Yayay! The game has run smoothly, mostly. But every few hours my GF and I restart our LAN to fix some stuttering. Also had some FPS issues with super large battles, but the game is SO DANG GUD that we don't even consider those speedbumps. Easily the best triple A in a long while.

Hopefully this one doesn't break my save. I am using mods to be fair

I haven't run into too many bugs in the game, but in combat it's frequent for the game to have to sit there for several seconds thinking about what an enemy should do next. Hope that's one of the performance improvements they're working on.

I'm hoping they fix it so it will actually use all my power. Both my graphics card and processor sit at ~50% usage and low temp, while I drop frames when locked at 30fps. I'm still in act 1 but as it is now, I am concerned about when I reach act 3, since they say that is much harder on performance.

I went from pretty much a locked 60 to mid 20's in act 3. 5900x 2080S and 32G ram with a nvme ssd. Put BG on pause for a few days while armored core kicks my ass. Hopefully the patch improves performance quite a bit. I don't think I'm maxing out cpu or GPU either but haven't really been monitoring it.
