The output of arkmanager status displays more steam players than are connected.

Running command 'status' for instance 'main' Server running: Yes Server PID: 17165 Server listening: Yes Server Name: Ark Server - (v321.1) Steam Players: 4 / 10 Active Steam Players: 2 Server online: Yes ARKServers link: http://arkservers.net/server/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27015 Steam connect link: steam://connect/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27015 Server build ID: 6084280 Server version: 321.1

Steam players shows the number of connections (from the Steam A2S_INFO query) Active Steam Players uses the A2S_PLAYER query to get the list of players.

Heyhoman commented 3 years ago

I understand that. I'm still wondering where the other two connections might come from.

klightspeed commented 3 years ago

One possibility is players sitting at the loading screen or character creation screen. I don't know if players where the client is waiting for the player to enter the server password are also included by the server.

OK, I don't know who was stuck at the loading screen for at least 12 hours but I just restarted the server and now everything is fine. Thanks for the clarification.
