I'm trying to get an Epic enabled dedicated server set up for Ark so my mates can play with the version that's currently free, but having issues getting it running :(

I'm using ASM, and I've run the same server before, but for steam only.

I've tried enabling the -crossplay and -epiconly flags in the server args, but when I do, it doesn't work:

With just -crossplay, I get an error on launch:

"FOnlineSubsystemEOS: EOS_Initialize() threw an exception and was caught in __except block.
FOnlineSubsystemEOS: failed to initialize the EOS SDK with result code (2147483647)."

The server launches and I can connect directly by IP, but it doesn't show in the server browser and I can't use a password.

If I also use the -epiconly flag, the server won't even launch, the cmd window pops up for a fraction of a second and then closes again straight away.

I can launch and connect via the server browser using the exact same config on my PC, so it's not a config issue.

Anyone encountered this same issue before and solved it?
 
Wahey, finally managed to fix this...

Thanks to the totally useful (not) error message, I finally managed to figure out I needed to install the Visual C++ 2015 redistributable - it's now working :)
