ark-survival-ascended

[faint flax]

you're near the 21k area so if you give them enough veggie cakes and decent saddles they should put up well enough

[rugged carbon]

well if theyre that important

[pliant locust]

its the only thing keeping them alive longterm. 4 breaths and youre dead

[rugged carbon]

i just was lazy and didnt want to do farming

[faint flax]

no veggie cakes? yeah you're gonna take losses

[inner sky]

Laziness is what gets most people killed against the Dragon.

You need those Veggie Cakes.

[pliant locust]

and i definitely wouldnt risk it and hope that enough therizi survive the breaths for keeping the DPS up

if the dragon catches enough of them or you mess up and cant hurt it enough when its dwon and keep tanking those breath attacks with a majority of your army, youre just dead

[rugged carbon]

how many per?

[faint flax]

way more then you might expect em to use

[pliant locust]

10-20 maybe is what i would go with for safety. could probably get away with using less like 5 but id rather be safe

[frosty kettle]

I do alpha with 20 per dino so anything around that is good

[rugged carbon]

I will try 20 and then do alpha then

[pliant locust]

if the dragon glitches around and or hurts all of your army at once with one breath, you might be on your limbs faster than you think with running it edgy and then all is lost

[worn marsh]

Hello everyone. can someone tell me what was included in the update? Discord didn't tell me.

[pliant locust]

#patch-notes
and make sure to read the bottom part of it. the last sentence to be precise

[next dock]

when the ark soft is release?

and why any play actually?

[drowsy pebble]

Where can I see map releases?

[odd tide]

When will we see Desmodus spawn on other maps? And when can we transfer gigadesmodus to other maps?????

[urban rain]

you can already transfer the gigadesmodus

[clear sleet]

Non stop crashing... They gonna fix this soon ? Every 3 minutes . this is bs. Cant even play a game that i purchased with all the dlcs. I want my money back .

[urban rain]

its just a reskinned quetz with only half the flying animations applied to it.. it flys like an over weighted wyvern

[twin whale]

When they will open transfers on lost colony??

[odd tide]

Then why can't I transfer my gigadesmo from singleplayer to my friends server?

[urban rain]

somone was saying the 25th but idk where they got the information from

[urban rain]

because there not clustered together

[odd tide]

That is dumb

[terse hinge]

where are the king titan spawns at

[runic parcel]

Isn't it random?

[runic parcel]

Loads of new bugs. Standard

[terse hinge]

suppose to be a certain time every day for each region

not seeing any spawn at the normal times tho

[analog elm]

Umm game crashed some notice about mods???

[runic parcel]

Are you playing with mods? Or you on official?

[compact sluice]

hey does someone know why my character is constantly overheating on scorched earth just in my base, btw it says it's -9 degrees and i placed like 15 air conditioners

[runic parcel]

Is your base metal?

[compact sluice]

yea

[urban rain]

because well ur base is metal and its SE

metal is the worse thing to use on SE

[runic parcel]

Yeah any metal.structure becomes an oven basically on scorched

I think that's why people flock to build in the caves and structures

[fading ice]

ah yes, black sheetmetal in a desert

[compact sluice]

I assumed it was because the base was metal, but I don't understand why it says -9 degrees

[runic parcel]

Ark logic

[urban rain]

its ark

[fading ice]

ark's temperature system is sort of unhinged

[drowsy pebble]

Where i can see map realise

[runic parcel]

Haha like moving two steps and it changes by 5°

[runic parcel]

You mean the upcoming maps?

[drowsy pebble]

Yes

[runic parcel]

https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/735188458972381194

Scroll up to 10/1 and you will see the roadmap

[fading ice]

nothing odd about that.. except the temperature is not the actual temperature and most stuff adds insulation instead of adjusting it

[inner sky]

How does one change the color of the text on signs?

[pliant locust]

in ase rag, there were areas where it would suddenly change by like 20 K and all of that within a human characters length lmao

[keen socket]

Did they break the health recovery beam with the update? Or is it glitching like everything else in ark?

[inner sky]

Considering that the patch notes say they redesigned it with no clarification on how they redesigned it, most likely.

[keen socket]

6 people hitting it couldn't break it to stop her from healing so im assuming they broke it

[inner sky]

It just says 'Redesigned the Lost Queen’s Recovery Energy Beam gameplay,' which is very vague.

I can't really comment anymore on it since I know next to nothing about the boss beyond what lots of other people having been saying about it, like how they gave her extreme DR that scales with the amount of players and forgot to add a limit at launch.

I personally wouldn't bother even attempting the boss for another month or two, or however long it takes for Wildcard to fix all the major bugs.

[faint flax]

cause it'd be super easy to find way to make something op in SP using cheats/commands and then move them to servers and would cause issues

[misty turtle]

hahaha even more broken queen

[faint flax]

hm?

[loud breach]

ya got Ark'd?

[misty turtle]

nah hearing people complain after yesterday updated

i already leave lc last week after beat her gamma

[inner sky]

Singleplayer transfers are separate from server transfers.

[faint flax]

anyone check out that loot scanner mod?

[loud breach]

I tried it on Single Player

I was on the Center and the mod didn't work

[mighty juniper]

I have 3,600 metal ingots and im debating if I should make the industrial forge or the industrial grinder first. I live in the arctic next to a cave and I get so many drops with random saddles and items I dont need which is why I was thinking about making a grinder and grinding them up

[loud breach]

none of the Radial Menu options do anything

[loud breach]

Forge

[faint flax]

even with hibernation off?

[inner sky]

Always the Forge first.

[loud breach]

ya can grind the Metal again, it's processing that takes time. Also, the vanilla grinder sucks, it only returns to 25% of the resources and cap out at a single stack for each

[odd tide]

The server I play on with my friends is a unofficial Nitrado password protected server

And when will Desmodus be added to other maps?

[loud breach]

that shouldn't matter, I literally went to a drop, waited until it spawned and it still didn't work

[fading ice]

it still cant transfer from singleplayer by default, that has to be enabled by the owner

[loud breach]

I thought maybe it only works on cave and deep sea loots

luckily, my base is nearby so I went there and it's the same thing

I think mod doesn't work on Single Player

I don't want to bother installing it on my dedicated server just for it to not end up working

if ya want loot Scanner, Cybers Structures already has one

[misty nacelle]

Hello I am new here I just have a simple question do you think anyone here can help me with it I'm having trouble trying to watch something on YouTube or Disney Plus and whenever I am in ARK: Survival Evolved it pauses my show or video or movie on its own has anyone else dealt with this problem and how did you fix it

[loud breach]

try switching ARK to windowed mode

[idle sundial]

Anyone know a way to lower the latency / input lag with FG 2X on?

or should I just turn it off for pvp

[misty nacelle]

Okay I'll give that a try

[loud breach]

@mighty juniper I recommend installing the Grindactor mod

[misty nacelle]

Okay I am back I twenty to properties understand and went to launch options and tried -windowed sadly that didn't work did I do it wrong

[loud breach]

can't you do it from the game settings?

[stiff oasis]

What does it do

[misty nacelle]

Oh yeah I can I've already tried that and it still pauses it

[loud breach]

Fabricator + Grinder that refunds 75% instead of 25% resources grinded

it has a setting to mute the sound too

[loud breach]

do ya have a second monitor?

[misty nacelle]

Yeah I have second monitor That's what I watch most of my stuff on

[loud breach]

are ya running ARK on one monitor and watching videos on the other?

[misty nacelle]

Yes I am I have my main monitor for all my games and then the other monitor is for like all videos

[loud breach]

then try using a different media player app, like VLC for example

[misty nacelle]

Oh okay thank you for your help

[fading ice]

you cant. the entire point of framegen is it increases perceived smoothness (not really) in exchange for much higher visual and input latency. it is basically delaying every frame by 1 to do the generation

[fading ice]

the videos in main page and in mod advertisements are embedded youtube videos in some cases, can only have one youtube video running at once per system

not sure why disney plus would do that, unless it is just default policy if multiple media players are running on the ssytem

[misty nacelle]

I agree with you The weird thing is I've had this happen to me on another game and I've contacted the developers of that said game they said it was because of an update

[balmy drift]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[kind python]

yo anybody ark world?

[loud breach]

nope

I don't think he gets affected by status effects

@balmy drift I wanted to ask ya about the Neo ARK Reaper mod

did ya end up installing it?

[remote leaf]

Well I did the boss fight but during the fight with the queen my screen went white and I crashed. Idk if I ran out of time or if it was a bug but.....

[fair wyvern]

i would say crashing is in fact a bug #bug-reports

[faint flax]

still not sure if most recent patch would help with crashing for LC boss but eh

[turbid ocean]

Is anyone having an issue where the boss fight on Lost Colony just doesn't start even when you have the tributes in it?

[loud breach]

are ya using higher tier Sigil to start a lower difficulty by chance?

[turbid ocean]

Nope, we're using gamma sigils for gamma fight

[remote leaf]

Yeah but did it happen because I ran out of time or because of a bug unrelated to the timer. I mean I still had plenty of time but ive heard that the 60 minutes is for the entire thing not just to get to final battle. So I wonder.....

[remote leaf]

Idk either. I mean overall the .apparently seems cleaner less lag and less crashes but....

