[gentle sail]

so what do us unoffical servers need to do with this update? do we need to do a update on our end?

[tender ravine]

is there a way to set up a private server for free for me and my wife to play on?

[abstract yew]

U mean as a owner?

[gentle sail]

Yes

[abstract yew]

Thats what i asked to

[olive talon]

Check pinned messages.

[gentle sail]

How?

[abstract yew]

I know a way to do it

[gentle sail]

Okay but what am I looking for xD

[tender ravine]

does it save our progress since it isnt dedicated? or would we need to restart everytime we wanted to play together?

[raw stirrup]

Do we just restart the server on nitrado to get it to update ?

[olive talon]

There are several pins for playing without renting. You can either play nondedicated (not recommended as it's buggy), or you can use your own hardware for free to make a dedicated.

[olive talon]

When it is time, yes

[raw stirrup]

Thank you

[tender ravine]

oh cool thank you!

[worthy finch]

I've had servers for years with Nitrado but I honestly sometimes wonder why I bother. Nothing but problems. Do you run all 9 maps off that one computer?

[latent rune]

I run all the ark maps off of my one server

uses a bit of ram, but the server has plenty

[broken halo]

I've got 11 maps running off 1 it's a pretty strong learning curve but once you get it ironed out it's pretty straight forward

[broken halo]

True facts there 😆

[latent rune]

as thinking about upping server ram to 256GB

I have a few other games I want to host as well, ark taking up most of the ram, lool

[broken halo]

I'm at 256 it runs pretty solid

I thought about doubling down my self

[latent rune]

Can never have enough ram, lol

[broken halo]

My thoughts exactly

Hey I just jumped in to see if unofficial update hit steam yet I'm not at pc to check

[latent rune]

Not sure

I don't thiiiink so because I just tried to update and nothing as of yet

[celest halo]

Nope, the client update has

Server update has not

[broken halo]

Thanks

[celest halo]

Server update just hit steam

[broken halo]

I've gotten so used to delays on this game I'm like oblivious now lol

[celest halo]

ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server (2430930:public) - Released: <t:1749145770:f>

[opal osprey]

Ark: Survival Delayed

[tepid berry]

Update pushed

SteamCMD is downloading v66

[abstract yew]

do i just restart my servers right now?

[broken halo]

Holy crap I jumped in just as it started 😳

[broken halo]

Update first unless you enabled update on start

[abstract yew]

i dont have the uption to update yet on the webinterface of my nitrado servers

[celest halo]

Nitardo might not have it yet

[broken halo]

Sorry I'm no help for nitardo

[opal osprey]

its downloading to all my locally hosted servers now

[broken halo]

Lol someone else calls it that

[celest halo]

My phone auto corrects to that 🤣

[opal osprey]

got a steam client update too, so looks like that got pushed

only 117gb 😄

[abstract yew]

for me the updates around 128.2

[last rose]

This is my first update on my unofficial server. It is through Nitrado. Is there anything special I need to do?

[abstract yew]

thats what i wanna know to

[willow crystal]

its hanging on 99,85% while patching?

[broken halo]

Shouldn't be

[broken halo]

That could be do to mod updates

[silver goblet]

Do I need to update mods before start server again? Not sure how to do that

[willow crystal]

ok

[reef coral]

just reboot server it will update

[broken halo]

You getting the incompatible mod message too

[last rose]

Thank you

[reef coral]

not yet but indeed hanging on 99 atm

Update state (0x61) downloading, progress: 99.98 (10845382693 / 10847479845)

a 99,99 now so there's progress

[broken halo]

It can be slow just about everything with WC is lol

[abstract yew]

how do we know that the update is ready on nitrado?

[worthy finch]

When it says "Command lines" does it mean the ini files or something else?

[reef coral]

if you reboot

but indeed mods aint working

[celest halo]

Join there discord probably the best way

[abstract yew]

i meant for my own servers

[abstract yew]

is there a server for nitrado server owners?

[spice wyvern]

Can someone send the command line to activate the birthday event and where to input it on unofficial server?

[olive talon]

#patch-notes has it

[iron bronze]

It means command lines as in start up command lines. I don't really know how to explain it properly so maybe someone else can help??

[spice wyvern]

It wasn’t very clear… like do I type admincheat in front of it?

[iron bronze]

How is everyone's servers doing? Anything broken?? Sky falling down? Fire and brimstone????

[olive talon]

It is a command line, not an admin cheat.

[spice wyvern]

I’m a newer Nitrado owner that’s why I ask

[olive talon]

If you're on Nitrado, you dont use commandlines

[olive talon]

you'd need to wait for nitrado to update servers and add it to the drop down menu

[abstract yew]

start them up because i did it and they are updating right now

[spice wyvern]

I have it on official event colors right now

[abstract yew]

is it okay if i message u privately?

[spice wyvern]

Yes

[olive talon]

Ah okay I wasn't sure if Notrado has updated already as I no longer use them

[frigid vine]

plugin NIS failed to load resource module NISShader could not be found
anyone else gets this error when starting vanilla server?

comes from UE engine

[onyx gale]

Does -Activeevent=birthday go in GUS.ini or Game.ini ?

[abstract yew]

i just gambled on it and now they update so it could have gone both ways hahah

[spark citrus]

your batch file

[olive talon]

😂 I guess that works

[olive talon]

If you're using Nitrado, it should be in the event drop down menu.

[onyx gale]

Oh gotcha, thank you

[digital obsidian]

We are getting Plugin 'NIS' failed to load because 'NISShaders' could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.

[frigid vine]

Exactly this. So looks like there is something missing in the recent update.

[sweet rapids]

is there a mod for aniversary event or is it built in the update?

[frigid vine]

h__ps://forums.unrealengine.com/t/plugin-x-failed-to-load-because-module-x-could-not-be-found/420852/3

Looks like nothing what we can fix on our side /cc @zealous aurora

[harsh forge]

This is built in. Just add the flag!

Hrmm.. NIS... Nitrado is .... Super?

[jaunty galleon]

Just a heads up for you unofficial folks but global stack sizes are broken and will only affect things that shouldn't stack and causes those to stack instead such as cryopods fert eggs etc

[harsh forge]

Thanks for the warning!

[onyx gale]

Would it just be Official Event Colors because I'm not seeing any birthday options in any of the dropdown tables...

[olive talon]

The update should be rolling out to all servers, sometimes it can take a bit longer. The Nitrado discord would be more helpful for this, in terms of knowing where to put events and when you're getting the updates

[frigid vine]

tried it on fresh installation, seems working. Maybe the update just fails in our case? Did you validate already?

[digital obsidian]

Yes

[onyx gale]

Ok, thanks again

[graceful gyro]

all my maps are running except club ark, getting an exception access violation error

[fathom tinsel]

Wow, about 130gb patch.

[lost valley]

have you found a fix? im having the exact same issue. Birthday is not in the drop down box

[frigid vine]

does it work for you? for me not.

[digital obsidian]

No

[fathom tinsel]

Mine is downloading. Just stared it. It could be regional.
I am somewhere near the middle of the USA.

[frail crescent]

has anyone else loaded into the freshly updated server and suddenly getting spammed with learning engrams?

[iron bronze]

Yep, that happened to me too

[onyx gale]

I went to the Nitrado discord and made a post in the ark-help channel. I was advised to wait until Birthday appears in the dropdown. Sounds like that would be indicative that the update was pushed, received, and is available for the server.

[lost valley]

massive thankyou!

[abstract yew]

one of my two servers got updated and the other one that i started before the one that has finished is still not done with updating

[frail crescent]

Fertilized eggs are stacking now what?????

[onyx gale]

The ones that updated - do they show a Birthday option in the Nitrado UI?

[candid veldt]

Any specific map that's happening on? I've updated Scorched Earth fine so far?

[devout rampart]

Club ark mod Is incompatible with new version. Any ETA for the mod update? Because i have the whole power on chain blocked by this error message

[abstract yew]

where should that be?

[flint oasis]

So I am gettting a no machine error right now.... is that normal? Thanks

[onyx gale]

Under Events where you can select Event colors and such

[digital obsidian]

Only tried our test server so far, it has a copy of our Island server

[abstract yew]

no it still says summer bash so it did not update?

[spice wyvern]

Birthday is not there

[onyx gale]

Im not sure thats what Im trying to understand myself lol. They made it sound like a Birthday option appearing would indicate its ready to update but it sounds like you guys have successfully updated servers that so not show the option...

[abstract yew]

asked on the nitrado discord and the birthday thing is not yet on the interface but it will be or something

[olive talon]

Again, servers need to update

[spice wyvern]

Correct. I’m on 66.31 and have options for Easter, Pride, Olympic. Halloween, and official event colors

[flint oasis]

Error "No Machine ID Found" to be exact

[abstract yew]

the interface needs to be updated by nitrado i think

[olive talon]

.

[flint oasis]

My dedicated updated but it isnt finding mahcine or some shit

[wise kindle]

Nitrado interface will update and show the Birthday option, just need to wait for that.

[silver goblet]

My servers been stuck on update for nearly an hour should I just wait

[abstract yew]

i think we just need to wait it out thers not much more we can do also nitrado needs to update the interface and such

[olive talon]

Yes, just be patient

[flint oasis]

My home server has the no machine id thingy is that becasue they havent updated servers yet?

[olive talon]

Likely yes. Updates take time to reach each server, so just give it a bit

[flint oasis]

Okay cool lol cuz im like I should be able to since I use my laptop for a server but nope 😄

[gleaming marsh]

whats the magic trick to re-download the DLC map center?
i 'accept' the goto store to install it (steam) but then when at steam it just sends me to the game menus?

i seem to be in some sort of loop

[glad pumice]

Do we manually need to activate event, if so how

[iron bronze]

Okay, so the issues I am having in my servers are:

• Character seems to auto unlock all engrams after loading in
• I can't seem to find any wild dinos at all
• I have been getting some form of silent crashes (but that might be a me thing)

I'm sadly gonna have to restore my backups and keep the servers down until a fix rolls out

[flint oasis]

When I run it there is a red error code "No Machine ID Found"

Windows and it rolls through the command window when I open the bat file. It is BRIGHT red lol cant miss it

[vast badger]

"Server Unreachable" line appears after that

then it closes

id just wait

[flint oasis]

Yeah basically

[iron bronze]

This is happening to my server now too actully...

