Damn man, give this man a slap on the back...before feeding him to your tame giga of course. :D Was just finished watching through your old tutorial to set up a dedicated island server when I realized you had these updated ones. Love the work Twitchy, between Ark server manager and your tutorial...setting up an Ark server for me and my mates while we wait for the Ark Ascendant is a breeze compared to my first attempt without either.
Get this man a shield!!! Thank You, Twitchy!!!! I lost my servers after the latest update and was unable to get them back. Starting with a clean install, THANK YOU for this series.
After running a server for me and some friends, I unplugged my pc from the server and installed a new network cable. When i got my pc up and running again, now ASM says LAN only. I contacted COX and they said "we don't allow port forwarding"... but that can't be, as I've been running this server for over 4 years. Any idea what may have happened, or how I can fix it?
@@TwitchyDigitsGaming Hi Twitchy. It appears the IP address is the same. I contacted my ISP and they said "we don't allow port forwarding" which isn't true, because I've been running the server for years without problem. I'm just really unsure/uncomfortable in setting up port forwarding. I've done it before, but it was stabbing in the dark and eventually it worked. :/
I got an i3-12100f, an RTX 2060 SUPER, 2x16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB NVME SSD. How big of a cluster do you think I could be hosting and playing on the same time from such a (PC) build, 5 maps max? I only plan on making it solo/1player max and a vanilla-ish playthrough (max 10 small-sized mods except for ARK Additions: the Collection).
I have been looking around but I have not found an answer for this. Best I can tell you is each server without mods takes between 4 and 6GB of RAM under a light load. So I would fire one up and see how it goes, then two... so forth and so on until you reach your max. Just keep in mind you will not want to be running the MAX amount since the servers would use more resources the more players are on.
ignore the last comment i write it and send it here i can't delete it its for the administration thing but i know now how to enter the administration of this app [ark server manager] but now i made server as what you did in ark survival manger how to join the server in ark? i really need it to play ark eternal mod without crashing
hey man, I have an issue, the server only apears in the LAN section on my ark, and I tried all things and the server doesn't shows in the non official list
The server listings have been moody for as long as I can remember. The best thing to do is have your friends add the server to their steam favorites and filter that way in game. If nobody can find the server that way, then you have a port forwarding issue in your router.

Can i make a server without port forwarding? Because I'm confused how to do it .
If you want friends form outside you network to join, then you have to do port forwarding. You also cannot have clusters unless you port forward. But if you just want to play on a server with people in your house, then a LAN only server would work.
@@TwitchyDigitsGaming
Do I need to do it multiple times to make multiple server?
Yep, each server instance must have it's own set of ports. So each would need port forwarding completed.
Hey man I just wanted to ask what should my external and internal ports be, because I watched NeedyTheNoodle and he said to make 2 ports the first one with the numbers 27015 and the second one with 7777 but that didnt work and the video was 3 years ago. I am with tp-link router btw.
7777 and 27015 are still valid ports for ARK. You will need UDP and TCP forwards for both.
Ok ty
i started one of these and its status shows up as available, but my friends arent allowed to join yet they can see me on the server and everything.
I am not sure what you mean by not allowed to join... do they see the server and try to connect but it fails?
