A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.
It's been another amazing year taking part in ExtraLife and raising money for kids in need! During our annual 24-hour ExtraLife stream, the ARK Community raised a staggering $184,502! The ARK community helped us reach new records this year. The Studio Wildcard team was the #1 team for most of Game Day and the highest we've ever been before (previously #3)! Additionally, we reached #2 on individual fundraising setting a new record for individual donations!
This seventh year of participating in GameDay with ExtraLife puts us well over $400K raised and we couldn't have done it without the ARK community! We are grateful for our generous, supportive players, partners & sponsors, & the opportunity to help facilitate this endeavor. Here's a recap of everything you may have missed during the 24-hour event!

Steam Deck and Proton[www.twitch.tv]
ARK: Survival Evolved is fully functional on Steam Proton, which means it'll work right out of the box if you're lucky enough to get your hands on a Steam Deck! It fully supports the expansions packs, free maps, and mods. As of this week, we've also got it working with BattlEye which means you'll be able to play on Official Servers or other BattlEye supported servers.
Linux players can also get their hands on the Proton version by downloading the Steam Beta client and in ARK's steam game properties, make sure you've enabled "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool", this will enable the use of Proton. In the future we'll be moving Proton to the default version of the Steam Game for Linux players, however, we'll continue to support the native version which will be required for older hardware as Proton requirements are higher. At that time we'll provide further instructions on how you can switch to the native version, but for now it won't be necessary.
Thank you for helping us reach our goals and supporting a great cause!
