Frame Drop Problems on Xbox I've made a post about this before but I Feel the need to Reiterate this Problem Frames seem to Drop when: - Crafting Large Amounts of Anything in Inventory/Smithy/Fabricator/Industrial Grinder/Chemistry Bench/Tek Replicator/ETC. Basically any Crafting station - Hovering over HLNA Skin In Inventory If your on a Different Platform having the same problems let me know

I'm playing single player on Xbox. I can't get admin commands to work. I can bring up the commands bar by pressing lb + rb + x + y but nothing happens when I put in a command. I've tried putting enablecheats also. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to enable cheats on any setting prior to starting the local single player game? I have to be missing something???? Help!

Many of us have requested this many times. We would like to be able to turn off Bloom and Light Shafts from within the main options.

Xbox one admin commands not working single player So I have just returned to playing ark however it doesn't seem like the admin commands are working when trying to enter them in in solo mode. I am online I do have admin logging marked off but didn't seem to be working any suggestions?

Admin console entry issues When typing any admin command into the game, if the command has a parameter value of 1, it will not print on the command console, leaving the text entry line blank, so the command doesn't work. Examples: Settargetdinocolor 0 14 - works fine. Settargetdinocolor 1 14 - doesn't work. Gfi argentavissaddle 2 100 0 - works. Gfi argentavissaddle 1 100 0 - doesn't. Gfi argentavissaddle 2 1 0 - doesn't. Gfi argentavissaddle 2 100 1 - doesn't. Tested across multiple Xbox ones, and multiple profiles. Definitely something in the game. Help?

Better Whistle Shortcut for Consoles Idea So you guys attempted to give console a whistle Shortcut by simply holding B (Xbox) or Circle (PS4) well clearly not many were fans of that, so instead how about this, Holding LB then Clicking in on the Right or Left Stick Doesn't do anything so why not apply a Whistle Follow One and a Whistle Stop One to those Buttons, Just a Thought

Ferox disparition (console) I don’t know if this happens to everyone as I only play on the PS4 but every time I tame a ferox and log off, the next day I come on and it disappears and when I go to the tribe log it says I tamed one but never says it died... And when I check the tame limit in my inventory it doesn’t even count the ferox that’s gone so I literally just lose him... Does this happen to anyone else on an unofficial server and maybe on console?

Sound Re-balance So one thing that has always bothered me, as well as the few people I play with; Sound. We really need a sound rebalance for wall torches, fireplaces, and tiki torches. Things that are meant to light a shelter. Lets face it, when you have enough to light your home, it sounds like the whole place is on fire and burning to the ground around you! I think it'd be a nice idea to tone down the blaze to a gentle crackle that doesn't overpower even the Tek Generator in the noise it creates. If not make the adjustment in the files, at least add a slider in a menu or something.

When you die only you can see the green light of your dead body. Sometimes if you crash when get back to the game you are dead and can’t find that green light of your body. Would be awesome if a tribemate could see it too to find it faster (even a different color so they know it ain’t their dead body incase both players died).

The HLNA Teleporting Issue (Console, Low End PCs) This is mainly For Console and low end PCs, The Issue is the Time it takes to render in the Area, and it puts you at risk of dying cause Raptors, Rexs, or Some other Carnivore taking the oppurtunity to Kill you, I'd like to Suggest a few ways to fix this which I'll post Below: - A Mini Force Field That lasts 30-40 seconds that pushes wild creatures away from you and your mounts allowing you time to Render in - Allow you to Stay on your Mount when Teleporting so at least your creature can tank the damage while you render in (You Know that is if Your Creature can Tank the Damage) - Make all Teleporter Points on the Map Have a Permanent Force field that Wild Creatures can't enter (This would also Require not allowing players To Build in the area, or if a building is placed there, it would rapidly take damage until Destroyed, In fact do that as a feature anyways) You guys got any other Ideas I'd love to hear them

