Aylana314159 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 It's not Halloween its Easter. All other events have been removed to reduce space. Did you do a wild dino wipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenithar Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 That doesn't make sense. If an admin can run any event at any time with a parameter, the event should work. What good is giving us a light switch if the power is not turned on to the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinobros2000 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It is no longer a feature they probably haven’t updated the wiki yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenithar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Actually the command-line switches are still in the executable. Disassemble it and see. So again, if the commands are there, what is going on? Also, they did not remove things to "save space" on a game which is over 200GB. That's like throwing a box of tissue paper out of your pickup to "save weight". They removed the creatures claiming that the event creatures and candies were consuming massive resources. The thing is, before and after we noticed a 1% difference in CPU usage. My guess is that running Ark on the official servers using a damn Pentium 2 is likely the cause, and removing a dino is a band-aid. Upgrading to a modern Xeon or Threadripper would probably have fixed their issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the issue was more client-side memory (especially for console players) where they had to pre-load all the assets in case they join a server that enable any of the event, or an admin spawn them in, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenithar Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 So disable them on builds for systems which suck and are dated, not on systems with thousands of dollars of hardware in them. I don't like being punished because some kid bought a $300 Walmart special laptop and cannot play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blowbie Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 i asked Nitrado about this and this is a copy an paste of what they said Sadly, since the last couple of updates, Wildcard removed some (if not all) event files. We don't know if they are going to be back, or if they are doing so at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
