[cloud light]

me and i cant fix it

try everthing

you have proton 8 thats the problem

[iron bronze]

I don't tho, I have been told that the egg I am useing is Proton 10-25

Or whatever they said...

[cloud light]

what egg do you have?

[celest halo]

that looks like an issue with a ASA serverapi not with ark itself

[cloud light]

it crash without api too

[celest halo]

not with that error, and it runs fine for me without an 3rd part api running

[cloud light]

It crashes for me too without API, but are you also using pterodactyl?

[celest halo]

nope, i do manual installs where i dont have to wait for someone to update an egg when things have to be changed

[cloud light]

but are you using Proton ?

[celest halo]

yes i am

[cloud light]

what proton? and are you leaving the patrols on ?

[celest halo]

10 and yes there on

[cloud light]

thanks i will try with protong-ge-10-27

[cloud light]

did you try enable the API?

[celest halo]

i dont use an api

[reef thistle]

No matter what I do, I can't get max levels to increase properly. Can someone please lend me a hand? 🙏

[cloud light]

just now it happen n64/ArkAscendedServer.exe: ../src-wine/dlls/ntdll/unix/virtual.c:1602: create_view: Assertion `!((UINT_PTR)base & page_mask)' failed.

[lavish stone]

Does anyone what setting it is for the oasisaur the revive speed, for some reason we have it on 300 days

[frail crescent]

Others experiencing larger latency on LC since last patch ?

[reef thistle]

I've seen others complain about it too.

[frail crescent]

Ok thanks....man this is frustrating lol

[clear lynx]

I am stilling having a problem where we don’t see outposts or supply drops in our server can anyone help?

[spice wyvern]

What are your settings at?

[clear lynx]

MaxActiveOutposts=16
MaxActiveResourceCaches=1
MaxActiveCityOutposts=16
MaxActiveOutpostsSP=1
MaxActiveResourceCachesSP=16
MaxActiveCityOutpostsSP=1
DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True

[onyx gale]

I need to clear deinonychus eggs/nests with a command due to a bugged nest causing a server crash.

I've tried :
cheat destroyall DroppedItemGeneric_FertilizedEgg_NoPhysicsDeinonychus_C

And many other variations (quotes, 1, 0, ect) and I'm not having any luck. If I try to pick up the eggs, the entire server crashes. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit:

If anyone comes here looking for a solution, you need to look directly at the bugged egg/dropped item and use: cheat destroymytarget. That will clear the problem child, took 2-3 tries.

[pure haven]

auto wipe on server restart you mean -ForceRespawnDinos in command line? we dont have any auto wipe scripts or anything running just force respawn when server restart and still no outposts outside of the city

[celest halo]

that command is doing an auto dino wipe on server start, and has been one of the causes to no outpost outside the city

[pure haven]

hm i will try to launch server without it

[clear lynx]

can you keep me posted if this works for you , we are also running into the same issue

[spice wyvern]

Turn that off and put your outposts to 10, 10, 5

[waxen robin]

what do i need to do to make the ab outposts on lost colony to spawn?

MaxActiveOutposts=15
MaxActiveResourceCaches=0
MaxActiveCityOutposts=15
MaxActiveOutpostsSP=15
MaxActiveResourceCachesSP=0
MaxActiveCityOutpostsSP=15

these are my ini settings and still no outpost spawns

[sharp gazelle]

scroll up the last few comments. i removed --ForceRespawnDinos and its working

[waxen robin]

ew, so how do we have them spawn with it on?

[celest halo]

fix the code and send it to WC to put in the next release

[lofty forge]

Does anyone know the codes to auto unlock these by level up? Tek binoculars, Small tek teleporter, Medium tek teleporter, Tek large celler door, Tek behemoth celler door, Tek spear, Gigadesmodus saddle, Gigadesmodus platform saddle. Please and thank you.

[keen ridge]

Does anyone know how to make outposts and drops appear in Lost Colony?

[narrow kindle]

@swift goblet I hope you are the same guy from the unraid thread 🤣

[swift goblet]

Yes that's me

[narrow kindle]

I still havent managed to get it to work but quite a few people here seems to have gotten it to work, not sure if anyone using the ich777 containers though

[swift goblet]

Ahh shoot ok. Hopefully ich gets it sorted out soon. I have all the maps running through his docker and have for a couple years

[narrow kindle]

I am in exactly the same boat, but I dont think its an ich issue, it has something to do with ark introducing something that is not catered for in the wine / proton layer ...

[celest halo]

proton 10 has the XAudio2 that ark is now using

[narrow kindle]

Are you using the ich containers ?

[celest halo]

nope, i manually install and dont use docker containers

[narrow kindle]

That makes things a bit harder for me and dsharpe 🤣

I know there is at least 1 other guy that had the same issue but he sent me a message yesterday sometime saying his servers are magiaclaly working again xD so I am happy for him BUT I am still shafted as of now

[swift goblet]

i think ich is going to have to add the new audio format to the docker. Trying to follow the guide you tagged me in but i cant find anything on pulseaudio for unraid dockers

[narrow kindle]

Yea I did what the people said about "just copy the dll" and gave the correct permissions etc and it didnt work for me, as Stolenvw said it also seems that a newer version of proton works but i am not sure how to update proton in my steamcmd

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[celest halo]

depending on how the dockerfile was setup might have to rebuild the container

[narrow kindle]

Its all from a template and there are no places to manually change the dockerfile

we are both using unraid and making use of someone else's templates

[celest halo]

yup and without being able to look at the build file there is no way to tell if it is locked to a version of proton or if it grabs the latest when it first builds the container

[swift goblet]

i cna message you the docker link if you are able to read into it, tried here and it deleted it

[swift goblet]

github.com/ich777/docker-steamcmd-server

[celest halo]

its using ghcr.io/ich777/steamcmd:asa and docker hub shows 0 info for it

[narrow kindle]

Yup

There are multiple posts on ich777's unraid thread but I am assuming the guy is on holiday for Christmas

[celest halo]

looking at some of the ones that have info they install winehq instead of proton

[swift goblet]

yes it used WINE

so i found the docker already has the xaudio2_9.dll file in the WINE64 folder. Not sure what else to try

[narrow kindle]

the honest ideal would be to figure out how to setup these things myself but I am so lazy and still trying to recover from the absolute shitshow of a year I have behind me 🤣

@celest halo would you mind sharing one of your dockerfiles with me in a DM ?

I will probs have a look tomorrow or later to see if I can make changes to ich's server to allow for a setting for wine/proton to just make everyone's lives easier

sorry wait, I am being completely stupid, you said you dont use docker so nevermind 🤣

[tardy cradle]

Lost colony
How to fix gigant queen Bee ??

[keen sinew]

Hey everyone, so this issue is still there. One of the people offering help already surrendered.
Has anyone any ideas of how i could test this to find out whats causing the issue?

Note: Incase i get more firewall related suggestion: Even turning the windows firewall off completely didnt change anything so...

[clear lynx]

Can a mod ban this dude? Legit on unofficial server setup channel

[mystic geyser]

Hello, i have a question about ASE. We didnt have problem like that on fjordur at all but it started to occur on The Island.

For some reason megatheriums are crashing the server, theres no detailed error code. It just gives 0x000000000. The crash only happens with them, other creatures are completely fine. We are running the same mods with few extras - CKF and Eco RP garden. Does someone have idea why does it crash? Aquatica version, not preaquatica one.

We have: S+, Dino storage, tranqs+, KBD, Dino medical brews, crafting potion. These mods were on fjordur aswell and it wasnt crashing. It started on this map.

[swift glade]

Can someone help me out with gathering rates on rag. Ive Made changes but only get 1 berry and rock at a time idk whats wrong this is on rag asa

[plush burrow]

what settings did you change?

[swift glade]

I thought it put to 10 but it still gathers at 1

[plush burrow]

using nitrado?

[swift glade]

Yee

[plush burrow]

have you changed your harvesting damage multiplier

[swift glade]

Think i changed that to 5 or 10

[celest halo]

HarvestAmountMultiplier increase amount per strike, and you set damage multiplier higher so it takes less strikes to brake the node

[fresh sparrow]

Guys it says i need to uninstall mods for storage but it says i have none installed how do i fix this

[swift glade]

Ok ty

[humble orbit]

Someone have a decent breeding template?
And to change player stats per level etc on Nitrado, do i have to add those lines in the config files (I don’t see them anywhere to be able to change their values and they aren’t listed anywhere under general settings)

[plush burrow]

beacon app

[swift glade]

I have changed the settings but nothing changes is this a glitch or something

[harsh forge]

Is anyone aware of settings or a mod that completely removes the ability to place structures on asa?

[quasi gull]

is it still buggy with outposts on unofficals lost colony servers? on our friendgroup server won't spawn any of em we had 1 since lc came out but for like the last 3-5 days none

[tepid berry]

I guess everyone's just given up on getting -AllowIceFox to work?

[dusty jay]

so outposts and resource caches are not spawning on lost colony. I have added the ini that they mention in the patch notes and still nothing. Any suggestions?

This is the ini i added:
LimitBunkersPerTribe=false
LimitBunkersPerTribeNum=10
AllowBunkersInPreventionZones=false
AllowRidingDinosInsideBunkers=true
AllowBunkerModulesAboveGround=true
AllowDinoAIInsideBunkers=true
AllowBunkerModulesInPreventionZones=false
MinDistanceBetweenBunkers=3000.0
EnemyAccessBunkerHPThreshold=0.25

CryoHospitalHoursToRegenHP=1.0
CryoHospitalHoursToRegenFood=24.0
CryoHospitalHoursToDrainTorpor=1.0

BloodforgeReinforceExtraDurability=0.3
BloodforgeReinforceResourceCostMultiplier=3.0
BloodforgeReinforceSpeedMultiplier=0.1
MaxActiveOutposts=10
MaxActiveResourceCaches=10
MaxActiveCityOutposts=10

[plush burrow]

what does this do?

[quasi gull]

i got the same problem we had just one outpost since launch

[dusty jay]

did you add the max outpost line?

[quasi gull]

also in it yea

but nothing is spawning even tryed uninsalling all mods

[dusty jay]

such bs they would leave the game in this state for the holidays

main feature missing

[quasi gull]

i also can't find any info if u have to do something to spawn them

like raiding the city or killing the revenaants

[fringe latch]

My friend can join our server but can play other multiplayer games but as soon as he presses join game it says he doesn’t have multiplayer privileges anyone know what’s going on

[polar ember]

Need Help: We have just rented a server from Hostinger. I can join the server but my friend cannot see the server in game or on Steam. It's displaying "Unable to connect, the app ID specified was invalid " when trying to connect using IP

[wise kindle]

Use the query port not the game port

[polar ember]

How to use that? im not familiar witht he difference between the two

[wise kindle]

How

How are you connecting then?

[polar ember]

I am able to find the Server Name in Steam Server List directly (Lower Ping so easy to find), The IP address ends with 7777 - im assuming this is game port. How do i find out query port? any idea?

[wise kindle]

7778?

[dusky badge]

hello, in our dedicated serveur, Lost Colony Map. loot cache and defense outpost dont spawn, any idea by chance pls ? Ty

[polar ember]

Tried 27015, 7777, 7778 all three at end of IP adress. Same error, did not find any server at that address

[wise kindle]

What does your host say?

