Aren't non-aberrant creatures also considered foreign though? It would be really weird for a non-aberrant creature to be allowed there

[viral cape]

Anyone have any idea why I can only put four items in the transmitter inventory for transfers?? Until last night I could put at least 15, today it just says max number of items reached when there's only 4 in there

[heady basalt]

this is not true

[wise kindle]

Yes.

how to fix rock drake not spawning

[autumn falcon]

I would like to upvote this lol

[jagged garnet]

Its part if abberation, you can enable non-native creature downloads which will allow anything to be downloaded or uncryoed. Otherwise abberation has a rule that unless there is a native abberant version of it you can not put it out there with the exceptions of some map specific non flyers such as gachas, velons, maeguana etc.

[golden nest]

I thought the whole logic of aberration relied on the creatures there being forever changed by radiation. But yet it doesn't change non-aberrant creatures to aberrant? It feels extremely clunky and poorly done

[jagged garnet]

there are no non abberant versions of creatures on that map, the abberant version have a 5% increase to dmg output and are immune to radiation damage. Normal creatures brought to abberation can only really help you in the early and mid game content (green and blue zones) while the red/rad zone is locked behind a radiation resistance requirement. Ab forces you to play ab.

[jagged garnet]

Also... they WERE forever changed... over an very long period of time (they ellude to rockwell being stuck as the overseer for decades even centuries) so those changes happened over a long period. It wouldnt make sense for you to bring your regulare anky to ab and expect it to become an abberant variant after such limited exposure time to the ark. the Ab creatures adapted and evolved to survive not becuase they crossed a territory line.

[golden nest]

I didn't know that part, that's actually pretty interesting. I'm all for the content lock honestly, otherwise it follows the same formula of transfer dinos, grab artifacts, do bosses, next map.

Knowing this new information though, that'll expand the gameplay quite a lot

[jagged garnet]

ab is a really well done map, even if you transfer with full gear you can't just wipe the map.

[verbal cove]

Hi, someone have a command for game ini, for block desolatitan beta, gamma, alpha engramme please, I found nothing on their discord, thanks

[robust nymph]

Anyone know a command to destroy wild bee hives only? Or has wildcard still not made a difference between wild and tamed after all these years.

[upper pulsar]

Server i'm hosting with friends has all tamed dinos' health and melee damage stat scale crazily high per level. All specific scaling stats are 1.0 and Singleplayer Settings are off. I'm at a complete loss, does anyone have any idea what might be causing it?

[wise kindle]

Its still classified as a structure as far as I know, not really an easy way to destroy them.

[robust nymph]

Bugger. Wish they'd fix them stacking. No where near as bad as it used to be, but there were 26 of them on 3 trees.

[wise kindle]

Daily dino wipes help, but they have to be daily or 2x a day seems to help.

[near hawk]

"DestroyAll BeeHive_C"

Last I remember it worked

[indigo zenith]

They have started spawning in, I didn't really pay much attention lol.

[acoustic heron]

how is it that when i start e new ark world and that i don't even get a single exp, its stuck at 0.0 and i searched for how to fix it for a while now

[mental glacier]

I have a question 🙋‍♂️
I run my own servers and I use beacon but I have done every dino same stats, so different maps are different stats can someone give some advice please?? 🙏

[queen crow]

I've got caps and numbers in mine and it works perfectly.

@willow ember Are you using 'EnableCheats password' then 'cheat fly'?

[robust nymph]

Dino wipes dont clear hives. Done a wipe a watched them stay.

[robust nymph]

Removes all beehives, including tamed hives.

[outer maple]

Is there a rock Drake fix for unnofficial?

[near hawk]

Wait for the major patch this month, or add them manually via ini config

[viral cape]

Anyone have any idea why I can only put four items in the transmitter inventory for transfers?? Until last night I could put at least 15, today it just says max number of items reached when there's only 4 in there

[willow ember]

does anyone have an idea how do i change the game settings like rates and etc?

[timber sandal]

Guys, who got the "Bad service version" error, how did you solve it?

[wise kindle]

Oh Ik, but the structure seems to decay with no bee.
The daily wipes seems to help cuz we dont see this since we started them.

[arctic cove]

Can someone help me? I cant Join the most played oficial server disheremine Ragnarok It says the connection with the host expired i tried everything what do i do?

[rigid compass]

Quick questions if i buy primal nemesis mod for my server does everyone else have to buy it to use it as well?

And the casino mod if i purchase it and add it with they have to purchase it as well to use it?

[bleak ivy]

premium mods have to be bought to use. the description may say freemium and say what people who don't buy it can do.
servers can't buy mods, its all on the client.

[autumn hornet]

yea i was thinking of the server password. i realized my mistake and relayed that thru dm. thx for the correction and getting the proper info out there

[robust nymph]

Only reason i noticed is when I was sitting around with a structure scanner active it lit up only a few hives but had a higher count. Destroyed one and there were more under it.

[feral marsh]

I have three maps (Island, Center, Scorched). They all have identical ini, but for some reason - my plugins will ONLY work on the island. Everything has been installed the same. Is there a reason they may not work on the other maps, despite all other things being the same? I've searched and am just at a loss.

[shut lark]

i am unable to get the fear event to work, my server wont even show up

hmm well maybe i just didn't wait long enough, i see the mod now on my server list after i click "Join"

[waxen igloo]

Hey all, a friend of my setup an unofficial on a dedicated machine, and used the default ark config files for all the game settings, despite that for some reason Everytime the dinos are levelled up in melee or health specifically, it’s like super boosted. When he tried turning down these 2 settings, it didn’t have any effect what so ever, so is there some other setting overriding this or what’s going on?

[fallow idol]

Is there anyway to turn down the fog slightly on my nitrado server for all players?

[pulsar anvil]

has there been a fix to being unable to join any unofficial servers? click the join button and nothing happens. can join official but not unofficial

[carmine goblet]

Anyone have an issue with the artifact in the forest titan cave not showing up?

[rigid maple]

Is there a way to up the amount of taxidermys you can have out?

[toxic hazel]

Believe there is a mod that can run commands on player join thhat this could be included, for the name of said mod, not sure

[hasty hatch]

Hello everyone, i have an issue with max levels of wild dinos, it looks like it is capped at 1000, me and my friend got bored from ark and wanted to go crazy a bit and set for max lvl wild dinos to 1500, but when you tame anything from 1000 to 1500 they are 1531 it dosent add the 50% levels.
Any ideas for what i can change to have crazy levels and ist it possible? I have server on Nitrado if that makes any difference

[last magnet]

I've set the difficulty for my Val map to 43, giving me a max wild level of 1290, perfect tame at 1943, tek at 1548/2321 and it's made the map hella fun, bc I got myself taken out by a 215 bronto stomping around

I boost the difficulty levels for all my maps, with Island being the least at diffculty 25, max level 750

[hasty hatch]

So it seems that the issue is my setup 🙁

[last magnet]

yeah, you'd need to set the difficulty=some number, and offset at 1

it's an easy fix with a dinowipe as soon as the change is made and the server restarts

[hasty hatch]

they sapwn fine in the wild the only issue is when i tame high level

[last magnet]

ahhh

[hasty hatch]

and i do dino wipe every day when restarting server

[last magnet]

admin tame will get you perfect tames. taming effectiveness in the wild depends on a lot of factors

[hasty hatch]

the issue is why dosent go above 1531 level when i tame for example 1500 wild

if i tame lower than 1000 it works fine

[last magnet]

I'll have to test my settings

bc I haven't tamed anything that high

[hasty hatch]

if you can share the ini setup i would really appreciate it

[hasty hatch]

ohhh

try something above 1000 like 1200 maybe and see if it goes above 1531

with 1200 wild lvl you should get 1799 with kibble

[solemn pike]

Does anyone know if u can get the full events (winter,easter and fear evlolved) in ase on a g portal server with raptor clause and dodorex/wyvern actually spawning

[last magnet]

ase does not have events anymore

[bleak ivy]

unless you are switch/mobile.

[graceful rock]

Hi, I have a question. Does anyone know which Discord channel to use to send the private thread with the 10 images of the Jack O' Lanterns?

[mossy vine]

hello, how can I increase my SP player level gap to like 200-300 in Survival Evolved? found stuff online but the articles did it differently and one of those seem to not work for me at least

[bleak ivy]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/10/517142253858366913/
just gotta put the levelexperiencerampoverrides settings in game.ini.
its very long can't post the actual thing in discord

there are 2 there. first one changes survivor. second one changes dinos. they are the exact same so you can't change dinos without changing survivor. (you can have it the exact same as normal tho)

[mossy vine]

ay thanks man! appreciate it

do i need to put it under any of the categories/sections in the ini file as well or not?

[bleak ivy]

there should only be the top script in game.ini so shouldn't need to be anywhere specific. I put it at the very bottom since its so long. (remember no empty lines)

first remove the space. second best to have them be 0 so they aren't maxing out

[mossy vine]

shit, i accidentally deleted the question when editing 😭

but i see, thank you so much for answering and helping me!

it worked 🙏

[bleak ivy]

oh, forgot to mention. the ascension levels are counted in that so you'll still need all those bonus ones to get to level 300

[grave quest]

Hey everyone!
I’m playing ARK: Survival Evolved through the Microsoft Store / Game Pass, and I can’t download the DLC maps like Extinction, Aberration, or Genesis — the download just gets stuck and never starts.

Has anyone else had this issue recently, or found a fix that actually works?

[jovial lodge]

This is server setup questions - you probably meant to post this in #bobs-with-probs - I never used Game Pass so I have no idea good luck.

[last magnet]

tested spawning in a wild level 1500 vanilla theriz. only came out at 1531

[glad spear]

?

[last magnet]

took me a bit to get to it

[hasty hatch]

Yeah i guess there is a cap, ASE there was no cap

idk why they put a cap, is there way to remove it

[last magnet]

might het changed with Genesis or lost colony

i had no idea there was a cap tbh

[hasty hatch]

i hope there is a way to remove the cap

[last magnet]

ooh it's the 255 limit on stats

other than speed and i have speed leveling on

the theri i spawned in was maxed on all stats at 255

[jagged garnet]

Yeah there is a per stat cap so some creatures can go higher levels just cause they have more stats/can actually put points into them. Example alot of creatures only have 5 stats instead of six due to lack of oxygen and some like gachas have like 7. But per stat the cap is 255 wild/base, 255 mutated (really just 254 since muts are even numbered)

[untold mason]

hello - Fluffdragon told me to try asking this here since he.she wasn't able to figure out the problem up in the bobswithprobs thread 🙂

I have been struggling with an issue since a few weeks ago. TBH I don't remeber exactly when it started - I have a tbi that goofs up my memory and I didn't write it down /facepalm. What has been happening is my charater is getting lost when I log off the game. The next day I come back and it is gone. I'm not sure if it is something to do with my cluster on my pc or what. I have run updates on all the servers and the game is up to date. The only workaround I have found it I need to learn an engrame and then the .arkprofile seems to save after I log off. If I don't learn an engram - pretty good chance my charater is gone. Thankfully I run a backup on my server drives and i was able to find a .arkprofile for my charater and have it saved into a special folder not with a script to copy the file into my server folder when i come to find it didn't save after the last logout- this seems odd. any thoughts?

[slow ginkgo]

do you use -usestore? check the pinned comments here, once i ran -converttostore and -usestore ive not lost a char on my cluster since

[untold mason]

thanks sooooo much for this!!!!!! massive help

[burnt wren]

is there a mod for increased crop yield for ase? Im in singleplayer, and Ive modified the crop growth speed, but it seems to only affect seeds getting to the fruitling stage, not how fast the output is.

[fallow idol]

On nitrado is there any code I can use to reduce the fog from the island for everyone permanently? Not off. Just reduced. No mods. Thank you. ASA

Just sat on the side of the volcano for the last 15 mins lol cannot see anything on screen

[upper pulsar]

Tamed dinosaurs in ASA Valguero get abnormally high Health and Melee Damage per level. All stat scaling configs are default 1.0 and SingleplayerSettings are disabled. Any idea what's causing it?

[young slate]

@golden charm u there I nedd to ask u something

[weak sinew]

Is fear ascended updated and working rn?

