolved? I'm trying to host and play on the same device

[elder hill]

I stopped the server waited a few before downloading it, what is it i need to run sorry im a newbie at this haha

[distant hearth]

it depends how u start the server tbh, but it is a server start command argument, -usestore

[elder hill]

I've just got a bat running this;

@echo off
start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?listen?MultiHome=MYIP?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20?AllowCrateSpawnsOnTopOfStructures=True -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -EnableIdlePlayerKick -ServerPlatform=ALL -mods=1015955,1122696,935399,948965,929420 -nosteamclient -game -server -log -MinimumTimeBetweenInventoryRetrieval=3600

[humble thicket]

Help please

[distant hearth]

ive seen that before recently ,
you the guy that has it on windows server edition and had to install the certs?

[elder hill]

nah

ive got all certs done etc

[distant hearth]

its all kinds of crazy wrong, where did you get it from ~?

[elder hill]

youtube video 😄

[distant hearth]

figures lol , i will give you a correct one , thats clean
then one with the added command so u can see how it shud be

[elder hill]

appreciate you

i got the pc handed to me so i thought fk it ark server for it 😄

ive got 64gb ram in my main pc but cant run a server off it an still play

[distant hearth]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?sessionname="<insertservername>" -port=7777 -winlivemaxplayers=20 -mods=1015955,1122696,935399,948965,929420

then to test if the nitrado used alternate save we add space,dash usestore command so you get
start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?SessionName="<insertservername>" -Port=7777 -Winlivemaxplayers=20 -mods=1015955,1122696,935399,948965,929420 -UseStore

stop server before making any changes , save changes, then restart it .

How were you naming the server before? just doing it in the ini file?

[distant hearth]

i run a server and play from a older machine with 32gb ddr4 ram, but i do play in 1080p so its not like theres much stress on the cpu an ram tbh

[elder hill]

ini file mate yeah

[elder hill]

oh? i thought cause in game when you hit start dedi it doesnt let you play, i might have a go at that too once ive sorted this

[distant hearth]

you can continue doing it that way if u want just i prefer it in batch file tbh . what ever suits you , just remove the command for the session name,
the server has two types of command,
?command and, -command.
question commands must always be first and in one string, i.e ?command?command?command
dash commands must be after ?command and have a space between , ie ?command -command -command -command

i also forgot to add your mods to the example batch files above , will edit them now for you , so can see

[elder hill]

Yeah so now got it like this?

@echo off
start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?SessionName=2LXCKYY Test Server -Port=7777 -Winlivemaxplayers=20 -UseStore -ServerPlatform=ALL -mods=1015955,1122696,935399,948965,929420

[celest halo]

That session name has spaces in it so it should be in quotes

[distant hearth]

i gave u it correct yet you still want to change it lol,
@echo off isnt doing fuck all ,
-serverplatform=all isnt needed they default to it
as stolen said above quotes needed if server name has space
start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?SessionName="2LXCKYY Test Server" -Port=7777 -Winlivemaxplayers=20 -UseStore -mods=1015955,1122696,935399,948965,929420

[shell finch]

5888 pve EU server does not work as usual problem because the creators of the game only take money and do nothing with it

[distant hearth]

problem u seem to have issue reading, this "UnOfficial"

[elder hill]

Ohh my bad

[errant tiger]

Hey yall Ive got a server that wont show up in the list even though it's running, any help?
I've tried restarting it and renaming it to something else but it still wont show up

[jaunty vortex]

most likely your filters. Is it showing in Battlemetrics?

[distant hearth]

if its deffo working fine( confirm by joining with open <ipadress> :<port> command , or join from another server in the cluster), isnt much can be done

[errant tiger]

The server is running and I can join it through the open command (I was trying to find out what command that was so thank you)
I tried every combination of filters possible by now I think (show player servers checked/unchecked, pc only checked/unchecked, in unofficial tab, etc.)

[lime matrix]

It's probably epic's matchmaking service doing weird stuff. Only server that shows up for me on my cluster today was Astraeos. But, as you said direct join works so it's a dns issue

And everything else is also only Astraeos maps....

So eh....

[errant tiger]

Definitely check your map filter at the top if only Astraeos maps are showing up 👍 I had to check that too when I was first tryna solve my issue

[tepid berry]

wildcard really needs to make -usestore default.

[brisk topaz]

Anyone can help to make a specific dino spawn please?

[lapis pine]

Is there a command we can put in our cluster INI that will remove fog and clouds permanently for everyone?

I know about the r.volumetric fog 0 commands to do it individually per player

But can we make it so it’s always off for everyone and if they want it on they can turn it on like we all turn it off?

[split tendon]

I am trying to install mods on my server the server is running on a dedicated server and works without mods with no problems the moment I start up the server I can see the following yellow teks in command promp: Couldn't load mods library from disk I have add the mods to my GameUserSettings.ini under the [ServerSettings] section as followed ActiveMods=929868,938805,953154,939055, but for some reason the server cant see them and install them also tryed add it to my start-up file same result can someone help me with this problem?

[elder hill]

@distant hearth server works perfectly mate thank you

[steel acorn]

hello guys

can someone send me eternal documention plz

[tacit marsh]

This would be amazing

[brisk topaz]

Can we allowed or disallowed a specific dino on Aberration?

[lucid solstice]

Asa doesn't use that iirc. You need to put -mods=... In the command in The batch file

[half dome]

I'm not sure this is the correct place to ask. I'm trying to add a custom drop to Natrix's Supply Drop from a mod. Pretty much just trying to add in some more tek options while only playing on Astraeos. The mod is Boss Unlockers, and Beacon gave me this code but it does not seem to be working. Any tips?

There's a few more but they are all the same other than from different bosses.

[odd rover]

Are unofficial servers still getting extremely high ping rn?

[hybrid night]

Is anyone else having problems increasing dino count on their server? i've tried DinoCountMultiplier and DinoSpawnWeightModifiers but neither work anymore. They did when I last played on Centre. But no longer.

[quasi turtle]

I’m in a unofficial server and I’m having no lag whatsoever so ever

Or high ping

[frosty dune]

You’re not alone. We have had pings into the 500s and have a very difficult time connecting. This last patch broke something.

[wise kindle]

Its random spikes mainly. Upwards of 600+ that dc you. Then its fine again.

[humble thicket]

Can I use the same GameUserSettings from my non dedicated server in my dedicated server?

[jaunty vortex]

Yes, should work.

[shadow oak]

how do i play vitality servers ase ???

[wise kindle]

Whats a vitality server?

[shadow oak]

duo

[wise kindle]

No idea. I guess you find one and join it? Maybe via advertisements?

[shadow oak]

no the youtuber vitality server

[wise kindle]

Did you ask in his discord?

No one knows who this is btw.

[brisk topaz]

Can we allow or disallow a specific dino on ab?

[last magnet]

do you just want thm to not spawn or not be able to be transferred?

bc it's easy to make them not spawn, but you can't specify certain dinos for transfer

[brisk topaz]

So i can't 😭

[manic reef]

Is anyone having trouble joining astraeos or forglar every time I try to join it kicks me to the home on Xbox

[lapis quest]

Can anyone confirm if it's safe to remove the event mod?

[last magnet]

yeah sorry, it's how they do the transfer settings.

[elder hill]

Any server owners having issues with Xbox Cloud people connecting to your servers?

[brisk topaz]

Thank you!

+app_update 2430930 validate +quit

Would I use this to update the server/mods? or would mods be seperate for update

[stuck leaf]

so im hosting a server for me and a few friends (hosted on my server machine)
i used to run it before fine, havent touched it in months, so deceided to wipe it and reuse, so i went to savearks and just deleted it all made a few changes and started, now there's an issue where structures cant be placed, stone just does nothing, but weirdly if i place a tek found it turns into a fence support and when i place tek triangle it turns into stone triangle how do i fix this? i have a few mods (pull it!, explorer notes tracker wip, dear jane, dino+, ez engram unlocker, arkomatic, solo farm mod, super spyglass plus)

[celest halo]

Server only, with ASA it updates mods on every server start

[elder hill]

noted thanks

[wise kindle]

Reinstall your mods.

[stuck leaf]

so just remove all turn on add all turn on?

[wise kindle]

I dont think thats how Steam works.
Just remove them and join the map.

The issue is your client.

[stuck leaf]

yes, but i mean they can be added back to the server if it fixes it?

[wise kindle]

The issue is your client.

[stuck leaf]

its everyone on the server so i doubt that

[wise kindle]

Remove your mods and let your server reinstall them when you join.

[wise kindle]

Ok you didnt say that,

Are you selfhost or Nitrado?

[stuck leaf]

self hosted on my server dl360

[wise kindle]

Ah ok well you will have to wait to hear from a selfhost guy then. I dont know how to fix that.

[stuck leaf]

i removed all mods from the server and still cant build so it seems it must be a base ark issue

[mighty thorn]

knows anybody the setting for 9-10min 100% Imprint?

[austere needle]

good day to all ... anyone else noticed an wierd bug on clubark ? we are no longer able to start duck duck jump (server freezed and wont response to rcon)

[split tendon]

After editing my batch file still no mods it just doesnt see them

This is my bathc file now:
start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?SessionName="Jimmys Ark 10x"?-Port=7777?-winlivemaxplayers=20?-mods=929868,938805

Still says this in the command line:
Couldn't load mods library from disk

[tender forge]

Question, does changing the auto world save time effect performance of the server? From default 15 to 30?

[split tendon]

If the specs of the server are not that good. It will only cause problems when it is saving. If i am sure you can change how many saves it keeps.

[distant hearth]

you need a space in the dash commands

also why are u doing - and ? lol

[split tendon]

Changed it still not working 😛 It is now:
start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?SessionName="Jimmys Ark 10x"?Port=7777?winlivemaxplayers=20? -mods=929868,938805

[distant hearth]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?SessionName="Jimmys Ark 10x" -Port=7777 -winlivemaxplayers=20 -mods=929868,938805

the server has two types of command,
?command and, -command.
question commands must always be first and in one string, i.e
?command?command?command

dash commands must be after ?command and have a space between , ie
?command -command -command -command

[split tendon]

oooh oaky now I get it idk it says the same on top of the wiki page i just did't understand

[distant hearth]

no problem, if you still get the same error its a connection issue , i only ever see that error if the server cant connect to internet

[split tendon]

It is working now I Tryed to add one more Mod got the error right away: failed to install not all the mods installed.if you have any custom cosmetics in the mods list please remove them custom cosmetics are not support for direct server installation mod ids not installed: 1064809

[distant hearth]

cosmetic mods are never installed server side, client only, check your mod list an make sure there arent any cosmetic ones in the list

[stuck leaf]

Does anyone know why nobody can place structures on my server? Both modded and unmodded

[split tendon]

What map and everywhere or just a few spots ?

