keeps crashing at start

[ilyalexito]

everytime i try to get into the game it always crashes. ive reinstalled, updated my drivers, changed it to run as admin and nothing seems to work. is anyone else having these issues or have an idea how to fix?

[Dradiin]

SP or on a server ?

Turning off all of the bells and whistles on the right side panel in graphics settings has stopped all the crashing for me.... but it makes the game ugly.

[CarTrack]

I've managed to fix the Render Thread Core crash with this console command:

ark.VertexCountScaling 1

Maybe it can help someone else, I've spent 5 days testing different things and nothing worked until I tried this one. I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

The Ark.Vertex does nothing for me. I have been fighting this since Monday. They dont seem to care about the crashes

What is your error man ? c'mon give me more data.

[CarTrack]

1) Open your Steam Library.
2) Right click Ark Survival Ascended and select Properties.
3) On the General tab you'll find Launch Options section at the bottom.
4) Enter this under launch option:
-dx11
5) Close the game's properties window and launch the game.
6) Create your Character and when done click Create and then click Spawn.
7) Press ESC key and click Save.

You will be able to create the character and play the game but it's very laggy.
So you will need to remove the launch option -dx11 and start the game again.

But this time you may crash so you will need to apply other fixes.
In my PC I manage to fix the crashes by entering the Console (tilde key) and typing this command:
ark.VertexCountScaling 1

Bro this worked for me, after 4 days of struggling to load in to a game i thank you good sir

[US10Billy]

Same here, I've verified the game files and reinstalled it and it still keeps crashing. I run a non-dedicated server with my buddy and we have no mods installed. A couple days ago it was working perfectly and after a patch update these crashes started to appear. Here is what the error message says:

Attach the debugger now, else press OK to continue.

Fatal error!

You could start with telling us your System....

Steam - Help - Systeminformation, copy/paste the info
