Joining a password protected server, when you input the password, you need to hit Enter, as the Accept button doesn't respond.

Thanks Deez!

try removing the ? in front of the command in the gameusersettings.ini.  Some of the commands seem to need it, others don't.  It worked for me when I removed the ? placemarker.

Hey Ryan,
 
Would it be possible to get the Control Panel to show the current version, like the ARK ones do? So I can be sure if a small update went through properly, etc.
 
Thanks!

Hah, you are welcome. I think a lot of people overlook those.

Backups are not corrupted. It's possible the save world data within the backups is corrupted but the backup system itself is not.

Something I would recommend doing is when playing, maybe before you log off, do an admin command to save the server.   When you do that, go check the server file to ensure that it did save, and then simply transfer a copy of the saved file/files (You can easily transfer the saved folder too) to your desktop/laptop, so you have a copy of it.  Granted, you shouldn't have to do this, but it will save you a headache like above should that ever happen again.   

Good luck!

This is currently being worked on and coming soon @badgirl

The $0.48 / slot is for our 100 slot option which is labeled on that CompareGameHosting page.
 
We don't have the cheapest low slot prices but we have the most advanced control panel so you are getting what you pay for.

Hey Ryan and the rest of you at Survival Servers....
 
 
GREAT JOB!!  THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRODUCT AND LOTS OF HOURS DEALING WITH US!

For those of us running clusters, any way we can get the control panel to function more like we have 2 seperate servers in regards to whats displayed, what controls we have, etc?  I've had some instances where one server in my cluster crashed but not the other, and there is no way to tell from the control panel what is going on with the second clustered server.  It would also be nice to be able to configure them seperately tho I know currently the way clusters work that might be a nightmare you guys aren't ready to take on.  At minimum tho it would be nice to be able to stop/restart/etc the individual instances, see they are running, etc.

Checking right now, I'll let you know.
 
UPDATE: Apparently it is just a launch param and the difficulty offset is unrelated. You can use a mod to up dino/player levels until we release the ability to customize your cluster with launch parameters.

Bugs are definitely frustrating, but it is a part of technology/gaming.  No matter how much testing is done, something always comes up and requires fixing!  So deep breaths and let the folks who are working their butts off and long hours figure out the fixes.  This crew has been great trying to get us the best experience available, it will get there, we just have to be a little bit patient
 
It will get better and smoother.   And the server not responding at all is probably something you should put an actual support ticket in on if you haven't already.  

I've added a section for Known Issues / Bugs which solve a couple of the questions mentioned here.

Ryan, the new perm solution, does it lock down the character transfer portions so you can only transfer between the two?  I cannot seem to find this info anywhere as thats pretty much the most important part of it to me on if I can go that route soon for my players or not.  There is no 'server whitelist' or equivalent that I can find so pretty much need a way to allow my players to transfer back and forth from the 2 servers in the cluster, but NOT allow transfers to the server from the outside.  I want outside NEW players, but not outside max level max engram ppl who cheated in single player with admin abilities.
 
Any chance you know how to whitelist like this?  Maybe the NoTransferFromFiltering has something to do with this maybe?
 
Man I wish the devs gave us better documentation and walkthroughs when they enable fairly complex new systems like this.  Or at least get one of their guys who has proper technical document writing skills to do the walkthrough/guide so it isnt missing steps and half explained. lol.

well, heck, thats what I get for not reading everything huh?    Sorry!! 

I'm posting this because it took me hours to research the different fixes and I foudn one that's worked for me, and all of the people using my server so far.

CLIENT SIDE:
just because you used the Center map before, doesnt mean it works now, the Center map has been removed from the Workshop, but that does not remove it from your computer or subscriptions!

Step 1 - UNSUBSCRIBE! - go to the workshop for ARK and browse subscriptions, find The Center (it will not work if you search for it) and click the unsubscribe button

Step 2 - Right click on ARK Survival Evolved! and select properties - go to the 'Local Files' Tab and select 'Browse local files'. Then go to  ShooterGame>Content>Mods and find the folder labeled 614734500 - DELETE THIS FOLDER

Step 3 - restart your steam. I restarted my computer just to be safe, but others reported restarting steam worked for them.

Step 4 - go to the Steam store and download the ARK DLC that is the Free Center Map addon.
NOTE: when clicking the download button it does seem to start the ark game, but also started the download of the content at the same time (shows as a 1.1GB update download) - LEAVE THE GAME RUNNING WHILE DOWNLOADING. I'm not sure if its necassary, but some have reported that closing the client while the download was going on stoped the download.

you should now be able to restart the client and start playing the game with the new map. Keep in mind, official servers for this map will not be up for a few hours yet.


SERVER SIDE:
Same as the CLIENT SIDE - just because you have the mod installed doesnt mean it will work.

Depending on the type of server/provider you are uding, you may need to do the same steps as above (delete the content, then update the server files afterwards.)
For myself, I use Survivalservers.com who has not yet updated the control panel to allow for the new map to be selected, but they have the files updated.

Step 1: make sure the client is up to date - 241.1 should be what it reads, if you see anything lower, update the server.

Step 2: change your launch parameters - for mine I left everything the saem EXCEPT the beginning part right before the "Multihome=", so my launch perameters look like this:

/Game/Mods/TheCenter/TheCenter?Multihome=[the rest of the normal startup stuff]
 or
TheCenter?Multihome=[the rest of the normal startup stuff]

Restart the server, and connect - its worked so far!

Best wishes!
 

Thanks Ryan!
