I'm hosting a non-dedicated server, currently running 1 mod. I want more mods, and have downloaded some off the workshop, and can see them in Host/Local. I can add them with the in the menu, or even add their ID's to the GameUserSettings.ini, and they move to the added/active mods section, but when I open the server, only the first mod is active.The same thing happens with some other game settings, such as AllowFlyersCarryPvE, but I don't need a fix for that. If you need any other info, please ask. Any help is appreciated. EDIT: No idea how, but I just started the game, and it is working.

So I download the ark update and started playing around with the updated creatures. One of my favourite dinos the argy seems to have an issue that is new it can't pick up a moschop. I don't know if this is new and they're taking that ability out, or if the update messed up its ability to lift a moschop. Let me know if this is happening for anyone else or is it just me cause I can pick up Direwolf just fine.

My game is constantly crashing randomly. It's not a consistent thing nor is it a memory leak issue (like the one i used to have), i kept checking the memory usage through task manager and it wasn't bloating like before, so it's not that. Then i thought it was a temperature issue, but after 2 hours of constant play my max temp for both the GPU and CPU was around 65C, my CPU (i7 6700k) and GPU (R9 380X) can handle a lot more than that. I also only play singleplayer and the crash happens instantly, with the game freezing for about a second then "alt-tabbing" me back to desktop. It's still running but if i try to select it with alt+tab it appears as transparent and it won't let me go back to it, i'm also not capable of using anything but my taskbar during the time and i'm FORCED to sign out, there is no other option. It's not consistent and it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours to crash, but it is always absolutely infuriating and it is making me extremely angry, only rarely would i get lucky enough that the game auto-saved recently so i don't lose a ton of progress. I'm using Windows 10 64bit with up-to-date drivers. Help,please. I can provide screenshots if necessary.

So, today even after the 278 i came to the conclusion that rock drake eggs are still bugging at spawn. Its amazing how bad it gets. Currently i play unnoficial and am greatly disapointed with that. Anyone else having the same issue or can enlight me on pissible fixes??? Thank you.

I've been having this weird issue for several weeks (I think? I haven't been paying attention to the passage of time lol) where I simply cannot get into this server. It used to be in my favorites before it disappeared, and when I select "My Survivors" in the search it still doesn't pop up. My friends have said my dinos, garden, and buildings remain, though they're too afraid of the labyrinth that is my castle to find my body. We've tried inviting me back into the server, but once I click to join it just shows the "Attempting To Join A Server" box for an eternity, and proceeds to break the main menu. No one knows what happened, it just disappeared from my listings and we have been completely unable to get me back in.

For some reason my transfer between arks isn't working on our private servers. We have 2 servers, with the exact same settings, the only differences are the maps. I can select "transfer to another ark" at an obelisk, and it shows my other server. I'll type in the password and it'll begin to transfer me, however, the minute the game loads it says "choose spawn location" and I'll spawn in zone 1, and it forces me to go to the create a character screen. No "download a character" option or anything. Has anyone else had this issue? My server is being hosted by Clanforge/multiplay by the way.

I'm having an issue with Nameless that spawn inside our base, they just show up out of the ceilings and if I walk up to them with a Bulbdog on my shoulder they crawl back into an ceiling, anyone more with the same issue? And can I make a ticket for this? I'm on a Legacy server NA1112 and have my base in the Biolum area.

Me(YourBoiSlow) and my tribe(Doppelgangaz) were on a rock drake run and whilst getting attack by multiple rock drakes, mine got stuck under the surface of the map. Any way I could get help from a dev to release my drake from this glitch?

I decided to spend the morning collecting Wyvern eggs and searching for a high level poison wyvern egg to complete our set. On two out of 4 occasions I picked up the egg.. Ran for my life.. Got back to base.. and there was no Wyvern egg in my Inventory. I went back to the scar to make sure I wasn't going crazy and the eggs/nests that I had raided were gone. I appreciate that loads of new content is regularly released but whats the point if the base game doesn't work properly. Things like this tempt me to put the game down and not bother if all my hard work results to nothing. Please look into this.

Hello, I am writing on here to see if anyone has a solution or a fix for this issue. So, I join discord with my friend Matt, his discord is Matt#0758, and he then continues to load up his ark. It then results in all sound of discord just disappearing. After many attempts at rejoining and restarting discord, it appears to return to normal but a couple minutes later not only does the sound in discord go but as does his mic and this process continues on and on until he closes discord. He has the same settings as me in discord just to ensure that it's not just his discord, we have tried him loading the chrome discord, same result. The only difference between his mic and my own is that his mic is a USB mic and mine is a mic with the audio jack and the mic jack. So it turns out that I go to post this and my friend has only just decided to tell me that it's all audio in his pc, not just the discord application so I have come to the assumption that this is not a discord issue it's an ark issue any fixes?

