Issues unresolved
Heavy FPS drops
- The game's frame rate can drop from 120 FPS to below 30 FPS when texture settings are set to high on a GPU with 8 GB of VRAM or less. This may be caused by poor VRAM management, as the issue is resolved by alternating between low and high settings. This appears to force a VRAM flush. There is no word from the developers about the issue at the time of this edit.
- nVidia driver 511.65 addressed an issue with VRAM allocation calls that improves drops caused by VRAM swap, but don't completely solve the problem. Drops will still happen in more demanding areas while the problem won't happen anymore in less demanding ones. The mileage of this will vary.[11]
Poor frame pacing and data streaming issues
- When using the in-game FPS limiter, the game can introduce poor frame pacing. It also presents data streaming issues that can be easily reproduced.[12]
- The frame pacing issues can be greatly alleviated by using any VRR technology (such as HDMI VRR, G-Sync or Freesync). This won't help with data streaming issues, however.[13]
Controller detection oddities
- Some controllers (e.g. DualSense) do not function correctly over Bluetooth if they are powered on and connected prior to launching the game. The game does not always recognize the type of controller when connected via Bluetooth. This will result in generic, difficult to parse, numbered button labels in-game. It will also require you to rebind all of the buttons on the controller, as it will by default automatically bind only the d-pad, accept, and cancel buttons in this scenario.

- Brings more consistent frame times.
- It's recommended to disable the dynamic resolution scaler, and limit the frame rate by other means (Nvidia Control Panel, AMD Radeon Software, RTSS, etc). In Nvidia control panel, forcing Vsync On, and Prefer maximum performance may help further.
- Breaks HDR support, resulting in wrong and washed-out colors, with severe banding.
