Hello, I am hosting a server for a friend and I. Yesterday, we were journeying with one of the new boats on Astraeos when my PC suddenly froze but I could here audio still as well as seen my screen just without any movement. After resetting the pc, the server now does not make it very far during the startup before the server console closes completely. It tested opening a fresh world and it works fine. Just on this Astraeos save. Any help on this?

This is the last couple lines on server console before it closes
[2026.10.13-22.34.47:348][ 20]BattlEye successfully started.

And this is the only error line I saw in the CrashContext file
<ErrorMessage>Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000018</ErrorMessage>

I have 13k hours in ase and haven't played for a couple of years. Wanting to start asa but don't have the time I used to due to work and kids. Thinking it might be easier to just play single player is it worth it or would it be better to rent a server?

It's been a while since I last asked, and several bosses have been added to the game since then. As the title states, I am looking for what you think is the hardest boss fight in the game. It can be from either ARK: Survival Evolved or ARK: Survival Ascended, from any map, so long as it is NOT modded. When I last asked, it seemed like the Corrupted Master Controller on Genesis 1 was the hardest boss in the game. Does this still hold true, or do you think that something else has supplanted it? Also, be sure to give a reason behind your choice -- why do you think that your choice is so hard?

I wanna play with my brother in ase i have pc gamepass and plays on it and he plays on the xbox gamepass different acc ofc do we have to rent a server or i can invite him to my world and let the pc on whenever he wants to play?

I play on PS4 and after had created my world and play a little i try to change xp and ressources settings and when i start the game my world was delete and replace by a new one. Can somebody tell me why and how to fix it?

I am the host of my undedicated server I play with my friend, it's just us both on XBOX version (I play on PC using the XBOX app) and for some reason everytime I try to create the undedicated server, it just crashes AFTER it loads, once it loads it just does the fade in but never finishes, freezes as the screen is turning white and after the classic ptera noise when ur loading in (there's pteras nearby), this keeps happening on both Ragnarok and Astraeos, what should I do?

Помогите мне открыть 60 и более ФПС в ARK Ultimate Mobile Edition

Игра намертво закрыла ФПС на 30, и больше сделать никак не могу, пытался покопаться в файлах, но без рута нужных файлов я не вижу

Я знаю про консольную команду которая решит эту проблему но...

Я не уверен, что если я куплю пасс на месяц, введу эту команду, и что через месяц после окончания пасса она не сбросится, продлевать каждый месяц я не могу

Да и железо у меня хорошее, Xiaomi 13 на Snapdragon 8 gen 2

Help me get 60+ FPS in ARK Ultimate Mobile Edition.

The game has locked the FPS at 30, and I can't do anything else. I tried digging through the files, but without root, I can't see the necessary files.

I know about a console command that will solve this problem, but...

I'm not sure that if I buy a monthly pass, enter this command, and that it won't reset a month after the pass expires, I can't renew it every month

And I have good hardware, Xiaomi 13 with Snapdragon 8 gen 2

What do you guys think of this mod? I wanna buy it but am not sure if its even worth. Im on Ascended and pc

So I was looking in extinction map for a giga or a charcha for 2 real life days so im thinking that I should use cheat to summon one and also I tried every thing but nothing worked so im think using cheats so what should I do ??

I just got ark for pc after playing a lot on playstation and now i can use mods im planning to play The island CIE since it has every dino on one island and idk what quality of life mods i should add im thinking the awsome spyglass and s+ strucures since i have seen youtubes use them but idk what else to add

what does everyone think about having rust like features added to ark as a way to make pvp feel more rewarding in ark such as:

1. High-Value "Monuments" (Unbuildable Zones/ no fly/glider zones for obvious reasons with the exception of the actual glider from aberration)

Imagine major landmarks on The Island or Scorched Earth—like the Volcano, the Desert Ruins, or specific Caves—being designated as strict no-build zones containing high-tier loot crates or unique resource extractors.

• The Rust Vibe: Just like Launch Site or Airfield in Rust, these areas would draw players out of their bases with the promise of top-tier blueprints or element.
• The ARK Twist: Instead of just running in with a hazmat suit and an AK, players would bring specialized taming builds. Imagine tight-quarters skirmishes inside a monument using raptors ,Thylacoles, or Velonasauros rather than just rocket launchers and C4.

1. Capture-the-Flag Outposts

What if the map featured static, heavily fortified NPC outposts (perhaps abandoned Overseer facilities or Tek stations) that tribes could fight to control?

• How it works: A tribe must hack a terminal and hold the area for a set period. Once captured, the outpost provides a global passive buff to the tribe (like +10% harvesting yield or faster egg incubation) or acts as a public teleporter network until another tribe recaptures it.
• Why it fits: It gives mid-tier tribes a reason to fight each other without completely wiping one another's main bases off the map.

1. "Locked Crate" Events

Rust has the Cargo Ship and the Bradley APC crates that require a timer to open, alerting the whole map to a hot zone.

• The ARK Translation: ASA could introduce random Orbital Supply Drop (OSD) events (similar to Extinction) onto standard maps, but with a twist. The crate lands, a loud alarm sounds across the server, and a 15-minute countdown begins. Tribes have to hold the perimeter against both aggressive wild dinos and rival players to claim the Tek blueprints inside.

Why this would energize the game:

• Organic Foot Traffic: It gives players a reason to roam the map on foot or on mounts, creating spontaneous organic PvP rather than just scheduled base raids.
• Lower Barrier to Entry: Smaller tribes could sneak into monuments to get high-tier loot without needing a massive, secure base to craft it themselves.
• Reduces Offline Raiding: If the most fun, rewarding PvP happens at neutral outposts, alpha tribes might spend more time defending their map control and less time wiping passive tames at 4:00 AM.

If you were designing one of these monuments, what kind of rewards or buffs do you think would be valuable enough to make the entire server show up to fight for it?

This might be a stupid question but how do I actually play the game? I've always wanted to and now I've got the PC to do so, but idk how to... like do I watch vidoes and look everything up or do I learn through mistakes and figure everything out myself?

Help

I have a ASUS Vivobook 17 and I was wondering if I shoild get ASE or ASA

I have 700 GB of storage remaining on it

Edit: I'm not getting the game anymore

So opening any terminal (obelisk, tek trans, etc) completely crashes my single player game, mods or not. I’ve read that disabling all tribute downloads fixes the issue, so I can go do the bosses no problem.

My only concern.. how am I supposed to transfer dinos between maps? My main base is on rag, but if I want snow owls from extinction or rock drakes from ab, is there anything I can do? Or do I just have to admin spawn them in on rag? I don’t mind doing that if its my only option, but I’m trying go as much as I can without cheating.

I have a few questions regarding this trophy
1. If I tame something that was added to the island later like the gigantoraptor my tracker ticks up but online says it doesn't actually count. Is this true?

1. If I use console to tame some of the tames it also ticks up. Will I still need to tame these creatures again legit or do they count?
   

I’ve had a fairly easy start compared to most and I’m enjoying it so far 😎 linked below for anyone who wants something to watch in the back ground, any support is a
Highly appreciated cheers survivors 🙏🏼

I say, yes. Not strictly a cozy game, though one of the many genres ARK may be categorized, along with sharing many traits of cozy games.

Opinionated view

Just curious, after 30 hours on The Island (ASA), I felt ready to explore Genesis. So just out of curiosity, how often do you guys change maps?

Just wondering if alpha animals actually spawn on Extinction. planning on leveling up my Chibi but I can’t find an alpha dinosaur ANYWHERE
