guys. i have the noobest question. I have a predator laptop ( acer ) with all the goodies. ark runs like crap. why? its acting if its laggy but its not. bad video settings?.

Use razor cortex memory manager.

 

[Simon Fung]

What settings? Did you try lowering the quality?

 

[Ryan Stevens]

To give you an idea. Normally when I spawn into a new game I get my memory working over time. It's 32gb gskill 3200mh

Long story short. Ark is a bitch

 

[Simon Fung]

I have a 3 yr old lap top i5 16gb ram and 2gb nvidia. I run high res but low quality. The fps is very acceptable. Could go higher but then everything looks shit.

It would help knowing what the specs of your Acer Predator are.

 

[Dale Hotz]

Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Notebook, i7-7700HQ, 16GB (1x16GB), 256GB SSD + 2TB HDD, 15.6inch FHD LCD, Geforce GTX 1060-6G, WiFi, BT, HDCAM, Win10 Home

I also run a desktop

AMD FX 8320 8 core
16gig ram
2GIG VIDEO CARD RADEON HD9700 or something

 

[Dale Hotz]

both systems should be more than fully capable of running ark on high settings. I can run almost any game on ultra on the PC. I really cant understand it.

As Ryan Stevens put it. Ark is a bitch

 

[Alex Escalante]

Is your internet connection optimized for gaming?

 

[Sam Embleton]

i run the same laptop but the i5 version and it runs perfect, i would be looking into your internet connection, you running 2 pc?? i run 3 and everynow and the i get bad frames or dc, thats with 200mb fiber

 

[Ryan Stevens]

Seriously guys it's just ark. Iv plateyed since it was ore alpha. The only time I haven't had a problem with it is within the last week due to my driver update. It's just a horrible game for running well.

 

[Jack Napier]

Actual specs would help a lot more

 

[Dylan Hud]

most likely something to do with power profile (you can set what video card etc is used) i had something similar i just swapped to max performance and problem solved

 

[Jack Napier]

Integrated graphics could be trying to run it to, if applicable too
