hmmm client update and no patch notes

:rotating_light: UPDATES FOUND ON STEAM :rotating_light:
ARK: Survival Ascended (2399830:public)
Released: June 6, 2025 9:47 PM
Today at 9:51 PM

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, just saw that. I crashed 3 times in the last hour-ish. Too bad your bot can't just post here 😉

[fierce timber]

Anybody found a way to fix ItemStackSizeMultiplier .ini setting for SP? Doesn't work since UE 5.5 update.

[somber robin]

Not that I’m aware of

[celest halo]

there is no fixing it, WC has to fix it like they did for servers

[fathom tinsel]

Maybe this client patch fixed it?

[celest halo]

who knows what it does 😂 WC is the best at giving out info

[fierce timber]

Well, hopefully they fix it soon. Vanilla stack sizes are a joke and stacking mods are trash because they all try to make them ez mode. I just want higher stack values without 50-90% weight reduction.

[last magnet]

I do custom stack sizes, and there's some lists floating around with the common resources and the stack size is 1000. I also boosted the weight stat per level, so I can carry those stacks of ingots

[tropic ginkgo]

hi on nitrado what does the difficutly ofset need to be for 150 dinos ect

6.5?

[celest halo]

😂 thats the best way to have noone tell you

[bleak ivy]

offset to 1.0
override to 5.0

[tropic ginkgo]

eh?

ohhh

nvmind im blind

[celest halo]

i love ark patches 10sec to download 58.4mb update and 15min for it to patch the files 😂

[fierce timber]

What happens when you don't optimize your game and have numerous data chunks and instead have 1 massive data chunk

Hopefully this new small update fixed stacking in SP, but doubtful

No patchnotes either so in the dark

[bleak ivy]

most UE5 games have it that way. just ark is huge so its especially noticeable

its also not an optimization thing at all lol

[bleak ivy]

wouldn't be in them anyway. server updates are usually in one of the next client ones. if its not in this one, it'll be in the next

they usually don't clarify which server updates are included unless its important.

[celest halo]

client update fixed damage numbers on weapons and armor number on saddles icons

[vernal plank]

sweet

[spice wyvern]

That’s it??

[celest halo]

all i noticed lol

[keen apex]

Anyone know why when i teleport i cant open structure? Using awesome teleporters

[jolly dove]

wdym? I haven't seen a new client update drop, at least not a patch note

[celest halo]

was no patch notes

[celest halo]

#unofficial-setup-help message

[jolly dove]

oooh my game auto updated, didn't notice lol

nice nice

[celest halo]

lol

[red pecan]

yup. just not official.

[agile stone]

any news on unofficial transfers being fixed?

[fathom tinsel]

Not that I have seen. I still have a bunch of mods that seem broken like AA, RR and Tranq mods.

[agile stone]

Hmm not sure about the mods, we run all of those as well and they are updated and working. Did you uninstall them or something?

[fathom tinsel]

No, It seems like the structures are there but I can't place new ones from AA but I can build new structures from the ones I already have.
Maybe ill pull out all of my mats and drop them in boxes, remove the mod then re-add it? Not sure I feel like testing that tonight though.

[slow ginkgo]

im unable to transfer into club ark on our cluster - anyone else?

[agile stone]

My guess is the modders are aware, I would expect updates soon

[agile stone]

Known issue, saw that mentioned in general and it falls in line with the unofficial transfer issue

[fathom tinsel]

If we are lucky there might be a update this weekend but I would bet more on Monday/Tuesday.

[slow ginkgo]

ty for quick response, appreciate it

[agile stone]

No problem and hopefully sooner rather than later, I pulled my entire cluster down and shutdown my server until we get word of a fix, no point in wasting energy and machine life on servers nobody can play

[tranquil fossil]

Has anyone else seen issues with character transfer causing clients to crash? We're testing on my cluster and every time anyone tries to xfer to another server their client crashes.

Little extra info, the player does get uploaded into the cluster so they can download to another server in the cluster, but, man, if it's gonna crash everytime they xfer that's gonna suck. "Trust us! Unreal 5.5 will bring super awesome performance updates!"

[fathom tinsel]

Several people have reported server transfers are broken. It's best to not try for a few days at least.

[tranquil fossil]

Thanks for that info. I was over here worrying that maybe this time it wasn't a WC derp and a me derp lol. Shoulda know.

[olive talon]

Can move to dms or #general

[dusky fjord]

When are these modes getting fixed. Everything is invalid

[olive talon]

Curseforge is working on it

[fathom tinsel]

But #general feels dirty.....

[olive talon]

This channel has a dedicated topic. Off topic comments will be removed. Can move to dms or general

[tranquil fossil]

At any rate, thanks for the info. Going to turn off xfers for the time being. Hopefully that gets sorted sooner rather than later.

[young dove]

Is anyone else using the option to move the .arkprofile data into the actual map database rather than having them as individual files? I'm thinking about enabling that due to problems with profiles going missing during failed transfers but have been really hesitant to do so given all the other reliability problems with transfers and ARK in general.

[fathom tinsel]

I tried with the last time I had server problems but it didn't seem to help. I just ended up backing up all of my files and rebuilding from scratch. I think it was a docker issue causing my problems then though.

[late breach]

i did difficultyoffset = 1 and overrideofficialdifficulty 10

but still cant find any dinos that are close to 300

[tepid berry]

Yes, I'm using it, and it works wonderfully. You shouldn't run a server without it. In fact, Wildcard actually put out an official recommendation that all servers use that flag if I recall. Or maybe it was just a patch note...

[versed minnow]

when changing the multiplier for dino and player water, food, and fortitude what are the numbers i use in the ini for each

[celest halo]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Stats_related

[molten glacier]

Since update our Server Crashes assoon more then One Player Try to Join, anyone an Idea where the Problem can be?

[sleek marsh]

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000000000d8
anyone else crashing with this on pc?

[tepid berry]

Yes lots of people, but this channel is for server operators

[sleek marsh]

kk. i have someone trying to say its my cluster thats the issue

[tepid berry]

Its not.

[sleek marsh]

didnt think so. i cant login for more than 30 seconds on pc before crashing out. they said theyve tried 3 other servers and have had no issues

[tepid berry]

A mod can certainly make it more frequent, but almost everyone has SOMETHING going on right now

I'm not crashing every 30s, maybe once every few hours or if I try to cluster xfer

[sleek marsh]

yeah, i was fine until i tried to transfer, then i lost my implant, and keep crashing. dying managed to get my implant back, but the crashing still persist

[tepid berry]

Yep same with everyone.

Hope you have backups

[sleek marsh]

Is there a way to delete a players data? Essentially making them make a new character?

[frigid vine]

Good Morning! The recent Community Crunch says ActiveEvent=Anniversary but if you click on the link to the Overview of the previous CR, it says ActiveEvent=Birthday

Should we switch it now? Any Problems with that?

[warm lake]

Someone knows how to disable the display of Warning: Incompatible Mods

[lusty hare]

Any updates for the console mods to be fixed?

[heady flax]

No....

[scarlet pilot]

yep. just find their eos id number and delete that file in the saves

[toxic hazel]

Clean your mods folder, worked for me

[spark wedge]

Anyone else’s servers all down and showing like this GameSever- 20 slots

[frigid vine]

but in the latest CR they said -ActiveEvent=Anniversary so what now 😄

[olive talon]

If you're using Nitrado, you check the event drop down menu.

[frigid vine]

Thats not the point of my question 🙂

CR 461 says use -ActiveEvent=Anniversary
when clicking on "see details link" you got redirect to CR 460 which says use -ActiveEvent=Birthday

And no, i'm not using nitrado.

[olive talon]

No idea why they've put 2, sorry, but it is birthday

[tall raven]

anyone having issues with dinoexports especially with ark smart breeding?

[olive talon]

Tried joining the Ark Smart Breeding discord?

[tall raven]

Yep

Just wanted to see if it was an issue here too

[olive talon]

As this channel is for server setup help, you can try #bobs-with-probs or that discord.

[frigid vine]

Alright, then i will re-check later the CR, maybe they was just too tired 😄

[olive talon]

Everyone has been successfully using ActiveEvent=Birthday , so it's not likely that you'll have to check again but you're welcome

[bronze pilot]

Hello. We're having a problem on our server (Nitrado). When we try to start the server with a backup, it gets stuck in a reboot loop. Without a backup, it starts normally. Of course, none of the progress is there. What could be causing this?

this is in the restart log

[2025.06.07-08.36.20:540][ 0]LogCFCore: Detected OS Windows: 10.0.17763.3.272.64bit

[2025.06.07-08.36.20:545][ 0]LogCFCore: Error: No machine id was found

[2025.06.07-08.36.20:546][ 0]LogCFCore: UserContextInfo not loaded from disk

[frigid vine]

also true 🙂

[haughty cairn]

Probably a mod, we had issues with 1 mod, would not let us boot the server at all

[bronze pilot]

If we start the server without backup it runs without problems

and they are the same mods

[spare sentinel]

“Is anyone actually working on the issue that console players can’t join maps and therefore can’t play?”

[olive talon]

Both WC and CF are working on crashes and mod issues

[simple ruin]

Hey sorry if this issue has been talked about it , on PC windows server , trying to transfer to another map on cluster and client crashes or freezes every time i try , is this a WildCard Issue or a server setting i need to change ? thanks for any help

[tacit condor]

What is the best program to use for a dedicated server with mods? The one we used for evolved is different.

[rugged jasper]

Anyone know why all CS structures may have disappeared on unofficial server? We have transferred all character data, save files and updated to UE5.5 and updated all mods yet when we load in all CS structures are missing

[polar dagger]

known issue (while transfering to another map, client crash) for a lot of cluster server (some say without mod it should work, but not sure)

[simple ruin]

thanks , yeah i guess just wait for a patch from WildCard .

[river patrol]

When trying to go on unofficial it says content unable to load, but official and dedicated loads me in. Any suggestions? I’m on Xbox

[wild helm]

My server is crashing because of this but none if my players clients

[tepid badger]

Are the Stacking issues fixed yet?

[iron bronze]

Yea ^^

[keen apex]

anyone know how to fix not being able to open structures after teleporting with the mod awesome teleporters?

[real ingot]

So 3 of my 6 servers are working, the other 3 are stuck in a restart loop. They have the same mods across them all. I've even tried restoring a backup (assuming I did the right thing). Anyone able to provide any advice? (Nitrado)

[jade wraith]

After the major update (Unreal Engine 5.5 / Astraeos Update), my non-dedicated server, which is hosted on a dedicated PC and was working perfectly before, is no longer functional.
The server itself has already been updated with the latest patch, but players on PS5 are now unable to connect or join.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any fixes or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

[proven tinsel]

So, while our cluster is running so far the mods get installed (at least for steam players), but they can't use mod structures, engrams can't be learned and parts can't be placed. Is that also part of the WC/CF stuff?
Deleting and reinstalling didn't work so far.

[haughty badger]

Anyone know if the dear Jane mod is still necessary? If removed will the notes and skins stay?

[frigid vine]

Bro, this is obsolete since... puh... almost a year? 😄

[haughty badger]

If removed can new players on the server still find the notes for it?

