That probs be right, aussie internet is dogshit

Be fibre to kurb mostly then copper

jaunty vortex
#

I think ping time also is between epic online services and the server. Might not reflect things for you.

I get crazy ping times in the game browser. My server is under my desk.

remote solar
#

Bloody don't know why the hell our gov thought that be a good idea

jaunty vortex
rich kiln
#

I heard it manages the server list? Is that correct?

remote solar
#

Atm I've got 110mb upload and 20mb download

rich kiln
remote solar
#

And that's standard

jaunty vortex
#

Yes it is. It populates the list of servers. When you start a server it registers with Epic Online.

remote solar
#

It's its shit

jaunty vortex
#

I’m surrounded by a 1.6Gbps fibre service. Not on my street though.

remote solar
#

What would be the work around for this tho, legit only want to be able to play with like 4 people max lol

rich kiln
#

Yeah, but you can't decrease your ping unless aussie gov starts putting glass in the ground. But you can't do anything about it.

remote solar
#

Like am I better off making a server the old way, pretty much only want to play lan basically between a ps5 and pc

pure haven
#

server "ping" in game browser include server perfomance stuff like server fps, etc. it shows overall server perfomance not just ping. higher number - worse server perfoamnce, lower server fps, slower rendering time etc

rich kiln
#

so your server will not be connected to the internet

#

only to your locak network

#

aka house network

remote solar
#

Yea is there a way to do that tho

#

I haven't played around with ark servers and shit much

rich kiln
#

Everyone on you LAN can join your server, so you don't need to open ports

#

Every device that is connected to your router can connect

remote solar
#

Is that with the dedicated server or like non dedicated/single player, all I'm trying to get setup is something myself and my partner can play and not have the issues with the tether bullshit getting to far away from each other

Lan only can be a pain if you don't open ports

remote solar
#

Also with the dedi server how do I got about changing player count and server name with the steam tool, going into game files ?

pure haven
#

Just a guess but i think you should look at your pc pefomance more than your internet."Ping" that you see in ark server list do not respresent a real ping. If your pc struggles with running server or you host server and play on same pc and its not powerful enough you will get those lags and high "ping" number. other thing affects it like amount of players, mods, structures and tames on a servers. all this makes "ping" (server performance) number go higher. check your server fps, check your cpu usage, lots of server performance issues are hardware related, not your internet speed. epic services are unrelated to your server ping, they only do server listing, even with epic servers completely down you can manually join any servers by its ip address

I am trying to set my cluster up to have as close to official settings as possible (minus the lvl cap from breeding) but with 3x rates. I have 3x taming and what not set but seems like when I farm berries and things like that I dont get 3x the usual 1x amount. Yes I get 3 stone if I pick up a rock. Also seems like torp on dinos while taming goes down but doesnt seem to tame as fast as official 3x. Admin panel even shows 3x rates for taming enabled.

everything with "interval" in it will be better if you lower the value

Does anyone know what the "Garbage collection triggered!" means in the server console? Is it removing dropped items?

As far as I know, tether has been removed

#

You mean the tether distance that automatically brings back players who went too far from the server host?

lament isle
#

yees

#

Tether distance doesn't apply on default

olive talon
#

You have to rent/host a dedit/unofficial or join an existing server to not have a tether

rich kiln

ah

#

yeah I host my own dedi for me and my friends, and no sight of tether anywhere. So as far as I know it is unlimited as default on dedi

talking bout ASA

It's just that since yesterday when I try to download a map (nyrandil or astraeos) it keeps loading and hours go by but in the end it doesn't finish downloading completely, I've tried like 5 times and the same thing always happens

#

I don't know if it's a bug in the game and I have to wait a few days for it to be fixed.

Redo everything might do the trick

#

You mean downloading for a dedi server?

