if i am on steam i can get the saves tho or what
steam/epic is not win10. win10 is the microsoft store not the OS
well i didnt think ark existed in the microsoft store
its only been there for 6 years 
Steam can get their saves from the list that Wildcard provided on their forum.
Microsoft (xbox-win10) and Sony have to use Nitrado.
ark does like doing that.
ive only been here for 6 months 
yeah it's gross my friend waa on her bird her game crashed and even though i was hosting her bird she was on vanished lmao
thats strange
might've just moved, birds don't like staying still.
hm...
you talking about the official saves?
Yes.
no it was completely gone when i looked 😂 i was right in front and the other bird was still there
we were talking about the regular sp saves
Ah
Anyway thank you guys for the help it sucks that we cant transfer but we appreciate you trying
its ARK, after all
was that on non-dedi or when you were hosting a dedicated
gotta add that to weird non-dedi bugs if it was.
it was non dedicated
before we even learned about dedicated lmao
we also went in and they were all dying for some reason
i didnt know the game kept going when we go offline
non-dedi/SP doesn't.
then i have no idea why they were all half health 😭 we werent online and they were fine when we got off
best guess I have is their health stat changed.
to 0?
because even if their health got halfed they should still live
Where I Find thyla in the island?
Is there anyone here that could possibly lend me a hand in setting up a booster server? I already have the server up and was playing with it last night and couldn’t get what I was looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated
There is an App called Beacon. It works amazing for server configuration
Awesome I’ll have to check into that and play around. With it thanks I really appreciate it
In redwoods
Is it possible to breed 2 defrent types of wyvrens or no?
Got some missing official servers, that mean they are ready to be saved by a person?
can someone of you brilliant tech geniusses give me the config line to change the gas ball crafting outcome in the s+ grinder from 1 per absorbent substrate to 5 (maybe)? i tried to follow the guide but it is just smashing me
Unless you rented a Nitrado server, you're not going to see the PS saves from the list provided by Wildcard.
Is there a place for new player to meet and learn together

Update your gpu driver
Verify files
Lmk if that dosent work as there may be another step
Start there though
ive verified them and my gpu is at the latest
In steam set ark to use the launch option to disable hibernation. You may also need to disable stasis but we move slowly.
i am using mods
Yes i see
this is a new pc and it should be able to run it
Pc specs do not cause this issue
oh?
Ark uses a hibernation setting. Only things within render distance "exist"
Some mods use code that requires usage of the tick timer default to unreal engine and if it is stasis mode it can error.
Disabling stasis should render the whole map and keep things ticking
most recent mods added were marnii wildlife, paleo ark, and ark additions
ah okay ill try it
Hibernation*
wheres the setting? is it in launch options?
lookin for it rn dont see ti
Open your Steam Library.
Right click the game's title and select. Properties. .
On the. General. tab you'll find. Launch Options. section
yeah im there rn
Should be one for disable hibernation
no theres not
Odd
Steam Library -> right click Ark -> properties -> General Tab -> Set Launch Options -> type "-preventhibernation" (without the quotation marks). Don't forget the "-".
okie!
Are beginners wiping tommorow and staying online or shutting down fully?
All official servers will be shut down entirely. The most recent community crunch in #announcements has a helpful time converter so you can keep track of it.
The only thing with beacon is that you can only do basic stuffs in order to do like loot drops or a fibercraft server you'll have to buy Omni beacon its like 14 o 15 dollars once you get that you can do more things with your server. then it is easier with Nitrado beacon was made for Nitrado but if you do G-portal then you'll have to copy and paste your config files Gameusersettings.ini and Game.ini to beacon
Hi guys, I wanted to ask you some questions. I play on an official legacy server and wanted to know how to save my data. Also, will the dinosaurs I have tamed also be saved or just my character data?
Check pinned messages in #general
when, or where can i find, will the offical server go down?
The most recent community crunch in #announcements has a helpful time converter so you can keep track of it.
ty
omg it worked im need to reclaim the dinos!
On my deinoschus I get 80 hp per mutation how much hp should I stack to
thank you so much
Yay!
youre a lifesaver!
the real pain will be reclaiming everything lol
got any tips to avoid issues in the future? this isnt the first time ive almost had to reset completely
You’re welcome! :)
Hopefully it should be okay now
What are the things called that you a low to ground and you can build off I can’t find them
What’s a good starter for gathering wood? Trike?
I use a mammoth beavers are good to I think
How tf am I getting a mammoth
im scared about ascending on " The Island ", ive heard lots of people having their characters deleted after ascension, is there any way for me to avoid this? (im on single player/non dedicated).
What’s the reason when mutating I meant to do seperate chains for different stats why can’t I do it all in one chain
I've found that after ascension just close the game instead of trying to downlaod character.
Game always seems to crash when you try to download right after ascension
so immediately after the cutscene i just alt+f4?
hi, the reason is because mutations will stack making it significantly harder to not only track mutations but to get them since youll reach the 20/20 limit just faster (keep in mind its not a limit, but it reduced mutations by 50%), youll see if you ever breed colors together that by the end of it your dinos will have 200 or more mutations even though they really dont
Yeah but once I get to 20/20 on female side and male I just breed them all over to female side so how does it make a diffeeence?
Wait till the download character screen pops up then alt f4
To make mutation breeding simple
Males don't matter if they go over 20/20
Just make sure females never do
Ok I understand that but why does it need to be diffeeent chains if the females get to 20/20 I’ll just breed over to the males right?
At the end of the day
What u Wana do is have ur male with all the mutations on him as the main breeder
The females can be low lvl or bad stats or whatever for mutating so long as they not over 20/20
I think what ur asking about is: In some cases u can pop a female mutated baby with over 20/20
Keep the female, just so u can pop a new male with the mutation
And transfer that mutated stat to a male
But that female can't mutate stats
Yeah so I can technically breed any mutations in the same stack right as long as I keep an eye on the family tree make sure females don’t go to 20/20 if do breed it over right?
Yh So u Wana keep older females not replacing usually
Males u Wana replace
Yep that’s what I’m doing
Then sounds like ur doing mutations right
More females, the more chance of mutations 2
I just wanna know why iv been told not to do melee and health in the stack? Why is that bad
Yeah I made 13 females grow up into each other I get mutations relatively quick could also get more if I ever want
Cause some ppl are weird about it
They say it's best 2 focus 1 stat due to end game lvl limitations and stats
But 2 me it doesn't matter I'd take whatever I can get early on
So like, end game it's not possible to have max stats in both hp/melee
So they think it's best 2 keep lines separate and mix later
Like Bloodstalkers on officials are a good example
How does this work? I think after that may understand?
Bloodstalkers u want hp/melee
Some ppl want stat with max melee
Some ppl want smth else
The lvl of a dino is the dinos stats
Dino lvl = stats
Each stat/lvl has point systems
Using breeding calculators can help with breeding and knowing the stats
Usually the max dino lvl is 450
I’m on sp I don’t think there is a max Dino lvl just the 255 points
Meaning there's limitations to how many stat points u can have on a dino
Well seeing I don’t have a max lvl I can do the stats all together?
