Server Shows on Steam Servers

But not in game. Not sure if this is a manager issue or an issue with the actual Ark Server
When you say it doesn't show up in-game, do you mean that searching for the server using the in-game server search doesn't find the server, or that it doesn't show up when you have added it to your favorites?
The in-game server list is quite a bit slower at enumerating and polling servers than the Steam server list, so it can take longer for the in-game server list to find your server if it's not already in your favorites, and the in-game server list has been known in the past to give up enumerating servers after a certain amount of time.
I can find it in the steam browser and add it to the favorites tab, but when I go in game it does not show up on the favorites list and cannot be connected to. Gives the Unable to query server for invite using both internal and external IP. I tested on a Windows install and I was able to connect both internally and externally, so I'm lead to believe that wildcard broke something on the linux servers.
On my Linux box I do get stopped with
Using binned.
4.5.1-0+UE4 7038 3077 404 10
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110
Everywhere I read that doesn't effect it though. I thought it may be a port issue at first, but all ports are opened. IPTables are set and UFW is disabled. To top it off; that shouldn't have any impact in connecting internally and I shouldn't be able to get any feedback on the external IP on the steam browser if it was a port issue as well.
Not sure if this is any help or not, but hopefully it can be of some use.
To top it all off. I can connect through 27020 to the Rcon, so that tells me the server actually is running, so I'm leaning more and more and more towards Wildcard issue.
With trying to connect to the external IP, do you have port forwarding set up in your router, and does your router support hairpin routing?

Yes on both counts. I can actually switch the forwards to the windows install and connect as well. Seeing as I can’t connect within the lan even tells me this isn’t a port forwarding issue
Looking at the fact that it is bound to UDP ports 7777 / 7778, I thought the game ports used to be TCP ports and not UDP ports, but testing here (and looking back at a strace from last year) shows that it is binding to UDP ports.
Testing here with v357.11 (build ID 10903952) I am able to connect to a server hosted from my local Linux box, whether using the LAN option or (once my router decided to behave itself) connecting to my external IP address.

Alright, so something going wrong on my end. Thank you.

Any chance you guys have a discord server I could meet with someone and we could check some settings out? Used to run my own ark servers and had no issues back then. 2 days later I still can't connect to a ubuntu hosted server that I see steam server browser finding with no issues.
