The download can take awhile because there is a lot of game media and a content cache to reduce load times. To create your own maps or mods, first you'll need to sign-up (or sign-in) and download the Epic Games Launcher.ДЄfter downloading and installing the Epic Games Launcher, go to the ARK tab, Create, and click Install. Alternatively, you can simply join an online server that is playing a custom Workshop map (indicated by the 'Custom ARK / Map Name' fields on the Session List), and it will automatically download before you connect to the game - in this case, you'll see an on-screen progress indication of how the download is progressing. You can then either play locally or host an online game with it.

If the mod has been updated, you can also manually refresh all your installed mods via the 'Update Mods' button. Then in-game while playing ARK, you'll automatically see the name of that map or mod appear in the 'Host / Local Play' menu, potentially after a brief delay while the content downloads in the background. To download mods or maps, simply go to ARK's Steam Workshop page and click 'Subscribe' on the item you'd like to get.
