Ark Survival Evolved Xbox app on Windows 10 Joining Failed Connection Timeout

Hi Hüseyin_572,

I believe that Ark Survival Evolved is not a cross platform game. I understand you and your friend are using Windows 10 but there is no cross play with Ark Survival Evolved between Xbox GamePass Beta and Steam.

hello there and thank you for coming to the forums, sorry to hear you are having some problems getting Ark to load up.

i dont know too much when it comes to pc gaming but i did find a link that could possibly help it gives multiple things to do to get it working with windows 10 -> Ark
Survival Evolved issues on windows 10

hope it helps.

My friends haven’t been able to join me on ARK Survival Evolved (Non-Dedicated Session), Astroneer, Kingdom Two Crowns and there may be others I don’t remember.

The weird thing is that sometimes they can join me on those games and other times they can’t and it says “Failed to Connect”.

If this is the Windows 10 store version, I'd first try to reset the app by going to settings > Apps and then finding Ark in the list. From there click it and select Advanced Options. On that page will be a button to "Reset" the app.

If that doesn't work this page has a number of other steps to try that might resolve the issue for you: https://windowsreport.com/ark-survival-evolved-issues-windows-10/

What are the specs of the computer you're trying to run it on? That might have something to do in terms of compatibility.

In order to isolate a bit more your issue, is this happening with this specific friend the issue?

Do you know if you and your friend have crossplay enabled?

And which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this, in that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

I'll be waiting for your reply, greetings from another Microsoft user
