Getting through cert on a Sunday... 2020 is definitely the wildest of years. Hang in there PS4 folks, hope to have some good news to share with ya soon :) https://twitter.com/survivetheark/status/1277454779459887104Console Survivors, Xbox: v800.18 has passed certification and has been pushed live. Please restart your applications/consoles to download the patch. This should resolve crashes that were introduced with the release of the Summer Bash event. PS4: The fix is currently in cert.
This thread was added on June 29, 2020, with posts from Jatheish.
@kibracamonte35 Unofficials only need to rollback if they want to restore anything lost (i.e aberrant dinos) by the release of v800.11 -- these are client patches to fix issues with crashes/invisible creatures etc.
@J3R3MY117 We'll likely discuss next week and let ya guys know in the upcoming Crunch (or maybe Ced will share on twitter onces its determined, either way it'll be extended and ya will find out next week).
@J3R3MY117 and by next week, I literally mean in like 12 hours or something when the office day begins lol
@kibracamonte35 We'll share the details next week, probably discuss it in Mondays' mtgs which are like 12h from now.
@missy_1986 Sadly not yet as we were focused on resolving all these other issues, but this will be taken care of soon early this coming week.
@mle_ii @PootyMcPootster As long as you're on v800.111 (server), then it'll be safe.
@RealxPsyChox @tyler_zoliner @survivetheark We're still going to, it just went on the backburner to deal with these other issues/crashes on Xbox + PS4.
@mle_ii @PootyMcPootster Fixed, cheers
He'll be missed... 🕯️ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ebpyh6NXQAE0uO6.jpg
As frustrating as these issues were to deal with, this screenshot did make me smile.
@simonallum Character appearance data wasn't lost, just.. visuals, so once the PS4 patch (I assume you're on PS4?) rolls out, you'll get that back.

PS4 Client: pending cert
@yrncj2 @survivetheark Typically we aren't able to preannounce sales because they're done in tandem with partners (and maybe laws? not sure).
@yrncj2 @survivetheark Yep, we'll definitely have more sales across our products in the future.
@mle_ii @simonallum ooh I thought they were referencing a general character setup, this was the only 'abnormal' character screenshot I had seen hehe
@seanedits Nah, I just don't respond to everyone, especially those who rely on logical fallacies. Though if you'd like to look through my 23k tweets, you'd find the majority (~90%) are responding to criticism and relaying information (70% of which are likely ARK specific).
@seanedits I'm sympathetic to your frustrations, but that first 20gb update was 10000% critical and needed because of issues introduced with the latest major version and as was this follow up update.
@seanedits If you go over your data usage because of our patches, that sucks, but you're also a responsible human being who has the power to have self control over how much data they actually use. Take responsibility for your own decisions.
@seanedits The 20gb update was necessary as the latest major version introduced an issue with some core game files, we had to patch them in again. Unfortunately those files also 'touch' or 'link' up to a bunch of other things in the game, hence the very large patch size.
@seanedits The crashes were actually related to memory, and prior to that 20gb update players would have had more due to the corrupted files. So a side effect of fixing it, meant that players had access to less memory, thus causing more crashes. However this latest update (v800.18) fixes it
@ZZapus @simonallum Unfortunately we're not able to rollback Obs specifically
@Rpurser311 @yomomma24481252 Don't have an ETA, it's being pushed through the systems though so hopefully sometime soon. It's just a client patch that needs to go out, nothing to do with servers.
Here's another one, don't think it ever saw the light of day so hopefully, I don't get yelled at for sharing but boy did it crack me up. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ebp6SUCXsAAZhMG.png
@ZZapus @simonallum We may have a better way to handle this in the future and it's something I'll be discussing with the team in our mtgs today (Monday).
If you're wondering who this is... it's this guy. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ebp6zizXsAcBLWm.jpg
@ZZapus @simonallum Yep, folks are likely still going to crash on PS4 rather frequently until this client update gets through cert, but we aren't doing any rollbacks
And one more, see ya later guys :P http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ebp74d0XYAsY3HW.jpg
Some more good news. Hopefully we'll hear back from Japan & EE (Europe, rest of the world) soon too as their work days are just starting to begin/will begin in a few hours. None of these patches will require server restarts, just client side updates. https://twitter.com/survivetheark/status/1277490229939712005North & South American (SCEA) PS4 Players, We can confirm that the latest client patch (v549.12) with the fixes has passed cert & is live. Please restart your applications/consoles to download the patch. We're still waiting to receive confirmation for other regions.
Big plays from Microsoft and Sony to get these out over the weekend ❤️
I'll probably get a bit quiet again on social now that were through these fires, so for those of you who are seeking ARK news make sure you're following these fine accounts: @survivetheark @ComplexMinded @NotDollie
@bubblywums norts & crosses too
@CarlosAKABabyJ Sure but the approval would have taken place over the weekend for it to be pushed out right now :P
@KEEMSTAR He didn't say he doesn't know, he said Twitch hasn't notified him.
@JordanLaws0n @NotDollie Correct, we haven't worked on ATLAS for sometime now but were only able to announce the change recently when some of the new crew were introduced.
@sam39857826 @ZZapus @simonallum Yep, they will go back to normal.
@tazman1983 @ComplexMinded @NotDollie It's just connecting to some platform owned downloads servers and getting the files from there. You might have better luck pausing/resuming but its not something we have control over.
@tazman1983 @ComplexMinded @NotDollie For PS4, doing something like this could help, it seems like others have had success w/ it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/522ttn/ps4_downloads_are_notoriously_slow_i_might_have/d7gvuvh/
Otherwise just pausing/resuming or just afking whilst it downloads.
@tazman1983 @ComplexMinded @NotDollie Arguably all platforms (literally all) are probably experiencing higher user counts the past few months than ever before due to the pandemic so I can understand things are overloaded.
@tazman1983 @ComplexMinded @NotDollie We don't host the updates, we just push them through to the other platform systems and theyre sent out to users from there. So whatever platform you're playing on, they're the ones in control of that stuff.
@tazman1983 @ComplexMinded @NotDollie @XboxSupport @XboxSupport1 @XboxSupport2 Seems likely that it's random, some days you're hitting a CDN that's giving you good speeds, other days it's probably busier than you expect, lot of factors come into play.
@tazman1983 @ComplexMinded @NotDollie Could always try unpausing/pausing :P. Also make sure you're not streaming to the Xbox App as that'll definitely slow it down (and close other open applications). If it's any consolation, I get slow downloads no matter the game haha. I suspect it's just because they're overloaded
@tazman1983 @ComplexMinded @NotDollie Haven't opened any specifically, I just let it ride out and do something else whilst downloading.
RT @survivetheark: PS4 Players in European, Oceanic, Middle Eastern, and African regions (SCEE),
We can confirm that the latest client pat…
@H0lliween @survivetheark The patches we've rolled out over the past 24 hours should deal with it. We're still waiting for the update to come through on PS4 Japan and Windows 10 on PC.
@SamHarries01 @NotDollie Yep.
@SamHarries01 @NotDollie Should be.
@Jedisaber @survivetheark @NotDollie @ComplexMinded They've been enabled since Friday
RT @nicholestrano: Did I sleep well?
No.
Did I go to bed at a reasonable time? Also no.
Am I gonna do better tonight?
Alas, no.
RT @ComplexMinded: Summer is never long enough right? Agreed!
We're extending our Summer Bash event an extra week! You have until July 2…
