jumping back to 15.6gb after hitting 20gbish

little estuary
#

I loaded into the Server rather than leaving it with no people on, and its not crashing YET

round birch
#

there still is no mem leak fix as yet ??

#

no updates

chrome iris
round birch
#

yes been there all day just tried updating no fix as yet

#

only work around is to raise the GB threshhold from 35 to say 42-45GB

little estuary
round birch
#

nop i have been on 77.6 since it release 10:45 am UK time

chrome iris
merry root
#

Mines been 77.6

placid roost
#

its been 77.6 since 6am this morning

round birch
#

as said the only way to stop the crashing is to put this in your startup file its not perfect but i have been playing my dedi now solid for 3 hours no crashes

little estuary
#

So my server will hit a peak ram usage of 26gb then drop down to 16 gb over and over as long as one person is on the server, my servers hosted through Nitrado.
When there was no one on the sever, within 22 minutes itll go up all the way to 32gb and shutdown

round birch
#

-GBUsageToForceRestart=42

celest halo
round birch
#

same stolen

little estuary
round birch
#

i dunno how to add it to a Nitrado i host my own dedi it`s a minus sign command there must be a place to add it somewhere suggest ask around other nitrado users

placid roost
#

yeah nitrado has to have something for the launch commands, its one of the ways to add mods

round birch
#

wait try put it in your gus.ini? the syntax would be

chrome iris
#

Nit has been fine for my friends all day

round birch
#

GBUsageToForceRestart=42

#

without the minus sign

little estuary
#

Oh so it force restarts when it hits that ram limit, My server does already but mine is 32 gb

celest halo
#

Nitardo would definitely block that command from ever working

little estuary
#

Ah fair

round birch
#

yes a built in default is 35GB but the mem leak never ( in my case ) gets to 42GB hence no shutdown

dim yoke
#

Does anyone know How I enable only veilwyn for transfer on unofficial or is there not a way

indigo jungle
#

is it just LostColony_WP for the map name in unofficial set ups command lines?

round birch
#

it constantly climbs from 12GB upto 39GB the drops back to 12GB then starts again cycles over n over no impact on server

#

just LC

#

OH sorry yes LosColony_WP

little estuary
#

yeah mine just goes from 12gb to 26gb then drops

round birch
#

lostcolony_wp

#

gotta change my keyboard lol

indigo jungle
round birch
#

does a nitrado server have a GUS.ini you can get at?

chrome iris
#

you can access all server files

little estuary
#

Lemme check

round birch
#

Yes, you can add commands to your Nitrado ARK server
, primarily by enabling admin access in the Nitrado dashboard, setting an admin password, and then using the in-game console (opening it via the menu/touchpad) to type commands like enablecheats [YourPassword] and then your specific commands (e.g., cheat god, cheat spawnitem). For persistent commands or server-wide settings, you might use the server's command line arguments in the Nitrado settings or mods like Lily's Tweaker for console commands that apply on login.

#

2nd option i think is what u would need

little estuary
#

Okay well i did enable cheats, so youre saying i could potentially just drop that command into the console In game?

round birch
#

no you need to get it into the GameuserSettings.ini it needs to be persistant

jovial lodge
round birch
#

this is how i do it via a batch file

little estuary
#

Oh yeah theres a GameUserSettings.ini

server has to be shutdown to edit it

#

try putting it under [ServerSettings]

little estuary
#

at the bottom of server settings?

round birch
#

anywhere

little estuary
#

So just without the dash ye?

round birch
#

as long as its under that bracketed heading and you preserve the space to the next heading if u put it last in the list

#

yes correct

#

fingers crossed

little estuary
#

So like this? :
[ServerSettings]
...
...
DinoResistanceMultiplier=1
DinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier=1
NoTributeDownloads=false
GBUsageToForceRestart=42

[ScalabilityGroups]
...

round birch
#

server is shutdown yes?

