    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 heard they nerfed all the Dino's or did they boost some but nerf other's. Idc if they need the giganotosaurus but plz stop nerfing most of the other Dino's the last nerf made it so difficult and I just prime tamed a 120 rex. hate to make it sound like a complaint though just voicing thoughts. downloading new Xbox update now. also if we could add a feature the PC has could we plz plz plz be able to paint Dino's? :) I would love you devs forever. and when does the titanosaur release? :) idk just thought I'd say this since it seems no one else is. thanks ark devs for making my childhood dream game come true you guys are awesome.

    Launching another game and exiting, or testing my connection usually aids me

    So for everyone that is complaining. I will give you the UI bug that happened that's the only problem. When it was released. The symbol ~ means about that time. and 2 days after is about the 10th. The demitrodon galiminus and bettle along with beer are in the game now as well. So they did add everything the said they would. Instead of being a greedy gamer understand that business sometimes means you have to wait. When you put the sticks down and program your self on top of already existing programming code you run into problems. So Ill say like I have before Ark Developers keep delivering the gamers that will be dedicated to the full product and play through the rough a good game. Instead of people complaining why do you not donate to the cause. I mean I haven't but you don't see me complaining about the game. You are probably a PvE or an Unofficial Server player which hate to know on you guys but you are casual players and not hardcore players like PvP players. We take what we have and build what we need to enjoy game. If they didn't add the alliance for tribes and the terror bird I would still be happy because my tribe has 8 megalodons and that is just a fun time in the sea. So give suggestions instead of complaining. I am not afraid to get banned from forums just to troll the complainers. If you have a problem go play Call of Duty. Oh wait you will run into the same problem but 100x worse. So scrubs put the controller down and go outside. You probably complain about meteorologist when they are wrong about the weather. I personally think if you complain about the devs on their forums that are meant for suggestions not griping at them you should be kicked off the forums due to you are not a good game tester. Be glad you get to test the game on console before it comes out. Peace out scrubby complainers.

    I have but one question, is the problem with disappearing dinos (mainly quetzals) still a thing? If anyone could tell me for sure i'd appreciate it very much, dunno if i'm just being blind or something and oversee them.

    Hi there, love this game. I don't seem to have UI issue but I can't figure single player split screen. I was able to fire up second controller and select a different player but then nothing else happened, just back to first player full screen. Same in non dedicated local.  Any hints?

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

    Well everyone's entitled to an opinion, but it's pretty clear to me that this is game-breaking. A visible health meter is a pretty fundamental part of nearly any game for a reason. Looking forward to the patch.

    problems with ur ui or hud can be fixed by changeing the size/shape/zoom of ur tv screen using ur tv remote. has any one figured out splitscreen yet im in a dedicated server i host myself and cant seem to get it to work i have yet to try it in single player or non dedicated but thats not wat the update stated it stated splitscreen singleplayer and online?
