INI Settings

[True19D]

Ok so my server was running just fine before I entered these INI settings and now when I look in my favorites on steam it says < not responding >. Is there something in these INI settings that is causing this?

which ini settings did you change? and is this a server or single player?

some people refer to their personal game as a server so i have to ask

[True19D]

I added all the S+ INIs and it quit working. It's a server I have on Nitrado

[𝔇ave]

explain what is actually happening cos i can't see anything wrong with the configs.

is the server itself not responding or is it your game

[True19D]

The server itself says < not responding > when you go through view > servers > favorites

[𝔇ave]

tried connecting through other means like battlemetrics?

or directly from the Nitrado page

[True19D]

Usually when I try and do that my whole ark game freezes

[𝔇ave]

i gotta ask have you subscribed and installed S+ on the pc?

[True19D]

Yes

[True19D]

I'm really not sure. I suppose if there's nothing wrong with the INI files then I'll have to get ahold of nitrado.

[𝔇ave]

is this a server you intend to play alone on or are others joining it?

[True19D]

Myself and a few friends

[𝔇ave]

do the friends have the same problem?

[True19D]

Nobody has tried except for me because I've been editing all the INI settings.

[𝔇ave]

well we kinda need to figure out if it's a you problem or a server problem. so having someone else try to connect to the server would go a long way in determining that

[Samadhi]

While im not sure of the issue, you should edit out your Rcon port # asap.
