FPS Drop and Performance Issue

[cicada167]

The demo run smooth at my first launch until the story taking place before the timeskip (after yumia fell from the sky). I play at max setting and everything works fine and run at 90+ FPS (on ryzen 5 5600H RTX3060). But after that, the game only run at 17-25 FPS on cutscene and gameplay, even when I change the setting to the very lowest, the performance doesnt change at all and still unplayable. Anyone experienced the same thing as me?

I try to reopen the game, and it fixed the problem and can run at 65-80 FPS (even though it drops from the previous 90+ FPS). I don't know what happened. Perhaps CPU and GPU optimization from the game?

Yeah, had the exact same experience. Hope there's some weird bug that'll get fixed.

Oh yeah it's definitely a optimization problem. The game absurdly demanding on the CPU, one guy who tested it said the CPU utilization was at like 70%. Also I saw someone say that game apparently uses like 14GB of VRAM at 4k with max settings?? Chalk it up to another garbage Koei Tecmo PC port, which is funny because they literally just released their Rise of the Ronin PC port......which is currently sitting at a 51% on steam lol.
