My patch is currently on 355.5 and i need to update it to 355.7 to play on the servers I want to play on. Anyone know what I need to do to update it?

Minor version updates (the numbers after the decimal point) do not matter, clients can still connect to servers if those numbers do not match. It's only major version changes (numbers before the decimal) that will block you from joining.

You are on the correct version, you will be able to join without issue.

Everytime I try and join a game that has a bigger number, like 355.7 when im on the 355.3 it says that something shooter has crashed and will now close.

I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue, and if your version was out of date the game would usually either just give you a message saying 'unable to join', or not display the server to you in the server browser at all. Crashing is very strange behaviour for a version mismatch.

Are you sure it isn't caused by something else, either a glitch, DLC related, or to do with mods? Try validating the game's install on your machine - in your Steam library right click Ark and select Properties. Go to the Local Files tab and select Verify Integrity of Game Files. Steam will check through the files and redownload any that are damaged or missing. See if that fixes the issue.

Other than that, when the game crashes it saves a copy of the crash report to the clipboard. It might help to paste that crash here in this thread so people can skim over it and see if they can diagnose the problem.

I'm having this same fatal error. I'm playing on a modded singleplayer world tho. I verifyed my files and it still won't let me into my own world. If you somehow fix it yourself let me know please. I'll do the same.

I have tried many things, like verifying files, redownloading the game, installing my drivers again and this still didn't work

I’m not too sure but I think I fixed it. After taking off certain mix of mods I got it to work. I don’t really know how but that’s all I did. Lmk if you are able to fix it yourself. Happy Holidays
edit: I did verify files too. I joined other worlds and it wouldn’t let me so I’m pretty sure it was just those mods I had on. Everything works fine for me tho.

How do I get rid of the mods? is it all the files in the file folder or is it just some of them

Been busy these days but I hope you fixed your game and found out how to delete mods. How I did it was by clicking on the ark game thru steam clicking the gear for settings opening workshop and check the mods to delete then unsubscribe

I actually had the same issue happening again because I added the mod that was messing me up but I put in -preventhibernation in the launch options and right now it seems to be alr