[silver goblet]

There's an outpost option in the server game settings I put mine min 5 max 10 and they spawn all the time now

[celest halo]

if its an ASA server there is no query port

[wise kindle]

I think ASA is only hosted at Nitrado or Apex.
Unless this is bare bones?

[polar ember]

Host I assume you mean Server provider - Hostinger. They wont have customer support till Jan first week. I am able to add the server to Favorites by using Game port IP. I guess its my friends Steam side issue. If anyone can check and see if they are able to see this server it would be greatly appreciated. IP - 72.60.219.73:27015
Its ASE

[dusty jay]

theres only an option for max whats the min line

[wise kindle]

I would but i no longer run ase.

[wise kindle]

Are you running aquatica or pre Aquatica?
The Steam version has to match.

[polar ember]

No worries, thanks a lot for your help! I'll raise a ticket with host and try to fix it on my friends steam for the time being

[waxen robin]

-ForceRespawnDino launch command disables them basically.

[dusty jay]

that should fix it then

i have that enabled

[waxen robin]

me too. really dumb to have to remove it

but i think ill force wipe 30 seconds before restart or something, then remove that launch command...

[dusty jay]

sounds good. thank you for helping i hope this worksd

[dusty jay]

remove the -forcedinosrespawn command from your startup prompt

it will fix it. Mine is spawning now. Thank you ringmaster

[grim zephyr]

they spawn direclty after restart , or need to wait until they spawn ?

[wise kindle]

They take a bit to spawn

[tepid berry]

It's SUPPOSED to allow you to transfer Veilwyn to servers with allow dino download turned off

[shadow pendant]

How do u activate bob tall tales on a server

[celest halo]

dlc's are on servers by default, clients need to own it to use anything from them

[shadow pendant]

Thx

[grim zephyr]

hmm disabled the forcedinorespawn, but now 20min still no outposts

setted cache und outpost on 10 , and city outpost on 6 , city is spawning

[dusty jay]

[grim zephyr]

[rigid compass]

Fps*

[dusty jay]

[dusty jay]

[trim yew]

is it possible to switch Lost Colony loot caches to the loot supply drops? or is it fixed to this new defeat enemy stuff and mini boss to gain access to loot cache?

[near hawk]

U would need a mod for that

[abstract glade]

What's the configuration line to change veilwyn/armadoggo respawn timers? I have ArmadoggoDeathCooldown in my GameUserSettings, but that doesn't work. Did they change the name of the line with the addition of the veilwyn?

[near hawk]

That's only for armadoggo

[abstract glade]

So there's a new VeilwynDeathCooldown as well, then?

[near hawk]

It's
YoungIceFoxDeathCooldown

[abstract glade]

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. Of course the configuration wouldn't use the actual name of the creature, lol

[celest halo]

it uses its internal name not display to players name

[near hawk]

A ton of creatures doesn't match their BP name

[celest halo]

like most things in ark lol

[novel stump]

A lot of things in game dev in general

[pure haven]

hm so i did the dino wipe, close down server, remove force respawn line, set all outposts and caches to 15 and restarted server but they still not spawning it seems

[tidal schooner]

Hi everyone, has anyone ever had the message of the day suddenly disappear? My gus is set up correctly, yet nothing appears as soon as I log in.

[MessageOfTheDay]
Duration=300
Message=Welcome to Dino Hunters United Please visit CCs located at Obelisks for rules!! Please remove your traps!! Do not keep default human name!! Happy Arking!!

I set it to 300 to test it, thinking that the world wouldn't load in time and would therefore disappear sooner...but that's not the case.

[worn fractal]

On lost colony and Defense outposts dont seem to be spawning anyone had that problem?

[clear pendant]

disable any dinowipes and remove any mods that do dinowipes. That worked for me on my cluster and now the outpost are spawning

[worn fractal]

ill give it a shot thanks

[dusty jay]

thanks but already fixed it and wrote that below

[pure haven]

still doesnt work for me sadly, unless doing manual dinowipe before restarting server also breaks it

[arctic jackal]

I can’t find ANYYYYYYYY defence outposts on outer city. I have my own server setting set at 2

Any advice?

[void cargo]

Disable dino wipe on startup, that's the issue most likely

[unborn gorge]

Hi there, none of us on our server can be carried. The person who is being carried is fully desynced, teleporting every few seconds. Any advice?

[arctic jackal]

I’ll try this

[arctic jackal]

I’ve got it set to 6 but nothing is ever here on outer city

[void cargo]

Do you have -DestroyWildDinos in your server's launch file arguments? This basically disables outposts outside the city

OR any mod that wipes dinos

[arctic jackal]

Yeah I think I do

But only on start of server

[void cargo]

Yep, you have to disable that then

It's a bug right now

No wipes if you want outposts

[arctic jackal]

I’ll try this thank you. Honestly been trying for days without any help lol

[void cargo]

No problem, disable that and restart the server, it can take a few minutes for the outposts to start spawning in the map

[arctic jackal]

I’ll keep you posted thank you

[clear lynx]

Anyone having problems with not seeing dams ? It’s been a week and we got nothing

[celest halo]

the beavers are lazy

[ionic bane]

Hey ! i play on a lil server with some friend's and we seem to have thralls problem..?they get on tame alone and ....they do nothing once on tame , my archers literally made us fail a outpost defense because they climbed on ossidon's , is this normal? are they made to do nothing once on tame?

[arctic jackal]

It worked! Legend

[stiff tulip]

can anyone tell me how the DinoSpawnEntriesGigant_C spawn works? Like how often does it proc and what's the % chance a giga or carcha will spawn when it procs? I need to fine tune the server a bit.

[gloomy yew]

patch for outposts is up

[red lynx]

Am I the only one who can't find certain tools and also that the gigas/carchas despawn?

[stiff tulip]

I haven't seen the giga/carch despawn, but I did kill them all and they haven't come back. not sure about the tool thing.

[toxic palm]

okay please help me anyone, im having trouble opening obelisk inventorys, in general, i cant the inventory even tho i turned off specific stuff

Some help would be appreciated ;-;
I’ve been trying to add the Veilwyn, Solwin, Desmodus and Aureliax to my Extinction map on my multiplayer server. The codes I have entered in my [Game.ini] folder don’t seem to be working. Any tips?

That’s not meant to spam, I just want to make sure I’m getting the whole thing correct ^^;

[red juniper]

you are missing the quotes. should be Message="your message here"

[pale sinew]

is there anyway to make my lost ark server not eat its own ram to death before it crashes

[crude yacht]

In today’s patch notes, it states:

Increased number of active outposts.
However, I am wondering whether this simply means that the following settings were changed, or if this is an internal change that does not require any configuration adjustments.

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

Since I want to keep my server configuration as close as possible to the official servers, if the default values have been changed, it would be necessary to update the configuration file accordingly.

[tough dawn]

Does anyone host servers in docker containers on Linux? I started getting error code 3 with server crashes today out of nowhere. I've verified that it's not a storage issue, and I've tried a number of other fixes including removing mods. Also, I started noticed a string of messages about game analytics failures, so I used the (apparently) new command line argument -NoGameAnalytics. But now I still get an Exit Code 3 crash with no logs.

For reference, I'm using the docker image and procedure from mschnitzer/ark-survival-ascended-linux-container-image on Github. Any advice or just other Linux users to share that they're experiencing this as well would be helpful.

[tidal schooner]

I tried.. but it doesn't appear

[fierce timber]

Since the most recent patch Outposts are no longer spawning in at all. Flying around the entire map and none of the areas that used to have them have anything at all now.

[fierce timber]

Also prior to outposts ceasing to spawn, putting down/placing any base defense/utility structure broke the survivor and you couldn't access any creature or inventory, even after dying. Only a relog fixed it.

[uncut pumice]

Do we know any of the spawn entries for lost colony yet? I want to add the big misquitos to lost colony

[polar ember]

BTW My friend is able to see the server and join. He updated the server from Host's website and somehow it worked. Thanks a lot for all your help. Really apreciate it!!! 😄

[fierce timber]

Likely won't know until whenever devkit updates, and who knows when that will be. Likely not until after the new year at best.

quick look through the manifest file

[uncut pumice]

Thank you! I can probs work with this

hopefully not drop a rhylo in the easy zones lol

[celest halo]

why now WC put spinos in there

[uncut pumice]

I like big mosquito

[celest halo]

WC put a few things in the easy zone that should not of been there till the 77.46 update when they moved them 🤣

[uncut pumice]

Yea LC was probs the WORST start we have ever had

super hard

[wise kindle]

Let me introduce you to the Bog easy zone in Gen 1 lol

Which mod maps are free and really good in ARK: Ascended? And @ me

[low dew]

[fleet ermine]

Anyone figured how to get the veilwyn transfers working?

[wide forge]

Does anyone know why the outpost settings are getting ignored on unofficial servers? I set them to 0 and after every restart the outposts and caches are back

[kindred ledge]

Does anyone know how to fix the lag that occurs on unofficial when starting the defense missions

[grim zephyr]

good way to kill neophrite on a ressource cache ?

[clear pendant]

tek sword or tek spear

[clear pendant]

its most likely reverting back to default settings when you put it to zero

[grim zephyr]

dont got tek yet or killed bosses on lost colony

[clear pendant]

ah yeah, then maybe a good sword or polearm will be best then

they are tough against dinos but not melee

[grim zephyr]

ok i will try

[wide forge]

Thats annoying, ngl. I hope there will be a fix for that soon

[clear pendant]

most likely not until after the new year when they come back from break

[stiff tulip]

does anyone know if there's a way to force a spawner container to do it's thing? I really don't want to cheat fly my way around the map spawning in giga/carch since the spawner has stopped working.

Anyone know how to make outposts spawn outside the city? Are server only gets them inside the city on LC

[urban jackal]

I found some settings for servers but not sure if we should change these

[ServerSettings] in GameUsersettings

MaxActiveOutposts=6

MaxActiveResourceCaches=6

MaxActiveCityOutposts=6

[zinc latch]

The only way to make Defense Outposts and Resource Crates to spawn is to DISABLE the function: Wipe all wild creatures, this is exactly what it's called on Nitrado servers. Switch it to Disabled. If your server does a wild dino wipe ALL defense outposts and resource caches WILL NOT SPAWN.

Restart the server after making the change. After about 5-10 minutes the server will start to populate the defense posts and the resource caches. Make sure to use the INI settings Wildcard provided that everyone keeps reposting in this channel. I did 6 City, 15 Active, and 12 Resource caches. They all spawn on my nitrado server

Wildcard NEGLETED to mention you have to disable wild dino wipes or they won't spawn for whatever reason. They will need to patch this of course.

[celest halo]

WC dont say much when it comes to unofficials im shocked they even told us the outpost ini settings

[rigid maple]

Anyone have any crashing issues since 3 updates ago on val

[mossy hinge]

Is there an ini setting that actually works for veilwyn cooldown? Youngicefox isnt it.

[stuck prairie]

Anyone know why i can play every map when it comes to official, but only the island on unofficial?

[rigid maple]

Which xbox do you have?

[opaque tulip]

I just wanted to log in to my server, but I can only get to the character editor. My character is in the base, as confirmed by another player. Killing him doesn't help either. I can't download him either. Is there a new bug? Everything was working fine yesterday.

[oblique pewter]

Do we need to add -allowicefox to all servers or just LC for the allowing transfers into LC?

[opaque tulip]

how can i get it back?

[tulip sigil]

Does anybody know when is the unofficial server for mobile coming out?

[clear lynx]

with the patch , can we use dinowipe on server setting again ?

