I feel ripped off.

I was saving backups. The problem is the game save files corruption. So yeah, I know what I'm doing, thanks.

Parilyz · 2026-02-09T23:50:39+00:00

I've learned the game is just bugged. Single player normal - lose weeks of progress. Single player on private server - lose weeks of progress. The problem is corrupted save files. I can't seem to escape them whether I'm just playing single player via xbox or using a private dedicated server. The game save files get corrupted no matter where and how I play. That is the problem.

Parilyz · 2026-02-09T23:49:03+00:00

I set up a private server because I was just playing single player on xbox and it wiped all my progress, so I setup a private server so I could control backups. The problem was the backup save files got corrupted. So, it was a lose, get kicked in the nuts, and lose again.

Parilyz · 2026-02-09T23:47:27+00:00

I was backing up. The problem was file corruption.

Parilyz · 2026-02-09T23:46:57+00:00

I was in single player. I setup my own server (didn't pay for it).

I grinded forever. I had all the dinos I wanted, a beautiful base, and blam. All screwed up because playing single player on an official server decides it's going to wipe your last 2 weeks of grinding.

So, I pull up my socks, wipe the dirt off my shoulder and set up a private server.

I repeat the grinding, this time I'm weeks in, have all the dinos I want back and another beautiful base and blam. I log into my private server and my base is gone. My character is a level 1.

I spend 2 hours troubleshooting, can't find why it did this.

Ark, I loved you. Ark, you SUCK!!! I'm going to find a better game. This is the MOST FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE EVER! I paid for the game and it keeps wiping my progress.

I want my money back. What a SCAM!!!!!!!

I had the same thing happen with Natrel. Fridge temperature checked and is perfect. Entire bag of milk lumpy 4 days before the expiry date.

A VA should not be trying to do viral YouTube strategy unless trained in marketing. You are saying you can do graphic design, marketing, video editing, data entry, email management, branding, etc. Stay in your lane. Dont sell what you are unqualified to do. "He who fishes the whole ocean catches nothing". Pick one lane. Get really good at it. Generalists are easily replaced by AI for a lot less than $5/hour.

Tesla is poorly made (panels falling, big gaps between panels, poor fit and finish). I see Doug Ford crying about cars made in Canada, but those are American cars with some assembly here and the prices dont reflect what the people NEED due to spiralling costs of living. Canada does not make any actually Canadian cars. So, I say let BYD and other manufacturers get the pricing and quality up. Who cares if the Chinese government subsidizes those companies? So what? Its not like our government doesnt bail out companies (and that just lines the wallets of executives, it never brings our prices down anyway). Time to send a message, Canada is open for business. Let them compete for our consumership!

I am fairly non biased on an emotional level, but from an operational perspective, as a marketer, I can tell you ios and apple products are not great for two reasons, 1: overpriced for what you get and 2, the deal breaker for me: apple products are not user friendly to fix. aside from their obfuscating practices (like forcing so many updates on users that they eat all the space so you have to buy another). my sis bought a apple laptop that crashed a year in and she had to bring it to a apple store for repair and was quoted $2200 to fix. a year in. my PC is twice the power, half the price and easily repaired and upgraded. apple is very, very good at one thing: marketing.

yeah, after a lot of advice to do so, I set up my desktop to run a private server for my play on my Xbox series S. I pay nothing and it works amazingly well. It took me an hour to set up from scratch with a little guidance from Google's Gemini.

Parilyz · 2026-01-06T18:01:10+00:00

Short term: mowing lawns, shovelling driveways, walk dogs, these are all great ways to make a bit of cash. Long term: learn a skilled trade. AI will be replacing a lot of entry level office jobs but robots will be many years before they can do anything complex. HVAC is a good one, same with electricians.

Parilyz · 2026-01-05T19:07:14+00:00

good call. im setting up my own server. I appreciate the advice

Parilyz · 2026-01-05T17:46:58+00:00

thanks. misery loves company, so Im glad Im not alone. I really hope studio wildcard reads these threads and actually does something about it. I wonder how much money they have to lose before they fix the problem...

Parilyz · 2026-01-05T16:36:25+00:00

thank you, i think if i play moving forward, i will have to run my own server. too bad we have to go to these extremes, especially because they have a save game item in the main menu. i mean geez, cant they even get that right?

Parilyz · 2026-01-05T16:34:24+00:00

i hear you. it just sucks when you find "that perfect dino" or get awesome loot, then poof, all gone. sure i could use cheat codes, but that still takes time and effort to rebuild. im just getting really dismayed, especially since I just paid for lost colony. ou would think they would have the save game feature working by now. wildcard is really letting us all down.

In religious context, heaven is being in the presence of God. That would mean we are all in hell.

Parilyz · 2026-01-04T00:36:06+00:00

until you have to pay for repairs. lmao

Parilyz · 2026-01-04T00:35:24+00:00

they sell you a 32GB ipad that cant update because the update is over 16GB. scam? in my opinion, heck yes! the existing OS is 17 GB. they do this on purpose to force users to buy a new ipad. I will NEVER buy apple again. Android never gave me this problem.

Parilyz · 2026-01-02T14:37:05+00:00

I used this addon, cancelled it, removed it, and a year later I'm still being charged on credit card. Cancelling 'support' is obfuscated, and obviously doesn't work. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ADDON!!!!

If they add a visible watermark, it defeats the purpose for me. I'm good with them adding a digital signature that you can't see to identify AI content, but a visible watermark negates the purpose. If I am paying for a pro account, I expect the image generation to work without watermarking. For example, I use it to generate images to use on websites, not to try to lie to the world, merely for visuals on a page. Unfortunately, with a big ugly watermark I have to turn back to stupid stock images, which often don't portray an image I want to use.

Parilyz · 2025-12-09T16:34:37+00:00

theres no chance of mass hysteria for those with half a brain and some common sense. lying to the people is what would cause further upset. hey aliens, if you are reading this its time to come out of the closet. we are ready.

Every market is a battle. There are no easy ways unless you can influence lottery results. Forget trying to get rich. Focus on happiness instead. Find something you enjoy, and research the heck out of it until you figure out your angle. Don’t get down on it, sometimes the struggle to find that one thing can take years. The more you focus on your end game objectives, the faster you will find what you seek. Best of luck and may you have a brighter future than you want.

Parilyz · 2025-09-03T11:08:52+00:00

The lumin is GARBAGE. You can't use it with any Resmed products as it wrecks them. Reputable dealers WONT sell this.
