ARK: Survival Evolved Daily Community Thread - Bug Report Monday

Below is a list of day 1 bugs specific to the windows 10 store version that have never been fixed...might as well list them since the devs indicated they are trying to fix bugs and improve QoL.

If you can think of any others and can be consistently created please post and I will add them to the list.

Windows 10 Hosting Bugs:

Windows 10 Hosted Servers don't appear on server list:

A windows 10 hosted server does not appear on the server list instantly like a Nitrado xbox hosted server, even though both run on the same x86 hardware. A windows hosted server has to wait in line to appear on the server list which can take 7+ days of running 24/7. But 99% of the time the server can't stay up for 7 straight days because either the game client crashes or the game becomes unjoinable through the xbox app friends lists. Which brings me to bug number 2

Server becomes unjoinable/greyed out:

After hosting a windows 10 server for a few straight days, no one is able to join the server through the xbox friends list app. The ark client is still running but no one can join without an ark client restart which restarts the server list timer from bug 1....

Ini edit commands don't work via game.ini and gameusersettting.ini

Below is the list of ini edits that have no affect on the settings yet work on other platforms
Game.ini
- EngramEntryAutoUnlocks=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Tek_Gategrame_C",LevelToAutoUnlock=0)
  - This one works, but you misspelled "Tek_GateGrame", should be "Tek_GateFrame"
GameUserSettings.ini
- PvPStructureDecay=True
  AutoDestroyStructures=True
  AutoDestroyOldStructuresMultiplier=0.0
  AutoDestroyDecayedDinos=True
  DestroyUnconnectedWaterPipes=True
  FastDecayUnsnappedCoreStructures=True
  - The auto decay does not work. Tried multiple settings under both game and gamesetting.ini, structures will decay until they become demolishble but still remain, even if no one is within render range.
- MaxPersonalTamedDinos=300
  - Stuck on 250 no matter what
- [/Script/Engine.GameSession]
  MaxPlayers=71
  - Stuck on 70 players no matter what

Crossplay option removed with latest Ark update

Previously there was a check box when creating the server that allowed you to disable or enable crossplay, but default crossplay is enabled and no way to control it, might be by design now I guess.

Windows 10 In-Game Bugs:

Textures/resources fail to load/render

When traveling to certain parts of any game map or loading into any server textures/resources fail to load. Players can only see dinos and structures, everything else is invisible (can be an advantage sometimes). If a player swings a hatchet at an invisible tree it will still harvest, so it is GPU/render related. The only temporarily fix, is to log out and log back into the server.

Toggle Voice Chat Option does not work

No matter what people can hear you chatting in game. The only way to disable it, is to go under windows settings > microphone > and don't allow ark access to the microphone.

Windows 10 Hosting Wish-List:

Headless game hosting

GPU is currently required to host a dedicated server (albeit not a powerful one). Other hosting platforms, (Steam,nitrado) don't require this yet run on the same x86 hardware.

Server command line-startup option:

The ability to use command line-startup options to enable clustering, etc. things that other hosting platforms can do (steam/nitrado).

Ability to cluster multiple maps

Given no command-line startup options, clustering is almost impossible.

Baby Food/Maturation Bug Needs to be fixed!

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 06:49 AM PST

Official PC PVE

Now that the Owl Freeze Food bug has been patched; Would you mind fixing the actual Food bug that has plagued us for months with no resolution?

Yes babies starving while still having food on them or juvi near a trough is still a thing, and it seems to be happening more often lately. This also has nothing to do with cryosickness because this bug existed before cryopods were a thing.

What happens is baby maturation pauses and they refuse to eat causing their food to drop to zero causing a food debt. They eventually lose HP and die if they do not recover from the glitch in time.

This has happened to me on many different types of dinos. Sometimes the server tick catches up and they start maturing and eating as normal but that is rare because most starve and die especially if they are newborns. The only way to manually fix it is to punch the baby, walk it around the base and force feed it but these methods do not always work.

This food/maturation glitch is completely random and can happen to any species. I and many other breeders have reported it months ago and it is still here while many other raising related bugs/exploits have been fixed, this most important one has carried on for too long and needs to be fixed.

