it said i paid 14 for gportal but took away 18 is that taxes ?
Servers on nitrado have already updated but still no event with current offical event turned on.
might be a slow roll out, my Nitrado servers have not updated yet
Why can i not activate the 7th birtday event on my unofficial ps4 servers? Also not working on my single player.
Same on my Gportal servers
It won't work on SP because it was a server only patch sorry.
For the unofficial server how are attempting to activate it?
I set it to current official events and tried the -activeevent=ark7th in the cheat bar and nothing. I've done dino wipes and still nothing aswell.
Still waiting for GPortal here, too.
Edit GPortal now shows an "Ark7th" event in the drop-down event selector 🥳
Still nothing for nitrado
Still nothing even with adding the command line they gave us into Nitrado
Glad to know its not just me! I take it this is likely a nitrado issue then.
Possibly. I’m hoping they give us some more info.
Not for me on ps4
Sorry :( I should have specified I have a PC server
If pc was not that expensive i would go back to it. I used to be a pc gamer back in the day's when game pc's were still cheap to buy
Anyone able to activate the event on unofficial servers yet?
Yea seems like it. I have some pink / cyan / purple stuff popping up
Yes mine is working @obsidian hatch
What did you do? Just set it to official event under general settings?
However my rag map is messed up with heat waves and auto engrams no longer work...I have no idea how to fix that lol, issue only after update
@obsidian hatch I changed under general to birthday and in the INI file using pram under #announcements
Under GUS, below [server settings]
I also typed it 2 ways the -activeevent=ark7th and just activeevent=ark7th without the -
Ok so! I have nitrado. I don’t have a drop down option to set the 7th birthday thing. Here’s what I did….
Checked “current official event” in general setting drop down. Moved to ini settings
Typed:
Activeevent=ark7th
Also
-activeevent=ark7th
Used both commands cause I dunno which one they meant to say 🤷🏻♀️ I have colors lol
Lots of pinks / cyans
Should mention i Dino wiped like 3 times before I saw color
I'm pretty new to this. I dont know how to use the ini settings. I did change it on the drop down
@dapper rover I use nitrado as well the drop down in under general settings just for future reference :)
@obsidian hatch you will have to change it in the ini to over ride to get it to work
Well that’s what I typed. But I don’t have the 7th option there 😉 been using nitrado 2.5yrs not at all surprised not to see the drop down option
Hard to explain under text but some good YouTube videos on bow to get to the INI, you need to enable expert mode
@dapper rover no its just called "birthday"
No hun it’s always been an option, this isn’t the normal “birthday” this is seperate. If you pick birthday you get the old birthday event
But it each their own 🤷🏻♀️ I picked current official event & added the coding to my game ini and I have totally different colors then the standard “birthday” event
Hum mines working thats odd, maybe cause I did it in INI as well not sure
Ok I do have expert enabled. Just never had to use anything other than the drop down so far to change events.
You prob have the original bday event
I have ALOT of hot pink / cyan / purple / yellow. This one is very bright lol
I’m also seeing random black & pink combos
Oh are lavender, pink and cyan old color dinos? I can't remember the colors lol been doing this for 3 years haha
If old colors ill redo it to be sure I have it right
Hi! I need help fixing my ark server. I use bisect hosting if there is anyone who could think they could help me!
fixing what?
My rates, whenever I save them they will not apply to my server, it just stays vanilla
@floral warren
@cloud minnow are you shutting the server down, waiting for 10min, set settings ans restart?
Are you editing with the server shut down?
Not really, just recommend to keep from having rollback issues and setting issues ive done it faster but best to wait
How are you editing the rates?
@floral warren was asking the same lol
can i get some help?
with?
i need help running the event
What host?
singleplayer on steam
I don’t know anything about the steam versions. Xbox unofficial I can help with nitrado host
o no its singleplayer
You can't on singleplayer, because the update was only for servers :/
yeah. if you have mods im planning to mod it lol
😭
just bc that's dumb that sp misses out for no reason. Just like the new years event being bugged, tbh
I mean, are you on steam?
yeah
In that case, I can help you with the mod (whenever it cooks) if you'd like
Fair enough 👍
@dapper rover @fervent frost thanks for helping me! Soon as I figure out where to put the ini I will have it lol. The vids are not super helpful as far as this specific info I need. Or at least so far.
@meager cobalt
This channel is for discussions about unofficial (or single player) server setups including mods and other relevant topics. You can find recruitment or server ad channels under the #bulletin-board-rules channel.
Has anyone on playstation with a nitrado server got the event running?
@fervent frost @floral warren I am changing the rates through my game.ini files I believe
Which configs are you adding/editing specifically (exact lines), to which file specifically (game/GUS), under what header?
I’m sorry if its already been asked, but is there a way to run the birthday event on Nitrado Servers? Usually we have a drop down window for the events. Will the BIRTHDAY theme work for this event? Or can I add some code i. The expert settings to run it? (Xbox and windows version)
If you run Beacon its in the events dropdown there. Makes it alot easier to enable.
BIRTHDAY is not the same event. You will have to either enable it via Beacon or add the -activeevent=Ark7th to the startup ini line like it mentions in the announcement
Where can I find the startup line at Nitrado?
Search "ark how to enable events on server" and there are several sites and videos that explain this.
What does engine settings do
Changes the settings of the server
Engine settings handles engine parameters, if you don't know what it does, you probably don't want to edit it jaja
Where do i find startup ini line?
Search "ark how to enable events on server" and there are several sites and videos that explain this.
does the entire server go into stasis is nobody is on?
Has anyone gotten the 7th Anniversary to work on Nitrado Steam servers yet?
Can you point to one that works for nitrado?
Jay Cartere on YT, just not his website itself since its not worth it. NinjaKiller's stuff is more helpful.
The engine file is available in Nitrado, as an option in expert settings
Cant send links in here, if you google you will find info on how to change events.
If i have my server set to PVE with ORP will alliances work or does ORP have to be fully off? I cant remember if it works for PVE
Does anyone know how to fix the light settings on Lost Island so the whole screen doesn't go black when you enter a cold zone (day and night)?
This is on Steam single player.
Didn't use to happen at the start but even the wyvern trench is so dark you have to gamma up high to see anything and as soon as you fly a bit above it still goes super dark even with gamma up.
@sinful swift look in #800537518843756544 or post a specific lfg in #735196255483068497, this channel is intended for server setup help, not finding servers.
so enabled the ark7th code under events in beacon but im only getting the event colored dinos none of the toher stuff. any fix for this?
nitrado hosting
@floral warren can you dm me?
I had loads of flyers. 3 lightning bastards wiped them out. Hard to sneak in when ya got 10 flyers on your ass
Also, please just dm me, I have to scroll to find your replies 😓 cuz they get buried
Well tbf, this channel is intended for setup help, not discussions for other ingame help.
Considering the fact this channel is literally unofficial-discussion, I and many others can talk about whatever we want in this one. Regardless of whatever help it may be or is needed. I asked, psycho answered. Deal with it
Sorry-not-sorry 🤷🏻♂️
I was telling you why your discussion was being buried. Please check the channel topic. No need to get upset or rude.
Not upset or rude; just cranky and tired. You’d be too if you worked 5 nights in a row.
