[tough plaza]

what number did you guys put on your servers for active resource caches, max outpost and max outpost city ?

[edgy kraken]

i didnt chance them yet.

[finite basalt]

If on Nitrado Cluster, regenerate Cluster ID. I've had multiple people tell me this is what fixed it for them. Make sure you tell people that can access their tribute terminal to clear out uploads, otherwise they go bye-bye. Can also disable/enable CrossArk and then get a new Cluster ID. I've had both confirm work for other servers with same issue.

If that doesn't work, make a support ticket with Nitrado and beg/pray they allow you to wipe terminaldata. They seem to not want to do that for server owners and you have NO way of accessing those files, only they do.

[restive tiger]

Do you think this will fix my server not showing up for transfer? I have a cluster and a me of them isn’t showing up at all when I go to transfer

Unless the supply crates on LC just don’t work for that

[finite basalt]

There was an update and a current issue, so hard to say as far as troubleshooting rn.

[ionic monolith]

Does LC have issues with Admin access? admin pass is set and should be fine but not activating when in map

[stiff tulip]

anyone else running dedicated server on their LAN still having problems connecting? this is getting a bit frustrating.

[stiff tulip]

fwiw, rcon is working, just nobody can connect on multiple different computers on the lan. nothing is really making sense so I think we'll just shelve it for the weekend. but terribly frustrated with it.

[stiff tulip]

also, can't connect with the server running locally either.

[humble orbit]

Does anyone use Hostinger (or any VPS service for that matter) for unofficial setups and could help a guy out with some trouble shooting? Or direct a guy to a couple decent explainer vids?

[rich vault]

what are the odds, Battlemetrics showing everything properly again 😂

[north nova]

for breeding are there to seperate mating intervals? one for egg layers and one for gestation, i like my current egg cool down but the gestation is 1 hour and i want to make that faster without making the eggs faster

[pallid pewter]

Anyone know a fix for trying to join an unofficial server and I keep getting the message "The client is currently trying to confirm a connection to mod services, please try again in a few seconds". I'm on xbox btw

[tall rain]

hi does anyone have found an solution for the defense mission not spawning on an unofficial server ?

[young dove]

What, like a VM with a desktop kind of setup where you deploy the game yourself on a "bare meta" machine (virtual or otherwise)?

[tepid berry]

Has anyone gotten the -allowicefox command line option to work? I still can't download my veilwyn from Astraeos to LC through the terminal.

[humble orbit]

Idk it’s all pretty foreign to me. But the way I understand it and best way to explain it is you’re basically renting someone else’s computer to do the “set up a server from my own PC” type of thing??? It’s like 1/10th the cost of nitrado to do it this way, just a lot more work and you have to be your own support (trouble shoot your own issues) because of the exclusivity deal with Nitrado, these VPSs services legally aren’t allowed to help with any coding or server set up issues, only issues revolving around the VPS itself. In short, nitrado are eggplants! Lol 😝

You know the YTer Nooblets? He has a “set up an ark ascended server using a VPS” guide that I used (you could watch it to get a jist of what I’m trying to do and see if there’s any way you could help, no biggie if not) but I’m still hitting snags and can’t figure out why.

[young dove]

I've been hosting Ark on my own hardware since Evolved so you're welcome to DM me with your snags.

[humble orbit]

I’m US eastern and burnt out from trying to figure this out all day long. But yes, if you don’t mind I’ll shoot you a dm and when I go to mess with it again here in a day or so I’ll show you my hang-ups. Appreciate you reaching out!

[young dove]

No worries. I'm CST, and work and all, but I'll respond as I can.

[humble orbit]

👍. No obligation man, definitely only expect an “if and when you can”. appreciate you even offering.

[smoky aspen]

Anyone know what it means by client is trying to confirm a connection to mod services please try again later ??

Is this what was told they are fixing earlier??I got on not long ago ..

[uneven trellis]

this indeed fixed the issue thank you!

[untold ginkgo]

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me with some suggestions on the outposts settings? The resource caches and how many to have active at the same time, thanks in advance!

[inland field]

My nitrado server is having mature speed issues when im not on they grow up fast but when I am on they grow up slow

[polar dagger]

Don't do destroy wild dinos and if, after that a server restart is needed. At least for the missing NPC and maybe also for the missions

[tepid berry]

Did you ever find a solution to this or did it end up fixing itself? I keep getting "Client has failed to connect to mod server"... :[

[smoky aspen]

No still nothing for myself 🙁

[lime matrix]

What's the lower limit for Lost Colony's ambient temp, 32F?

[lunar spear]

i can help ya!

[dense yacht]

Can you share it with the chat cuz im trying to understand too

[lunar spear]

what do you need help with understanding?

[lusty wagon]

Outposts are not spawning outside the city on our server in Lost Colony. Is this due to a setting or is it a bug?

[carmine cipher]

i have the same problem but i dont know why

[pallid pewter]

Nope no solution yet unfortunately

[devout rampart]

I've found them only the day 1 (not me, a player of my server), then nothing more beside the inner city

[carmine cipher]

yeah i dont knwo whats wrong i try everything but nothing changed

[untold ginkgo]

Thank you!! I’m basically just wanting to do the right settings on our server so players can start enjoying the raids! I’m not sure how many outpost and city outposts I should have and the right resource cache

[mild copper]

i have the same question, didnt realize nitrado had set it to 0 after the 1st day and thats i couldnt find any since XD im just gonna do 5 for each, theres only a couple of us in the server anyways all in the same tribe, but if anyone finds out what the numbers are on official servers please reply thanks 😄

[onyx quarry]

Can an experienced nitrado user explain to me if and how you can upload character dinos and items and change the map without purchasing another server subscription?

[opal osprey]

Hey, my servers are visible again, sweet

[onyx quarry]

@ancient wigeon so where does it save your character dinos and items when you upload and stop server don't that delete everything when you change the map

[ancient wigeon]

No, the upload is not affected when maps change, just don’t leave your stuff uploaded for long if you have not set the transmitter timer to indefinite..

You can have multiple characters uploaded

[lunar spear]

There is a setting in ini file that got disabled called maxoutpost there’s a few of them default for all is supposed to be 6

@carmine cipher

[onyx quarry]

OK thank you I was worried I had to purchase another server just to transfer

[ancient wigeon]

I move stuff between servers and singleplayer, as it’s upload is per acct, not per map

[ancient wigeon]

Keep in mind, your stuff on each map stays when you change maps so you can go back as long as you use the same character, otherwise your character will have to force claim your stuff to be able to use it

[onyx quarry]

Do you recommend uploading dinos in cryopods or physically

[ancient wigeon]

I travel my character to different maps and only bring the gear and dinos i want for that map, i build bases on each one

do not upload cryoed dinos on nitrado servers.

you can on single player only

You also can only upload adult dinos

Also do not upload fertilized eggs you plan to hatch as they will default to level 1

[wise kindle]

You can, but only if the servers are clustered.

[ancient wigeon]

correct, but he has only one

Not a cluster

If i was planning a cluster server set up i would host it on a beefy home PC as no cost other than it needs to run 24/7

[onyx quarry]

The plan is to do all Cannon map boss fights

[ancient wigeon]

there is a list of the order to do them in if you are following the story

[pure haven]

anyone having issues with city being completely empty on their server? i removed -nopatrols from command line but patrols not spawning anyway it seems like

[polar dagger]

I’ve seen this issue as well: when you (or a mod) run “destroy wild dinos”, NPC spawning can break. After a server restart, NPC spawning usually works again.
I’m also not sure whether an automatic “destroy wild dinos” on startup needs to be disabled. Can you confirm this?

[stiff tulip]

man... I wish I knew what was going on. everything was fine yesterday morning, now I can't get an ASA DC working at all. no idea what's going on anymore. I've tried fresh installs on my server PC, other SteamCMD servers are still working fine, it's not a network issue. I tried installing the DC fresh on my gaming pc (locally)... and I simply can't get past the connection failed window, which pops up almost immediately, and I've not seen an IP pop up in the DC console since the issues began.

[lusty wagon]

Is was the Dino Wipe at Server Start. i Removed it and the Outpost startet spawnen. Now i must figure out with Setting it ist, that we cant harvest our R Seed Plants. Friendly fire setting for PVE ist on. No Clue which setting causes the problem

[lunar spear]

thats strange, maybe max dino cap is blocking the spawns ?

[pure haven]

i use lethal decay plugin to auto wipe dinos on my cluster and it doesnt simply run destroy wild dino command it does remove dinos over time to avoid ram usage spikes when all dinos begin to respawn on entire cluster so i thought it might mess with patrols respawn. i will try to disable it on lost colony and see if its keep happening

[reef thistle]

I'm testing the ban function on my server, it worked. When I delete my input from the banlist, I'm still banned from the server.

Am I expected to have to restart the server after an unban? I don't need to when banning, so I can't imagine I'd need to when unbanning. 🤔

[drowsy current]

anybody know the reason why my dedicated server is crashing? after the Added Explorer Note Entry it just closes

[grim zephyr]

outposts so buggy, cant finish 1 , everytime enemyy left that dont come

[worthy roost]

is there a list of all the LC engrams? I wanna disable all of them for now 😅

to avoid spoilers

[reef thistle]

Ok. I restarting the server fixed this, but I don't recall that being required as early as last month.

[brittle night]

Im currently hosting a nitrado server, since I’ve switched to lost colony, it keeps rubber banding and stuff. Anybody know a solution? I’ve already reinstalled the server 2x

[lunar spear]

dont use LC 🤣 its super bugged atm

[brittle night]

Yeah sadly 💀

[lunar spear]

we posted a warning to all our players to not bring any coveted items to LC or their main character

also warning them not to transfer off the map with a character because it willl potentially freeze their inventory

[grim zephyr]

is it neccessary that i shot 1 left 1 right 1 left... when taming a gloon ? the lights are not on but i cant tame with base kibble on zero ?

[celest halo]

I have yet to tame one, the two I got where baby's I adopted after taking there parent out 🤣

[grim zephyr]

someone find out spawning lost colony crates ?

[plush burrow]

change the cluster ID, if anyone has anything uploaded get it out before.

[lunar spear]

to fix the invintory issues?

[ashen sluice]

Can I ask everyone here a question because I am having glitching crash issues. I keep laoding back in where I am glitched out and stuck in a wall/floor and trying to get my dinosaur out of the ground and when I tried to walk at least a few inches, my game crashes. WHy? THis is making me rage quit a lot

[lunar spear]

if on the lost colony map thats why

[ashen sluice]

THat is why I asked. This keeps happening on the Lost Colony Map. Do you have any guesses why this happens?

[lunar spear]

yeah bc wildcard is screwed

[ashen sluice]

OKay... let me rephrase it... CAN Wildcard fix this?

[edgy pasture]

did you find a way to fix this? the amount of spam in logs i get from this is unreal

[lunar spear]

yes but they are all on vacation week for the holidays so probably will be two weeks + before anything really gets fixed unfortunately

[ashen sluice]

Wait what. When did this happen?

[lunar spear]

when did what happen

[ashen sluice]

The vacation part. When was that announced they were going on vacation before fixing the map?

[lunar spear]

well its christmas week so im assuming they all are on vacation and the most recent patch notes/announcements

[ashen sluice]

OH.

[lunar spear]

will just ahve to wait and see when dollies message goes live

[celest halo]

Happens every year, when they do a map release in December, we get a few quick patches to fix major bugs then get nothing as most are on vacation then get some updates to fix the smaller bugs in January

[noble bluff]

Well, I hope someone can fix the issues @lunar spear has been talking about. I sure don't want to wait until January to be able to play again. I have already deleted the game, and reinstalled without a fix. It's been two days now that I have not been able to play. I even created a new character on Aberration and it has the same issues as my main character which is on the Island.

[celest halo]

Mostly only things that get fixed quickly are things that affect a lot of people on official servers

Unofficials are the black sheep

[noble bluff]

I will tell you that I own a Cluster and multiple players have the same issue as me. It does not matter if they are on PC or a console. Once they leave Lost Colony to another map, they are screwed and can no longer play on the cluster.

Maybe, I ask all the players on my cluster to put in a ticket? Think that will help?

