[unborn hollow]

How long should it take for my Ark server to update to install??

[frigid vine]

Depends on your hardware & bandwidth. On modern hardware with good connection around a minute per server.

[unborn hollow]

It’s been doing it for like 30 mins plus

[frigid vine]

The connection to steam can sometimes be really slow. Means you're waiting for connection to get the udpate.

Thats not normal 🙂 Restart?

[unborn hollow]

Its says I can force start or force stop the server, should do I do either??

[frigid vine]

i dont your setup 🙂 If you just using the steamcmd (native) stop the server, do the update, start the server.

[wise kindle]

If its Nitrado, Id let it run. They eventually complete.

[unborn hollow]

Yeah it’s nitrado

[sharp lake]

If you are an ASA Server Owner and your server is stuck in a stalled restart after the update, here's how to get your server started:

Stop your server.
Scroll down to Backup in General settings.
Set the start with backup to your most recent save. The one with the latest date and time, not "start with current savegame".
Save changes and then wait 10 minutes for it to go through.
Then restart server.

(for Nitrado servers)

[static moat]

Still can't find my server 😒

[dreamy aurora]

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I can't start my server anymore. When I start it, it gets stuck at this point:

[2025.03.27-23.42.01:902][ 14]Full Startup: 17.40 seconds  
[2025.03.27-23.42.01:903][100]Number of cores 16  

No matter what I try, it won’t go any further. I have already completely deleted and reinstalled the server, but the problem persists. There are no mods or custom configurations installed.

[robust nymph]

Is the update good to use? Says about revert in #status-updates

[thorn dock]

i cant seem to update the server any ideas

[celest halo]

check your GUS for ActiveMapMod=0 and if in there remove it

[dreamy aurora]

Thanks that was it, whatever the reason was that it was suddenly back in the gus on my old servers

[austere jolt]

Im stuck on it updating and that didnt seem to work

two of my servers updated fine but my extinction one isnt

[hushed maple]

Same we just tried it for ours also and still at the same screen as before

[dry elk]

Everyone else serv down too?

[thorn dock]

i had to restore 25hrs the new update f my server

[jovial walrus]

Yes

[azure herald]

All our servers are working except for Astra. ;_;

[limber pond]

All ours are still down

[jovial walrus]

What did you do

[meager quartz]

Servers I play on are still down sadly

[drowsy current]

there a new setting to disable wind turbine decay? don't wnna deal with it when im just playing on a dedicated server

[dense wind]

Anyone host dedicated servers on Linux?

[warped python]

does anyone know if there's a list of engram names for the skins in the animation pack by any chance?

i'd like to hide the Animated Series Cosmetic Pack engrams from the crafting tab as wildcard borked up the promotional preview location for them.
now they're messing up the crafting tab area of my players when they search for engrams or hide folders

[dull vault]

Good morning everyone, sorry I have a question. I have an Ark Evolved server that I set up myself on a Linux server, but the chat doesn't work—neither the global and tribe chat box nor the voice chat. I've tried everything, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The server is for both Steam and Epic, and from what I read, I was supposed to enable Vivox, but I’ve done everything and nothing works. Could anyone help me?

I'm desperate.

[tender hatch]

is the newest major patch not ready for unofficials?
My Servers wont load the update. Based on Nitrado

[humble thicket]

can somebody help me with the structure decay settings? what do i need to add to which file to enable official 1x decay timer?

[arctic mica]

Yeah it was ready yesterday

[tender hatch]

but why my servers still boot up in 63.3 ? instead of 63.7

[arctic mica]

63.3 is the latest

[warped python]

yeah, it's a bit confusing patchnote clientside vs serverside, but 63.3 is latest indeed
(i went flying to see if i could spot the new dino to make sure as i had the same doubt you had ^^)

[arctic mica]

Yeah they either messed up the version number in the patch notes or on the deployment lol

Or 63.6 isn't ready yet so they deployed 63.3 instead, who knows honestly

[jaunty vortex]

Client and server can have different versions. As long as the first number matches, you’re good.

[celest halo]

.6 was one with critical issue they said in #status-updates so they had to go with an older version

[jaunty vortex]

They rolled back the server release to an earlier one. It’s in status updates.

[celest halo]

Yup

[humble thicket]

The dedicated storage is bugging on the unofficial server and it couldn't be created in the replicator because it doesn't recognize it. Can someone fix it? Please.

[dense wind]

Is there a configuration tool / GUI like I used on windows?

Or am I just stuck with SteamCMD and a text editor?

I see arch server manager for linux on GitHub .. but it looks CLI.

There's just so many settings a GUI would really be handy

[celest halo]

Don’t know never looked for one, I been doing manual sets since ase lol. And using a custom discord bot I made and ansible to control them, 😂

[dense wind]

Okieeee

[dull vault]

If you'd like, I can give you a tool. It's paid, but it costs only $10 as a one-time payment, and you can install 5 servers... it's really good. The only problem I have right now is with the chat, which is what I'm currently checking. I paid for it, and honestly, I really like it! It's the same tool that Hostinger uses for their game panel.

I'm not getting paid or anything, but I came across it, and it's really good.

[dense wind]

Ty, if I need to I'll run wine and just use the Windows version anyway

Then I can run all 13 maps with wonderful config, for free.

$10 one time payment isn't too bad tho

[dull vault]

Okay, anyway, I'll leave you the name of the administrator. It doesn't just let you run ARK servers, but also other games like Minecraft and such. I’ll tell you, the only problem right now is that the voice chat doesn’t work properly.

->> cubecoders AMP

[jaunty vortex]

AMP I use for Minecraft. I don’t like it for Ark. it doesn’t give enough access to logs.

I use ASAM for Ark.

When I tested it, it wasn’t showing the console logs. From memory the devs said they couldn’t read them.

I like AMP. I run about 15 Minecraft servers from AMP. I just don’t use it for Ark.

[dull vault]

Can you send me a page for ASAM

Yes, you can see the logs.

Now the only problem I have is that my voice chat does not work, I activate Vivox but it seems not to work and I already try many things.

If anyone knows how to set it up, I would be very grateful.

[jaunty vortex]

Sent you a discord invite for ASAM

ASAM is free, BTW

Try it, it won’t cost to give it a go. You can always try AMP too.

[dull vault]

But ASAM its for Windows?

[jaunty vortex]

Yes.

AMP is Windows or Linux.

[dull vault]

The problem is that the server I have is Linux...

[jaunty vortex]

Give AMP a try then

[dull vault]

Yes, I am using AMP... the problem is that neither the chat box nor the voice chat works forme

[jaunty vortex]

Problem is Ark doesn’t have a proper Linux version. So life will be a bit harder

Shame they’ve not done that for ASA

[jaunty vortex]

Are you doing this for ASE?

[dull vault]

Yep

[jaunty vortex]

Forget ASAM then, it’s for ASA

[green narwhal]

Does your extinction map work. Even with cs mods ? Because i have to take down my whole cluster Because extinction doesnt woren for me after the patch yesterday

[jaunty vortex]

You from Glasgow? Putting but on the end of a sentence is a very Glasgow thing to do 🙂 I should know, I live there 😂

[dull vault]

So am I ruined with that chat?

[green narwhal]

Help pls ?

What did ya all do after the patch. I saw something with roleback but how do i do this

[dull vault]

Well, not even text chat works... well... at least it is not left on my server ...

[arctic mica]

Extinction works fine for me after patch, no rollback

[green narwhal]

Hmm ok thx for the feedback

[dull vault]

I thank you both. @polar echo @jaunty vortex

[azure herald]

We had to restore the world save, I think. 🤔

[pulsar raft]

Does anyone know the code used for daynight cycle, astreaos is weird when it comes to day n night

anyone has the right config typo to add a spawn of a creature ?

[lavish solar]

So what i have found using Start Params and/or Ini for Server port Port=12345 Does not set the port
I watch my firewall and players are joining in using from first map starting 7777 and increasing automatically depending on the order the maps start

[hallow briar]

@low haven sir i can now join servar unofficial xbox im player pc

[lavish solar]

i have not tried that one..
I did try ?Port= and ini.. will try - now

[celest halo]

?port was ASE and only works for a few with ASA, -port works for most people with ASA

[lavish solar]

Worked on my asa till this update lol
But @polar echo Thank you so much

[celest halo]

Yeah, some people it worked for most people it never did though, but it's WC so nothing's consistent 🤣

[lavish solar]

I know right..
Now to update my files lol

[scenic rapids]

Hello people, I don't know if I'm in the right channel or not, I'm having issues when doing hosting a single player game. I keep trying to remove mods from my list, but they keep adding themselves back onto the list. Anyone have a solution to this problem other than resubscribing from all of the mods?

Thanks for the reply, but the mods are adding themselves back on without exiting the setup menu, also I can stream if anyone is willing to take a look. I may not be explaining it correctly.

I clicked Host\local go to the right side of the screen and start removing mods, and they just keep reappearing

No I don't start the game, I was working on making a new game with new mods

yea

Oh is this discord for the other game XD

Oh I see

All good friend, thanks for trying!

[fierce timber]

IIRC, mod loading should be the same for ASE as it is in ASA. Stuff isn't saved unless you launch a SP world with the changes.

[humble thicket]

[terse nest]

any1 can help me ? on my server all the dinos cant breed if there is no one in render ... is there any mod or set up on nitrado that i can disable this shit ? i mean i need that the dinos breed still if no one in the render ...

[austere bone]

has anyone found a way to disable wind turbines decay by chance?

[toxic hazel]

Normal for ASA, i use the hitching post in the cs mod to keep breeders put of stasis

[terse nest]

So if we gonna use the hitching post they can breed if no one is in render?

[humble thicket]

hi guys! im tryna play a non dedicate server with my friend, but he keeps getting connection timeout when joining. my other friend can join.
he already

1. reset his game and pc
2. launched as admin
3. made sure he has no mods
4. disabled firewall
   anything else to try?

[fierce timber]

If it's non-dedicated, it could potentially be that their connection to you is the issue/problem due to internet strength/speed and/or distance from you.

[scenic ferry]

Is there a specific setting that enables/disables XP from killing your own (baby) dinos? I know it doesn't give XP on official, but it does on unofficial

[olive talon]

Yes, it's disabled by default on pve, even unofficials. I had to manually re-add it to mine.

UnclaimedKillXPMultiplier=1

[scenic ferry]

Are you sure? I don't have that line in any of my config files, just killed a 225 baby carch (using friendly fire, not tribe war) and got around 160k xp (general xp x3) (server is pve)

[olive talon]

It might have been fixed in the past few months, but I definitely had to add it to mine.

[dapper pebble]

Has anyone migrated their astreos mod map to the official map? If so did you keep your save or did you have to start fresh

[wise kindle]

I believe ppl had to start fresh.