#

correct

little estuary
#

I havent even saved the file yet, about to shut it down

celest halo
#

Probably not going to do anything nitardo like most game hosting sites limit ram to a set amount for servers

little estuary
#

Yeah its limited to 32, gotta pay more for ram but could prevent crashing maybe??

round birch
#

it wont remember the setting shut it down and reopen and then add it then save it boot server

#

hmm maybe wont work for you then maybe the 25 u get is all that avail so it crashes

#

makes sence as the OS would need the 7GB

little estuary
#

I mean, they did push this message out

"
Hello Survivors!!

Status Update – ARK: Survival Ascended Memory Limit

Following the Lost Colony update and as a temporary precaution due to a memory leak, we've reduced the ARK: Survival Ascended server memory limit to help maintain stability and prevent additional memory pressure. Until a fix is available from Wildcard, we recommend stopping servers when they are not actively in use to reduce save-game corruption potential. This is a preventative measure, and we'll continue monitoring closely and share updates as the situation evolves.

Thank you for your understanding.c
"

round birch
#

its the wrong way it easily gets to 36GB so them reducing to 25GB u see it earliar i set mine to 60 so it never gets there to restart

#

i hate Nit

little estuary
#

I mean ive been on the server for a solid hour now, and it would just crash before at 22 minutes, i think the memory leak is if no one is on the server?

celest halo
#

You also don't have 30 clients all with a game server running on the same box

little estuary
#

Nitrado is great imo when it comes to buying a server

round birch
#

yeah point

celest halo
#

Or how ever many customers nitardo puts on the same box

little estuary
#

Yeah at max we have 7 people

round birch
#

yeah but that box you rent is 1 of 200 servers they have sold to others

Curiosity

Anyone else getting lost colony maps with memory leaks.

Both my maps start at 17gb and just climb till 32gb and then get server exit dur to over use of RAM

little estuary
#

On nitrado?

normal canyon
#

Is there a fix for the server crashing

round birch
#

for some yes its effectively a work around not a fix

normal canyon
#

ok what is it

round birch
#

are u Nitrado or your own box?

normal canyon
#

no home server

round birch
#

your home server? then how many maps and how much memory

cold brook
#

lost colony is shrek'd for ram use / memory leak right now

normal canyon
#

9 maps 256 GB

chrome iris
#

anyone now how to cap ram to a givin ASA server in amp?

round birch
#

ok good chance will work for u... how u start it manager or batch file

#

add to GUS.ini file

normal canyon
#

I am using UASM server manger

round birch
#

think that has a slot to add a minus command file tey this

#

-GBUsageToForceRestart=42

#

notice it has a minus sign in front

normal canyon
#

ok

round birch
#

if not add it to the GUS.ini without the minus sign under heading [ServerSettings]

#

does not work for all though

normal canyon
#

ok thanks I am trying it right now

chrome iris
normal canyon
#

I put it in the command line

round birch
#

if it works u will still see it climb but when it reaches 36GB or thereabouts it should drop to 12GB the start over again and keep recycling.. mine has been running for 6 hours now with several peeps on

#

command line

#

where as it would always crash upon 35.6GB

chrome iris
#

mine are both command line "options" "flags"

round birch
#

ok never used the word flags before but options yes

chrome iris
#

cheers

round birch
#

there are 2 commands in ark the ? command and the - (minus command)

#

syntax are diffrent

normal canyon
#

I am staying about 24GB with 1 player on

round birch
#

so was it crashing before when u got to that?

#

its slow to crawl up mind taking 20-25 mins

normal canyon
#

it was crashing around 34GB

round birch
#

yes thats the built in cap you should have now elevated it to 42GB

normal canyon
#

now its at 16GB

round birch
#

in practise it should not get there so not restart

#

so its recycling correctly

#

looks like its good for u

Has anyone tried to see if its when all the nps are rendered in the city?

All our crshes are when people were flying there. Once i turned off some other servers we havent crashed yet.

