ARK Overhaul "Tame your Game" First I would like to make sure I apologize at least once for the times I have lost my temper on these forums... I get that this is a massive game and it is probably extremely difficult to keep it all running smoothly... but never the less we paid for a product that should work as intended and advertised. Especially when it was your decision as a company to create such a massive game and build such hype around that very concept, not to mention building, taming, breeding, etc... I'm sure we can agree on that. So my suggestion, and I can't speak for the whole community when I say this so I hope they would make their opinions heard in the comments... Is to postpone the next Genesis DLC, and the TLC, until a complete overhaul of the games internal problems is completed... Crashes, Bugs, Glitches, Optimization, everything... On every map... Servers AND Single Player... PCs, Xbox AND PlayStation... With it being ported to consoles by professionals that specializes in that specifically and can do it correctly... Like I said I can't speak for the entire community, but I'm almost positive most would agree... This game had grown beyond your grasp a looong time ago... and I don't mean that as an insult... It is a beautiful thing and I commend your concepts for growing into such a force of nature with a life of its own... But just like we do in this game for hours on end. Most of them being lost completely due to these same bugs and glitches... You need to Tame your Game... You need to get it under control and working correctly... From building, to taming, to breeding, to just exploring the map, gathering the artifacts, and fighting the end bosses all the way to ascension. All the way through each map... You need to fix ALL the MAJOR issues that keep you from simply playing the game as intended... Tested Thoroughly and Ported Professionally... There is no need to put this off any longer considering your almost at the games end life and have grown into such a vast company... unless you decide to add more to it passed the DLC and TLC which would be nice but I don't even see how you could... but I really believe all your future game's sales will hurt if you ignore this, and explode beyond your dreams if you actually listen... I'm pretty positive people would be much more inclined to jump back into the game for the last DLC and TLC, and for years on years afterwards, if you did this. I'm also pretty sure they would not mind waiting for the DLC to get something like this taken care of... It would probably save this company's reputation if you fix what needs to be fixed with ARK... I guarantee you will not regret it if you do and the community would love you for it if you gave the game a real "Tender Loving Care" Overhaul... Nothing has to be changed except it actually running correctly... Then Fixing what ever may go wrong with Genesis II and the TLC should be a lot less work and would open up a lot more time for you to focus on whatever your next endeavors are without trying to continually chip away at the bugs and issues overtime while also trying to work on future projects... It makes complete sense if you actually think long-term and I hope you guys really make the right choice. Thank you for your time. PS- Please don't just think of this in terms of money either, which most find it impossible not to do... Even though this would make you much more money in the long run... Think of this in terms of where you started and where you are now... and above all, the community that got you there... And if you do want to think of this in money... We have really gave you enough to simply get our games fixed...

Hey there, I just tried to setup a server on my ubuntu server and create an ark server. Im editing the GameUserSettings.ini file on my pc and upload it via filezilla inside this directory: "ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer".

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

Would any experienced players be willing to run me through master controller? So I'm a semi new player, well, actually new as I only got the game recently. I got it while it was free on epic and to my surprise, this game is more fun than I expected. I was having so much fun on Crystal Isles that I decided to get the Genesis DLC as it has some pretty cool stuff. I'm at the point where I have most engrams unlocked that is available to me, the only ones I'm really missing/want and need are the Tek ones. If anyone has the master controller boss unlocked, would you be willing to run me through it? I've seen some videos and ran through it once though the game crashed on everyone right as we were about to deal the final blow. I have a discord so if need be, I can join your server and or ark server to do so. I'd like to do it on the highest difficulty so I can get the most amount of stuff. If anyone is willing to take me through a run or more, I'd be really appreciative.

No moon or clouds at night on PC play anywhere. I play on the windows 10 version on my pc so I can play with my wife on Xbox. During the day the game looks fine. I have clouds and all that. At night though clouds are gone, I have a ton of stars and no moon. It is not like that on steam version. I have all my settings on epic. Is there something I’m missing that has the more “detailed night sky” disabled or am I stuck looking at the moonless, Uber starred sky I currently have?

