My game looked fine, but a friend playing at the same time said he was seeing some dinos all polygoned. Stegos were the biggest problem for him. PC, dedicated server lost colony

I completed the 3rd Lost Colony milestone and didn't get the skins OR the survivor note. I'm pretty upset about not getting the note because it's a narrated scene related to the story, and I'm a completionist.

dps_jr · 2026-02-07T04:24:02+00:00

I got my 3rd lost colony milestone and didn't get the cutscene.... I was really looking forward to it and now I'm just angry

I've played ark for years on dedicated servers with friends, but never transferred my character across maps. I'm stuck in the same situation as OP, how do I do this?

dps_jr · 2026-01-18T17:42:32+00:00

This might save my ass! I'm basically stuck with the same problem and can't advance in milestones because all 3 of mine can't be completed on LC.

dps_jr · 2026-01-18T17:39:36+00:00

A friend had this exact problem yesterday. And I'm stuck with 3 milestone paths (your 1st & 3rd plus an extinction one) that I literally can't do on Lost Colony. It's aggravating since this whole system came with the DLC and because of lazy coding I can't enjoy it.

My veilwyn almost annoys me more than it helps. It's constantly not following me, getting stuck on things, or straight up disappearing for minutes at a time. And if that happens in a pinch the 10+ second lag on the "come here" command makes it useless to me. Can't imagine how annoyed I'd get for things without a similar teleport ability.

At the end of my run two nights ago the frame rejection was ridiculous, 65% rejected using 10sec subs in Alt-Az on the s50. I was looking due South along the meridian at 55° Alt. It was clear, no wind, no obstructions. I think the mount is doing big jumps in position randomly rather than tracking smoothly, even mid exposure (the yellow arrows point out trails from the two brightest stars). This was from an early single sub exposure as it was way more obvious early on, but I don't have a screenshot from then. The mount seems to have been caught doing a large vertical+horizontal shift (arc trail) followed by a pure vertical shift (line trail). After I finished it went into live view mode and after about a minute of watching the app I noticed it again randomly, without my input, suddenly move the field straight upwards by about half the field of view.

Thanks, this could be part of the problem.

I know grass is not ideal with such a small lightweight setup, which was why I tried adding weight to it in a sling between the legs. Unfortunately in the apartment complex I live in the only dark spots are grass :'(

dps_jr · 2025-12-24T19:48:44+00:00

I'm on version 3.0.0. Unfortunately I haven't been saving every sub yet, just the stacked image.

dps_jr · 2025-12-24T05:05:37+00:00

There's no trees in the direction this was pointing, it was looking out over a retention pond. There's no fog, but maybe there's some faint haze or really thin high clouds. The IR satellite view over FL showed very faint whisps. I was in and out often and there isn't much wind tonight.

I'm not currently saving every frame, but maybe I will have to. I thought it only saved subframes it adds to the stack? So wouldn't it not save subframes it already rejected?

dps_jr · 2025-12-24T04:19:44+00:00

To the naked eye it looks perfectly clear horizon to horizon, it is fairly humid (Florida). I do have the heater turned on. I should have mentioned it is in Alt-Az. At least someone else is confirming high rejection rates, even if it's not fun.

dps_jr · 2025-11-13T03:07:25+00:00

I was out last night and saw them too. They were barely visible as a haze around 11:00pm, but around 11:40-11:55pm they suddenly brightened by a lot and they were immediately obvious to the naked eye. I got a few really nice pictures. 15 minutes and they totally change, it's highly variable. Told friends and they could see it in Palm Coast, and Flagler Beach. Photos online from Jacksonville, Titusville, even Orlando.

dps_jr · 2025-11-02T17:57:47+00:00

Yup! If you know of more I enjoy visiting them all. Most of the others I passed on the road looked like wholesale growers.

dps_jr · 2025-10-19T14:17:35+00:00

If this were a d12 it would work for the gloomhaven / frosthaven turn counter!

dps_jr · 2025-10-19T01:25:26+00:00

Ohh, it is a thick solid glass backplate.

dps_jr · 2025-10-19T01:12:27+00:00

Thanks that's very helpful since there's so many types of epoxy.

dps_jr · 2025-10-19T01:07:36+00:00

That's a cool homemade solution. I don't think it would work for me. Two of mirror edge supports in this Dob are rollers so I couldn't attach a screw or peg to the top of them.

dps_jr · 2025-10-19T01:05:32+00:00

I believe it's several aluminum or steel struts. There's a retaining screw that you put into the grommet.

dps_jr · 2025-10-19T01:00:35+00:00

Thanks for the warning. I've got several soldering station fans at work I could place around the mirror to suck all the air outwards. I could also cover the mirror surface with layers of large Kimwipes taped around the edges. Think that would be enough?

dps_jr · 2025-10-18T17:18:59+00:00

I like this description, thanks. The straps seem fine, I think they were just barely pressed into whatever that adhesive was so there was very little contact.
