How to set up offline PvP protection for your ARK Server

 

Ark: Survival Evolved servers let you turn on offline PvP protection.

When it’s enabled, your character is safe while you're logged out, which is super useful for players from different time zones or servers that run 24/7. It makes it way easier to log off without stressing that someone will mess with your stuff or raid you while you’re gone.

 

Method 1 - NEW MENU

Method 2 - FROM TEXT FILE

 

NEW METHOD

 

Step 1) Go to your Console > click on your server and stop it using the "STOP" button.

Step 2) Navigate to the GameUserSettings.ini option from the menu on the left under the Game.ini option. 

You will see a page containing the GameUserSettings.ini settings, with built-in fields for entering the values available for most of them.
