cant seem to transfer to Scorched Earth from single player game
Just started a single player game to test out the new content but it wont let me transfer at an obelisk, no options for it or anything. Anyone have any ideas on how to make it work?

Yes, go to an oby, make sure you have NO gear on you...completely naked. also, do a mind wipe so you can get back some engrams to spend over here....and i didnt know i had already posted said info...sorry guys.

But when I go to the obelisk, there isn't an option for the gateway.

I'll have to poke around at this. I wiped all my saves and started on SE.

Maybe I'll head back after I hatch a Lazer chicken or two.

ascension gate? you mean the gates to the bosses? If so then yes, the boss portals are there but no gateway to SE

edit: went from the island to scortched earth then back

Your english was fine :) Did you do this in single player? I know that on official servers your base and dinos are saved server side so they stick around, I just wonder if in single player things get deleted. Either way, thank you for the reply :)


yes, all of this was tested on single player game..and np was happy to help

Thanks! I just transferred my single player character to Scorched Earth and back to the Island and everything was exactly as you said. :)

And Shodan

In order to transfer to Scorched Earth, what I mentioned in my first response works. Go to an obelisk, click transmit ark data at the very top center of the screen that comes up and upload your character. Then hit escape, go back to the main menu of the game, and launch Scorched Earth. Then there you can either start a new character (and select download survivor and choose the one you uploaded) or if you already have a character on Scorched Earth, you can take that one to an obelisk and upload it, then when it prompts you to create a new character, select download survivor.

The devs have said they plan to streamline the process for singleplayer games, so maybe the gate you're referring to hasn't been implimented yet. But the above process works for transferring characters back and forth to Scorched Earth without issue :)

I had heard conflicting reports on how to transfer. And as far as the devs streamlining it, that would be great but based on whats happened so far, I wouldnt expect it to happen anytime soon.
