The command is -USEALLAVAILABLECORES and you put that in your ark launch options. That can be found by right clicking ark in steam, selecting properties and it should be visable.

For that we'd have to know your CPU.

For me, this game only uses 4 cores of my 8 core CPU, even with the command entered.
Before the command, it still used 4 cores.

I have a 6 core chip 12 HT and it uses all 12 HT it is running at 18%-23% CPU
Memory 2.6 gig mem before launch 8.96 gig with game running

I am not using any commands to launch the game

-sm4 -d3d10 means you're forcing the game to run on DX10 with shader model and light effects of DX10 thats why the game looks crap, but i use it too, since it makes my framerate go from 15 (outside, no rain) to 40
better ♥♥♥♥♥♥ look than lagging in fights with dinos ;)

edit: most people cant see s*** at night with this launch options, you need to turn your gamma up a little and it should be fine

Sorry to bring up an old post. But I get the same. Have a AMD FX 8300 8 core and cant seem to go above 4 even with the code. Any ideas?

Are all cores enabled on your actual pc?
