""The required DLC has not yet been installed" keeps popping up when I try to join my Extinction server. I play through crossplay on Windows PC with my friends on Xbox. When I go to the Microsoft Store, I check for updates, it says everything is updated. It says Extinction is downloaded too. I don't know why it won't let me play.

CROSSPLAY SONY AND MICROSOFT Crossplay Now that Sony has agreed and opened up to cross-play and game companies are starting to make there games cross playable would it and could it be possible for Ark to do the same? There are many reasons to do this it wont just bring players back to the game but it will bring players in, they will be attracted to the reason that they can play with there friends even if the friend does not have the matching console. And this will most likely lead to more sales and more attractions there was a tweet that stated that cross-play was ready for PlayStation but Sony wont allow it but now that they do would it be possible to do it now. sincerely, former Ark player and savior

Is there crossplay / crossplatform in ark between PS4 and switch So I did some research, and found both that the Nintendo Switch is able to perform crossplay on Ark with PS4 and some websites said it wasn't. Can someone pls confirm with me whether or not it's possible because my brother wants to get ark on his switch but won't get it if he can't play with me on my PS4.

No Server for OC-PVP-CROSSPLAY Cluster Hey guys, Currently there is no OC Crossplay Genesis server, meaning the cluster cannot access this content. (There is also no map for The Center either) With all the servers being added all over the place it seems they've forgotten us.

Crossplay for PS4 It appears that the admins at Play Station are feeling better about crossplay and aloning other games to have it. So will ark ever have crossplay or will it be like the other games. Also Studio Wild Card said a while back in 2017 that they were working on it and it was completely possible.

Cross play between Xbox, PS4 and PC available yet? Hey guys, I found a wayyy outdated thread that was wishing for cross play between Xbox, Ps4 and PC. I was wondering if anything had happened as of yet regarding the cross play issues with Sony and PS4? I have a few friends and each of us have different platforms to play on, so it’d be really nice to be able to tribe up with them all!

EU-PVE-CrossPlayOfficial-GenOne1321 - Lost Character So i decided to transfer my character from my xbox official the island crossplay server to EU-PVE-CrossPlayOfficial-GenOne1321. Been playing a few hours to have my account disappear from the server after an hour or 2 of not playing. At the same time my old server has now disappeared off the server list. The game crashed during a teleport but I was fine to log in after. After then logging out again and back in, my character has been lost. I just hope there's a way to get it back. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to get my character.

Genesis Cross Play and Play Anywhere I run a server on my pc for my friends and I to play on from Xbox. I purchased the Season Pass yesterday (25th) from the Xbox ready for the update. Xbox updated fine but I can't install it on my PC. Looking at some comments it says it's not available on 'Play Anywhere' and I'm guessing I need to purchase the PC version to host the server? Anyone else having this issue or know of any work around? Does Genesis even support crossplay and Dedicated Servers? Any guidance would be very much appreciated

Can't connect to Windows 10 hosted dedicated server. My friend has been running a Windows 10 dedicated Xbox server for awhile now, but since Sunday (1-26-2020) everyone has been getting 'Join failed' messages and been unable to connect even though the server says it's running. Has anyone else been experiencing this or knows a ETA on a fix? Thanks in advance for all replies.

Prim Plus Crossplay Currently on Valguero since the update where we can now obtain Deinonychus they are currently invisible to Windows10 players. Windows10 players are also unable to place structures since this update also. I have switched over to Xbox to confirm this is a Windows10 error after a fresh install did not rectify the problem. Is a fix planned?

Xbox One & Windows 10 Crossplay Private Dedicated Server Issue I've been experiencing a Xbox One & Windows 10 Crossplay Private Dedicated Server Issue after the recent game updates. Setup my own Private Dedicated Server right before the Turkey Trial 3 (I think the game was on 792.2) After the game updated on Windows 10 and Xbox One to the Turkey Trial 3 my original Xbox One will no longer connect with an invite. My PC running the Windows 10 version is the Dedicated Server. I send invites from the PC to my Xbox Ones. My Xbox One S connects immediately after an invitation to join is accepted. My Xbox One (original) doesn't do anything other than load up the game. It never loads to join the server. Before the Turkey Trial 3 it did the same thing my Xbox One S currently does. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Side Note: It doesn't seem to create any issues for my Xbox One S but it seems weird that the versions don't match right now. My PC running the Windows 10 version says it's on 793.16 and both of my Xbox Ones on 793.34.

Server is on Primitive Plus btw for immersion. Discord Link is https://discord.gg/uETgCjQ Click Here to See the Trailer for The Forgotten Vale

Play anywhere pc crossplay So I just got a gaming PC and downloaded Ark because I own it on xbox. Every single server I try to join says that the host does not allow cross play with your platform. What ones can I join? I'm really confused. I tried the ones that say cross play and the ones that say xbox.

