it's "admincheat saveworld"  not "cheat saveworld"
 
"cheat saveworld" is for local servers not hosted servers.

Q. Why can't I see my server on the steam list.
A. - Make sure your server files are updated by clicking the ARK update drop down and select Yes, Run update. Wait for it to complete the cycle.
 
- Wait about 5-10 mins to see your server on the list.  I have had a steady 70-90 people online for hours doing these steps.
 
- Make sure your server name only has characters and numbers. Using the following (") (') (#) infront of your server name will cause it to not appear on the server list as of patch 1.601. Staff was already notified and its on the ToDo list.
 
 
Q. My server shows it's offline.
A. Make sure you did not alter the custom launch settings and your server is updated on steam. You might have to update the server a few times. This has happened to me and I solved it by updating the server using the "yes,run update"
 
 
 
Q. My server shows 103 players out of 100.
A. Players on your server have crashed or quit the game using alt+f4. By default, your sever will hold their data in the game waiting for them to return before a set amount of time expires.
 
 
 
Thanks to the staff who are working around the clock to solve these issues.
 
 
 
 
 
If you have other questions, post them. I might be able to help. I have been running this server pretty solid for the last few hours. So far the most players online was 107 out of 100 =).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Moon is a streamer as you said and was given his server 24 hours in advance to help promote the game. Lirik, Cohh and other got it too.
 
This is a message i got in an email from survival servers:
 
 
Sounds like there was a distro error when the devs sent the servers files to hosts and both parties are working to resolve the issue. I checked with another host I use for RoK and their servers have not come online either so this isnt strictly limited to Survival Servers.
 
Edit: Im waiting as well too, dont think I have ever hit a refresh button as much as I have tonight but I dont think the host is to blame necessairly. If anyone the devs needed to help the hosts better prepare. From what I understand the devs kept hosts in the dark untill the game went public so they know as much as we did when it launched.

I too am frustrated but in this case I don't think that Survival Servers deserve all the blame. We'll get our servers soon I'm sure
