Crashing Bug since Fjordur Update !
I play with my son v2.79 -v2.80 in
LOCAL Splitscreen Co-op on the PS4.

We have many crashes on the Fjordur map. Fisrt thought randomly but now we know exactly when it happens.
Everytime the 2nd player dives into the sea on the middle of the map where the lonley house is and the sakura-tree or sometimes when you enter a cold area.

It seems that it has something to do with when the 2nd player cause a screen-weather graphic effect from being underwater or the blur effect when very cold.

We never had this on TheIsland or Scorched Earth or anywhere else.
Not if game crashes because of ark-update or the fjordur-map itself.

Please fix. My son and me love to play ARK together and fjordur is a beatuful map.

1. You mention PS4. Steam and PS4 can -not- crossplay so I have to assume you mean when you and your son are -both- playing on PS4.

2. Issues related to PS4 crashes are best asked about on the official Ark website forums specifically for the PS4 or on the official discord's similar section.

yes i know. but i could not post it there in a quick way. everywhere fkn signup procedure.
thats why i did it here.

later this day i recorded the gameplay and when the crash occured on ps4 i used the option there to report the bug and added a gameplay video to the report.
i hope it helps

we tested it many times.
as long as only 1 player full-screnn nothing happens.
BUT as soon as splitscreen the game crashes when player 1 OR player 2 enters specific underwater areas like the littkle sea in the middle of the map.
and sometimes when game wants to show UI Effects like very cold weather blur.

thats what we found out so far. but seems only on fjordur map.

So on PC too? Now that is interessting. And also bad news.
We gave up with the Fjordur-Map in coop. Sadly no update fixed it.
My son played the map alone then. We started Extiction-Map together and no problems there.
