Wanna play on my ASA server? Come pop in my Discord :) discord.gg/STjrHeY9jm
Can you mod it
Just replaced my gaming PC, my old rig easily function as a server. I really hate relying on Nitrado's terrible business practices to host my wife's Patron server for her Ark YT channel.
I don't know if I want to rely on hosting it myself for our community, but I am glad to have the option. I will making this video rewatch later if I end up doing it. Thanks!
If you just click "X" to close the server you will loose all progress since the last world save. The proper way to close the server is typing "quit" on the window prompt. It will save the world and close the server.
Sorry I'm very dumb but where is the console to type this? I get no text box
i also cant see where to type quit or anything else.. any help on this one please?
Nvm i found it, you click on the arrows in the top right corner and it pops out a command line at the bottom where you can type, and press RunCommand.
haha omg! stupid me couldnt find that either@@mindtrip_GT
tytyty
I should also mention this should work (assuming you have portforwarded) for XBOX! I believe crossplay between Steam & Xbox is enabled by default.
What about PS5?
It works for ps5
If it works for PS5 that's perfect
Do you have to port forward if you're playing on the same Internet? Or can you join locally on Xbox?
How do I port forward
I think the server might not be as power-hungry as initially thought (at least, not for small groups), as I just tested it on my 4-year-old laptop (i7-9750H with 16GB RAM) and I was able to play on the same machine while hosting, AND I had a "second player" join via Xbox (it was me, lol).
It was only a 5-minute test, but I did use the fly command to zoom around a bit and there were no issues at all (besides being killed by compies while I was switching between PC and Xbox to find the other character, lol).
Further testing may be required to see how it handles with extra tames, bases, etc.
A bunch of those settings in the server config of the wiki that had a question mark have been updated. I've been testing and updating them the last 2 days, updated at least 5 of those by now.
Thanks this is the most help server guide for the game yet. Props 😊
been waiting for this guide, thank you for sharing!
Your live streams look so good, could you please do a vid or even a short where you run through your settings/console commands? I want my game to look like your game.
Yes I would like to see this too!
Although I dont understand the configuration, you helped me so much. Good work.
The way I've been doing the .ini stuff is set up a single play world and use the sliders, then copy it from the .ini file to the servers .ini file, you just have to make sure its under the right header then
Been waiting for this video!!!❤❤❤
How powerful of a core does an ASA server need? I'd like to know which architectures/core types run it well
Question, when I make the start up Bat file and use it for starting the server, does it update too? How do I make sure that it updates? Hope this isn't a dumb question....?
Hello! Thanks a lot for the guide, its great! I do have a question though regarding modded dinos.. I have added few modded dino IDs as also others items, and while everything is working correct, the modded dinos do not spawn what so ever. I tried i think everything till now (destroywilddinos command etc) but nothing seems to spawn them on a private server. I play from ps5 and from xbox SX, and in signle player those mods work just fine... and idea what could causing the dino mods to not spawn on the private server?
I'm currently looking at coding a very simple GUI to cut out alot of this out to help people who are not so familiar with this. I may need some help in regards to testing it?
Hey man thanks for the help, was wondering what your opinion in xbox/windows10/11 not having access is/ do you think they will ever get it?
Neddy this video is super helpful! The only thing I'm wondering is how major are the differences if you have a dedicated machine for running the server? Will I still have to be linked through my own steam account for example?
I suspect you probably know this by now, but I'll reply in case it helps others: No, you do not need to use ANY credentials to run the dedicated server.
Thanks, I might be able to make a server for my family, friends, and I!
I got a range of errors relateing to missing .dll files
I've fixed those issues by just downloading them and copying them to the folder but now I'm getting the error "Windows cannot find 'ArkAscendedServer.exe'. Make sure you've typed the name correctly, then try again."
I can see that .exe in the folder, how can I fix this?
Is there a way to wipe the server info? Basically just deleting that world so you can start a new one?
@NeddyTheNoodle Hi, We started playing on a nitrado server and reached the point where we wanted to move to a dedicated server. We launched the server and managed to log in without any issues. However, when we try to transfer the game save from nitrado to the server, the server goes into a restart loop and keeps crashing. The crash log shows the following information:
Primal Game Data Took 0.33 seconds ERROR!!! FAtlasSaveManager::LoadOperationSql: SQL database is corrupt and the save game is compromised! Exiting...
If I only upload the player saves and start a "fresh" map, the server starts without any problems. The issue only arises when I try to start the transferred map from nitrado.
Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this, or how to safe transfer our progress please?
