[simple linden]

litterally just ran into one as i sent that

[rustic nacelle]

like i said, ill tag you if i ever play again and crash

[barren harness]

cool, or if the ambassador people who usually are helping are on then ask them. im not gonna be playing help desk 24/7

[fierce cave]

joe whenever u can i sent you a dm of my settings and the image (sry about this )

[outer warren]

creature good for getting flint?

[sonic drift]

how can i make a good thumbnail for a ark vid

[sleek storm]

I’ll get it to you asap

[abstract raven]

I also run a 4090 and was crashing a lot, turning frame gen and reflex off seems to have fixed it, now the main problem for me is server stability...

[past wolf]

aight we back from breakfast

[rustic nacelle]

Interesting will try

[barren harness]

anklyos work well i believe

[past wolf]

Frame gen and DLSS off, NVDIA Reflex is a killer, if its still crashing you , adjust your clock settings

[grand comet]

i tried the same thing and it worked for like 5 mins until it crashed again lmao but that was yesterday I tried it

[abstract raven]

I run DLSS quality still, without crashing

[jagged parcel]

Do you know if those settings can be added to the .ini to be persistent? I haven't gotten to test yet

[pulsar trout]

Anything for tether distance being stuck at 180?(setting slider doesn’t do anything) I can’t play properly until the bug is fixed.

[barren harness]

@past wolf thank god, me and @jagged parcel been fighing for our lives

[past wolf]

@barren harness im here for yall and are you talking about the console settings?

[arctic sedge]

How do I report a bug?

[past wolf]

welcome to arks unofficial helpdesk how may we help you

[arctic sedge]

Anyone else notice how bad the servers are? Haven't see any redundant posts about it.

[abstract raven]

fire up another 1k servers should do it, 85k people trying to play...

[lean crystal]

I just refunded the game after not being able to join any official servers. I don't have a point to play if I can't play with other people.

[sleek storm]

What’s the full path sorry I’m a noob

[jade scaffold]

Do someone know how to fix lag

[arctic sedge]

You refunded an Early Access game? 😂

[barren harness]

no we were trying to figure out a way to put commands into the ini to have certian stuff already disabled without having to put commands in repeatedly, like clouds

Hacci ill dm you the string

[jagged parcel]

yes. They seem similar in structure to the settings in the GameUserSettings.ini just wondered if you had tried to get them to persist there.

[lean crystal]

Yes? I understand the normal bugs but if I can't join a server to play the game why would I keep it?

[past wolf]

Ahhh. I havent figured out a way to do that yet tbh, I can dig into it though

[wise smelt]

Dont forget to vocalize your dissatisfaction to steam

[arctic sedge]

Lol

[jagged parcel]

My guess is they would be part of the section titled [ScalabilityGroups] at least for the "sg." ones. I can't find a place for the r. ones. I am guessing that is renderer settings

[past wolf]

Do either of yall have the path for the ini files

[barren harness]

not the place man, take that shit to a different chat

[jagged parcel]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows\GameUserSettings.ini"

[past wolf]

r. are render settings yup they SHOULD be generated already and all that we need to do is locate and change the values on them

[fierce cave]

does anyone know how to fix the pixelation of the clouds and water?

[arctic sedge]

It's been 3 days. Lmao

[vocal yoke]

whys 2139 down?

[sleek storm]

@barren harness I can’t find that path for the crash log

[limber bolt]

compost bin seems pretty slow man

[chilly fable]

Are wild baby argy a thing and if so do they fly around with the parent or what?

[past wolf]

Ill be back in a bit, im gonna dig into the ini files and see if I can come up with a solution to the console commands

[barren harness]

check dms itll be easier for me to talk

@vocal yoke submit a server report

[jagged parcel]

only 3 .ini's seem to be in use right now, Input.ini (seems like button mappings), GameUserSettings (all user setttable settings looks like), and Engine.ini (not sure what this is, seems to have paths to game assets or something0

[barren harness]

dont forget Game.ini

[zealous kayak]

Every time I open my inventory, the chat box pops up, and I can't close it unless I exit my inventory. Anyone know a solution to this?

[past wolf]

game.ini controls multiplayer -undedicated server settings it looks like

[sleek storm]

Dmd you

[lean crystal]

Yep, and I'll repurchase the game when I'm able to join servers. Simple as that 🤷. Don't know what your point is

[crude seal]

Why do all the servers say they are full?

[jagged parcel]

My game.ini is blank?

[past wolf]

have you ran an undedicated server yet @jagged parcel

[barren harness]

bug with player counts, god they need to pin that

[unkempt lily]

Client instablitiy is still a rampant issue for me

Attach the debugger now, else press OK to continue.

GPU Hanging, adjust your clock settings and steam launch -windowed -dx11

[wispy lily]

is someone else also constantly crashing at hidden lake?

[unkempt lily]

that will disable raytracing et all

[feral marten]

I have not crashed there, and built right by it.

[past wolf]

Then continue crashing

[jagged parcel]

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ... Is your GPU overclocked @unkempt lily

[unkempt lily]

the solution to the UE5 remaster is to run it in DX11?

[feral marten]

It's not but ppl think it is.

[hazy grotto]

Not yet, but my game wants to blow up when im near redwoods lmao

[barren harness]

brb fellas

[wet tundra]

anyone else crashing while opening inventory near water?

[past wolf]

the solution is the devs fix the game, theres gpu/driver/game conflicts until things get updated you can try running in DX12 but you also may encounter render errors and crash

[unkempt lily]

I guess i can try underclocking the GPU, but its running very cool, not even breaking 50C

[past wolf]

@barren harness @jagged parcel Paths=../../../Engine/Plugins/Editor/ConsoleVariablesEditor/Content found that in engine.ini alotta good paths/info in that one

[sour river]

Anyone having issues with ark ascended with character creation freezing and 1 fps?
Also task manager it’s only running barely 35%

[outer warren]

Why is it when im sprint flying with a pteranodon and i press c nothing happens?

[past wolf]

Got an error message?

[sour river]

Nah I was getting them but not now

[feral marten]

Like I said, not a solution - and for many ppl who try it after being told try ti (to run a platform UE5 isn't meant for) - they're still seeing the same problems.

Meanwhile I'm now on the 20+ hour marker with my buddy who is running it off a 2060 I gave to him, who has crashed 2x since launch.

Frame gen / etc is a huge problem though - my 4090 crashes constantly with frame gen on. But with it off, I'm back to recording in OBS / playing stable fps / etc.

[hazy grotto]

its like that for everyone, not sure if they changed the keybind or just removed c spinning

[jagged parcel]

@past wolf I also found that they are using sentry[dot]io for crash reporting.... I use that for work myself, so that is good to see

[sour river]

It’s just freezing not saying “not responding” just froze

[outer warren]

Why is my friend able to do it then?

[unkempt lily]

flyer things maybe disabled on the server you're on?

[hazy grotto]

🤷‍♂️ check keybinds

[fierce cave]

does anyone know how to fix the water and clouds they are pixelated, ive been trying all day

[feral marten]

Let me test again but my level 60 ptera and our level 147 ptera didn't do that.

[past wolf]

Not sure how long youve been waiting to try and argue but swapping back to DX11 has fixed 9/10 times to get people far enough to atleast get us an error message to work with or get in the game.

[mild temple]

bro did they remove railings

[carmine lagoon]

@carmine lance regional pricing @carmine lance

[sour river]

Weird as well, I can look at the floor and fps goes to normal or facing the sky soon as I look around in front unplayable

[hexed flax]

anyone not even able to join any officials? It always says its full or connection timeout

[feral marten]

If swapping to it gets you to an error message; it's not a fix. Seems like you made it worse.

Second to that "waiting to argue" ROFL - on the 30s timer? As I watch ppl for day ssitting here since I don't have to work try and claim it; then respond back with "that didn't fix anything"

[outer warren]

Figured out what it was. The barrel roll is set to crouch for some reason

[hazy grotto]

ew

[feral marten]

If your hardware is having trouble with the volumetric sky; you can use the console to disable it.

