The first Ark was pretty bad performance wise so it's not a shocker that this is bad too.

That screenshot is crazy. Only skimmed the link but does anyone know why these games run so poorly? Do they have some game logic hogging resources so Unreal Engine 5 can't do anything?

I'm guessing they are maybe using some of the experimental features that aren't very optimized yet.

Nanite and lumen seem to do pretty well performance wise now with the latest 5.4

But other than that there really shouldn't be anything hogging up resources. Unless it's just not culling/streaming things as much as it should. Idk.

I did apply to for a position for studio wildcard. Maybe I can see if I get the job. Heh
