Ark: Survival Evolved: Low fps becaue of UE4 or due to no optimizations?

Well I know this is going to be a discussion without end, but if you actually look closely at your graph, you see that UE4 is not using more than 1…1.5 cores overall. I marked blue what you have to count. do not forget to substract usage from other processes on the same core (the offset). If you stack it up you see that it amounts only to 1…1.5 cores. This is what I mean. If you do proper profiling, you see it more clearly that only 1…1.5 cores of 8 cores are used, or . ~ 20 percent of your cpu power.

Egh, well I think this is an important distinction to make. The game is successfully running on multiple cores, but it is not using multiple cores worth of total processing power. Your choice in terminology is misleading.

And this game using only ~20% of that person’s CPU is not necessarily a bad thing. What it likely points to is the game being GPU bound (as mentioned by Syed). Of course none of us (as far as I know) are developers for Ark so we can’t do much in the way of profiling.
