Ark Survival Evolved is an incredibly fun game. And when you play with your friends it’s even more fun. However, players who purchased the game through the Epic Games Store experience some difficulty playing online. Most often, players cannot connect to the server due to “Connection error – Invalid server password (Empty Password Field)”. Unfortunately, this is a problem in the Epic Games Store version of the game. However, there is still a way to play with friends.

To join your server, you must first start a single-player game. To do this, in the main menu, click Host\Local. Next, in the game settings menu, you must select Single Player. After you spawn in the world, you need to call the command console. By default, this can be done by pressing the Tab button.
