As before, it is important that the Cluster ID is identical on all Instances.Īpologies if this is not entirely correct, most of this has been from memory. In this example, Target1 will have a local path but Target2 and Target3 will have either Drives mapped/UNC Path/Mount Points which will need to be used instead. Remember the path to the cluster folder may be different per Target, Only you will know what you have configured. Once you are happy that the folder sharing is working properly, proceed with the steps above to configure the ARK Instances. Now delete that file from Target3 and again make sure all servers see the changes to the folder. On one of the other Targets, Target2 for instance, copy a file to the mapped drive/UNC path/Mount point and check on Target1 that the file is present. Test the shared folder connectivity for RW capability. Some may suggest this is a better choice in case there is a requirement for a Windows PC to access the share as well as Linux. It is possible to use SAMBA to share files between Linux PCs/Servers. I have used NFS in the past to do this but feel free to use something else, google is your friend here as to how this can be done. If they are Linux based, share the folder that you chose to contain the cluster files. Windows uses SMB or SAMBA for file sharing. If they are Windows based, either access the share via UNC path or by mapping a drive to it. If the store is on a Windows PC/Server, share the folder you choose to hold the Cluster files.Īll instances will need to be able to access these files with RW permissions. 2 Instances on each Target, therefore, 3 Targets ( Target1, Target2 and Target3) and the decision has been made to store the cluster files on Target1. Lets say you are running 6 Ark Servers in your cluster. In order to achieve this, the process is only slightly different to that above. If you are running Multiple Ark Instances on Multiple Targets It is important that the Cluster ID be set exactly the same on all Instances otherwise it will not work! There will be a file for every player that has travelled to other servers in your cluster. When transferring, the ARK Server will write your character and inventory to this file and that is then read by the server you are transferring to. When a transfer has happened, you should now find the following folder structure and file in your Cluster Directory:Ĭlusters\yourclusteridhere\ and within that folder should be a file with your SteamID. When they are up and running, try transferring from one to another. Perform the same on the other Instance(s) Start the instance and make sure it starts properly. I also found adding the following to GameUserSettings.ini helped: ClusterDirOverride=*/Choose/your/path/here*