Console Ark has always been a struggle, just because of the (lack of) power that consoles have. Here are some REALLY SIMPLE changes that could be made to make a console player's life much easier. 1. GRAPHICAL SETTING OPTIONS. For real guys, why can't console players turn off the godawful light shafts, shadows, and bloom quality from the game menu? Every time I log onto Ark, I have to first go onto my single player, type in these commands and then log into whatever server I'm playing on, and then do it again when my game inevitably crashes while I'm playing. I don't know if anyone from the Dev team has played Ark with high gamma, and then flown up into the sky. Your screen literally turns white, you literally can't see anything. Not exaggerating. Allow us PLEASE to tune these settings. As well as that, if it's at all possible, give the option to change resolution settings. Console players don't need textures to look amazing, we’re playing on an xbox and a $100 TV from Walmart. We just want to get above 5fps inside our bases. Please Wildcard. 2. MOUSE AND KEYBOARD. I know this one is a longshot, but Xbox just gave the capability, and Ark is such an advanced game. It could be made a lot more fun, competitive, and just convenient by allowing mouse and keyboard. Xbox Small Tribes servers are already loaded with people playing on mouse and keyboard because they are Cross-platform. Anyone who's played console will understand the struggle of making gunpowder. *Press and hold* "One stack of sparkpowder" *Press and hold* "Two stacks of sparkpowder". It's excruciating. 3. TRANSFER ITEM OPTIONS. On the subject of making gunpowder, the whole “press and hold” to transfer one stack this is horrid. Making bullets requires you doing this hundreds and hundreds of times, whereas PC players can hold down T and wave their mouse around to transfer stacks super quickly. If we can’t have mouse and keyboard, something that would be great would be a “transfer x amount” feature. Or even a “transfer x stacks”. Small things, like when you added LB to take all, go a LONG way to making the game more convenient and streamlined for controller players. 4. DINO MOVEMENT. Jeeeeez guys this is brutal. I loved the “disable ally looking” option that you added, I’m asking you to take it a step further and give an option to turn off passive dino movement. I don’t want 100 wyvern tails dancing all over the place, I don’t want massive Bronto tails pushing me around. I don’t want my dinos to have an aneurysm every time they eat food. I know that it’ll look weird just having all your dinos sit there like statues, but its so worth it if it would help the framerate, even a little bit. If it’s simply an option, that puts the power in the players’ hands to decide if it’s worth it. 5. ACCOUNT LOYAL IMPRINTS. This isn’t a console-specific suggestion like the others, but still this needs to happen. You guys obviously feel pretty bad when your players lose characters. But rather than you having to deal with thousands of tickets, why not just give us what we wanted in the first place? I’m going to tell you right now, if you made dino-imprints loyal to an account rather than a character, people won’t care about lost characters anymore. Very minimal people care about losing tek engrams. Everyone on Ark knows someone that can get them another run through the Boss Fights. The biggest hit when you lose a character comes from the fact that you now have Dinos without imprints. On PvP servers, imprints are everything. Back when you guys set imprint timers to 8 hours from 3-4 hours, you cited that you were making the game a little healthier. If that’s still something you care about, you should give people the ability to hold onto Imprints. I’ve had tribemates lose a character and lose upwards of 500 imprinted tames because of it. That’s hours of work, wasted. Unlesssss, you guys come through for us on this. I know that the community agrees on this. 6.FIX ARGIES PLS N TY. Yeah I almost forgot, also not a console-specific thing but holy hell. Fix the Argent's picking issues.

Support this suggestion so that they see that we want equality with pc players. The console game is broken, boring, abandoned, we do not have mods and the officers are already outdated.

Do structures lag the game? Very recently, I moved onto an extinction server,and the ping on that server stayed at least at a 300 at its lowest. There were structures everywhere on this map, and we couldn't even move without rubber banding or glitching through the ground. Could this have been because of the large amount of structures that the presumed alpha's made? And if this is case, how do alpha's even manage to play with that lag? I would assume that some of this spamming could have been done on purpose to discourage people from trying to build up on the server, but it would seem purely enjoyable to play the game like that.

Where to make a base? So my tribe has finally found a friendly server in which we can build up without getting absolutely demolished in the first few days, and we for the first time have enough materials to make a pretty good metal base with turrets and everything. We were wondering though what would necessarily make a spot viable? As in should the base be high, accessible only by flyer, in a cave? etc... We are currently building a ragnarok and I we can't do anything exceptionally crazy like making an invulnerable underwater cave base, just general tips when choosing a bse location.

