[wise kindle]

alrighty then, as long as he gets the help he needs. My point was that maxdif needs changed to false.

[sharp vapor]

we found the color dino command and are obsessed rn

[atomic pollen]

thank you

[sharp vapor]

is there a way my friend can give me admin command acces?

[stuck wigeon]

Using OVH to host a server. Installed the epic security certificate, port forwarded the ports correctly, and the OVH firewall is even disabled yet my server won't show up. Anyone run into this?

I've ran many different servers in the past so I do know the ins & outs of things. Never ran into this issue before. Can't even direct connect to it.

[swift lynx]

Hello can someone help me troubleshoot. 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. Nothing consistently helps, I restart the server and my system several times usually. It also kicks me constantly. We play on the Island and it gives me these issues and makes the game very unplayable.

[past surge]

@swift lynx go to an afishol map make a carikter walk arawnd for a cuple minets log out of the afishol and go to the unofishol that you want to play should lode you in the ferst time.

[novel basin]

So i to get boost codes for our server. We was paying a sub for it but now we dont get the boost code option at all for the server?

[olive talon]

A nitrado server? If so, contact nitrado

[main depot]

Is there a way to turn off the feature so that nothing happens without rendering? There is currently a great bug that makes playing relatively pointless (recalculating the unrendered time is incorrect - when breeding). I would just like to play Ark intensively again.

[jaunty vortex]

Only if you have a dedicated server.

[olive talon]

PC is usually synonymous with laptop

Dragon just means that consoles specifically cannot host dedicated servers for ASA

[spiral gorge]

hello its my first time on ark , i trying to settings the stats for xp , baby etc can anyone help me please ? or have a copy that i can use please ?

[olive talon]

@humble thicket known issue, file #bug-reports, and has nothing to do with server setup help.

[humble thicket]

Thks I report

[arctic mica]

I usually just enable singleplayer settings, breeding is fast, less xp needed to level, taming is quicker but not too fast

[spiral gorge]

yeah but idk what to put numbers and so on

[elfin forum]

Hey guys, little question: which line must i script exectly where to unlock engrams inclusive tekgrams on an nitrado server and how save is it?

[tranquil kelp]

hello, wondering if anyone else is having this issue. on my server the babies all stop growing when nobody is online. oddly enough, their imprint timer still continues to go down. i can't find any sort of "pause when nobody is oflline setting". any ideas?

[arctic mica]

Just leave it on 1x, singleplayer settings option will scale it all

Maybe set harvest to 2x

[sharp vapor]

why do i keep teleporting back in the air and tp flying when i jump or get of a dino

[wise kindle]

you sound like you are desynced. A relog usually fixes it

[sharp vapor]

ill try

didnt work

[wise kindle]

do you have really high movement speed?

[sharp vapor]

its at base

[wise kindle]

yes, but does your character have really high movement speed?

[sharp vapor]

not rlly

its at base...

[wise kindle]

No idea then tbh.

[tough escarp]

Anyone else having a heck of a time getting Astraeos to even start up? It is just stuck in a restart loop. I put in a ticket to Nitrado and they fixed it, but it isn't actually fixed-

[spiral gorge]

i have a gtx platform , i would like maybe 2x xp , 3x farming , and x10 dinosaur grow and so on..

or kinda similar

[verbal oracle]

So my friend group wants to play ark again ( 7 people) they're on xbox and im on PC if i host a non dedicated would we have to deal with host barrier?

[bleak ivy]

if you are on steam then you can't do a non-dedi to xbox.
non-dedi is not crossplay unless you are PC xbox to xbox.

also 7 people on a non-dedi is crazy.

[verbal oracle]

Im going to use the windows

[bleak ivy]

PC xbox should work but 7 people is a lot for non-dedi

[verbal oracle]

I dont expect all of them on at once. Im expecting average of 4. I could run dedicated but I won't be able to play though

[bleak ivy]

are you ASE?

[brave rune]

Hello everyone i have a problem i need some help with setting up a server for me and a few friends if its possible contact me to help me out thank you in advance (we are all in ase )

[verbal oracle]

Yes

[umbral carbon]

Game keeps crashing as soon as I get in, on Xbox, every is up to date

[bleak ivy]

then yeah, unless you got a second PC/xbox. non-dedi would be the only option.

[verbal oracle]

Would i be able to remove the host barrier or atleast make it really far

[bleak ivy]

only through a dedicated server. non-dedi always has the tether and only steam/epic ASE can change it will still pull into caves, boss arenas, and sometimes randomly (load points)

[verbal oracle]

Im fine with it pulling to arenas and caves but i want to be able to extend so we can play at most of the map is that possible?

[bleak ivy]

not on PC xbox/console xbox. tether can't be changed.

a series X host is bigger tho I believe. some maps like the island have it big enough for the entire thing

think its, one X/PC xbox 50% bigger. and series X(10x bigger) not sure on series S would assume its 50% bigger

[verbal oracle]

The pc tether is smaller than then series X?

[bleak ivy]

yeah, since it doesn't read the PC specs it just has the 50% boost.

afaik anyway. haven't actually tested it in years

[scenic ferry]

anyone experienced in save file manipulation around? I'm getting desparate :c

[bleak ivy]

like editing a save file outside of the game? why?

[scenic ferry]

my save inflated from 100mb to 900. Server wont even start, just eats all the ram then crashes. Last save I have that has the progress I care about is 600mb, launching it is possible, but it keeps bloating up.

[bleak ivy]

mods?

[scenic ferry]

Managarmr Jump Unnerf, Speedy Rhynio, Cryo Sickness Protection, Dragon's Kingdom, Paleo ARK - Evolution | Apex Predators, HUD Stuff Durability

the difference between the 600 and 900mb saves seems to be about 30,000 araneos and some other cave stuff. 600mb only has 3,5k wild total tho

[dark slate]

It always does that, ark goes into stasis and then when you come back it recalculates the time that was missed. Most of the time it means the baby dies of hunger because that is calculated before. Not sure if this is fixed but that's what it used to be. I always cryo babies before leaving.

[bleak ivy]

not sure on those mods. check to see if any are over 6 months since the last update.
I doubt an overspawn would cause that much a file size difference can just dino wipe if its that tho

[languid socket]

why is there like no players in any server on ark steam

[bleak ivy]

ASE is very spread out. use battlemetrics to find an active server.

[humble thicket]

When unofficial server will come pls

[lime matrix]

This game already supports running unofficial servers?

[bleak ivy]

are you talking about mobile?

[next mist]

Does anyone know how I can get the velonasaur engram on astreaso?

[bleak ivy]

what do you mean? ASA doesn't have map specific engrams

[next mist]

The engram isn’t popping up…

Nvm…. It wasn’t popping up for a second

[bleak ivy]

probably the filter being weird happens sometimes.

[barren sorrel]

hey im playing ASE on a private server with friends. we have difficulty set to 5 but so far almost EVERYTHING is in the 5 to 50 rarely 60 range. seen like 1 level 100. have flown all over the map with a spyglass, used killall several times. any help plz?

[bleak ivy]

are you on steam only?

if they are going up by 5 then the settings are correct its just the distribution. the only way to fix that is with a mod like custom dino levels (only for steam on ASE, will block epic from joining)

there is technically a way to do it with ini I think but I have no idea how and its probably a pain if you can't find a copy/paste for it

[barren sorrel]

i have been trying to research this for days, posting here is sort of my final hope, if u or anyone could remember or figure out what the ini edit is i would really appreciate it. the server is being run on a linux server, idk how to ad mods

[bleak ivy]

if everybody is on steam then that is going to be easier to do.

[barren sorrel]

i just want same expirence as official servers u know?

[bleak ivy]

officials have to deal with the bad distribution.

[barren sorrel]

i have over 8k hours in ase and 4k in asa

[bleak ivy]

I highly suggest using custom dino levels it just effects that.

[barren sorrel]

i can see level 100s all voer the place in both

on official servers

[bleak ivy]

its all RNG

if the dinos are going up by 5s then its the same as officials.

[barren sorrel]

rigth now if u get onto ur fav asa official server and do a loop around redwoods u will see at leas3-5 dif dinos of 135+ level

if u check EVERY DINO

im saying on this private server, days of playing and super trying hard to search, only 1 level 100

[bleak ivy]

yeah, its RNG. there is no setting that officials uses to make it better. custom dino levels is how unofficials make it better.

[barren sorrel]

im sorry, i appreciate the help. but u and i are having a failure to communicate, firstly i recognize that that mod can and prob would fix my problem and i may end up using it. but the problem is %110 somehow the spawn rates of higher level things are being nulified

i KNOW thats not supposed to be a thing, im just saying somehow it has occured

i wish i could stream for u, i can go the legth of the whole map and see maybe 1 lv 90 something

everything else almost always below 30

[bleak ivy]

what levels are the dinos going up by?

[barren sorrel]

its increments of 5

and i KNOW that should mean shit is working

thats legit what i told my firend when we set up the server

but there is def something wrong

we are well past the "wondering if something is wrong" phase

I JUST WENT DOWN A RIVER AND CHECKED 23 DIF DINOS

all under 15, did not mean to caps

[barren sorrel]

tek dinos i have seen though with any increment

like 38 or 56

also no land alphas at all

only water

[bleak ivy]

tek dinos are just different. they should go up by 6s instead.

[bleak ivy]

if you are getting 0 land dinos then yeah something is wrong lol. could be event related. make sure you disable them.

[barren sorrel]

0 alphas on land, only getting alphas in water

[bleak ivy]

alphas are just rare.

[barren sorrel]

lmao i know how rare they should be

but me looping the whole island several tiems with sevral killalls commands

clearly something is wrong

[bleak ivy]

do you mean destroywilddinos?

[barren sorrel]

yah

[bleak ivy]

make sure you are doing "cheat destroywilddinos"

[barren sorrel]

it kills everything

[gusty fractal]

All these free mods. I feel lost in the forest trying to find mods that work on our unofficial map. Is there a way to find out what works what doesn't besides downloading, logging in and seeing no mods in my cosmetics? Over and over

[gentle niche]

how do i add new mods to a cluster? i've added the mod id to both of my bat files but it says mods failed to install, is there a different way to do it for clusters vs single server?

[gentle niche]

anyone? please 🙏

[jaunty vortex]

Post your bat files

[gentle niche]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?SessionName="xxxx"?ServerPassword=xxxxx?ServerAdminPassword="xxxx" -winlivemaxplayers=25 -Port=7778 -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -NoBattleEye -Mods=941145,931874,928708,935408,930391,930494,931266,929785,933447,933731 -clusterid="xxxxx"
all those mods were before i created the cluster, started on the island and just copied the bat, changed map name etc and added the clusterid
i just want to add a new mod

[jaunty vortex]

Are you running it on Windows Server? Any errors about talking to curseforge?

[gentle niche]

Yes windows server, steamCMD, just says some mods failed to install and the server window closes

[jaunty vortex]

I think you might be falling foul of the certificate issue between Windows Server and curseforge.

[gentle niche]

What does that mean?

[jaunty vortex]

It’s not talking to curseforge.

I run my servers on straight windows 11 so I’ve not experienced this. But I’m aware that the encryption certificates on Windows Server can expire

[gentle niche]

i just tried it on a new server (not in cluster) and it installed fine :S

what do you mean straight windows 11?

