Game Unplayable

Just installed the game. The performance is horrendous.  I put everything on the lowest possible settings, including mono audio.  The game is choppy, audio stutters, and all performance is slow.  I even have a decent system higher than the minimum requirements.  All drivers are up to date.

  • I've got the same issues with visual and audio tearing and the game is just completely unplayable like you said. I have 6 hours on it (all spent trouble shooting) and haven't gone more than 30 steps from the opening cutscene.

    Glad I spent £50 on this 👎

      It's at least somewhat playable now, but still needs a lot of work. The lighting and particle engine just isn't friendly for loading. Fast travel makes it egregiously worse.  Still lots of stuttering and asset loading issues, even in cut scenes.
