lol it hasnt been a day yet, let em get to work today … i suppose you guys are from europe or something?
ARK Dev Kit v200.5 (Fixed Sotf!!): 'Survival of the Fittest' download, Total Conversions, Mods, Maps
australia woke up reinstalled the game at 7am, 190g downloads over 2 days later some ppl can some ppl cant figured it would be easy considering some ppl can workaround with the 28g download i cant get and now its 12am the next day thought i might be able to set a download to go while i was alseep 
ontop of that ark has been updated more and i dont hear anyone saying we got one so was just hoping they caught up cause its causing alot of problems atm not only with us but with hosts and players but meh they will get there i guess (and with competitions at hand it is kinda unfair on ppl there already taking our ideas and not even putting in the things they were ment to work on)
In most cases I could see it being “yadda yadda whatever let them take their time” but when they release a contest with a deadline, and total conversion is absolutely necessary for said mod, then they kinda need to step it up a notch. I mean that in the most respectful way possible 
For your information, the files mentionned here :
Are missing from the SotF content download Could you please upload the correct vesion when you have time ?
Thanks !
I noticed that too, i was like… did i not place the SOTF in the devkit…
oh yeah, i totally agree… it sucks
yeah… for a total conversion, this sucks…
Atleast you can join the Competion still cant get over this BS Australia is not Eligible. 
Reapers, that really sucks. I made sure to read the rules thoroughly, and was ecstatic to see that Canada (excluding Quebec of course) was included.
TBH i am more shocked then anything still gonna continue using the dev kit make mods ect just really didnt think Aus would be thought of as still an isolated 2nd world country haha.
guess they dont work on a Wednesday …
Australia is a legal nightmare. You have some of the strictest laws in the world. But yeah seriously what’s up with this? A response from the devs would be nice even just a “we know it’s a problem, give us a min” would be appreciated. I really don’t see how it’s such a huge issue to update the dev kit, if it’s not updated by time I get home I’m just going to have to setup a repo to connect to their github, which I’d rather not
I open epic games and verify ark and my dev kit still reads v197.1 in the top right
Am I missing a step. Do I still need a gethub account?
As I understand it at the moment you cannot get v200 with the epic games launcher, and if you verify with v200 binaries, it will overwrite them with v197. It seems what most people are doing (and what I’ll be doing tonight) is downloading the binaries from their github and moving them over manually. Keep a copy of the binaries separate so you don’t accidentally verify/overwrite them.
lol oops nvm
You do not need the unreal engine source. In fact you can’t use it with Ark.
You want this github:
yeah idk some other dude told me i needed to fork the unrealengine source in order to see that page… i forked UE (i needed to) and now im dling that … (lol i didnt realize i had a different email entered in github)
That’s very possible. I forked UE a long time ago, and it just worked for me. It also would make sense since it itself is a fork of UE.
correct me I’m wrong, I put the v200 content into the epic launcher, but it seems they’ve updated to v201. is this the reason I can’t put a mod on my dedicated server?
Unfortunately, yes. We need the updated dll’s. It’s a big cat and mouse game that they need to streamline, badly.
****! Can you please keep your 1st post updated and with the correct info.
Or start to remove some of the posts in this threat thats totaly irrelevant. it sucks having to dig though lots of BS posts to find some clues on how to get the new bins working.
1st.
Not true at all.
The Dev Kit version is still 197.1. Dosent matter if you verify or not.
More so. If you install the new bins manualy. it will rollback to 197.1 if you do a verify after the manual install
2nd.
You removed the github link to the 200 bins.
As long as the epic launcher is overwiring the 200 bins. please have the link there and Warn people about this issue in your 1st post.
3rd.
I think there is some bug with the launcher. it keeps backing up files for no reasons.
Example of whats happening. i do a verify. “with 197.1” . it will backup the files.
\ARKDevKit[SomeTime]\Engine\Saved\Config\Windows\EditorGameAgnostic.ini
\ARKDevKit[SomeTime]\Projects\ShooterGame\DerivedDataCache\Boot.ddc
\ARKDevKit[SomeTime]\Projects\ShooterGame\Intermediate\CachedAssetRegistry.bin
\ARKDevKit[SomeTime]\Projects\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows\EditorUserSettings.ini
\ARKDevKit[SomeTime]\Projects\ShooterGame\Saved\Logs\ShooterGame.log
Now without opening the dev kit, i do a verify again. The same files get backup again.
This makes no sense. Why backup files that hasent been changed ?
On a side note.
Im glad that your moving away from steam with the development kit. but you could have made the transition between steam and epic a bit more smooth.