[remote leaf]

Raasclark did on Thursday but no ive only done it once and everything was fine till the final battle against the queen

[remote leaf]

Ru on official?

[turbid ocean]

Unofficial

[faint flax]

am on SP so feel like that makes it easier in some ways but harder in others

[humble walrus]

Is anyone getting incorrect displays of tribe members locations on the map?

[remote leaf]

Is it your server or do u have admin privileges?

[turbid ocean]

No, unofficial boosted rates cluster

[remote leaf]

Yeah only problem with sp is it is the most bugged of all the modes

[remote leaf]

I'd contact the admin than and have them restart the server if possible. That's the only fix ive heard works rn

[turbid ocean]

Yeah, there's a scheduled restart in a few hours, and they said it's been bugging out for everyone else too rn

[faint flax]

never figured out which ones were bguged tbh cause was just told to wait for awhile

most i can do is watch people do fight tho some feel like skip over details

[remote leaf]

Yeah ive heard that the longer its a time the more buggy it gets oddly enough

[wary schooner]

Hey idk if anyone else is having this issue but as me and my girlfriend are playing on the island and for some reason we don’t have any doedics spawning, we can’t even force spawn them in, it doesn’t allow us too

[faint flax]

tbh not worried about the fight getting to the LK tbh

fight itself not sure on but feel dosable and as for 2nd fight could look up how it goes and should be fine it's just crashes would be annoying

[remote leaf]

Yeah raasclark hasa video where he went through it live. Its his Friday stream. But its really not that hard just tedious more than anything. The biggest thing is not leaving any tames behind

[loud breach]

damn it with the patches

I hate this "potential" crap

[remote leaf]

Mine went good right up until the end

[faint flax]

i'd prob either bring 4 ossidons and ride one or bring a teraxtititan and the 4 ossidons and go from there

[remote leaf]

I just seen it hopefully it fixes whatever caused mine to crash

Yeah I brought 3 ossidons, 1 rex and 4 thralls it was over board lol

[loud breach]

can the Teraxititan enter boss fights?

[faint flax]

i took one into grendel fight and nanatuk fights so yeah

[lilac grove]

Are servers down or something, it’s not letting me back in

[remote leaf]

Official?

[analog moth]

Update just dropped like 10-15mins ago official are still deploying

[steel abyss]

how many city loot crates can be out at once???

[steel abyss]

in lc

[loud breach]

I think 4-5

I know for a fact that if ya don't grab all the ones in caves, the city ones will never spawn

[glass burrow]

Damage on the Gloons is garbage now no point to having them now I get reducing but now they are worthless

[steel abyss]

every single cave?

[loud breach]

pretty much, yeah

I've over 100 hours in the map and I've never once seen a city loot crate

but if ya want it to complete a milestone, the cave ones count as city

so ya don't actually need to head into the city

[steel abyss]

the cave crates don't count as cave drops for my skill tree quests 😭

[steel abyss]

the cave that i have an outpost in always has like 3-5

[loud breach]

when ya take the items, either click transfer all or take everything inside

don't drop or leave anything

they should count

[steel abyss]

what if i do drop the items out

[sturdy heath]

The it won’t count, take all then drop stuff

[steel abyss]

wdym

[sturdy heath]

If you don’t take all items it won’t count towards achievements

[steel abyss]

if i transfer all does it spawn more city drops?

[loud breach]

eventually, yeah

[steel abyss]

does it spawn less if i drop the stuff out of the crate??

[loud breach]

but don't get your hopes up if ya are playing on Single Player

[steel abyss]

im on smalltribes crossplay

[loud breach]

no, it just won't count towards the quest

it's a bug that's been in the game for a while now

[steel abyss]

ok

[crisp ingot]

Does anyone have any good Breeding setting for Singleplayer?

[loud breach]

are ya fine with disabling Use SinglePlayer Settings?

it makes some creatures near impossible to fully imprint because they grow too fast

[edgy flax]

Is anyone in here smart on ragnorok

[undone kettle]

are we able to 100% ascend on the lost colony boss now?

[remote leaf]

I just did. First time failed but than they did a server patch I tried it again andasvended with no problem

I will say the lost queen is no easy boss even on gamma. She is a beast for sure lol

[hot zenith]

Anyone know of an active pve cluster?

[undone kettle]

We killed her with 6 people on beta and had 9 mins 57 seconds left

I think the entire thing is pretty easy to be honest

Edit: we winded up not ascending tho so I don’t wanna do alpha for no ascension that’s insane

[remote leaf]

Well I did it solo. If you got 6 ppl im sure it is easy. But when u solo it with 2 ossidons and a thrall I think it is very difficult. Of course none of that helped me with the queen as your tames are all put to sleep. I had like 7 minutes left myself. But damn lol

Oh yeah idk if the ascension is fixed yet but I was able to ascend just waiting for my egg now

To hatch I have it in the egg incubator

[ionic eagle]

Sooo cant break the tether now? Anytime we touched it we got thrown back and theres a load of bats that werent there before

[remote leaf]

Yeah I had that but just kept at it and I eventually beat her took me about 12 minutes or so

[ionic eagle]

Wasnt doing this before the latest updates

[remote leaf]

Oh really? I never tried it before today. I failed earlier but that was cuz I crashed. But I succeeded on the second attempt.

[ionic eagle]

Weve been doing it most the week and with this update they altered the tether and added all those bats

[sick imp]

Im have a issue, I play ark on steam and when I join ark apocalypse island 2 my game freezes, my game doesnt do that on any other server except that one. how do I fix it

[remote leaf]

Oh wow that's crazy

Ok so there's an interesting twist. Apparently u dont unlock the tek spear or the giga desmodus saddle by beating gamma?

Has anyone beat gamma amd got anything unlocked

[ionic eagle]

I believe it should just be alpha. Gamma and beta should just be ascensions

Actually i take that back. Someone on our cluster got the egg on beta but idk about unlocks.

[calm garden]

Anyone know what the command is to give guest players in your server admin commands?

[faint flax]

so what's the new issue with the boss? something about the tether issue now?

[flat wedge]

yh nah bro this game is too much to learn

[final spear]

How long is wave one supposed to be on an Alpha ODS? I haven't seen anything spawn in about 25 minutes and it still says two hostiles remaining

It was 4 originally

[neat scroll]

Ark asa lava golem now don't drop loot in his inventory?

[remote leaf]

Ok i got the egg the trophy but no engrams also got like 100 red ele

[remote leaf]

I dont think its really an issue. I was able to beat it solo. Had 7 minutes to spare. Not easy but doable

[remote leaf]

Lol nah just gotta take it one thing at a time

[remote leaf]

You see any marks or icons for enemies? If not its probably bugged

[final spear]

It was.

Just started wave 4

[remote leaf]

So its working or?

[final spear]

Kinda

Starting to think waves have timers.

[misty turtle]

in asa boss reward now drop in form of loot cave

no more inventory

[storm rampart]

Does Dino Depot remove a Rhynio baby if the host is already impregnated? Need to know before taming

[neat scroll]

Thank you

[neat scroll]

No because rhyino is not your dino it's a wild

Depot only capture babies from you tamed dino i guess

[final spear]

1 holstile left

Done

[remote leaf]

Idk maybe

[remote leaf]

Cool

[lyric iris]

always found it odd that water containers & torches can’t be grounded up in an indy grinder

[fading ice]

water containers have a really weird crafting chain you dont really see clearly, due to how they are refilled. torch.. who knows

[pure anchor]

Has official integration with other maps for Lost Colony been released yet?

[drowsy thistle]

Best tame to solo osds?

[shrewd pine]

Is the boss fixed finally?

And the enemy spawns regarding the outpost

[remote leaf]

Ossidon

[remote leaf]

Been working for me. I ascended today on gamma

[drowsy thistle]

Really?

[remote leaf]

Yep got my giga desmodus egg 100 red ele and tge trophies. No engrams unlocked so im guessing thsts beta and or alpha

[lyric cradle]

Mate boosted Carcharo with full stacks, or the ice titan

Purple will be challenging if you don't have good muts

[faint flax]

wondering what would be recommended stats for alpha LC fight

[drowsy thistle]

What are good stats on a carch

[final spear]

2k Carch

[remote leaf]

Ossidons are definitely what im taking

[whole yoke]

Dose the ossidon still spawn on the other maps or was it temporary

[remote leaf]

Temporary

[regal frost]

Yo is there any chance that wc will ever add begginer Servers to asa? They used to be the most fun Servers on ase

[neat crown]

How does cloning work?

I have an animal on the machine but it doesn't work and it's on

Do I have to put a second one or what?

[queen hull]

Do you have the element shards required to clone?

[loud breach]

also need to be powered by Tek Generator

[faint flax]

oh goody the update dropped for consoles

now to figure out if means boss fight doable or not yet

[opaque bramble]

Never will be. XD

[carmine monolith]

can tames just vanish if u leave render while they are hooked to medical stand?

[balmy drift]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[barren bough]

from my understanding they still get mutations even if both parents are at 20+.. just at a lower rate..

