How to Fix the Cannot Download Error in Ark: Survival Ascended

When you encounter the “Cannot Download, 3 Unsupported Items” error, you are experiencing difficulty transferring your character from the cloud to a newly released ARK map server. Instead of attempting to move your character directly from the cloud, a workaround can help you avoid this error and successfully transfer your character to the new map.

Here’s how to fix the Unsupported Items error in ARK: Survival Ascended:

  1. Download your character from the cloud onto an Island.
  2. Transfer your character directly to The Center server of your choice now that your character is local.

For instance, I saw this error when I tried to transfer my character directly from the cloud to The Center server, but I got my character to The Center by following the instructions above. While this isn’t a proper fix to the experience plaguing ASA players with every new map release, it’s a valid workaround that will get you playing in no time.

Now that you know how to fix the Unsupported Items error in ARK: Survival Ascended, you’ll be able to experience your favorite map in ASA.
