VSync
After introducing the FPS limitation, please add Vsync in the settings. Simply turn it on/off in the options menu. Because the tearing is really annoying.

That was the case already with ASE. Really that option should be there by default. Its basically in every game. At least in the mean time you can enable it through the Nvidia/AMD driver for this particular game.

you shouldn't even be using in-game vsync, it's heavy and less thorough than nvidia's fast sync.

i'd make sure vsync is off (on anything but high or epic presets, it should be off, you can see in your .ini) and turn FASTSYNC ON on my nvidia card just for this program (shootergame/blahblah)

it will run better, look better and have a higher framerate on average, less spiking

i'd cap my fps at 1fps below my monitor's refresh rate too (in game option is fine), why? this keeps physics engines from ramping up too high and ♥♥♥♥ going crazy. any time in a game when you barely hit something and it goes flying like it was shot out of a cannon, that's a sign the physics engine is struggling hard. an old trick from skyrim modding was to cap FPS 1 lower and it stopped the engine from doing that and increased overall performance. there is no drawback to this and both ark games have physics engines that can get overexcited.

there's really no reason to use vsync in any game anymore, it's always inferior to vsync on your card because in-game vsync is still old and basic (and i don't know why, i'm sure there are limitations of some sort), card vsync has lots of options and works better for me and has for 10 years.

Vsync is in the ini files already
