UE5 probably means horrible optimization protocal in development

[Rahk]

UE5 seems to instill the worst optimized games you've ever seen, I really hope Tripwire brings their A-game for getting the game to run properly on current gen hardware or else they'll be losing a significant portion of their playerbase right off the bat. If I test this game on a Intel Core i9-9900K and RTX 4090 with 32 GB of DDR5 and it can't maintain 60 FPS at all times at 1080p witthout DLSS or Frame Gen I will refund it and tell all my friends to avoid ever buying it. That is a VERY VERY low bar and It is really sad that that's how low I have to set it after seeing other recent games release unable to do even that. Ideally the game should be playable with say an AMD Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 3060 and 16 GB of DDR4 (these seem to be the popular specs for most steam users or roughly in the ballpark of what most steam users have) with a smooth 60 at 1080p or even 1440p on medium settings but given how things have been going in the industry they seem to want to rely on experimental technologies to handle all the optimization for them while introducing new problems that have never existed by doing so. If push comes to shove I know people may just do some .ini file tweaking to remove the stupid bloat in the engine but honestly the game would be better for it if the devs take a serious look at every single string of code in the engine and decide "does this have a place in our game or could we implement something simpler and easier to render for the exact same effect?"

I Bet it doesnt run without Upscalers, could be a Consoles Port - Who knows..

The alternative would've been to overtax Unreal Engine 4 in the same manner that KF2 overtaxed UE3.

The older Unreal Engine versions were good at what they could do, but since they're no longer being supported, there's an upper limit to what can be added to a new game before things start to break.

If KF3 were to run on UE4, they'd likely have to do a heavily stylized artstyle with low fidelity assets to give an amount of headroom for future updates.

Look at KF2 when it came out and how long it took them to fix that. Not to mention dismemberment effect never even worked and looked like jelly lol. I bet it has micro transactions though and they work. Paid games having micro transactions what a joke this series has become. The graphics don't even look at that great and the gameplay is about the same, remember what they promised for kf2? The amount of times they said they would be adding stuff to the game but never did.

I still remember when they said the KF2 upgrade system was "a work in progress" and that the version that is still in the game to this day is a "early iteration"

-I really hope 1080 res gets a stable 60fps on release, that's an expected bar nowadays IMO.

-I probably will cut them some slack if 1440p is a bit janky as long as we see continued updates ironing it out. But the updates have to come. Haha.

I see lots of UE5 games that are unoptimized on their launch day.

I pray that this game can handle all the technicalities.

With what OP mentioned about specs, my gear is really close to that right now too lol.

Played marvel rivals and it can barely maintain 60frames on stressful moments on low 1080p res. (With around 70% cpu utilization and 80%+ gpu utilization)

With the launch of Stalker2 the situation surrounding KF3 on UE5 is looking quite dire indeed. Can't wait for 30fps gaming to be the norm all over again.

Absolutely All UE5 games has poor performance. You can compare Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries (UE4) and Mechwarrior 5: Clans (UE5). This is almost similar games and nice to compare. Games uses the same assets and has nearly same graphics. Maps and mechanichs are similar. But framerate (on my PC) 60-100fps for MW5:Mercs at High grapics, and 15-40 fps for MW5:Clans at Minimal graphics.
This is obvious the engine's fault.
UE5 is a cancer of games.

I think people are conveniently ignoring the horrendous optimization of KF2. Unreal Engine 3 was pretty good for when it was new, though I'm of the mindset that KF2 should be seen as a cautionary tale in regards to what happens if a developer were to blatantly disrespect the limitations of what an old and unsupported game engine can do

Fortnite kind of sucks to run after some updates they made to the visuals. It went from one of the easiest games to run to strangely being super intensive without a lot of changes to game settings.

Meanwhile, me running the game on a custom low config on a 3800X+3070 combo while also upscaling from 900p just to get some palatable frames

PC components back then was way cheaper than now. So average PC can run kf2

That was before the game was bloated to hell and back. Fast forward to now, no amount of hardware can get you a decent framerate without setting most things to low