[old harbor]

Would any body know why I only see 1 PvP server on a official on pc gamepass version of the game

[gleaming sequoia]

Where can I get crystal on ragnarok

I am at SW

SW 2

[sharp dome]

Yeah no anti cheat thru Microsoft version of game so u can’t join official

Only Xbox, psn, steam, and epic can join official w anti cheat

Dm for more info if u need

[bright girder]

been shooting a giga for like 5 mins and its torpor only went to 2 k and drains super quickly? my bow does 700 trpr each hit btw

[austere aurora]

and not traped giga lose about 1k a sec

[devout ermine]

Yo anyone got a lost colony tribe I can join on offical 1x

I wanna get a few thralls just solo atm but can help you farm some stuff

[ashen summit]

is there any solution for empty lost colony city? no NPCs spawn there anymore. dont know why.

[carmine monolith]

does LC boss fight (lost queen) change depending on amount of people? like teh tether gets upgraded or something? cant find any info on it and the tether for us was creating little pulses that we couldnt break?

[last sedge]

she gets more damage resistance with more people, up to 90%

[loud breach]

what's the damage of your bow?

[restive sable]

Guys, who knows or where to look at which tribes exist?

[last sedge]

U mean mega tribes in official pvp and their alliance

[tawdry isle]

Lost colony city fixed yet on ps5 or still crashing as of the latest patches ?

[spring matrix]

Yo wsg

[wild light]

Hey everyone, I could use some help.
I’m playing ARK in singleplayer and I’m having an issue where very few dinos are spawning.
I’m on The Island map.
I already tried the Prevent Hibernation mod and also used the destroywilddinos command, but it didn’t really fix it.
Has anyone run into this before or knows a solution?
Also tried to run as non-dedicated server but it didn't help.

[restive sable]

Yea

[boreal coral]

anyone know of a way to get rid of the costumes in your inventory normal recipes dont show sometimes cause inventory is full of the skins -.-

[loud breach]

I hate that I have to ask this but ASE?

@wild light try upping the Dino Count to 1.1

[boreal coral]

asa

[loud breach]

if that doesn't work, try 1.2 then 1.3

[loud breach]

ya can store skins in other storage containers

[boreal coral]

no

you cant pull them out your inventory

they added a shit tonne of skins/costumes that you can craft in your inventory and you cant get rid of them/disable them in options that ive seen

[loud breach]

non-event cosmetics are no longer craftable, they're automatically unlocked

[boreal coral]

yeah i know still annoying having your crafting full of them -.-

[loud breach]

the cosmetic tab has also been moved so skins shouldn't appear in your inventory

are ya perhaps playing a really old version of the game?

[boreal coral]

they arent in my inventory they are in the crafting table and no im not

[loud breach]

ya can just transfer them to another storage

[boreal coral]

no you cnt....

you cannot drag cosmetic skins from the crafting part of your inventory out of it

if they are crafted yes you can but otherwise they are stuck there

[loud breach]

there are 2 tabs when ya click cosmetics

[boreal coral]

bro

the crafting section of your inventory

has skins/costmetics, which you cannot move

[loud breach]

what skins are those, modded?

[boreal coral]

no vanilla

its all shit from the animated series and LC content

and bobs tales

they fill more than half of your inventory lol

[loud breach]

I'm not following, can ya DM/PM with screenshots?

[boreal coral]

classic do you even play asa?

[loud breach]

yes I do, I literally just got done from a 5 hour session trying to get a high level Reaper outside of the cave in Lost Colony

[boreal coral]

right

[loud breach]

cosmetics shouldn't appear in the player inventory

they have thier own tab

[royal kraken]

i just got jump on the swamp in my pteradon by a huge insect and lost everything how do i kill it?

[loud breach]

any ranged weapon or Argy

[wild light]

I set the dinocount at 1.1 but if I go with non dedicated server my settings goes back to 1.0

[boreal coral]

dm me ill show you jesus lmfao

[loud breach]

that's the Rhyniognatha, if it's a male, make sure to get the Pheromone

[pearl quartz]

can we get nameless venom on astaeous yet?

[boreal coral]

yes

go to ab spot in asteros

[loud breach]

try setting the ini file as Read-Only

[pearl quartz]

is therer a blue zone there now @boreal coral i'm on officvial

[loud breach]

no, the blue zone will be added at the end of this month

Rock Drakes and thier eggs don't spawn at the moment too

[pearl quartz]

ah okay thanks

[granite kettle]

question, so if i paint a tattoo on my characters arm and save it. Then i paint one on my leg and save it. Does that second save also include the first tattoo on my arm as well? Just trying to make sure before i erase anything and lose progress

[drowsy thistle]

Rock drakes are coming to astraeos?

[granite kettle]

anyone know if nameless are ever supposed to come to abb zone on ragnarok asa? I got a rock drake i'd like to raise and no nameless venom lol

[loud breach]

yes, end of this month

[loud breach]

there's an Abb zone in Ragnarok?

[granite kettle]

yea

entrance to the area is around 70.6, 64.9

[drowsy thistle]

Oh sweet I got some good rhynios btw too 🙏🏽

[stiff oasis]

Guys is there a map with good dino type quality? Like every dino in game

[granite kettle]

@loud breach it is an abberation zone with dinos from abberation, but not any abberant variations of those dinos. So to get abberant versions, you still need to go to Abberation map

[mighty juniper]

can grappling hooks be used more than once before needing another hook?

[lone yacht]

How do you build along slopes?

[granite kettle]

@stiff oasis ragnarok has alot, but i think astraeos is supposed to have the largest collection on one map. Atleast thats the developers plan for it, not sure how many are there so far tho

@stiff oasis if you're not wanting to do a paid map, i think Fjordur has the largest collection

[stiff oasis]

I asked him and he is not planing to add everydino that is in ark but I guess he will add most of it?

[stiff oasis]

I already bought the astreos ,thanks but still fjordur is a great suggest too

[granite kettle]

yea i dont think every single dino will be available on Astraeos, but i think it is still supposed to have the most on one map as far as different dinos go

some dinos are just map exclusive, so you'll always have to go back to those maps for those dinos

as an example, i think the Phoenix is exclusive to scorched earth, only spawning during heatwave events

[dire cove]

@glacial wolf

[stiff oasis]

I guess that map is my next one thanks dude

[granite kettle]

@stiff oasisnp and gl!

[stiff oasis]

In ase I saw phoenix in another map too but I don't really remember which one was it

(Or I am maybe remembering it wrong)

[stiff oasis]

Thank youu

[granite kettle]

oh, ok, i have no clue, as far as i was aware, it was only a Scorched Earth dino. Stuff might have changed since i last looked

[stiff oasis]

Yeah asa is a lot different lol

[granite kettle]

yea, im on ASA, but im on ragnarok, and while there is a desert here, there is no heatwave so no phoenix

not sure how it would work without a heatwave but i guess its always possible 😛

[drowsy thistle]

Fjord it is out?

[granite kettle]

nah, not yet, think its supposed to be released early 2026 if i remember correctly

sorry, *late 2026/early 2027

but you know how it goes with timelines for ark... lol, its a shot in the dark when it comes to hitting the bullseye

for them to release Fjordur in late 2026/early 2027, they'd have to push out a few other maps this year alone and i highly doubt they'll pull that off

i think Fjordur is supposed to be the last map they release, and last time i looked at a timeline, they had all kinds of different dlc's supposed to be in the works. So its most likely NOT gonna be hitting that mark

im still waiting for genesis 1 & 2

[misty turtle]

fjordur 2028

[stiff oasis]

If nothing goes wrong lol

[granite kettle]

i have more faith in me and my ex getting back together for it to happen when they say it will. Btw, she's deceased if that tells ya anything

[drowsy thistle]

Ark 2 would be out by then

[granite kettle]

lol, they'll probably mention an Ark 3 by the time Ark 2 is released 😛

gotta hand it to them, they've got high hopes for their game haha

[polar trail]

Im so happy they decided to fix the audio in the boss fight
Instead of actually fixing the boss fight. Constant crashes, cant ascend, laggy as fuck

[granite kettle]

lol, yea... noticed alot of that. "We've added the period at the end of the system is restarting message." "Game startup intro video now has brighter colors" type of updates 🤣

[polar trail]

We have to be on Punk'd right now, right?

Right?

[granite kettle]

lol, feels that way at times

"Video now correctly shows your character"... who cares if my character is seen or not, just make it work and im happy. I could care less if its just a dangling torso of me or me invisible, as long as it finishes with the achievement, im good! haha

[brittle zodiac]

im trying to get mutations on rexes for alpha broodmother and monkey but it just takes to long to get enough mutations, what can i do to not break just break the whole game but make it easier for example each mutation add maybe like 5 points instead of 2 ase btw

[granite kettle]

first off, there is nothing you can really do to speed up the process, second... i'd probably go with megatheriums over rex's for broodmother

unfortunately 🙁

[brittle zodiac]

i want it to just go fast yk

[mighty juniper]

Is there any way to preserve perishables like antidotes and leech blood? I cant put it in my fridge

[granite kettle]

yea, mutations take forever unfortunately. I've had times where im trying to get a melee mutation and each mutation is 400-500 born rex's apart before i get the next mutation i need

literal weeks/months before the next one comes that i need

[brittle zodiac]

it would take way to long breeding 3 types of dinos

[inner sky]

If you have Bob’s Tall Tales; Tame Rexes with the mutable melee/health traits and put them on the babies.

