[green valve]

patch notes but no update...GG

[strange quail]

Xbox got jipped someone call Bill

[peak glen]

Ooop Xbox still in the pending lol

[trail maple]

obviously captain sherlock. They dont need an approval

[silent matrix]

till we all update and log and all is broke

[candid pike]

So when’s the update supposed to be now ?

[somber stone]

i just needed the approval, spent too much on this pc for it be ignored 😔

[elfin orbit]

YESSSSSS

[peak glen]

They said this afternoon pst which god knows when that is

[tame jackal]

🗑️box

[jolly torrent]

no update on pc ?

[candid pike]

Ugh so never 😭

[idle onyx]

Update out now for ps5?

[peak glen]

No they waiting for Xbox to get its certification

[undone halo]

With xbox Thursday they do not mean next week right😭

[tame jackal]

Read the announcement…

[terse stump]

Pc and Ps5 get update in 3 hours, xbox have to wait till like 10 hours

lol

[undone halo]

Nooo

[jolly torrent]

wtf

[rich gate]

Y'all not seen the announcement 👀😂

[undone halo]

10 hours😭😭

[somber stone]

it will be back 2 hours after the update "source" trust wildcard man

[rustic sphinx]

surprise surprise same time dune is released !!!

[strange quail]

Waiting for Microsoft QA team to wake up... bankers hours over there

[sturdy heath]

Yay!

[solemn dawn]

i thought the patch notes would be bigger than this

[sage cargo]

So Microsoft failed Xbox owners I knew it wasn't Sony's fault

[rocky siren]

Its ok the update are here in steam ??

[jolly torrent]

realy ? in 10 hours ?

[strange quail]

Unfortunately, after watching the livestream the game looks about as bland as plain porridge

[grizzled plank]

all right, well i might go ahead and benchmark the 5.2 version just to compare with 5.5

[solemn dawn]

watch the fps being worse than before

[terse stump]

10 hours is just a guess but they said afternoon and it's like 6am pt rn

[strange quail]

Takes 3 business days for the NPCs in Dune to fight back

[peak glen]

Yeah Xbox taking the L

[spare folio]

The servers will be down for 2 hours and will be available again at 6 p.m.

[grizzled plank]

though, i have an 8GB card so it might not actually be fair

[rotund barn]

Clown company. You delay, delay and delay and then all you have to say for yourself is Oopsie poopsie here’s a cat gif to spam

[ember nymph]

Loll everyone complaining it’s always sony. Go blame Microsoft.

[tame jackal]

Always xbox taking their time.. remember my friend had to wait a week longer for updates on no man sky

[rustic sphinx]

nah i played it already its good

[hollow plume]

Omg y'all complain about everything

[tame jackal]

Only bcz of your console

[rich gate]

Cackling that the update tweet even covered their ass 😂

[peak glen]

They upload the certification on release day and expect them to approve it immediately which sucks cause it’s NEVER like that.

[dark dust]

I was going to say that... the anniversary is now live? Where?

[grizzled plank]

yeah, thankfully i have an AMD card so it cant be drasticly worse

[ember nymph]

Xbox has two consoles I bet you it’s an issue with s series.

[last perch]

No its not, its bland and boring. Brings nothing new.

[tame jackal]

They literally dont

[strange quail]

I trust you don't let me down

[rich gate]

Or I can blame the company that made the game, knows how long it takes their Devs to do anything, and how long it takes for cert after the finished file is submitted... 🤔😂

[visual quiver]

When does Update come out

[rotund barn]

That’s not the whole story. Think about how they have let official servers slip, think about how the optimization for beloved maps is non existent

[peak glen]

It makes sense tho cause it takes like 3 days to a week for it to be approved

[rugged bluff]

so what? can we download the update or not yet until they finished their patch?

[grizzled plank]

"We'll be taking the network offline at 4:00 PM to prepare the 5.5 update for Steam & PlayStation. Curseforge will also begin migrating the mod backend to 5.5 at this time as well. We expect the network to return by 6:00 PM." weird

[golden whale]

If it’s still in the cert process which means it can still possibly fail XD and have to be resubmitted. They need to stop with assumptions about it being released tonight.

[void barn]

ANOUNCEMENT

[dark dust]

when was that from

[plain bane]

I told yous servers are going down lol

[rustic sphinx]

id stream in discord but pat dont like streaming other games lol

[void barn]

afternoon pst

[tame jackal]

Xbox have always taken their time certifying game updates. In many games i have to wait a week for my friend on xbox to get the update

[grizzled plank]

like 10 minutes ago #announcements message

[ember nymph]

Steam and Sony had no issues and cert go up same time. I love Xbox fans complain saying it’s Sony but when it turns out to be Xbox they act like Microsoft don’t do anything wrong lol.

[jolly torrent]

now time or pst ?

[void barn]

so 6 hours

from now

[jolly torrent]

in german its 15:47 pm

[void barn]

its 7am in pst

[grizzled plank]

to me its always annoying when people have to point fingers, its just dumb IMO

[rich gate]

Not letting me react with a clown emote on the announcement is plain censorship 😂

[analog stump]

Microsoft XBOX as usual throwing a spanner in the works whenever ark has a big new update.

[void barn]

yep us in europe are gonna be getting it at the end of the day

[dark dust]

ty

[void barn]

if there arnt any more problems which is very unlikely lmao

[rugged bluff]

so they update is not live, it will be in about 3 hours for steam?

[plain bane]

Quarter to 3 in uk and I just hope we get to download the update when they take servers off coz it’s a big download some of you might be waiting longer 180gig lollll

[grizzled plank]

with such a big change there will be problems

[analog stump]

If you're playing on xbox, update is still in certification process for us.

[jolly torrent]

waiting 3 hours.

[spare folio]

how long do they stay down

[wispy narwhal]

It's coming to PlayStation steam Xbox American time so whatever time 10:00 is for you guys over here is when you will get it

[void barn]

100%

[plain bane]

I’m on ps5 pro and series x

[void barn]

im just hoping for tomorrow latest

[strange quail]

Ill have to invite you all to my discord for that stuff

[peak glen]

True but who knows sometimes it could be ps but I wouldn’t know that for sure. still doesn’t excuse Xbox at all for slacking.

[void barn]

so i can download it whilst im at work

[ember nymph]

@grizzled plank because it’s always like this, the last couple hours throwing shade at Sony and then act like they weren’t doing it. It happens every update. So yes I’ll point because you can’t attack one company and act all innocent when in fact it’s the console you like

[worn flax]

Fucking a, morning peeps

[peak glen]

I was actually hoping it dropped this morning cause I’m out all day and would’ve been perfect to install but welp I guess I gotta do it all night tonight

[analog stump]

Question to all the PS5 ans steam server owners... do you guys have access to nitrado boosting on your server?

[tame jackal]

Only time ps might have a hold up is when it involves mods

[fiery dew]

Is it still not out? 😂

[ebon shell]

Another trash launch haha so funny guys

[rocky talon]

Did I imagine that snow owls were coming to astraeos? I didn't see it in patch notes but I'm tired af

[worn flax]

Not for Xbox, it won’t be ready for Xbox till this afternoon.

[strange quail]

They are

[peak glen]

Probably. I ain’t disagreeing with that.

[rocky talon]

tysm

[solemn folio]

So wait do I install the mod to activate events now? Or do it in the game rules for single player?

[halcyon merlin]

Hah Xbox players gotta wait

[pliant tulip]

Why can't I see the update on steam?

[strange quail]

And everything in Abberation

[ebon shell]

It won't be rainy for Xbox today, come on. You believe what they say?

[livid thicket]

So sad for xboys they won’t be able to to defend their base 😩

[worn flax]

Hey that’s fine with me, I’m going to work soon anyway

[tame jackal]

Update isn’t out…

[halcyon merlin]

Oh yeah that’s true, rip Xbox players

[jolly torrent]

read announcements

[tame jackal]

In about 10 min the servers will go down

[winter ice]

8 min

[peak glen]

Xbox tribes shaking in their boots rn lol

[ember nymph]

@tame jackal that’s pretty accurate, any time mods are involved Sony will be annoying.

[plain bane]

That’s what I’m saying no download yet probably won’t be will rather servers go offline or when they back on

[tame jackal]

And in about 2 hours the update and servers will be out

[worn flax]

Turret walls, tunnels.

[warm sequoia]

update is GMT or PST?

[pliant tulip]

so it comes out at 11:00 for us?