A moderated server, sorry English is not my first language and I don't understand the question very well, when I go to download for example Nyrandil (purchased map) it never finishes loading

I've been poking at this for a few weeks, but I get a black screen at login, and the only fix I've found is deleting my character profile from the server, and creating a new character, then having to rejoin my tribe + kill my old body. This is on The Island map, PC only dedicated server. I've tested without learning any engrams, and emptying my inventory before logging out. I've also done a fresh map + deleted local character profile

I have a player that is on Xbox S. They can get on all my maps except for The Center. They can't create a new character or transfer to it, it crashes before it even gets to the point of creating a character or selecting a spawn point. I have other Series S players that don't have that issue.

so this is the same platform independent but assuming your using a sh file change the start of it so it looks something like this start ShooterGameServer.exe Aberration_P this is from mine on windows so doubt itll be "start" and ".exe" but if you have any server running hopefully you can see based on this what you change

Help! It's a SERIOUS PROBLEM- my tribe leaders character is bugged out and unusable after 1,000+ hrs in ... He had 5 Rhyniogantha pheromones that appeared to be expired but still visibly appeared, just with an empty spoil timer. He fed one to a dino and it still worked, so he tried to move to another map w/ 2 in his inventory and 2 in his ark data. Upon map swapping, his character was repeatedly glitching out, with the "loading ark data" screen in and off the screen, until he got kicked. He dropped the 2 pheromones from his inventory but the 2 were stuck in his ark data and it seems to be the reason for the issue. However, our server admin tried to help and couldn't do anything to fix it. He tried to create a new character but the same issue is there since they share the same ark data apparently. So, the question is how can we FORCE CLEAR his ark data?

He did try to go to Club Ark since that previously had cleared our ark data inventory, but it didn't help in any way.

I reached out to Ark's forum page but we expect nothing from them. Is there really NO support for actually game related issues??

(Our server cluster is unofficial and non-dedicated, and our server admin have no way to help in this situation, even a roll back of the map(s) didn't help).

Edit: we play on Play Station 5 & it's a cross play enabled server if that matters.

ALSO, he isn't only tribe leader on multiple maps, but he also will lose access to MULTIPLE paid DLC's.

elder plover
# frozen knot i cant open the shootergameserver file and cant open a terminal in the location ...

ok I see when you're starting the server you're just running the shootergameserver file right? The way you edit alot of ark's server settings is by adding them to the command line when you run the server (its a .exe on windows I am not sure what it is on linux)

usually to save those command line arguments people create a .bat (which is equilivant to a .sh i believe on linux) with all those aguements included so for example

if you just double click the shootergameserver file you're just doing like

run shootergameserver
(again not sure on the exact syntax for linux it might not be run)
but what you want is to to do
run shootergameserver Aberration_P
so if you run shootergameserver from the terminal you can add that extra "Aberration_P" bit (which is the same as if you type the command into a .bat/.sh file and run that)

i'm not sure how much sense im managing to make here if you're new to runnign ark server a guide is defo the place to start because alot of them will provide you with a basic .sh/.bat file to get you started

elder plover
# random scroll Help! It's a SERIOUS PROBLEM- my tribe leaders character is bugged out and unusa...

if it's his ark upload data thats the issue the server admins should be able to delete his account's upload file (if its ASA then it'll be an epic online id, you can look up how to get these and for ASE i think it's steam id) assuming its the bugged uploaded items that are causing the issue thats where id start

upload data will be stored in whatever folder is setup as the cluster override directory

Someone had mentioned on the general channel that it was possible for admin to do, but that it would be a server wide impact and not player specific, but as I'm not an admin all I can do is collect the facts and share them with my admin lol they'll know what to do with your input, so I appreciate it !

What does your loot quality say in the .ini settings?

@exotic hazel

#

From my previous time showing somebody else

#

Then you edit the values to get whatever max level you prefer. Goes in intervals of 30 lvls per 1 OverrideOfficialDifficulty value.

exotic hazel
#

Is there no limit for the OverrideOfficialDifficulty value?

And where do I change those settings, is it in the game files or ?

fierce timber
#

It's stated where it is.

#

[ServerSettings] (In GUS.ini) GUS = GameUserSettings.ini

#

Then look for those values with search function and if they don't exist for some reason, copy paste and put whatever value for Override you want. The other one stays the same.

fierce timber
#

In "Windows" folder are both GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini, which is where a lot/most game tweaking occur for various values for base game and mods happen.

Then it takes me to character creation screen.

@unreal jasper @heavy raven you guys solved my issues, my GUS had a "0" in the ActiveMapMods and then had spawns set up in my Game.ini including Maeguanas so i copied those to a new note document so all I would need to do is copy it back when fixed and voila no server hanging or crashes when launching the Windows server!

