ark-survival-ascended

[short ferry]

There is Literally no set release date for either console launch... hense why everyone is upset

[indigo dawn]

cant believe that tbh. Its what i expect from indi-game-devs but not from a big company like wildcard.

[short ferry]

The 14th was their projected release date. It wasn't technically an official launch date as certifications were not finalized.

[winged hamlet]

for whatever reason they cant give an exact date. not the devs fault

[indigo dawn]

SO i am confused... is the game wich should release soon Ark2 or Ark survuival ascendedf?

[fresh flume]

Asa

[short ferry]

ASA... Ark 2 late 2024 at best at this point

[frigid heart]

ark2 release in 3 days. ASA is still at least a year out

[indigo dawn]

this sounds like you are spreading wrong information about the devs. You make them kinda look like semiprofessional idiots who cant release there own game on a specific date

[sudden fox]

It's available now on game pass

[short ferry]

Actually the game has continued to be delayed since August

[indigo dawn]

fake news. clearly

[sudden fox]

Just appeared DOWNLOADING as we speak

[willow fiber]

I NEED SE

[spiral coral]

You gotta learn about gaming setups. With the right screen and good into it will be just fine.

[short ferry]

No need to insult them. They ha e no news hense why they are quiet.

[indigo dawn]

Is wildcard a trustworthy Gamedeveloper? sounds to me like they have just started the company? is this game theyr first? so that would explain the issues

[spiral coral]

They quiet because they know they screwed up

[past sentinel]

Next month

[sudden fox]

Soon

[modest orchid]

Soon

[indigo dawn]

soon

is soon now?

[sleek knot]

safe to bet that it's coming out next week for console

[cinder haven]

I was looking through the Xbox store in Coming Soon for games, and you know what? ASA ain't in there, so maybe not so soon......

[formal flare]

I kinda loved that they randomly dropped it for PC w/o a date, was a nice surprise.

[inland perch]

Whats the deal with the servers constantly going down without any sort of reasoning? Paying Nitrado all this money for a half running server is very frustrating and obviously hard to keep players playing on if it is constantly going down.....

[indigo dawn]

It schould release on november 31st i heard in #general

[formal flare]

From what I've gathered servers have a memory leak rn, so it consumes more and more ram over time and eventually crashes. Game issue not nitrado issue.

[fiery rover]

Lol so where are the white knights defending wild card now lmfao. Imagine delaying a delay every delay lol

[indigo dawn]

Do you want to say WC is releasing a game without test it before?

[short ferry]

Seems steam players got the tester position after paying for it

[silent matrix]

isn't that for playstation? (late november)

[formal flare]

Just because there are a lot of problems doesn't mean they failed to test at all before launch. I know people hate saying this but, it is an early access game, and it is wildcard, if you expected a perfect game out the gate you're delusional.

[fiery rover]

No they don't test

[glossy forge]

they either didn't test it or didn't look at the test results

[short ferry]

December 2nd is Extra Life pushed back date... so either by December 1st or only steam gets Extra Life boosts (if they can get on the servers during event)

[formal flare]

ASE was like this at first drop in early access too, so I knew what to expect and wasn't disappointed. Its why I've never played on official servers ever.

Hey don't hate on pineapple like that. 😛

[latent marsh]

Could anyone DM me on how to use photo mode? How do I use filters and blur and stuff?

[fiery rover]

Which is why xbox and psn booted out what they submitted.

[formal flare]

I'm sure they'll have them eventually.

[cerulean monolith]

Have there been any updates for Xbox or nah?

[still hinge]

they only include the "special" groups .... you cant be part of the club

[glossy forge]

they'll be there later

[barren patrol]

for anyone who wants updates without checking the announcements channel: You can tell if there's been an update by the length of the chat slowmode timer. Short = no update.

[glossy forge]

[past aurora]

.....

[rigid umbra]

1 minute guys!!!

[astral badge]

lol

[compact charm]

🤡

[rotund sundial]

Some of you people deserve it, frankly

[stray grotto]

Xbox store shows 11/30 for us. Won't let me post a photo here

[hushed steeple]

Where do you see that?

[stray grotto]

The other half went to the store then lists and to where he had it on his wishlist

[hushed steeple]

It’s blank for me under release date

[rigid umbra]

Same

[dusty fulcrum]

Soon

[barren ginkgo]

Im going crazy I think im seeing gigas in my yard… I want ASA noww!?!?!

[stray grotto]

The store page is blank for us too, just checked. But when we go back in the store to lists and wishlist it says 11/30/23. I wonder whats going on with it

[late igloo]

Can we craft the tek replicator from the fabricator? Tooltip in game says we can but it doesnt show up? And yes i have it unlocked.

[simple pumice]

Sooooon

[mild hemlock]

you probably have some filtering options on

[cursive token]

FIX TETHER DISTANCE

[mild hemlock]

@heavy cedar includes unofficial servers?

[languid harbor]

is this place still a toxic hellhole

[cursive token]

yes

[blissful oak]

80% yea right... laughs out loud

[dry vault]

@plush crypt I really can't tell if what you were saying is satire or not. But if it's not a joke, please touch grass 💀

[plush crypt]

Wtf is grass. I need my fixing of ark and I will do whatever to get that

[languid harbor]

where?

[pure harbor]

no they only pushed the update for their offical servers, if you have an unoffical server you have to make your own updates.

[unkempt pine]

hopefully this doesnt have to go through cert for xbox before launch. rip

[dry vault]

in the #ark-survival-ascended section, I said that its actually sad that people threatened Dollie's life because of the delay. He said "You don't understand how muhc ARK means to me". I hope he was joking. At the end of the day, it is just a silly dinosaur game

[mild hemlock]

doesnt matter, they have not been pushing the performances updates on unofficial for more than a week now, unofficial are stuck

[languid harbor]

Jesus this place really is still a toxic shitshow. I'll be heading back to Syntac's server now bye

[pure harbor]

My unoffical runs just fine and has been pretty much since launch, it's getting updates idk about you.

[zealous stratus]

@heavy cedar the decay time continue to repeat whenever the server crashes? There are many foundations with 12 hours of decay all over the map and they will never leave because every 1/2 hour the servers crash

[torn yoke]

Most of the losers here who hate on leadership shouldn’t be playing if they hate it so much

[dry vault]

Yeah man, it's gross asf. At the end of the day, Snail Games is putting them all on a tight deadline, they're most likely understaffed and overworked lol. And then to add onto how taxing that is, alongside all the baseline hate, there is people going as far as to threaten to end their lives for it

[pure harbor]

This gave me a stroke trying to read this.

[pallid wasp]

They arent our leaders, that's gross. They are selling us a product. Well, SOON

[torn yoke]

Did I say our leaders??? Wildcard leadership

[pallid wasp]

Fair point. You think they lead Wild Card?

[mighty elm]

finlay got the update so i can play the game yay!!

[torn yoke]

They lead day to day operations, atleast the ones who are getting death threats (dollie, jat, etc)

[dry vault]

Snailgames lead Wildcard overall, they are the parent company of them lmao. And the ceo blew most of the money that was left over on fuckin car renovations (or something along those lines)

[fading ice]

investment in a car company. involves cars, same thing 🙄

[pallid wasp]

Snail is definitely doing more to upset us than Wild Card is. If Snail paid their bills, the game would just come out later and be slightly more functional.

[old seal]

YO is that the lord of change kairos fateweaver

[dry vault]

All of the mishaps from the ends of WC are Snailgames forcing their hand and fuckin hell, putting all of their money into investment. Does that man even have object permanence lmfao

[shy cargo]

Ngl snailgames sounds like a slimy company

[dry vault]

Slimy by name, slimy by nature lmfao

[restive terrace]

cool. recent patch didnt fix my consistent crash problems. bummer. boss breeding will have to wait :(

[dry vault]

Are you on SP or Servers? And what're your specs man?

[restive terrace]

singleplayer. ryzen 7 5800x/rtx 3060ti/ 32gb ram. my crashing happens pretty consistently when i drop eggs down. i just tested it by dropping eggs, and if they didnt crash my game, pick em up and drop em again. only took a couple of tries

[topaz shell]

How hasn’t wildcard and snail games gone insolvent given their inability to meet targets

[wise grotto]

5950x and 4090. I crash every 15-20 mins. Have uninstalled. Re downloaded. Changed graphics. Process lasso only PHY cores. Doesn’t matter. A bad game is a bad game.

[cerulean monolith]

It says it comes out on the 19th of November

[restive terrace]

i get the same 2 crash errors every single time. so i know there has to be a hiccup in something im doing. and i can play for hours with minimal glitching. its just dropping eggs that causes a crash for me

[dense lynx]

What a clown

[jade charm]

did they fix tether distance yet

[mild hemlock]

@pure harbor i dont know what kind of unofficial you are running, but all of them are 26.11 still

[dry vault]

CPU is fine and so the GPU on the most part for the game. I assume you're on low-medium settings, @restive terrace.

@wise grotto I'm on a RX 7800XT, Ryzen 7800X3D & 32GB DDR5-6000MHZ Ram, I haven't crashed since I upgraded to those a few days ago. I'm running on high settings + Streaming regularly, might be a driver problem, clueless tho (use to have a 3070 a month ago)

[jade charm]

did they fix tether distance yet

[restive terrace]

im actually running medium-high, with epic on textures. i have it capped at 30fps, with fog disabled. and have 0 issues otherwise, the fps is pretty stable there. game does NOT use all of the ram on my card

[wise grotto]

I’ve tried everything. Reinstalling drivers. Process lasso. The game doesn’t tax my system much, it just runs like crap. Every time a low level fatal error. My buddy who plays with me has about the same specs but he runs the new ddr5 board and 7900and has the same crashes. Think we are chalking this one up to the game man. I hate to say, but if they are having this many issues on the island I have little faith for any dlc

[red sandal]

yay another patch that doesn't fix Fatal ERRORS

[mild hemlock]

The game has massive performance issues, especially with illumination, there are massive fps drops when approaching dusk and dawn. Not to mention that resolution scaling does not work at all, frames are awful, proof that is a game code issue.

[restive terrace]

i get EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors and DIGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG errors. and the access violations all have the same reading address :/

[tepid lantern]

When ark relases on console or xbox will it be cross play on steam? Or will it be cross play on the microsoft store, I think this because ark survival evolved was a cross play app but when i tried to play it with my friend who has xbox I had to get on microsoft store to play with him, so again, will ark be cross play on steam? or on microsoft store?

