launch options don't get saved, they remain in that launch option window until you delete it.

I take it that you have tried launching ARK with the last option which is Reset Game Resolution ?

Just for fun, if you were to check your launch option on your old computer, is there anything in there ?

the commands (like -d3d10 or -lowmemory) are only in effect if you do not start the game with one of the launch options.

the launch options will ignore all commands you have added.

just start ARK normal with "Play Game".

if you had messed with the ini-file and do not know how to reverse it: delete it and verify the game data with steam.


PS
those "Launch options" ("Launch ARK (...)") are always there.

you can manualy enter launch options under properties "set launch options".

However, he says that this is a new computer, so its a fresh install, there should not be any launch options entered manualy and ini file should be fine.

Like you said, he should be starting the game with "Play Game"

Now I am curious to know what is this new computer ?

Just open the window for launch commands and delete them...

All the information for your GPU is missing, but if you have a GTX 1060, it will not play ARK with all settings on Epic.

a 1060 is very capable of playing on epic 1080p at 30fps

ok

Just a tip if you dont want to run into that window every time, right click your steam icon on your desktop and click ark from that list that comes up (it will show the last 5 or so games you last played), You can avoid that screen completly by starting ark from that list.

just be warned:
you want to play on a Laptop. those things have a very strict heat and power draw limitation.

always use a cooling pad and let the laptop connected to the power or you will run into lower performance due to heat and power draw.

start with medium settings at 1080p and adjust it from there.

i play all games on epic i control heat coz its has 2 dual metal fans so max 70C the only issue is ruined my ark and asking someones help to fix it :(

the biggest problem is to understand what you want. like your last post: it makes no sense.
