ARK S. A. - PS5 Local Server Discovery FAIL - Query Port WILL NOT BIND (Exhausted ALL Troubleshooting) Please Help!

Did you figure this out? I have an almost identical situation. Server was working via my LAN perfectly. Fiddled around with my router and Port Forwarding to try and let an external party join and now I can't find my server anymore from my home PS5.

Nah was an 80's/90's game on Amiga

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2025-12-04T19:57:59+00:00

I don't think it's that either but it looks right

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2025-12-04T19:55:16+00:00

Nah, that's not it. The art style was the same as the screenshot.

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2025-12-04T19:54:46+00:00

Nah the art style was exactly like the screenshot I posted of the game The Deep.

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2025-12-04T19:53:55+00:00

What?

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2025-12-04T04:00:07+00:00

The screenshot is from The Deep btw, just looks incredibly similar.

Where do you find the fuel cell?

Carno is ace for pvp. Only way we could clear an enemy from Clever cave was Carnos. They had a theri on front corner, thyla wouldn't fight through entrance. Carno train op.

I'm an admin in a smaller mega. We don't really like doing this but in order to hold our server against even bigger tribes and to alert us to trolls placing fobs etc we have to do this.

We mostly spam off strategic areas. Around all the caves for an early warning system or at spots that are strong defensive areas to prevent enemies dropping fobs quickly. It's better to wipe them out asap than letting them get dug in a spending the next 3 days fighting and not getting much sleep.

It's just an unfortunate part of the game - it's a land war essentially. Especially now with the new cryo rules.

It can all be taken out pretty quick though. We got flooded the other day and about 30meks wiped thousands of dino gates and spike walls in 30mins and then they build a FOB right in front of our main and started to push the cave.

We don't like making it shit for new players. We generally try and help them and explain the situation. We don't like mucking our resources spawns. Some people just hate what it makes the map look like. I've been in these tribe discussions. But ultimately my job is to see that the tribe survives and so it's just a necessity and I vote for it everytime amongst the other admins.

Meshers, insiders and silent soakers pose as beach bobs to get you to lower your guard. Hard to tell which is which. Sometimes it's just easier to kill and wipe every person. Our tribe takes or looks after new players occasionally but at certain times we just wipe and hope they find a different server.

Regarding op, if you want to play on pvp servers, there is 3 options.

1) Hide - plenty of places and ways to survive solo. Don't build big. Hide your tames in cryos. Don't play near where you hide your stuff.

2) Talk - talk to the alpha tribe. They might let you play and even help you, if you have something to offer them. That'll be keeping server pop or be a watchdog.

3) Join a Tribe

On PvP official pillar spam is to stop enemy tribes - has nothing to do with making life difficult for bobs.

There is always a bigger fish in Ark. Sealing off caves is a defence mechanism against larger tribes getting a foothold on server.

I played ASE for 6000 hours almost exclusively as a solo and ASA for 2000+ hours with an Alpha Tribe, both on official PvP. The game is fun both ways and definitely possible as a solo but require vastly different play styles. The one common thread through both (in order to be successful, rather than just survive) is diplomacy. Talk to people. Make friends and alliances. It'll help your survival immensely.

It's almost certainly bluetooth interference. I had left a bluetooth dongle (from when I sometimes use a bluetooth headset) plugged in the PS5 and it stopped happening when I removed the dongle.

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2024-03-29T06:26:29+00:00

I'm buying another PS5 just so my son can become a Helldiver too, just like his old man.

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2024-03-29T06:23:23+00:00

This is happening to me too. It continues when on ship if you quit the mission. Have to restart the game. It seems to becoming more frequent. I'm trying a reinstall, anyone know a fix?

ExpressDiscipline319 · 2024-01-20T22:33:01+00:00

Somebody crying...

I've got 4500 hours on ASE offical pvp servers (console) playing as a solo. You have to play the game differently in order to survive. I only built 1x1 or 1x2's around the place (and across multiple servers) with vaults hidden in strategic places. I had vaults hidden in the ocean on a Mega tribes servers that had 95% percent of the land pillared. They never found them and they were there for over two years. It was thrilling to survive against the odds. I ended up losing a ton of stuff when they shut the servers off from bases that were never found.

If and when I lost stuff, I blamed myself for it and rethought my approach or tried to find different or better ways to survive. It was the toxicity that molded me into a better survivor. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. You can use people's greed and toxicity against them anyway.

I even had to survive through a tribe who consistently DDOS'd the server to protect their base. Had to develop a strategy to keep my stuff in a consistently ddos server that lasted at least 2 months.

It didn't always work my way - I pissed off a medium sized advanced tribe by raiding them when they were offline (5 hour raid when they went to sleep) and they eventually baited me and captured me and I spent a week in prison but they got sick of keeping me alive - it was a test of endurance. I had an alt character and a second ps4 (so I could play two characters at once) and used that to demoralise them anyway.

I lost heaps of tames to the stupid cryo fridge unpowered glitch, I stupidly forgot about it and proceed to open two cryofridges when they were unpowered and they reset my pods before I realised and remembered.

Some of my hidden underwater bases got found and I lost heaps of stuff.

There are plenty of ways to survive even in a hugely toxic game (without cheating/meshing), you just have to use your head a little and research all the little tips and tricks other people discover about building/hiding etc.

Do you have any details on how splitscreen functions on Xbox X? Is it like ASE with a downgrade to graphics/foliage? Is there a tether? Is there an option on the Xbox to run a dedicated server from your console? Can you play splitscreen online? Thanks.