[frigid vine]

hxxxps://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/708761-asa-pc-patch-notes-client-v66-server-v6637-updated06062025/

• Server 48.8/Steam client 48.7/PS5 48.4 - 07/03/2024
• "Dear Jane" mod content has been merged into the base game, so you no longer need to run the mod on your servers
• Yes, you can safely remove it

[haughty badger]

Ty

[raw stirrup]

Just curious if mods are working for crossplay servers on nitrado yet ? And if not would making it oc steam only allow mods to work ?

[minor canopy]

Dedicated server: once I enable mods then players get the unable to load content message. When i remove mods then they can join. Is there a fix for this yet?

Mods work on single player btw

[wheat jacinth]

Sorry if this has come up already, but has anyone figured out a fix to launch unofficial Astraeos Servers? I was able to load Extinction with out a hitch with the same settings and mod list. However my Astraeos server crashes while launching

[wild helm]

Are modded nitrado servers crashing too?

[bronze pilot]

our server is in a restart loop

[wild helm]

hmm okay okay

[normal canyon]

I have resources respawning in my base but they are not really there.

[wild helm]

Yeah

That is happening

[normal canyon]

is there a fix

[digital fox]

Just rebuilt our SE server and dropped the backups in and it fixed the issue as well.

[wild helm]

Waiting on wildcard

You can join server and then rejoin that seems to fix it

Someone said going out of render does too

[elder relic]

Hello, are you having problems with your ark nitrado servers? Since the update they no longer appear at all on ark for me and yet they are online on nitrado I don't understand where it could come from I tried restarting the total shutdown the backup resume nothing changes

[rocky raptor]

Goodmorning yall, I have a question lol. I set up a nitrado server last night and the only problem I'm having is, when you go to pick something up there isn't a "hold" option to give the wheel prompt. Instead, it's an instant pick up with just a click. Example, I went to open a door on my small hut and it picked a wall up instead of opening the door. Where the other servers we've had you had to hold a button for the wheel to pop up and then select "pick up." Anyone know what setting this would be in the nitrado settings?

Can that I got it lmao

[small ice]

anyone else having problems to tribe up with other players ?

[raw stirrup]

remove ur mods it should appear

[elder relic]

Thank for answer i will try

[raw stirrup]

be in the ini settings be structure pickup time or summin like that

[raw stirrup]

np mods seem to break it atm its annoying

[chilly torrent]

Console Workaround:

1. Delete all mods
2. Join server and let it download mods from the server listing
3. You'll get a failed to join message. Don't close this.
   There will be a mod counter in the top right saying x/0 mods updated.
4. Wait until x=the number of mods actually on the server
5. Close the error and back out to main menu. Don't close the application
6. Attempt to join the server again. It will download the mods again but faster
7. Cross your fingers you don't black screen
8. If you crash or black screen, restart app and start at step 1 again

[rocky raptor]

Thank you! Does setting the starvation multiplier to a lower number slow survivor starvation? A lot of us work and do a lot through the day so we're trying to set up a server that's slightly boosted with certain things being a little easier to manage

[raw stirrup]

yeah u wanna put it to .5 to slow it down by 50%

[rocky raptor]

Sweet, thank you!

[small ice]

anyone ?

[raw stirrup]

nope

[raw stirrup]

theres a setting on nitrado make sure u aint got allow tribes disabled

[small ice]

never changed that its after the server got back up or arrivabel lets say

[normal condor]

Hey yall, my Center server will not go past "Added Explorer Note Entry: DEARJANE_EXP_NOTE_7" Unless I rename the anticorruptionbackup file in the saved arks folder. If I try to just rename one of the other .ark files it gets stuck in the same place. When I load the server with the anticorruption backup all the structures are gone. I tried removing all mods, and the same thing happened. I have multiple backups of the entire server folder, so I tried going back to a pre 5.5 update version, updating it to 5.5 through cmd, and got the exact same results.

any ideas?

[barren ridge]

I did this like 5 times in a row and just gave up 😂 no ark for me until mods are fixed

[spice wyvern]

We’re just playing official for now with no mods - nothing like starting naked and afraid

[wise kindle]

Black screen?

[barren ridge]

Yep

[wise kindle]

Series S or X? Sorry, just curious

[barren ridge]

X

It takes like 20 minutes each time too for some reason, even though I have 200mb/sec+ internet

[swift dirge]

is this where i can ask about where to install mods for my singleplayer?

[wise kindle]

Yeah its appears to be random as its on all consoles that Ive asked so far, which points back to CF imo. I guess we wait abit longer.

[wise kindle]

#bobs-with-probs

[swift dirge]

thanks

[spice wyvern]

Mods aren’t working right now

[swift dirge]

i just bough evolved idk anything about the other game lol if its for the other game that is

[spice wyvern]

Through the steam workshop I’m seeing

Load Steam on your computer. At the top, click “LIBRARY” and then select your “ARK: Survival Evolved” game.
ARK: Survival Evolved selected in Steam Library
Within the game overview area, look at the tabs and locate the “Workshop” tab. Press this option to access the ARK: Survival Evolved Steam Workshop

[rocky raptor]

Soo, I'm having issues with my admin commands. I cannot get them to work. I have console access on, and I have the command prompt. However when I use any command it will not work. Do I have to select something in nitrado?

[young dove]

Pretty sure you're suppose to "log in" as Admin in the console first: enablecheats <your-admin-password>

[rocky raptor]

Yeah I did that as well still nothing lol

[young dove]

Then it's: admincheat <whatever-the-command-is>

What command are you trying to use?

[rocky raptor]

I'm just trying to get it to work lol, I get no prompt when I type the enablecheat and password. I was just trying to test it with the creative or flying mode. And nothing I may be typing something wrong

[young dove]

Yeah you don't get a confirmation when the admin login part works

[rocky raptor]

Ok, so I'm definitely typing something wrong. It's been trial and error right now lol

[young dove]

Simplest one to check would be: admincheat fly and see if you can fly.

I think it's "fly" anyway

[rocky raptor]

I'll try that thank you!

[spice wyvern]

Nope

[spice wyvern]

Nitrado server?

It’s due to curseforge this time around

[rocky raptor]

It worked, thank you! Sheesh

[celest halo]

mods are working fine if your not on console or using nitrado for your server host

[zinc locust]

Does anyone know if there are any issues with downloading ASE? The steam download page is showing 0 bytes for the download.
I've restarted steam, cleared cache, but no luck. My connection is good. Other games populate the correct download size when I click install.
OS: CatchyOS (Arch linux)
Storage: M.2 3.4Tb avail

[spice wyvern]

I’m not on console but I am on Nitrado for my server. I turned my maps off until curseforge gets that fixed. Currently playing official servers to get my fix

[rocky raptor]

Yeah I got it, how I do turn the command off now 🤣 I'm just flying around like a mad man

[wise kindle]

cheat walk

[rocky raptor]

Nice thank you

[high cloak]

Does anyone know what to do when I’m trying to log into ASE and it say „You could not be logged in to Xbox Live

You can't sign in to Xbox Live right now. Please try again later. If that doesn't work, you might be able to solve the problem with the following tips“

[drowsy current]

hey guys, my dedicated server instantly closes after a few seconds. Anyone know why?

[serene cypress]

So our astraeos server is working but we have no snow owls spawning. Is anyone else having this problem?

[celest halo]

have not looked for them yet, my astraeos reverted to saying its on day 1 🤣 but my base and all my dinos are is still there

[serene cypress]

Same with ours but we've gone and looked a couple times now. We also wiped all dinos and nothing.

[celest halo]

doing a dino scan says there is 3 snow owls on my map right now

[modest night]

Yeah, the dev said that he was working on day/night cycle cuz it was causing other issues and the fix reset the day counter but didnt affect any structures or tames

[plush kindle]

Has anyone figured out a way to fix not being able to transfer on servers? Can see the other maps but when uploading your character, the data never reaches the other map since the update.

Ignoring the client side crashing that happens when trying XD

[jagged garnet]

Ive got people jumping between all my servers without issue, I am not running any mods and I have a standard shared cluster set up. Maybe its a mod issue?

[plush kindle]

Are you using rented server, docker, proton, vm, or native windows?

[celest halo]

from what i have seen the crashing on transfers is only happening on modded servers

[jagged garnet]

I am using a dedicated, personal server Unit.

native windows

[plush kindle]

I’ll try it on our setup without mods, see if it is the mods

We are using proton

[modest night]

The majority of problems folks are having is because of curseforge. They and WC are trying to figure out the compatibility issue

[jagged garnet]

Backup and copy your files over to a temp file, Load it and test. Then you may be able to narrow down which mod/s that are causing the issues. Just gotta do like old schoold skyrim/GMod modding, one at a time for conflict, then when it crashes do just the mod that it crashed on to see if its the mod or a conflict between it and another.

[plush kindle]

The weird bit is, even if it was a mod issue, you would think the data would still make it to the other side even if corrupted

[celest halo]

the crashing issues on transfer is from just about all mods

[plush kindle]

I’m talking about the data moving into the proper folder itself and ignoring the crashing client side

[jagged garnet]

oof

[celest halo]

its something with how WC and CF do the version checks to make sure the client has the sameones the server has

[plush kindle]

Before even if you crashed on transfer, your character would be put into upload and you could just log onto the server you attempted to go to

And the character does go into upload, but the data cannot be reached on the other map

[celest halo]

that sounds like premissions issue

[plush kindle]

Almost like downloads are disabled, but they aren’t

That’s what I was wondering since they changed the files into a mutex

But that wouldn’t make sense if unmodded servers can transfer

This whole update has been a headache server side and client side

[jagged garnet]

are your servers all running the same mods? if not maybe it doesnt know what to do with it. If so then my next question is does the server target the correct cluster ID and does it generate a cloud file no matter what server you upload an item or creature from? does it do it with just characters, or just items, or creatures? Id test each thing to try and narrow down what your limits are. Maybe by uploading vanilla items you can still transfer things and hopefully worst case your peeps can transfer items and creatures via upload with empty chars to move around?

[celest halo]

every major update is a headache 😂

[humble thicket]

Not if you play vanilla and no mods 😂

[plush kindle]

Yes all the servers have the exact mods and no they cannot transfer even empty characters, yes the clustering is setup properly otherwise you would not even be able to see the maps on a transmitter.

There Is now a mutex being opened instead of a regular folder which is a wildcard change not our side.

And most the major updates don’t really bother us too much server side

[celest halo]

even vanilla has its issues, like cryopods stacking and duping dinos or deleting them, or when they wiped everyones dedicated storages

[jagged garnet]

yeah thats definately a wild card fumble. Im sorry, wish I could help.

[celest halo]

or the couple of times there update just deleted the game, and you had to redownload the full thing again after they fixed it

[humble thicket]

we have zero issues this update. honestly, hard to say, but its working really well for us. yes, the cryo stacking is a mess, but again, no major issues. all fine here

[plush kindle]

I’ll still try a test cluster, same settings no mods just to see. Unfortunately…. I can’t do much if it is mods right now

[jagged garnet]

Yeah I was trying to think of a way that mayber your players can still play all be it limited instead of just being told to sit on thier thumbs till wildcard makes a fix.

