Teleporting to player every time i touch water

[Cherientism]

Hello, does anyone know how to fix this issue? Every time i touch the water i teleport to the host of our non dedicated server. It is crazy annoying. Thank you for any help that may be provided.

EDIT:
If she gets into the water first, i can get in the water.
If she is even 1 foot out of water, I will teleport to her.
As long as i avoid touching water, i can boat around all i want.
I am not using any mods.
Game fully updated, all DLCs installed.
As far as i can tell, it only happens on the Center on a game that we have been playing for months.
This weekend was the first time i attempted to play in the last 2 months.
This is the first time i have encountered this problem.
The Tether was changed multiple times all the way up to 300,000.
We have tried resetting her settings to no avail.
We gave up and started playing the island instead of trying anything else like:

Running on a dedicated server
Reinstalling
If anyone else has put work in trying to fix this, please comment.

It's the tether. It pulls you back when you're too far from the host for performance reasons

Thanks, I will ask her to up her tether. We were using 3000, which a couple months ago was allowing us to travel pretty far from each other. We did test the distance. On land it seems to be unaffected, but, once i touch water even if i boat away and jump off the boat into the water it instantly teleports me to her.

MAN, WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!

This is why i download and run a separate dedicated server. Functions just like a live one

I have not seen a fix for this yet. It appears to only happen on The Center, we decided to play the Island instead until we find a fix for this. If anyone who has had this issue, is able to fix the problem, please respond. Thank you!

I have not tried a Dedicated Server.
I have not tried a reinstall.
I am not using any mods.

Is there a fix for this problem yet?
I have exactly the same problem...

[deblake60]

Same here guys. :(

[Lomeki]

I have the exact same issue :/

[alfredo.garzahdz]

Yes, this happens to us too!
It also happens when FLYING over water!!!, Player2 falls off the Argentavis as the message on the screen displays that the Player is too far away, but we are literally SIDE BY SIDE

And this only happens in the CENTER, not in the ISLAND, we have played in the ISLAND for months, we ascended, and now BOOM!!! this is ridiculous!

Can u fly. What does the distance say when u do?

Non-Dedicated servers will always have this issue.

No matter how large your set the tether dist, if part of the map is classed as a different instance (normally when enter water or a cave) it will port you to the host

Most people running Non-Dedicated servers have enough hardware to run a Dedicated server and a client on the same machine and that fixes all the issues.

But its not a instance 'hit' run button to get it to work. But Ark Server Manager will take most of the issues out of the setup

Its not that hard to convert your game from a Non-Dedicated server to a private Dedicated server.

They really should remove the Non-Dedicated servers option and just change it to an Dedicated server that also spawns a client. (two running instances tho)
