[regal musk]

so if i have birthday event enabled i cant find my server but it shows listed without it enabled just me?

[bleak ivy]

are they going up by 5s

actually 70 should only show up on 5s lol.

so yeah, its probably working

[gentle niche]

@bleak ivy after patching to 66.36 most of my inis are missing apart from engine.ini, Game.ini, GameUserSettings.ini and StructUtils.ini

[agile stone]

Yeah I was gonna say, that should be fine, the standard level spread Wildcard uses is a bit funky tho, we use a mod to equalize things a bit more so you see those high level dinos a little more often.

[gentle niche]

Should i just reinstall the whole server from scratch and put my save files, GUS and Game ini in?

[bleak ivy]

servers probably don't need those. they are also gone for me

mine didn't even have game until I added it

[agile stone]

only thing I have is Engine.ini, Game.ini, GameUserSettings.ini and StructUtils.ini 😛

[gentle niche]

well im screwed then 😦

[stuck kettle]

With 5.0 i thought that thr max spawn level was 150. Which means 70 is on the low side of what I would think the average should be. The average spawn age was closer to 40

[bleak ivy]

70 is 14 which is basically in the middle

level distribution especially on story maps are very low

gotta use vanilla with sprinkles or custom dino levels.

[gentle niche]

There is nothing in my GUS when i search for 'mod'
This has appeared at the top however ;METADATA=(Diff=true, UseCommands=true)

[bleak ivy]

yeah, there for me too. its a comment tho so probably can be ignored

it gets added back if you delete it anyway

[celest halo]

mine has it also

[gentle niche]

i just dont get it, the mods loaded fine straight after the big update >.< im assuming the local mod installs have nothing to do with it if its loaded from curseforge?

[runic yew]

My wyvern is wanting me to hand feed it wyven milk, how do I do that? I put it in its inventory force fed it, it didn’t work, I put it in my hot bar and it didn’t work.

[bleak ivy]

it checks the local mods to cf to see if they are correct.

[celest halo]

lol client floods red text when you log off a server

Old Package /ShinyAscended/__Generated/ShinyAscendedPrimalStructureDB 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):

[bleak ivy]

it runs off the local mods

[stuck kettle]

Vanilla with sprinkles? Is thst a mod or a setting?

[gentle niche]

so i could try deleting my mods folder and reinstalling them?

[celest halo]

mod

[bleak ivy]

its a mod. should be better for console/singleplayer since it always ingame setting changes

does more the custom dino levels tho

[bleak ivy]

thats what I'd do first

its the first thing I did when I saw my mod errors lol

[bleak ivy]

kinda funny those are the errors I was getting lol

[gentle niche]

aswell as the ModsUserData folder?

[celest halo]

yeah on server start up, them ones i just got where from the game client when i disconnected from my server lmao

[bleak ivy]

don't know whats actually in there but I did.

[gentle niche]

ok ty i'll give it a shot 🙏

[agile stone]

Gonna grab a quick bowl of pasta, sit down, watch the tube and watch the chaos from my easy chair in the living room haha, bbiab

[gentle niche]

well i just deleted them and it still says the same, no need to update existing mod, then throws the same errors out 😭

maybe i should verify game files, try again, failing that reinstall the server and add my saves and configs?

im dyin over here 😭😭

[onyx gale]

You're not the only one, my servers still won't come up either

[fathom tinsel]

My Astraeos server has not come up clean yet... Though. I start it. It downloads a bunch. I leave it online and I stop it.

I have done this 3 times so far. It seems like its updating new stuff.

[onyx gale]

They are all green and running but fail to broadcast. That's after multiple backups and other attempts

[gentle niche]

weirdest thing is after the errors it appears that the mods are loading assets

[bleak ivy]

not sure. its not even trying to reinstall. maybe cf is not connecting properly or reinstalling could help but if its network related then it probably won't fix it.

[celest halo]

if its Old Package errors just ignore them and see if it fully starts

[gentle niche]

in steamcmd window it says:

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

does that for each mod then a window pops up

[celest halo]

oof

[gentle niche]

the pop up says:

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

for each mod

@celest halo but first it says no need to update existing mod then says mod valid and then throws those erros

[celest halo]

deleting the ModsUserData folder should of made it redownload all the mods

[bleak ivy]

can you DM me the ID list of mods

[gentle niche]

sadly it didnt 😦

[celest halo]

thats where the library.json file is that tells it what version are there

[gentle niche]

they all worked fine just before the 66.36 patch, im so confused

[gentle niche]

in library.json all the install dates are today

ive just put the user data and mods folder back in, maybe if i verify files it will work?

[fathom tinsel]

Wow, ok. I was able to get into my server.

Most of the mods were available but basically everything related to mods are wiped.
Doors are gone, fabs/etc (anything AA) is gone.

Creatures still exist... At least the one's that were not in the storage bins that no longer exist.

May as well just treat it as a wipe at this point.

[smoky glen]

Try to revert to last backup where they were working

[fathom tinsel]

yeah, I am going to wait a few hours and do that. I think part of it is because the mods probably didn't download and install on the startup because of the stress on the CF servers.

[smoky glen]

Yeah that's what I think. It's def happened to me in the past

[young dove]

Why the hell is the Nvidia Image Scaler plugin even loading on the frickin server!?: 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.

[worthy junco]

bummer been able to get my Aberration server to load, but still a no go on my Astraeos server.

[grizzled jasper]

Trying to enter my server and mods doesnt download. They are forever stuck in a limbo. Anyone knows a fix?...

[young dove]

Curseforge likely having an aneurysm right now.

[grizzled jasper]

Damn. Fair

It says 1702 MB / 0 MB lol

[tall raven]

anyone got the 10th aniversary event to work on their dedicated ark ascended server?

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, pretty much just wait a few hours or until tomorrow. My server has GIG's worth of mod's. I mod a lot but some people probably have way more than me.

[grizzled jasper]

I'll do that. Thanks

[fathom tinsel]

Ok, I am going to log for like 3 hours and go watch something not stressful. Maybe things will be working better when I get back. Best of luck to everyone. At least it looks like a lot of crashes are fixed.

[trim yew]

mating interval setting... if i want shorter times do I lower it or raise it? so far it doesnt seem to do anything

[hidden minnow]

is there a work around for the buy a mod that is freemium or just keep trying to load in?

[mighty walrus]

Hello does anyone know if the mods are working yet for unofficial

[sullen sparrow]

Last I checked at 10:54 pm.... No. I'm still getting a lot of mods are not current with the build. It's causing me to give it another day

[mighty walrus]

@sullen sparrow thank u im worried about starting my cluster. I took all mods off exept the stacking mod. I was hoping that one was goin to work after the update lol.

[viscid quest]

Still having issues with the most recent update

[trim yew]

why is my matting interval multiplier is not working... what am i doing wrong? its in the game.ini file... like I used Beacon under ASA settings to set this up... but my dinos are all default timing...

[viscid quest]

What setting in specific did you adjust?

[subtle ingot]

Let Beacon handle everything, don't manually edit files yourself (if you are)

[celest halo]

have not tested that but wouldnt be surprised if WC broke that also

[trim yew]

well i only use beacon to get me the settings, i dont use beacon to control my servers.

ive adjusted MatingIntervalMultiplier=0

ive tried setting it to 0.2 and 0.1 with no change

like 0 would give me instant mating after egg drop type thing

[bronze cypress]

That should be instant

[trim yew]

yeah, and im staring at my dino with 6hrs to go

[celest halo]

you try with new dinos after changing it

[trim yew]

my kid did

[celest halo]

it wont change a timer that was active before the setting was changed

[bronze cypress]

One thing that I missed once is I accidentally set the Apply Official Server Rates when updating my server. It overrides everything so no matter what I had in the ini seemed irrelevant.

[trim yew]

she just said it showed 18hrs

[trim yew]

ive never seen this Apply Official reates...

[mighty walrus]

Ini files are touchy u sure it saved after u changed it?

[trim yew]

shutdown, adjust, save. reload ini to check... then launched

[mighty walrus]

Did u wait the 15 min after save? I know it seems like to wouldn't matter but it does

[tall raven]

I am doing the -activeevent=birthday and its not working? anyone have any ideas?

its in the server arguements / parameters

[trim yew]

interesting... never thought i would have to wait on a local server lol

[mighty walrus]

Lol my bad i should have asked what kind of server. No u shouldn't have to wait.

Check that setting that was mentioned earlier as well.

[remote sinew]

Hi have been running a unofficial server with my friends but now when ever i try to join after this update it just downloading/updating mods indefinitely does anyone know how to i can fix this?

[mighty walrus]

I run a cluster using nitrado and I have to use file zilla to extract everything. U have to wait 5min for server to fully shut down then 15 min after u hit the save lol

@remote sinew that what im afraid of right now. I guess the mods are still broken so u won't be able to use mods.

[trim yew]

ah, i dont use nitrado... havent for like 10yrs now lol... the joys of having your own hardware to run this stuff 😛

[versed minnow]

how do i make it so the structure pickup time is infinite

and also I cant find the new server i just got on ps5 ark survival ascended

[mighty walrus]

@trim yew I wish I had pc good enuf lol

[trim yew]

i got a server with 256gb of ram and 48cores of CPU power

[celest halo]

thats default for ASA

[olive talon]

If you just bought it, give it time for the initial setup. At least 30 minutes to an hour

[versed minnow]

even with pve off?

[versed minnow]

okay thanks. its says its online but obviously that just like a visual

[mighty walrus]

@trim yew nice!!! Yeah my pc would break if I tried to run a local server lol

[olive talon]

If it's nitrado especially, you must give it time for the initial setup, it should tell you that in the general tab before setting it up also

[versed minnow]

okay thank you

[azure fern]

I am using ASCT to run my unofficial server even though ive updated ark and updated the servers its still saying mods incompatible but the mods are showing theyve been upgraded is there a problem with curseforge atm?

[tall raven]

I should see recipes in my cooking pot if the event is active correct?

[paper gate]

guys i need some help, whenever i create a non dedicated server and try to invite a friend the button doesnt work and it just highlights it blue. does anyone know how to fix this?

[turbid shuttle]

Smithy

[bold mason]

no clue but its forcing me to fully reinstall all of my servers, its stupid as hell.

[tall raven]

Thank you, if only I knew this 2 hours ago 😭

The event has been working this whole time dang it

[celest halo]

yeah they changed it with ASA all events have been the smithy

[tall raven]

curse my ogness

[azure fern]

I am using ASCT to run my unofficial server even though ive updated ark and updated the servers its still saying mods incompatible but the mods are showing theyve been upgraded is there a problem with curseforge atm

[tall raven]

You running a poweredge server? any hypervisor? I got my poweredge with 800gb of ram and 48 cores running this from proxmox & pterodactyl panel

[viscid quest]

gah dam. whats the cpu?

[bold mason]

r740xd with 256gigs ram and 16cores total. i wanna put better processors in it.

and more ssd storage.

[deft lily]

Is transferring within a cluster broken for consoles?

