they will need to restart there games

and update

[loud epoch]

Do you know how long it'll take my server to update?

Or at least how to do so?

[silent matrix]

if its your server try doing it manualy reset it or something idk if its someones wait for the owner to do it i guess

[copper flower]

this will make me quit the game

[stuck violet]

Changed to 0.01…but getting even lower imprinting (3%)

[copper flower]

this is so bad my pc is racing now

everywhere i look i freeze

[slate widget]

you have singleplayer settings on and mature rate at 45 right?

[stuck violet]

Yes

[silent matrix]

do people on pvp play on their gameboy colors or something?

[stuck violet]

Probably should have tested some rexs before I hatched mutated one lol

[lean relic]

lmfao i turn discord on to see this

[stuck violet]

But yeah 3% imprinting when I lowered the cycle

[slate widget]

since you are getting 3% you don't have SP settings on. change the cuddle interval to 0.05

[rare tusk]

It feels like they’re playing on epic graphics with 4000 creatures in their base

[stuck violet]

Hmm ok

[rare tusk]

No way a 3060 gets 8 fps

[stuck violet]

It does say that the “use single player settings” checkbox is checked tho

Do I still change it anyway?

[slate widget]

is it a new dino?

changes to imprint won't effect it unless its a new dino or you get a new imprint (so after you imprint it goes to new setting)

[stuck violet]

Yes new hatched rex

[slate widget]

not sure. maybe SP settings is broke now.

[stuck violet]

Does any other settings have an affect on it then?

[silent matrix]

f

[slate widget]

I believe its just SP settings, mature rate, and cuddle interval that effects imprint (and cuddle amount in ini settings if you want to edit ini)

[spark bay]

just farmed tranq darts for an hour for taming trex just so that the place im tryna get a trex at doesnt have one💀

[fringe nymph]

you cant remove ini in most pvp games im sooo glad its fixed

[frozen saddle]

u must be pve player

[jade drum]

rip ini players💀

[tawny cedar]

Hell na

[slim jolt]

I'm thinking about hosting a server with ragnarok and abberation only with auto farm and s+ but removing the karkinos to limit the auto farm to weight the rates will be low and it will be pvp but with very high ORP for select area for casual players that like the risk of pvp in open world but not the idea of being offline raided after weeks of work. Would this be something anyone else would be interested in?

[spark bay]

can you guys touch grass please

[supple crater]

Finally, after 7 years, they finally disabled custom ini files 🙏

[ember frigate]

so much salt 😂

[cyan sedge]

you'll be fine on unofficial pve servers tbh, never seen a cheater. most of those cheaters circulate around official servers

[leaden vigil]

#justmake the game for pve

[fringe nymph]

how many hours u have on official pvp

[leaden vigil]

lmao bob

[spark bay]

wait so what are ini

[ember frigate]

at lest i have a life 😂

[fringe nymph]

see try hard go touch grass

[leaden vigil]

shhh sit down

[supple crater]

Why are you so mad that you now have to play the game the way its intended?

[prime kettle]

rookies

[supple crater]

Been playing before inis got big and will keep playing now that they are gone

[fringe nymph]

youve lost 666 days of your life

[spark bay]

yep

[rugged granite]

We want ini back !!!!!!!

[fringe nymph]

2 years

[leaden vigil]

who?

[regal fable]

[fringe nymph]

ini is bad

[frozen saddle]

true

[spark bay]

can someone explain what ini even is

or nil

[leaden vigil]

cant see bushes etc

[fringe nymph]

the devs obv dont want it in cope

[cyan sedge]

graphical advantages over players

[frozen saddle]

1 vs 1 me#

[spark bay]

so unfair advantages

[rare tusk]

You guys say that everyone’s complaining but I see about like 10 people complaining

[spark bay]

bro if you have a hard time seeing thru bushes you need glasses

[zealous holly]

ini !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[silent matrix]

tl;dr people manually modified the graphics settings file to gain a significant advantage by removing all plant matter

and now that's gone

[cyan sedge]

or night vision underwater

[fringe nymph]

ini obv didnt stop cheaters in the first place

[leaden vigil]

ark devs dont play there own game

[spark bay]

just get a better pc

[fringe nymph]

now noone has it so its fair

[leaden vigil]

for a only pve game if inni is removed

sure

[gleaming widget]

Ini baccck

[ember frigate]

there getting rid of it any way nothing any one can do ( good thing too )

[spark bay]

just turn down the graphics

[zealous holly]

I'm very curious as to why Ini was deleted.

[frozen saddle]

this change nervrs pvpers and buffes cheaters like do something against cheating!!!!

[narrow falcon]

if people still need ini, then we are not ready for ark on UE5

[spark bay]

you dont need rtx on all the time while playing pvp

[cyan sedge]

i can play with epic graphics 70-80 fps just fine, probably depends on what people have cranked up or not

[gleaming widget]

Back ini

[spark bay]

from this experience i dont think they want you back

[prime kettle]

cya

[narrow falcon]

Just make the new Ark on UE2 dont need UE5 i guess

[fringe nymph]

they arent going to bring it back give up

[leaden vigil]

lmao cant react on messages anymore

[ember frigate]

i don't think they will care if you quit ark

[spark bay]

^

40 people in a discord is nothing to them

[leaden vigil]

deleting messages about there opinion

[fringe nymph]

removing ini is the best thing theyve done in a long time

[leaden vigil]

lmao

[spark bay]

even if its 500 people its gonna be nothing

thats what like only 20k if you all spent money for the dlc and the game

lemme pull up my calculator to fact check that brb

[prime kettle]

BUSH WOOKIES UNITE, time for bear traps, camera heavies, and ghillie good luck everyoneeeeeee

[ember frigate]

you're all get over it and come back to it like the drug ark is

[spark bay]

ok i was wrong 40k

[leaden vigil]

dear people,
this was the end of pvp

[silent matrix]

paint your buildings green 👍 good luck out there!

[cyan sedge]

still 40k people on the game on a work day, we're good 🤣

[ember frigate]

this is the start of pvp

[fringe nymph]

cant wait to wear ghillie and place bear traps

[tawny cedar]

Pvp is gonna be good now

[prime kettle]

yep

[fickle jacinth]

Ark will always pop

[rare tusk]

People really complaining that they have to actually see plants in ark survival evolved

[ember frigate]

time to hide in trees like the monkeys we are

[fickle jacinth]

Or buy addicted

Removes trees

[spark bay]

you guys alr spent your money on ark quitting it doesnt really matter

[fringe nymph]

thats a global ban

[fickle jacinth]

If u reported yea

But who’s gonna report u for using ini

[shut bone]

You cant quit ARK, Ark quits you...

[fickle jacinth]

Yup

[ember frigate]

true

[fringe nymph]

im just saying you cant remove modify ini in t ark ov

[silent matrix]

this user when they manage to patch that

[prime kettle]

imagine they taking note of all the people in here breaking tos

[fickle jacinth]

Cause u can’t

[fickle jacinth]

They ain’t gonna

[shut bone]

kill all the ones in Portal Easy and any others you can find should spawn one

[rare tusk]

I’m pretty sure ur supposed to use scuba goggles or something

[fickle jacinth]

Yes but no game like ark

[spark bay]

im sorry youre using a pc you made when you were 5 but this game needs something more powerful than a toaster to play well

[leaden vigil]

lmao true, when mek rush ist better to have a good game

[tawny cedar]

Cant see underwater adds to the game and if u cant run the game get a better pc or maybe dont buy it in the first place?

