ARK Survival Evolved Dev Tracker

The current deployment underway can be summarised as:

Exploit Fixes. Mesh Biting Fixes. Exploit Fixes. Terrain Fixes. Exploit Fixes. Exploit Fixes.

Thanks to the players who turned them in. Thanks to the QA team for the fast repros. No thanks to the jerks who exploited them.

In the meantime, aside from the hardware upgrades and crash fixes underway, I suggest, if you are on a busy server with large bases and lots of dinos raising, only rendering those creatures in when necessary if possible. It will help.

I considered lowering rates prior to the end of the event but it wouldn't address the main cause of the issue. That cat's outta the bag. We're looking into ways to make baby timers/growth/feeding less resource intensive for the next event.

Whilst we're on an adjacent subject: Some crashes have been fixed, more upgrades will roll out BUT extended 4x is going to result in messed up dino spawns, more frequent crashes, perf issues. Primarily due to the amount of babies players are raising.

Also:

OC-PVE-Official-Ragnarok208
NA-PVE-Official-Ragnarok383 (moved to own machine and debugging a crash with it also)
EU-PVE-Official-Valguero516

Some servers were moved to new machines. This means, aside from players on those servers experiencingmore stability, that those servers will have a new IP. You'll need to re-add those to your favourites and these servers will not be correctly detected on sites like battlemetrics.

We're in the process of continuing the roll out of hardware upgrades on some of our servers (those we didn't get to upgrading in the recent roll out players may recall) Included is a list of those servers we've upgraded over the past few days. More to come.

Are you finding yourself with some extra time on the couch? Fear not! The base game and Explorer's Edition are up to 70% off in the @XBOX store! Grab a friend and join in on the adventure! #playARK

Plus some sneaky fixes to exploits. We've also made good progress on mesh biting and I expect we'll have that ready for next week. Along with fixes for reapers, ferox and more.

Take care out there and let your loved ones know they're special to you. Later guys o/

Okay team, three people at the Studio lost family members to Corona over the past couple of days and it's feeling too sombre for 60 sec patch notes.

Today's patch: fixes to event colour spawns and invis creatures, implementation of new tech re: cheating on Win10/Crossplay,

@AleshiaDowns okay, there was an issue with the cook and it's going to safer to recook and deploy in the morning. Sorry guys, we want these fixes in too but risking other issues with rushing this is something we don't want to do to you all.

Will be a sad day when Grimes returns to her home galaxy with Elon Musk and their baby ✨

Hope they take that 200IQ level brutalism Cybertruck with them though, looks like an irate triangle

Working on console dedicated server support for Genesis. Also working on some new implementations for Win10 servers in relation to 3rd party software.

That's it. That's the tweet.

@lxXxChippyxXxl @ComplexMinded Fixed, let me know how it goes

#playARK

To comply with external requests to minimize network traffic (patch updates) during primetime hours, the Eggcellent Adventure path will be going out later than usual for event patches (~8PST).

Companies, understandably, are trying to mitigate and prevent network issues.
