We use Pelayori's haven't had an issue

[rain plank]

I love the mod and we haven't had issues, I'm just saying I rely on it so heavily that it's top of my list.

[agile stone]

We started with Pelayori's but I really enjoy DD's features and customization, the only thing I'm not real fond of is the dinoball storage boxes and the terminals look weird to me. I think I'd have rather seen a dino storage medium consisting of a UI and database rather than a physical asset in game short of cryopods or whatever.

[tall ferry]

Anyone having issues after todays update "cli: auth: rcon: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:27037: connect: connection refused"

[hidden minnow]

Yes Unofficial went brrrrrrrrr

[tall ferry]

Lovely

[tepid berry]

ASE or ASA?

[tall ferry]

ASA the center

The Island works

[agile stone]

hahahah welcome to the chatter, we're all kickin' back watching Netflix, munching on Doritos and chatting here while we wait for WC to get it fixed. 😄

[hidden minnow]

wait theres Doritos? GIB

[tall ferry]

Well thank you for letting me know. I will hang out.

[full patio]

thank you wildcard for fucking up ark once again

[agile stone]

Hahahah hope you like the Spicy Nacho Cheese flavor, it's all I got!

[tall ferry]

My Dinos are not going to be happy 😉

[hidden minnow]

I have some flaming hot cheese ones actually lol

[tall ferry]

Do ya'll think they will put it out today?

[rain plank]

lilpanda said soon... but it's also steam maintenance day soooo

[tall ferry]

oh you have to LOVE Tuesdays !

If anyone would please ping me when they hear anything, I would appreciate it.

[agile stone]

Assuming I'm not chopping head's off in Cyberpunk 2077 and I see the patch announcement, I'll ping ya, no promises tho 😄

[clear pebble]

Whats the patch supposedly fixing?

[tall ferry]

My son plays Cyberpunk

[agile stone]

unofficials after patching earlier today are crashing or aren't booting at all. 65.11 broke something, 65.9 still works tho if you didn't update all your servers.

[clear pebble]

Mine are all fine and updated to 65.11. So not everyone is experiencing the same thing. Just wondering what broke for others

[agile stone]

I'm mostly a Cyberpunk 2077, Ark Ascended, and Baldur's Gate 3 player honestly, I have tons of games, but those seem to be the only ones holding my attention these days.

[agile stone]

No idea honestly.

[graceful gyro]

what kind of crash are you getting? only 2 of my 7 servers are crashing, they're getting a exception access violation error

[tame haven]

Be real nice to know. Some of my crashstacks showed the Api.dll, so I swapped to the normal server.exe and...nothing lol. Now it's just a generic crashstack

[tall ferry]

Mine keeps saying:

[clear pebble]

Sounds random.

[tall ferry]

"cli: auth: rcon: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:27037: connect: connection refused"

[tame haven]

How are your servers hosted?

[tall ferry]

In a server cabinet in my office

[tame haven]

🤔 interesting. haven't gotten any refused prints on my end lol. windows?

[tall ferry]

Linux

I run about 40 game servers in total

[tame haven]

Same. Thought something broke when I restarted all my containers 😅 do you see any average peak in what your RAM's hitting before it goes kaput?

[agile stone]

CL: 706525
0x00007ff7ef275776 ArkAscendedServer.exe!UAntiDupeTransactionLog::ShouldDeleteTypeOnLoad() [C:\j\workspace\RelA\Projects\ShooterGame\Source\ShooterGame\Private\AntiDupeTransactionLog.cpp:286]

[tall ferry]

It does run up pretty high on ram, but I have 1 TB of ram

[graceful gyro]

my 2 maps that are crashing are island and aberration, goes up to about ~28gb of ram before they crash

[humble thicket]

Our Nitrado serv pops up but won't load go figure can't have one day without an issue blegh

[tepid berry]

Everything for me works except Astraeos...which happens to be where everyone has their characters.

[tall ferry]

mine is the center and island runs..lol

[agile stone]

Ah yer running a 5u server rack? Nice, I was gonna do that myself, but I opted for tower servers instead as I didn't wanna listen to the obnoxiously loud cooling fans

[tall ferry]

15 U server rack

[tame haven]

I'd like to say maybe an item/structure in people's worlds from dupe detection, but even my blank test servers won't boot. RIP

[tame haven]

only my Islands. weird lol. my Centers are allergic to life apparently.

[west steeple]

Ok so I’m new to server and need coding is there a website to go to or anything that would help me to do coding need better drops in the drops

[humble thicket]

It seems every time they "patch" it just causes 4 more issues

[agile stone]

The Ark Wiki is a great referrence

[tepid berry]

Drop editing can be done via Beacon - but it's not a free application.

[late matrix]

Search Server Config in the Wiki.GG

[west steeple]

Appreciate it thanks

[tepid berry]

It CAN be done by hand...but holy hell is it ever an atrocious thing to try and do by hand...

[tame haven]

right? like. it can be done. but for the love of god, save your sanity haha

[west steeple]

I was trying use ai chat thing but apparently it didn’t work copy paste what ai wrote

[agile stone]

Keep in mind tho, changing drops isn't necessarily as great as it sounds like it would be, you'll be throwing off the game balance if you aren't careful. The only time I touch my loot tables is when I add a newly made mod that has something special that needs to be lootable.

[tame haven]

ai will hallucinate left and right with ARK config stuff

I tried using it for the devkit for craps and giggles and it absolutely had no idea what it was talking about lmao

[west steeple]

Ok thanks appreciate it

[tall ferry]

We have ours sync with the Ark offical settings for small tribes

[tame haven]

just referencing their dynamic config?

[tall ferry]

yes

[tame haven]

huh. didn't know they actually had that public. never messed with it. that's cool.

[tepid berry]

Yeah, I do that too - but have a small python script re-write it to be in line with the server settings how we want them

So on bonus weekends, our maturation rates go from 5x to like 15x, scalar to whatever wildcard does for smalltribes

[tame haven]

I'm just starting to get into python to manage POSTs for things like config changes. I'll have to look into that lol

[tepid berry]

Just run a cron job with a python script that pulls the .ini and rewrites bits of it

then host your edited one locally

[tame haven]

admin life is wild. 6 months ago I wouldn't have understood anything you just said lol

[upper turret]

What is the Discord of #pink+ please

[tame haven]

good tip, though. appreciate it. got time to kill anyway while only one of my maps works 🥲

[agile stone]

I'm actually working on a new GSM for Ark that's web based with user authentication, using react.js and a few other things. It's a shame WC hasn't produced a web ui server manager honestly, right now we use Haruhost but there are features and things we want that they don't have lol.

[tame haven]

Oooh that'll be nice! Dev who makes some plugin editors uses react iirc. works really nice.

And seriously, I'm surprised they never jumped on that lol. might as well cave in by this point and throw a bone to the crowd they pushed to use dedicated hosting whenever they did the Nitrado deal

Pterodactyl has been nice for me so far. starting to dive more into what all it can do since it's not a local machine lol

[tall ferry]

ya'll are welcome to drop by our discord anytime (link in my profile).

We play lots of games and have 40 servers for them all

[agile stone]

Pterodactyl is/was fantastic, it used to be open source, we used it a few years back to start a FiveM / FivePD community up, unfortunately it only works for *nix systems. I just got fed up with all the pop up overnight GSM projects that suddenly wanted a full on monthly subscription just to use em, at least this way if I do ever get it finished, I'll simply distribute it and throw up donation link or something. I'm not interested in profiting, I'm interested in a full featured GSM that's actually useful 😄

[tall ferry]

We use Pterodactyl 🙂

[tame haven]

I went to join your discord, re-read your name, and went "WAIT. I already use some of his plugins. I'm in there." lmao.

Thank you for all your hard work!

[tame haven]

It's definitely been nice to me so far, but I'm definitely worried about the future with what Rio was talking about lol. the shift to Pelican just kind of leaves things in a weird state IMO

[candid needle]

okay wildcard said patch will come soon ? what is soon for them?

[tall ferry]

Well soon for the US government is 472 days .,.. lol

[north spoke]

is there any administrator

[pearl token]

By the end of the year maybe

[agile stone]

I'd say that it depends on just how badly someone screwed up, what else may be sitting there that someone else wants to add to the patch, if they can get it tested and passed for live servers, etc. Truly there's so much involved in even adding small changes, the red tape shuffle never ends. 😄

[tall ferry]

I hear that. I'm an Discord admin for another game that is in EA.

Just one change can be hard to do

[pearl token]

Understand it’s not as simple as that but it’s always the same, never really any indication, really stuff like this shouldn’t ever happen to begin with on a game this far into development

[agile stone]

I used to moderate here back when Blue was still kinda running everything, but I've been a developer, retired and disabled these days, but I worked for SOE and a few other companies, some gaming, others security, last job I held i was working on simulators through a contract company for NASA 🙂

[tame haven]

100%. For every fix that comes after something broke is people scrambling to make sure there aren't further issues from that fix lol.

[agile stone]

Yeah that was a constant struggle at one place I worked, spaghetti code, disorganization, atrocious documentation and commenting, and every time one thing got fixed, it affected something else. Those are the pitfalls tho, not quite as bad as they were in the 90s however, the OOP approach and modular systems help a lot, now the guy working on combat doesn't necessarily break crafting.

[scarlet pilot]

anyone else haveing issues with this most recent update? i can't seem to keep a server running since it dropped.

[agile stone]

Wonky patch 65.11, it's affecting some unofficials. They are working on it.

[scarlet pilot]

one of their patches broke servers? that can happen?!?!

thanks for the heads up. ill let the rest of the admin team know.

[agile stone]

lmao I'd ask if that's sarcasm but we all know the answer 😄

[scarlet pilot]

ark arks itself more often then EA does

[hidden minnow]

Just got an update notification on GSA 🙂

[rain plank]

Usually faster than from WC lol

[indigo blade]

we just pushed out an update for the Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000060 crash fyi

[hidden minnow]

Lol yup

[tame haven]

The ArkAPI bot notifies me faster than WC does lol

[rain plank]

Yay! Thanks!

[agile stone]

Awesome, thank you, yall rock!

[solemn fable]

🙏

[indigo blade]

hopefully solves your issues (or at least this one) 😅

[agile stone]

@tall ferry lilpanda update 😄 Pinged!

[tall ferry]

Thank YOU !

[tame haven]

pulling the update now. thank you!!

[agile stone]

Welcome 🙂

[indigo blade]

good luck 😄

[tame haven]

Seems to be working just fine on my normal test servers 🙂 waiting for the API cache on the others, but I figure they'll be fine. thank you!! 😄

[agile stone]

I can also confirm, both the affected servers are fired up and running.

[indigo blade]

sweet!

thanks for the status update

[agile stone]

Our pleasure 👍 thank you for the quick turn around 🙂

[indigo blade]

no prob!

[agile stone]

Alright now that those are back up and running, I have to finish putting all the keys back into this keyboard, frickin' dog got tangled in a cord last night and took off with the keyboard in tow, sent every single key all over my studio, I still haven't found the G1 and G3 macro keys for that corsair kb.. ugh.. I'm using my spare atm lol.

[tall ferry]

I think your dog and mine are cousins...lol

[agile stone]

hahahaha

[west steeple]

One more quick question I tried to travel to one of my other servers but instead of travel it had upload survivor how do I make it just to travel

It’s probably something I have to switch on in basic settings maybe

[agile stone]

If we're talking about ASA, it's differs substantially from that of ASE technology wise, however if you're running a cluster or more than one map on the same machine, you have to make sure you have certain command line arguments in place in order for you to transfer correctly in addition to making sure you've got port forwarding correct and ports open on the machine. If you're hosting through nitrado however, there should be documentation.

[west steeple]

I’m on gportal ark survival

[agile stone]

evolved then.. got it

[west steeple]

Yes

[agile stone]

Hmmm... I haven't run an ASE cluster in quite awhile, you may have to search the steam discussions for that information, I know that command line argument -NoTransferFromFiltering, -clusterid=, and ClusterDirOverride= are important, but there's also gus or game.ini settings as well, you have to enable tribute uploads/downloads, survivor upload/downloads, etc.

