Not too sure if it’s an issue with an update, but how do I fix this? I know it’s not...

I guess I spoke too Soon. The update did not fix the issue, and it is actually now worse. It is losing its signal many times a day now. the only way to get it back is a reboot. I am sure this is not good for the Xbox. How do I get a refund?

We have rolled out a fix for this issue - can you confirm you are able to get into the game now?

Good afternoon

Have you checked the installed game files?

Sometimes game files can become corrupted or incomplete, which can cause the game to not load properly. To verify the game files, go to your Steam library, right-click on ARK, select Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This process may take a few minutes to complete.

You have already updated your graphics driver.

Outdated or incorrect graphics drivers can cause issues with games not loading properly. Check your graphics card manufacturer's website to see if there are any updates available for your graphics drivers.

I see, could be a corruption with the system itself. But let’s try to isolate the problem a bit more.

For this please try this: (skip the ones that you already tried)

A. Reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

Type or copy / past the following commands and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse

Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse

Restart the PC and Open the Xbox application.

A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:
"This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again

B. Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there temporarily
Restart the PC and try again

C. Do a clean boot in your PC and try again

D. Create a new local administrator user in your PC and try from there

E. Perform an in-place upgrade for your system (is not the same as the regular windows update , and don't worry your content will remain)