[pallid kestrel]

Anyone else getting really high ping on servers since update?

I need help
I host a pvp server on the center and for some reason any structures build in caves take 10x more explosives etc to damage
There no damage increase to cave structures, more like damage reduction
(Example: I used 150 c4 and 50 rockets just to do 10k damage on a vault, and the vault still stood with 40k health in said cave)
This creates an extremely unfair advantage to anyone not built in caves or trying to raid others that are in caves.
I’ve researched and there’s nothing that pertains to this issue and nothing in server setting specifies an adjustment for it.
Any tips? Could really use it.

[warm lake]

is anyone else having issues with version mismatches between steam, xbox, and nitrado?
I just rented and configured a server about an hour ago to play with my son. I play on PC (Steam) and my son plays on Xbox. My steam ASA version is v63.12, his Xbox version is v63.7, and the nitrado server is v63.11
None of our devices have updates for ARK so I'm not sure how to fix this is or what to do. Just seeing if anyone else has experienced this or can offer any guidance. Thanks!

[wise kindle]

According to the #patch-notes this is intended.

Hi How can I download and install mods on epic games?

[vast mason]

I just wiped my server, how do people still have access to uploaded items? I thought I deleted all tribute data.

Is this save data saved somewhere else?

[wise kindle]

Epic Games doesnt support mods.

Sorry what?

[mystic arrow]

Not sure if anyone has any advice but;

I've been running a unofficial server from a PC for the last couple weeks with no problems. I opened all ports, added everything through the firewalls and whitelisted for my antivirus program.

Yesterday night I updated the Ark Server Version to 63.11.

When I open Ark ASA on Xbox, I can see the server in the list, it will let me login to it with the password, but only access via local.

When I have a friend connect from a different IP, the connection just times out after he enters the password to connect.

It leads me to believe something is blocking connections from beyond my firewall/router/modem, but everything is set the same as it's been and hasn't been an issue until the updates last night.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[olive talon]

No, it is against ToS and no one will help you with cracked versions.

ok thx

Hello, is the ini settings configurable like S+ was? Im trying to increase the slot count and crafting speed for crafting stations. This was possible in S+ but it doesnt seem to work here.

[olive talon]

No, you still have to use mods for that stuff. Cybers Structures is basically S+ for ASA

[wise kindle]

You have to wipe your cluster ID to wipe the obelisk.

Can someone help us. We are playing weeks with 13 mods in our server. Now since yesterday we cannot place the mod items anymore. When trying the picture fades away. Stuff already placed is still there. When we pick up existing mod items and want to replace them it wont work either. What is causing this and how can we fix this?

[fierce timber]

What mods are you using? What mod is having issues with placement? What's your load order?

[noble glen]

We use 13 mods since the start and only after the last ark update this is occuring. load order is the same since the start of the server

[spice zealot]

I’m adding a scorched server to have a cluster. However I want to have some mods exclusive to that server and not my island server. Is this possible and how does it work? Like I wouldn’t want all of the same mods. If that makes sense?

So my question is how does that work?

[minor star]

Über welchen anbieter bekommt man (preis - leistungstechnisch) nen günstigen cluster ? (Für Ase)

[wise kindle]

Reinstall the mods on your client.

[hallow pumice]

You can do it, but learnt engrams and items those engrams made will break moving between them.

like if you didn't have CS on each server, then the tribute packs you can make will dissapear when going to a server without CS.. but if you want to have RR on a server so people can gamble, then you will be fine. If you have a stacking mod, that will be a problem.. so it depends which mods you thinking about.

[tacit marsh]

Anyone have a problem with not being able to place structures? I'm only having the issue on the Island. All of the other maps in my cluster with the same mods don't have this issue.

[gentle sail]

hey so I have mods and suddenly none of the mods are allowing items to be placed how can I go about fixing that?

Is it better to get the 7700 or the 7600X for a dedicated server

[rough brook]

Hiii,
Is it possible to use survive of the fittest on a dedicated Server?

[timid gust]

7700 is just simply better for everything.

[toxic hazel]

which ever has better single core performance

Equal

Only difference is core count and L2 cache

[noble glen]

Hi doesnt work. Tried even to reinstall the server. Added all mods 1 by one and with every mod single in it still nothing placeable

[noble glen]

We have this issue also

[gentle sail]

It's mod issues. The mod makers haven't updated on some of the mods to the new patch or update that was rolled out

[noble glen]

okay hope they will fix this soon

[gentle sail]

I have been reaching out to mod makers to get them to fix it

[noble glen]

ah thats great 🙂

[noble glen]

Are there even mods already updated? Because i have the building problem with all of them

[gentle sail]

okay please i need help

i have probleme with the game when i start the game the hosted crash

youre hosting your own server
ark survival evolved

i

[bleak ivy]

gonna need more context on whats crashing, what you are doing, and are you hosting the server on the same device? etc

[steep spire]

can you come in my dm

[bleak ivy]

pictures can be in DMs but you should do the messages here so more can help.

[steep spire]

so when i want launch my own server a message come sry im fr

a window spawn but not the game

[bleak ivy]

if you want to play and host at the same time through the client you need to host a non-dedicated.

dedicated on steam will open the server GUI and close the client

you can host a dedicated server by downloading the server files separately tho.

[steep spire]

okay but i cant invite my frends

[bleak ivy]

a dedicated server would need to be port-forwarded for people outside your network to join.

non-dedi they can just join through steam (given enough tries, it can be buggy)

[steep spire]

okay i gonna try but i dont have the button in game to invite

[bleak ivy]

are you on epic?

on steam you just use steam's invite system. ark doesn't have its own.

[steep spire]

nop

okay

[barren ridge]

Are all servers down?

[bleak ivy]

no

[barren ridge]

They aren’t showing up for me

Never mind I restarted my game and they are back

ASE or ASA? which tab? what platform?

lol

[jagged kiln]

It's possible to save a Server Backup on nitrado to play your World a half year later cos it ll be deleted after 1 month not playing. And the other question is : if you Played on a Cluster and the server with your character is deleted can you get your character back somehow on other Server on the same Cluster which is still online ?

[wise kindle]

No and no.

[bleak ivy]

pretty sure you can download the save if you own the server. but otherwise you'd need to ask the owner.

if the server is open to singleplayer you could transfer to singleplayer. would also need to ask the owner to open it tho. just have them disable downloads and only allow uploads

#patch-notes major patch is there

[jovial walrus]

1 out off 3 can join our server ?...

[viscid moss]

ok so i guess that answered part of my question.

[frigid vine]

Its always the same: Major patch needs server and client update

[jovial walrus]

There is no update on server ...

[celest halo]

Yes there, or unless your on Nitardo then you need to wait for them to offer it 😂

[jovial walrus]

We have nitrado

But why can some players get on our server and some not ???

[celest halo]

Because of how updates work

[ruby merlin]

anyone else not seeing their servers after recent patch

[jovial walrus]

Yes

[ruby merlin]

yeah i should have read up before typing lol

[tranquil fox]

My servers wont show up

[tepid berry]

I couldn't get the cat to spawn unless I did the trick that we had to use back when Astraeos came out, removing the content folders and re-downloading the server. I hate that they broke updates like this...

[queen yarrow]

Probably because Nitrado hasn't gotten the update yet.

[ruby merlin]

my unofficial is doing an update now

[queen yarrow]

Some updated, and some didn't.

[queen yarrow]

Must be nice. Nitrado is lagging horribly on the web UI. Like 5 seconds after a click.

Ours is currently updating, now. Just started.

[ruby merlin]

uh oh my hole clusters stuck on updating

[lilac osprey]

So is my server, i dont want to force stop it, but it has been updating for like 15 minutes

Stopping for 15 mins usually helps

ok

So force stop?

[tidal geyser]

Ok I’m going to attempt doing that now

[austere jolt]

You might need to stop and select the latest save and start with that save. You will rollback a few hours maybe 5 hours max but will most likley fix it

The stopping for 20 minutes and restarting over and over again till it works still isnt working for me so might as well just do a rollback cause that worked last time for me

[grizzled jasper]

Well.. with a server full of people doing things... A rollback its a bad decision. Im gonna stick to the wait strategy lol.

[austere jolt]

Yeah but sometimes rolling back an hour or so is better than making people wait. Can also be the only fix sometimes lol

[wise kindle]

I have servers that have been running the update for over 2 hours that are still completing. Its best to just let the update finish.

[lilac osprey]

My server took pretty long to update, but it finished finally.

[grizzled jasper]

Nah. Not in my opinion. People can wait patiently. Its a game after all

[runic sphinx]

How long is pretty long?

[coarse fern]

he's ingame now @lilac osprey aint getting back to you xD

[lilac osprey]

Prolly over an hour for better or worse, i force stopped it, but retried it.

[coarse fern]

retracts previous statement about not replying

[gilded river]

Anyone else had their severs corrupted after the update?

[lilac osprey]

Mercifully no, id full send lose it if it broke completely.

[tight sedge]

So my buddy has a server that a few of us all play. Does anyone know why it is grayed out for me and says unknown as the map and 0/0 players then blank for the rest of the info. I’ve hit refresh many times and still nothing. But we have a person in our DC that says there able to log in

[runic sphinx]

Didn't bother to read any of this chat then?

[topaz venture]

the newest patch broke nitrado servers for some people. nitrado servers are stuck in an infinite update loop and the person in the DC probably maybe on a previous patch. the same thing happend to me until i updated my game

[onyx gale]

It's not infinite it just takes a while (for me). My cluster has 11 servers. A few took the update and advertised right away. A few started to advertise and looped 5 or 6 times but eventually sorted themselves out. Two of them sat on updating for almost an hour then started up and advertised without issue.

Ultimately all 11 resolved themselves and advertised persistently without any intervention at all. Just had to be patient and let them sit for about an hour altogether

[wise kindle]

I have 2 out of my 22 servers still updating. I'm just letting them go and they are slowly completing and coming online.

[solar fern]

What is your current server verison? My are down and just updated but i dont see a patch note from WC

i see that but my servers are at 64.2 the patch notes say i should be at 64.1- this has happened in the past and I have to reinstall to fix just makeing sure that not the case

great day for the dyslexia to be working over time! Thanks!!

[mortal robin]

Heya I'm wondering what is the correct spawn command for the modded Desolatitan, I am using the one he gives in the files (Sdf Desolatitan 1 150 1) but it is not working on my unofficial Island map

[grizzled jasper]

This its weird. I click on start, server tries to restart, but goes to offline again. I dont get why this is happening...

[nocturne coral]

Anyone's unofficial server crash with the kitty? Idk. Just the kitty maps?

