Hi im having an issue when i try to place a structure and i get a structure out of bounds message even though the structure is Green when being placed. The server is hosted off my own PC

[red juniper]

are building on a plattaform or something?

[gritty sluice]

building on a beach in mulitiple different locations with the same thing happening

[red juniper]

is it with modded structures or vanilla?

[gritty sluice]

vanilla on the ragnarok map

this whole beach doesnt allow me to place foundations .if i try to place a raft in the ocean it deletes the item from my inventory and doesnt place the raft

[red juniper]

same problem on other parts of the map? ragnarok is know having mesh issues atm

[gritty sluice]

same issue in other parts of the map no real reasoning for me to figure out why , i ve tried desert, mountains and plains which different results in each area. Wondering if its a setting in the ini files i dont have correct

[noble tide]

I am having an issue with my ark can someone hop into VC with me so I can explain it better

[red juniper]

in your gameusersetting.ini check this line TheMaxStructuresInRange=10500

[gritty sluice]

i changed that setting from the default 10500 to 99999

[red juniper]

before the issue started?

[gritty sluice]

after the issue started and after some googling reccommended i change that setting to see if it was limiting my building

ive also changed/added these lines OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=True
IgnoreLimitMaxStructuresInRangeTypeFlag=True
EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=False

bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=True in the game ini

could having bUseSingleplayerSettings set to false be causing this issue ?

i changed it from true to false when i was having issues with my maturation rate, i hadnt explored far enough to notice this building issue at the time so idk if it affected it

[red juniper]

i dont think so but if thats the only setting you modified before the issue started, try setting it to true

do you have mods installed?

[gritty sluice]

no mods installed ill change it back and restart the server and let you know if it worked. Thank you for the help so far

Changing it back to True didnt fix the issue

[stark egret]

Guys, please advise, I play the old arc, I want to go to the server on gen2, it says you dont own this dlc, although I bought and installed it. I can play only on local. How to fix? I already tried reinstal dlc.

[compact goblet]

Is it possible to add cakes to dodo loot pool without having the anniversary event active?

[gritty sluice]

I played a non dedicated private Ragnarok session and was able to build in the areas i couldnt on my Ragnarok dedicated server . would replacing the game.ini and gameusersettings ini. files on my dedicated server with the ones from my non dedicated session affect my tames and buildings ? do you think this would resolve the issue ?

[red juniper]

give it a try, its probably a setting conflicting or your ini file corrupted

[gritty sluice]

k ill give it a try

didnt work

[worthy roost]

Is there a way to disable the claiming of wild babies?

[red juniper]

that is so weird, not mods at all? no even the event mod?

[gritty sluice]

dont think the mod is on my server because i dont have it and im able to join without being prompted to get it

[red juniper]

you can disable wild babies

[red juniper]

are there other players in the serevr having the same issue?>

[gritty sluice]

only one other person and they had the same issues

[red juniper]

last thing i can think of is running a file validation

[gritty sluice]

i ran an update and validate and it went through with no issues

[red juniper]

check these 3 settings

PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true

AllowCaveBuildingPVE=true

EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=False

[gritty sluice]

the first two are missing from my game.ini and gameusersettings.ini i have the third one set to false. i added the first two and im gonna try and see if works now

thank you @red juniper

still not working . those settings go into the gameusersettings.ini under server settings right ?

[red juniper]

yeah gameusersetting

[gritty sluice]

i was able to place a foundation near a supply drop but im still getting structure out of bounds messages in other areas

[red juniper]

how do you host your server? with bash?

[gritty sluice]

i use steamcmd to host i on my personal PC . i launch it using a .bat file

[red juniper]

can you send a screenshot of your command line

[gritty sluice]

it wont let me post the screen shot in this channel. is there another channel i should use ?

start ArkAscendedServer.exe Ragnarok_WP?SessionName=PantsTest?ServerPassword=Pantstest?AltSaveDirectoryName=TheIsland?MaxPlayers=10?ServerAdminPassword="Pantstest" -server -log -QueryPort=27015 -Port=7777

thats the command line i use to start the server

[red juniper]

see nothing there that would prevent you from placeing structures

[gritty sluice]

yea idk what is causing this issue and why placing structures works on non dedicated but not on a dedicated server

[red juniper]

how big is your game save? do you mind sending it to me , i can deploy it in my test server

to see if its a corrupted game save

[gritty sluice]

how would i go about doing that ? just copy and send the ASA dedicated server folder ?

[red juniper]

yeah open your server folder , then go to this path

\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArks\Ragnarok_WP

and look for this file Ragnarok_WP.ark

[gritty sluice]

found it . best way get it to you is adding as freind and sending through dm ?

[red juniper]

yeah dm me,

[grizzled meteor]

did anyone else got the issue that carchars and gigas stopped spawning on ragnarok?

seems its like the summer bash event is active

[tight ivy]

Is there a way to edit in items you spawn with in beacon for singleplayer? So like I wanted to have tek binoculars on spawn, is that doable?

[clever dagger]

is there a way to stop Dino from going over 450 so it like official ether in nitrado or beacon people where use the propagator which allowed them to past the cap of 450 which is not good how can i change it to have a cap stat or level for my server?

[clever dagger]

i know but do i have to change anything in the settings so it doesn't happen when there breeding i just want the same as official stats wise

ok so that mean as well i will have to get rid of that mod that it come in right

well thats fun... i "disabled" Deinotherium from my servers this morning, and when i started them back up and logged in, my character won't stop deficating... wtf kind of weird bug is that?!

[cyan onyx]

What does it mean if it says "could not find spawn location for wyvern...destroying" in tribe log?

[last magnet]

yes, you just need to point Beacon to the ini files you want to edit. you can ask for more detail in th Beacon discord

[hasty fossil]

Quick question If I play ARK on my mac , can I join a friend who has windows?

[granite pendant]

I'm having problems with the club ark cluster. 1. I only see my club ark server in the start menu of the game and not at the tek transmitter. 2.I have to create a new character to join from the start menu. None of my winnings are transferable back to my other ark. I have all the launch arguments correct, along with the gus.ini file. Any suggestions on what to troubleshoot next? Thanks in advance!

[last magnet]

1. Expected behavior, Club Ark is only joinable via start/pause menu. 2. all characters are level 1, you cannot transfer inventory to club ark, so expected behavior. 3. you need to point Club Ark to the same clusterdata folder you use for your other servers in order to get your winnings (also same cluster ID) in order to transfer stuff from CA which shows up in the ob/tek transmitter (tek transmitter needs to be on) inventory

[granite pendant]

all my cluster id's are the same and directed to the same folder. Am i suppose to scrap my winnings at the scraper?

[last magnet]

are you not chcking the inventory at an ob when you return to your main server?

[granite pendant]

yes, of course. Not seeing it...?

[last magnet]

the only time I had issues was when I had my clusterdata in CA pointing to C drive and not F drive like the other servers (moved my ark cluster off the OS SSD to its own SSD). doublecheck the inventory decay isn't too low (I have set for 30 days in minutes) and that you have uploads & downloads enabled for transfers

[granite pendant]

ok, i have all the samethings done except moving my cluster file off c drive

[granite pendant]

im sorry, i miss read what u said. I do have all those cinfig the same.

[granite pendant]

so, so you have the same character on club ark as your other arks?

[last magnet]

if you mean it looks similar to my character on my other arks? thn yeah, I used the character creator just like when I first set up my character (used a saved preset) stats and inventory wise, no. it stays at level 1 but you keep the wardrob

[granite pendant]

@last magnet what about tribes? I create the same tribe im in on my other ark but when i leave the club, it kicks me from the tribe? if i create a new tribe will my winnings still be transferable? i have to ccreate a new tribe everytime i join the club.

[last magnet]

standard behavior, and yeah as long as it has the same name, it'll work (sinc eyou hav to make a tribe to play a few of the games)

[granite pendant]

i had already been up for hours troubleshooting, but now with a fresh set of eyes and a lil validation from my research and findings, hopefully i can get it to transfer my winnings today!🤞

@last magnet Thanks! I appreciate you helping me out!

[last magnet]

Welcome! I find that if something is annoying me computer wise, it is best to turn it off and try again the next day (i had issues a few with my servers so I just shut them off and went to bed)

Wrong chat

[knotty coyote]

which mod some mods has ini u can change for it to not breed over 450

[plush karma]

And you guys know how this unofficial server is actually work like I'm trying to figure out the harvest and experience rate on my server and they're not the same as single player or official. So I don't know how to find the default so I can add from there

[knotty coyote]

harvest rates and ex rate its in the ini

[plush karma]

I know that, but what is the default value of one? Is it smaller than single player or official? I'm new to the server thing

[knotty coyote]

default is 1 like official servers if u want small tribes xp and harvest would be 4.5

[plush karma]

Okay that's what I was asking. What about taming? Do you know? Because 4.5 is what I have for taming. But it still takes like 70 kibbles that's exaggerating. It's like six or seven

[elder plover]

this might help https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Single_Player

[plush karma]

Oh I don't want a set it as single player

[knotty coyote]

taming is 4.5 on smalls i normally just putting taming on x10 and make the wild dinos hunger go down faster

every 50 food they loose they eat kibble or mutton etc so if that drains faster quicker taming

[elder plover]

oh sorry thought thats what you wanted to emulate or compare it to

[plush karma]

Okay, thank you for the help You guys have a good day

[knotty coyote]

also look at passive taming u can lower it for faster taming stuff that are passive

[plush karma]

Oh, I did not know that. I didn't know the two different taming methods were adjustable

Thanks

[somber orbit]

Hey can someone help me?
I'm trying to change some .ini configs of the 'Custom Dino Levels' mod in my GameUserSettings.ini
But there is not a single line about the mod in the .ini .
Do I just add them configs to my .ini ?
Or where do I find that

If it matters I have a nitrado server and adjust the stuff through the webinterface

[toxic hazel]

You just add them in, check the mods description for any ini stuff if it needs config

[somber orbit]

Thank you

Does it matter 'where' I add them in? Or can it be just inbetween other setting rows?

[toxic hazel]

I know C dino Levels do infact tell you lease in their description

Genreally just at the bottom

[somber orbit]

Ok perfect

Thank you a lot

[toxic hazel]

Space between sections

[somber orbit]

This just confused me because there is no [CustomDinoLevels] line

Oh cant send pics

[toxic hazel]

? there wont be in the ini till you add it

Remeber, read the mod desciption, it is all there

[somber orbit]

Here is what the description of the mod says:

Where do they go?

They go in the GameUserSettings.ini file. Navigate to where your ARK files are located and go to ARK > ShooterGame > Saved > Config > Windows to find that file. When you open that file, locate the section called [CustomLevelDistrib]. The ini options (which you should already see three of them by default) go under this section.

That confused me, but adding them helps a lot, it drove me crazy searching for it

[toxic hazel]

'You can copy and paste these into your own ini file to have the mod start working'

Read it lol

[toxic hazel]

This is AFTER you add it

[somber orbit]

The "(which you should already see three of them by default)" confused me

[somber orbit]

Ohhhhh

[toxic hazel]

You wanted to read the one above that

Which tells you to add it in

[somber orbit]

See and thats why an idiot like me can't get that shit done 😂

Now I learned something
Thank you

[toxic hazel]

Think that one you quoted is regarding the actual file

Which you would have already hehehe

[subtle gyro]

my self hosted server has decided to stop showing up in the server list

im not sure how to proceed

[subtle gyro]

disableing firewall on server pc results in no fix

attempting to direct connecto to server using the ip itself in the command terminal in game does not work and results ina host connection timeout

[subtle gyro]

nvm my port forwarding just borked itself

[grizzled meteor]

does anyone else have the issue that ragnarok does not spawn gigas or carchars with the summer bash mod enabled?

or in other words, did anyone see a giga or carch on ragnarok selfhosted server in the last 10 days?

[brisk wyvern]

Only seen 1 carch and 1 giga on rag

But this was through nitrado server hosting

[fathom tinsel]

That was about to be my suggestion. If you can see it local but not remote its probably port forwarding.

[tepid berry]

...server update?

But no patch notes?

Nvm there's the notes 😄

[trim yew]

having some issues with transferring items to another server on the cluster. it wont let me transfer items, they wont even drag over to the item area at the obelisk. server settings are not preventing them from what I can see

[slender sage]

Is anyone else seeing constant Megalodon overspawns on Rag Unofficial? We can't travel 10 feet without getting absolutely mobbed

[grizzled meteor]

yea, they broak something with the spawns in general I think

[slender sage]

I mean ...endless fish meat for the tames and trophies for the Tribe Tower. But it's slowing down the ocean taming and travel lol

[flint oasis]

Okay I upodated my server and now it is yellow all in the terminal I cannot turn it on like that I never have yellow

[ruby dew]

why my nitrado cant starft the server just updating like 30min?

[clever dagger]

propagator

[tepid tangle]

Does anyone knows the command to spawn an ovis?

I have been like 4hours looking for one and i failed haha

[clever dagger]

use google.com

[hybrid sorrel]

O/ if i host a server via nitrado will it be crossplay with all other forms of the game including gamepass?

[knotty coyote]

check for ini for the mod on curse forge

[haughty mica]

Whats happening with servers rn?

[barren scarab]

Does anyone know what would cause the deathworms to not spawn in the tunnels leading to the Ice Queen on Rag? I've dino wiped, restarted, fully updated, triple checked the configs... not a single one has spawned since the map was released for us, but I see other people have them.

There's the bears at the start of the tunnels, then nothing until the Ice Queen.

[half trout]

Anyone else having the issue when using any cryo mods the inventory glitches out for characters/dinos/structures/etc.?

[haughty monolith]

im having problems with bever dams spawning. this is ark evolved not essended. single player ofc. i allready wiped dinos and turn up recource spawn rate

i need alot of cementing paste badly soo anything will help 😭 🙏

[gentle niche]

Anyone know what configs could affect world boss spawning? Thanatos is not spawning for me on Astraeos =/

[solid trail]

hi can someone help me im trying to join my friends server but it say unable to query server info what should i do?

[frail ember]

Does anyone know what this issue is?

It’s saying my server is on Day 0 and on the wrong map, and that I need permissions? I’m running the server through Nitrado and it’s been working fine for about a month.
I have the required online multiplayer and the server subscription already paid for.

[stuck ocean]

yes. Lost all my blueprints last night from it

[lapis lava]

okay so I just bought an ASA server and I puted player slots to 16 and when I finished buying it it told me I bought evolved and when I looked at chaning game then I saw that I need at least 20 slots for that

[inner thicket]

anyone been having issues with dedicated storages since saturday? seems mine on unofficial wont let me withdraw from it, and when i use the pull function from a mod it just resets the total count to 1800

so far the only soultion is to pick up the dedi and replace it, that works until the server resets and then i have to do it again

[mint pine]

Anyone know what would cause frequent Items duping when transferring maps? Like its armor, items, consumables. Stack sizes match across the maps. If its an incomplete Stack, whenever we transfer the stacks just fill up.

[long sonnet]

need heIp with asm

[sick knot]

this may or may not be helpful to you but i was able to download my creatures by spawning one in first. worked with the velos and snow owl so far.

[thin tendon]

Question: IF my friend is on xbox and im playing on windows (not on steam) how does one join the other's non dedicated session? (copied and pasted since no one cared to help)

hi can someone help me im trying to join my friends server but it say unable to query server info what should i do?

[jolly palm]

Hello i am having trouble setting up mods on my server

i keep getting

Invalid BufferCount=0 while reading ../../../ShooterGame/Content/Mods/2200048898.mod. Pos=1180658797, Size=61, PrecacheSize=2147483647, PrecacheOffset=1180658797

any ideas why this might be?

[lapis lava]

I just opened my ASA server and I cant find it in unofficial is that normal or does it need some time

it also has password and yes I had passowrd protected servers on

[gritty sluice]

when i first launched my server i put the name in the search bar and it didnt show in the list that it filtered i had to press enter for it to find it . i also had to check the show player servers in the bottom right

[knotty coyote]

u need to port forward if u cannot find it

[lapis lava]

its alright I figured it out but thanks for replying anyway

[knotty coyote]

happy gaming

[lapis lava]

you too

[lapis lava]

actually I have one more question how do I update mods on my server or does it do it by itself

[knotty coyote]

should do it automatically

[lapis lava]

oh great

are you sure?

[knotty coyote]

well mine does but i use a manager

[lapis lava]

do I need to as well

[knotty coyote]

Yes, dedicated servers for ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) automatically update mods when new versions are available

[lapis lava]

mine is unofficial

[knotty coyote]

what google say and i only use a manager much easier to manage settings add mods etc and a dedicated server is unoffcial lol

[lapis lava]

what manager is this

[knotty coyote]

ASAM

[lapis lava]

I'll check it thank you agein

do you have any tips I should know

I opened this server just an hour ago

[knotty coyote]

well depends on what u want on the server i like X5 rates makes grinding easier also learn how to ini for mods coz alot of them have hidden settings u can tweak

[lapis lava]

my rates are all on default except breeding and I have a lot of creature mods

[knotty coyote]

try cyber structures its like the old s+ mod

also u can disable the need for cryofridge like it was in ase

[rigid compass]

Quick question my friends join the server but I cant seem to find it anymore how do I fix it

[red juniper]

check your filters, such map, pvp or pve, password protected or not

im having problems with bever dams spawning. this is ark evolved not essended. single player ofc. i allready wiped dinos and turn up recource spawn rate

[haughty badger]

anyone figure out a setting to get bison milk to stack?

[dim plank]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=25,bIgnoreMultiplier=True))

Replace mutton with bison milk id

goes in game.ini

[haughty badger]

i tried that using "PrimalItemConsumable_BisonMilk_C" for the ID, and using "/Game/ASA/Bison/PrimalItemConsumable_BisonMilk.PrimalItemConsumable_BisonMilk_C" but it still wont stack.
Did you get it to work?

[brave nebula]

[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=1.000000
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0
This is what i put for the actual multipliers

[dim plank]

Haven't tried but it should work

[brave nebula]

and i also have custom dino levels which looks like

[CustomLevelDistrib]
MinLevel=1.000000
MaxLevel=30.000000
WantsEqualLevels=False
WantsRagLevels=False
WantsHighLevels=True

[haughty badger]

i have other codes in there that are working just fine, but for some reason the bison milk just wont cooperate

[dim plank]

Looking into it it seems a poor choice of blueprint pathing by wildcard borks it

[haughty badger]

what do you mean?

[dim plank]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/772569-change-the-blueprintpath-of-bison-milk/

[haughty badger]

interesting

[rigid compass]

I tried everything still nothing

[brave nebula]

It just randomly decided to fix itself once o made it so nothing under lvl 50 can spawn

[native wave]

have perfectly working servers now...client, not so much

[pulsar otter]

anyone having issues seeing/finding unofficial servers?

[half trout]

Servers are now messed up again

[pulsar otter]

yup

[half trout]

Well in the meantime does anyone have any clue why a players inventory got COMPLETELY deleted? Everyone elses was fine but theirs is just gone

[last iris]

@half trout we have this too sometimes but if player relogging then the inventory comes back... if thats not the case then something is really really broken somehow. Cannot say if this is an issue in general but seems like mostly happening on console version of the game due to slower sync time to the server or so im not sure. PC players dont have this issue as far as i am aware of.

[half trout]

Yeah i know about the inventory glitch thats been happening to everyone but like, this guy genuinely just lost everything he had😭 and i cannot figure it out. We have a mod that backs up everyone’s inventory. And everyone else had theirs but his just didnt exist. Its very confusing. But thank you for taking the time to respond.

[last iris]

No problem. Bad for him sadly... maybe you can do something and restore his inventory at some point. Good luck on that :3

[half trout]

Lol i just ended up replacing it, as he knew what he lost thankfully. But definitely does suck. Im hoping its not a common problem

[last iris]

I hope that too. This isnt fun if you have good stuff on you and cryoed dinos in inventory one of you best and then... gone....

[haughty monolith]

how much scuba gear is required to go in the swamp cave

[toxic hazel]

Don't sound setup related to me xD

[still thunder]

did you find any solution to the problem? i'm having the same issue

[vital shadow]

yes it was my processor that is too old. the thing is i run a 2990WX 32 core cpu. hte thing is with this cpu it only has 2 numa CCD's (16 cores connected directly to ram)

Thus if the server is set to use CCD3/4 that accesses ram via amd's infinity fabric would make these huge hang moments, as this is a lenghy process

the fix was go into vmware, and put core affinity on, so i could lock it down to use the numa cores, that fixed my issue

[vital shadow]

what cpu do you use?

[still thunder]

7950X3D

[vital shadow]

is it all maps or only rag?

[still thunder]

all maps but especially rag

[vital shadow]

for me it was only rag.

all maps on same machine?

[still thunder]

yep on the same machine

[vital shadow]

do you have any hypervisor something like hyper v or vsphere?

[still thunder]

nope it's just running windows server

[vital shadow]

are you setting any core affinity for the maps?

[still thunder]

yes 4 threads per map

[vital shadow]

so you running all 7 maps?

[vital shadow]

• mod maps?

[still thunder]

8 maps total all 7 wc maps + svartalfheim

[vital shadow]

and the issue comes when GC has been triggered?

[still thunder]

exactly server ping spikes and people are having rubberbanding issues

[vital shadow]

strange.. how many GB of ram?

[still thunder]

128

[vital shadow]

unlike me i dont think yours is a ram issue.

dual channel / quad channel?

[still thunder]

not sure it's a rented server probably dual channel with 4 DIMMs used

[vital shadow]

a vps?

[still thunder]

nah dedicated hardware no virtualization

[vital shadow]

well, this is not the same issue as mine, same syntom not same issue i guess

[bitter lily]

In my case it was a mod corruption problem. I tried verifying game files and there was something broken that could’ve be fixed until I uninstalled all mods, restarted my system and then restarted it. Just uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t help as there was the mod cache that was still corrupted.

[carmine pelican]

[echo stone]

Hey Folks, I have a pve crossplay cluster, with ragnarok...well ragnarok has been acting strange.
Anyone having any of these issues at all? or close too it on ragnarok?

• Storages (including vanilla) vanishing
• Weird deaths ( like one example to the world border? That was no where near where they were)
• Dropped items meshing or vanishing immediately
• Even small bases making people crash
• Random crazy ping like over 1000 ping
• Lots of ppl blue screening constantly even in wide open spaces, no bases near
• Blue ob area is major crash zone from like Viking bay to blue ob and ecspecially around 18/24 (lava golem cave)

I also have a pvp map unlinked to my pve, and that ragnarok map is running just fine
Except blue ob area, and the golem cave... its a major crash zone there too.

This is becoming increasingly frustrating 😦

[lapis lava]

how do I update mods on my server(I bought it from nitrado)

[toxic hazel]

Just booting your server updates them

[lapis lava]

am just doing that and it doesnt do that

is it because I have a passoword

[rapid kelp]

Mods are updated on each specific device, not the server as a whole, to my understanding

If your mod isn’t updating, try reinstalling

[alpine mountain]

The mods on the server itself are supposed to auto update whenever the server turns on or is restarted.

