Good Morning Everyone,

[p][/p][p]This morning, we are bringing more updates to issues revolving around the Aquatica DLC as well as issues in ARK: Survival Evolved.[/p][p][/p]

As we continue to release solutions, our top priority remains to fix an issue with the game engine on the live version of ARK: Survival Evolved (360.1) ; a fix is in the works to address mods from instantly crashing and we look forward to posting an update when possible.

[p][/p][p]In the meantime, the team was able to push a pre-aquatica release version of A.S.E. This allowed people to return and play a version of the game before the launch of ARK: Aquatica and progress has and will continue to be made to address lingering issues.[/p][p][/p][p]The branch is called "preaquatica".