[verbal cove]

My players says they can't use npc from lost colony on my other maps is it normal?
Someone got solution for that?

[uncut pumice]

Damn, just tried a couple of these; dont think they work 🙁

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntries_Water_River_LC_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="MosquitoRiver",EntryWeight=1.0,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Rhynio_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Rhynio_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.02)))

Maybe im doing something wrong? I put these in both Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini just in case

[celest halo]

yeah thats one of the downside of getting names from the manifest file, have nothing to see what ones are actually used WC has a bad habit of including uasset's that aren't used

[uncut pumice]

Dammit

[celest halo]

could try the B+ Spawn Editor mod

[flint oasis]

Okay 2 things here 1 is the new years event gonna happen? and 2 the npcs when mounted do not fight is this a know issue being resolved or will it be typical WC fashion and never fix it ? thanks lol

Okay I wont say "never" but yall get me lol

[celest halo]

most of WC is on holiday so they not working/fixing much right now

[uncut pumice]

Funny enough; I found this out seperate from your post

I think it works lol

[celest halo]

yeah i seen you over there 🤣

[flint oasis]

Also yall having the issue where your dinos distance keeps changing back to medium? lol

[celest halo]

i havent changed that so dont know

[ornate escarp]

So outposts initially spawned, but dont seem to be respawning after they've been cleared/failed, is there any fix for it?

have increased limit in ini already

[clear lynx]

there was a patch today, but i dont if they spawn with or without dino wipe on

[limber light]

I have 2 lost colony servers. One has gargoyles in the city. The other does not. Any ideas?

[ornate escarp]

Yea the patch didnt seem to change anything, have a wipe every 24h but I would expect to see it spawn during that time at least, the other ones I havent done are still there after all

[celest halo]

if you do one, it be awhile before it respawns in that location again, there is a bunch of spots over the full map they can spawn at

[ornate escarp]

more than 24h?

or do they ignore the limit set by the ini maybe

[celest halo]

i have gone 3 days before seeing one show in same spot again

[ornate escarp]

Fair enough, maybe just have to wait longer then, and I assume theres no config to change respawn timer on those?

[celest halo]

if you dont do any limit could be out on the map so its not going to spawn one in location you did before

[ornate escarp]

I have them all set to 20, so should be fine, unless theres more than 20 different ones I suppose

[celest halo]

i have found atlest 15 dif spots so far outside the city

and i dont have the full map uncovered

[tepid berry]

It's broke and they don't seem intent on fixing it for us unofficial servers.

[hardy pelican]

anyone else having the problem of not being able to download survivors into LC but you can transfer them out

the characters just get deleted

[grim zephyr]

cant tame a aureliax 150 , with +72lvl ? only can max the tame lvl out ?

[proven thistle]

ok so i want to rent a server does anyone have a how to for dummies. i tried to run one from a pc before but got lost. must be crossplay between pc / ps5

[iron bronze]

I would suggest GSH over Nitrado any day ^^

[queen flare]

we have all this done... and the WC ini Settings... still no Outpost spawns on Lost Colony

[civic ridge]

anyone know why beaver dams aren't spawning for me?

[low dew]

@polar echo weird self hosting is allowed companys offer you space to run your game then your on your own

yeah i wouldent touch nitrado with a 1000 foot pole

so i host my own

[low rivet]

been having an issue where I get the 'could not retrieve address' message when I try to join non dedicated servers, playing on pc but with the Xbox game pass. any idea if it's an issue with permissions, if there is an outage? thanks!

[clear lynx]

Morning all , its been a week and we still have not found any beaver dams or loot supply creates in caves (outposts have been fixed) , would anyone know the reasoning behind this? is there a server setting that prevents that ? Thanks in advance

[celest halo]

theres supply creates in caves, beaver dams i have not found any just keep finding a bunch of lazy beavers that dont make dams 😂

[clear lynx]

well i been in caves and followed the static locations of the creates and found nothing , but that was 30 mins after a server reset

[serene ridge]

The beavers are forming a union going on strike after years of having their homes raided

[clear pendant]

If you are running any mods that do a Dino wipe then those have to be removed as well

[pure haven]

is there any way to prevent people transferring their characters pregnant with reapers to lost colony from other maps? does this happens on official too? thats kinda ruins the map

[serene ridge]

Active Outpost MAcimum, Active Resource Maximum and Active City Outpost Maximum are (for some reason) set to 0 by default. Change this number in settings, the higher they are the more will spawn. I usually see them set somewhere around 6-10

[clear pendant]

I know, mine are all working on my server

[trim wraith]

we had them on our server, since the latest update they no longer spawn

[weary verge]

Someone know the custom item path of the new Arctic Armor, trying to add it to the Resonant shop mod?

[livid ibex]

Have someone that cant find our server. We host through nitrado with cross-platform on. we are all pc and they are xbox any reason they cant see it?

[harsh forge]

Make sure they are not using the map filter.

Seems to be busted for most people

[pale hollow]

Has anyone figured out the Defeatboss code for lost colony?

[harsh forge]

Also make sure that they are searching in Unofficial and that Show Player Servers is checked on the bottom right. If the server has a password, Show Password Protected Servers needs to be checked as well.

[livid ibex]

Did all these not working 😭

[harsh forge]

Are there any non-crossplay mods running?

[livid ibex]

They all say they are

[harsh forge]

I'm not sure then. As long as the server hasn't disabled crossplay it should just work out of the box.

[brisk schooner]

See if they can take a screenshot or picture of their search. A lot of times they miss something that you can see is wrong with their search filters.

[plain hinge]

Is anyone having issues hosting a local server? I tried downloading the server hosting software with steamCMD, making a .bat file to run it, and the server loads up normally. When I attempt to connect ingame, I get invalid password despite the server not having a password (also tried with password and correct command to connect). The server does seem to be successfully opening UDP port 7777 too.
I know the new map is buggy so I'm trying to start a server on TheIsland alone just to confirm that it isnt the map.

[vale sun]

i cant find any unofficial PVP server with mods

[drowsy current]

is there a way I can use the cluster feature when I use playit.gg to portforward? I can't do it because of CGNat, my other server isn't showing up on the cluster list when I go to a terminal in Extinction

[inland bear]

Quick question. Is it worth just running a non dedicated server through the game vs renting one? I know the whole tether thing and such but is there any other down sides to it other than that?

[near hawk]

it's best to host a dedicated one yourself

[inland bear]

Ok thank you !

[bleak ivy]

there are quite a few singleplayer bugs that make hosting a dedicated way better. (non-dedi is just singleplayer with other people)

[proud nexus]

what do i do if i apply my resolution too far in that i cant zoom it out cause i cant see the apply button nm

[neon musk]

Does anyone know of any mods for the Aureliax Gifting yet? or if there is any Config I can change?

[errant vapor]

I just started today so I’m lost

[midnight dome]

Help, the Lost Colony map won't load on my local host, but it does on other maps.

[radiant fox]

If I buy a server can I do ascensions with my buddie on it? we're getting tired of the leash and wanted to know if we'd need multiple servers or if we could just change the map

[thick bramble]

Have 2 my m8 has 1 has he has to wipe all we've done to change map

[radiant fox]

im cool with that, I just want the ascended character and to switch maps like syntac used to do

[radiant fox]

I dont want to transfer everything because then the maps get boring I just want to unlock tek on 1 character before playing lost colony

[thick bramble]

Yeah just get 2 so the map your done with to transfer wipe so you can change it

[radiant fox]

could we not just upload our toons and change the map after turning the server off?

[wise kindle]

Yes

[limber light]

I have 2 lost colony servers. One has gargoyles in the city. The other does not. Any ideas?

[rancid pagoda]

Anyone else's unofficial server take a crap with the latest WC update?

[devout summit]

Do either of yours have resource caches or defense outposts spawning? Ours isnt and we're not sure what else to try

[limber light]

Both do. Make sure dino wipes is set to disabled & all outpost spots are blank in settings.

[devout summit]

Thanks, for settings do you mean the parameters in the gameusersettings file? Do you know specifically which should be blank?

[limber light]

Do you use Nitrado?

[devout summit]

Nope, but nitrados interface should correlate to the file anyway. You just set those to blank? Im guessing maxoutpost or something

Do you have mods? Wasnt sure if mods were crapping ours out.

[noble harness]

ok maybe this is the spot to ask has anyone here fixed teh defence missions spawning and if so what was changed to fix

[limber light]

Game.ini

MaxActiveOutposts=
MaxActiveResourceCaches=
MaxActiveCityOutposts=

[noble harness]

ok how high do they need ot be?

[devout summit]

Not sure yet, haha but we do have folks here with working server spawns. Gonna try what NicoleS says, setting those params to blank

[noble harness]

OH blank them

[limber light]

Ours are blank

[devout summit]

Thanks will try that, we were leavin it default (which had value of 6)

[limber light]

I can get that to work...but canny figure out why one doesn't have gargoyles. LOL

[devout summit]

Haha yeah thats weird. Any mods installed on yours? Wonder if theyre affecting them

[limber light]

Yeah, but its the same mods. LOL

I've gone through the game.ini and gameusersettings but canny figure it out.

[noble harness]

we get gargoyles but no defence or caches lol

[devout summit]

By gargoyles youre talking about the statues in city that come alive?

Only thing incan think of is do a manual dino wipe in case for some reason the spawns got screwed up/were invisible

Or meshed

[limber light]

Yeah. Did that. 🙁

[devout summit]

🙁 dang

[jade oracle]

I see these in my gus. They meant to be in game.ini?

[noble harness]

the in gameusersettings

[radiant fox]

on Nitrado, if i want to add per level stat multiplier, would i put it below baby imprint amount multiplier and above [shooterGameMode_TEMPOverrides]?

[limber light]

Sorry! No...was looking at both for my gargoyle issue and said wrong one.

[devout summit]

Nah thats correct

Ok, sooo unfortunately blanking them didn't fix it for us. 🙁 will keep trying other stuff

[jade oracle]

Interesting. Mine looks like that and not getting any defense missions spawning.

[devout summit]

Thank you tho!

[limber light]

Do you have auto dino wipes?

[noble harness]

well you got to wait it seems a bit after by the looks of how tehy spawn

soo its both the wipes and the ini?

[devout summit]

Nope, we disabled dino wipes. But we always see a few city outposts so yeah weird.

[jade oracle]

Only manual wipes as needed

[limber light]

You want auto wipes disabled & the ini cleared.

[noble harness]

yep seems both and after that i assume reboot the server?

since that resets all the stuff or will they still appear also im not the owner soo jsut trying to help them

[limber light]

Yeah - I always make changes with it offline. Then boot up with the changes.

When I accidentally broke it, the guys were able to see the outposts within 15 minutes of me fixing that. But I did give them coords to like 10 locations to check.

[devout summit]

Holy shit wait! I spoke too soon. It worked!!! @limber light

We blanked the params, reboot server and ran a manual dino wipe

[noble harness]

yeah i have a youtube i am lookign at them

[devout summit]

Now i found our very first resource cache

[limber light]

Nice!

[devout summit]

We have the cs mod installed and used the omni tools loot scanner to verify

Now that we know it worked we're gonna disable loot scanner. Ty!!

[limber light]

You aren't having any trouble with the CS mod?

[devout summit]

Nope

Were you?

[limber light]

Oh cool - I'd seen it in the list of issues in the Nitrado discord.

We don't use it.

