Issues unresolved
Performance is very limited
- Due to the game's CPU utilization being very single-thread limited, the CPU is underutilized and subsequently performance is severely impaired.[6]
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[7] |
---|
|
Shader compilation stutter
- The game suffers from noticeable stutters during gameplay, which is caused by shader compilation that occurs during gameplay whenever the CPU compiles the shader of a new effect appearing on the screen. The game does not pre-compile its shaders.[6][8][9][3] The developers have acknowledged this problem and are working on a fix.[10]
Workaround: create shader cache on load (DX11-only)[11] |
