Demo performance after the patch

[Nokrahs]

So far so good? Stutter is gone for me now.
Shadows look poor in some scenes combined with the lighning engine and some assets pop in late when switching locations the but gameplay is smooth for me now.

9900k / 3080 rtx / 32 gb ram / nvme drive)

I'm not getting any stutters either, it only stuttered during the loading screen after loaded my previous save game. It was already fine for be before though, after I explored the whole game.

Stutters are gone, but overall performnce is still bad for a game that looks like this, I'm getting the best performance with AMD FSR Upscaling option (eventhough I have Nvidia GPU). The strange thing is that whenever cutscenes are played the performance drops as if cutscenes used different rendering options?

I noticed that as well. Getting serious fps drops on cutscenes, for some weird reason.

Yes, the update seems to have fixed the stuttering for my on my i9-1300KS/4090 rig. With DLSS quality and frame gen, getting like 150 FPS average and smooth as butter. And this game does actually look pretty good. What is the engine?

I played the game before the patch and had some horrendous stutters , especially during gun fights.
Turns out that G-Sync was enabled on my monitor ( which i thought was a GOOD thing ) and when I turned it off the game ran smoothly, in fact I don't recall any stutters at all after that.

Was about to try again and now I'm downloading the 34Gb update!!

(FYI @heatlesssun it's Unreal Engine 4 )

If you have a decent gpu you shouldn't be having any major fps issues. Are you using the resolution scale slider correctly for the other upscale options? A lot of people have an issue figuring that out I noticed on many new games that use the slider.

TAA will net you good performance too, but you have to put the resolution scale down to 67% for example that would be equal to "Quality mode".
TSR looks better than most at 67% res scale.
XESS looks pretty good too at quality mode, but sometimes it can cause ghosting on non intel gpu's and it robs a few more fps for the quality.

It uses Unreal engine 5.2. If they update to 5.3 it will look and run even better, as with most games when the time comes.

That is good fps on your 4090.

I am getting great results on a 6950xt too with amd Fluid motion frames.
I can get 170-200 fps at 1440p Ultra settings with all upscale methods at quality mode.

3060, 32gb ram at 1440p. game run indeed smoother now and texture dont load up as frequently.

[MadAsAHatter]

No stutters anymore.

[Self Destructive]

Huge thanks to the developers for listening to the feedback and getting the issue sorted! Always appreciate that!

[Maniac4Fun]

On my old computer, Ryzen 7 1700, Gtx 1660 Super, 16Gb ram, the game runs around 50/62fps on medium or high settings. Oh, and after the patch the stuttering disappeared. Way to go👍

[ko]

The demo runs much, much better now. Kudos to the devs for putting in work to fix it. Many big budget publishers don't even do that when they releases fubar garbage.

This is back on my purchase list.

[Darth Siles]

Not much of a change for me. Stutter here and there. Not that much as before the patch, but still there.

Intel Core i7-10870H - 16GB RAM - SSD HD and RTX 3070 Mobile.

Maybe a little bit of better performance but not much.

EDIT: After some minutes, seems that the stuttering is mostly gone. Weird.

[NickDestroyer2]

I saw one person complaining that some visuals were downgraded after patch. Is it true or just some fake complaint?