[hushed topaz]

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

[vast badger]

yeah worked a few mins ago i think its just down

[white garnet]

same here

[iron bronze]

Ah

[vast badger]

same stuff im getting

[vast badger]

unfortunate, probably from everyone updating their mods on client and server

[iron bronze]

Yea, was just thinking that

[gleaming marsh]

thx. just to confirm. Center Ascended DLC is not ready for download yet? and we will know its ready for download when the size appears under 'manage DLC' on steam?

[willow crystal]

curseforge down i think?

[smoky glen]

Either down or really slow rn with all the traffic

[upper anchor]

Anyone elses nitrado server stuck in a restart loop?

[white garnet]

is there a curseforge admin we can ping? dunno how it works to notify them of problems

[willow crystal]

yop we need to wait... :/

[smoky glen]

I self host but it's looping rn for me and others in here. If you scroll up a bit you'll see it. Prob gotta wait. I already verified my certs are fine in case tho cause that fixed it last time for me.

[onyx gale]

Thank you for the info. So Server may update and still not show Birthday.

[upper anchor]

Oh, yea. CF is down.

[abstract yew]

my nitrado server has been in the updating screen for about an hour now

[lost valley]

same. im not even sure its updating

[abstract yew]

it probably is

we just need to wait and learn to have patience

[stable stone]

Yes. Nitrado here. Both servers flapping and attempting to install something each time.

[abstract yew]

but if it takes to long im switching over to my own dedi server because im getting done with nitrado

[scarlet stone]

thank you, I was worried why lmao

[quasi pagoda]

well just fyi dedicated is not working rn either because cf api is down

[flint oasis]

I guess they fucked up the DEdi?

[abstract yew]

ive had them before my nitrado servers

[iron bronze]

Looks like one of my servers is starting now...wanna see if that engram thing happens again

[abstract yew]

but i host them on my everyday use pc but i dont wanna leave it on all the time

[vast badger]

same here

[flint oasis]

So no one else is having this issue I am guessing?

[candid veldt]

ItemStackSizeMultiplier is bugged. Cryopod stacks are increased to that amount, and allows players to dupe dinos...

[flint oasis]

Oh okay curseforge being an ass got it

[abstract yew]

yeah im eventually just gonna build a homeserver and host it from there

[smoky glen]

Definitely recommend. You have a lot more control that way too

[vast badger]

i host and play from the same computer might not be the best for everyone but it works

[flint oasis]

Thanks fo rthe info guys

[bleak ivy]

I just use an old PC. doesn't change anything control wise

[hallow scaffold]

if you have admin panel mod on your server DONT use it. it's cooked and crashes the whole server

[haughty badger]

if and when you do get in, cryopods are super messed up. they are stacking now. This is allowing the loss of creatures, and/or duping of creatures. I would imagine it will be real quick after official launch that they are patching that and rolling back the officials

[smoky glen]

Our Nitrado hosted kept restarting randomly and having issues. So when we switched over we had more control of the restarts and setup to limit the issues.

[abstract yew]

yeah it certainly does i can host 2 servers at one time and play myself

my 2nd server is now in a loop to

[smoky glen]

And it would auto update versions which I hated where when I self host I manually decided when to update.

[bleak ivy]

yeah nitrado is them hosting and you are stuck with their customer service and UI.
hosting on a PC or homeserver isn't gonna be any different except the hardware (and how you first get it installed for obvious reasons) but they have the same control.

[abstract yew]

im getting real close to messaging my players and announcing that im stopping the nitrado servers and just go on with my dedicated ones

[vast badger]

Yep clusters work fine aswell

[bleak ivy]

ASA is so nice to actually allow LAN servers to cluster properly lol

[smoky glen]

Yeah that makes sense. Didn't think of it that way, ty lol

[vast badger]

got it working on ASE aswell, it was a while ago but didnt have any problems

[abstract yew]

and it costs me nothing t host them trough my own pc

[vast badger]

37gb of ram usage with server and client running (with a bunch of random stuff in the background)

[bleak ivy]

when I hosted my ASE one it didn't cluster properly (transfer-wise) since LAN has a different tab and isn't viewable from the ingame menu.

[vast badger]

oh yeah i remember now my game wouldnt load into the transferred server id have to join it manually after it fails to send me into the new server

[last rose]

Can someone tell me how I will get the birthday bash event on my server?

[iron bronze]

Do we think that AP is causing the engeam auto unlock thing?

[bleak ivy]

-Activeevent=birthday in the command line.
if you are nitrado it'd be in the UI, no idea if its there currently.

[last rose]

Thank you

[hallow scaffold]

im nitrado and i cant see this ui that does this. i added -Activeevent=birthday in the gameusersetting ini and it hasnt put the event on...

[abstract yew]

im gonna cancel my nitrado servers because im done with the bs

[celest halo]

its not an ini setting so adding it any ini file will do nothing

[bleak ivy]

because its command line. nitrado can't access it.
gotta wait until its added to the UI

[quasi pagoda]

Oh boy all the mods didn't update, that's fun

Gonna make sure that backup is still safe

[smoky glen]

@flint oasis , mine just stopped looping now. Might wanna try it again on your end if you haven't already.

[hallow scaffold]

so they released an event we can't activate 😭

[bleak ivy]

nitrado just needs to add it, not something wildcard can do

[smoky glen]

Should be able to soon

[ruby merlin]

curseforge is back updated all m,y mods

[keen tusk]

First time using mods, when will they all be updating?

[celest halo]

anytime between now and never

[keen tusk]

Got it thanks

[ruby merlin]

now i had to managhe my dlc in steam uninstal all maps and reinstall new versions

[celest halo]

all depends on if the mods author still mods or how busy they are on when/if a mod gets an update

[keen tusk]

Interesting, so these modded dedicateds could be down for weeks? Will they just have to get rid of the mods if they never update to the version?

[ruby merlin]

yeah if they no longer update its not worth keeping

[tacit marsh]

Anyone else getting "No machine id was found" when the server instances load up? I'm on a dedicated self-host.

[ruby merlin]

im just getting told i dont own the centre

[tacit marsh]

Ok cool. Some of the maps would hit that line and just terminate. But now everything seems to be working.

[raw stirrup]

has anyone whos got a nitrado server actually got it to finish the update ?

[ruby merlin]

yeah my nitrado is done

[flint oasis]

Me too bro

[tepid berry]

Yep, my SCS pods are 'stacking' with each other so everyone needs to be aware that if you have any modded cryos, people might be angry depending on how used

[raw stirrup]

mine just says a new update will be installed now and has the force stop and force start appear do i just keep waiting ?

[ruby merlin]

enable keyboard shortcuts and kill the server

give it 30 mins and start it bk up

[raw stirrup]

may be a dumb question but how do you enable keyboard shortcuts ?

[ruby merlin]

left hand side of your interface click your name at the botom

[glacial shadow]

That's not just the mod dinos. My vanilla cryo's are stacking now, ferilized eggs, tons of things that shouldn't stack ARE stacking. The ItemStackSizeMultiplier is broken.

[blissful goblet]

Yea our server's vanilla cryos stack and you can dupe dinos from it

[tepid badger]

my cryo dinos are just gone when i transfered them between inventories :D

[compact forge]

Same here. Happens on mod cryos and vanilla cryos

[tepid badger]

Anyone got increased Stacksizes working?

[glacial shadow]

Yeah, careful with it. Stacking also means when you pull a cryo from storage with a dino in it, it'll stack with cryo's that don't have dino's in it. Poof.

[tepid badger]

that is insane

[grizzled jasper]

Hello! I just got home and saw that juicy update. Anyone knows if the update its up for unofficial servers? Or we have to shut the servers down some more time?

[tepid badger]

Duping dinos with the stacking cryos is incredibly easy now what the fuck

[smoky glen]

It will prob be fixed pretty quickly

[pseudo glade]

its up for servers and clients

[grizzled jasper]

So, what i should do? Wait a few hours? Because i dont know if the update its up yet

[somber arrow]

Worth updating servers to new patch or everything broken?

[pseudo glade]

I dont understand your question to my response. You asked if the update is live to all it is

[hallow scaffold]

yeah the game is actually fully broken, if you cryo a dino and you have more than 1 cryo in your inv it will stack them together so you have 2 stacks of what you just cryo'd

i just duplicated 2 direwolves like 20 times

[gentle niche]

@zealous aurora ItemStackSize messed tf up

[tepid badger]

I now have a bunch of sleeping exact same wyverns

what the fuck

[grizzled jasper]

Sorry. My question was, if i shut down my servers now, do i start them now, or wait? Because sometimes they dont update to the last version

[celest halo]

spend 5 min to read chat and think you will know what to do 😂

[pseudo glade]

if you google ark survival ascended steamdb for dedicated servers click depots you can see when the updates are available

the update is available for your server. Rebooting it will update

[tepid badger]

I wouldnt update anything unless you want your save to be bugged out

[flint oasis]

Curseforge is fucking everything up

[grizzled jasper]

You just saved me man

[grizzled jasper]

Well, people are updating their games. They can't play that version anymore- so i need to update.

[pseudo glade]

nitrado sucks dedicated is the way

[celest halo]

dont need to google the links to steam db are in pinned messages in here

[analog oracle]

"You own the map, but it is not installed. Please Install it" My map IS installed. Anybody facing this issue?

[pseudo glade]

with astra?

[analog oracle]

The Center

[vernal girder]

Yes man more ppl

[pseudo glade]

click manage dlc and ensure its installed

[analog oracle]

How is it not installed if the disk space is occupied?

[vernal girder]

Do you guys able to start Club Ark?

[wild drum]

I can get into all maps except Scorched Earth and The Center, I'm getting the same error

[analog oracle]

Are you in my computer right now, can you see the space isn't occupied?

