The major XDK update v751 caused issues for ARK Survival Evolved on Xbox One. A hotfix is expected today. Studio Wildcard is still waiting for Microsoft’s certification.
The last patch v751 of Ark Survival Evolved was massive on Xbox One. The update was a hefty 20 GB and caused problems immediately after installation. The update was so large, because Studio Wildcard upgraded the Xbox version with an Xbox Development Kit (XDK).
Ark Xbox One v751: XDK Update Causes Issues
Since patch v751 was installed on Xbox, players have been complaining about various issues. Studio Wildcard has already announced a hotfix patch and submitted it to Microsoft for the certification process. Each patch undergoes thorough review and must pass a certification process.
Studio Wildcard is now waiting for the “Okay” from Microsoft to install the hotfix for Ark on Xbox. They hope the patch will be installed later today in US time. Due to our 6-hour delay to the US East Coast, the patch would arrive at the earliest tonight. Provided the patch makes it through certification today.
These Issues Should Be Fixed by the Hotfix on Xbox
These issues are known to Studio Wildcard and are expected to be resolved by the hotfix:
- Controllers are shutting down (shut down kills application).
- Dedicated and Non-Dedicated servers are only shown individually.
- Servers are not listed in the “Cluster Session List” under the “Travel to another ARK” option.
- Inviting or joining a password-protected Dedicated server does not work.
- It is not possible to invite someone to an ongoing game or join it on official servers.
Now it’s a waiting game for Studio Wildcard and Xbox players. The hotfix may possibly get through the review today. Then everything should run better again by tomorrow.
The XDK update v751 brought new dinos and Tek structures to Ark Survival Evolved for Xbox players. You can find the complete patch notes here:
