Nokosa Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'm not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but it's not just unofficial. It's official servers, as well. We haven't been able to connect for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeSavage Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 my players may have found a work around. They can join through the console in a single player game. They boot a single player game and use the open <public Ip:query port> and it lets them join. but they can't join from the menus. Its wierd man. Example: open 111.111.1.11:27015 This worked for joining the server obviously the IP is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMLlefutur Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 20+ players still waiting for a solution. Our dedicated servers are still down since 4 days (steam). We have tried many things without success. I will remember the 5th anniversary for a long time. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberAngel67 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I see a lot of people saying they can't connect to their servers, but what about transferring to another map. I have no issues connecting to my servers, just when I trasnfer from one map to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramer2k Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 So, after about 5 hours of digging this is what worked for me (situational may not be for everyone) I run a small dedicated server for a few friends - i run a steam account for the dedicated server with ark server manager and everyone including me joins through epic (-crossplay added to the Server arguments) Server was fine on 311.97 until today when i stupidly updated to 311.99 All external connections were broken. I was fine being on the local LAN. From advise from a Reddit post i deleted my server password, enable Exclusive join and then add the previous players IDs from their .arkprofile stored in "MYServer"/shootergame/Saved/Savedarks My friends can only join using the open command after starting up in single player (i tried several times with a password but it would not work for anyone who already had a character on the server) I also added -epiconly to the server arguments but am not sure its absolutely necessary Maybe this might help some of you that run your own servers Seriously good luck with this atrocious update.

Jinxer Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It seems they have just forgotten about us, none of the updates are about this problem at all. Would be nice to get an offical comment regarding this but im not going to hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHEP2 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Spoiler VPN worked for me, its is crap, and it doesn't look as good, but it worked. They told me it was on my end. ummm no..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkove Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 2 of my users that are on Epic Games are also getting Connection Timeout errors. I have 9 or so users on steam that can connect just fine. All workarounds I have found dont work. I installed the game through Epic to try and am able to connect but as others have said they are able to connect through LAN with Epic.

And what about if you use your steam client to transfer to another map in your cluster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, is that with our without using crossplay? In my cluster, nothing has changed, startup scripts are the same as what they where before EGS version was released and Steam Client can't transfer to other maps without getting a disconnection message.

Tobbstar Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Currently i am running 3 server from my own connection. I have a seperate machine that has both been in DMZ and with port forwarding, still all 3 servers gives me this error. i can only connect via my LAN to the server that starts first after that i get Timeout error and even when i transfer between the servers ingame. Other players from outside my network seem to have no issues. Ive read that several players have the same issues and seems related with changes that happend recently when crossplay was introduced. Anyone else having this issue and a potential fix not workaround. One workaround i have heard is that you can use a VPN to mask your IP for me to be able to connect.

So, it looks like it will be a 2+ year wait for it to get fixed then. Wildcard are great a breaking poop, but lazy as $%^&* in fixing what they break.

Tobbstar Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ive looked into the patch notes and saw this. 7 days ago when this issue started for some people they changed the net code. And 5 days after that they re-implemented "load balancing" to ark servers maybe these are at fault. v311.99 - 06/16/2020 Re-implemented Multihome server functionality 311.78 - 06/11/2020 Disabled bRawSockets as they no longer function with the new game networking code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After talking to another server owner he recommended that you skip a port cause they removed the command but not the function. So all my servers were 7777 / 7778 / 7779 ive now moved em to 7777 / 7779 / 7781 and i can now atleast transfer with out the timeout command. Still having some issues but could be from tinkering to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
