I'm from italy and my Windows 10,Microsoft Store and account are in italian language,when i downloaded Ark Survival Evolved from Microsoft Store,the game is in english,not in italian,Microsoft Store say that the game supports English(United States),like for example Subnautica,but the last one,when i downloaded it,it starts in italian language,while Ark starts only in english,but i know that Ark supports this language and many others.So i don't know why it can't starts in italian and i can't choose the language that i wont.

Could you help me for this issue?

    First method,its not possible because it is for Steam version of the game and thats why this file (LumaEmu.ini) doesn't exist.

    Second method,its no possible because this game has been downloaded from Microsoft Store which doesn't allow to edit files of this game.

    Good day MykolaTereshchenko! I am Independent Advisor Paul R. and also a Microsoft/Windows user like you and I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. I understand that you are looking into changing the language on ARK Survival. If you have already tried and checked if you are able to change the language directly from the game's settings then kindly check and try the methods below and see how it goes.

    Method 1:

    • Go to the below from the File Explorer

    C:\Users\YourName\ARK.Survival.Evolved.v241.5.x64-Kortal\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64

    • Look for LumaEmu.ini and open it
    • Kindly edit this part of the file:

    [Language]

    GameLanguage = your preferred language

    • Close it once done and check it out

    Method 2:

    • Right click on the game's shortcut from the desktop
    • Click on Properties
    • Click on the Shortcut tab
    • Under the Target, at the end of the string put in there -culture=it
    • Click on Apply and then OK and check it out

    Regards,

    Paul R.

    Does this work for graphics for some reason I can’t change mine on ark so I’m lagging slightly even when changing it doesn’t detect changes so I’m stuck on all epic setting and can’t change because it doesn’t work I’ve been trying to find where o can edit in the file setting 

    I’ve tried getting geoforce to optimise it for me but still nothing

    Hi MykolaTereshchenko, my apologies and I would suggest to reach out directly to the game support to cross check with regards to changing the in-game language and you can refer to the link below.
