Can't use admincheats in dedicated server

[Tommie]

Hey so I've tried using the console access thing, ive done enablecheats "admin password" and nothing seems to be working. I'm in need of a dino wipe but can't currently.
Any advice? Thanks in advance

It works. I did a dino wipe earlier and watched a trike disappear in front of me for confirmation. Are you sure you have your admin password set correctly in the config?

At first, I had my password and admin password in my server launch parameters. I took that out because I realized it was writing the incorrect admin password in my config file. Double check what you have in your config and that you are entering that password correctly.

Yeah I have both on the launch parameters, so you're saying I should remove those and set them up on the ini files? I will have to go for now but I'll make sure to try tomorrow. Thanks for the reply tho!

Most people use a mod to enable admin commands on their servers. Don't know what it is called for Ark Asc. You'd need to search for it.

Just tested it, it worked! Removed them from launch options and added them to gameusersettings.ini

can you tell me how because I also cant get my cheats to work

[Elrondolio]

My cheats are not working either on a dedicated server (have had password in the batch file and in the gameusersettings.ini but neither worked). Using 'enablecheats password' doesn't enable them for some reason. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Found a solution here at least: ASA seems to have a parsing bug in the batch file when it comes to admin passwords. To solve this, make sure ?ServerAdminPassword=<password> is the *last* ? argument in your batch file, before the "-" dash arguments, of course. Like this example:

ArkAscendedServer.exe TheIsland_WP?listen?Port=<port#>?QueryPort=<port#>?ServerPassword=<password>?ServerAdminPassword=<password> -NoBattlEye -mods=<modid>,<modid>

If ?ServerAdminPassword=<password> is not last on the arguments list, it won't work properly, at least here. Good luck!

I’m m having same issue. Have tried everything suggested in this thread and nothing has helped. Any one else figured anything else out to try

Just remove it completely from your batch file. It is not needed there and just causes issues

Would anyone be willing to share their config file contents? I am also struggling to get cheats enabled on my Private server. Thank you.
