My Alienware gaming PC can't handle this game?

[Ben]

Hi,

This should be impossible; please explain? How am I getting dips of up to 50% in performance on arguably the worlds best gaming pc line? Mind you, I have tried running the game with low settings.

Now that's a hot take.

lol. "My Alienware"

try

-useallavailablecores -gc.buffer 2048 -force-feature-level-11-0 -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded -maxMem=16384


in the steam game launch settings to force DX11 and better performance. id set the max mem to your max ram tho since this is an example

Come one people, give him credits! his troll is original at least!

You lose 20% performance because your rig has an Alienware logo, it’s bad for everyone if you’re under 2 hours refund if not enjoy the dips and wait for a patch

Anyways, what about gaining performance? Any advice there as per my previous post?

I guess your alienware decided to alienate you from the games performance

It's not your PC, it's the game not being optimized

I see that 2 of 8 responses here are legitimate.

Listen guys, instead of being jealous of my PC vs yours we should band together and try to figure out why I am having this problem. I am well aware that most of you have much worse rigs than I do (respectfully) and by figuring out what is wrong with the game within this thread we can then MAYBE also figure something out for owners of lesser PCs.

Lets focus less on the fact that I own an Alienware and more on finding a solution to this optimization problem not just for me but for everyone. Alienware is one of, if not the best, gaming PC available for purchase so this issue should not exist and is a very obvious sign something is wrong with the game settings.