[mild hemlock]

These is because you have unstable overclock, on CPU GPU or ram

[wise grotto]

Have to wait and see. Don’t think the console versions are even half baked at this point imo

[dry vault]

@restive terrace Interesting, I haven't had any issues with egg dropping tbh, though I assume that's maybe the texture and mesh of them (depending size). When running on medium, it usually uses like 12GB/16GB of the VRAM on my GPU, tho ig it just has more leg room there.

@wise grotto That's such a pain in the ass man :/ The game is definitely the issue, though the lack of driver support from both AMD and Nvidia certainly doesn't help.

@mild hemlock For sure man, you can see the fact that it's literally a port with a coat of paint from the original game through numerous bugs that still exist (i've most notably seen this with the Pteranodon dash not always jolting you forward)

P.S sorry for the constant @s guys stupid fucking slownmode :<

[tepid lantern]

I mean I believe that they are, because they are giving us a quote for this week, they must already have it 80% finished

[restive terrace]

hm. i dont get those errors on literally any other game. the only thing ive clocked higher is my cpu, and that was something i let the motherboard decide, i didnt set the values myself. ill have to look in my msi settings, i dont think i clocked myy gpu higher

[mild hemlock]

Do an OCCT power test in AVX2 and see if you get any errors

[tepid lantern]

if they didnt have it finished what good would it do to get our hopes up, other than break our hearts

[tough yarrow]

Lowered a bit, sorry. Spammy stuff and forgot XD

[wise grotto]

I’m speaking just from a personal standpoint. If they can’t get it to run correctly on pc atm, I don’t think a console version is going to run decent either.

[dry vault]

Cheers Bee, honestly, sucks that you guys have to resort to doing that, at the end of the day it is a bit of a silly lil dinosaur game, mfers need to chill out with the spam

[tough yarrow]

Agreed, but the internet is the internet 😂 y'all can chill now, if it's annoying though you can dm Dodo Mail at the top of the members list for moderation and let them look into things (slowmode, spam, etc)

[teal mirage]

Have I earned my Bob squad yet

[tough yarrow]

Bob squad role is in #ark-animated-series pins

[teal mirage]

🔥

[dry vault]

I mean you're right. If the best PC hardware can't run it, then it'll be even harder to optimise it for fixed hardware that is behind current gen stuff, by 2 years. Though most of the sales will come from console, which is kinda an incentive to try harder to optimise it. But it'll probably not look too great on there

[wise grotto]

Yeah, not shitting on it. It’s just the truth though.

[restive terrace]

alright, never heard of this, should i do a stress test or let it monitor and get the game to crash?

[fiery rover]

Asa certainly looks to be flopping. They force close ase to make official players switch. All while having lied about it being free and no data loss and then making game defining changes like taking out movement speed. Top it off with half the people can't even run it on pc and then delayed 2 version of the game after lieing and saying it would all release simultaneously. How badly are urgent patches and updates gonna be for pushing out with how bad we've seen things already.

This is nothing but a pr disaster.

[dry vault]

Yeah 100% man. It is a shame, I wanna run the game on Max settings, I have literal new hardware (my gpu came out 2 fuckin months ago) and it can't reach 60fps on max :/

[warm forge]

How yo stop crashing every 5 mins on any settings above all low with 4070😭

[fiery rover]

I have a 4090 and a 7950x. Crashed 3 times in 12 mins of gameplay and I refunded it.

[dry vault]

Oh fuck, no one can help you there man 💀

[fading ice]

it is not unstable hardware, dont cook your CPU with OCCT on the words of some troll. those are common software errors, and also issues a lot of people are getting. you would be seeing bluescreens or hard shutoffs if it was stability, aside from memory corruption

[restive terrace]

yea i got the game to crash, the program is real quiet and not detecting anything. i did monitor only mode btw, but nothing came up

@fading ice i see. ty

[crude talon]

Do you have the DXGI crash?

[warm forge]

Im not sure havent checked

[dry vault]

According to the 3rd Quaterly income, they've sold a good amount, 650K the YouTuber, JadePG watched and made a video on the investor call for Wildcard (who tf would invest with Snail in charge 💀)

[crude talon]

Pm me i'll try to help if I can

[fiery rover]

I don't believe it. And how many are like me and refunded.

[warm forge]

Gimme a sec need to get on my pc

[dry vault]

Yes ofc, but I think it'd be foolish for them to lie to their investors yk?

[fiery rover]

How does it have a peak player count on a new game of 90k on steam lol its avg online is just over ase.

You mean how they have done many times. How the creator of ark stole the idea for the game from his previous employer lol

Lost a 40 million dollar lawsuit because of it.

[restive terrace]

you can see the crash log in your files. steam>steamapps>common>asa>shootergame>saved>crashes and find your most recent crash, then find the xml file. shows the text

[dense narwhal]

Really bad rubberbanding again

[restive terrace]

huh. looking at my old crash logs, i still get the exception access errors, but its now address 0x0000000100000077 instead of address 0x0000000700000077. anybody else get these specific addresses?

[crude talon]

The way I've fixed my ASA crashes was by searching for UE5 fixes first and now no more crashes since

[dry vault]

I got the first one like a few days ago before I upgraded my CPU, every couple times I'd open my inventory, it'd crash

[crude talon]

UE5 is far from being a perfect engine

[red sandal]

LOL thought the new patch + the new nvidia driver may have fixed the crash I got about 5 minutes in and crashed hahaha

[wary iron]

who's ready for the release of ASA "soon"💀💀 WC needs to give a straight answer and just say "we are waiting on certification for Sony and Xbox, and we don't know when the game can be released" easy as that but no they wanna just keep saying "soon🤓🤓"

[restive terrace]

that was me when the game first came out, and that got fixed a day or so later. didnt have ANY problems until the patch last week, the one before the one that just came out

[mild hemlock]

Imagine calling stability tears fool

[crude talon]

For inventory crashes search google for TdrLevel

[keen quartz]

just got this error, where can I check where something is being overclocked

[mild hemlock]

Was it a bsod or game crash?

[keen quartz]

game crash

[tawdry fulcrum]

where is the website that i can see the order of dlcs that wildcard will release?

[frozen tiger]

Idk about yall but this recent patch is literally making me and everyone else on my server teleport around like we're rubberbanding except with no other sign of lag whatsoever

[keen quartz]

bsod is blue screening right

[brave onyx]

Do froggos eat regular meat?

[warm forge]

I get this error with my only overclock being ram xmp

[mild hemlock]

What settings are you playing in game? Also yes

[keen quartz]

medium

[mild hemlock]

Yeah they are errors related to memory, unstable XMP can lead to these crash and be tedious to find out

[warm forge]

well

to the bios I go

[keen quartz]

honestly its probably my RAM, i need to upgrade it anyway

[mild hemlock]

Moreover the game has a lot of memory leaks

[fading ice]

each of those words individually means something, i guess

[mild hemlock]

Game crashes anyway, but there could be many reasons of crash too

You won't believe how many ram kits I have found unstable at factory xmp on so many systems

[fading cobalt]

will windows 10 be able to join xbox offical or just crossplay, trying to find more info

[lofty urchin]

Ark survival delayed

[fading ice]

tbh probably 2 out of 3 gaming PCs, especially prebuilts, have had zero testing done and are utterly haunted by random memory corruption from shitty RAM/motherboard firmware spewing out nonsense for subtiming gen

[normal gorge]

My download says its going to take 2 years. 😂

[keen quartz]

i mean i have like 18 RAM last i checked

[mild hemlock]

XMP are never fully tested, they are mass produced, that is obvious. However it's also motherboards fault, xmp fault and CPU certification fault

[mild hemlock]

You mean 16

[keen quartz]

probably

[fading ice]

they are tested. how well depends on the brand. most issues i see are with shitty gamerbait brands like corsair. on the flip side, crucial? very rare

[dreamy ore]

Stop being a loser damn

[mild hemlock]

Not probably, rams goes by power of 2

[keen quartz]

oh, im not a tech guy lol

[grand magnet]

You know she's not a Dev right? Zero IQ.

[mild hemlock]

As I said, tested yes but not fully, some sub timings always gets screwed and can lead to write errors as they are not ecc, and system crash on RDNA GPU as they have ECC

[keen quartz]

yeah i got 16 RAM 15.8 useable

[restive terrace]

no way windows only uses .2gb

[still hinge]

Anyone know a fix for when your update gets stuck on steam??

[mild hemlock]

16gb are enough to run the game tho, how much VRAM do you have?

[fading ice]

the small reserved bit tends to be by hardware, usually integrated graphics or a couple other devices, not windows itself

[jagged berry]

Any news about Xbox release

[keen quartz]

where do i check that

[mild hemlock]

What GPU do you have

[grand magnet]

Nope. Later this week

[fading ice]

just post your GPU model.. but this is a wild goose chase, the game is just unstable now, nothing to do with your hardware

[jagged berry]

That’s kinda annoying I’m so excited to play and they do this

[keen quartz]

3060 TI

[left raven]

@viral shore latest update broke something. our unofficial server is spawning all sea creatures and cave creatures in the sky at 50-50 on the map. got it on recording lol

[fading ice]

8GB VRAM, then. not insufficient

[jagged berry]

We got ark’D

Wdym

[mild hemlock]

So you have got 8gb of VRAM which is very in the edge. It is not a problem for the future when they will optimize the game I hope, but for now there are memory leaks and the game can crank all your VRAM and ram. I go up to 14gb in 1080p

[hallow temple]

Minimum Ram needed for ASA?

[tough yarrow]

Lettuce keep this channel on topic

[fading ice]

someone was playing it on a GTX 1050, hardly the very edge. it looked.. interesting. but it ran.

[warm forge]

16 gigs

[dense vigil]

When ark

[grand lagoon]

lol might want to undo the last patch. notably more lag when flying than before.

[hallow temple]

thanks.

[mild hemlock]

16gb are enough if you have more than 8gb VRAM

[fading ice]

8GB is way more than enough to not crash outright. dont confuse memory reservation with actual usage

[hallow temple]

I have 8 GB ram and 1650GTX it lags too much

[grand magnet]

1650 is not good enough neither is 8GB. I wouldn't even try playing ase on that

[mild hemlock]

And I am not, and I can very well confirm you that in a 16gb card, 15.7 is been allocated and 13.80 are being used by the game, medium 1080p.

