The main issue is price for vps. It’s so expensive for a private server. Your best bet is making a your own if you plan to run the server for more than a 2 years. Imo
“WARNING!!!!” ⚠️ There is a massive issue that wildcard hasn’t fixed and I think they know about, but if your server world saves aren’t set to frequent, say every 3 minutes as I set mine too, if you transfer from one map to another and your game crashes and you haven’t been there for 15 minutes which is saved by default. Your character will be deleted. 1. Make sure you unlock at least one to two engrams on each map it’ll force save your character to the map. 2. if you transfer to a map, then go back and then transfer back and then transfer back and then transfer back again all within like two minutes time you will also lose your character because when you first arrive to the place you transfer to (say you started on the island and transfers to scorched) the game doesn’t save your character properly until unlocking an engram or world save happens. I recommend setting saves every three minutes and when you do transfer fast, makes you wait six minutes before going back-and-forth. I’ve had to force join my tribe with new characters 5 times since the last video Nooblets made on how to set this up 5 months ago (plus as I was watching the video a month ago the program was updated and had to figure it out mostly my self) 😂 these were my findings and solutions.
I detect a sound in nooblets voice the sound of sheer satisfaction that Nitrado have effectively been bypassed by the users and he’s loving it 🤣👌 pleased you’re happy mate, looking forward to your next vid after this 👍
I play exclusively on Xbox but this was still fun to watch. Back in the day my buddy would just run a dedicated server from their computer some of our friends would connect to it via xbox. Ah, the good ol' days.
Oh yeah I have 11 people on it daily and it seems to run alright with some lag sometimes but that's just ark 😂 but yeah I have a decent CPU for it@@joshuajenkins6920
I appreciate this tools existence, but ASA like ASE doesn't need an entirely separate copy of the server software for each map. You can run all the maps from the same install provided you plan on keeping the same server settings across them all. I do hope they update to support this, to make it easier for people who want to host their own clusters without using a lot of disk space, So, for now I will just stick to using batch files for launching my servers.
@@Baleed7256 None that I know of, I don't regularly run any ASA servers right now because of my internet. And when I was hosting ASE servers a few years ago, I just ran everything from a batch script off a second box. If I needed to run any commands on server I just logged into it to do so. I remember there being a free server tool for ASE that gave youa GUI interface for running a server instance, and that let you push commands to it, but I don't remember the name or if it ever got updated for use with ASA. Functionally the servers are near identical and handle most things the same way including commands, so if there is one for ASE, it might just work with ASA out of sheer coincidence. But I have no data to back that up.
Very nice video. I set up a server on my personal pc and am playing on it from my Xbox. My network connection has too much latency for my friends to connect, but other than that it works perfectly. Thanks a lot. Great video as usual.
Can you do a video on how to add Mods on the server, please? I've tried doing it via the server configuration in the mod section but when start the server and get on from another computer it shows no mods. Your videos are very helpful and I really enjoy watching them. thanks.
I don't know if this will be the case but if no mods are loading. I think there might be a setting on there for cross-platform compatibility. I would try unchecking or disabling all their cross-platform stuff that you won't be utilizing. Then try running the server again.
I've always just done it by adding them to the launch bat file (I'm guessing the server tool creates one somewhere, probably in the binaries\Windows folder).. just add the folowing to the launch arguments (with the mod IDs you want included): -mods="929420,928621,929800,939228"
I’m having problems with it. It don’t want to update haft the time and when it dose I click start server and it tells me that this file is missing to reinstall it to fix it but it don’t
Can someone please explain why this option is considered superior to purchasing a Nitrado server? It seems more expensive to me. I would love to set up my own Ascended cluster, but the cost of 3+ separate servers through Nitrado just isn't cost-effective for me. Thanks! :)
@NOOBLETS I've been running The Center server for a while now. I encountered some issues when CurseForge was down, which temporarily prevented players from accessing the server. The bots only respond when using Nitrado, so overall, it’s been an average experience. I’m open to exploring new options, but paying more with the hope of better service doesn’t really guarantee much for me.
@@airrunner85 that's issue with curseforge not any modded servers will work when it's down and you have mods on your server, ping will be much lower on a your own run server aslong you have enough ram the every map takes between 8-11 gb ram
The "show player servers" is the issue with setting up a non Nitrado server in regards to natural population growth. Ranked great under Nitrado and had a fast growing pop... the moment we switched to our own server and had to click the "show player servers" we had almost no new players.
