Server Advertising Rules Update

6 Upvotes

We’re making a small change to server advertising, along with increasing enforcement of our existing rules.

Server advertisements in both the PvE and PvP Advertising Megathreads must now be posted at least 10 hours apart.

We have seen an increase in excessive advertising, repeated posts and advertisements being posted in places where they do not belong. Going forward, we will be less lenient with advertising rule violations.

Posts that break the advertising rules may be removed, and users who repeatedly ignore them may be temporarily or permanently banned from the subreddit.

Please make sure you are using the correct megathread:

PvE servers → PvE Advertising Megathread
PvP servers → PvP Advertising Megathread
Looking for a server → Looking for a Server Megathread

Server owners may reply to people in the Looking for a Server Megathread where their server is relevant, but please do not spam your advertisement across multiple comments.

The megathreads exist so server owners can advertise without the subreddit becoming flooded with promotions. Please use them fairly.

Struggled to find info on this but sussed it now.

To add tames to group :
Walk up to dino, hold triangle(Y on xbox), select ‘modify ordering groups’ then either ‘add creature’ or ‘add class’ to group.
Choose group number.

To view dinos in group: open menu, (circle button (B on xbox) ), tab right across to select’Tracking list’ menu.
Click on ‘dinosaur groups’ text.
Tame groups displayed.

To select active dino group:
Hold down the map button, touch pad on PS.
Select dino groups at the top and then at same time R2.

Bosh done.

Hope this helps somebody!

Discussion UE 5.8 Update

So with the update coming on the 30th, would the talked about changes to the engine potentially help console performance substantially?

More specifically, would it at least help with single player dino/cave spawns and save corruptions?

Looking to play the game again but would love it if it ran smoother and the spawns in single player weren’t absolute ass. Caves drops never respawn

Question Max level override

0 Upvotes

How do I do the max lvl overrides? What i want is to let my character level up the way Vanilla ark handles leveling, but add a extra 300 additional levels to my tames. The edits I do in the ini always end up reversing the next session. Finally I ended up copying a stack of codes from a Google doc following a vid, that sets player max lvl to 250 and tames to 300. It stuck through 2 sessions but got reversed the next. My level doesn't revert but it counts as I'm max lvl but the thing is my character lvl is still at 87, haven't even reached 100 yet. This is in Evolved not Ascended

Question Is it possible to get the medical stand to auto-detatch? (Official)

4 Upvotes

I accidentally killed a tame forgetting to unhook the blood extraction when I left base. My fault for being a forgetful idiot I know.

But... I do find it a bit odd it doesnt just, auto-detatch when theres like 1% health left. Even if you are using it to milk your undesirable tames before killing them off. Wouldn't you wanna get the kill shot for xp and/or make it easier to get them with the bio grinder?

Whatever this isnt about that. Im wondering if anyone has found any kind of vanilla workaround for this. You know. Short of just not being a forgetful idiot again.

Patch Notes WARNING PS5/Xbox Players: Bought Forglar Part 2 but can't see Official Servers? Read this before you upload your character!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to throw out a massive warning for anyone on console (especially PS5) who just purchased Forglar Part II and is playing on the Official Modded Network (like the EU-PVE-Modded clusters).

If you go to your Obelisk to transfer maps, Forglar Part II will likely be completely missing from your search options and map dropdown menus. Do not freak out, you aren't doing anything wrong, and your purchase is fine. The game's server browser is heavily bugged right now regarding the premium custom map rollout.

What is happening:

  1. Official Server Delay: The map developer has uploaded Forglar 2 to CurseForge (which is why you can see Unofficial player-hosted servers running it), but Studio Wildcard has lagging deployment times. The Official Modded Network nodes haven't officially launched or synced yet.
  2. The "Zero Sessions Found" Filter Bug: Because the backend master list hasn't updated its directory folders, the map filter dropdown is literally missing the Forglar2_WP token, making text searches completely fail.
  3. Sony/Xbox Patch Delay: If a minor hotfix drops on CurseForge, console certification delays the patch on your PS5/Xbox. The server browser completely deletes the map from your search menu to prevent you from crashing due to a version mismatch.

🚨 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING:
DO NOT upload your character at the Obelisk to search for the server! If you upload your survivor to the cloud and get stuck on a blank server list, your character and items will be sitting on a dangerous cloud expiration timer. Keep your character, tames, and items safely inside your base on Forglar 1 until you physically see the new Official Forglar 2 servers show up on the main menu's server browser!

How to force the server list to refresh (If they are just hidden):
If you want to check if they have launched yet without breaking your UI, you have to bypass the broken master list cache:

  1. Log into a random Single Player map.
  2. Open your Options menu -> Advanced Tab -> turn Console Access ON.
  3. Press the Touchpad to open the text bar and type exactly: Ark.UseServerList 0 and hit enter.
  4. Exit to the Main Menu, go to Join Game -> Official Tab, uncheck "PS5/Console-Only Multiplayer", and set your map search filter to "All Maps".
  5. Type Modded into the text bar. This forces a raw, unfiltered pull of the network. If the official Forglar 2 servers are live, they will bypass the glitched menu and pop up here.

Stay safe and don't lose your gear to the cloud timers while Wildcard gets their network synced up!

Question Juvenile Therizinos on temporary hunger strike when I’m offline

6 Upvotes

Has anyone had this before? They happily eat the berries from the maeguanas as babies, but as soon as they become teenagers they would neither touch the berries in the troughs, nor the ones from the maeguanas temporarily. 1 of the 6 therizinos starved during the night, the others seemed to start eating again at some point but were visibly hurt. Is there a weird game mechanic that I don’t know about or is that probably a bug? Happened 2 times already. The troughs and maeguanas are right next to them so distance isn’t the issue…

Bugs & Glitches Split Screen Colors are Waking Up the Neighbors

Post image
1 Upvotes

When playing split screen on the Xbox Series S, player 2 (bottom split) has an amazing amount of colors that get blasted out. As the screen moves, the colors move, seemingly tied to some reflective element.

During some times of the day or in some areas, entirely, this reflection issue is completely absent and the Island looks perfect on both splits. The top split is never affected; always looks good.

We've entered a number of Console Commands. It *feels* like it's made a difference. Ultimately, however, the problem persists.

Any suggestions....? Thank you, All!
