could not retrieve game address I was playing on the windows version of ark for a few days and then it hit me with a "could not retrieve game address" error every single time I try to join my server or any servers. Any fix someone has found? I'm fairly new to this game.

Raised dinos keep disappearing... I’ve been shrugging this off but it continues to keep happening now over the last two weeks... I’ve had 3 rexs, 2 gigas, and a magmasaur just disappear on me. The gigas I teleported to arctic East once there they were gone. Never seen again. Flew the skiff all over and had the server looking for them and they are no where to be found. Nothing in the tribe log about them neither. My magmasaur, my best one I did a metal and obsidian run in the volcano. Which I do all the time. I was carrying the magmasaur with my skiff headed out. Half way out my magmasaur went poof and disappeared literally mid flight while carrying it. Nothing again in the tribe log. Looked inside the volcano all over can’t be found. Lastly, had my Breeder tek rexs outside my base. Had 7 females and 1 male that have been there over a month now. Woke up and logged in and noticed the male and 2 females have vanished. Nothing yet again in tribe log. I shrugged stuff off for to long now I’m here to post about it. I have no idea what has been happened but but this was all within a week but the magma and gigas were only a day apart. So now I’m out my best two gigas, my best magmasaur, and my male and two female breeding rexs. Fix the game this cant keep happening. It’s not easy work to raise gigas or even magmas sometimes and it takes a lot of time. Now that time is wasted yet again. I’ve been so demotivated to play that I’ve been just resetting stuff because I don’t want to raise the stuff again. I came here to put a ticket in and can’t even do that. It’s nuts. I’ve heard from several people in my server that they also have had dinos disappear. What is with genesis making them go poof?? DILO

Selling paintings? Ok So I'm currently playing on an official "new" valguero PVE eu server and was wondering that if is there any way to sell paintings. Selling like going to a base place down canvasses there and ofc paint them. The only thing is that I cannot interact or do anything in other player bases, meaning I cannot paint. The question is that, is there any way of possibility to have an ability to build or just paint in other player's bases, ofc with their permission and understanding.

Rename player with quote and arrow in name. Hello, I know about command and such but I ran into a predicament. I had an admin switch my name and he switched it with quotations and an arrow in my name. We cant seem to find a way to switch it back. For example my name was "Bob<3". Tried: cheat renameplayer "\"Bob<3\"" Bob and didnt work. Anyone have any information that may help?

{Help} Lost character in Official Extinction Server Due to 255 Ping I transferred to this server (Extinction 1024) with a couple of my friends and when we joined we had a black screen for a bit until we finally spawned. We could move but it wouldn’t register our movement on the server so we checked and we all had 255 Server ping. This made the game unplayable and we all just lost our characters due to not being able to access any tributes or terminals. I have no clue what is causing this issue so i ran out of ideas and decided to post here after reading other similar posts on here.

Procedural Ark Deletion? So I tried setting up a procedurally generated or randomly generated ark map, but the lag was too much so I have just decided to delete it. How exactly do I delete it from the custom ark folder? I don't want it with my other custom arks like Ragnarok, Valguero etc but I'm not sure what folder I should go into my steam library in order to delete and remove it. Any help is much appreciated.

Cannot upload survivor I am playing on Xbox one and I lost my max level survivor on ark genesis when I tried to upload my survivor as I do a lot to transfer to another map. The game said I uploaded successfully and I went to the map to download her she was gone and not on any of my maps, the tribe log said I was killed by an x-megalodon but there was no evidence to support that. This happened after the anniversary update and I was upset but made a new character and added her to my tribe on each map and waited the anniversary update our in hopes I could upload safely then but to no avail. I just tried to upload my new survivor to the island from genesis and the character uploaded successfully until I went to island and download survivor was blank again, needless to say it's getting annoying because my friends and family also keep losing characters via the upload option. This last time I tried and failed the lost survivor managed to not be deleted and merely needed to respawn. Please fix the bugs on the current released content before releasing new broken content.

