Good afternoon,

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[url="https://discord.gg/j94kU6Dn6Q"] Official ARK: Aquatica Discord[/url].[/p][p] [/p][p]In continued support of transparency, continued showcase of progress as well as Aquatica DLC specific content, Studio Sirens developer, Z_Swell will continue to stream live throughout the week![/p][p]

On Tuesday (7/22), we released an update that included a fix for loading mods that will continue to be developed. Another solution will be coming soon. While we have specifically tested certain mods, we are going through a list provided by the community.

While the specific game engine issue is being addressed and is progressing, we would also like to iterate that FPS optimization and server cluster transfer work will be elevated to a higher priority on our pipeline. We will continue to provide updates on these issues as they are developed.

[p][/p]

Currently, we are dealing with a few complex issues regarding fixes that are going into the next update, we hope to have an update soon.

[p] [/p][p]In the meantime, the ‘preaquatica’ branch will remain available.[/p][p]
