Good Evening community,
We continue our efforts to provide updates as we address issues for both ARK: Aquatica and ARK: Survival Evolved. Studio Sirens remains dedicated to providing updates daily as issues are being logged or addressed. We are maintaining visibility regarding bugs reported into the #「📩」support channel on the Official ARK: Aquatica Discord.
In continued support of transparency, continued showcase of progress as well as Aquatica DLC specific content, Studio Sirens developer, Z_Swell will continue to stream live throughout the week!
The plan for these streams is to review the updates from the latest efforts, preview upcoming fixes, and answer player/community questions.
Current plan is to have live streams every day this week, Tuesday until Friday, (07/22 - 07/25)
Stream timing will also remain the same at 2PM PST

Yesterday (7/22), we released an update that included a fix for loading mods that will continue to be developed. Another solution will be coming soon. While we have specifically tested certain mods, we are going through a list provided by the community. We have had relatively few mods failing to load, more information on this specific issue coming soon.
