Returned Player: left just after centres release

Hey survivors is there a godly soul out on the ark (Official PvE) that could do this old timer a one in a million by crafting/trading me a transmitter and afew pairs of Tek binoculars?
Let me know what I can farm you up and I’ll get onto it

I’ll be boss for ready in about a weeks time to get back on top of tek but being a solo player I found the easiest to fastest way for me to do it is island bosses (arti and trophy wise)
I have my main base on ragnarok and have a cliff platform base (still setting up) set up right over red ob on the island to work my boss fights from.
The trip home from the island is no worry at all. I just jump down from my platform and check the timer, but on Ragnarok I have a southern island (pic attached) and the fly to and ob just find a timer is yaking my puzzle the wrong way.

Sorry for the long read but hopefully someone can help 🤙🏼🙏🏻
Cheers

Ps I’m alpha ascended, I wouldn’t of asked if I couldn’t use it 🤙🏼

Discussion Returning After Years… Is ORP Really on Everything?

0 Upvotes

**EDIT: I find it funny everyone is taking this as I’m searching for bases to offline.**💀 we got ark trama in here? It’s ok I won’t offline ur base

OG player here (400+ days played).

I haven’t touched ARK in a few years. I tried the new one when it first launched and just couldn’t get into it.

So here I am… downloading nearly 200GB again for the nostalgic solo grind, and to relive what made ARK great.

The problem?

Almost every unofficial server I find is loaded with ORP (Offline Raid Protection).

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I honestly think ORP is one of the worst things added to ARK—right up there with fibercraft servers. It completely ruins the survival/pvp aspect of the game.

Does anyone know of any good servers that are:
10x–15x rates
No ORP
Semi player base (my sweet spot I like is 5-25 pop servers)
Preferably not fibercraft or super boosted Dino’s / stats

Discussion Friend doesn’t understand ark help

24 Upvotes

My buddy recently picked up ASA and I got a server so we don’t have to deal with non dedicated issues. He’s been having a really hard time, he dies a lot and loses our tames almost constantly. He eventually realized that he’d rather be on his own and learn that way so he has. He’s been doing good, tamed a parasaur etc.Hes still dying and losing all his tames and I’m doing everything I can to help. He’s now getting to the point where he should be trapping tames because they’re too dangerous but he says that’s dumb and it doesn’t require any skill? So he’s just in an endless loop of struggle and rage while I’m getting wyverns and 150 Rex’s. I don’t know how to help him. He refuses to learn. Please help

ARK Steam verification stuck at 99% for hours

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm installing ARK: Survival Evolved on Steam to an external 500 GB HDD. The download completed successfully (about 62 GB), but Steam has been stuck at 99% "Verifying" for several hours. The steamapps/common folder is still empty, while the steamapps/downloading/346110 folder contains about 190 GB of files. My HDD is still active (around 50–100% usage), so it doesn't seem completely frozen, but the verification never reaches 100%. Has anyone experienced this before? Is this normal for ARK, or should I stop the verification and try something else? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Need Help - ASA Crashing on Steam

1 Upvotes

I’m about at my wits end here. Just got a new PC and I can’t get ark ascended to launch. It’s either a black screen with audio behind it or it freezes before I even load into a game, I get a message that says the application has ‘hung’ and I have to restart my whole system to reopen and try again but it’s been 2 days and I’ve tried every possible solution I’ve found on Reddit and steam support. I don’t know if it’s the components of my PC or display but I’m about ready to burn my entire setup. I’ve factory reset my pc, updated my drivers, re-installed the game 4 times, cleared caches etc nothing is working. Hoping someone a lot smarter than me can help me out here (I’m not super knowledgeable about PC’s).

My PC build is:
- PROCESSOR: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D
- 32 GB RAM
- GRAPHICS CARD: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16GB), AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics (486MB)
- DISPLAY 1 (main): VG27WQ3B (2560 x 1440)
- DISPLAY 2: Acer XF270H B

If there’s someone who knows how I need to set this up to work PLEASE HELP.
