FIX LowLevelFatalError
As i read, for some its working, for others not. For me it worked. I had the crash latestly every 5 minutes. I did a few steps together, so i cant tell if just 1 of them fixed it or the combination of all together.

1. In the game main folder, "Steam\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64", the 2 exe files "ArkAscended.exe" and "ArkAscended_BE.exe", go in properties --> compatibility and check for both on "Run this program as an administrator".

2. Nvidia Control Panel --> Configure Surround, PhysX --> PhysX settings, drop down on processor and choose your Graphics Card.

3. Verified integrity of game files.

4. Started game, in main menu go to settings, you can leave DLSS on but deactivate Frame Generation and Nvidia Reflex Low Latency.

All other graphics settings i have on epic with DLSS on balanced, played now 1 hour without crash.

I didnt tested yet game start up with BattleEye since for now i am playing soloplayer game, but the crash before happened also without BattleEye, so i guess that point shouldnt count.

Hope this helps!

But I believe the crashes doesn't have to do with what hardware you use. It's a issue in programmimg of the game, since the crash in most cases can be avoided by different launch approaches or settings changes.

The game launches now, thank you. But my fps is horrible on the lowest settings since the last update.

Running as administrator didn't work and since I have an AMD GPU none of these other things apply except verifying which I already did.

This is likely the root cause for MANY experiencing crashes
