Hey there. great Guide, thanks for that. i just got 1 question. is there a way that i can host the dedicated server while my pc ist shut down?
is there a command that can do auto-saves on the servers? I know there is a mod on ARK SA and it works on single player, but I am not sure if it will also work if I set it as a required mod.
Thank you for this, very helpful. I'm having the issue someone else did with running mods. Using -mods in the batch line is fine, but as soon as I do -mods=xxxx,xxxx,xxxx,xxx etc. it launches for a split second and then immediately closes. The window closes before I can see any kind of error message, am I to assume this is something that's wrong with one or more of the mods? All of them seem to work fine and load fine in game though, they're all installed and active with no problems. I saw you mention something about using CMD to navigate to the batch file to force it to stay open, but I'm not sure how to do that.
EDIT: Fixed my own issue, it was definitely a mod. My server list showed 25 mods running but in-game ark only showed 20. Clearly some were removed, and it still let me play single player / non dedicated, but trying to use those in hosting my own server was no bueno. All clear.
where do i find GameUserSettings.ini?? there not in the WIN64 folder
im unable to change the number of players. Still says "70" when I look up the server name. any ideas?
have they fixed the thing where you cant transfer INTO your own server from within the same network? Like, I used to have two servers that were clustered together running on my second pc. But if I went to an obelisk ingame to try and transfer between them I couldnt. others who were on the server (but not on my home network) could go back and forth
I only have gameusersetting.ini i do not have the game.ini file why is this?
The server does not generate the ini files until it is started, so if you cant find the files just start up the server and shut it back down.
Great video, to the point and helped fill in the gaps of understanding i had. Thankyou.
everytime i try to join the server its says there are required mods but doesnt show what they are and doesnt let me join
Does anyone have a fix for steam not creating the "saved" folder and the server not starting?
awesome video! having some trouble if anyone would be kind enough to lend a hand. i can start my dedicated server on my server PC just fine if i dont have the -mods=(modID) at the end. as soon as i put in the command line the server will start up for half a second and then the server window closes. i cant for the life of me figure out what is wrong. i used -mods=88808 with and without the quotes i get the same issue. thanks again!
thank you so much, i have been looking all day for this. i dont get why the algorithm does not display this first apon searching
do these serves cost money to make, because i just want to play with my friends without tether
Something to add here, if a mod gets removed by moderators/admins from the in-game downloads, you need to make sure to remove that mod from the mod list in your asa starter bat file or your server will be prevented from starting up. I had this issue and was so frustrated, just to save some people some time trying to find out why your server is suddenly no longer starting up.
Great info in this one but I was missing that in my server I don't have a Game.ini in my ASA windows server directory can I just copy the one from the original ark over ??? I do have the GameUserSettings.ini though
Can you copy the code you used at the end to change difficulty and paste it in a reply to my comment
Anybody getting a "wp.runtime.HLOD = "1" on the console I can not find the server. any help or point in right direction would be great
Hi, sorry I just wanted to find out do I need the game installed on the computer that I am wanting to run as a dedicated server?
🔥🔥
Hi, How do I take a Single player world and playerInfo to a Dedicated server so me and my friends can have the same data and characters on my server?
Your guide is perfect. Only missing one thing, how can I give myself admin. Since the server is ran through my Powershell, I cannot type "cheats enablecheats <password>" or "enablecheats <password>". I would assume im supposed to type this into my console in game. Yet nothing works when I enter my password thats setup in the config file. Any tips on how to bring up the Admin Manager and add admins through powershell.
Hi. When I standing around I get XP for nothing. Can I disable this somehow? I only want to get XP when doing actions
Just to make it easier bro: Set DifficultyOffset to 1.0 and set OverrideOfficialDifficulty with the formula: (Max Level You Want to Dinos Have / 30). So if you want max level 240, you must set OverrideOfficialDifficulty to 8.0 because 240 / 30 = 8. After change this, restart the server and join your server. Get admin permission using on console: enablecheats SERVER-ADMIN-PASSWORD and after use the command to spawn again all wild dinos with the changes u made: admincheat DestroyWildDinos
This is the right way the game works 😉
Hi, thanks a lot!
How can I set that I want to have a PVE server?
Can you explain how to enable uploading and downloading from the obelisk or transmitter? I have it working temporarily but we want no external downloads of saved stuff from outside our future cluster.
The RCON saveworld was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I'm naming my firstborn after you.
Q: can you also run other console commands from the RCON, like "cheat destroywilddinos" ?
Hi last night i have seen the server but not i cannot any idea why is like this please ?
Hey Im hosting a server for me and my friend. The only problem is that he cant see the server on the unofficial server tab. So he joins me via the console command "open MyExternalIP:7777" the problem with that, is that i have to disable my server password for that. Thats because lets assume my Password is "Password", then I thought he need to write this command in the console to join my server: "open MyExternalIP:7777 Password" but somehow after running the command, he gets the error "Server Password Incorrect".
So where the heck does he have to write the Serverpassword? What is the right console command to join a server which is password protected?
Does anyone know this?
difficultyOffset is how hard will be find max lv of dino, if bigger value, than harder to find it
Hello I have a question. How can I have multiple save like I would have to have differents save for differents people like server 1 save 1 and after closing this one I can launch a second server with a differents save you know ^^ ty for the response <3
So I download the server to another machine and then play on my pc or does it have to be from my pc aswell?
So I’ve opened all my ports and everything for the server to be hosted I’ve double and tripled checked my code. Everything shows up the way it should on the steam search in ark ascended browser but when anyone tries to join its a connection timeout failed to join session. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
So I’ve got it to where it shows in the server hosting unofficial but the server won’t let me join and says connection timeout everytime. Do you have any clue why it might be doing this. The ports are open
Appreciate the video and the batch code, I do have a couple queries though.
I can connect to my dedicated server fine, but my mates can't. I'm mostly sure I have my TCP and UDP ports set up correctly but I could be wrong with them. My Server console is also showing the entire command line string from the Launch batch file in the console itself, which is not altering the max player number but is setting a password on the server. I noticed yours isn't doing that and thought that could be a part of the problem too. Actively troubleshooting it now, it's a bit uphill given this is the first time I've ever tried to do a dedicated server for anything.
I dont even have a game.ini..??
Wanna share yours?
Hey Skarvig, thanks for all the help. I have another question that I'm asking around the internet. We have our dedicated server all installed, starts right up, 12 ping, but for some reason we can harvest but not craft or level. Any idea what might be causing that?