[leaden vigil]

so it can crash

[fickle jacinth]

Or stfu

[leaden vigil]

it even lags when y go in any render of a vent xd

[spark bay]

L pc

[tawny cedar]

Yes they have to fix that aswell

[fringe nymph]

cant wait for them to remove gamma

[leaden vigil]

y never played pvp so y dont even know what a mek rush ist

[fringe nymph]

i got my nvg's ready

[leaden vigil]

when y even know what a mek is

[fickle jacinth]

Ini was the one good thing bout the game

[spark bay]

still

[fickle jacinth]

And spider cave

[leaden vigil]

[fickle jacinth]

Trust me

There isn’t

[spark bay]

you have a point

#patch-notes

[fickle jacinth]

Ark is a good game in general like the idea but the game it’s self is buggy

Wat do u guys think about Xbox and pc cross over

[leaden vigil]

höö

[ember frigate]

#removeGamma

[silent matrix]

i'd be here for gamma removal if it hadn't always existed, almost necessary in the game's current state though

• Disabled unintended client-side visual configs

wait wrong one

[fickle jacinth]

Ark toxic simple accept it

[silent matrix]

there

[leaden vigil]

lmao, when ark 2 gets like ark(1) its going to be a hard time

[cyan sedge]

i mean i get it, ive had to use gamma in certain instances where my screen was 100% black and i had nothing for light but typically the server had these enabled.

[silent matrix]

probably not fullbright, but definitely the foliage removal stuff

we'll see soon enough

or maybe it's already happened idk

could you imagine lmao

custom spawns in shambles

official pvpers are just mad they can't see joe bobson halfway across the map

and that they can't play on their samsung smart fridge

[slim jolt]

Plot twist they upgrade ark 1 to unreal 5 add a new map wipe all old maps and characters and rebrand it as ARK 2

[cyan sedge]

not saying ive thought of this, but ive definitely thought of this... after atlas

[slim jolt]

I mean they have been upgrading ark1 a lot latey...

If they remove gamma I'd be pissed and extatic haha

It would make the game so much more deadly

[leaden vigil]

even how much player have something againts removing inis and they did it, shows how the react to the communitiy

[slim jolt]

Imagine needing a torch to go around the map at night or a light pet etc

[leaden vigil]

thx for nothing

[rare tusk]

Literally like the same 20 players are complaining

[cyan sedge]

immersion rules

[rare tusk]

Which is not a lot

[supple crater]

And 90% of old players begging for them to remove inis since they became a big thing

[slim jolt]

I love when they stop stupid metas like ini. I prefer the game without it hut had to use it to see what others see or be clapped a lot more

The idea that if everyone does something busted you need to join or he left behind

[pallid perch]

wildcard really killed their game more by disabling ini.

why man ini is goated

they are becoming like EA

[spark bay]

are kangaroos good

[spark bay]

ok what

disabling something that gives unfair advantage isnt the same as making everything p2w because the board said so

micro transactions dont equal disabling unfair advantage

yeah i think

[pallid perch]

through out the years people made tickets about the meshing in this game but like always WC only cares for the pve part of the game. i bet none of the devs actually played pvp.

[ember frigate]

ok

[pallid perch]

everyone can get it on steam. its not an illegal thing just modify your game settings

[spark bay]

im not saying its an exploit

[pallid perch]

if it gives a disadvantage just get it yourself like the rest

[spark bay]

also why do you care about bushes so much

if it messes with your graphics turn the graphics down

[pallid perch]

i love ini to see in caves no beer effect and see clear Under water. and especially not getting z

[spark bay]

you dont need rtx level of graphics to play a game

[pallid perch]

and i dont have to suffer my pc that much with ini compare to other games like spider man. im so good with playing with ini and now my game will look horrible

if only a dev will play pvp and have a pvp pov on ark will actually help this game. but nah like always its all pve

[rare tusk]

Pretty sure the majority of ark players are pve/singleplayer

[supple crater]

ive been playing ark pvp since the game released in early access and removing ini has been the best patch since release 💀

[pallid perch]

honestly

all those pvp servers is what makes it alive

[rare tusk]

“Removing all the plant matter makes ark alive”

[pallid perch]

lets be honest who even plays pve

theres no fun or anything about it. we love the thrill of pvp and messing with people.

pvp is amazing till its tek tier with nets and tek rifle lmao

i dont mind bushes

just lower your thins to lowest

[ember frigate]

they should remove Gamma too

[pallid perch]

idk the name of it arm but its in settings

atm

[gentle stump]

I miss the old pvp. No tek, no cryos and no cave building

[spark bay]

how does every pvp community except this one get that less graphics = less lag

like if your pc is lagging from bushes turn graphics down

[pallid perch]

gen pass made ark too futuristic and horrible

[supple crater]

And no inis

[gentle stump]

I never messed with ini back when I play official pvp

at least people will be warm for the winter

[meager cliff]

ini is much worse than bot remember that

[midnight hazel]

can tek double doors not be put on metal double door frames or do I need the engram in order to place it down?

[spark bay]

just get a better pc/ L O W E R G R A P H I C S

[vivid oriole]

#bringbackiniii

[gentle stump]

who knows maybe the ini deal will lead to more moderation and lead to actual anti cheat banning hackers

[spark bay]

you dont need really good graphics to enjoy a game

[high scroll]

wait can someone explain what removing ini does :(

[spark bay]

bushes are real now

[meager cliff]

removes ini

[limber current]

Tek doors need tek doorframe

[silent matrix]

they just removed some graphics options so now foliage exists for pvpers. the actual gameusersettings.ini and game.ini files have not been removed.

[high scroll]

thanks you guys i was a little worried bc i play for fun/casually not on pvp :))

[spark bay]

if you want less lag lower graphics you dont need ultra high stuff for pvp its pvp for a reason not enjoy the scenery of ark

nah both irl and in game

get a better pc at that point

[midnight hazel]

Makes sense, thanks

[gentle stump]

I never touched the ini files when I was playing pvp. It would have driven me insane looking at playdough graphics all day lol

[spark bay]

nah really

they arent your normal computers

nasa computers are for one thing and one thing only

[silent matrix]

0 on official* because i actually do things with my life

[spark bay]

and that is calculating equations that depends in the success of what theyre doing

[gentle stump]

Rough guess maybe 1.2

1.2k

[spark bay]

nasa computers cant have steam downloaded no duh they cant play ark

but if they could it wouldnt play good because that isnt what theyre meant for

its like using an orange as a butter knife

4th dinowipe and a trex finally spawns

should i kill it its level 4

im tryna get a high level

like 40+

2 hits from my argie killed it💀

1. Its only level 110
2. Its main purpose is for carrying things long distance not fighting

[heavy plank]

Rip kfg 2023 24.01

[spark bay]

should i tame this 76 carno i found

[silent matrix]

I need help with the engram leveling things

[plain salmon]

Ark doesn't save my game, is it just me or has this happened to others?

[long zodiac]

is ini banned?

[wet orbit]

wait wtf they broke ini?

[proud grove]

My veggies cakes are still broken. It's been several months. They only heal my Theris for the initial 500, but nothing after that.

[wet orbit]

like already without UE5?

[spice kiln]

.ini isnt banned, its been disabled for non WC employees.

INI files are configuration files used by Windows to initialize program settings. Their main role is to set values for parameters and configuration data required at startup or used by setup installers.

[wet orbit]

wth now i cant play bcs my pc is bad

ppl still have esp too without ini you have even less defence

[silent matrix]

this is false. the game.ini and gameusersettings.ini files still work just fine. they just disabled the options that let you hide foliage and rocks, as well as (maybe) fullbright.

