They don't. https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/all-2021-video-game-delays/

Ced is commiserative anytime it's warranted on Twitter, and he is the face of the game for the players.

Always room for improvement. Every company faces issues they can work on. Some low hanging fruit, some the hard stuff. They don't owe me anything. They have been very kind to us mods over the years.

Dont think you can chastise people for having no patience when we've all been waiting since DECEMBER for this dlc. They tweeted just last night that everything was on track for release today. Bit of a joke really after delaying it a week at the last minute already. They're just supremely unorganized and it borders on being unprofessional when it occurs over and over and over again. People have every right to be aggravated and short on patience.

I've reproduced and got a fix for the command line export path. Other errors both seem to relate to permissions. 1st error was that the toolkit couldn't access the game save data. 2nd one was attempting to access registry to determine location of your steam settings for single player. I'll check the code over to make sure it only checks the registry for single player if single player map mode is chosen. @pleinx - Re-packed and re-uploaded. Same version/link.

Version 2.2 now available. http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ArkViewer2021-2-2.zip More code changes to tidy things up and fix bugs. Map drawing is now done in one place and outside of the main UI. Seems to have improved performance a little as a side bonus but this will now allow me to work on splitting off the map into a seperate tool window. Dropped items overhaul. Filters hopefully now all work. Added grid sorting. Fix to re-parent cryopod creatures if their targeting tribe doesnt match the cryopod tribe. On a map save provided by @Larkfields this surfaced over 600 podded creatures that weren't visible before due to having a tribe ASV didn't recognise. Unless there is anything major that breaks things in this version, and being an optmist on the expected release of Genesis 2, I'm unlikely to be putting out another release this week. ... Well so much for my optimism. At least tomorrow afternoon now before Genesis 2. Guess I have a few hours to kill - let's see what else I can break in ASV for the next release. Couple of screen shots of planned seperate/popout and optionally visible tool windows for visible map: Map by itself http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Images/ASV_Map.png Map with hidden custom structure markers expanded http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Images/ASV_MapMarkers.png Map structure options http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Images/ASV_MapStructures.png You will be able to position and size them as required so you can make better use of your screen space.

Depends on the time of day it releases on PC. Console are usually only a few hours behind, so if it gets released early enough today there's a good chance consoles (or at least one of the platforms) will still get it same day (excluding timezones). It will unlikely be days later.

If you're going to insult people as "brain dead" cave dwellers, you should at least know the full context and content of those you're trying to insult. Otherwise, that's just insulting bruh. People aren't fed up because WC had to delay a day. People are fed up because of the history of WC delays and how they've done nothing to improve on it... in fact, they seem to only get worse over time. You don't think this delay is WC's fault? Who is responsible for communicating release dates? Who is responsible for making sure their product is complete with enough time to finish the final steps leading up to launch (the apparent certification process that is the cause for this most recent delay)? Who is responsible for knowing everything they need know about how to properly launch their DLC on all the platforms they are attempting to launch on simultaneously, including how long it takes? Of course it's WC's fault and I don't think they themselves would claim otherwise. All that said, none of this really bothers me personally. It seems to bother a lot of other folks though and I understand why. The bad news for WC and just about every other business out there is that COVID-19 won't be a convenient excuse for much longer.

criticism shouldn't be frowned on, due to the fact that telling others to quit it is criticism in a way. so technically speaking, you'd be quite the moron to tell others to go ahead and stop criticizing others. you do you, but I'm just pointing this out. and no, I don't care for the moron part, it's just and ONLY just freedom of speech. negativity combined with F.o.S is just abusing it, and most of humanity looks towards happier and more bright-sided people. I'm not one of them, but this whole comment is just a little tip for others

you forgot the last sentence, bud. and also, complain all you want, not gonna change anything. forums are the least supervised, so not many requests will be heard. unlike this forum, which has gotten a good tap from the monitors. I'm thinking more towards the bright side of things. your "motivational energy" could actually be useful for speaking up without the negativity MOST of the time. unlike some things in this place, negativity can go buh-by most often. the one exception so far that I've seen is probably the online transfer or server thing, whatever it was (can't remember, honestly). negative energy? eh, go for it. ALMOST 24/7? nah. but, yeah, some things or people deserve criticism. thankfully, I'm not being a pinhead and critiquing you, you're fine. if I am? go ahead and retaliate, I could use the commentary. but still, almost time for ARK to release it's DLC in my timezone. whatever timezone you're in, I'm hoping is earlier than mine, just to give you some positive energy, like I would do.

