[parkervcp]

The game's not even out yet...

[LexiieKF]

The game has been released

[gOOvER]

there is no dedicated Server yet. didnt found any

[Ballaual]

prob. there never will be public server files due to Nitrado/Marbis server exclusivity

[Red-Banana-Official]

didnt nitrado already confirm there will be dedicated server files?

[Ballaual]

if so it might be https://steamdb.info/app/2430930/ (unconfirmed) This i just found at LGSM, maybe we should keep an eye open here https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/4350

[Red-Banana-Official]

Yeah i posted that here too couple hours ago, i removed it as i wasnt sure.

[Red-Banana-Official]

they both dont work yet

[gOOvER]

they both dont work yet

because there is NO Server?

[Red-Banana-Official]

I mean, nitrado started selling, so the files are there, just cant download them yet ig

[gOOvER]

I mean, nitrado started selling, so the files are there, just cant download them yet ig

Nitrado start selling satisfactory Server 1 year before they was releases.

and now really simple, because there is nothing to discuss;

no public dedicated Server = No egg

[Red-Banana-Official]

i mean most of the people i know that play ark, only play unofficial servers, they gonna miss out on money if they wait a year lol

[Red-Banana-Official]

but yes obviously lol, we all just waitin

[Red-Banana-Official]

dud what are u on about, calm ur tits, no need to get sassy. we are all just trying to help lol

[gOOvER]

soo, looks Like, only Nitrado will be able to Host Servers ;)

ARK Survival Ascended confirms that players will get to rent private servers thanks to Nitrado partnership.

ARK Survival Ascended confirms that players will get to rent private servers thanks to Nitrado partnership.

Can I monetize my ARK: Survival Ascended Server? Nitrado’s commercial exclusivity for community servers will not prevent monetization of your self hosted or even rented server, such as but not limited to donations, “VIP” roles, reserved slots, items and anything else that is permitted within the Terms and Conditions & End User License Agreement of ARK: Survival Ascended.

[Red-Banana-Official]

lets wait and see what will happen.

[Ballaual]

[gOOvER]

Ppl find in the legal documents Nitrado has 100% monopoly on it for several years LMAO

i think the Same. looks Like, they are the only. company, which are allowed to host the Server.

[MedPlex98]

According to the Nitrado Snail Games deal there should be the possibility for private self hosted servers.

Of course, Nitrado wants to make sure that everyone gets their servers from them first, before the server files go public. I think that will still take some time.

For 7 years.

But we can forget about servers anyway.

Self-Hosted Free Use Dedicated ASA Server (PC Steam Only) When you purchase ARK: Survival Ascended on Steam at launch, you can create one PC private server (“Steam server”) for free use, allowing you to invite friends or other community players to share experiences across the revamped ARK maps. With the “Steam server” , there will be limitations that you can expect, including a lack of console crossplay, and that you’ll be limited to creating a single Steam server for your Steam account, requiring authentication before starting. Also, self-hosted servers often take many steps to prepare and manage smoothly due to requiring your resources, time, and hardware. To save you time and ensure the best server hosting experience, we recommend your ARK: Survival Ascended servers with us at Nitrado, the exclusive commercial provider of ASA server hosting!

Hosting ASA Servers with a Dedicated License (PC Only) At the moment, we are actively working to ensure the community can be provided with non-commerical licenses for ARK: Survival Ascended servers. As we do not want to block communities by the exclusivity, we will be aiming to have this ready after launch. The system will work by providing server communities and content creators the ability to request this temporary license or a partnership by applying. To check ahead of time if you meet our requirements, you can see them below:

Server Admins & Cluster Owners Requirements (Communities)

Have at least 10,000 active members in your community. Content Creator Requirements

Have at least 10,000 followers and 5,000 impressions per content piece. If you do not meet these requirements, you can find additional options below to still host community servers and ensure you can grow into the new worlds of ARK: SA. Then, once you do meet our requirements we encourage you to apply!

