Activate Crossplay and Epic on your ARK server

ARK: Survival Evolved is currently available for free at the Epic Gamestore. Of course you can connect to our server with the Epic version. In this post we will show you which settings are necessary for this. There is also a new map and a current event that can be activated on our servers.

With Crossplay enabled, both Steam and Epic versions of ARC can connect to the server. If Epic is enabled, only Epic versions can connect to the server. If both options are disabled and/or mods are enabled, only Steam versions can connect to the server. To...
