I downloaded the August map snapshot of my base. My PC runs the game poorly. I lowered all the video setting as well as the texture settings. The map will run but has low FPS. It will also randomly freeze up and/or crash. I am tearing down the larger bases but till they are gone, is there a way to improve and stabilize the game. I don't want to zap all the bases at once till I finish looking them over. What setting are you using that seem to work. My PC has 16 gigs of DDR4 ram, GTX1060 video card, and a 7th gen core I7. It is old but ran the server map just fine. Plus the original single player map ran great. Thx!

Worked like a champ! Thanks for the heads up. Maybe we should have a thread devoted to single player ideas for these maps that are being pushed off the servers. I for one downloaded my maps plus several others to play around with. Then I have my OE single player map that plays on difficult settings.

So I've been pillaging and looting tribes on new single player map downloads. "Admin" commands bust them open and from there it's rip and tear lol. My question is "Is there an "Admin" command that force tames the tribes live dinos? I have no problem claiming the cryo babies and adults just the free range tamed dinos. Thanks in advance!

Hi, good answer. If you know, how big will the files for bases be? Just an approximation if you know. I think I'll need to clear some space on the PC. I was going to DL my 5 maps with their toon. Thx!

Hello, my maps that lost cables were on Ragnarok, Valgero, and Crystal isles, and Fjordur. The cables on The Island remained and Rag was the only base with unpowered fridge where the pods had 2 days left. I'm sure I'll never know for sure and I'll just rebuild the hurds when I go off line after the wipe. PS: I play exclusively on regular official PVE

First of all thx for your response. I can see the merit in your post and it would be accepted for some of the fridges on 2 of the maps. I do believe I did access those that went dead prematurely. However on 2 others that I know I was in, 6 days ago now, One had all cryo pods dead and the other had 2 days left on the timer. The math just doesn't add up. I restored power to the last fridge and am now recharging my few remaining tames, about 30 wyvern. and 20 other tames. But it still begs the question, how did my cables auto decay in less the 8 days? Forgive my suspicious nature where Wildsnail is concerned. They have not exactly kept my trust over these many years.

I contend that WC is rolling back servers to speed the exit of existing players on official servers they intend to wipe soon. Why you ask? Well I refresh my maps every 5-6 days to keep all structures intact and power going to my 100's of cryo pods in active chambers. I signed in and found my electric cables auto decayed on 4 of 5 maps. The cryo pods which have an unpowered life of several weeks were all dead on 4 of 5 maps. Even if, and it's a big if, I went past the 8 day limit on cables the unpowered cryo pods should not have died so quickly. I contend that those of us that are trying to maintain their bases are a problem WC intends to stamp out. This way the final wipe will involve fewer back ups and less complaints. Has anyone else had this experience? I have almost 7,000 hours of game time wiped out in less then a week. Shame on the staff at Wildsnails. You repulse me! FYI, fanboys, please don't ask me to submit a ticket. To get any response from them is like me, a 68 year old man, being given a ticket to the moon and expecting to go!

Your right the game still runs like it's 2017 and I know I was there.

Thanks for your Mod service but snide/obvious comments don't help snailcard out of the pit they dug for themselves. His point is legitimate to those who are financially and emotionally invested in a particular game. People on here get so hooked that it produces a withdrawal effect to not reup to the next level. Game developers know this. They count on players getting hooked to the game and community so that they feel they have no "real" choice but to carry on. Personally I can DL my bases but I will miss the interaction I had with some great fellow gamers. Just my 2 cents.

Hello, I am wondering what players are planning, that are going to take their files to off line, to single player mode. Here's my issue. I have a different toon on each of my maps( The Island, Ragnarok, Fjordur, Valguero, and Crystal Isles. Each of these maps have a good selection of creatures in cryo. I assume the transfer to other maps will not work in single player between these diverse maps. Should I consentrate all the dinos on 1 map only or keep them spread out to each map base. I have a 400+ wyvern at least on each map. I know I could spawn in what ever I want but I'm trying to stay as close to the way the game is played now with the exception of decay rates going away. Anyone have any thoughts on their road maps when leaving the official servers in August? Are you still maintaining your bases?

This true is to the point that after 7 years on the game I never get off a flyer without eating a steak just in case I'm still in the air on a lag rubber band. Makes you wonder what's the point of buying ASA if this is the state after 7-8 years on ASE.

Meet the Ark's newest carnivore. It's the Devosaurus. It's got a small brain but it can chew thru your base, kill your tames, and devour your money! Scream and run for your life if spotted. Makes the turkey mod look tame. Sorry but it sounded funny lol. Anyways does ASA support ray tracing and have you got computer specs yet?

If you have minimum and recommended specs for PC it would be helpful to release them. Some of us may need to update our PC's. God help me for considering this!🤦‍♂️

Well, you really think you'll have ASA ready for August? I doubt it. You are going to rush a bug/lagging game to market while turning off the servers to loyal customers. I believe Ark in all it's forms along with Wildcard/Snail games is going to wind up in the landfill right next to the Atari ET game. So begins the great game crash 2023 when other companies try to follow this company's road map straight to hell. I am sorry to see you go. I might shed a real tear!.....Nah!

it's interesting that we got Unreal. It's unreal we have to pay $60.00 for a copy of the game I paid for already. It's unreal that my server will be wiped in August. It's unreal I didn't see this money grab long ago. It's unreal that fan boys/girls are posting in defense of this company. The whole thing is just Unreal. Have fun with that!
