  • Hello,

    I'm having issues with my Ark Xbox servers in my cluster not saving or autosaving even though they are coded as such in the GameUserSettings.ini in Expert Mode:

    [ServerSettings]

    AutoSavePeriodMinutes=15.000000


    My server backups are not saved 15 minutes apart. They are random and sometimes have gaps of 2.5 to 7 hours without saves. Also, the Admin cheat "cheat saveworld" does not create a forced save within my save folder. Attached is a picture of my current save folder from Ragnarok. I can successfully do rollbacks to a selected save folder, but I want to have reliable saves before I make code changes, so I don't need to rollback several hours to the last save. Please help, and thank you in advance!

  • Thank you for that info! I've spent hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Can you explain why the server saves are so random in intervals? My saves range from 2 mins apart to 6 hours apart. Is there anyway to know when the server is going to do a save?
