Stop downgrading the game and calling it “optimization” it’s too much and If you need more performance, there’s always the in game settings that can be lowered. (And yes i play on ultra)
For the last update. PLEASE fix the downgrades. It’s ridiculous!
If you go back to earlier versions of the game, STILL they are stable just like the current build somehow, when talking FPS. Plus that draw distance back then is wayyyyy better than what we have now.
There is an achievement that is now unobtainable because the draw distance is so short. Machines won’t load before they are too close to get the long range kill achievement. This also means the maximum distance for the long distance kill record is going to be below acceptable thresholds for most players. There’s no point in playing a sniper anymore.
Its even worst considering we lost this nice feature and it did not improve the performance, now the game is even less stable since there is a lot more issues with lower FPS than we had in 2023, even on next gen and good PCs.
No, that can’t be.
After the latest update I made some experiments and documented pretty good ranges between 380 and 420 m for render distance of machines.
PS5, btw.
My record distance kill is over 850m. Now the game can’t draw to that distance. The nerf wasn’t needed. It has made being a sniper considerably less fun to play.
It’s interesting how they always say that they have been improving performance but it’s only gotten worse over the years, I used to be able to run GZ with almost zero lag but now it lags no matter what when killing machines and stuff.
Yesterday I played for about two hours and didn’t have any lag or fps drop. And there were even fights against a Wolf, lots of Lynx and three firebirds at the same time.
Again, PS5.
I wish it were that simple; but here’s how it works: every time they add new stuff or make changes, the game becomes harder to run. Every single update. And the game is already very difficult for some players to run. That’s why they have those so-called “downgrades”, to make it easier to run. I’m sure it’s very easy for you to complain about it if you have a pc good enough to run ultra with no lag, but not all of us are using a nasa pc. Literally everyone, especially on pc, has been complaining about low fps/crashing. Even you yourself just said the lag was horrible, right after asking for better graphics. But that’s why they have been trying to optimize. It’s not ridiculous, they are trying to make it easier for people on low-ish end devices to play with higher frames. Either way, they’ve already announced the final update, as upsetting ad that is; so there’s not much you’re going to be able to have changed anyway
Still. Real optimization inside the “heavily modified” engine of theirs would benefit more. perhaps switching engine from Apex to something else would really help in future projects. Even that draw distance change didn’t help much for many. But i see your point and it’s good. A lot has been added making CPU’S work harder, maybe not GPU’S as much. Either way. Doing engine optimization would be really nice but also takes effort, unlike simply changing or turning down graphical fidelity.
EDIT: Also this is where mod support would be so smart for them to have added earlier. yeah they already said how challenging that would be an all but damn would that help the game after the last update.
How far is it from the bell tower in the church at Ostervik to the second road through the neighborhoods south of the town? More than 400m, I’d wager. I remember where I made my shots. The draw distances have been severely nerfed and not from a measly 400m. They were initially nerfed TO 400m.
Well, you can’t see it anymore from the bell tower in the church. Or rather, you CAN see the road, but you won’t get anything drawn on it. Perhaps, you should try actually going to the church in the north of the town and looking south-ish towards the housing beyond the gas stations, as I described. Orienteering skills are a must for following descriptions when there aren’t many other man-made contrivances to work with like street names. I’d post images, but transferring images off a PS5 is a bother and my PC game hasn’t progressed far enough to have that safehouse unlocked, yet. You’re just going to have to try and finger it out. You’re a smart cookie. I have faith in you.