[worn flax]

Pat

[strange quail]

Tbh they'll take the official servers down for several hours post launch anyway due to bugs crippling the game

[tame jackal]

Yeah they don’t like em, especially with these restricted amounts of GB dedicated to mods

[worn flax]

PST

[warm sequoia]

that's what I thought, lol 8 minutes

[oak spire]

Rip x box players

[radiant stone]

Si sa qualcosa dell aggiornamento???

[tame jackal]

The time you see in announcements is your time when it releases

[worn flax]

Yeah I’m gonna get ready for work tho. Y’all have fun!

[dark kiln]

So the update will be out between 3pm and 5pm BST?

[ember nymph]

@tame jackal one thing annoyed me back in the day when playing Skyrim, mods suck

[livid thicket]

My friend is gonna be mad if they don’t give her memory increase on PlayStation.

[jade flame]

You guys could have released this 2 days ago. We knew xbox was the problem

[strange quail]

Servers go down for Ark the exact moment their newest competitor goes live, smart choice

[peak glen]

Yeah you right. I don’t do pvp anymore so i don’t really care anyways lol

[ebon shell]

Good thing I don't buy Astraeos again lol. Almost got me with the discount but not biting with the delays. Same story when it launched originally

[dark kiln]

competitor? Who?

[oak spire]

Good you lose 😂

[strange quail]

Dune Awakening

[jolly torrent]

in 2 hours.

[rustic sphinx]

6 mins

[plucky pasture]

Are we suppose to uninstall and then reinstall after the update?

[last perch]

Def not a competitor lol

[dark kiln]

Uhhhhh okay, not the same type of game lmao

[peak glen]

No it should just be one huge update

[coarse kernel]

Dune is not a competition

[strange quail]

Uninstall ark and install Dune, fixes all the bugs in Ark

[peak glen]

Bruuuh

[ionic solar]

im super happy the update is dropping on the superior platforms. ty WC!

[rustic sphinx]

dune is a survival game just like ark ... just no dinos lol

[strange quail]

Idk, open world, base building, chuck in some dinos you got scorched earth

[ember nymph]

Dune more a competitor for rust than it’s to ark.

[grizzled plank]

"competitor" ??????

[coarse kernel]

Scorched earth is also trash map

[void barn]

btw does anyone here play ark on linux. How well does it run etc?

[strange quail]

Tbh Arks biggest enemy is its own launches. Only thing killing Ark is itself at this point

[peak glen]

I don’t really care if dune does good or not. Don’t really matter to me cause I’m still and ark player. So if it does well, good on them.

[storm crane]

can you still play the anniversary event on dedicated servers after the event has ended like the other holiday events where we use mods

[grizzled plank]

Well it doesn't have vulkan so IDK

[trail maple]

straight up lie.

[vast ether]

Taking the network offline at 10:00 AM to prepare the 5.5 update.

But what PST or EST?

[peak glen]

I don’t really see a point in comparing the games if the concepts are different

[ember nymph]

The only game even tho it’s different that would’ve been a competitor to ark was Conan exiles but they flopped that.

[ionic solar]

it shows ur time

[grizzled plank]

Though what i do know is that you wont be able to use FSR 4 on linux

[plucky pasture]

I want Ragnarok!

[ebon shell]

Oh it shows your timezone

[last perch]

To be honest it really does not say its releasing today, just says they are preparing to release it.

[coarse kernel]

If you like scorched earth then you like dune 😂 🤡

[ember nymph]

@plucky pasture we’ll get excited for a July launch

[void barn]

rip. My new build i was gonna use primary linux because im gonna need it for work but ill just dual boot

[trail maple]

No dune looks boring af

[tame jackal]

The time you see is your time!

[ionic solar]

not for xbox though

[dark kiln]

The sandworms love to fly in dune lmao

[terse stump]

dune is just rust with sand

[rugged bluff]

nothing beats minecraft

[strange quail]

Releases on time though... infact it released 5 days early for people with cash 🤷‍♂️

[ebon shell]

It's fine there's other things to do. It's not like I play official anymore

[coarse kernel]

Scorched is boring

[trail maple]

Thats not really something you can praise a company for as its common practice

[proven hatch]

When i can except sale on steam for asa? I need to wait 3 weeks until summer sale on steam ?

[trail maple]

Unless company is wildcard

[strange quail]

Not here its not

[main field]

What is the minimum attack we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[ember nymph]

@void barn I’d defo do both os if I was needing Linux

[main field]

What is the minimum attack we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[tender cipher]

should i buy asa even if ima play alone? (my friends have trash pc)

[main field]

What is the minimum attack we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[grizzled plank]

For work you'd probably have been better off with NVIDIA (well assuming that your job takes GPU power) just cuz NVIDIA is much better for that

[dark kiln]

Notice how the only people mentioning scorched earth are also the ones calling it bad?

[main field]

What is the minimum attack we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[strange quail]

Get new friends

[main field]

What is the minimum attack we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[tender cipher]

i mean i could play with my brother

[main field]

What is the minimum attack we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[peak glen]

Hey I like scorched. Even tho it’s a way smaller map I still enjoy it

[void barn]

yeah already ordered a smaller size ssd for both os

[main field]

What is the minimum attack we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[trail maple]

stfu

[coarse kernel]

Maybe you'll like dune

[terse stump]

are you ai?

[strange quail]

ASA is good if your PC can handle it, if not I'd stick to ASE

[tame jackal]

Bro what?

[void barn]

im gonna be working in IT so i wont really need a powerful gpu. also heard amd support for linux is very easy compared to nvdia

[dark kiln]

Wellll the update is introducing a performance mode soooo

[main field]

We can change the damage dinos can make…

[rustic sphinx]

i have potato i run asa jussst fine

[main field]

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[sturdy heath]

Potato mode

[main field]

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[dark kiln]

Yeah lol

[tame jackal]

That’s a stupid question

[strange quail]

Its wildcard bro, that performance mode could turn a 5090 into a nuke

[main field]

Why ?

[proven hatch]

When sale on steam ?

[ember nymph]

@tender cipher I don’t play with my mates because they won’t buy Asa. I play singleplayer and met some friends on big community servers when they have them up. Then play with those friends when community server not up.

A lot of YouTubers have servers like monarky big community and that’s how I play.

[grizzled plank]

Ugh

[tame jackal]

So you want to damage a dino and then tame it?

[dark kiln]

They mentioned a 1080 can run it

[foggy cypress]

Guys, Is Update On Steam Got Out?

[dark kiln]

2 more hours probably

[void barn]

in 2-3 hours

[trail maple]

Coding and IT is done best done on Linux. Gpu is not impotant you will need cpu and ram

[main field]

Nah we can change the power of the damage from the dino…

[last perch]

It does not say its releasing now it says "they are preparing to release it".

[strange quail]

They said it could run it, but for how long before it melted

[main field]

Like how strong they attack us

[grizzled plank]

Which is a lot slower than current gen low end cards so...

[boreal jewel]

Curseforge just said the update is coming to Xbox "in a few days"

[tame jackal]

What? Okay what do you want to do

[ember nymph]

lol

[oak spire]

That’s what I gathered too 😂 we all probably gonna get it same time as Xbox

[void barn]

yep ive got a decent budget build prepared but will upgrade once i start my job in 3-4 months

[dark kiln]

Well duh

[frank carbon]

[plain bane]

RIP xbox

[grizzled plank]

GPUs don't melt

[strange quail]

Tell that to the Gigabyte cards that did

[trail maple]

Technically as long as your gpu can launch the engine you trying to work on its gucci

[fallow bane]

I mean Ark can already run fairly smooth on a 2070 so potato mode going back one more gen makes sense

[brazen cedar]

so to get it right the update will be downloadable at 1600 pst?

[ember nymph]

If wildcard was smart they’ll keep official offline till Xbox gets up

[strange quail]

Those Gigabyte cards are still in therapy

[grizzled plank]

Well, you know, last gen it was just as fast soo....

[kindred lava]

Hey, seriously trying to make heads and tails of the announcement. Are my servers going to need to wait until the Xbox version is released before coming back online? Do I need to manually stop them to prevent Nitrado from loading them up after patching? Need some clarity to avoid problems for my members.

[winter ice]

so Ubdate in 2 hours?