[past wolf]

No error message = Bad, getting an error message = better, gtfo if you cant contribute in any helpful way

[feral marten]

Going from it not loading to getting an error that won't be fixed (as it's not meant to be ran on DX11 ) doesn't equal better - getting the DX12 issue reported = better.

GTFO if you can't process info.

[past wolf]

brb while I go load up the game in -dx11 and run around for the next 20 hours with no issues

[chilly grove]

What’s your fps? I have a 4090 myself but feel like it stutters too much and I hit 80 ish fps but not stable

[feral marten]

BRB while my buddy and I both sit in DX12 still on our private server for over 20 horus with no issues. (Oh look I can do that too.)

[hearty heart]

yall have any good unofficial pvp servers for ASA?

[barren harness]

sorry capo youre better at explaining the overclock stuff

yeah pistol isnt great for killing big dinos

[feral marten]

Depends on resolution and settings; with Frame Gen on in 4k it's around 60. (Which I'm fine with at 4k)

In 1080p I can breach 110+ with frame gen on and epic BUT Frame Gen is causing some weird ass GPU crashes - like full stop resets the GPU driver, so discord / obs / game all die out and monitor restarts lol.

So I turned it off, and at epic I still average around 70 fps in 1080p FAR less in 4k as expected because it's not optimized yet and UE5 effects in 4k hurt (even fortnite UE5 effects turned up act goofy on my 4090)

[delicate iris]

Is anyone else’s steam saying the game is “patching” ? It’s been through the whole process a few times. Pls @ me if u know why or have a solution

[jagged parcel]

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED is speak for "
0x887A0006
The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed."

[austere terrace]

I have a theory, neither I or any of my tribemates has seen the official server count over 200,
My theory is the reasoning behind the Servers Being Down for so long between times is that they are swapping servers in and out for activity because they cannot exceed hosting over 200 servers for whatever their reason is. Our server has came back up generally around the same time everyday so far and went down during similar times, wether this has something to do with it or not, its quite suspicious that theres only 200 servers at most at a time. WildCard is cheaping out and hiding things from us.

[barren harness]

restart steam and see if it fixes it

[jagged parcel]

Meaning ARK told your GPU to do something dumb and it crashed out theGPU

[barren harness]

stop tinfoil hat posting in the help channel

[past wolf]

Start with the basics of what we can read, D3D12 is gonna be a DX12 error, D3D = DX, D12 = DX12, go to steam launch setting and boot in -DX11, most likely a game/GPU conflict, could be game, could be drivers, wont know til an update and probably never will know

[jagged parcel]

You are right. ARK is straight causing GPU crashes somehow on the driver level. Never personally seen a game do that, though its definitely not the first.

[austere terrace]

its not tinfoil hat, people are literally confirming the same experience.

[feral marten]

Turn off Frame Gen = it seems to stop.

[past wolf]

Frame Gen and DLSS are known issues, which sucks because I was interested in trying it out rip

[jagged parcel]

Thats probably why I myself have not seen this error, on a 3070ti you cannot do frame gen

[barren harness]

its theory guessing at best, and if you wanna blame someone for the server issues blame nitrado

[ionic seal]

bro ark needs to figure out the tether shit. I cant afford a server, and officail dont work, and unoficial has the most DOG rates ever

[feral marten]

Yep lol same reason my friend playing on a 2060 doesn't have it happen like I do.

Sucks to not be able to fully use my Samsung Ark at 120hz in 4k lol but is what it is; there are plenty of games that are newer that do not run 120hz in 4k still even with a 4090 (looking at you MSFS2020, and cyberpunk) Frame gen does a LOT of great things but it also acts goofy sometimes.

[sleek storm]

I cant seem to figure it out how do i set this launch setting

[barren harness]

yes tether is very shit but this is help channel

[past wolf]

No problem, right click ASA in steam library > properties > scroll down and then paste in -dx11 OR try -high -maxMem=65536 -malloc=system -force-feature-level-11-0 -cpuCount=10 -exThreads=16 -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded +fps_max 0 -high -nojoy -dxlevel 95 -forcenovsync +exec autoexec

I did literally everything i could to do from Asa not crashing as soon as I click the game I tried validating files it said all files where good I uninstalled the game 3 times my pc can run the game idk what else right now I'm restarting my pc and hopefully that helps the crash says lowlevelfatalerror or need to add debugger I'm so confused if someone can help that would be amazing

Dont use frame gen it will crash you, and if you wanna be safe turn off DLSS as well

For my server, I copied the singleplayer settings and added them to the respective INI files. Just dont copy all the Game User Settings over because the ones on your nitrado server like PW and server address need to be in there

Memory allocation issues are solved by increasing paging file size, you can look up (increase paging file) on google

[stoic idol]

Set imprint to 0.009 interval or 0.09

[slender drift]

I noticed that using the button console command (the one that opens up when you press esc )
instead of using r.VolumetricCloud 0 you should use r.VolumetricCloud = 0

[barren harness]

Absolutely, is there any chance I can be taken off slow mode for helping purposes q.q

I can't change it for individual users, but the cooldown is only 30 seconds to help mitigate how fast the channel is moving. Over the next few weeks once the initial launch main issues have gotten better, the discord will slowly but surely go back to more normal slow modes ♥️

ok well, Ive discovered the tanks but those need cementing paste and they seem to destroy spawns so seems a lil weird

[obtuse tangle]

mine patched then started installing game again :E

[stoic idol]

Increased FPS by at least 40 frames, Thank you again man

[past wolf]

im at work right now or I would be hammered lmfao

[past wolf]

dont forget @barren harness and @jagged parcel theyve been OGs

[barren harness]

bros out here working and solving probs, yall be nice to the man

[velvet tartan]

How do i not make my game look like glass panes!!!!

[dense whale]

what to do when the ark loads endlessly????

[stoic idol]

Heck yeah, thank you to everyone who helps

[fierce cave]

does anyone know how to fix the water and clouds???

[past wolf]

whats the issue?

[red jungle]

aye my specs are a 1660 ti a i5 9400f and 16 gb ram can i run ark ascended at all

[fierce cave]

both are extremely pixelated

[past wolf]

its gonna hurt

[past wolf]

Can you DM me a screenshot of what it looks like

[velvet tartan]

Do you know how to make my game not look like g lass panes

[past wolf]

DM me screenshot of your graphic settings and what it looks like

[ruby ember]

Anyone have their supply drop light beams not showing on single player? The drops themselves are there but no lights coming from the sky. Makes them super hard to find

[jagged parcel]

If you were messing in console, you might need a reset on your settings.

[velvet tartan]

How do i do that, causes thats what i did

[past wolf]

close and reopen game

[prime sleet]

why does my game look blurry

[past wolf]

Adjust graphics settings

[prime sleet]

they are max

[plain stag]

I have as much chance of doing that as you do tbh. Hopefully the game suggestions and support pages will be back online soon.

[delicate apex]

because render scaling is NEVER at 100% . slider doesnt work as intended. its a complete mess... game is so blurry now after the updates

[past wolf]

Theres a way to do it one moment

[delicate apex]

@past wolf you can set it to 100, but i wont render at 100% . for sure not. those are their under their hood tweakings they talked about in the patch notes

[prime sleet]

so even if its at 100% which i always have it as it isnt actually 100%

[past wolf]

One of the settings controls the RS, I cant remember which one off the top of my head

[delicate apex]

right. its bugged or intended, because you get more fps... but for a high price

[molten perch]

i am a bit desperate here 💀

[prime sleet]

cuz the game be fr hurting my eyes 😭

[past wolf]

Set graphics presets to EPIC and adjust them lower from there, anti aliasing has alot to do with sharpening images, so play with that

[delicate apex]

mine too. on release day the game was crystal clear and sharp. with the first patch they broke it all and said they fixed performance lol

[prime sleet]

yea it looked so nice the first day

[delicate apex]

alot of people dont seem to notice that its never rendered at 100% - even if the slider is at 100. i saw the game at release day, it was night and day

[grand sentinel]

can you do something about adding beginner servers please please please there are new players

[woven wyvern]

Has anyone else had a problem with dinosaurs disappearing off boats? Has happened 3x w me, driving a boat and all my dino’s become invisible and float over water

[bitter bough]

[past wolf]

Are you running the cmdlets?

