Server does not start

Hey,

Hoping someone can help me with my ark dedicated server, followed the guide on the wiki but not having any luck.

I have the dedicated server set-up on my windows server 2019 machine.

Here is the command line (with passwords scrubbed):

Quote

start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?listen?SessionName=chaosman?ServerPassword=?ServerAdminPassword=?Port=27015?QueryPort=27016?MaxPlayers=10 -server -log
exit

is there a way to tell if the server has even started? As the console closes right after launching.

 

Thanks,

Chaoschao11

1. Leave a gap of 2 between port numbers.  Ark silently uses the port number AND port number +1.  so your server needs ports 27015, 27016 and make QueryPort=27017.
2. Have you setup a static LAN IP address on your server and port-forwarded the necessary ports on your router?

You can use BattleMetrics as a rough check... https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/search?q=chaosman&sort=score

Finally: if BattleMetrics sees your server, but you don't see it from the same LAN, then it's probably because your router doesn't have NAT-reflection (aka NAT-loopback) turned on.