[smoky glen]

Lol, when you click to install it, nothing happens in steam

[pseudo glade]

when you hit manage dlc does it show all maps have a check mark?

[analog oracle]

@polar echo you're right. I'm sorry.

[smoky glen]

It does, it's just not actually installing it rn by the looks of it. I wasn't able to get it to work rn either

[pseudo glade]

what a shit show

[smoky glen]

Honestly so far not as bad as I thought

Sweet, ty

[analog oracle]

the maps you mean?

[pseudo glade]

gonna just uninstall ark now and reinstall

[tepid badger]

Stacksize and Cryopods dont work properly, be aware

[pseudo glade]

cant play anyways due to API needing to be updated

[grizzled jasper]

Yes. Lets see if they can patch it out.

[smoky glen]

It's a larger issue so shouldn't be too long

[abstract yew]

i cant even start up my own dedicated server when its busy booting up is just closes the window

and it also said machine id not found

[flint oasis]

Do they have an ETA as to whe nCF will be up and running?

[spark wedge]

Anyone know why a few of my servers are just stuck are restarting

[celest halo]

WC and CF major update issues

[smoky glen]

I was able to get my testing server up. Seems like it's just going from working to not rn

[celest halo]

wouldnt be a normal major update if everything just worked for everyone 😂

[hallow scaffold]

all this talk about delaying to make it smooth aswell 🙃

[smoky glen]

Well, my mod icons in game are all fixed so that's cool lol. They have been broken for months

[tepid berry]

With the patch causing custom-data items to stack and destroy the items, I wouldn't be rushing to get my server back up right now anyhow

You're gonna suffer players data loss

[smoky glen]

Yeah, I only have a test one up rn to play around before bringing others up. Not as bad as I thought tbh tho

[tepid badger]

my laptop that just crashed at launch runs with 40 fps now

atleast that is smooth now

[smoky glen]

Pelayori's Cryo Storage isn't having the stacking issue by the looks of it. I can't get it to stack at least

[tepid berry]

Someone said eggs were having the issue too?

[flint oasis]

So I tried removing mods and that didn't fix it I tried removing event and that didn't work I tried verifying files and still no luck ... Does it still haev to read Curseforge even without mods?

[smoky glen]

My 3 fert rex eggs didn't stack when I picked them up rn.

[glacial fjord]

I encountered this issue of being unable to start.

[flint oasis]

I just saw in Announcements that they are aware of the Astraeos map issue maybe that is what we are encountering

[smoky glen]

The machine ID right?

[flint oasis]

Yeah lol apparently it may not be Curseforge but it may be the map so I am gonna try that

[fathom tinsel]

Anyone running Astraeos ? There is a note saying there is a problem keeping the map from starting properly.

[flint oasis]

Okay so I tried to change the map fro mAstraeos to TheIsland and that didn't work either

[smoky glen]

I was having that same error on center and ab, it started working when I was able to view my mods so it's prob an issue with CF going up and down at least for mine that had the same issue.

[flint oasis]

Okay Did you open the game itself on the server computer then it fixed?

[harsh sleet]

Anyone having trouble getting Nitrado to do the update?

[quasi pagoda]

Alright, looks like there's a game-breaking issue with cryopods if you have stack size multiplier set to something greater than 1. Several bug reports on the forum already for it (confirmed the issue on my server and shared info on the forum).

[smoky glen]

Nah, I was just on the game on my pc trying to look to see what other servers were on. Then I was refreshing the mod page and when it finally loaded I started my server to see if that would work.

[flint oasis]

Yeah I opened the mods page I may need to delete mods etc... Gotta work through this since I know it wont be helped otherwise lol

[daring storm]

anyone else crash when travel to another map (in cluster) ?

[smoky glen]

Sweetness, ty! I was trying to get it to stack on mine lol. I have a stacking mod and wasn't able to get it to stack

[vast badger]

looks like they moved shader compilation to the main menu instead of during gameplay and its definitely smoother in game

[flint oasis]

So nothing I am doing works lol

[mental stag]

Yes. And inventory items reduced to x1 amount

[glad yoke]

Anyone know of line that disable flyer taming or riding?

[quasi pagoda]

I immediately lost a dino due to the stacking bug, so reloading the save and leaving the server offline until I hear that a fix is out 😅

[upper anchor]

Some servers still giving the machine id error, some aren't

[glacial fjord]

The issue still persists.

[vast badger]

could be, only way to find out is play more and see if it stutters for new shaders. kinda weird to not load them all at once like most games do but you never know

[sweet rapids]

so am I better off waiting to update my servers until there's a fix for the bugs atm?

[fluid portal]

Forget stacksize setting not being used properly by a server - it's stacking fertilized eggs! I just pulled 5 fertilized eggs out of a fridge to throw out - looked at my inventory and had only 1 egg!

[vast badger]

would help if they had a loading screen like marvel rivals or a progress bar in the corner like how most COD games have now, could show more of what its actually doing

[flint oasis]

I just submitted a bug for the No machine error code

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah, so like what happend on my server was that I cryo'd a dino, went to a cryofridge, and drag-and-dropped the cryopod with the dino in it onto a folder in the fridge. Afterwards, I opened the folder and it was still empty. I looked around the cryofridge and noticed that now a different folder had an "x2" next to a cryopod that already had a different dino in it. I was curious what would happen if I tried to transfer that to my inventory, so I selected it and pressed "T." It did not appear in my inventory. I looked around my own inventory and saw that inside a folder in my inventory it had double-stacked my "empty" cryopods (now both of them showed "x2" next to them). The original dino I had started out with was still gone, and the one that had been in the fridge to begin with was also gone.

[fluid portal]

Haha methinks something is a little funky. My dung beetle does have stacks of poop in it's enventory now. So that's nice xD

[modest helm]

I'm having this too, but it's duplicating Dino's. And then put them in the fridge and the 2 turned into a different Dino. And got an empty Cryo on the floor next to fridge

[harsh forge]

Are you all using global stack modifiers?

[quasi rivet]

Is anyone else’s server just constantly restarting?

[harsh forge]

Nope, good here. Self hosted or Nitrado?

[quasi rivet]

Nitrado

[flint oasis]

I am reinstalling on my server computer to see if that helps.

[celest halo]

always nitrado when they in a restart loop 😂

[quasi rivet]

Maybe just installing updates thanks anyways 🫡

[serene barn]

did you get this figured out i am trying to find how it works to? not sure where to put it in my nitrado ini files the normal spots aren't working.

[spice wyvern]

Nope

[carmine goblet]

Anyone getting this error when restarting their servers? "Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (serverUnreachable)"

[raw stirrup]

yup

[spice wyvern]

Mods are empty in game. Currently not working

[serene barn]

kirrtrap implies he figured it out

[carmine goblet]

Ohhh the stupid certs I didn't think of that, thank you!

[serene barn]

thats why i was asking him.

[spice wyvern]

I did a force shut down. Waited 30 minutes then restarted

[void vapor]

it happens to me with scorched and astraeos

[raw stirrup]

yeah mine says it running now and then 2 mins later it restarts xD

[spice wyvern]

If you’re running your own server not through Nitrado

[raw stirrup]

im guessing its because its astreos map

[void vapor]

it happens to me with scorched and astraeos

[spice wyvern]

I just keep getting content failed to load

[simple tendon]

do i need the mod id for this birthday event on private dedi server?

[smoky glen]

CF issue. Gotta wait until CF is back up

I had to fully close and re-open steam to get it to actually install the map earlier

[quasi rivet]

Mines set to the island but no one else in the cluster has reset yet either I dunno if that has anything to do with it

[ember wren]

We have non nitrado servers and can't figure out how to start the event

[void vapor]

all other servers work fine for me, but scorched and astraeos crashes all the time at startup.

[ember wren]

Don't know where to put the command code

[simple tendon]

do i need to put a mod id in the bat for that event?

ok, nothing else, thanks

[hexed steeple]

is the stack size not working just an issue they need to patch then or what? some people are acting like they aren't affected

[harsh forge]

If you are using the global stack size setting it sounds like everything is stacking now

I'd recomend using item overrides for your stack sizes.

Something like this happend with ASE as well

[fluid portal]

I had some of those set too but they are being ignored.

[hexed steeple]

yeah just using ItemStackSizeMultiplier= in the GUS I think, aside from a few overrides like you mentioned for specific items

[harsh forge]

Which items? I checked the basics but not everything

[hexed steeple]

but when I launched my server, literally nothing was stacking above vanilla

[untold turtle]

Anyone have a fix for an error stating no machine id was found when starting up their servers?

[ember wren]

@polar echo apparently he is not using a bat file

[quasi pagoda]

for me it was just try again until it works 🤷

[hexed steeple]

my server had this error but it didn't stop it from loading

[fluid portal]

Most raw meats (inc fish mutton etc) but also items are stacking. I repaired my ascendeant bow, transfered it back to my inventory but didn't realise I had a primitive one in there to. I now have a stack of two primitive bows...

[harsh forge]

Yea, that is a result of the global stacking 😦

[ember wren]

He is using ASADedicsmanager

[harsh forge]

I have my global stacking set to 1 and then have an override for each item I want to stack:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Flint_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=200, bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[untold turtle]

Mines just straight up crashing i tried verifying and restarting my machine 😖

[fluid portal]

That's pretty smart actually. I made some changes before posting but sadly server isn't starting up now xD Time to sleep and take a look tomorrow.

[harsh forge]

sleep well, your problem will wait for you 😉

[fluid portal]

Haha they all do

[celest halo]

CF having issues [2025.06.05-21.16.02:526][299]LogCFCore: Error: Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (serverUnreachable)

[hexed steeple]

the issue is I want basically every item stack size to increase so this would be a ton of work to set up vs just using the global one. I guess I have to just sit tight and pray for a patch at this point

[celest halo]

everyone trying to start there modded servers making a ddos attach on them 🤣

[harsh forge]

True. THe reason I set mine up like this from the start is because this happened with ASE as well. I'm not sure that is going to get fixed tbh.

