Community Crunch 468: LiveOps Update, Arkpocalypse, and more!

Please take a look at stuttering introduced today, its almost unplayable for steam+nvidia players

I've been having problems with the ankylo auto harvesting with the rhynio. Sometimes it will hit the metal and other times it does nothing.

I'm having a lot of stuttering after the update, I played like 2 hours and haven't fixed itselves.

Same issue here, I have a 5070Ti and it's unplayable, even on low settings it stutters

Not sure what you broke in today's patch, but supposedly everyone in my tribe with NVIDIA GPUs are having issues with stuttering, bad FPS and bases load in super slow despite patch saying you made them load faster..

I am on Intel Arc B580 myself and not having any issues at all (which is strange as I usually have stutters) so you probably fixed something for everyone else, but broke it for NVIDIA users (again..) 

Do better..

Fixed Megalodon spawns in Labyrinth?? What about the whole rest of the map???

Same here.  On a 4090/i9-14900k/64gb ram and the stuttering is driving me crazy.

Same for 4070 , Ryzen7 5700X / 32 GB  Ram .....just tried it a few minutes ago can barely walk around in base with-out feeling like going through a constant server save the way it stutters around. Everything worked pretty well up until the patch as far as gameplay / fps wise.

Same card, 5070Ti and really bad stuttering problem since todays update.

Anyone else notice that the hand holding the gun has the thumb on the wrong side and seems a bit awkward. Using AI instead. Sad really. But I am sure no one will notice it.

A couple of things 

1 if you can put a Dino door frame or behemoth frame in should you be able to put the door in as well?

2 why can’t we clip in Dino frames and behemoth frames partially into cliffs rocks etc to seal off our bases

3 megaladons spawns on Ragnarok are ridiculously insane please fix ty 

4 im curious to the reasoning behind the lack of GMs not resolving the issues with people blocking resource caves on PVE or foundation spamming 

 

PLEEEAAAASSSEEE get rid of the cursor on consoles for MnK players. Bring the ASE cursor back, i beg you. Its horrible and lags with the game, ASE cursor did NOT lag when the game/UI lagged. 

Awesome set of fixes, lots of good stuff in there. Any word on a fix for people getting kicked from their tribes on Astraeos? We're going to lose everything we have. Help!

👍fixes 

👎everything else

What you don’t like 50 megs spawn out no where. Free meat 

I play on Xbox and any dino that is supposed to have a baby either doesn't and is just lagging in place or if it has one they don't show their level and are immortal. And the phiomia is just leaving a trail of poop everywhere.

? The thumbs for both hands are on the correct sides and are not awkward. At first glance I thought the cover picture was AI too, so I took a closer look and discovered it was not. Also, if you didn’t notice, the cover for today’s CC was not made by WildCard. It was made by a fan (SirDrip) and is showcased in the community spotlight. It’s a special fan-art spotlight.

Doing Nvidia update corrected the stuttering problem for me.

• Fixed Oasisaur dropping bag on restart

With this fix my oasisaur no longer drops resource packs on localhost singleplayer

You should go to Specsavers mate because the thumb is in the natural position, it doesn't look awkward because the hand is sitting up right holding the handle, the thumb is exactly where it is meant to be.

As for it being AI that is laughable.

i wish they did some sort of the same method for dunky to harvest metal underwater. This is unfair surface harvest have these methods but underwater harvest never had this option since ark started. Only one dino harvest option for underwater harvest. 

Please add a magical glitter particle cloud OR glow to the drakelings. They need to be just a little more magical lmao. Please, am actually begging. 

Um there is seriously way way to many megalodon in the oceans on rag atleast, add in the large agro range you can have 50 to 70 on you. Not even joking plus the meshing problems and they come out of the ground. Do something reduce agro and/or spawn rate. Guarantee close to minimum 600 active spawns on the map. 

The ingame chat system is very bugged please can yall fix this in the next patch thank you .
