Lost Island Crashing My Game
I've never even used the map. I've unsubscribed, turned it off in my "manage DLC" and tried every way I can think of to uninstall it - including uninstalling Ark entirely and reinstalling it - but I cannot play ANY of my island because I get a crash notice before it loads saying something about and engine and lost island. Can someone please tell me how to get this hell-DLC off of my computer so I can play my game again? I'm so incredibly frustrated!!:

That error is not related with any dlc, that part of the error just have the same name as the dlc.
Where are you having issue to connect? single player? non dedicated? your server? other server? Any mods?
First, past the full error here, when you get the error, it will auto copy, just need to paste it here.
Next, list all the mods you use and in what order are you using them.
Also, post your system specs seen by steam: steam>>help>>System information

Thank you, Anubis - I will do that right now.

And I've been trying to log on to single player because I'm too wimpy for group play. :staxelCow:

So, I took all of my mods off and logged in just fine - THANK YOU SO MUCH, Anubis!!!

Now I will slowly add them and see if I can figure out what the problem was. My day is saved. :steamhappy::steamhearteyes::steamdance:

Also keep in mind:

1. Load order of mods can be a culprit.

2. Combinations of mods(not necessarily one) can be the culprit. Think on it like bad drug/medication interactions.

3. Dont use broken abandoned mods. Always look at the last date updated and other information provided on their workshop pages.

4. Sometimes crashes are also due to a recipe of your computer system with mod use with poor settings and more.