I 4get if there is a limit on sp
But there is a way to turn off the limit
Yh, and this woulda been long end game stuff anyways
Cause Officals would be hard 2 ever get 2
Alright seeing I need health,melee stam and weight for my deinonychus I may aswell keep any mutations of those but might only keep the males for weight and stam to save time if it’s a health or melee I’ll breed it over. That’s should work right?
Just had a look seems like on sp there’s no limit
Then I guess ur free to mutate whatever 🤷♂️
Depends on the dino sometimes
Usually hp/melee is best
It’s deinochyus I’m focusing health I think I’m gonna go 120 hp stat 100 melee 60 weight and 60 stam give or take the one point if it’s odd
Oh wait iv got a problem I was breeding my female into a male but I got a double mutation am I alright to keep it or do I need to get rid of it
The mutation was on a female?
I was breeding the female that got a mutation over to a male and got it
Sounds fine
Should I hatch him and see what side the family tree it goes on?
It doesn't really matter?
If it's a male it never matters
Only look to better stats
yes, you don't need to worry about the limit (except 253/254 in any stat)
the side the you got the mutation doesn't matter, just the gender of the mutated baby. but as long as you breed mutated with unmutated it doesn't matter.
It did come from a female with the mutations though I hadn’t put it to a male yet though? So that dosnt matter?
as long as its mutated breeding with unmutated it doesn't matter
just better to get males as you can breed with multiple female dinos.
Wait let me double check males can’t go over 20/20 but females can righ?
U can use the female with mutations
Just to get a male with the better stats
Then Breed with the male
No, you want one side to stay at 0/20 and the other to be the mutated one. again gender doesn't matter 
That female u can ignore using to mutate if it's over 20/20
So how come one side has 1/20 then the other has 19/20?
The basics is
Males don't matter
Females u don't Wana go over 20/20
if the female is mutated (x/20), you breed with a unmutated male (0/20) and the other one.
Well it has the base stats of the wild tames but says 1/20 I’m confused
if you are looking at the offspring then its showing where it got a mutation from.
Has it just got a colour mutation then?
mutations always change a stat and a color
most likely got speed or a hidden stat if the dino has one.
If it's mutated but looks like same stats
It coulda gone 2 speed which is a wasted hidden stat or color
Is that fine then cause that’s what iv been using?
speed doesn't do anything, if you don't want the color just ignore it and don't use that one 
Oh fuck I’m dumb I see what iv done iv been using base females 0/0 0/0 but when I breed a male for when I need it that got a speed mutation so everything’s fine then I think
Oh, also. if you are breeding for stats and not color, do all the colors at the end. keep any mutations that give cool colors and breed them in at the end 
Yeah that’s what iv done
Alright I’ll get rid of that male I just got and get a 0/0 male with out a speed mutation that should make more sense
I remember the first time I bred for mutations 😂 I did it all wrong and got like 5-6 mutations before I hit the limit
then I realized what went wrong and never finished lol.
I think I still have those deinos too 
Wait is it fine to say have 1/20 on one side then have x/20 or does one side have to be 0?
Yeah I was worried about doing that
yeah, the easiest way to explain is only breed mutated with an unmutated. as long as you do that it'll never go wrong.
Doesn't matter if it's 19/20
Just don't wana hit 20/20 or above on females
Yeah alright cause I messed up at one point got one side to 1/20 I really didn’t want to have to restart
Usually u stay with old females and never replace them so it doesn't happen
as long as one stays below 20/20 then you can get mutations. using unmutated just means the numbers won't go crazy and it'll be an actually number for mutations.
U can always just Tame a random shit wild female and mutate with them for example
Or if ur rich, clone
Iv already got 13 females set at 0/0 0/0 that iv bread out for the mutations
I tried to find a picture of my deinos and I got a nightmare instead
Oh god lol, that’s what I’m mutating rn just look I tiny bit different
judging by the level that is one of my mutated ones 
Oh Jesus how many mutatations did you do mine arnt even lvl 200 yet
Lol, I play difficulty 10 so my baseline was about 300 give or take depending on the stat difference
Oh alright
On officials if u ever say base line pop out lvl390 ish
That meant it was capped on mutations
Cause u could lvl it to 450
wild baseline because they don't get TE 
I don't play officials as you can see from the difficulty 10 comment lol
Iv played on unofficial and we got like level 700 wyverns so I feel week now with 200 deinochyus
I had a level 700 mana on one of my saves
I'm pretty sure I changed leveling as I didn't mutate when I played ext.
we should probably continue this in #ark-survival-ascended 
Oh alright
I just want the mod (ark additions the collection) for more slithery bois like bigger sarcos but it says a cerato won’t spawn and idk what that means, also the wiki doesn’t say how to tame it and idk what will happen if I do it mid play through
Answered in #unofficial-setup-help.
anyone know good ark pvp servers?
no
Hey, anybody know why my game would be so bright at night? i can see perfectly but for my friends it's pitch black. Gamma settings are set to default and i have no GFX overlay, genuinly cant work out why
id post a picture but it wont let me
maybe you have some effect overlay that you aren't aware of
i dont
or i cant seem to find any
how bright?
feels like i have night vision, its weird
because there might not be a reason for you to get rid of them
i can see perfectly at night
I mean that would just help
could be the settings on your personal computer compared to theirs
well yeah, but its cheaty and not meant to be that way, thus why i want rid of it
is it bright during the day?
looks normal in the day
or more brighter than your friend
doesnt look any birghter, but maybe its just hard to notice in the day
that's kinda weird, I'd verify your game files and see if smths gone awry there
yeah tried that already, i guess i'll just keep playing around with it
did it happen even when you first started playing or is it a new thing
what is the highest dino level possible i know its x number of level up after tame or hatching but i dont know x?
depends on your difficulty
i dont understand about what happened when i use singleplayer settings
is there somebody who can explain it for me? (pls ping me too)
i thouhg diffuctly effected the level at which dinos spawned rather then the amount of times you can level up a dino?
yes but after all the times you level them up is fixed, means a level one levelled up 50 times is level 51, a level 2 would be 52
ah so you cna level them up 50 times thanks
88
thanks
There are different ways to join a server in ARK: Survival Evolved, depending on whether you are using Steam or Epic Games launcher, and whether you know the server IP address or not. Here are some possible methods:
If you are using Steam and you know the server IP address, you can use the Steam server browser to add the server to your favorites list and then join it from there. To do this, open Steam and select View > Servers > Favorites > Add Server By IP Address. Enter the IP address and the query port of the server, and click Add This Address To Favorites. Then, launch ARK and select Join ARK. Change the Session Filter to Favorites and refresh the list. You should see your server and be able to join it. If the server is password protected, you will need to enter the password as well12.
If you are using Steam and you don’t know the server IP address, you can use the in-game server browser to find the server by its name. To do this, launch ARK and select Join ARK. Change the Session Filter to Unofficial or Official, depending on the type of server you want to join. You can also use the search bar to type the name of the server. If the server is password protected, you will need to enable the Show Password Protected filter and enter the password when prompted.
