T key doesn't work in inventory
The update that allows the T key to transfer items from one inventory to another does not work for me. (I run my own personal server) but it also don't work in singleplayer, but on my server my brother and his friend can both use the t key.

I've already went through this discussion https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/490124466472168232/ and nothing from it fixes it, however when i check the file integrity it finds 2 files redownloads and still a problem.. so i've uninstalled and reinstalled and it still keeps getting the corrupt files any help would be appreciated.

That's not what the OP was referring to.

When you have Inventory OPEN, T is used to transfer items, not call your dinos. This is a default commands, not a key change. You open Inventory on an object with F, hover over the item to transfer, and hit T.

You can use F to OPEN inventories on dinos and other items, and is most used to prevent you from turning powered items off or mounting/dismounting your dinos when interacting with them.

When you are not in your inventory, T is used to call dinos.

Just to confirm, it never works? Even when you click on an item, then press 'T'?

Does 'O' work?

I mean no offense, but is your T key working outside the game? I see there are Ts in your post of course, but we don't know if you posted with your gaming machine.

Also, have you tried manually moving all game files to a backup location after you uninstall and before you reinstall? It sounds a lot like corrupted bits of data somewhere.

Yes O works fine i've just never been able to use the T to tranfer item to a different inventory since the added it to the game.

Yeah the key works fine, i can use it to whistle out of the inventory and works fine in everything else, and yeah i made back up's and then did a completly remove and reinstalled and after i got done checked file integrity and it still finds corrupt files even though it just redownloaded and reinistalled, other then trying that again the only thing i can think is to try putting it on another drive and starting fresh again. If anyone has any other suggestions I appreciate the help

I agree. Install to a new folder. If you're having issues on a HDD maybe run some error checking on it to be sure you're not having bigger issues. Also, run games on SSD whenever possible. Don't worry about speed when you buy SDD, go for high rewrites. It makes for longer-term data integrity.

I was a diagnostic PC tech for more than a decade and I don't miss HDDs at all. I had to reinstall everything every couple years on HDDs. I've had this same system SSD and I've added a couple game and other SSDs in the past few years and haven't had bad files once.

Had this problem before, reset my keybinds to default and it fixed the problem. I had remapped the T to something else and lost the option to transfer while in inventory.

Also when you uninstall you should go in and delete you steam ark folder (back up map and character data beforehand) should fix you file problems.

ALSO THE 2 CORRUPT FILES that didn't update after verification could be read only causing them to not update.

Hope it helps

I cannot see to use the T for Transfer on my single player game and can on other servers could it be a single player thing or maybe we use the same mod that is messing with us.

Please check if you are using Ansell model on your game; that can stop the inventory shortcuts from working.