Today I would like to make a suggestion to the developers at Studio Wildcard. Every day in Ark: Survival Evolved on all platforms, there are many bugs and a few glitches still waiting to be patched, as well as new ones which are discovered with the release of new updates. These negative occurrences lead many users to submit tickets to Studio Wildcard on a daily basis. These tickets usually take a while to get a response, which I assume is due to the number of tickets submitted every day. I personally believe that an intern program of sorts should be started, few game companies take this approach to help solve problems, however I believe it to be somewhat effective. Basically, I believe that regular players should be able to apply as a GM intern to help Game Masters solve tickets, there should be a high standard, and certain criteria should be met. In the process of approving or denying the request, how many times a user has been reported, their game logs, and other information easily available to Studio Wildcard should be checked. I do not believe that these interns should have all of the power that a GM has, due to admin abuse always being a factor. I think that there are a lot of fair and trustworthy players who would be happy to dedicate their time to helping other players solve issues they are having on Ark: Survival Evolved. Not to mention the fact that when Ark: Survival Evolved players lose primarily but not only their tames due to bugs, many of them lose interest in the game for a few days, weeks, months, maybe a year, or permanently. Tickets usually take a few days to get a reply, by incorporating this program, tickets would take less time to solve and keep players happy for a longer period of time. Losing these maybe small and insignificant amount of players every now and then may not seem like a lot, Studio Wildcard probably has the statistics. Though, the loss does add up, at least costing the company some revenue and ratings. Some would say that a better solution would be for them to hire more Game Master's to answer tickets, though, then those employees would have to be paid. The best solution in my opinion would be this program, it will provide Studio Wildcard with more "customer support" to reply to tickets in a swift manner, therefore keeping players happier, saving revenue, teaching players the ways of game development and management, and not having to pay another hired employee. If something like this were to be implemented, I believe that these "interns" should just be basic in-game roaming admins with limited commands, possibly as simple as just being able to teleport a tribe dinosaur that glitched through the map if they are given approval via an in game tribe setting from the specified tribe. (This way none of the "interns" can abuse this command.) I also believe that the "interns" in this scenario should be required to record the teleportation and capture specific information in the video such as the tribe name and the personal owner of the tame. I believe that any tickets they solve should be able to be reviewed with the video clip by a real Studio Wildcard Game Master just as a precaution. I do not believe that there should be many of these "interns", possibly one per server, maybe just a hand full for each map, game type (PVP/PVE), and game mode (regular / primitive plus). If the interns do a good enough job and prove trustworthy, I believe they should receive access to more commands, although, I believe as I stated above that there should be certain limitations on these commands to prevent them from being abused. These commands should only be essential to help solving tickets, not for the "interns" to cheat. If there are restrictions on the commands, video proof is required when solving a ticket, each command is logged, and an Ark: Survival Evolved Game Master can view the solved tickets, I see no real reason why this would be negative for Studio Wildcard. There would be no real way for them to abuse, aside from them using teleport on their own dinosaurs to be lazy, although, the video proof and the command log would be a dead giveaway and they would lose the "internship" including any and all commands as well as their in-game intern symbol when typing. I also think that if this should be implemented, Studio Wildcard should keep more in touch with their "interns" ("Boots on the ground.") and teach / train them about the game, possibly leading them to become real Studio Wildcard employees. I appreciate in advance any support this forum gets, many will give this negative criticism no matter how good or bad of an idea this is, for all of those who support it, thank you for being optimistic. Without creativity, optimism, and motivation, there would be no change in the world, or in this case, Ark: Survival Evolved. Sincerely, L75LKronosL75L @ Xbox One

Hello! In Official servers there is trouble with rare blueprints... Its a bit... uncraftable. Here you are example: Let's try to calc: - 3222 fiber = 17 slots - 2835 fungal wood = 29 slots - 7347 hide = 37 slots Sum: 83 slots + 1 slot for blueprint = 84 slots. But Smithy can carry only 75 slots. And we should remember, there is also (possible, never got one) red blueprints which should be more expensive. IMHO decisions (select one): 1. (best) Allow players particullar craft. For example, it requires 13 404 resources summary. If I put only hide it should be 54% of complete. Same with REPAIR. 2. Make maximum stacks size in Smithy and Fabricator x5 or x10. This worst option because ppl could use them like vault.

