I and what seems to be many others have run into the issue where the game will not load after you've downloaded it from the Epic Game Launcher.

The game apparently needs to be ran through ubisoft's launcher. Luckily, it appears that everything's been downloaded all you have to do is run the game manually to prompt the ubi launcher to install small download relative to the game itself.

After step 4 when I log in the uplay app then asks me for an activation code? Any help for that issue? I'm having some trouble with this.

Mind sharing the steps to do so? I am also seeing an activation code? Make sure your default browser is google, this worked for some people. The linking should be prompted the first time you try to download the game via epic.

Thank you! Somehow uninstalling and reinstalling helped. When I reinstalled uplay installed some additional drivers.

Its working for me through the epic launcher now. The same error happened to me but I copied the link and pasted it onto a different browser from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome and then it worked for me.

I think it only works on google chrome ig. Make sure you're logged in to both Ubisoft on your default browser and Epic games launcher.

So basically i installed WD and etc and when i tried launching it , it said i needed an ubisoft acount, i created it and linked it.

Now, when i try to open the game, it opens Uplay and even if im logged into the account already, it logs me out and forces me to log again, then originating the "An Epic Games Service is unavailable, try again later".

Yes, i tried running uplay by itself but when i start the game through EG Launcher it Logs me out of the uplay to then again login and give m e the "An Epic Games service is unavailable, try again later".

So, i try that solution before reading this, and i choose the ubisoft installation path 1 folder above my epic games folder Ok, I undertood where i made the mistake, but there is no way to cancelling the download of the game and do this all over again?

I'm trying here, but when I launch the game from the. Fixed, I thing. Ubisoft launcer have a button that says discover installed game, something like that.

You click there and choose the folder where the game is installed under epic games and it works. If it starts redownloading you may not have renamed the folder to exactly what it's looking for i.

What happens when you try to start the game from the launcher? I assumed most people did the usual steps all the way up to the point where it just didn't work.

I'll update with a little more details from the start. I'm not sure what problem you're seeing or maybe you just don't know where to start?

We'll provide an update when these are resolved. I ain't trying to join, I'm trying to host a privated server, only for me and my friends, but whenever I try it the game just crashes and I don't know why.

Ark probably has more players now than ever. Yeah I understand but if I create the server on my PC, it should work? My brother already did that before when he was playing, and he successfully played with his friends on a server he hosted on his pc, but for me it doesn't work at all.

Same issue. Been trying to get on the same server with a friend for 3 hours. Neither can host, get kicked offline, no idea why. Can't get on same server as they are always topped off or one of us loses connection.

When you say get kicked, you mean your game crashes like me or you just get kicked? I didn't try to join a server yet, but I'll try this afternoon to see if I also have this issue.

We both just said screw it and got the game from steam. We found a nice group of people to play with, but they use mods And with all the new player things going on servers are botched and hard as hell to load into.