Yeeeaaahhh...... I run an ASA server on my own hardware, and what you say is pretty much true..... I've only had one unique IP that wasn't my own ever connect to the server, whereas in the past when I've ran ASE servers, I would always end up with a healthy player base just entirely organically, didn't have a need to advertise or hype. That being said, I hope more people shun Nitrado and stop giving these scumbags what they want.
the thing i couldnt understand since the beginning was how you got the original server files? the one that requires you to browse on install directory, they are also the same files on the desktop that have the island and scorched earth, please help
Would the Windows VPS - Stone (4 vCPU 30GB Ram 200GB Disk Space 2TB Bandwidth 1 ipv4) Be enough to host more then 3 maps? id like to host more then one map without nitrado...
i just got this one its sitting at 25 gb/30 ram usage with aberration and island without players / structures built so imma upgrade to 60gb that should be enough for 4 maps (also windows use a little aswell)
How do I select aberration for a server even if I were to buy it on nitrado please let me know when I tried making my own server. I could only do the island so I said I might as well buy my own, but I don’t see any option for other maps and I wanna play aberration.
Does the hosting company offer a webadmin page to limit where you can RDP from (trusted IP/network address)? Raw RDP access open to any source IP could be a vulnerable attack surface. If they do great, would then use windows firewall to further lock down access to ports Ark server needs to further harden the server and reduce attack vectors against the system. Just the paranoid part of me seeing many organization terminal server get compromised over years. Seems like a good option though. Guess it works better than Nitrado?
So I have followed all of your guides on how to do this, and they are great, love them! But I am having issues finding my server, ports are forwarded and all that, and the servers are setup correctly, tested one with and without mods. The only thing I can think is this: I own ark on my main account and play there, main gaming PC, but the server is installed on a separate PC, but that PC has to run a different steam account for my valheim server, just easier that way, do I need to buy ark on this second account in order to run the server properly or does it not have anything to do with steam??? Would love your insight on this! Thank you.
Nitrado has an issue where it restarts your server over and over again I looked into it and I’ve found it’s been a problem for at least a year nitrado is not the way
Just to be clear, you could do all this in ASE for some time. My tribe used this method for over 6 months, but when we tried to switch maps we still needed to use Nitrado to keep our gear from Lost Island. Is this just now coming to ASA?
It's not cheaper at all, it's really better to use a spare PC in your own house until this Nitrado exclusivity nonsense ends and other options open up...... I'd still venture that it's a better option than Nitrado however, as by doing it this way you're still refusing to be forced into their greedy little box.
I appreciate the ARK content over the years! I am having an issue connecting from non lan to my server. Lan is np but anyone else gets “ connection timed out “ any ideas? We ran ASM for years with no issues so we have some xp with managing servers.
@@matthewmcconnell9011 Thanks, I actually figured it out - my issue was lame though - I forgot i was running TWO routers - SO I forwarded the wrong one. Are you having issues updating your server? Mine doesn't seem to update like it used to within just the last few days
bro itry it didnt work can you help me out please i close the creation tool now if i open it again i have to create new server wont show the server that is already there
I have my cluster running on a Dell R-720, using Proxmox with Ubuntu and Pelican on VM's. Was easier for me to just make the $500 purchase for a server from a local university that was upgrading, and then just setting it all up. This new tool does seem easy and convenient, but screw windows for servers.
Singleplayer works just like in Ark Survival Evolved. You do not need to set up a server to play singleplayer. This guide is only for settings up a server for playing with friends/other ppl in general.
My ports are open, server shows up in the server browser. My friend times out when connecting. The server is allowed through my firewall and my ISP is Spectrum if that sheds any light
Is this for setting up unofficial servers or just non dedicated? I am mainly wondering because I was thinking about buying a server computer but really just wanted unofficial not non dedicated because of the population issues.
@@NOOBLETS We did, we’ve ran ASM for years and having issues. Lan is fine but nothing outside our network😢 we set ports to the 7777 and 27015 - ports forwarded. ASA has access through firewall. Connection times out… any help would be appreciated.
I am going to give this a try. I have an old PC that I want to host from, so I can play by myself on my own local server (singleplayer is riddled with bugs, I can't even begin to deal with them) So will this tool automatically allow me to connect to the server from my gaming PC on the same local network? I don't really care about opening it up for ANYONE to be able to play with me, I don't have any friends that play and my schedule is so varied it just wouldn't be manageable for me. I just want to play the game I spent money on without having to fork over more money to Nitrado to play by myself.