I'm pretty sure the point wasn't that nobody else delays games... it's how WC delays... not many others do it quite like WC. For Genesis 2, it was first supposed to be out in "Winter 2020 / Dec 2020"... then it was pushed out to Spring 2021... then late May... then June 2nd... now June 3 at 8am eastern... I half expect some last minute hiccup to push the time back to 12 or 1pm EST, just for that one last kick in the teeth

That's just a list for this year and we are only half way through it.

They mastered this.

If Wildcard only delayed every title once, people would just laugh it off. They really should take a page from Blizzard and become tight-lipped about dates.... They should not mention a single date until it's a couple weeks out... and even then, only after every step is finished (including this certification step that is causing this "final" delay). Just say "Coming Soon". Seems like that will make a lot of folks here happy. Better to have people complaining about not having a date/time than complaining because you couldn't make your date/time.

On 5/30/2021 at 2:38 PM, PhotekPlays said: got my popcorn, i am rdy for delay number 5. capiche bahahahaha YEP xd just go to twitter 1500+ messages flooding their last delay post, people are p. for a reason so do not play the white knight for them we know them since 6 years, and it is always the same but the new players do not know and have to bite the sour apple, again and again. the new players do not know so they play white knight for them, kinda cute but yea.. sux the other new players took a day off multiple times now because of delays rly sad to see as a long time player and a heavy ark fan, that after 6 years the communication is still the same, very bad, and the marketing is only hype, nothing else not even a merch shop...

bahahahahahahaha hahahaha choking hahahahaha

smarts. I didn't understand a thing, but I can tell you do. don't mind explaining, I can live on

For me the latest version not working correctly. Via Export-Command .\ARKSaveViewer.exe all "C:\Test\Output\" "C:\Test\Viking_P\Viking_P.ark" Doesnt export to the given folder. Found the files (other named) in the same directory like the ARKSavegameViewer named with "ASV_{TAB_KEY}.json" instead of "ARKViewer_Export_{TAB_KEY}.json". The Name is not the big thing, but the folder. First Time when i started the latest verison im getting these errors: useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath, Boolean checkHost) bei System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileSystemRights rights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options) bei System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles.MemoryMappedFile.CreateFromFile(String path, FileMode mode, String mapName, Int64 capacity, MemoryMappedFileAccess access) bei ArkSavegameToolkitNet.ArkSavegame..ctor(String fileName, ArkNameCache arkNameCache, Nullable`1 savegameMaxDegreeOfParallelism, ArkNameTree exclusivePropertyNameTree) bei ArkSavegameToolkitNet.Domain.ArkGameData.Update(CancellationToken ct, ArkPlayerExternal[] externalPlayerData, Boolean deferApplyNewData, ArkAnonymizeData anonymize) in F:\Projects\VS\ARKViewer-Master\ArkSavegameToolkitNet.Domain\ArkGameData.cs:Zeile 73. bei ARKViewer.Program.Main() in F:\Projects\VS\ARKViewer-Master\ARKViewer\Program.cs:Zeile 106.

Anyone want to take bets that they don't make the 8AM Eastern time and have to push back a couple more hours?

Because they are dumb, why not try and get your product through certification before the stated release date? They never learn good luck on Ark2 when you release in late 2024.

............ Why wc?... Why?????

Wow!

BOOM! Another delay!

Lol good old Wildcard will never change. Thank you!

I can't wait for this DLC. June 2 they said, huh....I get out of work and only have 9 hours left of June 2nd and still nothing. Oh wait I work tomorrow make that 6 hours before this stupid release date is over.....I knew WC would do this but I really was hoping for a better time frame for this DLC. Maybe ARK II will have better times.....(if someone buys out WC of course) Thank you for letting me vent in a peaceful way without a warning again...lol Almost forgot HURRY UP PLEASE!!!!!!

You don't have to try to insult my intelligence. I know of timezones. I know that Seattle is 2hours behind from where I live. I'm not angry because Wildcard never meets a deadline that they set themselves. As well as I'm not angry because the DLC hasn't been released yet. It's the fact of the lack of communication on their part. P.s. my 2 dogs Pepper,Jack and my cat Cheese make sure I stay relaxed.

Just a guess here. Around 7 pm est. or delayed for a week or two

Since it's not the official channel. You know it's not accurate.

I Can't wait!!!! I've just been looking at steam every now and then to check if it launched

Can we have the map name for unofficial servers to get prepared please?

Can’t wait!!! Have had ark for 4 years and have over 1000 hours in this brilliant game thank you wildcard!!!!

