With the successful update to Unreal Engine 5.5, our ARK: Survival Ascended Cluster bukanier.org is fully operational again. The following maps are currently available:
The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and the rotation map Astraeos.
Mod Status
Most mods have already been updated and are active again. Currently not (or not yet) available are:
- Structure Management Tools, Breeding Stopper, and Better Horde Modes (only Extinction) – these mods still need an update or are currently being tested.
If there are any error messages with mods, it is best to uninstall the mods and then reinstall them. We have not noticed any problems on PC Steam, but we are hearing about massive issues on XBOX & Co.
Cluster Travel – Warning
WARNING: Traveling in the cluster is currently not reliable. There is a known bug where the client crashes during map transitions. In many cases, you can restore your character via an obelisk on the target map, but we strongly recommend refraining from cross-travel until a fix is released.
Additionally, some players (including myself) had to manually deactivate and reactivate all DLCs to be able to access maps like Aberration again. Check this if you are having login issues.
Known Visual Bugs
When respawning in your base, it may happen that trees or rocks appear to have "regrown," even though they were blocked by structures. Don't worry – this is purely a visual bug. Once you move out of the render range briefly and return, these objects will disappear as usual.
New Content
New in the game is, among other things, the Egg Incubator as a placeable structure. Various new building components have also been added. You can find a complete list on the website in the corresponding update post.