[celest halo]

It could help, specially if it's something happening on officials also, I'm not in general chans on this discord so not sure what issues official is still having

[pliant acorn]

no 🙁 its still spamming

[celest halo]

Mine don't spam them messages, my 2 servers I have running though keep on trying to get to GameAnalytics though, my pi hole has blocked the DNS lookup 43602 times 🤣

[worthy roost]

Can I swap maps on my server without uploading everyone on it?

[lunar spear]

copy your server playerdata from one map to the other i believe or have two maps running at same time

[worthy roost]

there's no playersavedata on nitrado anymore

[lunar spear]

idk then

we back everything up locally daily so thats where we can pull oours from

[worthy roost]

i need to disable -usestore on nitrado

[robust gate]

Can someone help me please

"join game" not showing off in steam friends list please help me for non dedicated server

[lunar spear]

unsure what you mean by this

[robust gate]

Me and my friend both playing ark on PC, He runs non-dedicated session; I join his session by choosing the option "join game" on my Steam friends list. Sometimes that "join game" option not showing off.

[limber burrow]

Anyone else not having thralls and outposts respawn on Nitrado after Dino wipe? Seeing a few reports on Reddit, haven’t found a fix

[gloomy yew]

No fix for us yet

We are getting city missions finally but none outside the city

Hopefully there is a fix it's hard to progress on this map without that working

[fiery breach]

i have been playing on the lost colony map and whenever i try building in some areas i get this message that says structure is out of bounds

does anyone know what that is about

[carmine cipher]

you must turn of wild dino kill when the server start then the outpost comes after restart your server again

[winter ridge]

anyone knows why upon first closing the Lost Colony server, it refuses to boot a second time? I deleted a save file because i thought the other one was corrupted, but it seems like the server just refuses to be boot up again after the first time closing it

[high forge]

anyone know the vielwyn dreath recovery gus setting ?

[hot gale]

Hi why when i launch valguero on asa offical server it make black screen after charater creation?

[placid pike]

"outgoing reliable buffer overflow" is today's disconnect error message. thanks wildcard

[winter ridge]

game's a mess. surprising how it still hasn't completely unravelled

[celest halo]

#unofficial-setup-help message

[plush burrow]

same for us right now

[sage lagoon]

Does anyone know a setting or mod to allow thralls to be thrown out of cryo pods like say in Ragnarok?

[tardy cradle]

Astraeos is there a problem with vein mining?

[tardy prairie]

Is there a way to increase loot drop rates? I'm on unofficial and the drop rates on lost colony are abysmal

[barren ridge]

Anyone know how to fix the vaults not spawning with the outposts on unofficial?

[hasty trout]

Looking for INI codes for Lost Colony, particularly outpost spawns, as we don't have any spawning on our nitrado server.

MaxActiveOutposts=0
MaxActiveResourceCaches=0
MaxActiveCityOutposts=0

Should these be set to a higher number?

[cold brook]

remove the lines entirely it will use defaults

[hasty trout]

these are the defaults

set to 0

that's why nothing is spawning

[celest halo]

Default for none nitardo is 6 for them 3 🤣

[hasty trout]

Our nitrado map loaded in the 0 for default.

[celest halo]

Not surprised there's a reason no one likes them

They set them all to 0 then servers dont need as much ram 🤣

[vernal girder]

😁😁😁

[grim zephyr]

someone know a command to kill stucked outpost enemy ?

cant finish 1 , everytime dino stuck in mesh or to far away

[rancid burrow]

is there a INI setting to turn off al the cosmetics in the Crafting menu other than using the Folder option?

[queen umbra]

Just do the general for wild Dinos

[grim zephyr]

it dont worked or aoe didnt worked too

[somber quartz]

How do I set up a lost colony map? I cant find the name I have to put here

start ArkAscendedServer.exe Astraeos_WP?

[queen umbra]

May I know which one you are using? And do you have the adm password on?

[grim zephyr]

cheat KillAOE Dinos 2000

or wild

[queen umbra]

Uhh I see, that’s not the right command.

Here is the general command: cheat destroywilddinos

[stone bone]

I'm having issues on a dedicated server where the veilwyn in companion mode is disappearing. It's just gone, whistle disappears too. Is there some way to bring it back? I think I have the dino id?

[cold brook]

that started happening on our server following today's patches

[stone bone]

so is there no way to restore the players missing veilwyn?

[drifting oxide]

i use dino depot admin recovery on ours for stuff like that 🙂

[wise kindle]

Most pod mods have recovery now, might look into that.

[hot gale]

why when i join valguero on offical and unoficial server it make a black screen after charater creation?

[pastel osprey]

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

[rancid burrow]

is there a INI setting to turn off al the cosmetics in the Crafting menu other than using the Folder option?

[hasty trout]

MaxActiveOutposts=0
MaxActiveResourceCaches=0
MaxActiveCityOutposts=0

Check these ini settings, if they are set to zero, they need changed to a number. I changed ours to 20 each.

[limber burrow]

Thanks, I’ll check but not sure why this would change to zero or why thralls no longer spawn in the city

[hasty trout]

I don't know the ini code for the thralls yet, but the outpost settings seem to default to zero on nitrado.

[celest halo]

nitrado prob set them all to 0 because of servers using 30+gb of ram when update first came out

[limber burrow]

Yea it’s weird, they were spawning just fine until one of the recent updates. Also had a mass over spawn of brontos (literally 500 of them on one lake). Dino wiped the brontos and since then no thralls

[river canyon]

Are the servers all visible to join in the client's server search? For the transfers to work, the servers all need to be visible to the public internet and connecting to whatever server directory endpoint is used for this. For me, when this has broken in the past it's been because I had firewall rules on the host server or the router wrong.

[pastel osprey]

Yes, they are. People can join the map, but when they choose a spawn point and click download survivor, it will sit there trying to download but visibly doing nothing. I then have to roll back the servers in order to get the player back on their original server

[gritty flame]

Hey is there anyone else struggling to join Unofficial servers on Xbox?

[hasty trout]

we had a mass over spawn of baryonyx all over the map, I had to ini code that out too lol.

[north nova]

is there a way to roll back a update? i updated to 77.27 and now my friend who was on xbox can no longer see the server, he had no issues when it was on the 77.24

[lavish wyvern]

does anyone know why extinction engrams arent working on lost colony?

[rancid burrow]

is there a INI setting/other way to turn off all the Animated Series cosmetics in the Crafting menu other than using the Folder option?

[chrome iris]

anyone have the new server update just put their server in a restart cycle, unable to start?

[indigo hazel]

Normally you don't have to click 'download survivor'. They go to a terminal, click 'transfer to another server', select the server, hit upload, and then choose a spawn location. It should then spawn their character on the map. What is the flow you/they are seeing?

Does your server console window show a line like this at startup for ALL of the clustered servers?

CreateASAClustersFolderMutex: CreateMutexW succeeded on mutex "ASAClusterMutex_Your-cluster-id-here-do-not-share-this". This process OPENED the mutex.

[split fulcrum]

anyone know how to avoid every queen bee on the map spawning in a single location, its kinda making the whole region laggy

[reef thistle]

My lvl 195 game ini broke, can anyone spare me a copy and paste please?

[tight cedar]

My cluster is currently experiencing an issue where peoples charcters are poofing away, dinos poofing away, lots of graphic lag, severe lag when admin charcters rejoin out of uplaod

[fierce timber]

Has anybody been able to find any solutions, partial or otherwise, for the insanely high ping on Lost Colony servers? On Val prior to switching over it was on average anywhere from 40-70 at worst usually, but on LC it's roughly 100-120 at best and constantly spiking up to 180-220ish (sometimes higher).

[rain bobcat]

does anyone know how to install lost colony on a dedicated server? It can't find the install when I try with the ID

[rain bobcat]

did you figure this out?

[rain bobcat]

it says invalid install map

[celest halo]

you install the dedicated server then start it with LostColony_WP map name

[worthy finch]

Can someone tell me how to know when an update will apply to my unofficial server?

Am I right in thinking that if it's only for PS5, it'll say "Update for PS5" but if I need to update my Nitrado server it'll say "Update for server"

[white garnet]

if you find any answers please let me know

[shadow tulip]

is the gacha claus code not working for anyone else

[warm panther]

we have the same issue. we first thought it might be mods but even with zero mods ping spikes to over 200

[white garnet]

yeah same here even with no mods we get high af ping and a mini lag spike every 5 seconds or so

[lunar spear]

We reset the cluster ID to fix this and a bunch of other issues on LC

[dense grove]

Anyone have outposts spawning on a nitrado server that is clustered? Trying to figure out what isnt working

(I set all the max to 10 to look for them)

[tight cedar]

Just the ID yes?

[dusty geyser]

It appears to be the combo of the Lost Colony Map and Cyber Structures we have found after some major testing.

Even with:

- BRAND new server (clean download, no server/mod settings, etc.) with only CS - ranging from 100-300 (spiking)```

We have found that this does not affect any other map other than Lost Colony. We have reported this to CyberAngel (CS mod dev), and @zealous aurora it might be worth looking into on your end, too, since this is a significant issue affecting only Lost Colony and none of the other maps while using Cyber Structures.

These are self-hosted servers, on a dedicated server - not Nitrado.

I have spun up two test servers to prove the existence of this issue - 
```LostColony-Test21-NoMods - 120.88.119.142:27550
LostColony-Test21-OnlyCS - 120.88.119.142:27552```

@zealous aurora  DM me if you require a server password to access. This has been passed on to CyberAngel to assist as well

[lunar spear]

Hopefully it’s fixed soon

[stable anchor]

hi does anyone know if theres an ini for advenure xp gain for solwyns?

[pastel osprey]

yes, the mutex is created and other servers can see it just fine

[white garnet]

hmm i guess i never tested it with a purely clean install, only had removed the mod and tried it. hopefully theyre able to fix it soon.

[fierce timber]

I did see some reports in their Discord but wasn't sure if that was truly the culprit, or the sole culprit. Hopefully it can get fixed on both ends sometime soon because it's rough trying to play through such huge delays.

Thanks for the info.

[dusty geyser]

Yeah, it's understandable since it's right next to the holidays. We, too, will endure. It adds another level of difficulty to Ark

[fierce timber]

It's rough when I need instanteous timing to get out of Desmodus grabbings and I can't even through my bola because the lag won't take my input for like 4-5 seconds. xD

[swift glade]

Have another question or some help with the gathering rate for the berrys dont pick the same mouth like at 50 for rocks but everything else has werid rates picking up like 4 - 8 pieces. This is for a ascend server No rude comments please.

[lavish spade]

What are the official values for each of these configs?

Outposts:
MaxActiveOutposts=
MaxActiveResourceCaches=
MaxActiveCityOutposts=

[swift glade]

Where do I find these?

[lavish spade]

They're at the very bottom under "general"

ON NITRADO

[worthy junco]

My server got these values:
MaxActiveOutposts=6
MaxActiveResourceCaches=6
MaxActiveCityOutposts=6
MaxActiveOutpostsSP=1
MaxActiveResourceCachesSP=6
MaxActiveCityOutpostsSP=1

[lavish spade]

Thank youuuu

[swift glade]

There set at 2 n 0

[lavish spade]

Look at the values the guy above me sent me. Yours should look similar just less like actual config files

[swift glade]

Okay ill give it a try

[willow cape]

Struggling to get veilwyn to transfer to lost colony with the supplied command line. Tried as companion, as cryo in player inventory, uploaded outside and inside of the cryopod. There's no creature tab in the city tribute terminal to access it. Anyone know how to fix? This is the third time we've pulled the cluster down to figure it out

[gloomy yew]

im still trying to figure out how to get the missions other then the city ones to pop up on our unofficial, we have already changed the values of the ini

[trail elm]

For the command line option for veilwyns is that something that can be added in nitrado dedi servers that are crossplay?

[indigo hazel]

At the moment, the -allowicefox command-line option doesn't work when you have PreventDownloadDinos=True. It shows the Veilwyn in the creatures area and it's white/selectable vs greyed out and not selectable, but the button to download it doesn't show up. Looks like a classic bug.

[hasty trout]

You need to change the ini files.

The nitrado default is zero.

MaxActiveOutposts=0
MaxActiveResourceCaches=0
MaxActiveCityOutposts=0

Check these ini settings, if they are set to zero, they need changed to a number. I changed ours to 20 each.

[bright moat]

Don't you crash more often when you're in the city?

[hasty trout]

Have not noticed a change, but people have been doing all the non city ones tonight.

If it seems to be an issue I will change it to a much smaller number.

[humble thicket]

hello can someone help me download my Quetz onto lost colony ? i tried allowing foreign dino downloads and everything but for some reason but Quetz doesn't wanna download, the paw icon is glowing and everything it just doesn't spawn it just stays in the download list idk if it's a bug or what (fyi this is my unofficial server that i own)

🙏

[acoustic pier]

anyone know what MaxAscensionLevel does in the ini?

mines on 0 yet i definitely have ascension levels

[dapper oyster]

still no fix on it ?

[prime leaf]

How soon after a update goes live is it available for unofficial servers?

[celest halo]

Depends on the update and how WC feels

Could be minutes or could be never

Or anytime in-between

[prime leaf]

Super helpful. lmao

[lunar spear]

does anyone have defense outpost spawning ontheir server

can you PM me so i can compare our files to yours and figure out what tf is happening to ours

[celest halo]

There is no answer, sometimes we get it before patch notes are released other times we get it a few min after or hours or couple of days, and there has been time unofficial skips a patch or 2

[green karma]

there is a MaxOutpost setting, whichw as set to 0. The default was 6 and WC changed it recedntly

[lunar spear]

yea we already changed that

still nada

[celest halo]

i have mine set to below and been getting them, my server uses 19gb of ram so not sure if i want to incress it to get more or not yet

MaxActiveOutposts=4
MaxActiveResourceCaches=4
MaxActiveCityOutposts=4

[lunar spear]

we have it all set to 6 but still nada

migth up to like 20 for a day and see if i can find them 🤣

[celest halo]

if that dont crash the server

[lunar spear]

doubt it will, its weird bc we get attack ones but never ever defense

[inland field]

Why can I not kill unclaimed dinos?

[celest halo]

guessing your PVE

[near hawk]

prob cause u in pve

[inland field]

Yeah it is pve was hoping there was a way to get around it

[near hawk]

kill them by hand after claiming it

[celest halo]

claim and send to the bio grinder

[inland field]

Would that still give xp?

[near hawk]

pretty sure

[inland field]

Alright ty ty

[celest halo]

Yeah, I haven't done testing to see how ram intensive they are, so not sure if having a bunch active on the map will kill the server due to high ram usage

[lunar spear]

I’d rather crash it temporarily to try and resolve the fix than not be able to have our players do the boss fight bc they can’t get Sigurd

[celest halo]

Yeah, on mine I have opposite of yours, I have found 6 defense ones in 3 days and only one destroy

[gaunt berry]

Is the fabricated crossbow bugged can't repair it at all

[lean ferry]

-allowicefox doesn't seem to work, like its there but no download button, been trying, am I doing something wrong? This is a launch option right?

[rugged moth]

The wild carnivores not healing from corpses, is that a known bug? I sure hope it's not intentional

[plush abyss]

whatre the best dinos for each tier of kibble in ase? i was thinking of using these dinos but i just want to make sure theyre good picks

dilo (XS), compy (S), carno (M), argy or moschops, (superior), theri (exceptional), deinon (extraordinary)

[agile cedar]

Did they fix the joining server problem?

[quick mountain]

anyone had any luck with getting the outposts to spawn more i have the max outpost settings to 6 each?

[hasty trout]

That's what ours is set to. We have outposts spawning, no crashing yet.

[hasty trout]

I have ours set to 20 each and we are getting them.

[near hawk]

Just use deinon

[plush abyss]

only deinon? what about the other tiers-

doesnt tame efficiency go down if you dont use a dinos preferred kibble?

[near hawk]

U can use higher tier kibble instead of lower tier ones

Just use the cyan one for everything

Even in imprint

[plush abyss]

ah, alright then

[devout rampart]

I have this in my GUS (auto-added by LC) but no outpost from the first day:

MaxActiveOutposts=6
MaxActiveResourceCaches=6
MaxActiveCityOutposts=6
MaxActiveOutpostsSP=1
MaxActiveResourceCachesSP=6
MaxActiveCityOutpostsSP=1
Curious about the auto "SP" generated value.

[quick mountain]

oh nice are u getting the non city outposts to spawn aswell?

[lunar spear]

That means single player

[devout rampart]

i think so, strangely added to a dedicated server GUS.

btw, no outpost spawned beside first launch. I'm thinking that the dino wipe at startup could be the cause (other similar issue is that doing a destroywilddinos cause the thrall not to respawn untill a server reboot).

[gloomy yew]

This is my issue I'm only getting city missions we have all out ini set to 10

I've heard someone say the having the auto destroy dinos on nitrado is affecting it but I havnt had a quiet time to turn ours off

[devout rampart]

I'm having the same problem. Missions in city are active (..purple pointer?), but outpost is reported as saw by 2 players only the first day (used to transfer to another map).

[humble orbit]

What’s everyone’s opinion on running the seasonal event mods all year ( only 1 per map but every event on at least one map).

[lunar spear]

We turned this off as well to fix that thrall issue

Can’t wipe Dino’s on LC lol

Also stinks that the average Dino level is generally lower on it as well

[devout rampart]

you mean startup wipe or periodic wipe? I'm thinking to try to remove the startup one -ForceRespawnDinos

[jagged garnet]

I added the alowicefox start param but I cant download them to Lost colony still, is there another way to transfer them?

Anyone on unofficial able to transfer veilwyns into LC? I added -allowicefox to my start params and its not working.

[woeful wedge]

Has anyone gotten lost colony to work on the dedicated server yet?

[near hawk]

yup

since day 1

[lunar spear]

ours works but stil no defensive outposts

[woeful wedge]

I haven't been able to get it to load just stays in a ticking loop

[celest halo]

You check the logs, have you checked to see if this is in gus ActiveMapMod=0 (was an issue in the past of making server stuck and not starting)

You check start script for typos or wrong formatting, correct map name

[hasty trout]

yes

[lunar spear]

and the defenses?

[hasty trout]

I have ours set to 20 and we are getting lots of non city ones

[quick mountain]

ok ty il change mine to 20

[hasty trout]

defenses? the ones you attack? I know we have had at least one.

[lunar spear]

no the ones you dont attack

[hasty trout]

the ones you defend? yes lots of them

@lunar spear

[urban bramble]

I'll try changing them all to 20, on single player they don't seem to respawn at all.

[reef thistle]

I'm not gaining any exp on a couple of my servers. The game.ini is the same as the working servers. Anyone able to help me figure out what's blocking xp gain please?

[barren ridge]

Anyone know a fix for the vaults to start outpost defenses not spawning with the outposts?

[woeful wedge]

Already checked plus I can run other maps just not lost colony for some reason

[reef thistle]

I'm earning 1 xp per second, but I don't earn exp from any actions nor can I cheat any.

[digital obsidian]

I was stuck on ticking loop first time trying to start our LC server. Turned out I had an error in my update script and the server was not properly updated 😅

[frail crescent]

can anyone tell me the current server version number is?

[reef thistle]

77.27

[frail crescent]

ty

[agile cedar]

Guys when i start ark evolved It just freezes after 30 seconds and I can't even close it then

And I have to restart my pc then

[reef thistle]

All of my servers are effected by this. I can't cheat in exp, nor do I gain active exp. 🙁

[river canyon]

Hmmm earlier today my servers was fine and joinable - and now, no longer show up in the server list. client 77.33 and server 77.27. Any ideas?

[reef thistle]

Double check ports

And port forwarding

Something could've hiccuped

[river canyon]

If you allow mods, transferring them in (even with mutation) works fine when they're in your inventory in a dino depot ball

[river canyon]

nothing's changed in the configs of server or routers as far as I can see. And I'm the only admin here.

[reef thistle]

I see. Other than not fully booting, I can't think of any other reason why they'd be showing online but not advertising.

[timber blaze]

The outpost section of the ini isnt eve in showing, can I add those lines and set the rate?

The city ones are there, but nothing outside the city

[jaunty plinth]

I dont know if this has been discussed recently. But anyone else having crashes when they acess the Ark Inventory? I can get my weapons and inventory off the terminal on LC but when I click the creatures tab, my game crashes.

[grim zephyr]

hey my veilwyn got 100% , but dont eat the vulpite ??

[wise kindle]

Its bugged atm

[grim zephyr]

what is working atm....

[trail salmon]

Got problem with outpost om LC, have changed the nitrando settings, but what kinda mods are bugged? will still not spawn them

[placid pike]

did they remove all the npc's from the city? lol

[gloomy yew]

Yea we can't get missions to spawn outside the city either

[trail salmon]

But in the city you get missions?

[gloomy yew]

Yes

[wise kindle]

What value are you using?
Numbers lower than 20 seem to spawn them so rarely you cant find them.

[gloomy yew]

10 across the board

[trail salmon]

think we use 10,10.5

[ashen spire]

To be safe, it might be worth upping the total outposts to higher than the collective of Resource Caches and City outposts

[trail salmon]

so something like 20,20,10 should do fine? but are there some mods that are bad? awsome teleporter? solofarmer? an arkomatic?

[river canyon]

Odd thing - I can rcon to it from outside the firewall just fine. But cannot even directly enter the server ip:port and connect

[flint oasis]

Hey unsure if anyone ahs already asked this question but wehn I first started the server for LC We weren't able to build i ncertain areas. Now, we can... is this supposed to be a thing or did I fuck up a setting? I will note that I haven't changed my settings since the island lol probably since ASE to be honest 😄 but still Idk if I trust certain areas. Thanks

[wise kindle]

.5?

Half a cache?

[torn ether]

I can’t download the mod winter wonderland on psn anyone know how to fix it??

It says uninstall older mods to continue?????

[wise kindle]

#bobs-with-probs

[ashen spire]

Nah, I've had those mods installed and tried without. The city ones were always spawning but Defense missions wouldn't

But I was more thinking that keep your Max Outposts > Resource Caches + City Outposts

[vital shadow]

anyone had the issue where you can repair items higher quality then ramshackle?

[icy kettle]

any commands to kill stuck or lost enemies on outpost missions?

[near hawk]

destroywilddinos

[icy kettle]

you lose the rewards doing that. I've done 8 outposts now and gets down to last 3 enemies and they no where. So time runs out and fails

[river canyon]

You could check out the Better Horde Mod. Works wonders for those same issues on Extinction. I have not yet tested it on LC but supposedly it works on all similar types of events.

[magic hemlock]

Question: I'm playing/running a two server Nitrado cluster to work through the story maps. Just cleared Scorched Earth and ready to move to Aberration...if I swap the map of the server that was hosting Scorched Earth, will that delete all the map info(structures/tames/etc)? Plan to have the Island/Aberration running now, but if a new player joins the group we might run them through SE again.

[dim yoke]

Is it possible to enable veilwyn transfer on nitrado server bc my admin says it won’t let them do it on nitrado servers

[flint oasis]

Take it from someone who has been running a server for Ark since 2015... Save often and make a folder of your save files. Use FileZilla and take out the map to your desktop or whereever and save that. It will be there when you go back to it but it is wonky as hell and I wouldn't trust shit.

Also, for my issue anyone having problems with missions not showing up throughout the map? No events at all nothing around the map. Am I missing something in LC?

[magic hemlock]

Fair, after a bit of reading I was planning to do just that. Do I need a third party software to manage it or can I just download the files directly? No stranger to backing up single player/non dedi back in ASE.

[flint oasis]

Okay copy I use FileZilla for mine. I find it much easier lol

[flint oasis]

I have my very first Ark map (ASE) before I knew how to breed or anything 😄 it is in an external somewhere lol

[magic hemlock]

Oh, Nitrado doesn't allow downloading by folder? Ok, lol, FileZilla time. I ain't doing file-by-file.

[flint oasis]

Yeah lol Nitrado is not fun

[quasi wraith]

can official servers close?

Ive been playing on a server with my friend for a week and it disappeared today

[flint oasis]

They closed out some old servers I believe I would look and see which ones.

[humble orbit]

Anyone use a VPS for Ascended and could help a guy out with some troubleshooting

[rancid pagoda]

Anyone having a restart loop for their Nitrado server?

[pliant bridge]

Anyone having to keep reinstalling the game for single player I keep crashing when loading up the game

[wise kindle]

#bobs-with-probs

[dusky snow]

got a local hosted cluster on a computer a friend owns. We have 3 or 4 maps with no issues of transfers or anything added lost colony and it is showing in the terminal to allow the transfer but when you do It will not let you spawn the character you transfered with it tries to make you create another character. All the settings between the servers are the exact same

[rose lark]

What are you guys running for active outpost max active resource cashes max active city outpost max?

[fierce skiff]

Have you edited mew outpost settings at bottom of nitrado I changed and now get outposts on city walls but nowhere else

[dusky snow]

solved

[river canyon]

what was the issue?

[prime leaf]

Is the new patch from earlier live for unofficial yet? 77.3

[flint oasis]

Someone told me about it and I did that and it worked lol Had to put numbers there. thank you! it is the fix

[fierce skiff]

It gave me when mines was working outposts but only at city no others so kinda

[pallid ridge]

Hi! Where so I put allowicefox command at in my ini? Is it under serversettings in my gameusersettings?

Also, do I put allowicefox=true or just allowicefox?

[celest halo]

there was no 77.3 for servers

[prime leaf]

v77.33 – Minor Version for Steam Clients So this isn't a new version?

[celest halo]

clients

not server

[prime leaf]

Thanks!

[celest halo]

there patch notes can be a pain, way they lable stuff

[prime leaf]

For sure. I am re learning how to build a server since the beginning of ASA and all the info and the updates are just a lot to keep up with at the same time. xD Thanks for clearing that up for me though.

[pallid ridge]

Any of yall know how to allow mutated veilwyns into lc? I would very much appreciate any help 🙏

[vivid gull]

Anyone know what mod brings the message of the day box up in ark ascended servers?

[late matrix]

This is done in the GUS.ini. Use Message=
Something like this:

• Message=<Your message>
  or
• Message=Line 1\nLine 2\n<RichColor Color="1,0,0,1">Red Line</>

[vivid gull]

Is this the big popup box in the middle of the screen?

[late matrix]

Yes, will come up when joining the map/game

[vivid gull]

Alright thanks!

[vivid gull]

Is it possible to use this popup box for server reboots aswell?

[late matrix]

not sure if it can be triggered on command, you can have a scrip run something like this thru the rcon SetMessageOfTheDay <Message>

It can be easier if you use a discord bot to send messages in game chat for reboots. make it have a countdown

[vivid gull]

Alright

[vivid gull]

U have any tips on which bot I should get? Which payed plugin do majority use?

[low dew]

anyone have the map code for lost colony

[vivid gull]

LostColony_WP

[blazing widget]

Anyone has an issue where Dino’s don’t respawn after killing them?

[late matrix]

There are a few discord plug in the ark-server-api website. We have our own in-house plug in for this.

[plain sonnet]

has C+ been updated to not break LC yet?

[cloud light]

Hi, is anyone having trouble getting their servers to start after the update? Mine gets stuck here [2025.12.24-06.01.32:706][ 12]UShooterEngine::LoadGameMods Loading Mod ShooterGame/Mods/83374/929420_7060909/SuperSpyglassPlus/Content/PrimalGameData_BP_SSP_Kav.uasset : 929420 and won't start.

[plain sonnet]

uninstall the spyglass mod. Its getting stuck on it

not sure why i'm running it just fine

[willow crystal]

Some of our players have crashes on extinction... Just outside the city, in the area 33/47.

Several players have already experienced this. When they log in again, these players are kicked out after a few seconds. Other players, on the other hand, can walk around there without any problems...

Can anyone confirm this?

[plain sonnet]

no issues on my end. Sounds like a mod or client incompatibility

[willow crystal]

The question is, what is the reason? There are now four players... I walked around myself, nothing happened...

