1/18/2021: ARK Dev Kit v321.1 is now available on the Epic Launcher

[Autonomic916]

The devs are busy trying to optimize ARK for it's full release in August. I probably wouldn't expect an updated dev kit till then at this point.

July 12 is the projected date for the Dev Kit update

EDIT: Might be pushed back to July 19th

just FYI, be prepared to compile 60,000 shaders with devkit 264.0

I just updated my dev kit to the latest provided here, and trying to compile my mod crashes the compiler about 5 minutes in.
It does not reference anything specific, just a bunch of memory I think.

yeah its compiling shaders during cook and running you out of memory.

I havent had this problem before, and I dont see any shaders compiling. Do I keep trying to compile it or is there something else I need to do.
Edit: have a picture of the crash.

I am having a similar issue. it appears core files have been removed and replaced thus breaking already existing MODs referencing older assets. This needs to be addressed before its pushed to stable.

Here are some to name a few:
ARK-DifficultyColor

[MENTION=230916]Skornedemon[/MENTION], [MENTION=79303]M1k3_C[/MENTION] can you share your log files from cooking?
Usually found in "Epic Games\ARKDevKit\Projects\ShooterGame\Saved\Logs" and names "ShooterGame_2.log".

Additionally it would be great to know if you installed the github build, the launcher build, or both!

I tried both github and launcher. Keep in mind my MOD has been around since July 2015, and i have never had this sort of issue prior. Any assistance would be great.

launcher build, then the newest update over it.

I put all the logs of all my attempts that day just in case.

I had a chance to review the logs a bit, then i reinstalled the Devkit and got the same results. so i decided to just cook a barebones mod such as the Arena that comes standard and the exact same error happens... Ill update this if i can get to the source of why this is happening unless someone from WC can chime in, but that would be unlikely.

Skorn and anyone else having this issue, follow the below steps:
1. Verify your build through the launcher
2. Open the ADK and navigate to Game/Maps/TheIslandSubMaps/TheIsland
3. Open that Umap and allow however long it takes for compiling
4. Once compiled, click the "play" button to load into the map TheIsland and wait (about 4-6hrs for 60K shaders to compile)
5. SUCCESS, you will be able to cook your mods once more without fatal errors.

NOTE: This compiling process only takes place once per ADK build version

I wanna hug you for posting this! Thanks alot

Howdy,

Not sure if everybody is getting this, but after installing V268.3 from Google, my ADK crashes when selecting the Event Graphs of custom DinoBPs. Opens as normal if opening a Vanilla Dino, but crashed on 3 custom Dinos tested.

Problem persists even after verifying from the Launcher and then extracting the .zip again.

Any ideas?

I've got the same issue, seems the class viewer is not set up correctly?

[edit] Figured it out: temporarily disabling your virus scanner when you extract the Dev Kit diff with winzip, 7zip etc makes all the difference. It seems the virus scanner heuristics flag a problem (false positive of course) when extracting...

Legend! How did you even discover this fixes the issue? lol
