[M1k3_C]

@;742098

launcher build, then the newest update over it.

Link to logs: https://www.mediafire./?lw45a5cv30ao4at
I put all the logs of all my attempts that day just in case.

Skorn and anyone else having this issue, follow the below steps:

1. Verify your build through the launcher
2. Open the ADK and navigate to Game/Maps/TheIslandSubMaps/TheIsland
3. Open that Umap and allow however long it takes for compiling
4. Once compiled, click the “play” button to load into the map TheIsland and wait (about 4-6hrs for 60K shaders to compile)
5. SUCCESS, you will be able to cook your mods once more without fatal errors.

NOTE: This compiling process only takes place once per ADK build version

I wanna hug you for posting this! Thanks alot

[Burgesssssss]

Howdy,

Not sure if everybody is getting this, but after installing V268.3 from Google, my ADK crashes when selecting the Event Graphs of custom DinoBPs. Opens as normal if opening a Vanilla Dino, but crashed on 3 custom Dinos tested.

Problem persists even after verifying from the Launcher and then extracting the .zip again.

Any ideas?

I’ve got the same issue, seems the class viewer is not set up correctly?

[edit] Figured it out: temporarily disabling your virus scanner when you extract the Dev Kit diff with winzip, 7zip etc makes all the difference. It seems the virus scanner heuristics flag a problem (false positive of course) when extracting…

Legend! How did you even discover this fixes the issue? lol

After 268.3 mine crashes constantly it always about a component of the file I’m working on. Is anyone else having this issue?

[Cronos2017]

just wondering if v270 dev kit has been released in the epic games launcher not sure how else to update new to it all

Hello there, totally new to dev kit.
Can someone explain what exactly means to “extract those files ON TOP of the Epic Launcher installation”?
How do you do it?
Thanks : )

Just copy those files to same directory and rewrite original files by them.

Hi,

[anyle]

I’m getting this error when I try to Update or Verify my ADK to 279.

 Install Failed
Could not set up permissions to install to:
C:/Program Files/Epic Games/ARKDevKit
Error Code: IS-0002-DP-07

I have version 271.9 installed from binaries copied over the previous Epic Launcher version of ADK.

Turns out this was resolved by remove and remaking broken symlinks to my installations.

Thank for the news

Is anyone else having problems cooking with the V276.4 update of the dev kit, when I cook the dev kit gets bogged down at the following stage…

This time it has been cycling on this for over 30 minutes (so far)

It will cycle at this stage it seems for eternity. Has anyone found this and sorted it or is it the dev kit or indeed my computer?

[Kotawolf]

I’m getting this, so are others.

Some of us are not able to COOK the mod because it repeatedly crashes. Clean install of the DevKit doesn’t help.
It is also taking me up to FOUR HOURS to get the PIE to start up, and before this update, it was taking 5 minutes for the same exact mod. Sorry, but this update is broken.

OK

[Kotawolf]

• It is the Shaders compiling in the background… you can find that in the Windows Task Manager, it will get past that, one of my mods that is normally under 8 minute cook time was almost 3 hours.

[Ferrat]

@** Kotawolf - Yes I found this out but not only does in do it once but twice, it compiles the shaders for the Windows version then recompiles them over again for the Linux version.

I tried this on a small mod of mine that usually takes 30 minutes to cook but this time it took a staggering 19 hours, I am hoping it is a once only thing and that consequent mods will revert to normal, I am checking that now.

Not looking good been cycling on the Display:Full GC just before the Linux cook for nearly 40 minutes. Now been cycling for 1 hour

Now been cycling on the same bit for 2 hours, It is now 4 hours cycling the same part which to me is proof that this update is broken without a shadow of a doubt.

So this is not a once only thing, if it is going to be recompiling shaders for EVERY mod you cook then it is a waste of time making them, no-one and I mean NO-ONE is going to spend 19+ hours cooking a mod.

Shame there is nowhere at all to report these problems to the actual people who put it out, maybe that is intentional, I don’t know.**

[FrozenKnight24]

i have the same Problem i needed only for a Mod Max 25mins for cooking , but after the Aberration Update unknow so i let my Pc over night powererd for cooking…

After 8 hour’s no result i canceled

I looked yesterday in the Task Manager the Task from Dev kit work by me with 8-12 gb Ram and after reach to full gc the second time the Point it come after few minutes “Job Successful” , but after the Update it is stuck on the Point and i wondering why…

I hope the fix it soon or call the Reason for this stupidity Problem…

[dreyn74]

It was not announced, but 278 is also on the Epic Launcher.
