morgueroth Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 where did you find the part about no dedicated servers allowed? i can't find it under the listing but i didn't see anywhere that it was confirmed that it wouldn't be allowed.

SLlCK Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 so why does the official trailer show multiple people together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphen Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 pretty sure you can have a dedicated server. I am patching mine with the genesis map and the update now. EDIT: I have a hosted server though so you might be talking about something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I have a hosted server though so you might be talking about something else I have been trying to host a dedicated server for well over an hour now and as soon as I click the genesis tab the dedicated server tab disappears. This is on ps4 btw. If we host a non dedicated server and try to join each other it tells us genesis hasn't been installed. we can start out own non dedicated servers and play them, we just can't have anyone else join.

Zerodan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 There is no dedicated server option for me on the ps4. I have a separate ps4 just to run a dedicated server and it's not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZScruffy Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I have a dedicated server up right now, with map name "Genesis" and it's running. Had a few errors getting in (seems grossly unoptimised, took a LONG time for it to load up, spawn etc), but i have a savegame and everything working. Oh this is on PC btw, on my own dedicated machine i fully control server setup etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUndeadDaedra Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Sooooo On Xbox we cant host a freaking server?!? I want a refund if this isn’t going to happen ? I’m not going to pay for a server and can’t save my progress for later when I have a third Xbox I use for this already and have that save for ever this is absolute BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LdySpyder Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 There is a difference between s dedicated and non dedicated server. On xbox the dedicated server option is gone. You can put up a non dedicated but that tethers everyone who joins to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yes the idea here is that some of us want to host our own server, without any host barrier, on Genesis, and still be able to play with all our friends. Think of it like a private co op server. It's available on every map except Genesis. Why and will this be fixed and if so then when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with a simple "oh yeah we know that's busted, we will get to it" from them. That's it! just have the person who's job it is to relay information relay some information.

Runar Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If anyone fixes this let me know, me and my friends are pissed as well. I have my own dedicated Xbox for a dedicated server, why shouldn’t it be the same as it where before? they might be working on it though, wildcard has a tendency of releasing games or dlc without being completely finished...

Condera Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Nothing new here, but on xbox is the same issue, meaning as soon as I click on the Genesis map, the dedicated server option disappears. Another annoying thing is idk if it's just bugged or "unavailable" right now, but I can't download the DLC for my computer to host the dedicated server either. Microsoft has a "plays anywhere" option for all of the ARK DLC's except this one for now. It means I can use an alternate xbox account to "play" ARK on my PC but use it to host the server. I was going to do that but it doesn't seem to be an option. I do hope to hear something from the devs regarding this OBVIOUS issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It just makes me wonder if they did this on purpose in an attempt to make more ppl pay for a server? Idk if Wildcard gets a cut of any of that or not. You gotta figure they do otherwise why promote it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that's the most annoying part. The devs don't really answer poop cause the higher ups tell them not too. Idk if that's the case here though but it sure seems like it. This is afterall the official ark blog if I'm not mistaken so if the devs are doing their job at all there's no way they're not at least aware of how pissed off a large amount of their customer base is. We're the ones that allow them to be in business because we're the ones that give them money. Given that, I don't understand how they have absolutely no issues with ignoring us.

DavidT84 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 So, can it be hosted on P.C? My friend and I play on console but host a dedicated server on P.C. As the option is gone on console, we are reluctant to make the third purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxicPanda Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 On ps4 I cant join my brothers non dedicated server. Says 'map not installed' however it in fact IS for both of us. We can seperatley play single player gen games so its obviously installed. We can also join official 'dedicated' servers even though we cant run our own.

torrin2 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It's funny because they announced on twitter a patch coming for PC users, minor fixes for the most part. Yet here we all are, not even able to play the game because we want to host our own server like we have done before and the devs aren't telling us anything. Fix these issues: - Host dedicated servers on Xbox - The ability to download Genesis through "play anywhere" on pc and host a dedicated server. This is an outrage and they aren't saying a thing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
