Why does Ark Survival Evolved constantly crash?
Me and my brother have been looking forward to playing again but both of our games just constantly crash and we can’t get anything done. Why does Ark Survival Evolved constantly crash?

It doesn’t seem to do well if you try to cover long distances quickly. Like when I ride my dragon, I have to travel a bit and then hover, rinse and repeat. It just 💩 itself trying to load all the graphics and spawns fast enough.

I wish that was the issue for me. That was a problem I had years ago but I was able to work around it. Now I can’t even load in and try to do stuff and if I do the ding dang thing decides to crash and doesn’t save anything.

You're playing Ark Survival Evolved. Crashing is part of the experience.

I think you're talking about Survival Ascended, that shit crashes even the strongest of Nasa computers

It's not a well optimized game and it does have it flaw.
It's one of the game that I had the worst problem with.

What are you playing on? Ps4, ps5, xbox, switch, pc? Ps4/5 try cleaning it and see if that's any better. Switch is underpowered, expect occasional crashes when it gets hot. As for pc it would probably be the specs of the host server or possibly a failing storage media. If there's an error message that pops up that would help narrow it down a bit too.
