Server won't start unless password is specified
Hi All! Thanks for viewing :)
I'm trying to start up a dedicated server on a Pterodactyl Panel instance. For those unaware, Pterodactyl is a Gameserver manager for Linux distrubutions.

I've tried several different eggs (eggs are basically installation instructions that Pterodactyl uses to install gameservers, to put it simply) and none of them show up in the server browser unless a password is specified. I've tried modifying the startup command manually to remove the
?ServerPassword=
section, but that also makes it not appear in the server browser. Here is the complete startup command:

rmv() { echo "stopping server"; rcon -t rcon -a 127.0.0.1:${RCON_PORT} -p ${PEER_PORT} -p ${ARK_ADMIN_PASSWORD} KeepAlive && rcon -t rcon -a 127.0.0.1:${RCON_PORT} -p ${ARK_ADMIN_PASSWORD} DoExit && wait ${ARK_PID}; echo "Server Closed"; exit; }; trap rmv 15 2; proton run ./ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe -Port=7778 TheIsland_WP?listen?MaxPlayers=100?SessionName="dinos! (theisland pve) fast tame/hatch with 10x weight"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27021?RCONEnabled=True$( [ "$SERVER_PVE" == "0" ] || printf %s '?ServerPVE=True' )?ServerPassword="123"{{ARGS_PARAMS}}?ServerAdminPassword="dinos" -PrideColors -WinLiveMaxPlayers=100 -oldconsole -servergamelog$( [ -z "$MOD_IDS" ] || printf %s ' -mods=' $MOD_IDS )$( [ "$BATTLE_EYE" == "1" ] || printf %s ' -NoBattlEye' ) {{ARGS_FLAGS}} & ARK_PID=$! ; tail -c0 -F ./ShooterGame/Saved/Logs/ShooterGame.log --pid=$ARK_PID & until echo "waiting for rcon connection..."; (rcon -t rcon -a 127.0.0.1:${RCON_PORT} -p ${ARK_ADMIN_PASSWORD})<&0 & wait $!; do sleep 5; done

The only part that's important to the server's startup is this part:
proton run ./ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64/ArkAscendedServer.exe -Port=7778 TheIsland_WP?listen?MaxPlayers=100?SessionName="dinos! (theisland pve) fast tame/hatch with 10x weight"?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27021?RCONEnabled=True$( [ "$SERVER_PVE" == "0" ] || printf %s '?ServerPVE=True' )?ServerPassword="123"{{ARGS_PARAMS}}?ServerAdminPassword="dinos" -PrideColors -WinLiveMaxPlayers=100 -oldconsole

I didn't make this startup command, as it was default with the egg I installed on the panel.
It is very similar (possibly the exact same) as the 'normal' one from the pelican-eggs repo.

If you need any information from me, feel free to ask as I'm happy to provide. This has been a real head scratcher for me :/

Anyways, thanks in advance for your time!

Forgot to add, running default ports and they all are properly portforwarded. This is backed by the fact the server is viewable and joinable when a password is set.

Game: 7777
Peer: 7778
Query: 27015
RCON: 37015 (Not Portforwarded)

It's viewable and playable when a password is set, verified just now. I've created an imgur gallery to explain:

Due to the way my monitors are, it's a really weird crop but I did include a full image of the server browser so my filters are viewable.

The unofficial servers show up but when you try to join it says no session found. My nitrado has been in a constant state of resetting since they officials went down.

Huh, weird. I'm able to join and play it just fine, assuming that there's a password set.
