ARK: Aquatica and A.S.E. progress outlook 7/26

Good afternoon,
[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 maintaining visibility regarding bugs reported into the #「📩」support channel on the Official ARK: Aquatica Discord.[/p][p][/p][h3]In continued support of transparency, continued showcase of progress as well as Aquatica DLC specific content, Studio Sirens developer, Z_Swell will be continuing to stream live![/h3]
  • [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]Schedule for the next week of developer streams coming soon.[/p]
[h3]
On Tuesday (7/22), we released an update that included a fix for loading mods that will continue to be developed. Another solution will be coming soon. While we have specifically tested certain mods, we are going through a list provided by the community.[/h3][h3][/h3][h3]While the specific game engine issue is being addressed and is progressing, we would also like to iterate that FPS optimization and server cluster transfer work will be elevated to a higher priority on our pipeline. We will continue to provide updates on these issues as they are developed.[/h3][h3][/h3][h3]The last update on Friday (7/25) developed a potential issue with “PrimalGameData” taking a long time to load. The game might seem to be stalled but it does in fact load, it will take a while. After the first time loading, joining servers/loading into the game returns to normal speed. We advise that players do not bail out/close the program and let the program load normally for the first time.[/h3][h3][/h3][h3]Currently, we are dealing with a few complex issues regarding fixes that are going into the next update, we hope to have an update soon.
[/h3][h3]In the meantime, the ‘preaquatica’ branch will remain available.[/h3][p][/p][h2]Issues pipeline and coming fixes (v360.6 Live Branch)[/h2]