Bye Character. Wait New one wont work? So I was on small tribes 15. Just transferred over and The server was being dossed. Lagged out loaded back in character gone due to roll back. I made a ticket still waiting for assistance.. however I cant make a new character unless I want a default one. My slider bars arent changing anything other than hair an eye color. Ive deleted the game and reinstalled twice. Made multiple new characters to see if I can break the bug. Ive transferred to several servers an deleted all save filed on my PS4 for Ark. Nothing is working. I suspect its part of the summer event bug that needs fixing tomorrow but if not hopefully this post gets on wild cards radar because last time this happen was 2 weeks before genesis an I didnt get assistance ect till about a week into genesis an even than I was told Support cant help me due to it being server outage or something of that sorts. Btw my normal characted is still stuck on that 255 ping ab server 808. Its been like 4 months now. I truly hope something changes with the way this game is dealt with because its far to buggy to be a fully released game. An tbh allot of it is the community thay destroys it with duping,dossing,meshing. Anyway rant over.

Xbox Ark server Frezzing No matter what kind of server im in i eventchle my ark just freezes and closes and it's been so frustrating, i just wanna know if any other xbox players are having the same problem as well?

Seems to have been SOLVED by increasing HDD pagefile size, and/or launching in low memory mode. Not sure which since I did both at same time. But after that, no crashes. Constant Crash to Desktop Been getting this error constantly, to the point now where I basically can't play. This crash happens in game, not on server join. No mods. Been playing on a dedicated server with friends and this isn't happening to any of them. So far I've tried: -verifying files x2 -updating GPU driver -changing settings all the way down to potato -playing in full and windowed screen -running the game with -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -sm4 -d3d10 -running game with -nomemorybias -disabling any overclocking and monitoring programs -running game with -norhithread -setting GPU to specifically manage physx Windows 10 Home 64-bit AMD Ryzen 7 1700 RAM 16.0GB Single-Channel G.SKILL Trident Z @ 1596MHz (16-18-18-38) Motherboard ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING 8GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

Map Bug I had a cryopoded giga on me and I was running up a hill and fell through map and lost everything I had on me. Is there anyway to get a set reload ??

Squares in chat I do not want seeing squares instead of letters in the nicknames or chat messages from other players. I use custom localization "global". It used to be required select "Set launch options ..." on the "General" tab in Steam ARK Parameteres, and add a parameter "-culture=global" (without quotes). This in order to engage the necessary files. And now, with Epic Launcher, which file do I need to change and in which line to enter the cherished "-culture=global"? Thx.

Crystal Isles Keeps Crashing Hello fellow survivors, With the past few days of Ark's Summer Bash event starting, I've encountered quite a big issue. I've been running a non-dedicated server for Crystal Isles with some friends and once the update came, the game crashes before it can load. It's only Crystal Isles that has this issue. I have even tried opening it in single player, but it crashed then as well. Seems that Crystal Isles is bugged on PC right now, but I want to see if this is happening to anyone else? It gives me a LowLevelFatalError that I have never gotten on the server pre-Summer Bash update.

HELP! AutoDestroyDecayedDinos I have the AutoDestroyDecayedDinos=True and from my understanding, when the server restarts, the unclaimed dinos would be destroyed but it isn't working. Not sure what I need to do to make it work for unclaimed but, could someone help me out? Would I need to change the decay time (7days?)? Is there another way to get rid of unclaimed every server restart? Thanks in advance! - Demi

What goes in dedicated storage?? Okay this is driving me nuts and maybe someone here has a link or an answer What. EXACTLY. Can go in Vanilla Tek Dedicated Storage? I'm trying to build, and I wanted a list so I know how many to make and put down so I don't waste time, space and resources having to re-build or tear down. I have looked everywhere but cannot find a simple list of what can be stored in them. I don't want to use the S+ versions because I don't want to run into the S+ disappearing structures bug and lose everything I've stored in them (again). So can someone just... link a list? Post it on the wiki? Something?

Crash On Crystal Isles Map I don't know if someone else is experiencing it, but everytime I'm flying near The White Shoals at the south of the map, my computer crashes, it's the only map I had a similar problem and is the only place it happens, not even on Eldrich Island where there's a lot of rays and all of that. Someone knows a solution or is experiencing the same?

gethostname failed and cant find server in browser Since the anniversary update I have not been able to join any of my servers.
