How do u normally do it? im playing ASE btw

[mental stag]

Guys, I am looking for game.ini what will be equal to x1 official servers. Can someone help me with this? Thanks

[timid merlin]

Hi guys, is there a way to reduce the outline range for mods like super spyglass plus and awesome spyglass

I read about it somewhere but now I can't seem to find it anymore

[crisp delta]

yall know a good site to buy an ark survival evolved server?
me and 2 friends are looking for a server as cheap as possible

[gaunt sentinel]

Hey guys, i need a favor. My friends server is having some trouble and we was wondering if any of you know how to activate custom cosmetics on Nitrado?

[olive talon]

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

CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL

[gaunt sentinel]

Wait so you need whitelist?

[olive talon]

The line I sent is the whitelist, unless you want only specific custom cosmetics allowed

[gaunt sentinel]

No we just want all custom cosmetics allowed openly

No restrictions

[olive talon]

Then just add that line in

[gaunt sentinel]

Ok thx

[lone raft]

There any mod where you can have the club Ark wheel ? Or something like that

[true karma]

To set up a unofficial server does it have to be done though PC or can you do it off a console?

[zealous jewel]

It’s easier through pc but you can get a nitrado app for Xbox series x I use it sometimes when I can’t be bothered to go to my pc 😂

[gentle niche]

im replacing arks DLSS DLL with the newest version, do i need to do this on client side and server? i can see the DLL files in the server folder too

[gloomy tundra]

I’m new to Ark have a private server and I’m looking for a list of txt commands to change settings in game.ini and gameuser.ini can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you

[celest halo]

You need to edit the files, the wiki has options you can change https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[gloomy tundra]

Ok awesome I’ll go there. Thank you

[gloomy tundra]

Do you know Is there a txt line I can add into any of the ini files that turns off wild Dino’s being able to do damage to players bases? I looked on the wiki but might have over looked it.

[celest halo]

I don't know of any but never looked to see if that could be done

[gloomy tundra]

Ok cool not a problem I’ll keep looking into that. One last question is there any where I can go that already has a list of settings to change for say 5x loot ect. I run dayz servers and there’s a bunch of info jsons ect.. for it but having a hard time finding much for Ark.

[celest halo]

Not that I know of, and not sure if beacon has premade configs (I don't use it) link to it is in pinned messages, a lot of people do use it for making changes to the ini files

[gloomy tundra]

Gotcha thank you

[lone raft]

Someone know how to put aberation dino in the astraeos map in a nitrado server ?

[vestal eagle]

Hey guys, I'd like to add snow owls to my Island map (playing extinction with a buddy on a non-dedi and want to avoid spoilers/progressing without him) any way I can do that? Would really appreciate the help

[elfin forum]

Hey guys, we try to start a private server and have a problem. Is anyone here who can help with the first steps?

[gentle niche]

Do tames and wild creatures go into stasis when not in range? like....can i leave some dinos outside and they'll be safe if i go out, on my own server btw

[tight ivy]

Is my pc powerful enough to run a server and the game at the same time? Specs: i7-8700k gtx 1080 32gb ddr4 ram? I have fiber if that matters but still running off wifi. I want to do a story playthrough with mods and I heard unofficial is way better than singleplayer

[celest halo]

your pc dont even hit recommended to run just the game

[tight ivy]

Oh shit really? Lol I get 50fps on low setting in singleplayer

[olive talon]

Mine didnt either before I upgraded, if you can run it on low you're fine

[mossy cargo]

Add them as replacement

There is a code (it’s been funky though )

Game.ini file

Something like this (this is example )

NPCReplacements = (FromClassName = "Raptor_Character_BP_C", ToClassName = "Kairuku_Character_BP_C").

In game ini I’m unsure if you need to end it the entity entry still though

I replaced Titansaurs with feather lights and replaced pegos too

And made Godzilla spawn less to with that code (obviously the Dino you want has to use its own Id etc )

[river rover]

Anyone know how to help me? I've tried everything I could find online but I still crash as soon as I start ASA..I've reinstalled the ENTIRE GAME including ASE and ASA, cleared my cache, used -dx-11, tried to launch the testing realm, ensured I have the right specs, updated my graphics driver, verified files, deleted ALL my mods but I couldn’t find out how to download an older version but I’m not sure if that would help.

It says this every time:

Attach the debugger now, else press OK to continue.

[edgy phoenix]

Can someone please help me with this one. What does the "Item Dupe Check" setting actually do? It says Enables additional Dupe Protection but there's also a warning about not being compatible with mods. I don't have too many mods, especially none that I think would trigger it, but I don't want to turn it on and have it be a big issue. Sometimes when players transfer server and crash, their inventory doubles, for those of you who have this setting on, does that happen? I don't know why I never had it on, but I want to know what will happen if I switch it on and if anyone else has issues with it removing stuff that it shouldn't.

[olive talon]

Having it on doesn't seem to do anything for anyone that I've seen using it on their clusters tbh. I just left it off for mine, since I use mods.

[edgy phoenix]

Thank you for that, I think I assumed that when I first saw it.

[edgy phoenix]

Is the transferring server, crashing and then getting double loot a common issue?

For other servers I mean.

[olive talon]

Yes, it's ridiculously common

[solid tide]

Happens to me all the time ngl.

[edgy phoenix]

Ok good. We had a bug this week that made everyone crash every time they transferred and some people abused it. Luckily, crashes aren't that common usually.

[jaunty gull]

guys im currently tryna setup a dedicated asa server but i cant seem to find any file that links to harvest settings, taming rates, etc. any idea where one can find these?

[mossy cargo]

What server provider you with ?

If it’s nitardo there’s a tab with the tame multiplier etc

[jaunty gull]

i meant the dedicated server stuff. steamcmd. not nitrado

[mossy cargo]

Oh my bad then have no idea

I’d suggest lookihg on google or something as not sure many are gonna reply currently

[toxic hazel]

These are usually iinside the GameUserSEttings.ini

[last magnet]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration this might be what you want?

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup and this too

[jaunty gull]

i just took the files from my normal ark install pc and put it in the server pc and its working but thanks all. for some reason i cant give myself admin tho

[toxic hazel]

Should just need the admin password set then you can use 'cheat' in front of commands followed by the admin password, or you can setup a admin list for specified people in a text file that do not need to use the password for commands

[jaunty gull]

Would it not be enablecheats adminpassword?

[toxic hazel]

Ah yeah that first hahaha

I forget as i have a list hahaha

Then still need cheat before every command, so like 'cheat fly'

[raven wigeon]

any1 had players loosing theyre chars on ur dedi server??

[serene solstice]

how do i use the volcano map in nitrado?

[olive talon]

Add the mod map through the mod page, select the map from the drop down menu

[serene solstice]

it doesnt show :/

[olive talon]

May have to start the server with the mod map, and then try

[serene solstice]

sent you pm

[serene solstice]

im new to ark hosting please guide me ❤️

[olive talon]

https://server.nitrado.net/en-US/guides/ark-survival-ascended-custom-maps-server-guide

[serene solstice]

does this apply to ASE? I cant run ASA :/

[olive talon]

Ah, sorry I assumed ASA since you didn't specify.
https://server.nitrado.net/en-US/guides/how-to-change-the-map-on-your-ark-survival-evolved-server

[serene solstice]

sorry mama 😦

[olive talon]

No worries, the link i just sent you is the one for Evolved 🙂

[fickle portal]

Does anyone have experience with 4netplayers me and my friends have hosted a server but cant join it (cant even find it)

[serene solstice]

so i went to nitrado add the volcano map in the mod area, and then I started the server but when im trying to join the server using IP it wont let me..

i did view>gameserver>+>add ip. then it says failed to join server.

[olive talon]

You have to give it more than 5 minutes. Stop the server, make the changes, wait 5 minutes at least before starting it. Start the server, give the game listings time to update and for it actively load and be ready, sometimes as few as 5 minutes but you can wait at least 10 to be safe.

[serene solstice]

even tho I only add 1 mod? just to test if the map is running?

[olive talon]

Yes, each time you do any server maintenance this is the preferred method to make changes.

[serene solstice]

so just wait 10 mins?

[olive talon]

Yes

[serene solstice]

im just worried because it says latency failed..

[serene solstice]

while im waiting, is there any good free ASE maps that you could recommend for me and my friends? I am hoping the ones that has good bosses and more challenging i guess.

[olive talon]

This has every mod map available- https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724218471
But if you just want vanilla dlcs, fjordur is a favorite

[serene solstice]

still cant connect @olive talon

[olive talon]

Make sure you have downloaded the mod

[serene solstice]

yes i do have it subscribed

[olive talon]

Restart the server and wait a few minutes and try again, sometimes that works. Its been a while since I've played ase.

[serene solstice]

o wait i found it

so i was able to join in but the map shows theisland ?

is that normal?

[olive talon]

Sounds like you missed a step in the link above.

[serene solstice]

i believe i did it all correctly, server was offline>searched map>copied map id>subcribed it>went to ark panel>went to mods> add mod id under the bar>start server.

[elfin forum]

Hey guy i try to install mods on our server (setup by the description from ark unity). But it doesn't work. Someone here who can help?

[serene solstice]

still shows the island

[serene solstice]

can someone please help me figure things out for xp gain ASE nitrado.

[red belfry]

can someone help me? i cant get any servers to load for evolved or ascended but when i get on my xbox to join a windows server on evolved it has no problem loading.

[iron zinc]

Can someone help me my friend cant join my non dedicated server. He says its saying connection timeout. What do i do?

[trim widget]

Im a bit new to ARK and I want to know what would be some good modifiers to start on. I play on the mobile edition of ARK so I don’t know if I’ll have the same player experience

question im using nitrado for ASE and i slap in the fjordur dino mods and genesis part 2 dino mods and i have ragnarok map. is that how adding mods? or is there something i have to change in the .INI?

Does anyone know if its possible to disable carcha breeding or carchas entirely on asa right now?

_

[last magnet]

NPCReplacements for blocking carchas entirely, and there's not a way to block the breeding specifically w/o a mod. Use NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Carcha_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="") to disable carchas from spawning

[daring lynx]

Is there a way to find the best Mod Load order for a Dedicated Server I'm going to be running?

[verbal arch]

I need help setting up a cluster server on my PC with mods for ASE. Can ANYONE help?

[daring lynx]

How would I get Mods on a Pterodactyl server for ASE?

I have the Mod Ids on the Line, but when I start the server it goes Success. Downloaded item 1565015734 to "/home/container/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/346110/1565015734" (541768897 bytes) ERROR! Failed to start downloading item 0.Unloading Steam API...OK

Im facing the connection timeout issue on my own personal server... any fixes for that?

[last magnet]

sounds like the save went poof. is there backups? When I was playing SP, I'd copy my sav file (ark file) to a different place after each session. no backups means you will have to spawn in replacements/rebuild

[inner vault]

I cant conect to the server i was playing due to message error not enough space to download mods... no mods to download on the server i was

If i'm playing on a unofficial server can i turn off the boss timer?

Like that I have unlimited time in the boss arena?

