FPS problem with good PC

I have a computer with these characteristics i9900k rtx3080ti 32gb of ram and 1 two ssds I play anything and it’s perfect for me but it’s playing lost ark at more than 120fps and it’s noticing drops in the chaos in some areas of the game whenever I go through those specific areas give those micro jerks and I play at 1080p, so I should be stuck at 144. I have tried to remove chats and even lower the graphics to a minimum but nothing works with this game

Hi @gameroblivion30

I’m really glad to see you are here at the forums and hope you can enjoy your time here and at the game as well!

I understand your PC exceed the necessary requirement to play Lost Ark, but still is running it choppy.

Proceed to check updates on your Windows updates and your GPU, even change your game to play it border-less windowed or to full screen. Check AGS support page for other more advance tip for FPS issue on the game.


If you’re still having problems, we need you to contact AGS customer support for further assistance.

Have the dxdiag ready in case they ask for it, instructions for generating a DXdiag:


Thank you for your understanding and patience. Wish you the best and a nice week. :octopus:

Intel would be your issue here! Try going AMD if you plan on gaming.

I think intel is better for gaming in general but amd is better for xtreming

Like I said that is the issue!

I have a friend with ryzen and he have the same problem

the game in general is old and really cannot take advantage of any of the newer hardware

I would not go advising people to change so much of their hardware over to AMD simply to fix a software issue.

AMD CPU’s have their issues too.
Users are detailing their issues seemingly with AMD FX processors and EAC stopping them from playing LA currently.
Not good advice, especially currently.

The problem is likely not your computer.

The problem is, that it is trying to run a Game with a old GameEngine with a Pepega Anti-Cheat.

can you post optimal game settings to get max fps pls

Sorry, I don’t have a good answer for you @GhostReporting.

You could try going into the game options and setting everything off or to the lowest setting and in that way you would get the maximum frames per second but I am sure that’s not the answer your after.

The achieve an optimal game performance you may want to “play” with the settings for some time and try different variations out for yourself.
Depending on your hardware and software configuration your results may vary.

The gentleman in the OP seems to be wanting to achieve 144 (my assumption is fps) and is rather getting 120fps. I do wish him the best and hope he is happy with any results he does get here.
My post that you replied to was simply me pointing out to twiztid213 that their advice to change to AMD to resolve this issue is not a good idea.

Best of luck.

I think this explains everything:

I’ve been having issues for months and I’m pretty sure Smilegate has no idea that we’re having these issues…

Have you tried uninstalling the game completely?
Delete all folder and get fresh client?

By remove chats you mean you’ve disabled the automatic item drop messages and the XP gain messages? That’s usually what does it for people in Chaos Dungeons, all those “received X item” and “received Y experience” messages force any computer to its knees.

Very silly but right clicking the chat tabs and disabling ‘upgrade’ and ‘loot’ helps a ton if you missed those.

Or more simply AGS never reported the problem to SG. Despite all the complaints we have made, with all the video showing the difference of 30-70 fps between our version and the RU / KR one.

A comment has never been made by the CMs where they are aware of the problem.

I think the game is poor performance no my pc

When you say specific zones, do you mean loading into certain areas or doing certain things e.g. a chaos dungeon? South vern after chaos gates etc etc.

These stutters are caused by the chat with everyone linking their maps. In chaos dungeons as long as you have SH bonuses, it’ll spam your chat with “bonuses” that completely lag the experience no matter HOW good your PC is.

If it’s what I descriebd just turn off these extra things in your chat tabs. Just leave on what you really need to see. Like actually untick, even if you set up an empty chat box it’s still there til you actually disable them.

The other suggestion is adding -notexturestreaming and -useallavailablecores to lost ark launch options. It will increase usage tho just a warning.

Just switched from amd 5950x to Intel Core i9 13900KF. It’s not the issue. At all.

I turned off some looting msg under "chat tap settings " and no more lag in chaos.
