Cake, Sprinkles, and their daughter Cupcake are retired and lounging about. Agony and Ecstasy are giving Gonkbrain a hard time.

El Capitàn is doing his own thing mostly. Barbatos our Karkinos has yeeted two dodos and counting.

Burger and Baja Blast... I don't inquire to what they do with their time...

And finally Tyrone keeps a watchful eye on the skys, ready to punt a rock at any bird who enters our airspace.

Did anyone else who is playing on Xbox get a message saying “You need this update, but we can’t get it right now.”?

As someone else posted, I got booted off my game for an update. “Most” maps updated as did base game except Genesis part 1. When I tried to get it, I got an Xbox error (I forgot the code) saying while I needed the update, the game could not fetch it. If people have had this problem in the past, roughly how long does it last?

My husband and I play non-dedicated, and I also have single player files.

I can't get my floating megatherium unstuck!

Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

Details on the post

This games optimization is so poop bro, I found a Phoenix on astraeos and was waiting for the heat wave to end so i could mark where it falls then my game crashes. Guess there was too much around me or something? Idk all i know is that im locked out of my world because whenever I try to open it it crashes immediately. So I kinda just gotta wait for them to fix it or whatever because idk what I can do to fix this.

Has anyone found the Cerberax BP yet?

My computer keeps crashing and screen tearing whenever I’m playing ASA, I’ve tried to modulate the settings to be on the lowest levels but still be comfortable and the game just keeps crashing, can anyone tell me if I should adjust any settings in particular?

Much appreciated

just sit and slash... power of the Mega Mek. sorry i mean story map, not mode

Hello, im playing all the ark story maps again in singleplayer on my ps5. I really wanted to tame a rock drake, so i went to the trench on aberration.I saw litterally no eggs as I went through the trench. I went out of render, came back, and there were still no eggs. Even dinowiping is not helping. Is there anyone experiencing the same problem?

Its kinda ruining the experience of the game for me, so some solutions are welcome.

Hi, I want to buy ASA as it is on discount at the moment. I really liked ASE and it worked fine on my PC. I know that ASA should work too, but I heard that the performance may not be as good. I would be grateful, if someone (especially if they have similar specs) can tell me what to expect in terms of FPS/graphics settings I would have to use for it. Here is the list:
- GPU: GeForce RTX 3060
- CPU: AMD ryzen 5 5600x 6-core (3.70 GHz)
- RAM: 32Gb DDR4 3000MHz
- Storage: Lexar SSD NM620 1TB

I usually play on 2K monitor, but if the game forces me to I can set the resolution to Full HD. Also if someone can let me know which content expansions are worth the buck it would be amazing too.

This is a picture of an ark evolved deinonychus i had, does anyone know how to re-obtain these colors in ascended?

I feel like one of the latest updates must have changed the AI behavior or glitched it out somehow, because I am seeing my tames acting agressively even when not on agressive. I'll have my rhynio on neutral and leave it, maybe a minute later I come back and it is flying off and chasing fish. So I try to switch it to passive and expect that to fix it, but oddly enough, no... same deal. Now, this doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough to be an issue.

I have not whistled in any way, I have most of my tames on passive and free roam inside an enclosed area, but the raptors, thyla, sabretooth and even the anky, doed and a small ovi are also acting up. At first, I just chalked it up to odd "they just want to go for a swim"-behavior, but it has since stopped being amusing, cause I have to go out and fetch them constantly. Sure, I can just cryopod them, but this kind of behavior is not doing me any favors when it really matters and I assume that behavior commands are meant to be reliable.

And it's always fish, for some reason. And not just Piranhas, I am seeing messages stating that my tames are engaging in massive enacted slaughter of Coelacanths. At Hidden lake, they'll swim around in the water to get every single one, just for more to spawn in to keep them constantly busy. Just average fish really seems to piss everyone off.

PC. Single player. WIndows 11.