Don’t you dare make a Freddie’s joke. I’ve been hearing them all week 😩
I’ve also asked several times for people to dm answers since the wiki is down
I can’t google a darn thing
I wasnt planning on it, I was attempting to tell you why you discussion was being buried.
The official wiki should be working, are you using the correct wiki? https://ark.wiki.gg
The #1 and Official wiki source of information for ARK: Survival Evolved, the dinosaur survival game from Studio Wildcard! Check out guides, summaries and look for more information coming soon!
I have no idea, hang on
Okay, it said my message was deleted because it contained links that were not allowed, I’ll tray again
Odd the new wiki is white listed
Scratch that, I can’t post screen shots 👍🏼
Yo I have a Nitrado Steam server, how do I activate the event?
Where do I put the new parameters?
Does the event work with singleplayer? I'm thinking it doesn't, but maybe I'm doing it wrong :x
How do you enable stadia cross play with a self hosted server? I am struggling to get it to run right.
I would prefer to use docker but am willing to use windows or anything else if needed
It does not.
Yes, look in the patch notes channel for your platform
Dang. Thanks tho!
We have googled it. From what i can find nitrado does not give access to the start parameters and the “active event” option doesnt list this event. If you have information that would help i would appreciate a DM
I should make videos. I'd make cash lol. I send a DM.
I would love some info too, as I don't know where to put evenf parameters when doing FTP on my server
I have my servers through nitrado as well was wondering if for current event do we set it as current official event or birthday for server event so my servers can participate
I don't know what to think about the announcement thst players should uninstall the Fjordur mod version prior to DLC download.
I wanted to keep the mod map, Nekatus promised that it will still be continued. But now I'm very concerned if WC will mess it up.
You can probably keep the mod map as long as you don't install the official, that might mess it up, but im not totally sure.
@lost lance #bobs-with-probs or #ark-survival-ascended, this channel is for server setup help.
"Probably" is not a good answer if you run a long time server and have the mod map installed since mod release...
No problem as far as my server is concerned. But what if some Ark update patches dlc fjordur data to the mod map cuz they never learned to separate things properly? We all know what happened with S+ and homestead. What about the players who also play on official?
Nope, SP wasn’t updated 😒
Try a high lv Griffin pump health into it. Get in and out quick
I’m on scorched earth; no griffins
Does anyone know of a decent server pve during the week and pvp weekends
Nothing instant tame and no over the top boosted stats
If anyone has such a thing please let me know
Alpha kingdoms
Dm me
on valguero ab zone, does megalosaurus get constant daytime buff like on aberration?
Is the current anniversary event working on Nitrado servers, and is there something I have to do to enable it, or will just using current official event work?
Or rather, where do I add -activeevent=ark7th in Nitrado?
Can u send me the dm too?
Done.
send you a dm
Sent a dm.
@wise kindle can you please send me a dm as well on how to activate the event, greatly appreciate it.
done
I dont believe so, they appear to sleep during the day like other maps.
Is there a way to activate the event without going into expert mode?
Do you have to enter expert mode ?
Unless you have a program like Beacon or can edit your GUS.ini another way. You just need to add that line into the correct spot.
sent a dm hope it helps cuz I know ya'll dont have Beacon to help ya out there.
Thanks :)
Build a few turrets with loads of ammo at the top of the trench to shoot any incoming wyverns
Pinning the Beacon App link here, in case anyone needs it, since it is directly for server setup.
https://usebeacon.app/
does anyone know a way to set up a server that me and my friends can play on whenever we want without needing a certain person to be online?
because i have tried a couple ways but i think im either stupid or they just dont work anymore
Likely need to pay for one to be hosted at like Nitrado or gPortal.
For Xbox nitrado is the one
ah ok thanks
also im assuming it works the same for the pc abox app version of the game right?
I don't know how nitrado works to be fair, I have never used it jaja
But it makes an unofficial server, that you can join
nitrado seems to not work with the xbox app pc version. is there another server hosting site i could use?
It should. It's the only host available for Microsoft ark.
have you enabled crossplay setting?
oh maybe ive chosen the wrong settings for it then
just rolled out of bed
where would i find this setting?
in the general section
Yes but you're much better at the nitrado stuff 
i have tried searching cross and crossplay but the only things it comes up with is cross hairs and the platform option
the only server type I know of that does not have crossplay is ps4 and mobile
Steam and xbox servers should have it located there
would i be able to join a steam server on the xbox pc version of the game?
if so ill change the platform to steam and try again
Steam can not play with xbox
yeh i didnt think that would work but it was worth asking just incase
none of these options seem to work for the xbox app pc version of ark :/
the game types are ps4 mobile and pc
and then on the pc one there are some options
You on xbox or pc at the moment
Need to open the ms store on pc
buy the server
then you edit it via the website
would you mind if i dm you so that i can send images?
because i want to make sure i get it right this time lol
I have opened my dms for a bit
ah ok thanks
anyone know what the command is for spawning in items?
@wise kindle I hate to ask but can u do me as well. I have been trying to activate since yesterday and I can NOT find a video or anything giving me the info I am looking for.
send a dm
What does npcoffsets do?
They target the snakes and scorpions; that didn’t work
Please move this conversation to another channel or dms, this channel is for server setup help.
Further off topic comments will be removed. Thanks.
If anyone knows.
I didn’t know this was here; that one might need to be googled. There’s no npcs, unless the Dino’s count
It is for the dinos.
Yea but what does it do lol
Well I am attempting to leave the question here at the end, in case someone does know.
.
Want to post the code?
Sure
Case #24526 @wise granite has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting a unauthorised Discord invite link
it doesnt let me send the file
Are you sending 1 single code or what?
Don't send a file lol
NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=84451.539,Y=-329996.563,Z=-1687.440) here
.
This from beacon?
I see
Well the code is from beacon as that is how I made it haha
basically the offset helps the creature you add, act as if it was a natural spawn. Ie said of seeing maybe 1 or 2, this will spread them across the spawn areas
General adding a creature just tells it to spawn but does not allow it to naturally spawn
yea what im trying to do is make a dino spawn at a specific spot lol
What?
well i want to create my own entries for spawns lol
if only playstation had mod support lol
To add onto my point, those boxes are all the locations where the creature you add could spawn
That is the badlands spawn btw for scorched
so there would be no way to add fish and aberrant otters to lost island abb zone?
without mods
There is only 1 spawn for the Ab cave
excluding the ferox spawns
it does not have water so, those fish auto die
damn
Uh, this isn't a recruitment channel, it is for helping people with server configuration. If you are looking for a server go to #800537627752398899 or #735196255483068497
Anyway to customize or add items to the hlna shop? - Nitrado server
No sadly
Well WC should add more options for servers lol
Ty
Compared to a year ago, we have a lot more options for servers @late surge
We need more
Best to put in a game suggestion then
My answer! Simple spawners with the "id spawners "23456"" and rename it so its easy to find. I find this works exceptionally well, i use this to get past the overspawn that "Ark additions" creates, its tedious and if not done well it creates long loading but it works wonderful and i have 100 nodes across a map i do. it lets the dinos spawn in pods. If i place 5 idspawners on the ground and tell it to spawn 25 creatures then 5 pods of 5 is what i get and its not game breaking and i can do this for every region i create.
and if they are non agressive to each other you can get a mix of dinos in each spawner too!