[trim yew]

hp proliant dl360p Gen8 with xeon E5-2697(dual CPU) total combined 48cores

[viscid quest]

How’s the performance with ASA servers? Clock speed is on the lower side so curious to know performance wise

[trim yew]

mines just running normal windows 10 pro, and I use AMP to manage all my ark servers, my buddies on the east coast use ptrerodactly for their ark cluster

[trim yew]

never had performance issues, even when I ran it on a micro pc with 16gb of ram and a core i5 lol

[viscid quest]

That is really interesting. What kind of servers do you run?

I have always used the rule of 3.2ghz or higher

[trim yew]

well, my HP server runs my Atlas server of 81 server grids... I have a MacPro2,1(DDR2 memory with 32GB) runs my 7dtd, and ASE cluster and Minecraft server... micro pc #1 runs RUST and the other micro pc runs American Truck Sim, another 7TDT server

when i want to play my own ASA server, i close out some Atlas grids lol

[viscid quest]

Dam that’s sick. In house hosting or data center

[trim yew]

in house

[tall raven]

Sick dude

[viscid quest]

What kind of networking do you use? Commercial internet or standard consumer? That’s amazing

[trim yew]

standard consumer as i live in a house and the ISP here dont give Commercial internet... like i really want a Static IP, but noooo i need to have business internet which i cant get....

our plan provids 2.5GB download and upload

[tall raven]

I would kill for a static ip lol

[viscid quest]

Ahh. Some sort of dynamic dns setup then? I feel like it would be easier for a static for them

[tall raven]

changing my dns records everytime my provider has down time and my ip changes is annoying

[trim yew]

no, my network really is just using default settings... my ubiquiti unifi switch does a lot

[tall raven]

unifi is the way

[junior moat]

Anyone having problems playing official modded on console

[trim yew]

yeah i went with a 24 port PRO edition... then i had to add another 24 ports lol

[viscid quest]

Curseforge is still having major issues so prob

[junior moat]

Dam

[viscid quest]

Also doesn’t help we are going into the weekend so who knows what their weekend staff is like

[tepid berry]

Any other widely received reports about people crashing when xferring between servers in a cluster?

It's probably a mod causing it, but just wanted to be sure.

[tepid berry]

Just get a domain name; most have fast DNS updates and a dynamic client. Then it doesn't matter what your IP is, their DNS will resolve it. OR -- you can purchase static IPs with a VPS that allow forwarding through SSH/VPN/Wireguard

[azure fern]

It turns out its just my aberration server havibg issues with the mods anyone else havibg issues with aberration

[smoky glen]

It's happening with two machines on my end for my cluster. Haven't seen others talk about it yet but I also haven't been checking for a bit

[spice wyvern]

I’m unable to switch to ab or scorched. Stuck on The Center

[smoky glen]

It just keep crashing when you try? I click transfer, game hard crashes, then when I start the game I can pick what server to join and just download my character on it. Haven't tried just downloading and switching servers yet

[agile stone]

You should be able to transfer the character to the cloud and then you have to log directly into the server you're trying to reach, the transfers aren't bringing your character over and changing sessions to the new map. So log onto that target server, download the character, and viola you're there. 🙂

I'm sure eventually they'll hear us and fix it, haven't heard a murmur from the Devs that they acknowledge it, but I'm sure they've been informed at this point.

[spice wyvern]

I haven’t tried that yet. Just been having the game hard crash every time I try to switch

[agile stone]

In any case, I'll worry bout that tomorrow and check back in, time for bed here 😄

[smoky glen]

Glad to know it's multiple people so chances are it don't be too too long until they fix it and there is a work around that's better than having someone kill your took like when ext came out

[smoky glen]

good night!

[latent rune]

Are the astraeos map/servers working?

[half hound]

I have. ~40 mods, 5 servers in cluster. Island/Extinction both start and then hang loading the map. If I reset the save, it loads fine. Scorch starts as-is. Tried validating (Island), redownloading mods (Island), several different backups from the past couple days. Just hangs at: Added Explorer Note Entry: DEARJANE_EXP_NOTE_7

It does say that, yes.

Yes, with no mods and old save, it hangs at the same line.

[young dove]

I'm pretty much done messing around with my cluster and I'm going to wait a few more days to see what happens. Catastrophically bad release, zero testing and QA done, but it's pretty much expected from Wildcard/Snail at this point. My instances won't even come online due to: 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. Because you totally need the Nvidia Image Scaler on the damn server which does exactly zero graphics rendering...

[half hound]

I poked around in ArkViewer and it loads the .ark file fine, but not much of a test - it could just easily be ignoring bad data, though it seems like everything is complete. I've been at it a few hours so I'm going to hope for another update that fixes it. 🙂 I also have regular backups, so I can work backwards through saves and see if I can get something to load. You mentioned "No machine id was found" - is that what you're seeing?

Same. It keeps going, gets mods as needed, loads them and then hangs. I could kind of see one map getting corrupted, but Island and Extinction are doing the same thing, yet Scorch loads fine. I can try Abb/Center but we usually don't play on those so I haven't bothered updating them yet. (Same mods on all.)

[fathom tinsel]

Ok, been a couple of hours. Things improved at all? I restored from backup and I am about to spin up again. Is CF still half broken?

Humm, Going to start the server again I guess. See how far it gets. I can restore from backup in a minute or two if it's still broken AF though.

I am still trying to get Astraeos working. I was able to get it going last time but the mods failed and it kind of nuked most of the server.

[smoky glen]

Some of us were getting that earlier too #unofficial-setup-help message . I was able to get mine to work after CF started working again earlier but idk if that was the cause and idk how CF is doing rn

[fathom tinsel]

CF seems to be a very unstable external dependency. It's a shame. I remember problems with Steam Workshop but not as bad as with CF.

[smoky glen]

Yeah. It's down more than I'd like and with updates like this I feel like it can't take the traffic.

[young dove]

Because they've done the game development equivalent of letting one rip in a closed room with all their customers trapped inside and are likely too embarrassed to say anything...

[fathom tinsel]

It is unfortunate. They just don't seem to be able to handle a major release like this requiring gigabytes of downloads per server/client when it happens.

[half hound]

This afternoon CF was an issue but after a couple hours it seems like it's been fine - I've cleared mods a few times to force it to download them and it's been fine, seemingly.

[fathom tinsel]

Good News! I was able to start my Astraeos server without issues and it looks like nearly all mods worked. Bad news, I did something stupid immediately after logging in so I am rolling it back, giving it a half hour and will start it again.

The autodoors mod worked and it looks like all of my creatures were in the right places. I think most of the other mod structures were loaded too but I am going to give it a bit before I try again.

No, my Tranq mod seems to not be working and I had a wild dino spawned in the base where it was not possible to spawn before and I agroed everything... It sounds stupid but its easier for me to just restore from backup than to fix the rest of it x.x

I am just running a normal startup but I use AMP, its ran in a container on a linux server.
Waiting seems to be part of the trick, start it, give it like 15 min then try to log in. I was stopping it early I think before and it was messing things up and mods didn't get loaded but some of the map did and it broke a ton of my structures/mods.

Also, I don't have the celebration/birthday even enabled yet. I want to make sure everything is working before I enable that.

[delicate anchor]

Anybody had the message about purchasing mods popping up when trying to load in?

[fathom tinsel]

@summer hamlet restored from backup, restarted the server. Looks like all is well.

Yeah, I am set to day 1 but otherwise all of my structures are here and all of my MOD structures are here (before they were all gone including dinos that were stored in them).

I have stuff like the AA mods, Super spyglass, Kibble machine, etc... All of them appear to be working right now.

Stacking looks like its working too, I have a stacking mod as well.

Overall, It feels like the server is working as expected. Going to run around a little but I think it's in good shape.

[lone coyote]

So do restart from backup?

[fathom tinsel]

I am on PC with dedicated.
I stopped the server, restored to a backup that was right before the patch.
Started the server, waited 15-ish minutes for it to fully update/patch/etc (I am on fiber internet so it was fast, if you are not it probably will take way longer). Then I logged in and it is working as expected. YMMV.

[trim yew]

i just use duckdns to simplify the name if i dont want to use IP lol

[fathom tinsel]

Good idea. If you buy a domain from namecheap you can have it auto-update your IP to the domain with a program running on the computer you use as your server. That way you get a custom domain too. Its like $14/yr.

[fleet oyster]

anyone know of a stacking mod that's working after the update?

[minor canopy]

Hi guys so ive got an dedicated server. Updated and restarted the maps but no one can join? Also see none of the mods will update too

[delicate anchor]

Same problem

[fathom tinsel]

Mine is, let me get the mod number.

[fleet oyster]

ooo, much appreciated

[urban pelican]

anyone on Xbox having an issues where the mods get updated but still say invalid?

[exotic orbit]

I am trying to activate the birthday event on my servers with the -ActiveEvent=Birthday option and it doesn't seem to be working

[fathom tinsel]

Where are you hosting it, how are you launching it?

[exotic orbit]

I host my own servers and the logs show the correct command line arg when it lists the command line used to start the server

[fathom tinsel]

Windows/Linux/Docker? Etc.

Also, can you paste what the launch options look like in the logs? PW and such excluded obviously.

[exotic orbit]

Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

[2025.06.06-05.09.30:252][ 17]Commandline: TheIsland_WP?listen?SessionName="Old Timers PVE Cluster - The Island"?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=xxxx?ServerPassword=xxxx?ServerAdminPassword=xxxx -Port=xxxx -WinLiveMaxPlayers=30 -clusterid=xxxxx -servergamelog -servergamelogincludetribelogs -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs -AutoDestroyStructures -EnableIdlePlayerKick -ActiveEvent=Birthday -mods=xxxx

[fathom tinsel]

It is probably case sensitive (maybe?) Try "-Activeevent=birthday"
At least that is what the announcment post says to use. I have not activated yet since I was trying to get my server to start at all x.x

[exotic orbit]

Ok will try that I was taking the option from another post about the birthday event but I will try this other capitalization for it

[fathom tinsel]

Cool, I hope it works. Let us know if it does.

[compact forge]

Seems that traveling between maps is broken 🤔 Sometimes game crashes (noticed this at least on Astraeos, SE and Extinction) and sometimes game says that your character is already in other map when trying to travel from other map to other.

[trim yew]

thats not terrible, but i can get domains for $2/yr lol

[fathom tinsel]

Heh yeah, if they offer some way to dynamically update the IP or you have a local tool that can do it, Go for it man. Custom Domain and always updated.

[fathom tinsel]

Someone else posted this earlier but it seems like moving between servers is in a bad place right now and I would not suggest doing it.

[compact forge]

Yep. Thats why I restored backup before I traveled between maps. Because sometimes it seems to be working.

[fathom tinsel]

Backup, Backup again, then you know. Take another backup.
3-2-1. Send some of them offsite too.
Can't be too careful.

[compact forge]

Indeed. "Nice" to see new problems even after 10years hosting ARK servers 😄

[fathom tinsel]

Hah. I would laugh if I called this new 😉 Then again. Good to find other tech nerds when you can.

ZFS snapshots used to be my preferred method. x.x

[compact forge]

True, there was some traveling problems before but different kind of error messages 😄

[exotic orbit]

Looks like changing to what you gave me worked so it is case sensitive it seems

[fathom tinsel]

Happy to hear it! Glad I could help out.
It seams really stupid for it to be case sensitive being's that it's a "windows" app... Just you know.. You know.