Game restart and goes down to 9gb, so as I said, it's memory leaks

[warm forge]

can def run ASE wit hthat lmao

[fading ice]

8GB system RAM? likely an extremely old and insufficient CPU with that capacity, that is all an issue

[hallow temple]

😭

[fading ice]

VRAM does not leak like that, absolutely not how anything works in any way. it reserves aggressively

[grand magnet]

Yea, you can but I wouldn't recommend it.

[hallow temple]

I have Asus TUF A15 laptop

[fading ice]

lol. persistent..

[chilly hornet]

Hi

[hallow temple]

hi

[mild hemlock]

It does, as I have zero allocation on the virtual VRAM, everything stays in the GPU

[restive terrace]

dang. new windows and nvidia update, still crashing with my eggs 😭 and i did lookup ue5 error fixes... and theyre having problems with things i dont have

[hallow temple]

we are waiting for ASA

[humble kelp]

your mom

[mild hemlock]

What kind of eggs? I wanna try to replicate it tomorrow

[lofty urchin]

asa xbox and ps4 delayed till ark 2 release

[hallow temple]

have mercy lord

[grand magnet]

PS4 damn.

[mild hemlock]

PS5*

[kind ocean]

Good God that is still a pipe dream lol \

[hallow temple]

I have to wait for PS5 release because my laptop is old.

[restive terrace]

im mostly breeding yutys rn, so thats what ive got going. tried it in and out of my hatching hut, same problems

[hallow temple]

they should not have taken down the online servers for consoles so early.

[barren ginkgo]

21 minutes guys!! Are you excited?

[mild hemlock]

I breed Yuti too but I am not having issues, maybe you can try to manage those eggs on high distance from your base, out of rendering, test it

[grand magnet]

I agree. But it was a choice of making money or spending money.

[warm forge]

till wat

[hallow temple]

sad but true...

[languid harbor]

I have an rtx 3060 and 16 gb of ddr4, planning to upgrade to 32 gb ddr4 think that'll make a noticeable difference?. I currently get 60fps on medium-high settings but it tends to drop a decent bit in dense forest/rain

[hallow temple]

I just can't live without my rexes 😦

[mild hemlock]

No difference

[barren ginkgo]

it comes out

[fading ice]

depends, are you hitting 90%+ memory use? if so, it will help. if you are not running out of RAM, having more RAM does absolutely nothing

[warm forge]

what is "it"\

[restive terrace]

where is your base? im between the two snow mountains, perhaps theres something wrong there? idk man. like i said, i have 0 crashing if i play the rest of the game, explore, tame things, whatever. its literally just me dropping eggs on the ground that causes the crashing. and yea i could just. not do that rn, but im color breeding + breeding for bosses/caves. my base is already built and my gear is great.

[grand magnet]

Bet "it" will be great

[kind ocean]

All these glowing reports are doing nothing to inspire me to rebuy Ark at all. Better it has gone arse up getting on with RL now after 35,000 hrs maybe if its still going in a few years I might look again, BUT NOT YET.

[hallow temple]

dates may go beyond Christmas

[mint current]

hey! ive been getting an issue where im getting kicked from the game with the message saying "you hve been kicked by BattlEye. Reason 'Bad Service Version'", does anyone know how to fix this?

[mild hemlock]

47 57, redwood river. I play on ghost division cluster island 2, if you want you could hop on and try to replicate it, tomorrow

[restive terrace]

nah ive got classes + work tomorrow. thanks tho

[barren ginkgo]

What will be first map to come out? I hope its not scorched…

[warm forge]

center and scorched iirc

[languid harbor]

Depends. With discord open/chrome then I'm usually around 80% and it might be spiking in high intensity areas

[barren ginkgo]

North without cryo will be very intresting yes

[grand magnet]

Just scorched

[warm forge]

is it still set for december do u know?

[tough yarrow]

Center was never said to be added in December, which SE is still confirmed for then

[grand magnet]

Yea, but who knows if that's the case anymore
Officially still set to mid December

[silent matrix]

what tek is on ascended already? i know buildings are but gear wise what’s alreayd unlockable

[stuck pike]

In ASE if you put resources in a storage box on a platform saddle, it would add to the dino's weight.

Has any1 tested if this is also the case in ASA?

[mild hemlock]

You are on the edge, but not in the need of going 32. You will not see any noticeable increase in fps.

[fading ice]

insert chrome memory meme

[mild hemlock]

All you have to see is your in game GPU usage, should be stuck to 100%

[fading ice]

80% is definitely on the edge of swap thrashing territory, it would likely not raise fps, but would reduce freezing and stuttering a ton

[languid harbor]

Eh it's 40 bucks I may as well get it just to have it down the line

[stuck pike]

Why would you have chrome open

[mild hemlock]

Wait 32gb for 40 bucks? What kit is it?

[languid harbor]

16 for 40 I already have 16

[grand magnet]

Don't forget black Friday is around the corner

[fading ice]

16GB is 30-40 US$ now, 32GB 45-50$

[mild hemlock]

Hell no, you must buy a whole new kit. That would not work

[grand magnet]

Who says?

[mild hemlock]

Different sub timings and 4 dimm can be hard to sustain xmp

[languid harbor]

Wha

[grand magnet]

The tests that have been made are minimal

[fading ice]

someone who has a gamer-level knowledge of tech. it is almost guaranteed to work if you tune manually, and will most likely work fine with XMP. you just need to get a kit with the same specs. the only way it can fail is if the motherboard cant find a single set of timings both kits can operate at

if the kits are of reasonable speed and both the same specs, it is basically guaranteed unless you have some dogshit asus board that has never seen a subtiming it did not love

[mild hemlock]

You can bet that a lot of motherboards cannot sustain 4 dimm in xmp.

[languid harbor]

I'm just getting an identical stick to what I already have I don't see the problem

[fresh garden]

rubberbanding is so bad.....

[fading ice]

..something i have literally never seen aside from early AM5 at 5600Mhz+

[grand magnet]

Yea. It is fine.

[fading ice]

wait, you only have one single stick? that is obliterating performance if so. what specs is it?

[eager quest]

They need to make Griffin breathable change my mind

[languid harbor]

16gb ddr4 and my ram is rarely if ever above 90%

[eager quest]

Dude they made a Titan boa breathable but they can't make a damn Griffin breathable

[mild hemlock]

Are you on 1x16 or 2x8?

[eager quest]

Other than the old cable system, tighten bars were useless 👿

[grand magnet]

What? Lol

[languid harbor]

1x16 why?

[fading ice]

no, like what actual model kit, or speed and latency? 1x16 is likely really shitty quality, and is crippling your memory bandwidth and thus CPU performance

[eager quest]

Titanoboas are useless

[languid harbor]

My cpu isn't running into any problems

[fading ice]

a gaming PC absolutely needs dual channel memory, and single kits tend to be reject quality, not worth buying another of those

[eager quest]

But they made them breathable you can't breathe Griffins what the f**

[grand magnet]

Yea, but what does that have to do with being able to breed something as OP as a griffin?

[languid harbor]

And Asa is literally the only thing giving me trouble and it's 95% due to my gpu

[mild hemlock]

Rip, this cut you off a lot of performances, yes you do need a second stick of ram. Try to buy it identical and make sure you are installing them in the correct dimm slots

[eager quest]

Maybe not an official, but if they made unofficial servers have the capability to choose having Griffins being breathable for mutations, that'd be awesome

[languid harbor]

I can run every other game I have at max settings 1080p 60fps

[eager quest]

Or just make every creature in ark be breathable other than a limited time creatures?

Like the titanosaur in the weird fish that gives you better loot

[grand magnet]

That's not up to wildcard anymore then. Unofficial make their own mods.

[limber hemlock]

you need 2 sticks of matching ram

[fading ice]

then you dont run anything remotely demanding 🤔

[icy silo]

this not good

[mild hemlock]

You have not been running memory intensive games then, ark is not. Not on ram but in VRAM, which you are lucky to have 12gb, enough for 1080p

[eager quest]

Yeah but we don't need a mod. Every time like a Griffin is a mix between a bird, a lion. And one more thing I forgot but if they got a TLC where it made them breathable or at least made them be able to shoot feathers like in the fantasy that'd be f****** dope

[languid harbor]

What even are ram intensive games then

[deft gale]

Steam gonna be able to join in on the Xbox cross servers?

[eager quest]

Yes

[grand magnet]

The PvP community doesn't want breedable Griffin's though thanks

[mild hemlock]

If you had less VRAM in your GPU, you would have a ton of issues. Ram intensive games are tarkov or star citizen for example

[lofty bough]

anyone have a sec help me test something see if you can join my server

[icy silo]

Minecraft

[mild hemlock]

It's not unless you run 800 mods, and moreover cpu intensive than ram

[eager quest]

Yeah but for PVE where we like mutations and just having fun with that s*** like they made a bug that is able to break tech breathable and Griffins. Aren't that more Opie than a mana?

[languid harbor]

I don't give a singular shit about either of those lol. Same goes for minecraft

[icy silo]

oh i do

[eager quest]

Say a Griffin is more OP than a mana b*******

[grand magnet]

Mana blows griffin OP

[mild hemlock]

I don't care if you do. I am just here to tell you that one stick for games is bad. Then what you wanna do with this information it's your problem

[fading ice]

more gamer nonsense answers.. it is not really "RAM intensive" in capacity, using a single stick means you are getting half the memory speed you should, and that hurts your CPU performance.. extremely dramatically, in some games. you will get a lot more stutter, lag spikes, bad frametimes, and overall lower fps. single kits also tend to be shitty speed/latency, so it usually is more like 1/3rd to 1/4th the memory speed of a proper PC

[eager quest]

A manne can freeze a griffin midair but Amanda's below a griffin Griffins can't even pick up s*** at least make them be able to pick up more s*** or I don't know. Shoot feathers make them better dude. They're kind of useless right now other than they're glidability and being insanely f****** fast

[icy silo]

mf probably running 2100mhz bruh on 1 stick

[eager quest]

And even then a manager or a snow owl can keep up with them

[languid harbor]

OK but my point still stands that I have run into no performance problems besides Asa and even then it's minor frame drops infrequently

[icy silo]

because you play at 1080p

1080p is dog for quality, not for performance

[languid harbor]

Me when I play at the highest resolution my monitor can go at

[fading ice]

that is about the most classic symptom of low memory speed there is. likely you are so used to everything being shitty that you dont recognize it as an issue. i have seen this enough times before

[languid harbor]

How is stable 60 at max settings on the highest resolution my monitor has shitty

[fading ice]

may as well best out the frametime graph and see if it looks like a mountain range on crack

[dark jolt]

Are the new performance updates actually making difference from launch (asa)?