Same I just wanna play ark I use to just host off my pc and join off my Xbox now there is no dedicated option so I can’t and my brain can’t comprehend all these complicated videos
Hmm, I followed all the steps but when I run the server I dont get the command window showing the server running, it doesnt start. Any suggestions? EDIT: I had to get the latest VC++ redistributable from the Microsoft site
You are Awesome mate.. But 1 Question... Can anyone find my server without knowing the name? Like will it pop up on a list of open servers players can join.. As I remember ASA servers hosted by players used to be hidden by filter where you had to spell corectly at least 3 letters and click the search filter again to find your server.
Oh no the issue now is the filter "show player owned servers" its off by default... so Nitrado can get all the natural population growth... so good luck...
I recently started playing on an ASA server that is NOT on Nitrado. It is on a private server, and I found it by just randomly searching for a server that had the The Center map. I didn't even know it was a non-Nitrado server until I posted in their Discord, and they mentioned it was Not nitrad server
So I've ran into a "bug" in the server search filter..... and I'm being polite by calling it a bug, because it's hard not to think it's completely intentional. So even with the "show player owned servers" box checked, it's not showing you all of the non-Nitrado servers.... you have to type part of the name of the server to search it, and oft times have to hit refresh to get the results to even show...... this seems to be the Snail/Nitrado alliance punishing anyone who doesn't wish to do things *their* way.

I use ASM. It doesn't cost anything. You set ASA a little differently than ASE.
can you add mods to these servers if so how, and does the seperate pc / vps have to own ark ascended (Meaning you also have to buy the game again)
I haven't played ASA and haven't been keeping up with the news, is this the ONLY way to play Singleplayer?
Singleplayer works just like in Ark Survival Evolved. You do not need to set up a server to play singleplayer. This guide is only for settings up a server for playing with friends/other ppl in general.
Hey. Do you have to setup server ports on your router?
My ports are open, server shows up in the server browser. My friend times out when connecting. The server is allowed through my firewall and my ISP is Spectrum if that sheds any light
Try opening DMZ on whatever your hosting on
So will this work for thows like me and my friends on xbox can we do this and cunakt to it throw are xbox
Is there any RCON tool to send commands into my server that its free?
what would be a minimum spec pc to run a server?
Is this for setting up unofficial servers or just non dedicated? I am mainly wondering because I was thinking about buying a server computer but really just wanted unofficial not non dedicated because of the population issues.
This is for unofficial
i cant find my server on my xbox and i turned on crossplay what do i do
Why doesn't my server show up and how to add mods? Thanks for this video.
I have ark ascended only on ps5 but i need to make server how?
anyone here having issues when friends try to join, they can see the server but it times out
Call your Internnet porvider and they will turn of the firewall settings so it will work then.. that was my problem too
you opened your router ports?
Yeah my router ports are open
@@NOOBLETS We did, we’ve ran ASM for years and having issues. Lan is fine but nothing outside our network😢 we set ports to the 7777 and 27015 - ports forwarded. ASA has access through firewall. Connection times out… any help would be appreciated.
Having the same issue. I can join but friend gets timed out. Everything port forwarded. Did you find a fix?
i want to set player max level to 44 but cant fine how can you help me
Has anyone installed a custom map like Amissa using this tool? I’m having trouble.
I am going to give this a try. I have an old PC that I want to host from, so I can play by myself on my own local server (singleplayer is riddled with bugs, I can't even begin to deal with them)
So will this tool automatically allow me to connect to the server from my gaming PC on the same local network? I don't really care about opening it up for ANYONE to be able to play with me, I don't have any friends that play and my schedule is so varied it just wouldn't be manageable for me. I just want to play the game I spent money on without having to fork over more money to Nitrado to play by myself.
Same I just wanna play ark I use to just host off my pc and join off my Xbox now there is no dedicated option so I can’t and my brain can’t comprehend all these complicated videos
Superb Tutorial Bro
I havent had a chance to watch the video yet is it crossplay?