[wet orbit]

luckily launch options still work

[silent matrix]

the inis are used for a ton of customization by unofficials and the like

[wet orbit]

lemme try preview

[spice kiln]

if its false, why cant anyone but wildcard run .ini files?

seems alot of people in general chat cant run ini files so it seems what i stated isnt false.

[silent matrix]

please read the message. the actual files still work, they just removed the options that are generally tweaked for pvp

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration the vast majority of options listed on this page are put into the ini files

and all of them still work

the only things that got disabled were some client-side graphics options

[trim arrow]

Done

[wet orbit]

its gone now

[spice kiln]

.ini isnt gone, its just been disabled

[zealous holly]

Who blocked my chat an hour ago
That was your mistake!
i didn't cheat
About the future of users who are about to leave
explained our future

Your development has not been notified in advance.
it happened suddenly
An explanation is needed.

For users who will simply be harmed
Auto update
blunder!

And why do you keep deleting posts!

[wet orbit]

that means cant use aka gone, i cant run the game anymore v.nice devs but esp and all that still around awesome job

[spice kiln]

Xanadoo — Today at 4:35 PM
yes, already confirmed, its being turned back on

[wet orbit]

yes this wtf

[wet orbit]

i really hope so

[zealous holly]

The official server has Chinese Duping and
ESP is hitting the plate.

without doing anything about it

Delete Ini without notifying user
prior to this update
I think we should talk.

OMG......

[wet orbit]

yeah this is what im saying

[zealous holly]

A few years ago, you guys did a map update in the name of
I blew up my official bass that lived in Tribase
As soon as I can't go home anymore
Two years of time was just blown away without any prior notice.
Is the situation different now?

why didn't you change
What users think or
Are you afraid to abuse it?

Why wasn't there a story beforehand?

[spice kiln]

what are you talking about lol

[zealous holly]

A few years ago the Extinction treebase
disappeared without a sound.

[wet orbit]

probably when they updated the maps and a bunch of bases u couldnt get to anymore

[uneven peak]

Bro can’t u see his name and bio he’s prolly using a translator rn so just try to understand him

[spice kiln]

i dont use name translations due to ToS

[twin valley]

This is sick bro I can't wait to get spun through a treetop I can't see through

[candid mantle]

I can't wait to get aimbotted through water and smoke grenades

[twin valley]

true I can't wait to still get meshed, good job on fixing the thing that made this game playable though 👍

[high scroll]

having a similar issue on steam. my save files, character, settings, etc all disappear. I have to go back and manually recover my save file, redo my settings, and make a new character. it's happened every single time I've logged on :/

[zealous holly]

Van Diesel, please give me Ini

[candid mantle]

I can't wait to be on 10 fps and crash while getting meshed bro

I also found a meme wanne see it? I can't send it here but in dms

[plain salmon]

But i can't do it on xbox

[high scroll]

I know, I'm sorry :( Just letting u know u aren't alone I guess

[twin valley]

truth they can fix something that helped low income PCs play the game smoother but they can't fix people shooting rockets through the ground into your base

They're just trying to kill the pop so people are more likely to try out Ark 2 which will probably flop as hard as atlas did

[spice kiln]

wait till UE5 is implimented, then you will see more people not playing the game due to game engine performance issues

[candid mantle]

they can't fix a rockdrake going into the mesh flying through the mesh and shooting through the mesh:/

[twin valley]

Maybe if they fixed literally 99% of the game before the game was out for 7 years it'd still be a good game idk though

[candid mantle]

I love how I get banned for raiding mesh bases and making ark better

[twin valley]

Yeah bro you can't mesh the mesher leave em be they'll never get devved anyways

[candid mantle]

fucking pocket admins are the worst

[twin valley]

Yeah I can't wait to have to fight spinners through the mesh and the moment you do anything illegal they'll ban you and you get wiped by the botter

[candid mantle]

fax

But they won't ban the botter because he has a spoofer

[twin valley]

exactly

[fathom bane]

Is it a good idea for me to breed two of the turtle things to get eggs and make kibble in my extinction solo (I’m level 18)

[terse crypt]

I have thought of a good idea that involves play as dino

Maybe make it like a paid dlc for consoles since some people on consoles like the switch for example don't have access to mods

Wouldn't that be a smart idea

[tough yarrow]

Can do it without mods too

[terse crypt]

Yeah but the sdfride command despawns wild dinos

[unkempt ermine]

What are general thoughts on the "Immersive Taming" mod? I'm a new player, and am a little concerned it might make things too easy, but the vanilla way has its own problems too I've noticed

Just want some opinions on what other people think

[proud grove]

It's way too easy

[unkempt ermine]

Hm

I did see it say there's some options you can tweak for difficulty, do you think that's worth looking into?

[proud grove]

It would still be way easier than normal taming.

[unkempt ermine]

I see, do you not like the mod? Or do you just think it's easy, but still enjoy it?

[proud grove]

I would only play it on a "fun" server. Not a serious one.

[unkempt ermine]

I mean, I'm playing PvE with a friend on a private server

If that means anything

[proud grove]

Try it out. The option to tame regular is still there.

[unkempt ermine]

Fair

Thanks

[proud grove]

It does make taming flyers real easy.

[torn aurora]

I hope that they will add the offensive text filter also to console version. Any possibility to find out if Wildcard will do it?

[quasi rivet]

Most likely

Rip inis

[keen quartz]

why do less people have the Beta Ascension achievement on steam than they do for Alpha Ascension

Beta is 3.6% of players while Alpha is 5.5%

[wooden iron]

Cause no one does the beta ascension

[ornate coral]

did they actually remove the use of Inis

[midnight hazel]

gotta love raising baby gachas, just tested with a stopwatch a few times and normally they eat once every about 12 seconds, and while in a procoptodon pouch they eat every 15 seconds. it’s sick

[proud grove]

there is a way to raise them with zero food

[midnight hazel]

I know, I just don’t trust it especially if I go offline

last time I tried it the gacha was fine for like 30 minutes and then suddenly stopped eating even though I was constantly within render, just barely saved it at 0 food lol

[weak wing]

Oh it's up really high?

[normal bridge]

i have tek steg but that doesn't get me high enough

yeah it glitched

[quaint olive]

Just punch trees and make some tools and build thatch up to it

[foggy niche]

wait why can you move while encumbered with a mining drill lol

thats actually so good

[mystic karma]

it reduces the weight of materials in your inventory when youre holding it

[keen quartz]

can you put wyvern milk in an S+ Fridge

[normal bridge]

i ended up flying above it and using parachute

[foggy niche]

oh thats actually pretty awesome

[mystic karma]

just dont let it break while its still running, the sound bugs and wont go away untill u relog

[foggy niche]

yup.
the only thing to make me consistently log in the red zone 💀

[ivory gorge]

I was in a cave and my megatherium vanished (maybe through the floor or something?) Is there any way I can get it back? On console

[winged plume]

nope happened to me on pc dino just gone forever

[winged plume]

[ivory gorge]

Dam, it was my only megatherium too, lvl 190 with good stats, had a lot of loot too

[winged plume]

Dino Fixes dows it 👀

[unkempt ermine]

I saw some old posts about how the levels wild dinos put into speed are wasted stats since it gets converted to a baseline once tamed, is that still the case?

[torpid depot]

Yes still the case always will be

[unkempt ermine]

kk ty

[meager shore]

Do sheep still spawn on crystal isle

[graceful kraken]

When fix cheaters instead of ini ?

[fair wyvern]

Of course

[chilly horizon]

im planning to go on a journey for crystals what animals should i take along?

