Can you stop ark updating on Xbox one I play split screen Xbox one, i am not on any servers. Is it possible to stop ark updating as it:. Takes up storage And is frustrating when I log on and find I have to fit through an hour of updates which make not difference to the game for me. Is the solution in Xbox or ark settings

New updates stopping when the “Ready to start” title pops up Here recently I have not been able to update ark because once the game reaches “Ready to start” the game stops downloading and I’ve talked to numerous Xbox support people and they still cannot fix the issue. I can update any game perfectly fine with 20mpbs but when it comes to ark it won’t move at all. Is there something wrong with the launch of the update or do I just have terrible luck?

QoL Update RIP ? Soooo Genesis is out but almost nothing from QoL list there so what with QoL list ? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oMHjs3UiR2OwvUn0V6QQogL4uT0XRtxrua8Gs6mFa5M/edit#gid=0

No ark mobile update yet? There has been a long time since the game was updated (at least for me, because I check the appstore a lot for new updates). Are the dev’s still working on new features or enhancing the existing ones (Besides of the weekly dungeons of course)? I really want a new ark mobile update. There is a lot of things I think the dev’s can work on (personally I want better snap points for a better base construction experience, and more steps than just the stone ones).

"Host Connection Time Out" issues Since the v795.4 update (XBox), I am unable to stay in any session for more than a few minutes without a "Host Connection Time Out" error message. When will this be resolved? Lost armor, tamed dinos, and items can't easily be replaced....Is there a fix? Will there be a resolution to my lost items? I have already sent in a report.

What WC Really needs to do Ok, first I'll start by saying this isn't a rant, I'm not ticked because I personally have lost items, characters, dinos that I've spent a lot of time on. This is for EVERYONE playing Ark. WC needs to read concerns of people playing the game. I highly doubt they'll even read this and they'll never attempt to reply to something like this either. But whatever, at least we can try! We are the community playing the game. We should have a voice! Ark is barely playable anymore. Especially during events. These issues should not be happening. I mean, server prices have dropped drastically. Ram, hard drives, and networking equipment are getting so very cheap. WC is a huge company with many smart people. They DO have great developers, despite what some may think based on how their servers run. Based on how their servers run, one would honestly think they have a barn with mice in little wheels creating power and when they get tired, servers start going down. That's what it sure feels like. This is horrible management and it makes no sense at all. As I said WC is a huge company. A game should not run this badly. I have never played a game where there are 30 seconds to 1 minute delays every 15 minutes!! What is that all about? Incremental backups are really not that hard to setup (I've done it myself with Terabytes and Terabytes of data) and should not even be noticed during gameplay. Many super successful games have no problem with this. Stop creating new content and fix what you already have. WC owes it to the players to fix what they have already made. It's really sad in all honesty to see what players are saying in global chat on random official servers. You can go to any random official server on the game and see what people are saying and it's ALL the same. During this Love Is In The Air event, all I saw is stuff like "OMG all my dinos are podded again", "I just transferred back and lost my character", "I gave imprints for 20 minutes and now I have to come back and do them again", "I came on earlier for imprints, server rolled back, imprints were never done and I didn't know cause I went to work, came to do next imprints only to realize previous imprints didn't go through!!", "I was flying back home and crashed, when the game came back up, I was dead, can't find body, dino died, I lost everything I had on me!" It's bad. I mean really bad! Anyone that plays on Official is going through this. We all take it, complain for 10 minutes and then go on with our gameplay. What do we do? Quit? Nope, no one is really going to quit unless they are new and haven't had an established setup with tons of dinos. I'm not going to quit. I love this game! It's fun, challenging at times, the events are neat (when they aren't crashing every 30 minutes), and I really do like the whole community of the game and ideas people come up with. That's why they owe us fixes. That's why they need to fix things! The loyal long term players deserve this including new people if you want to keep them playing too! Come on WC, read what the people want. Please take care of your amazing community!

Linux server (server, not client) updates always behind. Should I worry ? Hi, I rent a dedicated server and my host (LogicServers) uses the Linux version for my server. I don't have control about choosing Windows or Linux. Of course, I use the Windows version of the client, like my friends who play on my server. No problem so far, and the service provided by my host is great. But I noticed that the updates for Linux servers are always behind the updates announced in the changelog. And right now, my server version is even behind my client version : my server is v304.451 while my client is v304.453 and official servers are v304.455. I can play, since differences between server and client versions are only in the last digits. But I start to worry because what will happen if my client gets a major update and my Linux server will get it only days later ? I suppose my friends and I won't be able to play. For admins in my case, do you remember if such a situation happened before ? Last question, should I ask my host to switch to the Windows version ? Are there any advantage (stability, performance) for choosing Linux server over Windows server ? Thanks in advance for your insight.

Future TLC ideas? Anybody got any good ideas for TLC updates? Such as which dinos need TLC and what would you change/add to the TLC’d dinos?

Can’t stay on any servers I’m sure some of you are experiencing the same as I am. I cannot get onto any of my 4 servers, (Val, Ext, Ab, or the Center.) My friends also can’t get on today, I was however able to get on Ext. for appx. 30 mins before getting kicked off again. Took a thousand tries to log in, sometimes it automatically boots me back to the main screen, and other attempts I’m loading in and base is half gone and critters have no saddles, then booted again. My friends were able to get on Ab with me lass night but so far no luck today. Apparently we 3 have had this issue since they did a small update. Idk what the hell is going on, but some damn way to spend my days off work for thanksgiving Anyone else experiencing this too? So annoying and I’m sure some of y’all have lost some stuff due to this mess WildCard, please fix this issue.

I've been away for a while. What did I miss? Hey there everybody. I'm a pretty big fan of ark and have a bit over 300 hours logged in the game, but since I've gone to college I didn't have room for my PS4 in my room. That's led to me being absent from the game for almost exactly a year now. I've been trying to keep up with the Community Crunches and it looks like the community;s thriving which is good to see. So I'm aware of the grand-scale stuff. Valguero looks super cool and I'm THRILLED that they FINALLY added another actual dinosaur in the form of Deinonychus. I'm also aware of the Genesis season pass and am happy that they're doing it. Are there any smaller-scale updates that I missed? Content additions? Bug fixes? Is it finally a safe bet to transfer a character and dinos between maps?

Minimum requirement updates? Ok so I got a massive kick in the teeth when I tried to boot up ark on my tower. The game would not launch due to the minimum requirements jumped. I've been all over the net to find the new minimum/recommended hardware but I have not found a consistent list. I've ran several compatibility tests and I should at least meet the minimum and yet the game still won't even launch to the start screen. Can someone please update the minimum/recommended hardware list on here so I can update my machine before August? I'm heading out of the states and I need to make sure this thing is capable of at least playing solo.

I got ark for the Nintendo switch when it first came out, and a few weeks ago the homestead update came out along with the kibble re-work, and I was wondering why the Nintendo switch did not get the update. Please let me know if you know if the Nintendo switch will get any updates at all, and when. Thank you in advance!
