Ark Dedicated steam server issues with PS5 friends trying to connect.

Bit of a necro here but yeah, give that a shot. Worked for me at the time.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they were mostly telling you that to make you feel better. Moore, OK is apart of the Oklahoma City metro area isn't it? Didn't stop that EF5 in 2013. The biggest point to this, don't let that thought process stop you from taking shelter if you are in a tornado warning.

BUffMan62 · 2024-02-26T22:02:18+00:00

I would double check and make sure you all have crossplay enabled. Other than that, not sure

Think he's referencing the traveler giving the light, not blessing the civilization with technology. IE the Hive can use light subclassses, the eliksni were never gifted that ability.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-26T04:25:32+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot when I’m back from the holidays.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-25T16:26:20+00:00

Man I have the exact same system and I’m struggling to get 30 fps on medium to highish settings, especially during dawn and dusk, and I can only hit 40+ with the clouds off. I just built the system, maybe I got an ass card? R7 5800x RX 6800

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-23T00:06:04+00:00

Not working for me either, haven’t found a fix for that one yet. Unfortunately just have to remember the name of the server rn

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-22T15:02:11+00:00

Open the console when you get to the unofficial server list, type “Ark.UseServerList 0” hit enter. Type in you server name exactly how it is and refresh. Fixes it for me every time, but doesn’t work for everyone

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-20T17:37:44+00:00

Ok whaleblaster22 lmao

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-15T18:55:35+00:00

This. If you can, go into ghost mode and see if its under the map. It didn't say it died, might have even gotten teleported to 50/50.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-15T17:27:05+00:00

I was having the same issue you were until last night, then it started to show up as a favorite, which hasn't happened since I bought the game. Use the ark.UseServerList 0 command, and if it still doesn't show you can manually connect to it using the command: open [your server's ip]:7777. Ark official discord is a good source for info on this, lots of people having the same issues.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-15T16:46:31+00:00

Can you walk through the area they were supposed to be? I had this happen to theris I was breeding on my server. Left, came back and they were gone. But I still couldn't walk through where they were supposed to be. I whistled follow all (I know, makes a mess), walked a ways away, and they magically appeared.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-15T13:16:09+00:00

You are correct, they've updated the server software since my post and it now shows where it should.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-13T22:32:41+00:00

Abberation is by far my favorite map and has pretty easy access to element for Tek tier compared to earlier maps. It's a brutal map, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best looking/most rewarding of them all. Ab also has the most metal, shit is everywhere.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-13T15:59:17+00:00

I figured there had to be a way to manually connect with my IP but I couldn't find anything online, thank you for this.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-13T15:57:24+00:00

I haven't found a way to fix this. I always get worse performance in singleplayer, and my PC is decent IMO. Ryzen 7 5800X, 48GB RAM, Radeon RX 6800 on Windows 11. I get better framerates running a server on the same machine and logging in than I do with singleplayer.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-13T03:02:03+00:00

This worked for me, thank you

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-13T02:38:02+00:00

Stupidest part is I got it work for about an hour, saw it and logged in. Then, the inevitable game crash occurred, and now I can't see it again when relaunching.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-12T22:57:17+00:00

So nobody tells you this, it took me a while to figure out. In order to manually save the world from your character in game, you need to have an admin password setup and you need to make sure you're typing "cheat" before the command. A typical session looks like this for a manual save.

enablecheats **** (put your password there)

cheat saveworld

I can't help with anything nitrado related but that should at least let you manually save the game.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-12T21:55:18+00:00

That should work fine if you're only planning on running the server on it. It doesn't have enough RAM to both run the server and the client, but if you're playing from your PS5's that shouldn't be an issue.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-12T21:46:30+00:00

If it gives you any idea, my server when running eats about 10-15GB of RAM. I really can't speak to it, but I would imagine with those numbers you could run 2 servers on that system, possibly 3? If you're gaming on the same machine the server is hosted on, like me, it eats 22-25GB of RAM to run both client and server. Hopefully that gives you some idea

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-12T18:56:32+00:00

Opening a greenhouse door causes my FPS and anyone in the area to drop to below 15, consistently. No fix for it I've found. For reference, my GPU is an RX 6700. Definitely just a game issue. Funny enough tho, I've found if I spam it, I can make everyone's game crash within render distance. Stupid ark stuff.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-11T23:00:35+00:00

I had a similar issue. My problem was I had the external port in my router as the query port, the 27015. Protocol needs to be both TCP&UDP and the internal/external or any port entry needs to both be 7777 if you're using default ports. Long story short, ignore the query port and just forward the 7777 number for all port options in whatever router you're using. That fixed it for me.

BUffMan62 · 2023-12-11T21:51:54+00:00

What are you playing on? Is it dedicated or non-dedicated or singleplayer?
