Dinosaur survival game Ark: Survival Evolved received a major update today. Update 2.37 solely focuses on bug fixes, no new content has been added. The patch is around 5.5GB in size and is currently available for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
The turret soaking exploit is fixed, and several mesh exploits are also removed. You can now use Alliance chat with Gamepad (PC only) and building a floating base is not possible anymore.
