f*ck you wild card

[Miko]

i have a PC that cost 6000 bucks and i'm crashing every 5 seconds in this stupid fking game, it's insane that in 2024 to have a game like this, how could they dare make me pay for this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game when survival evolved was 100 times better, f*ck you.

I think everyone seems to forget that when ASE came out, it was god awful to for mid and low range PCs and barely ran on high-end PCs until after about a year. ASA is good but you need a good computer to run it and if you spent $6000 on a computer and it continues to crash then you need to looks at multiple things from DirectX, to DLSS/FSP or whatever. But for a $6000 PC you should need to even run either of those...

Good luck with the game...

If you don't remember they shut down every Official Evolved surver forcing people to either buy Ascended which they had previously promised to us all for free or just stop playing. Sorry to be a Richard Cranium but comments like this piss me off because they are just condescending nonsense, considering the history of Ark over the past 5+ years and the constinuous broken promises and shortcomings from Wildcard.

This game was rated as the worst optimized game of the year on some sites that test games so this guy does have a reason to be frustrated at the terrible performance and constant crashes. As I write this I could be playing but every time Wildcard pushes out a new patch they are too stupid and lazy to actually test their code before dumping it onto the world. I am a Software Quality Assurance Engineer by trade and if a developer pushes bad code to the repo breaking everything too many times they get fired from almost any dev job. Wildcard pushes broken code to the end user almost every time they make a patch or update. That means the issue is far bigger than just one or 2 devs.

They also originally pitched Atlas as an expansion for Ark then broke it off to a separate game. All they did was shut down official servers on ASE...Who the hell actually plays official servers?

We all agree Wildcard bad, but Ark too good to care Wild Card bad so we buy Ark 1 Ark 1/2 and will buy Ark 2 if ever released.
Either enjoy the game or don't.

But to the OP I had the same issue on my PC, the problem was frame generation and DLSS, just turn those off and it will not crash. My wifes brand new computer can run it on Ultra no issues, she had the same exact issue because DLSS and frame generation were on. Volumetric lighting was not the issue but did make the water look scary as ♥♥♥♥ to swim in compared to mine having it turned off.

Your post was helpful though and not just bashing someone for being frustrated with having their game crashing. I agree with you on the fact that we keep playing it so it is something good. Also I played official even though it was toxic until they shut down our servers and lost all our bases. The issue I have had on unofficial is every time I get built up the server gets shut down because someone gets bored or tired of spending money on servers.

I have gotten to the point where I play fibercraft because you can have fun for a few hours and then not play again for a couple weeks or month and not lose anything. Hopefully they will get the unofficial servers working before the weekend is over so we can play. I work a lot so I don't have a ton of time and it seems like they always like to break unofficial right at the beginning of the weekends I have a bit of free time.

How exactly did they "make" you pay for this. Take some personal responsibility. If you enjoyed evolved why did "you" "choose" to buy this?

Their point still stands. Nobody forced anyone to buy it, saying they shut the servers down made people buy it is just a lie. People bought it cause they like the game. They bought a game they knew was still being developed in a new engine. It's going to have problems. That is why it has an EA tag. They could have easily stayed on Evolved.

I have a $2000 pc everything runs fine too, but yeah WC needs to optimise their ♥♥♥♥.

get a tech to look at it its your pc

[Bloodstormz]

WC needs to stop with the stupid ♥♥♥♥, like adding content when the game still doesn't run like it should, ALL Building pieces need to be nanomeshed and get rid of LOD's Completely., this should be FIRST PRIORITY over all else.
its insane im playing a Alpha access UE5 game with better graphics and runs 1000 times better with 160 frames at max settings. Seriously after seeing how SCREWED up Evolved was and unable to fix it because of all the content. WC's incompetence is mind-blowing they cannot learn from past mistakes, perpetuating the same stupidity. Dino's still have the retarded mid body collision sticking heads through structures, Still takes forever for giga sized breeding pens to load, still has the same failed and ignorant structure foundation support system that prevents AC sheltered Breeding for large dino's. `WTB common sense for 200 Alex.

I only paid one penny for my PC, and I run the simulation in which you and all your Ark-running computers exist in. You can barely notice it is a simulation.

The update on June 27th caused wide spread issues across the board. I have a 4080 super and had all setting to epic with little to no crashes ever in 800hrs on asa until that update. Having read many solutions suggestions pertaining to forcing direct x 11 with steam game command -dx11. However having ran prior settings on epic that looked potato quality and was unplayable imo. For myself I've found that the crashes were somehow correlated to my foliage quality and/or view distance. When those two setting were reduced to high from epic setting crashes no longer occurred while flying, fast travel. Again everything worked prior to this update on epic and with what I've read of others having the same issue I've realized this Is a affecting many people since the June 27th update so rest assured you aren't alone. It's the same one plaguing high and lower end systems causing them to crash everytime they go to open the game and has been speculated to be a dlss/ direct x issues with arks optimization.

P.s. idk why you all are talking so much ♥♥♥♥ about homie spending more on his pc than you. Who cares. His point wasn't that he spent more than you or he was better. It was that he's not impeded by system hardware and yet the optimization is causing an inability to play a game he paid for. Have you not had any issues with WC "optimization" lol. I love ark and will continue to play it, however do i appreciate poorly optimized updates that hinder performance requiring server rollbacks or patches to repair what was supposed to be a fix? Absolutely not. Not a fan of doing a full system check, driver rollbacks, game file verifications etc all in an attempt to unsuccessfully fix a problem caused by a release of a poorly optimized patch which caused some players to lose the ability to play and other like me having to lower visual quality to make it crash free as prior to there "patch".

[Hellzy]

this guy must have gotten already built system. my stuff runs fine. 4070 super and 14th gen i9, DDR5 32 gig. maybe about 3k or so on mine. but yeah. only had drop visual settings just a tad for me an gf to play together, now i further up that very fast CPUs can cause issues? i thought that only few games had that issue. or is it tied to all UE5 engine games? bc i know that my CPU runs higher then 5.2ghz, looks like my highest speed on CPU is 5.7

Hey, if there's any issues, we can blame Bjelar's computer!

I built my computer for $800 about 7 years ago, put an Intel A770 in it recently and it runs pretty consistently 30-50fps, at the best of times. The worst of times is after patches so I tell my computer it's not it's fault, it will get better later on.

[psionprime]

For my nVidia 4080 super system, I turned off DLSS and frame generation. Only a few crashes here and there with errors involving losing the device at a low level. My AMD 7900XTX system has only crashed twice with ASA. As a side note, Nightingale uses UE 5 and I've had only the occasional issue and it was not graphics related. So, you know, maybe WC can hire those guys to fix their graphics ;)

[Boomer]

haven't had any issues with ark in months, dlss and framegen aren't an issue either. mind you the only things i have active on the system are steam, rgb control, cooler control and default windows stuff. so not much to conflict there and cause issues.