[west steeple]

Thanks

[agile stone]

No problem, searching a few of those terms outta get you the information you need. 🙂

Fixing multiple issues in several clusters. Thank you!

[agile stone]

Now all we need is the 5.5 pass so we can shut down all our servers for a week while the modders get things fixed haha, release it around May 18th, I'll be gone 10 days for a family thing and our house sitter won't have to worry about babysitting my server racks 😄

[humble thicket]

Server came back up with a like 2 week roll back

[agile stone]

Unofficial did? restore a recent backup/save?

[humble thicket]

Yepp unofficial with Nitrado I'm checking backups now

[agile stone]

Can't say I've ever experienced a massive rollback like that on unofficial, a few hours at first, but weeks.. holy hell you sure it's not a failing drive or something? lol

[humble thicket]

I never have either! Shyt was crazy like I didn't know it would do that. I'm checking like I said loading a previous save.

I want to host a dedicated asa server on my pc that xbox players can join. Is this possible?

I am able to view it on my server browser on my pc but when I try to find it on xbox it is not there

[sharp vessel]

Here to drop some news, after a good night, my servers are working fine with the 65.12 update 👌

[cloud furnace]

disable battleeye and enable crossplay 😁

[peak token]

is there a amazing person here on asa that knows how to make it to where you can get past the lvl 195 was able to spawn the gen1 and gen2 ascension and they work perfect on the char and when you mindwipe is shows all the lvls (224) but when you hit 195 the remaining lvls just disappear and you cant lvl past 195 no mather what i try

[wise kindle]

195 is the game max till the next ascension comes out.
Kinda stuck till then.

[peak token]

eventho i got the +15 for master controler and gen2 rockwell they just need to fix this so i can have fun with custom levels tbh 😂

[wise kindle]

Agreed lol.

[lucid solstice]

Gen1 and 2 aren't in Asa, so it's not surprising they are broken 🤣

[peak token]

its not just about the ascensions even trying to have a custom level what even in ase was something you can customize but here its not working 😂 didnt spend close to 200$ for things to not work here now ey

[lucid solstice]

You have to write that code yourself. Server configuration on th wiki explains how to do it

[peak token]

i did that but when i hit 195 it stops even when it shows you have 300+ levels to put into your char all the others disappear (the custom dino levels work can put like 200 levels into a dino but for a player that for some reason has a dumb 195 hard cap)

[white tangle]

How could I allocate more RAM to Ark? (guessing this is my issue) I'm trying to play modded Ark but on the "Olypmus" map I get plastic graphics, I'm guessing Ark is limiting itself to 8gb and that's why? I get normal graphics on The Island

[tough egret]

Engram entries to remove bob tales extinction items from engram list? I found the ones for scorch and abb but not extinction

[dull apex]

Currently running a dedicated server on Windows and it doesn't show up in the non-dedicated server browser in game. I haven't run a dedicated server in a while so has something changed in the last few months?

[gilded copper]

Was looking into starting my server up again, we can no longer do anything less than 20 slots now? I remember doing like a 5 slot which was perfect for me and my admin team to set up the server and test stuff before opening.

[hallow pumice]

ASA or ASE?

[whole zinc]

Smas issue here I think. I can only find it if I search it up by name under unofficial server. I was still able to connect to it even with a different IP address like im a different player so I think thats good. I just thought it would always pop up on the list without having to search

[toxic hazel]

If running a dedicated server for ASA look un the unofficial tab with player server ticked at the bottom right, if you still cant see it try updating your certificates for the server, this is usualy the cause of it not showing

[dull apex]

Thank you, is there a guide somewhere about how to update the certificates?

[toxic hazel]

There is in the curseforge discord, just do a search for 'amazon certificates'

[dull apex]

Thank you again!

[dull apex]

So that fixed the issue with the ASA server downloading mods, but I still cannot see the server in the unofficial tab with the player server box checked. Six months ago, my servers showed up fine so I'm at a complete loss as to what has changed.

[toxic hazel]

Can I check too? might have a map filter on or specifically pve/pvp selected

Or if the version is below 65.xx it wont be seen either

[dull apex]

Sure. Server is announcing itself as "DacamCat Kiddos [The Island]"

It's password protected, so I have that box checked

[toxic hazel]

Yeah cannea see it, what version the server?

[dull apex]

65.12

[toxic hazel]

Should be fine there too

[dull apex]

Yeah so I guess I'll be playing around with my firewall to see if that's it.

Nothing should have changed, but you never know...

[toxic hazel]

Hmm it dont even show in battle metrics

It should even if you cant see ingame

[dull apex]

Wow so it's really not accessible.

Okey dokey, thank you for trying.

[toxic hazel]

I can say though it showing in ark has nothing to do with ports

[dull apex]

Really?

[toxic hazel]

Yarpp, I tested by not adding to firewall and not port forwarding

All you get is connection timeout when connecting

So maybe make sure you got the correct ip selected for the server and going from there, another thing you could maybe try is installing Epic Games Launcher to get the Epic Game Services as ASA runs on Epic Services

[dull apex]

I've heard about that working for some people, I'll give it a go. Thank you.

[toxic hazel]

Fingers crossed xD

[celest halo]

Instilling the epic game launcher normally works because it installs/updates the certs need for the server to talk to epic service

[toxic hazel]

Installing epic games dont work for the Api mod issue though 😦 for some mabye but most not

[celest halo]

Mods are through CF different certs for that

CF is little messed up also, they use 2 different trust. Normal CF website uses Google, the API end uses Amazon 😂

[dull apex]

Well that opened a whole can of worms. The Epic Launcher install kept failing when it was trying to set permissions, which forced me to reset some corrupt permissions on the C: drive... whew.

But now it is installed and I am rebooting.

Sigh. Still some kind of issue.

[toxic hazel]

That makes it annoying hahaha

[toxic hazel]

Yeah still not in BM either 😦

[dull apex]

I'm still messing with it. Thank you for your help so far 🙂

[dull apex]

Interesting. I pulled an older server out of an archive, updated it, and it's showing up fine.

So what did I do...?

[toxic hazel]

Restore that map save to that one, job done, forgot it happended xD

[dull apex]

Well, a new map was requested, but now I see what's happening. The map directory is never being created.

It never finished map generation, so it never advertises for join

This might be related to the -usestore option, digging

[toxic hazel]

Oh if it never says advertising to join in the console then ya

What map? post the startup line

[dull apex]

Commandline: Island_WP?listen?SessionName="DacamCat Kiddos [The Island]"?MultiHome=192.168.1.191?Port=7792?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=8?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=xxxxx -mods=929578,933975,933099 -servergamelog -NoBattlEye -usestore -WinLiveMaxPlayers=8

(blanked out the RCON port)

[toxic hazel]

ASA no use query so can yeet that too

[dull apex]

Can't quite yeet it, WindowsGSM adds it automatically

[toxic hazel]

My TI map has quotes on the start line, maybe something related "TheIsland_WP"?

[dull apex]

But I did yeet the -usestore and trying again

oh!

[toxic hazel]

Ahh GSM, think that needs it to see it

[dull apex]

TheIsland

It's a typo, lol

[toxic hazel]

Ah yiss! good spot hahaha

Im blind LOOL

[dull apex]

I feel sooooo dumb right now

[toxic hazel]

It happens to us all at times xD

[dull apex]

Yeah now I see the map load, and the directories are created

So the answer to "did something change?" is yes. I became an eedjit.

Well, at least I have shiny new certificates

[toxic hazel]

😂 Ahh man, atleast it was noticed

[earnest socket]

Good afternoon everybody I hope everybody is doing well just wondering if there's anyway of moving all my stuff dinosaurs etc from ark survival evolved to a single player server? I've had my server going for over 6 years and I am tired of paying for it nobody wants to play on there but I do not want to lose all the stuff that I have accumulated over the years I have dinos with mutations into the millions. That I worked on for a long time.. so just wondering if anybody knows if it's possible or if there's a way of moving all my stuff from ark survival evolved to a single player server.. any help would be greatly appreciated thank you..

[swift perch]

unfortunately you cant with consoles but if you got a PC might be able to use the world for singleplayer not sure exactly how

[earnest socket]

@swift perch okay thank you I thought I heard about it before but maybe I was mistaken..

[swift perch]

back on ase console players that wanted to keep ahold of their servers were told to rent a server if they wanted to play their world dont think they could play singleplayer with their world

[earnest socket]

@swift perch ok

[olive talon]

Remove any cluster setups that you've added to your cluster, enable all uploads/downloads. Upload your stuff to an obelisk/transmitter, go into singleplayer and download it. Just make sure it's all on the same account, if you're playing on your server through an Xbox account make sure to use it to log into singleplayer.

What snowbot is referring to was strictly for the official server saves that were sent to nitrado for users that wanted to have access to their official saves.

[earnest socket]

@olive talon

I do not have anything cluster to it ..

[olive talon]

Then just enable the uploads/downloads, like I said XD
I mentioned the cluster because a cluster ID added will prevent it.

[earnest socket]

@olive talon I currently do not have anything clustered but I do have it enabled should I disable that feature?

[olive talon]

Delete the cluster ID if you have one, yes...

[earnest socket]

@olive talon should I disable cross Ark?

[olive talon]

No

[earnest socket]

@olive talon okay just cluster ID I will try that thank you..

@olive talon thank you for your help I will try that..

[foggy plinth]

No need to always tag lol

just use the answer function of discord?

[foggy ferry]

Yo, I haven't played ark for like 4 months, does anyone know if any big overhaul mods have been added/updated?

[tepid berry]

just go look at the curseforge website

They have mods sorted by upload date if you so choose.

[harsh forge]

mod

[humble thicket]

whats the best way to find mod IDs on curseforge if they dont write it in the mod info?

[toxic hazel]

If no ID in the project info area it is likely due to the mod not being fully uploaded or technical issues

[jaunty vortex]

Did I mess the Easter event ending? Usually there is a server update to incorporate items in game and the mod can be removed. Thought it finished on the 30th

Wondering if they are waiting for the 5.5 update?

[celest halo]

#status-updates message it ended, they must of had the stuff in there already

Or they just put it to passive and didn't say anything 😂

[mellow zenith]

Hey im trying to setup a private dedicated server for asa from my pc and im wondering if its the same as ase

[dreamy aurora]

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
If the players have a broken file and mods and they want to install the structure, they can crash the server.
That's really annoying because then I have to find out who it is so they can fix the problem and then rejoin the server so that the server doesn't crash when that person joins.

[humble thicket]

Does anyone else have a dedi tek storage bug? I can't craft from them

[astral ledge]

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekATV_C",EngramHidden=False)

Is this the appropriate code to add the Tek ATV to the list? I just want to unhide it, still leaving it requiring Alpha Overseer completion.

[oak kiln]

I installed Ark ASA afteer a long time of not playing it.
Im trying to down load Mods through the Ark Mod List in game, But when i click on the Mods list, it ggoes to the mod page,but everything is greyed out. I can type in the search bar but nothing happpens. All i see on that page is the "Ark Mod List" at the top, below that i see Discover, Browse Mods, Installed mods. to the top right i see the Redeem code and Search bar. Below that i see the background image, but nothing else. I have left this open for over an hour to see if it was just a delay of some sort.

I can get into official, and Unofficial servers that dont use mods.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, Verified game files multiple times, and even manually installed Mods.

Im at a loss for how to get the Mods to show up on the mod list, and how to be able to get onto the modded server.

[warm grove]

I had a world on asa like a year and a half ago and I still have the save but whenever I try log into it I get a PS5 error that says “something went wrong with this game or app” I uninstalled the game and reinstalled but it didn’t fix the problem, is there any way that I can fix this and go back into that world or do I have to delete it and start again?

