[teal beacon]

S-Variants however is doing it

[bleak ivy]

thats from dino depots discord

[teal beacon]

So it is one of the issues. Thanking you!

[hollow saddle]

They took more than usual to fix it.

I like their mod, but not going to waste more time.

[hollow saddle]

But you need to know one thing.

If you disable / remove that mod.

The dinos in any ball will be lost.

How to fix this, no way.

[teal beacon]

Does anybody got Nekatus’s discord? I left it and need to query the S Variants issue

[bleak ivy]

its enitrely curseforge

[teal beacon]

Yeah, that’s fine, I literally moved all my Dino’s out of modded structures for this exact reason

The whole server was instructed to

Mod’s aren’t trustworthy unfortunately

[bleak ivy]

normal updates don't do this. this one did a lot of backend stuff to mods and curseforge which caused issues.
mods are always at-risk tho. any update can bring them down or slowly overtime as mod authors leave.

[teal beacon]

100%. I keep back ups of all my breeding lines in OG fridges regardless.

[young dove]

Anyone know why Astraeos can't survive a simple restart without going into crashloop?

Like...my instance has been up all day, then it crashed, and now it won't come back up

And in true Wildcard form, the logs are utterly worthless in troubleshooting/diagnosing the problem.

[dusky fjord]

So mods are still broken. We installed them. Once installed can’t find the server. Remove them n then server can b found..

[hollow saddle]

U got dino depot?

[upper anchor]

Did you get a crash stack ?

[dusky fjord]

Nope.

[dusky fjord]

We got super spy glass. Klinger structures. N stackable meats x50

[haughty ether]

My Astraeos is fine . It is likely a mod you are using?

[timber brook]

Any ase players? Dm me

[hollow saddle]

I got them all and works fine

[dusky fjord]

wtf. Then why wont ours work.

[dusky fjord]

Is urs cross play or ps only

[toxic hazel]

Tried cleaning your mods folder yet? Been sorting a few peoples that

[hollow saddle]

Cross

[fringe lava]

is anyone else suffering from server crashes as soon as they load in? Trying to get onto Extinction and instant UE crash. Clean cluster server with no mods. Extinction is the only one with the issue.

[dusky fjord]

Yea I uninstalled everything n reinstalled them

[toxic hazel]

damn

[dusky fjord]

It also when we add the mods bk. The server shows it has no mods active. N it greyed out still. Unless in the nitrado settings we missed something.???

But we we take the mods bk off we can join it again. Very weird.

[weary jungle]

did you guys reinstall the mods altogether from the mod section?

[wheat linden]

hello guys i buyed ark survival evoled with all dlcs but i didinit can start extra arcs like ragnarok or fudjour

[olive talon]

The free maps are all separate from the paid dlcs. They are free and can be downloaded by going to the store page and viewing the dlcs.

[wheat linden]

but i will play with my friends

[olive talon]

Your friends will have to download whichever maps you are playing. The free dlcs are still on the store page.

[wheat linden]

okay and how i open than the map in a not didinict server

[olive talon]

Download the map, open Ark, scroll to "custom arks"

[wheat linden]

okay thank you when i need help can i dm you ??

and how can my friends join my map

with the dlc

[olive talon]

You'll have better luck posting in #bobs-with-probs for ingame help, or this channel for server setup help, as I'm not always online. You can view the pinned messages for how to get nondedicated working, or just find a server to play.

[dusky fjord]

Yes.

[toxic hazel]

Can you send me the boot log it makes? I can look over it if want

[wind nexus]

im getting a warning missing dlc content and its saying "there are active mods that are dependent on DLC content, the following DLCs need to be installed to continue with these mods" how do i fix this

[timber brook]

Any ase players? Dm me

[grand compass]

you've got to manually download every map from steam itself now. add it to library and it'll download one by one. it's so you can delete ones you don't use

[celest halo]

You think you can delete ones you don't use till you play with mods and they need an asset from that map you are never going to play just so the mod will work 🤣

[shrewd ledge]

question do i need to put on the whole ini for custom dino leveling

cuz everytime i go back into my server still seeing 150

i think i found the problem

i cant send the ss

[agile stone]

@brave summit @stark warren Any chances we are gonna see a fix for the UE crash that occurs on transfers today? Following that question up with, is this an ASA specific issue, or is this something the Unreal Engine developers are going to need to address? Can we get a time frame to tell our players and communities?

[shrewd ledge]

so i found tht in my gameserver ini i have 5 overrideofficialdifficulty names

[agile stone]

Yeah duplicates in an .ini will cause issues.

Also make sure when you edit an .ini that the server is shut down.

[shrewd ledge]

ok i removed 4 and left only 1

[pearl token]

Anyone using Pelayoris cryo with cs propagator in modded? today I cannot get the propagator to recognise any of my dinos

[olive talon]

A fair amount of mods are having issues from the 5.5 update. Join the mod author's discords to keep up to date with issues on their end

[pearl token]

I understand that, but it was fine with the update until today, just wondered if anyone expierencing the same

also what is the mod authors discord

[olive talon]

Both discords should be on the mod pages, load the curseforge website and search both mods and view the mod info, should have a discord link there.

[normal canyon]

game is loading trees/rocks that actually don't exist is there a fix for this

[jaunty vortex]

And hope the author hasn’t abandoned their mod a while back. 🙂

Personally, I won’t use a mod that doesn’t receive regular updates.

[celest halo]

Nope, leaving render range and coming back normally fixes it for me till next time I log in

[flat flume]

Has anyone on ARK been able to fix this?

ASA_Mods: Error: UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version, skipping load for mod. [912815] S-Dino Variants.

[jaunty vortex]

It means the mod was made for Unreal 5.2 and not 5.5. Mod author needs to update it.

[toxic hazel]

You can also try clean you mods folder, fix for a lot of people doing this

[simple tendon]

i deleted the modfolder in binaries/Mods from this specific mod, reinstalled it with server newstart and after that it works

[ivory shuttle]

I'm wondering If someone can help me. I know things are broken right now but I mod everything through actual nitrado. I don't have a pc or anyone else to help. I'm wondering how you mod drops, bosses, what to set to make dinos a higher wild level. I've figured out plauers stats.

[pale fjord]

I use an app called Beacon Omni to run my servers! I can adjust loot drops, player and Dino stats etc. you pay one fee for the year

[agile stone]

There are several ways to change drops, through mods, through beacon, or you can do it manually. For common end users, Beacon is the best, but if you can't afford Beacon, you could research how to change drop loot tables through googling. I'm well beyond that headache tho, I prefer Beacon.

[modest night]

i was waiting to get Astraeos till after this patch. once they fix the problems, which AST should i use -the DLC map or the mod map ? i should say i also run curseforge mods on my other maps

the crossplay mods

[agile stone]

To be fair, on Steam, the uofficial servers we run are up and running, there are a few annoyances, ie, the UE crash when trying to transfer, and the cosmetic issues of phantom trees / boulders showing up and not disappearing but it is playable. I spent a few hours yesterday and last night running around on Astraeos looking around and working on a base.

[pale fjord]

There is a free version of Beacon also I believe. I’d give it a try made running my servers so much easier

[pseudo glade]

Any word about a map transfer fix coming in the near future?

[agile stone]

Nothing yet, they patched yesterday and said it was fixed, but it isn't. Today the only patch notes I've seen involve Playstation, I haven't been on the servers to check to see if that had any affect on Steam yet tho. Been working on other things lol.

[pseudo glade]

Hopefully later today then!! Game is unplayable without transfers

[shrewd ledge]

so question i have the moro rex mod on my server but my friends can craft the admin remote for it

[ivory shuttle]

I just don't have a pc for becon

[celest halo]

It's WC so who knows, they don't make any announcements to acknowledge the issue or say they working on it

We lucky we even get patch notes

[somber arrow]

I've been trying to re-start my dedicated server (self hosted) since 5.5 patch dropped with no luck, none of my mods activate and the server boots up but a) is no longer visible on the server list and b) unable to be joined via join command with the correct IP.

Self hosted using a command line and steamcmd.

I'm getting the 'mod failed to load' error on server startup

[scarlet acorn]

Did this and it still says I am missing the content. It is so frustrating. It's also telling me I need to buy Bob's Tall Tales when I already purchased it. I was able to play on the Island as long as I don't use any mods that use assets from any of the DLCs.

[pseudo glade]

delete the mods in the directory of the map

then try rebooting.

For some reason any map besides the island you have to delete the old mods then redownload them on the reboot

[somber arrow]

Thanks for the response, just looking around the folders that hold the maps (SavedArks) but can't see any mods

will keep on digging, but may ping you again (sorry!)

[pseudo glade]

sent you a dm with the location

its from my other disc account

[somber arrow]

Beaut, cheers for that.

[pseudo glade]

just delete those folders then reboot

[somber arrow]

Holy shit. It's working.

Thanks for your time! Have a good evening and make love to your wife x

[fathom moon]

Anyone else having issues with QoL+ mod after the recent update? I can no longer access the inventories of my Farmer or Gardner

[pseudo glade]

qol+ isnt a supported mod anymore the author abandoned it

switch to cyberstructures

[fathom moon]

Boo! I saw an update as of late May '25 in CF so I figured it was still being developed, but all the constant issues definitely supports your statement -- thanks for the info! Now to start the process of replacing it and all of its structures 🙃

[celest halo]

That was probably from CF when they did there auto cook of mods to bring them to the 5.5 engine

[wise kindle]

Its pretty busted and I believe abandoned.

[fathom moon]

Yeah that all makes sense, now that I look at it the Qol+ github hasn't been updated in years 🫣

I certainly won't be using the CF dates for reference anymore lol

[hollow ruin]

Yea I researched and realized QoL+ was busted when it would crash my game every time I tried putting a dermis on the farmer

Then found out cyberstructures is just it but better

[wise kindle]

Discovery World is the other one that is being reported as busted. I do not know to what extent tho.

[shrewd ledge]

anyone know how to increase the breeding speed

after mating my female dino laying in slow as hell

[quiet trellis]

do we have a list of all the mods with issues atm?

[wheat edge]

I'm sure this has already come up, but uh... NISShaders error on dedicated server startup?

[solemn sonnet]

hey, i have some questions about ark. could some1 dm me? its overall questions. would rather go over it in a call. thanks!

[celest halo]

New server patch wonder what this one don't fix 🤣

[slim nexus]

.

[livid maple]

Well XBOX mods on the series S is still broke so 🤷‍♂️

[daring lynx]

How can I hide all player name tags, including Tribe, or Alliance tags, on an ASE Dedicated? I'd like all players to be able to sneak around the Map, and they can't do such if a nametag keeps appearing when they hide behind a rock, or a tree...

[raw geyser]

Anyone having issues with not being able to join unofficial servers on PS?

[boreal owl]

Anyone have any fixes for non dedicated servers?

[desert bluff]

Can anyone help with nitrado server stuck since this patch they rolled out

[swift perch]

use #bobs-with-probs non-dedicated is not unofficial server

[solid moat]

I can't enter a server with mod, that message "content failed to load"

[fathom moon]

Does anyone know if the birthday event is supposed to show a splash screen like summer bash?

[gleaming prism]

so AST unofficial is still down as far as we know?

[fathom moon]

Disregard on the birthday event question, it appears it does not show a splash screen.

[viral cape]

If I disable lightning creatures on Astreos, will that make orbital drops not work?

[somber ermine]

how to fix dedicated server after goofy ah update?

