Well, FearEvolved worked for me in singleplayer. and TurkeyTrial starts today, usually around 5 PM (GMT) so maybe in like 2 hours.

Thanks for the time frame. Just assumed by them saying the 24th it would be on.

You dont need to wait, use the launch option -ActiveEvent=TurkeyTrial to start the event anytime you want on singleplayer, works for all events
  • Easter Allows for the Easter Event to be activated

  • Arkaeology Allows for the Arkaeology Event to be activated.

  • ExtinctionChronicles Allows for the Extinction Chronicles Event to be activated.

  • WinterWonderland Allows for Winter Wonderland 2019 Event to be activated.

  • vday Allows for Love Evolved to be activated.

  • Summer Allows for Summer Bash 2020 Event to be activated.

  • FearEvolved Allows for ARK: Fear Evolved 3 to be activated.

Cant get the Turkey Trial to start. Tried the launch commands but nothing.
you need to wait for the update to go through.

As with all events, they throw a patch to add event assets in then remove them after some time. This is why the Xmas event doesn't work right if you use the launch command.

ahh thanks for clearing it up. Had the game years but had time during lockdown and have become addicted.

No problem! They do typically push the update around 5:00 pm GMT as stated above, there should be a fairly sizable patch.You should also keep an eye on their Twitter as well if they need to delay the update (they did for Fear Evolved this year).

This no longer works anymore so please stop telling people it does. They removed Activeevents a while back to reduce game size. Content for each event is deleted from your system after the event is over. You might still be able to get like colored dinos or other stuff that does not require game files to exist but you will not get Easter eggs for the Easter event or pumpkins for the Halloween event. If the content has not been deployed yet for the Turkey event then activating will not do anything.

You can still activate the events, however, only some items will still remain, most notably the dino colors. I had the summer event active for 2 months after it was removed and i still had the items in the cooking pot as well as the colored dinos.

The "core" of the events are removed. Things like Raptor Claus or DodoRex are removed afterwards.

Sounds like you may just have to wait for it to properly start, rather than forcing it to begin early in your game.

Alternately, if you're playing singleplayer, is it possible to spawn in the cosmetic item(s) you wanted?
(I'm guessing not, if the rest of the thread is accurate; but it may be worth testing in a separate save.)

Strange, i had no problems starting on Rag, all tho i started on scratch. And in my country its actully the 25th now, soo i am guessing the turkey trail shoud be working worldwide now, but i still exsperiancing game crash when i try to logg in on the Island. Seems like there are a new patch downloading now, cant see what it is tho, but i guess its not that big. Ah well i guess i just have to wait and see, if the Trail actully are going to work, as it shoud.
