Can't do anything after enabling Ansel?

[Yes, Your Grace]

Hey fellas. I have a bug, where I can't jump or do any other actions after opening and closing nvidia Ansel overlay.
Anyone else experienced this?

How do you open Ansel? Is it possible one of the keys you press to open it is also bound to an action in game that opens a text-box, which makes it so you're typing instead of moving now?
I'd make sure ansel is up to date if it's causing these problems. Also, you say any other actions, but have you tryed clicking back into the game? Sometimes when I do something else and then I get back to my game I need to click to get it to start listening to me again.

Well, my Ansel is on default Alt+F2.
"I can't do anything" isn't completely true - I can move around with WASD, but can't jump or harvest stuff.

Okey dokey that's even wierder.
I'd try and see what happens if you alt+tab out of the game and back in right after.
This just sounds wierd though, I'd check and make aboslutely sure that ansel is up to date and that your machine is supported by ansel.
Also, the overlay does go away completely, right? Nothing's left on screen except ark?

[Yes, Your Grace]

Well, alt+tab doesn't change anything.
All drivers is absolutely always up to date, and my machine is well supported by ansel (1060 GTX).
And yeah, the overlay completely goes away.

Googling it only gives 1 relevant search - a bug complaint on official forum with the same problem :D

I've never used ansel so I really have no experience on this, but I'd just not use/it turn it off until it updates again if it's doing this. Not sure what else to do.
Actually, did it ever work properly before?

[Yes, Your Grace]

I'm not sure about before, on prev. rig the game was running like crap, so I didn't even dream of Ansel :D
Gotta contact devs, I guess.

did you try unplugging your computer, and plugging it back in?

Yeah, even tried unplugging my house from city electric grid, and plugging it back in - didn't help :D

Same happend for me. Since months without any bug fix. Only WSAD is working.

It's a Ark bug with Nvidia Ansel start parameters from the game launcher. If you start the game normally all is fine and the keyboard (and every shortcut) is working.

I hope devs are looking in to this annoying bug and fix them!

My singleplayer game works 100%, untill I open alt+f2 Ansel. Then on returning I am no longer able to sprint jump and many more. I thought it was conflicting keys, but after changing key bindings around I found that isnt the case. The commands to jump and what not do not work, while the keys themselves work just fine with movement binds. (Bind forward movement to spacebar and jump to w)

The whole reason I wanted Ansel was to capture epic moments during regular gameplay. Unfortunatly all the actionshots will have to be completely staged. Even sprint jumping on a raptor will be a one shot try before having to restart your session to be able to sprint again -.-

I found a video of a guy who can sprint after taking several screenshots.

El video esta subido el 9 de septiembre de 2016; es viejo, el problema empezo a suceder hace poco.

Otro problema que me sucede aparte de saltar es que se cambia la camara a primera persona y es imposible cambiarla (yo juego el mayor tiempo en tercera persona)

Probé usar el gamepad (xbox 360) y ahi si funciona saltar y todo lo demas


The video is uploaded on September 9, 2016; It's old, the problem started happening recently.

Another problem that happens to me apart from jumping is that the camera is changed to the first person and it is impossible to change it (I play the longest time in the third person)

I tried using the gamepad (xbox 360) and there if it works jump and everything else.

Thank you for the infomation. That is dissapointing. I discovered that I can regain the use of my controls after dieing. I am going to test fast travel now to see if that resets it.