[tawny gulch]

Anyone on 9231 that can't join too?

[hardy igloo]

anyone cashing on rafts

[past wolf]

Water is a known FPS killer on some rigs, havent figured out what the correlation is tho

[junior marlin]

HOLY SHIT I GOT INTO THE GAME

[past wolf]

@junior marlin LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what'd you do

[hardy igloo]

fps are fine it just crashes I get a stable 70 fps on water even with water mount but if the raft goes throughsome terrain it crashes bad

[junior marlin]

I turned down resolution to 1080p

[past wolf]

Odd but, good to know lol.

[drowsy sparrow]

when i try to re launch ark asa it starts to download again

[bitter bough]

cmdlets?

[past wolf]

Patch just released I think @bitter bough the r. sg. commands

[hazy grotto]

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

Not sure how to fix this, but its the only error i get while playing, it brings up a white next box and kicks me out of the server : s

[warm spire]

Any luck on getting through a frozen character creation recently?

[velvet tartan]

Is therte gonna me a awesome spy glass mod?

[bitter bough]

[drowsy sparrow]

so ill need to re instal the 80 gb of the game

[gritty fiber]

how do i place a furnace and not have it snap in the middle of the foundation

[delicate vale]

HOW

[past wolf]

I figured, you (not trying to be mean) are on the lowest end rig that has the highest performance ive seen so far

[gritty fiber]

plz help im so confused

[past wolf]

No but it needs to patch the whole game again unfortunately. @bitter bough if you wanna try and shoot for more FPS look for my pinned message theres a bunch more in there

[hardy igloo]

Hold q to disable snapping

[past wolf]

I know nothing about building, I just like flying around and farming.

[grand sentinel]

can you do something about adding beginner servers please please please there are new players 🥺

[bitter bough]

yeah nah ik my rig is low end lol glad im able to run it tho although i am bothered that the game looks bad on all medium but guessing thats because of my rig or something

[grand sentinel]

you are bothered on all medium meanwhile me runing on all low 🥺

[hardy igloo]

BTW NVIDIA already supports optimization for GEFORCE users gave my wife 10 more fps

[past wolf]

pls see my pinned message it really helps

[junior marlin]

I turned down resolution to 1080p, and turned down a few other things I’d share a pic of my graphics settings but I don’t want to jinx it lol

[bitter bough]

well my all medium looks like its all low idk why my game looks rlly bad

[viscid whale]

what is fsr?

[grand sentinel]

i will check thank you for this news from wonderfull nvidia

[hardy igloo]

@past wolf any clue about this: Attach the debugger now, else press OK to continue.

when are they fixing tether distance?

[junior marlin]

Although for some reason my character’s hair color is brown in game when I set it to be white

[bitter bough]

ive tried putting my stuff at high just to see if i was having an issue (wouldnt be able to play on high cuz too low fps) but the game looks really bad still even on high too

[molten perch]

how rare are beehives

[grand sentinel]

why is nvidia still not supporting this game all they do is support alan wake 2 ffffff

[hardy igloo]

check your resolution and if you have an nvidia card you can optimize the game through geforce experience

[past wolf]

First time im seeing this one, looks like it might be a render error but id have to dig, could be a crash though

[hazy grotto]

ASAs there lol

[junior marlin]

Holy shit there’s unicorns on the island!? I saw one just now in south zone 1

[past wolf]

@hardy igloo unfortunately im just a random guy whose going out of his way to try and help, its taken me days to get some of this info i can look into this one as well though and see if I can find anything

[hazy grotto]

ive been playing on medium since launch with ~65 fps, loaded up geforce and it switched everything to low 😭

[rain wave]

Anyone know how to increase the dino spawn count?

[hardy igloo]

I know i saw, I appreciate just wanted to see if anyone had more insight.

[grand sentinel]

Nvidia tf you ding nvidia start supporting ark nvidia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nvidia supports alan wake 2 who gives a f about alan wake nvidia start updating ARK

[past wolf]

Im at work so I cant play the game but this helps so if I have these bugs later I can fix them and play the game lol

[molten falcon]

ark is bullshit

[grand sentinel]

do it nvidia !

[jagged parcel]

Nice I am genuinely stoked for you!!! 🤩

[past wolf]

Looks like multiple rendering failures though, did this happen in a specific location or action? just trying to get an idea

[bleak summit]

No patch notes for the latest patch?

[shadow quartz]

is there not an auto run button in ASA?

[molten falcon]

ark is bullshit

[past wolf]

I was so hyped when I saw that lol, been seeing @junior marlin trying the last day to get ingame

[molten falcon]

It simply isn’t letting me resume the new update help

[hardy igloo]

Yea it keeps happening on this one raft, I tried verifying files but I drive the raft 10 feet and it crashes.

[hazy grotto]

I let geforce decide whats best for me and instantly crashed when loading into a server, has never happened prior

[jagged parcel]

Double check the performance <_> quality slider in GeForce. There are actually multiple optimizations depending on what you want GeForce experience to actually do.

[molten falcon]

It simply isn’t letting me resume the new update help

[daring rapids]

are cnidaria not in the game yet?

[past wolf]

KK, water is a known issue, let me try and find the specific cmdlets for you to use in the console

[jagged parcel]

In steam?

[hardy igloo]

appreciate it

[hazy grotto]

its under optimal atm

[molten falcon]

Yes

[rain wave]

Guys in game if you put into the console ( r.VolumeMetricCloud 0 ) It will help boost your Fps ❤️ i went from 68 to 97 . hope this helps

[past wolf]

grass.enable 0
r.Water.SingleLayer.Reflections 0 - r.VolumetricCloud 0 run these one by one

[heavy yarrow]

is there a way to check which servers ive been on my they all got unfavorited?

[past wolf]

That may help, but I dont know the source of the water FPS/Crashing issue yet so I cant really find a hard fix for it

[hardy igloo]

kk appreciate i will look into it

[jagged parcel]

@past wolf I'm betting it's reflections.

[junior marlin]

The game looks gorgeous compared to ASE holy moly. I even saw a unicorn when I spawned in! those are supposed to be very rare I think! But now I have a weird bug where my character looks nothing like she does when I made her in character creation

[past wolf]

Yeah I have that same issue, I have NO idea why but it doesnt affect gameplay

[jagged parcel]

Now that's something I haven't heard about. 😕

[rain wave]

You can aslo add ( -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -high -maxMem=65536 -malloc=system -force-feature-level-11-0 -cpuCount=10 -exThreads=16 -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded +fps_max 0 -high -nojoy -dxlevel 95 -forcenovsync +exec autoexec ) into your Games Advanced Launch Options . it massivly increased my FPS also .

[junior marlin]

Yeah its throwing off my immersion a bit lol

[past wolf]

not to be rude, but yall please check my pinned message for a FPS boost guide

[rain wave]

Only awake didnt even see it was pinned HAHA

[past wolf]

No worries lol, ive been doing my best to try and keep chatspam down because im swapping windows every 2 seconds pulling info and referencing my document that I have all these error codes in its a pain

Good to know

I know this is going to sound dumb, but have you tried restarting?

Probably because the epic one isn't working as intended xD

We all in this together lol, standby yall for tech support I need to work on my real job for a second and use the restroom

Still crashing like past few days even tho they said they "fixed it" , now since today's patch dx11 doesn't work either haha it pops errors as soon as i enter

[bleak summit]

Still freezing after latest patch

[jagged parcel]

Are you getting crash logs? Please post if you are.

[molten falcon]

this is actually really helpful. Went from playing all low settings on my 2070 super and getting 30 frames to 90 frames on medium settings

[eternal nest]

hey my friend made a non-dedicated server but i cannot find it. Also it is not on "private match" is there something she needs to do to make it appear on the non-dedicate server list?

[next rapids]

Does fortitude not work

[zenith shoal]

is there a fix for the 2% install? Or are we just waiting it out

[opal ridge]

No there are no crash logs its just a freeze and you are forced to shut it down using task manager

[hoary saddle]

Clear cache in steam settings

[normal field]

no. should just appear. is there a password on it?

[molten falcon]

I have restarted steam and my pc

[bleak summit]

Nope. It doesn’t crash. It just freezes (not responding in task manager)

[jagged parcel]

If its password protected you have to check the option for it.

[eternal nest]

yes but i selected show pass word protected servers

[acoustic oyster]

is the note run the same?

[zenith shoal]

will try this, Thank you.

[jagged parcel]

We're you streaming in discord by chance?

[hoary saddle]

No problem 👍

[eternal nest]

well, it says there is an admin pass but the server itself is blank in settings for passwords

[bleak summit]

Nope

[normal field]

I still found that I couldn't see my friend's non-dedicated when it had a password on it. Try turning it off and having a look?

[eternal nest]

turn off the password how?

[opal sequoia]

Hihi

[molten falcon]

anyone know what setting it is to make trees less blocky

[past wolf]

its a sacrifice we make for good FPS

[normal field]

ah, admittedly not sure about that one. in ASE, you could go through the game files but idk about this one. if there isn't much progress, maybe just make a new non-dedicated server?

[earnest bough]

Hey. My friend and I are on a non dedicated and he cant build anywhere. Anyone know how to fix this?

[bleak summit]

ohhhmmmayygoodz
-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -high -maxMem=65536 -malloc=system -force-feature-level-11-0 -cpuCount=10 -exThreads=16 -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded +fps_max 0 -nojoy -forcenovsync +exec autoexec might have worked for me, been playing for longer then 30 seconds now.

EDIT: NOPE, STILL FROZE. sadface

[past wolf]

lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[opal ridge]

Look into the trees and try swimming that will answer your question xD

[molten falcon]

fair enough 😭 Its running about as good as ase did on my potato so ill take whatever I can get

[manic jetty]

is voice chat disabled on official servers?

[daring rapids]

i wish they wouldnt have added so many trees on the island, svatalfheim is so much better for fps cause theres not at much foliage, just too too many trees on the island for it to run smooth

[bleak summit]

Scratch that. FROZE.

[past wolf]

check the pinned messages for the FPS guide, that may assist

[fierce cave]

does anyone know how to fix the clouds and water?

[rain wave]

Any chance you know how to increase dino spawns? my server barely gets any Dinos x) cant seem to find the option for it 😢

[opal ridge]

I tried that fps guide didn't help either, wildcard needs to fix it but they are putting it last e.e

[bleak summit]

it's not an FPS problem. i can set all settings to low and play at 60 fps, the game still freezes after a few seconds

[cinder shard]

Being able to build on notes is broken

[paper charm]

anyone else still getting the UNET ERROR when trying to join servers?

[past wolf]

Not necessarily an FPS thing, its more to reduce load on components

[bleak summit]

well, im trying all possible permutations of settings and launch parameters, ty anyway

[normal field]

'fix' as in switch back on?

[fierce cave]

i mean stop them from glitching, i can run the game fine with both clouds and water they just are staticy

[daring rapids]

oh i have no idea, i just run them off and it normally gets my 30 more fps

[opal ridge]

I tried probably every combination of things possible nothing helps, removing dlss makes you stay in game for about 30 sec longer but you inevitably crash

[past wolf]

Frame generation on?

[fierce cave]

i dont need any more fps, i just want the game to look the best it can and right now it isnt

[somber wadi]

i cant find my corpse/bag

[past wolf]

Try playing with turning some of them down, some people have reported the game looks better on lower graphics settings, change it one by one

[manic jetty]

does voice chat work for anyone else on official?

[somber wadi]

no waypoint or anything
i crashed midair and my flyer died and i cant find either of the bags

[potent ledge]

its a bug u have to uninstall then reinstall your game, or buy a new copy of asa (ur liscnece is fucked)

[delicate vale]

What a cpu u have

[opal ridge]

Raytracing yes, but the dlss isn't specific to only RTX gpu's its been a thing before RTX was added, its just that RTX gpus are getting more dlss features in time now, 40 series now has frame generation while previous 2 RTX series don't

[bleak summit]

gotta wait... if you're patient enough it might just complete for no reason

but the distance between the intake and the tap is too far outside of the bluetooth aoe

[torn aurora]

DO NOT uninstall your game unless you want to waste your time it is a visual glitch when it gets stuck at 2%

[magic zealot]

are they working on a patch for the tether distance not changing?

[past wolf]

That would be a builders problem then you would have to work on the base design

[noble hamlet]

You still looking?

[jagged parcel]

@past wolf I'm bbbbacccck. Catch me up if you can

[neon tartan]

so "base design" is bad if you build somewhere that isn't within 10 feet of water? so 85% of the map?

[junior marlin]

For people having issues with crashing/pc shutdown at character creation - I somehow fixed the issue by tweaking resolution down to 1080p and turning down anti-aliasing from its default Epic setting to Medium. Changing around other graphical settings may help too. I think there's a bug tied to game resolution causing excess memory use maybe I'm not 100%

Otherwise everything is at default 'Medium' settings that the game set me to at startup

[short mesa]

Guys where the fuck is server 3468

[past wolf]

I got a giant pinned message now thankfully, if you check that out itll catch you up

[manic jetty]

does voice chat work for anyone else on official servers?

[past wolf]

@junior marlin that reminds me - yall, epic graphics settings are bonked at the moment, try using medium high instead almost everyone is saying it looks better

[jagged parcel]

I can second, for some reason forcing 1080p causes things to kinda fix themsevles. Makes me wonder if its an object size issue in memory buffers

[wise lantern]

Every time I open inventory crash, so bugged

[torn aurora]

@inner roost It always gets stuck at 2% for me too and a lot of people it's just a visual glitch where it doesn't show the progress of the install however it is still installing the update

[junior marlin]

Hmm interesting!

[olive ermine]

is there a fix for grass flickering?

[past wolf]

Rendering errors seem to be a good chunk since the last patch, wondering if when people load in its just too much too fast for the GPU/CPUs to keep up with

[past wolf]

remove grass, see pinned message for the console command, cant touch grass if there is none 😄

[jagged parcel]

@past wolf Could be. I know texture streaming can be all over the place across different cards/bus bandwidths

[cinder crest]

Medium foliage fixes it for now

See my pinned message, also lower graphics to medium-high

[lusty urchin]

[jagged parcel]

It sounds counter intuative to set to medium, but for some reason it works, and something is wrong with higher settings, they don't look better all the time.

any thoughts?

[past wolf]

@past crystal @rustic nacelle @hardy igloo @opal ridge After some research & test, here is my fix :

1/
In C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\5.1\Config

Add :

[/Script/UdpMessaging.UdpMessagingSettings]
EnabledByDefault=False
EnableTransport=True
bAutoRepair=True
MaxSendRate=1.000000
AutoRepairAttemptLimit=10
WorkQueueSize=1024
bStopServiceWhenAppDeactivates=True
UnicastEndpoint=0.0.0.0:0
MulticastEndpoint=230.0.0.1:50000
MessageFormat=CborPlatformEndianness
MulticastTimeToLive=1
EnableTunnel=False
TunnelUnicastEndpoint=
TunnelMulticastEndpoint=

To the file DefaultEngine.ini

2/ Remove Engine.ini in C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\5.1\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor

When you will launch UE again, the Engine.ini will be regenerated with the port 50000 instead of 6666 for the parameter MulticastEndpoint. It should allow you to launch UE without crashing.

[final ember]

is there a setting somewhere to turn off the automatic UI pin for tribe tames?

[rustic nacelle]

i can play just fine but it crashes around 10 minutes

[hardy igloo]

same here, the issue is when I am already in game, I can launch and play just fine at first.

[surreal anvil]

how do I fix the game not updating? the game thinks it doesnt have enough space but it does? is there a way to fix this or ignore the update since I am just playing single player

[past wolf]

I know that memory leaks are a thing, I would try out the paging file solution then and see if that may help

[past crystal]

I will try that, thank you!

[surreal anvil]

how do I do that

[woeful crater]

difficulty hard, config files difficulty override 10 default 1.0 in non-dedicated server, have wiped wild dinos several times

well then i guess u can try destroying wild dinos, or just change the difficulty in gameusersettings

[rustic nacelle]

lmmk if it fixes crashes

Under that config i have WindowsClient and Manifest, i put it into manifest?

yup

Any ETA on ASA switch release?

[queen phoenix]

LMFAO ( NEVER )

[past wolf]

Not sure, I grabbed that from the Unity forums, it might take some independent research for that one the missus is calling for me now

[hushed garnet]

Bro it’s all I can afford .

[short mesa]

Switch would blow up

[queen phoenix]

and with ASA rn, you will legit never be ablke to run that

[hushed garnet]

WARNING ⚠️

Don’t try to play below the minimum spec requirements on steam. My game froze after rendering Dino corpses and my motherboard set on fire. PC won’t turn back on.

It was really old and my back wiring didn’t help, but still. Be careful

[past crystal]

Yeah I'll see if I can download them from somewhere

[short mesa]

My friend has a 1050 and he plays you gotta dumb the game down with console commands

[hushed garnet]

Well my PC set on fire so it’s a bit late

[queen phoenix]

im playing on a 1660

[past crystal]

if yoru mb catches fire then something went wrong when the pc or its parts were built

[hushed garnet]

I built it myself, what does that say about me?

[junior marlin]

Welp so much for being able to play… I load into my single player game after changing some engram settings and within seconds my pc crashes

[surreal anvil]

is there a way to save the commands I am running ingame (the fps boosting ones)

[distant rock]

why is interpolation and 3rd person camera offset options greyed out ?

[short mesa]

Yes bro you can enter all the commands in at one time and then Everytime you go into the game you hit the console and go up with the up arrow and hit enter

[past crystal]

It says to watch a better turtorial or something haha

[chilly fable]

Did you do the maintinence regularly like the PC's always say to in instruction manuals like taking the side off and cleaning out dust every 6 months with compressed air? Most people don't. It's likely the system heated up and dust caught fire when it went at 100%

[queen phoenix]

guys just a heads up, if you begin to not be able to move at all and it seems like your frozen, legit try and leave ASAP because that means you are abt to be kicked. just happened to me and i prevented it from removing itself from mmy server list ( if you get kicked from the server, it gets removed from your server list for some stupid ass reason)

[austere terrace]

fix 2317 right now

[hushed garnet]

I had so much loose cables behind the back and it got really hot when I first joined but for some reason I tried to keep playing.

I was told thermal paste was meant to help cooling but I never bothered to add any.

[past crystal]

I'm installing the newest UnrealEngine Version and seeing if that helps now

[surreal anvil]

didnt work

[hushed garnet]

I’m just gobsmacked ASA causes my PC to set on fire

[surreal anvil]

I found a fix this happened to me this morning the only problem is the fix is uninstalling the game

[chilly fable]

Yeah technically you're meant to replace thermal paste every so often and use cmpressed air to blow all the dust out to keep them cool. Atm we haven't got any game ready video card drivers for Ark either so video drivers bugs could cause that too.

[sage raptor]

Did they change penguin spawns or am I buggin

[chilly fable]

ASA? Alot of spawns seem different haha

[opal ridge]

I don't think it will, the defaultengine.ini is specific for ASA, @past wolf could you somehow check if you got that file and package it and send it to us?

[hushed garnet]

My power supply was faulty too, should’ve mentioned that.

[past crystal]

oh yeah that would be amazing lol

[sage raptor]

The use to spawn all over icebergs but can’t find one now

[opal ridge]

I found some such files but for other games completely so i'm assuming asa needs one of its own

[past wolf]

Yeah give me a moment, they may be running game game on .2 instead of .1 however

[opal ridge]

Could be although they said they won't be going to 5.2 because its very new and risky so close to launch

i found a .json crash report under 5.0

[bright lintel]

is there a setting that edits the clouds? becuase they are killing my game >>

[hushed garnet]

Just wait for sun it runs better

[chilly fable]

Did you kill all the fish and sharks under the iceberg? People never remember that things share spawns and RNG means if you keep killing penguins and fish keep spawning the 100 dinos that can spawn in that area is not full of 80 fish and 20 sharks LOL. DestroyWildDinos console command can also fix it if you can't kill underwater stuff yet since it kills every dino on hte whole island

[past crystal]

@opal ridge @past wolf if you find anything can you message me pls?? im going to sleep now haha

@minor peak I need to contact customer support , I click on the Zendesk link amd takes me to a blank page . I have been locked out of the official servers for some reason ,pls help

[void ice]

sigh, they added support for alan wake 2... but not ASA eh?

[opal ridge]

we're trying to figure it out, all of us crashing seem to be missing some unreal engine 5 files, hence we think that's why we're crashing

[chilly fable]

Yeah well think about it they released the latest driver the day before ASA yet it isn't a game ready driver for it xD

[signal belfry]

i see. thank you for the info

[minor peak]

Ohhh
Yeah sorry those are currently not working
Jus the #server-reports one is
I’m not sure if the Survive The Ark has its customers support option yet
Can go check I’m not sure

[past wolf]

I do not have it the .1 file, and ive gotta blast the missus is at my neck i shall return later tho

[tranquil lantern]

Can someone pls help me. Every time now since yesterday when ever there is an update for the game, it will complete the update and then try to proceed and re-download the game for some reason and when I tried launching the game it said "missing game files" or something like that. I resolved it yesterday by just uninstalling and reinstalling the game but that takes me over 2 hours to do and I really dont want to have to wait over 2 hours everyday just to play the game. If anyone has an idea what could be causing this can you please help me out? It would mean a lot.

[delicate vale]

is it fix for freezing and crash in game?

[quiet cosmos]

do silica pearls not glow anymore or did i change a setting?

[minor peak]

Yeah I know it’s not server
Try the SurviveTheArk site it might have an option

[noble lion]

I’m fairly unaware of how Nvidia drivers work for certain games but if NVIDIA release a driver update for ASA, Will performance improve? Or is that a question that we will only know the answer to when said driver is released…

[chilly fable]

Look up info on how to delete steam cache that tends to fix issues like that 🙂 also make sure you have a good ammount of free space on the SSD the game is on since it needs more space than the game uses for patching.

[gentle olive]

It does have the option but when I click on it it takes me to a blank Zendesk page

[opal ridge]

I see, cannot do anything about it then, sad

[cinder crest]

Nvidia sometimes wait with EA games for game ready drivers.

[noble lion]

ok, I am in the process of clearing my steam cache so we will see if that fixes it. And I have 119 GB of free space pretty sure that isnt the issue

Hopefully they will have it up soon
But keep a list of the violators and some evidence to submit once it’s available

[gilded escarp]

Is this a place to get hlep

[gentle olive]

I know it's not up to you but what am I supposed to do? Just sit here and wait for God knows how long to even contact Customer support when and if it gets setup? Can you please chase this up ?

I did something wrong I think with my settings. I have two wall torches in my structure and it is night time and really hard to see inside the structure. If I light the wall torch or even a campfire, they provide no lite. I did a reset on my graphic settings, not sure what else I can try.

[slender thunder]

I think you'd need to change the difficulty to get more levels but I can't be 100% sure

[iron hull]

yalls update corrpt the game files now i have to reinstall the game thnx WIld card

[torn aurora]

lol well i'm not too sure how to fix your problem I think your the first one to have it

[gilded escarp]

I'm not getting any levels at all

[slender thunder]

None?

Have you checked game.ini files? I think the tame levels are in there somewhere

[feral marten]

Anyone else seeing that when a wild dino kills something it auto heals? because lol that's uh getting old

[lone onyx]

Is there a new console for ASA dedicated servers?? I can't seem to run any commands in the dedicated servers console l o l,,

[feral marten]

Yes, and it works just the same as ASE.

[terse blade]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[bleak sand]

Do mods work on non-dedicated servers atm?

[lone onyx]

Really?? So that must just mean I'm braindead,, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to enable cheats in the server, but it could just be my small brain causing the issue..

[feral marten]

` key should open it; you then have to enter the admin password the same as before. Nitrado let's you change the password but it had a default one in mine when I set the server up.

[noble lion]

Anyone else having problems with fps during sunsets/rises and anyone have any solutions for this?