It still goes up to 30gb then back down to 20gb. But maybe it drops back down when the city is out of render

round birch
#

u dont even need anyone to be logged in for it to crash it just does around 35GB

#

You don't really need a server OS to run ark servers, just disable unneeded services and have enough hardware to back it up

#

Depending on if you run plugins or not, can actually work better not under a server OS in some cases

OK so this npc removal, seems like it'd be to the detriment of the server - remove a significant gameplay element and make a chunk of the map easier

velvet kernel
# gleaming flare Guess just waiting for wc to care then i guess

im just waiting - its only me and my friends that really play the server and we arent too hardcore at all. just excited to play.

if you want though i would start with adding the code to "game.ini" first. thats where perimeters liek engrams and other "background" stuff is at so i would think the patrol code would belong there

#

at the end of the day/night - its a 50/50 chance. if it doesnt work there, just try the gameusersettings.ini and see if it sticks

Forcing garbage collection is a thing I want to try as well

crisp jasper
#

I've tried everything on my end. All I can do now is wait.

lime matrix
#

But as far as I know can only do that using a plugin like Lethal's Rcon Scheduler which of course won't work for many people as Crapnado doesn't support plugins

cobalt loom
#

rcon can force garbage collection?

cold brook
#

Scheduled job on the server to fire an RCON command?

cobalt loom
#

That's what I was thinking, for windows a scheduled task could take care of that. I was just unaware of being able to force a garbage collection

cold brook
#

If BB thinks it might be possible then it could well be

#

cheat gc apparently

lime matrix
#

well, Lethal lists it as RconScheduler.ForceGC for a server with nobody online, and RconScheduler.ForceGC 1 for one with people on it

#

I didn't investigate it beyond a plugin only function

cold brook
#

I'm writing a powershell script to fire it on a schedule

cobalt loom
#

Tried GC with no luck

cold brook
#

Yeah it was just mentioned on a forum post rather than official documentation

celest halo
#

thats about normal 90% of unofficial ark servers are ran by forum post rather then official documentation

cold brook
#

Presumably lethal's plugin is firing the built in UE garbage collection command which we can't do from console because it's locked down

cobalt loom
#

that'd make sense considering BB's plugin only comment.

cold brook
#

Welll I'm restarting my server anyway I'm going to install the plugin

#

Will report back if that resolves

Anyone haveing some lag on Lost Colony Dedicated servers?

Hey, does anyone know anything to help fix this problem? I set up my dedicated server, local players can join no problem but non local players, ie over the internet, get a connection timeout when trying to join. The server still shows up in the server list for them and they can attempt to join but it always times them out. I verified I have the correct ports forwarded in my router

thin ridge
#

what about your firewall?

bleak sun
#

I forwarded the ports there too, I wouldn't be able to connect locally if I didn't have that done

thin ridge
#

those are the only two things ive run into that have caused the timeout issue on my end thats why i was asking

#

are you using a manager to run your servers?
if so which one?
if you dont mind me asking

bleak sun
#

I'm not using a manager

#

I did the thing where you have a .bat file to start the server

#

And I installed it with steamCMD

#

got ya i have no experience with that i run mine on a manager

I've messed with asa servers before which is why I'm confused why it's not working

all the problems still exist

what is the map name?

ornate escarp
lofty hound
#

for me i got around 60 to 70, which is fine for me, only an issue when stuff takes a second to register eg like a bola

celest halo
#

i just watched mine hit 19.6 out of 20 then drop to 13 and climb back up to 18 and still going up

white garnet
#

yeah im on the same network as my server and getting 100+ ping, which is just stupid bad

are you hosting on the same machine as you play? what ram

white garnet

no

the issue was it going to like 30gb or smth

mine starts at 15GB, havent seen it climb yet

# white garnet whatever the default is

verify cpu usage in task manager, if usage is spiking up constantly and going down drastically at the same time, there's something that is overworking the processor

but still getting lag spikes and ping is 100+

That's weird

# white garnet whatever the default is

I have mine set to five minutes for a save and have all the maps running on a ryzen 5 2600 with 48GB of Ram... usually no issues on my setup... except when WC breaks the game

white garnet
#

yeah ive only got the 1 map running right now, have ran many maps before with no issues