If you are using Epic Games and you know the server IP address, you can use the direct start option to join the server. To do this, open Epic Games and start ARK. Select Join ARK and enter the name of the server at the top. Change the Session Filter to Unofficial Servers and disable the Auto Favorite Played Sessions filter. Enable or disable the Show Password Protected filter, depending on the server. Then, enter the IP address and the query port of the server in the following format: IP:Port. For example, 95.156.194.207:40001. Click Join and enter the password if needed3.
@true umbra
my ai is still typing this up too xD she wont stop
apparently there are lots of ways to join xD
and yes on the ip address. dms are closed remember
only you need the servers IP address not your own..
@true umbra
wait what
how to find that again
is it not just the
u go to like the ipfinder and just find ur ip address or is it different for servers
Right-click the Steam icon in your taskbar. Next, select servers and check the history of the server you were connected to. Once you find the server name, right-click the name and select view server info to reveal the server address.
what if i am on epic, i am the one on epic and my friend is the one on steam
you sent me the IP to your computer which i deleted from my messages on my end cause i dont like that info mailed to me. but yea thats not gonna find yours. and same concept with epic
you just need to go to the server and look at its info
ip pathfinder just helps you find your own i do believe. which can be found in settings and device info
it works with non dedicated servers?
yes all servers get their own IP port. even mine for xbox have them
Reported for viewing another’s IP
so how do i check my ip for epic games?
Robby’s reported to for sending unsolicited ip pics
I’ll quit distracting you guys now
yes okay thanks
same concept as steam.
Start the game and open the console by pressing tab.
Type "open ip:port" and press enter. The IP address is the server's connection info IP and port1.
Alternatively, you can find the server IP on the main page of the server on the game panel3.
Another way to find the server IP is to go to shockbyte. com, click servers and then click Ark Test Server. Search through all the specifications and find the text “Server Address”. The long number next to this text is the IP4
wow it let me type the link on that. o-o my bad mods
added the space to be safe xD
im already distracted lol. this and work paperwork xD
okay so i basically open the game
and i will find the IP on the main page of the server on the gamepanel3
but which is that
lol i am annoying u so much

wait so i just open my game and write open ip:port on my console and it will give me my ip and port?
man u r a genius
no im just high and ur killing my buzz BAHAHA but its ok. i dont mind helping so long as its appreciated this time around..
and no im not actually smart. i just know how to use google...
oh no help me, i accidentally enabled all the addons and it is not letting me open the game anymore till i install them i dont have enough space how to disable them again
oh no it is not showing me the option to disable
bruh
bruh bruh bruh, how to disable what the hell
oh no do i have to reinstall the game what the hell
if its not giving you the option to stop the installation then idk
its not omg
"I would advise you to First of all Close the EpicGamesLauncher then move your whole game installation folder to a new location and then open the EpicGames Launcher. Now check if in your library it shows that you have not installed the game, if not then click install and wait for a few seconds of install then click on the cancel button."
if you dont know what it does, dont click it i guess xD
...
well maybe a reinstall will help who knows lol
question for any fellow paleo ark mod users, do evo giga saddles join the loot crate drop tables? or is there no way to get a higher quality version ( fjordur if it matters)
might ask in #unofficial-setup-help for that info. loads of paleo mod users roam that chat
im pretty sure they dont
thanks, was wondering where modded discussion happened at
let me make this sure
i just go to my single player and type open ip:port
and i get my ip
How do you get better rarity fishing rods?
Alpha tuso loot
Maybe alpha mosa as well
Hmm well they pretty rare on Val I don’t think iv seen a normal one yet
Is fishing worth it?
That’s debatable
Are you able to get good longnecks or armour?
You can get very good loot with a good fishing rod. The debate comes from what it takes to do so. By the time you’re capable of getting a good rod you’re already capable of farming this loot through other methods
Idk I don’t really know any good ways to get good loot on val I’ll take my meg for a trip see what I can find for a bit
Is an inythorganis dolphin thing faster then a meg
Alright thanks cause cave on val is massive and Meg seemed slow
Is there anything faster?
Eh im not sure. My knowledge of water tames is somewhat limited. I don’t think anything wild will outrun it
Alright it will do thanks
Yes
Dolphins are squishy though, 8f you want ocean speed, tusos are better
I just need a faster one I’m keeping a meg in a cryo the mega just slow
Dolphins are super fast lvled in speed but easy 2 die if not careful
Tusos with some speed can be good
I’ll try dolphins I’m going in a really big underwater cave so it should be good
Sarco
on beacon i search for Rock Drakes in the creature spawns (fjordur) and i get Rock Drake A and Radioactive Land, im guessing Rock Drake A is abb cave? Im trying to add reapers to ab cave
AB_DinoSpawnEntries_RockDrake_C
Is the spawn entry
guys will i be able to put 15 air conditioners onto 4x4 floor?
cuz i dont know how can i chatch a rockdrake egg
There's a cave on val near where the giga spawn close to the Snow (Not sure the exact coords) where loot crates spawn, as well as an artifact needed for the boss.
There's also so many metal runs worth of metal in said cave
Probably.
So me and my friends went to fight the manticore today and for some reason it would not land once?
and when it did it was suddenly in the air in a heartbeat.
I've done this fight many times and it's always given time to land so the ground army can hit it.
But for some reason this time it didn't land
Is this a bug or is this intentional design? considering this time we brought a single wyvern into the arena
my guy you gonna answer properly or nah
that happens just hit it
it usually doesn't thats the issue. It's usually got enough time on the ground to be hit, I've done this fight several times and this is the only time it's never been able to touch the ground
yes its a glitch that happens
keep shooting it with ur rifle it will land eventually
I mean we did that and it would land and then immediately be back into the air.
but thanks for confirming my suspsicions
hmm, did u try a rock golem?
im tryna find a sarcastic way to say no but i cant
we wanted to but double checked and we were sad
what now
Were you standing in the weird glitch spot that you're not actually in the map or whatever
well we gonna rebuild the army and
For the velo strat
whats the glitch spot? we pretty much sat at the spawn the entire time or just beneath it
then it was the normal glitch
No we used like only rexes
bring a rock golem next time just incase, and if it happens again just slam it with a rock when it lands it will stun for atleast a while
Ah ye probably not then. It does "bug" out - har har get it? - i think one dude brought fliers in once and that caused it, theres a place if your there too soon it will cause it... then just.. ark. You cooould use command to summon it then spam it with kill command/admin rifle
@raven flower, i suggest getting rock golem, atleast one
I'll try and squeeze it through the door next time
not like I tried
cryopods are a thing
like I said earlier we did bring one wyvern and after losing we assumed it was because it saw we had a flier and wanted that dead more than anything
WAIT WHAT, R U OUT OF UR MIND, DONT U KNOW MANTICORE GLITCHES WHEN U GET WYVERB?
if u get wyvern, get a whole army of wyvern
if not then dont bother, cuz one flyer makes manticore stay in air forever
I DONT i never had thus issue
Ah yeah. I think fliers mess it up. Sry i only read bits and pieces above
yeah no worries
im lucky i uploaded some before i went to fight so we didn't lose all of them but man it was a bummer because we use a random colours mod abd she turned out with super nice deep purple and whitish colours
Awe
Hello everyone ! I have a big problem, I'm on steam, I'm trying to host a non dedicated server and every time it's loading the game closes without a fatal error or anything, it just closes
Without an error it would be hard to say. Does ot close and open steam to download a map?
they can be placed inside of each other slightly, place them in a circle and that should be enough
question, is it a good idea to set Empty Cryopods to stack to like 5, or does that just mess them up because of the timer, or does the timer work like raw meat
okey
can someone tell me whats wrong with my ark.
all dinos are attacking trilobites even when they are setted on neutral
its like my ark is haunted lol
and my spinos are not making eggies even with mating on
any clues of whats going on?