[wide galleon]

anyone got this problem

[latent prawn]

any reason I crash on bed screen? or what a fix could be? only started recently

[wide galleon]

are u getting the debugger or etc

[lone onyx]

Gotcha.. Is there a way to set the password in the game.ini or gameusersettings.ini files?? I'm fairly certain i've tried the enablecheats command before in the tilde command box, to no luck.

[fallow holly]

any one knows how to fix the update isuue of re downloding the game

[feral marten]

The admin password can be changed on Nitrado web interface without going into either.

[candid wraith]

when I go to join official servers the tab is grey'd out, would anybody know why? or a fix?

[torn aurora]

redownloading the game?

[fallow holly]

it makes me instal 70 gb all that cuz 2% stuck at update thing

[lone onyx]

Any clue on hows to go about doing in on a personal dedicated server? I have one running on a seperate PC, and am using the portforwarding to host with friends and family.

[torn aurora]

so the install isn't actually downloading the game again it is installing the update into the pre-existing files to then update the game

[fallow holly]

yeh kinda

[torn aurora]

also the 2% glitch is very widespread and is just a visual glitch, so it is actually still installing the update it just doesn't show the progress

[latent prawn]

any reason I crash on bed screen? or what a fix could be? only started recently, or any fix?

[fallow holly]

so whats fix for 70gb thing

[mossy scroll]

hey guys

[surreal anvil]

how to fix steam thinking I dont have enough space for a update

[bleak current]

Can I safely assume that any servers reporting a server full with < 70 players is just a bug?

[mossy scroll]

7900xtx + 7800x3D getting extremely weird visuals, very distorted clouds and water and lighting. I can send videos, pls help

[feral marten]

I am FAILRY sure the admin password exists in the gameusersettings.ini but it's been forever since I looked at ASE to check -

[torn aurora]

the 70gb is steam updating the already existing files its meant to happen

[valid niche]

So I have this since this mornings update everytime I try to load my single player world. Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000d0000028e

CL: 449518
..blah blah. I have played with drivers, settings, re-installs etc etc. So tonight I have set everything back to how it was working yesterday. Still errors. So I installed Svartelheim from the mod maps, and no error. It loads in and work lovely. So it has to be a map/save issue...right?

[fallow holly]

what i aint instaling 70gb

[bitter compass]

im nstalling 70 gb again after already installing the game and playing 5 hours

[jagged parcel]

@surreal anvil Had this issue with a buddy yesterday. He had Valorant install the day before but something went wrong and it reported as being 1.1TB. Check your storage in WINDOWS SETTINGS>Storage manager and see if you have an app that has claimed a weird amount of storage

[torn aurora]

downloading and installing are different things, downloading is you getting data from the internet, installing is that data basically being placed i guess

[lone onyx]

Awesome! I'm not sure this will solve my issue,, but Im super appreciative of the responses! Thanks a ton ^^

[feral marten]

Oh also - the game can have a setting to turn off the ability to open the console

[mossy scroll]

7900xtx + 7800x3D getting extremely weird visuals, very distorted clouds and water and lighting. I can send videos, pls help, GPU and CPU are 100% fine (sorry didnt mean reply)

[surreal anvil]

ty but my files say I have enough storage

[fallow holly]

it says it gona take 10h

[feral marten]

Settings - Advanced - console Access (this might be part of your problem joining your dedicated) that it's not letting you open it. But also check the setting for the admin password

[supple rover]

everytime there is a steam update for the game, it gets stuck at installing 2% how do i fix this

[torn aurora]

is it still stuck on 2%, if it is then it won't take 10 hours

[fallow holly]

its not know its saying 70gb thing

[torn aurora]

its just a visual glitch it will eventually finish

[round trail]

with what youre saying its your fault tbh not ASA lol

[torn aurora]

what do you mean its saying 70gb thing

[round trail]

didnt even know a pc could run without thermal paste

[mossy scroll]

7900xtx + 7800x3D getting extremely weird visuals, very distorted clouds and water and lighting. I can send videos, pls help, GPU and CPU are 100% fine

[fallow holly]

its says instaling 70gb and says gona take 10h

[torn aurora]

send a screenshot in the screenshots chat

[opal ridge]

Tested it in a few cases and it crashes the moment it boots up and cpu starts doing things haha

[torn aurora]

can you send a screenshot of your screen in the screenshot channel

[latent prawn]

happening to me as well ^

[fallow holly]

k 1 sec restarting steam

[mossy scroll]

its flickering it wont be captured in a screenshot 😦

[torn aurora]

record it

[fierce cave]

im having the same issue as smokey lemme know if it gets solved

[mossy scroll]

where to post? i have videos

[latent prawn]

check the ss channel flynny

[opal ridge]

any obs user here?

[halcyon geode]

anyone know how to fix freezing issue

[latent prawn]

it got deleted

[opal ridge]

Don't think wildcard knows either at this point yet 😭

[mossy scroll]

can i dm you the video?

[torn aurora]

its just a visual glitch it is still updating it just doesn't show the progress it will eventually finish if you want to be sure it will finish try pausing it and then resuming it and then wait like 10 - 15 minutes

[cunning nimbus]

Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000300000077

Do these errors fall under the memory allocation errors mentioned in the pins... I seem to only be getting them when opening or exiting inventory or engram ui screens etc. while in game

[opal ridge]

yeah that's the one

[latent prawn]

waiting 10-15 will do what?

[torn aurora]

then yah just send it to me @mossy scroll

[mossy scroll]

i did it got removed

[cunning nimbus]

Aight thanks for the quick response

[fallow holly]

@torn aurora yo its know patching 70gb some how

[latent prawn]

@fallow holly we are having the same issue, dont worry

[torn aurora]

waiting will let it install

[fair jungle]

i don't see a patch yet?

[valid niche]

I get this Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000d0000028e so thought I was clever when I installed Svartelheim and loaded in with no crash. Hazah! So closed game re-opened tried The Island save, still error..then went back to mod map and same error there now too 😦

[tame forge]

My players on my server are complaining about dinosaur respawn rates. They are reporting that many dinos simply arent respawning within multiple hours of killing. Is anyone else seeing differences in the dino respawn rates or know of anyway to alter them? I do some googling and it all doesn't look like what i need (i am seeing stuff about alphas, and modifying specific dino spawns. I am looking for an overall increase in spawnrates)

[latent prawn]

but I shouldnt have to pause it for it to still install, correct?

[fallow holly]

so what do i do i dont have 70 gb

[vagrant dagger]

Any suggestions for right clicking not working in the inventory on items?

[latent prawn]

its patching your current 70g, not redownloading it

[mossy scroll]

thank you

[opal ridge]

Haha i download that modded map to check it out too and it crashed also with that error

[vagrant dagger]

I've tried "dying" restarting, resetting pretty much everything, and verifying in Steam.

[fallow holly]

yeh then it gose to updating

[storm vine]

is there a way to save your game in game because mine crashes so much ive been reset to the same point 3 times (in solo)

[vagrant dagger]

not being able to access the right click menu sorta makes the game very difficult to play.

[torn aurora]

Anyone who has the issue of an update stuck on 2%, It is just a visual glitch the game is still updating in the background it is just not showing the progress, and the 70gb is not redownloading it is the game that you already have downloaded.

[grand lintel]

Been stuck on an infinite download loop since the update yesterday

[honest loom]

5126 ever come back up? been 12 hours

[grand lintel]

I will see going to leave my PC on over night

[wind trellis]

yo how do i fix the stuck at 2% downloading

[fallow holly]

it says 12h how dose not redownloding take 12h?

[torn aurora]

its a visual glitch its not actually going to take that long

[latent prawn]

how do you know?

[cold flax]

@carmine lance @true heron @unique sandal @naive grail
Please fix the connection time out issue, I haven’t been able to join any EU or NA servers for over 2 days

[torn aurora]

because it has happened to almost everyone else

[woven inlet]

@high onyx Post in correct channel and they wouldn’t keep deleting messages 🤷‍♀️ post here possibly.

[vagrant cloud]

WHERE is the QUEUE system they promised us @true heron

[latent prawn]

that doesnt rule it out as a visual glitch though, ive seen people saying it was like that for hours.

[fallow holly]

it says updating 70 gb hows that visual?

[hidden grove]

How does the game run rn? Better than launch after these optimization updates?

[plain stag]

They mentioned they wouldn't be adding that yet in the FAQ I believe

[wind trellis]

it validating when it does those little updates then gets stuck and wont validate anyone know a fix ?

[valid niche]

I have been running tests through NVIDIA Control panel and changing the custom settings one by one then launching from GEFORCE Experience ...I get a slightly different fatal error with each tick i move the custom settings along..so everything on low, all stuff set to off..different version of the FATAL error...EPIC..Different etc etc

[outer warren]

Can you just not pick up wild dinos with birds in ark ascension?

[heavy veldt]

0/10 the games not realistic because there’s not even a reproduction animation

changing to DX11 Fixes the crash but then the game runs way worse, any work around? i just wiped my OS and this crash started popping up? is it a missing driver maybe?

[summer forge]

9089 Been down for 26 Hours now

[scarlet terrace]

anyone else having the issue where your game crashes when exiting the smithy?

[opal ridge]

There are so many crashing reasons i think the devs are pulling their hair out sadly

[crude crest]

There is also no pipes for water plumbing 😂

[opal ridge]

I can't wait to be able to play 😦 halp i wanna record ark gameplay!

[tranquil lantern]

ok good glad I am not the only one with that issue LOL

[split tiger]

Case #36593 @cold flax has been muted for 2 hours.

think they removed it to give ppl reason to use water tanks lol

[feral birch]

anyone else have rocks and grass floating over most of the edges??

[valid niche]

Got Svartelheim working. Set everything to Low-ish in Geforce Panel. Launched from there. Got into game, set it all back to epic. Get 90 fps.

[crude crest]

That’s frustrating

[summer forge]

9089 Been down for 26 Hours now

[plush stratus]

I just did

[opal ridge]

well, my geforce pannel doesn't even think ASA is a game so idk why is my driver different than you guys, its most likely nvidia messing some shit up rather than wildcard, updating 30 and 40 series but missing out on 20 series gpus

[balmy tiger]

whats the ground clutter command?

[sonic inlet]

is there a super secret combo of buttens I haven't found to quick craft a tracked engram?

[valid niche]

Yeah I'm on a 4070. Was perfect all day yesterday untilt that Patch this morning started off theses errors for me

[grand ice]

9235 has been down for a hour are these servers from over seas like this shit is crazy ion rember ark 1 coming out this bad tbh lol

[lament terrace]

just a tip for anyone crashing as soon as they load into their island; drop everything in graphics down to Low because whatever Wildcard did upon loading assets is crashing the drivers

[opal ridge]

yeah i started getting errors since this morning's patch, prior to that it was only freeze hahah

[opal ridge]

sad that the patch caused more errors than it fixed, not sure if they are testing if what they did fixed something cus it doesn't look like it

[cunning nimbus]

Is there anywhere I can post images in relation to game problems... Ive got some system properties up trying to edit my paging file size, and while I know 16GB is the number mentioned for use, im not 100% sure where I should be putting it

[lament terrace]

obviously leave the area you're crashing while in the low settings and then return to the main menu after bumping it back up to whatever you normally use when it's safe

[valid niche]

Think i'm giving up for the night. Tomorrow is another day. I know my rig can handle this game. So gonna stop trying to self heal it and let 'them' sort it.

[torn acorn]

Do we have any idea what the difference between easy med and hard difficulties are on SP yet?

[iron kayak]

Are cryo pods in the game?!

[cunning nimbus]

There are mods for it

[cinder crest]

Nope

[opal ridge]

Oh yeah mine can too, its only a matter of something missing somewhere that when the engine tries to find it, it crashes

[safe hill]

Anyone still having issues with crashing on opening/closing/interacting with inventory? Thought I got it fixed by wiping Steam cache and reinstalling, but it started again as soon as I joined an online game. Didn't happen at all in single player, but now it happens in both online and offline.

[cunning nimbus]

thats fair... I suppose its probably smart to leave the fixing to the devs rather than go through my system setting trying to make a single game work lol

[warm kiln]

Anyone know why I keep disconnecting from unofficial/non dedicated servers?

[scarlet terrace]

mine only crashes when i open smithy then go to exit it

[crystal temple]

Is 535 ascended longneck with 83 shocking tranqs enough to knock out 140 r-giga?

[opal ridge]

I think i've tried every single possible thing i can do on my own and nothing seems to help, i can stand on a rock watching at the waves for 20 mins straight no crashes, the moment i turn around and look at the trees freeze haha

[wet tundra]

dododex

[crystal temple]

It doesn’t have weapon quality calculator

[cunning nimbus]

damn, including the paging file shnoz?

[wet tundra]

there is one

[bleak summit]

Same

[opal ridge]

Yee i upgraded page file size to 32gb from 16 doesn't help at all so it isn't that, there's something else, bet wildcard is trying to find it but its not going to be easy sadly

[jaunty bay]

Does anyone know how to remove the raft structure limit?

[wet tundra]

i just put it into dododex it says 40 is enough to knock it out... so if you don't miss and you are quick you should have more than enough darts

[opal ridge]

Should be possible in .ini files

[last cape]

How do we fix the lost/timedout connection to host? Everyone can get into my server except for me :(

[jaunty bay]

for ascended?

[icy vortex]

Hey guys, does anyone know why my nitrado server seems to have very low dino spawns?

[opal ridge]

You can try and lower your network memory bandwidth see if it helps

[opal ridge]

yeah there's a game.ini like in ASE

[last cape]

hmm I will try thank you

[cunning nimbus]

Aight... well, thanks for the help... even if it was just confirming I simply need to wait for more patches lol... ive just been terrified that its a problem with my computer despite thats its a pretty decent rig and a vast number of people are getting the problems...

I havent had any freezing issues, but just crashes when opening/closing/interacting with inventory ui's like someone else here said

[meager sorrel]

Yo how do u fix the 2% bug

[bleak summit]

At least we can idly watch those waves. New game mode

[last cape]

if you just wait it will eventually get unstuck and zoom

[latent prawn]

how long.

[icy vortex]

Hey guys, does anyone know why my nitrado server seems to have very low dino spawns? Any help appreciated. I got the server running with my configs ❤️

[meager sorrel]

Apparently its just a visual bug so it is doing stuff just not showing

[last cape]

^ this. Sadly you'll have to wait however long, for us like 10 or so minutes

[raven glen]

everytime theres a update it makes me reinstall the game is there a way to fix it

[frosty eagle]

i download it faster then waiting however long.

[raven glen]

it says 10 hours

[meager sorrel]

Mine just finished

[raven glen]

for me its patching and it takes 10 hours

[latent prawn]

how long did yours take

[meager sorrel]

took me like less than 10 min

[latent prawn]

i see, mine is 25 or so

[ionic creek]

how does one find Doedicurus?

i need to upgrade my 7900xtx to a 4090 for this game apperently dam

jackie, pal, i see you didnt get your issue resolved?

rip i hate games releasing unoptimized wasnt evolved like this day one aswell i wasnt there but

[summer forge]

We have reached a new historic server outage for ark and it was the server I chose to play on go figure 9089 has been down for 27 HOURS, 27 HOURS

[rustic nacelle]

nope, idk what to do about it

[barren harness]

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config

should be a crash report folder here

[grand comet]

from what ive heard yea it was the same but thats just how it is unfortunately, hopefully optimizations will fix it soon

[lunar edge]

your crash seems to revolve around the d3d thing. check the ASE guides on how to fix D3D that might work

[heavy sigil]

Ty sir, has anybody found a solution or cause of the device hung error? My 3080ti is not overheating and I turned off afterburner.

[barren harness]

honestly id say refund and wait my man

[fiery tide]

why can I not set harvest yeild multipler past 10? I set it to 50 it stays then when i load in it goes down to 10 every time everything else will stay at what I set it to

[ionic creek]

ok thx

[rustic nacelle]

too many hours to refund :/

[radiant mica]

i hope so man the game doesnt seem bad at all its just poor performance killing it for me rn might just go back to evolved lol

[rich ore]

-dx11 as a launch peramiter stopped me crashing im on a low end pc by rights i shouldnt be able to load the game at all but iv been working my way around it via the console commands going through them individually the issue is i dont know anything about any of this

why can I not set harvest yeild multipler past 10? I set it to 50 it stays then when i load in it goes down to 10 every time everything else will stay at what I set it to

Hi guys, does anyone know why my dino spawns are low on my nitrado server for ASA?

