¶ How to connect to your ARK SA server
If you're looking to host a server, check out our servers here: Ark: Server Hosting
There are two ways to connect to the server:
¶ Un-official Servers List
You can find your server by selecting two filter options!
- By looking at the un-official servers list using the server name.
- Make sure you activate the filter "show player servers"
- In case your server has password, select the option "Show password protected servers" if not keep it un-checked
¶ Adding your ARK server to Steam Favorites
1. Copy the IP address found in your Control Panel.
2. Open Steam. Then go to View -> Game Servers in the menu found in the top left corner.
3. Click on Favorites (+) and then Add a Server.
4. Enter your server's IP address and click OK.
5. Click Refresh and your server should appear. You can double-click the server or click the Connect button to join the server. If your server is password-protected enter the server’s password.
6. If you had ARK opened, tab into the game. If not, the game will launch and automatically connect you to your server. You're in!
¶ Direct Connection (Alternative Method)
In case you don't see your server over the list , you can connect to it using the in-game console with this CMD: open SERVERIP & if the server has password open SERVERIP?Password