If you looking for folks to play with check #735196267373920286. This channel is for folks getting help editing there server settings for Single player or there servers
Tried that
And nothing
Got to give folks time to respond
Unfortunately, Madsun is not on Steam, so they are unable to use mods. You are correct though that SS saves a lot of time when setting up spawns.
Is anyone else having issues with the event dinos spawning on their nitrado servers? I have it set to active official event and I have restarted and dino wiped multiple times
I wanted to check here before submitting a bug report
can do this with vanilla ini without breaking other mods too tbf
You have to add activeevent=Ark7th under [serversettings] in you GUI.ini file. If you need help dm me.
hey everyone, i have been having an issue and i would like to get some tips to fix it, its really quick, i have been trying to tame an acro but it keeps dying from the damage i deal, i even tried just using arrows but they keep dying, any suggestions? i have lost 5 acros already due to this 😦
Using arrows? Don't you need to shoot them with bullets or something to that effect?
thats what the tutorials say but i have tried shotguns, simple rifles and even bows, everything kills them
i have no idea what im doing wrong
my nitrado server hasnt updated to latest ark version
and other players can't connect
anyone know whats might be wrong? nitrado says updates should be automatic
when i go on to collect a bush i only get fiber does anyone know how to fix this?
Turn off optimized harvesting, if it's on.
is it use optimized harvesting health?
The bottom one
its still the same
do u know anything else i can do
i can send u the settings i i have on
No idea if that's not it, just wait around here and someone will likely ping you if they know
did you stop, change and save the settings and then restart and let the settings take effect?
Cuz live updates dont work too well.
Why does it take so long for my mods to load like 1 to 5 hours
underpowered pc for the shitloads of overhauls and/or decor mods, probably
It usually takes like 1 minute
That is, your modlist is probably too bloated with massive mods- Overhauls or decor mods- for your pc's hardware
Oh
Solution is to get rid of the bloat. First thing- If there's multiple overhauls, can all but 1. They don't stack well anyway so there's really no benefit to more than one anyway
Overhauls are things like primal fear, omega, ark eternal
Things like Additional Creatures are a bit more vanilla but also huge
And decors are decorations, pretty much anything adding new visual assets
What do you mean by overhauls
Oh
Wait yeah I have all them
Downloaded
But I need them to play a server
Trying to join the server takes an hour?
you dont need to play with all downloaded mods
I mean it does even load the first mod in 30 minutes
It used to take like. 1 minute to load all
All would be loaded in 1 minute
Ah I thought you meant 1min without mods. Try the full mod reinstall (instructions pinned in this channel)
Also validating is stuck at 0 percent
Hmmm.. potentially deeper troubles. Get windows to scan and potentially try fix the drive
'just' as in 'right before the issue started'?
Might have been faulty, or, particularly if you do mean an hdd, you could have bumped it or something very easily
Also, if youre swicthing from an HDD to SSD and exaggerating the actual time it takes to load.. yeah, hdds are slow as fuck
hey does anyone know how to activate the new event?
singelplayer? server?
server on steam
Host?
i know is it the game or user one?
GUS
do you have the coding?
i may not have it in right then cause its in game user settings
ActiveEvent=ark7th
i think mine is different ill try that 😄 thank you
So I don’t think that worked. I’m not seeing any colored Dino’s
Did you dinowipe?
probably down to however your host works then, can't help, sorry
Case #24568 @minor river has been muted for 1 hour.

I ain’t have enough space for the dlcs tho
I’m uninstalling it but it’s stuck on uninstalling
My friends are having a huge issue with S+ Generators. They don't seem to be powering any structures. Yes, the generators are powered. Yes, the generators are on. Yes, the generators are connected to cables. Yes, the cables are yellow. Yes, the structures themselves are S+. I don't know what the issue is either.
Apparently, if the generator powers stuff in a medium distance away from it. I don't get it.
So i'm currently playing with the Primal Fear mod on Crystal Isles and no vanilla or primal fear wyverns are spawning except the 3 crystal variants, is there anything I can do to solve this? The internet doesn't seem to know 😦
do the cables have outlets on them?
@fluid hound #bobs-with-probs or #ark-survival-ascended, this channel is for server setup help.
Oh, crap I thought I was on that one. My bad. >_<
Yes.
What are they trying to power?
A fabricator and some air conditioners
have you gone into the fabricator/air conditioner and turned it on as well?
does someone have a fix to failed to install mod map i did everything
could you add a bit more detail?
like i reset my hole pc for this problem and still doesn't work. i have a group of friends that play on 1 server the map is ''the island'' the have a few mods
-Meat Spoiler
-Auto Engrams!
-Dino Pick Up Mod - v1.4 (Open Source)
-MRRadTools.INC Content Pack
-HG Stacking Mod 5000-90 V316
-Classic Flyers
-Structures Plus (S+)
-Awesome SpyGlass!|
everyone on the server can easily join but me i cant everytime i join i get a message that is saying "failed installing mod map" i tried every method like
- Delete mods and download again
- Virus scan
-update computer - and now also reset the pc
do you have lost island installed?
fixed?
nope installed it stil doesnt
At this point i just don’t know what to do anymore
install lost island and join the server on lost island
try launching a single player on lost island to see if it's the server or your map file
i wil try
but the serve is the island
lost island works on singleplayer
Did you delete mods from both folders?
There's 2 folders you need to delete to uninstall mods. if you don't know, you didn't do it, so.. Check pins and follow thatr
this is the one i found
steamlibrary - steamapps - common - ark - schootergame - content - mods
whats the other one
check pins
what pinned message is it can you maby do call to help me
The pin that directs you how to reinstall mods. No, i cannot call.
i see np
full or normal
Full
oke
@floral warren i did everything but its says re subscribe but is it oke if ark downloads it at the server when i join
Yeah thats finwe
oke so i can start up now and try to join again
still failed to install mod map @floral warren
Hey y’all can I ask a question about ark mods in here?
fixed it there was a broken mod on server
anyone know if there is an item in s+ called a transmutator or did it get removed
There's an s+ mutator
on some of the wikis it says some functions were moved from s+ mutator to s+transmutator
They added a new item and I didn't know
so is the function to zombify wyverns gone
If its no longer in either the mutator or transmutator, then probably.
I’m hosting an ark Xbox server through nitrado, my friend on Xbox can join but me on windows 10 can’t?
Make sure it is crossplay enabled in the nitrado settings.

AND you need to be using the MS Store version of Ark, not the steam or epic version
They know.
Swamp, you didn't have the xbox role so I went ahead and added it so people could see your platforms if you needed help further.
Thanks
So I’m trying to join somebody with mods on, and whenever I get to the loading of “snapshot 15” the game times out. Any ideas on how to fix?
Reinstall mod
yo im making an ark server and i want to make the smelting time faster
i got told do it through s+ but i dont know how can someone help me?
how to join a server via IP?
The easiest way would be to add it as a favorite on steam and then join @full ether
I'm trying to make a LAN server, which I'm pretty sure is "run dedicated server", whenever I try to launch it I get stuck on some Command Prompt loading thing
If we put some event settings for our host server, it will change our rates settings? or just add skins?
