How is the performance so bad?

[D]

I just started the game to see how it runs and the fps is all over the place (I have a 3080ti). I go from 60fps to 35 with three enemies in front of me. I kill them and it goes up to 60 again (without even moving). Even when it runs over 100 fps (putting a couple of settings to high and in performance mode), moving the camera feels off (like its dragging the image) and the stuttering is constant. This game is reminding me a lot to Steel rising in that sense.....

After waiting for two weeks, I was expecting a lot more than this crappy performance. I normally run games with everything topped, but this game doesn't feel right at all even at higher fps.

Also, I can already see that even in the tutorial they throw at you three enemies at the same time and they take almost half of your life in one hit (two in the front and in hitting from the back...), when they haven't even told you how to block, dodge or parry...... extremely disappointed, to be honest. There's a difference between being difficult and being unfair. And I can already see that this game is going to be more annoying to play than anything else.

I'll play something else for now. We'll see if they actually fix something. Because I see a lot of patches, but the performance is pathetic and five minutes in I can already tell that the gameplay is going to be a nightmare.... What a waste...

Sounds like, you gonna have a hard time with this game. Are you able to refund?

No, I bought the code in an external site. But that's fine, I'd like to play the game at some point if they end up fixing it..

last patch made the perfomance worse??????????

[JellyBean]

a. Go to: "X:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Local\LOTF2\Saved\"
b. Delete the *.UPIPELINECACHE file

THIS worked for me

It's going to be a problem with any Unreal 5 engine based game moving forward, at least until mainstream hardware catches up. That being said, they can still do a lot to improve performance and stability and I am sure they will in the coming days/weeks/months.

I locked my FPS to 90FPS and while I do get some drops it is mostly stable. I do find a steady FPS is less jarring than having FPS go really high then low (to state the obvious).

The issue is on the user side.

My rig: i9 12900kf, RTX 3080Ti, 32GB DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, Win11. It runs the game perfectly stable at 1440p and mostly ultra settings. I played it at 4k as well but I switched to 1440p to keep it fluid. There is some minor stutter and few areas where under certain conditions the game get choppy.

Yeah im sure you are right, after Remnant2 and this i have no doubt. These times of rushed releases combined with a new tech is a very bad mix :_(

Remnant 2 is a great souls like too in my opinion now you mention it and yeah the performance is also a bit rough at times. I have a high end PC so I can deal with it but it was also rough at first but those devs were also pumping out updates and they got on top of the problems pretty fast.

But if you have an old/low end PC, you're still not going to be having a great time even now. Just reality with new tech

I agree with you. Performance is still terrible. No more than 60% Gpu use. tested on multiple pc's with 4080, 4090 and 3080ti. Not even 30% Cpun. Performance still needs ALOT of work I dont care what these people happy with sub par performance say

[Hallucinating Honey Badger]

EVERY PATCH the performance gets worse. Its clear they dont know how to optimise for UE5 its that simple.

I'm using framegen to play this game. Capping the fps on 60-82 gets me 120-164 end results. I could go for native 120 but in some areas, especially in umbral it drops from 120 to 111 without framegen. Had 40-82 previously. Almost cleared whoel game with this. I'm now at Bramis castle and have no issues. Only Issues I had were on the very first day. Refunded the game and bought it again few days later.

Use dlSS or put setting down, some settings enable ray tracing without being explicit about it.

"some settings enable ray tracing without being explicit about it"

Yeah true, i read that somewhere else earlier ;-)

A lets player i watched had a 4090 and had to play on low to make the Pieta fight bareable without stuttering, he was very pi**ed to say the least :-/

I have a 4090 and yeah the Pieta fight has massive FPS drops with some attacks, it actually made it harder than it should have been as well

[Picklefather Nurgle]

The game is using the latest tech in the Unreal Engine, I think. Its choppy and has performance issues because this game is one of a new generation that are all effectively beta-testing the engines and figuring out how to optimize it in-real-time.

That being said, I really like the new stuff the Unreal Engine is doing. There were settings in the menus for this game that all had variants of "will increase frame-rate using AI". The engine itself is starting to become optimized, and it only seems to be getting better. I think once the hiccups are firmly dealt with, games will be massively smooth on most devices.

well having a 3080ti or even a 4090 means nothing without other specs. And even then, so many people have tons of crap installed that slows down their system. I know its frustrating when a game does not run well, but its not always the developers fault. in this case i think it is part their fault and part on some users end. my friend has a 3080 (non ti) and i have a 4090. we both played the game without any issues. he at 1440p locked to 60fps and me at 4k with frame gen at 120fps. I also maxed out all settings.
So there are people who can run this game just fine. in our cases we both have decent CPUs, fast ram and the game installed on a NVM pcie 4.0 SSD.
I think people need to realize that these newer UE5 games need more than a good GPU.

So why is the game only using 70 % of the Cpu and 40% of the GPU ? ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimisation and nothing else sorry to say .