[near hawk]

it hasn't been updated for this year content

should still be just last years stuff

[indigo zenith]

Yes I've had it on my servers the past 2 weeks.(Not the updated version).

[tidal cosmos]

Does club ark need the event mod added to the launch parameters during events or not?

[echo pecan]

nope

[tidal cosmos]

Thought so but wanted to be sure, thank you!

[jagged garnet]

Has anyone found a way to Rcon a dedicated server (not hosted) there were plenty of options for ASE but I cant find anything for ASA

[shadow tulip]

So with the Fear event being a mod, are all the event dinos on my unoffical going to be taken from my peeps once Fear is over?

[jaunty vortex]

do we still need the use event colors server option to get the dino colours?

[jaunty vortex]

are you running your own server locally?

[haughty ether]

no as zombie wyverns are in the base game

[warped portal]

Hi all. i have "LogCFCore: Error: Error querying server mods: Failed to send request to server with error: 400" when i try to start my servers (after the upgrade). Is anyone have the same problem?

[frail ferry]

i cant update servers ethier

[indigo zenith]

Not yet, going to update one of my servers~~ but not all of them atm~~. Seems fine so I'm updating the rest.

[celest halo]

That's a bad request error and could be from a bunch of different reasons

[onyx carbon]

Does someone know how do I remove enegrams from my ASA server(I want to remove cryopods)

[celest halo]

I use same way I did with ASE

[desert bluff]

R.fog 0

[orchid coyote]

My server says its running and i restarted it, but nothing shows up under unofficial servers at all. Any help?

[jaunty scarab]

Have the same problem there are no more servers at the unofficial

[orchid coyote]

Weeelp

[indigo zenith]

Have you typed your server name in to the search bar to find it that way?

[orchid coyote]

Yes

[indigo zenith]

Still no luck?

[jaunty scarab]

I can't see any unofficial servers anymore, not even through the search bar ours can be found

[timid tiger]

Does anyone happen to know what the Steam subsystem message in the ASA server console means at startup? Is it something else that Wildcard didn't communicate?

[celest halo]

my unofficial list shows all kinds of servers, did you guys update your client

[robust nymph]

All maps updated but a few players cant see them at all

[faint delta]

Can you guys help me please

Well im on a server with people and we keep getting roll backs in a loop can anyone help me please i dont wanna lose my progress

[robust nymph]

That was happening to us about 12 hours ago.

[faint delta]

Do you know how to end this i might work now maybe then

Kept happening constantly

[upper anchor]

Can we get a bug fix for this update

[orchid coyote]

Can the server owner stop the server or restore a backup?

[orchid coyote]

Nope. I'm on xbox, one of the folks who can't see the servers.

But someone is in the server, so its up.

[celest halo]

xbox having issues if you go by status updates #status-updates message

[orchid coyote]

That's why I said I was one of the folks on xbox with the issue, there's been no other update since this morning.

But hopefully soon 🤞🤞 I can't wipe the dinos for folks to hunt the new ones 🙁

[celest halo]

xbox having such bad issues there status page dont even load 🤣

looks like a full section of microsoft azure is having issues

[orchid coyote]

This was my last day off from surgery and you just know they couldn't let me play Ark with it. 😂

What is Azure?

[celest halo]

its microsofts version of AWS

[faint delta]

Idk who is the server owner

[robust nymph]

Make sure the player server only box isnt ticked

[faint delta]

Okay I'll have a look im on switch

[frail crescent]

You need to find out whom runs the server you're on. Find out discord info or w/e

[faint delta]

Okay ty

[orchid coyote]

It's on. Switch?! Oh I'm hyped, it wasn't when I looked a long time ago.

The workaround i saw someone post is to click the "allow player servers" or something like that, it worked for me.

[wispy spindle]

Search player servers

[grim stirrup]

I'm sure someones asked this before but I cant seem to find it anywhere in the chat history. I have a dedicated server and I'm trying to mess with the maturation timer settings. Folks on my server work and can't grind crazy hours. So want them to enjoy breeding but without waiting 8 hours for cuddles and several days to raise a single wild dino. Was thinking these settings may be a good start to take the edge off and to decrease/increase from there. I just cant get the settings to take.

BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=5
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=.2
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=2
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=3

Tried putting them in the GamerUserSettings.ini under [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameUserSettings]. Nothinggg. Am I putting these in the wrong spot?

[tiny hill]

I just set up my own PVE server via Nitrado, I am asking for assistance on Giving a player points to unlock engrams and level up, How and where do I do this. Also How/where do I modify the loot drops?

[worthy finch]

Is Fear Evolved a mod we have to install?

[worthy finch]

Those are in the settings section, you can just do it that way rather doing it through the ini files

Settings -> General

[bleak ivy]

its fear ascended. yes you have to install it and enable it.

[autumn hornet]

yes they're in the wrong spot. they go in the game.ini. btw, those will still be super slow if you don't have sp setting enabled on the server

[versed kindle]

Have they pushed the update for v74.5 into private servers yet?

[grim stirrup]

The only file in my Config folder is the gameusersettings.ini
Everything I was looking it almost had them as the same thing so I wasnt sure if it was an ASE vs ASA naming thing.
I was wondering if those were low. I keep getting mixed reviews online so I was going to ratio see how those impacted numbers before going heavier.

[grim stirrup]

Ignore me. I think I deleted it when re-formatting from The Island to Ragnarok. Stole one from a prior save file.

[celest halo]

that was pushed like 5 min after the patchnotes went out

[versed kindle]

okay thanks

[twilit current]

On unofficial, is fear evolved limited to the 2 weeks like on official?

[slow ginkgo]

no, its until you remove the event launch argument

[twilit current]

thanks

[safe scroll]

Are there still issues with player ran servers populating? I’m running one from my pc to play on my Xbox and it’s not showing up

[tardy rover]

im on steam and still cant see servers no matter what i try

[safe scroll]

Okay that gives me some hope I suppose, I haven’t played in ages but I set up a sever the same way I always have and not such luck at it populating.

[tardy rover]

(Make sure “Show Player Servers” is checked then use the search bar to look up your server name) wonder if this actual works for anyone cause my friends and I it does nothing

[tardy rover]

... got it to work, but i had to search for PVP servers even though ours is PVE only....

[balmy zodiac]

it wont lemme join my unofficial server not sure why. I can see it under the unofficial tab i click it to refresh so i can join but once i refresh it just shows "No sessions found!"

[mellow sequoia]

I think it is all related to this #status-updates message My cluster, which I host is running ok but not visable.

[balmy zodiac]

okay it now shows and is visble but its greyed out and i cant join it would it still be relevant to whatevers happening in status updates?

[foggy marsh]

can someone help with this problem everytime i hit someone in the head of my dinosaur it dosent do the headshot multiplier example im riding a raptor i hit the trike in its head it dosent take reduced damage in the head

[mellow sequoia]

Pretty sure it's related to Nintrado. I believe they control access to all servers including unofficial

It's appears they are having issues. Will try again tomorrow

[leaden canyon]

yeah im having this issue also. its kinda annoying

[covert condor]

I'm not with Nitrado and I have the same problem. According to the server, they're online, but they can't be found on the PS5.

[balmy zodiac]

yeah im on gravel guess the unofficial servers r js broken

[covert condor]

However, many unofficial servers are running.

[balmy zodiac]

o u right well then i guess its just half broken js gonna pray tmrw it works

[covert condor]

Do you use mods? If so, which ones?

[neat stag]

Anyone else seeing this in the server startup since yesterday:
Initializing Steam Subsystem for server validation.
Steam Subsystem initialized: FAILED

[covert condor]

No

[balmy zodiac]

Use quite a bit do u want me to name all of em?

[covert condor]

If you don't have a problem with it, you can certainly do that. It might also be a mod error.

[grand plover]

anyone know a way to allow things like JVH garden decor/landscaping to be placed on platforms?

has the No session found issue been fixed?

[hasty cradle]

Hey if any server owners need help join the server owners discord in my bio

[thorny parcel]

Hey, my freind shadow has a server and he is owner, im co owner, he wants me to post for him in server ads, is that ok mods? do i resquest to do that here? im sorry if this the wrong chat, please let me know

[slow ginkgo]

i don't know a lot, but i can see there's a server-ads channel over there on the left <------

[thorny parcel]

I saw that, but I need permission to post I stepped down as owner and am now co owner, and the rules are if not owner you need permission so I thought I could ask here

[upper pulsar]

Tamed dinosaurs in ASA Valguero get abnormally high Health and Melee Damage per level. All stat scaling configs are default 1.0 and SingleplayerSettings are disabled. Any idea what's causing it?

[mellow sequoia]

So is it just me or are unofficial servers that are self hosted not appearing on the server list? Everything was fine until the update yesterday. I have read about curseforge issues and perhaps some issues with Nitrado. When I look at the list I do see other unofficials but most don't have any one on them.

[covert condor]

I'm having the same problem and can't find my own servers. I'm not with Nitrado either.

[mellow sequoia]

OK good to know. Not seeing anything about it really. Going to submit a report

[deft sun]

I haven't been able to download the Fear Ascended mod on PS5 since yesterday. It freezes during installation and then crashes to the main menu. Because of this, I can't access the official servers.

[mellow sequoia]

So I run my servers through unraid and I just forced them to redownload things by deleting the SteamApps Folder. When I did this I was able to see my server again. Something in the original download got messed up on several of my servers. There must have been issues that corrupted things. Odd that the server still loaded.

[covert condor]

Does that mean I have to set everything up again?

[balmy zodiac]

Is the issue still not resolved? 😭

[balmy zodiac]

Sorry fell asleep but I don’t think it’s a mod error it was all perfect and I feel like I would’ve seen it in the console of my hosting if it was a mod error

[covert condor]

Unfortunately not, we're still looking for a solution.

[covert condor]

It was just an idea.

[balmy zodiac]

Have this issue could just try putting the multiplier below 1.0 I never tried cuz i don’t mind the insanely high multiplier

[quick yacht]

Has anyone figured out a fix for the overspawning of fire wyverns on Rag map when the ini setting has already been tweeked to lower the spawn rate?

[bleak ivy]

health and melee are not defaulted to 1.0

[mellow sequoia]

How are you hosting your server?

[celest halo]

this is cheating, we cant use pictures to aid in helping 🤣

[bleak ivy]

nope, you gotta write them out or ask if you can dm them.

[covert condor]

I have a separate server and need AMP to create, update, and configure the map. After that, I can edit the ini file using WinSP Gaming. Is that helpful for you?

So, not via Nitrado.

[fading wing]

Anyone else having this issue when enabling this year fear ascended mod on unofficial dedicated server where anyone logging in after the mod is enabled and server rebooted, their character are not found and need to create a new one, but everything is fine if the mod is removed? it's the only mod activated

[mellow sequoia]

I am not sure how this works for Amp but if you can reinstall the ark server files and mods it may help. You would keep your settings and saved games of course.

[teal cypress]

so we are all still waiting for the fix of servers not showing?

[mellow sequoia]

I am not sure. I am beginning to think many of the issues are related to botched installs from Steam/Curseforge. The implementation of this update seemed to have more snags that way.

[teal cypress]

its been more then 24 hours now since my server is basically living but inside a shadowrealm. We hear nothing from the devs etc on those issues although we have been more then just loudly screaming in this channel that our servers have been gone. It wouldnt be a major issue if it would just be an occasional one at a time problem but its affecting hundreds of servers.

[nova tangle]

hey !! anyoen can explain me here how i can invite a friend on steam in a game that im hosting ?

[balmy zodiac]

Tell them the server name and they’d have to go to the unofficial tab when clicking join game on ark and just type in the server name and it should pop up

[deft citrus]

I have a server

[proven crypt]

how do i transfer my world file from my singleplayer/non-dedicated world to my dedicated server

whenever i try to transfer it over the server just deletes it and make a new fresh world file

[broken halo]

Do you have access to ur files if so easiest way is to copy and paste ur gus and game ini's then copy the saved ark folder build ur server and replace them with the copies it should bring all progress withe the saved ark folder but this is all speculation I've never applied it from single player but when I have to rebuild server due to corruption I use this method

[robust nymph]

Do you have player servers only checked? Unofficial needs that checked now for some reason. Then you'll need to search for your server to show them.