[stuck leaf]

everywhere for everyone and island

when i go i place tek it places stone, stone doesnt place, wood turns into tek ,metal into wood

[broken halo]

Sounds corrupted possibly sad to say it may need to be wiped

I seem to recall having a similar issue early on after launch

[waxen stirrup]

how do you give yourself adminstrator in game?

[stuck leaf]

the thing is, its an old server i've not touched in a while, so i had just deleted the savedarks file, should i still delete and retry?

[distant hearth]

if youre after a fresh start theres no harm in jusr deleting the entire server files an reinstalling

[broken halo]

I believe I had to start full fresh it's been a year so can't remember fully the details

[distant hearth]

its not an issue i ever heard of before tbh , some sort weird corruption it wud seem

[stuck leaf]

also another thing, i just made a 2nd server to test that and see if its was a config issue or not, and when i try join se its routing me to island, the servers are in seperate files with different ports and forwarded right, but it doesn't seem to put me on se

i had a cluster before and that was fine, but getting so many issues now

[waxen stirrup]

whats the command you run to give yourself admin and like be able to use cheat commands? like how do you give yourself access

[distant hearth]

enablecheats <adminpassowrd>

[waxen stirrup]

tysm, any caps?

cus i relised that capital letters matter with ark lol

[distant hearth]

depends on the admin password, command it self doesnt care

[broken halo]

Asking Google would have been faster honestly

[waxen stirrup]

okay ty

[distant hearth]

most of the time ark doesnt actually care about upper or lower case, pnly if its in names or passowrds iirc

[stuck leaf]

and if i close island and try join scorched i just get connection timeout

[broken halo]

What are you using to launch is it a bat file or a UI like Asm or Gsm

[stuck leaf]

its running on my server a dl360 so my os is unraid and ark is running from a docker container

within unraid

[broken halo]

That seems like they are sharing a port and something isn't forwarded right but I'm no expert

Is it OK if I dm you

[stuck leaf]

sure

[weary lichen]

Hello everyone. Please tell me how I can write to the admins on the server?

[low dew]

@weary lichen huh

😧

[broken halo]

Are you asking for the white-list admins lines

Search the wiki sorry I don't know it off hand

[waxen robin]

is there a way to enable only the official DLC skins on the clusters? I have everything disabled currently but would like to enable the power ranger skins

[lavish gulch]

so. with the nitrado server transfer from LA to FL am i still able to restart my server if its not up? thanks in advance

our server went mia after the restart thast why im asking

[elder hill]

@waxen stirrup Xbox specific just make sure you do numbers only or all lower case.

Xbox chat/text filtering sometimes fks you over an doesn't let you put a capital letter it's annoying af

[peak coyote]

I have flyer speed leveling enabled and I can level up the speed stat on my birds, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference in flight speed. I boosted the per level stat multiplier to 500000 just for fun to see if birb go zoom. But its still only slightly faster than usual? is there a movement speed cap?

[stark sparrow]

Is there a way to auto unlock all tek on rag boss kill? Xb1/ms store ASE.

[hasty valley]

To host Astraeos DLC on a cluster do you need to have purchased it? I'm attempting to start the server and it's not getting to the "Started and advertising" log. It's just startup took 6.x seconds.... and hangs there. No mods loading.

hi. I want a wasteland wall skin but i don't find it ... i have Bob's Tales ... anyone have command for spawn ?

[polar igloo]

Press V or I to open that menu, then go to cosmetics, third one on the line of Inventory and crafting

[spare raft]

I see it clearly, but I can't craft it even in gcm

[polar igloo]

It's not a craft, you drag it into your hotbar, and click on the wall with it equipped

Ooooooh .. Thx 😄

[ocean lodge]

Hey. I'm setting up an unofficial server for me and my friends. On our old unofficial there was 9 min to imprint the babies with 100% imprint. Does anyone know how for this are the settings are?

[jaunty vortex]

Get Beacon and it can be used to calculate the multipliers for 100% tames.

Pretty sure the free version will do this.

[cunning thistle]

Is the server issue causing any issues with home dedicated servers?

[jaunty vortex]

Should not be unless you want to shut yours down through solidarity?

It’s not Epic Online Services that’s down.

[ocean lodge]

Thanks for answering. Appreciate that.

[austere needle]

good day to all i have some questions first why is my steamclient on version 61.36 <- where i can find the patchnotes ? / and why we are no longer able to start duck duck jump on clubark ? (server goes in to freez and wont respont to rcon) anyonels have this ?

[jaunty vortex]

If it doesn’t, dm me later and I can give you some numbers.

[distant hearth]

make sure the session name is wrapped in quotation marks like this,
Astraeos_WP?SessionName="UnARKed - Astraeos - 4x/QoL"?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=27760?ServerAdminPassword=<REDACTED>" -Port=7760 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=70 -clusterid=<REDACTED> -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs -UseDynamicConfig
?listen not needed, use battleye they do by default

[tropic kindle]

I just bought Bob's Bundle and it seems like my steam account doesn't connect to ark, in the top left of ark it says player 1 instead of my name tag, I do not have access to multiplayer, mods and the game doesn't recognise that I own BTT. Please help

[tardy prairie]

Does this major maintenance that dollie mentioned only effect official servers?

[wise kindle]

Its effecting all Nitrado servers as well.

[hasty valley]

Yeah, it's the same as the other 6 servers I have running, it's just not getting "fully" started so I'm not sure what's going on there.

[echo stone]

Hey all!
Im slighly new to battlemetrics, I was refered to use it after discovering my Ark server wasnt dino wiping properly. I want to configure it for a daily restart with the dino wipe. However the word restart has made me scared, i don't want to risk it cleaning my maps of everything, just shutting down and booting back up. Anyone use battlemetrics for this and what command are you using?

[last magnet]

I'd logout of steam, reboot the PC and sign back in. Occasionally CF lags with the purchases.

[tropic kindle]

Thanks

[last magnet]

I had it blip on me like that and a reboot fixed it

[desert field]

Is there a posted harware requirement so hosting an ARK:SA server?

[swift goblet]

I have the same issue. 5 other maps launch fine but Astraeos doesn't ever give the "server started"

[swift goblet]

I had to uninstall ark and do a fresh insall to get it to recognize BTT on my laptop

[tropic kindle]

already tried but thank you still

[wise kindle]

Stop spamming

[rich kiln]

I finally got my server up and running, thanks for the help @unique prairie @jaunty vortex

[celest halo]

Just in time for new updates that don't have patch notes yet

Client and dedicated server just got an update on steam

[jaunty vortex]

Probably a minor update like Unreal 5.5 😂

[distant hearth]

just a minor 4.76gb client side update, ughh

[jaunty vortex]

server version 61.38?

[celest halo]

I wouldn't put it past them to do something like that with a delayed patch notes or none at all 🤣

[jaunty vortex]

ditto

[celest halo]

dont know version, not home to do the updates. Just know it released from my bot

[jaunty vortex]

61.38 is what's showing for me, was 61.29

[fierce timber]

4.8gb patch out of nowhere just a bit ago. 2nd update recently with no patchnotes to match in the Discord like there usually is.

[lapis quest]

Ayo, have you removed love evolved from your servers?

[jaunty vortex]

patch notes there now

[jaunty vortex]

no

but then I often chose to run events longer

[elder relic]

Hey , i have a question ,If I remove the Love ascended mod from my servers, will I lose the skins and everything related to the event? if so, how can I keep them while stopping the event?

[jaunty vortex]

maybe. Some of them may still be there from last year, but the references to the files in the game may have changed and anything new might not be.

You could add the mod as a passive one

[frigid vine]

For us it works. We removed the mod already 2 days ago. All good.

[devout rampart]

anyone has the entire playerbase that get kicked after mounting on Maeguana? happeing to all after the last update, but not in SP.

[frigid vine]

Yes, same for crop plots.

Looks like couple of structures/dinos/inventory are affected.

[devout rampart]

Still no one can learn the saddle, also

[devout rampart]

even admincheat unlockengram "Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Maelizard/PrimalItemArmor_MaelizardSaddle.PrimalItemArmor_MaelizardSaddle'" doesn't work

[shrewd zephyr]

is there any command that i can make an enemy tribe in single player?

[frail ferry]

When’s rag come out?

[wise kindle]

#1110925695900713072 is where this needs to go

[sick root]

aye sir mb

[lone slate]

Anyone majorly rubberbanding?

[celest halo]

you try using the engram name and not the saddle itsself

[devout rampart]

this is the secondary problem, tha main one, everyone crash in the render area of a player that mount a mae.

[celest halo]

😂 sounds like WC made a nice raid dino, noone left to fight if they all dc

[noble pulsar]

How can u Updated Server Version on nitrado while Server is stoped ?

[noble pulsar]

Leave ur tribe, create a new one, build while in the new one, get back to a structure of ur old tribe and use forcejointribe while looking at a structure

[wise kindle]

You dont.
You start it and it will pick up the update if it is available.

[devout rampart]

@low haven we have the same problem that you described here: #status-updates message and we are all PC player with an updated (twice) cluster to v61.38 . Official-like setup.

[feral fractal]

Is nitrado not working right now or something?

I can’t even log in

[exotic stone]

what going on with unofficial server on nitrado

[vale mirage]

J

[fallen jolt]

Hello, is anyone having a problem with the server? The Island server starts but no one can access it.

[mellow cipher]

nitrado off até 28/2

Console players, if you are experiencing timeouts when mounting a Maeguana and jumping/gliding etc, please make sure that your Unofficial Server is updated to v61.38. This issue only impacts users who are playing on servers that have not patched.

#status-updates message

How are we going to update?

How are we going to update?

@zealous aurora

@low haven

[cloud quail]

I got in but was insane much lag, rubber banding all over again, I loged out and now i cant log in again :/

why do they go online without fixin this game?

