Hello CurseForge Support Team,
I am having an issue with CurseForge not detecting ARK: Survival Ascended, even though the game is correctly installed via Steam.
My setup:
Game: ARK: Survival Ascended
Platform: Steam
Operating System: Windows
Steam Library path (custom):
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\
The game launches normally through Steam and the executable is present in the correct folder.
However, CurseForge does not detect the game automatically, and when I try to add it manually, I receive the message “Game not found”, even when selecting the folder that contains the game executable.
What I already tried:
Restarting CurseForge and Steam
Running CurseForge as administrator
Rescanning for games
Manually selecting the installation directory
Verifying the game files in Steam
Unfortunately, none of these steps resolved the issue.
Because of this, I cannot manage or install mods for ARK: Survival Ascended through the CurseForge app, even though the game itself runs without any problems.
Could you please advise:
Whether ARK: Survival Ascended currently has known detection issues in CurseForge
Or if there is a specific directory structure or configuration required for Steam installations on a non-default drive
Thank you very much for your help.
