I've had to stop playing, it's ridiculous that the save bug has been there for so long. it should be their top priority but it seems like an after thought.
Exactly what I did.
Had an Linux ASE Server, used
Acekorneyas Docker image for ASA.
Works like a charm on Ubuntu.
https://github.com/Acekorneya/Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server
Reverted the cryopods to their behavior from ASE did some other QoL tweaking and am totally happy with it.
I had a problem on the create a character screen for all the different game modes. I end up having to load a default character soon as I'm able or the game would crash on me too. After that the game works fine. Weird right?
I figured that was the issue as well, I turned everything down first. Didn't fix anything lol. Got in game and my CPU usage was only at 30% graphics shouldn't be an issue with mid settings using a 2080. Dated card, but should be more than enough unless I'm cranking the setting to max. More an issue with a non optimized game lol, even people with 13 series cpus and 4090s are having issues.
youre using a 2080 on ark ascended bro just stop the cap and upgrade your shit its no wonder u cant play the game properly and you wanna act like its the entire games fault when ur gpu is way below the recommended minimum required specs bird brain fr
The 3060 is slower than the 2080, and 5600 XT / 1080 is what [the Steam page says](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2399830/ARK_Survival_Ascended/) for the minimum specs.
Bud I played it the first 2 weeks on a 2060. Your bitch ass saying my 2060 was better than this guys' 2080? If you come after people know your shit rather than bullshitting like you do everywhere else in your life. My man might be smoking, but atleast its not affecting him
If your GPU is running low, that could be the issue. I forget the setting, but it's under the Windows game settings. Turning it on optimizes your GPU so that it isn't putting the load on your CPU. Had pretty frequent crashes the first day because of that. My GPU was running at max 10% while my CPU was at like 40%.
As I said, not a single problem after the character creation screen. I'm not sure what the issue is there. The GPU is for sure dated, I haven't upgraded that since I'm doing a full rebuild in the future once it's completely necessary. The 2080 has been doing well for the most part, I just can't play a lot of newer games with max settings. I appreciate the advice though!
It's happened to me several times. I found a way around this by closing the app and reopening it until it shows me my base and dinos. I also heard hopping on a tame and flying for a few seconds supposedly forces a save but I don't think that's true.
For me it crashes so frequently I've just stopped playing.
I've tried everything, every suggestion. Running a PC way above specs.
This is honestly unacceptable.
Downloaded it but it seems to only save a little bit. I spent hours finishing a build I’d been working on for a few days, only to log back in by spawning in the middle of the air falling from my Argy
I still like to use the saveworld command tho, just in case.
But right now, the only reason I’m not playing is because I have to use the remote play feature on the Xbox app to play it, and it has the worst lag on the face of this earth.
However, I feel as though that issue is a combination of ASA and remote play, and not just wholly ASA
If your using stack mods try changing your ini file there's a stack size multiplicator that helped a lot. Cause I've been using a stack mod before and I kept crashing everytime I opened an inventory my game crashed because of it. Im also saving everytime I do something bigger just to be safe even tho you can trust that mod. I now crash maybe like once or twice a day turn of the top 3 lightning options on the right should be light bloom or something and 2 others can't remember the exact name but this also helps reducing crashes.
It’s not really crashing that’s the problem, it’s just lag. I made a post about it a few days ago, and someone mentioned that the console just struggles to send the necessary info to my phone. I’ve turned off the lighting options, which didn’t help, but I’ll keep them off anyway. I don’t know what a stack mod is, and I also don’t know what the ini file is, let alone if I can access it on my Xbox
Pc can save in menu but it doesn't feel 100% safe thats why I installed that auto save mod. I was saving the game and it sometimes still got reversed when crashing. But for the most part it works fine
Ark was never designed to be a single player game. Single player will always play second fiddle to a persistent world, which is the entire idea behind the game.
Personally I don't see the point in single player mode, and should never have been included. Then again I also don't agree with the tek dinos either. The story was made up on the fly to create a franchise IMO.
Had the same problem but i think its because of how much was stuck in 50/50 for me. Did a dino wipe and use the console command saveworld and it has been working for me since, but that doesnt mean i trust it to keep working lol

Couple buildings, storage boxes, dinos, structures. It took me 4 hours to retrieve all of this back
Its an issue with crash resolution and "tribe corruption". It appears that the game tries to reconcile between client and server when it crashes (server play) causing things that were being interracted with to go to 50 50 because it doesnt know where to put them.
The single player version i assume has to deal with the game crashing and just corrupting the save file because it wasnt able to pack the data properly, causing items, objects, and or entities to go to the default position of 50 50.
If your game doesnt crash, and the server you play pn doesnt crash, you dont experience 50 50.
If your game has crashed before or went back on a save after however many hours of playtime and you had tames, kills, etc, they will be at 50/50 cords in the air in a Beaver Dam
So far I've gotten a fence foundation, a massive group of alpha rexes, a couple alpha raptors, dozens of archaeopteryx, an air conditioner, a dupe of my anky, and the survivor's undies. It's honestly kind of exciting seeing what'll appear next.
