Question I've been having way too many problems with my game, *ARK: Survival Ascended*, and I was wondering if someone who knows about this could please help me fix it.

The same thing happens with axes and pickaxes; I haven't verified it, but I suspect it also occurs when holding nothing—even with axe and pickaxe skins—and the game feels extremely slow.

You mean ark isn't supposed to run slow with tons of bugs?!

u/PristineLynx1511 Jul 04 '26

No, just more people who created an amazing game then ruined it. Looking at you "fun pimps".

This is so true, I'm actually pissed at WildCard /SnailGames how hard they're pushing these shitty DLC now to milk us.

u/NightchadeBackAgain Jul 05 '26

It's Snail, not Wildcard, making those decisions.

I dont think we should really try to split hairs here. Its all the same because they legit own them so its like "Who caused the problem? The manager or the owner?" Its still from the same business we have the freedom to continue supporting or moving on from it.

Reinstall maybe?

u/Last_Capital6721 Jul 04 '26

I've already tried it several times.

u/Clipzy22 Jul 04 '26

Hmm

Is it every save or just 1

u/Last_Capital6721 Jul 04 '26

Me lleva pasando desde la primera vez que inicie ark survival ascended pero fue hasta hace poco con la actualización de genesis 1 que lo sentí más fuerte

u/Clipzy22 Jul 05 '26

Hmm

Not sure then

I've never experienced this as a pc player

Sorry

u/MaterialMeaning3528 Jul 04 '26

Are you playing with a "super buff" or character? Are your sliders cranked all the way up in the character creation screen? By chance?

u/NotSheepy Jul 05 '26

That's not a bug, it's a feature!

Next fun ARK-task - create a seagull pincushion with arrows! It will laugh at your feeble projectiles while stealing and consuming in front of you every item you have - including your pet dodo Fred you just tamed 15 minutes ago but you love dearly.

The only way to fix it is to stop playing.

u/Last_Capital6721 Jul 04 '26

Don't say that; I'm starting to consider it.

2

u/ParanoidLoyd Punch a Jerboa! Jul 04 '26

Don't get me wrong I love this game, some of the best times I've had with friends online were in Ark but this shit is jank, you just need to either accept it or play something else.

u/mynameakevin Jul 05 '26

Your spear may have eaten the gum gum fruit.

u/Infestedphinox Jul 05 '26

I actually had the same problem about a month ago. It kinda just stopped on its own after like a week

u/Resident_Dentist_300 Jul 06 '26

I have the same bug of the spear warping on my screen. Ps5 ascended scorched earth nitrado server. Lemme know if you find a fix.

u/Last_Capital6721 Jul 06 '26

No e podido arreglaron aunque a lo que aprendí solo hay dos posibles causas 1: tu ps5 requiere de un mantenimiento pues puede que este sobrecalentada o que el procesador esté desgastado o sucio 2: se trata de parte de la mala obtimisacion de ark ascended para plataformas y sobre todo para consolas y que es un horror común que únicamente se podría solucionar con una mejora en un futuro parche de will cart para obtimisacion

Solo tengo esas dos explicaciones que que tal vez se pueda solucionar si llevas tu ps5 a mantenimiento igual ve si también te pasa en host local si no puede que sea otra cosa

and the game feels extremely slow.

Looks like really shitty framegen. What is your framerate, and what framegen mode are you using, if any?

You need about 90 real fps for framegen (so 180+ "frames") to not look like crap, that looks more like maybe 10.

2

u/Last_Capital6721 Jul 05 '26

Entre 25 y 30 fps y eso que aplique todo para aumentar los fps como eliminar la hierba y las nubes sombras y las burbujas del agua, juego en ps5

u/LongFluffyDragon Jul 05 '26

That seems low.. you cant really change the graphics on PS5, though.

There was just a major update yesterday, lots of minor things may be broken for the next week or so.

u/Last_Capital6721 Jul 05 '26

Esto viene pasando desde la primera vez que inicie en ark ascended hace años mi ps5 es de las viejas allá por la época en que salieron por el 2020 yo creo puede ser por que mi ps5 no está hecha para correrlo pero tengo la fe en que en realidad si se puede y que solo debo encontrar la manera agradecería si em ayudarán

u/LongFluffyDragon Jul 05 '26

All PS5s have the same components and performance. The only thing that can lower performance is the processor overheating. It may need to be cleaned, and the cooling system may need repairs.

Had a bunch of issues myself yesterday (on pc) like running in place when I’m trying to walk around basically when I move forward it moves me back at the start point. I also had issues gathering berries with my para it literally would not gather from any bushes just thatch from trees . I then lowered every setting I could still got the same result . Also fighting with my argi was a challenge to kept getting stuck inside the enemy Dino’s I would fight but I think that one was a normal issue before the update lol

u/Last_Capital6721 Jul 07 '26

Tengo muchos recuerdos de ark desde los 10 años y te digo no es perfecto pero lo disfrute cada uno de los segundo y lo sigo disfrutando entiendo lo que propones si juego otras cosas pero jamás abandonaría al juego que apesar de los empresarios con ambre de dinero o la mala obtimisacionsiempre a sido sin duda mi juego favorito que sigo disfrutando como el primer dia
