Shouldn't it run exactly like the base version? I have massive FPS drops

[Lykanthr0p]

The original DS ran for me at 60 fps, maxed out. This one can barely stay at 45 fps. Am I missing something?

It is not the same as the base version

Source? They implemented different features but they said nothing about graphic improvements. Besides, requirements are still the same...

Also: how do you explain the facts that the framerate doesn't change when switching from high to ultra to low? It's clear that something doesn't work properly.

You restarting the game between changes? Not uncommon for settings to not be applied if you don't on some engines.

Video game auteur Hideo Kojima and his team are delighted with the reaction to DEATH STRANDING, but they want to get the game into as many hands as possible.

“The game has been highly praised by many people who have played DEATH STRANDING over the past two years, who have found it to be a unique experience,” said Yoshikazu Matsuhana, the game’s producer. “We are very pleased to see that the game has achieved exactly what Hideo Kojima and his team wanted to deliver to the world in terms of storytelling and gameplay.”

And that’s where DEATH STRANDING: Director’s Cut on PC comes in. The Director’s Cut leap to computer brings with it new tools and equipment for players to experience, a firing range, racetrack, extra missions, and more story.

The improvement to graphics, in particular, is bound to have a huge impact on the experience because it’s through those graphics that players will experience the game’s epic narrative theme, intuitive gameplay, and puzzle-solving elements, he said.

Generally, both titles have exactly the same requirements.

"improved graphics empowered by new tech", read: XeSS, DLSS and FSR. Nothing that justifies the awful performace. Also, I repeat, requirements are the same as the OG version. And graphic settings don't seem to influence the framerate. Ergo: they need to fix this mess.

[Seraphim]

Just an idea... Maybe it has something to do with saves from the base game? Did the people who are having problems load their game? I didn't do that, not even for the achievements, I started a completely new game.

base used to run around 70/90 FPS - DC runs over 100.

[[XGS]DonkyBoY]

My game is running just fine, same as it was before the DC Maybe a tiny bit better.

NO I did NOT import my OG save file, I wanted to start a fresh game.

Max settings NO DLSS
150FPS @ The shooting range (a common area where we would be able to easily compare performances)
110FPS inside the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City
105FPS Running around out side the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City

Samsung CHG90 3840x1080 32:9

AMD Ryzen 9 3900x @4.7Ghz
Nvidia RTX 2080Ti @2.1Ghz

thats interresting, but why not replay in the same area like in the distribution centre region for the base game and compare that with your result above from the DC.

[[XGS]DonkyBoY]

cos I uninstalled the OG :*(

[Moonstar]

It runs completely smooth for me, I don't notice any frame drops. I'm running it on a laptop too, below are my specs:

i7 8750H
RTX 2060
32GB

The game is installed on my SSD

Old version:

DC version:

Even rounding it will be 70 vs 50

GPU scheduling on windows and Nvidia drivers are screwing the FPS in most of the games i played the last six months.
If you are struggling with FPS drops try to disable GPU scheduling, restart and compare.

[Seba Chinaski]

Have the same problem with the scanner in game dropping FPS; search for answers and find none.
I remember that i have the GPU scheduling enabled and i disabled and problem solved.