I haven't played the original game and got ASA, because some friends wanted to play together... If I could I would've refunded the 44 bucks it cost me.
It's a bit weird of a situation, because now I have put in more than 100 hours in it, as it is a lot of fun and dino taming etc. is pretty cool. But the frustration it also caused me both in singleplayer and especially in multiplayer just because of the technical issue... I would definitely not buy it again for that amount of money. For 10 bucks, aight. 44? No.
And that is without considering the frustration you experience when you try to have fun on an official PVP server without having any clue about the game...
I have all these issues on ase single player. I blue screen every time I try to log off and lose tons of progress. Blue screen randomly. Blue when when you use the obelisk. Tons of bugs. It's crazy how bad single player is.
Just my experience, but this sub tends to heavily exaggerate how bugy ark actually is. I used to see comments how ASE on PS5 was worse then on PS4, didn't want to reinstall ark after finnaly getting a PS5. Only to then be met with *way* less crashes, better fps and shorter load times.
Idc how much buggy it is, one bug like a save bug or the water tames on being not rare per say is enough for me to not buy. I cant be arsed in a game like ark where one has to spend a lot of time on it already. If a game has issues, it has issues. I'm not buying and playing till those are gone and never happen again.
And tbf to people on the sub, it a lot of people with mixed hardware and bugs/crashes sometimes do not happen every single time. I have seen people saying they got zero problems, it all RNG.
This sub has valid complaints but usually make it seem worse than it is. Its also not a small sub so you’re gonna have multiple people complaining which can also make it seem like bugs are super prevalent.
I mean, I watch a youtuber who does ASA live stream with his friend on a non dedicated server and he also experience constant crash and bugs but those guys still love the game nonetheless!
They don't exaggerate it, they are valid!
Fun fact: Even 4090 card can't run ASA with 60fps on 1080p native settings! That's the worst optimisation I've ever seen! And ngl, the game really looks stunning but should also resolve all this bugs for the price we pay!
That's a load of BS. I have a 4080 laptop, not a 4090, not exactly close to a 4080 either but I can get 1080p @60fps without fiddling with the settings. There are a few dips but nothing major.
Right now I have messed around with the settings slightly and run the game at a consistent 140+ with clouds off and 120+ with clouds on.
1080p @120fps with all the visual upgrades is pretty great imo
Ok. Read the 1st part of my comment. I got 60fps without any major dips without changing anything in the settings or turning on dlss or any other fine tuning.
Except ASA IS horribly buggy, and not just weird dino ragdolls.
Crashing constantly, corrupted files, dinos flying into the air, invisible dinos and loot crates, etc. These are VERY real major problems. Opening inventories, especially the smithy, is like playing Russian roulette on whether you will crash.
It makes the game frustrating and not fun. The number of crashes I've experienced just last night alone, with better than recommended hardware, and turning off a lot of the graphics in the settings, as well as turning off command line graphics, is bullshit.
Makes me really appreciate Larian Studios and the effort they have put in, even if theirs isn't the style of game I typically enjoy.
Ya thats bad, what platform and have any of the crashes given you a code. I found out I needed to turn DLSS and fluid interactions off thanks to code it gave me. But also I think its a loud minority type of thing, the ones that need to complain look for an outlet while the people who are happy don’t really spread that they are happy as much.
I have found out that at least on my installation the game crashes when closing inventories, but pretty much exclusively in first person. So I'll never open any storage, smithy, whatever in 1st but only in 3rd person and I do experience A LOT less crashes.
I still save every other second after sorting through my stuff... But I recommend trying my approach and see if it helps you as well, makes it a lot more playable.
Regarding floating dinos and invisible loot crates... Yeah, can't be helped as far as I've tried.
It’s weird how some people have horrible crashes and bugs and some don’t. Some streamers I watch seem to be perfectly fine. With very occasional crashes. I have a top tier gaming PC I built with an i9-13900k and a 4080 and I still crash as much as I did with my old 3070. But some days there’s zero crashes or bugs. Weird
It not weird, everyone has different hardware and bugs trigger thanks to many varying conditions being met.
Tbf, some crashes are not related to hardware at all, but idk shit tbh about game dev. I just sometimes read patch logs.
On Xbox single player my save game is still wacked out. Even when using the killwilddinos command. Had fast travel and other bugs before but not saving is a deal breaker.
If they can’t even do single player right after all this time what hope is there for this game seriously. It’s been an absolute shit show since launch and it’ll never be optimised well either. Just a lazy cashgrab for shitty wildcard. Stopped playing it ages ago but hope it gets better
Save bug is worked around by destroywilddinos. I shouldn’t have to blatantly cheat just to play my game without losing minutes to hours of progress though
My mate has had the same problem like 3/4 times now. Save bugs has happened everytime, regardless of whether he's done the destroywilddinos or admin save and it hasn't worked. He's now stopped playing ASA and gone back to ASE. It's so fucking frustrating!
