discussion ARK Ascended 100% CPU Bug?

[Shadowarez]

Heya all back again with another issue swear i did malware checks this time even did a offline scan with a live environment with updated virus databases, nothing found with 3 different apps, Malware Bytes, Spyware Blaster, Avg,

this is only oddly happening to my 9800x3D - 9070XT Rig when the server loads in the system things its having a heart attack and cpu actually hits 100% load then eventually drops down to 75%-80% i dont see this behavior on the 9950x3D - 4090FE rig it runs at 20%-45% depending on whats happening ingame both righs are delidded liquid metaled direct die contract framed temps are amazing until this game loads then its like 69c - 85c on the 9800x3D rig which has PBO -30c on all cores in games like Daiblo 4 - Destiny 2 itll hit maybe a max of 56c - 64c.

this is at 144hz on the Alienware QD-OLED 3440x1440p resolution no Framegen Radeon anti lag off, vsync on.
anyone else playing this see this type of behavior ingame with mods?

9950X3D has twice as many cores, so running at 45% (16c) sounds correct if the 9800X3D is running at 80-100% (8c)...

never seen it do this but if its normal i got the cooling for it just found it odd it spun up like that when loading up but if this game soaks the cpu/gpu then i dont mind it actually makes the gpu do some work just never seen cpu get pinned like that lol.

Never played ARK myself, but running a server + client on the same PC sounds like it would eat up a lotta resources. Adding mods on top, I could see it maxing out 8 cores. Since its an open-world survival game, there would be a lot of objects/enemies/etc to track.

I would keep the server on the 9950X3D system instead, even if you are playing on the 9800X3D.

oh this is client side only going to a modded server lol the server itself soaks up ram as it loads 100% into just ram seen some i3 servers lol.