[primal saffron]

Ini was fixed for a whole 4h. Players already have updated versions working again xD

[chrome hare]

Need fix new method

And fix anticheat system

[inland bone]

Best def Team

[primal saffron]

But thanks for trying to still sort these sort of issues Wildcard. Love the last couple of updates and news regarding ark1. You guys rock for keeping at the fixing and updating game

[graceful kraken]

Bro that game released 2015 and they released a game filter that sort our Bad languge in 2023

[chrome hare]

Who cares bad language when cheats and Dupe not fixed

[graceful kraken]

Idk why they fix bad languge over game destroying Elements

Its ark

[chrome hare]

Yeah

[graceful kraken]

What we expect in ark 2 better graphic that it

[split bloom]

yes

[lyric crescent]

dont worry u will keep getting aimbotted but u cant trashtalk to him anymore 😐

[chrome hare]

Hahah

I think that's how it was intended😺

[eternal merlin]

Argy or a Ravager reduces Crystal’s weight by 50%, better still, take a fleet of Argy’s, fill them up and they can follow you to drop off

[young venture]

Nice fps guys,no ini,full pve admins

[chrome hare]

U weak pvp without ini?

[chilly horizon]

Ive been needing to get argys what is the optimal way too tame them?

i need help evwrytime i try and download a mod it dosnt load me in ether it keeps me at the start screen or it loads me in to a blackscreen any tips?

[foggy niche]

does scorched earth even have artifacts?

i want to kind of blindly experience the map (dont play it much) but i have not seen a single thing even resemble a cave or a artifact area other than a red and black lump on a wall 💀

[glad totem]

Yes it has 3

[nimble forge]

I have heard rumors of people getting banned with the new modifs, not confirmed but good if they now have a detection system

[gentle solstice]

I hope so

[nimble forge]

Honestly a system to detect that is pretty easy so I hope it is true

I have no idea why it took so long

Probably because of SOTF and Wildcard understanding they need to improve pvp exp for the game to grow more and attrack wider audience

[simple flicker]

Anyone selling full grown magma on Xbox official pve servers?

[foggy niche]

wait whats going on?

[gentle solstice]

?

[pulsar salmon]

hey guys how do i install the "play as dino" mod in ark survival evolved in epic games?

[gentle solstice]

The matrix attacked me

[pulsar salmon]

cause i got the game on epic games

[tough yarrow]

You can't have or use mods on Epic.

[glad totem]

You can not

[pulsar salmon]

wait really?

[glad totem]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-wtf-gif-10043568

[glad totem]

yep no mods for epic games

only steam

[pulsar salmon]

so i have to get it on steam?

[glad totem]

yes

[pulsar salmon]

damn i see why epic sucks lol

[heavy flame]

hello is anybody know about immersive taming bug? im using it on my single player then suddenly dino were eating but no taming bar

[cinder dawn]

When will sotf be on consoles?

[halcyon dirge]

average day in london:

[tough yarrow]

January 31st

[exotic spindle]

ok so i reinstalled the entire game, wiped the files and everything so there was nothing left. Took me all day to do it and its still crashing. I know its that update that they did this morning but i cant submit a bug report cause when i click on the link in the discord it says unable to locate this page. Can I please get some help. Ive been trying to fix this mess all day

[delicate path]

guys

all ark inis not working longer ?

[prime kettle]

Cry more Bahahahahhaha 🤡

[dreamy hound]

cho stfu

[prime kettle]

🤣

[dreamy hound]

[inland bone]

Why tf is ini banable?

[dreamy hound]

they want us to play pve

[regal yarrow]

It always has been lol

[inland bone]

Why should we Play pve we Can just use Nvidia settings

[silent matrix]

Ok what do i need for alpha ragnarok arena? When im doing it with rexes

And good saddles. 150 armor

What stats do they need at least? Like melee and HP

[vocal ravine]

Pretty sure wildcard Just gave up on it for a while and now came back to it

[tacit epoch]

18 rexes 1 yuty and 1 deino kill the dragon solo with deino then bring rexes with 30 k hp and whatever melle u got to manticore

If u do dragon with rexes ur gona fail the boss xD

[silent matrix]

Why? They have like 50k HP and deal 1k dmg without boosts

Snd they have very very good saddles

[jade hornet]

uggg, ConsoleVariables.ini no longer works

[wide vapor]

I'm currently verifying my game files because I was crashing upon trying to open the session list every time after the new patch. If I still have trouble after I verify, I'll let you know what I try past that. Hopefully they'll patch a fix if we're not the only ones

[exotic spindle]

yeah i tried verifying several times and it didnt help. I have reinstalled the game and it didnt help. I reported the bug so hopefully it will get fixed

[wide vapor]

Was yours running at all before crashing?

[wide vapor]

@silent matrix You can do Ragnarok's dragon with rexes no problem. It has different stats and dies quickly

[undone urchin]

take a look in patchnotes they fixxed inis

[pine spade]

Wonder if ark will ever get a PS5 upgrade

[jade hornet]

all im seeing is ini changes for bad words

[silent matrix]

• Disabled unintended client-side visual configs

[jade hornet]

uggggg thats what that means

i had the game set where its playable, now its not as playable

[silent matrix]

hey does anyone know what the problem is that when a dinosaur enters water, it starts flying over it at x100 speed

[wide vapor]

What dinosaur?

[silent matrix]

everyone

[wide vapor]

Flyers won't go in water, will throw you off, and fly up. I'm guessing that's not what you mean

[tough yarrow]

Are you on a nondedicated server?

[silent matrix]

ye

[tough yarrow]

You won't be able to fix it. It's an issue with nondedicated.

[silent matrix]

ok, can i move this server to be dedicated?

[tough yarrow]

You can setup up a dedicated server by following this, unless you have another pc/account to host it from
https://youtu.be/o1dcWkSzGd4

[exotic spindle]

yes i was loading mods, but thats about it. It was fine before the patch and could get into the server no problem

[wide vapor]

The mods could be causing your problem if you didn't already try loading in without them installed

[exotic spindle]

yeah i reinstalled them

i think that the second error is a mod error and in the process of trying to fix it

[silent matrix]

and i can play normally on a dedicated one, won't it spoil my ability to finish the game or something?

[tough yarrow]

Shouldn't have any issues

[silent matrix]

hey and this problem doesn't work on water dinosaurs so megalodon won't break down like that?

[tough yarrow]

Yep, just an issue with nondedicated.

[tacit epoch]

the breath of the dragon scales with hp so like 4 or 5 breaths and all ur rex army is dead

[wide vapor]

That's the case for the dragon on the island and fjordur but not alpha ragnarok

I've run alpha ragnarok with my rexes on official like a hundred times with a yuty

[limber current]

Ragnarok and valgeuro dragon takes 3 times more damage compared to island and fjord dragon

[wide vapor]

Yep yep. When I run dragon on the island and fjordur I use a magma to tank in fjordur and the rest are deinons.

[spark bay]

then just upgrade your graphics card

or whatever makes it less laggy

it isnt the devs fault you found your pc parts in a scapyard

[lyric nebula]

cause you are changing the files and those grafics are not suposed to get used

so glad they did that

[primal crater]

Guys & Gals :), there is a 30s limit on pickup of objects, is there a way to extend it or remove it ON CONSOLE (PS4)?

[fair wyvern]

If you’re renting a server from a server provider, yes, but for singleplayer no

[primal crater]

Thanks

[runic garden]

Hi new player here.. I've never played ark before.. so i got the base version of it. cause they are bringing ARK2. which got me interested.. so i figured i should atleast learn a bit about ARK first. now my question is why this game is 300+GB??? ive been downloading it for 2days now..