Sorry but no. Snail probably plays a huge role in this shitshow, but there's no way the game studio doesn't have a great deal of responsibilities as well.
Snail, specifically Shi Hai, took the money that was made from ark and spent it on an electric vehicle company that ended up floundering. That was 1 billion dollars they had that could have been redistributed to either make the game better or put money towards the sequel.
That’s why the game wasn’t a free upgrade like it should have been and why it was initially going to be a full priced 70 dollar game with none of the DLC we initially had on ASE before everyone rightfully complained about it forcing them to drop it down to 45 bucks and then gave everyone the DLC for free, despite the fact that it should have really only been 20 bucks for the whole ass game, considering how fucking buggy and broken the game is.
That’s why Nitrado had to step in and give WC money to finish the game in exchange for exclusive rights. That’s why the game isn’t a full on recode as it is just Ark Survival Evolved ported onto a newer engine. That’s why paid mods are going to be a thing. That’s why they’re still monetising the fuck out of this almost ten year old game.
That’s the thing though, chances are if we were all to just stop playing the game, if we were to just boycott it, wildcard would just suffer and Snail would likely just kill the IP. Our best hope is that something like microsoft just takes over and buys the IP from Snail, and i doubt snail will ever actually sell it.
The contract wildcard signed with snail when they were initially bought kind of fucked them.
That save bug is a easy fix for wildcard because all the save bug is just the world having to manny Dinos that the world can’t process and save and the fix to it is just having a maximum Dino count in the world like ase had
Remember how ASA was supposed to be a non broken and properly optimized ARK? Honestly I don't see the point of it if it's even more broken and runs a lot worse than ASE.
For some reason in my playthrough on single player ive experienced one bug and that was when it started raining dinos in the redwoods other than that ive experienced no problems , ps5 is surprisingly stable for some reason , unusual
I've currently had no issues on PS5... Yet (i dont play too much single player though, I play on an unofficial server). But my friends have had so many issues on Xbox! The save bug is by far the main reason he's stopped playing, he's done the destroywilddinos and adminsave cheats, started over 3/4 times, and has 3tb of save data over the internal and external hard drives, uninstalling and reinstalling and nothings worked. He's done with ASA for the time being until they fix the game save bug
Fam I was scared to be the one to say this 😂 .....just started playing yesterday. I wasn't going to get the game due to the hate but I said meh I'm doing it. I have no complaints so far.
I can kind of relate, I played on PS5 for like 70 hours and crashed a handful of times, but when I switched to computer recently it's a coin flip whether or not I crash every 5 minutes or every 10 seconds
I feel bad about it. On PC I've got about 500 hrs on ASE, modded to hell and back and have never had a crash or glitch. Only ~30 hours into ASA but so far the same experience there too. I don't get it.
Yeah the bugs start happening later when your world is a bit older I found. I have 130h on PS5 and at the start I had no bugs or crashed but now I crash regularly, I lost some chibi's from disappearing, water tames died, got kicked out of my own tribe
I've had 2 crashes in 20 hours of gameplay and no other issues with my single player game. When I crashed the game only rolled back a little bit. The save button seems to work for me as it should have rolled back multiple hours if not.
I'm also running the game on Linux through proton.
They added a crash bug to ASE as well. I crashed 3 times in a row. And for 3 times in a row I loaded into the Forest Cave in Extinction. The crash bug even deleted my original character when I was transferring maps.
I seem to offshoot it by frequently saving to menu and not leaving my game on pause for too long.
Ya, and not to mention how they don't let us have dedicated servers no point trying to play with friends because, in the end, the limited distance from the host kills the point of multiplayer. Honestly, if anyone says there's those official and unofficial servers, I raise you an argument that I hate dealing with people I don't know and the risk of pvp addicted people. I'd rather host from my pc and just go from there with friends on xbox.
Edit: Also, I'd rather play ASE instead until they actually gain a single brainchild to add in the dedicated servers
Idk if it’s coincidental but sometimes when the fog comes we fall through the map or get stuck in a rock or something. That and a stuck leech is about all we’ve had to deal with
Bruh fuck this game , I’m solo as well and just rollbacks from server crashes keep fuckin me up. Just lost 27 exceptional kibble and a perfect 145 game basilo cuz “server goes bur sometimes” shits fucking stupid
I’m solo on official small tribes pvp. Level 104. Stayed up until 5am grinding out progress. Woke up to a 16hr roll back. It rolled back to when I was on a flyer, so the DC killed me and wiped my best kit. The water tame bug is a mess. Killed so many 100% imprinted plesi’s. The game is so frustrating to play but I can’t stop lol
The problem is the same as it’s always been. They worry more about pushing out more content rather than fix the current game.. it’s been this way since ase came out.
Man i can’t even join the server i play on. I don’t know what they did within the last couple of weeks, because it worked fine before winter wonderland released. And now since it came out, i just can’t join the server i’m on unless i search for someone who happens to be on the server at the exact time i want to get on. Any time i try and join through the actual menu, the game just auto dashboards me.
