Cuzzy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Linux version of ARK does not work, i mean like when i run ark it crashes instantly since december 2018. For first i thought that is just bad pc but i asked community and most of them said "ark should run 100%". Please devs.. I know that there are more windows users than linux users, but.. I paid the same money!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deozvx Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I too payed the same money. Please make the game work on Linux, or at least refund is the money we paid for a Linux game. You aren't forced to support Linux, you chose to sell your product that way. Does that seem ethical to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaprosuchus Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 as a linux user i agree 100% but i don't know how it would be feasible for them to determine who does and does not get a refund. i play ark on my linux PC and my windows laptop, and alot of people have played thousands of hours, and i din't think refunds would be fair to the company if you have played their product that much.

Aikar Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 My brother has been playing on linux as of recent still? so it's not broken for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deozvx Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I play on ubuntu 18.04, which is steam supported afaik. I'm just asking to be able to use what I payed for. If I brought my car to a garage to get a headlight fixed and it didn't run when I came to pick it up, I would most certainly demand my money back. This feels like the same thing to me. I can't get a steam refund because I have 4 hours on record. Steam limit is 2. It worked in november when I bought it. Just give me that version. Give me support or refund. The new update hard freezes my machine instead of just not joining. Never had this much trouble with any native game, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyArk Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Linux client was working on my Arc Linux box but the last patch broke it, click 'Play Ark' in the menu and ... nothing. Have to alt-tab out and kill the client to get it to stop now. Would be nice to play Ark again, had a ton of fun until the patch hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana314159 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 WC should work getting the Windows version fully compatible with Steam's Proton. At this point that would make the most sense for WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyArk Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Fix Linux Client that last patch broke Linux client locks up after last patch when you click Join Ark or Host, clicking options, credits etc works normally. Here is the output from starting the game via command line if this helps. $ ./ShooterGame Using binned. 4.5.1-0+UE4 7038 3077 404 10 Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110 Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID: Caching Steam ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [API loaded no] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana314159 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 You should probably change this from just a bug fix. To a suggestion to give the linux community more love/attention/respect etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyArk Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Tried that but the after I submitted the bug report it came back with no response and an empty page so I've no idea if it worked or not. Maybe the bug report page is buggy? I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point that would make the most sense for WC. That would be the better option but pulling linux support completely and focusing on the windows version would actually cost WC more money at this point because of how valve reacts to pulling platform support. it's alot easier to just not support it fully for them.

Tribalcorns Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Is this still broken or no? I'm in the process of installing Proton/Valve software from github so that I can play Ark on the latest version of Ubuntu. As it is right now I had steam installed and when I try to open Ark it plays the music to start up but nothing ever shows up on the screen. Then the music shuts off after around 5 seconds. Steam still shows up running but the game is clearly not on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