[noble harness]

wel we do dang whats it do prevent stuff or what part is the issue?

oh i read that worng its working anyway

[devout summit]

It doesnt affect those

Nitrado kept saying it does but i checked with the mod author and he already checked

[noble harness]

soo loot scanners show you what things on the map just the caches or

[limber light]

Does it happen to show gargoyles? LOL

[noble harness]

or outposts?

[devout summit]

Loot scanner on the cs mod omni tool will show all outposts and caches as the 10,000 health loot

[noble harness]

OMG

[devout summit]

It does have a dino finder option i can check

[limber light]

We have an admin tool, but I don't see anything that indicates gargoyle...but dunno if they have a special name or just aren't in there.

[noble harness]

do the statues appear?

if they do you hit them sometimes gargoyle somtimes statue

[devout summit]

Im not seeing gargoyle but maybe theyre called Lost xxxxx dinos

[limber light]

The platform things they are on show up, but no statues/gargoyles.

[noble harness]

ive had the basilisk in there become alive and yes

[limber light]

It's just all blank - on the one server.

[devout summit]

Weird

[noble harness]

there lost its liek an effect saygin untameable

but yeah go hti statues

ours wakes up someitmes

[paper coral]

Anyone having issues with getting their dedicated server to update version numbers? Mine seems stuck on 77.34 when it shows the dedicate server booting but when i run steam command update it downloads and validates successfully. and shows success. However when the server is booted that number doesnt update at all. SO it doesn't match the official server versions. I host them locally and I can still connect to them fine at the moment, but im owrried that will change the longer it gets out of sync.

[celest halo]

if using -force install dir make sure its going to right location

[paper coral]

I have been I run "force_install_dir G:\asmdata\Servers\server2 +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate" and it does the whole download and verify and says success but it doesnt acutally seem to be updating the version number properly.

[celest halo]

delete the G:\asmdata\Servers\server2\steamapps\appmanifest_2430930.acf file and run update script again

[dense vault]

im able to launch and start server but only i am able to join through the local host and can't seem to make the public ip an option to join even with port forwarding being done anyone know how to go through this and check its correct?

Anyone know how to complete another player's current skill tree milestone that isn't progressing? I can only find command to complete my player's one. Does this mean I have to give them the enablecheats <password> password rlly?

And even then, the CompleteCurrentMilestone 4 to target the fourth column (lost colony tab first column) doesn't work.

[manic token]

anyone else having issues after update? I either get "ERROR! Failed to install app '2430930' (Missing configuration)" with no update or "Update state (0x0) unknown, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)" after updating. The server does start to come up and is reporting version 77.51 but seems to crash when loading mods

I just disabled the mods, and still seems to crash at the same place

same thing happens if i remove my server directory and let it download everything again. First start gives the first error, then it downloads everything but gives the second error. Then it just crashes and loops, tries to do an update and gives secoind error

[low dew]

@manic token whos your host

[manic token]

self hosted

[low dew]

server manager ? or just cmd

[manic token]

just steamcmd in docker

[low dew]

using linux i assume

[manic token]

yeah

[low dew]

part of the issue could be bad cmd bat file

but i use a server manager cuz i never had luck with cmd files im to dum for that

this a mod ? 2430930

[manic token]

just was running fine this morning, just brought it all down to do the update. i'm sure i've had the missing configuration error before and just seemed to fix itself

that's the steam id for asa dedicated server

[low dew]

maybe send me the crash log and the shootergames log and i can pick it apart and see if a second pair of eyes sees somthing maybe you missed

[weary verge]

anyone knows how to set up a automated periodic message in ark, that appears in chat for info and other things?

[arctic mica]

Should use a server manager for automation, be easier to manage, otherwise incorporate server messages with your bat files and look at scheduled tasks

[trim wraith]

ok so I've seen a few messages regarding these pesky outposts. i still cant get them to spawn on our nitrado server, i have put the codes in the game ini empty, turned off loot crates, done dino wipes in game and still nothing is spawning. anyone have anything else i can check its halting gameplay

[celest halo]

if you set the server to do a dino wipe on start, it will make them not spawn

[trim wraith]

no that is always disabled

[manic token]

not sure what changed, but updating proton version seemed to solve my issue

[celest halo]

you must of been a few updates behind

[lethal stirrup]

Is there a setting im missing on my dedicated server that stops / allows the lost colony reward skins from milestones. Im 2 servers in and when I earn said skins from every 3 milestones I just dont see them in the lost colony folder. If i transfer said character to single player though, they are there.

[wary coral]

anyone figure out why thralls wont attack when riding dinos

or is it just broken

[limber light]

In the game ini or the user one?

[trim wraith]

there is a setting in each, i didnt put it in the user settings but it appeared on its own. thereis a copy in game ini and gameusersettings ini

[limber light]

Remove the one from the game.ini. Leave in the GUS.

MaxActiveOutposts=
MaxActiveResourceCaches=
MaxActiveCityOutposts=

[trim wraith]

still not working 🙁

[wise kindle]

Takes time for them to spawn in, an hour or more for many.

[trim wraith]

ok many thanks, will keep checking.

[vast arrow]

I have no idea why outposts and chests are not spawning anywhere on my server

Anyone figured out a fix?

[wise kindle]

Are the ini settings for this set?

[vast arrow]

I think yes

[wise kindle]

GUS.

MaxActiveOutposts=
MaxActiveResourceCaches=

These?

[vast arrow]

I read on Reddit the force Dino wipe has to do something with it?

[vast arrow]

Checking

[wise kindle]

Settings of 10-20 seem to generate enough to where ppl can find them.

and yes, wild dino wipes seem to remove them oddly enough.

[stuck leaf]

i've come back to ark after a few months and after i update my servers and try boot them, the log seems to spit out a bunch of things then boot loop, how do i fix this?

[noble ledge]

Hey friends Ive been conflicting things. For these settings....

also have a question why cant have dinowipe on Lost Colony....

[noble ledge]

oh so its just cuz this but they respawn in right????

[wise kindle]

After a server reset from what I have seen.

[noble ledge]

So if you do a dinowipe.... you have to retart the server AFTER that???....

Sorry just clarifying cuz WildCard did a great job prepping as per usual LMAO

[pseudo glade]

The startup dinowipe setting is the problem not wiping dinos

[noble ledge]

I use gameserver app. I does a dinowipe every day at X time for all my servers.

I dont use the dinowipe on Nitrado... does that matter....?

[pseudo glade]

In your start up commands you need to remove -forcedinowipe

That's all

[slow crane]

Disabling the dino wipe for my nitrado server fixed the outpost spawn issue👍

[violet latch]

hey, I noticed last night that there were no baryonyx spawning on my Lost Colony server. I did a dino wipe before logging off last night and there is still no bary's... I did another wipe a few hours ago and still nothing... I have my server do its back up and restart every night. is there anything else I can try?

[noble ledge]

Sweet thank you!

Now what numbers for those settings work?

[noble ledge]

These I mean.

[slow crane]

Any you want just disable auto dino wipe

[wise kindle]

If your playerbase is blind, 20. If they are vigilant, 10 maybe.

The issue seems to be the ability to look for the outposts and the skillbase of the players.

[noble ledge]

so is default blank okay???/

oh okay so we do want numbers...

[slow crane]

Default nothing spawns set a number

[noble ledge]

same on all?

[slow crane]

Don't matter

[noble ledge]

okay ty!!! 😄

how are people fixing server crashes related to the xaudio2_9.dll , i tried copying the file into the win64 folder but it doesn't fix it

leave it named xaudio2_9redist.dll and put it in shootergame

[stuck leaf]

just shootergame? i read it had to go into ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64

no idea what it changes got any idea?

[noble harness]

seems minor since client 77.54 can still join 77.51 lol

but still

[livid vortex]

@stuck leaf Ahh thanks!! that fixed my issue!

[stuck leaf]

you just put xaudio2_9redist.dll into ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64?

[livid vortex]

i used the one from that nuget package and dropped it ion win64 and also over the one in ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/RedpointEOS/x64

just rename the nuget to .zip and open it

[noble harness]

soo what i see in steam db was liek 50 bytes or so change in files?

navigate to the bin x64 folder

its like 969144 bytes

New Server Owner here

Has anyone found a way to have there server PvP (to kill baby dinos) but still ensure no griefing or unintentional PvP happens from new people joining?

[hidden vault]

Any way to set the Helicoprion to be able to convert tek into BPs?

[ornate oxide]

We’re having the same issue, mine and some other clusters, it’s not a mod as it’s happening without them

Look at the box and use
Cheat destroymytarget

[ornate oxide]

You can still kill baby dinosaurs on PvE

[stone bramble]

Without having to claim and then unclaim them? (No breath attacks either from basi or wyverns)?

[ornate oxide]

Oh no, you need to claim them to be able to kill them on PvE, but there’s maybe a mod that has some kind of protection bubble to use for new people or ORP is an option too but that goes for all the server

[stone bramble]

Someone recommended Dino depot mod. I’ll see how that goes for PvE says I’ll still get the experience as well so fingers crossed

Thanks for replying

[low dew]

Huh I kill baby dinos on pve all the time :/

Unclaimed

[swift python]

Ever figure this out?

[scarlet trail]

No

[low dew]

no there is no way and if you use the human npc mod on lost colony it will crash the server

you can aparently cryopod them and bring them to other maps

[hidden vault]

You can but it gives a message saying thralls not allowed or whatnot when you try to release them

I still havent found anything functional with the Heli bp config

[low dew]

ahh

i might have a solution

add the lost colony mod id as a passive mod to the other maps

-passivemods=962137

i donno if thats the correct id for lost colony

[humble orbit]

Is there a way to stack prime meats/mutton, raw & cooked through the ini?

[tepid berry]

@humble orbit Beacon is a really good application for finding the right way to do that, but yes.

[narrow kindle]

Yea on the unraid thread there is a thing for fixing it, you just have to download a dll and put it in your appdata in a folder

@celest halo hey dude, do you use steam cli on your setup ? if I remember correctly you use steam and a live install of ark (I am assuming you have a server running linux somewhere)

[celest halo]

steamcmd is all i use for installing servers

[narrow kindle]

Do you have some resources you could DM me on how you got steamcmd to work with unraid etc

I might want to look at an alternative to how most of us unraid users use it now since ich said he isnt going to maintain the ark containers anymore

[celest halo]

i dont use unraid, all my vms are ubuntu

[narrow kindle]

thats fine

I need to figure out steamcmd before I can get it to run in a container

[celest halo]

install steamcmd

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse; sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update
sudo apt install steamcmd

install asa server make .sh file with in it so can run again to do update

#!/bin/bash

steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/asa-server +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 +quit

[narrow kindle]

Does that automatically force use proton ?