Feel free to dm me for my item list, it's at least a good start for you.

[void vapor]

ark does not load the mods, I have seen that they are beginning to rebound reports of curseforge, I imagine that this will be the reason

[fluid portal]

Ooh I would also very much like that - prep for one of tomorrows problems!

[celest halo]

yup because it cant reach the CF servers

i get same unreachable error on client as i do server

[keen tusk]

How often does it take for the modders to update their mods? Hours, weeks, months?

[real ingot]

depends on the mod author

[shut lotus]

Same issue. Cryo stack, weapons stack etc. Even creatures in cryo do now stack 😭 🤯 And can't even do a bug report as I never ever get the validation emails... Did you find any workaround?

[tardy prairie]

Are unofficial nitrado servers down for anyone else?

[keen tusk]

Just looking for typical times, I understand it depends on the modder, but as far as usually for most mods, what’s a good average?

[untold turtle]

I'm thinking mods are an issue too because the second half of my not finding the machine ID is that it can't query the server mods

[harsh forge]

Lune, you need to not use the global stack modifier and use individual item overrides. This exact thing happened on ASE.

[hexed steeple]

wait yall are having everything stack? my stack sizes just quit working. everything is vanilla default

[harsh forge]

Curseforge API is offline again

[quasi pagoda]

Most mod authors I follow had updates for this already queued ahead of time. What makes it a mess to estimate is that many many mods get abandoned, so while an active modder may respond in a few days, some will never respond.

[real ingot]

within a few days but it it may depend on the extent of the fixes etc

[flint oasis]

Okay reinstalling didnt work lol

[frigid vine]

Is the server-transfer for you working guys? Our games instant crashing (steam/pc).

[celest halo]

its not offline its overloaded and spotty connection, its having a hard time dealing with all the traffic from servers trying to start and check/download mods and from clients doing the same

[shut lotus]

I didn't edit any .ini nor use any mod or anything. My game is full vanilla with default settings so I'm quite surprised. Any clue about this?

[hexed steeple]

is this line supposed to be the first line of configs now? server keeps reinserting it at startup
;METADATA=(Diff=true, UseCommands=true)

[strange galleon]

Anyone know where you are supposed to put the event command in at. I'm so confused

[quasi pagoda]

Can you confirm whether or not there is a line for "ItemStackSizeMultiplier" in your GameUserSettings.ini, and if so what the value is set to?

[raw stirrup]

same are you on the astreos map ?

[flint oasis]

In the bat file where you put the mod id etc

[fathom tinsel]

Any luck with anyone running Astraeos on a self-hosted yet?

[raw stirrup]

anyone had luck with nitrado astaeos map ?

[flint oasis]

Nope lol but mine has the no machine id bug lol

[celest halo]

#status-updates message

[raw stirrup]

ive seen that not helpful xD

[flint oasis]

I wonder if that is what is causing the machine id problem

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, I figured I would ask. I have not restarted/updated my server yet so I figured I would wait until someone says they have it working.

[broken halo]

CF is still down even if ark is up

[flint oasis]

fucking christ lol

[celest halo]

its not offline its overloaded and spotty connection, its having a hard time dealing with all the traffic from servers trying to start and check/download mods and from clients doing the same

[shut lotus]

Yes: "ItemStackSizeMultiplier=1". But I had lines from old mods I used before, removed them and restarted. Seems ok now, weapons are back to normal and not stacking anymore. Thx for your help tho!

[flint oasis]

😭 I just wanted to play today

[strange galleon]

Bat file?

[celest halo]

major update day is normally not a playable day without issues

[lost valley]

anyone else still stuck in "updating" in nitrado?

[flint oasis]

Well I use the Ark Ascended Dedicated Server from the tools section on steam. I am assuming that SteamCMD would have a similar thing where you have to put the Start ArkAscended dot Exe Mapname_wp?listen etc that would be in the bat file

[flint oasis]

Not wrong lol been playing ark for 10 years lol never a dull moment but I thought hey I am using my own server computer I shouldbe fine right? ..... RIGHT?

[strange galleon]

I'm just using Nitrado

[fathom tinsel]

Silly, You know that never happens on "Major release" days. You have a week before you get to log in again.

[quasi pagoda]

Ah, I haven't ever seen the Nitrado UI, but allegedly there's a UI option to add startup commands? And it goes in there

[flint oasis]

Ahhh Nitrado you have to go into the config files and add it there ActiveEvent=Birthday I believe in GUS file

[celest halo]

you still at the mercy of WC bad coding and lack of testing

[flint oasis]

If they dont have it added to their event button via the general tab

[strange galleon]

Is that the game.ini or gameusersetttings.ini

[flint oasis]

Right?? I have been their guinea pig for a decade!

[latent rune]

Ive never been part of a gaming community that hated on the developer so much, lmao

[flint oasis]

Game user

[flint oasis]

Dont hate the game hate the damn devs is our motto 😄

[sturdy needle]

I'm having a "Plugin 'NIS' failed to load because module 'NISShaders' could not be found." error after updating and the server won't launch. What can I do?

[flint oasis]

I do not hate them I am just making silly comments

[celest halo]

most dont have every update delayed weeks on end then need multiple hot fixes to be playable 😂

[strange galleon]

And I just type it in anywhere? In the gameusersettings.ini?

[latent rune]

This is quite true lol

[flint oasis]

I would place it at the top like 3rd line down. It is easy to find and you arent stepping on the toes of the file ... maybe 5 lines down lol

[flint oasis]

If that doesn't work you will need to wait until nitrado does something in the general tab. but when i used Nitrado I use that. NOTE: It is a new event for ASA and it may not work immediately so you may need to be patient but give it a shot 🙂

[flint oasis]

I am just glad they have down to earth people to work their Discord lol I just want more communication from WC.

Question ..... Will my server still work with the machine ID problem? Lol I mean I dont want to break it more than i already have when I transferred in from Nitrado to my laptop lmao

[celest halo]

mine was working

[flint oasis]

Do the mods still work? Like wtf is that error?

[celest halo]

mods where working also

[flint oasis]

If it still works etc I will just start it up and pray Lmao

Cool thanks vw I will try it out lmao fingers crossed yall!

[celest halo]

i just had saddels stacking but also noticed this is in my GUS ItemStackSizeMultiplier=1.000000 ItemStackSizeMultiplier=100 why it has that setting doubled with differnt settings i dont know

[hexed steeple]

oh that's weird

[flint oasis]

WTF lmao

[hexed steeple]

out of curiosity are you also getting ";METADATA=(Diff=true, UseCommands=true)" at the top of your file every time you boot the server?

imma check my file for that duplicate line

[celest halo]

any line starting with ; in an ini file is a comment

[hexed steeple]

ye but if I delete it it reinserts itself at every restart, it didnt do that before today's update, not that I'm aware of anyway

[flint oasis]

Why yall getting weird shit lol

Now I wanna check my files

[manic rivet]

so where is this bat file where i can add the command line to start the birthday event? anyone know?

[flint oasis]

No shit I got that too lol

[celest halo]

it shouldnt do anything with it being a comment, programs shouldnt load comment lines as code

[hexed steeple]

I cant find a duplicate ItemStackSizeMultiplier but mine doesnt work, its as if its set to 1 but its set to 50

[flint oasis]

Steam>SteamApps>Common>ArkAscended Dedicated>Shootergame>Binaries>Win64

[flint oasis]

Somethign like that lol Also if you need help writing the bat file let me know 🙂

[reef coral]

Phew found fix for my mods

[manic rivet]

we can write bat files in nitrado?

[quasi pagoda]

How are you starting your server?

[flint oasis]

No no only dedicated For nitrado you need to find the game user files and game ini to change settings

[reef coral]

Just deleted mod folder and it redownloaded all my mods to the last version and now everything works

[celest halo]

nitardo you have to wait till they add an option to there GUI to enable the birthday event

[flint oasis]

Now, if you want an easy way to connect frind a good ftp file program like Filezilla

[flint oasis]

LMAO defintiely a good name for them bro

[hexed steeple]

ye I was just laughing at this too lol

[devout rampart]

I hope WC solve ASAP the item multiplier bug, i have the cluster off to prevent Dino loss (cryopod stack on boot and lose Dino) and all my player got half of the mats (stacking object don't work anymore, turning back on standard 1x)

[pearl token]

A 3 day delay for a complete shambles of an update, I wouldn't expect anything less from wildcard

[raw stirrup]

anyone had any luck with nitrado asteros map yet?

[celest halo]

lest they constant 🤣

[celest halo]

map is broken #status-updates message

[raw stirrup]

still mad

[flint oasis]

Ugh it said day 1 lmao

trying again

[pearl token]

True 😂 I just don't get why they are so evasive with giving any sort of communication, it just makes 0 sense to me

[celest halo]

genral uses the info to give them more shit, then they get if they dont give any info

[cloud sorrel]

@manic rivet "-Activeevent=birthday

[flint oasis]

Wow cant even do single player lol says the Astraeos isnt even updated yet

[flint oasis]

If doing Nitrado he has to place it in the GameUserSettings without the dash in front of it

[sweet rapids]

is it safe to update my cluster yet? or is there still bugs going on wit hthe patch

[celest halo]

depends on what you think is safe

and there has been 0 hotfixes pushed since the update so.......

[quasi pagoda]

It runs fairly well, but the two known issues so far are that astraeos doesn't work at all, and that ItemStackSizeMultiplier must equal 1 or many things will break quite badly.

[mental stag]

I set

Also added :

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=100, bIgnoreMultiplier=true)) 
....

Full list https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Item_IDs

• I restored map from backup.

[ancient storm]

any chance of a little help in here everyone just whining in the other channels.... does anyone know the mod ID for the anniversary event. or the name of the mod as I cant find it in mod list. thanks

[marsh knoll]

It's not a mod. You need to run your server with -Activeevent=birthday parameter

[celest halo]

there is no modid

[bold mason]

anyone getting "Plugin NIS failed to load because module NISSaders could not be found" ?

