A player with this account is already logged in Duh! When are you going to sort this bit of bad programing? When the game crashes or server dissconnects and you try to log back in why does it have to take 5 mins for the server to realise your not in game and finally log me out ?

This is a common problem with most games not just with ark, you will just have to wait for the server realize that you are not there before it logs you off, I have on occasion with other games when my Internet dies or mains flicker, I had to wait longer than 5 minutes before being able to login back in. I do understand that this is an annoying issue but you will have to live with it as it's a fact of life when it comes to playing games online.

What are these most games that you speak of? I have had other people tell me this too but any other game I’ve ever played greets you with a prompt to rejoin upon loading.

Infact ark itself didn’t used to have this problem (back when I had a lot of GPU related crashes).

Even from a programming stance... how the hell can you not realize that you have stopped receiving input from your client?

Just exit whole steam. It will log you off the Ark server.

It they haven't figured out how to resolve their issue in 4 years, I'm pretty sure its a moot point by now...