How do you add Aberration? It doesn't seem to appear by default
I’m having this issue too, created the server and it says it’s ready but I can’t see it, but I can see my other servers
Hmm, I followed all the steps but when I run the server I dont get the command window showing the server running, it doesnt start. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I had to get the latest VC++ redistributable from the Microsoft site
glad you got it working ;)
You are Awesome mate.. But 1 Question... Can anyone find my server without knowing the name? Like will it pop up on a list of open servers players can join.. As I remember ASA servers hosted by players used to be hidden by filter where you had to spell corectly at least 3 letters and click the search filter again to find your server.
Oh no the issue now is the filter "show player owned servers" its off by default... so Nitrado can get all the natural population growth... so good luck...
I recently started playing on an ASA server that is NOT on Nitrado. It is on a private server, and I found it by just randomly searching for a server that had the The Center map. I didn't even know it was a non-Nitrado server until I posted in their Discord, and they mentioned it was Not nitrad server
So I've ran into a "bug" in the server search filter..... and I'm being polite by calling it a bug, because it's hard not to think it's completely intentional. So even with the "show player owned servers" box checked, it's not showing you all of the non-Nitrado servers.... you have to type part of the name of the server to search it, and oft times have to hit refresh to get the results to even show...... this seems to be the Snail/Nitrado alliance punishing anyone who doesn't wish to do things *their* way.
REM These steps will walk you through creating a .bat (aka batch file) that you can run to copy files
REM and folders from one location to another. It also adds a time and date stamp to the end of the resulting folder.
REM Right click on your desktop and select "New" then "Text Document".
REM Copy everything below from "echo off" to the end of the text and past it into your new Text Document.
REM Edit the last xcopy line. Add the original/source folder path between the first double quotation marks.
REM Add the target/destination folder between the second double quotation marks.
REM Save the file for the first time, selecting short name describing the purpose (e.g. Copy Forglar Saves.bat).
REM Ensure the file name ends with .bat instead of .txt. This is what makes it an executable bat (batch) file.
REM Double click on your new .bat file to copy everything from the source to the destination.
REM Depending on your source and destination folders you may need to right click on your new bat file and "Run as Administrator".

Can i simply use my 2nd pc for that ? I have an windows 10 32gb with intel 12900 and 3080 gaäraficcard. Or does it habe to be a vps
Yes!
server files have been avail for months NOTrado is trash we dropped them a few weeks into release
Could you run it on a NAS
How do you change a non dedicated server password on xbox
You're much better off just leaving a spare home computer online at all times.
Kan it for ps5 want I don’t have ark on pc
Will the server be crossplay?
You can run it on your own computer
How to get mods in the server?
Good job man!
i keep getting an error when i go to update game files
has the server been up and running before?
If your error is the Update Error (followed by a long string of numbers starting with 21) then try installing the DotNet9 SDK from the official microsoft website. The updated downloader requires this and this is not included in the standart Win10/Win11 install.
does ths work if you do it on your own computer
on a spare pc, not the one you game on
Fight the power. Screw Nitrido
does this allow crossplay?
Mine says failed to open descriptor file../../../shooter game/shootergame.uproject any ideas
Why is my comment removed when I suggest a different solution that makes it accessible to more people?
UA-cam bots incorrectly flagging and removing comments....... it seems to happen more often if you're using an ad blocker of any sort.... I speak from experience here lol. It's not Nooblets trying to censor you, it's just this garbage platform.

lol as you can see by my reply above, I had to alter my reply a bit so they would stop deleting it..... took me 3 tries. 😅
Ooof and it still gets deleted...... in a nutshell though, it's youtube bots deleting your comments, they suck...... it's not the content creators trying to censor you, just this platform....... make sure to thank them xD
do i need to own the game and download it to my computer?
not the server one no
@@NOOBLETSjust tried this and the sever cant get past the updating part gives a exit code 2147450730 not sure what to do
Can u do it for me because idon’t have pc 😊
about console server. I not pc I'm on PlayStation
Can you do this on Xbox s?
It's for all versions of Ark Ascended
I feel so dumb, i dont understand any of this :'(
Bro when tf did vps’s get soooo damn expensive what is that lol
Seriously, used to be $7.99! Then again, what isn’t?
Would love to but im on console and nitrado has been fantastic!
How does it save
it doesnt you have to back up the files yourself
LETSSS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
I'm sure they will put an end to this, sooner than later. greed knows no bounds.
How can you set a password for the server?
its on one of those past video I did
Do 1 for xbox
I don’t think Xbox can make servers
wtf is this. They added trains to ark? Might actually worth buying it now
Only if you pay for the additional $41 DLC....
Till that servers not work and you have the same problem.