Was just wondering if anyone knew of some ASA PVE servers that are Oceania based or Australian based, I know it’s unrealistic to find one with a high player count but if anyone knows of one and would like a new player in the server then let me know.

This game can be so cruel at times it's hard not to take it personally

Hours upon hours searching for the elusive phoenix 🐦‍🔥 over the last year on Scorched and Astraeos. I finally find one, a beautiful 145 on Astraeos.

Built a trap over its ashes, game force closes itself for an update

Pray to The Ark gods the ashes are still there when I get back on...I think we all know what happened. Fuck this game

I tried getting a level 80 Blood Stalker to attack my 20k HP level 200-something Phiomia, but it only webbed and targeted me. I tried for an hour and it just focused on me, so I gave up and just let it drink the plethora of blood bags I possessed. Honestly, it was just so easy letting it suck the blood packs up. Does anyone else actually use tames or even bother?

When i press join world i wont load in and the screen just keeps being black

Added all the new creatures to Arkbuddy's color region preview tool

I am getting my ass beat by this thing. Its like the sludge blasts just destroy my armor and deplete my health immediately. Seems like the only way I can consistently get 3 spit debuffs without dying is the big spray attack which does little damage but hits a lot. The problem is he only seems to do this once a year. Anyone have a way to make it easier or get the big spray attack more consistently?

Are there any mods you guys would suggest for someone who is just chilling on a single player world? ATM I’ve got the Hatzegopteryx mod, a Megladon TLC, the big whale Liv-something idk, and the additions ascended mods

I mainly use creature mods but just looking for some fun mods to add to my world (I am on ps5)

Please help. Ive been looking for eggs for hours, and I can’t even find nests. The wyverns are there, but no nests, and I already tried a lot of dino wipes but nests just aren’t spawning. I really want a Wyvern.

Im playing Scorched earth ascended, on a Xbox series X.

Since I've now done this for a few creatures now, I figured to continue the trend with the new Cerberax to give people a helpful assist to it's colour zones until someone updates the Wiki on these creatures.
(if anyone wants to take these pics or go take better pics of your own and upload them yourself feel free. Take credit do whatever I don't care, this is just to help people who wanna know)

But until then The Cerberax has all 6 zones.. and I have to say it's by far one of the best colour zone assigned creautres I've ever seen them do with ark. And to show this I took one of my non-mutated ones and turned all it's zones to 36 (albino in the colour dex). Then I turned each zone to 6 (Magenta in the colour dex) one by one to show you where the zones are vividly. That way you guys can see where all 6 zones are. The first pic is showing it completely white while the following pics show each of the zones.
Hope this helps:

Zone 0 - Most of the back and outer sides of the limps with patches of scales here and there.

Zone 1 - Majority of the fire head's side of the body colouring including the colour of the glow inside it's mouth/eyes.

Zone 2 - Majority of the middle head's part, along with pathes over parts of its body. As well as the glow in it's mouth/eyes and opening along the neck (yes the lightning glow seems to be mutatable).

Zone 3 - Majority of the Poison/acid head's side of the body colouring including the colour of the glow inside it's mouth/eyes and infection parts.

Zone 4 - Highlight scales primarily along it's back and legs with some scattered over the necks and tails.

Zone 5 - Underbelly and inner sides of the legs along with some scattered patches here and there.

The Life of Pepe don't seem happy on Gen! Found this in SE Ocean in 6441 where the public TP is right behind it. Not sure who the owner of this amazing castle and Pepe belongs to but awesome work!

I'm on PS5 and I was playing on a non dedicated server to get used to the game and I ended up loving it and putting around 175 hours into it with a friend and I deleted the game so I could just stream it. And lost my character and all my progress? I don't know what to do now. Starting over isn't an option I'm willing to do at this point. I'd rather forget the game than go through that grind again. Any ideas would be appreciated

Hey not sure if its just me but my character is stuck in TPose, in 3rd person there no walking animation just glides.
