[honest fiber]

Unreal waittime 5.5, i hope it comes out today.

[heady spoke]

i hope it come out one day*

[honest fiber]

Real

I have hope

[cunning moss]

I always wonder why can’t all this be done before the release planner release date. Of the update

[fading ice]

it was probably started a week+ ago. sometimes cert pops up unexpected issues, that is what it is for, after all. or the ball is just dropped and lost somewhere and has to be prodded to continue

particularly long cert times can be up to two weeks

[golden orchid]

You want someone to review and test the code before the code is actually written?

[thorny zinc]

they kind of botched the release date at a minimum

[frosty wind]

whats the vegas odds of the release in the next 2 hrs

[fading ice]

no

[golden orchid]

Absolutely zero since they already announced that it was delayed to Wednesday and that's 20 hours away

[uncut lake]

What time is the new release time/date for the update. Please use UK time.

[fluid edge]

Just says Wednesday night pst

No time yet

9 am PST is 5 pm in London
10 am PST is 6 pm in London
11 am PST is 7 pm in London

Rough convert of pst to gmt

If it’s evening pst then U.K. won’t get till next day

[steel musk]

so like i used admin commands to kill all the wild creatures cuz there were like zero rexes spawning and their are creatures here and there but it’s really empty is there a way to speed up the spawning or do i gotta thug it out

[fluid edge]

Should take bout few mins to fully repopulate map

Depends on map

So using
Cheat destroywilddinos

The whole process shouldn’t take more then few mins to fully
Repopulate

Abs takes longer given the maps complexity

[steel abyss]

what strats are the best and cheapest to KILL the desert titan ( i wanna unlock tekgrams but i havent ever done it )
and taming doesnt unlock the tekgrams i hear
i have dinos like a 269 giga , a 137 quetzal , a 250 tek rex , a 172 rex , 2 spinos , and some snow owls
and some managarmrs

[fluid edge]

Quetz with asc saddle as the whole electric bird attack it does , doesn’t affect the tame

If we’re on bout the flying Titan

[sturdy heath]

Sounds like your gonna struggle to kill it

[fluid edge]

Last time I did it was with two quetz me and a tribe mate then a bunch of high level (and high hp) wyverns

That was on ase though so unsure if asa be same

[steel musk]

thanks a bunch i’m on the island and they’re starting to come back

[fluid edge]

No worries

[elfin elm]

Can someone help me figure out why my scissors are not gathering human hair?

[steel abyss]

xeno so what dinos do i need

if i wanna kill the desert titan

i need my tek grams 😭

my tribe is struggling so much my cousin wants to pay people to carry him

we are in a great depression

[elfin elm]

What I normally use is just a Mek loaded up with element and a seige cannon to make it quicker. Super mobile and super powerful. If you keep your distance, the titan has a hard time touching you

[steel abyss]

cant do that

i have 0 tekgrams unlocked

so i cant get a mech

[elfin elm]

Not even the replicator?

[steel abyss]

nah

ive never beaten a boss

[elfin elm]

Hmmm... Then Id say... quetzalcoatlus with a platform with a cannon onboard. Maybe also a few velonsaurs to shoot down the flocks for you on the platform

[steel abyss]

with the giga?

[elfin elm]

Giga cant do much to a Desert Titan

[steel abyss]

oh i hear that people use gigas on the quetzal to attack the desert titan

[elfin elm]

Guess that could work. But I dont do that often

Keep your quetzal close but constantly on the move and have someone on flock-shooting duty

Last thing you want is your Giga getting enraged by the flock

[steel abyss]

i thought it wasnt good to kill the flock because the desert titan just spawns more

[elfin elm]

Its better to kill the flocks over and over and over than to let your Giga get battered by them and then get enraged by them

If the Giga gets enraged, your quetzal is good as dead

[steel abyss]

oh

i have over 500 hours on ark survival ascended and havent beaten a boss not once

i have a ton of ratholes with turrets but they keep getting raided

idk what im doing wrong

[elfin elm]

Which is why I dont play pvp lol

[steel abyss]

ig

pve is bad though because of the rates

[elfin elm]

Thats true. I normally do singleplayer

[steel abyss]

and plus

[elfin elm]

I can do whatever modded I want

[steel abyss]

the later in the game you get the more you realise its impossible

on some maps all caves would have turrets in it like the center

i dont even know why they made that a feature

[elfin elm]

I mean, throw enough grenades at the turret and its bound to get destroyed eventually

Then you can steal the ammo that was in it

[steel abyss]

they were on the ceiling

and they were tek turrets

i have 10k+ element shards but no tek turrets to put them in

[elfin elm]

Arthropleura Acid spit should do the trick

But I also need help myself. My scissors arent working to get human hair

[steel abyss]

i thought you use them to just change your haircut

[surreal crow]

:o

[steel abyss]

i didnt think they gave a hair item

[elfin elm]

Okay so then Im doing it wrong

How do I get human hair?

[steel abyss]

it says scissors

you gotta give yourself a haircut

[elfin elm]

ASE is scissors but how do you get it in ASA?

[steel abyss]

idk

[elfin elm]

I am trynna get pelt but its taking forever

[steel abyss]

yeah

what map are you on?

[elfin elm]

Island

[steel abyss]

oh

[elfin elm]

I only get 2 pelt from a direwolf and 5 from a whole mammoth. I need like 145 to get a full fur armor set

[steel abyss]

are you using a metal hatchet to gather it?

[fleet epoch]

Hatchet for hide or use a chainsaw

[elfin elm]

T-rex. Its unsafe to dismount to harvest it. I seem to always get jumped as soon as I do

[cinder tree]

What time is update

[frosty wind]

now

[cinder tree]

Oh okay bet

[unborn oak]

We get the release date for the next delay tomorrow

[twilit void]

got a feeling part of the reason for the delay is removing new commands to disable certain things. (similar to asa launch when water/trees could be disabled).. and if so, better now than on a live server

[elfin elm]

Since when were the beavers naturally aggressive?

I was taming a high level Thyla and like midway through the tame, a group of 3 beavers came out of the nearby river, murdered the thyla, and then turned and tried to murder my Tapejara

[willow forum]

they probably didnt like you

[elfin elm]

The thyla, nor my Tapejara, did nothing to them

[alpine basin]

What good unofficial pvp servers are there?

[twilit void]

sounds like someone trolling you with pheromone darts, 1 in the thyla and 1 in the tapejara

(those darts have a similar effect as eating a rare flower)

[elfin elm]

Im in singleplayer tho

[twilit void]

singleplayer as in local game? if so, did you by any chance clear a beaverdam or kill a beaver near that loc on your previous play?
(because time stops when you quit your local game, the beavers may have still been aggressive about that after loading up your save)
just guesswork, but in theory it's possible.

[ember nymph]

Question about 5.5, will other maps get any benefit if they aren’t made on 5.5?

[twilit void]

i think that depends heavily on how 5.5 gets implemented. at this time it's all a matter of hope ^^

[timber vigil]

It should benefit every map

Im personally not getting my hopes up, maybe a couple extra fps

[regal fjord]

Other games have around 30% fps boost from 5.0 to 5.5

[timber vigil]

I wanna believe, but i also dont want to be disappointed

Also arent we on 5.2 or something?

[heady spoke]

yeah but even if the fps are still the same (if not worst) the game will be graphically better right ?

[grand phoenix]

I hope I don’t crash 24/7

🙏

I came back after a year and it was still the same

hope 5.5 helps

[twilit void]

i expect rag to look waaay better than other maps as the original builders are working on it and they actually know what the engine can do (and they like to get to the limit)
For the existing maps i expect maybe some new cloud rendering at best.
but overall i expect unoptimized 5.5 implementations that take time to fix. (hope i'm wrong)

[visual comet]

My friend joined a game with me non dedicated,he left and wanted to rejoin and now everyrhing is reset why

[regal fjord]

Its more of a performance upgrade than graphic

[grizzled plank]

5.0-5.2 is the dark age of UE

5.3 and onwards is much better

[balmy dust]

still no update?

[cunning kernel]

#announcements

[balmy dust]

lol

[smoky urchin]

looks like im done with ascended at least for the next thre months because they cant deal with with a release date on time

[heady spoke]

oh mb i though it was 50/50

[heady spoke]

yeah if that’s true rag be really incredible but i mean about texture because mine don’t load if i don’t put in epic sadly so i hope this to get fixed too

[hardy current]

Lumen and rendering gonna change and a lot stuff gonna change so its both performance and graphic upgrade

[hardy current]

Put textures on epic it dosent take fps u need to have enough vram

[unborn oak]

It's a whole new game engine so yeah it'll affect everything

Knowing my luck I'll get a 80% fps decrease

[heady spoke]

it does bruh my fps are super low in epic but yeah i have only 6go vram im on laptop

[hardy current]

6go vram isnt enough to put texture on epic i guess

[heady spoke]

it load but fps kinda leave the game lol

[hardy current]

Yeah because u dont have enough vram

[heady spoke]

but on other setting it just doesn’t load

it look like ark mobile 2 years ago

[grizzled plank]

Even low though lol

[hardy current]

Do u use msi

[daring fjord]

Is this update gonna help with the constant crashing on console

[hardy current]

How much vram used

[daring fjord]

I crash minimum 20 times a day.

