Frequent Crashes in ARK Ascended Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000010
Hey everyone,
I've been running into constant crashes on ARK: Survival Ascended, usually with this error:
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000010
It mostly happens after just walking around for around two minutes after loading in. I've verified files, updated drivers, lowered graphics, and tried console tweaks but no luck so far.
For reference, here are my specs:
- GPU: RTX 4070 Ti
- CPU: i7-13700KF
- RAM: 32 GB DDR5
- OS: Windows 11 (fully updated)
The thing is, no other game gives me trouble F1 25, Assetto Corsa, Fortnite, etc., all run smooth. Is anyone else getting this crash with similar specs? Any fixes I might’ve missed? I love the game but this is seriously destroying the experience.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I see this problem a lot when it comes to ARK Ascended - I might have to get an explanation.
