UE crash, Display Port/HDMI Crash
For the first week of release, game ran great aside of server issues. As more updates happened, the game became worse. Unreal Engine began crashing the game, and now, after the latest patches and driver updates... the game crashes not only to UE but now shuts off my Display Port. I switched to HDMI hoping it would fix, nope, shuts that down too. I can still hear the game, just cant see it. So I have to force restart the PC.
Now, before you assume, I have a 3090, all drivers are up to date, as well verified game files, and other updates are current. This ONLY happens with this game. Every other game runs fine.
i've even took all graphic settings down to medium, forced D11, turned of DLSS, put it in window mode instead of full-screen, did all the necessary console commands... and it does nothing. I play for a good 10-15 mins, then down. Restart PC, log back on, game 5mins, then down again.
What gives? No matter what I search and try online, it doesn't help. It cant be my PC when everything else works fine, and every other game doesn't have this issue.

As ARK is resource-critical (no matter because of optimization or whatever else) so it consumes all your system have and asks for more, thats why it behaves not like other games and so unstable for now. Anyway, what You mean by shut down port? If OS crashes at any way - see windows dumps for more details, if just port become unavailable - lookup at windows logs for exact driver exception.

Apparently the issue is running the game in fullscreen or windowed fullscreen. Changing it to windowed fixed all UE and Display Port/HDMI crashes. After 3 days of pure hell, it was a simple fix... my goodness lol