Hello! Im playing on official server. Imprinting dinos on Aberration has issue with uncraftable kibbles: - Featherlight Egg - Glowtail Egg - Rock Drake Egg And of course often dinos requiesting exactly these kibbles. So I beg you do one of 3 things: 1. Allow players craft it (someone noted that they're in game and possible summon on local server) 2. Remove these eggs from "request-list" of dinos. 3. Allow players make "skip" current request. (worst option) IMHO it's pretty important issue, because of players cannot do max imprint. Its only about LUCK now...

The artifact of the Skylord, and the artifact of the Clever do not seem to spawn inside their respective caves. I have run through the entirety of their caves without admin powers or teleporting, and I have not once seen these two artifacts spawn over a multitude of saves and attempts. It has been nearly three months since I first encountered this issue. I have tried everything possible to find the artifacts, including ghosting through walls to see if they possibly spawned above or below the ceiling/floor to no avail.

Hey all, I just wanted to know if there is any way possible to help out my situation. To explain, I have been playing Ark since launch and it has been a good time. However, ever since the release of Aberration, I haven't been able to connect to a any official server except for the few Oceanic servers. I can't even connect to my server that I've spent the last few months on. I have tried all methods of troubleshooting on my end of things to have no luck. Is this a Wildcard issue or is it just me? I play on Xbox and if I take my Xbox over to my friends apartment I can connect there but not at my place. Nothing has changed except the launch of Aberration. If anybody has any suggestions it would be great to hear them. It's just frustrating that I bought the season pass just to not be able to play the game with all of the work I have already put in.

Hey there, I was playing singleplayer on The Island on 13th of Dec around 01:30 AM (Amsterdam, UTC +1). My game then crashed. When I restarted the game updated into patch 275. My character was mindwiped, and suddenly my graphics were very glitchy. I'm not sure whether it is my fps that suddenly dropped or whether it is another issue. I was playing smoothly on High settings before. I deleted all ARK files on my pc, and reinstalled it through steam. I made sure all my drivers were updated, and checked file integrity through Steam. Still had the exact same issue. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Also I am not technical at all, and have no clue how to fix this. Any and all suggestions are welcome. As mentioned before, I used to be able to play on High Settings smoothly (I think around 40-50 fps), here's some more system details: Windows 10 64-bit Intel Core i7 2.50 GHz RAM 16.0 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M

Hey there, Our Abberation server in our cluster is having issues booting up with the abberation map. Is this a known issue? The config file is set to: serverMap="Abberation" Kind regards Hilde

My friends and myself are trying to play together on undedicated host and we can’t invite each other or join each other. Can you fix this please!! Also after last update I can’t type anything, keyboard doesn’t even display

Official Server- Rag. Picture pretty much says it all, but basically had the glitch where griffin flew off on it's own. Ended up finding it and on the way of getting it back (following, not on it) it ended up getting stuck on the other side of the world border. Calling on WC to help get my boy stepson out of the world border. More than messed up, game breaking glitch. Thanks, Zach.

I load ark attempt to play and crashes like this, it doesn't happen immediately though

Dear, WILDCARD Join ARK > Session List > Session Filter: Changing of the "Session Filter" has always been a pain and annoying and something that really needs fixing. Issue is you can't change the "Session Filter" till all of the server is loaded. I switch between "Player Dedicated ARKS" and "OFFICIAL DEDICATED ARKS" often and it should not take 10 minutes to wait for every server to load to switch the "SESSION FILTER", You should be able to change it at anytime and it would restart the search to the new preference, But it does not do that. It really needs to be fixed to allow you to change any search settings on the fly. Its unable to be selected though while any servers are loading and then once all servers is loaded then it will let you change. Sometime the process is so slow or it freezes that I have to restart the game. Thank You and Hope This Can Be Fixed.

Two texture issues on the Island, very close to each other. North of the redwoods, west of the volcano. Approx GPS 59.5, 26.8.