[fallen jolt]

My server stuck, it is online but does not appear in the list

Nitrado is sad

[covert nymph]

Is the lag, rubberbanding, and general server issues right now a nitrado issue currently?

[cloud quail]

I remember i had this problem 1 year ago becuse i took a year break from this game, and now it was back, so i wonder what have they done now

[devout rampart]

We have all maps updated and still have the issue. Fully updated twice all the Maps to check for some sort of corruption. No luck. Had to retreive all Maeguana from all players, because not only you crash, but all players that are rendering you on the saddle at that moment

[wise kindle]

lmaooo... my friend. This never left.

[cloud quail]

true, but that insane rubber banding was gone when i joined again

[elder hill]

I deleted a mod, and now in the console it says

"set installed mod status invalid missing module"

its not in the ini or start up bat?

[pure haven]

same here. the only way to fix it was completely reinstall servers

[last magnet]

doesn't affect the performance, so it's fine

Are you using a server or running SP?

[mellow cipher]

i xbox , you steam

astraeos 30 % map 🤨 😂

I don't even want that map.

[viscid holly]

do the unofficial servers also get taken down to prevent anything?

[frosty orbit]

I run a unofficial server and we can't do anything it as well

[viscid holly]

yeah i have 5 maps up but one map has a red 🚨and say server has been disabled so im assuming they did it to protect it

[frosty orbit]

@viscid holly I think they did mine looking like that

[viscid holly]

yeah also shows no ram or anything so ill just wait it out hope they find a fix soon

[boreal widget]

is your server a LA server? those are down they are moving them
there is also a current ddos attack and servers were taken down for safety

[viscid holly]

yeah im asuming it got taken down to be protected as the other ones are still up and running and they are in the same zone. just kinda confusing rn as its the ddoss attack and the moving haha

[worn cove]

do u know when the LA servers will be back up or no word yet?

[boreal widget]

it says today but it also says it could last the 28th too

[boreal widget]

this is the exact message

We are migrating our LA Data Center from February 25 to 28 to improve server performance. Downtime is expected on February 26 and 27, with possible brief interruptions on February 25 and 28.

[spark mortar]

Other than nitrado what other server platforms can Asa use?

[boreal widget]

none there is an exclusive contract with asa all asa official and unofficial servers are ran with Nitrado
ASE im not sure i think you can still use other server providers

[spark mortar]

That’s what I thought. Yall got someone watching gen chat saying that unofficial can run on other platforms and tried to get me to join their discord. I’d be careful

[boreal widget]

it can run on your own hardware if you have an extra PC but its limited to SP settings and differences

[spark mortar]

He said a co owns an unofficial server

Hotcake was the discord name

[keen summit]

Am I misunderstanding you? You can definitely run off Nitrado

[spark mortar]

Dude is saying you can run Asa unofficial servers through a provider that’s not nitrado

[pure haven]

gravel host. but hosting it yourself will always be better

[spark mortar]

lo

[keen summit]

you can...

[tall dragon]

🤡

[spark mortar]

No

[tall dragon]

You definitely a Karen type 😄

[keen summit]

This is where I think there is a misunderstanding, lol

or trolling? Not quite sure

[tall dragon]

just like everyone else can do... but not for this troll 😄

[boreal widget]

looked it up i guess i was wrong they did initially have a exclusive deal but enough people got pissed that thats no longer the case
although official servers are still nitrado

[keen summit]

Oh wait... you mean maybe something that is pre-setup and easy mode and click some buttons and an ASA server pops up ready for you? Rather than hosting it yourself with another method

Yeah, I have 14 running on two bare metal servers

[tall dragon]

Yeah, officials are forced to stay on nitrado

[boreal widget]

my info was 2 years old i just never bothered to check to see if anything changed

[olive talon]

@whole pulsar #bobs-with-probs

[keen summit]

whoa, this thing is heavily moderated

[olive talon]

it's 5min CD in general

[olive talon]

Doesn't matter. This is not general 2.0

[leaden magnet]

small issue, whenever anyone on my server uses a meaguana the server kicks them with a host timeout message, i have a couple of mods the main ones bieng primal choas and a bunch of qol. started happening after the most recent patch.

[keen bough]

Ok to add Astraeos to my cluster I just add it as Astraeos_WP ?? or do I still need to install the map mod?

[boreal widget]

just the map mod isnt needed

[keen bough]

and Space I am seeing a lot of discord servers mentioning the bug with that tame

Instead of bringing back the Maewing... looks like they are making a new creature and it seems buggy

[boreal widget]

specifically xbox players are having that issue from what i can tell

[leaden magnet]

hmm, we have an xbox player, im on steam and 2 others are on steam and all 4 of us are getting kicked

[boreal widget]

could be a new issue from the recent update wouldnt be surprised this recent update broke some things

[leaden magnet]

so experimental update, happening without any mods and it also seems to disconnect everyone who is rendering the meaguana if it trys to jump or glide

[pure haven]

if you updated server to latest version but it still doing that you need to reinstall server completely to fix it. thats the only what can fix it or at least the only what fixed it for me

[late otter]

hi could someone help me setting up a server to play with friends?

i think i did the initial setup the firewall rules, but only me (the host) can join in, my friends get a connection timeout

[tough walrus]

when my buddy goes to resume our unofficial server he gets the prompt "are you sure you want to run this command"
does that mean all is good now or what?

[haughty ether]

That's normal

[tough walrus]

tyty

[late otter]

help plsss!

[distant hearth]

ark evolved or ascended? did you forward ports on the network aswell? router,/hub etc

[jaunty vortex]

You need to look at owns the hosting companies. Apex are owned by Nitrado, for example.

[late otter]

i opened the ports in my router, in my firewalls windows

but they still cant join only my pc

im hosting the server in a laptop of my own

and i think i can join from my pc because we have the same connection

also my laptop (the host) has a static server

[distant hearth]

possibly, if ascended it only uses the one udp game port for connection, set with -port=xxxx

[late otter]

it doesnt use the port 27015? the tdp

[distant hearth]

nope thats the old ase steam query port for listing the servers on there network

asa is all done through eos

[late otter]

oh got it

well i think it keeps the same problem because neither of the ports are open

the udp and the tcp

can i use another port instead of 7777 like trying with another random port

[distant hearth]

yea, but becuase asa often ignores ?port=xxxx , best to use -port=7778

yes as above, alot people have issues with 7777 so its good thing to try first

using 7778

[late otter]

ok im gonna try

i think i tried openning that port but it also didnt open with 7777 and 27015

i enabled the dmz on my router because i think i have a nat enabled by my isp

[distant hearth]

dmz wont help incoming connection get past if your isp is blocking as far as i know, since allowing a port through the router bypasses anything dmz does

[jaunty vortex]

Stop trying to use 27015

Who is your ISP? Look and see if they use CGNAT

[late otter]

i have a question, if i have any type of nat am i able to use any port or even opening one?

[jaunty vortex]

Your router uses NAT. it’s when your ISP does too and you have double NAT that you have issues.

[late otter]

my router is opening the 7778 port but is using 0.0.0.0 ip

any ideas of the cause?

[jaunty vortex]

You need to tell it the IP address of the computer hosting the server in your network.

[late otter]

im running in powershell this command: Get-NetUPDEndpoint

and in my router i have it like this

well i cant send images haha

but im using my static ip

Description Inbound Port Type Private IP Address Local Port
ArkPort3 7778-7778 UDP 192.168.0.4 7778-7778

the 192 bla bla is my static ip

and i have that port in virtual servers and port triggers

[vale mirage]

When cam server on

[jaunty vortex]

That looks ok. Obviously I don’t know your internal address setup.

[proud quiver]

i was using 27015 for the longest time until it suddenly stopped working a couple months back. Why would it suddenly stop working?

[celest halo]

27015 is default rcon port and also default for a few other things, if you run more then one game server it's probably in use

[jaunty vortex]

For what? That’s the query port in ASE. It’s not used in ASA. .

[jaunty vortex]

ahem

27020 is default recon.

[celest halo]

For ark yeah, but source rcon default is 27015

Also think monodb uses that port default, then everything with steam backend

does anyone know how i can disable the tg stacking mod weight reduction?

trying it now will let ya know if just a few

[wise kindle]

Yes

[hushed olive]

Can’t get into game at all. Keeps dashboarding on Xbox X. Restarted Xbox multiple times, force close game, restart just to get dashboarded again and again. New update is crap

Can’t even get to list of Official/Unofficial servers bc. Ark keeps crashing when trying to open.

[neon fractal]

I had same problem, I loaded up single player to the map I was gonna be playing on (Astraeos). Quit, rejoined and it worked

[tidal geyser]

Would anyone know why my Dino depot won’t pick up Dino’s and says I have to much stuff in my inventory even when I don’t ? I have and unofficial server and it’s been a on going battle for me . It works for a few days then stops working for like a week or so any ideas? On how to fix this problem

[tepid berry]

@tidal geyser have you tried killing your character? -- There have been a few times now where xferring would cause invisible items to fill up your inventory slots with no real way to tell it was happening. They've since fixed the bugs, but you could have a character with lingering effects from it.

[tidal geyser]

Yes I have been removing my hole inventory and using my
Gem to die . Then picking stuff back up . But I did notice that it seems to be giving me more stuff when I pick up my bag then I originally had … I’m just not sure how to stop that issue

[tepid berry]

You report it to the addon author usually.

[tidal geyser]

Who would the add on author be ? Sorry I’m quite new to all this

[tepid berry]

Find the addon on curseforge, see if they list a discord somewhere, join that addon's discord, look for a bug report channel, see if the issue is reported in there already, if not, report it.

If it's there already, simply...wait...

[tidal geyser]

Ok thank you I’ll see if I can get into that I assume you mean the discord for the Dino depot mod .

[tepid berry]

Yep.

They'll have a better idea of what's causing it, ETA for a fix, how best to solve it, etc

[tidal geyser]

Thank you. For the help I’m going to get on to that now

so i really need some help. i just booted up my servers and my character profile is gone. i still have the file in cluster folder. can i use that to recover my character?

[robust nymph]

Does the latest status update include unofficial or just official?

[languid plank]

luckily i had an old profile from when we did the gamma king titan. i just lost chibi progress and like 6 levels

pretty sure just official and nitrado

Only officials. They don't move/shutdown unofficials

Hi my friend has a few nitrado servers but he cant transfer to his astraeos one. He can transfer from his abb to extinction servers no problem. He just cant join astraeos. When he tries it will put his character into upload. And he tries to join through the menu but it will put him on home screen.