[stray iron]

bad optimization and a lot of content

[runic garden]

too much clutter Assets? will it be the same for the new game which is coming?

[sharp elbow]

is the new ini there causing a ban on who to use it?

[stray iron]

hopefully not, as it won't have as much content and will hopefully be more optimized as the devs team has hopefully learned from these mistakes

[fair wyvern]

if you try to do it the same way as before it just won’t work but if you try to use a work around you can get banned

[runic garden]

i am still downloading it.. 97%.. what are the chances it will blow up my pc?

[fair wyvern]

50/50 xd

[stray iron]

if you don't have country sized bases you should be fine

[runic garden]

cool.. thanks

[icy idol]

high movement speed and oxygen create those speed tames, dont level oxygen and you should be fine

[icy idol]

wait for all dlcs you will be sitting around 450+ GB

[dim panther]

Hi @silent matrix
I don't know what the reason is, but my giga breed won't be until 15 days :/

[silent matrix]

Did you modify the breeding settings at all?

[dim panther]

Can't I send pictures here ?

[fair wyvern]

nope, text only

[dim panther]

Okay 🙂
but dino breeding multipliers they all stand at x10

[silent matrix]

If you modified the breeding settings, make sure the sliders are in the correct manner. For example, mating interval needs to be decreased instead of increased. ASM is a little confusing sometimes because upping the multiplier isnt always what you need

[dim panther]

so the higher it is how long does it take?

[silent matrix]

Ahh that'll do it. Change the "mating interval" multiplier from 10x to 0.1 (you can manually enter the number) and it should allow them to mate significantly faster. You will probably need to cryo/upload the creature to reset

[silver lintel]

does anyone know if there is a server with the hunted mod

[silent matrix]

If you hover over the setting, ASM should give you more info on what it does and how adjusting the slider works (example decreasing mating interval shortens the mating cooldown)

[dim panther]

Okay Thanks 🙂 It probably also explain why my one rex can run so fast

[silent matrix]

Was this the "Imprint stat scale"? Be careful with this one as increasing it a lot can make your creatures insane when they're fully imprinted ^^

[dim panther]

😂 should it also be set to 0.1 then ?

I run with a x10 server

[silent matrix]

Default for the "imprint Stat scale" is 1x. I typically change this to like 1.5x so when fully imprinted, creatures get +30% bonus to the applicable stat, instead of the vanilla +20%

[dim panther]

okay 🙂

[dim panther]

then I think that will be enough for now 😜

[dim panther]

thx for help 😉

[last prawn]

what r rates on official rn

[wet marten]

Nunca espero nada de la comunidad hispanohablante y aún así logran decepcionarme. Me dan asco, simps de segunda.

[fair wyvern]

#server-rates

[hard nimbus]

What is the recommended health for boss shadowmanes?

[silent matrix]

1x

There isn't a soul I know that likes playing on 1x rates

but then again 1x has the most servers so that's why I play it despite the slowness

[past beacon]

will be able to use wildcards bad word filter list or do we need to make our own list to use

[silent matrix]

the filter doesn't work right, and no, I don't know if you can use your own

wildcard's filter only takes effect on dinos and signs

[inland bone]

game unplayable now thx @ def team

[silent matrix]

global chat is unblocked of everything

[past beacon]

well the patch notes give a setting to set the path to a word filter now, was just wondering if the ark api page will be updated with a link to it so we can use the same list - similar to dynamicconfig.ini they use so it updates when they update the list
seems the setting lets you define your own path to your own list too...

[silent matrix]

oh then idk

I'm just a ps5 player with some knowledge on the game

[past beacon]

im on steam and host my own servers, and the info would be useful to us

[past beacon]

thanks for this info, if true, but xbox has a word filter for in-game chat and i assumed the steam version would be the same with this new patch

bFilterCharacterNames=True // Filters out character names based on the bad words/good words list.
bFilterChat=true // Filters out character names based on the bad word/good words list
BadWordListURL="URL GOES HERE" // for hosting your own bad words list BadWordWhiteListURL="URLGOESHERE" // for hosting your own good words list```
seems it will have a few diff options how to use it

[low dune]

Is ark 2 coming to the switch?
I saw someones video saying it was but idk

[clever gorge]

I am banning the new ini

[unique topaz]

@low dune

ARK: Survival Evolved Switch:

The ARK Switch official Discord can be found here: https://discord.gg/Q5E9F3bVfC

ARK Switch players will always be welcome in this discord too!

[tough yarrow]

Microsoft's current filter is just horrid anyway, but consoles/win10 usually get updated a few days to a few weeks after PC.

[night terrace]

Is it a easy way to find your lost creatures?

[past beacon]

i understand the filter sux, its why im asking the questions lol

i would like to use wildcards word filter lists file while i develop my own

[tough yarrow]

Oh, sorry I have no idea about that kind of stuff, I'm sorry for misunderstanding.

[clever gorge]

can we say pooodiddle still?

[past beacon]

no worries, the update is still new, im sure we will get more info as we figure out how to use the new settings, thanks for the response

[tough yarrow]

No ur banned 4 life

[clever gorge]

figures 😦 I can't even say certain things in the wow forums or they ban me

everyone is so ban happy and wants to control the pixel

[tough yarrow]

[past beacon]

maybe you could pass the question up the food chain? (will ark word filter list links be added to the ark api page? similar to dynamicconfig.ini, globaladmins.txt, banlist.txt, etc)

[low dune]

Well is it???

[tough yarrow]

I can ask around, no promises though

[past beacon]

its worth a shot thanks for whatever answers you find

[tough yarrow]

You're welcome 😊

[past beacon]

prob better to ask the ark switch discord, the link was given

[low dune]

I have to verify my phone number and it aint working

I would ask there if i could

But i doubt ark 2 would come to the switch

I mean its a miracle that ark1 runs on the switch

[past beacon]

im asking, i dont know when an answer will come tho

[low dune]

Thanks mate

[past beacon]

this is the answer from the dev " 🤣 "

[slate widget]

right now ark 2 is only confirmed on steam, win10, and xbox.

we don't know if or when other platforms will come.

[prime locust]

are there any boss list to follow?

[low dune]

Okay thanks

[past sentinel]

As D3 just stated, Ark will launch with a timed exclusivity to PC and Xbox.

[low dune]

Lol

[clever gorge]

Ark 1 UR5 update is all we want

[prime locust]

ey horungar

[clever gorge]

I'll play Ark Souls for fun tho

[low dune]

Totally, I love ark and I love souls games so its a win win situation

[clever gorge]

Yep as long as there are dodos, esp rideable dodos, the game will succeed

[heady vector]

ye lol

[past sentinel]

I'm just looking forward to Ark 2 with it being primitive style cause the Prim+ on Ark was really cool it just was unfortunate they didn't at least do patches to make crafting work entirely.

[slate widget]

prim+ has issues just spawning dinos now lol

[past beacon]

last question. will primitive plus get a makeover on ark1 before they put it to bed?

[slate widget]

extremely doubtful.

but who knows they brought back tsotf.

[past beacon]

i wonder why they never removed the mode from ark then...

[past sentinel]

That was at least an easy fix for any custom servers to just increase spawn rate. Crafting issue requires drops to be edited to put in stuff that you can't craft normally in Prim+

[past beacon]

im hopefull they will show some love for primitive plus since they reworked sotf it gives me some hope lol

[slate widget]

same reason they didn't remove the procedural arks, more trouble to remove it.

[past beacon]

ya that pg ark was really cool i used to use it in my clusters

[lyric ember]

So you only get banned from using ini on official servers or do you also get banned on unofficial servers?

[tough yarrow]

You're unable to use imi currently anyway on either. If you circumvent it, yes, you can and likely will get banned on officials. Unofficials are not enforced by Wildcard.

[lyric ember]

Ah okay, there are some ways around it that people have found, I don't really play official but idk if i wanna risk it.

[past sentinel]

One thing I wish could be enforced on official is pillar spamming to hog up building locations.

[tough yarrow]

#reporting-players

[dark narwhal]

Ark From 70k players a day to 3k per day because no INI xD

[lyric ember]

What was the whole issue with the ini @tough yarrow ?

Do you know or not?

[tough yarrow]

I only know what has been shared in #patch-notes

[past sentinel]

Not sure if you can say that cause I was about to ask what INI was, not sure it effects player base remotely like you think it does

[lyric ember]

Ah okay

[past beacon]

the issue was people modify the client side ini to remove fog, trees, bushes, rocks ets so they can see everything on the map... giving unfair advantages

they moved those settings to the server now it seems

[lyric ember]

But, everyone had the option of it.

[past beacon]

it was unintended to work this way

fixed now

[tough yarrow]

It has always been against the Code of Conduct, they are enforcing it.

[lyric ember]

It is so far from fixed, people have got ways around it.

[past beacon]

yup ^^ this

[lyric ember]

There are more than 2k people that have got it now

[past beacon]

there will always be cheaters , wc does what they can

[past sentinel]

That like saying everyone has option to use aimbots on shooters my guy, some people like to play the game with integrity and play how it meant to be played.

[wispy oasis]

Ya know, crystal isle has the wyvern Queen, would the dodowyvern technically be the wyvern king since it has the breath weapons of the other three

[past beacon]

aimbots are againt tos too so ya they will enforce it as they find ways to mitigate

[lyric ember]

Very true, but cheating is rule that was and still is enforced, whereas the devs did not enforce the ini until now.

[past beacon]

they have done great so far, ark is way better than it was when it started

[past sentinel]

Just using an example to say just because something can be done doesn't mean it should lol

[dark narwhal]

INI in Ark is so nice but without an INI its like a Human without a Heart

[past beacon]

its wildcards prerogative to enforce what they want tho, its their game

[past beacon]

i understand, the problem has always been a cat-n-mouse game between game devs and the cheaters

not here to arugue, but why ask why.. its wildcards game they do with what they wish...

if fixing the game kills the cheaters so be it

[past sentinel]

The way you're talking about devs just now enforcing something sounds like you expect immediate results, it not like there nothing else for them to work on or not.

[past beacon]

not at all. its wildcard we are talking about here

just making a point if fixing ini kills off lots of cheaters is a good thing in my book

i been here since arks beginnings and every changes has been for the better

[lyric ember]

No cheater will leave because they dont have ini

[past sentinel]

They have managed to have a game sustain a healthy player base across all platforms for 7 years and still going, only other company that been able to do that in an online compacity is Rockstar Games. Wildcard is a pretty solid company.

[lyric ember]

There are cheats that give you ini that they can install

[past beacon]

like i said its cat-n-mouse, let the cheaters cheat, they continue anyways, only helps to find the exploits so they get patched, play the game the way you like no one is stopping you

[past beacon]

yep i love ark and the idea of ark. its the only game that i have thousands of hours of time playing

[past sentinel]

I would pre-order as soon as it is available, but I won't have to with Gamepass Ultimate, but I will buy any DLC that don't go under Gamepass umbrella when Ark 2 comes out.

[past beacon]

im on steam, ill prob be playing it before you 😉

[steel vortex]

can where give me the normal ark inni

[past sentinel]

Nah it gonna be at the same time, and likely we'll be cross play with steam in Ark 2 cause we're also going to get the mods this time too.

[past beacon]

reverify your client should fix your ini files

[past beacon]

nope, no xbox game has ever been crossplay with steam . xbox only crossplays with windows store versions only.. due to the paid xbox accounts tied to gamer tags, etc..

steam crossplays with epic only. maybe it will change with ark 2 who knows

[tough yarrow]

It'll have cross-platform modding at least, on Ark 2

[past sentinel]

That because of seperation of mod capability, they have confirmed through their article release that cross platform modding will be a thing which means there is a chance

[past beacon]

its because MICROSOFT and psn have thier own networks and do not share with steam networks, you stand corrected

if it requires you to log into xbox with your account it will not crossplay with steam because steam does not use paid accounts and such,, and are not compatible

good luck with that

[past sentinel]

You do realize CoD crosses with PC right? So it not impossible.

On top of that Microsoft is connecting Xbox and PC with the strength of the Series X/S consoles to connect those two at minimum.

[tough yarrow]

Na, Steam and Epic are entirely different versions than Microsoft, which is why they are not crossplay.

[past beacon]

none of those netoworks have been crossplay with each other in the past and not likely in the future

[past beacon]

bro steam =master race

there is a reason why xbox players move to steam eventualy

(i was one too)

[past sentinel]

I have Steam, I'm on a gaming PC now.

[past beacon]

nice

[tough yarrow]

It's not impossible. It's just not what they're doing on Ark 1, unless they do some major overhauls.

[past sentinel]

I only play PC exclusive games really on PC, I still prefer my Series X/S when an option

[past beacon]

i couldnt stand paying for a xbox account every year for games i already own -steam does not do this to you

[tough yarrow]

Steam and Microsoft Gamepass are also entirely separate, just to be clear, in case people do not know

[past beacon]

and way better selection of games

[past sentinel]

I don't doubt it, and it why I'm gonna likely start on finding a discord ran custom cluster so I can see mods used, I don't see Wildcard allowing that on official.

[past beacon]

pc has way better gfx, xbox is good if all you can afford

[tough yarrow]

Custom cluster or not, Microsoft and Steam are still not crossplay, even on unofficial.

Microsoft does not have mods on Ark 1.

[past beacon]

there are a lot out there to choose and play on, and usualy less toxic than official servers

[past sentinel]

Didn't say anything about cross play... I said mods.

lol

[past beacon]

xbox is closed system you will never be allowed the freedom you have as on steam version

[past sentinel]

I'm past the cross play conversation and talking about just mods now.

[tough yarrow]

It's disconcerting seeing that you're saying you play on Steam, but most of your comments are about PC exclusives (which implied Microsoft Gamepass) and Microsoft, and not having the Steam role as well, so I apologize.

[past beacon]

im finding switch version really fun now

switch is prob the cheapest most portable way to play ark right now.. unless you go the steam-deck option which is NOT cheap

ark is realy fun portable

[tough yarrow]

I'm enjoying my switch much more since they fixed the singleplayer settings reverting to default every time you leave the game lol

[past sentinel]

That cause I don't play Ark on steam enough to warrant me getting that role, this discord stacked enough with channels for me. I have tried out that Survival of The Fittest rehaul, but once it comes to console here soon I won't play it on steam anymore either probably.

[past beacon]

ya i been playing with my grandson on switch its so much better now, and i cant wait for the ragnarok map to drop - switch version is excellent for him to learn on then he can join me on steam later

What favorite tames people have that are active in chat right now?

[fair wyvern]

I doubt it

[viscid stratus]

My favourite strong dino would be Soini or giga or carchardontosaurus. Just in general favourite would be otter. Every map i play on i need a family of otters

[past sentinel]

Sinomacrops and Thyla are my two.

