That seems identical to what's already in the config. Are you using the latest version?

There's nothing wrong with using the %appdata% folder in TCAdmin. The game server will work as usual.

The issue is not related to this game config, so you're best off creating a new thread or ticket about it. I can't help much more, unfortunately.

They do, they just can't access it. Unless you can specify something like a savepath in a configuration file or parse it as a command line parameter when starting the server, you can't do anything about it.

If you're using MySQL 8, you should uncomment the MySQL 8 lines and remove the MySQL 5 lines.

What's your current script? Please blank out your MySQL username and password.

You don't need to start it with the PowerShell script. You can simply start it using the executable file "IR.exe". All the script seems to do is restart if the process crash - and that's already something TCAdmin does

That's because TCAdmin doesn't update it for existing services. When you change a script that's executed by the Service Manager (like Before Created events), you'll need to click "Update existing services". Only then will the script use the values you changed.

If it's running on Before Created/After Created, you need to go to the ARK configuration and click "Update Existing Services" when you reconfigure the script.

Are you using a custom script to create a database?

Yes, that is possible. Just set the "Executable" to be the .ps1 file. What's the content of the script?

You don't need that plugin. I was just thinking it could be the cause if it wasn't configured properly. Could you paste the entire log here?

If the server is not running, you can't see the console. Console should work otherwise. Do you have the MySQL Manager plugin installed?

As far as I know, that's not something you can tweak from the command line. You can create a custom script that will update the server before each start, but that's going to cause startup times to be really slow.

Yes, TCAdmin will attempt to send Ctrl+C to the game server window if nothing else is specified. You can find some info here about sending Ctrl+C through a script:

What's New in Version 1.0.3 Fixed script that would update ValheimPlus after Steam Update

No, only on Windows.

If you want the latest release, you should just add "latest" instead of the version number.

Have you tried giving access to the ARK_Cluster folder? Make sure that the user can also create files in the folder.

When you start it outside of TCAdmin, you're most likely doing it as an administrator. Administrators will have access to read/write from the drive. You will need to allow the services' users (TCAGame_UserName) access to the drive as well. This can be done by right clicking the folder > Properties > Security.

@Gotteshand out of the box, this config doesn't support using anything but the Cluster Path that TCAdmin sets. It doesn't support mounted drives. With customisations, you should be able to make it work, though. Are you sure that the user running the service can write to Z:\ARK_Cluster?

Make sure that the server is starting correctly. Try starting it outside of TCAdmin and see if it works.

Yes, the config is working with the latest version of TCAdmin.

Is that "Half Life 2 New (UTF8)"? We're using that, and it works fine.

What query protocol are you using, @theprof?
