Textures flickering

[Tobbhert]

Hey. I recently noticed that sometimes if i stand still i can see that some/all textures is flickering between good and bad quality. Any1 got a fix/idea of whats causing it?

I5 3570k 3.8ghz turbo gtx 750ti stock and 16gb ram windows 10.
All settings are the lowest exept textures medium cus the map not rendering bug. 1920x1080 with 60% scale.

I noticed the same thing and fixed it by lowering some of my settings from epic to high, but I'm surprised ark runs at all on your rig.

Same things happens for me. Mostly on raganarok tho

I actually solved mine by lowering post-processing if I remember correctly.

nice gratz, yea im not sure raising was the thing, its more just a matter of 'adjusting' i might think
same for the Ambient Occlusion, it may just need to be 'changed' even if its put back later

but this is for a completely different issue, i just thought maybe they might be connected in that they both where a texture display problem, sometimes just playing with different settings will correct these even if thats not why they started

like for OP you might try changing the Scaling a bit, even if you put it back to 60% after, its possible its not doing this just right for w/e reason and again sometimes these can be 'adjusted' and fixed (very doubtfull for this setting, im just giving an example)

Havent seem to be able to fix it yet.. it doenst happend all the time tho. It happends randomly. Its not only on "huge gpu load" it can happend if i stand still too.

Ive got this exact same problem. It sorts it out after a validation, but as soon as you close the game and start it again it goes backed to retarded mode. I do find that when my textures work, my memory use goes sky high to 98% causing my game and fps to stutter. Now i know my system can handle the game because ive used the same settings for the last year or 2. I found this has only happened since they patched and released the latest DLC: Abberation.
Even if i play at 1080p everything on low settings, and i put textures at medium, my mem goes up crazy!! Its not my system because these are my specs:

i7 5800 3.2ghz
16gb DDR4 Corsair Dominance Plat
Asus 980 Strix SLI

Like i said, ive played ARK for years all on Epic settings, its just the textures above low setting thats causing the issue. Ive tried Google and no one has an answer, but have the same syptoms. Have you found any solution etc?

[Tobbhert]

i found out what was causing it for me, it was the DX10 and sm4 command that does it for me, as soon as i removed it. it stopped but i got way lower frames, and if i add them again i get better frames but the flickering starts after about 1 hour of gameplay.

I use a 750, I3, 16GB Ram I play on high settings 1080p for looks or for fps I play on medium 1080p. I don't know how I do it :P Also I play with 15+ mods... Yeah my PC is rather suprising how fast it runs ark for what it is.

Hi, I know that this is an old post, but for anyone who is still having the issue this might be helpful. I was able to solve this issue by turning off the low quality level streaming setting.

been playing for 4 years, finally made it to Genesis 2 and the texture flickering is awful, only goes away if I switch Texture quality to Low, when I've been able to play every other story map, plus Crystal Isles, Rag, and Val with High quality textures.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: GTX 1660. i've tried all the suggestions here:

turn off low quality streaming, lowering post processing, lowering ambient occlusion, etc

I *really* don't want to play this very pretty map with low quality textures if i can at all avoid it