What is striking is that we have another map (built by ourselves) where a lot of people experience exactly the same crashes when joining. After three or four crashes, nothing else happens and you can play the map normally...

Now we have practically the same thing happening in Extinction at a certain point...

[plain sonnet]

I mean you've given us no context to diagnose other than 'they log in and crash'

there's literally nothing for us to go on.

Mod incompatability or something not updated etc is all we can really go off of

[dense garden]

I just rented a server on nidrado and I don't see any outpost or any attack or defend missions

[chrome talon]

My server was the same, apparently in the settings it’s set to 0 outpost spawns by default

[acoustic pendant]

My friends can see my server in the server list but I can't lmao wtf

Even w/ the exact same search settings

[dense garden]

Can you send a SS of it? I can't see it

[humble thicket]

Unofficial?

[willow crystal]

yes

[humble thicket]

Okay, let's do some critical thinking. You're playing on a heavily modded server, with all the mods being 3rd party software developed by people not in the company.....do you see where I'm going with this?

Blame the modders for not having their mods patched if you want to complain, it's not wildcards job to make sure every third party mods works. It's the modders.

Sure, and is there anything about blaming anywhere? I'm just looking for the reason why it happened, and simply saying “a mod” is to blame doesn't really help me much.

My question is whether this has happened to others and whether there might be a reason for it.

[scarlet trail]

Anyone got a work around for the no defense outposts issue?

[exotic orbit]

After the Winter Wonderland mod update when my servers restarted all my servers in my cluster will not boot now and get stuck on loading the first mod I even moved my SavedArk directory to see if it was save file corruption and still doing the same thing

[proven tinsel]

Same with ours, removed Winter Wonderland, problem persists.

[narrow kindle]

Anyone here have to replace a cache drive in unraid and then had issues with their servers 🤣 I am probs going to have to follow up on unraid's side rather but I am trying my luck

[exotic orbit]

Good to know ours isn't the only one

What is weird is I even removed all mods and renamed the SavedArk folder to a backup name and still it won't start

[sinful solar]

Our servers are having the same - no start - issue

We were about to remove all mods to test, glad someone else already did and we don't have to try that.

[exotic orbit]

We have some test servers that haven't been updated and they are still booting up so I am going to update the server files for the test servers as they are using a different set of server files

They also don't have Winter Wonderland installed so I will update and see if they break

[sinful solar]

Did they release a ninja patch last night? Quite possibly something in the patch broke and not the mods at all.

[exotic orbit]

Umm let me check steam DB

Last public update 24 December 2025 – 07:04:27 UTC (3 hours ago)

Yes there was an update to Ark 3 hours ago

[sinful solar]

I think that's what broke it.

[exotic orbit]

Well let me do the update on my test server and see what happens

[young dove]

You have a test server? I auto update every nightly restart. Send it!

[exotic orbit]

Update is almost done but I also update every night during restart except on my test cluster

[exotic orbit]

Yes I run a 12 server cluster and have a test cluster to test new mods and settings

Yep same issue on test servers now

Gets to loading the first mod and just hangs

[sinful solar]

So it is the update.

[exotic orbit]

Also server memory using is only 100 MB out of the 16 or 24 GB given to each server

asa_TestRagnarok 0.00% 21.07MiB / 24GiB 0.09% 806B / 0B 0B / 4.33MB

[young dove]

I'm actually trying to cut down on the number of servers I'm running on my server so I can move it into the cloud and not have to pay a jillion dollars, and so I can offload my battleship of a sever rack. 😛

[exotic orbit]

I run all my servers on a single physical server using Docker containers

[young dove]

I run all mine on a single server as well, absent the Docker layer.

[sinful solar]

We have 2 containers with our servers. We only updated one container. We're going to move the server files into the first container to see if that reverses the update and gets the maps running again.

[meager sleet]

I got a problem, I hope someone has some ideas... I have been running an ASA cluster since ASA came out, no problems... Windows servers, and the ClusterDirOverride was set to a shared folder on the first server in the cluster (all other servers using a mapped drive). This was working fine, character transfers all good. When Lost Colony came out I deleted the saves to reset the servers but kept everything else the same. Now, server transfers between different Windows servers fail, and erase the character. I can see the character file uploaded to the share, and all servers have access rights, but it can't be downloaded on other servers.

Did something change with ClusterDirOverride?

[young dove]

Nothing has changed that I know of. I was able to insert LC into our cluster using the same directive, but all my servers are on the same physical machine and I do not do CIFS/SMB or NFS shares for the cluster directory.

[meager sleet]

Yeah, I have 2 instances per Windows server, and on the first server, can transfer between them, but the other servers cannot transfer using the SMB drive

I think I'll try Syncthing to sync to local folders, but that's a real last resort

I don't know why it was working before Lost Colony

[young dove]

OK so...You have access rights but on one of the affected servers can you actually write to the share?

Like..from a broken server, can you create a text file or something in the SMB share?

[meager sleet]

Yeah, all file access is good

Share access is good

[young dove]

And you can manually copy a file off the share with no problem on any of the servers?

[meager sleet]

Yep, no issues there

[young dove]

Dang.

[meager sleet]

Share and folder perms are R/W

And haven't changed since LC came out

[young dove]

I'm assuming you map this drive to a letter on all the machines?

[meager sleet]

Yes, that's right

[young dove]

Nothing from Windows Update got installed from when it was working and now?

Sorry, I'm just throwing ideas out there because it's a really odd problem.

[meager sleet]

No big quarterly updates or anything like that, just the usual defender patches etc

[young dove]

Is Windows Defender interfering with this, you think?

[meager sleet]

Well, now that you mention it I could try disabling it

[young dove]

To be sure...you are certain the .arkprofile file is not being created on the destination server?

During a transfer?

[meager sleet]

Yeah it's not. I can see the transfer file is created in the cluster transfer folder by the uploading server, but it is not being picked up by the target server

[young dove]

I feel like this is something that should show up in the system logs if it's a filesystem problem.

Well...not a filesystem problem, per se...But like..."hey I couldn't write this file to <path> because of <reason>"

Sorry, it's like...almost 5am my time and I haven't been to bed at all yet.

[meager sleet]

Well, thanks for listening anyway 😄

I'll try that Defender thing then maybe give Syncthing a try, as a hail mary

[young dove]

What I will say, however, that based on the roughly 10 years I've been hosting ARK servers, the transfer system is implemented terribly. There is no validation at all that happens during the process. Transfer is initiated, the server just dumps the data to the cluster location, and whatever happens happens.

It's been so unreliable for my clan that I have taken to backing up the .arkprofile files every five minutes and keeping about 2 weeks worth of the backups on hand for the moment when that does die.

I've had to get a bit creative with PowerShell. 😛

[meager sleet]

Yeah, it's frustrating. I tried using "-converttostore -usestore -BackupTransferPlayerDatas" flags, that's supposed to put characters into the save files, but it doesn't seem to have done anything

[young dove]

So I didn't implement the convert to store or use store options because I actually want those .arkprofile files.

[meager sleet]

Yes, it would mean when a transfer goes wrong, it would affect every single character on the servers

[young dove]

As far as I can tell, the server transfer basically takes the .arkprofile file and the shard out of the database that contains the player's character data and makes a single file of...junk out of it. It then dumps that file in the cluster directory and the destination server picks that up, inserts the character data back into the database, and then puts the .arkprofile file into the server save directory.

[meager sleet]

I might crack open one of those files and see if it's just the .arkprofile file

[young dove]

From what I can tell, outside of transfers, the .arkprofile file is basically just a pointer that ties someone's ID platform ID (Steam, Epic, Microsoft, Sony, etc..) to the character data inside the database.

[meager sleet]

I think it's got some other stuff in it, it changes size depending on how long the character is around/level etc

New players = very small .arkprofile

[young dove]

What usually ends up happening for us is that when a transfer goes bad, that person doesn't actually lose their character. Instead, their sleeping body is still on the source server, either at the terminal or obelisk or whatever.

[meager sleet]

This is the problem is that it's not happening that way for me

It's outright deleting the .arkprofile from everywhere

It should see the temporary file in the clusterdir, but it doesn't

[young dove]

When they try to reconnect, the .arkprofile file is missing so they get told to create a new character. So what I do is i restore their .arkprofile from backup, put it back on the source server (or whichever server their body is on), and they're good.

[meager sleet]

Yeah that is what happens here too

[young dove]

Yeah, that's why I take a scheduled snapshot every five minutes of all the .arkprofiles.

[meager sleet]

Well, first they get told to pick where to spawn, but then it bounces back to character creation

So I guess at that point it's failing to download the file and dies

[young dove]

If their body is still on the source server, you can just recover their .arkprofile and put it back on the source and they should be fine.

[meager sleet]

Yeah, that is what I have been doing, but they tend to lose their stuff, too

XP, engrams retained, inventory lost

[young dove]

Well, another standing rule we have is that you always make the jump naked. Everything you want to take with you is stored in the transmitter/obelisk's inventory and picked up again on the other side.

[meager sleet]

Shouldn't need to do that 😄

[unique forge]

Hello my American friends, how can I fix the problem when my version is 361.8 and the server version I want to access is 361.4?

[meager sleet]

Sensible given how unstable it is

[young dove]

The game is about as stable as my ex. I plan for what is is true, not for what I wish were true. 😄

[meager sleet]

A wise philosophy

[young dove]

Ten years plus of hosting this game for my clan, both ASE and now ASA. At one point I had every single map for ASE going on my server in one giant cluster.

I started shaving my head so I couldn't pull my hair out.

[unique forge]

Hello my American friends, how can I fix the problem when my version is 361.8 and the server version I want to access is 361.4?

hello brater and you to

[meager sleet]

Yeah I have been running servers for a while, too, ASE was running on Linux with LinuxGSM, I used syncthing for the clusterdirs, worked surprisingly well

[young dove]

A small variance in version can be expected and work fine. You would likely get an error saying mismatch on join. If you get a version mismatch error on join, your only option is to wait until the server updates.

[vagrant coyote]

IM CRAINING!!!!!🥵

[rapid knoll]

Guys anyone else is having trouble to run linux ascended servers as well? i deleted all 6 dlls as usual but it just wont run

[fresh shell]

Hi , anyone have problems with your veilwyns? They get low and go to recover but never come back ? The whistle in your inventory and the companion timer disappears! The dino disappears from the tribe dino list! This happened to me 5 times in Lost colony since release. The one lost today was 89% xp completion for evolution too!! Please wildcard do something

[young dove]

It's craining outside right now, I think. 😛

[meager sleet]

Thanksgiving is over, too late in the year for crainberry sauce

[celest halo]

Does it just hang or does it crash out, I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I found the problem dll last time by looking through the crash log

[exotic orbit]

I figured out the steamcmd to revert the update back to the one 2 days ago: ./steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /arktestservers/ServerFiles/arkserver +login anonymous +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +app_update 2430930 3255762405623424571 validate +quit

[rapid knoll]

it crashes and logs says something about audio issues

[celest halo]

Okay, it’s 6;23am for me, if work is slow I might have time while at work to look and see if I can find issue this time around. If not won’t be till I get home

You using proton or wine

[rapid knoll]

proton

[celest halo]

Okay that’s what I use also

[radiant pine]

I am also having issues starting my servers this morning, also running on Linux using Pterodactyl panel. I have run this cluster for almost 2 years now with little to no issue, but today they just didn't start after a routine nightly reboot. It gets to where it tries to load the mods and just gets stuck. I even deleted the one it was stuck on in case that was the culprit but it just sticks on the next one.

Anyone else seeing this?

[meager sleet]

Okay! The problem is solved. I was using a mapped drive via an SMB share to connect to the ClusterDir. Wildcard changed something in the Lost Colony patch such that the process checking and downloading no longer exists in the same context as the user session running the main game process. The solution is to use mklink to create a symlink to the remote UNC path for the ClusterDir. The symlink is visible to all the processes and thus the files become visible.

[celest halo]

Wonder what they changed I use a NFS share on Linux and didn't have that issue

[meager sleet]

NFS would have been mounted through fstab, so it wouldn't be specific to a user session... Windows problems

[celest halo]

A lot of people on Linux are having issues after last night's patch (that has no patch notes)

[meager sleet]

I'm guessing it's a security thing

[celest halo]

Could be, I run all my servers with the same user id number so don't run in to the permissions issue on the NFS share

[exotic orbit]

So I just confirmed that 77.34 is the problem with servers not booting and you need to revert back to 77.27 to get your servers to boot back up

I was never able to get steamcmd to work but I was able to use DepotDownloader tool and then transfer the files it downloaded to my server files directory to replace the bad files

[visual skiff]

So a sneaky patch broke linux server's ?

[exotic orbit]

I don't know if it was specifically Linux servers but mine do run in a Docker container using Proton so maybe it is limited to Linux Proton/Wine

[iron bronze]

I'm on Pterodactyl and my servers are having the same issue it seems

Don't know if that means anything

[visual skiff]

Using Pok here on ubuntu, silently stop after loading mods i guess

[exotic orbit]

Yeah that is the issue

I also use Pok on Ubuntu and was able to recover my servers by using DepotDownloader and replacing the files with what it downloaded

[iron bronze]

And it's not like we are gonna get any sign of WC knowing about/fixing it I guess...

[exotic orbit]

DepotDownloader.exe -app 2430930 -depot 2430931 -manifest 3255762405623424571 -username <username>

That is to download the patch from 2 days ago with DepotDownloader

You have to login with a valid user as it won't let you download the old manifest with anonymous

[radiant pine]

Trying this now, thanks for the tip!

[iron bronze]

Do we think WC even know about the issue??

[radiant pine]

Hope so, but better question how soon even if so, will it get fixed on Christmas Eve... Hoping that workaround @exotic orbit posted works to get my servers back up!

[iron bronze]

Yea...I'm trying to avoid doing any rollbacks...

[celest halo]

Not the first time WC broke it on Linux

[radiant pine]

What a great Christmas gift from Wildcard! =b

[iron bronze]

Yes lol

[celest halo]

I need to update my test server to see if can figure out what they did this time, don't look like they added any dll files like last time they broke it

[iron bronze]

If you find anything, please let me know

[celest halo]

I'm at work, so not sure how much digging around going to be able to do till I get home

[visual skiff]

damn

Found this on steam

I added:

environment:
  - SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse
  - PULSE_SERVER=unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native
  - WINEDEBUG=-all

and

volumes:
  - /run/user/1000/pulse:/run/user/1000/pulse

it wasnt working first, so I had to follow theses steps
[LINK REDACTED] <- Basically you need to download MS xaudio2_9redist.dll and put it in the folder where ArkSurvivalAscended.exe is

and now it works

(can't link image here)

[celest halo]

what are they doing lmao, its a dedicated server what it need audio for

[iron bronze]

Voice chat??

[celest halo]

i didnt have to do that for it to work,
first test failed with proton version i was using
updated to a newer verson of proton and its working 😂

proton 9 = not working
proton 10 = working

[radiant pine]

Grabbing these files and replacing them on my servers did the trick for now. Thanks @exotic orbit !

[proven tinsel]

Our server owner didn't update proton, his workaround was:
"Servers now load the entire BinkMediaPlayer on startup, which Proton can't handle because XAudio2 isn't fully implemented. However, this can be easily disabled using DLLOverride, so the server then loads the videos without sound.

Windows can load it, sure, but the logic behind it... oO"

[celest halo]

3658110 is the app id for the proton 10 version thats working for me with the latest update

[celest halo]

proton 10 has that Proton 10 is a significant update to Valve's compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux, bringing major audio improvements by refining its XAudio2 implementation

[iron bronze]

How can I apply that to Pterodactyl?

[celest halo]

you would need them to update the egg to use proton 10

[iron bronze]

Does Pterodactyl even have anything to do with Proton?

Ah

That I understand

[celest halo]

only down side to using docker, the image needs to be updated

[celest halo]

upgrading to proton 10 fixed it for me

[rapid knoll]

the problem was with "xaudio2_9" missing i did install it and its working on 9

[celest halo]

yeah proton 10 has that in it

[rapid knoll]

i will have to check it later how to update it 😄 thanks anyway

[celest halo]

yeah i use proton right from steam, not the one from github most people use

[iron bronze]

Anywhere I could grab the file that will work Pterodactyl? Cos I don't know when i'm gonna be able to get my egg updated. I am with GSH and they do all that....might be some time tho...

[celest halo]

i havent looked to see where to get it maybe @rapid knoll can let you know where they got it from

[celest halo]

looking at the egg it pulls ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/steamcmd:proton but i cant find what version of proton its using

[jagged garnet]

Has anyone tried -allowicefox with preventdinodownloads=false to see if the ice fox param by chance prevents non ice fox downloads?

[iron bronze]

I have no idea lol

[rapid knoll]

if its using ark server manager it has "GE-Proton9-21" and need to change it to "GE-Proton10-27"

[celest halo]

me either all i can find is that one and one taged to use proton 8

[celest halo]

its not the json for the egg pulls a docker image ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/steamcmd:proton

all they list for proton egg is

ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/steamcmd:proton
SteamCMD Proton
ghcr.io/ptero-eggs/steamcmd:proton_8
``` so going to guess they dont have one for 10 made

