Startup Options

hey guys,

first of all, my english is not the best, dont blame me

question about the launch options from ark,

is there any way to force the game the 4GB low mem and no Sky effect in the same time?

cuz i got with 4gb setting arround 30% more fps and with no sky effects again 30% ... so i was wondering if it is possible to run both at the same time .. this setting btw reduced also my server lags by almost 90% (only if i fly too fast at our EXTREME huge admin base i still have some lags for the first time till its fully loaded but its better as before)

I think you're asking about the launch option -nomansky? Go your Library > right-click Ark > Properties > Set Launch Options.

Add:
-nomansky

If you haven't tried other launch options, I recommend -USEALLAVAILABLECORES as well. That's the only one I use, but I've tried -sm4 and -d3d10 as well; both of those are terrible and weren't needed in my case. If you really need to use them, then they're good, but I hated them. -nomansky turns off all sky effects, I'm assuming more so than turning sky effects all the way down in your in-game settings. So what you do is set your launch options as above, then when you go to launch Ark, select your 4 gb low memory mode. You'll then be running it the way I believe you're asking.

Try -lowmemory -nomansky