[past beacon]

older than the dinos 😉

[past sentinel]

Thylas hords with player mounted Yuty is how my tribe ran boss battles, deadly with that bleed.

[regal yarrow]

Thylas aren't supposed to be able to get into boss fights lol

[past sentinel]

I play on custom servers

Never stayed on official long enough to be boss ready, wasn't built for that grind.

Actually I know what server my official character on because that official cluster was the only official server I went on, I only got to level 93 on official before I switched to unofficial.

[quick juniper]

Taking away the ability to use ini is this true? Its almost like they are intentionally trying to kill off the game in preparation for ark 2 😂

[tired hound]

Are dire bears good for caves?

[regal yarrow]

If you have a good one then yeah. They hit like a truck and are reasonably tanky

[tired hound]

i see, what level u think would be good enough?

[regal yarrow]

Depends on the cave

I would say tame a max level one though. They are common enough that finding a max isn't hard

[tired hound]

okey, ty!

[median socket]

whats the fastest way to lvl up for engram point reasons

[regal yarrow]

[median socket]

the island

[regal yarrow]

Tame a megatherium, get an exp note, and run swamp cave with scuba

Should get you like 9 or 10 levels

[median socket]

thx

[silent matrix]

Me to

[median socket]

cool

[silent matrix]

Wait what

[fathom bane]

Yo what is that pfp

[neat monolith]

Hi, If I want Gigas only for a breed is it good to imprint them? Or should I just let them grow all by their own?

[silent matrix]

Heh

[turbid leaf]

If you're breeding them, not using them, there's no point imprinting. It won't do harm, but it will hide the base stats.

[neat monolith]

Okey, thanks so much 🙂

[crisp tide]

🙂

[karmic quartz]

if i already have one megachelon, is there a way to build a trap on its back to trap other megachelon for taming?

the one ive found has a tendency to wander quite a ways and i just want to hold it stationary

[long galleon]

ark is shit without ini

guys i have idea

#ini_come_back

[inland basalt]

Has anyone else's ark had to re-download its self?

[oak gyro]

ini is already back till they patch the new methods

[prime kettle]

Anyone who wants the demo vid dm me

[wet marten]

So... Is Wildcard gonna do something about that streamer who brought thirsty kids and teenagers to vote for her submission (panthera atrox)? Or are we allowed to bring league's playerbase (2,400,000 players according to google) to vote for the dinos we like?

[torn aurora]

Why?

[deft falcon]

is there an ark community and/or discord where i can learn more about ark creative tools? such as tools that help making cinematic shots and films of ark? Any maps i can download or and/or mods. Software ect that i can use to get a more cinematic look for ark

[quasi rivet]

They removed it

[oak gyro]

Just do the new method

[quasi rivet]

And get banned no ty

[oak gyro]

Do you boo boo

free on geforce you say? sweet even more alt accounts 😎

Epic loaded me up when they did their free ark with every new account made hahahah

[silent matrix]

how to hatcg a rock drake egg?

hatch*

[oak gyro]

24 air conditioners, or make an "egg incubator"

[rose lake]

do reapers and drakes spawn in the aberation part of valguero?

[normal bridge]

do tek pteradons exist

oh okay thanks

[spark sedge]

The tek dinos are, off the top of my head-

Parasaur
Stego
Raptor
Rex
Quetz

I thought there was a tek mosa but in all my 6000 hours of this game I have never seen one so I unno if I even heard right

Oh no there isn't. forget that mosa bit lol

i just remembered an old servermate talking about how he scoured the ocean looking for mosas once and it was when all the tek dinosaurs were being introduced so I think i just jumbled the two in my brain and never once thought harder on it until just now

[silent matrix]

tek mosa skin exists in the files and on console, that's why

it's the only completely unused one on pc

[spark sedge]

Oh another one I forgot is the tek trike, but it only exists on Genesis 1

If you've got access to gen 1 and want tek dinos, though, it's the best place to get 'em

[loud epoch]

Anyone know how to make a server private?

[past sentinel]

Put a password on it

[sand goblet]

Are notes multiplicative in terms of if it's base 2x server and I get 100xp from crafting something, I get a 4x note and a 2x note does that go to 16x which would be 800xp or is it 2+4+2 so it'd be 400xp

[regal yarrow]

4x and 2x stack, so it would be 8x

[proud grove]

Why can't I deactivate gamepad? I'm hitting the Deactivate Gamepad button. Also, I have no gamepad connected to my computer.

[heady vector]

If you count genesis, tek trikes.

[dapper wagon]

Y'all. I swear I am not joking, the word "in" gets blocked by the in game chat filter now. This is seriously getting ridiculous and not fun

[heady vector]

Wonder why it was made to where there are no flyers allowed on gen 1?

[analog dragon]

if the filter is anything like windows 10 version You cant say things like "lol" "10" "14" "36"

[plucky gyro]

how do I go about going to an older save on ragnarok? at this point its the only thing I can think to try, but my brain is too small to figure it out 😔

[dapper wagon]

not saying anything just not letting the message go through

on Ark bug report page there is a report about it that was changed to "Researching"

also the numbers 33, 68, 88, all gone

[analog dragon]

yeah they are just such bad numbers cant even believe that there allowed here

[dapper wagon]

id love to see what regular expression triggered on the number 14

or any of them. id love to see this so called filtering algorithm

update: the word "yo" is banned. we all in game just trying diff words

[fair wyvern]

🪀

[floral garden]

Bummer

[spark sedge]

Go to your Saved/Save/whatever it's called folder, go to ragnarok, then change an older file's name to ragnarok.ark

[plucky gyro]

ahh ok I wasn't sure if that was the right one or not

[spark sedge]

Whatever file is just called Ragnarok is the current save game

It might be worth copying this file or the entire folder and storing it elsewhere just in case you screw something up

probably a good idea to do that regardless regularly

But especially if you're going to make a habit of regularly mucking with the files

[plucky gyro]

I backed up before doing anything. I'm just trying literally anything now to get my game working again lol

[spark sedge]

What problem are you dealing with that you're needing to roll back though?

[halcyon dirge]

is it crashes?

[plucky gyro]

I keep getting an error when loading up ragnarok, but it only became an issue after the update. I know its not the tek thing, nor is it any of my mods

yeah it gets stuck at ragnarok_proxy and dies

[spark sedge]

Just loading in?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head doing that that rolling back the save would fix

Is it single player or a server?

[plucky gyro]

me neither 🙃

single player

nope rollback didnt work so I have no clue

[spark sedge]

Hm

[plucky gyro]

it seems to only be an issue with my existing saves I think

[halcyon dirge]

there is the off chance it could be a mod

[plucky gyro]

I started a new save on island to check literally all of them, so its not mods

[spark sedge]

Sometimes things can just get corrupted

[plucky gyro]

which is why I was trying to rollback saves 🥲

[spark sedge]

Does it still crash if you boot without mods entirely?

[halcyon dirge]

that doesn’t always work, the save works fine the first time you access it, but trying to at a later time crashes you

[plucky gyro]

good question
idk why my pea brain didn't think of that actually

[spark sedge]

I know that can suck if you have an entirely modded base or creatures or whatever but if the alternative isn't playing the game at all...

[plucky gyro]

🥲 my base

[proud grove]

why can't i learn anything? I have plenty of engram points. Even the zero point ones I can't learn.

[plucky gyro]

I know on extinction I had to like find an explorer note

[spark sedge]

Can always just try validating files too that's always my first step when I'm trying to troubleshoot this game

That goes to both yall

[plucky gyro]

nothing was wrong when I checked integrity

if the internet on my pc was working I'd post the error message I keep getting

tornados be like
destroys internet

[proud grove]

Might have something to do with me not able to deactivate gamepad.

