Stuck on snapshot 16

[Domoth]

Hey, Ive got a problem. so i have to play in low memory mode, but i freeze at snapshot 16 as i load in, and its just a crazy circle. I load all my mods then time out, so i retry and all the mods auto load but then i get the snapshot 16-error then i crash. And before you start saying " yeah me too" thats not what im looking for please only post fixes or replies thank you.

After clicking "Ok" on the error message it will auto-copy it to your clipboard. Right click and paste it here.

Also on the main steam window at the top go to "Help" then "System Information" and copy and paste the full thing here.

Have you previously been able to load in? If so, when did the problem start and how long have you been playing without the problem?

Is it in your singleplayer? if so maybe your world got corrupted and you need to delete the current save and rename an older backup file and try to load it again

Its a modded-server someone else runs. I was trying to get the error but ark shat on my laptop and it made me get the blue screen of death. it got up to 4k+mb of memory with "extremly-low memory mode" like wth, i was trying to get a screen shot to add on. I sat her for an hour trying to get that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ error message ( sorry im kinda pissed, not at any of you just 1) Ark and 2) my laptop ) Ill post my specs but idk if i can wast a whole nother ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hour of time waiting for this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.i cant even tab out when im loading in, and when it "crashes" my laptop goes as slwo as molasssis in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ blizzard. I almost got into the game then it went white and froze then it started shatting itself. so idk heres my specs hopefullythat helps us figure out something, stupid ♥♥♥♥..

There's ur problem #Alienware xD

All jokes aside though. Sounds like a possible overheat problem which wouldn't be suprising on a laptop.

I would suggest grabbing OpenHardwareMonitor and tell it to log the CPU and GPU core temeratures to a text file. then let it crash again and check the log file to see if it crashed with either of them above operational temeratures.

If the temeratures are not getting too high let us know and i'll have you send me the memory dum from your blue screen so i can analyse it and see if it gives any clues as to the cause of the crashes.

Also, try single-layer or an un-modded official server and see if you get the issue there

Ok... from reading the specs, It LOOKS like you're using your CPU's integrated graphics instead of the GTX 1060? Also yeah... Alienware...

I believe in windows 10 the OS automatically uses the integrated chip, but once a DirectX heavy applications runs it should automatically use the dedicated GPU.

Easiest way to test this for the OP is to set in nVidia control panel for it to show the GPU indicator in use when a graphical application is opened.

My boyfriend understood what you said and switched it over to the GTX 1060, so well see what happens.

Also, i verified myf iles because someone told me screenshot-16 happens because of files integrity. well ive done this before and it removed my mods folder, but it did it again, could that tie into all of this?

Hmmmm, possibly, though i don't think file integrity checks should remove the mods folder unless they have changed the way that is handled now.

Have you tried going to the Ark workshop, un-subscribing form all the mods, making sure the mod files are deleted from the mod folder within the main ark install directory and then re-connecting to the server and allowing it to re-download them from the start?

Deffinately try single player/un-modded though and let us know if you still get the crashes.

Make sure they are deleted and unsubscribe from them then try again.

Can it run ark? Yes.

Can it encounter issues if a player doesnt use the proper hardware settings, in game settings that their hardware is limited to, abandoned or broken mod choices and more? Absolutely.

Even if you got a more expensive rig but failed to follow on appropriate settings and mod choices and more, you'd still potentially encounter issues. This thus is just your necessitating to just follow through with adjustments and being mindful of what you have and its all good.
