I don't understand why Wildcard completely ignore people complaining about optimizations in this game, here but also in Steam, the only PC platform where they sell the game, the reviews page is a blood bath. Not even a Twitter/X post to say that they heard players and will address those issues. I bought ASA in EA day one to actually support the studio, not played much because of immersion breaking perfs issues and when we bring feedback we're getting ignored. Don't count on me to buy any DLC nor Ark 2 if things don't change. I love this game, so sad things turned that way....

Hello, First of all I have to say I love your franchise, was already fan of ASE (900h into it XD) and bought ASA day one but I need to talk about certain points with Ark in general. If I make no mistake your working on Ark since 2014 so we can say almost 10 years into this which is fantastic and awesome dedication! You see me coming and there is a BUT in this story. You're capable of creating literally a masterpiece in survival mechanics but when it comes to optimizations all goes wrong, it's been 6 months now that ASA launched in EA and the performances are still so crap. I don't even have a potato PC, I'm running this on a 7900xtx, 32GB Ram and a Ryzen 5600 (which need to be upgraded I know but still very fine for my use cases and not bottlenecking) and the game just cannot maintain constant 60fps at 1080p whatever the graphic preset (at 100% resolution scale). So here I am 6 months later with a game I love but cannot really enjoy to play because of massive frame drops and stutters while withdrawing 400W+ of power when games like Cyberpunk 2077 run smooth on psycho settings with better visuals graphics but consuming less than 250W at locked 60fps 1080p... I know this is a problem since ASE and maybe you need to take care of it at some point, we all know UE5 can run much better than this. I really hope you gonna take a deep dive into it to finally give your game the optimizations it deserve. All that said, big love and support to the Wildcard Studio for all the work they providing giving us this masterpiece of a game <3 PS: Original thread on Steam (steamcommunity.com/app/2399830/discussions/0/4357871935586804098/)
