This. 💯 I would rather still have JUST the Island and an optimised game that actually works, instead of the sloppy broken mess we currently have, barfing out map after map, each plagued with bugs and glitches.
@@MisterHorncastleI much prefer a fuck ton of maps rather than a map I completed everything in 2 months. Ark right now is pointless, I have every needed tame, every cool tame, every maxed out bp there is nothing left to do bring new content
@unclientrandom5371 Unless you're speedrunning the maps, skipping the notes, or being carried by an alpha tribe, one can spend a very long time enjoying one map. Wanting new maps BEFORE the game gets fixed/optimised really ain't the best mentality, as it's the approach that soils the experience for the majority of the playerbase.
Here's my Steam review: ASA can't decide what it wants to be when it grows up. ARK used to be an amazing dinosaur survival, crafting game but now it's... who knows what it really is now. They haven't fixed issues or added content that aligns with it's original premise. Instead it's a rush to push out anything to sell, regardless if it's playable or even makes sense.
Unfortunately this is an actual description of ASA, they need to fix the game and go back to what made Ark great, the story, the Dinosaur/other animals, the world it needs to go back to making fun and challenging word that people want to explore and spend there time into, not just some cheap remake cash grab that barely works unless you turn down your settings so low that it doesn’t even look like a remake anymore.
Putting on my project manager hat, I would say that's not as good an idea as that sounds. Does a really big team actually make the performance update better? Not necessarily. It's a frustrating wait but I'm sure they already know that.
1080p on epic on ASE uses 80 watts. 1080p on epic on ASA uses 330 watts. Noone ever mentions the power drain, If you pay the electric bill and spend 5-10 hours a day on the game,then it mounts up quickly. PTW is piss poor. Wouldn't it be nice if Wildcard could buy it back from Snail?
Every paid for DLC on ASE was pay to win only difference was everyone could use every tame without owning the DLC if they got their hands on it Look at the gap between someone maining island compared to Gen 2
Wildcard is incapable of optimizing the game , They DON'T have the knowledge to optimize it. All they know how to do is reskin and write JUNK code and blame it on other factors .
I preferred the ase character model and customisation menu but over all I like asa more I'm a console player so I can finnaly use mods after years of having to watch TH-cam videos about mods
You sweet summer child. They'll shove out the maps, fix the major game-breaking bugs and exploits, then move on to the next paid content. They don't care enough to spit-shine what you already paid for, they're angling for the next $60 from you
I’ve never commented before, but I think everyone needs to hear this. I live in a small town and have the best wifi I can get around me and in ASA the lowest FPS I can get is 160 but is normally over 200 FPS. I play on the newest model of the Xbox x and it’s gotten so bad I can’t play aberration at all. Anytime I log in I get kicked off 10 seconds later no matter my settings. The other maps seem decently fine, but it’s hard to play knowing I don’t have access to my fav map and can crash and lose everything at any moment.
Mine PS5 runs everything fine with 160 to 200 Mbps wifi but idk what fps it's pushing the only time it gets sketchy is when like 25 or 30 plus people are on server at once but still doesn't blue screen like ase but I love both the games and like the new content on it now
Try this console command: R.Shadow.Virtual.Enable 0 It greatly improves xbox performance on Aberration without going full potato mode on the graphics. All the moving light sources on Ab have the game processing more dynamic shadows than the Xbox can handle at once.
ASA was nostalgic for me, it was like playing ASE 1.0 with fancy graphics. The AI, pathfinding horrible. Stumbling over rocks, impossible. Refunded, thankfully.
It's getting there. Still crashing often due to bugs and mods. Enjoying the new content. Optimization and performance needs to be a priority before gensis
i9 13900k, 4080S, 32gb of 5600 ram... Devkit wont even load the aberration editor. crashes every time. The devkit is nearly 700gb, I expect lag and it to take a bit to load, but 10mins of loading for the engine to crash is wild.
I feel that once Extinction is dropped they will have time to work on everything and balance these maps out before the other maps come. The center was dropped because everybody was complaining about not having enough content. That's why they dropped the center way before Extinction. The change in their plans were because of the players of Ark not because they changed it
Me and my friend are waiting for the caves to be fixed. Nearly everytime we die in the caves all our loot falls through the map. One of our dinosaurs even fell through the map after we exited the cave without it.