[toxic hazel]

Mods download when you join a server with mods, or at least should, to add mods to a server use the mods ids in the startup command, you could try downloading and installing the Amazon certs for them as well, can be found in the curseforge discord

[solid tide]

anyone here use GSA dediconnect to host their server? I'm having issues making a new cluster allow transfers... i checked the config template and all that jazz.

[toxic hazel]

Set a custom cluster path? Could be this if not

[solid tide]

turns out it was a locked container! I'm good now thankfully

i appreciate the response though!

[frigid vine]

Hrello 🙂 Anybody else noticed still buggy stack sizes, even after the annoucend recent patch?
Example:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[acoustic pier]

anyone got an updated player level experience ramp override for the new levels added by king titan? (one that is similar to singleplayer settings xp ramp)

mine was last updated shortly after abb came out

[spare raft]

Hello. I'd like to find a solution. On my server, I'm offering a starter pack. To do this, I use RCON commands like this:
|||{
"blueprint": "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic.PrimalItemConsumable_Narcotic''",
"quantity": 1,
"quality": 0,
"is_blueprint": false
},|||

I'd like to give away a Pteranodon with the same system. Is it possible to make it appear directly tamed in front of the players or even in a vanilla Cryopod?

[plucky wren]

27015, 7777, and 7778 are mapped to their respective ports inbound on the internal IP of the server (UDP only)

And this is why I think theres something weirder going on

[tribal bridge]

Anyone else not able to send a ticket in to nitrado or even open a chat with them? My server on nitrado is saying it's running but when searched the server is saying it's offline

[plucky wren]

Whats your server name?

[tribal bridge]

Arktopolis

Their chat windows pops up but their language options say offline and tickets can't be sent

[plucky wren]

I see it in my list, you're good. Map is Astraeos_WP

[tribal bridge]

It'd grayed out for me

[plucky wren]

Its a client/you issue

[tribal bridge]

Thank you

[toxic hazel]

This port not used in ASA

[plucky wren]

it is for steam query port

[toxic hazel]

Yeahuh, ASA dont use steam server list

And I dont think you can use the open command with a password

[plucky wren]

7778 also doesn't seem to respond on UDP

Ports no affect it showing in the server list

Could also try install epic games launcher for the games services certs too, works for some

[plucky wren]

where would the certs be located? Would I install the launcher on the server?

[toxic hazel]

Install the launcher where the server is running, no sign in needed

[plucky wren]

still nothing after installing epic games launcher

[plucky wren]

it was working apparently... needed Show Player Servers

[toxic hazel]

Ahh a classic one hehe

Usually mention it but went over me head

[spare raft]

Nobody for me ? 😄

[fathom tinsel]

I am having a issue with users on my server(s). They can log in the first time just fine but after a while they get a timeout. There is no way for them to timeout since it is happening with one player on the local network (its a 10g network too). They reinstalled the game entirely and were able to join again.

This is now happening with a player outside the network but they can no longer log in. The moment they get "into" the server it times them out and they get booted.

Anyone see this before or have this issue?

[fathom tinsel]

hum. Might have been my fault. It looks like while creating a 2nd server in the cluster on the same system I had the ASA port specified as the same as the other server. I don't know why it didn't kick me out but it did kick others out since I imagine the game was confused.

[dreamy aurora]

Does anyone know the problem where players are kicked off the server and the server is then no longer displayed but it hasn't crashed? I can then wait over an hour and it won't be displayed. It will only be displayed if I shut it down myself and restart it again.

[echo fractal]

someone have a good host for dedicated server for ark asa?
and any videos, texts where is explained how i can setup a cluster

[wise kindle]

Check the pins for this channel

[inner mist]

I have a question. My friend is trying to set up his mods on ark ascended on nitrado but it keeps saying that it's not in the mod list

Every time he tries to make it work, it keeps failing

[wise kindle]

If its not on the mods list, then its not a crossplay mod OR its a custom cosmetic in which case, its not installed server side.

[inner mist]

They're trying to install the server but it's not installing but it's reinstalling infinitely

[wise kindle]

he needs to use the keyboard shortcuts to stop the server, let it sit for a couple minutes and then hit reinstall.

The keyboard shortcuts are located in the lower left corner in the <> arrows menu.

[inner mist]

Alright

Sorry if these issues are quite dumb

[wise kindle]

he can join the Nitrado discord and get help as well. There is a general questions channel there.

[inner mist]

Alright thx

[olive talon]

It's fine, the channel is for server setup help which includes Nitrado, but their discord is usually better for it.

[inner mist]

Thank you guys

[fathom tinsel]

Has anyone ran into a issue where sometimes after a server restart or update the multipliers don't seem to work? Gathering goes way down, xp goes down, etc...

[marsh elm]

Is there an update coming out servers are going crazy 🤣

[fathom tinsel]

Anyone have issues with stat bonuses not following between servers in a cluster? I have a big boost to weight but when I transfer to a new server in the cluster the boost (to all stats) is gone.

[winged ridge]

[icy kettle]

Is there a server ini setting or a mod I can use to change respawn timer for cave drops?

[hallow pumice]

I never tried to give stuff via RCON, I believe there is server mods for shop functions which can replicate the samething you are trying to do

[hallow pumice]

in home, I like Haruhost

[hallow pumice]

i don't think there is a setting for that

[echo fractal]

For how many players is it?

Or what did you use

[smoky sundial]

I just made a server and have started it but every time I try to join it says connection failed?

[daring surge]

Try restarting your game, it happens for me sometimes too and I have to restart the game

[smoky sundial]

I have a bunch of times maybe my servers still loading or something not sure

[hallow pumice]

you can configure it as much as you like, it helps manage the servers. Memory is usually the only limiting factor.. like maybe 10g per instance you start up

[smoky sundial]

I've mad a server started it and everything but it isn't showing in the server list?

[olive talon]

Usually just as simple as waiting, if it's nitrado you'll usually need to wait 30 minutes to an hour for the initial setup to take place before making any changes, and then after doing so just give it a few minutes for the game list to recognize it. If it is not nitrado, check "show player servers"

[smoky sundial]

Bruh it showed but didn't let me connect then it disappeared again

It's been hours since I made the server too 🤔

Whenever it does show I just get connection failed

[echo fractal]

okay so it is for maanging the server
I need a server in general - a server i can re nt

[hallow pumice]

oh ok, ya I don't have an opinion on which rental service is the best.

[regal kernel]

does anyone know what the code for the easter event in asa was?

[toxic hazel]

It's just the mod so add that and should be all goood

[fathom tinsel]

Try connecting directly by IP?
Hit "`" (Tilde) to open the console, its the key by the escape key.
type open ip.address.here:port?password

Ex. open 192.168.0.1:7777?MyPassword
If it is not password protected, leave off the ?MyPassword part.

[bold mason]

Quick question, i have servers setup to save ever 15minutes, but why do my map files exist at random points hours apart?

nevermind, google has not failed me this morning lol.

[deft lily]

hello all, hope everyone is well. i just have a quick question that i was wondering if someone might be able to answer for me. i have steamcmd created severs/cluster for a couple of months now and despite the settings that i have tried to change my "max" players remain at 70. not that it is a big deal or anything. i have tried changing it to 30 but when i look in the .ini file where i changed the 70 to 30, reverted back to 70. i dont get it.

[still gorge]

hey every time I try to do boss fights in my server I get this error when the server crashes any ideas? (DM for image)

[bold mason]

Is there something i need to change to get cats to spawn? my players cannot find one at all and i've done several dino wipes.

[inland fractal]

where the PlayStation players

[honest current]

hey there, is there anyone here that's familiar with transferring an unoffical (nitrado) save to single player for ASE? I've followed some instructions from a youtube video where you rename your steam ID profile files after copy and pasting through FileZilla. Unfortunately none of it worked, and no matter what I try the game just keeps crashing before it can load in on SP.

[hallow pumice]

which map?

[last magnet]

there is 1 cat spawn on the grasslands container, I had seen one of them near Smuggler's pass in that little area between the hidden lake area and the mountain across from carnivore island.

^ on the island, I cannot speak for any other map. I disabled spawns bc I didn't want to think about the raptors getting them so they're an admin spawn critter on my cluster

[bold mason]

island, center and i think asterous? even the gene scanner wont' find them.

[humble orbit]

Is there a way to port your SP save data onto a new server set up. Or is it best (if you’re going to start a server) to just start fresh??

[brave aspen]

on console i dont think its possible to do that

[pure haven]

Raptors and other carnivores dont aggro on wild cats

[last magnet]

ah gotcha.

[pure haven]

their default spawn weight is very low even after supposed "buff" to spawns. just increase their spawn weight and limits yourself. another way would be rewrite grassland spawn container or add extra spawn entry with more cats there

[last magnet]

^ this

Eclipse did a mod to have them spawn on all maps, possibly boosting their spawn chance

the cats everywhere mod on CF

[runic sparrow]

Hey there I was playing in my ARK SURVIVAL ASCENDED dedicated SERVER and I joined successfully in my ps5 cuz I turned on cross-play but my friend everytime tried to join the server he gets this message:- lost/timedout pending connection to host

[plucky wren]

Is there a way to change server config/variable via RCON?

[arctic sage]

sounds like a networking error on your side, check your portforwarding on your router, and or firewall settings on the server

[bold mason]

never messed with that, i'll take a look thank you!

[humble orbit]

First timer : How easy is it to set up an unofficial server without a pc (I’d be doing most of the work through my phone) Is that even possible??

[foggy plinth]

My server folder with a cluster of all maps has over 260 GB, can I make it smaller??? With backups, I'm almost at 450 GB

With the game's 200 GB which is going up my whole SSD will then only be wasted for ASA xD

[last magnet]

it'll be highly annoying and a pain in the neck at best

[last magnet]

the movies are what's taking up the most space (and the main pak file). I just sucked it up and got a 1TB SSD just for Ark (and an expansion card bc I didn't have a free slot for the new SSD)

and use a 4TB HDD for backups

[foggy plinth]

Yea i use a whole 1TB ssd now only for ASA and my other 2TB SSD for other games works fine ig but in the future i think it will be quiet tight

[last magnet]

yeah for sure

games are all so chunky now! I'm impressed by how small Stardew Valley is both install size and updates compard to Ark

[heady iron]

Quick question. Are the creature ID's the same in ASA as ASE? For example if I want to make a particular creature untameable. The ini command is the same with both ase and asa correct?

[last magnet]

as long as they're the vanilla ones, yes

modded ones might be a bit different, but the mod manifest will have the info

(if they had an ASE mod and an ASA mod, i mean)

[heady iron]

Thanks

[zenith crest]

Hey, I made an ark server with dinos capped on lvl 1500 and it worked perfectly like the 20 times I did this before. But for some reason all of a sudden a couple of dinos had their stat lvls drop to 50 which were over 200 hundred before. Anyone had this issue before?

[lean palm]

Hello, I use a server from gportal for ASE and sometimes it crashes. Does someone has an idea how I can solve this?

[uncut prawn]

Hello if i try to host a ase server whitout the battleye will other players be able to use admin commands?

[woeful sun]

Looking to change baby imprint raise times on nitrado what would i set for like 2-4 hr giga raise 100% imp

[olive talon]

Yes. Battleye is just the anticheat.

[olive talon]

Maturing can be 50ish, I use 45 and they grow in 5h 25m. You can use BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=10 for imprints

[storm wigeon]

hello i made my own server and it doesnt want to work

I have also done the portforwarding part with the 7776 7778 stuff

i can join but others from outside cannot,it shows up and they can even put the password in but it says connection timeout everytime

[spare oriole]

Man denkt du kannst nicht noch sympathischer werden als du schon bist und dann sieht man das 😂 🫡

[tardy pine]

Is anyone aware of a downside to allowing Tesla in caves on a pvp server?

[simple zephyr]

is there any way to put a password on a server and have those that have been whitelisted not require a password on login? Or do we have to keep putting a password everytime we login.