[normal talon]

Hello, i have an issue updating my steam cmd dedicated server

[ancient cave]

Hey all, was wondering if anyone has any insight to an issue someone the cluster I play on is having. They are on astraeos and anytime they access their inventory or a structures inventory the refreshing ark inventory screen keeps popping up and flashing and then they get timed out. Already had them uninstall and reinstall but it keeps happening

They are playing through steam

[normal talon]

Is there a way to make the Linked Storage Box limit more then 4?

[last magnet]

not without a mod. the Better Steampunk Structures mod has a linked storage box that has a higher limit (10 I think)

[normal talon]

oki and what about updating the steam cmd server

[odd sorrel]

im looking to play with a few friends for a little on non official, ive been looking into hosting my own dedicated server but i dont think my computer would be able to handle the 7 of us

so before i buy a nitrado server for a month i was wondering if theres anything else i should be looking into

on ASA*

[normal talon]

steam cmd

its the only way i know

[odd sorrel]

yeah i just don’t think my computer would be able to effectively run the 7 of us thru cmd is my only concern

[normal talon]

Well you could always try it out. It wasnt hard to set up

[odd sorrel]

do i have to buy ASA on steam or can i run it thru cmd if i own it on gamepass

[normal talon]

Cmd is its own thing

just download it free

[humble thicket]

Are there any servers I can play on that only have dinosaurs and no dragons/fantasy?

[last magnet]

considering wyverns are in the vanilla game, doubtful there'll be a pure dino server. You could look for servers in the server ads channel, though. Possibly there is an overhaul mod that takes the dragons/fantasy creatures out but I'm not sure, since I like dragons so I have like four wyvern/dragon mods on my cluster

[humble thicket]

Dammn

Can't find anything Sadly

There prob is one,just haven't found it yet.

[last magnet]

considering a Dragon is one of the Island bosses, it's going against the lore of the game itself (and the Manticore on SE)

[keen monolith]

Hello, does anyone know how I can fix this, my nephew is trying to download mods so he can join my server, but they won’t all download, it gets to a certain percentage then just stops, he has tried deleting all mods and starting again, downloading them individually but they still won’t download, he left them to download all day yesterday and they still weren’t downloading

[severe breach]

Anyone have any suggestions for server hosts for ASA?

[deft lily]

Is there a way with steamcmd created cluster to run on multiple devices.

[last magnet]

Like 1 map is on 1 machine, 2md map on a different machine? Yes, if you have a shared folder that you can point the cluster data folder at and all of the server maps have the same cluster id

[swift perch]

for ASA can only host on nitrado, they have a contract

[graceful gyro]

does anyone know if its safe to delete the movies folder (\ShooterGame\Content\Movies)? just noticed it's taking up 20gb

update: it seems safe to do so but upon verifying the server files they just get redownloaded :(

[quick gorge]

can anyone tell me where to find my ip for my ark server when using it though steamcmd not a host

[frigid vine]

Yes, its safe. I'm deleting it after every update in my scripts. Never had a issue (instead of having it again and again after a update :D)

[graceful gyro]

glad to hear for sure its safe, that 20gb/server racks up real quick the more ur running

[unkempt dawn]

I play ase and need help with the server settings regarding engrams can someone help me out?

[quick gorge]

who can help me set up a steamcmd ded server i got the stuff needed

[toxic hazel]

ASA or E?

[humble thicket]

E or A?

[severe wadi]

I have a question (sry if its the wrong like spot to write this)

I am trying to imprint and breed dinos but can't imprint them because of time they age too quick while the timer is too long but I don't know where the setting to change it is... Where is that setting? Does it even exist?

(I play single player)

[olive talon]

What did you set your maturation to? If it's higher, lower the baby cuddle interval.

[hollow saddle]

Question about spawning dinos.

How can I customize the level? It always shows me 150

[wise kindle]

Use the admin tab in dododex.com to get custom dino spawn codes.

[hollow saddle]

I will try it

[hollow saddle]

Also one problem please. i am on ps5 and when I switch to my other account to join same server i stay in black screen all the day. How can I solve this ?

[wise kindle]

This is something that is reported alot and most methods that used to solve it, seem to no longer work.

Likely this will be fixed with the 5.5 update, hopefully.

[hollow saddle]

Ughh.. thank you so much.

[icy wadi]

I have a weird issue. Hosting an XBOX compatible ASE server on Windows 10 PC. If I start up the server, we can connect just fine. The next evening when we go to play, nobody can join, from either xbox, or another PC. Once I restart the server (just going back to main menu and rehosting) we're all able to connect just fine again.

On the Hosting PC, I have checked power settings, it's connected via ethernet, so I thought maybe that was going to sleep, but I have set the PC to high performance power setting, and I believe* that I set my USB to not go to sleep.

Any thoughts??

[wise kindle]

Non dedi be like that sometimes. Dedi may work better. Info is in the pins.

[bleak ivy]

are you joining from the friend's list?
if its a non-dedi then yeah, you'll need to restart it. shouldn't need to on a win10 hosted dedicated tho.

Bob bookshelf is breaking craft limits on blueprint so blueprints can be crafted via bookshelf sharing infinite time, any way to fix it?

I know there are people out there that are way smarter than me. I was just wondering if it would be possible to get some assistance with my cluster. I’m trying to expand it to multiple machines.

[ionic cradle]

anyone knows how to make a 25x server for primal fear and eternal settings?

[hexed turret]

why r unofficial servers not working and showing UNKNOWN under maps

[wise kindle]

Because your favorites are messed up.
Unfavorite “UNKNOWN” maps, those are ghosts.

[icy wadi]

Joining through the friends list, but it's run as a dedicated, always on.

[icy wadi]

I'm an amateur here, but I'd think you would just need the matching cluster ID on all of them.

[deft lily]

That is correct, but only in part. Clusters on opposite devices have to have a mutual “cluster” folder that is recognized by both machines to allow transferring between devices/servers.

#unofficial-setup-help hey im haveing trouble finding my server in game can anyone help?

Did you port forward?

[silver wind]

i tried to but i dont know if i did it right

[lucid solstice]

You can use a tool to check

[silver wind]

ok what tool

[acoustic steppe]

I'm going to be hosting an unofficial server soon, what is the best way to check what rates I would want? Start up single player and mess around with the settings by doing admin commands to bring out dinos and such?

[idle oracle]

Check the password protected search on or off

[silver wind]

Yeah I did tyat

[dawn atlas]

Does anyone have experience with ark servers, ive looked everywhere i can online to find a solution but to no avail. I have created a custom xp rate for my server and for somereason even though we have the level cap at 300 for players. we seem to get stuck on level 211 or 212, both me and my friend have different total xp values and ive tried to make the required exp for that level lower than the total xp we have gained we still seem to get stuck on level 211 or for him 212. this is for ASE.

[jade nebula]

what did you use to configure the ini? also are you just not gaining exp after 212 or the levels wont increase regardless of xp

[olive talon]

Are you taking into account the levels that get added with boss fights?

[dawn atlas]

NOt gaining xp regardless of the level once i hit level 211 and my friend hit level 212. i have around 505k xp he has 650k xp and Using Beacon

[olive talon]

You still have to add extra levels for boss fights to be able to get to 300 without the bosses

[dawn atlas]

i belive so, im not sure how many levels are awarded in total for boss fights

[olive talon]

One sec

I'll load up and look

[dawn atlas]

thank you 🙂

[olive talon]

Hopefully discord will let me send this, but these added to your game.ini will allow you to have a player max of level 300 without having the bosses done-

[dawn atlas]

taking a look now 1 minute 🙂

Ill try this now and get back to you if resolves, thank you 🙂

[olive talon]

Good luck

[dawn atlas]

Fixed it tyvery much

You're welcome

[lilac sparrow]

How do I get custom cosmetics to properly show up for everyone on a server?

[vestal roost]

I have a problem, I am a 70 yr old gramma but thats not the problem lol. Problem is that I have tried using Arkasm and also ASA Dedicated Manager to set up a dedicated surver On my PC and it shows up in the server list for ASA but it is faded and i cant get in or my daughter either. Anyone know if that sounds like a port forwarding issue or something else? Please help this old lady 🙂

[olive talon]

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

CosmeticWhitelistOverride=URL

[vestal roost]

Thanks will try that.

[haughty ether]

This never worked for us sadly. 😞

[vestal roost]

Sorry thought that was for me for a sec

[olive talon]

Should, it's worked for everyone that I've seen it shared with

[bleak ivy]

URL should allow all cosmetics to be used. it won't allow dynamic downloads to work since that has to be manually setup within the whitelist. so you'll have to manually download them.

[haughty ether]

Yeah we had to still manually download them when we visited each others bases. Got a little pop up in game to do it.
Also tried the whitelist and still had issues so we’ve given up with them for now.

[haughty ether]

Didn’t for us. 🤷‍♀️

[olive talon]

You will have to manually download them yes, that is not what the URL is for.

[haughty ether]

But yet you answered this person here
#unofficial-setup-help message
by telling them that’s what it was for?
They asked how to get them to show for everyone, you told them to use the URL. 🤔 or maybe I’m reading it wrong, it’s late here. 🙃
So much conflicting information about these cosmetics, hence why we have given up with them.
Except Astraeos cosmetic structure skins, they seem to work perfectly for everyone 😂

[olive talon]

If you don't allow the cosmetics url, none will show up for anyone. They won't work as skins even if downloaded.

[acoustic steppe]

How is everyone fine tuning what rates they enjoy? Just adjust as you play or is there a better way of doing it?

[olive talon]

Personally, yeah just adjusting through play. If you know what official evo rates are like, you can start from there

[cursive lantern]

Can somebody help me plz

[vestal roost]

I have a problem, I am a 70 yr old gramma but that's not the problem lol. Problem is that I have tried using Arkasm and also ASA Dedicated Manager to set up a dedicated server On my PC and it shows up in the server list for ASA but it is faded and I cant get in or my daughter in another state can't either. Anyone on that might know if that sounds like a port forwarding issue or something else? Please help this old lady 🙂

[bitter ice]

QUESTION for anyone who has built a server! my boyfriend is trying to create a server, does ARK server manager support Xbox or cross platform play? if he’s hosting for local player only, does he have to do any port forwarding?

[haughty ether]

That’s what I did. It didn’t work. Nobody could see anyone else’s.

[frosty burrow]

whats the mod id for astraeos map unofficial versin for my own sever

[manic comet]

Does anyone have the Mod Id for the Atraeos DLC? Only found the free version so far

[frosty burrow]

have the paid dlc for astraeos but want to play on my own server can only find free versoin id

[olive talon]

There is not a mod id, it is a dlc.

[olive talon]

There is not a mod id, it is a dlc.

[manic comet]

thanks CountryMama

[olive talon]

It sounds like you either didnt add the line correctly, or need to actively use the whitelist as a whole instead 🤷‍♀️

[haughty ether]

It was added correctly and I tried that also. I’m not the only server owner thats had continuous issues with the cosmetics showing for everyone.
Doesn’t matter anyways. Was just feeding back my experiences.
Thanks for your time. 🙂

[onyx gale]

Does anyone else have players consistently losing inventory items between logins?