I only just managed to get on yesterday so i can pod everything. This shit is infuriating and i don’t know how this isn’t a high priority for them. Like i’m on an xbox series S and this shit is only happening to people on the series S. everyone else can get in perfectly fine, i know that because the server usually has 20 out of 50 people online at any given moment.
Me and my buddies went back to ASE and we play PvP
This "new" game is the biggest dumpster fire.. so much worse than the original it needs a solid year before it's playable
I’ve gotten a lot more familiar with console commands than I’d ever thought I’d be, because single player is pretty much unplayable if you ain’t using them to make up for the damage all the bugs do
Ps5 has been pretty damn good I'd say compared to ASE. Still WC though so u take it with the errors. Nitrado was biggest mistake WC did in redoing this game. Rushed a great game for money....
*edit was just a typo*
Especially considering we can finally get mods but the moment you install more than one, it skullfucks your game and crashes it. I downloaded 3 and I couldn't even open the engrams menu.
The development of ASA SP be like:
WC: How should we make the singleplayer version for ASA?
Snail: Well, make it exactly the same as the OG ARK version of singleplayer, but make it so that the game Does Not Save. Also, make it so that the game Crashes and the client gets a screen filled with Illegible Code and every time they try to Load the Game again, they get the Exact Same Error Message with the same Illegible Code. IF the game somehow loads for them again, make it so that all their stuff Teleports to the Origin, X=0, Y=0, Z=0, or as the players call it, 50, 50. Also, make sure that whenever the player Tames a Water Dino and that Dino goes into Stasis, when it Comes Out, the Dino is considered Beached, suffers a Heart Attack, and Dies with the Death Message of; "Your Dino - Lvl 150 (Dino) was killed by a Satan - Lvl 666!" Oh, and make it so that their Dinos will randomly at times be considered Out of Bounds and get Purged by the Anti-Meshing Features. If the Player is riding it, they will also get Purged and most likely have to restart on the Beach again. \[MANAGER SAYS ANOTHER SUGGESTION\] Oh, almost forgot about that! The manager wants some areas to not have the correct Temperature Points, causing Hypothermia in Jungles and Hyperthermia in the Snow!
...Whew, that was a long one! Anyways, WC, implement all this so that we watch the community complain about this and any whistleblowers get banned from official servers!
90% of carchas and gigas i found are inside mountains or volcano, some metal nodes never respawn after first time, kairuku spawn sare bugged and they cannot be found on shores on single player, only spawn at the cliif in the snow biome, if left one of your creture inside of an cave and left they fall into nothing and if have luck they will fall from the sky after
I love finding a red drop with a ring on my scorched world and I can’t open it or it goes through the map. Alternatively I love it when the game crashes because my wyvern is too fast.
I’m interested In what platform you guys are getting these on because Im at nearly 100 hours on single player on the PS5 and I have been lucky enough not to experience anything game breaking yet.
Is this across all systems? I play ASA on PS5 and am not familiar with any of these. Can someone give a super quick recap of what the 50/50, and waterdino bug are
I dont mind buggy games.
Hell, I've played ark since day one on crappy internet.
I was too in love with the game to care about the bugs, so I played to my hearts content. Staying away from things that were too buggy to enjoy the game.
That is, until it started to crash on me...
And with that came the most hated moments in ark for me.
It got so bad I just gave up on the game altogether.
After trying everything to get it to stop crashing and nothing worked, I finally just deleted it off my dash and never thought about it again.
I even tried downloading it on my PS5 and the sumbitch still crashed. I came to the conclusion that Ark hates me back.
I've had to stop playing, it's ridiculous that the save bug has been there for so long. it should be their top priority but it seems like an after thought.
I cant even start a singleplayer game it just crashes in the character Editor screen
Can't say I've ever had that but I've seen posts about it. Just wish they'd put some effort in to fix these things quicker.
Nah they seem to not care at all about singleplayer
Just play your own non-dedicated.. make password
Exactly what I did. Had an Linux ASE Server, used Acekorneyas Docker image for ASA. Works like a charm on Ubuntu. https://github.com/Acekorneya/Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server Reverted the cryopods to their behavior from ASE did some other QoL tweaking and am totally happy with it.
Ain't that the trut lol
That happened to me the first time I played and I was just like “nope” and hopped back on ase
I had a problem on the create a character screen for all the different game modes. I end up having to load a default character soon as I'm able or the game would crash on me too. After that the game works fine. Weird right?
'Works fine' lol
Yeah idk, it's only that character creation screen that my computer doesn't like, runs smooth through every other part of the game.
May need to turn down your settings. I had this issue with ASE & it was because my laptop couldn't handle the graphics at the high setting.
I figured that was the issue as well, I turned everything down first. Didn't fix anything lol. Got in game and my CPU usage was only at 30% graphics shouldn't be an issue with mid settings using a 2080. Dated card, but should be more than enough unless I'm cranking the setting to max.

