HoboNation Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I think this is a problem with the new Valguero map. I have had this happen to me aswell, it seems to stem from when it transitions to night time and the back to day time the gamma goes all wacky. Restarting the game seems to solve the problem, but it is really annoying have to do that, and it isn't a permanent fix, it often will do it again at some point. EDIT: so no it isn't your GPU or your pc it is an Ark problem on their end, not sure if they are even aware of the issue yet. But I can confirm this exact thing has started happening to me when the new map released and a friend of mine. We all have different GPU's and specs so I very much doubt it's related to that.

Mert66 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Ive had that on some other maps then Valguero too, you should try to verify your game files again. Hope that fixes it for you this time. (It did for me atleast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogero Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Interested to see if anyone has a fix for this. Had this for at least 6 months after some updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milsurp Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It's not your GPU. It's a bug when transitioning from one area to another, there's different lighting in the two, and something goes wonky in the change. You can sometimes fix it by going back and forth until you get the right lighting, but it's fairly rare for the fix to work. For me, it's fairly common on the Aberration map in the blue biome - I think transitioning to the Luminous Swamp area does it most often. It used to happen commonly on Extinction but then they patched something and it's mostly fixed, but can still occasionally be triggered when leaving a biome.