For me it's mainly on Extinction and Astraeos.

Players log off, log back in the next day, and random things from their inventory are missing or seemingly "rolled back" to somewhere they had it before. Yet no server rollbacks had occurred, only automated overnight restarts.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what disappears. Just completely random vanishings between logins.

Anyone have any ideas? I get tickets daily on this and it's starting to drive me insane.

how do i decrease the amount of wild dinos that can be in a certain area at once? or how many are spawning? im playing with all the primal fear mods and i feel like theres just too many dinos everywhere

[silver wind]

I cant even get my dang sever to be accessed by others

[west field]

Hello
I am on steam my friends are on epic
I downloaded some mods the deathrecoverymod and the deathinventorykeeper mod they work for me will they work for my friends on epic and is there any procedure?

[limpid garnet]

Strange question, but would an ark server run properly if I switched its ports to the minecraft standard ports?

[olive talon]

No, epic cannot play with mods.

[west field]

There is no possible way?

[olive talon]

No

Third party programs are against the terms of service. Cracking any games will not give you any help.

[west field]

oks my bad

[olive talon]

If you want to play with an epic user, make sure that there are no mods, otherwise there is no way to play together through those 2 platforms

[gray rapids]

do we have any info on what happens to unoffial servers when 5.5 launch?

[olive talon]

Not atm, afaik only this stuff is known

[silver wind]

Can someone help me figure out why Noone outside of my network can get on my sever. can see it when trying to join me but gets latency failed message

[acoustic steppe]

Have you adjusted mod settings in the past? What's the best way of doing that?

[olive talon]

The same way you'd change rates, imo. I'd start a playthrough with like structures plus (cybers structures on asa), and find that I didnt like the sizes or speeds, so I'd just stop the server or edit ingame if available

[hardy marten]

idk about ark server manager but if you are only playing locally on the same network then no you don't need to do any port forwarding

[hardy marten]

if its only outside your network then it sounds like a port forwarding issue or your firewall inbound rules are not set up

[silver wind]

thats what i thought as well but i dont know how to fix it lol

[hardy marten]

as country mama said there is no ID for the DLC all you need is to define the map like the rest of the vanilla maps such as "Astaeos_WP"

[hardy marten]

make sure you're port forwarding to the right IP address and create an inbound rule for your ported range

[silver wind]

can you dm me plz

[little shore]

does anyone have any good breeding/hatching/imprint settings for a singleplayer? im not trying to spend all day sitting there and letting them grow and would prefer balanced but fair times (i dont mind max imprint in one cuddle either and this is for ase)

[vale wagon]

can somebody please help me work my ark survival evolved non dedicated, me and my brother are in the same house and its been hours we still cant work we are both playing on epic games

[swift perch]

non dedicated is singleplayer can use #bobs-with-probs for help, this is for unofficial servers, non dedi is not an unofficial server

[haughty ether]

We had multiple issues with the automated restarts, I manually do them daily now. Servers were constantly rolling back with them enabled. Now I ensure everyone is off and restart them each day at a convenient time , gives me chance to check all mods up to date too.
(If players are online when the server shutsdown and they do not log off, it seems to cause the rollback)

[muted flare]

so, kinda weird question but i've been (on ASE, not ASA) trying to add back the old kibble recipes on ASM but it doesnt work there and if i try to test the recipes on singleplayer it either A: wipes the Game.ini or B: if i put it on read only the recipes just dont work.

Any ideas?

[haughty ether]

The old kibble recipes are not available anymore as far as I’m aware, they were removed from the game when the new kibble system was added…. Many years ago.

[muted flare]

Then why did I find them on ASM? It was like this (Ark Prime) Kibble name

[thorny valve]

hi was just woundering how do i make the caps on weapons and saddles back to official ?

[muted flare]

Use the clamp item stats option

[thorny valve]

hi sorry where would i find that in the files?

[muted flare]

I don't remember where but you can Google it, some ppl have already showed it

[muted flare]

GameUserSettings.ini:
[ServerSettings]
ClampItemStats=True
Game.ini:
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
ItemStatClamps[1]=19800
ItemStatClamps[2]=19800
ItemStatClamps[3]=19800

That should do the trick for both weapons and armor

[haughty ether]

The old kibble still shows up in a lot of places, but you cannot use it anymore as far as I am aware.

[muted flare]

Hm.. alright thanks I'll try something, see if it works. Worst case scenario I gotta make my own plugin or use a mod

[humble orbit]

Any Nitrado promo codes out there to be used??
Also, if I setup pre-pay instead of subscription through nitrado, can I “revive” my server without any progress lost if it’s “shut down” for a month or two?

[onyx gale]

That's interesting 🤔

[haughty ether]

It’s been the same for a lot of server owners I know. The auto restart is a horrible feature imo.

[onyx gale]

I'm curious if there's an alternative while retaining automation/a schedule because I can't watch it and manually do it every day

[hollow saddle]

Here is the problem guys.
My dino swims sooo fast and he flies when i step on water ( ocean ) it’s glitching. How can I fix this in my server ?

Please I couldnt find any solution

[haughty ether]

Not that I’ve found. The issue i found with automatic restarts is players not logging off, that’s what causes the rollbacks.
From my experience of it anyway.

[onyx gale]

You would basically have to have like automated rcon scripts that complete a countdown, then kick everyone at the end of that countdown, then do the restart after everyone's been kicked, I would think. Sounds like something a modder could do

[open robin]

Good morning everyone. I have a question. I use ORP on my server but after turning it off and then back on, I had an issue of items being duped in inventory when traveling between servers. Anyone know how to fix this?

[onyx gale]

Anyone know if there is a command that kicks all players from a server (without stopping it/restarting it)

[maiden obsidian]

Guys, i wanna create a server so that i and my friends can play together. I did exactly what’s on ytb and the wiki and finally made it. I was able to access the server (the game and the server ran on a same device) but my friends couldn’t 😭 I also tried to make the thing port forwarding (my router doesn’t have that but i found port mapping that’s exactly the same as forwarding according to gg) and set up the port 27015. But it’s still not workinggg 😭😭 Help me pls

[muted flare]

yoooooooooooooooooooooo i just made it work

[haughty ether]

Nice. How did you get around it?

I loved the old kibble system. Gave many creatures a use

[muted flare]

the fix was, honestly, stupid and im not sure why that worked. basically i tried putting the overrides in the file, ark would delete them. i put the file on read only, ark said nope and it still didnt work. however when i came back home i decided to remove the read only after i ran the game a few times with the file on read only and this time it didnt delete it and it works. could be that the other times i was quitting to main menu instead of restarting the whole game.

it was on read only until the game open, then i said oh well and removed the read only and it works now lol

would you like a file with the overrides so you dont have to make them yourself? with the old kibble recipes?

[haughty ether]

No it’s ok. I don’t play ASE anymore - but thank you for the offer!
I’m solely an ASA player now 😊
So glad you figured it out though 👊

[placid cloak]

How to create Unofficial server

[austere needle]

can someone explain me from what location does cosmetics gets downloaded if i put some on my structures ? (is the downloadlocation the dedicated server himself) or does they gets downloaded from Curseforge ? (Ark Wiki only says "downloaded on the fly")

[last magnet]

cosmetics are installed client side so you can use them, and they are downloaded from CF for others to see them if they don't have the skin installed

[little shore]

is there any stack mod that i can add after the server is already started without ruining everything (ase)

[olive talon]

HazeStacks was great, has a bunch of configs and enables transfers for items

This is the crash log. And I know passivemods disables the mods I was just grasping at straws lol

I've tried removing mods one at a time to see if there was a specific mod causing the issue but that didn't help. If there are any mods set then it won't launch

If I remove the mods it starts up just fine

I've tried updating the mods client side and copying the files over to the server side folder. Did nothing. Same with the gameusersettings.ini

Also removed the active map mods line in the ini. Nothing

[toxic hazel]

You need to update your amazon certificates

I'll DM you where and which ones

[rare walrus]

Hi,
I’m trying to run a dedicated ARK: Survival Evolved server for Aberration with mods enabled, but no matter what I try, the mods just don’t load. I’ve already tried several fixes and configurations, but nothing seems to work.
What I’ve Done So Far:
Installed ARK Dedicated Server via SteamCMD.

Created a batch file to launch the server with the following command:
start ShooterGameServer.exe "Aberration_P?listen?SessionName=myArkWorld?ServerAdminPassword=adminpass?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015" -modids=731604991,1404697612 -NoBattlEye

Removed all custom Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini overrides temporarily to test basic mod loading.
Verified game files with steamcmd
disabled firewall

The Issue:
The server launches fine and is joinable, but the mod content does not load at all (e.g., S+ items don’t appear in game). It behaves as if no mods are active.
Does anyone know what else I can try or if I’m missing something obvious?
Thanks

[hexed solstice]

If anyone is interested in helping me run a server let me know

Need help with set up

[shy swift]

hello, i would like assistance to correct an error ark who could help me

[astral cloud]

I believe The reason it's not showing that mods are installed is because it's not recognizing the -modids= use just -mods=

[rare walrus]

i have tried that as well 😔

i tried like every flag i could think of

ill try it again just for u

[astral cloud]

And let me know if it works cause I'm having an issue where I can't get My server launched with any mods at all. No mods works just fine and I've tried the -modids= and -activemods= but they both start up just like with no mods set

[rare walrus]

yeah mine launches but it doesnt have any mods

[toxic hazel]

Check you DMs for your fix

[astral cloud]

[north sparrow]

hi, we have on our PvE server allowed auto decay, but its not decaying structures which reach offline limit and have demolish allowed, what we r missing?

[olive talon]

Do you have autodecay allowed for both pve and pvp?

[north sparrow]

DisableDinoDecayPvE=False
DisableStructureDecayPvE=False
PvEStructureDecayDestructionPeriod=2
PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=2
PvEDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=2
PreventOfflinePvP=True
PvPDinoDecay=True
PvPStructureDecay=True

[olive talon]

If both are on, it's probably just ark. iirc the demolish allowed never worked right on ase unofficials either? Just kinda left them there. Someone else might know more, I just know atm that both pve and pvp decays have to be either both on or both off for timers to work correctly.

[north sparrow]

so we have it setted up correctly?

[olive talon]

May need to add
AutoDestroyOldStructuresMultiplier=1

Make sure that
OnlyDecayUnsnappedCoreStructures
Isn't set to true

[north sparrow]

into gus.ini?

[olive talon]

Add it under your decay settings up above^^

[north sparrow]

oki

[olive talon]

You also might need to add -AutoDestroyStructures to your commandline, if you have access to one

[north sparrow]

ok ill add it

we will check it later if it helped, for now thank you so much

[indigo shuttle]

I am getting ready to open a new ASE server and am wondering if anyone has anywhere I can look for all the commands possible and configs possible for ark servers? I've never hosted an ark one before so I have 0 knowledge of anything related to hosting.

Hello Guys

I need help

I’m trying to set up my own ARK server, and I’ve succeeded. Now the problem is that I can’t change any settings no matter what I do. I’ve really tried everything, from editing the files (Game.INI and GameUserSettings.ini) to forcing commands.