[tardy summit]

Anyone know how to active the birthday event when hosting ark sa through pc host like the aasct server host?

[fathom tinsel]

add this to the command line launch options. -Activeevent=birthday

[tardy summit]

Is it the same as the startup options?

[fathom tinsel]

Most likely, I don't know what their control panel looks like though.

[tardy summit]

Ok thanks

[glad pumice]

so uh whats the fix for nitrado restart loop

[viral bone]

Patience

[abstract glade]

I see that despite the server transfer crashes being fixed, there are still server transfer crashes. Tracks, honestly. Is there any workaround for it right now or still waiting?

[viral bone]

Waiting, cause new update broke all my servers, none are starting up now.

[abstract glade]

Mine start up at least, but still crash on a transfer. The destination server logs that I'm joining, but it crashes immediately after and my character ends up just being uploaded instead.

[dusk vessel]

Aye at 1hr and counting "A new update will be installed now ..."

[abstract glade]

Well, more specifically the client crashes on transfer. The servers stay online.

[celest halo]

yup and the great people at WC have made 0 announcements about it

[haughty ether]

Mines working

[abstract glade]

Well, alright. I'll just wait till the next time it's mentioned in patch notes to test it, and subsequently confirm that it's still broken. I got other stuff to do anyway!

[viral bone]

66.39 version?

[abstract glade]

Yep, that's the one

[viral bone]

Lucky you lol

[abstract glade]

I mean, not that lucky given that the fix didn't really fix anything, lol

[gleaming prism]

what did you do different if anything?

[light citrus]

lmao I finally got mine to start(restored an earlier back up from last night) then it promptly began restarting again edit: NVM seems to be good now, updated then started running again

[cobalt basalt]

where do i post a lfg

[sleek sigil]

What is the best ase dedicated server maker

[haughty ether]

My Astraeos was off for the entire update. Switched it back on 2 days ago and it rebooted first time
It’s not crashed once and is running with 24 mods on it,
Didn’t do anything really lol

[gleaming prism]

well crap...

[waxen nebula]

Could someone send me your saves for a single player game on the fjord map?

[vernal nest]

Hi there all, I'm using premium astraeos on my unofficial server, but I can't seem to start up the map, it simply doesn't want to. I couldn't find anything anywhere about this, please tell me if you have information, people on my serv are kinda annoyed 😅

[last night]

Hi, are you using the premium or free version of Astraeos?

[little creek]

Yo people on series s ar now able to join or still the same

[untold storm]

Hey I’m needed some help , Im trying to join a server but the mods are saying broken file I’ve uninstalled them and try to do them manually but the install tab is glitched , and I’ve checked the integrity of the game files and I’ve even deleted the game and reinstalled it , I’ve also reinstalled my driver and did a memory diagnostics

Wish i could send videos on here and show what it’s doing

[final eagle]

Just got home from work, is steam ASA unofficial self hosted transfer fixed by chance?

[celest halo]

nope WC dont care about the crash in-between transfer

[main depot]

Is there a reason why I can no longer add Eggcellent Adventures to a server? (turkey trial for example works...)

[agile stone]

Probably because they haven't updated that mod yet? I mean if I'm gonna guess, that's what I'd guess.

[main depot]

but it works on my test server. (no error on serverstart - my clientupdate is on 75% ... first day after holiday...I'll be able to test it straight away to see if it really works.)

[haughty ether]

There isn’t a premium or free version. There is a dlc and a mod.
I’m using the dlc.

[last night]

Which settings are you using in the gameusersetting file ? for the dlc

[haughty ether]

I’m not listing my entire game user ini lol. You’d have to be more specific.
That’s a lot of different settings.

[last night]

No, I saw the line:

ActiveMod=

InGUS

Has anyone got this crash message ? DestroyChargeBuff_Multicast

[haughty ether]

Astraeos dlc is not a mod.

[last night]

Thank you, I understand. 🙂

No settings just Astraeos_WP

Has anyone got this crash message ? DestroyChargeBuff_Multicast
this seems to be related to my save, because whithout it, the sever will start up just fine

[haughty ether]

Just choose the map from the drop down box and yes Astraeos_WP in the custom map name

[fickle basin]

[main depot]

Eggcelent Adventure works on my testserver without problems. Only Nitrado doesn't give me the option to select this mod

[celest halo]

Garbage Collection is a normal thing for all games

[fickle basin]

Yes of course, but thousands of times in a few minutes and then for hours?

[rotund scaffold]

Any good starter kit mod ?

[celest halo]

it was trying to do its job to keep it from hitting the ram usage limit

your server going over 35gb of ram usage is more of a concern

[fickle basin]

Well, it's crap because he spams so much that he crashes the server in a few hours, what's weird is that I don't have this on all the servers. Another bug from 5.5, great!

The server maintains between 25-28 GB of RAM, but as soon as this message goes to spam, it reaches 35 GB within a few minutes.

[agile stone]

Hmmm, I'm running every map and club ark on one of my blade servers and I'm not hitting anything like that in useages.

Matter of fact, my highest 2 maps are 12gb, the Island and Astraeos. the rest are around 8gb ram.

[fickle basin]

I have a lot of players on the maps, so it takes a lot of RAM

[tribal sedge]

Anyone having players get a desync when they login after the updates. We can't stay logged into the servers because of constant desync and player crash

[fathom tinsel]

Could it be a mod issue?

Also, how many players are active when this happens? It could be something releated to the item despawn time? Maybe if you make things despawn faster it won't trigger? Less items to track, less memory to burn.

[fathom tinsel]

My client side has been crashing some but it seems to be related to item pickup/stacking if it happens too fast. Not sure if it's related.

[tribal sedge]

only one or two active. do you use a stack mod or vanilla? We just removed our mod and went to all config based. I can definitely check despawn times

[fickle basin]

It happens all the time even if only a few players, I've never had that before 5.5.

[tribal sedge]

same

[hot crown]

Is there a fix for servers not showing up when they're active? Its a cluster and only one of the servers is showing up even tho they're all active..

[tribal sedge]

I have players trying to get on and fill gens so there cryos don't expire but no one can stay in the server

[modest night]

Is the Forglar map broken right now as well ?

[fathom tinsel]

I have a stack mod. 1000-90

[fathom tinsel]

Still Sounds like it might be a mod?

[tacit marsh]

I think I may have to roll my servers back to before the update once they sort this mess out.

[hard thicket]

Can anyone help me with my sever arkt doesn't show it to me

[tacit condor]

Husband is trying to set up server.
Map loaded, mods loaded all fine. Firewall disabled, router restarted after confirming all info was correct.
But the server won't show, when he checks it doesn't find his IP

[deft lily]

Now that my game has been up and running again. Was wondering if someone might be able to guide me in the right direction. Firstly, I am on a steamcmd created cluster, playing on Xbox. I have used the command “stat fps” to see what my fps is. It ranges from 25-47 on average. But I notice VSYNC is off should that be on? If so, how do I turn it on?

[quasi socket]

i need some help, I have a server with my partner and since the update she cant even get the game to work, tried to move some files and validate them and now when she tries to join the server it shows up on the unofficial server list as MAP: Unknown, Ping 0, etc. Its supposed to show scorched earth. It also shows her no players even when Im actively playing. Anyone know a fix?

It also doesnt show a build number or a day number on her computer, but its completely fine for me, so its not a server issue, we just dont know how to fix it on her end

[latent rune]

Is there any reason my server is getting slammed with massive "Garbage Collection: Triggered" message, out of nowhere?

server is only using 5GB of ram

it started doing this out of nowhere...

[red juniper]

re type the server name in the search box and check if theres duplicates, its probably saved to the favorites, which is bugged

[quasi socket]

ill give that a try, hold on

[quasi socket]

thank you, that worked!!!

[half trout]

Hey i took down the island and extinction to remove mods that were causing problems and now they will not load up, or show in server list. They successfully start but shows /20 people not 0/20 people and even after waiting a long time they wont show up. Can anyone help?

[frosty forum]

my server isn't working with any mods. can someone solve this problem now.

[fathom tinsel]

What map and have you tried deleting the mods and having the server re-download them?

[frosty forum]

the island
I should delete all files in folder "Mods" and "ModsUserData", right?

@fathom tinselthank alot bro, my server is working now.

[subtle ingot]

Just in case, I'll throw out there - she has downloaded scorched earth individually since the update, right? As all the maps became separate with 5.5 and have to be downloaded. Probably isn't the problem but worth making sure

[fathom tinsel]

Sorry, I was AFK for a while. In the future, you can just delete the folder Under the "mods" folder. You don't need to delete the ModUserData.

[quasi socket]

Thanks. As it turned out from another comment, her favorites list was buggy so she just couldn’t see it. We did make sure the map was downloaded and everything so we were very confused for a bit but all good now

[spare sentinel]

Hi 🙋 Can console players now join modded servers? Because our cluster we're playing on says it's not possible and they can't get the servers online.

[molten palm]

I need your help, please. Our servers are displaying the message "No machine ID was found." Our servers won't start, and this message is the reason. We host the servers ourselves and are NOT with Nitrado. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

[lunar cloud]

machine id errors are usually system time related. The operating systems time may be out of sync or incorrect which causes issues with machine identification

check your OS system time and if you're running in a VM make sure its in sync with the host OS

[toxic hazel]

This is from the DC im in about No Machine ID

Hey Survivors!
Some of you may have seen the message "No machine id was found" when starting the server, especially after the recent UE 5.5 update. Here's what it means and what you need to know:

---

What does it mean?
This warning comes from ASA’s built-in mod system (CFCore, used for CurseForge crossplay mods). It means the system didn’t detect a valid machine ID. But don’t worry:

It does NOT stop the server from working
You can still join and play normally
It’s a known issue, not a game-breaking bug

---

What can you do about it?

Ignore it (recommended)
If the server runs fine, you can safely ignore this message.
It doesn't break anything unless you're using crossplay mods.

Fix for mod-related issues:
Install the CurseForge app on your server PC.
Launch it once (even without logging in), then close it.
This initializes the needed files and may fix the ID issue.

If mods fail to download:
Make sure your system has Amazon Root Certificates installed.
Some fresh Windows installs are missing them, which blocks mod downloads.

---

Is there an official fix?
Not yet. The devs are aware of it, but no patch has fixed it as of June 2025. Until then, the server works fine, and we’ll keep it updated.

[molten palm]

@lunar cloud @toxic hazel Thank you both. But unfortunately it doesn't work.

[toxic hazel]

What is your error? not the machine ID one, check crash logs

[dusky fjord]

PMD you

[molten palm]

Only a DIscord BOT as Plugin. But some Maps working, some not with same Config... same MODs all same..Server still stands on "DearJane_EXP_NOTE_7" and do nothing.. looks like it loads the ARK-File, but get it not online.a blank map is starting with all MODs and same settings. Only the save-File of our MAPs cant load.

[toxic hazel]

Check crashlogss, the file is called crashstack

Wait not crashing just starting with no data?

[molten palm]

Yes

[toxic hazel]

Someone in the DC im in said a mods was causing this issue for him, no backups were restoring or anytthing untill he removed a certain mod, might be the same

[molten palm]

i think so... but same with NO Mods on start..

[toxic hazel]

Yeah I don't know anything on this issue yet unfortunately, seems to have appeared for some after coming onto 5.5

Can you try no plugin api enabled if using that?