[stiff grotto]

does anyone know hot to fix ab spawns on undedicated servers?

[copper haven]

I'm trying to set up an ASA server and want to run 6 maps, hoping to get about 30 to 40 players on each one. I checked out Nitrado for a month, and it would cost me $377.34 for 6 maps with 50 slots. I'm thinking it might be smarter to just buy a PC that can handle running 6 maps instead. Let me know if you think I'd be able to run the server with this PC, or if you see any potential issues or bottlenecks.

CPU: Intel Core i9-14900K 3.2 GHz 24-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 AORUS MASTER EATX LGA1700 Motherboard

[stiff grotto]

you can

can i join ur server when it comes out?

[opal flare]

Does joining an Astraeo server work on Xbox atm?

[wise kindle]

It can although the game has alot of issues joining maps atm.

[opal flare]

This is like the only map I can not join on period

[wise kindle]

If you have tribemates, having them kill you so you respawn seems to get ppl past the crash on log in.

[jaunty vortex]

Save money on the CPU, it’s over powered for what you need. Invest in the RAM.

[opal flare]

I meant I have never been able to get on it.

Figured it out and it’s stupid.

I had to load in on single player mode with no mods to get it to work otherwise idk why

No problem. Glad it worked

how do i fix Joining failed - Connection Timeout?

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the Tribe Tower from my server via the ini settings?

[modest sorrel]

Hello everyone, I have a "little" question (actually it's a big one xD).

First of all, I'm sorry for the quality of my English, I'm French and my message was translated by Google Trad, so it must not be great...

My partner and I decided to do the whole Ark adventure again. Going from map to official map to follow the story. In terms of profile, we both have good PCs. I'm a pretty big Ark gamer (I played the game in Alpha, right up to Aberration, when I gave up on it because it was too futuristic), and I must have easily clocked up 600 or 700 hours on Ark Survival Evolved. My partner, on the other hand, has never played the game, and isn't a big fan of survival games.

I'd like to know whether I should opt for Ark Tradi or Ark Ascended (which I find a little more appealing, given the novelty and various improvements it offers).

Finally, and depending on your answer, do you have any server options (such as timing speed, XP percentage and so on) and really cool mods (such as construction enhancers, long blue views that give all the Dinos' stats, the timeless mod that increases slot storage, etc.) for a Duo adventure? The idea is not to distort the game, but since we're both in active life now, the 20h timing of the big fat dinos is not really possible, but on the other hand having everything in 10min would simply spoil the game play of the game...

By the way, can we still host a server to play locally ? Or is it even better to use a hosted server for two players ?

In any case thank you very much in advance for your answers gods !!!! 💖

[stuck leaf]

does anyone know why i cant find club ark on my cluster or even official?

[distant hearth]

have filters set to search pvp only?

[stuck leaf]

i did, but even with it set to all on my cluster i dont see it

[distant hearth]

dunno then, maybe the server is down, maybe eos is down again, theres been alot of issues with servers last few days

[stoic quest]

Anyone have any idea why meks on my server are giving extra levels? If so how to fix that

[wise kindle]

I believe mek levels were “fixed” just recently and they now seem to go higher like that of tek dinos.
I dont know the logic from WC here, but it seems to be a thing now.

[stoic quest]

So we just have to change the damage resistance? That all that can be done?

[wise kindle]

Maybe. I dont know a way to limit it otherwise other than to weaken it.

[stoic quest]

Ah okay, thank you for your help 😊

[wise kindle]

Np. Not much of a solution unfortunately. We just noticed the change last week.
We are pve so no biggie but thats not a nice change if you are trying to balance on pvp 🤦🏽‍♀️

[swift goblet]

That would be more then enough to host 6 maps, probably closer to 12 with that setup if that's all you used it for.

[hexed minnow]

why cant my friend use the gamma 4 command on my server?

[proud cobalt]

I messed up my server ad didnt realize you couldnt have discord links but now I have slowmode for 6 hours and can’t post again. Can a mod pleasee allow me to post it once more and delete the old one?

[wise kindle]

You will need to contact dodomail

[bitter heron]

Hello everyone,
I have a question: are there problems with joining servers again? I've been trying to join my Astraeos server for more than 30 minutes now, but I'm thrown back to the start page of the X Box. Does anyone have an idea?

It can't be that there are problems with joining after every update.

[wise kindle]

Join your Astraeos map on single player, run around on it for a bit, then exit to main menu and join your server.

[bitter heron]

Thank you, it worked on the 3rd attempt with the single player

[paper charm]

Hello, I have a quick question and cannot find a response online to my question. I am trying to set up a private unofficial server for friends to pvp one another, the issue is that our owned copies of ASE vary between Steam, PC game pass, and Xbox game pass. If I rent a server online, is there a specific one that I have to rent in order for us all to join or will some of the steam players have to purchase PC game pass so we can all play or what can I do?

[bleak ivy]

ASE is not crossplay between all platforms.

steam is with epic (without mods)
xbox is with PC xbox (gamepass/microsoft store)
switch, mobile, and playstation are alone.

[paper charm]

so the guys that own steam versions will have to get pc game pass?

[bleak ivy]

yes

[paper charm]

I saw something about getting the server IP and putting it into Steams built in favorite server feature to direct connect? is that not a thing or only for dedicated

[bleak ivy]

wouldn't change the situation on crossplay

dedicated is both self-host and rented. it just means not non-dedicated.

[paper charm]

one more thing as well, there is about 12 or so people playing, will 8GB be enough RAM for us on a map like Rag/Valg/Fjordur. And any reccomended server host? I was thinking of going with GPortal but they dont give server Specs for RAM. Nitrado good for this situation?

[bleak ivy]

most say gportal over nitrado. I only did self-host so wouldn't know

[paper charm]

but it should be okay for 12-15 players?

[bleak ivy]

if all 12 people are on at the same time 8GB will probably not be enough

especially on ASE.

[paper charm]

oh

dang, idk what to do lol

My buddy has a gaming laptop we could use to do a dedicated, is that a bad idea? Is it very complicated to set up?

[bleak ivy]

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

[paper charm]

thanks!!

wait, so im going through the link and I dont understand something. If i host it with his gaming laptop, is there a certain step to denote that I want the server to be for Xbox/PC Game Pass or Steam? It is saying that it will show up as so "Once your server has started it will show up on the in-game ARK unofficial server list or the Steam game server browser.". Does this mean it allows Steam and Xbox together or how do i convert the dedicated to make it for Xbox/PC Game Pass

[lavish gulch]

Does anyone know why custom cosmetics dont load on start up? Im always having to teleport aways from my base a couple of times before the skins show.

[bleak ivy]

oh, right. self-host on PC/console xbox ASE. requires going through the game. can't actually host a proper cluster.
download the game on the self-host PC
sign into a free silver xbox account and launch ark (make sure its using an unused account.
launch it through the host/local menu, join by using the xbox friendslist.

completely slipped my mind lol

too used to ASA

[paper charm]

so i just run it through ARK itself? And I have to purchase another copy?

[bleak ivy]

no, you just download ark on the main account. and it'll be shared.

[idle imp]

Any estimated times till servers might start coming up?

[bleak ivy]

could be slow? or to help prevent crashing when loading too much stuff.

[bleak ivy]

#status-updates
this is about unofficial setup.

[paper charm]

@bleak ivy Wait, so isnt there a slot limit thats quite low for this version of hosting or am i crazy?

[bleak ivy]

I don't know. highest I ever had when I was hosting ASE from PC xbox was like 4 or 5.

[paper charm]

ugh, why is this so complicated haha

[bleak ivy]

I imagine you just have to change the setting if it defaults to a low number

[paper charm]

within ark or like ini files?

[bleak ivy]

at least you don't need to worry about port-forwarding with PC xbox lol

[bleak ivy]

ini files. don't think those kind of settings are in the singleplayer menu.

[worldly finch]

Has anyone else had the game crash trying to load Astraeos on character creation?

[torn holly]

I was playing the game ok till like 3 days ago and now every time I try to run it get the debugger message and it does not play

says enabletek in ini file there is not this lol

any updates on fixing the most recent patch issues with meaguanas kicking players with "host disconnect" messages? there was a mention that reinstalling the server files could fix it but id perfer to reserve that option for later out of potential issues that may cause on the hardware im using.

[rugged tendon]

So, my mod isn't updating on nitrado. I've restarted the server 3 times. Stopped it for 10 mins. Reinstalled the mod on Nitrado.

Im having this issue and idk why.

I have the update on ark itself (singleplayer has no issue) but on Nitrado it won't update.

The mod owner doesn't understand why as their server is up to date.

My Nitrado server is at v61.38

[hasty valley]

Is there anything special required to host Astraeos map? Trying to host on dedicated and the map isn't fulld starting. Using steamcmd, starting server anonymously. No mod required to host it, right? just use map Astraeos_WP?

[wise kindle]

The server version of a mod can take up to 4 days to be ok'd by Curseforge and made available for download.

The version you are seeing is likely the client version.

[rugged tendon]

To use your Astraeos Mod savegame on the Astraeos official version follow this guide!
Nitrado User:

1. Stop server
2. In General Settings: Select Astraeos (DLC) in map dropdown, clear "Custom Mapname" and save settings
3. In Curseforge view: remove Astraeos mod ID from and save
4. Rename Astraeos folder to Astraeos_WP folder (via File browser or FTP)
5. Start server

Rootserver user:

1. Stop server

2. Select Astraeos DLC in map dropdown

3. Save settings

4. Remove the Astraeos map mod from your server

5. Rename Astraeos savegame folder to Astraeos_WP folder

6. Start server

[hasty valley]

yeah. it's a little different when using steamcmd to launch it in daemon mode...

[rugged tendon]

I have no idea other than that.

[hasty valley]

do you need to have purchased astraeos to host it? or only to play on it.

[wraith kayak]

if i have a cluster setup, do I need to share a drive between the machines ?

[hasty valley]

they need to be able to read/write to the same cluster location

[wraith kayak]

so basically a public drive that both servers can see ?

can is be samba? Im running server on linux using Proton

[hasty valley]

that can be a network share, mounted azure file store, s3, blob storage.... and long as the path was configured and mounted correctly.

[wraith kayak]

ah no shit I can use S3 ?