Well, work was bad as expected, so I ended up getting home an hour late. That kind of threw a wrench into my Ark plans. But then Ark threw a wrench into my Ark plans anyway. First I went out to try to find a female megatherium to breed with my male. There was a 145 theri standing literally right outside our taming pen so I lured it in and discovered D had dropped a wolf in there that was running around. He came back over and we got them both down and tamed up. D also tamed a 145 roo that was also standing nearby, because why not. Got all that sorted, D logged for the night and I started my run to look for a mega. Got one rhino nearby kited into the pen and tamed up, then lost a really nice wild one to stupid pigs, so annoyed. It had great potential. Sigh. #Arklife, right? Overall I was about halfway through one loop and a rare giga spawned. I immediately went back to gear up while spamming E in Steam chat because I know he's been looking for another one. It was very late in his time zone but he was still up and jumped in game while I was busy scouting it out. Found the giga, a female, perfect for what he needed. Together we trapped it, got it down and tamed. Nice. He bred her immediately when we got back to base of course. We hung out for a bit chatting and doing some cleanup around the base, then he went to bed. By that point it was rather late, especially with my shortened time tonight. I did a small farming run, mass produced some sparkpowder and gunpowder, did a little more general cleanup, and that was it.

You ruin your day yourself. Just ignore negative posts. You respond to them all constantly, just ignore them and move on. Don't blame others for ruining your day because you read something on the internet. You have it in your power to ignore it, yet you always choose to respond as if you take what they say about WC/Ark personally. Just do yourself a favour.

someone be going in the literal stance....... I LOVE IT!!! 😂

Today I spent my time collecting cementing paste from beaver dams and collecting Crystal to make the top section more attractive to the eye and to the t Rex that can view his dinner running around inside

I started crafting tons of pillar bc i recognized i´m a lil dumbass which not thought about the fact that there is nearly no flat building space in ark on official servers which ins´t in use yet ... so i cried a second bc yesterday i crafted foundations and now yeah well letz build pillars and ceilings would work better than wasted foundations

PVE Rag official Did a little more work on the water pen. Tested it out with baby basilos and it appears to work just fine. Made a few runs for metal, stone, wood, etc. On a whim ( really because I was bored and needed to do something fun), I took the raft over to the wyvern cove and swam into the cave. stayed underwater mostly and poked around until I thought coast was clear. Pulled out argent and flew up to the top of the first pillar near the entrance. Found a 175 poison egg!!!!! Woohoo. I remembered to pod the argent. However, in my excitement I forgot to take off my flippers so when I grabbed the egg I couldn't run. At normal speed I can just run off the pillar top and my momentum will carry me out to the water... but with no speed and no momentum, I dropped straight down and hit rock at the bottom. (death #1) Respawned on the raft and swam in (no scuba) again. found body at surface of water. took all items, including egg. But, like an idiot, I stayed right there and took my time putting on the scuba. Being right at the water surface I was an easy target for the lightning bolt from above to strike me down. (death #2) Had to wait to respawn at the raft this time. When finally back in the game I swam (yet again) into the cave and secured my gear from body #2. Swam down this time to put on gear. Went back out to raft and started driving away and was attacked by 2 more wyverns. I kept driving out of the cove as they pestered me. Pretty soon I had the brilliant idea of jumping off the raft and swimming deep with scuba until they lose aggro. Nope, they got me again when I jumped for the water. (death #3) This time I spawned back at base and took my lightning wyvern with me. But by the time I got to the boat the other two wyverns had left. Cool beans!. Landed wyvern carefully on the raft deck ( kinda like landing a 747 on an aircraft carrier). Anyway, I made it home and started incubating the egg right away. Fast forward about 6 hours, I am standing by the egg with two minutes left to go until hatch when the power goes out at my house. Some freak gust of wind blue a tree into some power lines. In the 12 years I have live in this house this is the first time I have ever lost power. Oh My F..... God! I thought I was going to lose IT! I bounced around the house for awhile pulling out my hair. Then my wife told me to have a beer and settle down, LMAO. So I did. The power came back on about 30 minutes later and when I logged in... everything was ok. My baby wyvern was doing just fine. When I checked it against dododex, I think it had 33 pts in melee and 31 in health. Not world records, but good to me. All is well that ends well, right?

Cuz you can't unless you have the finished code to submit to that package distro(PS4, PS5, Xbox, etc...) Then... each update to that code needs re-certification. At least, that is my understanding if it from other devs.

That's not very helpful. Because I myself wouldn't be asleep on the release day especially if I haven't released my product or even a time when my product would be released. If the case is just waking up then that would mean not working all night or they are late to work. Now working all night hmmm then we should have heard something thorough out the night. Just frustrating!
