Your client needs to be updated, so that you can access the Genesis items, tames, etc. on other maps through admin/trading.

You only buy Genesis to access the map. All creatures, Items, and other additions are added straight to Ark so that you can still interact with them properly. If they didn't do this, you'd be stuck playing with others who don't have the DLC. Same would go for Scorched, Aberration, and Extinction.

Basically the whole game and all it's files got replaced. Including all texture files. ( Don't know why that was necessary ) That's why the download was so big. When I ran my backup tonight ( that only copies files that have changed ) it backed up the whole 120gb+ files of Ark. So everything got changed for some reason. Even your ini files was wiped and replaced. ( I had to redo all of mine ). The update did not just add the new assets , but replaced all previous files as well. Why ????? I dunno.
And while on the topic of textures , the game looks way worse now than before the update. Same settings as before with way worse textures now. It's the first thing I immediately saw when I started my Island map.