[exotic orbit]

Yeah I agree

[fathom tinsel]

I want my *nix binaries again. Oh well. Guess we are stuck in the middle.

[exotic orbit]

Oh one thing we found out with our servers is custom food and water recipes are broken and stack sizes won't increase beyond 20 just FYI

Minor issue we are dealing with but nothing we can do about it

[fathom tinsel]

Have not seen that yet but we don't use custom food/water stuff. When I was logged into my server earlier my stacks were going fine with the mod I have though.

TG Stacking Mod 10000-90
Mod ID: 929110

[versed minnow]

are you able to join servers with mods even with the curseforge issue because i cant join mine

[exotic orbit]

Was replacing ItemStackSizeMultiplier because of the dupe and though it was something with that using the overrides but we put the global multiplier back on and it was still broken

[fathom tinsel]

Server probably needs to restart. CF seems like its more or less working now.

[small ice]

Are the unoffi Server still Not Working i sleept for 7h any Infos ?

[versed minnow]

my mods still say invalid and dont properly install when im trying to join the server

[fathom tinsel]

I sent the mod I use to someone else earlier. Seems to be working for me. They patched out the stack problem that was breaking stuff.
TG Stacking Mod 10000-90
Mod ID: 929110

[exotic orbit]

Yeah we saw that and was why we added it back in to see if it would work as we were using that originally

[versed minnow]

but they all let me use them in single player

[exotic orbit]

We moved away from stacking mod so if it ever breaks it won't destroy our servers

[small ice]

?

[fathom tinsel]

Someone mentioned deleting a modinfo file or folder or something to force it to re-download mods. I can look for the post but maybe it would fix it for you?

[exotic orbit]

My servers are starting to come up and are working with our mods just fixing the birthday event so it is working

Also testing cluster transfers to see if it is working for us as others are reporting problems

[fathom tinsel]

Several people have reported that server transfers are not working. Be warned. x.x

[exotic orbit]

We haven't released our servers back to the players yet testing it before we do

[wild geode]

So it says to restart on nitrado and I did but server just wont pop up. Do I have to update the server or something?

[north sparrow]

so, its safe to start servers now, or still some critical problems?

[fathom tinsel]

At least in my case it seems like I am good to go. Just don't shut it down until it is fully updated (mods included) even if the logs are not saying anything. Let it sit but also make sure you have good backups first in the event you need to roll back.

Depending on your internet connection you should give it at least 30 min before trying to shut it down if it does not seem to be online or it might just be partially updated and some mods might fail and cause problems.

[versed minnow]

well im on ps5

so idk if that would work

[north sparrow]

we r on 2Tbit optic, servers off since they turned off officials and still waiting, now im about to update servers (we have backed up all maps) so i wanted to know if its safe or still no 😄

[fathom tinsel]

Ah, sorry. I am PC and don't have a PS. The only thing I can suggest is to do whatever version of verifying files it has or do a re-install or just waiting until tomorrow =/

[fathom tinsel]

If you want to DM me you can attempt to join my server (not create a char so you don't lose yours) and see what you think? I will have it online for another half hour before I shutdown for the night.

Also, can I move where you live. I don't think 2Tbit optic is a thing 😉 Guessing you intended 2gb fiber.

[versed minnow]

okay hopefully it is fixed soon

[oak sorrel]

Do we have any news when it comes to the problem that involves downloading the mods?

[fathom tinsel]

Not that I have seen. Nice to see you again.
The mods are downloading fine for me but I am in USA.
I am sure CF is having problems with their distribution network and it might be until at least tomorrow before things are working as expected.

[oak sorrel]

Its nice to see you again too damnit, im playing it on my xbox and they aren't working there since it says that every mod are invalid when downloading them while they were up to date before downloading them

[fathom tinsel]

Sucks to hear that. Honestly, at this point I think just waiting a day is probably the fix =/

[oak sorrel]

Yeah, me and my friends will need to play without mods on the server until the mods work

[fathom tinsel]

I just hope everything is fixed for the weekend. I guess it might already be the weekend for you though.

[oak sorrel]

Hope so, yeah it is early Friday morning right now

[oak sorrel]

I'm glad that the server finally works at least

[spice wyvern]

Can’t do map transfers but all of our other mods work except for the improved egg incubator

[oak sorrel]

The suffering i went through thx to this ark server xD

[exotic orbit]

So I was able to confirm transfers are not working on our cluster either we tried many times and each time the client froze or crashed when trying to transfer and when you logged back in you were in upload on the server you were trying to transfer from

[fathom tinsel]

At least it works now-ish. You also know what to do for all other games in the future if you want to self-host. I would say that is a well earned win!

[oak sorrel]

Yeah, it really is

[fathom tinsel]

Always feel free to dm me in the future, even if it's not ark stuff and just random computer stuff.

[exotic orbit]

We shutdown our servers until they can fix the transfer issue but everything else was working so that is one positive including the birthday event

[oak sorrel]

Would love to, is it ok if I add you as a friend?

[fathom tinsel]

Yes, please do!

[oak sorrel]

Sent!

[young dove]

Any solution anyone have for this: 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.

[fathom tinsel]

I have not seen that one. Not sure what to do about it =/

[young dove]

Happens every time I start the server.

[fathom tinsel]

Other details? Map, Other errors, etc?

[young dove]

Rather, servers.

[fathom tinsel]

Does the server eventually "just work" anyway?

[young dove]

Aberration, Astraeos, Tharat, and Extinction.

For some dumb reason, the server is trying to load client-side graphics libraries.

[fathom tinsel]

Do you maybe have client-only mods trying to load on the server?
Specifically cosmetic mods.

Quick test would be to remove all mods then see if you still get the error (on one map) then start adding back mods 2-3 at a time. If it fails, then cut down one at a time.

[young dove]

I'll have to pilfer through all of them and see but I don't think so.

mods=929868,929713,912815,926259,928708,929506,946266,928824,927131,1149214,912902,955932,928597,930494,947033,941697,928793,954788,932312,929912,945883,930404,928501,930684,930032,930442,939604,930115,927091

[fathom tinsel]

I don't think I have seen it but I am not sure. It could be a mod thing. Try what I suggested with 1 map and see what happens?

ugg, I am going to have to make a tool to parse CF mod numbers. It is such a PITA to get a number list to try to look through x.x

I suggest removing all of them on one map. Start it up. If it works, great. Then add 3-4 of them. If it fails, remove one mod until it starts again.

[upper anchor]

Did it work if you removed the autodoors mod?

[fathom tinsel]

Take a backup before doing all of that though.

[young dove]

Oh I have backups of backups of backups.

[fathom tinsel]

Nope, was not a problem for me.

[young dove]

Been dealing with Wildcard's nonsense since Evolved.

[upper anchor]

I'm trying to load a backup thats older than the update but it just hangs on the

[2025.06.06-06.06.00:547][ 16]2025.06.06_06.06.00: [AutoDoors] Mod Loaded

[fathom tinsel]

I have been around since release day of evolved. It sucked to play a slideshow when I could not afford a stupidly expensive GFX card back in the day x.x

[fathom tinsel]

Looks like it loaded fine.. I would give it 5-10 min just to be sure and try joining it? It seems like autodoors is one of the last mods that loads no matter where I put it in the file.

[young dove]

The joke was on us anyway, because even if you did have a stupidly expensive GPU, it still ran like crap. It still does even wtih Ascended. I have an RTX4090 and I maybe see 40-50FPS.

[upper anchor]

Yeah except afterwards it just ends up stuck in a hang (nitrado)

[fathom tinsel]

I had friends that had $800 gfx cards and were happy with their 40-50FPS. I was living on 20-35 with everything in the world turned down to the lowest. Yet, I am still here... WC, Some of us never left. Maybe you should hire some of us 😉

[fathom tinsel]

Oh, since its nit I am not sure. I self host. It might be worth shutting it down for a half hour then spinning it up. You might be getting put on a busy cluster or something and it's impacting it.

[young dove]

OH we all still play. Nearly 4000 hours into Evolved and coming up on 1000 in Ascended. I run my own servers locally on my server rack here at the house. I have ARK on a Dell PowerEdge R630 with twin 8 core CPUs, 128GB RAM, and NVME storage. Currently running 4 maps in a cluster.

[fathom tinsel]

Yep. People like us. Sent A FR.

[young dove]

Accepted. Guess I'm going to go watch the back of my eyelids though. It's 2AM and I have work in the morning.

[fathom tinsel]

Acceptable. I too probably should log but I probably won't because people like us don't sleep much and you are ahead of me in the time zones. Looking forward to chatting more in the future though.

[young dove]

I've spent most of tonight trying to actually compile the missing shader module for the server using UnrealEgine 5.5.4 and Visual Studio 2022, just to get it to stop crashing with that error. No joy there though.

[exotic orbit]

HAHA LOL I was running Ark cluster on an Dell FX2S enclosure and FC630 blade until recently when I built a new rack mount server with a Threadripper now we have a 8 server cluster running on it

[young dove]

Well I was virtualizing it on my ESXi host but found the server didn't perform quite as well. So I just bought the server it runs on for a few hundred bucks off ebay and it seems to do fine. Everything else I have goes on the ESXi host.

[fathom tinsel]

When the hell did you get a FX2? Surplus or something?

I need more friends like these.

[exotic orbit]

Ebay got lucky someone was selling a used one as server decommission for $7k full populated with 4 FC630 blades

[fathom tinsel]

MF*********
I would love to luck into that. I ran one of those. Damn thing cost over 90k.

[young dove]

You can buy a lot of that stuff on Ebay. A lot of liquidations, off lease hardware, etc. I think I only paid $500 or so for my R720 and it's got twin six core Xeons, 384GB RAM, I have 8TB of NVME, 4TB of FusionIO, and another 10TB of RAID-50 storage on it, plus some Tesla P40s for some light LLM AI stuff. Works fine for what I do and doesn't hike the power bills or sound like a fighter jet taking off.

[fathom tinsel]

I have decommed a lot but yeah, I know. Most of my stuff is off-lease. I downsized the homelab for reasons and until I move I am not upscaling again. Maybe I will get lucky to get some stupid gear. Company want's to decom two isilons, maybe I can convince them to just let me have them if I fly out and decom and ship them myself....

[young dove]

I used to run a full 42U rack way back in the day. In California. I stopped doing that right around the time I got the first power bill and a subsequent visit from the San Diego police department. The power company snitched on me to the police under the assumption that I was running a grow-op out of my house because my power bill shot up by several orders of magnitude from previous months. This was before things were "legalized"..

[fathom tinsel]

Oh that is funny as hell. sorry that happened but I can see why. These would probably be newer and lower rack space, higher density. Still could use the waste heat to heat half the house in the winter though probably.

Maybe I would do a LTT thing and use it to help heat a outdoor pool or water feature (pool would not really fly with where I want to live though).

[arctic sentinel]

My Nitrado server wont shop up anymore I bought it 2 days ago and it won’t let me in today any help?

[fathom tinsel]

Best bet is a support ticket with Nitrado. Maybe something to do with the release today or something?
You could always try shutting it down for 10 minutes, starting it, then waiting 20-ish minutes to try to join it (the updates are huge and take time).

