Hi, so me and my friend have tried this, and the server doesn't pop up. We both play on steam and we have tried using steam to invite each other but we get an error message or it doesn't work when we try that. Any idea how to fix it? Thank you in advance!
@@eci21 hey, unfortunately i gave up hosting non-dedicated and private servers when whatever what we did was not working, so we've found empty servers to play on (and if you don't have addons it works, just find descriptions which state steam/epic

It sounds like it might be an issue with port forwarding. Here's a link to a very detailed video that should be able to help you, start at 21:44 and then 25:55 if that doesn't work and let me know either way because I'll keep trying to figure it out for you.

This does not work on epic games version of the game. The connection always times out. Tried portforwarding still no luck. Some say its due to Epic games. Gotta try steam version. Did you have to do anything like port forwarding?
my brother created a session, but the session doesn't pop up for my screen. I filter out the name to exact server name and set the filter thingy to non-dedicated arks. we both play on Nintendo switch BTW
Is he making is password protected, by chance? There's another box to check to show password protected servers and if that's not the case I'll keep trying to find the answer!
hey could you help me? Im playing ark with my xbox game pass as well as my friend and we cant join our non dedicated server it always says "Join Failed" do you have a solution?
@@demoniccrunk same here. I'm setting it up on my PC and she's trying to join from Xbox one x. it won't pop up on any of the server filters and when I send her an invite from the esc menu it always says join failed

i just got this game, love dinosaurs and watned to play for the first time...NOTHING WORKS WHEN I CLICK HOST\LOCAL...i just wanna play the game..is there a career mode or something ? i click the tsotf option or whatever its called and it takes me to a page where it says no servers...and i click the refresh button and same message pops up...i just wanna play the game 😔
So most people are playing un unofficial servers online or single player, because they closed the public servers down when they released ASA (Ark: Survival Ascended) but if you go to choose a map in Host you'll be able to play whichever you want offline and you can transfer that same char via the obelisk or make new chars for each map! I'm very sorry for the late response, I took a big break because of outside influences and am just getting back into the swing of things!
Hey sorry, I just saw this comment! Are you on Steam or Xbox? I would look into "port forwarding" I added Neddy's video and he talks about it in the pinned comment! Let me know if it works and good luck, sorry for the late response!
Me and my wife are playing on a Non dedicatet server i am the host but i get only 40 to 60 fps. Is there a fix for it or some tricks to get more fps? In my SP world i get around 130 to 160 fps. My specs are a Amd ryzen 9 5900x with 32gb 3200 mhz ram and a RTX 3080ti. I dont want to pay money for a server.
On PC The tethering distance could be an issue, other than that, off the top of my head this is the most comforting FPS vid I was able to find because it shows you each difference visually on top of the explanations: ua-cam.com/video/oe0cWC3je7Y/v-deo.html
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If you both have internet access, the game and our on the same servers then yes, you should be fine! Please let me know if you need any more help, I'm here.

Hey!I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles! Have you tried port forwarding at all? Here's an extremely detailed guide from Neddy that should hopefully be able to get you where you need! ua-cam.com/video/o1dcWkSzGd4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NeddyTheNoodle I would start with Port Forwarding or it couldn't hurt to hit his "Joining Via Epic" timestamp, either!

me and my bf are tryna play together on a non dedicated session, but everytime we try to invite eachother it says join failed. we've try searching in the join arks, but they never show up. im on xbox 1 and hes on series x. do you know whats wrong?
I am SO SORRY I didn't see this for so long, I took a long break from posting because of outside influences and I feel horrible! Did you ever get this working?!
Honestly, I don't think that it does but I'm not 100% I think if you "cheat destroywilddinos" that it will erase and replace them all actively though when they start popping back in but don't quote me on that lol!
You know tbh I’ve never tried split screen but I imagine on a console yes, the tether would be the same as you set it. I’m not 100% though so if you try it out and it’s different, please let me know!
Doesn’t work any trick to delete tether Distance on split screen bc me and my buddy. Want to pvp each other but can’t run 100m away from the other person

When you go and click host non dedicated, your friend can't also select host or they'll make their own world and not join yours, it's easiest to send them an invite to your game after you started it
Hey there! So for sure don't have any mods loaded and then actually there's a few steps you can take to make sure he can see it, this video explains it well but if you still don't get it working I'll for sure keep trying to help! ua-cam.com/video/CyBT0UF0DpY/v-deo.html From my understanding you have to disable battleye and can add a -crossplay in your stream startup for Ark or into your files and if it doesn't show up still you can join via the console by type "open server-ip" not the words server ip but whomever's you're trying to join!!