[hasty valley]

sure

how do you think WC does it?

for thousands of servers

[wraith kayak]

whos WC ?

[hasty valley]

wildcard

[wraith kayak]

Wildcard ?

I just wonder if it needs to be samba or linux based if Im running on Linux

[rugged tendon]

You need the DLC to host it

You dont need the DLC for the Mod version

[hasty valley]

interesting. ok.

[wraith kayak]

hey, if I take a server and swap out to the cluster drive, does it erase what was on the server previously ?

or is all that "still there"

in other words, if I have been playing on server, then add it to a cluster, using a networked drive cluster directory, does it wipe out evertything that was originall on that server ?

[celest halo]

you dont need to own the DLC to run a Astreaos map on a dedicated server

[celest halo]

why would you use a windows share when running on linux

[thorny ember]

Can anyone help me set up my non dedi server bc it keeps saying connection time out, im using ASM

[short gust]

how do I make non dedicated dinos have a maxium level of 150 I have both the slider on 1 and the max dino level check box marked. Im on the island and I cannot seem to get it right

[wraith kayak]

well isn't it running on proton ?

and that uses windows shares ?

[pine wigeon]

Anyone had the issue on nitrado when you leave ting doesn't skip? Had some babies out and came off around 7 hours ago. Just loaded in and they're on the exact same % as when I left

But its not always doing this so idk

[spice wyvern]

Does anyone know if the Astraeos mythological creatures mod has to be installed or are the dinosaurs in that mod included in the premium map?

As far as I knew it was just the Maeguana that was new and if I wanted the 2 other creatures I had to add the mythological creatures mod to the map

[past jasper]

i bought a nitrado server, how can i enable gamma on it, i want us to be able to use the keybinds to swap between 2 gamma settings

[pure haven]

thats not true, you dont need to own dls to host it lol. steamcmd use anonymous login and dont need to be using any real steam account. also that guide for root server is also wrong as there is no dropdown menu for self host, that only works for nitrado and maybe some server managers apps

[jaunty vortex]

Can confirm. I set up an Astraeos server on my host before I owned the DLC 🙂

[tender forge]

Hi, I’m looking at adjusting the imprinting to have it done 2 - 3 times in a full RL day. Right now one imprint is 14%
Any idea on what it should be?

[jaunty vortex]

Download Beacon. It will calculate values for you. Pretty sure the free version can do this.

[fickle plank]

guys i cant join any Server cause when i try to join it Crash and gives me a Crash Message Name is: The UE4-Shootergame Game has Crashed and will close Assertion failed: NewWorld can anyone help with it?

[opaque trellis]

Hi,I have a question.Me and my friend are playing on unofficial server of ark and when the host are entering a cave the other one is being teleported to him even if he is on another side of the map.Anyone know how to fix it?

[red juniper]

is a non dedicated server?

[opaque trellis]

yes it is on non dedicated server

[jaunty vortex]

That’s why

Non-dedicated will teleport to the person entering a cave.

[plush karma]

Can someone please tell me why my servers are jump to 300 to 500

[elder hill]

My Server PC dont even own ASA lol never mind the DLC

[opaque trellis]

oh really?

then can it be changed for distance in a cave?

[near hawk]

anyone know if DeinosuchusAA is the valid name tag for the official deino, for lines like DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers

is there something wrong with this line in my ini, trying to max crocs rarer - DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag=DeinosuchusAA,SpawnWeightMultiplier=1.0,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=True,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.02)

[gentle sail]

is unoffical affected by the DDOS attack on wildcard?

[obsidian depot]

no

[gentle sail]

okay hmmm

[obsidian depot]

well I think it depens which server, but alot of them are still up...

[gentle sail]

my server is suddenly crashing and lagging and rubber banding and its out of no where

[obsidian depot]

well its a NA Unofficial server ?

[gentle sail]

yes I believe so

[obsidian depot]

bcz servers hosted at the LA Data Center are down. So if its close or something, I guess it can be affected

[gentle sail]

my partner set it up lol so I believe it is NA

[obsidian depot]

Is it public ? Is just you lagging or everyone ?

[gentle sail]

Lenoir, NC

the whole server is lagging to the point I had to take it down

[obsidian depot]

Did you see if you had an update of the server or just a reboot to refresh idk

[gentle sail]

the server has no updates I keep up on it but im redoing updates and refreshing and even then the lag and rubberband is causing issues

[pure haven]

reinstall server

[gentle sail]

ill try

[obsidian depot]

I hope Rin- is right

[silk eagle]

How do you kick off a mod Astraeos server? I'm using "Astraeos_WP", but I just get a black screen when I try to log on. Is there a different mmap name for the mod version?

[wise kindle]

The mod is busted as far as Ive seen, ever since the DLC released. Your report is all too common.

[silk eagle]

Of course :/

[wise kindle]

Gotta buy the dlc I guess. Or remain defiant and wait it out.

[storm bone]

When is Intel fix for Astreos coming

[noble pulsar]

Anyone know why chibify Mode from Cs multitool dont work ?

[bleak ivy]

it should've been fixed. make sure you have the map mod ID first. and it shows when joining

[proud cobalt]

does anyone know why my unofficial server doesn't change the baby imprint time? no matter if I set the number to 25 or 0.05 it doesnt change jack sht

BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.05
and
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=25
both do nothing for my baby stego its still 7 days cuddle timer

[wise kindle]

Are you testing on new eggs, babies and adult breeders?
The timers wont change as they hold the previous settings. You have to use new assets to pick up the new settings.

[proud cobalt]

oh, they;re old babies.

[wise kindle]

You can use the same parents but yeah you need new babies.
If you are adjusting breed timers then you have to wait out the timer or use new parents.

[tranquil kelp]

is there a way to take the save file of a server from nitrado? i'd like to change maps temporarily without losing the bases and date on the current map.

[pseudo ravine]

I am having problems changing the max dino difficulty to lvl 150 and I have already tried changing the settings/ files and even commands and with wipe (I play on steam and on the island plus im on ase

[tranquil kelp]

what is your max difficulty set to?

[pseudo ravine]

5

[tranquil kelp]

and "enable max difficulty" is checked?

[pseudo ravine]

and official difficulty is set to 5 aswell and still after a dino wipe the dinos are level 22 or 48

[pseudo ravine]

yes

[tranquil kelp]

have you restarted after applying these?

[pseudo ravine]

yes

[tranquil kelp]

did you amke these changes before shutting the server down?

a mistake i made when i started was editing and changing settings, thinking they would be applied when i restarted next.

[pseudo ravine]

its single player sorry forgot to say that

[tranquil kelp]

ah.

[wraith kayak]

Hey I have a cluster setup and its working, but for some reason Xbox and PS5 clients or remote clients can't travel between servers... any ideas ?

[jaunty vortex]

have you set up the other servers to be PC only?

[wraith kayak]

well they have -crossplay enabled

they can connect to either server just fine

just cant travel it throws them back to the server they were on

[jaunty vortex]

it's crossplay by default, you don't need to specify it

[wraith kayak]

do more ports need to be open for server trasnfers that i dont know about ?

[jaunty vortex]

No. Just a unique port per server. 7777 for the first, 7778 for the second, etc.

[lunar prairie]

Can anyone help me figure out some port forwarding issues?

Cant send images

I have my router rules configured properly, udp 7777, 7778, and 27015 all pointed to my PC and my PC firewall settings should be correct

Online port checkers say the port is closed though

"Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=10
exit"

ending of my startup command

[pure haven]

ports will be closed by default if nothing using them at the moment when you check them. also if thats a line for asa its completely wrong. or is it ase?

[rose basalt]

hey I'm new to ark and I was considering purchasing ark survival evolved but I found out that the official servers are scrapped and you have to rent a server if you want to play multiplayer as I wanted to run a server for just me and my friend. Is there any way I can get a server for free

[last magnet]

use an older PC you already have

[distant hearth]

or the same pc u play on if its good enough

[pulsar sierra]

How can I add astraeos to my cluster using ASCT? I don't see the map as an option when creating the server.

[rose basalt]

How do I run a server tho? Isn't the official servers scrapped?

[pulsar sierra]

You run an unofficial one

[rose basalt]

How, is there an option in the game to host one or do I use an external application?

[pulsar sierra]

You use an external application to host it. Then join your own server as if it's not yours

Just like a regular server

[rose basalt]

Do you know an external application that I can use?

[distant hearth]

theres a thing called google, type in "how to host ark evolved server"
bobs ya uncle, fannies ya aunt, u get links to how

[pulsar sierra]

Ark server creation tool. Go to YouTube and look up how to set it up. It's petty easy. If you plan on using the same machine to play and host, make sure you have at least 32gb ram

[rose basalt]

I did it started talking about dedicated and undedicated servers

And showed me servers that others are running

[rose basalt]

Thanks I will search it up

[pulsar sierra]

Np, watch nooblets. His video is pretty good

[rose basalt]

K

[pulsar sierra]

Anyone know how i can add astraeos to my cluster using ASCT? I don't see the map as an option when creating the server.

[distant hearth]

yes , thats a boy, now you start to watch or read an learn about the servers, its a free resource u can take advantage of,
then u get all the fun of learning how to setup the serve ronce u can join it,
this might help a lil if u prefer reading over youtube shite
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup
an this for server settings once it running,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[rose basalt]

thx

[rose basalt]

Does this tool run ark survival ascended?

[pulsar sierra]

Yes

[rose basalt]

sorry i meant ark survival evolved

sparx?

[rose basalt]

??

[pulsar sierra]

If it doesn't worry for asr then look for other external tools that would work for it. I'm sure they're out there

I've never hosted ase before so idk

[rose basalt]

oh ok

[frank python]

how do i raise dino lvl cap while playing with my friend? (ASE pc steam)

[bleak ivy]

do you mean wild level.
player inputted levels.
or the tame deletion level (shouldn't be a thing unless enabled for unofficials/Singleplayer)

[coral maple]

The only way to increase a dinopast, the seventy five levels that you can add.Once you catch, it is to breed it out for its stats and continue leveling with the baby.You can only add what I believe.Is seventy five points to any tame

[frank python]

wild lvl yea

i wanna tame 450s

[olive talon]

83, was changed when Genesis was added

[olive talon]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty in gameusersettings.ini

[frank python]

so its the same way...?

as single player that is

[coral maple]

@olive talon good to know thanks

[olive talon]

You're on Steam, go into your gameusersettings.ini (how to find that here: #unofficial-setup-help message) and add or look for OverrideOfficialDifficulty=15

[frank python]

im a bit braindead, would you have a video of it 😭

[olive talon]

Why would you need a video? It is explained exactly how to find it in that link

[bleak ivy]

non-dedi uses the same settings as singleplayer yeah.

if its a dedicated then wherever its config is

[lunar prairie]

I figured it out, my router overwrote my static IP I set for my PC

so it was being sent to the wrong server

thanks though

and to answer the question its ASE, havent bought the new one

[thorny ember]

Can someone help me use playit.gg for ark asm server hosting, I treid everything but my friends still get connection timeout

[tepid swallow]

Does Ark servers have settings for the seeds in abberation? Like spawning interval being adjustable? Or quantity of seeds being increased from 1 every minute?

