How to access RCON? (Good RCON Client?)
I am a bit of a noob when it comes to server hosting. I assume what I need to do is add the RCON=True thingie to my .bat file, yeah? But what I have no clue about is how do I actually access RCON? I had ignorantly assumed it would pop up a window for me but either I did something wrong or that is not the case.
While we're waiting for the fix anyway, can someone help me out? ^^


EDIT:
Okay, so new Question is what is a good RCON Client to use? Just googling RCON client is not as helpful as I was hoping and I don't know what to look for..

you need a RCON client and then connect to your server with it

Add this to your sever command line

?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=32330?ServerAdminPassword=123
(only need to specify a server admin password if you're not already doing so)

Then you also need to download RCON for your computer.

Thanks for responding! I did get the command line thingy done (I think...) I just wasn't aware you needed a separate RCON client

Before you come with such a sh!t you should check if there is any usefull on google or you just state you are dumb.

Wow, look at how that doesn't help. The third result is even this post. seriously, you put more effort into being obnoxious than trying to find an answer would have been.

ROFL, ah, never seen that backfire before. Usually it isn't used on something that dropped like...20 minutes ago. Google isn't quite that good.

I second this, I haven't enabled rcon yet as it seems to break everything, but I would be curious how everyone is going to access it.

More than likely you may have to wait for someone to create a Rcon Tool for ARK

Ah, thanks! The other answers I got I was under the impression there would just be a generic client you could use...

Hopefully someone will show up in this thread at some point with a definitive answer ^^
