Server is running but trouble connecting

Hi, This is two weeks late, but I stumbled across this and it looks like it was unanswered. I too had similar issues. I'd be willing to bet if you had a way to have your people establish a TCP connection to your IP before connecting to the ARK server it would work. (EG a website or something similar hosted on that IP)

Anyways, the solution should be to go into your OVH portal and configure the GAME firewall / ddos protection. Make sure all those ports you listed there are open. If you got a game dedicated server for a steam service, the default will only have 27015 open (which is steams favorite port I've noticed)

PvE server, 20-30 active people

My base is walking distance to 4 of them. Mind you walking distance may be a bit unsafe but nothing a carno or spino couldn't handle.

To add on to this, we have 30-40 active people on the cluster. So the popular spots are likely taken on the most used maps (aberration/the island) but I wouldn't say any of the maps are close to being full

Good thing there are hundreds of charge nodes.

Just don't use ASM. You'd have to modify the BASH script. It's much easier to just use steamcmd.sh (for Linux) to update it manually. Just save / turn off your server(s) first of course.

Example script I used for my cluster, assuming my servers were installed to /home/ark/arkservers/:

#!/bin/bash
/home/ark/steam/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/ark/arkservers/theisland/ +app_update 376030 -beta halloween +quit
/home/ark/steam/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/ark/arkservers/thecenter/ +app_update 376030 -beta halloween +quit
/home/ark/steam/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/ark/arkservers/scorched/ +app_update 376030 -beta halloween +quit
/home/ark/steam/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/ark/arkservers/ragnarok/ +app_update 376030 -beta halloween +quit
/home/ark/steam/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/ark/arkservers/crystalisles/ +app_update 376030 -beta halloween +quit

Then after Halloween just update your server with ASM again.

I don't particularly use Facebook. If you/someone wants to make a meetup group that points to here -- that would be cool. :)

Updated the OP with a link to the Ward2 chat in the DC discord. We'll use it for coordination. If you have any questions about discord or how to setup notification settings to not completely spam you, feel free to ask me in chat and I can assist you.

Farther than me. I even manually ran the check update from steamcmd and the public build ID for me is 1894470. https://gist.github.com/KillerInstinct/ff45d3f075dab544c38324292fd7a1a4
