DLC's

[Rayne]

Can specific DLC's be uninstalled, then reinstalled at a later time?

[Lord Eistee]

Yes, go to your steam-library---> select Ark and go to details. Then you go to DLCs and enable/disable the ones you want

[Rayne]

Thanks, I'll try that.

Yes. Really though all you're doing is removing the map. All assets and dinos etc that those dlc's use still part of the base game though so if you're doing this for the purpose of reducing space, yes it does(again because of the map) but the game still is large and will continue to grow with new updates(even not dlcs).

This is because the resources and dinos have to be rendered if you play on official servers since people bring wyverns for example from SE or Ragnarok etc to the Island map. Otherwise you'd have people griefing others with invisible dinos n the like. But that's a benefit too since in single player you can use admin codes to spawn in any dinos from any dlc on say the island yourself too.

Again that's if its a size concern you're having. But yes if you uninstall, you'll be able to install them again. You'll just see them unticked in the DLC boxes when you right click ark in your library and go to properties.

One question: If I uncheck Rag, the lava golen, Ice worm queen and the chest from the sunken ship are invinsible for me. Is there any workaround for that besides to download Rag?

No no no. ALL DLC dinos resources and similar assets are NOT invisible. You get them even if you uncheck dlcs. I was saying devs give them all in the default files of the game -because- if they didnt they'd become invisible. This is why you're only uninstalling the map(essentially) when you untick the dlcs.

Spawn commands for the dlcs creatures and resources all work on the island server.

I'll try that in 1-2hours again with simple spawners. I can guarantee you, they are invinsible for me. I have a boss-spawner setup on SE in the colloseum, the wyvern queen does spawn but is invinsible. I'll answer you again, if I have try'd it.

If you mean the crystal wyvern queen is a boss for the crystal isles free dlc server.

If you are using a -mod- to spawn things, that's not what we're talking about because using a mod is unto itself not necessarily using default variables.

Test this instead by using direct admin commands:

admincheat summon CrystalWyvern_Character_BP_Boss_C

Also keep in mind where you spawn something on a map can also cause further issues say if it spawns it accidently under the terrain too.

I tried it with your command, didnt work either. My Wyverns aggro'd on her and killed her easily, but she was still not visible for me