[tardy pine]

I don't think it works that way man

And if your having to use a password, the whitelist isn't working

[west rock]

Hi, I'm ordering a server on Nitado to play with my friends, except for a big problem: an engram unlocks passes and stat points on its own. I'd like to be able to do it manually. How can I do this?

[ember zealot]

Does anyone know how to replace or disable the Blue and Yellow orbital Supply drop spawns with Red and Legendary on Extinction?

[woeful sun]

Having trouble turning decay timers off for structure on nitrado what line should I be using

[glacial depot]

How does one access admin panel for pc and Xbox?

[woeful sun]

How did u fix it same issue

[storm wigeon]

click ` (you can change this in the keybinds) so it open chat box type enablecheats (password if you're on a server) and then type ShowMyAdminManager

[storm wigeon]

.

[glacial depot]

Thank u!

[storm wigeon]

how can I ignore Godwin the golden lol

[dull juniper]

How do you slow spoil times? Is it bar setting up or down?

[mellow nymph]

When i get home later ill pull it from my settings

[woeful sun]

Thx

[hushed temple]

does anyone here play like fully modded ark world?

[olive talon]

Disable both pve and pvp timers regardless of game mode, usually fixes it

[olive talon]

Higher values increase spoil timer

[olive talon]

Several do, the channel is for setup help including mods and such

[dull juniper]

Ahh thank goodness for info, thank you!! ❤️

[olive talon]

All server configs can be found in the pinned messages ^^ yw

[dull juniper]

Ahhh awesome! i'll check it out! 😍

[hushed temple]

ah okay thx i just need an opinion on mods because i installed a lot of mods and i play to use them all on 1 world and that world is gonna be like fully modded

[olive talon]

Without knowing what mods you're using, it's typically best to keep large overhaul mods to a minimum. Like, don't run Omega and Primal Chaos unless it's stated that they're compatible on the mod pages etc

[celest halo]

PS also has a small amount of HD space for mods

[hushed temple]

Hmm Makes Sense i am currently using These modes whats Your opinion?

[olive talon]

If they remap the same creatures, its best to just pick one and toss the other.

[hushed temple]

How i send pics?

[celest halo]

You can't

[hushed temple]

oh

[olive talon]

What would you need to send an image of? Image perms are disabled for most users in the main channels.

[celest halo]

No pics, no links (besides from the GG ark wiki and maybe one other site)

[hushed temple]

image of mods i use in 1 world

[olive talon]

Did you add any mods? If not, look for this and see if it's set to True

bAutoUnlockAllEngrams

[olive talon]

Just type out the mod names if you'd like

[hushed temple]

okay its just gonna take me a minute cuz i use like 20 mods

primal chaos,ark descended, moro indomitable duo,godzillark tlc,cyrus kaijus,shiny dinos,draconic chronicles,human npcs,super spyglass plus, der dino finder,utilities plus,upgrade station,pelayori cryo storage,automated ark,pull it!, solo farm mod,tg stacking mod 10000-90,custom dino levels and a simple perfomance mod (60fps)

should i maybe remove somes?

or?

[toxic hazel]

Compared to some 20 mods is crumb amounts xD

[hushed temple]

and the priority thing is in order as i named them

[olive talon]

Would remove either descended or chaos (as stated above most overhauls are not compatible)

Automated Ark has a pull function, so pull it is likely not even needed

[hushed temple]

how are they not compatible i tested them both together and all and there are both things from both modes armors and tools and bosses as well?

[olive talon]

Rest should be fine, just be careful with the stack mod

[olive talon]

More likely to cause crashes/issues, especially if the modders used the same classes for the creatures

[hushed temple]

oh

that sucks

but both modes are very fun

[olive talon]

Plus more likely to cause issues since both are larger mods

[hushed temple]

ye i get it

[brave aspen]

That stack mod is buggy u can go into the game config and changes stack sizes with out using a mod

[hushed temple]

oh okay thx but how is it buggy?

[olive talon]

Console users cannot unless they're using a pc/service.

[olive talon]

If it updates wrong or gets removed from your modlist, your resources will go poof

[hushed temple]

oh thats very bad

how do i do the things i saw on tik tok so its less laggy like remove clouds and that things?

[brave aspen]

Ah yeah I did forget about that

[olive talon]

You can either use admin commands, or use Lily's Tweaker to autorun the commands for you.

r.volumetriccloud 0
r.volumetricfog 0

*some say that you can just use these but I've not tested them-
r.fog 0
r.cloud 0

A performance guide is also pinned here #bobs-with-probs message , but most of the time just fog and clouds is good.

Admin commands might need to be toggled, if so see image.

[hushed temple]

okay thx

[woeful sun]

Ah thx

[dull juniper]

Is there a way to stop those birds stealing your inventory? I have one mod but doesn't seem to be working... (side questions; 1. does it matter if it says ascended etc on the mod info? 2. Is there any other mod or option to stop them critters?)

[drowsy oar]

Hi guys, i was attempting to set up a non-dedicated server for me and a friend to play, im using my pc and theyre using my xbox (both diff accounts) and when either one of us host a non-dedicated the server doesnt pop up, we also tried inviting and that doesnt seem to work either as it says failed to join. Im using the windows version of ark and this is all ark survival evolved, help??

[brave aspen]

Ark survival evolved is not cross play I don’t think u can do it that way

You would both have to be on the Xbox for it to work

[drowsy oar]

i have heard that its crossplay between windows and xbox, no?

[toxic hazel]

Get a cat hehe

[drowsy oar]

the same servers pop up on the server list when i look on the xbox and pc, but when i actually host the server doesnt pop up

[dull juniper]

... yeahhhh.... hilarious 🫣😅
I just loaded on the beach at Central map, if I had food bar on I'd just be dying of starvation... i hate that I can't relax when I load in on Ark

[toxic hazel]

I'm serious haha

The cats they added stop them

[dull juniper]

I thought Ark was crossplay?! 🫣 or at least that's what's advertised

[brave aspen]

The new one is yes

[drowsy oar]

same, but im having some issues tryna host a non dedicated

[brave aspen]

It is but the windows one has to be the windows 10 edition for it to work

[dull juniper]

Oh?!?!
So admin cheat kitty when I load on a new map 😅 is that the sabre kitties or... those forest beasts that drop from trees?

[drowsy oar]

wdym? my pc has to be windows 10?

[toxic hazel]

The shoulder pet cats

[brave aspen]

ARK: Survival Evolved supports cross-play between the Xbox One/Series X|S and the Windows 10 version of the game. This functionality, known as "Xbox Play Anywhere," allows players to switch between the console and PC versions of the game while retaining their progress, Gamerscore, and achievements.

[dull juniper]

Ahhh, gotcha! Thanks

[brave aspen]

You’re welcome it was the old ark that wasn’t cross play

[dull juniper]

Ohhh! What they called so I can look em up? I'd love a shoulder kitty!!

[toxic hazel]

Think lit just 'Cat'

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Cat

[brave aspen]

Also if he has mods it won’t let you join either as the window version doesn’t support mods

[toxic hazel]

They are very hard to see in the grass too lol

[drowsy oar]

yeah no mods are installed, the issue is that the invite fails and the server never shows up

[brave aspen]

Weird

[toxic hazel]

Are they running the gamepass version too?

[drowsy oar]

yeah, ive seen people on reddit have this issue but the invite does fail, im not sure if its because were both on the same internet or something like that but i dont know how to fix it. Although what is working is the unnoficial pc pc sessions, so im going to have a look and see if i can find a good one

[drowsy oar]

yeah

[toxic hazel]

Yeah strangee

[dull juniper]

That's the best news I've had all day! I can surely spawn a black shoulder kitty, so my cat can join my adventures 😍😍 (the real one often sits in front of the screen anyway, so i guess he wants to be part of it anyway lol)

[toxic hazel]

Yeah probably can spawn them inn

[olive talon]

Spawn Blocker mod works for removing spawns

[olive talon]

Nondedicated just has issues regardless. Windows 10 refers to it just being the Microsoft store version on PC, your PC OS does not matter.

[dull juniper]

Aww awesome! Thank you!!
I've got rid of those dinos too that are evil/disturbing (cat scratching face and kentro spike rides)

And i think this is my last question for a while...
How do you stop the cursor from auto snapping to things on the UI? (And ideally reduce to ONE click actions instead of TWO)

[honest current]

Has anyone here done a transfer from nitrado to single player for ASE?I did mine through FileZilla but it keeps crashing before it loads in

[olive talon]

Check the Nitrado discord if possible

[olive talon]

Afaik that's just how controllers are

[dull juniper]

I'm sure it wasn't that way on the old ark? It always jumps to the wrong thing in my case and navigating menu is so tedious and slow (each millisecond can be crucial 😅)

[olive talon]

They made several changes to how controllers work on ASA including the ui and hotkeys

[dull juniper]

Would a wireless mouse connected to console be better? And still use the controller for movement etc?

[olive talon]

Not sure, I've heard people mention non controllers have issues when on consoles

[dull juniper]

Aww, thank you so much for your help and guidance, think I'll ready to get sucked into the wonderful world of Ark (and accept the things that can't be changed!) 😍👏👏

[dull juniper]

Ahh, re spoil time, it's incorrect. On console higher numbers is slower spoiling.

I discovered this coz on the menu it said high numbers mean more pooping... i reduced the figure, and dinosaurs were just constantly... depositing 😅

It's possible the setting menu information might be wrong on a few things 😬 a piece of meat was about 20 mins to spoil on low figures, on high figures it's now 2 hours

(I do have it on single player set up, so I imagine the figures are emphasised towards faster anyway)

[olive talon]

That's not incorrect. I said higher numbers increases spoil timers.

Increase = longer timers

[plucky ember]

Unofficial server when will come

[dull juniper]

Ahhh You said timers, I must have read it as "speed"! I'd better double check my interpretation in future (Can I blame autism 😅)

[plucky ember]

When will unofficial server will come

[olive talon]

No worries

[plucky ember]

Counter bee

[olive talon]

Unofficials have their own servers/times/etc.

[plucky ember]

When will unofficial server will come

[plucky ember]

When they will come

[olive talon]

Don't spam, ask your question better or reword it as there are already unofficial servers everywhere.

[plucky ember]

No in india are not available

There are only official server

[mellow nymph]

im looking at setting up hourly points and a shop for my server. was looking at Arkshop. does anyone have any experience? any easy tutorials for using it?

[copper belfry]

Anyone else has an issue with the CS mod?
It suddenly dissapeared from my nitrado server and all structures are gone

[wise kindle]

It just updated. Sounds like it didnt update well.

[hallow pumice]

in the mods discord cyber angel said nitrado did it, nothing in their control

[graceful jay]

Does anyone know if it is possible to self host a ASE server for consoles? And not go through nitrado / gportal ect

[abstract heath]

On a gportal server how do I change the amount of stats gained per level

[last magnet]

Spawn blocker to block spawns, or Better Creatures which has a config: [BetterCreatures] PreventIchthyornisStealing=True

[last magnet]

Ark Shop is good, I think it runs via a plugin, I use Resonant's Shop which was a bit easier for me to set up. I did armor sets, weapons, canteens & food, tents + sleeping bag and some basic farming critters and cute pets. and taming helps like kibble and wyvern milk but I set those prices to be high so they'd be for like if you found a cool critter while out and forgot to load up with kibble before going out nad like a healing potion for emergencies.

[river dock]

will look into it. is it free?

[last magnet]

yep it's a crossplay mod

that means it can play on console and PC, and it'll work on Nitrado servers as they can't use plugins

[river dock]

neat

[dull juniper]

Has anyone made a map similar to ragnarok?

[dull juniper]

The old Ark required a server console, so I have two PS4s... I've now upgraded and I have two PS5s.:. one console you run a non-dedicated server, the other is the one you can play on your server

[barren blade]

Hi I am trying to configure my world so I am able to add another 300 levels after taming a dino as it caps at like around 100. I am using mods and I found that you need to configure your game.ini, but im not sure how to exactly

[swift basalt]

many of my mods icons are missing in crafting and in inventory, i can craft them and use them but icons are missing, verified files and all ok, used these mods before so i know its ok. any solution?

