Can't run any free DLC map (Linux/Steam)


I own steam version of Ark for years, and i previously had no problem joining or hosting games with any map

Since my last install, when i try to launch a game (hosting a singleplayer, or joining a server) on any free DLC map, the game show me the download page from the store, even if the map is checked in DLC configuration for Ark

I have no problem hosting or joining a The Island game

I tried unchecking the DLC in list, which triggered a 0 bytes download, then re-check it, triggering a normal map download i think (sizes from ~800 Mo for The Center to 2.1 Go for Crystal Isles), the game still shows me the store page when i launch a game

I tried reinstalling the game, even on another hard drive, still the same

I also tried installing a map directly from the store (as found as a workaround on the net), the game launches but no download is triggered

I searched for hours on the net, but no solution is working

Has anyone a solution i should try ?

Thanks in advance

Yeah on Linux you can only play the Island map right now. All the other maps crash, sometimes with this report:

Report end!

 

most times it crashes without any report.

Posted a bug report two weeks ago, no reaction yet.

But hey: the last three updates the Linux version didn't even launch at all for at least a week, so I'm glad to at least  be able to play on the Island. So be happy and play on the Island, and hope today's update won't break the game.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem on Debian 9, from time to time i get a crash, and maps for dlcs i own, just brought me to strore page, also the menu dialog is quite unusable right after installation, its not getting refreshed and "installing 2 mods" message is in bottom right corner of server browser. If any dev is willing to resolve this issue, i can provide any debug information (logs, memory dumps) to reproduce the problem. (s2@marsal.xyz)

Where the hell is the developer?!? This is insane. Do you read what the user experience is like for your product?

Okay, I tried it and it is appearing to work in single-player.

Note that the instruction for "moving everything" means to overwrite any files in "ShooterGame.app/Contents/UE4/ShooterGame" on the existing files in the "ShooterGame" directory, not wipe out the files in the "ShooterGame" directory and then move the files over, as I just did.  The files in "ShooterGame.app/Contents/UE4/ShooterGame" are just augments and updates.

I have updated and restarted my local network game and am waiting for it to appear on the list.  Fingers crossed.

You can work around this bug by moving everything from directory


ShooterGame.app/Contents/UE4/ShooterGame

into


ShooterGame

directory

 

Bug reports on Steam (Linux thread) is full of this info

Hey, this works ! Thank you very much !

I didn't found this bug report, should anyone post a link to it please ?

What a pitty to see such a simple problem wasting so many people's time and hope in WC, and not even taken in account by devs. I'm sure it's a matter of minutes to solve the problem on their side ...

Just reinstalled yesterday, does this still work for anyone? Because I don't have the 'Shootergame.app' in my Ark directory, only the 'ShooterGame' one. Files are verified and all DLC are checked in Properties on Steam.
