Last boss fight stuttering and low fps mess?

[Asfargh]

Just me or anyone else with great gaming rigs too?

[EASY PETE]

It was for me too

Same... Game is known to run bad on pc.

[Badman]

Same here.

Same on a 3060ti, even tried 1080p dlss to free up vram but still a lag fest. Frostbite engine sucks, time to go unreal 5.

the game in the same section of the ship at the end runs so horribly, but the same section in the beginning of the game runs great. im convinced there are effects particles that aren't culled out properly or poor coding at the end of the game causing these issues.

Man, my older hardware (9700K & 1080Ti 1440p High/Ultra settings) showed no change in that last scene. I still have the occassional stutters, but typically only on startup and entering new areas - totally playable. Running on Origin, so possibly Steam's version just needs patching for the steam platform?

[Metro]

Yes, that part runs quite badly regardless of the hardware or if you have the game on origin or steam. At the moment we just have to wait for a new patch, if there is one.

[Saablic]

I can confirm as well (3070 TI). There was some stutters during this fight, especially at the beginning, but overall it was playable very well, nothing too serious, but I was surprised because entire game was practically without any stuttering for me (playing on Ultra details, 34" UW monitor).

I have an RTX 3080 and dropped the resolution from 4k to 1080p to solve the vram issue, during some sections of that fight I was struggling to keep 30 fps. It's totally ridiculous and utterly indefensible, but I've yet to see EA Motive even acknowledge the problem, let alone promise to fix it.

Yep had a mostly 60fps lock (with obviously traversal stutters) through most of the game, but final boss fight saw mostly 30fps, worst when it spawned minions, almost 20fps :(
(laptop, win11, i5-11400H, 3050RTX 4GBVRAM 16GBRAM, DLSS performance, 1600x900res, DSR on, VSR on, low settings medium lighting)

Overall chapters 11 & 12 saw a bit more unstability, felt less smooth, more frequent dips here and there.

Mine it was smooth as butter like the rest of the game.
