If you've been reading KitGuru for a while, then you may know that I like to cover all of the big game launches with a PC Analysis piece. Over the last 24 hours, I have been working on one for Dishonored 2- my most anticipated game of 2016. Unfortunately, the situation is not looking good at all, the full analysis will be up later today but for now, here are some early thoughts and a quick warning to those perhaps planning to buy on day one.
Dishonored 2 has all sorts of performance issues on PC right now. These are being widely reported on the Steam forums as well as in reviews for the game on Steam, with problems presenting themselves on many combinations of Nvidia, Intel and AMD hardware.
In my own personal experience, the game has crashed on me multiple times during the first hour of play alone. AMD GPUs appear to be hit the most by Dishonored 2's poor optimisation with the Fury X unable to push much past the 40 frames per second mark at 1080p. The GTX 1080 also suffers some huge frame drops at times at both 1440p and 1080p.
Aside from the poor frame rate, it is clear that not much thought has gone into the mouse controls for this game either as input lag is quite bad. The default sensitivity level for mouse users is also ridiculously low, I found myself pushing sensitivity all the way up to 80% just to be able to aim and move properly.
Arkane Studios is already aware of these issues and investigating fixes but for now, it might be worth holding off on the game until a patch or two has come down the pipeline. I will have more information for you later today, along with benchmarks at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, screenshots and some more information about the engine behind this game.
EDIT: Our full analysis for Dishonored 2 is now LIVE.
KitGuru Says: The original Dishonored was a perfectly fine game on PC, unfortunately, PC gamers have not received the same treatment for the sequel. If you were planning on grabbing Dishonored 2 on PC, I would recommend waiting for a patch to come into place.
I pre-ordered. Haven’t properly played it yet but damn.
I think this proves my point I have been trying to get people to realize. Game companies are get more and lazy and greedy. They release unfinished work and hope they might be able to fix it later. You have to know they knew about the performance issues and other problems. I’m sure they would have tested the game and if it was not fun for them to play with the problems why would they think it would be for us. This is worse than using us as beta testers on products we pay for because the flaws are right there to see.
Shocking that they’d even contemplate releasing it in this condition!!!
Bad for those that play console ports, but I only play PC exclusives (mostly indie) games. All the companies under the AAA banner suck, laze and don’t give a damn. I’d call it the FFF banner of games honestly. I have not seen many innovative games from none of those companies. Well fuck off. Indie > AAA games.
I ofc, it has Denuvo. Can you see a pattern here ? Witcher didnt have Denuvo, Game was great. Not a single game that had Denuvo(except Doom, for me at least), was a great game, good at best, usually mediocre. They force you to buy unfinished games, bad one, that go only for the name and visuals. Look at BF 4, Hardlines and now BF1. Gameplay is pretty much the same as BF3. I dont even wanna start on CoD series…
