[@SongbirdGaming]

Yeah it's annoying but it's a limit of locally hosted online multiplayer. It's not actually a server. I wish they wouldn't use technical definitions like "non-dedicated server" because few people know what that means. You are hosting it on your own PC or console, and your friends are joining you on there, which is a big strain on your machine. Apparently that's why they implemented a tether. Rented servers or dedicated server machines don't have a tether.

@@lordzeuscannon6400 Minecraft is a very different game that takes vastly less resources to run. ASE was 8 years old and still full of bugs but didn't have the crazy graphics of ASA and was better optimized. Non-dedi is a different thing. It's singleplayer. It uses your single player save. But it opens it up so a few friends can join you. But only if the game can treat it like single player, by keeping all the players together in the same area. If you don't want a tether, then go ahead and set up a dedicated server.

Trying to play this game with a friend, sure 1000 is nice, but its a world for exploring and having your own adventure. I have not seen a game with such an ability to create a unique experience put its foot in its mouth so hard as this game.

[@SongbirdGaming]

You can explore all of it and have your own adventure. In single player. Or with friends on a server. Official or unofficial, your own or someone else's, actual servers do not have a tether of any kind. This is a resource intensive game and can you imagine someone with an xbox S or an old gaming laptop trying to host up to 8 people on their machine? Spread out all over the map? The poor thing would melt. And the game would crash, for sure. Putting in a tether is a way to try to conserve processing resources so the game only has to render one area at a time for all these people, instead of a bunch of different areas, while also running the game for you. "non-dedicated" (locally hosted online multiplayer) is not a real server. A dedicated server machine can handle that many players and more just fine.

[@masterdeathize]

@@SongbirdGaming Should be an option then. Or, make it needed on consoles an a choice on pc. My friend and various others are annoyed because we do not have the ability to just play the game without annoying restrictions or money to get a server

A lot of creators have free unofficial servers you can join, Aaron Longstaff, MonArky, etc.

Wildcard has LIED to community and they continue to do so. Devs said “ we upgrade ASE base code from UE 4.5 (from 2015, yeah it’s running that old of UE Version) - > To UE 4.27. Which is latest UE 4 version before upgrading to UE5. They lied. They said ASA was new code from ground up to take advantage of UE 5 features. What they actually prob did. Cus they lazy devs/unskilled or don’t have actaully staff to do proper port over UE 5.2. Thus why game runs like shit. ASE UE 4.5 --> UE 5.0/5.1 = Arc survival ascended. This is why all same old bugs/issue/glitches/bad fps/rubber banding is in ASA. And I have theory that they are running UE 5.1. When they said ASA is running UE 5.2. No matter what hardware you pc is. Even if on high end AMD/Intel CPU with 4090. ASA runs worst then ASE did. It’s Not new code. Is same BASE code from ASE = and they have lied about it. Unreal engine v5.2/ 5.3 has many improvements/bug fixes along with nanite and luman, whihc should help game run better. Not worst. They community of ark fans need to ask the devs to answer truthfully…… Q: is ASA actually running UE 5.2? If yes then why is running worst then older ASE? Am betting they lied, ASA running UE 5.0/ 5.1. Both had a lot issue with performance.. remember matrix demo. That was made on UE 5.0. And was Beautiful, but ran kinda like crap. They did quick cheep port to UE 5.0/ or 5.1. Slap on few new features and said done. Slapped sticker price on ASA = and we community are getting ripped off. They should be sued. Cus they continued lie to community again and again. Snail games is just as guilty too. I’m not dev. But ex beta tester, ex moderator, small server admin from another small indie dev team. The dev team I was with. Before I step down do to moving at the time. Upgrade there game UE game engine a few times. And they are a smaller team vs wild card. It’s funny. I was with smaller indie dev team and they did better job. Their game is doing well. But wildcard can’t even do proper port over to UE 5. They ran game engine version for ASE that was base on tech from 2015. And they NEVER upgrade to newer version. Till now. Why???? Cus don’t have skill ppl there or they very clues lessee and it’s all scam??

On ASE the tether setting is able to be extended so much it might as well be nonexistent, but on ASA that's not an option (at least not yet). On ASA the only way to play with someone with no tether is to play on a dedicated server. Either your own, or someone else's. I have servers for my channel members, lots of other Ark KZbinrs host servers too, and there are lots of great server communities out there. I have a channel on my discord where people can advertise their servers/clusters that are looking for new players.

Apparently it's because it's online multiplayer hosted on your friend's PC, not a server. It's a very resource intensive game, and having to render multiple areas of the map at once is more likely to cause crashes. At least that's what I've been told.