[iron bronze]

I think I got it!

[rapid knoll]

leave Docker Image: Set it to ghcr.io/parkervcp/steamcmd:proton
and change startup command setting to PROTON_VERSION="GE-Proton10-27"

[snow gorge]

Not sure if this problem belongs in this chanel or another, but on the LC map are no spawns of the Caches/outposts outside of the city area (on the comunty cluster im playing at)

[celest halo]

check GUS and make sure these are not 0

MaxActiveOutposts=
MaxActiveResourceCaches=
MaxActiveCityOutposts=

[snow gorge]

ill send that to our admin team tyvm and merry christmas

[cloud light]

Hey hi, are you using pterodactyl? If yes what egg are you using?

[celest halo]

I do not

[cloud light]

What you use ?

[celest halo]

I don't use any docker or managers, I do manual installs

Pretty much for this reason, I get full control without having to try and edit a docker image

[cloud light]

how’s the performance of Proton 10 compared to GE-Proton 8-32, and are you installing directly on the host ?

[spice wyvern]

Can someone help? I’m running a Lost Colony server through Nitrado and can’t get any outposts to spawn. I’ve tried setting the settings to 10, 10, 5. Now I’m setting them to completely blank. I just can’t figure it out. I’ve flown around the map hundreds of times and nothing will spawn. I’ve not tried the city as I’m looking for the spawns outside of the city

[celest halo]

Not home to play but server is using same amount of ram it was when on proton 9

[celest halo]

I don't use ge-proton and install right on the vm

[snow galleon]

Is there any command that would allow me to lower my character level? I killed enraged manta and gaind 40 lvls but i like slow progress

[celest halo]

I have mine set to 4 and don't do an auto dino wipe on server start and I get them fine

[spice wyvern]

I had changed the map to do Dino wipe on server restart. Do you think that’s what is causing it?

[celest halo]

Some people have said it causes issue with them, I never tested it to see

[marsh pilot]

we removed dinowipe at startup. that fixed our server and outpost spawning fine now

[spice wyvern]

How long after a server restart/dino wipe did it take to spawn in? We just stopped doing the Dino wipes on server restart about an hour ago

[rancid burrow]

HALP! All of the animated skins on my servers are showing underneath the Crafting tab vs in the Cosmetics area. How can I make this change?

[cloud light]

do you run into issues with city patrols causing this error?

n64/AsaApiLoader.exe: ../src-wine/dlls/ntdll/unix/virtual.c:1602: create_view: Assertion '!((UINT_PTR)base & page_mask)' failed

I’ve been able to keep the server stable using -nopatrols, or are patrols working fine on your server?

[celest halo]

I haven't had any issues with them

[swift glade]

Goodmorning. Asked Could days i asked for help with gathering issues. For example berrys only gather 1 or 2 while everything is gathering at 20. Idk what im doing wrong here

Made sure these weren't zeeo
MaxActiveOutposts=
MaxActiveResourceCaches=
MaxActiveCityOutposts=

[swift glade]

This is for rag

[iron bronze]

Are you talking about harvest multiplier?

