Updated [Solved]: Console Commands Not Working...
I started a dedicated server and went through all the measures to make sure everything was set up right.. when i start the server (after waiting the extreme amount of time for it to appear in the server list) I join the server and try and use console commands and none work.. its getting me very aggravated.. the only command that show some type of response is the time command.. but it immediately sets the time back to its original place. I've been to all the sites about which commands work and which don't. I have made sure to update, restart, and all the good stuff. reset the password before. i even reset and recoded the config files.. still nothing.. Ark Dev team need to add some type of message relay that lets the user know if the command successfully went through or not.

Update: Still not working, even after update 171.31
Update 2: Now working in Version 171.6 ; Thank You !

I got mine working, I had to double check my gamesettings ini file and double check it had

[AdminPassword]
Password=xxxxxxxxxxxx
ServerPassword=xxxxxxxxxx


but I will have to test it again on latest version.

Still not working on a v171.5 server.

enablecheats does nothing.

It used to work. Stopped after updating the server two hours ago.

I edited the gamesettings.ini file for the new format exactly as the server FAQ describes. It was a copy/past

I have had to restart twice now and bother all the players.

Please get this fixed....

I found out what was making it not work for me. My server provider has the GameUserSettings.ini wrong slightly. I had to move the admin password under [ServerSettings]

[ServerSettings]
ServerHardcore=False
ServerCrosshair=True
ServerForceNoHUD=False
ServerPVE=False
NoTributeDownloads=True
DontAlwaysNotifyPlayerJoined=False
AlwaysNotifyPlayerLeft=True
GlobalVoiceChat=True
ProximityChat=False
AllowThirdPersonPlayer=True
MapPlayerLocation=True
DifficultyOffset=0
ServerPassword=
ServerAdminPassword=password

after changing this I was able to use all the console commands after logging in ect.

previously before this my server provider had it setup something like this which WASN'T working for me

[AdminSettings]
AdminPassword=password
ServerPassword=
