ashaman88 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 So, I've played Ark a lot over the years, but I recently took a 6 month break, only to come back a month ago to having regular crashes of Ark. It's the same error each time, no rhyme or reason to it & it doesn't fully copy the log:LowLevelFatalError [File:F:\build\GEN2DLC\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\RenderingThread.cpp] [Line: 653]Rendering thread exception:Full error:https://i.imgur.com/vuKr8nk.pngThese are the steps I have tried:- Verifying game files- Deleting and re-subscribing mod files (Also noted crash in a mod free single player environment)- Tried fully cleaning out NVIDIA drivers and re-installing- Fully delete uninstall Ark, re-installed- Fully re-installed Windows- Tried downgrading various graphic settings- Used PC monitoring tools to try and see if it was a hardware issue (didn't note anything significant)- Used GeForce to install latest driversI think that is all - I've tried googling and just can't seem to find a solution that works for me. And now it's crashing on Gen 2. It has no rhyme or reason - sometimes it crashes immediately, sometimes I can get through an entire mission no problem and play for an hour plus.

SarahMonette Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Your pc is sexy except for it's lacking in the ram a bit. You need at least 6GB of ram and 8GB is best. Idk if that is the problem with Ark for you or not but if you have a slot for ram it would not hurt to order some cheap ram sticks on Amazon snap them in there. In my pc there were two ram slots available so I put in 4GB into each to get the 8GB needed. Pay attention to size and model that work with your pc I wont do that research for you cause I had to already for myself and it was a pain in the backside. First time I tried ordered the wrong size was so sad. I think Newegg once had a free online tool that told you what parts go with your system idk if they still do. Good luck.

DirkInSA Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Ram aint the issue - you got lots! Have you tried playing an older map for a bit to see if its to do w the new release? Rendering is graphics stuff - so it may be an error w new textures or somesuch that released w Gen 2? 1070 is a fairly old card (just like my radeon R9 ) and maybe there is some stuff that relies on newer card capabilities. In the OLD days (like 4 years ago) adding these launch options to ark in steam / properties fixed a lot of crashes - maybe worth a try? -nomansky -sm4 -d3d10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellfireMaximus Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 this is happening to me too. i am able to play all other maps but this error would happen occasionally and weirdly on some specific areas without any specific reason but on gen 2 my game crashes on the character creation screen after selecting any region on the map pressing spawn button.

Happens on all maps. No idea about the card... it's strange though I was thinking maybe a driver problem or something since I've played for years without issue... Maybe this is a sign to upgrade my card??? I remember those old days too! I know I messed around with launch options from googling around, but let me try with those 3 to see if that fixes it. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellfireMaximus Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 i have tried all the launch options since morning even edited registry to increase tdr delay......nothing works.....on top of that so far on every forum post ive read players say only 1 thing. This bug is here for since the game released and no official fix since then. This happens on low end gpu's to high end gpu's (actually read posts with super high end gpu's listed with the same bug).

Sometimes I can get through an entire mission, sometimes the same mission crashes half way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meza Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I have this exact same issue on The Island. Ever since the Gen2 patch came out, the game crashes and it momentarily freaks out my GPU. All my connected screens blink, OBS stops encoding, etc. Only happens when Ark's running and throws the error posted by OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a crash since. I have considered this but really dont want to attempt because i dont know how to do it and never attempted underclocking mostly because im scared something might go wrong.

I just downloaded MSI, input those decreases, hit apply, then ran the game. Also always try verifying files first if you haven't done that already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
