Good Afternoon,

Studio Sirens remains dedicated to providing updates as issues are being logged or addressed. We are primarily utilizing the #「❗」bug-reports」channel on the Official ARK: Aquatica Discord. For the sake of identifying issues, please provide as much information as possible on your report for visibility and accurate reporting (ie: version number, platform and all applicable logs or information).

Current top priority issues:

• Updated Dev Kit

• FPS and Level Optimization

• Server Issues

• Core Functionality

In the meantime, the ‘preaquatica’ branch will remain available.

Patch notes (v360.14)

General Notes:

• Added server setting to control the ability to place Floating Foundations in air

  • In GameUserSettings.ini, under the ServerSettings section: PreventFloatingFoundationsInAir=True

  • The Floating Foundations setting is enabled by default, the command line above would disable this setting.

• Fixed Floating Foundations being placeable too high above the ground when not underwater

• Fixed not being able to place Cannons on non-Aquatica maps

• Border walls no longer causing random deaths

• Fixed various foliage and mesh hole issues

• Continued FPS optimization

Dinos/Tames Fixes:

• Fixed being able to place structures on Ocepechelon saddles

• Fixed water dinos not being able to target Cymathoa

• Fixed Abyssal dinos losing their Underwater Walking ability on game restarts

• Dinos who were not intended to be able to equip infected barnacles by design are now unable to equip them.
  

This update will require a minor server downtime of 1 hour to official ARK: Aquatica servers. Servers with the highest population will be prioritized.
