Notices
This is a PvP config for Servers it works great on my map and have a good player base.
If you use mods too on this map it is possible thats you need more ram and cpu power.
This is the same if you let run more than 1 Ark Server on 1 V-Server or debicated Server.

For the best performance on this map on Servers.
4 Core CPU with 2,5 GHZ or more
16 GB Ram or more
150 GB free HDD
Internet connection 100 Mbit/s Down and 40 Mbit/s up or better

For Single Player
4 Core I3 CPU or AMD Ryzen 3 with 2,5 GHZ or More
16 GB Ram or more
150 GB free HDD
Nvidia 1060 or AMD RX 5500 with 6GB Ram or better

For playing on Servers
Internet 30.000 connection with 4 Mbits Upload or more

You can play this map with lower hardware too but you will have only 30 FPS or lower and some lags and if you want to join on servers you can have some timeouts by connecting.

Only for Serveradmins
If you use Crossark on your Server the map exclusive creatures and items can not transfers to other without the Skull Island Map.

For example this creatures can not be used on other maps:
- Hellhounds
- Hydras
- Stone Lizard
