I run a PvE unofficial Island server through Nitrado. Last week I used admin commands to spawn in trophies for the gamma overseer ascension at the volcano. Note that i did not fight the bosses to obtain the trophies. Now a week later, I have been notified by players that the obelisks are locked. No option to interact with them period. I am on the PS4 and again this is an unofficial server through Nitrado. Has anyone run into this issue before?

I’m looking to help any dedicated or pc unofficial server in need of admins. I know many admins are abusive and it’s hard to come by ones that can be trusted. But I’d love to help any server. Manage the server and make sure everything is going good.

Hi everyone About a week ago an admin came into my server and with no warning he joined my tribe, so then I kicked him and then he joined again. I kicked him 3 times after that he joins and then takes ownership of my tribe and I said what are you playing at and he said its was the only way to stop you kicking me have a go at me. he said I have stuff to return to one of your tribe mates. I basically said you could at least gave me some warning and after all of that he never returned my tribes mate stuff was I in the wrong ?

How do you enable admin/console commands on the pc version of ark given to you by the “play anywhere” feature with Microsoft? I tried “tab” like the steam version, I plugged in my Xbox controller and tried the Xbox x,y, RN, and LB; but nothing is working.... I want to try creative mode to test some building ideas as well as moderate my little non-dedicated. Thanks for your help. Fyi, I’ve already played through on Xbox without console commands, this is just for experimentation and all around building fun.

Any of you survivors seen the attached before? I have an empty grey square on my screen that usually contains an icon relating to my current status, yet if I am too hot or cold etc.. it comes up next to it. Its not doing anything to the game, but my spidey sense is tingling, any thoughts of how to get rid of it? I think it appeared after running admin.

I’m online a lot and will do whatever I need to. If interested msg jamowowbagger on Xbox

This issue has only started since the Aberration DLC has been released. I have started my own non-dedicated game on Aberration and my friend wishes to be an admin so we can use Admin commands together. I make him an admin on the dedicated version then back out to the main menu. Now when I reload the non-dedicated version the game crashes before loading the Aberration completely. This happens every single time. I have tried to make him an Admin on other worlds too but the same thing happens, my ARK crashes before loading the game fully. One thing I have noticed is that when I make him an Admin and back out to the menu, I run the dedicated version again to see if he remains an Admin and he is, but when the non-dedicated version loads it removes him when it crashes. We have tried it the other way around where he tries to make me an Admin on his worlds and he also has the issue. I have deleted all game files including the game and DLC themselves this did not work. I have tried deleting all single player and dedicated world saves this did not work. All that is left to assume is that there is a major bug in the game where friends cannot be made Admins on non-dedicated worlds. I hope this is fixed soon, as Aberration is an amazing DLC!

I wish there was a way to apply a birthday suit skin to gloves, or a way to make items invisible in game. I want the cool effects of the tek glove, but I dont want to show the gloves on my hand.

A tribe on my server had structures set to personally owned, and most of their base was placed at that time. They later changed to tribe owned. The person who owned the structures left the tribe and most of the base reverted to that player. To get the structures back in the tribe I inserted myself into that tribe via admin commends, and used giveallstructure to claim each section one by one for the tribe. Once done I left the tribe. however, all the 'personally' owned structures came with me because they retained the personally owned setting. We need the following new commands. Givestructuretoplayerid <playerid> <ownership type> For example: Givestructuretoplayerid 363516271 tribeowned This is a more powerful version of giveallstructure. This new command improves on it by designated a particular player as the recipient. The first param is the player that will receive the structure you are looking at. The second overwrites the current personally owned/tribe owned setting for that price of structure. Like giveallstructuregiveallstructure, this command would transfer all other structures connected to this structure, such as a whole building. Note that this command could also be used to keep structures in the same tribe, but change them from personally owned to tribe owned, or from tribe owned to personally owned by that player, even if the current tribe settings are tribe owned.

I rent like 7 servers and just set up a console dedi for a PG map which is running smooth and everything. But I need a way to alter the game.ini and ganeusersettings.ini further than what the in game interface will facilitate. I have all the codes and that, I'm just wondering if there's a way to set certain settings from within the game using cheat gamecommand or cheat scriptcommand along the lines of setting to to reboot with a string of command line parameters. I'd be willing to PayPal someone for a consult on how to do so it's not a problem say 20 an hour even

Hi all, I recently enabled pvp and cross-ark on my server on Nitrado, looking for admins to Cross-ark with.

because the moderator Captnmorgan deletes my post I only ask questions about ArkShop

I need a server admin to watch over the server and program it for me. I have Nitrado host. I want insta tame and 100x gather boost. I want the rest boosted, but I don't know how much. Also I want you to spread my server around and get some active players. Add me on Xbox One GarishCloth1 and msg me for more info.

