Textures not loading.
I have noticed I keep getting a texture loading issue ,
Very rarely it doesn't have this.

I tried a lot of stuff to fix it. I ended up testing mods and maps and discovered only the
Thieves Island map does this with or without mods.
My computer tells me I have 40-30% ram free, I run off an SSD
and even tho my gpu is old it doesn't have any issues with any other games or other combinations of mods and maps on Ark.

Is there anything that might be the reason it does this?
It simply seems as if the engine isn't loading any textures correctly,
but I can't find a reason why it only does this with the map.

can you get me some information so I can help sort this out for you.
1,. can I get GPS coords where you are seeing this.
2. can I get screenshots as well.

Hey,
It's everywhere in the map.
From the moment I log in it just doesn't load the textures.

I tried logging in at other peoples bases but the problem remains.
Doubled my ram today, still the same problem.

I'm a bit lost at what to try next.


I have noticed, each time I verify my ark files it says there are 3 files missing.
No matter how often I do it. I can't find what files these are but still this only happens on this map.

Okey I have to add..

I found out this map makes Ark eat RAM.
It doesn't matter how much I put in my computer, it just takes it all.
When it's done eating my ram it starts using the free space on my ssd.

I guess I won't be playing this map until Ark stops doing this.

To add onto this, it seems it only only happens on Low Memory (4gb) Ark & doesn't happen on a normal Ark boot up. This is a HUGE issue to those that don't have 32gigs of DDR4 as Ark will literally consume all your RAM & give you a nice 3FPS if you don't boot in Low Mem.

yeah that has nothing to do with me and my map sadly...its a resource hog. most open world games using Unreal are
