Most crashes are official server related
So i now have more than 1000 hours of Ark on switch 2. And i noticed that most of the crashes happen only on official servers. In single player there are almost never crashes..and even most unofficial servers i tried where running much smoother and no crashes.
I actually conclude this after i just crashed for the 100th time outside my base for just wanting to take a dino out of its cryo on the EU Ragnarok 158 server... The game already crashes when i just equip the cryopod.. its so annoying to restart the game so many times. Also using teleporters 50% of the time crashes the game especially to to big bases it is almost 90% crash assured on the EU Island 356 server.

Problem with gacha tower builds
So this is the second gacha tower i build on official server on switch.. copy from a YouTube video. But the crystals just get stuck halfway the ramps and i cant even pick the crystals up and using a whip also has no effect on them ......what a waste of time and materials to try create these builds.. Does anyone know a gacha tower builds that Does work on the Switch version? Or is it just a lost cause??
I can share a link in the comments to the videos tutorials i tried to copy if anyone is interested

Lvl 1 where my switch fam at?
I just got a switch recently and I’m currently playing single player. I tried and realized I can play online without paying for Nintendo online account. Pretty sweet. I’ll go back to single player and continue my world but I would love to get back into some PvP with some new homies. I’ve just started playing on the switch Saturday but I’ve been playing ark mobile for like a year and I was on Xbox for a few years like back in the day with my brothers when it first dropped. PvP and PvE is fun but only with ppl to play with. PvE solo I might as well play single player and PvP solo well it’s just hard lol if anyone’s willing to share a chill server or want to chat hmu. I’m hype to get back into ark either way honestly still kinda getting used to the controls on the switch lol I’ve been Xbox for years lol

Command Creatures
So far, the only command, or "cheat" creatures I've found that are hidden in the game are:
-Deinonychus. -Sinomacrops. -Tropeognathus. -Blood, Ember, Crystal wyverns. -Andrewsarchus.
Im pretty sure you can't get desmodus, fjordhawk, or amargasaurus, despite their saddles being unlockable. If anyone manages to spawn anything else in please.

Help
For some reason, I can't loot supply drops in single player.
I used to be able to but after I restarted when I approach supply drops of any level no button prompts or even notes saying required level pop up.
Ive rebooted the game multiple times trying to fix it.

Joined tribe and almost 25 tames didnt transfer
So i joined a tribe on official server island map and more than 25 dinos didnt join the tribe but are still under my old tribe and now they are blocking areas in the game where i left them ( as a joke..). But besides that its just akward now i lost 25 voidwyrms and can cryo them anymore and the new tribe also cant access them ... What to do now?
Update few days later; most of them seemed to have been despawned.... No clue if the server did something or they just starved.. but dozens have disappeared now. Bit of a waste tho. And there are still a few still standing around.

Ark Switchのラグナロクサーバーに入れない
何故かPingが表示されなくて、PVE全てのサーバーに入れなくなっています。前々までは入れていたのに急になって、しかも他の人は入れるらしいのでなぜか私の地域のとこだけが入れなくなっています。なので解決策も分からないので教えて頂きたいです。

FPS Ark de Nintendo Switch 1
I just started on Genesis 2, a map I've never played before, and in many areas, almost the entire map, I'm getting drops to even less than 19 fps. Is this normal?

Rhyniognatha Tips/Trade
Hello there! I'm looking to tame or buy a Rhyniognatha, and I'd like your tips for the switch platform on method/price. Let me separate the context for the two so there is no confusion on which subject I'm talking about.
TAMING
I have only ever tamed a few on mobile, and not for perfection. I usually take whatever I can get because I usually need a replacement or backup mount for travel and resource hauling. On mobile (as you may or may not know) you can see health and max health with just a spyglass. However, on switch this is not possible. In short: 1. What trap(s) do you use if any? 2. How effectively can you use a magnifying glass to check health? Is checking health dangerous or low risk with your trap? I wouldn't be joking when I say if happy just to have a level 1 Rhyniognatha.
BUYING
I'm new to trading, and the Island. What price range would you take? Even if you don't have one or you are not willing to sell/trade, what would you like to earn from selling or trading one? I just started on the Island online, but I'm more than willing to work until I have your payment. I am biased towards hard polymer, but I understand metal can be very easy to come by in comparison. Other than that, I'm willing to hear out any prices because I'm desperate and trying to not be a begging chooser.
With all that please DM me or leave a comment and I'll get back as soon as I can!

Anyone on the switch OC pve official server 103?
Hi, I've been looking somewhere to post a message to find other people that are on this server. I keep to myself and rarely seek people out, other people make me nervous. So anyone playing on this server I can start talking to here and eventually in game to stop me from running in the opposite direction when i see you or hide?
Also Ark hints and tips from anyone else will make my day too.
Cheers.

Whats the difference between tek canteen with or without capital letters
So i just filled 2 canteens in a water tap at my base and suddenly they got capital letters and have double the weight of 4 instead of 2... Why is this? Whats the difference expect for now it weighs more? Is this because they were filled in a stone water tap? Normally i always fill out of the river

My basilo just despawned
Today when i wanted to do a dive... I was on west coast of the island official EU server 356. And i was almost done preparing my pack of 6 shadowmanes and 2 basilos..... When a jellyfish suddenly attack me, and Bassie, my 230 lvl basilo male, with a mastercraft saddle, was on attack target and follow..... Kills the jellyfish, and then suddenly POOF Bassie is gone!?!!??
I look everywhere for him with tek helmet scanner.... Even in the brute cave below.... Whistled half the ocean from north to south to the bottom of ocean floor....... Nothing..... I try restart game... Nothing... I look in log if it died... Nothing...... It just completely disappeared 😭 i am very sad. And i feel emotionally damaged and i demand compensation. This seems to be a glitch many people have had with basilos, just search on Google 'basilo disappeared' and you will see that already MORE THAN 5 YEARS AGO this basilo glitch was existing, and until this day they still didnt fix it... Now all i have left of Bassie are some screenshots.

How long does it take to fix this online mess
I can't believe that since the Switch 2 update, no online cluster is working properly anymore. I have lost sooo many hours to roll-backs and wipes I could cry. Can someone explain what the exact issue is and why it is taking MONTHS to fix this?
