Game has terrible optimization and performance

[nikolai_stoykov]

The game is terrible optimized, not even remotely utilizing all of my 5700x CPU and 3060 GPU, and running at a very unstable 47fps, with terrible frametimes. Please fix the performance of this game.

try maxing out the framerate limit

It's your device. The game runs perfectly and does not consume even 30% of the GPU of a 3050 on a notebook. Update drivers, format your PC, reinstall Windows to remove junk programs and keep the system updated.

Most people don't know how to do this, therefore it's not relevant to me as a solution. The game developers should optimize their game to work well, without the need for config file adjustments.

Of course it doesn't utilize more than 30%, if you have a poweful GPU and you are using low settings. If I set a resolution of 800x600 and lowest settings, my CPU becomes the bottleneck, and it should rise to 100% utilization, either all the cores and threads, or if there's a single core limit, one of the threads, simple, how PC gaming works. On the other hand, if I select 8K resolution and max settings, my GPU will be the bottleneck, and hit 100% perfect, and my CPU can't hit 100%, cause it's waiting for the GPU to render it's frames first.

And aside from the fact that you can't skip the tutorial, nor change the game settings during the tutorial, both of which is stupid, I can measure low hardware utilization using MSI Afterburner, low fps and bad frametimes, which always means poor game optimization. Tougher games than this run better, but they're also much better optimized.

This game runs just fine on my obsolete 2010 Office PC.. All I had to do was adjust some in game settings then a couple NVIDIA control panel settings to get rid of my FPS issues. A mix of high, medium and low settings 1600x900 well over 100-200FPS no ini editing none just adjusting what is given to you in game and NVIDIA control panel. The game is a mobile port so of course its not going to run perfectly lol the method I used which is shown in the guide link that Groen90 shared doesn't take anything fancy to do.

You are not the first person with high end hardware/set up to have this issue the community created a means to fix those issues since the company of the game wont or hasnt yet.

I dropped that link just for reference in case you might find other stuff that helps, but you can change the framerate limit directly in game. That alone should be enough to make the game use your GPU properly, at least it is for me, 240 fps on a 2070 super.
That aside, do you even hear yourself? "This solution is too niche so it doesn't count"? Are you here for help or just to ♥♥♥♥♥ and moan?

I don't care about this game at all, I don't even play it. I test games and report issues to the develoepers, and in forums like this, in hopes that it can help out other players. And I don't care about the amount of fps I'm getting, but about the stability of those frames, AKA the frametimes. I'd rather play at a stable, locked 30 fps with a butter smooth frame time graph, than an unstable 120 fps or higher, that's what you get with good optimized games, when you have more cores and threads, not higher fps, but more stable fps, loads times, multitasking, and so on. The game feels better, without you getting more fps. But if the developers won't do anything about this game, fine, I'm moving on to the next one.

So you really are here just to ♥♥♥♥♥ and moan then, I admire the honesty at least. Frametime graph is pretty flat too on my end, but if you don't care bye I guess, lol

[Aglardae]

This game runs fine for me. I don't see what your problem is.

[Magic Tofu Cat]

well there is your mistake.. you hajve a 3060 not a 4060 soon too be 5060

[Coonter Diggs]

Meanwhile game runs just fine on 2070, 970 and i sh1t you not, 570.
But sure, "terrible optimization". I guess "good optimization" is westslop "quadruple A" that needs DLSS and framegen to reach 1080p@60 on even most recent hardware.

Asking steam forum ppl to do your job. Goes on to say he doesn't even care and reports issues to devs but instead of going to the devs asking them for feedback or using their analytics goes on to ***** on steam forum.

Sure bud. Steam forum = developers.

[SWTiger]

5600 + 3060, game runs great, no issues, no freezes not once, and in general I rarely hear anyone say it's poorly optimized (it is a mobile game after all). So the problem is on your side, try reinstalling the game, reinstall card drivers, try different graphics settings, including forcing the settings in the Nvidia panel, etc.
If you think that you are right, and devs have made a mistake in optimization somewhere - write to the developers themselves, not on the Steam forum. Otherwise you don't want to help fix the situation and don't want to fix it yourself, but just looking for attention to the problem that occurred for you for reasons related to your computer

Reporting here with a 4060/13700HX laptop and a 4070 Ti super 12700K desktop. Both play this game well at near highest settings with no dips in FPS at all. I didn't need to do any config fixes at all. Just set the fps in game to double of my refresh rate, and set vsync on.

Because games are usually such a resource sink, I always advise people to keep their computers clean and unless streaming or doing something that requires other apps to be on, run games with as few programs open and as few start up apps as possible.

Um, you know vsync will cap the fps to your refresh rate? Theres no point setting it to double your refresh rate...you are supposed to cap it to slightly lower your refresh rate to prevent it from accidentally going above, which will cause screen tearing.

E.G. If your refresh rate is 75, its recommended to cap fps to 72.
