Green arrows when holding H

[OrangePopPlayz]

accidentally turned off the thing that shows a green arrow above youre tames when holding H, how do you get it back on?

I think you selected a tame group, numpad buttons selects a group so your whistles only affect those in that group (you add a tame to the group on their radial menu when holding E on them).
Try pressing some numpad key and see if you disable the group so you whistle to everyone again, if this was the issue.

Just to add to this;

If you press H to bring up the HUD, it should show up the top of the screen if and which Tame Group you have selected. To help with the guess work.

If there is one selected, press the corresponding Numpad Number. If it doesn't deselect the group (Should say 'None' at the top when holding H now), press Num Lock and try again.

Taminggroups are very usefull. You can add one or more birds or even all birds you have and will have to a Taminggroup, also you can add different types of creature. These Arrows show you, which creature is in that Taminggroup you've selected, which also means that only them hear your group whistles.
For now the remove from Group button is bugged, so you need to remove them through the overall config. If you enter your inventory and switch to the tracking tab, where you can track dinos and stuff, there is a inside-tab which is Dino-Groups or something. There you will find all Groups and Containing creatures.
In ASE these Arrows also showed if a creature was passive or not.

I wanna bump this.
The green arrow indicating what tames are currently selected is broken/gone.

I can confirm via tribe menu that my add-to-group-whistle worked but there is no visual indication anymore that i just added the dino in front of me to the current group. Toggling END/H in all kind of combinations doesn't help either. This is really frustrating for someone used to work with groups.

Hi you find solution? I am on same problem no arows !

For me it's 50/50 whether the green arrows will appear when I press H. One time I'll load into the game and they'll be there, the next time I load up they won't appear.

You can set Hud to toggle so it stays on all the time in settings. you can also toggle through your keypad numbers press the Numpad 0 key x1 to set to group 10, press it again to set to Group "none".. if this doesn't fix your issues reply you tried it and report it as a bug in support page.

This does seem to be an actual bug in ASA, rather than user error, everything looks correct in your screenshot, so there may be no solution.

That said, can you try two things for me? First, if you haven't already, experiment with changing Extended HUD to 'Toggle' in the settings menu.

Second is to try pressing 'End' whilst the HUD is open, apparently there are a few different view modes, though I doubt this would be your issue as it wouldn't work 33% of the time.

try pressing the Z key by default that is the key to order add/remove tame
for me it lights up the arrows for a few sec. but that is more then enough to know if i selected the right group before I start shouting all follow me :)

[PanJan]

Update: END /Backspace /Z /switching group nothing have efect.

Only routine what +- work is start game on oficial server if AROWS "DROP(is there)" leave oficial game and conect to my dedicated server and arrows working.

Teory i have on my dedicated server damage numbers ON and on oficial is damge numbers OFF maybee this is core of engine BUG.

Firstime i lost arrow when i clean nort portal hill with my 48 argentavis (bad genetics army) to wipe all creatures in hope to respawn some beter megaterium and yuty.

Maybee too many arrows broke game i dont know.
We have 2 PC 4090(Intel) and 3080(amd) both clients have this arrows issue sometime is there sometime not.

All start after one of patches this week we not use any game MOD actual event we have disabled too.

REPEAT how fix this is log to oficial server keep client on and log to dedicated this routine work 6/10 tries i no find another solution.

I hope this help someone. Thx for feedback

[SeanMacd]

i have same problem. I can still manage groups by pressing H or by going into tracking tab. but the green arrow indicators dont show up, even when holding H. ive tried H, End, backspace and changing groups. really hope someone finds a fix for this. the above isnt working for me.

[The Truth]

bump (the only way ive found to fix is to relaunch the whole game over and over till it works) this needs to be fixed or just remove it if devs are too incompetent to fix it

I will accept cookies and gifts for this solution..

Locate your gameusersettings.ini

Mine is located here
"\steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows"

Make sure this value is set to true not false

"bSpectatorManualFloatingNames=True"

save it (while your game is not launched) and should fix your issues.

Hi, i had the problem of the "NON arrow" below my tamed creatures, it happened suddenly after 10 hours where it worked good, before.

I tried the tip of "123" (just above my post) and it works perfectly! i had recover my arrows!

Guys, test it, find your "gameusersettings.ini" in (normally) "\steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows" and, as he said:

"Make sure this value is set to true not false

"bSpectatorManualFloatingNames=True"

save it (while your game is not launched) and should fix your issues."
