Hi,

First off, this is pretty much the first time for me using Linux.. so.. be gentle..

I've followed the instruction on linuxgsm to install my Ark server, and also opened the required ports.. I've done ./arkserver postdetails, and the results are below:

So as you can see, by all means.. it looks like its working.. but i cant seem to find the server in the Ark list.. and neither can i connect directly.. Any ideas?

Hi shenniko.

A few things spring to mind...

1. Multihome is only required if you have more than one network port on your computer.
2. You have double quotes around everything after ./ShooterGameServer but command line args should be outside the quotes...
 ./ShooterGameServer "TheIsland?AltSaveDirectoryName=TheIsland?listen?MultiHome=144.76.13.249?MaxPlayers=70?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27020?Port=7777" -automanagedmods
3. Ark uses the port number you specify and the next one up.  So you need to port-forward 7777 and 7778.
4. Steam likes to use ports 27015 and 27020... https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711 
5. Check that your router allows NAT-Loopback, otherwise you won't be able to connect to the server from your own LAN.
6. Command line arg I use are...      -NoCrashDialog -log -NoTransferFromFiltering -EnableIdlePlayerKick -ServerRCONOutputTribeLogs -automanagedmods

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. This is a dedicated host from hetzner.com (im using the server for something else also)..

UFW ports below... so all ports should be open..

The only sort of error i can find is in my arkserver-console.log (generated by linuxgsm ), but reading up on net, lots of people say its normal? :
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110

So according to logs.. server is running, ports are open.. but i still cant find my server or direct connect from steam..

Try -nosteamclient  on the end of your command line to clear that error message.

BattleMetrics is seeing your server... https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/search?q=Shennikos&sort=score   so you're part way there.
Click on your server name in battlemetrics, then try using the "connect" link in the top right of the page.

I see that you've been on the server, so my guess is that the ping times between your client and server are high enough that the client is timing out on the server list before finding yours.

 

Which country are you in, and which country is your server in?

Apologies, lots of tweaks and re-setting things...
 

It looks like i was originally booting up two servers... some sort of mix up with my service.. so i removed it and setup a Cron job.. So all seems to be working and booting now..

I've added the server to my Steam > View > servers > fav's (by entering my ip and searching for all games on that IP) so can connect that way... just cant see the server in the Ark list in the game..

Im in the UK and the server is in Germany.. so not that much distance..

The server is clearly working because you're able to join as a direct connection, so the main thing you need to change is the quotation marks on your command line: The options on the end of the line (with minus signs) should be outside of the quotes.

 ./ShooterGameServer "TheIsland?AltSaveDirectoryName=TheIsland?listen?MultiHome=144.76.13.249?MaxPlayers=70?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27020?Port=7777" -automanagedmods  -nosteamclient -server -log

The ark server fails silently with a lot of these options, so it won't report an error when you get these options wrong.

At some point: you should add "?ServerAdminPassword=xxxxx" inside the quotes, with a password of your choice otherwise anybody would be able to enable cheats.
