So, it&rsquo;s always best to keep your graphics card updated all the time. There are three ways to do this. Let&rsquo;s go through them: <strong>Access the Device Manager<\/strong>If you find your  ARK crashing on startup , follow the below steps:&nbsp; <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Type  <em>Device Manager<\/em> in the search bar and click on the first result.

This problem can happen when running the game or the client in regular user mode.<\/p>\n<p>As such, we recommend launching Steam and the game with administrative privileges. Here are the steps:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If Steam is currently running on your PC, close it. You can do that by going to your taskbar and right-clicking the Steam icon. Select  <em>Exit<\/em>&nbsp;from the context menu to close the app. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to your desktop, then right-click the Steam icon. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select  <em>Run as administrator<\/em>&nbsp;from the options. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If prompted to permit the app, click  <em>Yes<\/em>. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Now, try relaunching ARK: Survival Evolved via Steam. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check if you can now play the game without it crashing.

Doing so will repair or replace problematic files.<\/p>\n<p>To proceed, follow these instructions:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Launch Steam, then select  <em>Library<\/em>&nbsp;from the main menu. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Look for ARK: Survival Evolved from the list of games installed on your PC. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Right-click the game, then select  <em>Properties <\/em>from the context menu. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once you&rsquo;re on the Properties page of ARK: Survival Evolved, go to the  <em>Local Files<\/em>&nbsp;tab. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select the  <em>Verify Integrity of Game Files<\/em>&nbsp;option. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Verify-integrity-of-game-files-1.png\" alt=\"Verify integrity of game files\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Let Steam repair the affected game files automatically.
