FAQ
Do you have a Question?
Post it here and I want add it in the List^^


The game freezes (black screen) while loading the map
The game freezes, because there are a lot of things to do...
Just wait some minutes and I´m sure it want work for you too^^

There are a lot of things to load on first map start (after updates too), but after the first start, it should be much faster than on first start.

If you want play on a server, the server loads in all the things and you don´t need to wait this long time (only till the server is ready)

I would say, 16gb ram are the minimum for this map to start on first map load in 2-3min, if you have only 8gb ram, it can need 10-20min and more^^
But all other map loads are really faster (till the next update comes)


Why is it now 100% finished with only 1 Landscape?
Because some people are idiots who can´t play on a map who has not 100% finished, although it´s complete and fully playable...

The Truth is, Landscape 1 of 4 is completely finished, there want be for now no changes on the landscape, only the ozean-area near the other landscapes can be changed from time to time^^

How much updates do you want to bring?
I can you say, there are not as much updates like for ark, I´m testing the map on a test-map (only visible for steam friends), but sometimes I can find any bugs after release of the updates ... if I think, the bugs are bigger problems, I want fix them as soon as possible, but most bugfixes are only come in next bigger update.

I would say, there are on first day after a bigger update, about 2-3 bugfixes and after a few weeks (maybe months), the next update comes^^


Where are the Obelisks?
You can find everywhere Obelisks, but not in this map.
The stations to donload/upload your Dinos are in the map (take a look into the pictures)

Where can I download my Dinos or Character?
Look in this Pictures:
Picture 1
Picture 2
There want come later a few more^^

Why I can´t see all of the map in the minimap?
You can only see the first Landscape on the minimap, after the other 3 got finished, I want add them too, because if I would show you now the complete map on the minimap, there would be a lot of empty area...

Is this Map compatible with Mods like Annunaki, Bush People, etc?
Yes, it´s compatible, but for now you need this Extension to spawn the official Dinos.

I want use the Extension for official Spawns in Singleplayer, how can I do this?
Add the Extension as a mod, like any other mods too^^

I want more/less Dinos on my Server
Add this to your GameUserSettings.ini:
[ServerSettings] DinoCountMultiplier=1.00000
1.00000 is the normal amount of Dinos
2.00000 is the doubled amount
0.50000 is the half amount

I found a Bug
Look here and post it
