Sure thing. Here’s a re-written version of the article:

Alright, folks, buckle up because it’s update time for Ark: Survival Ascended—I guess that’s a reason to cheer if you’re into that sort of thing. We’re midway through July 2025, and guess what? There’s a new version, 68.34 if numbers get you giddy. Anyway, this thing targets all those pesky bugs and glitches we’ve been grumbling about, especially in the Ark: Ragnarok Ascended DLC. Because who doesn’t love a good Norse vibe, right?
So, here we are, nearly two years since Ark: Survival Ascended popped into early access on October 26, 2023. Reception has been… let’s say, a mixed bag. Some folks are waving flags for the updates and content, others are stuck on “why is my game stuttering?” or ranting about those dreaded “pay to win” DLCs. Remember the free Ark: Ragnarok Ascended released in June? Yeah, it’s all shiny and Norse-themed, covering this vast expanse of 144 square kilometers, but it’s been causing some headaches, earning a “Mixed” review stamp on Steam. Not the rave reviews, huh?
Anyway, moving on—no wait, where was I? Oh yeah, updates! Friday, July 18 marks the big day for version 68.34. Don’t expect any new content this time, though; just a laundry list of bug zaps. They tweaked things like low frame rates, and wow, sandstorms sound romantic until they wreck your game performance. Basilosaurus spawns got a boost—I guess somebody out there is thrilled about that.
Now on to mod maps, because we can’t forget those. Saving was bugging out, but apparently, that’s sorted now. You can delete saves—finally. And just as vital, backup saves are put back together, like Humpty Dumpty or something. These fixes should have mod map fans breathing a little easier.
Still with me? Let’s wrap this up with a few odds and ends, a la miscellaneous fixes. Thylacoleo, that cat thingy, can finally swim properly. And no more random items getting swallowed by the landscape—like, where DO they go? In any case, more updates are promised, because those Steam reviews are still itching over unsolved issues. But hey, cross your fingers for more content in August.
Let’s take a peek at these patch notes, shall we? Or maybe not—it’s basically all repeated info. Bug fixes here and there, like low FPS in sandstorms, increased Basilosaurus spawns, solving input woes in labyrinth puzzles, ensuring save icons show up, and getting Thylacoleo’s swimming sorted. Yup, all that jazz.
So, until the next update comes charging in, keep surviving or whatever you do in Ark: Survival Ascended.