[proven crypt]

how do i make my linux ark server give me logs in the console, currently it will work but just says nothing and i cant even tell if my commands i put in the console are doing anything like idk if it even lets me save or exit

Guys are there any other unofficial server owner who has problems with event work right? O.o
Because only stuff in our cluster what works are event color palletes on wild dinos. No skeletons, no event theme items. Just nothing and yes, event is on.

[wise kindle]

When you say event is on, do you mean the mod is added?

[celest halo]

On ASA the fear ascended event is a mod there is no turning it on beside installing the mod for it

[graceful cobalt]

No, we have no mods.

Oh ascended

We have ASE servers ;-;

[wise kindle]

Theres nothing beyond what you have for ASE.

Events stopped being supported in 2023.

[graceful cobalt]

Weird, few our players said something different. O.o

But thanks. ^^"

[wise kindle]

Note that ASE has changed since last year, cough cough Aquatica. So things may not work like they used to.

[graceful cobalt]

Uhm true true, just some stuff working, rest of features nope kekw

[queen arrow]

I cant update my pc server Version 73.39 to the latest version don't know why

[celest halo]

Without seeing output from steam(CMD) who knows why, could be installing to wrong dir, could be connection error, could be anything

[gloomy cloak]

How do I activate the extra life event on my server? I tried the -activeevent=partydodos in the command line but it doesn’t work I don’t think…was told to come here from general chat. I tried scrolling back but didn’t see any info before posting. TIA

[wise kindle]

Selfhost?

[gloomy cloak]

Nitrado

[wise kindle]

Choose it from the event dropdown menu

[gloomy cloak]

Oh ffs. Thank you! I didn’t even think of that

[humble tartan]

How do i activate it on my selfhost? 😄

[wise kindle]

-activeevent=partydodos

Is the extra life event messing with cosmetics?
I want to enable it but not if its gonna mess with skins.

[queen arrow]

Error! App '2430930' state is 0x6 after update job What is this?

[loud pike]

Is there are a way to create Ark Ascended server on Unraid server ? or Ark studio made anything to avoid custom server because they want sell nitrado server for cash $$$ ?

I seen a package named ARKSurvivalAscended ich777 but it seem broken ... it restart in loop...

[celest halo]

Could be a few things, Write failure / no disk space / corrupted file

[hasty hatch]

I have an issue with player max level, goes to 75 and dosent receive xp to go to next level, i even tried with command but it dosent give xp even with command.
The only thing i changed is the map and started the server with new file, i m on nitrado.
Any ideas ???

[worthy finch]

Is the Cake event a mod?

[tepid berry]

no - it's an event that's built into the game that gets activated a different way.

[pulsar raft]

Any information on y when I access the obelisk on a new island server it crashes and restarts?

[tepid berry]

I've had this happen when the cluster had corrupt data in it in the past.

[pulsar raft]

Yeah, I had to delete the saved ark file and it seems to work now, I also mostly play single player and had a creature uploaded that refused to spawn but for some reason I spammed it and poped out.

I think I fixed it, dont know how tho

[tepid berry]

If it's single player, people aren't gonna really know here - this is for unofficial servers that people self-host

You probably want to enable -NoTransferFromFiltering on any server you run, to prevent people from being able to pull things from their single player saves. Otherwise you risk people bringing in admin guns and destroying everything, etc.

[pulsar raft]

It was for a unofficial server. I just played singleplayer.

The issue was i couldnt access the obelisk without crashing my own server i run, because I also play single player

[pale patio]

yo im having trouble trying to connect my friend to my server it keeps saying that im timed out even tho we have the same mods and we tried whitelisting, why won it connect cause i have connected to my friend before

any help?

[balmy zodiac]

anyone still having issues trying to connect to their unofficial server even tho the servers up

[remote zephyr]

yes, this killed Halloween plans tonight for us I'm afraid

we are Xbox client to self hosted, there is an error that pops on Xbox right after connection and then it goes to lost connection timeout error

cant catch the error

[wintry raft]

Is anyone having issues with the Fear Evolved event where the event Dino’s are overspawning to the point of not being able to do anything? On our Ragnarock server, mousers are everywhere and we cannot seem to kill them. Zombie wyverns are overtaking the ice wyvern spawns and there are like 500 wyverns on the map.

[reef thistle]

Anyone can help me with orp for pve server? I thought i had it set up, but someone just lost all their stuff.

Is it because this is 0?

PreventOfflinePvP=True
PreventOfflinePvPInterval=0.0

[wintry raft]

Is there a way to enable the fear ascended wild Dino colors without the craziness of the mod itself?

[frosty dawn]

How do you turn on the Extralife colours and bonus saturation or colours etc on nitradro servers? Already have Halloween on obviously.

[celest halo]

should be in the event dropdown menu

[west wigeon]

My server has been insanely laggy for approximately 10 hours or so. Didn't change anything or add any mods. Played this morning & it was fine--no lag for me or my tribemates. Had some IRL things to do so hopped off, tribemate got on around 10 hours ago and was experiencing extreme lag. I got on about five hours ago and experienced the same extreme lag. The server's been restarted three times at this point and still the same issue. Ping looks good (~80 right now), no mods have been added or settings changed. My tribemates and I are all with different internet providers and regions and are experiencing the same issues with lag, so it's not client side. Not sure what I'm supposed to do here or if anyone has any suggestions. Trying to interact with anything in game (refrigerator, dinos, vaults, etc.) takes 5+ seconds to have any type of reaction, but typically is more like 10+ seconds. Any suggestions?

[past blaze]

Can you cluster together PVE, and PVP servers?

[jagged garnet]

yes

pve/pvp is a per server rule and clustering has nothing to do with server settings outside of cluster id related info.

[past blaze]

but can u transfer

[jagged garnet]

yes, the pvp/pve part is tied to the server not the player. You cant transfer from pvp to pve and perform pvp.

[past blaze]

Hm.. Thats tough.

Ideally id like to be able to make pve players able to transfer to pvp to fight when needed.

[jagged garnet]

you can...

[past blaze]

Ohh I read wrong.

[onyx cloud]

Do they have a mod ID for Extra Life? I cant seem to find one and I need ot run this on my private server.

[jagged garnet]

when you transfer to a pvp server you are now pvp, when you join pve server you are now pve. whether you can perform pvp is determined by the server not the player.

[jagged garnet]

its just a start param, no mod.

[past blaze]

Well, in Evolved when this was the case. You couldnt transfer items/characters back to PVP from PVE.

I used to run clusters on PVE/PVP.

I was curious if ascendeds changed this

[onyx cloud]

So, you mena like -ActivateEvernt=ExtraLife?

[past blaze]

Correct

[onyx cloud]

Thank you. ❤️

[past blaze]

It wouldn't be this exact typing but thats how it would function.

[jagged garnet]

that was a per server setting, there is not tag data indicating whether an item or entity is pve/pvp the only limiting factor is server game rules and transfer rules. pve vs pvp does not change anything with transfering.

[past blaze]

"-ActiveEvent=PartyDodos"

@onyx cloud

[onyx cloud]

Yes. I'll make sure its correct before I execute. I'm running my cluster on linux so I can drop it into the custom args in the yaml on POK ARK server manager I think.

[onyx cloud]

Haha, one of my constituents was literally reading it off to me in voice as you tagged me. Aces.

[idle tendon]

Hello im new here seeking help bad with my private server im running off my old pc threw steamcmd. I just wanna be able to test some admin commands spawn in sum of my old tames i used to have on my old server

I have whitelisted both my ids and added them in the administrator tab also and i turned on RCON in ASM. Then saved the ini and restarted the server still wjen i press tab or the tilde key nothing happens i dont see any console when im paused

I have 0 mods installed so no mod could be interfering like chat gpt said ive been trying for 3 days now website after website video after video. All says press tab but it doesn't work

[narrow kindle]

Hi Again, sorry for tagging you in a response, I changed these and I would just like to confirm if anyone else got this, i set the HeliRate Cap at 0 but in game they cap out at 90% is this normal or would there be some other setting capping this as wll ?

[narrow kindle]

you shouldnt see the consolewhen paused, should just be a black bar at the bottom of your screen when you are in game and if you press ` again it should go over half your screen

[floral reef]

Hey there, what could be the problem that I can't join Ragnarok on a specific cluster but can on others? I can also join Ragnarok in single-player mode.

[chilly slate]

Hello,

Today I noticed some abnormal spawns:

Wyverns in the snow biome on Ragnarok,

Kairukus in the green obelisk lake on The Center,

and Gigas in the corrupted zone on Extinction.

Yesterday, I activated the Fear Ascended event. Could this issue be related to the event?
I’ve never had this problem before.

[thorny wadi]

Yea wyverns spawn there and gigas as well. Unless the gigas aren't corrupt and the wyverns arnt ice

[chilly slate]

Yes, I know — but not hundreds of them and is fire wyvern i can post a screen

[thorny wadi]

Yea post it

[chilly slate]

#fanart-and-screenshots message

[chilly slate]

I’ve already done it with DestroyWild, but they were all fire Wyverns.

[thorny wadi]

What u went up to them and it said fire?

[chilly slate]

Yes, I’m an admin on an unofficial server and I can confirm that they are indeed fire Wyverns and not ice.
But the fact that so many spawned right after the Fear Ascended mod was added is quite problematic, especially with the tons of Kairukus on The Center and tamable Gigas on Extinction.
I found about 20 Gigas before using DestroyWild on the entire map.

[thorny wadi]

I have no clue then

[fathom karma]

As soon as I want to play valguero my game crashes but every other map works, can someone please help?

[stray tendon]

is this server for ark evolved or ascended

[near hawk]

u can ask question for both

[grim whale]

How we do add the extra life event?

[spice wyvern]

Can confirm. Fire wyverns (and alphas) over spawn on unofficial in snowy area on Ragnarok. We have the same issue after adding Fear Ascended. It was fun destroying all of them

[spice wyvern]

If you're running a server on Nitrado - stop your server, go to general settings - it will be a drop down under active event - select extra life, restart server. I also suggest doing a wild dino wipe so all those colors can pop up

[balmy zodiac]

anyone still having issues connecting to their servers? My server shows under the unofficial tab but its dimmed out and it wont lemme join it and when i click on it the only button is refresh not join. Refresh doesnt do anything and i want my server that i paid for....

[echo lily]

Hey guys, my friends and I are doing a little private server with a lot of new players. They were getting murdered on the beaches by the mouser dodos and the zombie dodos. I saw somewhere online you can stop the spawn of a certain type of dodo. Is there any way to stop these guys from spawning so they can enjoy the event stuff but not get murdered while learning how to play? Couldn't even kill the low levels, it's really annoying

[mellow sequoia]

It works. Just need to set it up correctly had port forward the server port. I have all of them working and recently added Valguero. Try renaming/deleteung the steamcmd folder. It won't delete any of your saves but it will force a fresh download of the game. That fixed my server issues when they were not appear in the game.

[subtle edge]

We activated the Fear Ascended mod but the mousers and the ectoplasm from ghosts doesnt seem to be working. any help? theres not even the blueprints in the smithy

[queen shadow]

Hey I have a ASA server with around 10+ players. After this update on steam none of us can join the server for more than 2 minutes with "Lost Connection to Host". It never happened before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We all cleared cache as the announcement said but its still happening (i got my issue fixed)

[trim wadi]

Hi, same issue here, we can use console commands to join the server, so port forwarding etc is fine, reinstalled epic launcher etc to fix the certs and all that. but I found in the player save folder, cached entries from ASA CDN , showing a list of banned IP's , turns out my whole ISP, all their blocks, is on the ban list for banned servers (not player bans) . lol. just sharing as a fyi

[queen shadow]

I had the same issue

It happened after this update?

[balmy zodiac]

i got it fixed apparently the server wasnt updated with the new ark update so i had support from my hosting server to help update it and it works now

[queen shadow]

try this which fixed my issue in your SteamCMD bat. And reinstall the dlc from steam

SteamCMD\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir "%~dp0server" +app_update 2430930 validate +quit

start "" "%~dp0server\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe" Ragnarok_WP?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27020?bRawSockets?MaxPlayers=2?SessionName=test?ServerAdminPassword=test-NoBattlEye -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -log

Please help

[nova owl]

HEy Guys

can some one help me Plz help me to convert a Json to uasset ?