Set ur dinos to passive then
u think i didnt tried it? still the same
Only trilobites?
my friend has the FIBERCRAFT unofficial server when he searches it but i do not, no matter how long i wait for it to search for sessions
i matched all the search features like maps and modes but still nothing
Join via IP. The server browser has issues.
k
Hi can anyone help me

I want do boss fight fjodur allpha
mhm?
mmmm idk i never play fjodur it should say are you on official
Ok thanks
1x servers shutting down today?
can someone help me figure what i’m supposed to do to keep my character? do i just go to one of the certain server or what?
You'll be able to download the map file your survivor is on to play on SP or unofficial.
How can I make a ramp in a house so it’s not sticking out or getting obstructed I’m confused
ok im setting up a sever for the first time and im completely lost anyone got like a perfect vid i can follow
i used the wiki and didnt come out correctly either way
SteamSocketsOpenSource: gethostname failed ()
gethostbyname failed ()
thats what i assume the problem is
ok nvm got it to work
A big bob with probs here. i stopped playing ark about 3 months ago I'm tried booting the game up the other day and saw i had way to many mods so i cleaned the table and deleted them all. Now its making me "update" 19gbs for no reason but when it finishes it says "disk Write Error" can someone help me? ( i verifyed it 3 times already)
go to here -\steam\steamapps\downloading
delete it all, it will trigger a redownload
of any mods or game updates

but also i have multible games on multible drivers do i do it on the one with ark
to start the server with the modded map olympus is the name just olympus in the run.bat file
just join an official server, oh wait rip....
i want to start an unofficial server
pay 15 doll hairs a month
where?
once your done deleting those files, restart steam
just jump on any already active unofficial servers
that are hard
Can you fight bosses in unofficial?
yes, still exactly the same game
Oh sweet
yes
ok
ok should i be worried if my unofficial server that im hosting says 1300ping for me on home page lol
Is a meg with 15k health 1000% melee gonna be able to kill alphas like mosasaurs and tuso?
So I got ark off the Xbox games in pc am I able to download mods?
No, only steam has mods for ASE.
Mods are steam only
guys if my character is in upload and they shut down the servers is my character deleted?
how often do servers auto tame if they do?
I am unable to get the save file to work. I've tried both copying the file and unzipping it, and moving the file and unzipping it, into Steamapps/common/ARK/shooter game/saved. Opened the game, went to host/local. Every time. It takes me to the character creation stage and not opening the saved game. Why does this not work?
I just ventured into the ocean for the first time to tame a Dunkleosteus but couldn't because of like 5 or so electrophorus, 2 plesiosaurs and a level 18 alpha megalodon. I have no experience with the ocean but I have a sort of decent Sarco that was able to outrun pretty much all these creatures. I tried to agro the Dunkleosteus but it didn't pursue me too far. I hit it with my sarco and then it just ran off deeper towards the 2 plesiosaurs. Got any tips for dealing with this problem? Particularly the electrophorus. I have no idea how I'm supposed to deal with them.
I tried that too but the chat is flooded with cryopod talk.
It's a message link to a guide.
That's the guide I was using.
@slate minnow tag ur it
is there a way to make the server autosave every few min or a set interval or is that automatic
and i do change server settings in gameusersettings.ini right?
cos i changed a few and seems like it did nothing
Why do my dinosaurs always die a few days after i log back on bruh
They are in my base and just despawn or something?
starving?lmao
Are u feeding em haha
You should jump off your Sarco and shoot it with your tranq, I believe when you jump back on it will still be aggro on you and you can lead it like that. My normal progress route for ocean is Baryonyx to Basilo and then everything else. Jellies and eels cant mess with a Basilo and Baryonyx has its alt attack tail swipe that can stun most things but you still need to watch out for jellies and eels until you have the Basilo. Baryonyx also doesnt float to top of ocean when you dismount so that might be an issue with Sarco too, dont know much about Sarcos
check tribe log
im so confused on why my server multipliers dont work lmao
got them in the ini and it just doesnt work
I tamed a brontosaurus and essentially it took 5 hours to tame, is there a better way to tame it in a more reasonable amount of time that doesn't require me to have to constantly be on my computer?
if its ur server better food or u have to increase taming multiplier
theres also a taming brew but it help 30% i believe
It is indeed not my server, its a public one i believe
yeah then gl bro
I used the mejoberries since I heard they were the best berries for the job
yeah
nothing else u can really do
nah cos how tf do i get there multipliers to work
I haven't tried dismounting my sarco in deeper waters because its scary but in shallower waters it stays exactly where I left it. I can't get my hands on a basilo yet because I haven't tamed any dinos for exceptional kibble. I think I'm gonna try taming a baryonyx to clear the area of any megs and then tame one of the plesiosaurs as well and kill the other one with it. I just read the wiki page for electrophorus and it seems they just need to be shot with ranged weapons to get rid of them. I'll just do that, unless you have any other tips specifically for the eels?
Dolphins to swim fast and avoid danger
Or tuso
Bruh I'm just starting out in the ocean. Ain't no way I'm going anywhere near a Tuso anytime soon 😆
Ppl use speed dolphins to move fast underwater then, just don't get caught or u die
You can tame it with prime, lamb or there cooked variants too. Takes a bit longer but worth it. You also dont need a super high level one to start. If you are on Fjordur there are a lot of Dunkees and other creatures that get stuck around the shallows of the swamp area, easy tames from the beach. Just watch out for literally everything else in the swamp
Yeah but I heard they're only good for movement and my sarco is fast enough to outrun everything I've encountered so far and its got good health and melee so I'm good in that department
I'm on The Island but thanks for the help. I'll go see about getting a baryonyx and then one of the plesiosaurs then.
Plesi are basically useless
No worries but just so you know a troop of tamed sharks is pretty op. The bleed is insane. Plesis also suffer from jellies and eels. Only Basilo is immune
If you have a harpoon and net projectiles you can net the sharks
The wiki said they have big health stats. I l plan on using it to kill the other plesi and just clear the area of any other threats before I get started on the Dunky.
A group of megs does sound like a good idea. I think I might do that.
