ARK: Survival Evolved - Catch All

I was online a bit this weekend and the island server is in need of a mod update it seems. I was wanting to do some cave runs when it's updated.

I'll have a look when I'm next at a pc.

Keep in mind though that The Island server was only meant to be temporary.

EDIT: It doesn't seem to find any mods that need updated, so many it sorted itself out by the time I got to sit down this evening. You can let me know if that's not the case, and I'll give it a good thrashing.

Hmm, I still get the same thing when I try to log on to the Island. It says to make sure all mods are up to date with the server then it times out. It could be on my end as far as I can tell my mods are up to date but I will look into reinstalling them.

Also, I do know it's temporary just trying to get the most out of it while I can.

Weird, it definitely thinks it's all up to date:

Just to be sure, I'm force-reinstalling all the mods on theisland only, and i'll give it a restart when complete. Hopefully the next time you try it will all be back to working happily

I was able to get on the island just fine now. So all is good thank you Omni your the best.

I am unable to get to either server due to mods being outdated. I sent you a Steam pm also Omni.

Having a look now!

arkmanager didn't find any updates for Ark or Mods, but it may have just been that they were installed but not restarted/applied.

I've restarted both just now, so they should be back up in a few mins. Let me know if you still have issues and I'll look into what mods updated last and force-reinstall them.

I'm thinking about starting an Extinction server. Is there any way for us to bring our characters from the Ragnarok server to a new Extinction server?

After a quick chat with Lightning, he very kindly gifted me Extinction.

I plan to swap out The Island server in the cluster for an Extinction one.

I'll hopefully have this up and running either tomorrow or the following day, depending on my available time, as well as allowing any other interested players to shout out if they want something off The Island server. I won't delete it fully, it'll just be dormant, as running 3 at once would be heavy going.

Sound ok?

I think Spork has a few dinos on the Island and I have a few also and will try to get transferred back tonight.

does this mean all the stuff on Rag is gone? I've not played in forever, but liked what i did and wouldn't mind dabbling back with it at some point.

Rag is still active and all of your stuff is still there.

Omni - We transferred everything from The Island back to Rag so you can take down Island.

Ragnarok will still be there, and they'll be clustered so you can travel between them using the obelisks.

If no other complaints/queries raise, then I'll start preparing the Extinction server and get it connected to the cluster, then pass to you guys for initial testing etc.

Ok, Extinction server is up and connected to the cluster. To travel to the new server with your existing character, please travel there using an obelisk, rather than joining the new server directly.

Direct connection details (for adding to favourites etc) are the same as Ragnarok, except on port 27018.

Let me know if you have any issues.

I can't seem to find the server. Trying adding to my favorites using the same IP as Rag but with port 27018 and couldn't find find it either.

I didn't have any trouble here. I would guess Lightning didn't have trouble either as we were on Extinction together.

I don't think it's down, but I am switching suppliers for my domain that links to it, that's all I can see that's changing.

Should be available on 88.198.54.12 port 27018 ?

Hi Guys, I picked this up with all the DLC. I plan to play PVE solo only with boosted Xp rates. But can some one give me some idea about how all the DLC / maps work together ? Can I play one character from the Island all the way back to earth? What settings are important to fiddle for solo play? Thanks

You can use the obelisk to upload your character between the different maps in single player. There were issues with people losing their save data though so just be aware of that. You may want to be in the habit of saving your character file into a USB or another folder in between sessions.

I think they added a checkbox in the settings for Single Player Settings default. I've read that this balances out everything with 1 click but not sure what the settings are.

As far as settings, there is a ton you can play with and tbh, It's probably best to watch a tutorial. This video has some pretty decent settings and explanations if you just use the in game settings adjuster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSXM...

You can also go into the game.ini file and adjust to your hearts desire in single player. This website shows every game.ini customization you can make.

Again, I'd just find a good online tutorial as there is a TON you can change.

Anyone going to give the Atlas game a go?

You put it in the wrong forum

Meh, I don't really differentiate between 'game' and 'MMO' as much as this forum, apparently..

Hey all. My kid is playing a local instance, giving me the itch to poke around again.

Anyone mind if Omni temporarily brings down one of the maps in order to spin up the Center so I can upload my stuff for a transfer to Rag?

Does anyone around here have experience using the Beacon app to modify loot drops?

Syd and I have been playing Atlas lately and I don't have an issue with that. You can gear you kid up at the Viking Bay base. feel free to use anything there.

I think I'm the one online the most at this point and it's fine with me.

Ok, great. I'll hopefully get a chance to do this tomorrow during my day, when you're so asleep

Will update when complete. Just to be clear I will be taking the extinction server offline while the centre is running, then I'll switch them back once we're ready.

Thanks for the accommodation. I won't be long once its up.
