    Why is Ark Ascended so broken a year(?) after initial release?


    I bought the Astraeos map got it downloaded and working on an unofficial server but now every time I try and jump on Astraeos won't even open it just crashes the game completely. I'm fed up.

    :)

    dlc not installed?

    Hi， xDDKxmalcolm

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.



    According to your description, you cannot install your DLC content in Ark Survival Ascended.



    This is a hot issue, and the community has received a lot of feedback from players with the same problem.

    Ark Survival Ascended - "DLC not installed" - Microsoft Community

    You may need to wait for an official update to install the DLC content normally.

    And you can try to uninstall and install it on the Microsoft Store/Xbox different programs to see if it works.