[molten palm]

no, dont use it as plugin..

only RCON Commands with discord bot

[toxic hazel]

Yeah im think im outta ideas at the mo, if somethign pops up though i'll try let you know

[molten palm]

[molten palm]

Thank you for trying to help me

[junior mason]

Did you find a fix for this?

[simple ruin]

My cluster does the same , did you find a work around , or is it just wait to WildCard sends out a patch that works for this V66.39 does not .

when was V66.42 deployed ? i can not see it .

[toxic hazel]

It's a client update

[simple ruin]

i guess it was not for windows ? my client is at 66.39 , when was it deployed in Steam ?

as is my servers

[toxic hazel]

Its not a server update hahaha, it's a game client update

[simple ruin]

ok thanks i understand , my client is updated to V66.39 . i do not see V66.42

[toxic hazel]

Steam you say?

We still on .39 not 42

[simple ruin]

so my original question is if the fix for server transfers is on client V66.42 , has it been deployed ?

[toxic hazel]

I think thats already asnswered at this point lol

[simple ruin]

yea , i know , thanks

[toxic hazel]

Lololol No prob

[hollow saddle]

I got S-Variant dino.

It spawns S fenrir and others.

But when I go to my admin panel and check creatures, i cant see where they spawned to teleport to them.

Is there a way to fix this? Or i am missing something from game ini

[kindred pelican]

Has anyone noticed that the harvest rates are no longer correct after the UE update?

At first, it was just a feeling that they were lower despite the same settings.
Yesterday, I manually picked up a stone:

Before UE5.5:

• Harvest x3 -> 3 stones
• x6 -> 6 stones

After the update:

• x3 -> 2 stones
• x6 -> 5 stones

Has anyone else noticed this?

(Unofficial servers, not yet tested on Official)

[dense reef]

I'm currently having the issue where when i log into my server i can play for around 1 minute then the ping jumps to like 300-700. I'm on PC playing through xbox app. other players on the server using other platforms don;t have this issue even ones playing in the same household.

[cursive tundra]

New server owner here
Have had the island for almost a month. Decided to add scorched and cluster process went smoothly. Copied settings verbatim and when I transfer over tames gain crazy stats. For example my argy with 6k HP now has 98k HP and when I transfer back to the island stats go back to normal. Im stumped.

[mossy cargo]

When it comes to stat multiplier

Island isn’t quite same as scortcehd earth and abberations never has

So your gonna need to trial and error the scortched earth stats untill you get it right

[cursive tundra]

Appreciated. Will play with it tomorrow night

[agile stone]

What is this day 4? day 3? Anyone know if the unofficial transfer crash is fixed yet? Or are we still getting that lovely UE error report?

[pale fjord]

Is anyone with Nitrado servers having trouble putting Mods on the Astraeos DLC? Server won’t show on list unless all mods are off

[agile stone]

Interesting, answering my own question unofficial transfers are still not working. This time I got to an event splash screen (I keep the holiday event mods all passive so we don't lose decorations) and then it crashed, but no UE error page popped up.. hrmm.

[toxic hazel]

You don't need the holiday events once they are integrated which they all will be, not sure about birthday one yet though, Transfers still broken for me

I no longer have the event mods and have all items

[agile stone]

Yeah I remember reading that, just never got confirmation that they were fully integrated, so until we do see something I'm gonna leave them all in PassiveMods and patiently wait lol. I also think they should allow a server variable to disable the event loading screens which are usually annoyingly loud.

[toxic hazel]

Yeah they dont say when they do anymore hahaha

But can confirm they all are

[agile stone]

Cool, I'll yank out Winter Wonderland and the others later today (except Birthday)

[mossy cargo]

Rolled back to may luckily most of mods work now

[humble bone]

So since this amazing update (sarcasm) the maps on our cluster won't even come up. Ab never came back up and Astraeos and Extinction came up temporarily and then stopped. We are heavily modded, do we just need to wait to updates to mods and WC to fix things or is there something we can do in the interim to help fix. We are trying to avoid a complete wipe and restart at all costs, but it's more and more looking that way 😔

[compact forge]

1. look logs what crashes servers 2) test one by one what mod crashes server 3) look help from mods dc what crashes if others have same issue 4) restore backup etc etc

[humble bone]

Gotcha, thanks. I'll do some more digging.

[hot crown]

No

[toxic hazel]

Have they got some difference in names? If the same it cant list them

[real ingot]

Anyone else running a Nitrado cluster finding that stackable items (that aren't full stacks) are duping when transferring between servers? If so, does anyone know if there's a way to mitgate this?

[distant flume]

you can transfer between servers???

FOUND THE WITCH!

[celest halo]

I can half a** transfer between server 🤣

[somber ermine]

Error! App '...' state is 0x606 after update job.

what do i do

[tepid badger]

why should that not work

[distant flume]

most of us are crashing when transferring (at least with mods)

[tepid badger]

i didnt try reapplying my mods yet

probably the issue

[distant flume]

oh.... have fun

[tepid badger]

no i just played without

did in fact have fun, since the game was working and all lmao

[distant flume]

my players would not appreciate losing all their tames, items, and buildings if i removed their mods 😄

so instead we just have to suffer with half-@** transfers of crashing and reconnecting

[tepid badger]

i had only custom levels and moros/dragons, but didnt get far enough to actually own moros or dragons

[celest halo]

Yup we just have to wait for the WC overlords that haven't said anything about the issue to fix it for us mere peasants 🤣

[toxic hazel]

Just keep trying this is a connection issue

[hexed steeple]

I've had this error because of lack of disk space, and also had it when steam wasnt logging in properly to make the download

[stuck kettle]

Ok, odd thing. I have a mitrado server. All of the sudden I start seeing a server going down message. I log out and go to my nitrado server. It's still up. I try to log back in, get a connection timed out message. Go out, restart server. Server comes back up. Still getting connection tomed out issues when I try to get back in. Anyone else having this issue?

[main depot]

Does anyone know why you can't add the "Eggcelent Adventure" mod to Nitrado anymore? It's missing from the mod list, and it keeps getting deleted in the command line. The mod works on my test server, so it's not due to an incompatibility issue. Other event mods are still there, too...

[sturdy flame]

Question: Do you have similar problems? For me, the game keeps crashing, or cut down trees remain, or trees and rocks are in the base and can't be removed. PC: Ryzen 9 7900x 3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32GB DDR5 5600 RAM

[distant flume]

do you have the birthday event running?

[earnest socket]

Good afternoon everybody just wondering if anybody would happen to know on the new DLC Astraeos DLC at the coordinates 48.3 lat 88.1 lon there is a mountain but for some reason it will not let me get to it but it is on the map is there a special way of getting to it I have partially unlocked it can see it off in the distance but will not let me get to it even if I ghost to the barrier it kills me.. do I need to update something or are they adding it later.

[distant flume]

for me those lingering non-existant rocks and trees go away if i go far enough away to de-render and come back

[sturdy flame]

Ok

[celest halo]

Same for me, till next time I login. Then I have to go out of render range and back again

[distant flume]

yup

YAY ARK THINGS

[river tinsel]

do you guys having issues with transfers ?

[distant flume]

welcome to the party

[modest night]

I have a weird issue. We can transfer to forg and back to island smoothly, but Extintion and Abberation both say “you dont own this map “. I do in fact own both and are clustered with the other two maps. Is there a work around/ fix to the “map ownership” problem?

[distant flume]

each map/dlc has to be individually downloaded again

[celest halo]

Need to have the dlc for them download/installed on the client

[modest night]

Im the cluster owner. Do I need to use a back up from before the update was implemented?

[celest halo]

It's client side not server side, the game client needs the dlc maps installed to join a server that is running that map

[modest night]

I did get the prompt to get the map. It took me to the store and i clicked to get the map. It tells me ive got it but trying to log in i get the same “ map ownership “ message

[wind plume]

Anyone know how to reset player info and server info on steamcmd where u host servers?

like without mods and setting deleting

just server like all dinos and player info

[hot crown]

Yes different names. All ran fine before the update.

How do you get out of a restart loop when the force stop/start buttons won't appear? Anybody know?

[earnest socket]

Good afternoon everybody just wondering if anybody would happen to know? on the new DLC Astraeos at the very bottom of the map there is an island that is not allowing me to get to... It shows the island on the war map that I hang on my wall in my base.. is that something that you have to unlock?

[celest halo]

That map is still a work in progress and not all areas are done and are blocked off from the players

[celest halo]

Might have to try unchecking them in steam, doing a restart of steam and check them again

[modest night]

Im using Nitrado as my server host. Is Steam a completely different hosting service or part of Nitrado ?

Sry. New at running a cluster 😬

[celest halo]

It telling you, you don't have the dlc installed has nothing to do with the server

It's the game side and you have the steam role so guessing you installed the game on your PC with that

[modest night]

Oooof. Not sure how i got a steam role. Im on Xbox. Never had a steam acct

Ok role correction 😁

[chrome ember]

yo

[hot crown]

Hit the little 3 line button on ark and click on manage game and add-ons. Then hit that button again and click manage installation and storage. Then scrolls down and make sure each one is actually installed. They should all have a check mark by them. I had that issue as well. Some of them didn't have the checkmark so I kept getting that message.

[modest night]

Omfg !!!! I have 2 saviors today !! @hot crown and @celest halo !!

You two seriously rock!! ❤️❤️❤️

[junior mason]

So whats happening with your one map in the cluster? Is it just left off for now?

[hot crown]

There is 3 maps on the cluster. They were all active, all have the same mods and settings, but only 1 was showing up in the list to join. That was last night. Woke up today and all 3 are stuck in a restart loop lol.

I see on nitrado they have a message about restart loops. To remove all mods and restore to a backup from before the update. But removing all mods would make everyone lose everything then wouldn't it?

[junior mason]

No idea about that

[hot crown]

Thats even if I can get them out of a restart loop lol. Normally after so long the force stop button appears but I've been sitting here for an hour and the button isn't appearing so I don't even know how to get them to stop.

[modest night]

No, as long as no one is logged in at the time

Server will be shut down so it will be empty

[hot crown]

But if everyone had modded stuff and I remove the mods....all that stuff gets removed to.

[modest night]

It should all temain since they are not on, their machines wont have the new deletions. You will have all the same mods reloaded before anyone has a chance to delete them from their files, they just get the corruption removed

[hot crown]

So so I remove all mods and then just re-add them?

[modest night]

Follow the steps on nitrado, the worstvthat can happen to your players is a slight rollback

When you use a previous backup, all the info is there minus the update corruptions

[celest halo]

As long as you don't start the server while the mods are removed you should be fine doing a mod removal then mod reinstall

[hot crown]

Thanks yall. Will give it a go and hope everyone's stuff is ok lol.

[vast badger]

wish i saw this 5 minutes ago

[main depot]

yes - but I've already taken it out and the mod still doesn't appear on Nitrado. I have both running on my test server - birthday event and Eggcelent -> no problems

[ivory shuttle]

Hey I have a question. I have arkomatic I want to change the craft price to more expensive on the admin vaults and cloners. What's the line of code to do that?

[celest halo]

You send Nitrado a support ticket telling them there system is junk and not showing all the mods lmao, or maybe there system thinks it's not a crossplay mod anymore

[crisp lynx]

Does dino resistance / damage only affect wild dinos? I want to make wild dinos stronger but not tamed ones so will this affect my tamed ones too?

Ark ascended not evolved

[carmine moss]

guys i am new to ark and i am playing in non dedicated host but when i go far from the host i got tped to him how can i fix that

[celest halo]

Don't play on a non-dedicated

[hot crown]

I removed all mods and started from a back up before the update and the servers still just stay in a restart loop. They also won't install their server update. Keeps saying installing update but then doesn't. Any ideas?

