Great Game, but has some issues…

I LOVE Ark, I played on console and the old mobile, and I love how you guys have finally brought the DLCs and all of that to mobile, it really got me addicted to it for a while. It’s great, but there’s a lot of issues, as stated in the title. Firstly, “Looks like speed hacking,” every time the game will freeze, but not actually freeze. You’re able to keep moving but everything else is frozen then it’ll rubber and you back to where the lag started (which is a reoccurring issue). Then it kicks, not just me, but everyone playing with me for supposed “speed hacking,” it also does it when you’re standing still sometimes. I understand that there’s probably been a large issue with speed hackers, but this is just a little absurd. Also, you need a system for kicking and/or banning those who are spamming in chat and trying to sell a “tek account” and hacks, because it makes the game nearly unplayable with the massive, hacked in tek bases and millions of dinosaurs. Obviously, not every massive tek base is hacked in, but clearly some of them aren’t quite possible for how long they’ve been playing. But in the end, it’s still a good game, if not extremely buggy.

Was better…

The previous version of this game on mobile was by far way better… and the games performance was just terrible very laggy and bad…
Such a pity because I loved this game, the old one that is

Used to be better

This game just is not as good as the older one unfortunately. And even evaluated on its own it’s is just eh, not to mention the performance of game itself.

Suggestions

Make it so you don't need the damn ark pass to use the
federation suit, I bought all of the maps with that bundle and I can't use it. Make it so there's ways to reduce lag further too, I love the game but its hard to love it further if I can't play it for too long cause of how quick it burns through battery.

So good the game

It is so good

Opinion

The best game existing.

It’s really really fun, but it’s pay to win

Just make less stuff pay win

Love but friendly fire is frustrating

Love the game! Although the one thing if I had to change anything is that you could disable friendly fire. Sounds like some other people as well as myself have easily killed tamed animals. I've killed almost every baby I've hatched because they are so fragile. And it's frustrating because they aren't always very easy to make. If not disabled then maybe used another button to do what you need to with the hatches separate from the same button as attack

2.5 stars

It’s weird to me that every other review is “5 starts but…” and they don’t like the game much after all.

I never even got to the game. Download took forever and was made worse by some stupid dodo game it kept trying to get me to play. No direction, no logic and no interest on my part. Game up on the download completely.

Subject: Blurry Graphics on iPad Pro 2022 (M2) for ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition

I am playing ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition on an iPad Pro 2022 (M2 chip). Despite the powerful hardware, the in-game graphics are extremely blurry.
I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps, but none of them worked:

1. Adjusted the in-game settings: Maxed out the Resolution Scale, disabled Bloom, Depth of Field, and Motion Blur, and adjusted the Gamma.
2. Tried various console commands: Applied sharpening commands ( r.tonemapper.sharpen 2 ), disabled volumetric clouds/fog/bloom ( r.volumetriccloud 0 , r.fog 0 , r.bloomquality 0 ), and forced disabled anti-aliasing ( r.AntiAliasingMethod=0 ).
3. Checked iPad system settings: Confirmed that the Display Zoom is set to “Standard” and Low Power Mode is turned off.
4. Restarted the game and re-entered the save file after applying the commands.
Could this be an engine limitation or a known optimization issue for the iOS version? Are there any other advanced console commands or workarounds to fix this blurry/TAA smearing issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fun but unplayable

Game would be unbelievably fun if not for the glitches/crashes. I would have no problem playing this game for hours on end but I spend most of my time dealing with glitches and getting kicked out of the server. The developers need to fix these issues before it is even playable.

Great game but a few suggestions and one problem I suggest fixing

The problem is that North American servers keep crashing, by a LOT. I also suggest adding ark apocalypse servers and also unofficial servers. Anyone else reading this, I recommend playing on European servers.
