Sounds like your typical UE5 game that assumes everyone is using FSR/DLSS and framegen to get acceptable fps... except the framegen just isn't working properly. Also seems to be mainly affecting non-AMD systems, which never fails to crack me up every time it happens, after decades of listening to retards who believe that AMD is the one that 'always has issues'.

Uhh what? Maybe because I'm on an AMD system but the game is pretty and runs great for me. Loving it so far. Hawks is the sort of personality that the main character from Outlaws should have been.

Usually the easiest fix is setting fps from infinite to a different number. I had that problem in Helldivers, the video card would go nuts on some missions or during loading. Once I capped frames, it fixed it

I capped frames at like 120 or something and everything on ultra and it runs/looks fine in this game.

So, 15th gen 18 core i5, and a 5070, getting low 70's on ultra, mid 90's if I turn off environmental geometry. Can easily do 120 with DLSS but I prefer to run native.

While the game definitely needs to be optimized, I think part of the issue is UE5 causing cpu bottlenecks. I noticed a lot of the bad reviewers had older cpus, even the ones with newer cards. Aion 2 (also UE5) ran terrible on my ancient 10th gen 6 core, upgrading completely fixed the issue, just the 32gb of ddr5 bottlenecked my fucking wallet for $400. Still, glad I didn't wait longer, it's $550 now, 2 months later.

On a side note, compiling shaders spiked my cpu temp to 100, luckily it only took about 10 seconds...

Game is pretty unforgiving on hard once you get past the early missions. Clone trooper dude is great but the AP bottleneck is real with him and he is slow AF

When the fuck do you get the jedi? Hope it's not at the end of the game.

About 9 cycles in at the earliest, varies depending on how much you focus on the main story, is what I hear.

Also there's a 12th hidden class that no one has discovered yet, or well, revealed if they have discovered it. I know some youtubers got full advance copies and have beat the game already.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a Mandolorian since this takes place during the Clone Wars

There's already a Mandolorian in the 11 known classes. There are 8 base classes and 4 exotic. Padawan, Astromech, Mando Warrior and the hidden one.

Been having fun w/ it, on cycle 9 I think. Encountered a Jedi, but haven't recruited one.

I think my Jae is defective. In theory she should be damn good at range, in practice she can't hit the broad side of a barn unless she's doing the Execute thing....which is pretty damn nice.

The execute talent has saved my ass so many times - she will lob the final hit from across the map

It's super useful that's for sure. Hope there's some builds later that let you regen AP on kills or ups the cap from 3. I'm sure there is but haven't gotten that far or read into anything.

The fat alien mechanic has a talent that refunds all AP if you kill a unit with an upper cut. I haven’t come across others yet