[arctic sentinel]

Alright thanks

[exotic orbit]

I don't run servers for work I do software development for Juniper Networks now and I have servers and hardware in a mobile rack that is about 10U in size at my house but I have worked in data centers that have full 42U racks full of core Internet routers like PTX5k and MX960s

[silver goblet]

Hello Astraeos still won't show up in the server list are we still waiting on a patch coz I see others have it so I'm confused

[compact forge]

Use battlemetrics website to see if your server is online. But I think that your server is in restart loop. You may need to restore backup before server update.

[compact forge]

Your own server?

[silver goblet]

Yes

[compact forge]

Nitrado?

[silver goblet]

Yup again

[compact forge]

Then look what I replied to The King

[silver goblet]

Yeah thanks it must still need a patch its been showing up as active since yesterday I've done everything I can will just have to wait 😭

[compact forge]

Nitrados interface for server owners are bad. Or it was when I was using it. System shows that server is active even that server is in restart loop. And that does not get fixed wo you fixing it 😬

[gaunt berry]

Anyone getting a timeout when joining there server and mods keep saying invalid so I'm guessing they not been updated to the ue 5.5. And im guessing i have to wait a bit longer.

[compact forge]

Mod is broken if you see invalid txt in mod menu. You need to uninstall mod from your system and install it back

[round patio]

Anyone able to get into [AUS] Ark Dads Gaming Cluster The Center?

[gaunt berry]

That's the thing I have and before i went to bed I uninstall the whole game last night.

Everytime i join it keeps installing all mods again.and then it says I am joining then boom connection timeout

I'm gunna reinstall the whole server if that's the case. It might work it might not.

[abstract yew]

anyone know how to fix the no machine id thing on my own dedicated server?

[trail verge]

anyone has issues with ammo counter not showing on weapons since update?

[knotty heron]

So, someone helped me in another Discord but since uninstalling the Anomalocaris mod my server came back up.

[foggy plume]

Are there any mods that work?

[knotty heron]

The rest of mine work just fine.

[glad shadow]

Is nintrado still the only server supply

[foggy plume]

They're all coming up invalid

[abstract yew]

my server is slow asf and everytime there a enemy structure in my base but all of the structures are mine

they did really f up with the update

[jaunty vortex]

You can rent a bare windows server and run your own install.

[abstract yew]

build a homeserver and make servers run on that that way you dont have to rent or anything

[jaunty vortex]

That’s what I do. Ryzen 5700G CPU with 128GB of RAM and nvme storage.

[sweet rapids]

is -Activeevent=birthday the only thing I need to do to enable the bday event?

[versed minnow]

i still cant get into my modded server on ps5

[glad shadow]

I cant do that unfortunately

[sweet rapids]

hmm my console says No machine id was found what's going on?

[pearl token]

Anyone getting crashes after the update? and really delayed mouse movement as if framegen is on, when it isnt?

[raw stirrup]

Anyone know if astereos is working on nitrado now ?

[pearl token]

why...

Nice

[waxen summit]

Has the issue with the mods on Xbox been resolved?

[pearl token]

Framegen is the worst thing to be given to the gaming industry

[grizzled jasper]

This its not in all servers. Its Nitrado aware?...

[frigid vine]

Morning! Anyone else has problems with server-transfer? Game (pc/steam) is instantly crashing somethings. 8 of 10 transfers are crashing. (Vanilla Server, active bday event)

[slow crane]

Is curseforge still not working for nitrado servers

[mighty coyote]

anyone on Nitrado server that has made the birthday event work?

[raw stirrup]

Cant get my nitrado server to show uo for astereos let alone think about events 😂

[mighty coyote]

oh, really. My server is up and running with the update all fine. but the event is no where to be seen for me

[raw stirrup]

For the event im oretty sure theres a command line you have to do as nitrado havent added it to the interface yet

[mighty coyote]

-Activeevent=birthday this one, is what i found. but doesn't seem to do the trick for me. it should be in the gamefile.ini i ssuppos

[raw stirrup]

Nah i think its the command line have you done the enablecheats line first probably have to do that first on nitrado server

[agile stone]

Peeks in.. it’s -activeevent=birthday in your command line arguments, is transferring working again?

[high forge]

There is a setting in the nitrado UI under events you enable it there.

[mighty coyote]

oh thanks, they added it now. i didn't ssee it yesterday when i was pulling my hair in frustration. Thanbks

[agile stone]

Gonna take that as a solid NO.. I see no new patches since going to bed and at 5am guess I don’t blame them lol. Back to sleep for me!

[grizzled jasper]

Not on all maps

[round birch]

anyone with a suggestion why i cannot transfer maps on my home dedi cluster after the 5.5 update? iit worked before, just checked everything and it is correctly written. What happens is i try to transfer and the game drops out completly and crashes to desktop

[mighty coyote]

Works for me now. party dodos in place on updated asstreaos smap

[green tangle]

Anyone have problem with server?

[dry badge]

is there a way to make sure the event is on our server? we’ve added it via nitrado and through commands and did kill all wild dinos but i spent a LONG time looking for part fico and never found one.

[green tangle]

[API][CRITICAL] ?

[mighty coyote]

i just activated the even now @dry badge and found like 5 party dodoss within 2 minutes on the beach starting area

[dry badge]

what steps did you do???😭

[mighty coyote]

under event, high up under general settings. Drag down menu and selevt the birthday even

restart, and bam work

i guess you should also ssee that it's an event by crazy dino colors

[dry badge]

we found that setting on the app that we didn’t see in the website! tysm

[narrow kindle]

Anyone running their own server did you see a massive spike in RAM usage after the update ?
My Ab serverver went from ~9GB -> 18.3GB of ram, we have minimal mods installed

[dawn plinth]

i keep getting the below on Island, SE and Extinction maps?
Centre, Aberration and Astra seem to be working, on the same server, which is weird.. no mods too and no events

looks like a corrupt update.. copying the folder of a working one and replacing the save and config, it started working

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

[toxic hazel]

I'm not using plugins or mods and get this hahaha

[hazy sun]

I am unable to update any of my mods in PlayStation, i press the button to update and it just doesn’t work is there anything i can do

[dry badge]

with the event, what do unofficial servers actually get? do we get the cake slices for breeding and taming? or is that just for official servers like the 2x?

[mossy cargo]

Anyone know why ram is super high ?

[hardy pelican]

anyone know how to fix "plugin 'NIS' failed to load because module 'NISShaders' could not be found

[left citrus]

Reinstall your server

[toxic hazel]

I tried this but no workky 😦 I'll try it again

[hardy pelican]

yeah i did that already too

my other servers don't have the issues

[toxic hazel]

Only 1 of my servers dont have this issue haha the other 5 do lol

[hardy pelican]

oof

[toxic hazel]

Beeg Ooofff

[dawn plinth]

i copied the folder of a working one and replaced the saves/configs and worked

[hardy pelican]

i'll try that now then

[toxic hazel]

Whyyy did i no think of this hahahaha

[toxic hazel]

Thank youuu 🙂 all good now

[lost plinth]

Anyone else having issues with mods? On the game it says all the mods I have are invalid…

I’ve updated the server on Nitrado and my game is upto date as well…

[toxic hazel]

Clean the mods folder and let them redownload

[lost plinth]

Already done that… :/

[toxic hazel]

Then said mods not updated for 5.5 likely

[lost plinth]

My wife was on last night with the same mods 😩

[toxic hazel]

And the game updated last night lol

For 5.5

[lost plinth]

Yeah I mean after the update…

She had no issues and I’m trying to get on today and can’t 😂

[toxic hazel]

So its a client issue then im guessing, redownload em on your client

How i can fix

[heady leaf]

Hello, does anyone have private servers with Nitrado and mods and the server works? My problem is that when I install even one mod, the servers stop working and I don't know why

[toxic hazel]

There are also mods issues for xbox and console said CF so this could be playing a part

[brisk topaz]

Center is broken? Mine doesn't want to start

[iron bronze]

Mine is up just fine. All my servers are. Are you on Netrado?

[lost plinth]

Yeah Nitrado

[raw stirrup]

currently having same issue i havent tried taking mods off yet doing them one by one to see if i can have some at least xD

[lean ore]

Currently we have problems with traveling in cluster (root server).
Anyone know a workaround to fix them?

Had fresh installed all servers and restore the save Ark files (also the MAP_WP folder)

[jovial walrus]

Is it all uofficielle server with nitrado that has problems?

We cant get our s up

[brisk topaz]

Yes, all map is fine except Center

[raw stirrup]

try removing all mods

think its the mods that breaks them im currently having to do the same

[jovial walrus]

And our players will loss a lot we cant do that

[raw stirrup]

mine doesnt show in server list at all with mods so just trying now without

[raw stirrup]

then i guess its just a waiting game for problems to be fixed

[iron bronze]

Yea, I think Nitrado servers are having issues at the momment...maybe talk to them? Tho, they are probably working on it

[compact forge]

Same here. Does your game crash when trying to travel or getting error message?

[brisk topaz]

Yep, did you got some issue when you try to travel on another map?

[lean ore]

you got a window where you can always accept the message ... otherwise no chance to close the server list screen.
Then you got a crash

[iron bronze]

Yea...my game freezes up completely and I have to end task...that is defiantly a game issue sadly...only tried to transffer to AS tho

[compact forge]

I get sometimes message "Cannot upload, Survivor already uploaded" 😄

[brisk topaz]

Okay thanks! Got the same here

[raw stirrup]

anyone able to acc see the nitrado server for astraeos ive removed all mods started from a fresh wipe still cant get it to appear it server list

[compact forge]

Look what battlemetrics says about your server. Nitrados interface is bad. If your server is example on restart loop battlemetrics has txt something like that "server not responding" or "server does not respond queue"

[coral igloo]

An issue with Evolved server: A friend is self-hosting a dedicated server, and we are trying to use OverrideNamedEngramEntries to get certain engrams that go beyond our level cap normally (like tek bow, phase pistol), we've come up with a setup that works in single player, however it makes no difference when applied to the server, even after a restart. Any idea why that might be?

Example of what we have: OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekBow_C",EngramHidden=False,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramLevelRequirement=105, RemoveEngramPreReq=True)

Additionally, we use custom settings for taming/breeding, and ConfigOverrideSupplyCrateItems for certain drops, which work perfectly fine on both single player and on the server, so the game ini isn't being ignored completely.