[@SongbirdGaming]

@@DeadlyTone it sucks, but it's a practical thing. The tether allows you to have multiple people playing together, while your machine only has to treat it like single player since all the players are together. A console or home computer doesn't have the processing power of a professional server, and your machine is already running the game for you and rendering all those pretty graphics, while also keeping track of the location and status of every creature, every resource, every item in the "chunk" that you are in, as well as keeping the information of all the chunks around you that are in stasis, so that they can pop back into action when you move into that area. Right now the game is still not very stable. Trying to do that in multiple areas of the map at once, around multiple players, would be more likely to cause crashes. Sony and Microsoft won't tolerate that risk. So the tether control is gone for now, according to some recent reports consoles can't even host non-dedi at the moment (severe stability issues I'm guessing) but hopefully they will bring it back when/if they ever get this game more optimized and stable.

No, they probably can't, otherwise they would.

Hopefully if the game gets more stable and better optimized, they will eventually extend it as they did in ASE.

[@SongbirdGaming]

The only way to remove it entirely is to play on a dedicated server. Your own or someone else's. A dedicated server has more resources to dedicate to processing the game.

Hopefully as the game gets better optimized and more stable, they will be able to bring it back as a setting that can be adjusted, and allow it to be extended more. Ark is a uniquely resource-intensive game, and when you host a non-dedi session your own lil machine has to both run the game for you, and function as a server to host others... the only way that's possible on lower end machines, is if it can be run basically the same as single player, so only one area at a time is out of stasis. But, that requires all the players to stay together in one area.

Them updating only pc makes cross play worst wow

[@SongbirdGaming]

Only PC was in the patch notes, but based on the other comments here, they removed the tether adjustment slider for *all* platforms. The default setting might be different between the platforms, however. That shouldn't really affect crossplay though, because the tether is only a thing on non-dedicated servers, in other words, locally hosted online multiplayer. So if you are hopping into your friends' single player world or your friend is hopping into yours. In which case the tether would depend on who is hosting it because it's apparently shorter for some consoles or something. But on a dedicated server there is no tether and never has been. It's only if your own local little machine, your home PC or console, is both running the game for you and also hosting your friend to play the game; your machine is only set up to handle single player. So the only way it can handle multiplayer, is if it treats it like single player. By keeping all the players together in one area. That's why the tether exists. So that your computer only has to manage all of the data for one area of the map at a time. The rest of the map can be in stasis without creatures moving around or doing anything. The game is still pretty unstable and poorly optimized, so if they make the tether too long and allow players to get too far away from each other on a lower end machine like an Xbox S or a low and PC or some PlayStations, it would be more likely to cause crashing. Sony and Microsoft are super picky about that, they don't like to certify/allow games that crash, onto their consoles. So for now while they are still working on bugs fixes and optimizing it, they got rid of the ability to adjust the the length of the tether so it is just one length. Which is easier for them to test and make sure that it's not going to cause crashes. Hopefully over time as the game gets more stable, they will extend the tether or bring back the slider and allow people to adjust it themselves. That's what ended up happening in ASE eventually.

[@Ciel-w2p]

i tried playing with a friend earlier when ascended was out and neither could go too far. so failed?

Since the game features mods on all platforms, maybe the modding community will come to the rescue and create a mod that gives you the slider and an option to completely turn the tether off.

I'm not sure that it's possible, but I hope the modding community comes through on that! In the meantime, there is never a tether on a server, and if you don't want to rent your own, there are plenty of great little unofficial server communities that you can join. I have a server for channel members, right now it's Scorched Earth with lots of fun mods. Aaron Longstaff has several PVE servers that are free, the MonArky is also free, they have a kind of "PVP lite", good-hearted PVP type of server community. I have a channel in my Discord where people can advertise their servers, and there are tons of them on there. If you and your wife join one of those you won't have to deal with a tether.

Sony and Microsoft need them to stay stable and simple, every game and mod has to go through certification before it can be made available for consoles, because they don't want console games getting a reputation for being buggy and crashing. They are supposed to be plug and play. PC games, especially through Steam, have no cert process. If it crashes or is full of bugs, oh well, fix it yourself or just deal with it. That's why most early access games come to Steam first. Steam players get to be the Guinea pigs lol.

@@SongbirdGaming I hate capitalism

[@CrimsonVox-oq4dx]

they should make a bubble shows up on that says “warning you’re about to change settings or ini it might break your game if you increase it or decreases if that happens just uninstall and reinstall the game” it works for me on PC when I mess up something and they should make it work on console but noooo they wanna impress there investors so they can get the money

[@SongbirdGaming]

@CrimsonVox-oq4dx yeah consoles are kinda like cheaper, childproof PC's. 😆(don't hate me, console players! You know it's true lol). Nothing wrong with that, as long as you know what you're getting and that's what you want.