Maybe its because im a console player but im definitely ASA focused. I loved ASE but it would not run very well on console. I enjoy being able to fly my argy without the game dashboarding me. I will say aberration needs so work still. I had a nice single player playthrough going and it stopped loading the map. Could load any other map but ab so i eventually gave up and deleted the save. But other than that ASA has just been a breath of fresh air
I'm a fan of PVE, PVP is overrated and super toxic. I agree on Wildcard helping the performance going better, console should be priority with PC. But overall thank you for your updates and the info, appreciate it man 💪
I love asa, but it annoys me how low the camera height is in first person. I also don’t like that I have to run console commands so I can get more than 60fps. But everything else is amazing, I love the qol changes and the stunning visuals and the small changes to map layout and scale
Honestly i love ark and have since it came out but ever since ascended came out its just spoiled it all for me. Ascended shouldn't even be out yet it shouldve been pushed back until it would be finished. It runs horribly on xbox and has horrible ghosting and stuttering and it ruins the experience for me. Dont get me wrong the game is lovely visually but damn does it run so badly. Im hoping the optimisation update next year genuinely sorts out these issues especially the ghosting because the games visuals suffer when i see like 5 copies of my character whenever i turn the camera. I hope wildcard and mainly snail games sorts their stuff out, thank you for supporting the game through everything dom. You are the only thing keeping me hopeful of its return to greatness.
Everytime someone says the game runs bad on console doesnt make sense to me because everytime i play i have 0 problems it runs great and looks amazing ase runs so bad tho its like the complete opposite
For me i do hit above 30 fps which is fine but what i mean by it runs bad is that it isnt stable it constantly changes from around mid 40s to low 30s and sometimes shoots up to high 50s but when it does that the game stutters. Its not that the frame rate is actually bad its that it isnt consistent. I also have clouds off and even the resolution lowered to 1440p but with console commands 4k is literally unplayable even with clouds off@@PandaRapter
You all say things like "they could've pushed it back" but in reality, Those same individuals would've ranted and complained all the same. We got very lucky WC didn't just pull the plug on ASE and walk.
@@NeneTheToad i completely agree that loads and loads of people wouldve ranted and complained. Its stupid and pointless and i cant even deny that i wouldve been one of those but in the current standings ide rather the team take a no mans sky approach as best they can.
My biggest gripe is that there's no OfficialORPClusters on ASA or ASE anymore. Pretty much wiped official pvp players that need to maintain jobs, relationships and children.
well if I'm honest I didn't really start playing ASA till this week (I have had other commitments to prioritize such as Dryland mushing & sled racing/training), I don't hate it I really miss Rag! it is glitchy & its frustrating but it is the better game, also I feel like people seem to have forgotten what ASE was like & potentially have just comfortable of where it is now. I think ASA is the trend bucker & time is it's friend. I love that you have a wee cluster once I've enjoyed some single player I might have to come take a look
I played 7k hours ASE offi PvE , now 700 hours ASA . both on XBox . ASA on Xbox Series X and i have not many problems. I love the graphics and i have only 1 dc in 10h play time. Only the ping on Aberration is still so high , i cant fly with rockdrake... I cant wait for dec 16 !!!!!
I believe they will. They're still working on the optimization now so why will they stop? Either way, most fun game I've played. And I've played Elden Ring and other game of the year games. The difference is that Ark is simply a game I can always return to and find new content. Even after a thousand hours. So I believe WC is trying their best to optimize thier game.
And as an old school player of video games. I would like someone that knows better than me to explain to me what the FPS has to do with anything because I've been running just fine. I don't notice anything different no matter which way my FPS goes but then again I played games in the '90s so I'm used to 30 FPS
there would be plenty of people playing pvp still if they didn’t basically ruin ratholes and unintentionally incentivized bigger tribes to spam maps even harder because of the cryopod changes. pvp is borderline impossible to play as a small 1-4 person tribe unless your skirting a extremely fine line of meshing with ratholes
They need to fix the server list. I've been trying to get back on the same one for 3 days now, every time I refresh the list, different servers appear instead of the one I am on.
If this is going to be a 200 player server, do you think that's too much you're going to knack up? All the spawn points seen this once before and it wasn't pretty to see
I have been playing Ark for 3 years. I bought a new computer in anticipation ok ASA. I have nearly 2k hours on ASA and have had a few issue's. Most were mod related or mod map issues. I have 32 mods loaded and have very few issues. I have enjoyed playing both versions and I'm maininly concerned with content. They will get there with the game and i will enjoy mod maps until then.
