They get less control and money from them. They have to get all updates approved before release, and limit how many times per year they can update. So Blame Microsoft and Sony? :P
U don't need another Xbox. Just go to the Microsoft website, create a new account, log that account into ur Xbox, make sure ur main account is set as home account so ur new account gets the Xbox live then make the server on that new account and switch to your main account to play on it
So let’s say if I wanted to go to a friends house and play would I have to bring both my Xbox’s and just leave one idling on the ark server and join and play on the other?
The only reason I want a dedicated server is to remove the tether from non-dedicated ones. If all I need is another Xbox One, I have an older spare I’d gladly use as a server. My question comes in the form of saved data. I don’t really need the server up 24/7 since my friends and I only play when we are all on. As I said, the tether is the issue. So, if I were to shut down the server and boot it back up, will the saved data still be there for my friends to continue where we left off?
Today I was playing with my friend on a dedicated server I was running off cloud gaming on my laptop using a different account. We were fine until I closed the server to change a setting. When I started up the server and we logged back on everything was gone.
It’s very sad that I have to have 2 Xbox ones, because I really wanted to play with my friends because I don’t want the tether barrier or called the range for the host, I really wish they get rid of it soon, thanks for the video though
So... i want no tether on my 2 player game where my partner and I are in the same room... so we need a third xbox for the dedicated server? Thats stupid
@@zaroku2938 I assume based on the video its for Xbox. In which case you have to download the nitrado app and I believe it is around 20 buck a month for 10 slots?
Yup I have to do the same thing it’s dumbest thing ever. They used to have it so you could change the tether distance to max so you could go as far as you want but then they changed it for some reason.
Sir. Karma Yeah that would be great thanks, but make sure your friend is okay with it first, I don’t want to join and bring friends if they aren’t okay with it.
@@Marc-jq7nc yeah fs alright and we also got a non dedicated one just to try it out then we'll make it public ill ask for both bro just let me know and ill let u know bro
i have a computer and an xbox if i am on a different account can i make a sever on my computer and play on that server on my xbox with a different account?
You need 2 Xbox’s and 2 accounts. Make and host the server on whatever acount/ Xbox you DONT want to play on. Home share is just so you don’t buy the game twice.
Im alil confused so i have two accounts. We i make the dedicated sever how do i switch back to my main account with out it saying host left or does the host account have to literally look at the admin page the whole time which in turn we mean i need two xboxs
I know it’s an old post. But I have a quick question… can you for example set this server up… and and then say switch to watching Netflix on that Xbox? Would I still be able to work ?
Will the server just show up in the list of them when i type in the name? and do i have to be online on my second account to run it? idk these might be dumb questions
So me and my friend want to make a server like this but I have a question does my friend always have to have this screen on to inv me to the game or can I just join whenever
With it being on Microsoft store now you can do it with a PC also now. But it has to be the microsoft store version to crossplay with xbox. Not Steam. Not Epic.
I was gonna make a server but i dont have 2 xboxes all i want is to be a be abke to play with my mate but when i load a non dedicated server they join and then it kicks them and if they ever join back again it just kicks them again
Can anyone tell me if xbox hosted dedicated servers are tied to the console and not the account? I've been hosting servers on a second xbox for a couple years and have one for each map. I just added a new account to that xbox hoping to be able to host a new set of servers but it just loads up the old ones instead of creating new ones for the new account. Is this a thing? Am I making a mistake somewhere? Can't find answers anywhere so please reply if you happen to know the answer.
Lucas Garratt I have my own question if you can answer it. If my friend who doesn’t play the game, but has it, created the server. Even if his Xbox is off or he’s playing another game, can I still play with my other friends and grind even though he isn’t online?
Hey if you have a dedicated server running with a password can anyone join through the server list or do they need the password to join said server? Also if you join via friends list do you need server password to join?
Couldn’t you just make another Xbox profile/ account and Make the server on the account then switch over to ur main account and play, instead of buying another Xbox (please someone say if you can do this or not)
How do you update a player dedicated server threw the windows 10 Microsoft version of the game on pc? My server will not update for the new tek raptor. It won't let me and my friends on and it gives us a screen saying client build doesn't match host build. Yet we've all updated our games.
Ok, so you can't host and play on the same account? If you can, how? I don't mind having my xbox live account on dedicated as I play it with family... we don't want the tether...
I cannot get this to work. I have 2 Xbox’s, I did just what you said and when I get on my second Xbox (different profile) I cannot find the server. I search all options, and keep the show password protected but it won’t come up. Any ideas?
I made a dedicated server on a second xbox and everything went fine, but if I close the server cam I get it running again because I cant start it back up??????
What If You Just Make Another Account Put The Settings on the Account Inactivity Off So It Can Run 24/7 And Keep That Account Always Signed In So You Can Switch From Your Main Account To The Account That's Always Running Will The Server Allways Be On Or No?

