It's so crazy seeing a full sized character, I'm used to these little dwarves holding huge spears or crossbows

[@EmAndGames]

yeah its so dumb they didnt put a limit to how tall and smal you could make a character i would have loved to see everyone looking somewhat normal at least same size, they did the movement speed to lvl the ground for everyone but they should have done the same for the how small you character can be, again this studio makes lost of dumb decisions its so sad when you think they could be so much better if they comunicated with people and listen to all out ideas, its just money to them

[@UberWarrir01]

@Em.2121 I really hope they fix it because your literally almost the size of a dodo at the smallest size

[@EmAndGames]

nah its almost impossible to fix it now, they would need to roll back rewipe all servers for people to make new char? unless they can somehow overwrite their existing ones tho i doubt, one thing they could do is nerf them, such as they can carry less or everything weights a lot more in their inv or something, and that would be the only way i can see it but i doubt again they care enough.@@UberWarrir01

if u go very low setting u see some decorative stones around ground. mostly the ones that are not harvestable, seems to be floating around, but that's just due to low graphic setting removing some of the foilages and meshes xD

Turn fluid and foliage interaction on, then the 3 multipliers below it set to 0.5 and the rocks stop floating.

Yea but the 4090 is probably the only true 4K GPU. 4080 doesn't struggle with 4K but you'll get like 30-60 fps on max settings. A lot of things come into play though like bottlenecking or how well optimized the game is. 4090 is expensive af but worth it because it makes unoptimized games look smooth.

[@chrispphunt]

Looks great! I am playing it on a more modest system and even on 1080p low it looks much better than evolved ever did even with the settings cranked up ..... Fairly stable for me too using conservative settings on my CPU/GPU as it does push both very hard! So consoles will not find it easy without more optimisation.

[@surpriseraisin5892]

I spent my hours playing Ark on the lowest settings, lowered the resolution and would be stoked if I got a consistent 20fps. The contrast is wild, I never imaged Ark could ever look like this

that walking sound while walking inside the swamp bog is soo realistic lol. Although I do love how the world looks, lots of little details should get addressed.

[@Maru7en]

@masteroak9724 the devs used thier cry engine (devs made cry engine I think) (crytech) but it had a weird reflection thing where they were all messed up looking at certain angles etc. it was probably optimizer specifically to run on console for more money, the design was like placeholder everything, placeholder animations, etc. extremely basic in every regard besides graphics in the engine, pretty much pretty foliage but the world didn't seem believable, just dino models floating on a terrain map with stat numbers is what it felt like to me. this at least seems more organic but still stiff and awkward for a "next gen" title amd how much money theyve made

[@Maru7en]

@masteroak9724 things felt inorganic with how you can change every parameter with damage, lvling etc and the default also didn't feel right either, progression was weird and I kinda didn't like the level system etc. takes out the wild feel and doesn't help get immersed just felt like crappy borderlands

You shouldn't need a 1,000$ GPU for this tho. I paid like 600$ for my GPU two years ago and I can barely run this game on medium. Wildcard needs to step their game up, this is an old issue. They haven't even got the original ark in a playable state yet, with the under meshing and other things performance takes a back seat but it's still an issue.
