Can I run it?

[deadlypg]

Hey, so I have a laptop and I was wondering if I could run ARK: Survival Evolved.
Here are my specs;

Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3317U CPU @ 1.70GHz
4GB Ram

thanks

then theres something wrong with your system in 1 way or another, or you didnt bother to try the any of the options that allows the game to run smoother. Dont blame the game when your PC may be at fault. That setup is DEFINITELY able to play ARK at decent settings.

And according to your game list you dont even currently own ARK.
so hmmmmm...

Refunded it about a month and a half ago, that removes a game from your currently owned list.

ARK may have taken steps forward since then, but at the time I was getting 30-40 FPS at High settings and any settings below that made very little difference. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my system, I know a lot of people say "it runs plenty of other games" but in my case it runs canned benchmarks for CPU and GPU about as well as it should. It seems to be fine.

Those results are normal for a 970, but with some tweaks you could have gotten higher with minimal effort. Theres more to it than just lowering the graphic settings.

I know. But for me it wasn't worth it, I wasn't enjoying ARK and hadn't for a long time. The bad optimisation and the fact it never changed was the final straw, there were plenty of other reasons.

From my perspective, the developers completely lost their way and their creative vision. They didn't seem to have any clear idea of what they wanted to make, let alone the ability to make it happen. I'm just glad I bought the game when it was $19.
