This makes it so the game uses all of your CPU cores. If all of your CPU cores are NOT being used after using this launch option then disable it as it may cause more stuttering.

-sm4
It forces the game to use Shader Model 4 instead of the usual Shader Model 5. The game looks and feels almost the same but you get much better performance. There is more a matte look to the game but it is not bad at all. Best performance boost out of all of these options.

-d3d10
Using sm4 forces the game into using DX10 instead of DX11 and this does the same thing. I put it here to make sure it launched correctly. you are not missing out on anything.

-lowmemory
This launches the game in 4gb memory mode. If you have less than 16 gigs of RAM then this is basically a must have for better performance. You are missing out on some effects like the breaking of bushes and leaves go everywhere. Nothing major at all and the game runs better!


-novsync
This forces Vsync to be off. Vsync is typically used to stop screen tearing when over your monitors refresh rate. If you are getting below 60fps then make sure to leave this in, if you are getting over 60fps then leave it as it can cause screen tearing.

-high
Forces windows to run the program as high priority.



THIS IS ONLY FOR REFRENCE THE PERFORMANCE BOOSTS HERE ARE REFERING TO THE GAME DARK AND LIGHT FROM WHICH THIS THING WAS COPIED AND PASTED FROM THIER FORUMS BUT MAY HAVE SIMILAR EFFECTS IN ATLAS THESE MAY OR MAY NOT WORK YOU PUT THEM IN LAUNCH OPTIONS AFTER RIGHT CLICKING ON PROPERTIES ON THE GAME SHORTCUT IN STEAM

THESE MAY OR MAY NOT WORK I DIDNT TEST THEM NOR CARE TOO

Its a way for low end computers to be able to load the game. More FPS maybe?

Actually I would say thats pretty good with a 1050 and a game this early in EA. The other day during the launch issues I seen 9-15.

Did you turn of ground clutter?

Jeez Unreal Engine has used all available cores for over two years now. Every tried it to actually see the difference?

Placebo.

Okey I will try it. =3

ATLAS currently has no SM4 shader profile, so it will not load if you try to use it.

What the hell? Try tryping a little clearer please.

"f you are getting below 60fps then make sure to leave this in, if you are getting over 60fps then leave it as it can cause screen tearing"

WTF? If you're under 60 fps, make sure to what??

-USEALLAVAILABLECORES
has no longer any function for ARK and does not work for ATLAS

-sm4
game switches down to shader model 4 which kills a lot on the grafic side and can cause problems with the GPU and/or driver. some FPS gain
does not work with ATLAS

-d3d10
game goes down to DX10 8this includes -sm4!!!!!). kills a lot on the graphic side an can cause the same problems as -sm4. also gains FPS
does not work with ATLAS

-lowmemory
cuts the needed RAM down to under 8gb. this can cause loading lags (depends on CPU, RAM and HDD). it also disables some options and grafics to achieve this.
helps weak pc´s to load the game at all
this works NOT with ATLS!!
the command for ATLAS is -lowmemorymode


-novsync
has no function in ARK or ATLAS

-high
has no function in ARK anymore and does not work with ATLAS

ATLAS runs a little better than ARK (official servers) and has the better grafics and some other improvements over ARK.

ARK is a little more demanding than ATLAS since far more stuff is shown and far more npc´s are on a single server.

but in the end it is your choice.

both games can make fun if you like the setting

-high DOES work in ATLAS, as they recently added it in during a patch this past week. Same patch they added -lowmemorymode actually.
