First off, thanks for helping us gamers who want to serve on unraid. Your work on these dockers is very much appreciated! Bare with me as I'm pretty technical in the windows arena and with client and server hardware, but am quite a neophyte with unraid/linux in general.
Like many others who love the low low price of free, I installed Ark Survival on Epic as opposed to Steam because it's hard to say no to free (Steam, wanted $50 for it). I played it with a friend on a non-dedicated server and we decided to setup a dedicated server. Well that turned out to be quite a chore in windows and so I checked community apps for a docker and boom! I installed yours. I can see it under servers in Steam (under view | servers | LAN), but can't when running Ark Survival in Epic (chose unofficial servers and see password protected servers). I have the ports needed to run the dedicated server forwarded on my router for my unraid server, but I don't own the game on steam (I left the steam credentials blank when setting up the docker for the server). Do I need to own a client copy on steam in order to join my hosted server via your super helpful Ark Survival server docker container on unraid? Is there a way for me to host this game in your docker and see it with an Epic client install of Ark Survival? We can continue to play via an un-dedicated server in windows through Epic on Windows 10, but like the idea of a perpetual server running regardless if my gaming PC is on or not (plus Linux FTW!). I suppose I could create a Windows 10 VM and tinker with running a dedicated server that way on top of unraid, but like the low overhead and reliability of running it via docker if possible. Thanks again for your work on this thus far!
Thinking on this further, if steam only shows my docker server under LAN, does that mean the game isn't being seen outside of my network? I had the ports open on my Windows 10 gaming system and we managed to connect to one another remotely (we had hamachi off) and it worked fine that way through Epic via a non-dedicated server. I moved those port forwarding rules to my unraid server's IP to no avail.

Hi,
if you still have that problem, adding -crossplay to "Extra Game Parameters" solved it for me.

I also left the steam credentials blank.