Event rates aren't automatic no
However skins may or may not work, colours are the only thing that works reliably
guys whenever my friend or i try to join each other's non dedicated servers it says unknown error (pc - epic games) any fixes?
i wanted to set all structures to dacay at 21 days of a tribes inactivity anyone know the best way to do this?
This channel is for server setup help, please move other conversations to another channel
Not sure where to ask this but what do you do when falling through the ground on PS4 after logging into an unofficial Ark server? Just logged out amd reset the server but a bit unsure if it'll work since unlogged immediately in the void. Map: Ragnarok
If you have command access? Command Fly
Or you can swim to the shore
Veeeery slow though so if you don’t have shit on you dying is faster
Though I got TPed up when I fell through last after a couple seconds
Hey all, I just turned off the 7th Birthday event on my servers, rebooted, etc, but the maturation etcsettings are staying the same? I tried editing my game.ini file with no luck
No command access, thankfully the reset worked. I've noticed there have been a lotta problems with console connections though, keeping down detector open to see what other players report
Okay so we can open player shops on this server I’m in and I want to open one but there has to be a theme and atleast 10dinos or items and I have no idea what the theme should be
Pls help
If I have PvP enabled but friendly fire disabled, will I be able to attack unclaimed baby dinosaurs?
My crystal isles server is up to date, but we cannot transfer into it or out of it
My friend is getting the error: Failed. Was unable to upload character for transfer, please try again later
And when I tried transferring to the map, it gave me a similar error except it said unable to DOWNLOAD character
I’m having this exact issue on steam unofficial.
I’m guessing it has to do with transfers being h*cked up earlier
The rates are independent from the colours spawning I believe. You can adjust the rates to match the event if you want, though!
Does anyone know of a good non-modded server that supports epic games? I've been tryna find one for a while but everyone uses mods
I submitted a support ticket and got a response fast! @rancid willow
They fixed my server somehow idk what they did internally but I appreciate it alot especially since I needed help pretty late at night
Anyone got a good server I can play on (steam)
Hey thanks, so we were running custom rates on our server, then we decided to check out the birthday bash and ran the -activeevent=ark7th code in the command line. Once we did that, it changed our custom rates to match that of the event so we decided to turn the event off, but the event taming rates have stuck around. I have no clue what to do. I've even went so far as to rebuild my game.ini file
Thank you, if the issue persists I’ll likely submit a ticket as well!
If I have PvP enabled but friendly fire disabled, will I be able to attack unclaimed baby dinosaurs?
plz help
so i was in sp building a church then power went out
when i came back to the game i was signed out and my main character was sleeping
any ideas how i can retake that player profile?
There’s a backup player file iirc
Localplayer something .bak? In the folder for the map
But that may have been overridden
You want to make regular backups of the whole Saved folder in future
Assuming none of the auto backups work, you can use the TakeAll commands to try get your shit back on the new character
Anyone ever run into the issue where you throw a cryo at a turret and the creature just disappears? Doesn’t even die it’s just gone?
Good morning everyone! I have a question I’m hoping someone can help me with. My husband and I host our own dedicated server on an extra PC we have. When I am at home I have no trouble connecting to the server by showing only servers on my LAN. But when I travel for work I’d like to be able to play in my hotel room at night on my gaming laptop but the server doesn’t show up anywhere that I can find when not on my LAN. Any advice?
try to join my server I have mods you can see if maybe his selection of mods are the problem
that is a port forwarding issue. Some internet service providers also have a new way to port forward
I could not get port forwarding to work with comcast, no matter what
I have to use "DMZ zone" and designated my server IP (which as a static IP address) as the demilitarized device
which might be an accurate description if my server ever gets popular
I can help you fix it please @ me or dm me
Thanks! This week is insane but I will DM you as soon as I have the time to fiddle with it.
How do I disable cryosickness on pvp singleplayer? These are the settings I have
EnableCryopodNerf=True
CryopodNerfDuration=0
CryopodNerfDamageMult=1.0
You can not disable cyrosickness on pvp. Only pve @drowsy carbon
what is the setting for?
I do not know it off the top of my head sorry. Will have to check on my break and I can find out.
The wiki said "If true, there is no Cryopod cooldown timer, and creatures do not become unconscious." I think it just might not work
cryopod nerf is for the PvP cryo sickness extra stuff no? where they take more damage when let out.
This is the description of cryopod nerf
they have the duration set to 0 so it should disable it, not sure if it actually works tho 🤷what I said is what its supposed to do :P
see these
the duration says it defaults to 10 tho, so it shouldn't disable when just true 
EnableCryoSicknessPVE=false
belongs in the gameusersetting.ini
But will only work for PVE
I should see if that actually allows no cryo on PvP 
Already tried
still get sickness
The settings he mentioned above reduce its impact
im not sure if it even reduced it I still get 300 seconds of cryosickness
timer does not change
I'm gonna mess around with it 
but like the 10x damage can be removed
ok thanks guys
if you just turn the cryo nerf off that will go away anyway tho
yea thats what I am on about
I am not sure of what mod it is but there is one that removes cryo on pvp
should just use dino storage at that point anyway
its way better than cryos if you adding mods.
can confirm the description is wrong. setting the duration to 0 and just enabling the nerf does not stop cryosickness :P

Hi, I’m currently running a PlayStation Cluster on Nitrado and was wondering if anyone knew of a site or program that would allow me to broadcast messages to the cluster.
anyone able to help with nitrado code? i only need 1 thing wont take long
should say what you need. can also just look at the wiki https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
I have a problem with reducing the crafting requirements of cryofridges in the expert settings of my nitrado server. When I try and put the code in going off the recommended websites for getting this type of code, I get the following output of the crafting cost not changing and as I expected it to. I was wondering if anyone here has a potential solution or another code i could try and use?
Thank you
You placing the code in the game.ini?
Well if the code is correctly placed and made it will work
Hmm, maybe the code is wrong… would anyone here have the right code?
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemStructure_CryoFridge_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))
That’s the code I’m using it says it should work however it’s not.
Is that the correct code?
Interesting
Should the ‘code’ be in a certain line? E.g. 167 or something like that
As long as it is below the right header it should work
They really should use json for that type of edit lol, here is to hoping ark2 uses json configs jaja
Nah does not need to be on a certain line at all
Bamboozled
Is it possible that if another line of code for the cryofridges crafting requirements which is not the same as this one ^, could it be interfering? If that makes sense
Yea if there are 2 codes for the cryofridge Ark will choose one of them
The other dismissed
Yeah, I still haven't figured out how their parser works yet lol
Okay so I put the code you asked me to send in the chat to the top of my Game.ini and restarted my sever that somehow has changed things and it has now worked meaning there must’ve been 2 lines which were interfering with each other I guess whatever line is on top takes priority. Thanks guys for your help, I would’ve been left absolutely clueless without your suggestions and making sure the code was correct. Appreciate it
Are you coding your server by hand or are you using an application to help?
