hello everyone thanks for dropping in if you saw my last tutorial I gave stepbystep instructions on how to install a Arc survival ascended dedicated server uh using a dedicated machine this tutorial is a lot easier we're just going to be downloading the server directly from the steam client using a dedicated machine for the server so what you're going to need is a copy of Ark survival ascended and the steam client you're also going to probably need at least 16 gabt of ram just for the server so first thing we're going to do is we're going to open up the steam client we're going to log in and we're going to make sure we're in online mode if you check right here where it says games and software make sure that tools is selected once you check that off you should see Ark survival ascended dedicated server click that and then hit install once that is finished installing we can just launch the server once the server started we can close it down we can right click on the server hit manage browse local files go to Shooter game saved config Windows Server game user settings so there's a couple things we're going to set in here so under server settings we're going to put if you want a password for your server we're going to add that if you want an admin password so that nobody can go into the conso we're also going to put our ports here we scroll down to the bottom we can change the name of our server so for this we're just going to call it YouTube server also change how many players here is where you can set all of your multipliers I may make another like a short video explaining how that works and how to import it once we're done we'll hit save and close it next we're going to do is we're going to do some port forwarding so I'm not going to go into very much detail about port forwarding but basically what you're want to do is open up uh CMD as an administrator and then type ip config this will show your ethernet adapters or your wireless adapters so if you're on a wireless internet like I am you'll see wireless LAN or whatever your card is called and you're going to look for the ipv4 address and the default gateway so mine's this one right here so I'm going to open up an internet browser and I'm going to put browser and it should bring you into your router settings depending on your router you may have to search up the uh admin password might be on the back of your router but we're basically just going to be going to trying to find uh port forwarding and these are the ports that we're going to have open both UDP ntcp so just as an example we'll click create new rule just going to call it that and I'll put my range of ports right here and for the IP address we're just going to use the same IP address that is shown right here we'll hit create and then save and that's basically all you have to do for the port forwarding next you're going to want to open up Windows Defender Firewall and we're going to make sure that our firewall is turned on if it's green it's turned on or you can click right here to turn it on once that's turned on we'll just click advance settings and we're going to set up our inbound rules so we'll click on inbound rules new rule click port and we'll choose TCP and we're just going to go the same ports that we just used in our port forwarding just like that allow the connection make sure these are all checked we'll just call this one Arc TCP click on new rule again this time we're going to do UDP same thing as before just like that TCP or sorry UDP this time allow the connection rudp and that's basically all we have to do for the firewall now we should be all set to connect to our server all right once we are done the port forwarding and the firewall is open we should have no problem connecting so we're going to start up the server again and from our PC we're going to just going to hit start join game we're going to choose unofficial to type in the name of our server and if you have a password make sure that this is checked also be sure to make sure that this here is set to all uh my server is already showing because I've already tested this but yours might take a minute or so to show up so we'll just give it a minute here we're still starting up on the PC that's holding the server you should see It'll say your server has successfully started once you're ready we'll just click on it hit join put in our password and as long as your ports are forwarded properly and you have your firewall open you should have no problem joining thanks anyone for watching the video if you found this video helpful or if you were able to join let me know in the comments if you're able able to join or if your friends were able to join and if you like the video feel free to subscribe to the channel I do have plans to release a video on how to do this on Ubuntu so stay tuned for that once again thanks for watching and have a great day
