ARK update 1.46 is now available for the popular survival game. It’s less exciting than the last major update that brought players a bunch of Tek weaponry, but it does fix a bunch of minor bugs, including a memory issue. That’s always good news.
Check out the ARK update 1.46 patch notes below:
- Big memory improvements, resulting in less out of memory issues
- Added ground clutter optimizations.
- Other improvements.
- Includes minor bug fixes.
Also, in case you missed it, you can also check out the patch notes for the far more substantial ARK update 1.44:
– New Weapon: Tek Sword (Charge-Attack and damages Metal & significantly pierces Armor when powered by Element)
– New Armor: Tek Shield (Reflects incoming projectiles/bullets when powered by Element)
