how to remove host barrier on non-dedicated ?

[Azir0xx]

Yo guys, I just started a new adventure with my friend and we can't go further than 190m from the host. Do you have a solution please?

there is a setting to change it but it doesn't get that much better in ase you could remove it with the setting by making the barrier really big but you just can't in asa I guess

You can't right now it's bugged or they just don't allow you to either way tried everything even changing files and nothing worked. It doesn't save it when you set it bigger in the settings so either they are doing that to force people into paying for servers or its a bug.

Random idea, did you try setting the edited file to "read only" before starting the game?

I have not will give that a shot and see if it works would really be nice to play some more that tether is killing me being dragged around or sticking to each other.

It was in ARK, it's known as the tether system. Sticking with the host= less resource allocation usage because you aren't rendering the entirety of whatever your friends might be getting into. You'd have to have a really strong computer to host/generate multiple accessible areas in this game.

In Evolved, the way to get around it is to host a dedicated server and play on that instead. That removes the tether completely. However in Ascended it seems this option has largely been removed.

Oh yeah its defo for performance, but there was a slider in old ark to increase it. I only played with one friend so we cranked it right up and all was fine. As far as i can see from posts the slider is still there, it just does not function atm ;)

I think it only cranked up to 500m, which sounds like a lot, but it really isn't in the grand scheme of things. In ARK ascended, I'd be wary using it haha.

Just double checked on old ark you have to click in the box instead of using the slider, then instead of cranking it from 1.0 to 3.0 you can type any value like 100.0. Dont remember the value we used (think it was 500) but my buddy said it was working fine for him :)

thx il will try

[TyrantXP]

in Ark Survival Evolved you can type number, really big number and it stays so you can have Non-Dedi players go anywhere.
No need for file changes or servers.

Also Night of the Dead game made by 2 people in UE4 have no limitation of this
why UE5 devs do something about that, Conan Exiles have that shet as well

did they remove the option to change it because its not there for me anymore idky
