5 of our tribe members has Mac devices. We are not able to play since today (Aug 14) when all other platforms were updated. When will you update Mac platform?

Hi i cannot get into my inventory because i crash i have to keep going back onto the game after crashing a few times to get into it after that i am not able to open anything elses inventory which is hard to play the game. This has caused me to die as i cant eat and some of my dinos have died from hunger because i could not fill feeding trough. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2 UPDATES AND NO FIX HAS COME.i only log onto game so my structures dont decay and is difficult to play the game. I cannot stand playing like this even though i love the game which i play on console as many things require accessing inventory which i cant even do. In the beggining of playing random crashes occured frequently and now it is extremely less frequent and i could access inventory petfectly now i cant open inventory at all and wasted money on the game when i cant even play it.

So, I’ve been playing ark since it originally came out, and have never experienced an issue like this. For starters, I play on Xbox, mostly on single player worlds, this issue is only happening on Scorched Earth, not on my Island server. So it started happening about a day or two ago, whenever I leave the game, it will reset my map, all my explorer’s notes, and give me all the skins I have. Idk if it’s an issue with the save file or something, but it’s really annoying. It’s not game breaking or anything, but it is very frustrating. Any help is appreciated.

So. My tribe leader and his main character are stuck on a server that's down. Just looking for information as to why the Xbox OC629 (THE ONLY SE FOR OC) isn't showing up on any list no matter the filter. "No sessions found" and absolutely NO response to reports. I'm watching a good PvP player and friend consider giving up all the effort he's put in since day one on Xbox early access. Just a tiny piece of info as to why it's down and/or when we can get him back to do his imprints... Drake imprints, you know how annoying it is to see anything but 100% on a drake? I don't want my tribe mate and tribe owner to quit, leaving me with a tribe no one owns and a damn good grinder out the door. I get stuck with everything, and this is official PvP, we need all hands on deck, especially the owner. Get back to me, he's the one that got me into ark and this may be a reason to quit, given the circumstances, regardless of any fancy teal toys we have or element that was wasted on the transmitter that despawned in the ob because of this. Thankyou. End rant!

Hi, my name is Josh. I have given a five star rating because I love this game. However, I am experiencing serious problems and it has gotten dramatically worse since this last update. The game crashes only seconds after I load into the map, a lot of the time it crashes as soon as I open any inventory. Structures and objects in the world (mountains, trees, dinosaurs, etc...) flash in and out and come and go as I look around. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S6 with AT&T Prepaid. I have unlimited data on their 4G LTE network, however, I use a stable Wi-Fi that usually runs close to 800 mbps. Can you please contact me and help me work on this issue and get it fixed. I really want to get back to my Tribe, Drophammer. Thank you.

Me and my tribe were going to raid some trollers on our server, I had 22 c4 in my inventory. I went onto a bird to quickly scout the best spot to make our shields attack, I went back to land and then we attacked. The raid was successful we got in and caused serious damage. Then... the server crashed and rolled back. When I logged in I was in the sky on the bird, I had no prarchute so I just fell and died. Then!... for some reason... I had a 10 minute respawn time. Uhhh. What. I had no way of communicating with my tribe so the c4 was left to despawn. Not only is the c4 gone but so is the successful raid.

These FPS problems makes game unplayable. When we are at raid i got 5-10 fps. Its makes impossible to shoot with shotgun, sniper, and grab someone with grappling hook and bring him to turrets. Fix thats problem. What is 5 fps. And after all we laggedout

Hello ARK Devs I wanted to ask that when ever I start up a Non Dedicated my friend that I am playing with can not join. The Non Dedicated server does have mods in it and no one can join and it will just crash when it gets to underwater_south_02. When my friend starts up a Non Dedicated server it crashes when it gets to the underwater_south_02. We tried different maps as well. Is it because of the current update or the mods or one of our games? Please help!

Glitched Leeches I am having a problem with leeches being stuck on my dinos and i am unable to remove them by any means ( holding Y, fire, other person trying to remove it) it won't come off. I have seen a Youtube video that shows the same thing happening to their Therz. I am having the problem with a dragon. I am playing on a official public server on the Xbox one. Thank you if you read this developer person.

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

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.

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.

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?

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...

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, 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

Hey all, I've been putting in countless hours getting our first base set up and stocking up supplies so that we can get taming and exploring. After roughly 7 hours of hard graft I decided to call it a day. I logged back onto the server after about 24 hours and all of my shiny new weapons, ammunition and armour had disappeared! Literally everything that I had on my person when I logged off. I now have to put all my stuff into storage containers prior to leaving the server. It's not the end of the world but does get really frustrating. Anyone else faced this issue and if so Ark please work to resolve

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.

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.

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?

Whenever I try to open a loot crate or an obelisk inventory I crash, I have tried uninstalling / reinstalling ark, I have SUPPOSEDLY tried hard resetting ark (idk if it was a hard reset, hard to tell when its a sensor xbox..) and I dont know what much to do, I have found no fix, there is no actual code error or anything popping up after the crash, it just freezes and then kick me back into the ark main menu.

Been on this server for 2 days and the graphics never render correctly. The map is constantly changing shape and hills, rocks, dinos disappear. The lag is also very bad even when 12 people are connected. Please fix.... the issues with Ragna are ruining the fun totally.