[dark kiln]

Yep

[unborn oak]

Is it downloadable or should I go to sleep

[sleek whale]

performance mode renamed to pvp mode when

[oak spire]

Sleep

[unborn oak]

Ight

[pearl quartz]

Sony has had quite a bit more downtime on ASA than MS has due to cert problems. Had 3 instances when patches have run late or just bugged to hell and PS has not had access for the entire weekend only once, now twice on Xbox.

[fallow bane]

Patch notes dropped, dunno bout download. Id need to go to my car and get my laptop to see steam

[strange quail]

Performance mode just makes it look like the mobile version

[dark kiln]

Last gen as in 30 series?

40?

[grizzled plank]

40*

[fallow bane]

40 series and 50 series have similar benchmarks no? Just the AI framegen?

[grizzled plank]

4060 was barely faster than a 1080 IIRC

[fallow bane]

1080ti super id assume

[dark kiln]

They're generally better than the 40 series but the 5080 was barely an improvement

[grizzled plank]

Current gen low end cards doesn't automatically mean NVIDIA

[main field]

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[amber mantle]

just google 1 second and find out that the 4060 smashes the 1080 into pieces

[serene turret]

This is actually a good question. \

[main field]

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[fallow bane]

Touche the framegen is more of an Nvidia specific thing

[main field]

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[rocky siren]

Hello, the update are comming in 2 hours ? (Sorry im not english)

[lucid gate]

ti super doesnt exist for the 1080

[grizzled plank]

With FG ? Sure. Otherwise ? Nope

[main field]

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[proven hatch]

Will be today sale on steam ?

[main field]

What is the minimum damage we can put to dino and still tame them ?

[amber mantle]

is it so hard for you to google 1080 vs 4060 benchmark ? these people nowadays are just silly.

[dark kiln]

Bro please try google or I think bobs with probs channel

I have no idea what you mean lmao

[ember nymph]

To all pc players I wouldn’t recommend using the save backup since it’s beta. Keep manually backing them up. Console players my best advice is good luck.

[tame jackal]

Go to bobs with probs

[grizzled plank]

50 series is just a 40 series refresh

[main field]

What is that ?

[dark dust]

any Steam Players getting the update downloading yet?

[tame jackal]

A chat where bobs like you can ask for problems

[dark kiln]

With another 25% price increase lmao

[pearl quartz]

the channel below this one

[main field]

Ty

[fallow bane]

Oh yeah it was ti founders

[pearl quartz]

welcome mate

[grizzled plank]

the 4060 is 25% faster, i just haven't looked it up in a while

[rich ermine]

ugh no cat dossier fixed.... guess no 10 levels

[rich ermine]

not yet

[grizzled plank]

Though the 1080 TI IS as fast

[copper tapir]

You guys/girls happy now i em atleast for now.

[lucid gate]

no new build yet from looking on steamdb

[low bobcat]

patch notes no patch

[kindred lava]

Yeah, and nitrado is recommending I keep my whole cluster shut off until the Xbox version update is released. 😵‍💫

At least my members were still able to play. Now they'll have no access to the cluster until xbox maybe passes certs?

[copper tapir]

Xbox got delayed

[grizzled plank]

Well, its 50€ knocked off for the MSRP of each card
But IRL price is different

[fallow bane]

What was their logic, fairness or stability?

[serene turret]

I feel this. but on the other hand at least they have an answer for you.

[tepid turret]

How long till it's updated anyone know

[grizzled plank]

Though, i guess the 5060 is the same price as the 4060 so...

[lucid gate]

probably stability as they don't want to deal with support tickets if it isnt needed

[copper tapir]

Read the notes

[little prism]

i have a 4060 Ti idk if thats good

[dark kiln]

wasn't the 4090 msrp 1500 and 5090 2000?

[last perch]

UPDATE is not out for at least 2 more hours, go touch grass for a bit.

[fallow bane]

I'd say by 9a PST (next 2 hrs)

[serene turret]

Naw it's because the people that play on xbox dinos could die if they can't get on for multiple days because of the update.

[lucid gate]

3060 performance no?

[tepid turret]

Cool I can go do other stuff then thanks

[ember nymph]

@grizzled plank to be fair anyone who bought a none super card are kinda dumb. I won’t ever compare 40 super series to base 50 series. It’s like comparing iPhone 16 pro to a iPhone 17 it’s almost the same performance because it’s the same chip but the 16 pro still better for the features. So yes 50 series is a little faster than 40 super cards but the 50 super will be much better.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the 5080 super, tho rumours are going around of a 5080 ti with more vram but not sure.

[grizzled plank]

8 or 16GB ?

[terse stump]

yeah f that, i'll risk it

[fallow bane]

So fairness, gotcha. We're doing a Map Reset with 5.5 so that don't matter!

[edgy cape]

wheres the update?

[lucid gate]

what features?

[copper tapir]

The servers should be going down soon be back up at 9am

[serene turret]

Not everyone wants to do map resets. :p I can understand them wanting to keep their hard work.

[lucid gate]

not up yet

[little prism]

8 i think i couldnt afford the other

[grizzled plank]

Its 14% faster than a 3060 and 3% slower than a 4060

[edgy cape]

oh ok ty

[little prism]

it says dedicated gpu memory is 8 but shared is 15.8

[lucid gate]

its definetely more like 15% slower than a 4060

[grizzled plank]

That's an exception (there are 2 of which)

[fallow bane]

Oh 100%

We rarely do, but with how volatile this patch may potentially be and having to swap out M+ due to lack of support. It was just a good excuse

[rocky fox]

When is the celebration update for asa?
Or do i have to get it from a mod???
Or what???????

[kindred lava]

Not sure really. Likely stability. Still need to wait for mod updates too or enough will break that it'll wreck my cluster.

[serene turret]

I'm still trying to find out when the update is actually pushed because i have to do a fresh install of Ark... and with my internet it is going to take me over a day of downloading

[rugged bluff]

network down time has been delayed 😂

[lucid gate]

wait for the update to drop

[molten sky]

Anyone else on pc not able to go to the menu without the game crashing?

[fallow bane]

They wait too much longer, my cluster will be too busy with Dune

[grizzled plank]

Shared is VRAM and 50% of RAM combined
Anyway, the 8GB version is trash IMO

[novel pilot]

is it fine to play ark with already downloaded mods i have on single player?

[elfin orbit]

let's gooo Team Dollie!!

[grizzled plank]

3% i checked a benchmark site i trust

[ember nymph]

@lucid gate of the phones? Because the previous pro models have better cameras and such especially if you compare the max to the default of the new gen. The new gen has same chip but also smaller battery

[fallow bane]

I'd uninstall and reinstall post update just to be safe

[rocky fox]

Its supposed to be here its 5 june bro

[little prism]

well i got my ark at super high graphics and it runs perfect so i like it

[dark kiln]

Funny how not even 12 gb of vram is enough to run games at around 1080p to 1440p

[copper tapir]

@serene turret they should be taking down server now 7am and should be back up hopefully 9am

[dark kiln]

MODERN games just to clarify

[peak spade]

aaeuuugh

[lucid gate]

I know but it's not up on steam yet

[timber idol]

cant wait for the update

my laptop cant too

[copper tapir]

Xbox got delayed till thursday

[ember nymph]

Whatever the time says for you give it an hour before downloads lol.

[lucid gate]

does anyone know if I can compress game files of ASA like on
ASE?

[dark kiln]

Don't worry potato mode comes with the update

[copper tapir]

Time to raid them xbox bases

[timber idol]

YEESSSSSS

[grizzled plank]

Its fine for most games
This one ? Not so much

[rocky fox]

What are the platforms its up in?

[dark kiln]

Yeah lmao

[pseudo token]

Steam seems like it hasn't gotten it yet

[timber idol]

my 2050 and 16 gigs of ram can play finallly

[ember nymph]

@copper tapir maybe apparently someone said nitrado said not for couple days.

[lucid gate]

well it should be up on steam 🤷‍♀️

[serene turret]

Right, but exactly when they add the patch to the download on steam is what I am waiting on. I don't want to download the game then have to download 100gb again on top of that. XD I only recently got ASA so...

[pseudo token]

So much about all at the same time :D

[rocky fox]

Ima die mate

[timber idol]

also acro when?

[pseudo token]

I guess everything should come in the next hour

[lucid gate]

was talking about nvidia gpus, why not compare a super model to base?

[lusty vigil]

not up on steam yet

at lest for me

[copper tapir]

@serene turret the 5.5 make it to where you wont have to download every map you will get to pick which ones, atleast thays there plan.

[ember nymph]

@lucid gate because they overhaul the models increase performance and all that. Think of the base models as beta testers and then they optimise their gpus for the super.

