kernelbase.dll, crash when loading into a game
when starting up ark, everything is fine until i load into any server, then i crash and get this message : http://puu.sh/oH453/4c9c20e3b2.png

i have tried resetting game resolution, verifying game cache, deleting all mods.

any suggestions what to do now?

hey, I had the very same problem with the last patch

here is how to fix it: go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
open
engine.ini
change
r.simpledynamiclighting=1
to
r.simpledynamiclighting=0

at least the game now starts for me again, hope this helped

I opened my windowsnoeditor and that's not included in it. At all.
Waschbär42 May 5, 2016 @ 3:31pm 
what is not included? the engine.ini file or the line of code in it?

if the line is not there, just insert
[/script/engine.renderersettings]
and then
r.simpledynamiclighting=0

Please help I want to play this game I bought but I hate having this error I done reinstalled it three times verify the files that it never "replaced" or "download" the files that needs to be fixed

whatever......i hate the verifing crap steam have to offer it doesn't fix my problem.
I tried reseting the time conversion and had it on super low memory and yes I can play it on epic settings so its not my specs

Just lower your settings to medium or lower. It's a graphical issue so try lowering it to avoid to issue.

if the server has mods just uninstall the mods and install them again
