Xenithar Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 OK, the last time I tried P+ was before release. I had a slower PC and it took like ten minutes to get into a game. So today I decided to try it again. This rig has a RAID0 array consisting of two WD 1TB Black drives (single platter, not multi) which can get me from clicking the Ark icon to being in a server in under a minute. It still takes almost ten minutes, really? That aside, I have an issue. I do not use BE due to how insanely invasive it is. I start Ark with the "No BattlEye, Unofficial Only" option and play fine day to day. So I activate P+, restart Ark, select The Center as my map, and try to host a non-dedicated session for a friend and I. I sit for about ten minutes, then it exits to the desktop demanding I install BE. What the literal hell? I can play all six maps without BE, so why the hell is P+ trying to force this pile of crap on me? Am I missing an option somewhere? Are the startup parameters not enough? Should I get out HxD and start dissecting the executable and looking for ways to force BE off there? How do I play P+ without BE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenithar Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 OK, I tried playing single player. After a nice, long, ten minute wait, the game exited and asked me to install BE. Seriously. I need BE to play alone, all by myself, in single player mode? Are you kidding me? Who was hitting the crack pipe when they decided that to load P+ you needed BE installed?

Graviphoton Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 There is option for starting game without BE. Just start from Steam it will ask you how to start game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenithar Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 I know that. As I stated in my original post, I tried that. P+ will ALWAYS restart the game in an attempt to get me to use BE. Does not matter what I do, or what map I try playing. P+ is broken right now, as it has been since it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
