Ark server not showing in Steam

Dear forum members,
for some time now we have been creating and maintaining new ways to help game server admins with questions and problems as quickly as possible, e.g. our Guides section and the Nitrado Community Discord.

Therefore, we inform you that the Nitrado Forum will be closed on March 31, 2023. We are consolidating our community support to our Discord channel, which is faster and more efficient. We have also seen incredible growth in our community due to the hard work of our moderators and our bots. We are confident that this move will ensure that we provide the best support possible for our users.

Thank you to all members for your continued use of the forum!

Assistance with all questions concerning your Nitrado service can now be found in these spots:
Community Discord: https://discord.gg/nitrado
Guides section: https://server.nitrado.net/guides

  • I have had my server for quite some time. A few days ago-January 26, 2022-;( I reloaded a former map -Crystal Isles to play and my server has refused to show in Steam since. I have tried everything I can think of. There are no errors showing so I am at a loss?

    We were on the Fjordur map previously which was deleted as we thought the mod was buggy and will wait for the actual map in June. The map worked just fine as far as loading so really confused now.


    Thanks.

  • If you are trying to bring back CI as when the map was a mod, not a DLC it will not work. Have to load the DLC on the server. Also have to remove the CI as a mod on the clients, and get the DLC. They are 2 different maps. This forum does already have a post in great detail from when it moved to DLC with specific instructions.

  • It was not the mod, it was the DLC. We played it in October. then moved to another map. I followed the instructions you had in a post from a while back. The problem I am having is it will not load. and above is the log file I am seeing. The only map mod we have run so far on my server is Fjordur and I removed all of it to wait for the actual map to be released.

  • Hello,

    This is a Community Support Forum for gamers and admins to interact with each other. We have no access to your server or accounts. Just so you are aware of that. We are volunteers in the forum.


    As for the map, even once you install the map, restart you then would need to go the services of the server, and select the map, save, then restart. I have ran several DLCs, and custom maps with no issues. It may be server related if you had already tried everything. Only Support can assist you. Sorry.
