Abandonware?

[Awkin]

Have the devs given up trying to fix this broken game? No patch in over 2 months.

Maybe we'll get some fixes bundled with the DLSS 4 update that's supposedly coming tomorrow...?

NVIDIA's website claimed SH2 was gonna be one of the launch-day titles with *official* DLSS 4 support and *officially* it's out tomorrow, so if Bloober sticks up to it, then we have to get a patch tomorrow at most

"Abandonware is a product, typically software, ignored by its owner and manufacturer, which can no longer be found for sale, and for which no official support is available and cannot be bought."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware
The game can be bought no problem, so it is not abandonware by definition.

What's broken? I've played it from beginning to end with no issues whatsoever.
I mean, you don't even own the game. So how do you even know if anything is broken? Buy the game first, then complain second if you find problems.

Get the game an try for yourself. If you have an issue with it, you can refund. This is, in no way, a broken game.

I don't need to waste time going through the steam refund process when digital foundry and other sources definitively prove that the game suffers from significant stuttering issues regardless of hardware. It may not have affected your experience much, but to those who are sensitive to that stuff, like me, it will.

It does, It runs like ♥♥♥♥ on high end PCs.

Come on now! Let's be fair....it only runs badly, if you can actually get it to start at all beyond the Unreal Engine, Proto, Unhandled Exception crashes!

It's a great game and for many, perfectly playable.

But let's not pretend it doesn't have a lot of technical issues. Some people would like to see those issues resolved.

Why so hateful towards a potential new customer?

You're wasting just as much time debating here.
I did watch the Digital Foundry video when it came out. When comes to PC, there is no such a thing as "regardless of hardware"... that is precisely what makes porting games to PC so problematic compared to consoles. Each hardware combination is different and will handle things differently. I'm not denying the game doesn't have issues, but what you saw in Digital Foundry doesn't mean it will affect you.

For starters, they show what hardware they tried the game on.. It's simply not the same as mine. Not the same CPU, not the same brand, not the same brand of GPU or anything in between.

Second, most of the video is targeting 160 to 200fps.. which is not something I'm trying to go after. I don't even have a screen higher than 60hz. So targeting a lower FPS will not result in the same issues Digital Foundry reported on.

And then there was the segment at the end of the video called "Broken Animation/Delta Time" which is an issue that it DID NOT happen on my end whatsoever.

So yeah.. trying for yourself is the only way to see if it works for you.

Did I experience stutters? Yes, on occasion.. like one single stutter every hour or two of gameplay. Entirely neglectable... more importantly in my case, avoidable.

Avoidable because stutters would only occur if I'm running fullspeed through multiple areas... but as a slow pace survivor horror game, that is probably not how you play the game.