[grand magnet]

Just get another stick and we can all stop going on about it 🤣

[orchid fog]

Do we have any info for release for ARK on xbox?

[eager quest]

Just saying give Griffins a t

[icy silo]

because you just said its 1080p, obvs your monitor doesnt support high resol.utions..

[grand magnet]

Minimal so far but yes

[fading ice]

because framerate is a number made up by software to show frametime without a giant bar graph

[dark jolt]

you noticed it?

[grand magnet]

I "think" so. As I said it's minimal if anything.

Maybe 5-10 FPS

[mild hemlock]

No

[dark jolt]

Im thinking about buying ascended

[languid harbor]

What difference does it make lol. In every single game besides Asa (which is extremely demanding) I have no visible stuttering or frame drops

[dark jolt]

but everybody has a different opinion, some say it cant run on any PC, while others claim to run it on a 2070.

[mild hemlock]

Do you run all your games locked at 60 fps?

[fading ice]

ASA is not even that demanding on the CPU.. like, if all you play is skyrim or something ancient, you wont notice issues. any modern game is going to be screaming in pain on that, though, let alone stuff like simulations, emulators, RTS..

[grand magnet]

I know someone running it 30+ FPS on a 1050

[languid harbor]

I can run it in a perfectly playable state at mid to high settings on a 1k dollar PC so yeah its fine

[dark jolt]

Ok thanks

[languid harbor]

My monitor is 60hz so yes

[mild hemlock]

Then that is why you never noticed anything

Also if that 1k dollar PC was made by someone pre built and sold as gaming PC, should be fired with no exceptions

[fading ice]

...1000$ "gaming" PC has scam RAM. what retailer actually has the nerve to do that and what else is cutcorner 🤔

[mild hemlock]

I don't even wanna ask what cooler the CPU has

[languid harbor]

I've had no problems with AC6, Elden ring, mhw, ff7r, nms, or anything else

[mild hemlock]

Again, 60 fps locked

[languid harbor]

And?

[mild hemlock]

And, you are still not getting the point of this conversation

Nobody is telling you you have a problem, we are just telling you that not having 2 sticks is cutting you reasonable performances

[grand magnet]

And that's why he's buying another one. All good

[languid harbor]

And the point of this was that I was getting 2 sticks and even with 1 I'm having no real issues lmao

[fading ice]

the point was, if it is a shit kit to begin with, a new 2x16 or 4x8 kit will be way better than matching some trash like 2666Mhz CAS 22.. which sadly exists

even if stuff is fine now (i guarantee it is not, the difference will be obvious in hindsight), it wont stay fine

[mild hemlock]

At this point I believe they are even running JEDEC

[fading ice]

cant scream in JEDEC, too slow

[mild hemlock]

They will never know

[languid harbor]

I don't know what universe stable 60fps max settings games is bad but you guys keep on thinking that ig?

[granite pelican]

i wonder if thay will open the orp servers

[mild hemlock]

Never said it's bad. I'm on a 7800xt in 1080p

[fading ice]

a lot of people would wheeze in tears at 60fps in general.. but framerate in a bunch of ancient engine games is not really the point

[visual girder]

🇹🇰 🔂 🏔️ 🚀

[languid harbor]

I would invalidate the opinion of anyone who wheezes in tears at 60fps lol

[charred jolt]

dont most people not really see a change in anything over 60 and if they do its very very meniscal?

[granite pelican]

i get 60 fps on my rtx 4060 with medium/high settings

[fading ice]

probably wise

[mild hemlock]

Depends on what are your expectations and how much money you spend on it

[languid harbor]

The human eye literally doesn't see any noticeable difference above I think 90

[granite pelican]

yea the human eyes can only see things so fast

[fading ice]

that is an old shitpost/meme, it absolutely does. eyes dont see in frames

[grand magnet]

Which is why we live in a simulation

[charred jolt]

well no duh of course not but im saying they dont see a difference when looking at 60 fps compared to 200

[languid harbor]

No ik but like science wise your eye doesn't perceive much difference past a certain point

[fading ice]

it gets linearly less useful as you go up, but up to about 200 is a clear difference.. framerate is, again, a fake numbers, though. frametime is what matters, and is very perceptible

[fading ice]

yeah, that is in the high hundreds to thousands depending on the individual. actually tested.. any benefit for gaming ends way below that

[mild hemlock]

Oof this is my one way ticket out of this conversation. Just for your information: jet fighter pilots are eye trained to see up to 10 times fast details than regular human standards.

[languid harbor]

Me omw to get 60 frames per minute 5 hours into a ror2 run

[fading ice]

just 120 over 60 is a huge difference for gaming, if it is properly in sync with stable frametimes

[granite pelican]

thay dont your right but still the human eye can only see so fast and likewise the brain can only prossses what it sees so fast so at some point you will no longer notice a change at higher fps

[fading ice]

180 over 120 is a much smaller gain than 120 over 60, though..

[languid harbor]

I for one can't see jack shit between 120 and 240

[fading ice]

meanwhile me, at 30 fps LAN streaming on a hacked nintendo switch:

[tired mulch]

Why official servers are so laggy

[languid harbor]

60 to 120 is noticeable but only in certain animations

[grand magnet]

In the end... If you can enjoy what you are playing the frames you get, it doesn't matter.

[fading ice]

i mean, yeah, stuff has to actually be moving. it usually is in games

[granite pelican]

lol im glas you asked.. the host is garbage

[fading ice]

a lot of really slow-paced 2D games look identical at low fps

[turbid leaf]

so any plans on removing this game crippling camera smoothing/offest? or at the very least allowing it to be disabled

[granite pelican]

ik crypods where a extinction thing but i wish thay was added in the base game for asa i miss crypods

[turbid leaf]

its such an easy thing to just not have and would 10x the quality of the game

[wanton sky]

I know a guy who can run it on epic

[fading ice]

iirc you can use the old camera movement via a setting?

[turbid leaf]

thats camera interpolation

[fading ice]

on a 4060? do they enjoy 20 fps, or is it a denial thing?

[wanton sky]

There's a mod for it

[turbid leaf]

im talking about the camera still moving even after i stop moving my mouse

[granite pelican]

ik but i play offical

[wanton sky]

No they can actually run it just fine

[turbid leaf]

wonder if I should just refund this atrocity

[fading ice]

they have a magic unicorn 4060, worth a ton of money.. or are just lying cheerfully

[granite pelican]

king give it time even ase had a rocky start

[turbid leaf]

yea but i wasnt forced to use mouse smoothing in ASE

[wanton sky]

Naw they are a youtuber called rassclark

[turbid leaf]

its just baffling to me that its forced upon me, on a PVP game, where it makes aiming a weapon impossible

[granite pelican]

there likely lieing i run it with most on medium shadow low only thing on high is view distance and textures

[fading ice]

on youtube compression, nobody can see your native resolution actually is 540p TSR to 1080p 😂

[granite pelican]

lol

id say between what i got on high medium and low the over all average of my graphics is medium

most of the super heavy stuff is on low like shadows and lighting

[wanton sky]

Not being rude not saying your lying but sometimes I can't help buy feel that some are just saying they have a really good pc when they actually don't

[grand magnet]

4060 isn't that insane

[old seal]

Game is playable on older hardware but you need to use some fucked up settings

Launch options, console commands, low settings. Looks like ase again lol

[low totem]

Wtf did they do? can't fly anywhere now without teleporting backwards

[wanton sky]

I know people who play it on laptop play it just fine

[turbid leaf]

whats just fine to them

[granite pelican]

i upgraded to rtx 4060 from gtx1660 super

[old seal]

What are you flying on that's usually an issue on quetzals if there's a platform saddle

[low totem]

Argie and since patch

[grand magnet]

Yea. Pretty big step.

[hallow moon]

hey guys any tips on leveling after lvl 88?

[turbid leaf]

kill titan or alphas

[old seal]

O boy

[old seal]

Swamp cave is alright. But killing a titan is best for exp

[plain rover]

@hallow moon team of 2 ppl in tribe you load grinder and the other person turn it on

[granite pelican]

i ebded up paying 1k dollors just to play ark cuz i had to upgrade my cpu cuz it was bottlenecking and sence i was on the upgrading path i went from 16 gb ram to 32 gb

[wanton sky]

They don't have alot of issues they only crash once a while

[hallow moon]

that sounds doable i don't think i'm kiling a titan haven't seen alphas in a while

[turbid leaf]

personally, i dont play games that maintain 30 fps

[old seal]

If you tame a thylacoleo you can bleed it and get it down pretty easily

[wanton sky]

It's funny because a pc should beat laptops in gaming not the other way around

[hallow moon]

30 frames on asa is fine to be honest it's not a fps shooter and 30 fps feels good vs other games at 30 fps

[turbid leaf]

its not an fps shooter, you sure?

[grand magnet]

Yea. I see that alot lately. Sometimes almost better to just buy a new pc which you basically did.

[old seal]

I mean yeah it is a fps shooter if you're playing pvp lol the game is literally called shooter game in the files

[wanton sky]

Bro ark is fps shooter tf?

[fading ice]

not a lot of twitchy firefights in ark "pvp"

[hallow moon]

unless your playing tourment on a pvp server then yes it's not a competive game to have 144 fps

[wanton sky]

What are you smoking

[turbid leaf]

well thats what I enjoy lol

[old seal]

Having shit frames on ark pvp is no good lol

[low totem]

I don't care about FPS in PVE 40+ is fine.. But this rubberbanding is feral.

[turbid leaf]

im not the type to sit in base raising tames for 8+ hrs a day, i bought a shooter, imma shoot some ppl

[wanton sky]

Okay bud the game has raiding in it there's gonna constant shooting pvp and all that

[granite pelican]

yea alot of ppl i know think it was insane to spend that much money to play one game but ark is like my 2end life i have over 15k hours in ase and it was killing ne not to beable to play asa

[hallow moon]

then you have a lot more worrie about then 30 fps u got delay's server de sync issues latency between ur imput and screen you see a whole lot of issues that this game provides that makes pvp well prob not fun

[plain rover]

@granite pelican agree and I still cant

[turbid leaf]

and now you cant even play the good maps💀

[wanton sky]

It's an fps shooter Whether you like it or not.

[granite pelican]

i miss crypods i also miss my shadowmane

[turbid leaf]

ive been complaining about the mouse/camera acceleration for a reason, if I cant aim on top of the lag, why waste my time and money

[wanton sky]

Soon lol

[slow jewel]

I updated the game and now it’s made me reinstall it 3 separate times…?

[high grotto]

Anyone have any interest in helping me start up an ark trading discord for when transfers open?

[low totem]

Camera out of your crotch is terrible too

[turbid leaf]

months💀

abberation is next after SE so no cryos yet

[wanton sky]

Yeah sooooon lol

[hallow moon]

it is what you wanna think it is but comes down to dino game dino's are main focus not fpshooting

[granite pelican]

whens se suposed to come out

[grand magnet]

Mid December

[wanton sky]

Tf you need to shoot dinos to get them you are jokes my guy lol

[hallow moon]

ddi you change the camera controls to tight on char?

[turbid leaf]

no matter what you change there is going to be acceleration

[old seal]

Aberration* 🤓

[turbid leaf]

ive tried everything, read every code in the console, looked at game files, nothing

[hallow moon]

yea i can shoot dinos 3rd person too lol i don't "need to be 1st person" nor am i locked into first person to tame dinos

[old seal]

I haven't had an issue with mouse smoothing maybe it's something with your mouse?

[turbid leaf]

then you dont know what im talking about, its a 3rd person camera only thing

[wanton sky]

Yeah just because they gave you option does not make a non fps

[fading ice]

i have also not witnessed this effect, sounds like a bug

[granite pelican]

i used to have a nice shotgun i would if someone came after me on a dino id just kill there dino in a few sec then kill the player. the only dinos i didnt do that with was gigas and wyverns

[hallow moon]

ah i got what ur saying at first i felt some floating to camera controls too but after turning char camera to tight helped but not 100% what i use to for sure

[turbid leaf]

you can see it clearly, put ur sense to the max and go in 3rd person, move ur mouse and stop moving it see what happens

now imagine ur trying to shoot a player, its virtually impossible and im not going to ruin my aim trying to learn this accelerated garbage

[granite pelican]

hay guys whats your fav new feature in asa

[turbid leaf]

the refund button

[sturdy nexus]

Frl

[granite pelican]

oof

[hallow moon]

wait i just noticed there is a camera setting says off for char and dino i don't think was off for char at launch

[turbid leaf]

ill give it time but damn, it not something that should be on by default anyways

[hallow moon]

yea try turning it off feels way better now

[turbid leaf]

those dont fix it I tried

i want i completely off, not reduced

it shouldnt be there in the first place

[hallow moon]

wait i see the gun has a delay in movement it's not going be csgo quality of movement it's mor realistic i think was idea

[granite pelican]

my fav new feature is the tamed dino tracking its nice knowing i wont lose my dinos on the map

[turbid leaf]

this is a multiplayer game where others can kill you and set you back hours of gameplay, not a single player

[orchid fog]

Do we have any info for release for ARK on xbox?

[turbid leaf]

i dont want the devs to take away my ability to defend myself just because it "looks nice"

[granite pelican]

or months ase pvp :p

[turbid leaf]

if the PVE players enjoy the feature thats good for them, but at least let me turn it off

[hallow moon]

i don't pvp but i understand the floating crosshairs and gun lagging behind camera and there's no setting turn it off like in synced new game on unreal engine 5

[wanton sky]

Yeah shotguns are op

[turbid leaf]

imagine you waste hours of your life that you cant get back dedicating yourself to get good at this game, then this BS gets implemented

im more than infuriated

if the devs wont do it someone out there will code a way to disable it

[north sequoia]

How’s game after update?

[hallow moon]

yea mucle memory getting ur aim down and now you have to compicate for 1ms or 2ms for gun to catch up to crosshairs when you trained ur muscle memory for years on other games and shoots i totally get it

[fading ice]

meanwhile i have no trouble aiming 🤔

[granite pelican]

honestly as cool as i think asa is i wish thay would of just fixed the one thay already had

[fading ice]

if it is a bug, it will get fixed. if not, some modder will do it

[turbid leaf]

the game looks great but they just completely fumbled it by letting snail games and nitrado rush them

[granite pelican]

thay was never good at fixing there bugs in ase how is asa goin to be any different there to focused on adding new stuff befor fixing the old

[hallow moon]

darn it king now i know it's there i can't unsee it lmao

[turbid leaf]

now you see lol

it makes me feel nauseous

[hallow moon]

yeah i feel crosseyed lol

[granite pelican]

did u know snail games is 4 million dollers in debt

[turbid leaf]

yea, they just dumped their balls onto the ark devs

dirty company

[winged hamlet]

heres hoping a better company can buy wc

[granite pelican]

from what i understand nitrado payed there debt in exchange for exlusive server hosting

[old seal]

Did you know they made almost 30 million dollers from asa

[turbid leaf]

yea but i think they let go of some restrictions

every ark creator threatened them lol

[shrewd estuary]

Honestly could see Xbox being interested in buying them in the future

[granite pelican]

thay did but if u want to host a server other then doin it on your own computer theres only 1 place u can get a host for asa

[polar thunder]

are the performance optimizations over?

[fading ice]

the account restriction on hosting a private server got lifted, unlcear if that was nitrado or an oversight, but it was gone damn fast

[turbid leaf]

the major servers have their own hardware anyways

[winged hamlet]

the optimizations will keep going for months probably

[fading ice]

you can host it on any cloud provider. all it does is prevent companies offering pre-configured ark servers

[polar thunder]

gave them 80 of that so far lol

[turbid leaf]

how

2 copies?

[polar thunder]

buying friend the game too, who then bought it for 2 others lmao

[turbid leaf]

mmmmmm

[polar thunder]

bad influence but wildcard loves that ig

[turbid leaf]

muny

[old seal]

Real

[polar thunder]

stupid paper with a belief behind it

[shrewd estuary]

I'll buy it eventually but im considering just hosting my own if i can, im too far behind official and i spent 300 days playing official on ASE

[granite pelican]

wildcards 1st mistakes was barrowing money from snail games in exchange for copy rights to ark

[old seal]

Not what happened but sure

[granite pelican]

now snailgames basicly owns wildcard

[turbid leaf]

official is basically owned by the mega tribes, they killed ASE and they will kill ASA

[grand lagoon]

lol bro what kind of "pipeline" does WC have that they think they can build, test, and deploy patches like every hour lol

[old seal]

They don't basically own It they literally own it, legally

[winged hamlet]

wc dev had a noncompete with his previous employer, previous employer sued and took like all the profit from ark launch

[cursive token]

FIX TETHER DISTANCE

[winged hamlet]

then snail games bought wc

[grand lagoon]

"Tweaked some ini values to reduce/eliminate rubber banding on servers with low frame rate or players with high latency"

aka: we didn't properly test the last patch. oops.

[fading ice]

..ahem, let me do my best triggered official pvp player impersonation.. lol i dont play no skill boosted x1000 trash all of you have no hands uninstall now noob u cant pvp

[polar thunder]

what are you on about

[cursive token]

asa nondedicated tether distance is completely broken

[atomic torrent]

When two people are playing splitscreen, they can’t go more than a certain distance apart

[cursive token]

no matter how high you set it to, it always stays 180m

[atomic torrent]

And the ASA tether mechanic is experiencing…difficulties I assume

[grand magnet]

Splitscreen? 🤔

[turbid leaf]

its on console only i think

[shrewd estuary]

Oh yeah the fable mechanic in 2023

[dense gale]

December

[winged hamlet]

not splitscreen, nonded servers

[low totem]

So this is 2 patches in 2 days they are just undoing cause it broke it? Nice.

[round ridge]

When is scorched coming out?

[silent matrix]

How much has player performance improved? I haven’t played for a few weeks

[normal swan]

ffs this is exactly why NOBODY pushes out micro patches like this literally every time they change a thing

[turbid leaf]

december, maybe...

[dense gale]

...December lol

[round ridge]

Oh cool!

[turbid leaf]

emphasis on the MAYBE

[fading ice]

lots of minor improvements to performance, still some big crashy engine issues that will likely take a while to squash

[silent matrix]

Ah alr, im not as much worried about crashing as i am fps and whatnot

[low totem]

Plays worse than first week

[polar thunder]

Any idea if lost island will be released aswell? (fan made map adopted into official)

[winged hamlet]

i havent had a game crash in a couple weeks

[dense gale]

It's wildcard so December probably means February

[turbid leaf]

of 2025

[silent matrix]

Im happy with 40+ fps but i cant get that if im not on low

[vapid pecan]

do trikes fit into swamp cave?

[turbid leaf]

oh my

[winged hamlet]

theres some settings that help fps without tweaking graphics

[fading ice]

most of the work seems to be focused on server performance right now, client got some good improvement over day one, though

[winged hamlet]

volumetric clouds set to 0 boosts me by 10fps

[silent matrix]

Yea, i hope they return to looking at player performance. Both are important tho

[polar thunder]

+10 FPS? The game literally looks better on low vs medium, i think because my 980ti can process it better? 45-70fps. Highly recommend the console command “r.VolumetricCloud 0” to get another 10-15 FPS

[silent matrix]

Ty yea, the ini stuff helps a bit but it sucks to lose clouds and whatnot i like them

[low totem]

Don't forget r.fog 0

[polar thunder]

^

[turbid leaf]

980ti???? 💀

[fading ice]

a lot of the engine shit may be in the "fuck it, wait for the unreal 5.3 upgrade" bin, not worth the effort of fixing in 5.2

[silent matrix]

Mabye

[winged hamlet]

the clouds are nice but i can do without them

[polar thunder]

Like a boss. 🤌🏻

[silent matrix]

Im runnin a 2080

[low totem]

The clouds are grainy ass

[winged hamlet]

the sky is also nice

[low totem]

Every now and then they look good. But mostly ass

[turbid leaf]

.