Got it running on PC no problem, then connected from PS5. Great video.
Did you have an issue with the line wp.runtime.HLOD = "1" ?
did you have to bbuy asa on your pc
@@kingkiga8940, no the server is free.
does anyone know how to update the server mine has been running on 31.15 for a week and I cant figure out of to update it to current server version.
Experts say that after this videoclip end Neddys PC EXPLODED 😅😅😅
FACTS
Anyone know how to update the server? i.e do you do it whilst the server is running, as after you close it the file/command box disappears.
hello, sorry I'm searching and can't find this problem I'm having..
after the last update I can't place items of mods, for example the traps of randy's animal trap. I go to place them but they disappear; I see the green image but it doesn't construct.
somebody knows about this?
thank you
I play on PS5 and looking to host my own server when I just play with my freinds instead of doing non-dedicated (when asa comes out). I hope this works for ps thanks to crossplay (I also have a computer).
Had my server up and running fine now for the past month but the PC crashed today and now the server wont load, the server goes through the booting up process but then the window just closes. in event view it shows the following error: Metadata staging failed, result=0x80072EFE for container '{A480DBE9-B64A-11EC-B592-00D8619DD359}' any ideas?
In the ASA Terminal, you type in exit and it will close the server and save the game at the same time. I closed the ASA terminal by clicking the x button on the top right and it never saved the game progression. Just an FYI.
oops they changed it i guess
Is that the in game terminal or server terminal?
@@oxleyryan1 server terminal
It worked for a while but then about 10hrs in the game crashed and no one is able to join back in anymore. It says theres a connection timeout. Any solutions to it?
Woohoo, thanks for making this video!
So the new update you can’t see anybody’s server if it’s made by players, you gotta click show player server and it doesn’t stay click every time turn the game off and on you gotta re-click it to find the server
I was losing my mind, thank you ton. I was searching high and wide to see what changed and I found it. To extend it further, also turn off the PC-Only option. I didn't need to do that before but after the latest update 17/12/23 I do. Thank you thank you thank you.
thanks bro, its going to be very helpful
I did all the steps correctly but when it gets to the running part, the server doesn't enter, it gives a message saying that the time to access has expired, is it because I'm trying to access via Playstation 5?
Hi i have a problem. The window of the server's console is locked outside of 2nd monitor, i can see it just slightly. I can't move it and Win + UP doesn't work. How can i make it so i see the console
why when i double click on the steamcmd it only get me half of the filles you got. 2:04
Can you play with xbox players while running a PC server? Does the cross play work? I can't stand the tether they have in the non-Dedicated Server.
I was able to create the server and play for about two days but now when I load the server I am not able to find it.. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Hi Neddy, Super helpful video as always, thanks for sharing. I know I wont be the only one thinking of this but, How does the mod function work for the server? if we want to run a particular mod say cryopods or upgrade station... Do you know how we would install the mod on the server and how would we update it? Thanks in advance and also - Thanks for everything you do :)
add -mods=(mod ID number separated by commas without parenthesis) into the startsever.bat file you created.
@@Taloth1969 Thanks, but any idea how to update the mods, or will this just always use the latest version?
how do u know the mod id number?@@Taloth1969
nvm figured it myself out, on the mod folder the first number is the id of the mod.
@@grahamvs should always use the latest as far as I know
When I make the folder start servers I get "this app can't run on your pc
To find a version for ur pc check with the software publisher " plzz help someone
dont open it ... only modify it
Hi i used this method and it worked perfectly for a couple of days now i am on a more recent version of ark and my friends arent and it doesnt let me change the server version how can i?
Would anyone be able to help me
I have done everystep but when I got to launch the server it says couldn’t load mods library from disk so I get on the game just to make sure if it could be working and no session found even tho on the server it has a green status but also saying tricking loop while also tracking the time of it being on. Does anyone know what I should do?
Great video thank you very much. It may be worth adding a comment at the bat creation stage that installing visual C is required. If you do not have visual C installed you will get a .dll error
How do i download it? can you provide a link?
Is it possible to run a dedicated server from the pc xbox game pass? can't find a dedicated app like steam has
When i try to transfer character to one of my cluster's map i get Host timed out , when i reconnect my character is there but i would like to be able to transfer without being disconnected everytime . Does someone know where its coming from ?
So, I am confused... You have the Xbox logo in the thumbnail for the video... As far as I know Xbox and Steam are NOT crossplay? So how does this work exactly. I was trying to set my PC up using the Xbox Gamepass PC version. But the video has you download SteamCMD? Does this work for people playing the game through the Xbox gamepass version or not?
