  • Community Crunch 157: Console Extinction Release & Stream Info!

    large.extinction_small.jpg

    Extinction Server Information - Console!

    ARK: Extinction will be launching tomorrow on November 13th at 10am PST on Xbox and PS4! We are expecting the Xbox download to be approximately 20gb download for the base game and 9gb for expansion pack. We do not currently have a PS4 estimate, but they are typically quite a bit smaller than Xbox patch sizes.

    On launch you'll be able to transfer your existing character from your current server into Extinction. You will not be able to transfer items or tames. You can however transfer characters, items, and tames out of Extinction onto other maps. If you were around for the release of Scorched Earth or Aberration this is the exact same process those servers underwent. 

    There are no disabled engrams in Extinction like there was at Aberration's launch, meaning things such as Tek Teleporters are allowed. Creatures like flyers are also enabled on Extinction.

    We will be releasing an initial start batch of servers, and bringing more servers online as needed so please be patient for us during this period. The servers will be the standard 70-player cap. Extinction will be included in all CrossARK clusters (except 'TheHundred'), as well as Small Tribes servers. Extinction will not be supported in Primitive Plus on launch, but it is something we will consider looking into at a later date. Extinction will also not have NoTek/NTek-NoTaming, Primitive, or TheHundred servers for those currently playing on those subsets of gamemodes. The legacy network will get a few servers, however they will be in small supply. 

    Stay tuned to our Twitter account for the most up-to-date information on Extinction official servers going live, but they will start to be available around the time the expansion pack is available for download. Please be aware that PS4 will go online first, with Xbox following closely after.

    Important note: PS4 single-player will launch with an element vein bug that can cause structures to be removed when built in the area of a vein. This is planned to be patched out on Wednesday. Other modes/consoles will not be affected. Console and PS4 build remain one week behind PC, which means they will not launch with any changes that were made in v286.103. The Windows 10 version may be slightly delayed, but we will provide further info on that as we have it.

    Extinction Launch Day Stream!

    Modding Community Updates!

    Hello modders, I just wanted to give a heads up that it will be a while before a new devkit update is ready. Because of this some of you may be experiencing issues with your mods including crashes. Some of the core class code has had some changes that could be resulting in mismatches to cause these errors. My recommendation is to disconnect any code that is causing issues until the devkit update is ready.

    I also have a new modding tutorial ready for you today. We're going to cover the setup of our structures and getting them to be something physically in the game. You can check it out below!

    why is everyone being negative problem here problem there, WE ARE GETTING EXTINCTION. Lets have some fun and just deal with the problems they will fix them soon.

    Thing is, there are a lot of major problems that will affect extinction like the glitch where you lose your character, skins, and notes that you spent hours collecting.

    Well the thing is if they ran their tests and maybe opened a beta run they could have fixed all of this before they released it and they wouldn't have had to attempt to release it on console a week later with nothing still fixed. (ahh to be able to do nothing at work and get paid for it) Anyways there are many ways they could have played this and refused to.

    Well, downloaded the DLC, but not showing up in the game.  Guess I have to wait for the core game to update.  Waiting to play.... Again.

    Can't find the expansion on the Xbox store but my partner has been able to find it with his season pass. Please don't tell me I need the pass because I didn't for Aberration...