[rich kiln]

Does WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier and TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier still work for ASA? Or do I have to use DinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier?

[rich kiln]

This might help: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Command_line

[rich kiln]

My friend had this too but other friends didn't. Try updating the server to the newest version. Should be 61.38, if your server is still 61.29, that might be the problem.

[tepid swallow]

I didn't mean spawning them in myself, rather if wild plant species Z has configurable settings. But thanks anyways.

[late saddle]

He guys i have problem

I can't collect anything, and nothing appears in my bag

[last magnet]

I have harvest set on 5 and crop decay set on .75 and I get a lot of seeds out of my crop plots. probably around 90/10.

[late saddle]

?

[last magnet]

give people a minute to read and answer please

possibly the server is crashing or restarting as that was my experience yesterday with mine

[late saddle]

No, it's in more than 6 servers

[olive talon]

Sounds like a #bobs-with-probs issue, not server setup help. It also sounds like an ongoing bug that many users have had, which should be reported in #bug-reports.

[late saddle]

No one responds to everything

[pure haven]

clear your cosmetic tab

[tepid swallow]

Thanks, if that works for wild plant species z, that would be huge. Or if Iguanadons could turn the grenades into seeds. I have missed to test that but looking at their wiki pages, I have to guess it doesn't work.

[proud cobalt]

Can you not post discord codes in server advertisement not even yhe link but just the letters at the end? I literally copy and pasted my previous advertisement that went through and it get deleted ive no clue whats wrong with it now

[tepid folio]

Sorry i don't know if i'm on the correct channel to ask that question but : Do you know if using software like DLSS swaper can considered as modifying the game (and so, risk a ban on official servers) ?

[finite wing]

disable Pickup on click but keeping the hold pickup?

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=true
but when i press only 1 e on a foundation i pick it up

[thorny ember]

Im using ark se 😭, and I think its up to date

[elder hill]

To open a 2nd server on pc do you just run another bat file of server? or a new steamcmd location

[deep flower]

Anyone using -UseStore on their servers know how to backup a character who had transfered to another server that crashed before the game save?

I am using -BackupTransferPlayerDatas but I do not know how to restore the character. 😭

[fleet ermine]

Apolgies if in wrong channel, but only "unofficial" channel here lol.

Alleged fix for maeguana :
Anyone running Ark version 61.38 but still timing out when using maeguana?

Any fixes?. Seems fine for the official maps but Svartalfheim & Asarik both running the version they said fixed it but issue remains👀

[silver thistle]

does anyone here use B+ structures mod ans can figure out the whole transfer to tek dedis from inventory malarky ?

[wise kindle]

I thought that mod was abandoned?

[wraith kayak]

So I have a cluster setup and its working fine with PC's but for some reason PS5 and xbox clients can't seem to travel between servers... anyone have any ideas ?

they can connect to the two servers independently but not "Travel"

[distant hearth]

that shudnt really be possible lol , all ark ascended player data is through eos no matter what the client platform..
Do you mind posting the start batch file/ server start command line here, put "xxxx" instead of any data u dont want shared , i wonde rif something odd is in it

[noble pulsar]

Is there a way to let osd/Element Vein Not get damaged by Tamed dinos ?

[olive talon]

On Astraeos at least, even with pve on, tames were still damaging them so we started using a safe osd mod

[elder hill]

Do you need to download a 2nd install of ASA to host a 2nd server?

[tender forge]

Hey, I’m looking at adjust my imprint timers and egg incubation time(reduce it by half of what default is)

I’m looking for something along the lines of 1 imprint for 100% after 4 hours

I’ve tried using the beacon app but it’s rather confusing

Thanks! 😊

[distant fog]

Do you play Singleplayer or Rented Server ?

[tender forge]

Rented server @distant fog

[languid plank]

no, just run a different .bat file and change the map. make sure you cluster them together

[slate bridge]

Is there durability on saddles now ?

[distant hearth]

need to no, but in my opinion its the best way so everything gets kept seperate

[modest sorrel]

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to modify the statistics of a specific dino via a mod, cheat lines or by modifying the game folders please.

[vocal pewter]

Hello good evening, we want to play Ark with my friend but after 2400 meters it teleports me to my friend. Is there a way to remove this with a mod or config file?

[merry cave]

After the update, I play in solo un my host local , i literally fly out of my base (herbivores island) and my game crash

[lean atlas]

is there a way to convert server save to singleplayer save

[elder hill]

Can't seem to get it to work from another .bat so only way I guess

[frank python]

so if i run a non dedicated session with my friend, can we stop and start with all our stuff again later?

they would also get all the mods i have - correct?

[granite thunder]

For the Xbox peeps, did this "potential crash fix" do anything for yall?

[wise kindle]

It fixed several of my xbox players Astraeos login issues, yes.
They no longer have to go to single player before trying to log into that map.

[rancid trellis]

Anyone keep getting kicked off when playing single player

[granite thunder]

I notice when I input a list of commands it also crashes me out but that's also good to hear

[wise kindle]

Thats a new one.
I do know they have been removing alot of the volumetric/poolsize commands. Maybe thats related.

[granite thunder]

Yeah i didn't even know that. You wouldn't happen to know which ones offhand would you?

[tough walrus]

Can I ask about mods in here? Specifically primal chaos?

[wise kindle]

I dont. I rarely use them tbh.
They appear to be sneaking them into the updates as well.

[wise kindle]

Your best bet is to ask in primal chaos discord tbh.

[tough walrus]

Ok ill look that up thanks

[granite thunder]

I'll have to do some research then, thanks though!

[echo storm]

Anyone has a solution for Epic games ark joining a server ip

[frank python]

gang really fast, my friend plays epic i play steam, can we play together on non dedicated?

[delicate schooner]

is there still nothing with unofficial becvause mine still wont boot

[tacit marsh]

You should be able to

Anyone having issues with only 2 or 3 maps in the cluster showing up? Even though all of them are up and running without issue?

[worthy pebble]

im getting the same issue

my The Island and Scorched earth map dont want to boot anymore

[frank python]

she hasving issues joining me, she cant even find my session

[tacit marsh]

Mine are booted and ready to join, but they don't show up with the rest of the cluster. Was working fine earlier today.

[worthy pebble]

same for me

i than decided to reboot them and now its crashing none stop when i attemps to boot them back

[frank python]

she streamed and it only showed like 5-6 sessions on epic but im seeing like 100+ on steam

[late matrix]

it's an Epic EOS matchmaking issue. Epic just posted it on their status page

[tacit marsh]

Is "Show Player Servers" checked?

[wary shuttle]

y el evento ???

[frank python]

She had to go feed her ats, ill have her check when shes back

Where would you find that option?

[worthy pebble]

it doesnt say its affecting ark

[late matrix]

ARK uses EOS match making for server search

ASA at least

[frank python]

yea idk team ARK ASE i play on steam, my friend plays on epic - i hosted a non dedicated game and she couldnt find it at all, and im not sure what to do. her join ark list shows 6, mine shows like 100

could it be the EOS matchmaking issue that makes it so i cant join her? or her join me?

[young yoke]

where are all the servers on ase on steam
there are like 3 with 30 people with 18k players?
am i missing something?

[frank python]

non dedicated - theres prob not 100, but a good amount

i checked its 50 lol mb i didnt see the number before, but tsill a huge difference in servers

[slate rivet]

for epic games people I heard it was better to connect with the console in a single player world

an up to date server's default settings allow for epic games people to join.

[candid stirrup]

does anyone know if i can upload/download character, items, and dinos and change maps in a non-cluster dedicated server with friends

[clever trail]

I still have a ASE cluster and noticed that Gen 2 takes more than 20sec to do a world save. I got it down to 27 sec from 30 sec after running my decay plugin but still that is crazy

Is there a way to fix it?

[frank python]

idk what this would mean, any idea how me and her can play tg?

[proud cobalt]

anyone know why after I changed the crafting cost for an item with an ini override string it doesn't show any ingredients required in game?

Anyone experiencing pvp not accepting tributes? Pve works fine but pvp just throws the tributes back into your inventory🤔 or did i miss something in config

[glass socket]

i need game.ini config files pvp

[tender forge]

I’ve adjusted my breeding timers but they are not showing in game.

Game files are showing the adjusted values, am I missing something somewhere?

[celest halo]

You check with new dinos, already active timers don't change if you change settings for them

[tender forge]

Does that go for fertilized eggs before I adjusted them?

[celest halo]

Anything with a timer normally

Ark sets the timer at time egg is layed, so changing the multiplier after don't change the time for current ones same with breeding cool down

[tender forge]

Ok thanks, makes sense now

[brisk thunder]

do i have to save changes at the dino spawns in Game.ini or in GameUserSetting.ini on singleplayer / non dedicated server?

[distant hearth]

game.ini
here shud help with settings and which file for future
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[brisk thunder]

i said singleplayer / non dedicated server that means not any server side like Gportal or etc. don't think https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration will help me there.

[distant hearth]

same settings go in same places, singleplayer or server

[brisk thunder]

but some YT tutorials said GameuserSettings.ini and some said Game.ini i tried both and both doesn't work

[distant hearth]

the link i gave tells you where a settings goes and under what header they need to be.
make sure game is closed when u make changes and that u save them

[jaunty vortex]

I'm sure a lot of people make changes while it's running and then the server overwrites them when it shuts down

[brisk thunder]

does this go under Game.ini or GameUserSettings.ini ?:

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_CityCenter_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Maewing",EntryWeight=0.15,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("MilkGlider_Character_BP_C"))),
NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="MilkGlider_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.20)))

and which part of the City is called DinoSpawnEntries_CityCenter_C ?

