Is this game fine now?

[Enju]

I didn't buy this game before because a lot people said it's not optimized yet.

It took me upgrading to a 4070 and Ryzen 7700X to finally push through at 1440p medium 60fps, even then still dipping to the 40's quite often.

If your system is on the upper end of the scale, it'll be fine. But anything even close to the recommended targets and you'll probably have a poor time.

Not sure what your doing wrong, I played this with a 6700xt, a 6800 and now a 4060 and all performed fine, much better than 20 fps. As I said earlier, Im playing now an a 4060, dlss, 1440p, mostly ultra settings with a few high and get 60 fps.

It will always depend. Last time I tested the latest update (and for what Im seeing last), it improved a lot, but some problems with stutters, textures and crashes still there, but not in the Alpha condition that the games was on launch, better saying, it was launched with the patch 1.1.2 on august 2023. If you buy form Steam directly you can test it and see for yourself if it is worth your money. If not, get your refund.

Knowing the game from PS3, that was my worst buy ever for PC. summing with CP2077 and Sniper Elite 5. Ill never buy again pre or after launch. Never more.

The problem is AMD graphics cards and its been this way since the RX 480 days and probably before that. If you go into any discussion thread on Steam over the last 15 years and read about people having problems with game performance, AMD graphics cards are the most common denominator.

Their GPU firmware is and always has been garbage compared to Nvidia, and anyone who tries to tell you that their drivers are like "fine wine" has probably been drinking too much wine themselves.

Ive owned and played many games with a 6600, 6600xt, 6700xt, 6800, and now 4060.

No issues with any of them in Cyberpunk, Diablo 4, Darktide, Last of Us, Baldurs Gate 3, LoL, PoE, and 20+ other random indie titles. No issues ever. Not sure what your talking about.

I waste plenty of time on forums to in all those games, and theres more than enough, my 3070, 3080, 3060 ti issues on all of them.

[Light91]

I am on a 3050 ti laptop with only 4 gb of vram. it runs fine on low settings with a few medium. not a single crash. I am close to completing the game with 15 hours. Have had a few hiccups only during cinematics so not a big deal.

[Xeno]

No bugs, no crash, all runs well at High/Ultra Settings. 2K / 1440p native. Fast loading time, about max 10 seconds. Didn’t expect this on my old system. Well except the GPU.

60-85 FPS depents on Level or Area.

Hope for Part 2 on 2024.

Intel I7 5930k 4.3GHz / AMD RX6750XT 12GB VRAM / 32GB 2400MHz DDR4 Ram / SSD SATA 2.5

This is unfair, AMD has had issues in the past with things but RDNA2 and RDNA3 are solid. I had a 6700xt for a couple of years and it was a great card, and it punched above its weight in TLOUP1, outperforming the more powerful 3070 at least initially thanks to the larger frame buffer. I think that Nvidia is probably the better all-around choice, considering DLSS + things you can do with CUDA + RT perf + Reflex + NVENC + GSYNC + Frame Gen on 4000 series. I now have a 4070 but the 7800xt is arguably the better value (at least it was before the 4070 Super). AMD drivers were fine, literally never had any issues with them. Also have a Steam Deck which has done a great job playing TLOU and 98% of everything I throw at it, the 2% that doesn't work is usually because of Proton/Linux and not because of AMD. And if you wanna talk about Borked drivers, Nvidia's GR driver from December 12th (546.33) was complete trash, it was causing every game to crash on my system if I enabled Frame Gen. And it wasn't just me, look on Nvidia forums, it was causing tons of issues for other people too. I had to roll back to the previous one until the January driver. Either company can have a bad driver from time to time, but this idea that AMD is lower quality because of their drivers is not the case with current generations, I can't speak about previous ones as I have never owned one of their cards before RDNA2 because I have only been gaming on PC at this level for the last several years.

[ziasmdo]

i had no problems on my system, just some drops and broken animations in cutscenes sometimes, (3060 TI- i5 12400f DDR4)

[lowtekgamer]

No. I just bought it and can't start it up to the main menu without crashing.

[Abbbby333]

playing this on a 2019 16" Macbook Pro configured with a bootcamp partition to run windows 10. It has an Intel i9-9880H CPU @ 2.30GHz and an AMD Radeon Pro 5500M w/ 8gb vram. I'm about 3 hours in with no crashes and although its not running super amazingly, it better than I expected and is definitely playable. Shaders took about an hour to set up.

[Sigiltfo]

For me the game works like butter, ive had no crashes, and the game has only stuttered during one part of gameplay. Then again no matter how many people say its good now, it all depends on your system.

[BDA]

I played for 3 hours straight away.
(ci7 13700k/32GB/ASUS RTX4090/SSD ASUS RoG Strix NSD S1N10/Win 11)
Nvidia driver v546.31
The legendary shader compilation took just a few minutes...
1080p(my monitor can't more ) with visualisation 140% +HDR -
all settings at Max - 120+ stable fps.
The optimization is really bad. Since I expected more from my video card at 1080p.
But I didn’t notice any technical problems.
But the photo mode took one screenshot and that’s it, it no longer responded to F10.

anyone else having problems with joel auto walking without holding the w button

[Furki4_4]

I played it without any crashes for the first 3-4 hours but then it started crashing all the time. I think you should buy other games that you might wanna play till this game is fully fixed.

[Mind]

I bought it when it came out and just started yesterday and have absolutely no issues at all to report as of yet in my first 5 hours of game play

[Stupofy]

i brought this recently and its been running at 60fps pretty consistently but can drop sometimes in places like when heavy rain is present but that is probably as i'm using a RTX 2070 super, Ryzen 5 5600x, 16gb of ram and playing on 1440p - high-ultra settings with dlss on quality, pretty much the entire 8gb of vram is being used so i'm not surprised with the drops. The game itself runs perfectly no issues so I imagine with a even better GPU you'd be just fine but this is just my experience so far
