Cluster Issues

Hello all,

i have been working on this for the past several hours but have hit a complete snag in the whole cluster setup. 

I have been hosting my own TheIsland server for several months now and have decided to add ScorchedEarth and take on the whole cluster idea. I followed the instructions here 

and had some success. Essentially i am able to login to my TheIsland server with all my player data etc but when i start up the ScorchedEarth version it never actually launches. 

 

Technical Info:

Windows Server

Ports forwarded:

7777-7778 TCP/UDP

27015-27016 TCP/UDP

 

start_server.bat:

start D:\ArkCluster\TI\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe "TheIsland?SessionName=IslandServerName?AltSaveDirectoryName=SavedArks?QueryPort=27015?ServerPassword=setpassword?ServerAdminPassword=anotherpassword?Port=7777?listen?MaxPlayers=10?" -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=cluster1

start D:\ArkCluster\SE\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe "ScorchedEarth_P?SessionName=DesertServerName?AltSaveDirectoryName=Scorched?QueryPort=27016?ServerPassword=setpassword?ServerAdminPassword=anotherpassword?Port=7778?listen?MaxPlayers=10?" -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=cluster1
exit

 

TheIsland one starts fine, the ScorchedEarth one skips the "Server: "MyServerName" has started successfully" bit but does go on to show the command line info and full startup time.

 

According to the guide I am supposed to use the same .ini files for both servers but i have my doubts about how that is working as in the GameUserSettings.ini file it literally says:

[SessionSettings]
SessionName=IslandServerName

 

Makes me think the .ini is attempting to force the same server name potentially. 

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

After further testing i removed basically everything and set the startup batch file to just attempt a Scorched Earth startup on the ports that i know work and it wont start that map. 

start D:\ArkCluster\TI\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe "ScorchedEarth_P?SessionName=MyDesert?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015"
exit

I ran the below to install the server to start this whole thing, am i missing something?

1. login anonymous
2. force_install_dir serverpath
3. app_update 346110 validate

pretty sure it was the guide i was following for the initial server setup that was the issue, using 346110 instead of 376030 XD

Set your ports at least two apart so 7777 for one and 7779 for the other.