[timber idol]

i was on a server where the carno island was a mega base. i had to get the admins to TP me away bc i could move from the frame loss

[serene turret]

Oh the correct answer for that is "All"

[lucid gate]

okay but it's not THAT big of a differnce tbh

[pseudo token]

Pay to win LUL

[chilly gyro]

Cant wait for my Series S to die to the new 5.5🥀

[grizzled plank]

Yeah, true, butNVIDIA isn't an option in the low end at this point IMO
AMD is just better in the 200-800€ price range at this point, NVIDIA is only for the very high end these days
And I like most people don't have enough money for that

[scenic dune]

can my 7800xt run this game at atleast 30 fps? boguht it and want to make sure it can actually run the game so far running cyberpunk at 130 fps max settings

[lucid gate]

I wonder if ASA will be playable on my macbook now (crashes on current update when spawning in)

[timber idol]

who here wants the acrocanthosaurus to come to ASA without mods

[chilly gyro]

Wait backup saves?🤑

[ember nymph]

@lucid gate sometimes it is a big difference. Like the 5080 is a beast in overclocking so they can just up the clocks for default to get it to be even better

[royal sapphire]

xbox players waking up on the beach after update

[grizzled plank]

4K ? No.
1440p/1080p Yeah.

[dense flame]

In the video, they showed the R seeds, so why aren’t they mentioned in the patch notes?

[lusty vigil]

its a pain to tame unless u have multiple people helping you

[ember nymph]

@grizzled plank that’s definitely true for lower ends but intel maybe take the lead for budget builds. They definitely making them appealing for that range.

[timber idol]

nah its really fun

[chilly gyro]

It kinda easy tho just run pump and run pump

it way slower than the player

[royal sapphire]

meat plant is club exclusive or maybe cosmetic skin to look like it

[timber idol]

running away from it is jusy so fun idk

[lucid gate]

they still need to release their new models of battlemage

[timber idol]

the chills you get down your spine when is rage roars

[lucid gate]

but that's why OC cards exist... that's not a super model

[grizzled plank]

The 9070's are also beastly in OC, I've seen the 9070XT as fast as the 5080 with OC, which is really cool IMO

[foggy parcel]

how do yall feel about the aquaitca trailer?

[lucid gate]

more AI yay

[timber idol]

ehh

they could of done better if they put in effort

without AI

[lusty vigil]

true i just haven't bothered with it anymore since i have max mutated tek giga's and my carcha's are almost done as well

[somber rapids]

Did they release the update yet?

[chilly gyro]

Hoping the helicoprion come to official game❤️

[lucid gate]

not for xbox

[timber idol]

on offical?

[lusty vigil]

facts that ai crap made it look so unrealistic

[chilly gyro]

How much is the Update?

[somber rapids]

What about for Microsoft pc

[warm gull]

so its 6pm (UTC Paris) ?

[lucid gate]

even AI video generators hallucinate

[timber idol]

yeah ik like three hands and feet floppers?

i dont have the update

[lucid gate]

look at the announcement...

[lusty vigil]

nope unofficial i needed something to spend my 40k in ele on

[timber idol]

when does it come out

[lusty vigil]

yep

[timber idol]

ahh

[ionic solar]

read #announcements everybody gets update EXCEPT XBOX or Microsoft Store. so keep waiting

[timber idol]

what server

[lusty vigil]

i guess its based on time zone

[lucid gate]

anytime now

[timber idol]

i need something else then offical to play

[lucid gate]

nothing on steam yet

[timber idol]

kk

[lusty vigil]

Arky lodge its a sever i play on its pve 2X

[wide steppe]

I think they are saying they are waiting on Xbox certs to go thru. But they are shutting everything down then releasing all at once one the Xbox cert goes thru

[lucid gate]

can I host an asa server in a docker container

[timber idol]

aight ill try

[ionic solar]

wrong. it will be live when xbox is waiting

[grizzled plank]

I don't like intel cards BC of the CPU overhead, which is especially bad for older systems
Like the B580 + 3600 combo absolutely wastes the B580 which makes it a non option for me and many others
Plus the B580 is actually like 300/350€ which then goes to the
"why not just get a 9060XT" situation IMO

[ember nymph]

@grizzled plank yeah, I know I want a 5080ti super that’ll be my dream. I’m always going nvidia since I use a lot of their software on a daily basis. I just want a 5080 with 24gb vram and it seems it might come true either with ti or the super.

[lucid gate]

they mostly fixed the overhead IIRC

[stable widget]

should i get astraeos

[tropic ingot]

Yes

[timber idol]

well since i messed up my sleep sced ima go to sleep at 9am witch is now

[ionic solar]

wait for Rag

[grizzled plank]

I don't think they've done anything so far

[sturdy heath]

Depends if you like super easy dump all maps.

[stable widget]

i suck at ark so yeah

[timber idol]

also whos ready for sagnarok?

[lusty vigil]

ill send u the link the servers aren't up right now it will probably take us a day to get them up we just need to test everything to make sure the mods that we use are in good working order that we use.

[safe quest]

the update is out yes?

[latent geyser]

Still no mod storage expansion for PlayStation??

[sturdy heath]

Then it’s perfect

[timber idol]

kk

[lyric loom]

is rag coming in this update?

[lusty vigil]

yes im ready for rag one of my favorite maps

[lucid gate]

nope

[stable widget]

ok cool

[sturdy heath]

Never was

[alpine gate]

no update yet

[timber idol]

wait

[void barn]

literlly this. i have a 3600 and planning on upgrading to a 7500f but ive seen in benchmarks that even the 7500f can bottleneck the b580

[fair sentinel]

how many time to the update on steam. S1 know?

[pseudo token]

Yeah I keep restarting Steam every 5 minutes :LUL

[lucid gate]

as in amd or intel?

[void barn]

whats the point in a budget gpu when u need an expensive cpu

[timber idol]

will the server have the paleo apex pred mod?

[void barn]

amd 7500f

[lucid gate]

o okay

[lusty vigil]

probably not as we have never heard of it

[timber idol]

and acro?

[low gazelle]

The 50xx series is barely faster than the 40xx series.

[timber idol]

what?

[lusty vigil]

yes we have the acro

[pseudo token]

I rather buy an expensive CPU first with the fitting mainboard and a cheaper GPU since replacing a GPU is easier later down the line

[timber idol]

okay lets friggin goo

[ember nymph]

@low gazelle the base line is true, also 40 series base sucked as well.

[void barn]

yeah but the b580 was advertised as a budget alternative to the 4060

[tawny compass]

When updated

[timber idol]

the paleo apex mod does replace the giga and the rex for the "paleo" ones

[lucid gate]

prices for them suck, that mostly

[void barn]

someone whos going for a budget gpu will most likely have a budget cpu too

[grizzled plank]

but back then it was mostly the price, not the gen on gen perf uplift

[low gazelle]

I have a 4080 super and its has fast as the 5080

[timber idol]

so if you do add it be careful

[stable widget]

i was playing ark survival descended lol

[stiff fiber]

Im waiting for the update to come first ^^

[lusty vigil]

ah yea thats a mod we never looked into we dont really add creature mods tbh i know we have the moro rex and the royal owl griffin mod

[timber idol]

the giga is friggin cool but thats understandable

hey im talking to him

[elfin orbit]

Can't wait for new updates..

[timber idol]

but yeah ig we can take to dms

[exotic vector]

anyone one steam updating yet ?

[stable widget]

is the update out?

[fresh saffron]

Hello, does anyone know when we will be able to play the new part of the Astraeos map?

[lucid gate]

no

[lusty vigil]

nope

[lucid gate]

update not out yet 🤷‍♀️

[exotic vector]

rip

[cobalt fossil]

my babies finna starve

[grizzled plank]

*almost as fast
the 5080 is certainly a bit faster but its not much

[peak glen]

I was ok like 2 minutes ago but now I feel like imma crash out over the delays

[lucid gate]

blame wildcard for not submitting certs earlier...

[fallen kraken]

Has the game been updated? How long has it been updated?

[pseudo forge]

Is Astraeos good? Im thinking of buying it but idk

[cobalt fossil]

no but all official servers are down right now so they can update them, update probably releases for us after the servers come back

[frail acorn]

Astraeos isn’t including with bobs tales right?

[tame jackal]

We don’t even know when they submitted it

[lucid gate]

probably monday or sum

[clever hearth]

Really?

