Spolady Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I've played ARK for a couple of years, but want to start my own server... I play on Xbox on PC. Is the only way to have a cluster server is to use Nitrado? And do you have to buy each server separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCowboy3141 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 You could try this: but at the end of the day, i would say yes, you need to host via Nitrado. To cluster multiple maps together via Nitrado or by the method above, multiple "servers" are required. So, yes, you'll have to buy a Nitrado server for each map you want to be included in your cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcook414 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Nitrado is the only host currently that you can rent servers for on Xbox/Windows 10 crossplay. Each sever is independent from one another but can be linked so Yes, they will be separate purchases. To keep things simple it's usually about $1/per player. If you promote and create a good community you will find members can donate through nitrado to help cut down the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrokSurvivor Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 There are "hacks" to cluster servers together with the windows 10 version of ark, i use my desktop to host one server and my laptop to host another both are set up so that we can transfer between them. There is also a hack to host multiple windows 10 servers on the same PC however i wouldn't recommend it unless you have very good hardware. Player dedicated servers are much more demanding than normal servers due to how they work (the host is actually loaded into the game), it's a shame that the tool to host a server normally is private to nitrado...