Been out for a year and still can't adjust the UI on console to work well with a controller. It saddens me to know that console is forced into keyboard/mouse just to play decently
Wild Card has never optimized their games that much. Back when ASE first launched in Early access I had a really decent gaming computer. I had to up date that good computer so that I could play ASE without issues. It was literally a matter of computers catching up to ASE's demands and not them optimizing the game to fit the current tech market. Honestly from everything I've seen, they are following everything they did with ASE to the T. Don't forget ASE was the first game to ever release Paid DLC WHILE in Early Access! I've seen this a lot recently with several other sequels and remakes, but people keep expecting everything they had in the original game, but that og game had years of updates and DLC. City Skylines for example. The base game is bare bones without dlc and mods... so why did people expect more in the sequel? Don't get me wrong, they should have delayed that release or released it in Early Access, but as far as the actual game itself? It wasn't LESS then base game Skylines and definitely had some more to it so it was an upgrade, but people wanted and expected skylines with all the DLC but in Skylines II's base game.
I spent 3k updating my PC and I still have to use console commands at start up to play the game. Despise the anti trap AI on the dinos. If they added a water avoidance protocol for torpor running I would not mind so much, but I used traps because dinos B-line to water and stay in there. The terrain changes left so much ground uneven with not a lot of good plots to build a cozy base on. Storage mods still reign and that hint has never been taken. I have a job that deals with people, so I tend to play offline so I can just manage myself and not have to worry about minding neighbors, but wait, where are my penguins? Great, they fixed the cryopods by making like they were in the first place.. Still seeing paid DLC creatures on my free maps that I did not pay for. Do I seriously need to literally be attacked by an advertisement? Oh and premium mods, sold through a sleazy site that demands you waive your right to a refund to make a purchase. Can you guess why I do not and will not own any premium mods? ASA has potential, but the lack of performance work and some very questionable design decisions have really put a turd in the punch bowl. Frankly the only reason i play is because the ability to run events was left disabled on ASE. I will give credit where due and say things have improved a little after a year, but what sits before me is still not living up to it's potential. I say this as some one that loves Ark and want to see it be the best it possibly can be, not just for my enjoyment, but to see something I love be something more than just a few thousand die hard fans hold on to. The potential is there, but Wild Card really needs to take a step back and really look at what they are doing from a different perspective. They are kind of suffering the deviantart plague. Yes, they are the artist and know what they were going for, but almost no one is seeing the same thing. It does not mean everyone is stupid, it means you missed the mark.
After a year, i still have frequent freezes and rubberbanding. This is very frustrating. This is the single most frustrating part of the game. That said, Bob's Tall Tales is IMHO the best addition to the game.
I think it's better but... has more bugs. I've gotten used to restarting my aberation server every hour to stay ahead of getting disconnected. Not sure if it's been fixed cuz I always restart. That being said, I still play everyday. Just wish it was a smoother game.
was very disappointed when I bought ASA on my xbox, wanting to play it on my PC when I got it finished. I ended up downloading it through Xbox app on my PC when it was finished, but then found out that Nvidia DLSS was disabled entirely. I struggled to make 60 frames with what is honestly a pretty dang beefy PC (14th gen I7 and 4070 Super 32 GB 6200 Ram) and stopped playing until the last optimization update, and now I can make roughly 70 frames with really bad 1% frames. DLSS is still disabled i the Xbox version, and I really don't know if it's worth Repurchasing the game on Steam just to have playable frames.
Asa is better than ase, but but it’s the kind of better that a new glitchy printer is compared to the old one. Better options, more papers, but constant glitches that make it a headache
I rebought ASA 3 times before I actually stuck with it, once on release day which was on my older PC and the performance was awful (2060, i5), then again 3 months or so later to see if they made it any better and to my shock of course they didn't and then I bought a new PC this year (i7, 4060) and I was going to wait till I bought a new GPU since I was waiting for the 5000 series launch I actually just pulled the trigger and it ran pretty good in August. When Abberation released they removed the one thing that made my game run smooth which was FG and it ran horribly, since then I didn't touch it till about a week ago when I bought a server to play with some friends and well it runs fine I suppose (50-70fps) just depends on the situation and I've noticed modded maps tend to run better than the vanilla ones so we're playing on Astraeos and other than the occassional crash or two it is more than playable so I'm just bearing with it. Hopefully the new 5.4 update makes it better since it could be a hell of a lot nicer
How much ram and are you using the 4060 to 16gn 4060 ti 8 gb or just the 4060 and are you using the i7-14700f cpu? Also are your setting epic high medium or low
@@superdinoholt2956 4060 8GB, i7-13700KF - I can actually use FG on the newest Ark version which has made it significantly more stable and smooth but raw performance is still horrible and will be for a while I'd imagine.
