As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK,
you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research
technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements. Use your
cunning and resources to kill or tame the leviathan dinosaurs and other
primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on
hundreds of other players to survive, dominate... and escape!
--- PLAYING SINGLE PLAYER ---
You don't need to be running steam.
Run ARK_Launcher-SP.exe
In main menu, click "Host / Local Play"
Choose the Map, and click "Play Local"
--- PLAYING MULTI PLAYER ---
You will need to use a fake steam account.
Your fake steam account need to have steamplay activated. It means, you
need to have friends activated. It can be achieved by activating any
game with a key. I'm not really sure, since my fake steam accounts are
kinda old... (you can also use your main steam account, but at your own
risk)
1) if you have steam running, exit it
2) locate your steam folder (ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\). rename
the file \appcache\packageinfo.vdf into anything else (ex:
packageinfo.vdf.backup)
3) login to your fake account (a new packageinfo.vdf will be generated)
4) exit steam
5) Run AppID.Patch.exe. click the "Browse" button, select your newly
created packageinfo.vdf into your steam folder. In AppId, put 346110 and
click "Patch". Close AppID patchter
6) login to your fake steam account. you should now see ARK in your library. If you don't see it, you can still continue.
7) Run ARK_Launcher_MP.exe
8) In game main menu, click "JOIN ARK", select filter "Unofficial". You will see all available servers. Click "Join" to connect
9) when you have finished playing, Before using back your legit steam
account, restore your previous saved packageinfo.vdf
(packageinfo.vdf.backup) and rename it to packageinfo.vdf, or you can
just delete the patched packageinfo.vdf