[remote zephyr]

I have summer bash mod in passivemod list and fear evolved in the loaded mod list. Summer bash music plays, fear evolved doesn't. Any ideas? Fear Evolved is still the active event in the game. But hearing summer bash on every start gets really old

[wise kindle]

Remove the Summer bash mod? You wont lose anything.

The assets have been in game for over a year.

[runic ore]

I had to remove Resonant Shop mod because it is causing hard crash to Xbox. If someone have an alternative way of adding an in-game shop it would be so great...

Does anyone know a way to save video setting if the only place where it won't let you click is the save button? I have tried to tab but it doesn't work either

[mental iris]

So me and a friend, @fringe rain is having an inventory issue on our Nitrado Server we dont know what is going on we have tried restarting the server it solved the issue momentarily but continued to happen soon after. The proble is items just disappear in player and item inventories, even blueprints and crafting option. Anyone know what to do?

[hollow rampart]

hi i have problem with fruit z left click show only animation but on right click evrything work correctly wht i must setup on ini to work correctlly?

[echo lily]

We got the opposite problem on my server. The whole map got taken over by mousers and new people can't even spawn in and be alive for more than 5 seconds 💀

[valid flame]

Any fix for a huge, massive, ridiculous wyvern spawn in the murder snow on Rag?

[wise kindle]

Remove all mods
Restart your game
Reinstall mods

[knotty marlin]

😆 did that 20x today… I lost everything including my mount

[bleak ivy]

could also just be the filter

[wise kindle]

You restarted the game before readding the mods?

[knotty marlin]

Mousers killed my lvl 200 flyer

[wise kindle]

Not sure how you lose them when the game isnt running

[bleak ivy]

they are having a different issue

[knotty marlin]

Got stuck in lag… and died and dc’d

[wise kindle]

Yeah im pretty sure she responding to the wrong person

[knotty marlin]

My server did an update yesterday… it’s modded
When I log I can’t even move

[somber arrow]

Anyone found a way to increase tick rate of servers?

[bleak ivy]

do you mean reduce lag or actually speed up the server?

[near hawk]

if the speed of the things happening in the server use the slomo command

[molten nimbus]

Why does the loading on server PvE or pvp take so long anyone know how to speed up loading on game time

[near hawk]

ASE?

[molten nimbus]

Yeah

[near hawk]

gonna assume u on the aquatica version, just switch to preaquatica beta

[molten nimbus]

How to switch

[near hawk]

on steam library, right click ark, go to properties, go to betas and select preaquatica beta

[autumn hornet]

for asa, there's a console command. it's smth simple like NetTickSpeed. for ase, i have a whole guide that works really well

[calm viper]

I want to start a server for 10 people, I am brand new to server setup, so I need some help. What provider should I use, and how would I add mods to it? This is for ASA, and it needs to be crossplay. I play on PC through microsoft.

[peak lotus]

Help me sever legit ARK Mobile

[vast pebble]

Same with me, anyone else experiencing this? Insane lag after running smoothly for weeks and no changes except the recent update….

[toxic hazel]

-ServerTickRate= add to start commands, put the rate you want in it

[west wigeon]

Mine ended up being someone left creatures breeding and it was a mess of creatures

[vast pebble]

Dang we already checked that

[reef thistle]

Anyone know if there is a way to rcon game time?

[timid radish]

Does anyone know why the game crashes when opening the inventory? I'm playing on PS5. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[dusky zephyr]

Anyone know if Ascended accepts HTTPS for dynamic configs? The wiki says you must use HTTP, but that could be remnants from ASE and finding an HTTP web host is not really a thing anymore.

[golden nest]

Ark communicates over UDP, cannot have encryption. It's all config files anyway, there's no reason to worry about man in the middle attacks.

[golden nest]

Become your own HTTP web host and you won't need to worry about it, point it to a local http server

[dusky zephyr]

Ok, now I just gotta figure out how to do that, lol

[golden nest]

You've got this!

[calm viper]

Can anyone help me here?

[autumn hornet]

as far as providers, it just depends on which one has what you're looking for at the right price. best way to do it is host a free dedi if you have a spare pc with a decent cpu and ram. the server config wiki.gg has all the info you need for how to add mods and config your server. however, if you go with a server host, third parties have their own interface for server configs and they usually have guides on how to use it

[calm viper]

I will have to use a host, so which one would be the best for ~10 people?

[queen crow]

If you're talking about ascended, your only option as far as I know is Nitrado. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they have exclusivity on hosting.

[near hawk]

u can still selfhost a dedicated server on your own machine, or a virtual pc

[calm viper]

thank you guys

[deep stone]

Does anyone have experience interpreting server crash logs that could give me some guidance? I have a server that was restored from a backup and it crashes when I spawn in.

[eternal jolt]

Okay - Turbo dumb question. What the heck is the difference between ASA and ASE besides graphics remastering for ASA

[dire spruce]

Hey probably a silly question, but any idea how i can make the dedicated server open it's terminal/console inside Windows Terminal instead of a separate conhost window?

not sure if it's the right channel sorry lol

[elder fox]

Any way to change camera height default? Like server side so it’s not in our chests lol

[queen crow]

That would be nice.

[heavy bough]

Hi guys, how do you manage the .arklog and .arktrade files which are generated now while servers are running ? They appeared with Valguero's release. I'm tired of deleting hundreds of .arklog files each time I stop my servers. I keep .arktrade files which are less numerous because I'm afraid they have some importance.

If someone found a way to get rid of them, please let me know 😅

[calm matrix]

cron job / scheduled task depending on platform, couple of lines of bash/powershell to pull the list of files & delete any older than x minutes

Used to do this back on ASE to keep everything cleaned up & copy a backup of the save files to external storage

[reef thistle]

Does anyone know if it's confirmed rcon gettime doesn't work with ASA?

[halcyon fractal]

can someone help ive been stuck on this loading for like 30 minutes why wont it load its called primalgamedata_BP

[sinful solar]

Anyone else do the most recent patch and now servers won't start?

[iron current]

Yes, same for me. Updated server and now it doesn't start anymore.

[heady basalt]

anyone use astraeos mythological creatures ever seen a cyclops saddle BP? is it in the pool or got to add it manually?

[near hawk]

ask in nekatus discord

[edgy pasture]

Im having the same issue

[sinful solar]

Everyone that has said they are having the same issue also are members of the CS discord page. I’m wondering if it is their update that did it and not the Ark patch. We did both at the same time.

[coarse ocean]

I am new to this and am using Acekorneya image; having the same issue. Is that related? 🙂

[sinful solar]

We use Ace Korneya, also

[edgy pasture]

Ahh it could be, I did get a message in my API log referring to an AppID. Weird thing is it didnt match the Mod ID

[sinful solar]

Interesting

[edgy pasture]

Here's the message: Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 2399830

[iron current]

AppID 2399830 is Ark: SA on Steam

I also use Acekoneya's server script

[sinful solar]

I’ve posted in that discord. We’ll see what happens.

[iron current]

I tried to start the server without CS, but it also does not startup.

[halcyon fractal]

And before you say anything about drivers or verifying the files i did all of that thrice

[coarse ocean]

I created a new instance of TheIsland and it's also stuck on a log-less loop. It just keeps repeating LogMemory: Physical Memory: 3091.07 MB used, which obviously means that it is stuck somewhere and not fully loaded.

[sinful solar]

We get that error. So the patch did something to the script.

Again. lol

[coarse ocean]

Google's Pro 2.5 LLM is telling I that it might be a Proton issue 🤦‍♂️ Maybe it is true, maybe not. It then provided I some CLI parameters that didn't work 🙂

[iron current]

I will give up for today. Tried increasing vm.max_map_count and tried to update the image, but still does not startup.

[edgy pasture]

Wonder if rolling back the server version will help?

[hasty trout]

How does one change the max level of the ghost dinos in the Fear Ascended, our server has max level of 300, the ghosts only spawn in at 150 max level.

[coarse ocean]

I believe that it would, as a temporary solution. I have directed my aim to update proton to GE-25 by altering game scripts. I'll update you on how that works out...

[edgy pasture]

Hope so. I'm doing it atm. Will let you know how it goes!

[celest halo]

remove the added dll's and it starts up with proton 9

Added ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/steamclient.dll (19.61 MiB)

[coarse ocean]

@edgy pasture This seems to be the solution! I am up and running.

[celest halo]

what one of them 6 is doing it not sure and not testing them all 😂

but they all new with the 74.24 update

[sinful solar]

You rock!!! It worked for us, also.

[celest halo]

they all related to steam, so who know what it might break by them not being there

but server starts and runs lol

youll also have to make sure your start script dont do a validate before starting the server or it will just download them again 🤣

[slow ginkgo]

Im also using a script that detects updates and triggers after a graceful shutdown. Over the last week i can see in my script console steamcmd runs the update and there is no errors, but at server launch it is still booting the previous version. Anyone experiencing similar?

[edgy pasture]

I will give this a go

[deep stone]

My servers are running CS, and all loaded fine.

[edgy pasture]

This worked for me also. Thank you so much!

[wanton quiver]

Does anyone have an idea how to enable building in the aberration portal area in ASA? I tried to set bIgnoreStructuresPreventionVolumes=True both in game.ini and gus.ini and enabled pve cave building

[celest halo]

Size of the download don't matter you still need almost the amount free that the game takes up for it to make copy's and patch the files the update changes

[celest halo]

Nice, don't effect me though I don't use any public available scripts or proton CE, I use normal proton right from steam and my own Ansible playbooks

[quaint quail]

Hey, we had a late night investigation session on my installer and came to the same conclusion/fix. Any details on what that Steamclient library is doing in there though? Removing just steamclient64.dll is enough to do the trick, but I was wondering why they added it.

[celest halo]

It WC I don't even think they know why they do the things they do half the time 😂

[buoyant obsidian]

guys do u know what if i try to join server its infinity loading then say connection timeout then that i already join

[rich silo]

These updates almost daily annoy the heck out of me because I spend 5 to 6 hours patching on steam. Is there no way to speed it up? The only way I patch now is leave the computer on over night with a shut down timer. (Pity steam don't have an uption to shutdown computers after a game is installed but owell) But yeah, anyway to speed this up?

I have an ssd and its the plug-in ones that go into the motherboard.

[golden nest]

It shouldn't take five hours. Chances are that you're using the same drive for other stuff at the same time.

Either the SSD is going bad, it's capacity is nearly full, or it's a drive you're using alongside other applications.

I'd recommend buying a second SSD specifically for servers only. It doesn't take me more than 15 minutes to update 6 ark servers at once through SteamCMD.

[frail crescent]

I'm getting an older server, with dual Xeon 3.0ghz 12 core(E5-2687W v4), 512GB ram 2400. Will this be manageable for a 6-7 cluster of ASA ?

[sterile brook]

It's not a multiplier, it just ask the number of imprints to 100% so change that to 1 if you want 100% in one go.

[stoic terrace]

My mods don't install, as if there is no internet, but there is. How can I fix this and what should I do?

[full sentinel]

if anyone needs help setting up servers i can setup 90% of all servers within 10 minutes

[jagged garnet]

Step 1: find kaiju mod on curseforge.
Step 2: look in mod link/description for mod ID number (example fear ascended is (877752))
Step 3: go to your launch parameters and add "-mods=" followed by no space and the mod id of the mod you want to add (example fear ascended is -mods=877752)
Extra: if you want to add more than 1 mod simply put a coma "," after the first number followed by the next number with no space.

[jagged garnet]

Gotta be a bit more specific than that. Is it ASA or ASE? are you sure your portforwarding is correct and that your network hasn't seen any changes? Can you see your server in the listing or can nobody see it? Are you timing out? Were you ever able to connect to your server or is this the first time/ fresh setup? There's alot of ways to get a connection error, any bit of info helps identify it.

