GPU Issues - Negative Reviews

[XxSocramxX]

From the posts in these discussions is easy to see that most modern/newer GPUs are experiencing crashes most of the time when playing and I wanted to say something to the people that do not care and are posting positive reviews about this game:

IF THIS DOES NOT GET FIX AND YOU UPGRADE YOUR GPU YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS GAME IN THE FUTURE.

So with that in mind please consider posting a negative review so this gets traction, if not for the people who are having crashes right now do it for your future self.

This is the only way we have to make Square Enix to actually do something.

Thank you!

That's.. not how the review system is intended to be used. Why not just contact SE or use their forums?

how is this not how the system is supposed to work ? it did work on Helldivers recently too.
big companies just give a ♥♥♥♥ about our forum postings as long as the game sells.. but you know what the DO give a sht about ? the reviews. this forces them to do their work because obviously they are selling a broken product wich in EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY woudl be considered FRAUD . so we as gamers wich are affected have to do something to get heard and if the game does not work for me , i leave a negative review warning others about it. easy as that.
gamers as a community should stand together against greedy buissness practices and not defend them just because one of us is not affected.. that (to me) is like saying " yeah war isnt that bad" just because the war is not in my country...
i for my part left my negative review until this gets fixed.
this port has issues that perisist since it was on PLAYSTATION 3 !! this is how less square cares...

That is just not true, a game is also a piece of software that needs to work properly. If your game does not work for modern GPUs then you deserve a negative review.

This is beyond the fact that any game that has bugs, crashes, framerate or other kind of issues also get negative reviewed all the time.

This is exactly why the review system is in place. Think of it this way: contacting SE or using their forums would mean that people need to go out their way to see those posts. But steam reviews are much more visible, and if this affects the review rating of the game people will think twice about buying the game. Tell me, have you ever not buy a game because it had a Mixed or Negative overall review? If that ends up affecting sales then there is a much higher chance that SE or any other company will actually look at the issues at hand and take things seriously.

This has been a problem for about 3 years. They have finally officially acknowledged it. Without bad reviews citing the problem, I doubt they would have said anything. If the game doesn't work for approximately ~14% of gamers on modern GPUs, then we have a pretty big problem. It's possibly also not a GPU but CPU issue as well since some of the RTX cards with AMD CPUs seem to have problems as well. I imagine this probably affects in the range of 25-40% of gamers if not even more.

No? That is exactly what a review-system is there for. The graphics, soundstage, characters, story, and yes - stability and playability are part of the game and thus part of the review.

I've been playing FFXIV for a long time, and I've had a few run ins with 'contacting SE.' Speaking from experience? SE's support is not designed to be contacted. They're unhelpful and slow. They barely read the tickets I've sent, and they're barely familiar with the products they're supposed to be providing support for.

Clearly there are issues they need to address but I haven't had a single crash in 40+ hours playing KHFM on my 4080S/14900K build. Playing at 1440p 165hz (Gsync)

We did, 3 years ago, when the game came out on epic with these issues.

Because most support tickets are just left in the digital heap or "answered" then nothing actually gets done. If you have the community come together and tackle their front-end directly to steer away potential sales due to negative review scores mentioning performance issues, they're gonna take the matter way more seriously.

You do have a valid point and I don't like review bombing but in some cases it's needed to get the developer's attention to get fixes worked on and released.

You honestly think SE will actually listen?

I have to agree, thats not how the review system is supposed to work. You review with your experiences, not someone else's, and not some potential problem you may or may not ever have, but don't have now. If it crashes for you, I'm sorry, you should be giving it a negative review. But if you have no problems, you review it based on your own experience, not because it's crashing for someone else you don't even know.
