Ark How to increase difficulty (Single Player)
I know that the slider exists in the main menu but it maxes out at 1 obviously. But at that max dinos spawn up to level 120. I've seen servers and videos where the max level is 150 which I want in my world but can't figure out how to set up. I KNOW that it's probably in the game ini. file but I haven't found a tutorial video or had any advice that worked. Help would be highly appreciated.

I don't recall the exact syntax but include the word "override" in your google search and I'm sure you'll find it.

In gameuser.ini
Bottom of server settings
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10.0
change the last number to what you want, mines set to spawn up to 330 I think.

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0 in your gameusersettings.ini under server settings.

max level of dino will be 30 times the overridedifficulty.

Thanks guys I'd heard about the overidedifficulty but I put it in the 'Game' folder not the 'Gameuser.ini'

They changed "overideddifficulty" to, "difficultyoffset".:steamfacepalm: It took me like 30 mins to figure that out.:steamfacepalm::steamfacepalm::steamfacepalm:

Disable hibernation. SP gets real easy when almost nothing respawns.
