FPS issues are just too much
Ashamed to admit it, but I'm dropping the difficulty down to story. FPS spiking down to 5 makes this functionally unplayable at normal difficulty.

I've been waiting for this game since it was announced, so I'll be damned if I refund it.

Well, i was able to pass through the tutorial and the trial of position. But the first actual mission... I just can't properly fight with that FPS.

Same, man, but on Win 10. Not that I want to defend Win 11 but this specific time it's not the bad guy =)

I tried it on both of my systems, 9900X/7900XTX and 13700K/4070ti and its pretty smooth for me, the only time I saw any frame drops was when there was a gigantic explosion (dropship). Otherwise its been very good. That being said, the weapons effects look so terrible compared to MW5 Mercs, its crazy. They look like something from OG playstation.
Crazy right? Mercs are acutally superb on all fronts. Well, maybe apart from customization.

Also glad to hear at least someone here doesn't have any problems.

New patch was a massive improvement on fps

Did it help to go full screen at all and not windowed? I have had such a smooth experience thus far. The lag spikes during a fight may be a CPU issue.

I personally only ever played on fullscreen.

Oh god, ok. Guess if the most atrocious sounds the one can make are with electric guitar then it's the electric guitar issue and everyone should play classic instruments. Right? Lol.


Is this Tim Sweeney? It's a well documented issue with UE5 and you pretending it doesn't exist is just silly at this point. You are the same guy that will post under a Digital Foundry video with evidence playing right in front of you and screech "plays fine on my system". Meanwhile Epic itself has been trying to fix these issues with each version update to the engine and still hasn't been able to.

Go ahead and post that video with frame time graph so we can all see that rock solid line that you claim to have.

AMD cards are in for a bit more trouble here, but anyone that has an Nvidia card that has access to DLSS features needs to swallow their PC pride a bit and turn those features on. The difference in quality is minimal in the increase in performance is substantial.

Can you post a video of that with the performance stats on so we can see how smooth it is?

Sorry no I'm not making it up I'm playing in story mode though not tried medium.

Not u[dated my drivers to current version either running 560.94.

So far not had one ctd or stutter.

This is a 12th gen high end rig I built.

I saw the negative reviews and seeing it was on game pass whuch I have ultimate from BT with my broadband I got it for free.

But trust me it works fine for me.
