Unversion Hotfix: Added community Spanish Translation by Neizan, IsCariote Youtuber and his team! Also updated the “Localization Manager” to have a “Update Archives from Manifest” button which allows you to update the latest localization strings from “English” into your selected language archives!.
BattlEye Notes: The new executable to properly play on Official Servers is ShooterGame\Binaries\ShooterGame_BE.exe, which we’ve updated the Steam Launch options to include (if you launch ShooterGame.exe directly, you will be redirected to ShooterGame_BE.exe if you connect to any Official Server running BattlEye). If you wish to run your Unofficial Server with BattlEye, you can do so with -BattlEye (however, only functions with Windows servers currently). Note that BattlEye is currently not ready for Mac or Linus, so we have temporarily disabled the capability of Mac/Linux clients to connect to BattlEye servers. We hope to have this resolved within the coming few days. Thank you for your patience!
ARK supports now user-created localizations.
We want to show you how you can choose your language :
1. There is a new app in the folder:
\Tools\LocalizationManager\LocalizationManager.exe
Run it and then check the languages you want, afterwards click ArchiveFiles->XLS to generate an excel spreadsheet of all the localizations (this can take some minutes) “Completed” will show up on the status panel when it is finished.
Upload that XLS to Google Docs or another text-programm for easy group editing.
2. When you’re ready to reimport new localizations, click “XLS->Archive Files” and then choose your XLS, and it will import and integrate the localization data for the checked languages.
3. Finally, click “Generate Game Files From Archives” and it will actually prepare the corresponding shipping binary localization data for the checked languages for display in-game. (this “\ShooterGame\Content\Localization\Game\YOURLANGUAGE\ShooterGame.locres” binary file is what is actually used in-game for speed)
The localization files themselves are located here, in whatever language subfolder you want to specify:
“\ShooterGame\Content\Localization\Game\YOURLANGUAGE\”
There are no hardcoded language directory names, so whatever language subfolder name you want yours to be, you just then run the game with the following commandline:
\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame.exe -culture=yourlanguage
(Ideally yourlanguage is the corresponding two-character language code from the standard here: http://www.lingoes.net/en/translator/langcode.htm )
For example, for Spanish (which we’ve not yet translated!):
\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame.exe -culture=es
To distribute your localization, just zip up your Localization language’s subfolder and then be sure to tell your players where to extract it, namely into here:
“\ShooterGame\Content\Localization\Game\”

Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed a startup crash with localization.
Hello ARK-Community!
We plan to make a new series of posts featuring some interesting Mods for ARK! We would love to hear from you what Mods you really like (and why), on which we should take a deeper Look. So that everybody can experience ARK in a different way!
We´ll try to show you two different Mods a week!
