  • ARK Xbox v731: Split-screen, Dimetrodon, Dung Beetle, Gallimimus & more!

    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

    I have zero problems with the idea that this is an in development game. I allow for the lag and stuttering visuals, the bs deaths brought by those and worse... But I am not willing to excuse the laziness of the lack of forewarning when you are shutting down servers for updates! Please PLEASE warn us. Have a warning run through all chats 5 or 10 minutes before the shutdown. It would solve a lot of problems like this.

    This update is f**king sh*t! You guys didn't even add the new dinos! Either you did add them and you're ABSOLUTE IDIOTS and made them nearly IMPOSSIBLE to fricking find, or you didn't add them at all. Just please fix this, really disappointed in the update );

    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.

    I am also not seeing a difference in server options. Still standard sliders

    Y'all gotta chill out. They said hopefully the 10th so it wasn't concrete. However I am too experiencing the loss of the right side of my screen. Hopefully you guys can patch this soon. and one more thing. GIVE US GRAPPLING HOOKS OR GIVE US DEATH!! That is all.

    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.

     

    Agree with mrsnowfoxy, They said the patch was going to be delayed and did not keep us updated at all, hence the hundreds of posts from members asking (when is it coming) that is laziness,

    If you play Single player will split screen still be available?

    First you have to go into Your singleplayer world then connect the second controller then press start log in to a gamer profile then press start again. Yes split screen is still available in single player. Hope this helped

    Hi iwas just as frustrated, the bring splitscreen out and dont give instructions,

    Go in to your own multiplayer session, once you've started the game up turn the 2nd controller on and press start. assuming you have a profile for the person who is playing with you,if not just create one,

    Lol now that split screen is figured out, can we address why my server settings didn't change like they were supposed to. I still have the 0 to 6 slider and my crafting is making 2 of everything.

    Anyone else getting this 'lost connection to host issue"? I can connect to other official servers but not my usual official server. Tried everything and it seems only a server reboot will fix the problem.
