what did u do?

In your 'Saved/SavedArksLocal' folder you should see a file called 'TheIsland.ark' (or whatever the name of the map it is you are playing)

This file is basically your games world state. There should be a number of other files with the .ARK extension that have dates in them, like this format: 'TheIsland_27_09.2017_05.51.52.ark' . These are your periodic backups. You can overwrite your current game state 'TheIsland.ark' file with one of these to restore it back to that time.

Before you do any of this please make a copy of your entire 'SavedArksLocal' folder. When I play single player I make a habit of backing up this folder every day.

Also, the file called 'LocalPlayer.arkprofile' is the state of your ark player. It also has a backup but not as frequent as your game world.

Hope this helps

Remove the original and Rename the backup to eg: TheIsland.ark. .... make sure your mods (if any) are loading up first in SP

[ZeBushMan]