PS4/Xbox/Pc crossplay? So I know that Xbox/pc have this in place also that they've had issues. I also know that ps4 is now opened to cross-platform play and it now depends on the game developers if they enable this option. I just now saw a note from kotaku that after some time mine craft is getting this. My only question is if this will actually be possible because of the mods. Ps4 does allow certain mods but not as opened and freely as you would see in the pc for example. What do you guys think? I would really like to see this but is it really possible knowing wildcard

Windows Store PC Version @Jatheish @Cedric @StudioWildcard @Jen(Please help fix your wonderful game ) PLEASE DON'T MERGE MY POST! IT GETS LOST AND FORGOTTEN LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS! I HAVE SPENT OVER AN HOUR MAKING THIS REPORT! THANKS! I just thought I would make everybody aware of the state of the Windows Store version of Ark: Survival Evolved that Wild Card has been neglecting since 2017. I have played the Steam version of the game for over 6,000 hours on my main account, and across all of my crafters and alts. I came to the Windows Store version for a new experience and to play with my many Xbox friends that play Ark. I have played about 150 hours in total and this is my experience. My goal is to bring awareness to the issues so that Wild Card can patch them. Just to bring you up to speed quickly, Wild Card released a cross-play version on Ark: Survival Evolved on the Windows Store in 2017 that allows you to play with your friends on Xbox. This is extremely cool despite the issues I'm about to talk about. I will number them just so it's easier to read. 1. To start things out, the game starts okay with some minor bugs on the main menu. To press play, you have to hover your mouse to the right of the play button to even press it which defintely isn't intended. Very easy to work around, not a big issue. 2. Nearly EVERYBODY is plagued with the issue that keeps you from joining servers. This is a HUGE issue! You get an error that most of the time comes up, but not all the time. That error is "Cannot Retrieve Address". If you go and read the 2.5 star review ratings for the game, you will see that MANY people have this same issue and it hasn't been fixed for over 3 years now. You will get this error 95% of the time when joining servers and there is no fix. It happens for everybody at some point when playing the Windows Store version of Ark. 3. If you actually end up getting into a server, you will notice that when you type in chat, it's extremely laggy when you press Enter. It lags for about 1 second, sometimes longer and is even known to crash your game. 4. Probably the 2nd most annoying thing for me is that there is NO rain sound or music for some reason. I'm not sure why this bugs me so much, but simple things that immerse me into the game more aren't there, so I'm bugged by it. 5. The 2nd worst game breaking issue in this game is that the game stops rendering objects as you traverse the map (or when you spawn in a completely different area). The game stops rendering COMPLETELY after you die the first time or run around for a long period of time. The annoying work around for this is to rejoin. The problem with this is that if you were lucky enough to even get in a server, you will probably end up with the "Cannot Retrieve Address" bug for hours at a time will probably never be able to rejoin: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/422195082410852352/636007152666017811/unknown.png 6. This is probably the worst issue out of all them... the delayed updates between Xbox and Windows Store... I cannot tell you how many times I have had people complain about this issue. Wild Card has said that it really isn't their fault because of the delayed time it takes for Microsoft to certify their updates, which is understandable, but SOMETHING needs to be done about the delayed updates! PC PLAYERS CAN'T CONNECT TO A SERVER FOR UP TO A WEEK AFTER EVEN SMALL UPDATES/HOTFIXES are released!!! (this frustrates me so f***ing much, come on Wild Card!) If you have a base of your own, on ANY PvP server (or PVE if you're raising animals, etc), you are most likely going to get wiped almost immediately because you can't be there to protect yourself. Wild Card NEEDS to find a work around for this, it makes PvP servers UNPLAYABLE! (This was posted April 1st, 2019 regarding the rendering issue. No action has been taken at all since he posted. Unbelievable.) @Cedric 7. My last 2 issues that I will complain about: 1. even if your mic is turned off in-game, it CONSTANTLY streams to everybody out loud no matter what you do. Every body has this issue. You basically can't talk in proximity chat at all because of this issue. 2. there's an issue that every map has where shadows completely disappear and the game will get extremely bright, and then go back to normal. This happens at random and I don't know of any work arounds. This gives you extreme head aches and could probably cause seizures. (also, the lightning in the game is bugged. it flashes extremely fast like the shadow... it's probably even worse than the shadows!) I might add more issues as I find them. There's several smaller things that I won't even bother adding. Here's to hoping my thread doesn't get merged (lost forever) into a existing thread and that Wild Card will fix or address these issues ASAP. Thanks! Here's a compilation of people complain about the delayed updates, just to show you how SERIOUS the issue is. If Wild Card can't fix it, they need to remove the game from the Windows Store. They're stealing fun from people the longer they ignore these issues. Probably 100 more people complain on the Microsoft Store about these issues.

Windows Update Hey I updated my xbox game this morning but still don't see an update in MS store. Currently unable to join my private server. Any news on when this update drops?

PS4/PC Crossplay now available. So i hear that Sony are now allowing cross platform play, does this mean Ark will become playable between PC and PS4? I ask this because i have brought 2 new PS4's for my kids and im considering getting another 2 so that we can have our own server and all play together BUT if cross platform is coming for ARK then i would be able to set up a server on my pc and all of us connect and play i would imagine. Very keen to know if anyone has heard anything in regards to Ark becoming cross playable with PS4/PC
