Studio Wildcard is back with another Ark Survival Ascended update, and this one brings the game to version 1.078.008, and expect another round of fixes.

Read on for what new fixes have been slotted in today, January 15.

Ark Survival Ascended Update 1.078.008 Released on Consoles

Ark Survival Ascended Update 1.075.014

Studio Wildcard hasn’t mentioned anything about today’s patch, but the devs did release one for PC. Given how PC patches are usually released first since there’s less red tape (certification, etc.), chances are, this patch ushers in the same list of fixes from yesterday’s PC update.

  • Fixed Battle Rig front and rear damage immunity.
  • Fixed Zombies so they are affected by movement-impairing mechanics.
  • Fixed Solwyn being aggressive toward non-aggressive creatures.
  • Fixed Gargoyle structure harvesting components so they update correctly on existing map saves.
  • Fixed Zombies glowing after their bodies decay.
  • Alpha Hulking Zombies can no longer be carried.
  • Fixed Bloated Zombie bodies partially remaining after explosion.
  • Fixed the Drakeling Hoard loot chest floating or appearing under the mesh.
  • Potential fix for ARK inventory repeatedly refreshing in some cases.
  • Fixed an issue where players killed while in Feline form could become stuck as a cat.
  • Wisp of Industry can no longer be deployed inside the mesh.
  • Fixed Aureliax body stretching during teleportation.
  • Aureliax can no longer pick up dinos with platform saddles.
  • Thralls can no longer become Reaper parents. Impregnation attacks can no longer target Thralls, and the buff can no longer be applied.
  • Fixed an issue preventing the Solwyn/Malwyn helper UI from being hidden.
  • Male and Female dinos will no longer mate unless mating is enabled on both.
  • Fixed an issue where items could not be repaired unless the full crafting cost was available.
  • Fixed a crash.

There was also a fix for a crash that rolled out too.

The patch released earlier this week housed a slew of gameplay-related fixes, affecting resource caches and more.
