Ryan Pennington 359 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Still lookin' - if there's no intervention on your server, no staff member is looking at your server. EDIT: The timeout errors seem to be related to mods on The Center. I removed mods and could get in fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkened 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Still lookin' - if there's no intervention on your server, no staff member is looking at your server. Well the server isn't working, on the join server screen in ARK, it shows the map as "ShooterEntry" and shows the max players as 0/70.. Both of those are clearly wrong, but I hope it helps give you an idea of what could be wrong. here are the custom launch parameters; Game/Mods/TheCenter/TheCenter?Multihome=158.69.116.207?Port=17115?QueryPort=17116?SessionName=Sadistic Garden [3x All Boosts] | SurvivalServers.com?MaxPlayers=30?listen?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxxxxxx?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=17117?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArk13505?GameModIDs=538986229,519536568,520879363,655994882,539464369,664507528,665094472,497086514,536214294 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we remove the Annunaki mod, people will lose 80% of their tamed dinos... If we remove the Corrective Structures Mod all of our builds will just go.. poof....

mndfreeze 10 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Some of my members are trying to join the server and getting an error "Failed to load mod map" They have done the DLC and updated everything. I'm having this exact same problem, and with only SOME of my users. I was able to connect as are a few other people for the last few hours no problem, but suddenly one guy just tries to get on and having this issue. He removed everything on his side and completely reinstalled the game, the DLC, still a problem. My game server id is 15248 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualAngel 1 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 I had the same problem and Dragon230's instructions worked for me. Dragon230 Posted these awesome instructions (I added the two red steps as I made the error of selecting the wrong drop down): "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: (NOTE: All your players should do this!)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 buttonStep 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 FOLDERStep 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 doesn't mean it will work.Depending on the type of server/provider you are using, 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 0: Select Custom for your Map type, NOT The Center in the drop down menu or you will get a "Mod Map failed to load error". Step 0.1: Remove/delete the Map Mod ID number 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 same 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!"

Ryan Pennington 359 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Figured it out. The old mod folder needed to be wiped from \ShooterGame\Content\Mods on the server side as well. Restart your server to have it automatically wiped if you have The Center in your map select OR you can delete it manually (while server is stopped) if you are on Custom map select. I'll think of a more permanent solution tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMarty 2 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Restarted the server with The Center map selected. It worked and now we can log into the game BUT! We are all login with a about 14 days old backup file. I have tried to update server with many of the latest restore backup dates, but all in vain. No matter what date i use for backup we still login with the same character levels that seem to be around 14 days old. We have frustrated gamers that are leaving server and Ark now because of this so please help me solve this issue. P.S. I have also submitted a ticket about this specific issue but thought it doesn't hurt to try here too! We have figured out that we are login in with characters we had on "The Island map" from before we changed to "The Center" map Mod and started over.

alpinmike 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2016 Is anyone else having an issue with the server wiping (clearing player structures and dino but not engrams) everytime there is an update? Is on the server side or is it an ARK issue? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is on the server side or is it an ARK issue? I looked at your server and see evidence of messed up launch params (which looks to be fixed now) Please open up a support ticket if you continue to have issues.