Nothing works. I’m trying to adjust the Difficulty and add damage numbers.

I have an Ark Ascended Server.

[celest halo]

Your missing a \ after E: also don't see the listen? in there, pretty sure that was needed for ASE

[lucid walrus]

UPDATE: i got difficulty working, but damagenumbers are not working

[little shore]

where do you put the listen?

Hi guys. Whats the official server settings for:
FishingLootQualityMultiplier=?
SupplyCrateLootQualityMultiplier=?
thx^^

[gentle niche]

I use DLSS/ DLAA for AA and DLSS framegen on the in game options yet when i enter r.FidelityFX.FSR3.QualityMode into the console it shows a setting of 2, why? when i dont even have it enabled? i also notice on my servers GUS file under [Startup] the fsrquality mode says -1, so confused

[charred yew]

Hello guys is there a bug with EggHatcherSpeedMultiplier?

I have tried:
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=20
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=50
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=1000

All give me same time 1h and 39min. I tamed a new dino and tried it. If not working I close server without saving and then tame again but still same time. Only thing I manage to actually change was MatingIntervalMultiplier.

And yes it goes into game.ini file

[last magnet]

EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=5 gives me 10 minutes for a Dodo to hatch and 9 hours and 59 minutes for a Giga. Some species take longer to hatch. You are stopping the server before adjusting settings, correct? It's safer to do that, so you're sure the ini is correct. And having an incubator mod or using lots of air conditioners can affect the length of incubation as well.

I use the Improved Egg Incubator (looking forward to the vanilla one) and it'll incubate wyvern eggs in 30 minutes instead of nearly an hour on my settings

[last magnet]

I believe 1.0, as that's the defaults I've seen in the server config wiki, and eyeballing the dynamic config files for the official flavors

mine is set at 3, and I get good level items and very few water jars lol

but then again I customized my supply drops with good stuff in addition to the vanilla stuff plus improved the chances for items

[oak barn]

im on a non dedicated server and i put my tether distance to 10000

but my friends are still getting teleported me

help please

[vast sedge]

thats a bit high distance

[oak barn]

it used to work until a while ago

i messed with the game file and changed the admin password once

and after that the tether never worked

[vast sedge]

oh that might be a issue

[oak barn]

is there a distance that would let my friends go anywhere on the map without getting teleported into me?

[oak barn]

any fix?

[vast sedge]

not sure

[oak barn]

i already changed it back

but the tether distance never fixed itself

im on evolved btw

[vast sedge]

oh sorry i didnt realize, i just play asa

[oak barn]

im just tryna find a fix lol

[indigo shuttle]

Are ASE servers started on PC cross platform to Xbox players for ASE? If Soo do we do anything to make sure this is possible or will it naturally be cross platform?

[olive talon]

Steam/Epic cannot crossplay with Microsoft/Xbox.

[olive talon]

There is not a fix for a tether or teleporting to each other while in a nondedicated. That is how nondedicated always has been and most likely always will be. If you do not want a tether or people to be teleported, you will have to use a server, whether it is a dedicated/unofficial or joining an official.

[oak barn]

nah i fixed it already lol

its cool

[olive talon]

Teleporting will always be there, regardless of the tether distance

[oak barn]

nah i fixed it

[olive talon]

Okay, regardless, nondedicated isn't going to magically have no tether or teleporting, no amount of fixes will completely remove it.

[oak barn]

its removed enough to where it doesnt bother me anymore atleast

just had to delete the game user files and it reinstalled it on launch

changed it back to what my original settings were and it fixed

[indigo shuttle]

damn well alright.

If i want a more pve type server, but want some forms of pvp to be allowed (aka they agree upon the raids) how would i set this up in the configs?

[indigo shuttle]

Is there a max lvl in ASE where if something gets tamed and its above lets say lvl 400, that itd be deleted? I heard this is a feature for ASA so im wondering if this is true for ASE??

[wanton cloak]

why can't i make my own server

to myself

private

[olive talon]

Shouldn't be enabled on ASE. On ASA, it's defaulted for unofficials to follow officials tame cap at 450. This line can be changed to some crazy number to stop them from being deleted- DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp=5000

[little shore]

does anyone know why an evolved server being ran from a batch file isnt running mods? I have both ?GameModIds=1,2,3 and I have it set to run in the .ini

[onyx vault]

Is there a reason why for the past week that I’ve tried to play ark and I try to open the mod list or server lists it won’t it just tells me the account privileges for user generated content or required

[olive talon]

Not a server setup help question. Account privileges are either updates or gamepass subscription (either expired or if the payment was just received, it can take time for the store to update and allow you to play).

[onyx vault]

Ah ok my bad thanks for the help though

[gaunt berry]

Hi can someone help me get Corrupted Nodules to stack to 1k I can't get it to work.

[pastel osprey]

Hi all,
I have noticed that newly placed beds of any type: Simple, bunk, tek both vanilla and CS versions are no longer acting as spawn points, and on top of that once placed they cannot be picked up, only destroyed. It started off with just the one server Astraeos, but even after copying the config over from a good known working server, I have noticed this is starting on that server now for new beds. Anything previously placed works normally. Any advice would be great

[pastel osprey]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_CorruptedPolymer",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000, bIgnoreMultiplier=true)) should work for you

[gaunt berry]

That's the thing I have that and don't work

[pastel osprey]

Try a lower number first, there may be an upper limit to the game's ability to support that item stack maybe

[gaunt berry]

Ok will try thanks

[pastel osprey]

I generally have my polymers set to 100

[timber stirrup]

does anyone know the blueprint path for the bones that get dropped now. I can't find anything about them anywhere. I'd like to make them tradeable for points in our ark store.

[olive talon]

https://usebeacon.app/Games/ArkSA/Cheats?search=skeleton

[timber stirrup]

Freakin never thought about beacon

[jagged garnet]

the new stuff will be in your world with potential for anything built within those areas to be destroyed or floating etc. You are completely fine to run a world prior to the updates as the sections of the map being added or modified are barriered off so you shouldn't be able to go or build there yet.

[runic yew]

Oh, OK. I thought they were just going to add it over current parts of the map. But if they’re just sectioning off a whole map, then that’s good.

[runic yew]

Last question, do I make the new astraeos world first then transfer my dinos on the other world? Or transfer dinos and survivor first then make the New World?

[flint oasis]

Okay wrote this in the general chat but anyone else having issues with admincheat ForceJoinTribe? It is not allowing me to do it long story as to why it is needed lol

So, I guess I have to tell said story lol Nitrado is garbage and I went back to my personal server. Well, as I said Nitrado is garbage and when I have been removing files from their servers lately, characters have been locked behind something where I cannot get them out. So, I took toons from another map and moved them into the files. Problem is that the characters and tribe still exist technically in the map I have up, and I can go to the house we built with the toons I "imported" and I can steal the other characters items from them... But I cannot force myself into the tribe. its weird ... Again I wrote this in general chat too

[olive talon]

Tried cheat forcejointribe 0 ?

[flint oasis]

Yup lol everything

[flint oasis]

I even tried showmyadminmanager way through I just dont have the tribe id number I am gonna try something real fast tho see if it works Oo

[olive talon]

You're looking at a structure when doing the command?

Have you tried TakeAllDino and TakeAllStrcuture instead?

[flint oasis]

I havent tried that thanks I will look into that now 🙂 But if I take all dinos and structures it moves them to tribe? And I need to be in a tribe? or do the dinos go to my ID? Because I have other peoples dinos here lol

[olive talon]

Make a new tribe with the character, look at your old tribe dinos/structures to use the command. It will grab those dinos/structures and put them into your new tribe. It doesn't do every tame/structure on the map, just the tribe you're looking at.

[flint oasis]

Right right but does it keep them tamed to those people? Or does that move it to my toon?

[olive talon]

It will move them to your character if they are in that tribe, but if this is the case you can also remove the personally owned tribe governance.

Something else you can look into is a missing tribe file (did a bit of googling since this forcejointribe command is a common issue)

Another mention is using "admincheat" instead of just "cheat" but I've never seen that be an issue with those commands

[flint oasis]

Thanks it worked!

[flint oasis]

I forgot to do the tribe first but it still worked out and everyone still kept theirs dinos XD

[olive talon]

As long as it worked haha

[fossil stone]

how on xbox one do i set it up that when people join my srver that they cant spown on me?

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C", ToClassName="") but replace the MgaRaptor with whatever creature you want to block, 1 line per creature

[last magnet]

also place that line(s) in game.ini

I’m trying to get my elevator to work, but it’s not working. It only goes up a few feet and stops. It doesn’t go all the way.

[meager glacier]

Hello everyone, my friend needs some help with setting up a bit easier, but not too OP breeding settings. For reference we don't want for example we want to imprint 3 times on each baby and a total of 3 imprints for completion. Using the Ark Server Manager. Much appreciated!

[flat sable]

Is there a way to make wild dinos spawn over 150? Not including tek. I want higher level spawns

[smoky glen]

The difficulty level. Iirc it being set to 6 makes 180 the max.

[flat sable]

Mine is set to 9 and I still have 150 max.

[smoky glen]

Have you done a wild dino wipe?

[flat sable]

Several

Also have the Dino level mod making it to where high Dinos spawn regularly. I’m new to the whole server hosting thing, so I’ll admit I may have messed it up somewhere, but I am using nitrado.

[smoky glen]

If you remove that mod does it change the levels?

[flat sable]

I am unsure. I can try it.

[nova mist]

Every time I craft the super spyglass plus it doesn't show in my inventory. It just dissappear. How can I solve this?

[inner dirge]

Is it normal for lvls to reset after leaving creative mode? Currently having this issue. I'll level up my characters stats, enter creative mode to assist a player then when I leave creative mode my levels went back to fresh spawn and i have to level up all over again

[flint oasis]

OKay something is wrong in my server lol I can only do certain admin commands. Trying to do admincheat SetBabyAge 1 and Imprintquality 1 but nothing is working. I can do GCm and I put the password in correctly. Help?

And surprise Google doesn't help lol

[inner dirge]

not sure about imprint but with set baby age you don't need to put admin, just cheat

[flint oasis]

1 I always needed to put that and 2 I tried everything lol Nothing is working. I think Nitrado corrupted this file. I moved it from Nitrado to my home server (long story) and I couldnt even force myself into the tribe yesterday or day before someone here helped me with that but this time I cannot do a few commands those are just the recent ones... Its okay though we will reset with Rag in a few weeks anyhow 😉

[inner dirge]

hm weird but alright, good luck though ^^

[flint oasis]

Thanks lol I tried so hard 😭 But we are working around it. The only reason I need those is because I had to pull old characters in since we couldnt get into our old ones. So we robbed the old ones of gear and one of our players wasnt imprinted to his dinos anymore we were but not him XD its an adventure

[inner dirge]

isn't it always XD

[flint oasis]

It is Wildcard after all

[last magnet]

tried cheat SetImprintedPlayer? https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#SetImprintedPlayer

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#TransferImprints also this might be the ticket

(I use PCS for my cryos, and it has a setting to set the imprint to whomever deploys the cryo, so I had no issues with imprint when I was having to recreate my character due to a bug)

[flint oasis]

Yeah my admin codes arent working lol

[regal iris]

Looking for someone with setting up PvE tribe war.
Do admins declare war like inviting a player to tribe.
How long does the war last once declared.