#

the lag itself seems a lot less but that might just be because i restarted the server to update it

#

it is still lagging tho 🙁

22Gbs of RAM on ragnarok is crazy

someone having problems with mods? I tried everything but i cant install winter mod and i cant play

i have problems because of winter mod, i deleted two mods to install that one and i cant install anything now

brisk schooner
#

Mods always take at least twice or not more of their size to install themselves. With a console, also, sometimes powering down in between updating any mods will clear memory and free up the space it thinkgs it's taken up by stuff already installed.

Otherwise, if you're really close to the mod space limit, the only thing you can do is remove everything, then load them in order from biggest to smallest, so that when you get to the smallest size mods at the end, they aren't taking as much space to install since they're using double

runic island
#

i dont have any mod now and i cant install anything

brisk schooner
#

Since you've done that have you turned off your console for some time to let it clear memory?

runic island
#

i deleted the game and installed again xD i tried evrything but dont have memory and i dont know why

brisk schooner
#

Something else must be taking up memory is all I can think of

#

If it's not clearing up after you completely turn off power

runic island
#

okay, just in case someone has the same issue: even if you have memory, delete something to have more xD i dont know why it works

cold brook
#

Kash you mean memory or storage space

runic island
#

the problem was storage space

cold brook
#

Sometimes I have to have like 100gb free to install a mod on my game, ark is dumb

I have a pretty odd issue. First off I use ASAM to host servers from my pc. Not sure if that's where the issue is or not I just figured I'd put that information out there. So to the issue part.

I'm having an issue where I can't get into my previously run servers. I have updated my servers to the latest version of the game but I keep getting a connection to host timeout messages. The weird part is I installed the map to Lost Colony and I can get into it with no issues, using the same process i use for the previous maps.

I don't know what the problem is. Why can't I access my other servers maps but I can access the new map? Can anyone please help me out here? I've heard about the Memory leak thing that's going on but I don't know if that's the issue.... If it is, does anyone have any information on why it would cause issues for previous maps vs the new one? Any information would be helpful at this point. Has anyone else had this issue as well?

We’ve heard your questions about Veilwyn transfers and wanted to share the specifics for our official Lost Colony servers. Fully mutated Veilwyns would dominate the early game and flatten progression, so here’s how transfers will work:

To keep the beginning of your journey fair and fun, Veilwyns with any mutations will not be transferable. Unmutated Veilwyns will still be allowed.
anyone figured out, how it should work?

We have same restrictions, like official:

PreventUploadSurvivors=False
PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
PreventUploadItems=False
PreventDownloadItems=True
PreventUploadDinos=False
PreventDownloadDinos=True

We tried the terminal behind the city of lost colony. So means we uploaded it into obelisk, but its not possible to download them.

I can't get transfers to work in my Dedicated cluster:
I have already done the following to try and fix transfers:

  1. Cluster directory and ID: Confirmed correct and consistent.
  2. Permissions: All permissions needed for the task are given
  3. GameUserSettings.ini: All transfer-related settings are correct.
  4. Mods: Only validated mods are enabled, and you’ve tried a fresh download.
  5. No errors in logs: No mod load failures or permission errors.
  6. Survivor upload creates .arkprofile: Upload works, but download hangs.
  7. There are no custom cosmetics in use and still having issues
  8. A brand new cluster Directory and ID have been configured
    Any other ideas? I can't log a ticket for help on the ark support page, looks like it has been closed to new requests since October
    What happens is people can upload, and the arkprofile moves, but they can't download their player on the new server

Epic game server lists were down today but Nitrado says it's fixed.
The usual, verify the server is set to allow that platform, when searching, make sure they checkmark "show player servers" on the bottom. And you know the number 1 error new players make? After you type in the search bar, you have to hit enter.

