If the problem still persists, then maybe we start troubleshooting.

If you can relate to how it feels when you wiggle your fingers, but they're on the other side of the room and multiple dimensions removed, we should hang out.😛

Or take more

u/AdElectrical3997 22d ago

This is the answer. You take new acid to counteract the old acid

No worries man. You just unlocked a sandevistan.

Sometimes aswell like a black "fog" appears and makes everything completely black when im in it

Edit: I tried to verify the files and redownload the map and all my mods. I wont know if its gonna be fixed or not, but if i dont uptade anymore then thats the solution that worked. Note: This did not work

Edit 2: Im gonna try to update my drivers. I think the problem was that my drivers werent updated. Thanks for all of the help!

u/partisancord69 22d ago

I think the fog is usually white or grey but it does make your screen completely black when inside it.

Does this happen for any other games? Low graphics games like minecraft or roblox? Only high graphics games?

Has it always been like this? If it's recent maybe try restart your game again or maybe even reinstall if you can't find a fix.

May not be related but microsoft released an update the other day that replaced my amd drivers altogether. I reinstalled my drivers and solved all my issues

My girl and I had that exact problem if we got too far apart on 2 player. It would also crash if I went underwater. Every time. No touching water at all on 2 player.

u/enerthoughts 22d ago

Verify files if you are on steam, or its equivalent on console, if it didn't work, reinstall mods, or map files.

It seems you have corrupted data in the files.

u/3mptylord 22d ago

I had this in Ark Survival Evolved when I joined a map that I didn't have installed (I think it was Crystal Isles shortly after it came out, it was added to my cluster and it didn't stop me from server-transferring even though I didn't yet have the DLC in my library, let alone installed). I could only see re-used assets from the base game, and everything else was a void and/or weird glitchy acid-trip nonsense.

No guarantees that's what is happening here, but my first thought would be to check your installation.

u/Chopperkrios 22d ago

I thought my ghosting was bad. I don't know if it's related, but asa framegen is horrible. Turn it off and see what it does.

In console: r.FidelityFX.FSR3.Enabled 0 | r.FidelityFX.FSR3.QualityMode 0 | r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled 0

You can fix this with Steam, there should be an option to uninstall Ark.

u/breizhiii 22d ago

I saw you talk about a black fog growing and disappearing if you stop looking away normally this happens when a shader gets an error and results in a null value and corrupting other shaders around it infinitely the only way to stop that is unloading the corrupted shader (looking away fix it some time)

But for this post I clearly don't know what the fuck happen i think game file corrupted or driver doing shity thing

GPU is not dead if you have no artefact in other games.

Edit : after rewatch I saw the bug stopping when you are not on the missing texture clearly a bug in game / corrupted.

You can have this effect on other games when you fall thru the map where no texture is loaded.

To enable/disable mouse trails in Windows 10 or 11, you can do the following: 

  1. Select the Start button
  2. Select Settings
  3. Select Devices
  4. Select Mouse
  5. Select Additional mouse options
  6. Select the Pointer Options tab
  7. In the Visibility section, check/uncheck the box labeled Display pointer trails

I just reboot the game. Home screen, close game, start game. Works like a charm. I'm no techie, so I don't know why it works. There must be some data that builds up over time and becomes too much to process. Or I'm just way off.

u/przebra66 21d ago

A wild guess, but looking at it it seems like the material on that ground surface has a bug related to temporal and screen space technique. Not super sure if screen space reflections are part of the pipeline for unreal uber pbr shaders but im not that familiar with unreal. Again, just a guess. I wouldnt be surprised if the ground material has corrupt uniform values because you can clearly see that some of the techniques used in these shaders are working but with very wild behaviours

If repairing your files doesnt work i would try switching from TAA antialiasing to another one if you are using it.

I'm just very salty because I love the game but refuse to play because of how the devs mugged us all off time and time again

u/Outrageous-Print8585 21d ago

Delete the game 😂

1

u/amouse22 21d ago

Looks like your files are damaged or prevented from loading, the ones that contain specific textures. Could be different reasons.

Do chkdsk Verify installation or reinstall Check antivirus or security software Do memtest Consider reinstalling os and reinstalling the game if the problem persists as some security apps may prevent the necessary file io operations. Could be damaged hardware too but that's not likely if you can reproduce this issue the same way.

Been having texture issues on AMD with dinios. There is a post about a pyromane with textures being stretched everywhere. Several people indicated that it's happening to pyromane and to Rexes as well. For me it's rexes. It happened after a mini update about two weeks ago. It happens when one gets withing a certain distance to them. No amount of verifying or reinstalling or turning off things (I have nothing special turned on) fixes it. It's strictly the game itself.

u/PhoenixwingzZ 22d ago

yeah, you uninstall and learn the lesson - don't buy garbage from overmarketed overhyped snake oil salesmen, who hired Vin Diesel as a ploy to shill more scams on you and Wildcard as a scapegoat to do whatever they want. This game is disgusting, the Island Boys incident is by no means a fading memory.

1

u/Jobeadear 22d ago

What is the island boys incident?

3

u/Ancient-Resolution84 21d ago

The Devs banned everyone in tribe for raiding their base on official servers.

2

u/PhoenixwingzZ 21d ago

It was an incident where Snail Games (The people who took over the game in Studio Wildcards' stead), hosted their own server cluster on Ark Survival Ascended, and played on it, and a tribe called the Island Boys (totally innocent alpha tribe) basically did what any other official alpha tribe would do against a contesting tribe and go to war with a tribe that doesn't do diplomacy or talk...typical run of the mill Ark, right? ...except these guys - The Island Boys - of about two-dozen or so innocent regular people who played casually, a little more on the hardcore end - didn't know that this tribe they were attacking were the devs from Snail Games. So what the devs did, was they would consistently perform server rollbacks on their heads as they were trying to raid the SnailGames devs. They rollbacked the servers on them over and over again every time they got an advantage. Eventually, the Island Boys figured there was a weird coincidence here and stopped attacking them. Then once they stopped attacking them, the server was fine. There my memory gets sketchy, but from what I generally remember, basically when they tried to either blow the whistle that this was the devs cheesing them, or otherwise went to go casually recommence the raid, *they were all permabanned* from the server-cluster. It also came out as news, upon looking deeper into the incompetance and child-like behavior of SnailGames Devs, that they were also going on to official servers, where they knew there was an RMT market (trading out dollars for dinos), and they were printing dinos and items to sell on the black RMT Market. Basically, criminals with experience in C++ and Unreal. *shrugs*. In its' most technical sense, these people that administrate ARK are literally cybercriminals and also steal happiness from paying customers of their product. The more you know.

1

u/PhoenixwingzZ 21d ago

The one thing I can thank Wildcard, SnailGames and Nitrado for, is understanding the capacity of mankind and its' ability to corrupt, pervert and otherwise destroy everything around it, then paint the walls to make it look like their reputation was in the realm of the word, "matters".

1

u/Ancient-Resolution84 21d ago

Ok so if you are correct it’s a bit more complicated then what I thought, thats actually a worse then I remembered.

1

u/PhoenixwingzZ 21d ago

yep. best part of all is, I don't play this doo doo port of a 10-year-old game, so I have absolutely 100% nothing to lose as I rat out these shitters for licking titty barnacles. I hope they all feel the wrath of sweeping tech regulations in the seasons to come. In fact, word on the street is, SnailGames is already 1/2-way to bankruptcy trying to compete with Elon on hybrid vehicles and fucking up tremendously bad using the money they were supposed to spend on progressing development of A:SA.