[grizzled plank]

Yeah, minimum settings and VRAM usage at 8GB is what i see

[daring fjord]

I haven’t touched this game since it dropped till the other day an it’s still just as bad

Crashing never got fixed still looks like absolute dog shit. Wild card is the biggest joke of developers iv ever delt with. A from YouTube the cheating meshing an other exploits are worse then when ase was earlier into the beginning. An that shit was bad

[digital jewel]

Is there gonna be a change for world loss on console?

[daring fjord]

Probably not. It’s wild card

[digital jewel]

True

[grizzled plank]

Lemme guess, you play on the series S

[daring fjord]

X

Bozo

[grizzled plank]

Okay, not that bad

[grizzled plank]

And I haven't crashed in weeks

[daring fjord]

I crash everyday

All day

[heavy flume]

Same bro I’ve been playing this game since day one and haven’t crash once

[daring fjord]

You’re pc

[heavy flume]

Na I only run my server on pc I play off my console

[daring fjord]

Then I call cap on never crashing once

[grizzled plank]

I am pc

[heavy flume]

I’ve play official PvP and pve and no crashes

[daring fjord]

Still calling cap. Unless you live in small huts

[grizzled plank]

A low end PC from 2021

[heavy flume]

Skill issue

[daring fjord]

You probably live in a 2x1 with 3 Dino’s outside.

[heavy flume]

Just turn off fog and cloud and light reflection bozo

[daring fjord]

I do bozo

[heavy flume]

McDonald’s Wi-Fi pov

[grizzled plank]

As if base size and number of dinos even mattered

[daring fjord]

Fiber optic is McDonald’s WiFi?

[tame meteor]

Hello

[daring fjord]

It does are you stupid

It made a difference in ase too tf. You clearly never experienced a fat base

[grizzled plank]

🪞

[daring fjord]

Pve bobs

[grizzled plank]

I've had big bases
Did they ever matter to performance ? No.
Cuz that's not how it works ( to a point anyway)

[daring fjord]

Yea you washed

1 cave built isn’t fat.

[grizzled plank]

[heavy flume]

Bro has never turned off Dino names before

[daring fjord]

First thing I do when I log but go off

[heavy flume]

Little bro luvs getting rage baited

[daring fjord]

Coming from the 2 hard riding the devs sticks

[heavy flume]

Bro it’s not the dev

[daring fjord]

Bye bozos

[heavy flume]

It’s the pos publisher

Snail tried making electric car company off that ark money and nearly went bankrupt

[frigid narwhal]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[heavy flume]

Blame snail not the devs

[obtuse fable]

Update is up guys?

[thorny mirage]

How do you turn off light reflection?

[thorny mirage]

Not until tonight, California time, according to ARK website.

[river thunder]

The UE 5.5 drops tonight, PST. Assuming no more delays. But we won't know until they tell us more 🤷🏼‍♀️

[daring fjord]

Y’all being extra nice thinking the update actually gonna hit tonight

[thorny mirage]

The mobile version is already out and ppl be playing the whole anniversary stuff now. While we're sitting here patiently waiting like good little gamers.. Ugh.

But mobile probably doesn't run on UE 5.5.

How long does it take ARK to implement a new UE? Long enough for the next version to come out, lol. UE5.6 is out now, promising better player standards, smoother gaming, 60 something across the board.

[ember nymph]

@unborn oak only thing is they said rag will be much better because it’s built on the 5.5 unlike the others that they might revisit to make said maps on the new version. Just sounds like older maps won’t be taking the full benefit of 5.5 unlike rag

[unborn oak]

Sounds like rag will have worse performance than the rest of the maps lol

[latent geyser]

Can someone do a channel link to general for me? No matter what I do i can't see it in my list and I've followed all channels.

[unborn oak]

#general Did you change any reaction roles recently

[rich gate]

Any time updates for Armageddon?

[latent geyser]

Nah not that I know of.
Appreciate ya.@unborn oak

[unborn oak]

Click channels and roles, click browse channels, manually select everything

[latent geyser]

Yeah had done all that. Once I got into general it came back. Must been having a moment.
Thanks heaps.

[dense bone]

When does the update come out?

[dire briar]

if ur eu its tmrw if ur na its today

[latent geyser]

Late pst

[elder dock]

Probably 07:00 BST June 5th

[desert seal]

June 3, 2025
Unreal Engine 5.6 is now available.

LOL

[elder dock]

Better previous version less bugs etc

[west sparrow]

Oh, I would find it funny now: "We're postponing the whole Update and adapting to 5.6 now - thanks for your patience" 😉

[timber ivy]

😂

[smoky brook]

Heyy i was searching anyone that can sell to me o gift it to me the artifacts for the center boss in gamma version i have the otrms to do it only need the artifacts

[winter bluff]

It will be this weekend so we have to live with bugs all weekend while they are relaxing 😎

[winter bluff]

Why not earn them?

[grim coral]

Go do club ark and get the artifacts if you cant get them yourself for some reason. You obviously have tames for boss so cave running shouldnt be difficult

[winter bluff]

Exactly

[foggy imp]

If they’re on official pvp, I’d imagine the artifact caves are inhabited

[wintry fox]

so you go to them, and they kill you and loot your stuff and the artifacts, yeah nice 😉

[foggy imp]

Right lol; if you’re capable of running the artifact caves with boss tames and gear, it’s more than just the cave critters that would be stopping you

[wintry fox]

never underestimate the lazyness of ppl

[ancient furnace]

when ragnarok?

[sage cargo]

So now we wait to see if it releases today or if we get another delay.

[grizzled plank]

❓

[magic idol]

So ready for Ragnarok🥳🥳

[sage cargo]

@grizzled plank what the person is trying to say is the company that makes the unreal engine that game developers use just released unreal engine 5.6 today and is saying with how wildcard is going they will abandon the 5.5 update to work on 5.6 instead.

[errant leaf]

Prediction, at about 6pm PST tonight, we’ll get another ping about how UE update is delayed again.

[sage cargo]

I can believe that

[smoky brook]

Almost all server on small have the caves taken

[smoky brook]

Club ark is from bob tall tales right??

[full axle]

No - it is a map anyone can join.

[sage cargo]

@smoky brook it's a mod map so if you're on PlayStation and love to use mods I don't recommend it

[grand crag]

The did open up cooking mods, so a small ember of hope.

[full axle]

No - it is a Wildcard map @smoky brook

[sage cargo]

@full axle yes but it's not a dlc map it downloads off of the mod store

[full axle]

Yes - that is currently correct. Not sure if they plan to switch it to a DLC since a lot of the maps are moving to DLC once the release happens that is planned tonight.

But I believe MEsa is playing on official PVP from the previous comments.

[sage cargo]

@full axle it's not. On PlayStation the maps have already set up for dlc you can see them on the PlayStation store already you just can't download them. Unfortunately club ark didn't get the same treatment

[full axle]

It is a fairly small map/mod - but yes if playing single player/servers with a lot of mods better to do without. But if playing on official with little to no mods might be worth a shot for PS5 players.

[sage cargo]

@full axle even if playing unofficial with others if you're a PlayStation player it's not really worth it. That 10 gig mod limit is horrible and if you're on a modded cluster that is heavy on mods it makes playing a nightmare.

[full axle]

Yeah - notice I said official PVP 🙂

@sage cargo we have a PS5 player in the cluster I run - we keep the mods very small and low in number. They can do Club Ark if they want.

[sage cargo]

@full axle yeah I noticed that but I'm part of a modded cluster. I joined not mowing wildcard was going to keep delaying the mod storage increase for PlayStation. We was supposed to get it with the 5.5 update but I see nothing about it in the notes so it looks like they are continuing to withhold it even longer now.

[wintry fox]

that's not wildcard, that is playstation that is limiting that

[grizzled plank]

BTW, why is there a limit to that in the first place ?

[full axle]

Ask Sony 🙂

[wintry fox]

ehhhhhh, no idea, i'm not playing any console

[full axle]

Yes Sony needs to fix that.

[grizzled plank]

good idea
SONY !! WHY ???

[sage cargo]

@wintry fox wildcard is at fault as well. They promised it and last year they even stated it would come in the 5.5 update when it was going to drop in August. Now they quietly removed it and haven't given an update. Don't promise something you can't deliver

[grizzled plank]

fair enough

fun fact, i've never played on a console : )

like ever

[full axle]

I expect it still being Sony side. But it is annoying.

Another reason I never got into consoles since the Game Cube. But always have played on PC.