[jagged garnet]

Sounds like it is a mod causing the leak. If it is making the server unplayable I would recommend the following.
1: make a back up of the server as is and put it to the side somewhere safe (just incase)
2: go through and remove 1 mod at a time starting with the least impact full (ie DONT start with structures/creatures cause they will go poof, although along as you do step 1 you can always copy paste your world data file back in from your back up)
Step 3: rinse and repeat, let the server run with a mod removed and see if it gets a leak until you can determine which mod it is.
Step 4 l: either find an alternative mod/ report it to the mod creator and hope they fix it soon.

[toxic hazel]

Just note its the Project ID you want not the ID in the URL 🙂

[jagged garnet]

Oof, yeah you are bottle necking at your plug ins. The best you can do is a raid0 with nvmes, the worst would be a low rpm HDD. Satas are step above HDDs but below m.2/nvme. Your read speed will determine your loading and file transfer speeds while your write speed will affect your install speeds. Hope that helps explain some. If you want to know more about where your drives sit and possible solutions feel free to ask.

[jagged garnet]

Thank you, for clarifying that, I will update the post for that. Rip steam workshop ids.

[toxic hazel]

Is no problem and I know right! much preferred steam mods

[celest halo]

Read speed effects updates more then write it has to read the files to find where to patch them

[drifting sierra]

Hi i just installed ark on steam after having it on xbox game pass for a while and im trying to download mods it keeps saying the i have no available space for mods when i do. can anyone help me out on what to do

To anyone's servers suffering from Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000091 ASA Ascended Dedicated server crash bootloop/tickloop on either windows or linux/debian, (I'm looking at the one persons post from 2023 in the discord here :P) I believe I've found the issue.

[vale crescent]

i need help with ark survival evolved

[near hawk]

what's up?

[vale crescent]

i have a really bad issue Im playing Ark Survival Evolved Valguero i load in play for 15/20 minutes then i die to a dino i expect to be able to spawn in my bed but for some reason my bed doesnt show up and it only says start new character, im playing single player with mods pc

[near hawk]

list of mod? and are u on aquatica or preaquatica?

does your game have hardcore turnned on?

[vale crescent]

No as I can create a new character it forces me

[vale crescent]

Idk how to check aquatics or pre

[near hawk]

it's the version number in the main, menu. 360 is aquatica, 358 is pre

[vale crescent]

I’m not sure

[near hawk]

that's what hardcore does, it forces u to make a new character each time u die

[vale crescent]

Oh I didn’t know where would I find hardcore

[near hawk]

in the setting before entering a map

[vale crescent]

Is it a tick able box

[near hawk]

yes

[vale crescent]

I’m re downloading game it’s 40 percent done il lyk

[rich silo]

Well what I have noticed when I am patching ASE and ASA my HDD usage is at 100%. But heres the thing. Steam and ASE/ASA isn't installed on the HDD. All are installed on m.2/nvme drives. Which confuses the heck out of me. The one thing I have discovered that works is when I physically plug out the HDD install speed dramatically increases. Once finished I plug it back in but the confusing thing is what one has to do with the other. But I do have games on that HDD which were designed back in the day for HDDs (such as the original starwars battlefront and State of Decay to name a couple)

[near hawk]

Steam just does that sometimes, using the other slower storage devices for no good reason

[celest halo]

Steam prob using it as the download/cache location for the patch files

[vale crescent]

@near hawk

didnt work

[full sentinel]

pause g can i forceibly take myself pre shit?

[near hawk]

what?

[full sentinel]

well their idea of ase dlc you mentioned pre or current

so i can pull a skyrim and force my game version backwards?

[near hawk]

yes

on steam u can

[bleak ivy]

its easier, pre-aquatica is a beta on steam.

[full sentinel]

well nobody would ever actually play it killing their own game both ways is kinda sad

[full sentinel]

this makes me very happy could help people host that way instead to avoid the shit show 🤣

[bleak ivy]

it was added because major mod issues.
if you aren't playing on aquatica basically no reason to be running that build lol

[near hawk]

Snail kill ASE with Aquatica, not WC

[full sentinel]

wildcard doesnt exist its a subcompany of snail now due to the lawsuit we paid for them for with scorched earth hints why ASA is run by a chinese mobile gaming company now

[full sentinel]

it caused the mod issues*

[near hawk]

WC is with snail since like 2016

[full sentinel]

like i said

since the lawsuit we paid for them to try to win

[bleak ivy]

thats not how it works.
snail and wildcard are still separated. they own it yes, but they don't have the entire say of it.

[full sentinel]

thats what scored earth was for

[bleak ivy]

it'd be a lot worse if snail had final say lol

[full sentinel]

you should learn your own company then i should not know more then some moderator

[bleak ivy]

december 2015/jan 2016

[full sentinel]

its only been worse since 2016

[near hawk]

u only enjoyed the first half year?

[bleak ivy]

really hasn't. if you think DLC existing is bad then you should just stop playing ark lol.

[full sentinel]

things have been progressivly downhill

[bleak ivy]

there is no possible way ark was gonna last 10 years on just the main game

[full sentinel]

GTA?

runescape

[bleak ivy]

shark cards. their main money maker

[full sentinel]

world of warcraft swtor final fantasy

[bleak ivy]

they sell things.

you are naming games that have DLC lol

[full sentinel]

indeed

like ark had then they went and made mistakes

[bleak ivy]

none of those ever changed ownership. they were all the plan

[full sentinel]

wow did

swtor did

swtor got worse and better at the same time

[bleak ivy]

those started out with paid monthly...

[full sentinel]

minecraft if you really wanna say something

conans done better even

[bleak ivy]

again DLCs. minecraft is really the only one but now they have the marketplace on bedrock. and plenty of DLC throughout its console time.

[full sentinel]

worse yet i support ark as an idea more now then a game it was good but you guys messed up bigtime

this is coming from someone who gifted the game to more then 20 people included scorched earth

[bleak ivy]

can always stop playing it lol.

lets get back on the channel's topic

[full sentinel]

you were put in your place all i care for your welcome to lose an debate next time find more relevant information or learn more about the company then speak goodday

[near hawk]

how is that a win, pumpkin is just doing his job as a mod

[brave aspen]

Tried that even with a fresh wipe it’s still doing it it’s only modded maps that we are having issues with all the base game maps are fine. The two maps only stay up for a minute or two then go right back down they take 40 minutes to get out of the ticking loop svartal and astreaos are the only maps that have the issues

[jagged garnet]

Hmm, I dont know what to rcommend then other than validate files. My astreos map has been fine but It doesnt have any mods other than the fear ascended. best of luck tho.

[gleaming hound]

Unofficial mods are not downloading. What should I do?

[golden nest]

Are you using -mods=<mod id> from curseforge in your command line?

[gleaming hound]

When I log in to the server, I download mods

[silver thistle]

Are u running a nitrado server or single player
.

Also anyone running admin panel the mods being discontinued.

[hollow rampart]

Hey on my server plant spieces z fruit not work when you want use left mosue button

any ide what i must change on ini or this is broken

bcs ppl can't tame yi ling

[brave aspen]

validating didn't work but i'm going uninstall and re install the maps and see if that fixes it

[toxic hazel]

If you have issues with svartal, you could also see if the mod owner is aware of mem leaks for it, cant as much with astraeos as its now offical and no mods needed

[rose lark]

Any one having gigas way over spawn on the island and sometimes rag since the fear ascended started

[neat stag]

Happy friday everyone, anyone know how to get custom paintings working with dedicated server? I've found a few suggestions, but none of them seem to be right. If I save a painting it creates the folder \SavedArks\map\ServerPaintingsCache but putting the custom pnt in there never show up even after a server restart , even if I overwrite one of the ones created by saving from in-game. Any pointers would be appreciated

[oak solar]

when are the transfers to valgero open?

[celest halo]

When ever you want them to be

[fresh summit]

I've reinstalled the game 4 times today, deleted mod folders , deleted every folder , and redownloaded the game yet i still cant install fear ascended as no "mod storage"
WHAT DO I DO

** STEAM**

[toxic hazel]

Go to your mods folder (client) and delete everything, oh wait you said you did this lol

Had this the other day and doing this fixed it for me

[oblique yarrow]

did it work im having the same issue with my ps5

[brave aspen]

nope

[manic tendon]

Anyway to increase the club ark reward points ? Like a multiplayer or something

can you still activate fear evolved on single plaer ase

[near hawk]

not fully

[reef thistle]

Anyone know the rcon command for retrieving server time?

[pulsar raft]

Anyone else having problems downloading stuff from ark data to another server on same cluster. Keeps crashing. Month ago it was fine and now isnt.

[golden nest]

Opposite problem here. There just aren't enough gigas, takes about 4-5 hours for one to appear. It's pretty annoying

[hot crown]

Anybody have any suggestions. Unofficial server and the wyvern spawns on rag are BROKEN. I'm talking clusters of 50-60 in several places in the snow. And not just ice wyverns. All of them. There was 15 alpha skeletal wyverns in one spot. I've done several dino wipes. Not sure how to fix it.

[wise kindle]

Use a spawn blocker mod or edit your inis to decrease spawn rates/weights.

[hot crown]

Even if this just started and the server has been going since rag release? If it were the spawn rates/weights wouldn't this have been an issue before? It started with the fear ascended event so I'm wondering if its bugged for us

[wise kindle]

It is the mod, you can remove it to mitigate if needed.

[royal valve]

Not sure where to ask this, but does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement mod for "Admin Panel" by WolfeModding which they just took down?

[wise kindle]

Search up "Awesome Ark tools" mod, it has some high praise

[royal valve]

At first glance it does look pretty impressive, if a bit less intuitive. Thanks!

I´m having trouble joining a private session in Ark survival Evolved Island Patch 360.35. We are two in the same household that are trying to play together. It´s been a few months sience we played and it worked fine - now it dos´nt.
Can anyone help?

[jagged garnet]

I would place a spawn limit on the zom wyvs. I believe it has to do with regular wyv spawns work by setting each wyv to a 33% limit of the spawn slots. But with each wyv having a chance to be a zom then the zoms add to the overall count and therefore the regular wyvs will never hit the 33% quota cause 10%+ of the spawn is zoms so even with equal distribution the regular wyvs will really only take up less than 30% which the game then keeps trying to spawn more till they are over that 33%.

Id add the limit to the wyv spawns and it can be removed after the event.

[pallid vault]

What do I need to put in my nitrado config to enable all custom cosmetics? None of them are working right now.

[wise kindle]

Hi

Remove the customcosmetics ini line of code

[rose lark]

There’s a setting in general to turn on also

[wise kindle]

It works best without it

Remove
CustomCosmeticWhitelist specifically
Its no longer needed and just messes things up

[pallid vault]

Ok so the setting in nitrado itself should be enough now?

[wise kindle]

I dont believe it is.
I believe its something you add in your ini - if you never added it, then you have a different issue

[pallid vault]

In the gameusersettings.ini I just have this: bDisableCustomCosmetics=False
And the setting itself is turned off. Is that correct?

[wise kindle]

Thats fine.

What cosmetic isnt showing?

[pallid vault]

I just updated it to this. I'll see if it fixed it. It was every mod I've purchased, so I assume I changed something that blocked the official whitelist somehow.

Nope, didn't work. 🙁 Some are working, but everything I"ve purchased isn't.

[wise kindle]

Do other players have the same issue or is it only your account?

[pallid vault]

Oh wait, they are now, it just took a while to load after I logged in. I think I'm ok now. TY

Can I remap and change mod Dino spawns etc using Beacon? Specifically having spawn issues with one mod. I’ve never messed with spawns before but I’d like to try and fix it. I know I can edit existing spawns for vanilla dinos but not sure about mods.

[wise kindle]

Unless the modder has posted spawn container info, you are kinda stuck.

[safe scroll]

Which is unlikely to say the least. So best I could do is create completely new spawns,

[wise kindle]

Yep.
Tho if you are currently running the Fear Ascended node, its likely blocking some spawns and will probably fix issues if you remove it.

[safe scroll]

It fixed one, the other the mod author stated he knows spawns are busted. Appreciate your response!

I’m looking at Sunity Hosting for an ARK server, but I’m not sure if it’s even real. They claim fast servers, crossplay, DDoS protection, and mod support — but does anyone actually know if it works?

