ARK Update 7/5 Broke server

Post by mennes »

Hello, I have a managed ARK server running TheCenter. Today they updated ark, and now my server time is stuck at 00:00 and no one can connect to it? I restarted the server a few times now, so im assuming something in the update may have broke the server. I am not running any mods, so if anyone else is having this issue please let me know!

EDIT: I checked the ftp for "version.txt" and it says 244.2, which matches up to the current client version

That's definitely odd. Can you try connecting to our test server to see if it works?

Didn't think to check that out.

I can join that server, so it must be something on my end. Its just odd, i hadn't changed anything prior or after the update.

What happens if i try to repair the server? I am wondering if maybe some files are missing or something

A repair just checks the server files against a known good copy and replaces and missing or corrupted files.

Seems to be a known issue/done on purpose.

Thank Reddit, as I wouldn't have seen that otherwise ;)

P.S Don't tell my boss I was looking at cat pictures on the internet while working..

Your secrets are safe with me...but i am unsure about the forum ;o




My server is still not allowing me to connect. I even did a full repair. I will have to look into it tomorrow, hopefully it starts to magically work by tomorrow >.<

If it doesn't start working it may be worth trying a server wipe to see if that helps out at all. You can also contact us to see if we see any notable issues on our end.

It ended up being, i only have 4gb of ram on the VDS. This update made it so when the server starts up, it uses way more RAM...So I am just going to see if i can get my vds switched over to the ark server. Much cheaper that way. But i have already done this in the past, and i was told it was a one time thing to switch like that.

So, turns out its a RAM issue. Stupid ark update :C

Seems it is just the initial startup. New biomes and creatures to spawn. After I updated, it did start a bit high but dropped off pretty quick. However, with 64 gigs of RAM, the RAM thing really isnt an issue for us. I would expect similar situations like this in the future as well, since they are always adding more new content instead of working on fixing actual issues. :roll:
