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

Be sure to have used both the content diff and the binaries from GitHub when updating manually.

What exactly do you mean by “the content diff”?

@Kraig Larner;580550

What exactly do you mean by “the content diff”?

You need to download two files for updating the the devkit manually: the github repo(binaries) and the content diff zip(content) from google drive linked in the initial post. Extract both over your devkit install(make sure the paths match so it overwrites the existing files).

[Kr4ggle]

Thanks guys, I usually just go to github, didn’t come to this page until I wanted to see why it wouldn’t work and missed that!

[RG_Puma]

Github does not work for me, although I am registered.
Or you have to unlock somewhere?

Read the last page. I already explained it.

I’m currently verifying and I bet it will get a problem since the updated files are not on the epic launcher yet. Maybe it’s better for me to get back to that epic launcher version.

When I want to play in the dev kit, it crashes. What I did was just what I needed to do, place the files of github and google drive in the map where they belong.
Some files were the same and I replaced them with the new ones.
I’m currently verifying and I bet it will get a problem since the updated files are not on the epic launcher yet. Maybe it’s better for me to get back to that epic launcher version.

Can anyone help me out with this problem?

This is the message I get:
Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000002

I got it fixed or at least I can go in Play mode again. I got it reset to the Epic Games Launcher version, so now I don’t have it updated with the latest Dev Kit stuff.
Would be nice if anyone know what went wrong

[K9Cubed]

Don’t know what wild card did, but my mod overrode the default mortar and pestle, now it is not working at all with this last update lol…Modding for this game is becoming such a chore lol.

[Sicco0803]

@ is there any news about the 245.x map shader cooking problem?

[spezz]

Mods will now also automatically cook any NEW assets which they reference, regardless of whether the assets are located in the Mod directory. Note that this only works assets that you ADD to the SotF Dev Kit, not any assets which are already there by default.

this thing is making mods huge! i have a admin box just with a crafting BP of a dodrex and OMG!!! if cooked every single file for the dodorex which if i have other custom BPs in my mod will increase the mod by a **** ton! anyone else seeing increase mod sizes if u cook with this new devkit!

[anonymous_user_d7edb169]

ok i have update automaticly checked for arkdevkit in my epic games browser why hasnt this already updated itself to 245.9 ? kinda defeats the purpose of having an auto update function for ark devkit in the launcher if it NEVER launches or makes us wait massive amounts of time before it does finally update.

[anonymous_user_6ebbf823]

Firstly, I’m a newbie and I’m just installing the dev kit from the Epic launcher. Do I still need to download the GitHUB and content diff over the Epic installation?

Only if you want the newest copy of the DevKit. You can still build mods and upload them to steam with the copy that you downloaded from the Epic Launcher. =) Have fun! Come hang out with us on the Discord chat, too. Links in one of the other stickies!

[anonymous_user_2b9dc110]

Update 246 broke the Trace function. Calling the trace function causes crashes for cooked mods. This does not happen in the editor, but it does happen to ALL mods we checked.
This includes ACM and APS.

Please do have a look at it for us!

[RolandDEden]

Also the next update will have Scorched Earth content?

[anonymous_user_2b9dc110]

Hello,
I found what can only be a bug in “BPRemoteInventoryAllowRemoveItems”.
Preventing an item from being removed works, however while a player cannot drag it out he can still drop it using the hotkey or button.
This seems to defeat the purpose of the function altogether as it can be circumvented entirely this way.

Regarding inventory functions it would also be nice if the “Notify” functions would also provide a reference to the manipulating player, which could optionally be null if the manipulation was done via graph. It would make modding storages easier and would require less additional checks and would not force us to prevent multiple accesses at the same time.

Thank you!

[Sicco0803]

Is there any know ETS for the new working dev kit? I mean we are now 3 versions behind, the last really working version is 244.x.

[spezz]

actually 245.9 is on github which anyone can download and install it and they said they were gonna release it after this latest patch but as we already know WC is bad with keeping time frames we just have to wait

[anonymous_user_1af8f2a8]

OKAY GUYS REMEMBER ME??? I was all over page 10 about getting the 404 Error when I click the Github links. No one knew what my problem was, but its been fixed. How??? Github sent me an email welcoming me to Github and asking that I verify my account…SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER I SIGNED UP…after giving up on my mod and this game entirely, I was able to binge through One Punch Man, Inuyasha and Gundam Wing series as well as beat Darkest Dungeon and Dark Souls 3…I also took a Rubik’s cube crash course and now I went from being totally clueless, to being able to solve the cube in about 5 minutes…after doing all these things, I get an email saying “Welcome to Github! Please verify your account!” and I’m thinking “what the hell is Github?” because I nearly forgot what it was!!!

I clicked it and now EVERYTHING WORKS. I was able to download the newest version from WC’s Github page!!! WOOHOOOO!!! Too bad I don’t give a **** at this point.

So if you are getting the 404 Error and you have done everything you can, maybe you just need to wait a few more months for the verification email. Blame Github and blame Wildcard for choosing Github instead of simply using Steam or Epic Games Launcher.

My advice to you guys is to do something in life. Don’t wait around for a **** game to release a **** dev kit so you can make an amazing mod for a **** game. Look at my epic list of amazing accomplishments…this is what people do while people like us cry on the forums for bug fixes to our favorite video games. I’ll be waiting for you guys on the other side.
