Dino Dossier
A new Dino Dossier has been revealed, this one is everyone’s favourite life-draining leech, the Haementeria!
BattlEye
We are excited to announce that we have taken our stance against cheaters and hackers one step further by enabling BattlEye Anti-Cheat system on the ARK as a defense tool against cheaters!
BattlEye will be run on all Official Servers, and the new executable to properly play on Official Servers is ShooterGame\Binaries\ShooterGame_BE.exe, which we’ve updated the Steam Launch options to include. If you choose to launch ShooterGame.exe directly, you will be redirected to ShooterGame_BE.exe if you connect to any Official Server running BattlEye.
If you wish to run your Unofficial Server with BattlEye, you can do so with the following launch option:
-BattlEye
For the time being this will only function with Windows Servers. Something to note is that BattlEye is currently not ready for Mac or Linux, so we have temporarily disabled the capability of Mac/Linux clients to connect to BattlEye Servers. We hope to have this resolved within the coming few days! Thank you for your patience Survivors <3.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for the use of 3rd party programs in ARK: Survival Evolved and will continue to work on Anti-Cheat measures to put a stop to cheating and catch those attempting to gain an unfair advantage over other survivors ;).
All the best,
Wildcard Jat & The ARK Survival Evolved Team
