Is this Unity again?
Anyone know what game engine 2k25 will have?

Looks like unity to me... obviously a newer version and enhanced. Not sure what other engine people think is so wonderful... 2K23 is FAR smoother than EA which was on Frostbite. Stuttered like a mofo.

True... you're right about that.

Nothing wrong with unity for this game. Not sure what engine you want exactly? PGA 2k25 is smooth and looks pretty damn good now on unity. Menus are smooth and fast.

Compare that with EA PGA on Frostbite. Slow clunky menus, massive stutter on PC, lack of PC features like DLSS or anything really.

What engine do people who complain about unity want? Other than a tiny graphical bump, what is the point? Unity has been upgraded greatly. Unreal Engine is a stutterfest and I dislike so many games that use it. I would FAR rather Unity over UE.

EA WRC moved to UE4 from EGO and that was a massive mistake, it runs far worse, it looks far worse than dirt rally 2.0, the devs don't know how to use other engines.

The grass is not always greener.

I guess Unity is not such a bad thing. The graphics and graphic options seem a lot like 2k23 though. I'm still trying to get used to the new swing in 2k25. I'm getting used to it though the more I play 2k25.

I agree that for a golf game, Unity isn't a bad choice and it actually looks nice although I much prefer the look of PGA 2K21 over 2K23 as 2K21 had an overall cleaner look.

I don't have a problem with EA's WRC and I have purchased it three times, XBOX, PS5 and PC since it isn't a play anywhere title.

Codemasters addressed why it dropped the EGO Engine and replaced it with UE4. The size of the tracks and data and assets needed for WRC would not have been possible with the EGO Engine. I think the game looks good and the small stutters on the various platforms have been for the most part, been cleaned up.

It takes time to develop a game for a new from the ground up graphics engine and Codemasters got the WRC license on short notice much like the Formula 1 license in 2009. There were many features left out and as someone who owned F1 2010 on all the plaforms, I recall that it too was a work in progress and it had its share of performance issues but in subsequent releases, it was all cleaned up.

The game will look Great lots better. The problem is we got the Waste Management course which is so bland in real life that you cant see how they pushed the GFX yet.
judge for your self. not my video but a great side by side comparison... https://youtu.be/HUQyaDzBnUE?t=29

The more I play 2k25, the more I am noticing the same small frame rate drops that I noticed with 2k21 and 2k23. These frame rate drops occur no matter what graphic settings I change. I was hoping that the engine would be something different this time and that maybe we would get a solid constant frame rate.

I have zero drops in 2k25 or 2k23, it's your end. Unity is a smooth engine for golf with no pop-in or shader load. Only other engine they could use would be unreal engine which would be a disaster for stutter.

They've been using unity forever, and you want them to swap to something they don't know? Would cause more issues than it would fix. People also act like Unity isn't an evolving engine like any other. It's not the same Unity as it was for 2k23 or 2k21.

Try more settings like in nvidia control panel, vsync on/off, framecaps

Are you constantly watching a frame rate monitor such as MSI Afterburner the entire time you are playing like I am? I am also using an RTX4080 with an i9-14900k processor.

No, I use my eyes. When are you noticing stutters? I absolutely hate any stutter in games and notice it easily. I also run gsync at high frames. EA PGA stuttered like crazy usually when the ball landed.

EA WRC switched to unreal engine and it's a stutterfest compared to the previous Dirt Rally 2.0 on EGO engine. That's what I'm saying, that engine switch was such a massive downgrade for the series.

Must be something on your end.
I have my afterburner overlay running constantly aswell.

I had stutters in 2k23 but they are completely gone in 2k25 for me.

Yeah, I guess you are right about it most likely being worse on another engine. The stutters are not really that not noticeable, so it's not a major issue. I just notice the frame rate dropping on MSI Afternburner sometimes when the ball drops and every time you are set up for the next shot. I am also playing in 4k resolution.

have you tried without afterburner and no overclocking if you are? I use to get stutters using it...

If I didn't use Afterburner then I most likely wouldn't notice any stutters. I don't overclock.
