What have you done with 303.1? S+ destroyed Hey there, What the heck hapenned in the last update? Nearly all our stuff is gone now. We have multible servers running for more than a year now and we had to keep S+ on the servers running because everything that was build before the homestead update was build with structures plus items. I know that this mod is outdated but there are a lot of servers still using it because of its features. The homestead update just cant compare to S+. I'm not a modder so i cant create my own mod using the open source files from the original S+ Is there any kind of fix?

Just got kicked from my SOLO tribe on 1063 So as I was trying to log off right before the roll back it I guess it or whatever and kicked me offline and when I came back on everything on my character was gone and I had been kicked from My Tribe on extinction which I am the only member of so yeah I really hope I can get everything back wild card I would really appreciate it considering how stocked full my base was there

BROKEN GAME AGAIN Thank you for yet again breaking the game. Ping all over the place causing lag and rubber banding on multiple servers sine the Turkey update. People are losing eggs, babies and dinos. But hey, is PS4 PvE and mainly OC servers, so since we are at the bottom of the pecking order, I’m guessing nothing will be done....

Solution to 11/27 update problems On 11/27 after a second update the community has been receiving several issues. There are several threads/posts related to these issues. In summary these issues are: 1) When connecting to a server Ark and within a few seconds Ark kicks the character 2) When connecting to a server Ark renders the character and partially renders a base and the environment. Also, with in this case Dinos typically do not have saddles and the character cannot interact with environment (example cannot open doors). 3) When connecting to a server the character has a high ping (common example is a ping of 255) then Ark kicks character Once the above problems occur, they occur consistently. Thanks to my friend “Star” on my home server theisland953 she put me onto the path to a solution to the above issues. This solution has been tested on 2 different accounts with some or all of the above issues. Solution: 1) Connect to a server you have never used before and create a new character. I picked a low population extinction because it makes the 2nd step easier. 2) Go to an ob or terminal and transfer the new charter to a server you are having the above problems with (in my case theisland953). Read step 3 before doing this step! 3) This is a critical step and must be done correctly or you will lose your main character (it is not difficult, but you must be careful). When asked if you would like to overwrite your existing character say NO (xbox red button). Ark will display a white screen and take a few seconds/min then your main charter should be displayed. At this point your issues should be fixed. I only had one server with this issue, so I have not tested this on multiple servers. I created this as a separate thread so that we (the community) can link it to all of the other threads/posts rather than reposting the same information over and over. It looks like I only lost a few juvi rex and tek quetzal but it is really poor on WC part when the community can figure out a solution to their problem. Maybe they will replace the dinos but am not counting on it. With that said I hope this helps. If this does help, please post a reply here so we know how well it works (of if at all). If this does not help please post a reply and give a few details about what you seeing. Also please link any other related posts and/or sticky this thread.

November 27th Amazing glitch Hello everyone, I'd like to talk about an issue that has been affecting so many people. I've seen on twitter, facebook groups and even on psn chat. Since november 27th, an update that occured during the night started a terrible glitch which prevents people from playing. When you log in you automatically gets disconnected over and over, doesn't matter how many times you try. Sometimes your game screen even loads and you can see who's online and half of your structures loaded, then a couple seconds later you get disconnected. The only way to play again is by getting killed by one of your tribe mates, otherwise you'll keep on the ground forced to know that everything that you worked so hard will be taken and that's all WC's fault and they won't do a thing. Did anyone find a way to fix it? Any opinions?

No update found 302.3 to 302.51 Hello, Sever OS: Ubuntu server 18.04 64 bit Ark server version: 302.3 Official Ark server version listed: 302.51 Looking at change logs, I cannot even find 302.3 listed From 302.2 jumps to 302.4 and then some. I am using LinuxGSM to manage my Ark. Running a manual update tells me I have the latest version No update available * Local build: 4433629 * Remote build: 4433629 https://steamdb.info/app/376030/ So I guess my question is: which is the latest version for Ark Dedicated Server (linux 29 Nov 2019) and how can I find this info in the future please? I tried comparing my local build 4433629 with the one listed on steamdb.info, but I think those are two different things, steamdb showing Last Change Number instead of build. Thank you.

Problem with I'm having problems to enter in my servers since the last update, I try & try & nothing.... Since Friday I can't...

Ark Switch update Hello Team 1.- I want to know if there is coming any update for Nintendo switch? 2.- Why remove the x2 in Taming, farming during weekends? 3.- When are you going to include the x2 of breeding? Thank you for your support.

