Is the game's performance fixed by now?

[fairfax.carter]

I havent been active about checking the games current state and i'm curious if most problems that the people from Digital Foundry stated in their review have been fixed?

had no issues with performance. But crashes are fairly frequent. And in no return they are incredibly frustrating. Wouldn't advice buying this garbage.

Thanks for letting me know. Crashes to me are also in the performance category. If a game cant run consistently it performs bad imo.

I've played it a bit, I have a mid range rig. It's an rtx4070, Ryzen 5 5600, 32gb ram but I do use an nvme drive for this game and a few others.

So far graphically really good, using all the fancy Nvidia ai bits like DLSS, quality, Amd fsr (this allow me to use vsync as I play on a TV). I'm running at all graphics settings set to maxixum, 4k resolution but I do lock frames at 60.

Perfectly stable, no stutter or any crashes after the first hotfix. Really smooth and well optimized game compared to part 1.

I didn't notice there was any performance issue.

But there was a curious bug with the game where dualshock and dualsense controller will be unresponsive after playing the game for some time - it totally messes with my PC bluetooth. They fixed that now.

Alt-tabbing out of the game seems to give stuttering problems.. so, performance is not ideal

[episoder]

most of those issues detailed by df have been fixed. the stuttering they had in downtown seattle is kinda unfounded tho. this is likely something they messed up in their testing approach or configuration. it does not exist on similar or slightly lower hardware with proper limitations and enough cpu headroom to compile in the background.

if you play in borderless fullscreen you should not have that. i can (alt+enter) switch between windowed and fullscreen all day long. i alt+tab aswell when i play and have breaks to post in here. no issues at all.

There is no problem with the performance of the game, but at higher resolutions you need an upscaler.
The only problem is the constant shader loading during the game. It's not just on first playthrough.

[TheMightyThor54]

Nope, game runs like ♥♥♥♥ after of a month of release. Constant crashing, the only apparent resolution is to dumb down your rig just to play it. The worst money I've spent on a PC game. Wish I was still within my return window.

i run a rtx3070 Ti 8gb, Ryzen 5 5600x, 32gb ram B550 AROUS Elite V2 i've run it on Nvidia recommended settings after 40 minutes of game play stops then stutters so i have to come out and restart my computer i have run it on high settings ......after about 40 minutes of game play stops then stutters so i have to come out and restart my computer i have run it on medium settings ......after about 40 minutes of game play stops then stutters so i have to come out and restart my computer so no game is still broken as i have no problems with any other AAA game or any game in fact on max settings

This game has been extremely frustrating for me (3060 OC / 32G ram / 12th Gen I9). I know that my PC is technically under the specs to preform at the games requirement however whats frustrating is that when the game isn't crashing its running fantastically. I'm running all the setting at there max if not that next level down and getting 60 - 75 FPS constantly. The game will just decide to crashing in waves. At times I've played for a few hours and haven't had any issues, other times however its every 10 - 15 mins. I can deal with crashing once or twice in a session but even with all my settings at low it does it. I had far less issues with Cyberpunk when it was released as absurd as that may seem.

[fairfax.carter]

Very concerned about these crashes. I might be able to brute force the performance issues with my rig (9800X3D,4090,32GB 6000mt/s CL30, M.2) but it seems something else is going on with this one. I'm going to wait a couple more months. Nixxes have been actively patching Spider Man 2 which now runs and looks great. So hopefully once they wrap up support for that they focus all their resources on TLOU part 2

The game still has serious performance issues on my end, GSYNC isn't useable unless you're okay with stutters and (worse than the already iffy) 1% lows. Plenty of crashing if you want to use even remotely mildly interesting settings like frame generation or reflex. Theres also big issues with a bug with UI causing black screens on some HDR capable monitors and making using or even just having HDR a problem even if you don't use it I assume depending on your display and how it handles HDR toggling. I really can't recommend it, on my end the experience is extremely sub-par and the sacrifices needed to get it to even run semi-stable make it not much better (aside from using mouse and keyboard) to playing it on a Playstation. 4080Super/7800X3D/6000mt/s 32GB/M.2.

Your mileage may vary, many are lucky and don't have many problems but it's clear it's not a universal thing, but it seems 1% lows are still pretty bad across the board many just don't notice. If you're sensitive to it like me it's unpleasant.

Playing for 50 hours, I didn't notice anything else than framedrops. I wouldn't call the game optimal performance wise, but I didn't encounter any crash or game breaking issue.

I think the G-sync problem is related to nvidia drivers. Sometimes the screen breaks and lags while using it. I also saw people complaining about this on Reddit.

[animal_PLANET]

Funny, this same thread was made for Part 1. I will reply with same thing. It was never broken.

If you have issues, it's probably a driver related problem. Which AMD confirmed in last 2 drivers. Or an issue with the PC itself.

If NVIDIA is problematic for some. I would suggest 566.36 if not using a 50 series card. That is what I am on and have zero issues with 30+ hours played.