[inner mist]

Whenever I'm setting up my server. It's up but I can't find it on the search bar?

Like I'm checking it on ark

[olive talon]

If it isn't a nitrado server, check show player servers. Make sure you didnt select like console only in the browser

[inner mist]

It's a nitrado server

[olive talon]

Did you give it enough time to finish the setup?

[inner mist]

Yes, just now. Thx you

[sleek nacelle]

Are you looking at the dinos feet? Some dinos don’t register that you’re looking at them when they’re a baby unless you look at their feet.

[inner sedge]

Does anyone know why when I look for a mod to put on my server it doesn't show up on the list? It shows up on the game itself but when I looked to add it on my server no where to be found

[brave jacinth]

GIYSS PLEASE HELP I am trying to host a server but cannot get the port forwarding down I have tired everything made the rules and everything please help

I am on evolved

[brave jacinth]

PLEASE

[static echo]

Guys did unofficial server got added to mobile

[iron bronze]

Does anyone know if there is a way to get more console logs (ASA)? I am building a Discord bot and I am making a currency system but I want to award currency for defeating bosses. Currently when you fight a boss, the server just says that the fight was started for that boss and the difficulty it was at, but does not state who started or completed the boss fight. Just wondering if anyone knew of any plugins or anything that could help??

[sleek loom]

Put the red Bush Berrys(BB) in the red drop at the boss fights. When they kill it, bring the BB to you as a proof of completion token

[iron bronze]

That could work, yea

[flint oasis]

It is broken 😛 I have been doing this a long time and never had this happen to me before lol I believe the files are corrupted ...

[flint oasis]

You have to open the ports in the firewall and in the router itself. the typical ones are 7777 27015 and 7778 27036 🙂 Just make sure you open both sides

[swift island]

ok

[urban pelican]

I have 12 servers that are up and running with no problems. One player went to get on this morning and no unofficial servers are showing up. We helped check all her search settings and everything. Anyone know if there’s a fix or does it require a reinstall

[prime galleon]

Hi guys, I just started on the island a week ago and I'm trying to go to another map. I go to the obelisk upload character. But when I try another map on character creation screen there is nothing there ? Only appears if I go back to the island. Any help please

[sleek nacelle]

Ark is so weird! It works for me perfectly on all my servers. Just used it yesterday. I run very vanilla though no mods.

[viscid linden]

hi question, recently got my server going and a friend of mine wants to join, when he tries to join it says "not enough mod storage space", he has more than enough storage on his drive, any fix to this?

[olive talon]

If they're on console, they likely need to check their mods ingame. Drive storage is not the same as mod storage, which has a 50gb limit for xbox/ms and a 20gb limit for PS at this time

[gentle niche]

Would it best to remove any mods from my server that havent been updated in a while before updating tomorrow?

[humble thicket]

Can I get some help setting up the starter kit mod ?
I have no clue how to even begin

[olive talon]

It's best to do that anyway if the mod creator has stopped working on it

[latent rune]

So I have an interesting issue with self-hosting a dedicated ark server

I have the server installed and it runs, but the server status stays at "ticking loop" after it says "Number of cores"

I cannot figure out why it wont finish loading up and advertise ready for joining

I copied the server files to a different machine on the same network, clicked the startup batch file, and the server loaded up, advertises for join, and status is "Server Ready"

Why would an identical copy of the server work on one machine, but not the other... (both run windows 10)

[bold mason]

Rag is still dropping tomorrow?

[jolly urchin]

Would it be better to shut down my servers till after the update and problems are worked out or leave them running?

[flint oasis]

Did they give a time when the Update will be tomorrow? Or did they move it again lol

[flint oasis]

Usually it works but I had moved my files back to my personal server not on Nitrado which I believe is what screwed it up.

[gentle niche]

Late evening PST

[swift perch]

rag comes june 18th

[steady marlin]

is this the chat id use to ask questions on being able to play with my friends?

[olive talon]

It is for server setup help, pinned messages has nondedicated guides

[flint oasis]

copy

[gaunt berry]

On nitrado is it a good thing to have max ram or standed? Will it improve server performance.

[wise kindle]

That option is only meant for Minecraft servers and will not add any more available ram to your Ark server than it has now.
Also you can confirm this via their support discord.

[cloud olive]

Hello i've downloaded the game from steam on a good pc build and even with a lot of tweaks it keeps crashing even in single-player, its a dx12 problem, how is this possible ? does anyone has the same problem and knows how to fix or i just have to hope for the update?

[pseudo glade]

Whats the pc specs and what graphic settings are you using

[cloud olive]

Ryzen 7 5700X + RTX 4060 + 32GB RAM
Advanced Graphics → Low/Medium
DLSS Balanced
Post-Processing Low or Off
Shadows Medium or Lower

forcing steam to use dx11 seems to fix the crashes but the game runs badly

[tepid berry]

Is this a new PC build? Have you installed all the chipset driver packages that came with the motherboard, etc? (If it's a prebuilt, this should already be done for you)

[cloud olive]

nono its not a new build and others games runs smoothly at high settings, i've tried reinstalling nvidia drivers too but its only with this game

[tepid berry]

Have you tried the Dec 2024 NVidia drivers? Newest drivers gave me hiccups after installing a few times while it was recompiling shaders. Have you tried to play for 30 mins or so to see if it clears up or gets any faster over time?

[cloud olive]

i havent tried the older drivers sincerely, also ive never got over like 5 min of gameplay without crashing so i wont be able to check that

[celest halo]

I wouldn't waste your time troubleshooting it today, and would wait till after the 5.5 update later/tomorrow

[cloud olive]

yea i guess i just have to see, thanks all of you

[tepid berry]

I mean, Stolen has kind of a point as well. Major update today that is supposed to solve a bunch of problems/performance issues

I think this kind of thing also belongs in #bobs-with-probs ; this channel is mostly for setting up servers

[north sparrow]

in the cave on the island map to the artifact of the brute we have found there is on spots toooo much dinos spawning, but we have wild dinos spawn on 0.8, every spot had like 50 wild dinos +3 alpha dinos, any help with this to decrease this spawns?

[exotic cloak]

How do I find my Dino Id I lost my birb

[upbeat pier]

Is it better to create a single-player or a non-dedicated server?

[lucid walrus]

does someone know why i cant change eggincubation speed on my server? nothing works

[exotic cloak]

Nvm I found it

[modest night]

It depends if you want to play with others or not, and if you can afford $25/month per map

[ancient chasm]

is the patch for steam to fix the crash and new map?

[waxen robin]

is the new map hostable on a dedicated machine? or does it require nitrado?

[olive talon]

If you mean Astraeos, either is fine

[waxen robin]

for some reason, when i launch it crashes.

[olive talon]

The server has a crash message?

[waxen robin]

no crash report, just seems to close and restart.

gets through all the mods and everything (ive been hosting the other 5 maps since start, i wouldnt call myself new).

map name is Astraeos_WP?

[olive talon]

Yep thats it

[waxen robin]

no mod ids required?

or active map mod? or anything like that?

[olive talon]

No the DLC map is just the map name, no mod ID

I don't self host though, I use GravelHost, so you might need to wait for someone that does for the just closing issue xd

[waxen robin]

yeah then im not sure. must be a conflict with one of my mods or something. Same setup as all of my other servers.

[olive talon]

Most mods should be fine with it, I use 30ish and they're all good. Server is up to date?

[waxen robin]

yeah. i just updated it to make sure.

i have around 25-30 as well. (all other servers no issues since extinction release)

[last magnet]

I self host. and have the DLC version of Astreos. if it's closing after loading the mods one or more of the mods might have corrupted. or the map file is corrupted. I had that happen with a mod that worked great on one map then had a fit with another map

I'd shut the server down, make a backup of the map file, and disable all mods to test if it boots, then start testing mods 1 by 1. then restore from a good backup. of course not let anyone else on the server while testing so they don't lose progress/things

[waxen robin]

i havent ever gotten it to launch so im going to delete mod and map folder

[last magnet]

gotcha maybe the install got messed up

[waxen robin]

havent even gotten the map to download. map folder empter and mod folder had 1 mod in it. ii see

[last magnet]

ahh that would be why. install got messed up. I'd do a fresh install. are you doing scripts or a manager?

[waxen robin]

mixture. im using WindowsGSM as my manager, but i manually update with scripts because i dont like their update feature. 🙂

[last magnet]

yeeah I tried them, they were a bit fiddly

[waxen robin]

IT WORKED o_o

oof, now i gotta figure out how to impliment it a week before rag fml

[last magnet]

/pats

I haven't even gotten to load into Ab yet

let alone Extinction

mostly bc I was trying to do bosses on Island, my island server borked (I had to remake my character every login) so I went to SE and wiped my Island server. once the update drops, I'm goin to rebuild my base on Island, and get the bosses done then go back to SE and get the Manticore taken care of before I do Ab

[olive talon]

@fossil stone #bobs-with-probs

[celest geyser]

Is there any way to fix the refreshing ark inventory loop bug?

[olive talon]

@uncut bough Stop spamming channels.

[dusty cove]

Where can I got to get help to get on Astraeos, ark is saying I need to pay when I click buy Xbox says I’ve paid

🪳🕷️ well if anyone figures out who I need to get ahold of to get help please let me know I really don’t want to have to ask for my money back but I guess I could for everything I bought (some multiple times same system) then delete the frustrating game there’s a few others that have come out like ark with less issues

[fleet oyster]

It may be desynched, sometimes turning your console completely off and turning it back on helps

[frigid vine]

Hrello 🙂 Is there a chance to get the UE5.5 Upgrade testing before rollout? Like they did in the past with the public_test_realm beta-branch?

Maybe with the DEV Kit ? 🤔

[dusty cove]

I did that 4-5 times, it didn’t work. Thank you I appreciate it I contacted a gamer friend of mine that mainly plays on Xbox and he helped me I was a ps gamer till I couldn’t get ark to work on it an purchased a Xbox x to see if it was ark or my ps. I’ve found that it in most cases it is ark since Xbox has just as many issues as ps5.

[candid tree]

are you able to self host clusters on asa?

[dusty cove]

Yes

[fathom tinsel]

Yes, you can.

[humble thicket]

anybody knows, with this two settings set to 2, PvEStructureDecayPeriodMultiplier=2
AutoDestroyOldStructuresMultiplier=2 will the decay and destruction last twice as long or be half of default?

[pulsar otter]

Anyone having issues with disconnects/restart loop today on unofficial nitrado server?

I looked in restart logs on web browser, and it doesnt appear to have any obvious differences... but am constantly getting disconnected from host, on web browser the server appears to be attempting to update/restart randomly as well.

