ARK: Survival Evolved

180.3
* +25% GPU Perf gains. Yes, we had the GPU's idling about 20-25% of the time due to a driver bug. You're gonna enjoy this

180.2
- You can now properly attach C4 to enemy structures again (and build tripwires nearby, etc)
- Eliminated the last edge cases with inability to melee attack structures from certain angles. Was caused by fixes to not allow you to melee-hit players or structures through walls

* Fixed an issue where various animations werent' updating out of view on clients (they were pausing)
* Claiming a Dino now properly sets its new Personal Owner data
* Hitting stuff with the Spyglass and Flaregun (which have no durability) is now akin to punching with your Fists (8 damage per hit and hurts you slightly)
* Fixed issue where pillars were sometimes not being considered "foundations". (any pillars that have this "no nearby foundation" issue will need to be rebuilt on servers upgraded to 180.4 in order to be considered a foundation)
* Fixed massive stall (4-8 seconds) associated with periodic garbage collection
* Added custom saddles for Argentavis and Carbonemys
* Spike blockades can no longer hurt you through walls

* Fixed harvesting impact decals that weren't appearing
* Exposed most current server settings to the Host Game UI
* You can't mount dinos thru walls anymore
* Building Walls can now be embedded in geometry more, providing more ways to place them

So hab das Game denn auch mal erworben.

werds morgen früh mal antesten.

Sooooo,

Spiel angetestet.

Fazit: Ca. 10 Min Ladezeit und dann bei Low einstellungen nur ca. 2 FPS.
Ergo, das ist das erste Spiel, welches meinen Laptop in die Knie zwingt.

Werde noch bissl mit den einstellungen spielen um es evtl. zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt lauffähig zu bekommen.

Aber ich habe ja gelesen, dass es derzeit ein Resourcenfresser sein soll, evtl gibts ja in paar Wochen da schon verbesserungen.

Laptops sind ja auch bescheiden,habe selber nur einen PC mit I3 und gt640 und konnte die Einstellungen jetzt mal höher schrauben und habe Ingame 25 fps,starte das spiel aber auch auf very low memory:

[img width=700 height=437]http://i.imgur.com/BaYlrSY.jpg[/img]

Werde mich morgen früh mal mit deinen Einstellungen rantasten.

Habe auch irgendwo im Netz die einzutragenen Startparameter gesehen, werd mir die auch nochmal raussuchen und denn wird das schon.

Wenn nich anders, konfesziere ich den PC meiner Tochter und begründe das als erzieherische Maßnahme ;D

* Fixed a server crash
* Increase absolute player Max Inventory Weight to 2x your Max Weight stat, rather than 1.2x

182.0

* Full Stone Structure Tier!
* Major client loading speed improvements
* Environment foliage rendering performance improvement

* New Primitive-Only Official Servers! Only stuff available that you might actually find in caveman-era tech, for role-playing fun. PvP, PvE, and PvP Hardcore in North America, EU, and OC. If players like this and the servers get crowded, we can add more

* HarvestHealthMultiplier should finally work on your custom servers
* Linux client: fullscreen at non-native resolutions now scales properly

* Restored the previous "overdamage" of Harvestable Resources, while we work in the coming days on a new balance for per-Dino Resource Harvesting multipliers -- unofficial servers can enable the limiting optionally with "ClampResourceHarvestDamage=true"
* Fixed Shark spawn percentages (may take some time to have effects on existing servers, since the increased Shark population won't immediately despawn. Go Shark Hunting to clear 'em out ;). More Dolphins, and far less Sharks.

* Fixed mod maps not automatically downloading when connecting to a server hosting a mod

182.1

* Fixed clients not seeing correct item counts on the Repair Cost tooltip when items are in a remote inventory

v183
Unversioned Hotfix:
* Fixed a server-side crash

* Fixed case of clients unable to spawn in the online game / getting booted. Temporary solution before v183 until this new version is to TOTALLY delete your game directory and redownload the game (the issue is due to having some extra old map files in your Maps dir that need to be cleared out). v183 will ignore these however. Mega props to Steam User "crua9" for helping us to track this down!
* Fixed some collision gaps in stone tier (dinos could hit thru them, etc)
* Fixed a case where you could unprone into people's bases.
* Added "Independence Fireworks" Skin for Flare Gun. Find it dropped from a variety of high-level dinos, and skin your Flares with this, to light up the night sky with a blazing fireworks display. Will only drop this weekend, so better stock up!
* New Primitive-Only Official Servers! Only stuff available that you might actually find in caveman-era tech, for role-playing fun. PvP, PvE, and PvP Hardcore in North America, EU, and OC. If players like this and the servers get crowded, we can add more
Server Admins can now explicitly remove items from the Supply Crate drops, to facilitate these primitive servers (a little later will expose the full loot tables for editing)
We'll be providing the INI's used to setup these servers so that players can easily host their own Primitive-Era servers as they may wish.
* Emote Wheel! 10 emotes for now Male and Female, along with two Emote Hotkey bindings.
* Mod makers can now override the minimap and spawn regions

* Improved visual look/materials of Stone Structures
* Likely fix for case where Tribe data could be lost when reloading a server
* Fixed a case where "Take All From Inventory" could lose items if it would make your own Inventory greater than 2x overweight. Now it'll stop if it reaches that.

