Ark Survival Ascended Gets New Update 1.052.018 to Patch Out Flying Ability
With the Aberration patch released for Ark Survival Ascended, not only did Studio Wildcard drop a load of content for players, but there were also bugs included as well (figuratively and literally). One of the actual bugs is a spider named Cosmo, and there was an unintended bug in the game that allowed players to fly! That has since been patched out today as part of Ark Survival Ascended update 1.052.018 (PC version 52.22).
According to Studio Wildcard, the new Ark Survival Ascended update released today did the following:
52.22 – Minor Version for Steam Clients – 13/09/2024
- Fixed lighting flicker on Aberration
- Fixed an unintentional bug with Cosmo that allowed players to fly
Note that the patch is also live on PS5.
In addition to that, there were also multiple server-side patches released that amended crashes and an exploit.
v52.23 – Minor version for Servers – 09/13/2024
- Fixed an issue with Rock Drake gliding on servers
v52.21 – Minor version for Servers – 09/13/2024
- Fixed an exploit
- Fixed several server crashes
Studio Wildcard has been very busy patching out issues in all versions of Ark Survival Ascended. Just the other day, a patch was released to fix the rendering issue that affect players. By our count, today’s patch is the fifth title update released for fixes since the Aberration patch was released.
Chances are, we’ll be getting more patches soon, and once we have one, we’ll let our readers know.
