Ark survival evolved on epic games

[BOBWARPATH]

Does anyone have an epic games account that they managed to snag ARK for free on a while back? I am trying to create an ark server, however I am having problems with not being able to port forward, preventing me from making said server. I am asking if anyone has a copy of ark on a random un used epic games account because I want to use the host dedicated server option, which sets everything up instantly rather than having to use SteamCMD and doing it manually. Also here is a screenshot of my steam to show I do own the game, and not trying to just get the game.

I was able to get the game, but I do play often. I actually just set up a dedicated server (dedicated physical 1U server in my basement), but it is an un-official one for some buddies and myself. We haven't started on it yet, just getting it prepped to migrate off of a buddies paid server rental. Can you give more info about the issue you are having? What options do you have in the start script? Here is mine for example. I have to update it as I noticed that the FearEvolved is still showing active.

 

vi server_start.sh

/home/steam/ARK/ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux/ShooterGameServer TheIsland?SessionName=<GAME NAME>?ServerPassword=<GAME PASSWORD>?QueryPort=27015?RCONEnabled=True?AutoDestroyOldStructuresMultiplier=1?AllowRaidDinoFeeding=true?RCONSer
verGameLogBuffer=600?RCONPort=27020?MaxPlayers=10?ServerPVE=true?bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=false?AllowAnyoneBabyImprintCuddle=true?AllowFlyerCarryPVE=True?listen -port=7777 -PeerPort=7778 -log -servergamelog -NoBattlEye -ForceA
llowCaveFlyers -game -server -ActiveEvent=FearEvolved -crossplay

chmod +x server_start.sh

I've gotten the scripts all correct, but I cannot port forward. That is my main issue. So my only main way to combat that is to use the create dedicated server option form within the game
