Chaoschao11 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkfields Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 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? https://ark.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_Server_Setup 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.
