ARK: Survival Evolved Forum

Hey, I recently have made a ARK dedicated server, but it does not show up in the game's unofficial server list. I have both ports 27015 and 7777 forwarded on my router and I launch the server with a .bat file. The ARKServers website and the steam server viewer claim the server is open, but when I try to join the server via ARKServers or Steam server viewer, a steam message pops up claiming the server if not responding. None of my friends see the server either. Any fix? Thanks bunches.

Wait a period of time, the server needs up to an hour sometimes to report to the steam master servers. I guess your server should be online by now if you left it that way

It's been around 5 hours since I opened the server, it still isn't responding.

Haroo!

It would be usefull if you posted a log output of your server, perhaps some thing is obstructing it. I am not talking about port forward or any thing. Also it would be use full yo try it with a different startup line with the flags: -nosteamclient -server

As for a start I would suggest trying to run it it either with:

Windows: Or Linux: Give it 5 to 10 minutes to fully boot up depending on your hardware and see if its enlisted.

Also you can try to connect with: steam://connect/YOUR-SERVER-IP
And see if it is working or not

I tried your server start code (Windows) and the server crashed about a minute after startup, unfortunately. The code I used beforehand is this:

start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?QueryPort=27015?SessionName=eXi?MaxPlayers=5?listen?ServerPassword=YOURSERVERPASSWORD?ServerAdminPassword=YOURADMINPASSWORD -nosteamclient -game -server -log

I had my server name and passwords in the spaces of course.

Could you give us an output of your server error, because we need that to debug it.

Here is the crash report. This is using the launch code you provided, not the previous one.

Update your server files, it is fixed yesterday if it still crashing look at this guide:

Other wise (if too complicated):

I made an attempt at updating the server files on steamCMD, but was greeted by another error. I have an idea of what it means, but I don't know how to fix it.

Run it again, steam has some times fucked up things. Otherwise reinstall it entirely some thing might be broken.
