Ark: Survival Evolved Update 2.65 Patch Notes

  • Refactored TEK Dedicated Storage. This is a framework overhaul for server optimization, it should improve stability across the board due to huge memory savings on large/active servers. It will generally work the same way. You can still deposit and withdraw, but there are a few changes to note:
    • Dedicated storage boxes will now display their quantity in front of the box
    • You will now be able to place the slot ceiling yourself using the Transfer All button when using Dedicated Storage and it will ignore your weight.
    • You will no longer see inventory inside the dedicated storage box when opening it, don't worry, your items are still there.
    • You will no longer be able to make popcorn (spam the "O" key to drop items) directly from dedicated storage (but you can now transfer a slot cap to your own inventory and popcorn from the).
    • Added 3 more buttons to dedicated storage boxes for removing 1, 5, and 10 items.
  • Fixed a bug where Explorer Notes would not unlock properly on Genesis Part 1 and Genesis Part 2. Any missing Genesis Part 2 notes can be recovered, and Genesis Part 1 notes should be retroactively fixed, but can cause you to respawn on Genesis Part 1.