I use an application called Beacon, there is the free and the paid one (the paid one is legit a 1 time $15 fee) It use it all the time and never had an issue with any code https://usebeacon.app/
Beacon is Ark's easiest server manager that can update and control your Xbox, PS4, and PC Ark servers with a couple clicks.
If you get it, I recommend importing all your code into it. Beacon will go through it and make sure it is error free and everything
Can download the free one and give it a shot
Will do. Sounds good.
Does anybody here know the line of code I need to use to alter the drag weight on a dino? I cannot for the life of me find it on google
Far as I am aware only way to edit it is via mods on steam otherwise it is hardcoded
This didn't work, but there's nothing similar to this that would potentially do it?
DinoClassDragWeightMultipliers=(ClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.5)
Never in my 5 years of coding have I see this DinoClassDragWeightMultipliers=(ClassName="Gigant_Character_BP_C",Multiplier=0.5). Where did you find it?
Some back woods message board. I didn't figure it would work, but it's similar to DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="Dragon_Character_BP_Boss_Hard_C",Multiplier=0.3)
Searching “Drag” on the wiki config page gets nothing, so I doubt theres a config that can alter drag weight
If there was I assume it be all over google
considering so many folks want to change it
yeah 😦 guess i'm just hopeful hah
The best you can do with bringing creatures like that into battles is just spawning them in
but they will die after the battle
gotcha, alright. Thanks for the help guys! I also had no idea the wiki had a config page, I've been learning from the .ini output from Beacon. So thank you for that
Generally speaking if it is not listed on beacon, then it does not exist
Just in case https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
Beacon far as I am aware has all the current edits one can do on a server, well at least console server
As far as vanilla configs, it should
yea
Here's another question then. What about limiting what bosses can be spawned at what obelisks. I swear that was an optional thing at one point. Is the "Crafting Inventory" of the terminals hardcoded as well? Or could I potentially treat those as loot drops
loot drops in terms of changing what they hold
You can change the crafting cost but not limit what can be spawned
Gotcha, okay. I figured, that's been another thorn in my side
Take Island make for example, all 3 bosses can be activated at any terminal. If you disabled the dragon, it would disable it for all Obelisks
Yeah, I figured as much. Doing a roleplay server and trying to limit what boss is activated where, and short of it requiring a tribute that is only available at the ob, I'm not sure how to do it. I'll have to find some silly work around
The cost thing is not per ob either btw
Using the dragon example, if you made it 1 fiber. it be the same at all 3 terminals
Stuff you are after is what can be done with mods on steam
No I know, I mean like, place one off-server artifact like shadows in the blue ob terminal, and make that a required piece for that boss fight, but it still only barely accomplishes what I'm doing
Yeah, unfortunately it's crossplay xbox, I've been looking at the mods a lot though, might not be too late to switch..
Is anyone familiar with taming certain creatures in the following mods off the workshop: Dragons Evolved, Additional Creatures 2, wild ark & ancient dragons and wyverns? I need help with figuring out how to tame some of these things. DM me if you can
I have experience with ADW
anyone have a fix for the pod glitch on unofficial servers??? Unable to deploy: >>Failed to spawn<<
funny how soon as wildcard bricks ark i cant unpod any dinos
Ps unofficial server status? Me and all my boyz can't find or join sessions
if I add reaper queens to my lost island server will I be able to get pregnant off them?
if they're able to spawn on there yes
so they are spawning but noone can get pregnant 😦
why?
so it appears the rockwell and R reapers work for pregnancy but the normal ones don't
how do they 'not work'
How would one change on nitrado settings how fast it takes to imprint
Like from 33 days to shorter?
2 settings, 1 is the mature multiplier, the second is the cuddle interval.
what is your mature rates?
soo does anyone know how to mutate 2 stats at once with S+ propagator?
i heard there is a way but i can't seem to figure out how
If anyone has played almost all ark maps and has played a while please message me
If it is about server configuration we can help here, if it is about looking for people to play with look up #735196255483068497
Can u help?
There is a possibility that I can. But if you post your question someone will be able to
Ok well I’ll ask you
So I’m deciding on making a new save and I played the island but it got so boring, I’ve been playing for 5 months so I’m not that good ( judging on why I play single player ) and I’m just looking for a awesome map with good creature verity, resource viability and overall amazing detail
I’m looking to play for a while on it not like 3 months then quit it
So you are looking for a map preference with settings preferences?
I would put 2 or 3x harvest, you can boost xp. Would boost breeding by a bit if you dont use the singleplayer preference. Since you are on steam I would recomment using dino storage and s+
Gen2 has most creature and resource variety but the quality isn’t very good, li would be more balanced for that
Fjordur probably has the most out of all tho, so you might just want to wait a couple days til it comes out
I have those mods
How long?
For a map, lost island is a good one, a lot of people like ragnarok. If you wait until sunday, fjordur will be new and will be probably one of the best maps ever made
Aberration is also really good
For settings what raq said is pretty good
Altho I would personally boost breeding more than just a little bit, its very annoying to wait that long
And yes fjordur on Sunday 10 am pdt
I think 10x breeding and 0.12 imprint interval is good for singleplayer. Otherwise there isnt much that you really have to change for it to be fun
I use like
200x breeding
I don’t necessarily recommend that but for me personally I can’t stand waiting for breeding so I boost it a ton
Well, singleplayer breeding is already like 10x normal times I am pretty sure\
Unless I am mistaken, in which case put breeding to at least 50\
Well thats if you use sp settings
Which I highly un-recommend
Yeah, if you want to spend longer yeah.
10 times hatch, 37 times mature. according to the wiki :P
oh and .125 mating interval 
Awesome, I never knew the actual numbers lol
why is it 36.799 tho 😂
They probably use a pretty weird algorithm to find that number
that would make sense, for the cuddle/imprint stuff
There is probably some hidden number or something that messes everything up
with imprinting its chosen by mature rate and cuddle interval. as well as the dino itself. then there is the new multiplier they added but thats ini only
actually it doesn't even work properly
since cuddle timer is only 6x faster while maturation is 37x faster
should still be able to get 100%
I shall check :P
I'm 90% sure you can't
though sp settings bad anyway
go manually change rates like a true chad
you can for some things
one sec
well yeah obviously not broken for ALL dinos
but with things like imprint if it doesn't work for even a few dinos then it's not good enough
by some I mean the biggest of dinos lol its really bad
big sad for Singleplayer settings smh
manually change rates like a chad B)
speaking of, such a shame that so many ini configs aren't properly available to console
yeah, thats why I hosted a server on win10 and joined on xbox 😂 being able to use ini (and minimalizing crashes) helps a ton
also backups.
love it so much :P didn't even lose my save ever 😂 just having it helps so much with worrying about it
hopefully some day they'll add a way to properly backup on console
check server advertisement channel, this isn't it
hi for some reason im getting a glitch on gen 1 and all the lunar biome floors and mountains etc wont load and the textures r rlly glitched

Hey, Im playing on a cluster server but when im trying to transfer to another map by obe or by trasmitter it doesnt show any of the other maps on the list. Any idea? Apparently im the only one on that server having this issue
okay, so how the f*ck do I beat alpha downriver run
Any rp server info for a group of friends we looking for new place to play
If we swap our map from Gen 2 to fjordur, when we swap it back to gen 2 will our mission progress be saved?
