Thanks for the demo :(

Was so excited for this game, but I can't get a stable 60 FPS even at 720p without the game looking absolutely terrible. The shadows are critical to the games look and my RX5700 is having absolutely none of it. I COULD play with shadows turned off, but it's like being in a strip club when the lights come on at closing time. Disgusting.

I was thinking that it needs more time to cook. Game looks good but doesn't move so fluidly on a 2080Ti. Guess will wait to look at the reviews.

Which is CRAZY because the 2080 is the recommended card!

Have you tried turning down the mirror reflections? I'm pretty sure that's what was causing my low FPS after messing around with the settings.

I tried the game in nvidia stereoscopic 3D so it was pushing twice the number of frames it would normally. Granted the 2080Ti can handle everything else just fine at 720p so I suspected it was the game.

Even leaving all the reflections on the lowest settings it just ran terribly. All the recommended cards are NVIDIA so wondering if this game just doesn't play nice with AMD.

I'm a 1060 3gb pleb and it ran stable 40 on all medium, 30 fps if I crank most things to high.

So it ran horrible for you. Very useful feedback xdd

"Recommended" settings are typically only officially stated at the onset of the actual release. Anything prior to that is a guess of what it *might* be at best.

I have a 3080 and had to drop the resolution down from 4K to my custom 3560x1960 res that I use for games that don't run well in order to get a solid 85 fps v-synced at 85Hz. That's with DLSS enabled and every single setting optimised meaning anything that added fps without being a noticeable visual downgrade compared to max settings, was reduced. Which resulted in mostly high/max settings.

The reason I had to v-sync it instead of using g-sync was the frametime variance is too much un-vsynced even with an fps cap set in RTSS: the time between frames is inconsistent such that my VA panel monitor flickered like crazy. The same will happen on OLEDs with this game.

In short: yes it performs badly and there's not that much you can do about it. It's the unreal engine. Dead Space is an exception but I play most of my games at 4K and at 100+ fps after tweaking settings.

An even bigger problem IMO is that the game is entirely centered around resource gathering/scrapping and crafting - it's always that same crap in modern games, I can't stand it anymore. It would've been such a great atmospheric exploration game too. The game is too much work, the crafting plus working with the tedious UI and unintuitive controls.

What makes you keep going is to uncover the mystery/story but meanwhile actual gameplay is very tedious. So if you can't run it, it's not the end of the world.

The typical recommendation (if using relatively up-to-date NVIDIA drivers) is to always use GSYNC and VSYNC in conjunction. GSYNC is the primary driving force and VSYNC only kicks in when necessary to pick up the pieces.

Anything above 30 is perfectly playable, get on my level.

Anything under 85 is unplayable to me.

Under 85 I start to see the individual frames when looking around, .

I really feel sorry for you

I had quite stable fps with 4th gen i5 and 8gb rx580 on medium to high settings, I didn't expect It to run at all lol