Question, do I need a second gold membership and a second purchase to make a dedicated server? I got an XB1X for Christmas and I want to make a dedicated server on my original XB1 and play on my XB1X and I wonder if I need a second gold account and to purchase the game twice or not? Just not sure how to do this. Please help! Thanks for any info!
Is there a way you can be signed into one acc on both xboxs but on one you host the sever but on the other one you can signed in but on a different acc bc if not you need 2 acc with Xbox live but that's too much so if you know what I mean please tell me bc Ik it's confusing and hard to explain
You can do it with one by using your game share with a random not live account. This video will show you how to share games and live status. th-cam.com/video/5URoZ6lJr3s/w-d-xo.html
is it possible to run a remote desktop on your PC to run a dedicated server, so your PC is basically running as two PCs so you can host and play from one machine
You would have to create a virtual machine but yet. However if you own the game on steam you can just host via steam CMD. and you dont need to enable virtual machines.

i have a computer and an xbox if i am on a different account can i make a sever on my computer and play on that server on my xbox with a different account?
Codyak Bear did u figure it out
Okay but how do you play on a server I just created?
You need 2 Xbox’s and 2 accounts. Make and host the server on whatever acount/ Xbox you DONT want to play on. Home share is just so you don’t buy the game twice.
@@starwarsgeek3464 does the xbox that has the dedicated server have to be active or can it just have the server and turn off the xbox
Im alil confused so i have two accounts. We i make the dedicated sever how do i switch back to my main account with out it saying host left or does the host account have to literally look at the admin page the whole time which in turn we mean i need two xboxs
I'm just as confused as you my man
You need 2 xboxs. 1 will be sitting looking at the admin page. The other can be used to play on that server. Its a complete scam
Thank you, Leemer. (sorry if I spelled your name wrong)
Does the console have to constantly be on or can it just be in like it’s off/sleep mode and still be the host of the server?
Did you figure this out?
I am also searching for the answer to your question but you asked that question 3yrs ago any luck and if yes could you please share it with us
I know it’s an old post. But I have a quick question… can you for example set this server up… and and then say switch to watching Netflix on that Xbox? Would I still be able to work ?
that is a so cool intro. DANG!
Thanks I got it from Render Forest
I’m finally able to get a server but my friends can’t join but I can on my other Xbox
make them add your gamertag on the other xbox they can join off that.
Lemur's Corner I tried that already
Question do I have to leave my Xbox on for people to join
If you use the nitrado app on the Xbox and rent a server from there can you join off of the same Xbox
Yes Nitrado does not take over your xbox.
If I rent a server from Nitrado, can I invite my GF to play on my server with me? If so, will there be a tether? Thank you!
Will the server just show up in the list of them when i type in the name? and do i have to be online on my second account to run it? idk these might be dumb questions
Yes the second account has to stay online. And the Xbox server search has always been fubar. I suggest joining through the account not searching
So me and my friend want to make a server like this but I have a question does my friend always have to have this screen on to inv me to the game or can I just join whenever
If you create it as a dedicated you can join whenever. As long as the server is live.
@@LemursCorner does my friends Xbox always have to be on for the server to be live
does it have to be on a different xbox or can it be on the same xbox but a different account?
But how do you play it
Is having two Xbox one the only or is there another way
With it being on Microsoft store now you can do it with a PC also now. But it has to be the microsoft store version to crossplay with xbox. Not Steam. Not Epic.

is there a way to cluster multiple dedicated arks off of boxs or if I run my dedis off my PC for xbox players?
Omg thx so much! This is so cool :)
You are very welcome!
i have a 2nd console but when i make the dedicated server it doesn't appear anywhere and when I try to join it nothing happens
U fix it? I have the same problem
The real question is, will the player chain range be gone? I hate being chained to people’s
Yes
Can't join 24/7 with gamer tag. It locks other players out after a day or so. Anyfix for this?

no. For a dedicated server the xbox must remain on at all times.
Hey if you have a dedicated server running with a password can anyone join through the server list or do they need the password to join said server? Also if you join via friends list do you need server password to join?
But if I swap profiles on the same xbox it shuts down the sever?
How can u play on your server as a owner
2nd system and account
Yeah but I have a pc and ps4 can I still play on a 2nd account?
anyone else hear moaning at 4:30 to 4:50?
No
Isaac Plitt no
Yes

Do you need gold membership for hosting a server ? Sry if it is a dumb question
Yes you do
Okay , thank you for the quick answer 🤙🏻
If my Xbox that was hosting a dedicated server got shut off, how do I turn the same server back on?
Load the same map. It auto saves
No it doesn’t
I closed the server and when I got back on everything had disappeared
how do i keep my xbox that is running the server on? If i don’t touch the controller every ten minutes the xbox will turn off.
Check your power settings. You need to turn off sleep/auto turn off etc.
Couldn’t you just make another Xbox profile/ account and Make the server on the account then switch over to ur main account and play, instead of buying another Xbox (please someone say if you can do this or not)
No.
No. Because to host a dedicated server it needs all the limited resources of the xbox
@@LemursCorner no, that's not why.
Can’t I just use a different account to make the server, and play on it with my main account?

i wish u could play on ur own dedicated server....

so i am in the admin screen on my other xbox and when i invite myself it says join failed any help?
admin screen sucks on xbox. I suggest jsut adding as friend and joing from friends list.

how do you play
Add the second accounts as a friend and join off it!
how do you start it?
the thing im trying to figure out is can i do a server restart and how without the world restarting the world so we dont lose all your work
What do you mean by server restart? Server restart just shutting it down and back up or wiping the server?
So I hit that refresh button and I think it wiped the buildings
Can ps4 also join the Xbox servers?
If you apply cross platform play then yes :)
No.
You dropped this👑
Do you have to buy the game again for the other account?
You can homeshare to a second account.
So question, this server is running off of my PC. Everything is working fine, but what if my PC loses power or something. Is the server status retrievable? In other words if the server goes down on my PC can I boot it back up and have our status returned to where it was before?
Yes, but you have to automate backups.
Derek Reagle your server shows up publicly?
Does the other Xbox need gold?
Can I host a server on my Xbox and play the server on my ps4?
Nope you can not cross console. Sorry :(
That sucks but could I rent a server and play it with only one ps4?
Correct I have not messed with PS4 much but from what i understand you can rent a PS4 only server.
Why does nobody tell me how to get out of the admin thingy
You literally never showed up going on another account on the same xbox and going into the server like you said you would
