Willard 245 Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) How are u locked up? Other things - losing your stuff at freeport while being killed, killed by 5 pigs, that´s pretty much problem with your ability to play the game, not game itself Edited May 19, 2019 by Willard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derfel 11 Posted May 19, 2019 yeah i think you might want to look at your rig or settings , as its not exactly something other people are experiencing Maybe lower your settings ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martyn 246 Posted May 20, 2019 It isn't perfect, there's many flaws, but that's no reason for your silly thread. That just shows who you are. Not what the game is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remo 43 Posted May 20, 2019 you need a good mid range pc with min 16 gigs ram (better 32g) i know what they say as recommended is lower than this but if you go into or on island a tile with a mega, ive seen my mem jump from 8-9 gigs to 18+ if you really kill the graphics and lower the rez, you can manage lower, but tbh game looks like shit at those settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SotD aren't a problem, their spawn is really low now. 2. Game doesn't crash that often, max 1-2 times in entire week and server disconnects are in Golden Age Ruins are almost non existent. 3. If you are dying in Freeport then you are doing something wrong. it takes 5 mins to leave freeport with a ramshackle sloop. And your loot drops if you have a ship with a bed in freeport. 4. Its Early Access so it isn't perfect yet, but the frequent crashes you are getting is due to your PC not because the game sucks. I'm playing 8-10 hrs daily since the wipe without any crashes, and my mates aren't crashing for no reason as well so the problem for you is your system and you. GL HF.

Bullet Force 151 Posted May 20, 2019 About 6-7 months in and still only 3 PVP ships. Yep this game is officially a joke but never mind we get free comsetics that will bring back all the players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EyEamInfidel 31 Posted May 20, 2019 Lower your video settings..the game doesnt crash that often.. my pc freezes occasionally but i know its my video card its old.. And you can recover your loot in freeport now.. find your body,at the base of the big green column in the sky. The sotd issue was just a fluke, they arent as bad, but you do have to avoid them when they spawn in front of you. Go try it again and have fun.. Id probly check your pc tho..bad internet, low memory and a old graphics card can make the game not fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dulu 11 Posted May 20, 2019 The game was hard for me too when I started. I never played Ark or any type of survival game. Once I started playing with more experienced Ark players, and learning the ropes - the game becomes a LOT of fun. But yes, it seems like you have an issue with your PC or settings. Get that fixed, and then if you need someone to help you get started (EU PVP), message me on Discord. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winter Thorne 696 Posted May 20, 2019 Jean's not a newbie. He does know how to do this stuff, and some of what he's saying is true, especially with severe graphics lag. If you get an unlucky sotd spawn and you're graphics lagged, you're dead, that's all there is to it. If you're chopping a tree in freeport and a pig wanders up at the wrong time, and you're lagged, you're going to hit it. Does sound like a pc config issue of some sort though, since nearly everyone is not having those kinds of issues anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocHolliday 366 Posted May 20, 2019 My zone is one of the worst ones in the game. Every single island is massively built up. We run a constant 150-200ms ping and around bases my rig begs for mercy. Crashing? I haven't had one in about a month now. Its been very stable. It needs its server/client optimizations, but its stable which I could not say even 2 months ago.

Could be his network, could be a configuration setting, could be a problem peculiar to his graphics card only when combined with a particular setting, etc. You don't just run out and buy a new pc without looking at those things.

DannyUK 308 Posted May 20, 2019 I don't have the problems you have been having although I have experienced "shooter game" errors, quite few more than usual but nothing on the scale you are experiencing. I think this might be pc related and not the game itself, are you playing on high settings with low end pc? Stay away from the pigs, turn when you see sotd and you'll be fine. The game isn't perfect but I still love the game, just stick with it and you will pick it up and enjoy it more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dying in a Freeport, I'm not sure how you even go about doing that, unless you really have no idea about how this game works, there aren't even any hostile mobs there, you shouldn't have an issue with losing anything. I don't have an issue with crashing, maybe every 2-3 weeks, maybe instead of a tirade you ask for help with pc specs or troubleshooting, because it seems that is where your problem likely lies.

Sotd are easy to dodge and won't even attack rafts or sloops unless they're right on top of you. Again, if they're sinking you, that's YOUR fault. As for loot drops never had this issue either, probably linked to having a potatoe for a pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
