Ark: Survival Evolved - Dinosaur MMO/Survival PVP funz!

Win 10? Found one person that claims running steam in admin mode caused games not to launch.

Hardly like you dont have the grunt to run it :/. Can you link your DXdiag here I cba to sign up to the ark forums to read it.
 
Right the app is starting but its crashing (not sure why you're not getting the look for fix option). Seems its common enough with that build of ark for someone to create a video to fix it.

Unfortunately the video is based around the compatability mode fix. If you right click the game can do you get the "troubleshoot compatibility" option?

Do your event logs have any records?

:p :D

I don't think the performance will ever be fixed for this game, it has been the main complaint ever since it was released... It is so bad that it has put me off the game entirely.

Shame as it is a fantastic game.
 
Have they fixed the disappearing dino issue yet? That's what killed our server, log in to find a backpack on a 15min timer, no dino and no log of dino dying etc.

Happened at least 20 times on ours to very high level ones too.

I found some of the settings from this site helped with performance a lot particularly the file optimisations for the Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini. The launch options to use shader model 4 and d3d10 made the graphics look pretty bad so I just used the -USEALLAVAILABLECORES switch but I'm not sure if that made any difference. With my 780Ti I went from ~18 FPS when I first launched the game to being able to average ~60 FPS with most of the settings turned up at 1440p.

The main bug that ruins it for me (I'm only interested in single player) is the way the dinos get stuck in the scenery. I'll be trying to explore the island with my tamed dinos following, turn round and find they're no longer with me. I'll have to backtrack until I find them and chop down whatever tree that's spawned through their body hoping that I don't kill the dino in the process. This makes exploring so painful that I just gave up.

The excuse from the developers seems to be that whilst the game is in Alpha the focus is on content development and that bug fixes will be implemented once the game goes to Beta. What concerns me about what could be a brilliant game is that it is supposed to be released as a finished product in June and they still apparently have not got to the bug fixing stage.

/Edit: I see the launch date has been postponed to "Holiday 2016" but I've got no idea what that means !?!