Every individual player also needs to install mods and mod updates on their own devices. On console, the mods that need updating auto update when attempting to log in to a server. I would assume the same thing happens for PC players

[fast barn]

is there a way to disable player lvl for the gene scanner of bob tales dlc for servers with higher dinos lvls then normal

[jade nebula]

Anyone have advise for recruiting players? I have a few but would like to grow a lot more, thanks

[jade nebula]

Beacon application is your best friend

[fast barn]

i dont run the server just trying to find a answer so i can maybe tell them

[jade nebula]

You can do it in the ini but it can be complex, beacon app for managing server makes life easy.

[fast barn]

ill look more into it

[jade nebula]

Basically you set the specific engram to have a level req to 0 with a line of code in the ini

[solid nexus]

I keep on getting error on my ps5 while I play on Ragnarok why ? Pls help

It’s making me mad

[fast barn]

so you mean like 0 is disabling the player max lvl to search for dinos higher lvl

[glad harbor]

Ik it been happening to me too

I am able to transfer, but when I load into the server I have transferred to, my character is stuck, the base does not load in, and all the icons (food, water, weight, etc.) on the right hand side are flashing. I then have to log out, and relog onto that server that I had transferred to. I am playing on console.

[barren ridge]

It’s a problem for everyone… been like this since UE 5.5 upgrade

[celest halo]

ark and consoles dont mix well

[grizzled meteor]

anyway to prevent hundrets of dinos beeing stuck in the mesh on ragnarok? like almost all tusos and like birds flying below the mesh... or can we just get a fix for the map?

[loud forge]

yes, if i understand, other ".bat" with another name (for the map and for the name's server)

but, i must create in the .bat a "-clusterid" ?

like evolved

and can we create "AltSaveDirectoryName" ? for save maps's cluster in files

[naive quarry]

Anyone know the spawn container for Griffins on Ragnarok? The ASE one doesn't work on ASA, so I'm looking for the Ascended version

[molten shuttle]

Are you not able to download Dreadnoughtus on Ragnorok?

CrossArk is set to true, but it just goes to the bottom of the creature download list. No error displayed.

[copper leaf]

Is this happening where you’re running the other maps at the same time, or uploading, changing the map, and then downloading?

I hope that makes sense.

I plan on creating dedicated servers for myself so I can have two to three maps running concurrently to transfer back and forth between, but don’t know if I’ll run into the same issues.

[indigo fable]

i need help my t rex is stuck in the floor and i don t know the comand to tp it to me

[wintry raft]

I have multiple maps going at the same time. So no uploading/downloading of character needed

[whole zinc]

is anybody having server connection issues with their unofficial servers?

[copper leaf]

Interesting. Good to know that can happen. Sorry I can’t help, but glad to know it’s something to keep an eye out for prior to making my cluster

[jade nebula]

Server not showing after restart, any ideas?

[mortal inlet]

There was an update earlier today, make sure it updated?

[jade nebula]

server is v68.17

[vital sable]

Does anyone know what I need to place in the GUS so that everyone in the server can see others custom skins on them?

[somber quartz]

Can someone help me with dynamic config?

I have set up an apache server with the .ini file hosted locally
I can see the contents of the file when I browse to http://localhost/settings.ini

And I have configured the server to use dynamicconfig and have set the dynamicconfigurl in the settings.

But the server will still not use the settings from the dynamic config

[somber quartz]

nvm got it working by adding the url to startup arguments

[hardy gazelle]

Any ideas as to why the "IgnorePVPMountedWeaponryRestriction=True" is not working for my servers?
It was enabled by default and I cannot use any weapons on any of the banned creatures across my entire cluster.

[mortal inlet]

Im not seeing that line in the server config wiki, or anywhere online.. you sure its a valid line to add?

Maybe modded ig?

[queen current]

Is there an on going issue in the Ark ascended for Xbox users unable to connect to the server?

[versed dust]

I can't download my ice wyvern or bison onto my scorched earth server does anyone know how to fix this

[loud forge]

What is the command to put in the .bat to connect the different servers (.bat) together for a cluster? I currently have 6 servers (with different maps) that work separately but they are not in a cluster. In my .bat files, I have put -clusterid="sameMDP"

[toxic hazel]

Without the quote marks but yes, you may also need a custom cluster pathh too

[loud forge]

Yes yes, without the quote marks, but didn't walk

What is a custom cluster pathh

[toxic hazel]

So you couldnt see the servers in the Obs?

[toxic hazel]

The path used for the files to move into and to the next server

[loud forge]

No 🤷🏻‍♂️

I heard about the ClusterDirOverride command, is there a connection? (and what is it for)

[toxic hazel]

That is the one, I just told you what it is for xD

-ClusterDirOverride=

[atomic adder]

Did they ever fix or add in the ability to broadcast through RCON>?

[loud forge]

At first, I put the command AltSaveDirectoryName= but seeing that it does not work (the files are placed in "SavedArks" in folders with the name of the maps automatically) I removed it

[toxic hazel]

Correct, that is for map saves not cluster data

[loud forge]

Oh okey 😂, so i must add -clusterdiroverride= but what should I put after the =, can you give me an example?

[toxic hazel]

A file path to a folder of any name in any location

I keep mine with my cluster, Make sure to quote this one xD

Buuut if you cant see the servers in the Obs then this will be ID related not Path related

Something that may affect it showing are if the server name is to long and cant see the differences between them (They need to be different names or some variation)

[loud forge]

Okay, so for example, I create a file called "cluster" in server/ShooterGame , and in the cluster file, I create, for my part, 6 files (for the 6 maps that I have to link). Finally in the .bat, I match 1 map to a file...

[loud forge]

Okey thx

[toxic hazel]

Id advise NOT putting in your server folder and out them

1 folder that they ALL point to

[loud forge]

or I cheat on it and I just have to create the cluster file that I link to all my .bat files

[loud forge]

Oh okey

why not put this file in the "server"?

[toxic hazel]

Its not a file lol

A file path to a folder of any name in any location

I say not inside a server folder as it will have extra steps to move around the data (I feel anyway)

[loud forge]

Yes folder, 😂 sry
Hum okey

[vital shadow]

dude virtualizations sems to be the way forward, asa server favors the first 4 cores on the system. so right now try vmware or hyper v one map per vm, also what os are you using? windows 11 or windows server ??

[toxic hazel]

So I have a cluster of servers in one folder like C:\Cluster\Servers, I got my Cluster Data folder inside the cluster folder

[toxic hazel]

The manager I got you can use core selection per server

[vital shadow]

same do mine. but whenever rag runs on any other core than 0-4 i get periodically lag when garbage collection is triggered

[toxic hazel]

Ahh mine no problem really

[vital shadow]

also my cpu only have 2/4 numa ccd's so also slow when not running on the 2 first ccd's

[vital shadow]

what setup are you running?

[toxic hazel]

Ahh you know, a server, some cores, dont forget some ram too!

[vital shadow]

lol 🤣

i just wanted to know what to upgrade to 😛

[modest night]

Is anyone else having an issue with Forglar map not showing ?

[rapid kelp]

Is there a way to link Nitrado to my discord? With start, restart and shutdown commands?

Second question, is there a bot to link the in game chat to my discord that you guys recommend ?

[rancid drum]

Helena

[solid nexus]

My game keeps giving a error even when I’m busy with decor 💀💀💀and when I fly ?? What is going on

[rancid drum]

Anyone got good damage settings for a 1000x fibercraft with max level dinos kinda don't want the tames to be to op

[wintry raft]

Question about killing babies for XP: I run an unofficial server for my family and close friends. I have it set up as a PVE server with friendly fire enabled. I am able to kill claimed baby Dino’s with my character but cannot kill them with the Dino I am riding. Do I have to make it a PVP server to fix this? Or is there a way to be able to kill those babies? Like do I turn off friendly fire, unclaim thr baby, and then kill them with the Dino that way?

[mortal inlet]

look up ark rcon, there are a few options, some of them outdated

[mortal inlet]

warning to change that clusterid immediately and never post the id in a public channel again, posting that allows anyone else to connect to your servers.

[celest halo]

You can connect to there server anyway it will show in the server list 🤣

[calm solar]

Yall does anyone here know when your server isn’t starting and it’s saying system failure overflow? Cuz that’s what’s happening and idk if the server is gone like the saves aren’t showing up

[jagged garnet]

Lol, im running on a 2950x with 128gb (4x32gb) dual channel at 1600mhz and im running island, SE, center, Ab, ex, club, rag, astreos. Lately I've been experiencing some lag but haven't checked to see if it coincides with garbage collection so ill double check that. I believe my lag is coming from ram since im only using 4 sticks of dual channel and im sitting at 90+ gb utilization. I've ordered some quad channel to slot in so ill be upgrading to 8x32gb quad channel and liquid cooling them to run closer to 3000mhz. If I still see any lag after its a game issue. My utilization on every other metric is under 20% and my temps stay below 40c.

[unique berry]

what server hosting sites are good and reliable? for ark ase

[hardy gazelle]

It’s supposed to be the setting to enable weapons and tools while riding rhyniognatha, rock drakes, megalanias, and ravagers in pvp. The change to drakes, megalanias, and ravagers came with the summer bash update last week. They have the config listed in the patch notes. The change was made to the rhynio a while ago and I didn’t know there was a setting until this update.
Patch notes for v68.5
It’s 20 bullet points down under “gameplay changes, balance & qol”

[untold leaf]

does the i rex spawn on rag

[vital shadow]

Dude if you have 4 32GB ram stick in already is most likely already running quad channel

[vital shadow]

dual/quad channel is not detirmined by the ram kit. you can order 2 kits with 2 sticks each and still utilize quad channel, you might be burning money :/

[celest halo]

depends on the MB most use 2 dimm slots per channel

[vital shadow]

yes but threadripper supports quad channel.

[jagged garnet]

Incorrect. Dual channel and quad channel are huge differences. And yes the threadripper supports quad. The 4 sticks i have right now are as I stated dual channel consumer grade.

[celest halo]

my CPU supports quad also, my MB still does 2 dimm slots per channel, so to fully use quad you need 8 ram sticks

[vital shadow]

aint you thinking of ranking??

[jagged garnet]

Your cpu, mobo, and the chips all have to be designed with quad channel in mind in or it cannot utilize all lanes simultaneously. The easiest way to see the difference is the price tag. Its 2x+ the cost for quad channel and the availability is borderline non existent (trust me im struggling to aquire another 4x32gb 3600mhz of the same make) im not sure what you are referring to by "ranking"

[vital shadow]

yes, CPU, and mobo, but the mobo will achieve quad channel if you populate all 4 dimms (given all the dims are same size and speed settings)

[jagged garnet]

The dimms themselves also need to be designed for quad channel utilization.

[vital shadow]

incorrect

[jagged garnet]

Enlighten me. I'd love to be able to return my $450 of ram that is from manufacturer advertised and designed for it. I'd love for it to be a gimmick that im not to late to get out of.

[vital shadow]

RAM sticks themselves are not inherently "designed" for quad-channel. Quad-channel refers to the motherboard and CPU's ability to utilize four memory channels simultaneously, and any compatible RAM sticks can be used in that configuration if the system supports it. While some memory kits are sold as "quad-channel kits," this simply means the manufacturer has validated those sticks to work together for that specific configuration. You can install a "quad-channel kit" on a dual-channel motherboard, and it will likely operate in dual-channel mode.

as long as 4 sticks are installed and cpu/mobo support it should so quad channel

so yes it is a gimmick 🙂

[jagged garnet]

Mofo, I literally stopped just before the part that quite clearly states "memory advertised as quad channel typical refers to a set of 4 matching dimms"... thank for this you have saved me plenty of time and some money and shame on gskill for making it have a separate part number...