So the new patch just debuted today and S+ comes to console... perfect! My PC has been acting up and i can’t afford to fix it at the moment so I’ve been super invested in ark on PS4. The building so far has been a lot more limited but with S+ being released today I got my hopes up. Fence support looks so promising, especially for building large scale buildings on uneven flooring or even making cool angles in buildings, just one problem... I can’t seem to get them to snap straight. I must’ve spent an hour positioning myself in God knows how many angles to try and snap it and I probably got it to snap in every angle imaginable except straight. After doing some research, it’s not surprise there aren’t many forums explaining this since it was just released to console today. I know PC has “G” to force them to snap straight, just curious if there’s a console equivalent. The patch notes don’t really clarify this.

Egg Collector for console I think it would be cool to see an egg collector in the base game. A egg collector would make breeding so much easier and just collecting normal eggs for kibble so if we dont get to the eggs they wont spoil. Lastly you could just make it for singleplayer and/or unofficial servers so its not game breaking and it would really help people that play singleplayer.

Aiming system The aiming system is really gridy, I can’t shoot anyone on a ground dino at all let alone hitting them on flyers, they should work on the aiming system on console it, but by the look of things they won’t, there are alot of problems W.C haven’t fixed, like: bloom,rays,groundclutter setting,blinding underwater cave seaweed,slow inventory,baaad FPS at certain points,to be honest i gave up and deleted the game, too many problems, just not worth the hassle.

Would be really good to have a new map added to ark with a few new dinos that comes with it as this is a verry popular map and im sure people would agree.

Console mods At some point, can we get mods on console? Personally I play Xbox, and I'd really like mods for console, and I know a lot of other people would too. Watching YT I see a lot of fun mods, like Jurassic, medieval ark, settlements and so on all over the place. It really bums to know that I can use these whilst playing xbox. I know I could just get a computer and play ark there, but I don't want to have to buy everything all over again.

Some people can't transfer between clustered servers while others can. We have a cluster setup with a Valguero server and a Ragnarok server. Most people have no issues whatsoever trasfering back and forth with a transmitter, but a few for some reason have no options pop up to transfer to. One server is password protected and the other isn't, but the ppl having the issues know when to deselect the password protected box. We have been searching for days through forums and haven't been able to find an answer on our own so I'm finally asking. Please help!

Please help I'm at a loss Ok I need help here. Haven't been able to stay logged into my home server for more then a few minutes at at time. Sometimes it just auto logs me out before I can even get in. It's frustrating when you just want to play but can't because the game won't let you. I'm at a loss I don't know what to do. Is this an issues I can ask support for help or is there something on my end I can fix. This issues started around time Genesis dropped.

Shared saves Me and my sister started a splitscreen game together on our xbox one on her account. And I'm wondering if there's anyway I can play on that save without her being on it

Immersive taming on console? Could we get that immersive taming mod ported to console please I watch these gameplay videos of PC version mods and i only want one that's immersive taming on console it would make taming more realistic and fun.

You guys have done a very decent job on allowing Server Owners to modify the .ini files within Ark, but there are still many options which can be added in to allow major changes within the game and how things are played. Since console doesn't have Mods, modifying the .ini files is our only way to make Servers different and more fun! Also, there's many "hidden" ini modifications, which aren't shown on https://ark.gamepedia.com/Server_Configuration please add everything to this list so Server Hosts know everything they can currently modify, ie: AlwaysAllowStructurePickup Allow Reverting the Flyer Nerf Allow Custom Stacking / Item Weight Allow Reaper Queens to spawn on other maps than Ab Allow Cryosickness Timer Change Allow limiting what a Dino wants to be imprinted with ie only cuddles Allow a Specific Resource to Give off another ie Harvesting Stone returns Electronics Allow Craft-ability changes ie Crafting Cryopods in your Inventory, not Replicator Allow ORP Modifications ie Turret DMG Increase after a specific time (Current ORP is very bad and broken in many ways) These are just a few of what I'd like to be able to customize more in-depth on my server to make it different than others, please take some of these into consideration! Thanks and have a great day!

PS4 or xbox one is more active? I have been arked only few months ago. Now who do you think is more active xbox one or ps4 interms of server be it official or unofficial. No comparisons to PC please!
