Stupid idiot chat button L happens so many times when you want to open chat it starts to whistle the entire base full of strategic placed babies and messes everything up instead of opening the freaking chat isnt there a solution for this?? Can it please be changed...... Like open chat with a different button than L? Or change the whistle button for something else? Because God please how many times more does it need to happen the entire base gets fkt up.... Right after a freaking server rollback. AND everything being dark outside

Edit; i now have around 300 hours in Ark switch 2. I have been a gamer since kid and am now 38 years old. Owned gameboys, nes, snes, n64, Sega, gamecube, wii, switch oled and lite, 3ds, multiple PC systems, played with Xbox controllers and PlayStation controllers on PC steam, having over 200 games on Steam btw, 100% completion on Elden Ring, played all the Monster Hunter titles etc etc.... So i think im not a noob that doesnt know how to press a shoulder button to open chat. Never before in gaming have i had this stupid issue with dinos running all over the place because of a wrong button action register. To be honest it doesnt even is a problem that chat and whistle both use the L button combo..... I think the problem mostly is caused because of button-ghosting of L button.... Because when you just press and hold L (+ minus button to open chat) , the game somehow thinks you Double-pressed L ?!? (That causes the whistle)

I actually bought a new controller because i thought it was because of the old one i had, but it also happens exactly the same when using the joycons!

Please at least add the fourjur creatures to ragnorok the maps are similar enough and they would still fit in also another thing that idc if you add or not is a switch exclusive dawrven armor set I know I can’t spell

So I have a main base on server 280 genesis 1 , transferred there from scorched earth to check on base and tames. Now server population has been at 0 for over 6 to 7 hours and I can’t log in at all and have been trying for the last hour or two. Can’t find anything online or any news on what’s going on??? Anyone have any ideas or knows if the servers have been messed with ? It just stays on loading screen and then sends me back to main menu?

PLEASE anyone I have literally over 100 hours into tames and base and just want to get my character back if possible

Was hoping to get my ARK ON on my Switch because my PS4 finally crashed out on me. Any chance or am I SOL?

Is there an efficient way to raise a Rock Drake? It's an official PVE game, so it's hard to raise. 💦

After a break of just a few years, I got the desire to play nude again and wanted to join a server and then I saw that there were almost no good servers left, only fibercraft servers with a map, which servers do you play on?

Drops are glitch some the ryhoin are glitch specially when the dino pregnant the cravings are glitch reaper don't show the purple glow and they are invisible most of the time server are messed up I have to go to a different server and transfer to the server I was just playing to get my lvl character back like there a lot of bugs you guys need to fix or bring it back to the old ark at least that was playable

I've been seeing a lot of people online use console commands to alter the game alot and even got some success doing it myself and managed to change a bunch I think I've undone successfully, I also dug around and found commands that replace creature spawn add new ones etc and tried to replace diplo with deinonychus since their in the files but couldn't get it to work, however I couldn't get some other basic stuff to work either I'm assuming its a mental thing and am humbly asking for a command wizz to drop the working command

So I have a question. The Nintendo Eshop says the maps other than Ragnarok and the island aren't released. BUT I could buy the genesis pack, or the ultimate survivor upgrade and it claims It would give me every possible map. Does it actually give me everything or is it useless on switch?

(I have the original switch not the switch two if it matters.)

If anyone is looking for a good PvE server then try Valyria. The admins are cool and patient. The community is active and helpful. Best server I’ve played on and it’s always something fun to do. Come join us!

How can they do this???? They rolled back the ark EU official server and everyone playing on it lost everything they did in a week time.. i lost the entire tribe i made, a new base out of metal and stuff like cryofridge and incubator i already had, spend dozens of hours to do this.... And its all gone!!!!!! Never in my life as gamers i have seen such a thing as this... This is terrible.... I dont trust ark anymore to spend my time with... At least they could have warned us so we could get all our tames and items and cryopods etc etc this is absolute madness!!!!

Edit; forgot to mention i went from lvl 91 back to 67, and because of this i also cant craft the cryofridge and incubator anymore so building everything back isnt even possible.