[silent matrix]

Mabye the mods dont like ur pfp or somethin

[polar thunder]

agreed. and like @winged hamlet said the sky is quite a pretty backdrop

[turbid leaf]

icy spicy?

[lilac tinsel]

How's the performance on a 6900xt in Ark?

[polar thunder]

more specs?

[low totem]

My bro has that GPU runs fine in 2K.
Runs fine in 4K for me 7900XTX

[polar thunder]

All depends on the CPU combo too tho

[lilac tinsel]

5800x

[turbid leaf]

amd X3D chips prob best for this game

[polar thunder]

The game is single core dependent so the intel chips have been yielding better FPS for players

[low totem]

I just swapped from a 5600x to 5800X3D and zero frame increase, all GPU limited for me (4K)

[ionic hornet]

is there a way to fix only seeing about 30 servers on unofficial. My other PC on the network shows 200 but one PC on the network only gets 30.

[slate basin]

I've been seeing about 50 for the past week (password off) about 200 enabled

also they're all 26.11 atm, why is nothing updated?

[ionic hornet]

bummer. I can't get more than 90

[orchid fog]

Do we have any info for release for ARK on xbox?

[slate basin]

client I get, but if it's server - shouldn't it be applied already

[ionic hornet]

and I tried to port forward 443

[slate basin]

passworded shows alot more for me

[rancid scaffold]

Anything from the devs at all since the bad news? I can't see any messages from dollie since 13th and jat since even further back.

[slate basin]

has something happened? im usually out of the loop

[rancid scaffold]

Or anything from the higher ups?

I mean the xbox release date that was initially prophesised for the 14th lol

[slate basin]

you know that means give it a week right?

+1 day is miracle work

yeah there is nothing about 26.11

[rancid scaffold]

I guess it would mean that had they not said in the announcement that it could still be this week so days for an update isn't too deep of a request

[slate basin]

right

[orchid fog]

last i read it said later this week

Xbox and Windows Survivors, the game is still going through the certification process and will not be releasing on Tuesday.

We are expecting it to release it later this week, but, we'll update with a more precise time when we have it.

so friday?

[slate basin]

how do you think the release is gonna go?

[orchid fog]

so they SAY its going to be caught up with steam version...

soooo bad.

[slate basin]

lets hope, but I mean...functionwise, it is the 1st version im most worried about

[orchid fog]

im 100% there will be bugs. i pray for 0 crashes. and 0 mesh

[slate basin]

no crash would be nice, wait....how do consoles crash? blank screen lol

[orchid fog]

we call it the dashboard

[plain rover]

Or crash Is being dashboarded

[slate basin]

ah thats right I forgot

[eager forge]

Actually we call it dashboarding when we crash

[slate basin]

I've only owned a day one xbox one which I stopped many years ago lol

[rancid scaffold]

Day 1 of launch will be a shit storm as is tradition for massively online sandbox games. That's expected, probably do lots of patches in week 1

[orchid fog]

it acts like it closes the game all the way and takes you to the xbox home screen

[slate basin]

dip dive and dash my favourite

[eager forge]

The new boxes are crazy good in comparison to the day 1 xbox ones

[slate basin]

yeah I remember when it faults online, you had to access the app and fully close it

[orchid fog]

im ready to hear someone crying they crashed and someone took all their loot and killed them lol

[plain rover]

Any news about if it will drop when certification comes in?

[slate basin]

was so annoying

[orchid fog]

Xbox and Windows Survivors, the game is still going through the certification process and will not be releasing on Tuesday.

We are expecting it to release it later this week, but, we'll update with a more precise time when we have it.

this is the latest new

[plain rover]

I know that but I mean like what about if it comes in at 8 am will it be out by 9 am?

[orchid fog]

the worst is when you try to reconnect and it says there is already a survior logged in lmao

[plain rover]

I agree

[slate basin]

yep, thats why the close through app thing is so handy

[orchid fog]

Xbox and Windows Survivors, the game is still going through the certification process and will not be releasing on Tuesday.

We are expecting it to release it later this week, but, we'll update with a more precise time when we have it.

Again LATEST new haha

[rancid scaffold]

It could be that their being radio silent because it actually is capable of launching this week and they just want to fix it for us rather than more talk. But that's wishful thinking since its wildcard... Let's see if they prove that wrong

[plain rover]

Ok I get it

[eager forge]

I wish xbox would just let us but it, then when it launches it will auto download

[slate basin]

ASA doesn't seem to do that anymore, anytime you join while still in it force kicks you caus it's never kept me out like ASE did

[eager forge]

Buy*

[orchid fog]

IF it does not launch before Sunday TBH i will just wait...... and be over it haha would be diff if i preordered

[plain rover]

I would like to pre order it

[eager forge]

Same, I want to preorder it

[orchid fog]

but NO preorder option or NO pre install option

[plain rover]

Yep

[slate basin]

is it same price through console as it is on steam?

[manic dew]

how to update dedicated server? Run it on steam and its still 26.11 but in patch notes it must be 26.23

[orchid fog]

i think its gonna be 40-50 range

[plain rover]

I heard 44.99

[eager forge]

That is what I'm mad about tbh. No preorder pre download

[slate basin]

ok so not much different

[rancid scaffold]

I reckon there will be a predownload just not a preorder. When theirs an actual real release date and not a fabricated one like 14th was

[slate basin]

they wont put up preorder until it's cleared to go out I guess

[orchid fog]

Whats going to suck for some people is since NO pre install is when it launches Everyone going to be downloading at same time. and for people like my tribe mate with slower Download speed it will suck

[plain rover]

I will have no issues lol

[orchid fog]

he has 100mb. i have 1GB download speed

[slate basin]

yeah I have 50/20 it was going at like 30 speed 😦

[plain rover]

300mbps

[orchid fog]

so i will be in 1 hr at least sooner then him

[plain rover]

And that's the low end

[orchid fog]

So i will already have my note run done lol and have a PT

[rancid scaffold]

I'm in Thailand with cellular Internet it will take me ages to download it lol

[eager forge]

I'm lucky, my tribe is half xbox half pc formerly xbox players. The pc players are going to go get set up while the xbox players get downloaded

[plain rover]

I have 4 ppl

[slate basin]

im glad I got on steam first, had to get a 4070 to run it well tho

[plain rover]

All gonna hit it hard when it drops

[hazy mantle]

So question for those playing singleplayer; is there a well known crash about the game just giving an error and crashing when you search for things to craft? I've crashed about 3 times in the last 15 minutes

[eager forge]

9 tribemates to start and 18 after the bugs are worked out here

[orchid fog]

see i was scared to get it on steam as i have a 3060ti with 16gb of ram so i heard its not that good on it

[rancid scaffold]

Let's hope it drops Friday, otherwise I feel it will be 30th

[plain rover]

Same

[slate basin]

3060ti is probably a medium setting gpu tbh

[orchid fog]

thats what i heard Medium but still Frame drops

[slate basin]

3070 has 8gb vram so you can use medium proficiently, and high with under 60fps

[grim jackal]

Medium settings still looks great tho

[slate basin]

it does

[orchid fog]

HMMMM maybe buy it on steam play for an hr and see? if bad then refund from steam?

[void nymph]

How is the updating gonna work with crossplay? Lets say a bad patch is released, will steam have to wait days for Xbox cert to update or will Xbox players just be locked out of officials until cert is done

[grim jackal]

Yes that’s a good idea

[rancid scaffold]

What's the actual minimum specs required in your opinions? I don't trust the released spec requirements lol

[orchid fog]

only prob with that is refund takes 5 days and is only back to steam wallet not my paypal

[slate basin]

1080, 2060, 3060 - low-med

2080ti, 3070, 4060 on med-high

[grim jackal]

You can choose to send it back to paypal

[tacit plank]

im bussing

[orchid fog]

but 5 days ughhhh

[rancid scaffold]

U reckon an alienware laptop could run it? 😂 I'm not hopeful.

Might do the steam refund thing to try

[slate basin]

3090/4080 for epic

[grim jackal]

That’s fair but at least u get it back

[covert sky]

hi is the game better optimisation wise at all? last time i played it, it was unplayable with my 3060 and ryzen3 3200 not that it doesnt have enough graphics for my liking but the game just crashed 5 minutes in the world
so can i play it now or still?

[slate basin]

ur cpu is a bit behind, will probably struggle, the 3060 can handle medium

[orchid fog]

@slate basin
MY RIG-
RTX 3060ti
AMD Ryzen 7 5700
16gb ram

[lusty knot]

lol they havent even released a real client side patch in a week. this one today was just an exploit fix

[orchid fog]

5 day refund fyi

[slate basin]

med-high on performance dlss

[ancient badge]

Just try all low settings and type all command to erase cloud, fog, water, etc...

[quick juniper]

They need to add new official servers because there isn’t enough space for everyone atm

[slate basin]

you can try medium in the options (not the preset) caus it varies different things, best stable fps for 6-8gb vram cards

dlss performance helps, balanced is better

[covert sky]

so i can play the game or its probably still the same? because last time the game wouldnt stay in the world for 2 minutes it was crazy

[slate basin]

yeh you can np

ah if it craps out a short time after changing, whilst loaded in the world - probably hitting vram cap

change settings, then join - more stable that way

[abstract sedge]

Anyone still rubber banding even after the update?

[slate basin]

haven't been on yet

[silent matrix]

Try disabling UI transitions, and dlss / nvidia reflex. i crashed until i disabled all 3 of those (4090)

[solar hinge]

oh yaya....TWO server patches....yeah its obvious now

[solemn nebula]

Guys guys I just gone to the bathroom and someone took a 2 in the urinal and some jokester took a dooky in it who did it?

[covert sky]

no no the entire world looks like clay and all pixels

the gtraphics are so low that i cant see anyhthing and im still on 10 fps and then the game crashes

[slate basin]

ah okay, umm...weird, I know there's something that causes that

[covert sky]

is my cpu that low?

[slate basin]

could be

you may have a bottleneck

[silent matrix]

maybe it's trying to use integrated graphics?

[slate basin]

oh god

it needs at least 6gb vram on a dedicated card to even work for low

[covert sky]

how can i make sure? and im not connecting the hdmi to intergrated

[orchid fog]

i have 16gb ram is that a differnt thing?

