Ark: Survival - I have setup some servers if people wanna come play

Maybe up the multis a little more, not the xp ones but the taming and gathering. People find it hard to spend all day on a 4 year old game.

This a hundred times!

Largely why I stopped playing on the other servers.

Although if being able to unlock certain things is going to be tied to level then maybe up the XP or allow all perks to be unlocked regardless of what level you are.
 
No random?

This 100%, default levels are way to grindy for certain things, when I was running servers for it a few years I used a custom XP curve and added quite a few levels to the cap for both player and dino.

The main one which I think was totally broken was the maturing rate for babies in the breeding mechanic, which at default would have you 'babysitting' them for 6-10 hours, before they could even eat from a trough, then if you missed the prompt to feed them by around 30s they died (on high level rex/spino/quetz anyway).

Anyway, I'd be up for joining in at some point, will have to shuffle some stuff between drives to make room, which was the reason I quit playing it before - What is the full install size with all maps now (and does it still 2-300GB spare space to install updates)?

Picked this up from Epic, I'm assuming it works fine and I can join the server?

It should do, was never tied to steam as far as I know (although did use the default steam query port so not 100%, but I can't imagine they'd have launched it on Epic and only be able to play with people who'd done the same!)

Cool, thanks. Hopefully will get a chance to give it a go tomorrow.
 
I'm getting hacked off with this issue and I don't know how to resolve it.

I tried disabling all mods, I tried deleting and reinstalling all mods and I tried switching the server to P2P instead of UPD and nothing has worked.

Other people can get on the servers fine.

I have disabled my firewall on both windows and now my router and still have the time out problem. So it isn't firewall related.

I wish ark had a log file to show what the problem is....

I have deleted the game and reinstalling, I already did a steam file check but this is my last option now.

EDIT: reinstall didn't fix it.

After a while troubleshooting why I couldn't find the server, seems theres a number of issue trying to find servers through epic games. Doesn't seem to be a fix currently, Ill join once they have sorted it