[red juniper]

tried rolling back?

[hot crown]

Yeah to a backup from before the update but didn't help

[fresh quail]

hey guys i having problemes with stack mutton and prime meat, ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

thats what i use

[red juniper]

did you put it in gus or game.ini?

[fresh quail]

game.ini

[red juniper]

under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] header?

this is my fully working code

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=10,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

yours looks good, should be working, did you restart your server after making changes?

[fresh quail]

yup

[red juniper]

did you check if newly harvested meats stack? the ones you already had before changing the stack wont take effect

[fresh quail]

and i find that in the game.ini too

[fresh quail]

i find the multiplayer for stack its on 2

[red juniper]

shouldnt matter since you have bIgnoreMultiplier=true)) in your override code

[vast path]

i just need help setting up ark tbh like all the maps and mods

[red juniper]

like from the ground up?

[vast path]

yeah i bought the pack with all the maps just need to download a few and figure out how to work the mods and all to load them

[red juniper]

well what exactly are you trying to do, play single player or dedicated server?

[vast path]

i wanna play a pvp server where i can raid people and build up sum like BAMS ARK but prob not that good of players starting out ofc

[red juniper]

this channel if for people setting up their own servers mostly, you can just got to the server browser and look for a pvp server that suits you

[vast path]

ok i just dont know how to download some maps and mods lol

[red juniper]

open the game,click on Join Game, then select Official or Unofficial Tab, thats up to you, officials are run and managed by wildcard, unofficials are by other players, then select which mode you want to play pvp or pve, then pick a server you want to join, map should be already installed if you installed the base game, mods will automatically download while joining the server

[tacit sleet]

Can some one help me with this please and ty.

It’s odd the server is advertising yet there’s no ping, server version etc like it is still not fully up.

[vast path]

alr ty

[red juniper]

re type server name in the search box and look for duplicates, the greyed out one is probably saved as favorites which is bugged

[candid veldt]

There's something wrong with the server list. Our players are experiencing the same issues. Must be Epic Online Services or something.

[tacit sleet]

K I did that and it states no sessions found

[red juniper]

whats your server name if i may know

[tacit sleet]

FEAR ISLAND

[celest halo]

you check the server log to see if it says Server has completed startup and is now advertising for join.

[red juniper]

the island pvp?

[tacit sleet]

NO PVE-THE ISLAND-name is FEAR ISLAND

[red juniper]

is it a fresh server?

[tacit sleet]

NO had for a few months I did just today uninstalled Ark game on ps5 and reinstalled it also uninstalled the Nitrado server and reinstalled it to see if that would fix it and nothing . All was good until after the update . So after I’m reinstalling the server I could say now it’s a fresh server yes

[red juniper]

mind if i send you a screenshot?

[tacit sleet]

Sure

I added u so u could u can remove me after u do if you’d like

[versed minnow]

why does it say no sessions found when my server is online

[red juniper]

probably using the wrong filter while seraching in the browser, such, map, pve,pvp, password protected or not, etc

[versed minnow]

no like i click refresh when selecting over my servers then it says no sessions found

[red juniper]

whats your server name, i can check really quick

[versed minnow]

oh nevermind i guess it is showing now

[spice wyvern]

Anyone’s else’s aberration map not showing up?

[red juniper]

mine is, and i see plenty others showing in the server browser

[spice wyvern]

My Nitrado server shows that it’s running as well as all my other maps, but the map name doesn’t show up at all

[red juniper]

check your filter if its set as pvp or pve

[spice wyvern]

No I mean on Nitrado. It says the server is running - I haven’t changed any settings - but the server name isn’t generating like the other servers

I even shut it down for 15 minutes and did a restart. Don’t know why this is happening

[red juniper]

whats your server name?

[spice wyvern]

I just shut it down again and am going to wait. My other 4 maps show up. It’s Loot Gremlins Aberration Boosted

[red juniper]

let me know when its up, i can check if it shows on my end

[spice wyvern]

I turned it back on and it updated but still not showing up

[red juniper]

isnt it on restart loop?

[spice wyvern]

Nope. Says server is running

[deft lily]

I’m using steamcmd for my cluster and playing on Xbox. Is there a way to increase the backup save frequency? Currently it creates a .ark about every 2h10m.

[red juniper]

yeah not showing here

[spice wyvern]

I have no idea what to do

[red juniper]

have you tried a roll back?

[red juniper]

no without a server manager, you can change the frequency of the auto world save, but not the 2 hours ish back up

[spice wyvern]

Not yet, didn’t want to mess up any of my players stuff if they were able to play earlier. I don’t know how long it hasn’t been working for

[red juniper]

did you make any changes to your settins before it stopped showing?

[deft lily]

Thank you, just one more thing though that I don’t really understand. How is the auto save any different than the back up?

[spice wyvern]

Nope

[red juniper]

the auto save rewrites your last .ark file

every 15 minutes

[gentle scaffold]

How do I look for already tamed dinos I died and I can't remember were I was so Idk where my dino is.

[spice wyvern]

Inventory - tames on the top tab

[red juniper]

@spice wyvern Autosave vs. Backup: The AutoSavePeriodMinutes parameter controls the frequency of saves to the current save file, not the backup interval. The backups are generally intended for situations where the main save file is corrupted.

[gentle scaffold]

Unfortunately It's not a new tame

[red juniper]

is it asa or ase?, asa has a built in dino tracker

[spice wyvern]

You can search its name

[gentle scaffold]

ASE

[spice wyvern]

Ohhhhhh

I thought it was ASA

[gentle scaffold]

Yeah I sadly lost my desmodus

[deft lily]

That is very informative. Thank you. So what you are saying is that the backup file contains the auto save data designated by the frequency you have set. Default being 15. So by doing a rollback by default would take you back 15 min, give or take.

[red juniper]

is it single player or a server?

[gentle scaffold]

Server

[red juniper]

you own server?

[gentle scaffold]

No

[sly swift]

Hello, I'm playing on the official server, level 95, and haven't done a boss fight yet. Can someone take me to a boss fight?

[red juniper]

check if the server has a dino tracker mod, if not, then you are out of lucj

[gentle scaffold]

How do I check for it ?

[red juniper]

yesh auto save will always re write you last .ark, you cand modify this with AutoSavePeriodMinutes=15 in your gus.ini, the full back up generates every 2 hours or so, that cant be modified

[red juniper]

check on your engrams see if theres something that says dino tacker

@deft lily i personally use a server manager that let you set have often you want to create full back ups

[deft lily]

I am still fairly new to all of this and I don’t know of any.

[red juniper]

i can send you a link to the manager i use if you want to give it a try

[gentle scaffold]

Whoever told me this game would be fun. Is a liar

[celest halo]

the fun is figuring out how to fix it after an update so you can play 😂

[deft lily]

When it works, it is fun! Along with frustrating. When you lose your 💩 cause you lost your💩. That has to say something🤷‍♂️🤦

[red juniper]

To be honest if you are new to the game, run while you still can lol, it will consume your life

[daring lynx]

Why isn't my Crafting overrides working? Trying to change the Crafting Cost/Recipe for the Awesome Spyglass, and Dino Tracker mod items...

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="EngramEntry_Dinotracker_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C ",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_ElementDust_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))```

[celest halo]

because your trying to change the crafting cost of the engram and not the item

[daring lynx]

Oh, So I should change the EngramEntry to PrimalItem or such?

Just dunno, because I don't see anything on the Dino Tracker's page that does PrimalItem

[celest halo]

wiki has then as PrimalItem https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts

[celest halo]

might have to look at the mods manifest file to figure out the primalitem names, not all mod authors share them like they do engram names

[red juniper]

just replace it so it looks like this

"PrimalItem_AwesomeTeleporters_Teleporter_C

[crisp lynx]

Does dino resistance / damage only affect wild dinos? I want to make wild dinos stronger but not tamed ones so will this affect my tamed ones too?

In ascended

[daring lynx]

Okay the Spyglass didn't change but the Dino Tracker did, so I'm guessing I can't use Crafted items in the Recipe, that it has to be Resources?

Though I would like it if I could make it need the GPS/Spyglass/Magnifying Glass/Dino Tracker/Element Dust

[fathom tinsel]

Im having my server not able to restart/start. Anyone running into those problems today? Maybe ill just delete my mods folder to start with...

[latent rune]

my server is not experiencing any issues

my game, however, is experiencing major issues, lol

[blazing lichen]

hi having an issue with my nitrado server the server is online but i cant even see it in the server list, my friend on playstation can see it just fine but i (on PC) cant the server is crossplay so no clue whats going on

[oak sorrel]

Why cant I find my own hosted server on xboxbut my friends on xbox can?

[red juniper]

check yoo are using the right fisters in the in game servger browser, suck map, pvp/pve, password protected or not

[fathom tinsel]

sigh looks like the latest patch killed my server. I restored to a backup from the 8th and once it updated the server died on start again. Guess I am just SOL for a few days AGAIN.

Unless anyone has suggestions.

I guess I will go back to not restarting a server for a month so I don't have to deal with patches like this that just kill the server. So tired of this.

[bleak ivy]

ASE or ASA?
could be an issue with router settings. tho unlikely since its a different device hosting, LAN generally works fine.

[bleak ivy]

I would check the GUS and see if there is the mod and map setting there. that broke my server
can't remember their exact config but its activemod or something.

[blazing lichen]

i am i have my servers favorited but when i refresh it just keeps saying "no sessions found"

[red juniper]

whats your server name?

[fathom tinsel]

I looked at the mods already, looked at the mods. Nothing obvious. Gets to a point and just dies. I host this all on *nix. No meaningful logs unfortunally =/

[raw geyser]

Special ed, I play on that server with him

Same thing happens to me and I am on ps5

[celest halo]

you check the ShooterGame.log in the ShooterGame/Saved/Logs folder

[red juniper]

this is not a nitrado server is it?

[raw geyser]

It is

It just started doing the no sessions found after @blazing lichen started seeing the problem

[red juniper]

its showing for me, hes probably not using the right filters in the server browser, can you guys send me a screen shot?

from his in game server browser

[raw geyser]

Yup one sec

Sent

[fathom tinsel]

Super. Looks like it might be the auto-doors mod.
Thanks for the logname though.

[celest halo]

if its saying Requested to load a mod that is incompatible with the current engine version and was working before for you with 5.5 delete the mods folder and let the server redownload them all

[latent coral]

I have this too

[fathom tinsel]

More odd error than that but it looks like it's still autodoors.

[celest halo]

thats an install error by that failed to move path

[latent coral]

I've installed a fresh server, only got the mod map the server loads fine, add any one mod and i get thsi mod is inccompatible

[fathom tinsel]

I am going to run a backup then remove the AutoDoors mod. Bet it starts up on the first try.

[latent coral]

clean up seems to have worked for me, didnt think i would have needed to do that on a fresh install

[fathom tinsel]

Removing mod folder did not work. Removing the mod did. Maybe I should restore from backup (broken) and delete the modData folder too?

Ok, Sure enough. I even removed the mod folder, downloaded it directly from CF and loaded it to my server and tried to start it. The autoDoors mod is crashing the server. Guess ill leave it offline for now but I sent the dev for the mod a ticket on it.

If your using the AutoDoors mod your server might just fail to launch after the most recent patch. It was working just fine before that patch.