[rotund kelp]

Astraeos is far from good

[tame jackal]

We literally don’t know. It could of been a week before or the same day. What we do know is that it is xbox delaying it

[lucid gate]

because wildcard submitted certs too close to their targeted eta

[rugged bluff]

or it could have been since August 2024

[tough yarrow]

No, it is not. Bob's Tall Tales is a separate DLC

[peak glen]

Seems like they did it on Friday considering it was supposed to be out on Monday so business days shenanigans

[tame jackal]

Exactly

[pseudo token]

Does any platform have the update already or no?

[scenic dune]

so like does this update improve performance or what

[rich gate]

They claim so

[cobalt fossil]

no, but all official servers are being updated as we speak

[lucid gate]

didnt they claim 25% increase?

[pseudo token]

Well that's good news

[rich gate]

In practice? Probably as much as the ASA "record" did

[rugged bluff]

hopefully. in 5.5 there's something called megalight that improve light bouncing performance by a lot.

[tame jackal]

In ue5.5 how lumen and other stuff works has been greatly improved

[tough yarrow]

Make sure to keep it about Ark, off-topic comments may be removed. This channel is not general.

[pseudo token]

I am only excited for this update due to the performance improvements. If that doesn't cut it I will be disappointed

[alpine gate]

so when will the update be live for ark?

[cobalt fossil]

does any one know if the official servers will get rolled back at all? I have baby dinos out rn

[tough yarrow]

#patch-notes

[peak glen]

Oop Xbox certified it

[hearty zephyr]

That says its live now, but it isnt

[peak glen]

So in a couple hours it’ll be out

[pseudo token]

Noice

[lucid gate]

how does the 3060 perform in asa btw?

[serene turret]

There ya go, now it will be across all servers. 😄

[alpine gate]

that dosent say when the update will be live it just says they are taking the servers down

[tough yarrow]

#announcements, it is shortly

[tame jackal]

2 hours

[ember nymph]

@tame jackal seen the tek lights look good but didn’t really look into it more. Would you say this update will make lighting the house up better? Since launch I’ve never bothered with lights and just got use to gamma 3-5

[peak glen]

Or maybe in an hour if it’s quick

[alpine gate]

no mention of when it will actually be live

[peak glen]

Could be lucky with it

[austere aurora]

never ending asking same thing

[alpine gate]

just says servers are goin down from 9 am to 11 am

[tough yarrow]

Happens, it is normal

[pseudo token]

Also can we just give a shoutout to Svala for using Discords time format thingy instead of PST

[austere aurora]

it is like they cant read

[pseudo token]

Finally I don't have to do math

[lucid gate]

so what I should get from this is that the update would be live in an hour and 30 minutes?

[ember nymph]

Goodnews for Xbox players it seem

[hallow thunder]

Is any steam person downloading now ?

[pseudo token]

An hour or two I would expect, yeah

[tough yarrow]

Yes

[lucid gate]

okay

[pseudo token]

I don't see it yet

[dense helm]

Does the unofficial servers get updated automatically rn? So I can get on as soon as I download it?

[tame jackal]

That would depend on how they have implemented the lights in ue5, though having multiple lights shouldn’t impact performance as much as it has

[tough yarrow]

Give it a bit for them to update with the xbox cert

[plucky comet]

Is the update there yet on ps?

[warm nacelle]

i will laugh real hard if switching to 5.5 corrupts the saved game files, and we will have to start from day 1. but i would also be excited. would make it fun again. right now its just blow up bases and stacking loot ull never use

[rugged bluff]

well it will take about 8 hours for me to download the game anyway

[ember nymph]

@tame jackal na not performance, never used them because they barely lit up the place and max settings just made the lights very bright but not light the house up much.

[grizzled plank]

for AMD this gen is massive
the 9070 XT is on par with the 7900 XTX
a card that has 50% more cores more VRAM bandwidth more VRAM in general and an MSRP of 1000$
yet, in RT its 26% faster and in raster its only 6% slower for 600$ (MSRP)
while the 9060 XT is as fast as the 7700 XT while having less bandwidth and 68% less cores (consuming 90 watts less) and costing 100€ less MSRP to MSRP
despite that its 38% faster in RT which, also means that it matches the 7900 XT in RT (a card that has 162% more cores and a LOT more of everything)
plus FSR 4 is a MASSIVE improvement over FSR 3.1 in image quality

[dense helm]

Was confused cause my server usually resets at a different time. So with the update going live for unofficial automatically or the admin has to do it?

[terse stump]

it should auto do it like any other major update

[ember nymph]

For all the Xbox players

Hey Xbox folks, good news! Xbox has passed final certification and will now roll out in tandem with all other platforms once we've completed our back-end UE5.5 migration with the servers and our partners at Curseforge

(the time in the post above represents your local time)

<@&992529417844826182>

[tame jackal]

Oh well then that will most likely only depend on IF they increase the light level on those lights.

[ember nymph]

I feel it’s getting pushed back now lol

[fallen kraken]

I heard the update takes 2 hours?

[rugged bluff]

guys just use gamma 100

[lucid gate]

is FG still enabled by default?

[coarse flame]

is it out?

[tough yarrow]

#announcements

[mental minnow]

is the update out on steam?

[alpine garnet]

Is the update US time?

[pearl quartz]

nope

[idle onyx]

How can I install tekboxes in the floor without the boxes sticking out above the floor?🤔

[pseudo token]

Not yet. Prolly take another hour or two

[alpine gate]

#announcements dosent say anything abt a time frame

[ember nymph]

@rugged bluff that was my first test to see how high the numbers go lol. Disappointed it was only 5

[tough yarrow]

The post in #announcements is converted to your local timezone.

[wintry fox]

there are some good yt's on how to do that

[fallen kraken]

Why haven't I found any updated messages?

[grizzled plank]

now, of course 9060 XT matching the 7900 XT (IN RT) isnt as big of a deal when you add NVIDIA to the mix
but its still a massive upgrade from AMD's last gen (which DID SUCK in RT)

[alpine gate]

just says the servers are goin down from 9 am to 11 am

[tough yarrow]

Can move it to dms or general.

[lucid gate]

amd glazer omg

[idle onyx]

Ok thanks 🙂

[uneven flume]

When is rag out?

[tough yarrow]

June 18

[void barn]

steam has updated the ark download from 188 to 208

[alpine gate]

18th of june hopefully

[void barn]

so does that mean its available?

[alpine garnet]

Oh awesome I didn’t realise that, happy days!

[tough yarrow]

#announcements/ #patch-notes

[fallen kraken]

After this update, there should be colored dinosaurs

[still swift]

Is the 5.5 out at 5pm or now?

[void barn]

thanks

[ember nymph]

So is it still Wednesday night somewhere in the world? Maybe we can be lenient a little bit.

[alpine gate]

not sure when the update is live at this point

[tame jackal]

#announcements will tell you everything

[alpine gate]

just still waiting

[uneven flume]

Thank you

[brisk crown]

so in a hour 15 min im assuming ?

[tough yarrow]

Yep

[sage cargo]

Xbox is the weakest link 🤣

[dark dust]

What does that mean

[coarse flame]

is the update avaiable in 1 hour 15 min?

[void barn]

i think its available for download now

[alpine gate]

xbox is the main reason for all this stupid xbox certs

[tough yarrow]

Should be yes, #announcements

[lucid gate]

its not

[brisk crown]

man do i wish they added a rockdrake trench into the new abb cave,still excited tho

[last perch]

maybe

[cunning kernel]

Between now and 5pm. The servers will start coming back up at 5 so will be any time between then

[dark dust]

Any steam player update us here once you start the download

[hollow plume]

Lol so Microsoft isn't the problem after all

[tough yarrow]

If you mean Astraeos, it is up to Nekatus

[alpine gate]

nope just xbox

[alpine garnet]

Might as well release Rag too 😁😉

[shadow torrent]

can we have context with when you mean 5... its 8pm for me,.. XD

[hallow ivy]

Patchnotes clearly state it’s green area dinos

[native olive]

servers are open at 5 am?

[alpine gate]

us steam players have to suffer cux xbox cant get there stuff together

[brisk crown]

make sense ig

[cunning kernel]

So for you between now and 10pm

[meager rose]

just went and bought a ps5

[leaden rover]

The time is local. So whatever times in the post it’s local to your time zone

[hallow ivy]

The time in the announcement directly and automatically converts to your device’s timezone

[ember nymph]

Am I the only one since Xbox passed cert now it’s gonna get pushed back to sort them out

[alpine gate]

will be hoping the update is out in the next hour but im not holding my breath when it comes to wildcard

[sage cargo]

Well if it's out at 12pst then that's 3pm est

[foggy cypress]

how much time remaining for the steam players to get update

[alpine gate]

at least an hr

[mental notch]

Is the update supposed to be out on steam?