Uable to play with friend on XBox from my PC on non-dedicated Hi everyone, I tried to search before asking this but I didn't see my particular question asked. Background: My son has ARK on his XBOX (and his own account) I recently got the free version via Epic Games, so I'm playing on my PC. We're trying to play together on a non-dedicated server, but for the life of me, we cannot seem to be able to connect. Sometimes, the game just crashes out when setting up a server.. We've tried it all: He hosts, I host, etc, but we can never find the servers we set up! It's really getting frustrating. Am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, A

Can't join/Invites not working Hey all, Apologies if this question as been asked/answered already, but I've looked everywhere and can't find a solution to this. I have raised a ticket with Ark Support (waiting for reply). So I have managed to setup a server on my Laptop using the "Win10 Second Account" method. My friend (PC) is able to join through the Host's Gamertag, but when I press join friend/accept invite I just stay on the Main Menu and nothing happens. We have tried with random servers and the same thing happens: I press join or accept an invite and nothing happens. I can join a random server and my friend can join me (or accept my invite) but since I can't find or join the server I created, this only works for playing random servers. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jay

PC to XBOX server I am trying to play with my friend and i had normally hosted the server on my PC is there a way to play the same server just hosted on the xbox?

Epic Games Official Mod Support Hello, can you add official ingame mod browser support to epic games like in steam? Because i can download mods but i cannot get them working properly with Epic Games version of Ark.

Primitive+ always results in Battleye crash I've looked around for a while looking for any sort of answer to this and found nothing so I thought I'd finally make an account here and try and ask directly. This is a bug I've had since I last tried to play Primitive+ when it first came out what, 3 years ago? The exact same issue. That's appalling, but that aside if there is a fix I want to know about it. Whenever I try to run just single player with the Primitive+ total conversion every single time it will spend about 20 or so minutes trying to load the map and then minimises the game, forcing open a Battleye installation window before finally closing ARK. I already have Battleye installed, playing without Primitive+ works perfectly fine, it knows I have Battleye installed then, but for some reason forgets when trying to run Primitive. I have tried: - Installing Battleye again as it asked me to. No difference. - Ignoring the window and closing it, but as it shuts ARK down immediately after it gets me nowhere. - Changing mods around - Restarting - Running ARK with Battleye disabled - still pops up the window. I am out of options, please help. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and meet all of the requirements for ARK to run normally (as it does otherwise without this conversion enabled.)

Unable to transfer certain Dinos that should be transferable Bug: The dino(s) listed below are able to be uploaded but cannot be downloaded on another map as they appear grayed out, furthermore if you go back to the originating server and attempt to download them there then they also appear as grayed out and unable to be downloaded thus resulting in the dino expiring in the upload. Affected Cluster: PrimPlusCrossArk3 *Other clusters may also be affected* Below is a list of Dino's that are not able to be transferred to either a specific maps or any map within the cluster. *Note: The dino(s) cannot be downloaded on the originating server once you have connected to another server with them in the upload.* [ Dino Name ] [ Originating Map(s) ] [ Destination Map(s) ] Baslisk Aberration All Maps Anklyosaurus Center/Island/Ragnarok/Valguero Aberration Roll Rat Aberration / Valguero All Maps Bulbdog Aberration / Valguero Center, Ragnarok, Island Shinehorn Aberration Center, Ragnarok, Island Featherlight Aberration / Valguero Center, Ragnarok, Island Glowtail Aberration Center, Ragnarok, Island Rock Elemental Ragnarok / Valguero Center, Island Ice Wyvern Ragnarok / Valguero Center, Island, Ragnarok *Val Wyverns Only*, Valguero *Rag Wyverns Only* Poison Wyvern Ragnarok Center, Island Lightning Wyvern Ragnarok Center, Island Deinonychus Valguero All Maps This may be a partial list of dino(s) that are bugged and cannot be transferred.