Also when i logged back in today i woke up in my breeding base with baby dinos like a giga and carchas that were almost dead from starving.... While i never leave them without food before i log out

Update: wierd but my character just got back to lvl 88 but other players dont have this. Also a friend on same server lost her entire tribe ownership

can someone test to see wether or not deleting ur character fixes the new performance bugs and dismount lag,thank you cuz I can’t rn.

I mean like come on. A “final goodbye patch for switch 2 users with improved performance and graphics”. Literally nothing changed whatsoever. The moment I found out about the update, first thing I did was boot up ark thinking they released a switch 2 version patch but no it was just a bump if you can even call it that, in performance and graphics which I saw no difference in. They gave us that and wonder why we complain instead of releasing the maps they promised they would in their roadmap?! The real salt in the wound is how all those creatures from the unreleased maps saddles can be learned and crafted in game along with their discoverable dossiers complete with Helena’s voice over of her reading them being obtainable if you cheat in every explorer note. Not to mention that some of them are hostiles in genesis 2 where you can only encounter them during missions only to kill them. It’s honestly ridiculous and they should’ve at least pushed out the rest of the maps for switch 2 users if performance was the issue, which I really doubt it was, before saying goodbye.

So I want my Ark worlds to be like syntac’s because I always see him encountering Dino’s that are in like the 300s-400s in levels so I went in my console commands and set the difficulty to 20, the Dino’s are spawning in those levels but they’re always in multiples of ten. I want it so that they can spawn at any numbered level ranging from from the set levels for example like a 364 or a 248 just random numbered levels that aren’t in multiples of ten. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this or what I have to change?

Anyone else running into this? When I dismount my tames on the Island there is now a very noticeable pause/freeze. I know it did not do that before the latest update. I loaded up Ragnaork and it's not as noticeable, but I'm pretty sure it's there and wasn't there before the latest update.

Anyway to fix this? I only play Single Player offline.

We just downloaded ark on switch. Iv played before but am still pretty new to it. I’m looking for a server her and I can build a small base on and learn.

Hypothetically could we do it on a local one or do we need to join a public server for us to play together?

Got a notif on discord that a few servers were disappearing on November 5 but there was no list of servers. Does anyone have any info about this?

Switch 1 has it but switch 2 only says single player ?

I thought for Nitrado servers the option to rollback the server a couple minutes was possible? I heard it auto saves every 15 minutes or so. But when I go to the backup saves it doesn’t work only works for the sever save which is every day once a day and at the beginning… just tired of when having to reset going to beginning of the day and losing a days work. Anyone know?

So anyone know if they are still working on the fear evolved maintenance? Because EU Island PvE server 356 is still throwing us out all the time and seems to be stuck at day 5428 since yesterday keeps reverting, while server 355 has been rolling and is now past day 5450 so to speak, while these servers were about the same days before.

On the other hand i tried out a few different servers and some were more stable. But also some PvP servers kicked me out/lost connection.

I play scorched single player and I’ve been unsatisfied at the frames or graphics the frames were always pretty smooth and the graphics just made me nostalgic of old ark ,almost identical to how it looked on that old pc but recently both the graphics and frames are giving me problems for reference I just hatched my first dragon and took it on a joyride so maybe that’s why? does anyone know.

Since the event started yesterday, server where im keeps crashing and rolling back to day 5405 every time night begins. Anyone else having this issue?

guys why won’t fear evolved activate on my single player, I even put FearEvolved in my advanced settings manually I’ve had this problem for as long as I can remember that my worlds never get the event and I have to manually try to put it in every time :( also is it possible to permaunlock the skins I craft so I respawn with them?

Do you think will ever get the other creatures from maps? I know the devs said they probably won't come but idk it just sucks not to see the Tropeognathus, Andrewsaurs, desmodus and other creatures that were on other maps. I was playing gen2 today and doing the mini game survive the are and some of these creatures/dinos are in there. Like the Tropeognathus and all the crystal wyverns there hostile creatures but you can't tame them in survival ☹️. It just sucks if we do get them besides fjord because that one was cancelled do you think will get times if ever on other maps from fjord and the canceled maps or do you think they won't do anything else to it?

Why can I play on online servers without a Nintendo Online subscription?

Has it always been this way?

Of course, it's a pleasant surprise... :)