[dark dust]

The magic question lol

[alpine gate]

not yet

steam update will be at least another hour its gonna be that for every platform

[severe creek]

How do I get the fire pig?

[safe quest]

it looks like nobody has gotten the update yet

[shadow torrent]

yeah that don't work for me.. I behind VPN XD but I now seen the post and understand.. I was refering to the comment saying 5pm..

[tame jackal]

Not even worth telling people to go on announcements and look when it is out. A new one asking comes 1 min later and doesn’t read above

[meager rose]

good thing i kept the reciept for my playstation, just got back from wal mart

[silk holly]

When does rag come?

[foggy scaffold]

June 18

[severe creek]

June 18th but expect delays

[alpine gate]

the 18th of june

[shadow torrent]

July 1st XD

[static gorge]

So July 15th probably

[alpine gate]

but prob wil lget delayed 10 times from that date

[meager rose]

june 5th

[inland moat]

tame daedon and put it on campfire

[tame jackal]

Probably next year if they want it on xbox at the same time🤣

[hallow thunder]

Im tweaking Ahahahahah

JE VAIS LES MANGER

[alpine gate]

i mean its june 5th now and we still dont even have the 5.5 update that was supposed to happen on the 2nd of june

[fickle arrow]

WildCard must be banging their head.
Day 1: Update delayed so XBox can pass cert first and all update at the same time
Day 2: Update delayed again so Xbox can cert
Day 3: Fine, we'll update Steam and PS5 first, then Xbox later

30 Minutes later

Oh Xbox cert passed! hold all horses, we release simultaneously again

[jade badger]

So when will Xbox get the update

[foggy scaffold]

Gotta go back much farther than that, in it's history I don't think anything they've announced has ever made it to the player base on time. 😛

[alpine gate]

wildcard is a dumpster fire company wish ark got made by a good company that woulda done it so much better

the same time as everyone else gets the update

[upper zodiac]

Do we have any idea if the base requirements are going to be changing with this update to 5.5?

[tight sparrow]

Xbox dont get update 😭

[rugged bluff]

being rich

[sage cargo]

Forget Xbox just release for PlayStation and steam and when Xbox is fully ready drop it

[alpine gate]

the update will come out for all platforms at the same time

[shadow torrent]

This update and Rag playability is the only thing keeping me on Ark at the moment... if it runs like shit I'll throw my dino reins on the hook and walk off into the sunset

[lapis bone]

Am I right to be thinking the server time is stopped while it’s down I forgot to cryo my babys

[alpine gate]

server time is paused

[shadow torrent]

server down.. server not running... time not running..

[tame jackal]

Hey be glad it isn’t ubisoft or ea! Would be worse

[alpine gate]

when the servers are offline the timer is paused

[inner basin]

will i get kicked outta my nitrado server when the update comes?

[lapis bone]

Cheers boys

[sage cargo]

@lapis bone cryo nothing trust me

[fluid edge]

They always blame Xbox however it’s usually the pc gamepass (mircosoft ) that’s the issue on many Certs

They would of got less flack if they did it platform by platform

[foggy scaffold]

I think there's quite a few of us in the same boat. I've gotten to a point where disappointments just keep rolling out from ASA, I'm ready to start looking for the next best title for my servers honestly.

[mental notch]

Yes and WC always delivers on time lol

[solemn dawn]

patch released yet ?

[lapis bone]

Bruh I left everything out over 40 plus baby’s

[fluid edge]

Hahah wc don’t ever deliver on time

[meager rose]

This is always a shitshow lol

[tame jackal]

But now that i think about it wildcard might be a combo of both

[shadow torrent]

They should have Used Unity... While unreal is the better engine over all, Unity would have been Ideal for Ark, just look at Sons of the Forest... very similar atmosphere but runs 100% better.

[sage cargo]

@lapis bone yes but there's a chance that cryo pods will be broken I don't think you want to lose them due to broken cryopods

[tame jackal]

Yeah cause sotf is a great game!

[floral anchor]

I really like the delay, it's totally building the antici........pation for me

[hallow thunder]

I think last time they delivered something in time was fjordur

[rugged bluff]

son of the forest doesn't have hundreds of dinos roaming the world.

[lapis bone]

Agh rip still got a lot cryoed

[shadow torrent]

Yeah Im at my limit.. I'm a pre release Beta player.. I've had this BS for 11 years,...

[lapis bone]

Main breeders are out and few other things everything else cryoed

[shadow torrent]

no it has hundreds of cannibals who have their own AI paths and learning funtion...

[foggy scaffold]

Same, Dune Awakenings is starting to look interesting honestly 😛

[fluid edge]

I joined ark think it was between se and abbs release roughly

And all time I’ve been part of ark not once has it gone smoothly
At end of day just laugh bout it and don’t take it seriously but it’s always fun when they delay cause that’s only time anyone in discords chats longer then 5 seconds haha

[sage cargo]

@lapis bone I wish you all the luck i to have a few still in cryopods and hope they will be ok

[fluid edge]

No I’m pretty sure that was late too

[rugged bluff]

hundreds cannibals? that's false

[alpine gate]

ark runs terrible on consoles i have a ps5 and cant even play ark it just crashes constantly so i play on pc

[shadow torrent]

Interstingly It just poped up on my steam... first seeing it.

[fluid edge]

I gathered hahah this was ase not asa just for clarity

[warm tide]

Hello guys !! Am new on here x

[marsh haven]

Wow it actually released

[fluid edge]

Oh your in for a ride then 😂😂

[copper tapir]

I wonder if it's going to fix a bunch of rat holes would be funny to see all those base go by by.

[alpine gate]

it is

[fluid edge]

Back when the fires of mount doom and before the fire nation yeah 😂🤘🏻

[alpine gate]

the mesh holes will be fixed

[hallow thunder]

Fr ??? 🥹

[copper tapir]

Good

[sage cargo]

Wildcard never has released on time. Roomer has it when they made their company they didn't even open their doors on time because they delayed the hiring process

[alpine gate]

that is being patched along with this update

[frail acorn]

Roomer has it is crazy

[void barn]

ur ark is being patched?

[alpine gate]

no im talking abt the rat holes and the mesh holes

[fluid edge]

Did they know they made a company? Or did they just arrive and go oh yeah I created this months ago 😂😂

[void barn]

oh lmfao

[alpine gate]

i wish my was updating

[lapis bone]

Wait what rat holes

[alpine gate]

on ast

[upbeat swan]

So it was Xbone holding us up?

[tame jackal]

They can even come in to work at 1pm without any problems!

[alpine gate]

they are fixing all the mesh spots and holes that ppl build in

[lapis bone]

Rip my base

[copper tapir]

Oh boy my alpha going to be mad

[rugged bluff]

because the government didn't certify their business license on time

[jade badger]

Its said Xbox has gone threw but so far no update for Xbox

[alpine gate]

not for another hr for the update

[tame jackal]

#announcements

[sage cargo]

@fluid edge They forgot the created the company until they got a bill in the mail saying they owe money for renting the building 🤣

[fluid edge]

Don’t beleive that they always use that

As stated it’s usually pc gamepass on pc cert but cause it’s owned by ms they always so Xbox as it’s the easier quick fire

[fluid edge]

Phones nitrado

“Hello we need a server “

Halp

[oak spire]

Always trash box holding it up

[alpine gate]

alweays

always xbox with every cross platform game

[proper hound]

alright pipe down fun police

[oak spire]

No need for in denial Xbox glazers 😂

[copper tapir]

Not really you guys dont remember the last update ps got held up amd all the xbox player where going around wiping playstation bases

[fluid edge]

Ya know this is how people start arguing 😂😂😂

[void heath]

no... it was that the update wasn't ready, xbox is getting a delay because xbox require longer verification for updates, to ensure nothing against their ToS is in it ect...

[hearty zephyr]

The PC master race holds you all in suspension

[alpine gate]

yes it was xbox not passing certs holding it up

[proper hound]

im both xbox and pc....

