Good Evening,
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 look to continue streaming live this 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

Our top priority remains to fix an issue with the game engine on the live version of ARK: Survival Evolved (360.1) ; proving to be complex, a solution continues to be developed in order to address mods from instantly crashing and we look forward to posting an update when possible.
Earlier today, we released an update that included a fix that will continue to be tested as well as working mods confirmed by the community. While we have specifically tested certain mods, we are going through a list provided by the community. There are other mods that work beyond the list that will be included in this post and we have had relatively few mods failing to load, more information on this to come soon.
The issue specifically with materials failing to load in relation to mods have been fixed.
The “preaquatica” beta branch is still live and will remain available until further notice.
What follows is a list of mods that we have been able to specifically test, we will continue to test more and more mods that have been reported via the community broken mods sheet listed here: Broken Mods
