Playing ark on a series x, no unofficial pc sessions are showing up

I am also unable to view official dedicated server and unofficial pc sessions

I have a subsription with Nitrado its working for my xbox but my pc is unable to view any of the 2 sets of servers. It has worked in the past but for some reason now its not working.

I have also uninstalled Ark and reinstalled it and still nothing showing up under official dedicated or unofficial pc sessions.

I purchased it from windows store on the pc with play anywhere

Yes, all "Unofficial PC Sessions" when attempting to play via Cloud Gaming session.

Single player and "Player Dedicated Ark" server sessions will load fine in Cloud Gaming.

"Unofficial PC Sessions" servers will load fine if played via the Xbox Console itself.

Error given in Cloud Gaming session is "Cloud Not Retrieve Address".

Issue has persisted for 3-4 days now and appears to be affecting all players through Cloud Gaming. Numerous reports in Ark Official community website, official Discord server, and Reddit.

Xbox Support told me that anyone gaming this issue should report it as an outage through the Xbox Services Status page here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

Hello,

I was researching the problem that may be messing up your game. This seems to be on ark side since on ark forums they are having the same problem ARK
Thread. You can try to contact the ARK employees through https://support.survivetheark.com/hc/en-us and see. Were very sorry your experiencing this.

Hi murdermayhem9!

Since this happened after an update, it's possible that the issue is related to it. Let's first try to verify and repair your game files.

Open the Xbox app for Windows.
In My Library, select the game title.
Select the More options (…) button and choose Manage.
Select Files and then Verify and repair.

Please also check your network status by following the steps from the link below if it's related to your network.

Don't forget to check for your Windows updates and get all updates available from your Microsoft Store.

Check for Windows updates - https://support.microsoft.com/windows/update-wi...

Get updates from Microsoft Store - https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/g...

If the issue is isolated to that game only, I recommend to directly contact the game support here https://support.survivetheark.com/hc/en-us as possible it's a server-side issue from their end.

Fun fact

There is the typical tether for a PC host, but if a Series X is hosting the non-dedicated session than the PC player will not have the same tether limitations.

I.E. Series X as the host almost removes the tether that's experienced by a Series S or Windows PC host, regardless of PC specs.
