Is the game still broken?

[NitekPL]

When I bought it on launch day it only worked in -dx11 mode and normal mode just gave fatal errors and I was unable to launch. [refunded]
I want to play this game in HDR mode and if I am supposed to pay so much I want it to work properly.

Is it fixed or still sh*t? :]
I am a Silent Hill fan but I can't accept sh*tty UE ports. :]

For me it worked great as long as I played it at 720p, but now it just crashes repeatedly and hiccups so often it's completely unplayable now. I've got a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC so I was surprised I could play it at all, but I cleared it 3 times to get 100% of the achievements, and it was quite good. It crashed a handful of times, but again, terrible rig so it was expected.

Now it's just unplayable.

wtf do you mean by "UE Port" though? It's made in UE... it's not a port.... UE distributes to all platforms equally, it's not like the old days where they had to take a game's weird janky proprietary engine and then port it to PC from the console. It was made from the ground up on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC in UE5.... the same code functions identically on any platform. If phones were powerful enough, it'd work there too if they decided to export the project for Android and IOS.

So many of you need to take ten minutes and actually learn about game development because the idiocy surrounding people's criticism of games is astounding.

Had no problems. Really seems a coin toss who gets them.

Try this mod[www.nexusmods.com], it worked for me, read the description!

its not a problem that it needs dx11 , its by designe
and no, its not "fixed" cuz there is nothing to fix
use -dx11 and play

I use -dx11 and set the Framerate to 30 FPS. Honestly for this kind of game not a big deal for me. My PC is a midrange PC from 2021 and I play on 2560 x 1440 resolution medium settings, game looks great and very few barely notable stutters when entering new areas. Reading what people had to say about this game I thought it would be 100 times worse and was prepared to refund.

No RT with dx11.

To topic starter: you can see how many matches were released. They've changed almost nothing and don't want to do anything.

Still borked and is looking more and more to be abandoned, never be fixed. FSR looks like blurry, butter smeared trash, XeSS looks like a through a screen door view, pixelated mess. Stutters are still bad. Performance is atrocious. The startup crash is even worse and harder to get around now.

While the game does run for me arguably native performance is very bad, because UE5 and poor optimization and FSR/XeSS have indeed problems with artifacts. XeSS less than FSR, but still not really great. The game is "playable", but like many people apparently, I had crashes on first startup (DX12), it was trial and error to get it to work, so overall there are very certainly quite a few issues with the recent game version that should be better :).
