Hi everyone,
I've been experiencing a fatal error that seems to be associated with either my single player map or character. My crashes were happening immediately when attempting to load into my single player game. I could access the game menu and join other online games with a new character. It seems my character or map were corrupted. If this description matches your experience then follow the instructions below to restore your single player game files from your backup files. This is not the same as "verifying integrity of game files".
1. Go to "\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArksLocal\TheIsland_WP". In this directory you should see the files listed below:
1399980138.arktribe
1399980138.tribebak
LocalPlayer.arkprofile
LocalPlayer.profilebak
TheIsland_WP.ark
TheIsland_WP_30.10.2023_04.12.38.ark
TheIsland_WP_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak
2. Create a new folder (Name the folder archive, old, or corrupted.. doesn't matter)
3. Move the following files into the archive directory you created:
1399980138.arktribe
LocalPlayer.arkprofile
TheIsland_WP.ark
4. Rename the following files in the "TheIsland_WP" directory as such:
1399980138.tribebak -> 1399980138.arktribe
LocalPlayer.profilebak - LocalPlayer.arkprofile
TheIsland_WP_AntiCorruptionBackup.bak - > TheIsland_WP.ark
My only concern with this fix is that you may lose some progress. I had just created flak armor for myself and a metal spear but it doesn't seem like I lost any progress. Just a fair warning that your results may vary.
Thank you, loaded up...for now hehe