I guess I could look at the crash log.... gross

[grizzled jasper]

Nope. All good

[last magnet]

mine's stable, I've not gone into the game yet /knock on wood, and this is with the update

[nocturne coral]

Ok thanks. I'll read logs later

[last magnet]

I was client crashing yesterday but I think that was bc of EOS

[last magnet]

also anyone wanting to not be deluged by kitties or want them to be admin spawn: NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Cat_Character_BP_C", ToClassName="") will stop them from spawning.

[wide forge]

So is it just me or is everybody getting huge lag spikes and rubber banding?

[main depot]

Is there a way (INI) to use the wind turbine in the water again and activate the damage?

[grand gorge]

I am trying to build a ocean base with the alfa oceanic platform mod and when i start building up I get an error the the building is to high. I'm over the deep part of the center ocean. Can I change ini files to fix this?

[nocturne coral]

wwwaaaaaa... but there is only like.... 1 meow-mix ...like a unicorn rarity

[last magnet]

Huh! I haven't been in game yet to see but someone commented in general about having a lot of them around their base

[worn belfry]

Is there a way to wipe wild dinos from server side without making it part of a server restart?

Similar to in game admin commands

[ruby merlin]

Cheat destroywilddinos

[versed lance]

I'm having an issue where AG reborn dinos cant do damage to Prometheus dinos is there any way i can override this?

[dense wind]

why wont my server launch....

[dense wind]

guys 😦

[safe sorrel]

hello guys, maybe it's not specially channel for questions, but i will do anyway so my question is anyone knows how to make a servers cluster in Ark Server Manager if anyone knows u can send me a personal message i will appreciate u so much

[dense wind]

on windows?

[safe sorrel]

yes

[dense wind]

ark server manager is a great tool

I suggest using that to manage your server.

There are cluster settings in the administration tab

if you don't want to use that tool you can make a cluster by adding the following to your commandlines: -clusterid=mycluster123

name your cluster as you wish

[dense wind]

hopefully this helps

[safe sorrel]

i did it already, but it still not work

[dense wind]

maybe try using the directory override

-ClusterDirOverride=C:/TestStorage/

[safe sorrel]

can i send u a screenshot if u a have time on me

?

[dense wind]

sure

figure my problem... ufw allow 7777 && ufw allow 27015 🤦‍♂️

I forwarded the port... but never opened it on my pc.... kill me that took 2 hours

[safe sorrel]

it's on linux

[iron bronze]

Does anyone know of any console commands that gets details about a player using their EOS ID?

[pale thunder]

anyone know of any mod for ASE that changes the ants and meganuera in a way that causes them to not get past level 1? I forgot how incredibly strong those fuckers are

[iron bronze]

You can try using beacon...it's not a mod but it does allow you to control spawning...i'm putty sure you can set max lvls of different creatures

[pale thunder]

Hmm I don't recall a basegame config for specific dino max levels

[neat field]

Hello, just wondering, is there a setting I can put in my server to make passive taming faster? I don't want to make everything else instant tame, I just want the passive tames to get a higher percentage and not as long of a wait in between feedings

[pale thunder]

For higher percentages you would have to use the global taming speed setting.

For shorter intervals/wait time, there is a passive feeding multiplier that you can use

[pale thunder]

Oooooh Okay I'll take a look at that then

[tulip timber]

Has there been any talk of when ps5 players can join friends on pc in unofficial maps crossplay on everything else but not there as me and my friends play on other servers but we want our own setup

[olive talon]

You've been able to crossplay on unofficial on Ascended since it released.

You're not going to be able to invite people from your Playstation to another platform because that's not how Ark is coded. You'll have to just give each other the server names and passwords.

[tulip timber]

So when my friend set a server up and made a passcode I searched for his name but couldn’t find him

Sorry I meant non dedicated

[olive talon]

You didn't say nondedicated, so I thought you meant normal unofficial. Nondedicated likely won't ever be crossplay.

#bobs-with-probs

[tulip timber]

Yeah I meant non dedicated haha, I don’t understand why tho 😔

Thanks for help tho

[olive talon]

It just isn't coded that way, and it's the least used way to play with others, also least recommended

[proven cove]

Is there no way to solve it? Are all servers like this?

[olive talon]

No, not all servers are like that, it's still not a server setup issue.

[solar fern]

Is there a away to by pass the wind turbine decay on unoffical. I just lost a bunch of stuff because of this new update stuff

[warped python]

well, once you know the time it takes to decay they can add a backup generator mid that time.. that way your players will always have an overlap with the least amount of effort. Or if they have bob's and access to 100 black pearls to craft the thing have the robot, sir weirdsequenceofnumbersandletters autorepair it.
it's a relatively new setting, on previous additions (wind strength) and decay/turning off due to sand/electrical storms, both got an ini variable to turn it off.
let's hope some of those devs still work at wildcard

[last magnet]

I also boosted my decay rate by 5 for structure & creature decay and . 75 for crop decay speed (makes crops spoil slower). I haven't tested the wind turbine since the update though, I'm on the island trying to finish the bosses

Wait I got confused on crop decay, it takes longer for my crops to die without water

Spoiling is at 15 for items, 3 for corpses

[rocky tinsel]

@humble thicket Your message has been deleted because it contained a Discord invite.

[crude forge]

Can i ask here for single player modded?

[fierce timber]

Sure. What's going on?

[mossy cargo]

Ok having issues with the baby care timer

No matter what I do it stays around 15 hours etc to even have one care imprint thing

What do I do to say take it down so it needs an imprint every few mins or so 10mins give or take that kinda thing ?

[restive heron]

Can someone help me.

I clustered my servers. I can upload Dinos and items but can’t download anything. I don’t understand what is wrong.

I am currently testing everything. I uploaded a Dino on server 1 and just made and attempt to immediately redownload it into the same server. I can’t download load it back though.

[buoyant salmon]

Is there a list of what mods are causing issues for boost’s servers right now?

[restive heron]

Why can nothing in this stupid game ever work

[left latch]

there is a setting in the GameUserSettings which turns off downloads entirely. maybe you set it?

[left latch]

Game.ini (might have to create it). dont know the exact wording of the setting. something like BabyCareIntervalMultiplier. set it lower to reduce it. but you might want to increase the ImprintMultiplier at the same time or hitting 100% will be tough to impossible

[mossy cargo]

Thanks I’ll give it a try

[mossy cargo]

Unfortunately didn’t lower it at all

Stayed same

[left latch]

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.05
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=20
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=10
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.05
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=5

these are my settings. and it works for me. within the Game.ini

[mossy cargo]

I’ll copy that in shortky see if it works

[frigid vine]

Hello 🙂 We used DynamicColorset in Dynamic Config. After resetting the INI to Default, means without DynamicColorset, the colors still there after dinoWipe and Server restart.

Has somebody noticed the same? Did i missed something?

[queen tusk]

How can i increase dino spawn rate in singleplayer in ase?

[full stratus]

In Ark PC Survival Evolved, I cannot enter servers that have mods. A window opens for me that says:

Joining failed

Connection Timeout

[hardy marten]

@restive heron for a cluster you do not need to upload anything. just transfer maps at an obelisk and everything in your inventory comes with you

[olive talon]

Can go to #general for your venting. This channel is only for setup help @storm wagon

[worldly bear]

Hey any apps to make settings management easier on Linux for evolved ?

[worldly bear]

Also does someone know how often the server saves ??

[swift perch]

every 15 minutes

[dense wind]

I want to host 2 servers.
The Island.

Then a second server to rotate though each map every 7 hours

I'm on Linux, how could I achieve this? (I already can run the servers, just trying to figure out how to automate the switching)

[wise kindle]

That would be... interesting lol.

I just tamed my first dino guys! crashes out Maps gone. On to the next cluster.

[normal hazel]

any of you having battle eye issue on ark survival evolved xD since asa is still bugging for me now i can't play ark evolved i keep getting battle eye client not responding am i banned or what if so why i did do nothing wrong ?

[last magnet]

Anyone else having their server stay on ticking loop? I did the update that dropped on the 1st, and before that it would be ready in 3 minutes even with a lot of mods on older windows hardware.

[fluid ice]

Hi idk if its even a correct channel to ask but anyone know a mod that shows Colors and Stats for Player and Dino's in inventory just like nucleus mod? Im asking because i really would want this but when i played with nucleus mod i noticed small fps drops and when i turned it off it was fine i know strange

[dusty jay]

anyone have some advice to making the characters being lost less of a thing. People on my cluster cant go 24 hours without losing one

i got ways to restore but i just want it to stop. This is crazy that in 2025 this is still a problem

[barren ridge]

It would probably be better to rotate the maps ever 24 hours instead

[dense wind]

No, I like the slight offset. 🙃

When I was on windows I would use ASM.

It would send message banners that it was about to shut down the server?

How can I do that?

[dense wind]

I have an ark game server I want to restart every 420 minutes. (7 hours hehe). That's the easy part.

I have an ExecuteStart with custom params that tell the server which map to load. example params: MapName?liesten?SessionName="Test"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015

I have 12 maps I want to rotate through.

How should I loop through these to change MapName?

I have no idea how to create system services xD (arch linux)

[dusty jay]

im confused. so add -usestore to my server start config?

im a worried about doing this. Any chance you could give me a step by step guide on this? I feel like if i fuck up all my cluster is gonna go apeshit

we just restarted like 1.5 weeks ago

its a tad confusing when i read it

doesnt say where to put these commands

So Step one:
launch server with -converttostore -usestore
Step 2: remove -converttostore on next reboot

is that the jist of it

based on that it should fix all our character issues

and people shouldnt lose anything moving forward?

It seems to happen on logout and server transfers

thank you

going to do it now

[dusty jay]

is there any indicator that it converted?

just followed the steps and everyone on reboot looks the same

oh i see it working its magic nvm

so next reboot just remove the convert line eh

you rock

if this fixes my issues ill be so pumped

[round harness]

hey, could i get some help please? i host a dedicated server on my own PC, and i have a server for every map including astraeos. i last played the 1st of march, and i havent had a server open since then. they used to work just fine, but now they get stuck on "booting..." and dont fully open. im not sure what could have changed... should i just leave it when i go to work and see if its just loading the, like, 70 mods i have loaded? or have the server map names changed, like, is it not Astraeos_WP anymore? im just unsure. please help!

[dense wind]

if I specifiy a server password in the config file, and pass one as a command line argument, which one gets used?

[dense wind]

what about gamesettings.ini vs game.ini?

I see repeated settings in each. Which ones are used?

(wtf kind of config system is this xDDDD)

[dense wind]

why does ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer get wiped and reloaded on server restart?

[fierce timber]

Have you tried loading a previous server save/world backup? On Nitrado their servers can get stuck in an infinite restarting loop sometimes (just helped somebody else deal with it after recent major update), and almost always in those scenarios I can fix it by going back and reloading from the most recent world backup that isn't the current (and then working backwards to find a world backup that functions) until it boots correctly.

