    Really disappointed that after a solid 3-4 months of dev diaries, open communication and hype for the game, they drop this performance bombshell on us at the last moment.

    They get points for at least giving everyone a weeks notice, but that’s clearly a calculated move (compared to if they kept it quiet entirely and it launched with people unaware)

    I’m not instead on playing sub 60 FPS games at 1080p, especially not when I’ve got a 4090+13900k and it crushes almost every other game in existence. The game isn’t pretty enough to justify such terrible performance, it’s just purely unoptimized now.

    Why there’s no DLSS / FSR also at launch is baffling, it helps GPU bottlenecked necked games greatly (even if boosting from a native 30 to 60 is a bit yuck)

    Really disappointed

      Like you said, they aren’t trying to hide it. I’m sure they weren’t sure where performance would end up at launch though. They publicly said they aren’t satisfied with the performance and will be working to improve it though. This isn’t the end of it. It’s disappointing it doesn’t perform as well right now (for us and I’m sure even more for them), but they’ve earned some amount of trust. I’ll give them time to get things where they should be.

      Why be disappointed? You finally have a game that can really put your PC to the limit, and now you’re turning tail?

        This is such a silly argument. Sure I can make a game that has a fucking memory leak to “really put your PC to the limit” and render every single tri on a polygon no matter the distance you are looking from but that is just a stupid way of “pushing your pc to the limit”. Hell lets make a 30 billion tri model for a generic npc and populate a scene with many of them, that will surely push your pc to the limits. This is just a poorly together hackjob where they know they can just patch it post launch because fools will buy this shit. The devs are working hard on this game but optimization shouldn’t just be pushed off to the post launch era of a god damn game.