[hearty zephyr]

For the PC master race not only makes the game for every platform, but plays it as well, and is ready before your pittance of a console! 😛

[hollow plume]

Will they let us know when it's completely done so we don't update ahead of time and mess something up

[oak spire]

Glazing Xbox players always in denial yall can talk smack when yall get steam on next console 😂

[alpine gate]

they even said it in the #announcements that xbox was still waiting on certs

[shadow torrent]

But you wear the xbox tag so you sacrificed your standing..

[meager rose]

Xbox just cares more and has higher standards, PlayStation is the Temu of gaming

[proper hound]

hahahhaha more fool you then

[copper tapir]

@alpine gate they just pass cert a few mins ago

[alpine gate]

yea finally

[foggy scaffold]

The biggest problem with Wildcard isn't the Devs themselves, it's the decisions they made when they designed the title, everything from development decisions to marketing, and they tried to grow too fast, expanding development into multi-platform is a huge issue in itself requiring specialized development team members and a myriad of other roles to handle communication and coordination across those platforms. They bit off more than they could literally chew. That's why they are struggling right now, it's a nonstop battle for them to get things passed in cert because not only are they still learning how to make it happen, but now they rely on the different cert points to be ready for updates and have their software and data in compliance, it slows down the process sooo much.

[alpine gate]

ps5 and pc has been passed certs

[cobalt fossil]

cope

[hasty granite]

I heard all pc players have moobs

[oak spire]

Nobody has time to read this 😂

Bros over here typing a book

[void heath]

then stop yapping...

[hearty zephyr]

Well I don't let anyone touch my moobs michael 😛

[meager rose]

Truth hurts I know

[peak spade]

ppl cant read more than 3 words anymore 🥀

[oak spire]

@void heath aww I’m sorry did I hurt your Xbox feelings 😢

[void heath]

damn

[oak spire]

That boys big sad

[fluid edge]

How is “m o b s “a bad word ? Silly bot

[foggy scaffold]

lol I keep forgetting, we live in a world where any more than an emoji line of responses is too much. 😛

[void heath]

No, not at all, why would somebody as childish as yourself upset me?

[proper hound]

i honestly get baffled when people get toxic over a game.... like its pixels and a platform, honestly if you got nothing nice to say then that just shows the scum you are

[copper tapir]

I cant wait to play dune

[shadow torrent]

XD .. As a PC gamer.. I asure I dont have moobs.. cant speak for others though

[cobalt fossil]

no, i have and xbox and a playstation and can definitely say ps is better, but i still like xbox i played ark on xbox all throughout highschool

[copper tapir]

I cant wait to play dune

[oak spire]

Butt hurt much… 💀

[void heath]

"Butt hurt much... 💀"

ong

[gloomy wind]

3d design a job

[sage cargo]

Wildcard hiring process It's ok to come to work whenever we will just delay everything. We at wildcard don't care about money we care about our days off. Work 1 hour a week we don't care. Here at wildcard we strive for our time off. Our goal is to delay not deliver

[hearty zephyr]

You know its interesting, none of the server admins for unofficial servers are complaining about anything, or fighting between each other...

just the players are, lmao

[copper tapir]

@hearty zephyr yep its a TV show in it's self

[meager rose]

PlayStation is ass

[cobalt fossil]

Dont blame the devs, blame the higher ups (snail games)

[peak spade]

console wars more like.. lots of smores.. mm smores...

[void heath]

I have a job thank you, you can't talk either, you are starting arguments on an ark discord server for nothing more than your own pride

[fluid edge]

What if I own two xboxs and pc

Xbox each for me and wife and a shared pc ??

[oak spire]

Naw just to see you get all in a hissy fit

[sage cargo]

@cobalt fossil it's the company as a whole at this point

[cunning pewter]

This is by far the worst release ever as a cluster owner. No reliable eta and an issue if a server crashes and restarts itself and updates mods

[gloomy wind]

no you dont. ur mad at a ark discord rn.

[silk egret]

Xbox passed certification now too

[copper tapir]

@silk egret yep i think 30 mins ago

[brittle folio]

The update is jet?

[void heath]

I am struggling to see how I am mad, I don't even know what I am supposedly mad about...

[cobalt fossil]

no

[oak spire]

So funny seeing how easily people get worked up 😂

[copper tapir]

Server are down so hopefully soon

[marsh haven]

how do i get the update

[hearty zephyr]

new server owner here with a cluster waiting to be updated, and impatient players xS

[tough yarrow]

Wait another hour, #announcements

[gloomy wind]

mad* and clearly look how pissed u are rn

[meager rose]

Can definitely tell who the people that don't know what grass is

[terse stump]

the xbox players

[oak spire]

What’s that?

[cunning pewter]

Its usually not this bad at all. Delays but not ones that need this level of coordination with mods

[shadow torrent]

stop gaslighting him... troll XD

[peak spade]

grass? the stuff u smoke? my fav 😋

[stoic oriole]

my offical character is uploaded with alot of stuff am i cooked?

[hearty zephyr]

They say that shit is greener on the other side of the fence Kief 😛

[copper tapir]

Im going to play on Baseball road to the show for an hour

[void heath]

I did correct myself... also, when you reply to somebody, atleast read their message instead of scanning for typos...

[oak spire]

Rip 🪦

[lapis bone]

Anyone know how big the update is likely to be

[cobalt fossil]

anybody know if servers gonna get rollback? I have alot of baby dinos gonna starve if i dont get on for a meat run soon

[stoic oriole]

wdym rip?

[tough yarrow]

Around 50 minutes, #announcements

[hearty zephyr]

ehh, after hosting several diff servers for other games, this is nbd to me, they all have issues somewhere along the line, its not just a WC/ark issue lol

[meager rose]

Everyone complaining about Xbox cert, the fucking update comes out when it comes out, go to work or go touch grass

[gloomy wind]

bro go easy man theres no way youre getting this riled up rn

[sage cargo]

You know what we are wrong wildcard doesn't always delay they are really good at not delaying news about delaying things. Their team of bad news are mostly on time 🤣

[oak spire]

Bros mad he still playing on an S

[alpine gate]

the servers are paused when they are down

[copper tapir]

@stoic oriole yeah they said to take your giy out of upload just in case sry bro

[lapis bone]

Also the size?

[tardy cape]

very

[peak spade]

big

[cunning pewter]

True. Fingers crossed though we don't log in and see all modded dinos and items deleted from existence

[tough yarrow]

Should be able little less than 150gb

[stoic oriole]

but that means im 100% cooked or i have chance?

[void heath]

1. I am not mad, I genuinly want to know what I am supposedly mad about. 2. I play on an x not an s...

[lucid gate]

Is the island an optional map now?

[sage cargo]

@tough yarrow 190 depending on the platform

[tardy cape]

have a very slim chance prob

[copper tapir]

@stoic oriole i wouldn't give it a high chance but yes

[void heath]

also, thats not additional, its in total

[silent matrix]

I’m glad the update is 150gb I hate having other games on my ps5

[shadow torrent]

So gonna need like half a terabyte free space

[tardy cape]

no it's scorch abb extinction

[tough yarrow]

I'm going off of Dollie's comments.

[gloomy wind]

its gotta be a S

[oak spire]

Big mad 😡

[humble geode]

When will the update be available for console?

[stoic oriole]

io crashed yesterday while transferring servers and i didnt wanna download ah what do i do then? that was my only character

[subtle sparrow]

fingers crossed i can actually save my game after the update drops 😂

[tardy cape]

#announcements

[void heath]

❤️ still haven't told me what I would be mad about...

[tough yarrow]

50 mins, #announcements

[sage cargo]

@tough yarrow yeah but you're not counting having to download every map putting it around 190

[tough yarrow]

Can ignore them

[tough yarrow]

You don't have to have every map. And no, I did not, because they asked about the update size. Not maps.

[shadow torrent]

Did they find a way to not need DOUBLE game space just to update or will that styill be a thing? I think its an unreal flaw more than a WC issue

[peak spade]

i havent had this happen afaik

[tough yarrow]

If it's on steam, it happens with other UE games too

[oak spire]

Bros too easy

[sage cargo]

@tough yarrow the thing is we are losing every map but the island map so technically you will most likely be downloading a map or two at least

[tough yarrow]

Still not what was asked dude

[void heath]

oh damn, so the game is 60gb+ bigger now

[terse stump]

delete my message ☝️ 🤓

[gloomy wind]

me 2

[oak spire]

lol 😆

[cobalt fossil]

thats not an ark issue, its a steam issue.

