Problem Description: ARK SE can´t Update or Launch even with diffrent Server Branch (pre-Aquatica)

Hello,
I am trying to set up an ARK SE server but it does not even start or update. I tryed to look up what the problem is but I am not able to solve it. There are no Error messages or Pop-up´s that say anything like code xyz.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Step 1 Create Instance–>chose ARK SE

  • Step 2 Configuration–>Updates–>Steam Downloads–>Server Branch–>Pre-Aquatica
    Step 3 Update

    Actions taken to resolve so far:

    -Reinstall Instances
    -Went of the Cubecoders Forum and search for the problem I am having.
    -Found Articels like “ARK: SE can’t launch the server” tryed it, did not help :frowning:

    • googled it, did not found anything that looked like my problem.

At some point there was a red message in the console that said:

WARNING: setlocale(‘en_US.UTF-8’) failed, using locale: ‘C’. International characters may not work.

I looked it up and solved it by using

sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

Since then I had no pop up error message but it still isn´t working.

What version of the template are you using? What happens when you start the server?

Hello,

thanks for the fast response first of all.

I am using the ARK: Survival Evolved” template. Today I pressed Start and it worked……..


I dont know why but maybe I was irritated by the red “bash” and “SteamCMD” and thought it isn´t working without trying to just start it. I was just a silly.

ARK: Survival Evolved minimal is also working.

I also tryed the ARK: Survival Evolved (Minimal with Server API), got a error message :

I now have figured it out and have no problems anymore.
