SUPPORT & FAQs

To ensure it's fully up to date, your new ARK server is installed from the Steam Cloud after your order is complete.
Please note that due to the size of the dedicated server software of > 5GB, this can - depending on the speed available on the Steam Cloud - take a while.
Unluckily, this is out of our hands. Your control panel will show "Installing update..." as the server status during that time.
The ARK server list sometimes takes a while to show up your server after it was initially started or restarted. If your server does not show up there, you can join it using the Steam link at "Server details" in your control panel.

How do I use Admin Commands in ARK: Survival Evolved?

Logging in as Admin
Press Tab, or whatever you have bound your console key to and type 

enablecheats <password> 
example = enablecheats pass123 

From here you can enter commands.

Whitelisting an Admin
This allows you to use commands without needing to log in as Admin.

Create a file called AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt in the directory /ShooterGame/Saved/

From here, list on each line the Steam64 ID's you wish to authorise for cheat commands, these users will be able to cheat without logging in as Admin.
You can convert your Steam64 ID here - https://steamid.io/