[jaunty bay]

anyone know where the .ini file with the raft setting is? i tried to find it but the only one i can find does not have any raft settings in it.

[rustic nacelle]

is there anyone i can go to for actual help and support? or is it just a SOL moment

[barren harness]

you could still submit a request, shot in the dark but who knows

@fiery tide most likely have to change somthing in the game.ini file

[rich ore]

my game will run if i foliage.CullAll 1 (visually removes all foliage) im after something that will isolate specifically trees to cull instead of everything anyone know one?

[barren harness]

there are other people in this chat who are better qualified than me but i think their asleep

[rustic nacelle]

how and when can i find them?

[heavy sigil]

Ok I found my crash report, it's that low level fatal error fence crash

[peak glade]

Anyone know how to fix the problem with Steem thinking there's not enough space for the ark update? It says it's only 350mb or so and I had plenty of space. I even just deleted a 71gb game and it still thinks it's not enough for this update :')

[barren harness]

just check back later, i dont specifically know

@heavy sigil post the report

[heavy sigil]

People are saying -dx11 both fixes it and doesnt fix it? Any clues?

[rustic nacelle]

do you think these issues will ever get fixed? or will they leave it to us to diy and fix it

[rich ore]

there seems to be some people who can and cant for example the fix i use for culling everything doesnt work for everyone else with the same command prompt its very confuseing

[grand sentinel]

offical servers are literally unplayable the amount of lag is off the charts

[icy vortex]

Hi guys, does anyone know why my dino spawns are low on my nitrado server for ASA?

[shell wave]

Steam downloads arnt optimized, if you don’t have enough space on your hard drive for a full install x2, chances are it will have a error, delete the game to make space and then re download, sucks but it’s a allocation bug that’s been around since gta launched

[quasi forge]

hey guys anyone know if the rhyniognatha is in ascended ? dont want get another heart attack while heading to the red woods

[rich ore]

try a wild dino wipe and see if it respawns higher ones ?

[icy vortex]

Not the levels, the levels are good, its the overall population. I have like 2 dinos per 500yards

[heavy sigil]

Yeah I downloaded the new nvdia driver + the latest ark patch and got like 0 performance boost I ended up just turning off the sky and it gave me 70fps or more.

[rich ore]

it is but i thinkthe spawns are low

[barren harness]

they'll most likely get fixed, games only been out a handful of days and a lot of things have been fixed. OF course theres a lot more but its got Early Access on the steam page for a reason

@icy vortex its most likely either a sever side setting or a server issues with dino spawns.

[peak glade]

Damn, that does suck... I'll see if I can't free up some more then, though I've already deleted a ton for asa in the first place. I'll try it though. I appreciate it!

[wheat sundial]

Any fix for the Fatal Error?

[icy vortex]

Do you know what setting I can change? Right now I can stand in the swamp without dying theres no dinos

[barren harness]

Over ride settings in nvidia control panel, can still get a lot out of it 16x anti and performance ambient occlusion included, amongst other things, force settings and it helps a lot with low settings in game

[sand moon]

[rich ore]

your lucky lol i have a gtx 960 i can play if i look at the ground when the trees rocks and bushes are enabled i get massive lag untill i dissable them lol 3 days of working solo on a fix for low end users :L

[barren harness]

do you own ther server? cause if so you should be able to change the server setting like any other

[jovial light]

Anyone know how the getalllocation command works in ark ascended? Its supposed to show you locations of whatever dino you put but it seems to only work on select dinos.

[heavy sigil]

The issue with UE5 is it literally does not care about low end to partial mid end pcs and dx12 is really unstable too. Division 2 with dx11 has zero crashes whilst dx12 makes it crash a lot and the devs hate coding with it

[tribal barn]

how do you add a password to a non dedicated server

[timber meteor]

why does respawning and first loading into a server make my character stutter as he moves

[icy vortex]

Yeah I do, I have the config files setup I just dont know what to enter/change to increase dino spawns. I tried adding DinoCountMultiplier=2.0 then killing all dinos but that did not help

[heavy sigil]

also -dx11 completely broke my pc when I tried to close the crash logger

[heavy sigil]

I get fine fps with just volumetrics off but the issue is the stupid low level device hung crash

[rich ore]

if u window the game not window full screen you can access your ctrl alt del function

[rocky shale]

In ASA I can’t run, help

[gusty jungle]

How do I fix a black screen on launch?

[fallow moon]

I hope you guys fix this I’ve built up 2 times and the severs just disappear 9084 and 9122

[unkempt breach]

why does my game uninstall every time i shut down my pc

[rich ore]

yea i cant really speak on that one as the -dx11 was the only one that worked for me, there was another string that was posted that the old players used to use for the old ark back in the day i dont have it atm but i tried that and it crashed my game untill i added the -dx11 on the end of the string

[heavy sigil]

-dx11 completely ruins my stuff, the crash logger just spams windows and locks up my pc

[misty aspen]

Is it possible to carry knocked dino to base in pve?

[rich ore]

[analog siren]

[rich ore]

[icy magnet]

Wtf is up with patch, why does this shit download so slow??

[barren harness]

patching the whole game

[pure comet]

@true heron @carmine lance I don't know if this is relevant, my tribemate on 5173 was playing the game, then their game crashed, and then the server crashed and rolled back and lost a level 55 character that has been on the server for the last 2 days. They were playing on the server today for around 6 hours, I'm letting you all know, not sure how or why their character was deleted, I thought I would mention this incase anyone else has a character randomly deleted out of nowhere.

[quiet summit]

anyone know why my supply drops no longer show the beacons?

[rich ore]

check the pinned messege might help with some more frames

[errant tide]

How do you add mods to your unofficial NOT PAID server on ASA

[gusty jungle]

Does anyone know how to fix a black screen on launch?

[jagged parcel]

Lol well definitely don't disable nanite...

[errant tide]

How do you add mods to your unofficial NOT PAID server on ASA

[barren harness]

@jagged parcel he returns

[jagged parcel]

Yeah been messing with all the settings I can find. From what I have been able to figure out, DynamicLighting is a HHHHHHUUUGGE culprit of frames lost

[wide galleon]

why is it patching the whole game

[jagged parcel]

It verifies all the files

[errant tide]

How do you add mods to your unofficial NOT PAID server on ASA (Please help)

[half condor]

Has anyone has an issue where the building UI options disappear??

[barren harness]

so disabling that would massively improve performance? might be the culprit behind certain crashes as well

[glacial kestrel]

Lasso's are the only way i remeber how too, you have to use a horse tho

[jagged parcel]

Also as fun sidenote, the opening video from the previous ark is in the installed files... good times.

[wheat sundial]

Game still crashes with the Pinned message fixes applied.

[barren harness]

post your crash report if you can

[tribal hull]

what was the solution to official servers not being avalible?

[glacial kestrel]

What map you on?

[storm vine]

is there a way to fix the tether distaxcne pls help

[ashen crest]

Whats a safe area to start on fjordur? I was thinking about transferring my items on crystal isles but decided to start from scratch (ASE because my pc sucks)

[thick loom]

Hey, I'm having issues with a self hosted server.

Was running fine, shut down to update, and now it's crashing on launch. Any idea on how to resolve??

[barren harness]

is it posting a report along with the crash?

fellas if your game is crashing repeatedly please copy the text off the report and keep it somewhere, having a copy of the crash report helps

[junior marlin]

This is meant to be the players helping players channel when it comes to Ark related issues, and not being able to share relevant screenshots make it very difficult to assist with things. And frankly having to constantly DM people with screenshots gets annoying and I hate to blow up people's DMs when a simple post of a screenshot here could suffice.

[thick loom]

Yeah, I can post it if that helps?

[unkempt raft]

im done with this game until the crashes are actually patched

[barren harness]

please
