Anyone know why I can't tame Tapejaras?

[Sfen]

I've knocked out 2 separate Tapejaras now, and both times I put meat in its inventory, but it refuses to eat well past it's usual point. So much so that the first one actually died of starvation. Everything that I see online says that it is just a normal knock-out tame, with a carnivore diet. Is there anything that I'm missing? This is on an Official PVP server btw.

Nvm my first comment. Have you tryed to tame other dino to see if it do the same?

[Sfen]

Yeah every other dino tames as normal, I tamed 2 stegos at the same time I had the second tapejara down.
The weird part is that the taming progress bar never even shows up while it has food in it's inventory, This makes me think that I'm either not using the right food, or that there's some external requirement that they've added. This is my first time back to ark in about a year, so maybe someone has some insight.

If someone else tried to tame or knock it out and failed and then you attempt to do so, sometimes this will not trigger allowing them to eat.

Also, sometimes if another attempted to tranq it then gave up and then you come along to try the same OR you tranq and chase it or stop for a long while then try to tranq it again, then it once knocked out can also bug out and not eat.

In some of the above cases, if you leave render distance for a while then come back it either will start eating or have already been eating(if and only if no one else is also in render distance). Typically though it doesnt work and you just have to kill off the dino as its bugged and will typically cause the same issues for others.

Here's an early pic of the second one down and roughly 300 food below its max, But I waited until it was all the way down to 200 before I gave up. They should eat around every 50 food right? Depending on what you're using?

The tapejara did actually say "tameable by [Golden Knights]" which is my tribe name, so I don't think someone made a previous attempt. I didn't try going out of rendering distance for each of them though. So sounds like it's just a bug?
Btw I knocked it out on the spot with a bola and crossbow with tranqs, so it was never out of rendering range for me.

You misunderstand. Once you notice its not eating, leave rendering distance for a while(if and only if no one else is in rendering distance). If the subzone goes into stasis because no one is in it then return, it some times resets/triggers for them to eat.

Also, your current tame status would not reflect the previous attempts by others.

All in all, yes Its very much a bug that has been around for a long time and rears its ugly head every once in a while for some. Also as I said just some wont tame up and no matter if its a virgin tame attempt or otherwise and just have to be killed off due to being corrupted in some fashion(ie bugged).

You also have to make sure its body isn't clipping through stuff (structures etc).

Well If it happens a 3rd time, I'll try to leave the area for a bit and see if that fixes it, Otherwise, I seem to just be having bad luck finding the bugged ones, huh. Thank you for all the input!

[crimsondrac]

is this server under your control or is it run by someone else. Is it possible they just have code in the game to prevent taming this flyer? They could use something like this in the game.ini:

PreventDinoTameClassNames="Tapejara_Character_BP_C"

Leave the area so you are unable to see the tapejara, then go a bit further (with food in its inventory) and then fly back and that should fix the issue.
