Game crashes when loading into my single player world

[ming]

I'm playing on my local single player world and when I try to load into it my game it closes. the loading screen shows and it loads for a couple seconds and then the game shuts off. No crash window or anything the game just stops running. This started happening after I accidentally switched the power off to my PC immediately after saving the game. After turning my PC back on and loading up ASA the issue appeared. Please help I would hate to lose this world as I have a wicked mansion that I've spent many hours building.

Sadly i do not have a solution. Wish i did for you, but as you will eventually see WC/Snail do not care about the playerbase, they just want to sell you more crap in there game.

Eventually BALLS will slam his white knight shrill (shill?) into yer thread telling you to go upgrade yer PC to a 4090 with 128gb of ram and a 12 TB SSD. Even if you can run any other Unreal Engine 5 game just fine... you need to upgrade to a 5k-10k machine to play this game.

I had a similar issue.
What I did was to find this directory:
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArksLocal\TheIsland_WP (I have my games on D: may be C: for you)

From there, I moved the last files (anticorruptionbackup and three of the most recent files) to a temporary folder. After I did this and restarted, the game started again. Do not delete any files. just move them to a different folder.

Edit: You may need the files if this doesnt work, so keep them, dont delete :) )

I have PCs in that bracket. I can tell you. It doesn't matter. Particularly as the game seems to corrupt solo game saves occasionally. I have actually given up playing after losing two games after being circa 100 hours in each time. Until the solo game corruption issue is resolved it is pointless right now. I hardly ever get a crash since disabling NVidia low latency when I play.

yeah I'm holding out until some of these crashes are fixed for SP. I've gotten sick of trying to build my base and after placing a few things in and out of inventory bam crash.
I'll give it 6 months and try again.

since I bought it it had never crashed, it came in after the last patch and it crashed every 2 minutes, from bad to worse

Hi bro, I have the exactly same issue with my game, and dont want to lose my 50 hour SP world. Did you fix it? And if yes, how? Can you please explain? I have tried a lot of things that a saw on internet and nothing worked, the game still shutts of on loading screen (the globe) after a few swconds without crash screen or anything.