Can you please look into this?

Also has anyone else experienced this bug while raising? Please share your stories as it may add info to fix it.

Alpha dragon dermis from rag doesn't work on Taxidermy Base on The Island (plus a little info a dev should read re:featherlights)

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 08:15 AM PST

I read somewhere that they didn't want to add these inanimate skins from bosses to all maps because of something to do with memory, but the Alpha Dragon dermis should work on the Island, because it's the same thing visually. So, this brings up 2 questions...

If memory was a concern, why allow all of the corrupted creature dermises to work on Taxidermy bases on all maps?

Can we just get the boss dermises to work now, too?

My system drops to 3fps and works extremely hard and starts sounding like Apollo 13 getting ready to launch with 100 featherlights in render, and doesnt even heat up with the same number of taxidermy bases... So I'd say concern for memory/processing time should be focused toward those featherlights. (their lights are all off).

Really wanted to show off all the boss dermises on my island server, and was disappointed when the first dermis I equipped was completely blank (rag dragon).

Sort Cryopods by Dino's name

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 01:20 AM PST

When sorting to alphabetical can we have it based off of the Dino's name? Or Achatina comes before Rex.

Just a QOL change since sorting now doesn't even sort at all, can't even sort filled/empty.

Classic ark noises

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 05:22 AM PST

When I first started ark one of the main things that grabbed my attention was the raptor idle noise, sorta sounded like a platypus

Please add an option to revert to those nostalgic tones

✌ have a nice day/night

Can you really overwhelm smaller griefers with tons of vaults?

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 08:56 AM PST

FINALLY got to the vault level. Very small official PVP server on Switch. No threats in my server atm. Haven't seen any griefers come from other servers yet either. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

From what I've read there realistically are no surefire offline defenses. The best defense is to hide. And if you can't hide the next best defense is just to make raiding you annoying.

In this case, my base is completely blocked on the left and right by terrain. I'm thinking of just covering the roof and front and back with vaults. Is this really worth the time and mats? Or should I not waste my time?

Obviously these won't be my only defenses.

New Console (Xbox) Player with Resource Respawn Question

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 10:59 AM PST

Hello!
My brother and I have been playing The Island on Xbox on single player. Things have gone well so far, no huge bugs to report, other than our concern with resource spawning.

Our first base we noticed that none of the trees, large rocks, or little rock piles were respawning. We moved base, and noticed the individual rocks on the ground respawn before our eyes, but nothing else seems to respawn. I had thought we might have to be far away from the area for a while for things to respawn, but we recently went back to our first base and still nothing has respawned.

I believe resources and dinos don't respawn close to foundations, but I'm talking in the woods near our place and down the beaches, far from any foundations placed. Most importantly, Herbivore Island. We mined that place out and nothing has come back. We are getting a bit discouraged as metal is a huge requirement for later game play and if it doesn't respawn, it's not going to make it very fun to play so why bother.

Is this a known issue? Any resolutions or fixes? Do we just upload our characters to another single player server? (Can we even do this?)

Thanks! :)

any ~vanilla island-only pvp servers out there?

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 10:46 AM PST

Haven't played ARK since extinction was a server-type (before the expansions; last patch was titanosaur introduction). Poked around a bit this week on officials (not a fan of most mods or multipliers), and mostly just found a low-pop, fragmented wasteland. Seems like the population is totally split between maps/server variants (even within official). Transferring between servers also seems to have had the expected effect--of the few servers I ran around on, several were empty wastelands with all the existing (gutted) structures on nearly identical decay timers (serverwide). No existing bases (anywhere). Reluctant to turn to unofficial--but are there any pvp servers out there still playing offical-ish (or slightly buffed like old extinction or smalltribes seems to be) settings on the island without DLC dinos/tech. Regular wipes would be welcome--1-3 month timescale I guess.

edit: can't get over the feeling that transfers ruined any semblance of pvp =(

PSA: mute stereo mix on your PC

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 06:19 AM PST

there's a bug with ark that automatically puts your mic on open whenever you switch server yet didn't close the game. this is a longstanding bug, which is fine as long as you don't talk about private information with your mic on.