[plush kindle]

I mean the cryos stacking that shouldn’t be, the new crashes, lower performance, resources not disappearing, massive dupe possible on 5.5 launch, inability for consoles to download vanilla maps are all rather major issues that had nothing to do with mods

But then add the cf issues

[celest halo]

yeah i have no major issues either playing with mods, but also have no need to transfer to a different map right now

[plush kindle]

Our servers can run and all the mods fully work just can’t transfer, which kind of kills our servers as many people have bases and breeding programs on multiple maps

[celest halo]

as long as they fix transfers in the next week and a half before rag comes out, i be fine

[humble thicket]

the transfer is ass tho. im one of those who maintain multiple maps, and each has something else i usually need. and the crash is annoying. but not that bad. can live with that as long as they fix it soon

[celest halo]

i moved most of my good dinos and breeders to map im on before the update lol

[smoky glen]

It's stopping people even on official from joining club ark so it's prob not too low on the priority list

[plush kindle]

I mean we have 300+ members, that’s not an option for me haha

[celest halo]

yeah im on Astraeos so i can get most things that would normally need other maps for

[celest halo]

yeah, who knows with WC they not good at giving any info or updates about things

CF has giving more info about the issues consoles are having with mods then WC has 😂

[plush kindle]

Truth with some cheese on it

[gentle niche]

wht does 'no machine ID was found' mean lol my server still starts but i get this error in steamcmd 💀

[celest halo]

its a CF thing, im just ignoring it

[crystal sail]

How do I join the cf discord

[celest halo]

bottom of there website has a join our discord link

[crystal sail]

Okay thankyou

[pallid olive]

Hi guys, have you found a solution to the transfer problem?

[elder hill]

are servers fked or something?

[celest halo]

yeah dont play on a modded server if you want to transfer

[celest halo]

or something

[agile stone]

Pretty sure it's not just modded unofficial servers that can't transfer. I put up Test Server #2 and tried to transfer from 1 to 2, both unmodded and same issue.

[drowsy current]

mine just closes, for whatever the hell reason. I've been asking here and nobody answers it

[celest halo]

you check the log file, because "just closes" is not enough info to even guess as to why

[agile stone]

I'm guessing this has something to do with distinguishing between an official and unofficial server network, or something of that nature. It feels a bit nefarious, my servers still boot up and run and I get that error as well. I've never seen it till after the patch happened. I mean we are all guessing, but I have a feeling this has something to do with classifications.

[frigid vine]

The problem is already figured out with the transfer issue:

hxxps://survivetheark.com/index.php?/bugs/arksa-server-transfer-is-not-working-game-crashes-r92455/

[latent rune]

My cluster has had no issues with transfers between any of the maps at all, been thankful for the minimal problems!

[agile stone]

I'm gonna give that a shot, but I highly doubt that's gonna magically fix transfers for unofficial servers. So, empty the inventory, kill the character, then attempt a transfer.. got it.

[frigid vine]

Did you read the bugreport from my side? I never said this 🙂 It will not work, even you're naked char / inventory.
Workaround is: Join any map your cluster, but not target ones (to prevent timeout). After crash start joining your target map, download your char, all good.

[agile stone]

Oh yeah yeah you can transfer that way, my complaint was more or less than you can't just go to the transmitter, choose your map, and transfer over anymore. you can still get there, but you have to manually download the character to the map instead of simply doing it the way it was intended.

That's how I've been getting around for the time being myself actually, I wanted to go check out Astraeos after the update and was originally on the Center lol.

[tepid cairn]

I suppose I should be thankful that only 6 out of the 32 mods we run are completely borked right now, ironically tho, Love Ascended is on that list lol.

[elder hill]

Redone all ports etc, can't start the servers, ticking loop. I've seen a few post about it, is this an issue recently?

[modest night]

I play on xbox so i have no idea about steam stuff, HOWEVER , yours sounds rather unique ( as its the first time ive seenvyhat issue) . I would highly suggest gather as much info as you can about your error and submit it on a ticket to WC . Guaranteed someone else has seen that but may not have reported it.

[agile stone]

Yeah sorry if I don't comment on certain issues, if I haven't experienced them or found a workaround I tend not to respond purposely in case someone else has managed to figure it out. 😛

[warm oriole]

Any update on the Xbox mod issue fix?

[agile stone]

Haven't heard anything at all in this channel about any progress being made on anything today honestly. Jesse and elephant I don't think I've ever seen say a word in here, not that it wouldn't be nice to have a candid conversation with the Developers and to actually have meaningful exchanges with them. Unfortunately, the majority of the Ark community is toxic as hell and it just isn't possible unless you work for Wildcard lol. Then again, if you worked for them, you'd have to bend knee to the hierarchy and wouldn't say what you mean or how you feel to Jesse or Jeremy anyways. 😛 I think we're gonna have better luck watching #general or #ark-survival-ascended

[fathom tinsel]

FYI, I was having a lot of problems with mods. AutomatedArk, RR-Tranqs, QOL+ (still problems with the Gardner/farmer though). Forcing my server to re-download all of the mods seems to have fixed it but I did have to go re-learn the custom engrams from the mod and had to go learn the non-custom requirements first or it wouldn't learn the mod engrams.

I deleted the subfolder "83374" in this path: /ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ShooterGame/Mods

[warm oriole]

For sure, and yea general seems to be a constant spam of complaints right now. Like we all love the game might as well try and make it easier on them to actually fix it.

[agile stone]

I think my plan once the unofficial servers are fixed for all platforms, is to restore my backup from June 4th, assuming the mod authors for the mods we still haven't seen get upgraded to the new engine do so, and then that should hypothetically restore the missing structures, our cluster runs 32 mods, but of those 32 a few critical mods are causing big problems atm.

UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod. [927084] Love Ascended
UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod. [928621] Utilities Plus
UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod. [935528] Visual Storage (Cross Platform)
UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod. [928597] Automated Ark
UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod. [935408] Der Dino Finder
UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod. [929578] AP: Death Recovery [Cross-platform]

So not too bad, but still aggravating. Unfortunately, this isn't all WC, this is mod authors as well.

[fathom tinsel]

Automated Ark is working for me now. I didn't check the Dino finder when I logged in. Ill check it the next time I log in but deleting the mods and having the server re-download it did the trick for me. When I logged in my client downloaded 2 mods that were previously not working so I think they were corrupted in the update or something.

[agile stone]

Hmmm, i wonder why it spit those errors out at me, on boot it did update them, watched it in the logs, but it still complained.. Might have to just remove and readd them all.

[fathom tinsel]

I would try deleting them directly without deleting the mod data first. It seemed to work for me.

[warm oriole]

Yea, I’m on Xbox so mod side everything is showing invalid but server side I’ve not gotten any crash reports or errors so there’s good news there

Tho I’m not %100 on where to check for error reports with nitrado

[tough cypress]

Who wants to Play ark with me dm me

[agile stone]

#1110949794907684965 would probably be a better channel to find friends to play the game with, most of us here are trying to fix servers not play on em 😛

Think I'm gonna go check our Conan servers and play awhile, not feeling like struggling with Ark servers again today haha, ttys

[wild helm]

you need to delete the mod folders from your server and let it it reinstall them on server boot up

for sure automated ark has been updated

[celest halo]

more updates without info

ARK: Survival Ascended (2399830:public)
Released: June 7, 2025 3:04 PM,
Today at 3:06 PM

[wild helm]

i mean depending on time zone that could have just release

technically in the future for me

[celest halo]

its in EST

[agile stone]

It's 3:11 est here, so I bet its est

lol jinx

[deft lily]

I’m on a steamcmd created cluster playing on Xbox with no mods. When I go to transfer within my cluster from astraeos to the island, I crash. Is or has there been any reported temp/hot fix for this?

[jaunty vortex]

Utilities Plus should work. You could use Death Recovery Mod instead, mod ID 930404

[agile stone]

Known issue.

[agile stone]

Yeah, I'm gonna actually take out the AP Death Recovery once I update everything manually, I use the Omega Teleporters which has a death recovery in it I believe, so no need for both.

[deft lily]

I guess this is going to have to be a WC patch wait?

[agile stone]

Yuuuup. I'm guessing some time next week before we see it resolved. You are technically able to transfer, but you have to use a work around. Your character will go into the cloud, then you directly connect to your target server, download the character, and play. It's not ideal, but it does work. My biggest concern is if you tame something, gather something you want to keep, is it going to transfer that stuff back or will you lose it the minute you try? lol.

[spice wyvern]

It should, in theory, transfer whatever you have with you in your inventory

[deft lily]

Thank you for your incite. You have been the first to respond to me today and I thank you. Hope you have a good one kind sir.

[agile stone]

My pleasure, and good luck 🙂

Hmmm, having a hard time finding the mods on the server.. Haruhost nests them somewhere, I just can't seem to find it atm. Mods are all .pak files I believe, so I just need to search those up.

Ahhh I found it, boy is that nested lol.

[spark wedge]

What’s the best shop mod, so that my players can transfer points between maps

[agile stone]

Hand's down, Woolypenguin's Wshop has always been my go to, I tried Arkshop at one point, but Wooly's is nice.

[spark wedge]

Can’t find it mate?

[agile stone]

You'll have to google his site, he doesn't operate via workshop or curseforge, if you can get his discord info that's the best way to contact him

[spark wedge]

You got link?

[agile stone]

I sent ya a dm

I should have probably mentioned he sells his plugins, they aren't free, but if you're looking for a premium and customizable shop, he's amazing. He's pricey tho, but given his experience with UE and coding, you are paying a fair price.

[acoustic charm]

Does anyone know how to get engrams from other maps onto my astraeos server? Tamed a managarmr but the saddle doesn't appear in the engrams

[agile stone]

Do you have admin privelages, you could grant yourself the engram.

[acoustic charm]

Yes I'm the admin. Not sure how to do it. I tried the "giveallengrams" cheat but didn't work

[agile stone]

Kinda strange tho, you should be able to learn that engram if you tamed a Mana on Extinction (which I think is the only place they are available atm?) it should have showed up already in your engram list.

[acoustic charm]

I tamed it today on astraeos

New area has managarmr and snow owls. Neither engram show up

[celest halo]

they might of forgot to add them to the map

or you need to make sure you have the Extinction dlc installed

[acoustic charm]

That's what I'm thinking. I can click the engrams for other maps to atleats show in my list. But they're greyed out

[agile stone]

Yeah that's what I was about to say.

[acoustic charm]

I could try the extinction dlc I suppose. I'm on Xbox, would that matter

[agile stone]

They made it so certain specific creature engrams are only available on the maps they originate from unfortunately, Asraeos will probably receive an update eventually tho.

[acoustic charm]

Thanks for the help regardless. Will try downloading extinction if I don't already have it and see

[agile stone]

As for my mod problem, thank you, manually removing the mods from the server files worked, I'm going to systematically go down the list and remove them from all the maps and restart the servers and see if that resolves the issues.

[celest halo]

WC moving all the maps out of base and to there own dlc download has messed with somethings

[agile stone]

For anyone using haruhost server manager: the Mod folder is nested:

C:\HaruHost\_haruhost-data\gameservers\12345-12345-12345-12345\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\Mods

If you're still looking for it. lol.

[fathom tinsel]

I hope its client side crashes. I have had a couple so far.

[fathom tinsel]

If you are the admin you should be able to just give it to yourself via the GFI code. "cheat gfi IceJumperSaddle 1 1 0"

[celest halo]

i have had none, but also havnt played for more then like an hour at a time

[acoustic charm]

I'll try now

[fathom tinsel]

Mine could have been mod related. I was having a lot of issues with mods until I wiped the mod folder on the server and had the server re-download them all.