Update v301.1 killed my server ( libaws-cpp-sdk-core.so) The latest ARK Upgrade killed my severs: What can I do? My Server is under Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) and I use the ark-server-tools (arkmanager)

The worst just happened to me I submitted a ticket but with this bug I fear that I just lost everything; all my imprints and all my boss fights tek engrams. I play with a few others but they don’t play that often so I had to basically solo the bosses or farm metal to buy my way into the boss fights. I sure hope the support teams can help. I’ll update everyone on how this turns out. Tobida came in releveled my character, gave my tek engrams back and did a world wide imprint to all my Dino’s outside of cyropods on the server. So basically fixed everything.

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.

No session / Cannot receive address Again since the update, cant join, find or receive the address of any PVP official servers. Nice, anyone else?

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?

New interface gone? Ok, so I know I'm not crazy. Last night I played and there was a nice new organized interface. My character had a nice new UI. It looked like you could have more then one surviver even... Today, gone. Everything seems still up to date. What happened?!

Primitive Plus: Engrams back, Animals gone Primitive Plus: Engrams back, Animals gone What a surprise, today's update finally fixed the Primitive Plus Engram problem on PS4 and without missing a beat removed all animals on single player/local game. Does anyone have a solution for that one (I mean besides abandoning this game in a dumpster).

Top 3 things everyone wants to come to Ark I'm curious to see what everyone would want to come into the game and I think if people made a list of 3 things to choose from would make it interesting These are what I want in order from least to most 3.TLC 3- mainly because I would want useless creatures to get better uses and if I could choose any 3 creatures to add to the existing list I would choose: The Megapithecus, the Areneo, and the Megalodon to get TLC patches with the carno, megaloceros, and plesiosaur. 2.Procedurally Generated Maps Update and Fixes-this mode has crazy amounts of potential but the developers abuse it and never use it, imagine being able to create a custom map and being able to see what your changing instead of guessing? Or setting certain creatures to spawn like maybe a all dinosaur themed map without things like woolly mammoths and etc. Fixing this mode will give the game endless replayability value due to players constantly creating unique and custom maps and the devs will almost never have to worry about people getting bored because they have unlimited things to try. 1.Scorched Earth Remake-if you've followed any of my other pages its probably not much of a surprise that this is on the list due to how urgently it needs to happen. Scorched Earth has lost its charm because of Ragnarok and by fixing this it'll show alot of people that they are willing to treat their fanbase right instead of ignoring everything we want plus people like me who have been loyal to the game deserve this as a thanks to all the ark players present who put up with the bullpoop because ark has alot of potential that their ignoring.

Recent Primitive Plus bug So ya, recently I made the update on ps4 that was released 2 days ago. Since then, every item and blueprints that belong to the Primitive plus mod just disappeared. Like my dodos are floating (my floor was made out of lumber). Can someone please say if this is also happening?

Primitive Plus Solo Game reverted, new game in Primitive still Standard I’ve been playing a Valguerro solo map offline to try it out; on Primitive Plus mode for extra crafting complexities and the neat extra design features. I updated today and now my game SAYS it’s loaded Primitive Plus Official on main screen, and my file is available, but everything has reverted to Standard. All my engram points were refunded, storage boxes reverted to old appearances, and my extra crafting stations (and TONS OF MATERIALS) are now gone. I suppose I should be grateful the game’s not totally destroyed, but I have no idea how to revert this save file back, or get those seeds/firewood/food/housing pieces I’d been saving back. I tried starting a new game in one of the other maps, making triply sure it was loaded under Primitive Plus Official, and it loaded with Standard engrams. Thought maybe it might help add more to the possible data. But seriously, this is a blow if the game is so unstable that a minor content update would completely wreck hours worth of work on a solo, not even server based game file. Would anyone have any possible solutions, if I can’t get my items back at least a way to reenable the Primitive Plus content again? It was genuinely fun to play and I’d like to have it back.

Black screen ps4 p+ I rent a server from Nitrado and it was working well my friends were able to play and build “amazing” bases they claim while I worked for past week and couldn’t play. Today is my day off and able to play but I am getting a black screen with noises of wild dinos near me however I see nothing but black. I have reached out to Nitrado and they claim it is wildcard that caused issue. I am annoyed at the fact that I am not used to this by now since I been playing ark since original release on pc. But is there any advice or tips that I could try to maybe fix it on my end just so I can at least feel like I did something besides sit and wait for an update that probably won’t come out til I can’t play again? Lol. It’s a primitive plus server with few server game.ini file changes. Mainly to add faster leveling and allow all engrams for solo players. We have tried taking the custom scripts out and nothing changed and even reinstalled ark on ps4 gone to a new internet source. I’m fully aware wild card has majority of blame on this but I still wanna try something to at least say hey I did this. Kinda like when you call your cell provider for phone issues and they make you do that long list of troubleshooting before they tell you “oh good news it’s not your phone we have a tower down” I think everyone has heard something like that lol

Update Restitution What's being done for the cross-play players that are negatively affected by the certification problems? The individuals that lost bases or dinos, or both, because they were unable to log on for most the day.