[spice wyvern]

I would shut it down, wait 5-10 minutes, then try restarting it

Sometimes Nitrado servers get stuck in a restart loop and the best thing to do is a force shut down and wait a few minutes

[latent rune]

Why does my self hosted server load up and run, until it is supposed to advertise for joining.... it does not advertise for joining at all so it doesn't allow any connections to it

It does nothing after the "Number of Cores" and just sits in "Ticking Loop"

[celest halo]

remove ActiveMapMod=0 from GUS

[latent rune]

I searched "ActiveMapMod" in notebad in the GUS.ini and there is no such setting :/

So.. what is going on is, this ark server is on a fresh install of Windows 10 22H2, fully up to date, VC redistributables installed, DirectX SDKs installed but it doesnt work

it DOES work just fine, Server advertises for join, and status is ready, if I put it on my gaming computer and run it... without editing a single setting, and I can then join it with the game

Is there something missing from the fresh windows install that Im just not aware of? :/

[celest halo]

its windows 10 so it should have the certs, they normally only need to be installed on server editions https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup#Windows_Server_editions

[latent rune]

I downloaded the certificate and installed it per the instructions, still nothing :/

[celest halo]

or could be missing the amazon trust certs if using mods #general message

[latent rune]

I have been working on this for 2 days... lol

no mods, vanilla server setup

I just dont understand why it works on my gaming computer, without touching a single setting on the computer, or in the server files

but not on a fresh install on a diff PC

It wouldn't be because the machine Im trying to run it on has 2 processors would it?

[celest halo]

dont know then, every time i have seen console showing Number of Cores as last line was from having ActiveMapMod=0 in GUS

[latent rune]

hmm, I know that setting isnt in the GUS, but what if I added it? lol

I'm desperate at this point, and willing to try anything

[celest halo]

dont know mines in a VM so it dont see the box has 2 cpus, vm only has one cpu set to it

[latent rune]

I tried running it in a VM but got the same result :/

set the VM to have 1 CPU with 8 cores

[lunar cloud]

if the server gets to the Server has completed startup and is now advertising for join. which is after the Number of Cores log entry, then its ready. If its not getting to that point it sounds like a server hardware issue \ performance issue of some sort

[latent rune]

It stops after "Number of Cores" and just sits at "Ticking Loop"

the machine has 32 cores, 64 threads, 128GB of memory, and is running on SSDs

its a HPE DL380 G9 server

[lunar cloud]

Yeah it seems CPU bound to me, 1 core is not enough to run this monster process

you need to give the VM it runs on more cores ?

[celest halo]

he gave it 8 😂

[lunar cloud]

I used to run my instances on cloud VM 4 core (which is vcpu and slower than physical cores) and it took a long time.

[latent rune]

I figured 8 would be enough...

[lunar cloud]

hmmm

[latent rune]

lol

I just want my server to work 😭 lmao

[celest halo]

mine all run fine on 2, so 8 should be more then enough lmao

[lunar cloud]

It's definitely something bottlenecking it .. you running just 1 map instance ? and hows memory looking ?
You should see

Number of cores 8
Server has completed startup and is now advertising for join.

[latent rune]

It doesnt have a problem with the 13900k CPU in my gaming PC with its 24 cores, so that's why i never really considered it an issue

[latent rune]

Im trying to get just The Island up first, it stops at "Number of Cores: 32"

I figured if I can get the main one up and running, then the rest will be easy, lol

and memory is aroung 16GB of 128GB used when its running

[lunar cloud]

Does that server , VM have any antivirus or something blocking outbound connections ? So you can install using steamcmd right ?

Does the VM have full access to the 128GB ?

[latent rune]

The OS has all the windows firewall and defender stuff disabled

which I didnt have to do on my gaming PC, it still fired up on there just fine, it just doesn't like my server for some reason lol

There are no other firewalls or antivirus on the Servers Windows 10 install either

[latent rune]

That VM did, I have Ark server running directly on the physical server hardware now though, since the VM didnt seem to make a difference, so the Ark server has access to the whole machine

[lunar cloud]

when you say "ticking loop", does it just sit on "Number of Cores" message and just hangs there ?

[latent rune]

Yes

after that message it just sits there, ticking loop with yellow status indicator

it did just say "FNetGUIDCache::PeriodicCleanAndCompact:" etc etc etc

I've had this instance running for 18 minutes

[lunar cloud]

yeah mine spews that out too from time to time, seems like ongoing GC collection which i dont think is an issue. the fact that it just hangs there is strange. And that you had it sit there for 18min is unlikely a disk\cpu bottleneck as it would get through and has enough compute. Only last thing i can think of is if its getting stuck trying to register with Epic\Steam (to list it)
I am not sure if the port forwarding is needed during that phase, or if its only needed when someone joins. (im grabbing for straws at this point too 😄 )

[latent rune]

Port forwarding is all setup correctly

when I was running it on my gaming PC, I forwarded it to that system, and I was able to get friends to connect to it

and they could see it in the list, so I must have that part setup lol

[celest halo]

dont need port forwarding to register with Epic thats an outgoing connection

[latent rune]

Well at this point I am so unsure, it just doesnt want to start

its basically throwing a fit and giving me the silent treatment, is how I feel :/ lol

[lunar cloud]

its either a startup or a "registration" issue, the logs dont really give us clarity

[celest halo]

i run mine on linux VMs so not sure whats up with windblows and it

[latent rune]

I may have to run a linux VM to get it going so thats not out of the question if it comes to that, hah

[lunar cloud]

yeah i run it using docker compose on my windows (so it runs as linux container) when i do testing and my actual servers run on a home lab k8s cluster

and startup + registration in proton has been real smooth, no windows certs and weirdness and no win firewall issues too

[latent rune]

I just prefer windows as I am more familiar with the command line and platform, lol

[celest halo]

i prefer linux lol, and ASA runs great with proton, be even better if they gave us linux binaries like they did with ASE

[latent rune]

So if I were to run it in linux... aside from setting it up to get it going, is it otherwise somewhat similar on running the server? I don't want to run it on linux if I dont have to, but at the end of the day I'd like to get it running lol

and what linux distro would you recommend?

[celest halo]

mine are on ubuntu minimal server installs

[latent rune]

Hmm Im somewhat familiar with ubuntu

that wouldn't be too bad to use I suppose

[lunar cloud]

my servers are ubuntu servers , they work nice, my linux containers were CentOS base images for a while , now they're Debian. They ran ASE and ASE perfectly

[latent rune]

after 2 days of dealing with winsucks, ive about had it lol

Well I guess ill get a VM setup and install Ubuntu, and try it this way

can I use the same GUS and Game.ini files that windows uses?

[celest halo]

yeah

[lunar cloud]

Yup, all INIs are the same, and startup commands are also same, you just "wrap" it all in a proton command if you use that

[latent rune]

excellent

Well, I think I'll try it out and see what happens, if it works I'll gladly report back. If you guys happen to think of anything on why Windows would keep it from working as it should in the mean time, I am all ears, because I would like to know why windows is pissing ASA server off lol

[celest halo]

to download proton with steamcmd you need to use a username and password, cant download that with anonymous

[latent rune]

would my regular steam account info be ok?

[celest halo]

yeah

[latent rune]

awesome

[celest halo]

i use my normal steam account to download proton, then use anonymous to download the ASA server lol

[lunar cloud]

You can download proton just using curl .. i have it all automated in a github repo if you want to reference it . marcel-dempers/Ark-docker is the repo, there is a dockerfile in there which has instructions for downloading proton, its a few simple lines, will work on ubuntu server as is
I use anonymous for everything

[latent rune]

I'll check it out once I get the VM up and running with Ubuntu, I appreciate all the help lol

[celest halo]

if you want to download it from github curl works

[hollow saddle]

Guys I got a question.

I am on GameUserSettings.ini

I want to spawn with commands higher level dinos.. like 10K.

Everytime I spawn one it only shows 1531

Please if somebody can help me i will be more than happy, just mention me ❤️

[unique cargo]

im on the windows versions of ASE, some of the maps in the cluster im playing on will let me connect no issue, others say could not retrieve address. I know its not a server issue as my tribemates are on it right now, and i can join those maps on different clusters, any ideas?

[latent rune]

@celest halo @lunar cloud Thank you again for your guys assistance! I was able to get it working on the main server OS, the drivers for the xeon CPUs were not installed (windows was using vanilla ones), it is working perfect now! 😄

[lunar cloud]

omw! good find!

[uncut plume]

Hello I am setting up a new server with 15 people most of them are new, should I follow Smalltribe rate?

[abstract yew]

hi guys i have a question on my server when i use the vanilla cryo storage and leave them in for a while the stats of my dinos get ridiculously high does anyone know why that is happening and how i can change it so it wont and would someone be willing to help me custemize it some some because its my first time running my own so would like to learn some more about it

[abstract yew]

@echo pecan

[echo pecan]

the vanilla cryofridge shouldn’t do anything extra to dinos, having dinos in vanilla cryopods causes them to heal and get xp at a higher rate but there shouldn’t be any stat changes

[abstract yew]

yeah but still when i throw them out they all of a sudden have ridiculous high stats

and i dont know what do do and its annoying as hell

[abstract yew]

so yeah

[echo pecan]

are you using any mods at all? is this in evolved or ascended?

[abstract yew]

ascended and yeah i am using a few mods im using super spyglass/ shiny dinos/ rr tranqs / all the additions ascended ones/ s dino/ custom dino lvls/ admin panel/ gryphons / death recovery / super cryo storage/ der dino finder / eerie dinos / ez stacks /pull it/ better breeding / dino depot/ omega teleporters/ cyrus critters / breedable rhynio/ invaliddinodetector

[abstract yew]

i dont know if any of these mods can cause it?

[echo pecan]

none of them seem to stick out as an issue so i’m not sure, hopefully once other people wake up they’ll be able to help you identify what’s causing it since i’m at a loss

[abstract yew]

i hope so to because its annoying as hell

[tranquil kelp]

does anyone know how to activate the event using ASADedicated Manager?

[vale compass]

add mod manually, I send you message with image

[dry rapids]

can you make one ark cluster where a server is hosted by nitrado and one hosted by your own dedicated server

[toxic hazel]

Yeah but you cant take anything over with you as no shared cluster data folder between the two

[dry rapids]

can you take your character wioth you?

[toxic hazel]

Will be new everything, even character

[dry rapids]

is there a way to allow item travel

[toxic hazel]

Not that I know off

[dry rapids]

sad

me and a friend are starting to host our own server and wanted to host a few for somene that pays for nitrado server so he can pay less but i guess that wont work

[toxic hazel]

You can get the saves from nitrado to run them but thats probably all

[dry rapids]

but no item transfer between nitrado and self hosted

[toxic hazel]

No 😦

[dry rapids]

but i have his se save but when i load that there are none of the structures/bases build on that server do you know how to fix that

[toxic hazel]

The structures modded or vanialla?

[dry rapids]

some people have build asr others vanilla

[toxic hazel]

If you dont boot with the mods stuff is made with they all go poof but vanialla should still be there

[dry rapids]

i have all his mods working and everything

if you want i could show you what happens

[toxic hazel]

Is good, and you replaced the map file for the nitrado one?

