Lower FPS (~20-40 fps drop)
Loading MODs can take about 20 mins for 19 (on windows, it takes less than 2 mins). This happens on every map load. MODs seem to not stay loaded and need to be loaded every time you load a map. Does not happen on Windows.
Random crashes make playing multipler a problem. Of course, the crashes always happen at the worst time and then trying to load back into the game and your player is already in there so you need to wait ~5-10 mins just to be able to log into the server again.
Overall, it is playable but expect crashes and expect to have LONG loading times with MODs. Not being able to log back in may be an ARK issue, but the crash is the reason for this.
Had to install runtimes using winetricks:
winetricks vcrun2022
Works perfectly with no crashes.
-skipStartScreen --launcher-skip
Slightly slower loading
Game runs great! I added the skip params as everyone suggested it and I have no issues. Runs smooth too
Works great, need to force quit to exit tho
Game will not exit. Just force close the app to close it or exit Steam.
Does nothing after it installs
I tried installing experimental, 7.0-2, and 6.3-8. None worked for me.
--skip-launcher
At first, this would not install. My issue was due to installing on a secondary drive. I had to change the mount options to inlcude uid=1000,gid=1000 for this to work. Mounting as root will prevent this from installing and running.
Once I got it to install, I had to use --skip-launcher since the launcher was causing issues but then everything works!
I played locally to test it out, then hopped on a game I am currently playing with my friends. So far, no issues other than slower load times. Nothing too crazy but worth mentioning.
I am very happy to get this working. I did NOT need to do the file manipulation others have done with the bin and SupportTool.exe. I actually did these originally but then reverted back to the backups so it should be in a vanilla state.
Doesn't work anymore
--use-d3d11 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES
I have tried with multiple GE versions and Experimental. This no longer works for me on Ubuntu 24. When launching, it will process the vulkan shaders in Steam but when the game changes to running state, it just crashes.
Installs but can't load menu to see anythin
The game installed fine. It opens and shows the intro video. It loads the shaders then I am stuck on a gradient background, 10 mins and still nothing. This happens on default steam proton, hotfix, experimental, GE-10-4, and GE-10-3, and the beta so far. Simply does not load once you get past the shaders part.
