yeh i feel the same way...they just dropped the nintendo switch port and forgot about it...Its not being treated as other platforms. they dropped a patch and dont even warn us, no patch notes, no nothig.

So far I noticed that the game runs a little smoother. Normally withing 2 hours, the game always crashes for me. 3+ hours in game and still barely lagging. Still when you try to mod, and quit the game, it still doesnt save your latest mods, it just resets it back to neutral. At least this is looking somewhat better.

Edit: Nevermind, crashed twice again.

The game just updated to 1.2.0, and in game to 600.0, what are the new updates? Can anyone tell because I can't see anywhere what is new.

This is insane. Instead of fixing the issues on platforms that already exist they decided to release this less-than-par port. On top of that... Atlas is releasing soon. Will not be touching either. Money grubbers.

EDIT: I'm sure the wildcard team is excited to release Ark on another platform and i'm not trying to take away from that. This port would have been much appreciated a while back. I just don't think it's right that they expect more money without having fixed most of their issues before moving forward. (Still waiting on a response for a ticket on PC I submitted 2 weeks ago.)

Amen!

hey is there any DLC being added? im having fun but i really want some DLC 

 

I'm having fun to but it's better if they fix those crashes before giving us DLC. Otherwise is a waste of money in my opinion

I‘ve heard many people complain about crashes. Yet i have to experience one by myself after about 40 hours. Did you get the game digitally? If yes, have you tried a different sd card or installing the game on the internal storage? Or if you’ve got it physically, try installing the update on the internal storage as well. I‘ve got it physically, installed the update on the internal storage and it runs just fine. Only had a few server disconnects but that was due to my bad connection. 

I bought it digitally, and the files are on my sd card. I'll reinstall it on the switch storage and hope for the best the random crashes stop, that would make the gameplay much better.

Edit: Well, still crashes so I guess that did not work at all. I'm not gonna play it anymore until they update it and fix this mess.

I run a group for Ark players on Nintendo Switch and I hate to say it but we are not satisfied with the graphics. We love Ark but the graphics are just not meeting our expectations. Quite a few have mentioned that they are returning the game. Will there be patches/updates soon to come to improve this issue? We all want Ark to work great on Nintendo Switch. The following are problems noted from players in my group:

- Very, very low resolution graphics in handheld mode. The visuals are so poor that I cant play for a few minutes without developing a headache. 

- Rendering distances are very poor in handheld mode; many objects don’t fully render until you’re right next to them.

- The entire world seems to need to re-render every time you open and close the in-game menu. 

- When killed by a dinosaur in handheld mode, the HD rumble seems to vibrate to its absolute maximum, so much so that it feels like it’s going to damage my console if it keeps happening. 

- It often takes multiple attempts to join an official server, even when said server isn’t anywhere near to being full.

- Equus go through the mesh and disappear when pooping. Textures also flicker on them when they are rendered again after coming back in range.

- Some single player settings are not saved the next time the game is loaded.

- The ground keeps disappearing.. it's crazy and terrifying when you're getting off a mount and don't know if you're going to fall to your death or not.

- Brightness/gamma needs work or maybe contrast. With gamma all the way up its still nearly impossible to see anything at dark.

You are absolutely right, I have the exact same issues, plus the random game crashes that takes you way a hour back, or worse!

Already playing the game a few hours, and getting random game crashes. When I return again into the game, I get backtracked at least a hour or even more. Great game with huge potential but truly I hope this will get fixed sometime.
