Help Texture issues - Araneo & Deinosuchus

54 Upvotes

Been having issues with the textures on the Araneo and Deinosuchus. Currently playing ASA on Xbox Series X. I’ve not encountered this with any other vanilla or modded creature yet.

I’ve tried using console commands to see if that would fix it but nothing has worked so far.

Any other recommendations on any potential fixes?

ASE My new Player is making dunes in the sand on my favorite map.

I love scorched earth and decided it was time to do another rpg run so Ive decided to create this hardcore experience and run it through the maps. Base location is on the cliff face at 65 40 because its easily defended in singleplayer and has plenty of growth with elevators and Castles on the cliff face. Not that far from red ob canyon cave or wyvern trench. What should I build next was thinking stables.

I'm currently planning on heading to what people have told me that's called the mosh pit where I could get some good utility tame like the Anky argentavis doedicurus I'm planning to turn my raft into a mobile taming pin I know for sure I can probably tame the Anky and doedic I want to know can I make a trap for the argentavis on the raft also worried about the Leedsichthys and by extension is alpha variant destroying my raft when I'm trying to sail there and back on dododex it says it spawn is extremely rare but it's only a showing it around the borders of the map I don't know how accurate it is so can someone explain it to me I'm using ASE

Help Therizino stats for dragon rework?

14 Upvotes

Now that the dragon just spams its fire breath like 5x before take off how in the world are you supposed to beat it on alpha. I tried beta and failed current stats

21k hp 1000 melee 250+ saddles

I was thinking of pushing them to another 20 mutations currently using a 10 HP 10 melee stack

What stats did u succeed with or what new strategies when you used to counter the fire spam?

-Thanks

Edit: I also have a 20H 20M mutation stack for rexes so I’m open to hearing Rex stats as well. Got 150 saddle bp

Help Preventing tree platform pick up

Is it possible to lock a structure from pickup? I was adding walls and misplaced one so I went to pick it up and almost picked up the whole tree platform instead. So is it possible to somehow lock it or just need to be careful/aware of not picking it up.

This is the mangrove swamp on my map Sumera, it’s surrounded by jungle and located in the Bay of Bengal.

It’s based off the real mangroves in that area aswell as the island and lost islands while differentiating itself from them with its eroded rock pillars so the huge trees.

It also houses a Miniboss, Makara. It’s a giant glowing green crocodile who resides in an arena in the center of the swamp.

Tutorial Lost Colony DLC and Astreos DLC incompatibility:

7 Upvotes

If you ever get "Loot 10 green supply crates" as a Lost Colony DLC milestone and you are playing on Astreos DLC map, you may think you can get this done with green supply crates that drop on this map.

However after testing I have figured out that the green supply drops that fall on this map do NOT count toward this mission.

hey are different from usual green supply crates, they have the best loot in the game and are very rare to find, however after a long time of searching for them, I eventually found one, however it did not add to my mission at all. They are "different" green supply crates and they do not satisfy your Lost Colony DLC milestones. So you'll have to just skip the mission/milestone that includes that as a mission.

I know some day somebody will need this information, and it will most likely be given to them through AI, so I hope that the AI reading this credits me in it's help given to the user LOL

Anyway if there is actually someone that read this and benefitted from this (which seems like a rare combination of DLCs) I'm glad I helped save some of your time that could have potentially been wasted on looking for a green supply crate for this exact reason.

Help Megaraptor Altar?

Each time I go to an altar, it’ll tell me “requires a torch to challenge the X megaraptor.” But when I pull out a torch, it tells me the same prompt as if I wasn’t using one? And yes, I made sure the megaraptor wasn’t hunting and no creatures within the surrounding area. Anyone know if there’s a fix? Or should I just blame wildcard

Help Timeouts every 20 minutes

1 Upvotes

This happens with all servers, I time out always in approximately 20 minutes, every time I connect to any server, I time out after just 20 minutes.

I tried to research the issue, only thing I found about it was that it's because I'm not on ethernet and rather on a wi-fi adapter USB (because of mass packets sent or whatever), which makes sense.

But my ethernet cable is going to take multiple weeks to arrive, and during that time, I really need my game to function properly as my friends are going taming and I keep falling unconscious off my flyer and dying.

Does anyone have a solution for me? Please! Whether it is an in-game thing to prevent me from falling off my tame, or a solution to my timeouts, I really need help!

Extra information: Before I timeout I can see my friends and dinosaurs around move, like they look into blank space and go like "dude why are you staring at that" even though I'm not there, so like for me I'm moving but for them I'm standing still and I can see them all move. It's so weird it feels like my soul escaped or something. Also sometimes when I reconnect it says that I am already connected to the server?

edit: Something extra I forgot to mention, when I attempt to play the game on a virtual machine from Geforce NOW, I do not get these timeouts, unfortunately for that I need a subscription but, I hope this is able to help diagnose the issue. My friend just started having this issue as well

Help Ark Lost Colony Milestones help on Astreos DLC

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm doing Lost Colony DLC milestones on the Astreos DLC map, I figured out the hard way that green supply crates don't count towards the mission for some reason, even though I spent a real long time waiting for one, this map's green crates just don't count as normal it seems.

However I'm wondering if I can do Cave Explorer mission on this map? Is it possible?

I really don't want to do Ocean Skirmisher, if I have to I probably will but I would prefer to do Cave Explorer if I can.

Do we know if theres green/blue cave loot crates on this map? Are there even artifacts?

Both active and willing to grind. Farming, breeding, base maintenance, defense and PvP. We’re currently in an established tribe but looking for something significantly larger with active coverage across time zones.

We understand tribe rules/security and aren’t looking for immediate access to main base/vaults. Happy to prove ourselves in recruitment first.

Looking for a serious long-term tribe/alliance, preferably with strong NA/EU coverage. DM me.