What website is best to rent a server for crossplay Xbox/windows world. I'm not looking for anything fancy like cluster worlds, jsut something my friends and I can play on our own.
nitrado is the only option win10/xbox has besides hosting one yourself on a second PC/xbox
it will work for both xbox and pc
you need to use the nitrado app on xbox or the microsoft store
can I not just go to the website
not to buy an xbox/win10 server 🤷
I believe you can use the website to change settings after you bought it tho 
does everyone need to have the app
CrossArk-compatible is what im looking for
as long as you are on win10(microsoft store/gamepass) or xbox you can crossplay. nitrado does have an option for it I believe.
Hey anyone good with Gportal servers for ps4 need help with finding out how to turn off restricted build zones like button cave on val
If some one can dm more or something maybe get into a voice call?
@cinder valley #bobs-with-probs or #ark-survival-ascended
I just fended of a massive raid and now my stuff glitched and my tek armor and behemoth backup gate vanished any idea on how to get back?
Imagine if Fjordur came with all of its modded items 🤧
Yo if anyone is trying to Run a server on ps4 Let me know i can help
Anyone have any details about what Fjordur will be for commandline arguments?
Sadly we know nothing as nothing has being announced but give it like a few hrs after the map drop for people to be posting content about it like no tomorrow

anyone know what the mapname for the new map will be once it goes official? Will it be staying Viking_P or going to something new? Trying to get my configs setup before crunch time
don't think we know yet, will find out when it comes out. should be before unofficials get the update
as they get it later than officials/client
cool, thx. there goes my Sunday lol 😄
should be announced here when it happens 
And Monday
@tired vessel The Map name will be "Fjordur". It was in the Community Crunch #319
I've been doing the same thing- setting up configs lol
Hey, Im playing on a cluster server but when im trying to transfer to another map (from The Island map) by obe or by trasmitter it doesnt show any of the other maps on the list. Any idea? (I have all the dlcs)
I also want to know coz like rag and and those maps also start with map_P
can I just inventory my cryopods abd change my map to fjordor on my servers or nah? Just me and my bf play on it but we don’t wanna lose our wyverns
Did you sync your servers in the settings on the server host site? Idk what platform you’re using but there should be an option for like “custom cluster code” or something and they all have to be the same on every map setting.
Dm me with any questions, I’m happy to help and we’ll versed with gportal. it should be in the “basic settings” and called “enable cave building” or something along those lines.
ARE YOU READY - ?
👉 Please ensure to uninstall the Fjordur mod from the Steam Workshop prior to downloading Fjordur (if you already have the mod installed)
Map Name: Fjordur
👉 Please ensure to wipe any servers that were previously hosting the Fjordur map as it has undergone significant changes that will impact the world.
Ok
quick question, i have the winterwonderland event active on my solo , but theres only the colors and no gachas,raptor claus or snow everywhere any suggestions?
You'd need a mod. the assets were removed from vanilla
The snow wasn't even present in the last occurrence either iirc. A shame, it was nice to have a different feel on the old maps
ahh i only play solo on my series x so idk how to add mods on the xbox lol
hello everyone, every time i try to join a server with mods i keep crashing? i have reinstalled the game and all mods. My game just crashes. Any help? Thanks
Hey everyone, I'm trying to setup a server on a ubuntu machine, and in theory I did every thing right (port forwarded, steamcmd, packages) and got the server running but still cannot connect to it. I'm trying to connect from the epic version of the game but I have -NoBattlEye -crossplay. Anything that I could have done wrong? Thanks
@floral warren every time i try to join a server with mods i keep crashing? i have reinstalled the game and all mods. My game just crashes. Any help? Thanks
Can you send the first few lines of the crash message?
There is no crash message, game just closes
The thing is that seems Im the only one who has this problem in that server (im not the owner). First time having this issue. Also, I can see the other maps on my ark open menu. Basically, I cant transfert cause I cant see other maps
Yes, all servers with mods
Hmm. When you reinstalled mods, did you delete the second mod folder?
There's 2 folders you need to delete, people often miss the second one
where do i find them?
If you didn't, check the pins- It tells you where it is
what pins
The pins section of the channel. Has a button that looks like 📌
the one by BaK?
Yep
alr will try, is it cool if i @ u if it dont work
Sure- But next thing I'd try is loading singleplayer
I tried loading singleplayer with the excact mods, works perfectly fine
Weird. Have you tried loading into an official server?
works just fine
didnt work @floral warren
How would one change how fast dinos heal in nitrado expert settings?
Def sounds like the maps aren’t properly connected with the transfer code, I’d let the server owner know just to be sure.
what do yall consider the best stack mod? im looking for one that has around 1k stacks with a very small amount of weight reduction
if you don't want a weight reduction you can just use the stack ini settings (in the pins) its completely custom but doesn't allow you to change the weight of objects
and this could be affect just only me on the whole server? Sounds strange
DinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier in gus
TY! i never knew that was even an option in ini
is it new? i havnt put up a server since gen2 came out
its been around for a while
can't remember when. it has the bonus of not changing item IDs tho, so won't have issues with that :P
the wiki doesn't list an update it was added so might have always been there 
If it’s only you that is because of the settings you have on the Home Screen, try making sure you have the proper settings selected. “All maps” “all modes” and whatever the type of map is, I assume “unofficial pc servers”
Is it corret if I say Fjordur_P ?
What's the best setting combo to get a full imprint for in the shortest amount of time, because I cant seem to figure out a good combination, I either make it so they grow up before any imprint or they only get like 5% at a time every 6 hours 😅
Just to be clear, as I wrote the first time, my issue is to trasfert between arks by obe in game (I cant see other maps from cluster). I can see all the maps from the cluster on my Ark home screen tho. Thats why seems strange to me
Yes and it may be the issue with the settings you have on your Home Screen. For example if one of the maps is pvp and you only have PVE selected it’s only gonna show PVE maps in your transfer screen unless you change the settings in your Home Screen.
Same goes with map types (I.e island only when you’re looking for gen 2 etc)
can someone kind help me out with a server on unnoficial i wanna make it 25x or more and unlimited weight and able to build everywhere but cant get it right
This is an unoffical pve cluster so it should show me all the maps from that cluster by obe/trasmitter (atleast it was like that since weeks ago). The only option I can change is password checkbox, wich is not the case cause all the maps (server if you want) from the cluster are without password. How I could see the maps of the cluster from my home screen list if I had something wrong selected?
Any server owners know how to get tribe name change cooldown setting to work? No matter what number I put in the cooldown ends up being 15 seconds
Does anyone know what I need to write in Map name on ark server manager to get it to fjordur?
anyone using nitrado? Is the map showing up for you guys?
Im hosting my own servers on my own hardware, there is no update for the dedicated server yet, it says
Success! App '376030' already up to date.
yeah when will the server update come out?
any info on when the server update will go live?