If the mod or anyone else can, please answer — is Sunity Hosting legit?

[wise kindle]

They are referencing the wrong mod host for asa, so my guess is they dont know the game.
Likely a scam tbh.

[royal valve]

On Xbox, my server won't show in the server list even though it shows for people on PS5. I can connect via console command but I can't transfer my survivor within my cluster because no servers show in the transmitter. Any ideas for a possible solution? I am self-hosting.

been struggling for a few days now setting up a dedicated server for ASE, trying to use playitgg for tunneling for one of my friends to join, cant seem to get it working and the server keeps saying timed out when trying to join

[fair ore]

Is anyone know if the problème for add more creature in your world and then you can’t launch your world solo is normal

[warped python]

trying to figure out if we have a mod conflict(we just installed immersive taming), a player that's trolling and putting tames on aggressive and then unclaiming..
or if something's changed in ASA fear ascended vs ASE fear evolved..

we have unclaimed aggressive zomdodos running around on almost all batches with mousers. is that normal for ASA fear ascended?
in ASE fear evolved after killing dodorex, zomdodos became passive and unclaimed.

[reef thistle]

Anyknow know if killplayer is a valid rcon command? 🤔

[warped python]

update: tested in single player.. apparently in ASA the zomdodos stay passive until provoked. you can still claim them, but they do become aggressive..
loads of server heavy zomdodo vs mouser fights everywhere on the map after killing dodorex

[gloomy cloak]

Would anyone know what would cause an exorbitantly high ping?

[short marten]

Ok guys how do I fix this I'm on PS5 n after the game crashed last night it says I don't have enough space to erase mods done it dindt work I've also deleted the app n redownloaded it twice still same does anyone kw how to fix

[spice tendon]

to be fair its only server heavy when you render in those areas. so 99% of those fights aren't actually happening and when it is, its not much different than any other wild creature fight

[compact goblet]

is there a way to disable crypod decay timers without mod?

[untold turtle]

Is anyone else having an issue where when they die there is no bag to claim? Even if there's still a corpse there just is no inventory to reclaim. Is there a fix for that?

[reef thistle]

I added max levels, but i forgot to add engrams with those levels. Anyone knowledgeable enough to know what I'm missing?
Last line is ExperiencePointsForLevel[398]=3653904200)

[severe widget]

I need help and i dont know any further im playing on a non dedicatet server with a friend and and most of the engramms from other maps (like oil pump and gas collector) are like not available fpr me and are black, only my friend can make them bc he is the host probably i bought every thing on asa so can someone help me there if theres anything

[coarse ocean]

Hey, y'all. What settings do I need in the ini files to make it so non-tribe members cannot access storages and cryofridges? PvE Dedicated server. Thanks! (Figured it out: the bForceAllStructureLocking and ForceAllStructureLocking are not the same thing)

[frozen atlas]

Hello, I'd like to replace the ice wyvern spawn with the poison wyvern spawn, but I can't find the ice wyvern ID for ASA.

[coarse ocean]

I didn't look tooooo hard, but did you try: "Wyvern_Character_BP_Ice_C" or "Wyvern_Character_BP_Ice.Wyvern_Character_BP_Ice" ?

[stone gust]

Does anyone have good npc ini files where they are bit more powerful , riding dragons , iron flask bases protect with plant turrets and they actually attack

[simple current]

Hmmm server won't seem to reset or restart even after stopping it it just won't go down

[coarse ocean]

I am looking at this app (Bea*con) and it says that there is an ID for spawn weight adjustment, and it's just Wyvern for both Fire, Ice, and Poison Wyverns. Maybe it's a location-based spawn within the engine. I don't know any more.

[toxic hazel]

Try NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Ragnarok_Wyvern_Override_Ice_C",ToClassName="Wyvern_Character_BP_Poison_C")

[warped python]

Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the amount of tek bunkers per tribe? Default is only 3 and similar to a lot of other "patreon" servers, mine's one with a single pve tribe with all discord members who are mostly builders wanting to get their hand on the new build structure..

[coarse ocean]

Here is what I have: GameUserSettings.ini:
LimitBunkersPerTribe=True
LimitBunkersPerTribeNum=4
There are other configs for bunkers, too.

[warped python]

wow, that simple? thank you very much, also from the community 😉 !!

[lofty quail]

Am I blind or is the patch notes channel gone?

Nvm I somehow hid it. Didn't know that was a thing.

[toxic hazel]

Yee in community servers you can choose what you want to see now in the channels and roles area 😛

[compact goblet]

It means you need to download the other maps. Like scorched to get scorched engrams

Omg i didnt realize that neither knew that thank you made my day better❤️

[rose lark]

hey guys ever since the val launch my stacks have been messed up on val and extinction i just started to get into this stuff where would i find this?

[untold mason]

Ok, I have finally got my ded-seevers working on the internet. Had issues with portforwarding because of my modem had a router in between that and the server. Forgot that fact lol. Now I want to enable rcon and see about getting that working. So here is my question. I saw where it sais to use a port number 27020. Do I need a unique number for each server running a map?

[coarse ocean]

Yes. Your servers in a cluster share an IP addy, and differentiate between each other by Port number.

[coarse ocean]

In the server's GameUserSettings.ini is this setting, under [ServerSettings]:
ItemStackSizeMultiplier=1
1 = say, a 20 stack of O-poly. =2 would be 40 O-Poly per stack. If the = value is different between servers, you will have inconsistency.

[rose lark]

alright im going to have to look. so items stacking are singular? i usually have mutton stack to 1k and they are stacking to 1

same with honey and kibble to 400

Hi guys im playing valguero right now and trying to get some rock drake eggs but i was in the radiation zone right now but there are nobrock drkaes or nests doe any one know what could be tge problem

Looking for someone to help with 3D assets and modding. DM me if you have one or more of these abilities please!

[raven reef]

Does anyone know if ASA changed the way specific dino stat leveling works in the Game.ini file?

Im specifically talking about like
"PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamedQuetz_Character_BP_C[7]=1.5"

which apparently worked in ASE as of early 2023, but does not work in ASA. And the alternative of writing it like this:

"PerLevelStatsMultiplier_DinoTamed[8]=(ClassName="Quetz_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=1.5)"

forces the game to delete the line from the .ini file and replace it with the standard one affecting all creatures.

I know that we can modify the base speed of specific classes of creatures, as well as damage and resistances, etc, but Im specifically looking only to change the rates at which certain stats level up on specific dino classes.

Im fairly certain I remember being able to do so in ASE. Like 95% certain. Im just wondering if it came later, and when they resorted to the OG build of the source code on starting ASA (when it reintroduced all those old bugs like flyers loving 50,50 coords or getting stuck in the air with 0 stamina), if it erased that as an option for server configurations.

[elder fox]

How do I increase tribe tame limit again?

[coarse ocean]

I haven't tested these, but try out these in Game.ini:
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Honey_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=400,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=400,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

[hazy osprey]

So- is it normal for a tent to just- disappear- and everything inside while your away?

Im playing on ps4, no assended or anything
I will admit i havent played in a long time and started playing again

And when i died and logged off for a bit, i came back- made my way back to my spawn- and my tent was gone-

[jagged garnet]

This is everybody's reminder.... please please please make a back up drive with your server data. I just had a drive failure and now gotta drive across the country to see if I just lost everything. Hopefully my RAID worked and or its just the m2.2 card thats failed. Drive failure is rare especially with modern NVMEs but the chance is never 0% Back up your stuff.

[sudden hearth]

My biggest fear

[jagged garnet]

"It will never happen to me." - Me apperantly

[sudden hearth]

I should probably store a backup in cloud something occasionally after hearing your story

I hope you can get everything back

[jagged garnet]

Thats what I am debating doing now. A RAID drive is nice in the event of a spontaneous failure But I could set up a periodic cloud back up. Man I completely rewrote the ENTIRE loot system for EVERY map, balanced spawns and rates... all may be gone... 10years of fine tuning...

[sudden hearth]

I’m sorry that sucks

[slow ginkgo]

hey guys, anyone got any insight? - If update is auto detected my update script is triggered but steamcmd update fails; but if i manually run the update bat the update goes through fine without issue... steamCMD win11

[jagged garnet]

But I think the worst feeling is that there are players out there from my cluster that I dont have any way to contact who never joined the Discord and thus they dont know why the servers are down 🙁

[sudden hearth]

Hopefully they go digging and find the discord

[dark nymph]

Hola, me llamo Oliver. Hace poco descargué Ark: Survival Ascended de Steam, pero no se abre. Se bloquea y la pantalla se pone negra, y no vuelve a abrirse. Sin embargo, si lo ejecuto desde los archivos del juego, sí se abre, pero no funciona en Steam. Cabe mencionar que antes lo tenía en Xbox Game Pass y podía jugarlo sin problemas, pero desde que lo descargué en Steam, no se abre. Mis otros juegos funcionan bien; solo Ark no se abre. También tengo Windows 11 Pro. Como dato adicional, pude instalarlo y jugarlo en Steam, pero en ese entonces tenía Windows 10 Pro.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it countless times, but nothing fixes the problem.

I recently downloaded Ark: Survival Ascended from Steam, but it won't open. It freezes, the screen goes black, and it won't open again. However, if I run it from the game files, it does open, but it doesn't work on Steam. It's worth mentioning that I previously had it on Xbox Game Pass and could play it without any issues, but since downloading it from Steam, it won't open. My other games work fine; only Ark won't open. I also have Windows 11 Pro. As an additional note, I was able to install and play it on Steam, but at that time I was using Windows 10 Pro.

[tacit condor]

Hello 🙂 so we have a cluster between Lost City and Astreos and I put my items and dinos in the transmitter per usual, however when I go to travel to another server it gives me a "Attempting server travel, this will cancel your transfer connection, are you sure? and it takes you to a main menu but when I try to join Astreos I don't see my survivor uploaded and it won't even let me make a new character to spawn in. What setting issue would this be?? in terms of cluster

[lost canopy]

Can a VPS run an Ark map/server without any problems?

[toxic hazel]

Ya, how well depends the resources you get on it

[lost canopy]

I was looking at something like this. Is it enough for a map with some mods and space for 20 players? From OVH
6 vCore

Memory
12 GB RAM

Storage
100 GB SSD NVMe

[lost canopy]

Some people say it could go well, others say it will be terrible. I really don't know what to think.

[toxic hazel]

You'll very much likely need more ram then that, one map can use up to 22GB depending on the map/mods, I would not trust 12GB, space is like 20-40GB per map too, think cores is suggested 2 per map on the wiki

[celest halo]

I wouldn't for 20 players, I use 2 cores 20gb ram and 100gb storage vms for 3-5 players

[lost canopy]

So, what's the most economical way to get started with a map/server?

[edgy cove]

Hey, does the AdminListURL is working for you?
I was setting it up month before with the local file.
After it being broke I switched to hosting it. But since 3 updates it is also stopped working

[lost canopy]

People speak highly of Dathost, but it has lag issues like almost all hosts, I imagine.

[toxic hazel]

Yeah they stopped hosting it locally it seems

[celest halo]

I don't use vps/hosting sites so don't know who's good or not

[toxic hazel]

I know a lot of people are using OVH in another DC im in, seems most popular

[celest halo]

I haven't played in like 2 months so not sure if mine is still working or not

[toxic hazel]

If you use the File prefix it no longer works hehe

[edgy cove]

But using https URL also seems not to work for me(hosting it locally).
Does it have to be accessible via the internet?

[toxic hazel]

Needs to be http I believe

[celest halo]

I don't, I have a local webserver I been using for ark admin list and dynamic config since ASE days

[toxic hazel]

Yeah I move to that after this update change xD

Others use github/pastebin

[celest halo]

Local hosting https gets tricky if you don't have normal certs that are not self singed, or unless you know how to set up a ca and make it all trusted by the comp running the dedicated server

[whole nexus]

so im running a nitrado server with a tribe of 2 and 4 maps installed. Currently we upload at an OB and shut down the server, switch maps, restart, and download the survivor and play. Problem is that there is a disconnect of the tribe data. Each map we have to force join the tribe. What am i doing wrong and how can i fix the tribe issue without havening to run more servers. Oh and setting up a cluster failed due to the map you want to move to is not running.

