Disappointed in Inzoi's Performance After a Year of Anticipation

[Céline]

I've been following Inzoi since it was first announced and have been looking forward to its release for over a year. The trailers, developer insights, and the ambitious concept had me genuinely excited—finally, a life sim with a fresh take and a beautiful aesthetic.

But now that it’s out, I’m honestly disappointed.

Despite meeting (and even exceeding) the recommended system requirements, the game runs poorly—frequent stutters, long loading times, and inconsistent frame rates make it hard to enjoy, let alone play smoothly. For a game that’s been in development this long and had such a promising buildup, the current state feels rushed and unoptimized.

I understand that new games can have launch issues, but it’s frustrating when you’ve been waiting this long only to be met with performance problems that significantly impact the experience. I really want to enjoy Inzoi—the core ideas and design are compelling—but the technical issues are holding it back.

Please consider addressing these problems as a priority. I (and many others in the community) want to support your vision, but right now it's difficult to do so.

While I completely agree with your point of view, do take into consideration that this is in the Early Access version of the game and the company is getting feedback from players like us to address the various and sundry issues that are being brought up.

very repetitive reminder, game is still in very early stages of early access!!!!!!!!! its not THAT easy doing a simulator game like this. many games take years upon years to develop, and have a lot of people working-- InZoi does not have the numbers to make a game as flawless as quick as you'd want. hope this helps with ur disappointment. <3

What idiots forgot this is early access? I wonder what the feeling is about 25-year-old SIMS. NOW THAT'S SOME DISAPPOINT BS. This is what? a month-old game? People are playing and still discovering things. Another Whiner.

Yeah....you basically bought intro to a beta game. They did also tell you that on the store page -.-. This is the second attempt at early access. first was only the first 200 that bought it. now it's early access for all. Just imagine what it was like back then. Are you fishing or something cause most people read the info page before buying a game -.-.

it's early access....it's early access, it's early access..... rinse and repeat by the robot consumers.... well...how about early access content gets partial access to the money? Oh, wait, can't do that now can we. Isn't it ironic that MOST of the marginal game content devs these days grossly abuse early access. There are a few that produce decent game software at launch and these largely do not employ such a scheme. It's primarily a front-end, consumer risk-dependent monetization scheme. And while occasionally successful most of these are not, but they thrive off the ignorant/apathetic/easily conformed/pacified low-expectation wielding consumer. If they faithfully follow the dumpster fire that is Sims4 even today, there truly is no limit and they'll thrive here as well. Carry on!

This feels super nostalgic, reading your comment feels like being transported back to 2014, when the sims 4 just came out. Difference being Inzoi and Sims 4 first year, is that Inzoi is far superior, you can see much more work having been done, and the polish exceeds Sims 4. Give it some time for Inzoi to be finished developed and polished and we'll all be comparing Inzoi to whatever new Sim game that comes out 10-20 years later.

My PC actually exceeds the system requirements. I have been playing for a while and I don't have those performance issues. I wonder if your PC actually meets or exceeds the standards that you claim. You probably also need to update your PC and graphics card.

EDIT - I have also saw many comments from people that have PCs that might not meet the system requirements and they stated that they have been able to play Inzoi with lowered settings and with no significant performance issues.

reads like the OP has had too many expectations and some unreasonable ones which are blamed on the game and developers rather than a correction of how they should be seeing this game.

i knew the moment i saw this game, did my research that it was going to be a barebones project starting out, it was almost certain to have bugs, glitches and exploits that need to be worked out, that it will take time to build it up. i never held any expectations beyond wanting something different that the profit driven, hollow content driven nonsense that EA are peddling in DLC form and selling for a kings ransom.

I'm happy to say it has been a very positive start, but i have yet to see where the first major update will put this game and how the modding tools will work out going forward. so long as the progress is carried on leaps and bounds and done so with a deliberate pacing, i'll be happy with it.

is in EA not Full Release. Do you understand that?
and only 2 years in development. the first year mainly by only one person.
what did you expect after waiting 1 year.
that the game is magically finished after 1 year. Everything works. The performance is finely tuned. and everything they announced a year ago is in the game? lol

is version 0.1 not 1.0. that there are performance problems and bugs, should be clear.
and this genre is not particularly easy. to develop it.
