Spawned Dinos

Do spawned dinosaurs stay in the map or do they eventually disappear? I spawned these in because I wanted to have them around my base - I think they make it look peaceful😆 and they are not tamed, but will they eventually disappear? I’m in the Valguero map. Also, does this apply to all wild spawned dinos? TIA!!

What are steps to set up a 2 player server?

Controller issue for PS5

Controller issues Ps5

I'm not getting any haptic feedback or vibration from my PS5 controller. Both settings for vibration and UI are set to on, but I get nothing. PS5 settings are set to default with the controller. Is there a fix to this or a known bug?

Host dedicated server question

Hello all, I recently came into possession of a spare ps4. I am thinking of using it as a host for running a host dedicated server and play ASE on my ps5 with some family members. I was curious on what yalls experiences are with this, any pro’s or con’s?

I already have the game set up on all devices but before committing to using all that electricity I wanted some real life feedback from the community. TIA

Why did he cap at 118?

I've seen most people reference max wild level as 150 and max tamed levels in the 200s so why is he capped at 118? I was leveling him up on Dead Island and suddenly he stopped gaining levels when I still wanted to put more into weight and speed. I play single player if that helps

Ark lvl too low

I have a dedicated server, i‘m currently hosting, but I don‘t know how to change the level settings of the dinos. The problem is difficult is on 1, but I only see very low levels like 5 to 20, i‘m playing on extinction. I‘ve already seen high level ones but very, VERY rare and I don‘t know what to do. Have someone a conclusion, is my game bugged or what?

Beware

Some random dude named boogieman joined my non dedicated server me and 3 of my friends were playing on, we were up to level 80 on a raft getting resources in the snow. I’ve had randoms join before but all of them just joined with a new low level character and weren’t able to do anything besides be a nuisance. But this guy was level 105, my friends tried punching this guy out when he first joined and was still in the cutscene because he was naked in the snow and my friends had chitin and flak armour but he tanked all the hits and then knocked one of them out, the dire wolf we had tamed was whistled attack onto him but he 3 tapped it with his fists and then took the sword out of my friends unconscious body and one tapped literally everyone, including our argy we just tamed. If I didn’t immediately shut down the server he would’ve destroyed our entire raft and probably got rid of everything. To make things even more strange, he was flying around like he was in god mode but he appeared to be taking damage when my friends tried to punch him. Any advice?

Baryonyx tips

Hi guys, Playing ark After many years again. Now i started freshly and had a lvl 6 baryonyx, which i somehow luckily managed to tame. I cannot ride it and its my only dino atm. Is there a list or something where i can see, which dinos he is able to kill solo? I dont want to lose him because i try to level him against to strong creatures. For example i have a lot of brontos and megalodons Here. Will it die against them or are they easy prey?

I have ark on disc and can’t buy/download dlc without the digital copy

(Picture of clay dinosaurs I made because images are mandatory)

So I have been playing ark for a while and recently noticed the dlc’s are free now, but when I went to download them, it told me to buy the game first (digital copy). It’s only €15 but I’d still rather get it for free. Does anybody know what to do?

Is it possible to Admin Command Beat a Boss?

A small group of friends and I are going through ps4 dedicated, beating bosses normal...but we plan to hopscotch through renting a cluster to get to the maps we couldn't do through normal dedicated, and I really don't want to go through the abberation boss fight again lol, so I was wondering if there was a way to put in a beat boss command.

Ark literally won’t save

It crashes every time I try to leave. Even when I run SaveWorld it doesn’t always save (random picture)

Question about render distance and Dino Spawning/existing on single player

I died miles away from home. Will my Pteranodon be ok when I get back?

Still kind of new to the game, single player on lost island, obviously it's an easy enough flyer to replace but it was decently levelled and my body has some helpful, somewhat valuable equipment and resources. I'm not so devasted that I need to go and get everything right this second, I have time to tame another flyer and gear up before going back. But I did leave enough behind for it to be worth going back even if he's already dead, so I'm wondering:

Has he despawned/been unloaded until I get close enough to load him in? In which case there is no time pressure to go right away only the decay timer on my dead body?

Or is he just sitting there, eating his food and waiting to be attacked? I had his behaviour set to attack my target, which I think means if any predators attack him he will fight, not run. Good for not losing him, bad if he gets attacked too many times or by a group.

Also if he does get unloaded will he stop eating or will he still be eating his food and potentially die of hunger?

(He was waiting for me when I died probably a couple hundred metres away when I ran into a Theri r.i.p, so I don't think he's died to what killed me)