[celest halo]

oof

[humble thicket]

any windows10/xbox coders tryna help me learn how to do this? i want to put up 5 new servers

[dull whale]

I am xbox. I use the Beacon app on my cluster

[humble thicket]

may i dm u

[shell juniper]

Is it against TOA for sever owners to allow cheaters on their sever ?

[subtle ingot]

I strongly recommend Beacon as well, for anyone using nitrado really

[oak sorrel]

Asa and im hosting the server on my pc

[oak sorrel]

So its weird that I couldn't find it but I could suddenly find it after restarting it

[solemn heath]

I’ve been getting that too. I Click the correct check mark , un click, click, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s NOT your settings! I got the IP from the server owner and joining by IP seemed to work at the time. But it seems arbitrary.

[fathom tinsel]

Uhh, You can run anti-cheat and ban lists if you want. As far as I know if you are running your own server you can let anyone join. I don't know how that works with xbox though since I am PC.

[shell juniper]

No more or less have a sever owners with a pay to win sever who allows cheaters to play along with gen pop and when hit with proof has banned anyone who shared proof of the goings on we want the sever taken down as blatantly allowing some to cheat and not others

[fathom tinsel]

Tough luck man. Don't play on other peoples servers then. They can run it any way they want. If you don't like that, play offical or something.

[shell juniper]

Yeah totally agree was just curious if much can be done also hard to avoid when there’s no offical through Xbox

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, I am not trying to be a jerk when I say that. Basically. If you want a server that is not pay to win or no cheaters you either have to find a trusted server group or host your own. The only other option is official but I am PC, I thought there were xbox officials still too?

[shell juniper]

Oh nah man your good totally get you and what ya saying just sad really

[deft lily]

Any incite on what could cause a .arkprofile file to randomly delete from a “map_wp” folder when transferring?

[mossy cargo]

I posted this in other chat but thought be useful here aswell if anyone having trouble

I’ve been helping out server owners so I’ll put this below as this has helped them mostly and it’s been passed to other server owners etc

Helpful to servers info mods

• mods that generally use some form of vanila skeleton such as raptors etc 9/10 work

• most that use ui or custom ui input generally don’t work currently

• editing lighting on map to make it dimmer seems to help stability and some reason help get people in servers dunno why just does

• if having issues with cryos or depot (if depot doesn’t work ) use pelayoris cryo storage (as doesn’t use wild cards new cryo input method so cryos work affected and works better then most cryos ironically)

• most edit spawns made cause server not to restart unsure issue of this but something to be aware of

[woven trail]

Anyone have news of the solution of the crash when tranfering to another map? Its still crashing

[hollow saddle]

Can somebody tell me how to turn off auto breed when I killa wild dino?

They keep getting babies. Like rex/bronto .. etc

[unkempt ore]

hi, how can i make mi dinos higher level? my highest lvl is 120 so

[lost plinth]

Change the Overrideofficialdifficulty=X to 10 will make wild dinos max level 300 dino wipe after restart to spawn new levels

If you can’t find the line you can add it manually to the GameUserSettings.ini

[lost plinth]

In settings under the general tab look for the ‘No wild Babies and turn it off’ restart the server and Dino wipe.

[raven wigeon]

any1 has mystic plus installed???

Nany and some more structures arent working anymore

[candid needle]

Anyone found a fix for Crashing during Transfer on cluster? pretty anoying

[unkempt ore]

I dis it to 7 and it didnt wor

[lost plinth]

Did you make sure to save? I know it’s a dumb question, but I’ve done it myself before.

Also did you Dino Wipe after changing it to?

[unkempt ore]

i did

lemme check if i savedç

im dumb

xd

FIANNLY

IT WORKED

i have never been so happy to see a troodon (it was lvl 189)

[hollow saddle]

I will try this, thanks

[hollow saddle]

It works, thanks

[pearl token]

nope, idek if WC are working on a fix since they fixed it for official

[jade gate]

Having issues with a lot of dinos clipping through the ground.
Not sure if it's server side setting or just an UE5.5 issue.

Specifically flyers will a lot of the time spawn and fly under the ground with their heads going up through the ground.
Also riding some mounts, like Doeds will clip into the ground when moving around with them.

[cunning herald]

Hi guys, can I host a non dedicated server and play with my friends? (Both of us using Epic Games)

[distant flume]

are you running awesome spyglass? chatter is that it contributes a lot to that

other than that, welcome to the new normal of 5.5

[cold ore]

Right now, if even one mod has a different version between unofficial servers, server transfer doesn’t work. Are you guys experiencing the same issue?

[distant flume]

server transfers arent working irregardless. the only way i have gotten smooth transfers is with no mods, otherwise it's "unhandled exception error" crash

it's a well known thing at this point

[native palm]

Anyone else not able to transfer to other arks on the cluster? Im on pc. Get unreal engine crashes.

[spice wyvern]

Known issue. Let it crash then load into the map you were transferring to within the cluster

[jade gate]

Ah I see, will try without it or super spyglass instead

[distant flume]

literally the post above yours...

[native palm]

I saw that after I posted lol

[daring oriole]

Who knows how I can make wild dinos spawn above level 150

[latent coral]

throwing out a tamed gacha on Astraeos is crashing the server?

[willow crystal]

the client crashes every time we try to travel from one map to another, is there anything new yet?

[distant flume]

4 posts above yours

[celest halo]

Nope last steam client patch was 3 days ago

[willow crystal]

yes i know, i heard that maybe some mods are responsible for this and not ark itself?

[distant flume]

it's happening on official too, so likely not mod related

[willow crystal]

ok thanks

[gilded copper]

How does one make a cluster? Is it regular servers and you connect them somehow?

[raven coral]

is anyone else maps showing they are up and running but dont show up on the server list? i have a cluster with all maps but seems aberration and extinction dont want to run properly

[orchid pulsar]

how can i increase dino spawn rate i cleard a zone like 2 days ago and its still empty

[raven coral]

i figure its a mod issue so iv started with 4/18 to try and see

[orchid pulsar]

have you tried to put Ark.UseServerList 0 in console?

[raven coral]

im not sure what you mean

i run my servers off nitrado

[orchid pulsar]

i dont know why but to find my server you need to put Ark.UseServerList 0 in ingame console might be the same for your server

[raven coral]

for console commands?

[orchid pulsar]

yeah you put it in your console in game and you are able to find more servers

[raven coral]

i will try it

nope it didnt work haha i think its something to do with a mod

[orchid pulsar]

by any change do you know how i can increase dino spawn rate?

[toxic hazel]

What is it called? I could have a gander to see if I can see it

ALso check if the servers get to advertising to join status

[raven coral]

its up now and running without mods at all. before that i tried it with only pelorayis cryo storage and it didnt work. now that it works im going to try a different mod thats called S dinos

im wondering if its just mods in general causing it to stay down

[toxic hazel]

Potentially, if it dont get to advertising to join then it has not fully booted/stuck

[toxic hazel]

You could also try update you amazon certs too, this could help boot with mods

[raven coral]

im not sure how to do that lol

[toxic hazel]

I'll send a dm

[unreal ember]

Is there a way to disable cryo sickness for a PVP server?

[mossy cargo]

Anyone know why all sudden people and creatures now have yellow highlight on them ? On servers

[gloomy yew]

Anyone else getting timeouts transferring within their cluster after the crash fixes

[tulip hollow]

Looking for an active admin to help run server 70 slot

[wise kindle]

modded cryos, its hardcoded with vanilla pods

[river tinsel]

Any update of the transfer crash issue guys?

[hot crown]

Anyone know how to get a server to appear in the list to join. Finally got my cluster servers back up but only 2/3 are appearing in the list to join..

[raven coral]

iv had the same issue i have all maps up but abb and ext wont show up. i removed all the mods off abb and its now up but ext has no mods and still doesnt show up

[river tinsel]

Same here

[hot crown]

Yeah idk they all have the same mods. Extinction and Astraeos are showing up but the center is not.

[river tinsel]

On my side it's extinction that is not showing up

Seems to be random

[mossy cargo]

Ok so figured out the yellow highlight was only cause I was allied with another tribe

It highlights alliance memebers and vanila dinos

Anyone know how to turn off the highlight feature ? It’s really annoying

[solid tide]

I'm at a point where I need a computer specialist/game dev here to help me lol.
Anyone know anyone willing to help me figure out why my machine is using 32% cpu with only one server on it, while I have other machines using 3% with 10 servers on it?

im using the same software on all machines, running the same game, and hetzner has done a thorough hardware analysis and has deterined theres nothing wrong with it apparently.

[runic yew]

I’ve downloaded some creature mods on Ark PlayStation for my astraeos world, but they won’t spawn in naturally I have to use console command commands to spawn them in anyone have any ideas?

[rotund scaffold]

All the Romans structures from my server astraeos are glitchy and I get inside kick me out I try to log in stay on black screen 😔 any advice or help?

[hot crown]

I found a fix that worked for me. I shut off the server, deleted all mods, saved it, re-added all mods, and then restarted the server and now I see it. Not sure if you run mods or if this will help but it fixed mine.

[wooden folio]

Hi, I'm having a small issue with the level-up system.

I customized the XP values required to level up using the LevelExperienceRampOverrides line. Everything seems to work fine overall, but new players appear to be stuck at level 67, even though there's nothing special about that level in the configuration. I'm not sure what's causing this. Here's an excerpt from the line:

LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=0,ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=50,ExperiencePointsForLevel[2]=150,ExperiencePointsForLevel[3]=300,ExperiencePointsForLevel[4]=500,

The rest of the line continues in a similar way up to around level 195. I added this configuration while several players, including myself, were already level 150 or higher. Those players were able to keep leveling up just by reconnecting or continuing to play.

So I assume the line is being read completely, even though it's all on a single line?

If that's the case, why can't new players progress beyond level 67?

ExperiencePointsForLevel[67]=214700,ExperiencePointsForLevel[68]=221300,ExperiencePointsForLevel[69]=228000,

hope someone can help me 🥹

[simple zephyr]

for some odd reason since the update my mods on my server are not showing, booting it shows mods are valid and loaded, but when I go to join it's only showing 3 mods. I have went through and validated the server as well. it was working fine before the 5.5 update

[tall hamlet]

hi, im trying to host a non dedicated server with my brother but when we do it doesnt show up in the join server list, any suggestions?

[vapid hearth]

There is a mod called no cryosickness or something like that, I was using it before 5.5, anyway, I'm not sure if it still work, I've switch to modded pod.

[tall hamlet]

am i allowed to @ mods to get help?

[fathom tinsel]

Try deleting the sub folder under your mods folder and forcing the server to re-download the mods by restarting it. That has worked well for most people.

[celest halo]

mods dont work for WC so not going to get you anywhere, and most people here play on dedicated servers so your chance of someone knowing about non-dedicated is very low

[fathom tinsel]

You may need to setup port forwards, that is probably it. Do you have access to your router?

[fathom tinsel]

It should be a folder called something like 83374.
Path should be something similar to this.
"ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ShooterGame/Mods"

FYI, my issue with the Autodoors Mod from yesterday is fixed. Apparently CF had a glitch and was serving a old version of the mod and it broke things. The mod author has published a new release and my server is working again.

[tall hamlet]

how do I do that?

yes i do!

[fathom tinsel]

DM me and ill try to help there. Its easier and won't clutter up the chat as much.

