Is there an option in Ark server manager for player tracking
Friends and I decided hosting a private local server (via recycled pc) was the best way to play this game. Avoiding trolls, griefers and official server "maintenence" shutdowns.
But now that I'm not hosting from my primary gaming rig we no longer have the 'host player xx distance' location text. Instead only showing players who are roughly 200 meters out. This makes distance traveling, hunting and general exploration more difficult if we get separated. Is there an option in ASM to show all players at all times, regardless of distance? Thanks guys
I checked on the ASM website and there are no existing forums for this issue, and I don't wanna set up another account I'll forget the pass to in 3 days.

Usually people go dedicated over non-dedicated to get rid of the tether distance... closest thing I can think of is to enable the map marker, so you can both see where you are on the map, and use that to help meet up. It should become far less of an issue either way as you learn the map, get flyers, ...

Or you could try putting tracker nodes on each other.[ark.gamepedia.com]

When i was hosting from my personal rig, we could only have 4 players total and the tethering was an issue at first. but after tweaking everything i typed 50 in the tether box and we could travel to opposite sides of the map but we always knew which way to go if we got lost.
Now there are a few more friends playing so i had to start hosting from a seprate pc, which has no tethering since there is no host and the player cap is only limited by amount of ram. but now we no longer have the host location on screen so its easy to get lost while out in the world.
If we have to resort to using GPS and a rendezvous point i guess that will be fine. i was just hoping there was a way to enable location for all players.
Thanks anyway guys