[toxic hazel]

If your not in a tribe on a new server one needs to be created anyway, they are not cross cluster

[edgy cove]

https was working for month after they remove the file prefix.
Just tested http also not working.
I will go on and test a public hosting of the file.
Just to be sure the URL needs to be enclosed in double quotes, right?

[toxic hazel]

Yes to quotes

[whole nexus]

before moving to nitrado from windows we had it working so all we had to do was quit the map we were on, shut the server down, change maps start the server and log in and we would spawn right where we were the last time we played that map.

[toxic hazel]

If you had already made a tribe and joined it, when you swapped maps to it it should be fine but if its not then not sure and if its new new, one needs to be made to join

[whole nexus]

so on the win server when we did a map for the very first time we would upload then download and the admin would send me an invite and we are in the same tribe. once done we never had to do it again. we could just switch maps. currently the admin can move between the island and rag with the server map swap only no upload no download no force tribe but thats it only one map one player seamless change

[toxic hazel]

Ive advised all I can, soz

[whole nexus]

thank you 🙂

[stone gust]

Are there any good working color mods out there at the moment

And does some of you have ini setups for human. Npc mod so they are more strong to defeat

[echo pecan]

This channel is for discussion about unofficial (or single player) server setup.

[exotic ibex]

How many Dino mods can a ps5 hold?

[glacial anchor]

for some reason i CANNOT get my asa server to show up. idk if im missing something basic but its just not working for me. im going to assume that port fowarding is fine since ive been running ase servers for quite a while with no issues

[toxic hazel]

Try updating your amazon certs, ports wont affect it showing

Or make sure you got the filter correct ingame, I usually set everything to all

[glacial anchor]

amazon certs?

[toxic hazel]

Ya amazon certs, think it says which in the wiki

[glacial anchor]

which wiki page do i need to be?

[toxic hazel]

The dedicated server one

Think its pinned

[glacial anchor]

in this chat?

[toxic hazel]

Where else lel

[glacial anchor]

i downloaded a manager that has brings certs with it but its still not showing

should i just not use a manager then?

[toxic hazel]

It should still show up, manager shouldn't affect that, whats the server called?

[glacial anchor]

oh its not running anymore

hold on

its started up now and its called "an island of dodos"

its on the island

[toxic hazel]

Its showing

[glacial anchor]

IT IS?

not for me

[toxic hazel]

Got password box checked etc?

I dm you screenshot

[solid smelt]

idk if this is where I post but every time I open the game with windowed full screen in my native resolution my game will freze and i will have to task manager close it as when I try to force close it on steam it doesnt work

[broken stream]

Hey everyone
how do you disable/remove the Fear Ascended mod/event on an unofficial server?
And if I remove it, will players lose their items or skins from the event?

Thanks a lot!

[near hawk]

just remove the mod id from the launch paramters, player will keep their stuff

[glacial anchor]

what is the base max level wild dinos on a unofficial server?

(asa)

i want the max to be 150 but i cant tell what its on like i used to in ase

[near hawk]

the set up is the same

depends on your DifficultyOffset

[zealous robin]

any1 got any ideas on why osd or viens on astreos might not spawn as commonly/slowly compaired to offcial

[woven schooner]

Hey everyone, I really need some help because this is driving me crazy. I’m hosting a non-dedicated session on ARK: Survival Evolved to play with my friend through Steam, but every time he tries to join, he gets the message connection timeout. We have tried so many different things already but nothing seems to fix it. Does anyone know the main reasons or the best solutions for this issue when inviting a friend through Steam on a non-dedicated server? It’s been happening constantly and it’s making it really hard to just play normally. Any help would be super appreciated.

[terse marlin]

Looking for a little unofficial server help. Anyone know of an issue with the dodowyvern I should pay attention to? We were able to fight it once last year, but never spawned again last year or this one.

[cyan onyx]

Is anyone else getting the not enough space error when trying to update mods on ps5? I am nowhere near the 30gb limit and it keeps saying I dont have space.

[unborn gate]

hey anyone got any idea why my baby maturing speed and imprint settings are still default on my own hosted server? i have them both changed to increase the speeds inside the ini file but it does nothing

[brave aspen]

I host one as well and I had that issue last year and this year as well I’m still trying to figure it out while I work on this memory leak issue I have going on as well if I figure it out I’ll let you know

[open arrow]

Oddly on EX red and purples OSDs wont spawn... playing in slomo 1000 and nothing for 5days
also cant spawn one.... my guess is corrupted server file so i'll reinstall the server but OSDs seem off on my cluster after the major update 2weeks back

[tidal cosmos]

Is using passive mods still necessary or to end the event but still retain skins and other rewards is it ok to just remove the mod?

The information on this is a bit lacking, has anyone tried with fear evolved already?

[toxic hazel]

Only remove the mod when files have been merged, WC should advise when they have, if not it is trial and error, so keep it enabled AND on passive untill then

[tidal cosmos]

The fact is that they haven't announced it in quite a while for the past events

[toxic hazel]

I know right

[tidal cosmos]

What do you guys usually do? Wait a few months?

[toxic hazel]

Wait for others to try and confirm so i dont have to go through the hasssle of testing lol

If you want to test, take backups, remove said mod, and restore backup if you lose stuff, and add mod back too obvsly

[tidal cosmos]

Yeah it will have to be something like that unfortunately, kinda sucky
I don't like the passive mod thing but oh well, thanks for responding though 🙂

[hollow inlet]

Hello 🙂 Somebody with nitrado server here? Just wanna ask if there is a checkbox to "keep event cosmetics" e.g. after removing fear ascended. Items still there but the cosmetics (holiday) folder is always RIP after removing a mod. A player mentioned nitrado offers a option to prevent this. So means, there must be something for the INI?

[jagged garnet]

Anyone else reporting crazy lag/frame drop isolated to the green obi on the center

[sudden hearth]

i cant get event dinos to spawn on my cluster i have the event enabled

and spawn commands work just not wild

[worldly mantle]

Hi, I'm trying to open my own Ark: Asa server. I've already set it up, but it doesn't show up on Steam when I search for it. Could someone guide me on why it's not appearing?

[celest halo]

its never going to show up on steam, use the in-game server browser

[worldly mantle]

I know, it has to appear on an unofficial server. I tried it, I entered all the addresses and everything, opened ports, etc., but it still doesn't show up. I don't know if it's a problem with my router.

I don't know if someone could lend me a hand via Discord and I'll send them screenshots 🙁

When I go to a website to check if the ports are open, it says they are closed. I opened them in the firewall and added them to my router, but nothing changed; they still appear as closed on the website.

I was looking through the GPT chat to see if I could find any help, and it says it might be my internet provider's router that has me under CG-NAT or the WAN firewall.

[compact goblet]

do we set fear ascended to passive or remove it?

[royal epoch]

Did the same to me recently something with your ports

Is not set right

Does it show up on arks side

[toxic hazel]

Ports or being on CGNAT wont affect it showing, try updating your certs, gimme the server name to check if you want

[steel gull]

my server wont allow me or my friend to join it keeps saying lost/timeout connection, is there a fix for this?

[toxic hazel]

Sounds like you need to open your firewall and potentially port forward if not done that as well

[steel gull]

at the risk of sounding a little dumb, how do i do that?

[toxic hazel]

Google is your friend, he will know

[steel gull]

i always forget about that guy! haha

[steel gull]

sorted thank you!!

[toxic hazel]

Happy daysss 🙂 Was no problemo

[glacial jewel]

Does anyone here know how to disable auto updates so i can make a weekly update for my nitrado server so i dont have to deal with these large patches that my friends and i have to deal with

[near hawk]

we only had 1 server update this week

also no

[latent coral]

Is anyone using APIs able to get the server live after the update?

[rigid ore]

my sister and I have been playing ark on my non-dedicated server for about a week now. For some reason, it closes Ark completely after she gets loaded in every single time. I've invited her a dozen different times and nothing as changed. Im using PC Gamepass and she is on Xbox.

i can share with u a spreadsheet that auto calculates al raising and imprinting times

[acoustic charm]

Just finished valguero on an unofficial server. Downloaded all our items and creatures into the obelisk to move to rag. Made it to rag with our characters. Walked to an obelisk and saw all our items in there like normal. Game crashed and now when logging in I have to make a new character and my old character isn't on the list. Did I lose everything?

[verbal vortex]

Yeah

How does one spawn non-native creatures onto maps? Say a maeguana from astreos to the island via INI editting?

[tight cedar]

Hello All, im needing some assistance and have ran out of places to look and ask
You see my problem is that only one of my friends can join my unofficial dedicated ark sever, the server appears in the lists, weve checked ports, my firewalls are set proper, the server is up and stable and joinable, i can join from my pc and the one other friend that can join is on Xbox so we know cross play is working
Heres the issue, Me and Him are the only ones who CAN join. Everyone else cannot get in they are hit with timeout issues. Ive Double checked everything, my friends have double checked everything. Ports, Firewalls, Whitelisting, literally everything any guide says we have tried and has not worked.
Is ther anything anyone knows that can be done to solve this issue?

[hasty fossil]

hey guys quick question , I wanna host ark se server so that my friends can join without me joining . Anyone knows how?

[dim violet]

Can someone help me set up my ark server?

[golden nest]

Remove the whitelists to start.

If only two of you can join the server (assuming your on separate networks), then have your other friends verify the arkascended.exe is an allowed app through Windows

[fickle nebula]

So when my friend try’s to join my server it doesn’t work but when I join his it work what gives?

[honest goblet]

Hello everyone! Please help me. I can't reset the game settings correctly. I deleted GameUsersSettings.ini and Game.ini, but the settings didn't change.

[ebon quest]

When I click join on the server with a server selected I click join and nothing happens I'm wondering if there is sum kinda fix or something someone can walk me through

Dm me

[fossil wind]

Greetings, everyone.

I’m hoping someone can help me with an issue I’ve been experiencing. I have a dedicated ASA server running on my PC that I use to play with my nephew from time to time. When I start the server and the client, I set the server’s priority to High and configure the CPU affinity so that the server uses 2 cores (4 threads) and the client uses 6 cores (12 threads), keeping them separated. I’m using a 9800X3D.

Everything runs fine for a few minutes, but then (seemingly at random) the CPU affinity resets. I have to tab out to Task Manager and set it manually again.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

[golden nest]

Use an application called Process Lasso from Bitsum

Been using for years and it's helped immensely.

[fossil wind]

Thank you very much for the reply.
Yes, I know about that application, but this issue wasn’t happening before. I always have the task manager open on another monitor, and I recently noticed that the affinity resets and I get more load on the “server cores” than I should.
I thought it might be a change in battleye or something in unreal engine that the developers migrated the game to, so it made me curious and I thought it was worth asking.

I appreciate the information, and I will do as you suggested unless something better comes up.
much appreciated.

[golden nest]

Wish you all the best!

If you plan on running a cluster, I'd highly recommend purchasing yourself a Dell PowerEdge to offload all the server work

[fossil wind]

Thank you again.
Actually, I have two ms-a02 servers in a failover hyper-v cluster (each with 128 GB of memory) where I could easily host the server in a matter of minutes (using NUMA to lock it to dedicated cores). But the goal here is just some casual fun. I don’t have others to play Ark with, and my nephew only plays occasionally.

We played a lot of ASE when he was younger, and I thought I would set up an ASA server for old time's sake. This is more of a once or twice a week thing for only 1–2 hours, so running it on demand is much easier. My gaming pc has 64 GB or ram, and (while a server load doesn’t really benefit from 3D cache) the CPU is more than enough for the job.

[toxic hazel]

Third party anti virus can stop people joining to, my mate had to uninstall his to get on my servers

[near hawk]

no

need to be clustered

[final blade]

Highly recommend you double check your router settings for any new AI Protection things, that screwed us and we didn't know it. Oh & somehow my husband's PC was set to private from public. Also try having the person direct connect.