Hello, Wild Card & Players I am going to run you threw some points that are just horrible & other things that should be done differently because the game isn't perfect by all means. I will list of all the ideas and things I see wrong with ark today that should be fix, changed, or re-thought... 1) (Fix) Baryonyx - Well I am sure you all know how horrible the Baryonyx even level 5 or 15 is depending on map, How they are in water.. I can be max level and have pretty good flak on & i have a 90% chance of dying. There water spin stun effect is so horrible and broken. I should not die by a Baryonyx that level, But guess what it happens because you cant even attack before getting stunned again. Can't move and just getting beat alive by the Baryonyx. Total garbage! (Note: The Spin Stun Attack how often it can use the attack should be lowed by 50% so it takes 50% longer for him to do another spin attack. 2) (Fix) Ichthyornis - Really my items are gone if he takes it. Anyhow that is so annoying and horrible its one of the top hated creatures in ARK. The Ichthyornis should always drop non eatable items to the ground as a item box. Not completely lost for ever. Only thing the Icthyornis should take and eat and loose that item is food items. All meats, Kibbles, Berries, Seeds, Mushrooms, Flowers, and any other consumables. PLEASE FIX THIS! 3) (Change) Platform Saddled Dino Turrets - Platform Saddled Dino's should be able to have auto turrets again that was a dumb removal back in the past. Then the game was fun. Anyhow what needs to happen is just have it limited on how many turrets you can have on a dino depending on the type of dino to no more then 4 to 5 turrets at most. That will give them dino's more war purpose again. 4) (Change) Flyer Nerf - That should have never happened the way it did either. It was a slap in the face to all the dino's that everyone worked so hard on. *This is how it should have been nerfed: Speed should be go by dino type such as Argentavis it should go by the level of the dino if you have a breed level 300 Argentavis it should go much faster then a fresh tamed level 25 Agentavis. That way it will give more meaning for the bird breeders. 5) (Fix) Ark Transferring - Obelisk should be the only place you can bring tames out & loot out of. Loot Drops should never be able to pull dino's out of & equipment. Drops should be only used for uploading or transferring a character that is it. There is no cross-ark strategy for a guy pulling 10 giga's out of his butt cheeks 50 feet from your base. 6) (Fix) Ark Transferring - Idea number two: I think there should be a limit weekly & daily how many transfers you can do. Because being the little guy and someone bringing 10 to 20 giga's out of a loot drop by your base its no chance for a smaller tribe. It's exactly what ran me off the game and why i play it so much less now & the nerfs. 7) (Change) Tek Tier - Its just lame when you have guys on the map that starting out and only have stone building & you have these guys that have Tek and they want the server for them self's... Its just lame... *Tek Tier should have been just like Primitive + a Standalone game mode with low Tek up to High End Tek. They should never put guys with sticks fighting off guys with plasma guns... Its just stupid. 8) (Fix & Change) Menu & Options Screens - I am color blind I have 45' TV and I still cant read anything unless I am 2 feet from the tv. The blue menu they changed to is really horrible choice of colors.. Layout of then menu's are fine but I cant read anything in that hexagonal looking blue menu to craft or anything... You should be able to set up the color as you choose for the menu's.. PLEASE! 9) (CHANGE) Mindwipe - The mindwipe change is horrible that mean people have to make new characters when they shouldn't have too... If you want mindwipes to have a bad effect make them loose 5 levels each mindwipe they do. To slow down the use of it, but it should be unlimited again because that's just more characters the database has to hold because people want different builds. It was dumb making mindwipe's only one use per level. Thanks for reading and hope you read my thought... Really beating at them points because they hurt the game for me and I know many others that feel the same way. Also i will try to update and add more thoughts to this post. Take care & enjoy my post.

Hello,I am sure you know that when you hit a resource in ARK, a visual impact spot is visible, for me, this has vanished, and I am not sure what it would be under in the settings. I want to get it back, but I have no clue, can anyone please help me out?

Hi Survivors and possibly Ark Devs, I know i'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I play on Xbox EU OFFICIAL PVE SERVER number 100-and-something, 143 I think. At any given time there are about 10-20 people on the server, Nothing compared to the 60+ people always on other more popular servers. The issues: Severe lag at times, like, severe. Nothing to do with my internet service provider, all my tribe mates experience it at all the same time. On occation especially when up again a large angry dino that wants to eat you, renders the game virtually unplayable. Booted out. Randomly boots you out, i'll be on with some tribe members and it'll just boot one of them out, or me. Again, when you are battling something or in a dangerous area, or on a flier or in the ocean, this just kills you. Rubber-Banning, it's the effects that happens when a lag issue comes up, where you just go about your day, and the server doesn't seem to register the last 10 seconds, so you "ping" back to where you were 10 seconds ago, again, not cool. And this happen ALOT. Can anyone, ark dev, server guru, let me know if this a common occurrence on other servers? is there anything we can do as players? Will this be patched in future patches? On a seperate note, when other tribes have built up a crazy huge base and you fly near it and it pops into existence you get like a solid 3 frames a second. can anything be done about that?