[wintry fox]

no idea on that, not a console player, so not remembering those kind of things. but sony has to increase it, best wildcard can do as far as i know is ask them

[coarse vector]

Certs are often delayed by Sony because they're picky or they sit on them forever. Updates have to be just so, which is why a lot of online games don't port to Playstation.

But continually getting peoples' hopes up then delaying them is frustrating to say the least.

[smoky brook]

So where i can get the artifacts

[cursive vapor]

You earn points and there are 2 spinning wheels you can earn artifacts from in the casino

It's random and not guaranteed so not efficient, best bet is to take a good cave running tame and just clear the caves

[static geyser]

When does the update release?

[normal raven]

Can 2 high level megalodons kill an alpha tuso? lvl 207 megalodons

[cursive vapor]

Tamed or imprinted? And more important, prim saddle or capped saddle,

[wintry fox]

depends a bit on the saddle

[normal raven]

Prim saddle

[normal raven]

Just tamed with prim saddle

[cursive vapor]

Absolutely not

[normal raven]

What if we go in, me and my friend

Do bleed damage and swim away

So it passively loses hp

[cursive vapor]

You would be lucky to get it to half health. Tusos will grab your tame and hold/damage it

[unborn oak]

When console gets certification

[smoky brook]

Thats why im trying to get someone that can help me on this

[unborn oak]

I think

[cursive vapor]

Maybe if you had someone go in on a high HP turtle with a decent saddle you could pull it off, but don't underestimate an alpha large creature. Even if it's low level

I ran from an alpha mosa on a tamed 270 tuso before lol

[untold scroll]

they stil didn't get it?

[cursive vapor]

Just keep an eye on #announcements

[dusky sundial]

why does my game keep crashing lmao, any settings I have to check?

[grizzled plank]

which game and what specs

[full axle]

Targeting Wednesday night means we will find out if they were able to get it certified soon.

[polar crater]

If I was them I wouldn't say anything about upcoming DLCs or updates and when they have them ready to deploy they give a day heads up. It would save lots of bickering

[dusky sundial]

ASA single player, Specs: I9 13900K, 4090, .. not sure what the issue is

[grizzled plank]

could be a CPU problem
or even an NVIDIA driver bug

read this : #bobs-with-probs message

and try that

[dusky sundial]

Aight thanks

[quartz saddle]

im having trouble getting dragon kingdom and owlgriffins to spawn on astreos any suggestions?

[cunning moss]

Fair Point

[void barn]

The ue5 update is meant to be for today right?

or is it tomorrow?

[wintry fox]

in between today and tomorrow

[molten sky]

Does anyone know why my beaver wont auto harvest trees?

[wintry fox]

because they never got that tlc?

[nova tiger]

does 5.5 release yet ? or delay ?

[olive halo]

In asa u need to be in render

[barren coyote]

probably an weight issue, cant remember the correct % but i think if the weight is over 70% its stops auto harvest

[molten sky]

Nothing in the inventory and auto harvest is on

[barren coyote]

hmm tried multiple beavers?

[molten sky]

no, I can try

[barren coyote]

maybe you got an broken one

or something wrong with server or settings

[granite lichen]

#announcements

[molten sky]

Ankylo and deo can do it so idk

[thin nacelle]

No news since 8 am yesterday haha love this company

[atomic hollow]

Be prepared for another delay

[barren coyote]

i do remember i had issues with them before, they couldn't detect the trees to start harvesting, so had to position it weirdly and it dident work with all trees

[naive maple]

And when people ask the mods just put announcements lol

That outdated new fella

[fluid edge]

Dunno bout that map as don’t use it however

We had to do a wild wipe and they spawned

I am unsure if they have a fixed spawn on that map or have to be manually put in via game.ini

[hardy current]

Anyone know a clean glass custom cosmetic mod

[mossy saddle]

There is one from WC called clear glass (sample) we use it a lot

[uneven crescent]

Yeah, it's a tad bit disappointing tbh. But what's really frustrating is the fact you can't easily roll back games nowadays. At this point postponing the update for my game would be the best option.

[hardy current]

Like its all clean only glass. is there an option for it

[mossy saddle]

Yes it has options once you add it to remove the frame

[hardy current]

Thanks

[mossy saddle]

NP!

[void heath]

Guys, I found what I think is a bug, In radial menus on ASA, if you are on console using Keyboard and mouse, the hitboxes for each option, is only on the visible part of the radial menu, which would be fine, however in radial menus your cursor is invisible so you have to guess where it is, this makes it incredibly frustrating for deep menus
-Can somebody submit this for me, every time I try to make an account, the confirmation email doesn't send

[honest forge]

How many hours from now is late pst, anyone? In relevance to what wildcard actually refers to as late ofc.

[tough yarrow]

12ish hours or so

[fallen zephyr]

Brothers, how long will it take to update

[wraith copper]

Whats up

[mossy saddle]

imagine a complete reinstall of ASA

True

[tough yarrow]

Yes it'll be a reinstall basically, it's ~150gb

[hoary hornet]

Moew

[lofty kettle]

Is that going to be PS5 too?

[hollow bone]

Maybe on weekend the update xD and we can't play on it

[lofty kettle]

What do I need to go and survive the cold northern wastes on the Island where the Argentavis are?

[jovial cedar]

so whos ready for this update to happen?

[wintry fox]

fur armor / otter on your shoulder / bit of other cold resistance armor / fortitude

ooh, another is platform saddle with loads of fires

[lucid carbon]

Have they made survival ascended better yet since its release? It was really buggy and unoptimized so I couldn’t play

[sturdy heath]

I have been playing it from the start. The engine upgrade coming soon “should add performance improvements “

[stable widget]

i cant wait for rag lol

[fleet garnet]

Will be delayed

[sturdy heath]

Lol yeah

[verbal fern]

I’m going to bet it’ll be delayed …. Again

[errant cloak]

It’s out Friday

[fast narwhal]

2026 release date

[lucid carbon]

Are there still floating rocks and stuff?

[vivid zenith]

I found that setting foliage quality to epic fixes that, so in a way preformance upgrades can also fix that lol

Im mainly hoping for a fix to the flickering lighting

[lucid carbon]

What’s the main benefit of ascended over original evolved?

[steel abyss]

i need quetzal saddles how do i get them fast ( good ones prob )

[supple cave]

hello

i am new

[hybrid marten]

help plese my game crashes too frequently recently there wasnt this problem befire help plese

[sturdy heath]

Not like at launch no. Sometimes you find small spots

[sturdy heath]

Added content. I love the bobs packs

Mod support and cross play

[proper swift]

Recruiting for 1x rag we got 20 ppl rn dm me for requirements and if your interested fresh start new map HMU!!!

[glad citrus]

[glad citrus]

#1110949794907684965

[sage cargo]

I'm shocked that there is no news of a delay yet

[glad citrus]

same'

[steel abyss]

where do i get op quetzal saddles easy ( no abberation or scorched earth pls )

[alpine basin]

Any good PvP unofficial servers low tek preferably

[grizzled plank]

foliage interaction being enabled helps a ton with that

[sturdy heath]

Yup

[fluid edge]

Just wait

No news of anything usually brings delay last min

[molten oracle]

when did they say it was going to release anyway

[hallow epoch]

late pst

[sturdy heath]

There is. Pinned message in general

[neat rain]

whats releasing ?

[golden orchid]

Read the announcements channel. It should be the first thing you read here.

[hollow bone]

what are the benefits of the egg incubator from bob talles? works it like the cs hatchery, it collects automatcially all embroys? or do I need extract the embryos with the gene scanner?

[neat rain]

when its transitioning to 5.5, will there be any relevant changes that we should know of ?

[sturdy heath]

Are you on official? Or unofficial?

[neat rain]

official

[sturdy heath]

Then not much you need to do other then. I would not play much today as it may get rolled back potentially(even this is not a guarantee) get everything out of upload that maybe in upload

[rich gate]

Sup bobs, what's the shit rep?

[glass ice]

Anyone play on scorched 5547

[simple finch]

Yea I do

[glass ice]

5547?

[cyan violet]

[grave grove]

For the update is it best to do a clean installation

[peak wyvern]

Does any1 know how i can spawn inside a cave beds dont work they just send u to the beach

[safe hemlock]

Not until late pst time at this moment

[ember nymph]

Oh it’s definitely getting delayed again, no time means it’s still not getting past cert.

[coral cedar]

You'd think given the delays it may have been possible to not release it at night on the actual release day, so that anyone NOT in PST would have actual time to play instead of just having to sit and update the game plus every single mod

[sturdy heath]

They have a time on a pinned note on general… kinda

[coral cedar]

Like first anticipated release day, night time... Fine

Delay a day maybe it could have been mid day on the new release.

Delay a second time, definitely could have maybe sorta probably been mid day instead of at night

[past gazelle]

Should I put my oasisuar in the obelisk or would it be okay sitting on top of my base?

[ember nymph]

I’m still confused why they don’t just release the updates a week later of date they expect, just tell the public a week from when they do cert. This way if cert fails they got a whole week to fix it.

Also if they need to delay it we get a full week in advanced instead of launch day.

[coral cedar]

And that might give enough time after the fact to work out the inevitable bugs and also for the mod authors to deal with potential issues as well.

Maybe there are factors I don't understand which dictate that it's night time for whichever timezone is stated but that's just my initial uneducated thoughts

[sturdy heath]

Nothing like a last minute finishing homework lol

[ember nymph]

I wish my teachers back in the day let it slide if I didn’t finish on time and had to hand it in couple days late.

[strong dune]

yo, owl pellets are not workin in my gartchas on crossplay smalls anyone know why?

[coral cedar]

I don't want to just sit and complain here like to be honest the delays were disappointing but I'm not upset, what bothers me personally being EST is that it being at night PST there is no chance that after all the updates needed, I'll be playing it.

Mod downloads on console are excruciatingly slow

[elder cobalt]

Can anyone help with why my mods stopped working

[coral cedar]

Can you be more specific?

All mods? Certain ones?

Exact issue (s)?

[elder cobalt]

I restarted redownloaded everything

All

I think it said they are updating then they stopped working

[coral cedar]

Oh well that'll do it

[plucky comet]

Is the update there yet

[coral cedar]

Night time PST

[plucky comet]

Ah okay ty

[coral cedar]

Pacific standard time (West Coast)

[elder cobalt]

Foundation ceiling, cryo sickness protection, awesome spyglass, and smt are the mods I use

[coral cedar]

Not that I think you don't know PST but I know not everyone is used to US zones

[coral cedar]

If they stopped working when it says they were updating, I'd reckon it's due to that

[elder cobalt]

How can I fix it.

It doesn't show me they are updating anymore

[coral cedar]

Are you playing server or single player?

[elder cobalt]

Single player

[vital halo]

I was just playing on a server and there not updating yet

[covert grove]

FINGERS CROSS so far no delay

[coral cedar]

Yeah I'm not too sure if I have anything to help you with on that one

[vital halo]

How long does an update take tho ? Like a full day or couple of hours ?

[elder cobalt]

what do you usually do to solve this

Like resetting things

[echo sand]

Varies

😆

[vital halo]

Thank you ☺️

Didn’t know you couldn’t send a gif 😂😂

[echo sand]

Yeah they no likey

[spare folio]

It's only 11 a.m. PST, according to what WC announced, it will take a few more hours for the update to be released. For German time, the update won't be available until tomorrow.

[vital halo]

lol

Dame so we’re good to okay till tomorrow basicallg

Play *

[echo sand]

Yeah we like 8hours ahead of pst time I'm uk time Germany is 9hours ahead correct?

[vital halo]

Yes that’s correct i’m in Canada so i’m 3 hours ahead from pts

[spare folio]

@echo sand Germany is 9 hours ahead of PST

[echo sand]

I reckon IF it drops this time it will be early a.m hours for us like 4-5am

[vital halo]

Damn you guys are lucky ☺️

[spare folio]

and the British time zone is one hour ahead of us

[echo sand]

Yeah Germany is ahead of me by like 1 hour I played with some German guys 😆

Nah we behind

Time is for you just now ?@spare folio

[nocturne cloud]

hey guys ive been pouring through google on how to get the Tek base glowing effect and am not having much luck any ideas ?? as ive seen player tek bases lit up like las vegas and i cant get mine to do the same am on ASA btw

[echo sand]

Cosmetic skins or just standard tek structures?

[nocturne cloud]

standard

[echo sand]

Hmm never heard of it if I'm honest 😆

[spare folio]

20:20

[echo sand]

Yeah its only 19:20 here

[nocturne cloud]

ok is there any cosmetics for them then

[echo sand]

You ahead 1 hour do you guys do daylight savings ?@spare folio

[nocturne cloud]

19:20 here too in UK

[spare folio]

Yes

[echo sand]

Yeah a good few tbh erm not many free ones tho alot of the good ones are premium @nocturne cloud

[echo sand]

And yeah I'm Scottish

[nocturne cloud]

fair enough do i just search for tek cosmetics or

[nocturne cloud]

Northern ireland

[echo sand]

If you want i can dm you some links to the cursed forge page

[nocturne cloud]

please would be great its giving me a headache searching google all day getting nowhere

[echo sand]

There's a free one that's decent it allows you to skin likes of pillars and it makes them into neon lights that change colour etc some neat ones

2secs i will find a few names for them

[nocturne cloud]

thanks

[echo sand]

And could listen to you guys speak all day long mate love the Irish accent 👌

[nocturne cloud]

lol thanks

@echo sand heres my base atm on ASA #fanart-and-screenshots message

[fossil flare]

Anyone know how to turn the event on in singleplayer, I'm having difficulty find this

[soft burrow]

Has the event been released yet?

I thought it was releasing with the update

[elder cobalt]

An update on my problem. It worked after reinstalling/restarting the mods or game. Just had to learn Ingrams again.
Hope this helps someone.

[odd scroll]

When is the update out?

[lapis tree]

Sometime this evening. No exact time. Is what I’m seeing.

[full axle]

Overnight sometime.

[stiff fiber]

when is the patch coming?

[raven spire]

Hi! are there any groups open to taking on a new player? im over 18 and catch on fairly well there is just a lot happening lol. its currently 3:04pm for me (so you can get and idea for your timezone) I have just under 20 hours logged on my pc through xbox. I don't have any dlc at this point and im lost completely on modding so none of that either yet lol

[lucid gull]

We are willing to accept new people but we only ever have one map at a time and one tribe map and server are password protected you must have discord and be willing to talk to other people you can either camp at headquarters or build your own base most people have their own bases if you're experienced great do your own thing or play with the others we're quite often do things together but some like doing things on their own it's quite at the moment because everyone's waiting for the new update we deliberately keep a small and we are going to Ragnarok very soon if interested I can send you a link to our discord even that isn't just open to the public lol
We have some mods, only reason where willing to take some more people is we had a server split last year people left to join a super modded server, and we don't want to grow into a huge server

[keen siren]

Anyone in a mega tribe on official pvp recruiting?

[raven spire]

Yes please do send me a message!

[spare folio]

No in PST is es now 12:37am

we will have the update tomorrow if I go by German time

there it is only 12.38 in the morning

[abstract wing]

Are we there yet?

[safe quest]

Wait a minute.... midnight PST? So four in the damn morning ET?

[rapid rover]

exactly one job for this discord and its keep going down bottom of fail

[safe quest]

Can someone tell me I am wrong please

eastern time US

[vestal geyser]

its only noon pst

[safe quest]

WAIT hold up .. so in 15 minutes????

[vestal geyser]

no im saying currently its only noon, not midnight we still got hours before we hear anything, we dont know an exact time

[spare folio]

@safe quest If I compare German time with PST time, we are 9 hours ahead of PST, which means in PST it is only 12:43 noon and for me it is 9:43 p.m.

[safe quest]

Oh. Grrrr

[spare folio]

No by me 9:44pm

[safe quest]

Guten Tag, wie geht es dir, to all my German friends

[spare folio]

yes we have 1 hour difference

[hazy gorge]

So for europe its tomorow early?

[spare folio]

Yes

sometime early in the morning

[silent matrix]

Rare flowers are one of those things that I should be using more myself TBH.

Especially to make things not run away, and chase you into a trap where you can deal with them at your leisure.

[gleaming bobcat]

No announcements yet today no communication nothing reeeee

[turbid sapphire]

How is visibility in ASA at night time? Do people turn up their gamma or

[sturdy heath]

Pinned comment on global

[plucky herald]

On the island it’s no issue. Only dark place where I adjust gama is cave of the lost souls

[silent matrix]

Sometimes? Or they use a torch, or night vision goggles, or tek helmet, or just do stuff inside their base until daytime, or deal with things being not super visible.

[turbid sapphire]

I see, thank you both

[silent matrix]

If you're trying to play "super legit" then grab a torch, night vision goggles, or a tek helmet.

[elfin orbit]

Or just wait till morning

I didn't go outside till I was a man

[cold knoll]

several of the ingame night vision things don't even appear to do anything. Tek binoculars are supposed to have that feature but it doesn't work. Shadow steak saute doesn't seem to do anything either but I guess that one could be a personal issue.

[ancient palm]

Unfortunately and I don't know why but the tapejara ran from me. Thrice. Now I can't find it

Was worth the try though

[tulip rivet]

guys how do i fix lights flickering on textures in asa

does anyone know a fix for this issue

cuz its realy going on my nerves

[sleek whale]

Just git gud lad

[silent matrix]

I would start by waiting for 6-7 hours for the UE 5.5 update that involves a complete engine rebuild, and may fix a lot of issues.

If it's still an issue after that, then maybe there's something else that can be done.