I use Nitrado, I was just coming here to ask the same thing. It's not showing up for me yet either 😢
we shall scream together
after reading for a bit it seems the dedicated server update is always release 1-2 hours later than the rest
maybe I should cook irl food and have a cup of tea
How dare this update say it’ll take 4 hours
this is going to be a very long slow evening
wait really?
it wasn't always like that, but the last few major updates have been... kinda frustrating
dont ask me why these clowns at wildcard are unable to schedule the dedicated server update for the same time
how the
did they do that, my server still says "app already up to date..."
if you check steamdb you see thats its not live
they are likely just preparing for the update
There were some private devbranches updated a hour ago so they may be cooking another update
yeah but why would you not do that in advance
🤷♀️
last minute bug fixes ofc this is ARK
My gportal is no longer showing that it needs to be updated or that there are updates available. Nitrado is normally slower though.
anyone see the map designator name yet ?
Fjordur they published it few days ago
I want my map haha
can you link it ?
I know 
Map name on Gportal is Fjördur
Ford Door
hold door
Hold da door
Why you gotta bring up painful memories 
oddly i can't get Fjordur to launch in single player or local
I could of used a "the boys" reference, but that would lead to a permanent ban 🤣
Fjördur is now on the store page
Another update just dropped for me 6gb, client side
server patch hasn't been deployed, it appears they are holding it or maybe pushing another update.
The update hasn't been released to unofficials yet.
gportal has the update
.. sad
complexminded is typing in annoucements channel
Another weak trailer
yup, a fancy way to tell us it has been delayed 😄
starting and stopping my unofficials, still not getting new patch version..
same, no luck yet
Does anyone know why fjordur isnt showing up on nitrado?
steam DB, linux server last updated 8 days ago. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
On my ASM dont work yet
just like every distribution it's up to the actual distribution network to first validate the package before making it public
Hence, the wait time. So it's not on wild card as to the actual when it releases to the unofficial network. So, just wait it out or if you want to be a hawk about it you can constantly click refresh on the unofficial repository. Or i'll use my standard response, watch some anime and let the autoupdater handle it. ☕
@sleek plover look for servers in #800537680784916501 , this channel is intended for server setups and singleplayer setup help.
Thanks sorry
anyone able to help me with a problem i have with non-dedicated servers in ark?
My server just started an update!
server update is live
host?
private host
AA
Well I would play Ford Door but my dedicated server won't update 
Oh wait, it is updating now!!!
Update state (0x61) downloading, progress: 63.48 (3829978992 / 6033070488)
yeah our server just started an update so I think unofficial is out
2/3 have started an update! yey
has wildcard released the server side of fjordur yet?
Nitrado is making me cry too 😢
anyone on ps4/5 having no sessions found on their list?
Yup. No sessions found. Only a few have been coming up
I realised it’s bcos my gportal server hasn’t updated yet so I’m waiting for that
I see lots of unoffical servers some with Fjordur, but mine still aren't updating 😦
Any way to force update gportal servers?
No idea, mine is Nitrado but I think I just have to wait until they finsh having their supper and a dance and then come back to work
hmm whats the map name actually for Ford Door?
I tried fjordur but that doesnt seem to work
someone said it has the 2 dots over the o
fjördur
the folder is called FjordurOfficial
anyone know the map name to put in the startup line? i have just used Fjordur
it is Fjordur
Do we know if it's available for unofficial yet?
When is the nitrado update gonna be done?
idk, they are always slow, I ahve been with them for quite a few years and now I just watch something else and drink tea while I wait. No point thinking about it
Ok thanks
just buy a 3 day server on gportal and then pull the files
the way I know nitrado we'll be waiting another day since its sunday evening and noone works there sunday evenings lol
This is working flawlessly, I downloaded Ford Door and when I'm trying to transfer over, it is loading and then presenting me the Steam ARK DLC page with an already installed map...
What am I doing wrong here?
the map is installed and the DLC is subscribed.
steam is having issues, make sure the DLC section has a file size. if not it didn't download properly :P will need to wait
the most annoying part that is making really mad is that the game loads its primal game data, it loads all the MODs and then presenting me the store DLC page... how awful can a game be designed?
Can't see any Unofficial pc sessions on ps5..
unofficials need to update before you'll see them.
When is nitrado gonna work
Do you know if it is already available for asm?
Anyone see it on Nitrado yet?
Does anyone know what bosses are on Fjordur
Mine just started the update on Nitrado
Or what the supply crate drops are named
They don't have names?
so not everyone is getting it the same time?
cause i havent seen it the update yet
So appearently mine has the update, but I cant select fjordur?
the same thing happens to me, what version do you have?@hearty rock
Last game update
Jun 12, 2022, 9:17:44 PM
Finally my Nitrado ones are updating too \o/
Do you know what bosses are on there
Ayyy now its not starting properly
Whats the version number im looking for when updating? Currently on 346.11
Nitrado is getting an error when i load there site
theyre probably updating something or too many ppl are trying to access it
i got the same thing
I think mine finished updating on Nitrado, but when I tried to restart the servers I got the error 504 :D, gotta love new Ark releases 😄
I don't think anyone can open the web interface because everyone is trying to load it. Mine still says there's an update and my servers are down.
Mine updated and when I tried to change to Fjordur it didn’t show it as a map so I refreshed and now nitrados broken 😂
when did this game become free?
I heard it was today
whats the map name for unofficial servers? Viking_P or Fjordur?
I still can't load the page to change the server over to Fjordur /sigh
I just got in on nitrado a fjordur still isnt an option for me 😭
Aha chaos, uh.. Anyone have a time frame as to when Nitrado will be updated?
Fjordur or Fjördur
My Nitrado servers are updated but Fjordur hasn't shown up on the map list yet
same
Ty for the response, I'll have to wait and see
You're welcome and good luck!
is the map name Viking_P?
Fjordur or Fjördur
On gportal it's Fjördur, Yaka said Fjordur though for the file name I think.
@olive talon I think it's just going to be Fjordur. It would correctly have the umlaut over the o but it's ark I don't think it would work well in coding with that. I think it might be Fjordur on nitrado as well but because people are spamming refresh I can't access the interface.
Yeah I'd choose that one. It might just be how GPortal has it named
I'm still waiting for nitrado.
That's the only one available, there is no other map name for gportal, but I am unsure about nitrado.
Nitrado has a new map called 'Gateway time-out'
Yeah I think it's just how GPortal has it spelt and I can let you know how it's spelt on nitrado once I'm able to access the interface to change the map but people broke it.
I'll see if a friend is able to look
If everyone would be patient and stop hitting f5 or refresh it wouldn't have crashed. But unfortunately we don't have that luxury.
Well once he's able to check discord
HA!!! I give it a rating of 504
hahaha 🤣
I had a look around in single player to check if the mods still worked ok and to pass some time. I couldn't find the Titan terminals though 😢
@errant oak on Fjordur
yes on Fjordur, I went to where I was sure they were before but the cave was blocked to the forest one and no secret door for the desert one, unless they have been moved maybe
@errant oak are you on Xbox?
no, on PC
Ah ok, dollie said something broke like that on Xbox so they have to fix gen 2 and Fjordur
anyone hosting a dedicated server through steam?
doesnt seem like i can get the update to push through to the new version
I'm still sitting here on a broken nitrado screen. I was on for like 30s. Some people don't have patience so it breaks easier.
Same
i actually just compared version numbers from my server pc to my playing pc. both versions are the same 346.11. but server still wont start
@loud rapids are you using nitrado?