[swift glade]

Yeah been having issues with them for the couple days

[iron bronze]

Are you on Nitrado or do you host your server?

[swift glade]

Yes

Nitrado

[iron bronze]

Okay, in the general settings of your server, look for Harvest Amount Multiplier and see what it's set to. I can't remember how much you get if it's default, but if it's at 1, it is default and you want to raise it. I would suggest setting it to 3 and see how that feels ^^

[halcyon shell]

has anyone else noticed after leveling thralls, come back later and they have original stats but their level is still higher

[rancid pagoda]

Anyone having a restart loop when removing the Human_NPCs_ASA mod?

[wise kindle]

Use 20, 20, 20

[wise kindle]

Use 20, 20, 20 for those maxactive settings.
For harvesting, use larger numbers such as 5x but try to stay under 10.
Also be sure the server is fully stopped before changing settings.

Also be sure to make these changes from the General tab, not the ini.

[grim zephyr]

thats for lost colony ini settings ?

[wise kindle]

Yes

Tho mods that do things like dino wipes mess things up

[grim zephyr]

because no outposts spawning atm at our cluster

[wise kindle]

?
I have zero actionable information here.

[obtuse coral]

Hi, what the setting to allow the snow pathing ? I heard it was "enable foliage & fluid interaction" which is already on, but it doesn't seems to work ?

[wise kindle]

It only works in deep snow.

Not all snow shows pathing.

[reef thistle]

Hey, anyone here use arkshop api and may be able to help with some questions i have?

[hybrid spindle]

Anyone know what would cause the Defense Outposts and Resource Caches to not spawn? City Missions are spawning fine. The INI settings is set to 6 for all 3 of them, but it seems like the server is ignoring it. Has anyone found a mod that is causing this conflict?

[celest halo]

Having auto dino wipe on server start has been the cause for a bunch of people

[hybrid spindle]

do you know if the destroywilddinos command does it too? Or is it just the command line one doing it?

[celest halo]

Not sure I haven't tested it

Mine work fine, but I haven't done a dino wipe since starting that map

[hybrid spindle]

Appreciate the insight

[fair forum]

Hello i got a error

i downloaded ark survival evolved after a long time i want to play with my friend but when i join him i keep getting this error i can make a singeplayer world and play it but when i try to join him i get this error i would appreciete help.

this is not the full error but i cant send it here

LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\ASE\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\NetConnection.cpp] [Line: 517]
UNetConnection::ValidateSendBuffer: Out.IsError() == true. NumBits: 4046, NumBytes: 506, MaxBits: 4096

[obtuse coral]

Ohh ok thanks !
Do you have some coordinates so I can see if it works well ?

[wise kindle]

Try in the open snow fields, it gets deep there. I do not have coords.

[obtuse coral]

That’s strange, because I am in a snow field but nothing happens except a strange light blue shadow…

Can you show me your graphic settings maybe ?

[wise kindle]

Default.

I literally never touch them server side or client side.

[sleek nacelle]

what does this "MaxActiveOutpostsSP" do?

[celest halo]

set the max active outpost for single player

[woven crane]

I'm seeing some odd behavior with stasis.

If I recall correctly, in ASE, a pegomastix could eat a wyvern to death from across the map (opposite corner, well out of render).
On ASA, if I die, both my tame and whatever was chewing on it goes into stasis, meaning I can come back in a week and my tame will only be missing a few health. This also impacts raising. Myself and my players are noticing that raising babies during this event (we use smalltribes dynamicconfig) takes 2-3 times as long as they should; ie: wyvs take 48-72 hours on 4x.

I'm having trouble finding a flag that will reliably mitigate or even straight up disable stasis (compute isn't a problem); -preventhibernation is singleplayer only and allegedly things just don't hibernate in dedi. I had previously tried -StasisKeepControllers, however this led to bootloops until I deleted the savegame, even with -GBUsageToForceRestart=0 set.

What am I missing?

[narrow hatch]

Any1 knows creator/modder who sell small custom unofficial maps? Dm me

[young dove]

So as I understand it and based on a combined total of about 5000 hours of playtime in both ASE as well as ASA, global timers for things like maturation ticks, feed interval, taming, and so forth are not subject to suspension via stasis on dedicated multiplayer servers. What is affected by stasis on dedicated servers is things like AI pathing, combat, environment interactions (trees knocking down, bushes waving when walked through, etc..).

I believe this is not the case for non-dedicated servers where one of the players is hosting the server session on the same machine that the game is being played on.

[woven crane]

It's possible I'm barking up the wrong tree, it's just incredibly odd to me that I can watch a baby raise at the correct rate, set a timer for when it should be done, log off, come back when the timer goes off, and it's only half as raised as expected. My players are noticing this, too.

It's not impossible that there's an unrelated issue where server restarts halt the timers until someone pops in since WC pushes 3 server updates a week.

Just to confirm, combat was enabled in stasis on ASE but is now disabled with no option on ASA, correct? I miss having to sprint back to my tames after I die by them and having to find where that high level giga wandered off to after sprinting back to base for a trap and darts.

My players are experiencing this issue as well on other maps in my cluster.

[vast flare]

I tested this exact thing. I was also able to download other dinos.

[young dove]

Absent being able to see the ASA source code for the server daemon, I can't say with certainty that combat is disabled in ASA via stasis nor can I say with certainty exactly how timers and ticks are handled in relation to player proximity. I do know that there are no configuration INI options for dedicated servers that change or disable stasis directly. The only thing I know of is the INI options that govern hatching times, taming, imprint multipliers, and growth rates.

[jagged garnet]

Dang, yeah I have been trying to find a way but nothing. I made a bug report but leave it to wildcard to give us something without actually making sure it works. #aquaticmushrooms

[woven crane]

RIght. I just can't help but think it's a me problem since I can't seem to find anyone complaining about this issue on true officials. Same with the upload cooldown for inventory items.

I tried to run strings on a few things to dig for undocumented options, but I was unable to find anything that the wiki said exists, so was clearly out of my depth.

Thanks for the insight

[lavish spade]

I am going to seek help through here since Nitrado's support is being utterly useless:

Why is my Lost Colony server not showing up on my server list? I've refreshed countless times, restarted my computer, restarted my server, restored backups, removed all of my mods, changed the server name, and nothing has helped. No, my server is not in a restart loop. No, the version number isn't above my ram either.

[swift glade]

Ty

[mortal ravine]

i host ASA server on my laptop (32gb max) i play solo. how do i reduce Ping, by it i mean when i throw cryopod i need to throw it few times for it to work (its random). just died while taming ossidon)
i cant connect my devices directly with cable only wifi

[tight cedar]

Well since steam is currently shitting itself guess ill ask some questions

Ive been having issues on my cluster in regards to chat
Its stuck in local text chat only and mic chat is just... random
Any suggestions or advice?

[willow cape]

Where do i put the veilwyn cooldown line in, Game settings or GameUserSettings?

[celest halo]

gus

[ripe wadi]

What setting would one use to fix how long it takes veilwyns to adventure?

[low dew]

@tight cedar you have your gus set to only use proxy / local

[tight cedar]

Ah alright do you know how i should set it in the .ini?

[low dew]

Additional Notes & Troubleshooting
Alternative Option: Some versions or configurations may require DisableGlobalChat=true.
Proximity Text Chat: If you want to ensure chat is strictly within range, ensure EnableProximityTextChat is set to True.
Voice Chat: To limit voice to local/proximity only, use bDisableGlobalVoice=True or ensure the server is not in global voice mode.
Player Hotkeys: Even if global chat is enabled on the server, players can use Insert on PC to specifically send messages in local chat.
Applying Changes: Ensure you save the file and restart the server after making these changes. @tight cedar

[tight cedar]

Thank you so much

[round birch]

Just updated my dedi servers to 77.34 and getting a ticking loop they are not going Live.. Anyone any info pls

[celest halo]

status says EOS is down

[fierce timber]

Why is it that I need Center/Val to play on Lost Colony in SP but not on a server? Bruh

Why is this trash setup still a thing same as in ASE 😭

[celest halo]

prob because a server has all the assets from all the maps that it needs

[keen bough]

Anyone else in here use ASCT (Ark server creation tool) to host?

[fierce timber]

Pretty sure the game has all the assets in and of itself, not the map. I remember the Center doing the same garbage back in ASE and it offers nothing. I could play SP prior to Center with the same mods but not after because suddenly there's a bs Center dependency for whatever braindead reason, lol.

[acoustic pendant]

My server is now up and some players are able to join without issue but it's still giving me the player1 login error.. does anyone know any fixes? (already verified game files and restarted my pc)

[crisp jasper]

Mine too😭

[modern rivet]

@acoustic pendant not working on Xbox either keep restarting the game and trying and keeps tell me I must be signed in to play online

[lean ore]

Our servers still won't start. We get the console message “Server has successfully started,” but the status display on the server console still shows “Ticking loop.”

[hexed pike]

Same

[low dew]

anyone have issues with club ark going into a ticking loop ?

[lean ore]

Not just Club Ark, but all 16 of our servers

[low dew]

ok i was just in the process of setting up

the others were green and i was trying to figure out why club ark wouldent start

[celest halo]

there is a reason they took official servers off-line

[lean ore]

you think the reason is that the ark network is "offline"?

[celest halo]

steam and EOS where both having issues

EOS is now saying they back online and there monitoring service health

now they back to red

[lean ore]

from where you get the status information?

[celest halo]

Investigating - We're seeing that players are unable to log-in again and are working to restore service. We'll provide more info as we have an update.
Dec 25, 2025 - 06:48 UTC```

[celest halo]

link is in #status-updates

[crisp jasper]

My servers arnen't ticking anymore, they're loading

[low dew]

ah yes there all down now

[celest halo]

yeah EOS was back for about an hour now saying down again lol

if you go by there stauts page

[low dew]

ya i got ticking loop on 7 servers now

its all good not like i wanted to play ark anyways

lol

[crisp jasper]

lol

loading again...

or not

[willow crystal]

11 maps the same ...

[crisp jasper]

looks like they are going up now, but thats happened before

its weird because the island and scorched load then abb ticks

Server has completed startup and is now advertising for join. (10.01GB Mem)

lol I don't know

[willow crystal]

one map are online... next map: Requested mods failed to load on server.

🙃

[celest halo]

that would be a CF issue 😂

they must of felt left out

[willow crystal]

my maps are all back online

[grim zephyr]

outposts working again ?

[grim zephyr]

under what header this need to be ?

for outposts

[grim zephyr]

you german right ?

[carmine cipher]

it´s in the patch notes all

[carmine cipher]

(Under [ServerSettings] in GameUsersettings):

[grim zephyr]

MaxActiveOutposts=6
MaxActiveResourceCaches=6
MaxActiveCityOutposts=6
MaxActiveOutpostsSP=1
MaxActiveResourceCachesSP=6
MaxActiveCityOutpostsSP=1

whats the sp 's ?

[carmine cipher]

Sp SinglePlayer

[grim zephyr]

okay

[willow crystal]

yes, why?

[grim zephyr]

du führst ja auch ein cluster glaube ich , vielleicht können wir uns bisschen austauschen 🙂

[willow crystal]

von welchem server bist du denn?

[grim zephyr]

ziemloich neu seit 4 wochen, Ark Globe

[carmine cipher]

denke daran Dinowild kill auszuschalten sonst spawnen die outposts nicht 🙂

[plush burrow]

It did seem to help the server i play with my buds. But we also did a handful of things at the time to make fixes like stripping our spawn interference mods etc

[willow crystal]

sagt mir nix, bei austausch idealerweise dem aca beitreten ark-cluster.de

[grim zephyr]

ah okay , versuch ich mal zu bewerben XD

[shell laurel]

since the little update server crashes on start with Fatal error and many unknown functions

[worthy socket]

I’m new to setup trying to get mod to help with admin (console) do have pc for server access trying to get where everyone get all levels no boss needed is the there a mod for this

[vital bolt]

anybody know how to fix outpost not spawning in LC? maybe an ini fix?

