Mouser

YAY! My Ark is no longer unknown! It has a start button again! I have clicked Start, lets see if it starts up!

I found the thread. In the Lounge section of the Forum, the top pinned thread is for Server Unknown statuses. I guess it's not unusual. You add your own post to the end of the thread with ticket number and server number and they look at it faster.

Server #144774 Ticket #696848 Ark Server Unknown this morning when I woke up. Was working yesterday.

Mouser bangs his head on the desk. "Naturally, on the first day my friends are coming over. I hope they get it fixed quickly. thanks for telling me it's not just me. I read the Ark thread here and didn't see anything about it, I must have missed yours."

So this morning I get up and my server is in Unknown state under details. Start, Stop, and Restart are grayed out. I've tried doing a save and restart and it's still in unknown and today is the day for my friends to get on. Anyone know what to do to get it going again? Thanks, Jeff

Well this is really annoying. My Ark Server has crashed several times today, and each time it has taken what seems like forever to come back up. So I went to enter a ticket on it.. and it keeps saying the Captcha is invalid even when it's not, so I can't open a ticket. Naturally, tomorrow is my big day with lots of friends to play together for the first time on my server. *sigh* What a day.

Maybe it fixed my problem and maybe it didn't. My server just crashed again.

Whoops, it's up now. It looks like the solution for me was to stop it, then start it again. But it sounds like you already did that.

Mine is stuck in loading as well. I was in the middle of playing it and lost connection a bit after 10am. I noticed it was stopped, so started it. It was then loading for a VERY long time. I then tried stopping and starting it. Still on loading.