[fathom tinsel]

Also, if you have a blueprint bench mod you can turn it into a blueprint so you and other people can make them as well.

[celest halo]

changing the last 0 to a 1 should give the blueprint instead lol

[acoustic charm]

I tried but its not working

I've never played on a server but it used to work in my single player/non dedicated

Typed in "cheat gfi icejumpersaddle 1 1 1"

Also tried 1 1 0

[agile stone]

hmmm.. you could try the full bp path for the saddle instead, sometimes it can get picky

[acoustic charm]

I also enter bautogiveengrams=true into ini files but didn't seem to work

[celest halo]

you do the EnableCheats command with the admin password to become admin on the server

[acoustic charm]

I have that cause I do volumetriccloud/fog and those work

Maybe I should enable creative mode in my settings for a minute and then I should be able to get one?

[agile stone]

I'd cheat fly and see if you do or not, make sure you're logged in as admin, if you fly, cheat walk and type this:

cheat unlockengram "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis/Dinos/Cherufe/PrimalItemArmor_CherufeSaddle.PrimalItemArmor_CherufeSaddle'"

and see if that works.

[acoustic charm]

1 sec

Cheat fly did not work

[agile stone]

Alright so in console you have to type enablecheats youradminpassword

then try flying again hehe

[acoustic charm]

Ok let me try

[celest halo]

that could be why cheat gfi icejumpersaddle 1 1 1 didnt work either

[acoustic charm]

Thinking the same

[celest halo]

if ya cant cheat fly server dont think you an admin

[acoustic charm]

This all applies to nitrado server right?

Lol

[celest halo]

all dedicated servers dont mater where hosted

[agile stone]

yuuuup. 🙂

[acoustic charm]

Urghh still nothing

Doesn't seem to be giving me the admin access which is weird

[celest halo]

double chack admin pass

[agile stone]

Just had a funny thought as I envision how this upgrade actually went.. you know those cartoons back in the old days where the cartoon characters jump into a fight and all you see is swirly lines, stars flying out of it, puffs of smoke, crashing texts etc? That reminds of exactly how this upgrade to 5.5 went lmao.

[acoustic charm]

Hah its a 3 letter word

Enablecheats ***

[gentle niche]

anyone know what this did lol?

[acoustic charm]

Do i need parentheses or anything?

[celest halo]

nope

[agile stone]

I'm gonna just assume that if we didn't get any hint as to what they may have fixed, changed, etc, that it's stuff we don't need to know about, under the hood, protected stuff. If it's big enough to affect the overall population tho, we'll hear about it.

[meager solar]

I’m not really sure where I’m supposed to ask this because I just joined the discord specifically for this but me and a friend have a tribe and it’s only us. Unfortunately on PlayStation there’s a glitch where if you don’t error yourself before changing servers your entire character gets lost in space and time because it’s technically not on either of the worlds. Having said that my friend is in this predicament and I can’t invite them back because I wasn’t admin previously and now because my friend doesn’t have access to their old character I can’t get admin. If they invite me to a new tribe am I going to loose access to all of my tames and buildings or is there a work around?

[celest halo]

the one yesterday fixed missing info from weapon/saddle and other icons think thats kind of a big one that affected everyone 🤣

[agile stone]

That's not really how it works though, the lost character should be uploaded to the cloud, so if your friend or whoever lost the character disconnects and reconnects to the server they transferred from, it should be downloadable. However I am strictly a Steam user, so it may differ slightly. There are ways with admin to get your stuff back yes, an admin can simply force join the targeted tribe structure, make themselves the tribe founder, and then reinvite you into the tribe, transfer ownership, and all will be well.

[meager solar]

Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way on PlayStation that we’ve found, we have tried to download characters before and it just dose genuinely nothing

[agile stone]

If that's the case, and you can't retrieve the character, you or he will lose the progression, but not necessarily lose your tribe stuff, there are some commands you can execute to re-take your tribe structures and rejoin it, I don't have it at the top of my memory banks right now but it's ForceJoinTribe and MakeTribeFounder or something similar to it. I'd do that, then you can get your stuff back without losing everything.

[meager solar]

We’re not admin in the server itself that would be a lot easier to fix lol sorry for the confusion

I wasn’t owner of the tribe when their character got booted from existence

[agile stone]

Yeah if its an unofficial, contact the admin of the server, they can do it easily for you, if you're on official, don't bother contacting customer service lol, you are screwed unfortunately and it's start all over 😛

[meager solar]

We can try to contact an admin

We got it figured out thank you so much!!

[agile stone]

🤢 and now we update 8 mods just to log in and see if said mod re-downloads and transfers are working. lol.

[fathom tinsel]

I have determined that QoL+ not only has some issues but its no longer supported. I am removing it but people are suggesting replacing it with "Cybers Structures QoL+"

[agile stone]

<--- using CS instead

Darc has a nice version of a Structures+ derivative as well

[celest halo]

CS or B+

[agile stone]

lol loaded into the fresh restart of the servers and had no gear, nothing in inventory, etc. even my hotbar is all grayed out. Arked again! 😄

[fathom tinsel]

I had that happen once. I logged out then back in again and everything was back. It was strange.

The server had crashed and restarted in between.

[agile stone]

Hmmm, I may need to try a relog, I'm not too concerned honestly, nothing I can't admin magic back 😛

Well it made it further this time on the transfer attempt, this time I got the screen showing me starting to transfer and then a UE demolition derby crash:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000000000000d8

lol it is what it is, I'm gonna direct connect to Astraeos, I haven't really tried playing it much short of wyvern egg hunting, and even then, the spawns for eggs is atrocious.

[fathom tinsel]

hah, I added CS+ and now attempting to load in I am just getting a black screen. x.x

Ahh it was client side. Log's didn't even show me getting to the server. A reload did it.

[cinder radish]

I haven't been keeping up with the latest news... are xbox users that use mods(unofficial)still not able to join? Is there something I need to do to be able to play?

[agile stone]

To be fair, we haven't really heard anything since yesterday, what changes they have made today have been silently done. No patch notes, etc.

[celest halo]

not sure im not in the CF discord and everything i have seen about it being worked on has come from that discord, WC has said nothing on the issue

[leaden temple]

I don't really know much about servers but I tried looking around and can't find the option the add the birthday event to my nitrado server i'm not sure if maybe its still not added to nitrado yet or not if anyone has any ideas

[cinder radish]

Well shoot. Okay. Thank you.

[celest halo]

its in the event drop down in there GUI under genral tab

[leaden temple]

okay ty! ill look

[silent stream]

I bought a server like 45 mins ago, have restarted multiple times and changed the name and still cannot find it on the server list. Ive enabled the different filters to look for it, searched for it with the different filters and got the correct map selected

[spice wyvern]

Do you have a password on it? Have password servers checked on the list if so?

[celest halo]

nitrado servers can take upto 30min to fully install after ordering it

[silent stream]

yeah, i have a password and have checked the box for that

[silent stream]

alright might just have to wait then

[exotic orbit]

We have been doing some testing on our server cluster and we have been able to get transfers working in a limited fashion. Client still crashes on every transfer but you are able to download your character on the destination server properly.

We fixed it by deleting all the files in the cluster directory

I am assuming they changed the file format for the cluster files with 5.5 so old files were causing transfers to not work properly

[half trout]

Files still showing up broken😭 any clue as to the progress to the fixes on consoles?

[rocky raptor]

How do I get this admin gun to destroy structures and wild dinos? I've been testing things and want to get rid of some stuff but I can destroy anything with it

[sand nexus]

Can you help? Netrado didn't save any changes and all the mods still have problems. It's the second day and you haven't been able to solve the problems.

[cunning trail]

-ActiveEvent=Birthday not working for me. Anyone else get it working properly?

[celest halo]

works fine for me

[spice wyvern]

You using Nitrado?

[cunning trail]

No, self hosted.

[celest halo]

how you testing to see if its working or not

[cunning trail]

Windowsgsm. I put the argument just after where -mods= is and mods always seemed to work. Ill try a couple more time

[cunning trail]

In server. Looking for any craftables or party dodos

[celest halo]

you check the smithy

[cunning trail]

Yeah

And fireplace. Wasn't sure which to check

[celest halo]

i put the -Activeevent=birthday before -mods=

[cunning trail]

Ok ill try that.

[exotic orbit]

I used -Activeevent=birthday for the event and it worked on our server the way you are doing it didn't work for me either

[plucky mantle]

u have a fix this error?

[exotic orbit]

We got transfers working on our cluster by deleting the cluster directory files but clients still crash but the character is in the upload on the destination server so you have to wait for the connection to timeout and disconnect

Janky but it works

[fathom pivot]

Hello, good morning, evenening or night. I have an issue in which the game says i need to buy DLCs for mods that never needed them before. I guess this issue happened thanks to the new update where you won't download all maps. Is there any way of fixing it?

[plucky mantle]

The problem is that I get crashes even when walking on the beach.

[ornate narwhal]

Anyone else having issues joining a friend on non dedicated servers?

[red juniper]

theres no way around, you woud need to go to the ark page and add said mod to your library

[fathom pivot]

ok? I will try... But i'm talking about ASA... So 'im not sure how i'm supposed to do that

[celest halo]

go to your steam libarary click ark, then click dlc scroll down and hit the new releases tab, then add the dlcs to your libaray

[fathom pivot]

ok ty

[stuck wigeon]

anyone getting this error? [2025.06.07-22.19.25:300][ 0]LogCFCore: Error: No machine id was found

[celest halo]

thats from cf ignore it

[agile stone]

Yup, for whatever reason we're seeing it now. 😛

[stuck wigeon]

Well im getting a crash that seems mod related

[celest halo]

its not from that error, all my servers say that and are running fine

[exotic orbit]

We just brought up our entire cluster to the public so we will see how things go

[stuck wigeon]

Yeah I believe its a mod issue. That was just the only error I was getting on startup. Trying to get my cluster online, lol been down for 2 days

[agile stone]

Us as well, I just tested transfering tho, it's still crashing with an UE access violatoin error, but the mods are holding steady and the servers aren't crashing for us.

[exotic orbit]

Cleared the cluster directory so people can transfer with the expectation of crashes on every transfer but seems to be working when you log back in on the destination server you are in upload there

It is just a client crash though

[stuck wigeon]

Think this is the worst ive ever seen an update wreck stuff. Lol

[celest halo]

most of the problems arent even WC 😂

[agile stone]

Actually pretty used to it, any half significant patch messes with unofficials lol, it's usually due to slow mod updates tho

[prime rampart]

Anybody know if mods are still broken?

[rocky raptor]

Hey, so I'm on xbox, and I know there is a console command area to type some commands in when you pause then hit the 2 squares. Isn't there another menu I can pull up to type commands in? We've used it before and I cannot find out what button to press or hold to pull that control panel up.

[celest halo]

CF messed up all the console version of mods, who knows what nitrado did that people couldnt start servers with mods

[agile stone]

Heh can't answer that one, I don't do console gaming :/ But yes there's a console window that you can access. I've seen people do it in videos.

[rocky raptor]

Yeah and every video I see they're using a keyboard, and at the moment I do not have one lmao

[fallow crypt]

You gotta activate it on your settings in game like pc

[rocky raptor]

What would it be under? I have everything active for the console command, so I can use that. However, I'm trying to spawn kibble to test this maturation rate annd yeah. None of the commands are working. I'm assuming I'd have to use that menu.