Both are placed under "[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]" inside DefaultGame ini

[raw stirrup]

okay thank you will have a look at that all nitrado says on help page is to do a reinstall of the game slowly giving up hope with nitrado been with them since evolved tho :/

@compact forge i went on there found my server and it says online but still doesnt show on server list i have no idea why taken all the mods off as well in case it was those

[indigo violet]

We had to go to last save files to find one that would work when our server wouldn’t show in the list but it was showing as online. Then we had that patch now it’s off again so we are going to try that method again today. Plus we have to fix our stacking, lost more than half of things outside a dedi

[raw stirrup]

see we wanted to do a fresh start so ive just tried starting with wiped save file and then it has now appeared

[slow crane]

Deleted all of the mods off .y nitrado server and it still won't start 😆

[raw stirrup]

try loading from a back up or for me i had to start with a wipe save folder

[heady leaf]

No mod works for me, not even the ones from WC

[raw stirrup]

yeah i had to remove them entirely

[exotic crescent]

Guys my aio fans were working perfectly for the past 2 weeks and today when i turned my pc on they started rumbling

Are there any fixes other then bzying new fans

[obsidian magnet]

@low haven

@zealous aurora

[heady leaf]

Mods work in single player mode, so it's strange that they don't work on the server

[raw stirrup]

yeah im not sure if its a nitrado issue or a curseforge issue or a wildcard issue xD

but i agree it is mad they dont work on server cause mine worked on sp too

[obsidian magnet]

The mods on the boosted servers are no longer working. Can you help me, since the server hasn't been online since yesterday?

[urban pelican]

11 ASA servers and only 2 are done with the update and are running perfectly with our mods... anyone else having this issue

[obsidian magnet]

@low haven @zealous aurora

[heady leaf]

There are servers where mods are installed and the servers are running

[raw stirrup]

i know there is but not sure if they are nitrado servers by seems of it prob not

[obsidian magnet]

Is nitrado the Problem @raw stirrup

[heady leaf]

Nitrado has exclusive ASA servers, so all servers are from Nitrado

[obsidian magnet]

Kk

[raw stirrup]

I think so its hard to know

[obsidian magnet]

Yh

[raw stirrup]

people host there own servers through their own hardware so incorrect

i think thats how people are getting servers with mods working it could just be luck too some people getting through with mods on nitrado some not but nitrado or devs have all gone pretty quiet so its hard to know whats happening on the backend of things

[iron bronze]

Yea, I don't have my servers on Nitrado and my servers are completely fine (apart from not being able to transfer)...so I think it's a Nitrado issue...

[hardy pelican]

are mods working

[sweet rapids]

how do I fix "plugin 'NIS' failed to load because module 'NISShaders' could not be found

[toxic hazel]

Reinstall a the server or copy the files from a working one

[sweet rapids]

I don't get how updating servers results in errors when trying to start up, but ok classic wildcard I guess

[iron bronze]

I'm pretty sure it's Nitrado this time

[toxic hazel]

Happened to all my servers except 1

[sweet rapids]

I am not using nitrado so

[toxic hazel]

We self host lol

[lean ore]

The crashcallstack shows error based on "UnknownFunction" ... seems that a problem with the 5.5 update and wildcard needs to adjust this

[fallow lion]

Anybody know any good decent boosted servers? I know right now with mods is not possible but maybe when it‘s fixed

[spice wyvern]

My game crashes every time I transfer maps

[spice wyvern]

PVP or PVE?

[fallow lion]

Pvp high pop

And wiped not to fast

Wipes

[spice wyvern]

Check #1110949794907684965

Oh sorry

[icy oak]

my console tribe mates on xbox are unable to join our cluster however i on pc playing through the xbox app can play on our cluster. does anyone know what might be casuing this?

[icy oak]

Radiant. great cluster

[urban pelican]

do you mean playing the Win 10 version?

[icy oak]

mate i dunno. i bought it on xbox when it came out and since upgraded to a pc. i downloaded the Xbox app for pc and was able to download asa through it

i can play on our modded cluster but my tribe mates on xbox can't

but they can join officals no problem

[toxic hazel]

Do they get error?

[icy oak]

they said they download the server mods when joining and then it says they have timed out

[toxic hazel]

Time out tends to be port forwarding issue

[icy oak]

how do they resolve that?

[toxic hazel]

You resolve by port forwarding you ports

Or whoever is running the server

[frigid vine]

some for us

9/10 transfers are crashing (multiple steam users complain this in our communcity)

[iron bronze]

I'm reinstalling and made sure to add all the maps from DLC section in steam page so i'm gonna check to see if that fixes the transfer issue

Will let you guys know

[heady flax]

Is there a solution for the mod problem on Xbox? I can't access my private server at all.

[icy oak]

that what i'm trying to figure out. i can join our cluster but my xbox tribe mates can not

[zinc spire]

any one know how i can join the high pop pvp servers just getting back into the game

[spice wyvern]

I’m hearing it’s a mod issue

[tiny seal]

Yeah my friends on pc can join my server but me and my other xbox and ps5 friends are still having mod issues

[icy oak]

are ur friends on pc playing through the xbox app or steam

[heady flax]

Are all mods still invalid in the list?

[tiny seal]

Steam

[tiny seal]

Yep

[hollow geyser]

Is it possible to wipe ur character in unofficial server to have a fresh start ?

[frigid vine]

we already tried this ofc did without success. Sadly.

And yes, we really fully uninstalled ASA, incl. custom cosmetics, so was really fresh install on fresh vanilla servers (just different settings on it)

[viscid gulch]

How do i connect to a server

[frigid vine]

As we're in a unofficial server context here: start your game, click unonfficial, check "players server" filter, search for your name of server. Enjoy

[viscid gulch]

@frigid vineHi cant find N&A servers

@frigid vineFound them

[rocky meadow]

Having trouble with ClubArk. Have a private server cluster, every time I try and join ClubArk from the in game menu I CTD

where can i report bugs/issues?

[civic breach]

Does anyone know the issue/have a fix for this?

[frigid vine]

#bug-reports

[iron bronze]

Yea, I thought as much...sometimes you just need to try, ya know...was hoping something would change

[frigid vine]

Sadly not. Did you tried with a new player, empty inventory / no custom cosmetics etc.? 🙂

[half tree]

i have a dedicated server that i run on my own pc but after the update when i try to start it up it crashes after 3 secondes anyone else having this problem?😣

[frigid vine]

More information needed. Mods? Start up parameters? Plugins? Whats the error code? Which Map?

[half tree]

i use a ark server creation tool , i checked if my mods are compatable i do get a new error

i get a error code from cfcore that says no machine id was found

[toxic hazel]

Not sure what this is but doesnt seem to be causing a issue for me

[iron bronze]

No, I didn't...i'm not gonna make a new character for it tho...I might just try and put all my stuff away, kill me character and then try...

[frigid vine]

If you're using mods on your unoffical server, you're not alone. The www is full with issues of mods. I guess you need to wait for mod-updates and wildcard patch too.

[iron bronze]

However, I am now getting a message when trying to transfer to AS saying that it will send me to the main menu if I hit accept...hitting accept just causes my game to freeze up as usual tho...wasn't getting that message before

[frigid vine]

Sounds good! Will also test it after work. Don't forget the cosmetic tab 🙂 All these hidden items there

[final eagle]

Anyone else having issues with transferring to other maps in cluster?

[frigid vine]

Yeah older bug, but known... its annoying. You need to wait until server is saving after you kicked yourself.

[frigid vine]

Read just these last messages here 😄

[final eagle]

Lol Just saw this and yep same thing XD

[frigid vine]

Yes. We're currently searching for a workaround. Magzan is testing if a new char / empty char (no inv, no custom cosmetics, no chibi, no skins etc) is working better.

We already tried to fully re-install the game (steam/pc) and tried without custom cosmetics, does not help, sadly.

[final eagle]

Gotcha Looks like I'm able to redownload char back to orignal map, I was testing xfering without any equipment gonna soo if I can load into the map I requested with the char. When I loaded back into my main I was able to download the char. info

[iron bronze]

Just the same silent crash, didn't get the "returning to main menu" message this time tho

I'm gonna try transfer to a different map and see if I can, but my guess is that it's just something thats gotten screwed up with the new DLC approach to maps...

[toxic hazel]

my game just freezes on transfer xD

[frigid vine]

Good point. You can try then traveling between the island (this map is the core map of the game). If this works idk 10 times without crashing the game, the DLCs rework maybe is the problem, yeah.

[frigid vine]

mine (and others) fully rage quit with the popup from steam "send this error restart or close" thingy.

[toxic hazel]

Yeah Mine lit just freezes with the connecting to server at the top, left it like 20mins and nothing xD

The recieving server sees me joining but nothing happens xD

[iron bronze]

Well, my character was on Island before 5.5...so I have no choice but to try and transfer from Island lol

Will let you know

[dusky fjord]

Uninstall mods.

[toxic hazel]

Think they want mods though xD

[frigid vine]

mod free cluster 🙂 everything is vanilla except settings.

[dusky fjord]

All mods are not comparable with new update.

[dusky fjord]

Ahh ok

[iron bronze]

Scorched causes the silent crash too...

[toxic hazel]

If they boot with the server they are, you get error otherwise

[iron bronze]

And yea, my servers have nots of mods but they are starting and running fine with no items or structed missing so far...it's just the transfer thing which we are pretty sure it's a base game issue

[toxic hazel]

My mods work anyway

[final eagle]

Yeah same everything for me is good loading into any of the servers

[dusky fjord]

Our mods wouldn’t work. Can’t even update them. Just says not compatible with current version or something like that.

[toxic hazel]

You need to clean your mods folder as the mods have old files for the previous engine

[dusky fjord]

Oh. How the tf u do that?

[toxic hazel]

By deleting everything in the mods folder

[iron bronze]

Nitrado? Cos I think Nitrado is having issues...

[dusky fjord]

Ahh ok. I’ll give that ago.

[fluid ice]

sorry if its the wrong channel but does anyone also can't turn off frame gen throught settings and gameusersettings.ini?

[flint oasis]

So Funny Story.... today I decided to hop into the game .... Even though it said day 1 .... It is in fact NOT day 1 lmao everything is there 😄 Astraeos is working and it wont update to 66.63 or whatever that one is 😄

[gentle niche]

Yep, its forcing amd framegen even with nvidia selected

turned it off through commands and tried enabling nvidia with command, it just turned amd back on

r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled 0 this will turn off amd framegen

[iron bronze]

@frigid vine
I only tried scorched seeing as SE has always been the most "stable" map in my experience, but still a no go...just getting the same silent crash...I'm pretty sure that it's the DLC thing really

[frigid vine]

Roger. I'll setup later 2 fresh installed island servers and try this out. But i guess you're right. Hopefully wildcard will look into this issue once they are back to work.

[iron bronze]

Right oh...let me know how it goes...I would trest that, but can't be assed right now lol

[lost plinth]

I done this still didn’t work. We have to wait for the Modders to update their mod…

So may have already done it but some may not have.

[delicate sage]

How many instances of ASA server do you think I could get to run off a 3000G with sufficient RAM. The load will be exactly 1 -4 players on any given server at a time.

[celest halo]

All mods should be updated for the 5.5 engine CF auto recooked them, CF has posted in there discord that there is issues with consoles downloading mods and they are working to fix it

[barren ridge]

Did u see if they had an ETA?

[lost plinth]

Thanks for this 🙏

[strange galleon]

They said no eta 4 hours ago

[celest halo]

Screen shot of the discord message I seen does not have an eta

[strange galleon]

The issue I'm having is that two of my servers are stuck in a restart loop

[delicate sage]

Is it ticking loop or is it actually restarting?

