starlightmartyr Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I can't figure out where to contact support, write an email, and I can't find anything on the internet.. ? I'm trying to play split screen on a 55-in TV and I can't read anything, is this a common problem or am I missing something? I play on Xbox one. . thank you.

We have an 85 in tv and are constantly resorting to squishing our faces against the tv to see what exactly is what. Not much you can do about it either. Heck, sometimes I gotta kick mom off just to read or do anything for recipes or blueprints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlightmartyr Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 The fact you play with your mom is amazing... I wish I could get my mom to play with me LOL Thanks though...

starlightmartyr Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Bummer man 😩 but thanks for the response!! Had this game for ages but never had anyone IRL to play with until now !

Games been out too long for this not to have been fixed !!; Its actually her fault that Im even a part of ark. The kids got it and they never played it, I never touched it either cause it was the kids game, but she decided to fire it up and started hitting me with all sorts of questions.....long story short, she joined an official PvP server that was 5 years old, and was constantly being harrassed by the locals. And after two weeks of someone stealing her 12 spark powder I finally caved and started helping. Next thing I know, poof here I am. Sadly splitscreen can only get you to aberation, at that point in time, the tethering ruins the game......Nothing like trying to set off on a raft only to get ripped back to the host, which means the raft is now inside the base going baserk.

Make a new game that starts to get some decent sales 2. Port it to every platform you can despite the quality of the port, by the time anyone notices the quality, the game's been paid for. 3... 4. Profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin998 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Yep. I play exclusively on splitscreen, because my brother's too annoying to leave me be and play ark at max quality in peace. It's painful. Very, very painful. Every single time I step into a cave, I'm forced to wait until I've aged another 20 years before my game comes back to normal. Xbox one ark is pain. I really hope WC does something do optimize the game for older-gen consoles, since I hate the lag (another unrelated thing-they could take cues from Mojang, where the game on console is essentially a different version (although I do hate the fact that some features are java only and some are bedrock only)).

I doubt old gen will get much. Supposedly URE5 is comeing, but if at the last secound they say its only for the series or PS5, I wouldn't think much to it. The old 5600 RPM hard drives both consoles used was terribly out of date before the one and ps4 was released. Now they are literally bottlenecking any game they run.

It manages to keep you in your place and scared most of the time, and without combat. The breathing thing is like food in ark. Hard for a few mins/hours then not an issue.
