You are probably playing Singleplayer. That's called hibernation which is turned on by default. Hibernation makes everything freeze as long as it's not loaded. That polishes the performance by a good bit, but you cannot see the details of the dinos anymore.
To disable hibernation (which makes the performance a bit worse) you need to do:
1. Right click on Ark in your game library.
2. Select "Properties".
3. Click on "Set Launch Options" and add:
-preventhibernation
(with the minus)

I'm not OP but I'm going to do that and see how badly I get murdered and see how fast I can lose track of things

Not sure about this but I think s+ got broke again with the update from Friday. Again, I'm not sure about that.
-preventhibernation. I love this command as it brings lots and lots of dinos out of hiding. But I play SP offline.

It could also be you don't have enough transmitters and tek generators to unlock the functions of S+ dino scan you want.

It's been awhile since i have played but i think you may need 4 transmitters and 5 tek generators to unlock all the functions.

There was a config to disable the need for multiple transmitters but it did not work for me in single player in June.

From may 31 update notes-
"- The DisableNeedMultipleTransmitter config now also removes the need for power to use the remote scan function of the S+ Omni Tool"

I've experienced the same issue and made sure I have all the needed gens and transmitters but its not showing levels but dose show locations, so far I've only been able to replicate this issue on genesis part 2.
