Hi everyone, 

 

I am nothing close to a programming person.  my friends told me to download Ark, as it's currently free.  when it FINALLY finished, i was hit with this error when attempting to launch.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Despite your looooong install time (yeah that is normal) - it looks like the install is corrupt - the crash is moaning about not being able to find a file (from the detail, probably some kind of graphic in the game).

You could have a did at "verifying files" for the game if you on steam. Otherwise I'm afraid it looks like a reinstall.
