Fatal Error Valguero Single Player
Everytime i load my single player valguero map it crashes on valguero_dino_spawn section before i load in and i get a fatal error read out. This happened after multiple cave crashes. I have tried deleting valguero dino spawn files and re verifying with no luck. I have also taken out the last 3 save game files to see if they were corrupted but its the same crash. I have tried loading into singleplayer extinction and it works perfectly fine. Please help.

What about when you join an official Valguero server

It moves past the dino spawn loading bar onto the the far and nears, then loads me in.

Backup your save folder ... then delete the character profiles and try again

Doing what i suggested will nail down or eliminate if irs a corrupt character file.
Ominous Oct 6, 2019 @ 9:35pm 
I know brother, im not ignoring you.

H:\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Valguero_PSavedArksLocal

LocalPlayer.arkprofile
LocalPlayer.profilebak

I deleted both of these and it still crashed at same point with same error code and did not replace these files either (i have copied them back into the folder)

Only other suggestion ive got is to run a dedicated server and play SP on it.

Do you have the Valguero DLC installed?
Ominous Oct 6, 2019 @ 11:28pm 
yeah valguero is installed
Ominous Oct 6, 2019 @ 11:57pm 
ANSWER: So it was a corrupted save file. The file Valguero_P.ark is the latest save file(i thought it was ones with the dates only). I fixed it by deleting Valguero_P.ark and renaming the latest save with date in the name e.g. Valguero_P_06.10.2019_47.57.45.ark to Valguero_P.ark

thanks everyone for the help.
How to I access the save files? I'm having the exact same issue, but cannot find where the save file is for the map. (I am quite aware that this is now 6 years after the original post, but this is the only one I can find)
Post #6 has the file path for you. It just may be on a different initial drive, not H: drive. Look on the drive on which you installed Steam, or if you have a separate location for your Steam Library files, look on that drive instead.

Also, feel free to make your own thread asking for assistance if you need to...most of the regulars here are helpful and will give you whatever aid they can.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
