ARK: Survival Ascended

Steam Description : ARK is reimagined from the ground-up into the next-generation of video game technology with Unreal Engine 5! Form a tribe, tame & breed hundreds of unique dinosaurs and primeval creatures, explore, craft, build, and fight your way to the top of the food-chain. Your new world awaits!

Troubleshooting

  1. Try starting the server with no mods on a fresh install.

  2. If there are crash logs, they will be available in the Files at ShooterGame/Saved/Crashes/UECC-Windows-*/CrashContext.runtime-xml

Crash Identifiers

Crashes will either stop the server or display 0-5% CPU usage. The number is in reference to RAM/Memory usage.

  1. Server crashing around 500MB is probably either a config issue or a corrupted install.

  2. Server crashing around 750MB is probably commandline issue.

  3. Server crashing around 1GB is probably either a MOD conflict or corrupted SavedArks files.

Known Issues

  1. ARK: Survival Ascended, currently, does not support more than one server per IP. These are Windows Server files running on a Linux container; so, we believe this is the issue.

  2. ARK's wiki heavily reference A:SE and not all features are available in A:SA.

Minimum RAM

This server requires about 11GB of RAM to run with no players on a default map.
