How to play split screen?

[Alligator]

Can't find anywhere how to start a game in split screen multiplayer.

This is why users of the internet should have a license.

To be fair, on the store page it does list Split Screen Co-op in the features.

So it does, guess that will hook in more sales even if its a lie..
but by using a simple search, the first result provided this...

"You’ll even be able to dabble in some local split-screen co-op! Ark: Survival Ascended will also feature full cross-play functionality between PC, Xbox and PlayStation, though that will come later, after its console launch. At the moment, that’s currently flagged to happen at some point in November 2023."

Imagine getting an instant answer instead of waiting for others to give it to you... The wonders of the modern world

I don't understand what are you ranting about, the Steam page clearly says: "Supports public online multiplayer for up to 70 players, private-session multiplayer for up to 8 players, and local split-screen for 2 players."

I would also like to know, there must be some launch settings or whatever to get it to work, as it also has Steam Remote Play Together support (which DOES work) and it makes no sense for both players to control the same character..

P.S.: There also seem to be some splitscreen related commands on the in-game console. Looking into those right now.

Wtf are you talking about, your quote only says that cross-play comes in November. But we are talking about SPLIT SCREEN.

You did not answer the question at all.

"though that will come later, after its console launch. At the moment, that’s currently flagged to happen at some point in November 2023."

Has it occurred to you that perhaps you're the one lacking reading comprehension? It says the crossplay is coming in November, not the splitscreen. If you don't have anything useful to say to contribute to the conversation, you might as well avoid posting altogether

I'm asking about split screen and your answer is that cross play is coming in November. Great, thanks for nothing you genius.

[SomethingShooterDev69]

It says about the local split-screen ..... To me the whole thing implies those features will appear later on and if it clearly is not an available option at the moment then that would further imply that..

Tell me this, In the quote i pasted.. What are the 10 and 11 words...............

anyway blocking because only way to help people like you.

and further to quote... for those to damn lazy.

"Console Survivors,

Last night, while continuing our internal quality assurance process for ASA, our team identified some critical issues in the multiplayer version of the game that would have had major implications for the console versions of the game. Unfortunately, due to these issues, we’ve decided to delay the launch of the Xbox and PlayStation versions of the game until November.

Next steps?

As of now, we’re working on two tracks. One track is managing the launch of PC, and the other track is preparing a patch for the game's console version with the latest content/gameplay updates and fixes.

The additional time lets us resolve those specific multiplayer issues and bring the game up to the PC specification, which received a number of critical improvements as the console versions were going through certification.

We’re still planning to keep crossplay between Steam and Consoles disabled until we’ve entered the quicker certification process, but that decision could change based on how things are looking with PC at the time.

The added benefit of this change is that it also enables us to ensure a smoother console launch as we’ll have fought many of the initial fires with PC and have a more content-rich and stable modding experience that has been battle-tested when the game becomes available on consoles.

Finally, when the console is ready to be released, a fresh set of Official Servers will go online with bonus rates (for a period of time) to allow you to catch yourself up in preparation for Crossark.

We know that this news is far from ideal, however we’ll be doing our best to make the game as good as it can be when it launches in November. We are really grateful for the support and cannot wait to get ASA with cross-platform mods into your hands!

Studio Wildcard"

Now until someone can prove otherwise... logic rules...
- Common sense would suggest that certain multiplayer features have been disabled until the other issues have been resolved just as they did with cross-play..

But again prove otherwise and post how to use this feature as of this moment...

First you post how everybody is stupid and can't read or use the internet but actually you're the one who can't read. "You’ll even be able to dabble in some local split-screen co-op!" Ok, when? On release day? Next month? Next year? Maybe keep the snarky comments to yourself if you have nothing helpful to offer.
