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

Sign into github. Make sure your account is linked. Just downloaded it myself. so…

You have to sign into your epic games account and add your got hub name to your account info. Then go to the epic games github account and there should be an invitation at the top of the page. Once you accept that retry the link.

I updated the Launcher and it shows ARK Dev Kit v235.8, however I noticed there is no Raptor Clause or DinoArena in the mods folder, should they be in there?

You have to download the raptor clause files. Link is in first post. Not sure about dinoarena, it is still in my devkit.

Thanks so much , my bad I did not see it there in the post. I really need to stop working on this at 2am. Last night I tried to install the fixed binaries from github and broke the Dev Kit, I un-installed, currently re-installing and being in regional QLD, , is going to take 2 days to download tears form in my eyes!

So what is the best way to install the github files, I downloaded the zip, then extracted inside my downloads folder, then dragged the folders over into the Dev Kit. The projects folder was confusing to me because there were 2 folder layers with the same names, so I must have dragged dropped into the wrong one.

Can I extract the downloaded GitHub files inside of the folder “ARKDevKit”?

Thank you to “”! all fixed and installed now.

How do you extract the files from GitHub and Drive, so the Dev Kit works again? This is the first time I am working with GitHub, so can someone explain me?

Are you able to see the dev kit branch in github. If so there’s a button on the right that says “Download ZIP”. Click that, and it will download all the content. From there, you extract that on top of your dev kit.

Opening v236.2…

Same here.

Maybe I’m an idiot but the GitHub link isn’t working? Comes up as a Page 404 Error.

Thanks, but in which folder do you need to extract the ZIP, in the ArkDevKit folder or Epic Games folder?

You need to be logged into GitHub and added to the EpicGames organisation.

Thank you!

All, I’ve updated the link with a correct shaders folder!

I need help to update ark dev kit, i don’t know how to do it.
I have downloaded the file in GitHub but I dont know where i have to paste it.

The Ark Dev Kit auto updated today via the Launcher, do I still need to do a manual update with the Github files and content files?

No, I never do the github content because it is more of a hot fix release method. I generally wait for the epic launcher update to catch up before updating to save myself the trouble of using github

You shouldn’t need to manually update as the Launcher has the auto update ready to go.
