Welcome Survivors to this updated version of Ark The Island in Unreal Engine 5.1.
I read all your comments, good or bad, and did my best to correct the issues you noted :
Increased asset render distance to avoid pop-ins/outs
Improved water to a more tropical style but it's still a flat plane. Sorry, Oceanology is too expensive for me ;)
Increased foliage subsurface lighting
Slightly reduced vignette effect
Corrected ambient sounds
Updated Rex, Raptor & Trike to latest TLCs
Improved Dino turning
Corrected many Dino sounds
And last but not least, added a Game Of Thrones "Warg" feature to possess and control Dinos !
All assets (except grass) are Nanite and lighting is handled by Lumen.