[tulip rivet]

Cant i turn it off with commands or sum

Someone told me that

I js dont know which one it is

[silent matrix]

I honestly have no idea. I just know they're about to drop a pretty massive update and I'm hedging on it for game performance.

Hoping there are fewer crashes, more stability (especially in single player).

[dusty kraken]

try disable DLSS if you have it on

[tired lodge]

Is the astreos update going to be in the top right portion of the map?

[coarse kernel]

Is anyone's servers lagging?

[grim coral]

Tek binos dont have night vision. You thinking tek helmet which does work to degree when you select.right mode

[grim coral]

Yes

[tulip rivet]

it didnt help

i also tried r.shadowquality 0 and it didnt help

could there be another reason

[opal ridge]

Anyone know how to get high level dino spawns on the island??

[wintry fox]

do you mean max level wilds 150, or just more higher level ones?

[fast flame]

Js dont

[arctic sandal]

hey anyone know the UE 5.5 launch time??

[dusty kraken]

june 2nd 2035

[arctic sandal]

🤑 stonks

tomorow

[safe quest]

What do you guys think the chances are of DLSS frame generation coming back in this update?

[safe quest]

Anywhere between 11PM and 5AM ET.

[smoky quiver]

Could anyone advise on how to create a server backup the includes the existing structures?

[white lark]

There is already DLSS FG

[frail acorn]

I’ve got 8gb of ram. Do yall think my pc is cooked for this game? 🙏

[dusty kraken]

isnt it already there but you need supported GPU to see it?

[fierce saffron]

Cooked

[dusty kraken]

put resolution 640x480 and pray to the gods

[frail acorn]

Dude that’s what I be doing! Worked in the past

[dusty kraken]

but seriously 8GB RAM, what rock you living under? my laptop from 2010 has 8GB RAM

[covert grove]

SOOO far so good no delay yet!! CROSS fingers and toes

[fierce saffron]

32g ddr4 at like 3400 will work very well or even that speed at 16g but 8g your gonna rage and if you want high fps more ram is better

[safe quest]

3200 is enough in my experience. GPU heavy game anyway. Puts my 4090 at 100% constantly even though I’m running a 5900x.

[safe quest]

I must have missed this, I thought it had been removed from the game because of instability

[fierce saffron]

I’m rocking 128g at 6800 lol

[dusty kraken]

your GPU running at 100%? you running 4K or what

[safe quest]

Yes and Epic settings

[fierce saffron]

A good ini will do wonders too

[safe quest]

I’m jelly. Wish I had that much RAM for physics sims.

[fickle jolt]

Where ?

[white lark]

Yea there is also support for MFG iff you have RTX 5000 series card. I have around 300 fps on epic setting 😁

[dusty kraken]

Seattle

[fierce saffron]

What cpu you running?

[safe quest]

5900x PBO + CO -15 all-core hitting 5,050MHz, 4900Mhz effective. Got a 420 AIO coming in the mail, gonna try to hit 5.0 effective.

[sage cargo]

This is scary no news and we are getting closer to the release of the update

[fickle jolt]

Fr

[dusty kraken]

I hope you dont play pvp, the input lag must be horrible

[safe quest]

Sadly I only have a 4090, made a typo earlier

[fierce saffron]

You under volt it ?

[dusty kraken]

I pray 5.5 includes intel framegen (why tf did I get intel)😭

[safe quest]

MFG input lag isn't that much worse than regular FG on high end 5000. The tensor cores generate the frames fast enough

[safe quest]

Yes that's the curve optimizer -15 all-core. I had it on per-core before and locked down on Windows 10 but switching to Win11 made it unstable.

[safe quest]

you're not gonna have a great experience trying to run this monster even on a B580. It's just too damn demanding

[mortal ridge]

Will the new ue 5.5 update add multiframe gen?

[opal ridge]

Just more high lveles

[safe quest]

Unlikely

[proud willow]

is there anyway to get shocking tranq darts naturally on extinction

[dusty kraken]

I actually have no problems running the game on high settings with b580

[safe quest]

1080p?

[dusty kraken]

1080p and r.ScreenPercentage 120

[fading ice]

none of that is how anything really works. cant measure GPU use as a single percent, and you are probably pretty CPU bottlenecked in some areas. especially with a 6+6 core dual CCD

[safe quest]

So you're running 1080p with some supersampling? Are you still using in-game AA?

[dusty kraken]

Its set to Unreal so whatever the game does idk

[fading ice]

it is "dumb" supersampling. TIL you can do that, epic docs say it works, but "needs improvement"

probably just a big fps hit for no benefit

[mortal ridge]

is ark a single cored game where ghz matters? or is it a mixture of both?

[safe quest]

The only game that bottlenecks this system is Hogwarts Legacy completely maxed out. Playing Ark on this system: 100% GPU usage, GPU pulling 450-470 watts. It's maxed out brah.

[fading ice]

ASE or ASA?

[safe quest]

UE5 improves multithreaded performance vs UE4 but admittedly not by much. 5.5 - 5.6 should change that.

[mortal ridge]

ASA, i know the Gpu deadass doesnt matter when it gets to a certain point

[dusty kraken]

I'd say GHz matters a little bit, but a bigger L3 cache does most difference with the game engine in ASA

[safe quest]

True. Cache is more important than raw clock speed in gaming, most of the time.

That's why X3D chips are so insane. Lots and lots of cache.

[mortal ridge]

so for example i have a i7 12700k the cache is like 25 MB, is that the same as a cache on the AMD processors?

[fading ice]

no idea what you mean by that, but ASA will easily use 8 physical cores, but has a main-worker thread model and relies pretty heavily on CPU speed. "Ghz" is an utterly useless measure for CPU performance unless it is between identical components and factoring in a lot of other complex shit, as always. as long as you have a decent modern 12+ thread CPU, you probably wont see serious performance issues from it

[safe quest]

X3D processors have 3D stacked cache which allows them to pack more cache in the CPU so I am guessing no.

[sharp zinc]

you guys don't jump on people when they mentions collabs do you?

[fading ice]

intel's architecture internals are drastically different from AMD processors, barely comparable

[safe quest]

Jump on people? You mean like a trampoline? XD

[sharp zinc]

meaning being jerks

[fading ice]

that is on the low end of what ASA will run well on, but it should be perfectly fine if you are not going for 120+ fps

[safe quest]

I was just pulling your leg no worries. IDK usually people in here are pretty chill

[sharp zinc]

ok because i just left a dino game that if you just mention a collab like for an example jurassic park everyone would jump you and then the devs would tell you to shut up and delete the messages

[white lark]

Not rly mate, there is low latency option in nvidia app and it helps a lot. Honestly game is running great. But I dont need 300fps so I'm leaving MFG only at 3x and capping my fps to 144. After that i have rly smooth experience.

[safe quest]

What CPU did you pair with the 5090? Experience any bottlenecking in other games?

[mortal ridge]

What i meant is that when i upgraded my gpu not to long ago from a 4070 to a 5070ti it got more stable but not really a noticeable change. and my gpu nor my cpu cores necessarily maxed out. So i was wondering if its more a cpu problem

[safe quest]

That's a 50 series problem. The uplift was kinda pathetic.

[white lark]

9800x3D and dont rly.

[void heath]

guys so far how are we on the ark update? still scheduled for 6 ish hours from now

[sturdy heath]

I would expect that yup

[safe quest]

11 PM to 5 AM ET. It's a big question mark basically.

I wish they'd give us the patch notes...

[sharp zinc]

so with the update will the graphics change? i saw it said unreal engine

[fading ice]

why on earth did you "upgrade" from a 4070 to basically a 4070. and you cant have "neither maxed out", unless you have a framerate limit or really weird software issues

[safe quest]

As far as I know, the newer maps coming out yes. The older maps, not so much. Maybe slight changes.

[sharp zinc]

nice

[mortal ridge]

in my personal experience its been really really good with other games without using FG, i can see the performance increase in basically every game besides cpu intensive games like valorant or arma reforger

[sturdy heath]

Ya rag was built on UE 5.5

[sharp zinc]

the game i mentioned i used to play was path of titans and they had unreal engine but it didn't look as good as ark dinos do

[mortal ridge]

i mostly bought it for the features tho, like smooth motion

[fading ice]

oh, it is a GB203. Nvidia's wack naming returns

[safe quest]

Does anyone have any inside info on The Island though? I'd really love to play that with some performance improvements. It's my favorite map.

[fading ice]

i dont think that is a "feature" 🤔

the only exclusive feature blackwell has is MFG, which is a hilariously useless noobtrap

[sharp zinc]

will there be a feature to turn off clouds and fog because it's awful my screen will turn completely white

[safe quest]

Try:

r.VolumetricClouds 0

[fading ice]

DLSS4 works back to at least ampere

[fading ice]

inside info on what?