[agile stone]

probably advanced settings? developer console or something named appropriately?

[rocky raptor]

Nothing there just "console access" which I have on.

[agile stone]

AI Overview
To access the console in Ark: Survival Ascended on Xbox using an Xbox controller, you can press LB + RB + X + Y simultaneously

[bleak ivy]

thats incorrect

[agile stone]

lol sorry, that's all I could find 😄

[agile stone]

Ahhh nice, where'd you get that image from?

[bleak ivy]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#Opening_the_console

screenshot of the wiki lol

[agile stone]

lol I didn't even think to go look at the wiki.. DOH!

[bleak ivy]

yay, I finally got my bat file for updating working lol.

[last magnet]

bat files can be so fiddly

[agile stone]

Yeah that's kinda why I decided against it this time, I did that for ASE for most of it's life, I did have ASM installed but I had some strangeness using it and decided cron jobs and .bat files was a better idea.

[bleak ivy]

especially when you are stupid lol.
I had it do open instead of start

I realized it was wrong when I checked my server start bat lol.

[last magnet]

ooops

[agile stone]

hehehe well "congo rats" anyways 🙂

[last magnet]

I forgot to reinstall the ARK API on one of my servers and wondered why it refused to start

[agile stone]

hahahah it's calling for the api executable but you ain't got it installed! 🙂

[last magnet]

I noticed it last night/early this morning and was like okay, turn off the server and get some sleep before fixing it

[agile stone]

Just wait till you get to my age, I spent the majority of my morning looking for my keys, the one place I didn't check.. in my own frickin' pocket.

[last magnet]

my keys have a home, a hook near the door I always use to leave the house

I say as I look at the side table where I dropped them after we did an errand earlier

[agile stone]

Usually it's a bowl on the dining room table, but lately it's been home to a large bag of curtain hangers lol

[last magnet]

lol

a clear surface in my house attracts things like a magnet

[rocky raptor]

Yeah I can do that, but there's like a black menu you can pull up as well. The normal one from pause is what I've been using but there's a whole different command area as well. And every video I watch on YouTube has a keyboard and they double press "~" which drops a black menu down

[bleak ivy]

yeah, you need a keyboard/mouse to use that one. even on consoles.

controllers use the one in the menu

[rocky raptor]

Weird. I've pulled it up on controller before I just wasn't admin

[agile stone]

omg it's so hard building after doing so in other games, I keep hitting all the wrong keys ugh.. I was building a new base in Palworld during the chaos here and now I can't get my brain rewired to build this place on Astraeos lol

[rocky raptor]

And now my admincheat won't activate 😭 lmao

[agile stone]

facepalms .. better check yer password 😄

[rocky raptor]

😅 being a host is terrible

[agile stone]

lol I mean it can be, but as a server owner, I've really come to love doing it over the years, fixing things, adjusting rates, handling issues, I spent quite a bit of time as tier 3 support for microsoft and Dell, so I've always loved managing servers and things. Granted, when someone throws a patch that literally blows up the servers, I do get a little cranky. 😛

[rocky raptor]

Lol yeah, this is my first time hosting. I usually have my friend do it, however he gets stressed out and can't just play the game. So I figured I'd host this time, and yeah. Been raw dogging it from the start with trial and error

[last magnet]

I've been doing my own server cluster for a year now

[ivory shuttle]

Can anyone help with modding drops and stuff like that?

[livid portal]

can someone help me with my server i cant find it at all when i start it up

[agile stone]

Ugh I started about 3 weeks after they released the first Counter-strike: Source servers, been running game servers ever since 🙂

[last magnet]

I use Beacon Omni to do those, I won't touch the code by hand at all

[rocky raptor]

Lol dang, that's a good amount of time. I'm excited to get better at this. But holy cow it's a process with just a console. That's the biggest issue right now.

[ivory shuttle]

I don't have beacon or omni ability

[agile stone]

That's a loaded issue, one that leads down a dozen different rabbit holes to figure out. First thing you should establish tho, is if it's a hosted session or an unofficial full server setup?

[livid portal]

its a unoffical server for me and 3 of my friends

[agile stone]

Have you double checked all the ports and done all the port forwarding so that steam can communicate with the server and post your server to the listing?

[livid portal]

no i didnt know i had to do that because last time i did this it just popped up

[agile stone]

Yep you need to open the correct ports for your configuration, port forward, etc.

Don't forget Winblows Firewalls as well

[livid portal]

okay ima go watch a yt video on how thanks

[agile stone]

Np, good luck and happy learning!

[celest halo]

ASA dont need portfowarding to show up on the server list, it only needs it so people can connect to it

[agile ridge]

Hey all. I was finally able to get my server up and running through Nitrado. Apparently the Astraeos Greek Clothing Mod doesn't work (Project.....). Once I deleted that I was able to find my server, however it shows as Day 1 when we are hundreds of days in, so I have to restore a backup or something?

[celest halo]

ASA uses EOS not steam for matchmaking

[livid portal]

you think thats why mine isnt popping up? i dont have many mods but that might be it

[agile stone]

Ahhh that's right, I forgot about that lol.. I'm sitting in front of a rack with several different machines, so it's a little different for me, but your right it should post unless antivirus or something is blocking it.

[agile ridge]

Could be, look for that one as it was my issue.

[livid portal]

what do i look for in the mods? like what should i see, i am in the files and description and extc

[celest halo]

#unofficial-setup-help message

[agile ridge]

Go into your server on Nitrado and under WebInterface find the CurseForge Mods. Just make sure one loaded isn't Project 1....... Cant remember the name exactly

[agile ridge]

Thank you my Friend!!

[livid portal]

okay sorry for this but like what do you mean project 1?

i sent u a dm of what page i am on btw if that helps at all

[rocky raptor]

Anyone know why my admin cheat commands aren't working? They were just working. Now I can't get the God creative mode to work.

[gentle niche]

oh god, what is garbage collection triggered! in steamcmd window, its non stop XD

[celest halo]

you dont want it to stop 😂

WC could of set it to not show in the console though 🤣

[gentle niche]

Oh XD what does it mean?

[celest halo]

its what all games use to remove unneeded assets from memory

[agile stone]

lmao well I'm glad I am not the only one wondering what in the hell that was in the log 😛

[deft lily]

I see constant complaints about mods not working. In which to me is just irrelevant and irritating. I don’t use mods and yet I can’t really play the game since UE 5.5 first due to the now resolved cryopod bug. Now the transfer crash. My cluster is 5 maps and I can’t play as I did. Any advice, suggestions, help? My cluster is created with steamcmd and myself along with friends play on Xbox and ps. Anything would be appreciated.

[celest halo]

WC is only one that can fix the transfer crash bug

[deft lily]

That’s what I was afraid of. Thank you for your input.

[main agate]

Does anyone know how to have someone join ur game VIA invited them through the nondedicated server? It has not worked since the update

[spring anvil]

You don’t need to do a backup the mod creator already addressed why maps show as day one.

[celest halo]

yup and its something WC should of included in the patch notes for it 😂

[agile ridge]

So, we use the Structures+ mod and it seems like none of the structures created with this mod are available. We lost almost everything. 😢

[agile stone]

It's an extremely slippery slope when you're choosing which mods to use for structures, QoL+ getting abandoned caused us some issues, CS (Cyber Structures) is very active tho, and I think if there ever came a day when the modder didn't wanna do it anymore, it would probably be made freeware for others to pick up and continue on with. But yeah, any mod you choose could potentially be a problem, some who decide to try their hand in modding don't realize once you release a mod, it's expected you'll maintain that mod.

[flat flume]

Anyone else having issues where players cannot invite eachother to tribe?

[harsh pendant]

Is anyone having a problem on there xbox s bot being able to connect or download mods

[white wharf]

welcome to the console community's current problem lol.. everyone i believe is having issues at the moment

[fathom tinsel]

Replaced QoL+ with CS+. Forgot to make new bins and remove all of the mats and gear first. At least we don't have a lot of people on the server. We lost a lot of stuff and I could roll back to a backup but we just gave up and moved forward.
Yeah, if a mod is no longer supported it can take a big hit on your server.

[lean rune]

Is anyone else having the problem where the only map that will start up is extinction? We have tried modded and vanilla maps yet the only one that will allow the server to actually start is extinction, how do we fix this?

[pearl needle]

Yall. If I were to host a small server for me and my siblings on Ark ascended . I have an unused device with 64gb of ram and a 5600g processor. (5 people most)
How many maps yall think I can run?

[viscid estuary]

6 maps without problem.

[compact goblet]

hey guys how do i increase the tamed dino weight level up stat?

[pearl needle]

Wonderful. Is there an application you’d recommend for me to run them?

[balmy plover]

do we have to wipe the server for them to work?

[spice wyvern]

What kind of server? Through Nitrado?

[last magnet]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Players_and_tames_levels_override_related this has the code and where to place it. Nitrado I think offers a way to input those? I self host so Beacon writes my ini and copies to my server config files.

scroll down a bit and it explains the stats which is similar to the levels. I grabbed the wrong link apologies

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier corrct link

[lone raft]

I’m the only one who can’t download castle keep fort mod ?

[pearl needle]

Can I run multiple maps without anything other than steamcmd?

[river meadow]

Were the port forwarding requirements changed by the shift to UE 5.5?

[young dove]

No

[river meadow]

Copy that, thank you. Trying to troubleshoot my inability to access my friends vanilla server. He is on PC, I am on PS5.

[agile stone]

Just make sure whomever is hosting the server has crossplay enabled.

not sure I can post a link but you can put this in and watch it if using Nitrado. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H3Ru8RhPZI

[river meadow]

Crossplay is enabled. He has checked and verified that. He just logged into his PS5 and was able to access his server (hosted locally on his PC). Yet, myself and two others are unable to access his server.

[agile stone]

If you are running any mods, deactivate and reactivate them and try to connect, sometimes the mods can cause the inability to connect

[river meadow]

The server is vanilla and I have uninstalled all mods on my end.

[agile stone]

Have the server owner verify the file integrity, you do the same, normally any issues arise from conflicting data, since he was able to log in and play on it, I'd say verify on your side and see if you can get connected.

[river meadow]

Will do. Thanks for the input Rio!

[agile stone]

No problem, I wish you luck 🙂 I'm gonna head to bed, been watching this channel all day with no news, time to go watch a movie and hopefully get a few hours of sleep lol 😄

[river meadow]

Enjoy the evening!

[earnest socket]

Good evening everybody I hope everybody's day or night is going good I have the Astraeos DLC map and for some reason there are islands or Island at the bottom of the map and I cannot get to it.. when I hang the in game map on the wall of my base it showed an island at the bottom of the map for some reason it is not allowing me to go there every time I try I die is there something I got to unlock or is there another way getting to that part of the map?

[elder plover]

that map is still being added to, the map in game shows all the areas it'll have when its done

[earnest socket]

@elder plover okay thank you plus all the mods do not work the skin mods are working but as for the other ones hope they fix it soon..

