First server start and restart loop

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
Support Wizard: https://support.nitrado.net

    server can be found, but you can't access it, sometimes when you can get in, players are kicked seconds after the server. Xbox platform, I would like it resolved as soon as possible. Thanks.

    If you are still having issues, some basic things to do:


    (1) Restart the server. If is hangs, about 5-10m a button appears to forcestop, then restart.

    (2) Check out the server logs. If you see crashstack, that more likely is a corrupted gamefile. It happens with ARK. Sadly the resolution is to rollback to the last known saved file. And no way knowing which one is bad. Some folks that do not feel comfortable trying this- you can contact Support.

    (3) If this is a new server, try a reinstall. *note: sometimes this happens after a game update. Wildcard suggests to do a recovery backup.

    (4) If all the above fails, please contact Nitrado Support to further investigate. If you already have please continue to be patient. We are unable to assist you here in the forums.

    Moderators have no access to servers or accounts. We are volunteers and able to share experiences just like the rest as this is a Community Support Forum for Gamers and Admins just like you and I.

    And what do you do if what you suggest does not work. I seen many people on here having the same issue, many people have support tickets in like myself. And not one single answer to anyone other than what you list above. I think there is something you need to inform us on as we do pay for your services and their are many upon many issues you have and leave us in the dark! So please at least tell us something other than this repeated message you have saved in a list!

    Just a reminder this is a Community Support Forum which means the community of gamers and admins are able to help and assist each other. We are only volunteers here and share personal experiences and info. We have zero access into accounts, tickets, or servers. Only Nitrado Support can help you. Sorry. We are doing exactly as trained. I have been here for over 5yrs.

    Hi, we've rented for the first time a server last friday, to play ark on xbox. We can configure it, it appears for us on the list, but when we try to join, it shows a cant retrieve adrress error... this is embarassing. How can we fix that ? we are currently losing our money
