I know that my hardware won't be able to run it on maximum settings. Heck, I can't even run it on lowest settings (probably), so what I am trying to do is to modify Unreal Engine settings to at least make game not crash.
don't bother, tried it with my GTX 950 got like 10fps on the lowest possible settings, try and grab the v12 build before they moved to ue5, the ue4 version runs on medium for me with decent fps not perfect but pretty decent, far playable then 12 to 7 fps i was getting... Anyways grab a copy of the ue4 version v12 on kemono and try that you might be able too run the old version.
its funny i seen people claiming there is performance increase with UE5 and it only depends on the game being developed well i find that hard to believe when the requirements for UE5 clearly state you need a fucking RTX2060 as the recommended gpu when UE4 states you can get away with as low as a GTX470 going by minimum requirements.
maybe some god here can actually work some magic and maybe share some ways too improve the fps with the ue5 version i mean if the statement about ue5 without lumen not being all that more demanding then ue4 according too many people on forums then surely i should be able to get more then 10 damn frames with the post 13 build of this game...
and before anyone asks yes i did disable lumen, now maybe if there is a way to force the game to run in directx 11 or something my performance might increase, i remember a update was added too resident evil 2 which completely killed my fps until i reverted back too the dx11 version.
