Issues unresolved
Antialiasing settings reverted
Each chapter causes the user-selected antialiasing setting to be reverted to its default value of 6x.[5]
Frame rate drops
Multiple reviews mention FPS drops on high-end hardware exceeding the recommended system requirements.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Solution:
With shadows set to very high, there are places, especially in chapter 4 (chase sequence with the monster), where the GPU usage drops to 60-70% and the framerate to the low 20's.
Happens with AMD cards, as well as with NVidia and also with Intel and AMD CPUs.
One CPU core is heavily utilized so there seems to be an overhead problem.
To fix this, set shadows to high. This change increases fps by over 100% in these scenes and the game is GPU bounded again.
