Unreal Engine 5.2: A Solution to Stuttering Issues?

Unreal Engine 5.2 introduces procedural generation, which allows for more efficient and realistic environment creation. This improves performance, particularly in hardware-accelerated ray tracing. However, CPU limitations and traversal stutter still pose challenges. The engine also includes an improved asynchronous shader caching system, but it is not a complete solution for eliminating stutters. Developers may need to combine it with traditional shader caching methods for a smoother player experience. The impact of these features will be seen in upcoming games like Immortals of Aveum, The Lords of the Fallen, and Stalker 2.

"Ark: Survival Ascended Faces Delays and Price Changes, Set for October Release"

The release of Ark: Survival Ascended, the remaster of Survival Evolved, has been delayed to October as an early access launch. The game's price has been changed again, now set at $45 with a temporary launch discount of $40. The developer, Studio Wildcard, cited challenges with Unreal Engine 5.2 and the need for more time to support cross-platform modding as reasons for the delay. The reduced price is due to the game not being able to deliver as much content as planned. The Scorched Earth expansion will arrive in December, while Ragnarok and Aberration are scheduled for 2024. Servers for Survival Evolved will go offline on September 30. The game will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
