Studio Wildcard collaborated with Instinct Games, Efecto Studios, and Virtual Basement to create Ark: Survival Evolved, a 2017 action-adventure survival video game. Players must survive being trapped on an island populated by wandering dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, as well as natural hazards and potentially aggressive human players. Although this game is popular on various gaming platforms, it has become famous on mobile too. Speaking of which, it also contains several glitches and bugs. One of them is the ARK Mobile Black Screen glitch. If you are facing this error too, we have it covered in this blog.
About ARK Survival Evolved: Mobile
The game can be played in third-person or first-person mode, with the open world being explored on foot or by riding a prehistoric animal. Players can protect themselves against hostile humans and creatures with guns, improvise weapons, and create bases on the ground and certain creatures. There are single-player and multiplayer modes in the game.
Multiplayer allows players to create tribes inside a server. Each server has a different maximum number of tribemates. All tamed dinosaurs and building structures are generally shared among the members in this mode. There is a PvE mode in which players are unable to battle one another.
The game was released in August 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux, with versions for Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch in 2018; a version for Stadia is scheduled for release in early 2021.
What is the black screen glitch in ARK Survival Evolved: Mobile?
The android and iOS versions of this game face many errors and glitches that are yet to be explained by the developers. One of them is the black screen glitch.
When you start the game on your mobile, the screen is entirely black and you see the stat bar and movement buttons only on the screen. This prevents the user from starting a match or accessing any data in the game.
There is officially no statement made for this error up until now.