Wildcard unfortunately seems to have taken the path of microtransactions and poor performance. It feels less like a truly upgraded version of ASE and more like a cashgrab with no heart put into it. It has potential if they would just chuck the pay-to-win and content pumping out the window and focus on delivering a better quality product.
I play asa pve on my series s but yeah performance is horrible having to turn shadows clouds fog just to get decent frames my game crashes almost all the time on center at the volcano island as well as when I load in other players bases It also seems way harder to find Dino’s I need idk may just be my server with less Dino’s since ping averages 200 for some reason
Dont get me wrong, Ark is a great game, its just the dev's that dont fix game crashes on aberration . Its so bad that you have an avarage crash of about once every 10 to 12 minutes. Its that bad on that map. The other maps you might get a crash once every hour.
I got a question if the community can answer me they know that PlayStation keeps crashing why do they not fix that I loved the game really love It but my friends left the game because of the crashing Please answer that Why the game keeps crashing I'm playing other games for like hours and do not crash I play arc survival for like 5 minutes or 6 crash So please somebody explained that
Well they also said fuck the windows pvp players so anybody who purchased the game on Windows And wants to play PVP and didn't refund it justin, a game that's useless to them unless they want to play unofficial
The game itself as a base concept is fun.And looks great. But day to day things like dinosaurs locking on each other because you came close to each other is bullshit. Inventory menu's constantly shuffling for no fucking reason. Constant Lag and crashes. Chat breaks every time you Try to type. Did you know I figured out how to fix that you're plugging a f****** mouse?You're wiggle it, then you hit enter.Then you move your controller and you hit enter again.And this changes from one interface to the other fixing their shit temporarily. The fact that I have to come up with ways to fix their game for them is so stupid but it looks nice.
My opinion is that as a game strictly speaking asa is better than ase especially when all the maps are out but I feel wildcard is getting worse at monetization especially bobs tall tales is fine in my opinion but the pyromane and to a lesser extent the dread mare really annoy me the way they were sold
@@shadowryth7308 yea, but i literally drop my old game and became full time ark, back then tho the game was unplayable now it is playable just bug there, and there thats all
OR secretly not work on ARK 2. Lets face it, they put all their effort into Ark2 and ASA is what they released to get money. ASA basically IS Ark2, at least in our lifetime.
Regardless of all the crap I love Ark I love playing on my Ps5 I’ve only had 3 crashes , in the year it’s been out I love the mods and I’ve played this game 12 hours straight with no problems . Yes it needs fixing BUT THE moaners will continue to moan that’s THE ARK world. All I say is my Dino’s rock my ps5 world …and that’s coming from a Ark player of 6 years and counting
It's hard to give it a proper chance when it keeps crashing every 10 to 15 minutes. Don't get me wrong, I personally love ARK; I just would love to have a more stable game. And it starts to get to where it feels like I paid for a product and all the added cost of the mods and DLC and can't even play. It feels like you got taken advantage of.
Honestly I fucken love Ark ascended seing this game look this good and sure it has some issues buts that's fucking ARK so boohoo plus the new content inst expensive and it's cool as fuck I'm phyced for extinction and can't wait to see all the evolved dlc on ascended. HOWEVER Ark Survival Evolded modded especially primal fear on crystal isles is still fire 🔥
What's the difference in single player than official pve? I guess having tribe mates. Just a hard time seeing where the competition is at I guess. The motivation. Trying to survive. You can just slap down a lil stone base on pve and the game is over 😂
There is a button "save settings" in the bottom of each screen. Best is to hit save before changing to the next category screen. For example you set the "Game Rules - Player" then save before moving on to the next category. Only then you move to "Game Rules - Creature" etc. Also be aware that every time you put the cursor in one of the box setting, you can lose/change the parameter that was already there. It can be a little tricky if u don't pay attention. Hope this helps
Sadly the things they said they would fix haven't been. Still buggy, glitchy and crashes. When it does, I just go play something else. So glad I got it cheap. The pay to win/play is BS.
Im playing on ps5 single player but the game just isnt saving. Im losing all of my progress, its making the game unplayable, i love ark so much, but its not enjoyable to play rn. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to stop the game not saving. Even destroyallwilddinos before saving using commands still wont help.
