Feels very unoptimized. Pop in issues, not a lot of flexible gfx options, and FPS choke at really weird locations and times. Not sure how long it'll take until they look into it. the pop in is unfixable since the engine generates everything on the fly it's a fundamental flaw in having everything procedural generated | ||

It's quite close, both in space and flying over planet surfaces | ||

Sadly most PC port teams for AAA studios are less than a handful of people as well. | ||

Constant hitching, terrible pop-in. game breaking bugs.....I think we found this years Arkham Knight Wait, you've been able to get into the game on PC?

Also a tip to PC players, regardless of what FPS cap you desire, try setting it to Max. People are finding that when capped to 60, you'll get the 20-30 fps and stuttering, capped to 90 gets you slightly more but still not 90, etc etc. I set it to Max (had it at 60 before) and while I don't have an actual FPS display, it feels like a solid 60+ and is synced with my display. Helped a lot, that was one of the most frustrating things off the bat. Obviously the implementation of the FPS cap is busted but it looks quite a bit better and more playable when you set it to Max and don't get the choke. | ||

GTX970 with the newest drivers here as well, crashing both when running through steam and the nvidia experience thingy. I'm not too fussed about not being able to play right now, however I am quite annoyed by them releasing a apparently kinda-maybe-barely working game. | ||

Dave Lang of Iron Galaxy said that the push for launches are multiple systems is really hurting games in general. That launching on 3 systems can triple the amount of bug testing required. I really wish we could get away from it and just launch later on different systems. | ||

I also think people assumed launching 3 days later WAS a delay and expected it to be more stable as a result. Really a proper delayed release for testing and porting like you're referring to would be weeks or months. Unfortunate, but realistic. People are valid in criticizing the rocky launch here, but saying the "3 day PC delay should have fixed issues like this" is funny. | ||

Obviously the implementation of the FPS cap is busted but it looks quite a bit better and more playable when you set it to Max and don't get the choke. This is blatantly wrong. Literally everyone with a Phenom II is crashing, and these are common CPUs. Like, very common. And it's not "some" people with those CPUs, it's everyone. Literally. It is the same issue that MGSV had way back, was fixed in two hours. Wouldn't count on Hello Games fixing it though, considering that Oculus' software has the same problem and they've already said they're not going to fix it. I personally tried for 90 minutes, going to refund. The performance is a joke. As in, sad joke. Trying to run it on an i5 2500k @4.4ghz, GTX 980ti + SSD and it's virtually unplayable with constant hitches. Even my fucking keyboard coloring hitches. edit: and no, that 3 day delay couldn't have fixed anything, they knowingly released it in this state. People with high performance machines (considerably higher performance than my rig) have the same hitches. Hell this game made me agree with Totalbiscuit, who roasted it. | ||

Maybe I'm lucky, but I guess many players play the game with the godawful default settings (30 fps cap...) so it doesnt' run very well for them and they complain. | ||

People complain about hitches, not general low FPS. Also it's really not rocket science to change the frame cap. I play at roughly 80fps for 4 seconds. Then it freezes for 1 or 2. Constantly. | ||

Setting it to max gave me 20 fps on low/medium/high settings. Setting it to 90 gave me ~30-50 on high. I mean its not GOOD, but 30-50 is playable, 20 is not. Microstutters and shit are pretty bad though, the launch is a massive mess, so many people have even more issues then just the low FPS / shit optimisation. Good thing is im on holiday till next friday now and hopefully all this will be patched and i'll come back to glorious FPS on max settings. Oh also for the alt+tab bug, just pull up task manager and minimise+maximise the game. Always works  For what its worth - im enjoying the game! | ||
