Windows 10: Why does my computer continuously get blue screens of death whenever launching ARK Survival...

Hello, for the past few months I have experienced the blue screen of death when attempting to launch ARK, no matter which way I always get the same result.Having worked with a Microsoft support staff member previously to try repair the issue, nothing seemed to work.I have ran repair tools for the game, checked for any updates to drivers, deleted drivers and installed older ones / alternative ones.I am not too sure how to fix this, at this point I have given up trying to launch ARK as I always receive the same result.Does anyone have any suggestions or permanent fixes?

:)

Why does Ark Survival Evolved keep crashing off launch?

Hello,Hayden17

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with Ark: Survival Evolved. Game crashes can be caused by various factors, and troubleshooting can sometimes be a bit challenging. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. System Requirements: First, ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Ark: Survival Evolved. It's possible that your hardware might not be sufficient to run the game smoothly.
   
2. Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues and crashes. Visit the website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) to download and install the latest drivers.
   
3. Verify Game Files: If you installed Ark through the Microsoft Store, you can verify the game files for corruption. To do this, follow these steps:
   
   • Open the Microsoft Store app.
     
   • Click on your profile picture in the upper-right corner.
     
   • Select 'Downloads and updates.'
     
   • Under 'Get updates,' click 'Get updates' next to Ark: Survival Evolved.
     
4. Disable Overlays and Background Applications: Sometimes, third-party overlays and background applications can cause conflicts. Try disabling these and see if the game runs without crashing. At the same time, make sure to adjust the game display quality to the lowest setting and run it at the lowest quality to see if it crashes.
   
5. Check Event Viewer: You can also check the Windows Event Viewer for error messages related to the game crash. It might provide more specific information about what's causing the crash. Some players have reported that the game's corresponding path stores your crash logs.
   
6. Contact Support: If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may need to contact Ark: Survival Evolved's official support or forums for more specialized assistance. They may have specific solutions or workarounds for the Microsoft Store version of the game. Here is the entry:
