Non-Dedicated ark server not showing on LAN and for any of my friends.

[Tminus]

I host a non-dedicated server on my computer for my friends and me today i updated to the server and launched it.

When launcher finish i opened Ark and went to LAN to connect and it didnt show up so i checked around the files and found that the Rconport changed from 27015 to 27020 I changed it back to 27015 and tried again but it still was not shwing up.

I next tried updating the server again and varified my ark files intetrigty both went through and tried again and again it didnt show up.

i also tried joining through the Steam Server viewer and my server did show up there but trying to connect that way gave me "Unable to query server info for invite"

i have not changed anything with the server for over a week and the server worked perfectly fine the night before.

Ip and ports are all the same and nothing changed on my end.

so im looking for help with this problem.

did you forward all the ports in your modem/roughter? is you IP static or dynamic? What ports did you forward if you did and did you forward TCP and UDP (Ithink the guide says UDP but ARK uses both) ark also rotates ports from 27000 - 27050 and 7776 - 7779 UDP and TCP (Although it always show that it's using 27015 and 7777) and it uses 32330 TCP to talk to the server list.

a standard installation would be:
Port: 7777 UDP
Queryport: 27015 UDP
RCON: 27020 TCP

so please check your ini's again if you might have assigned the same port twice.

If you subscribed to any mods make sure both the server and your game have them still. I had the same issue after updating my server. Mods didn't match so it wouldn't show up.

I got it working.

What i did was.

Backed up the world save and Character data and .INIs

Then i deleted everything else.

reinstalled the server brand new then added in my world data, character data and INIs.

then booted it up and it works now.

no idea what happened when i updated this afternoon but it messed up something somewhere.
