Other frequent errors for ARK: Survival Evolved on PC
➡️ ARK: Survival Evolved Download Stuck at 99%
This issue happens because of the Steam Overlay, the game download is complete but the Steam blocks. Other players reported that they downloaded a new update for the game and that they are stuck with the game patch downloading and they can’t do anything. To fix this issue follow the tip below.
Workaround: You can fix the download stuck issue by clicking Cancel and you should receive a Successful Download message or you can restart Steam. If you encounter the download stuck when you are trying to get an update, the best solution is to restart the Steam client and download that update again.
➡️ ARK: Survival Evolved Crashes with Fatal Error
Every time you launch the game you might get a Fatal Error and you are unable to start and play the game because of this issue. Apparently, a new version of the game, 247.81, suffers from this issue too. The game crashes after the loading screen is finished and it will send you back to your desktop.
Solution: It’s pretty simple to fix this issue. Go to your local content folder. Here right-click on your game and go to Properties, under the local files tab click Browse local files. Then you should go to Engine>Plugins> Runtime> OculusRift> and here delete the oculus rift file in that folder. This should fix your issue.
➡️ ARK: Survival Evolved APPCRASH
This is a classic issue that can be fixed by changing the compatibility mode of the game to Windows Service Pack 1. If you don’t know how to do that follow the workaround below and it should fix your issue.
Workaround: Right-Click on the game executable in the Steam/SteamApps/common/ARK: Survival Evolved folder and go to Properties. Here change the compatibility mode to Windows Service Pack 1.
➡️ Ark: Survival Evolved Loading Screen Issue
Probably because of the last update players are facing an infinite loading screen when they try to join a server. They are unable to play single player too.
“I know that I am not the first person who is complaining about this, but I have paid money for this game, and I can’t even play it. I am stuck at the loading screen like a lot of people. Please help me, guys!”
“So how long does this game load? Because I’ve been sitting for more than 40 minutes, and it’s still loading. If you tell me, that would be great.”
Solution: This error is now fixed with the last game update. If you are still encountering this issue make sure that you updated your game.
➡️ Ark: Survival Evolved Random Crashes
For some players, the game crashes when they try to start it, when they try to connect to a server or when they are playing the game and getting random crashes constantly from 10 minutes to 10 minutes.
“I finally have been able to enter the actual game, for about 5 seconds. Then it crashes, or exits to the main menu, and then I can start all over.”
“Tried joining a server, even local, and through the loading screen the game crashes. I’ve looked into the save log location. However, every .log file is empty.”
Solution: You need to change the compatibility mode to Windows Service Pack 1 and restart the game. If this won’t work for you try updating your latest GPU drivers.
- Fatal error crashing, if you encounter this issue follow the tip below from a Steam user to fix it:
The first fatal crash I experienced I had steam do a local file check and it found 6 files that needed replaced. It replaced them and the game loaded but in the options screen it crashed again. I went directly to the .ini files that are located at
<…>\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.iniHere I noticed that the default resolution was 1600×1000… an odd resolution that I have never seen before. So I altered that to my native resolution of 2560×1440. I then noticed that the other 7 of the 8 ini files were blank so I copied them over from the CleanSourceConfigs folder in the Config folder. I then edited my keybindings in the input.ini.
After doing this the game has run without crashing for 4 hours. I think that odd resolution may be the source of some peoples issues. Note: after playing and checking those .ini files they are all blank again except for GameUserSettings.ini and input.ini.
➡️ Ark: Survival Evolved Game Won’t Start
This is a common error of the game too, when you begin the game nothing happens, and you can’t enter the game. You click Play in the Steam Library and simply the game won’t start and you can’t do anything to start it from the Steam interface.
You can also try to run the game in compatibility mode:
- Right-click ARK: Survival Evolved shortcut and choose Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check Run this program in compatibility mode and choose Windows 7 Service Pack 1 from the list.
- Click Apply and OK to save your changes.
- Try running the game again.
- Another fix might be to run the game from the installation folder. Just go to the folder where you installed ARK and Run the game executable in Administrator Mode.
➡️ Ark: Survival Evolved Low FPS
You can fix this issue by changing some options in the game, and it will run smoothly at 60FPS, see how to do that:
Solution: Enter the game menu and go to options, now drag the resolution scale to a minimum and you should have a constant 50-60 FPS.
Try to reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables:
- Go to ..\steamapps\commmon\ark\_CommonRedist\vcredist.
- Run all the installers that you have in that folder to reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables.
- After you’ve done that, you start the game and check if the issue has been resolved.

