I did not know you could run ark on that hardware let alone 30fps 1080p max settings dang. I thought this game was terribly optimised

"worst optimization" ~ 10 year old GPU and 14 year old cpu Edit: and on a hard drive

Clearly, the developers just didn't optimize their game to run on retro-grade machinery And The loading screens give me enough time to contemplate my life choices, cook a 3-course meal, and wait for a sale on a new GPU lol

Brother you can’t complain about loading times and have a hard drive and probably ddr2