[dense wind]

so.. all I've changed in the generated config was max player from 70 to 69.

start my server and it wipes the config again...

[dense wind]

I think I just need to move some of my command line options into the gamerusersettings file..

I think the command line options are causing the regeneration of the file. (Even the default one gets reset on restart).

[dense wind]

okay that did not help....

even the defualt .ini is resetting..

[mossy cargo]

Anyone able to set the stats per player /dino multiplier ?

As tries to configure it in server but won’t seem to change at all

Tried restarting etc nothing

Tried setting wieght so it gets 100 per stat in it etc

[dense wind]

fuck ty

that solved everything. golly

I thought it solved everything... jesus... it just took a minute to reset again....

from what I can tell, I can't edit gameusersettings.ini directly. I have to use command arguments to alter/generate them.

so be it...

game.ini gets reset too.

I can't pass those options through command line......

I'm gonna smash my head into a wall..

[round harness]

Awesome, I’ll try this when I get home. Thanks a million :)

[fierce timber]

Hopefully that works for you when you try it out.

[dense wind]

I can't figure it out. I see GitHub issues, reddit posts, and steam posts, but nothing works for me.

My .ini's keep getting reset on sever start.

Even freshly generated default ini's overwrite themselves.

Idk what to do.

[fierce timber]

Is server self-hosted or Nitrado?

[dense wind]

Self hosted

[fierce timber]

Must be some option/error in the 3rd party program or something then

Or perhaps even an actual option, potentially for... testing? Idk

[dense wind]

It's self hosted...

There's no third party.

[fierce timber]

Only time I've had .ini issues is when server/etc wasn't properly turned off, so .ini values weren't saved/applied.

[dense wind]

Hmm

[fierce timber]

You wrote the program yourself to host the server?

[dense wind]

I use steamcmd to get the files

Then I run it on my computer

[fierce timber]

How do you edit the gus.ini and game.ini? Can you not see them normally? I just now saw your previous comment.

Prior to the one I originally replied to

[dense wind]

I go to ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/

Open the .ini in my text editor and save it.

[fierce timber]

Why LinuxServer

[dense wind]

Cuz I'm on linux

[fierce timber]

Ok

Have you tried going into Windows server and editing the ones in there

Just to see if it saves what is edited in there

[dense wind]

But the file get overwritten/reloaded every time I start the server.

Even leaving it at the default settings, you can see it gets reloaded by looking at the files last modified time.

[dense wind]

The path is correct, I don't need to use WindowsServer

Ty for tryin though

[foggy plinth]

Used the right header?

[dense wind]

Yeah...

Even using the default file, it replaced itself on server launch

Everything In Saved/Config gets reset, even if it's default files generated by the server itself, they reset every time.

Passing command line arguments like ?MaxPlayers=69 works, and generates a GameUserSettings.ini with the correct line.

But Game.ini is also being reset, and I can't pass options through command line for this file.

[flat forum]

hello, I'm running an ark server but i need assistant for the setting and made configuration and install some mods if anyone can help let me know, imma gonna pay for ur time.

[tall oyster]

Go on yt m8 find kiahonark she has a set up vid that might help u if not there are a few others on there

[flat forum]

ive bought it from ulta host theres no video on yt for it

[arctic sage]

just to check, you have the server off when you make changes, the server writes it's config when it is shut down, so it overwrites changes you make when it is on

[worldly bear]

hey if I let a dedicated server run without anyone online, will the dinos starve, days pass and so on or is it paused for as long as no one get on ?

[arctic sage]

if it runs, time passes with all it's implications

[kind jacinth]

hello I'm new and I don't know which button to change the wall. I have basic settings

[mossy cargo]

Ok so nothing I do is working for stat increases both dinos and player

Ideally want weight to be heavily increased

Tried 25 per stat , tried even putting it up to 1000

No matter what won’t change can someone tell me what’s going wrong

When I had a ase pve server this worked

Even looked online apparently a lot are having same problem

[0]-[10] are the individual stats from health to speed (I also have speed leveling turned on)

I use beacon to do that bc I will forget which number corresponds to which stat if I try to do it manually

[gentle lion]

Good afternoon, I have a problem where I can't add my friends on Ark, it appears that my tribe is full even though I'm alone.

[last magnet]

there's an ini setting for tribe pop. set it to zero for unlimited. MaxNumberofPlayersInTribe=0 put this in your game.ini file

0 is unlimited, and you can pick a number if you want smaller tribes.

[remote zephyr]

Not sure who to @mention, but 8 out of 9 servers all started and ran the first time after this update. that is a huge improvement

[restive heron]

What about transferring dinos?

[last magnet]

I'd cryo them

when I moved maps on the cluster I played on with others, we'd put the dinos in cryos in our personal inventory and transfer that way

I always had a land mount and flyer in my pocket if I was going back and forth to get stuff

I heard way too many stories of dinos getting messed up on transfer if they were out

[hardy marten]

Use any cryopod/cryo-mod. anything in your inventory minus trophy items can transfer between maps

[dense wind]

Yeah...

I just started from scratch..

Installed via steamcmd.

Started the server.

Stopped it.

Made a single change in the .in max players from 70 to 69.

Saved.

(Closed my editor)

Started the server.

Waited, and tested connecting from a client and the browser lists 70 max players...

It is resetting itself.

Is using Ctrl+c the wrong way to exit the server?

[celest halo]

ctrl c in terminal is interruption signal (SIGINT) and the common way to shutdown a cmd/terminal/bat program

[pure haven]

yes. you crash the server if you do that. you need to close down server with doexit command

[dense wind]

Some programs don't respond appropriately to CRT+c interrupts.

Like a java Minecraft server you can use /stop to exit. (Ctrl+c works too, for Minecraft)

But I just wanted to make sure it's alright for a ark dedicated server too (on Linux)

doexit

Lolz alright 🫡

[dense wind]

Ty I'll see if that stops the configs from being overwritten

[pure haven]

cheat doexit in terminal or your rcon

[sage valve]

Hey guys. I’m trying to figure out how to increase the amount of rafts/motorboats per tribe on my Nitrado server. But I can’t figure out how, or if it’s even possible to change. Anyone know. ASE if it matters.

[dense wind]

I self host so I can just type it directly into the console

[wise kindle]

They count as platform or structures in tribe/global limits, you would need to increase those configs.

[sage valve]

Oh ok cool thank you

[dense wind]

Typing doexit in the terminal did nothing. Server is still running.

[celest halo]

because you on linux and prob running it in background so you cant get to the unreal console where you would have to type that

[dense wind]

It's not running in the background as a service

I wish I could attach pictures

[celest halo]

even running it forground i dont think you can see the unreal console on linux lol

[dense wind]

I ran the binary directly.

This has been such a headache..

Consoles within consoles

[austere jolt]

Whats the setting or config that i need to enable to allow unclaimed dinos to be killed on my pve server?

[celest halo]

the binary is what opens the unreal console on windows, linux i dont think it does that

i just use rcon to stop mine lol

[austere jolt]

That is on but still cant kill unclaimed babies with my dinos

Nvm it turned off somehow lol

Wait no its not lol

[dense wind]

I've never used rcon.. no idea where to start with that.

This is the log I get:

Shutdown handler: initalize.

doexit

[pure haven]

you need to type cheat doexit

not just doexit

no

do that to all my servers in cluster

means you using some sort of manager or plugin for your rcon

[wise kindle]

I need you to tell my servers this via Battlemetrics, cuz I need to type cheat as well

Or it ignores me

[pure haven]

dude i can literally record you a video and show you that without cheat it wont work lol

[dense wind]

I don't want to go back to windows.

I could use ark-server-tools, but I just wanted to get a simple server going first... I know how to start and stop the servers. (unless crtl+c is the wrong way).

I want to know why my configs are being reset before I even add in ark-server-tools

[wise kindle]

Ok might want to let peeps know that then. Battlemetrics is pretty popular these days.

[pure haven]

i dont even use rcon i just use a server terminal lol

[wise kindle]

no making blanket statements when you dont know what rcon they are using lol

[dense wind]

cheat doexit did nothing

[pure haven]

doesnt work on terminals without cheat, 100%. unless linux is any different cause i just use win 11

[wise kindle]

Thats all Im saying, might want to not correct everyone without taking this into consideration

Dear god, just nvm.

Carry on.

Love you

[pure haven]

just did typed doexit to one of my terminals and guess what, did nothing. or need a video proof? 😂

[dense wind]

xD

[wise kindle]

In every scenario, yes please

[dense wind]

how do I use rcon?

I need to stop my server still 😆

[pure haven]

arent you the same person who was claiming that ?port= in command line works for you when it doesnt for most of the people? what kind of os you even using lol

[dense wind]

