Ark ASA servers duplicating #54

Closed Mitchell-V closed 6 months ago

Mitchell-V commented 6 months ago

Hi there,

I've been using your scripts for a while now and, whilst most of the stuff is running perfectly fine, I do encounter a random issue. Sometimes the script fails to recognize that a server already exists and boots up a duplicate server using the same set up. This causes many headaches as 2 servers writing to the same files often lead to corruption of people's stuff in-game. I was wondering if there's a way to prevent this from happening. I included a screenshot of an error that I see pop up occasionally when trying to reboot the servers. The dupe issue is often the consequence of this error. Thank you in advance for the assistance!

Can you send me some logs of when the error occured ?

Mitchell-V commented 6 months ago

Certainly! Here is a log file of when that bug occurred during runtime. I hope this helps and if you need more info please let me know! 2024-03-03_17-15-01-ark_survival_ascended_Svart.txt

You're using \ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\AsaApiLoader.exe instead of the intended Executable. This is executable is not supported as it launches a second process.

Thank you for your reply!

The executable I am using is part of the server API that allows the server to run plugins. It is quite a popular API with incredibly useful utility for servers/server owners. I understand that you may not want to add built-in support for this API executable or that it may not even be possible, but I think I'm not the only one who would advocate for that if it were to be possible and it could be very useful to have for your amazing scripts.

I will look elsewhere for other solutions to automating ark's server managing as I cannot run the cluster without the API. Once again thank you for your support!
