Unfortunately, there's an issue with CurseForge modpacks that were introduced when I made the last fix to the script. This will be corrected soon. Edit: As of 02-09-2022 14:47 CEST, the fix has been in 2.0.180.0. If you updated TCAdmin before this, please reinstall the latest version on all of your machines.

You will need to configure it in the game settings.

Don't uninstall TCAdmin - just the modules. Once the modules have been uninstalled, you can reinstall the latest version of TCAdmin by navigating to "Check for updates" in the TCAdmin interface.

@Amazing_Pony please don't post multiple replies right after each other. Use the edit feature instead. Both Alexr03.Common and Custom Mods is built into TCAdmin by default. Why are you installing them manually? You will need to uninstall them and reinstall the latest version of TCAdmin again.

@Amazing_Pony those issues are not related to the config but to the CustomMods module. Why did you install the Alexr03.common module? It's not required by the game template.

This is not an issue with the config. It's an issue with the TCACrons module. ServerJars recently updated their API endpoints, and that's the reason. It will be fixed shortly.

Try reinstalling the latest version of TCAdmin again.

@Vicente that plugin is not made by me. You can find the thread for the module here:

@Vicente the ARK config executes SteamCMD as the service user. You will need to use the SteamCMD executable that you find in the same folder as your service files (C:\TCAFiles\Users or /home/).

@Claythrone check the server log to find out why the service is crashing. It could be that it's not starting using the correct Java version. You can change the Java version for the service if that's the case.

@Vicente that is a SteamCMD issue, not an issue with the config. Try starting SteamCMD manually to see why it fails to download ARK.

What's New in Version 2.2.0 [Changed] Query protocol now set to Half-Life 2 new (UTF-8) (a2sutf8) [Changed] Query interval changed from 600 seconds to 900 seconds [Changed] Service will now stop if query fails 3 times [Added] Fjordur commandline [Added] UseFjordurTraversalBuff in GameUserSettings.ini [Added] ark7th event

@platchford02 What does the service's log show?

Unfortunately, I don't think the feature works with MVC yet. You will have to disable MVC or wait for it to be implemented. Read this for info on how to disable MVC: https://help.tcadmin.com/MVC_Templates#Going_back_to_the_classic_ASP.NET_themes

You can already run game services as the same user. Go to the game template and set "Run as" to "Unique operating system user for each service". If a user has multiple services, they are going to be run by the same user - still from separate folders, though. In theory, you could update the paths under "Service Settings" to run from the same directory, but the game would have to support running multiple services from the same directory.

@Kosak0 try starting the server manually to see if it's crashing as well. https://help.tcadmin.com/Troubleshooting_Game_and_Voice_Services

What's New in Version 1.1.2 [Added] "Language" and "Region" setting to serverconfigmain.xml

@jungleNZ I'll make sure those lines are added in the next update. There's a few differences. This config has custom scripts that allows you to backup your world and configuration files. The official one should be replaced by this one at some point.

Are they on the same machine? They need to be for clustering to work. Also, they have to be owned by the same TCAdmin user. If the service was previously owned by another user, you need to go to "More" and update the ClusterPath value.

@Zerek 2019 what is the value of ClusterDirOverride in the commandline?

I just tested a few ways of setting a blank name on Steam and then tried joining an ARK server. In some cases, the 'name' field would report back as "< blank >". In other cases, it would report back as my SteamID instead. Your suggestion will most likely be implemented into the "Half Life 2 new (UTF-8)" query protocol. If that should not happen (if we find an issue with this way of checking the player count), we're going to post an example for a custom query script that will do the same.

This is interesting - but it might be possible to abuse it. What happens if a player with an empty name joins the server? ---- Moved to 'Feature and Module Ideas' instead of 'Bugs' as this isn't actually a bug in TCAdmin - it's working as expected. Your suggestion is noted, though!

What's New in Version 1.6.2 [Fixed] Fix "name 'glob' is not defined" when specifying wildcards in "Additional files/folders to wipe" in the Wipe Server script

As I said previously, the file can be edited just fine. See this: https://streamable.com/5ljqks If you can't change it, it's because you saved the file as read only.

Try upgrading to 2.0.177.6: https://help.tcadmin.com/Updating#Manual_Update Also, the lines can be removed. Save the file to your desktop and make sure it's not saved as read only. It's a simple XML file. TCAdmin won't prevent anything from changing it.