I like some of the changes but feel ase performed better and the spawning in ratholes was great for solo to 4man tribes ...now megas just go and wipe servers and because these servers are low pop from beeing wiped constantly devs delete these servers pushing more new people away
on Xbox it runs like shxt, 30-40fps. Ratholes are necessary for solos/duos to survive and the fact that some structures cant clip like forges or tek reps even on unofficial settings. The crap fps with the new 3rd person camera makes the game feel clunky, graphica are nice but the gameplay is terrible. Also mandatory crossplay was a mistake, most console players dont want to play with pc players, sorry but there are way too many cheaters on pc and this makes for a terrible experience
Wildcard thinks we are just a bunch of whiny babies. Sad truth is this isn’t the fact or the situation. Most of us play many other games and we deal with many other development studios. Those studios are professional, on time, considerate, and mostly polite to their audience. Wildcard is by FAR the worst studio I deal with. It’s just a fact. Sorry.
I haven't touched Ascended. Mostly, cause my PC can barely run evolved in the first place, but, ascended was such an unecessary "upgrade". OOOH PWETTY GRAPHICS! "BETTER STABILITY" ON U5 OVER U4! Nah. I'll pass. I'll take, decent graphics that don't blow up my PC, maps, dinos, and mechanics that have basically worked since launch, and IMO, a better made game.
Wildcard needs to prioritize in fixing the game then constantly adding to it

Im hoping the optimisation update next year genuinely sorts out these issues especially the ghosting because the games visuals suffer when i see like 5 copies of my character whenever i turn the camera. I hope wildcard and mainly snail games sorts their stuff out, thank you for supporting the game through everything dom. You are the only thing keeping me hopeful of its return to greatness.
Everytime someone says the game runs bad on console doesnt make sense to me because everytime i play i have 0 problems it runs great and looks amazing ase runs so bad tho its like the complete opposite
For me i do hit above 30 fps which is fine but what i mean by it runs bad is that it isnt stable it constantly changes from around mid 40s to low 30s and sometimes shoots up to high 50s but when it does that the game stutters. Its not that the frame rate is actually bad its that it isnt consistent. I also have clouds off and even the resolution lowered to 1440p but with console commands 4k is literally unplayable even with clouds off@@PandaRapter
@@PandaRapter whats your gamertag on xbox we can talk about it if you want like genuinely test and see what could influence it
You all say things like "they could've pushed it back" but in reality, Those same individuals would've ranted and complained all the same. We got very lucky WC didn't just pull the plug on ASE and walk.
@@NeneTheToad i completely agree that loads and loads of people wouldve ranted and complained. Its stupid and pointless and i cant even deny that i wouldve been one of those but in the current standings ide rather the team take a no mans sky approach as best they can.
My biggest gripe is that there's no OfficialORPClusters on ASA or ASE anymore. Pretty much wiped official pvp players that need to maintain jobs, relationships and children.
well if I'm honest I didn't really start playing ASA till this week (I have had other commitments to prioritize such as Dryland mushing & sled racing/training), I don't hate it I really miss Rag! it is glitchy & its frustrating but it is the better game, also I feel like people seem to have forgotten what ASE was like & potentially have just comfortable of where it is now. I think ASA is the trend bucker & time is it's friend.
I love that you have a wee cluster once I've enjoyed some single player I might have to come take a look
Dom... that thumbnail lol..😅
Even now Abberation has a bug with overspawning in the caves makes it unplayable....hard to want to pvp also with so many bugs and issues.
Guys remember ase had the same problem 3 years after launch just give Asa time it will improve
I played 7k hours ASE offi PvE , now 700 hours ASA . both on XBox . ASA on Xbox Series X and i have not many problems. I love the graphics and i have only 1 dc in 10h play time. Only the ping on Aberration is still so high , i cant fly with rockdrake... I cant wait for dec 16 !!!!!
I've been playing ark since it was a free preview on xbox. It was great then and it is phenomenal now. People will complain no matter what.
I wish I could believe they’d fix it after all maps are out, but the truth is that they’ll just increase focus on premium DLC
I believe they will. They're still working on the optimization now so why will they stop? Either way, most fun game I've played. And I've played Elden Ring and other game of the year games. The difference is that Ark is simply a game I can always return to and find new content. Even after a thousand hours. So I believe WC is trying their best to optimize thier game.