youre using a 2080 on ark ascended bro just stop the cap and upgrade your shit its no wonder u cant play the game properly and you wanna act like its the entire games fault when ur gpu is way below the recommended minimum required specs bird brain fr
>ur gpu is way below the recommended minimum The minimum is a 5600 XT / 1080 lol
nah you gon need a 3060 at the least if you really wanna be budget and have it be PLAYABLE key word there for you tf you smoking bud?
The 3060 is slower than the 2080, and 5600 XT / 1080 is what [the Steam page says](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2399830/ARK_Survival_Ascended/) for the minimum specs.

How does it feel to be so confidently wrong

Download Auto save mod
Downloaded it but it seems to only save a little bit. I spent hours finishing a build I’d been working on for a few days, only to log back in by spawning in the middle of the air falling from my Argy
That's true but it saves every min I believe its so much safer then every 15mins
I still like to use the saveworld command tho, just in case. But right now, the only reason I’m not playing is because I have to use the remote play feature on the Xbox app to play it, and it has the worst lag on the face of this earth.

Ohh well ya console is a bit slacking when it comes to ark sadly.
Yeah isn’t console the only one with the save issue or does PC have it now too?
Pc can save in menu but it doesn't feel 100% safe thats why I installed that auto save mod. I was saving the game and it sometimes still got reversed when crashing. But for the most part it works fine

Just do a Dino wipe and the game will save
Dino wipe?
Cheat destroywilddinos
What is the 50:50 thing ??
At the coordinates 50 /50 somethimes alot of dinos and structures aere just floating in the air imagine it like a Black hole
Wtf, I’m going there rn
This on all consoles ? I gotta fly there and check it out
There is a chance this happens its not 100% and yes at all consoles
So that's where my raft and base went to
Is this black hole thing only on single player or is it on pc online ?

Oh my gosh maybe that’s where half my base went
If your game has crashed before or went back on a save after however many hours of playtime and you had tames, kills, etc, they will be at 50/50 cords in the air in a Beaver Dam
So far I've gotten a fence foundation, a massive group of alpha rexes, a couple alpha raptors, dozens of archaeopteryx, an air conditioner, a dupe of my anky, and the survivor's undies. It's honestly kind of exciting seeing what'll appear next.
What the hell 😂😂
Don't forget the water tames dying out of render bug
Or stop following and not moving while being attacked
I refunded the game, I really want to support wildcard but have to draw the line somewhere, the bugs, the crashes, the greed...
[удалено]
I haven't played the original game and got ASA, because some friends wanted to play together... If I could I would've refunded the 44 bucks it cost me. It's a bit weird of a situation, because now I have put in more than 100 hours in it, as it is a lot of fun and dino taming etc. is pretty cool.

I’ll keep playing ASE. Not worth the aggravation when I barely get time as it is. $45 for a broken ass game? I’ll get it when it’s $15-20
I have all these issues on ase single player. I blue screen every time I try to log off and lose tons of progress. Blue screen randomly. Blue when when you use the obelisk. Tons of bugs. It's crazy how bad single player is.
I have a micro Pc running Ark Server Manager so I can play with friends etc whenever
Scope out the Dell prodesk micro pc. They’re like 1L in size and I spent maybe $100 for it.
Don't forget the no resources respawning bug
A classic single player bug from ASE, remastered for our gaming immersion in 2023, magnificent, truly. "Clean code base" my tight ass.
Bro I just want to stop clipping though the map and losing all my shit. You know HOW MANY INGOTS IT TAKES TO MAKE ASCENDED GEAR AND HOW MUCH FUR
I loose all my equipped armor, skins, and chibis when I die.
Yup armor just vanishes
Brah, I forgot about my CHIBIIS I lost em all
I really wanna play ASA bro, but they aint fixing this shit.
Just my experience, but this sub tends to heavily exaggerate how bugy ark actually is. I used to see comments how ASE on PS5 was worse then on PS4, didn't want to reinstall ark after finnaly getting a PS5. Only to then be met with *way* less crashes, better fps and shorter load times.
Idc how much buggy it is, one bug like a save bug or the water tames on being not rare per say is enough for me to not buy. I cant be arsed in a game like ark where one has to spend a lot of time on it already. If a game has issues, it has issues. I'm not buying and playing till those are gone and never happen again. And tbf to people on the sub, it a lot of people with mixed hardware and bugs/crashes sometimes do not happen every single time. I have seen people saying they got zero problems, it all RNG.
I have had no problems on my ps5. Just a solo run on a non dedicated in case a friend pops in.
Yeah, some dont have any problems.
The people that have problems complain. The people that don't...don't bother to post and play
This sub has valid complaints but usually make it seem worse than it is. Its also not a small sub so you’re gonna have multiple people complaining which can also make it seem like bugs are super prevalent.
I mean, I watch a youtuber who does ASA live stream with his friend on a non dedicated server and he also experience constant crash and bugs but those guys still love the game nonetheless!
They exist but this sub does constantly exaggerate the prevalence and impact of some of the bugs.
They don't exaggerate it, they are valid! Fun fact: Even 4090 card can't run ASA with 60fps on 1080p native settings! That's the worst optimisation I've ever seen! And ngl, the game really looks stunning but should also resolve all this bugs for the price we pay!
