FAQ - Frequently asked questions

My ARK: Survival Evolved doesn't appear in the server list.

ARK: Survival Evolved's in-game server list only shows around 4.500 servers, which have been randomly selected. Steam's own server list is somehow also limited to around 4.500 servers, but it's possible to query every ARK server trough the favourites tab. Also, servers from Nitrado (name: "nitrado.net Gameserver") appear both, the ARK and Steam server list. In this case, a malfunction from our side is excluded.

Unfortunately, ARK's implemented server list lacks functions such as adding own servers or directly connect to a known IP address. We hope that the developers of ARK: Survival Evolved will patch some advanced features for their server browser soon. In the meantime, it's possible to connect to an ARK server using various other methods, further explained in the official Nitrado Wiki. The respective article explaining how to connect to an ARK: Survival Evolved Gameserver can be found here.