[strange galleon]

On nitrado it starts up says server online then restarts

[latent rune]

I have a whole cluster running on one machine, the 4 main story arks use 40GB on bootup, the whole thing about 70GB of ram

[delicate sage]

Hmm, I have 4 servers running on a 12700k with 128GB. It only uses about 32 total. But I only have 1-3 people logged at anh given time. Is that for ASE?

And that’s 32GB with Local AI stuff running.

From the curseforge discord.

[celest halo]

All depends on how old the map is and how big the bases are, some of my servers only use around 8-10gb ram and others using 15-18gb

[strange galleon]

If anyone gets there servers that are stuck in a restart loop fixed please let me know how

[delicate sage]

Check your .bat file launch parameters. I spent 4 hours last night with 4 servers with only one that wouldn’t boot. The map call was Island_WP and not TheIsland_WP

Which is strange, because I hadn’t changed anything in the bats after updating servers.

[humble thicket]

can anybody help me with this for club ark:
BaseHexagonRewardMultiplier=10.0
HexagonCostMultiplier=0.01
this two settings mean 10x reward/coin and 0.01 cost when spending them, right? or am i mistaken?

[half trout]

Can someone explain to me why even though ive updated my server the mods still show as incompatible in game? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled on both the server and ps5. And its doing it for ones that have been updated. I dont quite understand.

[maiden canopy]

I seem to not be able to enable to event on my server. The command is in the commandline and it's showing up in the console that it's in the commandline but when I get on the server I cannot craft any event items in the cooking pot.

[fathom hamlet]

Console nitrado servers not working with mods?

[molten palm]

CF has some problems, but a fix is rolling out slowly

[half trout]

Ohhh okay makes sense thank you

[molten palm]

Especially consoles have problems atm with downloading mods or staying up to date

[latent rune]

No, Im running an ASA cluster on a HPE DL380 G9 with 2 xeon 2697A v4 CPUs and 128GB of DDR4 ram

But because the update went SO well yesterday

I had a slight influx of people right after I got my servers up lol so there is some stuff that is going on

actually, I noticed after the update that my servers use less ram (which I am always for! 🙂 )

[hardy pelican]

mine won't even start i have 1 working and the other 6 with the same error "plugin 'NIS' failed to load because module 'NISShaders' could not be found

[latent rune]

you'll get it figured out im sure

it took me 3 days to figure out that my servers wouldn't get past the CPU number of cores count, because the CPU drivers weren't installed....

Something I never had an issue with ever in computing history lol

[hardy pelican]

they've all been running fine up until this update

[tepid cairn]

Anyone elses ShooterLogs full of RCON refused connections? Map loads and people connect, but game is no longer binding to a port after the update yesterday.

[humble thicket]

can anybody help me with this for club ark:

[normal canyon]

When I try to transfer servers in my cluster I crash is anybody else having that problem

[toxic hazel]

Pretty much everyone

[normal canyon]

ok thanks

[frigid vine]

Man awesome. Thats the issue. From The Island to The Island works for now. Tried 10 times, no crash!
DLC-Rework is the problem. /cc @zealous aurora

[strange star]

Anyone on Nitrado servers having issues activating the birthday event?

[latent rune]

My transfers have been working perfectly thankfully

went from island to extinctiion to abberation back to island last nigh, no issues

[normal canyon]

How about resources in your base until you go out of render.

[latent rune]

everything is normal/working for me, but II have 0 mods installed

[toxic hazel]

It works fine no mods just not with mods xD

[latent rune]

^^

I had to explain to players on my servers that adding mods will likely break the game for now due to the update, lol

so for now they are "dealing with it"

They can live without their awesome spyglass for a little while IMO 😛

[toxic hazel]

People too used to that spyglass xD

[latent rune]

mmhm lol

[harsh pendant]

Mods are not working people can't even log into server.. mods just keep saying invalid

[spice wyvern]

There’s a drop down on the interface next to event colors

[toxic hazel]

Clean your mods folder and retry

[spice wyvern]

Currently a known console issue making the game unplayable for a lot of folks

[iron bronze]

Yep, makes sense! Hopfully they can get a fix sorted soon then

[strange star]

Thank you, that option was not there last night🤣

[frigid vine]

I reported the bug and send you the link to it. Would be nice if you can confirm so that WC plans a higher prio on that

[toxic hazel]

Forget to look at what platform they on hahaha

[spice wyvern]

I have Ark on all 3 platforms so that I can run testing on issues for my servers when people complain

[toxic hazel]

Mods seem fine for pretty much every PCer in another DC im in

[warm solar]

None in my server. And some of the mods are down since low-key January

[late breach]

i cant find overrideofficialdifficulty

[delicate sage]

Gosh that sounds loud lol.

[flint oasis]

So, finally my server updated lol yeah I had the stacking issue 😄 RIP argies ... glad I backed it up

[delicate sage]

I think on ASE server they preferred cores that could hit 4ghz. On ASA I don’t see much CPU usage on the 12700K, but it was more energy efficient option vs an older Xeon setup. I would like to have all those PcIe slots though 😛

[feral copper]

Should mods be deleted from the server and then replaced to update them or is a server restart good enough?

[spice wyvern]

I wouldn’t do anything right now. Curseforge is working on it

They gave an update on their discord saying they’re running software to try to fix it

Which was 6 hours ago

[feral copper]

Ok thanks for the info

[spice wyvern]

I’m scared to even turn my servers on at this point and test mods

[latent rune]

it's in a rack in the basement with 3 other servers

[spice wyvern]

I know of one for sure that isn’t working how it should

[toxic hazel]

Mods are fine on my servers, I just cant transfer with them on with having to close the game and logging into the destination servre to download my character

[spice wyvern]

That also freaks me out because I don’t want to lose inventory

[humble thicket]

In the gameusersetting.ini?

[toxic hazel]

That is fair enough xD

[spice wyvern]

Plus what if the players on my cluster have issues and I have to give them back things they lose? I don’t want to be responsible for them having a bad game experience

[toxic hazel]

Na just say you are aware of the issue so play at your own risk, nothing being recovered 😉 lololol jk

[late breach]

yes

[humble thicket]

and this DifficultyOffset=1? if you find this, add
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 right after it

[late breach]

got it

this will make dinos max level 150? i wanna make them like 300-450 if possible but keeping all other settings to normal

[lost plinth]

Set overrideofficaldifficulty to 10 for max wild Dino 300

[raw stirrup]

set difficulty to 10

highest is 300

[late breach]

Got it

Thank you

[ashen slate]

Is there any word on when the mods are gonna be fixed on console?

[flint oasis]

So we are crashing now... we werent before and with the 66.36 update we are lol ironic honestly 🙄

[spice wyvern]

Curseforge still working on it

[ashen slate]

Are they posting updates somewhere? @spice wyvern

[spice wyvern]

Curseforge discord. They haven’t posted an update in over 6 hours though

[lost plinth]

Last update was at 14:05 BST

[obsidian magnet]

@low haven what is whit boostet Servern ?

[versed minnow]

how do i make it so players and dinos get more weight per level on my server

[potent mountain]

I downloaded the updates and now I can't not find my unofficial server on the list. Is it bc of cursed forage or do I have to uninstall and reinstall the whole game?

[iron bronze]

I think I'm gonna wait a bit before updating my servers lol

[lost plinth]

In game. ini. Add the lines
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_player[7]=X
PerLevelStatsMultiplier_dinotamed[7]=X
X being the multiplier you would like. So on official it goes up by 10 so if you do 100 it’ll go up by 1000.

Per level

[raw stirrup]

my server wont work at all if i add mods try removing them and it should pop up

[potent mountain]

Ty, I will try that

[raw stirrup]

np its annoying i hope curseforge sort their shit out soon ark needs mods

[versed minnow]

thank you

[versed minnow]

they are working on a patch for it

its rolling out slowly for every mod

[sick elm]

I can't see the armor numbers and item damage anymore. Is this normal?

[raw stirrup]

yeah i know

[raw stirrup]

your right i didnt even notice that probably a bug

[unique goblet]

i have the same problem but also with ammo in my hot bar

[sick elm]

Exactly

[unique goblet]

but when i join official i can see the ammo i have in a sling shot

[sick elm]

And now?

[sullen sparrow]

Are the CurseForge mods working yet?

[unique goblet]

idk when i join my server i don't see it. i only sea it on official ant singelplayer

[exotic orbit]

I see a new patch just came out 66.37 anyone try server transfers on this new version yet?

[versed minnow]

Do you know what config I can use to increase the whole xp multiplier like i want it to be 3

[modest night]

Also, if you google it, ai will bring up the perlevelstatmultiplier lists for players tames and wild dinos, copy and paste into your game ini and have total controll over game stats. But use small numbers as these are multipliers towards base stats

[sick elm]

That's amazing. I don't think there was a setting on nitrado

[latent rune]

Wish my servers would show up on official 😛

[unique goblet]

as far as i have seen not

[north sparrow]

any way to fix cryopod and item stacking?

[sick elm]

Incredible

[toxic hazel]

No one wants to try hehehee

[exotic orbit]

We used Beacon and setup item stack overrides for everything so we could remove the ItemStackSizeMultiplier since it was duping stuff to begin with

[north sparrow]

but then u have all resources also per one, or?

[exotic orbit]

Guess I will have to test it then

[exotic orbit]

Not sure what you mean by that but with Beacon it generated about 725 lines of item stack overrides for me after I set up the stack sizes I wanted for everything

Only thing that didn't work was for custom food and drink recipes but that was broken with the global stack size multiplier also so they did something with the update that broke it to be only 20 per stack

[modest night]

Check to see if the tool tip is toggled off in the “pause ‘ menu settings

[north sparrow]

oki thanks gona try

[latent rune]

IIs there a discord plugin that I can add to a "server status" channel to ping my servers and show if they are up or down in the DC channel?

[lost plinth]

I can’t find it on my ini tbh 🤣 I’ll have a look once I get on the computer phone is no good 😂

[modest night]

Ya. I couldnt do game files on my phone either. The files will be under the game ini title. If the files arent there , pick an empy line and smack enter till you get the space. Then copy paste from google ai response

You can then add 2 extra lines for numbers 8and 10. 9 does not exist

Copy paste line 7 2x and change the 7 to 8 and 10

8 is melee and 10 is fort

Add line 8 to tamed and wilds as well

[real zealot]

Does anyone know if the OS on dedi servers monthly payments?

[exotic orbit]

Transfers are still broken on 66.37 just FYI

I like they fixed other things and not server transfers first...I would think transfer would be the priority since anyone that has a cluster can't bring their servers up right now

[iron bronze]

Unless them trying to fix the transfers is causing worse issues

[strange galleon]

Anyone still having restart loop issues?

[tranquil kelp]

do i paste the "active event..." into game.ini or gameusersettings.ini?

[celest halo]

Why fix transfers first if servers are still crashing, can't transfer to something that won't stay running 🤣

[real zealot]

Is the cryo problem still happening? We haven’t started our public servers yet cause of it 🥲

[iron bronze]

As in the item stacking issue?

[real zealot]

YES like modded cryos stacking over vanilla ones

[iron bronze]

Well, I don't know about anything like that, but the stacking probable is fixed...what cryopod mod you using?