[celest halo]

proton needs to be installed separately

[narrow kindle]

MMMMMMM

Ill do some research then

[celest halo]

most use GE-Proton from github

i get proton right from steam, its little more of a pain though becuase you can use "anonymous" login to download it from steam

[narrow kindle]

Well my aim is to make my own containers so it would be prefered if I can use steamcmd to setup everything I need

[celest halo]

proton 10 from steam

steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/proton +login <steam username> <steam password> +app_update 2805730 +quit

[narrow kindle]

Thanks, Ill give it a go

🤣

fricken bots

[celest halo]

start script

#! /bin/bash

export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=/home/someuser/.local/share/Steam
export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/someuser/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2430930

/home/someuser/proton/proton run /home/someuser/arkasa/ShooterGame/Binaries/win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe Ragnarok_WP?SessionName=....

you also need to make the folders for the STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH or it will crash for not finding them

[narrow kindle]

🙏 i think it would be simple enough to get this into a container and then to just replace the ich one

I also want to point out to anyone reading this in the future to not hold out for me 🤣 I honestly dont really want to be a maintainer and deal with other peoples issues :p

[celest halo]

feels, why my server control bot is private 🤣

[narrow kindle]

My stuff is also all private

I literally just host a few game servers for me and close friends and there at most was like 5 of us playing

My reason for unraid is I have a bunch of other homebrew stuff as well so its hyper convenient

[celest halo]

same, right now im only one playing on my cluster lmao

i have 2 servers one running esxi and one running proxmox, they both have home lab/automation and game server vms on them

[tepid cairn]

Have they snuck in a new but subtle mem leak issue again?

[woeful prawn]

yo

why is my ase server list so dry when there are servers with high pop and they just dont show

[scarlet trail]

Well if it is it’s the same problem class disallowed is what it says

[solar drift]

hello not sure if im aloud to post this here, if not plase let me know and i will remove, i was wondering what server host people are with thank you

[low dew]

im with qonzer

[solar drift]

and how do you find it with qonzer? do you rent ASE or ASA?

[low dew]

asa

i jsut rent a box and self host essentially

you can rent vps

[stuck leaf]

That doesn't seem to work for me unfortunately

[hardy pelican]

anyone else having the problem of not being able to download survivors into LC but you can transfer them out
the characters just get deleted

[kindred ledge]

Where do I put the fixthrallstats thing they mentioned at in nitrado?

[near hawk]

In the launch parameters

But from what I hear u guys apparently can't edit that freely

[steady scarab]

I solved this issue, you have to go steam>right-click ARK in your Steam Library, select Manage > Uninstall, and confirm

[kindred ledge]

Noted and that sucks hope it lets us soon bc would love to see my thrall a little tougher bc rn they kinda week ignoring the t waffle and his troll response

[kindred ledge]

Also love how they presume that the PlayStation symbol was a steam symbol

[modest linden]

The latest patch ini for Thrall fix, goes in gus ?

[near hawk]

goes in server launch parameters

[spice axle]

Hey can anyone help me? My Lost Colony server will not show up in the server list no matter what I do. I’ve tried everything I know I can myself and none of it has worked. It’s been a week now.

My other two servers Valgeruo and Extinction are fine. I have no idea why Lost Colony just is refusing to work.

[near hawk]

what are u running it off?

[spice axle]

Nitrado unfortunately

[modest linden]

where do I find those on a Nitrado server manager interface please

[near hawk]

take it to nitrado customer support or to their discord

[spice axle]

Customer support isn’t working

Which of course it is

[near hawk]

apperently u guys can't freely edit that, so wait till they add it to their ui

[modest linden]

Ah man I’ve just taken the server down 🤦🏻‍♀️

[brisk schooner]

Did you double check that it's set up for crossplay in Nitrado? Just in case.
Another thing that I notice is sometimes I have to search with "show player servers" checkmarked, and sometimes I have to remove the checkmark

[brisk schooner]

If you want you can tell me the name of the server and I can search to see if I find it? Im stuck waiting on some installations but can look soon.

[spice axle]

It’s always had crossplay on Idk why it suddenly wouldn’t

[spice axle]

Survivors Journey

[brisk schooner]

Yeah it's set up default that way when you first build the server, so should still be set up. Just a random thing to check

[spice axle]

Yeah crossplay is still on

[brisk schooner]

OK I will search for it. Aha! Do you mean for it to be PvP?

[spice axle]

No

PvE

[brisk schooner]

It says Survivors Journey Cluster Lost Colony 2xHar/3xTame and says it's pvp

[spice axle]

Why tf is it on pvp

I never set it to that

[brisk schooner]

When yhou start a new server by default I think they are pvp and you have to tell it in Nitrado to be PvE

[spice axle]

Wild

[brisk schooner]

Now you know the fix 🙂

[spice axle]

Thanks man this has been driving me insane

[brisk schooner]

I know. So many details to check and run through, it's easy to miss

[tribal sedge]

Anyone know why custom cosmetics won’t show up on my server? All the players reporting the same thing that it shows they are applied but anything that is not from wildcard themselves won’t show up.

[devout rampart]

Hi guys, i've noticed from a youtube video thet desmodus are the only flyers admitted in LC caves, but my players can enter with any flyeers. I have not setup the allowcaveflyer value (so must be false). Anyone is experiencing this issue?

[devout rampart]

do you have official custom cosmetic command applied?

[tribal sedge]

I am not really sure. Do you happen to know what the command is?

What size is your xaudio dll?

-rwxr-xr-x 1 steam steam 969144 Dec 30 15:15 xaudio2_9redist.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 steam steam 847440 Dec 27 19:26 xaudio2_9redist.dll.bak

the working one is 969144 bytes

[stuck leaf]

the one in my servers /win64/redpointeos/x64 is 847440 bytes and the one i downloaded from the support thread is 969144 but it didn't fix it for me

did you just replace the file in "/ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\RedpointEOS\x64"
add one to "/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64" like the guide then start your container?

also are you keeping the file name "xaudio2_9redist.dll" like the unraid thread suggests or changing it to "xaudio2_9.dll" like the original github suggests

[whole zinc]

Club ark hasnt been able to start on my cluster for months? I made a whole new profile and downloaded up to date servers. my firewall is already correctly set and so are the rcons. it gives me a ticking loop and crashes during boot and restarts the boot up process again. is there a new mod ID I need to use for it?

[scarlet trail]

Does anyone know how to have club ark sync with the difficulty level so it can give up to 300

[dusky snow]

I have seen people say you can cut off gachas being sad automaticly in caves on unoffical servers but cant find the line for it anywhere can anyone help

found it

[narrow kindle]

The comment that mentions the solution was made by hiddentalnt ...

it says

1. Download the new dll
2. Extract it
3. copy the file "xaudio2_9redist.dll" into ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64

He also specifically mentions to not rename the file

That is also exactly what myself and a few other people did and it worked for us

[stuck leaf]

And that’s exactly what I’ve done on all 10 of my servers and it’s fixed non of them, still crashing with an xaudio issue in logs

[iron bronze]

I'm guessing we only need to have -FixThrallStats in start up once and then remove it after the the server restarts with it, right??

[ornate escarp]

Any solution to Milestones not properly granting cosmetics at 3/6/9 etc

[leaden junco]

how to override the maximum level? i've tried to modified the gameusersetting.ini with OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10, but turns out it just doesnt want to be saved. Im running non dedicated server anyone got an idea for this? also im running Primal Fear

[brisk schooner]

Do you mean wild dino level?
I would double check that you don't also have MaxDifficulty=True because that will override the Difficulty setting and set it to the max level of 5 instead of 10

[leaden junco]

it seems like my problem is i can't saved the edited file tho

[verbal cove]

Hi every alpha dino don't drop anything on my lost colony serv, someone got same issue?

[marsh elm]

Anyone found a code that works to spawn plant species r seeds ?

Did you try the gfi command from ase gen2? it's on dododex if you look up the item

[marsh elm]

Ye saying can’t spawn in this map

[burnt folio]

Rogue

[brisk schooner]

How are you editing the file? With a notepad or a program of some sort? How is your server hosted, on a home machine, a rented dedicated machine, or Nitrado?

[leaden junco]

Non Dedicated server and with notepad

[brisk schooner]

OK so it might be the file location. INI files are repeated throughout the game file trees based on default, local, dedicated server, etc. That's the only thing I'm thinking would prevent the changes from saving, unless you have the game installed on default C Drive for a Windows Operating system which would block some programs from making file changes due to security.

[hidden vault]

was this aimed at my question?

[near hawk]

goes under [ARK_Additions] in GameUserSettings
HeliCanConvertBP / Boolean Default True / determines if player can use the blueprint conversion system at all
HeliCanConvertQuality / Integer Default 5, min 1, max 5 / stops Heli from being able to convert above a certain tier of item
HeliCanConvertTek / Boolean Default False / determines if Tek gear is able to be converted by Heli
HeliCanConvertCrafted / Boolean Default False/ determines if crafted equipment is able to be converted by Heli
►Apparently may not work ►
HeliCanRefundResources / Boolean Default True / determines if Heli will give a small amount of crafting resources back when breaking down an item
HeliBPMaxCraftAmount / Integer Default 0, min 0, max 100 / Determines how many crafts the converted blueprint will have. Default is based on converted item
HeliBlacklistedItems / Int, Float, or String / Uses an array for items the player may or may not want to have as convertible. Default is Lasso and M.O.M.I.
HeliSetSuccessRateCap / Float Default -0.100001, min -1.0, max 0.0 (0.0=100%, -1.0=0%) / Determines the cap for success rate, and when a player should no longer be able to level the stat

so

[ARK_Additions]
HeliCanConvertTek=True
HeliCanConvertCrafted=True

[hidden vault]

I used the lasst one to no effect figured it wouldnt but that previous block ill try out

[leaden junco]

I see i'll try to figure it out

[leaden junco]

wait it does save on C Drive, how do i edit this then?

[brisk schooner]

It depends if you installed the dedicated server or your game on C drive.
Windows has very strict User Account Controls. Generally speaking, it's safer to install all Steam games to a different hard drive, because it can prevent you altering files it thinks should be protected on your main operating system hard drive.

Normally it will give you a protection warning in your security settings, You open Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security > Device Performance & Health > Protection History and it will list any recorded times it prevented an application from access .

[leaden junco]

I see thanks

[hidden vault]

so far this hasnt worked for tek I will play around with the first part later, getting frustrated with this figured it would not be so hard to enable

[wise kindle]

Set Maxdifficulty to false.
It locks you single player levels.

How far do you get? Can you launch the game and get to the main menu?

[dreamy atlas]

Yes to all three questions

[sonic crag]

Is this a good spot for support?

[uncut geyser]

I launch the game, it says unable to log in, I can still play, just in offline mode, but I got the game specifically so I could play with friends

[red juniper]

so im having this issue, i my server is set to OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6, which should spawm max 180 lvl, for some reason dinos levels between 120- 162 are not spawning, i can see 120 and below and 168 an above , has anybody experienced this?

[sonic crag]

WTF is this discord server for just chatting and server support? Is there support for the actual game anywhere on this server?

[devout summit]

You can submit tickets via their website, but you wont get a reply anytime soon. Discord is faster if your question is something we have encountered. A lot of folks here have hosted ark servers themselves and might have answers. Just ask what you need

[sonic crag]

I'm not interested in forum support. I want game support

[devout summit]

Try the customer support channel on here. It goes to devs but again, idk when youll get replies. It is a holiday.

Or, you can ask here. Worst case, nobody can help and you wait on your ticket. Best case, theres already an answer.

[sonic crag]

When you go to the website, the support is based on the forums for bans and issues. There's no support for the actual game. As for customer support here, it links you to the website. It's a loop hell with no support. I don't know where to begin to find support on this server

[devout summit]

What do you need support with?

[brisk schooner]

You launch the game from Steam, right?

[devout summit]

Try asking here

[stuck leaf]

i've managed to get it fixed, thank you and everyone else

[uncut geyser]

Yes

Ok, it says “ connection failed, the client has failed to connect to mod services”

[devout summit]

This error has appeared before. Not sure what all you have tried yet, but sometimes a reboot of the system has helped folks. If youre using a wifi router, or have control over it and are ok to, maybe restart that as well. To avoid any network related issues.

