    Why was Ark Survival Ascended updated to non compatible versions before all crossplay...


    Why release a known game breaking update for a crossplay game before it was tested on all crossplay platforms? Its been two days now. No update for Gamepass/XBOX App PC players. I am unable to join official servers or servers that have installed the update. At the very least release a statement with a projected implementation date. XBOX App splash page for Ark would be a great place for it. This is amateur hour type stuff from a multitrillion dollar company.

    I’m having trouble hosting a non-dedicated Ark survival ascended server, for some reason my friends cannot join they time out on the Inv when invited

    Hi Julian,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble hosting a non-dedicated server in Ark: Survival Ascended. There are a few possible reasons why your friends cannot join your server, such as:

    - Your server is not configured properly for crossplay. According to the official wiki, crossplay is only supported between Steam and Epic Games Store versions of the game, and between Xbox and Windows Store versions of the game. You cannot crossplay between PC and Xbox if you have different versions of the game. Dedicated server setup - ARK Official Community Wiki

    Disclaimer: Microsoft provides no assurances and/or warranties, implied or otherwise, and is not responsible for the information you receive from the third-party linked sites or any support related to technology.

    - Your server is not using the correct ports for crossplay. According to a guide on port forwarding, you need to open the following ports on your router and firewall for Ark: Survival Ascended:

    - Steam TCP: 27015, 27036

    - Steam UDP: 27015, 27031-27036

    - Xbox TCP: 3074

    - Xbox UDP: 88, 500, 3074, 3544, 4500

    - Your server is not visible to your friends or the public. You need to set a server name and password for your non-dedicated server, and share it with your friends. You also need to enable the option "Show my server to the public" in the server settings. Alternatively, you can invite your friends directly from the game menu or the Steam overlay.

    I hope this helps you solve your problem and enjoy the game with your friends. Have a great day!

    Your Sincerely

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Ark: Survival Evolved Crossplay

    Hello Pecete,

    We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns crossplay for Ark: Survival Evolved between a Windows 10 PC and an Xbox One console.

    It may be best to request information in regards to crossplay through the official
    Ark Forums as crossplay is subject to developer decision
    for the feature to be allowed. Try this out for us and then let us know the results.

    Best wishes!