[brittle zodiac]

im on ase sadly

[granite kettle]

lol, that it does. Currently im working on a therizino line, a rex line, a megatherium line

[inner sky]

Oh. Rip.

[brittle zodiac]

lol

[inner sky]

The only thing you can really do to speed up mutations without using mods is to throw more females into the orgy.

[granite kettle]

as much as you'd like to have the feeling of doing it all yourself, if you're looking to speed up the process, might be more beneficial to just trade something to someone for a good fem/male boss dino combo and then just breed them together a few times till you have the amount you need for the fight. Just keep the main two set aside so if some die you can re-breed them again to get more

atleast that way you can have what you need in a couple of weeks as apposed to spending months/years of breeding to get a top line dino ready

but if Broodmother is the boss you're specifically set on, while rex's can do it, Megatheriums benefit greatly from the broodmother being an insect so megatheriums hit very hard on her. Harder than rex's imo

and also, since megatheriums are considered herbivore dinos, you can put some sweet veggie cakes in their inventory and they'll survival longer than rex's will with meat

sweet veggies on an herbivore is a game changer when it comes to survivability 🙂

[ionic eagle]

Partial issue is when were doing it xbox and windows hadnt gotten their update yet so might not have been able to it. We read about some blue ball things during the tether stage and we definitely didnt see those

[errant kite]

Anyone got any advise on xbox repeatedly crashing on load in? Its an unofficial server, valguero map and we are running mods, but we just got rid of 3 and I was able to load in before and run it just fine. Now when I load into the server it immediately dc's me

[ionic eagle]

Can any xbox/windows players confirm we havent gotten the update announced over 12 hrs ago?

[ionic eagle]

Have u reinstalled the map?

[hardy tulip]

anyone here got experience hosting an ark server of their own pc?

[upbeat herald]

anyone here from extinction offical pve 5850, and know alex?

[errant kite]

Just did, trying to load in again now. Also cleared the mac address, unplugged it, and Uninstaller and redownloaded all mods

*uninstalled

[ionic eagle]

We have ps5 players having the same issue

[errant kite]

Has anyone had any luck fixing it?

[ionic eagle]

We are troubleshooting today.

[drowsy thistle]

For the S-Dino variant mod can I change my dinos to regular dinos to S variant?

[outer tendon]

Have they fixed dragon hoard keys not working for gamepass players? I keep getting (requires Fantastictames: drakelings) and the dragon hoard wont come up even when standing at the exact spot.

[remote leaf]

Oh ok

[haughty tendon]

Since a few days there are absolutely no NPCs spawning in the city on our self hosted server except for those on attack outposts. Anyone else experiencing this or better yet have a fix?

[grizzled obsidian]

@haughty tendon i was wondering around the city area last night looking for notes, and they were def in there

[remote leaf]

No im getting npcs in the city

[drowsy thistle]

Can I put my single player save into a server?

[haughty tendon]

On SP with the same mods its also fine, however they just stopped spawning on the server as of a few days ago

[last sedge]

sure

[drowsy thistle]

How

[last sedge]

copy the save file to the server one, don't think u can upload stuff to nitrado, so selfhosting only

[hardy tulip]

anyone able to help me with something rq, its a 2 minute thing

[restive sable]

[drowsy thistle]

Is the s variant damage boost worth the health reduction?

[remote leaf]

I think so

[mighty juniper]

are there requirements to upload your survivor

[austere hemlock]

Games broken. Unplayable on ps5 n

[remote leaf]

Im on ps5 and play it just fine. Even have beat the boss twice on gamma

someone able to help me with something? its a 2minute thingf

[steel abyss]

if i kill a reaper queen on lc how long does it take another to spawn??

[frosty venture]

Should be basically instantly after you leave the lower zone.

[runic parcel]

How is club ark stilllll so broken. I'm here fighting collapsed 3D models, unable to hit them.

[elfin orbit]

We've been able to ascend in lost colony 3/4 times

No skins, companion or shoulder pet allowed

Don't leave any dino behind and dont skip last cut scenes after boss

All must click on terminal ascend at same time, example at minute 2:30 all ascend

Official PVE

[swift tendon]

I literally cant join my single player world at all

[rancid raft]

@blissful raptor Hey, you asked a question in the Dododex Discord but left. 😅 So I’ll reply here. Did you change your “seconds between hits” setting? Increasing that too much will make KO impossible for most weapons.

[spare nacelle]

Any Xbox players looking to do a non-dedicated playthrough of the game? I do have mods and some boosted settings. If you wish to see them I can send screenshots or we can join an Xbox party and explain them or we can do a direct call on discord.

[loud breach]

not yet, no, ya need to have Bob Tales purchased to open the chests for now

[rugged carbon]

what is recommended army for overseer on beta (not sure if its worth my time to get alpha requirements)

[last sedge]

theri with carcha to clear tek cave

[spare nacelle]

I would personally just use rexes for every boss except dragon on the island because whilst they might not be the best for any one boss, they are good enough that they can do everything.

The only issue with Rex's against Dragon is the fire damage affecting them more.

[rugged carbon]

would i have to let the carcha and theri die in the cave or can i cryo them in the tek cave

[rugged carbon]

i have yet to do dragon but im getting theri army ready

[spare nacelle]

Yes, you can cryo things in tech cave, unless something's changed recently.

[last sedge]

?, u cryo the carcha and take the theri to kill the overseer

[sturdy heath]

He question is . Is it worth me doing beta when only alpha matters

[last sedge]

+10 is +10 levels

[rugged carbon]

i forgot that it gives you more levels

[sturdy heath]

+15 and tek binoculars

[last sedge]

also, another shoot of chibi rollet

[rugged carbon]

i just didnt want to do alpha because the ocean makes me nauseous and i dont know how to kill alpha mosa or tuso

[sturdy heath]

Shark pack Or a good basilo

[last sedge]

both

[rugged carbon]

basilo is so it cant be grabbed by tuso right?

[spare nacelle]

Basilo or a mob of basically anything that can swim.

[spare nacelle]

This is correct.

[rugged carbon]

alr i will get to it then

[spare nacelle]

Using a small army of sarcos, I have annihilated, fairly high level alpha-tusos.

And a good chunk of that army were not very good stats, because I just kept every sarco from my breeding process. So some of them had low health, some had low damage. And I'm pretty sure all of them survived except for maybe the level 20s, but who expects them to last at all in a fight against powerful creatures?

[faint flax]

tbf if can even a low level deinosuchus can farm alpha's easy esp if just dump it's hp so lives longer

[loud breach]

yes it is worth it because the Overseer doesn't rewards anything on Gamma and Beta

[loud breach]

the Tek Binoculars is very useful and absolutely worth doing the Alpha

[rugged carbon]

Whats it do

[loud breach]

allows ya track a creature from a distance, see it's level, number of mutations, leveled up stats, colour regions and has pseudo night vision

it's basically a Spyglass mod built in the game

[drowsy thistle]

Can ossidons go into boss fights?

[last sedge]

yes

[loud breach]

except for Aberration of course

[loud breach]

use the r.fog 0 command to clear the rubbish

assuming that you're above Level 90, Helicoprion

they deal increased damage to Tuso and are unaffected by the ink cloud

[rugged carbon]

idk how to find helicoprion

ill probably try that then

[loud breach]

do ya happen to have purchased Bob Tall Tales?

[frosty kettle]

Cant Helicoprions not get 100% Success rate anymore?

[loud breach]

nope, only the modded one does

[frosty kettle]

Thank you

[lyric cradle]

My server doesn't seem to be spawning any city loot crates for Lost Colony, anyone know why that might be? No mods installed currently.

[spare nacelle]

Anyone?

[sturdy heath]

Server or single player?

[sturdy heath]

No one likes non dedicated as they are reliant on you being on to play at all

[spare nacelle]

You'd be surprised how many people actually play them.

It's just mostly friends playing. So finding others to play is somewhat difficult.

[sturdy heath]

To many issues with non dedicated.

[loud breach]

same

[lyric cradle]

server

[spare nacelle]

That's fine. If you have issues with non-dedicated, then don't play it. But there are a lot of people who do play it.

[sturdy heath]

They are rare only a couple at a time and like 40 spawn points

[loud breach]

I think that there can only be a limited number of loot crates on the map at any given time

try clearing out all the caves beforehand

[sturdy heath]

I’m
Saying don’t be surprised if no one responds

[lyric cradle]

I'll take a shot at this, thanks m8

[loud breach]

people really don't understand how bad the gameplay is for the non-host player on non-dedicated

on the top of my head, I can name at least 5 different bugs that are game breaking

[sturdy heath]

As well as just the pain of tether and limitations of game play waiting for a person to host 🤮

[wheat walrus]

What do we think the chances of Sir 5rm8 improvements are? Like pathing. Maybe some ability to bind them to specific structures or adjust their range.

[loud breach]

slim to none

[sturdy heath]

Agreed

[spare nacelle]

I am very aware of this fact.

