Mathayus Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Hello there! I was playing on my local server in Valguero when I left the session and then enter again, but the new one was instead of entering my game appeared the character screen. Then I just made one and spawn where was all my buildings and dinos but there were nothing of it. What should I do to rescue my progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdrassil Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Bad news is, you more than likely can't unless you manually backed up your save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its well known that ascending can wipe ur character progress. Tho if i remember correctly ur base and tames remained with that bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, it depends on whether you tried multiple times to get back into your map. 1) Make sure ARK is not running. 2) Go to the following directory on your computer: ..\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Valguero_PSavedArksLocal The location of that drive will depend on how you installed ARK, if you used Steam then it will be under ..\Steam\steamapps\common\ or if you used Epic it will be wherever your Epic games are installed. 3) In that directory you should see three files that end with .ark Make a copies of the "AntiCorruptionBackup" and "NewLaunchbackup" files, if you have any chance of recovering it's going to be one of those two files. 4) Now that you have backups of the two files, try them each, one at a time, by copying them over to replace the "Valguero_P.ark" file. 5) After each file restart ARK and see if it fixed your problem. 6) If one of those files fixes your problem then shut down ARK and make a manual backup copy of Valguero_P.ark It's a good idea to back up this file at least once a month, or more often if you ever find that you have this problem again. 7) If neither of those files solves your problem then you're out of luck, those are the only two backup copies that the game stores for you.

Griffin998 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I mean, it's possible your progress just didn't save in time, and your game crashed or smt. It's also possible that you accidentally clicked the delete progress button next to the map selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be that it's somewhere under "C:\Program FIles\" or "C:\Program FIles (x86)\", but I don't know for sure. Maybe someone else knows that answer, or you might have to so some web searching. I would search for something like "ARK install location microsoft store".
