toshe3 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I play with my son in the weekends. Every so often Ark makes an update and I need to restart the server. Today however after multiple restarts I cannot join Steam client to my local dedicated server. It worked before, after the update I cannot join it. I cannot see it in the list of the servers from the ark client. What is the solution? I'm sooooo frustrated because my son and I had plans and how we have to waste the weekend chasing stupid ARK problems. I wish ARK never updated.

Reicon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Been working on fixing this for myself all day... Finally found a post in the steam community for Ark that stated that Ark updates regularly forget to update the ShooterGameServer.exe in steam folders when sending updates for the game. So you have to do an app update with SteamCMD. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_Server_Setup So, Download and use SteamCMD to download the server files into another location and then copy over only the ShooterGameServer.exe from the ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 folder to the same location in the steam folders and then try starting your server. It should show as version 323.17 and then be visible again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliv665 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hey thank you, great job. I used steamcmd on the past, so i know it download huge quantity of files and i have not a fast internet connexion. So i made a directory c:\test and launched steamcmd in this directory (as shown in gamepedia.com) and then, I looked steamcd first downloaded files, => Bingo, shootergameserver.exe was quickly in C:\test\steamapps\downloading\376030\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 as soon as i got it, i stopped steamcmd and copied the file the right steam directory. now it works again. my c:/test took 10GB of disk space in few seconds ! => delete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toshe3 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 I followed the above and the server cmd still shows ARK Version: 316.15. The bloody game just sent another update and is now 323.18. No response to my support ticket. I HATE ARK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshe3 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 oh. And steamcmd was pointing to a wrong host http://cdn.akamai.steamstaticcom/client/steam_client_ubuntu12?1613270262 so i had to hack the hosts file and redirect to http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/client/steam_client_ubuntu12?1613270262 and then it downloaded more than 100GB.

SolwayDog Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 MAC users still on 322.9 and this issue still there. This is not just one MAC user with this issue. If the developers were to run a test case on dedicated servers I'm sure they would be able to find the issue fairly quickly. You keep breaking it when you do an update (not a one off) and then you keep fixing it! Please prioritise fixing issues you have created for your current customers. How long should I wait for a fix until I request a refund for my purchase? - Sale of Goods act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkInSA Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 There seems to (possibly) be 2 issues here 1) Ark update not distributing ShooterGameServer.exe and 2) an alteration in the way networking code works in Ark: I quote a post on a different thread I made around this below (Unfortunately there was no response to that post so I dunno if its valid or not - but it worked for me!) Quote Maybe try changing the server query port - I have had recent success with port 26900 or 26901 or 26902 - up to 26905. The ports on the Wiki (27015, 27016, 27017) were problematic for me over the last while (although they did used to work). This particularly seems to be an issue when running both an Ark server & the actual game on a LAN through a single public IP addressed firewall.