[ancient storm]

im renting off a provider thought so i dont have a command line do i, not sure

nevermind scratch that i think i see it, ty

[wary thicket]

Can anyone add mods to there server for nitrado or even get it to work?

[frigid vine]

re-install your server. Make a backup of your Saved folder

[winged cove]

Same here currently looking for a fix

[urban pelican]

I shut my ASA servers down while all this update stuff finished, is it now safe to start them back up to install the update and update mods?

[latent rune]

I shall consider myself lucky this update, as my servers are all working perfectly

which is the least they could do considering it took 3 days to figure out why they wouldn't get past the core count on boot

[polar cosmos]

Any mods on your servers?

[latent rune]

not a one

[marsh knoll]

I just shutted down all our servers, did a rollback and waiting for patches

[celest halo]

maybe, maybe not, all depends on what mods and settings you use

[polar cosmos]

Hmm okay

[latent rune]

I prefer to not use mods just because of these issues happening with them

[marsh knoll]

The most nasty bug is related to stack sizes

[latent rune]

safer that way, less headaches

[polar cosmos]

That's true

[latent rune]

I'd rather adjust a setting in the game files than add mods, yeah you don't get some content that mods provide, but its worth it to have working servers 🙂

[polar cosmos]

The cluster I play on has several mods which has me worried

[marsh knoll]

If you have custom stack sizes, people will loose cryopodded dinos, equipment, etc

[latent rune]

nothing is customized as of yet on my servers

[urban pelican]

Ya i was gonna do the roll back as well.

[latent rune]

its all mostly vanilla

[celest halo]

checking my test server i had 0 issues with the mods i have, only issue i have is the one WC did by messing up the stack multiplier 😂

[latent rune]

with WC, you should never expect anything less 😉

[celest halo]

yup, most of the issue i run into are from WC not the mods i use

[latent rune]

I'm sure once people start hopping on, ill hear about stuff not working

so far so good, but i never expect that to last 😛

[urban pelican]

Only have a few things with custom stacks commands in the settings. Mostly just meat, honey and a few other food items

[frosty radish]

Are mods just not working on console? Download all individually then invalid once I close mod page

[gentle niche]

I moved all my stuff to vanilla storage in fear that modded storage would erase everything, i have stack multiplier on aswell BUT if its not stacked then it will exceed the max storage size, guess i wont play till its sorted

[real ingot]

sigh still just waiting on Nitrado to work for me. Restart loop

[urban pelican]

Is the stack issue due to a mod? Or does this count with custom code as well?

[real ingot]

just ini setting

[marsh knoll]

Its due to stacksizemultiplier in ini file

[gentle niche]

Yes i have it set higher, if my items are no longer stacked then they wont fit in the vanilla storage at vanilla stack size lol

[urban pelican]

Hmmm might just remove them before I start my servers back up

[marsh knoll]

If you for example have x5 size, your cryopods with dinos will start to stack so effectively, you will loose 4/5 of cryostorages

[real ingot]

I've got the cryo pods set with an override to x1 stack

[gentle niche]

i've put the line in to override cryo to max 1, its my resources im worried about

[urban pelican]

I don’t have pods stacked on my servers

Didn’t want to run into any issues

[real ingot]

They not meant to but this bug is causing that to happen

[gentle niche]

if i have a vault full with 3 x stacks then if they are no longer x3 stacks all my shit will be gone XD well at least 2 thirds of it

[urban pelican]

So it the override helping to not let it happen?

[real ingot]

I haven't got first hand experience but that's the running suggestion

my 5 servers are still restart looping with Nitrado so I can't even get that far

[marsh knoll]

Resources are not impacted. Bug is that items which normally doesnt stack (saddles, fertilized eggs, full cryopods) started to stack after update

[gentle niche]

people are saying the multiplier isnt working on anything but is affecting cryopods, saddles etc

[quasi pagoda]

(empty cryopods, too)

[brisk topaz]

They are

[marsh knoll]

Yes, but empty doesnt matter. If 4 your breed dinos stack into empty crypod, there is no way to recover them

[azure herald]

Do we have a quick fix for the cryo stacking? Oh, it's saddles too? Oh boy.

[quasi pagoda]

yeah 100% agree, just saying they are technically affected.

[quasi pagoda]

set your INI value for ItemStackSizeMultiplier=1

[azure herald]

You are amazing. Ty.

[proud glade]

I’m trying to run a non-dedicated session with my friend and we can’t join or even seem to find eachother in the join ark thing
Anyone know how to help?

[marsh knoll]

But you will loose MANY resources if you do this

[brisk topaz]

not a good idea

[azure herald]

You'd have to go in and manually declare every stackable resource. This is going to take forever.

[celest halo]

thats why we dont bother moving stuff to vanilla WC is way better at breaking things then mod authors are

[regal musk]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",Quantity=(MaxQuantity=750,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
would it look like this? but for each item?

im willing to do it if its correct lmao

[brisk topaz]

yes

[gentle niche]

Wish i hadnt listened 😦 i have back ups, gonna log in now and see what the crack is 🤣

[marsh knoll]

Also, but stacksize also impact the capacity of dedi storages. So if you will lets say go from 5 to 1, you will loose 4/5 of your resources

[regal musk]

ok anything else i should do when doing this then?

[azure herald]

OOF.

[marsh knoll]

Stop servers, do rollback and wait for patch

Thats the only way to not lose resources, items and dinos at the moment

[gentle niche]

im annoyed at myself more than anything lol i was gonna leave everything in the CS vaults and everyone was like 'make sure everything is in vanilla storage' at least i could have played

[quasi pagoda]

Yeah it's not ideal, and I'm expecting to rollback to my pre-5.5 save once a hotfix is out for this, but I wanted to get in and verify what is working and what isn't

[azure herald]

I feel so bad. I told my people to cryo everything, just in case. ;_;

[buoyant yacht]

Anyone able to spin up a new self hosted server? I can't see any new servers I try and make. Old servers show up fine

[marsh knoll]

Yes, i started at least 5 test servers today after update without “any” issues

[iron bronze]

No word on a fix for the stacking issue then?

[edgy phoenix]

Custom stack sizes like just changing the default setting from 1 to 10 or custom like changing specific items in the ini?

[olive talon]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItem_WeaponEmptyCryopod_C",Quantity=1,OverrideEnabled=true)

Can use this for now

[gentle niche]

So my stack multiplier remained for wood, stone, flint and nothing else

[brisk topaz]

that's just for cryopods, not for the rest

[gentle niche]

Lost 2 thirds of everything else >.< have to wait for a patch and roll back i guess

[marsh knoll]

Defaut setting for all objects

[quasi pagoda]

Has anyone tried just inverting the problem? Like, leaving the global stack size multiplier set to whatever (not 1) and then forcing the size to ignore that multiplier for saddles/cryos?

[olive talon]

You can use the defaults for the rest, or add in more custom stacks instead of using the global multiplier afaik

[gentle niche]

Issue i have is that my boxes were full of multiplied stacks

[last rose]

Can anyone tell me what the issue is with the mods saying they are invalid? When I look at them it shows broken files.

[brisk topaz]

we got x10 for stack multipliers, i don't wan't to create many commands lines because they can't make an update correctly lol

[gentle niche]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItem_WeaponEmptyCryopod_C",Quantity=1,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Thats what worked for me

[marsh knoll]

Dont forget that stacksizemultiplier also impact the capacity of dedi storages. So if people will change it, they will lose tons of resources

[olive talon]

Obviously no one wants to do that, i was just referring to it for now.

[brisk topaz]

yeah i don't blame you 😅

[olive talon]

Might end up losing some of it anyway tbf, with whatever bugged in this launch

[quasi pagoda]

So what I'm suggesting (no idea if this works yet or not) is leaving your ItemStackSizeMultiplier set to something > 1 (whatever you had before) and then explicitly set the stack size for the things we're worried about (saddles/cryopods), then doing a rollback to restore the lost resources.

[olive talon]

Mhmmmm

[gentle niche]

Thats not my problem lol my problem is my vaults were full to the brim of resources in x3 stacks

[marsh knoll]

That should work. Also fertilized eggs

[quasi pagoda]

would reloading a save with the multiplier set to what it had been set to (x3, it sounds like) not fix it for you?

[marsh knoll]

There will be more stuff which normally do not stack and now it will - weapons? Artefacts?

[celest halo]

either one is a pain if you dont have beacon, finding the name for every item you want to override lol

[glad pumice]

how does one enable the event on nitrado

[olive talon]

The drop down menu for events in the general tab

[gentle niche]

i dont know what you mean, i have the multiplier set to x3 already, only the wood, stone and flint persisted, everything else back to default meaning i lost 2 thirds of it

[delicate sage]

Anyone having issues getting the Island map to start in server?

[quasi pagoda]

ah now I am confused... I hadn't heard of that issue yet. terrifying.

[gentle niche]

yeah they cooked it =/ i have back up, just annoying to have to wait even longer now

[delicate sage]

I can get Astraeos Map to start in server. And Scorched. But Island just sits in ticking loop after it says it's loaded.

[quasi pagoda]

I told my server this is a bug-testing run -- don't count on anything being saved from this release until I give the all-clear

[gentle niche]

i COULD manually enter the stack size for each item to be fair XD

but cba at this point

[quasi pagoda]

I'm right in that in-between space as a dev where I want to just do it and I'm also extremely lazy and don't want to

[marsh knoll]

I’m pretty sure this will be in top10 prios to fix in the next release tomorrow

[delicate sage]

Which files do you back up in server again. .ark and the tribe file. Do I need to backup cluster data?

[viscid linden]

im getting "Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod." is there any fix to this when i start my server?

[flint oak]

Hi

Does unofficial servers are free or pay

My grammar is not that good sorry

[delicate sage]

Free

[marsh knoll]

Usually free

[delicate sage]

I think you're limited to 3 servers per client or whatever.

[flint oak]

Fr?

[flint oasis]

Any fix for Astraeos yet?

[delicate sage]

Not sure. It was a thing at one point.

