Unfortunatly this did not solve the problem so I created a ticket. Hopefully it will be able to be fixed in a fairly quick timeframe. It seems that the usage of a custom map is unnecessarily complicated and needs to be streamlined via the control panel to make it easier for us server admins to make changes.

I have been trying literally for hours to set up my server with the custom Thieves Island map and have followed the instructions and still have been unable to find the server in ark after it is supposedly setup and is running. Here are the custom parameters that I setup. I need to know what might be wrong and how to fix it. All my settings in game are correct and should allow me to see my server but it is not showing up for whatever reason and I am unable to figure it out. Thieves?Multihome=23.228.222.167?Port=18715?QueryPort=18716?SessionName=MJKServer?MaxPlayers=10?listen?ServerPassword=**********?ServerAdminPassword=**********?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=18717?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk35685?MapModID=651147582?GameModIDs=833379388,630601751,731604991,558079412,756389708,802922362,730794403,633831197,679529026,626844019,764755314,750483861,870709781,816908578,866719397,880887081,554678442,774762563,592595740,708807240,719928795,722649005,671591278,815306540,609380111,760067652,760884349,793605978,677673057,686599588,821530042,834667662,812655342,807946158,813463849,751650026,558651608,751991809,497432858,835113702,872828437,852512550,854186603,835141106

How do I add more mods when I have come to the end of the text field for the MOD ID's? I have 52 mods but not enough room to enter all of their ID's in the field.

Some way to switch maps but keep our progress saved on other maps without having to download and upload the saved folder via ftp. Maybe some type of toggle to select the saved folder we want to use or link it to the map selection drop down so it automatically loads the correct folder on startup.

Wonderful! Thank you both very much for your help. Being a noob at this it's really nice to see a community with such helpful members, I'm not used to this kind of assistance with many other games these days. Thanks again, Greatly Appreciated

This may have been covered already but I missed it if it was. I am looking to switch to the Scorched Earth map but keep our progress on the Island map. How would I go about doing that? Please keep in mind this is my first time running a server and a detailed explanation would be most appreciated. Also we are not looking to transfer over our characters levels or anything, just wanting to start fresh on a different map, not sure if that makes a difference.

Wonderful, Thank you very much.

I have gotten this crash a few times since I've started playing Ark, started about a week or so ago and It's happened probably a handful of times but I haven't worried about it too much seeing as it hasn't been a constant thing, maybe once a day. Does anyone know what it is referring to? All my drivers are up to date and as far as I am aware I have no problems with my PC. https://gyazo.com/ef009f4e6d4f6504c5eb65f71d30a190

Ok, before I edit anything else I'll go watch some videos and make sure I know what not to mess with before i attempt anything else. Thanks again, I really appreciate the help.

Wonderful! Thank you very much for your help! Now that I know a little bit about what I'm doing I feel dangerous lol.

But yet now I see looking at those screenshots I linked it says hardcore is set to true....how would I fix that if the online config is unchecked but the .ini is saying true

As far as I am aware that has been unchecked the entire time. Was the first think I looked at when we started having this problem.

I'm hoping those are what you were looking for. The first one is the game.ini and the second is the GameUserSettings.ini files
