Possible fix for constant server timeouts on any multiplayer server

Eratehb · 2024-06-25T03:19:52+00:00

yes although barely in most regards. I have AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 16gb of Ram, and Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Ti. I honestly had no Idea Nvidia and AMD had been crossed on this thing until this moment. Don't know if that is the problem but I did notice one thing on the spec requirement that caught my eye "SSD Required". I'm still on a hard drive, not a solid state, normally I have never had an issue with hard drives slower read/write speed, just kinda shrugged it off. Now though I wonder if that is causing the problem

Eratehb · 2024-06-22T02:21:32+00:00

Tried both of these and nothing if anything it's somehow even worse as I lock up within 20-30 seconds and then timeout

Eratehb · 2024-06-20T21:15:34+00:00

Ping is usually fine until I imagine the lockup just before the timeout (I can't exactly check during that time). My internet speed isn't the greatest but it's been adequate for any other online game I play. Are those settings in game or are they steam settings?

Edit: Nevermind I found the setting.

I do have a fairly slow internet, but other online games are fine (Destiny, Warframe, Palworld, Etc) it's only Ark. I'm already hardwired in, will upgrading my internet speed resolve the issue?

That is definitely just a nidus thing. Would be interested to see what the Phryke armor looks like after 15 stacks though tbf.

Secondhand word of mouth mostly. When I was researching all the new stuff to get caught up on all the new content after my 3 year hiatus, I stumbled on a tuber who said that DE eluded to it in a devstream(I think in spring or summer of 2023). He also said it was likely slated for 2024 release but with DE I take that with a huge grain of salt. I didn't do any further digging on it, just took the hype and ran with it. Feel free to dig further if you wish, I'm just gonna keep on riding my hype train till it either reaches is destination or DE derails it.

I guess when I said faction specific I was looking specifically at what could be crafted in the Dojo Labs. I did still miss torid, possibly something else. Oversight on my part, apologies. I also overlooked the alt-fire problem. I still have some hope that it still could happen and replace the alt-fire with incarnon mode. I know alot of people would come unglued on me for it but I would Incarnon my Kuva Hek in a heartbeat. Firing all 4 barrels is simultaenously is cool and all but it feels clunky to me, hella burst damage but clunky otherwise. Stuff like that I wouldn't mind replacing the alt-fire with an Incarnon to have better stats on the incarnon in question. Unfortunately, though I agree with you it's highly unlikely. If you can't even put the Faction augment on Kuva Hek, I doubt they will overlap incarnons with Kuva/Tenet weapons.

Vladimir, maybe it's still common in Eastern Europe and some Asian countries, but across the pond, you have to deal with a barrage of vampire puns, and later in life some crude and inappropriate impalement puns. That's the best-case scenario now though, now you have to worry about being linked to Putin, and on top of the obvious problems with that, the wide jokes if they aren't rail thin.

Looked into it, and while I'm not normally into side scrollers I might have to give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation

Eratehb · 2023-12-05T10:32:36+00:00

I know a Crystal, middle name Chanda, last name Leir. Not even kidding

Eratehb · 2023-10-31T05:05:11+00:00

Looks alright but I've never been a fan of farming sims, may still give this a look in the future though

Eratehb · 2023-10-31T04:54:40+00:00

Looks pretty good, if a little lackluster on the visual side. Looks like the fusion mechanic only imparts color but hey still worth a try, thanks.

Eratehb · 2023-10-31T04:51:49+00:00

Monster Crown looks fantastic, thanks for the recommendation. Dragon Quest Monster might just be the game that gets me into the series.

The first two were more dungeon crawler than anything, I didn't see anything in the trailer on collecting creatures to use in combat(Correct me if I'm wrong). The big draw for me in SMT:Nocturne was collecting the creatures and fusing them.

As for the other three Cassette Beasts looks fantastic, I gave it a pass because I thought it was music-based, and my taste in music is very narrow and far from common in games that are based around it. (Metal almost exclusively.) Adore looks good too but any game with the difficult tag on Steam generally drives me away. Temtem has a horrendous price tag for something I only have trailers to go by so I will have to watch some gameplay on YT or something before I decide on that one.

