So as explained in the title im trying to create a ARK Server on my remote Ubuntu Server. Everything is up and running so far but i just cant join the ARK Server. Im playing through Epicgames, thats why I enabled crossplay. The Server cant connect to the Steam API, which shouldnt stop him from working, when not using mods as far as i know. I already allowed the required ports via ufw allow the make the server accessible. What am I missing here, do you guys need further information. As you can probably tell this is my first time, so im happy for any advice. Please tell if you need further information, or should i try it completely again all along?
