Issues unresolved
Unreliable performance
- Due to the game being designed for 30 fps, many users report erratic performance at higher framerates, including stuttering and severe framerate drops.[6][7][8][9]
- These issues are observed regardless of detail settings and resolution, even on high-end systems.
(partial fix) Limit framerate to 30 fps[citation needed]
|
Locking the framerate at 30 fps (in video options) seems to alleviate most of the problems, resulting in much smoother overall gameplay.
|
(partial fix) Set borderless windowed mode in game video options[citation needed]
|
Can give greater stability boost than above. Combine both.
|
The game shows white screen during ingame daytime on AMD cards
(partial fix) Downgrade to 18.2.1 version drivers or older
|
Developer is informed about the issue.
|
Change the camera[citation needed]
|
Disable all Uplay, Steam, Fraps, MSI Afterburner overlays[citation needed]
|
Update your drivers to at least 18.5.2 version[citation needed]
|
The problem is entirely fixed by these driver's version and later.
