Prepare Downvote Reviews for Performance Issues

[Cryptotic]

Game is unplayable for plenty of people despite their specs. Personally I have a 3080ti with a R9 5900x combo and 32 gb of ram there is no reason that I am getting 5fps game freezes with my entire PC locking up for minutes at a time until i close the game EVEN WITH RTX OFF.

There are plenty of other performance issues on PC and there is no way they will compensate you for the 72h early access so many people bought. My review is going up negative and will stay that way we need to stop accepting such broken ports on a technical level.

Edit: Have to say for the slow people here but if the game works then great job the post obviously isnt made for you. Getting a lot of "mUH gAmeE wORk sO uR cOmPUteR bAD" comments so this edit is especially for those people.

Disable SMT for the game in an app called process lasso. You'll have to download that - it's like the windows task manager. Disabling SMT helped me fix fps drops into the lower digits on my 5950x. Now im getting 90-120fps smoothly. SMT is the issue in this game - i'm certain.

for those who say it runs bad perfomance-wise.... how does it run when you lower your graphic settings, or is it still lagging on low quality? just curious.

At this moment is unplayable for me too.
I admit I've put all on Ultra @ 3440x1440 but it should hold well (Ryzen 7 5800x + RTX 3080 + 32 GB DDR4).
The game runs well for a few minutes then the fps drops drastically, at 5-7. Both GPU and CPU are underutilized it seems because both the fans of CPU and GPU are very quiet. I played with ray tracing (but not turning it off, I refuse to do that on my system because I can't believe at this resolution an RTX 3080 can't handle it) and with DLSS... the fps improves momentarily and then it drops again.
I'm waiting for a patch or Nvidia new drivers, something is very off.
I'm sorry to give it a negative review - but I will if nothing will be fixed, the gameplay seems ok but as I said, unplayable at the moment.

Not a humble brag because I have a 3070, but I don't think you're right to say a 3080 should be able to handle a 4kish resolution with RT on. That's a very demanding set of settings. Maybe you're using performance DLSS or something though.

Anyway yeah, the plummets to 10fps are obviously a bug or something. I get 60 no problem outside of that. Dead Space has literally the same exact problem, so maybe it is driver related.

That's not 4K by far. It's 1440 ultra-wide, basically the resolution RTX 3080 was made for. And I've played games looking better at steady 60. Something is very wrong witht his engine right now. DLSS does nothing. It improves the fps for a minute or two and then drops again. As I said, the fans are quiet like I would browse the FB in Chrome.

That's how game launches are though. first few days of any game often have multiple patches to fix optimization issues an other bugs.

Early Access is not some vip booth to be on the cutting edge of content, not unless we are talking super indie games, its a testing and bug report phase players can access if they chose.

It never was early access, it's ''play it early'' as in you are playing the finalized product just a few days ahead of release.

Big doubt there man, i've only heard of stuff like that is strait crowd funded content.

I am curious now if you got the day one patch or not, i assume no.

This. Is. Not. Early. Access.

isn't it literally though? store page says it launches on the 10th for me. you are probably missing the day one patch, and all the other patches that will happen first week.

No, today is day one. They released a patch today, before the game unlocked.

Early Access is an actual thing that has an actual definition on Steam. It comes with a giant warning that says "YOU ARE BUYING AN UNFINISHED PRODUCT. THERE MIGHT BE BUGS!". This is not that. They are selling this game as a finished product, and it's a broken mess for a large chunk of their players.

Game is plenty playable. lol

Lower your game settings if you can't run it at max. It uses over 16GB of VRAM at max Ultra settings at 3440x1440. A 3080 Ti only has 12GB so you likely need to reduce your settings a bit.

I tweaked all of the settings. The only way to get it to run at any sort of acceptable frame rate is to turn on DLSS. They did zero optimization.

But the stuttering is a separate issue. No amount of tweaking settings will fix that because it's likely the result of some massive memory leak.

5800x and 6800xt 16gig ram. 4k 120htz ultra settings. no issues runs smooth
sons 3600 and 6700xt 2k ultra settings also no issues and runs smooth
friends systems
5600xt and 6800xt 2k ultra
3700xt and 6700 2k ultra
i9 12900k and 3070ti 4k ultra
all no issues and runs smooth

only system that had to turn down settings was with a 1660ti 1080p but was smooth
oh none of us are running raytracing

Depends on what you mean by "by far" I guess. It's over 5 million pixels, while 1440p is half that. Also our 3000 series cards were unfortunately aged way too early for various reasons.

Anyway... hopefully the actual issue is patched.

i mean it takes multiple patches for a game to have the biggest bugs ironed out.

But yeah homie, never go into any sort of "play early" deal expecting a smooth game.

Runs beautifully for me without DLSS.

The game runs at 50-60 fps on max until I hit certain areas in Hogwarts its not my PC or the settings. Nothing I alter, despite temporary fps boosts, changes the fact the game locks up my PC and is stuck at 10 fps until I close it when hitting certain areas or watching cutscenes.

It is the game.

[Metroid]

No issues here dog, maxing it out and runs very nice on 4k :)

3440x1440 = 4,953,600 pixels
2560x1440 = 3,686,400 pixels

That is not half, not even close.

RTX 3090, 32gb DDR4-4000Mhz, i9-10900k, running on SSD.
4K with everything on max, ray tracing off, and DLSS set to quality, I'm getting consistent 90-120 frames.