Funny thing is that for a few ASA builds prior to Valentine event, SP (servers still had broken spawns) specifically had all spawns across the entire map working again for a short period of time. Then afterward it went back to being broken again.

# floral badger its very annoying since abbs one of the greater story maps

Yeah, Aberration is my favorite story/canon map for its environment/visuals/biomes/etc and WC has absolutely ruined it with bad performance (at least not as bad as Center which is a slideshow half the time in certain areas) and the lack of care on fixing the creature spawn issue which has been present for awhile. Can't even have fun with my favorite map due the game-breaking spawn issues, lol. I'm now playing on Scorched Earth for the time being until WC finally decides to fix it, if ever.

Having trouble starting up my dedicated server. Any time I include a -mods= segment in the command line, the server won't start, and gets stuck in Ticking Loop. As far as I know, it doesn't even make an attempt to load the map, which is Extinction. Without any mods, the server starts as normal. I've tried deleting mod data so that the server has to re-download everything just in case one of the mod installs got corrupted, that doesn't work. Tried forcing it to start a fresh save of the map in case that got corrupted, and that didn't work either.

Did they change some of the formatting around the mods since Astraeos, or something?

# lavish solar its unused. Remove before WC breaks it again

I would like to point something out. You do understand that if I delete the line and update the server when it validates, that it will re-add it, right?

It didn't exist there BEFORE the update, but it does afterward. Removing the line and then validating, WILL re-add it. Better to remove the 0 and be done with it entirely.

Whatever fantasy about "unused line break code" is just simply not true. It'll skip it.

How did people even ended up with activemapmod line. Did nitrado add it to their servers lol? I only ever used that line for astreos mod map and svart and never had problems with it but why would someone add it to a not a mod map

wise kindle
#

Before they added Astraeos as a DLC map, they had Nitrado add the mod version as an option into the regular non modded map dropdown menu. Which is highly unusual. I suspect it added it there.

So ppl who ran that map before, likely had that in their config and its just screwing up things left and right.

Not Nitrado based. This is from SteamCMD

v61.62 introduced the issue then was patched a day later 61.65
not sure why its still lurking around tbh

golden nest
#

The reason it's still lurking around is being their fix could simply just stop it from appending "ActiveModMaps". It won't actually delete the line or remove the 0 on it's own. That requires manual intervention to affected servers

distant hearth
#

yea aka just delete the dam line as i first said lolz,
just suprised theres servers that are still not working days later if there actively taking the notoriously buggy minor updates

golden nest
# distant hearth yea aka just delete the dam line as i first said lolz, just suprised theres ser...

I actually didn't notice the server wasn't working until today. My active players haven't been on the last few days because they got the flu. On top of this, we have over 600 days on our servers so... Starting it up and walking away is just normal. The time stamp in the bottom right showed: "3:2:39" while in the "Booting..." phase.

Was given a message that it wasn't working properly, which caused the alarm.

I have a problem with my Ark Cluster server. i host it and all but i cant seem to transport to another server with my character i tried everything and dont know whats the issue anymore can someone help

distant hearth
queen tusk
distant hearth
#

is it just charcter cant transfer or items cant either?

queen tusk
#

i cant see the server

distant hearth
#

oh thats alyways a cluster id issue, all servers need the same cluster id

queen tusk
#

they both are running and i can see them in the menu but when i join one of them i cant trasfer to another i cant see it at all

queen tusk
distant hearth
#

change it an try again, only time ive never been able to see another server is if the id is wrong

queen tusk
#

tried that alredy

distant hearth
#

ase or asa servers?

queen tusk
#

ase

distant hearth
#

both servers show in the ingame search lists?