[olive talon]

Mod author has to update the mod, nothing you can do but mention it to them if they've got a discord or website or on the curseforge mod page

Anyone know of a mod that clone the game mode of the old ASE beginer servers?

[dry void]

Just started up my first server yesterday and got it up and running as vanilla, but when I added mods to the startup batch file it wouldn’t start. Tried with and without quotes around the mod IDs. Any ideas?

[vale sierra]

Hello, for some time now we haven't been able to set mod structures. Vanilla works, but the mod structures can't be set. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

When I try to be creative, wrong structures are placed

[pale thunder]

Anyone know of any good server managers for ASA that has no paywall?

[echo fractal]

someone recommended haruhost

whats the best way to host a non dedi server? where can I rent a good hoster?

and can someone tell me what the costs are if i want a server with duplicate protection (plugins)

[last magnet]

Try uninstalling the mod, closing the game, then reinstalling the mod. On the server of you have access to the folders, and you know the project of number (found on the cf mod page), you can go to ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ShooterGame/Mods (may say a different version than Win64, ) and delete that folder. Do this while the game is off and after making a save.

Then you can restart the server, making it reinstall the mod fresh and you can log in. It sounds like a corrupted file which can happen randomly. CF has a weird download system that can mess up mods.

[abstract heath]

How do I change the stats gained per level on gportal

[last magnet]

Try looking for creature stats, I have no clue how gportal shows their settings editor.

[spice timber]

Hello

I'm trying to host a game on my pc for me and my friends, but my game is locked around 30 fps , why? Ithink its commun but i usually have around 60 fps in high settings

But my friend has no fps issue

I tried to play in solo mod, and i'm around 120 fps for some reason

[last magnet]

playing the game and hosting a game on the same machine will make anything struggle

my laptop was struggling when I was trying to play single player but I get 60 FPS playing on my server

[spice timber]

Well my friend has more issue while playing solo than on my server that i host

But when he host the server, he has no fps issue

and me i have issues

I'm gonna try on an other map

yea i have less lags on ragnarock

rip

[abstract heath]

Any familiar with gportal settings mind answering a couple questions

[neon idol]

Aint no way bro is playing ark on a laptop. What u got in it? A nuclear reactor?

[tepid berry]

ARK plays fine on anything modern + a 3060; just r.VolumetricFog 0 and you'll get +25fps

[last magnet]

Asus ProArt Studio 16, bought in 2023. Nvidia 3070Ti GPU card

and I run on medium-high settings and turn off fog on every log in.

I also play on a wired connction, my wifi was struggling, adding to the lag

(I play with my husband and his buddies, and if he was in my base the same time I was, I had horrible lag spikes that went away if one of us left the base. and was solved by running ethernet to his PC and my laptop)

[onyx sluice]

I just downloaded for ps5 because it was free I just started playing sigle player and non dedicated went to go change something on the settings and it hit me with a whole new character 🙃 created screen any way to fix this bug I reset my ps5 but nothing ?

[river dock]

anyone know of an ASE Plugin that acts as a downage detector?

[hallow pumice]

sounds like went through the process of making a new world, with that I am not sure about how sp on ps works.

[onyx sluice]

Yea I was flying with my tame and I wanted to change something on the settings in solo and non ded so I saved back out change it when back in i was met the creator a character screen again.I also played ark mobile in solo same fucking problem every thing was lost so its a big bug. So it's sad and mad at the same time

Also in reddit has reported the problem too

[humble thicket]

Anyone ever use starter mod ascended and can walk me through how to set it up?

[hallow pumice]

ya kind of the reason I go with making my own dedicated server

[onyx sluice]

Let me guess you need to pay for that ?

[hallow pumice]

oh i don't, it's running on some extra pc's i have laying around. I personally use Haruhost to manage my local servers. @onyx sluice tagging you cause i didn't use the reply.

there is a lot more to it, than that simple sentence, but running your own dedicated server doesn't require renting.

[onyx sluice]

Oh your doing it that way must be pretty good

I thought you're w
Talking about renting

We're

[hallow pumice]

ya gives me a lot of control and my friends hop in with me.. so pretty flexable and not accidently lost

[onyx sluice]

That cool then you think they would have been fixing bugs like this but I guess not

[hallow pumice]

I think there is a way to back up sp games and might be ways to restore them. but what you are experiancing isn't new. like if your world was still there and you only lost your characters there is aids on how to get your stuff back to your new character

[last magnet]

the character loss thing's something from ASE's early days. I self-host and my server manager software does automatic backups of both the world and character profiles at login and logout

[onyx sluice]

How do you so that ?

And it's kinda bs lost My progress

[hallow pumice]

well progress is fixable if you don't mind a few cheats. But I think @last magnet was just saying running on a dedicated server allows more options in recovery.

and when I say cheat, don't take it in a bad way.. many people will do that as a work around when the game breaks due to something out of their control

no one is going to look at you too funny cause you did a cheat to get back to level 30 after losing a character

[onyx sluice]

Yea I guess but rn because I play on the ps5 and the plus subscription ark is free for a bit giving it try then that happens lost the progress I use to play the original ark back when the server were up

[hallow pumice]

ya I use to be official 100%, then when they ripped the servers from us, I downloaded a copy of the official server save.. then got hooked on self hosting

never did the single player stuff though, okay well I have, just never serious to care what happened with those saves

[onyx sluice]

Yea kinda ass that not a thing they don't about it but yea

[last magnet]

Yeah I used my sp save to start my island map

And I had a nasty bug where I had to remake my character every login and kill my body. So I got very good at giving myself levels and getting my stuff back with commands. I think something fubared my map, but I wiped it after I moved my tames and items to my SE map

And my SE map hasn't had any issues other than creature spawns

Knock on wood, lol

[onyx sluice]

Yea it's been ass man how the fuck is this still a bug

Low key want to make a ticket see what they say

[marsh elm]

Anyone any idea on how to reduce cave spawns on the island ?

[olive talon]

You can use an automatic wipe mod to force wipe cave spawns regularly so that they dont overpopulate

I use this one on my cluster-

How can I enable fliers in non flier maps?

[vale sierra]

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve our problem. I always delete all mods when updating. Despite all this, I can't create any mod structures.

[deft lily]

Is there a way to add custom paintings to steam cmd created servers for console?

[woeful sun]

Fog and cloud saves u barely any true FPS global illumination and shadows are the big fps increases

[tepid berry]

I get +20 fps easy with just volumetric cloud turned off, because they do a lot of global illumation from the calculated cloud reflections. The calculations are a lot simpler, and don't make the game look like trash by doing this method. Turning off global illumination and shadows -- at that point why not just go play ASE?

[woeful sun]

Cloud n fog saves me 6fps on a 12700k 4070 ti super 🤔

[tepid berry]

Guess you're not standing outside with a lot of clouds then it seems

[woeful sun]

What cpu u have

[tepid berry]

5600x on a 3060 12gb

[woeful sun]

Ah it’s a big drop in cpu

But with true fps it’s 6 for me no frame gen crap

Stat fps

[tepid berry]

Yeah, so turning off clouds is going to do more for people in CPU bound situtations

[tough tendon]

Does anyone know of a way to remove "Frail" trait from the game? I looked at server config settings online and other sites but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it.

[woeful sun]

Yeah I guess I play all low global illumination 2 avg 180fps up from 100 4070ti super 12700k 32gb ram and a 990 evo m.2

[foggy plinth]

This game ... second time now I come online to see my whole world just gone like everything gone and only a few structures left

All you have to do is check the crossplay settings for each platform if it's Ark Survival Ascended.

How would I create a dedicated/ non- dedicated server for me and my friends that play on Playstation and I'm on Xbox

[hallow pumice]

rent or something you will run in your house?

[fleet oyster]

Hey, I'm having an issue with changing a crafting recipie, and I've tired a couple of different options. however, would you guys mind double checking this?

I put that in the Game.ini

[pseudo chasm]

Hey I’m having an issue with my self setup dedicated asa server. I use my home PC to allow me and my friends on ps5 to play. My game runs fine when I launch it, however when anyone else does it gives them a timeout. Is there anyway to fix this?

[rocky kestrel]

Make sure your IP addresses are correct and have the right ports opened

[woeful sun]

ah thx i had it as consumable

Could any setting prevent dinos from not raising when no one is online?

[viscid heart]

Yo my non dec server keeps crashing when i try and join back i only have 3 small mods on it and alot of progress and need to know a way around it?

[tender hatch]

Hey folks... any idea how to do a workaround for Baby-Stasis if the last tribemember leaves the Map or the Server restarted.
I know about the baby grow up fix mod but we wanna have our server clear of mods.

Its based on Nitrado and we dont have access to server-side settings.
Thanks

[rough flame]

I cannot save my settings on my server on nitrado what is the problem.here ?

[austere oyster]

Hey so a buddy of mine just got a server for us how do we give ourselves like super boosted stats like the stuff we see in other servers where you put like 3 points in weight and can carry like 10000000 carry weight or have like 5000% melee damage what is it we have to do to make that happen?

[pliant acorn]

Is anyone else having this issue on their own server, where everything is running normally and out of nowhere the ping suddenly drops to 500-1000? Then it goes away with a reboot and comes back after a while. (This is a root server and has multiple maps, but the issue only occurs on The Island.)

[sly pivot]

How do we get the Astraeos map for our Cluster? Setting up a server for it and confusion (we're new Ark server owners don't hate)

[hallow pumice]

not that I personally ever changed those values, pretty sure they are in the gameusersettings.ini in the server directories

[thorny vector]

Are there a lot of servers that allow crossplay on ascended

[austere oyster]

Some are some aren't like we can't update our fortitude or like our crafting or anything like that and we don't know why.

Can someone hop in a discord call with me and help me with setting up this server stuff? Me and my buddy have no idea what we are doin this is just confusing...

[hallow pumice]

are you using a server manager, like i prefer haruhost

It only goes to seven it doesn't go to ten?

Or can we add more?

[woeful sun]

add those lines

default is 1

7 i know is weight

[austere oyster]

Ah alright

[jaunty vortex]

ASE or ASA?

[pseudo chasm]

Asa

[jaunty vortex]

Those are ASE ports, except for 7777

[pseudo chasm]

Oh then what are the asa ports

Or is it just 7777. Bc I put multiple in case it didn’t work

[distant hearth]

yep asa only use the one udp port for connecting players, 7777 udp is default .
can change it with -port=xxxx in the start command line , where xxxx = the port you want to use.
Some people have issues with 7777 unsure why so i always recomend using 7778 udp

the port will will need to be forwarded through windows firewall(if using windows) and what ever router/hubs/switches etc is between the pc an the isp

[pseudo chasm]

Ok I use the GitHub tool ark server creator to make it so I will update my router port forward and see if that changes anything

[jaunty vortex]

27020 if you need rcon (TCP)

[wicked fiber]

does anybody have experience setting up dedicated servers im having issues with the coding not working

whenever i try to open arkascendedserver.exe it just closes out and nothing happens

[pseudo chasm]

Ok I double checked my port forwards, only leaving 7777-7778, and it still only works for me and no one else. My firewall rule also seems to be valid

I feel as if I’m missing something but I’m unsure

[strange swallow]

i have created my own server but i cant find thes setting that fixex class disallowed ase ark ps4-5 any0one got an idea how i can fix it dm me pls

Anyone know how to enable yourself for admin / commands ?

Why can’t I use any mods I download?

after you download the mods have you restarted game? its best to restart after downloading or sometimes they wont work properly

[pliant acorn]

Is anyone else having the problem of their server's ping going from normal to 300-700 after a certain amount of time?
It's not the root issue, as only one server is affected. The others are running normally.

can anyone help me,me and my friends have that game in epic games but when any of us create an local server the other one cant join it what we need to do

[slim gull]

i am trying to host my own server using steams dedicated server, but when i launch the server the server version is 65.17 but my game is 65.18? why isnt the server using the latest version?