?port in command line definitely works

[celest halo]

```  quick easy way to run rcon command with python lol

you do need to do pip install gamercon_async its not build in

[dense wind]

Now do it on rust

[celest halo]

dont know rust

my discord bot is written in python and i use gamercon_async with the bot to do a few differnt rcon commands to my servers in my cluster

[dense wind]

If I can connect in game I don't need rcon right

Just admin cheat then does it in-game console?

[celest halo]

yeah can do it that way also

[dense wind]

Cool

I mean, not really, but cool. This is a bunchaa hoopla. But cool

We'll see if my config gets preserved.

Literally single line change to max 69 players

🤞

[pure haven]

if you just need to change your player count you can do it in command line with -winlivemaxplayers=

then use ?MaxPlayers= if its ASE

[sage valve]

I can’t seem to find the setting. All I can find is the setting to increase structures placed on the rafts. But not the total rafts per tribe. I would like to increase it from the base 2 to 4 rafts per tribe.

[wise kindle]

how are you searching?

[sage valve]

General settings on Nitrado

Sorry I’m new to the server renting stuff

[wise kindle]

This is something you will need to add to your ini settings via "Config Files"

Find the appropriate setting on https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration then check which file to add it to, then add it in Config Files.

Use Ctrl+F to keyword search for the settings you need

[sage valve]

Alright. I’ll check it out

[dense wind]

No I need to change a lot more than that.

That's just an example to know things aren't being reset every time the server starts.

Game.ini gets reset as well, I can't just pass those options through the command line.

There is a deep issue I can not figure out that keeps resetting my config files on server start.

Even the auto generated files replace themselves

I just tried to gracefully shutdown the server but I can't enable cheats without setting an admin password..

So I gotta shut it down the dirty way..

Starting now with an admin password.

I'll get in game and try doexit.

Then I will edit my config. (Change 70 to 69).

Then I will start the server and see if it overrites it.

[pure haven]

just remember that if you have a line in command line that set player numbers to 70 it will take priority over any ini configs

[dense wind]

Yeah, I get that

Okay, server shutdown from ingame via doexit

Server down.

Config file updated to 69 and saved.

Restarting 🤞

Nope, still reset on server start

kms

I've never experienced such struggles

Does Ark take bug fixes still? This game still gets updates right? Should I submit one at this point?

[pure haven]

if its ASE i dont think anything gonna change

[dense wind]

Fugg

Guess they'll have to run in a windows VM...

[untold turtle]

I know I'm a little late to this party but did anyone else have an issue with their astreos server getting stuck in a booting loop? If so how did you get it to work finally?

[mossy cargo]

How do o fix this bloody time out nonsense

Not had this issue at all untill earlier (ironically around time they posted bout a bug fix or something)

[last magnet]

check if ActiveMod= is in your ini and delete it if so

[dawn mica]

Could use some help. My cryo sickness timer shows up 300 then disappears instantly. When I throw cryos back to back it says there cryosick but there not they dont come out knocked out.

I seen a few people having that issue, not sure whats causing it, went thru each setting in gus, nothing is out of place.

[restive heron]

One of my players accidentally deleted his character. What command gives his exp back along with bosses he defeated because the commands I’m using are not working

[last magnet]

GiveExpToPlayer for the player, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#DefeatBoss for the bosses

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Leveling#Character_Levels < this will have the amount of exp you'll need to add for their levels

[torn quarry]

Hi, I have a small problem. We (accidentally) shot the red rifle in the Astraeos tower on our unofficial server, how can we fix this?

[hallow pumice]

I haven't been able to give bosses on ASA dedicated, I know it works ASE

[opaque patrol]

I have hosted two servers on Nitrado, set up crosstravel, and configured everything. However, when I join one server from the other and try to take my items from the Beacon, 'Refresh Tribute Inventory' keeps flickering continuously. I can neither take items from the Beacon nor travel back to the other server.

What could be causing this?

[stray solstice]

Server restart or you have to spawn in the terminal with commands

[mossy cargo]

So I need to replace my long neck dinos in my server with something else

How do I got bout this as this part is new to me

[mystic arrow]

I've been dealing with the same issue for the last 8 days

[mossy cargo]

So most of mine is long neck dinos

It was a problem in ase we got rid of /replaced and it semi sorted it

But yeah it is a problem

[nimble apex]

Anyone having trouble finding servers on the list? I'm from STEAM and I can't find anything...

[dense badger]

whats admin command to unlock all boss levels and notes ?

[hallow pumice]

if you in ASA don't think we have that functionality yet, least last time I tried

[sly spade]

I was looking into using my 2nd pc as an ark server. Would I need to rebuy premium mods again to use it on that hosting pc?

[hallow pumice]

good question, cause afaik, most people use anonymous login to download ark server stuff from steam. So, thinking premium is client side "check" not server side right?

[sly spade]

I think. I thought I could just use the same steam account on both PCs. But wasn't sure since I never done it before

[last magnet]

I do an anonsteam server for mine, and I have premium mods + cosmetics. I just added the mods to the server and it checks on my client side

[hallow pumice]

no, dedicated servers don't have to have an account associated with it.. if it's your first time I recommend something like Haruhost it will get you up and running pretty quick.. usually the only thing is opening the ports on your router like 7777/22024 and firewall on pc. Which usually when there server starts up windows will say hey you want to allow this through the firewall

Haruhost is a server manager you install on your pc, and @last magnet Ainsley, that is what I was thinking, just never loaded used a premium mod yet.. but figured it was client side. I know the people on my server would have a cow if they had to pay for a premium unnanounced 🙂

i suppose people who don't have it, will be stuck with freemium version

[last magnet]

for sure! I run my server for myself so it's not a problem, and I'm super glad they do have freemium options now

[sly spade]

Thank you all for the help! I'll give it a shot and see how it goes 😄

[dense badger]

😢

[hallow pumice]

ya thinking like bobs tales or the dreadmare, the people without can see stuff, just can't do as much with them.

[hallow pumice]

good luck, the first time is wierd, but you will be clustering soon enough 🙂

[sly spade]

Thats the goal! Its for me and a few friends and we'd like a small cluster xD

[hallow pumice]

then plan for the future like come up with a range for the ports that you have forward in your router.. like if you are planning on running 3 servers, do something like 7770-7775 and 22040-22045 udp/tcp the first set of numbers is what the clients will connect to, and the second set is for RCON control.

clustering gets a little more complex, but done from the commandline to launch the server, each server will have basically same launch command..

ArkAscendedServer.exe Extinction_WP?RCONEnabled=True?Port=7763?RCONPort=27043?ServerAdminPassword=NotSayingWhatThisIsInDiscord -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 -clusterID=abc123 -ClusterDirOverride=C:\ArkCluster\ -mods=940975,950914,978309,929420,928548,935408

i personally like to know exactly where the ClusterDirOveride is, so I can share it with other pc's on my network, cause I only run a couple of servers per pc.

the clusterID is the directory where the players will go to while the old server removes them and the new server picks them up from. But I call it a directory, only cause the server makes that directory under the DirOverride statement

[wide sail]

what are the best shader options for you with commands starting with .r for more fps ?

[last magnet]

I find r.VolumetricFog 0 work great for me, I get 60fps on medium settings with a 3070 Ti gpu

[austere rune]

Does anyone have a problem where on some maps you can't place down building pieces from mods? 2 of my 4 maps in my cluster started having this issue recently and I have no idea what it could be.

[hallow pumice]

if the mod is installed on each server, trying to force reload of mods may help

cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart

[austere rune]

It's not one mod, it's most building pieces from most mods

Though I can try that anyway

[hallow pumice]

good luck I hope it works

[amber badge]

Is there a place I can ask for help on ark dev kit?

[olive talon]

Grab the modding role in id:customize , and then you can use #modding-general/ #1167978209246195733 , or join the Ark Modding Discord which is pinned in #modding-general

[amber badge]

Thank you, I had the role selected, it just wasn’t added to my channel selection.

[olive talon]

Discords channels and roles feature is a bit goofy sometimes, yw though

[trim yew]

Can't seem to get the cats on my server... What am I missing? What part of the spawn system they linked too as I do have a couple types disabled like the pegomastex and the itchy bird... Basically the stealing types are removed from my server

[hallow pumice]

did you do a destroywilddinos?

[trim yew]

Yes, multiple times

Map is the island

[hallow pumice]

ya not sure if the bird would be part of it, as I have seen them inland quite a ways, maybe shares with pego/compy?

[trim yew]

I guess I could test it out to let people know if they run into the same issue I have lol

[hallow pumice]

ya would be useful info if you figure it out

[trim yew]

Wife got different info... Stating they spawn in very specific areas

[last magnet]

I found one in the smuggler's pass area

the cat I mean

Attempt 2 👀 lookihg at discord bot

Ok so message chat in game no matter what we put words wise just appears as stars and doesn’t show the words we type ,any idea how to fix this or what’s causing issue

[static shadow]

Can I host a dedicated session on my laptop for my ps5 to play on ase?

[unique magnet]

unfortunately, I don't think there's anything that can be done as it's (sadly) strict console censoring that I believe Microsoft seems to have set up. have to avoid saying words like " lol " as it censors completely for xbox users

[mossy cargo]

It wasn’t even bad words it was normal words

I wrote to my tribe mate
Hi are we hunting bosses or heading to carno island again ?

And that got starred ??

Nearly anything gets starred

[humble thicket]

anybody can help me find the launch argument for love ascended colors?

[hallow pumice]

ASE or ASA?

[humble thicket]

ASA

[hallow pumice]

You install the mod now, you will see a WildCard Studio love ascended mod on curse

[humble thicket]

i already have the mod and mod ID, i just cannot find what the color set options is called. now we are runing the pridecolors

[hallow pumice]

oh then you are outside my knowledge, i just run with default mod settings 🙂

[humble thicket]

and you have the pink colors? like the love ascended dino colors?

[hallow pumice]

ya I do, but had to do a cheat DestroyWildDinos to get them to spawn

[humble thicket]

oki that helps, thanks

Can someone help me out in ark

Is there a way to have all engrams be unlocked as you level up? A setting I might’ve overlooked or something?

Got a server with some newbie friends and don’t want em to have too hard of a time.

[lone fern]

Alright, so I’ve looked into it. I’ve added the line of code bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true but it hasn’t worked?

what do primal fear mod do in ase? worth add it?

[analog grove]

I was trying to ally someone and have orphaned all my structures and dinos. No one is in the tribe now and I have no way of getting back in. I have submitted tickets but it doesn't look like they are responding to them anymore. Does anyone have any help? I don't want to lose 3000 hours

[hallow pumice]

so it sounds like you joined their tribe? I don't think you can do without an admin to force you to join your original tribe

[wide musk]

A friend of mine is running an ASA server and wants to enable an event. Is there a way to do this on Nitrado? They tried to run the event colors for the Easter event, but no event colors appeared, even after a dino wipe. Any help with this would be great!

What is a good level to have stats per level increased by for humans and dinosaurs when I’ve got the difficulty set so wild dinos can be 150 max wild

Like I want human stats increased per level by like 10 extra but what is good for dinos so they aren’t super OP? It’s a pretty vanilla server just tinkered with some stuff. And want the dinos to not be too crazy.

Like going off what Nitrado says on the website with this code:
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[0]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[1]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[2]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[3]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[4]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[5]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[0]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[1]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[2]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[3]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[4]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[5]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[0]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[1]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[2]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[3]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[4]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[5]=1
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[7]=1

What is a good level for these to be increased by so dinos are getting some decent stat increases but not OP

Hi, I'm trying to add deinonychus to my the island map server and cant get it to spawn. I've gotten rock drakes, griffins and shadowmane's to work fine, but not deinonychus.

ASE

[round matrix]

@charred lotus Ask here for server help

[west spoke]

how do i setup mods for my server... im using steam cmd to host it but where do i add the mod ids and such and where do i even get them if this is the way

[late pendant]

Anyone able to help with astraeos mod to map set up? We had the map mod on our server we got the dlc and want to remove the mod to give more storage space.

[hallow pumice]

you will need a mod to spawn deinonychus, they not out till valegro

[inner dirge]

as mentioned it is ase, they are already out on that one

[olive talon]

Use simple spawners if you're using mods, that way you can use it to spawn the nests so they'll be tameable. If not, there's not much point to adding them to the island unless you just want them killable or forcetamed

[lean anchor]

any one know how to increase the cats to spawn on the island

[arctic sage]

i wouldn't do that, it makes the game really boring really fast if your stuff is too OP

[arctic sage]

don't ruin the new player experience for them, inform them of what to avoid doing, don't make the game easier, it already is easy enough

buf for server settings, this is probably a good place to start https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[main depot]

I'd like to add a Rhyniognata to the Center swamp (min: 1, max: 2).

For this, I'm using the entry in the next paragraph in the game.ini file. Here, it's for the Maeguana. Of course, I'm changing it to the zone and the correct BP. The problem here is that 16 Maeguanas spawn in the zone. How should I change this for Rhyniognata so that only 1-2 can be there? EntryWeight and MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow are the adjustment dials for this. But I don't know how to handle them correctly. As I said, 16 Maeguanas are already too many 😉 8-10 would be ideal G. But 0 isn't an option either. Permanent min. 1, max. 2 (Rhynio).

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SnowGrasslandsUnderArea_Spawn_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="SnowGras_Under_Maeguana",EntryWeight=0.08,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dino s/Maelizard/Maelizard_Character_BP.Maelizard_Character_BP_C'"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Maelizard/Maelizard_Character_BP.Maelizard_Character_BP_C'",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.03)))

Add this config and then add a spawn blocker mod that limits spawns perhaps

[mossy cargo]

Anyone know how to increase or decrease the day /night cycle (with nitardo )

[warped bane]

do you guys know a reliable server rental site?

[mossy cargo]

I dunno bout reliable think it’s depending on location etc

Nitrado isn’t great but …many use it

Gportal I’ve used for years they pretty good but don’t offer cross platform ark anymore

I’m not sure bout others as not used them

[tender hatch]

Can someone explain me how to work around on followed Issue:

Dino babys will not progress in maturating / grow after a daily Serverrestart till the region get rendered by a player
They go into stasis. Also mating cooldown getting stuck after

[warped bane]

If I rent from this site, can I switch between maps? I don't need to buy another server, right?

[hallow pumice]

a lot depends on how much memory and cpu you rent. roughly 10g memory per server, 2 cores.. so easy to make a huge bill. As far as them allowing you to do it in the first place.. not sure.

but you can look at the "cluster" options and see what they offer for configuration

[mossy cargo]

Ok so

One map is start of the server

You need at least two maps to be able to transfer to and between

So one map is just one map , can’t transfer if there’s no other map to transfer to

Is solo farm mod not working for ASA steam servers? Custom levels and solo farm mods doens't seem to be loading on server start bat file

[olive talon]

@fallow portal #bobs-with-probs

[last magnet]

custom levels mod isn't working, the dev stopped supporting it. I can't speak for solo farm, tho

[bleak ivy]

custom dino levels isn't working? if thats true, you can use vanilla with Sprinkles but it does other things that'd need to be disabled

[last magnet]

yeah that was what I was told, I stopped using it since it hadn't been updated in a while

[hazy rune]

Does anybody know where can i host a co op server with crypto without having to pay for 30 slots? 10 or close is fair

[eager patrol]

Anyone having issues with tribes? Suddenly all of the tribes on my servers are bugged

[bleak ivy]

custom dino levels doesn't really need updates. the ASE version is years off and still works.
it was working afaik when astraeos released but maybe I just didn't notice.

[round harness]

hey guys, i host a dedicated server on my personal machine, and its been working fine, but i havent opened a server since the 1st of march. i have been trying to open them again since the beginning of this month, but they get stuck on an infinite ticking loop. id really really appreciate help on getting this fixed. ive tried to use older saves in case the current one was corrupted, and that didnt work. i also know that sometimes this can be caused by a bad map name, and im still just using Astraeos_WP. did the map names update? does it think im trying to use the mod map astraeos, even though i own the dlc and ive played on this server before? i just need some help please

[celest halo]

if it stuck at line with Number of cores remove ActiveMapMod=0 from GUS

[round harness]

dude. my savior! thank you!!

[last magnet]

ahh gotcha. I didn't notice much effect personally, and needed to cut down on the mod list

[fierce timber]

Custom Dino Levels still works for me, but basically the only thing I use from it is the equalized level range

[bleak ivy]

I use the high levels. I is lazy probably gonna replace it with vanilla with sprinkles tho, since that does other stuff too.

[gilded river]

Anyone else started getting 1100 ping today?

[marble isle]

Must be a skill issue

[last magnet]

I'm testing vanilla with sprinkles on mine, little annoyed by all the low levels floating around

[rustic patrol]

quick question, since the cats and deinotheriums have released they refuse to spawn on the server

no matter how many dino wipes happen. I can spawn them in but that is not a solution for our cluster. Anyone else having this issue?

this is for an unofficial cluster

[sinful solar]

Currently on one of our maps in the cluster - the rest are stuttering and rubber bandy - or just flat out crash.

[last magnet]

using nitrado or a different host?

I've had decent ping and performance but I self host off a PC in my house

[still tundra]

Hello, are there any mods that's similar to The Island Extension CIE? Where it includes all DLC creatures, resources and bosses?

Kinda like Ragnarok Plus but it's discontinued

[wispy pecan]

anyone else having issues with the wild king titan not spawning?

[molten palm]

Please, can someone help me or offer advice? Two of our self-hosted servers won't load anymore. Whenever it tries to load the Dear Jane file, it crashes with a "Fatal Error" message. What could be causing this? Mods have been checked and are all fine. The other maps (mod and base game) are all running fine. What could be causing this? Or what can I do?

[last magnet]

it's safe to remove the dear jane mod, it's in game now.

[raw glade]

@sharp otter

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

[molten palm]

We don't use Dear Jane client side. It's the server what crash when it's loading it. It's not possible to remove it from the base game.

[olive talon]

Dear Jane is a server side mod, not client, you'd need to remove it

[molten palm]

We don't use the Dear Jane. My problem is server side and we never used it. When the server is restarted it loads the map and at the point when it loads the files from base game it crashes.

[olive talon]

I must have misread this, sorry, where you said the mod was fine.

[molten palm]

No problem, we checked everything what could cause this, bc all other maps of us are fine only two don't want to get up.

[last magnet]

the activemods= line isn't in the two misbehaving servers? bc the only other idea I have is save the saved folder and reinstall the server from fresh.

[molten palm]

That is checked too and no it's not what causing the problem. It's the same like on the other servers. Yes that's what we try now a fresh install and hope it fixes it. Thank you

[last magnet]

hope it helps!

[molten palm]

Me too lol

When will the game receive FSR4 support?

[spare oyster]

is it against the rules of the game to edit the engine.ini files to make the game look better?

[proud valve]

No everyone dose it just do on pc / just google ini… i can send you a couple if you wnat

[spare oyster]

nono ive done it a couple of times already and ive pushed it quite a bit higher since my rig can take it just fine, i just wondered if it was "allowed"

[last magnet]

doubtful

at least on unofficial, I know no one cares if you adjust for performance and quality

I'm using DLSS 4 through DLSS Swapper, check if there is something similar to this to FSR 4

[plush warren]

Wondering if someone can give me some ideas to try please.

Cant connect to the island or forglar premium on just one unnoficial server.
Can connect to the map fine on other servers.
When i change from my wired internet connection to phone thethered internet I can join both maps on that one server.
Have tried re-installing game, uninstalling and re-installing all mods, resetting network adapters, DNS reset, reseting modem etc.

On Pc Steam

Hoping someone smarter than me can help?

[sinful solar]

Can very well have something to do with the server problem they are having right now. It's been a day and a half now and they're still working on it. Check out the status-updates channel.

[pallid kestrel]

If a mod was accidentally removed, is there a way to add it and rollback? Or will this not help

[still tundra]

Are there any mods that adds all DLC contentes (resources, creatures and bosses) into a map? Besides The Island Extension CIE

[arctic sage]

are you blacklisted on ip on that server?

[plush warren]

nope, can play the other maps in the server. it works if i turn on a vpn though? 😒

[arctic sage]

should work, if you can roll back to before the mod was removed, but you will loos progress ofcourse, also MAKE BACKUPS before you do it

[arctic sage]

well vpn means your ip gets changed, you just change the map, and then can't join anymore?

[plush warren]

i can join every other map in the cluster but the island and forglar. I turn on a vpn and then can connect to all of them.

[arctic sage]

a cluster, is not a single server

[plush warren]

if thats what you mean?

oh yeah its an unoffical cluster, i'm not the host

[arctic sage]

i would contact the host, and have them check if you maybe got ip banned on that single map

[plush warren]

is it possible to even do that? haha

i have contacted them, they couldnt figure it out either

[arctic sage]

are they hosting on nitrado?

[plush warren]

yep

[arctic sage]

have them look in tools / player control / banlist

[plush warren]

ok, will do. fingers crossed. thanks for answering

but wait, i'm still the same character on the map. what would banlist do?

does it ban by ip?

[hexed talon]

Hi ,

how is the unoffical going to work after the update with the mods?

[uncut prawn]

Hey, i have a second pc and i host the server there and is the gethostname error normal or is it just me and i cant see the server on the unoficial list and the steam cant find the server either

[hallow pumice]

did you expose your pc ports in your router/firewall.. like port 7777 and 27042 or whatever you picked?

[uncut prawn]

where can i find that if you could help me

[hallow pumice]

your server startup script should have it, just make sure to mask out your admin password, none of us need to know that.

[patent schooner]

Black screen on island cant conect.

[uncut prawn]

alr i will send it in a min

[hallow pumice]

and before we go all router config crazy, we can test it "in house" but still need to know the port 🙂