[loud breach]

there's a mod that ya can install though

[wheat walrus]

Its a good concept, jsut not quire refined enough to be really useful

[stone shuttle]

If you’re experiencing the ‘disappearing hotbar/cryo/inventory issue’ then follow these steps to fix it;

You will need to do this for every structure that has an inventory, EXCEPT for refrigerators and troughs

• Enter the inventory of said structure

• Choose an item to ‘test’ it on, prior to taking the item you need to check the inventory slot count.

• Transfer any item into your inventory, just one stack/item.

• This item should now visually show in your inventory as well as inside the structure

• Whilst still in the structures inventory throw the one inside the structure out, ensure the slot count number changes here.

• You then need to exit, pick up the item (which will say 0 ((I’ve added a picture to this message so you understand what I mean)).

• Once picked, re-enter the structure and place back the item inside it. The slot count should’ve changed from the previous step back to its original number.

• You then should be able to take anything out without it being inside both you and the structure (which would cause it to vanish).

• Repeat for every structure with an inventory.

• To fix your fridges and troughs inventory, you need to transfer all into you, then back into the fridge/trough.

I have added a few pics to demonstrate what I mean, I used a crop plot to test this with.

In the first picture I take the most used fert out, yet it’s in me and the plot. I then throw it out of the plot, which I show it on the floor. I then pick that up, and then show that it’s gone from the plot. Then I put it back in, take a diff fert out and show the slot count is the same as a moment ago but with a different fert 😂😅.

[stone shuttle]

I hope it isn’t confusing, because I fear I’m making it more confusing than it needs to be but 😂

[faint flax]

wouldn't be shocked if they were on roofs etc 😓

Guys quick question can I clone and ride a gigadesmo without having lost colony dlc

[open ridge]

why does it says i have 0 mod storage when i dont have any mods on asa does it have anything to do with playing the xbox gamepass version

[wind mason]

Does anyone know if the Lost Colony boss has been fixed?

[plucky herald]

See if the following works: go into settings and turning off dynamically download cosmetics.

Then go into installed mods and select the uninstall all mods button. Any mods dynamically downloaded and you can’t see are deleted. Restart your game.

[plucky herald]

Some fixes are listed in patch notes.

[wind mason]

It said "mission failed" after watching the final cutscene; I don't know if I should skip it.

[open ridge]

it was already off and it still shows i have 0 storage bro i have no idea what to do

oh nvm it just worked

[jaunty marten]

anyone want to play i alr have a map center i need people not offical and na

Running around investigating the sleeping bodies of my tribe mates for the thief lmso

[final spear]

Starting to feel like they need to get a new host.

How many people have lost connection to the host in the last 3 days?

[loud breach]

the use the Gene Scanner

it doesn't work properly on Single Player but it's something

@faint flax

[rugged carbon]

i imagine it only works if i go around the water to find it since only part of the map renders

[loud breach]

remember the Loot Scanner mod ya asked about it the other day? turns out it's server only mod

[rugged carbon]

still good i had no idea it existed

[loud breach]

it's not that common on the Island

but it overspawns on the Center and Ragnarok

before Lost Colony that is

[fading ice]

doubtful, and it would be useless if it did

[leaden rain]

For reduce latency is good when using multi frame gen

[fading ice]

not how anything works. stop using mfg if you hate latency that much

[leaden rain]

Not much but sometime it goes very high

[fading ice]

reflex is a frame-timing control for mainly high-framerate cpu-bound games, it is not just magically making games travel backward in time. framegen is delaying each frame both by lowering your real framerate due to the processing overhead, and further delaying the visual (not input) latency by one real frame

visual and input latency are completely different things that are sometimes seen together

[hoary canyon]

Input latency is mainly happening because your native FPS is below 60 and you're using framegen on mousekb.

[blazing yoke]

so do we have a patch and fix for the inventory issue ?

[hoary canyon]

Reflex definiatly helps with that

GPU companies do not advice to use framegen under 60

[half cradle]

Tonight update the servers are still crashing and rolling back and now my players are saying it reset there skill tree. Awesome smh

I have lost so many players that said they are done with ark this is effecting other maps also

[fading ice]

has nothing to do with it. look at what reflex actually does

[hoary canyon]

Uhh? Are you confusing with something else. It litterally came with 30xx series to improve input response o.O

Man, this broken Lost Colony Terminal bug is killing my motivation to play. On an unofficial server and once someone clears the boss, the fight is unstartable for everyone else until the next restart

[rugged carbon]

everything i hear about LC makes me happy to not own it

[sturdy heath]

Love lost colony

[rugged carbon]

atp it looks genuinely unplayable with the bugs

[sturdy heath]

Very well done . Functions very well . Other then single player problems and official problems lol

[loud breach]

and console too

[sturdy heath]

We have a large console community on our cluster that has not had much issues

[coral gale]

Is ark ascended actually decently playable on xbox series x now?

[sturdy heath]

We have many that play it on series x… don’t try on S

[coral gale]

Ight. What should i do with settings that might take some screen tearing or lag away

[limpid ridge]

is it just our server or does other people have problems with it crashing lately. its happened twice today alone and its frustrating. both after finishing/starting an outpost...

[clear bramble]

Is anyone having issues with the server search bar not letting you click on it to type

Kinda new to the ark scene on xbox trying to have fun and tame some dinos

Have discord on xbox

Unfortunately have older gen xbox so cloud gaming limited maps

Its actually an amazing map and hS lots of cool content. Yes there's bugs but theyre getting sorted out.

[rugged carbon]

im waiting till the majority of them are fixed after some weeks or months idk how long it’ll take

[remote leaf]

Its playable just gotta deal with some growing pains

[rugged carbon]

are the items it comes with worth having outside of the map

[remote leaf]

It does crash but those are getting more infrequent

[remote leaf]

Yeah the boss seems fixed at least on unofficial

[remote leaf]

Oh definitely. The drakling a cool shoulder pet plus it allows u to get op loot . The veilwyn is awesome to thsn there's the elderclaw which is cool. The fab crossbow is pretty cool. Theres soooo much its definitely worth it

[rugged carbon]

ah i see i’ll look into it more then

[misty turtle]

nice addition to your gameplay but the creature like drakeling will be separate later from dlc i believe

Has anyone else had problems with a milestone asking you to harvest 10K rare resources but nothing is counting towards it?

Astraeos map worth it?

[ionic eagle]

Thanks for confirming. No one has said anything so i thought maybe it was just us

[clear sleet]

No. Its me to. And i cant stop crashing. Every 2 minutes . so im giving up for bow. Maybe they will fix it one day but im not holding my breath .

[ionic eagle]

Unofficial? Mods? We had some ppl in our tribe who couldnt stop crashing on astraeos until we removed all our mod and non mod cryo hospitals, artifact stands, and tek doors.

[bold dock]

learned the hard way that carts refills only work when the cart is rendered, so without a maewing or tek troug there's really nothing better i can do than hand feeding, right?

official, LC

[runic ore]

they said they gonna separate them no idea then

[strong pebble]

Anyone know how to force ark to update when it says i need more storage space (10gb update with 100+gb free space)

[humble walrus]

Anyone know of a mod that has like mermaid cosmetics?

[loud breach]

when are they getting all sorted out though? it's been over a month now and we're getting closer to the release of Genesis 1

[loud breach]

next year 😞

[misty turtle]

[loud breach]

yes but ya have to go all the way to 0%

[misty turtle]

do you know any mod that add Ab creatures into other map like rag

[runic ore]

Ty, went to 10% with repaer i guess time to baby sit it xd

[loud breach]

try freeing up extra 50-75 GB

[loud breach]

ya want the exclusive creatures or Aberrant?

[strong pebble]

that doesnt help man.. id like to not have to delete other games every time ark needs a tiny update

when i clearly have space for it..

[loud breach]

that's now Steam patches ASA unfortunately

ya need as much space as the game itself

[strong pebble]

surely theres a workaround somehow...its pretty ridiculous... especially if consoles have the same issue

[loud breach]

the game will get bigger soon too so it's about to become a lot worse if ya don't start freeing up space

nope, consoles don't have this issue because updates there patches the game directly

[fiery tree]

sadly he is right its just how ark is u either free up space or buy more of it

[strong pebble]

Would be nice to be able to see at least exactly how much a specific update needs (whatever number higher than the stated download size is)

[fiery tree]

unles u have like 2tbs of ssd space and like 1,.8tbs are full with games then just remove some

[loud breach]

doesn't matter, even a 1MB update will still patch the whole game temporarily

[humble ginkgo]

Hi all
Some players are losing half of their base on lost colony when they are offline on a pve server, anyone have any ideas ?

[bold dock]

wdym? are the structures gone?

[leaden rain]

Having 60 fps native is imposible I got a 5080 and is horrible the optimization

Playing in 1440p

[bold dock]

pluging a 5080 into a potato doesnt necessarily generate good performance

[strong pebble]

DLSS frame generation was the primary thing that helped me

[leaden rain]

Wym potato

[loud breach]

official?

[fiery tree]

i doubt someone has enough funds to buy 5080 and doesnt have enough to get other stuff equal to it

[bold dock]

only that the other components are just as important

[hoary canyon]

Dunno... you seen ram prices? When GPUs where scalped, they wernt x5 the price :p

[leaden rain]

7 7800x3d is potato?