[jaunty vortex]

Windows 11 Pro. Not Windows Server edition.

[gentle niche]

it just installed fine on a non clustered server though :S im so confused 😦

[nimble loom]

Hey guys, I have a problem with an ARK Survival Evolved server on the Xbox Series S, crossplay is on on the server but I can't find it, but everyone on the PC can... Can anyone help me?

[gentle niche]

how would you normally add new mods, just add the mod id to all bat files in cluster? is there something in any of the ini files that needs to changed for clusters or something, if it works on a non clustered server i dont get why it wont on my clustered ones 😦

[supple urchin]

Any unofficial servers having any issues with characters getting corrupted and lost, or kicked from their tribe since the last update?

[jaunty vortex]

Yes. Pretty much. Add the mod id to the comma separated list.

[supple urchin]

It's happening non stop for us

[gentle niche]

just says some mods failed to install, just made an abberation server outside of the cluster and it installed, i just dont get it 😦

[pure haven]

do you use same server folder for all your maps in cluster?

i dont see you use clusterdiroverride

[gentle niche]

Not necessary for ascended i was told

[pure haven]

its not necessary but recommended

same for not using same server for all maps in cluster

if you can install mods fine on a fresh server just put your saves and setting there and use it instead of old one

[gentle niche]

Sorry i dont know what you mean

[pure haven]

does all your start bat files use same path for server? or you have separate servers folders for each map?

[gentle niche]

same folder, i rarely have more than one running at a time, only on the occasion where i transfer

no issues thus far

[pure haven]

then just use a fresh server with your saves and settings

if it allows you to install mods fine on it

[nimble silo]

hi. what would be most inavasiv way to add to server to let players go from 105 to 135. like adding level lines meeseed up server :P, and lines like: bSkipAscension=true that chat gpt offers and no found anywhere when you google world. just if its possible lien or two or somthing that would let everyone on server just normal level to 135 even without kill bosses, tnx in advance

[arctic mica]

hi, i'm struggling to get more gigas to spawn on the island with "ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer" this is the last one i tried:

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMountain_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="GigaMountains",EntryWeight=1000.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Gigant_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Gigant_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.25)))

any suggestions? 😅

[pure haven]

first - giga spawn container is hardcoded and cant be changed with ini configs so you gotta add them to different spawn container or use more gigas and carchas spawn mod.

second - that code line is wrong if you in ASA. for asa you need to use full blueprint path instead of class names. you better use beacon omni tool for editing spawn container or look how original spawn container for gigas look like in asa.

[arctic mica]

that is a different spawn container? but will try full blueprint path! 🤞

[pure haven]

oh yeah sorry i didnt notice that, thought you tried to edit original giga spawner. yeah then you just need to use bp path instead of class names. also if you take info from wikis its most likely outdated for asa. dont forget to add _C at the end of bp path as well

[simple ledge]

So I'm playing ASA now, and I'm hosting a dedicated server. However, since I hosted Extinction_WP, I'm getting this weird thing with logging in, and I seem to be the only one (and the only one that runs admin stuff sometimes)

I log into the server and the console states "incoming request from ..."
after which it states "User has joined the ark"
Then after a little while, I'm still in loading screen and the server states "User has left the ark"
After this my loading screen finishes, I am ingame, and naked with no equipment and inventory or structures around me.
After a minute or so, I get kicked out with "lost connection to the host" message.

Then I log in again, and it's all good...

What's up with this?
Didn't have this before...

[arctic mica]

It worked! Thank you very much 😄

[lunar prairie]

I just had this weird issue happen and now the server wont start up, me and another person were about to knock out an argie when the entire server stopped responding properly. Im pretty sure it wasnt lag, the argie kept flying in a straight line like lag but our characters were synced and so was the text chat.

do I just have to revert to an autosave?

[wise kindle]

If its not responding thats a pretty good way to get it back.

Use the General tab > "Start with" option and choose a save.
Then hit SAVE and hit start.

You may have to try a couple save files before you find one that works. Not all saves are valid.

[lunar prairie]

its a dedicated server on a seperate machine

but yeah ill just swap out the save file

[wise kindle]

ohnvm I thought this was Nitado. I'll show myself out.

[lunar prairie]

I think I can just rename the autosave to the same as the current save and it should load?

[wise kindle]

yes that should work

[lunar prairie]

ty ill try that

Can you get rid of the cosmetic items on respawn?

I figured it out ty though

[simple ledge]

Sending unsolicited friend requests is however not something I'd condone as an "experienced Ark developer"
But hey, whatever floats your goat..

[wise kindle]

he got banned lol

[simple ledge]

🤣 nice

[wise kindle]

obvious scammer so yeah, easy to pick out of the crowd

[simple ledge]

I mean if you wanna scam, don't flaunt? 🤣

[wise kindle]

Seriously

[olive forge]

I thought the -mods entry was supposed to be set last. Might give that a try.

[jaunty vortex]

I don’t have it last.

[lunar prairie]

I picked the easiest thing that requires 0 server knowledge, its just a setting you gotta turn off

anyone legit would just tell you that in chat

[simple ledge]

Meanwhile, I refer to my previous question, and add another question.

Secondary question.
I have the Astraeos DLC, but I cannot find it in my dedicated server settings. Do I have to add a mod for it? How does that work?

[wise kindle]

This is being experienced by everyone, or almost everyone tbh. Looks to be a game bug.

The DLC is a seperate download. I am unsure how it is handled on selfhost tho.

[simple ledge]

Thanks for the info about the connection stuff.

The DLC I'd have to look up further, because I have it on my local game, I bought the DLC and downloaded it... But I'll give it a check on the server later with a support ticket or something

[solid sparrow]

any advice on making a cluster show all servers/maps on cloud gaming thru the xbox app? Thru steam i see the whole cluster but on my 2ndary account thru the xbox app I can just see the island 😦

[fiery kraken]

can someone help?
When I try to load up Ark Ascended I got a fatal error and had to attach a debugger but it still didn't load. I tried to reinstalling the game which got rid of the fatal error but it just goes straight to black screen please help i have been trying to fix this for a while now trying multiple methods but none of them worked.

[violet tide]

I'm running a server and we are getting "Server Hitch Detected" messages. Is there any way to either turn this error off so that not everyone sees it, or fix whatever's causing it?

[humble thicket]

anybody knows a command to give a player a disease?

[solid wasp]

hey does anybody know why the start mission button is shaded in gen2 ?

[royal epoch]

How Do i increase dino cap lvl on our servers?it caps out at level 999

i cant seem to find the setting to override it

i use asn and set dino max xp 10,000,000,000

but still caps at level 999

[oblique pond]

Having the same issue no creatures on any upper area that has an area below it. Has it been like it since launch because that is horrid if so

[fierce timber]

I've had it for a long, long time. If not at launch, very shortly thereafter. And because it seems to be a bug that somehow doesn't affect everybody for whatever reason, it still hasn't gotten fixed. I can assure you if it was affecting everybody + officials, it would have been patched by now, or at the very least acknowledged by WC that they're looking into a fix.

In the most recent past few ASA game builds, now ZERO creatures spawn into brand new Aberration SP worlds... lol. My favorite story map and I can't even play it due to these gamebreaking issues.

I've tested across Unofficial Nitrado server, unofficial self-hosted server, and SP with zero mods and default settings, and the spawn issue is consistent across all 3.

[oblique pond]

I've just tested on official and as far as I can see the creatures aren't spawning up high here either unless I'm getting very unlucky which seems crazy how nobody seems to be talking about it

[fierce timber]

I tried to test on official, but it's hard without admin commands with 0 creatures/etc to get there. That and tons of building spam blocking entire pathways up there for certain places.

[oblique pond]

For the no creatures spawning on singleplayer world enabling a mod flying around a bit then disabling a mod seemed to work for me everything was spawning after

[fierce timber]

But yeah, I even recorded a 10 min video of myself flying around with 0 mods looking at many of the larger affected areas (but not all), in my last bug report.

[oblique pond]

Yeah I found long walkways with no buildings completely devoid of creatures

[fierce timber]

Entire upper green zone + blue zone walkways are devoid of any spawns, entire upper area around portal spawn is devoid, and lots of other smaller areas spread across the entire map

It would be hilarious and par for the course if everybody actually was affected with this spawn bug, officials included, and WC just felt like it wouldn't be worth fixing and still didn't even bother to acknowledge its existence.

There was a time awhile back for a few ASA game builds where creatures started spawning in SP again briefly (but only SP)

Nothing spawned on servers on these same ASA builds

And then when Valentine event happened, I wiped creatures to get event colors/etc, and then the spawn bug was back to being present

[oblique pond]

It's anything (atleast in blue and green zones) that has spawning underneath it.
Which I thought maybe it was doing it on all maps so I checked the center and nope works fine there with the island in the middle creatures still spawn in the water below

[fierce timber]

WC and broken/buggy coding. A tale as old as time.

Rebuilt codebase? Feels more like they copy/pasted ASE code and ported into ASA. We even had old ASE bugs reappear that had been long fixed in ASE, IIRC.

Just very frustrating when Ab is my favorite story map, and I can't even play/enjoy it because of the gamebreaking spawn issues. Lol

[oblique pond]

I just can't believe there's a bug that exists this detrimental to a map

[fierce timber]

And that's with setting aside the horrendous performance issues on a game that still doesn't look that great

[oblique pond]

same, I found out after trying to base on a walkway and soon realised nothing was spawning up there with me

[fierce timber]

I can run HZD fully maxed at 80-90+ fps and stuff actually happening, but in ASA I can barely achieve 60 fps when looking at a wall in the structure instance with nothing happening around me.

It's crazy how bad ARK's coders/coding still is. I'll admit some of that is UE5 just being trash for performance all around, to an extent

And the fact they keep delaying the UE 5.4 5.5 engine upgrade/update which should bring some decent performance improvements

I fully expect when we get to 21st/28th that we'll be getting another condescending message about "let us cook... more" or something stupid while the update gets delayed for the 4th/5th+ time now

[oblique pond]

I really wish they didn't use UE5 for this every game I've played on it runs like dog shit

[fierce timber]

Even better dev teams/coders potentially struggle with it, and then you take the coders/devs who made the most infamous game in history for performance issues in ASE... lol

[bleak ivy]

remember to stay ontopic. #ark-survival-ascended or #general for general comments.

[fierce timber]

It's a recipe for disaster

Yeah, my bad. Got into the convo. I'll move elsewhere.

[bleak ivy]

I do it too topics flow sometimes.

[fierce timber]

But in regards to SP/server, I do hope WC devs finally look at the numerous bug reports and actually look into the spawn issues

Been around for months and months and can't even play my favorite map on server or SP due to gamebreaking spawn issues

[jaunty vortex]

There are tools to convert from unreal 4 to 5. Feels like that’s what happened with the maps at least? Why do bees get stuck in cliffs on The Island, for example?

[fierce timber]

Oh yeah, bees are also broken on ASA too

Just restarting (if on an unofficial server) or exiting and re-entering (SP) removes all current bee hives.

Instead of keeping them around like all other creatures

[bleak ivy]

thats probably intentional to help with dino wiping. since bee hives can't be wiped normally (tho the bees in it die)

I don't believe the command works anymore to wipe hives

[fierce timber]

I mean, then why doesn't it also respawn more in then?