In my thousands of hrs
Plesi are mostly a useless dino man
Well I need to get rid of it somehow. The wiki said they have a large attack radius and I don't wanna take chances with my sarco, especially knowing there are eels around. Might as well tame one of them and use it to kill the other. There are 2 in the area.
any mods that reduce beer brewing time i aint waiting no 6 hrs for some beer
I was playing a non-dedicated server with a couple friends with the tether distance to max, but they keep teleporting to me. Anyone know how to fix it?
bIncreasePvPRespawnInterval=False
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalCheckPeriod=30
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalMultiplier=1
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalBaseAmount=0
i got this writen in my ini but still have respawn timer
did i do smt wrong
Yo what happened my man?
try Better Beer Barrel, recent comments in the workshop say it works
ight thx bru
I've been trying this, step by step, but no success. When I open a host/local game and select the same map from the download it takes me to the character creation screen rather than opening up the saved game with the character I had on the official server. I was playing on NA PVE Lost Island 1040. I downloaded the save for this server, copied it into the correct folder, unzipped it, had the correct launch options script in on steam. But it will not open the save. Just a new game for lost island. Kind of defeats the purpose of downloading a save.
Ah it will make you make a new character, because the character file isn’t saved with the map. You will need to use cheats to reclaim your dinos/structures, and destroy other structures
is it possible to get higher quality tek gear?
(if so what maps or methods
)
Extinction OSD, Genesis missions
roger that, with extinction does it go up to ascendant?
There is no tier for them as such, they just go up xD
Purple OSDs give the best ones obviously, red ones are pretty good too
If you can’t crafting skill BPs you can premade ones from Genesis
is there a limit to the %s they go up to? if you know anyway
On singleplayer, no. On official, idk.
There is a cap on offi tho
Oh also durability caps at 1500
appreciate the information!
It says battleye kicked u?
Reinstall battleye
If that doesn’t work, the unofficial banned u
Not right now, just uninstall and reinstall battleye
Finding the guide
Theres a bat file you can run to uninstall. Dun need all that
<steam path>\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\BattlEye
Run the uninstall batch file
Then the installer
Is it all unofficial or just one of them
Disable battle eye as a launch option through steam. Dont need it anymore.
If servers are hosted through Nitrado you will still need battle eye, as those still run the protection, it's up to the owner or coder to dis engage anti cheat software, well at least on Xbox servers
Mmm i guess i cant speak specifically to xbox but as far as steam no. The whole reason steam servers dont show on the list is because it only pulls those with battle eye.
Iv breed up some 0/0 0/0 females for mutations but some reason different colours I think there the wild colours so there fine right?
can someone help me how to open the world so i can run it in singleplay
i downloaded my server and put the file in the savedarklocals but it dont work and i did the launch property
Can I play ark eternal on singleplayer or is only possible in server?
how do i upload the server to my local files i put it in the savedarklocals but nothing
How to do i fix latency issue when joining na servers from aus?
You can do it in single player, but you need to enable so the Dino’s can spawn
Maby a dinowipe is enough
I believe this folder will have additional folders with map name saves yes
it's stuck at hlna equip cue
i cant load in
So you migrated the files and it "freezes" upon load in ?
i only put the gen2 file nothing else
it gets stuck
at the point called hlna_equip_cue
As long as you did everything correctly the first load in can take some time. The official save files have data from all players. It can take quite a bit of time for the initial load. Id just let it go for a while
Without a error or crash of some sort all you can do is assume its loading
i dont know the steps at all i just put the gen2 save in the gen2 thingy and its stuck again
I would open your savedarks folder and move the existing folder your replacing to your desktop if you want to save your original progress, or delete it if you dont. Then place the new official save folder in its place. Should be simple as that
stuck again at the equip cue thingy
can u get in dms so i can ask u how to do it properly?
I would honestly just let it load It might even take around 30 minutes to an hour as that is what the expected time for a fresh install of a nitrado server is
Really without a crash or error of sorts i wouldnt have anything to go off of. So id wait for a crash, or a load.
check dms
does anyone know when the next creature vote will be? or what ark it will be for?
How do I do all that? With the files and cheats I mean.
I tried loading in the game, created a new character and it is a completely fresh game. It's not the 1040 saved server. I don't get it.
Also, for the launch options, I put in "-newsaveformat -usestore" but it doesn't actually give me that as an option when I'm opening it. I would think if I added that it should be in the dropdown menu with all the other options....

How do I tame a bloodstalker on genesis part 2 is it the same????
It should be the same, just made sure you have a lot of blood packs and parachutes, maybe some grapple hooks too
is there a way to make my dino levels in singleplayer world not in a multiple of 4s? i want the max to be 150 :[
Exactly same
Parachutes are unnecessary since they’re on the ground anyway
It uses them automatically
I forgor the exact cheats, @plain stag pls assist
1 sec
TakeAllStructure
TakeAllDino
MakeTribeFounder
Thnx, I’ll put it in the pinned msg?
i cant download the game
More details pls
it keeps saying error code 0x8024001e
If you wanna make a fancier one you can, it'll be fine since these are probably gonna be needed for at least a few weeks or so
??
Where are you downloading from? What are you downloading onto? Do you own the game on this account?
the xbox ap[
wdym what are you downloading onto
External SSD? Internal? A hard drive?
idk
Anyway that error code happens if your internet connection is unstable, windows updater is stuck, or your SSD is loosely connected.
You can access other things on this drive?
yes
Aight fully restart your system
If its the s/x edition i dont think itll work on external
If thats the case anyways
whats the ini exactly for stat multipliers
i copied it from the wiki but i think i did it wrong and not sure how
im on computer
^
i did
no
^
i use my phone for internet
Forget your hotspot then, then reconnect it
if theres one thing wrong on my settings ini does everything past it just die?
like i had harvest multiplier on it was working
i added something and the multiplier is gone
can someone just send me their server settings part for the ini and i can edit the values pls?
There are already settings there you can edit. If your ini is missing, you need to do something different.
just copied the ones from nitrado rn hope they work
yeah ik that i think i just messed up somewhere and it stopped everything past a point from working
it didnt work
Why is one game gotta have so many problems downloading for me
One sec. I'll tell you how to fix it.
any chance u can hop in a call if that would be easier?
I assume you are using expert mode. If there are no ini files, go back to your general settings, disable expert mode, save, start the server and let it run at least 5 minutes. Then you can stop the server, enable expert mode, then check to make sure you have ini's.
uh im running it from my pc with server files on my pc
Ok. What are you missing and did you get the files you copied from someone running theirs the same way as yours?
im using the default inis that u get after starting server and i added some from the wiki
nah i dont get it
on my admin manager it has the multiplier but its not applying
Ok so there are different settings for different files. Make sure you are putting them where they belong.
If something isn't working, then either the code you entered is incorrect or it's in the wrong file.
Check for duplicates.
