I agree. Official servers are completely unplayable. Wildcard used to publish a roadmap way way back. I doubt you'll see one again. As for the issues, i remember being told that they completely rewrote the netcode backend among other things for ASA but it seems they simply ported the broken game over to a new engine since so many of the same issues persist.

It's not a bug, its a feature. /studio wildcard -
Taming 300 dodos will get you wiped by a GM. There are rules in this game. It's best to avoid doing things that not only break the rules, but could potentially get you in trouble due to misunderstanding. And yes, i know this from experience.

File a ticket. Wildcard used to wipe people who blocked obelisks, pillared/foundation spammed obscene amounts of land, blocked major waterways like the central river on Island, etc. Here is the list of rules:

It usually helps if you post your system specs. I haven't had a crash since the first week ASA was launched.

In that post you made earlier, you said you were game sharing with a friend. Seems like a big no-no to me.

So wait, how can you say that purchasing ASA includes access to ALL of Ark's worlds at no additional cost, yet you're adding additional paid DLC to those worlds? Isn't that the definition of additional cost?

ARK: Survival Ascended is Live on PlayStation and Mod Spotlight

You can enable vsync and Gsync via your nvidia graphics drivers. I run gsync and it works great. -

A graphics card that can run at that level of detail at 60fps costs more than your PS5. That can be translated as, your console is nowhere near powerful enough to run that level of detail at 60fps. -
Nitrado is so expensive now that is has monopolized ASA
AndrewLB replied to DeweyDogTV's topic in General Discussion
They literally blew all the money they were going to use to develop Ark 2 on an electric car company which just went bankrupt, so instead of Unreal Engine 5 being a free upgrade, they decided to nail everyone for $40 instead even though we've bought the original game and every DLC since. -

That's the thing, you CANNOT run your own server cluster with these rules for ASA. -
No Longer Able to Run Private ASA Servers... maybe?

Not getting a dime from me until this is changed. -
Chill out on the negative reviews on steam

Then maybe they shouldn't be charging $40 for us to beta test for them. They had originally announced this was going to be a free upgrade as seen here where they backtracked: -

Early access is simply weasel words for "The game isn't ready yet, so don't complain about the bugs even though we sold it to you for $40". If the Unreal Engine 5 upgrade was Free to season pass holders like it was originally intended, or if the price for those people was reduced to say... $20, then perhaps i'd agree with you. But the fact is promises were made but not kept, and it's annoying as heck to pay $40 to be someone's beta tester.