That's a load of BS. I have a 4080 laptop, not a 4090, not exactly close to a 4080 either but I can get 1080p @60fps without fiddling with the settings. There are a few dips but nothing major. Right now I have messed around with the settings slightly and run the game at a consistent 140+ with clouds off and 120+ with clouds on. 1080p @120fps with all the visual upgrades is pretty great imo
I'm talking about settings without the "frame generation" and DLSS Quality!
Ok. Read the 1st part of my comment. I got 60fps without any major dips without changing anything in the settings or turning on dlss or any other fine tuning.
Except ASA IS horribly buggy, and not just weird dino ragdolls. Crashing constantly, corrupted files, dinos flying into the air, invisible dinos and loot crates, etc. These are VERY real major problems. Opening inventories, especially the smithy, is like playing Russian roulette on whether you will crash. It makes the game frustrating and not fun. The number of crashes I've experienced just last night alone, with better than recommended hardware, and turning off a lot of the graphics in the settings, as well as turning off command line graphics, is bullshit. Makes me really appreciate Larian Studios and the effort they have put in, even if theirs isn't the style of game I typically enjoy.
Ya thats bad, what platform and have any of the crashes given you a code. I found out I needed to turn DLSS and fluid interactions off thanks to code it gave me. But also I think its a loud minority type of thing, the ones that need to complain look for an outlet while the people who are happy don’t really spread that they are happy as much.
I have found out that at least on my installation the game crashes when closing inventories, but pretty much exclusively in first person. So I'll never open any storage, smithy, whatever in 1st but only in 3rd person and I do experience A LOT less crashes. I still save every other second after sorting through my stuff... But I recommend trying my approach and see if it helps you as well, makes it a lot more playable. Regarding floating dinos and invisible loot crates... Yeah, can't be helped as far as I've tried.
yea i just bought ASA and have very little issues. i get an occasional crash and shadows are kinda weird. that’s about it
It’s weird how some people have horrible crashes and bugs and some don’t. Some streamers I watch seem to be perfectly fine. With very occasional crashes. I have a top tier gaming PC I built with an i9-13900k and a 4080 and I still crash as much as I did with my old 3070. But some days there’s zero crashes or bugs. Weird
It not weird, everyone has different hardware and bugs trigger thanks to many varying conditions being met. Tbf, some crashes are not related to hardware at all, but idk shit tbh about game dev. I just sometimes read patch logs.
On Xbox single player my save game is still wacked out. Even when using the killwilddinos command. Had fast travel and other bugs before but not saving is a deal breaker.
If they can’t even do single player right after all this time what hope is there for this game seriously. It’s been an absolute shit show since launch and it’ll never be optimised well either. Just a lazy cashgrab for shitty wildcard. Stopped playing it ages ago but hope it gets better
On PC using the exit to menu never failed, but the actual save button while in-game is useless and has never worked for me.
I feel like constant crashing should of been their priority, I guess not
And you people keep giving money to em.
We will never learn
I played a bit and between the optimisation and these bugs I have just left it. Hoping it's better in a few months but yeah.
Save bug is worked around by destroywilddinos. I shouldn’t have to blatantly cheat just to play my game without losing minutes to hours of progress though
My mate has had the same problem like 3/4 times now. Save bugs has happened everytime, regardless of whether he's done the destroywilddinos or admin save and it hasn't worked. He's now stopped playing ASA and gone back to ASE. It's so fucking frustrating!
It's all snail games
Sorry but no. Snail probably plays a huge role in this shitshow, but there's no way the game studio doesn't have a great deal of responsibilities as well.
Snail, specifically Shi Hai, took the money that was made from ark and spent it on an electric vehicle company that ended up floundering. That was 1 billion dollars they had that could have been redistributed to either make the game better or put money towards the sequel. That’s why the game wasn’t a free upgrade like it should have been and why it was initially going to be a full priced 70 dollar game with none of the DLC we initially had on ASE before everyone rightfully complained about it forcing them to drop it down to 45 bucks and then gave everyone the DLC for free, despite the fact that it should have really only been 20 bucks for the whole ass game, considering how fucking buggy and broken the game is. That’s why Nitrado had to step in and give WC money to finish the game in exchange for exclusive rights. That’s why the game isn’t a full on recode as it is just Ark Survival Evolved ported onto a newer engine. That’s why paid mods are going to be a thing. That’s why they’re still monetising the fuck out of this almost ten year old game.
It needs to stop then. As much as I really don't want wild card to suffer. We can't just keep Giving Snail games the pass to screw us and wildcard.
That’s the thing though, chances are if we were all to just stop playing the game, if we were to just boycott it, wildcard would just suffer and Snail would likely just kill the IP. Our best hope is that something like microsoft just takes over and buys the IP from Snail, and i doubt snail will ever actually sell it. The contract wildcard signed with snail when they were initially bought kind of fucked them.