[sharp zinc]

i can in single but if i go into my bf non dedicated server it won't allow me to do so

[granite vine]

I did notice some light bugs with clouds going over. Could be a settings issue depending on what you are running. I know this sounds cliche but YouTube has been great with settings tutorials for games like Ark.

[dusty kraken]

dont you mean turing?

[glass trout]

What cpu are u using?

[safe quest]

But honestly I do this:

r.VolumetricCloud.ViewRaySampleMaxCount 64
r.VolumetricRenderTarget.Mode 3

[safe quest]

Whether The Island will be receiving any kind of performance improvement from this.

[sharp zinc]

i run ps5

[fading ice]

probably

[mortal ridge]

its a feature where you can use frame gen on practically any game that doesnt have it. multiframe gen isnt as bad as people say either, if you run about 50 frames on a game and put 4x mfg on the input delay is about as bad as normal frame gen.

[safe quest]

Because you need Admin rights in the server to use the console

[fading ice]

the update? of course it will. has nothing to do with individual maps

[glass trout]

Btw the 5070 ti is a 4070 ti super

[mortal ridge]

i7 12700k

[dusty kraken]

RTX 20 cards do support DLSS4 and its turing, ampere is 30 cards

[glass trout]

U should be good

[sharp zinc]

is there a way for my bf to give admin commands to me? he tried looking it up and it won't work

[summer sierra]

Yall think the update getting delayed again?

[safe quest]

That isn't what the devs said. They said only the maps built from the ground up in 5.5 will get the full package.

[summer sierra]

I think it's coming tonight

[safe quest]

No they don't. DLSS4 is frame gen and only works on 4000 series and up.

[safe quest]

No you have to do it because it changes engine parameters locally.

[safe quest]

No.

[fading ice]

input delay is worse, and it looks hilariously hideous.. just no point, even normal FG needs about 90 fps to not look like TAA gone wild and destroy any pixel level detail. just a big number with no benefit. and game-agnostic framegen is postprocessing, you can do that on any GPU (for years), and it looks absolutely hideous. nicknamed the "soap opera effect". nobody gave it a second glance until "framegen" became a buzzword

[sharp zinc]

dang maybe one day they will set it in settings to turn off fog

[dusty kraken]

Nope, you are confusing framegen sdk and super resolution

[fading ice]

cant do real framegen without integration into the game engine to get framebuffer data

a lot of TVs have that "framegen" filter built in, it is pain

[safe quest]

You can use DLSS4 on 20-series cards and up but not with frame gen which is what DLSS4 introduced so you might as well only be using DLSS3

[fading ice]

DLSS4 and the new models are huge improvements over DLSS"3", which is just the DLSS2 model

[dusty kraken]

DLSS4 upscaling looks a lot better than DLSS3, theres no reason to use outdated DLSS files

[fading ice]

FSR4 is also an improvement over DLSS2

[sullen temple]

what time iwll the update come out today

[safe quest]

True. I'm just saying that telling people they can use DLSS4 on 20 series without telling them that caveat is a bit misleading.

[safe quest]

Any time between 11PM and 5AM Eastern Time.

[dusty kraken]

You don't upgrade dlss files for framegen, ultra performance dlss4 looks almost as good as quality dlss3 so people should absolutely upgrade

[sharp zinc]

oh i also have a question. um why does my character's hair so shiny? lol

[safe quest]

You are right

[mortal ridge]

the input delay isnt noticable when you run decent framerates anyways, cyberpunk was a big one for me. there was a noticable performance increase without FG, when you turn on MFG the input delay is better than the 4070 with single FG by a pretty decent margin. I also bought it for the same price as a 4070ti, So why not get a gpu that has more vram than my current one as well as faster speeds?

[rocky token]

Any eta on the upate?

[safe quest]

This is just how they created the shader. And we are at the mercy of it because those cant be changed with mods. I have always wanted to be able to turn the underwater volumetric fog down without turning it off completely to boost visibility but alas, there is no console command for that either.

HOWEVER if you guys like bloom but find the implementation too intense:

r.BloomQuality 1

Feast your eyes. No longer overblown!!!

[safe quest]

11PM - 5AM ET... big time spread there.

[rocky token]

Damn

[safe quest]

I'm just gonna say it everyone coming in here asking about when the update drops should be prepared to just wait until tomorrow morning

But maybe they will surprise us

[rocky token]

Sigh

[dusty kraken]

be prepared to wait until 2035 is a better idea

[hoary needle]

how long does 1 element last in a tek gen?

in asa ofc

[dusty kraken]

18hrs

[sharp zinc]

i been playing ark for only a week and i love it. i can’t believe i didn't play it sooner

[safe quest]

It really is a great game. Not without it's flaws of course, but a great game nonetheless.

[sharp zinc]

yea i never played it because your dinos could die and i get attached to things too easily lol but my bf told me he can keep them from dying so i gave it a shot and now i'm obsessed

[marsh haven]

anyone know good stats for theris if im tryna run the dragon fight. id prefer not to have to have 70H and 70M

[safe quest]

storing them in a cryopod fridge while they aren't in use is what I do. You dont have to feed them all the time that way too.

[sharp zinc]

nice! when my bf gets on we probably gonna prepare for our first boss which is the spider? i think

[safe quest]

Yep the spider. Bring lots of Rex's.

[distant gyro]

Hello all, where do we find official information on this update?

[sharp zinc]

does paleo rex count?

[safe quest]

That will drop with the update in #patch-notes

Wish they would pre-publish that for us but it is what it is

[safe quest]

I have no idea honestly

[distant gyro]

No I mean when they will break ark ..... er apply the update?

[sharp zinc]

hopefully it counts because thats what he got but we only have two right now

[safe quest]

Two is not gonna be enough for the boss unless you guys have the settings on super easy values. You're supposed to bring what, up to 20 I think guys?

[sharp zinc]

yea we need more we wasn't going to fight it with only two rexes lol

[safe quest]

Searching for the community crunch on the UE5.5 update is probably your best bet. Tells you everything available info wise.

[sharp zinc]

also i think our setting is on hard i believe with adjusted stats but nothing too crazy

so basically between medium and hard difficulty i believe

[safe quest]

yeah thats gonna be a tough fight

I would probably try to get a daeodon and a yuty for that

[sharp zinc]

also any tip on spawns? because we got the deinotherium elephant mod but for some reason none will spawn

[safe quest]

Nothing you can do, just make sure the mod is installed properly. Some mobs are just more rare than others

[hardy current]

Isnt the elephant on officiall now

[sharp zinc]

i did find a baby yuty and wait it is?

[midnight breach]

Tame a lystro baby and keep it safe!

[sharp zinc]

i did once and i think its in the house

[safe quest]

bring it near some parked dinos and pet it and it will boost their passive XP gain

[sharp zinc]

i imprint on every baby i see because i don't have the heart to leave them alone lol

[west sparrow]

Is there a marker in the library.json file (or another "global" file) that can be used to identify whether a mod is a server-side mod or a custom cosmetic? Background: I recently had an issue where a defective (and unused!) mod caused the inventory to be invisible. The mod wouldn't load (it wasn't on the server). Now I want to write a script that allows me to regularly kill all the mod corpses. Both in the files and, of course, in the JSON itself – so that the mod is truly removed cleanly.

My wife couldn’t play ARK anymore whenever her first tamed Dodo got killed… meanwhile I am a hardcore solo since ASE beta who breeds parents with their children and throws unwanted dinos into grinders or into my chainsaw.. not unusual for dino corpses to be all over the place

[coarse kernel]

Do you know the command to start heatwave?

[distant gyro]

Thank you for your advice however they do not have a time listed there either.

[gloomy bluff]

Anyone hearing rumors about cryopods breaking?

[elfin orbit]

Mod pods

[gloomy bluff]

Can you direct me to this announcement by chance?

I’m hearing strong rumors that vanilla pods are about to break

[hardy current]

Only mods ones and not all of them

[copper tapir]

Should i take my stuff out of underground boxes till after update?

[nimble drum]

May we have some promotions on Summer Sales on Steam? For ASA?

[safe quest]

Oh. The time is 11PM - 5AM ET.

[nimble drum]

I play on Pc Game Pass, but i want to buy It...

[coarse kernel]

Does anyone know the command to start heatwave?

[copper tapir]

Are the Bob's tall tales underground boxs ok you think?

[safe quest]

take everything that is stored in mod containers and put them in vanilla ones until after the update, yes.

Here I sit, eating fried mushrooms directly out of the fridge, cold and mushy so I could spend more time watching for the update. Something is seriously wrong with me.

[hardy current]

Dino depot is safe

[dusk atlas]

i sure hope so lol

[hardy current]

As the devloper of the mod said

[pseudo stirrup]

What time is update

[safe quest]

For the love of Odin just scroll up

[pseudo stirrup]

Ah so no ark for 6 hours or is that their rough guesstimate

[distant gyro]

There is no time listed for the update, only the day.