[distant hearth]

how many times can we answer the same question, game ini
this header is likely already there ,
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

add beneath that

[brisk thunder]

i tried nothing happend

[distant hearth]

then it doesnt work or you did it wrong, or the dino weights are wrong ,
i presume you are on ark evolved right and trying to add maewings to extinction

[brisk thunder]

yes exe maewings

[distant hearth]

try with there entry weight a bit higher , modifying spawns is advanced stuff and a pain in the back side

theres likely an easy way to do it with a mod tbh , save u alot hassle

[brisk thunder]

i searched the only one is cross Gen 2 but it also adds shadow mane and etc.

[brisk thunder]

if i set it like this:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_CityCenter_C",
NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Maewing",EntryWeight=1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("MilkGlider_Character_BP_C"))),
NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="MilkGlider_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1)))

will than only Maewings spawn ?

[distant hearth]

no lol , u need to read the link i gave u and understand what the command does,
your dealing with percentages that are a percentage of the total dino spawn for the area. Those are then a percentage of the entire world dino spawns
like i said, its complicated

Did u even dino wipe after you added the command?
then give it a couple hours and check with the list dinos command?

[brisk thunder]

i allways do cheat destroywilddinos

is there a name for the entire extinction map i could add at the "DinoSpawnEntries_CityCenter_C" ?

[distant hearth]

no, each area has its own spawn name
for single player if you want maewings that bad just spawn one in an be done, there the easisest dam things to tame anyway on evolved

[brisk thunder]

can't i edit the cofigurations for the Cross Gen 2 mod and deactivate all the other dinos it should spawn in ?

[distant hearth]

probably. you wud have to read the info for the mod an see if it allows you to do that

[vocal pewter]

Can nitrado servers handle 4 people? The modes we will add are primalfear and eternal.

[lucid solstice]

The minimum is 20

[vocal pewter]

When you say minimum 20, what do you mean? The package price, the number of people, or the number of mods that can be added?

[lucid solstice]

20 people. They don't have 4 person servers

[vocal pewter]

I already know that I will buy a server for 10 people and only 4 people will play.

I just want to know if there is a system difference between the packages.

[lucid solstice]

Not really

@humble thicket

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

[rustic marsh]

Yo guys in ark you got these servers I joined this server and only play this one server but now it’s gone what’s the frickin packet yo?

[delicate schooner]

my unofficial is still not working does anyone have anything that could be done or do i just keep trying to turn it on and waiting

[onyx gyro]

Anyone know why I'm all of a sudden getting the issue of not being able to log into my server unless I uninstall some mods? Says I don't have the free space to update the ones I have been using for almost 2yrs now.

[chrome iron]

is there a mod that allows for placing of structures on the ground?

I have QoL and put in the string to allow for placement w/o a platform/base, but it is not working

[foggy plinth]

What does happen when you try to turn it on and are you self hosting or nitrado?

[delicate schooner]

self hosting on nitrado

[foggy plinth]

Okay so self hosting on nitrado isn't a thing xD Self hosting means if you host the server on your pc and Nitrado is just that you get a server from them

[delicate schooner]

nitrado sorry i read it wrong

[foggy plinth]

Alr so Nitrado is having some DDoS attack problems lately and one thing i would recommend if the server isn't starting is to open a ticket.

[delicate schooner]

its been of since 3am 2/27 so ill probably have to

[foggy plinth]

Bc no one will be able to help you her then nitrado themself or better said there support.

[delicate schooner]

gotcha

[foggy plinth]

It doesn't boot or like it starts but gets into a loop and doesn't start?

[delicate schooner]

its been off the whole time, its my friends unfortunately so i dont have all the details i was just trying to get some insight

but i think it loops

[foggy plinth]

Yea gotta write the support 👍 Just open a ticket and they will help you guys

[delicate schooner]

hopefully so thank yu

[celest halo]

hmmm new server update no patch notes for it 😂

[lunar raven]

Anyone know how to transfer tames from one map to the next. I'm on different maps and want to bring some tames from The Center to Astraeos on Xbox

[celest halo]

and now a steam client update 🤣

[celest halo]

they just released and other client update 😂

[boreal widget]

are servers still down? i cant access mine still

[frank python]

yea idk so do you need to play steam on steam or epic on epic for ark ase, all im reading is this so idk

[verbal fossil]

Anyone how to solve the “not logged in error”

[tepid berry]

Close out of steam and restart it worked for me.

[verbal fossil]

Still didn’t work it keep showing “player 1” on the Corner

[grim sinew]

did you log out of steam or just close it?

[verbal fossil]

Tbh I tried both even deleted the cache data and it still isn’t working

Idk where to get help

[jaunty vortex]

yes, just noticed too. Updating, looks like 61.44

[idle dragon]

Has anyone got this massage before and know what mod it is?

Server hitch detected: Dynamic_Loot_c(296 ms)

[toxic hazel]

Anyone know of a work around for server failing to contact CF through the API? seems to work intermittently at the moment
It helps if I add more CF endpoints to my host file but it start occuring again and removing the extra endpoints makes it good again, a endless cycle haha

[narrow heron]

Hi, what kind of specs would I need for a dedicated ASE server

For 5 or less people

[leaden cedar]

Hello, do you have a solution for the game freezing or even crashing every time an explorer note is opened?

[tender forge]

I changed my rates for breeding and the server is still doing the small tribe rates. Is this because I have it selected as apply small tribe settings in the Nitrado drop down menu?

[celest halo]

More then likely that setting makes it use the small tribes dynamic config, so anything in that would override any ini settings you make

[tender forge]

Ok I’ll try that
Thanks a bunch again 😊

[river solar]

Are you on Steam or Epic? I want to learn how to crossplay with Steam users.

[elder hill]

Okay so got 3 servers now, how would I go abouts clustering them 3 together?

[boreal widget]

what server provider do you use?

[dense mica]

Normally you just join a server with cross play enabled. So if a server allows steam and epic users to play with each other they can

[elder hill]

my own PC mate

[boreal widget]

oof idk how to help you then my bad pimp

[ebon shoal]

Like my fps is floating above 70+ fps but the problem is that when I look around or move, it feels a bit delayed. Does anyone know how to fix?

[elder hill]

the games just a buggy mess, DLSS is broken same as FSR

[abstract bridge]

does anyone know if the ASE .ini files for dinoclassdamagemultiplier and containerspawnentry work on ASA? I'm not having any luck with getting the changes to implement.

[broken stream]

Hello, can unnoficial server remove love ascended mod safely without loose item from this mods?

[lyric nimbus]

can anyone help me with my server i need someone to just try to join it trough steam so that i kow if the problem is that i have the game on epic games?

[humble thicket]

how many servers will a 128gb of ram windows system be able to host?

[lyric nimbus]

On average, an ARK server uses around 6-10 or 12 max GB of RAM ,so about 10 top tier servers. i think

[humble thicket]

thanks

[celest halo]

Or 9 if using windows 🤣

[humble thicket]

well, windows on a 128gb of ram now. i think it would do 10 ASA servers comfortably no?

[celest halo]

If 10 ASA each use 12gb ram that's 120 only leaves windows 8gb, we all know windows likes more then that 🤣

My math way off 🤣

[distant hearth]

windows will use what it can but will also scale back if need be right down to like 2gb

what most forget is that server ram useage depends on player count, mods, etc

[celest halo]

Math works now if they all use the max 12gb ram

[celest halo]

And map, have seen some use closer to 15gb 😂

[distant hearth]

oh yea an that 🙂

i imagine astreaous is gonna be greedy when its fully done

[celest halo]

Yeah I haven't check to see what that's using

[distant hearth]

no idea, works crazy busy , barely get chance to do much other than work, eat sleep lol

[celest halo]

Just checked my Astraeos map with no one on it right now is at 11.5gb

[humble thicket]

that was my thought too. we are having a 20-30 +/- players at peak times cross 7 servers. no mods.

[distant hearth]

yea go with an average of 10gb per map shud be ok

they seem to idle down there ram useage after a while if no one on them

[humble thicket]

any experience with intel xeon e5 cpus? i know the i7 can handle it very well, but never had xeon e5

[distant hearth]

no sorry, but usual applies id guess, go fo r the best you can afford its an old cpu now some of the really old ones i imagine wud struggle with there lower speeds

[last magnet]

I have an Xeon e5

[humble thicket]

yea im trying to see what would be the best. i7 with 128gb, i9 with 128gb or xeon e5 with 256gb

[humble thicket]

running asa on windows server 2022?

[last magnet]

win10 Pro

[humble thicket]

in my case i will need to run in vm on windows 10

[last magnet]

I'd go with the i9, but I'd look fro a motherboard that can handle higher max RAM

my current setup lets me max at 256 but I'm limited by the cores.

but also I'm not running it to have a lot of players, maybe 5 at most, usually just one

[humble thicket]

ah you have your own hardware? in my case, i am renting the servers

[last magnet]

yep, Precision 5810 in my office nook, I remote in via my laptop

[humble thicket]

ah oki. are you using any of those ark server managers?

[last magnet]

ASA Dedicated Server Manager, I use it bc it's easy to manage mods

I like mods, lol.

[humble thicket]

Do you cluster using this? Or is a single server?

[last magnet]

Cluster, I have the officials + five mod maps. I don't run all of them at once, just 1 + Club Ark

like I said this is basically for me to play Ark w/o the limitations of SP

and I'm not dependent on someone else

the tribe I was playing with, they're playing other games like Helldivers and PoE

[humble thicket]

i understand, i will have a look at the ASA dedicated server manager, it seems a promising piece of software

thanks alot for the exchange

[last magnet]

no problem

[potent steeple]

@winged bolt u there

[winged bolt]

no

[potent steeple]

Plus Iove your sever u did

@winged bolt I need help

How do I make ammo box for my turrets

[winged bolt]

[potent steeple]

@winged bolt I made take my bad

I’m on Asa

[potent steeple]

Thank u

[potent steeple]

Is the sever I’m on a no whipe

@low haven can u dm me

[storm pivot]

I need help, it won't let me enter official or unofficial servers with mods, they won't download and I can't download them manually

[languid plank]

if i add the power rangers mod to my server will everyone have to buy it? or can they join and download the assets so they see the skins without having to buy it?

