Good afternoon,
[p][/p][p]We continue our efforts to provide updates as we address issues for both ARK: Aquatica and ARK: Survival Evolved. Studio Sirens remains dedicated to providing updates daily as issues are being logged or addressed. We are also maintaining visibility regarding bugs reported into the #「????」support channel on the Official ARK: Aquatica Discord.[/p][p][/p][p]In continued support of transparency, continued showcase of progress as well as Aquatica DLC specific content, Studio Sirens developer, Z_Swell will continue to stream live again this week![/p]
- [p]The plan for these streams is to review the updates from the latest efforts, preview upcoming fixes, and answer player/community questions.[/p][/*]
- [p]The current schedule will be: Thursday (7/31) at 2PM PST.[/p][/*]
- [p]Stream link: [dynamiclink href="https://www.twitch.tv/Z_Swell"][/dynamiclink] [/p][/*]
We are currently experiencing issues with the latest game engine update that would allow more mods to load, rather than introduce new issues, we will delay the game engine update until a solution is found. We will continue testing to be able to release the next update in full soon.
[p][/p]We have reverted the initial fix of dinos/ships disappearing cryopod issue to prevent long load times with primalgamedata. This is a complicated issue, the developers have elected to roll back this fix to accelerate load times and provide a solution soon. Remember that this bug will be reintroduced by reverting our initial fix and loss of dinos/ships/cryopod issues without tribe logs will happen again.
Current top priority issues:
- [p]FPS and Level Optimization[/p][/*]
- [p]Mods Compatibility / Updated Dev Kit[/p][/*]
- [p]Server Issues[/p][/*]
- [p]Core Functionality [/p][/*]
In the meantime, the ‘preaquatica’ branch will remain available.