[real zealot]

we're using PCS cryopod and dino ball on another cluster of ours

[iron bronze]

Well, I'm using dino depot and my servers are fine

[real zealot]

thank you!!!! that's a big help i appreciate it! our test servers won't start so I'm out here looking for answers haha I appreciate you

[exotic orbit]

We are using SCS and our servers start up and are stable from what I have seen but we haven't released our servers back to the public yet since transfers are still broken

[sick elm]

Which impostation is it? I don't find this

[real zealot]

thank you! i thought thr transfers are only with official

[gentle niche]

getting constant 'garbage collection triggered' in steamcmd window :S

[dawn hemlock]

anyone know how to fix the server i play on showing up when i search it, but its greyed out and no one able to join and the server showing nothing for "day, ping, build" or is this just from the shitty update?

[modest night]

When you are logged in .if you press the little button just above the right joystick, it brings up that menu. Go to settings and look fir the tooltip toggle

[modest night]

Has the server owner done the update yet ? I know some wait a bit till stuff gets fixed first

[dawn hemlock]

they have forced update it about 4 times yesterday

[modest night]

Ooof

Im just being patient till curseforge gets their act together and gives the mod fix. Thats gonna clear up a lot of this mess , i hope anyway

[celest halo]

It's nothing all games do garbage collection it's how they free up ram

[dawn hemlock]

i hope so. i guess i should feel blessed that the server is down while no one can get on it so i dinos wont be dead when we get back 😂

[sick elm]

Don't work this

[jolly dove]

Just got my servers back online and testing currently. None of my icons have extra numbers anymore - like how armor has the amount of armor given, weapons show the ammo and amount, etc.

Seems like everything else is fine so far, just this...

Anyone else experiencing this or have possible solutions to try?

[dusty jay]

did curse forage die again?

my servers wont grab the updates for mods

[jolly dove]

I was forced to delete mods folder and they redownloaded fine (but wouldn't update).

[dusty jay]

worked on one map

[young dove]

Was CurseForge ever truly alive during this entire UE5.5 update mess?

[dusty jay]

but ill try that

[spice wyvern]

Well so far only one of my mods are broken but map transfers still cause the game to crash

And console users still can’t log in

[dusty jay]

that worked thank you

[celest halo]

Nope 🤣, they definitely could not handle the 10k+ users/servers all trying to download the mod updates

[last rose]

Does anyone have some server settings they would recommend for PVE that will make it fun to play, but not make everything super easy?

[regal musk]

Did you find anything out about this?

[jolly dove]

Nope, been asking around but nothing so far.

[regal musk]

ahhh oki ): I enjoy the extended hud but I miss the extra info on toolbar etc

[livid portal]

So how long u think until people can play

[celest halo]

There is no timeline some have been playing since yesterday others not so much

[livid portal]

I just bought a server and I can’t find it anywhere unlike last time where it popped up

[celest halo]

Ark is always a big mess after a major update, works for some and don't for others

[delicate sage]

Check the drop-down for map and make sure it says all. If you passworded the server, make sure checkbox is checked.

[distant hearth]

ark updates, chaos ensues ... nothing much changed round here haha , i shall return to being busy with work an not play lol

[celest halo]

🤣 , but we miss you

[delicate sage]

4 servers. One wouldn’t boot. Blamed update. Turns out the map name for TheIsland_WP was changed to Island_WP. Took me 3 hours to figure that out.

[distant hearth]

that sounds fun haha , i bet they documented it an told everyone too

[delicate sage]

I’m always telling on myself for being incompetent.

[raw stirrup]

are mods working on nitrado now ?

[celest halo]

Mine started fine using TheIsland_WP 🤣

[distant hearth]

prob best to ask in nitrado or the specific mods, discord,
every mod wud of needed an update

[north sparrow]

Ppl on our servers reporting that they have in their bases stones/rocks and tree which they farmed so long time ago when they wanted to build on that spots, they can go through if, but they cant farm it with character or with dino. How to fix that please that?

[delicate sage]

I have a fancy gaming keyboard with switches that you can merely look at and they depress. I assume I accidentally backspaced over the The.

[raw stirrup]

just asking in general as most people on nitrado havent been able to see server if they add mods

[delicate sage]

Not the best for typing/coding I’ve found lol.

[raw stirrup]

i didnt on mine i had to take them off but this was few hours ago now

[distant hearth]

thats becuase every mod will need a recook for the latests major update, alot modders will slowly be doing this an i bet curseforge is on a go slow

[delicate sage]

The birthday event one defo works.

And Halloween event works too.

[raw stirrup]

yeah i think it was a curseforge issue so more asking if thats working again now cause someone said in here about there discord post about it saying they rolling out a fix so was asking if anyone had any luck yet xD

[celest halo]

CF auto recooked all the mods for 5.5

And they in the process of doing the console version over because they messed them up 🤣

[lavish rover]

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled. Game, server ectopic. Still not updating and cant get on nitrado server says failure to load content so going back to play 7dtd until they fix this crap. By the way im on xbox series s . Going to download the game on my pc to see what happens.

[distant hearth]

alot didnt work from the quick glance i looked at

[delicate sage]

The way ray tracing works I didn’t think lighting had to be cooked in?

[distant hearth]

anyway luckily im busy all summer, hope its sorted by novemeber , then i will be looking to play hahaha

[drowsy current]

my dedi server instantly closing, what seems to be the problem

[balmy timber]

Are unofficial servers up now or nah

[celest halo]

Yes and no 🤣

[raw stirrup]

yes if u dont use mods xD

[strange star]

Are mods on unofficial Nitrado servers screwed, or is anyone actually running unofficial servers with game changing mods successfully now?

[balmy timber]

Aww man

[celest halo]

I use mods and mine is up 🤣

[lavish rover]

@celest halo are you on pc

[raw stirrup]

wait really what mods

[celest halo]

Yup and I self host my servers

[raw stirrup]

oh self host yeah but not nitrado

[dawn hemlock]

self host is why

[lavish rover]

I cant get in on my xbox

[dawn hemlock]

everyone who uses nitrado is kinda screwed rn

[lavish rover]

I pay for nitrado

[drowsy current]

mine just closes instantly

[raw stirrup]

yeah we cooked on nitrado honestly

[lavish rover]

Keeps saying failed to load content

[north sparrow]

Ppl on our servers reporting that they have in their bases stones/rocks and trees folliage which they farmed so long time ago when they wanted to build on that spots, they can go through if, but they cant farm it with character or with dino. How to fix that please that?

[celest halo]

CF messed up the console version of the mods and is recooking them all right now to fix them

[strange star]

Leave render and come back, surely it'll get fixed at some point.

[lavish rover]

@celest halo ty

[north sparrow]

Ok thanks

[dawn hemlock]

wonder if nitrado will prorate credit us all money for our servers being unplayable

[celest halo]

Good luck

[lavish rover]

They dont refund

Or anything

[celest halo]

They will say it's because of WC or CF so was out of there hands and won't give anything

[ashen otter]

im trying to get the aniversary even working for asa on my nitrado server do i just put -Activeevent=birthday under [ServerSettings]? i have no idea how this works thanks

[somber arrow]

Anyone able to get their servers running? I'm getting various mod errors and a Machine ID error?

[spice wyvern]

There’s a drop down under general next to event color

[drowsy current]

Why is my server just closing after I launch it for a few secs?

[ashen otter]

oooooh ty kindly <3

[celest halo]

It's not a ini setting, it's a start command settings and on Nitardo it should be under the events drop-down to enable it

[lavish rover]

Its in the rules when you purchase. It is because of mods which is from wc which is from curseforge who is suppose to test lol

If mods aren't up to date it's not nitrados fault really.

It goes from the modern to curse to nitrado

Modder

[dawn hemlock]

but nitrado is not letting us update... i was able to update mods just fine (im on pc) it just wont update on nitrado side

[pseudo glade]

Is there a way to fix map transfers? It doesn't seem to work when you transfer within a cluster

[opal osprey]

anyone having issues with mods not updating on servers?

[pseudo glade]

Delete the stored file on the server

And redownload

[opal osprey]

thanks!

[somber orbit]

What file exactly? If i may ask

[lavish rover]

Did you uninstall all your mods to see if you can update

[pseudo glade]

I'm not in front of my PC but there's a mod folder on the server

[lavish rover]

@dawn hemlock im on xbox

[somber orbit]

Available in the webinterface? Or only via f2p?

[opal osprey]

the update happened just fine, it just throws an error on mods that show as already being updated on the website (and it updated them fine on my PC)

[ashen otter]

when you join after enabling does a special intro play like for previous events?

[lavish rover]

I@dawn hemlock I agree it's not nitrado someone else was wondering if they would do a refund

[celest halo]

Don't think so, go to a smithy and see if engrams to craft event items are in there

[ashen otter]

smart

[spice wyvern]

No

[ashen otter]

ty!

[drowsy current]

anyone who self host that are running right now, how the fuck is yours working. Mine just closes

[coarse elk]

Windows works fine linux is just completely fucked with the NIS issue

[boreal nexus]

So I’m setting up a pve cluster pretty much official settings with boosting breeding.
Any advice on how to populate it.. or is just be consistent with advertising and hope for the best? lol

[celest halo]

Don't know, I ran my update script, then ran my start script and it's running

[celest halo]

My ASA server is running on Linux with proton 😂

[coarse elk]

One of the lucky ones lol

All of mine are broken even with reinstall

[pseudo glade]

My advice join another server and don't start another one

[celest halo]

Or already have a community of people that want to all play 🤣

[boreal nexus]

I have like 6 people who are all going to play at least

[storm aspen]

Any other UK users having issues logging in?

[toxic hazel]

I only fixed this by installing a new server, recovered my backs to it after

[gusty bramble]

my nitrado server is not working. on the ark server page it is greyed out and maps, day, and build is empty. does anyone know how to fix this issue

[celest halo]

You part of a big club, if you find away there is a lot of other people that would like to know

Seams like everyone on Nitardo and using mods can't get there servers running

[raw stirrup]

have you got mods on ?

[exotic orbit]

My servers are running on Linux Docker containers just fine using Proton I just have mine shutdown as I run a server cluster with 8 servers so I have to wait for transfers to get fixed but I haven't seen the NIS issue at all

I use POK-manager for the container management and Docker image and it is working with no issues

[somber orbit]

I uninstalled all mods from my nitrado server and yet its still as Joaty described his server...

Even put a backup on it and tried it this way... same result

[runic yew]

So I’m on astraeos, none of the astraeos creatures will spawn, no Minotaur, seahorse, etc. I downloaded the mythological creature mod they won’t appear, and I turned it off and they won’t appear.

They won’t even appear on the Dino finder

[terse gale]

Does anyone know a way to change stack size in ark

[tacit marsh]

Anyone know what changed with the stack size patch they released? It looks like everything reverted to the default on my servers.

[tacit marsh]

ItemStackSizeMultiplier=x

At least, I thought that's what it was.

[terse gale]

What's that supposed to mean

[exotic orbit]

You can use Beacon to generate item stack size overrides for you

[terse gale]

Is it a mod?