[fiery tree]

i mean i run 9800x3d 64 gigs of ram and 9070xt can play epic on 60 no issues

[bold dock]

its not about the funds its more about realizing that a good graphics card is not all there is to upgrading your system

[leaden rain]

How

[hoary canyon]

Yeah.. with FSR FG.

[fiery tree]

its not all but who the hack gets 5080 and hooks it to i5 7000 series like come on that just makes 0 sense

[fiery tree]

do u use any commands? remove fog and clouds boom +15 20 fps

[leaden rain]

Oh that makes sense I’ll native just get 30 FPS on lost colony idk why breh

[leaden rain]

No, I think with 5080 I wouldn’t need that

[fiery tree]

i mean

[hoary canyon]

Why mentions I5 7000?

[leaden rain]

FG is good just the latency is sucks

200-300ms

[hoary canyon]

Which is why I corrected that other person about Reflex

[fiery tree]

cuz its old CPU and no one would not replace it while having 5080 card

[hoary canyon]

Nobody mentioned that CPU other then you o.lO

[fiery tree]

i doubt anyone running 5080 gpu has ddr4 ram

[leaden rain]

I don’t think with 7 7800x3d I would have problems

[night flicker]

either ur running all settings on max or ur pc is poorly optimized, cuz i get 80 fps(capped it to avoid major dips) no frame gen, dlss quality 9800x3d 64gb ram 5070 ti

[fiery tree]

i am not even talking to u ffs i was answeing to Hawlk sayiung that other components need to be complumentary and just given example as to why no one would hook up latest gen card to some old tech cpu or ram

[leaden rain]

Im running all epic also

[night flicker]

thats why ur struggling then, 5080 doesnt cover all epic settings 😂

[fiery tree]

ark is unoptimized game if u wanna run it full epic drop yr resolution to 75 and use those 2 commands ull have yr 60 fpos

[leaden rain]

Imposible 5080 is better than 9070 XT

[fiery tree]

if u dont wenna compromise even that much then thats yr issue even people with 5090s aint getting 60 when they crank epic on everything

[hoary canyon]

Dude I too can play medium 1440P DLSS without framegen on a RTX 4070 Sup[er with 80-90 FPS.... on a ryzen 5 7600x non3d

[fiery tree]

maybe in world but not in bases so just gotta deal with some compromisation

[night flicker]

wrong person i didnt say anything about that gpu itd be even worse for that

[fiery tree]

brotha thinks ark is optimized like GTA5

now i am curious what i get with cranked up epic settings no FSR and no commands

[hoary canyon]

I dont know, You try it cause only you can tell.

[fiery tree]

i mean i get 50-55 in base full blast epic resolution scale on 100 with my pc specs

[hoary canyon]

And because its in base you're not doing much I personally would just run that

[fiery tree]

turned off fog even in base +15 i get clouds off its 80+ so idk how the hack he struggles with 5080

[hoary canyon]

How does fog get you +15 or +80 for clouds when it does absolutely nothing for me

[fiery tree]

removing fog and cluds have huge impact on performance

[hoary canyon]

Not for me o.O

[fiery tree]

so idk how it has 0 impact on yr machine cuz yr card is techincally above mine

[hoary canyon]

I dont even have his setup. I have a slightly worse setup and thats it.

[fiery tree]

i mean tbh idc how game looks i can play it even on lowest settings for all i care

[hoary canyon]

I cant, not with the bluirryness that lowest setting gets you

[fiery tree]

i just dont get people coming here to cry how they have bad performance yet dont wanna compensate with anything knowing that ark has one of the shittest coptimizations known to man

[hoary canyon]

People are doing that. They are critisizing devs all the time lol

[night flicker]

yea idk why people feel need to run max settings and get mad when they get poor performance

[fiery tree]

i dont either keep some on medioum like why do i need to see into narnia all the trees on the map

keep things that matter on epic if thats what u like but only those that matter

[night flicker]

only epic setting worth it is view distance

[fiery tree]

thast probably only thing ill never put on epic

[night flicker]

nothing worse than going fast and running into something cause u didnt see it fast enough

[hoary canyon]

Personally the unsuspecting moments are fun

[fiery tree]

Meh if someone dont know the map u play on and where bases are then idk what to say

[hoary canyon]

I play singleplayer

[fiery tree]

Epic is dumb to keep epic and would u look at it it has high impact on performance

[hoary canyon]

I dotn got the issue with other players or dealing with PVP

[night flicker]

view distance is pretty important if you arent playing modern tamagotchi 💀

[fiery tree]

Modern what?

[night flicker]

digital pet raising game for old people

[fiery tree]

Last time i checked we spoke of ark why bring view distance for some other game into it

[night flicker]

its making a comparison if you arent just a breeder, then having a further view distance helps

[bold dock]

imagine being so old, noone gets your references any more

[grizzled plank]

if i had to guess something broke on your end

[fiery tree]

Making a comparing in a completely different game

[grizzled plank]

AMD seems to be more stable for playing this game (?!) idk

[fiery tree]

Make it make sense

Nothing is broke 5080 is strong card he/she just dont wanna make any sacrificed to increase their fps

[hoary canyon]

Raster isnt that strong compared to previous gen tbh

[grizzled plank]

the 50 series is a refresh.

nothing new other than better AI accel and more gatekeeping

[fiery tree]

Dont matter if its better then previous gen its strong enough to run this game on epic with some small sacrifices

[night flicker]

its called an analogy, education system is failing us

[hoary canyon]

It does matter quite matter. Raster performance should be 25% improvement or its not worth price upgrading

[fiery tree]

We all know that 50 series was just a refresh and almost nothing new was added

[grizzled plank]

he did say disabling cloud didnt help him at all

[fiery tree]

Down the resolution scale from 100 to 70 75

[grizzled plank]

do find that weird tho

[fiery tree]

But aint no way that command works for all but not for this person

[grizzled plank]

what the game says is 100% is is 85% anyway kek

[fiery tree]

So ill asume he aint putting in correct ones

[hoary canyon]

If I use that command it litterally doesnt add that amount of FPS. It onlly adds 2-3.

And according to you this is inccorect r.ShadowQuality 0 | R.Shadow.Virtual.Enable 0 | r.VolumetricCloud 0 | r.VolumetricFog 0

[grizzled plank]

its diferent for everyone

[grizzled plank]

well, it is, incorrect : )

[fiery tree]

As i said

[hoary canyon]

It is not.

[grizzled plank]

enter them one by one, otherwise none of those will apply

[hoary canyon]

What hte | does is split the commands. They will apply cause it litteralyl removes fog and clouds.

[grizzled plank]

does it disable shadows tho ?

[hoary canyon]

Yes.

I use it on abberation cause shadows otherwise it keeps crashing.

[grizzled plank]

okay weird cuz that stucture of commands literally **never ** worked for me

[fiery tree]

Then its something else idk like for me it works perfectly but i play on servers not sp

[hoary canyon]

You can double tap tilde key and you will see it applies.

[toxic crown]

Does anyone know how to recover a character lost due to a server rollback?

[fiery tree]

So it could be down to that but thats also something that shouldnt happen

[fiery tree]

If official open a ticket if private ask mod or owner of cluster

[grizzled plank]

yeah, i did, said nothing that would mean it applied kek

[night flicker]

if ur crashing then u got an instability problem most likely not settings issue

[hoary canyon]

I do not. Every other map runs fine.. Every other heavy game runs fine. Every other UE5 game runs fine

[fiery tree]

Ark is weird u gotta remember that

[grizzled plank]

must be another issue from the UE 5.5 downgrade upgrade

[night flicker]

run aida 64 stability test for an hr and will see, different maps different ways of stressing

[grizzled plank]

i literally went back to play one of the early versions of the game from back when it launched
and.. it ran better 🤣

[hoary canyon]

What makes aida64 so special when you have specialised tools like memtest

[grizzled plank]

and looked better

since the 5.5 upgrade LOD's, textures, shadows have been nerfed to the ground and the game runs worse
trully incredible

[leaden rain]

Without any commands everything epic native 30 fps on official idk but it sucks the optimization

[grizzled plank]

yeah you have to lower settings and play with them for something playable

[hoary canyon]

My fps wasnt ever the issue, it was the constant crashing.

[grizzled plank]

hmm, so my current settings get me the same performance as i got in 5.2 at 75% rez medium settings, but rendering at native
but if i compare to my perf in 5.2 with the some optimization effort on my part 5.2 performs better

[night flicker]

memtest is better at finding bad ram, aida is better at finding instability in settings, UE is tough on ram timings if you go to tight, even some bad expo/xmp settings can give u crashes

[hoary canyon]

No other UE5 game has problems on much much higher settings 😛

[grizzled plank]

and ive put in a lot more effort optmizing with the current build than i did in 5.2
also thats just on the island, extinction for example runs much worse than it

also discounting how much worse LOD's and textures are

[candid wren]

Hello any1 know where i can find the next sunnsetted servers ??

[stoic smelt]

thankyou to the devs for recovering my toon 🙂

[drowsy idol]

why are wild dinos no longer healing after eating a carcass?

[loud breach]

intentionally been disabled

probably won't be changed anytime soon

use a Snow Owl if ya want to heal wild animals

[drowsy idol]

are there any mods enabling this

[loud breach]

nope

there are mods that make the Snow Owl spawn on other maps if ya want

but at that point, might as well just spawn one in

[drowsy idol]

pff

like tamed dinos cant eat all dead baby dinos,but if you jumped off the tame would eat it if set to neutral,now it isnt doing that either

[swift sable]

Official server Lost Colony A serious copy Bug that can copy all resources on 😂

[loud breach]

how?

[fiery tree]

He saw a ss of 1000s of r1 seeds

[remote leaf]

Yes but they've only been back about 3 weeks. Its definitely better than it was 3 weeks ago

[half creek]

why are random growing dinos still starving to death with plenty of food? 90% adols starve and 30% juvs just fine

[loud breach]

are ya using a high food stat Maeguana by chance?

[remote leaf]

Idk mine are not dying

[half creek]

happening on LC, no mae, happend on val too with no mae

totally random, ones closer/further from trough are just fine, ones with less food fine,

[loud breach]

are your troughs on a cart?

[half creek]

no

0 logical reason for it, not dino/distance/map/location/food type

just random death the moment I login

been happening for months

[loud breach]

official or unofficial?

[half creek]

official, and I have tried/changed so many things to try to fix it

and yes all on passive, so not like they ran out of range or something silly

triplet veils, 2 female, 1 male, all standing next to each other, the 2 females standing 1 closer to trough, 1 further away, male in the middle. the 2 females are fine, the middle male starved. best example

probably the 10th time this has happened

[unique moss]

I found on Astraeos map tek Parasaur, so r there also Tek Rexes and Tek Gigas or not?

[compact parrot]

Day#5 of complaining about how premium mods are privileged dynamic downloads for not being able to be removed individually from the client's Installed Mods tab when they've never purchased it.
Where's that Uninstall button next to the Purchase button, WC?

[last sedge]

Got the same issue, gonna try and delete the files manually

[ashen summit]

does anybody know how to fix the thrall spawns in the lost colony city? its completely empty. i am on my server.

[west cosmos]

Hey so I don't know where to post this but when I update my tribes governance to personal taming/personally ridden my tribe members are still able to whistle my dinos the go there command resulting in them moving my dinos when they are just trying to move thier own. Is this a bug and if so how can I talk with dev about getting this noticed?

[opaque stump]

So I have a pretty severe bug with the lost colony boss fight. Firstly I don't ever see the cut scenes, they just don't play for me. But worse when it gets to the queen fight I don't get the tek spear. It's happened twice for my character.

Anyone else had similar?

[magic iron]

You have to damage the boss
Then blow her up with a crystal
Then you can pickup spear

I’ve had one fight where I could not access it , out of 10 or so

Above your hot bar there is a callout for use tek spear

[opaque stump]

No you misunderstand, I hit her, get the prompt to pick it up and when I go to the pedestal and press the button I don't get one in my hands and the prompt to use it isn't there at all. Even if I try pressing the buttons (a friend told them from his screen) it doesn't work.

[magic iron]

Never heard of that one
I’ve had a few where it didn’t automatically give it to me
But LB+up on dpad worked

But if you don’t ever see videos or anything you’ve gotta be bugged
Have you tried killing yourself with a thrall ?

[opaque stump]

I tried killing myself but not with a thrall. It's almost like game doesn't properly recognise I'm in there. Because I used my implant last time to get out and it didn't fail, I had to wait until it timed out to get my dinos back.

[gray hare]

Need to fix the boss on LC. Cannot beat something that is broken. Can't even red gun it.

[loud breach]

aside from Tek Trike, all other Tek variants do spawn in Astraeos, yes

[loud breach]

ya don't want those to spawn there anyways, they cause so much lag

[loud breach]

not a bug, it is working as intended

add your tames to a specified group to avoid this

[loud breach]

try using multiple troughs

could be a bug on official too

[final spear]

When you have to eat your implant because you have 120 lb worth of dog whistles in your inventory

[loud breach]

are ya capturing your Armadoggo while it is in companion mode?

[paper rune]

Anyone know how to fix tek bunkers when I raid a tek bunker it’s all bugged and there are walls everywhere

[loud breach]

isn't that how how Tek bunkers are??

it could be one that's been abandoned or made as decoy 🤔

[ashen summit]

lol dont have any lag caused by them...

[final spear]

They are STILL!?! having mod server issues?

[gray hare]

Try beating a boss that is broken and want lose health when battling. The Lost Colony boss is broken don't attempt it

[river zenith]

Yall can people see my cosmetics when playing in a server or non dedicated?

[ember nymph]

anyone else having issues with custom skins uninstalling randomly? I've downloaded couple skins like 10 times now since the update that broke skins. Heck above the ratings it says in blue box installed but above that just install in orange. Is there a workround?

[loud breach]

nope

[ember nymph]

People defo can see cosmetics if they have download cosmetics enabled.

[runic parcel]

I find this too, incredibly frustrating that it does not automatically update mods/cosmetics

[runic parcel]

IV heard this a few times now. Shame that it's a common ark experience on newly released PAID content

[velvet mountain]

nitrado site not working for anybody else or just me?

[loud breach]

it says

selected service is not running at the moment

[fair wyvern]

nitrado is undergoing maintenance atm

[velvet mountain]

ahh alright thanks!

[river zenith]

OK thx

[crystal horizon]

Anyone Astros server constantly crashing?

[gray hare]

@runic parcel yes it is did it 3 times in a row and it will not lose health when battling and can't break the tether to stop the health from regenerating to be able to beat

[pulsar bluff]

Hii

[low ether]

How is Ascended going to actually be on switch 2? I heard that it's supposed to have the same level of graphics as xbox series X and get 30 fps.

[loud breach]

ain't no way, it'll be close to the X

best ya can hope for is Series S

the upcoming 5.7 Unreal Engine upgrade is what they're banking on

[fair wyvern]

30fps at 720p isn’t that hard to achieve.

[remote leaf]

I've done gamma 3x no issues since the last update

[halcyon cipher]

Since the update, alot of ppl have lost their inventory, not just on person but in fridges, vaults etc. This happening to anyone else? Even my dermis are gone off the bases lol

[low ether]

Doesn't the switch 2 have 1080p handheld and 4k docked?

[gray hare]

@remote leaf I'm talking about the alpha and it is broken

[remote leaf]

Well u probably should go read the article cuz itll tell u that its made possible because of ue 5.7

[fair wyvern]

oh is it 1080p? my bad. must be the engine update that’ll do all the heavy lifting then

[low ether]

lol I hope it actually works well and looks good because I love handhelds

Though I feel that it will die on Gen 2 regardless of optimizations...

[fair wyvern]

let’s hope for the best

[low ether]

Yeah

[remote leaf]

The only difference between alpha and gamma is the health and dmg of the boss. So I doubt that it is broken. Its definitely harder to break the tether since the update. But I dont think its broken

[low ether]

I just hope they don't butcher the graphics for it like they did for evolved

[loud breach]

pretty much guaranteed they will because ASA is not optimized for anything short of a nasa super PC

[lone yacht]

Idk why it always runs so bad 😔

[loud breach]

not optimized for anything short of a nasa super PC

[remote leaf]

Its a massive game. And its not exactly meant to b run on console ans handheld or less than a high-end pc. Needs alot of optimization byt its still my favorite gane so I deal with the issues lol

[full fog]

is there an asa mod that allows you to place objects to mine (fabricators for metal, dead, penguins for poly, element nodes) that will consistently respawn? trying to make my single player world a bit easier

[loud breach]

Try Super Cryo Storage

It has a feature where ya can place creatures inside the mod Terminal for them to passively generate the resources

[full fog]

oh that is nice

how do you know what dino generates what resource?

[loud breach]

ya can even select a resource on a Gacha, plop it inside and it'll generate that resource

there's a default list but ya can add anything by yourself

For example, Achatina = Organic Polymer + Achatina Paste

[full fog]

so you would go into the admin menu for that?

[loud breach]

yep, straight from the Terminal in-game, very console friendly

everything can be adjusted in-game

[full fog]

oh perfect ill give it a try prolly set gigas as element because they are kinda endgame anyway

[loud breach]

there is just 1 setting that ya should be aware of

It's disabled by default, Keep Inventory

[full fog]

oh i would want that disabled

[loud breach]

DO NOT ENABLE THIS

it's off by default so no worries but just in case ya got curios

[full fog]

ok good i wouldn't want it enabled anyway that kinda ruins the experience a bit but thank you for letting me know

[loud breach]

if ya are on Extinction, tame a pair of Gacha then breed until ya get one that generates Element Dust

plop that into the mod Terminal and ya will have infinite Element Dust

[full fog]

im on rag 🙁

[loud breach]

then hop into Extinction quickly

I personally don't consider Giga an end game tame

[full fog]

yeah i would but im also on a nitrado serv

the settings are confusing to adjust on single player

i also can't adjust ini on single player to adjust crafting skill

[tawny wadi]

Yes, constantly since last night. So, I was chatting with Nitrado AI support....I sent my crash log. The first suggestion was to kill all creatures in a specified area (including my tames...). The other was to restore to a back up 5 years ago. 😑 Anyone good at reading crash logs and interpreting what to do? This is why some AI should be abolished.

