Lol regardless what I put it on, medium, high, ultra, I get the same FPS. 3080ti Mobile and 13900, 32gb ram.

 

47fps average. Less in combat.

I was getting that until just now. I used the Nvidia experience launcher instead of the desktop shortcut or steam. Now I’m getting 60 with some dips to the mid 50s

 

Ive got a 3070ti with a 13700kf, 32GB of ram. 2731x1440 resolution, everything set to epic, wider FOV, v sync on, Ray tracing on, and AMD FSR disabled for obvious reasons.

Did you check if it’s still the same performance if you uncheck RT and check it back on? It seems to not load RT on launch at least not for me and some others, that would explain the difference.

[legend]

Yeah, I’m going to wait. 

[stepee]

Oh jeeze sounds like the Xbox version runs in the 40s in performance mode lol. Friendly reminder if anyone wants to wait for them to fix it up that Dead Island 2 runs amazing on everything!

[BloodyHell]

Here’s the thing, the game isn’t running bad. No crashes, no crazy dips during gameplay, im averaging 45 but just updated my drivers, and will try launching it through the nvidia launcher next time I play. 
 

the problem is, I just don’t like mid 40’s fps, and that’s why I bought a PC.

[Mr.Vic20]

I've made it to the 2nd planet and it beautiful!  Frame rate is still janky but running between 80-110. The great Cal grind has begun! 

[BloodyHell]

I am glad i just bought a month of ea play pro instead of paying 70$ for unoptimized trash.

 

that said, the game is very, very good.

[stepee]

Gotta wonder if anyone at Respawn is thinking man would have been nice if we could have flipped the double performance switch for 4000series users when they see all these poor performance even on 4090 articles.

EA didn't send Digital Foundry a pre-release code for ANY platform 

 

Per a post from one of the DF guys on ResetERA:

This game should not be being sold atm and should be pulled from Steam. It is blatantly unfinished in the same way I said Gotham Knights was blatantly unfinished.

DL'ing now on PS5...  DAT FILE SIZE

Hopefully they can fix it up in a similar manner (it runs shockingly well now)!

this is what you pc gamers get for feeling so high and mighty. go spend 700 dollars on some more RAM or some shit

Just play it on a damn console. I swear you Master Racer’s are so stubborn. 
 

 

Sees people complaining about it running at 47 FPS

Recommends they go play it at 63% of that FPS

should apologize for the ps5 version too. it just keeps on crashing here. no matter if performance or quality mode.

So what I get is it running fine for me and everyone else having it run poorly :P

ya but the console version only runs at 30fps well, the 60fps mode there is all over the place too, everyone is in the same boat here, with consoles still on the bottom, it’s just the level of ridiculousness of poor cpu optimization climbs up the higher spec you go as well

Wait, wait, pause hold on… consoles use Win10????

I did disable and then reenabled RT. Performance was the same. Until I hit an open area and woah. I was alternating between 60 and dips down in the 40s. 
 

this game really hates sudden transitions. To and from cutscenes also janks the fps down to single digits. 
 

I can get an extra 10-15fps if I turn vsync off, but then the screen tearing is awful.

So, I shut down the game, restarted my PC, reloaded to the same area where I was getting 25fps before rebooting, now my GPU utilization is at 55% and my fps is 55, the more I play the higher my GPU utilization has been going until it's at like 80% and my fps eventually went up to 70s on the first area, I'm in the second area now and getting 80-90. 

Okay, I booted it up again and it was fine, until I did something… theory: if you change graphics settings while playing, “something” happens that causes your gpu and cpu utilization to slowly and continuously drop down

Some games are like that I’ve seen, in this one though some of that can be if you don’t turn RT off and on it won’t have RT which of course will make performance better

Yeah, I said as much earlier. I was getting 70-80 in the first area, and an easy 120+ in the second area. The first area is super dense with all kinds of stuff.

[BloodyHell]

I agree the game feels fantastic. It would be a great game if it wasn’t broken.

 

Every reviewer who helped this get an 86% on metacritic should be fired. 

[BloodyHell]

Updated drivers, worse performance. Averaging 42 now. Fml

Did you match your chipset to your Windows version you son of a bitch?! Respawn will break down your door for mismatching such obviously paired components!!

If I change any settings, even AA settings (which doesn’t do anything because I have FSR enabled), performance slowly deteriorates over time. It’ll take 30-60 minutes but my fps just keeps slowly going down from (for example) 60-70 avg down to 20-25 as GPU utilization just continually creeps down. It’s the weirdest thing, almost like a memory leak but, ya know, not ram related

That's a new EA feature called PC stamina, you gotta pay every hour or so to keep your PC running in tip top shape!*

_{*Tip top shape not guaranteed, your small fee of $4.99 USD simply removes the inhibitors in the game's code temporarily}

Remember when a game would come out and we'd all talk about the game instead of how many FPS the PC users are getting? Me either.

I was complaining about the audio stuttering in the cut scenes.

Everyone would love to talk about the game but it runs like shit on every platform and crashes a lot on consoles!

Ok ok fine fine let’s switch to just talking about the game.. @best3444 how did you like the opening so far??

[Xbob42]

I liked when Cal kept pretending to jack off his lightsaber as though it were a penis to taunt the Senator. He's developed so much since the first game.

Then how are so many people streaming it across so many platforms and whenever I randomly click on one it seems fine?

 

[Spawn_of_Apathy]

I thought the opening was good for what it was. I don’t know if it’s as strong emotionally as Fallen Order, but I’m a sucker for clone wars and thought they did a good job seeing the seeds if Cal’s trauma from the clone wars. 
 

the couple of areas the opening fell a little flat for me was

the obvious fake arrest. And then how telegraphed it was the team died. They all had the art design of “forgettable NPC” and lo and behold they didn’t stay long enough to warrant more character design.

Action wise it was pretty good. A decent set piece too. 
 

I also really liked the way the game displayed the difference in skill now vs Fallen Order by

the fight with the ninth sister. Which was both nice to close that loop, but also really showed how much stronger Cal is now.
