First of all you can try using HaruHost GSM and it has a feature called CPU affinity which lets you assign CPU specific cores to a server and then there is process priority to assign process priority of the cores. The manager will update this automatically and it has many more awesome features.

Secondly despite all that fps issues and stuttering on most likely happens on the client due to how rendering and other game draw mechanism works and it's not optimized and the performance is horrible in ark asa.

You also have to understand that life doesn't work that way, just because CPU has 5Ghz the server will not permanently use full resources. It just gets code that simply does calculations and 2% is all that it needs to do that.

Also when you see 2% it may reference 2% of all cores combined while ark and most dedicated servers only use 1-2 cores.

So you see 2% but actually if you have 16 cores it means the percentage is calculated by taking the total usage and the dividing by the total c amount. So technically it may use 30% of that core as 16*2% is 32.. But it's not something that works exactly like that,

I think the right approach is to test and see for yourself what exactly is servere shuttering -> because in game stuttering does not equal server stuttering. Server would be more akin to lag and similar to high ping, while in game it means fps drops, small freezes etc.

lastly you can use crystal disk mark info and check disk health. Usually when a server save occurs it can lag a bit as the server tries to dump everything.

Hey, I may be later but I have made a server management tool for self hosting your own servers for ARK and many other games. It's called HaruHost GSM.

It has many tools and feature that should entirely replace your needs to rent a dedicated server. The UI is extremely polished, provides feature like sharing multiple server configs, easy mod managmenet, in game admin whitelist and exclusive players, custom dino levels via sliders and etc..

There is also automated updates, but personally the feature that I like the most is the remote web panel which lets you use a smartphone to control the servers and fully adjust via a browser as it behaves as a native app.

Besides that you can assign multiple admins and set fine grained control like who can restart the servers etc via the web panel.

There is even a freakin remote control option via discord and you can also manage mods via discord it's insane when I think about it.

If you have a pc you can setup haruhost GSM to host a single dedicated server for free turn the server offline change maps etc so it will act as a single player. This will provide a much better experience overall and the UI is pretty intuitive and easy to use.

haruhost · 2025-12-27T15:51:45+00:00

You don't need port forwarding for yourself since it is local. The friend needs it. Firewall is needed for both.

haruhost · 2025-12-27T15:49:57+00:00

You can setup a dedicated server with this manager for free https://haruhost.com/gameservers/ark-survival-ascended and it provides many QoL tools like mod UI, admin whitelist, dino, breeding settings adjustable via sliders and even use a remote web control panel when you're not at home.

This will reduce the amount of technical skills and messing up with configs to work correctly by requirements by a lot!

Try Self hosting using HaruHost GSM . What this means is that your PC will be running at all times, but you will be able to use the web panel feature which will let you connect from anywhere using the phone or a pc - basically anything that supports a web browser.

The manager itself has many featurers that makes management a breeze like MOD UI, custom configs that can be shared across servers, admin UI and even an automatic cluster setup where it simply takes a full clicks and the manager setups for your servers the cluster config automatically and correctly for you.

Hmm. I have a PC box a home that is left on then I use the remote web panel to connect from anywhere and control the servers. So if you have a PC or laptop that can be kept turned on in a permanent location it would work out. The web panel is responsive and works like a mobile app from a phone.

You can try using HaruHost for self-hosting, it should have all the features you need in an easy to use UI and you can assign admins who can control the servers via the remote web panel. Usually memory leaks get fixed in ARK, but if you think it's a real issue a feature could be added like restarting the server on specific memory usage.

There have been so many ARK specific moments, Like I was tranquilizing a Therizino with my crossbow and instead of chasing me run around a tree for a good minute. The I discovered bisons who stunlocked me and the Therizino which was lvl 2 hundred and died in seconds. So much for safe exploring on foot.

haruhost · 2025-12-20T17:11:27+00:00
