@@vanceg4901 The engine is scalable and they expect developers to do what they always do. Choose the visual presentation you like. You could go all out like Hellblade or do something more reserved in visual features. Also your weakling AMD 5500U is doing 60fps in old games that would gladly hit 120fps on the consoles

Why have an unlocked frame rate that struggles to hit 40 fps? Just lock the damn thing to 30 fps, and at least get a more consistent experience. [Edit: seems like you CAN do it in the settings? Not quite clear on that.]

It's because the game needs Brute force. Which with PC, it can be anything. Only limit is money tbh. But first thing any dev should strive for is performance either at 30/60fps.

Using the mod “A simple performance mod” i can get 50fps most of the time with 1440p@50%/720p upscaled and on my 4K monitor it does look pretty good. this mod really works and it’s a game changer with the difference being around 12fps on average and with the upgrade to ue5.4 coming this fall the game should run a lot better on consoles as they’re more CPU limited which ue5.4 helps ALOT with CPU bottlenecking

0:27 No it isn't, It is not a 'ground up remake', It uses a lot of the UE4 game's code, Studio Wildcard likes to say it was a complete remake but it isn't in any way other then graphics, QOL changes and fancier graphics. A lot of bugs in Evolved are present in Ascended, Which is one of many ways to tell this game isn't a complete remake. There are also DLC-exclusive Dinos such as the Extinction DLC Titans in Ascended (Despite Extinction not currently being available in Ascended), There are dummy maps for the later Evolved DLC maps that can be loaded with console commands in Ascended and many more ways to tell this game isn't a remake.

@@alumlovescake They made a big deal about it supposedly being a complete top to bottom remake touching on most if not all aspects of the game. But that was very quickly debunked when people got access to Ascended. A lot of the meshing bugs still exist just to name one of a dozen bugs still in the UE5 version, If it was a remake those meshing issues would have been one of the first things resolved. For most of Ascended, It is essentially copy-pasted from Evolved with very little else.
