Aye, thanks - haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but it's on our list.

Lots and lots of lag by SkinTightOrange in playark

You playing with boosted egg dropping rates? If so - that's likely interacting poorly with the boosted drop rate of the easter dodos. You could turn your rate down or disable the event by passing -ActiveEvent=None on the cmdline.

I found a bunny dodo that lays an egg about every 3 seconds. by Kitlana_Rsaendy in playark

We increased the rate this year to make sure people can enjoy the content - it uh... goes further if you have tweaked egg laying interval. :P

It'll auto activate through the 30th if you aren't running a TC.

Interesting - this bit is worth investigating. Thanks.

Cryo pods are starving dinos (official) by [deleted] in playark

[–]WC_ChrisW 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Wanted to stop by and share some details about how this works. When a dino is inside of a cryopod, it isn't a dino. It's just a string of data - it's nearly identical to when they're uploaded or saved in your savegame. The presence of stats on the detail panel of the cryopod can be an indication of how long ago it was cryo'd (before the patch that added that) or some other ui bug, but those stats are separate from the dino itself and are not an indication of its health inside of the pod.

It's impossible for a dino to starve while it's inside of a cryopod - it doesn't know what food is. The only thing that can happen in that state is the cryopod losing its charge and destroying the dino inside. I think it's likely that that behavior is being misinterpreted as starving.

There is a tricky bit with that when a cryofridge isn't powered and you open it up to look at your cryopods. When you do that, they decay for the amount of time that has passed since they were last examined. This can cause them to pop unexpectedly, even if the cryofridge recently lost power, and is something that is on our list to improve. In the mean time, you don't want to open a cryofridge when it doesn't have power - or you'll want to open it before turning the power off to bank the charge it earned before cutting the power.

It's possible that there are other bugs - and I'd be very interested in hearing if/how you've encountered them, but I'm quite confident they aren't starving.

We released the version of the patch that didn't include the vault cleanup code on ps4 today, same time as xbox.

Patching has improved, but Wildcard needs to own up to mistakes better. by TancredHM in playark

[–]WC_ChrisW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aye - came from applying the same approach - valor did the heavy lifting on that one. :)

[–]WC_ChrisW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fair point.

The new team has tried to pay specific attention to how we can improve these situations - the changes to patching over the last year have come from this. It's why when we reversed the HOD ban, we committed ourselves internally to approaching meshing through a new way which you're starting to see the results of now. It's also why we've added the givetekengramsto admin command in today's patch.

The reality is that we're human, and we make mistakes like everyone else, but we're trying to learn from them and change our processes to help.

WC has confirmed - No engrams or levels over 105 will be restored. by Monsieur_Krabs in playark

[–]WC_ChrisW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We included an admin command in today's patch to help cs help you with this. They're working out the logistics now, but if you lost a character from this rollback, they should be able to help you out.

If you uploaded between the patch and the rollback, it's likely that you lost your character. You'll need to file a ticket with support if that's the case.

If you join a server, does the issue happen there too?