[dry rapids]

yes

could i share my screen to you

[toxic hazel]

I have no idea then, any data on that map should be there

[dry rapids]

is is the scorchearth_wp file right??

[toxic hazel]

If its scorched then ya

[dry rapids]

one thing with that the one he send from nitrado is a .ark.gz file but the one mine makes is a .ark

could that be the problem

[toxic hazel]

Yeah

[dry rapids]

i changed his filename to be just .ark but that didnt work

[toxic hazel]

It shouldn't have qz or whatevs, is it a compressed folder?

[dry rapids]

idk how i check

[toxic hazel]

Lel is there a extract option when right clicking it

Ngl never seen gz on the end off a map file so little out me ball park

'The .ark.gz extension on ARK maps from Nitrado indicates that the file is a compressed backup'

You need to extract it

[dry rapids]

just did ill try to put this in there and the boot up

its booting up rn

[toxic hazel]

Oh if the players want to use their OG characters then you need to set the -usestore save method as nitrado uses this i believe

[dry rapids]

in here right

i cant put it in ugh

[toxic hazel]

In your start up command line I believe

Yee that thing xD

[dry rapids]

alr

[abstract yew]

anyone an idea what can cause this?

[dry rapids]

does it matter where?

[toxic hazel]

Couldn't tell you tbh 😦 can probably go anywhere in there

[dry rapids]

alr doe all those random files with player data also store the inventory data

[bold mason]

any bets if the 5.5 update drops today?

[toxic hazel]

Next week it drops

[dry rapids]

nah to early

[toxic hazel]

Oh does it have the player profile files? if it does mine not be using he -usestore method

-usestore makes the map file eat them up

[dry rapids]

no i have separate files

my ark aint seeing my server anymore amazing love you ark

[toxic hazel]

Interesting xD Probably no need the usestore then hahaha, others that have come from there have always had it when i helped out

[dry rapids]

hmm

weird

[toxic hazel]

But player inventory/location etc is stored on the map file either way

[dry rapids]

alr

what is stored in those other files then

[toxic hazel]

Say if you lose you character you can restore one of these if you got a backup

[dry rapids]

aah

[toxic hazel]

Could say its the characters soul and the other stuff is saved on the map

[dry rapids]

my server says advertising for join buttt i cant find it anywhere

[toxic hazel]

Got player server tickeed?

[dry rapids]

yes tried with and without

[toxic hazel]

For self hosted you need it 😉 whats the name?

[dry rapids]

is the-otter-kindom-test

its booting up rn i restarted it

[toxic hazel]

Ahh okok hahah

[dry rapids]

running the steamcmd update command as well before booting

so it will take a min

[compact goblet]

hey guys im tring to migrate my ark server to a differnet PC. I copied all the files from the Saved folder but when i launch the server it makes a fresh day one save. any ideas?

[dry rapids]

@toxic hazel does it show up for you now

[toxic hazel]

Negative, can you try install epic games launcher if you no have that, it gets epic certs etc

[dry rapids]

how i do that

[toxic hazel]

Google epic games launcher, then download it hehehe

No sign in needed

[dry rapids]

just the normal one where you download rocket league and stuff

do i need to restart the server

[toxic hazel]

Probably best

[dry rapids]

do i need to put the -epicip something thingy in the command line

[toxic hazel]

Nope, nothing else, just install

[dry rapids]

alr restarting now

[toxic hazel]

Why not just move the whole lot and try boot it?

[dry rapids]

dodo do you know why ever server works with haveing an alt save directory but it doesnt work for this server it just puts it in saved ark

[compact goblet]

my server pc is halfway around the world and files too big to transfer on google drive

[dry rapids]

set up an ftp server or vm with debian 12 and run openvpn

[toxic hazel]

Ahh I seeee but yeah it should load the map if your straight replacing it

[dry rapids]

works really well

[dry rapids]

i did

[toxic hazel]

That was for Kupo sorry hahah

[dry rapids]

@toxic hazel can you try seeing if it shows

[dry rapids]

ah nw

[toxic hazel]

I see it in the list but not when i manually search for it lol

[dry rapids]

what do you mean in the list

[toxic hazel]

I'll show ya, will send a dm

[balmy briar]

Can anyone tell me how to turn off cave buildimg??

[oak sorrel]

Do anyone know why my friends are timing out when they try to join my dedicated server? I can join it without a problem and my friends are able to see the server on the server list but they get timed out everytime they try to join it

[torn lake]

Someone can help me ? My game crash every time since today when I launch my server on ark evolved

[abstract yew]

does anyone here know why when i put my tames in the vanilla cryo on my server when i throw them out again they have ridiculous high stats all of a sudden

[bright tulip]

GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] AllowCaveBuildingPvE=False or AllowCaveBuildingPvP=False pending if ya doing pve or pvp server should work iirc

[brisk halo]

Can anyone assist? I have a nitrado server that I want to run Survival of the fittest on. I can't seem to get it working properly 😕. I have downloaded the mods and the maps but when I load it up the players are on the ground not in the sky lobby. Everyone is level 1 and can't open drops. Any advice?

[bleak ivy]

are you port-forwarding? ASA shows it regardless but if its not port-fowarded then only people on the same network can join

[fathom tinsel]

Also, are you trying to run more than one server? That can confuse it if you don't have the ports setup right.
It does sound like you need to setup port forwarding though.

[oak sorrel]

Its only one server

[oak sorrel]

I should have put the right ports

[iron bronze]

So how worried is everyone about their servers not being playable for a few days?

[spice wyvern]

Not gonna lie… I’m nervous

[iron bronze]

Yeaaa...same...even if I am gonna back up everything...Still worrying lol

[stiff mantle]

anyone know if there’s a way to join official servers with Xbox from windows pc

[bleak ivy]

this is for unofficial servers help.
PC xbox is blocked on PvP for officials.

[fathom tinsel]

27015, 27016,7777,7778 (tcp/udp)
Also, how are you hosting it? Is it on a dedicated system, is it Windows or Linux? Etc..

Remember, shut down your server and take a proper backup before the event/patch goes live. You may need it later even if they just build a after-the-fact fix if something goes wrong. 😉

[iron bronze]

We use dino depot so that's not gonna be a problem for us thankfully! Unless some of our members are using cryopods...

[oak sorrel]

Its a dedicated one on windows, I haven't put in the 27016. In what order should I put ports? Do I put 7777-7778 in the same one or separate?

[celest halo]

if running ASA you only need the port you set the server to use (default 7777)

[oak sorrel]

It worked to put 27016 as a port so the server is now completely working since im able to join it now by using my phone internet on my xbox. I couldn't join it through my phone internet before

[spice wyvern]

Unless the dino depot mod doesn’t work…

[iron bronze]

It does, they made an announcment about it after Wildcard did ^^

[spice wyvern]

You must be new to Ark and trust in what WC says 🤣🤣 dancing with the devil on that one

[iron bronze]

No lol...the Dino Depot devs made an announcment about the Dinoballs still working regardless of the announcment wildcard made lol

[celest halo]

lol, never had DD delete stuff, WC on the other hand has deleted things a few times

[iron bronze]

Yeaaa...

[oak sorrel]

Now to check if my friends on xbox can join it

[stiff mantle]

my messages too

[spice wyvern]

I’m just assuming the worse is gonna happen because it’s Ark and it’s Wildcard. Nothing ever goes right

[celest halo]

thats why you make backups, so when WC deletes everything in storages again you can reload the backup after they fix it 😂

[spice wyvern]

Backup ain’t going to work since it’s for the system before UE 5.5

Once you update to UE 5.5 I’m pretty sure you can’t go back

[celest halo]

😂 the backup world file will get converted to 5.5 just like its going to do when the update is released

[oak sorrel]

They still aren't able to join, they only get connection timeout

[fathom tinsel]

Sorry, just got back. So you are forwarding all of the ports I suggested? You have confirmed your local IP (for your computer) is correct in the forward rules on your router?

[oak sorrel]

yes

[fathom tinsel]

Want to share the server name? I can attempt to join. I won't create a character since it will break mine on my servers but it would at least let me see if it works.

[oak sorrel]

The server name are PEEBS

Let me send the password to it in dm

[oak sorrel]

Sent the password in dm

[fathom tinsel]

Ill respond in DM. It's got to be a port issue. I downloaded/updated 9 mods but timed out.

[oak sorrel]

oki

[celest halo]

i bet its a cgnat issue and not a port one

[fathom tinsel]

That is also possible... Going to need to look at that. I have not had to deal with cgnat stuff much.

[celest halo]

there is no port forwarding with cgnat

[fathom tinsel]

If anyone else has suggestions we are all ears.
Disabled/removed other adapters, confirmed port forwarding settings, etc.

[earnest socket]

Good evening everybody I hope all is well just wondering would anybody happen to know how to make it to where all you have to do is put in one point to unlock all in engrams? on my Xbox unofficial server I currently have the code..
bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true
It works but doesn't work I have to manually go through and unlock the engrams in my character menu.. it cost 0 points to do so but I have to do it individually..

[feral copper]

Which map version of astraeos do i use for a server the (DLC) or (Mod Map)?

[wise kindle]

DLC
the mod map is busted

[feral copper]

Ok thanks, should the custom map name still be "Astraeos_WP"

[wise kindle]

No custom map. Its a dlc so it will show up in the dropdown menu on Nitrado.

[feral copper]

Ok thank you again for your time and help

[iron bronze]

Well, I give up...to bed with me and maybe it will have dropped when I awaken...goodnight and good luck all!

[solid tide]

do you have access to beacon?

[earnest socket]

@solid tide yes

[solid tide]

go to the engram control thingy, at the top above the engram list itll say "auto control" or something to that effect. click that, then in the drop down, select while one you want.

[earnest socket]

@solid tide I am just more or less looking for the code that I put in my ini file.. to make it where you do not have to physically unlock all the engrams through the player menu..

[bleak ivy]

that should auto learn all engrams when you level up

[solid tide]

yeah that should do it. The code you entered just makes it cost nothing

at least thats how its always worked for me

[bleak ivy]

try mind wiping. it definitely auto learns for me.
there are pastebins if you want to do each one manually tho

[solid tide]

the one drop down on beacon solves it quick, but yeah you do have to mind wipe

[bleak ivy]

most pastebins are old tho. so it won't have the new stuff especially for new ASA stuff like bobs.

[earnest socket]

@solid tide I do not program my server through that method I only use that to adjust my loot drops. That will mess up my ini file and everything else if I did that.. unless I can get the code from there to put into my ini file..

[bleak ivy]

where are you putting bAutoUnlockAllEngrams?

[earnest socket]

Gameusers

[bleak ivy]

it goes in game

[earnest socket]

@bleak ivy gameuser file

[solid tide]

you can import your existing config and then when you export itll let you copy and paste both file inputs you need so you dont have to search for each line

[bleak ivy]

that'd be why its not working

[solid tide]

this

[earnest socket]

@bleak ivy so I got to switch it to the ini?

[solid tide]

game.ini yes

[earnest socket]

@solid tide ok thanks

[oak sorrel]

Could someone help me check if my server are available by trying to join it?