[covert sky]

my ram is 16

[slate basin]

yes, ram is different, a 3060ti should have 6 or 8gb vram

[orchid fog]

how to check?

[covert sky]

and a 3060 has what?

[slate basin]

check ur task manager, it should show in performance tab

[solemn nebula]

Brahs long story short if your pc is cheap it ain’t gonna run ark

[opal rose]

just put everything low and Pray

[slate basin]

it'll say dedicated gpu memory

[silent matrix]

right click on desktop > display settings > graphics, set ark to high performance

[fading ice]

server and client versions dont walys match. but you update it from library -> download like any normal game

[orchid fog]

Dedicated GPU memory? if so it says 6.5/8.0 GB

[slate basin]

ok has 8gb nice

[covert sky]

mine is 12

[orchid fog]

whats the 6.5/8 mean?

[slate basin]

it's using 6.5, has 8 total

[orchid fog]

im only on discord atm.... why is it at 6.5?

[hushed harbor]

Hey can someone inviteme to the smalls salt discord

[slate basin]

uh I dunno, thats alot

marvils whats ur gpu again sorry, you said 12gb vram?

[orchid fog]

whats Shared GPU memory?>

[slate basin]

shared is through memory, it's not the same, the card itself has a physical capacity of vram and thats the dedicated one

[covert sky]

3060, 12gb ram

[silent matrix]

my nitrado server is still on 26.11, how long until it updates? already restarted it

[opal rose]

ARK: Survival Evolved #announcements
SERVER
— Today at 10:02 PM
Steam LiveOps:

Deployment incoming within the next ten minutes to address the "rubberbanding" introduced in v26.21

(sorry about that yikes)

[slate basin]

ah yes, so try it on low and see if it works better, use dlss performance

[covert sky]

ill have to download the game

[slate basin]

in the rtx tab

[rose tree]

so finally downloaded ark haha after download was hit with error after error my game would just crash

[queen pecan]

And turn off volumetric clouds!

[covert sky]

last time i checked was on game launch

[slate basin]

yes! I love the clouds off, my fps doubled when I was using medium

[covert sky]

ill do so

[opal rose]

Try these

r.volumetricCloud 0 | r.contactShadows 0 | r.shadow.csm.maxcascades 0 | r.volumetricfog 0 | grassenable 0

[slate basin]

thats playdo ascended, but it works great for fps

[orchid fog]

my dumb self has LEague open and steam and a game in the back running lol i closed it all and now says 0.9/8.0

[silent matrix]

even on 4090 i was crashing until i disabled BOTH dlss and nvidia reflex

[slate basin]

if you want a minimal improvement, just volumentic cloud is enough

[covert sky]

i want 40-60 fps

[slate basin]

ah so the 40 series gpu, you need global illum on medium - seems to stop alot of crashes

[covert sky]

well i want 144 but ill settle for 40 to 50 i wont settle for 30

[orchid fog]

yeah if my GPU can not play at 60fps i dont want it lol

[slate basin]

high and epic uses lumen which is the problem

[young heath]

Chat cooldown test.

[quaint olive]

thanks for the update @viral shore, maybe its worth you only pinging us when there is something worth pinging us for in the future, thanks champ

[young heath]

Oh sick, only 15 seconds compared to general. Why don't people talk here?

[rain glacier]

what's with my server browser for unofficial dedicated servers sometimes showing 20 or sometimes showing 99 servers? I know that's not all of them

[winged hamlet]

turn off light shafts

[silent matrix]

i have global illumination on high and no crashes since disabling reflex and dlss

[queen pecan]

I'm not even getting 144 on a 3090, 5900x, 32gb of ram brother. Maybe if I played at 1080p but I don't go lower than 1440p

[slate basin]

you can have reflex and dlss on, with global illum on med, works better

frame generation aswell

[silent matrix]

i'll try

[slate basin]

the extra lighting won't just crash you, it'll destroy ur gpu slowly

[fluid steppe]

Everytime i see the patchnotes i only read improve server bla bla bla i think the devs give a shit about singleplayer instead the keep sucking nitrado balls🥲

[dusty orchid]

I love balls

[slate basin]

if servers are getting improvements, it impacts singleplayer too

only thing seperated is latency, rubberbanding, etc

[noble ruin]

[slate basin]

gotta catch em all dinomon!

well, I hope I helped some of ya's

[covert sky]

i know i know but im saying i would love it if i get 144 but i would be fine if it was 60 to 40 fps

[rose tree]

so how u fix the fetal errors

[solar hinge]

YOU CANT.....

[slate basin]

60 is the ideal fps at this point, you need low with a 4090 to go past 100 lol

oh and increase ur fps cap from 60, kinda helps, I use 100

[main stump]

Stop alt tabing when joining the server 👌🏼 thats an instant fatal error 🫡

[silent matrix]

what are good brightness/ hdr settings? default is mid 40 max 42, doesnt seem very much range

[slate basin]

haven't really used, I play on regular screen, I can only say dlss performance/balanced might support better fps with HDR settings

[silent matrix]

trying 18 mid / 40 max now, i'll see how it does

not as blindingly bright

[main stump]

I just left it at default 4k and high settings. HDR on

[wooden tendon]

Bruh

[main stump]

Bruh

[orchid fog]

UPDATE FOR XBOX- release 2024 and ark 2 postponed till 2026 lmaoooooooo

@slate basin are you playing right now?

[main stump]

Get a pc

[slate basin]

nope

[orchid fog]

got one haha just only a 3060ti tho

[slate basin]

im watching stream, where they're literally playing with settings lol

[orchid fog]

dang wanted you to play and Screenshare so i could see some things lol

[silent matrix]

keybinds say attack my target is equals, but that makes them aggressive instead of neutral

[slate basin]

i would love to at some point but im tired atm

[main stump]

Ark 2 is gonna burn your xbox down 🤪

[silent matrix]

any way to keep them neutral and only attack my target?

[atomic torrent]

Ark 2 looks like it’ll be Far Cry: Primal with dinosaurs and marginally better graphics

[orchid fog]

ARK 2 gonna be a Backwards game IMO settings easier to run then ASA

[sand plinth]

Can I tame a dino that is knocked by another tribe

[orchid fog]

no

ANYONE playing RIGHT NOW?

[main stump]

Nope in bed gonna sleep

[orchid fog]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[fresh sparrow]

more rubber banding then before lol

[slate basin]

well it might be cause the actual update hasn't applied, we still on 26.11 right?

[silent matrix]

I hope Ark didn't forget about us playstation. players

[main stump]

Unofficial yes

[main stump]

They are waiting on cert to be approved

[silent matrix]

Oh ok

[queen pecan]

Yeah they keep frying consoles in cert you know how it is

[silent matrix]

There's no rush

[spiral coral]

Then cert will be approved then it won't then it will . 😆

[silent matrix]

Take ur time Ark devs

[queen pecan]

Pour one out for all the consoles lost

[main stump]

ASA for Nintendo switch 🫡

[silent matrix]

One day probably

[slate basin]

we all good in the hood? just hangin for a few days to see if the update drops

I'll be back once something happens

[silent matrix]

I'll join u

[fathom quail]

are ark servers down

[slate basin]

updating I believe

[fathom quail]

oh ok when will they be up

and i dont mean asa

[plain rover]

I thought ark servers where gone

Official ones atleast

[fathom quail]

my brother told me same thing

im too lazy to check

there gone):

[woeful glade]

Official ASE servers are gone for good

[fathom quail]

ase?

[fathom quail]

u mean ark?

[shrewd agate]

Death threats to the devs? Seriously some of you should seek professional help with your personal issues. You should be ashamed.

[safe crown]

what💀

[woeful glade]

Ark: Survival Evolved, is no longer the current game. It has been remastered as “Ark: Survival Ascended”

It’s two seperate games. Official servers for old game are no longer supported

[orchid fog]

Anyone playing ASA right now?

[valid pollen]

❗️ Wildcard, it's a shame. limit the distance to 200m in non-dedicated mode to force players to rent a server... bad publicity ❗️
INCREASE DISTANCE

[orchid fog]

they did it because they have a contract with nitrado

[hybrid orchid]

jesus do u guys have rubber banding while moving? I keep seeing my char moving back and forth when i run

[amber cedar]

Hooo boy am I seriously loving the Upgrade Station mod
Now I can finally get my hands on riot gear of higher quality than primitive and enhance my mastercraft pump shotgun, and so much more!

[dry moat]

@heavy cedar there’s a glitch we’re if you hop off an anky you get torped infinitely until you relog

Unless my game is just fcked

[rustic kraken]

whats the fix for getting stuck at %2 installing? its certainly not restarting steam since that made me patch the game for 9 hours on ssd last time

[unborn whale]

anyone else have same issue as ase where it just seems to install game again and the harddrive just gets full over all the updates like its supposed to update files i thought not just put in new ones every time

[boreal surge]

Still no announcement for Xbox release

Day 1 of wc delaying asa for Xbox🙄

[rose nest]

server updates not working on steam. my server is on 26.11 and not updating

[wheat swan]

If you want to host enough servers to capture everyone's needs you need 1728 servers. This includes all 12 maps

[weary mist]

Didn't ASE also have a tether?

[wheat swan]

Yes

[autumn jolt]

I want the game too, but I would rather have a game released that’s gonna work rather than a glitchy one that needs to be patched as many times as it has on steam. I’m sure @heavy cedar and all of wild card is doing their best. I would not want to be the one who has to deal with all the people who are waiting and fix the game and try to get it on console too. Just saying 🤷‍♀️

[wheat swan]

It's going to be glitchy, PC players get rollbacks and crashes so the time especially on servers and especially on officials

[rose nest]

yes and there is a lot of bugs and now self hosted servers are not getting the updates

[hallow ivy]

Sadly I bet it’s gonna have to be patched as many times as you fear and more XD

[unborn whale]

ah lovely also stuck at 2%

[autumn jolt]

Of course it’s gonna be glitchy, how can you know what to fix if you don’t let people play. I’m just saying I’m happy they are working hard. And sucks to wait but what can ya do?

