ARK: Survival Evolved Forum

EDIT: Is fixed, check last post.

Hi folks..

To make this short: Im outraged.

How is that some random dude decides to host a non dedicated server and it shows up on the unofficial server list with no problem, and I take a shit ton of time creating a VM tunning it and making a dedicated 100 slot server and it wont show up on the ingame browsers. It shows in steam, its on 3 different ark server index sites but not on the damn game.

Im loosing a lot of possible players. The enemy(other servers that i compete with) are destroying me in number of players cus they can show up on the damned list.

I do have 7777 and 27015 open using the correct protocols and NO port forwarding, everything is in stock, yet it wont show up.

I know there are a couple of post in this forums with the same issue and no solution, but I felt the need to rant about this. I'm so so mad. It feels so fucked up to be on every forum/board spamming my IP and Port and to get players :S...

Thanks for reading, sorry for typos. English aint my native language.

The in-game server browser is garbage. It only pulls from ~ 4000 random servers out of ~ 25000 that are actually online.

Use Survival Launcher, toparkservers.com, or Steam favorites.

Done.

I have registered my server in 4 different index sites. And I did that thinking that ark had some kind of server reputation that the higher the more chances one had to show up on the list.

Will try the survivial launcher. The thing is my target is not north american or from eu, most are latin americans who dont even know about the index sites and just use the ingame browser to pick their server.

Its a very very sad situation.

Still, the game is in Alpha and has given me lots of fun so far.

sorry for DP.

I ran the app Survival Launcher and I cant find my server, i have players online and playing, and i just checked the steam server browser and it wont show up either, but its fine in my favorites...

I just expanded the UDP port range for the query port. from 27015-27015 to 27000-27030 and still nothing. I will try adding TCP as well using the same range.

ITS FIXED!


Okey

open this and try: 27000-27050 UDP and TCP / and / 7777-7778 UDP

That did the magic. Seems like with 27015 alone it wont properly communicate with the master server list.
