How to Turn off Player Respawn Timer in Config File?
Title pretty much says it all. I'm playing on a 2 person server via LAN that I set up for me and my son. He died and it will not let him back into the game for 17 days.

What is the exact command I need to put in the ini file to turn off the player repawn timer entirely?

I had this problem before and fixed it by deleting our profiles (which didnt matter because we were just starting). Now that we are further along we don't want to lose our character progress.

I posted this same question over at Ark's official forums and am not getting a response either. 17 days is pretty ridiculous. I don't understand what is even causing this to happen to him. I am able to respawn no problem.

in the Game.INI btw

bIncreasePvPRespawnInterval=False
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalCheckPeriod=30
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalMultiplier=1
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalBaseAmount=0

So it goes in Game, rather than GameUserSettings?

It tried it in both the game.ini and in the the gamesettings.ini. It did not fix the problem.

his character was created on another map. the map was deleted but the character wasn't. now it needs to wait a really high amount of time. easy solution: create a new character and use the cheat addexperience AMOUNT 1 1 command to him

That does sound like the easiest solution. If he dies again do you know if the same issue will happen?

try it, i'm not sure about that. Usually it shouldn't happen again but anything can happen on an early access game :steamhappy:

That peticular setting goes in game.ini. I may not effect currenlty pending spawned players tho as it is applied on death. When wiping maps its a pretty good idea to wipe the chars too. Buggyness when keeping them can rise up as you see. If you drop those settings in game.ini and delete him it shouldnt happen again.

u need go to ark files and delete people characters go to theirs steam profile u have http address at the end is number e.g. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/****119****367***/( i hide some of the numbers with *) in there u looking for this number with .arkprofile at the end. btw they should be in /arkse/ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks. AND SHOTDOWN SERVER BEFORE U DELETE after u save changes turn it on again. This will delete characters and their progress like lvl or items so dont have anything on u:flowey:

you could just use the time command to 'progress' ahead in a few minutes, still looking for the command

edit
SetTimeOfDay
SetTimeOfDay <Hour>:<Minute>[:<Second>]

Cheat: Yes
Target: -
Arguments:
Name Type Description
Hour Integer 0..23
Minute Integer 0..59
Second Integer 0..59, (optional; defaults to 0)

Description: Sets the game world's time of day to the specified time.
Example:

admincheat settimeofday 06:30:00

maybe use this to 'advance' the time 23 hrs at a time :P be sure to feed ur animals if you happen to to it tho

for a previous post that says
"In the Game.INI
bIncreasePvPRespawnInterval=False "

it needs to be TRUE, not false