And as an old school player of video games. I would like someone that knows better than me to explain to me what the FPS has to do with anything because I've been running just fine. I don't notice anything different no matter which way my FPS goes but then again I played games in the '90s so I'm used to 30 FPS
there would be plenty of people playing pvp still if they didn’t basically ruin ratholes and unintentionally incentivized bigger tribes to spam maps even harder because of the cryopod changes. pvp is borderline impossible to play as a small 1-4 person tribe unless your skirting a extremely fine line of meshing with ratholes
They need to fix the server list. I've been trying to get back on the same one for 3 days now, every time I refresh the list, different servers appear instead of the one I am on.
Someone needs to buy this company, and take it away from snail.
If this is going to be a 200 player server, do you think that's too much you're going to knack up? All the spawn points seen this once before and it wasn't pretty to see
Grovestreet helped with ASA, Ark Switch and now see the continued pay to win Ark Mobile Revamp
What’s your pc specs or what do you recommend for asa?
I have been playing Ark for 3 years. I bought a new computer in anticipation ok ASA. I have nearly 2k hours on ASA and have had a few issue's. Most were mod related or mod map issues. I have 32 mods loaded and have very few issues. I have enjoyed playing both versions and I'm maininly concerned with content. They will get there with the game and i will enjoy mod maps until then.
Been out for a year and still can't adjust the UI on console to work well with a controller. It saddens me to know that console is forced into keyboard/mouse just to play decently
Wild Card has never optimized their games that much. Back when ASE first launched in Early access I had a really decent gaming computer. I had to up date that good computer so that I could play ASE without issues. It was literally a matter of computers catching up to ASE's demands and not them optimizing the game to fit the current tech market. Honestly from everything I've seen, they are following everything they did with ASE to the T. Don't forget ASE was the first game to ever release Paid DLC WHILE in Early Access! I've seen this a lot recently with several other sequels and remakes, but people keep expecting everything they had in the original game, but that og game had years of updates and DLC.
City Skylines for example. The base game is bare bones without dlc and mods... so why did people expect more in the sequel? Don't get me wrong, they should have delayed that release or released it in Early Access, but as far as the actual game itself? It wasn't LESS then base game Skylines and definitely had some more to it so it was an upgrade, but people wanted and expected skylines with all the DLC but in Skylines II's base game.
I spent 3k updating my PC and I still have to use console commands at start up to play the game. Despise the anti trap AI on the dinos. If they added a water avoidance protocol for torpor running I would not mind so much, but I used traps because dinos B-line to water and stay in there. The terrain changes left so much ground uneven with not a lot of good plots to build a cozy base on. Storage mods still reign and that hint has never been taken. I have a job that deals with people, so I tend to play offline so I can just manage myself and not have to worry about minding neighbors, but wait, where are my penguins? Great, they fixed the cryopods by making like they were in the first place.. Still seeing paid DLC creatures on my free maps that I did not pay for. Do I seriously need to literally be attacked by an advertisement? Oh and premium mods, sold through a sleazy site that demands you waive your right to a refund to make a purchase. Can you guess why I do not and will not own any premium mods?
ASA has potential, but the lack of performance work and some very questionable design decisions have really put a turd in the punch bowl. Frankly the only reason i play is because the ability to run events was left disabled on ASE. I will give credit where due and say things have improved a little after a year, but what sits before me is still not living up to it's potential. I say this as some one that loves Ark and want to see it be the best it possibly can be, not just for my enjoyment, but to see something I love be something more than just a few thousand die hard fans hold on to.
The potential is there, but Wild Card really needs to take a step back and really look at what they are doing from a different perspective. They are kind of suffering the deviantart plague. Yes, they are the artist and know what they were going for, but almost no one is seeing the same thing. It does not mean everyone is stupid, it means you missed the mark.
After a year, i still have frequent freezes and rubberbanding. This is very frustrating. This is the single most frustrating part of the game. That said, Bob's Tall Tales is IMHO the best addition to the game.
Every time they drop a new map It keeps crashing my PC until I reverify my files and tweak things. Ase never gave me these issues 😢
Im a series x player i love asa pvp but pve is more fun in the current state of asa wildcard needs to work on fixing the games issues
I think it's better but... has more bugs.
I've gotten used to restarting my aberation server every hour to stay ahead of getting disconnected. Not sure if it's been fixed cuz I always restart.
That being said, I still play everyday. Just wish it was a smoother game.
They need to improve for the councils because i crash loading in 75 percent of the worlds so i cant even play
was very disappointed when I bought ASA on my xbox, wanting to play it on my PC when I got it finished. I ended up downloading it through Xbox app on my PC when it was finished, but then found out that Nvidia DLSS was disabled entirely. I struggled to make 60 frames with what is honestly a pretty dang beefy PC (14th gen I7 and 4070 Super 32 GB 6200 Ram) and stopped playing until the last optimization update, and now I can make roughly 70 frames with really bad 1% frames. DLSS is still disabled i the Xbox version, and I really don't know if it's worth Repurchasing the game on Steam just to have playable frames.
