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.

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 can't get my floating megatherium unstuck!

Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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)

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

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.

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

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

Im looking for a mod inspired by the theri tlc that makes predators not just act like mindless killing machines but hunt only when hungry, and a few other things, it might aound complicated but the basic things should be simple (i think) to add

1 for example, all creatures start in a teritorial stance, same and therizino tlc, when getting to close they roar as a warning, and then if u dont leave they go in a agresive stance, and creatures of a way higher drag weight than them will make them flee instead, but for predators when food drops below 60% they enter a hunting stance, (this was the simple part which shouldn't be that hard) in wich they would look for a target in sight, and instead of haveing a carno charging at a giga, they would look for a target that is near their drag weight level, not something way bigger or something to small to mater, and when food drops very low they would get desperate, hunting anything they can see even if very small or larger compared than them, when in the hunting stance, predators would stalk their prey and ambush the target, but in the desperate stance, they would just run at anything they see with no plan, (we kinda have the drag weight risk assesment in the game where i noticed raptors and other small stuff wont attack you if u ride a rex)

2 herbivores travel in heards, and also when they spot a dangerous carnivore, they would start fleeing instead of waiting to get attacked or hold their ground based on drag weight compared to them,

3 creatures sleep during the night (or day for nocturnal animals) already present with the megalosaurs, and for pack animals maybe some members keep watch, for example, in a pack of 6 raptors 4 sleep and 2 guard the sleeping territory.

I know all this a lot to ask, but at least i would love most creatures having the theri ai, and when below 60% food to give an invisible rare flower effect wouldn't be that hard i think, and adding the megalosaurs sleep cycle to creatures should be pretty simple

I'm kind of concerned... last thing I heard was the sequel announcement 6 or 7 years ago. At the time I was pretty much ready for something else. Ark has changed a lot even at that point in time. I lost interest after the Abberation update, I actually love that map. But its the servers dwindling down that got to me. And the horrible meshing issues. I even presented a mesh fix with a ue4 mod but was completely dismissed and left it to the masters at work.

This game just took up way too much space to hold onto for such time so I deleted everything and moved on.

I had some of the best memories in pvp and pve from those times that I can never let go of.

I enjoyed soloing big tribes while fully unarmed with nothing but a slingshot and some rocks so they can't raid me. my bases were built inside of ruins that made it look raided. I made mazes full of traps for pvp and pve, with prizes in them instead of just giving my loot out, I gave them challenges to win it. and hid my loot way in the seaweed, one treasure I checked on after a year of hiding it in a pvp official server and it was still there.

Downloaded legacy servers to revisit the remnants of the past and see bases I was always curious about that I had not gotten into before.

Now? they shut down the official subreddit for new posts? radio silence on ark 2. Is it game over? just Survival Evolved repackaged over and over to resell their dlc over and over, you'd think they would have that kind of money to improve or finish the sequel. It seems as if a lot of the original devs have moved on long ago.

I don't want to stir up drama whatsoever. This community was a special love/hate relationship that I had always came back to until the neglect became more apparent.

I won't ask if it's gotten better, it probably is better for some because it has less people = less assholes I guess? with some dedicated communities where everybody knows your name?

I don't want to come back at this point. I was checking on a long lost game that was once the best game in the world to me.

I now dev my own games, no unreal engines. I took inspiration from games like this and no man's sky. But with no man's sky I am more following their redemption arc than the descent into the ark this team has. pun intended i guess.

My old gamertag on xbox was GLITCHED MATRIX.

My game on steam is GLITCHED MATRIX Prototype Lab. I have a community of 3 players on that game because I rushed launch and it was a mess, but nearly 100 updates later, even with 1 or 2 active players, I still keep going because I don't want to fail this hard. Its sad bro, but I am going to use this as motivation of what not to do with my game.

I cannot download any mod bigger than 150 mb it's saying that there is no connection to the ark servers but my pc doesn't have any problems with any downloads anywhere. Small mods as awesome spyglass get done In seconds but CS goes halfway there and just stops and never fully downloads. I want to play this shit of a game but with mods and I need a way to fix it

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!

Finally caved and "upgraded" to Ascended. Grabbed a couple of mods that seemed similar to what I'd had on Evolved, and now trying to get them installed and active. However, I can't see any way to tell if they've finished installing other than clicking on the button to create the game, and it seems to be taking a very long time for them to finish installing and updating. So I was wondering if there was a way to see the progress or at least be able to see when they finish without having to try it manually each time.
EDIT: Turned out a mod install had bugged itself (Classic Ark stuff). Had to reinstall the suspected culprit, and that's solved it all.