[lofty nexus]

Hello, I’m trying to set up an unofficial server for Ark survival evolved and I would like to know how to do it

So far I’ve installed a program called Ark server manager

And done the setup there

But the server is stuck on initializing and I have no idea if it’s even working or not

Can anybody help me?

[simple zephyr]

That fixed it ty.

[dim path]

guys can somebody help me and my friend we cant join our server from nitrado everything we try is not working

[fathom tinsel]

Glad its working!

[fathom tinsel]

Can you see it but not join it?

[dim path]

yes

[mossy cargo]

Is the server on nitardo (name of server )
Set up

Like for example

Steve jobs ark server

If not or unsure double check

Then search for said server in server list

If you have any mods on I’d suggest removing them untill
Your server shows up first

[dim path]

can i send you a pictue on private massage?

picture

[mossy cargo]

If it’s greyed out then something is up

With recent update usually means mods or need for roll back

If your server is new then roll back shouldn’t be an option

[mossy cargo]

Rather just tell me as I don’t usually do dms

[dim path]

okay i got the server on my steam and if i try to join theres a message coming that some id is not working but we dont know how to fix that

[mossy cargo]

I thought you got it on nitrado ?

[dim path]

yes but to join the server i need it on steam thats what chatgpt told me xd

[lofty nexus]

Is this not the correct channel to ask this?

[mossy cargo]

No no

Steam and nitardo are not same thing

[mossy cargo]

Which server provider ?

[lofty nexus]

I’m trying to set it up manually on my computer

Using the ark survival evolved server manager tool I got from the wiki

[mossy cargo]

Ok so nitrado go on there website nitrado and log into your server with your details etc

[dim path]

yes we did that

we have our server on nitrado opened and hes online we can see the server on steam but cant join

[mossy cargo]

I have no experience with ark server manager or what ever it is your using ?

Seems a wierd way to try and set up server

Easiest is rent one form nitrado

How it’s always been I know others have used other providers but I don’t have experience with other providers

[lofty nexus]

It’s not a provider, it’s trying to set up one yourself on your pc. Mostly because all my friends are cheap and don’t want to pay

[mossy cargo]

Oh your playing game through steam ok ok I misinterpreted what ya ment

Ok is the server greyed out on server list ?

[lofty nexus]

Nitrado asks for too much money and I thought it would be easy to set it up. I once did it for Xbox

But apparently steam its way harder for some reason

[mossy cargo]

Well not gonna lie ya most probably not gonna achive that

[lofty nexus]

Why the heck does Ark have a dedicated server tool then if there’s no support for using it?

[mossy cargo]

Nitrado asks for £17 ish a month for 20 slot ? How’s that expensive

[mossy cargo]

I have no idea

[lofty nexus]

Latin America, here that’s way too much to ask

[dim path]

its not greyed out i think

[mossy cargo]

Ok can you click on it and join ?

[lofty nexus]

So is it impossible to ask for help for that here? To leave and ask somewhere else

[dim path]

if i click on it there comes a message that we cant join

[mossy cargo]

Santos? Or am I thinking wrong region ?

[lofty nexus]

Colombia

[mossy cargo]

Never head of the id problem lemme ask someone quick

[mossy cargo]

Ah ok would £17 my money be $24? Your money roughly

[lofty nexus]

I have a budget of 0 dollars because none of my friends are willing to pay anything for a server

It’s manual or nothing unfortunately for them

[bleak ivy]

ASM isn't official. so won't get wildcard support.
plenty of people here do know it (I used ASM for ASE, haven't used any managers for ASA)
and tons of youtube guides on how to host servers, I imagine some are for ASM while most are for manual.

[lofty nexus]

But the dedicated server option is official and doesn’t work

[mossy cargo]

Ah well ya not gonna get far then

[bleak ivy]

ASE or ASA for starters

[lofty nexus]

Ase

I specified on my original message

[bleak ivy]

everybody on steam/epic?

[lofty nexus]

Everybody on steam

[mossy cargo]

Ok so the id error apparent is due to network issue or server data issue here’s what I found

Server Shutdown/Restart:
If the server has been shut down and restarted, it might require a fresh database. You may need to wait for the server to initialize completely.
Update Checks:
Ensure that both your game and the server are running the same versions and are on the same patch.
Server Reset:
If the server is using a specific version of the game and its settings don't align with your client, you may need to clear your local cache or even start a fresh game.
Mod Conflicts:
If the server uses mods, ensure your game is properly updated with the latest version of those mods.

[bleak ivy]

shouldn't need much if everybody is on steam almost everything should work on default.

[lofty nexus]

For some reason I can’t join my own server, I can’t even see it on the server list

[mossy cargo]

It’s either that or join a server

[lofty nexus]

Want me to send pictures of the set up I have?

[bleak ivy]

are you hosting and playing on the same PC?

[lofty nexus]

No

Hosting on one pc and playing on another

[bleak ivy]

it doesn't show up in the LAN tab?

[lofty nexus]

Nope

[bleak ivy]

never had that happen.
people outside can see it?

[mellow nymph]

Has anyone found a solution for crashing on server transfers for unofficial servers? Or are we still just at the mercy of ark

[lofty nexus]

Idk, haven’t tried it yet

Friends are waiting for me to give green light before installing the game

If I can’t connect then no one will install the game and they will just refund

[bleak ivy]

make sure you do the port-forwarding for them.
open singleplayer and use the command open IP:port password port should be 7777 by default I believe. if you don't have a password just ignore it.

[lofty nexus]

I followed all the steps on the wiki

[bleak ivy]

that should be included then

[lofty nexus]

Hosting pc is windows 11 machine and I already made inbound rules for the procedures and allowed shooter game to bypass firewall

[bleak ivy]

you can check if its viewable on battlemetrics (website) or the steam server browser(not ingame, it can have issues)

[lofty nexus]

How do I do that?

[bleak ivy]

you can just search the server's name after clicking on ark survival evolved.

[lofty nexus]

I did and it doesn’t appear

[bleak ivy]

wonder if its actually running

[lofty nexus]

Rn it should be up with the name “zirzeus” and a password of “1234”

[lofty nexus]

Well I have a cmd window open

[bleak ivy]

what is its last message

[fathom tinsel]

I have had that happen before. If you open console and type this in, hit enter then refresh it has worked before.
"Ark.UseServerList 0"

[mossy cargo]

Anyone know how to get rid of the yellow alliance highlight ? Cause it’s really annoying it’s only been there since today

[lofty nexus]

PID[0]: 37496

[bleak ivy]

thats an early message isn't it
does it list the number of cores

haven't run an ASE server in a long time, not sure the order of console messages anymore.

[lofty nexus]

No

Idk it’s just stuck there, idk if I should like wait an hour or if this is supposed to open quickly

[bleak ivy]

something went wrong with the startup then.
make sure a map is chosen

[lofty nexus]

I’m sure I chose valguero

[lofty nexus]

Doesn’t even let me type on the cmd window

[bleak ivy]

they are talking about ASA anyway

[lofty nexus]

Oh

[bleak ivy]

did you click the local IP?

[lofty nexus]

On the official dedicated server tool or the Ark server manager?

The official tool it’s literally just a button

It doesn’t have an ip field

The server tool does indeed have one and I did made sure it was my laptop’s ip

[bleak ivy]

you are running ASM right?
if you are doing the official method, you are supposed to make a Bat file to launch it with all the settings required in that.

[fathom tinsel]

Oh right.. that command was for ASA not ASE.
I usually was able to just manually add the IP to the favorites list in ASE and it worked.
Another trick is to launch in single player, open the console and type in "open ip.here?password" then hit enter. It should try to join the server and will add it to the last joined list.

Also make sure you have things in your server broser filter set right like "show empty, show password protected" etc..

[lofty nexus]

I didn’t knew I needed a bat file.

I stopped the asm the moment you said it isn’t supported

[bleak ivy]

it isn't official supported. its an unofficial tool.

[lofty nexus]

I do understand that. I just hoped someone here would have experience with it but apparently no

[bleak ivy]

no idea if its still supported by whoever made it, but it shouldn't really matter since ASE isn't getting updated much.

[fathom tinsel]

You used to be able to add it to server list in Steam too by IP/Port. You could try to join (it would fail) but then when you are in the in-game server browser you could see and join from there. Lots of odd workarounds.

[bleak ivy]

the server isn't running, thats why they can't see it.

[bleak ivy]

okay for the bat file, in the folder the dedicated server software is downloaded.
make a text file and rename it to start_server.bat

[lofty nexus]

How do I know where it’s installed?

[bleak ivy]

did you install it from steam or steamCMD?

[lofty nexus]

Is it on steam properties?

[lofty nexus]

Steam

[bleak ivy]

if you downloaded from the steam library then yeah, just right click it,manage, local files

[lofty nexus]

Ok, any particular folder inside?

Or just on the ark survival evolved dedicated server

[bleak ivy]

wherever the shootergameserver.exe is

think thats what the ASE one is called anyway

[lofty nexus]

I ain’t finding it on the search bar

Found it

[bleak ivy]

once you make the bat file put
ShooterGameServer.exe Valguero_P?SessionName=<server_name>?ServerPassword=<join_password>?Port=<port>?QueryPort=<query_port>?MaxPlayers=<max_players>?ServerAdminPassword=<admin_password>
in it, replacing the things in the <> to whatever you want them at.
I'd just leave the port at 7777 or 7779

remove the <> as well

[lofty nexus]

What’s the name for Valguero?

Just Valguero and that’s it?

[bleak ivy]

Valguero_P replace TheIsland

forgot to change that

[lofty nexus]

Is the port for queries the same one for port?

[bleak ivy]

query port is 27015

it changes based on how many servers you have running

[lofty nexus]

After I have the bat file I just run it or do I enter to the actual game and press the dedicated server button?

Or do I run the dedicated server tool?

[bleak ivy]

just run the bat file.

also here's a page that lists all the settings https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
there are TONS of settings to do things.

[lofty nexus]

What do I do if it got stuck again at PID:26200?

Or should i just wait

?

[bleak ivy]

depends on how fast the PC is but shouldn't take tooo long with no mods enabled.

if its longer then 10 minutes then its probably not working. tho I'd assume something is wrong after 5

[lofty nexus]

Ok

I’ll go eat meanwhile

Thanks for the help?

Btw can I ping you if it doesn’t work or would that be rude?

[bleak ivy]

can ping, others may help as well

[lofty nexus]

Thanks

[lofty nexus]

So, it’s up and I managed to enter, but no one else can connect since it’s only lan, how can I get it on the unofficial server list?

[bleak ivy]

thats the port-forwarding.

[lofty nexus]

So I did it wrong and that’s why I’m the only one who can join?

[bleak ivy]

you can also use one of many LAN connection things like himachi and zero-tier

[bleak ivy]

make sure the router is also setup properly.

no idea how you actually do that, never done it didn't need to when I was actually hosting for others (PC xbox works differently, very differently)

[lofty nexus]

I know, I hoped it would be similar but it wasn’t

[little mango]

I’m hoping someone knows how to fix this issue:

on my cluster when ever someone transfers to other maps everything in their inventory is duplicated
Example: 50 kibble will be 100

[gloomy yew]

yes that seems like a common bug on nitrado we have the same thing

we emailed them about it and they said they were aware and working on it

[little mango]

Ok thank you

[lofty nexus]

Can someone here help with port forwarding?

Apparently it’s way harder than I thought

I can’t find the local ipv4 of my device on the list of connected devices

And I’m almost sure it’s because I’m using a tplink device

[fathom tinsel]

DM me.