Asa is better than ase, but but it’s the kind of better that a new glitchy printer is compared to the old one. Better options, more papers, but constant glitches that make it a headache
I love the game when it works. I’m on Xbox and most of the time I can’t load a map without it crashing.
I rebought ASA 3 times before I actually stuck with it, once on release day which was on my older PC and the performance was awful (2060, i5), then again 3 months or so later to see if they made it any better and to my shock of course they didn't and then I bought a new PC this year (i7, 4060) and I was going to wait till I bought a new GPU since I was waiting for the 5000 series launch I actually just pulled the trigger and it ran pretty good in August. When Abberation released they removed the one thing that made my game run smooth which was FG and it ran horribly, since then I didn't touch it till about a week ago when I bought a server to play with some friends and well it runs fine I suppose (50-70fps) just depends on the situation and I've noticed modded maps tend to run better than the vanilla ones so we're playing on Astraeos and other than the occassional crash or two it is more than playable so I'm just bearing with it. Hopefully the new 5.4 update makes it better since it could be a hell of a lot nicer
How much ram and are you using the 4060 to 16gn 4060 ti 8 gb or just the 4060 and are you using the i7-14700f cpu? Also are your setting epic high medium or low
@@superdinoholt2956 4060 8GB, i7-13700KF - I can actually use FG on the newest Ark version which has made it significantly more stable and smooth but raw performance is still horrible and will be for a while I'd imagine.
I got sick of asa because it just felt like I was redoing what I was doing in ase and so I started playing space engineers
Ass has serious problems but so did ase I think it's better in certain areas but worse in the stability sections
My Center Single player is messed up I fell through the map and I am stuck iin a bu ch of rocks,and cant get out,fix this please
Wildcard unfortunately seems to have taken the path of microtransactions and poor performance. It feels less like a truly upgraded version of ASE and more like a cashgrab with no heart put into it. It has potential if they would just chuck the pay-to-win and content pumping out the window and focus on delivering a better quality product.
I play asa pve on my series s but yeah performance is horrible having to turn shadows clouds fog just to get decent frames my game crashes almost all the time on center at the volcano island as well as when I load in other players bases
It also seems way harder to find Dino’s I need idk may just be my server with less Dino’s since ping averages 200 for some reason
Small spawn Wyverns - not good. 1 - 2 wyvs from official server!?
Dont get me wrong, Ark is a great game, its just the dev's that dont fix game crashes on aberration . Its so bad that you have an avarage crash of about once every 10 to 12 minutes. Its that bad on that map. The other maps you might get a crash once every hour.
Game crashed alot.. lost my favourite mount.. stopped playing for a bit... lost everything.... haven't been on since
I got a question if the community can answer me they know that PlayStation keeps crashing why do they not fix that I loved the game really love It but my friends left the game because of the crashing Please answer that Why the game keeps crashing I'm playing other games for like hours and do not crash I play arc survival for like 5 minutes or 6 crash So please somebody explained that
Well they also said fuck the windows pvp players so anybody who purchased the game on Windows And wants to play PVP and didn't refund it justin, a game that's useless to them unless they want to play unofficial
The game itself as a base concept is fun.And looks great. But day to day things like dinosaurs locking on each other because you came close to each other is bullshit. Inventory menu's constantly shuffling for no fucking reason. Constant Lag and crashes. Chat breaks every time you Try to type. Did you know I figured out how to fix that you're plugging a f****** mouse?You're wiggle it, then you hit enter.Then you move your controller and you hit enter again.And this changes from one interface to the other fixing their shit temporarily. The fact that I have to come up with ways to fix their game for them is so stupid but it looks nice.
10 days to be get told about the delay.
My opinion is that as a game strictly speaking asa is better than ase especially when all the maps are out but I feel wildcard is getting worse at monetization especially bobs tall tales is fine in my opinion but the pyromane and to a lesser extent the dread mare really annoy me the way they were sold
Wish they released no tame servers I had the most fun on them..
