I used to run this game on medium-low settings, prioritzing performance. It wasn’t great, but it was playable, I got deep into T3 on it.
Ever since the patch came out the game is devouring my CPU, the stuttering is so bad sometimes the game freezes for 5 seconds at a time, then runs for a moment before freezing again. It’s very much noticeable.
Please make this a top priority! I want to continue playing the game, but it’s actually impossible for me to do so and everyone out there who has a budget rig. This is the most frustrating issue to me, not the gameplay, not the monetization; all of which are subjective topics. I imagine that most players do not have a high-end rig, and a considerable portion have been left out of the game since the patch came out.
I’m having the same problem, lowered all settings, moved the game to another ssd, even updated the windows, still have the problem, hope it’s what you said and that they fix it…
