I went through this problem several times over the years but was always related to the screen mode I couldn't use full screen. However this time it just happened out of nowhere and had me thinking about the post above.So I did a google search for corrupted windows files and found a fix I have seen before.So I used this Microsoft link...https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e Then after running those two file checks it did say there was corrupted files and then reboot computer and everything was ok again and the game sound was back.I think we recently had a windows update but really leaves us with concerns as to why we would get corrupted files after an update.

BTW i just came back to try this game and it made me VERY bitter,my cannons disappeared my armor disappeared ,it is like we keep resetting the game because of pvp players. I did a full exit of game and will not ever play this game again because of most likely people going in to DISCORD and crying about how THEIR pvp experience isn't perfectly how they want it, i DEMAND NERFS !!. So part of the blame is on pvp crying and part on the team for completely ignoring the pve players and soloers or small groups.Some of this games most staunch supporters have all left and are playing Valheim and Valheim is not even a good game,that says a lot. BTW..How has the pvp population evolved with all these changes?it hasn't ,,instead it devolved down to nothingthat kind of tells you right there that the direction has been the wrong direction to take.

There are several levels of BAD decision making here. 1 I have stated for a long time PVP is ruining ANY chance this game has at being fun because it is the pvp players ALWAYS whining. 2 Since when does the craft % give you better aim or make you more skillful?You still have to aim no matter what the cap is. 3 There are so FEW points to spend that it should come down to CHOICE on how to spend those points.Why should CHOICE to put more into INT be removed by pvp whiners?So what this comes down to is NO you don't deserve to have a say or CHOICE because ME ME ME I want blueprints and INT to have no purpose and just turn this game into a BR...aka Fortnite. 4 All i have seen over and over is nerf nerf nerf,nerf pets because pvp whining,nerf canons pvp whiningnerf crafting pvp whining,You can't put cannons there nor there WHY>>pvp whining. 5 Maybe now the most important part,TWO types of players,,this team should be catering to BOTH and not one set of pvp whiners.You want to make changes to ruin FUN to cater to pvp players,fine give them their settings and leave the PVE game alone because god forbid some if us just want to have some FUN!! So is it more important to keep nerfing everytime a pvp player wants to go to Discord and cry about we need more nerfs or is it better to just have some FUN playing?I mean my god the amount of change over pvp alone has been insane.Even worse is that all this time change change change,,the team SHOULD have been cleaning up the code and bug fixing and looking for more FUN things to do instead of removing it. Finally...I guarantee this is not the last we hear from pvp crying,,they cry and demand this game be nerfed right until it ends up a BR Fortnite game.

I think the OP is mixing up farmhouses with breeding,they are a separate worry not together as one. Breeding was complained about in Ark "by the devs" ,they said it was too much of a strain on servers. Farmhouses and Warehouses are a form of "automation"that is a direct contradiction to what the OP is claiming as this is making it so you are NOT playing the game,it is playing itself. So i have to ask,WHERE did the op come up with these ideas and conclusions because they are not factual.Everything i stated IS factual. This game was NEVER advertised or sold as a battle Royale on seas.The marketing video gave a vision of what players should expect from this game.The game as released gave gamer's a vision,that vision was Fantasy,WAS PVe and of course also pvp.So don't point fingers at PVE players if they just want to have some FUN with the game and not turn it into a battle Royale on seas. I am quite sure most know of Dr.D and his sidekick buddy.They were playing SOT and that is also supposed to be a pirate game,they turned it into nothing more than a Battle Royale that ALWAYS ended up as a BR on land.So be careful what you ask for because the writing is on the wall,if you try and diminish this game,turn it into a shallow one dimensional game of BR on seas,you will have RUINED the game.

I constantly hear people defending ideas but forget this team implemented torpedos and submarines,so how does the team adhere to the Pirate theme?So we need to quit creating excuses. FACT:They have been complaining about server strain from breeding in Ark.They have been trying to work around it in Ark but with less employees and less care for Atlas,don't be surprised to just see them remove stuff. I want to QUIT seeing nerf after nerf ,i want to see the game grow and NOT with automation like farmhouses and warehouses.So again if this was adhering to a true PIRATE game,would they have warehouses,farm houses?NO so yeah quit making excuses for them.

