  • Framerate is tied to dynamic resolution scaling with no way to turn it off unless using mods.
  • Some texture options are very lack luster and don't add much to the visuals.
  • High end systems have frametime issues
  • DX12 seems to be the cause of major frametime issues.
  • Running the game in forced DX11 seems to fix most frametime issues, still not a perfect solution. Some frametime issues still exist, but the FPS is significantly improved.
  • 30FPS mode has frametime issues too, so putting that on won't help.
  • Running DX11 breaks the vsync but can be enabled at the driver level.

There aren’t many PC players paying full price, if anything for a single player game :umad:
it did get cracked quick. but I don't do that anymore

I'm hoping these issues get fixed by the time it comes to Steam. it only took Square 4 years to fix Nier :sadcam:

Does PS5 have any of these options?
the PC version barely has any options

you need a mod to disable dynamic resolution. and command line arguments to force dx11 ("-dx11")

No you don't. The guy who video i posted said the dynamic resolution problem only exist in weak pcs. Said it doesn't happen on high end pcs. DF did the video on a fukking laptop.

Digital Foundry are frauds, only thing disappointing about the port is there are no graphic offense which is crazy considered Final Fantasy XV was decked out without options and so was the other square enix port kingdom hearts III

but the game itself runs flawlessly, no crashes, also all reshade makes the game look photorealistic

if you're able to stay above the target framerate then DRS won't kick in. but it's still strange there's no option to disable it