Can't link but if you search blog. Silverpc . Hu that will get you there

[acoustic pier]

the ini options for configurable cryopods arent applying, dont know how to contact the mod author, any advice?

in gameusersettings.ini

[near hawk]

let me check mine

[acoustic pier]

cryo rifle and cryo sickness are not disabled

[near hawk]

oh this is for the mod

[acoustic pier]

yup thats why i originally posted in mod general aha

[near hawk]

oh

[acoustic pier]

sorry shoulda made it a bit clearer

[near hawk]

that makes since

is it the one from shinygati?

the normal or charge version?

[acoustic pier]

yes, normal

[near hawk]

then everthing more or less looks right

did u put that at the bottom of the file?

[acoustic pier]

yup

[cursive rapids]

need help.
i play primal fear and if i shoot an alpha dilophosaur with an tranq dart, after a while his torpor drops 0 again..
Is my ini wrong? and what config does this apply

[verbal vortex]

I mean, if you could find someone willing to detatch from the cluster while you upload then sure. Otherwise youre character and tames are stuck there.

[tight cedar]

I wanna thank those who have responded, I truly appreciate the assistance.
I also wish to state that we have removed the whitelist, double checked my router to ensure there arent any new Ai security protocols, that my server PC is set to public. I will also add that as of now im the only PC player who has attempted to join, the other 3 ( the 1 who can join successfully, and the 2 that cannot) are all on Xbox, so unfortunately directconnect and checking files to ensure the state of them is not an option for them. I will keep these in mind in case we ever run into any issues with other PC players though, the information will certainly come in handy.
I will state that the 2 unlucky console players have done clean re-installs, checked their own nats and ports, and yet still are receiving the "connection timeout" message when attempting to join

[light citrus]

Some of my players are telling me theyre able to download creatures from singleplayer/other servers to my server. I thought this was disabled by default and I've never seen this happen with my previous servers so I'm not even sure exactly how to turn it off, any ideas anyone? ;o;

[pulsar yew]

Anyone know - do you loose the fear evolved event skins when you remove the mod from your server at this point? Would like to keep my ghost direwolf and shark skins, etc.

[near hawk]

no

[pulsar yew]

Ok, perfect! Thanks for the prompt reply

[safe scroll]

Has anyone had issues with dino textures not loading? Dodo, Purlovia, Dildo, to name a few

Hey, anyone wanna help anybody wanna help me make my server rates on nitrodo I don’t know what I am

[limpid torrent]

Need Help For Server Config Ini More specifically Crafting cost willing to pay at this point

Just Dm Ill give all the mods and what it is i had in mind

[verbal vortex]

Nitrado server?

[verbal vortex]

Use Beacon Server Manager

[verbal vortex]

Negative, and that 3rd dino must be a mod. 😉

[safe scroll]

Yeah I’m an idiot with auto correct. I’ve deduced it to a few mods but I don’t know why it’s happening.

[verbal vortex]

Was trying to lighten the mood with a joke about "dildo" lol. Not all mods play well with others.

[keen abyss]

Guys why couldn’t I create stuff in the game?

[verbal vortex]

What do you mean "create stuff in the game"?

[safe scroll]

I’ve deduced which mods were causing the issue for me, not sure if it’s an isolated issue or all Xbox users have this issue etc so I’m trying to figure it out. Yeah poor Dilo got his name wronged 😂

[safe scroll]

Does mod order matter much? I can't seem to find a source that gives any definitive yes or no, or a general guideline for which mods should go where in the order.

[toxic hazel]

Not really except overhaul mods/modded maps, I like to go dino mods, qol mods, building mods then anything after that

[safe tinsel]

Hey guys can we spawn on the Ossidon yet or do we have to wait u till relised tomorrow

[brave aspen]

Can’t until it’s released tomorrow I believe

[safe tinsel]

Cheers dude

[autumn depot]

Is valguero having issues with nondedicated settings not sticking?? The ini is an import from the same skeleton that 5 other servers ran just fine for 2 months. But even though everything looks fine- the effect is not there or bugging heavily in the map. Leveling characters or tames, turret damage multipliers, etc

[austere needle]

good day to all ... can someone tell me what settings i need to place to make normal beds working in ratholes or very small caves in asa ?
i alrdy tested with disable the whole antimeshstuff and enabled pve cavebuilding with no luck

[coarse ocean]

Heya - I am looking for two settings: Being able to pick up Otters in the beak of the Argentavis, and making Alphas drop loot like Xbows and weapons. Both currently do not work on my unofficial, non-SP dedicated PvE server. Thanks!

[verbal vortex]

Is a RCON command to post into global chat?

[gloomy cloak]

How do I upload a save file from filezilla for an old server save? I’m struggling and nitrado stopped helping

[austere rune]

hello, wondering please, where can i find cluster files if i'm not using -clusterdiroverride?

[celest halo]

ShooterGame\Saved\clusters

[orchid bear]

the argy is default "enble pve carry" but instead of rightclick you press C to use beak
alphas do drop loot by default aswell but its not a guaranteed drop on every kill i believe

[coarse ocean]

I thought there was something wrong with my "C" button; it turns out the Argent has to be flying to be able to pick up the Otter.,

[spiral summit]

Türk var mı yardım lazım

[compact goblet]

is it safe to remove fear ascended or does it still need to be passive?

[latent coral]

you can pull it, items should stay just wont spawn anymore 🙂

anyone got constant crashing servers after the cloud fare restart?
Think its something API related?

[celest halo]

Probably mod side, think cf uses cloudflare for things

[compact goblet]

thx

[acoustic pier]

is it possible to override what crafting station an item is made in with the ini files?

[austere rune]

i used to use a tool that obfuscated a lot of the optoins for dedicated server hosting and am now switching to a different tool that exposes these settings. is there an easy way i can tell if my previous host converted my save files to the new store format?

[toxic hazel]

If like Nitrado the player save files will not be in the backup you can download

[austere rune]

i have all the files, i just need to be able to tell if i should enable -newsaveformat for the command line

[toxic hazel]

If you got the player files then no?

[austere rune]

where are the player files normally stored?

[toxic hazel]

With the map file lol

Thats why I say if they dont give them to you when you get them then they be using the usestore save method

[fierce timber]

Ever since the most recent server update, most/all of the players on my server cannot see their structures and items within structures will be invisible as well (says 35/50, but only shows icons for 10-20) but everything can still be extracted/seen once in a player's inventory.

Anybody else having this issue? I had seen posts that it was due to Der Dino mod, but I updated that mod + removed it entirely from the server as an extra test and the issue still persisted.

Seems like whatever WC tried to fix with that "player replication/spawn login issue" broke something else for replication elsewhere for structures/items.

[silent yoke]

Do you guys think after the perfomance update a rx 580 8gb will run the game?

[near hawk]

ASE yeah, kinda.
ASE nah

[bleak ivy]

What

[near hawk]

🤣

bru

what's wrong with me today

second one was meant to be ASA

[fierce timber]

Hoping that whatever WC did to break structure visibility/replication with that last server update is fixed with this one. Game is unplayable for most of my server's players because they can't see or interact with 99% of their base structures even though the hitbox is still there for them.

[wise kindle]

Dear god we can only hope.

Very unnerving for entire bases to just poof on you.
Also getting tired of relogging several times a day just to see structures.

[fierce timber]

I've found that stuff placed for players within their render radius with this issue will be visible, but if they log/crash, when they get back in structures because invisible/inoperable for them again. If stuff is placed when they're not within the radius, it won't be visible.

[fierce timber]

🍝

[cerulean kraken]

I feel asif ive made a grave mistake. shoulve read that there was a patch coming out today before starting a non dedicated server. no one can join my hosted server. the screen for them to spawn shows up then it kicks them from the game... ideas?

[celest halo]

its a major patch everyone needs to be on same versions

[solid tide]

i havent had this issue at all 👀

[fierce timber]

The moment they released that last server update it's been plaguing my entire server's population

[solid tide]

what mods are you running? It could be a mod wasnt updated with that particular update cause i havent heard of that at all

[fierce timber]

Everything was fine for months and months prior with all the same mods, so they broke/changed some filepath or something

[gloomy yew]

yea that sounds liek a broken mod

[reef thistle]

This update breaking servers for others?

[lime matrix]

yep

[jaunty galleon]

It's breaking some mods again

[reef thistle]

Noice

so clean servers are rebooting?

[lime matrix]

Would assume so, about to start troubleshooting on my test server

[celest halo]

would not be a major update if it didnt break things

[reef thistle]

I only got about 6 mods that share each other. So if it's mod related, I should be able to find it pretty quick

I have a server booting

[lime matrix]

yeah.....i've....got a few more than that lol

[solid tide]

it's likely a mod that has to do with altering/adding/replacing dinos

[reef thistle]

I know what mods it's NOT

Based on which of my servers have booted and which haven't

[lime matrix]

certainly one of those, pulled all the creature mods and it started. So now to narrow it down

[solid tide]

which ones you got? i know better creatures is one. shiny is working on it rn to get a fix put through curseforge

[reef thistle]

Might be all overhaul mods

I have servers with dino mods on, and they booted

None of my overhaul servers started

omg

[lime matrix]

yep, do have that one and shiny. Others are sunken world additions, Draconis Glaucus, Paleo Ark Native Aquatics, Bombadier beetle, Cockatric, Sivatherium, Marni's Griffons, Dracoteuthis, S dino variant, S variants fantastic tames, no untamables, Edmontonia

[reef thistle]

My servers are up lol

Even with those errors being thrown, looks like just asadm was glitchin

RCON proved serves were up

restarted ASADM they're registering.

[lime matrix]

I'm self hosted so I'm working on it via remote desktop....can see it doing the reboot loop on crash with the affected mods

[reef thistle]

Mine were doing the same thing, but I looked over at my rcon server status and they were all up

mine were in reboot loops, with dll errors popping up

but server status was green on all servers

rcon test yours

🤷‍♂️

just inc ase

check shootergame logs too just to be sure

[lime matrix]

I'm staring at the server's instancet terminal window so I can see when it changes over to advertising for join

Wouldn't get that far with the mods that were problematic

[reef thistle]

Man, wish I can help ya figure it out, but all mine just "stopped" throwing out random errors and crashes and are up now.

[lime matrix]

eh, it's just a matter of running through the list of creature mods to test them

loads fine with everything else

so not that long of a list at least

[valid flame]

Anyone hosted through Nitrado? Update has been installing over an hour now.

[lime matrix]

nope, i don't touch the "n" word with a ten ft pole lol

They have to load it into their own systems for propagation network wide

[reef thistle]

Hard to say what the issue is. Weird things happening with other hosting methods.

[lime matrix]

self host nothing really weird happening

[valid flame]

Unfortunately I couldn't get my ports right to run on a dedi machine. So I opted into Nitrado until someone nice enough would help me.

I consider asadm "self-hosting" 😄

semantics

[lime matrix]

Ah, i'm not familiar with that one anyway

[reef thistle]

As long as you're hosting off your own servers/machines, I'd say that's self hosting.

[lime matrix]

indeed, 64 core threadripper 256 gb ram. Uaca's ASA server manager for the interface with the most common things. Backups I do with my own scripting over the network to another machine in my rack

[reef thistle]

Yea, same thing...different manager.

I think this rollout affected server managers

[lime matrix]

maybe just rcon protocol

[reef thistle]

nitrado obviously having issues, Ark Ascended Dedicated manager, and now Uaca's are all having issues.

[lime matrix]

It's not uaca's specifically

[reef thistle]

Maybe, but it was properly working RCON that I even notied my servers were up.

[lime matrix]

doesn't have anything to do with the manager

least on my end

it strictly related to the affected mods

[reef thistle]

If you send me your mod list, I can, see if I can boot up a server with em

[lime matrix]

I'm almost done going through my creature mod tests. I know for sure better creatures and shiny it won't boot with those loaded.

[reef thistle]

shiny works

I have it on all my servers

hope that info helps

[lime matrix]

Ok, was going off what VenomofSkadi stated

so probably just better creatures

[reef thistle]

I dunno man. I think chasing mods is a rabbit hole

[lime matrix]

can be

[reef thistle]

I just went from wtf to magically booted

[lime matrix]

Well, I did see a few updates go through

[void juniper]

only my event server booted with shiny and better creatures

all main maps crash as soon as they hit the ticking loop

[reef thistle]

Yea, something else weird here going on.

[lime matrix]

Going to guess the event map is lightly loaded?