PS - I am on PC, but several people I am trying to set this up for are on the Xbox console.
Same, I play on PC but my friends play on Xbox. There seems to be no clarification on whether this works for Xbox and if it doesn't the preview is misleading. I did see that on his ark game there was a box that says PC only* for server searching that you can check which I assume indicates that it's cross-play cause if it was just the steam version why would it even have a PC only option? 😵 I guess the only real way to see if it works on Xbox is to just do it. What's the worst that can happen?
You probably figured this out by now but this is for ASA not ASE. ASA is not on gamepass and is crossplay
Thanks a lot man!
Thanks, How can i make it PVE only? It lists as PVP in the sessions list.
Will this setup work for console if I use my pc. Do you need Asa on steam or no
Steam CMD crashes as soon as I try to install it. I've been researching for hours how to fix with no avail... Please help.
So if i bought ark on ps5, i can run a server off pc without needing to buy ark on steam?
Windows server manager with the Ark ascended plug in does all this work for you for install and running it.
My laptop only has 2 cores with 16gigs of ram and it has been running a server just fine(for now with 2 players)
I did all this but didn't have anything to paste in the end. Do I have to input all of this
Hey man appreciate the video. I actually set up my own server like this on my PC so me and my friends on Xbox can play together. The PC is strictly for the server as I’m playing on the Series X, however I can’t figure out how to make myself an admin. Do you know how I can do that? Thanks in advance!
Did you have to do the port-forwarding section? as i cba with that it confuses me
Are you planning on leaving your pc running all the time?
Nevermind it was simple the port forwarding, worked great
Did you have to buy ASA on steam for it to work?
How to run an undedicated server on Xbox?? Also trying to invite my friend on PlayStation but he can’t find my server
I think I did everything right but when I go to run the startserver.bat it doesn't do anything or run it. Then I run it as administrator and a error pops up saying-> windows cannot find 'ArkAscendedServer'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again
Same
Question i have the game on ps5 i wanted to know. if i buy it on pc can i run the server on pc and play it on my ps5?
Do you have to own it on steam to make the server work?
Any idea why I get a black screen when i connecto to my server? Im hosting the server in my other pc
Your instructions helped a lot of us self hosters. Can you also create one showing us how to cluster Island and SE using one machine?
I recommend using the same server install and running 2 different batch files. Just make sure they have different Ports, Query Ports and session names, but they MUST have the same cluster ID (make this unique to your cluster, otherwise it will try to cluster with other servers using the same ID).
Can't wait for Obelisk to release. Will make all of this a lot easier hopefully.
yessir
what is obelisk?
If you don’t mind me asking, what is obelisk? Is it like ASE where you could host a dedicated server from the game?
The reason I ask is I’m still screwed for hosting a dedicated server for my Xbox even though I have a strong enough PC because I can’t port forward with starlink but with ASE I could by hosting in game.
dont leave us hanging, what is obelisk????
An upcoming server manager. not out yet
I really wished you explained how to actaully port forward because I can't seem to get it working everything else worked I just can't get anyone outside the network to join
K someone tell me if i'm stupid but i thought you could just start a non-dedicated server through the in-game menu....? when you start the game, theres the Play/Join game option, and you can switch a save file between "Single Player" and "Host Server" (or something along those lines) options. When doing so, the pause button no longer pauses the game, you have access to ALL the admin commands, etc. From the little time i spent in it, it sure felt like it legit switched from single to multiplayer....How is that different?
I'm not being rhetorical or a smartass either, i legitimately know next to nothing about servers and am curious what the difference in. This stuff all seems like a LOT of extra work for the casual player just wanting to play with a couple buddies
A dedicated server is an encapsulated process, completely detached from the game client(s). When the player of a non-dedicated session has a crash, for example, the "server" is gone too. That's not the case with dedicated ones - they are MUCH more stable. They are also much easier to keep running when you're not actively playing. No graphics to render etc. It's basically just as the name implies: "Dedicated".
okay so what Noodle is covering here is a Dedicated server, that is independent of any one player's PC and can be accessed by any member at any time, rather than having to have one person leave their PC turned on 24/7 (non-dedicated), am I understanding that correctly? where what I was referencing above, that you can turn on through the in-game menu, is a non-dedicated server that would result in other people only being able to play while my PC is turned on with the game running @@Ferodra
There are non-technical differences between dedicated and non-dedicated, or at least one major difference. Non-dedicated servers force tethering between the host and any other players. Furthermore, this tethering is currently broken. So right now all players must stay within approx 180m of the host, otherwise they get teleported or dragged towards the host.
