AMD driver stopped working

[elQuejas onichan]

Hey guys i hope i receive a dev answer.
Since i bought the game i'm getting a lot of crashes due to amd driver (i tried everything but nothing worked so far)

I can't play like this :(

It's been like this for weeks, ever since aberration came out. You're not alone.

What is your video card and what driver version are you running?

I have a Radeon R7 370, just recently updated to AMD Radeon V 17.7.1. What would you recommend?

You're not alone, mate. AMD GPUs ♥♥♥♥ themselves, some times I run without any crashes at all, other times I'll get totally slammed with them. It's in definite need of a patch for it, although the devs seem to be back now so we can hope, I guess.

I have gotten this almost daily since i started playing ARK almost 2 years ago and i too have AMD vid cards. Researching my issues i found the best solution is to replace my outdated hardware. Than i figure i will be dealing with whole new sets of errors but hey its worth it right? XD

I had this problem with my RX480 8GB, what has worked really well so far was updating to beta drive (newest one) and playing the game in DX10. 20+ hours since without a single crash and running 20+ mods.

I've been getting crashes every 5-25 minutes after I log into the server since the switch to the Aberration map. My current GPU is: ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 580 T8G with software 17.12.2

If your problems only just started when Aberration launched, use launch parameter "-norhithread" and it should fix the issue. If they've been happening before then, it's something else, likely. Note: If you launch directly from the .exe using a non-steam shortcut you must add this to the shortcut or it will ignore the launch parameter! If you launch from within steam or using a steam-made shortcut, you can just add it the way all launch parameters are added.

I've attempted this fix before, it didn't make the slightest difference. Every time I leave my base, I crash. Every. Time.