[bleak ivy]

because respawning takes time like all dinos

[fierce timber]

Unless I do the specific force-respawn on server boot parameter where it respawns everything (haven't tested in sp but likely the same)

Bees will almost never spawn, or only 1 since everything is already existing/counting against total population

[bleak ivy]

its probably the steps being in the wrong order. so it does the bee wipe after doing the startup spawning of dinos. but with the force-respawn. it respawns them after.

[bleak ivy]

never had that issue with bees on my server they just take time to respawn after a couple hours.

[fierce timber]

Well, seeing as how I've had nothing but problems in ASA on both SP/unofficial, could be one of those that randomly affects some more than others

As if I didn't do the force-wipe to spawn everything brand new

At best there'd be 1-2 (if lucky) bees

Instead of 20-30 like it should be

[bleak ivy]

RNG happens.

20-30? don't think I had that many in ASE lol

[rain pond]

On ASA we are finding that Baby Mature extremely slowly, a mosa takes 6hours, i currently have the setting at 20, any advice how high to go, so to still give time for the imprint process but not be so long in maturing?

[fierce timber]

Whenever I rebooted on Ab server with wipe/respawn parameter it was around low 20s, IIRC

20-24 or something, giving some variance

But if server restarted for mod/server updates, it would go down to 0, and MAYBE within days it'd be lucky to get 1 or 2 at most

[bleak ivy]

have never seen it at 20 lol. even in ASE, at least whenever I checked.

[fierce timber]

It's been too long so yeah, idr what values/numbers were on ASE

But there's 100% something wrong with them to some extent, lol

Although that's whatever. I can deal with low bee spawns. I cannot deal with actually no creatures spawning into my Ab world. xD

[robust nymph]

Will dreadnaughtus taming ever be fixed? The dinos that spawn during the taming process don't move.

Make as a tame that should be tricky, to easyn

[austere echo]

Is there currently a bug in the game that causes characters to glitch in and out of the floor while walking when on a raft or platform saddle that has structures on it? Or is this just something that’s maybe going on on my end?

[urban pelican]

anyone ever have this happen: Admin spawned dinos (SDF commands) when they are cyropoded and thrown back out a stat changes, for example the melee goes up by 40% and stays that way? my understanding that this is normal

[simple island]

Hello there, im hosting on my seconde pc ark server on the island yesterday was everthing fine. But i just turned the pc on and i cant mount anye dino now on my server can somebody tell me whats worng ?

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

[solid wasp]

could there be any reason i cant start any mission or is it a bug or something

[steep field]

Is there any mod to prevent dino stasis? So that dinos breed/raise while noone is around?

[wise kindle]

You are under level?
You are on an unofficial with missions disabled?
You are too many ppl for the mission?
Couple reasons

[solid wasp]

i was solo trying this and at 102 levels

its a local server that my friend runs

[wise kindle]

Look up the requirements for that mission and make sure they are met

[solid wasp]

i did try that but no matter what i cant start any of the missions

[wise kindle]

Otherwise ask your buddy if he can run them himself.

[solid wasp]

i did and he also cant

[wise kindle]

Lol then his server is messed up

[solid wasp]

should i try checking up the server settings config ?

[wise kindle]

There are settings that disable missions.
A search for “ark server config missions” should bring up some settings to check.

[solid wasp]

ok thanks for that

have a nice day

[orchid escarp]

Can I delete or extend the spoiling time for one special item in the game ini?

[distant hearth]

no, spoil timers are a global setting unfortuneately

[solid wasp]

i couldnt find the disable mission setting can you help me out?

[lunar prairie]

Is ARK server manager trustworthy?

[viscid sequoia]

Anyone else with a Nitrado Server who can't connect getting Unknown Error ?

[simple ledge]

I really can't find information on this anywhere.
Does anyone here know how I can get the Astraeos DLC map to run on a dedicated server?
All map options listed in the dedicated server are:
Island_WP
Center_WP
ScorchedEarth_WP
Abberation_WP
Extinction_WP

[frank python]

Hey yall how does going to a new map in non dedicated work? Like you pur your character in the obelisk and then swap, but can thr other person do that too?

[simple ledge]

What do you mean "the other person"?
Usually this is just go to an obi, upload character, go to new map, download character at character select/customization.
If you can do this in a server, so can any other player in that server...

[frank python]

I was just wondering in non dedicated if it worked any different

[simple ledge]

Shouldn't, but idk, don't do non-dedi 😅

[bleak ivy]

for the most part no, just make sure that only the host uploads dinos.

[frank python]

But she could swap her character yea?

[bleak ivy]

should be able to. non-dedi just uses singleplayer uploads that should include the survivor.

[frank python]

Thank you

[red juniper]

Are you using s server manager?

[bleak ivy]

if its a server manager then you have to wait until its updated.
highly highly recommend not using one since they cause many issues.

[silver goblet]

Hi I've got the multi forge on my nitrado server map astraeos. It's making polymer but then it vanishes and it's not going into anything we own very confused please help

[bleak ivy]

check the filter at the bottom of the inventory.

[simple ledge]

No, I'm using the web UI, and vscode to edit the ini files

[olive talon]

Astraeos_WP

Just don't add the Astraeos mod

[simple ledge]

I know the map name, just can't find where to add this in the ini settings, if at all. And I don't know if the webUI overtakes the ini files (which I don't think it does...)

but thanks for confirming the name I found is truth

[olive talon]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

@onyx summit #bobs-with-probs, this channel is for server setup help

[simple ledge]

According to this the only way I can run the mapname is through the commandline, which is what the webUI handles.... I guess I'll have to open a support ticket with the server host then... dangit...

[red juniper]

What webui are you talking about? If its a third party software then they need to update it, i use a server manager and they had to update it to add the astreos map

[silver goblet]

Checked everything no idea what's happening to it 😕

[oblique rover]

Hello, someone else has a problem with the mods on their servers. In plan, models of the mod that do not come out, icons of the same empty/invisible

[urban musk]

Who have nemesis mod

[simple ledge]

From the hosting provider gameunit.pro

[oblique rover]

No

[red juniper]

then they need to update their interface, check if they have a modded maps tab, you should be able to add it as custom map

[sand nebula]

Sorry if this has been asked a lot, but If I have a Nitrado server, can I play Ark Ascended on that server via PC Steam, and my buddy can play it on his PC via xbox, and my third buddy play it on his xbox console? Would we just simply need to input the server info/PW?

[olive talon]

Yes, as long as everyone is playing Ascended. Crossplay is usually automatically enabled, but you can just double check the general tab in your nitrado server settings.

[fast wigeon]

Has anyone else had the issue where on cloud gaming the cluster is not fully showing but on steam and actual consoles it shows fine?

And of course I can't post a photo

[fast wigeon]

Wtf

There we go

My issue

[scenic ferry]

Has there been any solution to "the inflating save file" problem or do I have to roll back to an older backup?
My save went from 40mb to 900 over a couple days where noone played on the server, it just restarted every day. Now the save file is too big for my pc to launch it.

I have a 690mb one that is a little older than the 900, can launch that one but it just keeps growing.

[bleak ivy]

use a backup of the world without any mods. obviously you'll lose mod stuff but if that lowers the size to normal levels its a mod causing it.

[scenic ferry]

ran it without mods and custom cosmetics, no difference I'm afraid :c (also wiped wild)

will have to go back to before we made any progress and make more backups I guess

[bleak ivy]

does it still grow?

[scenic ferry]

yes (any time I launch any of the saves that are 600+mb, it grows a little)

not sure about the very old save I have from way before this started

[bleak ivy]

you can try viewing the save in ASV (ark save visualizer by miragedmuk) and seeing whats actually there.

[scenic ferry]

the 900mb one had like 50k wild dinos, mostly cave stuff. The 600 one only had like 6k though

[bleak ivy]

its most likely not wild dinos. else a destroywilddinos would fix it.

[scenic ferry]

structure count for the whole map is 9405

could it be the fact that we're building in the center underworld?

[humble thicket]

Does anyone know how to adjust the mating speed (like how long the creatures mate for before an egg pops out) on a nitrado server?

[bleak ivy]

doubt where you build matters.

[bleak ivy]

MatingSpeedMultiplier in game.ini

[humble thicket]

Thank you ❤️

Is it higher or lower values that speed up the mating process?

[bleak ivy]

higher is faster

[scenic ferry]

its a shame you cant move structure data to a different save file for the same map, going to have to toss about a week of building because I didnt notice the fie bloat 😦

such is ARK ig

[echo apex]

I'm trying to set up my dedicated server and I've installed steamcmd, made my folders, set up my bat file correctly and this is the stage where it all goes pear shaped. I get thrown some errors saying files are missing and to reinstall, I have now twice reinstalled and still having the same problems anyone have any solutions to help?

[fast wigeon]

Are your direct messages open or would I need to add you?

Can't share files or links or pics here so

Which btw mods and admins is counter productive to a help channel

Just saying

[lunar prairie]

I just moved my server from one installation to another and when I log in im no longer in the trible I was in

[oblique mantle]

Hello!

I run an Unofficial Server on Ark Ascended, and its a cluster server with almost 500 players in our Discord. Running a cluster server is pretty expensive so I wanted to possibly add a Shop with our own type of currency. The currency can be bought via donations or earned free by Giveaways, weekly /collect-income or Events. With this currency, they can purchase bundles, breeding pairs of dinos, building materials and an event of Harvesting plus.

My question is, if we wanted to include modded dinos in our list for the shop, would that be okay or is that not allowed? Now, nothing would be locked behind a paywall, players are able to get it themselves in-game. But for the convenience of it, they can donate and get that Modded dino rather then searching to tame it or the same with materials itself. Nothing is forcing a player to donate to enjoy the game, more so if they just want an easy way around the pain gathering materials or hunting for a dino.

I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything incorrectly and while searching for the answers online, I have gotten a bunch of mix responses.

[wise kindle]

No.
This is how most cluster owners pay for their server rentals and time maintaining server uptime.
If the rewards are in game and these are donations, its fine.

[oblique mantle]

So I wouldn't get in trouble or have my server taken down due to modded creatures added on our list? Yeah, everything is in-game, we aren't even turning down spawning so players feel forced to donate, its just an option if a player feels lazy or just want to donate to support our server o:

[distant hearth]

you wont get in trouble, its perfectly fine to do that! Alot of the bigger pvp servers have stuff locked behind paywalls. Its unofficial , you pay for the priveledge to have the server how ever you want it to be

[olive talon]

@silver goblet #bobs-with-probs, this is for server setup help

[simple ledge]

Does anyone know of a server manager that can use an externally installed server?
I've got a hosting-service that runs my server, but since the webUI has limited options, I wanted to use a server manager to update various configurations. But so far all managers I've found require it to be installed on the same machine as the server itself (which I get... from an "ease of access" point, but it should be possible. I did something similar with ASE before....)

[oblique mantle]

Okay gotcha, that's what I read too but I just wanted to be sure!

I'd love a mod to confirm as well to help my worry wort head 🥹

[olive talon]

I mean we're just community volunteers, but you're fine to do as you wish with unofficials, as long as you're not breaking Ark's Terms of Service (or if using a server like Nitrado, their ToS). The Code of Conduct only applies to official servers, and like W1ll said, tons of clusters run off of donations and ingame shops for that 🙂

[oblique mantle]

Thank you so much for your response, and ofc everyone else above!

