So… to save some time, I got a material pack from the unreal marketplace… added the files to ark, and launched it… low and behold … “Unreal Engine has Crashed and needs to be shut down”…
So… deleted the files, I exported the materials and textures… launched ark dev kit, imported the textures, attempted to import a material and yep… “Unreal Engine has Crashed and needs to be shut down”…
Any suggestions?
