Awful performance & optimization on PC
Hi, loving the HEAT so far but unfortunately can't play it due to it's poor optimization. I hope Ghost is aware of this. I've played Heat for a few hours, it's playable but I noticed few issues that concern me a lot.
I've Reinstalled the game 3 times and reinstalled Nvidia drivers as well. Problems remain.
I've reported these issues in official forums and also posted on official Twitter with no response. Noticed plenty of people complaining about the same issues as well, not only on PC but on consoles too. Now, since everyone else is busy praising the game there is no room to clarify other issues, so I must bring them to attention.
Issues mainly being: Poor performance, crashes, graphical glitches and fps loss throughout. Low, Normal, High or Ultra settings. CPU usage is insane now.
Here is examples of visual bugs:

textures popping in editor https://i.imgur.com/4BXtTrp.png
This by it's self makes the game crash for me on multiple occasions hence my discontent. Plus, the game seems to run poorly with low fps frames and stutter at the race start, with npc's around or during night events in the city.
Note I am not playing at full resolution here so, it's very concerting to me that the game is out at this state. I've tried the game on Low, Normal, High and Ultra with Vsync off with other options lowered. (which makes it worse btw) Usually getting between 45 up to 78 fps at a time. With Vsync on get around 40 to 55 fps and the game still doesn't cooperate. I hope these issues *ARE* being worked on and will be addressed soon as possible. Have a good day.