[plush burrow]

3 ini codes

or an option wth text in the nitrado general settings

it seems 10/10/5 are the choice

[vital bolt]

thank you!

[plush burrow]

you're welcome if i can help i will, it took me weeks to learn all this on ASE and thanfully its got a bit easier with beacon and the like

[stone gust]

Is there a mod with prefabs of hobbit like homes or good shadowmane where the spawn on the wild ?

[sick tapir]

Anyone else having a problem with their servers not starting? I've been playing fine last weekend, updated my server to the latest version this morning and now it keeps coming up with server not responding. Deleted all the server files and reinstalled everything on a fresh the island world, still not booting up

[wintry bone]

I'm having issues too. I rolled back to an old snapshot before I updated and they started fine.

[shell laurel]

my server has been having fatal errors on launch. since the little update, whatever that 18MB was, no notes. I sent in the crash log

asa

[celest halo]

dont know what they changed but mine starts fine on 77.43

[shell laurel]

the log makes me think they mixed a console and pc build lot of unknown functions to address 000000

[celest halo]

might be a bad install/update, both my rag and lost colony server started with the newest update that has no patch notes

[wintry bone]

fun. I'm running Ark on my linux server in docker via wine. I'm getting some new errors about sound (ALSA) and after that it sits for a bit then dies. I validated the install to see. I haven't attempted to disable mods. I might start a new server and see if that works.

[shell laurel]

same wiith linux. thinking about nuking the steam directory and let it relload

[sick tapir]

Same here, something with a sound plugin not loading correctly

[wintry bone]

disabling mods didn't help. Going to try a fresh install

[sick tapir]

I did a fresh install, same errors

Hope you get something different

[wintry bone]

I guess I can try but I won't hold my breathe

[sick tapir]

I hope they push an update to fix this issue. For all I can tell it's not on my end after troubleshooting all morning

[celest halo]

prob missing the XAudio2 dll, i had to switch from proton 9 to proton 10 to get mine working again after the 77.34 update

[celest halo]

WC wont the XAudio2 update works fine with windows

[sick tapir]

I'm trying to manually add the XAudio2 file right now, I'll see if that works

[shell laurel]

anybody use acekorneya/asa_server pokmanager script for their server ?

thanks for the tip on switching to Proton 10. The unknown functions are related to XAudio2. I need to work out how to get 10 in my system then

[sick tapir]

Alright, after manually adding the DLL my server booted up again

[shell laurel]

where did you get the file and where did you put it please

[sick tapir]

Ah yeah, can't post links here X_X The article is called install-missing-xaudiodll-linux-ark-survival-ascended-server on the website called bukanier

It will tell you where to install it and what to put in the folder

[celest halo]

yeah can only post links from https://ark.wiki.gg/

[sick tapir]

You basically need to download the Microsoft.XAudio2.Redist package, extract the xaudio2_9redist.dll and put that in the Win64 folder of the server. Should work when you boot up your server after

[shell laurel]

reading it. looks easy enough. knowledge is power and that's half the battle. the other half is violence ;p

[sick tapir]

@celest halo Thanks for telling me about the DLL, otherwise would probably not have looked at installing it manually 😂

[celest halo]

copying file is prob your best bet also, looking at the github for acekorneya/asa_server dont look like they have an easy way to tell it what version of proton to use

[shell laurel]

what was the file size for that dll ? I have 5 listed of the same name with different sizes

[sick tapir]

I'm using proton 10 on mine and still had the issue. So updating to 10 might not work for everyone

[celest halo]

updating to 10 worked for me

and i know a few using ge-proton that it worked for going to 10-27 version

[sick tapir]

Interesting, well at least there are 2 possible fixes now

[shell laurel]

make that 15 files same name

[quick gorge]

is there anyway to let my server do more than 88 levels on a tame?

[sick tapir]

When I downloaded the nukekg file and opened it as zip, following the articles instructions, I only saw 1 file

[viscid iron]

I don't think so. Why would you want to?

[shell laurel]

looks like the docker is using proton 10-20

it appears to be launching will see

[celest halo]

yeah i just find where they have it set to pull the current ge-proton version, so all depends on when the container was built on what version it will have

[shell laurel]

was the file you copied xaudio2_9redist.dll ?

[sick tapir]

yeah

[shell laurel]

k, much better to have the right file

it's running - thanks for the info. Merry Christmas !

[plush burrow]

anyone know the ini for dinos drop quality

[wary coral]

anyone know what setting for nitrado if my outpost arent spawning outside city? i have them on 25 /25/15 still nothing, tried leaving blank etc

[plush burrow]

you have an auto dino wipe on?

[trail salmon]

how do you sett auto wipe on?

[plush burrow]

its a setting within nitrdo, turning it off seems to be fixing the issue for people

[trail salmon]

ok we are having problems with the same, will try to turn it off

[wary coral]

mine wipes on server reset

[trail salmon]

same as mine

but still no outpost

[celest halo]

thats what people are saying causes it

[wary coral]

alright turned it off and restart lets see if it helps

[celest halo]

i get them outside the city and i have them all set to 4, i dont do dino wipe on server start

[wary coral]

single player or non dedi?

[celest halo]

i play on a dedicated server

[wary coral]

cool, thanks for the help! crossing my fingers

[plush burrow]

10/10/5 i think is recomennded to keep thing spawning all over

[reef thistle]

Anyone familiar with the arkshop that might be able to help me out of this hole I'm in please? 😫

[celest halo]

4 for all works, there default was 6 😂 . i had 4 set for when they had the bad memory leak and havnt changed it back

[trail salmon]

so 4/4/4 ?

[celest halo]

depends how many you want active at once, my cluster only has 2 players on it right now so 4 works for us

[wintry bone]

Thanks @celest halo and @sick tapir got my servers working again

[worthy socket]

What the best mod for admins on Xbox

[plush burrow]

the password and the commnd codes 👀 😆

[worthy socket]

New so not great with commends

There was a admin mod that friend got when game came out now can’t find it

[reef thistle]

Probably Admin Panel which has been decom'd

[narrow kindle]

Anyone here have issues with hosting ASA on unraid ?

I am getting an error and its causing my servers to constantly restart 😓

[tacit condor]

anyone else not having high lvls spawn even after setting the official override diffifulty to 5 and above? All I get are lvl 5-70s ish

[timid grotto]

I don't really know if this is happening, but for some reason my game loads all the maps except lost colony. Not sure if it has been mentioned but it started to happen to me just today. It gives me a load screen before kicking me out from the game. Im in play 5 platform.

[radiant pine]

Well new server patch but Linux servers on the latest versions still don't load! 🙁 I have a few servers still rolled back to 77.27 and it runs, but anything past that no luck!

I run on Pterodactyl for reference.

[narrow kindle]

You getting ALSA errors ?

I cannot link links xD I have a post on the unraid thread for ich777 dockers

[radiant pine]

It gets stuck as soon as it tries loading mods. Started yesterday after an overnight patch (with no patch notes). But rolling back to 77.27 boots its fine.

I have tried with my full stack of mods, and deleting the one it gets stuck on, then all but one, and regardless gets stuck loading those mods

[narrow kindle]

If you read the logs it might be saying something like
"ALSA lib bla bla" which is happening to me as well, I found 1 guy on the unraid forum with similar issues and I also went digging through a lot of other logs only to find there seems to be an actual code issue that prevents the server from starting up if it cannot find an audio device

I havent checkedif I can load an older version yet

[radiant pine]

I did see something about audio but wasn't sure they were discussing the same error since mine seems very specific to loading the mods, but will have to look. Will look in logs for what you referred to, but I don't think mine even "fails" it just doesn't progress past tryingt to load mods.

Ah you aren't wrong... I see those errors before it gets stuck at the mod part

[narrow kindle]

It was me and a guy called captain probably

we chatted in unraid in the last hour

honestly it took me forever to find the actual errors

like the 4th last message in the unraid discord about containers has a screenshot from me with the UE5 errors

I am also guessing ptera makes it easy for you to rollback ? 🤣

[radiant pine]

Not so much (at least not that I know of). I had to download the old version via a command line tool someone here recommended (DepotDownloader) and replace the files on for the server to roll back then turn off auto-updates to block it from just reinstall the update

[narrow kindle]

uhg that sounds like so much effort ... I honestly just might wait for a few updates for this to pass

[radiant pine]

Yeah I only did it on Lost Colony as the members in my community were of course itching to play over the holiday, but left the other servers in the cluster in the hopes for an update

[narrow kindle]

At the moment almost all of my friends are not playing so the only real rush was for me 😭 but I am also not in the mood for this to be a manual process for the next bunch of updates

[vale compass]

Can someone check if griphin Can flying thru structures?

[wary creek]

can you use anyone's Oasisaur to revive or does it have to be your tame?

[keen pecan]

[acoustic elm]

Im also having issues with my servers. server says its started, can see it in the list, but whenever i join i timeout/fail to connect error. doesn't even show me trying to connect to the server

[keen pecan]

@acoustic elm check port forwarding, I’ve had something similar before

[acoustic elm]

yep, ports are forwarded. that was the first thing we checked

[kindred ledge]

Does anyone know if there’s a code or Camaro increase the likelihood of a outpost spawning bc I’ve still not seen one

[vivid gull]

Whats the best ARK Ascended server manager? Any tips? Looking for the best one!

[willow crystal]

there a solution for the outposts? they dont spawn outside the city...

[eager iron]

Hi, can I ask questions about how to configure the singleplayer world here?

[manic smelt]

Can anyone explain why a friend of mine and me cant play on my server?
I can join my own server (its LAN only, but have same connection via Router), but he can't due saying to "connection lost/timeout" .
I use steam, he uses Epic, any help?

We tried with open IP:Port console on his machine

[exotic orbit]

The issues with version later than 77.27 is due to the xaudio2 DLL being missing from the Win64 folder for Linux Proton/Wine servers so to fix it follow the steps below and also upgrade to GE-Proton10-27. Note I wasn't able to post the full HTML for the wget so add https:// to the front of the URL. Credit for this fix goes to Deciphersoul on Github.

wget 'www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/Microsoft.XAudio2.Redist/1.2.11' -O xaudio2.nupkg
unzip xaudio2.nupkg -d xaudio2_extract

The DLL is at: xaudio2_extract/build/native/release/bin/x64/xaudio2_9redist.dll

Copy DLL to Each Server's Win64 Folder
cp xaudio2_9redist.dll /path/to/server/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/xaudio2_9.dll
chmod 775 /path/to/server/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/xaudio2_9.dll
chown 7777:7777 /path/to/server/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/xaudio2_9.dll

Also of course with the chown change it to whatever user and group your servers run off of this is specifically for POK server manager

[cloud light]

Hi are you using asa api ?

[exotic orbit]

No

[frank gulch]

Anyone know to add the stats mode to show many points into your player or dino like Health [5][0][500]

[last bramble]

is there a way to join my self hosted dedicated ark survival evolved server with a password on epic games? i can't find a solution online, it just kicks me for "empty password field"

[radiant pine]

Thanks @exotic orbit, let me give this a shot! Not sure about the whole Proton upgrade using Pterodactyl but will see what I can come up with! 🙂

[exotic orbit]

You might be ok without the upgrade just recommended

Also just a warning if you do a steam update directly in the server files directory it very well may delete that extra DLL file so you might have to copy it back in after every update

POK server manager doesn't update directly in the server files directory though so I haven't had to worry about that

[eager iron]

So, I want to play in my singleplayer world and I would like to config the world like the unofficial server that I was playing because I like how the stats scale and everything. Is there anyway to copy the config of that server and then setup my singleplayer like that?

[radiant pine]

@exotic orbit - Just adding that DLL worked perfect! Thank you for the info, GREATLY appreciated!

