PC heat?

[Rose Borger]

i don't know if this is my pc doing things or not, but why does this specific game make my pc go near 90ºC everytime I try to play it for like 5 minutes? This doesn't happen with other games at all...

Try using the lower settings, or set a frame limit to reduce performance overhead if you keep having issues. What specs does your laptop have?

I just tried the demo and it is for me the same.....besides the 90°C but GPU fan is ramping up immedietly and the worst part is the GPU is 100% used and uses 6-7GB VRAM....so why is that? The game isn't that graphically now. Even newer games doesn't do that for me....well at least not instantly AND constantly....just rarely sometimes.

I did, still heavy on the pc for some reason! My pc is:

CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 2600 6-core
GPU: Radeon RX 580
16GB Ram

I am having the same issue. The game shouldn't feel this hard to run on my GPU. My fans go crazy trying to cool my system but can handle much bigger games with better graphics well.

Yes...it feels like the dev said "just use all gpu ressource there is" aka not optimized because I just play avowed and even there it is not constantly 100% usage....90-99% but the fans won't ramp up like here.
It is sad because the game plays and feels nice but I got the feeling that it is really not optimized or....in the worst case....that there is a miner in the background.

Does the game still use your whole gpu when in the "low" mode? And PC specs are always helpful when debugging performance issues.

Hi I just tried the demo yesterday and it crashed my graphics card. Had to reinstall the driver to get back to normal. AMD Ryzen 7, Radeon RX 580, 16 GB RAM.

(Aside from that it was a delightful game up to that point! :D)

It doesn't really matter which settings I use, all the same for me.

I'm not getting these issues on my PC, GPU Usage sits between low 40's to High 90's but never sits at 100% for longer than a few seconds & that's with everything set to High & 4K as I play through a 65" TV & not a Monitor.
I get some frame rate drops in conversations if I'm in them for too long (have dropped right down to 11-14fps) but other than that, my systems barley breaking a sweat & I wouldn't say I have a powerful rig either (i9 9900k, 64gb Ram, RTX4060ti 16gb) I play everything in Fullscreen 4K & almost everything in Ultra (or the highest setting offered) GPU doesn't normally go much above 70*c & I've not found a game yet that hammers the CPU (& that's including Indiana Jones on Ultra with Ray Tracing on), tbh this game runs really smoothly except for the aforementioned fps drops during conversations.

gets a solid from me so far...

Noo, I'm so sorry this happened! 😭 We're looking into performance as we go and it's already a bit better in the main game compared to the Demo actually (Demo is a little bit of a time capsule at this point tbh, hahaha) especially with the info vTOX1Cv could share with us in mind, but hopefully we're able to eliminate any remaining performance issues soon!

So if you made stuff better are you releasing an updated demo? Atleast is this for many a decision maker and if the demo is not that what reflects the actual game then this could be a deal breaker in the end^^°
