Connect to your ARK: Survival Ascended server

Your Qubesquad ARK: Survival Ascended server is ready for your tribe. You can find it in the in-game browser or connect straight to it.

Find your address and port

1. Open your server at panel.qubesquad.com.
2. Click the address at the top to open Connection details.
3. Copy the address and port shown there.

Option A — the server browser

1. Launch ARK: Survival Ascended and choose Join ARK.
2. Set the session filter to Unofficial (and Unofficial PC Sessions if offered).
3. Search for your server’s name and select it, then click Join.

Option B — direct connect

If searching is slow, connect directly:

1. From the main menu, open the console (enable it in options if needed) and use the open command with your address and port, or
2. Add the server to your Favourites using the address and port from the dashboard.

First join takes a moment

ARK loads a lot of data. The first time you connect, give it longer than you’d expect before assuming something’s wrong.

It won’t connect?

• Server offline — check the dashboard status pill and press Start.
• Not in the list — the unofficial list is huge and slow to refresh. Use direct connect or Favourites.
• Mods mismatch — if you run mods, everyone needs the game to finish downloading them before they can join.
• Still stuck? — click Get help on your server for a support ticket with its details attached.
