No DLSS is one thing, but FSR implementation is sub-par, too

[GODzilla]

So first things first: I usually don't mind having to use FSR 2 in a game. I know it's a sponsorship thing, can't be helped. And in most games it works proper. Even in the widely critisized Jedi Survivor I didn't mind it, it worked and I'm not that kind of player who looks at artifacts with a microscope. ;)

And for a while I did use FSR 2 in Dead Island 2. It gave me stable performance beyond 100fps and / or was more efficient in terms of power consumption and temperatures.

But then I got to the part of the game where it was night for the first time and I noticed that with any kind of electrical weapon you get strange reflections in any number of surfaces that are really distracting. My first idea was that is must be FSR, so I switched it off and the reflection artifacts where gone in an instant!

I reckon this had to be a bug even when the game was first released in the Epic Store and it never got fixed.

In Jedi Survivor, the developers realized their mistakes and answered to popular demand when they added DLSS and even Frame Generation later on. Even the notorious, Todd-Howard-lead Bethesda caved and delivered later on.

It's been a year and Dead Island 2 was thrown onto Steam with the same bugs still present. At this point I don't expect a fix, or DLSS, or FSR 3.1 when it releases. It was just a quick cash grab for the same game. (At least I got it cheap and I don't even feel bad about it.)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game, but things like this really piss me off.

they could at least update to fsr3 if theyre unwilling to add dlss support
(the dlss2 mod doesnt work. and the dlss3 mod is a placebo and really does nothing much at all)

however i havent really noticed anything too obnoxious running fsr2 in 4k quality.
id rather have the increased fps than not.

Run the game with a resolution above your monitor's and you dont need dlss at all.

thats not a fix...esp for me since im allready running the game at my native display which is 3840x2160. plus going higher means using more VRam which is allready an issue with me since im limited to 10GB
