But I thought ASA only underperformed for players who are poor and can't afford good gear?/s

Have you tried Enshrouded yet? Early access how it should be done.

Nothing written here is going to change anything. It's just a place to come to find like minded people that love the game but, don't love how its going. It's only passive aggressive if the target is around to read it and Devs haven't been seen on these "official" forums for a long time (again, prove me wrong guys). You need to be on discord to direct anger/ passive aggression as that's the only place Devs risk public engagement.

When I had this problem I just added another SSD to my system internally. There are usually spare HD slots on a motherboard. You will have to add that drive to Steam or Xbox and save the whole game on that drive.

On the subject of poor hardware... Steam Hardware and Software survey is quite informative... Steam Hardware & Software Survey If you can get a game to run at slightly less than best GFX settings with the hardware above then you have a very marketable product. Starfield and Baldurs Gate 3 are great examples. If you need a 4080/90 to appreciate a games content then that's a smaller market. ASA's problem has been that even with high end hardware, the game still runs poorly especially on busy servers. Also, WC know this is not optimal, hence the big graphics update planned for March.

Well, player count doubled for Extinction launch but was still only half the number when ASA launched. I would wager that most of these players have already paid for the game plus DLCs so no new revenue, only extra costs. At this rate we might not see the other maps let alone Ark 2.

"The oracle told me that the Game of the Year 2025 is going to be made by a studio who found the formula to make it up here on stage. It's stupidly simple, but somehow it keeps on getting lost. A studio makes a game because they want to make a game they want to play themselves. They created it because it hadn't been created before. They didn't make it to increase market share. They didn't make it to serve the brand. They didn't have to meet arbitrary sales targets, or fear being laid off if they didn't meet those targets. Furthermore, the people in charge forbade them from cramming the game with anything whose only purpose was to increase revenue and didn't serve the game design. They didn't treat their developers like numbers on a spreadsheet. They didn't treat their players as users to exploit. And they didn't make decisions they knew were short-sighted in function of a bonus or politics. They knew that if you put the game and the team first, the revenue will follow. They were driven by idealism, and wanted players to have fun, and they realized that if the developers don't have fun, nobody was going to have any fun. They understood the value of respect, that if they treated their developers and players well, the same developers and players would forgive them when things didn't go as planned. But above all they cared about their games, because they love games. It's really that simple." -Swen Vincke, Larian Studios P.s. I know that the only Wild Card representatives that read the forums are the unpaid mods (and bless them for doing so) but, this needed placing somewhere on WC property.

Official server? If not, have a word with your admin.

Insert <First time?> meme here...

Easy way to be certain is to pick up a stone. You should get 2 for every pick up.

Cosmos look a lot like Ladybird spiders which are tiny and cute but are probably deadly predators. Just very smol, deadly predators.

Revert to original scope for Cryo balls in PvE. Ark loads quicker since recent updates. Ark is crashing less. This is progress. Still lots to address but progress never the less.

Is asa pvp doomed? Fixed it for you All valid points and plenty agree with you. Business priorities are the animated series, cosmetic and premium mods. Devs are fixing stuff but rarely stuff that most players are concerned about.

This was a thing on Official servers but has since been resolved. If this is on a private server than settings need tweaking.

Sorry for late reply. You can and more...