[wise kindle]

It is. Check #patch-notes

[slim gull]

it says: "ARK Version: 65.17"

[half solar]

Is it normal that I have to download mods for a server several times?

[cedar jay]

guys i always get a timeout error when trying to join a friends undedicated server,is there any way to fix it?

ASE btw

[pseudo chasm]

Yeah mine is also outdated. Is this normal

[slim gull]

i tried using both cmd version and using steam download version and both were the same too

[wise kindle]

Rule of thumb, run what Official is running.

[cedar jay]

welp

[slim gull]

no servers on the server tab is on 65.18

[quiet gale]

can somebody help me host a non dedicated server? I would really appriciate it

[restive lily]

are there any minimum specs for hosting dedicated servers?

[lucid solstice]

Technically yes

I don't know off the top of my head what they are

Any one else having trouble with the taming mechanics on play station? It keeps making me spam the x button to put food or any thing into another inventory

If you press and hold x on the stack you want to move then press l2 momentarily it will transfer the whole stack

[clever trail]

Anyone else's extinction also constantly crashing on Windows?

[regal iris]

How would you go about leaving Uploads and Downloads on for a server, but stopping single player items being uploaded and downloaded as foreign animals/items players.
And keeping the server a closed circuit.

[last magnet]

-NoTransferFromFiltering in your commandline

that will stop people from uploading from SP

[regal iris]

With the -
Or can I place this in my Ini

[last magnet]

it's a commandline command so yes, with the - just before it and a space before the dash, and no it won't go in ini

[regal iris]

Alright thanks, I wanted to keep a place to store Dino’s/players/items open but not allow people to breed on single player or spawn in things to just bring over.

[last magnet]

welcome!

[merry needle]

heya! I am unsure where to ask this but I think this might be the right channel. I had tried running ark recently but it doesn't seem to be working at all much sadly. It plays the moment for a few seconds then crashes, the game doesn't itself pop up at all. I have tried reverifying files. I use steam and windows 11

[errant fox]

Is the easter mod good to remove?

[olive talon]

Yep

[errant fox]

Thanks CountryBee

[tawdry galleon]

Are any of you guys having tames and baby dinos vanish at random?

[deft lily]

Is there something that can be added to the .ini file that can automatically disable the “ally” looking of dinos? If so, what and where? If someone wouldn’t mind sharing.

[barren blade]

Hi I am trying to be able to put in an extra 300 levels into already tamed dinos. I heard you do it in game.ini but I can't find what to actually put into it. I found a steam post for ark survival evolved but it doesn't work for ascended unless im doing something wrong

[hollow moss]

I've got a 14th Gen i7, the previous generation flagship AMD RX 7900 XTX... My machine runs about 12 FPS, and it's absolutely lagged like all hell... Hell, I can run Flight Simulator in 4K maxed out... but ASA... Hell nah.

[jaunty vortex]

You have plugged your monitor into the HDMI/Displayport on the graphics card and not the motherboard?

[brave aspen]

Ur hdmi cable is probably plugged into ur mother board instead of the gpu. Hell 12 fps u should be be getting way better i have a 9070 xtx with a ryzen 7 9800x3D and im pushing 180 -200 FPS

[molten palm]

Hello everyone, I need help. It's about our Scorched Earth server. For some time now, we've only been able to place vanilla structures. Mod structures are jumbled up or can't be placed. Since it affects every player, it's not just a bad mod install on the client side. We've tried a lot of things. Mods have been verified, completely reinstalled (mods and Ark), started the map without Beacon, started the map completely without config, and reduced mods to just the few structure mods that can no longer be placed. All other servers in the cluster are running without issues with the same mods and the same config. Only Scorched Earth has had this problem recently. Nothing was changed previously on SE that could have caused this.

[toxic hazel]

Usually happens most on mod updates, I get this when Cybers updates, one time I have to delete the mod folder content both client and server side and let mods download when you join the server

[molten palm]

Thanks yea that's known and we did that to see if it's a bad or corrupt install. But no success

[toxic hazel]

Hot dammit, if that no work after I usually go the the mod authors xD maybe someone else might have something else, all the luck

[molten palm]

We have some practice in solving weird Ark problems 🤣 but this one is absolutely new to us. I'm in contact with the modders yes and we are all clueless. The mods we use haven't any updates the last weeks, we didn't change anything. It's really mysterious. Thank you

[round frost]

how do i change player stats per lvl on nitrado

[molten palm]

The mysterious problem still exists when only one mod is installed on a vanilla SE map. And it doesn't matter which mod.

[toxic hazel]

Could maybe try reinstalling your amazon certs but not sure that would help

[toxic hazel]

When you uninstalled the mods did you wipe the data from the drives to btw? just reinstalling sometimes no worky

[molten palm]

Yes tried too. The last idea we tested was to start vanilla SE with only one of the mods and it doesn't matter which one we tried the problem still exist. Now I'm waiting for the complete reinstall of Ark. Yes the Folder/Data was cleared. Now the hope is that a reinstall will sort the things. I appreciate your help very much

[molten palm]

Amazon certs checked too and nope

[toxic hazel]

Yeah a fresh install was gunna be my next suggested test

[molten palm]

We are looking step by step what's wrong and that is our last idea. Two days of searching, testing and talking to many others and still no clue 🤣

[toxic hazel]

Yeah from what i've read so far, usually reinstalling mods both c/server (removing the mod folder data not just reinstalling) and verifying server files get them working again

[molten palm]

I absolutely agree with you. We thought so too, but this time it's not as easy, and that's a normal procedure that's sometimes necessary with Ark. So far, everything points to the Ark installation itself being the cause of the problem.

[toxic hazel]

Soo tried running a update to verify the game files?

It verifies before updating

[main depot]

Can someone tell me why the following line in Game.ini doesn't work:

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

WyvernMilk isn't stacked. Other resources work. Only WyvernMilk doesn't...

[toxic hazel]

Lemme compare to mine hehe

[toxic hazel]

They look exactly the same as mine
Your's
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=5,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
Mine
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_WyvernMilk_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=6,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Maybe you can see any difference?

Mine does work btw

[main depot]

Just the 5/6 - but that won't be the solution, will it? 😉 I've seen this line many times now - for ASE, for ASA - I don't see any difference 😦 So I'm wondering why it just doesn't work. Maps tested: Island, Center, Astraeos

[toxic hazel]

It works on all my maps, amount wont matter, I just set to 6 so was the same size haha, mine is actually set to 100

[main depot]

Very strange. There must be a reason. We've stacked Raw Meat, Fish, Org-Poly, Corrupted Nodules, etc. this way, too—without any problems. But we haven't been able to stack milk since SE 😦

[toxic hazel]

Yeah samess, got all that stacked too 🤔

[toxic hazel]

Try moving it to the very end or another spot in the list, just read that sometimes solves it for some

[main depot]

I've now placed it at the beginning of the "ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity" block. Because of the current breeding bug, a restart will take some time - maybe tomorrow evening.

But I have the feeling something else is wrong. For example, with the config (definitely not due to mods), we can't use the Astraeos Myth Creatures mod. The inventory is no longer displayed. I can only spawn the three dinosaurs invisible, etc.

It must be something wrong with the config - but how do you find something like that? 😦 Even two things that are blocked by something else.

[toxic hazel]

Not sure there is a way to find conflicts or something being blocked by another thing 😦

[toxic hazel]

In the GUS check the Item Size mulitplier is set to 1, read someone used beacon and it set this to 0, when he changed to 1 milk started stacking, even though the wyvern milk code says to ignore it

[molten palm]

Problem solved, thanks again for your time and effort. It was Ark itself. After the fresh install of Ark everything is back to normal

[main depot]

ItemStackSizeMultiplier=1 - is set

[golden nest]

Does your gameusersettings file contain port=

[molten palm]

The mysterious is solved, it was Ark itself.

[strong flax]

Guys does anyone know why, when I set my ps5 pro resolution to 1080p everything is fine whit ark but when I set to 2160p my ark's fps is like 20 and it's so bad?

[remote zephyr]

Had the same issue recently, tried all the steps you mention. Had 8 servers running, all the same mod list, and only one of them worked. I ended up doing a backup, reinstalling game files (checking game files didn't work either) and putting saved config and game files back in. It solved it. Just be sure to backup all the things you need. 😏

[molten palm]

Because there were all the signs at first that something was wrong with the mods or something was wrong with the configuration/settings, everything was double-checked and individually tested to rule out certain things. Finally, a complete reinstallation was the only option. I'm not worried about backups; they're available. We back up our servers every 10 minutes. Not out of boredom, but from experience. 🤣

[molten palm]

Yes with ports is everything fine.

[golden nest]

I've experience similar issues. Except, the downloaded configs didn't come with ALL the data we needed. Ports= and Password= were missing. I had to manually add those lines in.

We recently lost an entire save after simply adding in the easter event mod, but I always keep 5 backups total every 15 minutes so that's not a problem.

After configuring the new server installation, everything worked just fine. WildCard keeps tampering with the configs which is fine, but they don't tell us anything deeper down.

As a server administrator, I am quite literally in the dark the majority of the time. It's truly an atrocious experience, but we keep coming back for the game.

[molten palm]

You're absolutely right! WC often holds back on useful information, and as a server operator, you feel left alone. But anyone who's been with Ark long enough somehow likes this torture, lol. You also get very creative in finding solutions. And precisely because of save game losses for various reasons, we back up everything, and often

[frigid vine]

Did you find solution? I figured out the same issue. Some items won't work.

[main depot]

No, unfortunately not. I don't have any idea how to try it either. I'm moving the Wyvern Milk override line to the beginning of my overrides now—maybe a different position will help—unlikely—but okay—I'll try it 🙂

[olive talon]

You can change ItemStackSizeMultiplier, mine is at 3 iirc. Mutton, milk, venom, prime meat and fish have to be manually overridden in the game.ini

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_NamelessVenom_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Honey_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_Fish_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[vast mason]

Not sure if correct place to ask, and please excuse me for sounding like a jerk but, did ya'll break ban lists with recent patch? Nitrado Banlist do not seem to be working, as it just told me the tribe I was trying to ban was already on banlist, like wtf?

[wise kindle]

Something changed recently and we arent sure what, but its being reported by others.

[vast mason]

Thank you for confirmation.

[deft lily]

Is there something that I can add to the .ini file to disable ally looking this way I don’t have to do it manually for each Dino?

[quartz ledge]

anyone know who are the best server hosters for survival evolved modded?

[last rose]

Has anyone ever had an issue with a structure or decor mod on a server, where when you place the crafted item it is showing it as a different item? For instance, I have a home and decor mod and I crafted glass walls, when I am trying to place these on a foundation, it says there is no snap point for chibi/cryo display globe......

[wanton schooner]

Can anyone help? My friend bought a server on PC and me and my partner on ps can join but he cant

[distant hearth]

no, has to be done manually, i wish they wud switch it off by default but nope

[distant hearth]

there isnt really a best an it likely depends on your own location . in the uk we like g portal , prob good for all of europe tbh . usa not sure

[distant hearth]

its not uncommon for mods to do this , sometimes its just an error in the code , sometimes its just a corrupted file.
worth checking the mod authors discord to see if its a know issue

[deft lily]

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that. Happy Ark’n 👍🏻

[quartz ledge]

Does portal limit ram? I tried checking it but they don't show ram so I'm worried the server will llag alot or crash

[nocturne coral]

Who is it through?

[wanton schooner]

Nitrado

[distant hearth]

they all limit ram, but ive us4ed g portal with 20 odd mods on ase with no issues mulyiple maps , mutiple servers , some with map mods an its always been fine

[quartz ledge]

ya but how much ram are u limited to.

[distant hearth]

dont know sorry, maybe can try ask there customer support?

[nocturne coral]

In the settings > general are all the platforms selected? (On nitrado web interface)

Please respond by @ me I have this channel muted

[dusty jay]

is it safe to remove the egg event for my cluster? Just wanna make sure people have removed the mod and retained the rewards without issues.