183.33

* Fixed a client-side issue with building in caves (wasn't letting clients do it in legit areas)

183.32

* Fixed a bug where some legit cave structures were getting destroyed via the new underground-exploit prevention logic (will go live on ARK Official Server Network tonight)
* In PvE, Tamed Dinos will no longer attack other players' corpses/dino-corposes which they can not consume

183.31

* Fixed a client-side Crash with structure placing
* Eliminated some false-positives with underground-structure exploit detection (Behemoth Gates, etc)

183.3

* You can no longer build underneath terrain except in caves, and all structures beneath terrain except in caves is automatically destroyed (Pillars are exempt from this rule). Thank you for the reports

* Fixed a case where Flyers could spontaneously die and kill their rider
* You can now replace ceilings that have stuff placed on them without the "Obstruction" message
* Fixed a slight edge case with stone walls where attacks could still get thru them
* Minor client GPU perf gain

184.0

* Finally fixed the last erroneous "No Nearby Foundation" issue when trying to build walls etc. Thanks PhysX
* Metal Spike Walls now have correct structure damage type (weak metal rather than "wood"), and have correct scaled destruction mesh
* The absolute max inventory limit of 200 items has been raised to 300, and is now respected to avoid losing items when transferring between inventories
* Blueprints can no longer stack (wasn't intended to). any that are currently stacked will still be stacked, you won't lose any, but you can't re-stack them.
* Players can now choose to display chat as "[CharacterName][TribeName]:Chat" (the new default) or [SteamName[CharacterName]:Chat"
* Improved the look of Stone Materials underground, improved metal Materials
* Added "Craft All" button that will craft-queue as many instances of a blueprint/engram as the inventory has resources for.
* Minor client GPU performance improvement
* 40second cooldown on bloodpack usage, 30 minute spoiling time time (in a fridge it's 100x of course)
* Gates are now considered "core" structures and thus you can't build next to "enemy" gates anymore
* You can, ahem, no longer pickup the Broodmother with flyers

185.0

Note: You can now run Primitive Server using a "Mod" rather than an INI change. Details here:

http://steamcommunity.com/shar…filedetails/?id=478227612

Except more Mods soon, from us and user Mod creators!

Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed a client-side Foliage crash

* RCON for Server Admins
add these to your server commandline
?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=32330?ServerAdminPassword=123
(only need to specify a server admin password if you're not already doing so)

Then you can run any console commands that you see in the in-game ShowMyAdminManager, some useful ones include for example:

listplayers
banplayer PlayerName
unbanplayer PlayerName
exit
broadcast messageWhateverItIs

Note we don't currently send all chat back out through RCON, but we should so you can expect that shortly.

* Server Administration UI:
To use this, use the console commands in-game:
enablecheats AdminPassword
then
ShowMyAdminManager

In there you'll see all of the server settings, stats, connected players, whitelist and ban list management, message of the day, and all of the executable console commands that you can run through the GUI (which are also runnable via RCON so it's a good way to learn the RCON commands!).

* Removed caps for Play Local menu: you can now enter any values you like into the various options' text fields and they'll be saved/used properly.
* Doubled the # of inventory slots in the fridge
* Opening the In-Game Pause Menu in Singleplayer Mode now actually fully Pauses the game
* Fixed collision on Stone Foundation/Ceiling so that you can properly fit through the Stone doorway in between them.
* Fixed case where in-ground Pillars were not being considered "Foundations"
* Air Conditioning units are 100% more powerful insulation and 100% more range
* Fixed a bug with dinos that were in-taming process becoming super slow if tame process was finished after a reload
* Now takes approx 3 grenades to bring down a spike wall, fixed the explosion damage multiplier on 'em to be consistent with all other metal structures
* Ceiling replacement no longer becomes obstructed by objects on the ceiling
* Reduced OP cat-tail foliage resource giving
* ARK Dev Kit Game Data Override: Create your own survival game with total capability to override the core "gamedata" of ARK in your mod: everything can then be changed, from Engrams to Items to Character States to Dossiers. You don't even need to make a new map, you can just override all values/content on the existing ARK Island!
* Mod makers can now override the minimap and spawn regions
* Mods can now force the player to spawn-in rather than displaying the respawn map
* Dev Kit has been updated with a "GenericMod" example that gives you a Primitive-Only ARK achieved through Modding rather than through INI -- which is way more powerful because then you can totally rebalance and change ANYTHING.

185.3

* Fixed various mods crashing -- any which used custom Materials, such as Apako Island:
http://steamcommunity.com/shar…filedetails/?id=469987622

Apako Islands v0.751 Alpha

Ein Workshop-Objekt für ARK: Survival Evolved
Von: Kimmykix
The Apako Islands is a 65 Square Kilometer map mod mainly focused around islands, as opposed to one big mainland. There are many different biomes around the map, but its generally a more temperate area then most...

* Improved speed of background loading core game data while at main menu
* Fixed a Chatbox crash
* Eliminated some Snapshot_16 "permanent" hangs if banned or missing communication from server during connection
* Server Passwords now appear as Asteriks' in Admin Managment UI (soon you'll be able to change this dynamically via the UI), and "message-of-the-day changing in the UI" crash is fixed

185.2
Server-side vaults that are lowered due to destroyed foundations now retain their pin-code/lock settings.

185.1
Fixed C4 ammo problem. We recommend server admins upgrade their servers to v185.1 as soon as possible. Very sorry about that!