[brisk schooner]

OK tha'ts Epic. And they were having problems last week too, blocking people from logging in to their games and things saying that accounts didn't exist or couldn't be logged in. It's no coincidene that last time was around Christmas, and now it's New Year's. Most likely their servers simply can't handle the loads of so many people off work trying to get online at the same time.

Probably a total computer restart and/or network restart as Airy mentioned might clear whatever it is. but it could also be another case of them blocking DNS addresses again, they did that before too.

Are you running a VPN? If you are, try logging in without that. Otherwise, network reset if possible, logging completely out of steam and back in, etc etc

[uncut geyser]

Ok, thank you, I will try that! It makes me feel a little better knowing that it might not be something I’m doing 😄

[brisk schooner]

Hey guess what? I have a bot that helps people get their epic id numbers and it's not working right now. It's telling people that they don't have an epic account!
So this is definitely not something you're doing. I'm positive it's on Epic's side.

[uncut geyser]

Yeah, I did a network reset, computer reboot, verified drivers were up to date, validated game install files (ultimately reinstalled the game). Turned off my VPN 🤷‍♀️

[sonic crag]

**My Specs:**
• CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K  
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (upgraded from 3070 Ti — only hardware change)  
• OS: Windows 11  

**The Issue:**
Ever since I swapped to the 5070 Ti, ASA crashes to desktop every ~5 minutes no matter what I do. Game ran perfectly smooth on my old 3070 Ti. This card cost a fortune and now the game is completely unplayable.

**What I've Already Tried (Didn't Work):**
• Analyzed crash logs with Gemini AI and followed every suggested fix  
• Disabled Frame Generation in-game  
• Verified game files, reinstalled shaders, etc.

**Question:**
Is this a known 50-series driver fuckup with ASA? Anyone with a 5070 Ti (or 5080/5090) found a reliable workaround?

**Potential Fixes I've Seen Mentioned (Planning to Try):**
1. **Driver Rollback** — Use DDU in safe mode to nuke current drivers, then install older ones like 576.80 or 577.xx (lots of reports this fixes it for ASA)
2. Update motherboard BIOS for better 50-series support
3. Disable Resizable BAR (ReBAR) in BIOS
4. Turn off Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling in Windows
5. Double-check PSU cables / power delivery (5070 Ti can spike hard)

If anyone has this card and got ASA stable, please drop what worked for you. I'm desperate as hell here 😂```

[low dew]

@sonic crag go to bobs with probs channel this is unofficial setup help for dedicated servers

[bleak ivy]

its also setup help for singleplayer
crashes should be bobs tho yeah

[pallid ridge]

Everytime someone tries to access the creature tab with any transmitter, on our unofficial server, it crashes their game. It's been an issue since lost colony update, anyone know of a fix to this?

[wary falcon]

How do I fix cave loot not spawning in SP?

[barren void]

can someone help me with lost colony. i cannot get the dynamic snow to work on my server and i cant figure out what settings i need to mess with to enable them

[devout summit]

I know they said go to bobs with probs but i can tell you the cpu is bottlenecking your system..i had a 9th gen CPU too and it always crashed out. I upgraded my system to a 12th gen (i9-12900) and it works fine.

This might mean, that youll need to upgrade your cpu, and probably the motherboard since those usually go together.

The gpu isnt your issue, that card works just fine with ASA. Hell i only upgraded to a 4070 and that runs it perfectly fine too. But the cpu is old af and going to be one of your main causes for your problems.

The upgrade wont be cheap as i mentioned. Cpu and motherboard usually go together, so your current motherboard likely wont support newer cpus. And that may mean you need new RAM and those are getting very expensive right now.

[low dew]

@pallid ridge you have mods ?

try a server without mods and see if it still crashes if it dosnt you will have your answer also the crash logs might hold some information to

@uncut geyser you missing your amazon certificates or visual c ++

self hosting i assume

[iron bronze]

I'm guessing no one knows the answer to this??

all asume its like hte converttostore command

you only need to run it once then you can remove it since it was patche

I recently got ark and it looks really grainy and the lighting looks horrible no matter if im playing on high or epic quality

[tardy pine]

Rebooting my cluster after quite a while. Is the Gigantoraptor still a mod or is it in the base game now?

[young dove]

I know I'm super late to this party, but some points:

1. As someone else previously suggested, your CPU could be a major bottleneck. The I9-9900K is a circa 2018 CPU and supports PCI Express 3.0 while the 5070 Ti uses the 5.0 interface specification. To put it into perspective, 3.0 has a max speed of 32GB/sec and 5.0 has a max speed of 128GB/sec.
2. I wouldn't disable ReBAR as this would actually be a performance downgrade. Disabling this functionality results in your system only being able to access the GPU's VRAM in 256MB chunks whereas enabling it lets your system access the entire framebuffer as a single chunk, resulting in faster performance.
3. Unless there's a motherboard BIOS update that specifically addresses your issue, it's unlikely this will have an effect on your problem.
4. Hardware assisted GPU scheduling should not be disabled because your CPU is already a bottleneck and disabling this functionality pushes frame buffering onto your CPU instead of letting the GPU handle it. You want the CPU doing less work, not more.

Given your problem, and the age of your system, I have a sneaking suspicion that you are probably hitting a failsafe in Windows called Timeout Detection & Recovery (TDR). I posted a long winded explanation of this on the ARK forums a couple of years ago, along with a possible workaround. But, alas, the moderators refuse to allow links here (for obvious reasons). You can DM me if you want and I'll send you a link to the forum post.

[leaden junco]

I have succeded to uncap the level on my non dedicated server for the wild dinos, but now im trying to figure it for the player max level, planning to get them max to 500 and i've tried the youtube method where you type the override level stuff and type until 500 on the game.ini file but seems like it doesnt make any changes. Any idea?

[wise kindle]

Its base game.

[devout summit]

Im not aware of there being a parameter to override player max levels. The base game caps it based on ascension levels (completed map bosses from story maps), but there are other ingame mechanics that help increase the level cap of players:

• level up a chibi
• collect all explorer notes
• collect all dossiers (creature notes)
• bobs tall tale notes (if you have dlc).

Might be missing something cant recall if there was another milestone to increase the cap. But if doing all the maps you can get it quite high, especially on alpha ascensions.

Outside of that, the only other way ive seen character levels exceed the games usual maximum is by running overhaul mods that change the entire game.

[rugged shale]

I don't think it's his processor's fault. I have the same problem and I have a bundle of 14700kf+5070ti. I have frequent crashes when logging into the server at the time of loading cosmetic mods. If I delete all the mods from the mods folder and disable dynamic loading of cosmetics, then everything goes perfectly for me. I've already broken my head what the problem is.

[devout summit]

Your issue isnt the same, your game runs fine without mods. Mods are the problem in your case, could be the mods arent well optimized or something else, but in the other persons case theyre hitting a bottleneck like i was when i had a similar cpu.

Then again, ASA did make performance improvements since the time i upgraded my system. But on week 1 of release, my 9th gen cpu couldnt run the game for more than a few mins without crashing out.

Their GPU is perfectly fine. But that cpu has very limited resources and speed, and im willing to be if they benchmark it while running ASA its getting pretty close to maxxing out its capabilities.

Ark is still very cpu intensive, gpus arent doing nearly as much processing in this game by comparison.

[rugged shale]

Is there a problem with cosmetic mods? But my tribembers don't have such crashes, having the same cosmetic mods on our main base..

What I noticed. This crash problem with dynamic loading of cosmetics starts when any event mods are launched. I'm playing on a non-mod server, only the Winter's Tale event is installed.

[shell island]

anyway to increase tether distance for non dedicated games?!

[low dew]

no

[drifting cypress]

215 is the current hard cap you’ll not get past that. 195 was previous up til lost colony was released. It doesn’t matter the settings.

[drifting cypress]

That’s usually a sign of a corrupt player file. There’s no solution other than a new player creation. I could be mistaken in this cause but I’ve seen this many times in the past. It’ll happaen at an obelisk too.

That’s assuming crossark is enabled. If it’s not then this is not the problem

[solar drift]

hello is anyone else having problems? it says connection failed the client has failed to connect to mod services, putting the mod system into offline mode. you can use your currently downloaded mods in singleplayer

[low dew]

@solar drift need a bit more context

[brisk schooner]

Mod services are controlled by CurseForge. When you join a server, you connect to CurseForge servers which verifies which mods you have purchased or installed. If the CF network are down, you will get this error.

[pallid ridge]

Yes we all made new characters for lost colony, and it still isn't working. We were on extinction prior with our old characters and it also wasn't working. So it doesn't seem as though making a new character fixed it for us unfortunately 😭

We only have 1 server so we don't use crossark either. So some of us tried going into single-player to download some of our stuff (to test if it was just our server) and we can't access our creatures in single-player either

[low dew]

you running -usestore in your server launch param when your first started your server

interesting

how many of you is it affecting @pallid ridge

[pallid ridge]

I believe 5 of us so far. I was the last that it started effecting. At first I could download and upload creatures just fine. But then it randomly started crashing for me as well

[low dew]

this only happens on your dedi not any other dedi?

[pallid ridge]

I haven't tried any other server yet

One of my friends has been effected by this since the lc update

[low dew]

is it just crashing the client or the server also is it console or pc

[pallid ridge]

We all on pc, cross play disabled. And it's just crashing our clients, the server seems perfectly fine

It even crashes in single player

We all tried re installing the game and that didn't help either

[low dew]

have you tried disabling steam overlay and using the run inventory in low res setting

[pallid ridge]

I have my steam overlay disabled, but I don't know about the low res setting. I'll give that try and see if it works, thank you 😊 🙏

Hopefully it works 😭

[low dew]

Press escape. Turn off the UI Volume. Then go to graphics and turn the UI 3d widgets quality down to the lowest setting@pallid ridge

you can also try this in your console to but you will have to put this on every time you go into the game

Ark.VertexCountScaling 1

try all that then report back

[pallid ridge]

Okay, I'll let ya know if this is the fix. Thank you Rex 🙏

[low dew]

If it crashes again locate your local save folder and send me shooter game logs @pallid ridge

How do I make imprint 100% in a single imprint on ascended single player?

[high forge]

#unofficial-setup-help message

[vernal girder]

Yea i know. Nothing about Lost Colony. Idk iff this areas are blocked on official servers.

[maiden dune]

I am trying to set up a ASE server for myself and two friends to play on so we dont have to worry about the stupid tether ark. I set up everything via the wiki page and my cmd never says that the server starts and it seems the ports did not open even though I opened them on my router and added rules in my firewall

can anyone help?

[near hawk]

aperently it's only blocked if the mission is spawned in

[vernal girder]

Oka🙂

[left frigate]

hello everyone

I cant start my server

or it wont show up

[grim zephyr]

how to get reaper pheromon on lsot colony ? to tame a reaper queen ?

[near hawk]

kill a reaper

[pale mantle]

i get 15 mins to kill a boss? any way to make this a little less rushed? maybe 30 mins?

[frail crescent]

You don't tame the queen, you get implanted by her to grow a king.

[grim zephyr]

yea but on aberraiton was you need to use a pheremon

[grim zephyr]

that she will give you a baby

[stray rover]

Does anyone else have a problem with the Solwin only giving Primal Vulpite even if it's high level?

