Well you heard wrong Game is loading and working just fine. I've played it right thru now 3 times with No problems at all.

Ran like ♥♥♥♥ on my 4090+5900x back when it first came out, downloading it now for the first time since launch but not feeling too confident since the last patch was all the way back in august and I haven't heard about the game receiving any impressive improvements, fingers crossed ig.

4090 here, Overall its fine but i get strange slow downs and stuttering without the fps going really down.
TLOU is the only game with this problem

How is it running for you?

Its not great. Its a really demanding game in terms of hardware. It needs a great CPU and GPU to get the most out of the game. All that said, the game looks really good visually, but suffers on performance without really fast hardware.

It actually runs quite well for me, but that's a matter of perspective. I played in WQHD at maximum settings and mostly had between 80 and 120 fps, but there are also a few places where I only had around 45 to 60 fps, which is disappointing, but it was pretty rarely.

i5 !3th, 4070, 16GB - runs fine, no problems. Just dont put everything on ultra. It was also running ok with a 2070 and i5 9th. some loading hickups, thats all

[JimmyTheSaint™]

Im always wary of the terms "fine" and "well". Its so subjective, one persons fine, is quite bad to another. Or they say it runs fine, but admits it dips from 100+fps to 40ish fps. Thats not fine to me. Without actual benchmark results its worthless information and mostly opinion.

I found a recent video comparing an older version of the game to the current. Its not entirely useful if you dont have similar hardware, but it does show significant improvements to the performance of the game in that particular section of the game.

4090 also and stuttering with high fps (only outside is stutter free).
Only way I can make it smooth is to set 60Hz in NVCP but why ♥♥♥♥ should have to do that!

Massive frame drops when I get to that warehouse with the 3 guys when going after Robert, right after the previous areas with the other enemies you can sneak by, fight, or stealth takedown.

I have an AMD RX 6700 10GB, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 3.4GHz, 16GB RAM with XMP profile 3200Mhz speed, and a 1080 75hz FreeSync display. Smart Access Memory is on, which really shows how much VRAM this game will eat if you aren't careful.

It was running great on high, even without AMD FSR, but AMD FSR quality looks almost exactly the same if not even better so I had that on quality. It was running like a dream until I hit a huge 20 to 25 frame drop in that indoor area. When I leave it, the framerate goes back to being smooth.

I heard it's caused by having not enough RAM... but I sadly can't upgrade my RAM because I'm afraid to do it because the last time I tried it wrecked the previous PC and I had to buy this one after that ( near the end of last year in 2022 ), an emergency purchase because I do everything with my PC including gaming AND my freelance digital art work. This is a highly rated PC, and it has some upgradeability. I heard it's also caused by not having enough RAM in proximity to enemies or NPCs... but that wasn't happening before, maybe some minor 5 to 10 frame drops when there's large dynamic crowds like at the start. It was still smooth at well above 65 frames and mostly staying at 75 frames.

I am only confident with GPU upgrades, not RAM, I was able to upgrade from the RX 6600 XT 8GB that came with this PC to the RX 6700. So far it's a great upgrade, that extra VRAM really helps... until this game. I am starting to wonder if it's really RAM that is making games perform worse, like Starfield.

The lowest settings also don't fix the frame drops in that area, I checked. It will drop to 50 and stay stuck there until I leave that area. Temps are great, especially thanks to AMD FSR, but they are fine before without it. 62c for both CPU and GPU, utilization for both is 50% to 80%, they play well with eachother so I don't know if this is a bottleneck or not.

Guess I gotta wait even longer to play this game.

I don't understand why the first Sony games were such great ports, Detroit become human and basically everything after that. I purchased all of them, but this game seem to get bad reviews for preformance which should not be a weak as it is, many people including I are still on fullHD and if the game offers a way to compromise graphically wise, there should not be any reason to have the bad perfomance it now has. I mean people with 4000 series nvidia and 5000 series amd cpu's are having bad experiences, what has the world not become....I ask myself

[Magic Tofu Cat]

you know how it goes.. wait what do you mean we are renedering the same frame 15 times too slow it done.. yes buy a playstation works fine

On a 5800X + 3070 it runs well on the "high" preset with a few things manually pushed up further, at 1440p with DLSS set to Quality. The FPS Is highly variable, as in some scenes run at 100 FPS and some run at around 60. But even in those demanding scenes, it never drops under 60. So it's okay.

This is all a bit subjective, like said here, but I played the game a few months ago without any issues. Meaning there was nothing that bothered me. I played it with a RTX 3070+ Ryzen 5800 X3d, 32 GB DDR4 3200, installed on a Samsung NVME SSD. I could not always hold 60 FPS natively 1440 P but it was close enough to be perfectly fine (for me). There were some hickups or stutters but I could count them with one hand :). So, I had a great experience without ANY crash and no issues with the shader compilation.

By now I have switched to a RX 7900XT because of raw performance and the good amount of VRAM and a two Monitor setup with primarily a 4K monitor for gaming. Now I can hold 60 FPS 4K natively (on average, dips are possible) or 80-100 FPS 1440 P native on the other monitor as a "power saving mode". If I play the game again at 4K and dips bother me too much I will use mild upscaling, which still looks asolutely convincing in this game.

Otherwise still no issues with the game or shader compilation, but I will admit that the investment for this is very significant.