I think asa is better than ase
me to
I agree
same
They just need to fix bugs other than that it’s perfect
@@shadowryth7308 yea, but i literally drop my old game and became full time ark, back then tho the game was unplayable now it is playable just bug there, and there thats all
Plot twist Asa is a coverup so they can secretly work on ark 2
OR secretly not work on ARK 2. Lets face it, they put all their effort into Ark2 and ASA is what they released to get money. ASA basically IS Ark2, at least in our lifetime.
@@majorpain8569that’s what the devs of Asa said only reason we got it was so they could earn money for ark 2
I would like to stop crashing every 15 mins
Regardless of all the crap I love Ark I love playing on my Ps5 I’ve only had 3 crashes , in the year it’s been out I love the mods and I’ve played this game 12 hours straight with no problems . Yes it needs fixing BUT THE moaners will continue to moan that’s THE ARK world. All I say is my Dino’s rock my ps5 world …and that’s coming from a Ark player of 6 years and counting
It's hard to give it a proper chance when it keeps crashing every 10 to 15 minutes. Don't get me wrong, I personally love ARK; I just would love to have a more stable game. And it starts to get to where it feels like I paid for a product and all the added cost of the mods and DLC and can't even play. It feels like you got taken advantage of.
I feel like asa should have released on the Xbox one S and Xbox one X because it works better on those then the series X|S
nah, the pyromane is great.
do you know how to level up your dino up fast. what works without walking around kill wild dino.
Honestly I fucken love Ark ascended seing this game look this good and sure it has some issues buts that's fucking ARK so boohoo plus the new content inst expensive and it's cool as fuck I'm phyced for extinction and can't wait to see all the evolved dlc on ascended. HOWEVER Ark Survival Evolded modded especially primal fear on crystal isles is still fire 🔥
What's the difference in single player than official pve? I guess having tribe mates. Just a hard time seeing where the competition is at I guess. The motivation. Trying to survive. You can just slap down a lil stone base on pve and the game is over 😂
Anyone knows how to save settings on ps5 single player??
It keeps reseting everytime i close the game
There is a button "save settings" in the bottom of each screen. Best is to hit save before changing to the next category screen. For example you set the "Game Rules - Player" then save before moving on to the next category. Only then you move to "Game Rules - Creature" etc. Also be aware that every time you put the cursor in one of the box setting, you can lose/change the parameter that was already there. It can be a little tricky if u don't pay attention. Hope this helps
Sadly the things they said they would fix haven't been. Still buggy, glitchy and crashes.
When it does, I just go play something else.
So glad I got it cheap. The pay to win/play is BS.
Me Play on 4K Epic Settings (with DLSS) fine never below 80 FPS
Im playing on ps5 single player but the game just isnt saving. Im losing all of my progress, its making the game unplayable, i love ark so much, but its not enjoyable to play rn. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to stop the game not saving.
Even destroyallwilddinos before saving using commands still wont help.
Will the cluster be PVE? Because if so i may join
Xbox series x every single player map crashes at loadingscreen since release of aberration.
Online works so far some how...
I like some of the changes but feel ase performed better and the spawning in ratholes was great for solo to 4man tribes ...now megas just go and wipe servers and because these servers are low pop from beeing wiped constantly devs delete these servers pushing more new people away
It’s this simple. Stop releasing maps and fix the actual game. DLC this and that. Don’t care, fix it first. Basics.
on Xbox it runs like shxt, 30-40fps. Ratholes are necessary for solos/duos to survive and the fact that some structures cant clip like forges or tek reps even on unofficial settings. The crap fps with the new 3rd person camera makes the game feel clunky, graphica are nice but the gameplay is terrible. Also mandatory crossplay was a mistake, most console players dont want to play with pc players, sorry but there are way too many cheaters on pc and this makes for a terrible experience
I honestly can't play it the lag is terrible and it'd definitely not my end. I paid for the game too played it for an hour
I think asa is a lot better
Wildcard thinks we are just a bunch of whiny babies. Sad truth is this isn’t the fact or the situation. Most of us play many other games and we deal with many other development studios. Those studios are professional, on time, considerate, and mostly polite to their audience. Wildcard is by FAR the worst studio I deal with. It’s just a fact. Sorry.
Did u just say ab launch was fun? So everyone getting completely ripped by piros was fun to you?
I haven't touched Ascended. Mostly, cause my PC can barely run evolved in the first place, but, ascended was such an unecessary "upgrade".
OOOH PWETTY GRAPHICS! "BETTER STABILITY" ON U5 OVER U4!
Nah. I'll pass. I'll take, decent graphics that don't blow up my PC, maps, dinos, and mechanics that have basically worked since launch, and IMO, a better made game.
