theslipyshow Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Hi, I'm not sure what the problem is and I've spent a lot of time looking for answers and guides to setting up clusters. I use a dedicated server with different ARK instances map installs with the same IP and different ports for each map install. The map shows when transferring. I have added to the server start parms on both maps with same folder location and same clusterID: -NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride="myfolderlocation" -ClusterId="myclusterID" Of course without the "" and clusterID is all lowercase letters. It makes the folders and I see my .ark file in it through sftp. But when transferring to the new map I pick a spawn point because I've not created on that map yet. Then it forces me to create a new character and I tried the download character screen and no characters to download. So I go back to the main map I was on and have to download my character because I never spawned into the new map yet, which is normal. In gameuserssettings.ini I also have on both maps: PreventDownloadDinos=false PreventDownloadItems=false PreventDownloadSurvivors=false PreventUploadDinos=false PreventUploadItems=false PreventUploadSurvivors=false NoTributeDownloads=false Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkradeon Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) on out cluster we use quotes (" ") for the ClusterDirOverride path, to be sure the entire path is parsed correctly (you can avoid them if you don't have spaces or special chars inside the path). example: -ClusterDirOverride="E:\asmdata" be sure you are using absolute path values and not relative paths on all cluster servers. cluster id instead shall not have quotes and must have no spaces.

Hi, That didn't work either. Still same issue. I actually didn't have quotes in the start parms and shouldn't have posted that in OP. But trying quotes didn't work either in start parms: -NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride="myfolderlocation" -ClusterId=myclusterID Before I posted this question I had in server start parms which had the same issue : -NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterId=myclusterID Then after reading more I then added but with same issue: -NoTransferFromFiltering -ClusterDirOverride=myfolderlocation -ClusterId=myclusterID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkradeon Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) wait, what version of ARK are we talking about? As far I know, ASA clustering feature isn't fully working yet (should work import/export from/to single player) Edited December 11, 2023 by darkradeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkradeon Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) are the server running on the same nic? also do you have write rights on the cluster directory location? I also suggest to make a diff between your launching options and ini to check you didn't make any typo. if you still cannot make it work, try to use ASM for that, myabe it's just a misconfig.