[half magnet]

Wildcard es un pendejo

[tranquil jewel]

I need help, i recently got Ark on my ps5 and today randomly it has auto learned all engrams even ones that I am not on the level of. I’m at level 16 and can craft tek. What do i do?

[cursive blaze]

Hey anyone willing to create a small server of limited members.. i m willing to join.. add me pls

[pliant pagoda]

Hey, all. Friend's hosting ascended on xbox, I'm on pc game pass, used to be able to play together but now whenever I try to join his game, I get a stuttering loading screen then kicked back to Main Menu. Any ideas?

[iron bronze]

I would suggest waiting until the 5.5 update and then see if the issue still happenes. If it does, ask someone, but this channel is for unofficial server help ^^

[pliant pagoda]

It's not official, though, is it? Not trying to argue, just wanna understand why it's considered official if it's my buddy hosting?

[spark citrus]

so what they mean is that this channel is for server help not client crashes or disconnects you're better off asking in #bobs-with-probs

[iron bronze]

Yea, what they said 👆

sorry, I should have explained more lol

It's a game issue and not a server issue basically

[pliant pagoda]

No worries, that makes sense. Thanks anyway! It seems to be a mod issue, by the way, just so you know. Seems that certain mods may not be crossplay, so they end up corrupting our save and I can no longer play that save.

[toxic hazel]

Correct, crossplay mods are usually labelled as crossplay

[abstract yew]

anyone know why my dinos get ridiculous high stats while in the vanilla cryopods for a while?

[spring berry]

does adding club ark to a server replace my current map or does it add the option to travel there within the menu then travel back to my server

[iron bronze]

Club ark needs to be on it's own server, so it's like it's own map basically. You can't have the club ark mod on say your Island server and be able to play on both.

[spring berry]

okay so if i host a separate server i basically have to cluster it with my current one

[iron bronze]

Yea ^^

[spring berry]

okay bet

i’ve thought that due to the size but just looking at the curseforge page isn’t very informative

[rocky kraken]

Any update on when 5.5 will drop?

[iron bronze]

Nothing yet...but it "should" hopefully be "soon"

[celest halo]

Sometime between now and the 18th 🤣

[rocky kraken]

Well I guess we're up for another gamebreaking pre-weekend release then 😄

[iron bronze]

It will be soon lol

I have faith

[dry badge]

is there a way to transfer club ark items from one server to my own server?

[iron bronze]

They should be waiting for you in the terminal when you go back to your regular server, as long as you have clustered the two together

[dry badge]

we have the downloads thing turned on in nitrado settings but nothing is showing up. does the map have to be connected to our specific server? 😂

[iron bronze]

Yes, it does. I don't know how to cluster them on Nitrado tho. Maybe someone else here can help you with it or you can reach out to Nitrado ^^

[dry badge]

that’s all i needed to know ty! we know how to cluster them. just didn’t know if it worked that way or not 😂

[winter ferry]

Cani

[iron bronze]

So, that means that we can update our servers when we are able, but xbox players just wont be able to find the servers until they get the update, right?

[regal iris]

Anyone know which pieces are standalone engrams and which building pieces are within a current one as variants.

[latent rune]

Well... I guess I should have read that before starting...: "We highly recommend not updating your mods on your client or your servers until we have released the 5.5 patch."

[tepid berry]

I don't get this, because the servers auto-update and handle all of that stuff. I don't know of a way to not update your mods.

[latent rune]

I'm sure something negative will happen, lol

[tepid berry]

Maybe for xbox players who don't pull their servers down until Thurs?

[latent rune]

Maybe

[spark citrus]

I think that's what they mean cause otherwise it doesn't make sense

[pulsar otter]

Should we bring down nitrado servers until 5.5 is out?

[humble thicket]

whats the Birthday event mod number?

[spark citrus]

there isnt one, launch command ActiveEvent=Birthday

[wise kindle]

Advisable yes.

[late breach]

hello, dunno if this is the right place to ask

how do i make my non dedicated server's wild dinos to a higher level

i think by increasing difficulty level but any idea if i increase difficulty level what else should i increase so the gameplay is the same just higher level dinos

[humble thicket]

search for this in your gus.ini
DifficultyOffset=1
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5

change number to 1 and 5 if they are not 1 and 5

always shut down before changing, than start after you save the file

[iron bronze]

Should we just bring down all servers until xbox get their update?

[late breach]

got it

thank u

[wise kindle]

Advisable, yes

[latent rune]

So are the steam updates out then?

Just not xbox? lol

[iron bronze]

Apparently its gonna be out for everyone now 🎉

[hasty notch]

Where does this command go?

[latent rune]

I think it goes in your batch file

or game.ini or gameusersettings.ini

idk lol

[spark citrus]

yeah batch file

[iron bronze]

Can someone let me know when servers are updating please? ^^

[hasty notch]

Thanks so just add it to the Game ini wasn't sure as they didn't say much

[quasi minnow]

Can someone explain in easy terms how to put the birthday event on to my Nitrado server? It says command line but what is that?

[spark citrus]

i think for nitrado theres a dropdown and not a command

the instructions are on the crunch they announced the event btw

[wise kindle]

This is correct. But it will not be available until after Nitrado servers are updated.

[quasi minnow]

Thank you both.

[heady hill]

How to boost a boss only on Nitrado without touching wild dinos ?

[void vapor]

You can touch the game.ini to modify, for example, the damage, life and resistance of the boss(es) you prefer.

[heady hill]

Do you have the command for Broodmother, for example?

[wise kindle]

Might want to look into Beacon or you can find the codes on the ark.wiki.gg server configuation pages

[void vapor]

For example: [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_C", Multiplier=2.0)
DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_C", Multiplier=0.5)
DinoClassHealthMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_C", Multiplier=3.0)

[void vapor]

What does each line do?
DinoClassDamageMultipliers: Increases the damage the Broodmother deals. (In this case, by 200%).

DinoClassResistanceMultipliers: Decreases the damage she takes. (In this case, she takes half the damage, or double her resistance.)

DinoClassHealthMultipliers: Increases her maximum health.

I hope that information helps you

[heady hill]

Yes thanks

[void vapor]

Remember to assign the difficulty of the boss in the name, that is, if it is beta, gamma or alpha.

[wooden canyon]

Does anyone know if there is a setting to enable that will make oil pumps and other things still produce oil if they are out of render distance?

[spark citrus]

they should produce as long as the server is online, resources get deleted if you take the server offline

[wooden canyon]

I put up 3 oil pumps last night before i went to bed and the server was running but when i checked them now they only had 145 oil in them

[sullen sparrow]

How do we set up the launch command on Nitrado?

[humble thicket]

you dont. they have a dashboard you can choose which event you wanna run

[sullen sparrow]

The birthday event isn't on their drop down menu

[hushed topaz]

With which code can I increase the structure decay beyond the standard setting? And where do I need to enter that?

[humble thicket]

yet*. they will probably add it when the official servers are done

[sullen sparrow]

You know what.... Yeah. I'm a dunce. I'm trying to make changes in advance of the update rolling out. Thanks for the bonk on the head

[humble thicket]

how dare you

[sullen sparrow]

What can I say.... Patience is for new Bobs

[humble thicket]

i respect that, but we dont do that here 😛

[sweet stump]

any1 know when update?

[celest halo]

#announcements message my guess is not till official network returns

[austere stump]

I just want to know if the PS5 mod space is increased yet. If not. When

Sorry wrong chat

[sweet stump]

alr

[abstract yew]

what do i need to do with my nitrado server when the update hits does it update automaticly or do i need to do that myself or do i just restart the server

[wise kindle]

To update a Nitrado server you stop the server for 15 minutes and start it up again. This guarantees it will pickup the update.
Note that the update is not out yet and wont be out for another hour.

[abstract yew]

alright if i just stop it now it should do the update on its own?

sorry for the stupid questions its my first time owning a nitrado server

[spark citrus]

itll update once you restart it after the patch is out, but from my experience unofficials get the patch a bit later than official servers

[harsh forge]

Just a reminder, make your backups now!

[tepid berry]

That's never been the case for me. I always have my servers back online and updated before officials come back up

[spark citrus]

i run mine through steam cmd so that might be why

[tepid berry]

me too

[spark citrus]

but i alwyas have to wait because steam cmd doesnt get the update right away

the steam client gets it normally but for some reason steamcmd doesnt idk

[tepid berry]

SteamCMD gets the update as soon as they push it

[spark citrus]

right, like i said for ME this is the case

[tepid berry]

Should be the case for everyone. Problem is that they've forgotten to push the update for dedi server sometimes

[harsh forge]

Right. Sometimes unofficial gets the update some time after official.

[spark citrus]

yeah this guy says it doesn't lol

[tepid berry]

For the past 15 or so server updates, I've had unofficial servers up, with the patch, before official came back online

They usually push as soon as official servers go down

[harsh forge]

It does happen. We've had situations where I just turned our servers off because the client was updated, but the unofficial server branch was not.

But it has been better lately.

[tepid berry]

They haven't been "late" on SteamCMD update push for like 6 months at least

[harsh forge]

Yea, it's been much bettter lately

[abstract yew]

i dont even know how to do that mate

[harsh forge]

Take a copy of the entire Saved folder

that's the easiest way

[celest halo]

If you call skipping version to unofficial that officials got as not being late with an update 🤣

[worthy finch]

I lost my character on both PS5 and PC on the same cluster (Ran by me) a few months ago, and will be following the pinned message about the command lines. If revert my save back to before I lost my character will it get my characters back or will I still need to make a new one?

[iron bronze]

Provided you have the right saves, yea, I don't see why it wouldn't

[worthy finch]

The right saves as in before it went belly up?

[iron bronze]

Yea, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were corrupt by the sounds of it...try them but be prepared to make new characters

[spark citrus]

yeah usually when chars are lost is because the arktribe file gets corrupted

[tepid berry]

Are you using the -usestore on your dedicated server? or is this nitrado or something?

[worthy finch]

Yeah I already did that, but I haven't played since. If I get back into it then I figure I may as well try and get my old one back

[worthy finch]

No I'm not using it, that's I think what I'm gonna be doing once I get the servers back next week, I'm just very unfamiliar with command lines

[tepid berry]

Yea, definitely do. I haven't had anyone lose a character in 8 months or so since swapping over to the new store method

-usestore -converttostore and -backupplayersavedatas

Converttostore can be removed after the server has been run once - that causes it to import the old data into the new save file

But then all player data becomes part of the main world save, and people losing characters will basically go away.

[worthy finch]

Until then I hadn't had any problems like this either, but I didn't know these commands were a thing until a few weeks ago otherwise I'd have put them in

I wish I had the desire to learn the working of the servers but I do the bare minimum since 95% of the time it's only me playing the servers

But that's why they're there, for me to play and a couple friends to occasionally join

[tepid berry]

Honestly it's worth doing if only to save money

I'm hosting a cluster of 9 maps for 60+ people and it costs me nothing.

Except the like, $400 computer I built for it 9 months ago - which I really didn't NEED to do