[safe quest]

pretty much

[safe quest]

No they actually said 11PM to 5AM ET

[dusk atlas]

where did they say that

[distant gyro]

I literally just looked at the crunch, they have only today's date listed there.

[void barn]

I really hope the optimisation improves when the new update drops.

[sage cargo]

Has anything been said yet ?

[void barn]

About to purchase a 9060xt for £314 and from what I've seen it will be able to do 60fps 1440p medium settings with some upscaling

Hope it gets to the 70fps mark

[fleet epoch]

Has WC actually confirmed if they are updating today?

[void barn]

Seeing as theres no announcement of a delay again I think it will drop today

But then again you can't be too sure

[pearl quartz]

ooohhh no delay yet its looking promising

[fleet epoch]

True but it’s WC they could announce the delay 5min before like they have in the past

[void barn]

True 😭

I just need benchmarks so I can decide what GPU to buy

My Rx 580 is not working properly anymore 😦

[glass trout]

Hmmm

something with 8+gb of vram would be incredible

[safe quest]

If you scroll up far enough you will find someone sharing their discord post which said 11PM to 5AM ET. It should automatically adjust to your timezone when you mouse over it.

[safe quest]

12GB VRAM and up. Lots of options. But DO NOT get 8GB.

[hardy current]

8 vram is dead

[gloomy bluff]

<@&1167982808074043413> With the upcoming update there was a change to cropods that will likely impact some mod authors.
Cryopods had a change where the Dino Class has been moved from the CustomDataClasses array in the CID to CustomDataSoftClasses.

So if you are doing any custom cryopod logic that is expecting the dino class to be in the old array you will want to update your mods to instead read it from CustomDataSoftClasses

What I’m hearing is that the modders tested this and found that it broke vanilla pods

Don’t shoot the messenger

[hardy current]

It didnt

[gloomy bluff]

If WC knows this they either better fix it or delay

[hardy current]

And not all the cryos mod affected

[fair wyvern]

trust

[gloomy bluff]

I’ve played this game 8 years. Trust went out the door 5 years ago

[void barn]

Yeah I was debating the 9060xt or the 9070xt

But the 9070xt is a bit overpriced in the UK rn so I'm banking on getting a 9060xt tomorrow when it releases

And it's like double the price

[glass ice]

Ok for the update happening
Are our Dino’s safe to be out ?

[fair wyvern]

yeah

[glass ice]

Because people saying they might break but I seen something saying that they’ll be OK

[calm salmon]

Yes if you have any modded cryopods or fridges take them out

[glass ice]

Like cosmetics ?

I took all mine off ^^

[calm salmon]

They said cosmetics were fine but config mods might be a problem

[glass ice]

Config mods ?
I know what those are but enlighten me about them again

[calm salmon]

Example i use a modded cryopod that saves dinos and their inventories

[fair wyvern]

they will be fine

[glass ice]

I don’t have that

[calm salmon]

You are good then

[scarlet jetty]

No news guys?

[raven grove]

When is this update dropping

[elfin orbit]

After its delayed

#announcements

[keen siren]

Seriously tho guys when’s the update

Yall are trolling at this point

WC I mean

[past sentinel]

Just keep an eye on announcement channel, the fact it hasn't been pushed yet again is positive sign for tonight.

[elfin orbit]

It's delayed from a delay that was delayed from a prior delay... not sure how its trolling 😞

[fair wyvern]

at night pacific time, it is only 3:26pm pacific currently

[keen siren]

Ok I’m eastern time bro so idk pacific, not everyone lives in California

[terse stump]

they said wednesday night, they didnt say which wednesday night ☝️ 🤓

[keen siren]

I need u to break it down Barney style for me

[rough lodge]

Im guessing in like 3 to 4 hours then we can start 😅

[void barn]

I think 7-8

[fair wyvern]

yep it’s alright to ask, estimated time is pinned in this channel

[past sentinel]

Pacific is 3 hours behind

[void barn]

Its 3pm in PST according to google

[halcyon token]

Dumb question, is it best to cryo all dinos for this update?

[cosmic oxide]

Busco tribu

Pyro, Bob comprados

[void barn]

So 6-8 hours I'm assuming

[keen siren]

7 pm ESt?

[fair wyvern]

doesn’t matter

[keen siren]

When EST?

[halcyon token]

Someone on official mentioned it, wasn't sure if they were panicking

[past sentinel]

Why are you obsessed with exact time, it could be midnight or later EST

[fair wyvern]

just people getting nervous

[keen siren]

I like to know when things release, do you enjoy not knowing when things will arrive?

[halcyon token]

Understandable

[keen siren]

Usually people give updates for their customers (if they care)

[past sentinel]

You don't always get that ability, just make sure you have proper tags in this server for announcements in #announcements channel.

[keen siren]

Is it reflective on a game company’s integrity when we don’t get that ability as paying customers? Ok thank u

No hate, I’m just saying

U serious? Pushed to Friday lol

They should really look at giving time ranges next time

[candid pike]

Just say ur not releasing it 😭

[past sentinel]

As long as the update or game release is impressive for what I expect then honestly I don't think giving out exact time is necessary.

I'd rather them focus on cooking up good results than trying to hit a specific time

[keen siren]

U think the update will be impressive on release? I can tell u how many years you’ve played ark by the response to this because they always disappoint. It’s Ark bro they could have 5 years and still release a broken update

[smoky pumice]

^

The UE5.5 update is now due 4th June, Wildcard are aiming for **"Night-time PST". **

This is roughly around <t:1749092400:R> - <t:1749114000:R>, it could be more, or less, but until we have a specific time-frame, it's just Night-time PST (for anyone in UK/Europe or anywhere East of those, it'll be Thursday for us).

** this automatically converts to your OWN timezone **

• Anyone on official doesn't need to worry about mods, or skins. The cosmetic skins on official do not change the game items other than their mesh (not how they work). There is a false rumour being spread that it'll wipe your items/builds, but they will not. They may appear broken, but that's just the mod. You can also remove your skin mods if you want to, but it isn't needed.

• Anyone on unofficial should make a back-up save prior to the UE5.5. update just incase.

• Many mod authors have stated nothing has broken for them and they have already tested and cooked their mods within UE5.5. so no need to worry. But some have also said, just to be safe/for your own comfort, place things within vanilla (base game) structures/cryos. Again you don't need to, but some are saying it just to be safe.

• this update is going to be large; "it's essentially the whole game to shift to 5.5, so about 150 gig (lil less for Playstation) then each map which will be around 5 - 10ish" - Dollie. It does also bring ARK's Bday event, new structures, Astraeos map update and more!!

• if you're on Official, remove anything you have uploaded (Inc characters) prior to the update, to be safe.

• If you’re on Unofficial and have infinite storage time in obelisks, make sure to remove modded items from there as well. (broken mod items may be invisible, but still occupy space, messing the storage capacity, as an obelisk inventory is bound to your account there's no workaround on getting the slots back without killing all your progress)- advice from @twilit void

[dim drum]

Is this serious?

[keen siren]

Can we trust tho?

[stone shuttle]

No

[void heath]

it got deleted, shitpost I think

[stone shuttle]

That’s from me so

Are u dev?

[fair wyvern]

ry is trustworthy, promise

[keen siren]

So u have bad teeth, but what about the update

[void heath]

Would my base be safe if I made a clearing in the redwoods to stop thyla's from jumping my dinos and just had a tree platform in the center are there any other dinos that would attack my base

[west sparrow]

ok found my self ... script is in testing - i think tomorrow on github (WulfmanGER)

[void heath]

PS: The british have much better dentalcare than the US, if you aren't american, we still have one of the best in the world

[faint remnant]

Will ue5 improve Xbox series s gameplay and graphics

[lyric tapir]

Today is the day Ragnarok will be released?

[void heath]

nope 18th

or was 18th, might be delayed

[lyric tapir]

ty loool

[keen siren]

Ok cool, is 5.5 tonight?

[past sentinel]

I don't know, and until it goes live I won't share one way or another. I do know WC has been more impressive with the improvement of remastering ASE to ASA than a bunch of other AAA companies have at releasing entirely new games to sequel their last. I'm tired of companies settling for bare minimum changes just cause they can get away with cause it safe way to push out products.

I've decreased my library of games to reflect that to in what I'm willing to support

[lyric tapir]

Unfortunately we no longer believe in the wild card dates, they are always delayed.

[keen siren]

How is a remaster impressive, u just took the same thing and polished it a bit. If anything a sequel would be, but I do agree many more recently have been terrible

I’m just hating at this point lol, in all seriousness tho I love ark and just wanna do some 5.5

[past sentinel]

The graphical improvement and vanilla level of base building is far above what ASE had

[sage cargo]

Any 5.5 update info yet

[past sentinel]

#announcements

[keen siren]

True but I mean I think ground up is a lot harder than graphics. I’m not a dev tho so I won’t go further than that

[sage cargo]

That was yesterday announcement I mean anything new today

[past sentinel]

To be honest I think they should stop giving out heads up announcements all together and just announce it going live.

