i know it use to have it. Why the ♥♥♥♥ would the DEV's remove this basic option?

r.vsync 1
t.maxfps 60

Dunno why those 2 commands weren't added into the options menu as they're sort of important, but none the less they are here.

Goto

Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open up Gameusersettings with notepad
ctrl + F and search "bUseVSync="

change

bUseVSync=False

to

bUseVSync=True

If you use console command above, you will most likely have to retype it every time you launch the game, this way you run it always with vsync when starting.

For those players that have a monitor tv or other viewing device that can not go above a x amount of fps. If the game runs at higher fps than the viewing device ripples tears and other things can occur that are uncomfortable to see and break concentration. For instant my pc can get above 100fps while playing ark but my Tv only goes to 60fps so I need vsync.

Weird I get 60 fps on High with my Gtx 980 on my 36" tv ;) Buuuuuuuut I run Win 8 not 10 lol Probably why all that extra running backround apps!

Screens/monitors have refresh rates. Running frames higher than your screen's refresh rate is not advisable as it can burn out your GPU. It has NOTHING to do with what version of OS you are running.

You could also use the advanced options in your graphics adapter's software to force the use of Vsync.

Yup. But most people don't dig into their GPU settings outside of the settings contained in a game.

It is such a default option in most games, devs should include it regardless.

there is zero point in running higher fps than your monitor, people asking why would you want vsync don't seem to understand that its not only about visible screen tearing or not, people don't like their PC running hotter or harder than it needs to. I was checking all these threads to make sure someone mentions the console command to control your framerate. someone did say above but again its < t.maxfps 60 > or whatever number you want. my 1080 runs at 100% even for 60 so I run 30, wish I didn't have to but I don't like my crap running over 80% some of us don't have the $$$ to replace our rigs after setting them on fire

Navigating to Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ you can find lots of files useful for changing how the game is run.

The GameUserSettings file can be used to change Vsync and the Engine file can be used to change the max fps.

Thought I'd bump this thread with a bit more information because it's still very useful.