You have in fact enlightened me and I shall pass this knowledge to everyone who will listen. I retract my earlier statement and concede you the point.

[vital shadow]

no problem 🙂

[delicate sage]

You can theoretically mix matched pairs, they will just all run at the weakest link. Now, triple channel is actually triple channel, but ain’t nobody still running that.

[vital shadow]

yes, but in my exp it causes issue, so i dont like it 🙂

[jagged garnet]

You degrade stability when you do it but yes t ou are right. I gave my old pc to my brother only to find him running 4 dif dimms, of 4 dif makes, with 4 dif capacities, at 4 dif speeds....

[delicate sage]

Well, if it’s what you have. Sometimes RAM is better than not enough RAM lol.

Gosh though? 450 for RAM?

[vital shadow]

with the 2950x you atleast does not have the numa issue u ran into

with mine 2990WX only 2 out of 4 CCDs have direct access to ram, so the other 2 CCDs need acces via infinity fabric which gives latency

[vital shadow]

but do you use virtualization? vmware hyper-v proxmox?

[delicate sage]

You running Ark servers on that Threadripper?

[vital shadow]

yes

and a ton of other shit, but yes

[delicate sage]

Jealous

I use a 12700K for 5 servers. They’re not loaded. But I like the idea of all those cores.

[vital shadow]

running vphere 8U3 on it, i like virutalization.

12700k has a fairly high clockspeed?

[delicate sage]

Yes, mostly because was under the impression server liked high clocks, but it literally just idles even with a few people logged on.

[vital shadow]

yea, game server tend to like higher core clocks over cores

due to game logic usally cannot run on multiple cores.... yet...

[delicate sage]

It’s mostly just RAM constrained. I stuck with a DDR4 mobo so I could load it up with 128GB.

[vital shadow]

well, i do not need ram. 256GB....

[delicate sage]

What’s the max for the Threadripper?

[vital shadow]

clock speed or?

[delicate sage]

Supported RAM

[vital shadow]

128 thay say. buuuut that was before 64GB dimms existed 😛

[delicate sage]

Wouldn’t it be better to run containerized versions of the programs vs having the overhead of separate VMs?

[vital shadow]

nope, as a single machine typically have issue with the amount of power when you reach 24 cores, its actually better. 🙂

the issue is scheduling with the amount of hardware

ooh

i misunderstood the question

in vms we usally have a term balloning, makes some vms lose ram when others are in dire need, so does not make much of a difference imo

[delicate sage]

I think what you said is right. People do say windows scheduling is not good.

[vital shadow]

but you meant ram?

[delicate sage]

Well, I suppose hardware virtualization in general.

[vital shadow]

well containers is a sub version of vms, just smaller. i have a hard time seeing it with with ark, unless you switch to linux, and im not very keen on that.

[delicate sage]

WSL works nice, but I think Ark servers is specifically Windows only.

[vital shadow]

you use wsl with ark servers?

i would love you hear how that works

[delicate sage]

Noper, SteamCMD will work in Linux, but the server application is windows specific.

[vital shadow]

well shit.

[delicate sage]

The game binaries are Win64

[vital shadow]

but to return on topic, i see a performance advantage for me to use vms with ark servers. currently 2 vms 3 maps on 1, 4 on the second.

[delicate sage]

Oh two VMs not so bad.

I thought originally to hypervisor 5 separate VMs, but didn’t thing maybe could do 2 on one and 3 on another.

Windows seems to do ok for scheduling the 5. It’s nice cause I just made a bat file that updates then launches all 5 at startup.

And I don’t have to fool with it. But I run local AI from same machine too. If the servers were ever loaded and LM Studio kicked in it would probably cause some lag lol.

[vital shadow]

its due to my cpus numa issue, 1 vm with access to 2 CCD's confuses windows on how to communicate with ram, and sometimes makes lag.

[delicate sage]

I just do it to learn though.

[vital shadow]

so 1 vm per CCD, makes scheduling faster and thus eliminates hangs.

[delicate sage]

Ah I see. I think for the 12700k the concern is having things on the “little” cores when they should be on “big” cores.

[vital shadow]

yea, that could be an issue, but i think devs made a arg to force performance cores?

[delicate sage]

I haven’t had an issue TBH. It would be fine to have the server on a little when it’s idling.

With ASE you used to be able to set affinity with Ark Manager

[hardy river]

My Asa server just reset to day 1

ridiculous

[vital shadow]

you still can

there one out there.

its just paid.

[delicate sage]

Yeah, I was too cheap. With a little .bat file magic you don’t really need the manager though.

And knowing how steamCMD works.

[jagged garnet]

I don't use either, my unit been raw dogging ark for like 8yrs now.

[vital shadow]

hows the extend of the issue you are having?

[vital shadow]

exactly

[dire tartan]

I just rented a ASA server from Nitrado and nothing works, ive waited about an hour or more and still the game is pretty broken, nothing shows up in the crafting menu, implant doesnt always show up, and I cant harvest anything

[vital shadow]

that sounds rough.. but also nitrado suck imo

[dire tartan]

last time I rented from them everything went smoothly

this time nothing works

and I highly doubt it is because of the mods since last time I used pretty much the same mods

[jagged garnet]

Since adding rag, when rag has higher pop on it there will be an occasional rubberband thats definitely hardware hitching. Cpu rarely gets above 30% but ram is constant 80% and after you mentioned the garbage collection im gunna have to see if that coincides. Otherwise im just gunna double my ram and see if that helps xD

[vital shadow]

do you use affinity?

[jagged garnet]

I have all servers set real time.

Using WGSM

[vital shadow]

only rag or all maps?

[jagged garnet]

Tbh I think only rag, or atleast i have only gotten reports from rag.

[vital shadow]

heres a somthing that worked for me..

let rag sit on core on the first 4 cores, 1-4 and see if that helps.

[jagged garnet]

Will do, ill set it and see if its all good. I'll set it back to real-time once I upgrade the ram aswell and compare how it does with 256gb on cores 1-4 vs all cores.

[vital shadow]

i dont think its a ram issue as all my maps are running on 95GB, but dosent hurt to try i guess

[jagged garnet]

My thought process is more along the line of a frequency/rate problem with ram. Even if you have the memory capacity your bottlenecked by your frequency. So if i double my capacity via slotting 4 more dimms to share the load I should cut the data traffic through each chip in half.

[mortal inlet]

where did you put it? might be command line or might be game.ini

[jagged garnet]

I'll also be water blocking my memory so I can push it from 1600mhz towards the 3k stability threshold

[hardy gazelle]

It’s in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] which is where I’d seen it should go
I guess I can put it in the Game.ini and see if anything changes.
It’s just annoying!

[vital shadow]

but didnt you have 4 dimms plugged in already?

[tranquil kelp]

hey, can anyone help me please. im trying to enable tribute transfers on my cluster and it's not working. i've already set the gui to what i thought it was supposed to. NoTributeDownloads=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadItems=False
PreventDownloadDinos=False
PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventUploadDinos=False

[fathom tinsel]

From what I have read is that you need a mod?

[tranquil kelp]

the mods i find are super cheesy and potentially wipe our current element and tributes.

[fathom tinsel]

Look for modID 938827 on curseforge

[pure haven]

Notributedownloads have nothing to do with actual tributes. If set to true it just prevent crossark transfers

[tranquil kelp]

this specific one is the one that was reported to have wiped all element and tributes from someone's cluster.

[pure haven]

You need plugins or mods for elementa and tribute transfers

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, i would run backups before installing any new mod but just a few minutes of searching shows that without a mod you cannot transfer tributes/element.

[pure haven]

Use mods that do not replace original element/tributes with custom ones

Like random configs or easy transferrable element. Or even better set up a plugin that do that

[tranquil kelp]

well im not well versed in making a plugin.

[queen crow]

Hey, that's what I'm running for the five servers that are actively running atm. Well, I guess mine is a 12700KF. But still...

[fathom tinsel]

I don't have a huge player base but the game is ram hungry like mad. I find that is a constraint depending on how many people you have activly playing a map.

[queen crow]

Well, I am running 64GB of ddr5 ram so it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. I also run a couple of evolved servers as well as use the same machine to play on.

[fathom tinsel]

I have a homelab with a bunch of nodes in a VM cluster. Some of the nodes are pretty low on ram and still have to run other services so I have to move things around sometimes. Ill probably upgrade them all with nodes that can do at least 64gb/each in the future when some stuff is cheap enough.

[delicate sage]

I don’t really use the iGpu, but it’s useful sometimes.

Apparently the UHD770 is a decent encoder.

[queen crow]

I'm running a Zotac gaming 3060 OC w/12GB

[oak spoke]

The ultra spyglass can’t be added straight off of Nitrado right? Was kinda wanting to implement it but I’m having trouble.

[stone merlin]

hey all setting up a new server for the first time any pointers

[loud forge]

Yes of course 😂

It was not my password, its an example. Thx for all !

[pearl needle]

yall, im running an ark server on asa and its come to my attention that gigas and carch's arent spawning any loot. it is currently impossible to get giga hearts.
(as far as im aware, I can get every other boss summon item.)

ive looked this up and have been unable to find a solution. 👎
(asa dedicated server)

[outer bolt]

I’m editing the stats on my Nitrado server, if I want wild dinos to get knocked out faster, is this the right code?
DinoWildBaseStatMultiplier[2]=0.25

[potent arrow]

I'm hosting a SE server with the ingame dedicated server software for XBox/Windows. However I've been encountering an issue where the host account becomes unjoinable from the friends list and the server list after 30mins - a few hours after rebooting the server. Any ideas? Could this be tied to the Xbox multi-player issues. It manefested about a week ago.

The issue has persisted across 3 different internet networks, 2 different computers, and fresh ark install.

The server remain up after it becomes unjoinable. Connected players are not disconnected.

[hybrid sorrel]

Trying to host a ASA server via nitrado - but i cannot find my server anywhere even tho it is saying its up?

[haughty ether]

If the server name is not displayed on the Nitrado dashboard then it is not fully up and could be in a restart loop.
Stop the server. Leave it for 5-10 minutes.
Ensure it is stopped.
(You can enable short cuts and use shift K to force stop it , this ensures it is stopped)
Then go to back up save points in your general and choose your previous save point.
Hit save.
Reboot. It should show.

If the name of the server is displayed on your Nitrado dashboard then you do not have the correct search parameters set to look for your server .

[fathom tinsel]

Also, if you have any mods that are not crossplatform and have crossplatform enabled the server will never start and won't give you a useful error.

[haughty ether]

Nitrado servers don’t display steam only mods with cross platform selected and it also pops up a warning.
(Last time I checked anyway)

[fathom tinsel]

Good to know. I self-host so I have no experience with their UI.

[fierce timber]

Anybody else's gas collectors on Ab not actually prevent the aoe poisonous gas cloud in vicinity around the node as if there were no gas collector placed there even when there is?

Thought it was the fault of the CS version, but the base game's version also does it so I think it's just broken by default on WC's end.

[quartz knot]

Where do you guys go to make the cute artwork for your discord pages and server ads

[viral sand]

any idea why my server is laggy theres 1 person on server and no tames

[outer bolt]

Make sure you rented the server in the right location. I’m in America and it tried to set me up with a server located in Germany.

[viral sand]

its been working fine for a month and just started. Tried restarting and shutting down. maybe its one of the mods

[outer bolt]

That could be I’ve limited myself to nine mods anything more seems to lag the server

[elfin arrow]

Does someone know the line of code to add more slots in the library storage ?

[haughty ether]

Canva app for me

[rapid kelp]

How would I increase the amount of stats gained per level on a Nitrado server? I can’t seem to find the option or the code in the ini file

Also how would I increase stack sizes? I’m hoping to have resources at around 1000-2000?

[mortal inlet]

Go to ark wiki . gg, search server configuration, ctrl+f search stacksize, and then ctrl+f search stats.

[ashen berry]

is there a way to tell if you

your server is connectable for sure? My friend cant seem to find it

[mortal inlet]

Hosted or selfhosted?

[ashen berry]

Selfhosted using the server manager

I seem to be able to join fine, but I imagine thats due to it being on my local network lmao

[mortal inlet]

Could use port checker

Otherwise best way is maybe discord video call, check their filters, make sure everythings up to date, and drop by the server config wiki and double check you did everything

[ashen berry]

it was working about a month ago, trying a port checker though

[mortal inlet]

Would also say maybe steam direct connect but ive heard it doesnt work for ASA so..

[ashen berry]

we're on SE tbf, is this a ASA only server? I couldn't find the proper channel

hmm an online port checker seems to show they're closed

maybe its because its not running tbf

[mortal inlet]

Nope. There are channels specific to asa, but help channels are for both, just need to specify sometimes :]

Turning it on may help troubleshoot Lol

[ashen berry]

yeah its on now haha

do you run a server by chance?

[mortal inlet]

I do. Just private ones.

[ashen berry]

ah I meant can you confirm if the first link under portchecker shows 7777 open for you?

might be a weird thing with my isp

[mortal inlet]

Dm it ill take a look later, heading to bed soon unfortunately

Usually portchecker works pretty well though. Whatever it says

[ashen berry]

mmmm okay, yeah it must not be properly portforwarded then

thanks

[mortal inlet]

Was closed^ for anyone elses reference

[strange cairn]

I need help, it doesn't let me place triangle foundations or ceilings on ASE Rag

I use GPortal

I've went through all configuration files and found nothing

[ashen berry]

Idk I redid all the ports just now and it still isn't hitting. Think the site might be a dud ngl 😭

gonna run it all day when I come home from work and see if it shows on battlemetrics

if anyone has ragnarok installed and can give checking if it shows for them a shot lmk! Don't really need to play or anything, just see if it shows for you

[celest halo]

Port checker not going to work most only check TCP not UDP

[celest halo]

Port checkers don't work at all for UDP ports 🤣

[ashen berry]

Yeah did seem somewhat faulty. Nitrado was able to find it in his steam server list so hard to say what the problem is

Hopefully getting a friend to download the game later to see if they can connect fully 😂

[delicate sage]

What ports did you forward?

Well, you don’t have to tell me. But make sure you forward port and port adjacent. So if you use default port 7777 make sure you also open port 7778.

[ashen berry]

I did 7777 7778 and 27015

[delicate sage]

Sounds good. And you opened TCP and UDP (Both).

[ashen berry]

Yeah both

The server’s up now if you wanna see it. Its called “Jean’s plink”

Ragnarok

Im gonna try getting them to favorite it and see if they can join through there, I didnt know you could do that, i do know it wasnt naturally showing for them in the steam server list tho

[delicate sage]

Battlemetrics shows it’s up.

I’m curious if they had one of the magic boxes at the bottom unchecked. Make sure they are showing all maps, have passworded server selected (if you have a passworded server), and show player servers.

[strange cairn]

.

[ashen berry]

Ill have them double check tonight thanks

[idle drum]

Anyone know why I'm not able to join a ark fibercraft server through battlemetrics ?

[dusty jay]

I am having issues with my cluster regarding Lag. I have done some testing now and it appears to only occur on Rag and Astra when using the combined 28 mods we have on our cluster. The strange thing is i tested every mod 1 by 1 and none of them reproduce this issue alone, but when they are installed together poof we got lag walls. I've 100% checked my servers resources no where near capping anything, its not my internet ran ping tests and speed tests, reinstalled all mods, and now been trying to identify which ones are causing it. Another thing to add is that the combined 28 mods dont cause lag on the main story line maps. Any idea what could be causing this or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I am completely frustrated at this point spent 5 hours trying to find this issue yesterday no luck.

[celest halo]

You doing any checks client side rag and Astros uses more ram client side for me then the story maps

[dusty jay]

this issue is persistant for 30+ people

hardware is 100% not a problem. My personal pc has 64gb of ram, server has 128gb of ram, CPUs are 18 and 24 cores on both rigs

currently only using 16% cpu and 64% memory on the server

the pc running the game has 27% cpu used and less then 50% ram usage atm

logged into astra as well

Try having them open the console at the main menu and enter "ark.useserverlist 0" that will remove the default list "filter" that seems to prioritize nitrado servers. Doing that command usually fixes the "invisible" server issue. Or atleast it fixed it for my peeps.

[ashen berry]

Ill give this a try thanks!

Its for survival evolved right?

[willow geyser]

I managed to start my server and everything, it appears in the server list but the build is —.— and i cannot connect, only way around this is to use the Ark.UseServerList 0 command, and then I can connect.

I’ve installed the r2m02.crl certificate, I also deleted and regenerated the GameUserSettings.ini and build version is 68.17, can anyone help?

XBox Users do NOT have this issue and can join without problem, only PC has this issue.

[tepid depot]

Anyone else seeing a lack of giga/carch as well as titanosaur spawns on Rag? I have several additional dino mods, additions, Paleo, s-dinos, so I will do a scan now and again to make sure things are spawning as expected. After a dino wipe none of those three spawned back in. For a couple of days and a couple of wipes half a day apart to see if it got any to spawn. Before that I'd see 2-4 giga/carch on the map and usually a titanosaur. So I assume within the last week spawns for them broke during an update. Maybe when they fixed the bison spawns and added gigantoraptor and the rhynio.

[toxic hazel]

When it appears is it like greyed out? this is the horrible new fav system and should just need to refresh if so

[delicate sage]

That’s one I struggle with. Since I have connected to the servers atleast once and favorited, they show on the list but are always greyed out until I click on the specific server and hit refresh. Then it lights up and I can join as usual.

[willow geyser]

yea it’s grayed out and build is —.— and i cannot join, only way to join is using the UseServerList 0 command and then refresh then and only then does it say build 68.17 and i can connect without issue

[toxic hazel]

You shouldnt need the command to refresh and just click on it then click refresh

It a horrible system but its normal

[willow geyser]

yea but needing to use the command everytime is annoying and we cant get other non friends into the server because it’s not publicly broadcasted without the command, were trying to grow the server more

xbox can join just fine without issue

[toxic hazel]

If you needing the command to get it refresh I have no idea why

Refresh should get it normally

[delicate sage]

The old Ark server list was pretty bad lol. Used to you’d have to wait a whole day for a server to show up after init.

[willow geyser]

refreshing keeps it the same way it is until i run the command and refresh then i can join

[toxic hazel]

Still doesnt change I got nothing else for you xD

[willow geyser]

oh really? my evolved server work fine, immediately showed up the second it booted

[toxic hazel]

Yeha ASE had no issues for me too

[delicate sage]

Well, sometimes when I hit refresh one of my other server will come up instead, so I hit refresh until the one I need lights up.

[toxic hazel]

Are they the same server names?

Very likely why

[willow geyser]

this is dumb asf 😭 i want the server to get active, but that’s not gonna happen if you need to use the command

[delicate sage]

No.

[toxic hazel]

Because people dont know lol

[delicate sage]

Try to look them up and see. There are 5. Search Shinma.

Shinma’s Astraeos etc

[toxic hazel]

What your server called? I'll look, im on steam

[willow geyser]

exactly my point, ark wiki said installing the r2m02 certificate would make it show up normally but that didn’t do anything

[toxic hazel]

Yeah, the easier way is installing epic games launcher

I see all your servers not grreyed out

[willow geyser]

would that might help? i just want it to show up normally so i can connect without hassle

[willow geyser]

could you check mine? it’s named Alone In The Woods

[toxic hazel]

You can try

[toxic hazel]

Sorry I found yours no issue haha

[toxic hazel]

I may have accidently dm'd you showing you the other guys servers hahaha

[willow geyser]

no worries

[delicate sage]

I like to run 5 empty servers cause I don’t have friends, but I like the idea of maybe having friends.

[toxic hazel]

Basically everyone here isnt it xD

[delicate sage]

Imagine Ark players for friends lol.

[ashen berry]

This is the way

[jagged garnet]

Ahhh, negative. For ASE I always had to have people go to steam -> servers -> add favorite and add them by IP:port and then launch ark and they appear in your faves after that. It was a struggle to get them to show on the public listings.

[ashen berry]

I couldn’t immediately find the add favorite button, is it under the favorites tab?

This is probably the way

[jagged garnet]

Lol I had a 12 map ASE cluster and now I have 8 map ASA cluster and im giddy like a child when I see 5 people on. I have a $10k unit i built and dumped hundreds of hours into rewriting loot tables, balancing spawns, xp, and overall balancing the game to be progression focused and challenging while keeping the grind and time sink low.... for all 7 of my player.

[jagged garnet]

One sec, let me rcon my pc and see if i can pull up my old guide I would post for my community that went through it. If not I can send you screenshots with scribbles to show you so you can send to whoever. No garuntee this is your issue cause ark is ark but hopefully it is.

[ashen berry]

Thanks habib

Appreciate that

[jagged garnet]

I do have the text instructions still if you don't mind me DMing it to you. Its a small paragraph but it got most people through it. If your IP is static then people will only have to do it once if its dynamic (changes) they just gotta do it again when it changes.

If anyone else is having the same issue I can paste the instructions in here, it helped a bunch of people back in the day even if you arent technology inclined.

[ashen berry]

Yeah i dont mind dms, whatever is easier for you

I think i do have a dynamic one, hard to say though haha

[jagged garnet]

I sent you it, including the part about the IP changing so you can just copy paste it to your friends.

[ashen berry]

Ah i just saw it cheers

[coarse summit]

ok i need somebodys help, im trying to make an ark server with steamcmd and i dont know if im doing it right, if anyone has knowledge of how to do this please help me out

[lapis lava]

is there something I can enable on nitrado to automaticlly udpate my server when a mod gets an update or do I need some external program

[gritty sluice]

i used steamcmd to setup my server . whats up ?

[coarse summit]

im at the part where i have to make thje start server bat, and i dont know what to put for port or port query

[gritty sluice]

-Queryport=27015 -Port=7777 is what i have in my start bat

[strange cairn]

What is the code to remove teleporters and Cloner?

[gritty sluice]

start ArkAscendedServer.exe Ragnarok_WP?SessionName="name"?ServerPassword="Password"?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArks?MaxPlayers=10?ServerAdminPassword="AdminPassword" -server -log -QueryPort=27015 -Port=7777. This is my start bat file @coarse summit

[coarse summit]

does it matter what the numbers are for them?

[gritty sluice]

those are the default ones . i think as long as they match up in your router and firewall settings you should be fine but im not 100% sure since i didnt change mine

[coarse summit]

alright ill try it

[strange cairn]

Can someone help?

[coarse summit]

@gritty sluice i did that but it just opens a tab on my screen really fast and then closes it

[gritty sluice]

where are you saving the bat file ?

[coarse summit]

in the ark server folder in steam cmd

but i didn’t go to wf.msc before all this, was i supposed to?

cause even if i do i don’t know what to do in it, ports are really confusing

[gritty sluice]

that bat i saved in the binaries folder. F:\Steam CMD\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended Dedicated Server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64

[coarse summit]

that’s where i put it

when you click on it what happens for you?

