In single-player mode, Ark will perform an automatic save if it detects an attempt to shut down the application (such as by Alt+F4, or via the task manager or Windows taskbar), in order to prevent players from "dashboarding out" in an attempt to avoid a sudden unfavorable situation in-game.

VR support

Issues fixed

Tweaks to raise the frame rate

The following tweaks can help improve the game's infamously poor performance even on high-end systems.
Instructions
The -useallavailablecores command is unnecessary in Windows 10 and may in fact cause extremely poor performance due to the different way in which it handles CPU core management compared to Windows 7.

Issues unresolved

Stuck in Server Browser After Selecting "My Survivors" Filter