[Red-Banana-Official]

Refering to the 1 server per steam account?

[QuintenQVD0]

There is a steamidfor the server : https://steamdb.info/app/2430930/info/

Still no docs and windows only

[Red-Banana-Official]

And still only if you have the game on ur steam acc right?

[Ballaual]

i dont own the game and wont buy i (dont support this exclusivity shit) either they release linux files later or it is possible to create a server with wine (might be shitty af) if someone wants to test it out i can create a simple egg for testing purposes incl. wine. start command will be something like this wine64 ./ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen -UseBattlEye

tried that and still doesn't work sadly. guess we need to wait more for them to release the game in linux.

what error(s) you got? pretty sure that you need to own a copy of the game and cant login anonymously, so you need to login with your account data and use some kind on SteamGuard auth (mail only) too (if enabled)

will create an test egg tomorow morning and post it here

[Ballaual]

@Truepanelhosting @IxPrumxI In case one of you want to try it out with my first creation of this egg. As i dont own the game and wont buy it i am not able to test it myself. In order to get this working you need to own a copy of the game. To login you need to use SteamGuard Mail (mobile is not supported as i know). First install the server and wait for the mail with your code. Then put it into the SteamGuard variable and reinstall the server again. As i dont know the console outputs of the game there is currently no value inside the start configuration, meaning the server won't be shown as started so far. As soon i get feedback from someone tested this egg i can start updating and finetuning. If errors occur an error log would be nice. https://github.com/Ballaual/eggs/tree/feat-arksa-egg/game_eggs/steamcmd_servers/ark_survival_ascended

[QuintenQVD0]

et this working you need to own a copy of the game. To login you need to use SteamGuard Mail (mobile is not supported as i know). First install the server and wait for the mail with yo

you can not import the steamguard code with pterodactyl

[IxPrumxI]

@QuintenQVD0 I already was sucesssful with downloading the game yesterday by using steam guard backup code. @Ballaual I had to modify your egg install script at line 29 ./steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /mnt/server +set_steam_guard_code ${STEAM_AUTH} +login ${STEAM_USER} ${STEAM_PASS} ${STEAM_AUTH} +app_update ${SRCDS_APPID} ${EXTRA_FLAGS} validate +quit

[Ballaual]

oversight by me.. sorry!!!! 😓 Could you pls change your startup to this and try again pls? there is a missing " after the name variable

wine64 ./ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe {{SERVER_MAP}}?listen?SessionName="{{SESSION_NAME}}"?ServerPassword={{SERVER_PASSWORD}} -UseBattlEye

if thats not working too pls try removing both " before and after session name - im not 100% sure but it usually should be without when take a look into arkse server docs

[gOOvER]

use wine and not wine64. Check other eggs, Like sotf and add wine envs

mb the Gameserver dont Run in wine

[Ballaual]

@IxPrumxI add me on discord -> ballaual, then we can test out stuff later together if you want. Better we test it first and then publish further information here instead of spamming down the ppl inside this issue ^^

[QuintenQVD0]

game seem to run with proton, do the server also should work.

[stylab]

Love to see how fast this community works, great work guys If you need testers ill be around to give a hand

[Ballaual]

just updated this using proton instead of wine.

Install instruct

Sounds like it is trying to run in the background what is not posible with pterodactyl. It must send you a shell with console output.

[QuintenQVD0]

Append -server -log to the end of the startup.

[durzo]

i get the same thing using -server -log, and there is no log created. I have tried running the container interactively with /bin/bash, manually typing out the steamcmd + proton commands using all the setup from /entrypoint.sh, even setting PROTON_LOG=1 and no log is created.

proton dont work. Every server i tied crashed. In my eyes there are other startupflags or the server is not made for wine

[gOOvER]

Append -server -log to the end of the startup.

-server is only for ueeditor and not for gameserver.
