MAINTENANCE COMPLETE!
Beginning at 2am CET on January 30th (8PM EST January 29th) we will be taking down some of our EU servers for maintenance. We will be performing successive hardware upgrades, therefore the affected servers will be shut down in waves across the maintenance period. A list of all affected servers is below by platform.
PC
PS4
Xbox
So we're going to try and muster our inner artist today, stumble around in the dark for a bit and somehow end up with a pretty cool transition material. This is going to be the effect for any time out virtual creatures spawn in or out of the world.

Hello Survivors!
On January 28th beginning at 7am EST we will be conducting a small maintenance on a portion of our NA Official Servers. During this time the servers will go offline in succession therefore all will not be going down promptly at 7am. The servers will not be running during this maintenance period once they are down. We anticipate the full maintenance duration to take a few hours however the servers will be booted back up shortly after they are taken down, which should minimize individual downtime.
A list of all affected servers is below, by platform.

[MAINTENANCE COMPLETE!]
Hello Survivors!
On January 24th and 25th we will be conducting maintenance on a portion of our NA Official Servers, not all are affected (see lists below). January 24th at 3am EST there will be a network outage which will prevent players from joining the affected servers while we perform upgrades to our network. Network outage is expected to last no more than two hours. January 25th 3am EST through 11am EST we will be performing successive hardware upgrades, therefore the affected servers will be shut down in waves across the maintenance period.

Alright, we've crammed our creature into a crystal somehow, now it's time to take it back out when we need it. (No WD-40 required)
I did make some changes to stuff that we did in the last tutorial, in particular:
Changed Sentry Tower Segments to be of inventory type structures
In the Virtualization Station Platform, our function for getting the dino data has been simplified a bit thanks to a new property on the struct.
We have removed the "Structure" aspect of the crystals. We have to go all in on them being equipable items for what I have planned.

Structures Plus (S+) & Kibble Rework Beta!
It is finally here! This is the first time we've done a public beta branch for ARK, so here is a lengthy but necessary introduction.
As a quick starting note: Before accessing a beta branch you should create a backup of any single player games, characters, or server files that you may have for ARK to prevent any corruption or loss of player data from occurring. When you’re done playing with the beta you’ll need to navigate back to the branch selection dialogue and opt-out of the beta (choose NONE). You cannot access your official server while on the beta because they are not the same version. Depending on your internet connection this process could take some time so if you’re doing anything time sensitive on your official server, be cautious of swapping!
How to access the beta:
From your Steam games library, right-click on ARK: Survival Evolved and choose Properties. From thi...

[MAINTENANCE COMPLETE] At 12:00pm Eastern on January 8th we will be taking down some of Asia servers for maintenance. We expect maintenance to last for approximately 2 hours. During this time the servers will not be running therefore time will not progress. Once the servers are back online, they will require re-adding to your favorites list as they will have new IP addresses. Below is a list of all affected servers.

Hey Survivors! Welcome to the first (and also short) edition of the Community Crunch for 2019!
2018 in Review!
Happy New Year, Survivors! Thank you all for making us a part of your 2018. It has truly been an insane year for us. As always we are humbled by your support of all things ARK and we could not have achieved these milestones without you.
Let's bring in the new year with a roar, and keep on surviving in 2019!
Structure Plus & Kibble Rework!
We look forward to being back in the office this week and back to the grind so we can bring you more ARK this year. In case you missed our post about it, two of the main things we are currently working on in the month of January include Structures Plus and the Kibble rework, which you can read about here:
The extra exciting news is that we will be launching a public beta on PC for the next round of S+ implementation and the kibble changes...
Read morePC PvE Legacy Saves have now been updated in the list!
I promise I will get these ready this week. It's been on my plate but a bit back burned due to many other ARK issues. I apologize that my "this week" has now been an extended week. I do have a reminder for it though that I see every day so I will not forget!
Yeah, I got in touch with their top people and made sure things go a little more smoothly in the future. I'm glad we got you sorted out
Apologies for the lack of communication on this. The client update wasn't in sync with the server update as intended. Due to it being in the middle of the night for most of our team, we were unable to deploy servers. The servers have now been deployed with the new version and you should be able to connect.
Fear Evolved is not supported in the ActiveEvent system as we only began using it this year and didn't have Fear Evolved this year. ActiveEvent can be used for: Easter, Arkaeology, ExtinctionChronicles, and WinterWonderland.
The event auto activates and includes any server that doesn't run a TC.
Thanks for bringing this up, we don't run this store, it's a partner company, so I'll get in touch with them immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I do believe this might be close to what you are looking for. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1354681709
Shoot me a message on twitter and we can discuss it.
Thanks.
As the main issues behind the PvE server crashes and performance issues has been resolved, I'm locking this thread. Please make a new thread for additional issues.