[gritty sluice]

a cmd window opens and starts creating lines

[coarse summit]

mine just opens for a millisecond then closes :/

did you do anything in wf.msc

[gritty sluice]

i didnt ive only added the .bat and update .bat

changed some lines in the game.ini and gameusersettings ini for ingame options

[coarse summit]

is there something wrong with this? Port=7777?QueryPort=27015

[gritty sluice]

they look fine can you copy your bat file start up line and paste it. change the passwords and session name

[coarse summit]

start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?listen?SessionName=name?ServerPassword=pass?ServerAdminPassword=<adm>?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20
exit

[gritty sluice]

remove exit and change shootergameserver.exe to Arkascendedserver.exe

[coarse summit]

im on ark survival evolved

[gritty sluice]

oh ok

[coarse summit]

do i do ArkEGSLauncher.exe then?

[amber egret]

[upper current]

i need some help i have been trying to join modded servers but my mods download gets stuck at 88% i tried basically everything to fix it any ideas

[coarse summit]

alrighty, let me know if anything works, mines still not working even though i forwarded the ports

[wide ice]

couple of members in our server have a glitch that makes our inventories invisible after interacting with random structure inventories. anyone else have this problem?

[gritty sluice]

wyatt you still here? @coarse summit

[fathom tinsel]

I have not seen this but we don't have a lot of people on our servers. Do you have mods like a stacking mod or something? It could be two mods not interacting with each other well.

[potent arrow]

I'm hosting a SE server with the ingame dedicated server software for XBox/Windows. However I've been encountering an issue where the host account becomes unjoinable from the friends list and the server list after 30mins - a few hours after rebooting the server. Any ideas? Could this be tied to the Xbox multi-player issues. It manefested about a week ago.The issue has persisted across 3 different internet networks, 2 different computers, and fresh ark install.The server remain up after it becomes unjoinable. Connected players are not disconnected.

[lapis lava]

does anyone know why is when I start updating mod on my server it just skips the dowload and joins the server

[brisk halo]

I'm trying to disable sleeping bags on my nitrado server, any one know what the ini command is to remove them? Is there a website that's updated with asa ini codes and names?

[untold granite]

my friend on my cluster is getting the refreshing ark inventory screen bug whenever he goes into his inventory... any help or fixes?

[fathom tinsel]

From what I am reading, it is not possible to disable sleeping bags without a mod. You would need to add a mod that will allow you to disable them.

[brisk halo]

Thank you.

[fathom tinsel]

For anyone with the inventory bugs. There is a server update.
v68.24 - Minor version for Unofficial Servers only - 07/11/2025

[strange cairn]

How do I make it so color dyes are craftable with fiber on ASE?

[queen crow]

@coarse summit If you're still having issues, you could always try Ark Server Manager. I couldn't figure out how to make the steamCMD start ASE, either. Using ASM is way easier. imho

[coarse summit]

@gritty sluice im just gonna make my friend do it lol

thank you though

[granite garden]

hey so the game is 200 gb, nowhere near what i remember, when i remove all dlc its 120, i heard u can get it down to 66gb, any idea how?

[quaint pilot]

Is there an INI that makes specific items non transferrable?

[gritty sluice]

ok no prob .

[wide ice]

my server is updated to 68.24. does that mean the 'optional' update is live for me or is there something i have to do to turn it on

[nocturne shard]

How do I do an optional update on my nitrado server?

[gloomy yew]

ice worms are still not spawning on our unoffcial server on Rag can anything be done about this ?

[uncut wolf]

is there possibly a list of spawn entries for the new ragnarok ASA?

I'm tryin to spawn some dinos in but.. it isn't working and I am wondering if I'm doing something wrong or using the old ASE entries

[gritty sluice]

what are you trying to spawn in ?

[uncut wolf]

i have 3 dinos that cant seem to spawn.. despite the code being right - at least i think so.

Snow Owl, Rock Drake, and the cat.

I managed to get armadoggo to spawn properly - but thats the only one.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="Ragnarok_DinoSpawnEntries_Cave_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RockDrake",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawn=("RockDrake_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="RockDrake_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

ok so the cat is working too - just not the rock drake and owl.

[uncut wolf]

any idea? 😦

[gritty sluice]

im looking at the server configuration page now but it looks like you have it all correct idk why it isnt working

[uncut wolf]

the only thing i can guess is that the spawn entries is the old ones?

[uncut wolf]

Anyone else have any ideas?

or know any other rag spawnentries i can try to put them in 😦

[gritty sluice]

sorry ive been trying to get them to spawn on my non dedicated session but i havent been having any luck

[uncut wolf]

im about to try

[rigid shell]

Does anyone know how to resolve the connection lost and time expired error? Pc steam

[native quest]

Got it to work like this: . Needed to remove the word String from NPCSpawnEntries and NPCClass and provide the full blueprint path (look up spawn commands, they usually reference it, then add _C at the end.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="SE_DinoSpawnEntriesWyvernTrench_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="VolcanoMoleRat",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Aberration/Dinos/MoleRat/MoleRat_Character_BP.MoleRat_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnlimits=((NPCClass="MoleRat_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))

this spawned molerats at the volcano. be aware of the weights and max percentage. I haven't figured a good value out yet, everything I add seems to overspawn. currently using 0.08 for weight and 0.015 for percentage.

[warm coyote]

Hi, did anybody know if they change the name of loot Containers of Astral Dinos? Astral Rex and Astral Megalodon didn't even work atm. At Nekartus Astraeos loot table list isn't any change...

[uncut wolf]

so how would i rewrite that.. to include rock drakes and snow owls? sorry im new to game.inis

[native quest]

Unfortunately I can't put links in here but if you google "ASA creature ids" there is a website called arkids . net which has the IDs and spawn commands for each creature. you can filter it by DLC.

[uncut wolf]

I tried the code and it doesnt seem to have worked 😦

i used the creature IDs - it looks similar to yours.. idk what i did wrong

[prisma yoke]

how does this server work can i advert in here?

[dim kestrel]

how do i turn on unlock crafting stations? because im on my server im hosting and want to let anyone who joins it to have a spot to craft their stuff from

[neon pollen]

The default is to not allow all structures to lock in the first place. If your crafting stations don’t have an Unlock/Lock option, then they are already unlocked and can’t be locked. If you want it how it works on official PvE, then put ForceAllStructureLocking=True in Gus.ini. Then you will have the Unlock/lock option on everything

[summer finch]

Is there any particular reason I cannot collect any resources of any kind within my own ark server?

[feral fable]

Anyone else having problems getting back into a save world?

[neon pollen]

Are your harvest rates set to 0 or something?

[summer finch]

No they are not. In fact I had changed it back to 1, to see if it fixed anything.

[neon pollen]

Weird. Never had that one before

[summer finch]

It seems to be an inventory glitch, or something. My friend had something similar happen, and he couldn’t see any resource in his inventory

I even changed the map to the center

Nothing

[native quest]

Can you post your code in here?

Hey, anyone else on unofficial having no ice worms spawning in rag ice cave?

[queen crow]

If I knew where exactly the ice cave was at, I'd go and check.

[blazing perch]

Hi, i have a question. Is legal to sell lootboxes in no official servers without any type of licence, the dont have anyone, by real money? Cause im thinking bout to buy it but i red that WC dont support this

Dm me pls with info

[iron radish]

Has anyone been able to fix their babies dying (starving) when in stasis? I tried adding the -stasiskeepcontrollers option in the commandline for dedicated server, but the server just crashes when it tries to advertise to join. I don't have any offline raid protection enabled as far as I know

[severe breach]

When it comes to removing mods from a server I have people tell me that it damages and corrupts server files.

How credible is this

[iron radish]

I haven't had any issues with my cluster, but I don't add and remove mods very much. Be sure to follow any instructions given by the mod when removing it.

[severe breach]

There is no installation or removal instructions on any of the mods I have

[iron radish]

Word

[queen crow]

I don't have Ice worms, but I do have Ice Titans. Does that count? lol

[jagged garnet]

What? How? XD

[queen crow]

I guess it's the ark descended mod that I'm running?

You should come and check it out.

[jagged garnet]

Lol that makes sense.

[atomic locust]

I have a question. We run an unofficial server PC, and Admin plays on that PC, I join and play from PS5. Worked fine until 5.5 update, when now when PC player logs off (server is left running), I get kicked from PS5 (time out error) after a minute or so after PC Admin has logged off. This never happened before 5.5. We have tested turning Firewall off, opened ports, and other things, but nothing so far has worked. Does anyone know if there is anything else we can check or fix to prevent me on PS5 from getting kicked? 🤷‍♀️

[worthy roost]

Can I change the spawn rate of a specific creature in the ini?

[neon pollen]

Yes. It's easiest to use Beacon for stuff like this.

[nova stump]

Is there something specific a server needs to do to apply this “optional” unofficial update or is it as simple as a restart? We are nitrado hosted and use beacon if that makes any difference

[neon pollen]

I was wondering the same thing. There's nothing I can find that really explains what "Optional" means in the context of the patch. No mention of a start parameter, or ini setting I can find anywhere

[nova stump]

Our server needs the update but yeah not sure how to apply it 🤔

[neon pollen]

My guess would be just schedule update and reboot. I self-host and wrote my own auto-update script, so mine just got applied right after it dropped. Can't help much with Nitrado stuff

[celest halo]

its not really optional for nitrado people seeing how nitrado does a check for updates on server restart and it will install it

[gritty sluice]

did you ever get this to work?

[worthy roost]

I do but on ASA it doesn’t seem to work pretty much at all

Idk maybe I’m doing something wrong

[uncut wolf]

no 😦

[gritty sluice]

i think the line you posted was missing _C after BP in the NPCStoSpawn= line and you need to remove the word string from NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_MonkeyIsland_C" to match opawili's lines

i tried it with the rockdrake but havent had any success yet

[uncut wolf]

so remove the word string ok ill try that.

[copper leaf]

Does ark server creation tool automatically add in cluster information to the ini settings?

[gritty sluice]

you been adding it to the game.ini or gameusersettings.ini ?

[uncut wolf]

game.ini

its weird cus this code i have works -

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_LostIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Cat",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawn=("CAT_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="CAT_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

and they are spawning?

[gritty sluice]

i believe cats have spawns already written in for ragnarok

i see them on my saves and ive never added the lines for them

[celest halo]

cat do have a spwan on rag default

[uncut wolf]

armadoggo is working too though and they dont have a spawn

[gritty sluice]

can i see your armadoggo line ?

[uncut wolf]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Scotland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Armadoggo",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Packs/Wasteland/Dinos/Doggo/Doggo_Character_BP.Doggo_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="Doggo_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.0)))

[gritty sluice]

the _C is missing from the spawn string for your rockdrak and owl lines but not this armadoggo one

[gritty grove]

I host through Nitrado, i have the the Refreshing Ark Inventory issue and i have seen others ask how to fix and someone posted the patch note, how can i update my server? It says optional yet i dont see an option on the Nitrado web interface for my server, can a mod or someone with actual help give me some help on this?

[gritty sluice]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowPlains_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Owl",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Owl/Owl_Character_BP.Owl_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnlimits=((NPCClass="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5))) @uncut wolf i think its supposed to look like that , im gonna try it out now

[queen crow]

It should automatically update on a server restart. I don't know if the web interface has an option to stop/update/restart your server, but that is how you apply the update.

[eternal lake]

Anyone found the command for dragon hoard keys? Trying to help out with keys that get consumed with no chest spawning at location. 😮‍💨

@uncut wolf maddi i got it working on my non dedicated save for rock drakes

[uncut wolf]

with that code? 😮

[gritty sluice]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Center_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RockDrakeSpawner",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Aberration/Dinos/RockDrake/RockDrake_Character_BP.RockDrake_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="RockDrake_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=1.00))) is the line i used in my game.in right under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] to spawn them around the waterfall area in center of map

[uncut wolf]

ty!