I just wanted to triple make sure 💗

[iron bronze]

Beacon ^^

[simple ledge]

It's just called "Beacon"? I think googling that will be tricky 🤣

Oh that website!

[iron bronze]

It's most probably the most well known server manager for ark...I discovered it about a year ago and I can't imagin being without it now ^^

[jaunty vortex]

It would be abused. People would post all sorts of inappropriate images.

I agree, it’s not ideal but I understand why.

[simple ledge]

How do you switch maps with Beacon?

Because the "Servers" section has a "build config for: " portion that states does not change the map 😅 and I can't find it anywhere else

[pure haven]

Export allows you to get ini configs and command lines configs. map can only be changed if you have access to command line. paid version of beacon allows you to export settings to nitrado server

[simple ledge]

What do you mean "have access to command line"? Not the console from RCOn or in-game admin console right?
I don't have a nitrado server, but using the SFTP stuff from my hosting-service.
I'm not sure how to access the commandline of the hosting-service...

[pure haven]

each server have a startup command line which start a server. thats where map name and other things like mods and ports go. while some of it can be changed with ini commands, things like maps can only be changed in server start bat. if you using hostings those usually dont give you full access to any servers command lines

[simple ledge]

Ah, fair enough! I'll have a look if I have access to a .bat file, if not then I'll have to wait until they finally reach back to me (6 days so far)

[rich kiln]

Will WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier work in ASA? The wiki doesn't know if it's compatible but some other multipliers work where the wiki also says it unknown.

[hasty valley]

do you have to do something special for players to be able to learn the maeguana saddle from a standard/included ASA map, i.e. extinction? They can see the engram but are unable to learn it even though they meet the requirements (level, available points, etc).

also interestingly enough, it's not present when entering creative mode as a saddle to craft.

but i can spawn it in with giveitem, etc.

[humble thicket]

anybody has a .bat file that stops the cluster, updates and starts them again? or simply does updates when restarting?

[echo apex]

I actually worked out it was a C++ issue 🙂 pics would be nice, but this is ark and the ark community tends to be a bit ummm different, they'd probably spam inappropriate stuff or do something ridiculous if they were given the freedom to post anything.

[celest halo]

update on start can be a bad thing

[humble thicket]

what would be the best way to automatically update (if there are any updates) on restart that should happen daily?

[celest halo]

Automatic updates are what can be bad, how many times has WC messed up a patch

[humble thicket]

ah thats what you mean. well client side, every time.

[celest halo]

Happens server side also, like the one that deleted everything in dedicated storages and people had to roll back there server saves after it was fixed to get there stuff back

[humble thicket]

what does your bat file do? simply the start arguments? or are you using it to stop/start/update too?

[austere jolt]

How do I make transferring servers smooth where you don’t have to upload your survivor and items?

[rain pond]

I got the Fear Ascended Mod on my server, its working fine.... However when it alerts us that the DodoRex is due and then arrived, we can't find it, we have tried every location you can think of, watch videos. No help.
I just read that because its a mod, i have to spawn it in?? Which is confusing because why alert us if its not spawning??

[rich kiln]

Probably the mod itself. I wouldn't owrry about it, just wait for a new version and report the issue. Mods can spawn dinos and shouldn't have to be spawned it.

[wise kindle]

If you run

Cheat listdinos

And look at the list you can verify if its actually spawning or not.

You can also use the Dino finder mods to find it as its not at all easy to find.
This is running on one of my island maps and was spawning last time I looked. Likely you just arent seeing it before it poofs.

[rich kiln]

The should be save files in S:/<dir/Shootergame/Saved/SavedArks

somewhere like that

[austere jolt]

Not sure what you mean

[rich kiln]

You transfer the save files from one to another

[austere jolt]

I have Crossark on, on both of my servers and the cluster id chosen but I can only uplaod survivor in the ob

[rich kiln]

Idk a lot about that sort of stuff. I would do a lot of research. Maybe survivetheark and reddit will help

Been searching for awhile nobody seems to have answers

[rich kiln]

Does port 27015 have to be forwarded for ASA? I have port 7777 and 7778 forwarded and everyone can join except one friend of mine.

[quick escarp]

I have an ASE server set up question -- I've had folks request I add to our ASE cluster, and I simply cannot figure out how to make this happen. Since this is an unofficial map it is somehow installed with a mod, but I cannot get it to load all the way on my server. It hangs up even if it is the only mod I add to the ini file. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?

[fast wigeon]

I have one that does the update

[distant hearth]

asa only uses the one game port for incoming connections from players , by default its udp 7777

[distant hearth]

make sure both servers have the exact same cluster id (crossark id) what ever nitrado calls it

[humble thicket]

Would you be able to share it with me? Can i dm you?

[fast wigeon]

Give me a sec to change the setting

How to fix ark refreshing inventory?

[queen shadow]

Hello, I did everything right (server setup wise including ports) and its still not showing in the server list

[visual mirage]

I'm trying to set up a dedicated server but each time I click accept after setting up a password, it closes the game ?

[queen shadow]

Is anyone there to help 😭

[north nova]

how do i fix it saying mod not installed when trying to add a new mod to my server? i add it then try to launch server and it just says mod not installed

[lunar prairie]

Im having some trouble with a cluster, moreso the network setup behind it. I have the servers running on a seperate machine on my local network but my router (verizon g3100) doesnt have nat loopback/hairpinning that I can find. Was wondering if anyone has figured out an easy workaround

[maiden temple]

Anyone know any high pop pve clusters between 2-5x

[queen shadow]

still need help

[fierce timber]

Through Nitrado or a different 3rd-party method of hosting?

[visual mirage]

I'm just trying to open it on the game, am I supposed to use something else?

[fierce timber]

Oh, the in-game method of a dedicated server? Are you sure you're not opening up only a server and that's why?

When it closes your game, does it open up a command prompt console bar of sorts?

[visual mirage]

Yeah I can't send a picture of it though

[visual mirage]

Can I dm you?

[fierce timber]

So if it's truly dedicated server and not non-dedicated option, then you can only host with wherever that option is

Unless it's 3rd party self-hosting and you have a strong enough system to host server and play on same system

Yes, you can dm me

[queen shadow]

can I also dm? I have a dedicated aswell and my problem is it not showing the server list

[fierce timber]

Is the correct map checked? The correct server settings on the bottom? If password/pc is the server type parameter and you don't have that checkmarked, it won't appear

And beyond that, it might not have even posted (if you have the server control panel to look and see what it says, if via Nitrado server hosting)

[queen shadow]

I have a vps with 12 gb ram and good storage (server for 2 people), and all ports open for forwarding

I just did what a tutorial video did word to word

Server: "rafay" has successfully started!
Commandline:  TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName=rafay?ServerPassword=rafaydaddy?ServerAdminPassword=rafaydaddy?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=3 -NoBattlEye
Full Startup: 23.96 seconds

it even starts

[fierce timber]

That doesn't mean anything necessarily

I had similar issues when going through self-hosting

It would "start" but still not be visible

[queen shadow]

so I cant self-host 😭

[fierce timber]

You can

Most likely

[queen shadow]

I have a vps so might aswell try hosting on it, aside from paying another 24$ for 2 people

[fierce timber]

So you opened ports on your router's website specifically? The ports match the server's ports? You put every port pertaining to the server into your firewall exceptions list?

You also have to add the port into incoming/outgoing as well

For firewall. And if the setting/value isn't correct in router settings, then even if port number is correct it won't actually go through

And people can't join it then most likely/most cases

[queen shadow]

omgggg I did via this add https so link problem
hub.tcno.co/games/asa/dedicated_server/

can I dm you because I cant send pics here sadly

[fierce timber]

Sure

[lunar prairie]

Im still having an issue with nat hairpinning/loopback not working, does anyone have any solutions? I have a verizon g3100 and I have three ark servers. The router doesnt have a hairpin setting and I cant get a workaround to work properly

[lone shadow]

can someone help me please? im trying to play crossplay dedicated server with my friend, i hosted the server and he can ping me over the command prompt and everything. but when he tries to connect over IP or look for my server on the server browser it doesnt work. when he tries to connect with the IP it says timed out... any help is very appreciated

[bleak ivy]

are you playing ASA or ASE?

[lone shadow]

ASE

[bleak ivy]

ASE isn't crossplay between all platforms.
what platform(s) are you on.

[lone shadow]

im on steam (i can connect fine when i favorite the server on steam server browser) and my friend on epic

and we both cant find the server on ark's server browser

[bleak ivy]

there are extra steps you need to do for epic to be able to connect.
there is are settings. -crossplay and -PublicIPForEpic=<IPAddress>
you can't use any mods or epic can't join.

[quasi trench]

If I rent a sever from nitrado do I need a pc to install mods

[echo apex]

I've set up my test dedicated server, set up my port forwarding rules. The server is searchable in the list and other players can find it but when they try to join connection times out. Would this still be a port forwarding issue?

[fierce timber]

Could potentially still be a port forwarding issue or you're set to exclusive join and their IDs aren't in the exclusive join list so it allows them to attempt to join server before timing them out for not being on the list.

[spice wyvern]

No but it is easier to go through all the settings and such with a PC

[rich kiln]

Have you allowed incoming request via port 7777 and 7778 through your firewall?

[distant hearth]

depends if its an ase or asa server,
asa server only needs the one game port forwarded for incoming player connections, by default 7777udp
must be through windows firewall and any router/switches etc between you and internet

[echo apex]

We're working on the router now I was assuming that was the problem but I thought it wouldn't show in lists if that was the case. As I have multiple maps in the cluster I will need various game ports right?

And I do only have this one set to 7777 and Ive done inbound rule for TCP and UDP for it allowing connection on the server. I'm guessing it's the router

[distant hearth]

each server will need its own udp port yes, set them with -port=xxxx, they must be forwarded inbound in firewall and through the router

the server itself will show in the lists with out the game port forwaded as it makes its own firewall exception and sends outbound info to eos

[echo apex]

I'm a bit confused with the router am I supposed to be choosing internal or external ports

[toxic hazel]

Set both internal and external the same 🙂 It means someone coming form the external port of 7777 to the internal port of 7777

[echo apex]

On I ended up setting a bunch of rules on the router that should cover it

Fingers crossed

[toxic hazel]

Only need 2 portts for each server Game +1 so if one is 7777 then open 7777 and 7778 for it then the next would be 7779 and so on

[celest halo]

ASA only uses game port, ASE is game port +1

[toxic hazel]

I get problems if i dont open +1 😉 like losing character

[quick escarp]

Is this ASA or ASE? On ASE the mods come from the server to the client, and first time thru it is very likely they will time out a couple times. Just keep trying, it will take longer depending on how many mods you have added to the instance.

"This can't be posted because it contains content blocked by this server. This may also be viewed by server owners."

[edgy phoenix]

Was your response to me?

[olive talon]

I don't see anything in logs. You'd report issues like that by messaging Dodo Mail at the top of the members list for moderation.

This channel is for server setup help.

[olive talon]

It's not recent, and dinos/buildings will do it as well. You can attempt to correct it with a rollback, if you know roughly when it happened

[edgy phoenix]

Will do it? Meaning there's a chance people are going to come online and complain about their stuff missing? Or they'll cause it?

[olive talon]

Tames and building can also appear at 50,50. I don't know what causes it.

