Out of video memory error

[Taftus]

Hm when I though everything was working fine for me. After install the hotfix, game refuse to start. And now I have rolled back to latest (not Hotfix). Everytime I start the game, I get

"Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering......."

And game crash to desktop, it happens when I try to join a server, any server. I have put game to low and that did not help either, turned off Nvidia DLSS/Frame Generation, still nothing.

14700K
4090
32gb ddr5

any solution?
And of course it only happens in ARK, no other games I play have this issue.

have you tried rolling the driver back? I saw someone had some success with the driver around 437 maybe for the Rtx4k cards.

This one, 537.58?
Not yet I have rolled back to 546.17 and 546.01 but still the same. I will try 537.58 when I have finish re-downloading the game. I mean this is super weird, was having a blast without any issue with the game all day playing but after that "hotfix" now I can't even get to join a server.

I will let you know how it goes with 537.58.

Hm strange thing, after re-installed the game. I was thinking hey, lets try it at least and see if it ccrash..... It did not. And here I was ready to install 537.58

It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimized game. I have a RTX 3080 TI, and and even on low settings i only get 40-50 fps and a lot of stuttering! Totally unplayable for me. I love the game, so it's sad that i can't/will not ruin my playtime.

Yea I really want to love this game, since I played lots of old ARK. I keep playing even if it keep crashing. Now game just suddenly works after re-insalling it. I notice that if I Turning off foliage interaction and fluid interaction game no longer crash. Which is ashame since it really bring out the nature.

Mine is now doing this when I have ark and I open my web browser (Firefox). Did you ever find a solution?

If you got "out of memmory" Just configure virtual memory (swap file). Dont play with driver versions, cpu cores unparking, calling to mars or whatever. Game is fine in right hands. And no, its not CPU/OC.

Second that, configure your swap file, low 32GB max 48GB

Looks like post about You just have 4090))

Try to decrease graphics quality, it should help)
I understand that its advice not You expected but solution goes deep in mathematic calculations and You shouldn't say that in other games everything ok...
Other games haven't even 1/100 calculations of ASA

Whaat? I got 4090, 4080, what math? Damn, just change swap settings.
The only truth is that it may be internal hardware latency, desync and so on, but totally not it this case.