This is probably the wrong channel. It would be more appropriate in #unofficial-setup-help
im just gonna do the whole file i stg
Why would you do that?
i mean idk where the problem is im just gonna copy and paste a fresh one and edit the values
I think that's what caused your issue in the first place.
nah i was altering the ones that came by adding lines of the wiki now im just coppying all of it from a site and changing the values thats it
its also worked
Good.
It's hard to find the right code online. Especially if you are doing a full copy/paste.
It doesn't normally turn out well.
i mean i read exactly what it said to do on the official wiki and followed it
So I do that on a blank map?
why does my game.ini delete itself????
Are you trying to do it while the server is stopped?
No. Must be stopped. And after you stop it, wait 5 minutes before you change anything.
Again, I don't think doing a blind copy/paste will do you any favors.
i mean its not blind
i have it all written out on a notepad
like i did everything already
its worked for the gameserversettings.ini why wouldnt it for this
Sorry iv come in to this mid way is it the actual harvesting rates compared to what you have in the settings that your struggling with?
Side note, anyone had the issue of alternate engrams being unlocked and locked again on a different boss fight?
A friend has unlocked certain engrams from boss fights but then on another map unlocked other engrams and it’s locked some of the previously unlocked ones 🤷🏻♂️
So everything in your game.ini is just blank? Nothing at all in there?
does anyone know why i only get 1 or 2 organic polymer per baby penguin when i use my moschop? (i use singleplayer settings)
yeah all blank
i mean there was nothing in there before i closed the server added the lines started it and it all disapeared
That file should not be blank.
doing it now after waiting a bit
So that's the problem. You need to start your server and let it run for a bit so it will generate the code in that file.
That's why pasting the entire file is not working.
ngl the server has been on for over 30min
You shouldn't be tinkering with any of the files while it's running.
i mean it was on for 30min before
probably longer then i turned it of
and if i add anything into the ini it'll save and get deleted as soon as i run the server
fixed it myself just made the file read only so nothing would get deleted
since the update my game keeps crashing, giving the ue4 shootergame crash screen. happening to anyone else? ive tried verifying files, reinstalling, etc. not sure what to do or what the prob is.
Every time I connect to a server from the "unofficial PC" list I am logged out after a few minutes (usually -5) with message " The connection was lost with the server".
This has been happening to me on all private servers for a few weeks and I didn't have this problem on official. Unfortunately they are gone and now I can't play at all. I tried: Reinstall the game / Restore the PS5 / Another PSN which has the game and can play without problem / Ethernet / wifi. I'm out of ideas please help
what is it bro
my ark wont produce any sound idk why
why tf cant i place triangle foundations
what does it mean when magmasauruses release like purple/pink gas ?
In order to make upload work on a rented unofficial server do you need another map???
i want to kill myself over this stupid "DiSk WrItE ErOrR"
I've asked for help multiple times because of this one issue but I need help again:
So if I try to join crystal Isle or Fjordur, both maps are just water, the whole map is basically gone. I'm not really sure how to fix this issue and would really love some help
which tool is the most efficient for getting cacti on fjordur?
yo i hosted an unnoficial server, how do i whitelist my friend?
cause i put his steam/epic id in and he still cant join
can i join non dedicated session if i am on a epic acc
Let him join using ip:Port command in console maybe
what?
how do i do that
OK lemme ask
Are u both on steam?
Are u playing with any mods?
we both on epic
we both on epic
O, best of luck 2 u then
Can't help yh
Epic plays non dedicated have issues joining
bruh
@brazen robin any advice?
thx for the help
do this. there is a guide in #unofficial-setup-help pins for what this means.
do some maps lock max level of dinos im playing on a modded mao and difficulty 5 with offset 2 and max level is 150 shouldnt it be higher?
Do you use cheats to get the server to upload? Or are you supposed to be on the downloaded server and then use the cheats to claim what you need to? When I open Lost Island, it is not the downloaded server, it's just the map itself, fresh and new, there is nothing to claim.
Dino level is difficulty x 30
does offset not affect it?
It dosent.
Sounds like you nay of grabbed the wrong set of files for what your trying to do. Or placed the folder in the wrong location
I downloaded the server I was on and put it in the folder it was mentioned to go in according to the pin on here
What location
Steam apps common shooter game, etc. I wrote in an earlier comment. On my phone right now so limited discord functions
Anybody know if the bears in bear cave on fjordur are tameable ? that would be kinda op since i just found a level 240 one
Yeah it should just go in your savedarks folder. If there was already a file there and you overwrote it may of had errors depending. I would remove the file fully then add the one your trying to use
If they are a lot higher than your normal level finos possibly not. Generally those cant be tamed except for rare instances
So that's the weird part. I've played an offline game in lost island before. I never changed the file location or anything but I didn't have a lost island save in any folder anywhere. The server file I downloaded didn't overwrite anything because there was noting there. I couldn't even access my offline game anymore. So no offline game save and the new save doesn't work
Eh. In that case it sounds like your ark save filepath isnt ... there. As in it is saving your files in a different location
If you can basically do anything on that directory with no change. One would assume thats not where the saves are located
Hmm... I'll have to go hunting for them at some point. Thanks for the help!
Ive worked with a few instances where people used cloudplay and it changed their location but i cant remember ...where offhand
dinosaurs
hey. i have an unofficial server that i think is pvp technically. what setting do i need to change to enable meat harvesting from plant species r
@true heron @chilly solstice @crimson fulcrum not sure where to ask this but I was wondering if we would get some insight on whether or not we would get small tribes server at launch or at any point for ASA?
i have no idea, sorry
Thanks still I hope someone else could get us an answer at some point before launch.
😦
@true heron @naive grail would really like to know as well regarding small tribes
I heard there will be small tribes @snow vale
Hey great thanks for letting me know, I have been keeping up with it and have not seen any news could you let me know where you saw that it would be a big help! 😀
Take what I said with a grain of salt
Not official post about it
hmm ok, I will do keep it in mind, thanks for your responses! apreciate your help!
an official post did say it
Its in one of the community crunches, I remember seeing it as well
Said something along the lines of "small tribes will be available at launch"
Shouldn't be possible. I play on Difficulty x10 with lvl 900+ dinosaurs
difficulty 10 should be level 300 
Ah, my host's server been like that for the last 6 years lol
Can someone help me my server isnt showing up when I go to transfer
have you set up port forwarding?
no
there is your issue
Idk how
google is your friend
A big bob with probs here. i stopped playing ark about 3 months ago I'm tried booting the game up the other day and saw i had way to many mods so i cleaned the table and deleted them all. Now its making me "update" 19gbs for no reason but when it finishes it says "disk Write Error" can someone help me? ( i verifyed it 3 times already and deleated the download and tried again)
Thank you very much I will then investigate it further!
can i be helped please i beg
unsub to any mods you are currently subbed to. thats probably part of it.
i did that to all of them
and it made it worse
did you delete the mod files (there is a pin here for that)
No, and i cant see them
the pin
you can't see the pins?
well i see them just not that one
my brain hurts trying to read that
I'm having trouble understanding the wiki.
where can I find sulfur?
on scorched earth
what map
yellow looking rocks in the volcano biome
kill wyverns 
😨
i di something wrong
I'm taming the rock elemental with rocks then
i started deleating over 90gb of storage from dlcs and all mods
and i think im doing something wrong
you probably deleted the free maps
they are in the mods folder
i stopped
this are the sulfur node locations
but idk what im suppost to do im so confused
will just need to verify.
ive done that 3 timesd
are the DLC not working? might need to redownload them then.
ah thank you very much
Dlc? i cant load into the game and it says disc writ error
the entire game won't load? then you need to verify and if that doesn't work reinstall completely.
if steam is still trying to update/download something restart steam.
could some here help me with a issue im having stopping me from playing ark though pc
gonna need more info on what the error is.
i cant upload imagies here or i would show you
what does it say?
describe it.
servers wont show up in list what do i do i do
only a few random ones show up
like 7
@scarlet silo sign out of the xbox app (sign into another one if you have one) and then launch ark. chances are its a cloud sync issue
@brazen robin okie dokie
help
the ingame server browser is bad, use battlemetrics to get the IP and join via that.
