Difficulty 6 instead of 5.
Mito Jul 21, 2019 @ 7:18pm 
So I type 6.0?
Nightring Jul 21, 2019 @ 7:50pm 
Whatever level ya want, just divide that by 30 and make that answer your OverrideOfficialDifficulty number...
So I run my game with level 500 dinos and my toons can go to level 400...

I use this in my GameUserSettings.ini to get close to level 500 Dinos ----->

DifficultyOffset=1.000000
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=16

So where is says difficult level under the general category I put 6 since I want level 180 Dino’s?
And how do I change the override difficulty

DifficultyOffset=1.000000
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6

In your files, For a SinglePlayer Game, if you let steam put everything in the default locations, you will go to --->
Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Inside that WindowsNoEditor folder you will see several Files...

One of them will be your GameUserSettings.ini

Open that file with notepad or notepad++ or whatever...

At the very top once you have it open you will see it says something like this -->
[/script/shootergame.shootergameusersettings]
MasterAudioVolume=0.984552
MusicAudioVolume=0.145727
SFXAudioVolume=0.513520
VoiceAudioVolume=1.000000
UIScaling=0.704449
UIQuickbarScaling=0.597586
CameraShakeScale=0.000000
bFirstPersonRiding=False
bThirdPersonPlayer=False
bShowStatusNotificationMessages=True

And on and on and on....

So Scroll down till you get to this --->
[ServerSettings]
ListenServerTetherDistanceMultiplier=99.000000
RaidDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.000000
StructurePreventResourceRadiusMultiplier=0.500000
PvEDinoDecayPeriodMultiplier=1.000000

And on and on it goes...
But somewhere under the [ServerSettings] just put this --->

DifficultyOffset=1.000000
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6

So you could put it anywhere under that [ServerSettings] heading...

Even right under it if ya want... So it looks like this --->
[ServerSettings]
DifficultyOffset=1.000000
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6

Make double dang sure that it is not already in there somewhere and you are not double posting stuff...
Also remember to back up files before you change them so you have a clean copy if ya mess something up...

Hope that helps...