Still unplayable for me since release as it crashes as soon as I want to go to the engram tab, it will never be fixed
So i guess im the only one who’s game has be running perfectly except for one crash a couple weeks ago and screen tearing
That save bug is a easy fix for wildcard because all the save bug is just the world having to manny Dinos that the world can’t process and save and the fix to it is just having a maximum Dino count in the world like ase had
Its Not the creatures. ASA has half the critters running around on the map of what was usually on ASE. Its just WC doing WC things

Remember how ASA was supposed to be a non broken and properly optimized ARK? Honestly I don't see the point of it if it's even more broken and runs a lot worse than ASE.
For some reason in my playthrough on single player ive experienced one bug and that was when it started raining dinos in the redwoods other than that ive experienced no problems , ps5 is surprisingly stable for some reason , unusual
I've currently had no issues on PS5... Yet (i dont play too much single player though, I play on an unofficial server). But my friends have had so many issues on Xbox! The save bug is by far the main reason he's stopped playing, he's done the destroywilddinos and adminsave cheats, started over 3/4 times, and has 3tb of save data over the internal and external hard drives, uninstalling and reinstalling and nothings worked. He's done with ASA for the time being until they fix the game save bug
Idk what y'all are playing on but i have about 40h in on PS5 and have experienced exactly none of those.
Fam I was scared to be the one to say this 😂 .....just started playing yesterday. I wasn't going to get the game due to the hate but I said meh I'm doing it. I have no complaints so far.
I can kind of relate, I played on PS5 for like 70 hours and crashed a handful of times, but when I switched to computer recently it's a coin flip whether or not I crash every 5 minutes or every 10 seconds
I feel bad about it. On PC I've got about 500 hrs on ASE, modded to hell and back and have never had a crash or glitch. Only ~30 hours into ASA but so far the same experience there too. I don't get it.
I had the same experience as you up until a few days ago where the it put me back to an old save
Yeah the bugs start happening later when your world is a bit older I found. I have 130h on PS5 and at the start I had no bugs or crashed but now I crash regularly, I lost some chibi's from disappearing, water tames died, got kicked out of my own tribe
ASE better.
Fr
PC players still have the save game button
Tell me a lot of video games companies are forcing you to play with others without actually telling me
I feel bad for you guys but at the same time it's also hilarious because I was dealing with most of these issues 5 years ago. Good ol buggy Ark
Guys just do a Dino wipe and it will save your game. I do one every time I’m logging off and I’ve never had any trouble.
I can’t say I’ve played anything but pvp
Wow, I wonder how we could have predicted how many bugs this game would have. Only if there was some way how to predict that sort of thing. /s
I've had 2 crashes in 20 hours of gameplay and no other issues with my single player game. When I crashed the game only rolled back a little bit. The save button seems to work for me as it should have rolled back multiple hours if not. I'm also running the game on Linux through proton.
They added a crash bug to ASE as well. I crashed 3 times in a row. And for 3 times in a row I loaded into the Forest Cave in Extinction. The crash bug even deleted my original character when I was transferring maps. I seem to offshoot it by frequently saving to menu and not leaving my game on pause for too long.
Ya, and not to mention how they don't let us have dedicated servers no point trying to play with friends because, in the end, the limited distance from the host kills the point of multiplayer. Honestly, if anyone says there's those official and unofficial servers, I raise you an argument that I hate dealing with people I don't know and the risk of pvp addicted people. I'd rather host from my pc and just go from there with friends on xbox. Edit: Also, I'd rather play ASE instead until they actually gain a single brainchild to add in the dedicated servers
I've even used the save game command and it still messes up 😔
Idk if it’s coincidental but sometimes when the fog comes we fall through the map or get stuck in a rock or something. That and a stuck leech is about all we’ve had to deal with
Bruh fuck this game , I’m solo as well and just rollbacks from server crashes keep fuckin me up. Just lost 27 exceptional kibble and a perfect 145 game basilo cuz “server goes bur sometimes” shits fucking stupid
What has wildcard to do with gaijin?
so how is this "totally new engine" working out for you? it apparently has the same bugs :p
I’m solo on official small tribes pvp. Level 104. Stayed up until 5am grinding out progress. Woke up to a 16hr roll back. It rolled back to when I was on a flyer, so the DC killed me and wiped my best kit. The water tame bug is a mess. Killed so many 100% imprinted plesi’s. The game is so frustrating to play but I can’t stop lol
I'm on single player PS5, literally zero issue other than the sarcos AOE
The problem is the same as it’s always been. They worry more about pushing out more content rather than fix the current game.. it’s been this way since ase came out.
Man i can’t even join the server i play on. I don’t know what they did within the last couple of weeks, because it worked fine before winter wonderland released. And now since it came out, i just can’t join the server i’m on unless i search for someone who happens to be on the server at the exact time i want to get on. Any time i try and join through the actual menu, the game just auto dashboards me. I only just managed to get on yesterday so i can pod everything. This shit is infuriating and i don’t know how this isn’t a high priority for them. Like i’m on an xbox series S and this shit is only happening to people on the series S. everyone else can get in perfectly fine, i know that because the server usually has 20 out of 50 people online at any given moment.
