How well does this work on modern machines?

[The_Irreverend]

Do I need to make adjustments so it works properly?

It works well enough, but if you don't have a good Nvidia card keep the Physx off. You have a beefy Radeon card? the point still stands (rx 570 user)

Yeah, haven't noticed any issues on my 1070 rig. I had problems with the game stuttering slowly over time but I was playing it on a laptop with a GTX 755m which was also integrated.

If you got a good modern rig you're good.

few crashes, but been playing for hours without any.
I think im lucky, or the configurations ive made has helped.

Do you still get stuck in the floor at some point in this game?

[Phantron]

the game works pretty much flawless on a Windows 7 machine and only 1-3 crashes max through the campaign if any

I can report stability problems later on in the game as well as issues with the aspect ratio. The game was made when 4:3 monitor ratio was still dominant. If you try to play on a modern widescreen, you'll likely result in skewed proportions.

I started to get stability problems after modifying the FOV and even reverting to defaults does not seem to have eliminated them.

It is a shame, because the game is very well designed and very interesting.

I'm playing it right now, completed first chapter without crashes. I will post again if it starts crashing. My rig is a GTX 2070 and there's slowdowns down to 40FPS, so yeap it's very unoptimized. Though the Physx stuff and the water effects are cool as ♥♥♥♥!

It gets really bad toward the end. I couldn't finish the game because I was running around in the ground.

Think I got a couple crashes, but overall it worked well. Just don't break ice with PhysX enabled. 5700 XT, R5 3600, 16 gigs RAM, SSD here

On a 5800X, 3080 10GB, 32GB of DDR4-3800 and running from SSD, I get 30 fps in 2560x1440 when opening a door. This is one of the worst performing games ever. :)

It runs though, just don't alt-tab.

Most likely because you're breaking ice while opening doors. No idea why, but Cryostasis has ice cube physics that would make MGS 2 cry.

gotta love Nvidia right? buying Ageia, making it proprietary preventing wide adoption thus killing off what could have been and all we have is games that once hoped this would go somewhere but nope, and now barely anything supports it anymore.....sigh

Well it seems to work quite fine, except with the resolution. It crashes often with high resolution. Just lower the resolution to 800x600 and it should work swell.

For me the cause was not the resolution, but the quality settings of the textures.
The game wouldnt run stable from the start with maxed out visuals (crashed in every 8-10 mins) until I set the Shader Model to 2.0 (no fancy particle effects unfortunately, but the game ran without issues and still looks nice). All was fine and dandy, I had one random crash only in about 5 hours, until I reached Chapter 14, there was where the ship hit the fan: ctd in every 1-2 minutes. To fix it I had to crank down the Texture Resolution to Low, Normal Maps and Specular Maps to Medium (all other settings were On, except Motion Blur ofc), and after that I had no issues again.
I guess the problem is either some vram leak, or the game just wont utilize the whole ram on the vga somehow. By lowering your resolution to the minimum, I think the game loaded the "Low" quality textures, thats why it did not crash any more (but dont quote me on that).

works beautifully for me at 2560x1440 2060rtx