There is a massive number of unclaimed bred dinosaurs in my ark server. Somewhere in the region of 1000 dinos in this one spot. The issue has its root in bred dinosaurs being born on wandering. This is like the 4th time this has happened, but other times I could enter the area without my game freezing or crashing.

Suggestions: 1) Option to set spay/neuter withranking or with ADMIN ONLY options 2) For the tribe log to show WHO and when they spay/neuter a dino.

Today I would like to make a suggestion to the developers at Studio Wildcard. Every day in Ark: Survival Evolved on all platforms, there are many bugs and a few glitches still waiting to be patched, as well as new ones which are discovered with the release of new updates. These negative occurrences lead many users to submit tickets to Studio Wildcard on a daily basis. These tickets usually take a while to get a response, which I assume is due to the number of tickets submitted every day. I personally believe that an intern program of sorts should be started, few game companies take this approach to help solve problems, however I believe it to be somewhat effective. Basically, I believe that regular players should be able to apply as a GM intern to help Game Masters solve tickets, there should be a high standard, and certain criteria should be met. In the process of approving or denying the request, how many times a user has been reported, their game logs, and other information easily available to Studio Wildcard should be checked. I do not believe that these interns should have all of the power that a GM has, due to admin abuse always being a factor. I think that there are a lot of fair and trustworthy players who would be happy to dedicate their time to helping other players solve issues they are having on Ark: Survival Evolved. Not to mention the fact that when Ark: Survival Evolved players lose primarily but not only their tames due to bugs, many of them lose interest in the game for a few days, weeks, months, maybe a year, or permanently. Tickets usually take a few days to get a reply, by incorporating this program, tickets would take less time to solve and keep players happy for a longer period of time. Losing these maybe small and insignificant amount of players every now and then may not seem like a lot, Studio Wildcard probably has the statistics. Though, the loss does add up, at least costing the company some revenue and ratings. Some would say that a better solution would be for them to hire more Game Master's to answer tickets, though, then those employees would have to be paid. The best solution in my opinion would be this program, it will provide Studio Wildcard with more "customer support" to reply to tickets in a swift manner, therefore keeping players happier, saving revenue, teaching players the ways of game development and management, and not having to pay another hired employee. If something like this were to be implemented, I believe that these "interns" should just be basic in-game roaming admins with limited commands, possibly as simple as just being able to teleport a tribe dinosaur that glitched through the map if they are given approval via an in game tribe setting from the specified tribe. (This way none of the "interns" can abuse this command.) I also believe that the "interns" in this scenario should be required to record the teleportation and capture specific information in the video such as the tribe name and the personal owner of the tame. I believe that any tickets they solve should be able to be reviewed with the video clip by a real Studio Wildcard Game Master just as a precaution. I do not believe that there should be many of these "interns", possibly one per server, maybe just a hand full for each map, game type (PVP/PVE), and game mode (regular / primitive plus). If the interns do a good enough job and prove trustworthy, I believe they should receive access to more commands, although, I believe as I stated above that there should be certain limitations on these commands to prevent them from being abused. These commands should only be essential to help solving tickets, not for the "interns" to cheat. If there are restrictions on the commands, video proof is required when solving a ticket, each command is logged, and an Ark: Survival Evolved Game Master can view the solved tickets, I see no real reason why this would be negative for Studio Wildcard. There would be no real way for them to abuse, aside from them using teleport on their own dinosaurs to be lazy, although, the video proof and the command log would be a dead giveaway and they would lose the "internship" including any and all commands as well as their in-game intern symbol when typing. I also think that if this should be implemented, Studio Wildcard should keep more in touch with their "interns" ("Boots on the ground.") and teach / train them about the game, possibly leading them to become real Studio Wildcard employees. I appreciate in advance any support this forum gets, many will give this negative criticism no matter how good or bad of an idea this is, for all of those who support it, thank you for being optimistic. Without creativity, optimism, and motivation, there would be no change in the world, or in this case, Ark: Survival Evolved. Sincerely, L75LKronosL75L @ Xbox One

Hello i wonder if its possible to color a dino with commands and then breed it to get that color to the baby dino. does any1 have any idea.

