Ark Screen dividing into 4, need help!

[talihashi]

I'm not sure what's going on here, but my screen flickers between what you see in the screenshot and full screen. I did just recently double my ram, I wonder if that could cause this issue. Messing with my resolution and screen settings hasn't helped.

Same. Sometimes restarting my PC helps, but it's a roll of the dice. My system is perfectly healthy, and it's very frustrating.

Well hopefully someone can help us resolve this Fenrirsson, as of right now it's pretty unplayable. Resetting my PC hasn't worked for me yet.

Never seen this before but could be a driver issue in that some settings are conflicting.
Things I'd check if I were seeing this
-Make sure game is in full screen
-Check image scaling - Nvidia Control panel
-Verify monitor refresh and resolution
-In game main menu, reset graphics to default then tweak settings (make sure scaling is 100% when done)
-check for updates Windows, chipsets, bios, SSD, etc.
-If you think it's memory related, check the bios. Make sure timings aren't using an old XMP or EXPO profile

From the image it seems the screen is rendering at lower than native resolution and not stretching. If the above isn't helping, search "game in lower than native resolution not upscaling" or something like that. My guess is it's been seen in other games and has a fix

What fixed it for me is i validated my files in command prompt and it fixed it right away just do a clean up and a scan now and you should be OK. And the commands are very easy to search up and make sure you run it as a administrator.

Yep! Seems to work the majority of the time.

It does have a full screen though, it just flickers between the two.

Unfortunately none of this has worked for me. I appreciate you guys giving me things to try though.

It was a frame generation issue for me but it was doing the exact same thing.

It looks like turning off Super Resolution did the trick for me. I might try some other types to see if that's the only working option.
