I see my server on the server list and on Arkservers.net
both show my server online but I can neither join directly or find it in the server list in game.
A friend of mine can't find it either.

When I try to direct connect is just stays on the ARK loading screen. I thought it may just take a while but I opened it yesterday, left it on over night and this morning it was still not connected.

Hi there.

I can find my server in Steam, and i can enter it and play on it myself, but i do not know how i can make my friends play on it aswell.

Could you help me please?

UPDATE: I WON'T GIVE ANY NEW SUPPORT ON THIS! ARK IS PATCHING WAY TOO OFTEN FOR ME TO CATCH UP AND I CAN'T GET THE SERVERS WORKING FOR ME EITHER. PLEASE STICK TO THE SERVER CREATION TOOL POSTED IN ANOTHER THREAD!

If anyone else wants to take this on, please let us know ASAP. The launch tool is fine, but not an acceptable solution for all.

I have made an Unofficial server and 4 of us are able to access it. I see it in my LAN and My Survivors tab... also, 2 friends have searched and found it in the Unofficial list (I can't see it there.) No one else has been able to see it. (the other 2 joined on the Friends tab)

When I look at the 'server info' of the server in steam, it shows my 10.0.0.22 ip there instead of the... I guess... main IP? My ports are forwarded properly and my firewall ports are correct as well...

Does the steam server showing the 10.0.0.22 have anything to do with why others can't join or see it in the unofficial list/have anything to do with why others can't get in the game? On arkservers.net when you type the server name it shows as 98.244.91.167:7777 but when you add that to steam servers it says server not responding.

Anyone know what I could have messed up?

Updated the post to add Survival Launcher, an alternate to finding your ARK server.

Do you need to install the dedicated server?
