Temporary Cluster Server?

randyy2001 · May 3rd 2020

Due to our primary being an Xbox console server and having to deal with no passwords... Thought of doing a second server for 30-60 days with CrossArk. Our server is just a family one with 6 of us on it. Gives everyone a challenge to get what they can from the new map before time runs out. if they beg and plead maybe I would keep it. A couple of questions on this:

1. Can we set that up and then stop it when the 30-60 days runs out and the server disappears? eg. engrams, dinos moved, etc

2. Once gone, i assume I can remove the crossark settings from the primary and put password restriction back in.

A couple months later I could repeat with a different map. Should make it easier on the admin (me) to keep others out.

Thanks!

Hello

Yes that should all work just as you described. As long as you keep the password protection off when the two are clustered and keep the settings for allow download and upload you should be good to go.

Also you should be able to password protect your Xbox server. Were you having an issue regarding passwords?

Its password protected now, but based on what you said, and what I read, i have to turn that off when clustered. I will re-enable it after I remove the cluster. Thanks for the feedback!!

randyy2001 that is correct. Also make sure to enable the upload and download of dinos and characters. You will have to enable in the server settings and inside the cross ark settings as well.

Might have missed that, thanks!

I would also suggest because ARK does has its issues.... Those uploading take screenshots of the dinos/items they upload if you are willing to respawn them later in an event they are lost in the upload. Not to scare you, but it does happen.

there are several clusters out there that are password protected across all maps. play with it. make sure the password is the same on both and see if it works.

We suggest not using a password for clusters because it can cause issues when going to transfer to a clustered server. You may lose characters among other character related issues.

If you chose to use a password on clustered servers please be aware this may happen and do so at your own risk.
