Steam Setup


Your server IP can be found on the homepage of the control panel. Replace the port number (the 4 digit number at the end of the address) with the "query port" found on the Startup Parameters page of the control panel when adding the server.

  2. Click on the View > Servers menu
  3. Click on the Favorites menu and click the Add A Server button
  4. Add your server's query IP in the format of IP:Port
  5. Click Add Server


Epic Games Setup


Battleeye must be disabled in the startup parameters for connections on Epic Games to work. The server must also not have any mods installed.


  1. Join a single-player game of ARK.
  2. Click Tab to open the console.
  3. Type: open IP:Port and press enter, replacing IP:Port with your server's IP and port information.


If your server has a password, enter the full console by hitting tab twice and enter OPEN IP_ADDRESS:PORT?PASSWORD replacing password with your server password.