[quasi pagoda]

for me, I stopped the server, made sure to back everything up, deleted everything from the mods folder (ShooterGame / Binaries / Win64 / ShooterGame / Mods/ {some number}), then went up one level to ModsUserData -> {somenumber}, opened up the library.json file, and cleared out the json so the file looked like this:

{"installedMods":[]}

Then started the server again and it redownloaded everything.

[flint oak]

How can i make one

[jade trail]

my games running so nice but it doesnt look very crisp - kinda blurry. any fix for this?

[flint oak]

I wanna play with a friend

[celest halo]

i wouldnt call it a top10 for WC it dont effect official so they not going to care much

[viscid linden]

tysm

[gentle niche]

Getting more frames but the game looks worse now, like we have downgraded graphics lol lumen flickering worse than ever on abb -_- jesus wept

[quasi pagoda]

not that it's relevant to the channel, but are you using the Unreal resolution scaling or DLSS (or FSR)?

[marsh knoll]

Sorry, I thought you’re asking about connecting to unofficial server. Running it is not free

[flint oak]

Ohhh

[quasi pagoda]

Complicated -- it's free to run one if you have the hardware to do so

[gentle niche]

DLSS same as before

[flint oak]

I was playing on official on 5187 the island

[flint oak]

Its Hard to make one free

[flint oasis]

You could host a server on your pc but when you are not on they cannot play on it but it makes it simple. You may have a tether tho

[flint oak]

Its non dedicated right?

[quasi pagoda]

It's not super trivial to setup an unofficial dedicated server for free, but it's not impossibly difficult either. Probably the most complicated part is the router configuration to let someone outside of your home network connect to it

[flint oak]

I tried but he cant join

[flint oasis]

Yeah host non dedicated I believe ... otherwise you have to use a separate app

[flint oak]

Oh

[quasi pagoda]

Does anyone know if for non-dedicated you still have to setup port forwarding?

[flint oak]

Ill try

[bleak ivy]

you don't, it goes through the platform

its not crossplay

[flint oasis]

The app wouldnt work unless you did a ton of port forwarding etc makes it more difficult

[flint oak]

I really wanna play w him

[flint oasis]

When you get into the nonded have him join you form friends list in steam

[flint oak]

I tried but on the non dedicated

He Plays on ps

[quasi pagoda]

ahh, then yes you'll have to setup a dedicated

[flint oak]

Ill try

[glad pumice]

"Content failed to load" fixes for this ?

[marsh knoll]

Have you considered just connecting to one of the existing unofficial servers with your friend?

[flint oasis]

We can walk you through it pretty easy

[flint oak]

I was playing w him in official 5187

[flint oak]

Please

[flint oasis]

He cant join that anymore?

[flint oak]

We cant build almost

[marsh knoll]

Go unofficial

[flint oak]

The server has 7000+ days

[flint oasis]

Copy that are you an adult and have access to your router settings?

[humble glade]

dose fsr and dlss upscaling have an diffrence on fps and quality in ark ?

[flint oak]

No

[flint oak]

He doesnt like them idk why

[flint oasis]

OKay sorry but I cannot help with unofficial through the PC but you would have to pay for Nitrado 😦

[flint oak]

Well thx

[devout elbow]

Is it safe to jump on unofficial servers?

[quasi pagoda]

The most difficult and important step in setting up an unofficial dedicated server requires modifying settings in your internet router, so if you don't have access/permission to do that, then that's not really an option 😢

[flint oak]

Ahhh

😔

[humble glade]

dose fsr and dlss upscaling have an diffrence on fps in ark ? and is it worth buying the game on steam because of this? i got it on xbox game on pc.

[fathom tinsel]

There are other ways.. If you only want a few people playing. You can setup something like Himachi (and have your friends connect to you) then you are playing over a VPN to each other. You just can't have anyone join that is not on the VPN (and as such, PC). Its free for 5 users I think.

[glad pumice]

any fixes for content failed to load on nitrado serv

[quasi pagoda]

yeah, the issue is that their friend is on PS

but man that took me back. I haven't used hamachi in like 15 years

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, in that case it would be much more complicated. You can still do it but you need more technical know-how and the person on the "PS" side needs to be able to setup a VPN at their router so the PS can route through it.

Technically you could make it work a lot of different ways. Maybe ill write some guides on it. It's not amateur friendly as much as it could be but it's something.

[celest halo]

just keep trying or wait CF is having trouble keeping up with all the traffic from everyones game and servers trying to update there mods

[glad pumice]

alright thanks

[late olive]

lol @low haven @brave summit i only wanted to show up some issues and my messages got deleted?

[tiny seal]

I'm also having this problem, on xbox, when I click update on them it doesn't do anything

[flint oasis]

Dont fret 🙂 there has to be a way yall can play together can he join your single player?

[fathom tinsel]

Power off, unplug, wait 5 minutes, plug in, power on.

[jagged garnet]

Anyone else have a stack size fail? Everything went from my 2x back to 1x but fertilized eggs only went to 2x stack ( magic i guess)

[celest halo]

WC magic

[flint oasis]

Also, you have to change the settings in your dedi server to include the consoles I just realized you said he was PS 😛

[harsh pendant]

Doesn't work its something with u0date itsself

[celest halo]

just wait till you find out WC magic stacks saddles and other things also now

[strong tinsel]

Has anyone heard if WC is planning a fix to the Item Stack Multiplier? I assume so but just in case figured I'd ask lol

[celest halo]

default for a dedicated is full crossplay

[flint oasis]

I want them to fix my damn no machine id issue lol

[glad pumice]

what problem is up with that

[flint oasis]

Mmm may be the update causing issues too then

[fathom tinsel]

I am a bit suprised I have not seen a post about a hotfix yet. I am still waiting on restarting my server since I saw a report about the map not starting right.

[flint oasis]

When I did my Nitardo (hahaha) it wasnt default so I assumed lol

[flint oasis]

Yeah I cant use mine lol it says day 1 😛

[celest halo]

well they just like WC and like to mess things up 😂

[flint oasis]

No lies! 😄

[strong tinsel]

If you have it set to anything but 1, it will stack cryopods (vanilla and modded) and cause loss of dinos, fertilized eggs are stacking and after one, they disappear, its causing armor and saddles to stack as well lol

[flint oasis]

And we STILL hang out with them bro

[fathom tinsel]

It reminds me of the old days when ARK first came out.. Actually, It reminds me of every time there is a major patch... For the last decade.

[glad pumice]

oh thats just loveeelyyyy

[vernal plank]

has anyone made a command line of all items that should have a stack size of 1 ie: saddles, armor, tools etc...?

[flint oasis]

Right? Haha Im glad they dont fuck over those who have been by their side the whole time 😉 😄

[celest halo]

yup its fun telling the "bobs" its just a normal WC major version update 😂

[flint oasis]

They get so angry dont they?

[last rose]

Yeah, my friend is also having the issue on single player server too

[fathom tinsel]

Last chance is to try to re-install I guess?

[celest halo]

all us veteran peeps be worried if a major update had no issues 😂

[knotty heron]

Are we all still having reboot loops with the Astraeos map? Spoilers: I am, lol.

[celest halo]

they havnt posted any updates on it #status-updates message

[fathom tinsel]

I assume so. That's why I haven't restarted my server yet.

[flint oasis]

Id be looking to see wh othey sold to 😄

[knotty heron]

Gotcha. I just got confused when Nitrado said everything was wrapped up, as much as I doubted it fixed the Astraeos issue.

[flint oasis]

Mine reverted to Day 1 if that helps 😄

[celest halo]

yours started, you doing better then most 🤣

[ionic dawn]

Alright so I've been having this issue where I'm trying to get my friend to join a non-dedicated server. He was able to join at first but I had to restart the server to increase the host tether distance and now my friend can't join

[flint oasis]

IKR?? I must be loved! ❤️

[fathom tinsel]

Is there an error message?

[spice wyvern]

But does a stacking mod affect this as well?

[ionic dawn]

"Host pending timeout" when he joins through an invite

[fathom tinsel]

Is that via server browser or sending a steam invite?

[ionic dawn]

STEAM invite

[celest halo]

dont know, dont know anyone still running one that has tested it

[quasi pagoda]

I'm running Daza's stacking mod, and it's working

[fathom tinsel]

I suggest trying server browser. However, you can use the console too.

1. hit ~ to open the console.
2. type open ip.address.here:7777?password
3. hit enter.

You can get your IP address from ipchicken[dot]com

[ionic dawn]

Will try

[terse pumice]

Is that the fix to the stacking issue right now?

[quasi pagoda]

yes, basically

allegedly

[vernal plank]

if you wanna fix it yourself before patch yes

[flint oasis]

@zealous aurora Yall fixing the astraeos issues yet? The No Machine Id and it erasing progress (mine is set to day 1), everything?

[knotty heron]

I imagine it's on their radar lol

[flint oasis]

Communication is key lol

[jagged garnet]

Oh no.... you for real?

[celest halo]

dont think the The No Machine Id is the issue, my test island server says that also but loads mods and map fine

[flint oasis]

Yeah mine loads lol just not my save 😄

And yes it does do that to the Island as well I tried changing the map 😛

Does it do it to other maps too have we tried that?

[alpine mountain]

Its not just me that needs to reinstall literally every single mod right?

[flint oasis]

No

I tried that too lmao

[bright raptor]

question .... suddently my data onn ark isn't their and my mods aren't active.... and im assuming if i go in my crystal isles world ... everything may be gone so what do i do?

[alpine mountain]

Well damn this sucks having to reinstall every single one, one at a time lol. The mod install process on console is trash to say the least

[celest halo]

its also an CF error not one from the game its self [2025.06.05-22.00.32:022][ 0]LogCFCore: Error: No machine id was found

[flint oasis]

Thats what Im told I removed all mods and it was still there so that doesnt work either 😛

[flint oasis]

Are you in ASE?

[bright raptor]

no

evolved

[flint oasis]

That would be ASE lol

[knotty heron]

If we manually edit stack sizes per item rather than use the stack size multiplier, that means we're safe from the stack bug, right?

