Hi All, I am posting this on my nephews behalf, we 1st tried it on a really under spec’d PC and it ran horrible. So I upgraded to a 10700K z490 Motherboard and we have 32GB RAM we are using a 1080Ti but in both cases the FPS showed were 10FPS on both older and newer CPU.
Now The Reccomended specs for the Ascended are a 10600K which we have a 10700K OC to 4.8ghz. The 1080TI is a little step up from the minumum which was a 1080 but I would have expected the FPS to jump up a bit with the newer CPU?? I even have everything off and runing all settings at LOW.
Now, is the Steam FPS counter bugged in Ascended as when I ran it without the overlay running it seemed to run a bit smoother but still not too good.
I did try turning off fog and clouds with the water layers also but it still does not run too well especially when inside the jungle…
I been reading the forums and I seen a post with some user that had a 3080 and it still ran terrible… now I know this is early access and all but this game should run a bit better then it does currently…
So are we doing something wrong or is this game that difficult to maintain decent FPS??
And I understand about specs and all and we should get a new GPU but if some one is having issues with a 3080 something is terribly wrong… is it the UE5?
so is it the FPS from Steam not working well with Ascended or is this game just not optimised? I really fail to see why this newer engine would run so terrible…
Yes, we installed Fresh drivers after uninstalling with DDU. well it did not seem like a slide show persay but damn close…
I will check to see if there is a FPS counter in game bar. Also without the Steam FPS Counter it seemed to get a bit better I think the overlay does not work well with ARK Ascended…
EDIT: OH man I just had a horrible thought what is the PCIe slot is borked I need to get back over there andcheck my nephew is not beeing to helpfull over the chat…
I’d install another game, test that and, if it works? Not the PCIe.
Another alternative option? ASA could be badly optimized. I got the original Survival Evolved back in 2015 and oh my god it was an absolute gong show. It was REALLY badly optimized.
I probably can’t help any further, but I am reading “Ark runs worse than Starfield” types of comments around the place so that might have something to do with it…
Well I read a bunch of comments and since I was unable to post on the Steam forums because I don’t own the game I decided to put a couple threads on some other forums…
But I was able to read some reviews and it seems from those posts and a few posts from other users about how awful ARK ascended is on the PC I just gonna chalk it up to a early access game in bad shape…
But since I just changed the motherboard and cpu on his PC I wanted to make sure the parts were not defective… as I only had until june 6th to return the mobo…
All is well as COD ran just fine which makes me feel better about what was wrong, turns out it was ARK Ascended…
I just can’t believe it’s got to the stage where a 1080 Ti isn’t enough to at least run games at Low settings … that GPU is such a champion it’s a shame to think it’s getting too old
I need to get back over there andcheck my nephew is not beeing to helpfull over the chat…