[plucky gyro]

I'm gonna check a few things and come back to post results since ark takes a minute to load up

ok, so it loads up if I get rid of all the mods

so now I REALLY dont know what to do lol

[solar aurora]

A major patch was just pushed yesterday for Steam, which tends to play hell with mods. Give it a day or two for 'em to catch up, I'd say.

[plucky gyro]

its not the mods that are breaking the game

[solar aurora]

Was basing reply on this, sorry.

[plucky gyro]

no its ok lol

my next step is troubleshooting the save with different sets of mods to see if it's one specifically screwing with it

who knows 🙃

[thick lotus]

probably, i had that happen on servers and all I had to do is get rid of the old mods were i unsubscribed and didn't get rid of it completely

[ripe lion]

if I feed a wild rex dead bodies of dinos, will it heal

[fair wyvern]

yes

[cinder lake]

everytime i host a non dedicated session with my friends why character and my dinos go sonic speed underwater does anyone know how to fix this bug its so annoying (works fine in singleplayer and doesnt affect semi aquatic dinos)

[slate widget]

change the tether to 3000 max.

that happens when its too high

[keen quartz]

How long does it take for wyvern eggs to start spawning

[cinder lake]

oh ok ty

[keen quartz]

How long does it take for wyvern eggs to start spawning

[fair wyvern]

you in singleplayer?

[keen quartz]

yes

[fair wyvern]

Can take up to an hour after starting the world in my experience

[keen quartz]

could i use the slomo command to speed it up

[fair wyvern]

not that I’m aware of

[plucky gyro]

Update: The problem is with Marniimods: Wildlife

[silent matrix]

With the new update of voice over explorer notes do we have to go back and do certain ones again? on the island under"???" I have the prologue but there is now a locked one showing

[spark sedge]

No

If you've got the notes unlocked they'll have David Tennant or whoever Helena is talking at you when you click the note

There are new cutscenes when you ascend, though

which may count

[spark bay]

where in the ocean do i find silica pearls

[somber yew]

Why can I not find a server

[spark bay]

nvm i realised you dont use a tool to harvest pearls

[night jay]

who owns a server that i can be admin in i will follow all rules

[vagrant robin]

when its the wipe of arkpocalypse?

[silent matrix]

why dont ark mods never want to load, i download them and then i load into a mpa and it gives me a blacscreen any fixes?

[spark bay]

wheres the easiest area to find quetz in

[inner pumice]

I always see them flying around on gen 2 in official

[spark bay]

not servers

like locations on map

the island

[inner pumice]

Although like above all the cracks and stuff with that waterfalls on rag

[chilly horizon]

and therizeno break through stone walls?

[inner pumice]

Levels will be lower on island you wanna go on rag likely, check out triple waterfall area and like just over all the cracks with waterfalls everywhere

[odd heart]

Around Red or Green obelisk

[inner pumice]

Sorry idk the name but i see them there always

[odd heart]

High up

[spark bay]

i dont have rag

[inner pumice]

Rag is free I thought

[odd heart]

U on mobile?

[spark bay]

and i just keep reloading that area right

switch

[odd heart]

Oh hm

[inner pumice]

Ah, yeah just keep reloading it over there and maybe get lucky

[odd heart]

Yea just clear the area

[spark bay]

like entering in and out of that part of obelisk

[odd heart]

And come back

[spark bay]

ik how you do it

[inner pumice]

Just yeah out of render

[spark bay]

you grapple on your argie

[odd heart]

Cool cool good luck 👍🏽

[spark bay]

and keep pinging the quetz

[odd heart]

That's the original way 🫡

[spark bay]

i dont have a tapejara

[odd heart]

Kids from the modern generation use Griffins

[spark bay]

or a griffin

[odd heart]

Yea that's the way good luck

[inner pumice]

Yeah I use griffin or desmo, or just jump off your pt net it and then knock it out

Always a strat

[crude creek]

Wait so I deleted everything in my .ini file is that alg now

[peak relic]

Hello all - I just recently started solo on Ragnarok and I already have a Sarco, Carno, Anky and a Pteranodon - what creatures should I try to tame next?

I currently have my base in the bottom left end of the map on the shore infront of the island with the hole in the middle

[silent matrix]

argy, or maybe go for a griffin if you're feeling bold. once you have a griffin, a wyvern egg isn't too difficult

[peak relic]

How do you go about taming a Griffin and where do you find them?

[silent matrix]

most people use a trap to tame griffins - just look up a guide for that. as for griffins, there are several places on the map they spawn. here's a link to something that will show you those locations https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map/Ragnarok?creature=Griffin

[formal finch]

does anyone here play scribbles ark server

[fair wyvern]

Unlikely, why

[formal finch]

cus its kinda ded here

[glossy sierra]

can you equip crossbow underwater with a baryonyx?

[fair wyvern]

Yes

[compact plover]

Wow

Who wanna play ark with me?

I’m on ps4

[fair wyvern]

#735196277221883964

[silent matrix]

Btw are you new to ark?

[compact plover]

Kinda

[silent matrix]

Ok how are you dying rn

[compact plover]

Bro I played it when I was very join and I was on mobile

I just came back to the game

[silent matrix]

Nice

But you said you were gonna die fr fr

What was happenin

[compact plover]

A level 55 thenizasaur was chasing me

And I died

😦

[silent matrix]

Lmao everyone has died at least once to the tickle chickens

[compact plover]

Lol

[silent matrix]

Ye thats pretty normal

They are cery good for collecting wood btw

[compact plover]

Ik

I wanna tame one

[silent matrix]

I mean

Go for it

[compact plover]

Idk how I’m gonna tho

[silent matrix]

You know how to make a trap?

[compact plover]

Nope

[silent matrix]

Hmmm

[compact plover]

And it’s at most of my items

[silent matrix]

Oh hmmm

Yeah i mean i suggest you wait a lil bit

[compact plover]

I always think the obelisk is a blue drop

[silent matrix]

Lmao

[compact plover]

Bro

I paused right as i was on the edge of a cliff

[silent matrix]

Oh jeez

[compact plover]

I don’t see the tickle chicken Imma head in

[silent matrix]

I think this next thing might work but you need timing

Sooo

You can jump of a cliff if you need

And if you press inventory right before you hit the ground you will lag and not take damage

[compact plover]

OH NO

Ok

[silent matrix]

You can do it like a few meters above the ground

[compact plover]

K

[silent matrix]

So if you getting chased run jump off do the glitch and keep running lmao

Cuz the theri will be behind you he doesnt even need to worry about fall damage

[compact plover]

I was sneaking lol and got my stuff

Imma make a Anky saddle real quick

[flat onyx]

What’s better, PvP LDL or PvP Classic (both smalltribes)

[silent matrix]

Oh i have no idea lmao i play on a server called dreyma

Played*

Havent played in abit

I just aint have the time to play pvp😔

[fair wyvern]

don’t play classic

[compact plover]

I don’t rlly play servers

[silent matrix]

As a new player i highly dont recomment pvp server

[flat onyx]

Why?

[compact plover]

Do you think a level 23 anky can kill a level 2 brontosaurus

[fair wyvern]

Lots of cheating going on over there

[flat onyx]

Oh

So LDL then?

And what map

[flat onyx]

No

[compact plover]

What about a level 23,17 and a level 17

[fair wyvern]

Island for note run ofc, then it’s personal preference but I’d choose Fjordur personally

[compact plover]

Wdym note run
