AllowFlyerCarryPvE=False This settiing is futily broken even when changing ini format! Need Help!

[Dotann]

Hi I have created my own PVE server and at the begining the argis carried things such as wolves, and dodos, but now it wont carry at all. I tried going into the Ini diagnostics and changing it, saving it and it didnt work. The when that didnt work, after numerous repeats of tries, i deleted my game and started all over again. It still wont work as i get the same results! And yes i am using mods. and i can see how mods make some things not work, but when it did at the begining and not later on, this is where i have the problem? Also why does it work on other servers that are PVE and modded? Did the new update change this or what is going on? If so, its time for me to find a new game.

you do realize that AllowFlyerCarryPvE=False is actually the command to deny the Birds to carry anything?

and actually it isn't broken it works as intended.
If used in ..\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini

[Dotann]

Yes i do, That is why i have endlessly changed it to True! But it goes back to False on its own, which is why its BROKEN!

[Gran]

Uhm usually it shouldn't alter itself. Sorry for asking but you did stop the Server before altering the File?

stop Server > change file > start Server.
If it still changes back to the previous state.
stop sever > edit file and save but do not close the Editor, keep the .ini open > start server (> close Editor once the Server is fully running)

edit: btw if you use a Windows OS for your Server, you might want to take a look at the Ark Sever Manager

It makes no difference start or stop you must be editing the default INI.

I'm just doing this on the Steam profile page of the game, not as an actual server itself, so having the full commands in front of me is not possible. Also while in the server, none of the normal admin commands are working for me. I'm not sure why? In the config it says im Admin and all is true and set up as it should be as in the control. Also i thought after deleting the first game and all the files on both single and undedicated server includinig all the maps i had been on would do the trick, but it didnt. I dont know if this makes any difference, but im on the center map, so i am wondering if the updates have anything to do with it? I will go back in and try your suggestion agian, for the 100th time literallly and im not elaborating. Ive been working on this since yesterday. :( thanks btw for trying to help.

Wait a second, what are we talking here?
Single Player, Non-dedicated Server or dedicated Server?

Cause i interpreted "I have created my own PVE server" as i have setup a dedicated server.
And the solution above is for a dedicated server, that might not work with SP or non-dedi.

What is your current setup (Dedicated third party-hosted, hosting on your own PC, Single Player)? Also what's the full path of the file you're trying to edit? And how are you editing the file (FTP, Arkcon, ASM, local)?

Do you have an admin password set? You can't use commands if your admin password is blank unless you have created a white list for cheats with your steam ID in it.

[Dotann]

Its a non dedicated server. Its only for 1 - 4 players and the free one. I am the only one who has joined.

Settings in then GameUserSettings.ini file will be changed by the game, IF the setting is also in the run command line

So when you run the server, if you have the GameUserSettings.ini with
AllowFlyerCarryPvE=TRUE

but the command line to run the server has AllowFlyerCarryPvE=False, then the game will FIX the GameUserSettings.ini file to match the command line when the game starts.

Check your command line and correct it there.

If its single player or non dedicated, this is the screen that you see in game before you load your server instead of the command line. Hit advance and find AllowFlyerCarryPvE setting and tick it on to fix it the setting there as these settings will override the GameUserSettings.ini EVERY TIME

[Dotann]

This is taken from the Ini file in my Game User Settings. I keep changing it to True but it changes itself back to False as you will see here. I also go into the control panel and try reseting it there too but it makes no difference. It reverts back. AlwaysNotifyPlayerLeft=True

Maybe that helps

[Dotann]

Natjur, i wish it were that easy! I have tried that solution many times prior to resorting to going into the ini files. I went into the Advanced page of the game just before it stars and tried reselcting it in the proper checkmark and it unselects itself. I know this as when i go into the game and use the Argi as nothing will carry (again) i get quickly out and check the same page and its unchecked again like i never checked it in the first place. This has been my delemna all day and i am not the first person either. There have been others who are experincing the same thing. I have checked online and many people have this same issue with no real solutuion that i can see.

[Dotann]

No. it doesnt,, I was here trying this solution yesterday. :( but thanks for trying

[Dotann]

I dont think anyone understands when i say the checkmark in AllowFlyerCarryPvE=False/or True is Broken? for no matter how i try to fix it in the Advanced setting before game or in the Ini files, it wont save? :(

[Gran]

Okay go to ..\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

and change AllowFlyerCarryPvE=False to true
then right click on it (the File) and write protect the file.
start Ark and start the non-dedi Server, Flyer pickup works then (at least it worked for me in a fast test seconds ago)
