ARK Survival Evolved won't start - here's what you can do

In ARK Survival Evolved you start without food and clothes on an island where you have to make your way. If you can't start the game, there are different reasons behind it. To solve them, it is necessary to proceed step by step.

What can you do if ARK Survival Evolved does not start

When playing ARK Survival Evolved, you try to survive on a mysterious island. In doing so, you will encounter numerous challenges. However, when you start the game, you may encounter a problem. Therefore, if ARK doesn't start for you, or if it stops right away, there can be various reasons behind it. Proceed step by step and check after each point whether the error has been fixed.

1. If you want to start the game for the first time, first check whether your computer meets the system requirements.
2. If the game is already running in the background, it can also happen that the application does not start directly. Therefore, end the process via the task manager.
3. Uninstall the game of your computer and then install it again.
4. In addition, check your Internet connection and restart your router if necessary.
5. If ARK just then no longer starts as soon as BattleEye is started, check whether you can play the game offline. Starten Sie den Server gegebenenfalls ohne BattleEye.
6. Überprüfen Sie zudem, ob ein Problem auf der Seite von ARK vorliegt. Sind die Server down oder in Wartung, können Sie das Spiel ebenfalls nicht online öffnen.
