Red visual glitch.

Does anyone know how to fix this glitch. For some reason Asa is making the game extremely red. This only happens when I'm in the game the menus and starting screen look normal.

XSX Private Server Mods. Looking for stable QOL without reducing graphics/FPS

Most posts discussing console mods are 9 months to a year old. I'm starting a private server on xbox with a few friends. The requests I'm getting is to ensure the framerate and graphics aren't reduced or stuttering. Are their any mods that help with that?

Also any must have QOL mods that are still supported without sacrificing the grind and/or playthrough?

Finally, any insight into the current state of actual ability to play the game on XSX/XSS?

Thank you!

ASE Solo Item Transfer bug

https://preview.redd.it/8ujwu3q5blae1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c745b55dad47d3f254698501b46d2cfdec4b4d89

Hi, I have a bug when I go inside the Data tab, a bunch of engrams and some non-transferable items are in there, It doesn't prevent me from transferring items but it's quite annoying.
This bug happened when I crashed while ascending from Scorched Earth (Which also deleted my character, thanks ARK)
I wanted to know if there was a way to clean the tab without having to uninstall and reinstall the game or not ?
Thanks for reading
(Also sorry for the repost I coulnd't get the image and the text at the same time)

ASA wipes all singleplayer saves after Ascending?

Not sure if anyone's dealt with this. All three Island Ascensions worked fine, but SE (first attempt) and Aberration (once so far) have deleted all my map saves after killing the Boss and Ascending.

I can get them back by closing the game and re-opening it, but the spawn screen suggests I've died in the boss arena and it doesn't register an ascension on the Implant.

Side note, what's the fastest, cheatiest way to kill Rockwell? Kill command works on his tentacles but if you point it at the main body before his heart opens you'll get softlocked, and if it is open then the command ceases to work. Ascendant Firearms and ridiculous dino levels work alright but it's just such a PITA of a fight because the cycle repeats a good 5 or 6 times and I can't be bothered doing that just to need to repeat it again.

Edit: Weird update, literally my entire inventory (All skins unlocked, everything obtained from the boss battle, even every engram I've unlocked that can be crafted by hand) is in the obelisk transfer menu. So the game clearly says "you've killed this boss, here's the rewards" but didn't Ascend me?

Anyone know how to fix this?

The thin metal pillar won’t give me a structure window from any angle so I can’t pick it up. I can’t cryo, can’t remove the cart or saddle, can’t damage the pillar, and can’t apply a skin to give it a wider hit box. Anyone else know a fix for this?

Lore explanation - dinos on earth?

The creatures in the Genesis simulation are explained by the simulation itself. On the arks they are created/cloned by the arks.

Does anyone know how the dinos/creatures on earth (aka Extinction) are explained in the lore? After all, the reseeding protocol only takes places after the defeat of the king Titan, so they cant be from the arks.

weird dino levels bug. how do i fix? (ASA)

I’ve recently started a scorched earth save and it was going well, normal level spawns from 5, 10, and to even 150 until later on in about day 5ish? i destroyed wild dinos because i added in a few minor dinosaur mods that were having a hard time to spawn but then all of a sudden I ran into an irreversible issue it seems that I can’t find a fix to. The highest dinosaur levels were 118 and i was finding level 1 and level 3 creatures which shouldn’t be. Every single high level creature capped at 118 and there wasn’t even a 120 or anything. Not even any level 10s just 9s and 11s. I’ve tried everything I can to fix this but it’s not going away, the highest level thing I’ve found was a level 134 egg but thats it… Is there anyway to fix this or may I just have to live with it?

ASE Boss Rush

Heyo! Planning an event for an ASE server cluster I am on, where we are gonna do ALL bosses across all maps in one day.

With each boss fight, we'll be using different dinos. Keep things interesting rather than just sweep with rexes/theris/gigas all the way through.

Haven't found a straight answer to this with google:

What bosses are on each map?

Would make planning easier knowing that, thank you in advance!

Do some people have traps that shoot you?

I am on PS5 and when i ride around on PvP server and want to look at a enemy base i gen instantly PWND.
Ofcourse it could be arrows or bullets. But i wonder if they sit ready at the base or there is some sort of trap / gun that fire when you get close to it.
Thx for answer, It is not a heavy modded server no.

Server renting for PC gamepass ark:se

Is this possible? Me and my friend want to do this but we don't have enough machines to run a dedicated server and both play. Everywhere I look online to rent a server it says platform:PC but doesn't specify if it's steam or gamepass or epic, and from what I can tell, steam players can't play with gamepass players so it will need to be the right platform... Does anyone have an insight for this

Sanctuary

I was just wondering if the sanctuary, on extinction, was still safe from meteors? I'm 90% sure I've seen meteors land in the perimeter of the city when the map released

Best Vanilla-esque creature mods for ASA?

Outside of the ark addition creatures by Garuga, what are some good vanilla-esque creature mods that yall would recommend for a Vanilla+ type playthrough?

As a bonus, you can suggest other mods you think enhance the vanilla experience as well :)

Help with fatal error

ASE

Help I lost a save with a couple of friends after randomly getting a fatal error occurred while trying to load it up.

I have 28 mods enabled and they were working fine until I went to tweak the ark settings a bit and went to rejoin and now nothing works.

I’ve tried -dx11 run option -Launching with the unofficial server and regular -uninstalling -verifying -rolling back to older saves/characters/tribes -deleting all mods and reinstalling

Is there anyway to recover the save or do I gotta start fresh