Once tethering is fixed, it should function similar to ASE, and allow you to change the tether range to a very large number, but the tethering still forces the teleport if you approach/enter a cave system. This is very disruptive to standard gameplay and can be somewhat game-breaking. If a group is far from home and someone dies, they just get teleported over by the tethering, which removes the whole walk-back. It's like the devs forcing a cheesy strat that players can use/abuse.
Also, because the non-dedicated server shuts down instantly if the host crashes, no proper game save is performed during the crash, resulting in potentially significant rollbacks. I changed the save frequency to 5 minutes in the game files but it appears to ignore that setting. It defaults to 15 minutes, but I'll be honest it often feels like MUCH more progress than that gets lost. I'm not convinced that setting is working correctly either.
@@MarEvayave This is and has been because arks map checkpoint, which where unchanged from the island when porting the heighmap to UE5 (not specifically talking about the landscape but the general areas of the map in code for the island) since ASE some of that saving and progression depended on where you where and if the last save encapsulated specific areas, this coming from experience, as a game analyst that as a player ran its own server for friends and also had tried for many years the non dedicated version, in my experience the reason it doesnt save is because there is a delay in the areas for what other players do from what the host does, therefore a save only encapsulates very temperamental files for instance if you where taming a creature and that tame belonged to a friend non host this could cause the server not to save that in the next save and wait until another pass to save that info into the file type of the save, specially if said tameing was far from the host, this is the reason of the thethering in original ASE that original distance of 200 was to avoid this kind of issues, in UE5 however this should not exist as is, we will ahve to see if they change the non dedicated tethering when fixed
@@MarEvayave tethering is working as intended. Don't be daft.

Hi all, this is great and I got this working! There's a new update since I downloaded and started playing my server. How do I update to the new build?
how do I update the server?
It’s telling me it can’t find the arkascendedserver.exe when I go to start it?
An easy way to get a working game.ini that I did for my server is to make a single player game with the settings I wanted and just copied the ini that generated into my server. After that its a matter of tweaking and fine tuning the settings to suit your needs there.
So I followed everything you did but I cant see the server?
Ned do you know if I can join my Xbox players non dedicated
How do i add mods to my server?
Does it work for the Windows Microsoft Edition from ark on PC aswell? Or only the stesm Version?
I'm wondering the same thing
When I steam cmd is done installing updates, it just closes?
When I run steamcmd it downloads and extracts then it just closes
What are the minimum specs to run a server?
i get these little red x icons do they mean anything ?
how do i use different settings for each map do u know x
Is 16GB enough for the server only (crossplay)?

Error! App '2430930' state is 0x202 after update job." what did i do wrong?
i have the same problem
What if I have a g7 server with windows 2019 on it
Your game.ini file didn't auto populate because you need to exit the server first by typing "cheat doexit". Just closing the server window doesn't work
Can you do this with the windows copy of ark ascended?
can i run server on my home server pc and play on my xbox?
Works on Linux using Proton. I run our server on Linux. Also the Steam Deck runs ASA dedicated server very well, no issues.
Correct. I also run it on Proton, I was just talking about native support.
Haha, funny enough, I was thinking I should try this on my Steam Deck so I can link my PC and Xbox. Thanks @thedarquibus
@@grahamvs no worries. Shout if you need any info.
Hi! The video is incredible, and I have set up my server, opened the ports on my router, and everything, but I can't find my server when I enter the game, and I don't know why. I've been trying for 2 days. Can someone help me?
Everyone I see showing how to do this is always putting it on the same computer that they run the game on to play I want to know if it's possible to put it on a different computer that you don't play on without having to buy a whole another copy of the game
yes, its the exactsame process, you just dont play the game on the pc
What I did is for the 2nd PC running the server, I toggled my Steam account to OFFLINE mode, and run the dedicated server, while on my gaming PC I am online on Steam and launch the game. It works splendidly
@@NeddyTheNoodle Awesome. My plan is build a pc out of my old xbox one. and use it as a server. im tracking down all the parts and trying to figure out how to use the xbox power brick because my house has power issues and fries psu's if you dont run a ups. but ive never had psu issue with the xbone
Since crossplay is a possibility as of now, does this server work across platforms?
Did you ever find out?
anyone know how to change the level cap for the server and to change the dinos levels
Thank you Neddy
can we play with other plateforme like pc ps5 ?