Unable to hide S+ Engrams using ASM (PC) I am having trouble hiding certain engrams using ASM. I've talked to Ark Server Manager directly, and they have looked into it for me and all the ASM stuff is correct - they're not sure why my engrams aren't hiding. I am running a dedicated host from my home. Can you please look at the attached screenshots and tell me what i am doing wrong? All the engrams i want to hide are always there! Thank you.

Aim Assist Aiming in ARK is very hard, especially for console players and using keyboard and mouse on console comes with alot of bugs and issues. I feel like an aim assist that SLIGHTLY slows down the aiming speed would be nice. Not something that locks onto players but that slows down the speed when you’re AIMING at tamed creatures and players. This option would of course be something you can turn on and off in the settings. Ps4 for example has no crossplay and there’s litteraly no one to bother with this. If it does, add it to all platforms. Pc players are of course going to be hating but please try playing with a controller before you speak.

Rockwell Anyone running Rockwell anytime soon? I am a solo tribe, and this is the only one I have not completed. I can help get whatever needed for it!

cross platform play between Xbox/PC Hello brand new to the game only been playing about 25 hours. I originally downloaded the game to my Xbox because my best friend has been playing it for years on PC. I have read numerous news articles on the internet saying that PC can play with Xbox. Watched several videos on the same topic. But I have not been able to figure it out. Together we went into official servers and into a cross-platform official server it said, but yet the two servers are not connected. We switched over to Xbox version primitive plus and tried cross-platform official servers and the worlds are not connected. So today I have created an account here hoping that this will be the forum that will help us resolve this issue. if it's something that needs to be downloaded to my Xbox or a specific mod that he needs to download to his computer or if it's just simply me not knowing how to use the interface or if it's not available at all yet. Please if you know anything about this topic or can give me any more help. Comment!

Transfers Disabled For weeks we have been unable to transfer on/off (PC) NA-PVP-Offical-GenOne-Smalltribes104-107. Havent gotten any response even though our tribe and others have posted outage reports daily and twitter postings. If you try and transfer to the server no character is in the cloud and eventually says unable to load cloud. If you try and transfer off, it does nothing when you click on another server. Really need someone to look into this as bases are decaying on other servers due to us unable to transfer!

ArkPocalypse not on the windows 10. I have played ark since game preview and I have mostly played official . As soon as the arkpocalyse servers came out , I thought it was one of the best things to come to ark as there's no huge alpha tribes that always wanna wipe you . But anyways I have recently move to pc and thought it would be fun to play ArkPocalypse with my friends who play Xbox . But I was soon to realise that ArkPocalypse was no where to be seen . Im just wondering if anyone has a clear answer to why this is as I no longer can have much fun with the game except getting wipe by large tribes on 1x official and 3x official . The only server we can have a bit of thrill on is unofficial where it's too easy to do things (we prefer the grind of official and early game Bob PvP).

