    Please upvote this, For those wondering why your having "Server not responding" or "LAN only". The solution is changing your ISP from CGNAT to a static IP. My ISP did it within hours for me. Now its saying available in the manager. Hope this helps

      @@ZaramuxTheGamingDad so I am currently adding mods but they won't download. I have the mod details page up but all the mod types say not downloaded. Any idea? The folder sizes are at 0 as well. I even went into steam by clicking the mod I.D. and subscribed to the mods but they won't download either. Could this be because I don't have ARK survival bought through steam? I have it through the Xbox store instead.

    I can't add the IP to the steam server favorites. One time it's there one time It isn't. When my friend tries to add it to his favs it doesn't even pop up. It just says the IP with the not responding next to it. All of this happening while the server is running also.

      I don't believe it can be done via the Microsoft version. I think you can install the server by installing stream even with out Ark but I'm afraid even still you wouldn't be able to connect to it

    • @ZaramuxTheGamingDad

      Didn't notice much lag, but I think that's going to vary on the system, I would for sure not do it with less than 16gb of memory

      I'm guessing if you have forwarded the ports on your computer, you might have to forward them on your router as well. I'm having the same issue but am unable to access my routers settings to check if its the case.

      So you can play and run server at same time but requires at least 16gb of ram. You can stop and restart the server any time you want, you can save by pressing backup, it should also autosave every 15 mins
