nishnashjosh Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 So everytime me and my friends try to play, it says timed out from host, and i f Im honest im sick of it. I bought the game and cant even play it. JUST FIX YOUR GAME Ive spent money on something and as a result surely I should be allowed to play. BUT NO for some reason you dont care enough about your playerbase to fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehuhoser Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Where is the server hosted from, what ping do you have, is it just you who cannot join or your friends? These are questions that I would ask instead of just saying fix your game because I can play, join, do things, so game is not broken, but your host might be and start there.

We need to know the specific details of the scenario you're experiencing. 1) How many people is "my friends". Are you trying to play a game with just two people or are there 3, 4, 5+ people trying to play on a single non-dedicated session? 2) Who is hosting the non-dedicated session - does this happen when it's you hosting, does happen when it's one of your friends hosting, does it happen when any of your friends try to host? 3) When this happens, does it happen only to you? Or doe it happen to any of your friends who try to join the non-dedicated session. From your description we can't tell if it's a problem on the hosts system or a problem with the system(s) trying to connect to the host. Give us the specific scenarios you're experiencing, and who it's happening to.

Lot and lots of other people can do this, so it's not a problem for "your playerbase", it's a problem that's happening to you and your friends, and you haven't given enough information. The forums can be very helpful, but you have to give us enough to be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started typing out something yesterday but deleted it, basically said something similar, but in the end I figured, its their first post, to rant about fixing a game that we all play each day without issues for the most part, so "fix your game" is like beating a dead horse without the more info required to provide solutions and or troubleshooting that most ppl provide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amphax Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hiya! We struggled with this as well, you're going to need to connect manually using the special port number that's just for Epic. Ask your server admin to get that information for you, they might have to contact technical support (that's what we had to do, in order to find out the special Epic Port Number) E.g.: look at HostHavoc's explanation. And yes, on Epic Games you'll have to do this every time you want to play, we're used to it. Start single player, press tab, then paste in the command, and then it works. https://hosthavoc.com/billing/knowledgebase/6/How-to-join-your-ARK-server-SteamorEpic.html Also another thing work mentioning, Epic Games can't connect to password protected servers, so if they want to keep strangers out the server admin will have to make a whitelist and add everyone to it manually. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
