Open Daily Rankings from the Daily Trial briefing or a finished Daily's results to compare scores on the Friends and Global tabs.
Steam leaderboards start off. Choose Join Steam Leaderboards to post eligible scores with your Steam account name and avatar. You can browse without joining. Leaving stops future scores from posting but keeps scores already on Steam.
A Daily can rank when you begin and finish it in one game session, on the same UTC day, with Steam online when it begins and ends. Results now explain whether your score posted, is still posting, or stayed local.
Steam keeps your best score of the day. Scores use final population in thousands of souls, rounded down, and equal scores tie. Research Lab upgrades apply, so scores reflect progression as well as play.
Added
With Stacking Cards researched, Activate now stacks a selected card onto an identical card when using a controller, including cards picked up from the board. If stacking is refused, the card stays selected.
Changed
Run results now tie Salvage milestones to thawed souls and explain whether the Salvage research is missing or starts with your next run. The thawed count rounds down so it cannot appear to pass an unearned milestone.
Fixed
Fixed Steam lifetime statistics counting the same progress twice when a shared Cloud save loads on multiple computers.
Fixed Steam statistics counting an older profile restored by a Cloud conflict as new progress.
Best Difficulty now keeps your highest reported difficulty instead of adding records together after New Ark, a reset, or a restored save. Previously inflated Steam values are not reduced.
Full stack refusal warnings now draw red brackets and a cross above the dragged card, where the card cannot hide them.
Ark Codex controls now explain that dropping anywhere on an identical card stacks it once Stacking Cards is researched. Controller instructions no longer promise swaps and explain how Cancel clears a selection before picking up a different card.
The Show connections label no longer clips in compact layouts on macOS, and the button keeps the same width when switching between Show connections and Hide connections.
On macOS, the startup splash no longer restarts its minimum display time when a covered window becomes visible.
The game no longer opens an error dialog when the terminal used to launch it closes.
Card and upgrade names in the Research Lab now sit inside their name bands instead of slipping onto the bottom edge.