I cant even keep up at nitrado today. Sheesh.
yeah but like how do i fix man
i have been using it but still fun
fix what? the server browser?
ye
Officials go down
Privates come up
Nobody frickin knows how to set em up!
/Rant
are you talking about your own server hosting issues?
nah just barely any servers showing up in list
yeah, thats normal. its not on your side. you need to join via IP.
@brazen robin you was right it worked how can i fix this on my main account?
should just be able to switch back
at least thats always how I fixed it.
ty fr help
@brazen robin nope its froze again on my main
try signing out and sign in when it asks when ark is loading?
@brazen robin nope still stuck
Pc freeze? Or xbox freeze?
I should probably just stay out
can you try loading another game that uses xcloud 
yeah works fine was playing payday 3 like 1 hour ago
do you have gamepass and a controller?
wondering if forcing a cloud update will fix it 
try launching ark on xcloud and playing SP then switching back.
how do you launch a game from xcloud
you need to make sure you are signed in
if you aren't the one that owns gamepass dont think you can use it tho.
im signed in though the xbox app as my account but when i click on that link i cant log into my account thought the app it wont let me change the email
should be signed into whatever account you are signed in for the microsoft/xbox website
um could we call on discord so it would be easyier to explain it
can't. which part are you confused about?
i legit dont get the option to sign in to my email though the xcloud website
try going to the xbox website and trying there. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/
nope same error
no idea what that issue is.
try just playing singleplayer on the second account then switching back 🤷 maybe that'll force a cloud check.
i managed to sign in to my account now thought the website how do i go about the cloud stuff
should just be able to search for ark and click play.
it says i cant even tho i have the game pass
is it gamepass ultimate or PC gamepass?
says gamepass ultimate
that is very strange. xcloud might be having some issues.
try doing something on singleplayer from your second account.
Yes. In case nobody said, yet.
thanks
Is it possible to get mods on playstation
There are no mods on any game on consoles Edit: I'm a liar
not until ASA
that is not true at all
Ahh alright
Snow runner
i shall take that back 🎩
Lol

my yuty is on 2k hp and im lost
@everyone My ark mobile keeps going out for no reason, I've tried uninstalling and installing again and it doesn't work, it keeps going out, can anyone help me?
@wild flume
Yo does anyone know why fjordur isn’t letting my fly in caves even tho I have force enable cave flyers on? (I’m in single player idk if that’s the problem)
The realms? Those are bugged on SP as far as I know.
Just like normal caves on main land
Weird, is the setting enabled in your ini files or the main menu?
Main menu
Maybe try ini files? I'm not sure what would stop you from flying in the caves themselves.
Not sure, I’m just gonna set a server up and transfer stuff to there since some of my friends wanna play
Thanks for the help tho
you need to be on a server, cave flying is broken on PC singleplayer 
Dang, I seriously have a dilemma about buying ASA
Like from one side it would be cool to have it and everything, but from other side it's like I mostly play single player anyway
all current ASE DLCs come with ASA as they are released 
yo can anyone help me out i play on GFN and it has been patching for over 24 hrs
If I'm trying to attack a target on my mount while being accompanied by other tames to assist me, do my tames take damage from my mount's attack? Basically is there such a thing as friendly fire against my tames when I'm using one of them as a mount?
Yes it’s a server setting
tamed dinos won't damage other tamed dinos unless its very specific attacks like fire.
I'm playing offline on single player settings enabled. Planning on using a sarco to ambush an alpha meg while being accompanied by my tamed megs. So there's no friendly fire in this instance?
yo can anyone help me out i play on GFN and it has been patching for over 24 hrs
there isn't. afaik nothing on the island can do friendly fire at all 
what is GFN is that a server?
geforce now
oh, hmm 
seems its a common-ish issue, happened before as well. I think you just need to wait for it.
ok
But how much longer would I have to wait? 😦
no idea, cloud streaming stuff has that happen sometimes.
expecially for a game as big as ark
So if you have the dlc for ASE you will have it for ASA? Like the Genesis 1 & 2, if you don't have it you are not gonna have it for ASA right? (Just want to make it clear for myself)
No, ASA will come with the DLC regardless of if you own them or not.
essentially all current ASE DLCs will be free for ASA 
So it's like free dlc?
Hmm
When maybe it's not such a bad to buy ASA hmmm
they did confirm a paid DLC for ASA in the future.
so more content later as well
not just the 1 new dino per map and QOL stuff
Like new maps or just after launch they gonna change it
From free to paid
hmm? new maps. ASE DLC are free for ASA.
Like you said that they confirm paid dlc for ASA, like they gonna make maps like Genesis pay to play but at launch it's gonna be free or what do you mean
No, a new DLC.
What exactly do you mean by new dlc?
ASA, for $40:
- Island
- Scorched Earth
- Aberration
- Extinction
- Genesis 1
- Genesis 2
- The Center
- Ragnarok
- Valguero
- Crystal Isles
- Lost Islands
- Fjordur
2024 - Post Genesis 2 DLC < $20+ probably
its new. like doesn't exist for ASE 😂
Ok lol, I understand now
lots of people have been guessing its not after gen2 as thats ark 2
which makes sense.
I been hearing its 2 more story DLCs for ASA
Dang, that's actually cool
and as another point. its planned release date was around december on the other timeframe which puts it around ab. we don't know if it was delayed alongside the other DLC tho 
I'm fairly sure only 1 has been confirmed.