What about the snow owls? how do i fix those

[gritty sluice]

can post your owl code again so i dont have to scroll up ?😂

[uncut wolf]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowPlains_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Owl",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Owl/Owl_Character_BP.Owl_Character_BP"))),NPCSpawnlimits=((NPCClass="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))

ty for helping ;; its been 3 days of me tryin

[gritty sluice]

no prob im interested in getting new dinos on my ragnarok save too. im trying the owl code before i post it

[gritty sluice]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowPlains_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Owl",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Owl/Owl_Character_BP.Owl_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnlimits=((NPCClass="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5)))
@uncut wolf

[uncut wolf]

ty!! 😄

[gritty sluice]

you might want to change the MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5))) i set it to 1.0 and they are alot so maybe mess with and adjust to your liking

do the same for the rock drake one aswell

[gritty sluice]

your welcome

[uncut wolf]

also can you tell me where on the map these spawn - im rather new to the spawnentries

[gritty sluice]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_SnowPlains_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Owl",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Owl/Owl_Character_BP.Owl_Character_BP👉 _C👈 "))),NPCSpawnlimits=((NPCClass="Owl_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5))) this is the only thing i noticed missing from your previous codes @uncut wolf

[viral sand]

Does anyone know the mod to add resource nodes to the map?

[rough pelican]

yoo who knows how to fix ark ascended running with bad looking graphics even tho everything is set to high and ultra

[grizzled meteor]

is it only my server or why is ragnarok so broken, specially under water, tons of tusos spawn below the mesh, untamable.. and if you want to tame something like a mosa it gets stuck in the mesh so you can not access it, because the pathfinding always leads them to swim into rock walls.. if you swim into mushroom cave water animals just insta die because there are like random land pockets.. or there is a random stone in the water which kills your angler if you swim close to it..
@wildcard please patchie for the meshing underwater dinos....
or is there any server settings to prevent this?

[gritty sluice]

rock drakes are in that waterfall area around Lat: 39.22 lon 43.41 and snow owls are in the large snowy region SE , from lat 36.97 lon 56.73 to lat 38.81 lon 58.31 @uncut wolf

[uncut wolf]

ty!

[gritty sluice]

yw. please let me that its working

[uncut wolf]

i will once i finish this tame im gonna restart 😄

[gritty sluice]

ok sounds good im gonna hop on another game so i may be slow with my replies

[uncut wolf]

ty again

[native quest]

If its work, let me know what weights you used, cant figure out what to use to not overspawn stuff

[copper leaf]

With ark server creation tool, I have cluster id set in the launch arguments for each of my servers.

Do I need to also add the cluster id information to my gameusersettings.ini?

[gritty sluice]

do you change the weight or percentage to change how much spawns ?

[queen crow]

Don't forget that you'll need a cluster path set so that the game knows where to temp store transfer info.

I don't think it actually goes in your gus.ini

[copper leaf]

Yeah they’re all in a singular parent folder with the path set in the launch arguments. I was just concerned that the id was supposed to be the Gus ini.

But I’d just asked in the ASCT discord also and the developer said they didn’t need to be if they were in the launch arguments. So with that covered, I’m gonna start the console connection testing

[queen crow]

Good luck!

[copper leaf]

Thanks! Pretty stoked!

[queen crow]

As was I the first time I got a server up and running.

[unreal island]

Hello ! Does anyone know about AsaApi or plugins ? Maybe you do @fickle basin

[fickle basin]

Yes, what do you want to know?

[unreal island]

possible in mp

[fickle basin]

Yes

[tepid shadow]

If I’m wanting to do an unofficial server just for me and my girlfriend so I just have to rent a server off nitro

[gritty sluice]

are you both on playstation ?

[gleaming merlin]

Is there an issue im not aware of when running a Svartalfheim server? I cant seem to get it to boot while my other servers boot fine

[neon pollen]

No. You can run on a spare PC. Ascended?

[drowsy arrow]

Is having to download mods every time we switch maps on our cluster normal? or is there a way so people dont have to do that?

[jade gate]

Is there any way to increase spawn rate of Alphas serverside?
Finding them to be ridiculously rare on Ragnarok

[flint token]

🔸So all the Ovis/Sheep on my unofficial Ragnarok ASA server are spawning in but only spawn maybe 30ish Ovis and i want to know how to get them to spawn in all over the map.
Is it possible to get a mod for this? If there is a command line for ini files might be the other option. I just dont know what line (command) would be

[uncut wolf]

it worked!! 😄

now.. to just edit the amount lol

[gritty sluice]

were you able to find the spawn entries page on ark.wiki.gg? comparing the weights on the dinos in the regions you chose could help @uncut wolf

[gritty sluice]

you try adding command lines to the game.ini for ovis to spawn in other locations that they dont already spawn in

[flint token]

Yeah I tried adding one but I believe i didn't add it correctly. I double checked i didn't miss spell it and or add anything extra but I don't think I fully understand it to be perfectly honest.

[fierce karma]

I need help with ark survival ascended extinction I installed it on my Xbox one and when I opened ark and tried to play extinction single player it wouldn't let me

[gritty sluice]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString= "Region",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Name",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("Dino blueprint path "))),NPCSpawnlimits=((NPCClass="Entity ID",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.5))) you would need to change Region, Name(i think you should use different names for each spawner ex ovis 1 ovis 2 etc) Blueprint dino path and the Entity ID @flint token

im pretty new to this aswell so someone else might have a better idea

[fierce karma]

Does anyone know how to fix my problem? So when I try to load ark extinction on single player it won't let me it just stays on the screen but whenever I press anyother one it let's me?

[rapid kelp]

If I’m trying to increase stats per level, does it matter where on the ini files I put the code? Like does it have to be before or after a certain line?

[gritty sluice]

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] should be under here in the game.ini im not sure it needs to be before or after any specific other line

[rapid kelp]

I think I’m beginning to understand it all now… thanks mate

[quiet shale]

Does anyone know why a server is crashing every 2 hours? Its a PC ASE server if that makes any difference.

[rapid kelp]

2 hours on the dot? Do you have an automated command/task running?

[quiet shale]

2 hours then it becomes unjoinable, 10 minutes after that it boots everyone from the server and doesnt allow joining. Server gets shut down then is launched again for 2 hours. No auto command or tasks.

[rapid kelp]

It almost sounds like it’s auto restarting every 2 hours? Odd if you haven’t put that on, has it always been that way? Or just started recently ?

[quiet shale]

It started about 2 weeks ago suddenly. Nothing on the PC changed prior to this happening. Its not supposed to restart every 2 hours, we do not have it setup for that.

[rapid kelp]

I would check server logs for error messages, it could be a mod conflict…

Double check you haven’t implemented (accidentally) a timed auto restart, god knows I’ve done similar

Could also be a stability issue, you may need to contact your server provider

[mighty walrus]

hello everyone. Does anyone know if all the mods are working again or just the ones that are updated?

[quiet shale]

No mods are installed on the PC.

We will check that in a moment but are sure that none are setup that way.

We host the server on our PC in home.

We do Microsoft/Windows server if that changes anything.

Also where would you check Logs on Microsoft/Windows version of game? The Logs are not in the spot they should be in.

[rapid kelp]

Look in the following locations for scripts:
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

I’m not too sure if I’m honest, I host off Nitrado

[quiet shale]

I appreciate the help regardless. Thank you.

[rapid kelp]

Sorry I couldn’t be more help, this is about as far as my knowledge goes

[fathom tinsel]

If the server is on PC, I suggest shutting down the server, deleting the sub folder under "mods" and then starting it again to force the server to re-download all mods.

Also, if a mod is "pc only" and you have crossplay enabled the server will refuse to start and won't give a good error message as to why.

Let me know if you need the path to the mod's folder. Its kind of long.

[quiet shale]

No scripts running. We are stumped. It worked great on Crystal Isles and Lost Island. This problem started when we went to Ragnorok. We were on Ragnorok for 1 week before this problem started. PC comes back clean every time.

[mighty walrus]

no problems with mods im just only running mods that say they have been updated post UE5 update. thanks tho. i run off nitrado .... crossplat

[fathom tinsel]

Yeah, ok. Not sure then. I don't currently have a RAG server but a lot of people have been posting problmes with rag over the last week-ish.

Unless you have some specific error messages or something o.0

[mighty walrus]

No thank you. but no problem i was just asking if mods that are not updated post UE5 update will work on a server. I am trying to aviod problems lol. thanks tho

[spice wyvern]

I wouldn’t add any mods that haven’t been updated since UE 5.5 release to a Nitrado server. That could break your game and you’ll spend hours trying to figure out why

[mighty walrus]

thanks .... I wish these mods would get updated already. there are some really great mods that havnt been updated and its kinda sad. my cluster is a little diffent with out these mods thats for sure

[spice wyvern]

How many mods you guys rockin?

[mighty walrus]

I have 4 main mods at the moment. SE and the Island have that cool dragon mod. Dragon kingdom. that was added by request

[tepid shadow]

Yes PlayStation

[quiet shale]

Im just refreshing this post to see if I can get some more help than what was given as I have been unsuccessful in finding the problem.

[queen crow]

It may be like that if starting a server with a .bat file. I'm running a cross-ark server that has PC-only and crossplay mods that starts just fine using a server manager.

In fact, Xbox is able to play on it as well.

[gritty sluice]

i dont play ase but i can try to help. howd you setup the server ? steamcmd ? howd you change from crystal isles and lost island to ragnarok ? adjust the map on a .bat ?

[quiet shale]

Bought Game on a Host account, then launched game from the PC desktop. Its a Microsoft/Winodws version so not Steam. Host Dedicated server. To change the map we just turn the server off and in the In-Game menus we selected a different map. Then we transferred Player Character Data to the new map so that we could retain our Characters. We do upload Items to the Obelisk to retain our Items.

[gritty sluice]

have you tried to verify and repair the game in the microsoft store ?

[quiet shale]

Yes. We also completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

[gritty sluice]

have you tried going back to one of the previous maps and seeing if it continues to crash 2hrs after launching ?

[quiet shale]

Not on previous maps, only on new maps.

[gritty sluice]

all new maps you've recently tried or only ragnarok ?

[quiet shale]

All maps.

We are currenly on Fjurdor and it crashed after 2 hours.

[gritty sluice]

have you checked your hardware ? is the ram on the host pc all showing up ? you said you were able to play for a week before it started happening

[fathom tinsel]

Anyone have a solution to wyvern nests/eggs never spawning on astraeos? We have been running the server for a while and they never show up.

[gritty sluice]

i think 2 hours is how often the server save the back up . maybe a space issue on host pc ?

[quiet shale]

Yes it shows up. Hardware is all new, recently purchased. Nothing is wrong with the hardware that we can see. PC returns all scans as "clean" and memory is only 50% used, CPU is under 10%.

[gritty sluice]

sorry i cant figure it out . is anyone else on xbox/microsoft store version having a similiar issue?

[quiet shale]

I just appreciate the effort. Thank you.

[random heart]

Anyone know of a way to edit the Dragon Hoard loot drops? We are DESPERATELY trying to limit Tek on our servers while keeping the draklings and drops, but the tek loot and BPs are killing us.

