The Next Generation of Survival

Ark 2 represents the highly anticipated evolution of the survival phenomenon, promising a massive leap in visual fidelity and mechanical depth. While the official launch date approaches, the FREAKHOSTING infrastructure is already architected to support this next-generation dinosaur simulation from the moment of release. This guide outlines the technical expectations and provides a strategic plan for community owners to prepare for their dedicated Ark 2 instance.

​
Technical Infrastructure Expectations

Based on preliminary developer insights and modern industry benchmarks for survival titles, we anticipate several critical technical requirements for stable hosting.
Ark 2 is architected upon Unreal Engine 5 (UE5). To maintain a fluid simulation, servers will require significant RAM and high single-core CPU frequency, likely exceeding the demands of Ark: Survival Ascended. High-frequency processors are essential for handling the complex physics and AI pathfinding inherent in UE5.

​
Strategic Hardware Preparation

To ensure your community enjoys a professional, low-latency experience upon launch, consider the following deployment strategy.
1

Determine Community Scale

Analyze your expected player density. UE5 world instances scale aggressively with the volume of active dinosaurs and participant structures.
2

Select an Optimized Hosting Tier

We recommend our Extreme VPS or Dedicated Infrastructure lines. These plans are engineered with high-clock-speed CPUs and substantial memory buffers, providing the necessary overhead for demanding UE5 workloads.
3

Automated Deployment

The FREAKHOSTING Game Panel will manifest a “One-Click Install” template as soon as the dedicated server binaries are programmatically available via SteamCMD.

​
Technical Support Commitment

We are committed to providing the most up-to-date technical information. We will synchronize this knowledgebase with specific configuration paths, Game.ini schema details, and performance optimization protocols as soon as the official Ark 2 developer kit becomes accessible.
