ARK: Survival Evolved Forum

Would like to start off by saying, I love the game so far BUT you have a serious issue with the Xbox version (unless I'm doing it wrong).

I purchased the game last night and played until 4am. I had a few friends trying to log on to the server that me and a buddy were on but couldn't find it so they ended up going their own way. No biggie for now because we are all just learning the game. I gave the the exact server name and it wouldn't show up on their list when they searched for it. I didn't think much of it at the time because we were having a blast playing. Well, I eventually went to sleep and just logged back on to play some more... Well, there is NO WAY to get back to the server I was on! I do an exact server name search and nothing. I do a general server search and nothing. The bookmark feature doesn't work. And there is no way to just quick launch a previous game.

Please help me find my server. In such a hardcore survival game you need a feature (that works) to get back to your character.

Any tips?

I had the same issue trying to find my friends game. I wonder how wide spread this is on xbox one? If it was happening to everyone, you would think we would have heard more about it.

I've found many threads on it already. Give it time, most people started playing last night then went to bed, went to work and will come home tonight to try and level up their characters and upgraded their houses only to find out there isn't an easy way to get back to there guy.

I finally got back to my server from last night. It took 20min of refreshing the server list. From what I've noticed servers don't appear on the list when they are full AND when they are empty and there are still X amount of openings on other servers. Combine that with a maxium 70 players per sever playing at one time but 2000 characters are allowed to be made per server (from what I've read)... going to be fun. Hopefully they will be able to implement a queue system or fix the bookmark issue.

I get it, it's early access, but not being able to get to you character you've made and spent a lot of time on will get very frustrating. I'm OK with the 70 per server, just show me my server and the 70/70

I have had the same frustrating issue I played until 3:30 in the morning on NA-OFFICIAL 58 and now is nowhere. Server 115 is an extremely common server but when it does start to load it comes back with "can't find adress". I love the game and ill create as many characters as I have to to continue playing. But I think they need to have a full list of all servers and fix the bookmark feature pronto. I also think they should add a bookmark feature when in game. Because before I log off for the evening I can quickly save the server to my own personal archives. Tonight it also seems that refreshing only brings up 3-5 servers at a time. Has anybody tried the player dedicated servers? They only allow 50 max. But they seem consistent even after refresh and I'm seriously considering joining one of those for the time being until they fix some of this stuff.

join my server its always up shephard141