[bright raptor]

no ark survival evolved not ascended

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[flint oasis]

Ascended is ASA Evolved is ASE 😄

[bright raptor]

im dumb

i thought you said ASA

[flint oasis]

Youre fine I am jsut trying to figure it out is all lmao

[bright raptor]

so whats wrong with this?

or whats going or if i did something

is everyone getting this problem?

[fathom tinsel]

@flint oasis seems to have the same issue.

[bright raptor]

in ASE?

[fathom tinsel]

In ASA. Sorry, I didn't read the thread above.

[bright raptor]

so.... ASA is having that prob too?

[tribal trench]

When trying to join my personal server in ASA, the game tries to join briefly before saying No sessions found and then booting me to the previous menu screen. Any help or thoughts on this issue would be nice.

[fathom tinsel]

At least for one map it seems to be happening after the major release today.

[bright raptor]

what do you mean " Major release?"

[fathom tinsel]

Today was a massive release that changed the version of the game engine as well as huge game fixes and map updates for ASA.
Its all in the #announcements channel

[bright raptor]

oh no...

the engine?

really

[fathom tinsel]

Unreal 5.2 to 5.5

[bright raptor]

oh

so that's the issue?

the engine

[celest halo]

ASE had no updates so who knows whats causing your issues, and i havnt played ASE in a long time to even guess

[short kelp]

Has anyone else been having issues on their own unofficial servers with StackSizeMultiplier not working after the latest update?

[hexed steeple]

yes

[short kelp]

So, known bug at this point?

[hexed steeple]

plenty of people, multiple issues with stack size settings

[manic rivet]

so i tried uupdating everything but nomatter what i do i cant get my server to show up on the ark log in screen

[short kelp]

Perfect, thanks! I assume no known solution then?

[hexed steeple]

I believe so yeah, if the stack size is set to anything above 1, items dont stack right but things like cryopods can stack

well there's a workaround, to use item overrides individually instead of the stack size multiplier

but that's painful asf lol

[short kelp]

Yeah, thats way too much work, I'll just wait til they fix it

[celest halo]

who knows when that will be lol

[hexed steeple]

they seem pretty busy trying to figure out why official keeps crashing on arrival

[last rose]

I have this same issue too

[celest halo]

offical dont use modified stack sizes so WC not going to care all that much to fix it fast

[echo pecan]

what is it because I am still getting the issue even when I restore from a back up

[short kelp]

:/ makes sense. Might just do item overrides for the important/abundant items then. I appreciate the info y'all. Gotta love the updates where they don't even make sure their official servers can run it properly

[maiden canopy]

After updating my server, it no longer appears in the unofficial list

[echo mica]

anyone else getting excessive cpu usage after update? it was perfectly fine yesterday, new update came out and its just locked at 100% cpu usage

[glad pumice]

love how all mods say broken now

[knotty heron]

Not sure if it should be at 100 but Unreal 5.5 allows the game to use all of the available threads.

[bright raptor]

so jsut to clarify for ASE and ASA modding data is gone?

[echo mica]

a game should never be 100% cpu usage. litereally no other app works while ark is running because of it.

[ionic dawn]

Turn out a fix to joining non-dedicated servers is just running the game in admin mode. Probably should have just started with that.

[gentle niche]

yeah i cant even use discord properly -_-

[fathom tinsel]

Nice, good to know. Thanks for reporting back. It's always good to get more info.

[echo mica]

it sucks, especilly becuase while i could just not use another app i dont imagine having ur cpu constantly locked at 100% is good for it.

[ashen slate]

Is there an issue with mods on asa atm?

[celest halo]

lol wouldnt be suppressed if they using a privileged port for it

[ashen slate]

Mine won’t download on console

[hollow ruin]

Are Nitrado servers properly working rn?

[celest halo]

i had 3 streams open and was using discord, while i was playing on my test server, didnt look to see what my cpu was at 😂

[dawn sandal]

Okay... anyone else having an issue with the auto-engram unlocks being active despite never putting them in?

Also, I have access to Genesis 2 gear because of this bug and that stuff isn't supposed to be coded into the game yet... Literally on the beach with a Tek Phase pistol and a Hoversail.

I do have mods but not for THAT.
Any fix for this stuff?

[celest halo]

you using CS

[dawn sandal]

Yea

[echo mica]

i was able to do that yesterday. not anymore tho

[celest halo]

thats why

hotfix for it going to be a little while CF is over loaded

[celest halo]

There is a hotfix being cooked for the Auto Engram and the Mutator, sadly they are extremely busy, so the cook is going to take time.```

[dawn sandal]

Gotcha... It's a bit wild that I have access to Exo Meks and Astrocetus saddles, definitely going to break the game for my community...

[wintry bone]

If this works, I created a google spreadsheet that can help generate the config lines. You can make a copy, adjust the multiplier on page 2 and then copy column D. I can't post a link but maybe I can trick the bot with bit . ly / 4mNVH9J ?

[quasi rivet]

Yes

[fathom tinsel]

#patch-notes message

Update to patch notes. Looks like stacking is fixed.

[regal musk]

ooo ok ill check it out after i try this last thing i wanted to check @wintry bone

[manic rivet]

why cant i see my nitrado server everything is updated

[hexed steeple]

I dont see the update out yet but that is great to hear

[fathom tinsel]

Also various crash fixes @flint oasis you want to see if restarting your server makes the map work again?

[fathom tinsel]

server side

[regal musk]

ooo nice

[mossy cargo]

I can see my server but it’s greyed out so dunno 💁🏼

Nitrado side fine just seems to be an ark issue

[quasi rivet]

I had to start mine from a previous save and it showed up on the list and stopped resetting

[hexed steeple]

I just tried that, said up to date already. I guess I'll give it 10 mins and see

[quasi rivet]

eventually a white/grey "stop server" button appears after it's stuck in the loop long enough, once you hit that button go to the general settings, scroll down a bit to the backup section and there will be an option for "Start with backup" with a drop down menu. Pick the most recent backup, save changes and start the server. It doesn't seem to work if you use the "restore backup" thing from the tools menu. I hope this helps, I'm somewhat new to nitrado but it worked for me.

[flint oasis]

Yeah I saw that they just sent out a patch but it doesnt seem to be on my end yet lol

[celest halo]

Stack size multiplier fix,
Fixed various crashes,

[fathom tinsel]

Fingers crossed. 🤞

[celest halo]

now to wait for steam to get it

[flint oasis]

Yup!

[raw stirrup]

Silly question Is astereos working on nitrado now ? 😅

[agile stone]

Anyone else having a problem transferring suddenly? I'm trying to go from the Center to our Astraeos server and it's literally locking up the screen and doing absolutely nothing.

[fathom tinsel]

There is a open issue apparently with Astraeos not starting right. Not sure if that was fixed in the patch they just released but it looks like it will be a little while before the patch is available to everyone.

[quasi rivet]

The other server probably wasn’t restarted yet 🤷‍♂️

[agile stone]

Thank you for the replies, server shows up and running has for about 40 mins, but I could peek at the server log files and api log to see if anything looks odd. hrmm. Darn I was hoping to check out the "updates" tonight.. hrmm

[fathom tinsel]

Per the #patch-notes channel the patch was probably released in the last few minutes. It could be a while before it is available via the steam network.

[celest halo]

and even longer for it to hit nitrado

[fathom tinsel]

I self host. I was using a tool locally but then decided to buy AMP. It was cheap and works well enough and works for other game servers too.

[celest halo]

i self host also

waits for his bot to say its on steam lmao

[fathom tinsel]

I don't have anything setup like that.. You made it or is it something you are running?

[celest halo]

made

[fathom tinsel]

Something tells me everyone is restarting their servers now since the chat slowed down.

[bleak ivy]

it updated

[quasi pagoda]

halfway through making the stack size exclusion list and the hotfix hits

[celest halo]

made custom bot for my ark cluster 🤣

[bleak ivy]

I hope this fixes my issue. I hope anyway since I have no clue

[quasi pagoda]

I hate regex

[bleak ivy]

nobody has mentioned it here

[gentle sail]

Okay I have a slight issue I go to try and join my ark and it wants me to buy a mod and won't let me on the server but it doesn't even show the mod in the mod list?

[bleak ivy]

probably just curseforge having issues

[fathom tinsel]

chatGPT is suprisingly good at regex if you are good enough at explaining and giving examples.

[agile stone]

Following up: It's a transfer issue, when my character didn't download automatically I logged in direct to that server and download the character and am standing in Astraeos. This is something else.

[quasi pagoda]

I mean I got it done, it just took time

[fathom tinsel]

Might be a "new" issue then. You could try swapping back and forth a couple of times to confirm or restart both servers and see if its still happening.

[ruby arch]

Do stegos not soak plant species x? I tried to soak some and got killed

[quasi pagoda]

It had been like literally 12+ years since I last used it in any real capacity

[fathom tinsel]

Every time I have to use it I get "really good" at it again for like 3 weeks then I completely forget what the heck I was doing 2 months later.

[quasi pagoda]

But I had just finished compiling the list of all vanilla/base-game item IDs to exclude, and just needed to write the wrapper to set stack sizes for all of them

oh well

[celest halo]

ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server (2430930:public)
Released: June 5, 2025 9:02 PM,
Today at 9:06 PM``` 😂

[fathom tinsel]

Is anyone able to confirm if Astraeos is working now and not just going into a reboot loop?
I am still waiting to restart my sever. For reasons.

[agile stone]

Well trying to transfer back was an epic fail, I'm not staring at a crash stack : Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000000000d8 so yeah there's a definite issue.

[fathom tinsel]

ouch 🔥

[agile stone]

I'm gonna try and transfer to other maps instead of from and to Astraeos to see if others are affected

[celest halo]

think most of them people that where testing where on nitrado so it might be little longer for them before they can test

[fathom tinsel]

Fair enough.

[bleak ivy]

my server wouldn't even load any map 😂

its updating now

for some reason if I had an gameusersettings file it just never starts lol.

