It is important to mention this is only related to joining a modded server where mods are causing the issue. Once all mods have completed install, join your server. You can see all mods installing in the bottom right hand corner. Open the game and let the game complete installation. We always recommend downloading ALL workshop mods for your server PRIOR to joining it.įind each mod in the workshop directory in the Steam client from outside the game and install them. We always recommend downloading ALL mods prior to joining a modded server to prevent the issue completely. Depending on the mod size you should wait for this to complete prior to re-attempting to join. If you check your Steam client you should still see the last mod downloading. Generally a server with lots of large mods is where you notice this more. This is due to the mods downloading to your PC through Steam and the connection has timed out due to it taking to long.

When connecting to your own, or any ARK: Survival Evolved server that has mods installed, you may experience a connection timeout.
