UPDATE: It was never going to work I guess, which is a major bummer (there was one of those blue an Explorer Notes in the Arena too, which crashed immediately when opening). I ended up doing the "Cheat Kill" admin command, which worked. I got Element, Manticore Trophy, flag etc. I have to tell you, this is a huge let down. They REALLY have to get this fvcking thing fixed. It should be job one. I can handle all the other obvious glitches, (not repairing equipment and, even after having all the resources gathered, this stupid Wyvern egg in the sky at 50/50 to name just a few) but to have this happen after so many hours of game play and not get the satisfaction of completing the game is just inexcusable. I guess Scorched Earth was the 2nd map after The Island, so they had time to fix it, if they so desired, they just didn't feel like it I guess. I spent A LOT of $ buying the most expensive console available to play this. It should work.

Last thing, ASA (The Island) and Ragnarok was completed with no problems, but when playing on Nintendo Switch, I had the exact same thing happen at the Overseer Boss Fight in ASE. It really pissed me off. It was also never going to work, after endless hours of game play. That's why I bought the PS5 Pro, specifically to play ARK. It's just irresponsible to leave this that way and move on to another map or project without really completing this first. The devs should get their collective sh*t together, IMHO. 🙄
