This guide will help you on How to Connect to your Ark Ascended Server Manually.
Running your own ARK: Survival Ascended server is a great way to shape your adventure, but sometimes players run into issues when trying to join through the in-game server browser. Whether the server isn’t showing up, or you simply want a faster, more reliable way to connect, manual connection is the solution. By connecting manually, you bypass the browser’s filters and directly join your server using its IP address and port. This method ensures you can always access your world, even if it doesn’t appear in the public list. It’s especially useful for private servers, password-protected sessions, or when you’re hosting for a small group of friends. By the end, you’ll have a straightforward way to connect to your server every time, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay with your tribe.
