    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!

    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

    I can't make split screen work for online games; it only is working for local play for me. We typically play on our own (player) dedicated server and when we connect to it, pressing start on the second account does not start splitscreen (but it works fine in local). Am I doing something wrong?

    And where are the grappleing hooks

    >:\

     

    grappling hooks will be in the next major update. They were part of PC's 235 update so they didn't make it into this patch unfortunately. :)

    Awesome that we get these guys! Has the spawns on single player been fixed yet though cant find bats strangely enough i have seen a few spiders in hunter cave though. Also please add SOTF i love it on PC  but i tend to kose in last couple mins cus my comp struggles to run ark on low in spikes so i end up shooting at nithing and unfreeze dead, plus with the xbox communication and live party making abilities death match would be soo much better. Also if possible can we get mods like the extra maps that are available on PC version like as DLC or something?

    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!***

    ^yes. Do people not remember how to be grateful even through mild disappointment? Yes there is problems, but you bought an early access game! I figured if I'm not falling through the world every ten seconds everything is awesome! People please remember we are adults, the people making this game are adults they will fix everything when the game is fully out...right now we could all be helpful and report our problems, while being respectful.

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

    Game-breaking UI bug? "Game-breaking" may be a bit of a stretch

    My hud is messed up. I can't see all my vitals and the item slot is too low so I can't see anything

    Jesus Christ, I mean the update looks really good, but the game is unplayable with this UI scale problem. Please get this fixed ASAP...

    Servers are broken. Every time I join it says server full then says joining failed then says connection timed out when there's only 56/70 people in the server. Please fix quickly we wanna play 

    Was just getting ready to post about this issue until I read you had it. I'm so glad it wasn't just me. I'm having the exact same problem with the game. I've tried multiple servers, even ones I've never played on and I still get the same error. I hope this gets worked out soon!

    I can deal with the fact that my recently tamed quetz was deleted. That's not that big of a deal. All I want to know is when the next patch will be out that will fix the HUD
