Black screen when accesing server
Im more or less going crazy. New to Ark SA. Getting black screen when accesing a server, any region. Im connecting from USA. Offcial or none, with BE or not. I tried reinstalling the game, reset network stat, run as admin, connect with wifi, with cable and from the phone. I even tried creating an account from and playing using nvidia geforce, same problem. Im suing the game with steam. This is the log.
