Alright, let’s dive into this ARK survival connectivity issue! First off, let’s verify that your server is actually listening for connections properly. Since you mentioned AMP notes that ports are listening, we need to cross-check that.
Step 1: Verify Ports are Listening
To ensure that your ARK server is listening on the correct ports through AMP:
- Open AMP’s web interface.
- Navigate to your ARK: Survival Evolved instance.
- Use the right-click menu:
Instance > View Logsto check if the server logs show any port-binding messages.
Step 2: Check Windows Firewall
You’ve said that the Windows Firewall is open, but let’s be double-sure:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Navigate to System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Advanced Settings.
- Check Inbound Rules for rules allowing your ARK server ports (default ports: 7777 for game traffic, 27015 for Steam clients).
Step 3: Local Network Check
Before we jump into the deep end with port forwarding, let’s confirm that other devices on your local network can see the server:
- On another computer in your network, open ARK: Survival Evolved.
- Try to connect to the server using the local IP address of the machine running the ARK server.
If the game can connect internally but external players still can’t see the server, then we’re more likely looking at a port forwarding issue.
Let me know the results for these checks, and we can move to the next steps!