[distant hearth]

power rangers is a custom cosmetic mod, it never gets added to the server . client side only, then its upto the client if they want to see the skins or not

[languid plank]

well, sometimes they see it and sometimes they dont

[heavy depot]

i need some help, im new to ark and i created procedural world but now i dont know how to get the original map back.

[distant hearth]

client gets to choose if they want see it or not , some might have it turned off

[languid plank]

i understand what you are saying. whats happening is that someone is loading in and they can see the skin, an hour later they wont see the cosmetic. they didnt log off or anything

[distant hearth]

no idea , try #bobs-with-probs as there isnt anything you can do sever side, adding the mod will just crash the server till you remove it

[storm pivot]

I need help, it won't let me enter official or unofficial servers with mods, they won't download and I can't download them manually

[inland spruce]

Hello, my friend and I are trying to play Ark: Survival evolved, we are trying to create a non-dedicated server, but it turns out that we cannot connect. Would anyone know the reason?

We get a message that tells us that it is connecting to the server, but after a minute, an alert appears that indicates time expired

[potent steeple]

I need help

[wise kindle]

Same.
My latte whip gets cold waaay too fast.

[quick narwhal]

Does anyone know how to lower the imprint timer for ark ascended unofficial?

[humble sequoia]

Game.ini add the line BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=2.0 (halves the imprint time, bigger number = smaller wait its weird)

[river solar]

Thanks for the answer. I was thinking of hosting though, sorry for not been specific. I have tried reading about this with mixed messages. Some sources say that it should work by enabling crossplay through some console, but others report that it wont work. I was wondering if someone else was on Epic and has successfully created a way to play with Steam friends.

[pure haven]

quite opposite - 2 will double, 0.5 will halve it. its interval multiplayer, increasing interval will make it longer

[humble sequoia]

💀 whoops, havent set the thing in a while lmao

[quick narwhal]

Thank u

[dense mica]

Yea if I remember correctly it’s normally on by default for steam and epic but console you would need to enable it

[wanton wasp]

Does anyone here know any tamable alphas mod for new ark mobile? I can't find any, pls help

[static surge]

Hello guys im trying to make a solo survival, the problem is that my tamed dinos are super strong compared to wild dinos and I don’t comprehend the settings enough to fix it, anyone got an idea how or why ? (My raptor does 180 and a wild rex does 40)

[rare knot]

Anyone got some good imprint and breed settings for 100% imprint on singleplayer with quick mature speed?

[bleak trout]

Im Not sure why but I keep having connection issues with my nitrado server im setting up. Any ideas?

[river solar]

I tried before writing this. Steam friend could not find my server.

[real meteor]

Hello good afternoon guys... I'm having problems to activate the VoIP of ark ASE and I've done everything... does anyone know the correct step to fix this

Right... When you press B and hold the voice is not coming out
My server is cross platform Steam and Epic I use the options "globalVoiceChat=False proximityChat=False" and use "-UseVivox" initialization argument So far nothing working !!
I'm using an Ubuntu server but the same happens on windows

[humble thicket]

Hey, I made a sever but it will not let me connect to the host... I have restarted the server and troubleshooted everything Nitrado suggested, anyone know a fix?

[dense mica]

Oh then it should be a check box option in nitrado somewhere to toggle it

[river solar]

From what i understand nitrado is a service for servers? I try just want my friend to be able to join my single player server somehow. I dont want to buy a server service.

[river solar]

It says that i can run a dedicated server for Epic and steam players in some forums. Can you help me sort out whats what?

[celest halo]

Steam and epic ASE can do crossplay on a non-dedicated #unofficial-setup-help message

[river solar]

Tyty

[gusty latch]

hey. how can i adjust supply drops on amissa ? beacons wont let me do it on mod maps

[river solar]

Hello, I tried following the instructions, but my friend still does not find me with the "Current IP Address" numbers. Should I use the "name address" or remote port somehow?

[celest halo]

I have no idea, maybe countrybee does. I never ran a non-dedicated

[river solar]

Can you help me, following the instructions did not allow my Steam friend to find my non dedicated session.

[river solar]

One thing that would help is if someone can confirm that they could crossplay at this date.

[olive talon]

Yes, they're crossplay compatible. What do you mean by find you with ip address? They're supposed to go into singleplayer, type open ip:port, not search anywhere with the ip.

[crude cipher]

How do get the starter

[lunar prairie]

Im having some trouble trying to modify the game.ini settings to increase egg hatching and baby maturation times, the game.ini file keeps deleting everything on launch

This is my entire game.ini file
MatingIntervalMultiplier=10
MatingIntervalMultiplier=10
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=10
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=0.2

Anyone have any ideas?

[stuck leaf]

not quite setup, but on my server, is there a reason i cant place tesla coils in/near island ice cave, but heavys are fine? tesla just get "cant place structure here"

[waxen robin]

is there a way to disable photo mode on pvp servers?

[frank python]

how do i play single player - and host a non dedicated?

[swift lynx]

Every time I go to play Ark Ascended on PS5, it black screens me 2-3 times or more before it lets me into the server we rent. It also kicks me constantly. We play on the Island and it gives me these issues and makes the game very unplayable.

[tender forge]

Are Nitrado servers normally this laggy or do I need to upgrade the server? It’s got 5 people on it currently with a ping over 200

[silk mist]

Hello, has anyone bought a server from Ultahost?

[rain pond]

Im running a server via Nitrado, i personally dont own bobs tall tails but can other players use this in my server even though i dont own this add on??

[delicate schooner]

yes they can my friend hosts a server without it and im able to use it having owned it

[obsidian oxide]

Anyone know the best HDR settings for use with HDR QD-OLED monitor? 😒

[river solar]

Sorry for my wording. We tried the option from single player and it did not connect. After that we tried adding it through the Interface as listed as options in the website you linked. That is why I said no match.

If you are on Steam, maybe i can try it with you or someone else who knows and update the message with the things that noobs like me do not understand.

[atomic pollen]

food drain question (ark ascended) is there a mod, command, or UI adjustment that will affect only tamed dinos vs dinos being tamed, essentially im looking for the ability to slow down food drain on tamed dinos while keeping wild or "being tamed" dinos the same as vanilla

[stuck leaf]

not quite setup, but on my server, is there a reason i cant place tesla coils in/near island ice cave, but heavys are fine? tesla just get "cant place structure here"

[grand plover]

Hey so I’m looking at setting up my own cluster server for me and a couple friends anyone know how to do it? Or have any recommendations

[rich kiln]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
There is a setting called TamedDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier but it isn't sure if it is compatible for ASA, it doesn't say it isn't. Maybe worth a try. Should be placed in Game.ini.

[grand plover]

Also would like to add some mods to the servers if that’s possible

[rich kiln]

Idk about clusters but mods should be in the starting line of the .bat file. Should be placed at the end as "-mods=<modidfromcurseforge>,modidfromcurseforge

This is my starting line:

start server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe Extinction_WP?listen?SessionName=<sessionname>?ServerPassword=<serverpassword>?ServerAdminPassword=<adminpassword> -Port=7777 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=5 -NoBattlEye -mods=929728,949623,953154,939874 -servergamelog -NoTransferFromFiltering

Hope that helps @grand plover

Mods should be from curseforge

[rich kiln]

Had this issue too. But I got it now. There is a line you MUST add above all settings in Game.ini. This: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

Make sure that all settings belong in Game.ini and are not written in GameUserSettings

To make sure the settings are in the right place, use this: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

Also make sure the settings are written correctly

[grand plover]

Kinda I’m assuming I’ve to type that into the commands in game?

I’m shit with technology

[rich kiln]

Did you already install ark dedicated server throuht steamcmd?

[grand plover]

I’m on ps5

[rich kiln]

After that you need to have a .bat file that starts the server with chosen parameters

[rich kiln]

Oh...

[grand plover]

Is it gonna be possible to do on console?

[rich kiln]

Dedicated servers can only be installed in a pc since it is a different program than ark itself

[wise kindle]

You need a pc to host an Ark dedi homie

[grand plover]

Ah was told I could do it with nitrando

Or is that gonna be the same story?

[rich kiln]

if you wanna pay

[rich kiln]

nitrado hosts like a normal person, on a pc running a program allowing people to join

Nitrado isn't better than hosting your own other than security reason and server availability

[wise kindle]

You can, but you have to setup thru Nitrado. Nothing needs to happen to your PS configuration for that to happen.

Hosting your own is best tho you need a pc to do it. You cant use a PS for hosting a dedi.

[grand plover]

Damn I don’t even own a pc can I do it off my phone?

[rich kiln]

no

[celest halo]

You get better server availability when you don't use Nitrado

[rich kiln]

true but I shut my own dedi down at night.

[celest halo]

Lest that's your choice, and not Nitrado Just randomly says na you can't connect anymore try again in a few hours 🤣

[lunar prairie]

Tysm that worked

[rich kiln]

Glad it helped

[sharp vapor]

yall why do i such low lvl dinos when my diffucualty is at max?

[olive talon]

#unofficial-setup-help message

[sharp vapor]

im already here....

[wise kindle]

Maxdifficulty=false
Or you are stuck with max 150

[olive talon]

That's a message link in this channel. Not telling you to "go to this channel".

[sharp vapor]

highest weve seen is 60 and that was RARE

[sharp vapor]

oh..

[olive talon]

Regardless, depending on map, low levels will always be more common than higher levels.

The message I linked explains this.

[wise kindle]

Maxdifficulty locks you at single player settings which are very low.
So you need to set that to false and then do a wild dino wipe.

[sharp vapor]

whats the commands?

[wise kindle]

Cheat destroywilddinos

[sharp vapor]

and false one?

[wise kindle]

Maxdifficulty=false

Btw these are all things you can google.

Its not hidden information

[sharp vapor]

im still getting low lvls?

[wise kindle]

Go to a different area off the beach

[pure haven]

thats not true. highest diff in single player is 4 which sets you to 120 max lvl and Maxdifficulty=true force it to diff 5 with max lvl of 150. with Maxdifficulty=false you get 120 max lvl

[pure haven]

what you looking for is level distribution which different based on the map and cant be changed with ini configs. story maps always gonna have a lot of low lvl dinos and rare high lvlvs spawns. you need to use mods that alter it like Custom Dino Levels

[sharp vapor]

is there a way he can give me admin command acces?
