What the heck is wrong with this game?

[ScottyDontNZ]

I paid for this game expecting a great port because Nixxes are normally pretty good, especially since its been out for some time. First of all, screen tearing even with G Sync? Second, whenever I change graphics settings the FPS plummets to around 30FPS and only a restart fixes it. DLSS Frame Generation seems completely broken and often won't won't even show in the settings menu but FSR 3 does! When it does show, it feels stuttery and introduces even more screen tearing! Very disappointing, Nixxes normally do pretty good ports

Oh, lets not forget a bug with having Reflex on which drops FPS also. But to top it all off, when you do get things running OK with no Frame Gen, stable 80 FPS, then WHAM background loading causes something to go wrong and FPS plummets back to 30 and stays there.

it brought my i9/4070s to its knees

Thing is it CAN run absolutely fine, 100+ FPS with full ray tracing, until one of the many glitches kick in and plummet FPS

I am done personally with this OP. I hit a "dead end" of sorts where a chunk of map would not allow me to go any further. Between the horribly optimized purple gem dimension mechanic and the ineffective map layout where you need to bounce off magnetic pads and the entire theme park lack of actual exploration and invisible walls that don't reward exploration as prior games had, this is just a mechanical nightmare.

Inb4 the tired script of everyone thanking everyone and everyone being beyond understanding and kind. This is the Saints Row Volution card of R&C Insomniac, looks like one, feels like one, does it all entirely wrong and ruined the franchise. The part that upsets me is I wanted to play this. I wanted to see where the story kept going. I have to use youtube to fill the blanks as the actual slog and what I want to enjoy from this product is not here. A grown man should not have this sort of issues for a platformer which in itself is linerar.

What does this even mean?

[MonsterAb1]

Just came back to this game after a few months and it's broken. WTH!

[tailspower2023]

My MAC has more then 3 times the power the game needs and is runing Windows 11 under emulation with everything maxed out without any iusses. It just what they say my not work for you. Forexpull they belive making it digital only was a good iead but they forgot popole with bad internet like me need Blu-ray or USB Key versions. The nunber 1 reason why internet is so bad is because I can't get my landlord to let me move to new ISP.

[Bdestiny]

Yeah, still horrible performance.

I borrowed my sons AMD 6750 XT and the game runs better than it did on my 4090. Nixxes gets too much praise in my opinion. It's a Nvidia title. Frame gen and reflex doesn't work correctly.

[stratakarius]

Don't know what to say. I've been playing it on my 3090 @ 4k and laptop 4060 @ 2k no problem at all. I mean, the invisible wall stuff has been annoying for sure, but as far as bugs go, i've only experienced one where it fails to exit to desktop properly. Sometimes on the mining level switching between dimensions was a bit janky but nothing crazy.

I wonder if my 3090's 24 gigs of VRAM is actually an advantage here.

I'm going to say that the 24 gigs of VRAM is an advantage here lol. I have a 3060ti 8gb and I think this is the first time a game has straight up told me I can't go up to ultra because I don't have enough VRAM. Seems like the game uses a lot, and honestly that could be what separates your smooth experience from a lot of others in this thread.

Sadly I can't play this game at all - i get 4 fps just navigating the save file screen and the game crashes the moment I try to set graphics settings to Low...
