ARK Ascended - cluster files not generated

OS Name/Version: Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS

Product Name/Version: 2.7 - 20260308.1

Problem Description:

A fresh bare metal OVH server (rise-s). I have issues to configure cluster in ARK Ascended.

Not sure what I do wrong but cluster files seems to be not generated - I can see the cluster path/directory have no files in:

/home/amp/arkcluster/clusters/cluster_name

I believe I do everything as described in ARK: Survival Ascended Guide

I’ve spent days trying to resolve the issue - I can’t see a server in the cluster from a game PoV.
I have vanilla settings and I am able to login to each of server separately - I just can’t travel between servers.
I am waiting 15min (just in case) after ARK instance starts for some possible sync (not sure if that is really needed).
I have no password on my servers.

Good to mention that I’ve made as a root:
chown -R amp:amp /home/amp/arkcluster

Steps to reproduce:

  • Configure ARK Ascended instances in AMP
  • Setup Ark Ascended clusters in accordance to the * guide
  • Login in the game to each of ARK instance
  • Can’t see another server to travel (via Obelisk)

Actions taken to resolve so far:

  • Search forum
  • Ask AMP Discord community, post title: “Ark ASA Ascended Cluster not working - files not generated?”
  • Ask AI
  • Tried with minimal and not minimal application
  • Tried to run in and without container considering the guide
  • Tried with debian, same issue there
  • Tried to disable firewall - still not working
  • Multiple restarts, wipes, re-runs
