Badly optimized game?

[Starman]

32 - 50 FPS with a 5070? My computer is like 3 - 5 times better then the RECOMMENDED system requirements... Am I being scammed by Nvidia or the Game?

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

RECOMMENDED:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10/11 (with updates)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, Intel Core i5-10600K
Memory: 32 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6800XT or NVIDIA RTX 2080
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 125 GB available space
Additional Notes: SSD Required; Performance scales with better hardware

Yes it is, also bad engine.

I'm not sure what's wrong with it but I can run it at ultra settings comfortably but every so often in the open world I will encounter a crash. I'm probably going to try and get a refund for this until they improve the stability.

This.

It's horrendously optimized there is no reason it should be so resource intensive.

If that's indoors and out you are getting worse frame rates than my 3060 GPU and i7 CPU.

I get 60fps indoors pretty steady (probably capped by my monitor refresh rate since I have vsync on. I've never had as low as 50 FPS indoors.

Outdoors I get between 30 and 48 FPS which I'm happy with and a very odd seconds stutter down to 20 once in a blue-moon.

I consider all that pretty playable I'm on Ultra settings 1080p.

I'd assume there is some sort of specific issue with your card or the drivers in relation to your card or indeed CPU/Bios or you play on 8K or something given your frame rates.

So what sort of resolution do you play at?

Agreed, even though Oblivion is one the greatest games ever made in living memory, I just don't think it justifies £50 for a remake. They probably made it £50 to make up for the losses in Starfield

Instead of "badly optimised" can we consider using the term "broken"?

Expedition 33 looks great and plays so good it hurts me seeing this game suffer performance issues

It's really not, though. I have probably a dozen or more games on my PC made with UE5 that run perfectly with my somewhat outdated setup. As a UE5 developer, though, I know that there is a LOT that goes into optimizing a game and it takes a long time. UE5 lighting is extremely demanding and if not handled properly, it's very, very easy to create a game that runs poorly. It can be done, but lots of devs are lazy and breeze past the playtesting phase or just ignore the issues.

This is much more of a dev issue than a UE5 issue.

That 5070, how much Vram have? don't tell me 8 :D because i'm gonna laugh so hard that i will get down of my chair xD If have 8g, i'm sorry for you, but your GPU suck a lot without the AI magic, something that this game don't have

I have zero issues on my RTX 4070Ti computer and my RTX 4080 computer. You probably are using an HDD or some happy meal SSD, and a potato CPU. I recommend buying a high quality NVMe SSD, and not a decade old cheap 2.5" SSD or SATA SSD.

Every time I want to be wrong and it's my end, my problem, and it can be fixed- I find dread going into these forums because my PC can run every other game on High or Ultra High settings yet this one- MY CHILDHOOD GAME, remastered after 20 years, has the worst optimization and it isn't something even my PC can deal with.

Unreal Engine 5 + Bethesda's base engine does not mesh well for most operating systems and unless you are literally above the 10% of gamers who have $4k PC's and the best graphics cards in the industry, there's issues to be had.

I'm not playing this game until a major patch fixes the performance. This is unacceptable.

its a bad engine but also it should be running better than that. Make sure to mess with the graphics. I am getting better frames than that
