If after patching, you're having problems launching ARK: Genesis on Xbox. Please search the Store for a Genesis Part One addon. This will be a free download which Season Pass holders may need to start the expansion pack.
Update: Xbox: You should start to see the download now, you may have to restart your consoles to get the patch! PC: Please relaunch your steam application, and the Genesis start up bug should be fixed. If that doesn't work, please verify your steam files.
I guess I was right on the XBOX update:
Update: Xbox: ARK: Genesis has been published, so you should start to see the download in the next 30 to 60 minutes PC: We are currently investigating an issue where players are unable to launch ARK: Genesis on Steam.
The team is aware of some issues of being kicked back to the main menu or sent back to the store page. More info to come!
For those on PS4, you can go to this URL to acquire the addon (it's only available for those with the Genesis Season Pass):
Update:
- Steam: Genesis is live! Please restart your applications to download the patch. - PS4: Genesis is available, but you will need to download the 'Genesis Part 1' addon which can be found in your Playstation Stores - We are still working on Xbox and will update you asap.
I smell an XBOX cooking.. or is it an XBOX update.. or is it food? Follow @survivetheark , I'm worthless.
ARK: Genesis Part 1 Expansion Pack!
The marathon continues. PC it's almost your time!!!
PC is up next! At this point, some people have been up over 30 hours. What are we running on?
Passion. Pure passion.
OK 20% caffeine
And 5% sugar
PS4 patches should be live!
XBOX servers are going online. This should allow those who received an update to get back on. Those without the update will need it to get back on.
The latest:
STATUS: - We expect PC and PS4 players will able to begin downloading Genesis at 6.30PM PST - We're in the process of getting non-Genesis Xbox servers updated and online - Xbox players, we'll keep you posted as to when Genesis has completed publishing and is available to play
"You guys should do all platforms at once for goodness sakes!!!"
Based on MY latest guesstimate, 6PM (PST) for PC and PS4. What about XBOX? Figuring it out.
The latest Xbox update may not be the full/correct Genesis update. Still trying to sort it out!
Just to give you some insight. If there were something fundamentally broken or programmatically wrong with the build, a 4-6 hour delay wouldn't be enough for us to fix and redo certification. Rest easy, these are unrelated hiccups.
If I had to guess how long we're talking, it would be a few hours (<6 but >=2)
I'll keep you updated on developments.