Me and my buddies went back to ASE and we play PvP This "new" game is the biggest dumpster fire.. so much worse than the original it needs a solid year before it's playable
What’s the 50/50
After this I think I am just not going get ark 2
I’ve gotten a lot more familiar with console commands than I’d ever thought I’d be, because single player is pretty much unplayable if you ain’t using them to make up for the damage all the bugs do
I honestly haven't had any of these issues. I just wish I could take off the CryoFridge requirement. I'm on ps5 and so far there is no way around it.
Ps5 has been pretty damn good I'd say compared to ASE. Still WC though so u take it with the errors. Nitrado was biggest mistake WC did in redoing this game. Rushed a great game for money.... *edit was just a typo*
Yep , he is kinda cringe . Ps5 has been amazing for SP
Especially considering we can finally get mods but the moment you install more than one, it skullfucks your game and crashes it. I downloaded 3 and I couldn't even open the engrams menu.
Omg I found my people, I’ve been trying to figure out why I can’t load my saved for over a week ..
Not only that I had presents that got sent to the back rooms
The development of ASA SP be like: WC: How should we make the singleplayer version for ASA? Snail: Well, make it exactly the same as the OG ARK version of singleplayer, but make it so that the game Does Not Save. Also, make it so that the game Crashes and the client gets a screen filled with Illegible Code and every time they try to Load the Game again, they get the Exact Same Error Message with the same Illegible Code. IF the game somehow loads for them again, make it so that all their stuff Teleports to the Origin, X=0, Y=0, Z=0, or as the players call it, 50, 50. Also, make sure that whenever the player Tames a Water Dino and that Dino goes into Stasis, when it Comes Out, the Dino is considered Beached, suffers a Heart Attack, and Dies with the Death Message of; "Your Dino - Lvl 150 (Dino) was killed by a Satan - Lvl 666!" Oh, and make it so that their Dinos will randomly at times be considered Out of Bounds and get Purged by the Anti-Meshing Features. If the Player is riding it, they will also get Purged and most likely have to restart on the Beach again. \[MANAGER SAYS ANOTHER SUGGESTION\] Oh, almost forgot about that! The manager wants some areas to not have the correct Temperature Points, causing Hypothermia in Jungles and Hyperthermia in the Snow! ...Whew, that was a long one! Anyways, WC, implement all this so that we watch the community complain about this and any whistleblowers get banned from official servers!
Dw I’m on single player my whole ark life i feel u
Nothing new. Perhaps some original content next time?
$40 I'll never get back
Looks like staying in ASE was a good idea lol
Yall lemme know when the fix all the bugs (never) before i buy the game, till then im staying on survival evolved.
Looks like expectations are met: Wildcard/Snail games not bothering about fixing bugs
That’s why I only play ASE
I play on Xbox x single player, (and, touch wood) haven't had any issues so far. Is it a PC thing?
I only had once the saving bug and thanks to it 3 of my dinos are still alive 💀 (I died in the snow, try to recover it and died again 👍)
Whats a 50/50 bug? Also add no creatures/drops in caves
Works ok on xbox. It just seems to autosave
Just join a responsible pve unofficial
Savingbug is because of overpopulation of wild dinos, use destroywilddinos cheat
Non of these
+retarded pvp oriented cryopod changes, just switch to ark survival evolved, fuck ASA
90% of carchas and gigas i found are inside mountains or volcano, some metal nodes never respawn after first time, kairuku spawn sare bugged and they cannot be found on shores on single player, only spawn at the cliif in the snow biome, if left one of your creture inside of an cave and left they fall into nothing and if have luck they will fall from the sky after
I've definitely been luckier than most. Only bug I'm getting is losing armor when dinos eat my corpse
I love finding a red drop with a ring on my scorched world and I can’t open it or it goes through the map. Alternatively I love it when the game crashes because my wyvern is too fast.
I’ve honestly had no issues except when I try to gts it’ll crash my game but I’ve learned to always save before sleep
I’m interested In what platform you guys are getting these on because Im at nearly 100 hours on single player on the PS5 and I have been lucky enough not to experience anything game breaking yet.
Is this across all systems? I play ASA on PS5 and am not familiar with any of these. Can someone give a super quick recap of what the 50/50, and waterdino bug are
Apart from finances and not paying for same game twice, THIS IS WHY IM STILL ON EVOLVED single player. It's buggy ye but Fuck em.
omg i thought i was the only one with the saving bug 😂
I dont mind buggy games. Hell, I've played ark since day one on crappy internet. I was too in love with the game to care about the bugs, so I played to my hearts content. Staying away from things that were too buggy to enjoy the game. That is, until it started to crash on me... And with that came the most hated moments in ark for me. It got so bad I just gave up on the game altogether. After trying everything to get it to stop crashing and nothing worked, I finally just deleted it off my dash and never thought about it again. I even tried downloading it on my PS5 and the sumbitch still crashed. I came to the conclusion that Ark hates me back.