queen tusk
#

yes

distant hearth
#

im kinda at a loss then tbh , my last resort wud be change the ports the servers run on. This is just a random shot in the dark though , without knowing the full in an out of the setup , ini files and start command lines

queen tusk
#

if u want i can send u my setup for the server in private messages

distant hearth
#

you can send it here, just put xxxx in place of any data u dont want share like passwords

queen tusk
#

what do u need exactly

distant hearth
#

both servers run from the same local machine? they run from same .exe or seperate .exe?, whats in the server start commands ?
what are the transfer filter settings in the gus.ini

queen tusk
# 
ShooterGameServer "Extinction?SessionName=ClusterExtinction?AltSaveDirectoryName=Extinction?Port=7782?QueryPort=27020" -NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride=C:\ArkServers\clusters -clusterid=xxxx
```\
#

they run from the same machine

distant hearth
queen tusk
#

this is the content of the .bat script im running it with

distant hearth
#

?altsavedirectory is only used if both servers run from same .exe

#

-ClusterDirOverride=xxxxxx
is only used if they run from seperate .exe

#

-NoTransferFromFiltering is only needed if you dont use a cluster id

#

so , do they run from seperate .exe or the same .exe?

#

you also have quotations in weird places likely causing the main issue as i think its ignoring cluster id
it shud look more like this

ShooterGameServer Extinction?SessionName="ClusterExtinction"?AltSaveDirectoryName="Extinction"?Port=7782?QueryPort=27020 -clusterid=xxxx```
or 
```ShooterGameServer Extinction?SessionName="ClusterExtinction"?Port=7782?QueryPort=27020" -ClusterDirOverride="C:\ArkServers\clusters" -clusterid=xxxx```
golden nest
#

You're missing -ClusterDirOverride=<path to store cluster data>

#

The top one is correct otherwise.

#

As a side note, the session name is stored as a string. So you can write: SessionName="Cluster Extinction" It does NOT need to be one word if there's double quotation marks.

distant hearth
#

the top one is correct for ase if running servers from same .exe , as ive already written above, the bottom one is correct for seperate exe,
never tested but im sure the bottom one wud work for both tbh .
asa doesnt really need alt save directory as it does it by default
exception wud be if wanted to run two servers with the same map id think

queen tusk
#

I tried both now and it still doesnt work im sorry for taking so much of ur time.

distant hearth
queen tusk
#

how do i know if its seperate or same

distant hearth
queen tusk
#

i have the same server install

distant hearth
golden nest
#

ShooterGameServer Extinction?SessionName="Cluster Extinction"?AltSaveDirectoryName="Extinction Test"?Port=7782?QueryPort=27020 -clusterid=xxxx

ShooterGameServer TheIsland?SessionName="Cluster The Island"?AltSaveDirectoryName="The Island Test"?Port=7783?QueryPort=27021 -clusterid=xxxx

Just to test, make 2 different batch files with the above settings and run them both. Change the ports if you want, but make sure that both the port and queryport are DIFFERENT by at least 1

queen tusk
#

i did all of that

distant hearth
golden nest
#

Lets go a step further, can you physically see the servers in the browser and connect to both individually?

distant hearth
#

they can , already checked that , but anyway im off to bed so gonna hope u can help

queen tusk
#

but i cant see them when i join one and try to transfer to another

golden nest
#

Have you port forwarded in the router by chance?

queen tusk
#

no

#

dont think so

golden nest
#

Do you know how to get there or do you need assistance?

queen tusk
#

i dont know

golden nest
#

Alrighty this is going to take some time to learn. Let's do a step-by-step process.

  1. Press the windows key and type "command prompt"
  2. In the command prompt, type ipconfig and press enter
  3. Look for "Default Gateway". It'll have numbers like 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 normally
  4. Type that number (with decimals) into your web browser.
  5. Once at the login screen, go to your physical router and look for an admin password.
  6. Type "admin" for your username, and then the admin password in.
  7. Look for "Port Forwarding" within your router. Normally it's under advanced or firewall settings.
  8. In the same Command Terminal that you used in step 2, look for your IPv4 address.
  9. Type in the ports that you're using (7782, 7783, 27020, 27021) with their proper TCP/UDP.
  10. Assign them to the IPv4 address you found earlier which is normally in a drop down box
queen tusk
#

does the password have only numbers?

golden nest
#

It normally has a mix of letters and numbers, make sure it says: "Admin Password" or something to indicate that it isn't the password you use to connect to the internet. If it's all numbers, try it anyway

queen tusk
#

where do i type the port exactly

golden nest
#

I'll need a screenshot to know.

