Jamadais Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Flyer bug since last update - Can't mount ptera Hi all. My partner and I play our own private server (Nitrado). Since the last update a few days ago, we have not been able to mount pteranodons. It gives us the option to "Ride" when looking at it, and also when you hold down the button for the menu, it also gives option to Ride, but when selected, nothing happens. Here's what my investigations into the issue have shown: - We can ride other tames perfectly fine. - The issue affects multiple pteranodons (all that we've tried) - I've led pteras away from base location into wilderniss and attempted to ride it there (our spot not near any caves) - Issue occurs on both XBOX and PC Crossplay - Issue affects both of us (neither of us can ride) - Issue does not affect me if I just play single player locally (ie I can ride fine) (I don't play any official servers to test this out elsewhere) And before you ask - This is not an encumbrance issue; we can't even mount the tame - No, not in or near a cave entrance - And yes it worked before the update I've searched to see if there is some setting for disabling mounting flyers, but can only find threads about disabling engrams for saddles or removing flyers from the game completely. Perhaps this is a new setting in the latest update that happened to be switched off on my server? Unsure. Any ideas/help you have are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamadais Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Oh sorry, one more thing to add; its not just "Ride"; if the ptera does not have a saddle, then normally it would be " [E] : (Equip Saddle to Ride " and you could press E (or Y on XBOX) to access inventory. This also does not work, so its almost as though the "current default behaviour" for the ptera won't work regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornak Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Excellent description. Same problem here. Also, Flyers work on locally hosted Island map, but not on Nitrado Valguero, for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLawrence386 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Same thing for my server. Would be great if there was any news on when this will be fixed. Or it it’s a Ark issue or Nitrado issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamadais Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Oh wow I didn't expect it to affect anyone else; good to know. My nitrado server is running "The Island" and is just standard "Ark Survival Evolved"; no DLC or mods or anything. I have also tried server reboots.

Jamadais Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Please ensure you have logged tickets to Nitrado for your issues, as I have. The more people who do, the more they will realise its a wide issue, and they will engage with Ark dev to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ni7hhogg Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Yes I have this problem on my server, managed with ASM ... on The Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ni7hhogg Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 FOUND IT OK I use ASM - in a atiny, obscure corner under the Dinos section of the settings there is a little box that says "Enable Flyer Riding" Check that. If you don't use ASM then basically what this does is write a script in ...maybe the .gameusersettings doc: ---=> bForceCanRideFliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamadais Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 You solved it! This worked for me too. It seems that the new mod genesis has that new setting: > bForceCanRideFliers Mine was unchecked for some reason. I suspect this might be the fault of Nitrado when upgrading the config for the new mod. They have it as an option under Genesis in the server settings. But seems to apply to my server which is not Genesis. Thanks ni7hhogg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImaHurtchu Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Same problem even in SINGLE player. NO MODS. Crystal Isles map Pteradon won't GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImaHurtchu Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Today's "update" did nothing to fix this. Still cannot move Pteradon or Triceratops and plants continue to grow through Stone Foundation in my house. Bring weedkiller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehuhoser Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 did you add what fixed it above, its not due to an update, its due to a new server configuration that allows flyers to be ridable, WC imho should have created the opposite setting that way it would not affect other servers etc. Ever since Genesis was added, it forced all other maps to use the setting to allow riding flyers.

ImaHurtchu Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 server update for single player - SOLO? Have not found ANYTHING different nor changed any settings for LOCAL SINGLE PLAYER. Still cannot use mounts or flyers. So how do we level them now they are useless? There is no ASM for local single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this exact problem when I went to crystal isles on single player and did a force tame {givetome} command on a petra......However the weird thing about this was that I could not even open the inventory of the ptera. I think I tried to do the same to a griffen and same result. Could not open inventory, could not mount. o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