[hasty valley]

yep. sent w/ screenshot.

Does anyone know if Astraeros is supposed to be allowed to be hosted with anonymous steam? I realize you need the DLC purchased to join a server running the map - but i'm having issues starting my host. All 6 of my other servers run fine. The Astraeros one never completes startup. I get an output: Started and X cores assigned, but I never get the message that it is up and advertising / ready for join. I can't be logged in on my steam account in two places, so i'm kinda stuck here and there's really been no guidance released for server admins on how to host this map that i've seen other than some light guidance how to move from the mod version to the dlc version.

would be nice if the guidance that was provided to nitrado was public for all server admins....

[toxic hazel]

Try a fresh server install

[wise kindle]

Does the server start? Or you cant see it?

Astraeos has a ton of issues so need a bit more info here.

[wise kindle]

oh nvm I'm blind.

You will need to perform a reinstall

New servers require about 30 minutes of setup time during which there are multiple restarts.
If the setup is interrupted the game can be corrupted and it will never show up or be joinable.
Fear not, this is fixed with a simple reinstall.
Shutdown your server.
Hit the REINSTALL button on the left side of your dashboard.
Wait 30 minutes, this is IMPORTANT
After 30 minutes, join the map BEFORE you make any changes. This is to verify that the game installation is good.
After this is verified, shutdown your server and then you can make your changes.
Be sure to always shutdown your server before saving settings changes to avoid game corruption issues.

[distant hearth]

host the map like any other, just name is astreaous , heres a simple batch file that will work for testing , if ran from same location as the .exe
Start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?SessionName="my server name" -port=7778 -winlivemaxplayers=10

[wise kindle]

Or did I read that all wrong cuz I saw Nitrado and I assume thats the host.

[hasty valley]

it's self hosted.

[distant hearth]

im confused too, maybe i read wrong, but between us we gave the info for both platforms haha

[wise kindle]

ah nvm then

Nitrado wouldnt know much more than anyone else. They have a ton of issues getting it to run as well lol.

If you are selfhost I would not be using them as a source of info.

[hasty valley]

i was backhanded complaining that we "plebes" don't get the same level of communications.

[distant hearth]

we have better than nitrado tbh, they have hardly any clue whats going on

[wise kindle]

Its the wild west trying to figure out anything thats going on. But I def wouldnt look there for selfhost support.

[distant hearth]

a search of this channel likely resolves most self host issues,
99% of them are people using incorrect/ old ase commands
the othe 1 % are cert issues on server editions of windows or random isp / router nat issues

[hasty valley]

unfortunately, searching has not resolved anything for this issue. that would be far too easy.

[wise kindle]

The astraeos DLC is a separate installation as far as I know. I believe you have to download it separately.

[hasty valley]

is it a separate steam resource id?

[wise kindle]

They are planning to separate all the maps except for island with the engine upgrade, from what I have heard. So this will be something that needs to be setup in preparation for that switch anyway.

[distant hearth]

dlc is built into the game, no seperate download is needed server side ,
client side it needs paying for and downloading to join the server with it on

unless your trying to run the old "free" mod version of the map, then it needs adding as a mod .... aswell as the map name change

[wise kindle]

Will prolly knows more on how to download.

[wise kindle]

ohh ty, I wasnt told this.

[distant hearth]

its just how they handle dlc, it got a lil janky becuase many had the mod version of the map before it was put into the main game

[wise kindle]

Its good in the long run for the client side, so I'm happy to see it. But the game is going to be a juggernaut at the end on the server side lol.

Has anyone got the mod version to run as of late?

[hasty valley]

No i think you guys are on to something here...

[toxic hazel]

You can decrease server size by removing the movies folder files which hold about 20GB 😉

[distant hearth]

suprisingly its really not that bad, 40-50gb or so depending how much save data per server

[hasty valley]

2430930 - SteamDB resource ID for the ARK Dedicated server.

3483400 - Is the resource ID for Astraeos DLC.

[wise kindle]

Today I learned.

[distant hearth]

ive never bothered , disk space is cheap asf lol good to know though

[wise kindle]

But seriously, has anyone gotten the free Astraeos mod to run since the dlc dropped? Im very curious.

[toxic hazel]

Am on 46tb hehehe

[distant hearth]

havent tried tbh but it shud

[wise kindle]

I havent heard of anyone getting it to work on the Nitrado side, so curious if its playable on selfhost.

[distant hearth]

start "" "C:\SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "C:\Arkserver1" +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit
change file paths to suit your steamcmd location and where you want server installed.
no need to make life complicated

[toxic hazel]

It has a different folder name, didnt Nekatus say it needs renaming to use the free dlc progress on the paid dlc

[hasty valley]

that's the thing isnt it.... you need 3483400 now

and nobody told us

[wise kindle]

yeah but its not working. Most ppl gave up and bought the dlc which is why everyone is so angry about it.

[toxic hazel]

Ahhh

Might have to try boot mine back up hahah

[distant hearth]

i cant test it easily no more as i changed that one an the download wud take me hours haha
other wise i wud try

[hasty valley]

but you might not be able to do it anonymously.

[wise kindle]

If you get it to work please ping me and let me know what you did.

I dont have a test map atm or I would try this.

[humble thicket]

can somebody tell me if this launch argument has no errors?
"ScorchedEarth_WP" "-port=7781" -WinLiveMaxPlayers=50 "-clusterid=hdg-win22-cluster1" "-ClusterDirOverride=C:\cluster" -ServerPlatform=ALL -log -servergamelog customdynamicconfigurl=C:\hot-win\gus.ini -UseDynamicConfig

[hasty valley]

your custom dynamic url i believe needs to be hosted on http/https

[toxic hazel]

I tried local files which did no work from many tests

[hasty valley]

your map should be connected with ?

[distant hearth]

it has many errors

[humble thicket]

what are they? 😄

[hasty valley]

you're missing a session name

[humble thicket]

its in the gus.ini

[distant hearth]

ughh gimme a few min i try rewrite correct

[humble thicket]

thanks mate

[wise kindle]

no worries, just curious if there is something magical that needs to be done to fix it

[distant hearth]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP -port=7781 -WinLiveMaxPlayers=50 -clusterid="hdg-win22-cluster1" -ClusterDirOverride="C:\cluster" -customdynamicconfigurl="C:\hot-win\gus.ini" -UseDynamicConfig

wud be more like it if launched from same location as the exe,
not certain on dynamic config, always thought it needed be a hosted webpage , but it wud look how i put it if it works that way

[humble thicket]

thank you. hosted webpage? like it needs to be external?

[distant hearth]

afaik yes, something like a github raw web page link, basically a https link

[celest halo]

It does and not sure if the file:/// trick works for it to use local file

[distant hearth]

me either, havent tried

[toxic hazel]

I tried, no work for dynamic

Tried many variations too haha

[humble thicket]

hmm, so gotta make a http page

alright thanks tho 😄

[humble thicket]

it did work with http? or https

[toxic hazel]

I am using http atm

[celest halo]

Yeah was not sure think it still works for admin list though 🤣

[toxic hazel]

Github works too but the link changes everytime you update teh file

[wise kindle]

I have read that ONLY http works. It cant handle https

[distant hearth]

it does work for admin whitelist an player whitelist on local file

[celest halo]

Either should work with ASA

ASE was http only

[toxic hazel]

AdminList you can use a local file

[wise kindle]

ah that makes sense. I couldnt get either to work with Nitrado cuz god hates me.

[toxic hazel]

"file://C:\\GameServers\\ChiefsTown\\AdminList.txt" mine

[celest halo]

Default one for ASA is https

[distant hearth]

ase i think was http only, prob the wiki aint been updated

[celest halo]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Web_API#Dynamic_configurations_(ASE/ASA)

[celest halo]

it was for ASE

[distant hearth]

i think alot people kinda gave up on asa tbh , i have all of 0 friends that play it now lol

[wise kindle]

Wild wild west it is. Every. Single. Day.

[humble thicket]

another question regarding the dynamic config, i have a file with 3 arguments, harvest and xp multiplier. will they also be need in the original gus.ini file?

for example, my file is just this:
HarvestHealthMultiplier=1
HarvestAmountMultiplier=4
TamingSpeedMultiplier=6

[distant hearth]

they dont need be no, the server will just use default if it isnt pointed at the dynamic

[celest halo]

dynamic config overrides anything in GUS

[humble thicket]

so whatever is in the dynamic will override the same in gus, else is default or what is in gus

thanks!

[distant hearth]

this may help if u need,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#DynamicConfig

[celest halo]

that needs an update to it 🤣

[severe pawn]

Since yesterday, several players have been having trouble logging into a server. It tells us: "Kicked due to battle eye, client not responding, or query timeout." We thought it was a Steam issue... but today, a few of us still can't play. There's no ban... that's not it. Is anyone else experiencing this or know what's going on? Thanks.

[hasty valley]

ok.... so making some progress here.... but i hit another wall.

the install path is saying it is invalid.

ERROR! Failed to install app '3483400' (Invalid install path)

that's pointing it to the ARK root install.

[toxic hazel]

Booted it up and joined it with no problems

[wise kindle]

Oh, so maybe they fixed it?

[toxic hazel]

Potentially ya

[wise kindle]

ty for this.

[celest halo]

There is only one ark dedicated server program there is not a different dedicated server program for astraeos dlc

[hasty valley]

see, that's where you're 1/2 right....

[distant hearth]

i gave you the correct update/install file

[hasty valley]

the dlc entitlement downloads 3483400 and the resource pakchunk2-Windows

[distant hearth]

its all the same , the dlc will be for client side

[hasty valley]

that may be, but the server isn't the same... so... there are things that need to be sorted for the server to pull astraeos updates when they are published.

[distant hearth]

no need to try to overcomplicate a simple process, there no rocket science, just install the server an it will be the latest version, if using a preinstalled server, ensure its on the latest version an the astreous map will be included

[hasty valley]

ipso facto, the resource id and pak files.

[hasty valley]

sorry, but it is more complicated than that.

[distant hearth]

it really isnt, my dumb ass made it work

[celest halo]

All dlc info is built into the dedicated server, has been that way since ASE with all it's dlcs

[distant hearth]

my magic process was , update server to latest version and change the map name, et voila , server boots

[hasty valley]

I'm telling you the pak files for astraeos are missing in the dedicated install. on my client pc that has it installed there are 3 files that begin with "pakchunk2-Windows" that are missing from the dedicated install

[celest halo]

and i'm telling you its all part of the dedicated server app id 2430930 change log Changed files in this update Depot 2430931 Modified – Manifest_DebugFiles_Win64.txt Modified – Manifest_NonUFSFiles_Win64.txt Modified – Manifest_UFSFiles_Win64.txt Modified – ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe (+2.00 KiB) Modified – ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.pdb (+64.00 KiB) Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/global.ucas (+144 B) Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/global.utoc Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/pakchunk0-WindowsServer.pak Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/pakchunk0-WindowsServer.ucas (-1.00 MiB) Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/pakchunk0-WindowsServer.utoc (-408 B) Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/pakchunk2-WindowsServer.pak Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/pakchunk2-WindowsServer.ucas Modified – ShooterGame/Content/Paks/pakchunk2-WindowsServer.utoc inculdes the pakchunk2 files

[hasty valley]

ok, then... why won't is start?

