Host non dedicated session

[Guppylord]

Anyone else hoping that Ark 2 will have host non dedicated sessions but with no distance limit from the owner. It does come in handy sometimes but other times it gets my creatures killed. Plus there’s some bugs that come with the distance thing all together like entering caves in scorched Earth so I’m hoping they’ll make it more enjoyable in Ark 2. But I wouldn’t mind if they kept it as is too. Unless there is already a way to change the distance limit but I haven’t seen any way in years other than paying for a private server.

A non-dedicated session in ARK means we can start the game at any time to play. Your friends can join your world to have fun with you and play together. Also, in a non-dedicated session, you can modify the original settings, like harvesting stone stats on ARK, as you did on the local mode. I hope that Ark 2 will have host it.

Both of those issues also tend to happen at random, so running it with a normal re-spawn rate of 1.0 is virtually impossible. I believe even re-fertilizer wont work at that point, i have also noticed that if you build in a location and it was slightly to close to something (inside the no-spawn radius), removing said build might cause the same problem.                                                                                                                                  Drift Boss
