It also crashes (at least for some people) if you set CPU affinity at all. That's really strange, and problematic if you're using certain cores for background work, or if you just want to avoid the game having to cross a CCD boundary. Here's hoping they fix it.
This game is in the height of fanboy denialism. Any criticism, no matter how small or how valid is met with rejection and blaming. It's like you have to preface and end everything with "I am loving the game and recommend it" or else people will downvote you for not liking the game.
It's so upsetting seeing this game get praised as one of the most polished games. I guess the bar really is that low these days. I'm glad they're actively fixing stuff but there's a lot to fix.
Ah yes, silly silly Larian studios. Why didn't they think of this earlier!?
Because when you are giant studio using Unreal Engine there really is no excuse for poor performance or porting. But when you are a (relatively to Epic or Sony/Microsoft etc) a tiny team building a game using the engine you came up with yourself with its roots somewhere around 2010-ish , back when 6 cores was a brand new thing and have been tweaking it ever since, you do get some slack if it doesn't multithread perfectly.
Yeah you get some slack as in I'll still recommend the game, purchase it, enjoy it and state that it's great. I'm still going to complain about shitty optimizations so that even more people get to enjoy the game in all it's glory. It's painful that my gf's game lags all the time and that she can't enjoy the same cutscenes that I do because of performance.
The fact that you like the game/studio doesn’t change the fact that they’ve shipped an engine that treats modern CPUs like Core 2 Quads.Still playable on most systems. It's not like cyberpunk level of gank
edit: Cyberpunk xbox/ps I guess. It was fine for me on pc.
Because a lot of people aren't experiencing much in the way of performance issues yet? I've not yet reached Act 3 where I hear it has the most impact so performance has been fine for me, like the vast majority of the userbase at this stage, I imagine. I'll see how I feel once I hit Act 3.