[quaint musk]

so i have a small problem of my outposts outside of the city not spawning

[celest halo]

sounds like you do auto dino wipe on server start

[obtuse sluice]

What settings work for 100% imprint in a single player world

[quaint musk]

no i don't have auto wipe set up

[celest halo]

you check these are not set to 0

MaxActiveOutposts=
MaxActiveResourceCaches=
MaxActiveCityOutposts=

[ebon musk]

i have the same issue

[acoustic elm]

so im getting the ALSA errors with my servers. i could join them just fine yesterday, today i can't join any of them unless i have completely removed my GUS.ini

[lyric void]

Hi! I’m a server owner and I was wanted to know if there was a way that I could add some of the Lost Colony creatures to my Extinction map? Specifically the foxes and the big noodle dragon 🖤

[fleet drum]

hey, i got a little but on my nitrado serv, i try to up dino level but nothing work.. i make on .ini Overridediff at 15 and offdiff at 15 but still lvl 20-50
do you have the solution please ? Sorry for my bad english

[pure haven]

i have everything set to 20 and still no outposts outside of the city

[sterile stirrup]

Hello, I am running a small PVE server for a few friends on ASA. We are able to loot people and boxes who are not in our tribe, how can I fix this?

[low dew]

@fleet drum your settings are incorrect probably why there not working

[fleet drum]

Do you know how can i fix it ?

[low dew]

@sterile stirrup server setting for forceautolocking

[jagged garnet]

anyone know what setting affects solwyn interaction cooldown?

[timid estuary]

Does anyone know how to fix the cryo pod bug where stats double on a high Boosted pvp?

[fleet drum]

max difficulty On, is okay for level dino 80+ 150 etc.. ?

[timid estuary]

I set the max lvl dino spawn for 300. If I admin spawn in for exact stats and give moderate base stats but cap the muts on ho and damage with 255, the stats double after lvl'ing and poding

Just hp tho

[acoustic pendant]

How do I view the server console from the nitrado website?

[narrow kindle]

Could you please reference the git somewhere ? I tried these steps and its still not working for me

[granite terrace]

ForceAllStructureLocking=True in the GUS.ini

[frosty burrow]

Can,t seem to transfer my player to lost have it cluster upload fine be no download for survivor at lost spawn screen

anyone one else having trouble tranferring

[lean ore]

Hello,
it is normal that Veilwyns only spawn with max level 100?
I've been observing this on our server for several days now. But since Lost Colony, Veilwyns never spawn higher than level 100.

[somber quartz]

I want to decrease the harvest health to 33%, would I have to increase the harvest amount multiplier by 3 to get the same amount?

[lean ore]

HarvestHealthMultiplier=0.33

[somber quartz]

I know that part. but do I have to increase the harvestamountmulitplier from 1 to 3 to get the same amount of stuff from trees or rocks?

[lean ore]

i think so

[spice wyvern]

Does anyone know how to fix the game timing out if you ascend on Lost Colony? I have no implant now and when I access my inventory it bugs out and freezes my game basically

[fossil marlin]

Good morning guys and merry xmas. Is anyone here who have the same problem that alpha's are really rare on servers like ragnarok. Can i change the max chance to spawn alphas (raptor, rek, carno, tuso, etc) tusos trench are empty artefakt is free to get...

[fossil marlin]

You mean the configfiles in nitrado webinterface? On left side in settings you have configfiles there you can switch between game ini and gameusersettings ini.. if you mean that

[acoustic pendant]

nah i mean the console that allows you to run commands without having to be in the game, i couldnt figure out how to do it w/ nitrado but some server hosts i used to use in ASE had it

[fossil marlin]

Ah ok for that i only know the filezilla remote control. Maybe it work with that. If there is a console in nitrado i dont know that

[lean ore]

you mean the RCON interface?

[acoustic pendant]

Yep that’s exactly it

[lean ore]

Search for Arkon Tool

[quiet talon]

Is speed leveling disabled on Lost Colony? I can't seem to get it to work on my server

[keen sinew]

hey, am i in the right place here to get help with Setting up my unofficial server Cluster?
Hours of looking through old reddit posts doesnt cut it anymore

[fossil marlin]

what problem you have?

[keen sinew]

I got a cluster currently on 2 servers (island and Astraeos) and they are visible in the game menu but when i try to connect i get timeouted.
I already tested if its a Me-issue but i can join a different server just fine, its just my cluster that is weird

[fossil marlin]

you tried out to restart your server? maybe reinstall the server?

[keen sinew]

i am using ASAM and restarted them over that Manager already yes

[lean ore]

You should need the server exe file to allow communicat throw the firewall

[keen sinew]

is that the port rule TCP and UDP? becuase i already have done that for ports 7778 and 7777

wich schould cover both servers becuse thats the ports i set them on

[worldly mantle]

Hi, is there any way to make the dinosaurs lay more unfertilized eggs? I have the Oviraptors in place, but the dinosaurs aren't laying any unfertilized eggs. I don't know if I need to change something in the ini file.

[lean ore]

All females are in the near of a male? you looked into the Oviraptor? default he'll pick up the eggs and stored in the inventar.

And these the game.ini setting for laying eggs

LayEggIntervalMultiplier=1

[austere needle]

did someone get icefox traveling working ?

*on selfhost

[worldly mantle]

I have it set to LayEggIntervalMultiplier=10, I'll change it to 1 and see if that's the problem. Thanks for the help.

[lean ore]

1 is default value.
I think with 10 they need 10 times as normal

[white garnet]

anyone else seeing an insane overspawn of baryonyx in the south west part of LC, around 80,8?

[lean ore]

We had the same thing a few days ago. DestroyWildDinos helped.

[white garnet]

yeah i just did one a couple hours ago after updating to the patch that supposedly fixed overspawns lol

[kind sandal]

hi

[timber stirrup]

anyone have any silver bullet for the ark inventory timeout issue? even after changing a cluster ID it still happens, one person on my server seems to be getting hit pretty hard with it as well.

[broken halo]

Lower value means more eggs you can google settings for a pretty fair explanation of what each value means so you know which ones to increase or decrease hope it helps

[terse bison]

Hey there,
Where can i find the "no foundation needed" config?
A mod i installed (i think Structures Plus (S+)) has an Item that recommends that setting being turned on

[boreal glen]

Having a problem started a second server on my dedicated server.

Initializing Steam Subsystem for server validation.
Steam Subsystem initialized: FAILED

No matter the order I launch the maps, the second server always fails and sometimes goes online and sometimes tries for a very long time. After 15 mins, I shut it down.

[zenith kayak]

Anyone's server not showing since the patch last night?

[sullen widget]

So can anybody help me I’m try to build a home server pc to run a ark asa cluster 2-3 maps I just would like some suggestions plz

[indigo viper]

does anyone know haw to deal with ark not working?

I can't do anything in menu

game freezes as soon as i launch it

[plain kiln]

Does anyone else have an issue where the game freezes as you are loading into a map? For me, I have to bring up the Xbox menu on the left side of the screen and wait to see the game menu to pop up.

[clear pendant]

Has anyone been able to get the Defense outpost working?

[young dove]

Sounds to me like possible port overlap. You cannot have two servers running on the same machine using the same ports.

[boreal glen]

not a port issue - both server finally the second server came up even with the second server still said failed on this validation.

[stone bone]

we're running into problems where solwyn's can't build ice structures, as if there's an outpost there, but nothing is there. a destroy wild dino command was sent with the last reset, could it have made outposts invisible, or corrupted the areas?

[cursive rapids]

I need help.
i bought the pack (scorched earth, aberation and extinction years ago) and now i wanna play them again.
but somehow steam says i dont have them anymore. i dont see them in the dlc menu.

[queen crow]

I'm using ASA Dedicated Manager and it works great.

[strong plume]

Does anyone here know the name of the setting that changes the amount of defense outpost spawns? I heard the default for you server could be set to 0-making nothing spawn in but cannot find the actual name of the setting to search for it.

[vivid gull]

Yeah been looking at it. Its pretty good

[slow crane]

Any word on outposts spawning outside the city yet?

[vivid gull]

Anyone else have servers which says its not updated? And if you got auto update on it will reboot and try update in a loop? My lost colony & extinction is having this issue, the other maps are fine

[clear lynx]

anyone not seeing supply crates on the LC server?

[spice wyvern]

I got mine to work on my Nitrado server

[slow crane]

How i have the spawn settings up to 20 but nothing

[clear lynx]

so they spawn outside the city if i put it from 6 to 20?

[slow crane]

No im trying to figure it out its not working for me either

[swift glade]

Anyone having issues with account privileges on xbox x after the update?

[spice wyvern]

Do you have the crystal structures skin installed? Heard that causes issues. Also don’t do wild Dino wipes. I have mine on my Nitrado server set to 10, 10, 5 and I get spawns outside the city

[slow crane]

Nope

[spice wyvern]

Change the settings to 10, 10, 5 and give it a little while for them to spawn in. Don’t do a wild Dino wipe.

If it’s set to auto wipe on server restart change it to no wipe

[grim zephyr]

that work ?

[spice wyvern]

It worked for me

Whatever you do, don’t do the boss fight and ascend

[slow crane]

Not that I can right now but why?

[grim zephyr]

so activeoutposts 10 , cache 10 and cityoutposts 5 ?

[spice wyvern]

Correct

[spice wyvern]

It causes your game to crash every time you try to access inventory on anything. You can’t even transfer maps

[ornate escarp]

I didnt like the fact that it made you make an account on their servers, I want to actually host locally, nor did I want a paid one so I'm using "ARK Ascended Server Manager v1.2.3.51", no issues with it so far. Has all the features you'd expect.

[vivid gull]

I payed lifetime license for one of them payed ones

[queen crow]

It's not required to make an account on their servers.

I did. But, I didn't 'have to'.

[near hawk]

u guys pay for your server hosting programs outside of nitrado ?

[queen crow]

To host locally.

[near hawk]

why

i host localy for free, why would u pay for that

[queen crow]

Makes adding mods so much easier for me. I'm not super tech savvy like most people on here. Plus, it's only $16/year.

[ornate escarp]

I wouldnt mind paying a one time fee of like 5 bucks for a decent interface, but no way im doing subscriptions, at that point might aswell rent server.

[near hawk]

it's pasting a number

[ornate escarp]

Yea I just go on curseforge, find the mod i want and copy paste the ID

[near hawk]

adding mods is just
go to curseforge, look up mod, look up id
and add it to launch parameters

[queen crow]

It's all the rest of the command line that's a problem for me. Keeping track of the path and what not. Granted, right now it's a moot point as I can't connect to my server atm. I can see it, but I try and select it and click refresh, and I get no sessions found.

[near hawk]

EOS is down u can't search for servers without it

[queen crow]

Figures.

[prime leaf]

I am having issues trying to get admin access on a new server. I have the admin password set its correct. I even followed some instructions on white listing my ID but that didnt work either. Any suggestions? edit- I am hosting myself. not on a hosting site.

[ornate escarp]

I just check ASA Dedicated Manager again, you do require an account to use it.

[ornate escarp]

is rcon port enabled an open?

[prime leaf]

i opened all the ports. if thats what you're asking. I am winging all this lol.

[queen crow]

It only requires a subscription to use the "premium" features. Mod browser, auto updates, etc.

[prime leaf]

I have the server. the rates the mods, now working on admin stuff. Never had this happen before not being able to go into creative.

[ornate escarp]

Subscription sure but you REQUIRE an account on their website to use it

[queen crow]

It's been over a year since I had to download it, so they may have changed that. If so, my bad for giving false information.

[near hawk]

want a decent one, get ark server creation tool

it's all free

[ornate escarp]

I'm using ASAM atm works fine, also free

[queen crow]

To be fair, when I was looking for a manager, I couldn't figure out where to get that one so I went this way instead.

That's what I use for evolved.

[ornate escarp]

Do you have "RCONEnabled=true" in gameusersettings?

[celest halo]

rcon has nothing to do with being able to become admin on a server, and opening rcon to the world is not advised its unencrypted

[ornate escarp]

I remember having issues using commands from ingame without rcon enabled in ASE, maybe unrelated issue

either way you need to use enablecheats yourpassword first, but I assume you did already

[prime leaf]

eating rn. will get back with ya but thanks for any help

[swift glade]

Sorry to be a bother. And trying to setup a server about the gathering rate only gathers 2 piece even tho its set to 10 .

Which do I change in nitrado or beacon for rates ? Is it the global gather in gotta change ?

[scarlet trail]

Is there anyway to enable thralls on other maps?

[swift glade]

Why is the gathering only grabbing on 2 of everything when its set to 5
