Not being able to change session filter

[Sebron05 0]

You could just after u have presses join a session then go offline keep the game open then go to change the server thing then go back online then back into the game then restart your game wait like 2 mins after pressing join above host then the servers will be there and u can change server list

Has there been any fix for this. This has been happening to me forever now. I've tried uninstalling several times.

just did the same thing. got it to work by switching to primitive, changing the sort option to name.. 

 

but make sure you put your session back to where it needs to go or you might get stuck AGAIN like me but on a different session choice instead.

 I had the same issue so I went to primitive plus game mode and reset it through there and went back to survival and it was fixed.

I just downloaded Ark, and everytimebI try to play the sessions list starts to load the freezes. Needless to say I can't play a game I purchased.  It did the same thing when I got  it from game Pass. Thats why I bought it.

Update, I too found myself in the same boat, if your router is too far from the console and wifi is the only way, don’t fear! 
 

I accessed my router (via your default gateway) and simply denied bandwidth to the Xbox, applied the filter and no more than 1 second later clicked “Join”, this initiated the search but froze.. then released from its frozen state allowing me to access the “session filter” list... simply select your filter and re apply bandwidth to the device through the router config!

 

hope this helps you all!

Mine just got fixed by going back to main menu and changing to primitive plus, then changing the server, then going back to survival evolved.

Yeah I tried that yesterday and now today mine is freezing while switching game types...

This is beyond ridiculous now..

 

Someone from Wildcard needs to step up here and post something and acknowledge this issue and tell us that they're going to fix their godawful server browser and the bugs related to it..

 

People are paying for rented servers they can't even access because of this issue.

 

I just encountered this issue myself now for the first time and it is a poopshow, without a doubt.

 

Game locks up, can't access the session filter with a controller and as soon as we click on search, it locks up completely and need to be shut down through the home menu.

 

If this poop doesn't get fixed, there's not a chance in hell of me buying ARK 2..

I’ve been trying to search for my newly rented Xbox server from Nitrado but I haven’t been able to change the session filter selection for some reason. I’ve try uninstalling the entire game and reinstalling it as well and going offline as I click on join ark. I’m only connected to wifi and have no idea how to fix this problem and would like some help so I am start playing on my server.

Thank you it worked I was freaking out after 5 years and building a little empire I was going to loose everything till I tried your solution thanks.

[ExcessEvil 134]

Well i got it working, thanks for the tip with the ethernet cable. My point still stands. Wildcard needs to own up to their mess.

 

However and, unfortunately, shortly after i got to pick unofficial and found my server, i got the unable to retrieve server address bug..

Has anyone found a fix

I’m having major problems with the Join ark with Xbox. I had turned off my WIFI and pulled the power cable out, but nothing seems to be working. I don’t have an Ethernet cable to it. When I looked up what to do I saw that and it doesn’t work (the picture below) the session filter won’t change at all nor maps it’s stuck on Genesis. Trying to get get from the devs on Twitter but with no luck at all, I own a server and would really like to use my own server soon, my friends can use my own server but I can’t

Hey so what you do to fix it on WiFi is you go to settings and click disconnect wireless and the quickly go back to game and it’ll work!

There shouldn't even be a need for a workaround. This is all on Wildcard to fix. This just proves, that when we still keep encountering bugs that have been around since Game Preview on Xbox, 4+ years later, they.. don't.. care..

 

Adding useless stuff like extra maps (with their own bugs i might add!), and adding dino TLC and DLCs, is not fixing bugs. It's adding more bugs ontop of the old bugs. Any dev worth their salt would've fixed the majority of bugs before adding DLCs and more to the official base game.

 

I do have to say that this is also a result of the white knights/fanboys/content creators aka brown nosers, shutting down people with valid complaints during game preview/early access, saying that there are no issues/bugs.

 

I mean, when you've got a content creators that encounters a bug then quickly starts doing something else and just shrugs it off, continuing to kiss the collective devs rear-ends, something's off.. No wonder the devs haven't fixed all the game breaking issues, because since the release on Steam Early Access, they've only listened to the brown nosers.. Telling them that the game is fine..
