Dedicated Server Setting Question

[ConnorNFL]

I've been trying to set up a Dedicated server for a few days now, and have a quick question. (Okay, long question but barebone question is listed in one line.

Question = Where would I alter the PerLevelStatsAffinity for tamed/wild dinos as well as players?

I've read around and I keep reading that it is put in the game.ini under the [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] section of the .ini. However, I cannot find this and am curious if it's simply out of date or only designed for specific types of servers.

An unrelated question, but still mildly pertinent:

Why cant I see this server over anything but LAN?

I have all my ports forwarded and have tested to make sure they ping properly. I have been able to connect my RCON and am using the ARKon tool by very clever, Henry Garle (AKA Face Wound), but I feel that everything is merely operating within the firewall, and not actually connecting to the outside world.

This doesnt make sense to me because I have pinged the ports and they all send and receive to/from the outside just fine.

Please Help,

Thanks to those who do,

A: if the header isnt there then add it yourself.

B: Ark Server Manager (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=468312476) is so much better then the abandoned ARKon be facewound.

Also Ark Commander by sparcMx (see the pinned msgs in the commander channel on his discord https://discord.gg/myKWAGr )

Thanks for this! Any ideas on the other half? Or am I still at the mercy of my own troubleshooting alone to figure this out?

Only issue is, I have all the port forwarding done properly, they're pinging back and forth just fine. I've even taken down my dedicated machines firewall for a couple attempts just to make sure, still nada. I've tried quite a few things to get it working, but still nothing. Port forwarding is not the problem to the best of my knowledge (as well as that of my father who has been running servers and his own company for well over 15 years now).

*Rather, if port forwarding would be an issue, could you explain what issue would be with the ports if they are properly pinging back and forth to/from outside the firewall/Network. Got all the TCP/UDP prtotocols setup properly, TCP 27020, UDP 7777-7778, Query UDP 27015.

Can you see your server on battlemetrics.com ? If it is visble there then its just Arks server list being borked (wich is normal lol)

[ConnorNFL]

I cannot see the server there. As far as I can tell, it's not reaching outside the network.
