There's no way any of you are playing that over this game. Also, they've been constantly penalizing a game for performance issues and while that seems like a valid complaint a launch, a lot of games they've been slamming have gotten performance improvements after launch of course, but they'll never change the review to reflect that. Overall unless the issues are crippling I think that maybe PC Gamer reviews aren't the best to go on. I usually take easy allies and ign's scores and average them out. It gives me a pretty good idea what I'll be getting into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be playing the game until next week so I'll be doing my best to avoid spoilers. I manage to avoid spoilers in most things I follow so hopefully this won't be any different. I've found google to be the biggest offender in spoiling shit because it will send me stuff based on my search history and that includes sites that I don't necessarily follow. I pre-ordered the game a couple of weeks ago but I won't get my system at my parent's house until next week. Dell had refurbished Series S' for sale for 199. Perfect for my extended stay at my at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 A lot of review sites give performance issues a pass, assuming they will be fixed by a D1P. PCGamer and Shacknews both comment on how bad some of the stuttering/texture loading can be. Hopefully it is mostly fixed by launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not impact us. But this is AMD sponsored UE4 with RT tacked on, that is always a perfect storm so I kinda expected it not to run as well as other games.

Spork3245 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Ahhhhh F, I actually forgot it was AMD sponsored. Remember when people used to bitch and moan about nVidia sponsored games when all that would happen is getting proprietary features like phsyx or hairworks? With AMD sponsored titles it always runs worse all around and only supports FSR (where as nVidia sponsored games that have DLSS pretty much always have FSR and often XeSS as well), not to mention the worst RT imaginable.

Yuppppppppp. If AMD had something worthwhile it would be one thing, but right now AMD sponsored means a game that won’t run as well as other games for like most high end pc gamers. They also tend to not optimize on cpu as much, maybe that’s a coincidence, but a cpu bottleneck definitely always helps AMD on benchmarks (so you can’t see exactly how far ahead nvidia is). AMD sponsored is like the opposite of the Nintendo seal of quality from the 80s/90s at the moment and they might want to rethink whatever restrictions they have because it’s kind of doing the opposite of convincing me to ever get one of their cards.

So my PC is gonna take forever to download 155GB. Maybe you've checked this already, but have you tried 1) ensuring that you're downloading from the closest server and 2) changing the download server (even if it's to one which is further away) to see if it makes a difference? Maybe your local server is getting hammered. This can be adjusted in Steam->Settings->Downloads->Download Region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
