    Love the map. Beautiful, creative...there do seem to be a few areas on the map near the Skull island that are more laggy that most other areas of the map. We have our own server and have several survivors always fussing about lag in the southern area of the map and a couple of them have quite nice video cards. Able to do any optimizations for video on that area? 4 out of 5 stars....IMO

    Its pretty bad when people are too stupid to figure out how to install something so they give it a negative review. This DLC is great, its the same base game but on a new map. I found it a little irritating at first it seemed where ever i spawned there was a raptor there waiting to kill me. But now that ive got my base set up in some ancient ruins and i have a mini volcano island LOADED with metal rocks im pretty happy.

    The game is a lot of fun... if it works... My current rig is a decent setup with win10 pro, AMD FX 6300 six core processor, 16GM of RAM, with an Nvidia GTX 960 GPU. So even though i dont have the top of the line rig its decent and shouldnt have any trouble running anything. But Ark likes to be un-cooperative. I can play Ark on official servers usually with no problem. server lag here and there but over all not bad. However when i try to join some friends in a privately owned/rented server it just doesnt want to work. For instance they are playing on the center map, i logon to their server and lag like hell, its un-playable. but if i join another server of the same map in back at 60 fps with no issues. Its almost like the game itself is Bi-polar. If you have a low end pc i highly suggest you stay away from this game.

    Thumbs down until they fix the totally ridiculous workaround just to get the damn map installed. Steam has the API to make this work painlessly and yet it is not being properly utilized right now.

    I've played many modded maps in my life... starting with unreal tournament and quake, up to counter strike and half life deathmatch. This is a very impressive work of art made in Unreal Engine 3, and the area with the huge watefalls into the abyss. it was the first time i felt amazed by a map

    For everyone having issues installing the DLC. This is how I resolved it. 1. Find Ark: Survival Evolved in your Library list. 2. Right click on it, click Properties. 3. The properties dialog appears. Click on the DLC tab. 4. The DLC window will show all the DLC you have for the game. If you've tried to obtain it from the steam store, it should have it there. The Install checkbox may be checked, but the status will probably be "Not Installed. 5. Untick the Install box. Click Close. 6. Reopen the Properties, go back to the DLC tab, check the Install box. Click Close. This should force the download to occur. Check your current downloads for an 1.8gb ARK update. Hope this helps.
