What was this relative to though? I started tracing the file accesses using fs_usage and noticed that the first place that file commands starting failing was when looking for /Users/Shared/Epic Games/ARKSurvivalEvolved/ShooterGame.app/Contents/UE4/ShooterGame/Binaries so for grins I added the directory mkdir -p "/Users/Shared/Epic Games/ARKSurvivalEvolved/ShooterGame.app/Contents/UE4/ShooterGame/Binaries". /./Shared/Content/Internationalization. Taking a look at the logs it was printing: ICU data directory was not discovered. Without any subtlety at all I disabled GateKeeper by disabling SIP, and instead of appearing to do nothing at all at launch ARK quickly crashed.
I don’t know if it will ever launch, as I wasn’t willing to wait that long. After a bit of research with Activity Monitor it came clear that ARK wasn’t signed or notarized and it looks like GateKeeper was carefully checking all 96GB before launching. Unfortunately attempting to launch it on my machine using Epic Games Launcher(an Intel iMac with 24G running 11.6) didn’t appear to do anything. That being said if you have already purchased it, the download link from your Epic Games library appears to work fine, and 96 GB later I apparently had ARK downloaded. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the Epic-Apple joy that has been going on recently, but Epic no longer lists Apple support for ARK. He had never really gotten it to work well though and had deleted it long ago.
Once upon a time my son had downloaded ARK for macOS from the Epic Game Store (got it for free if I remember correctly) and so I was interested to see if we could set up a dedicated server so that we could do some head-head dino battles. Stadia doesn’t support any type of server though. I got it for “free” as a pro subscriber and after a few hours of taming dinos by myself was interested in playing with my son. This is just me using Medium as a blog to store random bits of info…ĪRK: Survival Evolved has recently appeared on Stadia®.