[wanton schooner]

They're all selected he's just unselected them and reselected them and saved it to see if that works

[dusty jay]

@distant hearth Does the thumbs up mean im in the clear?

[distant hearth]

yea safe to remove

[dusty jay]

thank you

[wanton schooner]

@nocturne coral They're all selected he's just unselected them and reselected them and saved it to see if that works

[nocturne coral]

When trying to join for him what happens?

Like crash? Loads? Or what

[wanton schooner]

@nocturne coral we can join on the ps no problem but he gets a connection error when trying to load in

@nocturne coral

He's sent me a pic of what it says it says that the connection was lost to host would you like to wait to automatically join this session?

[nocturne coral]

the first an obvious thing is he needs to make sure he has a strong internet connection. If over wifi, try using a wired connection (if thats an option)
2nd - If the 1st is not it he can Verify Steam Ark Game Files.
Tell him to open Steam > Right Click Ark > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of game files

[last rose]

Okay, I will check their discord then. Thank you!

[sacred gazelle]

what should i do i try to make a server and the game crashes i uninstalled and installed back and nothing happened

[deft lily]

With a dedicated server there is a button on the server window that has two arrows pointing up. Once pressed they point down and some new options appear. The one that has me extremely interested is the RunCommand. Could anyone elaborate what can be done with this?

[nocturne coral]

Read the crash logs

Then address the crash issue

Trying to get a modded server up using steamcmd, but when i use app_update to install a mod it says “can’t install, no subscription”. Server runs without mods but won’t when I add -mod=xxxxxx to the startup file. Any ideas?

[hushed ember]

hi. I am new to ark. I would like to play this game with my friends who have ark survival evolved on epic games. But I own it on steam. How can we play together? We just want to play PVE story mode and just want a private match, so other random players don't join

[river breach]

Any particular reason the -OldConsole launch arg is no longer working on ASA?

Still creates the seperate UE5 console window

[blissful oak]

When I open my server with the module, I will see the red font (Error querying server mods): Api Error: Processing (serverUnreachable) causes the server to fail to start, friends, how should I solve this problem?

[toxic hazel]

Update ya amazon certs, which ones can be found in the CF Discord

[blissful oak]

Is this the file called ra2m02.cer and AmazonRootCA1.cer?

[toxic hazel]

Not sure meself

~DM'd you the link to it

Can I just copy the gameusersettings and game.ini files from my single player game to my server? Or are there any lines that need to be changed/deleted?

[burnt brook]

When I update ARK on Steam, Astraeos download shows that the content is unavailable or can't be connected to the content server, so I can update it normally by removing Astraeos. What's the situation? ? Has anyone been in the same situation as me?

[wraith swallow]

is there an ini to stop people from afking on beds, chairs and ect?

[wise kindle]

look up KickIdlePlayersPeriod in the server configs wiki.gg

Trying to disable Assualt rifles
I’ve placed the path WeaponRifle_C
And tried just Rifle_C
Neither have disabled it. I’ve disabled all other fire arms but this one’s being stubborn. Anyone know another file paths? I’m going to attempt MachinedRifle_C next

That worked.

[rigid maple]

u can't

it already works it was something with thhe server

[raw glade]

@foggy lion

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.

[river breach]

Im unsure how the registration for the unofficial servers list inside of ASA works, but is there a way I can manually tell the server what IP to register under?

The actual game server is behind essentially a proxy. It appears(?) that the game server registers itself to the server list with the public IP of that game server? If that is indeed the case, obviously that wont work due to the proxy.
It needs to go:
ASA Player -> Proxy Server -> Game Server and back instead of the current ASA Player -> Game Server. Its trying the second option(it seems?)

[zinc bloom]

Does anyone know if changing the map on your nitrado server will keep my progress on it saved should i want to return to it? Speaking specifically of modded maps, I'm playing on Amissa.

[hallow ibex]

I've just set up my own server with a mate on ASA and we are jumping through maps to find the one, can confirm you start all over again, new character and that... however, i did learn about CrossArk which allows the ability to transfer your character, items and dinos to another server, unsure if it applies to same server differnt map though

Does anyone know much about the event mods by StudioWildcardMods, like Eggcellent Adventure or Summer Bash etc?
Can i download the mod and keep it on there and then it activates everytime the event is active or do i have to download them each time the event is active and then uninstall them when it finishes? Assuming they are active for unofficial servers too.
mostly asking for lag reasons

[celest halo]

if mod is installed its active

[hallow ibex]

ok, active all the time or only during the events? apologies, just want to be clear 🙂

[orchid jasper]

I've been playing a non-dedicated game with a friend, and the tethering is getting annoying. We'd like to switch to a local dedicated server, but that seems to be extremely complicated. We're both playing from Steam on Linux using Proton. I've seen a few different guides with dozens of steps, and that's before trying to move our non-dedicated save over to the dedicated server.

Am I missing something simple and obvious?

[olive talon]

If you have the mod on, it is active as long as you have it on the server.

[hallow ibex]

ok so Fear Ascended all year round 😛

[olive talon]

Yes you can definitely do that lol

[hallow ibex]

Noice 🙂 Many thanks guys

[dry void]

I moved my SP map and survivor files to my server pc, and the server boots up fine but when I click download survivor it gets stuck on loading. I’ve changed the file name to my Steam username. Anyone know if this is a game issue or a me issue?

[nocturne coral]

Maybe more details like what kinda server, is there an error? Etc

[celest halo]

Ark profile files on a server are not named after steam username

[dry void]

Ahhh thanks! I only had time to try it once last night and what I was reading said to do that, but now I’m seeing it’s an ID#

[celest halo]

For ASA it's the eos id number

[dry void]

Thanks! Gonna try it out later today

[orchid jasper]

I tried launching the server from the steam Ark Dedicated Server "game", and it says it's running with some visible log events, but I can't find it to connect to with my game client running on the same computer.
I tried using linuxgsm to download and launch the dedicated server, and it does a lot of setup but then fails to start with a generic "no server running on /some/path" error.
I'm not sure what to try next.

[celest halo]

I just used steamcmd to download the server and proton and use a sh script to start the server on linux

[rich kiln]

I've run my server/cluster with 2 maps for quite while now, but only until recently that it just doesn't start consistently. It sometimes opens without error and just closes. And then when I start it again, it starts perfectly fine.

[toxic hazel]

Check to see if any usful info in the crash logs
Shootergame\Saved\Logs

[hardy marten]

They are getting a timeout because your port forwarding isn't configured or your firewall isn't allowing connections from outside your network

[pseudo chasm]

But I have it set up that’s the issue

[orchid jasper]

could you share your script? also, did you start a new game on the dedicated server or copy over an existing sp or nondedicated game?

[hardy marten]

host your own server for ASA to crossplay with friends theres many tutorials to script it yourself or third party programs that can help

[hardy marten]

then your setup is not 100%, its very easy to mess up the firewall or accidentally use the wrong IP/ port numbers

[pseudo chasm]

I use the udps: 7777-7778, 27015

[hardy marten]

i typically use a custom range as the default range can sometimes have issues depending on other variables. however even if your port range is working you need to allow the port range to be used in windows firewall inbound rules

[pseudo chasm]

I have inbound rules done with those exact ones and the port forwards. What custom range do u use

[hardy marten]

i have many servers for several games so i use 15000-15999

[pseudo chasm]

Instead of 7777-7778

[hardy marten]

correct, my servers don't use 7777-7778, as default your servers will use the typical 7777 range as that is what ark chose

[celest halo]

``` i dont copy over SP, most are new i do now and then copy the save to a new VM for testing things.

[pseudo chasm]

Should I also change what’s within my bat file?

[hardy marten]

your servers have to use ports that are allowed, so if you change your ports yes make sure your servers are within the range you gave

[hardy marten]

im assuming you are only hosting one server yes?

[pseudo chasm]

At the moment I’m only attempting 1, but I’d hope to have others for different maps

[hardy marten]

i dm'd you a video to help clarify

[wintry berry]

Hey, i cant use global chat on my Server. What could be the Issue? my config enables it

[orchid jasper]

I'm a few pages into search results and can't find anyone describing how to use steamcmd to download proton

I already have multiple versions of proton installed with my normal steam, but I'm wary of using those instead of a download dedicated to my server

[celest halo]

thats a pain, cant use anonymous login for proton

you have to login with your steam account to download it

[orchid jasper]

I can use my already downloaded version, I guess

#! /bin/bash

export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=/home/sparr/Games/Steam
export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/sparr/Games/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/376030

This is what I've come up with based on your script. I also tried a few variations. The best result I've had so far is for the dedicated server window to flash open then close, and this output at the console:

fsync: up and running.
05/14 17:17:29 minidumps folder is set to /tmp/dumps

[celest halo]

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH end folder is wrong, should be 2430930 (dedicated server app id)

[orchid jasper]

2430930 is ascended, I'm playing evolved

[celest halo]

evolved be even easier then, evolved has linux binaries for the dedicated server

[orchid jasper]

in /home/sparr/Games/ArkDedicatedServer I have installed via steamcmd. I tried changing that to point to the copy installed by steam at /home/sparr/Games/Steam/steamapps/common/ARK Survival Evolved Dedicated Server and had the same result

[celest halo]

my evolved start script ```bash
#! /bin/bash

/home/someuser/ark/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer Extinction?listen?SessionName="Some Ark Server"?MaxPlayers=10?Port=7810?QueryPort=27045?ServerPassword=somepass?ServerAdminPassword=someadminpass -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs -NoTransferFromFiltering

[orchid jasper]

in ARK Survival Evolved Dedicated Server/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux I run ./ShooterGameServer TheIsland?listen?SessionName=XXX?MaxPlayers=2?Port=7810?QueryPort=27045?ServerPassword=XXX?ServerAdminPassword=XXX -gameplaylogging -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs -NoTransferFromFiltering
which produced the following output

Shutdown handler: initalize.
Using binned.
4.5.1-0+UE4 7038 3077 404 10
05/14 17:25:45 minidumps folder is set to /tmp/dumps
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110
```and then it just keeps running.

Running the client on the same computer finds no LAN servers.

I'm curious why the server binary is setting the client's appid for dumps

[celest halo]

most servers do that even my valhiem server set the client id for the minidump

i havent ran or played my evolved servers in a long time, so not sure if they showed in game as a lan server, think i just added them to the server list in steam and connected that way

[orchid jasper]

random side note: trying to run the windows dedicated server directly from the steam client produces more output in the server window that opens. trying to run the linux dedicated server directly from the steam client produces an error that the non-server binary is missing

progress! with the linux server running from a command line, outputting as above and then nothing else, I can go to my steam server list and add 127.0.0.1:27045 and the server shows up with the right name and player limit. now when I try to connect I have to enter the password, which I do. the game launches, then I get "Network Failure Message" "Unable to query server info for invite". But I know the querying works because Steam just did it successfully.

if I didn't know better, I'd say the devs had never made an online game before... but apparently they didn't make this any better/easier with ascended?!?

open 127.0.0.1:27045 from the in-game console has no effect other than adding that to the console history

although maybe a message I got later is related, "Host Connection Timeout" "Lost/timedout connection to host". This came up after I had left single player back to the menu.

[lucid solstice]

You are hosting from the same machine you are playing from?

[celest halo]

prob have to change the QueryPort=27045 cilent and server both prob trying to use it

[orchid jasper]

at this point I've spent longer trying to set up the server than playing the game. I guess we'll just keep playing non-dedicated and live with the perks and penalties of the distance tether

[celest halo]

i dont remember what steams default query port is

[lucid solstice]

I don't personally recommend hosting from the same machine you are playing on😅

[orchid jasper]

I changed the query port to 27027. I was able to query the server from the steam server list. I tried to connect (this time with the wrong password) and got the same "Unable to query server info for invite" error message in-game.

[orchid jasper]

I don't have a third computer to host it on.

gonna give up again for now. thanks for the help.

