General Gaming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Information Thread, update: Stig Asmussen (director of Fallen Order/Survivor) is departing EA/Respawn

But seriously I like that you just have all your powers right off the bat. No Metroid bullshit where you spend every game collecting THE SAME FUCKING UPGRADES AGAIN.

Sees people complaining about it running at 47 FPS

Recommends they go play it at 63% of that FPS

 

To be fair, variable 40-50 FPS is worse than a locked 30 FPS because of the god awful micro stutter*, even with VRR IMO. But it's always trivial to vsync to 30 if you can do >40, so we're back to this not being a reason to go console instead.

 

*Locked 40hz on a compatible display is solid though

[BloodyHell]

Ok, after some tweaks, and getting to the second planet, im running in the 90’s consistently.

[Spawn_of_Apathy]

Yeah that is nice. You still have an upgrade and skill tree, but it’s new stuff. 
 

So the game still likes to crash upon starting it up. Doesn’t seem to matter how I launch it. Also every time you start the game up it has to “compile certain game files”. Also also, achievements don’t pop, at least on PC until you boot the game back up (this is less annoying than the compiling and game crashing). 
 

last error I got said something about a texture allocator. But it seems to be a different message every time. I’m now at 4 crashes in a row trying to load back into my game.

May brute Force be with you

@best3444

Impressions?

[Spawn_of_Apathy]

Ok…I think I figured out how to get it to not crash. Before going to Continue I need to go into the options first. Then back out. Then continue. I did this the previous time too and didn’t think anything of that, but now after 4 crashes in a row, doing that it didn’t crash. Maybe it’s just a stupid coincidence, but I guess I’ll just do it from now on and see. 
 

also, I can confirm that Ray tracing is enabled when you load back into the game. One of the most obvious places to see Ray tracing on vs off if any mirror in the game. With RTX off it just looks like a dark image of cal, but with RTX on it’s an actual reflection. So there we go.

Now I’m wondering if RT is actually on for me too and I’m just making it slower at the start of every boot :P Guess i’ll have to look at it first next time

Jesus, what a mess of a launch. They should be pilloried the way CDPR were. This stuff is getting out of pocket. Games not running but still getting released should not be a thing.

 

Edit: but also, damn it’s good.

[AbsolutSurgen]

Went back in, and started over.  The brutal audio stuttering in the cutscenes was gone.  Getting frames ~50 fps, perfectly fine playing it.

Really enjoying playing as Cal Kestis again, feels like riding a bike -- except I've lost all my abilities, and I've got to earn them again.

 

So far, it is completely and totally playable for me -- no reason to wait on this.

Concerned about @best3444 and why he hasn’t posted anything about this game despite taking the day off from work to play it. Could it be that Darth Vader (aka his Dad) turned him over to the Emperor (aka his Mom) and they kicked him out?

Had no idea.

I figured CastlevaniaNut18 ended him.

Been on the receiving end of that a couple times. But @CastlevaniaNut18 is fair, just have to pay the penance

2.5hrs in on PS5 and I havent noticed any issues. Seems to run just fine and the haptics on the controller are awesome. 

 

its a beautiful game. that first “level” was so dense and around every corner was a sight to just stop and appreciate. 

 

that said….the game is pretty OK. So far more of the same. If you liked the first one, youll like this one too. 

[BloodyHell]

Man, they messed up with wht is truly a great game, so much fun, but the second I’m in a cutscene or indoors, I drp into the 40’s.

[nublood]

Best got bant? Oh lawd. I’ve been perma’d from forums before. No fun not being able to holla at your boys.

I’d love a Star Wars game that is an huge open city that looks like this first level. Maybe Jedi3 in UE5. With interiors like cantinas you can enter.

This game looks fanfuckintastic

yeah, but not so good it should have performance this poor or crash this often. 
 

 

my previous theory about going into the options menu to prevent it crashing when I select continue does not seem to be correct. I’ve now had two crashes during play, and multiple crashes trying to load the game again.

You’re playing on pc?

ive had no ceashes, about 6-7 hours in (third planet)

 

Cal definitely needs him some Merrin. If they kill her, I’ll be very upset. She’s one of the best characters in the series. I love the Nightsisters.

I’ve now had 3 crashes while playing the game and at least another 9 or so just trying to get the game the load from the menu. Seems to be pretty common based on comments in the steam page. Count yourself lucky. 

[stepee]

One thing this and FO do great is making the tutorial exciting and fun and not feel like a tutorial. I think it’s more obvious here because they are refreshing you on all the stuff from the first game, but that it still works considering that, is kind of even more impressive.

Jeeze 30min without a save point in this one section was a bit much, hope there isn’t too much of that.

Yeah, so far the game launches without issue, and and no crashes. Average framerate is still only 51, and I never hit 30 in cutscenes, but never dropped below 25. Cutscenes are far worse than gameplay for me. The varying framerate sucks, but it never unplayable. 

[Dodger]

Having minimal problems on XSX. Some stutters here and there but other than that having a great time with it.
