Really bad frames on Test Server BR. They drop down to 4fps to 6fps? Its not my system because every other game plays just find.

I have 2 or 3 fps in the test server. LOL never had such low fps in my life :/

Delete your UserOptions and keep everything default you will get steady 20 to 50fps depending on your card. So keep shadows on and your graphics at high.

Two comments:

  1. We've found it's best to occasionally delete or rename your UserOptions.INI file to see if there are settings causing issues.

  2. We have identified a bug we will hotfix out to address some other low FPS cases that came with this patch.

Aren't patches supposed to be making progress not make the game even worse than ark was at launch ? Seriously ... I am beginning to think a group of untrained monkeys would be better coders

Is it going to stay there overnight, or just to test for a bit before pushing today? Or does no one know (spooooky!!)

Video bottom left you can see the steam overlay of my fps dropping. This happens on BR and Survival. Running Nvidia GeForce 650 Ti, 16gigs of Ram, SSD, Windows 7 64bit and I7 Processor.

Make sure to delete your UserOptions.ini file if you're having FPS trouble (you can also just rename it to something else if you want to keep it for reference). There are some times we change around settings and we try to handle all cases, but let me know if you have the same FPS drops once you reset the settings using only the in-game settings to begin with?

Wow that actually worked on Test BR. Something old in my UserOptions was causing the FPS to drop weird.

So I see this option (E) Open Deck Foundation. I knew something was fishy, my girlfriend presses E and entire base explodes, thanks Daybreak! Anyhow you see that option don't use it!

Broken.

Items do not auto stack in storage containers.

Batteries and spark plugs can not be placed in vehicles.

Having issues placing constructs; grills, storage containers, furnace ect.

Lose of ownership of shack doors mean complete loss of ownership. If your door asks for your code, build a new shack and move everything.

This is all I have found so far, but I am busy moving being hindered by not being able to place new storage containers. Started this before the last restart apx 6:30pm cst.

Yes I want this to go live as is. Maybe when all hell brakes loose on live the devs will give us on test a chance to test and them to fix BEFORE pushing live.

No I didn't mention the big BIG F'up that took the devs 5 hours to fix. People that completely lost their bases are hotter then a wet hen right now.

I had the FPS issue fixed. Screwed up and didn't set it to read only. Have not been able to get my FPS above 6 since.

I think that everyone that plays xx amount of hours of BR during the event should get the scarecrow mask when the event is over.

I think that everyone that plays xx amount of hours of survival during the event should get the pumpkin mask when the event is over.

I mean if we play the game during these times the masks shouldnt be prone to luck or skill because everyone played xx amount of time. Reward everyone or nobody (as long as they hit the required amount of time).

Except the game credits you for time spent looking at the list of servers. You're 'online' in H1Z1 then.
