SE Weather events almost all the time?

[Olpan]

is it just for me or do you guys have a weather event ongoing like all the time? its never a normal day for me. my jerboa never shuts up becuase is alerting for a coming sandstorm when its already a heat wave ongoing.

Yes, weather and temps are broken. The only time I can really play is when it rains in the game. I have 158 degrees Fahrenheit all the time. It may go to 80 degrees for about 10 minutes but then back up to 158 degrees. Single Player is broken.

One of my biggest complaints about The Island is how it rains, then it is foggy, then dusk, then night, then dawn and then it rains again and there is fog again, etc, etc.... I don't think the devs even know how to make ark fun like it used to be.
A game should be more fun than frustrating.

Its broken with this build. Non-stop heatwave for over an hour real time in my first load in. 50 + deaths with virtually zero progression (a few xp from gathering in the 50 seconds before the heat-death) and no method to address the problem.

When game devs come up with cool systems (and lets face it, the weather is actually pretty cool) they always go over the top with it. I turn volumetric clouds and fog off, I actually really like the way they look just not ALL the time. Doesn't help with the heat though, probably need to drink soup for that

Same In a heat wave for 5 mins then try to go out gathering , after 1 min another event and now its cold, means you have to cary 2 sets of clothing and torches etc, weight issues. ASE was never like this, yes extreme but never so so close together.. it`s constant, not fun and can`t plan anything, this is my dedi and i plan to tone it down, way way out of balance

same sh1t different game(s) when was the last time any gamedev released working product???

[Ryo11129]

1min between events would be great, weather event isn't even over and my jerboas are going crazy. I'm having non stop waether effects, it's so annoying.
They are annoying in ASE aswell but at least you got llike half a day breathing time at worse.

Sound is broken too, it's either ear shattering loud or so silent, I wondered multiple times if my headphones are daed. I mean, sure, you don't hear wind and thunder as loud when you're inside, but it shouldn't be dead silent. xD

yea, that's a plaque going around gaming industrie for years now. Most devs just use their paying customers as unwilling beta testers.
The availability of internet makes it even easier: Release what you have and patch fix it some time later.
Even smarter: mark your game as Early Access, that's a fine excuse to deliver half finished stuff and have poor performance on top of it. ppl know they might get something unfinished, and there's nothing one can do about it besides not byuing; too bad we already bought...
Jokes aside now, there are some "hidden" gems, early access or not, that are working fine.
Funny enough, these are mostly from small/indie companies; guess it helps a lot when you don't have another big company on your back all the time.

[Pure Dingo]

We having the same problem, not sure how to fix it except wait for the devs to do something.

[Pushnupdazys]

I am having the same problem. Mine goes from electrical storm to heat wave over and over. If I'm lucky I'll get the rain storm for a few minutes between them. Also, when it is a sand storm, it all just blows right through my walls no matter what they are made of, along with those stupid tumble weeds. I got stuck out in my tent for one of the storms and came back to camp to find my small hut filled with 6 tumbleweeds.

[Dradiin]

Glad its not my paranoid self, the storms are crazy.

[James_GT]

I had something similar. heatwave after heatwave. the sandstorm and electrical storm aren't too bad but the heat would just drain my health. I couldn't live more then 20 seconds.

I took a break and came back later. I had over an hour with only 1 sandstorm. in that time I got a building with a bed. I managed to survive the next heatwave with clothes, shelter, and some investment in fortitude. Still occasionally die to heat but not as often.


I think it's just bad luck. just keep going and it gets easier

[Deadly]

Storms are bugged atm trying fix them with patches

[Elevens]

Hopefully they reduce the sound of the storms or at least make a separate slider, they are so loud and playing with no sound isn't much fun either.

[EverTrek1701]

it's simulating our RL situation. seems to be raining, snowing, hot/cold all the time around the globe now....