[exotic orbit]

Beacon is an application for generating Ark server configurations

[terse gale]

Idk how

[exotic orbit]

Look it up allows you to do a lot in a GUI interface

[terse gale]

Ok

[exotic orbit]

Will generate game.ini and GUS.ini for you

[terse gale]

Bruhh

Dm me

Chuck

[tacit marsh]

No

[terse gale]

Bruh

[celest halo]

Link to beacon is in pinned messages

[opal osprey]

well... deleting the mod files caused them to redownload, but also destroyed everything that was there previously that had anything to do with them... so guessing that its probably just the .manifest files that need to be deleted?

this is why i keep 3 days worth of automatic backups of my server

[somber orbit]

I found the solution for mine, maybe it'll work for you too

So all Nitrado Servers IP got changed. That's why the Server is grayed out. It's not there anymore under the IP the favoriting saved it.

Just manually type the name in the searchbar and you hopefully find your Server with its new IP again in game and will be able to join

[brisk topaz]

Anyone got a map that didn't want to start?

[young dove]

Welp, I've effectively given up on trying to wade through this steaming pile of Bronto poop that is WIldcard's UE5.5 update and have adopted a different approach. I've made a test instance, set it to launch with all 29 mods my clan uses, and configured it to automatically restart on crash and automatically update every start. If it ever stops crashing, I'll know it's safe to start the other servers.

[pseudo glade]

are you using ark api?

[young dove]

WindowsGSM. I run Windows Server 2019, because Wildcard couldn't be bothered to build a native Linux binary for Ascended, even though Evolved had one.

[pseudo glade]

Yes but windows gsm has a couple different server installs one includes ark api

I have 24 mods on my server and everything is online. Only issues im having now is transferring we have to do the cloud download method as the standard wont work

I only ask about the API and plugins cause they are causing crashes and this isnt a wildcard issue

[young dove]

I'm not using an API, no.

[pseudo glade]

have the mods been updated recently by the authors?

you can check this by going to their sites on curseforeg

If not then its the authors problem not wildcard

[young dove]

And I'm still blaming Wildcard for crashes anyway, even if it is mods, because they gave what..a week notice to mod makers before dumping this "update" to production?

[pseudo glade]

a lot of asa mods are abandoned

[pseudo glade]

they gave people months notice

and even early access to update the mods

[young dove]

When did they actually release the 5.5 devkit, though?

[pseudo glade]

last week

you could test your submissions

[celest halo]

19th of last month

[pseudo glade]

was even later then last week

#modding-announcements message

You basis to being mad at WC is just wrong brother. I would start going through your mods and seeing which one is the cause

I purposely only have mods that have been updated in the last couple months leading up to this to know they have active authors who can update\

[young dove]

I'm not mad at WC. I just expect mediocrity from them. Been at this since Evolved and they haven't changed much besides the paint job on the game.

Also, their update is producing this error on one of my expendable instances: Plugin 'NIS' failed to load because module 'NISShaders' could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.

[pseudo glade]

Plugins are related to Ark API

this isnt a wildcard issue

[young dove]

The NIS plugin is the Nvidia Image Scaler

It has zero to do with an API and everything to do with Nvidia DLSS/Image Scaling, which shouldn't even be cooked into the ArkAcendedServer.exe binary.

[pseudo glade]

if that is baked into the servers everyone would have that issue. I dont!! and have 8 maps online

[young dove]

And I have four that aren't online with this error, before I can even get to a point where mods update. Clearly there's something wrong with the server binary if it's presenting an Unreal Engine project error about a missing Nvidia Image Scaler plugin. I'm also not the only one to see this error either.

[frigid vine]

Just install fresh server, the error is gone. Don't forget to backup before.

[pseudo glade]

did you try deleting the old mods

[young dove]

Yeah the test intance I'm using as the canary in the coal mine for crashing mods doesn't present the error. So I'm going with Wildcard failing to adequately test the update internally before release. I'll redeploy entirely new servers and restore saves from backup onto them once the test instance quits taking a dive.

[pseudo glade]

and reinstalling them

[north sparrow]

any chance to upload old data from old Astra to new Astra map? bcz it got wiped all datas

[celest halo]

is Astraeos even fixed, last i seen anything from WC it has issues

[young dove]

Yeah I'm a little concerned about that one as well. It's my clan's main map at the moment, but my main servers have been offline since Monday in anticipation of the fallout from this update. I'm a little jittery about turning it back on without backing up the backups of the backups first :P.

[celest halo]

only maps i loaded on my test server was Extinction and The Island lol

havnt copied over my backup of my Astraeos map to the test server to see how that one does lmao

[final eagle]

I'm using arkapi v1.18 and some plugins (some from lethal and peylori crosschat) no issues thus far outside of transferring of course which is a different thing.

[keen tusk]

Any more updates for CF? Hours, days away from a fix?

[vagrant reef]

?anyone else not letting him join nitrado servers?

[lost plinth]

No updates from CurseForge since 16:45 BST

[celest halo]

yeah it prob going to take them some time to rebuild the 8-9k files

[north sparrow]

CreateASAClustersFolderMutex: CreateMutexW succeeded on mutex "ASAClusterMutex_7527827427637257". This process OPENED the mutex.

what is this when starting astra?

[fallow crypt]

How to fix the mods on my servers?

[dusky fjord]

Delete you mods

[urban pelican]

with the ASA birthday stuff, do i just use the Active Event settings in the general tab? or do i have to add the command line in the ini?

[celest halo]

command line flags are not the same thing as ini settings, and if your on nitrado you use there GUI to enable to event

[grand plover]

Hey so I own 2 un-official servers one is working the other isn’t any idea why?

[frank smelt]

For private server operators that are having the "wrong engine" issue with mods while starting your server, I found a workaround: rename (or delete) the Mods and ModsUserData directories and restart you server. Ensure you are including the "-mods" switch on your command line.

The path (on Windows) to those directories is <your install point>\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame

[slow dagger]

I can't get my Nitrado Center map to show, says its running but doesn't show in selections.

[brisk topaz]

yes mine too and the server ram doesnt move at all

[slow dagger]

No idea how to fix, I'm having the same problem. Have a ticket in with them now. I suggest putting one in too.

[slow dagger]

Yup, me too, mine is all greyed out, says its running when I look at it on Nitrado but won't let me select when I try to log on.

[urban pelican]

idk if this will help everyone, but i have 11 ASA servers for nitrado, i had to do a restore from Server Backups to a point before the update come out and all my servers are up and running now

[slow dagger]

Tried, sadly didn't work for me but good idea, ty anyway

[regal musk]

did you get your event enabled? i cant figure it out what i did wrong

[celest halo]

you use the event dropdown on the GUI

[regal musk]

im using gravelhost

no dropdown for me 😦

[alpine mountain]

Anybody know if mods are still broken on unofficial Astraeos servers?

[tired wolf]

I think they are broken on all maps all my mods say invalid no matter what I do

[spark wedge]

Certain mods are causing issues but nitrado have advised me they are unsure which ones are glitched

[alpine mountain]

Every update something breaks

10 years of game breaking updates lol

Congrats Wildcard, congrats

[celest halo]

they only broken if you on console or using nitrado

[tired wolf]

All my modded tames 😭😭

It took me months to find and tame them all🤦🏾‍♂️

[half hound]

A mutex is a OS-level mechanism to ensure only one process (server instance) has access to some resource at a time. I believe when servers are in a cluster a mutex is used between each instance to make sure transfers between them are happening in a predictable order - like if two people try to transfer at once, the mutex could block the transfer of the second until the first completes. In your case, the mutex was OPENED because it already exists - the first server to start in your cluster will log that it OWNS the mutex.

[stable turtle]

I host an unofficial server but my friend is unable to join it after the update, is this a common issue

I’m on Xbox if that means anything

[restive solar]

Is it not possible to join a modded server on ps rn?

[polar dagger]

curseforge said there are some known issues:

Update 14:05 BST: The issue is related to the console versions of mods - we are currently running software to fix these versions, which we expect to take several hours.

[austere pilot]

What about the servers not showing up on the lists? Mines not there at all

[jaunty hamlet]

how can i host and play on the same pc for an ASA server?

[polar dagger]

don't know!

Currently, it's driving me nuts that crosstravel is not working — I always get a client crash when trying to travel on my private cluster. Is there a trick for server owners to fix this, or is it just the usual waiting game for Wildcard? 🙂

[olive talon]

Please check the pinned messages as I stated earlier.

[jaunty hamlet]

dont really understand what im looking for tbh

o the video

[lean ferry]

Anyone know how to get rid of all the invisible-ish tree inside my base?

[tepid berry]

Anyone else ever have an issue where a server would just absolutely go HAYWIRE and spam "Garbage Collection Triggered!!!" infinitely in server logs? It's happening on my Astraeos server and it's freaking me out. Everything seems to be working fine, but the log file is growing incredibly fast.

[twin sapphire]

Gj

[polar dagger]

@erintempest bug, leave base out of render

[fathom tinsel]

How much RAM do you have on your server? It might be too little.

[tepid berry]

128gb

It's definitely not too little. lol

Server process is only using 12gb atm

[fathom tinsel]

LOL never mind then. Probably nothing? Is it running properly?

[tepid berry]

Other than the log file growing at 6kb/second

[fathom tinsel]

Well, that's annoying but maybe it is a side effect of the update? Not sure if you can directly tweak the log level though.

[glacial shadow]

On my dedicated box, when I try to start a server I get this error before crashing:

Error querying server mods: ApiError: Failed (serverUnreachable)

Server starts up fine if I run it with zero mods, but if I add any mod ID's, it crashes with that error. Is this due to the Curseforge hiccup?

[young dove]

That's likely the case. I get the same error sometimes and it usually corresponds to a CF outage or issue.

[trim yew]

Does the dynamic settings override the normal settings?

Or would the normal setting override the dynamic?

[vagrant reef]

I dont have any mods installed

[wintry raft]

Mine is doing this to

My game is so much more broken now

So we just cannot transport between maps right now?

[wild helm]

Pretty much

[vernal girder]

Mine doing the same

[wild helm]

I can’t figure out why mine keeps crashing every 90

[vernal girder]

Crashing when trying to transfer

[wild helm]

It does that to but just crashing in general

Something about failed to access somethings

Or didnt have permission to files

[wintry raft]

I’m on unofficial servers that don’t have mods and the transfers work…

[vernal girder]

Sometimes I can transfer

Sometimes crash

But every time I try to join ark club from my char - crash

[spiral roost]

When we start up our Astraeos servers, we select Astraeos DLC and we can load our Astraeos save? is there anything special we have to do? And should this reset the days in game?

[fathom tinsel]

Getting a LOT of client side crashes. I have had one server side crash at this point though too.

yes and no?
You can't host a offical but you can host a dedicated. All officals are dedicated.

[half trout]

So every mod is still showing up as invalid even if i uninstall and reinstall, once i leave the mod list after successful install and go back in they show up as invalid again. Anyone else having this issue?

[fathom tinsel]

Sometimes but not always. You can host directly with your game client on your PC without it being dedicated.
A dedicated server tends to run 24/7 as it's own process and often on it's own computer

Yes, currently anyone can create a dedicated server. It is technically free to do so but you have to manage it yourself as well as know how to manage and run it. You can run one from home but need to know how to forward the ports needed for the server.
You can also pay for a dedicated server from a company to host for you.
