Single player crashing on startup(fixed)
So after one of these latest updates there are a few mods that are causing crashes when trying to load into a single player world.

One of these mods is CG structures. I had to remove it and the game now loads fine. Shame because the mod is really good. Def. will download it later. On their discord site they hope to have it fixed next week.

Also hearing Super structures and Automated ark are having similar issues.

Your save is corrupt, look in your ark files there is an anti corrupt file save you can restore. If that won't work your have to delete your single player data.

My save was fine. After I removed CG structures it does not crash. They know this is an issue and are waiting on a fix.

I removed all the mods and problem solved. One of the mods is causing the problem. Install the mods one by one until you discover which one it is.

I ended up doing them four at a time till i found out which group crashed the game. then narrowed it down within the group.

It's a shame it had to be one of the better ones. CG structures is the port of S+ from ASE.

I also did it on the Svartt map so I didn't lose my stuff on the island map.

Nvidia GeForce Experience: Spanish: https://www.nvidia.com/es-la/geforce/geforce-experience/download/ or English: https://www.nvidia.com/en-in/geforce/geforce-experience /download/ offers the best Nvidia graphics optimization for your game. I don't know if AMD RADEON offers any similar advantage or not. It would be a matter of searching.

Once downloaded and installed, you need to access the application, click on your game and click on the optimized option. Ready, you can now run your game 100% optimized by Nvidia GeForce Experience.

I have tried everything. I deactivated all my mods. I deleted my single player saves. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game (currently working on 4th time) Once i get to the loading screen where you should be going to the character creation screen it crashes. I did optimize the setting in Geforce (without clicking any links) and I still crashed. I'm super frustrated at this point its been going on for 3-4 weeks with crashing every 10 - 15 mins. Prior to that it was crashing 2-3 times maybe more some days. Just want to be able to play the game.

Haters. All threads are the same error.
Because the error code itself is another symptom of what's not necessarily the same issue.
It's why I can't stand the people who spam error messages here without giving any more info.

There's no single silver-bullet fix, but there's a number of troubleshooting options.

After uninstalling 4 times and deleting my saved game. I was still having the same issue I started looking at the properties of the game on steam and weird as it is This simple thing worked.

Right click on the game in library list and click properties. On the General Tab where it says STEAM CLOUD turn that off. It is on by default for some reason. This will remove everything your mods, saved games, everything. However after starting a new game yesterday I was able to connect, create a new character, and play for about 6 hours straight (which I have never been able to do). Not sure why saving the game to steam cloud caused issues for me but it did.

Hope it helps
