Help: Fatal error message - Unsure how to fix
Hi there folks, I normally play single player with some modified server settings. The game starts just fine, but when I try to load my single player save it crashes to desktop with the following error message:
LowLevelFatalError [File:F:\build\Live313\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\World.cpp] [Line: 6368]
Unable to load world object headers from world save file.

I've tried revalidating my system files several times, each time it says that I'm missing two files which needs to be downloaded. However it hasn't seemed to fix anything, or even download those files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you all!

On similar threads, I've read that it can often happen when you overclock CPU and/or GPU. So if you set those to their default settings, you might have better luck launching. Alternatively some people have also suggested re-installing graphics drivers

It will always say 2 files need replacing or are missing. Those 2 are always updating from your personal game. Before messing with settings try using a fresh map. Move save files to another folder and try entering the game fresh. If it loads then its prob a corrupted file if it still doesnt load then your settings may be as Devious said.
If the above suggestions do not work, it might also we worth to delete the "maps" folder in Steam>steamapps>common>ShooterGame>Content

since the error mentions issues loading in world objects.

Most probably he suffered from a broken world file an used one of the backup files, ARK is generating on its own, to restore his world from one of those backups.

I did exactly this. I deleted my current world file and then renamed the most recent backup so the game would recognize it as the main world file instead.
