Diggs

I just had my server switched. The first server showed in the Ark Session menu but, not now. This is a Steam issue? Other domain servers don't have the problem but, Survivals does? How so? It works once but, not twice? C'mon now.

Using the above method, I did not need to add a "1" to the port. When adding a "1" it could not find the server. Leaving the number as is worked. Done as of the date of this posting.

The new Ragnarok PvE server 'DIGGS DOMAIN' now up and running! Featuring: 20xXP/20xhar/10xtame/40xcraft, etc. Breeding and incubation times increased as well. Hosting the following mods: ===================== Castles,Keeps,and Forts Medieval Architecture:764755314 Castle Collection:752101244 SM Better Greenhouse bundle v. 1.5:935416976 Eco's Garden Decor:880871931 Classic Flyers:895711211 Upgrade Station:821530042 No Durability Armor Sets:800058338 Stack Plus (v1.0.4):621154190 Mutitool:692214143 Meat spoiler:569786012 Wooden hanging bridge:893834064 Dino Tracker:924933745 Elevator Plus:779245247 Egg & Poop Collector:554678442 Bulk Crafter:633831197 Death Recovery Mod (v1.7.3):751991809 Conquer the Seas: 880947262 Tek Bench:866719397 Awesome Teleporters:889745138 172.106.174.30

I noticed that now, the ARK version is displayed in the first column of the control panel, rather than forcing us to go through a link to search for it.. When was this added in? That is awesome, guys. Thanks!

Okay, I did the above. However, when entering the game I find I have to create a new character. The character from my server is not to be found. I also found most of my structures to be intact yet, everything created using mods was gone. IE, work-stations, items/structures created with said mods, etc. What file needs to be copied/modified to get my character from the server in the game and, what do I need to do to restore everything exactly as it is on the server? Where do I place the .ini files as well? Thanks for the help.

Thanks. I eventually found the post relating to the back-up. I'd still like to know how to get it to play in SP. If anyone has a clue?

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere before but, I've not found it. I'd like to know how to back-up all my server/player game files to my comp. I'd also like to know if there is a way to load these files into SP and run them? Thanks all.

I got it to work by placing the line in my ini. file. It took some configuring to get it right. Not sure what was causing it to be over-written but, I finally got it to take.

I'm running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit AMD A8-3800 APU Quadcore 2.40GHZ 6.0 GB RAM GPU - Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 w/2gbs GDDR5 I have my resolution set the same as yours at the 1920x1080 setting. I did the resolution reset fix, to no avail. I am using med. settings, no light shaft or bloom, ground clutter and sky effects dialed way back. Can't set it at high to epic or I can't even move. Blurred textures back in force as well as a lot of stuttering in the game. sometimes, it freezes up from 10-30 seconds,occasionally longer. I've not tried your above solution. What problem were you trouble-shooting? Did it affect any of the conditions I mentioned? Thanks.

I too have this same issue. In fact, I dropped a rex egg today to incubate. Immediately upon putting it down, it disappeared. Total shite. The game gets more broken by the day.

Since ARK's last patch, I have noticed an extreme increase in lag, some rubber-banding, freezing up and, blurry textures. It ran fine for awhile. Now...........it's becoming almost unplayable again. This is on medium settings. No other changes to the server. The fps problem(I'm assuming it's an fps problem) has gotten to the point where I freeze up for anywhere from 15-60 seconds. I've entered the game several times in the last day to find the blurred textures issue. It is unfixable. Nothing affects it. I've completely shut the game down and started fresh. Same issues. Even re-starting my comp, which by the way is complete B.S. as you shouldn't have to re-start your comp because a game sucks so bad, has had no noticeable improvement. How many others have seen increased performance problems since the last patch, where they supposedly fixed memory issues and increased optimization?

How do you know what version of ARK is running on your server? Clicking on the '?????' box doesn't tell you anything. It simply takes you to the forum post that takes you to another Steam post that you have to dig through to find the latest version. We need to know what version is being run on our server at the time. Also, the servers are not auto-updating. Mine was set to 'As needed'. As needed means when their is a new patch, to install it. The patch released yesterday morning (8/16/17) and the server auto-restarts at 7:30pm pst. It did NOT update. Not good. Not good at all.