I'll try to find one
@@demoniccrunk thank you so much for trying to help even other people playing on the servers dont really know so i would be grateful for any help you can offer
I believe it'd make your friend automatically install them but if that doesn't work yeah he should manually, as long as you're both able to install mods it should work!
Yes, on the Steam version at you can set it super high and have it not be an issue though but you will be tethered either way. You can experiment with how far away before they ricochet back to you though to get a feel for it lol
I feel it, I wish they'd extend it too tbh but try typing 1000 and hoping for the best or maybe finding a lowly populated unofficial PC server in the meantime, I wish I was more help but hope you have fun!
New player here and only played the island but my SO and I want to start a non dedicated server soon on a new map I’m on ps5 and she’s on a ps4pro for 1 is it still possible for her to still join my ps5 server and 2 will all her progress and player be saved to the server. We got ASE recently for free and want to stay on it due to my SO not having a ps5 for ASA.
@@somethingimportant7747 I’m sorry I responded late! That’s good to know you can though, thank you! I wish they’d fix the tethering but I’m happy you can play!
I just tried to load my nondedicated server on xbox and it said i needed a subscription. I didn't need one before. DO you know if there was an update made my the game developers? I called Xbox and they said it was up to the developers.
Were you playing with the Gamepass version and the sub to that ran out? I'm not finding anything about Wildcard in terms of an update to that but I'll keep checking.
Sorry it didn't work for you, seems to have for over 65k other people though so spread through the comments to try to figure it out or click that link to another detailed video in the description and hopefully you'll get it going! I believe in you!

OMG, bro I'm so sorry for not answering this earlier! Did you get the info you needed? I believe for example on my Nitrado server, I could set it to crossplay but then just not use mods and I apologize for not replying much, much sooner.
@@demoniccrunk kinda, you can go on single player and then host a non dedicated session, my brother was able to join (both on switch). So it worked but not how you described it.
Hi, I'm a PS4 player and I can't invite my friend on my non dedicated server. We have tried several times on different maps, but whenever he receives an inventation, the game won't let him join! Do you have any idea what's the deal about it? It already worked in the past when we were living together :/
How do u join a server that is privated, because i wanna play modded ark with my friends (we are both on laptop/pc and we have the same mods downloaded and we wanna play private server together).
You can pay to host your own server through G Portal or Nitrado/I'm sure there are others, or you can both search for unofficial/non dedicated servers to join you jus thave to filter what you want in bottom left of the screen when you're looking for new servers
It's saying this when you hit "Accept" to start your server? Are you trying to type in any symbols like "!@#$%^&*()_+?" when you're setting it up in either the password or server name? It will only work with any letters A-Z and all the numbers, but no symbols. Let me know if that helps!
Oh I see, yeah as far as I know Epic can only play with Epic users, Steam with Steam and so on but if anyone happens sees this and knows differently please correct me!
I am SO SORRY I didn't see this for so long, I took a long break from posting because of outside influences and I feel horrible! Did you get it going? Which platform are you on?
I hosted a non dedicated server and am playing on ark through PC xbox and my brother is playing on xbox but when i invite him it he tells me that it says join failed
@@demoniccrunk I think I figured it out, its that his verions is like 192.6 I think but mine is at 192.5 so in assuming thats why but I dont know when the xbox app on PC updates ARK
What's happening when it glitches out? I'm sorry btw, I'm seeing more comments than have showed up where I thought I needed to click to see all of them, (my) user error I imagine but I'm here I'll try to help however I can. What exactly happens when it doesn't load in?

