Any hope the game will be optimized for lower end PCs?

[Mr. Raider]

The minimum specs require a GTX 1060. My PC is not capable of supporting anything higher than my 1050 Ti. I thought to myself "Well mine is just so slightly worse, it can't be that bad." I was wrong, the game runs like ass, especially in high density areas like the hotel. I get that my graphics card is old, but the vast majority of new games on Steam still support even older ones so I don't think my request is otherwordly.

May be that you get better performance on a smaller map?

There is also a Density mod, I'm not sure exactly what it does though.

The medium map is already quite small all things considered, I don't think I'd be able to enjoy the game in an even smaller one.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The full version of Shadows of Doubt will include additional content and optimisations[sic] that will be introduced throughout Early Access. We are currently planning to add new content such as new and improved cases, new locations and new citizen interaction options, along with a more rounded and polished game experience.

Numbers on graphics cards can be quite deceptive. You'd think 1050 ti vs 1060 would be a minor drop but 1060 stomps on the 1050 ti in performance.

Just wait and hope that the optimizations promised in the Early Access quote will help. As for the sizes of the map it's 9 Blocks vs 12 Blocks vs 16 blocks vs 20 blocks. I've done a full run on the small map and the very large map doesn't really feel much different to me. The larger maps only appear to have more of mundane places with more people working at places.

bump the resolution down.

Yeah the graphics card doesn't carry that much weight atm. Lower the resolution. Even older 970gtx here.

this game tanks any pc. it will get better over time. I hope.

[Carnage]

It tanks nothing simply because it doesn't even utilize hardware properly. i7 12700 is loaded on 5%.

They should've picked a different engine for this game, but now it's too late and it's not an easy fix to make.

Oh boy.. if you only had a clue what youre talking about...
(start by learning something about dynamic lighting vs random generation and GPUs vs object count)

I don't need to learn anything to tell you that I have a bad performance on 12700, 32GB and 3070, because CPU is underutilized.

Thanks for proving my point...

Oh look, another Jester farmer with hidden profile.

I assume you have stable 120fps anywhere in this game.