[elder plover]

yeah theyre having real issues with consoles atm

[earnest socket]

@elder plover that's why I stopped using building mods I switched to using only skins that way whatever I build will still be there if something happens like for an example this!! all my stuff is still there except for the mods and the skins but I was able to download the skins back on it says invalid but they still work

[elder plover]

yeah, im not a little more leinient with what structure mods ill use on ASA compared to ASE but all my servers now also have 300 world backups....

[earnest socket]

@elder plover well that's good to have I also have a couple service myself 2 ASA and 1 ASE wish I had going for over 7 years

[strange star]

Are game changing mods still broken for Nitrado hosted servers?

[fallow crypt]

Yup

[heady flax]

Now small mods for console work.

[dusky fjord]

How does one add an admin to there server on here. It’s not the same as ase

[simple tendon]

Is there a way to fix the problem that cause gamecrashes, every time when i want to travel between the maps in the cluster?

[keen tusk]

Part of the new update. Gives you a break between maps to smoke, see your kid, and maybe shower

[edgy pasture]

Has there been a work around for the crashing as soon as i transfer?

[fossil ginkgo]

this crash is annoying

Wildcard fix it!!!!!

[gusty rose]

Is anyone crashing on unofficial when trying to transfer to a map?

Yes please fix it

[humble bone]

Yes, always crash when transferring maps. But I was in the "cloud" and could then log into whatever map I needed.

[orchid pulsar]

i have made a server with pok manager and i dont know where to put BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier and other settings i have tryed to put them in game.ini but it doesnt work

[quick dagger]

Anyone having issue adding ppl to tribe? Can't inv for some reason

[wild helm]

Are you a tribe admin?

[hardy river]

For Nitrado servers, to play astraeos I have the map selected, but do I also have to have the curseforge mod Astraeos active in the server as well?

[tame cave]

„Hallo zusammen, ich spiele ARK sowohl auf dem PC als auch auf der PS5. Auf der PS5 habe ich allerdings Probleme mit den Mods: Der Download startet immer wieder von vorne, auch wenn ich das Spiel komplett schließe und neu starte. Die Mods werden nie vollständig heruntergeladen, selbst wenn ich das Spiel den ganzen Tag über laufen lasse. Hat vielleicht noch jemand ähnliche Probleme mit der PS5-Version oder irgendwelche Tipps, wie ich das beheben kann? Ich habe wirklich schon alles Mögliche ausprobiert, aber es funktioniert einfach nicht.“

[indigo violet]

No you just need the map not the mod.

[hardy river]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[agile stone]

Morning all, I see there were no announcements and patches again. Guess we're looking at some time later this coming week lol.

[indigo violet]

Having trouble with this birthday event, I’ve downloaded the birthday mod but it doesn’t seem to be working

[celest halo]

its not a mod

ARK 10 Year Anniversary event is now live!
Unofficial server owners can apply this to their servers by adding "-Activeevent=birthday" into their commandline,
Added a drop-down option to enable Active Events in Host/Single-Player mode under Game Rules > Rules,
More info can be found here: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-460-the-party-starts-on-june-2nd-r2478/```

[agile stone]

I added -activeevent=birthday in my command line at the end of it and it works fine on all maps. If you're using nitrado its literally just a pull down I've been told you have to toggle. Best way to check is to find a dodo spawn once you have it restarted in the command line and if you find a part dodo running around you'll know its working. Der Dino finder is a nice mod, you can literally pull up the list and see if they are spawning.

[knotty lichen]

yo are there any free server hostings?

[agile stone]

Technically no.

[knotty lichen]

dang

[agile stone]

Nitrado is it. Unless you have the server hardware and know how to use port forwarding and can manage firewalls

[knotty lichen]

i dont even know what those are T_T

[dreamy jetty]

is there a way i can make people not steal from me in my pvp server im building a type of pvp market server i got everything done but i have tested and without being in the tribe i can still open the mystery boxes and i can lock them is there a mod or something that doesnt let people steal or open stuff in a certain area?

[agile stone]

Not that I'm aware of. However if you've got any experience with plugin development and modding it's feasible you could do something like that. There may even be a no pvp mod you can place down for certain areas. I know there was in ase anyways.

[celest halo]

best way to check is open the smithy and see if the event crafting engrams are in there

[dreamy jetty]

i dont know how to mod or do plugins but thanks for trying to help ima try and look for a pve zone mod and test them out

[young dove]

Dies könnte ein Problem mit der CurseForge-Mod-Verteilung auf der PS5 sein. Kennst du Freunde, die ebenfalls auf der PS5 spielen und das gleiche Problem haben? Entschuldigung für mein schlechtes Deutsch. Google Übersetzer.

[orchid pulsar]

My server dosent read the game.ini file when i created the server it created the file but now it dosent want to read it if i make changes in it they dont applay to the game i have tryed to change the bame in gamee.ini to see if it will create a new game.ini and it does not

[lament dagger]

My modded Nitrado server not showing up on the server list and I removed all the “incompatible mods”.

[knotty lichen]

yo does anyone know a good way to play with 5 other people?

[agile stone]

#1110949794907684965 You could join an official server or unofficial, other options would be to start an unofficial yourself and invite friends/family.

... <--- staring at this annoying ass phantom tree in the middle of my living room on Astraeos.. can't break it, can't de render it, so annoying..

[chrome falcon]

The same thing happened to me, and I had to make a backup via FTP and reinstall the server. It was resolved without any problems.

[lament dagger]

Didn’t know you can restore a server after reinstalling it

[chrome falcon]

I did it using the WinSCP program, there are many explanatory videos that teach you how to do it.

[young dove]

Yes. You set up a server, either with a hosting provider or using your own hardware.

[knotty lichen]

are they free?\

[young dove]

No. Your only other option is everyone in the group picks the same server to play on from the list.

But if you're not looking to share the experience with other people outside your group, then that's going to be a bit problematic.

Anyone successfully running Tharat after the update?

[deep laurel]

About time

[celest halo]

if you do it on your own hardware it is free if you dont count the electric to run the computer 😂

[young dove]

Or to buy the server itself, if you're doing it properly.

[celest halo]

Fix for a crash that can happen when transferring servers.``` finally

[lament dagger]

Can’t I just do it using nitrado though don’t know about any extra programs not tech savvy when it comes to server hosting like that

[agile stone]

YAY! yeah this couldn't come fast enough, thrilled, hopefully it works lol

I can live with an enormous phantom tree in my living room if I must, but the crashing on transfers. ugh.. nightmare

[celest halo]

i like how it be the 3rd client patch, but first one with patch notes 🤣

[raw stirrup]

Anyone know how to get mods to work on nitrado i add them normal way and the server shows up but none of the mods do then server is not joinable until i remove the mods again is it still just a waiting game till they fixed properly (crossplay server)

[young dove]

Dunno. I solved all my Nitrado problems by not using Nitrado.

[agile stone]

Not sure on that one, but from a perspective of adding mods, I add them directly to my launch args for example:

 -mods=929713,932917,939507,928708,928501,928621,936457,935528,928597,935408,929578,929506,937184,929785,940786,949521,924900,946694,931874,942024,940975,928548,945883,929420,947982,1149214,1019389

[chrome falcon]

You need an external program like FileZilla or WinSCP to do this without risking losing everything.

[young dove]

Also, don't you need ActiveMods= in GameUserSettings.ini?

[raw stirrup]

how do you do that i normally just add them from the curseforge tab and never had issues till the update seen some people having luck now didnt know if its just a waiting game or if theres a work around

[celest halo]

nitrado dont have launch args you can edit

[agile stone]

Hmmm interesting, there is ActiveMods= in gus.ini you can try as well, it should trigger the server to download and install those mods.

[young dove]

Have you tried reading the documentation? Nitrado has an entire guide on how to do what you're asking.

I'd post the link but apparently even linking to the actual Nitrado documentation gets removed by bots.

[agile stone]

Nothing they can't google on their own 😛

[celest halo]

yup there is only like 2 websites you can link to here

[young dove]

Irony is that Nitrado paid Wildcard a ton of cash for exclusive ASA hosting rights at launch, blocking even prviate server hosting and you can't link directly to their docs in here.

[rigid palm]

Hi, just a question. Some mates and I were playing on an unofficial server recently. It was named #with a bunch of numbers and "hosted by nitrado". We assumed we were playing on something of a beginner server, but then one day a couple of people showed up on the server and using admin commands wiped us (for seemingly no reason). I was wondering if those "hosted by nitrado" servers are being run by admins paying for the server who can do whatever they like, or are the servers run by nitrado and free for anyone to use? Thanks

[young dove]

I don't know that Nitrado hosts their own "official" servers.

I think actual Wildcard official servers might be hosted on them.

[agile stone]

While I understand the disdain for Nitrado, especially after trying to pull a fast one on unofficial server owners and simultaneously disallowing for anyone other than them to host dedicated servers, I do understand that some may not have the server hardware or connection to be able to host their own clusters. Nitrado does have a myriad of documentation and tutorials on how to set everything up tho, Cesueron is quite correct.

[scarlet mulch]

Can the ark server run on ARM?

[celest halo]

prob not

[agile stone]

Pretty sure it would be too much for that Architecture.

[lament dagger]

I have no idea how to use it unfortunately lol

[celest halo]

or not easily seeing how its only got windows binaries

[young dove]

LOL no. Wildcard was too lazy to release a Linux binary for the server, even though it was available for Evolved. No way it's going to run on ARM64.

[scarlet mulch]

Oh, im talking about survival evolved, shoulda clarified

[young dove]

For Evolved, I only ever ran it on x86_64

[agile stone]

Wasn't there issues with that tho? No mods or something could be run on the *nix platforms?

[young dove]

Never ran it on ARM. ARM wasn't even a thing outside of phones when I was running Evolved servers.

[scarlet mulch]

ah i see

[celest halo]

i ran ASE with native linux and mods no issues

[young dove]

I actually wrote an entire Ansible playbook that deploys ARK Evolved on Ubuntu

[agile stone]

Ahh, kk, I read something early on about that on ASE which is why I chose Win* based hosting back then. lol.

[young dove]

And sets up ASM, all the maps, downloads all the mods, etc..

I still have it on Github if anyone wants to have a crack at it and is looking to set up Evolved on Linux.

[young dove]

No, that's not really a thing. In fact, you can technically get Ascended running on Linux but you have to do a bunch of nonsense with Wine to provide a Windows compatiblity layer to get it to run. More trouble than its worth since they could just produce a Linux binary and do it without all the added complexity.

[deep laurel]

no server patch yet?

[celest halo]

ASA on linux is not that hard, and takes like an extra min to install proton and run the server 😂

for what they dont need to do a server one when they do a client one

[young dove]

And when it breaks because of the added complexity, you get to keep both pieces because it's "unsupported". In the real world, simplicity is valued over complexity. Emulating Windows on Linux just to run a Windows binary adds needless complexity when they can just as easily produce a native Linux binary, just like they did with Evolved.

[livid portal]

my ark astraeos server isnt showing up on my list

[ivory shuttle]

My server says it's running but it's not showing

Same

[livid portal]

i can see mine but it says map is unkown and stuff and i cant join it just says refresh

[fathom tinsel]

If you want to do it lazy/easy mode (and with other game servers too) you can just get AMP. I was running proton but wanted to make it easier for friends to start/stop servers or to spin up different games on my lab systems.

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, I would prefer they just give us linux binaries but I am happy I can still host on Linux even if I have to use proton/docker/etc.