[celest halo]

nope i got a mastercraft from a 110

[stray rover]

You got that today too. I got one, but since yesterday they've only been giving me primitive ones, regardless of the Solwin level.

[celest halo]

got it yesterday

[magic goblet]

has anyone managed to get in Lost Colony Map through 'travel to another server' carrying your old character? I've a 195 survivor but it does not appear to download..

[frail crescent]

Need to make sure that the download survivor is set to false in GUS
PreventDownloadSurvivors=false

[magic goblet]

I'm trying this now, i have 7 servers with ctrl c ctrl v config, all then works fine, but lost colony no..

[frail crescent]

Make sure your Cluster ID is the same in the Startup Arguments

[magic goblet]

that part is working cause it show to travel, i can enter there, but no sign of my survivor

[frail crescent]

Did you login to the server previously with a level 1 character?

and is the map currently Blank?

[magic goblet]

preventdownload didnt work either

[magic goblet]

no, never created a surviror there, fresh map

im trying to jump from ragnarok to lost colony with my survivor

[frail crescent]

It actually sounds like your Cluster Shared folder might not be accessable from the LC

Usually when transfering theres a shared folder that all servers use as a buffer folder to transfer

[magic goblet]

i found the problem,
my ragnarok on asct servers > E:\ARK_Server\Ark_Creator_Server\
my lost colony was without "_" E:\ARK_Server\Ark Creator Server
thanks for the help..curious about why the _ didnt pass only on this server..

[dreamy void]

does turning off item dupe check help with stability on a server? I’m on a private friends only server so it’s not really needed

[frail crescent]

Might help yes, no reason to do that if you trust your friends. Do regular "destroywilddinos" once in a while. What Mods are you running?

[dreamy void]

We have 17 mods using 4 GB, Biggest ones likely causing issues are CFK, and/or Wall n Floor Deco. We also made a village with some pretty elaborate structures which is definitely causing most of our problems but trying to reduce in other ways before we have to make bigger changes

[frail crescent]

Using Cybersstructures by chance?

[dreamy void]

yes

[frail crescent]

Are you using the Nannys?

[dreamy void]

Yep

[frail crescent]

nannys have a known issue currently where it lags the server alot

[dreamy void]

Well the gardener and farmer, if that’s the same thing

[frail crescent]

Those are ok, just the CS Nanny

[dreamy void]

gotchu we haven’t been using that one

Any settings in the ini we could change? on nitrado

[frail crescent]

If they arent out, they wont be causing any lag then

But yeah are you getting just FPS drops or latency rubber banding?

[dreamy void]

I don’t think latency is the issue, likely just fps drops that are causing us to crash

[frail crescent]

Since you said you have a elaborate village its safe to say that is a good source of the issues.

I dunno what options you can disable on Playstation

can try r.volumetriccloud 0

if you're able to do that

[warm lake]

what is the best unoffi pvp server with the most players?

[frail crescent]

https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/800537425826021377

[dreamy void]

definitely. We’ve tried a bunch of console commands and they’ve made things better, still crashing a little too frequently tho. I was wondering if turning down the max structure limit, even if we aren’t actually hitting that limit, will help

[frail crescent]

Limiting the structure limit all thats gonna do is just prevent ppl from making beyond that amount

[dreamy void]

gotcha. The obvious solution is just decorate with vanilla stuff and Take off the deco mods, just figured i’d ask if there’s some settings we have on that might be adding to the problem

[green karma]

no they do not, the CS one had that fixed almost 8 months ago now.

[frail crescent]

Hate to say it, but it still exists. We had massive lag issues and the second we deleted the Nanny's off the server, it was cleared up. Was confirmed by another server admin as well whom brought it to my attention.

[green karma]

Interesting, cause the code causing the lag was removed

[frail crescent]

Something about it still lingered. But i had it tested on multiple maps that had this issue within our cluster, and the minute we destroyed the Nannys, no more lag.

[sonic crag]

Question: First time setting up Ark Dedicated server but I'm not new to Dedicated servers. I run my server on a different machine with ports 7777-7778 open for that machine and the firewall is open. When I search ASA unofficial for my server, it doesn't show up. Why?

[green karma]

How long ago though, because I have had others say it is gone.

Would you be interested in DM'ing privately with a map that causes this

[frail crescent]

sent dm

[bleak ivy]

probably filters. ASA servers show even if port-forwarding isn't working.

[sonic crag]

We finally got it working after a few check marks here and there. Unfortunately the dedicated server is really bad. Probably the only server I ran that lags and teleports you all over the place. It was really bad. I did a non dedicated host with my friend and it's running smooth from my main computer

[bleak ivy]

how much RAM do you have?

CPU matters too

[dire wharf]

on a self hosted Lost colony server what settings do I need to change so the wilds will spawn like Center map, levels 15-150?

[bleak ivy]

mods, custom dino levels or vanilla with sprinkles are two that I know.

[sonic crag]

32GB of Ram, CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core with a 3070 Ti GPU for my server

[bleak ivy]

max level 150 is difficulty 5 but then you get the story distribution which is very bad.

[dire wharf]

is there an INI setting so it can be done without mods? the admin perfers not to use mods

yes, we don't want level 5 dinos

[bleak ivy]

not that I've ever done.
I think there is a way to do it but I've never looked into it as those 2 exist.

[dire wharf]

I bet someone like @ebon escarp may know since all his maps have spawns like Center?

[bleak ivy]

creating maps is very different to messing with the ini settings

[bleak ivy]

that CPU is better then mine.
do you use mods and how many People?

[sonic crag]

Zero mods and only 2 people

[bleak ivy]

that should be 100% fine then. something else was happening.
could be normal lost colony initial lag?

[sonic crag]

Running The Island

[bleak ivy]

what would be happening on the island lol. I have no idea, that server should be just fine in running any map with 2 people.

[sonic crag]

I run all kinds of servers, that was the main reason I build that PC for gaming servers. This one, it doesn't run well at all

[bleak ivy]

unless you are running multiple servers at once it shouldn't be.

[peak fern]

DisableCryopodFridgeRequirement=True
DisableCryopodEnemyCheck=True

Do these settings still exist? I keep adding them to my serversettings in gameusersettings.ini and its removing them automatically

[celest halo]

you adding them with the server still running

[low dew]

@peak fernget hte configurable cryo pod mod

[hasty river]

can anyone tell me how to enable 3rd person view??

[mossy quest]

mouse scroll

[young dove]

Are there any Lost Colony specific server settings to override the default behavior of the map? Looking to make some changes.

[frigid vine]

Hrello 🙂
Does somebody get it work, to transfer ONLY the veilwyn like WC wrote?
-allowicefox is added as start-up and part of GUS.INI is:

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

Still can't get work. Veilwyn is visible in upload/cloud but the download button is missing.

[grand ice]

does anyone know how to get admincheats enable to your own server?

[frigid vine]

just open console access and write enablecheats YOUR_PASSWORD

[grand ice]

i did that but nothing happens

[regal plume]

I have the same problem. From my research when you set prevent downloads there’s no way to just let the Weilwyn be downloadable.

[frigid vine]

But then all dinos downloadable i guess, or? Did you tried?

[green tangle]

Yo guys excuse the question maybe "out of place" is there anyone who is interested in buying an ark server? discord included

[low dew]

@grand ice you add your admin pass to the gus dedi dont use command admincheat it only uses cheat

admincheat is for sp

[low dew]

wtf?

[proven vessel]

Any smart people able to help a simple man such as myself figure out how to change the recipe for S+ tek stove and forge on my buddies private server? I've tried a couple lines in the .ini but I can't seem to get the wording right I guess.

[pure haven]

is it safe to do wild dinowipes now or it still break outposts spawns?

[regal plume]

I tried, I don’t allow transfers to Lost Colony for thirty days. I added the -Allowicefox in the Argument command line and it still doesn’t allow the transfer of the Weilwyn. Unless there’s some super secret squirrel way. I don’t know how to allow the Weilwyn only.

[frigid vine]

I started a post in WC forum (survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/773522-veilwyn-in-lost-colony-still-not-tranferable/), hope maybe somebody there has a idea how it should works

[lethal canopy]

I’m having an issue where it says my nitrado is trying to update to the new version, and is restarting, to running, then restarting again, updating, and the back to running. It has been looping like this for over an hour. Is this the update just trying to install or do I have a bigger issue?

[worldly imp]

cane any1 help me when i add the ip to steam it shows it worked and its in favorites but when i launch ark its not there cane any1 help?

[low dew]

@lethal canopy your problem is nitrado there rubbish

[barren void]

would someone running a lost colony dedicated server tell me what settings need to be configured for the fluid snow. for what i understand interactive foliage affects them but i cant get it to work. ive used different hosting softwares and have configured the settings at both client and server side but i still cant get the snow to work

[velvet kernel]

anyone having issues with imprinting when taming the Solwyn? We are getting them to 100% for it to just drop back to 0%

[velvet kernel]

have you recently added any mods? sometimes they can mess with the server - if you have, i suggest removing it - stopping and then starting the server, not just restarting it.

if you haven't messed with mods - you can try to do a backup. you may lose some progress but sometimes that can fix it as well. i have had friends reach out to customer service as well and they've been able to repair it too. I've not done it personally though so i cant speak to that.

[languid shell]

My steam wont show uodates. When i launch ark im on update 77.54 while all servers are on 77.61 but when i go to steam there is no update it just says play, if tried reloading steam and pc, clearing my download cache and reinstalling the game nothing helps?

[celest halo]

they dont always release same version numbers for client and servers

[languid shell]

yea but when i try to load into a server i just get black screen and it says lost connection on top of that my friends ark says 77.61 and he has zero problems joining

[celest halo]

#patch-notes has 77.54 as latest for client, if hes on a server it will show servers version and clients version

[hearty elbow]

Yes I have, was just coming here to ask if anyone else is having the same problem, on console but unofficial, tried it so many times, different solwyns, relogging, nothing

[spiral palm]

Not sure if this is the place to ask, becasue of the map it is, but anyone had issues with Astraeos not showing in the server list? Just added it to my cluster (self-hosted, Windows) and nothing. Added it the same way I do any of the maps. No errors on boot, but I am running some mods. Is Astraeos unfriendly with mods?

Just added Lost Colony about 2 weeks ago and no issues. Exact same process. Astraeos is the first one I've had issues with

[stuck leaf]

it shouldn't be a mod issue, my astraeos is self hosted with 14 mods showing fine in server list

[spiral palm]

Yeah I just confirmed not mods. Trying to confirm my firewall, but that shouldn't be an issue since I can see all 9 other maps I have in my cluster.

ty for doubly confirming though

[stuck leaf]

whats server name, maybe i can find it? or if you have someone else to check for you

[spiral palm]

it ws someone else (outside my LAN) that reported it not showing up to me XD

[stuck leaf]

but you can see it?

[spiral palm]

nope

i can't see it and neither can they

[stuck leaf]

and it definitely says in logs online and ready to join?

[spiral palm]

yep, everything in the terminal is normal and the same as all the other maps. 0 differences.

well, obvious differences, I havn't scruitinized every letter lol

[stuck leaf]

if you go in sp can you use the open command to join it?

[spiral palm]

hmm i hadn't tried that. Does it require a modID being in the list of mods? I haven't done that.

