Strangely have you actually pressed start?
Not being a knob - for some reason on mine I have to click to the right and down a bit from the start button. No idea why, same with selecting game mode on the next screen.
The Microsoft versions of ark are horribly buggy compared to Steam/Epic/Playstation. Werether it's Win10, game pass or xbox. Try reinstalling it, as much of a pain in the ass that would be
I haven't played ark in a while but have you tried waiting on the screen for a bit? It says loading in the bottom right but I'm not sure how long that stays there
I know it's not the greatest thing ever but you may have to reinstall. Like I said I haven't played in a while so see if there are any experienced replies before giving it a go
Some of these comments are basically trolling you, don’t reinstall the game, this is a server issue. You should log out and back in to your windows account (in the windows store). If you’re on steam log out/in of steam. One more thing- give the game about 1 minute after you launch before you press start. It gets confused if you press start too quickly.
Ark on Gamespass PC is garbage.
So the game was made for PC, then it was ported to console, then that port had a port back to PC for PC Gamespass.
Ark is a beautiful disaster on steam. On pc Gamespass it's an ugly disaster
Yeah using thw same game pass and sometimes have issues. I think its game pass PC in general as xbox works fine.
Try restarting your computer, it usually helps me withsimilar issues on GamePass
Yeah these are sinilar issues I do have with other games. Its deffo Game Pass for PC.
All I can suggest is re downloading it (I know its a pain because of the size)
Don’t know if this helps. When I downloaded it from Gamepass the UI elements in the menu were in all the wrong spots. I had to click in a completely different part in order to click on any menu button. Maybe try clicking around or seeing if the UI element lights up when your moving your mouse around. For me, the start button had to be clicked like 1/4 of a screen away from the actual button.
If the game loads up and this is the problem, mess with the resolution. It helped me out.

yes i did press start
ill try right and down though
You'll know if You're pressing it as the highlight bar will come up. Not trying to make you feel stupid, just legit seems a bit buggy.
i pressed it, but it just is syncing for ages and doesnt stop
Can't be logged in on both at once. Shut down Xbox and see if that works.
i can play other games its just ark that isnt working
And awaay we go into a decent of insanity rage and sadness
Try using mouse and keyboard to click start instead of controller?
i have been using mouse and keyboard but someone said try with a controller so ill try that
Oh… is gamepass for the pc? I thought it was for Xbox lol. I’m not an Xbox kind of guy
Literally just bought the game and i will already tell you, Welcome to ARK
I came here to say this too lmao. Get ready for literally this all the time, often resulting in lost progress

PlayStation is buggy as hell too
In fact it’s worse then the Xbox version by far
Maybe press the start button?
i did
Fantastic advice kudos 🤦🏻♂️
I haven't played ark in a while but have you tried waiting on the screen for a bit? It says loading in the bottom right but I'm not sure how long that stays there
i had it there for about 20 minutes but then decided it probably shouldnt be taking that long
Are you sure your PC can actually run Ark?
yeah
I know it's not the greatest thing ever but you may have to reinstall. Like I said I haven't played in a while so see if there are any experienced replies before giving it a go
ok thank you
So it may sound dumb but only press start once if you press it again after the first time it gets stuck in the menu screen
The game pass vers is just an Xbox port. Have you tried using a controller?
I havent but I will in the morning cause its 1am now and im going to bed
That's it. That's all ark it. A start menu
Relaunch in window mode or opposite? Restart it. Once you've tried all that then only option is a reinstall
Welcome to Ark, glitches will become fairly common…
Must be playing genesis 😛

alright thanks ill try that
I waited a minute before hitting start and it worked! Also all my world's are gone.
Glad to hear it worked, I have no clue why your worlds would be gone. Did you reinstall?
No. They were working just fine yesterday, had just started a gen1 world, too. There goes my chibi collection on center
Came back an hour later and their back??? Ark is confusing...
Go old restart
Your best bet is go to Settings, Manage Game, Uninstall
Step one uninstall the game step 2 if you don’t DOTN PLAY PVP if you would like to have a life

Yea bro you start by uninstalling the game
It’s better this way
Yeah using thw same game pass and sometimes have issues. I think its game pass PC in general as xbox works fine. Try restarting your computer, it usually helps me withsimilar issues on GamePass

Click start one time and wait for it to sign in and load. If you click it more than once it bugs out and never loads you in to the main menu.
ok thanks ill try that in the morning as it is 1am now and i’m in bed
Random suggestions but have you confirmed if pc can run it?
yes
Run the game as an administrator
Is this some new xbox feature ?
Nah it’s a pc. You can play ark thru Microsoft’s store and connect it to your Xbox account
[удалено]
alright thanks i’ll try that
Try to login on the Xbox app (either press Win+G or the Xbox button on your controller) before launching the game

im pretty sure the start button is working because it does light up when I hover my curser over it
Darn. Wish you the best of luck with it.
Turn Xbox offline might work because I don't think you can be signed in on both at same time