You should see a text box that takes a number, it's protocol, and then a drop down for your IPv4 address

queen tusk
#

ill screenshot it

golden nest
#

If it won't let you paste it here, upload to imgur and drop the link to it here

queen tusk
#

its in fanart and screenshots

golden nest
#

Firstly, name the port its actual numbers for ease of use

Type in the same port for both slots for the WAN Port and Lan Host Port

LAN host will be your IPv4 address

And leave WAN Host IP Address empty

MAC Mapping set to off then press apply

olive talon
queen tusk
#

ok

#

So what now

golden nest
#

After that's all done, restart both servers and try to transfer

queen tusk
#

will i need to do all of that again if i want to add more servers

golden nest
#

Yup, welcome to the world of networking

#

It'll become easier over time.

At face value, it's really just logging into your router, typing in similar info, and then opening a new server. It's just tedium at the end of the day.

Your IPv4 address and the site to your router config will never change, so if you can remember them, you can bypass the IPconfig step entirely.

if you can run the server non-stop. leaving it run until updates happen is fine.

Long story short, we had this mod called “Armor Improved” where it increases the armor and durability. However, we did not know that it disables Tek Armor. Someone suggested the Unlock All Engrams ini command to “fix it”. Nothing really happened we and we decided to remove the mod and fixed it. But I decided to remove the command as well until I was told that people couldn’t use their Tek engrams anymore so I had to put it back. Maybe the command might be the cause why only certain areas we get drops

it's entirely possible the mod really borked the loot drops & engrams

Seems that its only backing up every 130 minutes

gusty wind
#

does anybody know if theres a dedicated server command or usersetting line to increase server timeout for a dedicated server? if thats just the experience its extremely broken and other players will rarely join a nondescript lowpop XD... btw this is heavily modded, took my friend a few tries last time.

#

minor inconvenience with average modern internet speeds, but i can imagine anyone dealing with sat would take more than a dozen clicks for it to finish. and i do realize it auto subs you, so it automatically downloads all of the mods and it will naturally finish on its own if you just wait then click join again, but this visual discrepency is probably disheartening if youre unaware.

#

rather it just keep people on standby if thats even a setting ark and or steamcmd supports.

#

wasnt even obvious to me, but a very odd discrepency to leave in, its visually disheartening even when you know its still doing its thing after adding a new mod to the server. WORLDS ahead of the unplayable gamepass versions, so many discrepencies and broken features that just werent broken on the steam version at all. i mean port to xbox, port back to pc through gamepass, cant even say the joke here. XD

#

id imagine if there was a setting, itd be in the default cmd batch on most reliable hosts.

#

its abit goof

gusty wind
#

figured it out, as in that it cant be fixed. thats because unlike most say, its clientside. when you click join, your client times out due to the button being grey during the process, a failed connect with an infinate timeout would force you to alt f4 rather than try joining again. instead of information relays, i dont think evolved was intended to run mods initially, ascended has 0 issues with timeouts during mod downloads. it is 100% the time it takes to download majorly modded servers causing the client to timeout so you dont feel forced to forcequit if you dont want to wait. jank, but its STILL downloading all the mods, so if you wait without knowing how much more time, it still works. think thats the point, and the size of some mods exceeded expectations, or alot of peoples patience, and for some reason they couldnt let you cancel during the join process... be it technical, or prioritization.

wise kindle
#

TLDR wut

gusty wind
#

working on a server, figured out the timeout was actually clientside, not serverside like most posts claim.

#

so its impossible to fix, and a huge oversight visually. it just frustrates people.

#

it actually has no impact on connection at all... connecting both to the steam to download mods and ark server and relaying between to know when youre done rather than default timeout nomatter what.... ascended doesnt use the workshop on any platform, and mod.io (if thats what theyre using, or the microsoft version) does actually communicate together with gameservers to make it a seamless experience. gmod managed this by building the game around the idea of community modifications, so the netcode is much more robust.

#

long, but man its hard to explain. and its a bummer because i DOUBT anyones gonna take a few losses to join a random quiet server.

#

if you have a way to stop the inevitable timeout on huge mod downloads, please! XD

#

ill add it to my server right away

fierce timber
#

Just a limitation of the game, unfortunately. So I always installed/updated stuff prior to joining anything to prevent any issues when I used to play ASE.

gusty wind
#

yea, figured, thats how i figured out its a clientside "feature" originally, before mods became huge.