Yeah. People don't realize it, they think they have to buy the DLCs all over again, but its narrowed down to $40, from a $120+ original pricing
Hmmm ark ascended with all dlc for 40$, is it a good idea to buy or should I get a life hmmmm
That's a tough question
Here's the problem:
- Island will be the only map at launch
just play on unofficial then you can have both
Aren't there supposed to be like a few more maps?
the other maps will come later with scorched in december, and ab/rag in Q1
Scorched Earth will release December 2023
Oh yeah yeah, my bad
they have to re-release all the maps but they have to remaster ALL of them in UE5
so its gonna take 3-4 months for each map
I mean for past 200 hours I was focused only on single player tho
Why Wildcard just didn't focus on Ark 2
ran out of budget apparently
But will ark ascended actually help with budget, like that's a lot of work to do
With remaking the whole game
That weight like ≈300gb
Thats why they're re-releasing a game in remastered graphics. Its the equivalent of BioWare remastering Mass Effect Legendary Edition and 343 remastering Halo The Master Chief Collection, same with Infinity Ward remastering Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2
it does make more money this way
"There are various reasons we’ve decided to take this approach. One is to refine the development team’s skills on UE5 and how far it can be pushed for next-generation titles (ARK 2).. Another factor is for business reasons. Developing a next-generation sequel while no longer releasing paid expansion packs has proven difficult for our Studio’s long-term survival, so we need to continue generating revenue while we develop ARK 2. And finally, the ultimate reason: whereas ARK2 is being designed as a Souls-like adventure, we want to provide the community with an evergreen classic-ARK experience, one that can continue to grow over time on a cleaned-up code base, leveraging new technological advancements not only in the industry but also what we’ve been working on with the ARK Franchise as a creative whole."
Interesting point my friend
Yeah probably you are right
that is a quote from the devs
I get it because of ""
in the same way as 343 remastering my favorite scifi shooter like Halo, I'm sure WC will do ARK justice...hoping at least
you know, despite halo being a sci-fi shooter
I've never heard it called that...
To be honest I think that for the content Wildcard provides they don't charge like a lot of money
40$ for everything and more that ASE was is well worth it imo
Yeah, anyway thanks guys, have to go so have a good day/night
i need help i have the save of a file i want to play i got it because it had corrupted and i can't find a way to fix it!DX
Especially imagine you’re a new entry to the franchise
It’s a steal for that price
1st few lines of the fatal error
LoadFromFile
Aight that’s enough, any mods?
Reinstall the mods, instructions are pinned here
are deinonychus effective against abb rockwell? 
Kinda, not as much as other bosses
Better to use Meglo/Reaper
roger that 👍
I got banned can I maybe me un banned the name was Jerry on the server
what are good stats for rexes against island bosses
30-40k HP, 1k% melee
30-40k? are you sure?
It’s overkill ik
isn't the dragon meant to be like.. super difficult
Oh for dragon dont use rex, use theris
Or have a separate set of rexes, with 21k HP and rest into melee
and what about the overseer would 40k health really be enough to beatit?
Yeah 1k% melee means you deal a lot of dmg
wait what difficulty are you saying this would be for?
Alpha
really!?
you can use theris for every island boss as well. so you only need to breed up 1 army
Yeah you can bring 19 of them, + 1 yuty to boost them
ok! thank you!
oh yeah what would be good theri stats?
dont forget your veggie cakes if you use theris, they heal up 10% of their hp up to 2.1k hp
what type of saddle? for both rex and theriz
Best u can afford
ok!
ok thanks
ok
you will need a lot of veggie cakes though, minimum would be 10 per theri for a total of 190 cakes over all 4 bosses
ok
is it better to get a wyvern egg with a ptrenadon or to make a turrets on the side of the trench to kill them and then take the eggs?
I mean it’s cheaper to use a PT turrets are safer though
why are we getting kicked from my friends non dedicated server?
I need some help i have timeout delay issue after 5min on all PC unnofficial servs. I troubleshooted the issue and it's my internet box. Playing on 5G with my phone went smooth for an hour. I need help to fix now because i have no idea what to do
small question, probably obv. answer but still ; if i have mods like "lost island creatures everywhere" or "cross extinction", and i tamed some of the "crossover" creatures, will removing the mod remove those tamed creatures too or does it just remove ther spans on the map?
they wont remove the creatures
need more info. error codes? what system yall use? ect... cant just answer without info
if the mod that has the creature code is removed, then yes. the code for the creature is no longer in game. unless you keep the back coding for it i believe
spawn on single player, run around there for 10 minutes, log back off, then log into your unofficial server
we think the issue mightve been the map, it was one from a work shop. It worked at the start but switching maps seems to of fixed it
@hybrid hound okay, so if i add extinction dinos to the center and the remove the extinction mod, my tamed extinction creatures will most likely be gone right?
Will try this evening after work
yes. well maybe. depends on the creature i think you should be good tho.
i recommend testing it first with a managarmr
i think they should be ok. i thought you meant an ACTUAL mod not a map lol
if its a normal base dino, you are fine and it wont delete
what is the best creature+stats are best for the artifact caves
Use commands to clean it
What dinos do u reccomend i use to tame a yuty? I have resources to make a trap but idk what dino to use on the island becuz of its fear roar, btw my best fastest strongest dinos with most health are my theris, megatheriums, thylas and barys
Eh no dino. Just yourself. Run fast!
to lure it into the trap, use a thyla
from there you can just knock it out
to kill its companions you can use the thyla as well
thylas on the island
just go for high health and melee on your thyla, bring good armor, good amount of med brews, and supplies and you should be totally fine
ok but epic players can play but steams players can't
been over 30 hours this time for GeForce NOW to finish "patching". I've seen this happen over super tiny updates while big updates only take a few hours.
that's true
once it took 3 hours took a heavy update
Would the fear roar not make the thyla uncontrollable though?
does anyone know how to put down the wood fences properly? i cant put them next to each other, and when i do hit the angle i can't build it
does your phone have a max hotspot useage and then slows down afterwards. Or does your phone allow for hotspot? Because mine lets you do it for like an hour before it says hey you not allowed to do that.
15 pro max 5G not sure about hotspot specs but yeah I played around like an hour with my friend when it started to fuxk up a little but been able to reconnect directly. I know some carrier block this kind of usage but you can easily bypass it changing network settings
How do you teleport to Asgard on a ps4
Hold "R"
still no clue for the patch event on GeForce Now? Their support said it was an issue from the editor of the game
been on "patch" since 3 days :/
dont know about that
still try to find were i'm locked, i still can't access the game, using GeForce Now :/
So when I am creating a world I add mods to it and tweak the settings for that world.
But when I leave the world and try to join it later all the mods get disabeld and all the settings go back to default...
Same goes for my in game settings
Everything resets whenever I leave the game
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Because it is really annoying to fix everything every time I rejoin the game
ok if i made a server and portfowarded what do i have to give to my friend so they can join is it just the server name?
its a modded server and if he types the name into unofficial servers
it just indefinnetaly searchs
Is there a way to track a tamed animal if it is already completly tames and complete? Ive lost a lvl 50 tek parasaur
Not without mods
Damn. That sucks
Usually lost tames can be found at 50 lat, 50 long. I don’t know why, that’s just where they go.
If it glitched away from you that is.
Didn't changed. Spawned on a center local played for like an hour then went to center pc un official and 5min later logout
I'm about to change my internet provider at this point
Only with mods or asa 😢 (unless you put a transponder on it)
Lost island keeps crashing my game even though im not playing on it, how do I make it stop crashing my game?
Is there a way to uninstall it?
yes in steam
You should try that then
