The game still has performance issues on PC after all that time?

[Sombrero]

I bought the game on Epic at launch and the game keeps crashing for no reason and has slowdowns (and yes trust me I know about all the hacks to make the game runs better, I went through all of them).

I read reviews and it seems the game is still in the same state? Is this a joke? The game is like a year old now and they still can't make it work on PC? Hello? I'd like to play the videogame I bought on a PC that has more than the recommended hardware to run it, is it really asking too much in 2023 or what?

Get a console and pretty much all crashes and compatibility problems are gone. Simple and clear. Ultra graphics settings and over 120fps only means anything if you can afford high end PC anyways. We all know the only reason most people prefer PCs is just because they can easily pirate anything they don't feel like buying.

The piracy comment is just stupid. Why comment such absurdities?
I own both PS5 and PC, PS5/consoles are superior for console designed games.
But PC is GOAT for many people on other games.

It just depends. This black & white immature stance isn't realistic.

All I can tell you is I'm not having any issues on a 3080 high end pc.

You clown I have a 4090 with a 13900k and this game stutters like crazy..... even with dlss enabled playing at 4K. I easily get over a 120 frames, but the game has horrible frametime issues. You are lying saying this game is stable. Lol and bud that build is not high end..... cope.

Do not pretend piracy isn't a thing because it is a fact. Even people who have more than enough money to keep high end PCs and buy games as they please does like to fill their mouths to brag about "how they gonna piracy games to punish devs" when they don't like a game design decision or simple because they think the game is not worth the price. Or becuase they got mad by poor optimization or some other nonsese related to gender ideology, localization, no mod support, no keyboard&mouse support, and sometimes even about how the game was advertised. Then they proceed to refund the game and pirate it. I've seen plenty of this already, especially for games that are single player only.

And console always going to be the best choice now. Because most games that goes to PC nowadays are mere ports from the console builds rather than the other way around. The old days were most games were made to PC first and then adapted to consoles later are long gone. Save by the games made by indie studios, RTS or Simulator genre alike.
So before you go off offending any console players and calling them "low rig 60fps peasants", do not forget that you are the ones getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ports that barely runs on your powerful machines most of the time.

You're actually wrong about "most PC games are mere ports". Most of the games are actually developed for XBOX Series X and PS5 at the same time, and when game is developed for XSX it's pretty much is developed for the PC, because XSX uses same DX12 API as PC does.

There are literally TWO instances(and by that I mean certain short events), where the game slows down(not counting any cutscenes, just gameplay).

We've also established that CPUs with too many cores are the problem as games do not utilize more then 4, your CPU is a problem here and if you decided to keep reading the thread instead of raging at my answer, you'd see the very cause for your own stutters-which again, is nothing to do with the game, but the fact you can't optimize everything for every single piece of hardware and every single configuration of it.

You have overkill CPU that isn't utilized properly and you have some BIOS digging to fix that.

This is bullsh*t. If he doesn't have issues in the rest of the games, it's clearly a problem with the game itself. What BIOS has to do with it?

Quit trying to think it's not working out for you

After about 2 hours of play the game began to stutter hard even while showing 100+ fps. Haven't logged in since hoping for a patch soon.

You think game has performance issues ? Then you don't want to hear how it looked and perform on 1.03 :D It's like 9000% better now. Still can drop heavily due to massive textures and models but at least it's playable now.

Ge force RTX 2060 gaming laptop. I have black screens when trying to play the game. The audio works and I can hear myself moving the character but can't see a thing

[A.K.T.]

The game's performance has improved considerably. The only significant problem at this point is Soul Bursts completely destroying the framerate. From what I've seen though, you can do the following and it fixes most of the game's problems:

• Set framerate to 60. Game speed is tied to framerate and 120FPS just halves game speed during major frame dips.
  
• Set screen space reflections to OFF. Whatever Soul Burst does with reflections, it's a performance disaster.
  
• If your framerate is still chugging, drop 3D resolution scaling. It's a significant visual degradation, but it's a big performance boost as well.

Those alone should fix most framerate problems for anyone who actually hits the system requirements for this game and have the rest of their settings configured appropriately.

For those still looking for a solution, this the only thing that worked for me:

Totally my fault for using the cores my CPU shipped with....

Disabling e-cores does nothing.

Don't know what to tell you but I couldn't play at all, absolute stutterfest, tried everything, and after disabling e-cores in BIOS I've had absolutely no problem co-oping with a buddy every day since. 120fps, dipping to ~100 at worst.

There are likely other issues, but I promise one of them is the game not being optimized to use the right cores on the latest gens of intel CPUS, which leads to crazy bottlenecks on the CPU, until you disable those cores.

Since doing so I haven't had any other obvious problems with the PC, other than possibly it running a bit hotter (but it's also just been rapidly getting warmer in my area this week so it could also be in my head).

It's absolutely an issue with a poorly developed/optimized game - it just so happens that disabling the ecores is a workaround until we have a better answer.

Disabling e-cores does nothing. I have 12900K and I see on the frame pacing graph of Special K that it's not doing anything at all. What really helps is disabling sleep for threads in Special K.