[waxen tiger]

is there a reason why some of the dinos in nemesis dont spawn in "the center"?

[sturdy crest]

Anyone else crashing when transferring in clusters?

[celest halo]

yup, WC might care about it at some point and fix it

[honest condor]

Can someone try joining my ase server and tell me if its working because i can join but i wanna see if someone else who isnt on my network can join

[fathom tinsel]

ASA server? What's the name?

[honest condor]

Its an ASE server

[fathom tinsel]

I don't have it installed right now =/

[agile stone]

ASE was a harddrive devouring hog, having that installed with ASA.. yep no thanks.

[modest night]

I added Astraeos to my cluster on nitrado yesterday. All my maps were operating properly. I was on AST ladt night and everything was dandy. Today though, neither island or Ast are showing names in the nitrado server list ( just shows Gameserver-20 slots) visiting both web interface pages shows both maps are running. But trying to log into the island map , xbox says no sessions found and Ast is non existant

I restored map backups but that did nothing

[agile stone]

So, if I understand that, you had the Island and Astraeos running fine last night, you could see the servers, log into them, and play. Today however, you are unable to connect to a session and the Astraeos map isn't showing up in the listings at all? That sounds like you need to restart xbox and check your internet. If you made no significant changes, then it should still be fine. Also try verifying your server files and making sure everything is updated.

[modest night]

All that is correct but its the same for all 3 of my admins.
In the nitrado change server list , island and Ast aren’t named, they just show Gameserver 20 slots.

[agile stone]

The Gameserver-20 Slots designation, that should be the name of the server, were they previously named? Did you set a name in the .ini? Sounds like the nitrado web interface is screwed up honestly, unless one of your other admins changed it or did something.

[modest night]

Another anomaly is those two maps say. /20 players
The other 3 maps say 0/20 players .

( that was when everyone was at work lol)

Yes, Abb ,Forglar and Ext are named . Island and Ast are not

[agile stone]

Well.. you did say you had a backup of the map and saves, reinstall the servers and then copy your map and save files back in? The first thing that I think of is corruption in the .ini files but I self host, don't use nitrado and haven't in years.

[honest condor]

Can someone that has ase try joining my ase server and tell me if its working because i can join but i wanna see if someone else who isnt on my network can join

[modest night]

Ty Rio ! Ill giver a shot 😁❤️

[agile stone]

Good luck @modest night

LowLevelFatalError [File:F:\build\LostIsland\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\RenderingThread.cpp] [Line: 653]
Rendering thread exception:

im chrashing

[lofty nexus]

Finally got it working but it suddenly crashed

[runic yew]

I’ll try my best to explain this
I downloaded some creature mods for my solo world on asteroes (PlayStation), they don’t spawn in, I have to keep doing the “kill all wild Dino” spank man, and it still doesn’t work. And every time I do that my Mac resets so I have to rediscovered it at all.

Does anyone have any answers

[pearl needle]

hey. I am using steamCMD to host a dedicated ark server and was hoping to add simple mods like engram unlocker. I did the -mods,"Mod_ID' stuff for the .bat file and was able to confirm that it worked on my server, I also confirmed it was crossplay compatible, yet when my brother tried to join on console, he kept crashing. How would I fix this?

I have been very unsuccessful in finding information on this

[half hound]

Has anyone looked in to the .ark save file at the SaveHeader? It appears that creating a new save with the latest ARK makes version 14 files. Previously it was version 13. Some of my servers, Aberration for one, seems to have updated the save, but Island refuses to load and it's still version 13.

[bleak ivy]

destroywilddinos should only kill the wild dinos not reset any other map data. make sure those mods support astraeos.

[bleak ivy]

the mod could be broken due to the UE5.5 update.
can try vanilla with spinkles instead, its a few of those simple mods people like combined including that. also customizable.

[pearl needle]

I see. I did find that while on my pc, mods would show to be fine. There were mods on Xbox that clearly wouldn’t. Also, joining the game from the join menu instead of joining a solo world to access the console and join via local ip seems to pull up the required mod menu as well.
The only mods I had were a tranq and engram mod, but the engram mod I had wasn’t yet updated for console.
The new update makes sense for that, thank you

[deft lily]

Any incite on what could cause a .arkprofile file to randomly delete from a “map_wp” folder when transferring?

[tropic matrix]

Don't think it's just that file. My config folder only has 4 files now on all my maps. And still can't transfer without crashing to desktop. I was checking against my backups to compare files when I found config folder missing significant files.

[mossy cargo]

I can’t seem to get in ark currently jus shows black screen

Was fine before reset
Now when join server it goes to black screen

[grizzled meteor]

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

Incompatible Mod: [928501] Solo Farm Mod

Am I the only one with that issue since last patch? I hear the mod is working for other servers...

[ancient storm]

it has been updated, im currently running it in my server fine

[grizzled meteor]

guess i have to delete \Server0\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame\Mods
thx

[ancient storm]

no worries

[grizzled meteor]

deleting the mods folder seems to work.. fancy.. why does a patch break randomly several mods and they work again if just redownloaded without them not even received an update for 3 months

[celest halo]

Because what ever wc and cf changed for doing mod validation is supper bugged

[worthy roost]

if you save the arksa folder from a server is that all you need for a backup?
I have that, but it seems theres only 2 player .arkprofiles in that one in particular, while on older ones its way more. Why is that?

[raw stirrup]

so i thought mods were fixed ive added them to nitrado server then when i try join the server on asa theres no mods there and it makes the server unjoinable any ideas?

[celest halo]

WC/CF still has an issue with mod validation. People are randomly getting this mod is not for this engine version for random mods, for most deleting mods and reinstalling them fixes it

[steep orchid]

Does anyone know if I can buy the maps separately "Ark Survival Evolved Season Pass" for $4? Because in the pack it says $4 each, but if I try to buy them separately, they cost $12 each.

[modest night]

I have an unpopular opinion. I believe there is an underlying issue on the Astaeos map. My cluster was running smooth , no crashes or black screening UNTIL i added Astraeos to my cluster. Then chaos ensued. Above issues as well as one of my admins got character wiped. After shutting down and disconnecting Ast from my cluster , things are settling down. I know folks are gonna say it has nothing ti do with that map , but facts still stand.

[celest halo]

My cluster runs fine with that map

[wise kindle]

This is selfhost too then?

[celest halo]

Yup and even happens with SP 🤣

[wise kindle]

SP???? Are you kidding?

Has this been talked about yet? Its nuts.

[celest halo]

Who knows, I haven't seen anything from WC about it or steam client crashing on transfers 🤣

[wise kindle]

Ok ty. I help in the Nitrado discord and ppl are blaming them, but that didnt make sense and this confirms it. So ty.

Wait so ppl are only seeing that crash on Steam? Good to know, ty again.

[celest halo]

Sent you dm with screen shots from someone that had it happen on sp

[celest halo]

It might be happening on consoles also not sure. I play on PC steam and most people I have talked to that also crash on transfer are on PC steam

[wise kindle]

yeah Im only seeing Steam so this kinda confirms it. Thanks again.

I may pester you for questions on Shiny later if you dont mind. Thinking of adding it to my cluster.

is it also the case that one cannot join an unofficial server

[subtle ingot]

It's random. My members and I are all able to, but had issues before. Everyone seems to experience different issues at different times. Thus far, just luck of the draw, it seems

[edgy phoenix]

Anyone else have their servers come online when you had them all shut down? How the hell does something like that happen? Nothing in the event logs or restart logs? Nitrado.

[rancid pagoda]

Anyone else's server NOT showing up? Mine's running. Yet not showing up and hasn't for hours

How do I decrease the speed all of the times get when you tame them? Alot of them gets like 700 speed or 450 when you tame them so I need help to find the setting for that

Hello, I have a problem.

I cant use the cryopods without cryofridge around.

How can I fix this setting? So I can uncryo my dinos anywhere

I use normal/config both in my server

[distant flume]

DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True

put that under [server settings] in GUS

[tardy cradle]

Does anyone have problems on the server with disappearing characters?

[subtle ingot]

Did you alter their speed stat multiplier?

[subtle ingot]

Usually you can find them by looking at each map downloading character until you find it. And something about letting it crash if it tries on your way to the download page? 🤔

[tardy cradle]

We have 50 players on the server and every day a lost character that we take out of Save

[alpine mountain]

I've shut down my server since the 5.5 update because things were broken. Anybody know if I'm clear to start her up again? Self-hosted non-Nitrado server with almost 40 mods

[oak sorrel]

I did but I dont know which one of the 3 is for the speed that they get if you tame them, I only want the multiplier for when you increase the speed yourself

[long epoch]

Hey y’all. I have my own unofficial server through nitrado and have removed all mods and then only added back the mods that have been updated since the new update but 2 of them aren’t working. The awesome spyglass and the Dino depot don’t show in my list of things to craft. Any suggestions?

[distant flume]

#pve-discussion message

[bold zodiac]

Instead of nitrado what other companies have yall rented your servers through?

[alpine mountain]

Self hosting is tons better than renting

[bold zodiac]

What’s that process like?

[alpine mountain]

There's different methods, I use GSM. I would assume most others do it with Steam

I run my server off of my laptop from 2021 and it runs well for the 6 people I have on my server.
Its gone to shit since the 5.5 update tho

[distant flume]

i use arkasm. makes self hosting a cluster ridiculously easy

[bold zodiac]

Is that similar to nitrado?

[distant flume]

not at all

I need help i just purchased a subscription to a nitrado server of my own and it says "unable to connect to server app id specified by server is invalid" does anyone know why this is?

Does anyone know reddit is no help

[wise kindle]

Use Steam favorites and add the ip:QUERY port to connect.

[sinful seal]

Wdym steam favorites

[wise kindle]

Are you on steam?

[sinful seal]

Yeah

Favorites on what the servers in the view tab?

[wise kindle]

Add the ip:query port to your Steam server favorites.

[oak sorrel]

I dont need help with that one, I need help to turn down the one that gives the dinos like 700 speed the moment it's tamed, there is 3 things that is involved with the speed multiplier and one of them is the one that gives them a higher speed the moment it gets tamed

[oak sorrel]

Ik that one of them is the affinity and then its the other 2

Anyone else have issues with logging in since update, I’m on Xbox series x I have delete and downloaded all maps again, logged into single player remove, clouds, fog and all the normal stuff, then log into cluster, I can create a new character on every map on the cluster but where my main is on center every time I log into him it crashes or when I do get in after a while it half loads he’s got no gear on nothing in inventory can’t put the level on tabs not there to enter can’t get out of bed, like I’m not fully loaded in yet, I can spin the camera around is about all then game crashes about 1 minute in

[sinful seal]

Can u show ive never done this before

[wise kindle]

Its best you search up how to use Steam server favorites tbh.

[sinful seal]

Idk anything abt this at all

I dmd u and im using steam server favorites

Can u js show me im a visual learner i cant figure tgis out

Or found something that helps for it.

[supple moat]

Hey, I made an unofficial server that i'm hosting on a old gaming pc (24 gigs ram) and I have an issue, or a glitch
When I try to use the crossbow, it often doesn't register hits and then I can't shoot anymore. I need to re-click on the slot of the crossbow, where it reloads again and then can shoot.
How can I fix this?

[arctic mica]

game bug since day 1, there is no fix, think it was sorted on ASA so i'm guessing you're on ASE?

[supple moat]

yeah exactly

wait, seriously???