[celest halo]

i had to restart my test server like 10 times ti get it to download the mods, CF was def having a hard time with all the traffic from servers and users trying to update there mods

[quasi pagoda]

ah yeah Windows is going to have to ban you from the internet for that if you don't let them fix it

[quasi pagoda]

(sorry that error just reminded me of the phone scammers)

[bleak ivy]

still happening

[agile stone]

That's so weird lol. My Astraeos worked fine, but you couldn't transfer through the cluster to it anymore. Character is transferring just fine to the other maps tho, it's just not connecting and loading you in, you literally crash and have to restart the game. I'm gonna try Center to the Island now and see if it's just Astraeos that's the problem or if this is a network wide issue.

[bleak ivy]

no, if I delete the gameusersettings and then start it. it starts fine. but even with that fresh one it then doesn't work.

[fathom tinsel]

Do you have mods or is it mostly vanilla?

[agile stone]

Yup, I'm running 32 mods

[fathom tinsel]

Hummm I might be willing to try restarting mine then. Guess ill do a quick backup and restart.

[celest halo]

oof is it adding ActiveMapMod=0 to it

[gentle niche]

so mods were working fine when i tested bfore but now i get a window pop up for each mod when starting server saying its incompatible with current engine version

[bleak ivy]

doesn't have that at all.

[quasi pagoda]

Alright, time to perform a real stress test -- move a cryopod from a cryofridge to my inventory and back again

[agile stone]

Alright convinced, it's affecting the entire unofficial networking scheme, I can't get to any of the other maps either. Just locks up at Connecting to Destination Server.

[bleak ivy]

checking if I can join it. it fully started after deleting the gameusersettings

[quasi pagoda]

Worlds within worlds! It works!

Hotfix was a success! We can stack things again and cryopods aren't completely broken

[agile stone]

Kinda glad I didn't dig any out to check that yet, I don't need the extra stress 😄

[terse pumice]

Thank you, brave soul for testing.

[flint oak]

Ohh

[bleak ivy]

yeah, it loads fine with it making a fresh one what is the issue with my game

[flint oak]

Please

[flint oak]

No sadly

[gentle niche]

Why are my mods suddenly not loading 😦 all red in the steamCMD window and say incompatible with engine 😦 wth

[celest halo]

no idea, specially if your not edting it at all and it keeps it from starting

[bleak ivy]

does it say old package?

[fathom tinsel]

I don't know if this will work since I have not tested it but you could buy PIA (Private internet access). Then setup port forwards (they don't always work but sometimes do). Then run that on the computer you are hosting the server on and maybe it will let your non-pc friends join even without having to mess with router settings.

That is entirely untested by me so I can't suggest it as a fix but it could work.

[agile stone]

Don't know if the Devs are even watching this channel but:

Unofficial Server Clusters aren't able to transfer between maps.
- The transfer screen pops up, it says Connecting to Destination in green at the top, then it does nothing. 
- The character being transferred does in fact get transferred to the cloud however.
- Tested, Center to Astraeos, Center to the Island, Island to SE, same results.
- Confirmed to work perfectly pre-patch and had been since ASA launched. :P

Hope this helps..

[tardy summit]

Are any of your mods crossplay by chance? I wonder if theres an issue with that. My buddy can get in on pc but not on console.

[gentle niche]

Ive just backed up the whole thing and am re-updating it now, it said something along the lines of mod author needs to update in the pop up window for each mod separately, will check again once its updated

[flint oak]

Ohhh

Ill try but do u have another way

Ill try and try until i can

[fathom tinsel]

I have a lot of ways but it would take time to write up and test. It's also not something that is super easy. Sorry =/ That might be the "easiest" one if it works.

[bleak ivy]

it started the second time when I launched it then. I have no idea what is in my gameusersettings that'd even make it have this "old package" error thats the only thing different in the console

[flint oak]

That was the easiest way??

Ok ok

Another way ill try

And test

[agile stone]

If you'd like a copy of my gus.ini to compare it with I'd be more than happy to supply that for you @bleak ivy

[bleak ivy]

I've been comparing it to the fresh one and I can't see a single thing besides the obvious setting changes.
I've even deleted all the mod settings and its still getting the mod error

[agile stone]

Is it possible that the server manager you're using is putting temporary data into the gus.ini ?

[bleak ivy]

not using a manager

[agile stone]

Hmmm.

[bleak ivy]

Old Package /SuperSpyglassPlus/__Generated/SuperSpyglassPlusShooterWeaponDB not cleaned up by GC! However it's not referenced by any object. It may have a flag set that's preventing it from being destroyed (see log for details):
Old Package /SuperSpyglassPlus/Icons/SSP_Logo not cleaned up by GC! However it's not referenced by any object. It may have a flag set that's preventing it from being destroyed (see log for details):

its this kind of error for every mod I have installed.

and for some reason deleting gameusersettings fixes it

I've deleted the mods folder multiple time and even reinstalled my servers to a new folder

[agile stone]

That almost sounds like you deleted the mod and it found that asset on a map

[celest halo]

mine had that on first start of the world, every start after that didnt have it

[cinder sphinx]

I entered the event thing for the birthday how do I know it works

[agile stone]

Yeah that's I think the message it gives when it tries to purge an invalid asset (old package) from the map, you should be good to boot it without that error any longer.

[bleak ivy]

I didn't copy over the save file just my ini

[bleak ivy]

happens every time I start.

the server doesn't continue to load either.

[agile stone]

pondering .. I dunno then, that's really odd. if you don't have the mod installed and it's a fresh map, have you tried changing the map and booting using that offending gus.ini?

[flint oak]

@fathom tinsel we can talk on dm if you want please

[bleak ivy]

the mods are installed. fresh install

launching center without mods

no errors

[celest halo]

i have a file compare program if you can't find any dif with a fresh and your edited one, can dm them to me and ill see what it says is dif

[agile stone]

Yeah all I can think of would be to switch the maps and see if that keeps coming up, if you don't see that message, I'd reinstall the map itself.

[fathom tinsel]

Send me a DM. Not sure how much longer I am online tonight. I am testing a restart then might be offline for a bit.

[flint oak]

Okkk

[bleak ivy]

adding the mods to center causing it to break too

[agile stone]

Well that kinda isolates it, it's gotta be a mod issue of some sort?

[bleak ivy]

deleted the mod folder and still gets it when its done reinstalling

[agile stone]

after deleting, try verifying files and see if that helps.. Running out of any ideas at this point lol

[bleak ivy]

this time it just stopped in the middle of the errors lol

crashed

it has to just be refusing to properly install the mods.

why removing the gameusersettings fixes it who knows.

[gentle niche]

So when i start my server i get a window that pops up saying this

WARNING: Incompatible Mods

You have activated a mod that is not compatible with the current game version and requires updating by the mod author before it can be loaded

Incompatible Mod: [MOD ID] Mod Name

they all loaded fine before the patch

[bleak ivy]

probably wasn't cooked for UE5.5

or some other issue that mod author needs to fix

[gentle niche]

no i mean the latest patch, they worked initially with 5.5 on my first test 😦

[celest halo]

all mods should of been, CF was auto recooking them all for 5.5 lol

[bleak ivy]

thought it was most if it was all then its probably just curseforge not giving the right one lol

[gentle niche]

So when you start a server it loads them from curseforge?

[agile stone]

Yeah.. and who knows how much of this is their issue.. Having to reinstall all the DLC maps manually, the fact they went lights out in the middle of this chaos.. could be anything.

[fathom tinsel]

ewwww, server restarted. Its on day 1 and content failed to load.
I am going to shut it down for a while.

[bleak ivy]

my issue makes no sense tho why would deleting gameusersettings fix it.
I'm just gonna go line by line to see

[agile stone]

Content Failed To Load is Curseforge for sure. They had it ironed out for a hot minute tho, we were almost all able to get the servers booted.

[agile stone]

Yeah, that's what I'd do, if you still have issues let me know tho, I can give ya my test server .ini verified working and you could piece it back together with that.

[bleak ivy]

wait I found that activemap mod thing. it was added not sure why the search didn't find it

there was also activemods= too

I'm gonna try now

[agile stone]

Ahhhh that may be it

[gentle niche]

just doesnt work for 66.36 patch =/ im assuming deleting my mods folder wont make a difference seems as it loads from curseforge? the actual steamcmd panel says in red letters:

UShooterEngine : : LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that isn't compatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod

[agile stone]

I do the mods via commandline args

[bleak ivy]

that was the issue

[celest halo]

yeah the activemodmap thing makes it stop at the core amount line

[bleak ivy]

I do too.

it added it by itself

[agile stone]

Hahaha yer making me paranoid, I might have to go check my gus.ini on all the maps now lolol

[bleak ivy]

thats what was causing the old package errors too

[gentle niche]

before i get the red error messages above it says no need to update existing mod, mod valid :S

[bold mason]

thats kinda dumb that i would need to do a full reinstall for a patch :/

[bleak ivy]

did that for me too. they were enabled but also disabled probably why it didn't work at all 😂

it was installing and checking the mods, then said the mods shouldn't be there or active

lol

[amber dawn]

if i have a nitrado server how do I enable the birthday event to happen? Do i do it in game as a admin command or do I it on nitrado website

[whole zinc]

Any NEW unnofficial server update available as of right now??

[gentle niche]

what do i do 😭

[bleak ivy]

it should be in the UI eventually. think somebody said the Activeevent=birthday in gameusersettings works but don't know

[amber dawn]

thank you will give it a try!

[bleak ivy]

can try looking at gameusersettings see if it added something that broke it. like activemods=

[celest halo]

CPU sitting at 40% running around on my server with 3 streams going and discord open 😂

[bleak ivy]

now to actually load my save and see if everything explodes

[stuck kettle]

Heya, i may be having an issues with high level dinos spawning. I have my "enable" max difficulty on, "override official difficulty" on 5.0. We did a dino wipe and after killing all dinosaurs on carnivore island thr highest spawn we saw was a 70. Do I have a setting wrong?

[bleak ivy]

how long should it take to close the server down lol. its been like a minute
