Need Help With Assertion Failed Error In Singleplayer

[Silke]

The day before yesterday I started a new sp game on Rag. Everything worked fine. Yesterday I couldn't get back into the game no matter what I tried. The same assertion failed error every time.
So I deleted that game and started a new one. Again on Rag and again everything worked fine.
Today I'm trying to get back into this new game and get the same assertion failed error.
I have verified files, tried different launch options, removed recently updated mods, and checked my firewall settings.
Does anybody have an idea what else it could be?

[Silke]

I forgot to mention that it only happens with an existing games, creating a new game works without a problem on all maps.

1. Post a full UE4 error crash report.

2. Go to the steam help menu, click system information, and then copy paste all that here so we can see what steam detects for your rig and any potential discrepancies.

3. List all launch options you're attempting to use(hint many are broken and outdated).

4. List all mods you were previously using and in their load order. Note: removing mods doesn't prevent the corruption of a single player save, it can actually sometimes contribute to said corruption.

5. Just confirm that if you go to an official The Island server that you do not experience the same crash issues.

6. Firewall settings would have nothing to do with your playing on your own in single player and usually not induce a crash but just prevent connection to a server.

7. Are you using default in game play settings or adjusted ones(ie wild dino counts, rates etc)?

Start with those and lets see from there.

Tried launch options: From the desktop shortcut, from within Steam, from the Steam taskbar shortcut, directly from the .exe file.

My settings are not at all vanilla. I play with raised rates and edited config. But all those settings have been exactly the same for over a year.

I'll go get the error report and the mods list.

[Silke]

Must I really join official? Multiplayer is really not my thing.

[retsam1]

1. Make sure ark and steam are on the same drive.

2. Advanced rafts= broken and abandoned mod for 4 years now

3. Colstax has some commenting on crashes recently but in conjunction with overhauls mind you.


4. Just because you've used altered settings in game AND ini file changes before and in conjunction with mods in point 3 doesnt mean any minor or major update by the game or a mod would break them. It happens and each time its is something to be mindful of. Also updates can revert ini file changes so you always have to double check.

5. I told you to join an official server to test things. When you muck around with mods and settings you're not using default of anything. An official The Island Server acts as a scientific Test Control to compare to what you're doing with your other variables. If you dont crash there, it specifically means you've issues with your single player situation.

That helps narrow things down thus of course. Im not telling you to permanently play such a server. That'd be silly. Its just a diagnostic check only.

6. If you are using msi afterburner or nvidia geforce experience's ingame overlay(geforce experience alone isnt bad its just in game overlay) don't as they're know crash makers.

7. Again I cant stress this enough: each time wildcard or a modder updates their respective sides of the game, it can create conflicts with one another and with player made settings.... regardless of what you could do in the past. Most often we see this when a new dlc drops and modders mods get broken and they cant be updated until the devs update the devkit that modders use. We've in the past seen days/weeks go by with that issue.

All in all, your mod use is what is most suspect along with your changes to your single player iteration of the game. It is very possible that even with reverting everything back to default that it wont render your single player save playable and that its permanently corrupted.

You may have to come to the decision to simply start over with a new single player save. It happens but hopefully then you'll be more careful from there on. Also always make backups to help revert in some cases (not all) to avoid issues.

[Silke]

Thank you for taking the time. I appreciate your input.

1. There is no way I can get the Steam install and Ark on the same drive without reinstalling a ton of stuff. I have Steam libraries on several drives and redoing it all would be my last resort.

2. Yes, Advanced Rafts is old and I don't really need it. I'll clean it out.

3. I had also checked the comments on my mods and the Colstax issues go back to when eveything was working fine on my end. Not impossible that something has changed but maybe less likely.

4. Yes, I am aware of how updates on anything can break the game and I've searched all over the place for what might have caused my crashes.

5. Yes, I understand what you meant by joining official but since I have no problems creating a new game and playing it for hours without an issue, I will spare myself revisiting the old trauma of having once played official for three days.

6. The only thing I use from the Nvidia tools is Ansel and I have not used that either for some time.

Again, thank you for your response.

[Silke]

Update:

I had tried creating new games on other maps and knew it worked but I had not tested whether I could get back into the game. Yup, I can. I'll test it on a few more maps but I'm beginning to think the problem may be the Ragnarok map.

[Silke]

Last Update:

Just in case others encounter the same issue, yes, I think it is Rag. I've tested with the exact same mods and settings on other maps and there's no issue at all. Of course it is still possible that a mod only causes the problem on this particular map or that despite verifying I have a corrupt file somewhere but after having played this game for a long time, I have a hunch it's Rag.

[bloxeranima]

So there is no solution?
I have just played like 40 hours and now it is broke?
I just can say bruh

Hi, I had same issues, for me it was mod Colstax V2 caussing this error.
I only removed it and change to another similar mod, and voilá!!!, it's worked for me
Hope this works for anyone with similar problem.

[farmer joe]

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