however you need to know of a greater evil: stereo mix. could be named as something else on your pc if you're not using realtek audio, basically something that picks up the audio playing on your computer and sending it to an output, like your headphone.

ark uses this as well as your mic input. not sure why is this not an option or a thing but it's been doing this since a long time ago. I know about it when scorched earth first came out.

it is possible to have your mic on yet soft switched off on your computer, and ark will still broadcast it because of stereo mix.

to prevent any embarrassing situation while taming your giga please go to the levels tab and put it on mute. ark will not be able to feed *ahem* sounds from your computer to your friends anymore.

you can find stereo mix here

Please fix Velona related Battleye Desync

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 04:01 AM PST

There currently is some fault/error with Velonas in the game which can lead to the client getting disconnected (Battleye kick: client not responding). When rendering in an area with many Velonas you will get desynced and you can eventually get disconnected (after like 3minutes or so). It is likely to be some clipping issue with the Velona's unusual and big frame.

The more Velonas you have the higher the likelihood of desync and disconnect happening. Multiple Velona breeders who are most affected by this issue already made detailed bug reports, yet even after months there seems to be no progress made towards fixing this issue. €dit: It goes without saying that this can be abused aside from the fact that everyone affected by this has an extremely poor game experience

Turning up gacha Quality loot?

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 02:08 AM PST

I heard that Gacha have been nerfed over last month or ish... Few weeks ago one person jojned my Private Server and he also wants to get 500% longnecks or pickaxes so does increasing like drop quality help with it or maybe some custom loot mod or something? (I'd prefer there to be better crystal and not better gear from like ramshackle ones...

QoL Suggestion - Extra Hotbar(s)

Posted: 27 Jan 2019 06:22 PM PST

Do you ever wish you could bind more than 10 items? Do you hate having to swap out the '0' slot whenever you need to passive tame? Does it annoy you when you want to put down 11 walls but you're not sure if it's worth dragging it on to the hotbar so you go into your inventory for each one?

WELL NO WORRIES MATES HERE IS AN IDEA FOR A SOLUTION - THE EXTRA HOTBAR(S)!

How it would work:
Exactly how the hotbar works now but with an additional keybind to swap to another bar that you can bind however you like. You could have a bar for farming, pvp, building, boss fights and SO MUCH MORE!

Other games do this. World of Warcraft has many bars but you can also swap the main one. Divinity: Original Sin lets you change between bars on each character.

This could be such a simple addition that would improve (at least my) life in Ark dramatically.

[Xbox] can you make foundations NOT have small gaps in between? Dinos and eggs fall between snapped together foundations during rendering process.

Posted: 27 Jan 2019 11:35 PM PST

I've been able to test, and replicate, the falling of eggs and dinos between 2 snapped together stone-stone and metal-metal foundations during render by parking dinos/dropping eggs very near the junction of said foundations, then leaving render and returning. Couldn't tell you how many floors I've had to demolish because of this issue that I've only just now figured out.

You can also confirm there is a gap between ceilings snapped together too when you're attempting to line up vaults on wood or thatch ceilings to drop them on top of vaults beneath.

This would not solve the issue where things fall directly underneath the middle of one foundation, unfortunately, but I've found this to largely NOT be the case most of the time.

[Dev Request] Can we have Charge Nodes on Aberration function like Transmitters?

Posted: 27 Jan 2019 02:26 PM PST

Hi guys, just had an incident where I lost my character after transfer because I was trying to unlock the engram for the Tek Transmitter so I could use it. So I thought of a simple solution so that people don't need to risk transferring their characters to have easy-to-access Tek Transmitters: Allow Charge Nodes to be used just like Transmitters in the same way that City Terminals on Extinction allow transfers.

The Charge Nodes are far sparser than City Terminals, they currently only have one use which is rarely used as element on Extinction is much easier to gather and is transferable as dust. So how about it Wildcard? Give the Aberration players some well-deserved love for their troubles? ;)