When i start local my game crashes and it says something like cant load some female clothes does this fix that?
play male character
it seems that has a story, it’s like Dying Light but instead of Z we have D
Kind of remind me Para world and stomping land in first person.
I’d like this game a hell of a lot more if there was some kind of faction you could join where the sole purpose is to defend the more innocent dinosaurs from being used, killed, or extorted by the humans.
form a tribe around it. it’s open world.
Innocent Dinos… lol
This game is kind of amazing.
is this game available in the UK because I’ve been looking on steam and it doesn’t come with a buy option
It’s on early release and yes, it’s there to “buy” on the steam page. There’s a button right there that says “Add to Cart”
My game wont even install……
Hi, my game will download to 97% then it freezes my computer I have all system requirements so what is wrong steam maybe?
And I am now downloading it again, it took 9 hours…
Could it be your internet, or location? I live in the states and downloaded the full game in 15minutes.
Hello I have an error with the Ark, pressing play on the steam did not open the game and appears like I’m playing 20 seconds after it is closed, any solution? please
love your starcraft icon btw (A-Mike)
wait how do i fix this. It says “Shooter Game has stopped working”
I will play the game (and enjoy it a lot, everything works fine until I crash) but after like 1 minute, the game will crash and say something like “video drive has crashed/stopped working. Check if your video driver is up to date.” I have no idea what a video driver is and I sure as hell have no idea how to check if it is up to date… pls help me.
What video card do you have? To check go to “Start” and search “dxdiag” enter this application and go to “Display” and here you will see your informations about your video card.
uhhh. I recieved this pc from my Korean friend and when I try to search something from the start menu, it says No results for everything…
also, I know very little about pcs in general other than they’re fun xD
would redownloading the game fix this? I don’t mind having to wait again because the download wasn’t long

Hi I don’t have AMD or NVIDIA. I run the game on a small little laptop and it works fairly well on a low traffic server and on low graphics. I dont know if possible but maybe it would help other people out there but could you run compalability on your program with intel graphics as well? If not then its ok just I would like to play the game XD as my 300+ hours are just loading into an infinite loop. I do not have money to buy a gaming computer or to upgrade. Was just checking if possible Thanks <3
Sure, it’s possible, our team will look into that and find a solution!
How can I get help, downloaded ark survival game, it gets to the stage where you can select single play ect but takes forever to load after that. Nothing happens. My son is devastated
Hello, just windering if there is a reason my computer would just shut its self off when i try playing ark. My husband never has this happen on his computer just mine and it has never happend while doing anything else. It doesnt really crash but just shuts off.
im having the sameproblem did u find a solution
Im really enjoying the game and hope we can find a solution.
I’m having issues with my computer hanging for 2-5 seconds in game. and then randomly freezing the computer. I should be able to run this game in high detail. Having to restart my computer every 15min-1/2 hour is really a bummer. my specs are:
Windows 10 Home 65-bit
AMD FX-9590
16gigs ram
Nvidia GTX 960 x2 SLI
4gig Vram
150 gig ssd boot
2 tb raid 10 array.
All my drivers are up to date. Bios newest version. I can run Mad Max at the highest settings with no issues at 60fps. I’m usually playing with my son on LAN and initiate as server. He says he doesn’t have any lag/hang issues. I’ve tried playing single player and I still lag and crash.
Finally i can play the game!!
Halfway loading single player and it crash and something like this come out. Can it be fixed?

So, I was trying to join this server, it has about 12 mods on it. Ive played on it tons before but everytime I tried to join. The screen would go black for about 2 seconds then it would have the leaving screen. And then it would say I timed out. I dont have to problem with any other server. I validated my files. Deleted all my mods then redownloaded. And I think everyone on the server has this problem because no one is getting on and there are usually atleast 12 people on all the time. Can someone help me? Also I managed to join once but it timed me out about 15 seconds later

Don’t fall for the Scam they are trying to pull on you with there so called patch. They want you to complete a offer which is a scam you can never finish.
Sites like this should really be taken down there not helping people only trying to make money off people.
So Again this is a Scam do not try and download there so call Patch which I would guess if you did get through the offer which for me was impossible. That the file you would download is a virus or Trojan.
having issues on xbox one once i select server it either goes into loading screen with game tips which it keeps showing the same tip as if its stuck but anyways either it goes to that screen then into black screen as if game is gonna load but stays on black screen or it force closes once black screen hits after loading screen with game tips which every attempt it still only shows the same tip.. havent been able to get into any server since update 7/1/2017
Why when loading does game stop at snapshot 10
Your local saved files are corrupt when you leave Ark you must exit to their menu before closeing the app not close app as most PS4 users do and Ark will have to realise this one day. Why did you ask the same question as the post above?
