Server #11053 has been stopping and/or going into Unknown status for the past few days. Twice today alone.

Hey guys -- just wanted to second the motion for a feature to choose what time the server restarts. Restarting at 9pm in the evening when you're playing with all your friends is butts. =P

Hey, would it be possible to get a "Memory Used" read-out on the control panel? I suspect that something in Ark has a memory leak, but I can't track that down and do my own troubleshooting because I can't see how much ram my server is currently consuming.

I have a lot of the same issues, but they're not currently admitting that this is a problem for some reason.

Interesting. I'll look into the auto-save interval, that might help. I was mostly just upset that I was trying to start a new server, and I was bleeding the precious few players that I had, because the server had been branded "unstable", because nobody could just get on and play -- it was (and is) a constant on-going fight to keep the server online. And even when it's online, it often times out and simply doesn't respond to login attempts. I have no idea what to do. Do you think moving to a dedicated host is my only option at this point?

Hey guys, Sorry if this comes out as more of a rant, but I've opened multiple support tickets and nothing ever really gets better. I've had the server for less than two months, and I've spent almost every day dealing with server problems. Problems to date: Random server crashes/disconnects: Everybody will be booted from the server, and be given timeout errors when attempting to re-connect. This happens in the middle of the day without warning, so it's not the nightly reboot. Long lag spikes: Every 10 or 15 minutes, the game will completely stop for 10-20 seconds. After this massive lag spike, you'll be jumped back to where-ever you were standing before the lag started. This pretty much makes any trip out into the wild super, super dangerous, because lag spikes can murder you if you're in combat with something. Constant rubber-banding: This was fixed somewhat by going up to a faster CPU server, but why would I have to request this? You advertise lag-free servers, and it was unplayable by a single person until I opened a support ticket. Server takes 2-3 hours to reboot. What in the world is it doing for 2-3 hours? Every time I need to do small configuration change, I have to give up playing ARK for the evening because it'll be restarting. I could literally download the entire game server and install it in less time than it takes for your server to simply restart. What gives, guys? I love your control panel, etc, and I really do want to like you -- but I've been through hell and back just trying to get a stable ARK server running. What's up with that? Server: 11053

Yeah, I'm having this issue too. It's hard to get people into your server if they have to manually add your IP address via steam. =/ Pretty lame.
