why is the cracked version have better performance

[Sam]

I've recently tried the cracked version to see how it performs
and it turns out that it runs better than steam or uplay version of the game
is it because uplay and steam overlay,drm,etc ?

because the cracked version of games has known as always performed better (at least in my experience)

My guess is it would be because the legit version is always-online even for solo play, and it attempts to connect to mp sessions all the time. I've experienced lag or longer loading times which i'm fairly certain was caused by connectivity issues to ubi servers.

It's because of all the reasons listed above and also the fact the "cracked" version probably doesn't include super-broken Mercenaries update, so you're playing the best version of the game that way.

I see.
ThenI've just wasted my money for buying this game on uplay then on steam just to see the difference on performance and it turns out the same.

bump for Ubi employees to see that performance after Mercs update is horrible

[Nite69]

probably because the cracked version doesn't have the DLC files, its an older build of the game

I started the game in december, so I just assumed the game was designed to perform very poorly from the launch (after doing researches, well not that specific, like I didn't know it was this one patch which caused it, from what I read it was well before that). I felt like the performances were random depending on the devices or the serial number of your copy lol (joking).


It's just sad that they didn't fix it!

I was very frustrated with the performances of the game! For days, I spent hours trying and tweaking tons of crap.
I thought the game was broken somewhere which wasn't graphics related because on very low or ultra, the performances were the same. I've never seen something like that. I can run the game on the lowest resolution with the lowest settings, it wouldn't matter. The game would run the same on ultra...

I just thought since the game is dead, it was left out and wouldn't be fixed.

Well, let's hope, I guess.

I don't think this is fair tho
I understand if they left the online portion of this game
but they still need to fix the performance for someone who wants to play solo

because in my opinion this game is better than GR:Breakpoint in many aspects

I can attest to having much worse performance after the merc. update as well