[sturdy hornet]

guys i have a question, is there a way i can build near drops in singleplayer?, i can't finish my hause

[wheat swan]

It'll be at least 3 years after all maps are added til all these issues are fixed if they ever get fixed I'm a little disappointed even small bugs are still in the game like reloading glitch and firing guns underwater rapidly. But also the really bad ones they advertised asa as not having are in game like meshing and meshing is even easier to do

[quiet sparrow]

why cant i get my harvesting multiplier to go above x10 in singleplayer?

[sinful adder]

Anyone know why the servers are a week behind on updates?

[tranquil rover]

@heavy cedar Please fix the singleplayer no respawn bug for trees etc

[wheat swan]

Speaking of meshing people are putting turrets upside down under foundations to protect against meshers these turrets will never hit anyone above the ground only people literally cheating... Wildcard is banning people who protect themselves there just awful and awkward if I played officials PVP I'd be mad

[tranquil rover]

You have reached maxium peasant mode :L

[quiet sparrow]

damn

[pure yacht]

First off I just want to say thank you @viral shore @heavy cedar for keeping us apprised of patches, updates and bug fixes. It’s a huge help. You are freakin rockstars. And to everyone else at Studio Wildcard. Thank you for working so hard to get us this game. I know the path Ark is on now is not what you may have intended but what we have is beautiful. Despite a small handful of issues, the game is running splendidly for me. And ya'll are fixing these issues as the days go by. Making a game (Especially one of this scale) is not easy. And you can only do the best you can with what Papa Snail allows you in resources. I am sorry the community is being so toxic and disrespectful. A few weeks delay is not a good excuse for death threats. This game is beautiful. You are all beautiful. And I look forward to everything that comes next. Keep up the good work.

[autumn jolt]

I Agree Completely! Well said! Death threats are so not ok

[prime zodiac]

Any good news or just news about xbox release ?

[orchid fog]

i don't feel anyone should be making death threats! but i understand the anger. its not just another delay... its been YEARS of crap like this from wildcard. this is NOTHING new. and they haven't changed. they are very bad with comms

NO company should delay the game with less then 24hrs for launch

[quiet sparrow]

is there a way to increase crafting skill multiplier in singleplayer?

[pure yacht]

theyre doing their best to communicate right now and all they are getting is death threats. I dont blame wildcard for any of this. Snail games is the true villain of this story. Wildcard is just stuck in the crosshairs.

[orchid fog]

im talking from the 8 years of ASE also this is nothing new i wouldnt put it past them for it to take another 3 months before console got it

[limpid hatch]

Just means another 3months of ase yay

[orchid fog]

YAY? they Removed Official server! whats YAY about that? thats all i play...

the second Official servers left i havent touched ASE and wont

[pure yacht]

with how crappy games have been the past few years delays are a good thing.

[orchid fog]

ID rather they waited another year! that good but dont delay 24hr before...

[limpid hatch]

Boosted just go have fun there lol

[orchid fog]

and mainly when steam already has it

[pure yacht]

yeah but thats snails fault that the game HAD to be released when it did.

[orchid fog]

they needed to HOLD all back if all was not ready.

[pure yacht]

i think we can all agree the Snail games is not the type to hold back doing things that they shouldnt.

[orchid fog]

they had 0 intentions to release it.... which is why it was not up for preorder or a actual date was released. they dropped it late at night for steam and was like F you console like they have for 8 years

[pure yacht]

again snails fault. not wildcard.

[orchid fog]

your saying all 8 years has been snails fault?

[wheat swan]

You can't preorder early access games anymore

[pure yacht]

as long as snail has been involved yes.

[orchid fog]

just because snail got involved doesnt mean Wildcard is off the hook LMAO they had So many issues before snail... nothing has changed

Wildcard Has failed the community

[wheat swan]

Xbox is holding the cert process it's out of wildcards hands

[orchid fog]

I haven't and will never pay for a product with wildcards name on it

[pure yacht]

well what im seeing now is them trying. stop living in the past homie.

[orchid fog]

this time maybe but not all issues over last 8 years is that reason lol

[wheat swan]

You should have learned 7 years ago; I did I expected this. But I have thousands of hours in ark... Imo it's worth the wait

[orchid fog]

i have learned if they ever tell you something or a timeline its wrong add 6month to a year to it

[light venture]

Hello

[wheat swan]

Yep

[light venture]

Hello

[pure yacht]

Wildcard is not a triple A company dude. Its an indie developer. We gotta stop treating this like its a botched call of duty release. the game is out and it is mostly stable. get a pc or shut up and wait for console. simple as that.

[wheat swan]

They are AAA

[olive vapor]

I recently switched from PS4 to PC, and I jumped the gun buying Ark: Survival Evolved on Epic Games. Turns out, no mods there! Is there any way that i can join my friend's modded pve server?

[high agate]

Seems like wildcard is trying their best and I applaud them for that

[orchid fog]

i have a PC but refuse to buy the game i only play on xbox with my best friend. which Gameshares the game so i dont have to spend money for this DEV

[pure yacht]

then you have no right to complain about anything.

[orchid fog]

i do. the reason i wont buy the game is they disappoint the community

[waxen shale]

Is it out on Xbox yet?

[orchid fog]

and xbox will just release the game for free like they did with ASE lol

[waxen shale]

Is it game pass?

[orchid fog]

no. but will in the future down the road

[waxen shale]

K thanks

[wheat swan]

Speculation this isn't stated anywhere nor would it be stated

[orchid fog]

i would bet my house and car on it lol it will

[wheat swan]

Just don't state it was a fact when it's not yet

[orchid fog]

never said it was from xbox's mouth my dude

[high agate]

It's probably not gonna be until it's out of early access and a few months have passed

[orchid fog]

correct ASE did not go on GP till 8months after Early access

[wheat swan]

When you say will be in the future you are spreading false information based on speculation based on ark survival evolved

You should look up the definitions of what I just said are. And next time use appropriate wording

[weary mist]

No no. They are sharing an opinion. Get off your high horse mate xD

[wheat swan]

An opinion that was stated as a fact

[high agate]

True he said it will be released, but it was probably just an honest mistake so I mean cmon

[weary mist]

No it wasn't, stating it will be in the future is still an opinion.

If they had stated a source to back it up, that would have been stating as a fact.

[wheat swan]

"will be" is a fact it's not an opinion

There's enough misinformation going on as is

[orchid fog]

So me saying i WIll be downlaoding a game is a fact? NO...

[high agate]

.

[weary mist]

People need to learn to chill lol.

Absolutely no reason to be so petty against the guy other than to boost your own ego.

No its not.

" The human race will be extinct in 1000 years."

Is that stating a fact? Not really, I'm could easily still just be stating my opinion

[orchid fog]

more like WILL be extinct before ark 2 releases lmaoooo SO is that a fact?

[wheat swan]

Actually yes. The fact is you are downloading a game in the future

[orchid fog]

i can tell someone i WILL be downloading a game. doesnt me i am or will...

[wheat swan]

I'd stay in school and learn the difference between fact and opinion you two lol

[pearl berry]

What this "rubberbanding" feature means?
I know the elastic material called rubberband, but what this means in terms of server?
Explain to a non-native speaker please

Also about you are trying to remove high latency players... so South America can still connect to NA server with no problems right? RIGHT ?
Check the threshold to allow us from LA on NA or make some LA servers instead.

About low end devices, instead of poorly optimizing, kicking, removing or banning people for removing stupid clouds or fog (that are pretty but heavy for mid and low-end devices) please put an option to remove that pretty but "useless" things even if the games looks like ase.

The ini can give some unfair advantage to pvp but removing the ability to player use that ones that not gives them any advantage but a way to play between 20~30 fps seens greed

[high agate]

I thought you were stating that it will be in game pass later down the road as you replied to the guy asking that, my bad

[orchid fog]

stay in school? im a nurse PAL i think im done with school lmao

[strange yoke]

I know plenty of dumb nurses

[wheat swan]

To help... I believe would be more appropriate or I like bananas is another example of an opinion stating something will happen later is stating it was a fact

[orchid fog]

never said nurses were smart either lmao just stating im done with school lmao

[compact blade]

17 minutes left

[orchid fog]

Hazel is just a troll and wants to work people up lmaooo

[orchid fog]

for?

[weary mist]

I will regretfully have to decline. Your inability to understand Rexx and the difference between facts and opinions is not my problem nor is it cause for me to be re-educated.

I will however be naming a dodo after you in honour of this 'delightful' interaction.

[high agate]

Till wut

[wheat swan]

No I'm actually not just trying to help you two try to understand what is a fact and what is an opinion

Basic English

[orchid fog]

Opinion – Opinions are useful to persuade, but careful readers and listeners will notice and demand evidence to back them up.

[weary mist]

Well I'm English. Born and bred, college educated twice over and know my own language.

I'm also bored at work which is why I'm entertaining this 😂

[orchid fog]

So i have no Evidence.... so not a fact lmaooo

[weary mist]

And we also did not ask for your assistance in understanding lol

[orchid fog]

is it bad i pray his Army of dodos are getting eaten by a rex right now?

because this person seems like thats all they can tame...

[weary mist]

Nah, Pegomastix. They can't come up with original ways to troll so they have to steal everyone else's hard work xD

[orchid fog]

this right here💯

i hope they are getting door camped by a raptor...

[wheat swan]

@orchid fog An opinion, in essence, constitutes a subjective expression or belief rooted in personal interpretation, speculation, or individual perspective. When considering the scenario of asserting a game's inclusion in Xbox Game Pass without official confirmation, the choice of the statement "it will be in Xbox Game Pass" can be inherently misleading. This is due to the implication of a high degree of certainty, even though the assertion is grounded in personal speculation rather than factual evidence. Such misleading assertions have the potential to foster unwarranted expectations, possibly leading to misconceptions or disappointment among those relying on accurate information regarding the availability of games on the platform. It underscores the importance of discerning between speculative opinions and verifiable facts to avoid inadvertent misinformation.

[quiet furnace]

anyone else cant pick up fish?

[pearl berry]

For God sake
Opinion is your way to see the things

FACT is immutable, no matter what you thing about...

Now PLEASE
Sum1 can explain me what da heck that rubber band "feature" means? For a non-native speaker

I don't have servers in my continent
And I don't have a high end device

I'm worried about losing access to the game due to these stupid updates

And please don't act like kid, unless you are

[quiet furnace]

lagging hard

[earnest roost]

It’s when you keep stuttering back to the same place
