Ark: Survival Ascended is finally available on PC but a significant change to dedicated servers has led to fury among players.

It was recorded by Syrian refugee Abdullah Mohammad, and shows him and his daughter Salwa while they were living with a friend in the town of Sarmada in Syria, having fled their home in Saraqib city.