[stuck leaf]

no, just go into single player on and run this command

cheat Open "IP:Port?Password"

[indigo ivy]

So when I start up my server it says it’s running but it’s greyed out

[velvet kernel]

We found a way (the community) that if you get to where the Solwyn is, then un-companion your veilwyn, the re-companion it, that seemed to work for our players. Not ideal, but seems like a work-around

[stuck leaf]

if it doesn't let you join, id say its likely either port or config issue if logs says its good and running

[indigo ivy]

I just finished editing it changing the map I kept restarting the server but i have the same problem

[indigo ivy]

Can you help

[stuck leaf]

wdym by grayed out, like in the server list?

[indigo ivy]

Yeah

And when you try to join it refreshes instead

[stuck leaf]

does the log tell you anything, like an ip request for you joining or anything like that? are you self hosted?

[indigo ivy]

Its hosted thru nitrado

How do I check log it’s asa

[stuck leaf]

i wouldn't know for nitrado, i only self host you'd have to wait for someone else to help with that issue unfortunately

[indigo ivy]

Is self hosting hard

[stuck leaf]

i wouldn't say so, but it can vary a little depending on what os you're using and a few other things

[stuck leaf]

you'd need a decent spec machine or machines depending on how many servers you're hosting, then you'd need to know how to port forward so you can access them off lan

[spiral palm]

is there a port cap for ASA? Coulda sworn the ports didn't matter. These are what I'm using, pretty sure queryport isn't used anymore but i've just left it in because ASA never complained Astraeos_WP?Port=7797?QueryPort=30010?

rcon works, because I've been able to shut down astreos with my web app. it seems just joining is broken, cause even with the single player method I was getting time outs

[stuck leaf]

isnt the port meant to be a -port?

[spiral palm]

probably works that way. been doing it this way since ASE. Works for everything... other than astreos lol

i have a script that compiles the start up line from a DB, and it compiles it using the old ASE method, and all the maps till now have worked lol

[stuck leaf]

you could try changing the port that would tell you if its a port issue or something else

[celest halo]

time to wait for patch notes to see what they "broke" this time

 UPDATES FOUND ON STEAM 
ARK: Survival Ascended Dedicated Server (2430930:public)
Released: January 3, 2026 4:25 PM,
Today at 4:28 PM
``` time is EST

[hearty elbow]

Ohh ok thank you I’ll try that! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 thank you for your reply 😊

[bold thicket]

Anybody having any issues with Custom Cosmetic mods not working on there server (im on PVP server that me and my friends run)

[main rain]

I just got ark for pc so i wanna play moded ark does anyone wanna play with me?

[fierce timber]

Has anybody else noticed that certain crystals on Lost Colony (when harvested and you build close enough to cause the resource to not physically spawn back in) have solely its light emission/fps performance hit spawn back in without the actual crystal?

I had structures present and physically the crystal in my area didn't respawn, but the 7-8 fps hit from its terribly optimized red glow/emissions on the surrounding wall/landscape was still being spawned in/existing. (Same for other crystals for other players on my map of different locations/crystal colors.)

When I removed these structures and allowed the giant crystal to spawn back in as usual, the red glow/emission was then removed and fps climbed back up to normal when I harvested/destroyed the resource node.

[ornate escarp]

Any setting to allow building in the city? Is it the allow cave building setting?

[tepid berry]

Any patch notes for this latest update?

[tepid berry]

We tried everything with this, and Wildcard just doesn't seem to give a sh*t. So we opened up transfers for dinos only on our servers, told people ONLY to transfer veilwyn, and then closed them again.

[frigid vine]

Yeah can understand the frustation. Its a bit sad, true

[tepid berry]

Astraeos isn't a mod, it's a fully genuine map - if you're adding the mod ID for the old mod-map when it was in development then you're gonna screw things up. There is no mod id for Astraeos. All maps have to be on different port #'s

[fading thicket]

i have the box to not allow cave flyers checked but im still able to fly inside of caves, anyone know if theres a fix?

[spiral palm]

Fixed it: My update script wasn't properly updating it and idiot me wasn't checking the map version >.> Make sure your maps are up to date people!

[low dew]

make sure your ports are forwarded and that the console has a green dot and is advartising

[low dew]

theres a gus setting for cave fliers google it for the setting

[reef thistle]

No one has issues with LC after the 62 update, eh?

[low dew]

no issues here

[low dew]

only issue i have with LC is metal armor is not in the engrams so if you transfer to LC with metal armor you lose it i donno what brain dead dev at WC thought that was smart

[trim wraith]

check if its allowing it in ini as sometimes the general doesnt match up with ini

[tardy cradle]

Is anyone having problems with players disconnecting on the server? Time out ??

[naive hawk]

I urgently need help. In ARK: Lost Colony, the game crashed when I was using a substitute character. When I returned to the game, I found that my level had dropped from 189 to 86. I am very anxious because I spent a lot of time on leveling up. I hope you friends can report this issue to the GM. Thank you very much
😫

[iron coral]

what happens if my server is deleted? do i lose my character?

[near hawk]

Yes

[queen crow]

Yep, bye, bye toon.

[agile cedar]

My ark freezes after like 2 mins when I start it up how do I fix it?

[near hawk]

ASA or ASE?

[agile cedar]

Ase

[winter nimbus]

I have a question about the tribute upload timers. To turn off the timers would I need to set it at 0 or -1? Running server from nitrado by the way.

[near hawk]

try switching to preaquatica

[agile cedar]

How?

[near hawk]

On steam library right click ark, go to properties and go to betas and switch to preaquatica beta

[stray axle]

In a cluster server how do we uploade ourselfs into the cloud to go to the next world we only have club ark and 1 world abberation. We cant find the upload survivor option and we have that on on the server.

Lol wish it was not. We need cluster in order to play in clubark if we have a dedicated server clubark wil not work.

We are using nitrado as server

Alright than we gonna downlode or creatures out of the transmitter to be save xD and than temp turn of cross ark

[untold mason]

so here is a question I probably shouuld have ask a long time ago (with my memory I might have and forgotten lol) I have set up my ded-srvs using the ini files from the base setting when installing - i then bumped up difficulty so 210 dinos spawn, and set my tame to 4 and my hatching and maturing to 4 as well. Is that the same as setting something to 'small tribes" or is there a lot more to it to "small tribe settings"? I only play solo but i use ded-serv instead of local so friend can play if they want. Most have gone on to other games so I play mostly alone and was wondering what the real difference was between the default, small tribe, solo stuff

[low dew]

What guy wants to play club ark it needs to be in the cluster it's accessed through the esc menu and is a different char from ur main

Rewards auto go to the transmitter if you don't scrap them notributedownloads needs to be active everything else needs to be false

[stray axle]

so we changed out our world on nitrado server from abberation to extinsion and now we both have this pink light shadow particle glitch shimmering as code glitches in our screen. we already restarted the server and relogged and quit game a few times but it does not go away. i cant place picture here so yea... cant show it.

anyone know what to do to get it away we also tryed changing settings

[placid gulch]

Does anyone know what the s-maewing eats other than kibble? I’ve tried cooked lamb and memo Barry already

[glad pumice]

Was playing my aberration server perfectly fine and i crashed, ever since i cant load more then 30 seconds before crashing again and again...

[wise kindle]

I believe its cyan kibble or something like that

[low dew]

anyone else lose there chest legs and boot armor when transfering to lost colony always the same 3 pieces no matter what

[remote spruce]

Question, ive been thinking about getting my own solo server. For Nitrado, will the basic subscription run Lost Colony? - Ive heard on other servers you require extra RAM or Space to run Lost Colony

[untold mason]

i transfer all the time on my cluster and don't loose anything. one wierd thing happens, my stats get goofed and nearly double but a mindwipe fixes it if it happens. that is the only screwy thing i have on transfers atm

[low dew]

i figured it out

i use the npc human mod which crashes lc the armor pieces were from said mod

[tidal gull]

hi! im trying to run a server on my pc so my friends and i ca play on xbox. i tried running a dedicated server on my pc but my friend couldnt join it. he tried joining other servers, didt work. and it did the same to me. it only let me join unoffical pc servers

[stray axle]

Enable crossplatform on server and in your both game settings and make sure the mods are also crossplatform compatible.

[untold mason]

you can run the dedicated server - but you will need to have a port open on your router/modem to allow your friend to connect as well and enable crossplatform on the server

[glad pumice]

Was playing my aberration server perfectly fine and i crashed, ever since i cant load more then 30 seconds before crashing again and again...

[tidal gull]

how do i "have an open port on my modem"? like i dont think i have a bunch of stuff plugged in

[untold mason]

no - a query port for the game. it is in the advance setting for your modem/router under "Port forwarding" usually. Google "how do I port forward for ark dedicated server"

then you need to had that specific port named in the port forwarding in your startup .bat file command so it can listen for people trying to join

atm I am guessing you can see the server in the list - this is becasue your server is advertising to join. however, that is outgoing info - you need to be able to have incoming info to the server and that requires port forwarding to identify the exact port so it can pass it to the game when a person trys to join from outside your local area network

forexample - i have -Port=7778 listed for my island server in the startup cdm. and each map I run gets its own. I run all the maps including the dlc ones so i have 10 servers so i had to portfarward port 7778-7787 so each will have it's own unique port to listen for incoming traffic when someone wnats to join

hope this helps

[oak bear]

Can someone share me your modded shootergame file so I can merge it into my game? I cannot logged in into my game since bought so mine save dont have any "mod" file with the ini to it, so i cannot manually install anything from curseforge

[pure haven]

i cant start my lost colony server at all now and getting same fatal exception error with Last Remote Function DestroyChargeBuff_Multicast i tried roll back a server a bit and still getting it. anyway found a way to fix it?

[hazy silo]

leave the server configs headaches and come join legends unhinged!

[glad pumice]

Was playing my aberration server perfectly fine and i crashed, ever since i cant load more then 30 seconds before crashing again and again...

[stray axle]

Reinstal or roleback server

[glad pumice]

I will try, what causes that to be needed?

[stray axle]

A crash a very unlucky crash

[glad pumice]

Aberrations had me crashing SO MUCH

[stray axle]

Me and my friend swap maps from abberation to extinsion and now we both have pink flowting dots and short lines like coding on our screen with some shadow and light affect. Very very annoying we both dont know and cant find how to fix that.

Nitrado server

[glad pumice]

I'm telling yaaaa

[worldly mantle]

Is anyone experiencing crashes with Aberration or other maps? I have a dedicated server.

[stray axle]

I did not but my friend keep crashing ever so slightly when interacting with a charging station or obelix

[quasi stone]

I keep getting a client crash when interacting with smithy

everything else works fine just smithy

[gaunt berry]

The newest update is it for clients only or does servers on nitrado need to be updated aswell

[still thunder]

when the f*ck did this idiot company change the heli sucess rate to a 90% hardcap even when using HeliSetSuccessRateCap=0.0

[glad pumice]

What on earth is going on with trash ass Nitrado

Can't even load it

[storm jungle]

Hey guys, me and my friend used to play are on Xbox - PC crossplay, we both have PC now and we were sick of the boundary thing where you got too far from the host

How do we set up a server so that it doesn’t have this boundary and is it possible for us both to access this server at any point or is the host required to be online

[near hawk]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup

[fierce timber]

I've set the various outpost .ini values to 0 since they're complete trash/not worth doing until difficulty is nerfed + rewards massively buffed along with negatively affecting server latency/perf, but they continue spawning on server.

Is there a way to truly make them not spawn for the time being or is this yet something else broken that only WC can fix it?
