shadowkyuubi Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 People with Nvidia GPUs (especially RTX cards) we all have been experiencing many crashes and hard crashes where it would lock your PC up. Finally Nvidia fixed this issue a short while back and I have been passing this out to people that I know have an RTX card. but this drive has a fix specifically for Ark https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4789?linkId=100000005609593 so far except the normal Ark issues this driver has been solid, hope this helps@SprAYer0 @BruceYale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I had this BSOD/crash to desktop issue for ages with our 2080's on certain maps, but maybe 3 weeks ago we got the latest nvidia drivers and have not had a single crash or BSOD since. Did they maybe fix it? or have we been really lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they maybe fix it? or have we been really lucky? Did you play with max settings or low shadows? And it seems like the crash is caused by an old Unreal Engine version and not by a Nvidia driver issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icaruscomplex Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just installed that driver update for my rtx 2070, no luck. I still get the d3d crash after about 2-5 min of logging in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that does not work, you could try the launch argument -dxlevel 81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemcrystal Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 This is a hot topic. I do not have the newer nvidia graphic card but you know my pc will die eventually and may end up with it. I know of hundreds of people who cannot play Ark but bought it because of this specific issue. On a side note WC might want to care a little more about those Linux people as well.

nevcairiel Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Contrary to what people try to tell you, ARK is still suffering from this issue and no amount of verification or driver updates are going to help. So far WildCard hasn't even bothered to acknowledge it, as far as I am aware. The good news is that there is a decent workaround that doesn't butcher your graphics quality, and has resulted in a 100% stable game for me on a 20-series NVIDIA card. Quite simply, venture to the graphics settings, and set "Terrain Shadows" to "Low". This was all I had to do to get the game perfectly stable. Any other settings can be on Epic or whatever you prefer, just that one should be Low. The impact on graphics quality, in my experience, is extremely low.

Hauke Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I have the latest Nvidia drivers and as of 2019-10-22, no more BSOD with RTX 2080 ti on TheIsland. It only took them a year. (FWIW I'm playing at 1440p with every graphic setting on EPIC and cranked to highest possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally took down a few Island bosses with my buddy. I've been through caves, been underwater, ported into and out of Arenas. Flown on argents, wyverns. Graphics are still cranked (especially shadows). No BSOD once. There was one really weird error message that ark gave me saying it couldn't access something, but it only happened once, and it didn't cause the game to crash it just minimized me temporarily. Steam shows me at 183 hours over the past two weeks. (I should probably cut it back a bit...) Looks like they fixed it on 10/10: (source: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/388254-pc-patch-notes-client-v3007-server-3007/) Version: v299.27 - 10/10/19 Fixed an exploit Fixed an issue with rare BSOD (blue screen of death) occurence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
