Ark survival evolved "join failed"

austindbowie · Aug 5, 2022

whenever I try and join a server it works but it wont let me join my freinds or let them join me. I have tried repairing, reseting and reinstalling the game. Im not sure what to do because it worked before on my pc. my freinds are on xbox 1 and I am on PC.

Hope you're doing great today despite this AustinDBowie

In order to isolate a bit more your issue, is this happening with this specific friend the issue?

Do you know if you and your friend have crossplay enabled?

And which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this, in that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

I'll be waiting for your reply, greetings from another Microsoft user

Ark Survival Evolved is a full game, and Ark Extinction is an add-on. Your title and description are contrary to each other and so I'm confused.

If you purchased Ark Survival Evolved then you should be just able to play it. However, if you purchased Ark Extinction then you must also purchase Ark
Survival Evolved.

My friends haven’t been able to join me on ARK Survival Evolved (Non-Dedicated Session), Astroneer, Kingdom Two Crowns and there may be others I don’t remember.

The weird thing is that sometimes they can join me on those games and other times they can’t and it says “Failed to Connect”.

it was for the game ark survival evolved

CIoud.

I have discovered the problem. If anyone has this issue as well, install the Xbox companion app, go to settings, and then network. If server connection or NAT type do not show and have error messages, than follow the instructions that are in the link under the error message. This helped me, and I wasn’t able to find this solution anywhere
