  1. you can always ftp in and download the save files.   easiest way to transfer is if you have a cluster setup you can just upload to obelisk.      Other than that I would say you would need to make a backup, upload everything to the obelisk, change the map, go to the obelisk and download everything.   You would need to make sure allow tribute downloads is allowed.

    Didn't expect to play the game before it came out.  But "pre" load, would imply that at release the game data had been pre loaded onto the server already no?
    But the instructions themselves say an 800mb update and, well, when the game does come out, I'll have to "load" the server correct?

    So, I'm just curious where the "Pre" aspect of the "Preload" is in the advertisement?

    I'm not mad, I'm asking for clarification.

    some of the files are already there if you check your ftp server there is a genesis folder.    I would imagine some got loaded while others will still be patched when the update goes live.  much like when you pre-load a game you buy there is always a day 1 patch.

    I think what he is talking about is the release of Genesis on their servers for us to use, not the actual release date of the map itself. Genesis will come out at 4 PM PST and most likely at 6 PM PST on Survival Servers.

    I hope not.  was really wanting to get started right away.   I did notice the folders for it are already there on the ftp server.

     

  4. Questions to ask are how long ago did you start it, what version of Ark is it running?  Sometimes if the server is just started it might not be visible in the ingame server browser and you have to add it through the steam server browser.  Which you access by right clicking your steam icon in the taskbar and choosing the servers option.

     

    If it is running an older version of the server that will also keep people from connecting and you would need to run Ark update.

  5. Pretty sure it auto bills the credit card you used to purchase the server in the first place.  Barring that log into your account, click my account and see if auto bill is enabled.  If it is then you have nothing to worry about.  If it isn't then you will get an option to pay it under invoices I believe.  

     

    I have mine on auto bill so not sure on manual payments.

  6. Setting the time for auto restarts instead of just a range.  IE set it to restart at 4:00 am instead of 24 hours from when I last restarted it.  Also automated save and server broadcast at restart.  IE auto save world, do a server announcement that the world is coming down for a reboot, the reboot it.  Not sure if the message is possible but the setting the exact time and the auto save before restart would rock.  

  7. I just turned off auto restarts and manually do it every day now when no one is on to update.   I did have an issue where I could not get the world to save even with the commands the other day for some reason.  I have not tried it yet since the update to 177 since I haven't rebooted today.  I really wish they would give us an option to change the delay though.  Oh and for the auto restarts let us choose a time instead of just a range.  IE I can tell mine to reboot every morning.
