Very low FPS
Since very first launch on my laptop I experience very low FPS no matter the setting(low-very high), usually around 20 FPS. GPU usage max usage 34%, CPU usage 50%. I've tried checking the files, running as admin, checking/unchecking all performance connected things in windows 11, reinstalling the game, nohing worked :/. I know that my pc is rather on the low end but I saw videos of people with exact same laptop having 60fps+ on every settings. Anyone experienced similar issue?

My pc:
- I5 9300h
- 1650 4GB
- 16 GB RAM
- SSD m2
- Windows 11

Check BIOS if your Graphics even uses the GPU and not the iGPU.

Thats what happens when you blow all your budget on an m2 and put it in a toaster..

gtx1650 is on par with rx570.. solid 50-60fps @1080p high setting
As someone else said, 4core is a problem. And laptop has the weak version.

Check the Requirements and adjust your settings:

Tried all of that, what's rather surprising for me is that the FPS in main menu don't go over 20FPS either on low medium high very high setttings, I even tried putting resolution to 1280X1024 (didn't gain even 1 fps)

Yes. That shows you have real issues. Most likely the system gets too hot.
Use a fan for better ventilation, it works well :)

i have a 2 core cpu the same graphics card 8gb of ram and on a 2.5 ssd and im playing on max settings without any issues 100fps

Update ur drivers and dont forget to restart ur laptop after that, use nvidia panel to make the game use ur dedicated gpu incase u have a igpu
other then that connect ur pc to a power charger dont play without it and monitor ur temps i guess
if all of this doesnt work idk sorry

CPU didn't get over 70C, GPU 55C at most, I use cooling pad and I'm pretty sure that this CPU can do better, if it can run for example warzone in 2K at 60fps I'm pretty sure it could handle lost ark at more than 20fps

Try this, your notebook should be fast enough. I tried Lost Ark on my old notebook - i7-3720qm@3,4ghz, 8GB ram, Amd 7970m (=desktop Amd R9 270) - and have on medium/1080p 50-60fps.

Edit: also check cpu/gpu temps and utilization with windows taskmanager, or msi afterburner

I am having the same issues game does not use more then 40 percent cpu and 20 ish gpu if i fix it i will update
Seaspite Feb 13, 2022 @ 3:22pm 
Not trying to be insulting but are you sure the game is recognizing the discrete GPU and not defaulting to APU?
keyl0ger Feb 13, 2022 @ 4:09pm 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxFOpgXkhEY there is some things in here you might want to try gl bud