“Assertion Failed: Array Out of Bounds” Crash So, if you saw my earlier thread, I was having LowLevelFatalError crashes on Valugero and Ragnarok. Somehow, I got that fixed. Now, though, whenever I approach an area from roughly the Green Obelisk on Rag to the Southwest sea, but before the Mine Shaft island, my game crashes and spits out the following error code: Assertion failed: (Index >= 0) & (Index < ArrayNum) [File:E:\build\Live310\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Containers\Array.h] [Line: 572] Array index out of bounds: 0 from an array of size 0 VERSION: 310.61 KERNELBASE.dll!UnknownFunction (0x00007fff4ddca859) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0] ShooterGame.exe!FOutputDevice::Logf__VA() (0x00007ff74a141eaa) + 179 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\core\private\misc\outputdevice.cpp:145] ShooterGame.exe!FDebug::AssertFailed() (0x00007ff74a14245d) + 190 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\core\private\misc\outputdevice.cpp:220] ShooterGame.exe!TStaticMeshVertexData<FColor>::GetDataPointer() (0x00007ff74a8b9801) + 56 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\engine\private\staticmeshvertexdata.h:56] ShooterGame.exe!FPositionVertexBuffer::Serialize() (0x00007ff74aa68a7e) + 10 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\engine\private\positionvertexbuffer.cpp:137] ShooterGame.exe!FStaticMeshLODResources::Serialize() (0x00007ff74ab2f8bb) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\engine\private\staticmesh.cpp:296] ShooterGame.exe!FStaticMeshRenderData::Serialize() (0x00007ff74ab30754) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\engine\private\staticmesh.cpp:650] ShooterGame.exe!UStaticMesh::Serialize() (0x00007ff74ab323be) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\engine\private\staticmesh.cpp:2076] ShooterGame.exe!ULinkerLoad::Preload() (0x00007ff74a1ddc83) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\coreuobject\private\uobject\linkerload.cpp:2985] ShooterGame.exe!FAsyncPackage::CreateExports() (0x00007ff74a1b7cab) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\coreuobject\private\serialization\asyncloading.cpp:1056] ShooterGame.exe!FAsyncPackage::Tick() (0x00007ff74a1b64c2) + 8 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\coreuobject\private\serialization\asyncloading.cpp:296] ShooterGame.exe!ProcessAsyncLoading() (0x00007ff74a1b9288) + 24 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\coreuobject\private\serialization\asyncloading.cpp:1580] ShooterGame.exe!StaticTick() (0x00007ff74a227b8c) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\coreuobject\private\uobject\uobjectglobals.cpp:303] ShooterGame.exe!UGameEngine::Tick() (0x00007ff74a91630d) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\engine\private\gameengine.cpp:1124] ShooterGame.exe!FEngineLoop::Tick() (0x00007ff7484cff51) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\launch\private\launchengineloop.cpp:2432] ShooterGame.exe!GuardedMain() (0x00007ff7484ca5cc) + 0 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\launch\private\launch.cpp:140] ShooterGame.exe!GuardedMainWrapper() (0x00007ff7484d14ca) + 5 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\launch\private\windows\launchwindows.cpp:125] ShooterGame.exe!WinMain() (0x00007ff7484d1619) + 8 bytes [e:\build\live310\engine\source\runtime\launch\private\windows\launchwindows.cpp:213] ShooterGame.exe!__tmainCRTStartup() (0x00007ff74bbe8da1) + 21 bytes [f:\dd\vctools\crt\crtw32\dllstuff\crtexe.c:618] KERNEL32.DLL!UnknownFunction (0x00007fff4faf7bd4) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0] ntdll.dll!UnknownFunction (0x00007fff50ccced1) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0] ntdll.dll!UnknownFunction (0x00007fff50ccced1) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0] I have done the following: - Verified files repeatedly through Steam - Uninstalled and purged the one mod that seemed to cause any issue, Play As Dino V2 - Set all .exe flies for ARK to run as Administrator I sent in a support ticket on Tuesday, but have not gotten any response.

If "Join Ark" is clicked the game instantly crashes I recently reinstalled Ark and every time I click the "Join Ark" button on the main menu it crashes with the attached crash log. In the log it seems to reference an E: drive which I do not have. I have tried verifying the files, reinstalling multiple times, restarting, deleting everything related to ark in the Steam folder, unsubscribing to all Ark community content, etc. The odd part is that I can play solo no problem so the game seems to be installed fine. If anyone could provide any insight or ideas I would love to hear it. 05.01-08.22.36.crashstack.txt

Crossplay - Same Account Issue PC XBOX Hi, I want to play with my son - PC to Xbox. He is on Xbox one, he plays on his account but the game is in my account that has game pass. I bought the windows 10 store version so I can play with him. Whenever I try to log into the game while he is playing the game ask to disconnect him. So, even thou we have the game avaiable from game pass and windows store we cant play together. Am I missing something? Do I need another copy of the game? It is starting to be kind of expensive just to help out my boy. Anyway we can play together as I have it today? It will take 8 more months till I need to re-buy gamepass so I could buy it for him.

Crossplatform I haven't played the game for a while but I am wondering if any of the game versions are cross platform with each other e.g pc with xbox or xbox with PS4 or xbox with windows 10 version Thanks in advance