[arctic mica]

yeah lol

[supple moat]

I see ark ASE videos all the time and it looks fine, though

[arctic mica]

i kinda just got used to it over time on ase lol

[supple moat]

yeah alright, not even a mod that can fix it or something?

[arctic mica]

no it's to do with the server code i think

[supple moat]

yeah ok thx

[arctic mica]

np can't remember which but either spamming the shoot button or holding it down causes it to happen more often

There used to be a few Ark admin discords where server owners could discuss issues and ideas. Google aint what it used to be and cant find any. Does anyone happen to be a member of any that could invite?

[young dove]

Anyone know of a way to keep Astraeos from crash loop on restart? I have currently three maps running in a cluster. Aberration and Extinction load just fine Extinction and Astraeos have identical mod lists. Extinction boots without a problem. But every single time I restart Astraeos, it goes into looping crash.

[fathom tinsel]

Do you have mods on the server? Have you tried deleting them all then restarting the server so they are force downloaded? A lot of people (myself included) had this issue. Mine was the AutoDoors mod a few days ago but it is fixed now.

You don't need to delete the Mod's folder, just everything under it. It should be something like this.
" ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ShooterGame/Mods"

The sub folder should be called something like 83374.

Shut down the server.
Delete the 83374 folder
Start again, wait for mods to download and the server to start again.

[boreal tendon]

i have max difficulty on but it says my max level dino is 120 and not 150?

still crashing on every transfer

[tiny seal]

Still crashing on transfers and now today my game keeps crashing every 30 minutes or so. On xbox X. Had no crashes happening until today

[woven nymph]

Hmpf... just been on my server and played for a bit. Then did something else for half an hour and now I am getting "Unknown Error" when trying to join. Aberration, Nitrado Server, with mods.

[willow crystal]

is there an network error? all of my servers dont show up... on some are players but the most of the other players dont see the servers

[woven nymph]

Restoring Backup from this morning now.

And now my server is gone

[smoky burrow]

same here, maybe related to server version 66.39?
I just saw one of the maps, now it's gone as well

[woven nymph]

I don't know what is happening at the moment but something is broken, my server now isn't showing up at all. Maybe problems at Nitrado?

[willow crystal]

someone tells me thats a problem with google-cloud but idk

[woven nymph]

Do people see their servers who have their own servers aside from nitrado?

[smoky burrow]

Not a Nitrado issue as far as I can judge - we're not there but facing the same

[willow crystal]

we host by ourself and no we dont see them online atm

[woven nymph]

Grmpf, I just wanted to setup my army for the Rockwell fight that we want to do on sunday

[smoky burrow]

From my point of view, it looks like either we're waiting for a update on their version-conflict recognition or &/ a client update....
Hopefully there's a fix for transfers soon as well

[willow crystal]

someone says that the travel problems are an problem with some mods and not from ark itself...

[smoky burrow]

Would make sense, then we need a fix from mod/API side, painful nonetheless

I just restarted a map, seeing it now for 2-3min and still...
Maybe temporary, but looks ok for now

[willow crystal]

something about globalactors and buffs but there is no more infos

[tribal berry]

When i search for servers it only display like 1 or 2 but i should find like 10 or idk what
Someone know why? I puted it as unoficial ect ect

[willow crystal]

its an issue atm, maybe network error

[tribal berry]

wdym? "its an issue" like for everybody?

[woven nymph]

My server is still gone

[smoky burrow]

restarting server side seems to help

[tribal berry]

still not working right ?

[waxen tiger]

am i missing anything why does the bionic god always reflecting my damages?

[woven nymph]

Mine is still gone. Restarting didn't help does it again

[smoky burrow]

I got 7/10 back at the moment, some refuse to get mods updated

now I'm seeing duplicates xD

[main depot]

Is it possible to change the timeout behaviour? At the moment (but it was like this before UE5.5) I can only travel with client crash. If I restart afterwards and want to connect to the target server, my session has to time out first. Unfortunately that takes a while... That wasn't the case at the very beginning of ASA - it was really great. Crash, down, up, in, play. Now this miserably long wait until the session is timed out ....

[woven nymph]

Okay. My players logging into my server (and me) are reporting geometric shapes all over Aberration. Giant gemoertic shapes with stretched texture over them. Anybody know this issue or had this before and know a fix? Did Aberration break on the new update?

[toxic hazel]

If still using that manager kick you player from the session

[main depot]

No manager - Nitrado. I don't see anything in the GUI.

But that's actually a good idea. How do I kick someone using rcon? Then I'll write an rcon script and kick myself that way 🙂

Ah, I can kick via Discord—but I always have to enter the eos ID manually. I'd rather use a script where it's already stored—start and kick 😉

Still, it would be nice if the timeout was as fast as it was in the beginning with ASA. That would be a relief for ASE. Crash, and you can get back on the server immediately.

Besides, only admins can kick you via rcon etc. We have non-admins too—how do they kill their sessions? A quick timeout would still be helpful...

[worthy finch]

Loaded my server for the first time in ages and I can't join because it's timing out, then stuck in an infinite restart loop. Why do I pay for this rubbish again?

@plush crystal automod didn't catch it

[plush crystal]

ty

[humble thicket]

No problem 🙂

[worthy finch]

Any advice for timing out and then stuck on infinite loop anyone?

[fading kindle]

restart the game?

[worthy finch]

Tried it, having to restart whenever it fails to join

[fading kindle]

wait a couple of minutes for the "time out" to finish on the server side, id say 3-5 minutes?

server needs to recongise you as "timed out" and disconnect your session

[worthy finch]

I should probably have specified it's timing out when it's connecting, so I'm not even getting in the server

Anyone now having issues with players/dinos dying of starvation while offline? Then it shows them in redwoods, doesnt show that they are dead, only until you fly near them, then the starved message shows in tribe chat? Problem is, the players were in tek pods, and the dinos had food.

Anybody else had issues with Aberration spawning in normal paras, raptors, and stegos instead of their aberrant versions? Never used to have that issue prior but now the game refuses to spawn in the correct version for the map on my unofficial server.

Not to mention Aberration's textures/lighting/spawns are still broken. Island has crisp, clean, fully loaded textures. But on Aberration everything is blurry, textures strobing/flickering like crazy in areas, and looks stuck on "low" for lots of various world textures and refuses to load them in even though I have the setting to Epic.

Anyone else having issues with AutoRun mod after the most recent server updates?

had that... seems to be a bug on xbox, just keep trying or you can use admin commands to cheat your way into the tribe

[humble thicket]

anybody got a fix for the servers being not shown under unofficial tab?

what is the mannequin admin command for bigger edits?

[wise kindle]

Latest version is 66.39

If you arent on this, stop the server, wait 5 minutes and start it again. It will pick up the update.

[fierce timber]

What I eventually found out for mine being grayed out and not joinable is that I had to disable the "Show player servers" checkmark server browser filter option and refresh. Then suddenly it's joinable again. But if you use the "shower player servers" option which used to work fine, you can't join your server sometimes.

Hopefully it gets fixed in the next update which is hopefully soon

So many issues with the game on this current build, lol

Hey, I got my own unofficial ASE server, and I was wondering why I couldn't kill unclaimed dinos?

[toxic vessel]

Hey everyone, I did some testing and I think I’ve narrowed down a flyer head-tracking issue
It seems this bug is only affecting the Argentavis and the Pteranodon. I tested this on Extinction (solo) with both tamed and wild creatures
Both Argys and Pteros do not look at the player, regardless of being tamed or wild, and the option "ally looking" is on
They don’t turn their heads when you move the camera or approach them

Then I spawned and tested other flyers, and all of them worked perfectly, no head tracking issues:

Wyvern

Rhyniognatha

Tapejara

Snow Owl

Pelagornis

Quetzalcoatlus

So this seems to be a specific bug affecting just Argentavis and Pteranodons

This only started happening after the 5.5 update, so I believe it’s a bug, not an intentional change

If anyone else can confirm this or test on their end, that would be awesome!

Ps: Only in Ark Ascended

[delicate fiber]

Yeah I forgot to filter the right map lol, thank you anyways

[ruby merlin]

anyone else having transfer problems on their nitrado cluster since update we cant transfer without crashing?

[full rain]

Anybody know of a good server host for evolved? Im using gportal but it crashes every half an hour and takes another 10 minutes to restart

[spice wyvern]

It’s a known issue that hasn’t been patched. Just load into the map you were transferring to when you bring your game back up

[humble thicket]

does anyone know the code for big maniquins walls ( for custom caves)

[fossil meadow]

Hi, can anyone help. I have a nitrado server for ASA on PS5 and I'm trying to get the mods to work on it. weirdly everything works when booted in single player but as soon as I add those mods to the server, it just disappears from the server list. Mods in question are loot grabber and der dino finder. TIA

[mossy cargo]

Yeah 90% of mods don’t work on servers currently

I put a thing up before which is helped a lot of server owners

This 👇🏻

I’ve been helping out server owners so I’ll put this below as this has helped them mostly and it’s been passed to other server owners etc

Helpful to servers info mods

• mods that generally use some form of vanila skeleton such as raptors etc 9/10 work

• most that use ui or custom ui input generally don’t work currently

• editing lighting on map to make it dimmer seems to help stability and some reason help get people in servers dunno why just does

• if having issues with cryos or depot (if depot doesn’t work ) use pelayoris cryo storage (as doesn’t use wild cards new cryo input method so cryos work affected and works better then most cryos ironically)

• most edit spawns made cause server not to restart unsure issue of this but something to be aware of

[fossil meadow]

Thanks, for replying. I guess I'll have to wait for them to get updated. Its amazing how quick you come to rely on those helper mods

[mossy cargo]

Some work as said just need find ones

Lemme see if I can pull up ones that work for me currently

Mods

• dragon kingdom
• indomitable duo
• chaos potions
• Feral Fauna: Majungasaurus
• Forgotten Fauna Continued: Monolophosaurus
• Pelayori's Cryo Storage (Crossplay!)
• [T.A.C] Antrodemus

Still looking into others but these are very stable for servers currently

[celest halo]

thats mostly a nitardo issue, removing trouble mods starting server and running cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart stop server install the trouble mods then start server fixes it for most, if its a mod that adds items make a backup before starting the server without the mod install then the upload the backup back before you start after adding the mods back

[fossil meadow]

thanks, will give that a try

[sand turret]

Yo can I join someone's server I'm bored

[deft lily]

Could someone tell me if this looks right?

start ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?SessionName="map name"?ServerPassword=password?AltSaveDirectoryName=TheIsland?MaxPlayers=30?ServerAdminPassword="admin password" -server -log -QueryPort=27015 -Port=7777 -ForceAllowCaveFlyers -usestore -BackupTransferPlayerDatas -converttostore -clusterID=personal name -clusterdiroverride="C:\personal name directory

[red juniper]

asa doesnt need query port, you can remove it, other than that, looks good

[celest halo]

?MaxPlayers= is wrong should be -WinLiveMaxPlayers= for ASA

yup why i used to tell everyone not to do it when WC made them commands public, easier to restore one person if you have good backups then roll back the full map and every player on it

[deft lily]

Just one thing if you don’t mind. How exactly does the -usestore -BackupTransferPlayerDatas -converttostore work? Everyone but my has a .profilebak

[fathom tinsel]

Anyone else seeing a ton of mods are invalid again? It looks like CF screwed up again.

Weak.

[red juniper]

every time someone logins or transfer to a server a profile file is create then on the next world save that profiles is baked into the game save

[celest halo]

nope but my servers not on Nitardo
