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

    Jees..
    I have restored a backup, it was running kinda well for a while, than last night I got a message from one of my buddies that the server rebooted and he got a huge rollback (of over 6 hours) and his whole chacter got reset, he got a nude random character (male) with 2 blur bars..) I don't know what the F is going on but I'm hugely dissapointed with this..


    I'm afraid this is a Nitrado issue, as my firend has a SCUM server over at another host and doesn't have ANY issues at all..

    Another friend had a RUST server here and that was super unstable and wonky as well..

    My first ARK Server here was good, than I switched games and it all went to heck.


    Is there anything I can do? Or is this a well known problem?

    Have you restarted the server after placing it in there?

    Also did you get the Steam64ID (If you do #ListPlayers you can copy and paste it from there I think! :) )

    After placing your Steam64ID in the admin.ini or whatever the file is called than you reboot the server log back into the game and it should work! :)

    Yesterday our server crashed while we were in a bunker, characters froze inn place, couldn't walk anymore, camera movement still worked, so we exitted the game rebooted the server and rejoined, then we went on raiding the bunker and got outside and back to our cars.

    After driving back to our base we logged off and in since that time the server had to automated reboots till this time.

    Now when I log back in the server again I spawn back into that bunker in the place where the first crash happened. Same happens for my squad members.


    Is there anything I can do? Is there a way to have more frequent backups?


    Hope it's fixable. I hope someone can help me fast I'm a YT content creator and was hoping to continue the stream from yesterday in about an hour or maybe 2..

    Bonjour Nyynax!


    First of all, I don't want to promote anything or anyone here.

    But I used the tutorials of Jay Cartere (Or something like that) to setup my Server for my Youtube Channel members.


    That's the link to the playlist Jay has on YT and it helps you understand the settings etc. and where to change them! ;)
    Some things have changed a little bit in the Nitrado setting and Dashboard, but it's still very easy to find and manage! ;)

    Good luck and happy taming! :)

    Good Question..

    I don't really have an All tome favorite, I am really into RAFT, and yesterday I rented my own Nitrado ARK Server and played ARK for the very first time! Man What an amazing game! :D Sooo much fun! :D

    I also enjoy laid back games like Stardew Valley and GraveYard Keeper alot! :D

    The Far Cry Series are games that keep drawing me back though I guess those could be considered All time favorites after all! :P

    Hey Guys,

    I was looking for a solution for my CrossPlatform Server (Steam + Epic) where people had trouble to connect or couldn't find the Server in the Server list.


    I found one and since it's a more common problem than we all like to admit I thought I'd put a little tut down here!


    If you're playing ARK with an Epic Games copy and you have you're Server set up as CrossPlatform (Steam + Epic) you can either try to find your server name in the list which for me hasn't worked for me in the past days..

    If that's your case too you're not as lucky as the Steam users who can add a Favorite Server to Steam so here's a work around:


    If you want to connect to your server from your Epic Games version of ARK, let the players load into a SinglePlayer game first (Character Creation is not important, cause we won't use that one, so skip it).

    Than once loaded in open the console (default key is Tab) and type the following:


    open IP:PORT


    If you use a Password on your server do this:


    open IP:PORT Password


    So for example if your IP is 238.10.6.2 your connection port is 3000 and your password is "NitradoRulez" it would look like this:


    open 238.10.6.2:3000 NitradoRulez

    or

    open 238.10.6.2:3000 when not using a password.


    Then press Enter and it will start to load you into the server if the IP, Port and Password has been correct!


    NOTE: The Port number used here is the connection Port NOT the Query Port Number! ;)


    I hope this helped you out,

    If so go to my Youtube Channel and Sub! :)

    I have been struggling with this as well BUT I come baring gifts! :P

    If your on Epic and you have you Server set up as CrossPlatform (Steam + Epic) you can either try to find your server name in the list which for me hasn't worked in the past days..

    If you want to connect to your server from Epic let the players load into SinglePlayer first (Character Creation is not important so let them skip it), than once they're loaded in let them open the console (default is Tab) and type the following:

    Code
    1. open IP:PORT

    If you use a Password on your server do this:

    Code
    1. open IP:PORT Password

    So for example if your IP is 238.10.6.2 your connection port is 3000 and your password is "NitradoRulez" it would look like this:


    Code
    1. open 238.10.6.2:3000 NitradoRulez


    Then press Enter and it will start to load if the IP, Port and Password has been correct! ;)

    @Moderators or DOAGEN Share this somewhere please or add it to the wiki cause I spend over half an hour searching for this while Streaming the game on Youtube.. :P
    Easy info should be shared! :)
