Difference between revisions of "The Callisto Protocol"
(Undo revision 1354956 by Jsmith22 (talk) Shown my Digital Foundry that this was fully fixed, know that some people say it isn't, but seems that those stutters are unrelated to shader compilation anymore. So, please only add this back when you have a proper reliable source backing up this information.) Tag: Undo |

The Callisto Protocol is a singleplayer third-person survival game.
The game was released on December 2, 2022. At launch the game was suffering from major performance and shader compilation stutter problems.
A patch released on January 19, 2023, which added New Game Plus (originally promised to arrive alongside a Hardcore game mode on February 7, 2023[2]), general performance improvements and other changes[3]. The December 2 and 7, 2022 patches fixed shader compilation related stutters, that were present at launch, by performing shader precompilation while at the main menu.[4] The February 7, 2023 added the previously promised Hardcore mode, while improving performance of ray-traced effects and improving the experience on Steam Deck.[5][6][7] As of the latest patch, the game unfortunately still has many asset-loading related stutters hindering the overall experience.

Issues unresolved
Performance is very limited
- Due to the game's CPU utilization being very single-thread limited, the CPU is underutilized (only 2 cores are really utilized) and subsequently performance is severely impaired.[15] The game is even more CPU-limited when running under DirectX 11, resulting in even worse general performance than when using the default DirectX 12.[9] The developers of the game have acknowledged this problem and are working on alleviating these performance issues through several upcoming patches.[16][17]
Stutters while traversing in the game
- The game can stutter when moving around in the environment of the game. This is independent from settings or hardware, and is not shader compilation-related as shaders are pre-compiled for this game since the December 7, 2022 patch. It is likely related to loading.[4]
Game will not launch due to VR hook
- If VR hardware is used, you may be unable to launch the game without its requisite software running.
Workaround: delete VR hook files[18] |
