Ark: Survival Evolved has received a new patch on PC, which brings the game up to version 264.36. This is definitely one of the smaller patches that the game has received, as it really only addresses two problems within the game. However, that’s to be expected now that the full game is set to launch later this month.
As for what the patch actually does, you can check out the brief patch notes below:
– Paintings / Character Paints now appear properly when in Spectator mode
– GPU particles now render properly in SLI / multi-GPU mode (now hopefully NVIDIA can re-enable SLI support for ARK in their drivers!!!!!!!! )
The beginning of the v264 update series was much bigger, fixing plenty of bugs and balancing other aspects of the game. That patch is detailed below:
