FrostByghte Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 At least the driver notes have the problem listed now with issue 2453173. So that's something, I'm not sure it was in the previous driver notes. Least it's on their radar...right? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the usual loading location. When I installed the game on a fast SSD, the time of freezing was greatly reduced, although their number remained the same. That is, these freezes do not refer to the problem described above, although they are similar to it. Actually they do, 99% of these freezes have a corresponding entry in the systems log files, where you can see them for yourself. Which have a drive D3D Device being lost. 12 months ago this was the number one cause of crashes, since then we now get this BSOD instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, that we won't get any kind of fix for this game at all anymore. The new project is ATLAS, why support the "old thing"? Really disappointed. I think, it is time to abandon this game for good, because if they really wanted to, they would have fixed these problems already. Just to be clear, I'm only stating my own opinion. Atlas is Ark code, therefore there will be a time when Atlas will experience this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That freezing is totally different to the freezes that the GPU experience. 99% of the time the freezes of the GPU you can't even switch applications or move the mouse. The freezing you are talking about you can certainly still move the mouse and you can even switch to another application that might be running. To know for sure whether the freeze is due to disc access (which has been there from day one and especially noticeable when entering caves), is to view your event logs and check for yourself. But I am afraid the freezes you are talking about are not the freezes I was mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roccog Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 With 417.71 drivers no BSOD anymore with my RTX 2070, but i've noticed frequent framerate drops. At lest no after 2/3 hours of playing, usually I had BSOD after a range of 5-40min. > I noticed that these freezing "without a reason" do not relate to the problems of the video driver. I have freezes when I exit from jungle or ice cave on ragnarok. With GTX 970 were less frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before even on medium it would crash quite soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joanna Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 This happens to me all the time on a GTX 1080 with any driver post 399, so I just use the 399 drivers, no BSOD. Not any help for the 20XX players but some help if you get it on a 10XX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roccog Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Never mind, no more BSOD but screen freezes after some hours the first time then after you relaunch the game freeze after some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxisnipes Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It stops the BSOD side of things for me, but game lasts a little longer and then crashes with no BSOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyks Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Still freezing. Always happens when I'm about to cross from Redwoods tothe Swamps biome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dize1990 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 same here always in the redwoods and swamps. Extinction map works perfectly. All other maps freezes or crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruWrecks Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm not getting any crashes yet with 417.71 but I do get pauses like it's trying to crash and recovers. This is happening every couple of minutes to every few seconds. This is happening on all core and modded maps that I have tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruWrecks Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I reported this to Nvidia so they can test further to improve the driver performance even more. Hopefully that will solve more than just the RTX issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jejeow Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I do not know if I was lucky today or if the problem was solved but I did not crash once today. Can someone tell me if on your side it is solved? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanT Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 RTX 2070 - Driver Ver. 417.35 & 417.71 Just tried to play the base version of the game again (TheIsland) and got a freeze (no bluescreen, just a freeze - i could tab out and kill the game - no Bad_Pool_Anything). Tried again, worked for about 15 sec and got a freeze again, this time WITH a Bad_Pool_Header Kernel-something (I think everybody knows these errors better than their significant other, thanks to ARK ...). Really disappointed (mostly because I couldn't refund the GPU, seems like "unplayability of a game" is not enough for a GPU to be refunded (was expecting it, but still ...)). Heard ATLAS has the same problems. Doesn't feel like these things will ever be fixed -.-. Ok, finishing the rant now. TL;DR: RTX 2070 with 417.35 & 417.71 - freeze and / or crash - no change since 2018 - game still (nearly) unplayable - Map: TheIsland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamueL125 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 This is strange, but after installing update 417.71 I turned on all the shadows and played 1080Ti half a month without problems, but yesterday and today the game crushes twice in the winter biome on island. In this case, there was really no BSOD. Bravo NVIDIA! You turned off the BSOD, but did not fix the problem :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruWrecks Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I stand corrected. The Ark Dev Kit crash 5 times in the last 2 days immediately after loading the landscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have been saying for months that it has not been fixed on the 1080ti, I can go days, weeks without the crash and then out of nowhere bang it will crash. Also this BSOD is also a part of the Device D3D being lost issue over 12 months ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKnight88 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hello I have problems with my video card geforce rtx 2080 gigabyte the game crashes every 15 min how can I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaculity Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 People with this graphic card are having this issue as well when they are running the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamueL125 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 So, from now on, I will not follow every new driver, I just turned off the landscape shadow and will enjoy the game. I know this will not fix the problem with the game code and driver, but it will fix the problem with 1080Ti, because without shadows of landscape this card work without crashes. Looking at how the Atlas came out, I think the game developers have more serious things to do than deal with our problem. But I’m extremely dissatisfied with the work of Nvidia’s programmers - they could refine the driver profile for this game, as enthusiasts do this with the help of NVvidiaprofilinspektor to solve problems in other games ...
