I must talk about PC state of this game.

Hi, loving the HEAT so far but unfortunately can't play it due to it's poor optimization. It's terrible. 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:

bad distance scaling or

texture not loading

textures popping in editor

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 usually getting between 45 up to 78 fps at a time. No change. (which makes it worse btw). With Vsync on get around 40 to 55 fps and the game still doesn't cooperate. Even running with required specs. I hope these issues ARE being worked on and will be addressed soon as possible. Have a good day.

    @GoodGuyMike I forgot to mention. For some reason, Origin IN-GAME is sometimes a problem. Try disabling that.
    Also make sure you run the game in Fullscreen.

    @TheN00bIsPlaying Yeap tried that, done that. All other solutions know to me, mate, I've done it all. Nvidia inspector & Rivia tuner setups, cpu management,  optimizing it, running game as admin, overclock the gpu... yada yada. all that jazz. It's just a bad port. There is no way around it. But thanks 👍

    Fix your computer before asking for Ghost to fix the game... Or like I always say, stop buying games and stop buying hardware. It will save us from having to hear sob stories about 'poor optimization' which is just a buzzword for 'I have a potato'

    @axialcecal You have no idea what you're talking about. My machine is literally some of the fastest parts money can buy (2080Ti and a 9900K) and I'm struggling to hit over 100 fps even on all low. My rig runs Forza Horizon 4 completely maxed out at 1440p at 144 fps with no issues. The game is incredibly poorly optimized.
