    Hey Survivors!

    We’re very excited to announce that the patch is now live! This will bring a heavy update to the Xbox One, including a plethora of content and mega optimization! The ARK will be joined by 3 new friends, many new items and of course the exciting multiplayer functionality, split-screen! We know this has been a highly requested feature from players and we're stoked to allow you guys to unravel the mysteries of the ARK side by side with your friends and families!

    large.Dimetrodon.jpg.b43c16a84c18875c3cb

    Say hello to the adaptable carnivore! The Dimetrodon offers players shade during excessive heat and shelter from extreme cold by way of the massive insulating sail running down its back. It’s regarded as one of the friendly creatures to survivors and can be found roaming the swamplands that are plentiful with small prey.

    The Dung Beetle is a wondrous organic biofactory that eats excrement and other useless waste to then metabolize and produce burnable oil that can power generators and fertilize crops! Regarded as the perfect tame for cleaning up around the tribe’s dino-pen.

    large.Gallimimus.jpg.b8463f51b1e38786b4b

    It’ll come as no surprise to survivors that the Gallimimus has been often been described as being chicken-like, with it’s extremely skittish behaviour, looking nervous even when eating! The speedy herbivore makes its way onto the ARK with no natural way to defend itself except for running away. Thankfully the Gallimimus may very well be the fastest dinosaur on the ARK, it's strength, endurance, and speed of its legs allow it to ferry up to 3 Survivors in a specially-designed Saddle!

    Today’s update adds an enormous amount of content and optimization, including:

    • SWAT-style Assault Armor for all your raiding needs!
    • Greenhouse structure pieces to aid survivors in growing crops
    • The shockingly powerful Electric Prod easily capable of knocking you out.
    • Deep-Sea Loot Crates: swim into the deep and discover the highly valuable loot that exists below
    • Craftable Beer Kegs for making tasty brews, with various status enhancing effects, however the subsequent ‘hangover’ effects are not so pleasant!
    • Loads of bug fixes, serious performance update (~15%), fixed memory leak
    • Non-dedicated servers now support up to Eight survivors and 33% larger tether distance

    Why are people complaining that this update was two days late? It said ~February 10, do you people know that squiggly means 'around' right? And it DID release around February 10th.

    Also stop complaining about the update because I don't think you would be complaining if you knew how hard it is to program a game for a different platform and style than usual. They said around Feb 10

    How about the game-breaking UI bug? Are we allowed to complain about that? Smh...

    Just updated and currently playing and having issues with my UI scale, cannot see the right side, which consist of the exp bar, stamina, health etc.. Have tried messing with the settings in game and on tv and none of it has worked. Playing with a friend and his game is fine. just curious to those who are having the same issue, what brand of TV you are using?

    I'm sure the REASON is that the game isn't released yet. We're paying to test the game. Plain and simple. You know all those juicy alpha builds people want in on? Well... this is it.  Instead of criticizing a game that's not done, how about offering a constructive bug report? That way devs can see what the update broke. Just an idea.

    Yes. :)That's a valuable asset in this game and devs need to know these things. However, by NOT commenting on the issue in the "bugs" topic thread, the devs may not read this complaint.

    I don't think the update is finished guys, it says the update is complete but as far as I can tell no servers are available and the Xbox is still reading v730.1 even though when you search servers it says v731.0 I'm taking a long shot guess that the update is hopefully still big optimized and the update will finish shortly. If this issue is persistent I would recommend re-downloading the game tomorrow after we give the dev a chance to finish .

    I've read the patch notes and curious if the PC server options have actually made it into the update since I've spent an hour trying to find out.

    Hopefully the gun wasn't pointed at you... that's never the proper side of a gun to be on.  Try posting about it in the "bugs and glitches" forum and see if anyone else is experiencing this same issue. :)

    I find it absolutely fascinating how people will find anything to complain about. It doesn't matter what you were doing when the patch was released. It doesn't matter how late the patch was released, or what they decided to include and exclude in it. Changes are it all will get deleted when the actual game comes out. Just in case any of you have forgotten.. this is still a pre-release. Not a full fledged game, even though it sure feels like it with as amazing of a job as these guys are doing. Just wanted to give a friendly reminder to that fact. You may continue the complaining.

     

    Thank you guys for making such and amazing ***pre-release!***

    I don't know if you understand me, There is a clear cut difference between bugs, and laziness bugs are gui errors, laziness is when they leave out features the promised would come.

     

    Laziness is probably best reserves for after a game hits full release. Time and effort must be put into developing a title and what a company hopes to achieve in a certain time frame BEFORE a full release is still an acceptable delay in content. DESTINY had the same problem but far worse as NOTHING that was promised was EVER released after the full release of the game. 

    Since ARK is still in PRE-ALPHA stage there really is nothing to complain about since any estimates made before a game releases is part of an unfinished product.

    Patch is looking good, looking forward to the UI fix, and I can't wait to craft beer. Any chance of maybe adding an option in a future update to let us be able to move a structure we've maybe accidentally placed? Behemoth are pretty expensive and an accidental placement can be disheartening. Just an idea