[keen siren]

I’m going back to ck3, I’ll check in soon tho

[lyric tapir]

yeah lol

[keen siren]

Should just do a time range, itll release the week of June 1st

Gives u what u need but doesnt hold feet to fire

[slate flicker]

Any idea what time the update is

[past sentinel]

Don't even have to do that, it possible to share progress without giving any timeline of release

[keen siren]

In arks case, I like shadow dropping tbh

[fair wyvern]

only info we know is in #announcements

[daring pond]

Reactions still work in here 😂 in General there gone due to children behaving like children

[slate flicker]

Wish they would say so i knw if I have to recode my servers

[hazy flame]

"Promised lands of 5.5's might, Fell flat, a hollow light. Lies and dates, a shifting stage, Ark's players left in a waiting cage."

[tardy cape]

is osds still the best way to get ele and stuff

[hazy flame]

Yep

[tardy cape]

any clue how long a purple takes to wave 20

gonna start farming them after 5.5 but just need to learn a bit more bout them got the carchas and all never did one in asa tho

[glad citrus]

gatcha tower better if you have one, but for insta ele yeah osd/astroes is ur best bet

[hazy flame]

Lots of factors to consider like terrain where wilds get stuck and how many people you have

[tardy cape]

eh idk about that

Got 20 something ele gachas and get 500k dust a day

[glad citrus]

alpha astreos gives 900 smth ele, and the tribs are easy

[past trail]

took me and my tribe mate 8 hours for 100 waves

[glad citrus]

seems about right yeah, but you scale it much higher and run it more effectly and it will do alot

[glad citrus]

bad spot??

[hazy flame]

If you dont use a forcefield it goes faster.

[past trail]

na it was a pre good spot lol

[tardy cape]

so like 45 mins to a hour solo for wave 20

[glad citrus]

some of my tribe mates did a w50~ in like 40 min

[past trail]

depends how buggy the dinos are

[glad citrus]

should take like 20-1+h, depends on spot

[tardy cape]

oki not too bad then

[hazy flame]

Exactly the spot means alot

[tardy cape]

I take it astro doesn't have mek bps

[glad citrus]

there are like 3 good spots, everywhere else is shit lowkey

[glad citrus]

i would have to look but im pretty sure the osd drop tables are the same

[hazy flame]

Forcefields make it worse imo

[tardy cape]

Yh il have a look

[remote jasper]

when are yall gonna announce todays delay?

[glad citrus]

well, we aint devs so

[tardy cape]

#general dont get us slomoded

[daring pond]

One spot on extinction the metal nodes spawn 2 nodes into each other and it’s fire, I easily get mad metal there

[glad citrus]

metal

[past trail]

really?

[glad citrus]

they might ye

[tardy cape]

the osd forcefield or ur own

[past trail]

maybe thats why the dinos attack nothing in 1 spot the whole wave lmao

[glad citrus]

ai is bugyy asf so

[stiff chasm]

thats what im saying ive had to rebuild my fob the past 2 days waiting for that new ice cave

[daring pond]

Yea this autocorrect sucks

[marsh haven]

Anyone know update times or is it just targeted at late pst

[glad citrus]

some time in the next 2-8 h

[hazy flame]

Yea messes with the dino ai tracking and they seem to get stuck on everything

[daring pond]

Late night pacific time for now knowing wc

[tardy cape]

I'm planning for metal just getting 260% crafting gachas and just grinding the loot

Unlimited poly silica pearls and all

[glacial thorn]

we get a better ETA for update?

[tardy cape]

no guarantee could be in hours

[past sentinel]

Just make sure you get pings for #announcements

[glacial thorn]

gross, day off and was wanting to play but they keep pushing it out xD

[past sentinel]

Join the club, starting my work week tonight I'll check it out tomorrow if it actually drops

[tardy cape]

anything else I need to know about running solo osds

[verbal fern]

So I just saw some thing saying we should uncyro our Dino’s before the update ??

[hazy flame]

Use 3 behemoth gates good saddle and pyro on your shoulder

[glad citrus]

you dont want 260

its like 130 max u want

you dont wanna any higer

[tardy cape]

it's 160 for max reasorse

[glad citrus]

oh i miss read that

[tardy cape]

Then anything higher increases the armor and other ones

[glad citrus]

160 is still good for metal

[tardy cape]

Up to 260 I think

[glad citrus]

/poly (what its really used for)

[tardy cape]

metal gachas are meh compared to what u get to grinding asc gear

[glad citrus]

im not talking metal gachas, i meant the gear

[tardy cape]

Oh sorry XD

[glad citrus]

160 is still good for it, but like just go farm metal normally

[ivory vortex]

when could we potentially see the update?

[hazy flame]

Yep I just grind up everything from purple drops

[glad citrus]

check pins

[tardy cape]

it's most definitely easier

osds or abb and ur fine

[glad citrus]

much much worse lol, litteraly less than 5 min of farming and ill have more metal that the gatchas

[tardy cape]

yh I dont really see a point in gachas

[glad citrus]

center, island, astroes all good for metal

[glad citrus]

element and poly, thats litteraly it

[winter steppe]

Bumping this question

[tardy cape]

you can get like 20 dragon artys in a day

that's 10k ele

[glad citrus]

not even close

[normal raven]

What stats should I max for a megatherium that I use for chitin runs in swamp cave?

[tardy cape]

swear it's 500 per fight

[glad citrus]

also that needs an island and you have to acually do the fights, gacha towers can produce that afk

[hazy flame]

What server you play on i will run a osd with you. You keep loot oll keep meat lol

[glad citrus]

it might be, i did maths wrong in my head, its like 10k yeah

but 20 alpha dragons is alot

i was thinking gamma dragon for some reason

[tardy cape]

the hardest part is the giga hearts

[hazy flame]

Melee

[glad citrus]

just time consuimg

which towers are bassicly afk

[tardy cape]

but you can literally get a few every hours

[verbal fern]

So does anyone know if we have to throw out our tames from cryo ? Before the release of the update ?!

[daring pond]

I got lucky and got a bunch of giga hearts off a decay

[tardy cape]

yh I understand that but for afk gachas for me to make them worth my time I might just need to go to a server to go to 300 tame capp with just gachas

[sturdy heath]

If they are in vanilla cryos your fine

[verbal fern]

Thank you !!!

[glad citrus]

tame cap is more than 300, the tame cap in inventory is not dinos
tame cap is like 8k

[tardy cape]

I should be oki got 1.2k melee carcha without lvls

[past gazelle]

I have heard the opposite. Mine are all cryoed and fridges are on plain stone floor

[glad citrus]

it littteraly dosent matter guys

[past gazelle]

Only one out is oasisuar

[tardy cape]

8000 dinos so ur telling me I can have like 1000 gachas and 7000 owls

[hazy flame]

30k hp?

[glad citrus]

data wont be lost, they arent touching the data

[tardy cape]

yh

[glad citrus]

yeah, but that would cap the server

[tardy cape]

and probably lead to u getting banned

[glad citrus]

on unofficals prob, on officals nope

[tardy cape]

one day XD I shall try once island becomes dead dead

[glad citrus]

island isnt good for towers, there is no where to put them

on pvp at least

[sturdy heath]

People find places lol

[tardy cape]

I have mine literally floating on water

pve tho

[glad citrus]

yeah that wouldnt hold up on pvp lol

[glad citrus]

no, there litteraly isnt anywhere

[tardy cape]

yea 1 basi and ur screwed XD

[dusky plover]

So would it be best to uninstall ASA and just redownload once 5.5 is released or just let it patch over the install? Will the time taken to install/patch be quicker to patch or reinstall the newest version, or will that even matter?

[sturdy heath]

Once again pve

[tardy cape]

I meant if u clame lava there's plenty of space to put gachas in there with pegos

[glad citrus]

time = same
size = less

[glad citrus]

cant put them in caves

[dusky plover]

I figured so, regardless 180 gigs have to be downloaded

[glad citrus]

also there isnt enough space lowkey

[tardy cape]

Heh?

[hazy flame]

Yea you will be fine could even do with prim saddle of your careful

[wintry fox]

reinstall looses settings? so update?

[glad citrus]

you cannot put them in caves in asa

they will not make crystals

[tardy cape]

got 124 saddles

[dusky plover]

Fair point

[tardy cape]

interesting

didn't know that thanks

[glad citrus]

no it dosent

[obtuse fable]

Update 5.5 confirmed?

[glad citrus]

not on steam or console

[sturdy heath]

Confirmed yes.. when is still up in the air lol

[glad citrus]

settings are saved data, when u uninstall you dont remove saved data

[tardy cape]

the carchas regeneration is just way to much at 100 stacks so it will not die anytime soon XD

[wintry fox]

i didn't know how it works on console, so i made a question out of it