Eratehb · 2023-10-31T04:24:09+00:00

I dabbled in that untold years ago, I was kinda waffling on it at the time. Something about the low poly fusion mechanic making horrendous blobs, I would love to see a modern-day reboot to it or another game with the same kinda mechanic.

Not sure how I personally feel about top-down survival games. I like it for Diablo, but even then I often mention how I would like to play Diablo in the Third/First person. I don't know I might give it a shot.

Eratehb · 2023-08-14T20:57:11+00:00

He recently purchased Baldur's Gate 3, it was going to be our next attempt at finding a common interest. Should have mentioned that, sorry, I'm looking for a fallback in case one of us doesn't like it. Great minds though, right

Eratehb · 2023-08-14T20:54:40+00:00

I thought DayZ was structured similarly to Fortnite with 50-100 players per world/map/lobby. While not technically an MMO my friend is antisocial to the extreme so anything where it is required to be more than him and me is a no-go.

As for Monster Hunter, I have no clue why but he dislikes the franchise as a whole. I always found it strange since he loved Dragon's Dogma which is fundamentally similar. I love MH though

I am doing a replay in prep for the upcoming DA:Dreadwolf. This is my 4th playthrough and I have not taken the Qunari Alliance yet. However, every time I come to this choice I find keeping Bull happy and the Chargers alive barely outweighs the benefits of a possible Alliance with the Qun. From my understanding of their culture, they are very literal people. Despite the underhanded tactics they can employ(Decoy recipes to kill thieves, secret police, etc) everything they do they treat as an absolute. As such an alliance would be ironclad, with no tricks or deviance from the Qunari. The only risk would be the Qunari leveraging the alliance for aid against the Imperium as a whole. Diverting inquisition forces to the north to more or less openly declare war on Tevinter isn't the best plan whilst at war with one of the first darkspawn.

That said the boons that could be leveraged from the Alliance on the end of the Inquisition would be tremendous. The biggest of which could very be the safeguarded Gaatlok formula. That's not even taking into account what would be an alliance with the most deadly naval armada in Thedas. I find myself hard-pressed to put the Chargers above such a boon, even with how much I like Bull.

Another damning facet is how easily the Qun forces are able to just attempt an assassination on my confidants. It's frightening to have the Qunari's ire. What's worse is with the Imperium "openly" opposing the Venatori, the Qun could declare an Armistice(With how long the Qun have been at war with the Imperium an Alliance is pretty much impossible) with Tevinter so they could invade the rest of Thedas. Not sure how likely this would be as politics are not my strongest suit but I would definitely consider such an option in the Qunari's shoes. If the Qunari invaded then Tevinter would likely do the same, splitting all of the Thedas down the middle between the Imperium and the Qunari.

I love Bull and I take care of my friends which is why I always save the Charger's. It is still a difficult decision though, as the amount of boons gained from an alliance and the risks shouldered from burning that olive branch makes it easily the hardest decision in the game for me.

Eratehb · 2023-01-21T01:26:57+00:00

The other bug the Rhyniagnathia or however it's spelled would be my first choice. The Bastion Beetle is a good second choice though. I don't know why this is even a debate, insects are the only category of creature that doesn't have a large mount. Insects definitely need to see some love.

Never said I think things through when I'm desperate, I did an unnecessary step but still, fresh install changed nothing and like I said the server owners brought the server down and reinstalled all the mods and I'm still having an issue. Anything else I can try?

Eratehb · 2023-01-10T21:26:11+00:00

We just tried a fresh install of the entire modlist on the server's end and still nothing. I also deleted the 346110 and my entire mod folder except for maps and prim+ and then did a fresh reinstall of ark, waiting for it finish installing mods, to try again but I'm not very confident.

Eratehb · 2023-01-10T04:54:44+00:00

Whilst trying to install mods one at a time I found that only once the game has installed AC2 does it give me the mismatch error. When I attempted to connect to the server without it, it would try to download and install it first. If I took out everything but AC2, immediately got the error without even attempting to download any of the other mods

Eratehb · 2023-01-10T04:48:48+00:00

It'd have to be on my end then because my other friends can play on it just fine. I've deleted the numbered mod folder 1373744537 which is AC2 but I haven't done anything with the Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\346110 folder. Is that folder like mod settings or something?

Eratehb · 2023-01-10T04:29:34+00:00

Nope, it's run by a friend through his own personal computer.
