PC Players Are Having a Bad Time with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

News

I’ve a unhealthy feeling about this…

Like Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes stepping out on stage to carry out an encore in Mos Eisley cantina, the joy for Respawn Entertainment’s next-gen follow-up to certainly one of 2019’s greatest video games was reaching fever pitch. Sure, whereas the California-based crew had delayed Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for further polish – it was initially supposed to launch final month, in spite of everything – it’s protected to say it’s probably the most eagerly anticipated video games of the yr, particularly for followers of that galaxy far, far-off.

With the launch of Jedi Survivor rolling out right now, nonetheless, it appears that evidently the celebrations have turned a little bitter, particularly for these on PC. See, not solely are droves of PC gamers having points with “unpacking” the ridiculous file dimension of Jedi Survivor, however the sport’s efficiency has been a little bit of a crapshoot as effectively, and that’s most likely placing it evenly.

In truth, all you could do is take a look on the sport’s official Steam web page and also you’ll discover that the Souls-like cinematic journey has already earned itself a “Mostly Negative” User Review Score from 2,268 opinions, on the time of writing. Ouch!

From what we are able to collect, points like screen-tearing, framerate drops, crashes, and customarily poor optimisation throughout the board appear to be the order of the day. Alas, it’s not simply these with decrease finish setups which are feeling pissed off, although. Yes, even these fortunate sufficient to personal fashionable graphics playing cards like GeForce RTX 3080/4080s are allegedly having points working the title to a passable customary.

Adding much more insult to harm, different PC gamers are having issues with Jedi Survivor’s preload, which is getting caught on the 95 p.c mark. In truth, some players who had been able to dive in have needed to depart their PC working in a single day because it’s taking so lengthy to obtain.

Of course, it’s honest to say that almost all of contemporary video games that launch today have their fair proportion of issues at launch. From Warzone 2.0 to Gotham Knights to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, it usually takes a few weeks earlier than patches and updates repair the end-product. Fortunately, it appears that evidently Respawn is conscious of the problems, and has promised “weeks” of patches for Jedi Survivor.

To set the report straight, we’re positive the developer will iron out the majority of those niggly points in future patches. But chalking this as much as “launch day problems” prefer it’s completely regular to launch a sport in such a poor state is more and more changing into a tiresome development that we wished would simply do one.
