Same deal here. Can't get it working on SP

it works just fine
You doing something wrong.
Are you starting the game with Ansel support ?

It only works in singleplayer

we had this yesterday :0
It works fine - Check what Ghost has wrote above.

Nvidia had some problems with the drivers.Some times it removes Ansel.
Make sure you install 3D Vision Pack with the Drivers.

I had a dev answer me on this.

You have to launch the game with the enable Ansel option, and you have to be in single
Player

For those of you that it's working for, what key combination are you pressing to activate Ansel?

I'm pressing ALT-F2 and have confirmed to be running ARK in Ansel mode via the right click menu in Steam, but nothing happens. Is there anything else I should install/enable?
TomHud™ Sep 8, 2016 @ 4:40pm 
nope ALT F2 is all there is.
Only other thing is - make u r booting into single player ONLY
and that when u booting game from steam right click and select Play Ark with Ansel

Yeah @Tomhud, I've done all that and ALT-F2 does nothing. Extremely straight forward instructions. Something's buggy, I think.

So finally got it to work today. Reset total conversion on ark (fixes a lot of issues btw) then launched with Ansel. First time it worked and other than the reset I did nothing different than I ever did before. Hope that helps.

yea i figured out it only works in single player, which is completly stupid. why not multiplayer aswell?

Because it pauses the world for your shot. Logical, but no less dumb

...Still not working in single player for me. I went and installed the NVIDIA Experience thinking it may help but that only gave me the ability to stream using ALT-Z (which is awesome, but not what i'm after...)

I also have been trying to use NVIDIA Ansel and to no avail.
I have a GTX 980, tried it via the Launch ARK with NVIDIA Ansel, also tried with -allowansel in launch option, all no go.

I will point out that at this time I do not use the latest driver 372.70, I had to revert back to 368.81 because their last to drivers keep crashing on initial PC start up (making boot time 30 to 40+ seconds longer than normal) and giving me a 1.3Gb dump file.

could the problem be just the driver ro something else ?
