Console will get the fix too, it gets them all, but some fixes require client updates, which means a patch needs to go through Microsoft & Sony's certification.

When this initial fix was done, we had already submitted our TLC update to cert, and therefore this wasn't able to make it in; however, it should make it into the next.

This delay doesn't exist on PC because we can freely release client updates whenever we have them ready on Steam and EGS without needing to go through a cert process, which allows us to be more rapid with our fixes.

We'll have an update in December for PS5 which will essentially bring over the same upgrades we did for the Xbox Series X. Here's what to expect:

I hope so. I love the lore of Ark, and this bug is a big kick to the stomach.

Client patch should have gone out on PC to resolve the issue (shouldn't have been present on console).

Ahhhhhh. We should have fixed the level up text/icon notifications with this major, damn. We'll have to get it next time -- at least the text on the top of the screen.

An update was released for Mac that brought them up to v313, so this issue has been resolved.

Cool, just making sure it went through. Sorry about the delay on that.

Are you still having issues connecting via Mac on EGS?

To note Jat this was all possible on PS4, and filmed a day prior. Perhaps console haven't received a patch yet?

The fixed aspects of this aren't on console yet but will be when we patch the client next, however there are some things we've still to tackle so I appreciate the report :)

Great to see this has reached you Jat. We're you aware of all of the exploits shown?

Partially, we still have some things we need to iterate on (but were already looking into)

If we were to do it, a server config would probably be more appropriate if one does not exist already (we've an extensive list so I can't remember em all). Though not sure if we'd do something like this.

About to find out 🙃. So far looks like our recent PC changes has made this less effective. We'll keep playing around with it but so far the early indication looks like you won't be able to get foundation support to build out something that truly floats (or anything more than pillars/fence supports -- which if one piece demos, everything would collapse except what has support).

Will keep investigating tho.

Edit: Yep some of this has been fixed, but not all of it 😢

I think Epic runs their own servers so if you got Ark through their store them going down affects you, but idk for sure I got it on steam.

This is the general idea. Players using EGS have to be authorised by their backend to connect to our/other ARK servers. It's like when Steam is down and you're not able to play certain games because you're not able to be authed, or if Xbox Live is down, etc.

Silverlining is that this one seems to be intermittent so there's a chance to get on and usually things like this can affect many titles & systems, so it's usually a priority to get investigated and resolved as soon as possible.

We've also been able to identify some new crashes caused by this so we're fixing those up right now.

It looks like Epic are having some authentification issues at the moment which reasonably could prevent you from being able to join online servers. Here's a link to their status page:

https://status.epicgames.com/

A temporary work around for now is to continue relaunching and closing the application, sometimes the auth does succeed and you should be able to see the button, hopefully they'll be able to resolve their issue soon.


Edit: Looks like their servers are back online as of 2 hours ago so hopefully you guys are able to see the Join button right away now :)