[celest halo]

not sure on that, mine was not lan only had friends that joined so i had port forwarding set up, and it was no on same comp i was playing from

[steady furnace]

I need help. I set up a dedicated server using steam.exe and ive managed to get everything running, the ports are open and my freinds can join and we can play. However, I want to change the game rules, and in my gameusersettings.ini file there aren't any settings to adjust multipliers and rates like harvesting or hatching. Does anyone have some advice for me?

[woeful night]

anywhere i can go to find settings to set up nitrado server to 5x official?

[celest halo]

Most default settings are not in the ini, you need to look at server config on the wiki for what options are available to add to the ini if you want to change its default value

Or get beacon and make changes and have that make the ini

[steady furnace]

Thank you so much I'll work at it when I get back home today 😇

Hey,
I am wondering how to add mods to a Ark survival evolved server that’s running via pterodactyl, any help is greatly appreciated!

How would I enable specific custom cosmetic skins to be useable on PvP? The same Cosmetics work on PvE but not on PvP.

[olive talon]

Just enable the whitelist. Go into your server gameusersettings.ini and add this under [ServerSettings]

CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL

[rare scroll]

[timber stirrup]

is anyone else having issues trying to get babies and dinos to survive since the easter update? It seems like around that time our ability to breed and keep dinos alive has been very rough. we had 16k worth of meat out for the adolescents and 4x growth and maturity and they all still died. Gacha's with full food won't last the night.

[shut pumice]

i´ve never had this problem in single player

[timber stirrup]

yeah, this is server based so it runs 24x7 with people on it. single player would not have the same issue.

Server computer reset due to windows forced update... Now all I get is server timed out... Tried rolling back to older save same thing ... Any ideas?

We can see it and it shows a ping but will not anyone join all of us get same timed out

What kind of Hardware Specs would I need to run a Modded ASE server? I have an old Dell Optiplex with a 4th Gen i5, I think I have 16GB RAM for it, and a 500GB SSD on the PC rn, unsure if it has a shitty old Workstation GPU in it though... Also, can I take a Non-Dedicated/Single Player world, and use it on a Dedicated Server? I plan/hope to Host it for 2-8 Players MAX as I only play with one other player atm.

[safe frost]

maybe someone could help me on here. So I just started playing this about 2 weeks ago and loved the last ark. And I was able to figure out how to transfer everything I needed between maps. But on assented for the life of me can’t figure it out. I wish I could make a friend on here with psn that I could screen share with and they could walk me through

[last magnet]

1. yes you can take your single player save file and put it on the server, just need to rename the player profile to your SteamID. (easiest way is enablecheats, then cheat ListPlayers in your SP world and copy down the string.)
2. I'm running ASA on a 2014 Precision 5810 with 64GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a Xeon CPU. So I imagine with your specs, it'll run ASE. I'd try to get more RAM if possible, 16GB is absolute minimum. And a larger SSD + a backup HDD. Strongly suggest reading this https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[iron zinc]

How do i set up a dedicated server for ase?? Can someone help me the guides arent much help on yt

[lucid solstice]

Those specs will run at least 1 modded ase server no problem

[last magnet]

I put a link to th wiki that explains how to set up a dedi. workes for ASE and ASA

in the comment just before yours

[median jetty]

I play on a moded server, and the last few days all tools have stopped working. I can restart the game and it still doesnt work. Some random hours later they work, and suddenly they dont. Anyone been experiencing something similar? Is it a known mod or some setup mistake?

[last magnet]

like tools in the game? like the hatchet etc?

sounds like the server needs a reboot, not just the client (your game)

[median jetty]

yeah hatchet doesnt collect anything and when bullets hit they dont provide tranq

[last magnet]

okay so the server could use a reboot

[median jetty]

it restarts daily which is weird

because I thought the same tbh

[last magnet]

are you the admin of the server?

[median jetty]

no

[last magnet]

ah the admin would be better. sounds like a setting went weird

in the ini

[median jetty]

just me and some friends, but I've the only one who have experienced it the last few days

but thanks, I'll ask him to check

[median jetty]

if anyone else experience this it helps to die

[last magnet]

or that yes

I forgot that was an option lol

[real ingot]

Is there a way to stop only certain items from being transferrable between servers?

If you're on asa I had a similar issue and it was because I was using class names instead of blueprint paths, could be that?

I can't send pictures of what im doing in here, but in my configuration settings everything works fine, however, the breeding settings aren't changing. Could someone please help me figure out what im doing wrong

[jade nebula]

Whats the format for them? I take it not "engramentry_"

[dire lantern]

I set up a server using this guide to port forward
https:/ /ark.fandom .com/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup
I can connect to the server just fine, it shows up on the ingame list and on battlemetrics and other people can connect to it

the problem starts when around 25-30 turrets or more start to fire at the same time
it causes a desync between any player clients and the server
at least for any player clients in the area who have it rendered
if it's not rendered then there is no desync
I checked the server "frame rate" or tick rate and it stays consistently at 30 while this happens
server load does not seem to increase much if at all
for anyone who does not have it rendered, the server doesn't even seem to lag nor does their ping change.
if the player client is desynced long enough then eventually BattlEye will kick them with the message "Client Not Responding"

here are the system specs for the system running the game server and my gaming pc running the ASE game client. although other people have helped me test this as well.
ASE Game Server System:
GPU: Nvidia RTX 4070 Founders Edition
CPU: Intel Core i9 11900k
Cooling: Corsair H150i Elite LCD XT AIO
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Royal 128GB (4x32) DDR4 3200MT/s CL14-18-18-38
Motherboard: Asus Maximus XIII Hero ATX
Storage: 3x 2TB 980 Pro Samsung NVME SSD (yes I do mean 3 drives or 6TB total.)
Case: CoolerMaster MB530P Mid Tower
Power Supply: Corsair RM750e
Operating System: Windows 11 iot LTSC

My Gaming PC running the ASE game:
GPU: EVGA RTX 3090ti Kingpin Hybrid
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950x
Cooling: Custom Hardline Direct Die water cooling with Liquid Metal (420mm rad)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6200MT/s CL30-36-36-76
Motherboard: E-ATX Asus X670E Crosshair Extreme
Storage: 2TB 990 Pro Samsung NVME SSD
Case: Corsair 7000D Airflow Full Tower
Power Supply: EVGA 1600W T2 with Custom Cables from CableMod
Operating System: Windows 11 iot LTSC

Both systems are connected directly to my Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro Router via Cat8 ethernet cables and they're even set to use the same DNS server and I've tried both Google's DNS server and ClouldFlare's DNS server.
I have 1Gbps for both Upload and Download speeds because I have Fiber Optic internet through my ISP.
I followed the wiki guide to a T for both port forwarding on the router and within windows firewall
this is a completely vanilla server. I ran completely stock settings and even wiped the map for a new save file. no mods. no plugins. I left all settings alone except what needed to be changed for port forwarding.
I also played with some network related settings like ?bRawSockets but nothing helped.

I do use Ark Server Manager but I doubt it's causing this issue.

also the new years event keeps trying to run even though -ActiveEvent=none and the correct timestamps have been set. I also tried to find bDidNewYears1,2 and 3 inside of the save file but it doesn't exist

[iron zinc]

Why does it keep saying connection timeout when i try joining my friend in a non dedicated server

[ruby fox]

anyone used nitrado? if so i set the harvest amount to 5x yet only get 2x stone when i pick it up? anyone know why?

[wise kindle]

The picking up a stone way of checking for boosts unfortunately doesnt work anymore, not like it did in ASE anyway. So you may actually be boosted and not know it.

[dire lantern]

also the server always says
SteamSocketsOpenSource: gethostname failed ()
gethostbyname failed ()
but some people online say this is normal and to ignore it?

[ruby fox]

im using ase rn

[dire lantern]

I found out why and fixed it

the new years event thing that is

desync issue still happening

the server shows up in the in-game list and the steam server list so afaik everything is port forwarded properly

and you can connect to it from either one just fine

connection problems only start when a few dozen turrets are firing at something and it only affects players who have it rendered

[wise kindle]

Yes, the harvesting was changed at the end of ASE. So you will not get accurate results with this method.

[dire lantern]

doesn't it still work if you change each individual harvest rate per material rather than using the overall harvest modifier?

[wise kindle]

Only on maybe classic ark? Not sure.
I just played official for a freaking age and they changed the harvesting - I dont remember the change.
Thereafter, the one stone method was no longer accurate.

[dire lantern]

weird, i remember the changes they made to harvest rates and i had worked around it on my unofficial server to revert the changes (sort of)

[ruby fox]

ah ok. well this damn nitrado server just isnt doing what i want it to do

taken me 2 hours and just refusesto cooperate

[wise kindle]

Is it fully stopped when you change the field?

[ruby fox]

ok so i think ive fixed it. issue is now... my gf is on mac and apparently it doesnt suppoert it anymore

[dire lantern]

even the steam link works for the server (if it's running, don't be surprised if it's not if you click on it although at the time of this message it is running)
"steam://run/346110//+connect 38.212.59.123:27061"
I've had trouble getting this link to work while the game is running but it works just fine if the game is closed.
I miss when it would have just been steam://connect/38.212.59.123:27061 but these old steam connect links no longer work.

[dire lantern]

wdym by classic ark?
ASE?

i've never heard it called that before and if that's what you meant that makes me feel old 🤣

i've been playing ark since 2015

god it's been a decade

with these server issues on ASE tho i might just switch to ASA or give it a try

I feel like everything is setup correctly and idk what else to do, I've been trying to solve this issue for about a week now

I mean I've had ASA since launch and I even have it downloaded but I've never tried running my own server with ASA

I'd really prefer to use ASE until the UE 5.5 engine changes drop at the very least but really I was waiting until Ragnarok releases

I might just make a post about this issue on the forum because it seems so niche, I can't seem to find any information on it whatsoever nor can I find anyone else who's really had this issue or at least posted about it anywhere online

[wise kindle]

Not sure what to tell you tbh.

One day the one stone method changed and was no longer accurate 🤷🏻‍♀️

[dire lantern]

i mean it is what is is

i just want to get my server working at this point

this ain't normal

[jade nebula]

Apparently a stack mod i had was overriding the ini 😅

[pale rover]

is this where I can help?

If so how do I take mods off so I can play normal ark

[swift perch]

for an unofficial server or are you talking about your game?

[pale rover]

my game

[swift perch]

in the mod menu click “uninstall all mods” option, make sure to disable dynamic cometic downloads too,

[pale rover]

alr thank you

[iron zinc]

Why does it keep kicking me out and says connection time out when i join my friends non dedicated server?

[steady furnace]

I can't send pictures of what im doing in here, but in my configuration settings everything works fine, however, the breeding settings aren't changing. Could someone please help me figure out what im doing wrong

[olive talon]

They breeding timers are not retroactive, if that's your issue. They won't apply to tames that have existing timers.

[pseudo glade]

what would be the easiest way to enable boss trophy's transferring across my entire cluster?

[native ore]

Good evening, I have a problem when entering an ARK server, but I get this error and I don't know what to do anymore. I did everything the tutorials said and I even reset the PC to factory settings. "Connection error. You haven been kicked by BattlEye. Reason "client note responding" Help me, I don't know what else to do :(((

[high breach]

when i try to play with my friends 2 things happen (modded ark ascended on ps5) When either me or my friend try to join with like over 33 mods it loads and takes forever and never lets us in, is there a way to make it load fast cause i've sat at a loading screen for like 10 minutes and then it said connection time out. The second thing that happens is whenever I try to invite my friend it will not let me click the invite friends button, I click X but it doesn't show the pop up thing to invite them? Please help so i can play with more mods and actually invite my friends

[amber seal]

I have a big question for mutation stacking 20/20. We all know you use one and only one female to get to 20 on the patrilineal, but could you do the opposite, only one non mutated male. Then could you breed the 20 patrilineal and the 20 matrilineal together to make a super creature with 40 extra stats?.

[lucid solstice]

Um. That's really not the way people usually breed
