Ark Survival Ascended (ASA) Console command not working: How to fix it?
The console commands in ASA are susceptible to errors. Since most ASA players are ASE transfers, the console commands tend to get a little confusing. In the original game, all you needed was a command. Here, things are a little different. Not only do you now need to enable the commands, but you also need to type specifics before and after the command. Additionally, you need to make sure the command is perfectly typed in or it will not work. All of this can be a hassle if you are new to the entire system.
How do Enable?
To enable console commands, you will need to turn it on via the in-game settings. How to do this? Well, follow these steps:
- Pause the game and head to the Advanced tab.
- Here, look for the Console Access option.
- Select it and save.
- You can now see a small window when you press the ESC key for console commands. Apart from this, the default keybind (on PC) for console commands in ASA is the tilde (`) key.
If you are on dedicated servers, enter enablecheats <adminpassword>. This is after enabling the console commands window itself and you must enter this to be able to use it.
How to use it?
Once enabled, you can type the command in and hit enter. Once the system reads the command, it will execute it. If you are on dedicated servers, you will need an admin password to do this. Now, you also need to keep in mind that while the commands are the same between the games, the prefix is not. In ASE, you simply type the command in. Here, you need to input the word ‘Cheat’ (cheat) before every command line. This is the only way the game will recognize the command and execute it. Without this, you will not be able to execute the command at all. Here is a list of all the commands currently available in ASA.
That is how you fix a borked console command interface in ASA. If you found this guide helpful and would like to read more such content, make sure to visit Android Gram daily.