[uncut prawn]

Should i send it here or in dm?

[hallow pumice]

you can do it here, that way if someone else has ideas they can be part of the discussion.. just don't send passwords

[uncut prawn]

start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?listen?SessionName=----?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=10
exit

i think i downloaded it from some tutorial on yt

the password and the rest is in another file

[hallow pumice]

you good, so the 7777 is the important part.. and assuming SessionName is not ---- but like SzomszedServer... if the server is running and ---- is something valid.. on your client

at the main menu or server select screen.
hit the console key `
then type open 192.168.1.50:7777 swap the ip for the ip of your server

that will make sure you server is running and you can connect to it.

[uncut prawn]

the name is normal i just put that there

ipv4 or my normal ip

[hallow pumice]

ipv4 of the server will be easier, i'm not sure if open command even supports ipv6

i'm also asumming you doing a ASE server, cause all my ASA servers are like TheIsland_WP note the _WP

[uncut prawn]

Yes ASE and where do i put the ipv4 ip in i cant open the console in the menu

[hallow pumice]

lets try it another way

cause i don't even have ASE installed, but you can do it from steam

[uncut prawn]

the ip:27015

[hallow pumice]

no the other number the 7777

27015 would be the RCON port normally

[uncut prawn]

alr i will try it when the server starts untill now i was using it with the 27015 maybe thats why i couldnt find it

[hallow pumice]

ok for steam though under View you should see Game Servers

there you might be able to pick it

[uncut prawn]

these are the last things it says should it say anything else or is it started?
[2025.04.09-15.58.23:591][ 1]Server attempting to run new years event
[2025.04.09-15.58.23:592][ 1]Sever Is not set to official or running NewYearEvent argument

[hallow pumice]

i think they always say that, but running on personal braincells

[uncut prawn]

on the steam i still cant find it

[hallow pumice]

and on the ase server select, do you see something for being able to type in the host?

like I think the ` key should work on the server list

or try the tab key

what you want is that little block box at bottom that allows you to type things

[uncut prawn]

wont show up and the steam cant find any server from the adress

cant enter console in the menu

[hallow pumice]

right the showing up in steam may require some router work, I want to make sure you can even get to the server locally

[uncut prawn]

should i try to host it in the game at the run dedicated option

[hallow pumice]

i dunno about that, but it will get you into console mode.. like if you want to cheat something in

cause all we want to do at this point is the open ipaddress:port

[uncut prawn]

will it work if i enter the console at a singlepalyer world?

[hallow pumice]

think so

[uncut prawn]

going to try so i need to enter ip:7777?

[hallow pumice]

well replace the ip with the ipaddress of your server

[uncut prawn]

it wont work

[hallow pumice]

ok i guess we banging our head on this cause I don't remember ASE that well.. so your router, what you need to do is make sure you are forwarding 7777 and 27015 to the ipaddress of your server

also what is the name of your server?

[uncut prawn]

MafiotiDeLaSzomszed

and how do i foward it to my router havent tried that yet

[hallow pumice]

that varies a lot by type of router, what type do you have?

[uncut prawn]

zte if thats the type

[hallow pumice]

in the router configuration page, do you see Internet > Security > Port Forwading ?

or Application, Port Forwarding, Advanced?

[uncut prawn]

i cant get to the router configuration page thats the problem

[hallow pumice]

hmm.. a login issue or don't know how to.. like often it's like 192.168.1.1:8000 or something like that

[uncut prawn]

i cant find the user or the password

[hallow pumice]

ok let me install ASE, I'm pretty sure you can get to console without picking a server. will take a bit

i want to get you playing for now 🙂

[hexed talon]

Thank you,

Should I remove all my AA and CS or will it still work just with new bugs?

[uncut prawn]

i will play it for a long time dont worry

[hallow pumice]

ok in the game bottom right, where it says session filter, change it to LAN, and hit refresh

[uncut prawn]

in the game or steam

nvm got it

[hallow pumice]

in the game, like you were trying to connect to a server

[uncut prawn]

no sessions found

[olive talon]

I have no idea what it will do, everything I know is in that link, same as everyone.

[hallow pumice]

here is an interesting thing I saw on reddit.. but basically it calls steam to use the url launch.. I will have to dm you though

[uncut prawn]

alr

[brave aspen]

As long as the mod gets cooked for the update it will work but there might be some bugs

[hexed talon]

Tbh If they recook them I dont see why I should remove them

[brave aspen]

Don’t just keep a backup save file of the server if the mod don’t work then the server won’t boot up unless the mod is removed that is causing it not to start

[nimble kindle]

Hey, im searching a mod like Primal fear can you recommend some ?

[hexed talon]

Thank You Chris!

[dire eagle]

Could someone hop in a vc with me and help me, i dont know how to describe my problem without just showing it. I'm having trouble with my own hosted server, im hosting it from my laptop

[latent coral]

So I've seen over the last year people have been complaining about dinos disappearing and not having any tracking information and nothing in the tribe logs.
This can be a single Dinos or an entire tribes Dinos (This is only referring to un podded dinos).
I've also check my servers logs and nothing is shown.
This is NOT the 50/50 bug. This is not Mod or API related.
Do we have any idea why this happens? Or is this just an Ark bug?

Thank you

[rustic patrol]

Hi! Having issues on our cluster with cats and deinotheriums spawning at all, multiple dino wipes has not resolved the issue and im at a loss as we have 0 dino overhaul mods besides shiny which should not effect those spawns at all. I have been searching for a solution and see others have been having similar issues, but have found 0 besides "I dino wiped 6 times and finally found 1". I have spaced out wipes and made sure full spawn has occurred and have even cleaned out spawn locations repeatedly as well. I have tested spawning them in and that works just fine. Only map we don't have on our cluster is astraeos as the community decided to wait for it to be finished before buying.

[last magnet]

deinos use the bronto spawn containers, so if you have adjusted spawns to lower brontos, you might not see a lot of drunk elephants

I've seen cats in the otter spawn areas (I personally made them admin spawn only)

and otters are pretty rare in general

I can't speak for other maps, I'm trying to finish bosses on the Island before I shift to SE

oh correction, cats are in the grasslands container (I use Beacon) and they only have 1 spawn at a 5% chance

[pure haven]

both cats and elephants spawn in grassland container

[last magnet]

yeah I forgot to add that too

they also show up in beaches (the elephants)

[plucky kelp]

Is there a reason the ini isn’t working to my item cap? Ppl are getting over cap bps from Extinction osds that are over cap, and even when transferred to another map it doesn’t reset them back to cap, same with the actual BP as well

[last magnet]

there's a setting in a community crunch shortly after Ext dropped to manage that, h/o

#patch-notes message patch notes, not community crunch

[still glacier]

Hey folks, Has anyone ever dealt with certain settings being overwritten/ignored? I've tried setting up a .bat file, Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini. I am able to start a dedicated server, but there seems to be something not working properly. While some settings like SessionName and SeverPassword are working and saving, others like MaxPlayers are being overwritten every time. I can't get MaxPlayers to be anything but 70.

This is on a windows11 machine if it matters.

[pure haven]

your command line overwrites it

[reef pasture]

Hello, we installed primal fear and eternal modes with my friends on the server, but eternal creatures are not spawned on the map, how can I solve this problem?

[still glacier]

Yep, I have tried without any cmdline arguments and it still is overwritten.

And if I update the cmdline to have MaxPlayers=10 it still instantiates with MaxPlayers=70

[still glacier]

[silk temple]

how do i make the whole of breeding process FASTER 10x? idk the maewings things are taking 1 day! to mate again XD .. send help
ping me if you wanna help!

[heavy drift]

hi guys, I'm having a problem when entering a server or solo host, when I enter the solo host my game simply crashes with error 385.25. And when I try to enter a server, it doesn't enter and gives a connection error. I've done everything you can imagine, if anyone can help me I would be very grateful. Contact me in private if you have a solution that I haven't done yet.

[last magnet]

mating interval should be less than 1.0 to make them mate faster. I have mine set at .25, and it's a 4 hour cooldown

or you can use a mod that has a potion that removes the mating cooldown

[silk temple]

whats the mod called?

[last magnet]

I use Crazy's Potions, but Gaia studios makes a potion mod too that has that in the free version

oh and Nanoh's makes a potion mod too.

[edgy phoenix]

Anyone know how I would add a 6x damage zone to some areas including rat holes on my servers?

[silk temple]

thatnk you so much

[last magnet]

welcome!

[last magnet]

there is awesome admin tools which can add zones to areas that boost damage

[edgy phoenix]

Thank you. Is that zone identical to a 6x zone or does it make dinos take damage too?

[last magnet]

I have no clue, I haven't tested it

[rustic patrol]

Bronto spawns are not lowered. Its really weird nobody on the cluster can learn the saddle for deinotherium either.

When I try and gene scan for them it errors out for both cats an elephants.

An were at the right patch so idk wtf is going on.

Ive dino wiped multiple times and not one has spawned of either since they released.

[arctic sage]

do a file check / reinstall of the server maybe, sounds almost like the server isn't doing stuff properly.

oh, and do you have any stacking mods? i remember having problems with some stacking mod, and having new dino's to spawn, i think it was the gigantoraptor

[lucid solstice]

What's the fix for servers looking gray on joinscreen and not allowing join? This is a self hosted server and it definitely is running

[river dock]

posted in wrong spot, oops

hoping this to be easy
ive got a cluster hosted locally. every server works except for my abberation. i have changed its ports several times, and none of the other servers have this. it shows up on browser, but you get lost connection or cannot connect to host
only thing of note is that it launches primal game data WAY faster than any of the other servers have. maybe its missing the map or something?

[pallid kestrel]

Anyone else getting 1100 ping / players unable to join servers?

[toxic hazel]

Check your server on the same Major Update

[pale thunder]

No one on my server can sprint with aquatic animals in water. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

[arctic sage]

click the server, and hit refresh in the bottom right, it should swap to join then

[hallow pumice]

thats is what I have to do too, but still wierd that it's like that in the first place.

[dire eagle]

Im completely stuck with trying to create a dedicated cluster server. Could someone help me out? I'm at a wits end.

[river dock]

How do you update it?

[silver jasper]

Does anyone else have this problem where the game keeps crashing whenever something is typed in the search bar, for example when I type “hide” my game freezes and crashes and rolls back my game (I can just save a bunch but it’s still annoying) anyone know a fix?

[hallow pumice]

do you have all the start up scripts using the same clustername and directory?

ArkAscendedServer.exe Extinction_WP?Port=7762?RCONPort=27042?RCONEnabled=True?ServerAdminPassword=HIDDEN -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 *-clusterID=mq212 -ClusterDirOverride=S:\ *-mods=940975,950914,934231,978309,929420,932365,935408,1179492,928548

ArkAscendedServer.exe Aberration_WP?Port=7761?RCONPort=27041?RCONEnabled=True?ServerAdminPassword=HIDDEN -WinLiveMaxPlayers=10 *-clusterID=mq212 -ClusterDirOverride=S:\ *-mods=940975,950914,934231,978309,929420,932365,935408,928548 -ForceAllowCaveFlyers

so the way I did it was have the cluster spot, right off a root of a drive.. the servers will make a directory called ArkClusters or something like that, then a directory called in this case mq212

it's really not a root drive in this case.. it's a shared drive so my other pc's running servers can use the same spot

[copper haven]

Hey everyone!
I’m planning to host an ARK: Survival Ascended server with a peak of around 70–100 players online at the same time. I’m wondering what kind of Wi-Fi/internet connection I’d need to handle that smoothly.

What’s the recommended upload/download speed for a server this size? And would running it from home even be viable, or is renting a dedicated server the better move at that scale?