[terse stump]

😔

[sage cargo]

@void heath technically yes

[subtle sparrow]

have they said what the GB size is yet for the update?

[peak spade]

time to clear the ssd space then :')

[tough yarrow]

Base game with no maps downloaded should be 150gb in total

[dark shore]

so i need remove first and inst agien ?

[copper tapir]

@stoic oriole i wouldn't give up you still might have you guy only one way to find out gotta wait till 9am sry

[gloomy wind]

they delay our updates, limit our speach, crash our game

[void heath]

so its 30gb bigger, and they have removed all the maps... so its actually like 80gb bigger 😦

[shadow torrent]

Possibly.. if you dont have double the space then yes got to make room by removing.. but maybe its a better option.. complete clear out and fresh file write.. no left over bullshit

[stable widget]

my second tame is a baryonyx lol

[tough yarrow]

Well, the base game does have to have some of the dlc content in it

[stoic oriole]

bro im stressing i need to do all bosses again and i lost my best carcha mantis and like everything important i was transfering

[tough yarrow]

Bary are good!

[polar grove]

Ark delay of the delayed

[stable widget]

ik!

[twin flame]

Any info about how much improvements will there be in unreal engine 5.5?

[peak spade]

ark survival of the delay

[stable widget]

its a level 70 so not great but not ba

[tough yarrow]

#patch-notes has some info

[stable widget]

started off with a barry instead of a perry lolol

[void heath]

if you are on about performance, not at the moment, we'll have to wait till the updates live to see

[terse stump]

wouldnt it be quicker to just reinstall the game instead of doing 30 year patching?

[void barn]

new preset added for pc players

[polar grove]

Acsendelayed

[void barn]

called performance

[peak spade]

soap LMAO

[twin flame]

Yeah but I think it only states there will be better performance

[void heath]

no, because the base game is bigger now too

[peak spade]

🫧

🛀

[tepid lava]

I played 2600 and the original survival game Pitfall

[tough yarrow]

Honestly, yeah sometimes it is. The patching is annoying as hell

[gloomy wind]

twin

[void heath]

oh damn

[twin flame]

But I remember there was an official post about how much of improvement will there be, not sure.

[shadow torrent]

But it might be better to just have a fresh install... Im thinking I might just download everything fresh.. then no copying back and forth steam BS..

[tough yarrow]

Probably one of the community crunches in #announcements

[twin flame]

Thanks

[tough yarrow]

Steam's bs is why i just reinstall it 💀

[polar grove]

🦖 🐞 ⏳

[lofty tinsel]

wait the update is gonna be 150gb of storage?

[alpine gate]

yes and more then that

[void heath]

in total, so its gonna be 150gb to download, but its not 150gb bigger

[peak spade]

do i have to uncover the maps again if i fully reinstall i remember that happening in ase sometimes

[sage cargo]

@lofty tinsel without all the maps yes

[shadow torrent]

for me depends on the patch size with each update..

[lofty tinsel]

wdym in total

[tough yarrow]

Not sure yet since it isn't live yet

[lofty tinsel]

i need to free 150gb of storage basically>

[peak spade]

will just have to find out then 🏃‍♀️

[void heath]

so the entire game will take up about 150gb of storage

[final agate]

So do we delete the game and then reinstall?

[polar grove]

So when is this update finaly playable ?

[lofty tinsel]

oh the gameee

[tough yarrow]

Base game not including maps

[tough yarrow]

40 mins

[peak spade]

u dont have to delete the game to update but i probably will cuz i got low ssd space

[lofty tinsel]

i thought it was the the update that would be 150 gb

[polar grove]

Suuuuy can we expect another delay ?

[sage cargo]

@final agate no just the update if you want your maps back that's going to be around another 40 gigs

[tough yarrow]

You don't have to on console, its just steam thats annoying

[void heath]

yes but remember each map is 5-10gb now extra

[void heath]

thankfully not, I thought that too at first

[shadow torrent]

a fresh install will wipe maps out yes... unless you can find the correct files in your player profile.. I once transfered my server map to my home laptop, changed a few file names and it worked.

[lofty tinsel]

i hvae all of them apart dlcs

[stable widget]

can baryonyxes harvest berries?

[tough yarrow]

Nope

[void heath]

nope

[final agate]

K yeah I was just worried about having wasted space

[lofty tinsel]

nah that is too much for a patch update , although they did add space to astraes

[stable widget]

they should be able to because of how long their claws are

[dark shore]

its not bad for me i have 2TB for ak only

[sage cargo]

@shadow torrent not for PlayStation it has all the maps as dlc so it looks like the update is going to wipe the maps out and you will have to download them as dlc

[tough yarrow]

They do not. Some good early game tames are moschops and iguanodons

[peak spade]

I had it on a hard drive originally cuz i had a lot of space there, big mistake

[polar grove]

5070ti 32:9 wil it be playable ? I hope so

[peak spade]

the lag was unbearable

[normal raven]

How do I make my oviraptor not eat my fertilized giga eggs?

[void barn]

i dont have this issue on other games. How come ive only experienced this on ark?

[alpine gate]

the lag will still be there wont change much i promise that

[tough yarrow]

It's mainly unreal engine games. I upgraded my ssd and it fixed, but not everyone can do that

[alpine gate]

tho i play on ultra settings and i have no lag

[undone halo]

Is the update done at 18:00 ? Or in 1,5 hours

Can we play then?

[lofty tinsel]

btw where can i buy Astraeos from? is it a free mod or 15 euros

[peak spade]

most of the lag chilled out when i moved game to ssd which i shoulda put there in the first place tbh

[shadow torrent]

ahh i replied to the wrong person... I was replying to a guy asking about ingame maps..

[void barn]

ah makes sense. Ark is the only UE i have on steam

[undone halo]

It costs 15 euros

[tough yarrow]

Ark store page on your platform

[lofty tinsel]

ah ok because in the mod page its 6.5gb and free i guess

[peak spade]

uuurgg i just got tall tales but i want astraeos too

havent got it yet

[undone halo]

How is it free for you lol

[tough yarrow]

The mod is less compressed and only has 1 island

[tough yarrow]

The mod is free for anyone. The dlc version is not free.

[shadow torrent]

thats an old version possibly, pre DLC content.

[lofty tinsel]

yeah because it says for the full experience go to ark astraeos store page

[undone halo]

Is the dlc version better? And how expensive is it

Just 15 euros?

[zinc viper]

Is xbox update out

[lofty tinsel]

its free but probably the map is much smaller and only playable for singleplayer

[prime grove]

When is the playstation update ?

[tough yarrow]

Its only 15 euros and 10x better as it has more content.

[shadow torrent]

DLC is live updates and in progress of completion.. the free is like a beta version.. maybe 10% compkete

[undone halo]

Wow

It is huge…

[void heath]

no, but the others aren't either, the updates will be out in about half an hour I believe

[undone halo]

I thought 1,5 hours(nvm

[lofty tinsel]

the mod is a modded map , the dlc is officially from ark

[sage cargo]

Hopefully mod storage comes with this update PlayStation players need it. That's the one thing I'm hoping for

[tough yarrow]

The mod is free and is playable on unofficial and singleplayer. The dlc is not free, but again has more content is available on official, unofficial, etc.

[undone halo]

Nvm, i am just blind

[lofty tinsel]

yeah the not free one is 100x times better

[void barn]

is bobs tales worth it??

[lofty tinsel]

yes in some cases

[tough yarrow]

Absolutely, especially if you play official

[sage cargo]

@void barn yes

[molten oracle]

when is the update dropping now?

[undone halo]

If i buy the astroas dlc, can i play in actual pvp servers with the map?

[lofty tinsel]

isnt it kinda expensive tho

[lofty tinsel]

yes obviously

[undone halo]

Yes yes and yes

[void barn]

i dont play official but it seemed interesting

[tough yarrow]

Yes, just not using the Microsoft store version on PC, you will have to play Xbox.

[tough yarrow]

Its $15 usd for me, 15 euros for the other user

[undone halo]

I play on Xbox 👍

[exotic vector]

waiting for update ...

[undone halo]

It is 10 euros for me😁

[void heath]

its like £22 for me, that was with the xbox gampeass discount though

[lofty tinsel]

wait what? bob's tall tales?

[sage cargo]

@lofty tinsel um it's a dlc

[lofty tinsel]

well its 30 euros for me..

[tough yarrow]

Oh, whoops sorry. I thought you meant Astra. BTT is $30 for me without discounts/deals
