Congrats. 1080p doesn't seem to be the problem from what I've seen. Try running it at 4k.

I run 4k, but if thats the issue then play at 1080p, its not a huge difference.

Dude stop lying. It makes you look bad. You run this game @ 4k ultra 80fps and you want us to believe that? Even two 1080tis won't be able to 4k ultra 80 fps. Just stop lying.

Pirates.. that want to know if the full game works as intended before spending 60€ on a game... and that's it. As soon as it gets patched, pretty much all this pirates will buy the game. Since there are no demos anymore, it has to be this way!

Nope they to get something a lot stronger then DENUVO to protect the game form pirates.
Also they just start put game only Windows Store that make truely lock down.

You have no ideia what you are talking about, the only games exclusive to Windows Store are the microsoft ones, there are third party games on WStore, but also exist on steam.

For me that's fine that they protect the game, it's their work, it's their money, never had anything agains denuvo, I have nothing against that, and I also I don't defend piracy, as long as it is used for testing for 1,2 or 3 levels to see if everything is ok, it's fine by me.
Minimum requirements nowadays are usually far from reality, and unfortunaly there are always bad ports like this one, that comes with problems.

I condemn piracy users that uses any single excuse to not buy a game and then complete those same games without legit copy.

While it's true that Steam offers refunds, sometimes 2 hours are not enough to understand if it is okay or not, if you can fix it or not.
You can call me a pirate, but at least I buy all the games that I intent to play from beginning to the end!

And for now, I would just enjoy to see Evil Within 2 working as it is suppose to work, whatever if the update reaches the pirates or not, I just want to make sure that I can buy the game and get the maximum out of the GPU.

So you can blame now for wanting to make sure that I can spend 60€ and get a good experience out of it.
Cheers

This game has majer problem it cause the firmware to throttle CPU even when it run cool at 50c my case is 1.5ghz. I may buy it and just lock fps to 30fps because it firmware issuse.

CPU usage seems low from the benchmarks i saw, around 9 to 20% core use which is crazy low.

hello Jess, please add WALK key bind!! we need it

I have a 970, i5 4690k @ 4.3 GHz, 8 gb ram and playing on a 1440p gsaync monitor. What settings should I be playing on without sacraficing fps or making the game look like complete ♥♥♥♥?

[bulletdrop]

i5 4460 r9 380 8Gb ram custom high settings 32-47 fps vsync on at 1080p

[Joey Mouse Pad]

PERFORMANCE IS AWFUL!.... 2 980t 3770k 4ghz 16gb ram, 4k/2k Acer 32' monitor. No matter if I play at 2160p/1440p/1080p or even 720p all with low to medium evertything I still get 30 to50 FPS up and down. It;s really hard for me to play actually because it literally makes me physically sick!

This game engine or game isn't demanding it's just a piss poor optimised engine on top of that lazy devs. Anything Bethesda has ints hands in always has bugs and bad frame rate. Yes, I know Bethesda is the publisher. Is it so much to ask from asian devs to make a polished game with out god awful frame rate? You all make the best Horror games as well as other awesome game but performance is always bad.

I know you won't bother fixing or even trying until 6 or more months down the raod when no one plays anymore liike the first Evil within which was atrocious on consoles. So, this time I bought on PC and I'm screwed anyways but besides this I think the game is very fun and way better than the first but Animations need polish BADLY! It's way to much to explain but you made the game so you know what i'm speaking off.

Why does this game only support 2 CPUs?
Why does this game stall if the GPU usage is about 75 - 80%, reducing the CPU-Load even more? A GTX970, slightly overclocked and with Anti-Aliasing/ Motion blur turned off should perform much better with these grafics.

Something is really wrong with this game. My 6 Core X5675 is ultilized at about 15% CPU usage max with this game... And the performance is abysmal!

If i assign only 2 CPUs to this game, the performance is best, ultilizing 2 of 6 cores fully. The SMT. Code of this engine is crap! Hyper Threading doesn not help either, no performance increase or decrease. The game cannot ultilize 4 core-CPUs. Neither does it support 8 Core CPUs with HT.


If you will reduce the resolution to 640x480 you will see what i mean. Then, the game will run at about 120FPS. Single core: Slight performance loss and higher input lag. 2 CPUs: Maximum performance. 3 CPUs and more: No benefit!

Will it be possible that the game supports AMD CrossFire?