How do you un-select it? I can't seem to find that option anywhere.

I too, have had some of the same issues. I manually entered and saved changes made to the ini files. They worked at first but, now they are gone? How is that even possible? Surely, mods can't make changes to an ini file. Something else is going on. and, it's bothersome.

Yes, quite a few engrams learned. Not all but, many. Or at least from my perspective. Can't speak for the other players. I'll have to ask. There a way to go back and re-set engrams and just learn the ones we really need?

Thanks for that. I managed, after much frustration, to increase thy dino levels. Did the 'destroywilddinos' command but, had to repeat it a few times for it to set properly, which also crashed the server. The levels SEEM to be right. For now. *crosses fingers*

This has been happening for a good week and a half at least. Several changes: updates, patches, mods being added/removed have taken place with items disappearing on a daily basis. I can't see meat spoiler being the cause because all the items I lost had nothing to do with meat spoiler. As far as Stack+? It didn't affect stacked items I had in Supercrafter nor, the materials I harvested and placed in my cabinets which Stack+ affects as well. Not saying it couldn't affect it randomly, I just find it very strange that all the meat and sparkpowder I gathered and cooked the old-fashioned way were affected. Also, how would these mods contribute to the loss of other things like industrial forges, fabricators, etc? Also, it should be noted I've been getting error 'Network failure - Outgoing reliable buffer overflow' From what I've read, this error contributes to a loss of items.

So all, I've had an issue with random items coming up missing upon logging into the game each day. For instance, last night as of this writing, I had cooked a few thousand meat, crafted the same amounts of spark-powder and narcotics and, stored them in their respective bins. Upon logging in today, I found ALL of these items gone. Everything I placed in bins, everything that was in camp-fires, all of it gone. Weird thing is, certain items I placed after creating said items, still exist. Structures put down after were still there. I've also had other players on my server complain of the same issues and missing items like industrial forges, fabricators, etc. It's happening every day. Anyone else experiencing these issues? I'm not sure if it's a mod causing this but, that is my assumption. Anyone know of any mods that might be causing this? Here is a list of the mods currently running on the server: Castles,Keeps,and Forts Medieval Architecture:764755314 Super Crafter 2.0:1078774859 SM Better Greenhouse bundle v. 1.5:935416976 Eco's Garden Decor:880871931 Classic Flyers:895711211 Upgrade Station:821530042 No Durability Armor Sets:800058338 Stack Plus (v1.0.4):621154190 Mutitool:692214143 Meat spoiler:569786012 Wooden hanging bridge:893834064 Dino Tracker:924933745 Kwakas JukeBox (TEK TIER THEME):788511607 Castle_Collection:752101244 Elevator Plus:779245247 Egg & Poop Collector:554678442 Bulk Crafter:633831197 Death Recovery Mod (v1.7.3):751991809 Has anyone had any issues with items disappearing while using any of the above and, did removing it fix the issue? Could be something else entirely causing the issue. Any help greatly appreciated all.

I am just as frustrated with this issue. Too many threads stating to make similar changes but, with no clear explanation. I have seen several people say to place "?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10" in the usersettings.ini through FTP. Others say don't use the '?' in front of it. Yet someone else says to place the over-ride command in the launch parameter box. Which is it, people? To begin with, i only had dinos up to maybe level 40, tops, anywhere on the map. Before any changes were made to this option. Then i added in a mod to increase the dino level to 500. Not only did that NOT work, now level 1's were spawning everywhere, with nothing higher. So, I took that mod out and entered the aforementioned commands of, 'ShowFloatingDamageText=True' and 'OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10.0' into the 'GameUserSettings.ini', at the very top of the file, directly after and, underneath of [serverSettings](typed exactly as shown). I saved and re-started the server. Once again, level 1 dinos everywhere. Two level 40 Trikes did spawn but, then only level 1's pretty much everywhere else, including a LvL 1 Titan. Nice. So..........we NEED a clear-cut solution to this issue. For those of us new to all this server config stuff, could we find a solution with one clear-cut remedy, in layman's terms? Either through the use of the Control Panel or, FTP. Pics would help. I know many are struggling with the same issues. I've pulled out all but one plug of hair. I'm reaching for it now............................