#

its becaause once steam starts downloading, it leaves the game connection in limbo, or youd probably crash or freeze without the proper files.

#

there was no intention for it to relay progress initially

#

ascended, definately designed with mods forefront... i mean, my own opinion, ase in just about every way is far superior, unless you mean visuals. but ascended visuals even at over 100fps, no framegen or dlss, feels like mud using any mouse.

gusty wind
#

and the gamepass and console versions? those need jesus, and im not even religious

cosmic nimbus
#

if i wanted to host a private server for me and friends to play on but they can join whenever, would that cost money?

gusty wind
#

from what i experienced, no, if you can get through your ISP's default modem with ports. issues, you have to use your own cpu, ram etc to host it, usually not a huge issue today. you have to use steamcmd, manual config files, manual backups and restores, manual launcher batch, and have your modload order setup manually. i hit a brick wall when i realized my new modem has NO port forwarding, or NAT control. my router does.

#

15 a month on the low end, you get a 30pop server with a custom gui to control all of that, and edit the files to circumvent settings that dont exist.

cosmic nimbus
cosmic nimbus
gusty wind
#

if you edit the files with text to circumvent the editor deleting stuff on save, never save again with the config editor, it will delete custom text lines.

#

aka singleplayermode=true meaning its suitable for singleplayer/coop.

#

thats an example

#

in the config, and in the launcher you add stuff like the name say -Bigarkserver

gusty wind
#

problems with using your own machine, if its supposed to act as a coop save, it has to be rented, or hosted on a spare machine, and just knowing command console and having an open modem, aka user control over exposure.

olive talon
gusty wind
#

being able to start the server and control everything about it as an admin is important, a host hosted dedicated server is incapable.

#

sorry, thats what i meant, you can, but the problem is hosting with your own hardware comes with limitations on you and your friends planning to join.

#

and much more complication, nobody has an inhouse setup, so for a simpler user, thats not really an option. thats what i was trying to say.

#

i can do it, but i chose not to after getting it setup, it was too unreliable and failures werent auto-flashed. i had to spend alot of time.

#

uses the same system, lacks the automatic execution.

olive talon
#

More often than not, it's simple and straightforward.

#

Either way their question was answered

gusty wind
#

it is, im going very highly specified. but if you want to have a "shared save" having a server dedicated to you and friends that can be opened and closed at will, very important. alot of people do, its a fun modded sandboxy experience. its just not possible without having a dedicated server. and making that simple for those who might not want to, or know how to deal with that is the job of renting. if they want to know how to set it up most of us can help, but i dont reccomend it as a casual player, i know how to play, but i mostly only know about computers, and i personally find coding annoying, and unreliable if what you need is backups just incase you mess up the save. a reliable source if what you want is a server that you can transfer to singleplayer or another host at a moments notice. dedicated rented if you want offsite and onsite reliability so you dont lose your stuff. its really a choice.

#

he literally said it hurt his brain talking about port forwarding and if youre using a router under a modem both need to be done.... thats why i mentioned rented.

#

its actually sometimes NOT possible, some modern modems dont even have NAT settings... like mine -_-

olive talon
#

Overcomplicating things can do that sometimes...

gusty wind
#

forget port forwarding if NAT is provider locked

#

i guess.... it IS complicated, and really dumb that some providers will supply "dumb" modems. but they do.

#

mine is, port and nat control is provider locked

Also depends on what fps you're used to gaming at. If you're used to gaming on low fps games/consoles/etc, then maybe it won't be an issue. But if you're coming from games that actually run well and running at higher frame rates, it'll feel pretty jarring.

Hi i wanted to add events to my singleplayer save on ASA but i really don't like the bright dino colors they add, so anyone know is there a way to disable these event colors?

Pretty sure they're tied together. Just don't dino wipe your SP or start a fresh save with it enabled/applied, and only new stuff will spawn in with the colors. So less overall of the event colors so you can use/enjoy whatever event and then remove it eventually.

Wondering if someone could have a solution for this issue.
My cluster started a password protected map for events. However some have been able to get on it, and others are not able too. Those struggling with it can access it from main menu, but not from any of our maps. They have tried to checked the box "show private" and still nothing.
Do they possibly have a setting on their end stopping them? Or could it be on our end?

I run tons of mods together with no issues that I've noticed, but results may vary player to player.

when running a dedicated server is there a way to open another instance of the game so you can play as well?

What are you running the dedicated server through?

Is there a way to increase dino follow distance? They seem to stop rendering/following around 250m and I would like to increase it to around 400m.

i think i may have found a little tip for the transfer glitch, it seems to happen when you transfer of course but its always the "2nd time" i transfer, i log in and can transfer map with no problem, but if i stay logged in and try to transfer for a 2nd time then it happens, been testing and seems to be that most of the time

so as a fix for now dont transfer 2 times in 1 session, if you want to transfer reset your game first by quitting the game and logging back in BEFORE you transfer, i also let the "MOTD" disappear first, not sure if thats part of it but seems to work for now

Anyone else have like a 20+ second save of Gen 2? if so is there a fix? Using ASM

#

ive watched some vids and looked through reddit and they say i need a dedicated server

#

is it demanding to create a dedicated server

#

like spec wise

ASE is crossplay epic to steam

Epic steam was exception also, just epic can't use mods

wise kindle
#

The only caveat is Epic cant play with mods.
So modded Steam servers are a no go for Epic.

Nondedicated is not worth it, imo, but the guide is there for when it does work

Hello everyone , I’m trying to set up a custom server on my vps , I’ve followed a couple of yt vids but when I set the .bat file and open it , it closes instantly. Anyone who can help? Much appreciated (Ark survival evolved)

What effect does unclustering 1 map from a cluster of 11 have on inventory players currently have in upload?

Would it effect all uploads across the entire server cluster? Or only upload people sent up from the map that gets unclustered?

olive talon
onyx gale
#

Yes but in the past I've had maps become unclustered and it causes players uploaded inventories to get wiped.

I have a player with a glitched item in his upload that's preventing him from accessing any remote inventory at all without crashing his game and causing timeout errors.

I'd like to uncluster the single map he's on and see if it clears it up, which has been recommended as a fix online. However, I'm nervous about how it may affect other players inventories across the cluster.

olive talon
onyx gale
#

Yeah my bad I should have provided some context lol.

So would I expect it to wipe anything in anyone's upload across the entire server if I unclustered the one map?

Does anyone else's self hosted server randomly lose tribe status for any members and know how to stop it from happening or at least lessen the frequency? I know they can be forced back into the tribe and whatnot when it happens but I'd really like to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Is there a way to enable the 15 minute upload/transfer timer on private/dedicated servers hosted by Nitrado? Looking to enable the same timer that exists on official servers. Noticing an issue with stacked items sometimes duplicating if transfering multiple times in quick succession. We've had multiple clusters on other forums also express this. Even clsuters with 0 mods and base vanilla built seeing it so we can't just point at a mod causing it.

If you're changing .ini values, is your game closed when doing so?

When is the update going to be available on Steam for unofficial servers? Still waiting for the update to hit the Steam depot. Shows there was a record update 22 minutes ago but public branch still shows last update was 6 days ago.

jaunty vortex
#

I swear nobody reads the updates

west dock
#

so we just wait till they send the update for the server? You'd think they would push the client and server at the same time lmao

jaunty vortex
#

they did. And then found the client won't talk to the server

west dock
#

so 63.6 isn't the version they need to be?

gentle niche
#

so boring, is there a way to roll back my server version lol? cba waiting

jaunty vortex
#

Steam will force your client to update though

gentle niche
#

i usually dont do server updates right away, i would have been able to play if hadnt updated server right? or no

jaunty vortex
#

no, because the client update would be forced and therefore too new to connect to your server

celest halo
#

2nd client update just hit steam lol

gentle niche
jaunty vortex
#

hopefully just the Steam client with the issue or Xbox and PS will need recertification

Why am I seeing a greyed-out list of all servers I’ve ever joined in unofficial 😅

#

dapper pebble
#

Is there a way to clear favorited servers? I’ve had 600+ servers come up as favorited since the update 💀

frigid vine
#

So they revertet only the client 63.7 update right?

#

server with 63.3 is safe?