[loud breach]

start by disabling mods one by one

[loud breach]

what's the issue? upload your character and place some structure in the Terminal then pull it from the other map

or just cheat in a pair of random level Gacha and start breeding

don't let this stupid game walk over ya with reasons like "I wanna play the intended way and cheating is lazy" when ya already paid for the base game + your server

if this game worked the way it was intended on console, ya wouldn't have to pay extra just to play it

[grave grove]

are there bob notes on lc?

[lyric iris]

If i have a gene scanner set to basilisk will it point out nearby alpha basilisk or normal basilisk only?

[tacit belfry]

hi

[runic ore]

since some time outposts "mark/icons" dont show for me how do i fix it?

[loud breach]

nope

[loud breach]

try checking your map filters

[runic ore]

whats that?

[loud breach]

open your map and look at the bottom

there should be filters

Player, Death Points, Missions... etc

check if the missions filter is disabled

[runic ore]

ty didnt know it existed

[loud breach]

up until I almost recently Giga raged because of this garbage game, me too 😂

any Aureliax experts here?

I just recently learned that increasing the food stat makes the healing ray more effective which got me wondered about the Fatty trait

is it a waste to put 3 Tier 3 Fatty with a 124 saddle?

I'm looking into mutating one to 254 in food with at least 50 base stat

Heads up to anyone having creatures spawn issue on Single Player and are using the Bobers Stacking mod

apparently, Wildcard messed something up so try updating the mod to the update that just got released

[willow valley]

the update is not currently out expect 8 AM CET for Curseforge certification

[loud breach]

😲👍

[bleak lava]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Category:Rare_resources "Harvest 10000 rare resources" yeah well fuck off WC your wiki is as bullshit as your devskills silicate ain't a rare resource at least according to your skill tree.

so is wool btw.

[loud breach]

what counts then?

[willow valley]

The Wiki is not managed by Wildcard.

[faint flax]

hmm wonder if 30k hp and rest into melee enough for a alpha boss tho heard LQ can 1 shot and other bugs

[vapid topaz]

U can get 10k pearls easily with an angler on 2x. Slower on hand but still doable

[bleak lava]

apparently sap and black pearls but since WC is incompetent af u can just travel with 10k sap from one map to another and boom it counts as if you farmed them lmao

[bleak lava]

works even faster by traveling with 10k sap in inv lmao

[vapid topaz]

I didn't even know this but lmao

[desert eagle]

does someone have a discord with arkpocalypse anouncements for server lauches ?

[quasi sparrow]

can i reales a thrall only on lost colony ?

[fading ice]

here 🤔

[ripe haven]

can someone help me? i seem to have a bug where the drakeling is not spawning the hoard chests

[loud breach]

without using mods, yes

[loud breach]

known issue, ya need to have Bob Tales purchased

just wait until they address it

in the meantime, if your chests are getting close to expire, use the Warbench to combine them into one

[ripe haven]

🧍‍♀️ oh i see

[loud breach]

if ya see Bob Tall Tales on sale, I'd recommend getting it

it's the only premium content that's worth paying for in this miserable game

[rugged carbon]

anybody have a recommended method at killing an alpha mosa

• alpha leed

[pearl drift]

Is Astraeos worth buying?

[wheat relic]

i got an invisble inventory of structures and dinos bug, does anyone know how to fix this?

[silent matrix]

Basilosaurus, good for alpha tuso too

[unique moss]

Is there any flying dino faster then Wyverns? (not including Pteranodon)

[silent matrix]

Griffin

[rugged carbon]

ive got alpha tuso down i just need alpha mosa and leed for overseer

[unique moss]

isnt Megalodon giving bleeding damage also?

[silent matrix]

Same answer, basilosaurus

[unique moss]

thanks

[silent matrix]

You're welcome

[remote leaf]

Only?!

[remote leaf]

Definitely especially since there's an amazing update coming up

[rugged carbon]

dam wish I knew astraeos was still getting updated when it was on half off on steam two weeks ago

[unique moss]

thats so P2W map, u have like everything here, including OSDs from EXT and much more 😄 So yeah

[earnest plank]

The game need serious optimize update to all platforms it sucks at performance especially lost colny dlc

[remote leaf]

Its getting better. This weekd updates were definitely much needed and provided a much needed improvement. Long way to go but at least I was Ble to complete gamma 3x yesterday

[low ether]

My Ice titan was an alpha when I tamed it, but when I relogged a few minutes ago now it's a gamma? what the heck?

[loud breach]

group of Megalodons, they bleed

[loud breach]

not on console, no, not even if ya have your own dedicated server

the map is just too big and it's about to get even bigger soon

[loud breach]

yes, name one other thing that isn't just pay 2 win tame or a broken map

[loud breach]

even better than Extinction because only Red and Purple OSD spawn there

[loud breach]

try uploading it then downloading it again

it'll take time though so ya better have a Tek Transmitter

[remote leaf]

Pay 2 win? None of what ark has is pay 2 win imo. Go play cod and you'll see whst pay 2 win is.

[loud breach]

Ya haven't messed with a Pyromane I assume?

Bob Tall Tales itself is pay 2 win

[last sedge]

any dlc has been paid to win since ASE

[loud breach]

it adds a creature that can revive a dead tame, literally the only in the game

[last sedge]

the mere fact u can live in a map others can't attack u

[loud breach]

and exclude 2/3 of the player base because console players constantly crash on Astraeos

[last sedge]

astraeos only has issues on official, a super massive map is never going to fully work on a place like official pve

[loud breach]

I even ranted in a reddit post that the the mod author made fully expecting that people will say otherwise but nope, mostly everyone agreed that the map is just not for console

It also has issues on Single Player, my character got corrupted twice

then my save file got corrupted soon after

[last sedge]

char getting corrup isn't map end

astra isn't that pushing consoles when gen2 released on ASE for ps4

[loud breach]

even on unofficial, some server owners admitted that console players struggle with Ragnarok and Astraeos especially

I think after this update, it might be

[last sedge]

the cycle of console of the curret gen not handling the ark of that time is nothing new

[loud breach]

then why did they even release the game on consoles? why didn't the Astraeos map creator make the map PC only?

what's the point of having this huge map that just crashes your game

[red bobcat]

The answer is simple, money

[loud breach]

I paid for a broken map that's about to get even more broken

[last sedge]

most console player would riot if they got restricted from content
and console is more than half of the mark of ark

[loud breach]

and this current is fine?

[low ether]

Thank you so much, that worked!

[loud breach]

console players paying for a map that barley functions?

just to be clear here, I'm not blaming the map creator

I fully know that it's out thier control

[tribal thunder]

I play on Xbox series X on Ast have crashed maybe once in 3 months, it's PS console that struggles

[loud breach]

just great, further alienating console players

it's like that one YouTube channel that makes videos of talking consoles

[marble sky]

So I play on a server with some friends and when we got on today, everything in storage is gone. Items are also missing from hotbar. Has anyone had this happen?

[remote leaf]

Oh I own all of the dlcs and no none of them are pay 2 win. Pay to win insinuates that u cant win without paying for something. When actually even tho yes these pod creatures are powerful and extremely useful they are not necessary to win.

[tribal thunder]

Yes our cluster had a similar issue today, we are using CS mod and it seems to be related to that@marble sky

[loud breach]

happened to me once, bad to restored a backup

[remote leaf]

Im on console, I rarely crash on astraeos

[marble sky]

We tried rollling back but that didn't help

[marble sky]

What is CS mod?

[tribal thunder]

Cyber structures QoL

[remote leaf]

Demand

[loud breach]

not this mod again, man

it's getting ridiculous

[marble sky]

I do have a stacking mod and a few furniture ones but that's it

[loud breach]

what stacking mod?

[remote leaf]

Nope im on ps5 rarely crash

[marble sky]

TG stacking

[loud breach]

do ya have other backups that ya can attempt to restore?

[remote leaf]

I've got tg stacking and no problems with inventory

[marble sky]

Okay that's good to know. This is just VERY annoying ya know. Everything just gone

[remote leaf]

Yeah im not sure whats going on there. What nap is it on. I had ppl have that issue on rag a couple weeks ago but....

[marble sky]

We are on Ragnarok

[remote leaf]

I think it was because of an update on rag but I cant prove it

I just replaced the inventories for those affected by it

[last sedge]

why do people go for stack mods when they run a server or are on steam, just changing the ini fixes solves so many random issues this stack mods brings

[loud breach]

because ini doesn't reduce weight

ya need a mod for that which until a few weeks ago, the only weight reduction mod only worked until the next server/world restart

[last sedge]

if weight is a bother change the weight scaling on player and dinos, and increase it a bit
want to play game easier, fine
but they always go with what seems the easiest way and fail to see all the pitfall they have

[slate widget]

weight isn't even a problem anymore. the bearing traits are OP

[loud breach]

I personally don't like altering creature stats be it base or post tame

also, Element Transfer

[slate widget]

will never see how this is any different then a weight changing stack mod lol

[slate widget]

other mods can do that. there is even an entirely vanilla method by changing crafting recipes.

[loud breach]

because until few weeks ago, the only weight stacking mod available didn't function properly

[slate widget]

again, not talking about mods. ini

ini does not have that problem. the only people who can't use it are console singleplayer.

[last sedge]

the reason why ini changes are better, they not at risk of changing each update
