Alrighty, news is out there now. Probably no surprise to most that Dollie and myself have been working on ARK for sometime now. We're glad to finally be able to introduce some of ATLAS new crew members, including their Community folk.

It was a pleasure sailing the seas with y'all and we're looking forward to the changes that are coming from the team.

Ahoy Pathfinders,

News from the Cabin!
Major news! We have been working on our plans for some time and getting ready to give all you Pathfinders the details of our new ATLAS journey. We’re growing the development team and we’ll be starting to introduce those team members to you next week!

Updates! Our first major change to the ATLAS will be a whole new World Map which is designed to intensify the fun at higher levels and make it a bit safer for lower level players. This is just the first step in the greater plan to shift gameplay from the land out on to the open seas! This new World Map drops in the first half of July for both PC and Xbox.

Another piece of ATLAS’ grander plan is to focus on PVP play with an eye towards breaking out PVE play into something else.   As part of this plan, we’ll be taking NA PVE offline and leaving the EU PVE server as the official PVE world for the time being.  

Bringing a new World Map online will require a comple... Read more

Crystal Isles is 150 square kilometers of colorful scenery and awe-inspiring biomes teeming with life. This map's supernatural beauty has won the hearts of the ARK community since its debut as a mod in 2016, and we've polished it to bring out its shine.

Hey folks,

We're currently investigating reports of players not being able to log onto specific bases as it causes the game to crash (application to shut down). If you are experiencing this on an Official Server, please fill out the information below. Specifically, having the location is most important as it enables us to carry out some data collection and analysis to identify why this is happening and how we can improve it going forward.

What type of Xbox are you using? (Is it a regular, S, or One X?)

What network are you experiencing this on?

Which grid?

Which island?

Do you have the CCC? This isn't something you're able to get on Xbox, however, if you have PC players in your company, they can help out:


Thank you very much!

We've got a fix in the pipeline for maps, it's currently going through cert at the moment, unfortunately, it's not something we can fully put through its paces until it's in the live environment, so we'll have to see for sure whether this will resolve all cases.

@BugeyedflyOkay that sounds like a different issue to the Comcast one. I will reach out to our hosts to see if there are any additional diagnostics we can run to identify why that might be the case. I assume your Xbox has its NAT set to open?

Additional info re: Comcast, they say that the issue should be resolved on their end and if there's still any trouble, you can contact them directly. I reached out to them via twitter https://twitter.com/comcastcares but I am sure there are other avenues to explore too.

There are some significant differences despite the similarities in mechanics and visuals. Are you able to see non-dedicated servers and join those?

Out of curiosity, are you able to join Non Official Servers? Say an unofficial Nitrado?

could I know who your ISP provider is?

Thank you very much for the additional information! I have followed up with Comcast and I believe this is a change that they'll have to make, but I am not sure when that'll be. I will ping them again.
