Ark opening story graphics crash the game

I was trying to play Ark but the graphics after the opening speech were too laggy and kept crashing the game, much like the maze in the Gollux prequests and the event hall used to. I noticed most the people with issues in those areas were playing on a laptop/notebook, like I do. I hope this information helps in the future if this becomes a problem for other players as well. Please let me know if there is anyway to fix this, other than using a desk top computer, because I don't have one.

    I'm having the same issue, I tried changing my resolution and restarting my computer and neither worked.
    For the record i'm also using a laptop.

    The same thing has been happening to me as well, when trying to get past the opening story for the new class. Thought I may have been the only one with this issue. I hope they fix it soon..

    Same issue. Game crashes after intro cutscene every time. All other characters are fine, and I'm even playing on a desktop. Already tried making another ark, tried changing resolutions, etc.

    EDIT: Nevermind. I forgot I had changed my system locale, and changing it back to English fixed the cutscene crash.

    Update: it apparently is related to having your unicode (Control Panel -> Region -> Administrative -> Change system locale...) set to anything besides English(US). Mine was Japanese before. Hopefully this insight will help fix it soon, cause I'd prefer to keep it that way and not on English.

    Should make a separate bug report instead of hitch hiking on another thread.
