We would like to thank the community for continuing to help us make improvements to ARK: Aquatica by reporting issues that have appeared after release.
For the sake of identifying issues, please provide as much information as possible on your report for visibility and accurate reporting (ie: version number, platform and all applicable logs or information).
We are happy to announce that the ‘preaquatica’ game branch will remain a permanently available branch for all users on ARK: Survival Evolved.
