Good Afternoon,
Studio Sirens remains dedicated to providing updates as issues are being logged or addressed. We are also maintaining visibility regarding bugs reported into the #「📩」support channel on the Official ARK: Aquatica Discord.
In continued support of transparency, continued showcase of progress as well as Aquatica DLC specific content, Studio Sirens developer, Z_Swell will continue to stream live again this week!
The plan for these streams is to review the updates from the latest efforts, preview upcoming fixes, and answer player/community questions.
The current schedule will be: Tuesday (8/5) and Thursday (8/7)) at 2PM PST.

The next game engine update, planned to allow more mods to load, is currently delayed due to compilations. Rather than introduce new issues, we will delay the game engine update until a solution is found. We will continue testing to be able to release the next update in full soon.
Current top priority issues:
FPS and Level Optimization
Mods Compatibility / Updated Dev Kit
Server Issues
Core Functionality
In the meantime, the ‘preaquatica’ branch will remain available.
