How's the frame rate? I saw some reports of 7-12fps from systems that kick the absolute shit out of my 2 year old gaming laptop and had flashbacks of wasting $50 on KSP2, which I still can't play despite exceeding the minimum specs. So I figured I'd wait to hear from people for a week or so this time instead of potentially wasting money on release day.
There's a lot of entitled people who are upset because they kicked everything to ultra and yeah , that's where that 7-12 fps is. Most people can't fathom fiddling with the settings a bit and maybe lowering them.
The dev sent out a forum post on what settings are causing the biggest lag. I followed their advice and it is completely playable. I'm about 10 hours in and I'm loving it
I am a firm believer that if you have a bleeding edge system you are 100% entitled to playing stuff in max settings (at least in reasonable resolution). I don't see the point in blaming the customers when there is clearly a faulty product here.
Just to clear things up I am definitely not one of those people with the bleeding edge system with my 3060.
So youre not part of the "Can it run Crysis" where the game was essentially designed to run on hardware that didnt exist yet?
Difference here is, Crysis had graphics never seen before. C:S2 on max settings is nothing groundbreaking, it doesn't even have raytracing. In this case there's performance issues, not futuristic technologies.
