New ASA Server (bukanier.org) - Preliminary Information

A new cluster "bukanier.org" for ARK Survival Ascended is in preparation. It will be a rather small cluster with The Island as the home map (PVE for now, as no Safebase Shield is available) and the PVP maps Scorched Earth, Aberration, and Extinction. Additionally, DLC maps like Center and other future maps will be available in a daily rotation. 

To what extent a second future map (e.g., Ragnarok, Valguero) will be defined as a home map alongside The Island will need to be looked at at the respective time.

Eliminate graphic errors in ARK Survival Ascended.

For frequent graphic errors such as flickering in the inventory, on water surfaces, or in the sky (with the clouds), targeted adjustments in the Engine.ini can resolve these issues, which can also be used with activated DLSS on my NVIDIA RTX4070.

Welcome to ARK Survival Ascended

Now, in the year 2025, I see things from a slightly different perspective. The primary reason for the switch was the release of the map Extinction along with the DLC Wasteland War. This made my key maps from The Island to Extinction available. Sure, I still really miss the DLC maps like Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, and Fjordur. And what about Genesis 1 and Genesis 2?

Ark aufs Maul ASA

The online gaming project "ARK aufs Maul", presented by the well-known YouTubers Gato and Kay, launches its second season titled "Ark aufs Maul ASA".

In this exciting season, each player has exactly seven lives. Once these lives are used up, the participant is eliminated from the competition. The primary goal of the players is to minimize the life counters of their opponents while preserving their own lives. A central aspect of this is to avoid dying in PVE (Player versus Environment), as this is considered embarrassing and humiliating within the community.