[distant hearth]

if the files are missing then i suspect the server had a hiccup installing or isnt on the latest version,
run a validate if it is on latest version

[hasty valley]

doing that now

[celest halo]

it starts and runs fine for me, not sure why it wont for you but Ark be Ark and work for some and not others

[distant hearth]

stmcmd has a been a asss for last month or so an sometimes wont update a server till you delete the acf file,
just steam being an arse after they changed the filles on the steam.db so that us peasants can only see the public updates

[celest halo]

Steam.db had no choice in that I query the steam API directly and it only shows public info, it used to show all locked depots

[distant hearth]

oh so wc changed that part ? it was kinda fun to see all the builds

[celest halo]

Steam did, can't see locked branches for any game anymore

[distant hearth]

yea , that what i meant, afte rthat was when wud sometimes get issues updating servers

[celest halo]

Steam.db is independent of steam, they get all there info for there website from querying the steam api

[distant hearth]

ah i see sorry , i thought was run by steam , my bad, never really thought much about it

[celest halo]

Nope it's a 3rd party site 😂

[distant hearth]

that was my confusion , crazy then really a big company like steam wudnt just have a site like that lol ...
eh well i guess they dont care so third parties get at it

[celest halo]

most people dont read the bottom of the site so they miss this SteamDB is a hobby project and is not affiliated with Valve or Steam.

[distant hearth]

i normally catch stuff like that tbh , as i do tend read the boring stuff no one else does, guess i just missed that one]

[celest halo]

well steam does have there website with all the games and info, they just dont show the backend stuff that steam db does 🤣

[hasty valley]

I'm nuking all the binaries in 2430930 and downloading them fresh, again.

only 50% - but hopefully this takes care of it.

verify on the files was running fine though with no updates.

...this looks promising

[2025.03.12-18.31.56:221][ 2]Full Startup: 21.41 seconds

better than the 6 seconds... so it must have parsed something....

it also created the Astraeos_WP folder under SavedArks which it had not done to date...

but i still haven't gotten the up / adversising ready to join message.

[2025.03.12-18.36.04:118][209]Server has completed startup and is now advertising for join.

Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

i wonder if this fixes the inability for players to learn the maeguana saddle too....

[wise kindle]

I believe that is still a bug unfortunately. Unless it was fixed in the last couple days.

[hasty valley]

it's strange i can learn it on official...

learning it on my unofficial it never highlights/lights up. but if my pak files were jacked files....

[celest halo]

This is still ark that might be asking for to much at one time 🤣

[hasty valley]

that's 1/2 the thrill.... what's going to work today that is intended to work always?

[burnt oak]

Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000080

Getting this on astraeos CONSTANTLY, is this fixable or nah?

[hasty valley]

yikes. how's your RAM utilization? Disk Space?

[burnt oak]

its my partner too, just on astraeos. ark is the only thing on my ssd. memory is running 38% with ark open

oo to spice it up just got this one on login:

LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\j\workspace\RelB\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Util.cpp] [Line: 873]

with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Unhandled Exception: 0x00008000

[celest halo]

Frame gen can cause that error, that's normally a DirectX/GPU related error

[burnt oak]

thank you mr vw, will try updating

[hasty valley]

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG is fairly common. there's some registry tweaks you can do (google the error & ark), that made it better for me. My card's not frame gen capable so i didn't get all the errors people were slammed with when astraeos was released.

[sacred loom]

So before ASA came out, wildcard mentioned that the mutation cap was gonna be an option to be set on unofficial. Has anyone found that ini yet?

[distant hearth]

they lied

dino level caps, player level caps, stat point caps, mutation caps, still all in game lol

[celest halo]

WC would never do such a thing 🤣

[tender forge]

Hi, how can I up the amount of tamed dino’s our tribe has, it’s currently at 250max

[distant hearth]

gus.ini config change as can be found here ,
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
MaxPersonalTamedDinos=500
would double it

[tender forge]

Perfect thanks, I use the Nitrado web thing they haven’t and couldn’t find it

This was very helpful

[distant hearth]

nitrado have it under there general settings far as i rem , been years though an tbh i mostly set them by ini

[tender forge]

It’s weird it said 5000
Maybe they have a cap?

[distant hearth]

5000 will be the entire server cap

shud be another setting for personal dino cap ( ark counts that as tribe cap)

[wise kindle]

ehhh, that setting isnt under the General tab that I can see

You should find both in the gus.ini

MaxPersonalTamedDinos=500
MaxTamedDinos=5000

[jaunty vortex]

So can windows not waiting long enough for the graphics card to respond and issuing a reset. Which crashes the game.

[frigid vine]

Anyone knows, why sometimes in the server-console is the output for saveworld (the time) missing? It happens only on some machines.

[tender forge]

I only seemax tamed dino 5000

MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit=5000
MaxTamedDinos_SoftTameLimit_CountdownForDeletionDuration=604800

[distant hearth]

if the setting isnt there in the game user setting.ini , double an triple check , after that you can add it, id be suprised if it not there tbh
i expect it to be there an set at 250

[quick escarp]

I think it is in GameUserSetting.ini actully

we run at 1000 but we are fairly low population

[distant hearth]

it is , no idea why i typed spaces in it tbh , i norm just use gus

[tender forge]

Yeah that line isn’t in the game user setting at all

[quick escarp]

do you show a limit when someone opens their inventory? I think originally we had no limit at all and added the line later

[tender forge]

When I open it it says 88/250

[quick escarp]

hmm. have you tried adding the line to see if it changes? I keep a test server off the cluster that I try out things on like new settings or mods

[distant hearth]

the setting i gave 100% works, it likely defaults to 250
why are u worrying when ure not even half way to limit?

[wise kindle]

Those lines are already in the default Nitrado ini configs. You will need to do a thorough search for them in there and edit them.

[distant hearth]

any setting that doesnt have a line in the ini , or has a line that has a value not recognised, the server will just default to stock value

[quick escarp]

Sorry, I didn't realize you were setting up on Nitrado, we have our own hardware so our set up is a little different

[latent fossil]

Hey, anyone has some good rates for a PvE server? Im not good at calculating the right rates for passive tame and imprinting. But i definately want higher rates. even tho with meat/prime meat, i dont wanna wait half an hour... thanks in advance 🙂

[quick escarp]

we run 5x on taming which works out pretty well. I lived thru the early days on ASE and never want to have to tag team tame stuff again

[distant hearth]

theres no such thing tbh, everyone has there own prefernces, best advice i can give if you after breeding an maturing rates, get the ark beacon app/program

i like high taming and breeding but low xp an harvesting lol , its just what works for me an my group that played

[wise kindle]

if you have rafts, platform saddled tames or titans, they count differently. For example a platform saddled bronto counts as 10 dinos in the dino counter.

[latent fossil]

I tried that app. but it always showed me that its not working right and then it linked me to the server status website. on there it says, everythings up and running.. thats why im asking here. its mostly for the taming and breeding/imprinting. i can set the xp and harvesting by myself

[quick escarp]

I am not at home, but that may be one where you use .2 instead of 5 because it will take 1/5 of the time

[distant hearth]

breeding imprinitng you wont get better than beacon, it litterally shows every value an every dino , so u can see the effecyt it has each time make a change

[latent fossil]

I installed the beacon app now twice. i only get error messages, then get linked to the server status website of beacon... wish i could use it

[wise kindle]

I dont even try to configure breeding without Beacon. Dont even get me started on configuring the day/night cycles lol.

[distant hearth]

im with you, beacon all the way, the free version does so much its unreal
i do have paid though which is just all in goodness

[wise kindle]

Its worth every stinkin penny.

[distant hearth]

yep and the rest lol, bargain at twice the price

[distant hearth]

theres a link to the download site in pinned messages, you tried that ?

[latent fossil]

I at least got one useful answer, thanks @quick escarp for helping 😊

[wise kindle]

Im sure the Beacon discord is familiar with whatever error you are getting. Outside of Chromebooks, the app runs on anything.

Perhaps you can ask there?

[distant hearth]

i can give u my setings but it wont be useful to you , im not sure what you expect .... i can give you entire modded ini files , but im sure u dont want my settings with added element in loot drops etc

[olive talon]

Since you did already get an answer for your other issue, please join the beacon discord and share your issue with them, they're very helpful and prefer being notified about possible app problems like yours

[solid wasp]

hello everyone i asked about missions a few days ago and couldnt find the fix but i got it now if you cant start missions in gen2 in your non-dedicated server you can type bDisableGenesisMissions=False in game files to fix it

[hasty valley]

looks like epic matchmaking is in trouble.

not listing sessions

[celest halo]

yeah and there status page only shows voice issues nothing about matchmaking

Mar 12, 2025 - 17:24 UTC```

nothing about matchmaking, but its def down i dont get a server list either lol

[hasty valley]

yeah i expect they will need to update that to reflect reality soon.

[low blaze]

Where was this ?

[celest halo]

epic games status page

[low blaze]

So it doesn’t have to do something with ark ?

[celest halo]

google eos status should give link for it

ASA uses epic online services for matchmaking

[low blaze]

So that’s why I can’t join servers

[celest halo]

when epic online services matchmaking has issues no servers show in-game in the list lol

[distant hearth]

curseforge/overwolf servers are getting jealous...
they havent been down for a while 😛

[wise kindle]

Yoooou hush!

[hasty valley]

fyi, this did fix the maeguana saddle issue too. players can learn the engram now... so, to sum up. If your Unofficial Astraeos server wont fully start, and/or your player base is unable to learn the maeguana engram on your other servers, you probably have corrupt PAK files in your install. Nuke them from orbit. Re-download & you should be good.

[frigid vine]

with this i mean 2025.03.12_21.46.52: World Save Complete. Took: 0.521576
For some servers it does not appear. Anyone figured out why? 🤔

[storm pivot]

I need help with this. My mods won't download. I've been like this for over 3 weeks.

[gloomy yew]

i assume it will be a bit before nitrado has this new patch for unoffcial

[grim sinew]

usually the case

[gloomy yew]

so i got an xbox patch for the game and astaeos and it let me in my server but i assume we wont have any of that stuff from the update till the server itself gets the update?

[bleak ivy]

you'll have the client fixes. for anything server side the server would need to update yeah.

[gloomy yew]

ty i figured as much im excited for the rhynio saddle bps

[serene silo]

anyone else 61.62 dedicated server will not start, get's stuck booting?

[merry thorn]

don't worry bro, friday night is right around the corner!

[boreal cliff]

i am stuck in ticking loop hell

[viscid estuary]

X2

[serene silo]

yup, me too. Astraeos_WP and The Island won't start. Only Ticking Loop

[boreal cliff]

still fked? ive tried all i know

[jovial tundra]

yea my whole cluster wont start up either, hopefully soon it'll be hotfixed

[gloomy yew]

all mine are updated and back up cept for the one all my players are on astraeos

its been stuck on updating for over an hour

[echo apex]

I've done the ports on the server and on the router now and people still cant join into the map so I'm not sure what it is. We're switching to static IP but I felt like it still should have worked in the interim because the IP is stable, enough for testing purposes'

[silent salmon]

does anyone in here have server with Potions Plus | Freemium | Gaia Studios mod? premium version by chance

[hasty valley]

should i be passing -usestore -newsaveformat on an ASA startup command?

[fathom lichen]

Can someone help me i keep getting connection refused messages on my server because of rcon

[toxic hazel]

Can you join on the same network? If you can then port forward problem and if you cant potentially firewall problem

[echo apex]

Yeah I could also join yesterday before I did the router port forwarding as well

I've done extra rules just to cover all possibilities

Might have to wait until the IP is static

Just other players can't join

[worn cove]

i added a mod to my server and it is now stuck in a restart loop. ive tried taking off all mods then putting em back on and restarting but its not working and ive tried a back up but its not working. anyone got anything that would help?

[remote solar]

Hey all how would I go about setting up an asa server on pc that me and my partner on ps5 could play together through the same internet or something like that without having to rent a server as such but also still be able to roam far from each other

[toxic hazel]

Ya want the ddedicated server guide 🙂 #unofficial-setup-help message

[remote solar]

Sweet ill have a look into it

[willow crystal]

hey, does anyone else have problems starting astraeos? i'm stuck in the ticking loop after the number of cores has been output...

[toxic hazel]

If other players only will be port forwarding usually, a static ip would help so then you dont need to update this all the time

[remote solar]

If I setup that on pc, with a ps5 be able to join it ?

Sweet as

[lone shadow]

i already have both arguments on my .bat file, still doesnt work. i dont have any mods either

[gentle wadi]

I am having the same issue now

[frigid vine]

Is it a problem if you had the mod-map before? 🤔

[toxic hazel]

If you had the modded map before you need to update your map folder name

[frigid vine]

yeah was thinking about this is happening (again). But not sure, maybe its a new issue 🙂 I didn't updated yet (but also never used the mod map. Was just interested in whats the issue.

[toxic hazel]

Maybe the download for it got interupted, usually installing a fresh server from steamcmd helps resolve it

[haughty ether]

Yup same here

[blazing cypress]

I am having this issue with all my server maps. After the 61.63 server update they refuse to reach broadcast. Just idle at ticking loop and the other end seems to just not respond.
I have tried Center, Scorched, Island, and even a vanilla Extinction with no mods at all.
Servers are fine if brought up without patching, but once they are 61.63 they just sit.

[jaunty vortex]

Mine just wouldn’t start. I had to blow away my saves. Fortunately nobody had been on it yet.

[open obsidian]

same here for me, but only astraeos refuses to start, stuck in "ticking loop"
and we have all seven servers sharing the same folder for several months now (using symlinks), so "bad server data" is out of the question, as other six maps work just fine

[toxic hazel]

Not sure wth symlinks pal, just know new server install from steamcmd helps

[echo apex]

The static IP shouldn't be the reason they can't connect in the meantime though right? I have the port forwarding set up on the router as well as the server itself so I'm at a loss why players can't get on

[blazing cypress]

Mine are all separate. Definitely not data corruption on all servers at the same time.

[toxic hazel]

No wont affect connecting having dynamic, check your firewall applications and you have allowed ArkAscendedServer.exe

[echo apex]

In my rules?

[toxic hazel]

No in firewall apps, I'll send a DM

[echo apex]

Haha thanks I appreciate it

[toxic hazel]

Should have it

[blazing cypress]

Still nothing... grr.
I can see a few 61.63 dedicated servers, so I know it's not across the board. I tried a server without mods, and it won't connect. So I know it's not simply mod related. Hrmm...

[gentle wadi]

I have also tried a few and tried removing mods, nothing seems to work. i also saw some nitrado servers also having the issue

[blazing cypress]

It has to be at their end.
Everything was fine until I patched. Running servers up with older versions worked fine... but patching broke them each and every one.

[gentle wadi]

yip same thing for me

[blazing cypress]

I'll check it again in a few hours I guess... see if they patch something. Nothing more I can do at this point except have some coffee and play something else while I wait. Other old farts will be coming on soon and I will have to tell them the sh*t's broke. lol
Good luck.

[gentle wadi]

goodluck to you too!

[dire thistle]

What's going on? None of the maps on my server are running

[gentle wadi]

something broke in tha latest patch, just gotta wait and hope they fix it soon

[errant marlin]

i have the problem too. i assume the servers you see are hosted via linux. a colleague of mine hosts with linux and his servers boot up without any problems

[celest halo]

That don't make much sense with ASA, it don't have Linux binaries, so even hosting with Linux it's using the windows binaries with either proton or wine

[toxic hazel]

My server boot no issues, WinServ22

Might be random

[celest halo]

Normal ark works for some and don't for others 🤣

[errant marlin]

so all the servers I have stay with
“nuber of core” and do not go any further

[toxic hazel]

Always this with Ark haha

[icy schooner]

I'm having the same problem

my os is windows server 2022

[errant marlin]

i have created a new server. api added mods added. start parameters added. it fails to start. could it be the cluster? it is not connected in the cluster

yes 2022

[jaunty vortex]

Windows Server sometime has issues with curseforge and that will stop your server starting up.

It’s related to encryption certificates.

[icy schooner]

is there any advise?

[errant marlin]

this time it doesn't seem to be due to curseforge... it loads the mods without any problems. the hang only comes afterward

[jaunty vortex]

Update your certificates. I don’t know how because I run my servers on Windows 11 Pro which does not have this issue.

Windows Server is intended for the workplace where people wish to have more control over the installed certificates.

[dire thistle]

Mods load without problems. Clean server starts without problems. Problems with existing map saves

[icy schooner]

I think the problem is only related to v61.63. I have a v61.29 test server, it works fine.

seems only v61.63 servers being affected

[celest halo]

It also has issues with EOS if certificates are not right

[toxic hazel]

Having Epic Games Launcher installed keeps them updated

[jaunty vortex]

Probably. I’m not running Server edition so it’s not something I paid close attention to.

[celest halo]

I know the wiki has links to the ones you need for EOS with windows server edition, it was also an issue with ASE if you wanted to cross play epic and steam 😂

[celest halo]

I don't either I run all mine on Linux

[toxic hazel]

I just have epic installed, easy peasy

[errant marlin]

So you mean I just have to install the Epic Games Launcher on my root server and then it should work again?

[celest halo]

Depends on if it is a eos cert issue and not something else

[raven wigeon]

well my dedicated servers hosted on my home server are all down, they wont boot up

guess every1 is having this issue

[toxic hazel]

Effectively but as Stolen says if its not eos related it wont help

I have it installed on my Server hosting the ark servers and they alll booted straight away after the update, no issues, but it may be only affecting certain people

[celest halo]

Don't know if it's everyone, I'm updating my least played server in my cluster now to see if it will start after 😂

[errant marlin]

so i've only installed the launcher now. it makes no difference. “[2025.03.13-11.21.34:936][ 63]Number of cores 16” then it stops and does not continue

[toxic hazel]

Then not eos related

[celest halo]

Mine is stuck at number of cores also 🤣, it's not a CF issue either mod updating is done before that

[errant marlin]

i started a server already prepared for later where i knew it didn't have the latest mods yet. it downloads the mods without any problems. so it's not curseforge's fault either

[errant marlin]

I can confirm 😉

[keen walrus]

same here, all my servers are stucked on ticking loop number of cores

[celest halo]

[2025.03.13-11.23.00:014][ 53]Primal Game Data Took 0.00 seconds that dont look good lmao

[errant marlin]

so at least it's reassuring that it's not a mistake on my part

[raven wigeon]

@errant marlinim having the same issue, so it's the files problem for sure!!!

[errant marlin]

I'm currently saving my entire server to another hard disk and then trying to reset the server to the build ID 17595598

[celest halo]

I'm doing a roll back on my one right now, but cheating by just copying the files from one I didn't update 😂

[gentle wadi]

this worked for me, removing ActiveMapMod in my GUS.ini

[errant marlin]

i made the mistake of having them all updated

[celest halo]

Yeah I stopped doing because of stuff like this I always hold back on at least one of them

[unborn condor]

I learned that lesson during peak ASE days.

[celest halo]

Yup

[errant marlin]

Yes, I usually do too... this time I wanted to get the servers back up quickly to show my people the new loading screen in my mod. I was too hasty.

[gentle wadi]

@blazing cypress

[unborn condor]

Someone posted a fix in #bobs-with-probs.

At least I think that's for the problems we were/are having.

[gentle wadi]

Its for the server stuck in ticking loop issue

[unborn condor]

So yeah.

[gentle wadi]

worked for me

[unborn condor]

Thanks Kemari. I'll re-update my servers again later today then and apply that fix.

[keen walrus]

it works! omg finally!

thanks alot Kemari!

[gentle wadi]

Such a weird issue honestly!

[icy schooner]

works for me too, thanks for letting me know!

[errant marlin]

omg it's really just ActiveMapMod, he's booting up

[celest halo]

So is mine leave it WC to break an ini setting thats been there forever and worked 🤣

[toxic hazel]

Can confirm this not in my ini anyway so likely why am a lucky one hahaha

[celest halo]

Stolens Aberration
Updated to version: 61.63```  one fully back online and updated lmao, just need to do rest of servers in my cluster

[celest halo]

Was in mine and set to 0 🤣, not sure when it was added

[toxic hazel]

Dont think I have ever had this in my ini heheh

[errant marlin]

I have ActiveMapMod=0 in each of my ini files. I delete it and the servers run... my first server tool set it up that way and I just took over this line to all my servers and never paid attention to it.

[celest halo]

For me it could of been left over from ASE, I copied a lot of my ASE settings over to ASA 😂

[icy schooner]

on the bright side, this issue seems didn't broke the save file...

[errant marlin]

I'm currently going through my servers. Everything seems to be fine.
Many thanks to everyone who has helped so intensively here to find the problem. I'm just happy that everything is working.
Thank you

[blazing cypress]

Definitely fixed the issue.
So, they made the command obsolete but neglected to remove it in the patch?
We manually remove it and on with the show!
Knuckleheads.

[celest halo]

They don't ignore it like they do with other obsolete/wrong settings

[blazing cypress]

Yeah, it became a show stopper.

[restive heron]

My ark Nitrado server is down and won’t go back up. Anyone having the same problem?

[toxic hazel]

#unofficial-setup-help message

If only ya scrolled up hehehe

[restive heron]

Yes that is the channel I’m currently in

[toxic hazel]

That is the post to fix it lol

[restive heron]

Huh?

[toxic hazel]

Click the link and read it

[restive heron]

Ohhh

Why would that code be there though? I never added that

[toxic hazel]

Probably added by ark, who knows bud

[restive heron]

So I delete that line of code?

[restive heron]

I don’t have that line of code

[dire thistle]

Remove ActiveMapMod=0 from GameUserSettings.ini

[unborn condor]

Where can I see the patch notes for dedi-servers?

[unborn condor]

Search ActiveMapMod in your GameUserSettings.ini.

Delete that line. (I believe, I am testing it now.)

Reupdating my servers since I performed a rollback.

[celest halo]

#patch-notes

[unborn condor]

Appreciated!

[rich kiln]

Still suffering from one friend on PC struggling to join my dedicated pc. Me and all others can join, even cross-platform. But one friend can't. I've set up everything correctly. His firewall is also configured. It sometimes works, he joins, empty inventory, gets disconnected. And sometimes it works like it should. And sometimes he gets a timeout connection. So I know it's network related. I've set up my firewall correctly, so incoming and outgoing requests for port 7777 and 7778 are allowed with both UDP and TCP.