#

Make sure they are searching for unofficial servers.make sure other search filters are set correctly, like pvp/pve/all and they're not searching for any wrong filter

and double check to make sure if they are password protected or no

That sounds like it was the epic down time then.

grave oyster

#

I'm afraid it's going to be common during any map launch or holiday Both Epic server listing service and CurseForge mod matching services get over stressed and go offline.

Also there was a server/steam client update recently, the server could be mismatched or updating or a client might need updating,although in his case not since he's not on a steam client. This is all pretty common.

All you can do is verify search parameters, and keep refreshing. Oh! Here's a secret trick too... Sometimes that "show player servers" function doesn't work and you have to turn it off. I've had times when I had 11 maps up, and some showed during a search with the check ark, and so e only showed up if I turned off the check mark!

On an unofficial server, even when using the “-allowicefox” server startup option, I was unable to successfully download Veilwyn.

If I set “PreventDownloadDinos=true” to False, wouldn’t that allow other creatures to be downloaded as well?

The current settings are as follows:

PreventDownloadDinos=true
PreventDownloadItems=true
PreventDownloadSurvivors=false

In other words, only survivor downloads are allowed.
On top of that, the server command line is using -allowicefox.
However, Veilwyn cannot be downloaded. It does appear in the list of uploaded creatures, but the download itself is not possible.

how can i disable unreal console that runs automatically when opening asa server on windows?

just enabling rcon disables it?

sorry for ping after so long time

Am I correct in assuming the map name for Lost Colony is LostColony_WP?

celest halo
humble thicket
#

well im running it via wine under linux

#

also what you meant with "i enabled rcon to stop mine"?

celest halo
#

to shut down the server

humble thicket
#

ah i see!

young dove
#

I use WindowsGSM, myself.

humble thicket
#

so bascially from what i read its basically auto enabled inside the .exe?

#

"ArkAscendedServer.exe"

celest halo
#

i also dont see the UE console at all on linux, but i also run my servers headless with no GUI

humble thicket
#

yeah i could run it as service but i want to see logs in the bat cmd instead of unreal console .. and i also wanna use it under wine using .exe

young dove
#

Is there a setup guide or something to get the servers running under Linux? Best I was able to find is someone decided to containerize it in Docker for some reason...

humble thicket
#

LOL dude... really

young dove
#

You can DM me if you want.

humble thicket
#

aw. well its on ark wiki fandom under /dedicated_server_setup

celest halo

i use proton for mine, and if i want to check logs i just cat the log file

humble thicket
#

u basically just use steamcmd for linux

#

and u run it via systemd

celest halo
#

nope i just nohup and send it to background

young dove
#

Yeah, I mean I wrote an Ansible playbook that does all the Steamcmd stuff and sets up a server cluster on a machine for Evolved, but the added Wine layer because WC was too lazy to give us a native Linux binary has me concerned.

humble thicket
#

then u dont need anything except wine and the server files

#

i use winegui

young dove
#

Well my end goal is to move the current server cluster I have now into AWS, but I am absolutely not going to pay THAT much to run a Windows VM. Right now it runs locally.

celest halo

or proton and just edit your bash script ~/proton/proton run ~/arkasa/ShooterGame/Binaries/win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe

im running all locally..

I just installed an Ark: Ascended Lost Colony server via Docker on my NAS (steam user). The installation went smoothly, everything seems fine (on the server side).

I wanted to test if everything was working in-game, but when I launch the game, I don't see any tab to enter an IP address or search for my server. When I type its name in the list, it says "no server."

I also tried the command open [IP]:[PORT] ?[PASSWORD], but it doesn't seem to work; it gives me a "connection failed lost/timeout connection to host" error.

Please help! 🙁

it's conceivable my client has been open that whole time...but have been connecting with/playing on fully updated cluster all day.

only part of the version number that matters for connecting to servers is the 77 part

whatever the root cause was might be fixed now though - when this started being reported, my cluster servers were also hanging on startup - and now they are fine startingup.
