How badly optimised is this game? Even in the fastest setting with all other options off I get 20 fps at the start of intro and that drops down to 10 when it shows mom and sister inside the house. And at these settings graphics looks so shit that it becomes an eye sore. My rig isn't an outright gaming set up but hey it runs games like GTA 5, Far Cry 5, BF4, Dragon Age Inquisition, AC 4 etc... In med settings at 1600x900p and at abt 50 fps. Hell this game seems to be built on the same engine as Sims games and I run Sims 4 pretty smoothly in my Lap. So is it really that badly optimised or am I missing something or is something wrong in the latest version?
Is that only an issue at the start then? Cos I did find the frame rate go up to 40 when he was talking with his friend and then dropped to 30 when he went into the living room. And I was already running it on 1366x768 in fastest settings. I didn't try windowed though. Will that help?
The opening scene is notorious with its low FPS. But besides it, I don't think you'll have any problems with the rest of the game.
Turn the
graphics quality to
ultra. I haven't noticed any remarkable impact on the performance when reducing
graphics quality.
Turn all
antialiasing settings and
anisotropic filtering to
application-controlled or
off. The game is not using them anyway.
Turn
FXAA on. This is shader based antialiasing, with almost no impact on the performance.
FXAA lowers the sharpening a little bit, but hey ... nobody likes jagged boobs
. So unless you are playing with 4K resolution, turn it
on.
Turn
threaded optimization on. The game is using multi-threaded rendering.
Turn
shader cache on. This will speed up scene transition.
Now you can try testing with different
screen resolutions and with the
window/
full screen option.