When’s the new map going up for unofficial
@loud rapids ah ok because nitrado had an issue yesterday and now because people just can't be patient it's currently broken.
@gentle lotus whenever people stop trying to force into nitrado to change their maps.
It’s up now
ah, ya no. I host it for my group of friends so i can control it being up or down lol
Nah
Anybody know why we keep falling from the sky and no animals are spawning
i cant even open setting for my servers
Nah? I’m on
@tardy wyvern me neither. I'm still on the 504 page. I was able to load the interface for roughly 30 seconds.
going to try to load my Lost Island server and see what happens
I guess we have to wait it out until the keyboard warriors chill a bit with the refresh
ya i have had the 504 page staring at me for awhile now haha
@tardy wyvern same here. People are being toxic and not patient so I guess we'll just have to wait. I'm going to get high in the meantime.
@cedar maple you're on steam tho it might be working properly on the PC version of ark not the Xbox/windows 10 version.
im running out of things to do in the meantime lol ive already fixed up my advertisement and discord waiting
I’m on ps5
anyone know if i can add the new map to a 10 slot server or is nitrado forcing a higher slot limit to add the new map?
@pearl breach I don't think their forcing a higher slot but I can't even log into the interface either.
So I couldn't tell you how nitrado is working right now.
I was the same, I tried to check it, thought my troubles were over because the page loaded, I selected Fjordur (at least it is there to choose), clicked 'save' and went back to 504, so I went to make more tea 😄
thanks for the reply, yea its same for me cant even open the site yet.
Is it just nitrado having that issue? I can open Gportal easily.
it seems to be 😦
also anyone know how to get the tribe name change cooldown to work?
the setting hasnt been working for me
@olive talon Yes nitrado is having a 504 gateway error because people are trying to load into it all at once so it broke nitrado. I don't think as many people use GPortal so it hasn't crashed yet. @pearl breach like I said we're probably going to have to wait until the key oard warriors go first because God forbid. And @tardy wyvern if you're using nitrado it will be in your game.ini settings
it was showing in the general setting though. So there is a second setting in the expert mode?
@tardy wyvern yes if you open your expert settings there should be something at the top that says gameusersettings.ini if you select that it should have a drop down and it has game.ini and engine.ini you'd want to go into game.ini and it's either in there or somewhere in the game settings.ini I'll have a better idea of where to look for it whenever I can access my interface
lol alright thanks! I will look also when I can finally get in
Still having the 504 issue. So @errant oak I made another latte
@tardy wyvern and you're welcome. I had to learn how to do alot of stuff in the last few months.
urrgghh, I was just thinking about trying again, seems like no point yet then
No 1st person, no $ for Ark2!
Nope not yet. I don't even get the interface at all. Just refresh to get another 504 page. 
maybe you need to see that page 504 times to be granted entry to the real page 😆
I am beginning to think I will have had 504 cups of tea before I can get it working
I think I would die if I had 504 lattes
haha quite possibly
Would simply explode.
i think i will go and do something productive for 15 mins and tidy the kitchen, then try again in abit
Yeah probably a good idea. Also I made the mistake of checking the general chat. It's scary in there.
i might go have a little look, I am sure that will pass 10 mins too
my page loaded, i was too scared to click on general to see if it had actually saved when i selected Fjordur earlier, so I have risked clicking restart. Now I just wait and see
guys how can i fix it when my friends try to join my non-dedicated it says ''connection timeout''
not really sure, do you have mods running? Asking them to download all the mods and letting them install when Ark loads up before trying to join you can help sometimes
Is Nitrado not working for some people as well?
No, it is being dumb for everyone unfortunately 😢
No. Nitrado isn't working. 
Dang alright well then at least it’s not just me
nope no mods
Although, it looks like my risk has paid off, it says server started, now to wait forever before it shows in the list, if it shows at all
My server is running it just can’t get onto the webpage to edit the settings :/
It wont even let me start mine from the dashboard lol
yeah, thats what has been happening to all of us 😦 I think I just got lucky that when i pressed restart it managed to do it
Hmm I wish I hadn’t bought this server I’d just find someone else’s to join at this point
@errant oak do you have any ideas on how to fix it or anyone to recommend me to ask?
I don't ahve any ideas sorry, I know if I try to join a friend who has internet that cna be dodgy it very often doesnt work, but if my feriend joins me it is fine. But for the most part I just use Nitrado.
what is nitrado?
a server rental place
Nitrado is Ark’s sponsored server rental but sometimes other rental sites are better we just don’t have much for Xbox users.
are there any who offer free hosting like in minecraft?
That’s why I mostly play on my pc they have more options
I have used Nitrado mostly but also used GPortal (for atlas) and GTX Gaming for an Empyrion server that had a big overhaul mod on it. GTX Gaming was by far the best but also the most expensive. GPortal I found to be ok too, but I just find Nitrado easier to navigate through the settings and files.
so im guessing there arent any free hostings?
Nitrado webinterface finally loaded
who would be dumb enough to host ARK servers for free? every server eats 7-14GB RAM
Not that I am aware of unless you are able to host it yourself. But I have no idea how that works and with the cost of electric these days it would probably cost me the same as monthly rental to keep my PC on all the time
Uhh wait why is it all in German?? Edit: nvm I’m just dumb
idk
yippee, I see my server in the list, shame it is like 11pm already though
@bright thunder @errant oak wait if i use the ark server manager will i be able to host it on my pc and be able to play?
Ya there is a lot to learn with this stuff lol but I dont have the 504 error anymore yay
I have no idea, I didn't think Ark Server Manager worked, I thought that broke a few years ago, but I could be very wrong seeing as I don't use it
Has anyone gotten it to work on ApexHosting?
last time I talked to Nitrado its over loaded from people renting new servers
you can run dedicated ARK servers on your own PC, yes. But remember, it eats a lot of RAM, so don't try to play ARK and have the server running at the same time when you don't have at least 32GB RAM
google "ARK dedicated server setup"
can't post links to the ARK wiki here, sooo
you can to the official one at https://ark.wiki.gg, you can't to the unofficial one
What's the difference between dedicated and non-dedicated
non-dedicateds allow you to host and play but have a tether (PC can extend but will still pull into caves, boss fights, load zones)
dedicateds are servers that either you host or rent. you can host and play on the same PC but it sometimes doesn't work, also needs to be port-forwarded to have others join from outside your local network.
Can me and my friends use an app (forgot it's name) where we can connect to the same IP or whatever it was and play?
might help. I've never tried using it 🤷 lan works fine tho
Does anyone use Ark Server Manager? I am trying to figure out how to add the new Fjordur release to my ASM cluster.
For whoever uses nitrado, you can boot up your server through the beacon app
Anyone having problem updating the server for new patch ?
Any new admin commands yet
spawn commands? https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Creature_IDs#Creatures_of_Fjordur
still nothing for nitrado ?
What difficulty offset for fordjur?
Im finding level 24 dinos and stuff isnt it supposed to be in incriments of 5
hello, does anyone know why my hands/arms are white in ark? like, pure white, only in first person? scrolled out i'm still tan
Any big, active small-tribe ORP clusters?
What is the beacon app?
Check pins for how to set it to 5 yourself