[copper leaf]

Anyone know how to extract character from newer ark nitrado saves? My server appears to use the newer method of including character and tribe saves into the map saves and not individual ark profile files. Is there a way to get my character? I just successfully set up dedicated servers, I just was hoping to not need to recreate my character too

Edit to add that I made a new character, reclaimed my base and Dino’s, and my old character and a friends character are both still sleeping in beds in the base. Now I just need to find a way for my Xbox and server to see the old character as the primary or figure out a way to reclaim it

[snow yew]

Does anyone know if there is an updated spawn map with the spawn containers for Ragnarok ASA?

i didnt try the others

[snow yew]

yeah im adding rock drakes and manas

to bad i think it takes al ot more to make drake eggs spawn too but

that i have a temp workaround for

hopefully this works

yea i couldnt figure out how to get the nest to spawn

yeah its a totally seperate thing iirc

does anyone know how to add resource nodes or cave drops anywhere you want?

Tried both. I'm currently using 0.08 on weight and 0.0075 for max percentage for molerats on the wyverntrench container on rag. Weight is slighlty more than dung beetles.
On nok dedicated this spawns 6-8 molerats which is what I'm aiming for. But on my dedicated server the number is way higher. Not sure why

[mossy hinge]

If I remove summer bash, will I lose the sarcos shoes? No, right? Because in several days wildcard will be removing it meaning surely the rewards are in the game itself and not the mod explicitly? Friends and I have all we wanted and we're sick of all the kairukus literally invading our map. Lol

[outer bolt]

Just a heads up the castles keeps and forts mod isn’t currently working on ragnarok, you can download it but can’t place anything

[pure haven]

works fine on our cluster. reinstall mod

[outer bolt]

Hmmm I hope that’s the only issue I installed it on my server and purchased the mod and whenever I craft the stations and try to place them down it won’t let me

[outer bolt]

Well shit, did that and now the items aren’t even available to learn 😅

[pure haven]

did you reinstall it on server or on your client?

[outer bolt]

I Did both

[pure haven]

did you do it properly tho? to reinstall it on your client you need to restart game completely after removing mod and then install it again. for server you use cheat RedownloadModsOnServerRestart in game and restart your server

[outer bolt]

It seems to be the mod itself, I went into a private server after activating it and the items still don’t pop up on the engram list

Damn just bought the thing too and can’t use it 🤣

[outer bolt]

Quick question is there a way to increase passive tame speed? I’ve been sitting here for at least an hour trying to tame this level 150 Gigantopithecus and I’ve got taming speed up to 10.

[tulip tulip]

I know my pc needs a huge upgrade to play at stable fps and I had everything tweaked even with a script. It turns off clouds, fogs and even foliage density and water reflection but what I mean is that before the UE 5.5 my fps were like 60-70 and after the update I cant get past 30 fps which sucks a lot.

[flint token]

I will give this a go, fingers crossed. Thanks for having a look into this mate.

[native quest]

Does anyone know if you can limit which Creatures can spawn wild babies? We have disabled it on our Server, but now with the Giganotoraptor being on Rag, it seems the nests don't spawn if this setting is disabled. Is there a way to only allow Giganotoraptor wild babies?

[last magnet]

you could use Beacon and configure all the creatures except the gigantoraptors to not have babies, or you could use Configurable Wild Babies and just paste in a list of classes (will support mod creatures too) to block babies

[rapid kelp]

There may be a discord for the mod, if so I’d recommend joining and asking there

[rapid kelp]

With those stats per level, what are you getting? Like how
Much health and stuff per level?

[wise kindle]

You might have missed a step here:
Remove the mod
Restart your game fully (important)
Join the server and let the server reinstall the mod.

This fixes mod issues.

[onyx gale]

Did you ever find a solution? We have this issue on my cluster as well

[viral sand]

does anyone know how to put resource nodes or cave drops wherever you want?

[rapid kelp]

I have an issue on rag Asa, I’m using the Zytharian critters - Additional tek dinos mod and over the “cat castle” literally a million tek wyverns spawn, how would I fix this without disabling the mod?

Thanks, will try the mod I think.

[olive talon]

Can use the mod Spawn Blocker and manually set how many can be in the server at once

[inner thicket]

Na, gave up asking tbh

[onyx gale]

Poking around here and General, looks to be a pretty widespread issue more on the WC side than the server config side. So from what I'm gathering from very limited info, is there's nothing to be done but sit and wait for a patch

[last magnet]

I looked at Beacon after I posted it and it wouldn't have been possible with beacon anyway. I use the mod I mentioned on my cluster but to boost th chances for twins and triplets

That mod has been reported as broken since the 5.5 update. I just removed it from my servers until someone says it's working again. I'm not able to tell you who it was that said it, but I figured why take the chance.

[wise kindle]

It breaks alot. I never added it because of this.

[inner lion]

my friend group is gonna set up a ark server, we want somewhere to set up a "safe zone village" what big areas would be our best options?

example: the massive fall cave on fjordur

[last magnet]

I use it, but yeah, it breaks a lot with major updates. I also like Awesome Admin Tools (adds a menu button in inventory screen) and Admin Commands (a consumable item, you have to be admin to spawn it in, and use it). Both are great. AAT lets you give specific stats to spawned in creatures as well if you wanna replace a lost creature

I'm debating removing it since I like AAT a lot and it's not hard to pull up console commands instead of hoping my controller lands on the correct item on the radial menu (I play PC but use an xbox controller)

[odd ginkgo]

I have an unofficial server on Ragnarok look up T&L kingdoms 3v3 50 easy craft . And the only reason why I bought the service cause we were planning on the order on the regular one and killer clowns and a lot of these people hit us like four or five times didn’t do it. Next thing you know they wiped us out so I figured you know what we’ll get a server where people can just get their groove on .my youngest is 12. He got me planar about a week ago. Cool little game lotta realistic things in it somebody’s looking for a three man team to go build like that we took a big lava cave, but the whole server is open just don’t attack us. It’s fun, no drama I don’t care what people do just leave us be we like to have fun. Somebody wants to come on and build some kingdom come on.. and if not, I wish everybody on here a fun time with this game no matter what age you are. It’s pretty neat game pretty realistic I haven’t played a video game in 30 years. lol take care

Super spyglass is cross-platform so you should just be able to add it in your curseforge tab

So I know of PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoWild[7]=1.5 etc to increase all dinos carry weight for example but is there a working DinoClassStatMultipliers[7]=(ClassName="RockGolem_Character_BP_C", Multiplier=2.0) or PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[7]=(ClassName="RockGolem_Character_BP_C", Multiplier=2.0) for ASA?

[grizzled crescent]

Theres something called cross-ark-chat that worked for ase. Unsure if it works for asa. But worth checking out.

[soft pine]

Was that a mod or a setting? I know most things that worked on ASE we've tried with no luck 🙁

Evidently they have either an api or mod for cross ark chat.

[soft pine]

Hmm ill have to look into that

[queen crow]

I don't know any more than that about it.

[modest linden]

This is a known issue that many ppl are experiencing.

There’s a couple of things you can try to fix it

• deleting local save data (works on PC idk on Xbox)

• try suicide your player

• try transferring to another server

• clearing game cache

• Server side (owner) - Creating a new cluster ID

[celest halo]

There is also the LACC mod

[soft pine]

I tried that one but I couldnt figure it out. Might give it another try and reach out to the mod author and see if they can assist

[atomic folio]

hello, anyone use Splus on Ark Evolved ?

i need some help to configure something

[onyx gale]

Are people still experiencing lots of disappearing loot from vaults and storage on Astraeos? We had hoped 5.5 would mitigate it but it's apparently still happening in my cluster

[olive talon]

PS4 (Ark Survival Evolved) does not have mods at all.

[wise kindle]

Yep.
Even the 50 50 cleanup mod cant handle it.
Most of my players moved off it to Ragnarok.

[onyx gale]

Glad to know it's not just us.

[wise kindle]

When they lose a whole vault or it picks players pockets while they sleep, really tends to chase them off the map.
Right now ppl just build outposts there and keep their good stuff on other maps.

Is there a way to remove player id's when in spectator mode?

[loud forge]

I'm having a problem with my cluster. My survivor's map is TheIsland, and my Ragnarok server is open in a cluster. So, I should be able to transfer my character from TheIsland to Ragnarok, but I can't. However, my friend can. And I can also transfer from TheIsland to TheCenter. Only Ragnarok has a problem for me.

[delicate sage]

Naturally you have show player servers checked, passworded servers checked, all servers shown in the header? Does the server appear greyed out or does it just not appear at all?

[loud forge]

No, I can totally see the server and I can even connect to it from an obelisk. But when I get there, it asks me for a spawn location, I check one and then go into "downloading" until my game kicks me for "failure to connect to the server"

I have a screenshot

[delicate sage]

Self host or Nitrado?

[loud forge]

self host

but i dont understand because my friends can do this

and me i can do this in TheIsland/TheCenter

[delicate sage]

Can you then redownload at the Island? Have you tried logging a new character on the server?

And does it work when you log the new character?

My thought is that you may want to try deleting the save /tribe/ player info in the saved arks folder for the Ragnarok server. Make sure your current character is downloaded to TheIsland_WP first.

And this assumes the Ragnarok server is unsettled/new and you don’t have assets on the server.

[loud forge]

Well I'm kicked from the Ragnarok server, and so I have to reconnect to TheIsland server, where I can load my survivor and spawn at the tribe beds. I'm going to try creating a new survivor, then I'll resume my main survivor. (and if that doesn't work I'll go into the files, but how can I differentiate between my survivor's information located on Ragnarok and my friend's? (and where to find them)

[delicate sage]

It’s probably an all or nothing kinda thing. They would likely all need to transfer off first.

[mortal inlet]

How do you enable the summer bash mod?
i added it to command line, console says its loaded, but I cant make chibis or event skins or anything in the cooking pot. not entirely sure yet either, but i dont think the dino colors are changing either

is there something to add to GUS or game.ini?

[celest halo]

smithy for ASA events not the cooking pot

[mortal inlet]

Ah... thats weird af. wiki.gg out of date then

[spare brook]

Your character information is saved under your EoS number.
If you don't know it... open up any game (can even be singleplayer) and run the command
WhoAmI
it will put your EoS number in your clipboard.

The character files are named as the eos numbers.

[queen crow]

Summer Bash is a mod. Mod ID is 927091

Oops, I guess I should have read the rest of your posts.

[gritty sluice]

anyone know if rockdrakes will generate their own nests if ive added them to the ini file so they spawn on ragnarok ?

[oak spoke]

I’m polishing up my settings for my unofficial Nitrado and in need of an admin. It’s a small community but active. Lmk. Maybe you can add to server mods and settings.

[jade pecan]

Could anyone recommend a solution?
Every time I try to play on a server, I can't play. I only get to the character selection screen. When I spawn on the map, the screen goes black and the server kicks me out. This happens to me on official, unofficial, with mods, and without mods. Thanks for reading.

[last magnet]

also do a wild dino wipe to get the penguins to spawn. kill those for the popsicles to make the skins and chibis

[snow yew]

Anyone managed to make osme working spawn ovverides to make managarmr or rock drakes spawn on Ragnarok?

[queen crow]

I just put ark descended mod on my server and can't seem to avoid managarmrs or rock drakes. They're all over the place.

[snow yew]

im not looking for a mod though. simply spawn container additions

[gritty sluice]

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Ragnarok_Center_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="RockDrakeSpawner",EntryWeight=1.00,NPCsToSpawn=("/Game/Aberration/Dinos/RockDrake/RockDrake_Character_BP.RockDrake_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClass="RockDrake_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))
is the rock drake line i added to my ini to spawn them in. they were spawning in alot(12 in first couple mins) when i had it at 1.00 for maxpercentage that why its at 0.05 now , unsure if its too low though needs more testing

@snow yew

[snow yew]

ty. have one for managarmrs? i can prolly jsut insert and try it with the diff entities tho

ill try that one and see how it goes. if it doesnt work its likely a nitrado issue

god i wish we had more options (im building a server setup later this year but 😛 expensive)
