so update, ive tried ruinstalling the game twice. ive deleted every single file relating to BE off my pc, deleted any game on my pc thats also running BE, let battleye into the firewall, restarted my router, ive tried about 15 different servers. none of these have worked. ive got 275 hours on this game and never run into this issue in the past now all of a sudden my game is totally unplayable, unless of course i wanna play for 15 minutes then have to rejoin the server.
unfortunately the ark community dont seem to respond to anything either since ive also spend the last 24 hours asking on the steam discussion and not a single response. i suppose i can leave this here as a post that can let anyone know if theyre in my position dont waste anywhere near as much time trying to fix this as i have. your games broke unfortunately
