Noriel Sylvire 1 Report post Posted June 12, 2020 Seeing as the game was free on epic games I went ahead and bought EVERYTHING, season pass, genesis season pass, everything, and I also rented a small server for my gf and I. I've checked the "Force Epic" and crossplay option so that we can play together, we both have the Epic Games version, not the steam version, so we do not own a Steam copy of the game. When I hit save and restar, it goes online and loading, but it doesn't show up in the servers list (I'm looking in the unofficial servers list), it jsut doesn't show up so we can't join in. Also, when I hit launch it goes "Server not responding", it never says "Ready" as in the screenshot they show in the wiki. Is there a way we can make this work? Am I missing anything? Thank you in advance, we're currently both playing in singleplayer as we want no other players around. Jesus Aguilera 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Pennington 359 Report post Posted June 12, 2020 It takes some time for it to go from Loading to Ready status. Wait for the Ready status to begin searching in the server list. If it's password protected, select password protected in the server listng. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie England 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2020 Same issue here, I've had a few friends start Ark and wanted to create a server. The server is up as I have Ark on steam and can join directly to it through the launch option and steam bootstrap but my friends cant see it on the EPIC side. I have Crossplay enabled in Advanced Launch Params Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrown414 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Sooooooo I got it to work by enabling -crossplay -epiconly (means only epic players can play the game) in the advanced launch parameters. ALSO, you need to clean the mod folder since its auto installs primitive plus now. Players on Epic Games CAN'T play with mods. Once you do that you should be golden.

K3vicus 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2020 I am having the same problem. Adding a password finally showed my server on the list but I could not connect to it. Now it is not showing up again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie England 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks Ryan, it doesn't actually appear to be an issue on your side which is what I initially thought. I think it's an issue with Ark's Server discovery, and it only pulling in a certain amount of servers when it searches. I did have the password box checked, the correct map displayed and all mode types in the search field but was only able to find it after refreshing a bunch of times (server had been running for a while) again this doesn't appear to be a Survival Servers issue. jbrown414, my friends were finally able to join. Sometimes my friends on EPIC can immediately see it in the server list, sometimes they can't. If they search for the name they cant find, period. They end up having to scroll through the long list and manually search for the server. They have to keep refreshing the server list until they find it. If Ark on EPIC had a way to favorite servers this would be much easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Pennington 359 Report post Posted June 15, 2020 This is a known issue with the Epci server list. Keep refreshing, try different variations of server name, refresh... then try showing password, refresh, uncheck, rinse and repeat. It will eventually show.

kirkulese 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2020 1) Make sure to name your server something unique in the control panel. 2) Wait 15-20 minutes after launching the server for the 1st time, open game, "Join Ark", select "Unofficial" from drop-down, and check the box for "server required password", then search for your unique name. Also, this sounds obvious, but make sure that you go into the Epic Games Launcher and "manage DLC" to enable the additional maps. We started a Ragnarok map and after our server finally showed up, I couldn't join it because I hadn't enabled it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
