my fix still works but it still has the drawbacks

SOLUTION! My friend Julak discovered that if you go into your Local game, and access the console/obelisk, you can remove items until the unknown limit is un-broken and then you may access your items again via an unofficial server console/obelisk.

Please confirm here if you have tried this after seeing an empty ARK Data Items area and solved the problem this way.

i will have to try this when it next happens thank you

I just had this happen to me. Going to Single Player did work to allow me to access the Ark items and remove some and allowed me to access the rest of the Ark items in another private server.

well I only lost sh&t :P
pig manure, but it broke the obelisk it seem
on my test server I have about 400-500 personal(named, custom skills and lvl) dinos so deleting that file mention is not something that I will do

At first, I could go into my local world and download items, but now even that is broken. Others had successfully transferred items to and from my local (non dedicated) server before v239.0 released. I personally have had this problem for awhile now.. broke somewhere around 236.0

Confirmed. You can see all the items in single player and if you reduce the amount stored to under 50 stacks of items it will allow you to access it from online games again.

It would seem that while online the game doesn't stop you from going over the item limit and just hides it from you when you go over instead. While single player stops you and displays a message when you reach the limit but is always visible even if you overloaded it in online mode.

I just had this happen to me. i am part of two owned unoffical serves, residing on scortch earth but going to the island on hunting trips. After putting my stuff in it crashed. Then after this the items are now all invisible. I tried to use the local game play idea, but that only showed the few items i was able to put in after i got back on from it crashing, the rest are still in there and blocking both my unofficial and official ark data uploads. Is there a better solution than wiping my own self?

Did you try dumping it ALL out into your local game and trying again on public?

[Mysfytt]

I couldnt see ALL, only the items I put in AFTER I crashed and got back on.(I crashed near the end of inserting stuff) The stuff I put in before I crashed is still locked behind invisibility.
Issue seems related to a mod - bolas dont stack, so we are trying to take that mod off and unsubscribe to it to see if this clears the data.

[Mysfytt]

sadly removing the mod did nothing, oblisk data still blocked. I looked in that file location o my comp but it has just local data, not the data for the two servers i am on, although the block seems to effect any server I am on so i dont know what to delete.

[Lazloe Longhair]

If there was anything in there, it *should* show up in a local stock solo game. It is entirely possible it may have broken and wiped.

The fact that you can store new stuff in there and see it implies you may be screwed.

This is largely why wife and I have our own server. We can do stuff together and when we get Alpha'd we can admin in what we lost.

I know this is a major necro, but seeing as it has happened to others again, I thought I might mention that we have this problem on our server too.

It started after patch 256 when I exceeded a limit we didn't know was there; one item over 170 and everything turns invisible. They're still there as you can see the total number of items uploaded, but you can see them or interact with them.

I deleted my local save file (removed everything I had uploaded in other words) and thought it would be fine as long as I kept the number of items limited, but it keeps happening; even if I only upload 20 items some of them "disappear". We no longer dare to upload any items into the obelisks/supply drops in case of losing them and this seems to happen to all of us on the server. I never uploaded anything stackable or modded (mostly saddles and event skins), so I don't know what's causing it, but it doesn't seem to happen on official servers as far as I can tell.

I tried going into singleplayer to see if I could download or even see the six items I have uploaded that have turned invisible, but nothing.

I am having the same issue. I didnt know there was a limit on items you could transfer so I put 211 items on it. Locked now, I can't get them back, because they are invisible and there is nothing I can do to delete them. This is a pain. Now I can't even move items on a cluster private server I was playing because of this lock!

I don't know if there's supposed to be a limit or if it's just completely bugged out for us as it doesn't seem to matter if I try to upload 90 or 10 items, some (the majority if I upload a lot of things) will still disappear.

We don't have a cluster, but we have two servers that we transfer between and that's how we discovered this. I was going to play on our SE server, loaded up my tames, saddles, weapons etc. to bring with me and lost pretty much all of it. Now we don't transfer anything except for the animals, instead we check our bps and the stats on the things we were planning to transfer and spawn in near identical items on the other server. It's a hassle and we would be thrilled if we could use ARK data instead. :/

You can deleted them by going into the ARK folder on your computer and delete the profile in the LocalProfile folder, but remember to make a back-up just in case and to download all your animals first if you have any uploaded, otherwise you'll delete those too. You will lose all your dossiers and notes if you have collected those, so keep that in mind (no engrams or anything like that though).

The save is located at: Steam - steamapps - common - ARK - ShooterGame - Saved - LocalProfiles