He has tried reinstalling, rescanning, restarting network and even messing with network settings. But basically nothing works. Yesterday he just messed around with the ethernet connected to his pc and it eventually worked.

He's on the microsoft store version of ASA btw

[unborn condor]

What does the server log say? Connection time out?

[rich kiln]

Might be related with the outage recently of the xbox servers

[rich kiln]

It logs an incoming request from his ip (first line), then joins the server (second line, only visible from the console and not visible for him), and then half a minute later it just says "xxx has left this ark" (third line)

So it somehow does connect to my server but he just gets timed out.

Btw my ip is always static on that pc. Might be worth mentioning

[unborn condor]

Is he using a VPN? I had a similar issue with another player -- The moment he stopped using his VPN the issues ceased.

[rich kiln]

No, he isn't.

[unborn condor]

Permission to privately message you?

[toxic hazel]

Any chance might have exclusive join active maybe? does the same behaviour

[rich kiln]

oh sure

[rich kiln]

Haven't even looked at that, so no

Just people with the password can join

[rich kiln]

Who the actual f*** invented "cOnNecTioN tImeOuT"

[foggy plinth]

My server is stuck in a ticking loop, what can I do? This happened now after the latest update.

[foggy plinth]

Didn't help for me it is still in ticking loop?

Still with all my maps sadly

Does it help to reinstall the server?

Okay yea it did work

For some reason it readded it when starting my server

[low blaze]

#bobs-with-probs message

[visual forum]

how remove host barrier?

[slim schooner]

Hi, I have a problem with the player speed settings. I can't increase the player speed. The player speed doesn't appear. Can anyone help me?

[fierce timber]

Player movement speed is disabled by default in ASA. You need to enable it via .ini. Maybe server/SP settings has a place to enable it there too, but idr.

In GameUserSettings.ini under the [ServerSettings] header put:

bAllowSpeedLeveling=True (for player/non-flyer creature speed leveling)
bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=True (for flyer speed leveling)

[broken halo]

Anyone figured out a fix on the ticking loop yet?

[robust sonnet]

i don't know if it's me or the DLC but i can't seem to find the Astraeos Structures in the engrams when you level up nor it the listing of engrams to unlock if that makes any sense ?

has it been taken out until the map is updated or have i done something wrong ?

[celest halo]

#unofficial-setup-help message

[brisk stream]

Guys can anyone tell me how can I play with my friend

[devout sapphire]

ASE OR ASA?

[boreal cliff]

go into gameusersettings.ini and take out the line that says activemapmod= start server and should work

[slim schooner]

Thanks, I will try it

[hollow plaza]

Is it possible to host a cluster between a rented server and a local server?

[broken halo]

Seem to fix the island map but now it seems like connection timeout

[slim schooner]

And do you know how to make dino levels from 50 to 300?

[royal epoch]

how do you max ascend another player?

[celest halo]

No if one is a game host, for transfers to work both servers need to be able to read and write data to a shared folder

[fierce timber]

For me with my max level (outside of creature exceptions that go higher), my cap is set to a max lvl 180.

[ServerSettings] (In GUS.ini)

DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6

So for max lvl 300, I think you'd set OverrideOfficialDifficulty to... 10? Since 5 is the default max level of 150, IIRC

[modest sorrel]

Hello guys, I need some urgent help: since the micro update this afternoon I no longer have access to my server, like I no longer see it in the server list, do you know where this could be coming from?

[olive talon]

Is it Astraeos?

[modest sorrel]

Nop

Island, classique

[olive talon]

Made sure it's updated?

[modest sorrel]

Server ON, update, no errors... All is good...
It looks like a port/IP problem, but even changing the port doesn't change anything: it no longer appears in the server list (and the IP hasn't changed, of course).

[celest halo]

Is server fully started or is it stuck because of the activemapmod Gus setting

[modest sorrel]

I go check

[hollow plaza]

Too bad. Does that also mean we have to begin from scratch or can we upload our characters/tames from my host to Nitrado?

[modest sorrel]

No, everything is good, it's technically fully started.
It's a docker with the image of "Acekorneya" if this helps

Please guys 😅 😭

[celest halo]

Not sure if download/upload will work, I don't use Nitardo at all

[broken halo]

I've heard there is a way to get the game save from a nitrado server and plug it in to the pc setup but never tried it

[hollow plaza]

I'll do some more research, and if it's not possible. We're just starting over then

[celest vapor]

Hi, is there any way to get other player's OSS ID? I have friend i wanna transfer his save from singleplayer, but i need to rename the LocalPlayer to his OSS ID which i dont know.
I know there is command for it but he is pretty new and teaching him how to enable console, bind the console enter the commands etc would be pretty hard, he is older lol.
So i need some way to find his OSS ID without him, so i can move it for him to our server.

[slim schooner]

Thanks

[fierce timber]

Np. Hopefully that all works out for you.

[hasty valley]

if he's joining your server, you can see the id in the logs when he joins.

[celest vapor]

thx

[hasty valley]

are the Astraeos mods (mythical creatures / boats) needed for the DLC map, or was this only needed for the mod version?

[slim schooner]

Last thing, I want floating damage

[hasty valley]

ShowFloatingDamageText=True

in GUS.ini

[slim schooner]

Thanks

[crimson quest]

Anyone know why Modded CS Tek Rep engram isn’t showing engrams?

[unique prairie]

Since they won't let anyone post links, you will have to do some searching for yourself.

Somehow, find your way to Nitrado's support page and search for How To Transfer Saves Between Ark Survival Ascended Servers
You should find instructions there on how to make a local backup of your ark server.

[olive talon]

Made sure mod/server is updated?

[modest sorrel]

Up please 😅

[jagged garnet]

So with this latest update "fixed an issue where running an astraeos mod server would instead host the dlc map" does that mean I no longer need to/shouldn't have the mod id in my mods list for the server? Do I need the astraeos mod id or can I just run it like center?

[slim schooner]

I did this and still no player speed spot.

[fierce timber]

What are you playing on? Server? Singleplayer?

Also, did you put it in the correct location in the correct .ini file?

You can dm me with screenshots of how you have it entered

[slim schooner]

Check your dm

[foggy plinth]

[quasi trench]

If I rent a serv through nitrado and it says pc only can I still use Xbox?

[olive talon]

If you are on Evolved, you must download the Nitrado app from the Microsoft store in order to rent a Win10/Xbox server.

[arctic mica]

Hmm not sure then, when i had to do this for my friend I just gave them admin for like 5mins so that they could sort themselves out with the usual commands

[quasi trench]

Ohh alright thanks is adding mods the same?

[olive talon]

If you are on Evolved, there are no mods for any version but the Steam version.

[quasi trench]

Nah I don’t play evolved I mean asa

[jaunty galleon]

Anyone else having issues with self hosted unofficial servers starting since the last update? it just gets stuck on ticking loop and won't start

[olive talon]

On Ascended, mods for Nitrado are added through the web browser or the app. Settings>Curseforge Mods

[quasi trench]

Ya I know I was just wondering if adding mods are the same through nitrado from the Microsoft store

[olive talon]

Yes, still the same category on Nitrado

[quasi trench]

Ok thank you

[jaunty galleon]

This is happening both with and without mods enabled, anyone have any ideas?

[last magnet]

I've had that happen with a corrupted map file

[arctic mica]

Could be the application files are corrupted, i'd make a backup of your config and savedarks directory then do a fresh install of your server, then if that fresh instance works copy across your backup files

If that doesn't work then it might be a hardware issue, but hopefully it's just ark being broken

[fickle basin]

I found a corrupted .arktribe file indeed

[queen pollen]

Hello I'm having my own issue that seems to vary some on occasion occasionally i get a ERROR Code "Unhandled Exception: 0x00008000" but most of the time its just this it will happen as soon as i start a single player game. anyone have any clue whats going on here?

[fierce timber]

If it's starting as soon as you start your SP world, it might be a world corruption of some sort if its an existing SP save/world state.

If it's a brand new SP instance, idk.

Maybe system went over memory limit spawning in the world since it sometimes varies

[serene silo]

this suggestion from earlier today fixed all of my dedicated servers. Remove ActiveMapMod=0 from GameUserSettings.ini

[queen pollen]

It happens after 120 seconds of spawning into a new world

[queen pollen]

Or in charecture creation menus

[jaunty galleon]

This seems to have worked, thank you!

[fierce timber]

Idk then. Could be an issue specific to your hardware/etc, which is different for every user.

If WC's error/crash reports actually shed any light on what went wrong it'd help in determining a lot of what went wrong, but they're usually super unhelpful in that regard due to their formatting.

[spiral bramble]

btw guys, does anyone know why the egg hatching, wanting to care, and maturing timer still takes a long time even though the multiplier is set to 20x, an example is a raptor egg still takes 2 hours to hatch 😔

[queen pollen]

That's funny cus it's all new top of the line kit.

[fierce timber]

Could be driver issues from software potentially too

[queen pollen]

Anything I could do to check that?

[fierce timber]

Most likely it's just WC being terrible at game coding, though. Maybe also UE5 issues/errors because we're still stuck on earlier UE5 versions because WC keeps delaying the UE 5.4 5.5 updated/upgraded engine.

Outside of using Windows Update to check your windows drivers and your gpu's website for latest drivers on your gpu, not much you can do otherwise usually.

[queen pollen]

So I'm likely sol untill they get off their buts and do something about it

[fierce timber]

Well, we'll all be waiting awhile for that

[queen pollen]

Went with an all Gigabyte build and I almost regret admitting it's been a nightmare to get technical help through them

[fierce timber]

Ab's creature spawns have been broken since close to launch (last year in... September?) and still not fixed, so yeah. And even recently WC somehow made the issue even worse to the point the map is unplayable in SP and nothing spawns at all.

On servers it's the "old" issue of "only" 50-60% of the entire map having creatures spawn across it.

Well, customer support is always hit or miss regardless of who it is these days

[edgy swan]

When seting up astraeos on my nitrado server do I need to install it via curse forge or anything first?

[olive talon]

No, it's a dlc now. Just select Astraeos in the map section

Ok so I can just switch the map in the drop down and I'm good to go?

[olive talon]

Yes

[edgy swan]

nice, ty

Tried going into gameusersettings.ini and taking out the line that says ActiveMapMod=0 ?

I'll take a look. Thank you.

Did a test and it seems to get past my issue. Does it do any damage to the .ark file or any side effects?

[olive talon]

Shouldn't, just removes an unnecessary config

does anyone know of an rcon command that can be used to get a tribe's Tribe ID?

[thin cosmos]

no, only when looking at structure in game

Thank you. That seems to have worked.

Great!

Hi there, i got a problem on my dedicated scorched earth server.
Every deathworm or alpha deathworm despawn instantly when we arrive on the render distance.
I tried to
Increase server render distance from 2 to 8 and it doesn't solve the problem
Now i want to reduce the spawn of deatgworm and alpha deatworm cause, when they'r just a few on the map they don't disapear.
this is the commande i write on the game.ini files
DinoSpawnWeightMultipliers=(DinoNameTag="Deathworm",SpawnWeightMultiplier=0.01,OverrideSpawnLimitPercentage=False,SpawnLimitPercentage=0.00005)
and it doesn't work to, it doesn't reduce the spawn, can anyone help me please ❤️

So I've made a dedicated server using the dedi server tool on steam, run the server and its showing that the server has 398 ping, what would be the reason for that
