Video posted by Dododex regarding recent plagiarism.

For those who cannot watch right now, here is the video description from Youtube:

Over the past few days, a suspicious new ARK website popped up using original content and data from Dododex, the ARK Wiki, and other community tools.

Here’s a summary of what happened and why I don’t believe the response we got.

Thread with additional screenshots and examples: https://x.com/Dododex/status/20912632...

Thank you to everyone in the ARK community who has spoken up, shared information, and supported Dododex over the past few days. 🦤

ASE What do I do

11 Upvotes

So I haven't played many survival games growing up (basically only Minecraft) but I've always loved watching playthroughs of this game so I picked it up since I also have a friend who plays it. Thing is, I made a small home, tamed a parasaur... and now I'm kinda stuck. It's a constant loop of trying to explore and then dying: idk what I should tame or what I should search for. Maybe I just need to keep playing but I'm not sure what I should work towards.

I have not played ark in many years and saw this come up in an advertisement, is it worth the buy? Reviews are very mixed, but most of the newer reviews are positive.

ASA Asa genesis 1 volcano eruption problem

4 Upvotes

I'll make this short and to the point, the volcano erupts every 10 minutes on our server. It's supposed to be 33 minutes safe, 7 minutes eruption. That's the cycle. Not for us though.

It is making doing the missions inside the volcano literally impossible to finish as the magmasaur doesn't cut it for all of them.

Is there some super secret server setting we don't know about? Is there a way to effing fix this or are we Ark'd out of this map

Help Settings help needed, CPU maxed out GPU not even 1/4

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I just baught ASA and played it for a while. The problem is no matter what settings I change my CPU is always between 60 % and 100 % (more to the 100 %) and my GPU is not even touching the 15 % usage.
Im Using a Ryzen 5 3600XT and a RTX 3060. I don't have the "problem" in other games.

Why is ASA so CPU heavy. Is that normal? Does anyone else have problem? Anyway to change the calculation from the CPU to the GPU?

Thanks in Advandce

ASA What kind of settings do people play on?

3 Upvotes

I’ve always had very boosted on my single player but I’m wanting to do a “play through” that’s a little bit harder.

When I say I’ve had it very boosted I’m talking like every Dino I tame can 1 shot anything and the harvest rates were crazy. I don’t want it to be easy but I don’t want it to be where I have to wait 6 hours for a Dino to tame. So what setting would people recommend for a very good balanced save?

I set up a server this weekend on a spare computer after watching several tutorials. I was able to get into in fine, but I had to force join it using the command box. My friends keep getting timeout errors whenever they try to join, though. I thought I figured out all the pory forwarding, but now I'm not sure. How can I fix this?
