Blurry map fix , better graphics, less lags.

[Yetica]

Just want to add discussion for those who need help with graphic settings.
For past 2 days i was testing graphic settings to fix blurry map. Here is what i came to.
After some failing..Not only i fixed map, but game looks better and is still running without lags.
Bye, bye blurry world! :D

My computer specs:

OS: 64-Bit Win7
CPU: 1.70GHz (4 CPUs), ­~2.4GHz
RAM: 8GB
Nvidia GeForce 840M (ARK is optimized trough GeForce experience with high settings)
DirectX11

When start running ARK i use 1st option all time


*HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS - KEEP THIS OFF! (This setting makes huge lags)
*Use DYNAMIC TESSELLATION instead! Same effect, but no lags. Huge improvement. Even if they say it is for DirectX12, it works on Dx11

You still can change simple settings as textures, shadows, ground clutter to higher/lover values as you please.

This guide helps a lot:

Nice bump, but just an fyi im pretty sure Dynamic Tessalation has never worked.

Ty for contributing what you’ve found to the community. This information will no doubt prove useful for any number of folks trying to optimize their graphics on a given rig.