Appreciate any advice from folks who’ve hosted large ASA servers before!

[gray crown]

Not sure if this is the right spot for this...
Is there a way to backup single player saves on Xbox? I setup a single player game so I can run it as a non-dedi to play with my son. It will play fine for an hour or two then crash. Once it crashes there's no going back. The game crashes every time I try to reload it either as as single player game or as a non dedi. Idk any way to verify files or troubleshoot like PC can.
I'm not running anything too crazy. x3 XP, x4 harvest, x8 tame, x20 raising.
Mods:
10k-90 stack mod
Cyber Structures
Dino Depot
Utilities +
Gaia Potions
Awesome Spyglass
Awesome Teleporter

There have been a couple times I've managed to get the game to load just removing 1 mod at a time and retrying, but the most recent time that didn't work. Game still wouldn't load after all mods were disabled and I had to start over. Just tired of constantly restarting.

[bleak ivy]

there isn't a way to backup on console versions.

I'd suggest switching awesome spyglass with super spyglass + (awesome spyglass has stopped updating) same with awesome teleporter but don't know which you'd want to use.
as for the other mods, dino depot sometimes has issues on consoles, fixing it is slow due to no crash logs.

can always use other maps for testing if you aren't on them yet.

if its a series S the save could just be too much for the console tho.

[last magnet]

j-teleporter is a good substitute, made by the same people who made gaia potions

also is anyone else having issues with black screen? I have to remove my player profile, and remake my character, then kill my previous body, and it happens any time I get host disconnected or log out normally. doesn't matter if I have engrams learned or not, or anything in inventory including skins. this is on The Island, and I own Astreos. Server starts and runs fine, and once I'm in, I have decent performance for my old hardware. I'm about to do commands to get my island bosses bc I can't get started on breeding if I have remake my character daily.

[bleak ivy]

is it only the island?

[last magnet]

as far as I can tell, I haven't tried on any of my other maps

my plan was island bosses then move to SE for a while, collect vanilla wyverns + SE critters, fight the manticore thn move to the Center

[fleet oyster]

Hey, is there a way of adusting an event color spawn rate? I knew there used to be a setting for it on Nitrado's general page, but it's no longer there. on ASA.

[oblique halo]

the version is stuck on 358.24 (survival evolved) but the live version is 358.25, using the update button on the server manager itself does not update the server to 358.25

[visual pollen]

Is there a setting where i can bring down spawn rates on dinos in the caves on the island?

[bright oasis]

Hello I haven't played ARK for a very long time and even when I did I didn't get very far. I recently started playing again on PC and I was trying to build a raft to allow me to transport dinosaurs around the map. However I ran into an issue where you aren't allowed to place dinosaur gates on the raft. I searched for a while and found a thread that suggested adding the line of code MaxGateFrameOnSaddles=0. I tried this but whenever I launch the game the .ini file is reverted back and becomes unchanged. I know I should probably just use the cryopods but I don't want to progress progress that far yet. If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix it or a mod that could alleviate the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

[oblique halo]

put the ini file on read only

[bright oasis]

thank you that fixed the issue

[tired geyser]

Hi, I'm trying to edit my GUS.ini (GameUserSettings.ini) and my Game.ini to configure some mods I've downloaded. I can save the changes without any issues, but when I load the game again, the files revert to their previous state. I already tried setting them to read-only, but the game seems to load everything by default. I'm playing on PC via Xbox. I've read on somes forums that several people have the same issue, but no one has mentioned if they found a solution. I would appreciate it if someone could help me, thanks! (I'm playing in single player)

[uncut belfry]

Does anyone know how to fix the lost/loadout connection glitch. I’m trying to join my friends private unofficial and it won’t let me join on either my Xbox or windows

[arctic mica]

Is it just your friend's server that you have a problem with and can other people join it?

[last magnet]

I tested with my Scorched Earth server, transferred from the Island map with some essentials to start a base, and I managed to not have to remake my character

[arctic mica]

Not had the issue myself but it sounds like there's an issue with the map file if it's not happening with scorched, I would backup the file you have and start a fresh save on the island and see if it still happens

[dawn mica]

Just Wondering, Is The Tek Engrams Broken, I Run A Cluster, And Whenever i Was Trying To Do The Defeat Boss Command, It Wasnt Working, So Went To Single Player, Still Isnt Working

[hallow pumice]

ASA?

[dawn mica]

yes

[last magnet]

I'll give it another try (I wiped the map a couple of weeks ago, actually) once I move my critters over

[hallow pumice]

doesn't work in ASA yet

[dawn mica]

ohh, alright

[hallow pumice]

you can summon them in god mode though

[dawn mica]

even went in the boss fight and didnt get the engrams

[hallow pumice]

now that is wierd for sure, which bosses did you do? dragon?

[dawn mica]

brood

[hallow pumice]

ya that should work, not sure the problem would be. have you tried the kill yourself and relog?

personally, i have never seen that work, but that is what people have told me works.. maybe they trolling, who knows

but ya i was trying to do the cheat boss thing for other people on my server who don't have time to keep up, with those of us who do like to do bosses

then realized it didn't work like it did in ASE

[dawn mica]

yeah i try relogging, i remove all mods and coding for my testing map, and i got nothing from it

[hallow pumice]

there is something else you can do, but it's kind of radical

There is a mod called Shiny!, but it's intended for pretty dinos.. well there is a setting to learn engrams from killing enraged Shiny's.. and you can adjust the configuration to determine how many engrams you get per kill.

doesn't help understand what is broken with your server though.. wierd for sure

[lucid solstice]

So I am version 64.9 on server and 69.1 on client. I think these are the most up to date versions. My server is on and advertising, but th client can't detect it (it shows grayed out) any fixes?

[hallow pumice]

and the refresh on the bottom right, doesn't turn into join?

[uncut belfry]

My friend who owns it can join, but I’m unable to on both my windows version and Xbox and I can also join any other server

[nimble drift]

Is there a way I can give a player all explorer notes

[last magnet]

no, the command is for the player to use

only way to give them admin, and let them use the command then take away admin right after

well not only way, but quickest way

[arctic mica]

Is the server player hosted or nitrado?

We have an issue where the dinos wont eat if nobody is online, this can be annoying for raising baby dinos as it requires you to be logged in to prevent the dino from dying from starvation, i'm just looking at "-preventHibernation" and i'm wondering if this would fix it or whether there's another setting that I could use?

[toxic hazel]

That is only for singleplayer that one

I use the Hitching post in the CS Mod to keep dinos out of stasis

[arctic mica]

ah you're right, sad times

[toxic hazel]

Yeahh, I hate the new stasis thing for dinos eating too 😦 lol

Halts breeding when offline too

[uncut belfry]

Nitrado

[dry brook]

unacceptable

[arctic mica]

I would have your friend contact nitrado about their server, it sounds like a networking issue

Ughhhh, thank you I hate contacting those fuck heads 🤣

[arctic mica]

yeah i gave up on them long ago lol

[rare mauve]

did discord take the option away for example me having the announcements from this discord post in my own discord?

[olive talon]

No, but this also has nothing to do with unofficial server setup help.

[mossy cargo]

Do we know anything bout what’s happening on 15th ark wise

As nitrado has a note out bout a system change etc on 15th does this coincide with arks system update ?

[olive talon]

Any information anyone in this channel would have would be in #announcements.

[mossy cargo]

I see ok thanks

Just trying to prep just incase servers go ts up etc

[lucid solstice]

I was getting this one too. Apparently it has to do with certificates?

no it was just cf error

Huh. For me it was a certificate issie

I just had that issue today also.

[toxic hazel]

Yeah was certs for a couple other people too

[river dock]

Do i need to update my servers? If so, how? Is it the same code you type in steamcmd to install it?

Removing deprecated amazontrust certificates and re-installing solved it for me

I have this issue too, how did you replace the certs ?

[dense crag]

hello i got a question, my friend and i have a own server on ark survival evolved, but the server is offline and he cant get in the panel anymore, does anyone know the problem?

I found a random post on Google that seemed safe tht did it

[gentle sail]

what do I do about mods missing a module?

[slate bridge]

It is related to Amazon certificates on Windows. We've found that reinstalling these files will resolve the issue, the steps are:
Visit //www.amazontrust.com/repository/
Download each of the DER files (image attached)
Run each file, click on 'install certificate' > 'local machine' > 'automatically select the certificate...' > 'finish'
Launch the game, try to install a mod

[slate bridge]

do the above 🙂

[toxic hazel]

Delete this file ShooterGame\ModsUserData\83374\library.json and it will go away, It will recreate itself on boot

[main crescent]

i have a question i need advice on, me and 2 friends are beginning our ark journey which means we are starting on the ark survival evolved, we use xbox series s after watching many videos we realize you can play on a server that has a few mods, so we want to create our own server just for us boys. how do we go about doing this ? does one of us have to buy the microsoft pc version and get a server provider and will that allow the server to have a few mods like “Pull it and Ark automated” for us xbox boys to enjoy? can some give us some directions we want to have a good ark experience

[opaque tulip]

ahh i hate this cert crap. thx this fixed this problem!

i used linux for ASE for 4 years and i loved it.
But when ASA only came out for windows I couldn't get it to run on linux and had to switch...
How did you get it to run?

had a lot of problems with it.
Maybe next year when my kid goes to kindergarden i will do another try 😅
thx for the infos 🙂

[arctic mica]

you won't be able to play with mods on evolved, mods came to console with ascended, but you can start up a vanilla server through the microsoft store version of the game and running a player dedicated server

[main crescent]

ok thanks

Does the dedicated server use/benefit from a GPU? Or is it just ran by CPU?

My Linux server is hosting a Windows VM on my spare PC. Ark runs on windows, but my server is only getting less than 20-22 fps instead of a solid 30 (or 60 when I update the ticke rate) like it does on a bare metal instance of windows.

(Checking in game via setcheatplayer true)

[toxic hazel]

Nope, Just CPU amd Ram

[dense wind]

Bugger, I wonder why the low fps..

Network slams 1 gig just fine, CPU passes CPU-z bemchmark alright.. (even though it's virtualized, it's not running outta ram....

2. Download each of the DER files
3. Run each file, click on 'install certificate' > 'local machine' > 'automatically select the certificate...' > 'finish'
4. Launch the server

Ark is native Linux, no proton needed

I tried, got a server to start

Tried to edit config, saved it, started server and it would wipe my settings.

Come time to find out certain settings have to go through the command line in with in some order "?port" has gotta be upfront, and some have to go into GameUserConfig.ini.

I wasn't gonna sit and restart 100 times to figure out which ones go where.

It was wiping my game.ini and engine.ini (for tickrate) as well.

So I asked here and everyone asked me why I didn't just run on windows and use ASM

Now I should just run Linux native (which I would fucking love to do), but at this point I'm fine with the VM.

I fixed the small performance issue I was having now I just gotta uncap the tick rate and I should be good to go.

But yeah, I would really love to go back to Linux.

And I might now that I can just copy the ASM configs/command line and see if I can get it to boot without resetting my configs

?port didn't need to be up front with ASE

Well someone on some page said there has to be some magical special order of the arguments or your config gets reset.

I couldn't figure it out so I used ASM 🙃

I considered using ASM through WINE, but I'm more familiar with Vm's

But I might try using WINE next.

Totally could've been an ASA page I clicked on accident

Either way my settings would constantly reset and I could never figure out why