SHOW Primitive Pluse some love ! PLEASE SHOW PRIMITIVE PLUS SOM LOVE ! Add taxidermy and some more content like base defense and weapons for raiding , more types of boats would be great a prim plus SKIN CLOTHING SET. I know alot of people who would pay for a the dlc pack or even a PRIMITIVE plus season pass. Thank you for your consideration on such a awsom part of your game. If you ever need fresh ideas I have a million just P.M me.

Tek industrial Forge Ark official needs a Tek Industrial Forge like on S Plus

Back to start after update. All saved game content lost Both my kids where looking forward to playing Ark again after our holiday. An update was available which they applied. After starting the game they saw they lost all their saved levels/content and where back to level 1. You can imagine what this means for teenage boys! I saw we are not the only ones having this problem after the update. Please fix this asap!

Help! Valguero erased!! Currently playing on singleplayer in xbox, a week or so ago ark had an update, So I updated it, only to have both mine and my friends singleplayer data on valguero gone. We still had our survivors that we could respawn* with, but everything else, including my tames, buildings, and items were gone. I wasn't too bothered because I'm not too emotional or whatever you would call it towards this, I was planning to restart it anyway. I really just didn't care that much. So I made some really good progress in the past 2-3 days on valguero, i had a nice base, decent tames and had just gotten to around fabricator level, and as I was opening ark to play, it said it needed an update. The update was fairly quick and only took about a minute. I opened ark again and got into my valguero, only to be taken to the death screen, only this time with my OLD character from before it got reset. So I spawn in and I spawn in creative mode for some reason? I spawned a Griffin and checked where my base places were from both before and after it was wiped, and the buildings were gone. All of the tribe logs from before valguero was wiped for the first time are there, but there is nothing physically there, like when it showed my deinonychus I claimed but there is no actual deinonychus. Is there a way to fix this? I miss my stuff

Dungeon week 3: The Marshy Hollows feedback Jul2-Jul8 This week’s dungeon has some notability right off the bat. Reminder my feedback is from a brutal server. Challenge room creatures have doubled in level this week in most rooms from 450 to 900. There is now a huge issue on bringing eerie creatures back to revive. Server max level limits are 600. These challenge room creatures are all over level 600. This is now excluding content from us. EDIT2: They revive at level 1. It isn’t a total exclusion, but it does seem a bit unfair for people who aren’t admins/SPs with god console. It also eliminates stat variety in taming them. This dungeon is about 3-4 times more difficult than last week’s dungeon. I have no problem with increased difficulty... EXCEPT that rewards do not reflect this change. Still only 10 element for soloing a brutal dungeon. Still only apprentice blueprints 5-10 times weaker than the equipment I need to beat the dungeon. I am glad to get higher than primitive quality saddles of those not typically rewarded from caves or free gifts (e.g. kapro, platforms, procoptodon). Hell, I prefer to only have saddle bps (or new potions) over the other useless apprentice equipment that can’t compare to cave rewards. I get a cutlass from a chest... I’m using an ascendant sword with 671 damage, what’s the point of that cutlass now? The juggernaut iguanadon room has a fall through the map bug. This is completely unfair still. We need a mechanic to fix this so free entries and amber entries aren’t going to waste. Maybe a teleport back to the starting room of the dungeon? I’m not even going to risk trying the lava room because the timing is still off, and I hate falling through the map 90% of the times I try. Any issues/bugs/improvements I missed please post so we can help get the game where it needs to be for everyone. No whining/begging. More to come as I explore further. EDIT: The differently sized creatures have issues meshing into and onto us to where half of our attacks do not hit them because we are inside their hit boxes. There are already issues with guns hitting the targets properly but this also affects melee weapons and this meshing may be what’s pushing us through the floor of the dungeon. Dungeon creatures need to follow the same attack distance as surface ones, but if you increase their size then you need to increase this distance proportionally to avoid this issue. EDIT3: 20+ runs and no journeyman chestpiece yet.
