Super Fab

Game crashes every time server saves (Official) I've done some research and cant find this issue for official to be super common.. anyways every 15 minutes my game crashes (when the server saves). Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Yes I've already verified files. Yes I've reinstalled Ark entirely

I was mocked by the community mods here for saying that 3.5x was causing serious issues (see previous post history) with snide comments. THAT IS HOW WC reacts to reality. Shame on them

In regard to pillars, that is Ark official PVE for you. Always will be that way. As far as one server after another becoming unplayable due to rollbacks and now once again even with cryopods - dinocaps, yeah blame that on WC. I know community mods will defend WC tooth and nail but the reality is they will never learn how to run a game properly. Did they know this influx of players was about to hit them? I mean for a bit, yes. They also have control over new servers for those new players too among many other things but you talk to their fanboys and welp its totally out of their cont

Ocean Platform - Allow Behemoth Gates to actually function!! Why am I not shocked that I can place behemoth gate frame but not the actual door? Ark devs best! For those that dont know, placing down ocean platforms on most maps will have you elevated high above the ocean platform. Everything so far works for me except for the gate. The frame even works. Regular small doors work but not behemoth nor dino gate doors themselves. sigh

But they say that theres nothing really wrong with the servers, no major issues and certainly not due to endless 3x! I lost some stuff too.. best bet is to not transfer or transfer only to DLC servers with a lot fewer problems due to fewer bases / dinos out. Those seem to be doing fine

Delete Me lol

Well they are trying to address structures.. it's structures, not dinos for most maps that's causing the issues. Like on mine over 70% of all bases are either 100% empty or there is a single flyer in the base for timers. What they've done so far: Increased slots in most structures including forges, fridges, vaults over time Created large walls which renders what'd be 4x walls to 1x thus rendering it in much faster I think they need to keep pushing with structures, its a great idea but I think matching a large wall to 4x smaller walls exactly is a mistake. If it was 10% cheaper

Maybe shoot them up a PM and ask if there are any side effects from the boosted rates

There are also endless people asking for official servers to be wiped yet they don't. I assume as a volunteer to these forums you arent in contact with the GM's that restore peoples characters which is why you dont understand how bad this is hurting players on Official PVE. I gurantee you there is a massive uptick in tickets. A guy right before writing this lost his 130 character due to a rollback and he was not the first one to lose his character. If you look at the schedule for getting a character restored its well over a month just to get someone out. I lost my character a month ago,

Pro Tip: Ocean Platforms Cheap Plenty of areas to place them Safe Accessible I know pillaring sucks but I even admit I'm part of the problem because if I dont, I'll have others pillar to death around my base (as seen on my rag server). On their one game Atlas, they tried a method with flags and territories but its a total disaster last time I played it so this problem unfortunately wont go away anytime soon. Best to adapt. One really cool thing you can do though is like for example you pillar too much and some noob is looking for a base spot, ask them if they'

LOL right so boost rates when people have nothing else to do, have more time than ever to play. Boost rates so much that its rapidly causing more and more servers to crash and rollback. So no, the fact that people can play more than ever does not conclude that its actually more logical to have 3.5x rates that're ruining the servers compared to regular 2x on weekends, 1x during the week. Perhaps you dont play on official so you might not be able to wrap your mind around servers that were perfectly find just a couple of weeks ago having crashes and rollbacks 8+ times in a single day.

Can someone explain why WC keeps having insane boosted events? I've never seen Ark like this in all the years I've been playing. We get back to back 3x.. well 3.5x coming this weekend. I get logically speaking it keeps the player numbers up but what it's also doing is causing serious server issues. My rag server for example has crashed 8 times in the past 12 hours with rollbacks every time. People including myself have lost dinos that they may never get back and structures / blueprints they may never get back. For me, I lost a lot of items I had crafted on extinction along with dino

There has always been an issue with Ark, one size fits all. It boils down to coding / time / priorities / etc. There are still MANY things that don't make sense on PVE that exist due to PVP but yeah this is a really great change, it makes the game less annoying for sure.

You state that Server Health is so important yet all I ever see is horrible lag on my Rag server with fewer than 17 players at any given time. I've already written a ticket in and I realize that there are many large empty bases that're helping to contribute to the lag but I also know there are technical ways to reduce the lag via server performance on the hardware end. One would think with such a large influx of revenue lately that said studio would push hard for a solid product. Most current players on my rag server are NEW meaning this is their first go at Ark. Is this really wha

Existing maps need TLC, not new ones constantly | Low pops Existing maps should be reworked similar to how they rework dinos While new maps like once a year is a lot of fun, 2+ a year is a quick bandage for deeper issues with Ark Low populations are becoming the norm on Ark official. I think most people agree that playing on official is for the social aspect, otherwise people would just play single player Existing MAP TLC A prime example of maps that seem dead most of the time are Aberration, The Center, Scorched Earth. There are many reasons for each of the
