Volunteer Moderator Joebl0w13 Posted October 26, 2020 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted October 26, 2020 Pro tip. When you jump off the bird and it starts to slowly walk away. Right in front of you, inexplicably. Jump back on and then off again. Problem solved. Because, Ark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I land at base with a truckload of metal, and my argy just peaces out. I do stop all and he stops momentarily, but then resumes wandering off.

caleb68 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 it happens with any flyer. It doesn't matter if you dismount too fast or sit on the flyer for 5 minutes before dismounting. There is no rhyme or reason for this happening. When it first started with Argies only I reported it. I got told that it must be my ark bugged (even though i was only playing official at the time) Sense then its moved to wyvern, then ptera, then griffon, snow owls, and now far as i can tell, its happening with every flyer. (don't know about mana, i refuse to fly them as they like to go POOF out of existance still on official). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Used2loveAb Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I had this happen to me a lot with my Griffin and also on a Rock Drake. I found a sort of fix, well it hasn't happened since I started doing it at least .. I thought perhaps the movement logic was 'recurring' due to unnoticeable game lag (like things loading, whatever), so I started to push my controller to the left/right after landing, thinking that if it was something to do with the controls this might give me some indication. Anyhow, cut a long story short, it stopped doing it after I do this each time. I'm not saying the movement thing is the cause of this happening, I just know that after doing this it stopped doing it. To summarise, every time you land, push left or right before you dismount. I actually do this automatically now, without thinking about it. I'm aware that this 'fix' may not be doing anything, and the fact that my mounts are no longer walking after I dismount may just be a coincidence, so I'd love to know if this helps others who experience the issue, or even if it made no difference to them at all.. either way, Good luck with it, all, it can be super annoying, especially on the surface of Ab, or in a Drake/Wyvern nest ..

Since this happens, I've made an opening where I can land my Argy in the base so even if it wanders it can't go outside the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shefski55555 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Yep, gonna just add myself to this list, had it happen with wyverns argues and Griffins at least, the worst is when I land them at base go inside, do some crafting and they just disappear because they've run into the forest or off a cliff it something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb68 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 also noted - it doesn't matter if you leave the flyer inside a building, you can be offline, come back online, and your flyer will be gone, they've randomly decided to walk off as someone flew past your base, but apparenlty when your offline they can walk through walls if no ones within building render range. after that, if your lucky you may find your flyer off in the direction it was facing if some cliff / rocks didn't cause the flyers direction to change. We have also noted that tamed wyvern are starting to do what wild wyvern will do when they decide to wander off on their own, turning direction northward and just vanishing out of existance after a bit.

Oieru Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I found that having a leash around them blocks their movement. They will remain at the edge of the leash' active area. Lost my main healing owl like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namewasstolenstresslevel Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 None of my pets walk away and some of them are even set to wander but my base is surrounded by walls and i have eletronic leash.... The leash should overide any bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time my mother flipping argy walked away from my forge every time I landed near there for like 10 flipping minutes, felt like half an hour but honestly the frustration factor can make your sense of time very bad.... I honestly started to believe a hacker was trolling me. Eventually I allowed it to wander way the hell away and went and got a different argy to xfer the metal from the first bird and bring it to the forge. I about also went and got a shot gun. Seriously a "that dog won't hunt" type of moment... tho it was my highest weight argy so I spared him. The next days metal run, I used the problematic argy, but it went with out a hitch. It's a very strangely intermittent bug. Hmmm maybe some of the bugs in this game ARE due to hackers? How else to explain the unpredictability of some of arks behaviours?

Ariad Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I jump off the Argy, Griff, Wyv, Q, Owl, Mana, it starts walking away, jump on , back it up (doesn't work on all flyers ofc but does to stop them from walking) jump off and they sit still. Been using that since shortly after beta when it started. Still works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryManson Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 yeeah most flyers do that... even when parked & you log off, when you come back they might have walked away while you where offline -.- VERY annoying ! it helps to walk wyv & Owls backward after landing! but not always 🙄 PS: knowing @StudioWildcard it will take them atleast a year to fix this! soooo get used to it!

Morikar Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Bro its not just Argys. Its alot of Dinos. Bloodstalker. Rockdrakes Wyverns. Coding is screwed up for over a year now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjskdjkfa Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I had a wyvern recently that was like glitched halfway into my base and could barely move, after getting it out it seemed antsy, always walking away etc. I wonder if there was some kind of delayed reaction like the thing kept trying to move out of my base, but was stuck so once I finally freed it it started applying days old movements? Anyways it eventually went on a walk and disappeared for like nearly a week, and I was about to give up on finding it. Actually accidentally found it running through a group of trees for a different reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... well yes, but you're kinda telling everyone to cryo every dino as a prophylactic to a rather rare glitch. Although in retrospect my problem wyvern (mentioned in my last comment) did seem to be acting weird, and maybe I could have cryoed it, the last time I saw him before he took off he wasn't moving at all. Once I got him back I definitely cryoed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For rarity I'm talking about them totally seemingly disappearing while you're logged out, but they've gone on such a big walk you can't find them. Wyverns are particluarly bad about this so bad that I've actually lost a few for good (they auto decayed before I could search the whole map). Also due to the randomness it wouldn't surprise me if you were getting hit harder than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHunter Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The problem manifests itself precisely at the moment when player logoff And dino can continue to move up to 15 minutes after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
