Dealing with issues in ARK: Survival Ascended is not what we sign up for when we tune in to the game. Especially when essential commands fail to work. Since you clicked on this guide, it is clear that the Force Tame command is what you are struggling with. This command is crucial if you want to instantly tame dinosaurs and other creatures without the usual effort. Now you are not alone in this and many players have reported similar issues. So, how can you fix this? Well, let’s find out.
The issue at hand is simple yet annoying. You are trying to use the Force Tame command on an ARK: Survival Ascended server, but it isn’t working. Perhaps you really need to tame a certain creature for your playthrough or just want to try taming a beast you spawn. But the command just won’t work. So, is there a specific setting you need to check, or could there be a glitch that’s causing this problem? Keep reading till the end to find out.
ARK Force Tame command not working: How to fix it
There is no official fix for this issue. Rather, what we do have are a bunch of potential workarounds that may or may not work for you. Still, they are worth a shot.
Check Admin Commands
To use the Force Tame command, you must ensure you have admin privileges on the ARK: Survival Ascended server. Without these privileges, the command won’t work. To enable admin privileges, open the console by pressing Tab on PC, L1 + R1 + Square + Triangle on PlayStation, or LB + RB + X + Y on Xbox. Type “enablecheats <your admin password>” and press Enter, replacing <your admin password> with your actual admin password on the server. If done correctly, you should now have admin privileges, allowing you to use admin commands. You can also try typing other commands and see if they are working without any issues.
Check the command and stand close
The command must be entered exactly as “cheat forcetame” without any additional spaces, characters, or quotation marks. Open the console and type cheat forcetame, then press Enter. Make sure there are no typos or extra spaces in the command. Also, stand close to the creature you want to tame and look directly at it while entering the command. The command only works if you are within a few feet of your target and have it in your line of sight. If you are too far away or not aiming directly at the creature, the command may not work its magic. If it doesn’t fix the issue, try this command: “cheat DoTame”.
Tame limits
Another potential issue could be that you have exceeded the server’s tame limit. Check how many tamed creatures you currently have, as reaching the limit will prevent new tames. If the limit isn’t the problem, try using the “GMsummon” command instead. This command allows you to spawn a dinosaur that is already tamed and at a level of your choosing. It worked for some players so do give it a shot.
Compatibility with Mods
Mods may be the culprit if you have lots of them installed in the game. To check for mod interference, access your server’s mod list and disable all mods. Restart the server and try using the Force Tame command again. If the command works without the mods, re-enable the mods one by one to identify which mod is causing the issue.
Restart game
If the issue persists, consider logging out of Ark Survival Ascended and then launching the game again. Once you enter the server, go near a dino, and then use the forcetame command to check if it works now.
With those workarounds, we hope that you were able to tame the creature you wanted with the Force tame command in Ark Survival Ascended.
