Server Crashes with Fatal Error During Underwater Missions in Gen 1


Cybat

Recommended Posts

I'm currently doing an all main story DLC, solo, all Alpha bosses playthrough of ARK in order to be ready for ARK II when it releases, and I'm currently on Genesis Part 1. I've completed around 63% of the missions in the map, and I'm now in the Ocean Biome doing escort missions. However while in the Ocean, I've been having fatal errors occur for the SERVER, as in the server itself crashes (using Ark Server Manager to self host), but my game is still left running (the game doesn't crash). The error message is the file attached. It has seemed to always occur during the Ocean missions only since I have never had that error on any other mission previously, though I haven't gone back and tried other missions in other biomes since I have been completed them biome by biome. What is going on here?

Here is what I am doing during these missions:

9 Spinos swimming (not super effective cause the turn radius, but I might get some mutated megs instead)

~12 Baryonyx swimming (to stun)

Dinos aggression is rotated between passive, neutral, and attack my target as needed

Frames are pretty bad cause its Genesis Part 1 and I'm underwater (hovering around 20-35)

Server is hosted via LogMeInHamachi (originally configured the server to have friends then started this playthrough and kept the configs)

First noticed the errors during the Ocean Escort missions "Rip it, Roll it, Punch it" and "Echo of a Classic". It would tend to crash part way through the mission, though there was no consistent pattern on what was causing it.

 

Please help, I end up crashing like every 5-10 minutes during these missions, and I can't complete them with this constant crashing!

Dino Storage had an update recently...

Might be worth checking that both server and client were updated.  I had a problem with a modded map yesterday, where the server-side mods didn't want to update with   -automanagedmods  
I had to manually delete all mods (becuase I didn't know which specific one was at fault) then get both client and server to re-download them.

So like unsubscribe from them on steam them re-subscribe to them for the client, and for the server take them all off the list then replace them back?

Just want to make sure I take the right steps here, I have over a year's worth of progress in dinos on this server and to loose it all from incorrect tampering would be devastating. Thank you in advance for at least working with me on this. I will be available all day to reply back and forth.

Hi Cybat.

There's no need to do anything with the game's save directories - but you should take a backup just in case.

>> unsubscribe from them on steam [] for the client
That's what I did on the client - and I deleted all the files and directories from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods
Joining the server will automatically subscribe you to the mods again.

>>  and for the server take them all off the list then replace them back
It sounds like you're using a management console or ASM on the server?

On the server - I deleted the files and folders from C:\ArkServer\ShooterGame\Content\Mods
Then validated the server's install with steamcmd  steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:\ArkServer" +login anonymous +app_update 376030 validate +quit
Then let the first map install the mods again  (I have -automanagedmods on the command line).

As with anything in life, there's no guarantee this will fix your problem - the issue might be elsewhere.

If you like, you could zip up your save directory and put it somewhere for me to download and test on my server.  I'm in the UK - I'll be around for most of today (Wednesday 8th).

Any one else figure this out?
I see S+ and Dino Storage is a mod we have in common. Our other maps are 100% stable.