[celest halo]

i dont need amp, i can fully shutdown, update, start mine through discord 😂

[fathom tinsel]

I wanted it to be easy for friends that are not technical. It also let's them start different game servers, not just ark as long as there are hardware resources.
It's easy-mode for friends.

[austere phoenix]

nitrado abberation server not working after the 5.5 update. Even after restarting the server its just greyed out in the menu

[low mantle]

Hello,

I planned to play with my brother on ARK Ascended so I started a server on Windows VM on Proxmox.
Everything run smooth but wild dinos are low levels and also caves are empty for some reason.

I tried everything like setting this in GameUserSettings:

DifficultyValue=1.0
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0
bPvE=True
bPvEDisableFriendlyFire=True

but nothing, even changing the map didn't work and, for example, Wyvern Canyon on Scorched Earth was empty, just 5-6 wyver total the entire canyon.

The start bat is this
start ArkAscendedServer.exe Extinction_WP?listen?SessionName=<RESTRICTED>?Port=<RESTRICTED>?MaxPlayers=3?ServerAdminPassword=<RESTRICTED>

Do I need something to edit to have a normal situation on my server?

Thanks in advance

[young dove]

My kingdom for meaningful logging in Ark! I have one server stuck in crashloop and nothing useful to be found as to why.

[ivory shuttle]

Anyone have an idea on why my astreos map isn't showing? Nitrado

[gray spire]

I have 6 servers/3 Clusters. Astraeos/Center cluster will not boot up, gets about 27 seconds in and closes. Oddly Primal Chaos Astraeos will startup, but can't join. Island/SE/Abb/Ext cluster will run and advertise to join. Can see them on server list, go to join, enter password, quick blink, "No Sessions Found", dumps me to main menu. Server still running. But hey, the mods don't say Invalid anymore.

[ivory shuttle]

It was working earlier. What astraeos did you select? Dlc or mod

[red juniper]

the empty wyvern trench is a known issue, you can fix it overriding their spawners

[ivory shuttle]

it was center and astraeos

@gray spire

[low mantle]

and for the others cave?

[red juniper]

maybe try a dino wipe?, so everything respawn? specially if you have made changues to your ini

[rigid venture]

My 3 servers on my cluster are all greyed out even when running. All the mod I have on them are working in SP and I can join other servers like official. Even tried to remove all mod and same.

[red juniper]

grayed out on the server browser?

[rigid venture]

Yes. No day number 0 ping no build

[red juniper]

re type your server name in the search box, and see if there are duplicated on green

[rigid venture]

no sessions found

[red juniper]

then your servers are not fully booted, they are showing grayed cuz their are added to your Favorites

[rigid venture]

they are running on nitrado web app

[red juniper]

are they showing as green on nitrado interface?

[rigid venture]

yes says they are running

[red juniper]

whats your server name if i may know?

[rigid venture]

I was able to join them a few days ago but they kept crashing

Abzan Dinos

[red juniper]

do you have Cyber Structures mod by any chance?

[rigid venture]

dont believe so

RR deco and kingler

[red juniper]

yeah your servers are not running at all, they are probablu in a crashing loop

have you tried rolling back?

[rigid venture]

i've done a server back up on one from june 4th

[ivory shuttle]

Hey South cal can you possibly check mine too I'm having similar issue

[red juniper]

sure

[ivory shuttle]

In otter space

[red juniper]

its probably a mod causing a crash

[ivory shuttle]

It might be the rr home decor because he has it too

[rigid venture]

i removed all mods on the nitrado interface and still wasnt showing

[ivory shuttle]

Also, is it astraeos mod map or dlc

[prisma portal]

Anyone having an issue with discovery mod and griffins being statues? Lol

[red juniper]

removed mods then rolled back?

[rigid venture]

removed mods started server

[prisma portal]

Cs I have discovery mod enabled but every griffin tek and normal is frozen and a statue been like this all day

[red juniper]

remove then roll back

In otter space also not showing

[rigid venture]

[ivory shuttle]

Ok let me remove all the mods and roll back to island

Removed all mods restoring from this morning

@red juniper I did all that

[red juniper]

[ivory shuttle]

It's in a restart loop

Nvm now it says it's up

[rigid venture]

Doesnt seem to have worked

[ivory shuttle]

Neither mine

Mines Alive

[red juniper]

[glad pumice]

Xbox Forreal won't be playable for another week?

[ivory shuttle]

@red juniper is it broken again?

[red juniper]

no, still showing on my end

not sure if joinable since its password protected, but its showing in the server broswer

[rigid venture]

still nothing from mine

[red juniper]

try different backup?

[rigid venture]

ok

[ivory shuttle]

@red juniper it's not password protected.

@versed minnow thst might be broked

My server is not showing and I did update it ? Pls help

[versed minnow]

[versed minnow]

okay thanks

[versed minnow]

ya lol

@Here for the Mods

I'm aware many are having issues with getting DD to work post-5.5. The mod does work, though CF seems to be having content delivery issues. Unfortunately there's nothing I can influence there. Please remain patient while CF and WC work through the issues with the update.

[celest halo]

thought so, DD is running fine on my self host servers

[red juniper]

this is from DD dev

[red juniper]

same here

[versed minnow]

thats so weird i can use another cryo mod i just thought DD was the best

[low mantle]

did it already, same situation for the cave.
The only thing is that now dino are with high level

[ivory shuttle]

@red juniper what one is the free astreaos

[solid nexus]

Can someone pls help my server is not showing?

[red juniper]

Astraeos = free, Astraeos_WP= premium

[ivory shuttle]

But.. is the dlc free or

[red juniper]

yeah

[ivory shuttle]

So when setting it choose astraeos dlc?

[olive talon]

Yes

[polar dagger]

I had hopped with the steam patch v6.39 the crashing client while transfering to another map is not happening again.. but still SAME ERROR

[red juniper]

did you actually updated? updated still havent show own my end

[versed minnow]

Does anyone know any good cryo mods for servers since dino depot is down

[polar dagger]

I have v66.39 (CL 713305)

(steam/pc)

[primal bobcat]

Is there a way to fix the inability to transfer with tribute items or element yet?

[celest halo]

yup same for me, patch def did not fix the crash on transfer

[celest halo]

that patch note was like 22 hours late

[red juniper]

notthing to fix here, those items are not transferable unless you use a mod

[primal bobcat]

they were previous to this update

[olive talon]

You could just wait a few days and use vanilla pods until CF/WC fix things

[primal bobcat]

it was a setting now you're saying you all of a sudden need a mod?

[red juniper]

then never been and never will

[primal bobcat]

I've been playing ark for like over 10 years man you could put in a setting that allowed it

this update stopped that

[red juniper]

its hard codded in the game , you cant moddify it

[rigid venture]

Not getting anything thanks for trying to help @red juniper giving up for now.

[red juniper]

artefacts yes, yuti lunges and element as you mentiones, no

[red juniper]

maybe try nitrado discord for help

[versed minnow]

ya thats works for now

go to gameusersetting.ini and set overrideofficialdifficulty=5 to 30

You can enter it manually as well

@shrewd ledge performe a dino wipe after you restart your server with the changes, so dinos with the new levels spawn

[shrewd ledge]

will do

and also uh how do i edit the supply drops

like i wanna put kibbles in a purple drop, armor and foundations in lower tier

[red juniper]

this is something a lil bit more complex to be honest

[shrewd ledge]

aw man

[red juniper]

theres an app called Beacon that lets you do it really easy, but its a paid app i believe

[shrewd ledge]

damnit

[red juniper]

you can still do it fro free but you would really need to do your own research, theres info about it just need to google it

[hollow ruin]

Even with beacon it’s a lot of work

[shrewd ledge]

so i cant copy paste someone elses into mine?

[hollow ruin]

Yea

You can

If they have exactly what you want

[red juniper]

pretty much yeah, you would need to figure out the path/blueprint of the item you want to override

[ivory shuttle]

@red juniper question

[shrewd ledge]

ok

[ivory shuttle]

If I use the mod map I have to name tje map Astraeos_WP

[red juniper]

back in ASE there used to be a mod that let you dot it like super easy, not sure if there mod on asa for that

[celest halo]

thats the dlc map name

looks like thats name for the mod one also looking at mod page

[red juniper]

Astraeos_WP is the premium version, the one that official uses, Astreaos is the free version for unoffial only

[celest halo]

If you want to use the free version, you have to put "ActiveMapMod=988598" into your GameUserSettings.ini under the header [ServerSettings]
Map Name: Astraeos_WP
Mod ID: 988598```

[shrewd ledge]

question does the Imbue and Upgrade Station mod works? the randi traps mod?

[ivory shuttle]

So under server settings put
"ActiveMapMod=988598"
Map Name: Astraeos_WP
Mod ID: 988598

[celest halo]

just the ActiveMapMod=988598 goes in GUS

[olive talon]

Loot crates are in the free version, but you have to download the app on a pc/laptop.

[shrewd ledge]

ok thx

[red juniper]

for the premium/official version you dont need to add the mod

[ivory shuttle]

@red juniper my Map came up as astreos when I used the mod map with the Astraeos_WP for the name

It wasn't when I was just using the dlc version

[shrewd ledge]

so whats a good number to put supplydrop quality

[red juniper]

i personally use 1.5, things get really op to be honest

[shrewd ledge]

ight

hey south can u reccomend a mod or 2 for me plz

i wanna add dino finder but idk if it works after patch

[red juniper]

for dino finds i use Cyber Structures, its tek transmitter have a dino scanner also a hand held scanner, but you need to have transmitter engram to be able to use it

[shrewd ledge]

speaking of engram i dont have to worry about my friends crafting admin stuff right?

[red juniper]

downside is Cyber structures adds a lot of modded structures which is not ideal if you are trying to play vanillaish

[red juniper]

unless you dont set him as admin or give him the server password, no

[shrewd ledge]

oh only im the admin

[red juniper]

then no

[shrewd ledge]

cool

so if i add a few dino mods i'll be good right?

[red juniper]

just look at the date they have been last updated, some mods haven been updated in months, just to be safe

[shrewd ledge]

im only going after the mods that were updated recently or last month

[kindred tree]

Hey im trying to setup a non dedicated server to play with a friend but we get "connection time out", can anyone give me some help?

[sage fern]

Hello, I'm Coming Back To ARK After A Long Time.

I Just Want Some Major Mod Akin To Primal Fear (maybe not necessarily that extreme or big) But Still Something that Can Be The BIG Mod Of My Gameplay. Something that still works with the current version of Ark.

Please help me with Some Good Suggestions.

[brisk topaz]

Anyone know why my Center map doesnt want to start at all? Any solutions?

[red juniper]

check your crash logs

[brisk topaz]

i do but nothing, the server keep blocking at 582 ram used

[red juniper]

try to reinstall your mods and rollback your game save

[brisk topaz]

I do it too lol

[alpine mountain]

Anybody hear anything about the Astraeos maps in reboot loop?

[brisk topaz]

Generally, just stop the server and do a backup works for us

[alpine mountain]

I've done that

[brisk topaz]

did you do that @alpine mountain ?

[alpine mountain]

Stopped it, rolled back to previous update, backed up again, then update again, still reboot loop

I havent checked my crash logs but when my server starts up I always see "machine id not found or something like that, it goes too fast. It then tries to reinstall every mod

[ivory shuttle]

I have a question

I'm really trying to get astraeos to work. I only have the dlc map selected on my server and 3 mods that work on the island. Problem is it won't load as astreaos.