I will set this argument straight,it is NOT simply a means to get out of freeport. I know streamer group of very good players that used nothing but the Ramshackle for months. Reason? PVP why would you spend time building something that will be destroyed quickly?So this one streamer was very careful moving around and figured if anyone takes his sloop he can just spawn back at freeport and grab another one.His goal was to get as many points/discoveries before wasting time on anymore of the game.You have to be at a point inthe game to defend your self and your stuff,that takes a long time unless you have 20 buddies helping you,MOST people do not. Plus as someone else already mentioned,the ship wrecks are a FAST and easy method of gold and blueprints. Personally i loved the ramshackle,i could put 4-5 cannons on the back "all i needed"easy to steer,gets in anywhere.Yes the one drawback was weight,i put all my points into weight.What i did was start by just zipping around and gaining points,no need to stop for anything,if i die respawn in bed,continue zipping around,weight was up in no time. if your on pve then sure,simple to make something worthwhile to ride around in but you can't forget the pvp side of the game,it changes all your decisions.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was going on with tames when they were lost and my experience has seen only two results.They can be lost right on a zone line "lag" but will actually show up 20-40 feet from the zone line "either side" or are floating around somewhere in the water depending where they fell off. For the most part,i would say they are gone for good.I tried actually hopping on a fast mount and chasing them down when they went floating off and they just disappear.Some float upwards and they also disappear for good. To be honest i have not had this issue with lost pets in quite some time,over a year.However i did have issue with npc's i claimed from pirate ship fights.Once in awhile one would bug and just floating away or bouncing away.It always appears to be an issue after crossing zone lines which has been a long standing issue with this game since day 1. On the matter of pets in the water,often those have washed into shore after falling or being whistled off a passing boat and or the boat was sunk or decayed over time.I honestly have not had pet issues in over a year other than my own mistake with accidental whistles and why you should take pets off of group whistles.I am one of those people that gets all the problems and likely because i have played a LOT and on many servers so i have a good chance of experiencing all the issues. One thing the past has proven is that every time there is a major update,problems follow right behind.

I gave up trying to run my own server,way too many issues with this game to bring others on board for my server then see issue after issue. My point is i am just going to use single player to sort of test longevity of a server but when i went to try it i get an automatic message from the mod tool helper "it is not safe to use zones".I made sure to delete all the files i could find ,check for file integrity,start a new server again,reboot pc,i did everything and i still get the same error.So that tells me any time spent will be wasted long term. I noticed an issue that seems to be a sure tell tale of problems and that is if you cross a zone line then look fro your boat and see it still posted as being in the last zone,there are problems with the server. Are other people having these same issues?Did the recent update completely kill the single player game/map because i also heard about some changes and i noticed the treasure map lights were spawning in the water.They don't even activate in the water,i tried.So it is like the maps have been altered or something?

Have PC users been shunned now?How do we post bug reports? Under support?

So i replicated the exact same freeze 2 in a row.I was moving a stack of the yellow sulphur to my inventory and it froze each time.I had to logout of account on a cntrl/alt/del because it wouldn't allow me to enter into task manager either. So on a third try i tried just clicking a few of the stack over to my inventory all was good.So then i try putting those few Sulphur into my Mortar Pesttle and it froze the same way again.SO it happens when i try to grab an entire stack of the Sulphur no matter what size it is ,stack of 3..10 500 doesn't matter it freezes/locks up every time.

So i got a few eggs like i am sure others have.Put it on hotbar,used them and then all of a sudden i can't use my bow.So i tried to craft another and i can't craft a bow now either.So i tossed the bow i had and tried but still nothing. I tried a respec ..nope,i login and out a few times still nothing,no BOW use at all and unable to craft a bow. I had this same bug quite awhile back,like 2 months ago so odd it has returned.I was having Spear problems prior to this patch,couldn't throw a spear but seems to be working MOST fo the time but it still gets bugged sometimes where i have to unequip the spear a few times to get it to work so i can throw it.

No it i a system i am not in favor of and don't want to touch any official servers right now. I want a true PVE experience,i do NOT as i am sure others do not want to be some other players puppet.

My expectations for this EA game was bug fixing and content updates,not pvp tweaking or server reboots. I wish now we were told the EXACT intent of this game because MANY of us joined for PVE and never expected PVP to influence PVE server wipes or even have PVE settings catered to pvp. OFFLINE<<<keyword.How are game settings going to affect players when they are offline,nobody can game or wants to play 24/7.So a group of friends in a different time zone than a larger alliance is all offline,every last player offline,how are the settings going to help them and the game ? Gamer's cannot cater to game settings,they have lives to live,so the settings MUST cater to the players.If you are going to focus on pvp make sure it does not affect or alienate pve players which is likely half the community.PVP should have safe areas and be VERY restricted because of two very keywords "unbalance" and "offline".

Now see this is why i constantly state that PVP does and never will work because if all you do is cater to pvp you take away everything a game can do to improve itself and/or to have more fun. Can't do this..can't do that all because pvp,why lessen agame for a mode,many people don't even like pvp at all.At one point i know the total player base on pve was 3x that of pvp ,even if it is split ,your making a worse game to worry about pvp.Developers don't put a lot of effort into their tweaks fixes as yo usaw by the sinking ship fix,you'll never be able to caterr to pvp and get the game setup properly.

To be honest,i would happy playing with just 2 zones or whatever we call them..grids and around 14 isles,i could game everyday on that amount of space.Imo it is nice to have real player neighbours in game,if i had 10 players per island over 14 maps,that is a 140 players,There is no server with that amount of players right now.Point being even 2 grids is plenty but yeah takes some editing to get it all in.