Yes, on the Steam version at you can set it super high and have it not be an issue though but you will be tethered either way. You can experiment with how far away before they ricochet back to you though to get a feel for it lol
@@demoniccrunk sucks, not sure my laptop will run a dedicated server tho... Seems like a lot just to plY with my kid .. lol.... thanks
I feel it, I wish they'd extend it too tbh but try typing 1000 and hoping for the best or maybe finding a lowly populated unofficial PC server in the meantime, I wish I was more help but hope you have fun!
New player here and only played the island but my SO and I want to start a non dedicated server soon on a new map I’m on ps5 and she’s on a ps4pro for 1 is it still possible for her to still join my ps5 server and 2 will all her progress and player be saved to the server. We got ASE recently for free and want to stay on it due to my SO not having a ps5 for ASA.
TBH, I'm not sure because I play Xbox and I know you can't crossplay on there but would love to know if it worked out for you!
@@demoniccrunk thankyou for the reply and yes all is well besides that forsaken tethering.
@@somethingimportant7747 I’m sorry I responded late! That’s good to know you can though, thank you! I wish they’d fix the tethering but I’m happy you can play!
thanks i didnt know how to do it (i know im dumb)
You’re welcome and you’re not dumb!
I just tried to load my nondedicated server on xbox and it said i needed a subscription. I didn't need one before. DO you know if there was an update made my the game developers? I called Xbox and they said it was up to the developers.
Were you playing with the Gamepass version and the sub to that ran out? I'm not finding anything about Wildcard in terms of an update to that but I'll keep checking.
@@demoniccrunk i have been playing the same way the whole time that's why I'm confused
With out the game pass I mean
Nope doesn't help because my map still ain't appearing
Sorry it didn't work for you, seems to have for over 65k other people though so spread through the comments to try to figure it out or click that link to another detailed video in the description and hopefully you'll get it going! I believe in you!
it says joining failed connection timeout
Sometimes it does that for me when joining Official even but after a couple tries I usually get in, did it end up working for you or do you need help?
@@demoniccrunk it's just happend to me in non dedicated servers but the official i can join normal
Are you trying to join a specific server like your friends or just any non-dedicated?
@@demoniccrunk on my friends and any server any non-dedicated server i can't join on it
@@hazem_emarh9983 It might be an issue with port forwarding, here's a more detailed video that I found that hopefully helps, let me know if it still doesn't and I'll keep searching in the meantime ua-cam.com/video/o1dcWkSzGd4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NeddyTheNoodle
why does it not show my server to my friends
Are you on the same console?
can we do crossplay steam and epic?
OMG, bro I'm so sorry for not answering this earlier! Did you get the info you needed? I believe for example on my Nitrado server, I could set it to crossplay but then just not use mods and I apologize for not replying much, much sooner.
My friend can't find My server
I'm sorry for the late response, which platform are you on? Did you get it working?
Does this work on switch?
I'm sorry for the late reply, did you end up getting it working?
@@demoniccrunk kinda, you can go on single player and then host a non dedicated session, my brother was able to join (both on switch). So it worked but not how you described it.
Hi, I'm a PS4 player and I can't invite my friend on my non dedicated server.
We have tried several times on different maps, but whenever he receives an inventation, the game won't let him join!
Do you have any idea what's the deal about it?
It already worked in the past when we were living together :/
I'm sorry for this late response, which platform is your friend on?
Didn't work
Same console?
it is not there
Hey hey, what's not there?? Walk me through your process and I'l try to help!!
@@demoniccrunk i have it the owner need to be online to work
I'm happy you got it working :D!!
How do u join a server that is privated, because i wanna play modded ark with my friends (we are both on laptop/pc and we have the same mods downloaded and we wanna play private server together).
You can pay to host your own server through G Portal or Nitrado/I'm sure there are others, or you can both search for unofficial/non dedicated servers to join you jus thave to filter what you want in bottom left of the screen when you're looking for new servers
@@demoniccrunk ok thanks.
When I try to hit accept it just says “Only numbers and characters are allowed” please help.
It's saying this when you hit "Accept" to start your server? Are you trying to type in any symbols like "!@#$%^&*()_+?" when you're setting it up in either the password or server name? It will only work with any letters A-Z and all the numbers, but no symbols. Let me know if that helps!
Yes, I think it has something with that I downloaded it on epic games.
Oh I see, yeah as far as I know Epic can only play with Epic users, Steam with Steam and so on but if anyone happens sees this and knows differently please correct me!
Ok thank you.
You're welcome :)
i try to make a non dedicated server but when i press accept it goes away and i cant find him in the non dedicated servers list
I am SO SORRY I didn't see this for so long, I took a long break from posting because of outside influences and I feel horrible! Did you get it going? Which platform are you on?
I hosted a non dedicated server and am playing on ark through PC xbox and my brother is playing on xbox but when i invite him it he tells me that it says join failed
This can be tricky sometimes to finally get it to work, it's showing the server but not letting you join?!
@@demoniccrunk I think I figured it out, its that his verions is like 192.6 I think but mine is at 192.5 so in assuming thats why but I dont know when the xbox app on PC updates ARK
When I try to make a server it says only numbers and characters are allowed
Never mind I did it
Sorry for the late response, I'm glad you got it working!
i have this same issue. how did you go about fixing it?
When I click accept the game glitches out for me
Pls help
What's happening when it glitches out? I'm sorry btw, I'm seeing more comments than have showed up where I thought I needed to click to see all of them, (my) user error I imagine but I'm here I'll try to help however I can. What exactly happens when it doesn't load in?