[alpine mountain]

I'm having the same problem. My Astraeos server constantly crashes while trying to boot

[ivory shuttle]

It wouldn't really work as the modded map either.

I'm assuming we might have to set it to the mod map?

[alpine mountain]

I just had to tell my players that the server will be shut down until further notice.
We shouldn't have to set it to the mod map

[ivory shuttle]

Is it just supposed to be set as the Dlc map?

No like mod pr map code or anything?

[alpine mountain]

Its just a severely botched update and unfortunately it looks like we're gonna have to wait for them to fix it

Map code?

[ivory shuttle]

Yeah the mod code

[alpine mountain]

Idk the mod code

[celest halo]

you both using nitrado

[ivory shuttle]

Someone earlier said we had to out thst in the gsu ini

[alpine mountain]

You can find it on curse forge

[ivory shuttle]

Yeah

[alpine mountain]

No I run my own server on my own hardware

[ivory shuttle]

I'm using nitrado

[alpine mountain]

Probably not a nitrado issue then if both of us are having issues

[ivory shuttle]

No

[celest halo]

you check the ShooterGame.log in Saved/Logs folder

[ivory shuttle]

I was using astreos earlier.

Then the ps5 update came out and that's what happened

Still no update for xbox either

But seriously does changing it to the mod map work

[celest halo]

i just have the DLC map name for mine but i selfhost

[ivory shuttle]

Do you happen to have tje map mod code

Welp.

I put that code in you said before and changed it to modded and all so I'm seeing how that goes

[honest patrol]

Just rented a nitrado server and the thing won’t even start. Any ideas? Its stuck on restarting it says

[spice wyvern]

There were a lot of updates fairly recently. If it gives you option to force stop I would do that - wait 15 minutes - then do a restart

[honest patrol]

I was force stopped for a while and then tried restarting… I have no mods or coding done because I just wanted to see if the server would open up before I tried that… I have reinstalled it once already and it is just stuck on the restarting process

[spice wyvern]

New servers can take up to 30 minutes to start up and show up

[honest patrol]

I’ll reinstall it one more time and just leave my computer open… also, I was browsing the settings when setting up the server. Is there a way to change weight?

I just want it so that when I click my attribute point it goes up to 1000… something bigger than normal but less than 10000000

[ivory shuttle]

Do I need the mod code for the astreaos dlc map

In my ini

[lone coyote]

My server is finally up!!!

Delete all your mods and join the server let them redownload

[honest patrol]

How’d you even rent one… mine won’t even start up with no mods

[uneven mason]

hi can anyone please help me where should i put the command to activate birthday on my server game.ini or gameusersetting.ini ?

[quasi socket]

if you are on nitrado, just go to settings and in search bar look up event and you can change Active Event to Birthday. If your in single player its in the game settings before you launch the game, under rules somewhere

[uneven mason]

thank you i have a private server with amp not on nitrado (sorry for my bad english)

[deep laurel]

same issue

[honest patrol]

Anyone know why my server is still restarting after 30 minutes… no mods and vanilla settings

[red juniper]

corrupted game save probably, try restoring from a backup

[honest patrol]

How do I even do that if I haven’t gotten into the game to start off with? The server has never started once, so there wouldn’t be any backups?

[red juniper]

is it nitrado?

[honest patrol]

Yes

[red juniper]

which map? if its Astraeos it is known having issues atm

[honest patrol]

The island 😂 I’m trying the basic map on basic settings with no mods…

I have reinstalled the game twice now… I have force stopped it for 15-20 minutes then tried starting. And now I’ve just been letting it restart for the past 45 minutes now. I opened up a support ticket and they don’t help

[red juniper]

have you tried different map?

[honest patrol]

I have not. Do I just do that in the general settings?

[red juniper]

yes

[honest patrol]

Just changed it to scorched earth… I’ll wait for a while but it just says restarting still.

[red juniper]

give it a couple of minutes

just so you know even if you server never started before , it still has a game save which can still be corrupted

[uneven mason]

i looked i have no birthday option to choose on amp i guess i have to put -ActiveEvent=Anniversary in the gameusersetting.ini is this right?

[red juniper]

ActiveEvent=Anniversary goes in the command line which you dont have access to on dinrado, you probably need to wait till they update their sh it

[honest patrol]

Understood. But how do I fix that though

[uneven mason]

ok thank you

[red juniper]

delete the game saves, no need to worry about loses since its a fresh server

[honest patrol]

Is that the arksave file under file browser?

[red juniper]

yes

[honest patrol]

Then do I just click start server again?

[red juniper]

look for something like theisland_wp and delete it

[red juniper]

yes give it a try

[celest halo]

its a start command arg not an ini setting and its -Activeevent=birthday not -ActiveEvent=Anniversary

[uneven mason]

thank you very much , sorry that i have to ask again is it there where i have to put it in: Custom Command Line Flags
Sets custom command line flags for the server (those that start with a - (dash)). Include the dash and separate with a space. Don't use flags already in AMP's settings!

[celest halo]

i dont use AMP so dont know where it goes

but that would be my guess of where to put it

[uneven mason]

ok i just try thank you very much

[ivory shuttle]

Is anyone having issues with astraeos

On xbox

[uneven mason]

yes it worked thank you again

[raw stirrup]

does anyone know why mods dont show up on nitrado server when u hit join even tho they added to server its a crossplay server so is it just because xbox is still under certification ?

also when mods are added the server becomes unjoinable when i remove them its joinable again its so odd

[mystic iron]

Does anyone know if there is anyway to make wild dinos utilize their wild dino speed stat?

[raw stirrup]

you on nitrado u can add a line in ini files to allow you to level speed will find it

bAllowSpeedLeveling=true put that in your ini files and you can level speed again

[mystic iron]

Im not. I've selected flyer leveling true, but i mean the wild dinos. I set wild dino speed stat to 5 but I didnt realize that they dont utilize any points put in them. Is there a way to force wild dinos to use the points in the speed stat? I want them to be super fast lol

[shrewd ledge]

hi me again so im still seeing 150 wild dinos

[raw stirrup]

set max overide difficulty to 10

makes them 300 which is max

[shrewd ledge]

ok but when i spawned a moro dino it level went to 1350

[raw stirrup]

yeah u can spawn stuff in higher depends on number u put when spawn it in xD

[shrewd ledge]

oh

what do i put normal difficulty at

[raw stirrup]

doesnt matter

[shrewd ledge]

so i can leave it at 1

[raw stirrup]

if override official difficulty is set to 10 that overides the difficulty and puts it to 10 which makes wild dinos appear up to level 300

[raw stirrup]

yeah u can whack it to 10 as well if u want but shouldnt make a difference

[waxen rune]

how do i use the dedicated server tool in steam?

[placid badge]

Why the main menu restart everytime i tried to join to the non dedicated server of my friend? He invites me, i tried to join and it appear in the top right corner "joining game" and the numbers thay tells the mods that are installing but when it reach [31/32], ir restarts and i have to install all the mods again and it happens every time

[red juniper]

need to create your one bash files or use a server manager

[red juniper]

official difficulty is 5, which spawns max 150 level dinos, for wyverns and rock drake max is 180, also 180 for tek dinos if im not wrong

[final eagle]

Anyone know if transferring with mods has been resolved as yet? and not giving the "kick back to main menu?"

[gloomy yew]

yes on ps5 and steam

not on xbox

[final eagle]

Thanks will test on my server and hope for the best!

[gloomy yew]

we waiting on cert

[celest halo]

no, steam client still crashes on transfer

[gloomy yew]

oh sorry the ps5 patch worked for them i guess the patch didnt work on steam

[final eagle]

Dang rip

[red juniper]

same

still crashing every single time i try transfering

[olive forge]

Is there a config setting to reveal the map on a dedicated ASA server?

[agile stone]

Yeah that was kinda an "Epic Disappointment" so much for the being fixed patch notes.

[half trout]

Is extinction messed up right now? I cannot get my extinction server to come up

[ocean sable]

Ark does not work with me, why? Is there a way? Please, I need help.

[quiet trellis]

All I'm getting is "Requested mods failed to load on server."

Can't boot any of my servers

[hot zephyr]

we are doing a complete wipe and uninstall reinstall and after giving it a few minutes there starting to come back up,

[quiet trellis]

I can't afford to do that, cluster been running for over a year without wipes

[hot zephyr]

🤷‍♂️

[wise kindle]

Rolling back to any saves from 6/4 seems to help.

[hot zephyr]

didn’t work for us. our saves were gone.

[wise kindle]

An absence of saves would kind of negate this yes.

[hot zephyr]

appreciate the idea though

[deep laurel]

awesome teleporters is one mod causing EXCEPTIONS error

[hot zephyr]

good to know,

we had a problem with the Draconic crashing us.

[deep laurel]

he updated it

i had it off as well before

[remote sinew]

Its just saying no session found is this issue happening for anyone else?

[tribal trench]

So is dino depot on ps5 for servers broken I'm guessing. Can load my server fine without it but if I add it I get no sessions found when joining after entering my password.

[normal zinc]

I also encountered the same problem; there is no solution for the time being.

[opaque creek]

hii i try to create ark evolved dedicated server with linux but i cant find game no error in my vps and already open port can u help me?

[hollow saddle]

I had to remove it to be able to load in.

But it caused me and other players in my server to lose all balled dinos

[tribal trench]

Well to be honest there were warnings not to have dinos in modded storage for the unreal update

[hollow saddle]

I will keep config cryo, and replace their lost dinos with higher levels.

[hollow saddle]

Yes but their warning was after the update.

[tribal trench]

I got plenty of pre update warnings.

[hollow saddle]

We couldnt load in and switch dinos

Talking about Nitrado

[tribal trench]

Ah well watching loadcrysis pretty much every video close to the update warned about dino storage

[hollow saddle]

I didnt get anything, im not saying it’s their fault. at the end, it’s not their problem if my dino in a ball or cryo

[teal beacon]

Are any of you PlayStation players able to join modded maps? Or are you all being sent back to the main screen aswell?

[hollow saddle]

Im on ps5/xbox/pc and my server works fine without dino depot

[teal beacon]

Does your ps5 let you load in though ?

[hollow saddle]

Yes

[teal beacon]

Damn.

[hollow saddle]

Do you have mods ?

[teal beacon]

So there’s a few mods that haven’t been updated to the new engine yet

[hollow saddle]

90% of mods updated.

I got 39 mods, boosted server. I only removed dino depot to be able to join.

Deleted asa and downloaded it again btw

[teal beacon]

Hmm. But it’s allowing you to join.

I’ll have to send this info off

[hollow saddle]

Yes I can join, I am in my modded server since yesterday with all mods beside dino depot

[teal beacon]

Yeah right, server I’m on has 30, Dino depot is one of them

[hollow saddle]

Broken file, 10 times i uninstall and install. Nothing works until I removed it

I announced my players that I am replacing the dinos.

I paid for a month, i lost few days, and I am not planning to lose more days and players

[teal beacon]

It’s not coming up as a broken file for me

It’s coming up as installed

[hollow saddle]

Yes but when you try to load in, it says invalid or shows u infinity percentage

[teal beacon]

I don’t get that, it goes to load me in and then boots me
