I tried running the ark devkit before the 5.5 update and had the same results. Uninstalled and figured I would try again now that it’s in 5.5. It crashes as soon as I get to the test map. I’ve verified files, deleted shaders, verified again. Switched to studio drivers from NVidia. Not much I can do if the program crashes the second it loads.