I rent a pc server for PS4 and have a cross ark so I can't lock my server. This means when random people show up I have to ban them bc all my server slots are taken. I used to use the Show My Admin Manager command no problem but one day I used it on a person and they left at the same time and it froze the game. Now it immediately freezes the game every time I try to bring it up. Can anyone please help with this?

Here is a run down on whats going on and what we want to do. We are a two man tribe. I am the admin and the other guy is the owner/founder of the tribe. What we want to do is give everything to me. Because he doesn't play as often as i can and i do mostly everything. We want to make me the owner/founder. We want to give me full control over everything like as if I had always been the leader. We would also like to Change the tribes name. If any one can give me a breakdown on how to accomplish this. Or if its even possible. Thank you.

After a yet another new patch (765) and no details on dedicated servers being fixed. I wanted to see if other host are still experiencing these issues on your Xbox one dedicated servers. 1. After loading your dedi server map players can not join because the "join game" option in server friend's list is greyed out. This happens alot after the server carshes and usually has to be restarted 5 to 10 times before players can get the option to join again. 2. After loading your dedi server map players get a "failed connection" message. Same as number 1 problem, and usually requires network and console resets over and over. 3. Server crashes to dashboard randomly regardless of map. SE seems to be the most stable map at the moment, most likely due to low dino count and dino types. 4. Admin deletion; before an update use to drop it would delete all my admins and I would have add them all back and everything would be fine even after a server crash. Now everytime the server crashes to dashboard (daily, hourly, etc) I have to add my admins all over again. 5. "Run Dedicated Server" unclickable after crash. Since patch 762 after the server crashes to the dashboard, after relaunching the game and selecting "Host game" you can not click on "run dedicated server" unless you completely power down your console and restart. 6. Unbalanced dino spawns. Not sure if this is an issue on official servers as well but ever since Ragnarok release it seems like you have to do a dino wipe every other day. If you kill dinos the game seems to only respawn a lesser number. Example: kill 10 dinos and only 5 or 6 repawn in its place. So after a while of killing dinos you get smaller amounts around the map making it harder to find certain dino types. Another spawn issue is a group of the same dino (3 to 6) spawning at the same time in the same spot and they are all stuck together. I have turned down the dino count to .65 and still the spawns are over populated. 7. Unable to unlock all Tek Tier engrams for players. Since the removal of the "upload character" option at the ob's a few patches back you can no longer transfer your physical toon to another map unless running another dedicated server on a visible cluster. All you can do now is transfer dinos and items but you have to create a new toon which starts you at level 1 and no engrams. So you can only unlock the tek engrams from the available bosses on that particular map. Which brings us to number 8. 8. Running 2 dedi servers but cant see them in cluster. All players are located in different areas but when I run 2 dedi servers on the same network at home from the same location I cant even see them when I go to the OB to see if I can transfer. 9. Load file map crash. Not sure what the right term is here but these issues are still happening. The island will crash at Volcano_Entrance file, The Center will crash at Underworld_near, and now Ragnarok is crashing at Old_z_Splines file. I can usually reboot and it will load but ever since patch 757 my island map and center have never loaded again since. 10. Dedi server not showing in server list. I have never been able to see my dedi server in the server list on the join ark page. I can see some but never mind. Does anyone know when they are fixing this? This would help out when situations like a greyed out "join game" option is happening. Sorry if this is a repeat guys and girls but these issues with dedi servers has been around why longer than some of these topics. Im not a big fan of game expansions, upgrades, etc. If the base game and mechanics has not even been fixed yet. I know there are more issues but these are the ones that tie up my time the most when trying to keep a dedi server up and running for my community.

I've searched the forums and online and can't find anything on this. I am running a dedicated server on XBox and we wish to remove the leeds. I've seen some people are able to sub in text on PC but we can't do this on the XBox Dedicated Servers. So does anybody have a good admin command to accomplish this or is it just impossible? Thanks!

Really need to be able to admin lock vaults or at least be able to enter a vault when you know the code eventho the vault is higher rank then you.

Alright, several months ago when I was on single player I decided to setup a password for the admin commands. (why, idk, don’t ask) The problem is I do not remember the password. Now I cannot enter any commands without entering the password. As a work around, I deleted the server data. I still cannot enter commands. Is there a way to reset it w/out having the original password? Please help! We would like to try a practice run thru of the Ascension cave.

Recently my tribe was insided ( we lost 18 giga eggs). I already have a ranking system set up (Recruit, Member, Trusted) and only have 4 admins. Has anyone got a really good setup that works for them?
