Matt189 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I hosted a dedicated server on my PC, I was able to join it on my local network through my Xbox however my friends would receive "unable to join" messages when attempting to connect. I tried searching through other forums and posts however most of those searches came up empty. Does anyone know any solutions or tips on how to get this to work?

jessy Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Did you open the server port in your router setings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeddicus919 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I am trying this as well but no matter what i try my friend cant connect. i have my server hosted on my Gaming PC through the Windows 10 Store version of Ark with a Silver account and me and my friends Play our gold accounts on the Xbox One Once set up, i did not see my server in the Player Dedicated list but i was able to Join in my LAN by friending the silver account and just going to Join Game. My friends could not connect from outside my network though. At first i only had the following forwarded and i could join but my friends got Join Failed message TCP: 3074 UDP: 88,500,3074,3544,4500 I also set up rules to allow them through my windows firewall and tested their availability with a port checker Currently i am set up with the following ports forwarded and my windows firewall disabled on my PC (I know that's not secure but did it for troubleshooting purposes) TCP: 3074, 25147, 27015-27030, 27036-27037 UDP: 88, 500, 3074, 3544,4380, 4500, 7777, 25147, 27000-27031, 27036 What am I missing / doing wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 1. Your server will never show up in the list, if it does it will be random and for a limited amount of time. The only way to gurantee it shows up on the ark server list is to pay nitrado. 2. Check your NAT settings, they must be Open, yours must not be open.

Zeddicus919 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I will double check it and see if it changed but i think its open. I know it's open on the XBOX. Will post when i have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeddicus919 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 NAT Type is open all around. Just to test i set it up like i had it after uninstalling and installing and i cant connect within my LAN anymore either, getting join failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has ANYONE ever set this up successfully? Now i don't have a way to play on the same server as my Wife anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Mine works fine, I use upnp on my router so I don't even need to open ports. I can connect locally on my lan and others can connect also via my hosting pc by joining, on the host pc xbox account. It occasionally will show up on ark server list but it seems completely random. I am currently trying to figure out if I can cluster servers by using VMs, it might work but I am not sure of performance. Ping your host computer and see if you can even see it. I put my host on a dedicated ip not within dhcp range because it could end up dropping it on refresh of tables or reassign it an different interal ip which might drop connections.

Thanks for the suggestion, i wonder if because i have UPnP enabled as well the port forwards and it are fighting. also i did set a static but well within the random assignment range, ill reconfigure and try again. Ill let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeddicus919 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 So far still a no go, not even within my LAN gonna try a clean slate install with deleting the dedicated server data and a reinstall on my xbox to see if that changes anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having the same issue and there’s NOTHING. You’d think something like this would be more polished. Woohoo, gotta love Studio Wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I just booted a server up on a VM (hyper v) under a separate gamer tag. Then on the same machine used another instance of windows and separate GT and connected to the ark server,no issues. Friends were able to join in on it via adding the host ark GT as friend first then joining game in session since server wasn't showing up yet on ark server list. I was not port forwarding and simply using upnp. Both were on the same subnet and gateway address. Both Xbox app under network settings were showing NAT as open. At first it was strict but once I rebooted machine it became open. So maybe just try a simple reboot. But yes, you can host and play on the same machine, but I wouldn't call it ideal. Separate machines is more ideal. Still can't cluster though since we don't have startup command access to link the IDs like steam or nitrado.

uderb Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Is it possible to set up a pc based serve to xbox's can connect? How might I go about doing this (ie tutorial/instructions link?)? Are there any subscription based services that offer this? edit: ah and i found nitrado but their app doesn't accept canadian ip payments I think. I msgd their support on twitter.

Bubbles1220 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I have been having issues trying to setup and join my dedicated server. What I am trying to do is run a dedicated server for me and my friends on my gaming PC, and play on it off of my xbox one x (My friends are also playing on xbox). I have downloaded ARK on my PC and I am able to launch and run the game no problem and can successfully host a dedicated server. The issue I am having is when me and anyone I know tries to join the server it will load primalgamedata_bp for a while then the game will just freeze and after a while we get a notification that says "Lost/timedout connection to host". I have tried so many things to try and make this work but nothing has been successful so far. If someone who has knowledge and experience with this issue could help me and my friends we would forever be in your debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
